Finally, he took off and flew for the first time in his life. We are all very excited!” On April 6, a juvenile bald eagle arrived at CROW in critical condition, unable to move because a long string was wrapped around its wings and legs. The prognosis was very grim, as the string had cut into its bones. It was placed on strict cage rest: even though it was fitted with a splint and cast, any significant pressure could have shattered his bones. After three weeks, follow-up radio- graphs were taken at Coral Veterinary Clinic in Fort Myers, as CROW’s X-ray camera had ceased to function. The images showed that the bird’s fractures had healed, but it Kyler Kouril, Alex Ashton and Liza Agibalova had lost some mobility in its foot and the hock joint (like a human’s ankle joint). The eagle was moved to the large flight cage to begin physical therapy on its foot Cinco De Mayo Celebration and to exercise its chest muscles, which were weak due to its previous inability to flap its wings or fly.

  • Narrative Inheritance: the Facts and Fictions That Shape Our Lives
    NARRATIVE INHERITANCE: THE FACTS AND FICTIONS THAT SHAPE OUR LIVES A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Caroline Jennifer Comport, B.A. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. April 2, 2012 Copyright 2012 by Caroline Jennifer Comport All Rights Reserved ii NARRATIVE INHERITANCE: THE FACTS AND FICTIONS THAT SHAPE OUR LIVES Caroline Jennifer Comport, B.A. Mentor: William J. O’Brien, Ph.D. ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to explore the powerful impulse that drives people of all backgrounds to research their family of origin. In addition to understanding the motivating forces behind genealogical pursuits, this thesis will attempt to answer the following questions: How does who we think we are impact who we become? How is our life story shaped by the stories we believe about our family of origin? How do myth, reality, perception, and meaning influence the way we consciously and unconsciously frame and enact our life story? Does understanding our past give meaning to our present? This research endeavor employs a phenomenological approach to analyze data for meaning and themes. To mine and study this data, the author intentionally embarks on her own genealogical quest and describes the journey from a first-person point of view. The author uses the Comport family as a case study—drawing extensively on the life events of her paternal grandfather, Lionel Frederick Comport. The author chronicles the family’s transformation from 19th century English farmers to 20th century film pioneers.

  • No Oscar for the Oscar? Behind Hollywood's Walk of Greed
    Networking Knowledge 7(4) All About Oscar No Oscar for the Oscar? Behind Hollywood’s Walk of Greed ELIZABETH CASTALDO LUNDEN, Stockholm University ABSTRACT In 1966 the popular interest in the Academy Awards propelled Paramount Pictures to produce The Oscar (Embassy Pictures-Paramount Pictures, 1966), a film based on the homonymous novel by Richard Sale. The Oscar tells the story of an unscrupulous actor willing to do anything in his power to obtain the golden statuette, regardless of whom he has to take down along the way. Building up on fantasies of social mobility, we see the protagonist (Frankie) display his vanity, arrogance and greed to create a less than likeable character whose only hope to put his career back on track lies in obtaining the precious statuette. The movie intends to be a sneak peek behind the scenes of the biggest award ceremony, but also behind the lifestyle of the Hollywood elites, their glory and their misery as part of the Hollywood disposal machinery. Despite not being financed or officially supported by the Academy, the film intertwines elements of fiction and reality by using real footage of the event, and featuring several contemporary representatives of the movie industry such as Edith Head, Hedda Hopper, Frank and Nancy Sinatra, playing cameo roles, adding up to the inter- textual capacities of the story. Head’s participation was particularly exploited for the promotion of the film, taking advantage of her position at Paramount, her status as a multiple winner, and her role as a fashion consultant for the Academy Awards. This paper is an analytical account of the film’s production process.

Finding source materials such as copies of canon films and appropriate scholarly resources is complicated by library lending policies that do not extend to media items, or foreign films with formats different from those collected by one’s institution. This article examines such problematic issues for patrons looking for films and includes personal experiences at several research institutions in both Los Angeles and Paris, with advice and insight for the potential researcher writing about film for academic purposes.

