As racial rancor is clearly intensifying, not subsiding, across the nation, there is no way to avoid an obvious and painful question raised by the photograph of Darnell Ray Lewis Jr. accompanying this past week's stories about his three-day trial.
He is shown flashing a big happy smile while previously in custody for his savage attack on a petite and pretty young Allentown woman in 2011. He bashed her in the mouth, breaking some of her teeth, and shot her because she balked when he was trying to rob her.
The painful question is this: What would have happened if the racial profiles of attacker and victim had been reversed?
What sort of uproar would have ensued if Lewis were white and his victim was a black woman — and then the attacker displayed that big, mocking, arrogant smile, except when he glared at the victim in court, apparently trying to intimidate her? How many angry activists would swarm into the Lehigh Valley, led by Al Sharpton, to demand severe retribution?

No matter what your race is, you cannot answer honestly without betraying a manifest truth: There is a double standard when it comes to outrage over conflicts involving parties of different races.
Lewis, 21, is black and his victim, Barbara Hausknecht, 19, is a blue-eyed white who made the mistake of letting him see her cashing her paycheck while shopping at the Walmart store in Whitehall Township.
He followed her after she left the store and when she and a friend reached an area with fewer people around, he attacked, hitting her in the mouth and shooting her in the back, resulting in severe internal injuries that still cause her terrible pain.
Lewis accused Hausknecht of using the N-word when he attacked her, apparently believing that justified what he did, but other testimony contradicted his claim. He was convicted of attempted homicide, aggravated assault, robbery, etc.
In 2011, before I knew who the attacker was, and certainly before I knew he was black, I compared him to a "rabid dog." Now, if I used that term in connection with Lewis, I am certain I'd be accused of bigotry.
However, I have spent my entire life railing against racism.
As a boy, I thought de facto segregation was wrong when I saw the way blacks had to live in Buffalo. I was stunned by the way black recruits were treated at the Navy's World War II boot camp in San Diego. (My father was a swimming instructor there, and I remember how sick he looked when other instructors thought it was hilarious to mistreat naked black men at the pool.)
When I first visited Dixie, I saw drinking fountains side-by-side, one nice and the other filthy and dilapidated, with signs saying the nice one was for whites only. Later, in the military in Louisiana, I was horrified by even worse forms of racism.
As a journalist, some of my most anxious moments (apart from the time I got on the wrong side of some organized crime figures) came when I antagonized the Ku Klux Klan, resulting in what appeared to be homicidal threats. I also have delved into positive topics, ignored by schools and other journalists, such as the American Revolution's final deciding battle, forcing the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown. (It involved a gallant charge by a rarely recognized black regiment.)
On the other hand, I've decried the toleration of the "kill whitey" lyrics of rap musicians and the use of the N-word by black entertainers while its use by whites is forbidden. (Would blacks accept free speech restrictions involving terms that only whites were allowed to use?)
In view of the Trayvon Martin case and President Obama's decision to let Al Sharpton pull his verbal strings, racial rancor is worse than ever. The gist of many outbursts seems to be that it is wrong for anyone who is not black to defend himself or herself against anyone who is black.
Along those lines, ask yourself another question about the 2011 Walmart episode. What if that blue-eyed young woman had been armed and was thus able to defend herself against Lewis?
You know the answer. We'd have Sharpton and his followers demanding her scalp while holding up pictures of Lewis when he was an innocent-looking 12-year-old. White attacks and racial profiling aimed at blacks must stop, they'd bellow.
That brings us to the most painful part of today's discussion.
Mainstream news media generally avoid any mention of a distressing ratio — black on white crime as compared to white on black crime.
Rabid right-wing outfits like the New Century Foundation are happy to report that in recent years, blacks committed violent crimes against whites 39 times as often as the converse, and in the case of robbery or forcible rape, the ratio is even more lopsided. (I contacted the U.S. Department of Justice to get up-to-date statistics, but the people there never got back to me.)
If I were a black man concerned about racial profiling, I'd direct most of my rage at the members of my own race who are responsible for those appalling statistics.
Instead of attacking whites who think there's a need to defend themselves, I'd try to lead an angry chorus of demands to wipe that obscene smile off the face of a vicious thug like Darnell Ray Lewis Jr.

Register-Herald Reporter
Alderson Fire Department confirmed that a Monroe County home is a total loss after a fire started in the kitchen Thursday night.
Lt. Matt Butler said Alderson, Clintonville and Tri-County fire departments responded to the call at 11:15 p.m.
When crews arrived, the fire was widespread in the attic with heavy smoke.
Butler said there were no injuries or entrapment, but the home was a total loss.
He said the fire was probably electrical and most likely started in the kitchen area above the attic.
Crews cleared the scene after three hours and Butler said the residents are staying with relatives.

