Common, Leonard Peltier: Rapper Attempts to Help Free Imprisoned Activist
NEW YORK (AP) – When Harry Belafonte asked Common to participate in a benefit concert in support of freeing Native American activist Leonard Peltier, who is serving two life sentences for the 1975 execution-style deaths of two FBI agents, he did some research before giving his answer.
"I did my own due diligence," Common said in a telephone interview Thursday with The Associated Press.
He decided to participate Friday in the "Bring Leonard Peltier Home Concert" at New York's Beacon Theatre, joining a lineup that includes Belafonte, Jackson Browne, Pete Seeger and others.
"If I can really help a man be free from something he was accused of and is innocent and wants to be with his family, I can't get up there and say I can't do this because I may have a chance to get more record sales, or this film company is not going to decide to use me," the 40-year-old rapper-actor said of his decision.
The concert is being held to raise awareness of Peltier's plea for clemency. Peltier has maintained that he was framed by the FBI for the deaths of Jack Coler and Ronald Williams, shot execution-style during a standoff on a South Dakota Indian reservation. He has appealed his conviction several times but has been denied. The 68-year-old was last denied parole in 2009 and won't be eligible again until 2024. His advocates say he has been in poor health in recent years.
Common is no stranger to standing up for what he believes, even when it's controversial. In 2000, he recorded "A Song for Assata" on behalf of Assata Shakur, formerly JoAnne Chesimard. She was convicted in the 1973 slaying of a New Jersey State trooper but escaped from prison and is believed to be living in Cuba.
The recording artist says he's not soft on crime and feels that convicted criminals should serve their time "in respect to the system." But he also feels that when someone is unjustly convicted "it's up to all of us to find the truth."
Peltier's story has been the subject of several films, most notably the Michael Apted documentary, "Incident at Oglala," narrated by Robert Redford. Songs about him include "Native Son" by U2 and "Freedom" by Rage Against the Machine.
Peltier is an author and artist, and has continued his activism behind bars.

Parents have been offered advice from an internet child abuse expert with Essex Police.
Det Sgt John Woodley, from the police online investigation team, believes primary school children in Essex need to be aware of online stranger danger with children being groomed daily.
He recommended parents visit http://www.ceop.police.uk/ for top tips to keep your children safe.
He said: "Unfortunately online incidents are not rare. People are aware of it and a lot more resources are being put into investigating it because it is happening every day.
"The important thing is getting the message across to children early.
"In the past we were talking to secondary schools but it needs to start earlier in primary schools for instance eight and nine-year-olds who are actively engaged in online gaming."
Essex Police have mounted 231 investigations into online images of child sex abuse in the past year.
The figures, released by the NSPCC, show just how many predatory paedophiles are using the internet.
The county now has 20 officers dedicated to online investigations.
Since the team was set up in 2009, it has convicted or cautioned 195 offenders, with more investigations ongoing.
It also works to educate children and their parents about using the internet safely.
Det Sgt Woodley added: "In this day and age the stranger danger conversation is needed earlier."
He said the aim is not to scare or punish children, many of whom won't tell adults what is happening for fear of losing internet privileges, but children need to be aware of the dangers as well as the benefits of the internet.

There's another topper to our story on Tuesday of Rio magician headliner Penn Jillette's $15,000 win for our beloved charity Opportunity Village.
We've now learned that the Food Network's "Rachael vs. Guy" hosts Rachael Ray and UNLV alumnus and star chef Guy Fieri also each donated $2,500 to O.V. after watching Penn come within just one point of NFL legend Herschel Walker, who won the six-week celebrity cook-off competition and the $50,000 first-place prize.
Total winnings from Penn's participation came to $20,000, which is a beautiful way to be compensated for losing on the Season 3 final scoreboard 500-499.
LIVE 'BAR RESCUE': Host and producer Jon Taffer plans to give his "Bar Rescue" fans an opportunity to go beyond the screen and get behind-the-scenes when he presents three sessions of the Spike hit during the Nightclub & Bar Show from March 24-26.
"It will be a full-immersion experience with the experts from the show," said Jon. "They will deliver their expertise to owners, operators and managers, and regular fans can watch as it happens to see how we increase that bottom line."
On March 25, Jon also hosts a "Bar Rescue" Happy Hour at Tryst in Wynn. Jon will present his all-star lineup of Russell Davis, Elayne Duff, Kevin Vanegas and Tony Gemignani (of Pizza Rock downtown), all of whom appear regularly on "Bar Rescue." Thom Greco will moderate a panel with past rescued owners revealing where they are now.
STRIPPED STARS: Porn princess Jenna Haze is the cover girl on the February issue of StripLV Magazine. What's not so expected is that inside, you'll get features on Zowie Bowie, celebrity chef Charlie Palmer and L.V. restaurant royal Elizabeth Blau.
Don't panic; they don't go naked! Chris Phillips tells Maria Santos the history behind Zowie Bowie, and Elizabeth is lauded by Byron Croft in his series "Women Who Made Las Vegas." Charlie shares his "Love of Cooking" in a "Take It From the Chef" column. Also making appearances in between naked layouts: Recycled Percussion on their "junk rock" and an excerpt from Monti Rock's upcoming book "Unmasked."
There's even a photo shoot of Robin Thicke at the Palms and an advance look at Bruno Mars' shows this weekend at the Cosmopolitan. My good friend, and former StripLV cover girl, Playboy's sexy Andrea Lowell from our VH1 series "Fame Games" filmed here, has a "Strong & Sexy" health column with this issue.
UPCOMING: Body English at the Hard Rock Hotel is reopening Thursday nights transforming into an 1980s and '90s hotspot featuring fun fashion and music of the two decades mixed by DJs Hass Deniro and Mikey Swift. Each week, there will be different hosts and performances from yesteryear, starting tonight with Color Me Badd and continuing Feb. 27 with Vanilla Ice.
Electric Daisy Carnival fans can breathe a sigh of relief and get a fix as we have reached the halfway point of the announced dates for this year's festival. Insomniac and Marquee at the Cosmopolitan have joined forces for the first-ever winter pool party ( under a temperature controlled dayclub dome) on Sunday afternoon with a staggering DJ lineup. Count the days; it will arrive sooner than you think.
"Monty Python" writer and star Eric Idle attended Penn & Teller's magic show at the Rio. He went backstage afterward for a late-night dinner with longtime friend Penn.

Carnival lasts all year at the Rio. With a float occasionally passing overhead and dropping beads while feathered dancers fire up the gamblers below, the Rio tries to keep its 120,000-square foot casino jumping with excitement. Special Brazilian mixed-drinks are also served throughout the casino. The hotel suites tend to be larger than similar priced rooms on the Strip and many offer excellent views with floor to ceiling windows.
The Rio offers some quality shows like "Penn & Teller" and "Chippendales." Many come to the Rio for the nightlife at the VooDoo Lounge, located on the 51st floor, or McFadden's Irish Pub on the casino level.
Others come for a bit relaxation at the Rio Spa or pool area and still others come to shop at the hotel's 60,000 square feet of shops. In each of these endeavors, the Rio attempts to make the experience a bit more fun and spontaneous.
The Rio also offers guests a variety of dining choices from all-American food at the All-American Bar & Grille to Gaylord India Restaurant for something a little spicier and even Carnival World Buffet for the indecisive.

