that. Kiwanuka eventually found confidence in his voice, and as he prepares to play his first NASHVILLE, Tenn. — For the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, increasingly large crowd of music he arrives with plenty of advance fans familiar with the pure, soul- hype, joining top acts like Radioful sound of the British singer’s head, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, ageless voice, this is probably Phish, the Beach Boys and more hard to believe. Yet it’s true. Kiwa- on the bill in Manchester, Tenn. nuka thought he was a guitar Kiwanuka was voted in BBC’s player and nothing more.

Best of Sound 2012 as Britain’s “The people who were big top act to watch this year. Long when I was in my mid-teens were before his debut album “Home like Usher, and Justin Timberlake Again” went gold in his home started coming out,” Kiwanuka country, the 25-year-old was said in his sing-song lilt. “And already earning attention on both there’s R&B singers who are sides of the Atlantic with a series amazing. And I would sing and it of EPs that showcased his songwould sound not really like that writing ability, his understated at all ... so people just found it guitar playing and that voice, weird. When I listened to it back which recalls soul singers like on speakers for demos and stuff, Otis Redding and Bill Withers. it just sounded like nothing else “I think obviously the first that was around.” thing that stands out is his voice,” We can all be thankful for The Black Keys guitarist Dan Associated Press

Auerbach said. “It’s pretty amazing. It’s got a lot of character.”

Auerbach was so taken with Kiwanuka’s vibe, he reached out and set up a recording session in London on a rare day off. The resulting song, the slow-grooving “Lasan,” made the U.S. version of the album, which was recently released digitally and will be available as a physical release in the United States on July 17.

“He sent me just this little demo he had with just his guitar and his voice,” Auerbach said.

“And we decided we’d just go in the studio and record it. ... It was this weird synchronicity thing.

We came up with the arrangement on the spot. It was nice.”

Things didn’t always come so easily for Kiwanuka, a child of Ugandan parents who grew up in

Tannehill State Park offers history, camping, shopping Tannehill Ironworks Historical State Park, 1,500 acres, has something for everyone, especially on trade days — the third weekend of all but the winter months. Visitors may sit on the creek banks to picnic, campers may enjoy their friends and family, shoppers can find a treasure or two at the flea-market trade days and historians will enjoy the 45 historical buildings at the park. There is more: a welcome center, an iron and steel museum, a candy kitchen, a working grist mill, a country store, crafts cabins, a working train, a pioneer farm, a campground and historic houses. An event schedule available to visitors. It lists a variety of events such as shows, competitions, festivals and 5k runs.

I recently visited Tannehill on trade day and shopped for around 30 minutes, and barely visited even a third of the booths.

I looked at the food offerings at a concession stand (French fries, barbecue and other treats), but, I opted for snacks at the country store — parched peanuts, candy and packaged ice-cream treats.

I walked along the creek bank near a waterfall where children were wading. My favorite part of visiting the park, though, was the ironworks furnace area. One can see the original furnaces and several old historical buildings there. Areas are well-marked

“The longest studio session I had with him was two weeks, and I was like, ‘Great, I’ve got two weeks to come up with something solid if anything else,’” Kiwanuka said dur-

ing a recent interview at the South

By Southwest Music Conference in Austin, Texas. “So we got there and all the songs I had tanked, they just didn’t work in the studio. I felt the session kind of falling apart. I had one day off to do what I wanted and I just stayed in my room.”

Although Kiwanauka’s sound is not typical of pop, his music has garnered him surprising mainstream support in Britain.

“He got a lot of radio play on (BBC) Radio 1,” Butler said. “It was

going in between Jessie J and all the big pop stars, and then ‘Home Again’ would come on, this really mellow, gritty, earthy sound, and a lot of people really loved it.”

Which means after years of looking for his place, Kiwanuka has found it.

“When you’re a teenager all you want to do is fit in,” Kiwanuka said. “You don’t want to be unique, which is bad and wrong. Actually that’s what’s so cool about life — everyone’s different.”

It can be a rewarding feeling for music educators to see a student master Beethoven or Chopin on the piano or sing a particular note in tune. Equally as rewarding for the student is nurturing a musical talent under teachers who are able to show them how to use their gifts to please audiences.

Jacksonville State University presents an annual conference that brings together teachers, students and classical music in a harmonious three-day event of pianists and vocal performers. The Alabama Music Teachers Association music conference will be held in the Mason Hall Performance Center today and Saturday.

“I want audiences to walk away realizing piano music is alive and well,” said Wendy Faughn, vice president of AMTA and JSU associate professor of music. “There’s nothing that replaces a live concert of music.”

AMTA was established to promote music education and includes almost 400 members. Faughn said the organization attempts to celebrate and promote music through conferences, festivals and competitions. While most of the musical conference is for members of AMTA, there is a recital open to the general public tonight featuring special guest and world renowned pianist Neil Rutman. Rutman has won countless national and international music competitions for his classical recitals and orchestra performances.

“Audiences will have an opportunity to hear live piano music from the hands of an artist that has played all over the world,” Faughn said. “They will hear some wonderful music and will have a pleasurable experience.”

In addition to the guest recital featuring Rutman, the conference includes recitals where teachers from other state universities will play various compositions and give lectures on how to educate different students and techniques to use when playing the piano. According to Faughn, five recitals throughout the concert feature concerto winners and state winners who are all students.

