  • Elmore Leonard, 1925-2013
    ELMORE LEONARD, 1925-2013 Elmore Leonard was born October 11, 1925 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Due to his father’s position working for General Motors, Leonard’s family moved numerous times during his childhood, before finally settling in Detroit, MI in 1934. Leonard went on to graduate high school in Detroit in 1943, and joined the Navy, serving in the legendary Seabees military construction unit in the Pacific theater of operations before returning home in 1946. Leonard then attended the University of Detroit, majoring in English and Philosophy. Plans to assist his father in running an auto dealership fell through on his father’s early death, and after graduating, Leonard took a job writing for an ad agency. He married (for the first of three times) in 1949. While working his day job in the advertising world, Leonard wrote constantly, submitting mainly western stories to the pulp and/or mens’ magazines, where he was establishing himself with a strong reputation. His stories also occasionally caught the eye of the entertainment industry and were often optioned for films or television adaptation. In 1961, Leonard attempted to concentrate on writing full-time, with only occasional free- lance ad work. With the western market drying up, Leonard broke into the mainstream suspense field with his first non-western novel, The Big Bounce in 1969. From that point on, his publishing success continued to increase – with both critical and fan response to his works helping his novels to appear on bestseller lists. His 1983 novel La Brava won the Edgar Award for best mystery novel of the year.

Meeker and Chairman William S. Farish 1999 Annual Report 3 1999 was the year in which our planning and our commitment to excellence resulted in outstanding progress for Churchill Downs Incorporated. Aided by strategic acquisitions, we achieved record financial results, we reinforced our leadership in the racing industry, and we continued our development of a comprehensive simulcast product. These accomplishments underscore the value of our four-prong business strategy, which continues to guide us as we embark on an era in our industry that will be defined by marketing innovations and technological advances. With progress comes change. Two years ago, our operations were centered in Indiana and Kentucky. We now have five racetracks in four states, including California and Florida. The acquisitions of Calder Race Course and Hollywood Park more than tripled the size of our Company’s assets. In 1997, we had a staff of 325 full-time employees; now we employ 1,000 people full time. To support this growth, the integration of our new properties and any future expansion plans, the Company has built a strong managerial infrastructure, and we are dedicating considerable energies to develop cohesiveness in our practices, which allows us to share resources effectively.

  • Cowboy Up: the American Cowboy in Fact and Fiction Syllabus
    FSEM 100 Cowboy Up: The American Cowboy in Fact and Fiction Syllabus Semester Spring 2011 Lecturer Dr. Ron Scheer Email [email protected] Section 34604 Office JEF 261 Phone 213-740-1980 Time Mon 2:00 Office hours TTh 2:00 Fax 213-740-4100 Classroom WPH 201 and by appointment Course description The western has been a genre of American movies and popular literature for over a century. The stories told in this genre reflect values that are embedded in American culture. They are typically about men of strong character who represent a certain kind of moral order, and the story being told is about how they confront and overcome villains, outlaws, and other “bad guys” who are enemies of that order. It can be a black-and-white world of good vs. evil, or it can be a world where there are many shades of gray, so that it’s less easy to tell the difference. This conflict is typically played out on the American frontier, in the late 19th century (1865-1900), during the decades after the American Civil War. It is the era of cowboys, the growth of the cattle industry, the fencing of the open range, the demise of the buffalo herds, the final displacement of the Native American tribes, the building of cross- continental railroads, and rapid settlement of the frontier territories fed by waves of immigration and the availability of free land made possible by the Homestead Acts. The conflict in a western typically involves and is eventually resolved by violence – fistfights, gunfire, sometimes even explosives.

