Damon Lindelof and Ridley Scott say they took the 'Alien' prequel out of 'Prometheus'
ANAHEIM - You'd think after a 25 minute panel in front of approximately 3,700 WonderCon attendees, a few scattered interviews and a 20 minute press conference Saturday we'd finally know whether Ridley Scott's "Prometheus" was actually a prequel to his 1979 classic "Alien." It turns out the true answer may just depend on your definition of prequel.
After impressing the WonderCon crowd with the film's new trailer, Scott appeared with screenwriter and executive producer Damon Lindelof and star Michael Fassbender for a quick, but informative press conference. Lindeloff admits that when he first met with Scott to discuss the project the p-word was the big "elephant in the room and needed to be addressed."
Lindelof recalls, "When I first heard Ridley was going to direct an 'Alien' prequel and six months later my phone rang and the voice on the other end said, 'Are you able to talk to Ridley Scott?' And I crashed into a telephone pole. (Laughs.) I came back and [they told me they were going to send me a script that night]. I read this thing and we went in and had a meeting and he was already clearly saying, 'I want to come back to the genre. I want to do Sci-Fi again, but I think this movie is too close to 'Alien.' I've done this stuff before, but there are big ideas in that are unique in and of itself.' And I said, 'Well, I think that's what we have to do because if there was a sequel to this movie we are working on, which eventually became 'Prometheus,' it would not be 'Alien.' Normally that's a definition of a prequel is it precedes the other movie."
After making a dig at George Lucas' "Star Wars" franchise, Lindelof continues, "Often there is an inevitability to watching a prequel. So, If the ending of this movie is just going to be the room that John Hurt walks into that has eggs there is nothing interesting in that. We know how it's going to end. So, this movie will hopefully contextualize the original 'Alien' so maybe you know a bit more, but you don't [expletive] around with that movie. If were successful enough to even do a sequel to 'Prometheus it will tangentialize even further away from the original 'Alien.'"
"Prometheus" features Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Noomi Rapace, Idris Elba, Logan Marshall-Green ("Dark Blue"), Rafe Spall and Sean Harris as explorers hoping to find out more about an ancient alien connection to Earth. When they arrive at the origin planet dictated in the archeological "invitation" it's soon apparent all isn't what it seems. And for anyone who has seen the original "Alien," it just happens to be the planet where Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) first encountered those pesky chestbursters that haunted her across the big screen for decades. Therein lies a connection that isn't a direct prequel, but could be argued either way in a court of law.
Fassbender, who is coming off his critically acclaimed turns in "Shame" and "X-Men: First Class," has the unenviable job of playing David, the crew's lifelike android. On one hand, the 34-year-old actor appears to have put a lot of thought into his portrayal of a being that is almost human noting, "I think you want to play with as much of those human traits as possible. What if you program something and you you try and build a computer that essentially has a physicality to it and it's programed to be able to incorporate itself into a human environment? You have to have certain personalities that will get on in space. He has to be flexible. What happens when the program makes its own connections? Forming its own sort of ego, insecurity, envy, jealousy?"
Fassbender also notes, "You have this guy who is on his own for two years while everyone else is in cryostasis. So, what does he do? He amuses himself. There was the idea there that he was a little boy and he has to rely on his imagination to keep himself occupied. He's curious and how far will that curiosity go? In the way Damon wrote it, people treat him like a robot. There's a bit of contempt for David. He has all the answers or at least a lot of them. So, he's hyper-intelligent and more advanced than a regular human being so people don't really embrace him in. He's sort of used and abused. And so how does that make him feel? If robots can feel? You're always playing with the ambiguity if this robot is starting to form a real personality."
Lindeloff recalls it was a conversation with Scott early on which helped him find the character in the context of the screenplay.
"David is mass produced so there are 20,000 other David units out there that look exactly like Michael Fassbender. What a wonderful world that would be, huh? (Laughs). But the idea is that we all have our iPhones, but we put different cases on them and different apps on them. This David, once you take him out of the wrapping, he would begin to customize himself. He could change his hairstyle. He could change the way he speaks. He could take on different applications based on what this unit is meant to do. Once we cast Michael that was the killer app there. "
So, whether David is as corrupt and evil as Ash in "Alien" (played by Ian Holm) or as helpful and goodhearted as Bishop in "Aliens" (played by Lance Henricksen) remains to be seen. Especially after the robot delivers a very dramatic line reading ("Big things have small beginnings") at the end of the film's latest trailer.
Scott was mostly quiet during the conference just chiming to talk about how hard it is to make an original movie and using the examples of the original "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "The Exorcist" as the forerunners of all modern horror movies. He also detoured around a pointed question about the differences in technology seen in "Prometheus" and in "Alien" (filmed 30 years earlier) by going off on a long tangent about how Steve Jobs' love of guerrilla glass inspired his idea to give the crew fishbowl like helmets. But, he's Ridley Scott. He's a legend and he's allowed to allow for a little creative license now and then.
The 20th Century Fox tentpole was actually something of a vacation for Lindeloff who segued relatively quickly from wrapping up the groundbreaking TV series "Lost" to collaborating with Scott on "Prometheus." While that might be daunting for some screenwriters, Lindeloff called it "a huge relief."
"I think obviously with 'Lost' it was six years of my life. Between Carlton and I we were at the wheel of the car and the idea of telling a story over 120 hours of time just felt so unwieldy," LIndelof says. "I went away for a month after 'Lost' ended and then the first project I did an committed the next year of my life exclusively to was 'Prometheus.' So, the idea of saying 'yes' it's going to fit in the confines of 120 pages, but you keep going over that same story again. And whatever story is out there about me saying, 'This is what you should do Ridley.' It's in fact the opposite. I came in and I think he had a clear conversation about the movie he wanted to make. He was enormously patient with me and then I wrote that movie. It was nice to be in the passenger seat saying, 'Maybe we should just make a left up here?' As opposed to driving the car. And if you are going to let someone drive [it's Ridley]."
"Prometheus" opens nationwide in IMAX and 3D on June 8.

