WASHINGTON — More than 1,600 museums across the country will offer free admission to active-duty military personnel and their families this summer in a program that has more than doubled in size since 2010.

The expanded Blue Star Museums initiative will be announced Tuesday at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City where more than 40 museums are participating. The offer of free admission runs from Memorial Day until Labor Day at sites nationwide.

The program began in 2010 as a partnership between the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families and the Defense Department. It’s adding 300 new museums this year.

The participating sites include art museums, science centers, history museums, nature centers and about 70 children’s museums.

New participants include the American Civil War Center at Historic Tredegar in Richmond, Va., the New Mexico Museum of Space History, San Francisco’s Children’s Creativity Museum and the World Figure Skating Museum and Hall of Fame in Colorado Springs, Colo.

First lady Michelle Obama and Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, also are helping to promote the effort this year through their Joining Forces initiative to support military families. It comes at an important time for

military families and can be a way to welcome military families to new communities as they often relocate, said Navy Capt. Brad Cooper, executive director of Joining Forces.

“A large percentage of moves happen over the course of the summer,” often from one end of the country to the other, Cooper said. Opening access to museums “really just opens up the aperture of what families are able to do in their travels and their vacation time,” he said.

Rocco Landesman, chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, said it’s good for museums, too.

“This is both an opportunity to thank military families for

their service and sacrifice, as well as a chance to create connections between museums and these families that will continue throughout the year,” he said in a statement.

Last week, the Interior Department announced it would give military families free access to every national park in the country with annual passes. The passes normally cost $80 and provide access to more than 2,000 national parks, wildlife refuges and other public lands.

Obama and Biden also are focused on expanding job opportunities for military spouses and improving military health services and education for military children.

“This is both an opportunity to thank military families for their service and sacrifice, as well as a chance to create connections between museums and these families that will continue throughout the year,”

“Some students play in both the string and wood ensembles and drive as far as an hour for rehearsals,” he said. The orchestra is in its 21st season and will join the company of internationally known acts such as Marlene Dietrich, Bob Hope, Lauren Bacall and Joe Lewis who have all performed at the Monteith

Amphitheater.

The Etowah Youth Orchestras have performed across the country and abroad and won countless national awards since Gagliardo was appointed in August 1995.

The Music at McClellan concert will be their final performance of the season.

Gagliardo is working to groom the young group of musicians as not only future performers but also patrons and consumers of music as well. “We want to give them as much as we can in additional music opportunities,” he said. “We try to be diverse and offer standard orchestra and band repertoire, movie music, Broadway, pop and rock ‘n’ roll.”

Audiences can expect to hear those diverse sounds at the symphonic concert. “There will be more traditional music as well as classical music compositions,” Gagliardo said. “We’ll be doing new, contemporary music.

There’s something for everyone.”

“It will be fantastic, over-thetop, high-quality symphonic music supporting musical endeavors and creating the next generation of symphony,” Conroy said.

Gagliardo insisted that the next generation keeps him young and wanting to experiment with new sounds.

“Even if it’s a 200-year-old musical composition, it will still be new and fresh to them and in the way they play it,” he said.

“What I most enjoy about the students is the energy and excitement they bring to performances.

You don’t find that with adult, professional ensembles.”

Music at McClellan is the premiere musical destination this summer, featuring jazz, rock, bluegrass and classical music concerts and events, Conroy said.

“There’s a little bit of everything for any audience member.”

Atlanta’s Cyclorama boasts world’s largest painting I recently took a trip to Atlanta with my children to visit my sister-in-law, who was in town from New York City to help dismantle the “Picasso-toWarhol” exhibit at the High Museum — one of the coolest jobs ever, I think.

She had a free day, and we wanted something to do that was kid-friendly and entertaining for us adults. She recommended the Atlanta Cyclorama and Zoo Atlanta, which are conveniently located right next to each other.

The Atlanta Cyclorama is a 42-foottall panorama oil painting of the Battle of Atlanta, fought on July 22, 1864, during the Civil War. Visitors sit in a rotating auditorium that gives a 360-view of the painting, which was created from

1885-1886 and is said to be the largest painting in the world. Three-dimensional figures lead from the painting up to the seating area, making the whole experience like walking into a diorama.

While the kids weren’t too fascinated by the Cyclorama, Zoo Atlanta definitely captured their attention. All the typical zoo animals were present — elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, monkeys — as well as a special exhibit and section for the Giant Pandas.

