  10. don't miss the collection of sound archives archives Institute Of Jazz Studies John Cotton Dana Library Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey Newark, New Jersey Preserving the Benny Carter and Benny Goodman Collections A Project funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation In 2009, The Institute of Jazz Studies received a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to digitize two of its most significant bodies of sound recordings: the Benny Carter and Benny Goodman Collections. The Carter Collection comprises Carter's personal archive and contains many unique performances, interviews, and documentation of events in Carter's professional life. Many of these tapes and discs were donated by Carter to the Institute during his lifetime, and the remainder were donated by his wife, Hilma, shortly after Carter's death in 2003. The Collection consists of 225 cassettes; 159 reel-to-reel tapes (7- and 10-inch); and 184 lacquer discs totaling approximately 742 hours of playing time. The recordings range from the 1930s to the 1990s and include many unissued live performances and studio recordings, soundtracks of his film and television work, and interviews. The Goodman Collection consists entirely of reel-to-reel tapes compiled by Goodman biographer/discographer D. Russell Connor over four decades and donated by him to IJS in 2006. It represents the most complete collection of Goodman recordings anywhere. As a friend and confidant to Goodman, Connor had access to the clarinetist's personal archive, as well as those of many Goodman researchers and collectors worldwide. The unissued or rare recordings selected for digitization as part of this project total approximately 404 hours. In June 2011, the digitization process was completed, and the collections were made available to researchers at the Institute. These recordings will provide new insights into the careers of two of jazz's greatest instrumentalists and bandleaders. Beyond the obvious benefits to jazz scholars, Carter's and Goodman's careers intersected many other important figures and traversed many varied areas of American culture, including race relations, the film industry, the recording studios, radio and television, the academy, and even international diplomacy. Accordingly, this material will serve as a prime resource for a wide range of specialists in many fields.

  11. fine fine game. it would have been a travesty to have these fine defensive efforts marred by cheap overtime touchdowns.
  12. http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news?slug=dw-wetzel_penn_state_child_sex_case_110511 By Dan Wetzel, Yahoo! Sports5 hours, 20 minutes ago Printable View Return to Original tweet 194 EmailPrintAt approximately 9:30 p.m. on March 1, 2002, a Penn State graduate assistant entered what should have been an empty football locker room. He was surprised to hear the showers running and noises he thought sounded like sexual activity, according to a Pennsylvania grand jury “finding of fact” released Saturday. When he looked in the shower he saw what he estimated to be a 10-year-old boy, hands pressed up against the wall, “being subjected to anal intercourse,” by Jerry Sandusky, then 58 and Penn State’s former defensive coordinator. The grad assistant said both the boy and the coach saw him before he fled to his office where, distraught and stunned, the grad assistant telephoned his father, who instructed his son to flee the building. The next day, a Saturday, the grad assistant went to the home of head coach Joe Paterno and told him what he had seen. The day after that, Paterno called Penn State athletic director Tim Curley to his home to report that the grad assistant had told him he had witnessed “Jerry Sandusky in the Lasch Building showers fondling or doing something of a sexual nature to a young boy.” A week-and-a-half later, according to the grand jury report, the grad assistant was called to a meeting with Curley and Gary Schultz, the school’s senior vice president for finance and business, where he retold his story. Sandusky had retired from the Penn State program in 1999, a surprise to many who saw him as a possible successor to Paterno. He instead dedicated himself to “Second Mile,” a group home he founded in 1977 dedicated to helping troubled boys. He often brought troubled kids through the Penn State facilities, including the famed Beaver Stadium, bought them gifts and took them to sporting events. Curley did not notify university police or have the graduate assistant further questioned involving the incident. No other legal or university entity investigated the case. Merely alerting police would’ve been significant since they investigated Sandusky in 1998 for “incidents with children in football building showers.” Curley never asked for a background check on Sandusky. Curley instead took it upon himself to inform the director of “Second Mile” about the charge, although it didn’t concern potential sodomy of a minor. Curley told the grand jury he was merely told that Sandusky was “horsing around” with the boy. The grand jury did not find that credible in part because Schultz said he had gotten the impression “Sandusky might have inappropriately grabbed the young boys’ genitals while wrestling around.” Both Curley and Schultz are charged with perjury for claiming the grad assistant didn’t inform them of “sexual activity.” Curley later met with Sandusky and told him he was no longer allowed to bring children onto the Penn State campus. He forwarded the report on to university president Graham Spanier, who approved of Sandusky’s ban