India is a vast country with an abundance of appealing attractions -- mountains, desert, beaches, nature, temples, and history -- scattered from one side of its soil to the other. Therefore, planning an India vacation requires considerable thought as to the top places to visit.
There are so many different things see and do, it's easy to want to fit as much as possible into one trip. However, traveling in India can be exhausting, particularly with the culture shock to deal with as well, and many people find themselves wishing for more relaxation time. That's why it's common for people to end up spending months at a time roaming around and exploring the country.
Of course, not everyone can afford to take months off work to travel. No one likes to waste valuable vacation time traveling between places either. Therefore, if you only have a limited time in India, it's a good idea to choose one region and focus on its highlights.
Fortunately, each region usually offers a range of different sights. For example, one of India's most popular tourist circuits, the Golden Triangle, covers Delhi, the Taj Mahal in Agra, and Jaipur in the Rajasthan desert. Those who also want to spend time amongst nature can take a short detour and visit Ranthambore National Park, also in Rajasthan.
As well as backwaters, Kerala has some wonderful clean beaches, ancient temple complexes, and national parks that are home to large herds of elephants.
For a dose of spirituality and history, Varanasi is one city that's high on visitors' lists. Some important historical and architectural sites such as the Khajuraho erotic temples, and national parks are also not too far away from there.
Browse the following pages for some of the highlights that India has to offer and where to find them.

New site launches for those seeking professional counseling
We are very pleased to announce the launch of our latest client's website, Balanced Professional Counseling Services. Opting for clean lines and specific imagery, the site is meant to allow for an ever-growing expansion of content through a dedicated blog, associated social media, via Facebook and Twitter, and an attachment to an adjoining podcast. Chris McDuffie, LPC, has been working in the mental health and social services field since 2003 and became fully licensed in the state of Georgia as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in 2009. He currently is an adjunct professor of Psychology at Shorter University and also works for a behavioral hospital.
Balanced Professional Counseling Services is aptly named, too. Chris believes in a balanced approach to work and life and will help those struggling to find that inner balance within their own lives. AJS Productions was pleased to have been selected as the business partner for this endeavor and we anxiously look forward to seeing the content portions of this site continue to grow over the years.
If you are looking for someone to talk to about challenges in your life, we would like to encourage you to give Chris a call today.

Is your website designed to maximize your SEO?
First, let's start with, what is SEO? Search Engine Optimization ("SEO") has, as it's goal, a focus on maximizing the visibility of your website on a given search engine's un-paid search results. Said another way, let's say you are looking for a local electrician to do some work around your home. Most web users (and today, who isn't?) will pull up their internet browser, go to a search engine they prefer (Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.) and type the words: residential electrician in (city name). As soon as you hit enter, a list of websites will show up and there will likely be page after page of companies and web pages that contain the words "residential", "electrician" and your city's name. The first few are the "paid" results and can be bought by businesses to always be at the top — these are often flagged with a different color or a highlight. The rest of the results are displayed based on an algorithmic formula that each search engine utilizes to try to put the best results first.
Generally speaking, the earlier, or higher on the displayed list of results, the more frequently that site is visited and referenced by internet users. And, like a self-fulfilling prophecy, the more visitors that click on your site, the better chance your site stays high on (or climbs) the list of future search results. SEO can target all kinds of searches, such as a content search, image search, local search, academic search, news search or industry-specific search.
At AJS Productions, our strategy is to know how those search engines work, understand the terms people like to use when searching for a website (such as actual key words, terms and phrases) and to optimize the content on our client's website. Optimizing each web page of a given website may include editing its content, HTML and other coding, meta tags and removing any inhibitors to the indexing activities used by search engines. To aid in building the strength of our client's web pages, we also leverage many typical social media elements, like Facebook and Twitter, to ensure each site is referenced in multiple locations, contains both inbound and back links and creates a web of multiple paths to drive users to the customer's online site.
The effort to build SEO isn't a one-time activity. Designing a site with SEO strategies in mind is more than just writing content with key words; it requires constant vigilance and updated content to ensure the search engine crawlers continue to find relevance to the website. Refreshing pages, adding new content, proper image tagging, adding URL links that cross-reference relevant sections of the website are a few activities that need to be employed continually to ensure staying relevant on search engine results.
Our proven methodologies have been employed on many of our sites and continue to drive revenue to our clients' businesses. If you feel your business could benefit from a consultation with us, we would be happy schedule a time to meet with you and see how we might be able to optimize your current site. And, if you have yet to implement your own internet marketing and advertising strategies, understand that many development houses employ boilerplate design templates, stock language and work from a one-size-fits-all approach.
Our business model is exactly the opposite!
We utilize best practices website development and design and customize our offerings for each of our clients. We take the time to learn your business and build each solution from scratch to ensure we not only have the best site possible for the investment, but also provides the tactics and strategies necessary to maximize search engine optimization.
It's never too late to be what you might have been
We take the time to get to know our clients and their business. Through several early joint application design ("JAD") sessions, we spend time identifying your objectives and clearly defining functional requirements, while helping you to understand how to maximize an online presence, driving clients to your door. We strive to deliver the quality and complexity of much larger design firms, but with the small-to-medium business budget in mind.
To us, it is far more important to be your partner, working together to grow your business, than to take a detached approach where you become just another work order number. We take pride in knowing that we spend face time with our clients whenever possible to make sure they know we feel a personal investment in their web success.
Come visit our site and see why AJS Productions might be the website development and production company you've been looking for.

