Shooting Pains
Mar 25, 2019 | S:1 E:17
Every sporting event and arena in America has House of Pain to thank for its lasting contribution to hip-hop history with their 1992 crowd pleasing hit, "Jump Around." Even movies like Mrs. Doubtfire to Black Hawk Down and Bridget Jones' Baby, have utilized the energetic popularity to supplement their soundtracks. 27 years later we are all still jumping around to this jazzy-punk-hip hop mash-up of greatness. Joe and Toby discuss House of Pain members - Everlast, DJ Lethal & Danny Boy - and their musical connection to an American saxophonist and vocalist who recorded for Motown during the 1960s.
What we geek out over in this episode: Junior Walker and The All Stars, The Cosby Show theme song, Moonglows vs. Moondog, Record Producer and Singer Harvey Fuqua, "Harlem Shuffle" (1963) by Bob & Earl, 1950's American Singer Thurston Harris, ToeJam & Earl video game, Chubby Checker's "Popeye the Hitchhiker" (1962), DJ Muggs, and 'Chickity-check yo self before you wreck yo self'.
Bonus Material: Everlast and his success as a solo artist.
🔊"Jump Around"
Joe: Hello and Welcome to Riffs on Riffs, where we explore the collision of original and sampled tracks and the artists who made them. I'm your host, Joe Watson, and I'm here with my co-host, Toby Brazwell. What's up Toby?
Toby: Not much man! Good to be here!
Joe: Together, we listen to the legendary tracks and the timeless — but sometimes not-so-well-known — songs they sampled from. Toby, what are we listening to today?
Toby: This is a track called "Jump Around" from House of Pain. Let's hop in the Delorean and find out what track was sampled to produce this hit.
Joe: Rewind!!
🔊Rewind
🔊"Shoot Your Shot"
Toby: Joe, what are we listening to?
Joe: This is a song called "Shoot Your Shot" by Junior Walker and the All Stars. Let's dig into Junior Walker's history and find out how the All Stars got their start.
Toby: Autry Mixon Jr., aka Junior Walker, was born in Blytheville, Arkansas. He learned to play the saxophone and formed a band called the Jumpin Jacks. On occasion, Junior would also sit in with other bands. One of those bands was formed by his friend Billy "Stix" Nicks.
Joe: Billy's band was called Rhythm Rockers and after some time Autry left his own band and joined the Rockers permanently. Soon after the band name changed from the Rockers to the All Stars.
Toby: The All Stars started to get noticed and were signed by Harvey Fuqua's label, Harvey Records. Harvey Fuqua was a pretty accomplished artist in his own right. In addition to owning a label, he also had a group called Harvey Fuqua and the Moonglows. Soon after signing with Harvey, Walker and the All Stars had one of the first signature hits, "Shotgun." Let's take a listen to the 1965 hit, "Shotgun:"
🔊"Shotgun"
Joe: Legendary track! "Shotgun" reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on the R&B chart in 1965. I love this track and, something about it takes me back to childhood nights around the telly.
Toby: If listening to this song makes you think of America's most popular TV dad, you're on the right track. Tenor Saxophonist, Craig Handy is credited for playing the Cosby Show theme song for the 6th season and the similarity between this song and "Shotgun" is undeniable. Let's take a listen.
🔊Cosby Show
Joe: Wow! That's nuts. I see your factoid and raise you another. As we mentioned earlier, Harvey Fuqua had a group called Harvey Fuqua and the Moonglows. One member of the Moonglows was the one and only, Marvin Gaye.
Toby: Wow, that's a helluva backup!
Joe: Another interesting tidbit about the Moonglows: They were originally called the Crazy Sounds, but when they moved from Louisville to our home city of Cleveland, Ohio, they were taken under the wing of famed disc jockey Alan Freed. Besides coining the phrase Rock and Roll, Alan also renamed the Crazy Sounds to the Moonglows, after his dog, Moondog.
Toby: And to those of you Cleveland Cavalier fans out there, first of all, thank you for sticking around after Lebron left! Secondly, the Cavalier's mascot is also named Moondog in honor of Alan Freed.
Joe: That is a cool tribute.
Toby: As it turns out, Fuqua had an for talent as well an eye for opportunity. After signing Walker and the All Stars he then sold the label to Motown Records. If you are connecting the dots, you can see how Fuqua is credited for introducing Berry Gordy to Marvin Gaye.
Joe: Yes, it helps that he was married to Berry Gordy's sister, Gwen at the time. Man, to be a fly on the wall at those family dinners! And speaking of family, Harvey Fuqua has a nephew you may have heard of, Antoine Fuqua. He's directed a couple of movies.
Toby: Yeah, you could say Antoine's directed a couple of movies, including Training Day, which got Denzel a best actor Oscar. Pretty talented family indeed.
Joe: Ok, back to Junior Walker and the All Stars. After the success of "Shotgun," they recorded a cover of Marvin Gaye's hit "How Sweet it is to be Loved By You". Let's give that a listen:
🔊"How Sweet it is to be Loved By You"
Toby: And besides Marvin and the Junior's versions, I think everyone is familiar with the 1975 cover from James Taylor — this one hit #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the easy listening charts. Let's give that a spin:
🔊"How Sweet it is to be Loved By You" - James Taylor
Toby: There's never a bad time to hear that song. I tell you what else is sweet… success! And that's exactly what Junior Walker and the All Stars found in 1967 with their song called "Shoot Your Shot." Let's take another listen to that.
