If you haven't seen this nba commercial please have a look. It is awesome and includes players from the old time and current time, and on youtube it is titled the best NBA commercial ever? What it does is merge players from different generations and puts them on the court together so it looks like they are playing each other. Some of the scenes aren't great because of the video capabilities from a long time ago, but most of the scenes are really cool. I wish it wasn't a commercial promoting todays players an was just a commercial promoting the all time greats, but I understand what the NBA is doing. What I mean is, you see scenes with Andrew Bogut, Kevin Love, and other guys who aren't yet trancending generations. I would just like to see all legends of the game but that doesn't promote todays players.
Anyway, my favorite two scenes are one where Larry Bird comes down and throws the ball to Ray Allen and he buries a three. And the final scene, showing Derrick Rose and Michael Jordan giving each other dap.
So if you haven't seen it, have a quick look and tell me if you think its the best NBA commercial ever. And if you think its not, throw out a suggestion for what you think is the best one ever.

Now that the Oklahoma City Thunder have been knocked out of the playoffs, its time for them to make a coaching change if they ever want to have a chance to win the title with this group. I know that Russell Westbrook is out and if you read my other blogs you would see I ranked him as the second best point guard in the league. So I do understand what a huge loss it is for him to be out of the playoffs. The fact is that I have been calling for him to be fired for a couple years now and now it has been shown that he is not a good coach.
Why Should He Go?
Ok, so it seems from the outside that OKC has done better and better every year under Scott Brooks, and with a key injury this year its not his fault they aren't winning it all or getting to the finals. Wrong. Lets look at it from the other side. You have three young up and coming stars in Durant, Westbrook, and Harden. They are all in their early twenties and are just learning the game and learning how to win. So year by year they get better in the regular season and get further and further into the playoffs. How many teams with players that young make the finals? Very few. So you have to ask what Scott Brooks did to help them achieve more than they should have. And I say nothing. I see him adding no value. In fact I think he is somewhat of a joke. Last year during the season, they would have him miked up and he would say over and over, "We are a defensive team," and the team basically laughed at him. They gave up the most points in the NBA, and were clearly an offensive minded team. Second, what do they run down the stretch and in big spots? Nothing. They spread the court with Westbrook, and he dribbles and goes one on one. During this time Durant stands at the top of the key with his guy all over him with his hand up calling for the ball. If Westbrook passes it to him, then guess what he does? Goes one on one. There is no creativity, nothing new or different, to get his team a great look. Look at coaches like Doc Rivers and Gregg Popovich. Down the stretch they run great plays to get great looks. Off the top of my head I can think of a play where Pop had Ginobli inbound to Duncan at the elbow and pretend like he would run behind him for a 3 and then backdoored for an UNCONTESTED LAY UP in the last 10 seconds of a game. I can think of Doc Rivers having Garnett at the top of the key, and Paul Pierce posting up. While this is happening, Jeff Green loops around Garnett, and while Garnett appears to be looking at Pierce for a post up, Pierce actually sets a back screen for Green for a WIDE OPEN LAY UP to WIN THE GAME.
Next, lets look at what has happened since Westbrook went down. What adjustments have Brooks made since the injury? I see nothing. I see them running their awful one on one offense where they hope that Durant can score on 1, 2, or 3 defenders every possession. If I was him, I would have been running Durant off downscreens and double screens and pinch screens, instead of having him bring the ball up on every possession and trying to create vs multiple defenders. Also, how about making him a decoy? How about you run him off a bunch of screens and hit Collison or Ibaka on a slip for a layup. Never have I seen that. And with Westbrook out, it means that Durant has to score more, defend more, rebound more, and lead more. And Brooks is having him bring the ball up as well. This is a terrible idea. Bringing the ball up makes you more tired, and it brings the defensive focus to you. They are all in help side watching the ball and their man. If Durant were off the ball and came off screens then they couldn't focus all their attention on him, they would have to focus on the ball.
Lets look at their personnel. PG-Reggie Jackson vs Michael Conley-advantage Conley. Kevin Martin vs Tony Allen-advantage Martin. Kevin Durant vs Teyshaun Prince-advantage Durant. Serge Ibaka vs Marc Gasol-advantage very slightly to Gasol. Kendrick Perkins vs Zach Randolph-advantage Randolph. Bench-slight edge to Memphis. With all of this the difference comes down defense and how personnel is used. Memphis' defense is waaaaaaay better than OKC's. Serge Ibaka now stands on the perimeter and shoots jumpers even though he is one of the most athletic players in the league. There are just so many things that are wrong.
Who Should Be Hired?
Phil Jackson. Jerry Sloan. Jeff Van Gundy. No one else. Offer Phil whatever he wants and find yourself in the NBA finals next year.
Here is my list. Argue as much as you like, its just my opinion.
