Thoroughbred racing has its origins in international trade. The Thoroughbred breed began in the 17th century, when stallions from the Middle East were imported to England and bred to local mares. 2 Kentucky Derby winner Zev defeated Epsom Derby winner Papyrus in a $100,000 match race at Belmont Park on October 20, 1923. The race, the International Special, marked the first time an English champion had been sent to the U.S. to race. Public interest in the race was so great that it was broadcast on the radio—a first. Within two days, films of the race were distributed at movie theaters in New York City and, eventu- ally, across the nation. 3 Financial Highlights Priorities for 2002 include renewed emphasis on core marketing programs, augmented by a one-time, $1.5 million cash infusion from 2001 net operating revenues, designed to stimulate incremental attendance and pari- mutuel handle during 2002 at NTRA member facilities.

  • Annual Report on Charitable Solicitations
    COLORADO SECRETARY OF STATE’S OFFICE ANNUAL REPORT ON CHARITABLE SOLICITATIONS 2003 Part 2 Part Two of the 2003 Annual Report provides summary financial information for all charitable organizations that filed financial reports covering any period that ended in 2002. Information believed to be of particular interest to potential donors has been excerpted from the complete financial report for each organization. On the revenue side, only Total Revenue and Contributions are displayed in the report. Each organization’s complete financial report includes additional revenue categories for Government Grants, Program Service Revenue, Investments, Special Events and Activities, Sales, and Other Expenses. On the expense side, the report displays Total Expenses, Program Services Expenses, Administration-Management-General Expenses, and Fundraising Expenses. Each organization’s complete financial report also includes expense categories for Payments to Affiliates and Other Expenses, which are not reflected in this report. The financial information displayed is information that was on file with the Secretary of State’s office as of noon, December 19, 2003. Since financial reports are due by the 15th day of the fifth month following the close of an organization’s fiscal year, the due dates vary. Nevertheless, the last 2002 reports due were those of calendar year organizations, whose accounting periods ended on Dec. 31, 2002. The due date for calendar year organizations was May 15, 2003. Since up to two extensions of the deadline may be requested by a charitable organization (three months each), all 2002 financial reports were due by Nov. 15, 2003, at the latest. For a number of reasons, it is possible that a charitable organization could be registered now, despite not being listed in Part Two of the 2003 Annual Report.

  • Constructing and Performing an On-Air Radio Identity in a Changing Media Landscape
    CONSTRUCTING AND PERFORMING AN ON-AIR RADIO IDENTITY IN A CHANGING MEDIA LANDSCAPE A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by David F. Crider January 2014 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Nancy Morris, Advisory Chair, Department of Media Studies and Production Dr. Patrick Murphy, Department of Media Studies and Production Dr. Donnalyn Pompper, Department of Strategic Communication Dr. Catherine Hastings, External Member, Susquehanna University ii © Copyright 2014 by David F. Crider All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT The radio industry is fighting to stay relevant in an age of expanding media options. Scholarship has slackened, and media experts say that radio’s best days are in the past. This dissertation investigates how today’s radio announcer presents him/herself on the air as a personality, creating and performing a self that is meant for mass consumption by a listening audience. A participant observation of eleven different broadcast sites was conducted, backed by interviews with most key on-air personnel at each site. A grounded theory approach was used for data analysis. The resulting theoretical model focuses on the performance itself as the focal point that determines a successful (positive) interaction for personality and listener. Associated processes include narrative formation of the on- air personality, communication that takes place outside of the performance, effects of setting and situation, the role of the listening audience, and the reduction of social distance between personality and listener. The model demonstrates that a personality performed with the intent of being realistic and relatable will be more likely to cement a connection with the listener that leads to repeated listening and ultimately loyalty and fidelity to that personality.

    Annual Report 2013 Doyle Fund to Benefit Makenzie Goode Chairman’s Report New Funds Helping Page 2 Doyle Field Page 4 Memorial Athletic Families Achieve Their Page 3 Scholarship Charitable Goals Page 8 Helping donors doing good work...forever Chair’s Report FROM THE CHAIR Dear Friends of the Foundation, Nearly 150 donor funds have been established since our inception. These funds are helping feed those who are hungry, investing in education, the arts and environment. The breadth of support is impressive, not only touching on every aspect of life, but reaching a diverse group of people throughout the 33 communities we serve. Makenzie Goode Memorial Athletic Scholarship The Foundation’s funds are helping improve the quality of life for all of us. What is particularly gratifying is helping donors achieve their charitable goals. So many of them have a passion or an important cause they care very deeply about. A fund at the foundation allows them to support their charitable interest— forever, if they choose. We believe one of the reasons we have done so well is our guiding principle of creating partnerships with our donors, nonprofits and the community. This collaborative approach, I believe, allows us and the donors to accomplish so much more. As you’ll see in this report, it was a very busy year at the Foundation, with hundreds of grants and donor distributions being made to important community programs and initiatives. The success of the Foundation wouldn’t be possible without the support of our generous donors. So, thank you very much for allowing us to be your partner in helping to improve our community.
