Y'all of Fame: Nashville Is the Fall's Best New DramaABC
All great artists have their signature tools. For Picasso it was the paintbrush. For E.L. James, it's the riding crop. And for Connie Britton, it's "y'all." Without it, the Boston-born Britton is a fine actress, plain-spoken and sharp. But when handed the simple syllable, she is transformed: Her voice softens even as her face toughens, her luminous eyes go wide, caught crinkling somewhere between wonder and bemusement. As Tami Taylor on Friday Night Lights — perennially patient wife to Kyle Chandler's Coach and adoptive mother to everyone in West Texas — Britton was a revelation: sweet as tea and stronger than a linebacker; a dab of butter on a mountain of grit. For many actors, the demands of an unfamiliar accent can be restrictive as a latex bodysuit, but Britton comes alive the further South she travels. Before she could run, she had to learn to drawl.
Nashville, premiering tonight at 10 p.m. EST on ABC, is many things, the fall's best new drama among them. But most of all it's a big, glittery showcase for Britton's supersize charms. As Rayna James, the graying queen of country music — think Faith Over The Hill — Britton is radiant, even as her character's star is dimming. When we meet her, Rayna's chasing hits as frantically as she chases her kids around the stately Music City she shares with Teddy, her Great Recession–scarred second choice of a husband. "We're cash-poor," he explains as Rayna heads off to work, bringing down the house at the Grand Ole Opry in order to save her own. But the real threat is lurking backstage: Auto-Tuned ingenue Juliette Barnes is Taylor Swift without even a shred of false modesty, gobbling up acclaim along with every able-bodied man in town.
As Juliette, Hayden Panettiere is deliciously bitchy — meeting Rayna for the first time, she twists the knife with a story about hearing the older star's songs in utero ("Bless your heart, that is a charming story," Britton purrs back, hackles up) — but her appetite stems from a darker place: a junkie mom in constant need of money. Panettiere does good work conveying Juliette as she is between the standing ovations: an emotional black hole, despite the best efforts of every cowpoke in Tennessee. Still, Nashville, at least for now, makes no bones about whose side we're on. The plot is set in motion when Rayna is asked to open — excuse me, "co-headline" — for her mini-me on a national tour. But as Rayna herself puts it: "I'm not ready to hang up my rhinestones just yet."
Tonight's pilot is a marvel of world-building and stakes-setting. Written by veteran screenwriter Callie Khouri (Thelma & Louise) and ably directed by R.J. Cutler (The War Room), Nashville instantly acclimates even the most tone-deaf viewer into the hothouse of Music City, from the snakeskin-booted slicksters prowling the Opry with dollar signs in their eyes to the aspiring balladeers trapped busing tables at the Bluebird. Perhaps due to Cutler's background in documentaries, a lot of time is well spent on the little things: His camera captures the workmanlike drudgery behind every transcendent moment (Rayna's off-key tour rehearsals; the casual treachery of a label boss trying to fiddle with success while the record industry burns around him) as well as the first quiet sparks of Sam Palladio and Clare Bowen's flirtatious collaboration; a duet that could eventually go global. And thanks to T-Bone Burnett, Khouri's husband and award-winning authenticity generator, Nashville even gets the music right, something notoriously hard to do for anything scripted. All of the original songs here, from the Britton-belted crowd-pleasers to the more intimate picking of Charles Esten as Rayna's bandleader and lost love, are better than accurate: They're actually good.
Less melodious is a political plot that pits Powers Boothe, as Rayna's lizardy papa ("He's always there when he needs you"), and her spotlight-starved husband against the engaging Robert Wisdom (Bunny Colvin from The Wire) in a race for the mayor's office. Still, any opportunity to see Boothe snarl over soup is one worth taking. At 64, Boothe is hammier than the deli case at the Piggly Wiggly, but his shake-and-bake Shakespeare act adds a soapy gravitas to the show — and brings out the frayed vulnerability in Britton's measured performance. It's also a reminder that what separates Nashville from the rest of this season's freshmen isn't that it reinvents the wheel; other than a potential downtown baseball stadium, no new ground is broken here, and many of the future entanglements are as honkingly inevitable as a chorus. Rather, it's a celebration of what made network TV worth watching in the first place: appealing and attractive characters let loose on a rich game board stacked with doomy romance, backstabbing glamour, and the occasional dash of artistry.
