Stepping through time to past and present communities, settled in deep hollows and surrounded by ridges and mountains in Tennessee's Appalachia, is to confront a different and disappearing realm. Travel along Hogskin and Richland Valleys. Visit Frenches Mill and Dulaney General Store while passing cantilever barns, one-room school buildings and steepled churches. Listen as octogenarians Robert, Charles, Glenn and others explain life without electricity. Former Cades Cove residents Lois and Inez tell stories of living in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park before it was a national park. Authors Fred Brown, retired journalist, and Harry Moore, retired geologist, explore Tennessee's Appalachian region, recalling its culture, land and people before it vanishes into the abyss of time.

Influenza vaccines have been produced in embryonated hens' eggs for over 50 years, but recently there has been considerable effort to develop cell culture systems for vaccine production. This publication reports on a two-day meeting held at the National Institute for Biological Standards and Control. Scientists from many countries involved in the surveillance of influenza viruses and in the manufacture and control of influenza vaccines present their latest findings regarding this new vaccine development. The feasibility and practical advantages of producing a cell-culturederived vaccine are clearly demonstrated, as are the promising results from the initial clinical trials. The main focus of these studies is to make recommendations for future action which should form the basis for collaborative studies and further activities by WHO and regulatory agencies to ensure that cell-culture-derived influenza vaccines are at least equivalent to conventional egg derived vaccines in terms of safety and effectiveness.

Attempting to develop better vaccines This monograph contains proceedings from an International Symposium on Vaccines for OIE List A and Emerging Animal Diseases held in Ames, Iowa, USA, in September 2002. The purpose of the meeting was to review the availability, safety and efficacy of veterinary vaccines for OIE List A diseases and for selected emerging animal diseases. An objective of the meeting was to gather information on the suitability of vaccines for use as an aid in controlling an outbreak in a previously disease-free country. Information on current vaccines and research on vaccines under development was presented. The role of the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) in setting standards for control of animal diseases was reviewed as well as regulatory considerations for emergency use of vaccines in the USA and EU. A survey of the worldwide availability of vaccines for OIE list A diseases was presented and experiences in using vaccines for controlling transboundary animal diseases were discussed. This volume will be of special interest to animal health researchers in university, government, or commercial settings attempting to develop better vaccines for these important diseases.

Autumn presents a stunning array of colors in rural East Tennessee, and Discovering October Roads is the perfect traveler's companion for better enjoying those scenic views. In a compelling, anecdotal narrative, the book describes seven road trips through the region, discussing not only the leaf colors to be seen but also the geology, landscape, and cultural history to be found along each route. In their introduction, Harry Moore and Fred Brown offer an overview of the geologic history and topography of East Tennessee as well as an accessible explanation of the science behind the changing leaf colors. They also discuss a number of common trees and the autumn color associated with each. In the chapters that follow, the authors' descriptions of road trips are arranged according to three geographic areas: the Blue Ridge, the Valley and Ridge, and the Cumberland Plateau. Complementing the narrative is a wealth of illustrations, including maps, geologic line drawings, and photographs--many of which are reproduced in color. Discovering October Roads will prove an indispensable resource for anyone seeking a deeper appreciation of East Tennessee's fall finery. The Authors: Harry Moore is a geologist with the Tennessee Department of Transportation and the author of A Roadside Guide to the Geology of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and A Geologic Trip across Tennessee by Interstate 40. Fred Brown is a feature writer and columnist for the Knoxville News-Sentinel. He is the author, with Jeanne McDonald, of Handling Serpents: Three Families and Their Faith and Growing Up Southern: How the South Shapes Writers.

The roadside historical markers of East Tennessee highlight the fascinating personalities and significant events of a culturally and historically rich region. Forthree years, Knoxville News Sentinel columnist Fred Brown presented the storiesbehind the local markers placed by the Tennessee Historical Commission. He searchedthe highways and back roads of East Tennessee, tracking down markers with directionsthat were sometimes no more specific than ?Highway 11, Greene County.'Arranged by county, the entries link East Tennessee's past and present and highlightthe enormous diversity of the state's history from its prehistoric past through its involvement in World War II. The markers detail bitter struggles with Native Americans in the eighteenth century, but also explain the unique contribution of Cherokee culture and civilization, such as Sequoyah's development of the Cherokee syllabary. Brown commemorates the numerous Civil War sites throughout the region, but he also includes the service of East Tennesseans in later wars. One marker commemorates Kiffin Yates Rockwell, a founding pilot of the Lafayete Escadrille, a famed squadron of aviators in World War I. Another marker details the achievements of Sgt. Elbert L. Kinser of Greene County, who was posthumously decorated for his leadership of a First Marine Division Rifle Platoon on Okinawa.The markers also showcase East Tennessee's unique political history. They tell thestory of the ?lost state? of Franklin in the 1780s and record the region's efforts to secede from the state when Tennessee left the Union in 1861. Brown's narrative also explains the nature of opposing political factions throughout the decades through the biographies of their leaders, such as Elihu Embree, a Quaker abolitionist who founded an antislavery paper in East Tennessee.From the vantage of the armchair or out on the road, Marking Time is a surprisingand engaging trip on the byways of East Tennessee's politics, culture, and history through the stories of the men and women who shaped the state.

A Casebook of Professional Conduct for News Media

Journalism Ethics

Cindy Kelley

Tony Peterson

Closely organized around the Society of Professional Journalists' code of ethics -- the news industry's widely accepted "gold standard" of journalism principles -- this updated edition uses real-life case studies to demonstrate how journalism students and professionals can identify and reason through ethical dilemmas. Stressing the cross-platform viability of basic ethical principles, this study features a wide selection of case studies penned by professional journalists-including several new additions-that offer examples of thoughtful, powerful, and principled reporting. Cases where regrettable decisions have taught important lessons are also included, providing a new template for analyzing moral predicaments.

Media Ethics: A Guide For Professional Conduct

Whatsoever things are good and lovely and of a good report, think on, meditate on these things! With that premise in mind, Hope for a Hopeless Society was born.