Watch Out for Hidden Skulls, and Other News
May 6, 2016 | by Dan Piepenbring
- With Zero K out, Don DeLillo is doing that most un-DeLillo of things: giving interviews. He told Mark O'Connell, "The novel still exists. And to my mind it still can be called a flourishing form. There are so many good younger writers. It's clear people are drawn towards the form—people who want to write are drawn toward the novel. It's the most accommodating form, certainly within fiction, and the most challenging. And it's very heartening to see so many good young writers. Don't ask me for names. But I do know the work of some of them, and I do know the opinions of people I respect who read more than I do. So I don't feel any dismay concerning the form itself … I find that being active as a fiction writer propels one toward the future, in a way."
- While we're on DeLillo: it's comforting, in some small way, to know that Ben Rhodes, the nation's deputy national-security adviser for strategic communications, has or has had DeLillo on his mind. "He saw the planes hit the towers, an unforgettable moment of sheer disbelief followed by panic and shock and lasting horror, a scene that eerily reminded him, in the aftermath, of the cover of the Don DeLillo novel Underworld … He was in the second year of the M.F.A. program at NYU, writing short stories about losers in garden apartments and imagining that soon he would be published in literary magazines, acquire an agent and produce a novel by the time he turned twenty-six. He saw the first tower go down, and after that he walked around for a while … 'I immediately developed this idea that, you know, maybe I want to try to write about international affairs,' he explained."
- The Crucible is sixty-three years old, and for all its heavy-handedness it's still a great way to rile yourself up about despotism, especially when it's set, as a new production is, in a contemporary elementary school: "For viewers around the globe, the play evokes frustrations with tyrannical, violent political leaders. As election season engulfs us, Ivo van Hove's production urges us to consider our country's currently campaigning personalities … Times never really change, Van Hove suggests. We're all still schoolchildren, feuding and petty and hesitant to admit our mistakes. There's a thin line between theatrics and rabble-rousing and the human inclination to follow spectacular reasoning, regardless of its truth. What matters more is what's being taught and what's been learned."
- Optical illusions can save your life, man. And your soul. India's transport ministry has used some sleight of hand to make their crosswalks seem to levitate from the street, which reminds Kelly Grovier of a memento mori from the sixteenth century: "When it was unveiled in 1533, the double portrait The Ambassadors by the German and Swiss artist Hans Holbein the Younger must have struck observers as a road bump for the soul. Looked at straight on from the front, the huge oil-on-oak painting is enigmatic enough, presenting to the observer a pair of distinguished diplomats caught in a clutter of worldly amusements: musical instruments and scientific whatnots scattered about the shelves on which they lean … But pass by the painting at a shallow angle from the left, such that your eye catches the work by chance in the periphery of its vision, and a mystery tucked into the center of the painting stops you cold. Only from that askance vantage do you see the optical illusion Holbein has secretly positioned into the foreground of his work: the cracked cranium of a spooky skull grinning back you."
- Today in correlations that seem absurd on the face of it, but then you give them a little thought and you're like, Oh, yeah, that kind of makes sense: Ping-Pong-table sales are tethered to the fate of the tech industry. As goes tech, so goes Ping-Pong. "Is the tech bubble popping? Ping-Pong offers an answer, and the tables are turning … Table buying 'tracks most closely with start-ups that hit that threshold where they're taking out office space,' says Russell Hancock, chief executive of think tank Joint Venture Silicon Valley, which follows economic trends. 'That's when you're going to get your first Ping-Pong table.' Table sellers seeing a decline include David Vannatta, sales team leader at Sports Authority in San Francisco. The store was getting a 'good flow of tech companies' buying tables, he says, but sales have fallen since Christmas."
Under the Skin of History: An Interview with Jonathan Lee
March 4, 2016 | by Catherine Lacey
Jonathan Lee's new novel, High Dive, focuses on the events leading up to the 1984 bombing of the Grand Hotel in Brighton, England, an Irish Republican Army assassination attempt on Margaret Thatcher. Lee follows both sides, moving with ease between the epic and the intimate. The hotel's deputy manager, Moose, and his daughter, Freya, show one side of the story, while Dan, a young man swept up in the IRA, provides a viewpoint from within the terrorist plot. But High Dive doesn't rely on historical significance to give the narrative its weight. Lee's close third-person narration, full of humor and compassion, follows each of the characters as they approach the explosion that we can see coming.
The novel, Lee's first release in the U.S. but his third in his native England, is already making waves abroad. I spoke to him about the challenges of writing historical events, especially seen through the compacted society of a hotel.
Though High Dive is focused on a specific event in 1984, it felt very current, with its focus on the dwindling power of men and their confusion in coping with this. Was this a theme you chose to take on or was its emergence more subconscious?
I read somewhere that Grace Paley, when younger writers asked her for advice, would say two things—"keep a low overhead" and "don't live with a person who doesn't respect your work." I think all the major characters in my novel—especially the men, as we're an insecure species—are aspiring, above all, to live with people who respect their work. Moose wants to be respected and promoted in his job at the hotel, and respected and loved by his daughter, who is seventeen but already wiser than him. And in the sections about Dan, a young IRA recruit, there is of course some vengefulness, but hopefully also this air of performance that is shared with hotel life. He wants to be heard and respected within and beyond his own small community. This above all is what leads him toward his fate—standing in a hotel with explosives in a bag, pretending to be someone else, calling himself "Roy Walsh," fictionalizing himself. High Dive seems to me to be about people in small rooms, plotting. Plotting an attack that will shake them out of their powerlessness, plotting a promotion that will shake them out of their powerlessness, plotting a speech that will secure their position as Prime Minister—or sitting in another small room, mine, plotting a novel about these things. Fiction felt like the right form for this book partly because there's so much fiction within the actual story—it's about men and women making things up and pretending to be people they're not.

