LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - There have been two-time Triple Crown champions and other close calls, but no horse quite like Big Red.
There's currently a showcase about the greatest athlete in thoroughbred racing: Secretariat. The new exhibit is on display giving Kentucky Derby Museum visitors a glimpse into the 1973 Triple Crown sweep.
Forty years later, the museum has opened an exhibit marking four decades since the historic Derby win.
Walt Disney Pictures captured the historic horse in a 2010 film. Currently, rare artifacts from Secretariat's era and movie props are out for all to see.
"Secretariat memorabilia are some of the most collectible items in the racing industry. We're very excited to be able to share a winning ticket, Meadow Stable silks and a tack box used in grooming," said Wendy Treinen, the museum's director of communications.
Secretariat became a racing legend and won the Derby by 2 1/2 lengths in a world-record time of 1:59 2/5.
Secretariat became so popular, Time, Newsweek and Sports Illustrated featured the horse on the cover the same week. The William Morris Agency booked his appearances the way it would for a hot movie star. At the time, no movie star was as hot as "Big Red."
"We have the opportunity to connect that to history with some real items and a little bit about the story and root Secretariat in that proper era," Treinen said.
Owner Penny Chenery loaned her personal collection so visitors can get up close and personal.
"Penny has kept her collections very close to her and in pristine shape. We're really proud to display items of such fine quality," Treinen said.
There's also a harness, blinkers and trophy replica that were all featured in the Disney film.
"We really want the race fans to recognize that we celebrate Secretariat's historic wins every day of the year."
The exhibit will stay up well after Derby and is included in the $14 general admission price.

Introducing Brazil
One of the world's most captivating places, Brazil is South America's giant, a dazzling country of powdery white-sand beaches, pristine rain forests and wild, rhythm-filled metropolises. Brazil's attractions extend from enchanting, frozen-in-time colonial towns to dramatic landscapes of red-rock canyons, thundering waterfalls and idyllic tropical islands. Add to that, Brazil's biodiversity: legendary in scope, its diverse ecosystems boast the greatest collection of plant and animal species found anywhere on earth.
Brazil offers big adventures for travellers with budgets large and small. There's horseback riding in the Pantanal, kayaking flooded forests in the Amazon, ascending rocky cliff tops to breathtaking views, whale-watching off the coast, surfing stellar breaks off palm-fringed beaches and snorkelling crystal-clear rivers or coastal reefs – all part of the great Brazilian experience.
No less entrancing is the prospect of doing nothing, aside from sinking into warm sands and soaking up a glorious stretch of beach, caipirinha – Brazil's national cocktail – in hand.
Brazil's most famous celebration, Carnaval, storms though the country's cities and towns with hip-shaking samba and frevo, dazzling costumes and carefree joie de vivre, but Brazilians hardly regulate their passion for revelry to a few weeks of the year. Wherever there's music, that carefree lust for life tends to appear – whether dancing with Cariocas at Rio's atmospheric samba clubs or following powerful drumbeats through the streets of Salvador. There's the dancehall forró of the Northeast, twirling carimbó of the Amazon, scratch-skilled DJs of São Paulo and an endless variety of regional sounds that extends from the back-country sertanejo to reggae-loving Maranhão.
With so much going for them, it's no wonder that Brazilians say 'Deus e Brasileiro' (God is Brazilian). How else to explain the treasure chest of natural and cultural riches sprinkled all across the country?