Joe: Shoot your shot made it to 33 on the Billboard Top 100 and 33 on the R&B chart. Junior Walker and the All Stars had another hit in 1969 with "What Does It Take (To Win Your Love)," which was also co-written by Harvey Fuqua.
🔊"What Does it Take (To Win Your Love)"
Toby: Junior Walker and the All Stars continued to release songs until they disbanded in 1979 as Junior decided to go solo.
Joe: As a solo artist, Junior Walker leant his stellar saxophone skills to Foreigner's 1981 #1 rock hit, "Urgent." Let's take a listen to some of Junior's sax work on that song:
🔊"Urgent"
Toby: There was another guest artist on "Urgent" playing synthesizer. This guy went on to have his own hit in 1982, "She Blinded Me with Science." Let's give that a listen:
🔊"She Blinded Me With Science"
Joe: That was Thomas Dolby, who some would say was a one-hit wonder as that was his only top ten hit, but he's a respected session musician, producer, and educator.
Toby: "She Blinded Me with Science" was also sampled for Mobb Deep's 2004 track, "Got it Twisted." Let's listen to how they put their spin on the Dolby track:
🔊"Got it Twisted"
Toby: So there's another track that House of Pain sampled for "Jump Around." Let's check out the intro for the 1963 song "Harlem Shuffle" by Bob and Earl.
🔊"Harlem Shuffle"
Joe: That's the same intro used for "Jump Around," although they squished it a bit. So a couple of tidbits about Bob and Earl. First, the "Bob" in question is Bobby Byrd…
Toby: And in case y'all were wondering, this is NOT the same Bobby Byrd that sang with James Brown.
Joe: Correct my friend. This Bobby went by the stage name Bobby Day, and he had a #1 hit in 1957 with a little song called "Rockin Robin."
🔊"Rockin Robin"
Toby: Love this song, and thankfully we are sneaking up on springtime in this part of the country. Hopefully we'll see some robins out and about. But this is not Bobby Day's only hit. He wrote and recorded the song "Little Bitty Pretty One" in 1957 as well. Let's give that a listen:
🔊"Little Bitty Pretty One" - Bobby Day
Joe: This track was covered by singer Thurston Harris that same year, and for whatever reason, Harris's version charted much higher, reaching #6 on Billboard Best Sellers and #2 on the R&B chart. Let's give that a spin:
🔊"Little Bitty Pretty One" - Thurston Harris
Toby: Thurston Harris was originally in a band called The Sharps, who backed him up on "Little Bitty Pretty One." They changed their name to The Rivingtons and in 1962 unleashed this epic entry into the English lexicon:
🔊"Papa Oom Mow Mow"
Joe: This wasn't the only deep and lyrically dense song they created. Who could forget the existential classic Bird is the Word?
🔊"Bird is the Word"
Toby: That's so weird, because I always thought Grease is the word. That you heard. It's got groove, it's got meaning.
Joe: Funny you should mention Grease, because the song Summer Nights from that soundtrack lyrically samples "Papa Oom Mow Mow." It's tucked in there, but let's take a listen to the background singers here:
🔊"Summer Nights"
Toby: This isn't the only song to famously use these catchy lyrics. Joe, do you remember a certain gothic clad woman from the 80s with big hair and equally large … personality?
Joe: I believe you are referring to the Mistress of the Dark, Elvira? Why do you ask?
Toby: I am indeed. I only bring her up because of the 1981 Oak Ridge Boys song of the same name. Which was not about the woman Elvira, but about a street in Tennessee. Actually, this was a cover of the 1967 Dallas Frazier song, but it became a huge crossover hit for the Oak Ridge Boys, reaching #1 on the country charts and #5 on the Billboard 100. Let's listen to "Elvira."
🔊"Elvira"
Joe: And there it is. More "Papa Oom Mow Mow." Giddyup! I love tunes that rock bass vocals. Reminds me of the "Walrus of Love."
Toby: Funny you should bring up Barry White, because he co-arranged the Bob and Earl song "Harlem Shuffle."
Joe: He did, and he's not the only other star tied to this song. The Rolling Stones covered "Harlem Shuffle" on their 1986 album Dirty Work, and took it all the way to #2 on the Billboard charts. Let's listen to that.
🔊"Harem Shuffle" - Rolling Stones
Toby: You're right, the star power on this track is crazy. Besides the Stones, we have Ivan Neville, Tom Waits, Patty Scialfa, and even Beverly D'Angelo — I had no idea she did some singing when she wasn't on vacation with Clark Griswold.
Joe: Nor did I! So many connections to Bob and Earl, including our featured track, "Jump Around" by House of Pain. But Toby, I have a question.
Toby: Hit me.
Joe: You and are about the same age. Did you play video games back in the day? Do you remember the Sega Genesis and early Playstation consoles from about the time we were in college? There was a game called ToeJam and Earl…
Toby: Yessir! And that game had a great soundtrack. Funky. Please tell me we have a little sample of some game music.
Joe: I got you buddy, here you go:
🔊ToeJam and Earl
Toby: Thank you for that visit to planet Funkotron. We have certainly circled the musical universe these last few minutes, what do you say we dive deeper into our second featured track, "Jump Around?"
Joe: Let's do it! House of Pain is a hip hop group that featured Everlast as the main MC, Danny Boy as the hype man, and DJ Lethal. Before creating House of Pain, Everlast was signed to the Warner Bros label and released an album entitled Forever Everlasting. The album was produced by MC and actor Ice T.
Toby: Let's take a listen to the first single released from that album, called "Never Missin' A Beat."
🔊"Never Missin' A Beat"
Joe: I can hear some Roger or Zapp in there.
