Club Nouveau Returns

October 10, 2013

NEW YORK, N.Y. (BLACK PR WIRE) – Grammy award winning Club Nouveau, the Pop band formed by record producer Jay King in 1986 returns. After nearly three decades of success, Club Nouveau is reemerging with a soon-to-be released new CD.   Music mogul Jay King and original members, singer/songwriter/arranger Valerie Watson, rejoin Samuelle Praterfor for a number of fresh music projects. King unknowingly launched an empire when he formed the independent label JAY Records, whose first release – the Timex Social Club hit “Rumors” – ushered in the biggest selling single of 1986 (3.5 million copies and #1 R&B single on the Billboard Charts). With a Top 10 single on the Billboard Pop charts for over 56 weeks, the results were history-making as nobody had before taken an R&B song from an indie label to such heights.   Set to deliver the Club Nouveau album Consciousness, in the spring, and as a precursor they will release the single “That Ain’t Love” this month. As well, fans can anticipate the “Club Nouveau Greatest Hits” project in the fall of 2014; offering previously unreleased versions of “Rumors” & “Thinking About You.”
Track Record of Hits  Rumors 1986 #1 R&B (Billboard) #8 Pop (Billboard) Jealousy 1986 #8 R&B (Billboard)  Situation No.9 1986 # 4 R&B (Billboard)  Lean On Me 1987 # 1 Pop (Billboard) # 2 R&B (Billboard)  Why You Treat Me So Bad 1987 # 2 R&B (Billboard) # 39 Pop (Billboard)  Heavy On My Mind 1987 #42 R&B (Billboard)  It’s A Cold Cold World 1988 #34 R&B (Billboard)  Envious 1988  Francis 1988  You Ain’t No Friend Of Mine 1989 #12 R&B (Billboard)  Oh Happy Day 1992 #45 R&B (Billboard)  When Will You Come Back To Me 1992  Let It Go 1995  What Kind Of Love 1998

Football Hornets Receive Weekly Honors

Birmingham Times

October 10, 2013

MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Alabama State University has four football players receiving weekly honors following ASU’s 49-30 win over Alcorn State this past weekend.
Senior Carlton Jones, Shreveport, La., leads the group of honorees being named the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) Defensive Player of the Week. He was also named to the College Football Performer’s Award (CFPA) List as a defensive lineman.
Jones had eight tackles (2 solo, 6 assists) from his defensive end position. He also had a game-high three tackles behind the line of scrimmage (-20 yards) and two sacks (-15 yards). He had one of the two forced fumbles the ASU defense registered.
Kourtney Berry has been named the SWAC Newcomer of the Week. The redshirt freshman from Merrillville, Ind., led ASU with 13 tackles (7 solo, 6 assists). He had a sack (-7 yards), two tackles for lost yardage (-10 yards) and a pass break up. He also recovered a fumble which he returned 30 yards that was turned into a Hornet touchdown. It is his second weekly SWAC honor of the year after being named earlier as the Defensive Player of the Week following the Arkansas-Pine Bluff game.
Another senior, Bobby Wenzig, has been named the SWAC Specialist of the Week. Wenzig knocked down all seven of his extra points and averaged 43.7 yards per punt on nine punts. Two of those were downed inside the 20 and his long was 53 yards.
Isaiah Crowell, Columbus, Ga., was named to the CFPA Running Back List following his 19-carry, 133 yard effort against Alcorn State. He also rushed for a career-high four touchdowns. It was the third time this season he has been named to the List.

