Apple hits the mark again with iPad 3

Apple’s iPad has quickly become the hottest computer on the market. The company hopes to bring in everyone who has stayed off the bandwagon with its newest third-generation tablet.

The new iPad’s screen is a sight to behold.

The resolution has been bumped up four Chris times to display Pittman a 2048x1536 iSpy resolution.

That’s 3.1 million pixels crammed together in the lovely 9.7-inch screen.

This amount qualifies the screen as a retina display, which simply means your eye cannot see the individual pixels. A crisp, clean picture makes web-browsing even more enjoyable.

Many developers have already upgraded their applications to take advantage of this beautiful display. And within a few short months, almost all apps should be retina-friendly.

One of the worst faults the previous generations dealt with

was how the tablet handled iPhone-only apps. If you choose to view an iPhone app at full screen, it looked pixelated and awful.

Not anymore.

The retina display of the new iPad makes even iPhonedesigned software look fantastic.

The iPad’s camera received a tremendous upgrade to five megapixels.

However, that’s not the best addition for photos on the tablet.

Apple has crammed several advanced optic measures found in many high-quality cameras to give photos a razor-sharp look.

You’ll still look funny taking pictures with a computer, though.

Now that iPhoto has found its way to the App Store, the iPad has become one of the best tools for photo editing.

The camera can also shoot 1080P HD video. Video stabilization measures were added to prevent shaky, “Blair Witch Project”-styled films.

The biggest addition to the new iPad is support for 4G LTE

Special to The Star

wireless connectivity on both Verizon and AT&T networks.

LTE can provide Internet download speeds close to 72megabits per second. That is faster than any Internet provider in the area.

Those wishing to use 4G LTE will need to buy the iPad model designed as such. An extra monthly data fee is required, but no contract is needed.

Music

Anniston and its surrounding counties do not have 4G LTE support on any of the mobile providers. It’s very likely that we will not see it arrive until next year.

Fortunately, the device also supports 3G, so you’ll still be able to get a mobile data plan if desired.

The final addition is called dictation, a voice-controlled way to type an email, note or

‘NOT JUST STRUMMING CHORDS’ Rigney Family Bluegrass Band to be taped for Dugger Mountain TV

BY ERIN WILLIAMS Special to The Star

While the bones of the Rigney Family Bluegrass Band are tightly fused by a mutual love for strumming, it was the doing away of it that helped banjo player Mark Rigney land his future wife, Melissa.

The two met while students Grant.

It wasn’t long before the family was asked to play local events, and before they knew it, the Rigneys became a full-fledged quartet.

“We never really intended to start a band, it just kind of happened,” Melissa remembers of their natural progression. “We’ve had a really fun time doing it.”

The family decided to test the musical waters in 2008 when they released their first album, “Stone County.” Their talent has since led to two additional albums and has taken them across the world, where they have played international festivals in France and Spain. And while the band has

gained momentum in past years, pursuing it full time is something that remains in the hands of a higher power.

“I’m never going to say never … for the most part, we have really put this in God’s hands,” Mark said. “We have pursued many opportunities, but really we give God the credit and the glory for the success that we’ve had.”

The experience has allowed for their children to see the world and learn how to run a business.

Mark primarily handles the booking, Melissa works on advertising and web maintenance, and Grant stocks their CDs and keeps an eye on the money when they perform. Andrew has been able

to develop his talent for writing and arranging, and coined three songs on their September release, “Familiar Paths.”

“We’ve tried to spread it out a little bit between us, and that way our sons are getting a lot of experience as well, and it’s not too much for any one person to take care of,” Melissa said.

The family has no plans to stop performing together, even when Andrew begins his freshman year of college at nearby Lipscomb University in the fall.

“The band has been very important to them, and they take it very seriously, and they work very hard at it,” Melissa said of her children’s unchanged interest in performing. “They’re the ones who really want the band to succeed and strive and grow.”

Whatever the future holds, the relationship that Mark maintains with his wife seems solid at its core — attributed in no small part to Melissa and the banjo. “I’m just thankful she’s put up with me for 25 years.”

Country stars stampede to studio to help Richie

By Chris Talbott Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Kenny Chesney was so excited about the idea of working with Lionel Richie that he drunk-dialed the pop legend to suggest a song. Darius Rucker tossed aside a lyric sheet in the studio, saying he’d been preparing for the moment his entire life.

And so many people were clamoring to get on the project that stars like Keith Urban and Brad Paisley didn’t even make the cut — this time.

