Reba McEntire, Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker, Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban are set to perform at the 2010 CMA Music Festival in Nashville, organizers said.
CMA Music Festival is described as "a unique celebration of the relationship between Country Music artists and their fans in the heart of Music City USA."
"The artists participate for free, and in appreciation, CMA donates half the net proceeds of the festival to support music education in Metro Nashville Public Schools through the Keep the Music Playing program," CMA said in a news release.
"To date, $3,312,053 has been donated to purchase musical instruments and supplies, providing thousands of Metro Nashville Public Schools students with the resources and opportunities they could not have afforded on their own, and giving many of them a strong reason to remain in school."

WGN America, the national cable network formerly known as a Chicago super-station, has announced today that it will be launching a major rebranding effort that will shift the channel's focus to original programming.
"We're transitioning from a network with regional roots to one with a true national identity, driven by provocative, brand-defining programming of the highest quality," said said network president Matt Cherniss. "With this relaunch and our expanded portfolio of original content, we expect to significantly strengthen our position as a destination for viewers."
ALSO: IFC changes name to IFC
The network's parent company, Tribune Media, is giving WGN America a new logo and a renewed promotional campaign to establish it as a top tier cable network.
To get the ball rolling, the network announced today that it has ordered a pair of scripted dramas: "Salem," to premiere Sunday, April 20, 2014, and "Manhattan," to start production in New Mexico in March for a July 2014 premiere.
"Salem" reexamines the infamous witch trials in 17th century Massachusetts, while "Manhattan" is set in New Mexico and deals with the race to build the world's first atomic bomb.
The network has also ordered a 10-part miniseries based on "Ten Commandments" that will be produced by The Weinstein Company.
"We want our series to transport the audience to worlds that they have never experienced and tell big, operatic stories that entice and entertain," added Cherniss. "We've harnessed some incredible talent to depict these worlds in a way that highlights the universalities in human nature that bind us all."

J. Clarence Davies's interview begins with a discussion of his education, and his uncertainty over whether to become an activist or academic. He settled on becoming a professor of public administration, but realized he wanted to have experience working in government. Davies briefly worked at the Office of Management and Budget as the examiner for the environment, where he found himself continually bombarded by chemical crises. He returned to academia, where he wrote an influential book on pollution and chemical regulation, The Politics of Pollution, but was quickly drawn back to government work. Davies soon became involved with the Ash Council, creating the Environmental Protection Agency. Once at the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), he was asked to draft a proposal for a chemical regulation policy; the legislation underwent several iterations as it proceeded through the administration and Congress. Although it eventually passed, it ended up severely weakened. After his time at the CEQ, Davies continued to work on the regulation of chemicals at several non-profit organizations and at the EPA.
Throughout the interview Davies discussed the difficulties in implementing the Toxic Substances Control Act. These included: reaching consensus on the definition of unreasonable risk; developing criteria for risk-assessment; the lack of toxicity data the legislation was able to procure; and crafting testing rules. He also emphasized the legal constraints within TSCA that hindered creating an effective chemicals control policy and the long overdue need for TSCA reform. Davies concluded the interview by commenting on the fact that a new European chemicals policy and increased regulatory activity among the States, as well as attention from prominent environmental groups, has driven the current TSCA reform process. According to Davies, the most important elements of TSCA to address in reform will be the burden of proof in TSCA, the way new chemicals are treated and defined, a re-emphasis on the cross-media capabilities of TSCA, and confidential business information.

Compounding calculates the future value of figures to account for interest or consistent growth. For example, using the compounding formula enables you to estimate the return at a future time, based on present-day information. Discounting is the opposite of compounding and calculates the present value of a figure, based on its future value. The logic behind discounting is that a payment you expect in the future isn't worth the same as a payment today, so discounting enables you to factor in influences like inflation.
Step 1
Add 1 to the interest or growth rate. As an example, if your business steadily grows by 10 percent each year, add 1 to 0.1 to get 1.1.
Step 2
Raise this figure to the nth power, where "n" is the number of years in the future. In the example, if you wanted to project your current return to see what it may be in five years, raise 1.1 to the power of 5 to get 1.61.
Step 3
Multiply the result by the present value to calculate the future value. Continuing with the example, if your present annual return is $100,000, multiply $100,000 times 1.61 to calculate an expected annual return of $161,000 in five years.
Step 1
Add 1 to the discount rate. A common discount rate is the rate of inflation. If the current rate of inflation is 1.8 percent, add 1 to 0.018 to get 1.018.
Step 2
Raise this figure to the nth power, where "n" is the number of years between the future and present values. Continuing with the example, if a client offered to pay you in five years, raise 1.018 to the power of 5 to get 1.093.
Step 3
Divide the future value by the result. If your client offered to pay you $10,000 in five years, divide $10,000 by 1.093 to calculate the present value of $9,149. This means that a $9,149 payment today is effectively the same as a $10,000 payment in five years.

The Painting and Drawing emphasis takes a contemporary approach that works to integrate painterly and drawing concerns with focused artistic practice and developing critical dialog. As a studio discipline, painting and drawing is as rich in visual arts history as it is charged with contemporary innovation. Painting and drawing as a studio practice encourages a multi-faceted dialogue within this continuum. Students are introduced to a variety of techniques and ideas, exposed to several art-historical and contemporary art practices, and are challenged to develop a studio process that involves both formal and conceptual impact. Painting and drawing classes are interdisciplinary in that they allow the use of multiple materials and techniques in the production of a successful art piece or body of work. Students come away with a strong studio skill base, an engaged conceptual framework, and an ability to take part in the exciting discourse of contemporary painting and drawing.
Please see our Painting and Drawing program brochure and Curriculum Advising Form for more information and program details.

