The Wiyos stay busy on the touring road
Posted on April 29, 2011 by Ken Kelley |
Although New York-based band The Wiyos live in modern times, their sound is very much all about the past. From tours opening for Bob Dylan to their own prolific tour schedule, The Wiyos take their inspiration from the early 20th century which helps to create a timeless sound.
The Wiyos are slated to perform at the Riverview Arts Centre on tomorrow evening starting at 7:30 p.m.
The Wiyos' Michael Farkas says that life on the road has become the norm for the group, a comment highlighted by the fact that we reached him while the group is on tour in Europe.
He estimates that the group has routinely played approximately 200 shows per year over the last eight years. Life on the road is not always an easy one though, a fact driven home when he says the group is trying to become more selective about where they perform and how often they embark on tours.
"Touring does get in your blood for better and for worse in much the same way a sailor enjoys some shore leave, yet soon looks toward the horizon and anticipating his next trip. Finding a balance is important, but not always easy."
Farkas credits The Wiyos gravitation towards performing music from the early 20th century as more to do with the fact that the lines between musical genres tended to be blurred back then.
"There were not genre distinctions back then," he says. "Musicians played all kinds of music whether it was blues, country, swing or ragtime. If the music was good, it was good and they played it."
Farkas says that his band has been fortunate that their chosen style of music has allowed them to connect with a broad range of people in many different regions around the world, affording them the opportunity to tour places like Europe and Canada.
Farkas admits that such wide-eyed aspirations are not for every band and says that he would be the last to fault bands who wish to build a regional fan base before or instead of reaching out to international territories.
"I think that it really depends on the band, what they want to do and what works for them," he says. "I know many Texan bands for example, that never leave the state of Texas! It is such a big area and if you are making it work, so be it. That wouldn't be for me personally, but to stay more regionally focused is smart business on many levels. Certainly with the price of fuel going up, it is an economic one.
"We have been enjoying touring in the UK and wish to continue touring there. The audiences are great and knowledgeable. As a band, I think it is important to go where the love is, but also important to tour places that inspire you as well."

Outdoing Panama: Turkey's 'Crazy' Plan to Build an Istanbul Canal
James Helicke
A ship moves along the Bosporus through Istanbul, part of the only sea route from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's 'Crazy Project' - a plan to build a canal to bypass the treacherous waterway - was a centerpiece of his successful 2011 reelection campaign. But it remains to be seen if the Canal will overcome dangerous bottlenecks on the busy Bosporus and a long history of international intrigues over the Straits.(Photo: Caiuscamargarus)
Turkey's Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, recently unveiled a plan so ambitious that even he calls it the 'Crazy Project.' The project aims to build a massive canal that will bypass the Bosporus waterway that bisects Istanbul - a rival to the Panama and Suez Canals in time for the Turkish Republic's centennial celebrations in 2023. The new canal, Erdogan hopes, will overcome centuries of international intrigue over the Bosporus, facilitate trade, and reduce the possibility of shipping accidents through the heart of Istanbul. This month Origins Managing Editor James Helicke examines the international history surrounding the strategic waterway that has confounded sultans and statesmen. He asks if the 'Crazy Project' will solve the Bosporus dilemma once and for all, or if it is just plain folly.

Turkey's Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, had a secret.
Months into his governing party's third successful election campaign in 2011, the populist premier gave the Turkish public a few hints about a major project that his government had imagined for Istanbul, the largest city in Turkey - and Europe.
It would be ambitious. Massive. It would be a "crazy project," as Erdogan and the public coined it.
Turks imagined: Could it be a cultural center and mosque replicating the Selimiye, the sixteenth-century masterpiece of the great Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan?
Maybe a mammoth "park of civilizations" suspended high over the Bosporus, the rough waterway that bisects the city and marks the geographic boundary between Europe and Asia?
Perhaps, in a nod to crowding in this city of 15 million people, Dubai-like man-made islands shaped like the star and crescent on the Turkish flag?
Or, a solution once and for all to Istanbul's troubles on the Bosporus - a strait crowded not only with urban commuters and pleasure craft, but Russian oil tankers protected by international agreements as they carry crude on the only sea route from the Black Sea to world markets?
Erdogan did not disappoint.
In an April 27, 2011 multimedia blitz, he unveiled the eagerly-awaited project to a conference hall crowded with journalists, mustached businessmen, and pious housewives with colorful, silk headscarves.
"We give to Istanbul, Canal Istanbul!" Erdogan told the jubilant crowd. "Today we roll up our sleeves on one of the biggest projects of the century, with which the Panama Canal, the Suez and the Corinth Canal in Greece cannot even compete!"
The project outlined by Erdogan calls for a 45-50 kilometer (28-31 mile) canal, some 25 meters (27 yards) in depth and up to 150 meters (164 yards) in width, to be dug west of Istanbul.
The canal would bypass the Bosporus, the site of multiple shipping accidents, and link the Black Sea to the Marmara Sea. The canal would be a "second Bosporus" as many news outlets called it.
After passing through the canal from the Black Sea, ships would then continue on their normal route through the Marmara Sea and Turkey's less treacherous Dardanelles on their way to the Aegean, the Mediterranean and ultimately to world markets.
"With Canal Istanbul, we will bring an end to freight traffic on the Bosporus. And we will give back the Bosporus to Istanbul and Turkey," Erdogan said.