“The music will be predominately classical piano, but there will also be strings, clarinets and chamber music,” she said. “The university is honored to have a concert like this in our area with teachers and esteemed students across the state in our area.”

Jackson shares personal song on new album

By Chris Talbott Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Alan Jackson is not one to overshare. An imposing figure, he’s tall and reserved with cowboy hat pulled down low over his eyes. Even that moustache is a little bit intimidating.

Yet once in a while, the country superstar lets loose with a burst of emotion so raw and heartfelt, it puts the lie to Jackson’s stoic facade.

Such was the case when Jackson first recorded “When I Saw You Leaving (For Nisey),” a tribute to his wife Denise written while she was fighting cancer.

“When we went out to track it, it was a very gripping, emotional moment for everybody,” Jackson’s producer Keith Stegall said. “I think it touched everyone. We came back in and listened to the playback in the studio and there was a lot of wet eyes in the control room.”

That was the first time anyone had heard the song, which appears on Jackson’s new album “Thirty Miles West,” out this week. The singer wasn’t sure initially he wanted to share it with anybody, though. When he brought it to the studio, he’d never even played it for Denise.

“It’s pretty emotional,” Jackson said.

“She already had enough to deal with and I didn’t know if it would make her feel better or worse. I didn’t share it with anybody. Just didn’t want to, until we did it in the session that day.”

The release of “Thirty Miles West” caps an emotional period for the 53year-old and his family. His wife has now been cancer free for a year. And Jackson split with Arista Nashville, ending a two-decade partnership that produced more than 43 million albums sold. He signed with Capitol/ EMI Records Nashville and “Thirty Miles West” is out on his own imprint, ACR. The Jacksons’ three daughters also are growing up. His oldest has graduated from college and his middle daughter is out of high school.

It’s been a lot for Jackson and his

BRIEFLY ENTERTAINING Elvis Presley joins Tupac in hologram likeness NEW YORK — Elvis is back in the building — the hologram version, that is.

Like the much-hyped Tupac Shakur hologram that debuted at the Coachella music festival, Elvis Presley will get the virtual treatment by the same company that made the late rapper’s lifelike hologram.

Digital Domain Media Group announced Wednesday it is creating a Presley hologram for shows, film, TV and other projects worldwide, including appearances. They’ve gotten the OK from Elvis Presley Enterprises.

The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll remains one of the most popular figures in music despite his death in 1977. No word on when hologram Elvis will make its official debut.

Country music artist Alan Jackson, right, and his wife, Denise Jackson, as they prepare to sign autographs during the CMA Music Festival in Nashville, Tenn., June 6, 2008. The release of his latest album, ‘Thirty Miles West,’ caps an emotional period for the 53-year-old and his family.

His wife has now been cancer-free for a year. wife to absorb.

“I think it definitely affected us both in more ways than we can understand,” Jackson said. “You don’t take anything for granted. Life is so fragile.

You hear that people can survive any kind of trauma. It made us look at our values more — what was important to us in our lives and what our plans are for the future and the rest of our lives.

All that is affected by it. There can be some good that comes from all of it.”

He wasn’t just dealing with personal change. When it came time to record the album’s 13 tracks, Jackson instituted a few more changes. He asked Stegall to bring in a new roster of players to fill out his studio crew after years of using the same team.

“He just felt like everybody kind of gets way too comfortable and he just

wanted to shake things up a little bit,” Stegall said. “I told him, ‘Man, I agree with you. Let’s turn things upside down a little bit.’ That’s what we did.”

Jackson also brought in Zac Brown Band to guest on “Dixie Highway.”

The two Georgia acts teamed up on Brown’s “As She’s Walking Away,” which was a country No. 1.

“I like Zac and his band,” Jackson said. “Before they even made any records they came and played me some of their stuff, the demos and things. I knew then they were a good bunch because they were writers and they played on their records. ... They’re not just somebody who decided they wanted to be a singer and come to Nashville. They’ve were in Georgia for years paying their dues like people used to do. So they’re a real act.”

NEW YORK — Tina Fey, Jane Fonda and William Shatner are now award winners in the book world.

On Tuesday night, Fey received Audie Awards for Audio Book of the Year and best Biography/Memoir for her narration of her million-selling “Bossypants.” Fonda won in the Personal Development category as the reader of her own “Prime Time.” Shatner was cited in Humor for “Shatner’s Rules.” An audiobook about the Titanic, “The Watch That Ends the Night,” won for Distinguished Achievement in Production.

Hope Davis’ narration of Ann Patchett’s “State of Wonder” won for literary fiction and Will Patton’s reading of James Lee Burke’s “Feast Day of Fools” won for mystery.

First editions of Pulitzer Prize book winners up for auction NEW YORK — First editions of all 93 Pulitzer Prize-winning works of fiction will be offered for sale at a New York auction next week.

Sotheby’s says the novels will be sold as one lot at its June 15 books and manuscripts sale.

They’re estimated to bring $50,000 to $70,000.

The seller is a private collector.

Notable titles in the collection include “Gone With the Wind” by Margaret Mitchell, “The Grapes of Wrath” by John Steinbeck and “Humboldt’s Gift” by Saul Bellow.