Objectivity obsolete in sports social media
In communications today, objectivity should no longer be the goal for traditional journalists. Traditional journalists – those who write for newspapers and major online news organizations – have largely abandoned that notion when they migrated to social media.
In the sports world, it is even more pronounced. It should not come as a surprise; for years, many beat reporters have rationalized their objectivity even as they voted for MVPs, Hall of Fame candidates and participated in college and high school polls.
A few papers did not participate in this charade. The New York Times does not allow its reporters to cast such votes and I banned the practice at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution when I became sports editor there.
But the objectivity discussion has become obsolete in this social media age.
This topic generated several discussions this week during my visit to Wichita State University for its annual Comm Week. Professors and students wanted to know if today's reporters are not objective, then what should their goal be?
Before we answer that question, lets look at what has happened to objectivity in sports reporting.
When sports reporters crossed over (apologies to John Edwards) to the online world, they discovered they needed to engage readers. And what many readers wanted was inside information and access.
And many readers started asking reporters what they thought about this player, or that call, or that draft choice. In the spirit of engagement, they started answering those questions.
And along the way, they developed different standards for different platforms. Reporters will tweet something they would never post to a blog. And they will blog about stuff that would never make it into print.
I'm not arguing this is a bad thing, just that it is. The problem is that reporters do not see how this erodes objectivity as surely as voting in this week's football poll. The problem is compounded by reporters and editors who cling to the notion that they are being objective and do not have different standards for online vs. print.
I wrote about how the Cleveland Plain Dealer removed a long-time beat writer from covering the team after a tweet he posted by mistake revealed his opinion about the team's owner. But that same paper had no problem when he tweeted who he voted for the NFC Defensive Player of the Year – weeks before the offending tweet cost him his beat.
Reporters shouldn't be objective.
To answer the question of what the goal should be – if its not to be objective – I suggest getting to the truth.
As every player, team and league has joined the journalism ranks by producing content and engaging its fans on its platforms (full disclosure: this includes my employer, the NCAA), there remains a need for traditional journalists to sift through all that content and provide perspective, analysis and, yes, their version of the truth.
But not objectivity. They do not possess it, so why try to pretend to embrace it on some platforms, some of the time.
In this age, where literally everyone thinks he or she is a journalist, the need for strong reporting, thoughtful perspectives and watchdog investigative stories will become more valuable as readers search for unique content they can't get anywhere else. These kind of stories all strive to get at the truth, which in most cases requires more work than merely quoting two sides of an issue and labeling it an objective story.
Digging into how the legal system failed the victims in the Jerry Sandusky case requires significant – and very different – journalistic skills than pulling together an objective piece that quotes people disagreeing on the severity of the penalties levied against the school.
One article strives for the truth. The other is objective. Both should be written, that is not the point.
Which would you rather read? Which one moves the public dialogue forward and could lead to substantive change?
As the students at Wichita State study how journalism works today, which approach should be their goal?
Ronnie Ramos is the managing director of digital communications for the NCAA. Before that, he spent 25 years as a newspaper reporter and editor, splitting his time between news and sports at five newspapers, including The Miami Herald and Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Follow him on Twitter.

'Certain traditions form around certain figures that appear in the Gospels,'" says Adam Becker, assistant professor of religious studies at New York University. "'Those figures are tools for having conversations about certain issues. Later Christian conversations about him, which this play is an example of, use him as a tool to help us think. Judas is a tool for discussions of betrayal, free will, and providence.'" —Benedicta Cipolla talks to Revealer contributor Adam Becker — and other scholars — about Stephen Adly Guirgis' play The Last Days of Judas Iscariot, directed by Philip Seymour Hoffman at the Public Theater, right across the street from The Revealer.

