Marian McPartland dies at 95; pioneering female jazz pianist
Marian McPartland, a jazz pianist and composer whose radio show "Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz" was National Public Radio's longest running and most widely carried jazz program, has died. She was 95.
McPartland died of natural causes Tuesday night at her home in Port Washington, N.Y., NPR reported.
One of the jazz world's most visible female instrumentalists, McPartland's highly personal style was rich with colorful harmonies and briskly swinging rhythms, enhanced by a love of bebop, while adapting smoothly to the many stylistic changes taking place in jazz over the course of a career spanning more than half a century.
"Marian McPartland is a harmonic genius," pianist Bill Charlap said. "Her singular musical voice encompasses the past, present and the future of jazz."
Critic John S. Wilson described McPartland's playing in a New York Times review as a "series of paces that were, in effect, a thumbnail history of jazz styles. She took it from basic ragtime to very modern harmonies, throwing in some bebop and some stride piano, shaping the whole concept into an exhilarating performance."
Her versatility proved a distinct asset after the English-born McPartland arrived in the United States in 1946 and moved to Chicago with her husband, cornetist Jimmy McPartland. They performed together for the next three years.
She also discovered a knack for radio in Chicago via a 15-minute daily show. After moving to New York City in 1949, she appeared at the Hickory House jazz club for a decade in the '50s and early '60s. Her trio, with Bill Crow on bass and Joe Morello on drums, made its first Capitol recording, "The Marian McPartland Trio," in 1954. "We were practically reading each other's minds while improvising," recalled Crow on the album liner notes.
Her trio's performances made the Hickory House a favorite gathering place for musicians, with Duke Ellington, Artie Shaw, Billy Strayhorn and Oscar Peterson among the many who came to listen and, at times, to sit in with McPartland.
A thoughtful, generous woman who was as articulate with a pen as she was imaginative and lyrical with her piano, McPartland was quick to acknowledge and honor the players who had the greatest effect on her music.
"One of my greatest influences was Duke Ellington," she wrote in a 1999 article for Piano & Keyboard Magazine. "I listened to Fats Waller (though not as much as Duke), [but] I never really got into stride piano. Benny Goodman and Lionel Hampton, with whom I later worked, influenced me, as did Mel Powell, Teddy Wilson and Jess Stacy. Then other people came into the picture, like Art Tatum and Bud Powell. What has stayed with me is Bill Evans."
She celebrated her love of Ellington in 2000, with the Concord CD tribute, "Marian McPartland: The Single Petal of a Rose, the Essence Of Duke Ellington."
Over the second half of her career McPartland was best known as the engaging hostess of NPR's "Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz."
"They wanted to do something on jazz that was varied instrumentally," McPartland told author Len Lyons in "The Great Jazz Pianists." "But I thought about it and came back to them with the idea that I wanted to concentrate on just the piano." Further discussions refined the concept to include piano solos by guests, as well as duets with McPartland.
Over the show's more than three-decade run beginning in spring 1979, nearly 500 artists — many of them legendary jazz performers — appeared on "Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz." Despite the enormous stylistic range of her guests, she seemed to adapt easily to their unique qualities, both musically and in conversation.
Among the many artists who appeared on "Piano Jazz": Teddy Wilson, George Shearing, Peterson, Dave Brubeck, Cecil Taylor, McCoy Tyner, Ahmad Jamal, Hank Jones and Brad Mehldau. Although the early bookings concentrated on pianists, the programming choices became much wider over the years, eventually including pop performers such as Steely Dan, Alicia Keys, Ray Charles and Boz Scaggs. She recorded her last "Piano Jazz" show in 2010.
She was born Margaret Marian Turner on March 20, 1918, in Slough, Buckinghamshire, England. Her father, a civil engineer, moved the family several times while she was growing up. Demonstrating an early fascination with the piano — including the ability to pick out tunes when she was 3 years old — McPartland's parents nonetheless insisted that she take violin lessons.
"I never really enjoyed the violin," she told International Musician in 1969. "I would practice in lackluster fashion, with one eye on the clock, and when the minute time was up, I rushed back to the piano again."
At 17, she was accepted as a scholarship student at the prestigious Guildhall School of Music and Drama. McPartland found herself drawn to jazz after a boyfriend introduced her to the playing of Ellington, Tatum, Waller and Wilson.
"My ears were more attuned to Art Tatum than Scarlatti," she recalled in the International Musician interview, "and I kept playing more and more jazz during my practice time to the annoyance of my piano teacher who would open the practice-room door and snap, 'Stop playing that drivel!' "
When she decided to leave Guildhall in 1938 to join a touring, four-piano ensemble, "Billy Mayerl and His Claviers," her father made a thousand-pound counteroffer in an effort to keep her in school. But McPartland, who had already been stamped as obstinate and headstrong by her teachers, turned him down.
She continued performing with Mayerl until the early years of World War II, when she joined the Entertainments National Service Assn., bringing entertainment shows to British troops. She eventually transferred to the American USO in Europe.
In 1944, she met cornetist McPartland, a musical disciple of Bix Beiderbecke. Their relationship blossomed into marriage in 1945.
After returning to the United States a year later, McPartland established her jazz authenticity, countering critic Leonard Feather's assertion that she had "three hopeless strikes against her … that she is English, white and a woman."
In 1958 she was among the 57 prominent jazz musicians assembled for Art Kane's iconic photo "A Great Day in Harlem" that appeared in Esquire magazine.