Erdogan's Bosporus dream is the culmination of centuries of imagination and intrigues over Istanbul and the Straits.
Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, European powers vied over who should - and should not - be given access to the waterways as statesmen sought to maintain the balance of power in Europe and the region.
Although sovereignty now belongs to Turkey, international conventions have long restricted Turkey's ability to limit steadily increasing ship traffic. Much of the Bosporus traffic now includes hazardous materials and oil, leaving thousands - or even millions - vulnerable.
But there is more to Erdogan's plans for the straits than environmental woes or Bismarckian realpolitik.
The project speaks to a long tradition of political imagination, ambitious state-planning and - perhaps most of all - Erdogan's own political designs for the country.
The canal and related "crazy projects" for other cities in Turkey - major transportation and housing projects - were the centerpiece of Erdogan's Justice and Development Party's third straight electoral victory since 2002.
In elections on June 12, 2011, Erdogan's party won nearly 50 percent of the vote, picking up 325 of 550 seats in parliament.
Secular critics have accused Erdogan, a practicing Muslim and former member of a banned pro-Islamic party, of plotting to move Turkey away from its official secular ideology toward a more Islamic path. He also has been accused of slowly, but surely inching toward greater absolutist rule.
Erdogan, who calls himself a conservative along the lines of European-style Christian democrats, has consistently denied any Islamic agenda and says his goal is to strengthen the country's democracy.
Under Erdogan's leadership, this overwhelmingly Muslim country of 75 million has also moved closer to its goal of membership in the European Union than under any of his more secular predecessors. Yet, by all accounts, achieving that goal remains only remotely possible or, at best, years away.
Nonetheless, the party's electoral slogan was boundlessly optimistic. "Target 2023," simultaneously looked to history - Turkey's founding as a nation-state in 1923 - and its future centennial celebrations in the next decade.
Said Erdogan: "Turkey more than deserves to embark on such a great, crazy, and magnificent project for 2023!"
Istanbul and Dreams of Turkish Greatness
Erdogan laced his hour-long speech announcing the project with stories of triumph and disaster, poetry, and references to Ottoman and Turkish historical grandeur.
According to Erdogan, Turks share a dream of Turkish national success that he traced back to Osman, the eponym for the Ottoman Empire whose life and reign spanned the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.
According to legend, Osman dreamt of a colossal tree sprouting from within himself and spreading across the region - a story Turks have interpreted as an allegory for the founding and growth of the Ottoman Empire.
"At the foundation of a great civilization, there is, foremost, a dream. We too have established a dream for our country," Erdogan said.
In many ways, Erdogan is but the latest ruler over the centuries to transform the city on the Bosporus.
At a time that the Roman Empire was under siege, Constantine moved his capital from Rome and transformed the town of Byzantium into Constantinople in the fourth century. The city became the largest in Christendom, boasting the sixth-century Hagia Sophia, once the largest church in the world.
By the fifteenth century, when the Byzantine Empire was just a shadow of its former self, the imperial capital - guarded by walls, a massive chain across the Bosporus, and fortuitous geography - was the last Byzantine city to succumb to Ottoman forces.
According to Erdogan's account, Fatih Sultan Mehmet II ("Mehmet the Conqueror") shared a dream similar to his own when Ottoman forces built fortifications to gain control of the Bosporus and even carried some warships overland to conquer Constantinople in 1453.
For Mehmet II and Ottoman forces, "the city" - as it was often called with affection - had stood like a dagger at the heart of the Ottoman Empire that now surrounded it on all sides, inhibiting Ottoman expansion to Europe and the Middle East.
At the apex of Ottoman rule, Suleyman the Magnificent (1520-1566) again transformed the city on the Bosporus by ordering the construction of new mosques, schools, and other monuments - making it the worthy capital of a ruler who claimed legitimacy as both a Muslim ruler and as "Caesar of Rome."
Canals and the Transformation of Nature
The massive nature of Erdogan's project, which includes not only the Canal itself, but the launch of two new major settlements along the Canal Zone connected by a new, third bridge over the Bosporus, speaks to a longer tradition in Turkey of ambitious nation-building and infrastructure projects in the twentieth century.
Of course, Turkey is hardly alone in such promethean ventures, and Canal Istanbul will join a long list of grandiose construction projects that cram the volumes of human history.
Canals throughout history have long been connected to broader patterns of political, economic and military expansion and integration.
The peoples of ancient Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley used canals for irrigation, encouraging the growth of life in towns and civilization more broadly.
Canals featured prominently in the development of ancient China by helping to bring unity to formerly disparate states. The Grand Canal of China, completed in the seventh century CE, remains by far the longest canal in the world at nearly 1,800 kilometers (nearly 1,120 miles) - far surpassing the canals of Suez (193 kilometers or 120 miles), Panama (77 kilometers or 48 miles) and Erdogan (45-50 kilometers or 28-31 miles).
The Greeks pioneered canal locks and probably completed the first canal to connect the Red Sea to the Mediterranean. Roman canals, moreover, not only served irrigation and transportation, but more broadly helped to integrate a far-flung empire.
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, major canals in England and the United States accelerated British industrial development and American westward expansion.
The Suez Canal (opened in 1869), sometimes nicknamed the "highway to India," reduced travel to Britain's prized colony by connecting the Mediterranean to the Red Sea. It also helped to unleash a new wave of imperialism in the second half of the nineteenth century.
