"Potential titles must also be published in the United States within the previous eighteen months of the current calendar year—this year, the committee considered books published between July 2010 and December 2011. This generous window allows members to consider any titles that may have been overlooked the previous year. Books published outside the United States must have a US publication date that falls within the stated range. Previously published books can be considered if they are reissued with significant changes or additional content. Books for adults, with crossover appeal to teens, are also considered.""All About Amelia The Amelia Bloomer Project By Jennie. 5. Law, Maureen McCoy, Beth Olshewsky, and Angela Semifero""Law, Jennie.

1952–1959: Atlantic Records[edit]
In June 1952, Atlantic Records bought Charles's contract for $2,500 (US$23,039 in 2017 dollars).

"In 1952, we signed up a man who was going to become one of the most important people in the history and development of Atlantic Records. One evening I was over at Herb and Miriam Abramson's house when they said, 'We've got to play you this,' and they put on a record of Ray Charles. I said, 'My God -- he's fabulous!' Ray was on a California label by the name of Swingtime, which was owned by Jack Lauderdale. At that time, I had a friend named Billy Shaw, who was an agent who booked a lot of R&B talent. Finally, he said to me, 'Look, why don't you record him? I would be able to book him if you made some good records.' I said, 'I guarantee we'll make great records with him -- how do I get him?' He said, 'You buy his contract. Lauderdale is ready to sell. He wants $2,500.' I said, 'Done deal.' So we bought Ray Charles for $2,500."Fricke, David. "The STORY of ATLANTIC Records."

= Lorella Jones = From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lorella Margaret Jones (February 9, 1943 -- February 9,1995), was a professor of physics and director of the Computer-based Education Research Laboratory (CERL) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Jones was interested in the application of computers to physics education and championed the cause of women in physics. She wrote an essay entitled "Intellectual Contributions of Women in Physics" in Women of Science: Righting the Record.

She studied at Harvard, concentrating on mathematics, and graduated magna cum laude in 1964. From Harvard she moved on to Caltech receiving an M.Sc. in 1966 and Ph.D. in 1968. She became an associate professor of physics at Illinois in 1974, later becoming a full professor. Her research was in high-energy physics, particularly the force binding nuclear particles to quarks. Her career in research on theoretical high-energy focused on four things: Regge pole theory, phenomenological models of photomeson production, jet calculus in quantum chromodynamics (QCD), and use of Grassmann coordinates to describe internal symmetries. She took a sabbatical in 1981-82 to work at CERN, becoming a fellow of the American Physical Society in the division of particles and fields in 1982. She became director of the university’s Education Research Laboratory in the year 1992, remaining at the University of Illinois for her whole career and publishing a total of 64 papers based on her research.

Jones was born in Toronto to an astronomer and industrial physicist. She grew up with her parents, Donald and Shirley Jones of Urbana, and a sister Irene Jones of Livermore, California.
