 | The Blue Shoe Project Presents: Blues Legend Henry Gray Blues Legend Henry Gray performs at Tarrant County Community College. About The Blue Shoe Project: Students Should Experience the Blues - The Blue Shoe Project was founded to keep the blues alive by exposing students to the few blues legends still alive and able to pass on their legacy in person by teaching students about the profound impact of the blues on our music history. The Legends of the Blues and those influenced by it are aging or passing and with it their rich history and culture. These legendary figures made a profound impact on American Music and our society and students at all levels should know it, be proud of it and experience it. One of the ways we accomplish this objective is to bring Artists into the classroom for students to experience living history. Whether an industry legend, or a practicing Artist of the Blues, our Education Programs provide students a true appreciation for and a valuable understanding of the history, style, and impact of the Blues, even an opportunity to "play the Blues". The Blue Shoe Project tailors the delivery of blues education to elementary through college students. Programs feature professional, and in some cases "legendary" musicians who are passionate about sharing their extraordinary talent and telling their inspiring stories to students of all ages. Blues is America's Gift to the World - As a country, there is one thing we have undeniably given the world that no other culture can lay claim to, our music. Blues music. Travel outside the US and its Blues they idolize. From the UK to Japan, to South America, Blues above all is the music of all music. One of the reasons Blue Shoe is so passionate about educating Texas students about the blues is the role Texas played in the evolution of blues. Texas was the birthplace of some of the most legendary and influential figures in music history, let alone blues history, including Blind Lemon Jefferson ,T-Bone Walker, Lightnin' Hopkins and Freddie King, to name just a few from a very long list of Texan blues greats. Add the fact that a significant portion of rock-n-roll artists from the '50s through the '70s looked to Texas blues artists for their inspiration. Given this rich history, Blue Shoe believes that Texas should be taking its rightful place by promoting its blues heritage, starting in our schools.

 | Henry Peng This past year my aunt became the first person in my family to be diagnosed with cancer. It came as a shock to my whole family and we all were very worried. We gave her support and encouragement but I knew it wasn't enough for what she was going through. While driving my aunt to chemotherapy and seeing her go bald I knew that I could do more than just give her my support. When I found out about the Hopkins4K, I knew this was the perfect way to give hope and support to my aunt and to use her story to inspire others. I will never be able to cure cancer because I am not gifted in medicine, but this is a small way in which I can show that I care. The 4,000 mile ride is going to be long and tough, but it will never compare to the journey cancer patients face each day. While riding across the United States I hope to touch as many people as I can because I know everyone I meet will touch me in a significant way. Future Goal: Create microfinance institutions to help bring people in third world countries out of poverty. |

 | CRYING MY HEART OUT For the record this song was written by John Henry Hopkins Jnr and JC Johnson and was sung by such illustrious singers as Doris Day and Ella Fitzgerald... and now me. It's a bit of a girly song, but don't let that put you off. I just enjoy the guitar part that I worked out having heard an old vinal recording. |

 | CIA analyst Mel Goodman speaks in Lancaster - Part 1 4/9/07 Former CIA analyst Mel Goodman speaks at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pa. in April of 2007. Goodman goes into the history of the CIA and the intelligence failures of the organization that helped to lead the U.S. into a war with Iraq. Goodman is a senior fellow and director of the National Security Program at the Center for International Policy in Washington, D.C., and an adjunct professor of government at Johns Hopkins University. He is former chairman of the International Relations Department at the National War College, and from 1966 to 1990 was division chief and a senior analyst at the CIA's Office of Soviet Affairs. Before that he was a senior analyst at the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research, and an intelligence adviser to the strategic arms limitation talks in Vienna and Washington, D.C. I've included a story I wrote on the event: Mel Goodman sees the Central Intelligence Agency in crisis and few remedies to bring it back from the brink of failure. The former senior CIA analyst for Soviet Affairs from 1976 to 1986 spoke for more than an hour Monday afternoon at Franklin & Marshall College, discussing "The Failure of Intelligence: The Decline and Fall of the CIA." Goodman said the CIA has existed for almost 60 years and has produced a mix of success and controversy and created a need for secrecy that works counterintuitively to the ideals of democracy. "Here is an agency that has existed in a world of controversy," Goodman said. "So it shouldn't be any surprise that there's still controversy surrounding the CIA." Goodman focused on the history of the CIA, including its successes in strategic intelligence and verification and monitoring of arms treaties. He said the CIA was the first government agency to anticipate the split between the Soviet Union and China in the 1970s, leading to the Triangular Diplomacy under President Nixon and Henry Kissinger. However, Goodman said, the tactical intelligence branch of the CIA has been a different story. He said it is difficult to anticipate events that come as a surprise to the international community, giving the example of the Chinese entry into the Korean War. Goodman left his harshest criticism for the clandestine activities and espionage branch of the CIA. He said too many people in government tend to put too much faith in espionage and regime change through clandestine activities. Goodman said the worst decision ever made by a president was George W. Bush's resolve for war with Iraq for regime change. He said all analysts needed to look at was the CIA's record of regime change to see disastrous consequences, including installing the Shah of Iran in the 1950s leading to the Islamic revolution in 1979. "When you look at the strategic side of clandestine activities, particularly covert action, I would say there have been no strategic successes that I can think of and very serious strategic failures," he said. Goodman also talked about CIA intelligence used by Bush to justify the war with Iraq. He said in the run-up to war nearly every piece of evidence given by the administration was challenged and has proven to be false. He said the day after former Secretary of State Colin Powell's speech to the United Nations about Saddam Hussein's supposed weapon's program, the Washington Post ran seven op-ed pieces with every one taking up Powell's argument. The speech consisted of more than 20 points, Goodman said, that all proved to be false, and it was written by then-CIA director George Tenet and deputy director John McLaughlin. Goodman said in the last 20 years the CIA has become too political and not focused enough on nonbiased intelligence. "Bush looks at intelligence the way he looks at all government agencies — they are there to be politicized," he said. Goodman said he is concerned about what he sees as the erosion of the Constitution and civil liberties in America since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. "We have given up a lot of what we stand for as a people, in terms of the meaning of America," Goodman said. "Right now I'm not prepared to give up any more." |