The collection begins with the first Pulitzer for fiction in 1918 for “His Family” by Ernest Poole. It ends with Jennifer Egan’s “A Visit From the Goon Squad” in 2011.

The collection includes eight presentation copies and 27 signed editions.

Brian Wilson writes new Beach Boys album

By John Carucci Associated Press

Beach Boys “That’s Why God Made the Radio” (Capitol) There’s a fine line between recreating your timeless signature sound and becoming a nostalgia act for your own music. It happens so much these days with older artists and their numerous comebacks, but not the Beach Boys.

The band reunited earlier this year for their 50th anniversary: They’re on a major tour and now they have a new album. “That’s Why God Made the Radio” has a retro sound as if they were following up their seminal 1966 album, “Pet Sounds.” It even ends on a suite of songs like it does.

That baroque-pop classic bore such

hits as “Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” and the haunting “Caroline, No.” And while this new collection of songs may not hold an aesthetic candle to that great record, it does have some real catchy tunes.

Tracks like “Shelter,” and “Daybreak Over the Ocean” feel more like newly discovered tracks from a session 40 years ago instead of being recorded last year.

Maybe that’s because Brian Wilson came back to the band after his decadeslong absence. Regarded as one of popular music’s true geniuses, his return invigorates the album with the band’s trademark sound. His contributions came in a big way — he produced the album and co-wrote 11 of the albums 12 tracks.

Wilson was the architect of the band’s California rock sound when mental

problems and drug use led him to drop out of the band for some time, and it was never the same again. Now he’s back, and so are his incredible melodies and falsetto delivery. The songs harken back to a simpler time when people wore Huarache sandals, polished their surfboards, and raced their hot rods.

The album marks the bands 29th studio album, and first since 1992’s “Summer in Paradise.” All the surviving members appear on the album including Wilson, Mike Love (who also writes on the album), and Al Jardine. Early members David Marks and Bruce Johnston, who replaced Wilson when he left the band in 1966, are back for the album and tour.

CHECK THIS TRACK OUT: “From There to Back Again” begins the threesong suite that ends the album and includes some of the best harmonies on the album.

‘Prometheus’ a gorgeous, intense trip

By Christy Lemire Associated Press

Nothing could possibly satisfy the fervent expectation that has built for Ridley Scott’s sorta-prequel to his genre-defining “Alien,” but “Prometheus,” the director’s return to science fiction for the first time in 30 years, comes close.

Strikingly beautiful, expertly paced, vividly detailed and scary as hell, it holds you in its grip for its entirety and doesn’t let go.

You’ll squeal, you’ll squirm — at one point, I was curled up in a little ball in my seat in a packed screening room — and you’ll probably continue feeling a lingering sense of anxiety afterward.

That’s how effective it is in creating and sustaining an intensely suspenseful mood.

But the further you get away from outer-space journey, the more you may begin to notice some problems with the plot — both specific, nagging holes

Prometheus HHH rating: R for sci-fi violence including some intense images, and brief language Running time: 2:07 Starring: Michael Fassbender (pictured above), Noomi Rapace, Charlize Theron and a general narrative fuzziness. Describing some of them would give too much away, and we wouldn’t dream of doing that.

We’ll just say that Scott and writers Damon Lindelof (executive producer of “Lost”) and Jon Spaihts vaguely touch on the notions of belief vs. science and creation vs. Darwinism, philosophical debates that never feel fully developed.

Still, the performances are excellent, especially from Michael Fassbender as a robot with the

looks and impeccable manners of an adult but the innocence and troublemaking instincts of a child. His character, the genteel, fair-haired David, serves as an homage to Scott’s own work as he calls to mind Ian Holm’s android Ash from the original “Alien.” His eerily calm, precise demeanor also is reminiscent of the HAL 9000 computer program in “2001: A Space Odyssey,” and the pop-culture influences that shape David’s habits and speech are a clever celebration of the power of classic cinema in general. (“Prometheus” probably will not go on to be considered one of Scott’s classics in the same category as “Alien” and “Blade Runner,” but you’ve got to admire its ambition.)

David is part of a crew of space explorers traveling to a remote moon on a trillion-dollar mission in the year 2093, hoping to find answers to nothing less than the origin of mankind on Earth.

(Don’t they know they should

have been looking in central Texas? That’s where Terrence Malick searched in “The Tree of Life.”)

Noomi Rapace, star of the original “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” films, continues to forge a strong screen presence as Dr. Elizabeth Shaw, a scientist who has managed to find a balance between her religious faith and her work-related discoveries.

She and her boyfriend, the more spiritually skeptical Charlie Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green), have found signs in spots around the globe that aliens visited tens of thousands of years ago and left us an invitation to swing by and say howdy whenever we had a chance.

That’s what they think, at least.

The rest of the crew includes Charlize Theron, radiating icy intimidation as the administrator from the private corporation funding the trip, and Idris Elba as the ship’s sexy, smart-alecky

captain. Everyone else is probably a goner. If you’ve ever seen this kind of movie, you know this is not a spoiler.

When they all finally awaken from their two-year sleep and arrive at this gorgeously severe land, they (naturally) stumble upon secrets and perils they never could have imagined. Some of them are gooey. That’s about all we’ll say about that because you really should experience it all for yourself.

