Into the Woods
The rich mix of 100 paintings, drawings, photographs and tourist souvenirs supplies the back story to important advancements in 19th-century art by relating them to the place where they were conceived. It situates green thickets, starry nights and red-streaked skies by such well-known artists as Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, Jean Francois Millet and Claude Monet within the well-traveled Fontainebleau forest and nearby villages of Barbizon and Chailly.
This relational view is expanded through early photographs of the forest and its environs. Prints made from paper negatives and collodion processes are hung next to paintings and drawings to reveal a shared vision of place across different media. Monet's majestic tree-lined scene of the road through Fontainebleau, for example, is nearly identical to the pictures shot earlier by photographers Gustave Le Gray and Eugene Cuvelier.
Girardi, Please Don’t Default to the Vets
Joe Girardi has a ton of bullpen options in the Yankee's camp. The Yankees could probably make two bullpens - both better than the Giant's relief corps - from their group. Chad Jennings has an extensive rundown of the Yankee's options here. The Yankees may have a lot of decent options, but they'll need more than a decent bullpen to beat the Red Sox this year. Here is the depth chart that I would draw, assuming that Girardi carries 12 pitchers. The Starters 1. Chien-Ming Wang - Pencil in him for 200-220 innings with an ERA of 3.70. Better yet, use pen. 2. Andy Pettitte - Despite all the health worries, he's missed just 1 start in 3 years, pitching at least 214 innings each time. 3. Mike Mussina - I have a feeling that you'll see a marked improvement from last year, thanks in part to Dave Eiland.
At a Cinema Near You
From Dark Castle, the Joel Silver-Robert Zemeckis joint venture that brought us genre films like Gothika (2003) and House of Wax (2005), comes this horror flick with religious overtones. Hilary Swank plays Katherine, a former Christian missionary who, after the tragic death of her family, travels to a small Louisiana town that is suffering from what appear to be Biblical plagues: Swarms of locusts fill the skies and the rivers turn to blood. Katherine is called in as an expert in disproving spiritual phenomena, but seems to have no scientific ground to stand on when it comes to this middle-of-nowhere town. And before she can save the town she must regain her faith to combat the dark forces that science cannot explain. SUNSHINEStarring Michelle Yeoh, Cillian Murphy, Chris Evans, Troy Garity and Rose Byrne Directed by Danny Boyle (Release: April 11) In this 2001: A Space Odyssey meets Armageddon sci-fi mix, a crew of eight astronauts from across the globe travel with a device that can breathe life into the dying sun.
Argentine Mascherano signs new Liverpool deal
He joined Liverpool on loan from fellow Premier League club West Ham United in January 2007 before helping his new team reach the Champions League final in May. Liverpool spokesman Ian Cotton said: "Javier Mascherano came to Liverpool on a fixed term contract under an agreement disclosed to and approved by both the Football Association and Premier League. "His contract has now been extended under the provisions of that agreement... We have no further comment to make," he added in an email to Reuters. "Our overriding thought is we are delighted to have signed a world class player on a long contract," chief executive Rick Parry said on the Web site. Mascherano joined West Ham in a controversial double move with compatriot Carlos Tevez in August 2006 in which they were loaned to the London club by Media Sports Investments (MSI).
