The show provides the other side of the Cinderella tale with the story revolving around the life of Grazilda (Glaiza de Castro) <ref>The New Cinderella</ref> , Cinderella's wicked stepsister. Grazilda is banished to the mortal world by the Fairy Godmother (Jolina Magdangal), for disrupting the wedding of Cinderella (Gwen Zamora]) and Prince Charming (Benedict Campos) <ref>http://www.igma.tv/story/6825/Isang-kakaibang-Fairy-Godmother Isang Kakaibang Fairy Godmother</ref>.
In the mortal world, Grazilda meets her father Fernando (Joel Torre) who is now living with his wife Veronne (Cherie Gil) and daughter Cindy (Yasmien Kurdi). However, his father's family would not make life easy for her as she will be mistreated like how she mistreated Cinderella.
Despite the sufferings she experiences, Grazilda remains to be the strong woman that she is. In time, she finds her own prince charming in the mortal world in the person of Eric (Geoff Eigenmann). She also transforms from a wicked stepsister into a courageous lady with a good heart—this indeed was the Fairy Godmother's objective in exiling Grazilda to the mortal world.
Week 1
The story of "Grazilda" starts in the fairy tale land called Fantasia. Matilda (Rio Locsin), a duchess in Fantasia, fell in love with Fernando, a man from the mortal world. The two elope and have two daughters, Fernanda and Anatalia (Djanin Cruz). The family live together in Fantasia. Unknown to Matilda, Fernando left a lover in the mortal world, Veronne.
However, the Fairy Godmother banishes Fernando back to the mortal world, leaving his family behind. This angers Matilda so she changes the name of her first-born Fernanda to Grazilda. She eventually marries the father of Cinderella and moves in with her daughters to her new husband's home.
Grazilda grows up longing for her father and tries to remember him by playing his lullaby through the tape recorder that was left with the family when he sent back to the mortal world. She wants to earn her stepfather's attention and thus, becomes jealous of Cinderella. Matilda learns about the tape recorder, throws it away, and tells her daughter not to show any of her father's belongings to Cinderella. This only makes Grazilda hate her stepsister even more.
When Cinderella's father dies, the family is left with nothing but debt. Matilda sells all of her deceased husband's properties including the painting of Cinderella's mother. Cinderella eventually becomes the family's servant.
During a trip to the town center, Grazilda learns about a ball being held by the King and Queen of Fantasia for Prince Charming. She tries to ask for an invitation from the Prince's right hand. Vicente (Dominic Roco). However the party is exclusively for those of royal blood. Fortunately, she gets invited by Prince Charming himself after she saves him from a sink trap in the forest.
Grazilda, her mother and her sister prepare for the ball and intentionally leave Cinderella behind. Unknown to them, the Fairy Godmother magically provides everything Cinderella needed and the latter makes it to the ball.
At the ball, Prince Charming requests Grazilda to be his first dance. However, Grazilda's mother takes her away from the ballroom to do a quick retouch. Grazilda goes back to the ball and finds Prince Charming dancing with Cinderella instead.
As with the fairy tale, Cinderella immediately leaves the ballroom at the stroke of midnight, leaving Prince Charming with her glass slipper as a clue to her true identity. The lovestruck prince sets a mission to discover his mysterious dancing partner at the ball using the glass slipper and finally meets Cinderella.
Grazilda, in a desperate move, disrupts the wedding of the prince to his stepsister. As punishment for what she has done, the Fairy Godmother sends Grazilda away to the mortal world, away from her mother and sister.
Grazilda becomes exposed to the complexities of living in the mortal world. She gets robbed, then jailed when she used Fantasia currency to pay for food. After her release, she meets Jik-jik (Angeli Nicole Sanoy) while wandering the streets of Manila. She accompanies the young girl and lives with her in a makeshift shelter under a bridge.
Fernando figures in a minor car accident. Grazilda helps him without knowing that he is her father. Fernando brings Grazilda and Jik-jik to his shoe factory and gives them shelter as a favor. He also gives Grazilda a job at the factory but eventually lets her go after she caused a machine to break down. He hires her as a housemaid instead.
Back in Fantasia, a royal decree is issued to evict Matilda and Anatalia from Cinderella's home. Matilda shouts out a cry of desperation calling Grazilda's name. Grazilda witnesses her family's suffering through a magic glass ball hidden in one of the rooms of her father's house.
Week 2
Grazilda shows the magic glass ball to Jik-jik. Fernando finds out about it so he locks the door permanently. Meanwhile, Veronne, Cindy and Tonette continue to make life hard for Grazilda by asking her to do odd house chores. While Fernando is on a business trip in China, Veronne orders her other maid, Celia, and the family driver to bring the Grazilda and Jik-jik to the supermarket and to abandon the two so that they cannot find their way back to the house.
Grazilda falls in a manhole while walking along the streets of the city. Eric (Geoff Eigenmann), a fireman, rescues her from the pit and finds himself kissing her, which irks Grazilda. She cannot forgive him because she was reserving her first kiss for Prince Charming.
In Fantasia, Matilda and Anatalia go to the castle to speak to Cinderella, but they find themselves forbidden from doing so. The Baron advises Cinderella to remain firm and to not forgive her stepmother and stepsisters. The two become homeless just like Grazilda and Jik-jik in the mortal world.
Grazilda and Jik-jik help an old woman who faints along the street. This old woman shows gratitude by bringing the two to her home after finding out about their fate. The old woman happens to be Lola Tisay (Caridad Sanchez), Eric's grandmother. Upon seeing Eric in the house, Grazilda decides to decline Lola Tisay's offer and leaves the house with Jik-jik. Lola Tisay orders her grandson to apologize and bring Grazilda back to their home.
Fernando discovers that Grazilda and Jik-jik are missing and thinks Cindy is to blame. Cindy relates this to her mother, who figures in a heated discussion with Fernando. In the end, Fernando apologizes to their daughter.
Later that night, Veronne hears Fernando utter the name of Grazilda's mother in his sleep. She asks Fernando about the identity of Matilda but her husband is tight-lipped. The following day, she tells Cindy about the time when Fernando went missing while she was pregnant with their daughter. She further speculates that her husband has another family.
This is confirmed after discovering the magical glass ball hidden in the attic. She also finds a picture of Matilda with her daughter. She confronts Fernando about it but he remains mum.
Lola Tisay tells Grazilda and Jik-jik the story of Eric's parents. According to her, Eric's father was disowned by his wealthy family after he had fallen in love with Eric's mother. Both of them died poor leaving Eric in the care of his grandmother. Grazilda feels sympathy for Eric whom she thinks has the same story as her.
Eric and his team put out a fire at the Dominguez Footwear factory. He argues with the manager, Matthew Dominguez (Polo Ravales) after witnessing the latter violently reprimanding his employees. Because of the commotion, Eric is suspended as requested by Matthew's mom, Stella (Jobelle Salvador). Eventually, Eric divulges to fellow firefighter, Ben, that Matthew is his cousin.
Fernando confesses to Veronne about what happened the day he left his family for Fantasia. Apparently, he fell from a bridge and awoke in the fairy tale land. Matilda rescued him and helped him recover. They fell in love and had a family. He then assures Veronne that he will forget his family in Fantasia and that he will do everything to keep their family together.
Eric and Ben go on a drinking spree after learning about the suspension order. Matthew arrives and parks his car within the same area where they are hanging out. On his way home, Eric witnesses a bystander throw a rock at his cousin's car and laughs about it while walking away. Matthew sees him and thinks that he is responsible for the damage. He files charges and Eric is arrested by the police.
Celia and the family driver confess to Fernando about how Grazilda and Jik-jik got lost in the supermarket. Fernando orders them to go back to the supermarket and find them.
Meanwhile, Lola Tisay, Grazilda and Jik-jik go to the Dominguez home to speak to Matthew about Eric's arrest. They were aggressively driven away by Stella and her guards.
In its pilot episode, Grazilda earned 14.5 percent viewership compared to its rival show, "Idol", shown on ABS-CBN. This is according to the ratings survey conducted by AGB Nielsen Media Research in Mega Manila. <ref>Glaiza-Grazilda a nervous wreck</ref>

Statshot: Airlines, Bitcoin and Canadians in the NBA Draft
This week in Statshot: Most airlines have recently increased prices and decreased services. Which ones have successfully kept fares down while keeping passengers (relatively) happy? Also, Bitcoin is still the 800-pound gorilla of decentralized currencies, but as it gains legitimacy, other newly created coinages are popping up and gaining traction. And for the second year in a row, a Canadian was selected first in the NBA draft. After a spike in international draftees in the early 2000s, the percentage is rising again.

