February 2019 Volume 22, Number 2 Save the Date
Life is for Everyone February 2019 Volume 22, Number 2 Save the Date DCRTL’s 27th annual LIFE Dinner is quickly approaching! Mark your calendars for: Friday, April 26, 2019 Our special guests are Tom Brejcha, founder, President & Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Society, and Martin Cannon, Thomas More Society Senior Counsel. Tom Brejcha Martin Cannon These gentlemen are defending some of the most important pro-life cases in our country, and are actively supporting some of the most important pro-life legislative bills as well! These include but are not limited to: They are representing undercover journalist, David Daleiden, against the attacks of Planned Parenthood. Active in supporting Iowa’s Heartbeat Bill: While in debate, house leaders called the Thomas More Society to see if they would defend the bill in court if it got challenged. Their commitment helped to secure the passage of the bill. As we know, Planned Parenthood sued – the Thomas More Society is now defending the bill, and very well must we add! Active in getting the Iowa 20-Week Abortion Ban bill through! They defended pro-life sidewalk advocates who have been sued for trying to save lives: New York pro-abortion Attorney General filed a lawsuit against a group of pro- life advocates to get them excluded from the sidewalks outside of their local abortion facility. The Thomas More Society prepared for 1.5 years to defend the case, fought a hard 4 weeks in court, and WON. If the Attorney General prevailed it could have affected sidewalk counseling nationwide. This is a huge deal! Not only have they been around the country defending life, but they also showed up right here in Dubuque to help respond when Planned Parenthood carelessly left behind thousands of patient records as they hurriedly left Dubuque.

California Teachers Association Advocate for Students and Public Education
HONOREE CALIFORNIA TEACHERS ASSOCIATION ADVOCATE FOR STUDENTS AND PUBLIC EDUCATION The California Teachers Association is the state’s larg- est professional employee union, representing more than 325,000 public school teachers, counselors, psychologists, social workers, librarians, nurses and education support professionals, among others. It has become one of the nation’s strongest advocates for students and educators, and is also a leading proponent of civil rights and economic equality. CTA has been a strong supporter of living wage policies, including LAANE’s 2008 LAX hotel living wage law. CTA has won many landmark victories in its 150-year his- tory, from legislation providing free public schools and free textbooks for all of California’s children to laws banning child labor in the state. In the 1940s, the union was one of a handful of organizations to protest the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. CTA led the critical campaign in 1988 to pass Prop. 98, the law guaranteeing minimum funding for K-12 schools and community colleges. Educators joined with parents in passing legislation to reduce class sizes in our earliest grades and led campaign efforts to pass more than $30 billion to build new schools and repair rundown facilities. CTA also played a pivotal role in defeating Gov. Schwarzeneg- ger’s 2005 ballot initiatives that would have cut school funding, undermined the due-process rights of educators and silenced the voices of public employees. Last year, CTA led the fight to pass Gov. Jerry Brown’s Proposition 30, which stopped $6 billion in education cuts to schools and colleges and will generate $47 billion for public schools, colleges and other essential services over the next seven years.

Dengue Fever Band Bio 2013
Chhom Nimol – vocals Senon Williams – bass Zac Holtzman – guitar, vocals Ethan Holtzman – keyboard Paul Smith – drums David Ralicke – horns At the close of 2012, DENGUE FEVER (www.denguefevermusic.com), a band widely recognized for its trademark blend of 60’s Cambodian pop and psychedelic rock, proudly announced the launch of its homegrown label, TUK TUK Records. The band’s newly established independence marks yet another chapter in the continual evolution of a group unlike many in the Los Angeles music scene. Currently in the studio recording tracks for their next release, DENGUE FEVER launched TUK TUK to release their back catalog, potential solo music from its band members, and previously released but long out-of- print music related to each band member. Their ﬁrst two releases included their long out-of-print eponymous debut (2003) and its critically acclaimed sophomore follow-up, Escape from Dragon House (2005). Amazon.com named Dragon House the #1 int’l release for 2005, and Mojo magazine named it in their Top 10 World Music releases of 2006. Each album has been expanded into digital deluxe editions with rare and unreleased bonus tracks from the band’s archives. Eminent musicians from around the world took notice of the band’s rise over their ﬁrst half-decade. In 2008, Real World Records Founder and musician, Peter Gabriel, licensed their third release, Venus on Earth, for the world and noted, "They're California-based but have taken '60's Cambodian pop as their main source of inspiration and it's done with style. Its spirited, impassioned." More kudos came from Metallica’s Kirk Hammett who handpicked the band’s song “One Thousand Tears of A Tarantula” from Dragon House for his Rolling Stone magazine ‘Best Music Of The Decade’ ballot - as the second best song of the entire decade.

2. Back in Black: Rethinking Core Competencies of the Recorded Music Industry Holly Tessler
JOBNAME: Wikstrom PAGE: 1 SESS: 4 OUTPUT: Thu Oct 22 13:05:33 2015 2. Back in black: rethinking core competencies of the recorded music industry Holly Tessler INTRODUCTION Thom Yorke, lead singer of the band Radiohead, made international news when, in a June 2010 interview, he declared the recorded music industry to be dying, calling it a ‘sinking ship’, predicting that it will be ‘months rather than years before the music business establishment completely folds’ (cited in Ross 2010). Yorke is not alone in his point of view, as popular media, industry pundits, academics and even consumers have, for years, been documenting the various ways in which the recorded music industry in general and the major labels in particular have been in a state of freefall, moving inevitably towards presumed obsolescence. Yet four years later, the recorded music ship still hasn’t sunk. But is Yorke correct in stating that it’s only a matter of time before record labels, particularly major labels, disappear? In one sense, statistics for what we typically conceive of as the ‘recorded music sector’ bear out his prediction, with the International Federation of the Phonographic Indus- try (IFPI) reporting that in 2013 the US recorded music sector was valued at $4.47 billion, or about 31 per cent of what it was worth at its $14.5 (US) billion peak in 1999 (Gordon 2011, p. xxvi) – certainly not an optimistic indication. My aim is to question whether the death of the recorded music industry, like Mark Twain’s, has been greatly exagger- ated. Provisional findings from research I’m undertaking at the time of writing suggest that recorded music is not in fact dying but instead undergoing a transformational process, rethinking its core competencies and developing strategic partnerships throughout the music and creative industries, moving away from a model based almost exclusively on consumer sales and towards one based on a range of business-to-business partnerships across the creative industries.

Songs Reimagined” playfully upend a convention of love songs that is so enshrined that it often escapes our notice: the use of A REVOLUTION opposite sex pronouns. With rare exceptions, love songs have rested on the assumption that a man is singing to or about a woman, and vice versa. In certain genres, like folk music, women OF THE HEART were permitted to sing from a man’s perspective, but never the reverse. And gay songwriters have been known to avoid specific pronoun references so that “the love that dare not speak its name,” as Oscar Wilde put it, could find a voice, however muted. There can be no doubt: our country – and maybe the entire world But the performances here leave no doubt about the same-sex – is going through what can only be described as a revolution nature of the singer’s desire.
