  • The Newberry Annual Report 2016 – 17
    The Newberry A nnua l Repor t 2016 – 17 Letter from the Chair and the President hat a big and exciting year the Newberry had in 2016-17! As Wan institution, we have been very much on the move, and on behalf of the Board of Trustees and Staff we are delighted to offer you this summary of the destinations we reached last year and our plans for moving forward in 2017-18. Financially, the Newberry enjoyed much success in the past year. Excellent performance by the institution’s investments, up 13.2 percent overall, put us well ahead of the performance of such bellwether endowments as those of Harvard and Yale. Our drawdown on investments for operating expenses was a modest 3.8 percent, well Chair of the Board of Trustees Victoria J. Herget and below the traditional target of 5.0 percent. In fact, of total operating Newberry President David Spadafora expenses only 22.9 percent had to be funded through spending from the endowment—a reduction by more than half of our level of reliance on endowment a decade ago. Partly this change has resulted from improvement in Annual Fund giving: in 2016-17 we achieved the greatest-ever single- year tally of new gifts for unrestricted operating expenses, $1.75 million, some 42 percent higher than just before the economic crisis 10 years ago. Funding for restricted purposes also grew last year, with generous gifts from foundations and individuals for specific programs and projects. Partly, too, our good financial results are owing to continued judicious control of expenses, exemplified by the fact that total staffing levels were 2.7 percent lower in 2016-17 than in 2006-07.

  • 2017 CATALOGUE for Over Forty Years Omnibus Press Has Been Publishing the Stories That Matter from the Music World
    2017 CATALOGUE For over forty years Omnibus Press has been publishing the stories that matter from the music world. Omnibus Press is the World’s/Europe’s largest specialist publisher devoted to music writing, with around thirty new titles a year, with a backlist of over two hundred and seventy titles currently in print and many more as digital downloads. Omnibus Press covers pop, rock, classical, metal, country, psyche, prog, electronic, dance, rap, jazz and many more genres, in a variety of formats. With books that tell stories through graphic art and photography, memoirs and biographies, Omnibus has constantly evolved its list to challenge what a music book can be and this year we are releasing our first talking books. Among Omnibus Press’ earliest acquisitions was Rock Family Trees, by acclaimed music archivist Pete Frame, three editions of which remain in print to this day and have been the basis of two BBC TV series. Over the following decades Omnibus published many best-selling, definitive biographies on some of rock’s greatest superstars. These include Morrissey & Marr: The Severed Alliance by Johnny Rogan, Dear Boy: The Life Of Keith Moon by Tony Fletcher, Uptight: The Velvet Underground Story by Victor Bockris, Catch A Fire: The Life of Bob Marley by Timothy White, Stevie Nicks - Visions, Dreams & Rumours by Zoë Howe, Without Frontiers The Life And Music Of Peter Gabriel by Daryl Easlea and Under The Ivy: The Life & Music of Kate Bush and George Harrison: Behind The Locked Door, both by Graeme Thomson, all of which are regularly cited by magazines and critics as being amongst the finest rock biographies ever published.

Dell Katherine “Kit” Duffy Adrienne J. Goodman Marie J. Kuda Mary D. Powers 2 3 4 CHICAGO LGBT HALL OF FAME The Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame (formerly the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame) is both a historic event and an exhibit. Through the Hall of Fame, residents of Chicago and the world are made aware of the contributions of Chicago’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities and the communities’ efforts to eradicate bias and discrimination. With the support of the City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations, its Advisory Council on Gay and Lesbian Issues (later the Advisory Council on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues) established the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame (changed to the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame in 2015) in June 1991. The inaugural induction ceremony took place during Pride Week at City Hall, hosted by Mayor Richard M. Daley. This was the first event of its kind in the country. Today, after the advisory council’s abolition and in partnership with the City, the Hall of Fame is in the custody of Friends of the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame, an Illinois not- for-profit corporation with a recognized charitable tax-deductible status under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3).

