The Jazz Urbane: Label, Artistry, and Mentorship
Professor Bill Banfield and his cohorts in the group the Jazz Urbane are on a cross-generational, trans-stylistic musical voyage. A collective—featuring veteran faculty members, young Berklee alumni, and guest artists—taps influences from jazz, r&b, rock, hip-hop, and more. The late George Duke contributed as a pianist and the executive producer for the band's new album Playing with Other People's Heads. The recording—sadly the last one produced by Duke before his untimely passing in August 2013—was released on Banfield's Jazz Urbane label and is distributed and marketed by Sugo Music Group.
Banfield has been a bandleader and indie record label proprietor for three decades. Through the years, such performers as Najee, Rachel Z, Billy Kilson, Carla Cook, Regina Carter, and others have passed through his groups. For the 2004 album Striking Balance (Inova), Banfield worked with Billy Childs, Patrice Rushen, Don Byron, Sounds of Blackness, and Nelson Rangell.
A major focus of his group's latest iteration, Jazz Urbane, is mentorship. Banfield started assembling his cross-generational lineup in 2006 after a conversation with bassist Esperanza Spalding '05. "We talked about creating a band that would have a regular gig at a Boston nightspot," Banfield says. "Esperanza invited her drummer and a close friend, [trumpeter] Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah ['04], to a rehearsal." But after playing together, Banfield realized how different the younger players' conception of groove and harmony was from his.
"I had to find my way back from the grooves of the '70s, '80s, and '90s to get with the new beats of their generation," he says. He brought in his faculty peers George Russell Jr. (keyboards), Stan Strickland (vocals and woodwinds), Lenny Stallworth (bass), and Kenwood Dennard (drums). "We started a band and then invited younger instrumentalists Esperanza, Christian, Grace Kelly ['11], Alex Han ['09], and some singers to join," Banfield says. The result was Jazz Urbane, a musical melting pot where the sensibilities of Banfield and his peers coalesced with those of the younger performers. And there was sharing of musical knowledge going in both directions.
Banfield and company began hosting Monday night jam sessions at Darryl's Corner Bar & Kitchen in Roxbury. They began drawing capacity crowds and caught the attention of the New York Times in 2008 when Darryl's was included in the Times's listing of jazz hot spots.
In planning for a new recording, Banfield chose some material he'd written in the early 1980s with the idea of giving the old songs a new "urbane wrapping." He began the production process with Joey Blake and Turahn Dorsey in his kitchen recording his seasoned and youthful players with Garage Band. He also approached his former mentor, George Duke, about being the executive producer to help mold the sound of Jazz Urbane. Duke agreed and asked his engineer to convert Banfield's tracks to Pro Tools files and the recording work continued in Duke's Los Angeles studio. Ultimately, 30 artists (primarily Berklee faculty and alumni) participated. Veterans Banfield, Najee, Terri Lyne Carrington, Greg Osby, Stokley Williams, Winston Maccow, and others play on tracks with younger artists Alex Han, Kevin Ross, Annette Philip, Jessie Taitt, and Grace Kelly.
The album has clicked, and as of this writing, it's in rotation on 200 stations that cross the spectrum, from college radio to NPR to jazz stations. "Jazz Urbane is one of the most artistic, forward-thinking, creatively endowed music labels we have ever worked with," says Stevan Pasero, the CEO of Sugo Music Group. "Pure soul, heart and ingenuity emanates from its core."
The name Jazz Urbane infers several things musically to Banfield. "It's sophisticated and cosmopolitan as the words urbane and jazz imply, but it's also urban. We are crossing stylistic boundaries trying make noncategorical music that features the best of what music can do."

DOVER — As snow continued to fall over southern New Hampshire and Maine Sunday afternoon, vehicles continued to slip and slide over and off slick roadways into the evening.
Though no fire or police department reported any serious accidents on Sunday, most reported numerous calls for vehicles that had failed to negotiate the slush covered roads and wound up sliding off to the side.
In one instance, State Police Troop A responded to a school bus where the driver had simply lost control of the unoccupied vehicle just north of Exit 9 on the Spaulding Turnpike.
That accident occurred around 1:20 p.m. and caused oncoming drivers to divert their route into the breakdown lane as the turned bus spanned the width of the turnpike on the northbound side.
There were no injuries reported during that incident.
In Milton, three patients were extricated from a motor vehicle accident between Exits 17 and 18 where ambulances from Frisbie Memorial Hospital and Milton responded to the scene along with rescue crews who employed the Jaws of Life to free the entrapped patients.
Capt. Paul Haas of the Dover Fire Department said there had been a handful of vehicles off the road in the Garrison City, but nothing major that the department had responded to.
He said there were no downed wires or trees and no power outages he was aware of.
However in Rochester, power outages were reported in the area of Care Pharmacy on South Main Street near Frisbie Memorial Hospital.
The fire department reported a number of wires down, though some were cable and telephone wires and not necessarily electrical.
Snow accumulations varied greatly from town to town, with more than a foot tallied in some areas and just a few inches sticking to the ground in others.
Mike Kistner of the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine, said Rochester and Strafford saw some of the highest levels in Strafford County with 14 and 13.5 inches respectively.
Points toward the coast, he said saw smaller amounts while anyplace further inland received a higher snowfall.
This was the second biggest storm of the year as far as widespread totals.
Compared to the Blizzard of 2013, Kistner said this system brought less wind and though snow totals followed a similar pattern, the snow this weekend was far heavier, wet and dense.
"Generally this is the nature of the beast, though, when you get closer to spring," he said of the type of snow seen over the weekend.
He also said there is possibly more snow on the way midweek.
Wednesday into Thursday could see another significant snowfall, though Kistner said it is still to early to tell what exactly may form.
"The same areas that got mostly rain today could wind up getting the same by midweek," he said. For other locations, he said his best guess is mostly snow will fall.