Kilroy Is Still Here
November 12, 2015 | by Scott Beauchamp
In wartime, the walls of the latrine provide a rare opportunity for self-expression.
"It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech," as a patriotic poem by Charles Province has it. That presumption is a point of pride among service members, who defend civilian rights and privileges they're often not afforded themselves. You don't have the right to foment a strike in the military. You don't have the right to a trial with a jury of your peers. You can't sue the military. You don't have the right to peacefully assemble. There is no such thing as freedom of speech. But self-expression is like hydraulics: plugging one hole only builds more pressure somewhere else. In my own experience as an infantryman in Iraq, the only place where the stress of combat found unfettered freedom of expression was on the walls of the latrine.
You begin to notice it as soon as you hit the staging area in Kuwait. At places like Camp Buehring, a crossroads where battalions came and went on their way to different operating areas in Iraq, American troops are sheltered under the anonymity of massive logistical bureaucracies. A port-a-potty next to a chow hall could be used by any number of soldiers, sailors, airmen, or marines passing through. Unlike a permanent duty station, where bathrooms are assigned to specific companies and any defacement is easily traceable, there simply wasn't any way to catch someone scrawling on the walls of a well-trafficked latrine. The situation wasn't very different once one finally got to Iraq, where the bases were just as large and sprawling, and combat outposts were constructed in the half-destroyed hovels of what had been private residences. In the former, the anonymity was conducive to getting away with latrine graffiti; in the latter, no one cared if you wrote on some walls. Read More »
You Like Me, You Really Like Me, and Other News