1. Rajon Rondo. I love his game and he has gotten a little better every year. I love pass first pgs (although I'm about to contradict myself). He makes everyone on his team better. Watching the Celtics without him this year should show you just how valuable he is. They don't have guys that can get by their defender. And I think to be an effective player you need to be able to make the other team use a second defender to guard you. Whether it be a pg getting by his primary defender, or a post player drawing a double, or even guys like Kobe and Lebron who get double teamed on the perimeter before they even take a dribble, if it takes multiple guys to defend you, you are a commodity. This allows your shooters and cutters and role players to get easier looks and to get shots they can't get on their own. 2. Russell Westbrook. Ok this is where I contradict. I know he is a pass last pg, but I absolutely love his game. I almost put him first but after thinking for a while he got the two slot. He puts sooooo much pressure on the defense on every possession. He plays harder than basically everyone in the league, and he plays with a chip on his shoulder which I love. What sets him apart is that he is basically unguardable. His pull up is basically whether he makes or misses, because the defender has no say in the matter. And he just attacks the rim without mercy. Some say he shoots too much but look at OKC in the last two games. They look like a team that doesn't have an identity. And talk about creating opportunities for others. He is an underrated passer, and just by him having the ball, all the defenders have to take another step towards guarding the paint and giving his teammates a little more space.
3. Derrick Rose. I give him the nod over Chris Paul. I think he is so explosive and can get to the rim at will and dunk on you too. He is an impossible player to guard, and his 3 point shot is improving all the time. He took this Chicago bulls team that can't score 80 unless Nate Robinson goes off to being one of the most explosive offenses in the league and the #1 seed last year which was best record in the East. And on top of it, he tears his ACL in game 1 which the Bulls won, and then they lose to the terrible Sixers who had a losing record (I believe) during the regular season. He is the ultimate example of a guy who makes a bunch of very average players into the best team in the conference.
4. Chris Paul. Never been a big Chris Paul guy, although I do like him more now that I have seen him play more often now that he is here in LA. He is a great competitor and great all around offensive player. I'm not a huge fan of his defense and I think he struggles with physical point guards. But he has turned the Clippers from irrelevent even with Blake Griffin and D'andre Jordan, to a second tier team in the West which is saying something with how deep the West is. Having Paul this low is blasphemy to some people but I just like the other guys a little bit better.
5. Stephen Curry. This guy is rising the charts in a ridiculous fashion. The problem is he may not be able to rise any further with the guys above him. Some people may like him better than one or all of the people above him but I still would take all of those guys ahead of him at this point. His shot is so smooth and he needs absolutely no space to get it off. He is becoming a better passer every year and cutting down turnovers. He does struggle on the defensive end, which is part of the reason I don't have him higher, and he has been hurt so much so far in his career, I don't think he has gotten to reach his full potential. And I am thinking he is pretty close right now and its really impressive. He might be the most fun to watch of anyone on this list because of how he can just hit you for a quick 10 or 22 like he did in 6 minutes the other night.
the rest of the top 10 for me:
6. Tony Parker
7. Derron Williams
8. Kyrie Erving
9. Damian Lillard
10. Gerives Vasquez (sorry about spelling)
Thats my list. Feel free to bash it.
Going out to eat with my mom be back to see reactions in a couple hours
I still like Warriors at +2. I know that the Spurs flexed their muscles i game 3 but its a do or die game for GSW. thoughts?
Iman Shumpart Putback Dunk
This is a great time to be watching the NBA Playoffs. Conference semis, which means there are still a good amount of games. Its like the NCAA tournament where the first two weekends are the best because there are games all day. The final four is fun and stuff, but its also fun when there are 16 games a day haha. Gives a bball junkie like me entertainment and hoops all day long.
So another great performance by the Warriers last night and this time they were able to hold off the late runs by the Spurs and tie this series at 1. This is definitely the most compelling series of the four, because you have the Warriers, who don't understand they aren't supposed to beat the Spurs and aren't supposed to be in this series at all. It was like, "aww look at Steph and those guys, they beat the Nuggets, thats nice for them. But now they are playing the big boys." But they aren't laying down. They are actually in control of the series. They should be up 2-0 and frankly, I think the Spurs don't know what to do. They have rendered Tim Duncan useless, they have held Ginobli down pretty well, and Parker at 7-17 is another matchup victory for GSW. The best players for the Spurs have been Danny Green who is hitting, and Kawhi Leonard who is really emerging as a great young talent. Now the series shifts back to the Oracle, with OKC, I'd say the top 2 crowds and home court advantages in the NBA. I think the Warriers will win one or both of these games and if they win both, are looking the conference finals in the face.
The Memphis/OKC series is far less compelling. It is frustrating to watch Kevin Durant try and carry this team by himself. He is playing so hard and so well, but without Westbrook, they just don't have that second threat and that second scorer and defender. I really like Memphis in this series. They are able to grind it out and pound the paint, while Conley and the role players do their jobs. They could easily be up 2-0 as well and I think they will ultimately have too much strength for OKC.
The Miami/Chicago series was tied up by Miami last night. I love Lebron and I'm hoping that game 1 loss woke them up. They really haven't had to try yet, and after losing game 1 they came out and destroyed the Bulls. Now its only one game and it doesn't matter if you lose by 1 or 50 its still just one loss. Now if there are suspensions for Noah or Gibson, that could be big, but I hope it doesn't really matter. If the Heat play like they did last night, this series won't be on too much longer.
Pacers/Knicks is also tied 1-1 heading back to Indiana. I really think the Pacers will win this series, but they are known for laying eggs sometimes, which they did in the second half of game 2. That is the scary thing. If they go cold, it is hard for them to come back because the Knicks can get to the line and get good shots for Carmelo and J.R. Smith. I like Indiana to win game 3 but if they give away one of these games, they are gonna make it really hard on themselves. And don't forget that Stern wants the Knicks and the Heat in the conference finals, so for Indiana to win it, they are gonna have to earn it.

