DETAILS INSIDE >> DETAILS INSIDE >> WXXI IS PROUD TO BE PART OF AMERICAN GRADUATE: GETTING TO WORK WXXI is one of 19 public media stations to be awarded a grant by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to be part of the national American Graduate: Getting to Work initiative. The station collaborative will help to advance education and career readiness in their communities. The two-year initiative will allow stations working with partners in their local communities to assess workforce challenges and opportunities, and produce local content focused on the essential skills needed for students and workers to succeed in the job markets of today and tomorrow. The work will focus on good jobs in high need career sectors that require training beyond high school but less than a four- year degree. According to the National Skills Coalition, middle skills jobs account for 50% of New York’s labor market, but only 38% of the state’s workers are trained for these jobs. The new grants represent the next phase of public media’s American Graduate initiative focused on improving the graduation rates by a continuum of services cradle to career. Over the past six years, the initiative has attracted local business and community leader support and engagement by focusing on keeping young people on the path to success in school and life. This increased focus in “Getting to Work” will help youth and young adults, ages 16-26 years, to find a variety of career pathways to prepare for jobs that currently are going unfilled because of a skills gap and lack of awareness of the opportunities.

Owner Danny Deutsch shares insight on his experience with Rochester’s entertainment scene. Q. Favorite part of the job? It’s nice when you see artists develop and build a bond with the local community. I do also enjoy a sold-out show at Abilene. Q. What’s your dream booking? Do I have to name just one? I’d love to work with Nikki Lane, Parker Millsap, and of course Emmylou Harris. Q. What are the biggest changes you’ve noticed in Rochester’s music scene? EVENTS It’s growing! Rochester loves live music and we’re truly thankful they occasionally love it here at Abilene. There also seems to be a demand for shows to start earlier and as we go into our 11th season, we’ll be accommodating that as much as we can. & Q. Looking back over the past ten years, what are some of your fondest memories? Too many to share! Abilene provides intimate and personal shows so when acts like Nikki Hill, Dale Watson, and the Blasters come to town, they leave an impression. There was one special afternoon prior to a show when JD McPherson and his band were polishing up a new tune on our little stage. They were working out the kinks, and my bartender and I were able to enjoy the whole thing. You don’t get to experience that every day. Q. What are your plans for celebrating Abilene’s ten-year anniversary? Our 10th anniversary concert will be with JD McPherson at the Harro East Ballroom on Friday, April 13. The week leading up to the event will be stacked with music and performers our patrons have come to know and love.

The phenomenon can be witnessed in a grainy video shot in 2003 by a dashboard camera in a Cincinnati police car. In it, a patrol car pulls up quickly to the parking lot of a White Castle in Cincinnati.

  • Brand Guide & Graphic Standards
    Brand Guide & Graphic Standards R e vi sed 11.04 N P R ® Corporate Identity Sta n d a r d s INTRODUCTION In a highly competitive media world, the need for a strong, clearly-defined company identity could not be greater. While being a giant enterprise is not one of NPR’s goals, as a non-profit organization we are still faced with the impact that a largely unknown and out of sync image has on our organization. A weak and unknown identity can impair NPR’s ability to develop the best possible programming, secure corporate underwriting, recruit the brightest talent, and ultimately serve the public in the best possible manner. Consequently, in February 1997, NPR, working with CKS New York, a consulting firm specializing in brand and identity development, began developing a program to enhance its identity. In addition, NPR will continue its campaign to strengthen its identity by establishing proper guidelines for use of its visual identity, including all of its registered and unregistered marks. I. NPR IDENTITY The key elements of the NPR identity system are the NPR logo, a graphic expression of the organization’s personality, and the NPR audio logo, an aural expression of the organization’s personality.The NPR logo is composed of a graphic representation of the three letters “n,” “p,” and “r,” and does not include the name “National Public Radio.” The new NPR logo is a service mark of National Public Radio, Inc. and must always be displayed with the “SM” symbol until it is officially registered as a service mark by the U.S.

  • Introduction
    MERLOT Journal of Online Learning and Teaching Vol. 5, No. 2, June 2009 Integrating Online Multimedia into College Course and Classroom: With Application to the Social Sciences Michael V. Miller Department of Sociology The University of Texas at San Antonio San Antonio, TX 78249 USA [email protected] Abstract Description centers on an approach for efficiently incorporating online media resources into course and classroom. Consideration is given to pedagogical rationale, types of media, locating programs and clips, content retrieval and delivery, copyright issues, and typical problems experienced by instructors and students using online resources. In addition, selected media-relevant websites appropriate to the social sciences along with samples of digital materials gleaned from these sites are listed and discussed. Keywords: video, audio, media, syllabus, documentaries, Internet, YouTube, PBS Introduction Multimedia resources can markedly augment learning content by virtue of generating vivid and complex mental imagery. Indeed, instruction dependent on voice lecture and reading assignments alone often produces an overly abstract treatment of subject matter, making course concepts difficult to understand, especially for those most inclined toward concrete thinking. Multimedia can provide compelling, tangible applications that help breakdown classroom walls and expose students to the external world. It can also enhance learning comprehension by employing mixes of sights and sounds that appeal to variable learning styles and preferences. Quality materials, in all, can help enliven a class by making subject matter more relevant, experiential, and ultimately, more intellectually accessible. Until recently, nonetheless, film and other forms of media were difficult to exploit. They had to be located, ordered, and physically procured well in advance either through purchase, library loan, or broadcast dubbing.

This 30-minute documentary, produced by WUSF, was written, directed and narrated by Tampa filmmaker Larry Elliston and underwritten by the Florida Humanities Council. Why St. Petersburg? “It’s a perfect example of the new urbanism that’s blossoming around the country,” says Elliston. “As baby boomers and younger people turn to urban living, St. Petersburg, with its waterfront and historic charm, walkability, and vibrant arts and performance scene, is an ideal destination.” Elliston’s ode to St. Pete “covers a lot of ground,” including a look back at its history, and interviews with the city’s movers and shakers.

Bedrails are simple, metal devices that are supposed to be helpful. Patients use the rails to pull themselves up, and they can prevent patients from rolling out of bed. But sometimes patients -- particularly frail, older ones with dementia or Alzheimer's -- can get trapped between a bedrail and the bed mattress, which can lead to serious injury or even death. About 350 bedrail-related deaths have been reported to the FDA since 1995. Thirty-five deaths were reported in the last year and a half. But federal officials say they believe these are just a fraction of the actual number of injuries and deaths. Larry Kessler, director of the FDA’s Office of Science and Engineering Laboratories, says many nursing homes and hospitals don't know that they're expected to report such injuries. Others may not be reporting the incidents because they're afraid of legal liability or don't want the bad publicity that results when these deaths occur.