In addition to working with her husband's groups, McPartland followed her long run at the Hickory House with a decade-long engagement at the Cafe Carlyle. She recorded for Savoy, Capitol and several small labels before establishing her own record company, Halcyon, in 1969. Nearly a decade later — in 1978 — she signed with Concord Records, starting a relationship that would produce nearly 70 albums. Numerous recordings of the "Piano Jazz" show have also been released on the Jazz Alliance label, a Concord imprint.
McPartland's book of observations about music and musicians — "All in Good Time" — was published in 1987. She was the subject of a 2011 documentary film, "In Good Time: The Piano Jazz of Marian McPartland."
Although she was divorced from McPartland in 1970, they remained close and remarried a few weeks before he died in 1991. She never had children, but her husband had a child from his first marriage, and two of his grandchildren survive her, along with nieces and nephews.
McPartland's many awards include an NEA Jazz Masters Award and a Grammy Trustees Award, and she was named an officer of the Order of the British Empire in 2010. "Piano Jazz" received a Peabody Award and a Corporation for Public Broadcasting Award.

In addition to being used as a recreational drug, marijuana has been used for centuries to treat a variety of conditions, from chronic pain to epilepsy. However, its medical value is greatly limited by debilitating side effects. A study published by Cell Press November 21st in the journal Cell has revealed the molecular pathways responsible for marijuana-induced learning and memory problems. The findings suggest that preventing these side effects could be as easy as taking an over-the-counter painkiller.
"Our studies have solved the longtime mystery of how marijuana causes neuronal and memory impairments," says senior study author Chu Chen of Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center. "The results suggest that the use of medical marijuana could be broadened if patients concurrently take a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug such as ibuprofen."
The main active ingredient in marijuana is Δ 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), and drugs based on this compound have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat nausea and vomiting in chemotherapy patients. But these drugs have not been approved for a wider range of conditions, in part because of Δ9-THC-induced side effects. Moreover, there are no effective FDA-approved treatments for these side effects because, until now, little was known about the molecular pathways underlying these impairments.
The signaling pathway that leads to learning and memory impairments induced by marijuana
(Photo Credit: Cell, Chen et al.)
In the new study, Chen and his team discovered that Δ9-THC treatment caused an increase in levels of an enzyme called cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in the mouse hippocampus, a brain region involved in learning and memory. Drugs or genetic techniques that reduced COX-2 levels in mice prevented memory problems and neuronal abnormalities caused by repeated Δ9-THC exposure. Because COX-2 is inhibited by over-the-counter painkillers such as ibuprofen, the findings suggest an easy strategy to prevent the side effects of marijuana.
The researchers also discovered that Δ9-THC treatment reduced neuronal damage in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease, and this beneficial effect persisted when the animals were simultaneously treated with a COX-2 inhibitor. "There are no effective medications currently available for preventing and treating Alzheimer's disease or halting disease progression," Chen says. "Our results suggest that the unwanted side effects of cannabis could be eliminated or reduced, while retaining its beneficial effects, by administering a COX-2 inhibitor along with Δ9-THC for the treatment of intractable medical conditions such as Alzheimer's disease."

Selling Inherited Property
Did you recently inherit property from a loved one that you intend to sell? If so, you have probably discovered that selling inherited property is an emotional process that comes with its own set of challenges. And if you have inherited a home along with your siblings, there are even more logistics you have to deal with. Here's what you will need to know to make the process as smooth and pain-free as possible.
Understand the tax implications
When selling a home that you've inherited, the tax basis is the value of the property on the day the previous owner died. You will owe taxes on whatever the difference is between the value of the home when you inherited it and the amount you sell it for.
To illustrate, if the home was valued at $100,000 on the day the previous owner died and you sell it for $150,000, you will report a gain of $50,000 for tax purposes. If you are splitting the inheritance with others, then the gain will also be split. For example, if you would be sharing the inheritance with one sibling, each of you would report a gain of $25,000. If the selling price is less than the value, you do not need to report a gain. If you have any questions, seek the advice of a qualified accountant or tax attorney.
Wait through probate
Before you sell the inherited property, you must wait for it to go through probate. Some states allow for an expedited probate process if the total value of the estate is relatively small. However, most estates that include property will likely exceed this threshold. Once probate has concluded, the executor will be given permission to distribute assets and settle debts.
Make an agreement to sell
If you have inherited property with others, all parties will need to agree to the sale. If not everyone agrees, working with a mediator can help. In some cases, one party may want to keep the property and will agree to buy out the other shares. In other cases, the property must be sold in order to settle any outstanding debts the estate may have.
Prepare to sell
Once all parties have made an agreement to sell, it's time to prepare the property to go to market. The home will need to be cleaned out first, oftentimes through an estate sale. Usually one person will be designated to handle any transactions. This is typically either the executor of the will or the trustee if the property was held in a trust. Consider enlisting the help of a real estate professional, who can assist with pricing the home accurately, coordinating showings and handling the closing process.
Be gentle on yourself
Selling an inherited home from a loved one is a tough process. Sorting through belongings and deciding what to keep and how to divide them up can be emotionally draining. Even siblings who have great relationships can find themselves in heated arguments. Be sure to take care of yourself and find time away to decompress during the process.

New York, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in the United States, is scrambling to obtain ventilators wherever it can find them. The state ordered 17,000 of the lifesaving devices from the federal government, but "that order never came through," Gov. Andrew Cuomo told reporters at a news conference Saturday.