It's legitimate to ask if executive producers Khouri and Cutler are capable of maintaining such harmony. There's a long history of TV outsiders bringing a fresh perspective to the small screen and a very short list of those able to adjust to the weekly grind. After the pilot, a new showrunner (Boss's Dee Johnson) was flown in and no additional episodes have been screened for critics. It could be a bad omen or it could be nothing at all — no amount of off-camera drama can take away from the music being made in front of it.
Back below the Mason-Dixon line where she belongs, Connie Britton is proving yet again that she's one of the best actors on television, cable or otherwise; even without Friday Night Lights's notoriously loose shooting style, she's able to make every moment impossibly intimate, whether she's facing a packed house or an unforgiving makeup mirror. Britton has the rare ability to make innate decency seem compelling, not story-deadening, and Rayna's supposedly advancing years hang on her like a platinum plaque. When her brooding bandleader asks a simple question ("What would you change?") while standing astride the Shelby Street Bridge, she manages to sell an entire character with two contradictory words: "Nothing," she says. "Everything."
Never mind what the plot tells us: This is her headlining gig. And she's making the most of every second of it.

Adventurous oldies impress chopper crew
Relevant offers
As much of the nation sat watching television on Sunday morning a band of old codgers was impressing the Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust - despite needing something of a rescue.
Paramedic Chris Deacon says they flew out to Tiritiri Matangi Island yesterday morning to pick up a man who had crushed his leg in a kayaking accident.
"It could have been a bit of a mole hill," he told Fairfax Media, "but what I was impressed with was the ages."
The man needing help was in 60s and he was with three women in their 70s also kayaking the Hauraki Gulf.
"They were out there doing it, having adventures while the nation's young people, sitting on the couch, are not. They're playing game-boys and things like that."
And watching the World Cup.Deacon said the party had launched their kayaks at Army Bay in Whangaparaoa aiming to paddle the five kilometres to Tiri Tiri.
As they were doing that a fishing kayak was also being launched and as its owner was taking the trailer ashore, the sixty-year-old volunteered to hold his kayak.
As it did, a wave came in and slammed the kayaks together, crushing the man's leg.
Undeterred he joined the women and paddled out to Tiri Tiri, doing a circuit around it and then coming ashore at the wharf.
"He was a bit uncomfortable," says Deacon, adding that while the leg wasn't broken, is had major soft tissue damage.
Deacon says the party were not planning to seek immediate help.
The women kayakers had organised a system to tow the wounded man back to Army Bay where they planned to drive off to see a doctor.
The Fuller ferry arriving at the island had a volunteer ambulance driver aboard and he provided first aid, calling for an airlift.Deacon said when they flew in some more oldies were on hand.
They landed at the lighthouse and were greeted by an 80-year-old volunteer who drove them to the patient.
"He was as fit as a buck rat."
And another old codger helping Deacon recognised; they had air lifted him off Great Barrier where he had been planting trees some time before.
The kayaker was treated and discharged at Auckland Hospital, leaving one paramedic very impressed.
"The older people are out there doing it, and having a great time."

One shot rings out, then another, piercing the quiet, humid air in Herzliya. Gil Simkovitch watches the rounds rip through their target, silently assesses his success, then stands and sets his rifle down casually, but with care. Sixty meters away, across a stretch of grass and wildflowers, wind whistles through a shredded paper bull's-eye.