Launch of Coalition to Prevent the Misuse of Alcohol site
Being involved in website design puts us in contact with so many different businesses and organizations and we could not be happier with our depth and breadth of capabilities to serve each of those unique clients. Beyond the sites themselves, though, our involvement has grown with some of these organizations outside of the bounds of simple client-consultant roles. Such is the case with the Coalition to Prevent the Misuse of Alcohol.
When we first were contacted by Scott Sherwin, Project Coordinator for CPMA, it was actually a simple invite to bring a "media" person onboard to be part of their Community Action Team. Over the weeks and months of serving to aid the mission to prevent early onset alcohol use in minors, reduce ease of access to alcohol by minors and prevent binge drinking for those 21 and older, it became clear that we needed to leverage every aspect of the internet and social media.
It is our pleasure to announce the latest site to lauch from AJS Productions — www.preventalcoholmisuse.com. This project required the coordination of several team members and a time-line meant to coincide with the launch of their media campaign entitled, Rethink the Drink.org. Three PSAs were shot (all of which can be seen on the website), a billboard and newspaper campaign went up and the website all launched on December 09, 2012. In fact, one of the PSAs will be shown in the local movie theatre before every showing of every film for the next few months.
And, our involvement with this worthy endeavor will now move into a couple of areas: the ongoing development of the Youth Action Team section of the website and the design and launch of a dedicated website for Rethink the Drink.org. In a way, by being a part of our local community and wanting to help prevent the misuse of alcohol by both minors and college students, an opportunity to leverage our skill set became apparent to both the client and us.
We want to also point out that this initiative is not anti-alcohol. In fact, it is about the proper and legal use of alcohol! Many of our developers and project managers at AJS Productions have minor children and whenever we hear of a tragedy involving the misuse of alcohol, it reinforces our determination to utilize the internet and social media to help teach and educate both parents and youth alike.
Please take a moment to share this with those friends and family members you know with children, if for no other reason but to maybe get someone to rethink before they drink — or allow their children to drink. You don't have to be looking for a website developer to share this message. It really does apply to almost everyone.
And, of course, if you are affiliated with a non-profit, a civic organization or a small-to-medium business, consider reaching out to AJS Productions for a free consultation to determine if we might be the website development house you've been looking for to breathe new life into the mission of your business or organization. It is our pleasure to continue to serve, not only our clients, but also our community.

A 20+ year business greets social media with inaugural website
AJS Productions is proud to announce the launch of a website for a another small business in NW Georgia. Hardwood Flooring by Flores has been in existence for over 20 years and have relied solely on word-of-mouth for their business growth. During economic upturns, this mode of marketing has been more than sufficient to supply a steady line of customers to their door. However, since the economic downturn that hit the housing marking in late 2008 and the following collapse in 2009, business has been thin.
After riding it out for the last three years, they knew it was time to embrace social media. When we first met with the owners, we wanted to reflect the quality of workmanship inherent to every job taken by Hardwood Floors by Flooring. Pictures are the key and so we built the site with the ability to have the owners post new albums in their gallery. This gives them the flexibility to show each of their latest jobs from start to finish without crowding the home page of the site.
They also know how important social media has become in the last few years, but didn't want to spend all of their business hours keeping those outlets updated. By partnering with us, we were able to give them a one-button solution to updating a business Facebook page, their Twitter account, the news section of their website, while also providing a headline update to their home page of their website. This allows them to spend the bulk of their time doing what they do best — custom flooring and tiling solutions for home and business.
If you are looking for someone to transform your home or office, we want to encourage you to contact Hardwood Flooring by Flores today. And, if you are ready to take the leap into social media with your small-to-medium business, why not get in touch with us today?