So, in times of desperation, Cuomo said New York is getting help from some rather distant partners: Oregon, which is making an unsolicited donation of 140 ventilators to the state, and the Chinese government, which facilitated a delivery of 1,000 ventilators arriving Saturday in New York City.
"This is a big deal," he said, "and it's going to make a significant difference for us."
Saturday brought another slew of alarming numbers for New York, which reported that 630 people have died of COVID-19 since Friday, bringing the state's total death toll to 3,565 so far. With more than 113,000 confirmed cases, New York continues to outpace every other state — though New Jersey has reported alarming spikes of its own recently and state officials across the country are enacting sweeping measures to try to slow the outbreak.
Already, the U.S. has seen more confirmed cases of the virus than the next two countries combined, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
And federal authorities have struggled to meet the demand for ventilators, which medical workers across the country need to treat a respiratory disease that often leaves patients gasping for breath.
"The federal government says the stockpile [of ventilators] is about 10,000," Cuomo said Saturday, adding: "That's for the nation! So there's no place, there's no repository that is going to have everything that we need."
That means states such as Oregon, which has so far seen a relatively lighter impact from the virus, may soon find themselves in need, as well. The New York governor said that also makes Oregon's ventilator donation — in addition to being a generous gesture — a smart one from the standpoint of Oregon's self-interest.
"They see the fire spreading," Cuomo said, explaining the simple thought process: "Stop the fire where it is before it gets to my home."

(a) Copyright protection subsists, in accordance with this title, in original works of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression, now known or later developed, from which they can be perceived, reproduced, or otherwise communicated, either directly or with the aid of a machine or device. Works of authorship include the following categories:
(1) literary works;
(2) musical works, including any accompanying words;
(3) dramatic works, including any accompanying music;
(4) pantomimes and choreographic works;
(5) pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works;
(6) motion pictures and other audiovisual works;
(7) sound recordings; and
(8) architectural works.
(b) In no case does copyright protection for an original work of authorship extend to any idea, procedure, process, system, method of operation, concept, principle, or discovery, regardless of the form in which it is described, explained, illustrated, or embodied in such work.
(Pub. L. 94–553, title I, §101, Oct. 19, 1976, 90 Stat. 2544; Pub. L. 101–650, title VII, §703, Dec. 1, 1990, 104 Stat. 5133.)
Original Works of Authorship. The two fundamental criteria of copyright protection—originality and fixation in tangible form are restated in the first sentence of this cornerstone provision. The phrase "original works or authorship," which is purposely left undefined, is intended to incorporate without change the standard of originality established by the courts under the present copyright statute. This standard does not include requirements of novelty, ingenuity, or esthetic merit, and there is no intention to enlarge the standard of copyright protection to require them.
In using the phrase "original works of authorship," rather than "all the writings of an author" now in section 4 of the statute [section 4 of former title 17], the committee's purpose is to avoid exhausting the constitutional power of Congress to legislate in this field, and to eliminate the uncertainties arising from the latter phrase. Since the present statutory language is substantially the same as the empowering language of the Constitution [Const. Art. I, §8, cl. 8], a recurring question has been whether the statutory and the constitutional provisions are coextensive. If so, the courts would be faced with the alternative of holding copyrightable something that Congress clearly did not intend to protect, or of holding constitutionally incapable of copyright something that Congress might one day want to protect. To avoid these equally undesirable results, the courts have indicated that "all the writings of an author" under the present statute is narrower in scope than the "writings" of "authors" referred to in the Constitution. The bill avoids this dilemma by using a different phrase—"original works of authorship"—in characterizing the general subject matter of statutory copyright protection.
The history of copyright law has been one of gradual expansion in the types of works accorded protection, and the subject matter affected by this expansion has fallen into two general categories. In the first, scientific discoveries and technological developments have made possible new forms of creative expression that never existed before. In some of these cases the new expressive forms—electronic music, filmstrips, and computer programs, for example—could be regarded as an extension of copyrightable subject matter Congress had already intended to protect, and were thus considered copyrightable from the outset without the need of new legislation. In other cases, such as photographs, sound recordings, and motion pictures, statutory enactment was deemed necessary to give them full recognition as copyrightable works.
Authors are continually finding new ways of expressing themselves, but it is impossible to foresee the forms that these new expressive methods will take. The bill does not intend either to freeze the scope of copyrightable subject matter at the present stage of communications technology or to allow unlimited expansion into areas completely outside the present congressional intent. Section 102 implies neither that that subject matter is unlimited nor that new forms of expression within that general area of subject matter would necessarily be unprotected.
The historic expansion of copyright has also applied to forms of expression which, although in existence for generations or centuries, have only gradually come to be recognized as creative and worthy of protection. The first copyright statute in this country, enacted in 1790, designated only "maps, charts, and books"; major forms of expression such as music, drama, and works of art achieved specific statutory recognition only in later enactments. Although the coverage of the present statute is very broad, and would be broadened further by the explicit recognition of all forms of choreography, there are unquestionably other areas of existing subject matter that this bill does not propose to protect but that future Congresses may want to.
Fixation in Tangible Form. As a basic condition of copyright protection, the bill perpetuates the existing requirement that a work be fixed in a "tangible medium of expression," and adds that this medium may be one "now known or later developed," and that the fixation is sufficient if the work "can be perceived, reproduced, or otherwise communicated, either directly or with the aid of a machine or device." This broad language is intended to avoid the artificial and largely unjustifiable distinctions, derived from cases such as White-Smith Publishing Co. v. Apollo Co., 209 U.S. 1 (1908) [28 S.Ct. 319, 52 L.Ed. 655], under which statutory copyrightability in certain cases has been made to depend upon the form or medium in which the work is fixed. Under the bill it makes no difference what the form, manner, or medium of fixation may be—whether it is in words, numbers, notes, sounds, pictures, or any other graphic or symbolic indicia, whether embodied in a physical object in written, printed, photographic, sculptural, punched, magnetic, or any other stable form, and whether it is capable of perception directly or by means of any machine or device "now known or later developed."
