The
70th annual Cannes Film Festival is
scheduled to be held from 17 to 28 May
2017. Spanish film director and
screenwriter Pedro Almodóvar has
been selected as the President of the Jury
for the festival with Italian actress
Monica Bellucci hosting the opening and
closing
ceremonies.
••••
Roman
Polansky joins Cannes film festival
lineup. The director's latest thriller
will premiere at the
festival. The
announcement arrives as the film-maker's
lawyer
continues
to battle for the Oscar winner's return
to the US after he
fled in 1977. Last month, Polanski was
denied the promise of "special treatment"
if he came back to the US. Polansky has
spent the last 40 years in
Europe.
••••
The Rosemary's Baby director's new
thriller Based on a True Story will play
out of competition. It stars Eva Green as
a mysterious woman who tries to insert
herself into the life of a famous author,
played by Polanski's off-screen wife
Emmanuelle Seigner.
••••
Polanski's last
film Venus in Fur also received its
premiere at the Cannes film festival and
won him the Cesar for best director. Last

The latest technology at the
OFC
By Gary
Sunkin
••••
A dynamic global gathering taking place at
the Los Angeles Convention Center on March
19 - 23.
••••
The Optical Fiber Communication Conference
and Exhibition (OFC) is the largest global
conference and exhibition for optical
communications and networking
professionals. For over 40 years, OFC has
drawn attendees from all corners of the
globe to meet and greet, teach and learn,
make connections and move business
forward.
••••
OFC attracts the biggest names in the
field, offers key networking and
partnering opportunities, and provides
insights and inspiration on the major
trends and technology advances affecting
the industry. From technical presentations
to the latest market trends and
predictions.
••••
Some of the
panelists at the "Hyperscale data centers:
Inside and out" were Rafik Ward, SVP of
Glodal Marketing. Ward is responsidle for
Product Management, Strategic Management,
Strategic Marketing, and Corporate
Communication Functions since joining the
company in 2003; Dr. Ryohei Urata, Sr.
Staff Tech Lead,Google; Dr, Bardia
Pezeshki President & CEO Kaiam; Glenn
Wellbrock, Director Optical Transport
Network, Architecture design and planning,
Verizon.
••••
During the
"Hyperscale Data Centers: Inside and Out"
panel discussion, Ryohei Urata from Google
was asked whether OSFP (octal small form
factor pluggable) or QSFP-DD (quad small
form factor pluggable double density) was
going to lead in the intra-data center
market. Ryohei outlined his vision of
putting long-haul coherent optics in a
client-side pluggable for speeds beyond
400G. This would allow Google to use the
same module for inter- and intra-data
center distances while also giving it the
ability to use coherent optics within the
data center.
••••
Google would expect
the switch manufacturers to upgrade to the
new form factor, which would eliminate the
need for backward-compatibility with
QSFP28.
••••
Google strongly
favors the OSFP form factor. However, Ovum
believes that placing coherent optics and
a DSP within an OSFP module would be a
huge challenge and require substantial
R&D investments. Managing the power
and heat within the module alone would be
extremely difficult.
••••
The industry has
been trying for years, unsuccessfully, to
place long-haul optics into a client-size
pluggable. To help the industry move
forward, Google might need to assist with
NRE (non-recurring engineering)
funding.
••••
The last day of the 2017 OFC Conference
and Exhibition offered another full day of
technical sessions, the second Poster
Session and the Postdeadline Papers
Session. In the Exhibition, the Expo
Theaters featured the concluding two
panels for Market Watch, one product
showcase and five show floor programs.

23rd
Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards® "By
the
Numbers"
LOS ANGELES
(Jan. 26, 2017) -- The style and
décor of the 23rd Annual Screen
Actors Guild Awards® looks
optimistically into the future using
cherished elements of the theater's
historic vernacular. Miles of polished
chain strands hang behind the stage with
linear perfection, punctuated by dozens of
fully controllable small LED lights, yet
they're carefully designed in waves that
echo the shape of cinema's Golden Age
velvet curtains. A giant screen is the
center of attention, as expected, but
ultra-high-resolution digital technology
takes the place of projectors and xenon
arc lamps. Adding to the drama, the stage
is illuminated in an ever-changing gallery
of captured and reflected lighting
imagery. Throughout the venue, from the
chandeliers to the table settings, the
ornate gilt of years gone past is
translated into a subtle modern interplay
of silver and light.

23rd
Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards® "By

Numbers"
LOS ANGELES
(Jan. 26, 2017) -- The style and
décor of the 23rd Annual Screen
Actors Guild Awards® looks
optimistically into the future using
cherished elements of the theater's
historic vernacular. Miles of polished
chain strands hang behind the stage with
linear perfection, punctuated by dozens of
fully controllable small LED lights, yet
they're carefully designed in waves that
echo the shape of cinema's Golden Age

of captured and reflected lighting
imagery. Throughout the venue, from the
chandeliers to the table settings, the
ornate gilt of years gone past is
translated into a subtle modern interplay
of silver and light.
••••
This sophisticated design sets the tone
for this year's SAG Awards®, an event
that embodies culture, style and community
for attendees and audiences alike. That
welcoming atmosphere makes it easy to
forget that everything here is on a
larger-than-life scale.
••••
How large a scale? Here are just a few of
the numbers and other fun facts that go
into transforming the huge empty space
that is the Shrine Exposition Center into
the dazzling event that is the 23rd Annual
Screen Actors Guild Awards.
The
Arrivals
•••••
Guests walk past international media and
fans along 17,100 square feet of red
carpet
•••••
There are 12,500 lineal feet of hedges
used for edging
•••••
Three rows of six-foot high bleachers,
totaling 180 lineal feet, accommodate 300
fans
••••
Attendees are shielded from the weather by
21,500 square feet of tenting that covers
the red carpet
The
Actor®
•••••
Each solid bronze Actor® statuette is
16 inches tall and weighs a substantial 12
pounds
•••••
It takes a team of 10 craftspeople at
American Fine Arts Foundry three to four
weeks to make The Actors® each
year
•••••
Since 1995, the 1st Annual SAG Awards, 952
Actor® statuettes have been
awarded
•••••
Each statuette is individually numbered,
with The Actor No. 1 on display at
SAG-AFTRA headquarters in Los Angeles
•••••
Seven larger-than-life replicas of The
Actor® statuette, each nearly ten feet
tall and weighing 162 pounds, are
strategically positioned as guardians of
the red carpet, the Showroom, and the
Post-Awards Gala
•••••
Each giant Actor is made from steel,
shaped using a silicone and fiberglass
mold before being refined and
painted
The
Venue
•••••
The iconic Los Angeles Shrine Auditorium
and Expo Hall was the largest theater in
the United States when it was built in
1926
•••••
The SAG Awards annually transforms the
Shrine's Expo Hall into an intimate dinner
showroom for the televised ceremony and
the Auditorium stage into a unique setting
for the Post-Awards Gala hosted by People
and the Entertainment Industry
Foundation.
•••••
At 194 feet (59 meters) wide and 69 feet
(21 meters) deep, the Shrine's is thought
to be the largest proscenium arch stage in
the country.
••••
The Shrine was designated a Los Angeles
Historic-Cultural Monument in 1975
••••
In 1933, David O. Selznick's
groundbreaking King Kong used the Shrine
as the "New York" theater where the giant
gorilla gets exhibited, helping to keep
the film's budget down to $672,000 (under
$12 million in 2017 dollars)
The
Showroom
•••••
It takes at least four days to transform
the Showroom for the SAG Awards, a feat
made possible by months of
pre-planning
•••••
The Shrine Exposition Center's 34,000
square foot wooden floor is cloaked in
11,800 square feet of black carpet
•••••
About 15,000 square feet of black drapery
swathes the previously bare walls
•••
• Over 150,000
linear feet of chain (roughly 46,000
meters) &endash; enough to stretch across
the 30-Mile Studio Zone &endash; are used
to create the curtains and chandeliers
•••••
The stage floor is overlaid with 300
sheets, 4 foot by 4 foot each, of black
glossy Formica
The
People
•••••
All SAG-AFTRA members in good standing are
eligible to vote in all categories, which
means 121,546 peers in the actors' union
choose the honorees this year
••••
247 actors have been nominated for the
23rd Screen Actors Guild Awards
•••••
525 performers (350 for Film, 175 for
Television) are nominated in Outstanding
Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble
categories
•••••
It takes more than 700 staff and crew to
make the SAG Awards a reality
The
Audience
•••••
About 300,000 pedestrians a day walk past
the giant Spectacolor HD electric
billboard in Times Square that will be
showing the live webcast of the official
People, EW & TNT's SAG Awards® Red
Carpet Live pre-show
•••••
The Spectacolor HD billboard display is
744 pixels x 992 pixels, and it requires
video encoded at 10,000 &endash; 25,000
kbits/sec
•••••
The programming also will be seen on ten
billboards in New York subway's digital
network.
•••
• The People,
EW & TNT's SAG Awards® Red Carpet
Live pre-show will stream simultaneously

DOVE® Chocolate is
providing generous quantities of its

CineMerit to
Ellen Burstyn
••••
Detroit-born
actress Ellen Burstyn will receive the
2016 CineMerit Award for her contribution
to the cinematic arts. Burstyn has won the
Oscar, the Golden Globe, two Emmys and a
BAFTA, in addition to over 20 major
international prizes. She is the
co-director of the famed Actors Studio in
New York, encouraging and training young
actors in the craft. She was inducted into
the American Theatre Hall of Fame in
2013.
••••
Ellen Burstyn was born Edna Rae Gillooly
in Detroit, Michigan, in 1932. She began
her career as a model, appearing on TV for
the first time in 1955 as a dancer on the
Jackie Gleason Show before taking on her
first Broadway role in 1957 in FAIR GAME.
She had her first major role in a motion
picture in Vincente Minnelli's GOODBYE
CHARLIE (1964) alongside Tony Curtis and
Debbie Reynolds. She began studying at The
Actors' Studio with Lee Strasberg in
1963.
••••Ellen
Burstyn's breakthrough came in 1971 with
Peter Bogdanovich's THE LAST PICTURE SHOW.
The next year, she acted the part of
Regan's mother in William Friedkin's
horror classic THE EXORCIST, which became
one of the first major modern
blockbusters, earning over $100 million at
the box office and making her world
famous. She earned Academy Award
nominations as Best Actress for both
films.
••••She
produced her next film ALICE DOESN'T LIVE
HERE ANYMORE (1974) herself, tapping
then-unknown director Martin Scorsese to
helm. Her turn as a single mother
struggling to get by with her 12-year-old
son finally won Ellen Burstyn her Best
Actress Oscar. She received the Tony Award
the same year for Broadway hit SAME TIME,
NEXT YEAR, going on to star in the film
version directed by Robert Mulligan 1979
with Alan Alda, which earned her the
Golden Globe and her next Academy Award
nomination, followed by another nom for
RESURRECTION in 1981.
••••In
the 1980s and '90s, Ellen Burstyn mainly
performed on television, including her own
sitcom "The Ellen Burstyn Show" 1986/87.
She hosted the first episode of "Saturday
Night Live" with Eddie Murphy 1980, also
featuring Aretha Franklin. She taught
acting at The Actors Studio and took over
as artistic director with Al Pacino after
the death of Lee Strasberg 1982-88, a post
she resumed in the year 2000 with Pacino
and Harvey Keitel and still holds today.
She was the first woman President of the
Actors' Equity Foundation 1982 to
1985.
••••
Ellen Burstyn
earned her sixth Oscar nomination and
seventh Golden Globe nom for her part as
diet pill junkie Sara Goldfarb in Darren
Aronofsky's REQUIEM FOR A DREAM. Aronofsky
cast her again in THE FOUNTAIN 2006.
••••She
continued to act on TV in the 2000s,
earning Emmy nominations for her
performances in MRS. HARRIS (2006), BIG
LOVE (2008), and FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC
(2014). She won the Emmy 2009 for a guest
appearance on LAW & ORDER: NEW YORK
and 2012 for her part in miniseries

