  • LUCAS CULTURAL ARTS MUSEUM MAYOR’S TASK FORCE REPORT | CHICAGO May 16, 2014
    THE LUCAS CULTURAL ARTS MUSEUM MAYOR’S TASK FORCE REPORT | CHICAGO May 16, 2014 Mayor Rahm Emanuel City Hall - 121 N LaSalle St. Chicago, IL 60602 Dear Mayor Emanuel, As co-chairs of the Lucas Cultural Arts Museum Site Selection Task Force, we are delighted to provide you with our report and recommendation for a site for the Lucas Cultural Arts Museum. The response from Chicagoans to this opportunity has been tremendous. After considering more than 50 sites, discussing comments from our public forum and website, reviewing input from more than 300 students, and examining data from myriad sources, we are thrilled to recommend a site we believe not only meets the criteria you set out but also goes beyond to position the Museum as a new jewel in Chicago’s crown of iconic sites. Our recommendation offers to transform existing parking lots into a place where students, families, residents, and visitors from around our region and across the globe can learn together, enjoy nature, and be inspired. Speaking for all Task Force members, we were both honored to be asked to serve on this Task Force and a bit awed by your charge to us. The vision set forth by George Lucas is bold, and the stakes for Chicago are equally high. Chicago has a unique combination of attributes that sets it apart from other cities—a history of cultural vitality and groundbreaking arts, a tradition of achieving goals that once seemed impossible, a legacy of coming together around grand opportunities, and not least of all, a setting unrivaled in its natural and man-made beauty.

  • Carrie Underwood,Sugith Varughese,Sofia Vergara,Kanye West
    Carrie Underwood Carrie Underwood won the fourth season of American Idol and quickly rose to fame. Before she became the sweet and sassy country superstar we know today, she was just a small town gal from Oklahoma who had never been on a plane and put her dream of singing on the back burner for a degree in broadcast journalism. Her future changed when she auditioned for American Idol during her senior year at Northeastern State University. She is one of the few Idol contestants to go on to have an overwhelmingly successful career, winning numerous Grammy Awards, Country Music Association Awards, and Academy of Country Music Awards. After winning American Idol, Carrie Underwood dated a few stars before finding The One. The country singer’s first serious celebrity relationship was with Dallas Cowboys quarterback, Tony Romo. They dated throughout 2007 before splitting up. She moved into a hot and heavy relationship and love with Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford for about a year before allegedly calling it quits via text message! Underwood then met and eventually married NHL player Mike Fisher in 2008. The couple lives in Nashville, where Fisher plays for the Nashville Predators, and welcomed their first child — a celebrity baby son named Isaiah Michael — on February 27, 2015. Sugith Varughese Sugith Varughese is an Indian-born Canadian actor, writer and director that has worked on notable television shows and films, such as Degrassi: The Next Generation, Little Mosque on the Prairie and The Strain. In 2002, Varughese won a Writers Guild of Canada award for his work on the animated film Talespinners Collection I.

    2016 U.S. Women’s Football Leagues Addendum New Mexico Adult Football League – Women’s Division (NMAFL-W) – 2015 Season The NMAFL-W launched in 2015 with five teams in New Mexico. The Alamogordo Aztecs failed to complete the season, while the Amarillo Lady Punishers joined the league late and absorbed four forfeit losses before even getting out of the gate. But the Lady Punishers were formidable once they got started, upsetting the previously undefeated Roswell Destroyers in the playoffs to make it to the first NMAFL-W title game. That opened the door for the Santa Fe Dukes to swoop in and capture the NMAFL-W championship at the conclusion of the league’s first season.