- If we're going to gauge an artist's success by the number of Twitter and Instagram followers she has, an aspirant artist can and should game the system: don't wait for the followers, just go out and buy a bunch of fake ones. Constant Dullaart's art is all about buying your following: "The bots are accepted as part of our social fabric, as long as they don't spam us, right? But what actually happens to an art practice if you quantify the link between audience reception and market value? What is the quality of the followers, how many 'managed' or artificial identities are injected to increase market value? Many other artistic careers are justified in the press through their popularity on social media … My work was meant to comment on the value of audience quantification in the art world, in times when everything, even social relationships (now called social capital), can be defined in monetary terms."
- Thirty years later, DeLillo's White Noise is still the prophetic, funny, deathward-moving classic everyone wanted it to be: "White Noise is bathed in the glare and hum of personal computers and refrigerators and color televisions. Like bulletins from the subconscious, the text is intermittently interrupted by litanies of brand names designed to be pronounceable in a hundred languages: Tegrin, Denorex, Selsun Blue … in 1985, as the world accelerated toward an unrecognizable automated future and nuclear dread had become normalized, even the words Toyota Celica sounded like a prayer."
- Today in poop jokes and the royal family: Isack van Ostade's 1643 painting A Village Fair with a Church Behind has been a part of England's royal collection since 1810. But this seemingly innocuous work contains the unthinkable: firm evidence that earlier generations of humankind defecated exactly as we do today. "As conservators began to clean the painting, they realized a bush in the painting's right foreground was not original to the work. When they removed the bush, they discovered a squatting man relieving himself … Curators believe that the man was painted over in 1903 … Dutch artists often include people or animals answering the call of nature partly as a joke and partly to remind viewers of that crucial word 'nature,' the inspiration for their art. Queen Victoria thought the Dutch pictures in her collection were painted in a 'low style.' "
- Roberto Calasso talks about his new memoir, The Art of the Publisher, and running the Italian publishing house Adelphi: " 'At the beginning, we were considered rather eccentric and aristocratic. Then, when we started to have remarkable commercial successes, we were accused of being too populist. That was curious because we were publishing exactly the same books … The word 'information' suffers from a kind of verbal inflation, which has confused the minds of lots of people. And that is really worrying. Not the simple fact of digitization, which I'm not scared of, but that in the mind of some people, these two terms conflate. But they are opposites, sometimes."
- Pet names Nabokov had for his wife, Véra: "beloved insecticle … his kittykin, his poochums, his mousikins, goosikins, monkeykins, sparrowling, kidlet … his skunky, his bird of paradise, his mothling, kitty-cat, roosterkin, mousie, tigercubkin." He wrote her hundreds of letters. She rarely wrote back.
I Think I Would Rather Be a Painter
August 10, 2015 | by Robert Anthony Siegel
At the Guggenheim, writers and artists cross-pollinate.
Writers have always been in love with the visual arts. Just think of Frank O'Hara's sly poem "Why I Am Not a Painter," which is actually all about the creative entanglement of the two forms—tinged with yearning and a wry bit of envy:
I am not a painter, I am a poet.
Why? I think I would rather be
a painter, but I am not. Well,
And it isn't just poets. Hemingway, that great champion of muscular prose, credited Cézanne as one of his masters—a guy who painted pictures of rooftops. More recently, Don DeLillo has haunted the outer edges of the art world in novels such as The Body Artist, Falling Man, and 2010's Point Omega, which begins and ends with a description of Douglas Gordon's video installation 24 Hour Psycho.