BOULDER – Coaches want no part of living in the past and Linda Lappe likes her present address just fine, thank you. What's not to like anyway? Her Colorado women's basketball team is unbeaten (9-0) and ranked No. 11 in the weekly AP top 25 and No. 14 in the USA Today Sports/WBCA (coaches) poll.
But even if residing in the past is taboo, revisiting it is acceptable – which Lappe is doing a little of this week. Her Buffs leave for Louisville, Ky., on Friday to play the No. 7 Cardinals on Saturday. It's a holiday rematch that both programs and their fans have been anticipating.
Last December, the Cards made the trek west, visiting Boulder on Dec. 14 and leaving with a 70-66 loss. At the time, Louisville was ranked No. 8, and CU's win marked its first against a top 10 opponent since the 2002 season. As a result, the Buffs moved into the top 25 the following week, entering the AP poll at No. 25.
From then until now – or for 21 consecutive polls – CU has been ranked, marking the women's program's lengthiest run since a streak of 27 straight poll appearances from Jan. 22, 2001 through the last poll of the 2001-02 season.
Lappe likes the attention for her team, but truth be known, she's as much into polls and rankings as she is into taking long looks back. Which is to say, not very much. But Lappe concedes there are several points worth reviewing from the Buffs' 2012 win against the Cards, starting with Louisville guard Shoni Schimmel's lack of points.
Entering the Coors Events Center with a 12.1 point average, Schimmel was held to four points on 2-of-12 shooting. The defensive lockdown was accomplished primarily by Brittany Wilson, who said this following the game: "I knew I wanted to shut down an All-Big East All-American. I had the team's help. It was just a great thing to be able to shut her down and not let her score in the first half and not let her score until the last four minutes of the game. It was a great day."
One of them could have a great Saturday. Schimmel is back, Wilson is back. Schimmel is averaging a team-high 14.7 points this season, and I'm guessing she has had a few challenges tossed her way – including several from herself – for the rematch.
If the Buffs clamped down on Schimmel in Boulder, they had no such success against her backcourt partner. Antonita Slaughter scored a team-high 19 points, grabbed five rebounds and made two steals. She and Schimmel were primed for their senior years until Slaughter was diagnosed earlier this month with a blood clot in her lung that will sideline her for the rest of the season.
But Louisville will have a key player in Saturday's lineup that was missing when the Cardinals came to Boulder. A death in her family prompted 6-2 forward Sara Hammond's absence in last season's game, and Louisville undoubtedly missed her. She's now averaging 11.0 points and 6.5 rebounds (tied for the team high).
Is Slaughter's absence and Hammond's return any kind of a tradeoff for the Buffs?
"Who knows?" Lappe said. "Hammond is a good player . . . they do a lot of things for her to be able to score. She's a tough matchup for most teams because she's inside/outside. She can shoot the outside shot, she goes inside, she's strong. Yeah, she's a tough matchup but so is Slaughter. It's just a shame for her about the blood clot, but they're still really solid without her."
The Buffs held the Cardinals to 36.4 percent shooting from the field last season and limited them to only three 3-pointers in 19 tries. Schimmel has hit 34 of her 91 trey attempts this season (37.4 percent) and among CU's goals this weekend will be to not allow Schimmel to "go off" from beyond the arc. Or, said Lappe, simply "keep her from average in terms of her scoring. But she does so much more for them – she's a great passer and she provides fire for them . . .
"When it comes down to it, she's going to be a key to the game, for sure, as is Hammond. But they have a lot of players who can score. They're very much like us. At the end of the day it's not about one player for them or for us. We've got to do a great job of defending all of their players."
One of the reasons for Louisville's low field goal percentage here last season was CU center Rachel Hargis making it difficult for the Cardinals to reach the rim. The 6-4 Hargis blocked a career-high seven shots to go with her seven points. Said Lappe: "That's how it's going to have to be this time – don't let them get anything easy, make them work for everything inside."
At game's end, after CU had watched a 13-point lead evaporate in the final 3 minutes and Louisville had crept to within 68-66 in the last 11 seconds, the Buffs needed a superb Jen Reese put-back of a missed free throw to escape. Reese finished with 11 points and this season is one of four Buffs averaging in double figures, with a team-best 13.5.
Since returning from a one-game absence after suffering a smack to the head/face that broke her nose, Reese has averaged 17 points in her last two games. She's wearing a protective mask, something she wasn't counting on this season after spending last season in protective goggles after suffering a broken orbital bone.
But, said Lappe, Reese has accepted misfortune and moved on, even personalizing her mask. "She's named it 'Jason,'" Lappe said with a laugh. "She can't catch a break . . . her face is a magnet, I think. The good thing about Jen, though, is that most people dread wearing a mask. Jen can see ten times better in the mask than in the goggles.
"I think she looks at it as being better than the goggles. They're not fogging up all the time, she can see, they're not in her line of vision. It's all how you look at things, I guess. I've been really impressed with her maturity in wearing the mask. Most players would feel sorry for themselves, they don't like how it looks – all those things. She's really stepped up the plate and become a mature kid in looking at the mask as something she has to wear to play. I know she would rather not wear it, but she understands it's a necessary evil."
Already nationally ranked as opposed to last December, the Buffs don't need a win Saturday to initiate a climb into the top 25. Still, it would be an undeniable resume builder for March and the NCAA Tournament.
Lappe will acknowledge that much, but adds, "It's still early in the season; we've got the whole (Pac-12) conference season to go. So a lot of things can happen. We try not to put one game ahead of all the others in terms of what's at stake. We try to keep every game in perspective. Louisville will do that with this game as well. It's kind of what women's college basketball is all about . . . you'll have two good teams playing before Christmas.
"But we won't look at it as a make-or-break game for us. If we win, it's not going to make our season, if we lose it's not going to hurt our season. But we will learn a lot, and that's important at this time of the year – learning who you are, starting to learn your strengths and weaknesses . . . it'll give us a different look at some of those things that maybe we haven't been able to see quite yet."
One of those things will be a crowded, hostile house. At 9-1 with its lone loss to rival Kentucky (69-64), Louisville is averaging 7,622 and has drawn crowds of 8,099 for LSU and 10,045 for Florida State. Lappe expects more than 10,000 on Saturday to show up and shower the Buffs with holiday warmth – or something to that effect.
"It's going to be a good environment. They'll have a lot of fans . . . it's going to be loud, it's going to be fun," she said.
Whatever else it's going to be, well, that's up to the Buffs.

Vermut Priorat Natur
This is, by far, the sexiest vermouth we have tasted! Grapes from the Spanish Priorat region have been selected, harvested, and infused with indigenous herbs and aromatics. The result is a fragrant and smooth vermouth that can easily be enjoyed all by itself.
The infusion is made from different aromatic herbs that have been macerating for over a year in oak barrels, with proportions from their ancestor's original. After one year in oak, a small amount of the "young" vermouth is added to the barrel of "old" vermouth, where it rests for another year before being bottled. Bottling is done in small quantities at a time. Only 700 cases are made every year.
In addition to the herbal infusion, on the second level appears an aroma of aged wood, the earth just after a rain, truffle and honey. The original blend provokes surprising sensations to the senses. On the palate it is balanced, with just enough sweetness to compliment the accompanying characteristic bitter citrus. A good match with anything salty or savory, especially with appetizers. The traditional tapas from this region however are olives, and salty nuts. Serve in small pours with 2 ice cubs, cold. Or try it with rye whiskey for a classic Manhattan.
Rotllan Torra Priorat
Priorat is a small and relatively new Denominacion in Spain's rugged and mountainous north east. This high altitude wine growing area is known for its unique terroir of black slate and quartz and yields elegant and structured blends based on the varietal Grenache. It is one of only two wine regions in Spain to qualify as DOCa, the highest qualification level for a wine region according to Spanish wine regulations, alongside Rioja DOCa.
This Priorat delivers both Old World and New World characteristics, offering an approachable fruit-driven profile. Licorice and dark cherry fruit aromas fill the glass while velvety tannins add weight and texture on the palate. $18.99
The 2006 vintage earned 90 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate!

