Front Line's mission is guided by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. As such the organization is focused on providing urgent action to protect those at risk because of their work. Front line helps human rights defenders to manage and cope with the risks they face and enables change and improved human rights at a local level by supporting those who peacefully work to protect the rights of their communities. Front Line History
Front Line was founded in Dublin in 2001 with the specific aim of providing tangible support for Human Rights Defenders - people who work non-violently for any or all of the rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Since that time, the organization has supported human rights defenders in over 90 countries through a highly responsive, fast and flexible program that includes protection, networking, training and access to the mechanisms of the UN and other regional bodies.
Rapid Response
Front Line has taken up over 600 cases of human rights defenders at immediate risk and has extended support to human rights defenders (HRDs) in over 100 countries through direct interventions, international advocacy, grant support, and emergency relocation. Small Grants Program
Front Line has disbursed over €300,000 in grant support to more than 200 human rights defenders in need of medical, legal and security assistance.
Training & Security
Front Line works with human rights defenders to deliver regional & international training on the topics of security & protection, capacity-building, IT Security and women human rights defender issues. Front Line also publishes training packages designed to aid the work of at-risk human rights defenders.
Reports on Human Rights Defenders at Risk
Front line publishes detailed reports of the situation of human rights defenders at risk and has published reports in conjunction with human rights defenders in Brazil, Central Asia, Guatemala, Indonesia, Palestine, Rwanda, Sierra Leone and the USA.

Each Platform brings together over 100 at-risk human rights defenders from over 70 countries.
International Advocacy
Front Line played a key role in lobbying for the EU Guidelines on the Protection of Human Rights Defenders adopted during the Irish Government’s Presidency in June 2004. The EU Guidelines are a critical element in encouraging EU member states to engage more actively in support of human rights defenders at risk. Front Line has established a EU office in Brussels to press for more effective implementation.

Gaslight Square
[edit]History of Gaslight Square Saint Louis, Missouri 1953-1972
Gaslight Square was a compact thriving entertainment district that was far more notorious than Bourbon Street at the time. Original music was everywhere and the streets were lined with packed clubs and restaurants., and after hours coffeehouse discussion still remembered in the new millennium.
Founded by the beatniks of the early 1950's, it was a time before orbiting satellites, the Internet, cell phones and mass electronic media. This generation began questioning traditional majority values in art, literature, and political self expression. Like New York's Greenwich Village, a central hub of The Beat Generation, Gaslight Square in St. Louis supported and helped construct this important alternative American scene. Writers Jack Kerouac and Alan Ginsberg and others traveling coast to coast would make that delibrate stop in St. Louis to witness Gaslight Square.
Gaslight Square was one of the coolest and hippest neighborhoods on earth. Many top entertainers such as The Smothers Brothers, Lenny Bruce, Miles Davis, Barbra Streisand, Jackie Mason, Mike Nichols and Elaine May, Woody Allen, Dick Gregory, Jack E. Leonard, and Phyllis Diller, graced the stages of Gaslight Square early in their careers. The area boasted of live jazz, poetry, great food, Irish dancing, and street cars. It would take a half hour to go 2 blocks by car. Gaslight Square was truly a unique hot area of sophisticated entertainment.
Then Gaslight Square died. This focal point synthesized into a phenomenon that burned brightly for just a few years, was then allowed by lack of political will, police protection, and public apathy to fade, to dim, and to die.
Not a trace of Gaslight Square remains today, aside from the website: www.gaslightsquare.org
Two documentary were produced about Gaslight Square within the last several years. "Gaslight Square The Forgotten Landmark" (Bruce Marren/2002) explores the history by the people who developed the area. Includes interviews with the Smothers Brothers, Jay Landesman, Bob Kuban, and many others.
"Gaslight Square The Legend Lives On" (Bruce Marren/2005) looks at the influence it had on the city, uncovers relics, and what has happened to it today. Includes interviews with Phyllis Diller, Billy Peek, Jonnie King, and many others.

Carronne Jones Grant
[edit]The Baltimore – Washington area is the birth place of a nuber of artist including Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Marvin Gaye, Dru Hill, Mya, and Little Mo’. It is also the home of a number of talened artist and musicians who have either sang background or have done a great deal of studio work. Carronne Jones Grant is such an artist.
Like others, Carronne was raised around family members who were musicians, producers, or National Gospel Recording artist. As a child Carronne fell in love with all of the musical creativity artound her and decided to join her family’s church choir. As she matured mentally and musically, Carronne started to think about pursuing a solo career.
Carronne said “As long as I can remember music has always been a part of my exisistence.”
However, Carronne’s musical career would take a decidedly different route. During and after college Carronne traveled through out the Mid-Atlantic and recorded background vocals or hooks for many of the top producers in the industry. It wasn’t until she competeted in the Rising Star competition sponsored by Vicki Winans that Carronne decided to explore a solo career.
“I had grown accustomed to supporting other artist and helping them tell their stories. However, I did not agressively pursue finding a medium for my story to be told. Although I came in second place in the (Rising Star) competition it reminded me that my story is just as exciting as anyone else’s”, stated Carronne

[edit]High School
[edit]Dave Budd, a former NBA player, was born on October 28, 1938 in Woodbury, New Jersey. There he grew up and attended Woodbury Junior/Senior High School. By sophomore year, it was evident that basketball was his true calling. Standing at 6'6" and weighing close to 200 pounds[1], Budd was a man among boys. He possessed technical skills comparable to a point guard and blossomed into a star. He earned two first team All-Colonial Conference selections during his junior and senior years as well as an All-South Jersey selection during senior year. His talent interested many colleges, one of which was Wake Forest University.
Wake Forest University
[edit]Freshman
[edit]After graduating high school in 1956, Budd went on to play for Division I Wake Forest. Due to NCAA rules (circa 1971 and earlier), freshmen in college were not allowed to play varsity basketball. [2]
Sophomore
[edit]When he became an eligible sophomore during the 1957-58 season, he played in 23 games, averaging 15.8 ppg on a 47.5 field goal % as a forward. He also grabbed 8.5 rpg and shot 66.8% from the charity stripe (free throw line).[3] Assists were not yet tracked in college.
Junior
[edit]Played in 24 games and averaged 14.6 ppg on 43.2% shooting. Snatched 8.6 rebounds per game and had a 66.8 free throw %.[4]
Senior
[edit]Played in all 28 games while averaging 10.7 ppg and a career-high 10.0 rpg. Shot 49.7% from the field and 72.7% from the free throw line.[5]
Cumulative Division I stats
[edit]- 75 games played
- 13.5 points per game
- 9.1 rebounds per game
- 46.6 field goal %
- 69.2 free throw %
NBA
[edit]After enjoying success at the college level, Budd was drafted after his senior year by the New York Knicks in 1960.[6] He was the 10th overall selection in the second round (back then there were fewer teams in the league and each round only had eight selections). He was drafted the same year that Oscar Robertson and Jerry West were picked #1 and #2, respectively. Though never an All-Star, Budd did enjoy moderate success while playing at the highest level. One of his claims to fame was that he was one of the five starters for the Knicks that attempted to guard Wilt Chamberlain on the night of his record-setting 100-point performance. He is the only person from Woodbury, NJ to ever play in the NBA.