30,000 attend the legendary Cannes Film
Festival
By Gordon
Talbott 00
••••The
festival opened on May 11 with a screening
of Woody Allen's new film, "Café
Society," and runs through May 22 in the
southern French resort city. In
competition for the Palme d'Or this year
are films by Pedro Almodóvar,
Olivier Assayas, the Dardenne brothers,
Jim Jarmusch, Cristian Mungiu, Jeff
Nichols and Sean Penn.
••••
Jodie Foster's "Money Monster" and Steven
Spielberg's "The BFG" have been be shown
out of competition.
••••
After the recent terrorist attacks in
France, organizers say they have ramped up
security to the highest level in the
festival's history.
••••This
year's dinner was more subdued than those
in the past and took place inside the
Palais des Festivals et des
Congrès, the official headquarters,
where a fleet of police and guards mingled
with politicians, stars, movie icons and
fame seeking starlets.
••••Cinema
gives Cannes its reason for being, but it
is celebrity that keeps it going. Now in
its 69th year, the festival has survived
assorted bumps, including television, the
transition to digital and World War II,
which led to the cancellation of the
inaugural edition, in 1939. When it got
underway in 1946, its slate included Jean
Cocteau's "Beauty and the Beast." A
quotation from Cocteau on the festival
website asserts that Cannes is "an
apolitical no man's land, a microcosm of
what the world would be like if people
could make direct contact with one another
and speak the same language." The
apolitical part has never really existed,
as the event's history of protests and
policing show.
••••Certainly,
it is still nonexistent, given that France
remains under a state of emergency,
following the deadly November attacks in
and around Paris. Festivalgoers arrived
amid competing dramatic headlines &emdash;
"Bomb sweeps and bag checks as terror
threat looms over Cannes," The Guardian
announced on Tuesday &emdash; that
suggested that attendees could expect to
endure the paramilitary-like rigors of an
Academy Awards ceremony having to pass
through several metal detectors.
•••
Yet entrance to the Palais remains much
the same as before and largely involves
personnel peering in bags, confiscating
water bottles (and apples and sandwiches)
and scanning attendees with electronic
security wands.
••••And,
so, it's on with the show, with all its
glamour, gowns, parties, high-ticket
hookers, trolling Lamborghinis, incessant
Euro disco and the push and pull between
the dream world onscreen and the one
outside the Palais. Cannes is nothing if
not in touch with its history, including
its commitment to protocol, and it is
apparently not going to let the threat of
terror get in the way of some 30,000 souls
who are here to screen, to see and be
seen. The players, including the juries,
have convened; the first reviews have
already been written, read and
forgotten.

BERLIN
-- Meryl Streep
Wraps up Berlin Film Festival. The
66-year-old Oscar-winning actress served
on the festival's jury ... During the
festival, she also attended the premiere
of the George Clooney's "Hail,
Caesar!"
••••
Meryl Streep and
her Berlin jury have picked the winners of
the 66th annual film fest's Gold and
Silver Bears. The most politically-charged
Berlin Film Festival of recent years came
to a head with the awards ceremony for the
winners of the Gold and Silver Bears.
Meryl Streep said of the Golden
Bear-winning film "Fire at Sea" from
Gianfranco Rosi:
••••
Three-time
Oscar-winner Streep said her 7-member jury
was "swept away" by Fire at Sea, which she
called "urgent, imaginative and necessary
filmmaking." It is a documentary on the
refugee crisis, looking at the island of
Lampadusa in Italy where thousands of
refugees have flooded into Europe. "This
is a film that commands our attention and
demands action."
••••
Rosi told reporters
after the awards ceremony late Saturday,
February 20, that he would aim to show the
film to the people of Lampedusa in an
open-air screening in the spring.
••••
The festival had
placed a special spotlight on the refugee
issue, after Germany let in more than 1.1
million asylum seekers last year.
••••
Donations boxes to
support charities helping torture
survivors were placed at cinema venues,
and festival internships and free tickets
were reserved for migrants.

George Clooney,
whose Hail, Caesar! opened the event, even
met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel
with his wife Amal "to talk about how best

Closing & Award Ceremony of the 66th
Berlin International Film Festival will
take place February 20.
• Plight of refugees
••••
This year's Berlin Film Festival shines a
spotlight on the plight of refugees in a
string of documentaries and movies as
Europe s endures the largest refugee
influx since World War II, with 1.1
million asylum seekers arriving in Germany
last year, the theme of migration will be
omnipresent at the festival and the
politically attuned showcase hopes to
attract refugees as well as film fans this
year.
••••
Jay Weissberg, a Europe-based critic for
trade publication Variety, said it was no
surprise that the Berlin festival would
make refugees a theme at a time when
Europe is wrestling with how to deal with
the millions fleeing to its shores.
••••
•The
festival that began in 1951 when Germany
-- and Europe -- was recovering from a war
that had uprooted millions of people is
making an extra effort to welcome the
latest wave of refugees who have fled war
in Syria, Iraq and elsewhere.
••••Refugees
will be taken behind the scenes of the

who are helping them to adjust to life in
Germany, and there will be a
refugee-staffed food truck serving up
Mediterranean fare with the aid of a
celebrity chef, the festival said in a
statement.

Kosslick, the festival's director, told
Reuters in an interview that without
losing sight of its primary goal of
presenting the best of world cinema, this
year's Berlinale is programmed in part to
show why people become refugees.
••••
"If you lose your
homeland you don't lose it because you
want to leave your house, you want to
leave your garden, your flowers, your
family," Kosslick said. "You want to be
happy, and you are leaving because you are
not happy and this is the way you can see
the whole Berlinale."
Germany has taken in more than a million
refugees over the past year, the largest
number of any European country.
••••
The Berlinale's
European Film Market (EFM) is also heading
for success in 2016. This international
platform for trading in film rights and
audio-visual content has again registered
a rising number of visitors and
exhibitors.

The Screen Actors Guild Awards will not
know how many of The Actor® statuettes
it will need until the awards presenters

number of categories is known ahead of
time, the possibility of multiple

Outstanding Performance by the Cast of a

115- The Internet
of Things at
CES
"Things that didn't Internet
before are now
Internetting."
••••
As CES ballooned into an overwhelming
crush of products, in recent years,
longtime attendees griped about too much
stuff and not enough
substance.
••••
There was less emphasis on the typical CES
electronics like televisions, tablets and
smartphones, and more attention paid to
industry-changing innovations such as
connected, electric and driverless cars;
the Internet of Things; drones; virtual
reality and gaming; and entertainment
tech. To reflect that shift, the Consumer
Electronics Assn., which produces CES,
recently changed its name to the Consumer
Technology Assn. -- a symbolic
move.
••••
With automakers heavy presence at CES, in
recent years it has become almost as much
of a car show as a consumer electronics
one. Although cars weren't historically
part of the CES lineup, the auto
industry's participation "is an absolute
natural fit" as cars have become important
platforms to house technology.
•
Smarter stuff
••••
Another big trend at CES was judging by
all the connected gadgets and appliances
unveiled at last week's Show, what's
called the Internet of Things. It's about
to strip you of much of your
privacy.
••••
For items such as appliances and
accessories, everything continues to get
smarter. The fridge can tell you that
you're out of milk; your bed knows how
many times you tossed and how many times
you turned; your blender can weigh your
smoothies; and your shower can scold you
for being a water hog.
••••
You have a steady stream of data about
your personal behavior that can be
combined with other information to provide
marketers, insurers and others with
extremely intimate portraits of the life
you lead when you think no one's
watching.
•
Scary stuff --
made all the more troubling by the fact
that there's very little regulation
overseeing this fast-growing corner of
cyberspace.
••••
"There's definitely a creepiness factor,"
said Gilad Rosner, founder of the Internet
of Things Privacy Forum, a London think
tank. "Things that didn't Internet before
are now
Internetting."
••••
He gave the example of someone having a
so-called smart scale in their bathroom.
On the plus side, it could transmit data
to a smartphone app that enables you to
track your weight over various lengths of
time and show which foods are having the
biggest
impact.
••••
"But you might not know where else the
information is going," A hacker could slip
in through a poorly protected smart
appliance and gain access to your entire
home
network.
••••
They could turn on all cameras and
microphones in all your devices and see
and hear everything you do, or shut down
your entire
network.
••••
There is great need for federal
authorities to create rules for business'
use of customer data. Rapid advances in
connected devices underline the importance
of privacy
safeguards.
••••
It is stimated that 6.4 billion connected
gadgets will be in use worldwide by the
end of this year, rising to almost 21
billion by 2020. Roughly 5.5 million
devices are hooked up to the Internet of
Things every day.
Susan Etlinger, an analyst with San
Francisco tech-research firm Altimeter
Group, predicted that control of
smart-device data will be the focus of
aggressive industry lobbying in years
ahead.

KEN
BURNS TO RIDE IN THE 127TH TOURNAMENT OF
ROSES® PARADE AS GRAND
MARSHAL
PASADENA,
Calif. -- Award-winning filmmaker Ken
Burns, who has directed and produced some
of the most admired documentaries about
the history of the United States, was
selected as the 2016 Tournament of Roses
Grand Marshal.
••••
Throughout his almost 40-year career
making documentary films, Burns, age 62,
has been honored with countless awards,
including 14 Emmy® Awards, two
Grammy® Awards and two Oscar®
nominations. Burns will ride in the 127th
Rose Parade® presented by Honda,
themed "Find Your Adventure" on January 1,
2016.
••••
Tournament of Roses President, Mike
Matthiessen, made the announcement at a
public event at Tournament House in
Pasadena, during which the 2016 Grand
Marshal was revealed through a celebratory
documentary video created by Burns
--
http://youtu.be/eUoebRg5_p8
••••
"Ken Burns is a legendary figure and a
great fit for this year's Rose Parade
theme, 'Find Your Adventure,'" Matthiessen
said. "We're so honored to have someone
like Ken, who has devoted his life to
telling the story of America, lead the
Rose Parade -- America's New Year
Celebration® -- that provides hope and
joy to millions of people around the
world."
••••
The "Find Your Adventure" theme for the
2016 Rose Parade is a result of a unique
partnership between the Pasadena
Tournament of Roses and the U.S. National
Park Service, which will celebrate its
centennial in 2016. Among Burns's 2009
film, The National Parks: America's Best
Idea focused on the ideas and individuals
that helped propel the parks and the
National Park Service into existence. The
series was filmed over the course of more
than six years at some of the country's
most spectacular locales, from Acadia to
Yosemite, Yellowstone to the Grand Canyon
and the Everglades of Florida to the Gates
of the Arctic in Alaska. The National
Parks: America's Best Idea won Emmy®
Awards for "Outstanding Nonfiction Series"
and "Outstanding Writing for Nonfiction
Programming," as well as the 2010 CINE
Golden Eagle Award.
••••
"The Rose Parade is an annual tradition
woven into the fabric of America, so it's
such an honor to be chosen as the Grand
Marshal," said Burns. "I've never been to
the Parade in person, so this will be a
new adventure for me. I'm looking forward
to sharing the experience with my family
and all the fans of the Rose Parade who
will be watching on New Year's Day."
••••
Burns quickly became known for his style
of using archival footage and photographs
in documentary films, characterized by
slowly zooming in and panning to subjects
of interest -- deemed "The Ken Burns
Effect." Since the Academy Award nominated
Brooklyn Bridge in 1981, Burns has gone on
to direct and produce some of the most
acclaimed historical documentaries ever
made, including The Civil War; Baseball;
Jazz; Statue of Liberty; Huey Long; Lewis
and Clark: The Journey of the Corps of
Discovery; Frank Lloyd Wright; Mark Twain;
Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall
of Jack Johnson; The War; The Roosevelts:
An Intimate History; which have all aired
on PBS. For these accomplishments and
more, the Academy of Television Arts &
Sciences honored Burns with a Lifetime
Achievement Award at the News &
Documentary Emmy® Awards in September
2008. Future projects that Burns has in
the works include films on Jackie
Robinson, the Vietnam War, the history of
country music, Ernest Hemingway and the
history of stand-up comedy.
••••
Burn's next film, Jackie Robinson, made
with his daughter Sarah Burns and her
husband David McMahon, will air on PBS on
April 11 and 12, 2016.
••••
Burns was born in Brooklyn, New York, in
1953. He graduated from Hampshire College
in Amherst, Massachusetts, in 1975 and
went on to be one of the co-founders of
Florentine Films.

