Stunning Conditions on Day Three of the Volvo Melges 24 Worlds
3 June 2008
Porto Cervo, 3 June 2008 - The third day of the Volvo Melges 24 World Championship 2008, hosted by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, Porto Cervo, was an absolute stunner with clear skies, hot sunshine, crystal clear blue waters and a north-westerly breeze which built from around 16 knots at the start of racing to well into the 20s by the end of the afternoon.
The Race Committee successfully ran three further Round Robin races on each of the two courses so five of the twelve scheduled races have now been completed. One more Round Robin race remains to be sailed tomorrow before the fleet can be divided into Gold and Silver groups for the final six races of the championship.
In the overall standings things are incredibly close. Tonight Italy's Alberto Bolzan, helming ITA727 Pilot Italia for Gianni Catalogna, continues to lead the regatta by 7 points having added 3, 1, 7 to his existing 2, 1, making this the only team with an all top ten score. "The mood of the crew is high" - helmsman Alberto Bolzan commented – "not making mistakes and keeping concentration high are necessary in the conditions. Today it was a positive day, the only mistake was at the start of the third race, since we were not in a good position; then we recovered and were able to finish seventh".
Lorenzo Bressani, helming ITA715 Uka Uka Racing for Lorenzo Santini, has leapt up the board from ninth to second place thanks to putting in the day's most consistent score of 1, 2, 2, giving him 21 points overall. Speaking after racing Lorenzo Bressani commented. "Finally a great day! It has been the wind that we waited for, the so much expected Mistral. We are very satisfied about today's results. A little bit of regret for the second race where we lost Nicola Celon a few metres from the finish line. The Championship is still long, we are not even half way through, so it isn't time of the budgetary [balance-sheet]!"
Flavio Favini, helming SUI521 Blu Moon for Franco Rossini, also had a great day taking a 6 and 3 and then winning the final race to move up from eighth into third overall, five points behind Bressani. Favini was delighted with his day saying "We actually had a good day. We had one bump which was on the spinnaker take down. It was my fault as I called for the take down too late. I made a mistake, but other than that it was good. The conditions - this is what we are here for. This was good. I think if it were to blow more than this, it turns into survival [rather] than racing. I think that this was perfect. For Sardinia this was perfect. For tomorrow and the next day, we take it each race at a time."
Chicago's Brian Porter and his USA649 Full Throttle team got the day off to a good start with a second in race three but a 13th in race four and an eighth in race five saw them slipping down from third to fourth overall. Switzerland's Jean-Marc Monnard in SUI599 Poizon Rouge trails Porter by just one point in fifth place while Italy's Luca Valerio, helming ITA722 Alina Helly Hansen, lies sixth and will be eager for the discard to come into play after tomorrow's sixth race as his score card currently reads 1, 30, 1, 2, 3. Valerio had clearly enjoyed his day saying. "The wind has arrived and we are quite happy about that. We sail best in these conditions, so we hope in continues. If tomorrow is like what it was today, then we hope to do well with the same strategy."
In the Corinthian Division, for the all amateur crews who are also scored in the Open Division, Norway's Oyvind Peder Jahre, sailing NOR554 Terra Eindomsmeglng for Stian Briseid, continues to lead the regatta having won the first two of today's races and come fourth in race five. He is just four points ahead of Giovanni Pizzatti, helming ITA664 for Gian Luca Perego who has moved up into second place while Jean-Francois Cruette, sailing FRA612 Bouygues Telecom for Cedrid De Kervenoael remains in third place. Estonia's Tonu Toniste sailing EST646 Lenny is now lying fourth with Bruce Ayres of Newport Beach, CA, in USA637 Monsoon fifth and on equal points with Antoine Albaret of GRA261 Perros-Guirec.
For Roberto Martinez and the team aboard Carla Ubertalli's ITA-574 Online-Sim Firebolt today brought an unwelcome surprise. They were battling for the lead and in second place on the last run of race four, when they suddenly went from 15 knots to 3. They had struck a basking sunfish with their keel and as a result had to drop the spinnaker and main in an effort to free themselves from the stricken animal. After almost three minutes of removing the fish from the keel they'd dropped around 20 places but managed to pull back up to14th by the finish.
Germany's Kicker Schafer, helming GER582 No Woman No Cry for Eddy Eich, was also unlucky today when the boat lost its rig during race four. After sailing Eddy Eich admitted "It was just a boat handling error, nothing else." Fortunately European Melges 24 builder Devoti Sailing is on hand with spare masts and already a replacement tube is being prepared.
For tomorrow the Race Committee has already brought racing forward an hour to 10.30am. This is to give them additional time to run the final race of the Round Robin, then bring the competitors back ashore to hear any protests and announce the Gold and Silver fleet allocations before returning afloat as soon as possible to run race seven and if possible eight. Tomorrow's forecast is for more good winds, possibly a little stronger than today and clocking slightly into the north.