It's just another average day at the shooting range for the 26-year-old marksman, a Kfar Saba native who will head to Beijing for his first Olympic contest this summer. Simkovitch qualified to represent Israel in the 60 meter prone event - shooting 60 shots from a prone (lying down) position, from 60 meters away from the target - by placing first in this competition at the World Championship in Munich last May. Standing next to his coach and fellow shooter Guy Starik, Simkovitch won by a narrow, but critical, margin.
"He had to tell me I had won," a shocked Simkovitch recalls, his soft brown eyes lighting up. "He had won the Munich World Championship two years ago, and I was sure he would win again."
And thus began his road to Beijing, bolstered by support from the Israeli Olympic Committee, littered with empty casings and full of intense concentration. Simkovitch, who is admittedly "a little nervous" about the upcoming tournament, spends every day at the National Olympic Ranges in Herzliya, practicing by shooting one or two sessions a day.
"It's not so much physically, but very mentally demanding," he explains.
Part of this anxiety comes from the conditions he knows will exist in Beijing. "I'm concerned about the smog," he reveals. "It's difficult to hold your breath [a tactic he employs] when the air is congested." Plus, he expects the heat to be a factor, making it hard to focus and increasing his pulse even more. All of these components have led him to incorporate other aspects beside shooting into his training regimen.
Simkovitch's affinity for mechanics and minute details is ideally suited for the technical sport; he enjoys customizing his rifle "to an insane level," trying to tweak the nuts and bolts, as well as his hold on the rifle and his positioning, to get the best shot. He had even considered a career in engineering, taking classes in mechanical engineering at Tel Aviv University. When he realized how frequently he was skipping class to go to the shooting range, he left school to pursue shooting full-time.
It is a career choice that fits the slim, steady man well. While some would think of a sport involving rifles and ammunition as aggressive, even violent, for Simkovitch it is an exercise in Zen-like tranquility. He enjoys the peace when he is shooting, calling it "a meditative experience." Since his rifle, a 1913 Anschutz, is ultra-sensitive to the extent that his pulse beating against the barrel shifts the aim, he must be patient and sufficiently aware of his body to time his shots between heartbeats.
"It's hard at competitions, when your heart is racing from excitement," he says. "It's a conflict in shooting, because there is pressure to shoot well, which makes it harder. It's easy to shoot a 10 [a perfect score] when you're indifferent, but you can't be indifferent."
He therefore engages in a constant dance to achieve equilibrium. "If you try too hard, you will eventually fail," he says. "You have to find a balance. This sport is very much about balance."
Simkovitch must also blend the mental components with the athleticism shooting demands. To help disperse the pressure and weight of a seven kilo rifle, he wears special gloves and a jacket fitted with elbow and shoulder padding, and back support for standing shots. When shooting prone, he uses a sling to carry the rifle, and always wears boot-like shoes with flat soles and a flattened toe to keep him stable. In place of his usual eyeglasses, he sports a special shooting lens equipped with a blinder so that he does not have to close his non-aiming eye, thereby avoiding any unnecessary muscles working.
"It sounds small, but every little bit helps," he maintains.
All of these little bits add up to a lot of experience, which this veteran shooter credits for his success. Simkovitch began shooting when he was 16, after his junior high school took his class to a shooting range for a day. He immediately joined a club in Kfar Saba run by soldiers and was taken under current coach Starik's wing; he progressed quickly, and went on to win the Junior Championship in 2001, at 19.
One could easily assume that a shooter with his credentials would slide easily into a traditional, if not accelerated, military track. But Simkovitch is hardly one to opt for a traditional path. He accepted the IDF's offer of "sportsman's status," which allowed to him to practice shooting rather than engage in traditional service for the majority of his time.
"I was trained as a marksman, but I probably would have gone to sniper training had it not been for the special status," he says. "They asked me to be a shooting instructor, but when I got to the base to train, they told me I wasn't needed. I still feel I did my part."
Simkovitch recommends that any teens who may want to join an elite combat unit should join shooting clubs before their draft.
For Simkovitch, however, shooting is more than just a profession or a skill. He loves every day he spends at the range, even when frustration racks his nerves. He finds pleasure in some different aspects of the sport, including critiquing it.