Posted on February 27, 2012 - Filed Under The Marina Experiment | 3 Comments
I write things and they might seem out of context for you, but for me they are always in context because my father's mistreatment of me as a child will always be there affecting every relationship in my life in inappropriate ways. I hear from many others who watch my film that it brings up STUFF about their own families and childhood but they do not want to talk about it because they say they have dealt with it or something like that but I know the pain is there and will always be there its just that they do not have the courage to feel it. I now understand what people mean when they call me BRAVE. I never got that before.

Dear Marina, I heard your interview on NPR today. Surely brought "STUFF" up on my own family. My dad didn't photograph me as much as yours did you, but one of my dad's favorite movies of me is when I'm 2-3 y.o. and going # 2 on the pottie. To this day he still doesn't understand how uncomfortable it makes me when he shows this to other people! Oh, and I have the exact same picture of me, at 7-8 y.o. naked in the shower with my shower-hat on! Flash back big time. My dad insisted on sitting on the toilet ('because he had to go') while I showered, all through my adolescent years. His eyes, locked on me. I don't remember when this first started bothering me. Finally, I think I was about 14, I worked up the courage to lock the door and shut him out. He bullied me in opening it back up. I finally avoided showering when he was in the house. I keep this uncomfortable feeling hidden, rationalized that he probably was merely interested in the biological process of his only daughter growing up (I have only older brothers). Your interview this morning has stirred me greatly, confronting me that it may not have been his biological interest at all. And now I am again fighting not to make a big deal about this. However, I am struggling with my moral self whether I should let my brother know about my experiences, for the sake of my nieces. My dad babysits them pretty much every week. And that reminds me,… where was my mother in all of this? Did she not see any of this going on? Does she see it now with my nieces? I now live thousands of miles away from all of them so I can't see. Bringing this up with my mother will only cause us both great pain. I will not watch your film, I am afraid of what it may do to me and my relationship with my father.

Dear Maggie,
I am sad that you endured a similar experience. I can empathize, but I cannot advise you on how to proceed. That is your choice. My parents are both deceased, so maybe that made it easier for me to make the film. Everyone who sees the film asks where my mother was – she was present, but inaudible. I hope you can find guidance within, or from a therapist or friend. I have been in therapy for 40 years, and without her help and my hard work, I doubt this film could have materialized. The pain lives on, but every viewing of my film is a victory, especially when it starts a conversation about this still taboo subject.
Take care, Marina

Please tell your brother for the sake of his daughters. Your father is still the same. My father was less bad but I would not leave my daughter alone with him. I was relieved when he died.

The Bahamas was handed an ace card in this year's Fed Cup
Guardian Sports Reporter
Published: Jul 13, 2013
Things just got a little easier for Team Bahamas, now that Jamaica has opted not to participate in this year's Fed Cup Tie.
Instead of having to fight their way out of the play-offs round, a first place finish in their pool will book The Bahamas into Group I of the Americas, in 2014. The Bahamas is currently playing in Group II of the Americas. This year's team members include Simone Pratt, Kerrie Cartwright, Danielle Thompson and Larikah Russell, as player/captain.
The Group II play is being staged at the Maya Country Club in Santa Tecia, El Salvador. The tie will start on Tuesday. Other countries are Bolivia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, host El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago and Uruguay.
"We were ecstatic when we found out about the new format," said President of the Bahamas Lawn Tennis Association (BLTA) Derron Donaldson. "We feel as though the odds are in our favor and the ball is now in our court, all we have to do is take full advantage of it.
"This year's team is pretty well rounded, whereas we have Larikah who has tons of experience and exposure at this level, so does Kerrie. Simone is playing very well in singles, so we expect her to do well. As for Danielle, this is her first time so there's no pressure on her.
"Each match will count and that is key to winning the pool. This is the first time something like this has happened with The Bahamas involved, but I do believe the team's chemistry is high and that they will be able to move into the next round."
In the past, the 12 teams would have been divided into two pools, with the top two teams moving onto the Group I. The pools will be released on Monday.
The Bahamas was relegated to the Americas Group II after the team failed to win a rubber last year.

Can Dogs Eat Yogurt
- Dogs can eat yogurt
Can dogs eat yogurt?
you may ask yourself can my dog eat yogurt?
Dogs can eat yogurt!
Similar to milk, dogs can also eat yogurt but in small amounts. Yogurts often contain a live bacteria culture which helps in your dog's digestion. Some owners would include a tablespoon of organic yogurt in their dog's diet. Some will also avoid yogurt due to the fact that some dogs might be lactose intolerant and even a small amount of yogurt can make them vomit or experience diarrhea.
Diarrhea caused by lactose intolerance can be quite difficult to treat since your dog is losing a lot of body fluids and they need to be re-hydrated as soon as possible t would be advisable to ask your veterinarian first if it is safe to let your dog eat some yogurt. If it is, try to ask how many servings your dog can eat, how often should you feed your dog with yogurt and what should you do in case your dog accidentally eats more than the recommended amount.
Yogurt does not also aid in your dog's digestion but it is also rich in protein and calcium which helps in muscle repair and bone development. Make sure to strictly follow what your veterinarian's advice regarding your dog's diet and you won't be having any problems in the future.