One of the greatest engineering feats of all time, the Panama Canal opened in 1914 only by propping up Panamanian secessionists, overcoming disease, and opting for an elevated canal with locks and dams rather than one at sea level. (Frustrated, Ferdinand de Lesseps, who led the construction of the Suez Canal, abandoned Panama in disgrace). In the end, the Panama Canal not only connected the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, but contributed to a new American form of empire.
What is perhaps unique about Erdogan's canal - which will bypass the Bosporus and provide duplicate access from the Black Sea to the Marmara - is that it is likely among the few to replicate that which already has been given by nature.
The Eastern Question
It remains to be seen, however, if this replacement of a natural waterway with a human engineered one will bring a definitive end to one of Turkey's most difficult military and diplomatic challenges: the so-called "Eastern Question." This nineteenth-century Eurocentric "Question" - what to do with a weakening Ottoman Empire seen as past its heyday - may now be over, but the issues it raised about Turkey's place in the international community linger today.
The Straits of the Bosporus and the Dardanelles have long defined the geopolitical relationship of Turkey (and the Ottoman Empire before it) and the rest of the world.
But it was arguably the turn of the nineteenth century that marked the transition of the Bosporus and Straits from a blessing to a curse for the Ottoman Empire.
Although Ottoman historians now vehemently reject the term "decline," there can be little debate that the Ottoman Empire witnessed a series of struggles after the eighteenth century.
Russia's growth, its aspirations for access to the sea, and increasing assertion of imperial might often came at Ottoman expense.
Many scholars see Ottoman defeat in the Russian-Ottoman War of 1768-74 as a major turning point in Turkey's relations with European powers.
The humiliating Treaty of Kucuk Kaynarca (1774) gave the Crimean Peninsula to Russia, along with passage rights through the Dardanelles, and disputed political rights over Ottoman Orthodox Christians.
Russia's new status as a Black Sea power not only raised questions about Russian access to the Mediterranean through the Straits, its challenge to the Ottoman Empire raised questions about how to maintain the balance of power in Europe - that tacit understanding among European statesmen that no state should become too strong to dominate the others.
At the heart of this "Eastern Question" was the future of the Ottoman Empire and the question of the Straits.
The Treaty of Hunkar Iskelesi (Unkiar Skelessi, 1833) stipulated that the Ottoman Empire be required to close the Straits to foreign powers at Russia's request. Fears that these provisions disrupted the balance of power by giving Russia too much privilege led to the Straits Convention of 1841, which closed the Straits to all but the Ottomans in peacetime. This kept Britain and France out of the Black Sea and Russia out of the Mediterranean.
Subsequent agreements sought to maintain the balance of power by stipulating who had right to the Straits and when.
The Treaty of Paris (1856) and the Treaty of London (1871) returned to the "ancient rule" of the Ottoman Empire that warships should not use the Straits except by the special permission of the Sultan during times of peace.
Yet, maintaining balance in the international arena became increasingly challenging as indigenous nationalism and European powers continued to chip away at Ottoman territory. Amid these struggles, Europeans sometimes called the Ottoman Empire the "Sick Man of Europe" - to the consternation of Ottoman statesmen and contemporary historians.

Cox Enterprises

Cox Communications (also known as Cox Cable and formerly Cox Broadcasting Corporation, Dimension Cable Services and Times-Mirror Cable) is an American privately owned subsidiary of Cox Enterprises providing digital cable television, telecommunications and Home Automation services in the United States. It is the third-largest cable television provider in the United States,[1] serving more than 6.2 million customers, including 2.9 million digital cable subscribers, 3.5 million Internet subscribers,[2] and almost 3.2 million digital telephone subscribers, making it the seventh-largest telephone carrier in the country.[3] Cox is headquartered at 6205 Peachtree Dunwoody Rd in Sandy Springs, Georgia, U.S., in the Atlanta metropolitan area.[4][conflicted source?]
Original version of current corporate logo, used from 1996 until 2007.
Modified version of 1996 logo, used from 2007 until November 15, 2018; this variant (a re-treatment of the Bob Wages-designed emblem by Atlanta-based BrandFever [now Phase 3 Communications]) removed the green and red coloring on the slashes of the "X".
Cox Enterprises expanded into the cable television industry in 1962 by purchasing a number of cable systems in Lewistown, Lock Haven and Tyrone (all in Pennsylvania), followed by systems in California, Oregon and Washington. The subsidiary company, Cox Broadcasting Corporation (renamed to Cox Communications in 1982), was not officially formed until 1964, when it was established as a public company traded on the New York Stock Exchange. It was taken private by Cox Enterprises in 1985.
In 1993, Cox began offering telecommunication services to businesses it was the first multiple system cable operator to do so. This eventually grew into Cox Business, which now represents $1 billion in annual revenue. In 1995, Cox acquired the Times Mirror cable properties.[5]
In 1997, Cox became the first multiple system cable operator to offer phone services to customers following the 1996 Telecom Act. Two years later in 1999, Cox acquired the cable television assets of Media General in Fairfax County and Fredericksburg, Virginia. The following year, Cox Communications acquired Multimedia Cablevision with assets in Kansas, Oklahoma and North Carolina.
