Published Oct. 19, 2006 What’s The Download® Interactive Advisory Board: WHO WE ARE Based on research demonstrating the need for a serious examination of the issues facing the music industry in the wake of the rise of illegal downloading, in 2005 The Recording Academy® formed the What’s The Download Interactive Advisory Board (WTDIAB) as part of What’s The Download, a public education campaign created in 2004 that recognizes the lack of dialogue between the music industry and music fans. We are comprised of 12 young adults who were selected from hundreds of applicants by The Recording Academy through a process which consisted of an essay, video application and telephone interview. We come from all over the country, have diverse tastes in music and are joined by Honorary Board Members that include high-profile music creators and industry veterans. Since the launch of our Board at the 47th Annual GRAMMY® Awards, we have been dedicated to discussing issues and finding solutions to the current challenges in the music industry surrounding the digital delivery of music. We have spent the last two years researching these issues and gathering thousands of opinions on issues such as piracy, access to digital music, and file-sharing.

  • 8 Must-Visit American Record Stores (Travel Channel, 2017)
    Source: http://www.travelchannel.com/roam­blog/food­culture/eight­essential­record­stores­in­the­u­s 8 Must­Visit American Record Stores Check out these vinyl meccas for LP connoisseurs. JEFF STAFFORD TAGS ARTS AND CULTURE The record industry seemed headed for oblivion in the early Nineties and then something unexpected happened. A whole new generation of music lovers created a vinyl renaissance that continues to grow at a surprising rate. According to a recent Forbes magazine article, vinyl record sales are projected to earn close to one billion dollars for the first time this century. www.amoeba.com Streaming music services may have their converts but collectors of vinyl prefer the tactile sensation of holding an album, putting it on the turntable, studying the cover and liner notes and listening to the unmistakable sound of an authentic vinyl recording, imperfections and all. Another part of the appeal for vinyl fans is hunting for rare LPs or long­desired acquisitions in stores where the employees are more likely to be self­taught musicologists who can advise and aid them in their audio explorations. Here is just a small sampling of some of the most beloved vinyl meccas in the U.S. from coast to coast. Amoeba Music, Los Angeles, California www.amoeba.com The gold standard among independent music chains, Amoeba opened its first store in Berkeley, California in 1990, added a second store in San Francisco in 1997 and followed that with a third outlet in Los Angeles in 2001. A one­stop destination for buying CDs, DVDs, Blu­Rays and especially used and new vinyl, Amoeba can be an overwhelming experience due to the sheer volume of pop culture on display.

    Grocery Stores: Neighborhood Retail or Urban Panacea? Exploring the Intersections of Federal Policy, Community Health, and Revitalization in Bayview Hunters Point and West Oakland, California By Renee Roy Elias A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Jason Corburn, Chair Professor Karen Chapple Professor Malo Hutson Professor Margaret Weir Fall 2013 Abstract Grocery Stores: Neighborhood Retail or Urban Panacea? Exploring the Intersections of Federal Policy, Community Health, and Revitalization in Bayview Hunters Point and West Oakland, California By Renee Roy Elias Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning University of California, Berkeley Professor Jason Corburn, Chair Throughout the nation, grocery retailers are reentering underserved communities amidst growing public awareness of food deserts and the rise of federal, state, and local programs incentivizing urban grocery stores. And yet, even with expanding research on food deserts and their public health impacts, there is still a lack of consensus on whether grocery stores truly offer the best solution. Furthermore, scholars and policymakers alike have limited understandings of the broader neighborhood implications of grocery stores newly introduced into underserved urban communities. This dissertation analyzes how local organizations and agencies pursue grocery development in order to understand the conditions for success implementation. To do this, I examine the historical drivers, planning processes, and outcomes of two extreme cases of urban grocery development: a Fresh and Easy Neighborhood Market (a chain value store) in San Francisco’s Bayview Hunters Point and the Mandela Foods Cooperative (a worker-owned cooperative) in Oakland’s West Oakland districts.

