  • Does the Primetime Television Upfront Still Matter? by Steve Sternberg
    May 2019 #62 __________________________________________________________________________________________ _____ Does the Primetime Television Upfront Still Matter? By Steve Sternberg For American television viewers, the start of the new primetime television season is still four months away. For insiders at media agencies, networks, and advertisers, however, the Upfront season is placing thoughts of September squarely into May. Of course, the very idea of a fall TV season in today’s video world seems old fashioned. The broadcast networks might still adhere to fall and mid-season schedules for debuting new shows, but their competitors do not. Ad-supported cable networks premiere many new series when the broadcast nets are airing repeats and some limited-run series (mostly non-sweeps months and the summer). Premium cable networks, such as HBO, Showtime, and Starz, air new shows throughout the year. Streaming services, such as Netflix and Amazon Prime, release full seasons of new series whenever they happen to be ready. CBS All Access does as well, although it releases new episodes on a weekly schedule, rather than all at once. In a television landscape of 10-episode cable series, and streaming services where you can binge- watch entire seasons, viewers don’t necessarily think in terms of TV seasons anymore. Nevertheless, the broadcast networks still hold onto a schedule that starts in the fall. Throughout April and May, cable and broadcast networks give presentations to the ad industry in which they unveil their fall schedules and discuss

  • The Voice System of Amharic
    Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Education The Voice system of Amharic Desalegn Belaynew Workneh A dissertation for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor - December 2019 The Voice System of Amharic Desalegn Belaynew Workneh A thesis submitted for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor UiT – The Arctic University of Norway Center for Advanced Study in Theoretical Linguistics (CASTL) December 2019 Abstract This dissertation examines the voice system of Amharic. I have studied the voice features including an anticausative and a pair of causative functional items focusing on their selection, interpretation and syntactic projection. The voice items display some interesting properties that made them worth an in­depth inves­ tigation. First, the single anticausative morpheme is associated with multiple constructions such as the passive, reciprocal, reflexive, middle and the like. This raises the foundational theoretical problem on the relation between form and meaning. Furthermore, the causative items display quite striking contrasts with the anticausative in selection. The direct causative item filters verb classes. The indirect causative does a similar filtering, but mostly on the types of external arguments. The anticausative, on the other hand, imposes little selection restriction on the verb and argument types. How the selection patterns are correlated with the interpretation and with the syntactic posi­ tion of the voice items is the main concern of this study. In this dissertation, I have proposed that all the crucial properties of the voice items, includ­ ing the observed distinctions in selection, projection and interpretation, can be explained by understanding the voice items two types–those that belong to both the syntactic and semantic domains, and those belong to the syntax only.

  • Seinfeld, Jerry
    Jerry Seinfeld created The Seinfeld Chronicles with Larry David in 1988 for NBC. The show was later renamed Seinfeld . By its fourth season, it had become the most popular and successful sitcom on American television. The final episode aired in 1998, and the show has been a popular syndicated re-run. After he ended his sitcom, Seinfeld returned to New York City to make a comeback with his stand-up comedy rather than stay in Los Angeles and continue his acting career. In 1998 he went on tour and recorded a comedy special, titled I'm Telling You for the Last Time . The process of developing and performing new material at clubs around the world was chronicled in a 2002 documentary, Comedian , which also featured fellow comic Orny Adams and was directed by Christian Charles. On February 25, 2007, Seinfeld appeared at the 79th Academy Awards as the presenter for "Best Documentary." Before announcing the nominations, he did a short stand-up comedy routine about the unspoken agreement between movie theater owners and movie patrons. On October 4, 2007, Seinfeld made a brief return to NBC, guest- starring as himself in the 30 Rock episode "SeinfeldVision." On February 24, 2008, at the 80th Academy Awards, Seinfeld appeared as the voice of his Bee Movie animated character Barry, presenting "Best Animated Short." Before announcing the nominees, he showed a montage of film clips featuring bees, saying that they were some of his early work (as Barry). In 2012 Seinfeld started a Web series, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee , in which he would pick up a fellow comedian in a different car each episode and take them out for coffee and conversation.

    COPYRIGHT: DERIVATIVE WORKS: POPULAR CULTURE DERIVATIVES CASTLE ROCK ENTERTAINMENT, INC. V. CAROL PUBLISHING GROUP, INC. By Elisa Vitanza 1. INTRODUCTION Society benefits from the creation and dissemination of new, creative works. The Federal copyright system serves primarily to enhance the pub- lic interest through the promotion of creativity.' Copyright laws struggle to strike a balance between granting exclusive property rights and en- hancing the public domain so that the next generation of artists can use pre-existing works to generate more creativity. 2 The Copyright Act 3 pro- vides authors with incentives to create and share their creativity with the public through the grant of exclusive rights, including the right to prepare derivative works.4 Derivative artists also require incentives to invest in © 1999 Berkeley Technology Law Journal & Berkeley Center for Law and Technology. 1.

See Landes & Posner, An Economic Analysis of Copyright, 18 J.LEGAL STUD. 325-33, 344-46 (1989). Landes and Posner argue that copyright protection attempts to efficiently balance the benefits of creating new works with the losses from limiting ac- cess and the costs of administering copyright protection. Id. The economic theory of copyright is the dominant theory in the United States. However, commentators, particu- larly outside the United States, rely on moral or personal rights theories to justify copy- right protection.