There’s also a children’s area with a petting zoo, train, climbing wall and carousel. After all that, my kiddos slept all the way home.

McGraw looks to rev up career with Big Machine

By Chris Talbott Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tim McGraw has chosen a new record label run by an old friend.

The country music superstar has signed a multi-album deal with Scott Borchetta’s Big Machine Records, officially ending his acrimonious relationship with his only previous label, Curb Records.

McGraw made the announcement Monday at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. It’s the start of the second phase of one of country music’s most successful careers, and McGraw hopes he can regain some of the momentum he lost while fighting to end his “lifetime” contract with Curb Records. Though the two sides remain locked in a legal dispute, a judge last year freed McGraw to begin recording for a new label.

McGraw said in an earlier interview with The Associated Press that he and Borchetta sealed the deal May 9 at the Greyhound bus station in Nashville, marking the anniversary of McGraw’s arrival in Music City with a guitar in one hand and a suitcase in the other.

“So 23 years after I arrived to town, I’m sort of in the kickoff phase of my new career,” McGraw said.

McGraw enters that second phase as one of country music’s leading men. The heartthrob in the black hat, the 45-year-old has reigned on the charts and in album sales for years and remains a force in the genre despite what he considered shenanigans by his longtime record label. He accused Curb of trying to prolong the length of his contract by releasing a string of greatest hits packages that frustrated fans and artist alike.

He’s been recording new music and hopes to release a “landmark” album late this year or early 2013 “that’s just going to sort of turn the knob over to 11.”

Mark Humphrey/Associated Press file

Country music star Tim McGraw announced he has signed a multi-album deal with Big Machine Records, officially ending his rocky relationship with his only previous label, Curb Records.

“I feel like that I’m at a point now in my career I think there’s more ahead of me than behind me,” McGraw said. “It’s time for me to look forward. It’s time for me to look at my new partner in the business of making records and radio, and just sort of step on the gas. I think I’m at a great spot in my career and there’s nothing but great things ahead of me.”

There was much speculation about where McGraw might land. He remains a bankable star with more than 37 million albums sold, 30-plus No. 1 singles and strong touring numbers that will soon include his stadiums-only “Brothers of the Sun” tour this summer with

old friend Kenny Chesney. He’s also carved out an acting career, receiving favorable reviews for performances in “The Blind Side” and “Country Strong.” And his marriage to Faith Hill adds its own star power.

In some ways, Borchetta had an inside track all along, however. Their lives have been

intertwined since Borchetta’s father, Mike, persuaded Curb Records to sign McGraw before the release of his first album in 1993.

“Nobody wanted anything to do with me, but he had a feeling about me and sort of stuck his neck out for me,” McGraw said.

“He actually threw me a party

at his house when I signed with Curb Records, and I’m not even sure that anybody over there knew that he’d signed me.”

McGraw and the younger Borchetta remained friendly and over the last several years McGraw has stopped in to sit and chat from time to time.

“And we just talk about things — ‘What would you do here?

What do you think about this?

I want to play this for you,’ you know?” Borchetta said. “We’ve been friendly for 20 years almost.

So the conversations over the last few years and him hoping that this opportunity could happen have obviously been a little more pointed — ‘Wouldn’t it be cool IF we could work together and what would we do if we got that chance?’”

McGraw fills a hole on the Big Machine roster, which was in need of a headlining solo male star, and continues a trend of signing mid-career acts looking for a reboot. McGraw’s arrival follows that of Rascal Flatts and Martina McBride.

The label’s flagship artist is Taylor Swift — whose first single for Big Machine was “Tim McGraw” coincidentally. But Borchetta’s label group also has helped break The Band Perry, the Eli Young Band and Brantley Gilbert recently as well and is home to Reba McEntire.

McGraw says that success was hard to ignore.

“You want to have a great partner when you’re in this business,” McGraw said. “You want to have someone you trust and are family that you trust, and a family that’s got your back and a family that you know has sort of the same artistic goals that you have, and I feel now I have that.

The past is the past. I’ve had a lot of success. I’m looking forward to more success. ... I feel like in a position now to even jump higher.”

Ditto delivers delightful dance tunes

By Ron Harris Associated Press

Gossip, “A Joyful Noise” (Columbia) There is no one like the punkish Beth Ditto, and thus there is nothing like Gossip and their fifth and finest studio album “A Joyful Noise.” It’s electronic, bombastic, selfassured and a righteous floorrocker thanks to one of the best voices in the business.