K-State Basketball Celebrates its 2013-14 Season
It was an evening filled with reminiscing over the past year, and was highlighted with individual awards that recognized not only the Wildcats' successes on the court, but off the court as well.
"As we look back on this season, the thing I'm proud about with this group of student-athletes is that they had a lot of opportunities to give up, right?" said K-State athletics director John Currie as he opened the banquet. "They had a lot of really good excuses. This group had a lot of opportunities to quit and not to stick together, but instead, what they did was work hard throughout the season. They continued to support each other and continued to build."
Who could forget the Wildcats' home opener loss to Northern Colorado? While the year may not have began exactly how the team had hoped, the young 2013-14 roster sure gave critics a run for their money.
From Nov. 24, 2013 to January 7, 2014, the Wildcats went on a thrilling 10-game winning streak, and then went on to earn back-to-back wins over the No. 15 Texas and rival and No.7 Kansas at home in February. The 2013-14 season saw the Cats winning 15-straight home games - a Bramlage Coliseum best - and the season concluded with the Wildcats making their 28th appearance in the NCAA Tournament for the school-record fifth consecutive season.
"For me, what I'll remember about this group is exactly what John (Currie) talked about," said Voice of the Wildcats, Wyatt Thompson. "That is, that they had excuses but they didn't take them, they kept fighting. That all starts with the man at the top, Coach Bruce Weber."
With that, everyone in attendance applauded K-State's head coach who has seen 47 wins in his two seasons as the men's basketball coach.
"There's no better place than K-State," Weber began, "I always talk about Coach (Bill) Snyder's quote, how he came because of the people and stayed because of the people and returned because of the people, and I think that's so true. We have great fans and we really, really appreciate you.
"This is a celebration of a very successful season, and if you had any expectations before the season, after the first couple of weeks they were probably gone, but after that, to the credit of our players and our seniors, they came together and through their dedication, commitment and togetherness they helped us survive that start and have a great season. There were a lot of cool games, big wins and we really got a lot out of our players."
Highlighting the awards portion of the evening was, no doubt, freshman Marcus Foster. The talented freshman guard from Wichita Falls, Texas, was among the nation's most talented freshmen last season. For his successes on the court, he earned co-winner of the Rolando Blackman Team Most Valuable Player award with teammate junior forward Thomas Gipson.
Foster and Gipson were both team leaders last season, but in separate ways.
Foster, who was also the recipient of the team's Tex Winter Top Offensive Player Award and the Dean Harris Newcomer of the Year Award, made his mark in K-State history as he was named to the All-Big 12 Second Team and joined Michael Beasley as the Wildcats only true freshman in school history to earn All-Big 12 honors. Foster, who finished the season leading K-State in seven categories, including scoring (15.5 points per game) and double digit games (27), also earned a spot on the Big 12's All-Newcomer team.
During the course of his junior campaign, Gipson showed poise both on and off the court in his ability to lead last year's young squad through adversity. Not only was he a key team leader, but he also led the team in field goal percentage (56.2) and rebounding where he averaged 6.5 rebounds per game. Along with the Most Valuable Player Honors, Gipson earned the Bob Boozer Courage Award.
Along with Foster and Gipson's honors, the Wildcats celebrated the following awards as well:
The Fort Riley "Never Broken" Award went to sophomore D.J. Johnson and was presented by Ft. Riley's 1st Battalion, 7th Field Artillery regiment.
The Ernie Barrett Play Hard Award was presented by Mr. K-State himself, Ernie Barrett, to senior guard Will Spradling.
The Keith Anderson Academic Award was presented to sophomore guard Brian Rohleder for the third consecutive year by K-State's Liane Fowler.
The Porky Morgan Most Inspirational Award was presented to senior guard Ryan Schultz by men's basketball sports medicine coordinator Brandon Yoder.
The Ed Nealy Most Improved Award was presented to junior forward Nino Williams by assistant coach Chester Frazier.
The Jack Hartman Top Defensive Player Award was presented to freshman forward Wesley Iwundu by associate head coach Chris Lowery.
The Mitch Richmond Mr. Basketball Award was presented to senior forward Shane Southwell by head coach Bruce Weber.

IF you've been working all week and praying the sunshine lasts into the weekend then you're in luck.
Yesterday sun worshippers flocked to Bournemouth beach as the mercury peaked at 25.7C making it the hottest day of the year so far for the region.
The sun is set to carry on shining today, tomorrow and Sunday as scores of outdoor events take place across Dorset including Bournemouth Food and Drink Festival, Harry Paye Day and Poole's Race For Life.
Runners taking part in the Summer Solstice 10k & Fun Run at Moors Valley this evening will be blessed with dry conditions and clear spells with temperatures remaining in the high teens.
Saturday is looking fine and warm with further sunny spells across Dorset. The Met Office says there is a slight risk variable cloud could give an isolated light shower but most places will stay dry throughout with a maximum temperature of 23C.
While Sunday will be dry with sunny spells and a maximum temperature of 20C.
However things turn more unsettled on Monday and Tuesday with showers but it will still feel warm with highs of 20C.

Moscow, Oct 14 (IANS) Thirteen people were killed when a minibus collided head on with a truck in Russia's southwestern Samara region, an interior ministry official said Sunday.
The accident happened when a front tire of the Toyota minibus exploded, leading the bus to the opposite lane where it collided with a truck, Xinhua reported.
The minibus carrying 14 passengers, 11 from Uzbekistan, two from Tajikistan and one from Azerbaijan, started to burn after the collision, a ministry spokesperson said.
"Thirteen passengers died of injuries, while the driver and one passenger were hospitalised," the Interfax news agency quoted the official as saying.
At a government meeting last month, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev urged measures reducing fatalities of road accidents, which are approximately 250,000 a year.

Lawyer Alvin, come out to reveal all and be damned
No doubt to his great well-being and fortune, lawyer Alvin Chong would have discovered that having anyone from the Abdul Taib Mahmud dynasty as one's patron is an assurance of riches beyond belief for this and the next seven generations. In the face of such tempting opulence, occasional legalistic indiscretions surely can be indulged in.
Alvin's crowing of the skill with which he has protected his master from the unwelcome attentions of the Inland Revenue Board would have been better accomplished had he displayed the same care to the law as he apparently did circumventing it.
Such avid loyalty to the Taib family notwithstanding, Alvin should be aware that the Singapore Wall, Chinese, Swiss or otherwise, does not quite act as a buffer to the official curiosity of a Malaysian tax officer.
A perusal of the Malaysia-Singapore Double Taxation Agreement, especially Article 26, would have revealed to his immense discomfort and alarm that wishful thinking aside, information can be exchanged between the two nations for "for the prevention or detection of evasion or avoidance of taxes". But considering the party involved is Taib Mahmud, what's a few nettlesome Articles between friends?
Chong and the two kissing cousins seem committed to keeping the Real Property Gains Tax (RPGT) at bay. But why the RPGT? Taking into account the frequency with which such transactions are participated in, any tax officer worth his salt would be able to make a solid case for the resultant profits to be subject not to RPGT but to Income Tax, leading to not only higher taxes but a host of other unwelcome consequences as well.
While the fine under Section 114 - Wilful Evasion is a mere RM20,000, a sum Daim Zainuddin will contemptuously regard as "small change", the offence brings with it another slightly more painful result - three years in the slammer.
Alvin Chong may be heartened, then again he may be terrified, to learn that any person who "assists any other person to evade tax" would be guilty of a like offence. The relief here would be that the days of contemplation while languishing under the hospitality of the government would be shared with familiar faces.
What next now? Surely the director-general of Inland Revenue, being the ever vigilant force that he is, a dexterity that a poor Deepak Jaikishen could testify to, would be aware of the goings-on and may care to make a visit to Taib's habitat to get first-hand knowledge of the, well, goings on. Who knows, Taib may yet be able attribute his wealth to his frugal nature since childhood.
As for Alvin Chong, he may wish to regal himself in the latest local pastime of "Come out, reveal all and be damned".
VINCENT JOSEF is a former Inland Revenue Board assistant director-general. He is an expert in corporate and business taxation and prosecution.

