  • Unrivaled Royalty: Arnie Johnson, Former Rochester Royal, Still Reigns As Only BSU Beaver in NBA History by Micah Friez, Bemidji Pioneer
    Unrivaled Royalty: Arnie Johnson, former Rochester Royal, still reigns as only BSU Beaver in NBA history By Micah Friez, Bemidji Pioneer BEMIDJI—Long before his basketball jersey ever said so, Arnie Johnson was destined for royalty. In the Bemidji winters of yesteryear, Johnson pioneered the first Bemidji State Teachers College dynasty. And nine years later, he and the Rochester Royals were kings of the basketball world. Meet Arnie Johnson: the only Beaver in NBA history. Johnson was selected as a 1942 All-American at the end of his collegiate career. (BSU Archives) "He was built like a big man, but he had the speed of a fast man. He could do so many different things, and yet he was so humble," said Doug Brei, a local sports historian in Rochester, N.Y. "He wasn't the type of guy who was flashy or would get a lot of press. But in a lot of ways, Arnie Johnson was really the heart and soul of the Royals." Nicknamed "The Bulldozer" and remembered as an unsung hero of Rochester's championship days, Johnson was a respected 6-foot-5, 240-pound small forward and one of the most likeable players in the NBA. His defense was dauntless, his rebounding tenacious and his screens perfected for the benefit of his future Hall of Fame teammates. "He was known as one of the most selfless guys on the planet," Brei said of Johnson, who died in 2000 at the age of 80. "Everything was about the team. ... If (his teammates) were still alive, everybody would come back and mention Arnie Johnson's value." Johnson forged an unprecedented path from present-day Memorial Hall in Bemidji to Edgerton Park Sports Arena in Rochester.

  • Feeling Fabulous
    Tel: 0800 0966 825 (UK only) Tel: +44 (0)1329 828438 (outside UK) Email: [email protected] Feeling Fabulous..... We are feeling “fabulous” after our role in the production of a major British comedy film. Intonation was asked to translate a few lines of script into languages as diverse as Japanese, Swedish and the Nigerian language of Yoruba for the Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie. The British Film Industry (BFI) has announced Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie was the highest grossing independent UK film of 2016, with box office takings hitting £16 million! The film is based on the BBC TV comedy series and charts the further adventures of fast-living, but now ageing, duo Edina Monsoon and Patsy Stone, played by Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley. It also features supermodel Kate Moss. Intonation’s Commercial Director Dan Peachey said: “It was a slightly unusual request but when we learned what it was for, we didn’t hesitate to accept the job, as we’re such big fans of the show!” “We watched the film through and it seems our words were used in a TV news report that went global, on a multi screen with loads of languages at the same time.” said Dan. “Trust and confidentiality are just as integral to the high standards we work to and as part of the confidentiality agreement with our client, we couldn’t say anything about the film or our part in it until it was released earlier this month, but we’re very excited to have played a part in its production and made sure we had an office outing to see if we made the cut” he added.

  • Lady Thatcher Celebrated Her 80Th Birthday Last
    LADY THATCHER CELEBRATED HER 80TH BIRTHDAY LAST NIGHT WITH 650 GUESTS Andrew Pierce reports The Times Friday, October 14, 2005 BARONESS THATCHER had the perfect excuse to be a little late last night for her 80th birthday party in the presence of the Queen, Tony Blair and some unlikely names from the show-business world. She was delayed by an unexpected telephone call from President Bush wishing her a happy birthday. The ten- minute call from the White House was the latest in a series of tributes that poured in from around the world. It marked yet another highlight in the life of a woman who still casts a huge shadow over the Conservative Party. The red carpet was rolled out for Lady Thatcher, who was dressed in a navy blue cocktail coat and silk chiffon dress designed by Camilla Milton. Lady Thatcher, who looked frail, made no public comment as a crowd of wellwishers lined the streets to catch a glimpse of Britain's first woman Prime Minister. The 650-strong guest list was a roll call of honour from the 1980s Thatcher heyday. Michael Portillo, who was once seen as her anointed heir, made a surprise appearance. He said: "She was influential in her day but not now." But the former Prime Minister also sprinkled the list with some surprise names from both sides of the political divide. The Queen, in a shimmering silver dress, the Duke of Edinburgh, and the Prime Minister were the principal guests at the drinks party in the gold-embossed ballroom of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Hyde Park, in Knightsbridge.

  • The Naughty Boy Dancing Queen: Embodied Agency in Queer Transgression and Conceptual Muchness
    Sarah Lawrence College DigitalCommons@SarahLawrence Dance Theses Dance Graduate Program 5-2020 The Naughty Boy Dancing Queen: Embodied Agency In Queer Transgression and Conceptual Muchness Hank Bamberger Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.slc.edu/dance_etd Part of the Dance Commons THE NAUGHTY BOY DANCING QUEEN: EMBODIED AGENCY IN QUEER TRANSGRESSION AND CONCEPTUAL MUCHNESS Hank Bamberger May 2020 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts in Dance Sarah Lawrence College ABSTRACT This thesis aims to understand and glorify the transformative characteristics of theatrical transgressions and their lasting effects on performers and audiences in dance performance. In a history of queer transgression, artists have explored the concept of naughtiness in varied ways and through forms of embodied research, have attempted to activate unique landscapes for their own performative, excavational discoveries. By shifting modes of temperament within the stage arena, myself and others before me have attempted to achieve knee-jerk effects in live theater and concert dance in order to gain concretized levels of performative agency and authorship. Within this artistic genealogy, I pose the question: How can performances of conceptual muchness, defined as transgressing sensory (affective) and social norms, offer agency to a performer? This points to the possibility for creating utopias and dystopias in performance, where perfect worlds and destruction-based environments are formulated through surrealist structures and etherealized dreamscapes. These manifestations in my creative work are achieved through action-based doings and constitute an overt rejection of a white, patriarchal, hegemonic, cultural sphere that thrives on normativity. This project proposes that a performer can achieve agency through conceptual muchness: transgressive acts in performance that disrupt hegemonic norms of propriety by providing experiences of sensory overload and queer, overt resistance to assimilation.
