Congress passed a law requiring allstations providing internet streams to reportplay lists and listener stream data toa performance rights organization. It isCongress’s intention to protect royalty rightsof performing artists from digital bootlegging.SoundExchange is the sole organizationcharged with collecting and distributingroyalties by the Copyright Royalty Board. SoundExchange has attracted somecriticism for applying to the Copyright Officeto set disproportionately high royalty rateson Internet radio as compared to satelliteand terrestrial services, leading some Internetbroadcasters to cease operations. Non-commercial and public radiostations were, at one time, exempt from thisreporting and fee process because of theyearly ASCAP and BMI fees we pay, but nomore. One of the new rules regardinginternet streaming discourages airing three ormore tracks from the same CD or album inthe space of an hour. Often this rule is not aproblem for us; but occasionally there arevalid artistic reasons to program beyond theconstraint of the ruling. In order to be incompliance with the streaming rules thatwere established by SoundExchange and theCopyright Royalty Board, KPBX has takenthe position to turn off the live streamduring these times. When a producer, like myself, TinaBjorklund, or Bruce Davis, wishes to featurea singular artist, the choice has been madethat the streaming is sacrificed, not theprogram concept. In other words, weacknowledge that we are primarily a radiobroadcast station, and that if a conflictbetween good programming and the internetruling arises, we will go with our heart andprogramming instincts. To remain compliantwith the law, and to avoid fines, we willtemporarily cut the internet stream, andreturn it only when programming canremain within the ruling. There are many reasons to stream.Streaming allows listeners far outside ournormal broadcast area to “tune in” to ourprogramming. Others may stream fromwork. While we do not like to interupt thestream, Spokane Public Radio has no choicebut to comply with this law. We hope thatyou will remain supportive of your favoriteprograms despite occasional interruptions. If you have concerns about this ruling,please make your voice heard by contactingSoundExchange at (617) 423-4499.

The OriginalKings of ComedyTreat your kids and/or your sweetheartto an old-fashioned movie matinee asKPBX Kids’ Concerts presents the MarxBrothers in the 1930 hit comedy,Animal Crackers, at The Bing CrosbyTheater, on Saturday, April 10, at 1pm. Anarchy has rarely been so enjoyable.Many critics rank Animal Crackersas the funniest Marx Brothers movie.Based on the hit Broadway play byGeorge S. Kaufman and Morris Ryskind,Animal Crackers features GrouchoMarx as explorer Captain Spaulding,who is the guest of honor at a partyhosted by wealthy matron Mrs.

Rittenhouse (Margaret Dumont). The plot is a delightful excuse forGroucho, Chico, and Harpo to run amok, with Zeppo playing hiscustomary straight-man role. Director Victor Heerman acts as a bystanderas the brothers take over, treating film as an extension of vaudeville. Itfeatures a Harry Ruby score, including the song “Hooray for CaptainSpalding,” Groucho’s theme, “Hello, I Must Be Going,” and subsequentperformances by Harpo and Chico. Animal Crackers was a bigger success than its predecessor, TheCocoanuts, and it marked the true beginning of the Marx Brothers’successful film careers, establishing their unique blend of physical andverbal mayhem. The film is thought to have more memorable lines thanany other Marx Brothers’ movie. The most famous is Groucho’s, “Onemorning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, Idon’t know,” which is ranked the 53rd movie quote of all time by theAmerican Film Institute. Come see why Animal Crackers was both a critical and commercialsuccess upon initial release, and remains one of the Marx Brothers’ mostbeloved and often-quoted movies. The film’s running time is one hourand 40 minutes. Please feel free to leave before the movie ends.

Animal Crackers Trivia During a rehearsal, a test was made for a color movie processcalled Multicolor. The result was the first known footage of the MarxBrothers in color (although the film is shot in black and white).

After this film, the Brothers always thought of Margaret Dumontas “Mrs. Rittenhouse.”

Animal Crackers, along with five other Marx Brothers movies, isone of the American Film Institute’s Top 100 funniest movies.

Animal Crackers did not appear on television until 50 years afterits release. It ran on CBS in the summer of 1980.

The violin part of Harpo Marx’s duet was played by MischaMischakoff who was later concertmaster of the NBC Symphony.

For this film, Harpo Marx was supposed to be a red-head andwore a red wig, which showed up on screen as blond. This causedhim to go back to wearing a blond wig in future Marx Brothers movies.

Washington State2009-10 Immunization Information & ComplianceWashington State law requires that each child attending school be adequatelyimmunized according to a schedule determined by the Washington State Board ofHealth. Parents are asked to complete a Certificate of Immunization (CIS) whenthey register their child for school. Parents must provide the month, day, and yearfor the required immunizations. Registration and attendance are contingent uponeither adequate immunization or exemption from immunization.

DID YOU KNOW?According the Centers for

Disease Control andPrevention, 77% of U.S.

children are up-to-date onimmunizations, while 70% of

the adult population is not.

