Multi-platinum and three-time Grammy award-winning producer, singer-songwriter, artist, musician and technology expert Edward Theodore "Teddy" Riley, also known as the creator and king of New Jack Swing, is set to receive the coveted Legend Award.

Riley produced number one hits for countless icons which have governed the airways for decades. As a founding member of the multi-platinum Grammy winning group Blackstreet and a member of the group Guy, which became a multi-platinum group, Riley's New Jack Swing sound was the epic lifeline that forever changed the design for R&B and Hip-Hop music.
He is the first African-American producer to bring Korean Pop (K-Pop) music to the USA and has been producing number one hits on Billboard charts for nearly a decade.

Rhythm and blues, often abbreviated as R&B or RnB, is a genre of popular Urban-American music that originated in the 1940s.
The term was originally used by record companies to describe recordings marketed predominantly to urban market , at a time when "urbane, rocking, jazz based music with a heavy, insistent beat" was becoming more popular.
In the commercial rhythm and blues music typical of the 1950s through the 1970s, the bands usually consisted of piano, one or two guitars, bass, drums, saxophone, and background vocalists.
The term rhythm and blues has undergone a number of shifts in meaning. In the early 1950s it was frequently applied to blues records.
Starting in the mid-1950s, after this style of music contributed to the development of rock and roll, the term "R&B" became used to refer to music styles that developed from and incorporated electric blues, as well as gospel and soul music.
In the 1960s, several British rock bands such as the Rolling Stones, The Who and The Animals were referred to and promoted as being RnB bands; posters for The Who's residency at the Marquee Club in 1964 contained the slogan.
This tangent of RnB is now known as "British rhythm and blues". By the 1970s, the term rhythm and blues changed again and was used as a blanket term for soul and funk.
In the 1980s, a newer style of R&B developed, becoming known as "Contemporary R&B". It combines elements of rhythm and blues, soul, funk, pop, hip hop and dance. ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhythm_and_blues

SMOKEY ROBINSON ON MAY 19 TO RAISE FUNDS FOR MUSICARES®' ADDICTION RECOVERY SERVICES
Performers Include El DeBarge, Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, Cee Lo Green, And Kem
Cedric The Entertainer To Host Tribute Event
The 12th annual MusiCares MAP Fund® tribute concert will honor legendary GRAMMY®-winning singer/songwriter Smokey Robinson at the Novo (formally Club Nokia) in Los Angeles on May 19. Robinson will receive the Stevie Ray Vaughan Award in recognition of his dedication and support of the MusiCares MAP Fund as well as his commitment to helping others with the addiction recovery process.
All proceeds will benefit the MusiCares MAP Fund, which provides members of the music community access to addiction recovery treatment regardless of their financial situation. Performers include GRAMMY-nominated artists El DeBarge and Kem, and multi-GRAMMY winners Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds and Cee Lo Green. Robinson will give a closing performance with his touring band. Actor and comedian Cedric the Entertainer will host the event. Additional performers will be announced.
"During the course of his 60-year career, Smokey's stellar repertoire of extraordinary songwriting combined with his unique voice and dynamic performances continues to thrill sold-out audiences and fans worldwide," said Neil Portnow, President/CEO of MusiCares® and The Recording Academy®.
"He is also a passionate advocate for the MusiCares MAP Fund, and our work to help members of the music industry facing addiction. It is a genuine pleasure to honor a true musical icon and a courageous supporter of the recovery community."
"I've been blessed to have a truly rewarding career in the music industry and I've worn many hats, from artist and songwriter to producer and executive," said Robinson. "I also have experienced firsthand the ravages of addiction, and the role I'm most proud to be associated with is 'sober.' That's why I'm so honored to receive this MusiCares MAP Fund tribute, because this charity saves lives day after day, all year long."
"Smokey's artistry and craft are known worldwide," said MusiCares Chair Bill Silva. "Our annual MusiCares MAP Fund tribute will shine the light on his contributions as a standard-bearer for recovery."
Celebrated producer, songwriter and founder of Motown Records Berry Gordy will serve as the Honorary Tribute Chair for the event. Noted entertainment attorney John Branca, who was recently appointed to serve as the MusiCares Honorary Board Chair, will be in attendance. Branca was Co-Chair of the Executive Committee for the MusiCares 20th Anniversary Campaign, which raised a total of $12.5 million.

