  • Amelia Island Concours D'elegance
    One more for the bucket list: Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance It was Sunday at 10:30 AM, and I had missed my chance to enter the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance before the line into the show field grew to what looked like thousands of people. This was just the tip of the iceberg, as thousands more already had gained entrance. It was my first Amelia Island Concours, but no, I don’t regret being late to the show. Early that morning, I had walked down to the parking garage on a tip that there would be a couple cars worth photographing on their way out to the field: the Porsche Museum’s 909 Bergspyder and hallowed flat-16-powered 917 PA. In the garage, it was easy to admire their curves, their history, and their cylinder count — 24 between the two of them. Behind the chain-link fence guarding the RM Auction cars, the two Porsches sat. Not another car back there could sway my attention. At 8 AM, they were tugged from their slumber by a golf cart and pulled to the show field. A few Porsches parked on my side of the fence were able to peel me away from the museum-kept racecars for a few moments. The first was the No. 67 BF Goodrich 1985 962, which was driven by Amelia Island honoree Jochen Mass at the 1985 24 Hours of Daytona, where he placed third overall. PCA member Bob Russo, the man who restored it, was standing by its side and spoke to me about the build and how it was finished just the week before.

    MEMORANDUM DATE: October 9, 2012 TO: City Council Members FROM: Jennifer Bruno, Deputy Director RE: Resolution prioritizing optional elements to be included in the New Performing Arts Center project PURPOSE OF THIS BRIEFING Review Administration’s proposed prioritization of optional elements for the project to inform the City’s project team going forward Consider a resolution (tentatively on Oct 23rd) formally setting the prioritized list of optional elements for the project KEY ELEMENTS A. The Administration has provided a resolution for Council consideration that sets the order of prioritization for optional elements to be included in the new Performing Arts Center project. B. The Administration has provided their recommended prioritized list based on public feedback from various public workshops, meetings with stakeholders including various arts groups (see Appendix 1 of the Administration’s transmittal), recommendations from professional staff, as well as feedback from the RDA Board of Directors and Subcommittee. The Council may wish to review this list and decide whether or not it concurs with the prioritization proposed by the Administration or if the Council would like to re-prioritize (see list below). 1. Note: The Administration is continuing to conduct public workshops and solicit feedback via traveling workshops, social media, online tools and presentations to various stakeholders. Because all public workshops have not concluded, the Administration has indicated that they will report back to the Council if feedback from future public input alters the prioritization of optional elements. 2. The Administration indicates in order to meet the project’s established schedule it would be ideal to give direction to the architects as soon as possible so that all elements can be considered early in the design phase and can be factored into the project budget.

    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 U.S. CONST. art. I, § 8, cl. 8 (providing that "Congress shall have Power... To Promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries") (emphasis added). 2. 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.

One of them was James A. Garfield. During a break, they were sitting in the congressional cafeteria. To pass the time, one of them, namely Mr. Garfield, suggested that they take a look at the Pythagorean Theorem. Even though this famous theorem had already been studied and proven 2000 years ago, he wanted to come up with a new proof.

  • OUT of EDEN by Brett Slaughter
    OUT OF EDEN by Brett Slaughter 503-704-3616 FADE IN: EXT. FLY IN - PORTLAND, OR - DAY A crow flies out of the clouds toward the Burnside Bridge. Robert Cray's "Out of Eden" starts playing. The Portland skyline shines in the sun. The Willamette River sparkles around the Burnside bridge. A five story apartment building sits in the middle of a rough industrial section of town. The shadow of a tall man wearing a stylish straw hat, reflects off of a white 1995 Cadillac Sedan DeVille. The crow lands in front of him on the sidewalk. The man's shoes are impeccably polished. His Armani suit pressed and clean. His silk tie shines in the sun. We then see JOE SPENCE's face, a black man with a strong build and an appealing look. In his fifties, he still possess a serious, yet king of cool persona. Spence sees an older black lady on the other side of the street waiting for a bus. He tips his hat to her. She smiles back at him. He takes a step forward and opens the passenger door. He gently lays his suit coat on the seat and then closes the door. He opens the driver's side door and leans against the car while glancing at the crow. SPENCE (V.O) It was mid October when it all went down. I wanted out of Eden, but I never thought it would happen the way it did. Spence shuts the driver side door and starts the car. SPENCE (V.O) I was a real shit to whoever I needed to be a shit too.