The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® series continues by remembering the 1950-54 men's swim teams.
The teams were lead by legendary swimming coach Thomas H. "Friend" Hughes, who coached the team for a total of 23 seasons.
Hughes was one of the first people to allow African-Americans the opportunity to swim competitively, but he could only allow them three months to train at the local pool. This put the TSU teams at a severe disadvantage.
However, Hughes's coaching ability and the determination of the Tigersharks produced five straight CIAA Invitational Swimming Championships.
The first championship came in 1950 at West Virginia State College with team captain Frank Stewart leading the way.
Stewart and the Tigersharks repeated as champions at the next CIAA Invitational held at Hampton. This time, Jack Noel stole the show for TSU, winning three events including the 50-yard freestyle.
The 1951 CIAA Invitational proved to be no contest for the Tigersharks as they amassed 105 points, compared to second-place Howard's 72. Tennessee State took first place in eight events, second in eight and third in three.
The 1952 season included matches against Howard, Brooklyn College, and the Teachers Colleges of Central state and Lockhaven State. Some of the opponents were different, but the result was the same as team captain Stanley Gainor led TSU to a third straight title.
After a fourth straight CIAA Championship in 1953 at Morgan State University, the Tigersharks turned in arguably their finest championship season in 1954.
TSU compiled 107 points in the 1954 championship held at West Virginia State College.
Second-place Morgan State had only 44 points.
The team's captain in 1954 was Donald Jackson, but the entire team contributed to the fifth-straight title and an undefeated season.
Tennessee State beat Central State 71-13 in the season opener, and the team set seven new pool records in the meet.
The only match that was even competitive in the 1954 season was the meet at Ball State. A meet that the Tigersharks still won by 20 points.
Although TSU does not have a swimming team anymore, the school still has the memories, titles, and the Hughes Aquatic Center- named for the celebrated coach.
The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® highlights some of the greatest moments in honor of Tennessee State's centennial celebration. A new moment will be released each weekday for a total of 100. These moments were chosen by the TSU 100 Moments committee, which consists of alums from various departments. TSU has so many great moments, not all can be represented in these 100.

Jena Malone holds hands with her rumored boyfriend John Pina as they enjoy a romantic lunch date on Wednesday afternoon (May 28) in Los Angeles.

"Well, I never set out to write songs," Jena told Refinery29. "I only write poetry. It is too hard for me to be writing and thinking about other parts of a song. When I'm free styling, it is all about the melody becoming the character, becoming the voice, and becoming the thing. I don't think that I've ever actually sat down and written a song. It can come from the universe or it can come from other some deep rooted thing."

Little Harlem Club Collection
The first annual riverrun sponsored summer internship was conducted in 2013. The candidate selected as most qualified was University at Buffalo English PhD candidate Alison Fraser. In addition to her qualifications, she was chosen for her interest and enthusiasm about the Little Harlem Club collection she selected to research and report about.
The Little Harlem Club/Hotel on Michigan Avenue in Buffalo was owned and operated by Ann Montgomery from the 1930s through early 1960s, during which time Count Basie, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday and others performed. While this club coexisted with the Colored Musicians Club and other clubs like it in its time period, Ann Montgomery was the distinguishing factor. Montgomery's style and business sense and the fact that she was an African-American business woman were the rare combination then that made her and the Little Harlem unique.
Several photos, a broadside and anniversary programs comprise the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library's Little Harlem Collection available for digital viewing here. The report researched and presented by 2013 riverrun intern Alison Fraser may be read here.

It was an emotional roller coaster for the Lipscomb Bisons and Campbell Fighting Camels in Friday's doubleheader nightcap at Ken Dugan Field at Stephen Lee Marsh Stadium.
Lipscomb freshman Tennyson Dodd helped the Bisons jump out to a 10-3 lead by hitting two homeruns and driving in seven runs. The Fighting Camels fought back with eight unanswered runs in the last two innings to take an 11-10 lead going into the bottom of the ninth. However, it was the Bisons who would have the final say as Logan Hostettler drove in the game-winning RBI in the bottom of the ninth to beat Campbell 12-11.
Dodd came into the game having hit three homeruns throughout the entire season. His first homer was a two-run bomb that was hit all the way to Granny White Pike behind the left field wall in the fourth inning. His second homerun, a three-run blast, came one inning later. For the night, Dodd went 4-for-4 from the plate and drove in seven runs. The last Bison player to drive in seven runs was Caleb Joseph at Alcorn State on March 9, 2007.
Campbell would not let the outstanding efforts of Dodd force them to quit. The Fighting Camels scored four runs in the eighth inning off of four singles and a Bison error.
The Bisons called on senior Kyle Tognazzini to come in and pitch in the ninth inning with a 10-7 lead. Campbell loaded the bases with no outs. Tognazzini struck out the next two consecutive batters. However, with two outs Zach Johnson hit a grand slam to left field giving the Fighting Camels an 11-10 lead.
Johnson's home run was the first and only extra-base hit for the Fighting Camels who notched 16 base hits on the evening.
But the bottom half of the ninth belonged to the Bisons. Junior Ryan Wilkins roped a lead-off homer to tie the game. The next batter, senior Allen Bolden, hit a double off of the wall in right-center. The Fighting Camels intentionally walked Dodd putting runners on first and second. After two check-bunts and a foul bunt, Hostettler decided to take matters into his own hands looping a base hit into shallow center driving in the winning run.
Junior Josh Smith got the start on the mound for Lipscomb and completed four innings giving up two runs off of five hits and two errors. Smith struck out four batters.
Charles Williams pitched 3.2 innings before being lifted for Matt Bowling with two outs and runners on the corners in the top of the eighth. Bowling struck out Stephen Parsons to get the Bisons out of the jam.
Tognazzini (3-3) was credited with the win. He allowed four runs off of two hits and struck out three batters.
The Bisons improve to 21-28, 15-11 in the A-Sun while the Fighting Camels fall to 24-21, 6-16 in the A-Sun.
Lipscomb will play host to Campbell in the final game of the three game series tomorrow night at 6 p.m.