Street Art
New Liqen Mural in Chichester, U.K.May 14, 2013
View Gallery
With assistance from Namaz and a lift, Liqen painted this incredibly dark, highly detailed mural for a local street art festival in Chichester, U.K. We are curious as to how long it will take for someone to complain about the "negative imagery" and organize a group of people to get it painted over. You know it is inevitable with work like this, but we hope we are wrong.

This is one case where we'll let the numbers tell the story:
When your feet are locked into your snowboard and you lose your balance, you're going to fall either forwards or backwards. Think about what happens when you fall. You instinctively reach out your arms and hands to catch yourself. Snowboarding gloves with wrist guards help protect your wrists from injury. And the best part is, when you have a pair of snowboard gloves with built-in wrist guards, you'll never have to worry about misplacing your wrist guards again.
A good pair of protective snowboard gloves has a built-in wrist guard to give you protection and support. XsportsProtective carries a full line of Level protective snowboarding gloves. All Level BioMex snowboard gloves feature BioMex wrist guards, which have been shown to reduce the likelihood of a snowboard wrist injury by 7.5 times. The Biomex wrist guard is flexible, shock reducing, and ergonomically designed. It is made from high-density rubberized plastic with a split "swallow-tail" wrist support that, upon impact, flexes to disperse the blunt force from a fall. The BioMex wrist guard also has a central pivot system at the base of the palm, so that you can position the two-piece guard in whichever way is most comfortable for you.
How to Choose: Snowboard Protective Gloves and Snowboard Wrist Protection. If you have a specific question about protective snowboard gloves (or other snowboard protective gear), please call or email us. We're here for you. Spend less time shopping and more time enjoying snowboarding.

Report: Drew Gooden will not play for Finland during World Cup
Washington Wizards forward Drew Gooden will not play for Finland during the 2014 FIBA World Cup, TruthAboutIt.net's Kyle Weidie reports.
According to Weidie, Gooden was unable to obtain citizenship in time to be on the final 12-man roster for the tournament which starts this month. Earlier this month it was reported he was going to play for Finland. His mother is Finnish, but he was raised in the United States.
More: Derrick Rose sitting out could mean trouble
The 32-year-old Gooden scored 8.3 points and grabbed 5.2 rebounds per game last season for the Wizards. He re-signed with Washington last month.
Gooden's Washington teammates John Wall and Bradley Beal were cut from the United States roster ahead of the World Cup earlier this month.

American Eagle Marine Completes Salvage Jo
A six-week operation to salvage the 900-ton supply vessel Galveston was completed by American Eagle Marine, for Maitland Bros, of Pennsylvania, 1.5 miles south of Venice, La. With the former Penrod jack up drilling rig Zeus, the Galveston was "jacked up" from its resting position at the bottom of the river. A series of four 300-ton capacity link chains were directed and placed under the vessel's hull, each tied off to the deck of the Zeus. Then the tremendous amount of silt which had accumulated in the vessel since its sinking was removed, and the rig's dock and the wreck itself were "jacked" up sufficiently to bring theGalveston to the surface. The vessel is now safely moored in Venice, awaiting her final determination.
The Galveston collided with the 593-foot Panamanian freighter Atticos in March 1993 and immediately sank in 85 feet of water. American Eagle Marine was called upon then to help recover missing crew and cargo and stabilize the wreck

This one really hurts the PC fanboys. It wasn't that long ago that they thought they had another great exclusive, but now Witcher 2 is coming to Xbox 360 in a new enhanced edition of the game.
With the new Developer Diary Series from CD Projekt RED studio, you can see just how the game was taken from the PC and recreated for the Xbox 360. You will also learn about some the new changes and enhancements coming to the new edition of the game.
From the Official Press Release
"The Xbox 360 version is actually an adaptation of the PC title, not a port. What we mean by adaptation is that we effectively rebuilt the game to make it feel native to the console," explains John Mamais, executive producer at CD Projekt RED.
"In creating the Xbox 360 version of the game, we've gone beyond simply porting it to the new platform. Instead, we've created a full adaptation of The Witcher 2 for the console. We've changed the game's controls and its menus to reflect the differences between the platforms, and we've made extensive modifications to the RED Engine to make sure that the graphics are jaw-dropping for Xbox 360 players. We're proud of the fact that this will be one of the best-looking games ever to come to the Xbox 360, while also being one of the most complex RPGs ever brought to console gamers. Current PC gamers should be pleased to know that they will receive all new content free of charge, including 4 more hours of gameplay." says Adam Badowski, head of the CD Projekt RED studio.

Raleigh, N.C. — Less than 24 hours after the final $21.73 billion budget deal was unveiled, state senators voted 33-16 along party lines Tuesday to tentatively approve it.
A final Senate vote is expected Wednesday. Meanwhile, House members defeated a proposal to move its vote up one day and will vote on the budget Thursday and shortly after midnight Friday.
The temporary spending plan lawmakers put in place until they could craft a final budget runs through Friday.
"We have a budget that fairly represents the priorities of both the House and Senate," said Senate budget chief Harry Brown, R-Onslow.
Brown highlighted funding for education, money for repairs and renovations and changes in the distribution of new sales tax revenue to help rural counties.
"The plan will ultimate help struggling counties, and that is a positive step for the state. No local government will lose revenue," he said.
Democrats in the chamber complained loudly that they had not had time to read the 636-page document before having to vote on it. It was published online shortly before midnight, and hard copies were not available until Tuesday morning.
"If you can tell I haven't shaved, it's because I was in my office all night trying to read this thing," said Sen. Jeff Jackson, D-Mecklenburg, arguing that the rush to vote is disrespectful to Democratic lawmakers and their constituents. "This is as bad as it gets. This is just about rock bottom."
Sen. Tom Apodaca, R-Henderson, recalled years under Democratic leadership when the minority party didn't see the budget until they came into the chamber to vote on it.
"This is exactly what you complained about when you were in the minority and my party abused the process," Jackson said. "You campaigned on this."
"It's time to get this done," said Senate Presidento Pro Tem Phil Berger. "We've now converted from 'Why haven't you gotten this done?' to 'Why are you going so fast?'"
Sen. Josh Stein, D-Wake, said the money the budget spends on tax cuts should have gone to schools and universities and teacher pay instead.
"We had a budget surplus this year. When are we going to make up for some of the ground we lost during the recession? Why aren't we doing it now?" Stein asked.
"It emphasizes tax relief for rich and out-of-state corporations at the expense of the average North Carolinian," agreed Sen. Dan Blue, D-Wake. "When you raise motor vehicles fees by $200 million, I know that the average working person is going pay more to drive their car."
"Yes, there were some increases in some fees, but the cuts in the taxes exceeded the increases of the fees," responded Apodaca. "So, that's fiscal responsibility."
Berger, R-Rockingham, said the budget reflects Republican priorities of tax relief and fiscal conservatism, saying that the plan's increase in the rainy day fund will bring that reserve to well over $1 billion.
"We have learned the lesson of 2010," Berger said, referring to the tight budget in the wake of the national recession. "You cannot spend all the money you have."