You use the in game editor that came with the game (If you got it legally), but from that I don't know.

In my game 2nd season in they are not in the BSN/BSS
As said above, check a thread called Dafuge's challenge. It shows you to run the game through, to June 24th IIRC, then save it. You can then keep reloading that save, just advancing by a day and checking the BSN, as that's the day the promotions / relegations take place for the English leagues.
Actually, having just looked on that thread, which is:
there is a link to this file, which I've added for you below. It is a save game already created for you. Download that, then run through - I haven't checked it but I guess it loads at the day before promotions.
I would also suggest that you load the .DDT file Dafuge has created. This will populate your team, otherwise they will mainly be "greys" and not real players. Full instructions are in the thread above.
Hope this helps.

One final thing - if you do download the save game (.fm), you MAY have to reload it a few times, but they are normally one of the sides promoted first time so it will only take you a few minutes. If it were me, though, I'd create my own save - you can specify the leagues you want to load, database size etc., to tailor to your own wishes/pc specs - create a manager (start as unemployed) and then holiday, specifying the correct return date, which I checked is 24/06/09, then save the game.
You can then reload to your heart's delight to get the team you want, even using it at a later date if you fancy another team.
Obviously it depends on the specs of your PC, leagues you load and database size you specify, but a year's holiday can be surprisingly quick. For instance, when I did it I specified Large DB, All English leagues and used the .DDT file(which does add a little), and OK I have a top spec PC, but it only took me 45 mins to do.
I haven't checked but I think on Dafuge's Challenge post (as in my previous post), there is actually a link to an FC United save, that will have real players created, BUT it will only have English leagues loaded, as that is the rule of the challenge.
BTW - sorry for the long posts, but it's 4:15 in the morning and I haven't anything to do today!!!