Every Point is Key at 2011 NCAC T&F Meetby Brent Harris • May 5, 2011 Share:
When the Wabash track and field team starts the 2011 North Coast Athletic Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championship meet on Friday in Oberlin, Ohio, Head Coach Clyde Morgan wants his team's focus on one thing.
Get your point!
"That's our theme this weekend — 'Get Your Point!'," Morgan (right) said. "If you are battling for eighth place to get that final team point, battle like you're going after first place. Every point will be important when the team standings are finally determined.
"All week long we've talked as a team about taking everything one event at a time. Saturday afternoon. If we do that, the team scoring will take care of itself."
Wabash enters the outdoor competition as one of the teams capable of ending Ohio Wesleyan University's three-year hold on the men's team title. Last year the Battling Bishops scored a total of 220 points to win the overall competition. Wabash finished second with 161.5 points, while Allegheny was third with 93 points.
The Little Giant team enters the weekend as the only NCAC squad named in the US Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association computer rankings. Wabash is 24th overall in that list.
"Ohio Wesleyan is the defending outdoor champion. That makes them the favorite again this year. We have to be tough and aggressive and put together our best effort.
There are a lot of very good teams in this conference. Ohio Wesleyan is the defending champion, and we feel our Wabash squad will also be in the mix. Allegheny and Oberlin will also be difficult to compete against, as will Wittenberg. There are also so many talented athletes from every team that have the ability to affect the final outcome. Every event will be important."
Wabash enters the meet with dominating number in the field throws. Junior Daniel Ambrosio (left) is competing for the first time ever in the javelin. The rookie has set the conference on fire, earning athlete of the week honors twice this season. His best throw of the year came last weekend at the Stan Lyons Invitational where he produced a mark of 57.73 meters. The only other athlete in the NCAC to top 55 meters in the javelin this season is teammate Evan Groninger. The Wabash sophomore produced a mark of 55.86 meters early in the year and has been consistently in that area throughout the season. Ambrosio is also the top high jumper for Wabash. He ranks third in the NCAC after clearing 6 feet, 2 inches early in the year. Patrick Posthauer and John Bogucki have also turned in solid efforts in the high jump this year.
Senior Matt Scheller and freshman Joel Beier top the shot put list, with Oberlin's Josh Gallagher just behind in third on the performance list. Wabash freshman Brad Pusateri is also in the top-five spots on the conference list with a throw of 13.49 meters. Scheller is also the top hammer thrower in the NCAC this season with his mark of 50.80 meters. He took third place at last year's conference championship meet. Alex Moseman has also produced solid throws all season after missing the 2010 meet due to a back injury. Moseman was the conference champion in the hammer in 2009. Devin Kelley and Ben Burkett will join Beier as possible scorers in the discus.
Pole vault has been another event where the Little Giants have excelled throughout the season. Sophomore Matt Knox and freshman Trevor Young (right) have pushed each other all year long. They are the only two athletes in the NCAC to clear 15 feet outdoors. Depth is also a key for Wabash in this event. Sam Glowinski is fourth on the performance list, with freshman Wesley Adams just behind in sixth place.
Vann Hunt and Groninger will be the top competitors for the Little Giants in the long jump.
On the track senior Wes Chamblee appears to be close to 100 percent after suffering a severe knee injury playing football in the fall. His 400-meter time of 49.05 is the best this season. Chamblee is the conference's defending champion in the 400. John Haley is third in the NCAC with a time of 49.34 Jake Waterman is seventh at 49.76. Chamblee has the third-fastest time in the 200-meter dash with a mark of 22.48. Haley's time of 22.79 is the sixth fastest in that event.
Waterman (below left) is part of a Wabash trio that has been strong in the 800-meter run this season. His time of 1:51.16 is not only the best in the league, but is third-best among Division III men this year. Teammate Kevin McCarthy is right behind with a time of 1:51.36, the fourth-quickest time in the nation. Donavan White posted a time of 1:54.78 last weekend for the fourth-fastest time by an NCAC runner this season. McCarthy and White will also be the top competitors in the 1,500-meter run for the Little Giants. McCarthy also has the quickest time of the year in the 3,000-meter steeplechase in the NCAC. He ran a 9:11.68 at Ohio State University two weeks ago.
Seth Einterz is among the NCAC leaders in the 5,000-meter run. His time of 14:47.84 is fourth-best overall. Freshman Jake Ponton has the sixth-best time in the 10,000-meter run at 33:43.24.
Posthauer, Bogucki, and Haley have three of the best four times in the 110-meter hurdles this season. They are joined by teammate Billy Rosson in sixth and Groninger in seventh on the performance list. Freshmen Charles Smothers and Sean Hildebrand will look to put together solid efforts in the 100-meter dash against a talent-laden field of competitors. Smothers has the third-quickest time of the year with a mark of 11.04, while Hildebrand is sixth quickest at 11.18.
The 2011 NCAC Outdoor Championship meet begins Friday at Oberlin University at 11 a.m. and continues through Saturday afternoon. Complete meet information can be found here.

2 school security guards assaulted
A Riverside High School student injured two school security guards Wednesday after stealing another student's wallet, Buffalo police said.
School security guards received a complaint that the 16-year-old stole another student's wallet after gym class. After reviewing footage on the school's security cameras, they questioned the youth, who admitted stealing the wallet and giving the cash to another student, police said.
The youth then attempted to flee the school security office, knocking over a security guard, who injured her leg, before fighting with and injuring the finger of a second guard who eventually handcuffed the student.
The youth faces third-degree assault charges.