Birmingham Hair Show

Birmingham Times

October 10, 2013

By Lauren Harris

In 2012, the first Birmingham Hair Show came to the Birmingham Jefferson Convention Complex. The runway was ablaze with a combination of wild hair creations, riveting demonstrations and a brief fashion show from local designer, Willie Shank. Vendors from the Birmingham area crowded about, selling hand crafted jewelry, makeup and hair products to an astounding turnout of participants.
On Oct.13th The Birmingham Hair Show is returning and its producers are hoping to transform it into a local tradition.
The main goal of the show is to recognize the collaborations between stylists while celebrating the many talents hidden in Birmingham and its surrounding areas. The Birmingham Hair Show showcases styles from salons such as Salon 99, Randall’s Grooming Lounge, and Naturally Yours Salon, proving that there is no reason for the city’s nickname of “Boring-ham” to exist.
Gigi Beasley, the director of this year’s show and a Birmingham native, has worked hard to organize the hair show’s second debut. As a retired stylist, Beasley is also a member of the Birmingham Stylists, an organization with a mission of creating a common platform for Birmingham’s beauty and media industries. The organization connects the disciplines of hairstylists, makeup artists, models, videographers, photographers, event planners and more while creating events that highlight the talents of its members. The Birmingham Stylists organization is also presenting this year’s show.
“I love this industry,” Beasley says, “I like the world of fashion and beauty. So when the opportunity came along to be a part of this group, it wasn’t hard to decide.”
Beasley isn’t the only one excited about the show. Betty Webb, a stylist for 37 years, is looking forward to see the show’s turnout. Webb, also a member of the Birmingham Stylists, has participated in Atlanta’s Bronner Brother’s shows, attended “cut parties”, and has even done consulting work. However, she never had the opportunity to help host a hair show before the first Birmingham Hair Show.
“We have some of the most talented and gifted stylists here [in Birmingham] who are just looking for a stage to shine on,” Webb began, “viewers will see a time capsule of hair and fashion from 1963 to 2013. We are also doing a special commemoration for the civil rights era called ‘Remember the Time’.”
Those who attend the 2013 Birmingham Hair Show can expect to see an array of looks ranging from the beautiful bouffants of the ’60s to the amazing afros of the ’70s and the magnificent mullets of the ’80s.
The Birmingham Hair Show will be held Oct. 13 at the Civil Rights District’s Harambe Room, 1813 4th Avenue North, Birmingham Alabama; doors open at 4p.m. For ticket information call (205) 222-9582, (205) 746-6557, (205) 383-7097, or (205) 356-2206.

Use of Force to be Studied in DC Police Chase

Birmingham Times

October 10, 2013

By Eric Tucker, Larry Neumeister, Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Police in Washington are reviewing the use of officers’ deadly force in the killing of a woman who tried to ram her car through a White House barrier, a shooting her family says was unjustified. The investigation will reconstruct the car chase and shooting, which briefly put the U.S. Capitol on lockdown, and explore how officers dealt with the driver and whether protocols were followed. Senate Sergeant at Arms Terrance Gainer said he was confident the officers “did the best they could under the situation.” Police guarding national landmarks must make fast decisions without the luxury of all the facts, especially when a threat is perceived, he said. “This is not a routine highway or city traffic stop. It is simply not that,” Gainer said Saturday. “The milieu under which we’re operating at the United States Capitol and I suspect at the White House and at icons up in New York is an anti-terrorism approach, and that is a difference with a huge, huge distinction.” Capitol Police Chief Kim Dine said that while the shooting remains under investigation, he was proud of his officers’ “heroic” response and their overall efforts in protecting the Capitol campus and keeping it open for visitors. Still, the family of 34-year-old Miriam Carey called the shooting unjustified, and some deadly force experts agree it merits scrutiny. “We’re still very confused as a family why she’s not still alive,” Amy Carey-Jones said in New York late Friday after traveling to Washington to identify Miriam Carey’s body. “I really feel like it’s not justified, not justified.” Another sister, retired New York City police officer Valarie Carey, said there was “no need for a gun to be used when there was no gunfire coming from the vehicle.” Secret Service agents and Capitol Police officers fired shots during the Thursday afternoon encounter, which began when Carey — in a black Infiniti with her 1-year-old daughter — rammed a White House barricade and was pursued by police toward the Capitol during a high-speed chase. D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier said she was confident after the shooting that Carey’s actions were “not an accident,” but the department’s internal affairs division is investigating as part of standard protocol. Carey struck a Secret Service agent with her car at the White House and reversed her vehicle into a police car, authorities say. A Capitol Police officer was also injured. Both are expected to recover. Experts in the use of deadly force said there were more questions than answers at this point. Many police departments direct their officers not to fire at moving vehicles — even if the driver is using the car as a weapon — or permit it under extremely limited circumstances. And experts wondered whether police should have relied on other options, such as establishing a roadblock, to diffuse the situation. “I think the question we have to ask is, ‘What threat did she cause?” said Geoffrey Alpert, an expert on police use of force at the University of South Carolina. “What threat was she to the officers, to the public, to the politicians?” Chuck Drago, a former Oviedo, Fla., police chief who now works as a police consultant, said he was concerned officers approached the vehicle on foot while the conflict was still unfolding. That kind of direct contact can elevate the tension of an already dangerous scenario and leave an officer feeling anxious and vulnerable, he said. “Their main concern should have been trying to keep that vehicle from moving, and then exposing themselves only adds to the danger and lessens their options in the long run,” Drago said. Authorities were investigating why Miriam Carey, who lived in Connecticut, turned up in Washington on Thursday. A search warrant application for Carey’s car seeks bullet fragments, maps or other documents pertaining to the White House, alcohol or drugs, “and/or evidence of a mechanical malfunction or lack thereof.” A federal law enforcement official said Friday that her mental health appeared to be deteriorating in the last year and that she was apparently under the delusion the president was communicating with her. The official was briefed on the investigation but not authorized to discuss it publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. Her family said she had been suffering from postpartum depression with psychosis but was not dangerous. Carey-Jones said her sister had been on medication for postpartum depression but was being taken off the drugs under medical supervision. “They told her she could get off medication,” Carey-Jones said, adding, “There were no indications she was unstable.” Valarie Carey questioned the characterizations of her sister’s mental health and said Miriam Carey “did not believe the president or any government official was going to do her harm.” But interviews with some of those who knew the Stamford, Conn., woman suggested she was coming apart well before she loaded her daughter into the car for the 275-mile drive to Washington. She had suffered a head injury in a fall and had been fired as a dental hygienist about a year ago, her former employer said. Carey’s mother, Idella Carey, told ABC News that she began suffering from postpartum depression after giving birth in August 2012 and was hospitalized but had no history of violence. After Carey rammed the barricades at the White House, police chased her down Constitution Avenue to the Capitol, where she was shot. At one point near the Capitol, police say, she stopped her car abruptly, drove over a median strip and put the vehicle into reverse and refused to stop. She was then shot. Carey’s daughter escaped serious injury and was taken into protective custody. The woman’s family hasn’t identified the child’s father. Gainer said he hasn’t seen any indication officers knew the child was in the car when they fired. “There’ll be lessons to be learned from this,” Gainer said. “There’ll be recommendations to be made about, ‘Could we have done this, or should we do that?’” Carey’s death comes less than three weeks after a shooting rampage in Washington that also involved an apparently unstable person. On Sept. 16, gunman Aaron Alexis shot and killed 12 people at the Washington Navy Yard before being shot by police. Alexis, a defense industry employee and former Navy reservist, said in writings left behind that he was driven to kill by months of bombardment with electromagnetic waves. (Photo: AP)

