  • U.S. Government Closes Age-Old Compound House Fire Kills Glen
    Volume XXVI No. 17 Hometown Newspaper for Glen Cove, Sea Cliff, Glen Head, Glenwood, Locust Valley and Brookville Week of 1/5/17 75C Russian Upper Brookville mansion gets hit with a sanction U.S. government closes age-old compound By Nakeem Grant [email protected] Glen Cove Mayor Reggie Spinello still remembers the procession of cars, includ- ing the black limousine, that brought Nikita Khrushchev to Killenworth, a Russian com- pound on Dosoris Lane in Glen Cove. “I was 8,” said Spinello, a lifelong Glen Cove resident. “And it was the height of the Cold War. I watched as everyone lined the streets and threw tomatoes at Khrushchev. No one was happy about him visiting Glen Cove.” Spinello doesn’t know if the former lead- er of the Soviet Union ever visited again, but he has seen cars with diplomatic license plates heading for the compound several times over the years. At first, he believed, like many others, that the federal government shuttered Kil- lenworth last week, and that its inhabitants were included among the 35 unnamed Rus- sian officials expelled from the U.S. But that was not true. It was Norwich House, a Russian com- pound in Upper Brookville, that was shut (Continued on page 3) Photo by John Abate House fire kills Glen Cove The federal government did not close Killenworth, a Russian compound in Glen Cove. woman By Laura Lane CPR was initiated, and when the Glen Cove Fire Department arrived she was tak- [email protected] en to Glen Cove Hospital by ambulance.

  • Cigarettes Little Cigars/Cigarillos Cost Amount of Tobacco
    Since 2000, Iowa teens have had an active role in changing the general social attitude toward tobacco use. When the Iowa Legislature created the Division of Tobacco Use Prevention and Control within the Iowa Department of Public Health, they stressed the importance of youth involvement in reducing tobacco use among young people. They suggested the best way to do this was to hold an annual Youth Summit on Tobacco. The first youth summit was held in July 2000 with just over 130 students present. More than a decade later, the youth tobacco prevention program grew to include over 4,000 members statewide. 2011 ushered in a new wave of youth and a new environment for tobacco use prevention and control. That same year, ISTEP (Iowa Students for Tobacco Education and Prevention) was created. ISTEP saw the need for continued education on the subject matter of tobacco and held their first youth summit as ISTEP in the summer of 2012. During the last two years, ISTEP has grown to have 980 registered members in local chapters statewide. ISTEP is the only youth-led organization changing the tobacco world in Iowa. To learn more about the ISTEP program and how to get involved, visit www.IowaSTEP.org ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This chapter resource guide was created by a team of youth and adult partnerships, and is intended to assist youth and adults in establishing Youth Tobacco Prevention chapters in the state of Iowa. ISTEP would like to acknowledge Jason Thompson with Generation Free and Barbara DeNekker with the American Legacy Foundation for their inspiration to create this chapter resource guide as well as the following individuals who contributed content in the creation of this chapter resource guide: Julie Bleecker, Erica Anderson, Kim Mills, JoAnn Muldoon, Maggie O’Rourke, Jerilyn Oshel, Don Owens, Sieglinde Prior, Don Shepherd and Sheri Stursma.

  • HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007
    1 HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007 Submitted by Gareth Andrew James to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English, January 2011. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ........................................ 2 Abstract The thesis offers a revised institutional history of US cable network Home Box Office that expands on its under-examined identity as a monthly subscriber service from 1972 to 1994. This is used to better explain extensive discussions of HBO‟s rebranding from 1995 to 2007 around high-quality original content and experimentation with new media platforms. The first half of the thesis particularly expands on HBO‟s origins and early identity as part of publisher Time Inc. from 1972 to 1988, before examining how this affected the network‟s programming strategies as part of global conglomerate Time Warner from 1989 to 1994. Within this, evidence of ongoing processes for aggregating subscribers, or packaging multiple entertainment attractions around stable production cycles, are identified as defining HBO‟s promotion of general monthly value over rivals. Arguing that these specific exhibition and production strategies are glossed over in existing HBO scholarship as a result of an over-valuing of post-1995 examples of „quality‟ television, their ongoing importance to the network‟s contemporary management of its brand across media platforms is mapped over distinctions from rivals to 2007.

  • Cigars Were Consumed Last Year (1997) in the United States
    Smoking and Tobacco Control Monograph No. 9 Preface The recent increase in cigar consumption began in 1993 and was dismissed by many in public health as a passing fad that would quickly dissipate. Recently released data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) suggests that the upward trend in cigar use might not be as temporary as some had predicted. The USDA now projects a total of slightly more than 5 billion cigars were consumed last year (1997) in the United States. Sales of large cigars, which comprise about two-thirds of the total U.S. cigar market, increased 18 percent between 1996 and 1997. Consumption of premium cigars (mostly imported and hand-made) increased even more, an astounding 90 percent last year and an estimated 250 percent since 1993. In contrast, during this same time period, cigarette consumption declined 2 percent. This dramatic change in tobacco use raises a number of public health questions: Who is using cigars? What are the health risks? Are premium cigars less hazardous than regular cigars? What are the risks if you don't inhale the smoke? What are the health implications of being around a cigar smoker? In order to address these questions, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) undertook a complete review of what is known about cigar smoking and is making this information available to the American public. This monograph, number 9 in a series initiated by NCI in 1991, is the work of over 50 scientists both within and outside the Federal Government. Thirty experts participated in the multi-stage peer review process (see acknowledgments).

    Fordizm Perspektifinden Hollywood Stüdyo Sistemi – Derya ÇETİN FORDİZM PERSPEKTİFİNDEN HOLLYWOOD STÜDYO SİSTEMİ Derya ÇETİN* ÖZET Amerikan film endüstrisinde, Keynesyen refah devleti döneminde destekleyici hükümet po- litikalarının da varlığıyla yapım, dağıtım ve gösterim alanında bütünleşmiş şirketler pazara hakim olmuşlar, yapım sürecini kitle üretim ilkelerine göre örgütlemişlerdir. Bu örgütlenme biçimi, İkinci Dünya Savaşı sonrasından 1970’lerdeki petrol krizine kadar olan dönemdeki endüstrileşmiş Batı ekonomilerindeki baskın üretim biçimi olan fordist üretim biçimiyle paralellik göstermektedir. Bu çalışmada fordist üretim biçiminin temel ilkeleri doğrultu- sunda Amerikan film endüstrisinin özel bir döneminin tarihsel değerlendirmesi yapılmak- tadır. 1940’ların ikinci yarısına kadar süren stüdyo döneminde Amerikan film endüstrisine sekiz şirket hakim olmuştur. Şirketlerin dikey olarak bütünleşmelerinin ve tekelci uygula- maların yasayla güvenceye alınmasının yanı sıra üretim süreci de fabrikasyon tarzı seri üre- time dönüşmüştür. Talebi öngörülebilir kılmaya ve üretim kapasitelerini arttırmaya çalışan stüdyolar gitgide daha fazla şekilde formüllere ve tekniklere dayanan öyküler oluşturmaya başlamıştır.
