Tony Award winner Michael Mayer (American Idiot, Spring Awakening) is attached to direct the film that has a screenplay by Lynn Grossman. The screenplay will incorporate additional details from James Michener's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel "Tales of the South Pacific" on which the musical is based.
It is reported that Williams ("My Week with Marilyn," "Brokeback Mountain") has been approached to play naive midwestern nurse Forbush. Producers Bob Balaban, Ileen Maisel, Lawrence Elman and Denis Wigman may also be hoping to lure Tony Award winner Hugh Jackman and Grammy winner Justin Timberlake to portray Emile de Becque and Lieutenant Cable, respectively.
Lincoln Center Theater's 2008 Broadway revival earned the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical. Director Bartlett Sher was Tony-honored for his expansive staging, which anchored the material to Michener's novel in a new way.
The 2012 Australian engagement of the Tony-winning LCT production of South Pacific was filmed for future DVD release. A 2006 Carnegie Hall concert presentation, with Reba McEntire and Brian Stokes Mitchell, was also released on DVD.
South Pacific's score includes numerous American songbook classics, including "Some Enchanted Evening," "Wonderful Guy," "Younger Than Springtime," "Happy Talk," "Bali H'ai" and "There Is Nothing Like a Dame." South Pacific, starring Mary Martin and Ezio Pinza, won nine Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for its Broadway debut in 1949.

New-look Sunderland confident ahead of QPR match
The more condescending kind of Manchester United supporter, unaware of what was about to happen in the League Cup at MK Dons, saw the visit to Sunderland last weekend as one of their "easy" games.
United were fortunate to get away from the Stadium of Light with a point.
Perhaps the worst approach Gus Poyet's team could take to Saturday's match at Queens Park Rangers would be that this is, in turn, one of the "easy" games of Sunderland's season.
It did seem that way back in March 2013, b...

Designated Drivers Should Always Start
Driving Drunk Will Penalize Your Super Bowl Plans
Date of News Release: 02/01/2012
[Kentucky Stte Police, Dry Ridge] - The Super Bowl is America's most popular national sporting event. All across the country, millions of people gather to socialize and watch the big game. The U.S. Department of Transportation and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), with support from the National Football League (NFL) and Techniques for Effective Alcohol Management (TEAM) Coalition, have joined forces with local highway safety and law enforcement officials to spread an important safety message to the public about designating a sober driver on Super Bowl Sunday Fans Don't Let Fans Drive Drunk.
"This message is for everyone who will be drinking during the big game. Make the right play and pass your keys to a designated driver so they can get you home safely," said Trooper David Jones. "There is no excuse to get flagged for a false start. The men and women of the Kentucky State Police will be out to stop anyone who decides to drink and drive."
In 2010, alcohol-impaired-driving fatalities accounted for 31 percent of the total motor vehicle traffic fatalities in the United States.
Driving while impaired could result in a loss of your driver's license or even possibly the loss of your or someone else's life. On Super Bowl Sunday, make it a team effort to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe. If you plan on driving, plan not to drink alcohol.
If you are hosting a Super Bowl party:
- Make sure all of your guests designate their sober drivers before kick-off or help arrange ride-sharing with sober drivers.
- Find unique ways to recognize the designated drivers at your party
- Give them a great spot to watch the game.
- Whatever non-alcoholic beverage they are drinking, make sure their glass is always full.
- Let them have the first pass at the buffet table.
- Make sure their cars are easy to access when it is time to start driving people home.

Rivals' wins make it tight for Saints at the top of the Championship table
9:28am Wednesday 22nd February 2012 in Sport By Adam Leitch , Chief Sports Writer
SAINTS cannot afford to take their foot off the gas in their chase for Premier League promotion after their rivals turned up the pressure on them yet again.
Nigel Adkins, pictured, saw his side knocked back down to second place in the Championship last night as West Ham secured a thumping 4-1 win at Blackpool – and that despite having to play midfielder Henri Lansbury in goal for 35 minutes after Robert Green's second half sending off.
Blackpool's defeat was the only crumb of comfort that could be salvaged from the midweek results on a night where other results also intensified the heat on Saints ahead of their trip to Watford at the weekend.
Birmingham extended their unbeaten streak to 15 matches with a 3-1 win at Barnsley and Middlesbrough crept back into the automatic promotion places at Blackpool's expense after a 3-1 win at Millwall.
All but one of the teams around Saints have games in hand which means the table could look even tighter in a few weeks from now.

