August 1, 2021 August 1, 2021 All week long I've been looking at the weather forecast for today and it's looked like a wash- out. Yet it's 3:00 AM and the rain hasn't started yet. Do you think that they could have made a mistake . again? It's possible but probably not with everyone predicting the same thing. We had scheduled the middle and high school youth from St. Paul to come over and swim today, and the reports tell me that there is going to be a postponement,, stay tuned. Yesterday started cool, but quickly warmed up and became a nice day, at least a nice day to watch two baseball games in the morning. During Graham's first game I was wearing a jacket, and during Theo's game the jacket was off and I was sweating. That's Western New York weather for you. What today brings is still a mystery. There is one thing that will occur today, and the weather will not stop it, and that is meeting together with my St. Paul family to offer our praise and thanksgiving to our God. This is our Creator and Heavenly Father Who sent His Son Jesus to Earth to live a perfect life, then die in our place to save us from our sinful natures. Yes indeed, thank You Jesus. Let us meet up and say thank you today, sing songs of praise, and celebrate being in His awesome presence. I'll be there this morning at 8:00 and 10:45 and I'll leave the lights on and the doors open, you're all invited. God bless you all this morning, and every morning. Amen. Our Sunday song is "This Train." I haven't heard this in many years and it popped up in VBS this week, but this rendition is being performed by Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, and Jerry Lee Lewis. Try getting this one out of your head today. .

  • Million Dollar Quartet” by Colin Escott & Floyd Mutrux at the Hippodrome Theatre Through December 2
    “Million Dollar Quartet” By Colin Escott & Floyd Mutrux At the Hippodrome Theatre through December 2 By James Cooper MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS … PRODUCTION Flashing lights, shimmering jackets and long musical solos radiate through the production of “Million Dollar Quartet,” now at the Hippodrome Theatre. Though the special effects and costumes are beneficial in some instances, the show lacks emphasis in the one area it should stress the most: the music. The whole story focuses on the decisions of four major musicians from the 1950s: Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley. Music is the main concept within the script, but it certainly isn’t the main concept within the performance. The show focuses on a single event: the night that all four musicians of the “Million Dollar Quartet” were present in the same space at the same time, the Sun Records Studio in Memphis on December 4, 1956. Elvis (Cody Slaughter) used to be a member of the Sun Records family but then he switched to RCA, a bigger label. Since this change, Elvis has lost contact with his former producer, Sam Phillips (Vince Nappo). As Elvis returns with his girlfriend Dyanne (Kelly Lamont) he makes it clear to Sam that he wishes he had stayed at Sun. Sam too wishes that Elvis had stayed, but his main focus is now on producing Johnny (David Elkins) and the up-and-coming Jerry Lee (Martin Kaye). All the while Carl (Robert Britton Lyons) has to decide whether or not he wants to leave Sun Records or move on to Columbia.

  • An Historical Policy Analysis of the Carl D. Perkins Legislation: Examining the History, Creation, Implementation and Reauthorization of the Law
    AN HISTORICAL POLICY ANALYSIS OF THE CARL D. PERKINS LEGISLATION: EXAMINING THE HISTORY, CREATION, IMPLEMENTATION AND REAUTHORIZATION OF THE LAW BY AIMEE MICHELLE LAFOLLETTE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Policy Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Yoon Pak, Chair Professor James D. Anderson Professor Debra Bragg Associate Professor Christopher Span ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the historical development of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational Education Act of 1984, with the incorporation of ―special populations‖ as a provision in the law from 1963. From 1917 through 1963, vocational funding primarily supported teacher training, research, program improvement, and expansion of vocational programs, in 1963 acknowledging the social climate of the time Congress included provisions to support services for disadvantaged students. In 1984, Congress established prescriptive provisions attaching funds to serve and address the needs of underserved students described as special populations. Vocational education‘s focus expanded from 1963 -1984 to included provisions to create programs eliminating sexual bias and stereotyping. This dissertation traces the foundations by which Congress was led to focus on access to vocational education programs and prescribe funding to serve handicapped, single parents, displaced homemakers, economically disadvantaged, academically disadvantaged, students with limited English proficiency, and gender equity. ii To my children James and Jacob iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I believe Malcolm Gladwell, author of Tipping Point, said it best when he stated that, ―…the people we surround ourselves with have a profound effect on who we are.‖ Personal success can never be attributed to a single individual.

  • OH, PRETTY PARODY: CAMPBELL V. ACUFF-ROSE MUSIC, INC
    Volume 8, Number 1 Fall 1994 OH, PRETTY PARODY: CAMPBELL v. ACUFF-ROSE MUSIC, INC. Lisa M. Babiskin* INTRODUCTION For the second time ever, the Supreme Court addressed the affirmative defense of fair use to copyright infringement in the context of parody in Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc. ~ The unanimous opinion found a parody rap version of Roy Orbison's song "Oh, Pretty Woman" by the group 2 Live Crew could be a fair use within the exceptions to the protections of the Copyright Act of 1976. 2 The fair use defense is an inconsistent and confusing area that has been called "the most trouble- some [issue] in the whole law of copyright. "3 The Campbell decision helps preserve the flexible, case-by-case analysis intended by Congress and recognizes the value of parody both as a form of social criticism and catalyst in literature. The decision affords wide latitude to parodists, emphasizing the irrelevance of the judge's personal view of whether the parody is offensive or distasteful. It is unclear whether future courts will interpret this holding to be limited to fair use of parody in the context of song, or whether they will construe it more broadly to confer substantial freedom to parodists of all media. It is also unclear what effect this decision will have on the music industry's practice of digital sampling. This article will review the historical background of fair use in the context of parody and the case law preceding the Supreme Court's decision. A detailed discussion of the lower courts' decisions will be followed by analysis of the Supreme Court's decision and its implications for the future.

  • Roy Orbison by Dave Hoekstra May 10, 1987
    Roy Orbison By Dave Hoekstra May 10, 1987---- MALIBU, Calif. We were unsure about ingenues in the front row of the class and goals in the back seat of the car. But we were certain about Roy Orbison. The first time I contacted a case of the Orbies was upon the demise of my first relationship in junior high school. She implied it was over by taking a pair of pliers to a dime-store ring with a design of a knight in shining armor. I would sleep with the transistor radio under the pillow; that night WLS played "Only the Lonely." The message was clear. I was not alone. At the second annual induction dinner for the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in January, Bruce Springsteen introduced Orbison by explaining, "In '74, just prior to going in the studio to make `Born To Run,' I was looking at Duane Eddy for his guitar sound and I was listening to a collection of Phil Spector records and I was listening to `Roy Orbison's All-Time Greatest Hits.' I'd lay in bed at night with just the lights of my stereo on and I'd hear `Crying,' `Love Hurts,' `Running Scared,' `Only the Lonely' and `It's Over' fillin' the room. "Some rock 'n' roll reinforces friendship and community, but for me, Roy's ballads were always best when you were alone and in the dark." I read that quote to Orbison during a recent conversation we had at his home here and asked him where he reached for a style that is isolated yet so personal.