In 2004, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors found Cox Communications guilty of violating an agreement with the county which stated that all homes served by Cox within Fairfax County would be digital ready with the new fiber optic network by June 2003. When this term expired with less than 30% of the county having been completed, the Board of Supervisors decided to fine Cox $100 per day from the originally agreed completion date, until work was completed on January 2006. The Board also forbade Cox from raising rates to recover the cost of the fine for a period of 10 years from the actual completion date. The total fine was approximately $93,000.[6]

By November 1, 2005, Cox announced the sale of all of its Texas, Missouri, Mississippi and North Carolina properties, as well as some systems in Arkansas, California, Louisiana and Oklahoma to Cebridge Communications. The sale closed in 2006 and those systems were transitioned by their new owner from Cox branding to Suddenlink Communications.[]
On May 14, 2007, Cox announced that they had sold their investment in Discovery Communications for the Travel Channel, related assets, and $1.3 billion.[7]
In 2007, DiversityInc magazine named Cox Communications #25 in its Top 50 Companies for Diversity. Cox climbed to the sixth position on Diversity Inc.'s 2008 list.[8] Also in 2008, Cox was named #8 on the Top 10 Companies for African Americans.[9] Two years later, on November 19, 2010, Cox began offering wireless services in Orange County, California; Omaha, Nebraska; and, in Hampton Roads, Virginia.[]
In February 2011, Cox Communications completed its Alternative Energy Project[10] which included two fuel cell installations at each of the company's San Diego, CA and Rancho Santa Margarita, CA headquarters.[11] Two separate PureCell System 400 kilowatt installations will generate enough onsite power to reduce the company's dependence of the local power grid and decrease its carbon footprint.[12]
In September 2011, Cox Home Security was added to their suite of products listed on their website.[13][conflicted source?] This new service uses advanced technologies similar to the home security products offered by other MSOs such as Comcast.[]
In August 2013, Cox launched a new television platform known as Contour, which features recommendations and a user profile system across multiple devices.[14] In 2015, Cox licensed Comcast's Xfinity X1 platform (which features more extensive integration of video streaming apps, and a voice control remote); it was deployed in 2016, maintaining the Contour naming. Cox stated that at least 1 million subscribers were on the X1-based Contour as of October 2017.[15][16]
In 2016, Cox Business reached 3 billion in annual revenue.[]

Cox Charities
Cox Communications Virginia created the philanthropic Cox Charities to annually provide grants to nonprofits serving youth. The organizations must have education programs that focus on science and technology, literacy, mentoring and other areas.[18] In the 2016-2017 program, 15 nonprofits received a total of $150,000.[19] They were:
An Achievable Dream
Horizons Hampton Roads
The Salvation Army - Hampton Roads Area Command
The UP Center
Virginia Peninsula Foodbank
Educacion Para Nuestro Futuro
Main Street Child Development Center
Fairfax Futures
Literary Council of Northern Virginia
Boys and Girls Clubs of Southwest Virginia
Child Health Investment Partnership of Roanoke Valley
Total Action for Progress
Other state branches of Cox Communications also donate money annually through a Community Investment Grant program. The money comes from employees and goes to 501(c)(3) organizations. The organizations will differ from state to state, and year to year, but usually also have a focus on education, technology, social issues, and the arts.[20] These programs can be found in Oklahoma (nearly $165,000 in 2017),[21] Arkansas (nearly $100,000 in 2017),[22] Nebraska and Iowa (nearly $90,000 in 2017),[23] and the Southeast region, including parts of Louisiana, Florida's Gulf Coast, Central Florida and Middle Georgia.[24]
In 2004, Cox Enterprises announced its intention to purchase those shares of Cox Communications which it did not already own. A $6.6 billion tender offer was completed in December of that year, and Cox Communications has been a wholly owned subsidiary ever since.[25] This was the second time Cox Communications was taken private by Cox Enterprises.
Cox Cable TV
Cox distributes standard definition and high-definition cable television programming, including Digital Cable.[26][conflicted source?] Cox launched Digital Cable on its Orange County system in 1997. In February 2008, Cox started to implement switched digital video (SDV) technology in some of their markets.[27] In late 2014, Cox started notifying customers in their Connecticut market that they would be moving to an All Digital Video platform, requiring a small digital adapter (termed a Cox Mini-Box) for televisions that were previously connected to an analog only signal. This same notification was extended to all other major markets in 2016.
Cox offers digital video recorder service, provided using Motorola,[28]Scientific-Atlanta, Cisco, or previously Moxi[29] equipment depending on the local market.
Cox offers video on demand service in the majority of its markets under the name On Demand. On Demand offerings are fairly standardized, portal-based, and carry VODnets like The Ski Channel, and includes HD offerings and replays of major network series.[30]
Cox High Speed Internet
As of 2013, Cox offers cable internet service to over 21.8 million people across 18 states, making it the 4th largest provider of cable internet service in the US (based on coverage area).[]
Cox offers five levels of high-speed Internet in all of its markets: Starter, Essential, Preferred, Premier, and Ultimate (Their speed tier with download speeds up to 300 Mbit/s.) Cox initially launched high-speed Internet in 1996 in its Orange County infrastructure.[31] Cox licensed the PowerBoost technology from Comcast in 2007 and offers it on the Preferred, Premier, and Ultimate levels of service.[32] Top service download speeds are between 15 and 300 Mbit/s.
"Soft" monthly bandwidth caps are listed for all four levels of service, and Cox does charge a considerable fee for exceeding data usage limits.[33][conflicted source?]