  • The Frames and Depictions of Transgender Athletes in Sports Illustrated
    THESIS DECOLONIZING TRANSNESS IN SPORT MEDIA: THE FRAMES AND DEPICTIONS OF TRANSGENDER ATHLETES IN SPORTS ILLUSTRATED Submitted By Tammy Rae Matthews Department of Journalism and Media Communication In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Science Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Fall 2016 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Catherine Knight Steele Co-Advisor: Kris Kodrich Joseph Champ Caridad Souza Copyright by Tammy Rae Matthews 2016 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT DECOLONIZING TRANSNESS IN SPORT MEDIA: THE FRAMES AND DEPICTIONS OF TRANSGENDER ATHLETES IN SPORTS ILLUSTRATED This discourse analysis examines depictions of trans athletes in Sports Illustrated and sport culture through the lens of queer theory and the interpretive-packages model proposed by Gamson and Modigliani (1989). Four interpretive packages emerged from the print content: (1) Marginalization, (2) Labeling, (3) Fighting and Fairness and (4) Pride and Affirmation. The results illustrate that discourse has generally become more sensitive to trans issues. The author presents these results with cautious optimism. Blindingly affirming and romancing the transgender can be equally as superficial as marginalization, and representations of trans athletes secured by one person are problematic. Researchers and sport organizations should dismantle antiquated, coercive sex segregation in traditional sport and decolonize how it contributes to gender-based oppression. The author recommends that media outlets focus on presenting fair, accurate and

From 1994 to 2012, Dempsey served as commissioner of the Chicago Public Library system. When she started, the city's public library system was, in the words of the Chicago Tribune , "the runt of the litter" among local cultural institutions. Only two libraries had Internet access, numerous branches operated out of tiny storefronts or leased trailers, and the staff was demoralized. Nearly two decades later, when she resigned as commissioner, Dempsey had spearheaded the construction of forty-four new libraries, created the nationally acclaimed One Book, One Chicago citywide reading program, and initiated innov­ ative digital-learning initiatives such as YOU media.

    Failing Our Children II. Testing - What’s the Problem with ‘No Child Left Untested’? “The statewide test bombards the schools with pressure… In the second week of school we get things from the teacher like, “This was on the test last year so listen up”… The pressure restricts teachers from doing their job… They can’t help struggling students fully understand the material because when the student starts to finally kind of get it, it’s time to move on so they can get the entire curriculum taught. … The test pressure just about kills some kids. I have never heard a student say, All this pressure from the test gets me fired up! More often, I see kids cracking. They start freaking out… the test is taking away the real meaning of school. Instead of learning new things and getting tools for life, the mission of the schools is becoming to do well on the test.” — Seventh-grade student quoted in Louisville Courier Journal, February 10, 2003 “Nancy Baker, a reading teacher at Bristol Borough Junior-Senior High School, is discouraged by the emphasis on test-taking. Her students, who used to write reports on 11 books a year, now read only eight books because they have to prepare for the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment test, which relies on short-paragraph writing and multiple-choice questions.” — “Battles Ahead over No Child Left Behind,” Philadelphia Inquirer, by Dale Mezzacappa, Toni Callas and Kellie Patrick, Nov. 18, 2003. “Accountability should not rest on a single day, a single hour, a single Texas, which gave testing situation.

The organization changed its name to the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) in 1997 and continues to aim to protect students from bullying and harassment, to advance comprehensive safe schools laws and policies, to empower principles to make their schools safer, and to build the skills of educators to teach respect for all people. The Chicago chapter of GLSTN was founded in 1994 and focused on community organizing, advocacy, and in-school programming. The chapter later renamed itself to Creating Safe Schools for Illinois and then in 2007, merged with the Coalition for Education on Sexual Orientation (CESO) to found the Illinois Safe Schools Alliance (the Alliance).
