The death toll from Hurricane Laura is now at 16, reported The Associated Press. Carbon monoxide poisoning due to unsafe operation of power generators killed more than half of the victims. © David J. Phillip/AP Buildings and homes are flooded in the aftermath of Hurricane Laura Thursday, Aug. 27, 2020, near Lake Charles, La. Thousands were left without power in the storm's aftermath. Officials warned residents along the Louisiana coast that they may face weeks without power or water. When Hurricane Laura hit Louisiana last week as a Category 4 storm with 150 mph winds, it was the strongest storm to hit the state since 1856. For all continental U.S. landfalling hurricanes, Laura tied for the fifth strongest to ever hit the U.S. Pressure wise, Laura was the fourth-strongest hurricane in U.S. history. Laura, while not as destructive as many forecasted, reached wind gusts of 137 mph in Lake Charles, Louisiana, caused a storm surge of 9 feet in the state and dropped 10 inches of rain in some areas. The deaths were mostly in Louisiana. Three men were killed by carbon monoxide poisoning in a pool hall in Port Arthur, Texas, according to the AP. Hurricane Laura also killed nearly two dozen people in Haiti and the Dominican Republic en route to the U.S. Gulf Coast. The storm also produced four tornadoes. Laura is still a tropical depression Friday morning, but is losing its tropical characteristics over Arkansas. However, the storm is still producing heavy rain and with the possibility of tornadoes. As of Friday evening, 485,192 customers in Louisiana, 106,801 in Texas and 26,373 in Arkansas remain without power in Laura's aftermath, according to poweroutage.us. A flash flood watch has been issued for Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky and Illinois, where some areas could see 3 to 5 inches of rain. What’s left of Laura will move through Mid-Mississippi Valley and into Ohio Valley Friday evening, bringing gusty winds, a flash flooding threat and a threat for a few tornadoes. Laura will combine with a cold front and will bring heavy rain and a threat for flash flooding to the Northeast Saturday from Philadelphia to New York City and into southern New England. Remnants of Laura will bring up to 5 inches of rain to the Mid-South region and up to 3 inches in the Northeast this weekend.

  • A Textual Analysis of the Closer and Saving Grace: Feminist and Genre Theory in 21St Century Television
    A TEXTUAL ANALYSIS OF THE CLOSER AND SAVING GRACE: FEMINIST AND GENRE THEORY IN 21ST CENTURY TELEVISION Lelia M. Stone, B.A., M.P.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2013 APPROVED: Harry Benshoff, Committee Chair George Larke-Walsh, Committee Member Sandra Spencer, Committee Member Albert Albarran, Chair of the Department of Radio, Television and Film Art Goven, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Stone, Lelia M. A Textual Analysis of The Closer and Saving Grace: Feminist and Genre Theory in 21st Century Television. Master of Arts (Radio, Television and Film), December 2013, 89 pp., references 82 titles. Television is a universally popular medium that offers a myriad of choices to viewers around the world. American programs both reflect and influence the culture of the times. Two dramatic series, The Closer and Saving Grace, were presented on the same cable network and shared genre and design. Both featured female police detectives and demonstrated an acute awareness of postmodern feminism. The Closer was very successful, yet Saving Grace, was cancelled midway through the third season. A close study of plot lines and character development in the shows will elucidate their fundamental differences that serve to explain their widely disparate reception by the viewing public.

Signed by the final Examining Committee: Chair Marc Steinberg Examiner Masha Salazkina Examiner Liz Czach Supervisor Kay Dickinson Approved by Chair of Department or Graduate Program Director Dean of Faculty Date: iii ABSTRACT The Profitable Purity of Robert Redford: Authenticity, Auteur Capital, and the Sundance Film Festival Matthew King This thesis, through the relationship between actor-director Robert Redford and the Sundance Film Festival, examines the dynamic between filmmakers and film festivals, and the effect the former can have on the latter’s public perception. Scholarship on the ties between festivals and filmmakers has been limited, often using Pierre Bourdieu’s concepts of field, capital, and habitus to focus on the festival’s ability to imbue a director with legitimacy and capital. While this study also uses Bourdieu’s theories as a foundation for understanding film festivals, it ultimately filters these concepts through a lens of star and auteur studies to look at the relationship the other way around: that is, how an auteur-star like Redford might affect a festival like Sundance, both economically and culturally.