AKRON -- Organizers of the All-American Soap Box Derby in Northeast Ohio say the youth racing organization is expected to have a profit of roughly $35,000 for the year that ended in September, once paperwork is finalized.
President Joe Mazur told the Akron Beacon Journal recently that the organization's struggling financial picture is looking better.
Organizers have been working to rebuild the organization's popularity and its financial footing since 2010, when its economic troubles led to a fundraising campaign that helped it clear $152,000. The derby lost $111,000 the following year as donations decreased.
Mazur took over in mid-2011 and is aiming to expand the number of race cities from the existing 123 to more than 200 in five years. He's also increased focus on education and expanded memorabilia sales opportunities.
The derby lost corporate sponsorship and was sued in 2009 by a bank seeking payment on $580,000 in loans, but the city agreed to guarantee the loans. The derby turned its attention to paying the loans and finding ways to increase funding.
The financial problems inspired actor and director Corbin Bernsen to make "25 Hill," a film about a derby racer that premiered in Akron last year and generated $150,000 for the organization.
Additional money also came from foundations and grants, sales of derby car kits and licensing agreements with cities hosting derby qualifying races.
Another boost came from adding Akron-based FirstEnergy Corp. as the derby's first national title sponsor in seven years.
The derby, which celebrated its 75th anniversary this year, started in Dayton and moved to Akron one year later, with the downhill race of gravity-powered cars held annually except during World War II.

Singleton and Carnegie deal with Rinehart has Fairfax 'in play'
FAIRFAX Media shares surged more than 7 per cent on Monday after the release of John Singleton and Mark Carnegie's ''consultation agreement'' with mining magnate Gina Rinehart, aimed at breaking up the company.
The agreement was signed on Friday between Mr Singleton and Mr Carnegie's Gutenberg Investments Unit Trust and Mrs Rinehart's Hanrine Investments and Timeview Enterprises - part of the Hancock Prospecting Group, which owns 14.99 per cent of Fairfax.
The stated objective of the agreement was to ''consult with each other on key matters affecting Fairfax with a view to enhancing shareholder value''.
The parties told the sharemarket they had a combined stake of 15.14 per cent in Fairfax. Gutenberg, Macquarie Radio Network and two vehicles associated with Mr Carnegie's Companion Fund bought 0.15 per cent of the company, or 3.6 million shares worth $1.8 million at Monday's closing price of 51¢, up 3.5¢ on the day.
Mr Carnegie and Mr Singleton had hoped to acquire up to 4.9 per cent of Fairfax before informing the market but were told by lawyers Gilbert + Tobin, who drafted the agreement, that they must disclose their association with Mrs Rinehart.
It is understood Gutenberg was not buying on Monday when 18 million shares changed hands.
Mr Singleton and Mr Carnegie own the majority of Macquarie Radio, which last year bid unsuccessfully for Fairfax Media's radio assets.
On Friday, Mr Singleton said Gutenberg had bought into Fairfax Media as a result of the company's board closing the door on a sale - or joint venture - of its radio assets to Macquarie Radio.
BBY media analyst Mark McDonnell said Monday's share price reaction confirmed that Fairfax was ''in play''.
Earlier he said Mrs Rinehart, who failed in a bid for a board seat in 2012, "may not require long-term retention of the radio stations at Fairfax, so it's entirely possible a deal has been struck or is under discussion" between her and Mr Singleton.
Mr Singleton's remarks ''suggest that he is still more interested in the radio stations than anything else", Mr McDonnell said.