Celebration of the Fragrant of Life
Rev. Joseph R. Reid

The new minister stood at the church door greeting the members as they left the Sunday morning service. Most of the people were very generous telling the new minister how much they liked his message, except for one man who said, “This was a very dull and boring sermon, pastor.” A few minutes later, the same man again appeared in line and said, “I don’t think you did much preparation for your message.” Once again, the man appeared, this time muttering, “You really blew it. You didn’t have a thing to say, pastor. “Finally, the minister could stand it no longer. He went to one of the Elders and inquired about the man. “Oh, don’t let that guy bother you,” said the Elder. “He’s a little slow; all he does is go-around repeating whatever he hears other people saying.” And so it goes. There is nothing new under the sun, or is there? The problem is many of us fail to see our belief in Christ as always new. We become accustomed to doing church and missing Christ. If we don’t learn to appreciate the fragrance of life that’s found in Jesus Christ we will continue to focus too much on performing our religious belief and forget to live them.
Jesus’ disciples were confronted by the followers of John the Baptist about not fasting. They wanted to know why Jesus was not sad and did not advocate that His disciples be sad, ascetic and serious. Why Jesus did not make them fast? This was not Jesus’ way. He made it clear that while he was here on earth, there should be great celebration. “Jesus said to them, “The wedding guests cannot mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them, can they? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.” Jesus made it clear that life should be a feast not a fast. It should be a commemoration not a cause for sorrow and misery. When we found the Lord, our belief was young, alive, and fresh. We celebrated our newness in Christ. We rejoiced in our salvation. It was a feast. It was life-enhancing, life-affirming. Now that we have been Christians for a while our beliefs have become old, they are no more a cause for joy. We drag to church some Sundays – if we go at all – and can’t wait to get out! The spiritual fragrance has been lost. We have become the frozen chosen. And those of us who are not cold and emotionless get lost in the messenger not the message.
There are two ways of celebrating the fragrance of Life that Jesus is: First, by keeping our belief in Christ new and alive. Jesus says, “No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old cloak, for the patch pulls away from the cloak, and a worse tear is made.” Jesus was telling us to celebrate our life in Him. Life in Christ is always new. Every moment it is new, it is never old. He said, “No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment.” A new, fresh, young belief in God never fits with a tradition. Our beliefs are alive. Presence! A tradition is good to remember the good of days, but it is only a memory. In order to keep our belief in Jesus Christ new we must stay in touch with Him on a daily basis in our prayers and meditation. Church is good but we should make merry, not just on Sunday, but every day.
Second, we celebrate the sweet-scent of life that Jesus is by experiencing our belief in Him as extraordinary. Jesus says, “Neither is new wine put into old wineskins; otherwise, the skins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the skins are destroyed; but new wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved.” Only a new religion – just born, fresh, and original – can celebrate. Then celebration fits with it. It can love, trust, can enjoy. Jesus says, “Neither do men put new wine into old bottle.” The followers of John asked, “Why don’t your disciples fast?” and Jesus answered. There are things which can only be said in an indirect way. You cannot indicate them directly we must experience them by living. Here is the point; the fragrance of life is having the company of Jesus all the time. We should express joy in that presence 24 hours a day. And when our time is up we can continue to dwell with Him forever.