“Perfect World” gives us an early taste of what Ditto can do with her voice — namely, anything she wants. She delivers soothing undertones followed soaring refrains while maintaining a thread of urgency on this rock-based track with a growling dance beat.

On “Get A Job,” drummer Hannah Blilie holds down a perfectly funky pace in spots where it’s needed. “I’d love to stay and party but I’ve got to go to work,” Ditto sings over an almost 8-bit backbeat that should thrill lo-fi fans, at least until the raucous hook comes around.

Even when things slow down, as on “In The Wild,” Ditto delivers it so sweet it’s a welcome respite from the rump-

Beth Ditto of Gossip performs at Terminal 5 in New York on May 22. Their latest album, ‘A Joyful Noise,’ was released Tuesday.

shakers that provide the fire on most of the songs. One track later Ditto urges us to “Get Lost” and shed the baggage of past emotions in favor of freeing the soul — to the beat.

Coincidental plus-size body politics aside, Beth Ditto is the singer I keep hoping Adele will be — more varied and carefree and never missing a note and an opportunity to both shock and shine.

Adele does some of that. Ditto does it all.

“A Joyful Noise” is an album that no dance floor — nor iPod playlist — should be without.

CHECK THIS TRACK OUT: “Move In The Right Direction” would be a dancefloor anthem in any era, from the Studio 54 days in 1970s New York to the remixready clubs of 2012. Pop producer Brian Higgins’ magic shines through on this put-it-on-repeat song about facing fears and staying on a healthy life path.

Occupy movement gets a shining soundtrack

By Ron Harris Associated Press

“Occupy This Album,” Various artists (Razor & Tie) “Occupy This Album,” this homage to the Occupy Wall Street movement, is thick with troubadours and an eye toward social justice. The four-disc compilation is one part “Who’s who” and onepart “Who’s that?” But there are some gems within this encampment.

The theme is mixed, as has been the movement. Take Richard Barone’s “Can I Sleep On Your Futon?” His world is in tatters as he bemoans

having a hard time finding the perfect job. “Six years of school and an advanced degree/ And still no job is calling me/ Just student loans and delinquent fees/ I found out the hard way,” Barone sings. It’s a bit of a stretch to find societal fault with his middle master’s degree dilemma.

Other lackluster tracks include Jackson Browne’s flat boring rendition of “Come On, Come On, Come

On” and Chroma’s smarmfilled “Turn The Lights On.” Loudon Wainwright III hits the sweet spot with “The Panic Is On,” a track bristling with brilliant guitar and a heartfelt message that things are heading to a boiling point in the United States.

On “Play The Greed,” Dar Williams asks the listener to ask the right questions of those in power. “Ask why there’s only 40 songs on the station/ Ask your cafe about

the coffee’s plantation,” she sings. It’s a sweet and smart track and among the best.

CHECK THIS TRACK OUT: Joel Rafael will pull every tear from your eyes on the touching “China Basin Digs,” easily the compilation’s best song. It begins with an early morning roust of the homeless under a bridge. His voice sparkles, the guitar has a heartbeat and the lyrics lay bare circumstances that hurt to see. In the mid-1990s, Rafael was emerging as a folk-festival regular. Now he’s arrived and there simply is no better orator for these troubled and testing times.

Sonnenfeld’s full-screen close-ups (his theory of comedy is that it is in your face, literally) catch Smith pasting what he has decided is a funny expression on his face, and freezing it through an entire scene.

Michael Stuhlbarg plays this fellow with a Clarence-the-Angel (“It’s a Wonderful Life”) glimmer and sets the tone for the film’s third act, which manages a lump in the throat or two.

Sequels are almost by definition let-downs. But sometimes it’s enough to want a movie to work, to want a genuinely funny filmmaker to regain a little of his lost form, for Josh Brolin to come along and firmly take the mantle of man’s man/ funnyman from the actor who made humorless so damned hilarious, way back when.

‘This Means War’ tops new releases

By Rick Bentley McClatchy Newspapers

“Red Tails,” Grade Cminus: A crew of black pilots in the Tuskegee training program are called into World War II duty.

The script by John Ridley and Aaron McGruder follows a very safe paint-bynumbers approach. The Tuskegee Airmen story is a powerful example of racism that prevented talented Americans from defending their country because of the color of their skin. The racist world they had to endure is reduced to one bar fight.