from bringing children onto campus and himself never reported the incident to police. On the base of the grand jury findings Sandusky was arrested Saturday morning and charged with seven counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse; eight counts of corruption of minors, eight counts of endangering the welfare of a child, seven counts of indecent assault and other offenses. He was released Saturday on $100,000 bail. Pennsylvania’s attorney general cited incidents involving Sandusky that ran from 1994 until 2009, including the above act. [Grand jury findings: Read the press release] Curley and Schultz are expected to turn themselves in to authorities on Monday. The attorneys for both men released statements proclaiming their innocence. “This is a case about a sexual predator who used his position within the university and community to repeatedly prey on young boys,” attorney general Linda Kelly said. “It is also a case about high-ranking university officials who allegedly failed to report the sexual assault of a young boy after the information was brought to their attention, and later made false statements to a grand jury that was investigating a series of assaults on young boys.” It is actually even more than that, a stomach-turning 23-page grand jury report that could be the ugliest scandal in the history of college athletics. The failure of Penn State officials to call in the proper authorities potentially allowed the alleged sexual predator to live free for an additional nine-and-a-half years. This case demands answers to deep and troubling questions right up the chain of command at Penn State, including Spanier and the legendary Paterno. Instead, thus far, all we’ve gotten is a pathetic statement from Spanier who quite incredibly deemed Sandusky’s charges as merely “troubling” (and said little more) and then expressed continued support for Curley and Schultz. “The allegations about a former coach are troubling, and it is appropriate that they be investigated thoroughly,” the statement read. “Protecting children requires the utmost vigilance … I wish to say that Tim Curley and Gary Schultz have my unconditional support.” Really, that’s it? That’s what the guy who is running Penn State has to say? That’s all he thought was appropriate? Curley and Schultz need to be suspended immediately. Some actual adult in Pennsylvania needs to step in and sit Spanier down also and not merely for issuing a statement that expressed no concern for the victims, no shock at the charges, some of which occurred on his campus, and little concern about crimes this despicable. More importantly, Spanier needs to be immediately removed from an authority position since his culpability is tied to Curley. After all, Spanier both knew of the allegations against Sandusky and approved of Curley’s handling of the case. That includes an act almost unfathomable in its insensitivity. According to the attorney general, no one at Penn State ever tried to find the boy. At worst, he was raped in a shower. At best, according to testimony that law enforcement finds non-credible, he was either “horsing around” with or being “inappropriately grabbed” by an old man in an empty locker room. Yet no one thought they should go find the kid so he and his family could get proper help or further protection. Not even the university president? “Despite a powerful eyewitness statement about the sexual assault of a child, this incident was not reported to any law enforcement or child protective agency, as required by Pennsylvania law,” said Kelly, the attorney general. “Additionally, there is no indication that anyone from the university ever attempted to learn the identity of the child.” How? How could all these people of power, people of education, people of authority simply look the other way? And how could Graham Spanier maintain a level of arrogance to release that statement on this day? There can simply be no tolerance, no leniency, no looking the other way with any charge involving an adult and a child. None. There isn’t a gray area here, not only in the letter of the law, but in the spirit of any semblance of ethical conduct. The legal process will and should be allowed to play out and determine the guilt and innocence of all involved. The accused have the right to a proper defense in a court of law. In a broader sense, however, an immediate, thorough and limitless investigation must be launched by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to find out why this wasn’t turned over to the proper authorities. This isn’t just about what it is and isn’t a crime, it’s about what is and isn’t right. [Related: Sandusky, others charged in child sex case] The chief question is this: If Curley, Schultz and Spanier believed it was no longer appropriate to allow Sandusky to bring children onto the Penn State campus – an act that suggests some concern over his behavior – how could they possibly believe his actions didn’t warrant a full police investigation? And then there is the conduct of Paterno, the 84-year-old legend. He is beloved for being the winningest coach in college football history and for running a program for more than five decades that never ran afoul of NCAA statutes. While he may have committed no crime, he must fully explain the actions he took after hearing such an unspeakable allegation. Did he really listen to this story and think merely telling the AD was enough? Why did he wait a day to summon Curley to his home? Wouldn’t a charge like this take precedent over pretty much everything? Why didn’t he personally look into it further? This is something that