Five Questions for Ishion Hutchinson
July 6, 2015 | by Jake Orbison
Ishion Hutchinson's poem "The Difference" appears in our Summer issue. Hutchinson, who was born in Port Antonio, Jamaica, teaches at Cornell University.
In "The Difference," the speaker bridges a divide between the reader and the "they," the poem's unspecified subjects. Can you talk a little about the genesis of the poem? Do you often see the role of a speaker as a kind of mediator?
The poem's opening contains its genesis. I overheard two men, it could have been more, talking one early winter morning in a café. Their words weren't clear but, to my ears, there was a doomsday tone about them, very grave. I had been reading Halldór Laxness's great novel, Independent People, too, a very masculine book, full of scenes of men gathering in winter to talk iron, as it were, and I think that permeated the poem. I do not see the role of a speaker as a kind of mediator at all, perhaps only to the extent that the speaker is listening to voices, yes, but the speaker's motive is to speak for and to himself.

Product Description
"Authentic scenario, mystery piled on misdirection, and more double-crosses than a tic-tac-toe tournament."―Kirkus Reviews on The Sixth Man
"A complex puzzle . . . Baldacci is a master craftsman."―Associated Press on The Sixth Man
"Equal parts Hitchcock and James Bond, it's the perfect literary cocktail...One of Baldacci's best."―Richmond Times-Dispatch on Deliver Us from Evil
"It's his eager, expansive imagination that drives his books . . . Like other thriller writers, Baldacci depends on a mixture of inventive plotting, appealing characters, luck, and consistency. Unlike others, his books rely more on characters' relationships than whiz-bang technology or procedural twists . . . What he offers is in some ways more unusual."―Newsweek on First Family
"A rousing success . . . Baldacci shows once again that he is a sort of thriller Renaissance man: a master of plot, dialogue, and character."―Booklist (starred review) for Divine Justice
"High-stakes action, shadowy government agencies, and [a] neo-Cold War backdrop . . . Baldacci pushes his plot ahead at such a blistering pace."―Washington Post on The Whole Truth
"Gripping, chilling, and full of surprises."―Publishers Weekly on Stone Cold

Do justice to the afflicted and needy." -- Psalm 82:3 (NKJV)
In The Sixth Man, Sean King and Michelle Maxwell return in the role of private investigators, this time assisting in preparing the criminal defense of an accused serial killer who is thought to be insane. On their way to start work, the two are shocked to find their client's attorney has been killed. Something's not right, and they decide to stay on the case . . . heavily relying on Sean King also being an active member of the bar in Virginia.
As their investigation unfolds, more violence follows and they find powerful forces are arrayed against them. There are also government and personal secrets at stake that others want protected. How can they hope to help? Well, it won't be easy.
As in many David Baldacci stories, the center of this one is about how those close to and in the government look out for their own interests rather than the public good. A few well-meaning people are all that might stop some terrible result. I won't say much more, but the plot relates to how best to employ information developed by the intelligence community. If the suggestions for what should be done fascinate you, this will probably be a four-star book. I personally didn't find that aspect to be credible, much less interesting, so the book's action plot is pretty average.
Many might look to a developing relationship between Sean King and Michelle Maxwell as another possible plus for the book. The story isn't written that way, so some will be disappointed on this front.
One of the oddest things about the plot was that so much of the action was placed in the middle of Maine. That meant describing many trips up and down the East Coast where frankly not much happens.Read more ›
Bottom line, I guess if you've read other Baldacci books, other reviewer's comments seem to indicate perhaps this is not his best one. As for me, I truly enjoyed this book.