Old School 'Photoshop' Techniques That Still Apply: Touching Up Celluloid Stills Circa 1946
Just as digital acquisition hasn't rendered the light meter obsolete, nor NLE software altered what makes a well-paced scene — digital retouching plays by a lot of the same rules now as it always has. Recently, CreativePro dug up the fantastic-looking book Short Cuts to Photo Retouching, written by photographer Raymond Wardell in 1946. Wardell walks the reader through many techniques that will be familiar to Photoshop users — except he's quite literally making his artistic alterations onto actual, physical film prints. Despite (or because of) this, the results are downright impressive — especially given the lack of a real-life 'undo' command. Click through to check out a few scans from this old gem, from which we can still learn plenty. More »

It may mark the unofficial end of summer, but the official national holiday of Labor Day has its roots in workers' rights.
More than 100 years after the first observance of Labor Day, it is still not clear who exactly proposed the holiday, but the measure was sanctioned begrudgingly amid a period of labor unrest.
The first Labor Day was celebrated on Tuesday, Sept. 5, 1882. During that time, as longer work hours and pay cuts were imposed, laborers began protecting themselves by unionizing.
The holiday was recognized in 1882 by the Central Labor Union in New York City. The Central Labor Union adopted a Labor Day proposal consisting of a demonstration and a picnic, according to literature from the Department of Labor.
By 1884, 23 other states adopted the holiday. On June 28, 1984, Congress passed an act.
In 1893, the Pullman company, a railroad sleeping car company based out of Pullman, Ill., and founded by George Pullman, was caught in the nationwide economic depression. Hundreds of employees were laid off and those who remained endured wage cuts, PBS said. Paychecks plummeted even though rents in Pullman remained consistent.
Employees, supported by the American Railway Union, went on strike, demanding lower rents and higher pay, PBS said. Soon rioting, pillaging, and burning of railroad cars ensued. Mobs of non-union workers joined in and the strike quickly became a national issue.
President Grover Cleveland declared the strike a federal crime, deploying 12,000 troops to put a stop to it, PBS reports. Violence erupted and two were killed as U.S. deputy marshals fired on protesters.
The strike was declared over on Aug. 3, 1894. The leader of the American Railway Union went to jail and the union disbanded. The Pullman employees signed a pledge to never again unionize, PBS said.
Just six days after the strike ended, the Labor Day bill arrived on Cleveland's desk. He signed the bill as a "reluctant election-year compromise" but was not re-elected.
The celebration of the holiday followed the form that was outlined in the first proposal of the holiday — a street parade followed by a festival, the Department of Labor reported. As more emphasis was placed on the economic and civic significance of Labor Day, celebrations included speeches by prominent men and women.
In 1909, the American Federation of Labor adopted a resolution recognizing the Sunday preceding Labor Day as Labor Sunday, which was dedicated to the spiritual and educational aspects of the labor movement.
On the Jersey Shore, Labor Day symbolizes the "unofficial" end of summer but in reality, the holiday is a yearly tribute to the workers throughout America who have contributed to the success of America.
"The vital force of labor added materially to the highest standard of living and the greatest production the world has ever known and has brought us closer to the realization of our traditional ideals of economic and political democracy," the Department of Labor states. "It is appropriate, therefore, that the nation pay tribute on Labor Day to the creator of so much of the nation's strength, freedom, and leadership — the American worker."

Core manufacturing sector's contribution to GDP growth is important for inclusive growth, according to the Reserve Bank of India's Deputy Governor H. R. Khan.
"Growth in the manufacturing sector, which contributes around 15-16 per cent to our GDP, is stagnating. For inclusive growth, the manufacturing sector must contribute about 25 per cent to the GDP with an appropriate rural and urban mix," said Khan at the inauguration of the 999 {+t} {+h} branch of the private lender Federal Bank.
According to the Deputy Governor, liquidity deficit is among the seven Ls (leadership, land, learning, labour, legal, linkage, liquidity deficits) and is most important to revive the sector.
Since, initial public offerings (IPOs) are drying up and the corporate debt market is not developed, the manufacturing sector must receive liquidity support from banks. In this context Khan said the quote of noted American author Mark Twain, "A banker lends you his umbrella when it's sunny and wants it back when it rains," must be proved wrong.
To improve liquidity in the system, the RBI initiated open market operations last year and reduced the SLR to 23 per cent in the first quarter review of the monetary policy.