It’s not surprising that a musician would consider working with Richie a dream: The Grammy and Oscar winner is considered one of music’s all-time greats, having sold more than 22 million albums over a career that has spanned nearly four decades, from his time as a member of The Commodores to his illustrious solo career. Richie has also penned classics that include “Endless Love,” “All Night Long” and “Say You, Say Me.” But the excitement over his country duets album also reflects Richie’s deep roots — and remarkable success — in the genre. Richie wrote one of country music’s enduring hits, Kenny Rogers’ “Lady,” and Conway Twitty’s take on the Commodores’ “Three Times A Lady” became a huge country hit. In addition, Richie collaborated with Alabama on “Deep River Woman,” another song that became a country classic.

So mix Richie’s rich pop history with his country music legacy, and you can see why his return to his country roots on the new duets album “Tuskegee,” named after his hometown in Alabama, is creating such a buzz in Nashville.

“It’s kind of surreal,” said Jason Aldean, who cut “Say You, Say Me” on the album. “I mean, he was one of the biggest stars on the planet when I was growing up. And to be in the studio with him and to have gotten to be friends with him over the last year, it’s just crazy.”

Richie was mobbed on the red carpet at the Country Music Association Awards last year, he was feted and joined by Rogers at South By Southwest Music Festival earlier this month in Austin, Texas, and he’ll receive a salute from the Academy of Country Music when he appears on Sunday’s awards show (he’s also the subject of its annual television special, which airs April 13).

Richie says his multi-genre success can be boiled down to one thing — sto-

Mark Humphrey/Associated Press/File

Lionel Richie is reaping what he sowed during his dalliance with country music 30 years ago with the release of ‘Tuskegee,’ a country duets album named for his hometown in Alabama. rytelling.

“The storytelling is the same,” he said.

“I have always said the honesty is in the lyrics, the honesty is in what’s the story about, whether you put a steel guitar in the middle of it or whether you leave the steel guitar out or put a choir in the background, or guitar or saxophone solo. It’s still the same.”

Chesney remembers Richie being on the mixtape that successfully won the

high school student the heart of a girl.

“Penny Lover” was the dominant song of the time and he was a fan of “My Love.”

Chesney intended to claim the latter song immediately after deciding to join the project following a few bottles of wine.

“I just decided that I was going to call Lionel and tell him I wanted to sing on his record,” Chesney said. “It was a pretty spirited voicemail, I can tell you that,

because I actually sang the verse and like half of the song of ‘My Love’ onto his voicemail.”

Richie took up the duets idea for his first album since 2009’s “Just Go.” When the California resident arrived in Nashville, to his surprise he found they still made music the way they did when he first hit town back in the early 1980s.

They played their instruments live in the studio, made decisions on the fly, with no preprogrammed tracks and few preconceived notions. He felt comfortable and familiar for the first time in years. And before he realized it, he was turning the keys over to each new friend he brought into the studio, telling them to remake the song in their image.

“The most important thing was, we don’t change the melody,” the 62-yearold singer said. “We may change a little bit of the arrangements, but we didn’t change where the crowd comes in. So, yes we changed ‘Say You, Say Me’ from this anthemic thing to a little bit of a ‘Lay Lady Lay’ kind of feel, but the crowd still knows where to come in. ... I wanted to put a little thing in there where each of my guest artists felt like they weren’t copping out.”

He let Tim McGraw turn “Sail On” from a gentle letdown into something much more final. Willie Nelson somehow makes “Easy” even mellower. And with Rascal Flatts, it was about bringing even more energy to “Dancing on the Ceiling.” So he invited them to play the track, not just cut the vocal.

“I don’t know if you can even sum it up,” Rascal Flatts lead singer Gary LeVox said. “He’s just a musical icon and a legend. And to be able to call him friend now and to watch him work in the studio, the whole time you’re watching him work with (producer) Dann Huff and throwing out ideas and all this, you can’t help but picture ‘We Are The World’ while it’s going down.”

Richie is so pleased with the success, he’s planning a second volume with stars that missed out the first time around.

And he’s so energized he’s thinking about recording new material. In Nashville, it turns out, Richie found something he thought he’d lost.

“I’m probably as comfortable in my own space and in my own skin in the music world as I’ve been in 15 or 20 years,” Richie said, “because here, they specialize in melody here. Singers, melody, stylists. Not acrobatics.”