A new business has more than a website to consider
AJS Productions has been in discussion for several weeks with a new business venture planning to launch in the Atlanta metropolitan area within the next few months. This new firm has several practice areas and are combining those strengths under one new brand.
Real estate, investment capital, infrastructure, site services, HR and personnel have been at the top of their priorities list and, understandably, leaves them with little time for anything else, including thoughts about their online and social media presence. However, they recognized that it was important to their success to get a brand and a site together to coincide with their opening. Our project management experience along with expertise in branding and logo design are helping to take that load off of their plate. Through a series of virtual meetings, we have been able to develop a logo and design elements that reflect their business and will allow us to begin the next phase of development toward the launch of their website.
There are web companies who can use basic templates and self-help sites to build a website, but there are far fewer web development firms that can provide custom designs, logo creation, branding strategies, and seamless integration with social media all with project management and consultative skill sets. When looking for a firm that could be entrusted with all of these activities, this new company wanted a partner they could trust. They chose AJS Productions.
If you are not getting the results you wanted with your website or have no idea how to utilize social media, maybe it's time to get in touch with us. We can assist you with the entire life-cycle of your online presence. We provide consultation, project management, design, build, integration and launch all in one development house.
One final word: watch for the launch of one of newest client's in the coming days, Hardwood Flooring by Flores, a custom hardwood and tile installer who has been in business for 22 years and decided it was time to embrace the digital era. After showing them our portfolio and going through our processes, they knew they had found the developer they wanted to entrust with such a major step forward. We are so grateful to them for giving us this opportunity and are looking forward to their launch very soon.

The King's Knit-Wit just went live
One of our latest clients is a small startup that has been in its brick-and-mortar store for just four months. In a world of mass merchants and big-box stores, The King's Knit-Wit chose to find an unfilled niche and capitalize on it. We all know the economy has taken it on the chin for just about the last four years and many are having to change not only their spending habits, but also how to get more for less.
In our own corner of the world, we run into so many family's who have begun to grow larger and larger vegetable gardens to off-set the rising cost of fresh vegetables. Similarly, some of the more archaic professions are starting to make a resurgence, like canning, sewing and knitting.
This last area is where our latest client has focused the bulk of their business — knitting. The King's Knit-Wit provides something for everyone interested in knitting, from the novice to the seasoned expert. Providing raw wools, tools, patterns and even live training, this mom-and-pop operation has seen knitters as young as 8th graders to folks as old as 80 come through their shop.
They pride themselves on always having a fresh pot of coffee or hot tea ready and plenty of space to sit down and enjoy learning and practicing this age-old craft. Many of their patrons are learning they can make clothing for a fraction of the price at retail stores, while gaining the added knowledge that their creation is a one-of-a-kind.
Because of their business model and product focus, we chose to embrace a look and feel that harkens back to the Renaissance drawings and images of a time gone by. The client wanted a rich burgandy background with design elements that made you feel as if you had been transported to the days of Shakespeare.
If knitting is your thing or you just want to see if this might be the hobby you are looking for, swing on by their shop and say, "Hello!" And be sure to LIKE their Facebook page, follow them on Twitter, and sign-up to follow their blog. Their focus may be on a old-world craft, but their outreach is 100% focused on social media.
This website design was a nice departure for us from some of the more technical and modern sites we've been delivering. That's one of the reasons so many of our clients have enjoyed working with us; we listen to what they want, while consulting with them on how best to achieve their business results. In this way, we truly create the sense of a partnership. We've said this over and over: We do not look at our clients as simply the next work order.
If you have a business, are you doing all you can to leverage the tools available to you to market your offerings to the public at large? If not, AJS Productions may be the website designer you need. Our focus on big company solutions at the small-t0-medium business budgets will get you the results you are wanting. Contact us today and let's get started toward making your online presence a driving force for your bottom.
With AJS Productions, it's time to Go Social. Go Everywhere.
One startup, one established — two website designs
It's been longer than anyone here would have liked in putting out a new blog but we have a pretty good excuse — we've been busy. Before we had even put the finishing touches on the Bartow Live United website, we were locking in deals on two more full website designs with social media integration.
The King's Knit-Wit
The first of these two sites will be for a brand new business that recently opened it's doors in downtown Cartersville. The King's Knit-Wit is a specialty shop that caters to knitters and crocheters of all ages. But, more than just a supplier of knitting supplies and yarn, they also provide lessons for all skill levels, are a consignment shop for fine art, sell custom soft-sculpted dolls, and maintain a used book store. Waiting for when you walk in the door, there is always a cup of gourmet coffee. The shop owners, Doug Cardoza and Patrick Kincaid, are avid art lovers, actors, and collectors. They are also both certified teachers who have decided to call Cartersville their home.
They currently have a business Facebook page but they didn't have a full-featured website and needed to leverage social media with a much wider net. After several sit-down meetings with the owners, they chose to partner with us at AJS Productions to make that need a reality. We are well underway in the development cycle and plan to have the site ready for launch by late June or early July.
Hardwood Flooring by Flores
The second site we have recently inked is for a long-standing independent hardwood flooring installation business. The family owned enterprise has been installing hardwood floors in residential and commercial locations for many years all throughout North Georgia. But hardwood flooring installation is not their only area of expertise. They can install custom tiling, laminates and carpeting. They even have strategic partnerships with suppliers in North Georgia to be able to fulfill a job bid from start to finish.
Their one drawback during these many years has been the complete lack of an online presence of any kind. Not only do they lack a website, they also have yet to embrace Facebook, Twitter or blogging. And they knew that had to change. Over the course of a couple of meetings, we were able to carve out a complete design and layout of their website, also including full integration with social media. Being small business owners, they do not have time to update multiple sites with the same content. Leveraging our technologies and processes, Hardwood Flooring by Flores knew AJS Productions was the website developer for them.