An acclaimed singer/songwriter, Robinson's career spans more than six decades of hits. Born and raised in Detroit, he founded the Miracles while still in high school. The Miracles were Berry Gordy's first vocal group, and Robinson was there from the very beginning as Gordy started the Motown Records dynasty.
Their single of Robinson's "Shop Around," which was co-written by Robinson and Gordy, became Motown's first No. 1 hit on the R&B Singles chart. In the years following, Robinson continued to pen hits for the group, including "You've Really Got A Hold On Me," "Ooo Baby Baby," "The Tracks Of My Tears," "Going To A Go-Go," "More Love," "The Tears Of A Clown" (co-written with Hank Crosby and Stevie Wonder), and "I Second That Emotion."
The Miracles dominated the R&B scene throughout the 1960s and early 1970s. Robinson became vice president of Motown Records, serving as an in-house producer, talent scout and songwriter. In addition to writing hits for the Miracles, he wrote and produced hits for other Motown greats, including Marvin Gaye, Brenda Holloway, the Temptations, Mary Wells, and others.
Robinson has received numerous awards, including the GRAMMY Legend Award, The Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award, four recordings inducted into the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame®, an honorary doctorate from Howard University, Kennedy Center Honors, and the National Medal of Arts Award from the President of the United States.
He has also been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He remained vice president of Motown Records until the sale of the company, shaping the label's success with his friend and mentor Gordy. Following his tenure at Motown, Robinson has continued his impressive touring career and released several successful solo albums.
The MusiCares Foundation offers programs and services to members of the music community, including emergency financial assistance for basic living expenses such as rent, utilities, and car payments; medical expenses including doctor, dentist and hospital bills; psychotherapy; and treatment for HIV/AIDS, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, hepatitis C, and other critical illnesses. MusiCares offers nationwide educational workshops covering a variety of subjects, including financial, legal, medical, and substance abuse issues, and programs in collaboration with health care professionals that provide services such as flu shots, hearing tests and medical/dental screenings.
The MusiCares MAP Fund provides access to addiction recovery treatment and sober living resources for members of the music community. Staffed by qualified chemical dependency and intervention specialists, MusiCares offers Safe Harbor Room® support, sponsored in part by the Bohemian Foundation and RBC Capital Markets, to provide a network to those in recovery while they are participating in the production of televised music shows and other major music events.
MusiCares holds weekly addiction support groups for people to discuss how to best cope with the issues surrounding the recovery process. The MusiCares Sober Touring Network is a database of individuals across the United States who can take music people to recovery support meetings while on the road.
Established in 1989 by The Recording Academy, MusiCares provides a safety net of critical assistance for music people in times of need.

Super Bowl halftime show 2016: Coldplay, Beyonce and Bruno Mars will all perform
The most anticipated non-football part of the entire Super Bowl extravaganza is the halftime show, which has become a hugely prestigious entertainment spectacle and almost bigger than the game itself.
Halftime Show, Prop Bets, Odds, Online Streaming
Coldplay will serve as headliner with a confirmed guest appearance from Beyoncé; Bruno Mars is reportedly slated to join the festivities as well, and Lady Gaga will sing the national anthem before kickoff.
Beyoncé was the performer of the halftime show at Super Bowl XLVII in 2013 and Bruno Mars was the headliner for Super Bowl XLVIII one year later in 2014. Coldplay has never before taken the stage at the Super Bowl.
The game itself will feature the Denver Broncos, in their eighth Super Bowl, and the Carolina Panthers, playing in their second Super Bowl.
During Super Bowl XLIX in Glendale, Arizona, in 2015, Katy Perry and Lenny Kravitz were the headliners and Perry rode a mechanical lion before dancing with sharks and beach balls.
Super Bowl 50 will be celebrated throughout the Bay Area. The game itself will be played at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara on February 7, 2016, preceded by a weeklong series of public events held throughout the Bay Area. The Super Bowl City fan village, the NFL Experience and the Media Center will be hosted in San Francisco.
CBS is the official broadcast network for Super Bowl 50.
The Lombardi Trophy includes Arabic numerals instead of Roman numerals this season.