But the paranoia becomes palpable, and a lot of its impact comes from how dramatic and dazzlingly seamless the special effects are. Scott makes crisp, immersive use of 3-D in “Prometheus,” providing encounters that would seem too close for comfort anyway with a nervewracking sense of claustrophobia.

The reason for the journey may seem a bit muddled, but what happens once they get there is undeniably powerful.

‘Act of Valor’ missing the acting

By Rick Bentley McClatchy Newspapers

It’s a big week for DVD releases, especially if you like action films and USA Network series. Here’s what’s coming out: “Falling Skies: The Complete First Season” Grade B: The cable series, based on an idea by writer Robert Rodat and producer Steven Spielberg, is about the chaotic aftermath of an alien attack that has left most of the world in ruins. Pockets of survivors band together to wage guerrilla warfare against the invaders and to fight for survival.

Noah Wyle (“ER”), Moon Bloodgood (“Terminator Salvation”), Will Patton (“Armageddon”) and Drew Roy (“Secretariat”) make this offering both a strong sci-fi tale and family drama.

“Safe House” Grade B: Denzel Washington plays a dangerous CIA renegade.

Generally, action movies are either lightweight, puffed-up, macho-man vehicles or so cerebrally deep that it’s almost impossible to follow the action.

Despite having only a few directing jobs to his credit, Daniel Espinosa found a nice blend of chest-pounding bravado and smart storytelling to make “Safe House” entertaining on multiple levels.

“Act of Valor” Grade Cminus: A rescue mission uncovers a terrorist plot.

There’s not an ounce of emotion when the real-life SEALs deliver their dialogue, which drains all life out of what should be very powerful scenes.

Had this movie been shot as a documentary, they would have spoken their own words. “Act of Valor” is less a theatrical release than a recruiting film.

Relativity Media via Associated Press

A scene is shown from the film ‘Act of Valor,’ starring real, active-duty Navy SEALs, out this week on DVD. ”John Carter” Grade C: An Earthling ends up in the middle of a war on Mars.

The script by Andrew Stanton, Mark Andrews and Michael Chabon mixes pieces of several Edgar Rice Burroughs books in such an awkward way that the movie neither spotlights the planet’s battle nor the Earthling’s adventures.

This story should have been a cosmic tale of good vs. evil, but the script keeps getting bogged down by convoluted explanations and a wedding plot line that’s as dusty as the Martian surface.

“Journey 2: The Mysterious Island” Grade Dminus: Despite borrowing from multiple Jules Verne novels — and even a few other classic adventure books — “Journey 2” has less plot than a Super Bowl commercial.

Sean Anderson (Josh Hutcherson), who went on a quest with his uncle to find his dad in the first “Journey,” teams with his stepfather (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson) to search for his missing grandfather (Michael Caine). They’re joined by a quirky helicopter pilot (Luis Guzman), who has some real sexual problems, and his spunky daughter (Van-

essa Hudgens).

There are some terrible moments.

Also coming to DVD this week: “Pretty Little Liars: The Complete Second Season”: The mystery behind the lies begins to unfold. Troian Bellisario stars.

“Fairly Legal: The Complete First Season”: Sarah Shahi plays an arbitrator with an attitude.

‘Madagascar 3’ goes through the motions

By David Germain Associated Press

Ben Stiller’s Alex the lion reviews “Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted” so we don’t have to.

Halfway into the third animated tale about New York City zoo animals on their overseas adventures, Alex tells some new circus friends that their act was not too entertaining for families “because you were just going through the motions out there.”

So, too, for “Madagascar 3,” which goes through a lot of motions — explosions of action and image so riotously paced that they become narcotic and numbing.

With Eric Darnell and Tom McGrath, creators of the first two “Madagascar” flicks, joined by a third director in Conrad Vernon (“Shrek 2”), the filmmakers just can’t stop stuffing things, to the point of distraction, into “Europe’s Most Wanted.”

madagascar 3: europe’s most wanted HH rating: PG for some mild action and rude humor Running time: 1:32 Starring: Voices of Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer, Jada Pinkett Smith The result: a cute story about zoo animals running off to join the circus becomes overwhelmed by a blur of color and animated acrobatics. The pictures certainly are pretty, but the filmmakers apparently are unwilling to risk the slightest lapse of audience attention, so they put the movie on fast-forward and let centripetal force hurtle viewers along from start to finish.

“Madagascar 3” opens with Alex and

zoo pals Marty the zebra (Chris Rock), Gloria the hippo (Jada Pinkett Smith) and Melman the giraffe (David Schwimmer) still stuck in Africa, dreaming of their return to New York.

Along with lemur king Julien (Sacha Baron Cohen) and his flunky (Cedric the Entertainer), they follow Skipper (voiced by co-director McGrath) and his wily penguin cohorts to the casinos of Monte Carlo, hoping to hitch a ride home.

The journey from Africa to Europe just happens, with no explanation, begging the question, how much harder would it be for the gang to find its way back to New York on its own? But that’s the sort of thinking for which the filmmakers aim to leave no time.