From the parallel opening sequences of Clint Eastwood as a fake reverend and Jeff Bridges slickering a used car salesman, we savvy film folk know instantly that 1974's THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTFOOT, now on limited edition Blu-Ray from Twilight Time/20th Century-Fox Home Entertainment/MGM Studios, Inc., is a movie about the pros and cons (mostly cons) of disguise.
Indeed, this starling directorial debut of cinema's notorious enfant terrible Michael Cimino (who also penned the screenplay) never stops playing with this theme. Throughout the course of this odyssey of golden fleecing the various characters resort to numerous masquerades, including building contractors, factory workers, ice-cream salesmen and even, in Bridges' case, a cross-dresser.
Hey, folks, this ain't your dumb Seventies action picture; well, it is – but that's only on a superficial level. Careful analytical observation reveals much more than meets the peepers. Truth be told, THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTFOOT is an incredibly modern motion picture – deadly serious in its sadistically sardonic view of post-Viet Nam America. For one thing, the pic unveils the country's growing obsession with gun culture; everybody seems to matter-of-factly be packing. Firepower supremacy has never been so easily and effortlessly obtained or attained. Even the simplicity with which the pic's quartet of thieves purchase and construct a high-tech mega-cannon (a weapon which I'm convinced is even illegal for the military to own) is a feat performed with t'aint-nuthin'-to-it nonchalance. Violence has become liberty's enviable calling card, never more defined as when Bridges' attempt to woo a beauteous biker is stymied by her literally hammering his van. "I think I love you!" he yells with emotion worthy of a Shakespearean sonnet...or Warren Beatty looking into a mirror.
THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTFOOT chronicles the misadventures of the two title teammates and their search for hidden loot (stolen years earlier) supposedly safely ensconced in a little red rural schoolhouse. But, alas, the schoolhouse no longer exists. Now, in a perfect world (the adage and not that other Eastwood picture), that would be the end of it, save two other participants in the robbery (vicious maniac George Kennedy and his goofy sidekick Geoffrey Lewis) believe otherwise. They think Clint's been holding out; to appease the murderous buffoons, the four embark on a new heist, an unholy partnership if ever there was one.
How this is achieved becomes the complex multi-leveled narrative for this vastly underrated dissection of what we laughingly call the values system.
There are numerous standout sequences in this epic thug-of-war, but three which I must mention. The robbery of a middle-aged couple's car is of note, as the husband is a traveling apparel salesman. And what can be worse than stealing the "happening" wardrobe from someone residing in the mid-1970s? The subsequent shots of Eastwood and Bridges, adorned in various examples of Gerald Ford-era threads, comprise the worst Hollywood montage of sartorial splendor since the Oscars.
Two remaining segments are firmly etched in my memory from the time I originally saw this movie in a 42nd grindhouse (where, I believe it was paired with a battered print of Carlo Lizzani's 1966 spaghetti western The Hills Run Red; talk about win/win!). First, there's the celebrated scene of Kennedy and Lewis as bad humor ice cream hustlers; when a precocious bespectacled lad questions their selection, an enraged Kennedy growls back "Fuck-a-duck!" This brought the full-house to its knees back in 1974, as the audience exploded with laughter. According to Cimino, it did the same during filming resulting in multiple takes (as the cast and crew couldn't stop breaking up). Dagnabbit, we be so refined! Ah, screw it, I still think it's funny.
The second portion I so vividly recall was the bit where hitchhiking Eastwood and Bridges hook up with a pickup-driving redneck. In keeping with the scenario's cruel intentions, this country boy is electroshock light years far removed from the accommodating Joads of yore. LSS, he's roaring psychopath, prone to a-hootin' an' a-hollerin' horrific threats; this becomes especially frightening when he backs up his tirades by releasing a trunk full of white rabbits, which he promptly begins to fire upon (and, oh, did we mention his rabid raccoon?). This initially had me shamefully double-taking more than Alan Hale. It apparently had a likewise effect on Cimino and Eastwood, as the cracker's rhetoric, freakishly spouted by the great Bill McKinney, was largely improvised (McKinney was duly rewarded by becoming a member of Eastwood's stock company, appearing in another seven popcorn-munchers).
THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTFOOT's male camaraderie often plays like a May-December Valentine, indicative of a bromance a la Howard Hawks. Their Bonnie and Clyde respect for each other and their "craft" is yet another unusual aspect of this unusual bloody-buddy excursion, again far transcending a surface assessment that it's merely a Larry the Cable Guy version of The Ladykillers. For me, the primary attraction was the title itself – recalling the famed Irish legend of authentic 19th-century rogue captains Thunderbolt and Lightfoot; to be precise, I was essentially intrigued less by the historical connection and more of the cinematic nod to Douglas Sirk's Captain Lightfoot, a 1955 CinemaScope adventure, costarring Rock Hudson and Jeff Morrow (which I champion to the hilt). Suffice to say, Cimino has loaded the 114 minute running time with a plethora of movie references and in-jokes.
Eastwood, known for his generosity as an actor and superstar, early-on gave Cimino the greenlight to toss the picture to the youthful Bridges. It paid off, garnering the thespian pup a Best Supporting Actor nomination (extremely unusual for a movie of this type). Interestingly enough, Cimino recalled that Bridges gave him the only heebie-jeebie experience in the production. The night before filming began a nervous Bridges approached the novice director, insisting that he be allowed to bow out...that he was unsure whether or not he could perform the task. Cimino, in a bravado performance, refused to accept, finally convincing the actor that he WAS that character, that it was written for him...that no one else could do it justice. Feeling his confidence restored, Bridges returned to his bed; Cimino ran to the bathroom, where he spent the tail end of the wee hours throwing up in anxiety-fueled insecurity.
Otherwise the filming went fairly smoothly and quickly – two standard Eastwood prerequisites. Cimino does admit that several times while on location Eastwood would question the camera set-ups. "Hey, don't you think it would be better to maybe shoot it from this angle?" The director would ponder the suggestion, and reply with a diplomatic, "That would be good, but I kinda had it worked out this way." Clint would smile, nod and move on – no doubt a test to keep the filmmaker in check (and one that Philip Kaufman would later, for this and many other reasons, fail). Of course, part of Eastwood's charm is his unique strangeness. THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTFOOT would be the first Eastwood picture where the star repeatedly smiled, thus letting down his patented expressionless demeanor (which, of course, would add to the show's obsession with disguises). Apparently, this extended to a Denver sneak screening, where, in order to view the movie incognito, Eastwood, rather than duck in after the lights went down, attended wearing a Groucho mask.
Eastwood was pleased enough with THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTFOOT to offer its writer-director a multi-picture deal. Cimino graciously turned him down, preferring to go his own way – paving the path to The Deer Hunter and (insert foreboding music here) Heaven's Gate.
The reviews for THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTFOOT were modestly supportive (as if the critics almost got it), although, not surprisingly, some, like Rex Reed, savaged it mercilessly ("a demented exercise in Hollywood hackery").
What particularly irked Eastwood, who coproduced the THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTFOOT through his Malpaso company, was UA's handling of the picture. They obviously didn't get it – treating the end result like just another nabe actioner. He vowed he would never make another movie for the studio (a promise he has fastidiously kept).
The Twilight Time Blu-Ray of THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTFOOT demands discussion, as it's likely the best quality you'll ever see on this title. Back in 1974, the movie looked to me like just another example of the deteriorating attention to cinematography. Even though the Panavisioned framing of Frank Stanley concurrently depicted a bleak, but still startling Montana landscape, the DeLuxe hues highlighted what I then referred to as Civil War Color (everything rendered in either blue or gray). While I'm sure the Times Square theater wasn't providing projection indicative of the best of industry standards, I simply sloughed it off to "the way it is from now on," and was happy to merely survive the afternoon without someone sticking a shiv in my side. This new 1080p transfer is a sleek, honey of a ride (not unlike Bridges' convertible), crystal-clear with often praiseworthy displays of color and tone. I mean it isn't Technicolor, but it isn't Drecknacolor either. Hey, you wanna know what I'm talking about – access the trailer; that's pretty much the way I remember my Deuce movies! The mono track is fine, and nicely replicates the jazzy sound of Clint fave Dee Barton's score (available as a separate IST). For those relishing further background info on this pic, there's a rather enticing second audio commentary by flicker scholars Julie Kirgo, Nick Redman and Lem Dobbs. And if that's not enough for you, you can – well, what was it George Kennedy said...?