A fabulous way to enjoy the Mediterranean: Star Clipper Cruise Review by Sue Gooch
Overall Member Rating
A fabulous way to enjoy the Mediterranean
Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean
Embarkation: Other
Although a cheaper cabin, ours was well fitted out with plenty of storage, a safe, 2 hairdryers and clean linen as needed and enough sockets to keep our technology charged. We took our own adapters. The shower room was a bit small but quite sufficient.
Food was to a high standard although there is rather a lot of choice and not all of it is enjoyable. For me the fruit variety for breakfast was a bit boring, no strawberries, raspberries, blueberries but lots of melon varieties, oranges and prunes, bananas only twice. The cooked breakfast was a bit disappointing, bacon rather solid, sausages - less said the better, scrambled eggs cooked to standstill and beans not the tomato sauce variety. Fresh omelettes though. It wasn't too difficult to find something.
Lunch was probably the best meal, lots of variety, most well done More and tasty, lovely roast beef, lamb and pork. Dinner, served formally and usually pretty good but not really enough vegetables. If you don't eat carbs then you're stuck a little. Rather too much food but if you're strong willed you'd be ok.
The trips can be changed if the weather prevents the Clipper from docking anywhere and this happened twice on our trip. The places varied but generally included ruins, shops and bars. Beach time happened only once which was a shame, I'd have like more opportunity to swim in the sea.
The staff are all delightful, the entertainment is varied and none of it professional but all the more fun for that. The ships talent contest was hilarious.
The niggles? Well the same as others have noted, the sunbed hoggers were well in evidence (and an all British clientele) and although saving a bed is against the "rules", it went on and the staff turned a blind eye, unlucky for those of us who went on excursions and were looking forward to resting in the sun, we rested in our cabins instead. The dress code for dinner was also breached by passengers in shorts and this was also ignored, disappointing when most made the effort to be smart.
A real occasion was made of setting off under sail and I found this really uplifting, watching the sails unfurl to the music of Vangelis and flying along. The sail time though is often curtailed by the weather and takes place mainly at night, if at all. Still, lovely to see the ship when it did happen.
Dining with the captain, you had to pay and as he only appeared once not much chance really as this seemed to have been an option paid for in advance and thus not really open to most of us.
All in all, I was glad to have sailed on The Clipper, just for the experience, I don't desire to "cruise" with hordes of people and children and eat bland food.
I enjoyed it, loved it even. The weather was kind, never less than 30c and often hotter. No rain, yippee, pity you can't book the weather wherever you go.
The one downside was the reports that there had been two and maybe three incidences of theft, almost certainly crew related. I am also against having to tip up for gratuities, in this day and age the crew should not have to rely on them for a decent wage. I know they are "voluntary" but who wouldn't feel obliged, especially when envelopes are provided for you do so. Who knows if the crew even receive the tips? Less

7-Eleven Announces Musical Partnership for Charity
The company will sell a patriotic music CD, featuring Grammy-winning artists and produced by YMC Records, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the USO to support America's military families.
DALLAS -- The USO and America's military families will soon benefit from the sale of a new, patriotic CD available exclusively at participating 7-Eleven stores called "Support Our Troops: Support Their Sacrifice," produced by Dallas-based YMC Records.
This CD, which went on sale yesterday, with a portion of its sales benefiting the USO, is the first of a five-CD agreement between YMC and 7-Eleven to benefit various charitable organizations.
"7-Eleven supports America's men and women in uniform, and we have the privilege of doing so directly in several military cities where we have 7-Eleven stores, such as San Diego, Norfolk, Va., Tampa and Killeen, Texas," said 7-Eleven president and CEO Joe DePinto, who is a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point. "Our previous partnerships with the USO have been tremendously successful and rewarding to 7-Eleven, our employees and franchisees, and it's hard to think of a more noble cause than helping soldiers who safeguard our everyday freedoms."
The CD is a compilation of 15 songs by well-known artists, including Willie Nelson, Larry Gatlin, The Oak Ridge Boys, The Judds and Hank Williams Jr.
Joining these musical icons on the CD are rising talents such as 13-year-old Courtney Now and Celena Rae of "American Idol."
7-Eleven is offering the album through a partnership with YMC Records, a division of Dallas-based World Digital Media Group LLC. (WDMG). YMC Records is donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of each CD and has guaranteed a minimum $50,000 contribution to the USO as part of the fund-raising CD project.
The album's release yesterday coincided with National Military Appreciation Month, which acknowledges the contribution and sacrifices of the members of the U.S. armed forces. "Support Our Troops: Support Their Sacrifice" will be available only at 7-Eleven stores until July 28. The suggested retail price is $8.99.
"The USO relies heavily on corporate citizens like 7-Eleven and YMC Records that dedicate resources to help support our efforts," said Edward A. Powell, USO president and CEO. "Music has long been an essential component of our overall mission, and its universal appeal is an ideal way to reach those willing to support our service men and women. We thank 7-Eleven and YMC Records for their support of the USO and our nation's military families."


text: Thanks to everyone on MacRumors that is helping to push Subrats into the FREE Charts! Here are some great gameplay tips to help you increase your score. P.S. if you're the first person to break 1000 saved rats in a single game of classic-mode play, be sure to let us know! Subrats Top Gameplay Tips - Earn an extra life for every 100 rats saved. - Rats can walk underneath stopped trains, but beware, because those trains will be starting up again soon. - If you dare to live on the edge, try walking rats between two passing trains, or even horizontally down the center of a moving train (in between the rails). - Don't forget to use the emergency brake (by shaking your device, or by double-tapping the emergency brake icon) to temporarily stop all trains on screen. - The emergency brake also disables the vicious vacuum train. Trust us, you'll want to shut it down! - Watch the red pulsing emergency brake icon for a clue as to when the trains stopped with the emergency brake will start again. - If you get into a dangerous situation and feel that there is nowhere to go, hold your finger on top of the rat to keep it in place. - Pick up the light bulb item dropped by the garbage train. Use it during blackouts as a power restore by pressing the light bulb icon on the bottom left of the screen. - When you pick up a pill dropped by the garbage train, make sure you are ready for speedy rats. Your timing will be off, and they easily run into trouble. - Try to avoid the green and purple cheeses dropped by the garbage train. They are never helpful. - Rolling the dice dropped by the garbage train is usually worth it, as your chances are approximately 3-1 to get something you'll like. - When you hear a garbage train approaching, try to get a rat close to the track, and let the garbage train pass by. As soon as you can, start walking behind it, so you can easily pick up the dropped items. - Try to collect as many garbage train items as you can, but don't take too much risk. No item is worth losing a life! - Pick up money dropped by the money train to add 5 rats to the rats saved counter, boosting your highscore and bringing you closer to an extra life (every 100 rats saved). - Puddles are only dangerous after being electrocuted by the traveling sparks. The water itself, as well as the sparks traveling down the third rail, are not harmful. - Pay special attention to the snail and turtle rats, as they are about a third slower than all other rats. The leopard and zebra rats are actually the fastest rats. - You can start activating and controlling a rat as soon as it emerges (before the casino chip disappears, and also before the rat pauses on the platform). - Always try to minimize the time you spend on the tracks. The platforms are safe havens. Use them! - Don't get too close to the back of an express train. The rat will turn into a tornado and be out of your control for a few seconds. - If the game is too easy for you in the beginning, try playing in Fast Forward mode. To activate, hit the Fast Forward button in the top right corner. To deactivate, hit the button again. - Play with sounds, ideally with headphones, whenever you can. The train, signal, and other sounds help in anticipating danger, such as what kind of train is approaching, when to watch out for poison, etc. - If you don't want to hear the voices of the people on the subway, just disable them in the sound menu. - Be sure to try the different soundtracks in the sounds menu, or start your own iPod music before starting the game.