Toby: Right you are my friend. Zapp has a song called "Doo Wa Ditty" that was sampled for this track along with James Brown's "Funky Drummer." Pretty cool how all the connections are being made.
Joe: Agreed. Everlast's debut album didn't sell well, despite collaborations that featured Ice T and the beautiful voice of N'Dea Davenport (lead singer from the group Brand New Heavies). But there was one good thing that came out of it.
Toby: That's right, he met DJ Lethal. DJ Lethal's real name is Leor Dimant and he met Everlast through a mutual friend.
Joe: Apparently Leor was a pretty good beat boxer and after hearing him, Everlast asked him if he wanted to be his DJ. Leor was 16 at the time and decided to Carpe Diem, drop out of high school and go on tour with Everlast, Ice T and Rhyme Syndicate.
Toby: After the tour was over Everlast asked Daniel O'connor, aka Danny Boy to join their new group House of Pain as a 2nd rapper and hype man. So here's a question for you Joe. Do you have any idea on how the group got their name?
Joe: From what I understand it's from a book right?
Toby: Yes sir. It's from the HG Well's The Isle of Dr. Moreau.
Joe: I'll have to go back and read that one. It certainly seems like someone was paying attention in English class.
Toby: Shout out to all the English teachers out there. So House of Pain was formed around 1990 and released their first album House Of Pain: Fine Malt Liquor on July 21st, 1992. Our second featured track was the lead single. Let's take another listen to "Jump Around."
Joe: This song reached No. 3 in the US, No. 6 in Ireland and No. 8 in the UK. Besides "Shoot Your Shot," one of the other samples used on this track is Chubby Checker's "Popeye the Hitchhiker."
🔊"Popeye the Hitchhiker"
Toby: I had no idea Popeye was a hitchhiker. I always thought he was just a sailor man.
Joe: I am surprised as you are, though according to Chubby Checker's lyrics, no one picked him up. Maybe that's why he took to the high seas.
Toby: Well, I don't think we can pass up Chubby Checker without playing one of his twist related classics. Joe, would you rather Twist, or Twist Again?
Joe: Let's twist again. You know, like we did last summer. Ahh, those were good times my friend, good times.
🔊"Let's Twist Again"
Toby: Music has started so many dance crazes over the years, with The Twist being one of them. And if you can't dance? Just "Jump Around."
Joe: To say that "Jump Around" has lasted the test of time is an understatement. It's definitely played at every sporting event. You would think that some might get tired of it.
Toby: Well I know I don't — and I'm not alone. Guess what Mrs. Doubtfire, Happy Gilmore, Blackhawk Down, Parks and Recreation, My Name is Earl, and American Dad all have in common?
Joe: What is: they are all syndicated?
Toby: They are movies or tv shows that have featured "Jump Around." Imagine the royalties!
Joe: Speaking of royalties, there is some debate as to where that squealing sound that is so prominent in "Jump Around" actually came from. While most folks attribute it to our first featured track, Junior Walker and the All Stars "Shoot Your Shot," there are those, including Questlove, who say it's actually a Prince sample, and that House of Pain won't acknowledge that because they don't want to pay the royalties. Let's have a listen to Prince's epic scream in "Gett Off:"
🔊"Gett Off"
Toby: Everlast has explicitly stated that it's a horn sample and not Prince, and others have dissected and rebuilt the sample and determined that it is indeed Junior Walker, but one could certainly see how that Prince scream might be the sample. Ironically, there's some debate as to whether that's actually Prince on that scream — some say it's Rosie Gaines, keyboardist and vocalist for his band the New Power Generation.
Joe: And to add one final layer of intrigue, DJ Muggs is the name of the producer who crafted this sonic loveliness. He claims that it is neither Prince nor Junior Walker that was sampled. I guess we'll never know. DJ Muggs is part of the hip hop group Cypress Hill and is responsible for a ton of hits inside and outside of the group. He has produced for the likes of Xzibit, Ice Cube and Funkdoobiest. With such a talented producer there's no way that House of Pain could just settle for just one track. Here's another DJ Muggs produced track from House of Pain's first album. This is "Put Your Head Out" featuring B Real from Cypress Hill.
🔊"Put Your Head Out"
Toby: I wasn't familiar with that track but I was very familiar with the track that he did for Ice Cube's Predator album. Let's listen to "Check Yo Self."
🔊"Check Yo Self"
Joe: That was Ice Cube's Check Yo Self produced by DJ Muggs. Some of our listeners might be more familiar with the remix of this song that was produced by DJ Pooh. Let' take a listen to that.
🔊"Check Yo Self" - Remix
Toby: Great song! Love the way Pooh used the sample from Grand Master Flash's classic track "The Message." We could reminisce all day but I do want to circle back to House of Pain. Following up on the success of their first album, they released their 2nd album entitled Same As it Ever Was in 1994. It didn't get nearly the type of reception as the first album but it did go gold.
Joe: There's a lot of energy that goes into recording a successful album and the fact that Everlast had to record around a gun charge.
Toby: Yeah I hate coming to the studio if I have a sore throat or a sprained ankle. I can't imagine recording with an ankle bracelet and being under house arrest.
Joe: Well, things got worse and eventually the group broke up after their 3rd release entitled Truth Crushed to Earth Shall Rise Again in 1996. On the day that the album was released, Everlast announced that he was going solo.
Toby: Impeccable timing. after disbanding, Danny Boy founded an art company, DJ Lethal joined Limp Bizkit, and Everlast went on to a very successful solo career. House of Pain did reunite for reunion tours in 2010, 2011, and 2017, so apparently they all still get along just fine.