Overall a great value. Rooms were very clean. Basically a small bedroom which was fine. Shared bathroom with one other room. Also a shared kitchen which was available to all rooms with refrigerator and stove. Could not be happier with accomodation and very close to the volcano.

We enjoyed our stay in the Bamboo room, a nice suite with lovely views of the sunset. Breakfast was plentiful, well stocked by Sumner every day, and we enjoyed meeting him. This is not a traditional B&B; there is only one room (the website is misleading, only the Bamboo suite is available. One room is occupied by renters, and the other one is empty), The property is for sale, and has a somewhat neglected feel. We did not meet the owner (Melanie). If you are looking for a large, attractively furnished vacation rental, with a generous breakfast basket, this may be a good match for you. You will feel as though you are out in the country, yet are close to the north Kohala coast beaches and sights.

This was the relaxation and seclusion we needed at the end of our adventure filled 3 week Hawaiian vacation. Bamboo Cottage is a lovely mini apartment with a western facing lanai, 900 ft above sea level. We felt like we had the place to ourselves. Snorkel equipment, beach towels, chairs and umbrellas were provided. Breakfast foods (fruit, muffins, yogurts, coffee, milk, cereals) and snacks were replenished daily. A little low key sightseeing of the north western portion of the Big Island, beach time (Waimea) and grilling dinner while watching the sun set over the Pacific were the perfect end to our visit to paradise.

My husband and I enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing stay in the Bamboo Cottage in March of 2015. We found the view to be superb (ocean and volcanoes) and the accommodations clean, comfortable and spacious. We travelled the island for two weeks and this was our final stop. I had the hardest time leaving this cottage. It is in a great location to explore the nicest beaches on the island, to see the ranch country and to explore the town of Hawi (delightful) and the Pololu Valley (spectacular). Several fine restaurants are only a few minutes away in Kawaihae. A very friendly man delivered the breakfast basket that provided plenty of food for breakfast and snacks for the day. You may need to call for confirmations if you don't get an email back but a quick phone call worked fine. I would recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a quiet, scenic location away from large hotels and tourist traffic.