CES 2015: Wearables Everywhere. Intel
demos button size wearable
computer
••••
 Intel
CEO Brian Krzanich showed off a minuscule
computer, dubbed Curie, during a keynote
speech at the International Consumer
Electronics Show in Las Vegas. He pulled a
button off his blazer, played hands-free
pingpong with a drone and chatted with
someone through a robot during the keynote
presentation that pitched the computer
chip maker as a solution for nearly every
buzzed-about technology of the moment.
••••
The button stick let him unveil Curie, a
new computing module that's the size of
the button. It's tiny size emphasizes it
can power a raft of new wearable
technology such as rings and bracelets.
Curie will become available to wearable
makers this year.
••••
Curie appeared much smaller than a
postage-stamp-size computer, called
Edison, that Krzanich showed off at last
year's CES, and is a sign that hardware
makers are eager to build wearable devices
of all kinds. It also points to the
unwelcome size of many existing smart
watches and smart glasses.
••••
The world's largest chip maker evidently
sees wearables as one of the most
important categories in consumer
electronics. It's a belief held by a lot
of other companies at CES, where gadgets
meant to be worn on the body or clipped to
clothing were all over the show floor this
year.
••••
Intel's new device will include a
Bluetooth low-energy radio, motion
sensors, and components designed to
rapidly and precisely differentiate
between different types of physical
activity. Krzanich said Curie will run
"for extended periods of time" on a
coin-size battery and would be available
in the second half of the year.
••••
In playing with multi-copter drones from
Ascending Technologies, Krzanich showed
how Intel's depth-sensing camera
technology called RealSense allows drones
to fly themselves without colliding into
objects. Stick one in between two people
and it will "bounce" back and forth
between them.
••••
RealSense cameras can also be attached to
robots that have video-chatting screens,
meaning you could walk down the hall and
the robot would tag along to keep a
conversation going. A Food Network app
coming in the spring that uses RealSense
will let chefs flick through a recipe by
swiping their hand in the air or saying
voice commands. Attached to a special
jacket, RealSense can give
visually-impaired people a sense of
space.
••••
Krzanich also showed how Intel technology
plays a role in 3-D printers from HP and
in security systems for smart homes from
ADT. Several Marriott hotels will have
wireless charging stations in the coming
months powered by Intel technology,
Krzanich said.

PASADENA, Calif.
--
Pasadena Celebrates New Year with Rose
Parade
By Gary Sunkin
••••
Known as the most favorite parade
to kick off the New Year for thousands of
spectators who lined the 5 1/2
mile
parade route through Pasadena. With
temperatures dipping into the 30s crowed
braved the chill for the 126th Rose
Parade, and embraced an occasional beam of
sunshine as some were bundled up in
blankets and scarfs in grandstand seats
and choice spots on sidewalks along the
route. The 2015 theme chowcased those who
"elevate the human spirit by who they are,
what they have done and what they continue
to do.
••••
Every year I revel in the
excitement, exuberance and optimism in the
air, and again this year's themed
"Inspiring Stories", didn't find me
disappointed.
••••
"Inspiring Stories" was the theme of
the 126th Rose Parade presented by
Honda.
••••
The very nature of this theme allows us to
reflect on and appreciate many people
around us who elevate the human spirit by
who they are, what they have done, and
what they continue to do. It pays tribute
to those who have loved unconditionally,
persevered courageously, endured patiently
and accomplished much on behalf of
others.
••••
They may be "heroes" or "stars" to some,
but they don't seek such titles. They may
be kind, resilient, free-spirited or
intensely focused, and though different
from one another, they are all inspiring
because they have overcome obstacles,
achieved the unthinkable, given
immeasurably or sacrificed unselfishly.
Whether for justice, for charity, or for
any other good, they do so humbly and with
resolve. It is the story of their journey
that enriches our lives regardless of the
fulfillment of the purpose.
••••
The people we select to be a part of our
year-long preparation for America's New
Year Celebration &endash; whether it is
part of the Rose Parade or the Rose Bowl
Game -- will share their stories in an
effort to inspire others.
• GRAND MARSHAL OF THE 2015 ROSE
PARADE
Olympian and World War II prisoner of
war, Louis Zamperini, a true American hero
who survived excessive hardships will be
the Grand Marshal for the 2015 Rose
Parade, themed "Inspiring Stories."
Despite Mr. Zamperini's passing, the
Tournament of Roses is dedicated to
honoring him as the Grand Marshal of the
2015 Rose Parade.
••••
Zamperini wrote his personal history in
the book "Devil at My Heels" and his life
story was documented in the New York Times
best-selling book, "Unbroken," written by
Pulitzer Prize winning author, Laura
Hillenbrand. In December 2014, Universal
Pictures will release the movie,
"Unbroken," a feature adaptation of the
book. Born in 1917 to Italian immigrants,
Zamperini moved to Torrance, California in
1919 and became a world-class runner by
the end of high school. Qualifying to run
in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, he was
America's top finisher in the 5000 meter
run, finishing the final lap in 56 seconds
and causing Adolf Hitler to request a
personal meeting with the track star.
••••
During World War II, Zamperini retired
from running and joined the U.S. Armed
Forces as a bombardier in the South
Pacific. While on a reconnaissance
mission, Zamperini's aircraft crashed into
the Pacific Ocean. He and a crewmate
survived for 47 days in shark-infested
waters eventually drifting into a
Japanese-controlled region where he was
held and tortured for another two years.
He survived the brutality of the war and
came back to Southern California where he
was treated like a hero and celebrated for
his longevity. Zamperini married, had a
family and started on a quest of
forgiveness as an inspirational speaker --
meeting with and forgiving the Japanese
military guards who tortured him.
••••
Zamperini lectured around the world on how
to deal with stress, the meaning of
Olympic spirit and the freedom he found
through a personal relationship with
God.
••••
Louis Zamperini joined the impressive
ranks of those who have fulfilled this
role before.

THE
ROSE BOWL GAME, THE GRANDDADDY OF THEM
ALL-
known
as the oldest of bowls, the Rose Bowl Game
kicked off a myriad college football
legacies in 1902. Since then, the game has
been home to 17 Heisman Trophy winners,
produced 29 national champions, featured
203 consensus All-Americans and honored
110 college football legends by inducting
them into the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame.
••••
The first Tournament of Roses football
game, which was the first post-season
football game in the nation, was staged at
Tournament Park on January 1, 1902. The
game matched the West Coast's Stanford
against Midwestern Michigan. (The teams
would later become members of today's
Pac-12 and Big Ten conferences,
respectively.) Michigan routed Stanford,
49-0, prompting the football contest to be
replaced with Roman-style chariot races
inspired by the literary classic Ben-Hur.
Football was permanently reinstated as
part of the Tournament's traditions in
1916.
••••
The exclusive agreement among the
Tournament of Roses Association, the Big
Ten Conference and the Pac-12 Conference
was born in 1946, and the first game
played under the agreement took place on
January 1, 1947. The pact is the oldest
intercollegiate postseason bowl agreement
between two major conferences in the
United States.
••••
This collegiate classic has been the
occasion of many firsts. The Rose Bowl
Game was the occasion of first local radio
broadcast of an East-West bowl game in
1926, the first transcontinental radio
broadcast of a sporting event in 1927, the
first local telecast of a college football
game in 1948, the first national telecast
of a college football game in 1952 and the
first coast-to-coast color telecast of a
collegiate football game in 1962.
••••The
101st Rose Bowl Game will be a College
Football Playoff semifinal game which will
be held on January 1, 2015 at the Rose
Bowl Stadium. This game will match Florida
State vs. Oregon as selected by the

"Mongolia's Got
Talent"
quipped Simon Cowell recently
at his keynote accepting the honors of
Mipcom's Personality of the Year award,
dressed with his trademark white shirt and
interviewed by Pierce Morgan.
• He plans to bring 'X Factor'
back to America.
••••
"I believe that I and Fox gave up
too early on 'X Factor,'" said Cowell of
the show that was canceled after three
seasons. "I do know because I'm the music
business that 'X Factor' is the best music
format in the world and it only takes one
artist, a Susan Boyle, or a One Direction
for the whole thing to turns on its head.
So I'll be the one to bring 'X Factor'
back to America."
•
Expectation set too high-
as he was reflecting on the
underwhelming performance of "X Factor" in
the States, "I think the first year we
made a really good series but I said it
would get 20 million people and we got 12
million. If I hadn't opened my big mouth
it would have been perceived as a hit. I
thought we could achieve in one year what
we achieved in 10 years in the U.K."
••••Cowell
also said the fact the U.S. launch of 'The
Voice" -- which also included the
mentorship element -- right before "X
Factor" was also a setback.
•
His future endeavors include
expansion
into feature films-
kicking off with an animated
feature based on the Betty Boop franchise,
among two other animated projects.
••••"We're
moving slowly (in film) and with the same
thinking that applies to what we do with
TV. You have to find the best in their
field," said Cowell. "So when we decided
to go into animation we partnered up with
Animal Logic Entertainment because
they had done the animation on "The Lego
Movie." They weren't too big but they were
the best in the business so we created a
partnership with them."
••••Added
Cowell, "We'll look at other vehicles
basically designed to be successful as
films but also designed to sell music --
there are so many of these shows now with
so many artists on that I look at
something like 'High
School Musical' and think maybe that's the
route to go now."
• Looking back on
his early days in the biz-
"I consider myself very lucky because
I was here in Cannes at Midem, the music
equivalent to Mipcom 30 years ago, when I
was trying to run a company and I
literally didn't sell anything during the
week. I went back home pretty depressed so
the fact that I'm here today talking about
some of the things I've achieved, I feel
incredibly happy. It is work but it's also
passion."