By Matthew Postins
The Dallas Cowboys have a safety problem. The question is how did the Cowboys get here?
Historically the Cowboys have done a great job of finding quality safeties and keeping them for long periods of time. Witness the 1970s and the tandem of Cliff Harris and Charlie Waters, a pairing that still has to be considered among the best in NFL history. The 1990s brought Darren Woodson for more than a decade of stellar safety play. To a lesser degree, Roy Williams fits this mold as well.
Right now none of the safeties on the Cowboys' roster would qualify as great:
Barry Church: Easily the best safety on the roster, but by no means an elite player.
Jeff Heath: An undrafted Division II star that ended last season as the starter at strong safety.
Matt Johnson: A fourth-round pick in 2012 that hasn't played a down for the Cowboys due to injury. But right now he is Church's backup at strong safety.
J.J. Wilcox: A third-round pick in 2013 that played safety for one year in college, the Cowboys pushed him into a starting role a month into the season and his performance was spotty at best. He gave way to Heath after an injury.
That is the extent of the safety position right now in Dallas. The team has been seriously hampered by Johnson's injuries. The Cowboys believe he can be a dual-threat safety, but he's never had the chance to show it. The Cowboys also jettisoned their veteran safety, Will Allen, too soon last year. That put Wilcox in a bad position. Wilcox impressed observers with his ability to hit, but the Cowboys were asking him to step into a starting role after a month and it didn't work. It doesn't mean Wilcox won't develop this offseason. But his performance in 2013 was as much about Wilcox's learning curve as it was about the Cowboys' rush to put him into the starting lineup. Heath is a nice player, but players from Division II – especially undrafted free agents – need even more time to develop.
That's why safety has become, after the defensive line, a popular first-round selection for the Cowboys in mock drafts this offseason.
The Cowboys will host a safety at Valley Ranch this month – Jimmie Ward of Northern Illinois. The two top safeties in the draft, Alabama's Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and Louisville's Calvin Pryor are not believed to be visiting. That doesn't mean the two players are not on the big board at Valley Ranch. The Cowboys get 30 visits and theoretically, the scouting staff had enough face time with both at the scouting combine or at their pro days to get what they needed to evaluate both.
Remember – the Cowboys, like every other NFL team – have been scouting these players for at least eight months, if not close to a year. There are few surprises left.
The Cowboys need more help at the position. But it has to be the right help. That's where understanding the defensive scheme, the Cover 2, comes in.
The roles of the safety in football are traditionally distinct. The strong safety is the player that knows how to hit and typically helps a bit more against the run. The free safety is the rangy defender who is usually more helpful in pass coverage. On the surface it feels like the positions are filled with freelancers, but that's not the case at all.
Draw a straight line down the middle of the field parallel to the sideline, thus cutting the field in half. Then, from the line of scrimmage draw a line across the field 15 to 20 yards downfield. Where those two lines intersect is where safety play begins. In the Cover 2 one safety gets one side of the field and one safety gets the other.
This is part of the reason both safeties in the Cover 2 must be able to defend the pass well. That's a lot of room to cover. Plus there are additional responsibilities. The strong safety must read the middle of the field and watch for running backs and tight ends running free underneath. Linebackers should pick these players up, but at some point they must release them in order to stick to their assignments. The tight end seam and the ubiquitous running back wheel routes are tricky reads for any strong safety.
The free safety, in addition to being a pass defender, will sometimes become involved in blitzing the quarterback. Or, if one of the linebackers goes up field on a blitz, the free safety must then replace that linebacker in his coverage area.
When I covered the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Monte Kiffin tweaked these basic assignments due to Ronde Barber's unique skill set. Kiffin consistently used Barber as a slot cornerback on third downs, sliding him inside so he could also use Barber as a blitzing corner. In these situations the free safety would roll over to assume coverage of the slot receiver Barber would release on the snap.
Last year Kiffin used Orlando Scandrick in this inside slot role and Scandrick's overall play improved from 2012. But the Cowboys were beat up the middle more often in 2013. The reason? The Cowboys did not have the quality safeties that the Buccaneers had in the mid-2000s, much less Woodson or Harris or Waters.
That's why it makes sense for the Cowboys to spend a pick in the first, second or third rounds on a safety that provides a multiple package of skills sets. That's a hard safety to find, but Ward is a little unique in that way. He's played both safety and corner in college, possesses great speed, knows how to tackle and displayed toughness by running 4.47 in the 40 on a broken foot at his pro day. Note that I think Clinton-Dix possesses the same kind of versatility, and Pryor a little less so.
Also don't rule out the Cowboys taking a cornerback and turning him into a safety. The Bucs did this during the time I covered the team with Tanard Jackson. He played corner in college, but the Bucs saw qualities on film that led them to believe he could be converted to safety. The Bucs drafted him and for a few years Jackson was a quality starter on the back row.
The Cowboys cannot stay pat at the position. While Church is solid, there are too many question marks surrounding the other three safeties. It's certainly possible they may develop quickly into the kind of talent the Cowboys need at the position. But, like the defensive line, the Cowboys need numbers and depth. Not addressing the position with a selection that can offer help in 2014 isn't an option.

