VU prof, Shalom founder launch social enterprise in Guatemala
A malnutrition-oriented project started by a Vanderbilt University professor and the founder of the Middle Tennessee-based Shalom Foundation has reached a milestone with the opening of a Central American supplementary food production facility.
According to a VU release, Ted Fischer (pictured), professor of anthropology and director of the Center for Latin American Studies, teamed with multiple Vanderbilt students over a five-year period on the project. Relatedly, Shalom head Steve Moore, a former Country Music Association CEO, worked with Fischer to found NutriPlus, a social enterprise effort that produces the supplement, Mani+.
The supplement (a fortified nut paste that provides calories, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals essential to brain development in babies and toddlers) is used to specifically address the nutritional deficiencies seen in Central American children. It is the first ready-to-use supplementary Food (RUSF) to be both locally produced and locally sourced in Guatemala City, Guatemala, creating local jobs and supporting local farmers.
The new facility opened on Sept. 23 and will eventually mass produce Mani+. Eventually, Fischer and Moore hope to produce 25 tons of Mani+ a month, reaching 25,000 children.
To recognize the opening of the facility, an event was held recently at the Instituto de Nutrición de Centro América y Panamá (INCAP). Senior health officials from Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panama and the Dominican Republic attended, as well as prominent business and NGO leaders and representatives from the World Food Program.
Shalom Foundation's Guatemala City pediatric clinic has strong ties to Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt. The clinic houses the Vanderbilt Guatemala Research Station.
Regarding Mani+, Vanderbilt students helped develop financial and quality control models, an aflotoxin eradication plan for partner peanut farmers, and educational materials and packaging. They also conducted field research on peanut cultivation and Mani+ usage in the home. The paste itself was developed in partnership with food scientists at INCAP, which also donated the Mani+ production facility.
A 40-year longitudinal study by INCAP finds that the costs of childhood malnutrition are high and lasting.
"There's a huge economic impact to malnutrition," Fischer said in the release. "Kids don't do as well in school, and we know from this data that they earn 40 percent less as adults than peers who were well-nourished. So to put it into a dollar figure, in Guatemala, that's $300 million a year that malnutrition is costing this country."

Reasons to believe: Vanderbilt at MTSU
The most recent installments of the on-again, off-again series between Vanderbilt and Middle Tennessee State changed the nature of the regional rivalry.
The Blue Raiders' victories in the last three matchups (2001, 2002 and 2005) make the intrigue of Saturday's game at Floyd Stadium in Murfreesboro (6 p.m., CBS Sports Network) less an opportunity for them to show what they can do against an SEC opponent than it is a chance for the Commodores to show they won't screw it up.
This is the first of four straight years in which these teams will play, which means it's Vanderbilt's chance to restore a sense of normalcy to the proceedings.
Three reasons to believe Vanderbilt will win Saturday
• Turnover time: The defense forced its first turnovers of the season with a pair of interceptions last Saturday at Ole Miss. Coaches and players like to say it because it's true — takeaways tend to come in bunches. Now that the Commodores have gotten a couple, there is reason to think that more will follow in this game and others. Once players know they can make those sorts of plays, they tend to make them much more often.
• Go-to guy: Wide receiver Trent Sherfield has emerged as the primary target in the offense. After a record-setting performance against Austin Peay, he had a solid but unspectacular performance (seven receptions, 55 yards) against much stiffer competition at Ole Miss. MTSU falls somewhere between those two defenses on the talent scale, so there's reason to think Sherfield will have some catches — and maybe even a big play or two.
• First rate on third down: Vanderbilt's offense was 10-for-22 on third down against Ole Miss and the defense allowed three conversions in 13 attempts. Vanderbilt is second in the SEC in both third-down offense and defense and the defense is among the top 10 in the FBS. MTSU has relied on long drives this season and Vanderbilt can stop such drives with stops on third down.
Three reasons to believe Vanderbilt won't win Saturday
• Father and son: MTSU coach Rick Stockstill made the somewhat surprising decision to go with his son Brent, a redshirt-freshman, as his starting quarterback this season. It is a move that has paid off for the Blue Raiders, who have one of the highest-scoring and most efficient offenses in the country. The younger Stockstill has completed roughly 70 percent of his passes and has spread the ball around to a bunch of different receivers.
• History lesson: None of the current players on either side had anything to do with it, but the Blue Raiders have won the last three meetings in the series. MTSU coaches need only to open up the history books or pull out some old game film to prove to their players it's possible. Vanderbilt coaches can — and should — do the same to make sure their players, who already lost to one Conference USA team this season, are on high alert.
• Slow starters: Surprisingly for a team that has won just once in four games, Vanderbilt has scored first three times. The problem is that in each of those cases, the first points have come three at a time (field goals). MTSU has scored more than 70 points twice this season with some help from an opportunistic defense that can score in its own right. If the Commodores fall behind in this one, there's a chance they never catch up.
The bottom line
Vanderbilt has improved enough since the opener that it should win this game — provided it does not take a step backward.
The offense has not committed a turnover in the past two games. That has to continue because the Western Kentucky game showed what an equalizer — or a difference maker — those giveaways can be.
The defense has shown it can match up with prolific, up-tempo offenses. Ole Miss had a comparable scheme to MTSU but with better personnel, so last week's game should serve as a good warm-up for this one.
There's no doubt the Commodores have made significant strides in their second season under Derek Mason. Any chance for the results to reflect that improvement, though, will vanish if they don't win this game.
Neighbors to retire at VU as vice mayor service ends