Our results include, as a special case, two 3F2 polynomials considered by Dickinson in 1961. We also discuss the location and interlacing of the real zeros of our polynomials. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Variants of P-frames and associated rings http://hdl.handle.net/10500/21795 Variants of P-frames and associated rings Nsayi, Jissy Nsonde We study variants of P-frames and associated rings, which can be viewed as natural generalizations of the classical variants of P-spaces and associated rings. To be more precise, we de ne quasi m-rings to be those rings in which every prime d-ideal is either maximal or minimal. For a completely regular frame L, if the ring RL of real-valued continuous functions of L is a quasi m-ring, we say L is a quasi cozero complemented frame. These frames are less restricted than the cozero complemented frames. Using these frames we study some properties of what are called quasi m-spaces, and observe that the property of being a quasi m-space is inherited by cozero subspaces, dense z- embedded subspaces, and regular-closed subspaces among normal quasi m-space. M. Henriksen, J. Mart nez and R. G. Woods have de ned a Tychono space X to be a quasi P-space in case every prime z-ideal of C(X) is either minimal or maximal. We call a point I of L a quasi P-point if every prime z-ideal of RL contained in the maximal ideal associated with I is either maximal or minimal. If all points of L are quasi P-points, we say L is a quasi P-frame. This is a conservative de nition in the sense that X is a quasi P-space if and only if the frame OX is a quasi P-frame. We characterize these frames in terms of cozero elements, and, among cozero complemented frames, give a su cient condition for a frame to be a quasi P-frame. A Tychono space X is called a weak almost P-space if for every two zero-sets E and F of X with IntE IntF, there is a nowhere dense zero-set H of X such that E F [H. We present the pointfree version of weakly almost P-spaces. We de ne weakly regular rings by a condition characterizing the rings C(X) for weak almost P-spaces X. We show that a reduced f-ring is weakly regular if and only if every prime z-ideal in it which contains only zero-divisors is a d-ideal. We characterize the frames L for which the ring RL of real-valued continuous functions on L is weakly regular. We introduce the notions of boundary frames and boundary rings, and use them to give another ring-theoretic characterization of boundary spaces. We show that X is a boundary space if and only if C(X) is a boundary ring. A Tychono space whose Stone- Cech compacti cation is a nite union of closed subspaces each of which is an F-space is said to be nitely an F-space. Among normal spaces, S. Larson gave a characterization of these spaces in terms of properties of function rings C(X). By extending this notion to frames, we show that the normality restriction can actually be dropped, even in spaces, and thus we sharpen Larson's result. 2015-12-01T00:00:00Z Algebraic and multilinear-algebraic techniques for fast matrix multiplication http://hdl.handle.net/10500/20180 Algebraic and multilinear-algebraic techniques for fast matrix multiplication Gouaya, Guy Mathias This dissertation reviews the theory of fast matrix multiplication from a multilinear-algebraic point of view, as well as recent fast matrix multiplication algorithms based on discrete Fourier transforms over nite groups. To this end, the algebraic approach is described in terms of group algebras over groups satisfying the triple product Property, and the construction of such groups via uniquely solvable puzzles. The higher order singular value decomposition is an important decomposition of tensors that retains some of the properties of the singular value decomposition of matrices. However, we have proven a novel negative result which demonstrates that the higher order singular value decomposition yields a matrix multiplication algorithm that is no better than the standard algorithm. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Cohomologies on sympletic quotients of locally Euclidean Frolicher spaces http://hdl.handle.net/10500/19942 Cohomologies on sympletic quotients of locally Euclidean Frolicher spaces Tshilombo, Mukinayi Hermenegilde This thesis deals with cohomologies on the symplectic quotient of a Frölicher space which is locally diffeomorphic to a Euclidean Frölicher subspace of Rn of constant dimension equal to n. The symplectic reduction under consideration in this thesis is an extension of the Marsden-Weinstein quotient (also called, the reduced space) well-known from the finite-dimensional smooth manifold case. That is, starting with a proper and free action of a Frölicher-Lie-group on a locally Euclidean Frölicher space of finite constant dimension, we study the smooth structure and the topology induced on a small subspace of the orbit space. It is on this topological space that we will construct selected cohomologies such as : sheaf cohomology, Alexander-Spanier cohomology, singular cohomology, ~Cech cohomology and de Rham cohomology. Some natural questions that will be investigated are for instance: the impact of the symplectic structure on these di erent cohomologies; the cohomology that will give a good description of the topology on the objects of category of Frölicher spaces; the extension of the de Rham cohomology theorem in order to establish an isomorphism between the five cohomologies. Beside the algebraic, topological and geometric study of these new objects, the thesis contains a modern formalism of Hamiltonian mechanics on the reduced space under symplectic and Poisson structures. 2015-08-01T00:00:00Z

Roberts sits among top five in nation
Daniel Roberts is entering his senior year at Mobridge Pollock high school. Last spring, Roberts beat Tigers 2006 graduate Billy Hardcastle's record throw and was ranked fourth in the nation among high school boys. Last season, Roberts owned the longest discus throw among juniors in the country and this August he will enter his senior year of high school holding the longest discus toss in South Dakota and the third longest throw in the country. This is generating himself, and Mobridge, national attention.
This is the first summer Roberts is eligible to be recruited seriously by universities and colleges sports programs. The NCAA's rules on recruiting high school athletes are strict and limit contact between coaches and players to all but a passing "hello." But July 1, coaches can call and visit players personally and suddenly Roberts found himself fielding calls and visits from coaches all over the nation.
Since June, he's heard from six division one programs including South Dakota State University, University of Nebraska, Minnesota State University, Brigham Young University and Arizona State University. He's had personal visits from all programs but Arizona.
Roberts seems unaffected by all the attention he's receiving this summer.
"It's been pretty regular so far," said Roberts. "The decision on where to go will come to me eventually."
Being in the top five of anything in the country is an impressive feat. Throwers from 50 different states and thousands of high schools competed for the top 10 spots in discus. What's more impressive than that, is Daniel Roberts learned the bulk of his throwing technique from online video sharing site YouTube.
"I just picked throwing up over time," said Roberts. "I would watch videos on the internet and then go out and try to do what I just saw."
With little to no formal training outside attending throwing camps sporadically, Roberts has managed to hurl himself onto the national track scene. Roberts said he wants to stay close to home to be with his father, Earl, mother, Elena and sister Jennie, but also wants to compete at a high level. SDSU and Nebraska have been particularly interesting to Roberts because both are close to home, yet compete at the division one level.
Roberts hasn't officially visited any schools as of this summer, but hopes to during the fall. Recently, he just made another big decision. Roberts wrestled with the idea of spending the fall practicing his throwing rather than playing football, but has since decided he will play. Roberts has also received attention from top tier schools to play football, but Robert's love is the discus.
"It was a tough decision because I want to train and work on my technique, but I also want to be in shape for throwing," said Roberts. "I've heard advice both ways, but I've been playing football with these guys for so long, they've almost become my brothers."
It's these friends, said Roberts, that keep him motivated to train and improve.
"My friends always come to watch me and get excited for me," said Roberts. "It really means a lot to have that support. I don't think I could do it without them."
Roberts' senior year is filled with decisions. His fall season will be filled with college visits and football and his Spring with track and chasing Billy Hardcastle's shot put record, which Roberts expects to beat. He expects to make his decision on college in February, but until then, said Roberts, he's taking life one thing at a time, trying to enjoy his blessings and the benefits of his hard work.
"This is a very new and exciting feeling," Said Roberts. "I'm very grateful for what I've been given and for my family and friends and what I've been provided."