Joe: You mentioned Everlast and his solo career. What do you say we dive into that for this episode's bonus material?
Toby: Good plan, let's get it. So after leaving House of Pain, Everlast released his second solo album, Whitey Ford Sings the Blues, in 1998. That album sold over 3 million copies, went double platinum, and got him a Grammy nomination for the single "What It's Like." Let's listen to that.
🔊"What It's Like"
Joe: In addition to the Grammy nod, "What It's Like" reached #1 on the Mainstream Rock chart and #13 on the Hot 100.
Toby: Everlast was asked by the legendary Carlos Santana to contribute a song to the album Supernatural, which was released in 1999 and went on to become one of the best selling albums in the world with over 30 million copies sold.
Joe: Everlast contributed the song "Put Your Lights On" and recorded it with Santana for the album. It reached #8 on the Mainstream Rock Charts and went on to win the Grammy for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. Let's give that a spin.
🔊"Put Your Lights On"
Toby: Everlast wrote this track while recovering from a heart attack and has has referred to it as one of the most personal songs he's ever written.
Joe: Everlast brought things full circle in September of 2018 with the release of his seventh solo album, Whitey Ford's House of Pain. The album debuted at #21 on the American/Folk Album charts, which is an interesting placement.
Toby: While the title of the album is an obvious reference to his former band, House of Pain, he's stated it's a way to represent everything he's ever done, and to sum it up with "that's all that's left."
Joe: And that's all the time we have left my friend, time to wrap up another episode. So what all did we cover today?
Toby: Our first featured track was "Shoot Your Shot" by Junior Walker and the All Stars, and our next featured track was "Jump Around" by House of Pain.
Joe: Good stuff. What do we have lined up for our next episode?
Toby: Well, there are a lot of factors that go into the success of any relationship. And when things don't work and that person becomes an Ex Factor, you might just have to Be Careful.
Joe: It's true, sometimes you just can't go back to The Way We Were. But on the opposite side of the spectrum, we love the relationship we have with our listeners. Please interact with the show on Instagram @riffsonriffs and on Twitter, @riffsonriffsyo. You can find Toby on social @heiku575, and I'm @sonowats. Hit us up with feedback on the show, episode ideas, or just say hi. And If you dig the show, please leave us an iTunes review, it really helps. We will take you out with a track from Everlast's latest album, Whitey Ford's House of Pain. This is a song called "The Culling" and gets bonus points for use of the word troglodytes. We'll catch you next time on Riffs on Riffs. As always, thanks for listening.

Mothers' education can impact diabetic kids
Manas Mishra from Reuters
Published on MSD Connect: December 2019
All our news articles are sourced from and licenced by NewsCred. Some of the units and values provided in this article are from sources outside the UK. For UK guidance on the management of diabetes, please refer to NICE or your local guidelines.
Family background can matter for the health of diabetic children, according to researchers in Denmark who found young patients' blood sugar control was linked with the level of education their mothers had attained.
"One of the first explanations that comes to mind is that unequal access to healthcare may be a factor linking family background and blood sugar levels," said study leader Nick Nielsen from the department of economics at University of Copenhagen.
But studying people in Denmark, which has universal tax-financed access to healthcare, helped cancel out that factor, he told Reuters Health.
Nielsen and his team analysed data on 4,079 children who were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes between 2000 and 2013. In type 1 diabetes, the rarer form of the disease, the body's immune system mistakenly kills the beta cells in the pancreas that make and release the hormone insulin. Type 1 diabetes requires treatment with insulin injections.
The children were divided into 4 groups, depending on their mother's highest level of education. Altogether, 1,643 had mothers who hadn't gone to college, 1,548 had mothers who completed a vocational or 2-year college course, 695 had mothers with a bachelor's degree and 193 had mothers with a master's degree.
The researchers found that levels of so-called glycated haemoglobin, or HbA1c, which reflects blood sugar control over the previous three months, went down as the mothers' education level went up.
The normal range for HbA1c is 4.3% to 5.8% - but that range is difficult to achieve in diabetics. The American Diabetes Association recommends that children with type 1 diabetes strive to stay below 7.5%.
In the current study, HbA1c levels averaged 7.6% in children of mothers with advanced degrees, 7.9% in children of women with bachelor's degrees, 8.2% in children whose mothers graduated from vocational or 2-year colleges and 8.4% in children of mothers with no more than a high school degree.
Children of better-educated mothers also had lower rates of a dangerous condition known as diabetic ketoacidosis and lower rates of dangerously low blood sugar that can result from overdoses of insulin.
Differences in how often children's blood sugar levels were checked during the day were likely to explain a large part of the disparities, the authors say.
Children of the most highly educated mothers had the highest number of daily blood glucose tests, while those with a high school education or less had the lowest.
Other potential explanations, the authors write, are that mothers with higher education may be more capable of helping manage diabetes and could help their children control their disease.
Links between patient education or socioeconomic status and compliance with treatment has been shown in older studies too.
The study is limited because it was not possible to get information on all mothers and their children in the registries.
Still, the researchers write in Diabetes Care, "For clinicians and policymakers, our results suggest that it may be beneficial to provide extra support to the least privileged children during the first few years of diabetes."
It would also be helpful if healthcare professionals help form patient groups, Nielsen says.
"In these groups, families could help support each other outside the clinic. We think that this increased decentral support could be valuable due to the importance of peer support and "everyday" advice and knowledge sharing," Nielsen added.

Soul, R&B Singer Goapele Returns To Sacramento
Marnette Federis / Capital Public Radio
Soul and R&B songstress Goapele graced Harlow's stage Friday night to treat fans to a repertoire of new songs from her recently released album, Strong As Glass.
