DePasquale joined him. Landmarks had only asked for several months time to evaluate a few especially significant structures and had agreed to the demolition of other structures. Landmarks believes that enormous benefits can be created by saving and interpreting the most significant artifacts of our steel industry heritage. As an examplg the restoration of about 100 dilapidated but historic houses in Savannah has resulted in tourist revenue of over $200 million a year, in a city not strate- gically located.

  • Glenn Killinger, Service Football, and the Birth
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School School of Humanities WAR SEASONS: GLENN KILLINGER, SERVICE FOOTBALL, AND THE BIRTH OF THE AMERICAN HERO IN POSTWAR AMERICAN CULTURE A Dissertation in American Studies by Todd M. Mealy © 2018 Todd M. Mealy Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2018 ii This dissertation of Todd M. Mealy was reviewed and approved by the following: Charles P. Kupfer Associate Professor of American Studies Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Simon Bronner Distinguished Professor Emeritus of American Studies and Folklore Raffy Luquis Associate Professor of Health Education, Behavioral Science and Educaiton Program Peter Kareithi Special Member, Associate Professor of Communications, The Pennsylvania State University John Haddad Professor of American Studies and Chair, American Studies Program *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines Glenn Killinger’s career as a three-sport star at Penn State. The thrills and fascinations of his athletic exploits were chronicled by the mass media beginning in 1917 through the 1920s in a way that addressed the central themes of the mythic Great American Novel. Killinger’s personal and public life matched the cultural medley that defined the nation in the first quarter of the twentieth-century. His life plays outs as if it were a Horatio Alger novel, as the anxieties over turn-of-the- century immigration and urbanization, the uncertainty of commercializing formerly amateur sports, social unrest that challenged the status quo, and the resiliency of the individual confronting challenges of World War I, sport, and social alienation.

  • Routledge Handbook of Sport and New Media
    ROUTLEDGE HANDBOOK OF SPORT AND NEW MEDIA New media technologies have become a central part of the sports media landscape. Sports fans use new media to watch games, discuss sports transactions, form fan-based communities, and secure minutiae about their favorite players and teams. Never before have fans known so much about athletes, whether that happens via Twitter feeds, fan sites, or blogs, and never before have the lines between producer, consumer, enactor, fan and athlete been more blurred.The internet has made virtually everything available for sports media consumption; it has also made under- standing sports media substantially more complex. The Routledge Handbook of Sport and New Media is the most comprehensive and in-depth study of the impact of new media in sport ever published. Adopting a broad interdisciplinary approach, the book explores new media in sport as a cultural, social, commercial, economic, and technological phenomenon, examining the profound impact of digital technologies on that the way that sport is produced, consumed and understood.There is no aspect of social life or commercial activity in general that is not being radically influenced by the rise of new media forms, and by offering a “state of the field” survey of work in this area, the Routledge Handbook of Sport and New Media is important reading for any advanced student, researcher or practitioner with an interest in sports studies, media studies or communication studies. Andrew C. Billings is the Ronald Reagan Chair of Broadcasting and Director of the Alabama Program in Sports Communication at the University of Alabama, USA. He has published eight books and over 80 journal articles and book chapters, with the majority focusing on the inter- section of sports media and identity.

Dear Friends, The value a public library brings to its community is immeasurable. It’s a place where learning begins, imagination is encouraged and memories are created. Thanks to you, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh is investing in neighborhoods; helping our region’s children to learn and grow both in and out of the classroom; building a community of readers; inspiring and supporting job seekers, entrepreneurs and start-ups and encouraging social dialogue. All of this is possible because people like you believe in and generously support Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. The following report is just a small snapshot of the many ways your support profoundly impacts our community and improves the lives of the people we serve. Thank you for your commitment to literacy and learning. This is your Library. We are stronger with you. Lou Testoni Mary Frances Cooper Board Chair President & Director Through your generosity area students are becoming critical thinkers, engaging their curiosity and discovering the fun of learning — in and out — of the classroom. 2 Preparing every child to learn “It was a dream when we moved across the street from the Library.

As I prepared to go up the stage, I was unexpectedly overcome with emotion – seeing 300 farmers, the women and men who work hard to grow our food. I have worked at a small farm, and if you have done so or even have grown an edible garden in your yard, you KNOW the extraordinarily hard work required. And as I prepared to say the words, “40% of food goes to waste,” I could only think I am really saying to them “half of all your labor, we will throw in the garbage.” I have so much love and respect for our farmers. Throwing away perfectly good food devalues our farmers and all the resources that go into producing food. I feel the same on the other end, when I have the privilege of visiting one of our nonprofit partners or reading letters and emails from people whom we have delivered food to. They begin with “I am homebound...” “I have three kids and no car….” “I did not know how I was going to make it til the end of the month….” “We make too much to qualify for benefits but we cannot make ends meet.” And they end with, “this made a big difference.” Throwing away perfectly good food is Food Injustice.