Randall Hartzog, Theatre Memphis, Director of Marketing and Communications announces in a press release,
"Respect Is Paid to Death of a Salesman at Theatre Memphis
Memphis, TN – Death of a Salesman, Arthur Miller's Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning drama comes to life on the Lohrey Stage at Theatre Memphis January 24 – February 9, 2014. Willy Loman, one of the most famous characters in the history of the American theater, is a tortured soul hoping for a better life for his wife and sons. Reconciliation and forgiveness will come at a price as a secret is revealed … changing all their lives. In this American classic piece of theater a working class family stands divided.
Director Tony Isbell has blogged about the process of putting together such an iconic production. On Broadwayworld.com he talks of the approach of beginning such a feat and will take it through the opening night. He first questions himself, "Did I have any fresh insights to bring to the show?" and "Would enough people turn out to audition…?" There was a moment's hesitation to agree to the role of directing, but the opportunity far outweighed the concerns.
Further in his blog Isbell states, "Having made my decision, the first order of business was to have auditions." He continues, "Not only did I have the 'right' people, I had that problem that every director both wants and dreads: I had to make choices…." Executive Producer at TheatreMemphis Debbie Litch singles out Isbell as a director who attracts talent. "Tony has a great reputation for quality work. It is so important to Theatre Memphis to have that quality in a director which actors choose to work with on a complicated, dramatic piece. We couldn't be happier with the cast."
Starring in the role of the lead, Willy Loman, is James Dale Green, a veteran Memphis actor who last was seen on the TM stage as the blind man in Young Frankenstein. The two roles could not be more different than comedy and drama itself but the range of work from Green has proven his abilities. Playing Willy's wife, Linda, is Janie Paris (who has portrayed the role twice before), and the sons Biff and Happy are played by accomplished actors John Moore and Greg Earnest, respectively. The cast rounds out with Jody Kostner, Shannon Leonard, Timothy Burke, Jim Palmer, Matthew Hamner, Rachel A. Strickland, Chad Hoy, Elliott Heck and Jamie Broadway."
Showtimes: Thursdays @ 7:30pm, Fridays and Saturdays @ 8pm with matinees @ 2pm on Sundays. Tickets are $25 adults, $15 students with valid ID. For more information, and purchase of tickets, go to Theatre Memphis, or call the box office at 901-682-8323.

Driving Skills Test Administered by a Designated Examiner
Effective Nov. 1, 2012, 47 OS 6-110.D authorizes any certified Driver Education instructor, who is currently employed by any school district or commercial driver training school, to apply to become a Designated Examiner to administer the skills portion of the driving test. Anyone who has completed a driver education course from a public, private or parochial school or a commercial driver education school may choose to take their driving skills test from one of these designated examiners for a fee or you may still take your test from DPS at no charge.
If you have taken your driving skills test from one of the certified designated examiners listed below, you still must visit one of our DPS Driver License Exam offices in order to get the paperwork necessary to have your restriction #9 removed from your learner permit. You may now make an appointment using the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety's new online appointment scheduler. The Inline Online system will allow you to schedule a time to come to DPS to get your paperwork that you will need to take to your local Tag Agent to issue your driver license. You will need to bring the DPS form (DL-10DE) that the designated examiner gave you when you passed your test.

Giveaway: SwaddleDesigns Swaddle Duo ~ Holiday Guide 2011 (closed)
December 15, 2011 by Rajee
Filed under Baby Products, Baby Gear, Contests, Giveaways, Health, Holiday Gift Ideas & Gift Guide 2011, NewBorn, Infant & Toddlers, Product Review, Rafflecopter, Safety, Shop
SwaddleDesigns® is introducing the SwaddleDuo™ offers two premium, yet different, baby soft cotton swaddling blankets – two swaddle blankets in a wonderful gift box:
· The Ultimate Receiving Blanket® is a lightweight premium cotton flannel blanket – for moderate to cooler environmental temperatures
· The Marquisette Swaddling Blanket® is a very lightweight openweave cotton blanket – for warmer environmental temperatures
With the SwaddleDuo, parents will be prepared for a variety of environmental settings – cool, moderate and warm.
SwaddleDesigns Cotton Marquisette is similar to muslin but is made from premium quality yarns.
SwaddleDesigns Cotton Flannel is made from premium preshrunk domestic cotton. I love these two blankets come together in a gift box. We don't know whether the baby is getting too hot or too cold when he sleeps in his crib at night. It's great way to learn the importance of temperature awareness to prevent he risk of SIDS. You can find more information in "The SwaddleDesigns Goldilocks Guide™ that gives the importance of keeping baby comfortably warm.
SwaddleDesigns strives to help new parents care for their baby by providing accurate and up-to-date information, so parents can may make informed choices. SwaddleDesigns Safe Sleep Program includes recommendations from the AAP and the NIH as the company strives to increase awareness of Safe Sleep practices and help parents reduce risk of SIDS.
No worries if you are new to swaddle. You can easily learn illustrated step by step swaddle instructions "How to Swaddle" and more information regarding sleeping environments and the benefits of swaddling.
SwaddleDuo available in 17 styles with MSRP of $38 http://www.swaddledesigns.com/c/Swaddle-Duo/SD00
According to leading SIDS researchers, both overheating AND overchilling are risk factors for SIDS. In addition, it's important for parents to understand that when baby is too cool during sleep, baby will use valuable energy to stay warm instead of growing and thriving. Over the past few years some juvenile product companies have over focused on overheating as a SIDS risk factor, and there has been a lack of balanced conversation regarding insufficient thermal insulation – the danger of baby being too cool – as a risk factor for SIDS. It is time for a balanced information where parents are educated and reminded of their important responsibility to make sure baby is not too hot or too cold, but comfortably warm.
Founded by Lynette Damir, RN, in 2002, SwaddleDesigns was the first company to introduce the large square swaddling blanket to the US and many countries around the world. SwaddleDesigns is known for their premium quality fabric, fabulous colors and prints, decorative edge, and the innovative 123 Swaddle® instructional label that helps new parents master the art of swaddling. SwaddleDesigns swaddling blankets are perfect for swaddling and have many uses such as a privacy throw for breastfeeding moms, a tummy time play mat and a cover over the stroller.

A Dodge City Globe reporter was found in contempt and fined $1,000 a day after she failed to show up at an inquisition to answer questions about a story she wrote.
Claire O'Brien on Wednesday was ordered to appear at a
rescheduled inquisition on Friday. At that hearing, she would have
the opportunity to hire an independent lawyer to represent her.
Prosecutors are seeking O'Brien's notes from her interview with
a suspect in a Labor Day shooting that left one man dead and
another wounded.
Globe Managing Editor Gene Lehmann says the paper was "taken
aback" when O'Brien didn't show up for Wednesday's hearing. He
says newspaper leaders will meet with O'Brien Wednesday to discuss
how to proceed.