American Idol Taylor Hicks to perform at Tailgate for a Cure concert

Birmingham Times

October 10, 2013

By Jessica Jones
Taylor Hicks, the season five winner of American Idol, will be headlining at the Tailgate for a Cure concert and football party to be held on Oct 12, at the Oak Mountain Amphitheatre from 10 a.m.-10 p.m.
The proceeds will benefit the Alabama Institute of Medicine to fund research for a cure for advanced stem cell research that restores the function of cells and tissues damaged by cancer.
Hick’s upcoming appearance comes on the tail of his Sep. 15 visit to Birmingham for a concert at Linn Park, held on the final day of Empowerment Week, a week of 50 years post-Civil Rights celebrations that culminated on a commemoration of the bombing of the Sixteenth Baptist Church.
“I definitely think that Alabama has really moved forward,” Hicks said in reference to his Sept. 15 appearance. “I’m very proud at this time to be in Alabama and be in Birmingham because we have moved forward like we have.”
Hick’s American Idol victory was only the beginning of a string of successful accomplishments. After being named an American Idol, Hick’s single “Do I Make You Proud” entered the Billboard Hot 100 Pop 100 chart at #1 and the Singles Sales Chart.
Celebrity has given him more than one home now, but Hicks, who graduated from Hoover High School, said Birmingham still has a special place in his life.
“I love coming back and meeting family and friends and being able to perform for the great causes there,” Hicks said. “I love the people of my home city and we’re a very proud community and we’re a very proud state.”
Hicks said that Alabama, a state he considers to be full of different musical styles, played a key role in his musical career.
“There are so many different styles of music in Alabama,” Hicks said. “We’re in the heart of the South so I think there are a lot of genres of music that we pick up; we’ve got a little bit of gospel, obviously delta blues, some country. So I think it’s good to be right in the Heart of Dixie. Hicks also cites Nat “King” Cole and The Temptations as soulful influences on his music.
In addition to his Birmingham performance, Hicks can also be seen at The Paris Hotel in Las Vegas, where he has residency.
The Tailgate for a Cure has been dubbed “Birmingham’s Biggest Tailgate Party” and is part of the Alabama Institute of Medicine’s effort to raise $10 million before April 2014.
Tickets for Tailgate for a Cure can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com or at LiveNation.com.