The film is about 60 years too late. Had this tale of the historic Tuskegee Airmen been made in the ’50s, audiences would have accepted the stereotype characters, passive approach to racism and hackneyed dialogue. By today’s standards, the movie never gets off the ground.

“This Means War,” Grade B-minus: This film has some very likable stars, with Chris Pine and Tom Hardy playing CIA agents — and best friends — who by chance fall for the same woman, played by Reese Witherspoon. Pine has a boyish charm and Hardy a slight bad-boy quality that makes them fun to watch. The film is at its best when Pine and Hardy are together as a spy team or as opponents in the game of love.

After such a long stretch of forgettable romantic comedies, “This Means War” proves there’s still some sweet and funny life left in the genre. Of course, the bar has been set pretty low.

All in all, it’s more bricks in ‘The Wall’

By Randy Lewis Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — When Pink Floyd first took its concept album “The Wall” to the concert stage more than three decades ago, even lead singer and chief songwriter Roger Waters couldn’t have imagined a day when rock music might get any bigger.

But 32 years later, his magnum opus about the battle between individual freedoms and authoritarian oppression has magnified beyond Waters’ own expectations of yore. Now the man who once excoriated the voluminous expansion of the rock concert experience has helped institutionalize it.

“I famously hated playing to large numbers of people and playing in stadiums,” Waters, 68, said from a tour stop in Austin, Texas, earlier this month. (“The Wall” tour returned Saturday night — one of nine stadium dates on the North American tour leg —to Los Angeles, where it all began in 1980 at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena.)

“The outdoor version, which we developed for South America and which is so much bigger than the arena shows,” the British rocker said, “illuminates the piece in ways we can’t and couldn’t do indoors.”

For instance, in the arena version, the metaphorical wall that is gradually built through the course of the evening typically spans about 200 feet. At stadiums, it stretches out to around 500 feet.

“It’s a new concept of how to produce rock ‘n’ theater on a great big football field,” Waters said. “We have technology available that’s so profoundly superior to what we had 30 years ago. You can be 200 yards from the show and still be completely engaged with what you’re seeing.”

The recent South American tour of “The Wall” broke attendance records there — nine soldout shows at River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires trounced the previous record of five at the same venue held by the Rolling Stones — and it’s also been among the

Orwell’s “1984” and Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World.”

“There’s a big difference between Orwell and Huxley,” he says, paraphrasing a sentiment voiced in Edgar Britt’s book “Post Haste,” which Waters says unapologetically that “I stole for ‘Amused to Death,’” his 1992 solo album.

“Orwell in ‘1984’ said we would come under the control of errant authority. Huxley was more concerned with the idea that this authority would not have to bother to burn books because nobody would read them, that we would live in a pampered and soporific state in which we were so pleasured by nonsense that none of us would dream of turning around and reading a book.

“Look around — we’ve got the Kardashians or ‘American Idol’ or whatever it is, all that reality nonsense that sucks the living seconds out of our days in increasing amount, in my view. It lulls us into this completely false sense that this is a decent reality within which to frame the fleeting seconds we have on this earth.”

Library of Congress taps 25 sounds for registry

By Brett Zongker Associated Press

WASHINGTON — From rare audio interviews of former slaves to recordings by Donna Summer and the Grateful Dead, 25 sounds that shaped the American cultural landscape are being inducted into the National Recording Registry.

Summer’s 1977 hit “I Feel Love” is joining the Grateful Dead’s famous 1977 Barton Hall concert as sounds of cultural significance, among 25 additions that are being announced Wednesday by the Library of Congress as part of its registry.

The world’s largest library has chosen a diverse array of songs and sounds from history to retain for permanent preservation in the National Recording Registry.

Among the new choices this year are Dolly Parton’s “Coat of Many Colors,” Prince’s “Purple Rain” and more.

Some selections are truly historic and rarely heard. They include the only known audio of former American slaves who were interviewed in the 1930s, including one participant who had worked for Confederate President Jefferson Davis. There’s also a cylinder from a talking doll created by Thomas Edison in 1888 that is the earliest known commercial sound recording. It was considered unplayable until last year, after new digital mapping tools were used to reveal its sound of a woman singing “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.”

The library also is saving Leonard Bernstein’s conducting debut with the New York Philharmonic in 1943 and “A Charlie Brown Christmas” by the Vince Guaraldi Trio from 1970, which introduced millions of people to jazz through the TV soundtrack.