While known for her sensual vocals and smooth melodies, Goapele's live shows are as electrifying as any performance. Goapele and her accompanying band kept the audience swaying with soulful riffs and raw instrumentals. Every note emoted passion. Every beat was potent.
Goapele first came to the scene back in early 2000s, and as a Bay Area artist, she's no stranger to Sacramento stages and events. Friday's show was sold out and the line of fans who waited afterward for photos and autographs included folks who knew Goapele as she was coming up in the local music scene.
"I'm really excited," she said during an interview before the show. "It's nice to see people again, I'm getting to a few spots I haven't touched down in a while."
Sacramento was one of her last stops in Northern California before heading to the East Coast for the second part of her tour.
Strong As Glass
Goapele said her new album Strong As Glass maps a person's journey through the various phases of love -- from the joyous highs to the painful lows.
"This album is … [the] heart, soul, and mind of a woman," she said.
Strong As Glass stays true to the neo-soul genre (a sub-genre of R&B), the singer is known for. But there's also a surprising sprinkling of uptempo songs.
Even Goapele is quick to not put herself into just one category. She said she's influenced by too many different styles of music -- jazz, blues, reggae and hip-hop.
"I try not to pay too much attention to the genres and just do what I feel," she said.
The list of songwriters and producers who worked on Strong As Glass boasts music industry heavy hitters, including music producer Keith Harris and singers Estelle and Eric Benet. Goapele said she has known Benet for years and they've always wanted to work together. This project was a chance to do that.
"He is easygoing and quick with melodies," she said. "I enjoyed getting to go back and forth lyrically with him."
Goapele said the album was a lesson in collaboration through the songwriting process.
"In my first couple albums, I wrote all the lyrics and you know, pretty much based on my life or what I was going through," she said.
But this time around, Goapele worked with other artists, learning about their perspectives and experiences.
"So that was a little different for me and just kind of finding myself in each song … [It] was a fun opportunity for me to explore," she said.
Empowerment And Fun
The title track of the album, Strong As Glass, sends the message of empowerment. Goapele said the first time she saw the lyrics to the song, written by Grammy Award winner Estelle, she got chills.
"As a woman, there are days when I feel empowered and strong," she said. "And there moments along the way where I feel like I could breakdown."
The song tries to capture those dichotomies using the image of glass.
Cause I'm only strong as glass
They say I'm built to last but I could break
Yeah I'm only strong as glass and I am all I have so if I break, there's no more
On the opposite end of the spectrum is the album's first single "Hey Boy" -- a flirty and fun anthem also written by Estelle and featuring Snoop Dogg. Goapele said she wanted songs in the new album that fans can both cry and dance to.
"I wanted to have those songs that just feel good," she said. "What I liked about 'Hey Boy' was also that it had kind of a retro feel from live instrumentation."

Goapele's mother is Israeli Jewish from New York and her father is South African. That background, along with her upbringing in Oakland, has helped to mold her into an artist who uses music to talk about issues within a community.
Many of her songs speak to current events. It was no surprise that during her Friday show, she took the time to address the turmoil around the country after grand juries in New York and Missouri declined to charge police officers in the deaths of unarmed black men, Michael Brown and Eric Garner.
Goapele belted out a powerful rendition of Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come," evoking both pain and hope. It's the type of song anyone can wish to hear to during times of tumult -- when there seems to be no end in sight to injustice, violence or protests.
When Goapele was rounding up tracks for the album, she said she looked for a song that spoke beyond the personal experience of love. In light of the unrest over the summer in Ferguson, Missouri, Goapele said she wanted people to think.
"I wanted a song touching on what was going on nationwide ... the intensity of violence but also how I feel like youth from inner cities lives have been undervalued and diminished," she said. "I just wanted something that was going to hit people in the heart. And make them think before they take a life."
That's where the song Perfect came to be part of Strong As Glass. The track was produced by Sacramento native Trackmatik. And while the lyrics could be interpreted as merely a personal experience about fighting for a relationship, it's also a call to action -- to stand up for one's beliefs.
"It was definitely inspired by the statistics in Chicago and Oakland over the summer and thinking about how police are killing youth," she said.
NorCal Connections
Working with Trackmatik is just one example of how Goapele strives to keep her Northern California roots alive. She lives in Los Angeles now, dabbling into other projects like films and acting.
But when asked (as anyone who has moved between Northern and Southern California is always asked) which part of the state she prefers, Goapele looks to the north.
"In my heart the Bay Area will still be home," she said. "As I travel, it kind of makes me appreciate the community vibe and the multicultural aspect of the Bay Area."
But, it's also important to get out and have experiences outside of your hometown, she said.
Goapele on Twitter and Facebook
Among Goapele's band members is backup singer Jessica Jolia, a Sacramento native. Learn more about Jolia and her music here.

Iran begins trial of US journalist held for ten months
The trial of Jason Rezaian has begun — the Washington Post correspondent who has been detained in Iran for almost 10 months. The accusation against Rezaian, in Tehran's words, is of "espionage for the hostile government of the United States of America and propaganda activities against the system".
The Washington Post described Rezaian's prosecution to euronews as "contemptible".
Douglas Jehl, the newspaper's Foreign Policy Editor, said: "Our focus really has been relentless throughout, on trying to win Jason's freedom. We have worked with just about everyone who could possibly help us: governments, private emissaries and others, in hopes that the word could get to Iran that it was ludicrous that they be holding a journalist in the way that they have been holding Jason now for 300 days."