Gareth Bale turns on the afterburners to win Copa del Rey for Real Madrid
Welsh star storms down the wing late on in Clasico to leave Barcelona looking at a trophyless season
Gareth Bale raced away to score a stunning late winner as Real Madrid made light of the absence of top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo to beat arch-rivals Barcelona 2-1 to win a riveting Copa del Rey final on Wednesday.
Wales winger Bale, who joined Real for a world record fee in the close season, galloped down the left wing into the penalty area in the 85th minute at Valencia's Mestalla stadium and slipped the ball superbly between the legs of Barca goalkeeper Jose Manuel Pinto.
Angel Di Maria had put Real ahead in the 11th minute in the 228th meeting between the two sides when he finished off a swift break with a low shot that Pinto could only palm into the net before Marc Bartra headed in from Xavi's corner in the 68th to make it 1-1.
After Bale struck, Barca had a chance to send the match into extra time in the 89th minute when Neymar, the Catalan club's marquee signing of the close season, found space in the area but his stabbed effort crashed back off a post when he had the goal at his mercy.
"I think the team played a fabulous match tonight in a very entertaining game," Real captain Iker Casillas said.
"We are happy for all the fans who came here to Valencia tonight," added the Spain keeper, who was beaten only once, by Bartra's goal, in nine matches in this season's Cup.
"Now we have to enjoy this moment and think about the league and the Champions League."
Bale was the first Welshman to feature in Spain's 'Clasico' between the world's two richest clubs by income and his wonder goal went some way towards justifying the 100 million euros Real paid Tottenham Hotspur to lure him to La Liga.
The 24-year-old, whose season has been disrupted by a series of minor injuries, stepped up to fill the void left by Ronaldo, who has been sidelined by knee and muscle problems in his left leg, and outshone Barca's four-times World Player of the Year Lionel Messi, who again failed to perform on the big stage.
It was Real's 19th victory in Spain's domestic Cup competition, seven fewer than record winners Barca, and their second in four years after they beat the Catalan club 1-0 in the 2011 showpiece.
It was also a first trophy for their Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti in his debut season and his side still have a chance of becoming only the second team after Barca in 2009 to win a treble of La Liga, Champions League and King's Cup titles.
They are second in the domestic league, three points behind leaders Atletico Madrid with five games left, and play holders Bayern Munich in the semi-finals of Europe's elite club competition this month.
"We deserve it because we played better and had more chances," Portugal captain Ronaldo, who was watching the game from the stands, said.
"We are very pleased with the first trophy of the season and we have two more which we will fight for."
For Barca, a nightmare week comes to an end when they were dumped out of Europe by Atletico and suffered a shock 1-0 defeat at Granada in La Liga that left them four points off the top.
Wednesday's reverse marks the first time they have lost three matches in a row since the beginning of 2003 and coach Gerardo Martino looks likely to end his debut campaign with nothing more than the season-opening Spanish Super Cup.

text: FACT OR FAKED PARANORMAL FILES (Syfy) Early Review July 13, 2010 Reviews, Syfy The Syfy network has helped to bring the real life paranormal to the mainstream. Shows like Ghost Hunters and Destination Truth have inspired real people to come forward with their own paranormal evidence. The problem is, many hoaxsters have also submitted their footage making outlets like YouTube filed with a large numbers of videos that leave viewers wondering FACT OR FAKED? Because of this, Syfy had the brilliant idea of developing a new show, Fact or Faked Paranormal Files, that's sole purpose is to substantiate armature evidence. A credible team made up of a special effects specialist, an ex-FBI agent, a photography expert, a scientist, a stunt expert, and a journalist investigate popular paranormal evidence and determine if it's Fact or Faked. In episode one, the team analyzes a popular YouTube video that has generated over 5 million hits. It's taken from the camera in a Georgia police car and it features a car chase that ends with a vehicle seemingly driving through a fence and then disappearing. The team head out to Georgia to interview the Policeman and use their state of the art equipment to determine if the footage can be explained by science or if it's paranormal. What's great about this case is that the footage was taken by a police car's camera which makes it more credible than your average YouTube video. To give you a better idea of what this show is all about, try to think of Destination Truth mixed with MythBusters. The team will recreate the events of their evidence to see if there is any way it could have been faked. It's an amazingly interesting show and well worth checking out. If you are a fan of the paranormal then this show is definitely for you. Be sure to check out Fact or Faked Paranormal Files Thursday July 15th at 10/9c on Syfy!

A bunch of 22,23-year-olds deciding what might be fake? Really! No, I mean really? Digital photo/video alteration is older than they are…. Give me a break Steph W Actually, this was a very interesting show. Instead of going in with the attitude that everything is real, they go in with the purpose of first debunking it. The group has a varity of backgrounds; from Jael who worked on Destination Truth to an ex-FBI agent and special effects crew. They go in with the mindset that everything is faked and work from there. The two episodes I saw last night had at least one video debunked. I, for one, find it very refreshing when a paranormal team goes in and tries to find a mundane explanation instead of assuming it's always paranormal. Richard the show where they were looking for finger prints on the back of cars from ghost children that push cars past railroad tracks. im pretty sure your suppose to put the "baby powder" on the car befor you try the test. not try and dust for prints after the car is pushed like cops do.. if ghosts do exist i dont think they have oily hands, think outside the box people got me… Todd This and the fact that the didn't do a land survey to check the slope of the land BEFORE all the crazy ghost tests is the reason I won't watch this show again. I guess they want it to be an hour show so they explore all the crazy explanations before something more realistic.

An honorable military record, as well as a creditable career in private life, has made Mr. Davis well worthy of representation in the history of his adopted state. Born in Wyoming county, Pennsylvania, on the 11th of August, 1846, he is a son of Adolph Davis, who also was a native of the Keystone state. His people, however, were natives of New York and were of Welsh descent. Adolph Davis became an attorney of marked ability, and was well informed not only on matters of the law, but on all questions of general interest. He made his home upon a farm during the greater part of his life, and in early manhood he married Miss Sallie Ellis, a native of Pennsylvania and a daughter of Jesse Ellis. They had one child, the subject of this review. The father died in the prime of life and the mother afterward married a Mr. Baker, by whom she had eight children.
Thomas Davis was reared in the county of his nativity and in its public schools acquired his preliminary education, which was supplemented by study in the high school and academy at Montrose, Susquehanna county, Pennsylvania. When only seventeen years of age he responded to the country's call for aid, and, joining the "blue," went to the front in March, 1864, as a member of Company H, One Hundred and Forty-first Regiment of Pennsylvania Infantry, under the command of Captain John L. Guile. His first active experience on the field was at the battle of the Wilderness, on the 5th, 6th and 7th of May, 1864. It was one of the most hotly-contested engagements of the war, and the losses on both sides were very heavy. Two days later he participated in the engagement of Spottsylvania Court House, where the Union loss was again terrible. He was there wounded by a grape shot, which pierced the elbow of his left arm and almost tore away the lower part of that member. On account of injuries he was sent to Harwood Hospital, Washington, D. C., and subsequently was transferred to the hospital in Little York, Pennsylvania. where he remained until honorably discharged from service, on the 23d of December, 1864. He returned to Wyoming county, Pennsylvania, and subsequently was a student of Montrose.
On the 1st of February, 1869, Mr. Davis was united in marriage to Miss Jennie O. Crawford, who was born in Wyoming county, Pennsylvania, and has proved to her husband a faithful companion and helpmeet on life's journey. She is a daughter of John Crawford, who had two brothers in the Civil war, Charles having laid down his life on the altar of his country, while Alpheus lost his right arm during the war. John Crawford married Miss Orinda Harvey, who was born in the Empire state, and they became the parents of eight children: Wesley, Schuyler, Mrs. Davis, Rosetta, Betsy, Allen, Esther and Lucia. The father died in Wyoming county, Pennsylvania, at the age of sixty-five years, and the mother passed away in the same county when she had reached the psalmist's age of three-score years and ten.
Thomas Davis and his family removed to Smith county, Kansas, in 1880, locating in Smith Center, where they lived ten years. In 1890 he went to Superior, Nebraska, where he remained until 1892, when he went with his family to Logan county, taking up a homestead at Russell Springs, where they remained until 1896. They then came to Willis and have since been esteemed residents of this place. Mr. and Mrs. Davis have four living children and one deceased, namely: Mary, the wife of Gilbert Torsen, of Kansas City, Kansas; Emma, the wife of I. D. Massman, of Smith Center, Kansas; Ida, the deceased wife of William Peck, of Smith Center; Charles, who is living in Wyoming; and John J., attending school.
Mr. Davis gives his political support to the Republican party, and socially he is connected with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Knights of Pythias and the Grand Army of the Republic. Both he and his wife attend the services of the Methodist church, of which she is a member, and in Willis they have a large circle of friends and acquaintances. Mr. Davis is a man of broad general intelligence, courteous and affable in manner, and wherever he is known he is honorably respected.