Whether you are a brand new business or an established enterprise, having and maintaining an online presence is crucial to your business's survival. Beyond a website, though, is the need today for social media tie-ins. Website Design, development and integration is our specialty. Even if you have a website and just need to figure out how to integrate it with a social media component, we can help you.
Contact us today at www.ajsproductions.com for a consultation.
Your website is up — now what?
Almost every business, from the one-person garage-based operation to the full-sized corporation with multiple offices, knows they need a website. And, since the dawn of the dot.com revolution, almost every business does. But a website isn't a replacement for marketing or sales or advertising. It is a powerful, 24/7 virtual street sign for your business, but like any street sign, it marks a destination, not the journey.
Put another way, in the real world, your street address is the 'X' on the treasure map — it marks the spot for your customers. But an X on a piece of paper devoid of any landmarks, coordinates, cities, or labels would be as useless as a menu of prices without any descriptions of the entrees themselves.
Clients don't just need to know where you are, they must know how to find you. They may look you up in the phone book. They may ask around the office or their neighborhood for suggestions. Or, they may look you up online. In all of these cases, they have a need and are trying to find you. The question is, how easy are you making it for them?
Beyond having up-to-date content, pretty graphics, cool fonts, and easy-to-navigate menus (a topic for another day), if you haven't optimized your site and aren't spreading the word, your sign will remain lit at the end of an empty street.
At AJS Productions, we leverage the best in social media integration to ensure we are helping you to get the word out to anyone looking to find you. We link your blog, your newsletter, Facebook, Twitter and your website together along with a host of other sites based on your business needs, like YouTube, Flickr and more. This makes it easier than ever to get information out to the public at large.
Yet, with all of these tools, have you done all you can to maximize your reach? Is your website address on your company letterhead and business card? Do you have links to all of your social media components clearly displayed on your website? Do all of your emails and electronic communication contain your website address in the footer?
Let's go one layer deeper.
What about your employees? Have they LIKED your business's Facebook page? Do they follow the company on Twitter? Are they subscribed to your newsletter or blog? And, most important of all, are they helping to spread the word by sharing recent posts or retweeting specials? Are they forwarding newsletters or sharing blog posts? Does everyone in your business know they are a vital and integral piece of your marketing and advertising team?
Ultimately, during each phase of developing an online presence, you increase your odds of capturing the attention of the would-be client who is desperately seeking your services. Having a website is better than just an advertisement in the phone book. Optimizing your site makes your web presence more readily found over those that aren't. Integrating with social media gives you the ability to reach out even further without incurring any financial expenses, save for the time and effort it takes to put out updates, newsletters and blog posts. And at the point of this inverted pyramid are your employees, who provide the best word-of-mouth reference to all of their friends, family members and followers with a simple click of a button.
So, are you leveraging all of the outlets available to you and your business to attract clients? Have you built and optimized your site? Have you fully embraced social media integration? Is your website listed on every advertisement, email, business card, and letterhead? And, finally, do your employees understand the critical role they play in marketing?
To help you in your quest to maximize your reach, AJS Productions can consult with you on how to take your online presence to the next level. Are you ready?

A 56-year-old Hartland man, who previously lived in Waukesha, is facing charges after he allegedly sexually assaulted a young girl inside a Waukesha home on multiple occasions in 2011.
Wayne D. Herbes was charged in on Thursday with three count of first-degree sexual assault of a child less than 13 years old. If convicted, he faces up to 180 years in prison.
According to the criminal complaint:
An 8-year-old girl was interviewed by Waukesha police officers in December 2011, where she told them Herbes had assaulted her on several occasions in the summer of 2011 inside his home in the 1300 block of East North Avenue in Waukesha.
The girl said the first incident took place while she was waiting to take a shower and Herbes touched her inappropriately. The girl told police she knew the action was wrong and backed away from him.
On another occasion, the girl was completely naked when Herbes took a picture of her. On the third occasion, the girl told police Herbes molested her.
Herbes is currently out of custody and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.