  • Churchill Downs and Keeneland Joint Venture Applies to Build $125 Million Racing Facility in Oak Grove, Kentucky
    Churchill Downs and Keeneland Joint Venture Applies to Build $125 Million Racing Facility in Oak Grove, Kentucky September 4, 2018 Proposed 2019 Standardbred Meet to be Hosted at old Louisville Downs Venue, with Future Meets to be Held at New Racing Facility in Oak Grove, Kentucky LEXINGTON, Ky., Sept. 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WKY Development, LLC – a joint venture between Churchill Downs Incorporated (“CDI”) (Nasdaq: CHDN) and Keeneland Association Inc. (“Keeneland”) – filed an application today with the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission (“KHRC”) requesting live standardbred racing dates at CDI’s old Louisville Downs racing venue located at Derby City Gaming (DCG) in Louisville for 2019 and in 2020 at its proposed venue in Oak Grove (Christian County). Proposed Facility in Christian County, KY This historic partnership between CDI and Keeneland is designed to strengthen and grow the standardbred racing circuit in Kentucky following last year’s closure of Thunder Ridge racetrack in Prestonsburg. The application is for a 10-day standardbred race meet in 2019 at CDI’s old Louisville Downs racing venue located at Derby City Gaming in Louisville. If approved, CDI and Keeneland will solely fund these purses as there has been no prior pari-mutuel activity to generate purse revenue for this meet. The 2019 meet is a critical, short-term measure to support the standardbred racing circuit and bridge the gap to future races in 2020 at the new Oak Grove racing venue. If approved by the KHRC, beginning in 2020, live standardbred racing would permanently move to the proposed Oak Grove venue in Christian County raising the profile of the Kentucky circuit and building larger purses in the process.

  • Looking Back: Elmore Leonard Elmore Leonard (B. Oct. 11, 1925
    Looking Back: Elmore Leonard Elmore Leonard (b. Oct. 11, 1925), American novelist & screenwriter, died on August 20. – Aug. 20, Leonard was best known for writing crime fiction: fast-paced novels about ex-cons, aspiring kidnappers, gun dealers and loan sharks, and the world-weary lawmen who chase them, often as not shaking their heads over how damned dumb criminals can be. For more about Leonard, his style, and best stuff, follow the link. Leonard was born in New Orleans, but his family moved frequently. In 1934, they settled in Detroit, which remained his home for the rest of his life. After serving in World War Two, he began his writing career while working with an advertising agency. His earliest novels were Westerns, but he went on to specialize in crime fiction and suspense thrillers. He became known as the Dickens of Detroit for the use of that locale in his stories. His best-known works include Get Shorty, Out of Sight, Rum Punch, Glitz, Cuba Libre and Mr. Majestyk. His western stories include ones that became the films Hombre and 3:10 to Yuma. In an article called ‘Why Elmore Leonard Matters,” Laura Williams said “his novels were always expertly plotted and sardonically funny” but what made it “impossible to forget about anything Elmore Leonard ever wrote was his voice.” His writing was short on description but filled with dialogue that “sounds exactly like the way people speak.” Like Mark Twain, Leonard believed he could “tell his readers everything worth knowing about Americans by showing them how we talk. In a 2001 essay, Leonard advised aspiring writers to “go easy on the adverbs” and skip the “hooptedoodle.

  • Quando Un Buon Giallo Può Anche Farci Divertire
    tutte le sfumaturee del Giallo 2011 99 ridens quando un buon giallo può anche farci divertire BIBLIOGRAFIA CON 123 TITOLI: • 66 DISPONIBILI A BRUGHERIO (19 NUOVI ACQUISTI) indicati in VERDE • 57 DISPONIBILI DAL SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO indicati in ARANCIONE buona lettura luglio 2013 - 1- Vi piacciono i gialli del commissario Montalbano? Se sì, la domanda successiva è: perché? Cioè a dire, qual è l’elemento vincente del Camilleri giallista? Un’ipotesi plausibile è che non sia uno o l’altro specifico elemento, ma l’insieme, dosato nella giusta misura, come nelle migliori ricette che mischiano sapientemente ingredienti diversi e anche contrastanti. C’è una trama, che è sempre un vero giallo, su cui si innesta una costante vena di umorismo, simpaticamente caricaturale come per Catarella, sarcasticamente macchiettistico come nel caso del Questore e dei suoi lacchè, esistenzialmente riflessivo come nei dialoghi interiori di Montalbano, aper- tamente comico in molti dialoghi (il “già fatto, commissario” di Fazio, per esempio) e nelle piccole manie dei personaggi. E in più Camilleri ci aggiunge uno sguardo più che attuale sul nostro paese, con tutti i suoi guai (non solo la mafia) e soprattutto un esperimento sulla lingua tra i più originali del panorama letterario. Unite gli in- gredienti, impiattate (dopo Masterchef ci tocca dir così) e servite al lettore, che si lec- cherà i baffi. L’esempio di Camilleri, che citiamo come modello ma non inseriamo nella nostra rassegna, ci aiuta a vedere che il genere giallo, nella sua evoluzione ed espansione sempre crescente, sa mischiarsi con altri registri, ottenendo (non sempre, per la ve- rità) un potenziamento del meccanismo narrativo e della soddisfazione del lettore.