VU Law social justice program gets Barrett name
Vanderbilt Law School graduate Darren Robbins has made a gift to the social justice program at the school, which will now carry the name of the late George Barrett. Barrett — pictured here with Rita Geier, with whom he worked for more than three decades on desegregating Tennessee's state universities — was a 1957 VU Law graduate who was a partner at Barrett Johnston until his death at 86 a year ago.
As a result of this gift, the Social Justice Program, which is co-directed by professors Terry Maroney and Daniel Sharfstein, will support students and graduates pursuing social justice careers. It will provide competitive one-year public interest fellowships to Vanderbilt Law School graduates each year, fund a number of students doing public interest legal work in the summer, and serve as the hub of social justice activities at the law school, including programming throughout the school year and an annual public lecture.

VU names Sloop associate provost for digital learning
Vanderbilt University has tapped John M. Sloop as associate provost for digital learning.
According to a release, Sloop (pictured) will oversee the Vanderbilt Institute for Digital Learning and will focus on the development and implementation of school-based educational technology initiatives. In addition, he will provide oversight of campus partnerships and experimentation with Coursera and Blackboard, among other digital platforms.
Sloop joined the VU faculty in 1995 as assistant professor of communication studies and was later promoted to professor in 2000. He served during the 2014-15 academic year as the interim dean of the VU College of Arts and Science.
"We believe educational technologies are transforming how we teach, learn and conduct research and that innovation in this burgeoning area is critical to our continued evolution as a university," said Cynthia Cyrus, vice provost for learning and residential affairs. "John's proven leadership, honed during his years as senior associate dean and then interim dean of the College of Arts and Science, will be of great benefit to our efforts in this area, and I'm grateful for his willingness to take on this new role."

Essie Ridge Filling base coat
Since Essie Nourish Me/Feed Me is no longer available here in Finland I need a new base under my Stuck On Blu! base coat. Yes, I use two base coats 99% of the time. The first base coat that goes straight on my nails needs to be a treatment type of base coat that is not a nail hardener. I need it to be more nourishing or my nails start to dry and peel. Since Nourish Me is no more, Essie Finland recommended that I try their Ridge Filling base coat instead.

Sally Hansen 18K Gold Hardener
Today it's time for my review of the new Sally Hansen 18K Gold Hardener. As I have previously mentioned I usually don't use nail strengtheners cos they make my nails too hard and they start to peel and chip easier. How ever Sally Hansen Nail Rehab base coat worked so well for me that I wanted to give this one a try too.

Rimmel Lasting Finish 25H Foundation with Comfort Serum and Lasting Finish Concealer
Today I'm showing you how well Rimmel Lasting Finish 25H Foundation with Comfort Serum and Lasting Finish Concealer work for me.
The photos below have not been retouched in any way other than cropping and adding the text. So with this makeup foundation, what you see is what you get on my skin. I have a dry combination skin that very easily looks dry after applying makeup. After three to four hours at the latest I usually experience the foundation running from my cheeks and especially the tip of my nose exposing the red skin. I need all kinds of primer and powdering tricks to keep my face looking good for more than three hours.

