Nbc and Chevy Come Together NBC AND CHEVROLET COME TOGETHER TO CREATE BRANDED WINTER OLYMPIC PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGN AND ‘MINI-MOVIE’ FEATURING OLYMPIC HOPEFULS Chevy-sponsored Olympic Mini-movie to Premiere During Hit NBC Series “Las Vegas” and Then Jump to The Big Screen in Over 10,000 Movie Theaters Nationwide Through National CineMedia BURBANK – January 6, 2006 – NBC and Chevrolet teamed to combine brand and marketing strategies to create a mini-movie to promote NBC’s coverage of the upcoming Torino Winter Olympic Games. The mini-movie, which integrates Olympic hopeful athletes and Chevy vehicles into the fictional story of three American fans at the Torino Games, will premiere during the Monday, Jan. 9 (9-10 p.m. ET) original episode of NBC’s “Las Vegas” and subsequently will be presented by National CineMedia in more than 10,000 AMC Entertainment, Cinemark, Regal Cinemas, United Artists, Edwards and other select national theaters beginning January 13. For the first time in NBC’s 40-year history of broadcasting the Olympics, Olympic hopefuls will make a primetime cameo appearance prior to the Olympic Games. Playing themselves, 2002 Olympic snowboarding halfpipe gold medalists Kelly Clark and Ross Powers, along with Olympic hopeful and U.S. Open champion Gretchen Bleiler, join the cast of the sexy, fast-paced “Las Vegas.” In the hit drama, the three emphatic fans from the mini-movie are seen following the athletes around and vying for their attention. At a key point in the episode, the fans are whooshed -- “Las Vegas” style – halfway around the world to Torino, Italy and into the mini-movie. In addition to Bleiler, the mini-movie itself includes alpine skiers Erik Schlopy, Ted Ligety, and Julia Mancuso; freestyle moguls skier Toby Dawson and snowboard cross rider Seth Wescott. Following NBC’s primetime debut, the mini-movie will make the jump to the big screen as part of National CineMedia’s “FirstLook,” the digitally delivered in-theater pre-show program seen at top-grossing movie theaters across the U.S. from January 13 to February 9 -- the day before NBC broadcasts the Opening Ceremony from Torino. The mini-movie will also be cut down for 60-second promos to run on NBC. A special behind-the-scenes piece on the production of the mini-movie will be featured in January on NBCOlympics.com, Chevy.com and the TiVo showcase. “We're excited to be back in the movie theaters with this unique and entertaining promotional Olympic mini-movie,” said John Miller, Chief Marketing Officer, NBC Universal Television Group. “It’s a creative and winning showcase that will further personalize our Olympic hopefuls and will prove mutually beneficial to all of our participating partners.” “We’re excited to partner with NBC on the mini-movie and ‘Las Vegas’ show integration to help ramp up excitement for the 2006 Olympic Winter Games,” said Ed Peper, Chevrolet General Manager. “Chevrolet has been a proud supporter of the Olympic Games and the U.S. Olympic Team since the 1980 Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid. The mini-movie is a terrific way to communicate our support of our U.S. Ski and Snowboard athletes’ quest for gold in Torino and the ‘Las Vegas’ program is a great platform for its world premiere.” “As one of our ‘FirstLook’ partners, NBC is constantly raising the bar by creating fresh and innovative entertainment,” said Cliff Marks, president of sales and marketing at National CineMedia. “A mini-movie centered around Olympic hopefuls is the type of engaging, original content that works with the big screen format of our movie theaters, and something early arriving moviegoers will enjoy seeing.” Chevrolet is one of America’s most well-known and successful automotive brands. With the largest dealer network in the United States, Chevy is the leader in full-size trucks and the leader in sales of vehicles priced $35,000 and above. In addition, Chevrolet delivers more-than-expected value in every vehicle category, offering cars and trucks priced from $9,995 to $52,000. Offering dynamic yet timeless designs, Chevy owners demand great looks that don’t go out of style, high performance per dollar, and features expected in more expensive vehicles. Chevrolet’s global headquarters is at the GM Renaissance Center in Detroit. For more information, go to www.chevy.com.