It is still difficult for countries to combine environmental protection and economic growth.
(PRWEB) July 26, 2012
Geneva.– Although the earth faces global environmental challenges on climate change, water and air pollution, deforestation and many other challenges, it is still difficult for countries to combine environmental protection and economic growth. In order to halt humanity's destruction of the planet, the governments of the world gathered in Rio for a Summit.
According to the Preparatory Commission for the World Nature Organization such a summit is an important step. It reflects that an intergovernmental Organization is needed to work out a new blueprint for a "green economy" and a stronger system of global environmental governance. It became clear to the international community that global environmental problems demand global action and an IGO to face the global challenges.
The 50,000 participants at the Conference in Rio acknowledged the huge environmental challenges. The international community tries to address the linked problems of climate change, water scarcity, environmental degradation and poverty as well as hunger. Despite the strong will to change, to shift patterns and to support a global sustainable development, the Conference in Rio was in many ways overshadowed by economic and political crises around the world. But nevertheless, the outcomes of the UN Conference reaffirm past commitments and the importance of global action.
The World Nature Organization will be a platform to discuss the environmental protection and the economic development, which is in the interest of every country. The IGO is supposed to create a new assertiveness by developing nations in international forums while, at the same time, making the economic value of nature apparent and enable scientific research. Through a continuously growing power the World Nature Organization shall mold effective environmental action and discuss environmental issues together with governmental representatives at the "green table". The WNO is supposed to be the driving force behind environmental action. It's time environmental problems and public problems were governed as one.

Most 90/80's (even 70's) OVAs and TV Series can be found on DVDs these days, if it goes for "remastered" as some may call or if it goes for "new edition" ones.
I've seen alot on EX2, so I know if I'm right or wrong on this one.
I'd be happy to TL a OVA or a serie, if I could just get a peak on the artwork, as I have a sense of not touching anything that goes beyond my "requirements".
Must be R2 NTSC-J no HK DVDs as source (.ISO or vobs will do).
These are the things I go for, Art and source. So gimme a PM if your looking for a TLor/Encoder.
I've worked with VHS rips before, so I know when it's really LQ ^_^

Hi guys,
I have kindly been given the raws to the 1985, 3 part OVA series Fandora.
Each episode is 30 minutes long and since it's an action orientated show, there isn't that much dialogue to translate at all.
Sourced from the original DVD release in 2001 in it's original VOB format at 1100mb per file, I can supply you the raws in their original uncompressed form or my personal encodes at 250mb per episode. You would be geting the absolute best source available, beating even the LD hands down.
Here are some small screen caps taken from episode. There is also a trailer for Fandora over at Gaga Communications section of my site Anime Classics Reviews if you want to see it there. I have already uploaded the first episode and is ready to go, anyone interested?
To show I'm serious here is Fandora OVA - Part 1 of 2 (link to Part 2 will only be given once to the legitimate translator who volunteers here). Please post here or PM me if you are interested.

Anyone got decent raws for Video Warrior Laserion. I stumbled across the series and the plot+production quality sparked my interest. It isn't an OVA, but that shouldn't matter since a a good series is a good series either way.

If you're really desperate, Henshin Video (King of chop shop mecha video) has 1-4 in Japanese and 1-15 dubbed in English from the Phillippenes. You'll be paying through the nose for it, but you could also get quite a bit of cred and appreciation for posting rips afterwards. =P

As far as Laserion being great, don't say that until you see it - the execution could have been bloody awful. I *do* know, though, that all of the wireframe sequences were done by hand - at the time the show was produced it ended up being far too expensive to actually CG all of the in-series sequences (most shows had one sequence in the OP...look at Bismark or Tobikage).

Here are some suggestions:
It is accepted that you cannot manage, what you cannot measure. There is, therefore, a big problem with intangible capital which plays a big role in the success of enterprises because there is no accepted method of measuring it. This problem has been known for a long time, yet there is no fully accepted solution. Moreover, there are very few solutions proposed. Traditionally, enterprises measure their profits in monetary expression: they make a balance sheet and then find how good (or bad) the finances are; or use methods like a/the (I don't know which is better) Balanced Scorecard, which measures quantitative goals, weighting costs, time, rates of production to evaluate the organizational health. Unfortunately, none of these methods are useful to measure intangible capital.
How about companies instead of enterprises?

March Madness or Spring Awakening?
APEC and New Beginnings in Trade
The first Senior Officials' Meeting (SOM I) of Asia-Pacific Economics Cooperation (APEC) concluded earlier this month in Washington D.C. The APEC 2011 agenda now swings into full action. The member economies in the region are looking for ways to reaffirm APEC's reputation for innovative economic integration initiatives – and the means by which to stave off new hiccups in the region's economic recovery. In particular, the new APEC Supply Chain Connectivity Initiative (SCI) holds real promise as a dynamic successor to APEC's successful Trade Facilitation Action Plans, which resulted in significant trade cost reductions across the region.

Danica Patrick should not be in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed – but we suppose publisher SEGA may as well take advantage of her while she is. This commercial for the casual kart racer shows the Go Daddy girl racing against a couple of full grown adults dressed as Sonic the Hedgehog and AiAi from Super Monkey Ball. It's the kind of commercial that you'd usually only find in Japan, which makes it an even more baffling spot for North America.
It's marketing. They know the game isn't going to do too well unless they get all the Nascar fans to see she's in the game. That's their only hope of selling it. lol
Ok is this only for the US because i dont think anybody would know who she is in the EU
i remembered the days when Sega sponsored the Williams F1 team back in 93
Lol, I don't get why its an issue. Why did Kobe Bryant do a commercial for an airline? Its marketing... it doesn't have to make sense as long as it gets people's attention which it obviously did.