From LeakyPedia
Cho Chang, born 1978 or 1979, is a Ravenclaw student in the year above Harry at Hogwarts. She plays Seeker on the Ravenclaw Quidditch Team.
Character development
Maybe 1-2 paragraphs here
Third book
Cho Chang is introduced during the Third book as the Seeker for Ravenclaw's Quidditch team. Harry Potter describes her as being pretty, though he makes no move to pursue her during the novel.[1] Upon first seeing Cho, Harry realizes that she makes him stomach gurgle, but is yet to realize a crush is forming.[2]
Fourth book
In the fourth book, Harry has a crush on Cho. He wants to ask Cho to the Yule Ball, but once he finally gets his courage up to ask her, she is already going with Cedric Diggory.[3] Cho dances with Cedric at the ball greatly enjoying herself, causing Harry to become quite jealous of Cedric .[4]
Fifth book
In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry shows romantic feelings for Cho, and shares his first kiss with her after a Dumbledore's Army meeting before the Christmas break. As Cho was crying, Harry described the kiss to Ron and Hermione as "wet.". The trio begins to have a discussion about how Cho felt and if Harry was a good kisser or not. Latter on the relationship becomes rocky with Cho becoming mad a Harry thinking he is with Hermione as well as her. She forgives him slightly after Harry's interview comes out in the quibler. However they are again at turns with each other , when Cho's friend tells Umbridge about the Meetings that the D.A. has been having. Harry becomes mad at her for not picking her friends better, while Cho is mad at Harry because Hermione jinxed the parchment they all wrote their names on so that it would show who was a a traitor to the D.A. [5]
Sixth Book
Final book
She returns to Hogwarts for the final battle with Lord Voldemort. She wants to take Harry to look at the model of the diadem of Ravenclaw, but Ginny makes Luna take Harry instead.[6]
Portrayals within films
Cho Chang is portrayed primarily as Harry's love interest in the films, played by Katie Leung. She is introduced in the fourth movie, and causes much tension between Harry and Cedric.
In the fifth movie, she is a member of Dumbledore's Army and is the one who rats out on them to Professor Umbridge. Though, it later revealed that she was under the influence of Veritaserum, and not entirely at fault.
Outward appearance
Cho is often described as being pretty, especially from Harry's perspective. She is a Seeker, which implies that she has a slight, athletic build and is quick on her feet (or broom). Her names indicates that she is of Chinese ancestry.
Cho is also told to have long, swishy black hair. She is portrayed to be averagely pretty form Harry's eyes.
Unfortunately, Cho is mostly personified through Harry's interest in her. She's a Ravenclaw, so she is supposedly intelligent. She also likes to play Quidditch. She's rather popular, as she's always seen with a group of Ravenclaw girls.
After Cedric's death, she becomes slightly erratic, often bursting into fits of tears. According to Hermione, she was so anxious that she was faced with the possibility of being kicked off of the Quidditch team. She seems unable to deal with Cedric's death, and attempts to have Harry as a replacement, unable to process the feelings that she may or may not have towards him. It's likely that she feels some obligation, as a popular and pretty girl, to have an equally popular boyfriend. In the end, it seems that Harry and Cho are able to have an awkward friendship, intensified through their efforts in Dumbledore's Army.
After breaking up with Harry, Cho still is in the belief that boys should be in her life; and in The Half Blood Prince, she is told to be "talking animatedly with Roger Davies...maybe too animatedly?"
Magical accomplishments and skills
Cho Chang graduated from Hogwarts in 1995. She was a member of Dumbledore's Army and fought against Voldemort during the Final Battle.
The only reference to Cho's parents is that they told Cho to stay on Umbridge's good side, but Cho didn't do as they wished, after what had happened to Cedric.[7] Cho Chang ended up marrying a Muggle.[8]