In September 2011, Cox announced the availability of a data usage meter for customers to check their data usage.[34]
In 2011, the FCC released the "Measuring Broadband America" report where it was revealed that many broadband providers provided lower than advertised internet speeds to their consumers. Analysis of the report data showed that Cox Cable only delivered 83.4% of its advertised internet speed (on speeds above 3Mbit/s) to its customers.[35]
Cox blocks incoming traffic on port 80 for residential customers,[36] making it difficult for them to run web servers.
Cox High Speed Internet won the PC Magazine Readers' Choice Award for High Speed Internet in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, and 2011.[37] In 2014, Cox announced they would begin offering 1 Gbit/s internet speeds under the name "G1GABLAST" in Phoenix, Las Vegas and Omaha, with plans to begin offering it in the rest of their service areas by the end of 2016. They also announced that they would double internet speeds for all customers at no cost at the same time. They began rolling out the new speeds in Phoenix in early October of the same year.[38]
Cox Digital Telephone
Cox offers telephone service in the majority of its services areas. Various technologies, including circuit switched and hybrid VoIP systems, are used depending on service areas.[39] Cox has won multiple J.D. Power and Associates awards for its telephone service.[40]
Cox Home Security
In 2010 Cox started offering a range of Home Automation and Security service to customers in its Tucson, Arizona market as a trial. In 2011, this product was expanded to Cox's entire Arizona market, and was rolled out to additional markets over the next couple of years. In December 2014, Cox Launched "Cox Homelife" in Louisiana, that appears to be the same service as Cox Home Security under a different brand. *Cox Home Security was actually rebranded as Cox Homelife for every market that it is available.*
Cox Business
Cox Business[41][conflicted source?] provides voice, data and video services for more than 260,000 small and regional businesses, including health care providers, K-12 and higher education, financial institutions and federal, state and local government organizations. According to Vertical Systems Group,[42] Cox Business is the fourth-largest provider of business Ethernet services in the U.S.-based on customer ports and the company ranked highest among small and mid-size business data service providers in J.D. Power and Associates telecommunications studies in 2006, 2008 and 2010.[] In 2013, Cox Business had the third largest business-facing enterprise by revenue (of cable providers who provide business services), with $1.2 billion in revenue as of the third quarter of 2013.[43]
Cox Business is an early adopter of Voice over IP technology and, in 2007, Cox became the first cable provider in North America to deploy a fully owned and managed IP telephony service for businesses, Cox Business VoiceManager.[44][conflicted source?] Cox Business is expected to launch Managed IP PBX, SIP Trunking and IP Centrex services in 2011, allowing customers to more efficiently route voice traffic over Internet Protocol.[needs update] Cox Business currently[when?] supports more than 800,000 business phone lines.
Defunct Cox Wireless
Cox previously offered mobile phone and wireless services in four United States markets including Orange County, California, Hampton Roads, Virginia, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Omaha, Nebraska. Cox marketed their wireless service as 'Unbelievably Fair' due to a wireless plan it offered which returned money for unused minutes which it called "Moneyback Minutes."[45] This allowed customers to receive up to $20 per month added back to their bill in the event that the customer had leftover minutes. Cox Wireless offered a full range of devices manufactured by Motorola, Samsung, HTC, Kyocera, and LG.
Cox Wireless utilized Sprint's voice and 3G networks and also had planned to build out their own 4G LTE network.[45]
On May 24, 2011, Cox Communications announced it would decommission its plans to build a 3G wireless network, and would instead offer Sprint service to half of its current footprint and operate as a Sprint MVNO by the end of 2011.
On November 15, 2011, Cox Communications announced it would halt sales of all its wireless branded products and existing Cox branded wireless operations would be decommissioned by March 30, 2012. Cox eventually also retracted its plans to offer wireless services reselling Sprint service as an MVNO.[46]
Carriage controversies
Fox News Dispute
On January 1, 2000, Cox was involved in a retransmission consent dispute with News Corporation (the parent company of the Fox broadcast network, now owned by 21st Century Fox), pulling four Fox owned-and-operated stations, after retransmission consent talks between News Corp. and Cox broke down, reportedly because Fox had denied permission for Cox to broadcast programming on its O&O stations unless Cox gave it two channel slots on its digital cable service. The affected stations were WJW-TV in Cleveland, Ohio (now owned by Tribune Broadcasting), KTBC in Austin, Texas, KRIV in Houston, Texas, and KDFW in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, off its cable systems in those areas; another Fox O&O WHBQ-TV in Memphis (itself now owned by Cox) was also pulled from its Jonesboro, Arkansas, system (of the mentioned systems; only the Cleveland metropolitan area continues to be served by Cox; the other systems were bought out by Suddenlink Communications in May 2006). The removal of those stations, which were temporarily replaced with premium service Starz! Family (which was made available to subscribers for free), blacked out Fox programming to 425,000 Cox customers. The blackout lasted six days as the two sides came to an agreement on January 6, and the Fox-owned stations were brought back to the systems. Cox gave $1 refunds of their January cable bill to roughly 90,000 subscribers in Texas and Arkansas as compensation.[47]
LIN TV-Cox dispute
In a separate dispute (clumped with the above dispute by media outlets as the "Cox vs Fox" dispute) that occurred around the same time, customers in Hampton Roads, Virginia lost access to LIN TV-owned Fox affiliate WVBT (channel 43) on January 1, 2000; retransmission talks between WVBT and Cox broke down, reportedly due to a demand by WVBT to be placed somewhere between channels 2 and 14 (it had been broadcast on channel 43). Cox refused to move WVBT to a lower channel number; the channel space was filled in the interim by pay channel HBO Family. It was not until February 5 of that year that the station resumed on Cox's Hampton Roads system (remaining on channel 43), after an agreement was reached during a ten-hour arbitration session.[48] Cox did not offer rebates to its 335,000 subscribers in Fairfax County, Virginia, and Cleveland, Ohio, who also lost their Fox stations.
