  • Discography of the Mainstream Label
    Discography of the Mainstream Label Mainstream was founded in 1964 by Bob Shad, and in its early history reissued material from Commodore Records and Time Records in addition to some new jazz material. The label released Big Brother & the Holding Company's first material in 1967, as well as The Amboy Dukes' first albums, whose guitarist, Ted Nugent, would become a successful solo artist in the 1970s. Shad died in 1985, and his daughter, Tamara Shad, licensed its back catalogue for reissues. In 1991 it was resurrected in order to reissue much of its holdings on compact disc, and in 1993, it was purchased by Sony subsidiary Legacy Records. 56000/6000 Series 56000 mono, S 6000 stereo - The Commodore Recordings 1939, 1944 - Billy Holiday [1964] Strange Fruit/She’s Funny That Way/Fine and Mellow/Embraceable You/I’ll Get By//Lover Come Back to Me/I Cover the Waterfront/Yesterdays/I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues/I’ll Be Seeing You 56001 mono, S 6001 stereo - Begin the Beguine - Eddie Heywood [1964] Begin the Beguine/Downtown Cafe Boogie/I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me/Carry Me Back to Old Virginny/Uptown Cafe Boogie/Love Me Or Leave Me/Lover Man/Save Your Sorrow 56002 mono, S 6002 stereo - Influence of Five - Hawkins, Young & Others [1964] Smack/My Ideal/Indiana/These Foolish Things/Memories Of You/I Got Rhythm/Way Down Yonder In New Orleans/Stardust/Sittin' In/Just A Riff 56003 mono, S 6003 stereo - Dixieland-New Orleans - Teagarden, Davison & Others [1964] That’s A- Plenty/Panama/Ugly Chile/Riverboat Shuffle/Royal Garden Blues/Clarinet

  • Seattle a Digital Community Still in Transition Jessica Durkin, Tom Glaisyer, and Kara Hadge, Media Policy Initiative June 2010, Release 2.0
    New America Foundation An Information Community Case Study: Seattle A digital community still in transition Jessica Durkin, Tom Glaisyer, and Kara Hadge, Media Policy Initiative June 2010, Release 2.0 Seattle, Washington, could be considered a city singularly suited to develop a healthy democracy in the digital age. The city government, citizens and business have created a productive environment for the next generation of information-sharing and community engagement. Years of economic growth and relative prosperity have fostered new, superior practices in news and information. Yet, losing a major print newspaper, as Seattle did when The Seattle Post-Intelligencer closed, adversely affects a community, by leaving it with one less place to provide public service journalism, stories about people and general community updates. In parallel, Seattle has been at the center of an explosion of alternative news outlets, especially online, which has created a critical mass of information portals for geographic and social communities. As the Knight Report, Informing Communities: Sustaining Democracy in a Digital Age, highlights, it is important to understand that there are three important elements to be considered as we analyze media and democracy in the 21st century: • availability of relevant and credible information to all Americans and their communities; • capacity of individuals to engage with information; and • individual engagement with information and the public life of the community. However, despite the relative vibrancy of the media scene, and even with all its demographic and other advantages, it is unclear how much of this innovation is sustainable. The local web is littered with websites that are no longer updated, and few of the startups boast anything like the journalistic firepower or profitability of the papers of the past.

  • Seattle Public Schools Ice/Snow Transportation Plan 2012-2013
    Seattle Public Schools Ice/Snow Transportation Plan 2012‐2013 Introduction Inclement Weather and Ice and Snow From time to time throughout the school year, weather may force a change in the District’s normal operating routines. The District will make every effort to adhere to the established school calendar, bell schedules, and routes. However, there may be times when weather conditions make the usual routes unsafe or impassable. This document provides information about how decisions are made regarding the delay or possible closure of school, how information is disseminated to families, and what parents and guardians can expect. As inclement weather and traffic will affect bus schedules and routes, we ask that families be patient and understanding. We will do everything in our control to provide accurate information regarding pick‐ up times for your students. Please remember, the safety of your children is our primary concern. Recommendation and Decisions At approximately 2:00 a.m. on inclement weather days, designated school district transportation and operational personnel begin ongoing communications with staff in City of Seattle public works departments. School district transportation staff will drive roads throughout Seattle to determine the ability to safely transport students via school buses. The determination will be based on the status of arterials (major and minor), noting specific challenging areas; and existing and anticipated weather patterns as reported by NW Weathernet, local air traffic controllers, various news stations and surrounding school districts. Between 4:00 – 4:30 a.m. on these days, transportation staff call the Assistant Superintendent of Operations with their recommendations. The Assistant Superintendent and Superintendent render the decision for that day’s operations.

  • Emergency Message Line 360-855-3573 (Spanish 360-855-3538) (Recorded Information Regarding School Schedule Changes)
    PLEASE KEEP FOR FUTURE USE DURING ADVERSE WEATHER Sedro-Woolley School District 2020-2021 Emergency Communications Bulletin Emergency Message Line 360-855-3573 (Spanish 360-855-3538) (Recorded information regarding school schedule changes) Our district is large enough (395 square miles) that snow may accumulate in one area and not in other areas. Add in a pandemic with students learning both remotely and in person, and it adds up to trying to serve all of our students equitably while factoring in staff and student safety. Sedro-Woolley School District administrators have invested a great deal of thought into determining the following two scenarios. Possible 2020-2021 Adverse Weather Scenarios 2-Hour Delay: If a small weather system hits our area and roads/school sidewalks/ parking lots can be cleared by starting two hours late, we will shift to a late start. ALL students’ start times will shift by two hours, with schools releasing at normal times in the afternoon. Why not just start the in-person students late? Many students who are receiving in-person services also participate in remote learning classes. In order to offer equitable access, we need to have the same two-hour late schedule for all of our instruction. Starting two hours late will also allow staff members a safer commute, especially those who are unable to work remotely. Remote Asynchronous Learning: If a more substantial weather system hits our area, we will shift to asynchronous learning at home where students will complete assignments at their own pace with little to no “live” instruction. Why? We have a large number of staff members who do not have adequate internet access at home.