On Tuesday, I had the honor of attending a Luncheon held in honor of Justine Picardie, the author of Chanel – Her Life. Tucked away in the private upstairs room of La Grenouille, "the last great French restaurant in New York", the intimate setting and amidst gorgeous floral displays, it was the perfect place to spend an afternoon celebrating the life of Coco Chanel.
I read Picardie's first edition of Coco Chanel: The Legend and The Life while on vacation this summer and it is by far my favorite Chanel biography. In fact, Karl Lagerfeld himself loved the biography so much that he created illustrations and redesigned the layout of the book, including the font, for the second edition published by Lagerfeld's long-time publisher Steidl. I'm so glad I had already read the book because the new edition – Chanel – Her Life – is so beautiful I would hate to cause any wear-and-tear to the edition. Having read the book only a month ago, much of it was fresh in my mind. But, to hear the author herself discuss the experience brought a whole new level of understanding.
Growing Up With Chanel
Though Justine Picardie started the process of writing Chanel – Her Life in 1998, her fascination with Chanel started as a little girl. Her mother kept Chanel N°5 on her dressing table and that was her mom's signature scent. Though Picardie couldn't read yet, the typeface of the Chanel N°5 bottle was so distinctive, she knew that is contents were "precious" and the bottle was off-limits to Justine and her sister. It seems Picardie's mother was a Chanelphile herself and for her wedding she wore a little black dress – not a Chanel original but made from a Vogue Chanel pattern. Continuing in the rebellious spirit of her mother, Justine Picardie wore her mother's wedding dress during her punk phase to see The Clash and The Sex Pistols (so cool on so many levels!).
Gabrielle Chanel, Convent Life and Chanel Iconography
I've often read of Gabrielle Chanel's mysterious childhood growing up in the convent at Aubazine – mysterious because of the many versions of her childhood that Chanel recounted often replacing nuns with "severe aunts in black." Justine Picardie is the only writer that was granted access to stay at the convent. The process of gaining access was a long one, but when one of Picardie's letters reached the abbey on the Saint Justine's Saint's Day, the nuns saw it as a sign and allowed Justine Picardie to stay at the convent on the condition that she follow their routine. And so she woke at dawn, prayed, ate very little, prayed some more and sang. Not only was she able to walk the same halls that young Gabrielle Chanel had, but she got to experience what Coco Chanel had experienced.
In many ways, growing up at Aubazine was probably the biggest influence on Coco Chanel's designs. From the stark black and white of the nuns' habits, star patterns in the mosaic floor of Aubazine Abbey, iron crosses and patterns in the stained glass that are eerily similar to the interlocking C's – all of this imagery plays a large part in modern Chanel iconography and provides the foundation for the house that Chanel built. In fact, she sent the architect of La Pausa to the Aubazine Abbey to replicate the staircase for the foyer of La Pausa.
Coco Chanel's Activities During WWII
We've all read the vicious rumors circulating online about Coco Chanel prompted by Hal Vaughan's Sleeping With the Enemy (review coming shortly but you can hear Justine Picardie and Hal Vaughan debate the topic in the mean time). Picardie would never speak ill of another writer's work; she read the same sources that Hal Vaughan read and she came to very different conclusions. For Ms. Picardie, the situation was a "much more complicated story."
Time has not been kind to Coco Chanel and her wartime activities. She closed her house because she thought that war was "no time for fashion." Though it was seen as patriotic to stay in business, the French designers that did continue throughout the war only ended up designing for the wives and mistresses of Nazi officers – not very patriotic. Indeed, perhaps not selling to the Nazis was more patriotic, non? For example, Cartier designed a piece for Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's Minister of Propoganda, but you don't see people exploiting that fact – or calling Cartier a Nazi. Picasso sold paintings to Nazi's and even had some Nazi's visit his studio. In fact, any French person who was not part of the resistance in some way or another had contact with Germans. Whether you were a barber, baker or banker – if you were in occupied France you had to work with Germans.
It's sad, but Coco Chanel may be the victim of sexism – a "convenient scapegoat". She was a strong, financially independent business woman – something very rare back then (and still scary to some today). Her relationship with a half-English half-German low-level spy was complicated – as were all of her relationships with men. The lowest act she committed was trying to get control of Chanel Fragrances – a company whose name she shared but only shared in 10% of its profits – through the use of anti-Jewish laws. Not respectable at all, though there is much more to the story (read the book for information on all wartime activities).
The 1954 Comeback
Coco Chanel re-opened her house in 1954 to awful French review – the kind that would make anyone else quit. That Coco Chanel continued is a "measure of her strength". Her reason for returning to Fashion? Dior. In 1947 he popularized the "New Look" and managed to bring back corsets, virtually un-doing Chanel's life's work. She had done so much to liberate women and she wanted to free them from the tyranny of the corset one more time. (It appears the rivalry between Dior and Chanel is not a new one).
The Luncheon
The afternoon started with champagne and hors d'oeuvres followed by a sumptuous meal – the kind that I could see Coco Chanel herself enjoying amidst the company of her artist friends. As we dined, Justine Picardie recounted stories of her stay at The Ritz in the suite that Coco Chanel died in (not the pre-WWII Coco Chanel Suite). It seems Mlle. Chanel may have paid Ms. Picardie a visit the night of her stay. Over a hushed table, Justine Picardie told us how after turning in for the night and shutting the lights one of the bulbs shot out of the wall sconce, lights flickered and lights turned on without her help. The luncheon ended with Ms. Picardie signing my copy of Chanel – Her Life and I received a box of Chanel N°19 Poudré compliments of Chanel.
Coco Chanel – Living in Black and White
If I took away one thing from reading Chanel – Her Life and hearing Justine Picardie speak – it would be that Coco Chanel is shrouded in mystery because she was a woman of contrasts. From the diametrically opposed staircases in her life – the dark, austere Aubazine Abbey to the glimmering, mirrored staircase at 31 Rue Cambon, to her at-once loving yet litigious relationship with her business partner of sorts Pierre Wertheimer, Chanel was a complicated woman. She hid the darkest parts of her past like the shame of growing up in poverty and from that she created light – beautiful creations that look as modern now as they did seventy-years ago. And from the mystery of her life, the contrast of darkness and light, the simplicity of the signature black and white Chanel branding make all the sense in the world.
Chanel – Her Life is available now in bookstores and online.

LeBron James joins forces with Starz for sitcom
NEW YORK (AP) LeBron James is joining forces with Starz and the man behind classic shows like "The Cosby Show" to create a sitcom that will touch on something he knows a lot about - "Survivor's Remorse."
The Miami Heat star will be the executive producer of the half-hour show. It will focus on two people who make it big after getting out of Philadelphia's inner city and will chronicle the characters as they try to adjust to that fame along with feelings of guilt for having made it while peers are still struggling.
James is working on the project with his business partner and longtime friend Maverick Carter, along with Tom Werner, the force behind shows such as "The Cosby Show" and "Roseanne." Actor Mike O'Malley will also be an executive producer.
EXTRA MUSTARD: Is LeBron's mom dating Miami rapper?

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—Behind a 29-point showing from Lauren Avant, Rhodes College defeated the Birmingham-Southern women's basketball team, 74-59, Sunday afternoon in Bill Battle Coliseum. The Panthers fall to 7-10 overall and 3-3 in the Southern Athletic Association, while the Lynx move to 13-3 overall and 5-1 in the SAA. Rhodes is now tied with Centre atop the conference standings.
Senior Elizabeth Bromirski led the Panthers with 17 points (on 5-9 shooting) and 11 rebounds for her sixth double-double of the year, while sophomore Jane Romano had 10 points. Avant recorded 29 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Lynx, shooting 7-16 from the field. Rhodes' Symone Daniels led all players with 13 rebounds and also put up 10 points, while Sarah Johnson and Dy'Nelle Todman were also in double digit scoring with 12 and 10 points, respectively. Johnson also led with five assists.
BSC led 4-3 early in the first half and it would turn out to be the Panthers' final lead of the game, as Rhodes pulled out to a 16-point lead by the 9:44 mark and led by 20, 44-24, at the half. The second half was more of the same, as the Lynx maintained a comfortable lead for the duration of the game. BSC was able to put together a 10-0 run to end the game, though, after trailing by 25, 74-49, with 2:33 left, cutting the final score to 74-59.
The Panthers struggled on the boards, pulling down 37 rebounds to Rhodes' 56. Both teams shot similarly percentage-wise, although the Lynx took nearly 20 more shots than BSC, going 22-72 (30.6 percent) to the Panthers' 18-54 (33.3 percent) showing.
Turnovers were also similar with BSC turning the ball over 12 times, only once more than Rhodes.
BSC is on the road for its next four games, beginning with a trip to Georgia next weekend to face Berry on Friday, Jan. 31, at 6 p.m. ET in Rome, Ga., followed by a date with Oglethorpe on Sunday, Feb. 2, at 1 p.m. ET in Atlanta. The Panthers return home on Valentine's Day, Feb. 14, to face Centre at 6 p.m.

