  • Beards in the Breeze NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Beards in the Breeze A New Orleans teenager in 1960 could have tuned his radio to WTIX, 1060 AM, and listened to this tune as a “name it and claim it” selection. Or he may have caught it on WNNR (pronounced WNNR- ruh) 990, “The Center Aisle of Your Radio Dial” or on WTIX, “The Mighty 690.” The song “New Orleans” was a top-ten hit that year for Gary U.S. Bonds, reaching #6 on Billboard, and recorded locally by “Big Boy” Myles on the Ace label: “Come on take a stroll down to Basin Street And listen to the music with the Dixieland beat. The magnolia blossoms fill the air And if you ain't been to heaven, then you ain't been there. French moss hangin' from a big oak tree, Down the Mississippi down in New Orleans.” Gary U.S. Bonds and his 1960 hit recording, “New Orleans” “French moss” was easier to work into the rhyme scheme than the usual name “Spanish moss”. But it is neither French, nor Spanish, nor is it a moss. “Spanish moss” is Tillandsia usneoides, but this is a misnomer since it is not a bryophyte, or true moss. True moss is any of various green, usually small, nonvascular plants of the class Musci of the division Bryophyta. The word moss comes from the Middle English, from Old English mos, meaning bog, from Medieval Latin mossa, moss (of Germanic origin). Sphagnum is a genus of numerous species of mosses commonly called peat moss, due to its prevalence in peat bogs.

Steve Jobs Steve Jobs was born on February 24th, 1955, to two University of Wisconsin graduates (Joanne Schieble and Abdulfattah Jandali, a Syrian immigrant). The couple decided not to keep the baby, and for the first few years of his life, Steve Jobs lived with an adoptive family. There, his adoptive father taught him about electronics and computer chips in their garage. In school, we was often so bored that the teacher had to bribe him to get work done. Regardless of that, the school supervisors believed Steve should start high school when he went into fourth grade, an idea which his parents refused. In 1976, when Jobs was just 21, he and Steve Wozniak formed Apple Computer, a company that would shape the world we live in today.

  • What Goes Into the Next Treatment?
    Summer 2015 The Magazine of the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation What goes into the next treatment? The MMRF Precision Medicine Model is injecting speed into drug development. THE DATA BANK Data generation and integration THE LEARNING NETWORK Collaboration and discovery THE CLINIC Accelerating trials INSIDE: The MMRF Precision Medicine Model n A Robust Pipeline n MyMMRF A letter from Walter M. Capone Dear Supporter, The treatment of myeloma has seen some of the most significant advances of any cancer in the last decade. Despite these advances it is still a devastating disease. Now more than ever it is absolutely essential that we band together to fight this disease and identify new treatment options in our drive to a cure for patients. 2015 has been an important year in the fight against multiple myeloma. Numerous clinical trials are launching to study drugs for patients who had few or no treatment options available, and the myeloma community at large — researchers, industry, academia — is coming together like never before. Together with our partners we are accelerating breakthroughs for patients thanks to your efforts and support of the MMRF. The MMRF has re-engineered the disease research and drug development model to integrate data and partnerships to inject speed and efficiency into the process with the ultimate goal of accelerating a cure. Through this model, seven new treatments have been launched for patients in the last 10 years. These treatments have almost tripled patients’ life span. You can learn more about our model in the article on page 4. We are on track to launch 11 new clinical trials this year to rapidly advance lifesaving treatments to patients who are most in need.

  • Comcast Corporation; Rule 14A-8 No-Action Letter
    March 2, 2020 Via electronic mail Office of Chief Counsel Division of Corporation Finance U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: Shareholder Proposal to Comcast Regarding Workplace Sexual Harassment on Behalf of Arjuna Capital Ladies and Gentlemen: Arjuna Capital has submitted a shareholder proposal (the “Proposal”) to Comcast (the “Company”) on behalf of George C. Jenne (the “Proponent”), who is the beneficial owner of common stock of Comcast. We are responding to the letter dated January 31, 2020 ("Company Letter") sent to the Securities and Exchange Commission by William H. Aaronson of Davis Polk. In that letter, the Company contends that the Proposal may be excluded from the Company’s 2020 proxy statement. We have reviewed the Proposal, as well as the letter sent by the Company, and based upon the foregoing, as well as the relevant rules, it is our opinion that the Proposal must be included in the Company’s 2019 proxy materials, and that it is not excludable under Rule 14a-8. A copy of this letter is being emailed concurrently to William H. Aaronson. SUMMARY The Proposal asks the Board of Directors to conduct an independent investigation into and prepare a report on risks posed by the Company's failures to prevent workplace sexual harassment. The Company seeks exclusion of the Proposal on the basis of Rule 14a-8(i)(7), claiming that the Proposal relates to the Company's ordinary business operations. Specifically, the Company argues that the Proposal relates to the Company’s general legal compliance program and policies.