Under the bill, the concept of fixation is important since it not only determines whether the provisions of the statute apply to a work, but it also represents the dividing line between common law and statutory protection. As will be noted in more detail in connection with section 301, an unfixed work of authorship, such as an improvisation or an unrecorded choreographic work, performance, or broadcast, would continue to be subject to protection under State common law or statute, but would not be eligible for Federal statutory protection under section 102.
The bill seeks to resolve, through the definition of "fixation" in section 101, the status of live broadcasts—sports, news coverage, live performances of music, etc.—that are reaching the public in unfixed form but that are simultaneously being recorded. When a football game is being covered by four television cameras, with a director guiding the activities of the four cameramen and choosing which of their electronic images are sent out to the public and in what order, there is little doubt that what the cameramen and the director are doing constitutes "authorship." The further question to be considered is whether there has been a fixation. If the images and sounds to be broadcast are first recorded (on a video tape, film, etc.) and then transmitted, the recorded work would be considered a "motion picture" subject to statutory protection against unauthorized reproduction or retransmission of the broadcast. If the program content is transmitted live to the public while being recorded at the same time, the case would be treated the same; the copyright owner would not be forced to rely on common law rather than statutory rights in proceeding against an infringing user of the live broadcast.
Thus, assuming it is copyrightable—as a "motion picture" or "sound recording," for example—the content of a live transmission should be regarded as fixed and should be accorded statutory protection if it is being recorded simultaneously with its transmission. On the other hand, the definition of "fixation" would exclude from the concept purely evanescent or transient reproductions such as those projected briefly on a screen, shown electronically on a television or other cathode ray tube, or captured momentarily in the "memory" of a computer.
Under the first sentence of the definition of "fixed" in section 101, a work would be considered "fixed in a tangible medium of expression" if there has been an authorized embodiment in a copy or phonorecord and if that embodiment "is sufficiently permanent or stable" to permit the work "to be perceived, reproduced, or otherwise communicated for a period of more than transitory duration." The second sentence makes clear that, in the case of "a work consisting of sounds, images, or both, that are being transmitted," the work is regarded as "fixed" if a fixation is being made at the same time as the transmission.
Under this definition "copies" and "phonorecords" together will comprise all of the material objects in which copyrightable works are capable of being fixed. The definitions of these terms in section 101, together with their usage in section 102 and throughout the bill, reflect a fundamental distinction between the "original work" which is the product of "authorship" and the multitude of material objects in which it can be embodied. Thus, in the sense of the bill, a "book" is not a work of authorship, but is a particular kind of "copy." Instead, the author may write a "literary work," which in turn can be embodied in a wide range of "copies" and "phonorecords," including books, periodicals, computer punch cards, microfilm, tape recordings, and so forth. It is possible to have an "original work of authorship" without having a "copy" or "phonorecord" embodying it, and it is also possible to have a "copy" or "phonorecord" embodying something that does not qualify as an "original work of authorship." The two essential elements—original work and tangible object—must merge through fixation in order to produce subject matter copyrightable under the statute.
Categories of Copyrightable Works. The second sentence of section 102 lists seven broad categories which the concept of "works of authorship" is said to "include". The use of the word "include," as defined in section 101, makes clear that the listing is "illustrative and not limitative," and that the seven categories do not necessarily exhaust the scope of "original works of authorship" that the bill is intended to protect. Rather, the list sets out the general area of copyrightable subject matter, but with sufficient flexibility to free the courts from rigid or outmoded concepts of the scope of particular categories. The items are also overlapping in the sense that a work falling within one class may encompass works coming within some or all of the other categories. In the aggregate, the list covers all classes of works now specified in section 5 of title 17 [section 5 of former title 17]; in addition, it specifically enumerates "pantomimes and choreographic works".
Of the seven items listed, four are defined in section 101. The three undefined categories—"musical works," "dramatic works," and "pantomimes and choreographic works"—have fairly settled meanings. There is no need, for example, to specify the copyrightability of electronic or concrete music in the statute since the form of a work would no longer be of any importance, nor is it necessary to specify that "choreographic works" do not include social dance steps and simple routines.
The four items defined in section 101 are "literary works," "pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works," "motion pictures and audiovisual works", and "sound recordings". In each of these cases, definitions are needed not only because the meaning of the term itself is unsettled but also because the distinction between "work" and "material object" requires clarification. The term "literary works" does not connote any criterion of literary merit or qualitative value: it includes catalogs, directories, and similar factual, reference, or instructional works and compilations of data. It also includes computer data bases, and computer programs to the extent that they incorporate authorship in the programmer's expression of original ideas, as distinguished from the ideas themselves.
Correspondingly, the definition of "pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works" carries with it no implied criterion of artistic taste, aesthetic value, or intrinsic quality. The term is intended to comprise not only "works of art" in the traditional sense but also works of graphic art and illustration, art reproductions, plans and drawings, photographs and reproductions of them, maps, charts, globes, and other cartographic works, works of these kinds intended for use in advertising and commerce, and works of "applied art." There is no intention whatever to narrow the scope of the subject matter now characterized in section 5(k) [section 5(k) of former title 17] as "prints or labels used for articles of merchandise." However, since this terminology suggests the material object in which a work is embodied rather than the work itself, the bill does not mention this category separately.