A Chicago teen being held in an Indonesian jail on charges she and her boyfriend killed her mother and then stuffed the fresh body into a suitcase claims she's been sexually assaulted at least three times in the five days she's been in police custody.
Heather Lois Mack's attorney, Michael Elkin, also confirmed his client is two months pregnant and said she's found what appear to be needle marks on various areas of her body but claims she doesn't know how they got there.
"Heather seemed to be dazed and confounded," Elkin said in a statement after talking with his client overnight. "I asked why she sounded incoherent at times. She said that she was not getting enough water. She also mentioned that she was being given 'vitamin pills,' but could not identify what they were for and asked me if she should stop taking them."
Mack, 19, and her 21-year-old boyfriend, Tommy Schaefer, were arrested last Wednesday in Bali's Kuta area, a day after the body of Sheila von Wiese-Mack was found inside the trunk of a taxi parked in front of the St. Regis Bali Resort. They were charged with murder two days later. If found guilty, both could be sentenced to death under Article 340 of Indonesia's Criminal Code.
Djoko Hari Utomo, chief of police for the Balinese capital Denpasar, said earlier Monday that he was aware of Heather Mack's complaints of mistreatment in jail but did not elaborate.
"Heather complains about the food and she is being not well-treated in jail. Nevertheless, police treats the prisoner all the same," he said.
Elkin said his telephone conversations with Mack were facilitated by staff from the U.S. Consulate in that country but said his client had not revealed the alleged incidents of sexual abuse to consulate staffers.
An autopsy Saturday found that von Wiese-Mack, 62, died of asphyxiation from a broken nose bone resulting from a blunt blow, said Ida Bagus Putu Alit, head of forensics at Sanglah Hospital in Bali's provincial capital of Denpasar. She also suffered from a broken neck, Alit said.
The autopsy found that breaks in von Wiese-Mack's neck and nose extended to her upper right and left jaws, causing respiratory disorders, Alit said. It also showed hand wounds suggesting she was trying to fend off an attack.
"We also found blood aspiration, which meant the victim was standing when assaulted," Alit said. "The conclusion is that the victim suffocated from lack of oxygen because of influx of blood from the broken nose bone."
Alit said von Wiese-Mack was believed to have died Tuesday morning.
U.S. & World
"The victim was last spotted on CCTV at 3:45 a.m. (Tuesday), and three hours later she called receptionists asking to wake her up at 10 a.m.," Alit said. "However, she did not respond when awakened."
Plans were set to return von Wiese-Mack's body to the United States on Tuesday.
Bali's deputy police chief, Brig. Gen. Gusti Ngurah Raharja Subyakta, meanwhile said psychological tests showed that there were no psychiatric disorders with the couple charged in the death.
Von Wiese-Mack and her daughter arrived at the St. Regis on Aug. 9, while Schaefer checked in on Monday, two days later, according to police. Security camera video showed that the victim had an argument with Schaefer on Monday in the hotel's lobby.
Police say Mack and Schaefer placed the suitcase inside the trunk of the taxi, and asked the driver to wait while they checked out of the hotel. However, they didn't return, and hotel security guards who had found blood spots on the suitcase suggested that the driver take the taxi to a police station, where officers opened the suitcase and discovered the body.
The couple told investigators that von Wiese-Mack was killed by robbers while they managed to escape, Utomo said.
Authorities in the upscale Chicago suburb of Oak Park said records showed 86 incidents in which police were called to the family's house in Oak Park where von Wiese-Mack lived with her daughter. Friends and neighbors said the mother-daughter relationship was sometimes contentious.
The calls started in 2004 and lasted through June 2013, according to village of Oak Park spokesman David Powers, who also said the family moved out about a year ago. The bulk of the calls were missing-person reports, and others included domestic problems and theft.
Powers didn't have details about the calls, but said none resulted in arrests. He added there were a number of emergency 911 calls made from the residence in which the caller hung up, and, as is standard procedure, the police department sent a squad car to investigate.
Von Wiese-Mack was the widow of highly regarded jazz and classical composer James L. Mack of Oak Park, Illinois, who died in 2006 at age 76.
In 2012, von Wiese-Mack joined a century-old Chicago book club called the Caxton Club. She had varied interests including Asian literature and Wagnerian opera, according to a May 2013 profile of her in the club's publication Caxtonian.
Elkin said Heather Mack hired him on Thursday and said the allegations against his client would be "disproved as the investigation continues."