‘Mirror’ only a fair take on fairy tale

Universal Pictures via Associated Press

ulia Roberts portrays the evil queen, left, and Lily Collins portrays Snow White in a scene from “Mirror, Mirror.”

By Christy Lemire

from screenwriters Marc Klein and Jason Keller from a story by Melisa Wallack. It begins with the beautiful, innocent Snow Julia Roberts chews up the scenery White (Lily Collins, daughter of Phil), and spits it back out again with great brio who’s just turned 18, trapped in her bedin her first truly villainous role as the evil room in a castle perched high on a preQueen in “Mirror, Mirror.” cipitous cliff.

Associated Press

Mirror mirror HH rating: PG for some fantasy action and mild rude humor.

Running time: 1:46 Starring: Julia Roberts, Lily Collins and Armie Hammer

But fortunately, into her kingdom comes the young, gorgeous, single and (more importantly) wealthy Prince Alcott (Armie Hammer in a perfect bit of casting; he seems game to make fun of his all-American good looks). The Queen tries to woo him with a lavish ball, but the Prince only has eyes for Snow, whom he’d encountered briefly in the forest earlier that day when neither of them realized the other was, you know, royal. (The wedding she plans for him looks like something that could take place in the Capitol

of “The Hunger Games,” with its foppish guests dressed in garishly colorful, overthe-top costumes and makeup.)

When the Queen tries to have Snow killed out of jealousy, the young beauty escapes and makes a new home with the Seven Dwarves, who get actual back stories and some of the film’s funnier lines.

None of them is named Dopey or Doc, but they do give Snow a tough-girl makeover, complete with the obligatory training montage.

Collins has a lovely screen presence — she’s got this young Audrey Hepburn thing going — but she lacks a certain oomph, even after her character has learned to fight and supposedly found her inner strength. Roberts rules her at every turn, even when she flashes that iconic smile in cruel fashion. She seems to be reveling in playing a role that’s such a departure; that sense of joy only sporadically finds its way to the rest of the film.

In celebration of the opening of “Mirror, Mirror,” AmStar Cinema in Oxford is hosting “The Fairest Weekend of Them All” Saturday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. The event will feature free food from CiCi’s Pizza, Chick-fil-a and others, as well as a candy apple buffet, midway games and a balloon bounce and prize giveaways.

Perhaps Liebesman, whose previous movie was the grim “Battle: Los Angeles,” is too drawn to the spectacle of battle to find the balance of camp and seriousness a patently ludicrous film such as “Wrath of Titans” seeks.

No losers here

With its latest production, The Ritz hopes for a return to glory and establishes what could be a lasting partnership

By Brett Buckner Special to The Star

Sometimes, even losers win. Such is the inspiring premise for the upcoming musical, “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” which will run April 5 and 6 at the historic Ritz Theatre in Talladega.

The show follows an adorable cast of underdogs — the geeks, outcasts, misfits and social rejects — who all spell their way to glory (along with a trophy and a $200 savings bond) and along the way discover that being normal isn’t all it’s cracked up to be and that being quirky is what makes them special.

“People might want to think this is a children’s show, but it’s not,” explained George Culver, executive director for The Ritz. “It’s actually pretty adult.”

In fact, Culver had to convince the show’s director to make a minor change to one of the songs so as not to offend the audience.

The song “My Unfortunate Erection,” is now “My Unfortunate Situation.”

“We just wanted to be careful,” Culver said. “And the company was great about making the change … really wasn’t a big deal.”

That’s a good sign, because if all things go

“The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” When: April 5 and 6 at 7 p.m.

Where: The Ritz Theatre, 115 Court Square N., Talladega Cost: $18 for adults and $10 for students (18 and under) Contact: 256-315-0000 or visit www.talladegaritz.com according to plan, this may be the beginning of an ongoing collaboration.

“The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” is being performed and produced by Birmingham’s Red Mountain Theater Company.

“It just made sense,” Culver said. “We wanted to set the precedent and see where it goes from there.”

It’s not the first time the two theaters have shared talent and performance space. Some three years ago, The Ritz hosted a performance of Red Mountain’s production of “Godspell.” And while this isn’t necessarily a touring show, the opportunity to play venues beyond the norm is a tremendous experience for the actors, said Red Mountain’s executive director Keith Cromwell.

“We’re motivated to get our artists as much growth and exposure as possible,” he said. “Just the idea that

you can create art and have it consumed by another community is very exciting. I’d love for Red Mountain to be all over this state, to create a product that becomes available to audiences everywhere, and I believe we’ve got the talent to do that.