• Live From The Cable Show:
FCC Chairman Thomas
Wheeler.
"Let me be clear. If someone acts to
divide the Internet between 'haves' and
'have-nots,' we will use every power at
our disposal to stop it," Wheeler said.
"As chairman of the FCC, I do not intend
to allow innovation to be strangled by the
manipultion of the most important network
of our time, the Internet."
••••
The Cable Show, the industry's
2014 annual gathering in Los Angeles had
no shortage of news to pick apart given
Comcast's 45 billion deal to buy
Time Warner Cable as well as the deal
Comcast cut with Charter
Communications.
••••
But what was actually on the minds
of many were the companies that weren't at
the show at all: Netflix, Hulu,
Amazon.com, Google, Yahoo, AT&T,
Verizon, Dish and DirecTV -- essentially
every company that isn't strictly speaking
a cable company.
••••
However, the fact that Netflix was
nowhere to be found at the show, either at
the session or on the exhibition floor,
was telling.
•••••The
National Cable and Telecommunications
Association, which runs the Cable Show,
says companies such as Netflix have
appeared at the conference in the past to
participate on panels, but they've never
been a big presence.
••••
Many of the cable networks, such as
Turner (which owns CNN and TNT), Fox News,
Discovery Communications and AMC were
there partly to show off their
programming, but mostly to take meetings
with the cable industry. Privately, some
of them have said the conference would be
more useful if the satellite and telephone
companies were also here.
••••
If the Comcast merger is approved
by regulators, Time Warner Cable won't
exist next year.

 ••••In
an era that has seen the downsizing or
demise of most household-name tradeshows,
Digital Hollywood is flourishing as a sort
of live-content aggregator attracting
various industry stalwarts to hold private
meetings all at the same venue, then
network together at conference tracks,
keynote roundtables and after-hours
parties.
••••
Victor Harwood who is presiding over
several annual trade shows dealing with
entertainment, media, advertising and
technology events, besides Digital
Hollywood, said back in 2007, "The idea of
putting together a tradeshow by hassling
people to buy booth space is old -- anyone
who did that is not in business
anymore."
••••
His upcoming Spring confab at the Ritz
Carlton Hotel, in Marina Del Rey, CA, made
up of separate multi-track but co-located
events is still the only conference that
brings together creatives, agents,
distributors, technologists, financiers,
lawyers and media -- legally, it's very
hard for a lot of these people to be in
the same room, unless there's a common
purpose and a common theme. More minds
have been changed -- at Digital Hollywood

•The
Areo Debate "To Be or Not to Be,"
provided food for a heated discussion at
the Digital Hollywood Spring conference
May 7, 2014. Moderated by James M. Burger,
Partner, Thompson Coburn, Neil W. Netanel,
Professor of Law, UCLA Law School; John C.
Ulin Partner, Arnold and Porter midway
through the debate were interreupted by
questions of the audience which became
increasingly agitated. It did make for a
lively debate though considering the fact
that most panelists usually take questions
only at the end of a panel discussion.
••••
A ruling to
be followed closely by advocates of net
neutrality, and broadcasters, the
US Supreme Court justices
questioned the legality of Areo as they
weighed whether the starup violates
copyright law by recording over-the-air
programming from an off-site antenna and
delivering it to customers via the
internet. Areo aims to upend the broadcast
industry's decades-old business model by
letting customers in 11 cities watch live
and recorded shows for as little as $8 a
month.
••••
Barry Diller, Chairman and Senior
Executive of media company,
IAC/InterActiveCorp, said broadcasters are
seeking to stifle innovation for their own
financial gain by suing to shut down Aereo
Inc., the streaming-video company he's
backing. "I am really tired of being
accused of stealing anyone else's
programming when we are not," Diller said.
"It's kind of obnoxious to take away
programming they have promised the public
they could receive directly simply because
they want to take away every dollar from
consumers.
••••Aereo's
faceoff at the nation's highest court
against broadcasters including 21st
Century Fox Inc., and CBS Corp, stemmed
from its bid to forge a technological
route around the television companies'
copyrights. It was Diller, co-creator of
Fox's broadcast network, who pushed Aereo
beyond its original plan to offer services
only in parts of New York, Aereo CEO Chet
Kanojia stated.
•••The
Supreme Court arguments didn't indicate a
like outcome, as justices, including
Stephen Breyer repeatedly questioned
whether ruling against Aereo would broadly
imperil cloud-computing technologies that
let consumers remotely store content such
as video and access it through the
Web.
••••
U.S. copyright law gives owners the
exclusive right to perform their works
"publicly." If Areo is deemed to be a
public rather than private performance,
the ruling may affect cloud storage
offerings from companies like Google Inc.,
Dropbox Inc., Apple, Amazon.com Inc. and
Box Inc.
••••
"If you stop Aereo, you stop
technology," Diller said.

FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler to address 2014
NAB
SHOW
WASHINGTON,
D.C. -- Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) Chairman Tom Wheeler will provide
the "FCC Keynote" at the 2014 NAB Show in
Las Vegas, the National Association of
Broadcasters (NAB) announced today. The
address, which will be held Tuesday, April
8, 9:00-10:00 a.m., is expected to provide
insight into the Chairman's views on
broadcasting and what his expectations are
on the regulatory front in the coming
years.
••••
"Broadcasting has a
lot at stake when it comes to actions
taken by the FCC," said NAB President and
CEO Gordon Smith. "We look forward to
hearing from Chairman Wheeler about his
views on spectrum auctions, ownership
regulation and any number of issues
shaping our industry."
••••
Tom Wheeler became
the 31st Chairman of the Federal
Communications Commission on November 4,
2013. He was appointed by President Barack
Obama and unanimously confirmed by the
United States Senate.
••••
For over three
decades, Wheeler has been involved with
new telecommunications networks and
services, experiencing the revolution in
telecommunications as a policy expert, an
advocate, and a businessman. As an
entrepreneur, he started or helped start
multiple companies offering innovative
cable, wireless and video communications
services. He is the only person to be
selected to both the Cable Television Hall
of Fame and The Wireless Hall of Fame, a
fact that caused President Obama to
nickname Wheeler "The Bo Jackson of
Telecom."
••••
Prior to joining
the FCC, Wheeler was Managing Director at
Core Capital Partners, a venture capital
firm investing in early stage Internet
Protocol (IP)-based companies. He served
as President and CEO of Shiloh Group, LLC,
a strategy development and private
investment company specializing in
telecommunications services and co-founded
SmartBrief, the internet's largest
electronic information service for
vertical markets. From 1976 to 1984,
Wheeler was associated with the National
Cable Television Association (NCTA), where
he was President and CEO from 1979 to
1984. Following NCTA, Wheeler was CEO of
several high tech companies, including the
first company to offer high speed delivery
of data to home computers and the first
digital video satellite service. From 1992
to 2004, Wheeler served as president and
CEO of the Cellular Telecommunications
& Internet Association (CTIA).

Tournament of Roses Parade Celebrates
125th Anniversary, - Jan 1.
2014
- By Gary Sunkin
PASADENA, Calif. --
There might not have been
a better way to open 2014 than with Vin
Scully, the legendary Dodgers broadcaster
as the Grand Marshal of the Rose Parade in
Pasadena, who performed the ceremonial
coin toss on the field before the Rose
Bowl between Michigan State and
Stanford.
••••It
was not Scully's first involvement with
the Rose Parade. A mere 48 years ago, he
co-hosted with Elizabeth Montgomery.
••••Most
of the week leading up to the Rose Bowl
has involved several pre-parade events and
luncheons, with several media members
happy to meet Scully.
•
Known as the most favorite parade to kick
off the New Year for thousands of
spectators who lined the 5 1/2 mile
parade route through Pasadena. Every year
I revel in the excitement, exuberance and
optimism in the air, and again this year's
themed "Dreams come True" Rose Parade,
didn't find me disappointed.
•••
It
has come a long way since its early days.
The Rose Parade's elaborate floats now
feature high-tech computerized animation
and exotic natural materials from around
the world. Although a few floats are still
built exclusively by volunteers from their
sponsoring communities, most are built by
professional float building companies and
take nearly a year to construct. The
year-long effort pays off on New Year's
morning, when millions of viewers around
the world enjoy the Rose Parade.
••••The
first Rose Queen was crowned in 1905, and
every year since 1929, Rose Queens and
Rose Princesses have been a part of the
Tournament of Roses.
••••
Every
Parade needs a Grand Marshal, and the Rose
Parade has had some of the world's most
distinguished individuals serving in that
honored position. Past Grand Marshals have
included actors, astronauts, writers,
artists, athletes and political
figures.
••••
Early
Grand Marshals were local heroes, many of
them Tournament organizers. The first
Grand Marshal from outside Pasadena was
San Francisco Mayor James Rolph in 1930,
and as the Tournament grew, so did the
stature of its Grand Marshals. Mary
Pickford, Earl Warren, Dwight D.
Eisenhower, Gregory Peck, Bob Hope, Erma
Bombeck, Henry "Hank" Aaron, the Apollo 12
astronauts, John Wayne, Frank Sinatra,
Kate Smith, Gerald Ford, Lee Iaccoca,
James Stewart, Pele and Angela Lansbury
are just a few of the distinguished
individuals who have held the honored
position. 1966 Grand Marshal Walt Disney
rode in the Parade with Mickey Mouse, and
Edgar Bergen brought Charlie McCarthy
along in 1940. Shirley Temple, who was a
10-year old movie star when she led the
50th Rose Parade returned as diplomat
Shirley Temple Black to serve as Grand
Marshal of the Tournament's Centennial
celebration in 1989.

Celebrated
Singers Clayton, Fischer, Hill and
Love
to sing National Anthem at historic 120th
ROSE BOWL
GAME
Merry Clayton,
Lisa Fischer, Judith Hill and Darlene Love
will kick off the pre-game festivities at
the 100th Rose Bowl Game presented by
VIZIO with a special performance of the
Star-Spangled Banner on January 1, 2014,
at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena.
••••Clayton,
Fischer, Hill and Love star in the
critically-acclaimed 2013 RADiUS film, "20
Feet From Stardom" by award-winning
director Morgan Neville, which spotlights
the untold stories of backup singers
behind some of the greatest musical
legends of the 21st century such as Bruce
Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Mick Jagger
and Sting. On Tuesday, December 3, the
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences announced that 20 Feet From
Stardom made the Academy Awards shortlist
in the Documentary Feature category.
••••Clayton
lent her voice to a number of major
performing artists during the 1960s with
her most notable performance being a duet
with Mick Jagger on the Rolling Stones'
song, "Gimme Shelter." She began her
career on Bobby Darin's "Who Can I Count
On," which led to legendary Lou Adler
signing her in 1970 and her debut solo
album, "Gimme Shelter." As an actress,
Clayton appeared in the films Blame it on
the Night and Maid to Order. Currently,
she is putting the finishing touches on
her long-anticipated new CD.
••••
Fischer rose to
fame in 1991 with her debut album, So
Intense, which produced the Grammy
Award&endash;winning hit single, "How Can
I Ease the Pain." Prior to her solo
career, she began as a backup singer for a
number of famous artists, including Luther
Vandross for 22 years and Tina Turner on
her Twenty Four Seven Tour, the
top-grossing worldwide tour of 2000.
Fischer has also toured with the Rolling
Stones since 1989. In 2013, she joined the
rock band Nine Inch Nails, as a backing
vocalist for their Tension 2013 tour.
••••
Hill, Sony Music
recording artist, has been praised by
Rolling Stone for her "stellar powerhouse
vocals." In addition to penning and
performing her own material, Hill backed
artists such as Stevie Wonder, Elton John
and the late Michael Jackson. She was also
a contestant on season four of The Voice.
She contributed backing vocals to three
tracks on Josh Groban's latest chart
topping album, All That Echoes, and opened
for Groban on his Fall 2013 In The Round
arena tour. Judith is currently in the
studio working on her debut.
••••
Since the early
sixties, Love has done it all - from major
motion pictures like the highly successful
Lethal Weapon series to Broadway hits like
Hairspray and Grease and even appearing in
numerous television shows. Her background
vocals for The Blossoms, The Crystals, The
Righteous Brothers, Dionne Warwick, Marvin
Gaye and Elvis Presley, set the stage for
her emergence as a star in her own right.
In 2011, Love recieved the industry's
highest award when she was inducted in the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
••••
This will mark the
only known time in the game's history that
the national anthem will be performed by
an artist rather than a Rose Bowl Game
participating team band.
••••
In continuing with
tradition, Vin Scully, an icon in American
sports history and "the voice of the Los
Angeles Dodgers" for 64 years, will toss
the coin at the start of the 100th Rose
Bowl Game as the Grand Marshal for the
125th Tournament of Roses Parade, themed
"Dreams Come True."
••••
Pre-game
festivities begin at 1:30 p.m. PT. The
game will feature the Michigan State
Spartans, champions of the Big Ten
Conference, versus the Stanford Cardinal,
champions of the Pac-12 Conference.

