  • Reauthorizing the Satellite Home Viewing Provisions in the Communications Act and the Copyright Act: Issues for Congress
    . Reauthorizing the Satellite Home Viewing Provisions in the Communications Act and the Copyright Act: Issues for Congress Charles B. Goldfarb Specialist in Telecommunications Policy July 30, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R40624 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress c11173008 . Reauthorizing the Satellite Home Viewing Provisions Summary To further the longstanding U.S. media policy goal of localism, the current statutory framework for satellite and cable multichannel video programming distribution services distinguishes between the retransmission of local broadcast signals—the signals of stations located in the same local market as the subscriber—and of distant signals. Some statutory provisions block or restrict the retransmission of distant broadcast signals in order to protect local broadcasters from competition from those signals, with the intention of fostering local programming. At the same time, Congress has recognized the value of subscribers receiving certain distant signals—for example, if they are unable to receive broadcast network programming from a local station. Key copyright and retransmission provisions in the 2004 Satellite Home Viewer Extension and Reauthorization Act (SHVERA) that make it possible for satellite operators to provide their subscribers those distant broadcast signals expire on December 31, 2009. If these provisions are not reauthorized, satellite operators would no longer be able to provide most of those signals to their subscribers. In addition to the specific statutory provisions subject to sunset, there are several policy issues currently under debate, including: • In many situations, counties in one state are assigned to a local market for which the primary city (and the local broadcast stations) are in another state.

    Collectively Voting One's Culture Laura L.L. Blevins Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Political Science Scott G. Nelson Timothy W. Luke Luke P. Plotica December 13, 2017 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: Southwest Virginia, political behavior, culture Copyright 2017 Laura L. L. Blevins Collectively Voting One’s Culture Laura L. L. Blevins ABSTRACT This thesis considers theoretically the institutional nature of culture and its strength as a determinant of political behavior in Southwest Virginia. Beginning with a description of the geography of Southwest Virginia and the demographics of the region’s inhabitants, the thesis proceeds to outline the cultural nuances of the region that make it ripe for misunderstanding by the outside world when attempting to explain the cognitive dissonance between voting behavior and regional needs. Then the thesis explores how the culture of the region serves as its own institution that protects itself from outside forces. This phenomenon is explained through an outline of the man-made institutions which have been forged to ensure long-term political power that itself protects the institution of regional culture. Further evidence is presented through voting and demographic data that solidifies the role of culture in determining political behavior. Collectively Voting One’s Culture Laura L. L.

  • A Brief History of Virginia Highlands Community College 1967-2006
    A Brief History of Virginia Highlands Community College 1967-2006 by Helen Wilson Professor of English (retired) A Brief History of Virginia Highlands Community College by Helen Wilson Professor of English (retired) President’s Message Just what is a community college? Since the first one was founded in 1901, there has been significant discussion and debate, and a bit of writing, toward answering this question. The work of Dr. George B. Vaughan, former VHCC Dean of Instruction, and now prominent national community college leader, researcher and historian, has provided a valuable resource in establishing a broad basic answer, beginning with his publication “The Community College Story” (American Association of Community Colleges). To me, a community college is a state of mind, an attitude of service to the student and the community. The community college philosophy incorporates such tenets as open door admissions, a student-centered faculty and staff (not distracted by research requirements), programs and services focused on student and community needs (not only on academe), and high quality at a modest expense (at least for higher education). Community colleges serve all students, not just the elite students. The current VHCC Mission Statement (see Appendix A) clearly defines these varied and important goals. Combining all the discussions, articles and statements regarding the role of community colleges, however, leads to a simple and straightforward conclusion: Community colleges provide hope and opportunity to area residents. Indeed, the response of Virginia residents to this “hope and opportunity” has been nothing short of amazing. Today there are more students in community colleges than universities! Our history attempts to show Virginia Highlands Community College’s place in the greater community college story and how we have served our community throughout our 39 – and counting – years of service.

  • Gov. Northam Presents $15.6 Million Check to CPPDC for Historic
    Gov. Northam Presents $15.6 Million Check to CPPDC for Historic Broadband Expansion VATI Award Will Help Create More Than 13,000 New High-Speed Internet Connections in Four Counties BREAKS, Va. – Local leaders and community stakeholders joined Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam and other state representatives Monday in Dickenson County to celebrate the approval of more than $15.6 million in Virginia Telecommunications Initiative (VATI) grant funding to the Cumberland Plateau Planning District Commission for far-reaching fiber broadband expansion throughout the district’s four-county area. The funding – the largest such award for broadband in the history of the Commonwealth – allows the CPPDC along with its private broadband partner, Point Broadband, to deploy residential and commercial fiber broadband service to nearly 13,500 new potential connections in the counties of Buchanan, Dickenson, Russell and Tazewell. The entirety of the project will impact homes and businesses that are currently unserved or underserved by high-speed internet. Monday’s event celebrating the recently-announced award was held at Breaks Interstate Park, not far from where work has already begun by Point Broadband to expand the fiber broadband network. “We could not be more impressed by Virginia’s commitment to rural broadband expansion, specifically here in the coalfields of Southwest Virginia,” CPPDC Executive Director Jim Baldwin said following Monday’s event. “Our sincere thanks go to Governor Northam and the entire VATI team that helped make this historic project possible.” Northam announced the VATI grant award in late January. The VATI funds – in the amount of $15,636,544 – are matched by additional public and private funding for a total project of more than $45 million.
