  • Loggins and Messina
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JUNE 1, 2009 BOULEVARD CASINO PRESENTS LOGGINS AND MESSINA LIVE AT THE RED ROBINSON SHOW THEATRE FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30 Coquitlam, BC – Over thirty-five years since Sittin’ In together, Kenny Loggins and Jimmy Messina are in the early stages of putting together a new tour that picks up where 2005’s highly successful “Sittin’ In Again” reunion tour left off. All this shared activity marks the unexpected and unlikely return of the most successful duo of the early 70’s … a group whose most enduring songs were so well crafted that they have never really gone away. At the same time, Loggins & Messina find themselves rebuilding the personal connection that was lost long ago. Though Loggins and Messina’s first Greatest Hits collection was called The Best Of Friends, both men confess that their relationship has long been a complex and sometimes difficult one. When they first met, Messina was already a well-established success story having produced and played with the legendary band, Buffalo Springfield and later with the country-rock pioneers, Poco. Loggins meanwhile was a young singer-songwriter with far less experience but with talent to burn as evidenced by early compositions like “House At Pooh Corner” and “Danny’s Song.” Then in 1971, Sittin’ In – originally envisioned as a one-off joint release intended to introduce Loggins as part of a Messina six-album production deal with Columbia Records – became a smash hit. So by public demand, this accidental duo was created and released such hits as “Your Mama Don’t Dance,” “Thinking of You,” “Angry Eyes,” “My Music” and “Watching The River Run.“ By 1977, the duo who had sold sixteen million albums and became one of rock’s most popular draws went their separate ways to pursue solo careers and it wasn’t until 2005 that they decided to reunite for a summer tour.

(Nasdaq: ICON) (“Iconix” or the “Company”), today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its interest in the Peanuts and Strawberry Shortcake brands to DHX Media Ltd. for $345 million in cash, subject to a customary working capital adjustment. John Haugh, Chief Executive Officer of Iconix, said, “One of our strategic objectives has been to de-lever and strengthen our balance sheet. This sale aligns with this objective. As we monetize the value we have created in our entertainment business, we can reduce our debt and pay down a term loan that is expensive and highly restrictive. We are now focused on a second strategic objective of driving profitable revenue growth by focusing our resources on the businesses where we have a leadership position- fashion, active and home. Peanuts and Strawberry Shortcake are iconic entertainment properties, and we are proud of the contributions Iconix has made to these brands. Specifically with Peanuts, in partnership with the Schulz family, we have produced the first-ever feature film, delivered countless worldwide collaborations and significantly grown the worldwide presence of Peanuts.” The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this transaction plus additional cash on the balance sheet to pay down approximately $362 million of debt.

    in the american tree Silliman in the american tree Second Edition, with a new Afterword by Ron Silliman The “Language Poets” have extended the Pound-Williams (or perhaps the Pound-Williams- in the americanlanguage tree realism poetry Zukofsky-Stein) tradition in American writing into new and unexpected territories. In the process, these poets have established themselves as the most rigorous and the most radically experi- mental avant-garde on the current literary scene. This anthology offers the most substantial col- lection of work by the Language Poets now available, along with 130 pages of theoretic statements by poets included in the anthology. As such, In the American Tree does for a new generation of American poets what Don Allen’s The New American Poetry did for an earlier generation. The poets represented include Robert Grenier, Barrett Watten, Lyn Hejinian, Bob Perelman, Michael Palmer, Michael Davidson, Clark Coolidge, Charles Bernstein, Hannah Weiner, Bruce Andrews, Susan Howe, Fanny Howe, Bernadette Mayer, Ray DiPalma, and many others. “For millennia, poets have had to make their own way and the world that goes with it. The genius of these various writers and the consummate clartiy with which they are presented here make very clear again that not only is this the road now crucial for all poetry, it’s literally where we are going.” –Robert Creeley “This historic anthology brings into long-needed focus the only serious and concerted movement in American literature of the past two decades. It will be indispensible to anyone with interest in writ- ing’s present and hope for writing’s future.” –Peter Schjeldahl “Provocative in its critique and antidote, this collection invites the curious writer/reader to question all assumptions regarding generally agreed upon values of poetic language practices.

    Iconix Brand Group and Falic Group Join Forces to Create Iconix Latin America January 7, 2009 NEW YORK, Jan. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Iconix Brand Group, Inc.

New Brands is a member of The Falic Group, a Florida based consortium owned and operated by Simon, Jerome and Leon Falic. The joint venture company, Iconix Latin America, will focus on maximizing royalty revenue via existing and new licensing agreements for the Iconix portfolio of brands in Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean, which today number 16. In exchange for $6 million plus other commitments, New Brands received a 50% interest in the joint venture, which will also have an option to purchase rights to future brands acquired by Iconix. Neil Cole, Chairman and CEO of Iconix, commented, "We are pleased to announce the formation of Iconix Latin America with The Falic Group.

  • Structural Retrofitting in Historic Buildings – the Case of Hearst Greek Theatre, California
    International Journal of Engineering & Technology, 7 (1.4) (2018) 1-7 International Journal of Engineering & Technology Website: www.sciencepubco.com/index.php/IJET Research paper Structural retrofitting in historic buildings – the case of Hearst Greek theatre, California Kanika Bansal* Professor, Chitkara School of Planning & Architecture *Corresponding author E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A modification process after manufacturing or constructing is called Retrofitting. Within the existing built forms it refers to the transitions made to the systems in the building or the structure after it is constructed or put to its defined use. Within the present day context, there are many historic buildings that are still in use or have the potential for future use. These may not be sometimes used to their full potential, despite their historic character and environmental features as most of them do not satisfy the contemporary needs of the present day user. They may also have been built for a purpose that no longer exists or has changed and often lag behind today’s performance standards and codes. Therefore, for contemporary use of such historic buildings, Retrofitting for Rehabilitation is an opportunity for alterations and additions to suit it to the present day context. The most significant aspect of retrofitting is associated with structural refurbishment which aids for added strength, stability and safety of the historic buildings. Retrofitting measures in a historical building aims to improve the overall performance of the building, facilitate techniques to alter, repair or add to make the historic building fit for contemporary use without jeopardizing their historic qualities.
