The phenomenon can be witnessed in a grainy video shot in 2003 by a dashboard camera in a Cincinnati police car. In it, a patrol car pulls up quickly to the parking lot of a White Castle in Cincinnati.

  • Brand Guide & Graphic Standards
    Brand Guide & Graphic Standards R e vi sed 11.04 N P R ® Corporate Identity Sta n d a r d s INTRODUCTION In a highly competitive media world, the need for a strong, clearly-defined company identity could not be greater. While being a giant enterprise is not one of NPR’s goals, as a non-profit organization we are still faced with the impact that a largely unknown and out of sync image has on our organization. A weak and unknown identity can impair NPR’s ability to develop the best possible programming, secure corporate underwriting, recruit the brightest talent, and ultimately serve the public in the best possible manner. Consequently, in February 1997, NPR, working with CKS New York, a consulting firm specializing in brand and identity development, began developing a program to enhance its identity. In addition, NPR will continue its campaign to strengthen its identity by establishing proper guidelines for use of its visual identity, including all of its registered and unregistered marks. I. NPR IDENTITY The key elements of the NPR identity system are the NPR logo, a graphic expression of the organization’s personality, and the NPR audio logo, an aural expression of the organization’s personality.The NPR logo is composed of a graphic representation of the three letters “n,” “p,” and “r,” and does not include the name “National Public Radio.” The new NPR logo is a service mark of National Public Radio, Inc. and must always be displayed with the “SM” symbol until it is officially registered as a service mark by the U.S.

  • Introduction
    MERLOT Journal of Online Learning and Teaching Vol. 5, No. 2, June 2009 Integrating Online Multimedia into College Course and Classroom: With Application to the Social Sciences Michael V. Miller Department of Sociology The University of Texas at San Antonio San Antonio, TX 78249 USA [email protected] Abstract Description centers on an approach for efficiently incorporating online media resources into course and classroom. Consideration is given to pedagogical rationale, types of media, locating programs and clips, content retrieval and delivery, copyright issues, and typical problems experienced by instructors and students using online resources. In addition, selected media-relevant websites appropriate to the social sciences along with samples of digital materials gleaned from these sites are listed and discussed. Keywords: video, audio, media, syllabus, documentaries, Internet, YouTube, PBS Introduction Multimedia resources can markedly augment learning content by virtue of generating vivid and complex mental imagery. Indeed, instruction dependent on voice lecture and reading assignments alone often produces an overly abstract treatment of subject matter, making course concepts difficult to understand, especially for those most inclined toward concrete thinking. Multimedia can provide compelling, tangible applications that help breakdown classroom walls and expose students to the external world. It can also enhance learning comprehension by employing mixes of sights and sounds that appeal to variable learning styles and preferences. Quality materials, in all, can help enliven a class by making subject matter more relevant, experiential, and ultimately, more intellectually accessible. Until recently, nonetheless, film and other forms of media were difficult to exploit. They had to be located, ordered, and physically procured well in advance either through purchase, library loan, or broadcast dubbing.

This 30-minute documentary, produced by WUSF, was written, directed and narrated by Tampa filmmaker Larry Elliston and underwritten by the Florida Humanities Council. Why St. Petersburg? “It’s a perfect example of the new urbanism that’s blossoming around the country,” says Elliston. “As baby boomers and younger people turn to urban living, St. Petersburg, with its waterfront and historic charm, walkability, and vibrant arts and performance scene, is an ideal destination.” Elliston’s ode to St. Pete “covers a lot of ground,” including a look back at its history, and interviews with the city’s movers and shakers.

Bedrails are simple, metal devices that are supposed to be helpful. Patients use the rails to pull themselves up, and they can prevent patients from rolling out of bed. But sometimes patients -- particularly frail, older ones with dementia or Alzheimer's -- can get trapped between a bedrail and the bed mattress, which can lead to serious injury or even death. About 350 bedrail-related deaths have been reported to the FDA since 1995. Thirty-five deaths were reported in the last year and a half. But federal officials say they believe these are just a fraction of the actual number of injuries and deaths. Larry Kessler, director of the FDA’s Office of Science and Engineering Laboratories, says many nursing homes and hospitals don't know that they're expected to report such injuries. Others may not be reporting the incidents because they're afraid of legal liability or don't want the bad publicity that results when these deaths occur.

The birth of communism in the So- viet Union could be considered equivalent to an asteroid hitting earth, it’s impact would not only last throughout its duration as a union, but beyond - into the 21st century. The Soviet Union developed into an undeniable sphere of influence, and the world was not able to avoid the aftershocks.