City Clerk Kathy Chambless, who delivered the third quarter financial report to the council, said the only department not currently within budget could potentially be brought back in line by the end of the fiscal year.
She said the alcohol fund is doing well following an $85,000 amendment approved by the council several months ago and that the garbage fund is also within budget .
Chambless predicted that a $60,000 budget amendment would be needed soon for the corrections fund because fine revenue is down for the year.
Chambless told the council that revenue for the general fund is coming in as expected and $80,000 in the Alabama Trust Fund should help the city end the fiscal year on a positive note.
"All in all, I think our fund balance will be increased $100,000 for this year," Chambless said.
In other action, the council:
•Agreed to enter into an agreement with the Alabama Department of Transportation for improvements to Industrial Parkway and Industrial Way to benefit AMTEX Inc. and Fontaine Trailer Company.
•Approved a request to purchase a lawn mower to be used in cemetery upkeep. City planner Keith Pike said the equipment will cost approximately $5,600, which is expected to come out of a fund designated for Oak Hill Cemetery.
•Adopted an ordinance to exempt certain items during the state's annual back-to-school sales tax holiday.
•Adopted a resolution for nuisance abatement.
•Adopted the city's annual resolution to fund public transportation.
•Accepted bids for inmate food as well as surfaces and fencing for the new Miracle Field.
•Approved spending $350 to allow police chief Connie Rowe to attend Leadership Walker County.
•Recognized Kevin Callahan, county chairman for the United Way of Central Alabama's fundraising campaign.
Callahan asked for the support of city leaders in not only their own giving but in convincing others to contribute as well. Callahan said the goal for the year is expected to be about $1.1 million.

Cesc Fabregas signs for Chelsea - Cesc says he has 'unfinished business' in Premier League
Updated 5:22pm Thursday 12th June 2014 in Sport By Omar Oakes
Chelsea have signed Cesc Fabregas from Barcelona.
The 27-year-old has joined on a five-year contract and will wear the no. 4 shirt, the club announced on their website this afternoon.
Fabregas said: "Firstly I would like to thank everyone at FC Barcelona where I enjoyed three wonderful years. It was my childhood club and I will always be proud and honoured that I had a chance to play for such a great team.
"I do feel that I have unfinished business in the Premier League and now is the right time to return.
"I considered all the other offers very carefully and I firmly believe that Chelsea is the best choice. They match my footballing ambitions with their hunger and desire to win trophies. They have an amazing squad of players and an incredible manager. I am fully committed to this team and I can't wait to start playing."
I firmly believe that Chelsea is the best choice. They match my footballing ambitions with their hunger and desire to win trophies...— Cesc Fàbregas Soler (@cesc4official) June 12, 2014
Fabregas arrives at Stamford Bridge following a three-year spell at Barcelona during which he helped the Catalan club win the La Liga title, Copa del Rey, Spanish Super Cup, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.
He is no stranger to the Premier League having enjoyed an eight-year spell with Arsenal prior to moving to Camp Nou.
However, with some of the biggest clubs in Europe chasing his signature, his departure from the Emirates was almost inevitable, and so it proved when he returned to the club that had nurtured him.

No need to explain further. The victor and victim theme ensues.
Need pattern? Go here http://web.archive.org/web/20051025041636/http://www.menknit.net/mag/MK1.pdf .
The Lover Tank by Sarah Briscoe
What could be more tropical than a guayabera? I found this pattern in a fit of pique over the lack of summer-weight patterns for men. The original pattern was in a murky size of M/L...meaning wouldn't fit anybody.
The book, "Knitting Masterpieces" by Ruth Herring and Karen Manners, was way ahead of its time. I discovered it in a dusty pile of books on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn...and fell in love. These gals lovingly and with great vision charted 20 art masterpeices from Standing Bison cave drawings to...well, to this iconic image of my youth.
This is what is on my needles. I am in knitting bliss.
In my knitting re-enactments of exciting but destructive events in history, I am hard at work uncovering under-explored hand-knit garments and accoutrements of victors and victims. My latest...the Steppes of Asia. Mongol patterns are so hard to find!
Reading a recent blog entry about knitting and thinking got me...cogitating. What makes this activity so engaging for me? What draws me to committing time and energy to this craft? What muse stirs as I stir the knitting soup?
To address this question, without judgement, rancor or disbelief, I wonder aloud...
Yeah, We Call Them Pirates pattern. Not real Faire Isle, but definitely stranded knitting. As you can see from the inside shot, I used the woven stitch, so there are no floats. Makes a thick, dense fabric with nary a "Thar she blows!" through to the scalp. Used Noro silk and wool in the single colors, black and white. Light as a feather, warmer than...well, you get the idea.
Finished this about 2 years ago, but never got to post it. Changed quite a bit...but love wearing it. Indian head nickel buttons, Cuccoon is the name of the grey trim yarn. Red is Peruvia.
As the medically minded of the members here on Men Who Knit know, the answer to the question, "How have you been?"
tells a great deal. The query offers a neutral, safe and simple landing spot for an answer. All too often, though, the answer can be a direct social lie.
"I an fine. Thanks for asking!"
Hey there, men! Been a while...and I am back.
Teaching again...though some say I've never stopped, especially with those non-compliant types who won't give up control...they eventually, inevitably, succumb.