Time for a Dignified Minimum Wage

Birmingham Times

October 10, 2013

By Benjamin Todd Jealous

This summer, minimum wage workers in California abandoned their posts at fast food restaurants and retail stores for spots on the picket line. They joined workers in cities across the country to demand an increase in the minimum wage.
Their efforts paid off last month when California Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill to raise the state minimum wage over the next three years to $10 an hour.
For the first time in years, widespread minimum wage reform is a real possibility, and we need to keep the pressure on. The current federal minimum wage is inadequate, outdated, and out of touch with the modern cost of living. In this country, a full-time job should be enough to keep a family above the poverty line and off of welfare.
Imagine a mother working a steady, full time, year round job at the federal minimum wage – $7.25 an hour. Her annual salary will amount to just $15,080. That puts her below the poverty line for a family of two, and well below the poverty line for a family of four. To make matters worse, her paltry salary depreciates in value each year, since the federal minimum wage is not tied to inflation.
At this rate, she could put in 45, 50 or even 60 hour weeks in an effort to keep her family off welfare, but she would still qualify for – and most likely need – public assistance.
This is hardly a hypothetical situation. Thirty-three U.S. states and territories use the federal minimum wage, and there are over three million mothers and fathers just getting by on full-time jobs. These are not the unemployed. These are not the underemployed. These are the over employed and underpaid.
It is a travesty that millions of Americans work full time but still struggle to support their families. They are making a decision to be hard-working employees and responsible parents, but their employers are also making a decision – to pay them poverty wages.
Raising the minimum wage is imperative, and the potential cost to businesses and consumers is less than you might think. According to a recent study by DEMOS, raising the federal minimum wage to $12.25 ($25,000 for a full-time, year round worker) would cost large retailers just 1 percent of total annual sales, and it would cost consumers just 12 to 18 cents extra per shopping trip. At the same time, this change would lift more than 700,000 people out of poverty.
There are several opportunities to make this a reality. In November, New Jersey voters will decide whether to raise the state minimum wage to $8.25 and tie it to the cost of living. President Obama recently suggested increasing the federal minimum wage to $9. Even below the Mason-Dixon Line, two Maryland counties are considering bills to raise their minimum wage to $11.25.
It is time for a new social contract for people at the bottom of the economic ladder. We need to stand up with workers in California and other states and demand a dignified minimum wage on the federal level and in our communities. We can no longer afford not to.

Benjamin Todd Jealous is the president and CEO of the national NAACP.

Local designer Pamela Collins opens boutique in Galleria Mall

The Galleria Mall in Hoover has a new addition. It’s taken two years to acquire a store front, but Cloochie, a clothing line named after owner Pamela Collins’ mother, now has a home in a cozy boutique on the first level of the mall, next to Belk. The boutique opened for business Oct.2. Collins describes her designs as “clean lines with an edgy style.”
“Cloochie is one of my lifelong dreams to design and be in a mall setting,” Collins said.
Before the move into the new location, Collins sold her clothing through word of mouth and on her website. Her clothing has also been in four different boutiques in Birmingham, Tuscaloosa and Atlanta.
Collins’ mother, Zubia Lee Saltmarch, also known as Cloochie, designed and sewed clothes until her death in 1993. Collins describes her mother as someone who was an active member in the church and loved to help others. She was such an inspiration that Collins includes her mother’s legacy in her business.
The store offers clothes in sizes 2 to 20 without compromising the integrity of the design, an important attribute for her store because of the lack of options for larger women.
“We carry that style all the way from the petite all the way to plus size,” Collins said. “So what a size six can wear, we’ll have it in a size 20. It’s important because a lot of plus size women, they don’t want to look different. They want to look the same as a smaller framed woman; they want to be just as sexy.”
Collins also values the versatility of her pieces.
“At Cloochie our clothes transition from day into night. We have a lot of unexpected touches to our clothes that give them that extra punch that you just don’t find everywhere.”
The clothes are designed by Collins. She then uses different manufacturers to produce the clothing. First the clothes are sampled to friends and family, people who can give honest feedback on the garments. Once she sees the product is a hit, she puts the product into production.
Knowing what sells and what won’t is an integral part of the business and possibly the most important, which begs the question: how do designers stay ahead of the trends.
For Collins trend following isn’t a problem; she simply disregards them, preferring to do her own trendsetting.
“I go with my gut,” she said. “When I love it and I let my friends see it…I just roll with it when it’s just popular with the ladies and they have good feedback.”
Collins considers accessories to an outfit just as important as the clothing. She’s hired an in- house designer to create new concepts for her jewelry. The designs are made with the intention of complementing the clothing, allowing customers to effortlessly change up their style.
“You don’t have to struggle to make an outfit work,” Collins said. With the right accessories, Collins says that it’s possible to “bring the look together so it can pop.”
In this year’s autumn collection, Collins said, the colors will be classically neutral with black, grey and taupe as base colors, but will also feature a touch of color with berry, and gold.
Although it’s early in the autumn season, Collins said she and her team have already begun preparing the spring collection which will include bright blue and pink hues for the season.