ScraPerfect Best Glue Ever and Watercolor nails with foil
Happy Sunday! I haven't used nail foils for a long time cos I've always felt like they are hard to use. They don't stick, they wrinkle, glue doesn't dry, glue dries too fast and so on. I got this bottle of ScraPerfect Best Glue Ever a while ago and I finally decided to be brave enough to try foil again. I used it on parts of the nails and I think it ended up looking great. So today I'm going to share my experience with ScraPerfect Best Glue Ever with you.

Hi! I've not been playing long (played a bit when I was a kid, and enjoying playing again now, despite the odd moment of head-banging stupidity). Had a game against a higher-ranked opponent, and I thought that towards the end I had what should have been a game-winning advantage. Would anyone like to tell me where I went wrong (either in the end game or earlier - I know there are a few foul-ups in there).
I've added notes through the game, as best I can remember. I figure that at turn 40 I should have a decisive advantage, but fluffed it. And 49.b5 was a mistake I'm still kicking myself over.
I won't comment on every single little thing.
13. Bxc2, forget the knight on d6, trap it, attack it, whatever. I'll just take the pawn. White's development stinks.
20...g5 is a bad move. 21.gxf4 gives you very crappy pawns on the kingside. Anything but this.
40... At this point, you can win a pawn back and it appears like you should win.
47....Nxh3+ now you must be winning.
49...Kd6 looks like one way. The endgame is a bit tricky though.
46 Nxh3+ seems better...? But I am not certain of it.
Thanks, Bonesy1116. I didn't really think about pawn structure from 20.g5, but now you mention it it seems obvious that that would make a mess of things.
Thanks jonnin. I wasn't sure about the rook swap, especially with a pawn race going on, but I figured that the knight advantage would count for more with the rooks off the board. I was also a bit worried that I couldn't defend my pawns from a rook as easily as he could, as mine were in a terrible arrangement and distant from the King.
It is difficult to defend against multiple pawns by just having a knight. You must play precisely to win. It's a better decision to keep the rooks on the board as they are better defenders and can counterattack very easily.
I think 54... f6 looks like a mistake. 54... Nxb4 55. d6 a5 might work for a tricky draw.

Last time I checked, the freedom of prayer was guaranteed in our great country.Aside - just by doing the math, CXM will/could continue its free fall for a while, to around $0.10-$0.12 - and then, at the time of the elusive approval, a 400% gain is not out of question. Yes, I am assuming a 400% jump upon approval, I am pretty optimistic, I would say, all of a sudden.

New Backyard Projects.

posted May 13 2010 9:46AM
Since the weather has been warming up I've been itching to get to work in the back yard. There are so many things I want to do this summer. I only wonder if my budget will hold up to what I want to do. I watch the DIY networks all the time looking for ideas, and more than anything; ideas on how to save money.
Doing it yourself is the biggest way to save money. Contractors make a good living because either folks don't know how, or don't want to do the work. I can tell you that I truly appreciate the things I've done myself so much more. Not to mention the highend result without the price tag.
I will also say I like to finish my projects, some people start things and never finish, which is easy to do, but I've come to appreciate the feeling of getting something completely done. I always try to finish something before I begin a new project. I also use the Internet as a huge resource for figuring out the right way to do my projects. That is the beauty of the information that is at our finger tips. There are no secrets when it comes to how to do projects yourself. It just takes time, patience, research and a few scraped knuckles.
I'll be posting updates on my backyard projects over the next few months and offering steps, and tips on how I did it and if I find places to save money I'll share those also... Starting this weekend I will be removing the old ugly concrete steps from the back of my house and replacing them with wooden steps with hand rails that will look better and be much safer. I'll post pictures next week... (WP)