India Becomes 10th Largest Business Travel Market in the World
GBTA Foundation Issues First India BTI™ Outlook in New Semi-Annual Series
NEW DELHI and MUMBAI, India, June 5, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The GBTA Foundation, the education and research arm of the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) – announces the results of its first GBTA BTI™ Outlook – India report, a semi-annual business travel outlook and overall economic analysis of India. The report, sponsored by Visa Inc., includes the GBTA BTI™; an index of business travel spending that distills market performance over a period of time.
Key highlights of the report include:
"This forecast is a very positive sign for the potential of business travel growth in India in the years to come," said Welf Ebeling, GBTA Vice President, Operations for Asia Pacific. "The recent landslide victory of Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) party in India's May elections have renewed optimism for more pro-business reforms and accelerated infrastructure investment. Winning 282 or 543 parliamentary seats appears to have given Mr. Modi and the BJP a mandate to repeat this success across India. Even incremental success in these efforts should eventually spark greater economic and business travel growth."
"With business travel forecast to experience more growth to and from India, travel will play a vital role in helping grow the Indian economy," said Tad Fordyce, senior vice president, global commercial solutions, Visa. "Visa is committed to providing a secure, globally accepted payment option for business travelers in India and everywhere in the world."
Infrastructure Presents a Challenge to Continued Growth
India's insufficient infrastructure presents a significant impediment to sustainable growth. This includes not only physical infrastructure such as ports of entry and modes of transportation, but also urban infrastructure such as access roads, electricity, water supply and telecommunications. One particular challenge for business travel in India is that while the supply of hotel rooms is relatively large, there is a shortage of quality options, which are by and large expected by business travelers. This is beginning to shift, however, and development is taking place across a number of global chains that cater to business travelers.
The report is available exclusively to GBTA members by clicking here and non-members may purchase the report through the GBTA Foundation by emailing email@example.com.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Crimes of opportunity keep popping up around Louisville and Louisville Metro Police say if you work and play downtown you have to be careful to keep your belongings safe.
They're investigating more car break-ins and more thieves getting away with cash and credit cards. Police tell us the latest round happened near the KFC Yum! Center.
"When you present them the opportunity they're going to take advantage," said LMPD spokesperson Dwight Mitchell said of the thefts from cars.
Officers in LMPD's 1st Division want your help to track down two women seen with carts full of merchandise at area stores caught on surveillance cameras.
"They were apparently using stolen credit cards that were ascertained as a result of some car break-ins," Mitchell said, "They were in and around the KFC Yum! Center during a University of Louisville basketball game."
Police say it happened January 28, the night the Louisville Cardinals were taking on Pittsburgh.
According to police, the two women or someone they know were taking off with credit cards, cash and anything they could steal breaking into cars in nearby lots around First and Market Streets. They say the women started racking up charges at stores like Target. Another surveillance photo shows the car police believe the women were in a light gray or white Honda or Toyota.
It was after dark when the crimes took place, but Mitchell said in many cases of thefts from cars the doors are not locked and even when they are items like purses and wallets are left in plain view.
Police say they want people to enjoy themselves when they're headed to a concert or game at the KFC Yum! Center, but they warn you have to use common sense. They ask people to leave items like purses at home if you're not planning on taking them in or at least lock them in the trunk or in the glove compartment.
Anyone with information about the women in the photos is asked to call the police tipline at 574-LMPD (5673).

Top seed Aniek van Koot battled the conditions and a determined opponent to make it through to the semifinals of the women's wheelchair singles on Wednesday.
The 22-year-old Dutchwoman defeated South African wildcard Kgothatso Montjane 6-1 7-5, but was forced to tough it out in the latter half of the match.
"The winds were picking up in the second set and my opponent got a bit better as well, but the atmosphere was fantastic as usual. I love coming back here," she said.
Van Koot breezed through the first set, closing it out with a forehand winner down the line, and held firm in the second set to advance. She will now meet countrywoman Marjolein Buis, who toppled Jiske Griffioen 7-6(13) 6-4 in a one hour and 58 minute marathon.
Despite vocal hometown support from the stands, Australian wildcard Daniela Di Toro was ousted in three sets 2-6 6-4 6-4 by Great Britain's Lucy Shuker, while in the remaining quarterfinal, second seed Sabine Ellerbrock defeated Sharon Walraven in straight sets, 6-2 6-3.
On the men's side of the draw, defending champion Maikel Scheffers was eliminated by Japanese second seed Shingo Kunieda in three closely-fought sets 6-7(5) 6-1 6-3.
After claiming the wildcard playoff against fellow Australian Ben Weekes, world No.20 Adam Kellermann fell to experienced Swede Stefan Olsson.
With the 6-4 6-3 victory over Kellerman, Olsson will meet Kunieda for a place in the final.
The other semifinal will be contested by French world No.1 Stephane Houdet and Dutchman Robert Vink, who both made it through in straight sets.
The quads tournament, a round-robin event with four competitors in which the top two go through to the final, also began today with top seeds David Wagner and Andrew Lapthorne both getting their campaigns off to positive starts.
Looking to defending his Australian Open 2012 crown, Wagner defeated Swede Anders Hard 6-2 6-3.
The quad tournament features players that suffer from quadriplegia, with competitors using electronic-powered wheelchairs to move around the court.