Iran experts in Washington see the case as a sign of a power struggle between rival factions in Tehran.
Reza Marashi, with the National Iranian American Council, and a close friend of Rezaian, said:
"This is a bigger political struggle or political battle inside of Tehran and there are some people in Iran who want to build bridges between Iran and the outside world, and there are some people who want to blow up those bridges while innocent people like Jason are standing on them. They see an Iranian-American journalist like Jason — who has nothing to do with any of the internal political battles in Iran, has nothing to do with US-Iran relations — more broadly. A small group of people who make bad decisions in Iran can use Jason as a pawn."
Our Washington correspondent Stefan Grobe said: "The outcome of the trial is totally unpredictable in a country whose judicial system is described by western experts as inefficient and corrupt. So far, the case has had no influence on the Iran nuclear talks, but the overall diplomatic atmosphere might be poisoned should any harm come to Jason Rezaian."
Grobe talked to Jason's brother, Ali Rezaian, in Washington on the day before the trial began.
Stefan Grobe, euronews: "I can barely imagine the harrowing experience it must have been for you. Tell us, please, how you and your family have gone through this over the last ten months."
Ali Rezaian, brother of Jason Rezaian: "Sure. It has been such a long time that this has been happening, it has been unbelievable. I think all of us have different experiences. My mother lives by herself in Istanbul. She has a wonderful group of friends and family around the world who support her through social media, on the phone and those kind of things, but she is clearly worried for Jason. She lived in Iran for almost a year with Jason, two years ago. So she is very familiar with the culture, and Jason had never had problems like that. For other parts of the family, we have relatives in Iran. Jason's wife [Yeganeh Salehi] is there. She was held for 72 days and then let out on bail. But since then, they still call her, the interrogators call her: 'Where have you been? Why are you out?' and those kind of things. So it hasn't stopped just because she has been out of jail for eight months. For me and myself, I have been working on this. It has really changed my life."
euronews: "How and when did you learn about the trial?"
Ali Rezaian: "About the trial: we were expecting it to happen at about this time, maybe about a month ago, but we didn't know for certain. It wasn't until last week, maybe ten days ago that our lawyer was told by the judge that it could be in about this time frame and then in the middle of last week, it was when they finalised it. What I can tell you is, because Jason is isolated, because Jason doesn't have access to his lawyer or those kinds of things, Jason actually found out about his trial through the press. He watched it on television, and it said 'Jason Rezaian will have his trial on May 26th.' That's how things work over there."
euronews: "Let's talk about the role of the US government. From President Obama on downwards they have spoken out repeatedly on this, trying to have Jason released. How do you see Washington's role in this? Was it appropriate? Was it enough or not enough? What's your take?"
Ali Rezaian: "Well, you know, I'm Jason's brother, [so, to me] nothing is enough until he is out. I don't really do politics but what I can say is, I think, the Iranian government has taken stances that make it difficult for the United States to deal with them. And that's intentional. So, the US government has been supportive all the way along. The question is: how much can they really affect what's going on over there? Because Iran has practice in detaining people, detaining dual nationals and keeping them locked up for a long time. So, we have done our best to understand what's going on, they have done their best to let us know what's happening and, I think, that we have worked well together with the government."
euronews: "And finally, is there any lesson to be learned from this?"
Ali Rezaian: "You know, what I think you learn from this is that it's a place where, while they have rules and they talk about the rules and they talk about the laws, they don't have to follow them. There is nobody there that is going to be held accountable for breaking their own laws, breaking the international commitments and the international laws that they have signed up to. I have talked with dozens and dozens of reporters from the United States, from other countries who have reported in Iran, I have never spoken to one who said: 'Oh yeah, I went over there and they never caused me any problems.' Every one of them has been detained in one way or another. Maybe for two or three hours on the side of the road, maybe for two or three days somewhere at their hotel or even in prison for a week for doing nothing more than going to be a journalist when they were accredited to be there. They were doing their job, they were doing exactly what they said they were going to do when they were approved to go there, at the places and the times when they said they were going to go there. That's the lesson that I take away from it."

Elizabeth Alexander (°1982) makes sculptures, drawings and installations. By taking daily life as subject matter while commenting on the everyday aesthetic of middle class values, Alexander tries to create works in which the actual event still has to take place or just has ended: moments evocative of atmosphere and suspense that are not part of a narrative thread. The drama unfolds elsewhere while the build-up of tension is frozen to become the memory of an event that will never take place.
Her sculptures are given improper functions: significations are inversed and form and content merge. Shapes are dissociated from their original meaning, by which the system in which they normally function is exposed. Initially unambiguous meanings are shattered and disseminate endlessly. By referencing romanticism, grand-guignolesque black humour and symbolism, she creates work through labour-intensive processes which can be seen explicitly as a personal exorcism ritual. They are inspired by a nineteenth-century tradition of works, in which an ideal of 'Fulfilled Absence' was seen as the pinnacle.
Her works are characterised by the use of everyday objects in an atmosphere of middleclass mentality in which recognition plays an important role. By putting the viewer on the wrong track, she often creates work using creative game tactics, but these are never permissive. Play is a serious matter: during the game, different rules apply than in everyday life and even everyday objects undergo transubstantiation.
Her works are often classified as part of the new romantic movement because of the desire for the local in the unfolding globalized world. However, this reference is not intentional, as this kind of art is part of the collective memory. Elizabeth Alexander currently lives and works in Lowell, MA.