In accordance with the Supreme Court's decision in Mazer v. Stein, 347 U.S. 201 (1954) [74 S.Ct. 460, 98 L. Ed. 630, rehearing denied 74 S.Ct. 637, 347 U.S. 949, 98 L.Ed. 1096], works of "applied art" encompass all original pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works that are intended to be or have been embodied in useful articles, regardless of factors such as mass production, commercial exploitation, and the potential availability of design patent protection. The scope of exclusive rights in these works is given special treatment in section 113, to be discussed below.
The Committee has added language to the definition of "pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works" in an effort to make clearer the distinction between works of applied art protectable under the bill and industrial designs not subject to copyright protection. The declaration that "pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works" include "works of artistic craftsmanship insofar as their form but not their mechanical or utilitarian aspects are concerned" is classic language; it is drawn from Copyright Office regulations promulgated in the 1940's and expressly endorsed by the Supreme Court in the Mazer case.
The second part of the amendment states that "the design of a useful article * * * shall be considered a pictorial, graphic, or sculptural work only if, and only to the extent that, such design incorporates pictorial, graphic, or sculptural features that can be identified separately from, and are capable of existing independently of, the utilitarian aspects of the article." A "useful article" is defined as "an article having an intrinsic utilitarian function that is not merely to portray the appearance of the article or to convey information." This part of the amendment is an adaptation of language added to the Copyright Office Regulations in the mid-1950's in an effort to implement the Supreme Court's decision in the Mazer case.
In adopting this amendatory language, the Committee is seeking to draw as clear a line as possible between copyrightable works of applied art and uncopyrighted works of industrial design. A two-dimensional painting, drawing, or graphic work is still capable of being identified as such when it is printed on or applied to utilitarian articles such as textile fabrics, wallpaper, containers, and the like. The same is true when a statue or carving is used to embellish an industrial product or, as in the Mazer case, is incorporated into a product without losing its ability to exist independently as a work of art. On the other hand, although the shape of an industrial product may be aesthetically satisfying and valuable, the Committee's intention is not to offer it copyright protection under the bill. Unless the shape of an automobile, airplane, ladies' dress, food processor, television set, or any other industrial product contains some element that, physically or conceptually, can be identified as separable from the utilitarian aspects of that article, the design would not be copyrighted under the bill. The test of separability and independence from "the utilitarian aspects of the article" does not depend upon the nature of the design—that is, even if the appearance of an article is determined by aesthetic (as opposed to functional) considerations, only elements, if any, which can be identified separately from the useful article as such are copyrightable. And, even if the three-dimensional design contains some such element (for example, a carving on the back of a chair or a floral relief design on silver flatware), copyright protection would extend only to that element, and would not cover the over-all configuration of the utilitarian article as such.
A special situation is presented by architectural works. An architect's plans and drawings would, of course, be protected by copyright, but the extent to which that protection would extend to the structure depicted would depend on the circumstances. Purely nonfunctional or monumental structures would be subject to full copyright protection under the bill, and the same would be true of artistic sculpture or decorative ornamentation or embellishment added to a structure. On the other hand, where the only elements of shape in an architectural design are conceptually inseparable from the utilitarian aspects of the structure, copyright protection for the design would not be available.
The Committee has considered, but chosen to defer, the possibility of protecting the design of typefaces. A "typeface" can be defined as a set of letters, numbers, or other symbolic characters, whose forms are related by repeating design elements consistently applied in a notational system and are intended to be embodied in articles whose intrinsic utilitarian function is for use in composing text or other cognizable combinations of characters. The Committee does not regard the design of typeface, as thus defined, to be a copyrightable "pictorial, graphic, or sculptural work" within the meaning of this bill and the application of the dividing line in section 101.
Enactment of Public Law 92–140 in 1971 [Pub. L. 92–140, Oct. 15, 1971, 85 Stat. 391, which amended sections 1, 5, 19, 20, 26, and 101 of former title 17, and enacted provisions set out as a note under section 1 of former title 17] marked the first recognition in American copyright law of sound recordings as copyrightable works. As defined in section 101, copyrightable "sound recordings" are original works of authorship comprising an aggregate of musical, spoken, or other sounds that have been fixed in tangible form. The copyrightable work comprises the aggregation of sounds and not the tangible medium of fixation. Thus, "sound recordings" as copyrightable subject matter are distinguished from "phonorecords," the latter being physical objects in which sounds are fixed. They are also distinguished from any copyrighted literary, dramatic, or musical works that may be reproduced on a "phonorecord."
As a class of subject matter, sound recordings are clearly within the scope of the "writings of an author" capable of protection under the Constitution [Const. Art. I, §8, cl. 8], and the extension of limited statutory protection to them was too long delayed. Aside from cases in which sounds are fixed by some purely mechanical means without originality of any kind, the copyright protection that would prevent the reproduction and distribution of unauthorized phonorecords of sound recordings is clearly justified.
The copyrightable elements in a sound recording will usually, though not always, involve "authorship" both on the part of the performers whose performance is captured and on the part of the record producer responsible for setting up the recording session, capturing and electronically processing the sounds, and compiling and editing them to make the final sound recording. There may, however, be cases where the record producer's contribution is so minimal that the performance is the only copyrightable element in the work, and there may be cases (for example, recordings of birdcalls, sounds of racing cars, et cetera) where only the record producer's contribution is copyrightable.