Orientation Goes Green
Participants/Sponsors: ES Program and Campus Life
This year, Colby held its first Green Orientation, with the primary goal of educating new and returning students about Colby's sustainability initiatives and sustainable living on campus. COOT leaders and hall staff participated in "Green Colby 101" training and were encouraged to promote sustainable living among their first-year students. A Green Team of students was highly visible during first-year move-in day and throughout orientation week. Green Team members educated new students about Colby's commitment to sustainability and invited them to get involved with campus sustainability programs and organizations. . A Model Dorm Room was set up in the Fireside Lounge of Cotter Union throughout orientation week and through upper-class move-in day to demonstrate simple ways to live sustainably and to explore and share the environmental impacts of the typical Colby dorm room. Students were given the opportunity to sign a "Green Orientation Pledge" to consider the environmental impacts of their daily activities at Colby and beyond; over100 students signed. A "born-on dating" program promoted the long-term use of reusable water bottles rather than disposable ones and created an incentive system for keeping reusable bottles. The Green Team also assisted dining services with the composting of food waste at the COOT barbeque.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Strong winds whipped through the village Cloverdale Sunday, knocking down power lines, uprooting trees and leaving many residents in shock.
Driving through Putnam County, you can see trees down, windows blown straight out of homes, even car parts scattered across fields. There is no doubt Putnam County was hit hard by Sunday's storm, but the area hit hardest is Cloverdale. Residents say the clean-up is just beginning.
Neighbors have been working together to cut down tree limbs and clear debris in their yards. Two temporary shelters were set up overnight: one at parish hall, right next to St. Barbara's Church and the other at a nursing home in the village.
Jim Horseman has lived in Cloverdale for more than 30 years. He found minor damage to his home, but right down the road, a bathroom was thrown from a mobile home.
"It looked like Dooms Day, and I haven't even seen the worst yet, the worst is uptown," said Horseman.
About a mile and a half from Horseman's home is St. Barbara Catholic Church. The winds were so strong, the roof was blown off. The fire chief says only the front entrance is still standing at the church property, the structure has been leveled and it's a total loss. Parishioners, along with volunteers and firefighters, have been going through the rubble to try and salvage whatever they can, from foldable chairs and tables, to boxes of candles. But many things, like their beloved stained glass windows, can't be saved.
Many parishioners say one of the strangest - and possibly inspiring - things about the damage, is that Sunday's service was actually about destruction and chaos.
"It was kind of ironic as I was talking about the clutter in our lives, we have a lot of clutter here this morning. Jesus was right on on his prophecy about the destruction of the temple, but when it came to our prophecy about when a tornado is going to strike, or when a hurricane is going to strike, we can predict that one may be approaching, but we can't predict where or when its going to hit," said Father Jerry Schetter.
Schetter says the church does plan to rebuild in the same location where it has been since the 1980s. He believes disasters like this will only make them stronger.
According to the Red Cross, no one was injured at the church. The Red Cross says it is assisting 14 homes: 10 are destroyed, three incurred major damage, and one incurred minor damage. The mayor of Cloverdale says four families completely lost their homes and cars.
"Over half the structures in this village have major damage. We have approximately 60 households, and there are over 30 that are severely damaged," said Mayor Judd Spencer.
The Red Cross has opened a shelter at Oak Haven Residential Center, located at 125 Main Street in Cloverdale, where it is providing meals on site and on the go in Cloverdale and Dupont through its Emergency Response Vehicle.
Emergency officials say power will be out in the entire village for six to eight days.
Fire officials there say keeping the power off is actually by choice. As clean up continues, the biggest problem is downed power lines. If they
were live, they would present a serious safety issue for residents and anyone
else driving through the area.
Firefighters say there's no telling when electric crews will make it out to
the area, with so many other communities without power across the state,
that's why they need the lines to stay off for now.
"Yes, until the power company gets the line back up and hooked up and
running, because there are just lines down everywhere - along state route 114,
the incoming lines and a lot of power lines in town are torn down," said Chief Dan Honigford, of the Ottoville Fire Department.
Many residents say they're staying with family outside of the area if
possible. The Red Cross is set up at the parish hall on Main Street for those who
need shelter.

A £17M scheme to alleviate floods in Banbury has been completed.
The scheme will reduce the flood risk to more than 500 properties in the Banbury area, including the railway station and Banbury United Football Club.
The town was hit by severe floods in 1998, affecting 160 homes and businesses, and again in July 2007, when the River Cherwell burst its banks.
The Environment Agency has been working on a comprehensive scheme to protect properties.

Philippines' Secretary of Health Enrique Ona chose not to address the Philippines' growing HIV epidemic for a grueling amount of time. Living in a country where HIV/AIDS is not part of the national conversation convinced Niccolo Cosme, a gay, 31-year-old Filipino artist and activist based in Manila, to bring HIV to the government rather than wait for the slow-moving machine to react.
Dressed as a physical representation of HIV -- complete with a red body suit and pseudo-reptilian spiky skin -- Cosme confronted Ona in the middle of a United Nations event held in the Philippines' most public arena, the Mall of Asia. For Cosme, it was a visceral, visual message: The Filipino government needs to come face-to-face with HIV, just as the rest of the population has had to do.
"As an activist, [actions like this] are things, I think, that would amplify the urgency to do something about this problem," Cosme says. "I was being escorted out. But I was lucky, because I was the featured artist in that exhibition [that day]. So I was able to challenge their people. I had to tell them, 'You can't kick me out. I'm the artist. I'm here.'"
Cosme is just one of a thriving number of driven Filipino activists hoping to spur the government to act on the HIV/AIDS crisis in the Philippines. According to UNAIDS, the Philippines is one of the seven countries in the world where the HIV rate is rising, making the World AIDS Day theme of "getting to zero," in terms of new infections, a daunting challenge.