“Hopefully, this is just the start.”

It’s something of a new beginning for The Ritz as well. The historic theater had fallen on hard financial times in recent years, and there were concerns that it might have to close.

But with Culver’s return following three years at the Birmingham Children’s Theater, plans are in the works to, as Culver calls it, “reboot the Ritz.”

“I had a wonderful three years (in Birmingham) and truly felt comfortable that I’d accomplished everything there that I’d set out to do,” he said. “I’m a local guy. When I heard that

Special to The Star

The cast of Red Mountain Theater Company’s production of ‘The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee’ is shown. The musical runs April 5-6 at the historic Ritz Theatre in Talladega.

The Ritz might go under, I knew I had to get home and help set things right again.”

Part of that new dawn is with the collaboration with Red Mountain Theater Company. The Ritz is also planning on hosting a couple of national touring productions — one for “Fiddler on the Roof” and another of “Biloxi Blues” — in the near future.

The Ritz has recently expanded, adding more than 100 seats to its balcony. But perhaps the most appreciated renovation will be the upgrade to a HVAC climate control system in the theater, which will open new windows of possibility for the Ritz.

“We’ll be able to offer shows 12 months a year,” Culver said, adding that the theater will likely close

for a couple of months starting in May to complete the overhaul. “Now, we won’t have to worry about hosting shows in the heat of summer or the chill of winter. We’ll have a lot more flexibility.

“With that … they’ll be no stopping us. We’re going to get The Ritz back to where it was.”

Firstly, the novel is set not decades in the future, but in a fictional reimagining of our present, where an escalated financial meltdown in the West has ushered in an unparalleled age of prosperity and, consequently, fascism, for the people of China.

Though Koonchung’s concerns, in the novel, seem valid, and they obviously rattled a few Party members, the author handles his agenda artlessly, causing “The Fat Years” to seem less like a sci-fi novel and more like a lead-footed political exposé.

With readily available technologies for making books emerging in tandem with online markets for selling books, self-publishing has become a robust and lively business. “What you’re seeing in publishing is this remarkable transformation,” Young said. “It’s creating a huge number of additional authors who want to be heard, and it’s putting pressure on the publishers to reduce the number of authors they pay to do the work.”

Amanda Hocking was one of those authors who wanted to be heard. Hocking — who now has a deal with St. Martin’s — initially went the self-

publishing route. From Austin, Minn., far from the publishing industry, she self-published 10 urban fantasy, paranormal romance and vampire novels, grossing about $2 million.

But most such authors won’t reap Hocking-style financial rewards. In fact, they risk losing money on their books.

Self-publishing inverts the longstanding publishing model: Where authors have traditionally been paid by publishers, self-publishing asks authors to pick up the tab.

“No one will know if getting the author to pay for his book is going to work better than getting the publisher to pay,” Young said.

No one knows exactly who might pay the $100,000-plus cost of a book with Venture Press. As yet, the company, launched March 9, has not signed up any clients.

Parker Memorial to present Easter play Sunday Where did the Samaritan woman go after telling the people in her city about her meeting with Jesus?

How did her purpose in life change after her remarkable conversation Hervey with her Folsom new-found Lord at Artists in Action Jacob’s well?

The Gospel of John, in chapter 4, doesn’t give the answers. But the passage notes that this woman with a sordid past believed she had found new peace from this stranger who was Christ at the well. She couldn’t keep silent about this encounter; she wanted to share with all the news of the living water for the soul that she needed so desperately. And she did.

In Parker Memorial Baptist Church’s musical drama “Never Thirst Again: The Promise of Easter,” to be presented Sunday at 6:30 p.m., the writers base their story on the supposition the Samaritan woman later followed Christ to Galilee and then to Jerusalem.

The drama is about Jesus’ death and resurrection, told from the viewpoint of the woman of Samaria who came to draw water from the well.

Some commentaries state that she probably became an ardent Christian missionary.

Others state that her witness, “Come and see!” to the people in her town was the extent of her new mission. At any rate, the drama holds forth that she became an active follower of The Savior.

Katie Edwards, left, and Sylvia Malone portray two versions of the same Samaritan woman in Parker Memorial Baptist Church’s production of ‘Never Thirst Again: The Promise of Easter.’