OSCAR AWARDS 2016 HISTORIC ACTION
ACADEMY TAKES HISTORIC ACTION TO INCREASE FILM DIVERSITY
Lifetime voting rights reframed; new governor seats added and committees restructured
Goal to double number of diverse members by 2020
In a unanimous vote Thursday night (1/21), the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences approved a sweeping series of substantive changes designed to make the Academy's membership, its governing bodies, and its voting members significantly more diverse. The Board's goal is to commit to doubling the number of women and diverse members of the Academy by 2020.
"The Academy is going to lead and not wait for the industry to catch up," said Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs. "These new measures regarding governance and voting will have an immediate impact and begin the process of significantly changing our membership composition."
Beginning later this year, each new member's voting status will last 10 years, and will be renewed if that new member has been active in motion pictures during that decade. In addition, members will receive lifetime voting rights after three ten-year terms; or if they have won or been nominated for an Academy Award. We will apply these same standards retroactively to current members.
In other words, if a current member has not been active in the last 10 years they can still qualify by meeting the other criteria. Those who do not qualify for active status will be moved to emeritus status. Emeritus members do not pay dues but enjoy all the privileges of membership, except voting. This will not affect voting for this year's Oscars.
At the same time, the Academy will supplement the traditional process in which current members sponsor new members by launching an ambitious, global campaign to identify and recruit qualified new members who represent greater diversity.
In order to immediately increase diversity on the Board of Governors, the Academy will establish three new governor seats that will be nominated by the President for three-year terms and confirmed by the Board.
The Academy will also take immediate action to increase diversity by adding new members who are not Governors to its executive and board committees where key decisions about membership and governance are made. This will allow new members an opportunity to become more active in Academy decision-making and help the organization identify and nurture future leaders.
Along with Boone Isaacs, the Board's Membership and Administration Committee, chaired by Academy Governor Phil Robinson, led the efforts to enact these initiatives.
=================================================================================
REF: USA Today
In a unanimous vote Thursday night, the board of governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences approved a dramatic series of changes to alter its membership to increase diversity.
On Friday, the board listed what it called "historic" goals, committing to doubling the number of women and diverse academy members by 2020.
"The academy is going to lead and not wait for the industry to catch up," said Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs in a statement. "These new measures regarding governance and voting will have an immediate impact and begin the process of significantly changing our membership composition."
A 2012 report by the Los Angeles Times showed that Oscar voters were made up of 94% Caucasian and 77% male.
The diversity issue has dominated discussion after an all-white slate emerged in the acting categories for the second year in a row at the Academy Award nominations.
The ignominiously-dubbed #AllWhiteOscars has led to outcry as well as director Spike Lee, actress Jada Pinkett Smith and her husband Will Smith to boycott the February 28th Oscars hosted by Chris Rock.

The city's unemployment rate, which had fallen to a post-war low of 10.1 per cent in March 1966, soared back to 20.1 per cent.
In 1967, the South Ward's only major employer, Birmingham Sound Reproducers (BSR), established at Bligh's Lane in 1951, closed with the loss of 1,000 jobs. The closure prompted the formation by local trade unionists of the Derry Unemployed Action Committee (DUAC). Pickets, rallies and protests were organised.


Alec Baldwin launch into a rant on his Twitter when 'The Daily Mail' accused his wife Hilaria of using her phone during James Gandolfini's funeral yesterday (27th June).
A British tabloid claimed that Alec Baldwin's wife Hilaria Baldwin tweeted during the funeral of Soprano's star James Gandolfini. When Alec Baldwin heard about the article in The Daily Mail he launched into an irate and homophobic tirade on Twitter.
Baldwin's pregnant wife, Hilaria, did tweet about the funeral and addressed one of her posts to James Gandolfini or as she referred to him 'Jimmy'. As The Mail pointed out this post was between two considerably chirpier ones including discussing recipes and asking advice from her followers about anniversary presents.
Unfortunately, as the time is recorded on Twitter, The Mail does have a point, evidently upon arriving at the funeral or even during the course of it Hilaria was on her phone.
Her post in memory of Gandolfini was at 10.17am (the funeral began at 10am) this was around the time, as The Mail points out, his friends and family were making their eulogies. Her tweet read "the circle of life is unbelievable--birth, life, death... Please take care of yourselves as life is fragile. Rest in Peace Jimmy".
Baldwin upon hearing about article launch into a tirade, tweeting "My wife and I attend a funeral to pay our respects to an old friend, and some toxic Brit writes this f***ing trash".
Baldwin's use of language did not remain at simple profanities but he crammed in some homophobic slurs too - just for good measure. He called George Stark, the writer of The Mail piece, a "toxic little queen". Following this rant he disabled his Twitter account.
Baldwin is, unsurprisingly, not renowned for his people skills.
The late James Gandolfini whose funeral Hilaria was attending when she allegedly used her mobile phone.
In the defence of Hilaria (although this writer does not agree with the use of mobile phones at funerals), The Co-Operative Funeral Care conducted a survey on phone use at funerals which showed the practise is rife. According to this research, one in six admitted to having used a mobile phone during a funeral service.
Baldwin and his wife were just two of many celebrities to attend the funeral in New York yesterday (27th June). Others included many of The Soprano's cast and crew, as well as Boardwalk Empire's leading man Steve Buscemi.
26-year-old Hilaria is due to give birth to Baldwin's child sometime this summer.