Vaccines are a routinepart of growing up and ofraising children. When wetravel to exotic lands, weinoculate ourselvesagainst bacteria-carryinginsects and tainted water.

But there’s a lot more to learn about vaccines than we routinely reador hear about from family doctors or newspapers. The 2010 SpokanePublic Radio Heath Forum, Immunization Insights, will examine thebenefits and risks of infant, adolescent, and adult vaccines and feature apanel of five health professionals who will answer questions and sharethe latest research.

Immunization: A Brief HistoryImmunization is recognized as one of the greatest public healthachievements of the twentieth century. The widespread use ofimmunization is responsible for dramatic reductions in, and in somecases, the elimination of, specific infectious diseases. Selectedimmunizations are directed at high-risk populations such as individualswith underlying immune system disorders, people with chronicunderlying medical conditions, and those with increased risk ofcontracting infections. In the United States and other wealthy nations,vaccines are used to control and prevent widespread infection andoutbreak. Vaccinations begin in infancy with a series of inoculations,continue as boosters through the teen years, then as needed with adultswho are in high risk groups due to immune and medical issues.

The success of universal immunization campaigns require high ratesof inoculation. Governments of richer countries set immunizationstandards for children, which are supported by family doctors andschools, that require documentation of immunization for enrollment.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in theUnited States, 77 percent of children ages 19-35 months have receivedall of their immunizations for diptheria, tetanus, pertussis (whoopingcough), polio, measles, mumps, rubella, Haemophilus influenzaetype b, and hepatitis b.

How a Vaccine WorksInfectious diseases are illnesses caused by some type ofmicroorganism like a bacteria, virus, fungus, or parasite that cancause severe illness, disability, or death. Natural immunity occurswhen a person is exposed to a disease causing organism. The bodylearns to recognize that particular organism, then producesantibodies (proteins) to fight the disease if encountered again.Vaccines can induce immunity to some disabling or life-threateningdiseases. A vaccine contains a killed or weakened form of thedisease-causing organism, and when injected into the body,stimulates the immune system to recognize and develop antibodiesto the “foreign” invader. The Centers for Disease Controland Prevention assert that the risks of vaccines are slight andrarely occur.

Adults and VaccinesImmunizations are a common part of health care for infants, children,and adolescents. Adults, however, are less likely to keep themselvesvaccinated. According to the National Network for ImmunizationInformation, fewer than 70 percent of adults in the U.S. are up-to-date on their boosters and suggested inoculations. The Centers forMedicare and Medicaid Services reports that annually, 50,000 adultsin the U.S. die from vaccine-preventable diseases.

According to the American Medical Association, adults shouldcontinue to immunize because: 1) they may not have received properimmunizations as children 2) new vaccines are sometimes introducedto the general population 3) over time, adults may lose some of theimmunity from childhood vaccines or illnesses, such as thechickenpox. The following vaccines are recommended for people 19and older: Tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis (Td/Tdap); HPV (Humanpapillomavirus); Varicella (chicken pox); Zoster (Herpes zoster,shingles); seasonal influenza; H1N1, and Pneumococcalpolysaccharide (PPSV). Several vaccines are recommended for specificadults in high risk groups: Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR); HepatitisA; Hepatitis B; and Meningococcal.

The Vaccine ControverseryIn the past decade, the issue of mass vaccination has been underscrutiny from some members in the medical community and parents ofautistic children and other deveopmental disorders who claim thatvaccine risks outway the benefits and may lead to issues in thedeveloping brains of children. A front page headline article in theAugust 3, 1999 USA Today brought the debate to the masses.The headline read “Now Parents Fear Shots,”and asked the question“Are vaccines safe for our kids?” The article pointed out that childrenborn today in the U.S. will get 21 shots before they reach the first

DID YOU KNOW?According to government

statistics, 50,000 adults in theU.S. die annually from vaccine-

preventable diseases.

-On February 16, 2010, NPR launched a new version of the NPR News app for Android™ enabled devices

that allows users access to more than one thousand live NPR station program streams. NPR will release

the open source code for the app on March 1 enabling NPR stations to iterate and improve upon the app.

Highlights of the NPR News app for Android™ include:

Live NPR station program streams. Users can connect to more than 1,000 on-air, HD, and on-demand streams from 600 NPR stations.

Social Networking. Users can share a story via email, SMS, or Facebook.

Backgrounding. Users can click to listen to audio and then toggle between applications as the audio is playing.

Listen and Read. Allows users to listen to programs and read news at the same time.

NPR Station Listening Choices. Easy to find and bookmark more than 600 NPR stations and hundreds of station on-demand streams.

Playlist. Bookmark favorite programs to play later.

Currently, iPhone users are able to stream both KPBX and KSFC from their devices by downloading the NPR News app from the iTunes

Store. The app for Android™ will make SPR available to hundreds more listeners, in the palm of their hands. Stay tuned.