Fatal Flaw
By William Lashner
William MorrowISBN: 0-06-050816-7
Chapter OneGuy Forrest was sitting on the cement steps outside the house when I arrived. His head was hidden in his hands. Rain fell in streams from his shoulders, his knees, tumbled off the roof of his brow. He was slumped naked in the rain, and beside his feet lay the gun.
From his nakedness and the diagonal despair of his posture, I suspected the worst.
"What did you do?" I shouted at him over the thrumming rain.
He didn't answer, he didn't move.
I prodded him with my foot. He collapsed onto his side.
"Guy, you bastard. What the hell did you do?"
His voice rose from the tangled limbs like the whimperings of a beaten dog. "I loved her. I loved her. I loved her."
Then I no longer suspected, then I knew.
I leaned over and lifted the gun by the trigger guard. No telling what more damage he could do with it. Careful to leave no prints, I placed it in my outside raincoat pocket. The door to the house was thrown open. I slipped around his heaving body and stepped inside. Later on, in the press, the house would be described as a Main Line love nest, but that raises images of a Stanford White-inspired palace of debauchery-red silk sheets and velvet wallpaper, a satin swing hanging from the rafters-but nothing could be further from the truth. It was a modest old stone house in a crowded Philadelphia suburb, just over City Line Avenue. The walls were bare, the furnishings sparse. A cheap table stood in the dining room to the left of the entrance, a television lay quiet before a threadbare couch in the living room to the right. There was a Jacuzzi in the bathroom, true, but in the furnishings there was a sense of biding time, of making do until real life with real furniture began. In the bedroom, up the stairs, I knew there to be a single bureau bought at some discount build-it-yourself place, a desk with stacks of bills, a fold-up chair, a mattress on the floor.
A mattress on the floor.
Well, maybe the press had it right after all, maybe it was a love nest, and maybe the mattress on the floor was the giveaway. For what would true lovers need with fine furnishings and fancy wallpaper? What would true lovers need with upholstered divans, with Klimts on the wall, with a grand piano in the formal living room? What would true lovers need with a hand-carved mahogany bed supporting a canopy of blue silk hanging over all like the surface of the heavens? Such luxury is only for those needing more in their lives than love. True lovers would require only a mattress on the floor to cast their spells one upon the other and enjoin the world to slip away. Until the world refused.
The mattress on the floor. That's where I would find her.
Rain dripped off my coat like tears as I climbed the stairway. My hand crept along the smooth banister. Around the landing, up another half flight. As I rose ever closer, my step slowed. A complex scent pressed itself upon me like a smothering pillow. I could detect the sharpness of cordite and something sweet beneath that, a memory scent from my college days touched now with jasmine, and then something else, something lower than the cordite and the sweetness, something coppery and sour, something desolate. A few steps higher and then to the left, to the master bedroom.
The door was open, the bedroom light was on, the mattress on the floor was visible from the hallway outside. And on it she lay, her frail, pale body twisted strangely among the clotted sheets.
There was no need to check a pulse or place a mirror over her mouth. I had seen dead before and she qualified. Her legs were covered by the dark blue comforter, but it was pulled down far enough to reveal her cream silk teddy, shamelessly raised above her naked belly. Crimson spotted the blanched white of her skin. The teddy was stained red at the heart.
I stood there for longer than I now can remember. The sight of her unnatural posture, the colliding scents of gunpowder and pot, of blood and jasmine, the brutal mark of violence on her chest, all of it, the very configuration of her death overwhelmed me. I was lost in the vision, swallowed whole by time. I can't tell you exactly what was flailing through my mind because it is lost to me now, just as I was lost to the moment, but when I recovered enough to function a decision had been made. A decision had been made. I'm not sure how, but I know why, I surely know why. A decision had been made, a decision I have never regretted, an implacable decision, yet pure and right, a decision had been made, and for the rest of my involvement in that death and its grisly aftermath that decision guided my every step, my every step, starting with the first.
I took a deep breath and entered the bedroom. I squatted, leaned over the mattress, touched her jaw. It was still slightly warm, but the joint now was not perfectly slack. The skin at the bottom of her arm had turned a purplish red. I pressed a finger into the skin; it whitened for an instant before the color returned. It had been about an hour, I calculated. Still squatting, I leaned farther forward and stared closely at her face.
Her name was Hailey Prouix. Black hair, blue eyes, long-necked and pale-skinned, she was thirty years old and lovely as a siren. While still alive she had peered out at the world with a wary detachment. She had seen too much to take anything at face value, her manner said as clear as words, she had been hurt too much to expect anything other than blows. She wore sharp, dark-rimmed glasses that were all business, but her mouth curved so achingly you couldn't look at it without wanting to take it in your own. And her stare, her stare, containing as it did both warning and dare, could weaken knees.

Debt Limit:
Delays Create Debt Management Challenges and Increase Uncertainty in the Treasury Market
GAO-11-203: Published: Feb 22, 2011. Publicly Released: Feb 22, 2011.