My wife and I stayed in the bamboo suite for 2 nights at the end of our trip in Hawaii.. we wish we would have found this place sooner. Its besically a 1 bdrm apt with a big open concept livingdining area, separate bdrm, separate bathroom, big porch with view of the ocean and a bbq on it! All for less than most hotels charge! We would definitely stay again. Stay here and use it as a base for visiting the north/west half of the big island.

Beautiful panoramic views of the Pacific. Lovely sunsets. Great place to relax and hit the beautiful Hawaiian beaches. Beach towels, beach chairs, and snorkel equipment provided were a welcome surprise. Great location to explore the east coast. Lots of space. Added bonus to be able to eat in.

Our stay here was wonderful! It was beautifully decorated and a very comfortable bed to sleep on. Also very quiet and restful. We also had our private space outside with a BBQ and a view of a beautiful sunset - very romantic! The owner was very kind and accomodating. She provided us with accessories for the beach - chairs, umbrella, boards, etc. The room had a very cozy, cottage feel. The breakfast was placed in a basket, which included cereal, oatmeal, and basic breakfast food - so don't expect a lavish breakfast. The fridge also needs a bit of work, but if you are OK with that, you should be fine. Thank you for the wonderful stay.

Cute place, good utility, nice owners, great location for nearby beaches. We would have had a good memory of this place had it not been for the lack of cleanliness--the entire place needed a good scrub. The refrigerator was soiled with stains on the surfaces, the light switches were caked with hand dirt, grout in the tiles were black. We're not exactly germaphobes but we had to give it a good clean for our own peace of mind and left the place cleaner than we found it. It's a nice place and I wish this wasn't the primary memory we have of it!

If you want to get away from it all, this it the place. Really quiet with a great view of the Pacific. Fresh Papaya, Yogurt, and Kona Coffee made for great breakfast. You will need a car as you are a drive from everything, but we loved it. Thanks Bruce and Melanie.