Nexstar dispute
On January 29, 2016, seventeen Nexstar Broadcasting stations were dropped by Cox after failing to reach a new retransmission deal. The contract had expired on December 31, 2015, but the two companies allowed talks to continue until January 22, 2016. The channels were replaced by a screen which accused Nexstar of "demanding a significant fee increase". In Las Vegas, where the dispute threatened to black out Super Bowl 50 due to local CBS station KLAS-TV being affected by the dispute, Cox announced on February 3, 2016, that it would offer a free preview of the game's Spanish-language broadcaster, ESPN Deportes, over Super Bowl weekend. The next day, Cox reached a new deal with Nexstar, and the stations were restored.[49][50][51]
Copyright lawsuit
Cox was held responsible for the copyright infringements of its subscribers according to a December 17, 2015, ruling from a Virginia federal jury. The ISP was found guilty of willful contributory copyright infringement and ordered to pay music publisher BMG $25 million in damages. The verdict is likely to be appealed by the company.[52][53]
One of Cox's marketing trademarks is a fictional animated "spokesman" character named "Digital Max", used from 2005 through 2008.[54][55] The phasing out of Digital Max in 2008 was followed by the introduction of the current Cox mascots, the "Digeez", little digital helpmates featured in many of Cox Communications' brand commercials.

Owen B - Owen B (1970 us, exciting hard psych rock, 2011 Gear Fad release)
Owen-B started as a band called "The Wildlife" in the Mansfield, Ohio area. They were one of several garage bands from central Ohio that formed around the time close to the end of the first British invasion (1964-1966). Members in the original group included Bob Ross (bass), Charlie Barker (drums), Terry VanAuker (lead guitar), and John Kinkle (rhythm guitar).
John Kinkle left the band shortly after formation to attend college and was replaced by Tom Zinser. Bob Ross and Charlie Barker had played together in an earlier band called "The Amboy Dukes" (no relation to the nationally known band of the same name). Terry VanAuker was from an earlier group called "The Collegiates" and Tom Zinser came from a group called Tommy Z And The Sleepers.
The group also added Louie Basso as front man and lead singer. After less than a year of playing together in 1967, the group was signed to Columbia Records, but Columbia executives insisted the band drop Louie Basso as a contract contingency. He was replaced with Jim Krause, a former member of Tommy Z And The Sleepers. The band had one notable release called "This Is What I Was Made For" written by P.F. Sloan.
The song achieved some regional success and charted #15 on the Columbus, Ohio radio station WCOL. After two more releases, the band left the Columbia label. In late 1969. Tom wrote "Mississippi Mama", a simple straight ahead rock and roll tune that the band decided to produce and record on their own dime, and then try to market it to a label. Wes Farrell, a fairly well known New York producer, offered to buy it and put it out on Janus Records. It reached #81 on the Cashbox chart in March of 1970.
The follow up single "Never Goin'Home" also reached #1 locally and was even championed by Billboard magazine which stated "With the feel and flavor of the Credence Oearwater Revival hits, Owen-B should soon find himself high on the charts with this compelling and infectious rhythm outing. First rate performance and material combine to make this a sure hit". Despite this flirtation with major success, certain members of the band wished to pursue a more personal approach by releasing an album of originals.
This lead to Bob Ross leaving the band. He was not replaced and Tom Zinser moved from Rhythm guitar to bass. Shortly before Ross left the band, Charlie Barker decided to go back to school to avoid the draft and was replaced by Bobby Tousignant (Avery), who had played drums for the Ohio based group The Music Explosion. It is at this point where the band personnel were as it appears on the Owen B album, which was recorded in Mid-1970.

Orman has won various industry awards including two Emmy's and she was named one of "The World's Most Powerful Women" by Forbes. Instead, both male and female birds have a cloaca - one opening (also called the vent) that serves as the bodily exit for their digestive, urinary and reproductive systems. The courtship period is when a male bird shows off his health and strength to convince a female that he is her best possible mate and will help her create the strongest, healthiest chicks with the best chance to survive.How Birds Have SexOnce a female bird is receptive to a mate - whether it is a new mate every breeding season or simply renewing ties with a life-long partner - the actual mating can take place.
The positions and postures birds assume to mate can vary, but the most common is for the male bird to balance on top of the female. During the breeding season, the cloaca swells and protrudes slightly outside the body, while during the rest of the year it is much less prominent.When birds are ready to breed, their reproductive organs - the testes and ovaries - swell and produce the sperm and ova. Male birds store sperm in their cloaca until an opportunity to mate arises, and females will receive that sperm into their cloaca before it travels to fertilize their ova. She will then move her tail aside to expose her cloaca to his reach, and he will arch his body so his cloaca can touch hers. Birds will remain excited by their hormones for a week or more and may mate several times during that period to increase the chances of successful insemination.Some bird species, most notably several species of swans, geese and ducks, do not have cloacas, but instead male birds have an actual phallus (penis) that is inserted into the female during mating. The penis is formed by an extension of the cloacal wall, and unlike mammals, is erected by lymph rather than blood. Having a penis helps different types of waterfowl mate in the water without the sperm washing away.