THE BEST MOVIES OF THE SUMMER AT MUNICH
FILMFEST
The 31ST
INTERNATIONAL FILMFEST MÜNCHEN (June
28 - July 6) is presenting 174 films from
48 countries. Films by and starring women
make up a significant part of this year's
program.
••••
Germany's biggest summer film festival
will be showing the best new films from
around the world. They are all German
premieres. There are also two specials,
one on outstanding TV series - The New
Epics - and another entitled Films and
Games. The Homage section is showing
classic movies with British actor Sir
Michael Caine, the recipient of Filmfest
München's CineMerit Award this year.
Retrospectives will be honoring Italian
director Paolo Sorrentino and Chilean
filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky. Both will
be on hand at the festival to present
their latest films. 32 films will be
having their world premieres at FILMFEST
MÜNCHEN - 13 their European
premieres.
••••
"2013 will be a festival in which women
play an unusually strong role", said Diana
Iljine, Festival Director of FILMFEST
MÜNCHEN. "Many of this year's films
focus on courageous women. The many great
actress and directors are one of this
year's highlights."
••••
Altogether there are 37 female directors
at this year's Filmfest. The opening night
film Exit Marrakech (June 28) is by Oscar
winner Caroline Link (Nowhere in Africa)
and is a world premiere. Sandra
Nettelbeck's film Mr. Morgan's Last Love
starring Michael Caine and Clémence
Poésy is a European premiere. Saudi
Arabian filmmaker Haifaa al-Mansour is
presenting Wadjda, the first Saudi Arabian
film to be directed by a woman. Acclaimed
French film and stage director Ariane
Mnouchkine will be in Munich for the world
premiere of her latest film Les
Naufragés Du Fol Espoir.
••••There
are the new films by award winning Indian
director Mira Nair, the filmmakers
Agnès Jaoui and Marion Vernoux from
France as well as Lynn Shelton and Lise
Raven from the USA. There are also many
young, emerging directors, among them
Sophie Fiennes from the UK, Eliza Hittman
from the USA, Sarah Polley from Canada,
Marcela Said from Chile, and Alice
Winocour from France. Fatima Geza
Abdollahyan, Nana Neul, Lola Randl and
Frauke Finsterwalder are presenting world
premieres from Germany.
••••
The many great actresses on the screen
this year include the legendary Fanny
Ardant, Nathalie Baye and Claudia
Cardinale. There are also new movies with
Winona Ryder, Juliane Moore, Marion
Cotillard, Emmanuelle Devos, Kate Hudson,
Bérenice Bejo and young stars such
as Léa Seydoux, Soko, Brit Marling
and Rooney Mara. The German actresses
include Christiane Paul, Veronica Ferres,
Julia Koschitz, Barbara Auer, Katja
Riemann, Hannelore Hoger and Claudia
Michelsen.
••••Women
who make it despite all odds are big topic
at this year's festival. Like the
supermarket cashiers who discover women's
wrestling in Les Reines du Ring. In
Everyday, the new film by British director
Michael Winterbottom, the wife of a prison
convict manages to master the trials and
tribulations of raising 4 children by
herself. The Immigrant deals with a Polish
woman who emmigrates to the US in the
1920s. In Le Noir (Te) Vous Va Si Bien the
daughter of Muslim immigrants to France
bucks her father's traditional thinking.
The stronger sex also shines in films
about romance.
••••
In Les Beaux Jours, a retired dentist
(Fanny Ardant) is attracted to the
computer teacher in her senior citizen
club. In Mr. Morgan's Last Love a young,
impulsive woman (Clémence
Poésy) rekindles the love of life
in a melancholy American widower and
reminds him of the importance of
friendship. The German Love Steaks focuses
on a young woman who is a cook at a
wellness hotel and becomes passionately
involved with the shy new masseur there.
In the Chinese romantic comedy The Love
Songs of Tiedan, a young man is infatuated
with the three daughters of a former
neighbor he was in love with as a child.
In the French drama La Vie D'Adèle,
winner of this year's Golden Palm, a young
girl finds strength in a passionate love
affair with another young woman.
••••
There are also many films from the Near
and Middle East about courageous women in
different phases of their lives who break
out of the traditional moulds they have
been forced into and who want to determine
what they want out of life. In Wadjda, the
title character, a young girl in Saudi
Arabia, is not going to let anyone rob her
of her dream of having a bicycle. In the
Russian film The Empty Home a fearless
girl sets out from Kirgizstan in search of
a better life. And in THE PATIENCE STONE,
an Afghani wife confronts her comatose
husband with what is going on behind her
veil and in her mind about their
marriage.
Julie Christie as well as directors
Michael Haneke, Barry Levinson and Milos
Forman.

Steven Spielberg heads jury at Cannes Film
Festival
CANNES, May 15, 2013 -- Once a
year, "the entire world comes together at
Cannes."
 Steven
Spielberg introducing this year's
nine-person Cannes Film Festival jury at
the opening press conference said, "We're
always sitting in personal private
judgment of the films we see."
•••
Therefore it was time, to take it public
and accept the film festival's offer to
serve as the main competition jury
president, an offer made several times in
the past, though his work schedule never
permitted it, he said.
•••
Also serving as jurors are actors Nicole
Kidman, Christoph Waltz, Daniel Auteuil,
Vidaya Balan and directors Cristian
Mungiu, Naomi Kawasi, Lynn Ramsey and
twice Academy Award Winner Ang Lee. The
jury selects the winners for acting,
screenplay, direction and, honored with
the Palme d'Or, the award given the film
of the year. Last year's Palme winner was
Michael Haneke's "Amour."
•••
Spielberg noted that it's apples and
oranges to assess movies designed to get
"as many people into the theaters as
possible" by the same criteria as films
compelled by more adventurous impulses.
"Honesty" and "courage": those will be the
key attributes in the competition titles
as viewed by Spielberg's fellow juror,
director Cristian Mungiu, who won the
Palme in 2007, for "4 Months, 3 Weeks and
2 Days."
•••
Spielberg last came to the Croisette in
2008 for the world premier of "Indiana
Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal
Skull." Released to generally
positive reviews, it it was also a
financial success, grossing over $786
million worldwide.
///
CANNES, France-- Palm
D'Or goes to the
French
The
hometown favorite won big time at the
Festival de Cannes as France's Blue Is
the Warmest Color walked off with the
Palme d'Or. Jury president Steven
Spielberg announced in a highly unusual
step, that the prize was given not only to
director Abdellatif Kechiche, as
considered traditional, but to co-stars
Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa
Seydoux as well. Both actresses were in
tears by the time they reached the
stage.
••••
The sexually explicit story of a young
woman discovering desire and herself, Blue
was the great favorite of French critics
but divided English speakers, who called
it everything from voyeuristic to a
three-hour Sundance movie in French.
••••
The film, whose French title is
La Vie d'Adèle, will be
distributed in the US by IFC's Sundance
Selects.
••••
Kechiche's movie displays that same degree
of intimacy with his actresses in the
scenes when they have their clothes on.
For the younger, fragile teen at the
center of the plot -- also named
Adéle -- blue-haired art student
Emma (Seydoux) provides a gateway to
experiences far beyond the limitations of
her conservative social circle. Some of
the tender moments make the explicit
scenes especially noteworthy:
••••
Kechiche's film plays to the
possibilities of uncensored storytelling
that ignores traditional boundaries
without playing for shock value. It's a
tender romance and undoubtedly one of the
best movies about nascent adulthood in
recent years.
Not Playing it
Safe
Spielberg himself makes no
apologies about directing movies aimed at
the largest audiences possible, but as a
unit, the Cannes jurors did a fine job
highlighting the merits of not playing it
safe. This was evident not only in the
selection of the winners but the snubs: --
Steven Soderbergh's Liberace biopic
"Behind the Candelabra" won plenty of
accolades for Michael Douglas'
performance, but ultimately amounted to a
giddy by-the-numbers treatment of the
show-biz icon -- however, a skillfully
made one.

Springtime in
Cannes
By Josie Cory
A h h h . . . Spring in Cannes…where
mild breezes blow as the warm
Mediterranean sun smiles over this
beautiful spot on the Cote d'Azur. There
you can feel a timeless sensuality,
assuaging a nostalgia for the
Mediterranean which since as far back as
the 16th century has been a constant theme
in many a Northern European's life.
• •
"Now give us lands where the olives
grow," Cried the North to the South,
"Where the sun with a golden mouth can
blow blue bubbles of grapes down the
vineyard row!" Cried the North to the
South. (to borrow a phrase from the
English writer Elizabeth Barret
Browning).
•
•"Cannes," wrote Charles
Lentheric, the indispensable and erudite
historian of maritime Provence, in 1880,
"is a town where you feel no need to
work," and "where the inhabitants were not
interested in the world that lay beyond
their shady gardens, or the sheltered
balconies of their hotels."
• •
Now the world has come to Cannes,
chosen it to be their Mediterranean queen
for its annual events, and when you stroll
along the Croisette on some warm April day
you will hardly share Mr. Lenteric's
sentiments. Voila! Cannes! It has emerged
truly cosmopolitan.