Romantic Josh Duhamel2:27
Josh Duhamel gives news.com.au a "flower" and an insight into romance in his film Safe Haven
NICHOLAS Sparks' latest chick flick, Safe Haven, hits cinemas today. Just in time to strategically pull on the heart strings of the film-loving hopeless romantics.
It's the author-turned-film producer's eighth big-screen adaptation and we all had high hopes for it to be the next Big Romantic Drama.
But the highly-anticipated movie, as the title suggests, is being slammed by critics as exactly that - predictable and 'safe'.
It's been widely peddled as 'the next tearjerker from the director of The Notebook', and yet reviews suggest it falls dreadfully short of the epic Gosling-McAdams swoon-fest that set the benchmark so high back in 2004.
Movie writer Leigh Paatsch gave the flick one-and-a-half stars out of five, calling it "another torrent of tragi-romantic treacle to gush forth from the pen of best-selling author Nicholas Sparks."
Julianne Hough plays a young woman with a dark past who starts afresh in a small coastal town where she meets Josh Duhamel, a single dad who's finally ready to pursue romance again after becoming a widower.
Sparks' first and highest-grossing adaptation, Message in a Bottle, starring Kevin Costner and Robin Wright (1999), has a worldwide gross of $115 million to date - interestingly, it's also his only other adaptation to be released on Valentine's Day.
Since then, Sparks has handed us one romantic tragedy after the next, but safe to say there can only be one Notebook.
Movie critics website Rotten Tomatoes gave Safe Haven a dismal rating of 13 per cent, Dear John managed 28 per cent, while The Lucky One grabbed just 20 per cent.
While this formulaic 'boy-meets-girl, both fall madly in love' storyline is no doubt doing wonders for Sparks' bank account, it's clear that viewers have moved on and Sparks should do the same.
After all, The Notebook was nearly a decade ago - might be time join the pack and try vampire flick instead?
Here's 14 years worth of Nicholas Sparks' tearjerkers made into films:
Message in a Bottle, 1999 -A younger Kevin Costner as a grieving widower is dreamy in this role.
A Walk to Remember, 2002 - Any film starring Mandy Moore should be enough to deter viewers.
The Notebook, 2004 - The. Romantic. Drama. Of. All. Time.
Nights in Rodanthe, 2008 - Silver fox Richard Gere stars as a doctor who stumbles across an unhappily married woman. The two find love at the inn.
Dear John, 2010 -We love a good Channing Tatum flick, but this certainly is far from his best.
The Last Song, 2010 -Miley Cyrus in a serious role, enough said?
The Lucky One, 2012 -Zac Efron with a super weird ghost twist.
Safe Haven, 2013 - Wait and see for yourselves, if you dare.

Cabinda – The secretary to the president of the Republic for Social Affairs, Rosa Pacavira, said Wednesday in northern Cabinda province she was satisfied with the 200 houses project underway in the municipalities of Buço-Zau and Cacongo, 120 and 40 kilometres north of the provincial capital city.
On her third day of visit to Cabinda, Rosa Pacavira also visited the construction of 150 houses in the localities of Catabuanga and Lites (Buco-Zau) and 50 others in Conde Malonda village, whose implementation is in final stage, all under the rural integrated development programme in the region.
Speaking at the end of a visit to the locality of Chinfuca, the official admitted there is a hard work awaiting the companies involved in the contracts, especially concerning the 200 houses projects of Buco-Zau and Cacongo that will gain 100 residences each by August this year.
Rosa Pacavira's delegation includes the secretary of State for Agriculture, José Amaro Tati, the deputy ministers of Social Communication, Manuel Miguel de Carvalho "Wadijimbi", Education, Ana Paula Inês, and Territory Administration, Cremildo Paca.

This column by Jim Cramer appeared earlier Monday on RealMoney . Click here for a free trial, and enjoy incisive commentary all day, every day.The charts show no faith. Doesn't matter the industry, health care, tech, banks or defense companies. They all look terrible. Just horrible. Not saying, therefore, that everything must go down. Am saying that it is really, really ugly almost everywhere you look. Take the banks. Many are breaking down to or below levels where they did big financings, some well below, like Wells Fargo ( WFC), BB&T ( BBT), JPMorgan ( JPM) and Bank of America ( BAC) -- all pretty decent banks. Others have good yield but the yield doesn't seem to stop the decline one bit as we can see from People's United Financial ( PBCT) or Astoria ( AD), or, worst of all, Hudson City ( HCBK), which has a 5% yield and no problem at all paying it. The charts seem to think that it isn't good for it, though, because utilities of similar quality and less yield are going higher. Or how about the incredible shrinking multiple of tech? Google's ( GOOG) at 19 times earnings. Intel ( INTC) and Hewlett-Packard ( HPQ) are at 9 times earnings, the former is supposed to be peaking in margins and is regarded as panicking while HPQ is clearly rudderless. Forget Seagate ( STX) and Western Digital ( WDC); I am beginning to think there is no price people will pay for them. Lots of high quality medicals seem to have lost all support. MedcoHealth ( MHS), Gilead ( GILD), Express Scripts ( ESRX), Quest Diagnostics ( DGX), these are all shrinking beyond recognition. So much for what to buy in a re-recession, my term for double-dip. The defense stocks are amazingly bleak and trade as if we aren't just pulling out of Iraq but also of Afghanistan. Raytheon's ( RTN) been murdered here. Lockheed ( LMT), L-3 ( LLL) and Northrop Grumman ( NOC) can't seem to be given away. Perhaps the worst is retail where even after we got some decent earnings last week from Target ( TGT), Wal-Mart ( WMT) and Urban Outfitters ( URBN), the declines for stocks like the office products stores, Staples ( SPLS), Office Depot ( ODP) and OfficeMax ( OMX) show no signs of abating. It is impossible to look at the teen retailers like Hot Topic ( HOTT), Aeropostale ( ARO) and American Eagle ( AEO) without thinking terminal thoughts. J.C. Penney ( JCP), Chico's ( CHS) and Charming Shoppes ( CHRS) are disasters as is Gap ( GPS).

