Stellar Award Nominated Vocalist’s Highly-Anticipated CD
“The W.I.N. (Worship In Nassau) Experience” Releases 9/17/13

Stellar Award nominated balladeer, Earnest Pugh, has finished mixing and editing his highly anticipated “The W.I.N. (Worship In Nassau) Experience” CD/DVD that releases September 17, 2013 on P-Man Records. The project is anchored by the soul-stirring new anthem of praise – “More of You” – that’s now come in at #17 on next week’s Billboard Hot Gospel Songs chart. P-Man Records has also just finished a typography video of the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfdoJGIKlcY and the track is also available on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/more-of-you/id670426893?i=670427256

The power ballad was written by Pugh and produced by Grammy Award winner Cedric Thompson. “I wrote the song after spending some time in prayer,” Pugh says. "While in prayer I could hear - in the near background - my phone ringing and buzzing with reminders for meetings, etc. but despite the urgency of those calls and text messages, I felt compelled to stay in God's presence just a little longer. Before I knew it an entire hour had passed and so had several important meetings. My time with God empowered me beyond words. From that day on, it was evident that nothing mattered more to me than quenching the hunger and thirst for more of God."

Recorded live in Nassau, Bahamas in the Grand Ballroom of the Atlantis Hotel, the album commemorates Pugh's 20-15 Celebration - twenty years in ministry and fifteen years in the music Industry. The project includes the CD and a DVD video of the full-length concert that boasted cameos by gospel icon Shirley Caesar, Rance Allen, LeJuene Thompson and the energetic choir, Vincent Tharpe & Kenosis. Aside from “More of You,” the set will also include the studio version of Pugh’s recent Top 40 hit "I Believe You Most" that found the artist collaborating with J. Moss and the PAJAM production team.  Visit www.earnestpugh.com for more information on this exciting artist.

U.S. Murder Offenders by Race: 2023 FBI Data

  Data on murders (homicides) committed by race in the United States primarily comes from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, which relies on reports from law enforcement agencies. The most recent detailed breakdown available is for 2023, but due to the FBI's transition to a new reporting system (NIBRS), not all agencies submitted complete data—only about 70-80% of the population was covered, so totals are undercounts. These figures represent known offenders (where race was identified), not arrests or convictions, and include single-offender and multi-offender incidents. In 2023, there were approximately 15,708 known murder offenders with identified race. Here's the breakdown: Race Number of Offenders Percentage of Known Offenders Rate per 100,000 Population White 8,842 56.3% 3.51 Black or African American 6,405 40.8% 14.00 Other (American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander) 461 2.9% 1.31 Notes on the...
