The Cody Clay Crushers are a team of youth shotgun shooters who compete in statewide and regional shooting competitions, a part of the Scholastic Clay Target Program, a nationwide organization. The Scholastic Clay Target Program has teams all throughout the U.S., our Cody Clay Crushers being one. Anyone can be a part of a Scholastic Clay Target Program team, as long as they are going to school, this includes college/university. Ted Koppel, a famous CBS journalist, best known for his role as the anchor for Nightline from 1980 until his retirement in 2005, visited our quaint town of Cody on an assignment to find the opinions on gun laws from us. Koppel is native to the east where gun control laws are generally favored. For this program, he wanted to gain insight on how we use guns out here. He knew the opinions of the citizens of Cody differ from the opinions of the population back east but he wanted to know just how different our opinions truly are. EQUUS PHOTOS/Trisha Gail On Saturday Feb. 20th, three members of UNITED the Cody Clay Crushers team headed out to Cody High School students join together as part of Project Unify to raise awareness of the Spread the Word to End the Cody Shooting Complex on the Belfrey the Word campaign. Students of all ages joined forces to bring the student body together with guest speaker Mr. Highway. These members included sophomore Beau Goldsby. CHS students pledged to end the “R’ word. Reese Romero, his younger brother and eighth- grader, Dillon ‘Pickle’ Romero and myself, junior Maddie Waidelich. Personally, I do not use firearms to hunt. I only shoot for sport and have yet to kill an animal or bird in my life. Even so, they are a huge part of my life. Since joining the team, I have become horribly addicted to the sport. I think this will be an interesting addition to the segment because a good portion of it is most likely going to be old men ranting about Obama. I think it’s going to be interesting because back east guns aren’t as important as they are here. People are going to see this segment and open their eyes to the gun controversy, possibly even realize guns aren’t all bad.

  • Predictive Modeling in Data-Driven Drug Discovery
    R&D Solutions DRUG DISCOVERY & DEVELOPMENT From Molecule to Phenotype: Predictive Modeling in Data-Driven Drug Discovery Summary Despite growing scientific insight and technological investment, attempts to develop novel therapies still show limited success. Traditional drug screening approaches oversimplify the complexity of living cells by focusing on a 1-to-1 substance–target relationship. Modern data- driven drug design utilizes all available layers of information to create predictive models that select compounds likely to have the desired effect on the phenotype. High-quality, carefully curated data are essential for this approach. Despite growing technological investment, the number of new drugs approved each year has not changed much since the 1980s The last 30 years have brought enormous progress in biological science. From recombinant protein technologies through completion of the human genome to the discovery of epigenetics, our knowledge has expanded in an unprecedented manner. However, insights in basic research have failed to spur an increase in novel therapies. Despite growing technological investment, the number of new drugs approved each year has not changed much since the 1980s (Figure 1). This effect applies to all therapy approaches. First-in-class drugs, which use a novel mechanism of action for therapy, often suffer from side effects. Follower drugs, which build on a therapy that is already established in the clinic, often do not provide therapeutic improvement. Many drugs look promising in biochemical assays, but fail in the clinical phase because of low efficacy or unexpected side effects. Existing knowledge on biological processes is not yet fully implemented in drug design, ignoring the gap between individual molecular interactions and the complexity of whole organisms.

  • Termination-Of-Transfers Time Bomb 387 SOUND RECORDINGS
    Termination-of-Transfers Time Bomb 387 SOUND RECORDINGS, WORKS FOR HIRE, AND THE TERMINATION-OF-TRANSFERS TIME BOMB" by DAVID NIMMER AND PETER S. MENELL** Guillaume de Machaut, the most famous composer of the Middle Ages (born 1300), gave the world Ma fin est mon commencement ("My end is my beginning"). Congress evidently had de Machaut's handiwork in mind recently when addressing the copyright status of sound recordings. For that phrase perfectly encapsulates the experience of seven centuries later: After two wrenching upheavals, we have ended up precisely back where we started. Se retrograde et einsi fin. In particular, Congress amended the Copyright Act in 1999 to correct a "technicality" regarding whether sound recordings can qualify as spe- cially commissioned works-for-hire. It amended the Copyright Act again, in 2000, to undo its 1999 creation. As a result of this "millennial flip- flop,"' the issue is now left squarely indeterminate. Accordingly, the time is ripe to consider whether sound recordings can, indeed, qualify as spe- cially commissioned works made for hire. After analyzing the issue in depth, the conclusion reached below is a resounding maybe.2 The inquiry might be of scant interest, were it not at the vortex of an impending storm. When Congress passed the current Act in 1976, it cre- ated a mechanism called termination of transfers to safeguard the interests of authors. Of particular practical significance, Congress made this termi- nation right inalienable. Therefore, boilerplate advance assignments do not extinguish this right.3 Given the statutory details, termination largely '@ 2002 by David Nimmer and Peter S.

