For Mrs. Bertha Landis, one of the best things about a "Singing Stream: A Black Family Chronicle" is the film's title. It came from her comments. "I taught them how to sing--my boys," she said. "My father was a music teacher, and he had a brother that taught music, and my mother had two brothers who taught music. So that's why it's called singing stream--it comes from a long way." The hour long documentary showcases the musical and cultural traditions of one southern black family. Through interviews and scenes from daily routines, family reunions, gospel concerts and church services, the film chronicles the history of the Creedmoor, North Carolina Landis family, as it happened during the lifetime of the family's matriarch and oldest surviving member. "A Singing Stream" documents how Mrs. Landis used her family's musical gifts, along with a deep religious faith and strong cultural traditions, to unite, discipline and motivate her children, equipping them to rise above barriers faced by blacks in the south during the last half-century. Musical performances in the film span nearly a century of black religious song styles, from unaccompanied shape-note singing to contemporary gospel. "A Singing Stream" features rehearsals and concerts by the golden echoes, a male gospel quartet that includes three Landis men, and the Echoes Of Heaven, a female quartet also made up of family members.

Communities across the country, and the world, are trying to attract companies to invest and create jobs. Economic development is a critical component that drives economic growth in our economy, creating high wage jobs and facilitating an improved quality of life. State and local governments routinely offer companies billions of dollars in fiscal incentives, including cash grants, rebates, and tax credits, to entice them to relocate, expand, or stay in a specific locality. In the United States, based on the most recent figures, the estimated total annual value of fiscal incentives is around $90 billion. How can governments maximize the return on investment for attracting businesses in an era in which state and local revenues are declining, expenditures are increasing, and capital investments are more difficult to acquire?

Sitting on an asteroid, more than a 100 million miles away from Earth, are a few ounces of soil scientists are anxiously awaiting to get their hands on - a sample that just might contain the molecular precursors to the origin of life. But just how will these scientists accomplish this? The half-hour documentary OSIRIS-REX: COUNTDOWN TO LAUNCH follows a multi-generational team of scientists and engineers as they struggle to design, construct, and deliver on time the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft and its components to NASA in anticipation of its September 2016 launch from Cape Canaveral. OSIRIS-REx is expected to travel more than 400 million miles to rendezvous with an asteroid named Bennu, whose diameter is less than half a mile. It will then use its suite of instruments to find the perfect place to gather a sample from the asteroid's surface, traveling another 400 million miles and a total of six years to bring that sample back to Earth. NASA's OSIRIS-REx Asteroid Sample Return Mission is a 14-year, one billion dollar study aimed at learning more about one of the most fascinating and potentially hazardous asteroids in the solar system - before it potentially collides with Earth more than 150 years from now.