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO has prepared this report to assist Congress in identifying and addressing debt management challenges. Since 1995, the statutory debt limit has been increased 12 times to its current level of $14.294 trillion. The Department of the Treasury (Treasury) recently notified Congress that the current debt limit could be reached as early as April 5, 2011, and the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects that under current law debt subject to the limit will exceed $25 trillion in 2021. This report (1) describes the actions that Treasury traditionally takes to manage debt near the limit, (2) analyzes the effects that approaching the debt limit has had on the market for Treasury securities, and (3) describes alternative mechanisms that would permit consideration of the link between policy decisions and the effect on debt when or before decisions are made. GAO analyzed Treasury and market data; interviewed Treasury officials, budget and legislative experts, and market participants; and reviewed practices in selected countries.
The debt limit does not control or limit the ability of the federal government to run deficits or incur obligations. Rather, it is a limit on the ability to pay obligations already incurred. While debates surrounding the debt limit may raise awareness about the federal government's current debt trajectory and may also provide Congress with an opportunity to debate the fiscal policy decisions driving that trajectory, the ability to have an immediate effect on debt levels is limited. This is because the debt reflects previously enacted tax and spending policies. Delays in raising the debt limit create debt and cash management challenges for the Treasury, and these challenges have been exacerbated in recent years by a large growth in debt. In the past, Treasury has often used extraordinary actions, such as suspending investments or temporarily disinvesting securities held in federal employee retirement funds, to remain under the statutory limit. However, the extraordinary actions available to the Treasury have not kept pace with the growth in borrowing needs. For example, unlike the past, the amount potentially provided by the extraordinary actions for 1 month in fiscal year 2010 was less than the monthly increase in debt subject to the limit for most months of the year. As a result, once debt reaches the limit, Congress will likely have less time than in prior years to debate raising the debt limit before there are disruptions to government programs and services. This trend is likely to continue given the long-term fiscal outlook. Failure to raise the debt limit in a timely manner could have serious negative consequences for the Treasury market and increase borrowing costs. Also, some of the actions that Treasury has taken to manage the amount of debt near the limit add uncertainty to the Treasury market. In the past, Treasury has postponed auctions and dramatically reduced the amount of bills outstanding, which compromised the regularity of auctions and the certainty of supply on which Treasury relies to achieve the lowest borrowing cost over time. GAO's analysis suggests that borrowing costs modestly increased during debt limit debates in 2002, 2003, and most recently in 2010. In addition, managing debt near the debt limit diverts Treasury's limited resources away from other cash and debt management issues at a time when Treasury already faces challenges in lengthening the average maturity of its debt portfolio. Observers and participants suggested improving the link between the spending and revenue decisions that drive debt and changes in the debt limit. Better alignment could be possible if decisions about the debt level occur in conjunction with spending and revenue decisions as opposed to the after-the-fact approach now used. This practice, which is similar to practices used in some other countries, might facilitate efforts to change the fiscal path by highlighting the implications of tax and spending decisions on changes in debt. To avoid potential disruptions to Treasury markets and help inform fiscal policy decisions in a timely way, Congress should consider ways to better link decisions about the debt limit with decisions about spending and revenue. Treasury provided technical comments on a draft of this report, which GAO incorporated as appropriate.
Matter for Congressional Consideration
Status: Open
Comments: Congress and the President have used a number of new approaches in recent years to increase the debt limit. For example, the Budget Control Act of 2011 provided for increases in the debt limit if the President certified that the debt subject to the limit was within $100 billion of the limit and that further borrowing was required to meet existing commitments subject to a joint congressional resolution of disapproval. Subsequent legislation temporarily suspended the debt limit during which time Treasury was able to continue to borrow to meet the funding needs of the federal government. These new approaches do not explicitly link decisions about the debt limit to legislation that is expected to increase borrowing needs or debate over specific tax or spending proposal and their effect on debt. However, they contain features that allow the Treasury to pay obligations incurred. We will continue to monitor legislation enacting future debt limit increases.
Matter: The projections of a growing debt burden have raised concerns both in Congress and in the public. Well-designed budget processes and metrics can help as Congress and the President seek to address the federal government's long-term fiscal challenge. The current design of the debt limit does not engender or facilitate debate over specific tax or spending proposals and their effect on debt. In addition, the uncertainty it creates can lead to disruptions in the Treasury market and in turn to higher borrowing costs. To avoid these potential disruptions to the Treasury market and to help inform the fiscal policy debate in a timely way, Congress may wish to consider ways to better link decisions about the debt limit with decisions about spending and revenue. Such a process would build on the approach used in 2008 and 2009 when Congress passed and the President signed three laws that were expected to increase borrowing with a corresponding increase in the debt limit. This report presents a number of approaches that could serve as a basis for better linking decisions about spending and revenue with decisions about the debt limit.