I rarely DNF a book, but this one... I tried to get into it, but the writing and characters just grated on me. I was not a big fan of the first book, A Whole New World, but I enjoyed it enough to give this book a try (and will ultimately attempt to read anything with Disney ties). The writing left much to be desired, with too many over descriptive moments that served no purpose (and also seemed like a thesaurus randomly spewed over sections of the book) and annoying characters that I just couldn't relate to or sympathize with. Most of the original good guys were bad guys, Maleficient was a 'good' guy, and it just didn't work. Some retellings can be great and have interesting plot twists, but this was not one of them.

Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif called the incumbent premier, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, after the attack on journalist Ahmad Noorani on Friday and said the incident should be thoroughly investigated and the accused be brought to justice.
A statement issued regarding the matter quoted Nawaz as saying that the incident was not only an attack on a journalist but also on independent journalism on the whole.
Although many journalists have been assaulted in the past, he added, truth cannot be suppressed by attacking the ones who are impartial and courageous.
Noorani was assaulted by unidentified attackers on Islamabad's Khayaban-e-Suharwardy road on Friday.
His car was stopped by three men travelling on a motorcycle near Zero Point Interchange while he was on his way home in Islamabad from Rawalpindi.
The three men got down from their unmarked motorcycle after chasing down Noorani's case while another three, who were standing where the car was stopped with another unmarked motorcycle, joined in and severely beat up Noorani and his driver with iron rods after throwing out the keys from the ignition.


A magnificent Bohemian garnet cross pendant from the Victorian (ca1880) era! This wonderful and ornate piece is made of brass and is rather substantial in size. The body of the cross is wide and has an open filigree design, which is encrusted with faceted garnet stones. The garnets have a fiery, deep red color that looks stunning against the bright brass setting! A cluster of teardrop garnet stones forms a beautiful flower-shaped centerpiece in the middle of the cross. At the top of the piece is a decorative bail, which has a complimentary Bohemian garnet design. A very special piece, it is perfect for any garnet lover and would look incredible worn on a beautiful chain!
Measurements: The cross hangs approximately 3 1/4" long and measures 3/8" at its thickest point. The cross measures 5/8" wide at the narrow point and 2" across at the middle.
Condition: The overall condition of this piece is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage to the brass setting or to the bohemian garnet stones, all of which are intact. The bail is secure and in good working condition.


Author's note: This week's Wicked Wednesday prompt is Winter. Being I've missed a number of prompts recently, I had to get back in on this one. Who better than a Canadian, such as I, to write a piece or erotica about winter?
So how's about a little tale from the British Columbia Rockies of a pair lost in the snow? How about the first real snippet of my next big project that I announced last week? Oh, and maybe, just maybe with a cameo of my most prolific of characters, so far. To set the scene, we have Benz and Grayle trudging through a blizzard after abandoning their vehicle on a mountain road somewhere just south of Yekooche, British Columbia.
"The mercury's falling," Benz's muffled voice called out through his scarf.
Benz spun and glared at the woman following him through the fog of sideways-falling, blizzarding snow. "No cliches!" He couldn't see for certain, but it was a fair assumption that she rolled her eyes under the blaze of brunette hair that the wind whipped straight out.
"Why didn't I think to bring a parka?" She pulled the lapels of her trench coat tightly around her petite frame.
"There's the place." Grayle pointed forward to the right side of the snow-covered road.
The two continued stepping over snow until they got to the front door. Benz pushed the snow back with his sneakers until they could get the door open far enough to get inside.
At best, the place was a supply shed that someone had forgotten. The walls had a slant to them as if gravity were trying to make it disappear before anyone remembered.
"Take your clothes off," Grayle commanded as she pulled her own coat off.
"You mean the table over there?" He pointed at a rickety table and chairs in the corner.
"From a time when people prepared for the worst rather than complaining when it happened." With two kicks, Benz proved her theory right as the table shattered. He moved the wood to the fire and had it lit after only the second match.
Benz shivered out of his pants. "She'll show." Down to black boxers, he wrapped himself in a blanket and sat on the floor.
The wind howled and rocked the door of the shack.
His face blushed in the firelight.
She expelled a loud breath and looked at the fire.
Benz considered mentioning their future son but instead used his energy to grasp her hips and pull her down on him harder.
A hard knock woke Benz.
"Her future, your past," Savannah corrected.
What a way to start another part of Savannah. You cannot imagine how happy I am to know she's back! Or has never been gone… write, write, write, my friend. I want to read more!