Several other bird species, including cassowaries, kiwis and ostriches, also have penises rather than cloacas, but the mating act is still only a brief encounter.After mating, the sperm travels to the ova for fertilization.
Eggs may be laid in just a few days or it may be several months before eggs are ready to be laid and the final brooding of the nest begins.If You See Mating BirdsMany birders are at first thrilled to see unique bird behavior, then quickly become embarrassed when they realize they are watching birds mate. Because the mating act is so brief, being observed does not typically disturb the birds, but it is important to realize that this is still a delicate time for bird pairs.If you see mating birds, it is best to keep your distance - approaching more closely may spook the birds and force them to leave, which can interrupt their courtship or hurt their bond. This may also cause difficulties for raising a brood or completing a successful mating if the pair splits prematurely. This can provide a unique opportunity for birders to observe a growing bird family, but the same caution should be taken to stay away from the nest in order to safeguard young birds.
Too much attention can distress parent birds, forcing them to abandon the nest or hatchlings.
We could talk to each other, we could tell each other anything without fear of ridicule or rejection.
Very often you have to work with someone you don't know, and part of truth on screen is having the truth of a relationship and being comfortable with someone. Wives shouldn't feel obligated to accompany their husbands to a ball game, husbands do look a bit silly attending morning coffee breaks with the neighborhood wives when most men are out at work.

LAW Supreme Court Litigation Clinic: Clinical Practice
[ R ] [ A ] [ L ]
Dynamic Entrepreneurial Strategy

The Social Science of Entrepreneurship (SOC 161)
LAW 436A
[ Litigation ] Business Law: Media, Entertainment, Sports
[ Litigation ] as a Clinic : The Supreme Court clinic is particularly valuable for students interested in litigation or an academic career. It is writing-intensive and focuses on the wide range of legal issues decided by the nation's highest court. Students prepare briefs and other filings, participate in moots for oral arguments, meet with Court personnel and reporters, and get a real feel for how the High Court operates. Be sure to also consider other clinics: Whether or not a clinic focuses on the substantive law of your specific career orientation, you can be confident that every clinic will provide skills-based training that is relevant and transferable to other areas of practice. Review the clinic activities for the skill sets you are most interested in acquiring, such as interviewing clients, presenting arguments, writing for different audiences, or negotiating and collaborating with others. Equally important, the mentoring offered to students by clinical program directors provides a valuable opportunity to develop that key lawyering competence: professional judgment.
The Supreme Court Litigation Clinic will expose students to the joys and frustrations of litigation before the Supreme Court of the United States. The bulk of the clinic will be run as a small law firm working on live cases before the Court. Students will participate in drafting petitions for certiorari and oppositions, merits briefs, and amicus briefs, compiling joint appendices, and preparing advocates for oral argument, as well as commenting (the technical term is "kibbitzing") on drafts of briefs being filed by lawyers in other cases. The precise nature of the cases will depend on the Court's docket, but in recent Terms, the clinic's cases have involved federal criminal law and procedure, habeas corpus, constitutional and statutory antidiscrimination and employment law, bankruptcy law, and the First Amendment. Our aim is to involve students as fully as possible in this type of litigation. The Clinic begins with an intensive introduction to the distinctive nature of Supreme Court practice, including the key differences between merits arguments and the certiorari process, the role of amicus briefs, and the Supreme Court Rules. After that, seminar meetings will be devoted primarily to collaborative work on the cases the clinic is handling. While students will be primarily responsible for working in teams on one case at a time, they will also be expected to acquire familiarity with the issues raised in other students' cases and will both edit each others' substantive work and assist each other and the instructors with the technical production work attendant on filing briefs with the Supreme Court. The course will involve substantial amounts of legal research. The Supreme Court operates on a tight, and unyielding deadline, and students must be prepared both to complete their own work in a timely fashion and to assist one another and the instructors on other cases. The instructors will not ask students to do any kind of "grunt work" that they themselves will not also be handling, but grunt work there will be: proofreading, cite-checking, dealing with the joint appendix, and the like. The nature of the work product means that while students will average thirty hours per week on their case-related work, that work will surely be distributed unevenly across the quarter. Unlike most other courts, the Supreme Court has no student practice rules. Thus, students will not be able to argue cases before the Court. But they will participate in moot courts on their cases, as both advocates and Justices. Each student will also have the opportunity to travel to Washington to see the Court in session, preferably with respect to a case on which the student has worked. Ideally students will already have experience with persuasive doctrinal writing, through a course like Federal Pretrial Litigation or through intensive supervision during their summer jobs or other clinics. Admission to the Clinic is by consent of the instructors. Students will need to submit a writing sample that reflects their facility with doctrinal legal arguments and the name of at least one reference who can comment on their legal analytic ability.
Course Style: A Clinic provides hands-on practical legal experience under the supervision of a faculty member and complemented by a seminar.