Bradley Wiggins wins Tour de France
4:26pm Sunday 22nd July 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
Bradley Wiggins made history today as he became the first British man to win the Tour de France.
The 32-year-old punched his arms in the air and clapped as he crossed the finish line on Paris's Champs-Elysees.
Fellow Brit Mark Cavendish won the final stage of the race into Paris.
Wiggins' feat is expected to make him remembered as one of Britain's greatest ever sportsmen.
The final stage was the 13th consecutive day that he had worn the race leader's yellow jersey in the 99th edition of the gruelling 20 stage, 3,497 kilometre (2,173-mile) race.
He completed the day three minutes and 21 seconds ahead of Team Sky colleague Chris Froome, who becomes the second Briton on the podium in the history of the race.
There were jubilant scenes as British fans who have travelled to Paris celebrated the result.
Wiggins told ITV: "Job done really. I don't know what to say really.
"I've had 24 hours for it to sort of soak in. Today we were just on a mission to finish the job off.
"This sort of thing happens to other people, you never imagine it happens to you. It's incredible."

Birmingham police have arrested and charged a driver in a double fatal vehicle accident with two counts of manslaughter.
Brandon Levoy Davis, 21 of Birmingham, is being held on a $30,000 bond. He is charged in the weekend accident that killed Kayla Nicole Jackson, 21 of Birmingham and her young son, Zion Milik Jackson, 3. Davis was the fiance and father to Kayla and Zion.
The accident occurred Jan. 6 at Jefferson Avenue and 24th Street Southwest. The truck the three were riding in impacted the bridge there so hard that the structure sustained damage. Authorities say that excessive speed is a factor in the accident.
Jeanne Jackson Smith, Kayla's aunt, says she's hurt to learn what Davis is charged with in the accident.
"This is senseless. There is no reason why my niece and nephew should not be standing in this room with us today," Smith said. "To even put your child and another human beig in danger like that."
Smith and Kayla's sister Louvenia are happy Davis was charged. and they're not surprisedhe's accused of such a thing. They say they never approved of the couple's relationship.
"I think the crime deserves the punishment at this point in the investigation, I believe justice will be served," Smith said.
Still, the family is left with grief and anger as they prepare to bury a young mother and her son.
"Not that I want anyone to die but why did he live and they had to go...he has to live with this ...think about what he done. Him getting life I'd be happy with that," Smith said.

Four former Burlington Bees will represent the Wilmington Blue Rocks in the Carolina League All-Star Game.
David Lough will start in the outfield while Mike Moustakas is a reserve infielder.
Pitchers Danny Duffy and Everett Teaford were selected as reserves for the Carolina team.
Teaford, though, was promoted to the Double-A Northwest Arkansas Naturals last Thursday.The left-hander spent two seasons in Wilmington, and was twice named to the Carolina League All-Star team. He leaves the Riverfront with a 15-7 record and a 3.37 ERA in his career as a Blue Rock.
Off the field, Teaford was one of the most community-friendly players in franchise history. In 2008 he won the Carolina League's inaugural Matt Minker Award, which goes to the player who best exemplifies the former Wilmington owner's benevolence for the city and her people.
As lady luck would have it, the Blue Rocks were already set to honor the pitcher by giving the first 1,000 fans in attendance on July 28 an Everett Teaford bobblehead.
The Carolina All-Stars will match up against their California League counterparts on June 23 at The Diamond in Lake Elsinore, Calif.

Town Square
Neighbor's Pine Tree
Original post made by pTownLover on May 29, 2012
Can I cut the branches that are hanging to our side without telling the neighbor?
on May 29, 2012 at 2:03 pm
Here's one site: Web Link Better to work with the neighbor, even if you have to cover the cost of a tree trimmer?
on May 29, 2012 at 2:15 pm
If you harm the tree in any way the neighbor can sue. My cousin in another county paid $3,000 for an arborist to prepare a legal document stating that his neighbor harmed a tree with aggressive pruning. Went to court, tree trimming neighbor was stuck with all costs, including tens of thousands of dollars in damages for loss of property value.
You harm that tree, you will be sorry. FYI, I agree that the tree should be trimmed, just don't do it without working with the neighbor. And if that tree is a "heritage tree" (look that up on the city website) the fine can be thousands of dollars to the city just to touch the tree.
on May 29, 2012 at 5:07 pm
Talk to the city first to make sure it's not a Heritage Tree.