Defense, size secure sectional title for OPRF girls volleyball
Huskies (30-9) take on Mother McAuley (37-2) at Saturday's 1 p.m. Lyons Township Supersectional
The OPRF girls volleyball team features plenty of size along its front line and an excellent defensive team across the board. The Huskies put their impressive defensive prowess on full display during their 25-15, 25-23 win over Glenbard South in Thursday's Morton Sectional final in the Class 4A playoffs. OPRF (30-9) faces Mother McAuley (37-2) in Saturday's 1 p.m. Lyons Township Supersectional.
Leading 17-13 in the opening game against Glenbard South, the Huskies went on an 8-2 run to seize an early advantage. OPRF appeared en route to a relatively comfortable straight games sweep up 18-11 in Game 2, but the Raiders caught fire with an 8-0 to seize a 19-18 lead. However, the Huskies fashioned a late-game run again to pull out a 25-23 score and huge match victory.
Symone Speech led the Huskies' stellar defensive effort with seven blocks and also two kills, while Amy Schembari contributed four blocks, 13 assists and two kills. Allie Nelson dug out 12 balls and Ariel Hamby also shined defensively. Collectively, the Huskies were effective containing the Raiders' top offensive threats, Sydney Bauman and Tarah Valdez.
Kiley Nelson led the OPRF offense with eight kills.
Mother McAuley punched its ticket to meet the Huskies in Saturday's supersectional showdown via a 25-20, 25-16 victory over Sandburg on Thursday. Ryann DeJarld (11 kills, seven digs), Kayla Caffey (four kills, two blocks) and Courtney Joyce (25 assists) carried the Mighty Macs to victory.
Huskies outlast Downers Grove North in sectional semifinal thriller
The Oak Park and River Forest High School girls volleyball team defeated a familiar opponent en route to its 29th win this season and an appearance in the Morton Sectional final of the Class 4A playoffs. The Huskies (29-9) defeated West Suburban Conference Silver Division rival Downers Grove North 25-19, 24-26, 25-22 in the sectional semifinals.
OPRF faces Glenbard South on Thursday (7 p.m.) in the sectional championship match on the Morton West campus.
Glenbard South edged Lyons Township 17-25, 25-19, 25-23 to secure its spot in the title match.
"It feels so good to advance to the sectional final," OPRF sophomore Ariel Hamby said. "The main thing we were focusing on was keeping our head in the game, even under all the pressure. We just wanted to keep focused and not let anything get the best of us."
With the score knotted at 19-19 in a tense Game 3, OPRF senior outside hitter Kiley Nelson smashed a kill putting the Huskies up 20-19. OPRF sealed the deal after that turning point, highlighted by a 3-0 run to close the match.
"After losing the second game, we kept our focus," Hamby said. "We had to pull together; we knew that every point was important the rest of the match."
Nelson led the Huskies with 11 kills, a block and an ace, while her sister, Allie (a sophomore libero) tallied 11 of the team's 54 total digs. Schembari dished out 28 assists while Hamby recorded nine kills and two blocks. Tessa Saraceno (10 kills) and Symone Speech (six kills, three blocks) also contributed for the Huskies.

A More Convenient Season: World Premiere
This September, Hope Takes the Stage. Will You Join Us?
A More Convenient Season
World Premiere
featuring the Alabama Symphony Orchestra, four of Birmingham's most talented young soloists, an all-female chorus composed of members of the region's most beloved community choirs including Sixteenth Street Baptist Church Choir, Tuskegee University Choir, Mississippi State University Choir, & many others; an original film from award-winning director David Peterson, and an electronic music component created by innovative artist Philip White.
Commissioned by architect and philanthropist Tom Blount, produced by the Alys Stephens Center. Sponsored by Betty and John McMahon, Friends of Cornerstone School and UAB Medicine.
On September 21, the ASC presents the largest commissioning project in the Center's history with the premiere of a new work by composer Yotam Haber, commissioned to commemorate the Civil Rights Movement events of 1963.
The work, titled "A More Convenient Season," derives its name from the text of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letter from Birmingham Jail."
"… who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a 'more convenient season.' Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than
absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."
Like no performance we've experienced before, the work can best be described as "soaring." Every word the chorus sings comes from FBI files and oral histories from the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute's archives. The accompanying film is created from home movies and news footage of the time. The music, performed by an orchestra and a live electronic artist, is stirring and emotional. Yet all of the work's voices come together for a message of beauty and hope. The piece exemplifies the power of the arts to tell our stories, connect us, and give us hope for the future.
The chorus sings, "How far is far?" … "How high is high?"
Guggenheim fellow and accomplished composer Yotam Haber found inspiration for those words through repeated visits to Birmingham over the last two years. The culmination of Haber's listening to oral histories, learning from foot soldiers, speaking with historians, and browsing through files and artifacts in the Birmingham Public Library Archives has resulted in this immense work. Choirmaster David Harris comments, "I can't underscore enough how powerful this music and this project is. I believe it's one of the most important choral pieces for at least a decade, or more, and that we will hear more about it for years to come."
In 2014, the Alys Stephens Center will also premiere this work on the West Coast in a performance featuring the CalArts Orchestra at REDCAT (Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theatre).
ArtPlay Composers Workshop: Monday, Sept. 16, 4pm, Jemison Concert Hall.
ArtPlay Meet the Artist School Show: Thursday, Sept. 19, 10am, Jemison Concert Hall.