“America’s sound heritage is an important part of the nation’s history and culture, and this year’s selections reflect the diversity and creativity of the American experience,” said Librarian of Congress James Billington, in announcing his final selections.

Though Summer died last week of cancer, her hit single was selected for the sound registry weeks ago, said Matt Barton, the library’s curator of recorded sound. Summer had many hits, but “I Feel Love” rose to the top because it was a breakthrough that would change club music for years to come, according to the library’s citation.

“From the first time you heard it, it was just, ‘Wow, this is very different,’” Barton said. “We hadn’t heard this before. It was enormously influential.”

Donna Summer performs during the finale of ‘American Idol’ May 21, 2008, at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. Donna Summer’s hit “I Feel Love” is joining The Grateful Dead’s famous 1977 Barton Hall concert as sounds of cultural significance, among 25 additions announced Wednesday by the Library of Congress as part of its National Recording Registry.

The registry includes early sounds from hip-hop with Sugarhill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight” from 1979 that is credited with launching a genre and inspiring future artists.

Funk will have its place in the sound history collection with Parliament’s “Mothership Connection” from 1975 with George Clinton’s “Ain’t nothin’ but a party, y’all” on the title track.

Blues singer Bo Diddley is being inducted to the sound registry, too, with “Bo Diddley” and “I’m a Man.” For Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead, Diddley’s sound was some of the first beats he learned as a little boy, he told The Associated Press. So he was thrilled that sounds of the Dead were being preserved at the same time.

Hart had a hand in helping create the sound registry, pushing for a law in Congress in 2000. He said he didn’t lobby for his own music to be included this year, though he was letting other “lads” in the band know about the honor.

Their music will be represented with the 1977 Barton Hall concert at Cornell

University, which has been cited as one of their best performances ever. The recording was hailed for its sound quality.

“The Grateful Dead just touched a nerve, and it’s still relevant in many ways today,” Hart told the AP. “It’s Americanbased music, but the combination of it, I guess, was the chemical that ignited, the energy that ignited the spirit of the people for many generations.”

One key choice they made was to allow fans to record their concerts live, rather than hiring guards to take away recorders. That helped build an army of “Dead heads,” Hart said, because they could all take the experience they had paid for with them. And every concert was always different.

Hart said he is impressed with his fellow inductees in the library collection.

“These are not just songs,” he said.

“These are talking books — thousands of years of evolutions of cultures are in this music. It represents something even greater, the hopes, the dreams ... the joy, everything it takes to make up a people are embedded in this music.”

Here’s a listing of the 2011 inductees to the National Recording Registry in chronological order: 1. Edison Talking Doll cylinder (1888) 2. “Come Down Ma Evenin’ Star,” Lillian Russell (1912) 3. “Ten Cents a Dance,” Ruth Etting (1930) 4. “Voices from the Days of Slavery,” Various speakers (1932-1941 interviews; 2002 compilation) 5. “I Want to Be a Cowboy’s Sweetheart,” Patsy Montana (1935) 6. “Fascinating Rhythm,” Sol Hoopii and his Novelty Five (1938) 7. “Artistry in Rhythm,” Stan Kenton & and his Orchestra (1943) 8.

‘Beginner’s Goodbye’ a tender look at life after a loved one dies “The Beginner’s Goodbye” by Anne Tyler; Knopf, 2012; 198 pages; $24.95

By Steven Whitton Special to The Star

If there’s an appropriate way to read this beautiful new novel from Pulitzer Prize-winning author Anne Tyler, it is surely on a quiet weekend morning that stretches into an expansive, lazy afternoon. “The Beginner’s Goodbye” is a small book, barely 200 pages, but it needs to be read unrushed. Tyler has the uncanny ability to understand human shortcomings and to approach them with a commendable generosity of spirit that must be savored.

As in “Noah’s Compass,” her last novel, Tyler’s focus is on a man who is having trouble finding his way. This time out, it is Aaron Woolcott, a 36-year-old widower. Aaron stammers whenever he tries to make himself known. Owing to a childhood accident, he is also crippled in his right arm and leg and finds himself defensively overcompensating for that weakness as well.

He meets Dorothy Rosales, an outspoken and practical physician, when he is 24. She is eight years his senior and,

unlike friends and family, immediately refuses to coddle him. They quickly marry, and it is a match made in heaven.