The big-screen reboot of the Power Rangers franchise has yet to be released, but studio Lionsgate is so optimistic that its CEO Jon Feltheimer announced that as many as seven more sequels could be made. "We are really, really excited about the Power Rangers movie," Feltheimer said during a conference call with entertainment industry analysts. "We could see doing five or six or seven." He claims that the reaction to the reveal of the new movie's crystalline armour costumes has been largely positive, though a cursory glance at the relevant tweets doesn't bear that out. The first entry of the planned series will be released in 2017. Dean Israelite is directing the film, with the main cast comprising Becky G as the Yellow Ranger, Ludi Lin as the Black Ranger, Naomi Scott as the Pink Ranger, Dacre Montgomery as the Red Ranger and RJ Cyler as the Blue Ranger. Elizabeth Banks will play the evil alien witch Rita Repulsa.
A live-action adaptation of Yukito Kishiro's manga series Battle Angel Alita has been in development for years now under James Cameron, who was initially interested in directing. Now preoccupied with making the Avatar sequels, Cameron has passed the directorial baton on to Robert Rodriguez (Sin City, From Dusk Till Dawn). Actress Rosa Salazar (Insurgent, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials) has landed the lead role, beating out the likes of Maika Monroe, Bella Thorne and Zendaya. The sci-fi action tale is set in the 26th Century and revolves around a female cyborg named Alita who is salvaged from a junkyard by cybermedic expert Daisuke Ido, who rebuilds her. The rebuilt Alita does not remember anything from her former life, but retains her expertise in the martial arts Panzer Kunst and becomes a bounty hunter, tracking down vicious criminals. In the original Japanese manga, Alita was named 'Gally'. "Robert, with his technical virtuosity and rebel style, to take over the directing reins," Cameron said of Rodriguez. "We're looking forward to learning a lot from each other while we make a kick-ass epic." No production date has been confirmed, but this is a significant step forward for the long-in-gestation project.
Doc Savage, the fearless adventurer and genius scientist whose exploits filled the pages of pulp magazines in the '30s and '40s, will be embodied by Dwayne Johnson in the upcoming film. Shane Black has been developing a Doc Savage movie for some time now, and when Johnson teased on Instagram that he would be collaborating with Black, fans connected the dots. The Rock made it official with a followup Instagram post, a group photo of Johnson, Black, writers Anthony Bagarozzi and Chuck Mondry and producer Hiram Garcia meeting to discuss the project. Johnson called Doc Savage, a.k.a. Clark Savage Jr., the "world's first superhero" – a label he earlier applied to Hercules.
"Comic book fans around the world know that the cool thing about 'Doc' Savage is that he's the inspiration for Superman," Johnson claimed. "First name Clark, called 'Man of Bronze', retreats to his 'Fortress of Solitude' in the Arctic etc etc," he wrote in the Instagram caption. There have been multiple attempts to bring Doc Savage to the big screen, with the only one that materialised being the 1975 film starring Ron Ely as Savage. Arnold Schwarzenegger was attached to a Doc Savage project in the late '90s that fell through. This film will retain the original's '30s period setting and include Savage's trusty band of allies, the Fabulous Five. Johnson is busy with a multitude of projects and Black is entering production on The Predator, so Doc Savage is expected to go into production in 2017.
Finn is trading in his Stormtrooper armour for a Jaeger pilot suit in the sequel to Pacific Rim. John Boyega (Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Attack the Block) will lead the cast as the son of Stacker Pentecost, the character played by Idris Elba in the first film. Guillermo del Toro, who directed Pacific Rim and will produce Pacific Rim 2, said in a statement, "I am very proud and happy to welcome John into a fantastic sandbox. The Pacific Rim universe will be reinforced with him as a leading man as it continues to be a multicultural, multi-layered world. 'The World saving the world' was our goal and I couldn't think of a better man for the job." Replacing del Toro in the director's seat is Steven S. DeKnight, who has written and produced TV shows including Spartacus, Daredevil and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. We do not know for sure if the rest of the cast, including Charlie Hunnam and Rinko Kikuchi, will return though del Toro did say earlier, "I think that everybody or most everybody that survived is back."
Russian-born actor Anton Yelchin died at age 27 on 19 June 2016 in Studio City California, just weeks before the release of Star Trek Beyond. The actor was known for portraying Ensign Pavel Chekov in the Star Trek reboot films, taking on the role originated by Walter Koenig in the original series. Yelchin was standing behind his car, which was in his driveway and left in neutral gear; the car then rolled backwards and pinned him against a security gate. His parents, Irina Korina and Viktor Yelchin, were star figure skaters in the USSR who escaped to the U.S. after their family faced religious and political oppression. Yelchin appeared in Along Came a Spider and Hearts in Atlantis as a child actor; his later credits include Only Lovers Left Alive, Charlie Bartlett, Terminator Salvation and Like Crazy. Director J. J. Abrams posted a photo of a handwritten tribute to Yelchin, which concluded with, "You weren't here nearly long enough. Missing you." Co-star Zachary Quinto, who portrays Mr. Spock in the Star Trek reboot series, called Yelchin "Our dear friend. Our comrade," describing him as "One of the most open and intellectually curious people I have ever had the pleasure to know" and "So enormously talented and generous of heart." Kat Dennings said on Twitter: "Anton Yelchin was one of my best friends. Can't say anything that conveys what this feels like."
DC Films has secured Rick Famuyiwa as the director for the solo Flash film starring Ezra Miller, after Seth Grahame-Smith departed the project. This was to be screenwriter Grahame-Smith's directorial debut, but he dropped out citing creative differences. Famuyiwa's recent comingof- age comedy-drama Dope was positively received by critics, and his credits also include The Wood, Brown Sugar, Our Family Wedding and the HBO Original Movie Confirmation. This will mark his first foray into big-budget blockbuster territory. Famuyiwa, the son of Nigerian immigrants, served on the panel of directors for the Directors Guild of America African American Steering Committee in 2003 and is known for exploring themes of tolerance and ethnic diversity in his films. Famuyiwa is diving head-first into the research: he posted a photo of a stack of Flash trade paperbacks on Instagram, with the caption "Today was a BLUR". The Fastest Man Alive sprints onto the big screen in 2018.
