The information was released in two reports: “Cancer Statistics 2015,” published in “CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians,” and its companion, the consumer publication, “Cancer Facts & Figures 2015.” Each year, the ACS compiles the most recent data on cancer incidence, mortality, and survival based on incidence data from the National Cancer Institute, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Center for Health Statistics. Many factors have contributed to reduced cancer deaths in America, including advances in cancer prevention and early detection and treatment. Clearly, medical–imaging technol- ogy has been at the forefront of early detection and prolonging and saving lives. Various studies have linked the use of imaging examinations to longer life expect- ancy, declines in mortality, less need for exploratory surgery, fewer hospital admis- sions, and shorter lengths of hospital stays, according to research by the American College of Radiology and the Neiman Health Policy Institute, with other organizations also providing data for the report. Locally, one longtime business that special- izes in providing full medical–imaging services has seen firsthand the value of diagnostics, from both the patient and the physician perspective, and has internal data to support BBN photo — Adrienne B.

  • Jefferson's Tree of Liberty 9/3/08 2:17 AM
    Music Review: Jefferson Starship - Jefferson's Tree Of Liberty 9/3/08 2:17 AM Blogcritics is an online magazine, a community of writers and readers from around the globe. Publisher: Eric Olsen REVIEW Music Review: Jefferson Starship - Jefferson's Tree Of Liberty Written by David Bowling Published August 31, 2008 Life is good as founding member Paul Kantner remains in control of The Jefferson Starship. Long time cohort David Freiberg is still around as is guitarist Mark Aguilar. Cathy Richardson is now the lead female vocalist. She starred in the off Broadway production about Janis Joplin’s life. Richardson’s voice is powerful and pure but is closer to a Grace Slick sound than Joplin’s, which should come as no surprise. Even Marty Balin joins the Starship for a couple of tunes. Jefferson’s Tree Of Liberty finds the Starship traveling in a new and unique musical direction. Succinctly put, this is a folk album. Songs such as “Pastures Of Plenty” by Woody Guthrie, “Chimes Of Freedom” by Bob Dylan, and “I Ain’t Marching Anymore” by Phil Ochs are all presented in classic vocal form. Kantner and The Jefferson Starship can’t quite escape their rock ‘n’ roll roots as the instrumental background veers from the classic folk formula. Think the Weavers in rock mode. The first track sets the tone for most of the album. The old Weavers tune, “Wasn’t That A Time,” features the voices of Kantner, Freiberg, and Richardson. Richardson provides a wonderful balance on most of the harmonies contained on the album.

  • Big Legal Battles Over Rights in Bands' Names by Stan
    BIG LEGAL BATTLES OVER RIGHTS IN BANDS’ NAMES BY STAN SOOCHER, ESQ. Editor-in-Chief, Entertainment Law & Finance Author, Baby You’re a Rich Man: Suing the Beatles for Fun & Profit Associate Professor, Music & Entertainment Industry Studies University of Colorado Denver Campus Box 162, P.O. Box 173364 Denver, CO 80217-3364 303-315-7454 [email protected] www.stansoocher.com These materials © 2018, Stan Soocher. Reprinted with permission. All rights reserved. 1 From The Slants to The Doors and numerous other music groups, litigation over rights in band names is a common recurring music industry issue. The Slants’ case resulted in a groundbreaking U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2017 on trademark rights in controversial band names. The Doors case had it roots in a voting rights agreement the band members entered into decades before. And a recent dispute involving “Jefferson Starship” offers a cautionary tale about name rights battles, while considering—as did The Doors case—the legal parameters of use of a former band member’s name and likeness in conjunction with continued touring by other Jefferson Starship band members. This article covers some of the legal essentials of rights in band names, followed by discussion of The Slants, The Doors and Jefferson Starship litigations. Introduction to Trademark Rights Let’s begin by defining “trademarks” and “service marks.” A “trademark” is a name, phrase, word, or symbol—like a band name and logo on an album—that identifies the provider of a good. A “service mark” applies to a provider of services such as a band that performs in concerts.

With an audience full of people who looked like they knew Janis, crossed paths with Janis or at least worshipped at Janis' musical throne, the musical biography "Love, Janis" finally made its Bay Area debut. Based on a book of Joplin's letters compiled by her younger sister, Laura, "Love, Janis" is part play, part concert, and was first devised and directed by Randal Myler in the early'90s.

  • David Freiberg an Oral History Interview Conducted by Debra
    Mill Valley Oral History Program A collaboration between the Mill Valley Historical Society and the Mill Valley Public Library David Freiberg An Oral History Interview Conducted by Debra Schwartz in 2019 © 2019 by the Mill Valley Public Library TITLE: Oral History of David Freiberg INTERVIEWER: Debra Schwartz DESCRIPTION: Transcript, 47 pages INTERVIEW DATE: January 24, 2019 In this oral history, David Freiberg, a key figure in the Bay Area music scene from the 1960s onward, recounts his life, career, friends, and family. Born in Boston in 1938 and raised in Cincinnati, David moved out to California in 1959 where he first took up playing the guitar. Touching down in Oakland, he moved to San Francisco in the early 1960s and then over to Mill Valley a few years later. David gives a detailed account of his time playing guitar with Quicksilver Messenger Service in the ’60s and subsequently with Jefferson Airplane/Starship beginning in the ’70s. He discusses many of his friends from that legendary milieu — well-known musicians from the Bay Area rock scene like Marty Balin, John Cipollina, and Paul Kantner — and reminisces about what Mill Valley was like in that era. He also discusses his current life with his wife Linda, also a musician, and his relationship with his daughters, Jessica and Polly. 80 years old and actively touring at the time this oral history was conducted, David concludes by offering advice to up-and-coming musicians. © All materials copyright Mill Valley Public Library.

  • Jefferson Starship
    2008 BIOGRAPHIC INFORMATION JEFFERSON STARSHIP 2008 Bio Capsules PAUL KANTNER, along with MARTY BALIN founded JEFFERSON AIRPLANE in 1965. THE AIRPLANE were the biggest rock group in America during the 1960s and the first San Francisco band to sign a major record deal, paving the way for other legends like GRATEFUL DEAD & JANIS JOPLIN. They headlined the original WOODSTOCK FESTIVAL in 1969 and like THE BEATLES with whom they are critically compared, lasted a mere 7 years ... though their influence and impact on rock music continues well into the 21st century. In 1974 Mr. KANTNER created JEFFERSON STARSHIP and again with Mr. BALIN, enjoyed chart-topping success. PAUL, MARTY & JEFFERSON AIRPLANE were inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1996, the same year as PINK FLOYD. In 2005 they celebrated their 40th anniversary, playing 21 countries on their world tour. In 2007 they headlined “The Summer of Love 40th Anniversary Celebration” and performed at The Monterey Pop commemorative on the exact same stage as the historic landmark rock festival of 1967. JEFFERSON STARSHIP, the name created by PAUL for his 1971 solo debut “Blows Against The Empire” recording has endured 37 years as rock music’s premier “political science fiction” themed band. That recording was the first and only to ever be nominated for literary science fiction’s Hugo Award … a stellar achievement. DAVID FREIBERG is co-founder of the legendary Avalon/Carousel/Fillmore era San Francisco band who along with THE DEAD & THE AIRPLANE), often shared the bill. DAVID is an extraordinary singer, producer and multi- instrumentalist who plays guitar, bass, viola and keyboards.