Some years later, a freak home accident causes Dorothy’s death right after a silly argument. The devastated Aaron retreats to his family business — a vanity press that has also enjoyed a modicum of success with its “Beginner’s” series, “something on the order of the Dummies books, but without the cheerleader tone of voice — more dignified.” Aaron also finds himself fleeing the multitude of small pressures of his damaged house and moving back to the house he grew up in, a house still occupied by his sister, Nandina.

Aaron feels that without his admittedly ordinary marriage, he simply doesn’t exist. Very movingly he remarks about life in general: “That was one of the

worst things about losing your wife, I found: your wife is the very person you want to discuss it all with.” Then, from the afterlife, Dorothy begins to appear to Aaron at unexpected times to talk him through his grief.

What “The Beginner’s Goodbye” charts so very tenderly is Aaron’s beginning again. It isn’t easy at all. People are too kind with casseroles and condolences.

Husbands avoid mentioning their wives; wives stop by to “see” if he is “all right.” Through all of this, Aaron comes to understand how ill-prepared any of us will be for starting over. With the subtle help of Gil Bryan, the contractor who rebuilds the damaged house, Aaron finds a way to do the same for his life.

With quiet wisdom and unassuming humor, Anne Tyler’s small book examines large truths. “The Beginner’s Goodbye” reminds us of the need to cherish even that which is unremarkable around us, to treasure even the imperfections of those we love: “The smart thing to do is, pay attention while they’re living.”

‘Max Payne 3’ a cinematic masterpiece

By Dirk Lammers Associated Press

Max Payne hasn’t graced video gamers’ screens for nearly nine years, and when we reacquaint ourselves with the former New York City detective, we find a man drowning his troubled past in bottles of scotch and prescription pills.

The protagonist of “Max Payne 3” ($59.99, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC) might be teetering near rock bottom, but developer Rockstar Games has created a cinematic masterpiece around him. The narrated third-person shooter packs intense action and exquisitely eerie production while revealing an engaging story line through solid acting.

Max, still hitting the bottle following the murder of his wife and daughter, heads down to Sao Paulo, Brazil, to join his friend Raul on the security team for a rich socialite family. An exclusive high-rise party provides the opportunity for some detectivestyle narration to introduce us to some new characters, but Max is quickly thrust into a violent gun battle.

The game immediately highlights a stretching of the familiar Shootdodge maneuver as Max gets to blast away intruders gathered on a large balcony while sliding down an awning. Also

Rockstar Games via Associated Press

The video game character Max Payne uses his Shootdodge maneuver to fire off some shots in ‘Max Payne 3.’ back is Bullet Time, a temporary upgrade that slows down motion so Max can concentrate on hitting enemies.

Three targeting options — hard lock, soft lock or off — adjust the difficulty to please both hard-core gamers and those looking for an easier experience so they can just enjoy the

ride.

Scenes in “Max Payne 3” play out artistic yet brutally violent, with bullets splattering blood as they pierce skin and bones.

And each scene ends with the perspective shifting to a slowmotion bullet cam that adds an exclamation point before Max moves on.

The game makes better use of cover, and unless you’ve been conserving painkillers, it’s often better to pace and protect Max behind railings and desks instead of just running and opening fire.

The settings for Max’s battles are varied.

A neon nightclub is gorgeous

but distracting, with flashing lights and pulsating beats making it tough to spot those who broke up the party. A battle through a vast soccer stadium weaves seamlessly between wide-open stadium seating areas, tight catwalks perched above the field and more intimate back corridors and luxury suite areas.

Max once again is skillfully voiced by James McCaffrey (the ghost of firefighter Jimmy Keefe on the TV cable series “Rescue Me”).

While pacing is an important part of the single-player story mode, multiplayer is a frenzied free-for-all.

The Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch modes are much like other shooters, but they’re enhanced with the incorporation of bursts such as health and weapon upgrades and Bullet Time, which in multiplayer affects only those characters in Max’s field of vision.

Gang Wars mode adds objectives to the mix, and Payne Killer makes the player who kills Max the new hunted one.

But story mode is this game’s draw, and fans who have been waiting nearly a decade for the next “Max Payne” game should be raising their scotch glasses to Rockstar.

Four stars out of four.

Tech Q&A: Laptops aren’t going away; how to get more disk space

By Steve Alexander Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

Question: A computer salesman told me that small netbook computers are going to go away, and will be replaced by tablet computers. I thought this wasn’t good news for me because I travel and need a computer that’s lighter than a laptop but can handle more standard PC software. However, the salesman said new tablet computers to be released in September will have all this software. Is this true?