115- 124th Rose
Parade
- Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013,
Pasadena
By
Gary Sunkin
••••
Known as the most
favorite parade to kick off the New Year
for thousands of spectators who lined the
5 1/2 mile parade route through Pasadena.
With temperatures dipped into the low 40s
everyone embraced an occasional beam of
sunshine as some were bundled up in
blankets and scarfs in grandstand seats
and choice spots on sidewalks along the
route.
••••
Every year I revel
in the excitement, exuberance and optimism
in the air, and again this year's themed
"Oh the Places You'll Go!! Rose Parade,
didn't find me
disappointed.
••••
The "A Healing
Place" float honored nursing professionals
around the world, and the 2013's president
of the Sally Bixby, the first nurse and
second woman to lead the pageant founded
in 1890 to enhance Southern California's
image as a perceived paradise of sunshine
and flowers.
••••
However, maybe the
most dramatic moment was when Army Sgt.
1st Class, Eric Pazz, bounded off the
platform in combat boots and fatigues with
his surprised little son dashing from the
sidewalk into his father's arms, believed
by his family to be still in Afghanistan.
The crowd leaped into a standing ovation
and moments later he presented his wife
with a rose and the family boarded the
float "Canines with Courage," honoring
military dogs.
••••
Riding in a horse
drawn carriage adorned with roses and
fern, was tournament's Grand Marshall,
Jane Goodall, internationally renowned
primatolologist known for her life's
commitment in Africa and for peace around
the globe. 2013 will be the
53rd anniversary of her field study
of the Gombe chimpanzees.
••••
Escorting the
42-flower-bedecked floats were 21
silver-studded equestrian units prancing
to the beat of of the nation's top
marching bands. There were many crowd
pleasers among breathtaking floats and the
San Jose Valley Christian/Beijing, China
No. 57 School "East-West Fusion Band," was
the first internationally combined high
school band in Rose Parade history.
••••
"We are very
thoughtful about making this parade a
positive, caring and uplifting way to
start the new year," Rose Parade president
Sally Bixby said during an earlier
interview.
••••
All in all, as
always, it was a spectacular parade.
///
•••
December 2012 - The
124th Rose Parade presented by
Honda themed "Oh, the Places You'll
Go!" will take place on Tuesday, January
1, 2013, featuring spirited marching bands
from throughout the nation, majestic
floral floats, and high-stepping
equestrian units.
••••
The 124th Rose
Parade (which is often referred to as
the "Rose Bowl Parade") will be
broadcast on ABC, Hallmark Channel, HGTV,
KTLA (Tribune), NBC, RFD-TV and Univision.
The Parade is also seen in more than 220
international territories and
countries.

The Grand Marshal
of the 124th Tournament of Roses, Dr. Jane
Goodall On New Year's Day, will ride in
the 124th Rose
Parade® presented by Honda and
themed "Oh, the Places You'll
Go!." She will then toss the coin
before the 99th Rose Bowl Game®
presented by VIZIO. Dr. Goodall has
been an inspiration to the Pasadena
Tournament of Roses as the organization
continues to seek ways to make the Rose
Parade and Rose Bowl Game more sustainable
by finding ways to evolve waste-management
practices and inspire that change in those
who participate in Tournament of Roses
events.
••••
"We selected our
theme, 'Oh, the Places You'll
Go!' with Dr. Goodall in mind as
Grand Marshal," said Tournament of Roses
President Sally Bixby. "The theme can
be interpreted as a celebration of
accomplishment, discovery and travel of
course, but equally valid is its implicit
call to action. We think Dr.
Goodall's life story is a testament to the
sense of adventure and openness to
possibility that this phrase suggests:
As a young woman, she defied
convention to follow her dreams, and she
has committed herself to a life of global
citizenship, inspiring children and adults
alike along the way. 2013 will be
the 53rd anniversary of her field
study of the Gombe chimpanzees. I
can think of no one whose life has better
exemplified our theme and message than Dr.
Jane Goodall. Dr. Goodall is now an
international icon, but it is her passion
for discovery and how she has used her
celebrity for the betterment of the world
that has drawn us to her."

Digital Hollywood is flourishing as a sort
of live-content aggregator attracting
various industry stalwarts to hold private
meetings all at the same venue, then
network together at conference tracks,
keynote roundtables and after-hours
parties.
••••
Victor Harwood who is presiding over
several annual trade shows dealing with
entertainment, media, advertising and
technology events, besides Digital
Hollywood, said back in 2007, "The idea of
putting together a tradeshow by hassling
people to buy booth space is old -- anyone
who did that is not in business
anymore."
••••
His upcoming Fall confab at the Ritz
Carlton Hotel, in Marina Del Rey, CA, made
up of separate multi-track but co-located
events is still the only conference that
brings together creatives, agents,
distributors, technologists, financiers,
lawyers and media -- legally, it's very
hard for a lot of these people to be in
the same room, unless there's a common
purpose and a common theme. More minds
have been changed -- enlightened, or made
aware of opportunities and dangers -- at
Digital Hollywood than at any other
conference."

Le Festival De Cannes, France, May 16-27 -
Celebrates its 65th Edition and Joins
Ranks with Sean
Penn.
By Josie
Cory
Ever since
its creation, the Festival de Cannes has
remained faithful to its founding purpose:
to draw attention to and raise the profile
of films with the aim of contributing
towards the development of cinema,
boosting the film industry worldwide and
celebrating cinema at an international
level.
•••
Thierry
Frémaux , chief of the Cannes Film
Festival as well as managing director of
the Institut Lumière de Lyon,
recently stated, "Cannes belongs to
each and every one of us who, year after
year, from wherever we are and in our own
individual way, contributes towards
creating it step by step. It is only by
constantly analyzing the Festival,
adapting its function and encouraging
debate about it that we will continue to
make it the very best it can be. Cannes
must be open to new ideas, while remaining
faithful to its past, of course. Diversity
can only enrich it. That´s what makes
the Festival de Cannes our
festival."
•••This
year, the Festival de Cannes welcomes
Haiti: Carnival in Cannes, a benefit event
presented by Giorgio Armani in support of
Sean Penn's J/P HRO, Paul Haggis' Artists
for Peace and Justice and Petra Nemcova's
Happy Heart's Fund for their united and
extraordinary work in Haiti.
•••
To help them carry out their
extraordinary work and to pay tribute to
their tireless humanitarian activities,
the Festival de Cannes is hosting a gala
fund raising event in support of the
Haitian cause. This event is the first of
its kind for the Festival de Cannes, since
the benefit screening of Il était
une fois, l'Amérique by Sergio
Leone in 1984 in support of the Institut
Pasteur, and the screening of Paolo and
Vittorio Taviani's film Elective
Affinities in 1996, in support of the
reconstruction of the Fenice.
•••
Sean Penn has a very close
connection with the Festival de Cannes,
having presented films in Competition
(including The Pledge in 2001, which he
directed) and in Un Certain Regard, and he
served as President of the Jury in
2008.
•••
The Festival de Cannes is very
proud to join ranks with Sean Penn, Paul
Haggis and Petra Nemcova in their fight to
help Haiti and its inhabitants.
•••
Gilles Jacob commented, "People say
that a great actor is by nature
egocentric, and that a great director is
focussed on his art. Sean Penn is both a
great actor and director. What he does
above and beyond that for the people and
the land of Haiti, giving freely of
himself, his abiding presence, his work
&endash; one could almost say the work of
his own hands &endash; his whole discreet,
human, moral and altruistic involvement as
a benefactor, commands our greatest
respect."
•••
Thierry Fremaux commented, "Sean
Penn is a good friend of the Festival de
Cannes, he came in Competition as an actor
and as a director, he was President of the
Jury. But it is not the only reason why we
offered to receive him. We are greatly
fascinated by his permanent and
long-lasting commitment to Haiti's
recovery. And we are very pleased to be a
part of this evening which intends to
raise money and honor the Haitians
themselves."
•••
Giorgio Armani added, "I am proud
to stand alongside Sean Penn, a man cut
from a very rare cloth. He first
captivated me as an astonishing actor.
Then as a respected director. Then as a
loyal friend. And now, as a life changer.
It is an honor to be a part of Sean's
remarkable life of service by joining his
humanitarian efforts for the people of
Haiti. For this to come to fruition at the
prestigious Cannes Film Festival marks a
career milestone for me, and demonstrates
what happens when you work with Sean, a
world-class force of nature."

The Wireless Telephone®™© -
"the Movie."
"Sometimes
an idea whose time
has come -- is just a little too
soon!"
•••
This fast-moving,
epic-scale 440 page tviPublishing.com
book, documents over 110 years of the
device itself, and the effects &
elements of The
Wireless
Telephone®™©.
The device, and the elements and effects
attached thereto, were first developed,
registered, demonstrated, and published
by: NATHAN B. STUBBLEFIELD, of MURRAY,
KENTUCKY
•••The
sole purpose of the public
Wireless
Telephone®™©
demonstrations
was to sell territorial deeds throughout
the U.S.A. for the use of his
WiTEL®™© device for
broadcasting purposes, that including his
7 digital TeleKey Area Code connecting
system.
•••
Since that time, 1892 to 2012, the
improvments of his designs and the
maintanance of his intelectual property
rights by his territorial deed Wireless
Telephone®™© holders, and
his heirs. A few of the name changes used,
and accepted by the NBSwitel.com
organization to identify and update the
Wireless Telephone®™© name
to fit modern-day unsage include: Radio,
Television, LookRadio, WiTEL, CellPhone,
iPhone, Firewire-187,
etc.
•••
Like authors of the Bell & Edison
inventions, the NBS WirelessTelephone.org
family will own the nbswitel.com
intellectual property rights --
"FOREVER MINUS A
DAY."
•••
The five chapters of WiTEL facts,
and true-life adventures of one of the
most unsung inventors in history, whose
revolutionary innovations have effected
every human being on the planet over the
last three generations! Based on the true
story of inventor and part-time melon
farmer Nathan B. Stubblefield's (and
subsequently his grandson Troy Cory's)
battle with the government and U.S.
telephone industry.
•••
"Firewire" tells the tale of two
very different men from two very different
eras who share not only the same blood,
but the same fight - whose battle to
receive recognition for the invention of
the wireless telephone would come at a
heavy price. But the determined small-town
inventor and the impassioned big-city
entertainer both refused to be silenced,
and they took on the rural backstabbers
and the corporate titans alike in a battle
that nobody thought either  could
win.
•••
The Stubblefields started out as a
typical 1880's Kentucky family, trying to
live their version of the American Dream,
but ended up as anything but! When Nathan
invents a unique device that he prophesied
would eventually be used by nearly
everyone in the world &endash; he was not
far from wrong. Decades later, when his
grandson learns that it was his relative
who indeed invented the wireless phone,
Cory thinks he's struck gold. But his
aspirations are dashed after the telephone
monopolies and political pirates who
initially seized Stubblefield's creation
as their own are just as determined to
shut out his descendant decades later, as
well.
•••Ignored,
threatened and then buried in years of
struggle, Cory is haunted by what was done
to his family. He becomes a man obsessed
with justice and the conviction that his
grandfather's life work &endash; or for
that matter, anyone's work &endash; be
acknowledged by those who stood to
benefit. And while paying the toll for
refusing to compromise his dignity, this
everyday David will try the unthinkable:
to strategically bring Goliath to his
knees in a cooperation with truth and
justice for all. --Donna Jeffries
• "You
don't get to bust through the
airwaves without catching a little
static
•••
Across the landscape of the
American Industrial Revolution, within the
field of urban electrification and
communication, the legacy of prominent
inventors such as George Westinghouse,
Thomas Edison, and Alexander Graham Bell
stand proud. Their achievements
celebrated, their status recognized. But
they do not stand alone. Concealed by the
shadows of history, and even more by the
deviousness of corrupt men in power, is
the figure of Nathan B. Stubblefield, a
contemporary of those great men and one of
that era's most innovative and prolific
inventors..
•••
At the time of his death in 1928,
Stubblefield had been granted dozens of
patents, mostly relating to electrical and
wireless technologies. His inventions
completely revolutionized the world of
communications that we know today, yet not
many people even know his name. With over
5.6 billion wireless phones in use today -
there's no denying, wireless technology
has irreversibly changed the world..
•••
This story will open your eyes and
challenge what you think you know about
not only your cell phone, but the
challenges and the victories that brought
these innovations to us in the first
place. More importantly, it gives us
insight into the human tragedy and triumph
that was and still is a part of the
reality of our most innovative
technological pioneers today in America.