Members of the Madison Murder Ink book club professed some big ideas for changes at the Madison City Public Library, make it bigger.
"The population here has grown so much and the population is the kind of people who use libraries," exclaimed Murder Ink member Joyce Mastin. "It's become such a valuable asset but it needs to be enlarged. There are so many things that we liked to do at the library, things we'd like to expand at the library.
The city is currently refining plans for a roughly $4.5 million expansion of the library and this week it has been soliciting public input on what a public library should look like in the age of websites, tablets and smart phones where people turn for information.
Toni Garvey, Director of the Phoenix Public Library and a library consultant, has been helping the city craft a plan for the library expansion and found support for the library surprisingly strong. 85% of the people here have a library card," she said. "And they have an active library card. So that means they're using their library on a regular basis. This is one of the most well used libraries that I have seen, looking across the country."
In asking for input, Garvey observed the common desire for a centralized community space where people can get together to seek information as in the classical library, but also to find art, music and entertainment in a versatile facility flexible enough to handle the many changes that constantly come in the libraries of the 21st century.
"We have collections and what's in those collections changes, a lot," she observed. "From year to year, decade to decade. So, we'll have some materials. We know what we have now but we don't know exactly what we'll have in 10 or 20 years."
"You know, you can Google anything," pointed out library branch manager Sarah Sledge, "but you may not be getting good authoritative information. The library is a place that can help the public connect with that information."
Mastin and fellow book club members called for a little love for their community. "We'd like to have a book club room," she said. "It doesn't have to be specifically dedicated to the book club but someplace…"
"That we don't have to share with the children and their glue and their paste and a few other things," a friend chimed in.
"But we like the idea of having a nice comfortable room where we can sit," Mastin finished.
"The library is more vital and crucial to our community and to our society today than it ever has been," said Sledge. "People are able to access information from so many different places and so many different formats in today's world that they need one centralized comprehensive place that they can come."
The city plans to engage an architect to design a library expansion after a thorough analysis of the community's needs and desires for the library, possibly early in the new year.

G W Fins
808 Bienville St
New Orleans, LA 70112
Napoleon's Rating: ****/*****
The entrée menu at GW Fins changes up as frequently as the chef's seafood connections bring in a new catch, but the appetizers have evolved into a more stable list of house favorites. This restaurant must go through a staggering amount of lobster, because it seems every other table orders the fried lobster tail, which proved such a hit as a sandwich when served at the annual Po-Boy Festival. Lobster also goes into delicate dumplings in a lobster butter sauce. Blue crab pot stickers follow a similar Louisiana-seafood-goes-Asian theme, and are also highly recommended. My favorite is an order of a half-dozen smoked oysters, which arrived sizzling in butter in their shells.
It's hard to know just what fish will turn up on the GW Fins menu from night to night, but that's part of the appeal of the place. Anyway, it's hard to make a poor choice. This is a highly consistent kitchen. You might find something as familiar as redfish, but then it's crusted with pumpkin seeds with sage brown butter. The same menu might also feature John Dory, that buttery, delicate fish we rarely see at local restaurants. Salmon, tuna and scallops might be common enough seafood menu fare, and here they're vividly fresh, done to a turn and often joined by imaginative presentations. Whole fish is another specialty, and whenever Gulf pompano or Mediterranean bronzini appear on the menu these are reliably great. There is always steak on the menu, and a pork chop and grilled chicken, though clearly these items are there for those averse to seafood who somehow wind up in this dedicated seafood house.
The dessert list is short and pretty straightforward. The go-to item is the apple pie, which is like an oversized turnover for two. The crust is delicious, with a subtle twist from cheddar cheese melted in.
The GW Fins bar will mix a proper cocktail, though wine is really the better accompaniment to seafood of this caliber and the list here is impressive. There is plenty of range, and you can get very good bottles for under $40. The by-the-glass selection is extensive also.
This will be an expensive dinner, with most entrees up in the high-$20s. Two people will easily spend $140 here with wine or drinks. It certainly seems justified for the quality of the cuisine and overall experience. The restaurant periodically runs three-course specials that are great bargains.
One measure of just how deep our city's inventory of great restaurants runs is the way some very fine examples keep a relatively low profile. That's the case at GW Fins, a swank, contemporary seafood restaurant serving an exciting, high-caliber cuisine that still seems like a surprise and a find on each visit, especially given its proximity to the loud end of Bourbon Street. In fact, I think it's one of the best high-end places for seafood in New Orleans.

District Winners to Compete in Austin at the National Student Advertising Competition
Washington, DC – Over a thousand advertising students across the country are providing Nissan with fresh insights and innovative ideas on how to market to multicultural millennials through the American Advertising Federation's National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC).
After completing a series of district competitions, only 19 out of 153 teams will now advance to the national competition held at ADMERICA! AAF National Conference in Austin, TX from June 2-5, 2012.
AAF President and CEO, James Edmund Datri said, "This is truly exciting stuff. Tapping into the mindset of the millennial market is a top priority for many companies these days and the NSAC is a unique solution to overcoming this challenge. AAF is extremely proud of the hard work all of our college chapter members have put forth and commend them for their high degree of dedication to this project."
This year's students were tasked with the challenge of developing a fully integrated marketing campaign to help Nissan build awareness and lasting favorability among African-Americans, Hispanic, and Chinese millennial consumers in the United States.
"Innovation is at the heart of Nissan products and services," said Jon Brancheau, Vice President, Marketing, Nissan North America, "so we were happy to invite students across the country to offer us their own creative ideas and solutions as part of the National Student Advertising Competition. These students embraced the opportunity to explore how to market the Nissan brand and our products among young, multicultural consumers. Many of the insights and proposals they developed will no doubt influence our future marketing campaigns."
Students who participate in this program invest anywhere from one to nine months of time preparing these plans books and presentations. In some instances, students interview for a position on their college chapter's NSAC team.
The finalists of the 2012 NSAC national competition are:
"The NSAC is a serious competition among students who are passionate about their work," Brancheau continued, "which is why it is always difficult to choose one winning team from among so many solid entries. I commend all of the teams for their thorough research, professional presentations and smart ideas. This competition provided high-quality content for Nissan, and more importantly, an invaluable educational experience for every student participant. This is a great program, and Nissan is proud to be a part of it."

