  • Remarks at a White House Meeting with the American Retail Federation May 16, 1984
    Remarks at a White House Meeting With the American Retail Federation May 16, 1984 Good afternoon, I'm glad to welcome you -- I know you've probably been welcomed by others already -- you, the merchants of America, back to the White House. It's hard to believe that 2 years have passed since we last met -- 2 short years, but what a difference. As you probably remember, when we met in the Rose Garden, I didn't have very much good news to give you. The American people had paid a steep price for years of good intentions badly misdirected. And as a result, our national economy had nearly reached the breaking point. As a result of that crisis that faced us -- well, we weren't, however, pursuing a program based on the shifting sands of government expediency. Another quick fix certainly would have failed. There was only one way to go, and that was use three simple words as our guide: Trust the people. Lasting economic recovery had to be built on the solid rock of the American free enterprise system. And when I think back to all the critics who cynically said we couldn't possibly get it done, I find myself remembering my previous life in the entertainment world. You know, back in the days of vaudeville, vaudevillians trying to get bookings and even young ones trying to break into the show business would go into an empty theater, and there'd be an agent sitting out there in about the third row, all alone in the theater, cigar in his mouth, wearing a check suit and -- [laughter] -- the vaudevillian would have to show his wares to this cynic.

    Prize-winning microscopy image lights up Times Square in New York 21 May 2014 on a large, high-resolution screen in New York's iconic Times Square. "The image is of a mouse sperm cell, also known as a spermatocyte, highlighted with three fluorescent labels that show DNA (blue), KASH5 protein (green) and the SCP3 protein (red), which is required for the pairing of chromosomes," explains Wright. "This image was a particularly striking example when we captured it—the orientation of the proteins we were studying and the two sperm cells stained in blue on both sides made it aesthetically pleasing." The image was the result of a collaboration between Wright, head of the IMB Microscopy Unit (IMU), Horn, a senior research fellow, and the research teams of Colin Stewart and Brian Burke, also of the IMB, who discovered that the KASH5 protein is vital for successful chromosomal movements during meiosis—the division of cells necessary for successful sexual reproduction1.

  • Political Economy of the Culture Industries
    Toward a Political Economy of Digital Culture: From Organized Mass Consumption to Attention Rivalry By Jeffrey A. Hart Department of Political Science Indiana University Bloomington, IN 47405 Prepared originally for a Short Course on Culture Industries, Technologies, and Policies, at the Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association, Philadelphia, August 30, 2006. Revised January 15, 2009 for publication in J.P. Singh, ed., Cultural Policies and Power (Lexington, Mass.: Lexington Books, forthcoming). Please do not cite or quote without the written permission of the author. Introduction According to the editor of this volume, the term “cultural industries” includes “the arts and creative sectors that encompass, but are not limited to, publishing, film, music, photography, design, and tourism.”1 Because of the development of digital technologies in computers and telecommunications equipment, more and more cultural artifacts are being produced, stored, and delivered digitally. The increased speed of digital devices and innovations in computer networks and digital compression technologies make it both easier and less expensive to deliver words, music, symbols, and images (in fact, anything that can be digitized) to consumers around the world. One of the key consequences is that the cultural industries, which used to depend solely on analog technologies, have had to adjust their business models and strategies to 1 J.P. Singh, “APSA Short Course on Culture Industries, Technologies, and Policies,” August 20, 2006, http://www3.georgetown.edu/grad/cct/10344.html. deal with the new digital technologies. Some firms have done this successfully, others have not. Also, cultural industries catering to mass audiences tended to use one-way distribution systems (e.g.

  • Color-Conscious Casting in American Theatre
    \\jciprod01\productn\H\HLS\9-2\HLS201.txt unknown Seq: 1 5-JUN-18 10:21 There’s No Business Like Show Business: Abandoning Color-Blind Casting and Embracing Color-Conscious Casting in American Theatre Kristin Bria Hopkins* Abstract The commercial theatre industry suffers from institutional racism that has yet to be remedied. Currently, the industry advocates for color-blind casting as the best method to give actors of all ethnicities an equal playing field in the casting process. Unfortunately, minority actors are still cast at significantly lower rates than White actors. Instead of encouraging color-blind casting, the theatre industry should imple- ment color-conscious casting. Under a color-conscious casting policy, race and ethnicity would be a factor that directors, casting teams, and producers must consider during the casting process to encourage more actors of color to audition. Ignoring race in an appearance-based industry, where there is a history of discrimination, only furthers discrimination. Because much artistic deference is given to casting teams, this Note will address why a color-conscious temporary affirmative action policy is necessary to remedy the effects of past discrimination in the theatre industry. Introduction In March 2016, the production team of Hamilton: An American Musical (“Hamilton”) released a casting notice seeking “non-white” actors to audi- tion for the show’s Broadway replacements and future regional productions.1 Hamilton portrays the life of Alexander Hamilton in a new and innovative * Editor-in-Chief of the William & Mary Business Law Review.