Phoebe looked dreamily out the window, her finger tapping a snare drum pattern on the counter top. Phil was involved in his lentil soup and the conversation level in the brightly lit deli had subsided to a low hum. A couple walked by the window arm in arm, singles no more. "That jazz music had a strange and wonderful effect on me," Phoebe said, "when I was real small. I remember I first noticed it when I'd be watching Shirley Temple movies and when she'd do her little tap dances, there'd be a hot Swing band playing. And that rhythm, I mean I was ten years old – when you're supposed to be out playing with your friends – and I was having real orgasms to that rhythm. The other thing that got me was this album we had, The Best of Boogie Woogie, with Cow Cow Davenport, Meade Lux Lewis's 'Honky Tonk Train,' Big Maceo's 'Chicago Breakdown.' Yeah, the more I'd listen, the more worked up I'd get."
The family was living in Teaneck by this time, Phoebe was going to school, and there were problems. "I'd always felt like I didn't fit in with the other kids very well and I didn't. I was bigger than they were and gawkier and fatter and clumsier. I knew I was the only kid in the neighborhood with kinky hair, but it took me awhile to find out I was the only Jewish kid. And then I became very ashamed of being Jewish. In fact, I became anti-Semitic. I began to read things about Hitler in Look magazine and wonder if he was right. On top of all that, I was supposed to be gifted. I remember later on I was sent to a camp for gifted children. There was a camp truck that said 'for gifted children' on the side and we all scratched it off and smeared over it with paint because we were so humiliated. Anyway, the only prestige I had among the other kids was that my name was on the trains. We lived right across the street from the railroad tracks and we used to play down there. We'd get under the bridge and it would be very orgasmic when the trains would go by. Especially for me, 'cause all the Erie Lackawanna coal cars said 'Phoebe' on 'em. The kids would say, 'Your name is on a train? Wow!' Only they didn't say Phoebe Laub, which was my real name. They said 'Phoebe Snow.'"
There was no name on the side of the station wagon. Phoebe, wrapped in a multicolored knitted shawl and looking only marginally rested from the gig in Passaic the night before, and Phil, who had tied a red scarf around his neck cowboy style, were making small talk in the back seat while guitarist Steve Burgh exchanged musical gossip with multiinstrumentalist and relief driver Warren Nichols. "Then I'm gonna be doing Bromberg's concert at Avery Fisher Hall," the stocky, mustachioed Nichols was saying. "You too? That should be fun."
Onstage Burgh and Nichols would flank Phoebe, providing colorings around her deft acoustic guitar picking while bassist Chuck Fiore and drummer Beau Segal contributed solid but understated rhythm. Burgh began the carefully structured sets in a jazz vein, plucking warm, globular chords and Wes Montgomery-like octaves out of his electric hollow body. Later, after "Poetry Man" and the bluesier material had created a mood, he would stand up and brace his feet like a bull getting ready to charge and hit a ringing intro to Neil Young's "Don't Let It Bring You Down," Phoebe's tour de force closer. He matched her riff for screaming riff through the song, following her voice into its dog-frequency range while Nichols filled in on organ.
It was Nichols's job to hop around between a bewildering array of instruments during the sets. In the course of "Harpo's Blues" alone he jumped from piano to organ to plunger-muted trombone, and on other numbers he used pedal steel guitar and conga drums as well. Amazingly, his versatility was matched only by his wholly unassuming stage presence; Phoebe remained the center of attention. She would slip on almost unobtrusively, dressed in slacks and blouse or a one-piece pullover as if she were hanging out in someone's suburban den, drop into a folding chair stage center and begin deliberately tuning her guitar. Then she'd tap out four brisk beats and the band would come on in her lilting "Either or Both."
Sometimes these hands get so
That I drop things and people
Sometimes these hands seem so
I can see them signin' autographs
It was an opening as disarmingly, breezily direct as Phoebe herself and she was singing for keeps from the first note. She would end some of the lines in a kind of bebop-tinged blue yodel that jumped its obligatory octave and then swerved and glided into what sounded like every possible melodic nook and cranny before beginning its final downward glissando. Phil's backup vocals sounded uncannily like Phoebe double-tracked and the song came off as pristinely as on her album, but with more presence and spontaneity.
Theoretically, these minutes onstage made up for the hours of driving and waiÈing. In practice, the guitar cases seemed to get heavier and heavier; exhaustion from the two shows in Passaic was catching up with everyone as they shuffled slowly into Yale's Woolsey Hall. Downstairs, deep in the subterranean chambers and passageways which connect Yale buildings underground, a dinner table had been set up and several middle-aged women were tending a hot buffet. "Look at this," Burgh enthused. "Salad, ziti ... real food." Phoebe ate salad and little else and was soon sitting in a corner, alone. Musicians, stagehands, roadies, girlfriends and groupies paraded through. A corpulent Italian arrived with several gigantic pizzas and Phoebe left to find her dressing room.

Jesse Jackson to speak at Furman University
Greenville native the Rev. Jesse Jackson will speak at Furman University on Oct. 30 as part of Greenville's "Year of Altruism" celebration. His talk, "Keeping Hope Alive: Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Movement," will be followed by a question-and-answer session.
One of America's foremost civil rights leaders, Jackson is also a two-time Democratic presidential primary candidate. The Chicago resident currently serves as president of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, an international organization that advocates for peace and justice.

Claflin gets largest donation in school history
Claflin University in Orangeburg has received the largest donation in the school's almost 150-year history.
The (Orangeburg) Times and Democrat reported the school had received a $4.3 million donation from the Sodexo Corp.
The donation has moved the historically black school closer to its capital campaign goal of $95 million. The university has now raised $71 million since the campaign began 30 months ago.
Claflin president Henry Tisdale said Sodexo's gift will help pay for a new chapel, a Molecular Science and Research Center, smart classrooms and wireless Internet.
Claflin was founded in 1869.

