Dear Friends, I would like to invite you to participate in our 2012 Celebrity Golf Tourna- ment on Thursday, September 13th. I have worked with the March of Dimes for nearly forty years as a volunteer and spokesman. I can’t think of anything more important or heroic than to help save a baby’s life. This year we hope to raise a record $900,000, which will bring our eight-year total to $5.2 million. I want to thank everyone for their commitment, generosity and hard work. Special thanks to our Chair Frank Falciani, Vice Chairs: Fred Johs, Tom Kennedy, Pat Maas, Adam Mandel, Steve Napolitano, Vincent Parziale, Dr. Gabe San Roman and Brian Trematore, the executive and volunteer golf committees and our sponsors for making this one of the best golf tournaments in the country. We will be playing at one of the premier golf courses in the country - Bethpage State Park. Joining us will be an all-star line-up of 80+ sports and entertainment celebrity golfers that have generously volunteered their time to our cause. I can promise that you will be treated to a first class and rewarding experience, while helping thousands of babies and their families here in the New York area. Today, 1 of every 8 babies born will be premature and will need our help. By participating in this tournament and supporting the March of Dimes, you are a champion for babies. Thank you and I look forward to seeing you on the links. Warm Regards, Joe Namath Celebrity Host BETHPAGE STATE PARK Located on Long Island in Farmingdale, New York, Bethpage State Park is one of the premier public golf facilities in the world. With five courses, the complex is among the busiest golf facilities in the United States. The Red and Blue Course annually host a variety of major local amateur and professional events. The Black Course, however, is clearly the crown jewel of the five. The selection by the USGA as the site of the 2002 and 2009 US Open clearly has moved the Black Course and Bethpage into the world golf spotlight. Bethpage will also host the 2012 Barclays. The three courses you will be playing (Blue, Red and Yellow) are all first class and were designed by A.W. Tillinghast and Alfred H. Tull, two of the most prolific architects in the history of golf.

It's always been a money maker for Pauley - Tony's father, Johnny Soprano, had control over him before him - but a new parish priest believes that the $10,000 Poly contributes as the church's share is too low and believes $50,000 would be more appropriate. Pauley shies away from that figure, at least in part, he says, because his own spending is rising. One thing he does to save money to hire a second course of carnival rides, something that comes back to haunt him when one of the rides breaks down and people get injured. Pauley is also under a lot of stress after his doctor dislikes the results of his PSA test and is planning a biopsy. When Christopher's girlfriend Kelly tells him he is pregnant, he asks her to marry him. He is still struggling with his addiction however and falls off the wagon.

    THE INTERSECTION OF GENDER AND ITALIAN/AMERICANESS: HEGEMONY IN THE SOPRANOS by Niki Caputo Wilson A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL December 2010 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I could not have completed this dissertation without the guidance of my committee members, the help from my friends and colleagues, and the support of my family. I extend my deepest gratitude to my committee chair Dr. Jane Caputi for her patience, guidance, and encouragement. You are truly an inspiration. I would like to thank my committee members as well. Dr. Christine Scodari has been tireless in her willingness to read and comment on my writing, each time providing me with insightful recommendations. I am indebted to Dr Art Evans, whose vast knowledge of both The Sopranos and ethnicity provided an invaluable resource. Friends, family members, and UCEW staff have provided much needed motivation, as well as critiques of my work; in particular, I thank Marc Fedderman, Rebecca Kuhn, my Aunt Nancy Mitchell, and my mom, Janie Caputo. I want to thank my dad, Randy Caputo, and brother, Sean Caputo, who are always there to offer their help and support. My tennis friends Kathy Fernandes, Lise Orr, Rachel Kuncman, and Nicola Snoep were instrumental in giving me an escape from my writing. Mike Orr of Minuteman Press and Stefanie Gapinski of WriteRight helped me immensely—thank you! Above all, I thank my husband, Mike Wilson, and my children, Madi and Cole Wilson, who have provided me with unconditional love and support throughout this process.

  • REPRESENTING 9/11 in the SOPRANOS a Thesis by VITO V
    “SPEAK ABOUT DESTRUCTION”: REPRESENTING 9/11 IN THE SOPRANOS A Thesis by VITO V. PETRUZZELLI Submitted to the Cratis D. Williams School of Graduate Studies Appalachian State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2015 Department of English “SPEAK ABOUT DESTRUCTION”: REPRESENTING 9/11 IN THE SOPRANOS A Thesis by VITO V. PETRUZZELLI December 2015 APPROVED BY: Craig Fischer, Ph.D. Chairperson, Thesis Committee Germán Campos-Muñoz, Ph.D. Member, Thesis Committee Başak Çandar, Ph.D. Member, Thesis Committee Carl Eby, Ph.D. Chairperson, Department of English Max C. Poole, Ph.D. Dean, Cratis D. Williams School of Graduate Studies Copyright by Vito V. Petruzzelli 2015 All Rights Reserved Abstract “SPEAK ABOUT DESTRUCTION”: REPRESENTING 9/11 IN THE SOPRANOS Vito V. Petruzzelli B.A., Rutgers University M.A., Appalachian State University Chairperson: Craig Fischer Broadly definable as an interdisciplinary study of televisual texts, literature, and history, this thesis analyses David Chase’s The Sopranos (1999-2007) and its engagement of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. Tracing the show’s narrative and aesthetic roots to its pilot episode, I explore how narrative and aesthetic elements contained in 9/11 television newscasts elicited both an alteration and an exaggeration of the show’s structural and symbolic elements. Furthermore, I illustrate the impact of televisual mediation on the act of viewership, demonstrating the manner in which The Sopranos and 9/11 newscasts employed authoritative narrative perspectives as a means of disseminating vital information to viewers. Methodologically, I employ a narratological approach to show through close textual analysis how elements of location and sequential ordering inform the creation of unique story worlds, and how these story worlds operate symbiotically with viewers in creating meanings beyond the texts.