  • Alana Nichols
    USG-Sponsored Team USA Athletes ALANA NICHOLS I love what I do. I absolutely love it, and I believe in myself. I really do believe that I can accomplish what I set out to accomplish. —Alana Nichols The words ‘courage’, ‘determination’ and ‘champion’ are used a lot when describing Olympians. But when it comes to Alana Nichols, those words have never been more accurate. At the age of 17, Alana Nichols was snowboarding during an annual family vacation in Colorado. Attempting an ambitious back flip on the snowy mountains, Alana over twisted, lost control and landed forcefully on a rock, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. The years that followed required tremendous courage and commitment as she recovered from this accident and became even stronger than she was before. While recuperating, Alana took an interest in the sport of wheelchair basketball. After two years of hard work and training, she found herself as an alternate for the U.S. Women’s Team during the 2004 Paralympic Games in Athens. Alana’s determination eventually led to her becoming a full-time member of the national team. And in 2006, she won her first silver medal at the 2006 Wheelchair Basketball Championship. In 2008, Alana was on the big stage again at the Paralympic Games, this time on a basketball court on the other side of the world, in Beijing, China. And that day, she and her teammates won Gold. But Alana, didn’t celebrate long. Instead, she moved to Colorado, with her eye set on an entirely different sport – Alpine skiing.

SULLIVAN United States Attorney Michael J. Pineault Anne G. Depew Assistant United States Attorneys One Courthouse Way, Suite 9200 Boston, MA 02210 (617) 748-3100 Dated: July 15, 2002 INTRODUCTION The United States opposes the defendants’ motions for summary judgment for a single, simple reason: the central factual issues raised by this case – whether the defendants’ stadium-style movie theaters provide people with disabilities with (i) “comparable” “lines of sight,” (ii) in locations that are an “integral part” of the fixed seating plan – are vigorously disputed. The government contends that the lines of sight are not comparable, based on facts demonstrating that a large number of the defendants’ theaters fail to provide wheelchair access to the elevated sight lines of the auditoriums’ full stadium risers. Instead, wheelchair users frequently are relegated to the inferior sight lines in the frontmost rows, much lower and closer to the screen. The government further contends that the wheelchair areas are segregated, in some instances due to walls and railings that physically separate them from other seats but also because of the de facto segregation that results from putting the wheelchair areas in inferior locations where most people choose not to sit. The defendants disagree with both of the foregoing assertions. Despite the parties’ material dispute over these core facts, the defendants have moved for summary judgment.

  • Sports of the Winter Olympics: Snowboarding
    Sports of The Winter Olympics: Snowboarding The Sport Packet #10 Halfpipe Competitors take off from the halfpipe’s rim, performing challenging aerial maneuvers, including flips, twists and spins. They complete each trick by traveling back and forth between the halfpipe’s walls. Athletes complete two runs. The event takes place in a semi-circular ditch, or half of a pipe, dug into the surface of a hill. The halfpipe is typically 110 meters long with 3 to 4 meter deep vertical sides, each on an 85 degree rounded slope. The width from wall to wall is 13 meters to 15 meters. The format for the men and women’s event is the same. Parallel Giant Slalom Two competitors race simultaneously side by side down two courses. They take two runs, switching sides after the first one. The setting of the courses, the configura- tion of the ground and the preparation of the snow must be as identical as possible. The format is the same for the men and women’s event. The vertical drop of the course must be between 120 meters and 200 meters. The number of turns should be equal to 11 percent to 15 percent of the vertical drop in meters. Athletes must navigate around gates, which are 20 meters to 25 meters apart. A gate consists of two poles - one outside pole and one turning pole. Triangular banners are fastened between the poles so lower edges of the flag touch the snow. The banner is 110 cm tall on its long side and 25 cm tall on the short side; its base length is 130 cm.