Climb the groove then weave through the impressive bulges to gain the headwall and an exposed finish.
Fine at the grade and stars although the cruxy sections are no walk-over! Could do with a technical symbol or preferably a "committing" one ;). First roof is interesting, the finish even more so.


text: Let me start by staying I do not aspire to perfection. (If you've ever seen my house you will know that this is a gross understatement.) So you would think I'd be in complete agreement with Barnard President Debora Spar, whose recent piece in Newsweek is titled, "Why Women Should Stop Trying to Be Perfect." Spar's piece is accessible, clear, and often grimly funny in the way people sharing parenting stories can be. She writes of delivering a lecture in a suit that smelled of baby vomit, of slipping out of meetings to attend piano recitals, of missing track meets when a deadline loomed. I get it: she's been there, she's juggled home and family, and she has the scars to prove it.

One of Lodi's quintessential wines is the 2009 Peirano The Immortal Zin Old Vine Zinfandel: a silken, smooth, rather elegant rendering of this classically Californian grape, chiseled with fine, yet never overwrought or ungainly, tannins, brightly aromatic notes of wild raspberry and cranberry and zesty flavors that linger with sprinkles of cocoa dust and scrubby earth.
Even more amazing? Like each and every wine sold under the Peirano label, The Immortal Zin sells for just $12 per bottle!

Compliance Corner: Can RG3 Come Speak at My Church?
It's been so long ago, it seems like a different life. But as the volunteer College Director at my church in the early 1990s, I recruited Baylor players and coaches for a part of our Sunday morning service that we called "Bear Testimonials."
I hate to leave anyone out, but I specifically remember special visits from J.J. Joe, Derek Draper and former running backs coach Ken Rucker. Nearly 20 years later, those Sunday mornings remain special.
In this week's installment of Compliance Corner, I ask Associate Athletic Director for Compliance Keith Miller about any NCAA or in-house rules regulating such visits. And I'll confess, if there were any procedures back then, I didn't know about them.
Q: If I want to ask Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III or one of the other student-athletes to speak at my church, what do I need to do?
A: There are many NCAA rules having to do with promotional appearances by student-athletes. Thus, Baylor's Compliance staff closely analyzes requests for student-athlete promotional appearances. An individual/organization can request a student-athlete appearance by filling out and submitting an online form at the following website: http://www.baylorbears.com/comm-outreach/bay-donation-requests.html
Note that several restrictions apply and requests must be made a minimum of two weeks prior to the proposed event. The website and online form set forth other Baylor and NCAA guidelines. Note that student-athlete appearances may not interfere with class or other educational commitments and, if the request meets all requirements, it is still up to the student-athlete whether to attend.
If you have a compliance question or anything concerning NCAA rules and regulations, send me an e-mail at email@example.com and I will pass it on to Keith.
'Little Joe' Williams Unlikely Hero for Baylor's Defense
Joe Williams might be one of the most unlikely heroes you will ever meet.
For starters, in a game dominated by large, grown men who can power-lift small cars, Williams is 5-foot-9 and 185 pounds. He looks like he should be handing out equipment rather than actually wearing it.
Then there's the fact that he's a former high school quarterback from St. Louis, Mo., who had never even played defense until last year at Fort Scott (Kan.) Community College.
"I wanted to play quarterback," Williams said. "But my (high school) coach broke it down to me and explained that it would be a better fit for me with my athletic ability. I just looked at it as more of a challenge, learning something new and trying to get better at it. . . I had some tough times (last year at Fort Scott), but I had some good times, too."
Williams, who had never even heard of Baylor until a chance visit from assistant coach Jim Gush in the spring, had offers from Indiana and Missouri and nearly wound up at USC until the school turned him down, "because I was a mid-year transfer, and they didn't think I could catch up (academically) and play sports."
After redshirting in 2009, Williams had 30 tackles (28 solos), six pass breakups and one interception and returned one of his two fumble recoveries for a touchdown in his first season as a cornerback.
"What we saw on his (junior college) tape, watching him in one-on-one drills, is he had great ball skills," said Baylor head coach Art Briles, who signed Williams in May as a late extension to the 2011 recruiting class. "When the ball's in the air, he had great ability to make a play on the ball. That's the No. 1 thing you look for in a defensive back. Guys can flip their hips, they can run, they can cover, but can they play the ball when it's in the air? There are going to be a lot of jump-ball situations . . . you've got to make a play on it. And that's the No. 1 thing that we noticed about Joe."
Depth was obviously an issue. But with starters Chance Casey and Tyler Stephenson returning, redshirt freshman Tuswani Copeland making a push and transfers K.J. Morton and Demetri Goodson entering the mix, Williams looked like a long shot at best when camp started in August.
"My only concern was just to get better," Williams said. "I felt like if I could just get better every day, I'm going to do just fine on this level. The position battle didn't really down on me until like fall camp. All I was doing was working on trying to get better."
But with Copeland suffering a knee injury in the first week of camp, Morton and Goodson both getting a late start and then Stephenson going down with a sprained ankle in the first quarter of the season opener, Williams was thrown into the fire against 14th-ranked TCU.
"I kind of knew just to stay ready and stay calm, because you never know what's going to happen in a football game," Williams said. "I was mentally ready from taking reps in practice, but I was just thrown out there, so I had to go with the game flow. It was the heat of the battle, so you had to come with it."
Williams responded with six tackles in the Bears' 50-48 win over the Horned Frogs that got the year started off with a bang.
"That first series, I was just so excited to be out there," he said, "I had to come back to the sidelines and calm myself down."
After making his first start the next week, Williams was replaced by Morton and rotated in and out before Casey was moved to safety and then went down with a knee injury himself. Six weeks into the season, the Bears were going with a starting pair of corners that weren't even here in the spring.
"I think that says a lot about those two guys and the competitors they are," said cornerbacks coach Carlton Buckels, who has been kept busy trying to keep players standing in an injury-depleted secondary. "Joe was actually here a little bit longer than K.J. and kind of got his feet wet, so to speak. And then with the injuries that we've had in the secondary, those guys have stepped up, and I'm glad they're here."
Buckels was definitely smiling last Saturday, when Williams came up with arguably the biggest defensive play of the year.
After scoring on the first play in overtime, Kansas coach Turner Gill opted to go for a two-point conversion and the win. But Williams, despite giving up seven inches, batted down Jordan Webb's pass to 6-4 tight end Tim Biere on a fade route in the right corner of the end zone to secure the Bears' 31-30 victory.
The instant hero was on the bottom of a massive dogpile as Baylor (6-3, 3-3) celebrated becoming bowl-eligible for the seconds straight year.
"As soon as I saw them come out in that formation, I knew it was coming," Williams said. "We ran that play a lot in practice, I knew it was coming, so I just played the play."
"You've seen it all along," senior middle linebacker Elliot Coffey said. "You've seen him come downhill, you've seen him in coverage, you've seen him do great things. But that was a huge play. The tight end had the height advantage, but regardless, (Williams) made the play. It was awesome just knowing what he's capable of doing and seeing him do it. It's all that work finally showing."
Williams doesn't see his height as a disadvantage, "because I've got real long arms and some big hands. So I feel like I can go against a 6-4 receiver."
Since Buckels started at that size or smaller in the SEC at LSU, "I can't knock anybody's size, and you definitely can't know their heart and desire if they go out and make plays."
"Those guys have to play above and beyond their height and talent week-in and week-out," Buckels said of Williams and the 5-10 Morton. "The thing you look for is just playmakers. You want a guy that can make plays. It doesn't matter what size they are."
Williams and the Bears will be challenged again this week when they face fifth-ranked Oklahoma (8-1, 5-1) at 7 p.m. Saturday at Floyd Casey Stadium. And if anything, he's got a little bit more of a swagger after making his biggest play to date.
"I don't know if my confidence arises. It was already there," he said. "That's just part of doing our job. It's what we're supposed to do. It just happened to be a great play at the right time."
Compliance Corner: 'Occasional Meals' are OK, if . . .
Keith Miller, Associate Athletic Director for Compliance, has been kind enough to answer some commonly asked questions that apply specifically to boosters and fans of the Baylor Bears.
Each Tuesday, with Keith's help, I will blog on a compliance question of the week. So if you have a compliance question or anything concerning NCAA rules and regulations, send me an e-mail at email@example.com, and I will pass them on to Keith.
Here is the first weekly installment from the Compliance Corner:
Q: As a fan, is it OK for me to invite a student-athlete to my house for dinner?
A: It is permissible for a booster to provide an "occasional meal" for a student-athlete or entire team in a sport under certain conditions and with the approval of the head coach and Compliance Office. NCAA bylaw 188.8.131.52 allows a booster to provide such a meal on "infrequent and special occasions" so long as the meal takes place in an individual's home, on campus or at a facility that is regularly used for home competition. The meal may be catered. A booster may provide reasonable local transportation to student-athletes to attend the meal only if the meal is at the booster's home. Note that a booster may not provide an "occasional meal" at a restaurant.
If all of these requirements are met, a booster must submit an "Occasional Meal Request Form" for approval to the Compliance Office at least two days in advance of the proposed meal. The Compliance Office will evaluate the permissibility of the proposed meal and notify the requester whether she/he can proceed. Contact Josh Lens in the Compliance Office at 254-710-3893 to request the form.
Just for the record, I am also available for "occasional" or "very frequent" meals. And I'm pretty sure no forms are needed, but I'll check with Keith just to make sure.
In the meantime, if you have compliance questions or maybe a lunch invitation, shoot me an e-mail.