View all the images from the Royal College of Art Record of Student Work
The Royal College of Art Record of Student Work is a collection of images of work produced at the College from 1960 to 2002 in the fields of fine and applied art, design and communications. The majority of images are installation shots taken from final-year degree shows, representing the culmination of each student's time at the RCA. This initial selection (August 2010) of over 5,000 images is drawn from the College's collection of around 30,000 slides of student work. It features the work of hundreds of students across all departments, including:
The following alumni are amongst the hundreds represented in the resource:
Norman Ackroyd, David Adjaye, Tord Boontje, Pauline Boty, Alison Britton, Ian Callum, Jake Chapman, Ossie Clark, Sue Coe, Adam Dant, Tracey Emin, Naomi Filmer, David Frost, Anton Furst, Tom Gauld, Kursty Groves, Thomas Heatherwick, David Hockney, Alison Jackson, Duncan Kerr, Karen Kelly, Orla Kiely, Julien Macdonald, David Mach, Tim Molloy, Jasper Morrison, Nick Munro, Peter Naumann, Harold Offeh, Chris Ofili, Chris Orr, Zandra Rhodes, Peter Schreyer, Ridley Scott, Martin Smith, Hannah Starkey, Alice Temperley, Susie Templeton, Adele Tipler, Philip Treacy, Gavin Turk, Emma Woffenden, Run Wrake
The initial selection of works for digitisation was compiled in consultation with senior tutors from each department. The remaining images are available for browsing in slide or digital format within the RCA's special collections. Enquiries about works not available through VADS, and requests for future scanning projects, should be directed to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Student activity has always been well represented among the archives and image resources of the Royal College of Art. Since the mid 20th century, when teaching of product, technical and graphic design began, a pictorial record has been kept of student work, with an emphasis on work exhibited in annual degree shows. The graduate shows were initially photographed by individual departments in the 1960s and 1970s on an ad hoc basis. In 1979, however, this effort was centralised, and the RCA's slide library assumed responsibility for photography and cataloguing, resulting in a more comprehensive and managed selection of images. A move to born-digital photography took place in 2003 and digital images of degree-shows 2003-present are still produced and distributed on the College intranet through its 'Show Gallery' resource. These images are not currently available through VADS but enquiries may be directed to email@example.com.
Under College Regulations, the RCA has the right to make images of student work, such as those included here, and the ability to make these available for the purpose of promotion of the RCA and its students. These images are made available through VADS for non-commercial use only and with full attribution to the Royal College of Art and the student whose work is represented. In most cases of scanned slides, the College believes it unambiguously owns the rights to these particular images of work, which are understood to have been made by employees of the College. However, in some exceptional cases, it is not possible to determine the exact photographer responsible for certain images, and whether occasional images might be drawn from slides donated by individual students or others to the College's collection after the fact. This is particularly true for images 1960-78 which pre-date management of the resource by library staff. If you identify any images which you believe were produced independent of the RCA and which may be subject to different copyrights, please contact us with full details at firstname.lastname@example.com. We will investigate and, if necessary, remove the image(s) in question.
If you have any comments about the images made available through this site, including any queries regarding rights, or corrections to the data, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Notes for DOW PERRY BROOKS:
The following letter from Dow Perry Brooks, my great grandfather, to Mrs. W.O. Britt (nee Elizabeth Brooks)of Thomaston, Georgia, from Curtis(no longer exists) Eastland Co, Texas. Written on Nov. 9,1906
"Dear Cousin:
I received your favor of several days ago and was glad to hear from you again. I have been trying to get all the information I could obtain as to the genealogy of Simon and Phoebe Brooks and their ancestors.I am glad to say I have found their family record in the hands of my brother, E.H. Brooks of Callahan Co. Texas, a copy of which I enclose. My brother wishes me to say that in a storm some thirty years ago the Bible was damaged to some extent, but the family record is all right.
Cousin John is mistaken I think as to grandpa Simon being a foriegner. It was his father, James Brooks who came to this country Grandpa Simon Brooks was, I think, a North Carolinean. I have often heard him speak of his father moving from North Carolina to South Carolina. James Brooks, the father of Grandpa Simon Brooks, I have heard, reard a large family. I can't remember their names, but I do remember the names Jacob, Esau, and Aaron. I think there were several others. One of the sisters married a man named Walravens, and another of his sisters married a Williamsom. Granddaughter of hers is now on a visit to a son-in-law of hers living on my place. She lives in East Texas.
Jacob Brooks, the twin brother of Esau, was living in North Alabama a few years after the Civil War. He has a grandson also named Jacob, now living in Pioneer in this county.He has a second wife and is the father of fifteen children, twelve daughters and three sons, fourteen now living.They are all married but four.
I can't tell you when or what battle Grandpa James Brooks was wounded in the Revolutionary War, nor of what company or Regiment he belonged to, but I have often heard them speak of the time but I have forgotten the place and date.
I wish you would come and spend several months with us. I think you would enjoy a visit to the Lone Star State.
D.P. Brooks
The following letter is included to show how much work has been put on this line and the records are accepted in the family.
Mrs. Ida B. Kellam Lyons, Ga.
219 S. 3rd Street April 14, 1950
Wilmington, N.C.
Dear Mrs. Kellam:
Since you wrote to me five years ago,calling my attention to the fact that part of the records of James Brooks, Revolutionary soldier of South Carolina as given in the D.A.R. papers in Washington D,C., is not entirely accurate. I have studied available records in WashingtonD.C., in Abbeville and Edgefield Counties, S.C. made several visits to the Georgia Department of History and Archives, and Genealogical Department of Carnegie Library in Atlanta, Ga. and checked the census and county records in all the early counties in Georgia, and I have come to the conclusion that the record of James Brooks, as complied by you is as complete and accurate as we are able to find.
Yours sincerely,
Ida Mae Brooks
These letters are published in the book titled "Brooks and Kindred Families" by Ida Brooks Kellam copywrited and published in 1950. I have been told by family members that at one time it was in the Ft. Worth (TX) library. Regarding the second letter, I believe the DAR record shows Simon to be the son of Eilzabeth Smith Books, and Mrs. Kellams research shows him to be the son of Margaret Thomason Brooks, which affects the Brooks lineage not at all, since James was father to all.

Cullen Week
While his wife was forced to be nice to Tori Spelling last night, Peter Facinelli reported to work on the set of New Moon in Vancouver – seen here at the airport arriving with co-star Elizabeth Reaser. Peter is super cute…only those pants aren't working for me.
Downtown there were more:
Kellan Lutz and Ashley Green went out to eat and hit H&M together, enjoying some free time before the big Cullen shoot.
Am told that a party scene involving the Cullen Family and Bella is (at press time) scheduled for tomorrow at a private residence.

Interested in Language
Hi I am a newbie here, I wish someone here can enlighten me the differences/ correctness between/of the followings 2 sentences:-
a) We received the document this morning. (simple past tense)
b) We have received the document this morning. (present perfect tense)
May I know which one is correct? It is simple but I am puzzling
Many thanks.
Many thanks
For argument sake, Simple Past Tense is use for action started and finished at a specific time in the past whereas Present Perfect Tense is use for action happened at an unspecified time before now.
And in this context, we know the action was happened and finished in the morning (past at a specific time), why present perfect tense is still correct here?
Last edited by jhol98; 07-Aug-2011 at 12:39.
The time is not really that specific when you are still in the midst of the time period referred to:
We have seen some pretty scenery on our trip (and our trip is still in progress).
I have run a lot of errands today (and today is still in progress -- not suitable once it's evening)
We have received the documents this morning (and it's still morning -- not suitable once it's afternoon)
I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.