Yeah, it bothers me too, Alan, but I haven't found a way to clean it up. I've worked on it in ACR, with the burn brush in Photoshop, and with Viveza, and so far I haven't found a way to reduce it convincingly without also removing the brightness from other parts.
...Thanks Chris. That's better than I was able to do. Did you clone?

On with the show!
"Smash" is back for its second season of sassy, sexy (and musical!) Broadway derring-do, both on stage and behind the scenes.
Last season this series dramatized the blossoming of "Bombshell," an exciting new musical about Marilyn Monroe, from its initial inspiration through the casting battle for the Marilyn role, with original songs and dance numbers emerging, then on to its preview engagement in Boston.
There's now a heightened focus on the Broadway world and a sharp cutback of "civilian" elements, such as the family life of "Bombshell" lyricist Julia (played by Debra Messing).
"This isn't domestic drama," says Joshua Safran, the new "Smash" showrunner who's ushered in the changes. "It was really important to me to not have a lot of outside story, to keep everything revolving around the musicals and the world of musicals, so that even if the characters have personal issues, it's all about how those personal issues are impacting their work."
This is a refinement endorsed by Christian Borle, who plays Julia's song-writing partner Tom (and who has real-life Broadway cred: He won a Tony Award last spring for his performance in the comedy "Peter and the Starcatcher").
"As somebody who has devoted a lot of time to the theater, I think it's fair to say that your personal life becomes absorbed into that world," Borle says. "So when you tell the dramatic story of the theater, you don't have to go far: it's ALL personal."
Besides, the scope of "Smash" will extend beyond the single Broadway-bound show "Bombshell."
"It will be about an entire group of theaters with shows and different actors and different composers and directors," says Safran, "but in a tight-knit community that allows us to have stories that touch upon one another."
Last season, "Smash" had a teeth-grinding effect on some viewers who found it cliched, preposterous or, worst of all, one-note. And, now, even after its rejiggering, it may still invite their snark. But other members of the audience will surely find it glorious.
The splendid cast includes the silver-throated McPhee and Hilty, along with Messing and Borle; Anjelica Huston as the never-say-die "Bombshell" producer; Jennifer Hudson in a multi-episode arc as a toast-of-Broadway singer; and Jack Davenport as Derek, the brilliant, womanizing director.
There are more original songs by Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman (whose credits include their Tony-winning score for the 2007 musical "Hairspray"). As the real-life song-writing team behind the on-screen Julia and Tom, they will have composed 31 tunes for the first two "Smash" seasons, including 22 infectious numbers for "Bombshell" itself, just released in a real-life cast recording as "Bombshell: The New Marilyn Musical from Smash."
"We try to write a good song that fits the musical, while also trying to make it about the characters on the TV show. It's a real juggling act," says Shaiman. "And a real Rubik's Cube: the amount of people who need to be in synch on this production is mind-boggling."
Those people also include choreographer Joshua Bergasse, who, each episode, masterminds two dance routines.
"Sometimes you get an idea, you get into the (rehearsal) studio the next day, and you shoot it the NEXT day," he says. "Choreograph, shoot it, move on the next one."
It all makes for a dazzling experience to watch. Elaborate production numbers are organically integrated into a melodramatic yet complex storyline. And unlike many eye-poppingly visual series, "Smash" can't rely on souped-up computer graphics.
"CGI is kind of easier," says Jack Davenport, noting that CGI post-production is handed off to its own team of specialists to complete. "We have to do all our staging for real — an hour of television every eight days."
With a little down time before his next scene, Davenport is chilling in his trailer dressing room, parked outside the theater on W. 176th Street.
His character has been a party to the series' realignment, which calls for making things lighter, a little more comic than last year. On the premiere, take a look at how last year's imperious lady-killer Derek has been humanized in a hilarious musical fantasy: A troupe of sexy women in a bar gang up on him as a mass rebuke to his chauvinist ways, to the tune of the Eurythmics' "Would I Lie to You?"
But just because "Smash" isn't scared to have fun doesn't mean it isn't close to the truth.
"To the untrained eye it might appear arch, high-camp, kind of over-the-top," says Davenport with a laugh. "Not in the slightest. This virtually is a documentary."
Furthermore, he notes, "Smash" is a perfect show for any viewer weary of TV violence.
"There is clearly a giant audience who loves watching people sift through the entrails of a murder victim," says Davenport, "and to each his own. But there's not a day that goes by on this show that I don't say to myself, 'Nobody has a gun!'"
Clearly, "Smash" sings a different tune.