The Conjuring franchise is expanding with a spin-off focusing on the demonic nun who terrorises Ed and Lorraine Warren in The Conjuring 2. The series, which comprises the first film in 2013, 2014's spinoff Annabelle and this year's The Conjuring 2, draws from the case files of the Warrens, self-proclaimed paranormal investigators active in the '70s. Interestingly, the demon nun character was only added during last-minute reshoots and did not exist in the script for The Conjuring 2. Director James Wan came up with the idea three months before the scheduled release date, with actress Bonnie Aarons wearing prosthetic makeup to play the ghoulish woman of the cloth. In addition to The Nun, an Annabelle sequel is due in 2017.
Oscar-winning actress Helen Mirren has made no secret of her desire to be a part of the Fast and Furious franchise, and what Helen Mirren wants, Helen Mirren gets. "I so want to be a mad driver in a Fast and Furious movie," Mirren told Yahoo Movies last year. "I keep putting it out there, and they never ask me." In the Elle interview in which she confirmed her casting, Mirren was adamant about not being a film snob in any way. "I love the movies. I love going to the films," she declared. "I like very serious films, I love foreign films, and I love big, fun movies – as long as they're wellmade and they've got good scripts. That's the most important thing." Mirren very much wants to get behind the wheel, saying, "I've always rather loved driving. I said, 'I'll be in it, but only if I'm allowed to drive in it.' But we'll see. We'll see how it transpires." Mirren is the second Oscar-winner to be cast in Fast 8 after Charlize Theron, who is playing the film's villain. The ever-expanding cast also includes returning stars Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Elsa Pataky, Tyrese Gibson, Chris 'Ludacris' Bridges, Kurt Russell and Jason Statham. Mirren will be crowned Highway Queen when Fast 8 hits theatres in April 2017.
Scarlett Johansson is headlining an R-rated comedy that is being described as a cross between The Hangover and Weekend at Bernie's. The film revolves around five friends who rent a beachfront chalet in Miami for a wild bachelorette weekend and end up accidentally killing a male stripper. Jillian Bell, Ilana Glazer, Kate McKinnon and Zoë Kravitz round out the cast. Lucia Aniello and Paul W. Downs penned the screenplay, which was originally titled 'Move That Body' and landed on the 2015 Black List of best-liked unproduced scripts in Hollywood. Aniello will direct Rock That Body, which is set for a June 2017 release.
Brendan Fraser has kind of fallen off the radar: while once poised for stardom as the leading man in the Mummy film series, he hasn't appeared in a movie since 2010's widely-panned Furry Vengeance. Now, Fraser is set to play Charu, the villain in the Bollywood crime thriller The Field. Director Rohit Karn Batra, who is making his feature film directorial debut with The Field, explained, "The more the script evolved, the more obvious it became Brendan was the best choice for the idiosyncratic role of Charu. For a director to explore this journey with him in a place like India is nothing less than a once in a lifetime opportunity." The character, an American gun-runner who becomes entangled in a war within the Indian underworld was originally intended for actor Ray Liotta. The film's cast also includes Prem Chopra, Ronit Roy, Neeraj Kabi, Vineet Singh and Radhika Apte.
It ain't ogre till it's ogre. The Shrek franchise, one of DreamWorks Animation's most lucrative properties, will receive a reboot under the guidance of Illumination Entertainments Chris Meladandri, producer of the Despicable Me films. This announcement followed the purchase of DreamWorks Animation by media conglomerate NBCUniversal for US$3.8 billion. At the Guggenheim Partners TMT Symposium, NBCUniversal chief Steve Burke said of Meladandri, "He is creatively going to try to help us figure out how to resurrect Shrek and take a lot of the existing DreamWorks franchises and add value as we create new franchises." The Shrek franchise currently comprises four feature films, a Puss In Boots spin-off movie and animated series, multiple animated short films, theme park attractions and a stage musical.
Disney heeds the call of the ocean with their new animated film, drawing upon Oceanic mythology. In the ancient South Pacific, the young Princess Moana Waialiki (Auli'i Cravalho), born into a long line of gifted navigators, embarks on an epic journey in search of a fabled, long-lost island. Along the way, she encounters the effusive and powerful demigod Maui (Dwayne Johnson), who joins her on her quest. Moana is also accompanied by a pig named Pua and a rooster named Hei Hei.
Moana is written and directed by Ron Clements and John Musker (The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, The Princess and the Frog), and is the duo's seventh Disney animated film. After a planned adaptation of Terry Pratchett's Mort fell through, Clements and Musker pitched several original ideas, and began developing a movie based on Polynesian traditions, making research trips to Fiji, Samoa and Tahiti. The film will feature music by multi-hyphenate Lin-Manuel Miranda, who recently swept the Tony Awards with his smash hit musical Hamilton. Composer Mark Mancina and Oceanic music group Te Vaka are also contributing to the soundtrack. 14-year-old Hawaiian Cravalho will be the youngest actress to voice a Disney Princess. The animated short Inner Workings, directed by Big Hero 6 and Wreck-It Ralph story artist Leo Matsuda, will be attached to the film. Moana hits the high seas in November 2016.
Tom Cruise has returned as the man on a mission (no, not that man or those missions) in the follow-up to 2012's Jack Reacher. The titular vigilante drifter (Cruise) meets up with Major Susan Turner (Cobie Smulders), the commanding officer of the United States Army Military Police Corps, Reacher's former unit. Turner has been arrested for treason and is being held against her will. Reacher attempts to help Turner clear her name, finding out he has been implicated in a homicide that occurred 16 years ago and that he might possibly have a daughter he's never known about. The duo are uncovering a sinister, far-reaching conspiracy in the process, facing off against a shadowy foe known only as 'The Hunter' (Patrick Heusinger).
The film is based on Never Go Back, the 18th book in author Lee Child's Jack Reacher series of novels. Replacing Christopher McQuarrie, who helmed the first film, is Edward Zwick, who previously directed Cruise in The Last Samurai. Cruise proved a controversial choice for the character, who is described by Child as being blonde and 6' 5" tall. "He's alone and he's sort of in his element and then he couples up with me and all hell breaks loose," Smulders said of the Reacher character. "We're on the run for this entire movie." Interestingly, this marks Cruise's first sequel outside of the Mission: Impossible series. A harrowing incident occurred on set in Louisiana when a wardrobe trailer went up in flames. The crew was able to partially extinguish the fire before four fire trucks arrived to finish the job. Jack Reacher returns to take no prisoners in October 2016.