"I've only seen one [James] Bond who could hold a gun," he says with a laugh, referring to one-time 007 portrayer George Lazenby. "He was a terrible Bond, but at least he knew how to hold a rifle. No one can hold two Uzis, shooting from the hip, and hit anything intentionally. That's just ridiculous."
Perhaps Simkovitch will find his shooting expertise used for a different aim in the future, but for now, only the Olympics are in his sights.

THE leader of Oxford City Council has said that Royal Mail's refusal to cooperate in the Oxpens redevelopment wouldn't be a "showstopper".
Bob Price was speaking after Royal Mail announced that it had no intention of moving from its Oxpens Road delivery office.
The redevelopment is expected to include houses and flats, offices, research and development space, a hotel and public square, with Oxpens Meadow preserved.
Most of the 20-acre site is owned by the city council and by the Department for Transport and negotiations are currently taking place with the four other bodies who own the rest of the land – Oxford Citizen's Housing Association, Esso, Milton Property Investment and Royal Mail.
The Royal Mail delivery office is one of the buildings which would have to make way for the development. But a spokesman said the company has "no plans" to relocate.
Mr Price said: "Royal Mail has been talking to us for a long time now about moving to a new site but if they didn't move that's fine, there is no particular need for them to move.
"Their building can be retained but it just changes the nature of what goes around it.
"It would not be a showstopper, it would just make it less easy to develop in an entirely desirable way."
Mr Price said the other landowners seemed enthusiastic about the proposals and the current initial plans have been put together on the basis that every building will be demolished. The council's executive board is setting aside £320,000 to progress the project and hopes to reach a development agreement over the next year.

Inmarsat has announced that Shared Services Canada (SSC) will deploy FleetBroadB & new Assured Access service for 29 Canadian warships.
The contract to provide these services to Government of Canada is now under the responsibility of SSC. The Government of Canada established SSC in August 2011 to consolidate its data centers, telecommunications and email systems.
Deployment of these services to the Canadian Navy started in October 2012. FleetBroadband will provide the ships with global broadband connectivity while at sea – for email, internet and data services and voice communications. Since Inmarsat introduced FleetBroadband in 2007, it has been deployed on more than 30,000 commercial and government vessels worldwide.
Inmarsat's new Assured Access service grants government customers priority access to Inmarsat satellite network resources via their Subscriber Identification Modules (SIMs). Assured Access subscribers are guaranteed a specific grade of FleetBroadband, Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) or SwiftBroadband service within pre-defined geographic areas, thereby assuring capacity and network access will be available during contingencies and crises.
Andy Start, President of Inmarsat Global Government, said, "This deployment demonstrates our ability to meet the rapidly evolving communications requirements of one of the world's most advanced naval forces. We are grateful for this continued confidence to meet the Canadian government's exacting performance criteria, and to deliver the critical communications capabilities they need."

Anticipating the corporate need to provide both standard business views and user-defined workflows, mobile Business Intelligence app cafe moba releases its mobile information unification and analytics platform in native iOS and Windows RT versions
Available today in the App Store and Windows Store, cafe moba is a mobile unification platform that connects, analyzes, and visualizes real-time business data, web-based information, and social media streams. Designed for flexibility, cafe moba will be configured by IT and personalized by the user to suit their specific needs and preferences.
Specifically, cafe moba:
- connects internal company data (like ERP and BI), cloud or web-based information (like CRM), to social feeds (like LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook)
- incorporates simultaneous views of these sources along with analytical visualizations like graphs, charts, and tables
- delivers the social context relating to your customers, brands, products and contacts by directly linking to their relevant social media updates, news feeds and web content
- can share workflows within and across iPad and WindowsRT environments according to user profiles and permissions
- can be defined and locked down completely or selectively
Unlike static reporting BI dashboards currently available in the market, cafe moba is built using a flexible framework that connects data sources and allows individual users to quickly create personalized workflows on the device, without a desktop interface. Additional user flexibility comes from the ability to change data measures or groups within analytics components; add, modify, or remove components or workflows; and personalize color themes, component titles, or screen layouts.