The critters raise a ruckus at the casino, setting vile French animal-control officer Chantel DuBois (Frances McDormand) on their tail. The animals may be as cuddly as ever, but the design of Chantel is creepy in

an off-putting way; she’s like an early take on “101 Dalmatians” heavy Cruella De Vil, discarded by Walt Disney out of sheer repugnance.

On the run from Chantel, the animals take refuge aboard a circus train, where they team up with Vitaly the tiger (Bryan Cranston), Gia the jaguar (Jessica Chastain) and Stefano the sea lion (Martin Short).

The circus may prove the gang’s ticket home, but only if they can turn the act into a dazzler. From this point on, “Madagascar 3” mostly is a cartoon kaleidoscope, filled with blinding pyrotechnics and impossible gymnastics that Cirque du Soleil could only dream about.

The animation is grand, and the lovely images may be enough to send really young kids away happy. Their parents might leave feeling they’ve been taken in by some carny sleight-of-hand, though.

‘NintendoLand,’ ‘Mario Bros.’ coming to Wii U

By Derrik J. Lang Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Nintendo is relying on a famous plumber, zombies and a virtual theme park to build buzz for the Wii U. The Japanese gaming giant unleashed 23 games for its upcoming console featuring a touchscreen controller during a news conference Tuesday at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, the gaming industry’s annual trade show.

Among the titles announced were the cooperative platform game “New Super Mario Bros. U” and the amusement-parkthemed mini-game collection “NintendoLand.” Nintendo also demonstrated the fantastical strategy sequel “Pikmin 3” and first-person undead-fighting game “ZombiU” from Ubisoft Entertainment.

The titles employed what the company is dubbing “asymmetric gameplay,” which gives players using the 6.2-inch touchscreen controller called the Wii U GamePad a different experience than those armed with traditional Wii controllers. The Wii U will be compatible with previous Wii controllers, including the Wii Nunchuk and Wii Balance Board.

“When we launched the Wii at the press conference in 2006, people were still wondering what this thing is all about,” said Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of America, backstage after the press conference. “To make a comparison of where we are with the Wii U vs. the Wii, I think we’re actually much further along. I say that because here at this press conference, we’re able to show off over 20 games, and we’ve got fantastic third-party support.”

Nintendo illustrated that “New Super

Mario Bros. U” could be played on either a TV or the touchscreen controller, and that the latest installment in the brick-smashing, coin-collecting franchise would allow up to four players to play simultaneously with traditional controllers, while another could join in with the touchscreen controller to jab enemies and build platforms from afar.

“With the Wii U GamePad, we have the first dedicated personal screen in the long history of game machines,” Shigeru Miyamoto, who created “Super Mario Bros.” and “Legend of Zelda,” said at the news conference through a translator.

Other games announced for the successor to the popular Wii console included the

fitness title “Wii Fit U,” a sing-and-dancealong game called “SiNG” and the wordfilled puzzler “Scribblenauts Unlimited” from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

Nintendo Co. jumped ahead of rivals Microsoft Corp. and Sony Corp. to build hype at E3 by streaming an online video Sunday revealing that the touchscreen controller would be called the Wii U GamePad. The company also announced Sunday that it would release a traditional controller outfitted with two analog sticks called the Wii U Pro Controller, and that the Wii U’s interface would be an online virtual hub called Miiverse.

Fils-Aime said Wii U users would be able to connect to the Miiverse, which is populated by cartoony Nintendo avatars called Miis, with Internet-enabled smartphones, tablets and other devices after the console’s launch.

Microsoft and Sony showed off similar second-screen capabilities Monday. Microsoft unveiled an app called Xbox SmartGlass that would allow users to stream and share content across their TVs, tablets and smartphones using the Xbox 360, while Sony continued to hype what it calls “crossplay” between its PlayStation 3 console and PlayStation Vita hand-held device.

No price or release date was announced for the Wii U system, which was unveiled last year at E3. The tablet-like Wii U GamePad is equipped with an infrared transceiver, gyroscope and accelerometer. It also has a camera, stylus, two analog sticks and multiple buttons.

Fils-Aime said the Wii U console would work with two Wii U GamePads, but that feature was not demonstrated Tuesday.

Nintendo also previewed a trio of games for its 3DS handheld device starring its famous plumber siblings: “New Super Mario Bros. 2” introducing a golden Mario, “Paper Mario: Sticker Star” presenting a 2-D version of the protagonist in 3-D, and “Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon” focusing on Mario’s ghost-capturing brother.

Following the news conference at the Nokia Theatre, long lines of people snaked around the Nintendo booth inside the Los Angeles Convention Center as they waited to try “NintendoLand,” which features minigames inspired by 12 different Nintendo franchises, such as “Legend of Zelda,” “Animal Crossing” and “Donkey Kong.”

Usher talks bringing moves to ‘Dance Central 3’

By Derrik J. Lang AND Ryan Pearson Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Usher thinks gamers will be fallin’ in love with his dance moves.

The 33-year-old R&B star took to the stage Monday at Microsoft’s Electronic Entertainment Expo press conference to unveil his role in “Dance Central 3,” the upcoming third installment of the popular choreography game

developed by Harmonix for Xbox 360’s camera-based Kinect system.

“After looking at the first game, I was like, ‘Man, they didn’t really get the moves right, so I was able to 100 percent give them accuracy through choreography from videos, as well as from my live performance,” Usher said backstage after he performed “Scream” at the industry trade show.

