INTRODUCTION I cannot imagine any conception of the black good life that does not allow for a fair measure of leisure. Unfortunately, our legal system has a long way to go before blacks will be able to pursue leisure on a just and equal footing with whites. -

Upn 27, Wgnt-Tv
Localism and Independence at Viacom Television Stations Group Stations Executive Summary Viacom Television Stations Group (VTSG) comprises 35 full-service television stations in some 27 markets around the country whose central focus is service to the local community. Sixteen of these stations are affiliated with the CBS Network, 18 with the UPN Network and one is independent. Each station is managed and operated by a local team that is committed to serving its local community by broadcasting programming covering local public affairs, local emergencies, local politics and local civics and culture. In addition, off-air, VTSG stations and their employees are actively involved in community activities and community events by participating in and donating to thousands of community and charitable events. The following nearly 200 pages contain only highlights of the ways in which VTSG stations serve their local communities. For example, with respect to local news, the summary shows that VTSG dedicates hundreds of hours of airtime each week and spends hundreds of millions of dollars providing its viewers with high quality local news, in addition to the hundreds of hours of national CBS News aired each week on VTSG stations affiliated with the CBS Network. Specific examples of local news commitments include: • WCBS-TV (CBS), New York, NY, airs 30.5 hours of local news per week, representing about 19% of its weekly programming schedule. It spends more than $40 million annually producing its local newscasts. • KCBS (CBS) and KCAL (Ind.), Los Angeles, CA, air about 34 hours and 30 hours, respectively, of local news per week, representing on average about 19% of each station’s broadcast week. -

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS December 2009 Since The
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS December 2009 Since the beginnings of its a development in 1983, the AIRS/211 LA County Taxonomy (formally titled A Taxonomy of Human Services: A Conceptual Framework with Standardized Terminology and Definitions for the Field) has benefited from the generous assistance of many people who have shared their expertise with us and helped us identify distinct human service concepts, the appropriate placement of those concepts in the hierarchy and clear, concise and accurate wording for preferred terms and definitions. A variety of authoritative publications have also been used in the design of both the structure and the contents of the Taxonomy, and many publishers have given us permission to quote, sometimes extensively, from their copyrighted materials. Also utilized in our research were brochures produced by agencies providing a targeted service; a variety of other human service taxonomies, thesauri and dictionaries; and, of course, a myriad of informative Web sites that are now available on the Internet. Below are the acknowledgments for those resources. NOTE: some of the Web sites were accessed a number of years ago and the links may no longer be viable. However, because we still want to acknowledge our use of their material, we have not removed the references.

History Book II
Rotary Club of Calgary West (Building a Strong Foundation) Club History From 1992 to 2007 Again we owe Ron Staughton a large Calgary West vote of thanks for organizing the past president’s history reports for 1992 to 2007. And also for making up two of the missing reports. Going forward, each immediate past president will prepare a summary of their year and it will be added to the history on our website. Rotary Club of Calgary West Next 15 years of Service & Achievement 1992 - 2006 Introduction When I’d completed my 25 year history of the Rotary Club of Calgary West in 1992 I joked that after that rather Herculean task the Club wouldn’t get another history from me until another 25 years had elapsed. Two years ago however I was approached by Jim Willson who suggested that I produce a 10 year update but that this time to lighten the load he would undertake to co-opt all the past presidents to write up their own year. Easily swayed and obliging as I am in a good cause I agreed. After I had agreed and launched into the task I realized that one President had absconded in the 1996-1997 year and the immediate past president had moved away without access to our records. Thus I had two presidential years to write up myself! It was after making some progress on those reports that Jim moved the goal posts on me by suggesting we add three more years to bring us up to Rotary International’s Centennial year. -