MIP, Palais des Festivals, Cannes,
France.
Cannes,
April 1 -- Fremantle announces a new
collaboration with Hulu; and David
Ellender who runs Fremantle Media
Enterprises, has signed a major first-look
deal with producer Justin Bodle (The Day
of the Triffids, Flood, Colditz, Archangel
Crusoe) the night before the MIPTV market
opened today. The Bodle deal closely
follows another FremantleMedia deal with
UK celebrated writer Paul Abbott ("Hit and
Miss") debuting in May on the UK's Sky
Atlantic.
Drama is in - and so are 'New
Players'
••••
In the wake
of the internatonal successes of dramas
like Downton Abby and Mad
Men, there is renewed interst from
broadcasters in quality, scripted dramas,
but it is not only the traditional TV
broadcasters who are showing renewed
interest in drama. Joining the
international set of channel and
programming executives that traditionally
populate Cannes at this time of year, are
the new players, from Amazon, Netflix and
Facebook to Hulu and YouTube.
••••In
particular the subscription services like
Netflix and Amazon are interested in
long-running dramas because of the simple
fact that they work really well in an
on-demand, binge-viewing environment,
according to executives who are
negotiating with them.
••••The
"disruptors" Like Hulu, Netflix and Google
TV have all reached the same conclusion
that high-quality video is crucial to
their growth plan," and they are certainly
eager to work with the TV makers, with
both MySpace TV--which is set to launch
this summer in the US under its new
ownership that includes Justin Timberlake
-- and Amazon telling delegates today at
MIPTV that they want to license TV
content. "If you are not already
talking to us you should be," said
Amazon's global head of digital video
Anthony Bay.
•••Amazon
held separate meetings in London last week
with all the big studio heads, according
to an industry source to lay out its
European plans which include adding
France, Spain and Italy. "Amazon clearly
is trying to pre-empt Netflix's next moves
in Europe in talking about multi-territory
deals." • CLICK

115-The
123rd Tournament of Roses
Parade
- By Gary
Sunkin
•••
The Pasadena
Tournament of Roses is a volunteer
organization that annually hosts the Rose
Parade® presented by Honda, Rose Bowl
Game® presented by VIZIO and various
associated
event..
••• It has come a
long way since its early days. The Rose
Parade's elaborate floats now feature
high-tech computerized animation and
exotic natural materials from around the
world. Although a few floats are still
built exclusively by volunteers from their
sponsoring communities, most are built by
professional float building companies and
take nearly a year to construct. The
year-long effort pays off on New Year's
morning, when millions of viewers around
the world enjoy the Rose Parade.
•••
The first
Rose Queen was crowned in 1905, and every
year since 1929, Rose Queens and Rose
Princesses have been a part of the
Tournament of Roses.
•••
From "2010: A Cut Above The Rest,"
"Building Dreams, Friendships and
Memories" in 2011, to this year's theme
"Just
Imagine," the 123rd Rose Parade
presented by Honda, will take place
Monday, Jan. 2, 2012, at 8 a.m. (PST)
featuring majestic floral floats,
high-stepping equestrian units and
spirited marching bands.
•••
As Grand Marshal, Iraq war
verteran, R.J. Martinez will ride in the
123rd Rose Parade in front of a worldwide
television audience. Following the parade,
the 98th Rose Bowl Game presented by VIZIO
will kick off at 2:10 p.m. (PST) and
feature an exciting match-up
betweenWisconsin Badgers Vs. Oregon Ducks,
two of the top collegiate football teams
in the nation.
•••
The Rose Bowl
is nicknamed "The Granddaddy of Them All"
because it is the oldest bowl game. It was
first played in 1902, and has been played
continuously since 1916. Since 1945, it
has been the highest attended college
football bowl game.It is a part of the
Tournament of Roses "America's New Year
Celebration."
•
Past Grand Marshals of the Rose Parade
1890 - 2012
•••Every
Parade needs a Grand Marshal, and the Rose
Parade has had some of the world's most
distinguished individuals serving in that
honored position. Past Grand Marshals have
included actors, astronauts, writers,
artists, athletes and political
figures.
•••Early
Grand Marshals were local heroes, many of
them Tournament organizers. The first
Grand Marshal from outside Pasadena was
San Francisco Mayor James Rolph in 1930,
and as the Tournament grew, so did the
stature of its Grand Marshals. Mary
Pickford, Earl Warren, Dwight D.
Eisenhower, Gregory Peck, Bob Hope, Erma
Bombeck, Henry "Hank" Aaron, the Apollo 12
astronauts, John Wayne, Frank Sinatra,
Kate Smith, Gerald Ford, Lee Iaccoca,
James Stewart, Pele and Angela Lansbury
are just a few of the distinguished
individuals who have held the honored
position. 1966 Grand Marshal Walt Disney
rode in the Parade with Mickey Mouse, and
Edgar Bergen brought Charlie McCarthy
along in 1940. Shirley Temple, who was a
10-year old movie star when she led the
50th Rose Parade returned as diplomat
Shirley Temple Black to serve as Grand
Marshal of the Tournament's Centennial
celebration in 1989.

MIDEM
- Short
for Marché
International du Disque et de
l'Edition Musicale -
since 1967 has been held annually at
and around the Palais des Festivals in
Cannes, France. It is the world's largest
music industry trade fair, Bringing
together musicians, businesspeople,
cultural policy makers, and journalists
from many countries, it provides a forum
for business talks, discussing political
and legal issues, and showcasing new
artists, musical trends and music-related
products. A series of conferences are
notably organised, in keeping with MIDEM's
growing vocation to educate the industry
about new revenue streams.
•••
In spite of a large number of concerts,
MIDEM considers itself primarily a
marketplace, thus the artists who present
are those who either run an enterprise of
their own, or have been invited to promote
companies. Although major labels and other
corporate actors dominate the scene at
MIDEM, its events also include the
International Indie Summit.
•••
MIDEM also
acts as a venue for the NRJ Music Awards
(since 2000), where French radio station
NRJ welcomes the world's biggest pop stars
to the Palais des Festivals the night
before MIDEM begins.

115- Rick Steves Talks Travel Skills - a
fresh perspective on the best travel
advice.
"Europe Through the Back Door."
••••
Rick Steves will be one of the
headliners at the LA Times Travel Show
held at the LA Convention Center, Jan.
27th -29th.
•••
In November 2011, KCET presented
the popular Travel Skills Talk seminar,
"Europe Through the Back Door" by
acclaimed travel expert and best-selling
author, Rick Steves. Steves offered guests
practical, money-saving tips about
independent travel and the best European
adventures. Following the presentation,
guests were treated to a European-themed
reception and book signing.
••••
In Europe through the Back Door, he
shared lessons he's learned from a
lifetime of travel. His entertaining,
information-packed two-hour slideshow
lecture taught all the latest on
stretching your travel dollar, avoiding
crowds, packing smart, and eating and
sleeping well.
••••
When he's ripped off on the road,
he celebrates, happy to go home and teach
his traveling students about the latest
scam. "Learn from my mistakes rather than
your own," he told the audience. After
spending a third of his adult life living
out of a rucksack in Europe, Rick knows
exactly how you can enjoy maximum travel
thrills for every mile, minute, and dollar
in your next adventure.
••••
When asked by TVI iPublisher Troy
Cory, if he considered himself an American
or a 'United Statian,' Steves just puasing
for a second replied, "I haven't really
concerned myself with this." However, to
Mr Cory's delight. Steves used the
expression a few times during his
continued lecture. Rick also wanted his
audience to know that during all his
travels, he found that American (or United
Statians) were very well liked abroad.
"Though people abroad may disagree with US
policies, they do like Americans and their
relaxed manner." Steves said.
••••
Rick Steves, is author of 50
guidebooks including the travel skills
handbook. In Rick Steves Europe, he
shares his extensive knowledge of European
history, art and culture. His years as
America's most popular European guidebook
author blends with his relaxed but
informative style to make this one of

115 LA AutoShow -
2011
 The
L.A. Auto
Show
will host some of the industry's
most important new vehicle debuts and set
the tone for the rest of the year.
More than 50 Vehicles (20 World Debuts and
More than 30 North American) will Debut at
the LA Auto Show 2011 when it opens for
the Press Nov. 16 & 17 and Nov. 18-27
for the public).
••••
Mazda CEO Takashi Yamanouchi to
Open show with Motor Press Guild Keynote
address. This will be the 13th year the
MPG presentation has opened the LA Auto
Show Press Days. Preceding the keynote
speech will be a welcome address from
Mitch Bainwol, the newly-named president
and CEO of the Alliance of Automobile
Manufacturers.
•
As a bright spot in the overall
economy,
the auto industry continues its
momentum at the L.A. Show, highlighted by
more than 22 manufacturer press
conferences. It will be clear that
automakers have invested significantly to
deliver vehicles consumers want, featuring
an unprecedented number of technological
advancements, improved performance and
design, all while decreasing carbon
emissions. In addition to the 1,000 new
vehicles at the show, a significant number
of manufacturers have upgraded exhibit
spaces and added enhanced features with
more interactive content and experiences.
There will also be more than a half-dozen
test drives that put consumers in the
seats and on the streets in some new
vehicles on select days.
•
Notable this year,
will be a significant increase
in fuel efficiency across the board in all
categories. Nearly 20 highly-efficient,
40-mpg-plus vehicles, using internal
combustion engines--such as the world
debut of the Chevrolet Spark-- will be at
the Show. A renaissance is underway for
the four-cylinder engine, which in an era
of rising gas prices and concern for fuel
economy has become a powerplant of choice
for many automakers.
•
Completely
reengineered,
to deliver the
power and
torque normally associated with larger
displacement engines, four cylinder
designs are not just powering compacts,
but finding their way into multiple
platforms. Most notably, the hotly
contested small crossover segment will
feature two head-to-head competitive world
debuts--the Ford Escape and Honda CRV.
Mazda also has a new entry in this
category with the North American debut of
its all-new CX-5 crossover.
•
Underscoring
that many solutions exist,
for
reducing carbon emissions, a whole
pack of electric vehicles are in or
entering production and will be
highlighted at the show, including
Mitsubishi's all-electric i, the Ford
Focus Electric, BMW's i3 Concept, CODA's
Sedan, Nissan's LEAF and an import from
Croatia, the DOK-ING XD. Hybrids and
plug-in hybrids continue to grow and
highlights at the show include the Toyota
Prius Plug-in Hybrid, the new Honda Civic
Hybrid and the updated Honda Insight
Hybrid. BMW will also have its
groundbreaking, i8 plug-in hybrid sports
coupe concept.
•
More than
half of the 50 L.A. Show debuts,
fall in the performance and
luxury vehicle category like the Audi R8
GT Spyder, Porsche 911 and Jaguar C-X16
sports car concept. Bentley is returning
to Los Angeles this year, premiering the
marque's 2012 Continental GTC ultra-luxury
convertible. The show will also feature
the BMW M5, the fifth-generation edition
of the sports sedan, now powered by a
4.4-liter, turbocharged, V8 engine; the
Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster, an
open-top power statement with a
563-horsepower, 6.2-liter engine producing
479 lb-ft of torque; and what GM is
calling the world's most powerful
production convertible, the 2013 Chevrolet
Camaro ZL1, boasting 580 hp produced by a
supercharged 6.2-liter V8. The AMG
Roadster and Camaro convertible are just
two of at least a half dozen convertibles
debuting at the Show.
•
The
performance and luxury category
is also noteworthy this year
for being a showcase for new entries into
the segment, including Hyundai's continued
push upward with the premiere of the 2012
Azera, as well as the U.S. debut of
entirely new manufacturers, like the
Mastretta MXT from Mexico. And, showing
performance attributes are crossing
traditional lines, the Fiat 500 Abarth
demonstrates the further evolution of the
once-overlooked compact category. A
modified, 135-horsepower version of the
recently reborn Fiat 500, the 500 Abarth,
will join other "super" compact debuts
including the Ford Fiesta ST and the
Mazda3 SKYACTIV.
•
High-tech
systems have become,
one of the most important
features of the car itself. New technology
to look for at the Show includes advanced
applications of Bluetooth, radar sensors,
embedded telephony and cloud computing. In
use, these high-tech systems give drivers
hands-free access to personal data,
communications, audio entertainment,
social networking and advanced safety
measures previously unimaginable. New
technology developments unveiled at the
show are expected from Audi, BMW,
Cadillac, Ford, Hyundai, Kia, Lexus,
Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Volkswagen and
others.
•
The
automakers aren't the only exhibitors,
debuting new vehicles and
products at the show. The L.A. Auto Show
also has an entire hall dedicated to the
latest specialty vehicles, automotive
accessories and customizing trends.
Everything from exotic custom cars,
wheels, tires and performance products, to
the latest mobile, audio and entertainment
systems can be found in Kentia Hall. A few
highlights include Galpin Auto Sports
(GAS) showcase of more than 15 custom
vehicle premieres, including the 2012 Ford
Explorer XXVI, with a heart pounding
2000 WATT sound system; a 1,000
horsepower wide-body 2012 Shelby
Supersnake and "Thunder," a highly
modified 540 horsepower 2012 Ford F-150.
High-end tuners and performance experts
such as Specialty Car Craft, RTW Motoring
and Platinum Motorsports will be on hand
to showcase the ultimate in modified ex
otic, luxury and sports cars from around
the world.