Usher’s songs “Scream”

and “OMG” featuring will.i.am are in the upcoming game. He acknowledged that working on “Dance Central 3” was a new experience since he was only familiar with older titles.

“At some point, I had to put them down because my thumbs were black and blue,” Usher said.

“I still have the callouses built up. You see this little black mark right here? That’s from hours and hours of ‘Tecmo Bowl’ and ‘Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out.’”

Other tunes set to be featured in the third edition of the franchise include 50 Cent’s “In Da Club,” Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive,” Van McCoy’s “The Hustle” and Cali Swag District’s “Teach Me How to Dougie.”

Usher joked that “Dance Central 3,” which will be available this fall, will give male players with some swagger.

“How many guys don’t know how to move?” he said. “One sure way to make yourself completely

unattractive is to not know how to move at a party. ...Get ‘Dance Central 3,’ learn a few moves, and throw it into your repertoire.”

New features in “Dance Central 3” include a “crew throwdown” mode, which pits two teams of up to four dancers against each other, and the “make your move” mini-game, which will have players competing head-to-head as they create routines on the fly.

This style moves in lockstep with Heller’s “Catch-22,” as does the novel’s central question of whether the troopsupporting public represents the true enemy of the soldier, eager to send the average outbound warrior into the fray again and again.

Bissinger finds his son on the open road “Father’s Day: A Journey Into the Mind & Heart of My Extraordinary Son”

by Buzz Bissinger; Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2012; 256 pages; $26

By Rob Merrill Associated Press

This is not a book that’s going to generate negative reviews. It took courage to write. Any parent reading it will feel blessed that they cannot empathize.

It’s the story of a road trip from Philadelphia to Los Angeles. Buzz Bissinger, the author of “Friday Night Lights,” is driving. His 24-year-old son, Zach, is the co-pilot. But they aren’t your typical cross-country tourists.

Zach Bissinger was born three minutes later than his twin brother and 131/2 weeks premature. “You can boil an egg in three minutes,” writes his dad, and “you can determine the very course of a life in three minutes.”

In those three minutes, Zach’s brain was deprived of enough oxygen to cause permanent damage. He’ll never drive or live alone or have kids. What he does

have is an astounding memory for facts and dates, few social inhibitions and a savant’s knack for navigation.

So off father and son go to revisit the places they’ve lived together. They visit the Chicago Tribune building where dad worked from 1989-1992, the school outside Milwaukee where Zach attempted to attend public kindergarten and Odessa, Texas, for a reunion with tragic football star Boobie Miles.

“Friday Night Lights” fans may be surprised to learn just how dysfunctional the relationship between Bissinger and Miles has become.

The tone throughout “Father’s Day: A Journey Into the Mind & Heart of My Extraordinary Son” is unflinchingly honest. Bissinger isn’t fishing for sympathy.

“He is not the child I wanted,” he writes.

But as the miles unroll and the shared experiences mount, Bissinger comes to appreciate his son’s always-in-the-

moment approach to life, the “failure to forget” that allows him to forge connections and stay grounded.

A little more than midway through the book, there’s a touching scene at Six Flags near St. Louis.

Father and son agree to ride something called Dragon’s Wing, a tandem bungee jump from a crane hoisted 153 feet in the air. Bissinger describes the free fall: “Zach and I merge into one, arm around arm, shoulder against shoulder, the press of his body against mine. I never had that when he was an infant in the hospital. He was almost always attached to the tube of that ventilator. ... But now he is my lifeline, and I am his. If we let go of each other, both of us will surely shatter.”

That’s as good a description of paternal love as you’ll ever read and reason enough to pick up this book for the father or son in your life.

‘Diablo III’: Better the devil you know

Activision Blizzard via Associated Press

Gameplay from ‘Diablo III’ is shown. The epic fantasy role-playing game has been 12 years in the making.

By Lou Kesten Associated Press

The epic fantasy genre has matured in the last decade, thanks to writers like “Game of Thrones” mastermind George R.R. Martin who are less interested in the eternal conflict between good and evil than in the gray areas in between. Video games have followed suit, with ambitious adventures like “Dragon Age: Origins,” “The Witcher II” and “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim” refusing to define their heroes and villains so neatly.

So when “Diablo III” (Blizzard, for the PC/Mac, $59.99) arrived with the tag line “Evil Is Back,” it was hard not to look at it as a throwback of sorts. You know who the troublemakers are in this game: They have red skin, glowing eyes and razor-sharp horns. It’s the devil you know.

That’s not the only thing that will make players wonder where the developers have been since “Diablo II” came out in 2000. The topdown, god’s-eye perspective takes some readjustment after years of battling from protagonist’s point of view. Forget about the open-world exploration of “Skyrim”; “Diablo III” is relentlessly linear. And the combat, at the default setting, rarely demands more than hacking and slashing your way through hordes of easily dispatched monsters.

And yet, “Diablo III” is nearly irresistible.

You start by choosing a character from one of five archetypes: the barbarian and monk, who fight up-close; the demon hunter, who uses long-range weapons; and the wizard and witch doctor, who wield magic.

After a brief video setting up the

tale — a falling star has crashed into the human world, Sanctuary — you’re thrust into the fray.

