| 'High School Musical 2' takes its blockbuster status seriously
This takes place amid songs, dancing, cute clothes and cutting loose during a summer when all his school's Wildcats work together at a scenic desert country club.
That moral-of-the-story springs from a discovery by Disney's "HSM"-meisters after the original became a blockbuster sensation. Their "Grease"- for-a-new-generation turned out to have a substantial impact on high school culture they hadn't anticipated from the simple tale of a hotshot basketball player who decides to try out for, yes, his high school musical.
Surprising response
"We just set out to do a fun story," scripter Peter Barsocchini said at the press tour, "but the feedback we're getting is it's having an influence of being inclusive, rather than exclusive, between athletes and drama kids." When the movie's athletes sang and danced with their round balls, it made such "artsy" activity seem, well, macho.
Your Comments : Natives misuse $40m: Ganilau
So we bank on our income from working the tourism industry to survive. Ranjit Singh of Nadi (61 days and 14 hours ago) The reporting maybe misquoting Ratu Ganilau. I pay $180.00 a year after a downpayment of $2,000.00. I have no idea how much of that money is coming the landonwner after NLTB takes out their share. It can be hard to swallow that kind of figure tossed around; in the millions especially when you take into account not only the NLTB cut but also that many tenants do not pay their rents. I think to solve the problem across the board we have to be honest in our all parties. The tenants, the NLTB, the chiefs. My personal view is to let me pay direct to my landowner's house. Truth & Freedom of New Zealand (61 days and 14 hours ago) The 40m sounds very big indeed but when the money goes around the mataqali it is not really much left.
Keller Rohrback L.L.P. Announces ERISA Investigation of the Merrill ...
SEATTLE, Nov. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Keller Rohrback L.L.P. (http://www.erisafraud.com) announces that it has commenced an investigation against Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. ("Merrill Lynch" or the "Company") (NYSE: MER) for potential violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). The investigation focuses on investments in Merrill Lynch stock by the Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan (the "Plan"). Keller Rohrback's investigation involves concerns that Merrill Lynch and other administrators of the Plan may have breached their ERISA-mandated fiduciary duties of loyalty and prudence to participants and beneficiaries of the Plan. A breach may have occurred if the fiduciaries failed to manage the assets of the Plan prudently and loyally by investing the assets in Company stock when it was no longer a prudent investment for participants' retirement savings.
Administering Pain
One thing that is almost always overlooked in assessing the value and the rewards of a 401(k) plan are the plan administrative fees that are charged to the participants. The largest enemies to your long-term savings through a 401(k) plan are excessive fees by the selected mutual funds. Another set of fees also is circling around your retirement funds, nibbling away at your savings and nearly invisible to the naked eye. These are the fees associated with running the 401(k) plan itself. Participants in 401(k) plans are currently not adequately informed about the fees associated with the day-to-day operational costs of running increasingly more complex plans. These fees include the costs of mailings and other record-keeping, telephone voice response systems, daily valuation services, educational seminars, retirement planning software -- and all the rest of the clutter.
Councilman MikeK Recalls Knievel Action Figure
Top: Young MikeK playing with Evel Knievel action figure; bottom: MikeK receives inspiration from his childhood friends before leaving for a Coeur d'Alene City Council meeting. I had a classic Evel Knievel motorcycle riding action figure when I was a kid. The stunts my brothers and I would stage for that motorcycle toy were legendary (riding out a second story window, chasing the dog around the house without getting chewed to ribbons, you name it). RIP Evel. I wonder what happened to Steve Austin, the Six Million Dollar Man who played the role of Evel's arch-nemesis in the boyhood action figure wars?/Councilman MikeK. Question: What was your favorite action figure/doll when you were little? .
Building An Appetite
IT'S YET ANOTHER PICTURE-PERFECT DAY AT THE PINEHILLS in Plymouth, and here in the community's Summerhouse, nine happy residents are chatting over crudites and pita chips. The Summerhouse is actually the sales and administrative center, the place where prospective home buyers begin scoping out neighborhoods in this nearly 3,200-acre planned development. As with everything else here, however, its faintly nostalgic facade - white clapboard with porch and cupola - melts into a landscape painstakingly fashioned as a designer version of classic old New England. The residents nestled on sofas in the lodgelike great room this fall afternoon are part of a focus group put together by the Pinehills marketing staff. Mainly women zooming through their retirement (one says she just returned from Amalfi, another announces a Vineyard cycling trip), they are here to let loose on the topic of food shopping: what they like about supermarkets, what really drives them crazy, and, most important, what they expect from The Market at Pinehills when it opens this spring.
Jordan feels deflated
Pete even ended up coming home because he wanted to be with the kids. It was all worth it though, because they look great." She is also rumoured to have had a nose job, at an estimated cost of $40,000 in America. Harley Street surgeon Aristolos Gaitanis told the Daily Mail: "It's obvious she's had rhinoplasty surgery. It's down to the difference in the profile. "Her profile used to be prominent, stronger. Now it is softer and prettier - it's the most popular sort of nose surgery." Perhaps Jordan, who prefers to be known as Katie Price, was prompted to scale down her look following the birth of her daughter Princess Tiáamii last year. Share this article What is this? .
Businessman Behind Bid For SPL Club Exposed As Pimp
A TYCOON trying to buy an SPL football club can today be exposed as a sleazy pimp luring women into prostitution. Neil MacGregor, 35, claims to be a wealthy ex-SAS officer with a bodyguard firm protecting Hollywood stars. Last week he launched a multi-million pound bid for Inverness Caledonian Thistle after a similar approach to Third Division Elgin City flopped. But we can reveal that MacGregor operates an internet escort agency hiring Scots girls to sell sex in the US porn industry. He was snared after trying to groom a Sunday Mail reporter, posing as a recruit, for a life of vice. Our investigator, who provided a fake CV and photo, agreed to meet MacGregor at Crieff Hydro Hotel in Perthshire but he fled after being confronted.