  • Stalinism Revisited Stalinism Revisited
    CYAN MAGENTA YELLOW BLACK Stalinism Revisited Stalinism Revisited Stalinism Revisited brings together representatives of multiple generations to create a rich examination The Establishment of Communist Regimes in East-Central Europe of the study and practice of Stalinism. While the articles are uniformly excellent, the book’s signal contribution is to bring recent research from Eastern European scholars to an English-speaking audience. Thus the volume is not just a “state of the discipline” collection, in which articles are collected to reflect that current situation of scholarship in a given field; instead, this one includes cutting edge scholarship that will prompt more of the same from other scholars in other fields/subfields. I would recommend this book highly to anyone interested in understanding the technology of Stalinism in both StalinismStalinism thought and practice. Nick Miller Boise State University The Sovietization of post-1945 East-Central Europe—marked by the forceful imposition of the Soviet- type society in the region—was a process of massive socio-political and cultural transformation. Despite its paramount importance for understanding the nature of the communist regime and its RevisitedRevisited legacy, the communist take-over in East Central European countries has remained largely under- researched. Two decades after the collapse of the communist system,Stalinism Revisited brings together a remarkable international team of established and younger scholars, engaging them in a critical re-evaluation of the institutionalization of communist regimes in East-Central Europe and of the period of “high Stalinism.” Sovietization is approached not as a fully pre-determined, homogeneous, and monolithic transformation, but as a set of trans-national, multifaceted, and inter-related processes of large-scale institutional and ideological transfers, made up of multiple “takeovers” in various fields.

  • The Explosion of Wind Band Literature…
    AN ANNOTATED COLLECTION OF TWENTIETH CENTURY WIND BAND EXCERPTS FOR TRUMPET DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Carly Jo Lynn Johnson, M.M. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Document Committee: Approved by Professor Timothy Leasure, Adviser ________________________ Professor Charles Waddell Adviser Dr. Russel Mikkelson School of Music Dr. Margarita Ophee-Mazo i i ABSTRACT The purpose of this document is to provide an annotated collection of excerpts, in the area of trumpet performance, from wind band repertoire of the twentieth century. The study emphasizes the analysis and preparation of selected excerpts by trumpet players for both audition and performance purposes. The study provides background information, musical analysis, practical performance suggestions, and a select discography on excerpts taken from twenty-two significant compositions from the wind band repertoire. The scope of the selected repertoire has been narrowed to works written specifically for the large wind band medium and that have demonstrated a significant relevance to the continued development of the wind band medium in the United States. The excerpts included in this study were selected primarily from solo and first cornet and trumpet parts taken from advanced repertoire. This project employs a historical background, with an emphasis on works from the second half of the twentieth century. A determining factor of the repertoire selected for review and inclusion in this project is that the works were composed originally for wind bands comprised of brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments. Thus, chamber works were not included in this range of consideration, nor were marches or orchestral transcriptions.

  • Brandon Flowers: Sound, Scripture & Space Katie Olson 18 December 2018
    Brandon Flowers: Sound, Scripture & Space Katie Olson 18 December 2018 Executive summary In this project, I wanted to visualize the music and lyrics of Brandon Flowers, frontman of the Killers. My goal was to apply data visualization to the music and the text. First, I looked at the actual sound, using Spotify’s valence metric, a rough measure of how happy a song sounds. This visualization shows us which albums sound the most joyful. Second, I analyzed similarities between scriptural text and the lyrics of Brandon Flowers. I provide two visualizations showing phrases common to both the lyrics and to scripture. Third, I show on a map which US cities are mentioned in the song lyrics. The final graphic shows all three of these visualizations, providing a new look into music. Data background I drew data from several sources, including Genius’s song lyric database, Spotify, and also the csv version of the scriptures available available at http://scriptures.nephi.org/. The Spotify data was not available for all the Killers albums and instead included several live recordings, which I did not include in my analysis. Genius included all of the Killers and Brandon Flowers albums. This provided the framework for my second two visualizations. library(spotifyr) library(tidyverse) library(ggridges) library(lubridate) library(tidytext) library(scales) library(ggrepel) library(geniusR) library(sf) library(scico) killers <- get_artist_audio_features('the killers') bflowers <- get_artist_audio_features('brandon flowers') fullflowers <- bind_rows(killers, bflowers) Data cleaning Because I used several data sets, I will show this with each figure. 1 Individual figures Figure 1: Visualizing Sound For this figure, I filtered Spotify’s data by album name and its valence score.

  • THE SONGS of LORI LAITMAN an Analysis of Sunflowers and Early Snow
    THE SONGS OF LORI LAITMAN An Analysis of Sunflowers and Early Snow DMA Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Helen Teresa Allen, B.M., M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2013 Committee: Robin Rice, Advisor William T. McDaniel Jan Edwards Copyright by Helen Teresa Allen 2012 ABSTRACT The music of American composer, Lori Laitman, has charmed and impressed many art song enthusiasts, inspiring both admiration and devotion. Having written over 200 art songs, the American composer has continually earned the respect of critics as well as other composers, and perhaps most of all, singers. Her great respect for and assiduous attention to text and melody, in an age where something as simple as a memorable melody can seem scarce, has won her a place within the hearts of many. Known for her lyric writing - her soaring phrases and brilliant climaxes – Laitman’s music is both rewarding, and at times, deceptively difficult. Her music has been recorded and performed by numerous professional artists, and has finally landed the composer an entry in the eminent Grove Dictionary of American Music (which will be added to the 2012 edition). Along with a biography of the composer, this paper takes a look at Laitman’s compositional technique as applied to the song cycles Sunflowers and Early Snow. An examination of these songs reveals Laitman’s various melodic and harmonic methods ii used both to enhance her music as well as bind it together.