Reducing Crime In Indianapolis While Providing Jobs
A new secured truck parking lot in Indianapolis aiming to lower crime and increase business in the community
To increased number of semi trucks on local roads and in existing rest areas are not the problem. The problem comes from the increase in freight related crime that occurs in unsecure parking lots and rest areas. An old saying in the trucking business is "cargo at rest is cargo at risk." The risk is chiefly due to criminals.
The problem of freight related crime is becoming larger and larger as crime rates and the use of violence in crimes increases. Increasing crime rates and unsecured parking areas also affect road safety, since truck drivers need to be able to comply with the required driving and resting times.
Fleet Yards Inc. (http://www.fleetyardsinc.com) is opening a new high-tech secured truck parking lot and drop yard in Indianapolis at 2460 North Graham Avenue to combat the problem and reduce the negative effect the increase in semi trucks in Indianapolis may have. The secure parking lot will be guarded 24 hours a day and include high definition CCTV camera monitored offsite for added security. Other security features will be used but company representatives did not want to disclose them citing security risks.
Company representatives of Fleet Yards say that the new Indianapolis secure drop yard will use the most modern anti-theft tools to deter criminal groups that focus on truck freight. They say there is concern that organized theft rings active in the Chicago area will be attracted down into Indianapolis thinking the new yards will be easier targets. Dan Otting, president of Fleet Yards stated, "We want the thieves to know that stealing in Indianapolis will get them caught. So don't even bother trying."
Fleet Yards believes that by taking security seriously from the start Indianapolis will enjoy the economic benefits of the new intermodal terminal without experiencing the associated crime and safety issues commonly experienced in the Chicago. The new Indianapolis secure parking lot opens August 23, 2014. For more information on the secure trailer parking lot and drop yard in Indianapolis contact Fleet Yards toll free at (877) 240-7275 or visit their corporate website at http://www.fleetyardsinc.com

Natural Penis Enlargement Not Only Increases Your Length & Girth Permanently, But Your Libido, Too!
Men have been using natural hand exercises to increase their penis length and girth successfully and permanently for centuries, but did you know that's not all it is good for. I started using natural penis enlargement exercises because I was unfortunately endowed below average at 5.5 inches long and 5 inches around and it was hurting my sex life as well as my social life. When I started using natural enlargement exercises, I saw length and girth gains come quickly -- within weeks. However, I also noticed an unexpected "side effect" that was a pleasant surprise.
Vacuum therapy to correct erectile dysfunction symptoms have been used and trusted for a very long time now. Pos T Vac uses this same technology to be a temporary but quick fix for any guy having trouble in achieving an erection. No pills or monthly cycles are needed for this product, nor do you have to worry about what is in the ingredient list, because this is an entirely different product from natural male enhancement pills. Vacuum therapy methods are also recognized by the FDA, which means they are overall very safe.
Do you suffer from a complex of having a small penis. A lot of men have this thought at least once in their lifetime. In reality, there might not be much to worry about at all.

I see this is my only chance of getting on a Tristar and would go out of my way in order to fly on one. For example do they fly between YUL and YYZ? Any help would be appreciated.

About the Apps
Welcoming young children into the world of reading is an exciting process which varies according to the needs of a given child, parent, or teacher. So let's look at these five app selections that model ways in which touchscreen experiences can enhance one's entrance into reading. Whether focusing on story structure, gameplay, or student tracking, they are all valuable tools for early reading.
The app version of Penelope HD remains quite true to the original text, giving focus to story content and the rich language involved in the act of storytelling. Your young child does not have to decode the words contained within this interactive app tale to reap its benefits. Even throughout later elementary years, it is important that students have literature read aloud to them at readability levels that surpasses their current stage. In early childhood, this means most books will be read aloud to kids. Now apps can help. Both boys and girls love Penelope's spunk, drama, and sense of adventure (and so will you).
At the other end of a spectrum is the app Duck Duck Moose Reading HD, offering educational games that hone in on specific early reading skills that connect to Common Core curriculum at the kindergarten level. Formerly titled Kindergarten Reading, this app still presents the same lessons and tracks student progress in short vowels, long vowels, and consonant sounds (both in isolation, and within words).
The Word Monsters: Learn To Read "Hello!" by Mindconnex is unusual in that it offers a very simplistic text for kids to read, but it also has a small helper character that can be called upon with the tap of a finger to give explicit information about the procedural business involved in reading. Children, parents, and teachers alike can use the assistance of this helpful little monster. Thanks!
Bob Books have been helping young ones learn to read for over three decades and the new touchscreen version called Bob Books Reading Magic Set 1 will feel like magic to those just on the cusp of learning to read.
Last but not least is one of my most favorite interactive books. Collins Big Cat: It Was A Cold, Dark Night Story Creator. This app endears children with a small woodland hedgehog searching for a warm cozy home in which to live. It artfully blends the expressive aspects of a player's storytelling with their receptive skills of reading. Love that!
Comments & Suggestions Have a suggestion for an educational app for this category you think we should feature? Let us know.
Erika Kerekes:
Has anyone seen research that these kinds of apps help kids learn to read earlier? Would love to see it.