Sound tracks of motion pictures, long a nebulous area in American copyright law, are specifically included in the definition of "motion pictures," and excluded in the definition of "sound recordings." To be a "motion picture," as defined, requires three elements: (1) a series of images, (2) the capability of showing the images in certain successive order, and (3) an impression of motion when the images are thus shown. Coupled with the basic requirements of original authorship and fixation in tangible form, this definition encompasses a wide range of cinematographic works embodied in films, tapes, video disks, and other media. However, it would not include: (1) unauthorized fixations of live performances or telecasts, (2) live telecasts that are not fixed simultaneously with their transmission, or (3) filmstrips and slide sets which, although consisting of a series of images intended to be shown in succession, are not capable of conveying an impression of motion.
On the other hand, the bill equates audiovisual materials such as filmstrips, slide sets, and sets of transparencies with "motion pictures" rather than with "pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works." Their sequential showing is closer to a "performance" than to a "display," and the definition of "audiovisual works," which applies also to "motion pictures," embraces works consisting of a series of related images that are by their nature, intended for showing by means of projectors or other devices.
Nature of Copyright. Copyright does not preclude others from using the ideas or information revealed by the author's work. It pertains to the literary, musical, graphic, or artistic form in which the author expressed intellectual concepts. Section 102(b) makes clear that copyright protection does not extend to any idea, procedure, process, system, method of operation, concept, principle, or discovery, regardless of the form in which it is described, explained, illustrated, or embodied in such work.
Some concern has been expressed lest copyright in computer programs should extend protection to the methodology or processes adopted by the programmer, rather than merely to the "writing" expressing his ideas. Section 102(b) is intended, among other things, to make clear that the expression adopted by the programmer is the copyrightable element in a computer program, and that the actual processes or methods embodied in the program are not within the scope of the copyright law.
Section 102(b) in no way enlarges or contracts the scope of copyright protection under the present law. Its purpose is to restate, in the context of the new single Federal system of copyright, that the basic dichotomy between expression and idea remains unchanged.
1990—Subsec. (a)(8). Pub. L. 101–650 added par. (8).
Amendment by Pub. L. 101–650 applicable to any architectural work created on or after Dec. 1, 1990, and any architectural work, that, on Dec. 1, 1990, is unconstructed and embodied in unpublished plans or drawings, except that protection for such architectural work under this title terminates on Dec. 31, 2002, unless the work is constructed by that date, see section 706 of Pub. L. 101–650, set out as a note under section 101 of this title.

European luxuries or Balkan fields? Why do we have to choose? Let's first enjoy the European luxuries and then wander around "our" territory, the Balkans. This year the plan was to drive through 13 countries (including Greece) and cover about 5700 km in 16 days. Almost every day, we would wake up at a different country! Our journey included a little bit of everything: modern capitals, picturesque towns, forgotten villages, national parks, bombed landscapes, mountain passes and unknown paths, famous landmarks and well hidden secrets… So many controversial images that it's hard to put them in an order and tell the story. But let's give it a try!…

As the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve, millions of people vow to eat better, work out more and lead a healthier life.
But something is missing from this equation. While eating well and getting exercise are extremely important, too often people neglect the keystone of good health: sleep.
While few people like daily workout routines or kale salad, most everyone loves sleep. And a good night's sleep loves you, too: It boosts mental and physical well-being.
With today's stressful, highly caffeinated, screen-addicted lifestyles, millions of Americans do not get enough sleep. There are many reasons for this. A look at the 2017 Sleep in Review study by Sleep Number suggests that sleeping habits are highly individualized and need to be addressed on a case-by-case basis.
A look at the numbers
This year, more than 30 percent of Americans reported they slept worse than in 2016.
A big culprit here is television. Nearly half of all respondents said that television often cuts into their sleep. In fact, 24 percent of millennials and 14 percent of all Americans report that binge watching before bed prevents them from getting enough rest.
Nearly 70 percent say worry and responsibility are preventing them from getting the sleep they need. A racing mind keeps many Americans from getting rest, particularly among Gen Xers. Worries about taking care of others – aging parents or young children – can often lead to neglecting yourself.
However, putting your own self-care first is often the best way to care for others. Those who sleep well say they have a healthy balance of taking time for themselves and helping others that need them (39 percent versus 26 percent). Of course, if you're having difficulty sleeping, this might sound easier said than done.
How do you get there? How do you achieve that wonderful, restorative eight hours of sleep?
There's not one right way to do this, but according to the survey, there are several habits good sleepers have:
- Ditch the device: Forty-six percent of self-described "good sleepers" never or rarely bring a device to bed.
- Have a laugh: Those who sleep well are more likely to watch a comedy before going to sleep.
- Keep it cool: Forty-five percent say that cooling down the bedroom temperature is the No. 1 thing they do to improve sleep.
- Stay tidy: Those who make their bed every morning are less likely to struggle with sleep.
A good night's sleep can mean the difference between having a wonderful or a horrible day. More and more Americans are realizing this. Over half (54 percent) of those surveyed are making "improving the quality of their sleep" one of their New Year's resolutions, which is up 30 percentage points from 2014.
An individualized path to better sleep
In the past five years, millions of people have embraced software and technology that tracks their eating and exercise habits. These small devices give an individualized report that allows people to monitor their activity and adjust in a way that promotes good habits and health. Similarly, Sleep Number's SleepIQ technology(R) tracks your sleeping habits, and in the morning, it gives you a personalized report on how you slept, offering insights on how you might improve your sleeping habits.
