U.S. District Judge Alan S. Gold set a July 13 hearing on the IRS lawsuit, unless an agreement is reached first. UBS claims that turning over the account names would violate Swiss privacy law and jeopardize the bank’s license to stay in business. “Such violations would expose these (UBS) employees to substantial prison terms, as well as fines, penalties and other sanctions,” the UBS lawyers said in a court filing last week. “There is simply no reason to have, nor equity in having, such an expedited process here.”

Say Man…..I was Just listening to Craig and Jim Brenan from Alberta ,Canada. These cats are co-leaders of a Jazz combo called “ The Brenan Brothers” Band. Super-hip young cats that have really heard and felt the music that has come before them. Trombonist Craig , and , Saxophonist , Jim have achieved a blues laden laid back funky nasty Jazz style that has all of the 60’s genre right down to the pigfeet and beer. The supporting cast of , Rubim de Toledo Bass , Terrell Stafford Trumpet , Dana hall , Drums, and Jamie Saft , Keyboardist/Producer, ,deliver a drive that makes the horns and the listener have to hold on for dear life. For a top grade musical experience check out this group. SUPER CHOPs!

Luara Hull has the same full from the gut power that came out of Rosemary Clooney, Carmen Mcrae . and , patsy cline. This rich , sultry, album has the sound of Manhattan Café Society down to a T. With her jazz ensemble she is wowing audiences all over the east coast. Give this one a listen.

Canadian guitarist Ralf Buschmeyer has put together a very interesting mix of jazz, blues ,and funk styles all done in fresh new way. Take a listen to how he plays off the bass and drums to give the listener a feeling of motion. This is definitely the music I like to hear when I just want to feel good and groove. For a fun time check out Boos Delight. That song makes me laugh out loud it is so well done.

June April’s music features an infectious neo-soul groove right out of Harlem. Strong, yet, sensitive , April uses her vocal talent to express her wide range of intense inspiring thoughts. Try listening to Fear Vs. Faith. You’ll agree with me that this is a brave new voice in Jazz.

One of Kaplan’s best albums, LOUNGING AROUND, captures the mood and ambience of a small, hot jazz combo as if they were mesmerizing a martini-sipping crowd at an intimate lounge in any city, U.S.A.

Ron Kaplan's LOUNGING AROUND and his other CDs are available at online sites (such as cdbaby.com, towerrecords.com), digital download locations (including iTunes.com, rhapsody.com) and Kaplan's own ronkaplan.com.

Tim Ballard Easy Does IT This is one of the finest musical efforts I have heard from any independent artist in over 40 years. Easy does it does it for me. This production has been recorded and mastered to the highest standards available with today’s technology. Tim’s mellow voice puts me in mind of the great male vocalists of who have given renditions of the great American songbook. Listen for just a minute and you hear the influences of the musical standard bearers that shaped Tim’s own original approach to Jazz and pop standards. The choice of tunes gives the album a unique credibility seldom achieved by today’s artists. Rich orchestrations played in an impeccable manner support Tim’s rich full tone as he glides effortlessly over some of the most demanding charts ever written by our finest composers. Songs such as; Midnight Sun , Don’t Misunderstand , and Angel Eyes bring back memories of a time when vocalists spoke to the heart of life with style and grace. I highly recommend this very attractive album. Jeff Jones The House Of jeffness.org

In 1789 this country faced a mountain of debt incurred during the revolutionary war. As the first secretary of the treasury, Alexander Hamilton put forth a plan to deal with the national debt called assumption. This would call for the federal government to buy up all of the nations debt,as well as the debt of the individual states. This Hamilton thought would bind the nation together in a common cause. What resulted was a dinner table compromise that moved the nations capital from New York to Washington D.C. Once again following a war the public is being asked to assume the nations debt,but this time it is to save Wall street.