Integrated Performance Services
Physical Therapy
Bridging the gap between rehabilitation and performance, physical therapy at EXOS focuses on a holistic approach to injuries, encompassing a complete evaluation of the injury and surrounding areas looking for deficiencies and weaknesses that could have factored in to the injury taking place.
While EXOS has made its name training and rehabbing professional athletes, the same world-class service, physical therapists, and athletic trainers support high school, collegiate, and amateur athletes as well as everyday people looking to bounce back from injury or surgery in the most efficient and effective manner.
Physical therapy is available as an individual service or part of an integrated performance program that includes training and nutrition services.
Typical physical therapy clients include:
- Professional and elite athletes
- Collegiate, high school, and youth athletes
- Military, firefighters, and law enforcement officers
- Adults living active lifestyles
Physical Therapy the EXOS Way
We take the process personally.
We invest in all of our clients, whether a reigning MVP looking to get back on the field, a firefighter trying to get back to duty, or an active adult wanting to achieve a more physically active lifestyle. Their goal becomes the goal of our dedicated team. As part of that personal approach, each patient meets individually with a licensed physical therapist and/or athletic trainer and receives one-on-one consultations with a performance nutritionist to create a plan that supports their nutritional needs as they progress through therapy.
We have world-class facilities.
Our facilities are widely regarded throughout the world as the premier destination for performance training. With equipment from industry leaders such as Keiser, SKLZ, Power Plate, AlterG, and WOODWAY, we use every inch of space in and around the facility, including our movement fields to assist in the therapeutic process. We feel the best way to get back on the field faster, stronger, and fitter is to actually get on the field during the process, building performance levels while recovering from injury.
It's a team effort.
While our therapists plan an integrated treatment plan, they consult with our staff of performance training, soft tissue, and nutrition specialists, as well as a player's team trainers and sports medicine specialists to ensure a fully integrated recovery plan. Want to train through recovery? Performance specialists and physical therapists develop a combined approach to bridge the gap between rehabilitation and performance, providing total-body strength and balance, which will help prevent future injuries.
We help you prevent future injuries with prehab.
As part of the recovery process, each patient will learn prehab exercises to reduce the potential for future injury. These exercises will help to continue strengthening weakened areas, while improving flexibility and mobility and decreasing the risk of future injury.
Am I an ideal candidate for physical therapy at EXOS?
EXOS is an ideal physical therapy provider for patients who wish to return to athletic competition, a highly active lifestyle, or a physically demanding work environment. Athletes of all levels (professional, elite, collegiate, and high school), firefighters, police officers, military personnel, and others motivated to recover quickly from a performance-related injury or surgical procedure, will find EXOS to be the unsurpassed rehabilitation solution.
EXOS physical therapy offers:
- Board-certified physical therapists and certified athletic trainers at each facility
- Insurance and out-of-pocket payment options
- Soft tissue specialist with expertise in neuromuscular and lymph drainage practices including ASTYM at each facility
- Facilities equipped with the world's finest equipment from companies such as Keiser, SKLZ, Power Plate, AlterG, and WOODWAY
- One-on-one attention and low client-to-staff ratio
- Nutrition education included
- Food service available