Definition: In magazine writing, a sidebar is simply a shorter piece that accompanies a longer article. A sidebar can be anywhere from a few senetences to whole other page, and may compliment or contrast the article it's placed with. Good ideas for sidebars include a dissenting opinion, resources for further information, a true life applicable story that goes with the article, or an experts viewpoint.
Also Known As: May be called a filler at times, although it is generally the responsibility of the original article's writer, and is part and parcel of the assignment.
Examples:I included a sidebar detailing where you can buy the items recommended in my article.

Tomato and Mozzarella Salad, also known to the initiated as Insalata Caprese, and to the even more initiated as the Tricolore (its three colors: red, white and green are the exact colors of the Italian flag), is one of the simplest and most delicious salads I know. In fact, this was my appetizer of choice in restaurants, before I became interested in food and determined to try out all sorts of different dishes. Trying out new dishes is definitely interesting, especially when I consider my proclivity for choosing the weird and the experimental. Fortunately, I manage to pawn off the food I don't like on Tim, who, by the way, picks the best thing on the menu 99% of the time. He, consistently, outpicks me, even when I don't follow the particularly adventurous route, and I, consistently, make him eat my food while stealing his. What can I say… he knows how to pick his food and I knew how to pick my man. Once in a while, I will still order Insalata Caprese, which while not adventurous or weird, is unusual in its simplicity and flavor.
2 plum tomatoes
1 mozzarella di Bufala (or mozzarella fior di latte)
fresh basil leaves
olive oil
The secret to the deliciousness of this salad lies in the quality of the used ingredients. For the best salad, pick mozzarella di Bufala (buffalo mozzarella), fragrant fresh basil and ripe yet firm plum tomatoes. Cut the mozzarella and the tomatoes into ½cm (¼in) slices and alternate them on a plate. Sprinkle with chopped basil, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with good-quality olive oil.
Adapted: from my brain, where mozzarella-tomato goodness has been ingrained forever and ever