As part of its responsibilities under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), the National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics (NCVHS) is responsible for studying, selecting and recommending standards under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). This letter addresses a request made by the Designated Standards Maintenance Organizations (DSMOs) that NCPDP Telecommunication Standard Version 5.1, developed by the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP), is adopted as a HIPAA standard for electronic billing for certain supplies by a retail pharmacy.
NCVHS did not make a recommendation to the Secretary on this issue when it was first raised in 2001. In response to a second request by the DSMO Steering Committee in February 2004, the issue was revisited in a hearing on March 31, 2004. Testimony indicated a business case by retail pharmacies to have a real-time standard under HIPAA for billing for certain supplies, and the current widespread use of the NCPDP Telecommunication Standard by the industry for this purpose. NCVHS recommends the continued use of the NCPDP Telecommunication Standards for billing of supplies that are consumed or used during, or as a consequence of, the administration of a drug therapy or commonly dispensed via a retail pharmacy channel. We also recommend that the Department investigate this issue further, especially as it relates to possible overlaps in the use of NCPDP and X12 standards for the billing of certain supplies by pharmacies.
The DSMO Steering Committee also requested that when supplies are billed by the dispensing pharmacy, the National Drug Code (NDC) be designated as the standard code set that must be used for supplies with the NCPDP standards when an NDC number is available. If there is no NDC, they recommended that the parties may use any codes in the NCPDP Telecommunication Standard that they mutually agree to, such as the Universal Product Code (UPC), the Health Related Item Code (HRI), or the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codes (where non-specific codes will not lead to potential for problems in patient care, fraud and abuse).
Currently, the NDC is the HIPAA standard for reporting drugs and biologics by retail pharmacies, while HCPCS codes were adopted as the HIPAA standard for supplies, equipment and other items without regard to setting. Testimony indicated that the UPC and HRI codes currently are used by the industry to identify supplies on retail pharmacy claims. These codes are used within the NCPDP Telecommunication Standard, but are external code sets that are separately maintained and updated outside of the NCPDP standard setting process. Their continued use is necessary to provide the industry with the level of detail needed to handle claims processing, ordering, supply management or the recall of products. Testifiers noted that HCPCS codes do not provide the specificity needed for the day-to-day operations for retail pharmacies.
NCVHS recommends that the Department allow continued use of UPC and HRI codes within the NCPDP Telecommunication Standard 5.1 and investigate rulemaking if necessary.
NCVHS appreciates the opportunity to provide these recommendations.

On Thursday, September 29, Gonzaga formally broke ground on the new 51,000 sq. ft. Volkar Center for Athletic Achievement. The groundbreaking revealed this namesake in recognition of major benefactors Pat and Sandy Volkar of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
This facility, combined with other spaces in the Martin Centre and McCarthey Athletic Center, will enhance the overall student-athlete experience. The building will house student-athlete support services, a weight room, nutrition center, basketball practice court, Gonzaga Athletics Hall of Fame, and multiple meeting areas.
The top floor of the Volkar Center will be dedicated to helping Gonzaga's student-athletes continue to excel in the classroom. Athletic Director Mike Roth said Gonzaga's student-athletes tied with Dartmouth University in the 2015-2016 academic year for the NCAA's top academic progress rate (APR) over a four-year period.
The Center is scheduled to open Fall 2017.

What a fantastic game from start to finish! The girls were so determined to win and they showed fantastic team work in the 1st quarter, superb passing from Katie, Belle and Clara, great defence from Njeri and 2 superb goals from Gabi but the girls had more in the tank!
As the second quarter produced another 5 goals and only 2 for Cumnor House. Victoria stepping up to take 2 of the goals, great passing from Marissa and Ava helped keep the ball down our end. Sadly Katie sustained an injury but Amelie stepped up to take centre position and was a formidable force with her nimble footwork! The girls gave it one last push in the last quarter as the final whistle went the score line was 10 -4 to Copthorne. Awesome play girls a pleasure to umpire you all !

The last couple of months have flown by! After all the craziness of the Christmas season, we took a couple of weeks in January to catch our breath and pray about the next steps for LifeSpring Church.
We recently met with our team and we feel God is leading us to forge ahead to launch weekly worship gatherings in September! As you can imagine, there's a lot to do between now and then.
Our goal is to recruit and train a launch team of about 50 people in order for our weekly gatherings to be healthy and sustainable. We'll be serving and worshipping together with our partner churches to learn from them and help them any way we can. We'll also continue serving and growing in our LIFEgroups & DNA groups with the goal to launch at least one more LIFEgroup this summer. These groups are all about demonstrating and declaring the Gospel to specific people groups in our community on an ongoing basis. We'll also be hosting free & fun events each month to bless the community and connect with families in our area.
There is no substitute for boots on the ground. Prayer and finances are essential in paving the way but it will be impossible to accomplish God's vision without people who are willing to use their time, talents, and treasures to make an eternal impact for Christ. Please prayerfully consider whether God wants to send YOU to be part of this critical team! "He (Jesus) said to his disciples, "The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields." – Matthew 9:37-38 > Find out more about becoming part of the LifeSpring Launch Team HERE.
Of course it would be great to have many people who are willing to pray and as many as possible who are willing to give. But the greatest impact happens with those who are willing to engage on all 3 fronts!
THANK YOU for praying and partnering with us to connect people in our area to the overflowing life God designed them to live in a relationship with Him! Let us know how we can be praying for you!

Turbulent, trendsetting life of DJ AM spins on in new documentary

DJ AM performs at LAX on Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2009, in the Luxor.

Adam Michael Goldstein, aka DJ AM.
The family of DJ AM yearned for the late DJ's story to be told. Filmmaker Kevin Kerslake wanted to tell it.