---- — SALEM — The executive director of HAWC, the Salem-based domestic violence agency, is resigning but will remain as interim director until a replacement is found.
Both Candace Waldron, the executive director of Healing Abuse, Working for Change, and Stephen Feron, the president of HAWC's board, said Waldron's resignation is not connected to a state investigation into allegations of abuse at a domestic violence shelter.
"It is absolutely not related," Feron said.
That investigation cleared HAWC of accusations by lawyers for four residents who claimed they were subjected to humiliating or retaliatory treatment. It also, however, made recommendations for training, policy development and other measures.
Waldron told board members in May that she planned to step down from the post she's held for more than a dozen years by the end of 2012, but agreed to stay on as interim director until a replacement is hired, she and Feron said Thursday.
"We love Candace," Feron said. "The board loves Candace, and we fully support her."
Feron said the board has hired a consultant, Third Sector New England, to assist in the search for a new director. Major donors were sent a letter in October, he said. While based in Salem, HAWC provides services for women in Gloucester and across Cape Ann and carries out a number of Cape Ann fund-raising efforts.
Waldron said she is trying to complete a memoir and saw an opportunity to do that when her youngest child recently started college.
"No way was I going to be able to do that while also running a nonprofit," she said.
"I've loved my 13 years at HAWC," Waldron said. "I love my staff."
She acknowledged that there have been "a lot of challenges along the way," but also some major successes, including establishing a parent-child trauma recovery team, the purchase and renovation of the shelter, the change in name from "Help for Abused Women and their Children" in order to reflect the diversity of the clientele, and a grant that allowed HAWC to expand legal advocacy for women in court.
Waldron will remain with the organization on a part-time basis until a new director is in place. Feron said that is likely to happen sometime later this year.
The consultant is conducting interviews of HAWC employees, is taking an overall look at its operations and will then create a job description for the new director.

I think that's when I'm gonna just wrap it up for a minute because I've been working on music for 27 years now and the longest I've ever been out of the studio in 27 years has been two weeks," Dr. Dre said in an interview. "So yeah I feel like I'm gonna take a little bit of a break. I'm never gonna stop music, it's like air to me. So I'mma take a little bit of a break. Enjoy some time with the family til I get that itch to get back in." (FADER TV)
In October, Slim the Mobster gave SOHH his reaction to being one of two primary Aftermath focuses for the Doc.
"I've been knew that," Slim jokingly told SOHH when informed about Dre's primary focus on him and Kendrick Lamar. "I knew that months ago. It never changed how I am or who I am. I mean, things change but I'm not trying to change too much. I don't want it to be as if [Dr. Dre's pledge] gives me my confidence. Confidence comes from what I do. Despite who I'm with, that's where my confidence comes from. [Dre's words are] like a boost, but I never had the vision in my head, 'Because Dre this, Dre that,' nah, I still got work to do." (SOHH)
A week prior, Dre revealed his intent to solely work alongside Slim and Kendrick Lamar.
"I am never going to give music up," he said. "Music is like air to me, [music] is like oxygen, so I am always doing that. As soon as I get back to Los Angeles, I am back in the studio doing my thing. I have a couple of new artists that I am excited about, Kendrick Lamar and Slim the Mobster. These are the next two artists, and these are probably my final two artists that I am going to be working with at least for the next couple of years. I am going to devote all my attention to them and make sure their sh*t comes out the way it should be. I am just having fun with life right now!" (Global Grind)
Prior to its release getting pushed back indefinitely, Dre's Detox was slated to hit stores in mid-April.
Dr. Dre fans can finally exhale. After a decade of waiting for Detox, the hip-hop icon has announced his album's release date in a rather anticlimactic way. Producer Just Blaze posted a video of himself in the studio with the Doc. While Blaze plugged his artist Saigon's project, Dre revealed the date many doubted would ever come. "4/20, baby. 4/20, I'm comin'," said The Chronic rapper, referring to April 20, the pot smokers' holiday. You may notice that 4/20 is a Wednesday, a day later than the traditional Tuesday release in the U.S. When asked why Dre opted to miss a day of the sales week, Just Blaze responded on Twitter, saying, "We talked about that. [I'm] sure the publicity and hype of the date release would make up for the lost day." (Rap-Up)