text: The first waxwings of the autumn are arriving from Scandinavia. This is the moment when birdwatchers start asking themselves: will it be another waxwing winter? In some years there are large influxes, as in the winters of 2004-5, 2008-9 and 2010-11. So far this year they have mostly been seen in ones and twos on the east coast, but this might only be the beginning. They are very colourful birds, the size of starlings. They have a pinkish body, a pinkish crest on their crown like a sail pointing backwards, and a black mask and bib. On their wings there

There is much that might be said that is good of American progress in hygienic matters, but the criticisms in Dr. Fulton's address, published in this issue, are certainly called for. We in this country have never been strong in the matter of vital statistics; over a large portion of our territory the attempts at their collection are almost farcical and, even where they are at their best, there is, as he points out, much room for reform. It is the second point of his criticism, however, that most calls for our attention here. The disreputable, and, we might say, criminal use of the health records for commercial purposes, as he shows, is appalling, and strongly suggests that even worse remains behind. The possibilities of blackmailing from a free access of everyone to these records are very apparent. Moreover, as the tendency to increase the number of notifiable diseases extends,

THE PHILADELPHIA School District yesterday released its results for the state's top standardized test - the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment, or PSSA - and the news wasn't pretty.
The scores marked the second year in a row that the overall percentage of students scoring "proficient" or "advanced" on math and reading exams were down, across all grade levels and subgroups.
The district said average math proficiency scores fell four points from 51 percent to 47 percent, according to the district. Reading proficiency rates dipped 2.5 percentage points, from 44.8 to 42.3.
Keystone Exams - designed to measure students' proficiency in certain subjects - were also administered for the first time last year to 11th-graders. The rate of students passing the test's algebra I portion was 39.8 percent; for biology, the rate was 20.3 percent; and in literature, the rate was 53.4 percent.