"The nature of the relationship between IT and users is changing, and that change is being accelerated by tablet devices" says Kang Lu, Chief Technology Officer. "That's why we developed cafe moba to be the best of both worlds: a tablet-based BI and analytics app that can be configured and deployed quickly by an IT specialist, and an insight and decision-making tool that becomes indispensable to users because they have the flexibility to make it their own."
"We are thrilled to be able to release cafe moba both in the App Store and the Windows Store, and see it as a completely unique player in the mobile BI space -for two reasons" says Dale deFreitas, CEO of cafe moba. "First, it expands the traditional 'Business Intelligence' data set definition by connecting internal, external, and social sources of information. Secondly, it recognizes that users don't always want to be locked in to a workflow that somebody else dictates to them. cafe moba delivers an information-rich, fast, and flexible experience for users and IT alike that just can't be found elsewhere in the app stores."
"cafe moba represents an exciting opportunity to let everyone perform at their best in their work life" adds Debbie Horovitch, cafe moba's full-time community manager. "The app makes it easy for users to access, modify, and add timely and relevant information. It's going to make them more productive and effective, and that's what mobile is all about."
More about cafe moba:
cafe moba is developed by a team of software developers, data modeling experts, and business intelligence specialists located in Toronto, Canada. They have users of their products all over the world, including North America, Europe, and Asia.

Simply Scalamandre
The name alone exudes an air of elegance and exoticism. Scalamandre, a luxury textile house, has been a part of American history since its inception in 1929. Founded by Italian engineer Franco Scalamandre and artist and designer Flora Baranzelli, Scalamandre is a purveyor of luxury silks and sumptuous trims used in historic restorations. Most designers and design students consider their timeless designs classics.
For years, as a part of their research, they collected historic fabrics that were used for study and for reproduction in the restoration of historic homes. Their collection gave way to the founding of the Scalamandre Textile Museum in their Manhattan showroom in 1936, and it remained open through the 1960s.
The Scalamandres knew how to survive, and during World War II, they did so by supplying surplus goods such as parachute fabric for the government. This allowed them to financially strengthen themselves, and once the war was over, they continued to develop their unique fabrics for historic homes and museums. Travels to Monticello were enriching, as the Scalamandres were asked to reproduce certain brocades and lampas material, allowing them to expand on their already rich repertoire of fabrics.
Scalamandre is the go-to manufacturer for fabrics for the Capitol, national museums and the White House. It is for this reason that their historic textiles are available in very traditional colors such as reds, blues and golds. First lady Jacqueline Kennedy was the first to call upon Scalamandre to reproduce silk fabrics to redecorate the White House, and successive first ladies from Nancy Reagan to Hillary Clinton have counted on the established silk manufacturer for their touches to America's home.
From time to time, Scalamandre ventured into new and exciting prints, such as their eponymous leaping zebras pattern.
Estates from Newport Beach to Palm Beach are familiar with Edwin's Covey, China Rose and Jardin de Tuileries, just some of the iconic designs for which Scalamandre is most recognized. Aside from the historical documents, Scalamandre has endeavored to produce solid fabrics with texture and materials of the finest quality to complement their renowned prints. Their latest collection is inspired by Old Hollywood and by exotic travel, with embroidered paisleys on silk and ikat-printed linens.
Scalamandre was held in family hands until 2007. Under new ownership, Scalamandre is entering into a new phase that honors their past and embraces the future. They have hired tastemaker, fashion designer and prepster Steven Stolman. Stolman believes that Scalamandre is the "essence of the exquisite," and he always has. Funny enough, in a previous life, Stolman made a name and a look popular in resort areas all the rage — using Scalamandre fabrics for shift dresses, pants and suits a la "The Sound of Music." Everything old is new again.

