| Source | Rating |
| *All About Jazz* |  |
| AllMusic |  |
| *The Encyclopedia of Popular Music* |  |
| *The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings* |  |
| Tom Hull – on the Web | A– |

The *All About Jazz* review by Hrayr Attarian states: "The leader's interplay with the other trombone players adds to the musical richness of the recording. Even in the company of high-quality, accomplished master musicians like these, her musical skills stand out. Her lyrical improvisations are melodic, clear and gay when she plays unmuted, and mysterious and warm when muted. This recording is one of the few places to hear Melba Liston solo".

The authors of *The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings* wrote: "there's much to enjoy and it's a feast for trombone lovers."

A reviewer for *Billboard* described the album as "a fine new set," and commented: "The arrangements are fresh and modern, and the work... is mighty listenable."

Critic Tom Hull awarded the album a grade of "A–", calling it "a real delight."

title: WGBN

# WGBN

**WGBN** (1360 AM) is an urban contemporary gospel radio station that serves the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, market in the US. Owned by Pentecostal Temple Development Corporation, the station operates with a power of 1,000 watts, and is licensed to McKeesport, Pennsylvania.

## History

### As WMCK

The station began broadcasting on April 30, 1947, with the call letters WMCK, and under the ownership of the Mon-Yough Broadcasting Company. George Raikes was company president and Jack Craddock was general manager. Studios were located at 517 Market Street in McKeesport. Its initial programming included Pittsburgh Pirates baseball games. During the early years, the station broadcast at a full-time power of 1,000 watts, day and night, changing to a directional antenna pattern during the nighttime hours.

### As WIXZ

Following its acquisition by Westchester Corporation of Cleveland, Ohio, it was a Top 40 station with the call letters *WIXZ* ("Wick-zee 1360") beginning in 1969. Its studios were relocated to 318 Long Run Road, McKeesport, PA. The offices were located in 4 Gateway Center, Pittsburgh, PA 15222. Among its disc jockeys during the Top 40 era was Jeff Christie, better known today by his real name, Rush Limbaugh, and was also on WHJB Greensburg. Other disc jockeys at the station were Mark Roberts, Mike McGann, George Hart, and Al "Jazzbeaux" Collins, who replaced Limbaugh, after his departure.

On March 19, 1974, the station was sold to Renda Broadcasting Corporation. Anthony F. Renda was the company president and Melvin Abramovitz was appointed as station manager. After Renda took ownership, the stations format was changed to Beautiful Music, which was short lived. In 1975, the format was changed to country, was automated at the time, and used the Drake-Chenault Country music package, which was billed as Great American WIXZ. The station went to live disc jockeys in 1976, still playing Country music, and moved the studios and offices to 400 Lincoln Highway in East McKeesport.

On July 16, 1985, Renda Broadcasting Corporation sold WIXZ to Serena Communications, a company owned by Renda executive Alan C. Serena. Renda had acquired the Pittsburgh stations WJAS and WSHH the year before and was required to sell off WIXZ to comply with more stringent FCC ownership requirements which, at the time, limited owners to possess no more than one AM and one FM property in any given market. Serena maintained the format until September 1997, when Renda Broadcasting bought back the station after FCC ownership rules were relaxed.

### As WPTT and WMNY

Shortly after the re-acquisition, WIXZ switched to a talk format, then took the WPTT call letters (formerly on channel 22 in Pittsburgh). On August 19, 2008, Renda Broadcasting announced that WPTT would be switching formats from talk to financial advice; this was accompanied by a call change to WMNY. In all of its incarnations since WMCK, the radio station has positioned itself as a Pittsburgh outlet, rather than directly addressing the suburb of McKeesport, despite a weak nighttime signal.

On September 19, 2011, Renda Broadcasting announced that WMNY would return to its "AM News Talk 1360" format. This format contains numerous popular talk programs from the Talk Radio Network based radio network.