HAVERHILL, Mass. — A 38-year-old man has been charged with multiple offenses after he allegedly took a photo under the skirt of a 7-year-old girl in a supermarket.
Stephen Hager of Haverhill, Mass., is charged with attempted indecent assault and battery on a person under 14, attempted posing of a child for a sexual act and attempted photographing or electronic surveilling of a partially nude person.
Haverhill Police Lt. Robert Pistone said the arrest was made after investigators received several tips from the public about the man's identity, thanks to video and photos from a supermarket surveillance camera that police released this week.
The video showed a man crouching down near the girl and appearing to hold his cell phone beneath her skirt.
The girl's mother told police she became suspicious when a man began following her and her daughter around the grocery store. After a while, she thought he was gone, so she continued shopping, she said.
A short time later, the woman and her daughter were looking at products in one of the store's aisles, unaware the man had returned and was standing a few feet behind them, according to a police report. The man appeared to be waiting in a "stalking mode," the police said. The woman said she grabbed her daughter and pulled her close.
The woman said she asked the man if he had touched her daughter, and he responded by saying he was sorry — and then walked off.
Hager is being held on $10,000 cash bail. If he posts bail, Hager will be under house arrest via electronic monitoring and must stay away from children and computers, a judge ordered.
Mike LaBella and Bill Cantwell are reporters for The Eagle-Tribune in North Andover, Mass.

GOSHEN - Holly Williams set out on the road that led to "The Highway" in January 2012.
That's when work commenced on the album Williams self-financed and released independently. "Highway" followed her major label releases "The Ones We Never Knew" (2004, Universal South) and "Here With Me" (2009, Mercury Records).
"I wanted to do it on my own label this time," Williams said in a recent phone interview with The Goshen News. "I'm really not the artist who hates majors. I know there's a lot of those. But for me it felt like the only focus (had been) about a country radio single. I don't really consider myself a country singer anyway."
"I'm not against it," she continued. "... My grandfather always said, 'I don't know what you mean by country. I just write songs the way I know how.' And that's kind of how I feel. These are my songs. I don't know — people call it singer-songwriter, folk, Americana, somewhere in there."
Williams isn't tethered to labels, either record company-wise or in terms of genre. And her grandfather's words are worth noting, given the source. Holly Williams is the granddaughter of Hank Williams, and the daughter of Hank Jr.
As for her songs, they will be showcased in downtown Goshen Saturday night when she performs at Ignition Garage, 120 E. Washington St.
When Williams embarked on "The Highway" — the biggest seller of her career thus far — she had traveling companions. Among them was co-producer Charlie Peacock, who'd worked with The Civil Wars.
"I was a huge, huge fan of The Civil Wars' album," Williams said. "I just think Charlie Peacock did such a great job with really making it about the song and lyrics and emotion and not tons of instruments just for the sake of having instruments, really."
"The Highway" also includes Williams' multi-instrumentalist husband Chris Coleman, and high-profile talent including Dierks Bentley, Jakob Dylan, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jackson Browne.
Browne especially is a good fit. "The Highway" sits comfortably on the "If you like this, you might like..." sonic shelf alongside Browne's early '70s debut.
"I love Dierks and Gwyneth and Jakob — they're all friends of mine," Williams said. "But Jackson is on a hero level." Williams added that she didn't know Browne before he sat in on the album.
"I could not thank him enough for coming in," she said. "There were definitely a few moments when I'm sitting there and he's like, 'OK, let's read these lyrics.' And he picks up my lyrics and I'm dying going, 'Oh, my gosh, Jackson Browne is reading my lyrics.'"
Browne is supportive of new artists and he was of her lyrics, Williams indicated. She said Browne told her he was touched by the content of "Gone Away from Me," the "Highway" track on which he's a guest.
Thematically, "The Highway" includes takes on family, love, loss and too much to drink. The album is bookended by two of its most affecting tracks, "Drinkin'" (harrowing) and "Waiting on June" (devotional).
The opening line to the opening tune ("Why are you drinkin' like the night is young?") was written years ago for a friend struggling with alcohol use, Williams said. "Drinkin'" is a story Williams said she saw happening around her in small country towns.
As for "Waiting on June," Williams describes it as the most personal song she's ever written, and probably the one of which she's most proud. "June" is a life story of a love, a musical timeline of a couple stretching from childhood to raising a family to old age and death.
Williams drew on material close to home.
"I was very, very close to my mom's parents," she said. "And that's one side of the family that obviously doesn't get focused on much because of Hank Williams."
Williams didn't know Hank Sr., who died in 1952. Not so her mom's parents. Williams recalled spending time with them at their Louisiana farm. They left a mark on her.
One day, Williams said, she was washing dishes and the song came "pouring out of the blue" to her. She rushed to grab a guitar and write it.
"It sounds crazy, but I pray for songs, and feel like God just kind of drops them into my lap," Williams said. "And there it was. So it means the world to me, that song."