Answer: Yes, but that doesn’t mean

small laptops are going away. Here’s what’s happening: Starting about three years ago, netbooks were sold as smaller, lighter laptops with limited computing capabilities.

About two years ago, following the introduction of the iPad, netbook sales growth began to decline, largely because tablet computers offered the capabilities of a small netbook in a more convenient form.

Your salesman’s prediction of new tablets that can run the same software as a netbook refers to the pending introduction of Microsoft’s Windows 8 operating

system, which is expected to result in tablets that run more PC-like programs.

That doesn’t mean tablets will replace small laptops. Why? Tablets are inherently limited by their lack of a full-size physical keyboard. (You can buy a keyboard, but you have to carry it around.)

Instead, standard laptops will get lighter and smaller, while still offering full-function computing, portability and a real keyboard. The first generation of these lighter laptops didn’t do well because they were pricey, at least several hundred dollars more than an iPad. By later this year, these laptops are expected

to sell for as little as $600, which is competitive with the iPad. Q: To save hard disk space, I’m thinking about uninstalling Microsoft and Windows update files dating back several years from my Windows XP computer.

Should I? A: No. The updates were designed to correct software flaws or security vulnerabilities, and eliminating them will cause trouble. Instead, get rid of unused software, or old data files and photos.

READY, SET, READ Anniston Public Library kicks off summer reading program

By Erin Williams Special to The Star

With a song in her heart, Kim Westbrooks is ready for summer reading. The Head of Youth Services at the Anniston Public Library found herself linked to books back in 2005 after completing a student job in the university library at Jacksonville State, where she received a degree in general music.

The experience left such an impact on her that after she graduated she began working as the Children’s Library Specialist at Jacksonville Public Library in 2007 and decided to pursue a master’s in library science at the University of Alabama the same year.

After graduating last August, she hasn’t looked back.

“I still do music, I’m still choir director at my church and have lots of fun with it,” says Westbrooks, who has been with the Anniston Public Library since last September, “but my passion and my career is libraries.”

In order to keep kids engaged in reading this summer, the library is doing its part through their annual Summer Reading Program, which kicks off tomorrow. Under the theme “Dream Big – Read,” for students up to age 11, Westbrooks emphasizes the importance of providing incentives for readers of all ages to participate, by holding weekly events and offering prizes for every five books or 250 pages read. The library is also offering a separate summer reading program for teens ages 12-17, themed “Own The Night,” which offers prizes for every 10 books, or 500 pages read. For Westbrooks, however, the biggest reward is when a kid transitions from being a reluctant reader, to a passionate one.

“The most appealing thing to me is … seeing that spark in their eyes when a lot of [children] might not have found something before that they really loved to read, and getting that moment that I get to spend with them and really find something that they just absolutely love,” she says.

The program kicks off June 1 with a musical slumber party at 4 p.m. Students can sign up for the

free program online at publiclibrary.cc/summerreading. The program runs through July 14 and is open to all students in Calhoun County, including parents who work in the county.

Below, Westbrooks gives her top five titles that summer readers should definitely include in their rotation.

Junior high and high school students: “The Hunger Games,” by Suzanne Collins.

“It’s not very often that a book lives up to its hype,” Westbrooks said of the series that has taken the literary world — and Hollywood — by storm, “but this book definitely does just that. It’s intense, it’s thought-provoking, it’s great for the reluctant readers that have forgotten the joy of reading.” Perfect for young readers who have been saddled with required reading, she added, “It’s a great way for them to rediscover breathtaking suspense.”

3rd through 5th-grade students: “The Invention of Hugo Cabret,” by Brian Selznick.

With more than 500 pages, the book may seem daunting to some, Westbrooks said, but readers will be pleasantly surprised. “It’s one of those cases where the artwork adds to the story, the story adds to the artwork — it’s just a one-of-a-kind read.”

2nd through 3rdgrade students: “Squish: Super Amoeba,” by Jennifer and Matt Holm.

Westbrooks feels that the hilarity of an amoeba who finds himself in all sorts of superhero mixups is the perfect remedy to get young readers out of their “chapter book funk,” combating the transition from picture to chapter books. “Some of them at that point decide they don’t want to read anymore, because it becomes more of a challenge to them,” she said of using the series to refresh tired eyes. “It’s fun and very approachable.”