Le Merigot Beach Hotel
••
The movie industry is made up of
hundreds of independent motion picture
production and distribution reaches its
peak every year atthe American Film Market
(AFM), the world's largest film market.
Founded in 1981, the AFM is a pivotal
destination for independent film companies
and business people from all over the
world. Each year, more than 8,000 industry
professionals converge in Santa Monica for
eight days of deal-making, screenings,
seminars, premieres, networking and
parties.
•••
The AFM offers
unique accessibility to the ever-changing
global motion picture industry. Unlike a
film festival, the AFM is a marketplace
where production and distribution deals
are closed. In just eight days, more than
$800 million in deals will be sealed on
both completed films and those that
haven't started shooting yet. Participants
come from more than 70 countries and
include acquisition and development
executives, agents, attorneys, directors,
distributors, financiers, film
commissioners, producers, writers, the
world's press, and all those who provide
services to the motion picture
industry.
•••The
AFM is produced by the Independent Film
& Television Alliance (IFTA), the
trade association representing the world's
producers and distributors of independent
motion pictures and television
programs.
•••Films
available at this year's AFM can be found
in the The Film Catalogue,, IFTA's
comprehensive and authoritative online
source which gives up-to-the-minute
details on nearly 6,000 independent motion
pictures, and is regarded as the most
extensive and significant online film
resource for distributors and buyers
around the
globe.

NATPE's Brandon Tartikoff Legacy Award is
presented each year at a special reception
during the annual NATPE Market &
Conference. Ebersol, Mary Hart, Regis
Philbin and Gerhard Zeiler will receive
NATPE||Content First's 8th annual Brandon
Tartikoff Legacy
Award, to be
presented on Tuesday, Jan. 25 during the
NATPE 2011 Market & Conference, at the
Fontainebleau Resort in Miami
Beach.
•
Proceeds benefit the NATPE
Educational Foundation.
Named in honor of Brandon Tartikoff,
arguably one of television's greatest
programmers, the Brandon Tartikoff Legacy
Award was created to recognize the
extraordinary passion, leadership,
independence and vision in creating
television programming that defined
Tartikoff's character and career.
•••Tartikoff
spent 11 years as head of entertainment
programming for
NBC.
•••To
consider all that Brandon Tartikoff
accomplished as president of NBC
Entertainment, it's important to remember
how bad NBC was in 1981, when, at 31,
Tartikoff took over. But in a few short
years, after hits like
Cheers, Hill Street Blues, The Cosby Show,
Family Ties, Golden Girls and St.
Elsewhere, NBC was not only on top of the
ratings but did so with the creation of
programs that were to this day among the
best in TV
history.
•Part
02/
• About
the Brandon Tartikoff Legacy Award
Recipients.
Tartikoff passed away in 1997, at the age
of 48,
from Hodgkin's disease, which
he had fought-unknown to all but a few
close friends-since he was just out of
college. The Brandon Tartikoff Legacy
Awards began in 2004, and have become an
honor that program executives and creators
treasure.
•••Individuals
are nominated for Award consideration with
the oversight of NATPE's Executive
Committee and the executive editorial
staffs of Broadcasting & Cable,
Multichannel News and Variety.
Broadcasting & Cable, Multichannel
News, Variety and NBC Universal are proud
sponsors of this prestigous
event.
•••Those
who knew Tartikoff appreciated his sense
of humor and his respect for the creative
process. He made the television industry
better, as this year's four
winners.
•••"We
believe that this year's recipients, Dick,
Mary, Regis and Gerhard have remarkably
shaped the global television industry on
both business and pop cultural levels, and
truly embody the spirit of the Brandon
Tartikoff Legacy Award," said Rick
Feldman, NATPE President &
CEO.
 •••"Both
NATPE and Lilly Tartikoff Karatz are
delighted to honor the recipients' storied
careers through this special
celebration."
•
Dick Ebersol - A prolific producer and
executive, Dick
Ebersol is currently the Chairman of NBC
Universal Sports & Olympics, and in

events in U.S. history. Responsible for
award-winning sports, entertainment and
news productions, Ebersol negotiated an
unprecedented number of Summer and Winter
Olympics broadcasting rights deals for
NBC, establishing NBC as "America's
Olympic Network." Not only a powerhouse
sports broadcasting executive, Ebersol

Regis Philbin - is an Emmy Award-winning
broadcasting industry
icon. Since
first stepping in front of the camera more
than 40 years ago, he has ambitiously
tackled talk shows, game shows, the
literary world and even the music
industry. Philbin is best known for his
many years as co-host of the
nationally-syndicated morning program
"LIVE! with Regis and Kelly." He later
took  his
daytime success to primetime as host of
ABC's ratings juggernaut "Who Wants To Be
A Millionaire."
• 03 Regis Philbin will
resign from his daily talk show"Live! With
Regis and Kelly."
After 28 years, Philbin said he will step

but he didn't specify a departure
date.

has selected actress Gia
Mantegna, as Miss Golden Globe 2011 for
The 68th Annual Golden Globe® Awards.
HFPA President Philip Berk made the
announcement at The First Party of the
2011 Golden Globe Award Season, hosted by
the HFPA and
InStyle.
•••
Chosen
by the HFPA, Miss and/or Mr. Golden Globe
is traditionally the child of a well-known
celebrity and assists during the Golden
Globe Awards
ceremony.
•••
Previous
Miss Golden Globe honorees include Laura
Dern (daughter of Diane Ladd and Bruce
Dern), Joely Fisher (daughter of Connie
Stevens and Eddie Fisher), Melanie
Griffith (daughter of Tippi Hedren) and
last year's honoree Lorraine Nicholson
(daughter of Jack
Nicholson). Previous Mr. Golden
Globes include John Clark Gable and
Freddie Prinze, Jr.
•
The Golden Globe Award is presented by
--
the Hollywood Foreign Press Association
(HFPA) in recognition of excellence in
film and television, domestic as well as
foreign production. These prestigious
Globes awards are one of the three most
popular, widely acclaimed and most watched
award shows on
television.
•••
This
year's annual January event, the 68th
Annual Golden Globe Awards was hosted by
Ricky Gervais, the British comedian and
creator of The Office and the ceremony was
telecast live from the Beverly Hilton
Hotel in Los
Angeles.
•
About the Hollywood Foreign Press
Association
--
•••
The
Hollywood Foreign Press Association is
known worldwide for its glittering Golden
Globe Awards ceremony held every January
and its multi-million dollar donations to
charity. The Hollywood Foreign Press
Association had humble origins that
stemmed solely from a group of
journalists' desire to cover all aspects
of the world of
entertainment.
•••
Today's
organization has its roots in the early
1940s when Pearl Harbor had drawn America
into World War II. Audiences, hungry
for diversion, were seeking out films
offering escape, inspiration and
entertainment; and filmmakers such as
Orson Welles, Preston Sturges, Darryl
Zanuck and Michael Curtiz were working
hard to fulfill the
need.
•••
Amid
the turmoil of war and the difficulties
with communications, a handful of Los
Angeles-based overseas journalists banded
together to share contacts, information
and material. The idea was not a new one:
previously, in 1928 the Hollywood
Association of Foreign Correspondents
(HAFCO) had been formed and, in 1935, the
Foreign Press Society appeared. Both were
short-lived.
•
In 1943 the journalists, led by --
the
correspondent for Britain's Daily Mail,
formed the Hollywood
Foreign Correspondents Association
and conceived the motto "Unity Without
Discrimination of Religion or
Race." It was an uphill struggle at
first as the film industry had not yet
realized the importance of foreign
markets. At first the members held
informal gatherings in private homes. As
the membership grew, HFPA meetings were
held in larger quarters, with the
association selecting the Hollywood
Roosevelt Hotel as the location for group
functions.
•••
The
group's first special event was a luncheon
in December 1947, at which a meritorious
plaque was awarded to Harry M.
Warner.
•••
As
representatives of the world press, the
group's members felt it was incumbent upon
them to give their audience their
judgments as to Hollywood's finest
productions. The organization's first
awards presentation for distinguished
achievements in the film industry took
place in early 1944 with an informal
ceremony at 20th Century
Fox.
•••
In
1945, the members of the association held
a contest to find a design for a statuette
that would best represent the overall aims
of the organization. Marina
Cisternas, president (1945-46) presented
the idea for a golden globe encircled with
a strip of motion picture film, and
mounted on a
pedestal.
•
In
1950 differing philosophies among members
--
created
a schism within the organization,
resulting in a split into two separate
groups -- The Hollywood Foreign
Correspondents Association and the Foreign
Press Association of
Hollywood.
•••
For
a time, the two organizations existed side
by side, with one group handing out Golden
Globes while the other awarded Henriettas,
named for their president, Henry
Gris.
•
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association,
ªHFPAº --
•••
The
separation ended in 1955 when the
journalists reunited under the collective
title "The Hollywood Foreign Press
Association" with firm guidelines and
requirements for
membership.
•••
During
its early years the HFPA established
itself with the studios by innovations
such as its World Favorites awards, which
it came up with by polling more than 900
newspapers, magazines and radio stations
around the world. The group also came up
with the idea of "bon voyage" interview
lunches with actors and actresses who were
leaving to make films in countries
represented by the
members.
•••
In
1955 the Golden Globes began honoring
achievements in television as well as in
film.
•
The HFPA is currently celebrating its 66th
--
anniversary
in Hollywood. Today, the Golden
Globes recognize achievements in 25
categories; 14 in motion pictures and 11
in television. dick clark productions
has produced the Golden Globes ceremony
since
1983.