In 2003, Charles Guggenheim's final film, Berga: Soldiers of Another War, first aired on public television. In commemoration of the 10th anniversary, we will screen this extraordinary story of 350 American soldiers, taken prisoner at the Battle of the Bulge, who were caught in the tragedy of the Holocaust. Guggenheim wrote and directed Berga, and because of his personal connection to the story narrated it in the first person. Roger Cohen, writer for the New York Times and author of Soldiers and Slaves: American POWs Trapped by the Nazis' Final Gamble, will introduce the screening. A book signing will follow the program.
Event begins at 7:00PM

I bought this at $13.39 with taxes at Sephora this week. What I like about this product is that it does not have preservatives, alcohol, or fragrance. It felt great on my skin it did not irritate me. I do not use scrubs too often because I love all natural things on my skin and scrubs tend to irritate it. At the same time you need to scrub once a week. Before buying any Boscia product check out the expiration date on the product, because these products have no preservatives they do not last long. Some people find a downside to this, but hey for $13 bucks I buy something natural instead of something full of chemicals that can last me for years. What would you rather buy an orange or a can of Pepsi? Well thats me, there are lots of people who love soda hehehehe lol. I also bought Bronze Broad Spectrum it is on sale too
No fragrance, no preservatives, no problem.

This cleansing scrub is so gentle you can use it every day, and I would if it weren't so darn expensive. I love how my skin looks and feels after using. Somehow it is moisturizing, or at least non-drying. I highly recommend this!

This scrub has just the right amount of scrubbiness. Some scrubs don't have enough granules, or they're too sharp/rough on the skin. This scrub has plenty of granules that are gentle but still exfoliating. It has a light scent that is typical of Boscia that I really like. My only gripe is that at $25/tube, it's pretty pricey.

Another winner from Boscia. I use it a couple times a week. It's gentle, has quality ingredients and gets the job done. This hasn't made a noticeable difference in my skin, and due to that I will try other scrubs. But it is a good product, and I may repurchase again later.

Love the feeling of the polish beads and the consistence of the face wash, almost jelly like. I generally have small dry patch on my cheeks after I wash my face and I didn't feel dry and tight like when I used other products. I wasn't in a rush to use moisturizer right away.
This was nice and mild, smells great and I used a pea sized amount so it has lasted me a long time. Already purchased my second tube and am only halfway through my first one. Gentle enough for daily use and I recommend this product to all my friends.

I have been using the Boscia for a few months. I can't take any fragrances and if this has any smell it is so slight I can't see it bothering anyone with allergies. I scrub gently and use it every 4 days. It seems to remove the flakes from my very dry forehead and chin without overly drying. I am acne prone even at my age and I don't think it has caused any breakouts at all.I am also prone to milia from oil based moisturizers that block pores and this product does not contribute to milia. It doesn't seem to be oily at all. Other "gentle" scrubs left my face red but this one does not cause any redness. My only complaint is if you take the container into the shower, some water drops can get under the lid so I dry it off with a paper towel when I am done. I use very very little when I use it, you don't need a lot of the product. Overall, it's not drying, it's not moisturizing, it does what I want it doesn't smell or cause breakouts and I am happy and would repurchase.

This is my holy grail exfoliator. It's gentle enough for daily use. My dermatologist said you can exfoliate daily if it's not irratating your skin. I use this daily in the shower immeadiately after the makeup breakup. I haven't found anything that gets all of the makeup off like this does.

The first time I used this was when I purchased a Boscia starter kit for my acne. For some reason, none of the products did anything for my acne except aggravate it.. but this polish was one of the products I actually liked. It makes my skin feel very soft and smooth after I use it, and it ISN'T HARSH! A lot of exfoliators are too harsh and end up causing my face to flake even more or feel sensitive to the touch.. The grains in this are not heavy and rough.. I wouldn't consider this a great exfoliator for dry-very dry skin, but more as a maintenance product to use 2-3x a week to help skin stay bright and soft.

I got the Boscia Smoothing Facial Polish as a sample from Sephora. Caudalie is a creamy exfoliant with more effective beads, this one has a light gel texture (reminds me of aloe vera gel) with gentler beads. Again like Caudalie, Boscia products are botanically-based and preservative-free. Interesting tidbit -- they were created by Fancl, the Japanese brand known for their gentle products :)
This scrub is very gentle and light and is perfect for oily and combination skin types. It is an effective cleanser as well, and I prefer this over Caudalie's scrub because creamy products makes me get whiteheads and milia. I would use Boscia in the summer and Caudalie in the winter. At $25, this is not the most economical product in the world, but it is still a quality product. However, I am looking into other alternatives besides scrubs, like Clarisonic Skincare Brush or a microdermabrasion cloth. Means less chemicals being used since you use these with a cleanser.

Wow, I really love this product. I have a few very sensitive areas on my skin and this didn't bother me at all. After just a few uses, my cheek redness decreased a lot and my makeup has been laying better and looking less powdery. I don't even have to use as much makeup because it evened out my skintone so nicely. I give it a BIG thumbs up! One lippy off for being spendy.

Comment Joop:
In Salley
the word Haymonth is not used, June is wrong, this was
Henry, himself, states much later in his own handwriting that he was born 17 June 1742, for that reason I took 17 as day of birth
There are 4 reasons I stick to 17 July as his birthday:
1. His father says so, he was there and Henry barely
2. The days of the week are correct (Old style)(991212)
3. The record says Haymonth and July
4. (991204) I have found another entry with a birtday July 17th (see attach 1)
Leaves us with the problem that in the signs of the zodiac Twins (Gemini) runs from 21 May to 20 June (thank you, Mark), so the record is conflicting in itself:---Haymonth = July; ---17. July = a Saturday;--- Gemini implies June;--- 17. June = a Thursday
From what is left of Michael's family name this seems the obvious option: Lährij
Anna Rohrig did not exist, it is Anna Roth; it seems like the father was a bit exited himself, Rohtin is likely a slip of the pen
If anybody has any ideas on why Rev. Giessendanner would find it necessary to add "sign of the Twins", I would very much like to hear that

I gave myself a max of 30 seconds to make each pick. I wanted to see how this would round out as compared to other mocks I have done. Since this was a quick firing mock, I do not have any explanations. Also keep in mind that this is a full round one and not a Texans mock. Also, because this was a quick firing one, no trades.

