Video Art: Cultural Transformations

In the 1960s, there were efforts to move broadcast television in the direction of the experimental video art by altering television\u27s conventional format. Fred Barzyk, in his role as a producer and director at WGBH-TV in Boston, was uniquely positioned to act as a link between television and experimental video artists who normally would not have had access to the technology available at a major broadcast facility. As the leading innovator in the beginnings of video art, the Korean American Nam June Paik (1932-2006) deserves special mention. His work bridges the worlds of art, video technology, and television. The video works of Nan June Paik, Amy Greenfield, Peter Campus, Feng Meng Bo, Elizabeth Sussman and other video artists are considered in this essay as key contributors to the development of video art. The selection is based on my experience with the artists cited. Despite video art\u27s growing popularity among contemporary artists in the 1970s and beyond, the museums were slow to acknowledge this development. One of the problems was deciding where, among the existing museum collections, to locate video art. In its 50 some years of history, video art has enjoyed a remarkable success in its artistic innovations while undergoing changes in formats virtually at the speed of rapid advances in electronic visual technology. Ironically, the legacy of creative television set in motion by Barzyk and his generation has been largely coopted by the television broadcasting industry, which mainly serves as a platform for mass media advertising

Concanavalin A-Nonbinding Enzymes of Crotalus scutulatus scutulatus Venom

Crotalus scutulatus scutulatus crude venom was separated into two fractions by Concanavalin A Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography. The Concanavalin A-nonbinding fraction (F-l) exhibited phosphomonoesterase (orthophosphoric monoester phosphohydrolase EC 3.1 .3.2), phosphodiesterase, 5 \u27-nucleotidase (5 \u27-ribonucleotide phosphohydrolase EC 3.1.3.5), phospholipase A (phosphatidate 2-acylhydrolase EC 3.1.1.4), hyaluronidase (hyaluronate glycanohydrolase EC 3.2.1.d), N-benzoyl-Larginine ethyl esterase, p-toluenesulfonyl-L-arginine methyl esterase, L-amino acid oxidase (L-amino acid: O2 oxidoreductase [deaminating] EC 1.4.3.2), and caseinolytic activities. Thrombin-like and NAD nucleosidase (5 \u27-ribonudeotide phosphohydrolase EC 3.1.3.5) activities were not observed. DEAE Sephadex A-50 ion exchange chromatography by two stage elution of F-l yielded several fractions having proteinase activities. Proteinase activity was observed in the latter fractions of the first elution and in the fractions of the second elution

Bolder Together 2: Building Grassroots Movements for Change

California's demographics are changing fast, but rates of voting and civic participation haven't kept up. In four rapidly growing counties across the state, a group of funders is working with local organizations to support diverse communities to lift up their voice and exercise their power on issues that affect their rights and their quality of life. The work of the funders and their local partners is yielding important lessons as states and communities across the country begin to experience the dramatic demographic shifts that are transforming California. This new report documents key lessons for philanthropy from this work so far. The report is a follow-up to a 2011 report that told the story of the funders' early efforts. Now, after five years of grantmaking and intensive work in the four counties, California Civic Participation Funders tells a fuller story about how local organizations are coming together and working across issues to mobilize diverse communities to flex their democratic rights. The funders also reflect further on how philanthropy can work with local communities to create a nation where government acts in the interests of all of the people

American Lamb Company v. United States: Application of the Reasonable Indication Standard

The utilization of non-tariff barriers in international trade has taken on significant importance in protecting United States industries from unfair trading practices by foreign competitors. Non-tariff barriers such as antidumping and countervailing duty measures are designed to regulate unfair methods of competition and unfair acts by foreign concerns. The regulations promulgated by the International Trade Administration ( ITA ) of the Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission ( ITC ), contain the appropriate measures followed by these agencies in their investigations of potential dumping and countervailing duty violations. If the ITA determines that an investigation is warranted after considering information reasonable available to it, then the ITC renders a preliminary injury determination. This preliminary determination is based on the best information available as to whether a reasonable indication exists that an United States industry has been materially injured, threatened with material injury, or materially retarded from imports that have been allegedly sold at less than fair value or subsidized. However, in American Lamb Company v. United States, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit rejected the Court of International Trade\u27s interpretation of the reasonable indication standard. The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held that the ITC\u27s practice of examining conflicting evidence to ascertain the presence or absence of a reasonable indication of injury or threat of injury in its preliminary determination accords with clearly discernible legislative intent and is sufficiently reasonable