- Jemison Concert Hall
Yotam Haber was born in Holland and grew up in Israel, Nigeria, and Milwaukee - his music is informed by those places. He received the 2007-2008 Frederic A. Juilliard/Walter Damrosch Rome Prize and a 2005 John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship. Recent commissions include two works for Pritzker Prize-winning architect Peter Zumthor; and new works for Gabriel Kahane, Alarm Will Sound; 2012 Bang on a Can Summer Festival; the Neuvocalsolisten Stuttgart and ensemble l'arsenale; JACK Quartet, Cantori New York, and the Berlin-based Quartet New Generation. He is currently collaborating with MacArthur Prize Fellow Anna Schuleit on a large-scale project of 104 piano pieces inspired by 104 paintings, drawn from stories by the Austrian writer Thomas Bernhard. Haber is the artistic director of MATA, the non-profit organization founded by Philip Glass, that has, since 1996, been dedicated to commissioning and presenting new works by young composers from around the world. His music is published by RAI Trade.
They've rocked some of the biggest stages in the business. Finally, Robert Randolph & The Family Band are bringing
their intense, good-time funk, and brilliant pedal steel guitar playing to the ASC. » First, let's talk guitar. Randolph's
unprecedented prowess on his instrument garnered him a spot on Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time"
list. Rolling Stone called the group "one of the most intense live acts in all of jamdom," making their appearance at the ASC one that should not be missed. Robert Randolph & The Family Band will be a show that will have you dancing in your seat!
The ASC is honored to host a tribute to one of the greatest guitarists and musicians of all time as we pay homage to B.B. King. Over a dozen musicians from Birmingham and around the Southeast region are coming together for one night to honor the blues legend in this free concert. Join Elnora Spencer, Ona Watson, Chad Fisher, CeCe Phillips, Sean Michael Ray, PJ Spraggins, Joseph Stallworth, Joey Sommerville, Marc Phillips and GrooveDaddy, Microwave Dave, Norris Jones, Tim Boykin, and UAB's Artist-in-Residence, Eric Essix.
Finally. Rickie Lee Jones is coming back to Birmingham! The ASC is thrilled to present the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter for an evening of musical reminiscing and exploration. Jones exploded onto the pop scene in 1979 and has made a career of fearlessly experimenting with her sound and persona over 15 critically acclaimed albums. A cultural phenomenon, she graced the cover of Rolling Stone twice in two years, and performed an unprecedented three songs during her second appearance on "Saturday Night Live." Her latest album and first new music in over a decade, The Other Side of Desire was written, recorded, and rooted in New Orleans.
Hosted by UAB Artist-in-Residence Eric Essix, The Essentials is the ASC's innovative series devoted to honoring the rich history of jazz. The fourth installment will explore the complex, multinational musical fusion known as Latin jazz. » The evening begins with a survey of the history of Latin jazz, the music, and the artists — led by Essix and legendary percussionist Poncho Sanchez. » The second set features Grammy-winner Sanchez with his fragments of Latin jazz, swing, bebop, salsa, and other infectious grooves colliding and churning in a fiery swirl with dazzling results.
If you were in college during the 1980s, you probably saw the Indigo Girls in some small, smoke-filled basement pub and were convinced you'd stumbled into folk duet heaven. More than 30 years later, those two Georgia ladies with their husky voices and intimate, poignant lyrics are still going strong. While most artists who launched their careers in the 1980s have slipped from our collective memory, the Indigo Girls are still writing and recording, championing a number of social and environmental causes, and filling halls with devoted, multi-generational audiences.
The ASC is proud to treat our patrons to Gleb Ivanov, an internationally accomplished young pianist The New York Times said "is a cut above the usual, a young super-virtuoso, with musical sensitivity and an appreciation of style to go with the thunder and lightning." As a young man in Russia, Ivanov was a protégé of Mstislav Rostropovich, appearing as soloist under the famous maestro with the Nizhny Novgorod Philharmonic.