Bruwpeg results - Kent State
Fun year to be a part of Bruwpeg. UB is rolling, so is one picker.
By J. David Brand Oct 26, 2013, 8:20pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Bruwpeg results - Kent State
Bo, you are the man!
Timothy T. Ludwig-USA TODAY Spor
Well, how about that. A game that could have gone either way and UB was great today. It is amazing to see the playmakers step up and make plays. Bo was lights out. Mack, you can try to game plan away from him. But like my wise hero Mike Tyson once said, "every one has a game plan until I punch them in the face" In this case, everyone has a plan to stop Mack until he stops your drive.
Time for some Bruwpeg. No perfect pick this week. Actually the best point accumulation was 4 at dbburns (of course), Bull In Exile, and meigs1414.
Here are the top three picks:
dbburns
I don't think Kent has the receiving corps to expose our secondary and even if they do, our DL has been good about casually encouraging teams to not drop back and pass. But as we all know, today is the day we see how good we are. The team knows it too…I would beSHOCKED if we come out any other way than fired up.
Durham and Archer are obviously the worry, they ran for a country mile against us last year, but once again our front 7 has been a whole different animal this year.
And finally, Kent's is not any better than most MAC defenses we have already played (the UMass D was supposed to be decent). While i dont think we score 45, i do think we get 3-4 TDs today.
Bull In Exile

Now, kids, being eaten by a crocodile is just like going to sleep; in giant blender.
So, who did I pick as this weeks winner. The man is just on fire. He is the early version of Jeff Gordon for Bruwpeg. Another historic win for dbburns. dburns pulls nine points ahead of ukbro00 and 16 points of Bull Trojan, Can anyone catch this man?

Looks a very similar setup to the Uber maps cars. The Uber rooftop setup has a huge heatsink, so there's some processing going on that they need to prevent overheating.

As a globally leading supplier of modular standard components, accessories and hot runner technology, HASCO is constantly taking up the latest topics. From 27 to 30 April, the focus at HASCO Portugal's Open Days was on the Industrial Revolution 4.0; a large number of customers and interested parties benefited from a comprehensive programme of lectures and workshops.
HASCO Portugal organised the event together with 12 partner companies. Over a total of three days, experts presented innovations and industry solutions at the product and process level. The main focus was on the application of new options, as well as on simplifying mouldmaking and plastics injection moulding through standardisation and digitisation. HASCO gave a live presentation of its high-performance innovations in standard components and hot runners and also demonstrated the new online portal.
The focal topics of the first day: Take the efficiency opportunity (PCam), Added value for the moldmaker and his customers (Sigmasoft), Development and evaluation of efficient technology chains in tooling (Fraunhofer), HASCO Digital (HASCO), Efficiency enhancement by modular Multi-Shot Hot Runner Nozzles (HASCO), New ARBURG machine serie (ARBURG Ibérica), P1 – I am totally relaxed! (HASCO).
The focal topics of the second day: The Evolution of the Lazer – Equipments and applications (Quadalaser), 3D printed Injection Molding (Stratasys), Cross solutions to optimize your processes (mmr), Tebis: The process (Grupo GLN), AM Tools Grupo Online (AM Tools), Engineering & Tooling from Portugal (Cefamol).
A special highlight of the third day was the lecture by Nuno Gomes, author of the book Indústria Portuguesa de Moldes para Plásticos – contributos para a sua história. He provided insight into the topic "Once Upon a Time the Mouldmaking Industry in Portugal".
At the end of this event, which was well-attended as in every year, all the participants were able to take a great deal of new and valuable knowledge home with them. José Silva, General Manager of HASCO Portuguesa: "We received highly positive feedback from our guests. The mix was just right. Lectures, workshops, the focus on Industry 4.0 and the presentation of our new products. We struck a chord with our customers and presented subjects that are currently attracting a great deal of interest.
Alongside the technical lectures, the accompanying programme offered the 450 or so participants plenty of time and space for networking as well as optimum opportunities for extending their contacts within the sector.