Virtual Reality Objects for 3D ArtistsHow to turn your 3D model into a VR Object using Macromedia Flash
|This tutorial is excerpted from "3D Artist's Guide To Real World Applications" by Patricia Waterman. For more information about the book, go here.
VR objects start out looking like a still image of an object, but when you click and drag your mouse, you are able to orbit around the object horizontally and vertically 360 degrees. VR's weakness is that because it is raster-based imagery instead of vector-based imagery the file sizes are considerably larger, making it more difficult for slower Internet connections or computers to view. And sometimes the VR can be too large to view on a local hard drive, if that computer has a slower graphics card.
VR Object Sample
Click and Drag on the cat image below:
Before You Begin:
For this tutorial, you will need ...
Macromedia Flash* (you can download a free 30 day trial version from here: http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/download .
The VR Object Flash Template: Download template here
* You will not need any prior knowledge of Flash!
Step 1: In your 3D program, create a timeline that is exactly 25 frames. (0 to 24)
Step 2: Center your object in your scene. Make sure that your background is a solid color. (Its easiest to have a solid white or black value.)
Step 3: Animate your object to rotate counter clockwise 360 degrees on the Z-axis. You should now have a looped animation showing your object rotating 360 degrees.
Step 4: Render your animation out as JPEG files with a dimension of 320 x 240 pixels.
Step 5: In Flash, open the file "My-VR-Object-Template.fla" (see link to template above)
Step 6: In Flash, change the background color to match background color of your 3D renderings. You accomplish this by:
1. Click on the Modify menu>Document
2. Click the Background Color box to display the pop-up
window and select a color.
3. While you are in this dialogue box, change the
Frame Rate to 12 fps.
Step 7: Select frame 10 on "My Image Layer". (See arrow in figure 1) Then go to Edit>Edit Symbol. Then go back to Edit menu and choose Edit Selected. You will now see key frames for the teapot. (See how the timeline now looks in figure 2)
|Figure 1
|Figure 2
Step 8: Create a new Layer. (See circled button in figure 1)
Step 9: Highlight this new blank layer (it will be named "Layer 2") by clicking on its name. Then go to the File menu>Import to Stage, and double click on the first frame in the sequence of your 3D rendered images. It will ask you if you want all the images in the sequence to be imported. Say yes.
Step 10: Delete the layer that contains the teapot. (Layer 1)
Step 11: Get out of Edit Symbol mode by going to the Edit Menu>Edit Document (Ctrl E)
Step 12: Test Movie. (Ctrl+Enter) *You should now see your object in place of the cat head image.
Step 13: Save your file as a swf format, which makes it ready for launching on the web, by going to the File menu>Export Movie. It is now ready to be viewed locally, or over the web!
*If its off alignment, then you need to align your frames. (Click here to see step-by-step instructions on how to align your frames.)
If it doesn't work right, in some other way, close your Flash template file, and start over from Step 5, making sure to follow each step exactly as it says.

Poor Poor Teddy(Picture Of Finished Teddyii!)
Decorating By ge978 Updated 6 Mar 2006 , 4:34pm by JamesSweetie
picturing a child covered in icing sugar
I have never used the core in my bears or my trees, it just takes a little longer to bake but it makes it firmer and holds together better.
frstech: really?...no core?...i do find the core annoying...it baked through evenly?..maybe i should try that next time.
yes, we do it all the time with our stand up trees and bears, you can see the trees in my pic that is a winter scene.
OMG, THIS THREAD REALLY MADE MY DAY! LOL . Poor Teddy...is there such a thing as a Teddy Funeral? And ge978 you crack me up! I can just see your child covered in PS. Don't feel bad though...my kitchen is black and white but when I bake, it's all white!
princessjellybean: I wish I could post a picture of him...he was a mess! He's 18 mos & whenever I make icing he's at the mixer with one of his plastic spoons trying to stick it in the icing. Good thing I don't bake at the house too often
ape: I'm not sure I can move on until I get it right I might be right back here posting a pick of Teddy's brother.
Okay guys ...wish me luck!! I'm going to try it without the core(thanks frstech) using a yellow mix. No, I haven't got the poundcake yet, but I figured I will just try the mix again. What's the worst that can happen?
ChrisJ: I won't admit this to my husband, but I'm kind of glad this happened...I really needed a good laugh..but
Again, if anyone wants to stop me from making a 2nd mistake you have about 6-7 minutes until I pour the mix in...of course it probably won't do any good because I'm like a bad little child who doesn't listen
What's the worse that can happen? More CAKE BALLS!! I have an order for 45 for next week, hows bout sending teddy my way?
newtodecorating: after all that me and Teddy have been through - not a chance I however will tell you how to mess up a cake so bad that you end up with cakeballs
You are too funny!
okay...i am dumb! what the heck is a cake ball?
Ge: I should have posted what my kitchen looked like this morning, there was chocolate cake bits EVERYWHERE! Tell you what, I have another cake to make this week for my mom's birthday on Tuesday, I'll take a before and after shot and post it, just for you!
Pleeeeeease post what Teddy's brother looks like when he comes out, this thread has entertained me all day
Ing1978 try this thread out it will explain
They are Yummy!
Hmmm..I tried making cake balls and I made as big a mess as teddy there.
Jamessweetie: You are hilarious!! I will definitely post my pic of teddy when he comes out. I have to admit I've had more fun baking today than I have in awhile. You can only post a pic if its a disaster ...which it won't be of course..you do very beautiful work!
Okay, Teddy the Sequel has about 20 minutes left baking, then I'll let him cool for awhile and we will see how it goes
You know ge??.... I was looking thru your photos being the nosey ole thing I am... but you had some football cookies... Gave me an idea! you could make those cake balls into cake footballs... Holy brainstorm... then basketball season put orange coloring into whitealmond bark and make little basketballs... wonder if they would turn out??
Helendelk: That is a very creative idea...of course I'm not going to be the first to try it
Update on Teddy's brother....I didn't use the core & made it with a yellow DH mix & he looks ...dare I say.. like he may work!
I'll keep you posted on the progress.....stay tuned
Have you all seen the new Swiss Colony?? There are some lady bugs in there that are too cute of course I am thinking these could be made out of CAKE BALLS! As I continued to look through there were basketballs, footballs, soccer balls, carrots,and easter eggs, my mind almost exploded thinking of all the cake ball creations I could make!!
ge- I am going out to dinner with DH for valentines day-yes that is right I said valentines day!! I will check on teddy's progress when I get back!
newtodecorating: Have a great dinner!! I'll be decorating TeddyII in a few hours. "Talk" to you when you get back
YEAH!!!! His brother looks great! Is he for anything special or was he for practice? Because...I am thinking he would look very cute with a pile of cake balls around him!
Looks great, I want to see the finished product later !!
WOOHOOO he is standing!!!! I agree with newtocakedecorating... he should have his brother's memory with cake balls around...lol!! I just put the 3d duck in the oven.. lol It'll be a miracle if he makes it! Can't wait to see the finished bear!!! We'll be waiting!!!
Omg Everyone is TOO FUNNY!
Teddy is actually for my nephew's birthday tomorrow. He absolutely had to have a panda bear Of course dummy me says " I've never tried a stand up one, I'll make him one of those". If I could keep my mouth shut, I wouldn't get myself into so much trouble.
Right now I have a 9' double round cake & Teddy going on top.Because of the "incident", I don't have as much time to decorate. Anyone got some quick & easy ideas for the bottom cake?
I am definitely posting a picture when he's done....you guys have kept me laughing through all of this. Usually I would be ready to give up by now, but this has been too much fun!!
make the round cake look like a tree stump... use brown icing and kind swirl it around like a tree then add some leaves or something... Seems like that would be quick enough... Panda's do like trees .. or sitting on a big rock..
sorry it took so long to get back Helendelk: I've been working on TeddyII...he's actually coming out pretty good. However, I just ran out of powdered sugar & I can't find my leaf tip so I think I'll have to finish him tomorrow.
Thanks for the idea on the tree stump - hopefully I'll have enough time to ice the cake let alone decorate it
By the way, how's Ducky doing? I hope he came out for you.
Stay tuned: The saga continues tomorrow......
hey..see..I told you it works without that danged old core. Teddy the sequel will be so much better than the first part. But Teddy 1's memory shall live on.
dsoutherngirl...I was just heading off to clean the kitchen & caught your post. The bear came out beautifully without the core...thank you for the advice. I will never use that dang thing again!! One poor mutilated Teddy is enough
dsoutherngirl...I was just heading off to clean the kitchen & caught your post. The bear came out beautifully without the core...thank you for the advice. I will never use that dang thing again!! One poor mutilated Teddy is enough
lol... the duck joined Mr Teddy 1 ..... DH sat there and saw me stick skewer into mr Duck and saw it came out clean then when I dumped him out of pan...lol one side looked good.. then dumped other side ........ ooooey gooooeyy lol so like real quick threw that half of pan back on quick and kind scooped him and all his inards back in and threw it back in oven.. took it out of oven again..looked good but fell in 3 pieces... so hmmm thats no good.. so I cut those pieces in 1/2 and kinda laid him back together and gonna just put half of him on a cake and just use a LOT of icing to survive him...lol I was just doing it for fun anyway.. I froze them along with a 9' round cake and will decorate sometime this weekend... Lord knows I need the practice.... I'm sure everyone has a disaster on their first 3-d pan... Im glad Mr Teddy2 is turning out! Can't wait to see him.........