My journey
I am a 52 year old, type I Diabetic that is BRCA II Positive. My grandmother lost her life to breast cancer, my mother has survived it twice and I chose to be PROACTIVE and after getting the genetic results as positive, had my ovaries removed when I was 41. For the last 10 months I have once again chosen to be PROACTIVE and had a prophylactic mastectomy with reconstruction. In May of this year I had my expander's switched out for implants! MUCH BETTER!
The hardest part of my journey
The expansion was very difficult for me and as a Diabetic (my blood sugar reacts to pain and inflammation) the process of reconstruction has taken longer than most.
If I could do it over again
I would do it again and ABSOLUTELY have my ovaries and breasts removed. I DON"T LIVE in FEAR anymore!!

Communications Standards: The Who, What and Why

The fire service is no stranger to standards, and many of the more commonly known entities such as the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Insurance Services Organization (ISO) have standards that also apply directly to emergency communications. However, there is an alphabet soup of additional agencies that promulgate regulations having a direct impact on this specific aspect of operations. This column details who these agencies are, what these standards cover and why fire departments both large and small should be concerned about meeting them.
Perhaps the best way to review these is by alphabetical order. We'll start with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Association of Public-safety Communications Officials International (APCO). Our focus here will be on those documents that bear the seal of both. Among these is the Automated Secure Alarm Protocol (ASAP) by which alarm companies can directly communicate with computer-aided dispatch (CAD) systems. This eliminates the need for a call between the central station and the 9-1-1 center, and provides for pre-verification of the address. The latter is extremely critical as it eliminates precious time wasted struggling with partial or incorrect addresses.
Personnel qualifications
Also of interest are ANSI and APCO standards that deal with personnel. These include Core Competencies and Minimum Training Standards for Public Safety Communications Training Coordinator, Core Competencies and Minimum Training Standards for Public Safety Communications Supervisor, Core Competencies for Public Safety Communications Manager/Director and Minimum Training Standards for Public Safety Telecommunicators.
Documents also cover: Public Safety Communications Common Incident Types for Data Exchange; Wireless 9-1-1 Deployment and Management Effective Practices Guide; Standard Channel Nomenclature for the Public Safety Interoperability Channels; Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) Service Capability Criteria Rating Scale; and Standard for Public Safety Telecommunicators When Responding to Calls of Missing, Abducted and Sexually Exploited Children. Although the latter may be more applicable for PSAPs that service law enforcement, it is mentioned here since it is worthwhile training. It cannot be assumed that such reports would never reach a fire-only dispatch center.
Next on the list comes the Commission of Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). While it may sound strange to be including what would appear to be a police-oriented body, CALEA offers an accreditation process for communications centers. Interestingly, the Shreveport, LA, Fire Communications Center opted for this route. According to Willis Carter, then deputy chief of the department and chief of communications, "Successfully achieving our first CALEA accreditation Award in 2003 was, without a doubt, one of my agency's proudest accomplishments. Meeting the very demanding professional standards' compliance requirements affirms the agency's commitment to top-quality public safety services."
Mandated standards
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) by name alone would be an obvious choice for inclusion in our review of regulatory agencies. The FCC is of particular importance in that – unlike others discussed here – its applicable standards are not voluntary. A wide range of subjects covered impact the fire service, including type-accepted equipment, licensing requirements and 9-1-1. Failure to comply in some cases can lead to fines, loss of frequencies or other penalties.