Kindergarten and first-grade students: “Millie Waits for the Mail,” by Alexander Steffensmeier.

The book about a cow that finds hilarity in scaring the mailman who visits her farm everyday is complemented even more by the vivid pastoral illustrations, Westbrooks said. “There are serene, breathtaking farm pictures in contrast with Millie with her scared face and the mailman hiding in the bushes,” she said. “It’s very fun.”

Pre-K and kindergarten students: “Gallop,” by Rufus Butler Seder The board book is not only suitable for the rough and tumble life of a toddler, but also comes to life by providing animal sounds and making the creatures move with each turn of the page. “Kids are just enamored by this book,” Westbrooks said. “I’ve actually seen some older kids pick it up and really enjoy flipping these pages. It’s a really great, interactive read.”

Nik Wallenda performs a walk on a tightrope during a training session in a wind-driven mist in Niagara Falls, N.Y.

Wallenda to be tethered to Niagara Falls tightrope

By Carolyn Thompson Associated Press

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. — Daredevil Nik Wallenda says he’s not happy about it but he’ll probably be tethered to the tightrope that he plans to walk over Niagara Falls next month.

Wallenda said Monday that ABC is adamant about making him wear the safety device out of consideration for viewers who tune in to the network’s three-hour, prime-time special on June 15.

“It seems as though

that’s what I’m going to be doing,” he told The Associated Press as he prepared to walk a practice wire outside the Seneca Niagara Casino, where a fire truck sprayed water and a jet boat motor served as a powerful fan to simulate the mist and wind that occurs as water rushes over Niagara Falls to the rocky gorge below.

“I’m upset. I’m not used to it,” he said. “I’ve never worn a tether before so it’s just something else I have to contend with when I’m out there.”

Daredevils routinely used to make tightrope walks over the Niagara River gorge, downstream of the falls, until the practice was banned. Nik Wallenda’s stunt will be the first attempted walk over the falls themselves.

ABC spokesman Jeffrey Schneider said the network has said all along that safety measures would be in place during the live broadcast.

“We’ve been saying from the start that we were going to try to have every safety measure in place to make

it an exciting and thrilling walk, something that would be safe and comfortable for parents to watch with their kids,” he said.

Wallenda has been practicing on a two-inch cable at the casino in front of crowds of onlookers since May 12.

His final two practices were planned for Tuesday.

Wallenda is a seventhgeneration member of the famous daredevil family the Great Wallendas. His greatgrandfather, Karl, fell to his death in a tightrope walk in Puerto Rico at age 78.

Actor Leslie Nielsen, center top, with actress Jeannette Charles, portraying the Queen of England, in a scene from ‘The Naked Gun.’ All of the ‘Naked Gun’ movies are available on DVD. Montalban, George Kennedy, O.J. Simpson and Priscilla Presley. I hope you can find it; it’s a crazy movie.

A: And one with an interesting history. In 1982, the makers of the big-screen comedy “Airplane!” came to television with “Police Squad,” a parody of crime shows.

Leslie Nielsen, who had also starred in “Airplane!,” played police detective Frank Drebin in the series.

It was not a hit, but the idea did not die. In 1988, Nielsen again played Drebin in “The Naked Gun.” It proved a top 10 box-office hit for the year, Sequels followed in 1991 (“Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear”) and “Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult” (1994). According to “The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows,” CBS even replayed the TV show, which originally aired on ABC, in 1991.

Now, to what you really want to know: All the movies are on DVD, individually and in a modestly priced collection of all three. The first film is also on Blu-ray, and “Police Squad” is on

DVD, too.

Q: I thought I heard at the end of a “Harry’s Law” that it was the show’s final few episodes. Has the show been canceled?

Also, at the end of the last “Fringe” they said it was the season finale but I thought this was the last season. Could you please let me know what’s really going on with these two shows?

A: This time of year, ads for TV shows will sometimes amp up viewer interest with bold declarations of a few remaining episodes and a more soft-spoken acknowledgment that those are the last episodes of a season, not a series.

But, unfortunately for its many fans, “Harry’s Law” has indeed been dropped

by NBC. The show was somewhat popular, especially by struggling NBC’s standards, but it did not do well with viewers under 50 years old, the audience most networks use to woo advertisers.

As for “Fringe,” it will return on Fox in the fall, for a 13-episode final season that can wrap up at least some of its complicated story lines.