Bjørn-Andersen, Niels; Hansen, Rina (Auckland, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This is a longitudinal study of the extent to which luxury fashion brands have struggled with the dilemma of on the one hand interacting with fans and customers online, while on the other hand retain the exclusivity, surprise, and innovation hype of the brand. We have developed a framework for assessing websites and social media sites of luxury fashion brands. We applied the framework in three empirical studies in 2006, 2008 and 2010. Our findings show that the observed luxury brands have increased their adoption of social and interactive digital Internet-based technologies since 2006. We also document some of the most interesting uses of Web 2.0 technologies fashion brands for creating an immersing and innovative environment online. While some brands like Burberry has gone "the full Monty", others like Prada has not had a functioning web-site since 2007, probably disappointed about their first attempts at "getting their feet wet" early on. The findings have theoretical relevance in the shape of the 8C framework, but it should also have relevance for practitioners, as it might function as a checklist for creators and management of fashion brand websites.

Hansen, Rina; Tambo, Torben (Turku, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: E-commerce has matured and become mainstream. The fashion industry is now competing strongly in the digital markets. Beside traditional web-shops, new sales and branding channels are emerging e.g. M-commerce (mobile); social commerce; marketplaces; gaming etc. E-commerce and multi-channel retailing (MCR) now have a less technology-centric perspective while focusing more on sales and branding, although technology is the carrier and imposes limits. Corporate information systems are extended to the consumer"s computers, smartphones and digital entertainment platforms. The information systems (IS) research tradition is somewhat challenged but can provide an elaborate framework for the understanding of the business and technology changes as well as provide an ideal support for research and businesses in choosing among the different MCR options. This paper proposes a model to understand and position fashion companies" existing and future sales and branding channels from an IS perspective. Future research suggestions include long-term challenges and benefits of distinct electronic channels. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8527

A longitudinal study of the adoption of online interactive and social media by luxury fashion brandsHansen, Rina (Turku, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Most luxury fashion brands have yet to develop a clear and focused integrated online strategy, as they have struggled with the dilemma of interacting with fans and customers online. We observed how 35 luxury fashion brands utilized social and interactive online technologies since 2006 by formulating a framework for assessing fashion websites and brand controlled social media sites. Our findings illustrate that the observed luxury brands have increased their adoption of social and interactive digital technologies since 2006, and that with the help of Web 2.0 technologies fashion brands can create an immersing and innovative environment online.The findings also have relevance for practitioners, as the developed 8C framework can function as a checklist for fashion brand website creation.

Why I LOVE green smoothies:
There are countless reasons why incorporating more vegetables, especially leafy greens, in our diets can positively influence our health. I find the simplest and quickest way to increase my vegetable intake is by blending greens and taking them with me on-the-go. Here are some of the reasons I aim for one green smoothie a day:
1) Increasing fruit and vegetable consumption (leafy greens in particular) helps prevent heart disease.
2) Green vegetables contain compounds that support our immune system.
3) Greater leafy green consumption has been associated with lower rates of type 2 diabetes.
4) Spinach can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
5) Kale provides greater calcium absorption than milk.
6) Fruit and vegetable consumption decreases the risk of cancers of the stomach, esophagus, lung, oral cavity and pharynx, endometrium, pancreas, and colon.
Basic Green Smoothie:
- 2 handfuls of organic spinach
- 2 pieces of organic celery
- 1/2 avocado
- 1 chunk fresh ginger
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- ice
Add-ins for more substance, antioxidants, and flavor:
- plant-based protein powder
- ground flax seed
- fresh spirulina
- moringa powder
- high-quality matcha tea
- maca powder
- apple or kiwi
- spinach = anti-inflammatory, low glycemic index, anti-cancer effects, excellent source of iron, magnesium, & calcium, avoid large amounts if prone to kidney stones or taking blood thinners
- fresh ginger = anti-inflammatory, may help decrease fasting blood glucose and HbA1c
- avocado = anti-inflammatory, low glycemic index, high in fiber, may help lower LDL "bad" cholesterol and maintain normal serum total cholesterol levels, contains glutathione which has anti-carcinogenic properties and may boost immunity

Sean Combs is determined to own an NFL team, and fans can only hope that if he succeeds, he won't change the squad's name every couple of years.
Combs, aka Puff daddy, Puffy, P. Diddy and Diddy, tweeted late Thursday of his desire to join Jerry Jones, Al Davis and other mega-rich sportsmen in the owner's box at a stadium in an as-yet undetermined city. No teams are currently up for sale, but Combs is worth an estimated $300 million, so he might be able to pull it off.
"I will be the 1st black man to be majority owner of a NFL football team!!!! BELIEVE!!!!!!! All things are possible through Christ!" Combs tweeted.
The hip hop impresario recently flirted with buying European soccer club Crystal palace, but backed off, saying "it wasn't the right business move for me at the time."
I'm always looking into different business ventures and it's definitely one of my dreams one day to be a part of a sports franchise, especially a football team," he said.
"If the right situation comes my way and it's appealing and we can make the right splash and most importantly build the right team and win... I'm into winning and if it's the right situation then I'm open to it."

I will really miss 'You are Loved'. Although it's Valentine themed, I've used it for all sorts of occasions.
This Colour Combo is Regal Rose, Pool Party and Lucky Limeade.
Tomorrow I'm off to the Stampin' Up! Regional Training in Reading with 10 of the Stampin' Angels (there will be 126 Demonstrators in total attending) and I can't wait! Over the last four years of being a Demonstrator I've made tons of friends from all over the country through these events and each year I look forward to them even more. My swaps are done (for a change) just a few little things to sort out tomorrow and I'll be all set to go with an early start in the morning.
Watch out for something NEW next week that might tempt you to become part of the Stampin' Up! family. And if this has already got you thinking, have a read of My Story here.
Have a great weekend and don't forget, last orders for the Spring Mini by Monday 30th.

Bad timing: Roam restaurant closes the day before it's reviewed
Why do we have a review in today's Wednesday Food section of a restaurant that closed yesterday? Because the section prints on Monday night. Roam closed abruptly Tuesday evening and it was too late to change our pages.
Lori Midson, the restaurant reporter at Westword, broke the story, and from the sounds of it, nearly broke her camera in the process. My calls to the restaurant last night and this morning went unanswered. Its website is not working, and OpenTable says it cannot make a reservation there.
I thought about pulling William Porter's review off of our website, but that didn't seem fair to Bill or to the chefs who worked at Roam. So we leave the story as a sensory record of a brief moment, acknowledging the work that goes into preparing food and writing about dining. Best wishes to the employees of Roam who are now out looking for new jobs.