After a dozen years as the top-grossing film of all time, a seemingly once-in-a-generation phenomenon, James Cameron's action-heavy period romance "Titanic" was finally unseated from its position as the biggest grossing film of all time by... James Cameron's action-heavy futuristic romance, "Avatar," which topped the earlier film's seemingly unbeatable $1,800,000,000 haul by nearly a billion dollars. But with "Avatar 2" not expected in theaters until 2015, the director has to find some way of keeping his coffers topped up (transplanting yourself into a Na'vi doesn't come cheap, you know), so he's going back to his number two film to give it the one thing it was missing before: a third dimension.
A press release from Paramount has confirmed what's been suspected for some time: that the traditionally anti-post-conversion Cameron has been working on transplanting "Titanic" into 3D, and that the studio will re-release the film, alongside original partners 20th Century Fox, next year. More precisely, it'll be on April 6th, 2012, a date chosen with particular significance to the storyline, as the Titanic set sail on its maiden, and only, voyage, on April 10th, 1912, so the re-release will mark the centenary of the boat's journey. And, you know, its sinking.
Cameron comments that "There's a whole generation that's never seen "Titanic" as it was meant to be seen, on the big screen. And this will be "Titanic" as you've never seen it before, digitally re-mastered at 4K and painstakingly converted to 3D. With the emotional power intact and the images more powerful than ever, this will be an epic experience for fans and newcomers alike," while Paramount boss Brad Grey adds that "This new presentation of Paramount's top-grossing film is particularly special because 2012 is the 100th anniversary of our studio. Paramount has had the pleasure of introducing audiences to some of the all-time classics of cinema during that century of moviemaking and we cannot think of a better way to mark the occasion than with this re-release of "Titanic"." You know we'd have settled for a new print of "The Godfather," right?
While the film is distinctly unlikely to come anywhere near its original box-office take, it'll still likely be a serious heavyweight at the box office, and could cause problems for its immediate competition, the Henry Cavill actioner "The Cold Light of Day" and "American Pie" fourquel "American Reunion," either of which could well shift dates. A knock-on effect may also be felt the week before: prospective blockbusters "The Pirates 3D" and "Clash of the Titans 2" were already faced with the prospect of sharing the 3D screens with each other, but the arrival of Cameron's heavyweight may send them scurrying elsewhere in the calendar, particularly with March already looking tentpole-heavy.
It's not the only film by an already-loaded auteur to get the treatment: next year will see the distinctly less-beloved "Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace" re-released in 3D on February 10th. For the record, "Titanic 3D" will continue to star Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Billy Zane, Bill Paxton, Suzy Amis, Kathy Bates, Frances Fisher, the late Gloria Stuart and Bernard Hill, it'll continue to be written and directed by Cameron, and it'll continue to be Cameron's least good film. But fans can check it out worldwide on April 6th, 2012.
Glass | May 24, 2011 10:53 AM
Cameron has never been opposed to post-conversion, he just doesn't think people do it properly, nor does he think it can look nearly as good as when filmed with 3D cameras. There's nothing hypocrticial in what he's doing, he's also been talking about converting Titanic to 3D for years.
Rebecca | May 19, 2011 6:24 AM
Yesssssssss!!!! So excited :)
daniel | May 19, 2011 5:07 AM