Once you get into its rhythm — fight, collect your rewards, take a breath before the next fight — “Diablo III” is very hard to shut down. Much of that is due to the uncomplicated controls: You can perform most movement and combat functions by just clicking the mouse keys. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s an upswing in carpal tunnel syndrome cases a few months from now.

There’s also a desire to keep playing just to see what’s around the next corner of the dungeon or over the next dune in the desert. And for many “Diablo” aficionados, that boils down to loot.

Every monster you kill coughs up something — a few gold coins, perhaps, or a chunk of armor.

Tougher creatures tend to yield

more exotic rewards, but the process is randomized, so you never know what you’ll get.

When you get back to town, you can sell whatever you’ve gathered and use the cash to upgrade your weapons and armor. Or you can trade them with other players in an online auction house. Or you can ask the blacksmith to break down items and use the components to build better ones — so you can defeat stronger enemies, which earns you more valuable stuff.

The whole loot-collecting feedback loop is as insidiously addictive as anything in games.

The most irritating element of “Diablo III” is the need to have a steady online connection, even if you’re traveling solo. The online requirement led to chaos when the game was first released, as Blizzard’s servers weren’t able to meet 12 years of pent-up

demand. The situation has been mostly resolved, but there have been a few recent occasions when I wasn’t allowed to log on.

The always-connected environment does let you tackle any of the game’s missions with the help of online friends or strangers. The difficulty automatically increases with multiple players, and it’s fun to chat with other humans in the wastelands of Sanctuary, but the experience isn’t radically different.

After one prolonged session of monster slaying, as the clock approached 4 a.m., a supporting character asked my demon hunter: “Do you ever become weary of strife? Of constant fighting?”

His response: “Rest is a luxury I cannot afford.” You’ll feel the same way after a few hours of “Diablo III.” Three stars out of four.

Talledega College historic murals shown on national tour LaTonya Darrisaw ldarrisaw@annistonstar.com

Every so often snapshots of history are captured in beautiful photographs or various art forms. Single moments in time resurrected through art such as paintings or murals can sometimes tell a story in ways history books can’t.

The “Rising Up: Hale Woodruff’s Murals at Talladega College” exhibition shown at the High Museum in Atlanta opens on Saturday and portrays an important story in history through cleverly crafted brush strokes and vivid colors on six murals measuring between 10 and 20 feet high.

Renowned artist Hale Woodruff was commissioned by Talladega Col-

Rising Up: Hale Woodruff’s Murals at Talladega College

When: Opens Saturday and continues through Sept. 2 Where: High Museum of Art, 1280 Peachtree St. Northeast, Atlanta Cost: Free Contact: 404-733-4400 or www.high.org lege, the state’s oldest historically black college, in 1939 and 1942 to paint the six murals, which were created in two phases using oil on canvas.

Stephanie Heydt, the Margaret & Terry Stent Curator of American Arts, said Woodruff had a “huge impact throughout the Southeast in the 1930s and 1940s.”

“He was engaged with and became

more focused on issues current to him, paying attention to living conditions and conditions of the less fortunate, particularly African-Americans,” Heydt said. “He painted a lot of the things that don’t often find their way into artistic representation. He was a social realist painter.”

The narrative Woodruff told is distinctly painted on each mural. Heydt

said Woodruff wanted to create a fresco style of painting the murals, but it was not possible at the time. Instead, she noted, Woodruff “captured the look of a fresco by using bright colors on a matte surface.”

The first cycle of murals Woodruff created include “The Mutiny on Amistad,” “The Trial of the Amistad Captives” and “The Repatriation of the Freed Captives.” The remaining three murals are more specific to Talladega College, depicting the Underground Railroad, the construction of the Savery Library at Talladega and the first day of school at Talladega following the Civil War. Heydt said there is a broader message audiences will grasp upon view-

ing the exhibition.

“The murals are really about the journey from slavery to freedom overall,” she said. “Overcoming those kinds of challenges and battling oppression and racism are addressed.

At the end of this series, the races were united and came together to build this library.”

The Savery Library is where the murals hung for almost 70 years before the conservation and restoration process started in 2011. During the year-long restorative process, the murals were cleaned and then framed for the tour.

“Taking the murals down and getting them restored and going on a national tour means so much not

only to the history of the institution, but it means a great deal to the city of Talladega and the state of Alabama,” said Talladega College President Billy C. Hawkins. “We would like to think after the murals are presented on this national tour they will become a tourist attraction for the state.”

The exhibition tour begins in Atlanta, but other museums across the country will host the murals over the next three years, including exhibitions in New York, Connecticut, Louisiana and Michigan. Birmingham will be the last stop on the tour.

“One of the benefits from this tour is the education gained through these murals for thousands of students visiting the respective museums at their

institutions,” Hawkins said.

“I think it’s just a great statement for anyone to come and see these glorious stories. They will really appeal to anyone who wanders through the exhibition,” Heydt added. “The murals shown at this exhibition, which were so important in their own day and continue to be important, are really the only time audiences can see the large and vibrant paintings at eyelevel.”

Once the murals are shown at the Birmingham Museum of Art in 2015, they will be returned to the college. By that time, Hawkins hopes they will be hanging in a new museum on campus for people from all over to come and visit.