  • A Show-Stopping Hotel and Retail Complex Plans to Take Center Stage at 1568 Broadway
    https://www.globest.com/2018/09/21/ll-maefield-and-fortress-reveal-2-5b-times-square-development/ September 21, 2018 L&L, Maefield and Fortress Reveal $2.5B Times Square Development A show-stopping hotel and retail complex plans to take center stage at 1568 Broadway. By Betsy Kim | September 21, 2018 at 07:06 PM TSX Broadway at 1568 Broadway/ Project rendering, image credit: courtesy of L&L Holding Company NEW YORK CITY —The show business of real estate will be right at home in the heart of Times Square. In some locations such as Times Square, the Strip in Las Vegas and the Ginza District in Tokyo, real estate has a distinctive use for not only experiential interior functions but also building exteriors that act as unique platforms for advertising and marketing. L&L Holding Company, Maefield Development and Fortress Investment Group plan to bring this to a whole new level. Literally. Their new project will include a permanent, outdoor stage suspended 30 feet in the air overlooking the TKTS red steps. Plus, the building façade will be equipped with LED-lighting across its full 46-stories, and an 18,000 square-foot wraparound sign. Construction of this massive hotel, tech retail and theatre development and signage, called TSX Broadway, begins late this winter. The $2.5 billion cost includes the $540 million purchase of the 43-story Doubletree Guest Suites from Sunstone Hotel in December 2015, noted in Real Capital Analytics. The new owners will demolish the hotel that’s at 1568 Broadway to build a new 550,000 square-foot, 46-story tower.

  • Program Notes by Joshua S. Ritter, Education Director
    Program Notes by Joshua S. Ritter, Education Director There’s No Business Like Show Business! Irving Berlin’s unforgettable tune captures the essence of life in the entertainment business like no other song in history. Only Berlin could so eloquently express the highs and lows that accompany a theatrical career. Remarkably, Berlin was concerned about including “There’s No Business Like Show Business” due to a muted initial response from his colleagues. Unbeknownst to Berlin, their silence was one of awe rather than disapproval. When Berlin submitted his score to producers Rogers and Hammerstein for the second round of rehearsals without the famous song, he drew the following reaction: “Where’s that ‘Show Business’ thing?” Hammerstein asked, sure that he had misplaced the number. “I left it out,” Berlin said somberly. “In Heaven’s name, why?” Hammerstein inquired. “I didn’t think you liked it,” Irving retorted. “You didn’t say enough.” Later, Hammerstein reflected on the situation: “He was just going to throw it away. Now out of context of the play, it’s merely the song that means show business.” However, despite Berlin’s incredible work on the production, he was not the original intended composer and lyricist for Annie Get Your Gun. Dorothy Fields conceived the idea for the musical and she intended to write the lyrics and co-write the book with her brother Herbert. She stated that the idea formed in her head after witnessing a decorated soldier who was extremely successful at a Coney Island shooting gallery. This observation conjured images of the famous sharpshooter Annie Oakley and the idea for the show was born.

  • Rural Prosperity Through the Arts& Creative Sector
    RURAL PROSPERITY THROUGH THE ARTS & CREATIVE SECTOR A Rural Action Guide for Governors and States About the National Governors Association (NGA) and the NGA Center for Best Practices The National Governors Association (NGA), founded in 1908, is the association through which the nation’s governors share best practices and apply creative leadership to state issues. Its members are the governors of the 55 states, commonwealths and territories. The NGA Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) is the only research and development organization that directly serves the nation’s governors and their key policy staff members. Governors rely on the NGA Center to provide tailored technical assistance for the challenges that face their states; identify and share best practices from across the states; and host meetings of governors’ staff members, leading policymakers, program officials and scholars. Through research reports, policy analyses, cross-state learning labs, state grants and other unique services, the NGA Center informs governors about what works and highlights the lessons governors can learn from others grappling with similar issues. For more information about NGA and the Center for Best Practices, please visit www.nga.org. Acknowledgments This report was prepared by Sally Rood at the NGA Center for Best Practices with generous input and editing from staff identified below from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), National Assembly of State Arts Agencies (NASAA) and the NGA Center. The NGA Center wishes to thank the NEA and its Acting NEA Chairman Mary Anne Carter for the NEA’s generous support of this Action Guide.

  • 5 Retirement Mistakes Small-Business Owners Make and How to Avoid Them
    5 Retirement Mistakes Small-Business Owners Make And How to Avoid Them As a business owner, you face unique challenges and opportunities when building a financial future. This special report provides insights on mistakes to avoid and steps to take when building the retirement you desire—while managing your myriad responsibilities. Small-business owners are an essential component of America’s economy. In the United States, 99.7% of all firms are comprised of small businesses with 500 or fewer employees.1 Too often, however, a small-business owner spends so much time and energy building their company that they neglect their personal financial futures. With this report, our goal is to show business owners how to maximize the value of their companies with business strategies that may also help them prepare for retirement. www.ilgpw.com 470 Johnson Road • Washington, PA 15301 877-228-9910 5 RETIREMENT MISTAKES SMALL-BUSINESS OWNERS MAKE Strategy 1 - Create a Retirement Roadmap 2 ONE-THIRD OF SMALL-BUSINESS OWNERS DON’T HAVE RETIREMENT STRATEGIES IN PLACE. Building, running, and growing a company is tough. Business owners have countless responsibilities and too few hours in the day. Often, in the midst of fulfilling your professional priorities, you end up putting your personal financial life on the back burner. If you have not prepared for your retirement, you are not alone. Many entrepreneurs think growing a business is all they need to retire. However, just having a business does not automatically mean you have a retirement strategy in place. Without a documented roadmap—one that goes beyond the hope of simply selling your business or passing it to your family—you could end up pushing back your ability to retire.