Gilbert , Department of History Between 1930 and 1947 (and ultimately, to 1967) , the Hollywood film industry adhered to a set of rules, known as the Production Code, that set boundaries on the content of movies produced and distributed by the major studios. Influenced by Catholic theology, and written by a Catholic lay person an d a Catholic priest, the Production Code and the films of the Production Code -era have been mined by historians for evidence of Catholic censorship in Hollywood. This thesis explores another side the relationship between Hollywood and the Church, exploring the productive relationship between these major twentieth -century institutions, and the cultural negotiations that resulted in the representation of Catholicism as the American religion of the silver screen.

Today this group of librarians is explor- ing new models for expressing bibliographic description; most likely at least one of these will replace the MARC21 system of encoding bibliographic data. Resource Description and Access (RDA) has largely taken over Anglo-American Cataloging Rules (AACR2 Rev.) as a catalog- ing standard. Digital collections which require description and access are expanding within our libraries. Knowledgeable staff is required to create and provide quality metadata to individual pieces of digital resources as well as across extremely large groups of similar types of objects to enable discovery. Cataloging department heads are looking at new processes with particular emphasis on incor- porating

  • Report Team Members: Warren Sherk, Sharon Mizota, Lauren Sin
    SAA Jump In Too/Two Program Report Team Members: Warren Sherk, Sharon Mizota, Lauren Sin The changing digital landscape of filmmaking has propelled staff at the Margaret Herrick Library to start thinking about our digital initiatives and the future of archiving and providing access to special collections materials. The catalyst for this initiative was receiving two hard drives from the widow of film production designer J. Michael Riva in February 2014. Upon receiving these media and anticipating more to come, a cross-departmental team was formed to help shape a robust digital preservation strategy. We began creating requirements for our fledgling forensic work station, researching preservation systems, and creating a table of anticipated file formats for future acquisitions. The timing of the SAA Jump In Too/Two program was serendipitous. The program provided an excellent gateway to begin analyzing the scope of our current holdings. Two departments in the Margaret Herrick Library participated in the SAA Jump In Too/Two program: Special Collections and Graphic Arts. Lauren Sin, Digital and Audio Archivist inventoried the majority of the materials, which was housed in Special Collections. Sharon Mizota, Production Art Librarian inventoried the materials housed in Graphic Arts. Warren Sherk, Manager of Special Collections provided guidance and oversight throughout the process. To begin the project, we ran several queries in our Inmagic databases, which hold our manuscript and graphic arts finding aids at the box, folder, and item level. Our queries were based on keywords such as CD, CD-ROM, digital, DVD, disk, disc, etc. We also asked our staff processors to flag records they knew to contain digital media.

  • Oscars Wild: the Impact of Studio Politics on the Academy Awards Post-WWII (1946-1950)
    Monica Sandler Oscars Wild: The Impact of Studio Politics on the Academy Awards Post-WWII (1946-1950) Abstract This essay examines the Oscars as a promotional tool within the American film industry in a period that saw Hollywood reach new box office highs followed by extreme turbulence as antitrust lawsuits called into ques- tion the legality of the entire studio system. The Oscars, and the wider Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences organization, faced a similar phrase of crisis, having to consider options for self-funding and indepen- dence from the Hollywood studios in a way it had never before. The postwar period saw the Academy Awards reach new heights of popularity as Hollywood studios expanded movie campaigning exclusively focused on the annual ceremony. This paper examines the role that the event played within the studio system during this tur- bulent moment, while also considering how the Academy sought to utilize its most valuable asset to weather the wider storms occurring across Hollywood. In December of 1948, just months before the annu- Picture win for Laurence Olivier’s Hamlet (1948) al Academy Awards ceremony, production compa- and a sudden postwar surge in global competition nies across Hollywood announced that they would for Oscar’s most prestigious prizes.4 Whatever the no longer send money to help pay for the event’s actual intentions, the Academy and its awards were production costs.
