Jason White (born November 11, 1973) is an American musician and singer, best known for being the touring guitarist of the American rock band Green Day. He has performed with Green Day as a touring member since 1997, although he was an official member of the band from 2012 to 2016. He has worked with Green Day in the studio and on tour, and has appeared in various music videos with the band, including "When I Come Around", "Wake Me Up When September Ends" and "Last of the American Girls".  He was briefly credited as an official member on the group's 2012 trilogy ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré!.  Prior to working with Green Day, he was a member of the punk band Pinhead Gunpowder, which also featured Green Day vocalist Billie Joe Armstrong.  White has also been a member of a number of Green Day side projects including Foxboro Hot Tubs, The Network, and The Coverups among others.

Career

Other musical acts (1992–present) 

In the summer of 1992, White filled in guitar duties at the last minute for Bay Area punk band Monsula, who were performing at Little Rock, AR club Vino's. After the performance, Jason toured as guitarist for the band and eventually relocated to the Bay Area after the breakup of Chino Horde in summer 1993. White joined the Big Cats in 1996, after the temporary departure of bassist Josh Bentley, and took over guitar duties in 2000 after the death of guitarist Shannon Yarbrough. The group is a side project of many musicians, playing live very rarely. Their newest record, On Tomorrow, was released in 2007.

Because of Pinhead Gunpowder's infamy for sporadic get-togethers, White and Gunpowder bassist Bill Schneider began looking to form another band that would be a group the two could focus on. After recruiting Schneider's brother Greg Schneider to join and finally convincing Willie Samuels to play drums, The Influents were formed. White and Greg would become the focus of the band, splitting songwriting duties, as well as singing time. Bill Schneider left the band on good terms after the group's first album Check Please to focus on his drum shop and was soon replaced by Johnnie Wentz. The new line-up soon recorded a follow up, Some of the Young, and went on tour.

In 2006, Jason recorded a cover of The Replacements "Torture" for the Replacements Cover compilation, "We'll Inherit the Earth". He's also featured in the May 2007 release, Towncraft, a documentary covering twenty years of the punk music scene in Little Rock, AR, White's home. That same year, White played with Green Day in the video for the cover of "Working Class Hero."

Betsy Brannon Green (born June 1, 1958) is a Latter Day Saint mystery/suspense novelist. She is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Biography
Green was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, and grew up moving all over the country, since her father was in the US Army. In 1979, she married Robert Green, and they currently live in Bessemer, Alabama. They are the parents of eight children. Green's fiction is inspired by the people of Headland, Alabama. Green started writing in 1999 and Covenant Communications published her debut, Hearts in Hiding, in 2001.

Criticism
In 2012, the audiobook version of Murder by the Way was in Deseret Book's top five bestsellers for June 25–30. Reviewing the book in Deseret News, Alicia Cunningham wrote that while the mystery was predictable it was entertaining. Writing on LDS Fiction, Penny Bowler called books like Green's the "comfort food" of literature. Murder by Design was a top-10 bestseller from Deseret Book for the October 17 to October 23 sales interval. In a review for LDS Magazine, Jennie Hansen wrote that Proceed With Caution was "difficult [...] to put down" with realistic dialogue. Mike Whitmer praised the sequel, Danger Ahead (2015) for its lack of sexual content and graphic violence. Sharon Haddock wrote that Puzzle Pieces (2016) was convoluted, with an implausible ending and "simple outcomes."

Awards
Green's books have been finalists four times for the Whitney award for best mystery/suspense novel; in 2010 for Murder By Design, in 2009 for Murder by the Book, in 2008 for Above and Beyond and in 2007 for Hazardous Duty In 2008, Green was voted the 8th-most-popular writer by readers of the Deseret News.

Harold B. Lee Library-related 21st century articles The Leavenworth Case (1878), subtitled A Lawyer's Story, is an American detective novel and the first novel by Anna Katharine Green.  Set in New York City, it concerns the murder of a retired merchant, Horatio Leavenworth, in his New York mansion. The popular novel introduced the detective Ebenezer Gryce, and was influential in the development of the detective novel.  In her autobiography, Agatha Christie cited it as an influence on her own fiction.

Plot Summary 
The novel begins when a wealthy retired merchant named Horatio Leavenworth is shot and killed in his library. When investigator Ebenezer Gryce and lawyer Everett Raymond look into the case, it is revealed that no one could have left the Manhattan Mansion before the body was discovered the next day. As the story progresses, Leavenworth's orphaned nieces Mary and Eleanore, Hannah the maid, and a mysterious gentleman who appears on the scene all factor into the investigation.

Reception 
The Leavenworth Case was an immediate bestseller, making Green famous. It was popular both in America and in Europe, and according to one critic, it was popular among different age ranges and genders. The novel seems to have accrued generally positive reviews. Green's New York Times obituary calls The Leavenworth Case her most famous novel, and claimed after the author's death in 1935 that many copies were sold and that it was still popular. Despite its initial popularity, however, The Leavenworth Case (and the rest of Green's work) is largely forgotten today.

In order to publish the novel, Green had to write secretly and then read what she had written to Rossiter Johnson who then notified George Putnam to publish. The book was an instant success, and was so popular that it began to be pirated in England. Three different publishers (Alexander Strahan, Ward, Lock & Co. and George Routledge & Sons) pirated the book in 1884, and this continued to be a problem throughout Green's career.

Major Themes 
The Leavenworth Case is a detective novel in terms of genre. Its major themes are in some cases typical of the genre and in others innovative. In writing this book, Green began, notably, what would become one of the first detective series. This is thematically significant and sets the novel apart from previous works in the genre that most often were stand-alone; Green instead extended the themes and other elements of the novel, such as its detective and his methods, across a series of novels. While thematically and structurally the novel is typical of the genre in some regards in terms of being a “whodunit,” Green's characterization of Detective Gryce adds additional intrigue, setting up the series of Gryce novels that would follow.

The atmospheric and suspenseful aspects of the novel make it notable. Green used her familiarity with criminal and legal matters to create a novel that is characterized by technical accuracy and realistic procedural details. Green's use in the novel of aspects that include a coroner's inquest, expert testimony, scientific ballistic evidence, a schematic drawing of the crime scene, a reconstructed letter, and the first suspicious butler “anticipates many of the features used by subsequent mystery novels." Further, her innovative techniques and creative thematic elements were demonstrative of what would become standard elements in the detective novel. These aspects include: “a murder in a library, a narrator who is an assistant to the detective, newspaper accounts of the case, wills and a large inheritance, a second murder that heightens the mystery, and a final confrontation scene that prompts a confession." Certainly, the major themes of the novel and how Green presents them situate it as an influential text within the genre.

Significance 
The Leavenworth Case is a significant work of nineteenth-century American detective fiction. The publication and subsequent success of Green's text marked the entry of a female author into the predominantly male literary genre. In addition to the conventions of detective fiction, Green's novel has some aspects of sentimental literature. Green's investigator, Ebeneezer Gryce, was introduced nine years prior to the publication of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories. By locating the action of her stories in America, Green distinguished herself from earlier authors of detective fiction who had set their works in Europe.

Adaptations
Green adapted the novel into a play first performed in 1891.  A later revival of the play starred Green's husband Charles Rohlfs.

The story was filmed in movies of the same name in 1923 and 1936.
Its first translation in spanish was in 1906.