Pelley marks 1st year as ‘CBS Evening News’ anchor

By David Bauder Associated Press

NEW YORK — As Scott Pelley marks his first year as anchor of the “CBS Evening News,” he’s got his eye on the top of the mountain.

“I’ve got a lot of confidence that we’re going to bring this broadcast to No. 1,” said Pelley, whose first evening newscast was June 6, 2011.

That would definitely be an achievement for CBS News, where the division’s signature broadcast has been a consistent third behind NBC and ABC dating back to the late 1990s — through anchors Dan Rather, Bob Schieffer, Katie Couric and now Pelley.

He still has a way to go, but the trend line is positive. His newscast has averaged 6.03 million viewers a night during the past year, up from 5.72 million for the previous year, according to the Nielsen Co. Ratings leader Brian Williams at NBC’s “Nightly News” has seen his average audience slip from 8.65 million to 8.49 million in the same period. ABC’s “World News,” anchored

by Diane Sawyer, went from 7.68 million to 7.53 million.

During a light month for news in May, all three networks saw their ratings drop compared to May 2011.

While CBS lost an average of 121,000 viewers from last May, NBC lost 1.07 million and ABC 737,000, Nielsen said.

Last week CBS came within 44,000 viewers of ABC among the 25-to-54year-old demographic, the basis for many ad sales for newscasts, and tied in the household ratings for that category.

Pelley said his first priority was to set a new tone for the newscast, wanting it to be a place where a viewer could tune in and feel connected to the most important stories in the world each day. It has concentrated heavily on jobs and the economy and now the European economic crisis, said Patricia Shevlin, the broadcast’s executive producer.

One example this week was a story by reporter Clarissa Ward on economic problems in Spain.

Pelley said he believes the broadcast has improved in all facets and tapped into a reservoir of talent at CBS News.

“These folks needed a little bit of

‘CBS Evening News’ anchor Scott Pelley marked one year on the job Wednesday as anchor of the ‘CBS Evening News.”

“He’s absolutely exceeded expectations in terms of recovering that franchise.”

— Andrew Tyndall, news consulatant direction,” Pelley said. “They needed to know where we were headed, and once we communicated that to them, they have performed magnificently.”

Under Pelley, the “CBS Evening News” has a more traditionalist view of “hard news” than its two rivals, said Andrew Tyndall, a consultant whose website monitors the content of network evening newscasts. Viewers are slowly starting to notice, he said.

“He’s absolutely exceeded expectations in terms of recovering that franchise,” Tyndall said. “He made it a distinctive newscast, he made it a critical success and he’s gotten awards for it.

And that’s the way you have to do it.

You can’t do it the other way around.”

CBS News won a Peabody Award this spring for its reporting on Syria, primarily on the evening news.

Shevlin shares Pelley’s confidence in further ratings success. “I think we’re going to be No. 1,” she said, though neither offered a prediction when that might happen.

CBS has tried a similar turn to harder news with its morning show, though it has yet to see a ratings increase there to match the evening show. Its morning news show has dropped 7 percent in viewership compared to last year, the same percentage as ratings leader “Today” at NBC. Viewership has increased at ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Nielsen said.

Pelley said his broadcast’s approach is being noticed in high places, recalling an interview he conducted last year with Vice President Joe Biden.

When the interview was done, Pelley said, Biden leaned in and said, “I see what you guys are doing. You’re trying to be the broadcast that covers the news.”

Pelley said he thanked him and Biden laughed. “We’ll see if there’s a market for that,” he said.

“The next time I see him, I’m going to say, ‘Mr. Vice President, it turns out there is.’” Pelley said.

New TV series awards bunker to winning survivalist

By David Bauder Associated Press

NEW YORK — The Spike television network is airing a competition this fall to award a fortified bunker to a family that believes the end of the world is near.

Seriously.

The network said Tuesday that its six-episode series called “Last Family on Earth” will feature survivalists competing to show how tough and resourceful they are. The winner gets an underground bunker in an undisclosed location.

Sharon Levy, executive vice president of original programming at Spike, said the series doesn’t necessarily coincide with the theory that the ancient Mayan civilization predicted the end

of the world will arrive in December 2012.

Levy said polls show that many people believe that there will be some catastrophic event like an earthquake or epidemic that threatens civilization, and these are the people who will participate in the show.

“We don’t think there’s anything funny about that,” Levy said. “We think it’s a very interesting segment of the population that is very Spike TV via Associated Press prepared, is highly intelligent.

Paris Jackson talks to Oprah for Sunday interview Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Michael Jackson’s daughter, Paris, talks about her late father in an interview with Oprah Winfrey airing Sunday.

Paris Jackson, 14, will be featured on “Oprah’s Next Chapter,” the channel said Tuesday. She and Winfrey discuss how the teenager is faring three years after the 2009 death of her pop star father.

“It never gets easier,” Paris says in a promotional

spot aired by OWN, which also shows Winfrey asking if Michael Jackson wanted her to have “a quote ‘normal’ life.”

Paris and her brothers, Prince and Blanket, were closely sheltered during Jackson’s life but have been in the public eye since, appearing onstage at Grammy Awards and on other TV shows.

“Oprah’s Next Chapter,” which also will include an interview with Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, will air at 8 p.m. Sunday on OWN.