Non smoking room with strong smoky smell, we can hardly breath!!!
Easy way to the station; services OK, espacially internet
Very well run hotel with excellent staff
very old fashioned
location and the view from the room.
Hotel staff were very welcoming and helpful, a beautiful location and my room was basic but very comfortable, clean and I had more space than I expected. Good storage space in the wardrobe as well.
Friendliness and helpfulness of all staff at all times. Gourmet food served in lovely setting with mountain views. Extremely well kept throughout and in very peaceful location.
It was a shame that smoking is permitted on the covered outside terrace where we took most of our meals and also that the hotel cats were permitted into the public areas indoors.
This is a traditional Swiss Hotel located in a spectacular area. For us it was the perfect location to explore the surrounding countryside. Hotel has old world charm coupled with all modern facilities - food is first class.
I think today all hotels should have internet access. Unfortunately this one did not.
Very friendly staff, great gourmet-meets-homecooking meals, charming atmosphere
The owner's and staff's attention to detail. Everything was just perfect. Definitely worth the 150 mile detour to stay there.
Friendly and helpful staff, Chef welcomed us late at night.
The TV's in the rooms are not acceptable - 21st century and the tv is smaller than my computer screen. I would also expect a dvd player or sound system. Breakfast buffet was a bit "light". Eventhough we were very few guests in the hotel there should be the full offering.
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.
If you have more questions or if you have a bad price to report to us,
please send us an
and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

Tubman (6-5, 225, 4.6) originally committed to James Franklin at Vanderbilt. He switched his verbal to Penn State after Franklin left the Commodores to take the head coaching job with the Nittany Lions, but UK stayed in close pursuit all along.
"The coaches were very persistent," Tubman said, "... and their track records were great from Florida State."
The three-star prospect also held offers from Louisville and Nebraska. He said he made his decision last weekend after consulting with his mother.
"Having family in the state of Kentucky who can support me," Tubman said of his choice. "Having a family base around, I feel comfortable with the decision."
He also cited fellow UK in-state signees Drew Barker and Matt Elam as big factors in his decision to flip to the Cats. Kentucky landed four of the top five propsects in the Bluegrass State this year.
Tubman joins Denzel Ware and Tymere Dubose as projected defensive ends for the Cats, but could also see some action at outside linebacker similar to the way Alvin "Bud" Dupree was used in his first two years at UK.

Soft Machine's Kevin Ayers confirmed dead at 68
LONDON (AP) — Kevin Ayer's record label says the influential Soft Machine founder has died in France. He was 68.
Jack McLean, assistant to the managing director of Lo-Max Records, said Thursday that Ayer's body had been discovered in his bed at his home in the medieval village Montolieu in the south of France.
"We believe he died Feb. 18 of natural causes and was found two days later," said McLean. "He hadn't been ill, but he lived a rock 'n' roll lifestyle and everything that comes with that."
Ayers and Robert Wyatt formed the Soft Machine in 1966, taking the name from a William Burroughs novel.
He also had a lengthy solo career and made many collaborative records.
The record company said Ayers is survived by three daughters and a sister.

William James Young with his horse and grader on the Samuel Young family farm, Inlet Road, Harmonsburg, Summit Twp, Crawford Co, PA.
William James Young was the son of James Alfred Young and Margaret "Maggie" Davis and grandson of Samuel Young and Catherine Mercer. He farmed in Summit Township from 1902 till 1923 when he moved to Mercer Co, PA and worked for the Bessemer Railroad.
The farm barn and out buildings still exist today but are unusable. The farm is located about one mile north of Harmonsburg on Inlet Road, about a 1/4 mile east of the road.

PREMIO COMBAT PRIZE was born with the purpose of investigating the most interesting ideas in international contemporary art.
The name COMBAT draws its conceptual inspiration from combat films, videos shot by American military cameramen during World War II battles. Combat films, often shot on the frontline and live, filmed the horrors of the war to document and show to the American people - not yet used to reality TV – what was going on, including the most bloody events.
PREMIO COMBAT PRIZE shares the same objective, which is maybe ambitious but certainly effective from a cultural viewpoint: to go to the frontline to search for different trends in the international art world and to document at the same time the new artistic languages as they develop. PREMIO COMBAT PRIZE represents a new kind of research model based on a cultural discourse which is free from any commercial constrictions.
Through artistic research, PREMIO COMBAT PRIZE promotes a useful and non banal "comparison-clash", a sort of cultural battle that is really vital and necessary in these uncertain times.
Two interesting opportunities enhance the seventh edition of the PREMIO COMBAT PRIZE: one artist residence under 35 for two months in Belgrade and one artist residence for 45 days without age limits in Florence within the Special Prizes section, created in order to promote an international exchange of experience between artists, curators and the coordinators of each residential program.read more +
