  • A State Divided: the Civil War in Kentucky Civil War in the Bluegrass
    $5 Fall 2013 KentuckyKentucky Humanities Council, Inc. humanities A State Divided: The Civil War in Kentucky Civil War in the Bluegrass e are 150 years removed from the Civil War, yet it still creates strong emotions in many Americans. The War Between the States split the nation deeply and divided Kentucky, pitting friend against friend, neighbor against neighbor, brother against brother, and even father against son. WKentucky’s future was forever changed by the events of the Civil War. In commemoration of the Civil War’s sesquicentennial, we are pleased to share with you a wide array of Kentucky perspectives and issues that developed throughout the war. What would Abraham Lincoln say about slavery and the Civil War if he were alive today? Stephen A. Brown conducts a “conversation” with President Lincoln through chronicled speeches and writings. His article is on page 7. Camp Nelson played a pivotal role in the destruction of slavery in the Commonwealth. W. Stephen McBride shares the history of Kentucky’s largest recruitment and training center for Ben Chandler African American soldiers and what remains of Camp Nelson today. Executive Director John Hunt Morgan is widely known for his Confederate Cavalry raids, overshadowing fellow Kentucky Humanities Council Kentuckian George Martin Jessee, known as “Naughty Jessee.” Mark V. Wetherington tells us about the lesser known Confederate Cavalryman on page 15. While Kentucky’s men were off fighting for both the Union and the Confederacy, their wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters were left to take care of the family and home. On page 18, Nancy Baird shares the stories of several Kentucky women who bravely kept the home fires burning during the Civil War.

  • 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.