CLEVELAND (AP) — A man convicted of enslaving a mentally disabled woman in northeast Ohio could receive life in prison when he's sentenced Tuesday in federal court in Youngstown.
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. secretary-general said Tuesday it is his "hope and belief" that his emergency mission to the Middle East will lead to an end to the fighting between Hamas and Israel "in the very near future."
New York (AFP) - Wall Street stocks Tuesday moved higher in early trade on a stream of generally solid earnings reports that suggest the US economy is continuing to pick up momentum.
By Lucia Mutikani WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. home resales hit an eight month-high in June, suggesting the housing market was gradually regaining momentum and would help the economy to stay on a higher growth path this year. The third straight month of home sales gains, reported by the National Association of Realtors on Tuesday, added to employment and retail sales data that have indicated economic growth ended the second quarter on a firmer note. The housing market stumbled in the second half of last year, raising concerns it could undermine the economy's recovery. With the labor market tightening, mortgage rates easing and the pace of house price increases moderating as supply improves, the foundation is being laid for further gains in home sales.
JERUSALEM (AP) — A rocket fired from the Gaza Strip landed near Israel's main airport Tuesday, wounding one Israeli and prompting at least two American airlines to cancel flights to Israel in a reflection of high anxiety over air travel after last week's attack on a Malaysian jet over Ukraine.
By Jonathan Thatcher and Kanupriya Kapoor JAKARTA (Reuters) - Joko "Jokowi" Widodo was declared the winner of Indonesia's presidential election on Tuesday, bringing the promise of major reforms to the world's third largest democracy. The Elections Commission, known as KPU, said the Jakarta governor had won by just over six percentage points, with 53.15 percent of the nearly 130 million votes cast on July 9. It was the closest and most bitterly fought election in Indonesia's history, pitting Jokowi against former general Prabowo Subianto, whose promise of strong leadership brought echoes of decades under autocratic rule. "This victory is a victory for all the people of Indonesia," the president-elect told hundreds of supporters gathered at a port on the outskirts of the capital Jakarta, chosen to emphasize his commitment to Indonesia's maritime potential.
OAK BROOK, Ill. (AP) — McDonald's Corp. said its profit slipped in the second quarter as sales in the U.S. continued to flag.
Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Cuba on Tuesday to expand investment in the fellow communist nation, his last stop on a four-country Latin American charm offensive. Cuba, the only one-party communist state in the Americas, began opening up its economy in 2008, but has not grown as much as hoped and could desperately use more Chinese investment. Xi for his part has made a point during his tour of reaching out to countries often shunned by US and European investors, including Venezuela and Argentina as well as Cuba. "This visit will realize the aims of boosting friendship, deepening mutual trust, expanding cooperation and driving development, opening a new phase in the mutually beneficial, friendly cooperation between China and Cuba," said Xi after touching down Monday night in Havana.
By Nidal al-Mughrabi and Jeffrey Heller GAZA/JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel pounded targets across the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, saying no ceasefire was near as top U.S. and United Nations diplomats pursued talks on halting the fighting that has claimed more than 600 lives. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry held discussions in neighboring Egypt, while U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon met Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Tel Aviv and planned to see the Palestinian prime minister in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday. Hamas, the dominant group in the Gaza Strip, and its allies fired more rockets into Israel, triggering sirens in Tel Aviv.
ATLANTA (AP) — Coca-Cola Co. reported sales that fell short of Wall Street estimates on Tuesday as demand weakened for Diet Coke in North America.
Dutch experts on Tuesday prepared to fly out bodies recovered from downed Malaysian flight MH17, as Europe moved to punish Russia for fanning the rebellion in east Ukraine that it believes led to the crash. A train carrying the remains of the victims arrived in the government-held Ukrainian city of Kharkiv five days after the jet was brought down, after rebels controlling the crash site finally released the bodies and plane's black boxes under intense international pressure. A truce has been declared by rival sides around the impact site, but close by fighting raged on as government troops pushed on with an offensive to wrest control of east Ukraine's industrial heartland from the pro-Moscow rebels. Around 1,000 people have been killed in the 15-week conflict, almost a third of those victims of the plane crash that had brought Ukraine's war at the doorstep of countries as far away as Australia and Indonesia.
The reform-minded governor of Jakarta, Joko Widodo, was Tuesday declared the winner of Indonesia's presidential election after a closely-fought race against a controversial ex-general with deep roots in the era of strongman Suharto. As a grinning Widodo, dressed in a traditional Indonesian patterned shirt, looked on, the election commission announced that he had beaten Prabowo Subianto by more than more than six percentage points in the fight to lead the world's third-biggest democracy. Both candidates claimed victory on the day of the July 9 election, despite reliable polling agencies predicting a win for Widodo.
LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — Nearly a dozen parents of the more than 200 kidnapped Nigerian schoolgirls will never see their daughters again.
Real Madrid on Tuesday signed Colombian striker James Rodriguez, the top scorer at the World Cup, from Monaco on a six season contract. Spanish media said Real paid about €80 million ($108m) for Rodriguez, making him one of the most expensive players ever. Neither club gave a figure, but Monaco said it was "one of the biggest transfers in football history." Rodriguez, 23, scored six goals for Colombia at the World Cup to win the Golden Boot award.
US airline Delta said Tuesday it was indefinitely suspending flights between the United States and Israel, citing security concerns. In a statement, the carrier said it had diverted a flight bound for Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion International Airport to Paris on Tuesday after "reports of a rocket or associated debris near the airport in Tel Aviv." "Delta has suspended service until further notice to and from Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv and its New York-JFK hub," the airline said in a statement.
UN chief Ban Ki-moon demanded Tuesday that Israel and Hamas halt the spiralling violence in Gaza as he pushed diplomatic efforts to end bloodshed that has killed 620 Palestinians. Following top-level truce talks in Cairo, the UN secretary-general headed to Israel to deliver his message in person as the 15-day conflict showed no sign of easing.
LONDON (AP) — Global stocks rallied Tuesday amid more solid U.S. earnings reports and as the bodies of those killed in the Malaysia Airlines crash reached Ukrainian government-controlled territory.
NEW YORK (AP) — Solid earnings for a range of big companies helped nudge the stock market higher on Tuesday. The restaurant chain Chipotle and the cable giant Comcast surged after reporting better results than Wall Street expected.
Verizon Communications Inc, the largest U.S. wireless telecommunications company, on Tuesday reported better-than-expected quarterly revenue on a jump in wireless customers and a surge in tablet sales. The increase in customers is a boost for Verizon, which has been reluctant to follow rivals like T-Mobile US Inc which have discounted aggressively. Verizon has not been aggressively promoting such plans, and said only 18 percent of wireless customers signed up for them. We did not abandon the legacy model when we launched our installment plan as other carriers have," said Fran Shammo, Verizon's chief financial officer.

Why doctors are reluctant to take responsibility for rising medical costs
Medical costs are skyrocketing and a survey published last month in JAMA has us doctors pointing fingers in every direction but at ourselves. The more than 2500 physicians surveyed rested most of the blame on malpractice lawyers, insurance companies, healthcare conglomerates, and drug/device companies. Patients came next. Trailing the lot were the doctors themselves. Doctors' enthusiasm for cost-containment strategies that affected their compensation—eliminating fee-for-service reimbursement, "bundling" payments for the total care of patients, penalizing physicians when patients were re-admitted to the hospital—was notably lukewarm. However, nearly all were in support of eliminating waste and fraud, promoting continuity of care, minimizing corporate influence in medicine, and having better data about the relative quality of various medical interventions.