Running and Breathing; Getting Started in Running
Over the weekend a friend of mine who just started running asked me why he has so much trouble getting past the two mile mark. He explained that more than anything else it was his breathing that was holding him back. Naturally, I began to offer some advice and also, naturally, I started going off on running related tangents left and right! So I quickly ended the discussion by telling him that I would send him an email with tips, links, etc ...He readily accepted because he realized that I could have gone on and on and on! This post is a sketch of an introduction to running...
I was a beginner runner about 8 years ago. Before I started running, I was 30 lbs heavier, smoked quite a bit, drank my fair share of alcohol and did not care to much about eating healthy. I should disclose that I was in college at that point so all that "partying" was in some sort of context. I never ran track or ran with a running group or club so I have had no formal running training or any source of motivation besides myself. I played baseball and soccer through high school and my Dad has been a runner since before I was born. My Mom used to own and operate a Diet Center and she has always been into maintaining a relatively healthy diet. My parents instilled a health conscious mindset in me which I did not know was there until my early twenties... I thank them dearly for it! In 2002 my grandfather was suffering from strokes which eventually ended his life in 2003. I started to become more health conscious. I watched what I ate, drank and smoked. I started running... Probably not in the healthiest way (I would sometimes smoke weed and then go for a run!), but I started out by logging about 2-3 miles along the Potomac River trail in Washington DC (just below Georgetown). I would throw on my headphones and just cruise along the path with no concern of my pace or really how far I was going. After a couple of months, my curiosity started to kick in and I wanted to see how much farther down (or is it up?) the Potomac River I could make it.
My Dad provided me with the only two pieces of running advice I had prior to beginning to run and they turned out to be the two most crucial pieces of running advice I can offer. The first is pace yourself and the second is breath in through your nose and out through your mouth. To me these two rules are the foundation of becoming a successful runner. As you run more and more you will learn how to build on those two elements.
As you are working through your first month of running I would focus on things other than the running itself. After all, running is a natural thing! It is part of human evolution! You have all of the equipment you need... your body! There has been quite a bit of discussion about barefoot and/or minimalist-shoe running lately in the running community (check out this ARTICLE from RUNNING TIMES). If you're just starting out, it would serve you well to read up on some of the research and discussions that have been going on. So now that, you're ready to step out for your first run, focus on the fact that just by moving your body you are covering some significant distance. The human body is an amazing machine and the resilience of your own body will amaze you. Focus on the nature around you, focus on moving with whatever music you're listening to or listen to your body move. This focus will help you find your natural desire to run.
To me, the most rewarding thing about running is overcoming a challenge. This doesn't mean that running is always a struggle... far from it! Challenges are the beauty of running and this will translate to all areas of your life. I always remind myself to "love the struggle". When you embrace your challenges you will overcome them. "Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional."
As you work your way through your first month, SLOWLY build on your runs. Try a hilly-er route or try to doing a short sprint. The key to improving your running is to vary your runs. Check out this exceptional BEGINNERS RUNNING GUIDE from the training plan master, Hal Higdon.

Next Episode of Screen Test is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
Screen Test was a children's quiz show originally hosted by Michael Rodd. Later hosts were Brian Trueman and Mark Curry. Children would compete against one another answering questions about films after being shown short clips. Winners from the heats would return to compete in the semi finals and hopefully gain a place in the final in an attempt to be crowned the series champion.
Looks like something went completely wrong!
But don't worry - it can happen to the best of us,
- and it just happened to you.