The ebook parallels my app on this subject available for $3.99 from Apple http://apple.co/2ow44IC and Google http://bit.ly/2o9sWKJ. See an announcement of the ebook on my website at http://bit.ly/2qXg8Zf. The app has also been announced on my website. I have answered some questions about the app. The app works on smart phones and tablet devices, but not on laptops or desktops. The ebook can be read on all devices.) I am releasing here the content in this new travel ebook/app in ten alphabetical “clusters.” Each cluster will have 12 sections of the total 120 in the ebook/app. This is alphabetical release 6 of 10. Other clusters released now include:cluster 1 cluster 2 cluster 3 cluster 4 and cluster 5. This release on a website will not have the full functionality of the app structure, including its Google maps showing you contextually all the subjects around you. The ebook version is convenient because you can carry the content around with you in one small package and not require connectivity. The 10 releases on this websites will show the text and photo of all the items, the full “SF A-Z” content listings, but will not be able to present, as the app and ebook do, all subjects in a clickable Table of Contents menu as grouped in an area (such as Embarcadero) or in the themes/subjects (such as Culture/Museums).

  • Cruise Planners
    Sandy White [email protected] www.sandlertravel.com 832-305-7825 SAN FRANCISCO, CA OVERVIEW Introduction San Francisco, California, is a world-class destination, a favorite of international travelers and domestic tourists alike. An unmatched spectrum of dining experiences, first-class cultural events, exceptional scenery and a pleasant climate combine for an enjoyable visit. Compared with cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Paris or London, San Francisco is a small, almost provincial city. It is a mere 8 mi/13 km from the Embarcadero, on the Bay, to the Great Highway and the Pacific Ocean. Despite the notable influx of tech companies such as Google, Facebook, SalesForce and Twitter, tourism remains its prime industry, and the city has a thriving convention business that keeps its hotels and restaurants busy throughout the year. You'll find San Francisco one of the world's most scenic cities—the Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars, Chinatown, the crazy quilt of Victorians, precipitous hills, extraordinary restaurants and, of course, earthquakes and fog. See the white-capped waters of San Francisco Bay, eat crab cakes along Fisherman's Wharf, attend a free concert in Golden Gate Park or a game with one of the Bay Area teams—the Warriors, 49ers or the Giants. San Francisco's roller-coastering landscape cuts through dozens of distinct neighborhoods and its diverse population is every bit as colorful as the city's iconic landmarks and topography. Sights—The Golden Gate Bridge; a cable-car ride over Nob Hill; the exquisitely restored Palace of Fine Arts; views of the city atop Coit Tower and Telegraph Hill; Saints Peter and Paul church in North Beach; Golden Gate Park; Fisherman's Wharf; a ferry ride to Sausalito; the postcard Victorian homes at Alamo Square, Haight-Ashbury and famed mansions of Pacific Heights; goods at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market outside the Ferry Building; Lombard Street, the crookedest street in the U.S.

  • 51St Annual High School Design Competition Introduction 01 Welcome
    51st Annual High School Design Competition Introduction 01 Welcome Dear High School Student & Educator, We are pleased to invite you to participate in the Architectural Foundation of San Francisco’s Fifty-First annual high school design competition. This is an exciting competition where high school students put their design skills, creativity, spatial and analytical thinking and craftsmanship to the test. With the guidance of instructors – or in some cases for those who opt to treat this creative challenge as an independent study endeavor – high school students conceptualize a design and communicate their solutions through drawings and models. All high school students in both public and private schools in the greater San Francisco Bay Area and beyond are encouraged to participate. This competition provides young thinkers with the opportunity to participate in what is a very unique learning project. The Architectural Foundation of San Francisco is a nonprofit educational organization that involves San Francisco students in a mentored appreciation of architecture, engineering, construction and the design process. San Francisco reigns as one of the most architecturally significant and beautiful cities in the world. The environment of architectural diversity is extremely important to the vitality of this great city. Everywhere, the vibrant and complex layering of landscape, color, cultures and light produces experiences that unexpectedly reveal themselves. Since its inception in 1990, the Architectural Foundation of San Francisco has endeavored to reach out to the general public to establish an open dialogue on the architectural future of this community. To receive more information about the Architectural Foundation of San Francisco, please visit the website at www.afsf.org or email Alan Sandler at [email protected].