No problems clarity is always the challenge on ODN.
sorry I missed your private message due to a full mail box.. .try again, it is clear now
Pretty much a minor issue IMO.
I don't believe MORE information is bad. Which is all "creation" is.
That whole issue not withstanding, I would rather a pres who disagrees with me on that issue and agrees with me on say. healthcare, or taxes.
It certainly isn't an issue worth NOT voting for someone.
Real quick on propaganda. I didn't mean it that you were making information up. That is a use of propaganda, but that isn't how I intended it. I intended more of an omission which I accept is an easy mistake to make. Just don't want you to think I was saying you were making stuff up to support your point.
I should have space now.. sorry
I thought you were pretty respectful in the race thread. I hope I came across the same way. The great challenge on ODN is to disagree without taking things personally. I would like to think we both achieved that in the thread.
your personal
Mind Trap
I'd like to hear your thoughts on this:
The rep was deserved... I like to give credit where it's due, even if I disagree strongly with the position held.
Please provide me with a link to the thread and I'll comment. I certainly haven't conceded the issue, nor do I plan to do so.
Thanks for the warm wishes.
Just wanted to let you know that I do intend to jump back in to the atheist morality thread, I'm just kind of busy with RL now that University is starting up.

LODI - The man accused of fatally stabbing a Los Angeles Dodgers fan near AT&T Park after Wednesday night's Giants game is an aspiring musician but not much of a sports fan, according to his mother.
LODI - The man accused of fatally stabbing a Los Angeles Dodgers fan near AT&T Park after Wednesday night's Giants game is an aspiring musician but not much of a sports fan, according to his mother.
Victoria Montgomery said her son Michael Montgomery, 21, is "freaked out and torn up" over an altercation that resulted in the death of Jonathan Denver, 24.
Late Friday, San Francisco's district attorney said he's not yet ready to file charges against Montgomery.
District Attorney George Gascon said in a statement that not all witnesses have been questioned, and no independent witnesses have been interviewed in the stabbing death of Denver.
Gascon said he has asked police to gather more evidence before his office decides whether to file charges against Montgomery, who police said made "incriminating statements" after his arrest.
The district attorney did not say whether, or when, Montgomery would be released from custody. Police and prosecutors did not immediately reply to messages left late Friday.
Denver was leaving the Giants-Dodgers game with his father, brother and two other people Wednesday night, and became engaged in an altercation with Michael Montgomery and a group of his friends who were leaving a nightclub, according to police.
Victoria Montgomery said her son acted in self defense, after being hit with a chair during the fight. She said her son was terrified to see Denver dying in his father's arms.
"He's always been a good kid. He just turned 21 in August. I know he didn't want to kill anybody," Victoria Montgomery said about her son, a Lodi Adult School graduate.
"He's just always wanted to be a musician, not like a traditional musician like playing guitar. He liked beats, electronic music," she added, confirming that her son wanted to be a club disc jockey. "He was talking about going back to college before this happened."
Police and media reports have characterized the stabbing as the result of a Giants-Dodgers rivalry fight. Tensions have been high between fans of the two teams in recent years, including a fight at Dodger Stadium in 2011 when Giants fan Brian Stow was beaten into a coma and suffered brain damage at the hands of Dodger fans leaving the game.http://sredit.ot.atl.publicus.com/apps/pbcsedit.dll/red
Police said the fight occurred at 11:30 p.m. Wednesday, 90 minutes after the baseball game ended. Denver and his family were leaving a bar when they saw Montgomery's group. Police said one of the people in Montgomery's group was wearing a Giants hat.
Victoria Montgomery said her son liked sports "but he wasn't that into it" to where he bought team gear or regularly attended games.
"It wasn't his hat," Victoria Montgomery said. "If he was wearing it, I think he was borrowing the hat because he likes to wear hats."
Victoria Montgomery said she didn't know if her son normally carried a knife, or how he came to be the one that stabbed Denver. He has admitted to family members that he was responsible, she said.
"This is just something that's really hard to handle," she said. "It's like a bizarre dream. I know Michael didn't want this to happen, and we are all torn up inside for the other family. It just breaks my heart."

Ryan Vogelsong struck out a career-best nine batters in another strong post-season performance as the San Francisco Giants forced a decisive Game 7 in the National League Championship Series with a 6-1 victory over the St Louis Cardinals on Sunday.
Marco Scutaro hit a two-run double and Buster Posey drove in his first run of the series with a ground-out in the first inning as San Francisco struck early to support Vogelsong.
San Francisco's Matt Cain and St Louis' Kyle Lohse were set to pitch yesterday in a rematch of Game 3, won by the Cardinals. There was a forecast of rain in the Bay Area during the day.
"This place is going to be loud, I can tell you that," Vogelsong said.
The wild-card Cardinals sure seem to like the all-or-nothing route this month, while San Francisco thrive playing from behind.
Five games with their year on the line, five wins for these gutsy Giants this post-season, it comes down to one game for the past two World Series champions to get back, with the Detroit Tigers waiting.
Pitching to chants of "Vogey, Vogey" from the sellout crowd of 43,070 at AT&T Park, the right-hander did not allow a hit until Daniel Descalso's broken-bat single to center with two outs in the fifth inning. Vogelsong struck out the side in the first and had already fanned five through two innings.
Scutaro had no chance for a collision with Matt Holliday this time. In their first game back at AT&T Park since Holliday took out the second baseman with a hard slide in Game 2, Holliday was scratched about an hour before first pitch because of tightness in his lower back, with Allen Craig replaced him in left-field.
It hardly mattered the way Vogelsong pitched.
The Cardinals managed their only run on Craig's two-out single in the sixth. St Louis had gone 15 innings without scoring after left-hander Barry Zito won 5-0 on Friday in Game 5.
"I just tried to do really the same thing he did, come out and set the tone early for us," Vogelsong said.
Vogelsong had his second stellar seven-inning outing against the Cardinals in a week, allowing four hits and one run in seven innings. He walked one in a 102-pitch performance and lowered his post-season ERA — all this year — to 1.42.
"I just believe that it's my time," Vogelsong said.
After taking a 3-1 lead back home at Busch Stadium, Mike Matheny's Cardinals would have to find some offense in a hurry if they want to get back to the World Series.
The Cards might just prefer close calls — just like last year.
They won the National League's second wild card on the second-to-last day of the regular season, then won at Atlanta to reach the Division Series. The Cardinals rallied from a 6-0 deficit with a four-run ninth inning to stun the Washington Nationals 9-7 in Game 5 of that series.
The Giants got to St Louis ace Chris Carpenter again. The Cards most successful post-season pitcher with 10 victories looked out of sync for the second straight start — and he left with a nearly identical line as in his 7-1 Game 2 loss on Monday last week, down to the hits, earned runs, unearned runs and innings.
Carpenter was done in by one big inning this time, too. He allowed six hits and five runs, two earned, in four innings.
Vogelsong reached on shortstop Pete Kozma's fielding error in the second, scoring Brandon Belt after he led off the inning with a triple. Scutaro came up two batters later and doubled home two more runs.