### As WGBN

In July 2013, Renda Broadcasting announced that WMNY would be donated to Pentecostal Temple Development Corporation, licensee of WGBN in New Kensington. The transaction was completed on October 9, 2013. 1360 went off the air for about a month to allow engineering adjustments that would allow it to simulcast 1150's programming. The stations swapped call signs on March 1, 2014.

# W. D. Claypool

**William D. Claypool** was an Arizona politician who served several terms in the Arizona State Senate during the 1910s and 1920s.

## Biography

Claypool was originally from Kentucky, where he graduated from Ogden College. He served with U. S. forces during the Spanish-American War, seeing action in Cuba. Shortly after the war he moved to Arizona. In Arizona, Claypool was a resident of Claypool, which he founded and was named after him. In 1897 he was appointed as the deputy sheriff of Gila County. In 1902 he decided to run for sheriff, but then withdrew from the race.

In 1914 he was nominated by the Democrats for one of the three seats in the Arizona House of Representatives from Gila County. All three Democrats won in November's general election which was a landslide victory for the Democrats who won every seat in the Senate and all but one seat in the House. Claypool did not run for re-election in 1916, instead he ran for and won one of the two State Senate seats from Gila County, running alongside incumbent Alfred Kinney, who also won. He was re-elected to the senate in 1918, and again in 1920. During the 5th Arizona State Legislature, he was nominated by the Democrats to be the President of the Senate, but the Senate was controlled by a 10-9 Republican majority, so H. B. Wilkinson, a Republican from Maricopa County was elected. In 1922 both Democrat incumbents, Claypool and F. A. Woodward ran for re-election. However, Alfred Kinney, who had served in the first three Arizona senates, also ran. Claypool and Kinney won the Democrat's nomination, and both were elected in the November general election.

In 1924, Claypool did not run for re-election. He chose to throw his hat into the ring for State Corporation Commissioner. In the Democrat's primary, he had a hotly contested race against Scott White. Early returns on September 10 had White up by just under 500 votes, but that margin closed over the next several days, until by the 16th White's lead had shrunk to 25. Finally, on the 17th, Claypool was declared the winner with a lead of over 170 votes. In the November general election he defeated Republican C. E. Beach by over 2,000 votes, and took office on January 5, 1925. In January 1927, Claypool was elected chairman of the commission for a two-year term. He announced his intention to run for re-elect to the State Board again in June 1931, but was defeated in the Democrat's primary by Charles R. Howe.

In 1932, Claypool ran once again for the State Senate, however he was defeated by incumbent E,. H. McEachren and newcomer John P. Dougherty in the primary.

Back in the US he had his first acting experience in Montreal at a theatre where he was a ticket seller, assistant doorkeeper and where his brother was employed as an actor. MacDowell was occasionally asked upon to act. Here in Montreal he got a chance to act with Adelaide Neilson, a legend in her short life, in the Shakespeare play *As You Like It*. Neilson played one of the main characters *Rosalind*, and MacDowell was briefly on as *Charles* the wrestler.

# William L. Hadden

**William L. Hadden** (October 8, 1896 – July 11, 1983) was an American politician who was the 87th lieutenant governor of Connecticut from 1943 to 1945.

## Early life

William L. Hadden was born in Elmira, Chemung County, New York, on October 8, 1896. About one year later, he moved to New Haven, Connecticut, and in 1909 the family moved to West Haven. He went to public schools in New Haven, West Haven High School and the Fordham University School of Law. He was admitted to the State Bar in 1917. After discharge from military service in 1918, he practiced law. He was also Assistant Clerk of the Town Court of West Haven from 1919 to 1921, Prosecuting Attorney from 1923 to 1927 and judge from 1927 to 1937. From 1939 to 1943 he was Prosecuting Attorney.

## Family life

William L. Hadden married Mary McNamara in 1920. They had three children: William L. Hadden Jr., David C. Hadden, and Mary Ann Hadden Zimmerling. Mary died on December 15, 1981.

## Political career

William L. Hadden was a Republican. He represented his home town in the Connecticut General Assembly in the 1939 and 1941 sessions, in the latter session he was Chairman of the Judiciary Committee and Majority Leader.