The case against four former Vanderbilt University football players charged with raping a student on campus this summer has been continued until next month.
Brandon Vandenburg, Jaborian "Tip" McKenzie, Brandon Banks and Cory Batey were scheduled to appear in court next Thursday, September 19.

The men are charged with raping an unconscious 21-year-old female student in the Gillette House dormitory on June 23.
All are free on bond.
Their former teammate, wide receiver Chris Boyd, is also charged in connection to the case after police said he helped cover up the crime.
He will appear in a Davidson County courtroom Friday. Boyd is suspended from the football team but has not been dismissed.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Bella mia fiamma, addio
(singer: Cecilia Bartoli)
Josepha Duschek was an outstanding soprano singer of the Classical era. She was a friend of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who wrote a number of works for her to sing.
During the 1787 visit, Mozart wrote the concert aria "Bella mia fiamma, addio," K. 528 (it is dated 3 November 1787). The composition of this aria was somewhat unusual; the following tale is attributed to Mozart's son Karl Thomas:
Petranka is well-known as the villa in which Mozart enjoyed staying with his musician friends, the Duscheks, during his visit to Prague, and where he composed several numbers for his "Don Juan" (Don Giovanni). On the summit of a hill near the villa stands a pavilion. In it, one day, Frau Duschek slyly imprisoned the great Mozart, after having provided ink, pen, and notepaper, and told him that he was not to regain his freedom until he had written an aria he had promised her to the words bella mia fiamma addio. Mozart submitted himself to the necessary; but to avenge himself for the trick Frau Duschek had played on him, he used various difficult-to-sing passages in the aria, and threatened his despotic friend that he would immediately destroy the aria if she could not succeed in performing it at sight without mistakes.
Bernard Wilson, commenting on the story, adds:
There seems to be some corroboration of this account in the aria itself. The words Quest' affano, questo passo è terribile per me are set to an awesome tangle of chromatic sequences artfully calculated to test the singer's sense of intonation and powers of interpretation. Apparently Mme. Duschek survived the passo terribile, since the autograph bears her name in Mozart's hand.
In 1789 Duschek sang the work along with other arias at concerts given by Mozart in Dresden and Leipzig, during his German tour of that year.
John Adams - Chorus of Exiled Palestinians
My father's house was razed
In nineteen forty-eight
When the Israelis passed
Over our street.
The house was built of stone
With a courtyard inside
Where on a hot day one
Could sit in shade
Under a tree, and have
A glass of something cool.
Coolness rose like a wave
From our pure well.
No-one was turned away...
No-one was turned away - except for the [American born] composer of this piece,
who is singled out for 'special' treatment when trying to re-enter his home country.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Piano Concerto No. 9 "Jeunehomme" 2nd movement: Andantino
The Piano Concerto No. 9 "Jeunehomme" in E flat major (K. 271) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was written in Salzburg in 1777, when Mozart was 21 years old.
The work has long been known as the "Jeunehomme" Concerto. It was said that Mozart wrote the piece for a French pianist "Jeunehomme" when she visited Salzburg. But scholars couldn't identify the woman for whom he actually wrote it. Recently, the musicologist Michael Lorenz has argued that the woman was actually Victoire Jenamy (1749 - 1812), a daughter of Jean-Georges Noverre, a famous dancer who was one of Mozart's best friends.
The work is scored for solo piano, two oboes, two horns, and strings.
It consists of three movements:
1. Allegro.
2. Andantino.
3. Rondo (Presto).
The first movement opens, unusually for the time, with interventions by the soloist, anticipating Beethoven's Fourth and Fifth Concertos. As Girdlestone (1964) notes, its departures from convention do not end with this early solo entrance, but continue in the style of dialogue between piano and orchestra in the rest of the movement. Mozart wrote two cadenzas for this movement.
The second movement is written in a minor key. In only five of Mozart's piano concertos is the second movement in a minor key (K. 41, K. 271, K. 456, K. 482, and K. 488. K. 41 is an arrangement). Mozart wrote two cadenzas for this movement.
The third movement which opens with the solo piano is in a rondo form on a large scale. It is interrupted, surprisingly, by a slow minuet section (a procedure Mozart would repeat with his 22nd concerto, 1785). The work ends in the original tempo.

Ludwig van Beethoven - Piano Sonata No. 23 in F minor, Op 57 (Appassionata)
(played by Myra Hess, 1945)
During the war years, and the blitz, Dame Myra Hess organized over a thousand concerts at the National Gallery. The Gallery had removed all their paintings, keeping just one on display each month as thousands of folks (many not regular concert goers) came to hear, be inspired, and maybe gain a little hope by these wartime concerts.
Andrew ****son wrote in his blog at the "Guardian": "the monumental Appassionata - always associated in my mind with a wartime film of Myra Hess at the National Gallery, playing those crashing F minor chords at with a stubborn intensity that takes on all the death and mayhem around."