allegedly happened in his locker room, by a man he both coached and employed as a trusted assistant for a combined 33 years? Technically Paterno may have done the right thing, reporting the allegation to his superior, but he isn’t just some middle manager. Tim Curley worked for Joe Paterno more than Joe Paterno worked for Tim Curley. He could’ve called in the police himself. Paterno was 75 at the time and his advancing age and the limits of his participation in the program are well known. That simply can’t be used as an excuse. Positions of authority come with great responsibility and advancing age does not excuse someone of merely accepting the plaudits of success while avoiding the more difficult duties of the position. Paterno may very well have appropriate answers to all of the above questions and more. He needs to give them. Four-hundred-plus victories shouldn’t absolve anyone from being accountable in a case such as this. This is a scandal that goes beyond nearly anything college athletics has ever witnessed. These are the most horrific charges that can be made, the worst of the worst kind of crime that haunts victims forever. The time for hiding behind statements and closed doors and parsed explanations from so-called leaders are over. This demands real investigation conducted by real adults, something that’s at least eight years and who knows how many unnecessary victims overdue. Sooners win but lose WR Broyles for year
  13. i've some catching up to do today. before keg of nails opens with their magnificent unaged founders breakfast stout, to warm up, i'm going to enjoy a 22 ounce bottle of guinness extra. international stout day was to have been celebrated november 3. it's well nigh time to load up the mp3 player with real music, not the corporate freeze dry spew you folks call music, find an empty stool, kick back and check out.<br style="color: rgb(28, 40, 55); font-family: arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; background-color: rgb(250, 251, 252); "> < http://mountain.hopp...onal-stout-day/ If you're into social media these days, there is a modestly good chance you heard of IPA Day back in August. But you don't need to wait another 10 months to celebrate the glory of craft beer and boast about it on your twitter feed. November 3rd has officially been proclaimed International Stout Day! It's been announced by founder Erin Peters (The Beer Goddess), who decided that November 3rd is the perfect time of year to enjoy some crisp autumn air. It's also in time for pumpkin pie season. It's also my birthday. She probably didn't know that, but it's appreciated all the same. I was definitely going to drink a stout anyway. To celebrate, brewers and bars and restaurants and homes across the social media world will participate by offering some of that black stuff. You may have, by now, noticed some of your favorite establishments post event/special tappings on their twitter and/or facebook pages. If not, you can always check out the events page of the Stout Day website (above). I don't want to bother too much with the history of such a beloved style, as any beerian worth a pint knows the story; so for the unenlightened, suffice to say that a dark roasty beer style emerged in England in the 1700′s called Porter. "Stout" in that time only connotated a beer's strength (i.e., "stout porter" > "porter"), but eventually morphed into it's own style. Think of it as Porter's bigger brother. But then in the 1800′s, Stouts were being sent to the Russian Czar, who had a particular taste for the stuff. In order to survive the trip from Britain to Moscow, the beer needed to be bigger to prevent expiration–and the Russian Imperial Stout is born. no, it's NOT like Guinness And it's pretty much caught on fire from then on. Today, there are a plethora of Stout styles to choose from. Frankly, nowadays you'd be hard pressed to find a straight-up regular stout. Besides classic normal Stout, you've got: Dry StoutForeign StoutOatmeal StoutImperial StoutMilk StoutWheat StoutFruit StoutOyster StoutTo support International Stout Day, Stout lovers worldwide can visit the official Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/stoutday, follow Stout Day on Twitter @stoutday or register at www.StoutDay.com.

  16. we jazz fans do that all the time, with more corpses than 26. http://www.newser.com/story/132561/historian-lived-with-26-female-corpses.html (NEWSER) – Somewhere along the way, Russian historian Anatoly Moskvin's interest in cemeteries went from academic to twisted. Police probing grave desecrations found the corpses of 26 women in the 45-year-old researcher's apartment, the Telegraph reports. The skeletal remains had been dressed up in new clothes. Moskvin was in the process of writing a book about graveyards in the Volga region. He had visited some 750 of them in the course of his research, and investigators believed he plundered at least two of the cemeteries in the dead of night.

  20. i found his arc trio music very exciting and promising and those records of miniatures for ecm brilliant. to me, chick never fulfilled the promise of what i thought i saw in those early days. pursuit of the dollar may have had something to do with that. for whatever reason he seems to have run out of creative gas, or will, or just dropped the ball.

  22. the phono input, indeed, and it sonically blows away the phono inputs/outputs of 25 year younger pioneer models. there is a dimension and presence to the vinyls my panasonic vsx 9800 has been lacking. it's like i'm hearing many recordings for the first time. that's the best part of this receiver.