He was elected Lieutenant Governor of Connecticut in November 1942 together with Republican gubernatorial candidate Raymond E. Baldwin. He served for one two-year term from January 6, 1943, but while Baldwin was reelected in 1944, Hadden was not and was replaced with Democrat Charles Wilbert Snow. Snow would replace Baldwin as governor late in 1946, when Baldwin became a U.S. Senator.

Hadden was appointed Attorney General of Connecticut by Baldwin in 1945, to fill the vacancy caused when Francis A. Pallotti resigned to become a judge. Hadden was then elected Attorney General for a full four-year term and served until 1951.

He was a delegate to the Republican National Convention in 1948.

# Vrezh

The **Vrezh** (transl. as *Vengeance*) was a hoax underground militant movement, whose existence was never confirmed.

Azerbaijan alleged that its creation was organized by the Armenian Revolutionary Federation in 1989 to "fight Azerbaijan and authorities in Northern Caucasus by bombing civilian targets".

## Operations

The organization is believed to have operated from the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don, where it was responsible for the murder of Colonel of Russian Internal Security Forces V. Blakhotin.

Allegedly, the organization was founded by an Grayil Marukhian, an anti-Soviet Armenian nationalist who was expelled from the Armenian SSR in the 1980s and lived in Greece and Syria since.

The bombing of a Tbilisi-Agdam bus on September 16, 1989 was blamed on Vredz by Azerbaijan. Azerbaijani security forces arrested two of the alleged perpetrators while they had purportedly been preparing another attack at the main bus station in Ganja.

Both were condemned to 20 and 15 years while the "mastermind" reportedly escaped. Azerbaijan claimed that Vrezh was the party in charge for the bombing of Tbilisi-Agdam bus close to Azerbaijani city of Ganja on August 10, 1990 and the failed attempt to bomb the Baku-Gazi-Magomet train on March 26, 1990 where the bomb was found and defused. Among other attacks believed to be the work of Vrezh are the April 30 and July 31, 1991 bombings of trains moving from Moscow to Baku.

# Mount Ida Plantation

**Mount Ida**, also known as the **Walker Reynolds House**, was an antebellum mansion, built in the Greek Revival style beginning in 1840 by Walker Reynolds, between Sylacauga and Talladega in rural Talladega County, Alabama, United States.

## History

Walker Reynolds was a wealthy planter and promoter of Talladega and Talladega County. He was born August 28, 1799, in Warren County, Georgia, and died January 18, 1871, in Talladega County. He came to Alabama in 1832, and settled among the Indians in Talladega County. In 1849 he was elected to the legislature on the Whig ticket, and during his service there, he succeeded in securing the passing of a charter giving to the county a railroad running through its entire length, then known as Alabama & Tennessee River Railway, and afterwards as the Selma, Rome and Dalton Railroad. After the session of 1849, he was not again in public life, but engaged in planting and milling, and the buying and selling of public lands. Before the start of the Civil War, he opposed secession, but went with his adopted state when she seceded. Because of his age he could not enter the Confederate States Army but he aided largely in the support of the needy families of the Confederate soldiers during the war, and raised and equipped a company at his own expense. He was known by the title of major, presumably, from his connection with the militia. He is buried in the family cemetery at his home, Mount Ida.

## Description

Initial construction on the fourteen-room mansion began in 1840, it was completed in sections until the portico was completed in 1858. The Greek Revival mansion featured a monumental veranda, edged by six fluted columns and topped by inverted bell-shaped capitals (a motif extremely rare among ante-bellum homes in the state). The six front columns were constructed of red brick and covered with hard plaster. The large windows on the balcony could be turned into doors providing access from the inside of the house as well as cool ventilation in the summer months. There was amethyst glass in the sidelights and transoms. The furnishings in the house were purchased on a trip to New York City. The front parlor was called 'The Blue Room' and was a replica of the Blue Room in the White House.

In 1949, the Kent family purchased the mansion and began a restoration to return Mt. Ida to its former glory. However, Mount Ida was struck by lightning in August 1956 and quickly burned to the ground. All that remains today are the front brick-and-plaster columns.