Sleep is so individualized, and there's no one right way to do it. The more you know about how you're sleeping, the more you can learn what adjustments you should make to sleep better. Learn more about the latest in sleep tracking and adjustable comfort at sleepnumber.com.

tl;dr: We have a new Keysign release with support for exchanging keys via the Internet.
I am very proud to announce this version of GNOME Keysign, because it marks an important step towards a famous "1.0". In fact, it might be just that. But given the potentially complicated new dependencies, I thought it'd be nice to make sort of an rc release.
The main feature is a transport via the Internet. In fact, the code has been lurking around since last summer thanks to Ludovico's great work. I felt it needed some massaging and more gentle introduction to the code base before finally enabling it.
For the transport we use Magic Wormhole, an amazing package for transferring files securely. If you don't know it yet, give it a try. It is a very convenient tool for sending files across the Internet. They have a rendezvous server so that it works in NATted environments, too. Great.
You may wonder why we need an Internet transport, given that we have local network and Bluetooth already. And the question is good, because initially I didn't think that we'd expose ourselves to the Internet. Simply because the attack surface is just so much larger and also because I think that it's so weird to go all the way through the Internet when all we need is to transfer a few bytes between two physically close machines. It doesn't sound very clever to connect to the Internet when all we need is to bridge 20 centimetres.
Anyway, as it turns out, WiFi access points don't allow clients to connect to each other 🙁 Then we have Bluetooth, but it's still a bit awkward to use. My impression is that people are not satisfied with the quality of Bluetooth connections. Also, the Internet is comparatively easy to use, both as a programmer and a user.
Of course, we now also have the option to exchange keys when not being physically close. I do not recommend that, though, because our security assumes the visual channel to be present and, in fact, secure. In other words: Scan the barcode for a secure key signing experience. Be aware that if you transfer the "security code" manually via other means, you may be compromised.
With this change, the UX changes a bit for the non-Internet transports, too. For example, we have a final page now which indicates success or failure. We can use this as a base for accompanying the signing process further, e.g. sign the key again with a non-exportable short-term signature s.t. the user can send an email right away. Or exchange the keys again after the email has been received. Exciting times ahead.
Now, after the wall of text, you may wonder how to get hold of this release. It should show up on Flathub soon.

Handling touch gestures in Flash Lite
With the release of many touch-enabled devices, as the latest Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and the forthcoming Nokia N97, applications can benefit from new ways of touch-based interactions. A typical example of these new patterns is represented by gestures: simple finger/stylus actions that allow the user to perform specific task, without the need of a precise interaction (e.g.: identify and press a specific button).
This article will explain how to implement basic touch gestures in Flash Lite. Specifically, we'll see how to detect both horizontal (left-to-right and right-to-left) and vertical (up-to-down and down-to-up) gestures.
In the above video it's possible to see a simple Flash Lite photo viewer, where the user can go from a photo to the next/previous just sliding finger or stylus.
The source code
Step 1. Detect touch events
First thing to do is to detect and handle touch-based events, and this can be done by implementing a MouseListener, and its onMouseDown() and onMouseUp() methods. We also define 4 Number variables to hold the x and y coordinates associated to the mouse up and down events: these will be used to detect if the touch interaction was actually a gesture or not.
So, take a new and empty FLA, and add this code on your first frame:
var startX:Number; var startY:Number; var endX:Number; var endY:Number; var gesturesListener:Object = new Object(); gesturesListener.onMouseDown = function() { startX = _root._xmouse; startY = _root._ymouse; } gesturesListener.onMouseUp = function() { endX = _root._xmouse; endY = _root._ymouse; checkGesture(); } Mouse.addListener(gesturesListener); |
The onMouseDown() function just sets the starting coordinates values, while the onMouseUp() also calls the checkGesture() function, defined below, that will check if the touch interaction was actually a gesture.
Step 2. Identify a gesture
Before trying to identify a gesture, let's define some variables used to identify and define specific gesture types:
// minimum length of an horizontal gesture var MIN_H_GESTURE:Number = Stage.width / 3; // minimum length of a vertical gesture var MIN_V_GESTURE:Number = Stage.height / 3; // flags for each kind of gesture var UP_TO_DOWN:Number = 1; var DOWN_TO_UP:Number = 2; var LEFT_TO_RIGHT:Number = 4; var RIGHT_TO_LEFT:Number = 8; |
The MIN_H_GESTURE and MIN_V_GESTURE variables define the minimum horizontal and vertical distances that must exist between the onMouseDown() and the onMouseUp() event to have, respectively, a horizontal or a vertical gesture.
Now, we can easily implement the checkGesture() function, by getting the horizontal and vertical length of the touch interaction, and comparing them with the minimum distances defined above.
function checkGesture() { var xDelta:Number = endX - startX; var yDelta:Number = endY - startY; var gesture:Number = 0; if(xDelta > MIN_H_GESTURE) gesture |= LEFT_TO_RIGHT; else if(xDelta < - MIN_H_GESTURE) gesture |= RIGHT_TO_LEFT; if(yDelta > MIN_V_GESTURE) gesture |= UP_TO_DOWN; else if(yDelta < - MIN_V_GESTURE) gesture |= DOWN_TO_UP; if(gesture > 0) handleGesture(gesture); } |
Step 3. Handling the detected gesture
Once identified a gesture, we have to actually handle it in some way. To do it, we'll implement the handleGesture() function, that will check the passed argument to find which is the specific identified gesture.