text: The China Golf Association (CGA) and its provinces recently took an important step in this regard, adopting the USGA Handicap System and its uniform process for determining USGA Course Rating and Slope Rating, which are used to calculate a Handicap Index. In late September, leaders from the USGA's Handicapping and Course Rating department traveled to China to celebrate a monumental occasion in global course-rating standards. For the first time, the USGA presented the CGA with a Chinese translation of its Course Rating Guide.In addition to the obvious benefits of providing a more complete understanding of the Course Rating Guide, the meeting also gave China's provinces a unified and comprehensive method of course rating.The meeting with the CGA took place at the Tian'an Holiday Golf Club in Beijing. Representing the USGA were Steve Edmondson, managing director of Handicapping, Course Rating and GHIN; Mary Kate Kemp, director of Handicap and Course Rating Administration; and Scott Hovde, assistant director of Handicap and Course Rating Administration. Edmondson and Zhang Xiao Ning, the secretary general of the CGA, introduced the formal relationship between the USGA and CGA for both handicapping and course rating to the 40-plus attendees, which comprised a mix of CGA and regional golf association employees and volunteers representing China's nine provinces.The education portion of the three-day workshop started with an overview of the USGA Handicap System. The final two days focused on the training and implementation of the USGA Course Rating System."We started the group indoors to get them up to speed on the tables and adjustments and how the whole system works," said Hovde. "Then we went outside and rated a number of holes as a group and then independently to compare results. It was a statement that the CGA is putting in the time and effort to get this started."The adoption process was a six-month endeavor that began with a stateside visit from the CGA to the USGA in early May. The initial visit introduced CGA employees to concepts, training material and an implementation strategy, but a proactive educational session within China was the final step in ensuring a nationwide adoption. The representatives are now responsible for educating other staff members and volunteers to further the flow of information as the system takes newsContent. Although Chinese was not the first translated version of the USGA Course Rating Guide – Japanese, Italian and German versions already exist, among others – bringing it to the world's most populous country is a crucial step in establishing global consistency in handicapping and course rating.

Posters printed by Allen Show Prints
operated by Irving Willis Allen, Beverly, Massachusetts
I was surprised to see on census records that my Mom's cousin, Erving / Irving Willis Allen (1859 - 1920) was a publisher in Beverly, Massachusetts. in the 1888 Town Directory he is listed as the publisher of the Beverly Citizen newspaper. According to the Beverly Historical Society he owned and published the Beverly Citizen from about 1882 to January 1892. He sold the paper to Charles A. King. In 1897 he started the Allen Job Print at 58 Railroad Avenue, and by by the 1910 census he is listed as the house printer at "Allen Show Prints" at 91 Rantoul Street in Beverly. There were no advertisements in the Beverly City Directories. His second wife is listed as a widow in the 1930 census.
I haven't been able to find much on the Allen Show Print business. The American Antiquarian Society library in Worcester, Massachusetts has a collection of show prints and vaudeville posters, but not much in their collections after 1900. They specialize in ephemera only from the founding of our country up through the 1800s. The Allen Show Prints printed posters for vaudeville acts, traveling circuses, plays and other theatrical events. Most of these apparently did not survive, and so the few I've seen online are extremely rare. That is the nature of ephemera!
These two posters above advertised the Murdock Brothers in the 1920s or 30s. I've seen it for sale at e-Bay online, and it is very collectible as a piece of Black American History. I've seen references to the "Murdock Brothers Medicine Show" in old newspapers. A traveling Medicine Show was usually sponsored by a patent medicine company, and between acts they would peddle the bottles of medicine. This eventually developed into a respectable vaudeville act that traveled across the country.
Most of the vaudeville art I've seen is garish and brightly colored, but it seems to have worked for it's audience. Before movies this was the most popular form of entertainment in the United States. These types of posters were probably spread all over buildings and signs, and then ripped down and replaced when the new acts came to town. This makes any surviving show prints very rare.
If anyone has any information on how to research vaudeville show prints, or information on Erving Willis Allen and his Allen Show Prints business in Beverly, Massachusetts, please leave me a comment at this blog post or contact me at email@example.com I would love to find out more about this fascinating business! No living member of the Allen family has any memory of this cousin or this business.
Erving / Irving Willis Allen was born 11 March 1859 at Thompson's Island, Essex, Massachusetts and died 6 November 1920 in Beverly, Massachusetts; married first on 30 March 1881 in Beverly to Grace Anna Trefrey, daughter of William Edward Trefrey and Joanna Peirce. She was born 12 March 1860 in Beverly, and died 9 September 1882 in Beverly. One child, Archer Irving Allen, born 1882. He married second on 14 January 1885 in Beverly to Mabel Griffin, daughter of Charles Carroll Griffin and Ora Eliza Dennis. She was born in September 1861 in Massachusetts. One child, Heman Kenneth Allen, born 1885.
I'll start this family tree with my 3x great grandparents, who lived in Essex, Massachusetts:
Joseph Allen (1801-1894) m. Orpha Andrews
Humphrey Choate Allen (1825 - 1881) Joseph Gilman Allen (1830-1908) m Sarah Mears
Erving Willis Allen Joseph Elmer Allen (1870 - 1932) m. Carrie Batchelder
Stanley Elmer Allen (1904 - 1982) m Gertrude Hitchings