A summer camp in Afton and beyond for youth ages 6 to 12 is aiming to dispel misconceptions about American Indians. School District 833, in cooperation with the South St. Paul School District, the Indian Youth Enrichment Program and St.
A Woodbury man, along with 17 other defendants, have been charged in federal court in connection with an indoor marijuana growing operation. Dat Thai Tran, 27, of Woodbury was charged on Wednesday, July 2 with one count of conspiracy to manufacturer at least 1,000 marijuana plants. The criminal complaint alleges that Tran, and 17 other defendants, conspired to manufacture marijuana plants from February through June. Search warrants were executed on June 30 for various locations throughout the Twin Cities.
The lawsuit against an Afton resident and his allegedly illegal airstrip will be stuck on the runway for a bit longer. A jury trial was set to begin this morning, but prior to the trial the attorney for Afton resident Jeffrey Walker made a motion to be removed from the case. The motion was granted. It's been almost five years since Walker installed an airstrip on his property at 1022 Indian Trail South in Afton -- a move Afton officials contend is not permitted by city ordinance.
Summer has officially started for the students of New Life Academy who had their last day of school on June 4, and for the seniors it was the last day before they embark on their futures. What better way to celebrate the end of the year than by celebrating the students who have achieved so much over the year. This year's secondary awards ceremony awarded numerous awards to New Life students grades eight through 12.
Denise Minea grew up around music, as her family was a very musical one. Ever since she was a young girl, she has been singing in church choirs, too. Now Minea, a Woodbury resident, is hoping to reach others with her debut album of Christian folk music, "In This Life: Reflections on Birch Point." "It won't be everybody's cup of tea, but it will definitely speak to some people," Minea said.
Afton city attorney Fritz Knaak may have his work cut out for him in Afton, but there is another case currently commanding his attention -- Minnesota's U.S. Senate recount. Knaak, of the law firm Knaak and Kantrud PA, and a Vadnais Heights resident, is one of several attorneys working on Republican Sen. Norm Coleman's case against Democratic contender Al Franken. Both Coleman's and Franken's points of view are scheduled to be heard in the Minnesota Supreme Court on Monday, June 1. "It's about as important of a case that will be heard in the Supreme Court," Knaak said.
May is almost coming to a close and that means only one thing for Afton residents -- May Fair is almost here. Every year, hundreds of people come out for the annual event that celebrates everything great about spring and summer. The 17th Annual Afton May Fair will be May 30 and 31 in Afton's Town Square. A variety of events and activities will be taking place. You can stop by the May Fair to peruse the many art vendors on display, or you can enter your family's pie recipe into the pie contest and listen to live music.
It's that time of year again, when District 833 families get the chance to taste a bit of everything South Washington County has to offer. The South Washington County Schools Education Foundation's Taste of South Washington County Extravaganza will come to Woodbury High School on May 5. "We really want to not only raise funds for the Education Foundation, but also be an opportunity to build a sense of community," foundation executive director Patti Bitney Starke said. The Taste of South Washington County Extravaganza was started in 1998 when the education foundation was born.
In addition the numerous changes already facing School District 833 this year -- a new high school, new school boundaries, a new superintendent and a transition to a middle school system -- yet another change is looming on the horizon. Rep. Pat Garofalo (R-Farmington) has brought a bill to the Minnesota House of Representatives that would dramatically change the way districts are funded by the state. "We should be funding those things that are improving a student's education," he said.
A Woodbury family frustrated by the edicts of a District 833 school boundary decision are taking a stand in court. Kendra and Tim Goertzen have filed a lawsuit with the Minnesota Court of Appeals on Feb. 17 over issues stemming from the school boundary decision District 833's school board made in April 2008. "Filing a lawsuit was the last thing we wanted to do, but we couldn't get them to listen to reason," Kendra Goertzen said. The Goertzens live in the Wedgewood Point neighborhood of Woodbury, a little over a mile from Middleton Elementary.