NEW YORK, NY (CNNMoney) - First, Sbarro. Now, Quiznos.
Quiznos has filed for bankruptcy protection, five days after the Sbarro pizza chain did the same.
Executives at the restaurant chain, known for its toasted sandwiches, agreed to a restructuring plan that will reduce its debt by more than $400 million, the company said in a statement Friday.
All but seven of Quizno's 2,100 restaurants in the United States and 30 other countries are independently owned franchises, and will remain open and operating as usual.
CEO Stuart Mathis said the company will take action to help increase sales and profits for its franchise owners going forward. It will look to reduce food costs, invest in local advertising and, in some circumstances, make loans available for restaurant improvements.

Kevin Costner
Lynwood, California
"I'm happy about the things I've done. Not always happy about the results, but happy about the decisions, because I made them myself. And I think that's an important way to go through life."
- Kevin Costner
Kevin Costner is a globally recognized superstar who has appeared in such blockbusters as No Way Out, Field of Dreams and JFK. He's also an Oscar-winning filmmaker with titles like Dances with Wolves and Open Range under his belt, which has effectively assured his entry into an elite club of actors who've seamlessly stepped behind the camera.
Kevin Costner BiographyKevin Michael Costner was born on January 18, 1955, in Lynwood, California. The son of a welfare worker and an electrician, Kevin Costner was a popular kid who enthusiastically participated in a variety of sports -- though his decision to take piano lessons and sing in his church's choir also indicated a keen interest in music. It wasn't until he enrolled in California State University's business program that Kevin Costner first discovered his innate passion for acting, and although he landed a marketing job immediately upon his graduation, he nevertheless spent five nights a week studying performance at a nearby acting school.
After quitting his job and taking on bit parts in forgettable movies such as 1982's Chasing Dreams and 1983's Table for Five, Kevin Costner made his starring debut with 1984's box office flop The Gunrunner, which, though a critical and financial failure, proved that he had the charisma and natural talent required to carry a major motion picture. The following year, Kevin Costner lived up to his promise by taking on a central role in the popular coming-of-age comedy Fandango, and cemented his fame with a supporting part in the blockbuster western Silverado (in which he worked alongside familiar faces like Kevin Kline and Danny Glover).
kevin costner in dances with wolvesIn the years following, Kevin Costner kicked off an almost unprecedented run of globally successful box office bonanzas that assured his place within Hollywood's A-list, as the actor appeared in, among others, 1987's The Untouchables, 1988's Bull Durham and 1991's Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. He even stepped behind the camera in 1990 with the epic western Dances with Wolves, which, in addition to being his most profitable effort to date, eventually earned the actor-turned-filmmaker an Oscar for Best Director over prestigious nominees like Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola.
After working opposite Whitney Houston in the celebrated 1992 romance The Bodyguard, Kevin Costner appeared in a succession of poorly received endeavors that culminated with the epically unsuccessful action/adventure Waterworld. The movie, released in 1995, seemed to spell the end of Kevin Costner's cinematic career, with his second directorial effort, 1997's The Postman, only exacerbating the backlash that had enveloped the struggling performer.
kevin costner in open rangeHe nevertheless worked consistently over the next several years, appearing in movies as varied as 1999's Robin Wright Penn weeper Message in a Bottle, 2000's Cuban-missile-crisis drama Thirteen Days and the 2001 Elvis-centric actioner 3000 Miles to Graceland. It wasn't until he directed and starred in the critically acclaimed 2003 western Open Range that Kevin Costner finally began to earn back the respect he had lost over the years, with his follow-up turn as an alcoholic former baseball player in 2005's The Upside of Anger winning the actor some of the best reviews of his career. Kevin Costner has since established himself as an inventive and downright prolific character actor, as he's shunned the traditional leading-man parts of his past in favor of roles of a markedly off-kilter nature (including his stint as a serial killer in 2007's Mr. Brooks and an apathetic schlub in 2008's Swing Vote).
Look for Kevin Costner in the upcoming thriller The New Daughter.

Looking for another reason why students need to learn how to harness social media?
How about in order to promote themselves to get a job.
We have been hearing for some time about controlling your digital footprint so that if recruiters are looking you up on Facebook or on your blog you will be able to make a positive impression. But now we are moving one step further on.
According to the story from the BBC:
"Fede Alvarez's short film "Ataque de Panico!" (Panic Attack!) featured giant robots invading and destroying Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay.
It is 4 mins 48 seconds long and has had more than 1.5 million views so far.
"I uploaded (Panic Attack!) on a Thursday and on Monday my inbox was totally full of e-mails from Hollywood studios," he told the BBC's Latin American service BBC Mundo.
"It was amazing, we were all shocked."
I have heard similar stories about authors and photographers emerging from the chaff pile that other sites such as fanfiction.net and flickr can be.
Amazing people, rising to the top of globally connected creative industries.
Professions such as this no longer care where you ar emerging from. This producer did not have to travel and live in Hollywood or Bollywood to get his films made. Instead he stayed where he was and perfected his craft. This had nothing to do with geography or chance, it had to do with talent.
There are lessons here for schools and students. Allow students to be creative and put their work out to the world for open public critique. Allow them to make connections with real people. Help them to build networks in areas that they want to become more creative and technically proficient in. Even if it is not an area of expertise for us or for our school, we can help students be connected to others who can critique their work, who can help them to improve their craft – whatever that may be. We do not need to be experts in the topic or the industry, we need to be experts in helping our students to be connected.
Another example of the web allowing us to rise beyond geography.
Here's the short film that began this story

