AAU coaches graduating to college
2012
Robinson's decision is part of a trend in the Washington recruiting landscape, where a growing number of coaches from the area's top two AAU programs are being hired to six-figure assistant coaching jobs in the college ranks in large part to lure players from what is considered one of the most fertile recruiting territories in the country.

VAUGHAN WILLIAMS: The Pilgrim's Progress; BANTOCK: 2 Choruses
2017
The music, where something like allegory might have been suggested, is decidedly subordinate to narrative events. It is appropriate in a radio play for the speakers' voices to dominate, though these voices are little suited to Bunyan's magnificent earthy prose. lohn [John Gielgud]'s Christian suggests a pious version of Henry V; elsewhere plummy and preachy voices seem more appropriate to a Lambeth conclave than to Bunyan's proletarian soundscapes.

British Violin & Cello Concertos
2016
[Gregor Piatigorsky], Charles Munch, and the Boston Symphony performed the world premiere of [William Walton]'s Cello Concerto on January 25, 1957. Three days later they recorded it for RCA. Recorded here a month later is the broadcast of the European premiere with Piatigorsky, [Malcolm Sargent], and the BBC Symphony, and it is excruciating. It sounds like a cautious rehearsal without prior consul- tation between soloist and conductor.

Mendelssohn: Elijah
2006
[MENDELSSOHN]'s [Elijah], first performed in London in 1846, became a cornerstone of the choral repertoire in Victorian Britain, even to rivaling the great Handel. So popular was it that a recording was a prime desideratum, and the feat was accomplished in April 1930, when the oratorio was released by Columbia on 15 10-inch discs.

Frederick Thurston, clarinet
2004
All of the pieces here were dear to [Frederick Thurston]'s heart, especially the Stanford concerto, dedicated to his teacher Charles Draper-the work that launched Thurston's career. He hated the recording studio, and so made few recordings, so these 1948 and 1952 documents are important.

Vaughan Williams: Sir John in Love
2017
[Ralph Vaughan Williams] also made the libretto more music-friendly by having characters, or sometimes the chorus, sing folk-like numbers using poems and song texts from Shakespeare's time-by Ben Jonson and Philip Sidney-and sometimes tunes from the time as well.

Marginalized Voices in Music Education
2018,2017
Marginalized Voices in Music Education explores the American culture of music teaching and learning by looking at marginalization and privilege in music education as a means to critique prevailing assumptions and paradigms. In ten contributed essays, authors set out to expand notions of who we believe we are as music educators and who we want to become. This book is a collection of perspectives by some of the leading and emerging thinkers in the profession, and identifies cases of individuals or groups who have experienced marginalization. It shares the diverse stories in a struggle for inclusion, with the goal to begin or expand conversation in undergraduate and graduate courses in music teacher education. Through the telling of these stories, the authors hope to recast music education as fertile ground for transformation, experimentation, and renewal.
Bob McKeown investigates doctors who faced discipline by provincial Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons
2016
'Doctors Without Boundaries' may also be 'Doctors Without Borders' travelling from one province to another, Canadian physicians practising in the US or vice versa. Meet one of them, Dr. Ravi Shenava, who regularly drives across the border from Michigan to practise psychiatry in Ontario. Here at his Windsor medical office, Shenava's patients may be aware that he commutes to work from the US, but it's unlikely they know why. It is a cautionary tale. For decades, the doctor has lived in this handsome house in a posh suburb of Detroit. He's a dual citizen and was licensed to practice medicine in both the United States and Canada for years. But in 2006, he would run into trouble in the US. The Michigan Department of Community Health launched a complaint against Ravi Shenava, citing long-term alcohol abuse. But when he didn't take the mandated treatment, he was accused of conduct that could \"impair the ability to safely practice the health profession,\" and his US medical licence was immediately suspended. Though he didn't admit the truth of the allegations, he didn't contest them either. He agreed to permanently surrender his licence instead of going to a hearing. He is now prohibited from reapplying to practise medicine anywhere in the US. But Ravi Shenava's alcohol abuse evidently continued. Four years after he lost his medical licence, he was arrested for drunk driving in his hometown of West Bloomfield, Michigan. The police report describes how he rear-ended another car at a red light, in fact hitting it twice, then kept driving. Police say he didn't stop until he reached a nearby spa and went inside for a massage. The arresting officer described him as 'falling down drunk'. Shenava pled guilty to driving under the influence and was fined. So, he may have lost his medical licence but his driver's licence is apparently still in effect. Because every day, he leaves his house outside Detroit in his black SUV and heads towards the border. Our cameras observed as he traveled through the tunnel that connects Michigan to Ontario, then to this clinic on Tecumseh Street in Windsor. Though Ravi Shenava is no longer allowed to practice medicine in the US - a potential danger to his patients - to this day he's still accredited to work as a doctor in Canada, which he obviously does. You may be asking, how could that possibly be? We wondered too, so we approached the College of Physicians and Surgeons about what they knew and what they did. They declined to talk, but they did tell us in an email that Ontario physicians are legally required to report any professional or criminal action taken against them anywhere. But they wouldn't say if Ravi Shenava reported the suspension of his US medical licence or his DUI in Michigan. And they also wouldn't tell us if the American authorities shared that information with them. What we do know is that on the Ontario College's website there's nothing at all to tell Canadian patients American authorities believed Ravi Shenava unfit to be a doctor a decade ago. So when this young woman was looking for a psychiatrist in Windsor in 2012, there was no reason not to accept a recommendation to be counselled by Ravi Shenava. We'll call her Jenny. Due to a publication ban, we can't show her face.