Since putting their collaborative efforts on hiatus last year, the dynamic duo of Dubfire and Sharam, known more famously as Deep Dish, have each sought to create a stronger distinction between their solo recordings. While Sharam has adopted a free-wheeling aesthetic, Dubfire has taken a decidedly rootsy turn with his new Global Underground compilation, Taipei. Dubfire's no stranger to the GU series, so although the album takes liberty with trance, retro, and New Wave influences, the intensity remains intact. The first disc ramps up slowly with a few low-key indulgences before hitting stride on Julien Jabre's "Swimming Places," a smart blend of soft-plucked guitar welded together with loops of melodic flute. The mix then takes its best turn with the pairing of nostalgic New Wave and Knight Rider-esque synths on a remix of Ballroom's "Remember Me." Really it's among the New Wave, industrial, and retro infusions where Dubfire's self-reflective mood finds its stride. A skillfull rendition of Nitzer Ebb's "Control I'm Here," and a cover of Love and Rockets's "I Feel Speed" sung by Dubfire himself, particularly stand out. Through it all Taipei remains well-produced and sharp, proving that this half of Deep Dish has plenty to offer on his own.

Dramatic moment family rescued kidnapped and stabbed girl in shoot-out at abandoned house where she'd been held for 3 days
- Victim's family claim they shot dead Scott Thomas during rescue attempt
- Bethany Arceneaux was grabbed on Wednesday as she collected her child from a day care center
- 29-year-old mother allegedly had restraining order against kidnapper Thomas
The dramatic moment an uncle carried his terrified and bloodied niece to safety after she was kidnapped and held hostage in an abandoned Louisiana house was caught on camera today.
Bethany Arceneaux was taken hostage on Wednesday evening by Scott Thomas, her ex-boyfriend and father of her child.
A few hours after Marcus Arceneaux was pictured carrying his niece from a vacant house in Duson, a police swat team entered the building and Thomas was found shot dead.
Rescued: Marcus Arceneaux carries his niece, Bethany, to safety after she was kidnapped and stabbed in an abandoned house
Hostage: Scott Thomas grabbed Bethany Arceneaux, the mother of his child, on Wednesday evening
The 29-year-old mother had been stabbed and slashed but is expected to survive, her family told KLFY.
She has been taken to hospital and is in a stable condition.
She was rescued on Friday afternoon when a search party of family and friends confronted Thomas and managed to grab his victim.
Police who were also searching nearby rushed to the scene and quickly surrounded the house in a tense stand off that lasted a couple of hours.
Lafayette Police Corporal Paul Mouton told MailOnline the swat team entered the house, 'shots were fired and the suspect was deceased' at about 3pm (CST) on Friday.
Thomas died of injuries he sustained during the confrontation with Miss Arceneaux's relatives, according to reports.
According to Captain Kip Judice, of Lafayette Parish Sheriff's office, the victim's family had shot Thomas as they tried to free her from his clutches.
'Family members are walking through a pasture with an abandoned home ... and heard a yell from inside the home,' he said.
Saved: Bethany Arceneaux was rescued when a search party of friends and family heard her yell out
'Those family members entered the home and confronted Mr Scott Thomas ... who began to harm the victim. At that point, a confrontation ensued between the family member and Mr Thomas.'
He added that when a swat team later entered the house they found the body of the kidnapper.
Miss Arceneaux's ordeal began at 5.20pm on Wednesday when Thomas grabbed her from outside a day care center.
The 29-year-old was seen forcing his victim into a Buick LeSabre before driving off with her, leaving the victim's child abandoned in her car.
getaway car was found later that day in Anderson Road, Duson, but it
wasn't until Friday that Miss Arceneaux was rescued from an abandoned
house on the same street.
Relatives told KATC TV-3 gunfire was
exchanged between the family and the alleged kidnapper but police could
not confirm that.
Mr Arceneaux, the victim's uncle, said: 'We found my niece Bethany, she's OK. I'd like to thank everybody who came out and helped us search.'
Stand off: Police use their car as a shield as they surround the house Scott Thomas was hiding in
Search party: Police creep up on the house after the victim's family helped her break free
'Friends and family actually came
into contact with the victim and the suspect in or out of the house,' Lafayette Police Corporal Paul
Mouton told KPEL.
'There was a confrontation at that point. During that confrontation, the victim was freed,' he said, adding that Miss Arceneaux was said to be in 'good condition other than some injuries that she had received'.
The couple have a violent history revealed in several police reports, according to KATC 3. She had filed several reports alleging domestic abuse and also filed a restraining order against Thomas.