By Matt Vella, deputy technology editor
FORTUNE -- Walt Disney Co. chairman and CEO Robert Iger has transformed The Mouse House into so much more.
On Oct. 31, the company agreed to acquire Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion, a surprise move that will give it control of the lucrative "Star Wars" franchise. The deal seals Iger's legacy of growing Disney (dis) through large acquisitions that expand the Burbank company's store of unique intellectual property. In 2009, Disney acquired Marvel Entertainment for $4 billion, a deal that resulted in this year's blockbuster "The Avengers." Three years earlier, it bought "Toy Story"-maker Pixar Animation Studios for $7.4 billion.
Iger, 61, will step down as CEO in March 2015 and stay on as chairman until June 2016. His mark on the company is likely to be felt for decades to come. (For more on how Iger runs Disney, please see Fortune's May feature story.) But the deal is something of a coming full circle for Hollywood. George Lucas and his long-time licensing chief Howard Roffman more or less invented the playbook that major media companies, Disney chief among them, now depend on.
MORE: Inside Apple's major shakeup
When Roffman joined Lucasfilm in 1980, the firm had produced the first Star Wars, a mega-hit, but not much else. "In the beginning, nobody knew what we had," he told me earlier this year. "In the first year or two, nobody could say 'franchise,'" he said of the buzzword currently favored by studio executives. Roffman, who became the company's chief operating officer in the mid-1980s and would head its licensing division for 25 years, says Lucasfilm was almost exclusively focused on finishing the original trilogy in 1983. During the late 1980s, the company produced a Saturday morning cartoon, but Star Wars' retail presence was nonexistent.
Then, in 1991, Roffman convinced Lucas to publish the first Star Wars-themed novel. It became a New York Times best-seller and stayed on the list for sixteen weeks. By 1994, the long-term plan had come into focus: Lucas began working on another three films and Roffman plotted a course that included VHS editions, a theatrical re-release, and retail partnerships all building up to another round of box office releases. They were creating the commercial blueprint Hollywood has now almost entirely adopted.
Lucasfilm became a money machine. "Star Wars" films have grossed a modest-sounding $4.6 billion globally, according the company. But total retail sales -- everything from action figures and Halloween costumes to video games -- have topped a staggering $25 billion. And according to NPD data, it has been the top toy brand for boys during six of the last seven years. "Lucas created the summer movie season aimed at the youth market," argues Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian. (Lucasfilm referred follow-up inquiries to its press release announcing the deal.)
MORE: 6 ugliest Apple products
Under Iger, Disney seems to have perfected the formula. This year's "Avengers," which brought together the cast of various Marvel comic movies, shows the extent to which this is true. The film has been a phenomenal success on its own, bringing in over $200 million in domestic box office ticket sales during its first weekend, topping the previous record set by "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2." More importantly, it is the capstone of a long-term, Lucas-style rollout which began in 2003 with the first "Hulk" movie. The six films since, including the likes of "Iron Man" and "Thor," have grossed over $2.5 billion total worldwide. That does not include toys, video games and other merchandise.
On a Tuesday conference call, the company's executives began mapping out Lucasfilm's future. Disney will, for one, make more "Star Wars" movies. Following one slated for release in 2015, the company said "more feature films [are] expected to continue the 'Star Wars' saga and grow the franchise well into the future." It will also find ways to use "Star Wars" throughout its businesses, including theme parks, consumer products, television and so on. "I've always believed that 'Star Wars' could live beyond me, and I thought it was important to set up the transition during my lifetime," George Lucas said in a statement. "I'm confident 'Star Wars' will certainly live on and flourish for many generations to come."
There are plenty of unanswered questions, many of which are sure to light up chat rooms on the Internet. One thing is for sure: Disney is getting much more than meets the eye.

A COMBINATION of bad weather and good planning meant this weekend was not as busy as it could have been for ambulance crews across the West Midlands.
Although West Midlands Ambulance Service had predicted this weekend could have been the busiest it had ever seen, the record remained unbroken.
But the service still had a very busy three days, being called out to 145 incidents a day more than it was in the same weekend last year.
The service received 7,889 calls from Friday to Sunday, up from 7,450 from last year.
Acting emergency services director Nathan Hudson said Saturday night proved particularly busy, putting the amount of calls due to it being pay day weekend for many.
"Being able to perform at the high levels we did despite the continued high levels of demand is down to good planning and the exceptional hard work of our staff in often very difficult circumstances," he said.
"I would also like to thank the public for their assistance.
"It is absolutely vital that the public use the ambulance service sensibly so that we can get to the people that really need our help quickly and save lives."
He added in non-emergency situations patients can speak to their GP or pharmacist for advice, visit a minor injury unit or call 111.
"Although we have got through this weekend there is no sign the level of demand shows any sign of reducing and it is still considerably above what we would expect to see at this time of year," he said.
"As a result, we will be ensuring that we do everything we can to prepare for every eventuality and we would ask the public to do likewise."