Pauline Rose is the Director of the Global Monitoring Report on Education published by UNESCO.
This week, business leaders are gathering in Davos to debate global priorities at the World Economic Forum. The forum declares itself to be "committed to improving the state of the world". So why isn't education higher up on the agenda?
On the face of it, there should be little need to make the business case for education. It is intrinsically tied to all positive development outcomes. Economic growth, health, nutrition and democracy are all boosted by quality schooling. If all children in low-income countries left school with basic reading skills, poverty would fall by 12 percent - and that's good for business. The private sector benefits directly from an educated, skilled workforce.
The private sector spends only $683 million per year to support education in developing countries, however, making
The private sector spends only $683 million per year to support education in developing countries, however, making up equivalent to just 5 percent of total education aid, as we found in the latest Education for All Global Monitoring Report. This is equivalent to less than 0.5 percent of the annual profits of the ten biggest companies in the world. It is about the same as the price of two Boeing 747s or the amount Americans spend on pizzas in just over a week.
By contrast, health usually features high on the agenda at Davos and is one of the top three global risks identified by the forum. Health, as each of us knows, is the foundation of well-being. From an education perspective, having visited classrooms around the world I know all too well that children cannot concentrate and benefit fully from school if they are ill or malnourished.
Why does health figure so much more prominently than education? One reason is that recent campaigns against malaria, polio, HIV and AIDS and tuberculosis have been headed by Bill Gates or endorsed by the Gates Foundation. A vaccination summit held in 2011 and championed by the Gates Foundation raised $4.3 billion, enabling 250 million children to be vaccinated worldwide.
Such sums give pause for thought. There are still 61 million children out of school, and it would cost $16 billion a year to get them all into school - but universal primary education might truly be possible by 2015 if a leader like Bill Gates galvanised private companies and foundations to prioritise schooling.
The reality is that, without such a champion, education gets little attention from the private sector: 53 percent of US foundations' grants are allocated to health and only 8 percent to education. And contributions that are made need to be set in context. ExxonMobil - the world's second-biggest company - is one of the top five corporations giving to education. But its annual contribution of $24 million is equivalent to just 0.06 percent of its 2011 profits.
A Bill Gates for education may yet appear. We hope the quest for new targets to replace the Millennium Development Goals will underline the considerable power of education to boost progress in every other development sector - and persuade the private sector to abandon its reluctance to fund education.
One thing is for certain: Without new investments, education funding will continue to stagnate. As populations increase, we will start to see the number of children out of school going up rather than down, as is already the case in sub-Saharan Africa.
Our hope is that on the global stage at Davos, business leaders will find the motivation to step up alongside governments and donors to help fill the funding gap and reinvigorate progress towards Education for All.

There is big money to be earned operating a party entertainment service and providing live entertainment for parties and special occasions'clowns, soloists, musical bands, magicians, singing telegrams, public speakers, spokespeople, acrobats, jugglers, comedians, adult-themed entertainers, and lots more. Kids parties, corporate events, social events, graduations, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, trade shows, conventions, and Christmas parties are a lot more fun when there is live entertainment to keep guests entertained and in high spirits. Entertainers can be employed as contractors working on an on-call basis, and can be paid by way of revenue-sharing; the range of 60/40 in the entertainer's favor is the industry standard. Promote the service by running advertisements in your local newspaper and in the Yellow Pages, as well as by contacting wedding planners and event planners in your community and explaining the various types of entertainers your service provides, as well as rates. This service can easily be managed from home, and start-up costs are modest, with the bulk of the budget being spent on business setup and marketing to get the telephone ringing with eager customers wanting to book acts for their special occasions and events.

Mohammed Omer, an award-winning Palestinian journalist was interrogated and beaten by armed Israeli security guards on his way back home to Gaza after receiving the prestigious Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism in London in July of 2008, and Ayman Mohyeldin, the Gaza correspondent for Al Jazeera English, who was one of the only international journalists reporting from inside Gaza during the 22-day Israeli assault last year.