Balistreri Vineyards offers a remarkably wide range of varietals and styles of wine at the Denver tasting room. It is a fun outing to go, taste and hear John Balistreri and his daughter Julie, talk of how they embarked on a successful wine making business. What was once the site for the family's carnation greenhouses, now serves as the location of a tasting room where the public can sample a generous selection of Colorado Balistreri wines. It is memorable. And you can leave with wine to enjoy later. Recently, we opened the The Little Feet Merlot and enjoyed its New World charms – each sip a powerful, flavorful fruit forward mouthful.
The Balistreris contract with grape growers on the Western Slope for more than eight different varietals, then haul deliveries to Denver to be crushed and made into wine. This method of wine making is representative of many ventures across the United States today. No longer are you required to be connected to the vineyard, hand selecting which grapes you plan to crush. Unlike many who use this new method, Balistreri imprints each varietal wine bottled with the name of the vineyard used for the barrel.
Balistreri sends wine to many competitions in the United States. And they have won many awards, in different categories. Just inside the tasting room door is a table full of bottles with medals won at international competitions. Even local competitions have bottles shipped back east for tasting by an international tasting panel that determines winners.
The Little Feet Merlots are interesting because the grapes are stomped by children at two harvest festivals. Balistreri Vineyard holds an annual Harvest Party, now in its seventh year, where children take off their shoes, wash feet, and stomp away. They also have another Little Feet Merlot made the same way at the Festival Italiano in Belmar. In tasting, one marvels at the wonderful flavor these tootsies add to the wine….
Although these fall events are some way off, you can go to a food and wine pairing event and barrel tasting in May. Perhaps, the event will serve as the perfect event to take Mom to as a Mother's Day present.
Balistreri Vineyards Annual Spring Barrel Tasting Dinner
May 13th, 14th, 15th & 16th, 2010

This wine tasting dinner is an excellent opportunity to meet a local winemaker, hear how they make their wines, and ask all your wine-making questions.

ANCESTRAL legacies and diverse Indonesian cultural products are becoming a collection of d'Topeng Kingdom Museum and have captivated the hearts of leaders and people, both nationally and internationally.
Aside from being captivated, not a few of them left a message in order the cultural preservation efforts could be well maintained. Some prominent figures that were enamored with the collection and idealism of the d'Topeng were Mrs. Ani Yudhoyono, Mrs. Herawati Boediono, Jero Wacik, Mari Elka Pangestu, Dewi Motik, Emil Salim, Mrs. Okka Hatta Rajasa, state delegates, Mrs. Ayu Pastika and others.
Although the support for d'Topeng to keep preserve the culture continued to flow, it also faced a few obstacles to overcome. Rapid growth of Bali tourism tending to give more emphases on commercial side became one of the problems. Moreover, location of d'Topeng Kingdom Museum on Jalan Setia Budi, the Simpang Siur, Kuta, was a very strategic area.
"We recognize that many challenges are faced in the development of d'Topeng. The idea of founding d'Topeng was initially thought a crazy idea because people are rarely desperate to establish a museum amidst the rapid development of tourist accommodation such as hotel, condotel and others. In addition, there are also parties interested in the location of d'Topeng to be converted into accommodation facilities," said Marketing Communication of d'Topeng Kingdom Museum Elly T. Halsamer. She said the obstacles should be faced as good as possible.
Idealism of d'Topeng was preserving the culture as it had been already embedded in the mind of its founder. Therefore, the existence of the museum should be maintained. (BTN/kmb)

The Herbst Academic Center will be a premier academic support unit for student-athletes by providing an unparalleled level of service in an inclusive community, defined by excellence in the areas of good academic standing, retention, and graduation rates.
Students who are varsity athletes experience college much differently than those who are not. Travel for competition in all sports interrupts regular study routines and class attendance. Additionally, when athletes are in town, team practices, weight training, film study, and scouting reports are consistently part of weekly coaching expectations. For these reasons, the Herbst Academic Center maintains a brisk flow of traffic in and out of its office space on the second floor of the Dal Ward Athletic Center. Academic Coordinators in the Herbst Center partner with campus Academic Advisors to assist students in putting together an academic schedule that progresses towards undergraduate degrees, yet still allows flexibility for athletes to be present for practices and competition.
In addition, the Herbst Center maintains 35 stations in the computer lab for use by athletes. Laptops can be checked out for overnight travel or weekend use. Subject tutors frequent the study areas, and computer lab in order to be accessible to student-athletes.
The Herbst Academic Center is named after Clancy A. Herbst, Jr., a former swimmer and student at the University of Colorado. Mr. Herbst has donated resources so that the academic center can provide each athlete with additional academic support while they compete and represent the University of Colorado.

The Baggies boss has labelled reports linking the Chelsea loanee with a permanent switch to the Capital One Cup winners as "idle gossip", and does not expect him to move to WalesWest Brom manager Steve Clarke has dismissed speculation that on-loan striker Romelu Lukaku could move to Swansea next season on a permanent deal.
|Romelu Lukaku is 9/2 with bet365 to score first against Newcastle
However, it had been reported that the Capital One Cup holders had stolen the march on West Brom in the race to sign the 19-year-old, who is currently on loan at the Hawthorns from Chelsea.
But Clarke has rubbished rumours that Lukaku could be attracted to the prospect of playing in the Europa League with Swansea, and does not believe he will move to the Liberty Stadium.
"It is idle gossip – it's lazy," Clarke told reporters.
"I read in the press he's going to Swansea – but I would be very surprised if he ends up there."
The Scottish boss admits there has been interest in his players, who have thrived this year and look set to finish in the top half of the table, but West Brom are determined to keep hold of their star players.
"We're not concerned about losing players," Clarke continued.
"It's a compliment. It means we've had a good season. But if anyone comes for our players they will have to pay a lot of money."