The September 12 announcement of the iPhone 5 was anything but shocking to the tech world, but that doesn't mean we won't all dash out to get one. That's the crazy thing about Apple products: the information can leak days in advance, but the official announcement can put consumers in a trance until they wake up in line on launch day. There's no stopping the horde of fruit phone frenzied zombies, so you may as well prepare yourself to join in.
Before you decide to jump head-first into the pool of iPhone 5 early adopters, make sure that you take a look at everything that's out there. The market is full of worthy competitors, from the Galaxy S3 to the new Razrs, and even Apple's own iPhone 4S. Who are we kidding, though? You want the iPhone 5. I mean, just look at the thing. If you've made up your mind and are already packing your tent to camp out at the Apple Store, make sure to arm yourself with this information.
The iPhone 5 will become available for pre-order online through the Apple Store on Friday, Sept. 14. The phone will officially be available on the following Friday, Sept. 21. Apple stores open at 8:00 a.m., so make sure you've got a fresh cup of coffee for the morning. The lowest price rung for the iPhone will be the 16GB model for $200, followed by the 32GB for $300, and the 64GB for $400.
Pre-Order Details
Sprint customers should sprint to Sprint's iPhone page to do their own pre-order. While the site will remain filled with old model information until the 14th, the service provider will start their own pre-order offer at 12:01 a.m. AT&T users can also get themselves geared up to keep hitting the refresh button come Friday, because they have a pre-order option available as well. The information is likely to live right after midnight on AT&T's iPhone page. No word has come from Verizon about a Friday frenzy, but it'd be a safe bet for customers to bookmark the Verizon iPhone landing page there.
Update 9/14/2012 10:22am by Jeffrey VC: Apple's website sold out of launch day iPhones at around 1 a.m. last night. It is currently offering phones with a ship date of "2 weeks," meaning that those who pre-order may receive their iPhones a week after the Sept. 21 launch day. In-store pickup on 9/21 is also not being offered online anymore. As of this posting, Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint's pre-order sites are still offering 9/21/2012 delivery.
Update 9/14/2012 2:43pm by Jeffrey VC: I checked the status of pre-orders on all sites. Sprint is still offering 9/21 delivery, Apple.com promises 2 weeks, Verizon is now promising 9/28 delivery, and AT&T says orders will arrive within 14-21 days. Demand is rumored to be higher than expected.
Update 9/14/2012: 5:47pm by Jeffrey VC: Those who pre-order on Apple.com will now receive orders within "2-3 weeks."
Update 9/17/2012: 12:33pm by AJ Dellinger: AT&T is reporting that they hit a record number of sales with iPhone 5 over the weekend, making it the fastest-selling phone that the service provider has ever offered, which fits in with Apple's narrative of 2 million units sold. According to the company's press release, the handset is still available for pre-order on their website. Going through the process of purchasing the phone online still shows a 14-21 business day wait to ship. Similarly, Verizon's pre-order process now shows a wait until October 5 for delivery.
Update 9/18/2012: 11:30am by AJ Dellinger: On a tip from Community Manager Jeremy Johnson, we looked into Radio Shack's pre-order situation. The search also prompted some research into other retailers, so all retailer pre-order information is listed below. Thanks again to Jeremy!
Update 9/19/2012 11:05am by AJ Dellinger: Digital Trends' Trevor Mogg reported earlier today that the wait for an iPhone 5 from Apple.com was now up to 3 to 4 weeks. A quick check of the major carriers show a 2-3 week delay. AT&T ranges 14 to 21 days for all models, Verizon promises an October 5 delivery, and Sprint has a 3 week delay for the 16GB model but just a 1 week wait for the 32GB or 64GB version. Retailers will vary based on location. For those hoping to get their hands on the day of releases, Natt Garun is reporting lines are already forming at the New York Apple store. With iOS 6 out today, people will get their first chance to play with the operating system that will come loaded on the new Apple handset. It may, assuming it's well received, push those delivery estimates and lines back even further.
Update 10/2/2012 3:oopm by AJ Dellinger: A quick check of the Apple.com store reveals a 3-4 week wait for an iPhone 5. The shortage has gone global with the release in other countries. If you're willing to try regional carriers or pre-paid contract options, you might be able to get ahold of the iPhone a little quicker. It's likely to be a bit of a wait regardless across the board, though.
Pre-Ordering from Retailers
Delays galore are coming from Apple and mobile service providers that will keep early adopters from being day one users. Overwhelming interest in the iPhone 5 has made the most sought-after phone since the last iPhone a bit elusive. Luckily for consumers, there's always another option. Major retailers will be getting stocks of the handsets as well.
Radio Shack confirmed that they would be offering pre-orders for September 21 delivery. The process for the Radio Shack pre-order requires you to actually go into the store according to the RadioShack Twitter account and was confirmed with a call to a local Radio Shack store. It appears the phone is available for all major carrier plans and reservations can be placed for a $50 deposit. Pre-orders are limited and availability may vary, but there were still some left at my local Shack store when I called.
Best Buy also is offering an in-store pre-order as well, though it appears many are reporting a wait from the big blue box store. As with most retailers, Best Buy stores will get a limited number of handsets shipped for release day. Calling my local Best Buy about the pre-order revealed a 7-14 day wait. This may vary at locations near you, so it very well could be worth a call or a visit. The phone can be purchased for all major carriers and will cost a $50 gift card purchase. You'll receive an email with details on when your phone will be available, so just cross your fingers it says, "September 21."
Target stores with a Target Mobile section are taking pre-orders for the September 21 release, though the amount available is limited. Target will be carrying the 16GB and 32GB in black or white, but only for the AT&T and Sprint networks. Call your local Target Mobile center–there are 1,500 across the US–and see if you can still get your iPhone for launch day.
Walmart may be the most notable retailer to offer a pre-order simply because they're doing it for less. What else would one expect from Walmart? As we previously reported, the 16GB version of the iPhone 5 is available for $10 less than everywhere else, ringing up at $189.97. You'll have to place your order in-store and put down a $25 deposit. This will land you a reservation card, which you can exchange for the phone you're desiring on September 21–presuming your location still has it in stock. You'll also get a $4.99 credit for a movie from VUDU.
Walmart's partner, Sam's Club, has their own offer on the iPhone 5 16GB model. That is to say, it's the only model they're offering. Call your local Sam's Club and see if they have any still available for September 21 pick-up. Mine did, though it sounded like there were very few left. If your location is out, they will place you on a waiting list and inform you when your phone will be available for pick up. Expect about a two-week delay if they don't have any available. A limited number will also be released in-store starting at 10a.m. on Friday September 21, so waiting overnight may prove fruitful.
Pre-paid and regional carriers
One place that Apple is looking to make a splash where they haven't previously is with regional carriers. The iPhone 5 began appearing on region-specific carriers as early as a week after the US launch, and in some cases has done so with a $50 discount. The LTE handset from Apple is available on Appalachian Wireless, nTelos, Cellcom, C Spire, and GCI, Bluegrass Cellular, Golden State Cellular, Next-Tech Wireless, Pioneer Wireless, and MTA Solutions. Cellcom, nTelos, and Appalachian offering the price break to entice customers. These discounts lower the price of a 16GB to $149, 32GB to $249, and 64GB to $349. It's worth noting that the nTelos network is yet to launch it's LTE network, so users will be functioning off of Sprint's 3G network.
Pre-paid contract provider Cricket Communications, owned by Leap Wireless, also has the iPhone 5 available with their unique purchase plan. The 16GB model will run $499.99 for the handset and the monthly plan can be custom built to fit your needs. This means a bigger price tag up front, but a potentially better deal on the back end with smaller monthly costs.
Other countries with the iPhone 5
The initial September 21, 2012 launch for the iPhone 5 brought the sought-after phone to the United States and eight other countries including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. Since then, a total of 22 countries have got in on the action. The following countries are a part of the iPhone 5 family:
- Austria
- Belgium
- Czech Republic
- Denmark
- Estonia
- Finland
- Hungary
- Ireland
- Italy
- Liechtenstein
- Lithuania
- Luxembourg
- Netherlands
- New Zealand
- Norway
- Poland
- Portugal
- Slovakia
- Slovenia
- Spain
- Sweden
- Switzerland
It's worth noting that all of these countries are currently experiencing stock shortages similar to those that US and global consumers had for September 21. If you're thinking of trying to import a phone in some work around, expect a 3-4 week delay.
What to Expect when Pre-Ordering
If you decide to be one of the brave few (million) that decide to stay up to snag an early purchase of the iPhone 5, there are a few things you should prepare for. First of all, slow loading. These sites are built to manage a fair amount of traffic, but any event like this is sure to cause the servers to take a beating. If you have to refresh a few times, don't be too shocked. Once you do get through, you should make sure that you've received email confirmation of your order. This will come in handy when you decide to pick up your phone from the local carrier of choice.
What to Expect In-Store
Buying an Apple product on the day of launch historically calls for a camping session the night before. There might not be s'mores in store, but there are no bears either, and you'll be getting the ultimate Swiss Army Knife when you wake up in the morning. Needless to say, though, you should arrive as early as you possibly can to secure your spot in line. If you're not committed to the cause and you didn't pre-order, don't bother. Wait for the madness to die down after the first few weeks so you can easily slip in and out of the store without running the risk of being squished or body-surfed to the back of the line. But if you want an iPhone on launch day and don't want to pre-order, be prepared to get in line and wait there… for many hours.