“She could have easily been at the crucifixion,” said Sylvia Malone, one of the two narrators in the drama. “And she could have spoken with the women coming back from the empty tomb. The Bible doesn’t say that she was in these places. But, it doesn’t say that she wasn’t.”

Two actresses/narrators portray the main Samarian woman, who is called “Anna” in this interpretation. The older one, played by Sylvia Malone, looks back on the events after the resurrection, while the younger one, played by Katie Edwards, plays out the meeting with the man who gives her new hope.

After that, she hurries into town to share the news with all who will hear.

Edwards said she is enjoying the challenge of playing such a powerful role.

“This woman was searching for something, but she wasn’t sure what she needed,” she said.

“Later, she marveled that her life had been changed during such a routine day in a place that she trudged to every day.”

That change, Edwards believes, is the beauty of the writers’ intent.

“To me, the point is that Christ comes to us wherever we are in life, and he knows just what we need.”

Gober believes this is one of the best public offerings the church has had during his ministry there.

“The message is tremendous,” he said. “And, surprisingly, it’s presented in only 45 minutes.”

and AT&T units featuring 4G LTE cost an additional $120 per model.

The new iPad isn’t a huge upgrade over the 2, but is still recommended to those that use their tablet often.

Those without the device or original iPad owners should jump in immediately.

Apple’s tablet is still the best on the market, and the competition isn’t even close.

Rock is Art benefit concert to feature 6 bands with proceeds going toward Cheaha Creative Arts

By Brett Bucker Special to The Star

Devin Williams knows the power of music education.

The classically trained violist was raised around music. There were guitars and drums all around the house and his earliest memories of his father, who was on tour when Williams was born, were of watching him play guitar. While he might have been born with music coursing through his DNA, Williams credits string programs in elementary and middle school with strengthening his passion for music.

That passion will be on display Saturday night when his band, Jerolyn, shares the Crimson Tiger stage with five other bands performing for the Rock is Art fundraiser, benefiting Anniston’s Cheaha Creative Arts, Inc. CCA is an afterschool arts education program located in the historic Kilby House beside Anniston High School that hosts classes in music, visual arts, sewing and quilting along with future plans for both ballet and yoga classes.

ROCK IS ART

What: Benefit concert for Cheaha Creative Arts When: 5 p.m.-2 a.m. Saturday Where: Crimson Tiger, 1003 Noble St., Anniston Cost: $5, ages 19 and up “This kind of (music program) is essential for kids,” Williams said. “I’m proud to help an organization like this because I came from an organization like this.”

Formed in 2007, Jerolyn is a “five-piece, melodic metalcore” band from Gadsden. And while they may be the “odd ball … metal-heads” in Saturday’s lineup that also includes Sensemakesdollars, Wa Wa Wa, The Polar Grizzlies, Drexel and Secondhand Jones, Williams is looking forward to hearing the variety of rock bands sharing the same stage.

“Diversity is always a good thing,” he said. “It expands our own musical horizons. If you stay within the same genre for too long, it’s easy to get stagnant. Shows like this help to keep us fresh.”

And there’s no real competition between the bands, with each bringing its own unique style to the show, says John Medders, guitarist/vocalist for the classic rockinfluenced Secondhand Jones.

“For me, it’s not competitive at all,” he said. “This town is way too small for bands to be competitive. That’s just the hippie in me, but it makes me happy to see everyone coming together to play music … and the fact that it’s all for such a good cause makes it that much better.”

Founded by Rose Munford in September 2010, the goal of CCA is to use the arts to enrich the lives of young people by offering affordable classes taught by respected instructors. Whether it’s learning to play the violin or the piano, to sew or plié, these children are being welcomed into a world of possibilities that is quietly disappearing from the public school system, says Julie Brown, CCA marketing director.

“I am organizing this fundraiser because I believe this education program is a rare gem for Anniston,” she said. “Arts are the first thing to get cut from the budget at the school systems, and I really think the community will only thrive with arts in it.”

As president of CCA, Munford has witnessed first-

hand the effect the arts has in the lives and outlooks of these children. In December, several students from the organization’s violin and piano classes performed a Christmas concert at Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church. In a sanctuary filled with proud parents and grandparents as well as community members, she saw the children come into their own. During that concert, the CCA made its name.

“Those children were so pleased with themselves,” Munford remembered. “Ever since that performance, we can see the maturity in their eyes — just the idea that they now see themselves as performers. It’s the kind of thing that changes lives.”