In this example, we'll simply trace the kind of identified gesture(s).
function handleGesture(gestureFlags:Number) { if(gestureFlags & LEFT_TO_RIGHT) trace("left to right gesture"); if(gestureFlags & RIGHT_TO_LEFT) trace("right to left gesture"); if(gestureFlags & UP_TO_DOWN) trace("up to down gesture"); if(gestureFlags & DOWN_TO_UP) trace("down to up gesture"); } |
Further development
A lot of improvements can be done to the code presented in this article. Just some example:
- Detect diagonal gestures: by checking the appropriate gesture flags, it's already possible to identify mixed diagonal gestures. So, basically you need to extend a bit the handleGesture() method
- Define a maximum time to perform a gesture: basically, accept a gesture only if the time elapsed to perform it is below a certain limit. This could be useful in some scenarios, to avoid detecting fake gestures.

It seems that everywhere we look there is a book, article, or talk show host talking about how to reduce stress and anxiety. One of the most common issues clients seek treatment for is anxiety. Even if it is not the primary issue, often it is among a laundry list of things someone would like to change. Anxiety can be very debilitating for some people and it can take on many different forms. Some people are anxious about a specific problem, such as giving a speech or flying. Other people are anxious about illnesses and still others are worried about what people think of them. Anxiety can become so debilitating that a person stops leaving their home or cannot stop counting or checking and therefore cannot hold down a job.
Although anxiety is uncomfortable and in extreme cases can cause interference in daily functioning, how realistic is it for us to hope to eliminate it altogether? Maybe even more importantly, what would happen if we did not have anxiety? What would happen if you were driving to work and you had no fear of a ticket or a car accident? What would keep you from going as fast as your car can go? Once you got to work, if you had no anxiety about money or getting laid off would you work hard? If you had no concern for what others thought about you, would you be thoughtful of their feelings and how you speak to them? What if you had no fear of illnesses? Would you eat foods that do not taste as good to you but are healthy? I bet chocolate would be the first food eaten, not just the dessert. Trans fat? No one would worry about it, right? What kind of parents would we be if there were no concern for how our children do in school or what kind of adults they turn into? As it turns out, anxiety is a healthy, natural human emotion that serves a very important role for us.

NASA's next Mars rover will land at the foot of a layered mountain inside the planet's Gale Crater.
The car-sized Mars Science Laboratory, or Curiosity, is scheduled to launch late this year and land in August 2012. The target crater spans 96 miles (154 kilometers) in diameter and holds a mountain rising higher from the crater floor than Mount Rainier rises above Seattle. Gale is about the combined area of Connecticut and Rhode Island. Layering in the mound suggests it is the surviving remnant of an extensive sequence of deposits. The crater is named for Australian astronomer Walter F. Gale.
"Mars is firmly in our sights," said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden. "Curiosity not only will return a wealth of important science data, but it will serve as a precursor mission for human exploration to the Red Planet."
During a prime mission lasting one Martian year — nearly two Earth years — researchers will use the rover's tools to study whether the landing region had favorable environmental conditions for supporting microbial life and for preserving clues about whether life ever existed.
"Scientists identified Gale as their top choice to pursue the ambitious goals of this new rover mission," said Jim Green, director for the Planetary Science Division at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "The site offers a visually dramatic landscape and also great potential for significant science findings."
In 2006, more than 100 scientists began to consider about 30 potential landing sites during worldwide workshops. Four candidates were selected in 2008. An abundance of targeted images enabled thorough analysis of the safety concerns and scientific attractions of each site. A team of senior NASA science officials then conducted a detailed review and unanimously agreed to move forward with the MSL Science Team's recommendation. The team is comprised of a host of principal and co-investigators on the project.
Curiosity is about twice as long and more than five times as heavy as any previous Mars rover. Its 10 science instruments include two for ingesting and analyzing samples of powdered rock that the rover's robotic arm collects. A radioisotope power source will provide heat and electric power to the rover. A rocket-powered sky crane suspending Curiosity on tethers will lower the rover directly to the Martian surface.
The portion of the crater where Curiosity will land has an alluvial fan likely formed by water-carried sediments. The layers at the base of the mountain contain clays and sulfates, both known to form in water.
"One fascination with Gale is that it's a huge crater sitting in a very low-elevation position on Mars, and we all know that water runs downhill," said John Grotzinger, the mission's project scientist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Calif. "In terms of the total vertical profile exposed and the low elevation, Gale offers attractions similar to Mars' famous Valles Marineris, the largest canyon in the solar system."
Curiosity will go beyond the "follow-the-water" strategy of recent Mars exploration. The rover's science payload can identify other ingredients of life, such as the carbon-based building blocks of biology called organic compounds. Long-term preservation of organic compounds requires special conditions. Certain minerals, including some Curiosity may find in the clay and sulfate-rich layers near the bottom of Gale's mountain, are good at latching onto organic compounds and protecting them from oxidation.
"Gale gives us attractive possibilities for finding organics, but that is still a long shot," said Michael Meyer, lead scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program at agency headquarters. "What adds to Gale's appeal is that, organics or not, the site holds a diversity of features and layers for investigating changing environmental conditions, some of which could inform a broader understanding of habitability on ancient Mars."
The rover and other spacecraft components are being assembled and are undergoing final testing. The mission is targeted to launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida between Nov. 25 and Dec. 18. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena manages the mission for the agency's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. JPL is a division of Caltech.