ArtsWatch: Less Gain, Less Pain For TV Ads
The Recording Academy actively represents the music community on such issues as intellectual property rights, music piracy, archiving and preservation, and censorship concerns. In pursuing its commitment to addressing these and other issues, The Recording Academy undertakes a variety of national initiatives. ArtsWatch is a key part of an agenda aimed at raising public awareness of and support for the rights of artists. To become more involved, visit Advocacy Action @ GRAMMY.com and sign up for Advocacy Action E-lerts.
Legislation to prevent blaring television ads passed Congress on Dec. 2 and is expected to be signed into law shortly by President Barack Obama. The Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act, S. 2847, gives the Federal Communications Commission up to one year to mandate adoption of an advertisement volume standard issued by the Advanced Television Systems Committee and automatically includes any successor to the standard. Bill sponsor Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) said, "Most Americans experience the frustration of abrasively loud television commercials, with advertisers grabbing for our attention through this intrusive practice. While this is far from the biggest issue we face, it will mean one less daily annoyance in our lives."
On Dec. 3 the White House issued a statement that said, "President Obama today announced the successful resolution of the outstanding issues with the U.S.-Korea trade agreement, setting the stage for consideration of the agreement by Congress in the coming months." Two sticking points — automobile tariffs and U.S. beef exports — received special treatment so they would not impede the other areas in which negotiators reached agreement. These included a host of copyright-friendly provisions that drew enthusiastic endorsements from the Entertainment Industry Coalition For Free Trade, the International Intellectual Property Alliance, MPAA, and RIAA. EIC Executive Director Elizabeth Frazee said, "We will work hard as a coalition to educate the U.S. Congress about the benefits of the agreement and urge its rapid consideration...."
Encouraging kudos came quickly after Google's Dec. 2 announcement of several new steps to crack down on infringement, including comments from IFPI, MPAA, RIAA, and several British organizations. Consumer advocates Public Knowledge commended Google's intention to improve notices to users whose content is taken down or deleted from Google. Digital Music News had the most colorful reaction with the headline: "Let's Face It: Google's Still A Piracy Whorehouse. It's Just Getting Cleaned Up A Little." A more definitive development was the company's announcement the following day regarding its acquisition of Widevine Technologies, a digital video company with digital rights management technology that is well regarded by major motion picture studios and belongs to the UltraViolet secure-delivery consortium.
On Dec. 6 the law firm behind SaveCinema.org dropped 4,400 defendants from one of its mass-infringement lawsuits in Washington, D.C., federal court because the judge did not want thousands of distant defendants lumped together in one lawsuit. The attorneys are hoping to partner with a network of local law firms around the United States in order to refile. The practice of suing thousands of infringers at the same time drew attention when it was revealed by The Hollywood Reporter in March of this year — the strong opposition and intense press coverage were probably anticipated before the attorneys committed to their strategy. Opponents of the lawsuits hope this geographical fragmentation will be a death blow, destroying the potential for such litigation to be profitably pursued. On the other hand, suing consumer infringers on behalf of indie filmmakers is now a franchise opportunity. If local law firms get up to speed, there is likely to be no shortage of nearby online copyright infringers to sue.
Steve Gibson's Righthaven law firm has been aggressively suing defendants who posted material online from its single client — a Nevada newspaper. The good news for the firm is that it now boasts The Denver Post as a new, additional client. The bad news is that Righthaven's suit against Democratic Underground is being vigorously contested and the defendant protests it deserves to be compensated for its legal fees as a condition for Righthaven's request to drop this lawsuit. Opponents of this kind of aggressive copyright litigation complain that the plaintiffs' business model is to shake down defendants for thousands of dollars in settlements as a way to avoid appearing in court. The eventual outcomes for such infringement suits remain a big unknown that will likely take years to be resolved through judicial appeals.
The major television networks are suing two different Internet companies — FilmOn and Ivi TV — for copyright infringement before the same New York U.S. District Court judge. Although both companies claim to be allowed to retransmit network broadcasts under the rules that apply to cable systems, the cases are meaningfully different, especially because FilmOn exposed itself to liability by offering programming over the Internet for free during what it claims was a promotional window.
On Dec. 5 The New York Times reported that Microsoft had succeeded in its efforts to encourage Russian prosecutors to drop a software piracy case against an environmental group — a prosecution that seemed politically motivated. In September Microsoft commenced a new free license for international activist groups to help prevent government accusations of copyright infringement from being misused as a tool for political suppression.
Berklee College of Music's Career Development Center released a comprehensive survey of salaries in the music industry on Dec. 6. CDC Director Peter Spellman said, "Music students and their parents need to see the options available to music creators. This provides a bird's eye view of the music landscape and the many paths within it." The first-of-its-kind survey's usefulness is not confined to its educational context.
On Dec. 6 Britain's prestigious and controversial Turner Prize for art was awarded to artist Susan Philipsz, the first time a sound installation won the award. Penelope Curtis, chairman of the judges, said, "The way she's managed to make you look at things differently by hearing things differently is really quite exceptional."