But how, exactly? What would such a documentary look like? A family-authorized film about the man who succumbed to the conditions of fame, celebrity and addiction might not tell the whole story.
"Shortly after his death, the family had asked about making a documentary about AM, and I declined," Kerslake said in a phone interview last week. "If the family is going to ask me, I might be a little more cautious about the truth behind his life and death."
But Kerslake had another friend die from a drug overdose. Motivated once more, he returned to AM's family, especially his mother, Andrea.
"I said, 'If I can be 100-percent honest in the final cut and have control of that, I'll do it," he said. "The answer was, 'Yes.' "
The result is the documentary of the man with the given name Adam Michael Goldstein, onstage known as DJ AM, the film titled "As I Am: The Life and Time$ of DJ AM." The doc marks its Las Vegas premiere at 8:30 p.m. today at Brendan Theaters at the Palms. A post-party is set for 10:30 p.m. at Ghostbar.
The film has already screened at the Tribeca and Toronto film festivals and celebrated its world premiere in New York. Critics have largely praised the work, with positive reviews from Rolling Stone, Billboard, Variety and The New York Post.
Kerslake is certainly the man to helm such a project. He knew AM in the latter stages of the star DJ's life leading to his death in his New York apartment on Aug. 18, 2009.
The official cause of death was an accidental overdose of a series of narcotics, among them cocaine, oxycodone, hydrocodone and Lorazepam. A glass pipe and bag of crack were found in his home.
"We had to bring all of that into the project," Kerslake said. "Some of the issues we deal with, addiction and the process of trying to recover, were rooted in his family dynamic. But Andrea said, 'If it can prevent one more death from happening, we have done our job.' "
Kerslake lured stars of music and elsewhere in entertainment to talk of AM. Appearing in front of the camera: Mark Ronson, Diplo, Jon Favreau, DJ Jazzy Jeff, A-Trak, Mix Master Mike, Vice, Z-Trip, Steve Aoki, Paul Oakenfold, LMFAO's Redfoo and Dr. Drew Pinsky.
Performances captured include those by Daft Punk, Justice, Outkast, Elton John, The Doors, The Ramones, Blondie, Black Sabbath, Talking Heads, The Outfield, Fischerspooner, Zoe Keating, Johann Johannsson, Gang Starr, Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five.
The news of AM's death rocked Las Vegas especially, as AM was among the original superstar DJs, mixers and musicians to fill the city's then-burgeoning nightclub scene dating to the early 2000s.
In particular, his stage partnership with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker delivered singularly powerful and musically ambitions late-night sets at such clubs as LAX at Luxor (where AM was an investor), Pure at Caesars Palace and Rain at the Palms.
The shows left both artists soaked in sweat, having unleashed mashes of "I Got a Woman," "Blister in the Sun," "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough" and "Don't Stop Believing." The crowd that spilled out of those venues around 3 a.m., DJ AM time, was sated, to say the least.
As important, the energy produced in these shows generated capacity audiences at these clubs — 2,000 jammed Rain to see AM perform — and helped lead to the current trend of high-priced DJs filling even larger venues such as Hakkasan, Omnia and XS up and down the Strip.
Kerslake was tracking AM for much of his fiery run in Las Vegas, and beyond.
"I shot him when I was doing video for (Electric Daisy Carnival producer) Insomniac, and he had played EDC at the L.A. Coliseum," Kerslake said. "During that process, Adam died, and Pasquale Rotella (founder of Insomniac), who grew up with AM, was my partner, and we decided to dedicate the movie to him."
AM's death also sent a tremor through the Las Vegas recovery community, as he was known to work with a sponsor in town and himself perform 12-step service work. One of the key pieces from AM's life is not a DJ set; it's a 40-minute digital recording of him delivering his message at an A.A. speaker meeting.
"It was his 11th sober birthday, and he stuck a recorder in his pocket," Kerslake said. "He rifles through his autobiography, gives insight to his relationship with his addiction and was helping others — some titanic efforts to help others, where he was endlessly available. Everything is built from that share."
Kerslake struggled with the personal and professional ethics of using that recording in the film.
"Given the anonymity of A.A., if someone else had done it, I might have had a problem," Kerslake said. "But I explored the existence of these shares, and the fact that he recorded it himself showed that he wanted that message out."
Kerslake pinpoints the moment AM's life spun freely back to addiction: The Learjet crash in Columbia, S.C., on Sept. 19, 2008, that Barker and he survived. Four passengers were killed, with AM and Barker suffering serious burns.
"Ultimately, the monster came back, the monster from his past," Kerslake said. "It's cruel and unusual punishment to be dealing with recovery from addiction on a second-by-second basis, which he was, and have this dramatic event."
Kerslake paused, then continued, "I did a lot of research on addiction, substance abuse and learned there's recovery on one side and a slip on the other. Standing between the two is trauma."
AM was just 36 when he died, certainly with a lot of artistic adventure awaiting. I can recall, vividly, one night in particular that ended with Barker and AM at Rain. It was in April 2009. The evening started with a true-to-Las Vegas stage show, Elvis impressionist Trent Carlini at what is now Saxe Theater at Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood.
I had not planned to catch the second end of this evening at Rain but joined a couple of friends at the club. I was blown away by the unbroken performance, how these two guys generated a new form of existing music and thrilled a club full of partygoers.
Many have followed, turning the superstar DJs into multimillionaires and reshaping the entertainment climate in Las Vegas. It is a tragedy that the man who helped start it all didn't survive to see it. But in this film, the music, image and message of DJ AM lives on.