The arrest of Sea Shepherd founder Paul Watson in Frankfurt on Sunday is unlikely to lead to his arrest by Japan for a combination of reasons, one being that Tokyo does not have an extradition treaty with Berlin, according to Toru Chochi, a Japan Coast Guard official.
Also, the type of notice Interpol issued does not guarantee Watson's extradition but only means that member countries, including Japan, are to share information on him, Chochi said.
German police arrested Watson and he is likely to be extradited to Costa Rica at a later date. Costa Rican police accuse him of obstruction of shark-finning operations as well as attempted murder during a confrontation with shark fishermen in 2002.
Japan, which in recent years has faced disruptions from the Sea Shepherd conservation group for its whale hunts, does not have an extradition treaty with either Germany or Costa Rica, and therefore those countries are not obliged to extradite him here, Chochi said.
Even if the coast guard receives information on Watson's whereabouts, the government is unlikely to send investigators to Germany or Costa Rica because the allegations Japan has leveled against him are not serious, Chochi said.
Coast guard or police officials from Japan will only visit a suspect in a foreign country if the alleged crimes involve murder, rape or other serious matters, Chochi added.
Watson is accused of conspiring with Sea Shepherd member Peter Bethune, who was sentenced to a suspended prison term by the Tokyo District Court in July 2010. Bethune was found guilty of illegally boarding a Japanese whaling ship, assaulting a whaler, damaging the ship and obstructing whalers while they were working.
Putting someone on an international wanted list can mean different things, depending on what type of notice Interpol issues.
Japan asked Interpol to issue the so-called Blue Notice for Watson in June 2010. Such a notice demands member countries, including Japan, share information about Watson, Chochi said.
A Red Notice, which demands that all 190 countries that have joined Interpol cooperate on extradition requests from other member countries, was requested, but Interpol rejected that.
Interpol "would not publish a Red Notice seeking the arrest of Paul Watson because its Office of Legal Affairs was not satisfied that the request was in compliance with Interpol's constitution and rules," Interpol said in a news release dated March 2.
"Interpol does not itself issue arrest warrants. At the request of a member country it can publish a Red Notice, or international wanted persons alert. A Red Notice is not an international arrest warrant, nor can Interpol demand that any member country arrest the subject of a Red Notice," Interpol said in the release.
Sea Shepherd activists have been disturbing Japanese whalers working in the Southern Ocean in recent years, and the radical organization sees that as one of its most important missions. Due to being hounded by Sea Shepherd boats, Japanese whalers have failed to catch as many whales as planned over the last few years.
It is unknown how Watson's arrest will impact Japan's research whaling in the Antarctic. It will hinge on how long Watson is detained and whether other Sea Shepherd members continue to harass the whaling fleet.