The Federal Reserve Act Of 1913 A Harbor for criminals Michael Meehan and a small group of men formed a pool to buy RCA stock at the ground level price. After planting stories in the papers using stooge reporters , the price was manipulated to a price 50% higher. At this point everybody wanted to buy at the high price before it was too late to get in on the deal. It was already too late. People bought on margin, that is to say that they put down 10% of the value. When the price fell due to” THE Pool” dumping stock(selling below market value) ,the call went out to put in more money to hold the stock bought on credit. At the same time credit was not available because of 20% interest rates. In today’s mess no one put down any amount of money as security , they just signed for it. Buy now pay later. We always get stuck with the pay later part. This is not an accident. Hold your taxes…… See how the big boys cry when the people they ask for a bailout tell them to let it fall. Institutions seeking help from the people should do public service in order to earn the money. Roger Babson sounded the alarm in 1927. Can you hear the bell toll yet? It tolls for thee.

What do you mean that people are still homeless? You just said that the government can bail out banks and big business , yet you want to still say there is no money to help the poor. Why don’t you print some more worthless paper and get food and shelter to those who may die tonight in the winter cold? No one is going to spend money until we see that the country is at least looking for the right course. Please put the homeless on the agenda as well. These people deserve some kind of medal for persevering for so long. As you fix the roads and bridges to put people back to work , couldn’t you put these precious ones in line for some form of inclusion in the reconstruction plan. We may be wasting a great resource. If not , now ,When?

We need a paradigm shift As you prepare to move us forward towards a new beginning, please remember the things your grandma said. Yes , I know about your schooling , and the worlds way of doing things that you had to master,but for the sake of humanity , please remember what grandma said. They will try to tell you it can't be done,but you know better. Just remember also that america eats it's heros,therefore continue to be your humble excellent self. And always remember what grandma said....Go with God

We need a year of Jubilee. In times gone by wise people knew that some would fall on hard times and would need help if the system itself was to survive. Our present day leaders have forgotten that every seven years all debts were forgiven. In this way everyone was given a chance to begin again, and the king would always have someone to rule over. The waters of Babylon are troubled because the same one-percent are attempting to control wealth forever. Therefore push for a national day of debt cancellation. Refuse to bail out those who would foreclose on you.

Give it to the poor As more and more Americans battle obesity,and scare resources for providing food for themselves our government has decided to stock the food pantries with more starch. Is it any wonder why the cheapest foods are the most responsible for the epidemic in diabetes. The well off can afford to shop for healthy whole foods,while the poor are left with the only food they can afford. Beans and processed foods such as white rice. Is it any wonder why the poor are at the greatest risk for illness?

What resulted was a dinner table compromise that moved the nations capital from New York to Washington D.C. Once again following a war the public is being asked to assume the nations debt,but this time it is to save Wall street. We need another compromise. Cancel the interest.Pay ten cents on the dollar,or go bust. The congress should issue currency backed by gold as the constitution stated.

Could it be that a few powerful men actually control the flow of world events thru the manipulation of money issued from central banks, determined to destroy the middle class of all nations? Could it be that your job was shipped overseas so that the goods produced by slave labor could make a 1000% profit for a few powerful elite. Could it be that the wealth of these men was made from the slave and dope trade,and the engineering of world wars. Could it be that the time to buy stock is when these men decide to wreck the ship so that they can buy the world for pennies on the dollar while children and old ladies starve to death and veterans have no benefits. Could it be that the life savings of so many hard working people has been wiped out over night with no explaination again?

As I walked alone beside the waters edge it crossed my mind that if I had some one to share this with, my life would be so much better than it is now. I would like to talk about my dreams and hopes with someone who would care, and share what has always remained unspoken. After a while, when our fears have been put to rest,and we feel that the trust so important to sharing real feelings has been realized,then will I speak of love. After a while when your eyes have gazed into my soul so deeply that you can tell me what my heart has to give,but will not until all the fear is gone.Then will I speak of love. To walk,to talk,to share feelings about life's ups and downs,is what we all want and need,but somehow seems very hard to find. The things we bring from our past may hold the key to lasting happiness in the future, once we feel that we can be open,real,and giving. After a while when our hearts speak one to another,without the need for words,then will our lives begin the journey toward complete bliss. As I walk beside the water longing,feeling,praying that this time we will get it right.This time love will make us whole.As I contemplate these things and more,I hope that someone will be you. After a while. Jeff c jeff jones 2008