But to keep the programs afloat, CCA needs all the help in can get. That’s why fundraising events like Rock is Art is so vital.

“This isn’t a daycare. This isn’t a playground. This is a place for kids who really want to learn,” Munford said.

“And right now, funds are really tight. The city gave us $5,000, but we always need more … hopefully, this concert will give us some breathing room.

“Every little bit helps because every little bit goes to those kids.”

Meanwhile, Nealon, best known to A: I kind of look at stand-up a lot audiences these days as the morally like how a blues musician is: You really challenged Doug Wilson on Showhave to live life for a while before there time’s “Weeds,” will return to playing is something interesting to say.

A: Yes, there’s definitely some confusion when it comes to Kevin and Doug. Doug Wilson — what a complete irresponsible degenerate.

Sometimes people that come to my show are expecting Doug Wilson, but I’m not, thankfully, really the train wreck that he is.

A: I’m not really one of those ranting comics like Bill Burr, Dennis Miller or Denis Leary, where I’d probably have a whole list of things to fire off about.

I think this year’s main focus will end up being around the presidential election and all those negative ads. One of my big beefs is with those Super PACs (political action committees) where corporations are getting as much out of politics as possible. There are also a lot of people putting pressure on President Barack Obama. You know, it’s all about the economy. I don’t think we’d be in this position, frankly, if Wesley Snipes had just paid his taxes.

Pop culture Q&A

‘Revenge’ takes a breather but it will be back on ABC

TV CROSSWORD

By Rich Heldenfels Akron Beacon Journal

Q: Has “Revenge” been taken off TV? A: If you mean canceled, the answer is no. The show has been on hiatus but will return to ABC on April 11. As I mentioned in a recent mailbag, the television season has far more weeks than TV series have new episodes. Some shows, especially those dependent on plot surprises, do not repeat well because the audience already knows the twists. So they often take breaks instead of repeating.

Q: One night I saw a movie with Melanie Griffith as a cop going undercover in a Hasidic household in Brooklyn. I know my husband would love it but I don’t know its name or if it’s available. I’ve enclosed an envelope in case you can help.

A: That is “A Stranger Among Us,” from 1992. It was released on DVD; although it does not appear to be in current release, I have seen old copies for sale on Amazon.com. That site also has it available on streaming video.

Also, please save your postage and do not include self-addressed, stamped envelopes with your questions. I cannot promise individual replies.

Q: A friend and I are each watching the new show “Awake.” My friend believes that the son is the only one who died in the crash. I have a feeling that both his wife and son died. There are scenes that show the wife interacting with others when the husband isn’t present.

So my friend is probably correct.

Also is the male psychotherapist real and the female one a dream?

I think the storyline is almost too difficult to follow. I may lose interest if I can’t figure out the basics.

A: Based on a line in the premiere, I, too, suspected that both the wife and son died. But I don’t have an answer for you, as frustrating as that may be for some viewers; “Lost” always arises as an example of a

“Awake” continues to work with the idea that the detective is coping with loss by moving between the different mental landscapes, one where his wife died and son survived a car crash, the other with the son dead and the wife surviving. I can’t even tell you where this is headed.

As my friend Alan Sepinwall on Hitfix.com asked, is the show “a mythology-driven sci-fi show about a man living in a fantastic circumstance where the explanation will be of paramount importance? Or is it a character-driven police procedural with a fantastic twist that’s better left unexamined as anything but a source of plot twists and heartwarming moments?”

Q: Has the last part of “The Closer” aired yet? Please tell me that I have not missed what happened to my favorite female law officer.

A: You have not. TNT will begin

airing the remaining episodes of the Kyra Sedgwick drama on July 9.

Those will lead up to the series finale on Aug. 13. That same night, TNT will premiere “Major Crimes,” the sequel to “The Closer.” Here’s what TNT has said about that show: “Two-time Oscar nominee Mary McDonnell will continue her role from ‘The Closer’ as Los Angeles Police Captain Sharon Raydor.

‘Major Crimes’ will focus on how the American justice system approaches the art of the deal as law-enforcement officers and prosecutors work together to score a conviction. Joining McDonnell are fellow ‘Closer’ veterans G.W. Bailey, Tony Denison, Michael Paul Chan, Raymond Cruz and Phillip P. Keene, with guest appearances by Jon Tenney and Robert Gossett. New cast members include Graham Patrick Martin as a homeless juvenile and Kearran Giovanni as an ambitious undercover detective.”