Course Frequency: Offered twice a year

IC-814 case was most successful: Al-Qaeda
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
NEW DELHI: "The hijacking of the Indian aircraft (IC-814) is one of the most famous, successful operations which the Mujahidin undertook to free some of the Mujahid prisoners," notes a manual titled 'Most Superior Fundamentals in the Art of Kidnapping Americans', translated from pro-al Qaeda website Al-Palsam.
Sketching the details of the operation  -  which culminated in Jaswant Singh (who was external affairs minister at the time) flying out to Kandahar with three terrorists, including Masood Azhar and Omar Sheikh, as co-passengers  -  the manual says: "Thank God, the shaykh (Masood Azhar) and some of his brethren were released, whereupon they arrived at Kandahar airport in an Indian airplane. With the departure from the territory of Afghanistan of the shaykh and his brothers, the phases of this successful, difficult operation were completed."
Azhar and Omar Sheikh went on to found the Jaish-e-Mohammed, one of the deadliest of terrorist groups operating inside Kashmir and Pakistan.
The December 13, 2001 attack on Parliament and the kidnapping and murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl were both the handiwork of the JeM.
The IC-814 hijackers, the manual says approvingly, "were clearly able to lend greater prominence to their cause. The whole world began to deal with the Kashmir issue anew and according to a new perspective", while the Indian authorities "were afflicted with broken spiritedness, submissiveness and grovelling as they carried out the demands of the Mujahidin in front of the whole world".
The manual identifies three factors as key to the hijackers' success:
"Beforehand, the UAE (where the plane stopped for refuelling en route to Kandahar) had stated that the hijackers had been Sikh, and neither India nor any other state could learn of the identity of the kidnappers until after they announced their demands and their identity. And thus the secrecy through which the operation occurred had a great impact on the success which was on their side".
The choice of target (an Indian plane leaving Kathmandu) and the "place of negotiations", ie Kandahar under Taliban control.
"Yet, the greatest success in the matter was the speed of decision-making and resoluteness in the event, when the Indian forces delayed in supplying fuel."
The last is a reference to the hijackers' decision to stab 27-year-old passenger Rupin Katyal and take-off from Amritsar before the plane could be refuelled because they feared a rescue operation.
Though the manual's language and specifics suggest it is intended for use mainly by Palestinians against Israel, the reference to the hijacking of IC-814 could possibly reflect a shift in Islamist attitudes towards India on the question of Kashmir.
It could, of course, also be the product of Israeli psychological operations aimed at getting New Delhi to make common cause with Tel Aviv on the Palestine issue.
Indian intelligence officials say the manual is proof of the interlinkages that exist across extremist groups worldwide.
"These groups have individual identities and localised agendas and causes, but there are linkages too", an official told The Times of India. "Anyone who tries to go deep into these links, who tries to investigate the relationships, like Daniel Pearl tried to do, they stop".
Intriguingly, the reference to IC-814  -  and to kidnapping Americans in the title of the manual  -  also suggests the involvement of Omar Sheikh in its authorship.
The document is merely signed 'Hekmatyar', an obvious pseudonym. Before he became notorious for the Pearl killing, Omar Sheikh had been imprisoned in India on the charge of kidnapping Americans.

About Sounds of the Valley Chorus
Sounds of the Valley Chorus is a membership organization of female singers, who meet regularly to practice, perform, socialize, and have fun. We currently have 24 singers from various walks of life, and parts of the greater Chico area and surrounding counties. Originally chartered in 1974 as Chico Sweet Adelines, our chorus was renamed to Sounds of the Valley Chorus in 1994. For over 44 years, we have carried on the proud tradition as Chico's Original Women's Barbershop Chorus.
The main purpose of Sounds of the Valley Chorus is to get out and sing for our community. We sing at our chorus shows, many community events, business and social functions, and at regional competition. We are available to sing at your next function or event. If you're looking for a unique musical experience to liven up your event, please check out our Hire Us section.
In addition to sharing our music with others, another great passion of ours is learning more about the art of a cappella singing. Vocal instruction is a regular part of chorus rehearsals, and a very important component of the chorus experience. A couple of times a year, we are coached by a visiting master in the art of barbershop, where we learn many fabulous tricks of the trade. We also attend area schools and Region 12 Adventures in Music (AIM) weekend workshops to learn more about our craft and renew friendships with other singers in the region.
CompetitionIn the spring of every year, Sounds of the Valley Chorus participates in the Region 12 chorus competition. The 2018 competition will be held in Sparks, NV. Competitions are a special time for quartets and choruses from our region to come together to sing for each other, and get some constructive feedback from a panel of judges. The winners of the regional competition in both quartet and chorus categories get to travel to International Competition, which is held in the fall in a city selected each year. In 2018 the International Competition will be held in St. Louis, MO. Click here to learn more.
Sounds of the Valley Chorus is a chapter of Sweet Adelines International, a non-profit
501(c)(3) organization of approximately 30,000 members in choruses and quartets, worldwide. The Headquarters is in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Sweet Adelines International is a highly respected worldwide organization of women singers committed to advancing the musical art form of barbershop harmony through education, competition and performance.
Mission Statement As a proud chapter of Sweet Adelines International, we are a fun-loving chorus comprised of women of diverse ages and backgrounds who sing "barbershop style" a cappella harmony. To enhance our strong desire for singing and performing, we are enriched by music education that constantly improves our vocal skills and stage presence. We offer exciting performance opportunities by sharing our art form with a wide variety of audiences throughout our local communities.