Posting news on The Playlist about Titanic is laying out bait for us to out-pretension eachother. I love Playlist because the news is fresh, the commentary is sharp, and the folks that come here generally are really active in their love for a wide range of film. But I have to say I'm always embarrassed when this tack is taken: that somehow certain kinds of movies are 'beneath' us. Titanic is an extraordinary example of it's form; it may be paper-thin, pop entertainment, but it's one of the best examples of this that you can find, and just as valid a film as rarefied arthouse fare like 'Last Year at Marienbad.' I suspect there are a lot of Playlisters who slam Titanic, but rave about their new DVD of 'Umbrellas of Cherbourg,' which is equally well made, and just as audience-pleasing in it's design.
I think all we should ever ask is that films are made well; judge them by what they're attempting, not by what you wish it would be. I have no trouble with people saying Titanic isn't their kind of movie, or they didn't think it was well made. But I think that for many of us, the negative response is pure elitism; it's nothing to do with the film, and all to do with our self-image. Which is not only weirdly self -limiting for people who propose to love film, but it's anti-cinema. If the cinematic experience is about anything, it's about forgetting yourself, and giving yourself over to the film you are watching.
Mr Anonymous | May 19, 2011 4:44 AM
Titanic in 3D? Does that even make sense? It's a boat!
What's 3D about it?
If i want anything in 3D from that movie it should be Kate Winslet's perky breasts being shoved right in my face! Other than that, what a joke!
Complete sellout.
hmm | May 19, 2011 4:42 AM
Actually PM, Cameron has never been completely against conversion. He doesn't like the half-assed job of doing it
rodie | May 19, 2011 3:58 AM
James Cameron makes me want to puke a lot of puke.
PM | May 19, 2011 2:19 AM
@BuntyHoven - Those are called "yes" people.
Cameron, what a hypocrite, railing on and on against 3D conversion, but then he realizes that everyone makes a buck and he felt left out. Oh wait, but this is DIFFERENT! HE'S doing the conversion, which means it will be much better than everyone else's conversion, so therefore, it's justified and will advance Hollywood into the next stage of mind blowing 3D conversion. So all that ranting before- it wasn't against 3D conversion itself, it was against everyone else's crappy conversion and not waiting to see how HE does it.
BuntyHoven | May 19, 2011 1:43 AM
I wonder if they'll have fixed those floating CGI sailors striding about on deck. I remember when it came out, Cameron was bragging how he showed it to some folks early on and they couldn't tell the difference between the CGI people and the real actors. Then the movie came out and EVERYONE could spot the weird, robotic CGI people who seemed to walk above the ground in a weirdly unnatural style.
Whitney Warren | May 19, 2011 1:39 AM
Titanic came out 14 years ago and James Cameron is still milking it. Until recently, he was still milking Avatar as well. Anyone who goes to see this is living in the past.
He has got to be the greediest man in Hollywood. All those billions of dollars are not enough for him and he is still not satisfied.
You don't see Nolan and Abrams milking Batman and Star Trek.
mike_m | May 19, 2011 1:36 AM
Well I know what I will be skipping that weekend.
as for:
"You know we'd have settled for a new print of "The Godfather," right?"
2 or 3 years ago new prints of The Godfather and Godfather 2 were playing around the country. I caught them both at NY Film Forum.

Brake fault caused tube to get stuck at Holland Park
A spokesperson for Transport for London has said a fault that caused a tube to get stuck at Holland Park forcing passengers to panic, is believed to have been caused by the brakes being locked against the wheels of the train.
The spokesman added that the doors were not opened in case passengers climbed onto the live tracks as the train was not fully in the station.
Holland Park Tube station was closed from 6.40pm to 7.23pm on Sunday 25 August.
The London Fire Brigade (LFB) were called as a precaution following reports of a small amount smoke under a train.
The Central line was held for around 15 minutes. The LFB gave the all clear and the central line resumed service at 6.54pm and the station reopended at 7.23pm.
– Nigel Holness, Operations Director for London Underground
We apologise to customers for the inconvenience. Our staff were on hand on the platform to assist passengers leaving the train.