After keeping a relatively low profile since the CBS upfront, where the network announced Ashton Kutcher as his replacement on Two and a Half Men, Charlie Sheen is back in the limelight. I hear the troubled actor has been pitched to some networks and studios for a new comedy series. It is unclear if there is a specific premise or the pitch is only for Sheen's acting services. According to TMZ, Sheen's camp is in "deep negotiations" with a broadcast network for a new sitcom that would go straight-to-series. CBS is out of the picture, and sources indicate that ABC and NBC are not happening either. That leaves Fox, where the actor took an exploratory meeting in March, as the only broadcast possibility, though the network loaded up on comedies for next season with three new half-hour series ordered and two more pilots — Family Album and Little in Common — in serious contention for midseason. Present at the March meeting were Fox Sports president David Hill as well as Fox entertainment chairman Peter Rice and alternative president Mike Darnell. At the time, there was a lot of speculation about a Sheen show at Fox or a sibling cable network, but nothing materialized. Also never happened: Sheen's Corner, the comedy series Sheen was "going to do" on HBO. Or his proposed show on HDNet. Industry insiders are skeptical that a major network or studio would jump in to sign Sheen for a regular series gig. "He is uninsurable," one top studio executive said. A guest spot on a comedy series is a different story. That could be ratings gold, and I hear many shows are interested.
Charlie Sheen Shopped Around For New Comedy Series; Will There Be Any Takers?
70 Comments
Of course it would be Fox.
His only way back in would be as a guest star, leading to a story arc, leading to being a regular again… IF he behaved himself every step along the way. But for now… NOT winning.
Would any sane company make a deal with this guy? He's pretty much made it clear he's going to do things his way and not bother with rehab.
The only way I see Sheen in another sitcom in the next few years is if he bankrolls it himself. Otherwise he's going to need some cooling off time for people to start forgetting all this ridiculousness with CBS and Two and A Half Men before he has a real career again.
I agree-Sheen is too much of a liability for anyone to have much faith in him. He needs to get into a rehab, then intensive therapy with possible medication to help alleviate the demons plaguing him that lead into drug addiction, underage girls, and erratic and unstable behavior. Remember, his father was an alcoholic and it can and often is genetically inherited. He also followed in his fathers footsteps, so this was his role model. Addiction is a disease, nothing to be ashamed of, but acceptance of it and seeking help for it can lead him into recovery. He is a good actor, and I do wish him the best, but he must stop living in denial.
"S**t Charlie Sheen Says."
Yeeeah, no one is going to want a liability. Run out of money already, Sheen?
liabilty? are u an idiot? u know he was the most payed right? liabilty ….. laughing my ass off u idiot
Nobody is "uninsurable". The premiums just get really expensive, and it becomes a business decision: is the potential return on this star's participation worth the extra investment?
Of course, you couldn't expect a studio executive to know that. It would require NOT TALKING OUT OF YOUR ASS like an ignorant douchebag.
Uh, I'm pretty sure that's what he meant. I think everyone understood it but thanks anyway.
No studio wants to have an actor that has far too high of premium rates to insure. It has nothing to do with Charlie Sheen talking like a douchebag and more to do with Charlie Sheen always overdosing on drugs, alcoholism, and risky promiscuous sex life. It's the same reason why Lindsay Lohan barely does anything now after she had a promising career start.
Watching 2 1/2 reruns over and over for years still makes me laugh.
Doubt he needs the money as the residual checks have to be huge so he must miss the work and will no doubt be more appreciative this time. Who ever makes this deal will be a genius or lose there job. Tough call to make in a town that is taking fewer risks each year.
Are you kidding? Charlie Sheen is the Howard Beale of 2011. His numbers would get numbers.
Sometimes the Howard Beale of 2011 becomes the "Leave Britney Alone" Guy of 2012.
Amazingly played.
Hell yes i'd hire him! It would be great if his new 'possible' show goes head to head with two and a half men. As a share holder in CBS and WB I'm very upset they didnt make things right.
Yes, because it's certainly not Sheen's fault in any way, shape or form.
Even if Two and a Half Men sans Sheen is not as successful neither CBS or WB will lose much and it will zero impact on share price (if you really are a shareholder, you should know that).
And that attitude is one of the problems in America right now; stockholders (of any industry) don't give a shit how their companies make money, just that they make money. It's despicable.
FYI: Charlie's the problem here, not the company. CBS, and/or WB, and/or Chuck Lorre made the right decision (finally). Firing Charlie may not help his recovery, but re-hiring him would have been egregious (and greedy) of them.
Go Charley, Go Charley!! Hey let the man be. He will survive and he will be back.. And we all would love that!
Charlie Sheen is an amazing actor who is a bit crazy but that's what makes him brilliant at the same time. He will be just fine with or without a tv show. I say Go Charlie!!!!
They should give him a new show and air it against the fake Two and a Half man !
That would be perfect
I hope it is true, i miss Charlie Sheen on my screen but given the sources are TMZ i am skeptical about this new sitcom news..i will wait something official..moreover i would prefer to see him on a cable show (more freedom and more chances of better writers) and above all i would prefer to see him come back on movies..a new baseball movie or/and a movie directed by somebody like Tarantino, the Coen Brothers, Tim Burton ect…Producers of course have to be gutsy to work with him so soon ;after all this drama and in his so politically correct atmosphere but it would be worth trying..Charlie has a strong following and intrigues/interests people..it is worth it.
Ha-ha at Tarantino, Tim Burton and Coen bros. remarks. Honey, Charlie Sheen's movie career was dead years ago. Because he is old. And doesn't have talent like Clooney or Pitt to act in their age. Just because Lindsay Lohan, Charlie Sheen, Kardashians, Jersey Shore freaks, teen moms idiots are in our faces every day and live on gossip sites it doesn't mean they are movie stars and can sell a movie. Tarantino and Coen bros. Don't read Life&Style or TMZ site. And they won't think: "Oh look at that idiot on the cover or US Weekly. Why won't I hire him as actor on my movie. Oh look at that Kardashian on cover of InTouch. She looks so talented. I will hire her in my movie"…
That's why Zac Efron's movie career is dead. He was everywhere. On every gossip site. Every day. But it didn't help to sell his Charlie St.Cloud movie. And producers don't hire him in blockbusters movies. He is the perfect example of how those celebrities live in the gossip sites and every day paparazzi pictures, show up to every event in Hollywood and then think they that are movie stars now. They are not. Charlie Sheen thought that since he was all over the media in USA then it means everyone will watch him anywhere. And then his Tour failed and they were giving tickets for free.
That 2 and a half men gig saved him from "where are they now" list. And he blew it.
Ok obviously you want to bash Sheen but it is pretty clear you don't know this actor very well.. Charlie Sheen was a movie star far before Georges Clooney, who still at that time tried to make it with some 'obscure' and serie-b-zzz movies/tv shows..(for Clooney after tv land success with ER it is Soderbergh who gave him his chance and allow him to become a serious movie actor, the guy was a joke with the batman movie Steven 'saved' him in a way and he got bigger whereas he was considered as an 'old' actor). Of course if you want some fun comparison between the two guys, they have had once the same girlfriend..Kelly Preston..ha. And you also want to make some comparisons with Pitt ? Really ? Brad Pitt is on every US Weekly covers every freaking weeks, celeb gossip medias are obsessed with the guy as they are with Sheen but it doesn't stop directors to hire him, (actually..whether we like it or not it increase Pitt's popularity and make him even more bankable…american society is obsessed with celebs..)
As for Directors like Tarantino, Coen Bros you know Tarantino made his most successful and iconic movie… a certain 'Pulp Fiction' with an actor who was said 'dead as an actor'..you know a certain John Travolta.. Of course these directors don't read gossip, shallow press but all the industry saw (for the better or the worse) Charlie's surrealistic and colorful interviews..they watch youtube..be sure of that.
As for reality stars or other teen idol like Zac Efron..come on they are not and will never be in the same league as Charlie Sheen could be even when he is at his low phase..call me when Zac Efron makes a Platoon..'honey'.
So while it is not sure that the guy could make a great come back on movies, it is just possible..Time will tell..
I'm surprised he did this show without ownwership???
Not since Alec Guinness has someone so spectacularly burned his bridges. I can't imagine any network executive sticking out their neck to order a series based on the reliability of Charlie Sheen. Fox, of all networks, should have learned their lesson when Ally McBeal died a quick death after Robert Downey relapsed and left the show.
Why, b/c Guinness didn't get along with Lean? All the Star Wars people said he was great and professional. And, pretty damn smart it seems, since he got a 2% of the gross.
And who even remembered Downey was on that crap show. it died b/c it was a bad show.
And what is with all the non sequiturs? Nothing in your posting follows or makes any sense.
Hey Charlie, what's working twice as hard for one tenth the money called?
Here's a hint: it's not called winning.
Yeah just like that non-existence HBO show where he will have 5 million dollars per episode :)
Dear Charlie Sheen. Please stop calling TMZ and telling them that someone is interested in hiring you.
That failure tour of his didn't teach him anything. That idiot thinks that since "2 and half men" had 16 million viewers then it's automatically means that they are Charlie Sheens fans. They are not. They just watch the show. They don't care about you. And they will not run to see you in the new show. If some idiots will hire him for a 12-episodes show then it still will probably fail. People will show up for the first episode to see that troll just from curiosity. I know I will. But after that no one will return for further episodes.
His guest appearances will not bring golden ratings. Remember all that hype around Jennifer Aniston appearance on Cougar Town? That didn't translate to any big ratings.
They always put $hit on fox that wont air on any other station maybe he has a last chnce on fox i mean come on look at fox news there only "winning" show is the o'Rily factor and thats getting old charlie sheen will soon realise he may only have one last chance to redeem himself in hollywood take a look back at robert downy he screwed up and came back bigger and better than ever. hollywoods always rootin for a cumback kid.
He should take Tracy Morgan's place on 30 Rock.
Could FOX be looking at him for a comedy series for 11pm Saturday Nights?
He's gross, he's a pig, he's a degenerate, and he is unliked by a majority of Americans, who are just fed up with his mouth and his idiotic antics and quest for self-glorification. Please, Hollywood execs, for once in your life, grow a pair and stand up to this jerk. Don't hire him. Don't feed into that drug-addled ego and hate-filled mouth. Just make this "thing" (he's not a functioning 'person') go away.
Sheen was less and less a reason to watch Two and Half Men for a few seasons now. The supporting cast is far funnier. Still, I have no doubt Sheen will come back from this. He may never have the success he had with Two and a Half Men, and personally I have zero interest in watching Sheen, but he might be moderately successful.
I won't watch him after what he did to 2 and half men..