By ROBIN CAUDELL
---- — PLATTSBURGH — Don Papson loves butternut squash, and this year, by chance, he has gargantuan ones to adore.
"It's my favorite squash," said Papson, who lives with his wife, Vivian, in Plattsburgh.
"We eat a lot of butternut squash in the wintertime. This amazing plant grew out of the compost. I had one several years ago that did very well and this year, I just let this one go. It is like 'Jack and the Beanstalk.' It's just unbelievable."
He dubs 2013 the Year of the Squash.
"Every year is different," he said. "One year it's the Year of the Tomato. We haven't a Year of the Squash for about four years. It's just an amazing plant. It's a marvel. The leaves are 15 inches across. They (squash) are huge. They're way bigger than you find in the store."
Papson is a retired educator, historian, founder and former director of the North Country Underground Railroad Historical Association, which operates the North Star Museum at Ausable Chasm.
In his native California, he was raised on a farm.
"My father had a garden. One year, he had an amazing garden. He had tomatoes that he staked up, and they were two times as high as a person. They were just huge. I grew flowers. When I lived in Chicago, I started growing food on vacant lots. And the problem with that was people would steal the food."
With three friends, he purchased a six-flat building.
"There was a vacant lot next door where there had been an apartment building. There had been a lot of arson for profit so that building had been intentionally burned down for insurance. I started growing food on the lot. One day a guy came down the alley and said, 'You can't grow anything in there.' But I did it anyway."
He kept expanding the vacant-lot garden.
"The people were coming in there and stealing. So after Vivian and I got married, we sold our share and my partners bought that lot. One of the reasons we moved to the North Country, I wanted to get back to my roots and have another garden."
At their first home in Schuyler Falls, there was an old garden with an asparagus patch.
"I love groundhogs. There was a groundhog that was getting my food. I put a fence around the garden. The groundhog was getting in. So, I took chicken wire and put around the base of my fence, and it was sneaking between the two wires and still getting in. Then, I tightened up the chicken wire around the base of the fence, and it was pushing the gate open."
Papson knew where the mammal's holes were and stood before one and said, "Why are you doing this? You have seven acres here. You can eat all this grass out here. Why are you doing this?"
Wild-foods naturalist Linda Runyon related a similar story to Papson.
"She had a garden once. She could actually see the plants being pulled into the earth by a groundhog that had tunneled beneath her garden. We've had a groundhog this year, too. It's been under our porch. The nice thing about squashes, they don't eat squash but they eat the other food."
The Papsons' greens were a tasty treat to the groundhogs.
"So, they've eaten our kale, beet tops and our collards but they don't like Chinese greens so we got those, and they don't like butternut squash."
Vivian steams the squash and seasons with a little butter.
"You can make soup out of, too," he said. "She has a very good recipe for butternut-squash soup."
After he harvests the squash, Papson will put it away in a crawl space.
"And, I will give some of it away, too. I haven't been able to garden much because of the museum. I decided this year since I retired from the board; I was going to do better with the garden. So, I expanded it a little bit. Vivian had been after me to grow more food because the cost of it is so high."
One day she came home with an $8 butternut squash.
"This is like a gift. What I learned, if all my garden beds were as rich as that compost heap, what a garden I would have. It's really a lesson in enriching my soil. Every year, I kind of hope that a squash plant will come up out of the compost."
He doesn't turn his compost but lets it decompose naturally.
"These seeds didn't decompose, so they must be super seeds. So, I'm going to save some of them and plant them next year. My other squash plants haven't done anything, the ones I actually planted. They have produced very little."
He planted butternut seeds and they didn't germinate.
"The environment was just perfect in the compost," Papson said. "I had this fence I planted with morning glory to camouflage the compost heap, and the squash has taken it over."

Vivian's Savory Butternut Squash Soup
1. Pour the olive oil into a large soup pot and saute the onions and garlic over low heat for three to five minutes. Turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the onion-garlic mixture steam for 15 minutes.
2. Sir in the squash, potato and carrot and mix well. Pour the stock and bring the soup to boil. Reduce heat, cover pot and simmer for additional 15 minutes.
3. Add salt, pepper and cilantro. Stir well. Cover pot and simmer for additional 15 minutes.
4. Blend one third of soup at at time in blender or food processor and place in clean pot. Reheat soup over low heat. Do not let it come to a boil. Serve hot. Garnish with thyme leaves.

A damning recap of Brandon Jennings year in Italy
In short: It was a bad year for him playing with and against established players. As this author puts it, his season highs were not as high as advertised and came in mostly irrelevant games, and when it mattered and better players were healthy he barely played. I don't agree in all points, e.g. he neglects to mention skills Jennings improved by all accounts, due to good (assistant) coaches in Rome tutoring him. And I would side with Jennings that part of it was he and his agent just picked the wrong team stacked with more experienced guards. But it's definitely worth a read of a contrarian opinion for all fans of his game and potential. Especially regarding a player who accuses other players to be "all hype".
