Mid-Atlantic Tracks, Churchill Working on Rate Plans - bloodhorse.com The contract dispute concerns simulcasts from all six Churchill Downs Inc. racetracks: Arlington Park, Calder Race Course, Churchill Downs, Ellis Park, Hollywood Park, and Hoosier Park. The situation led Kentucky horsemen to block River Downs and Lebanon from taking Kentucky signals, but after a few years, the two Ohio tracks ended up taking the signals at a higher rate. One year, River Downs and Lebanon paid a prohibitive 18% fee just to simulcast the Derby, and ended up losing money on the deal. news.bloodhorse.com /viewstory.asp?id=15324   (425 words)

Hollywood's dirty little secret Churchill and a few Diggers may have been upset, but the fact is when it comes to Hollywood only the good guys win and, since we're playing with their toys, those good guys must inevitably be Americans. In Operation Hollywood, which SBS screens on Tuesday, filmmaker Emilio Pacull follows up an investigative study by film industry journalist Dave Robb on the help producers have sought from the military over the years. And if Hollywood is to be believed, it was the Americans who captured the Enigma coding machine from a German submarine; never mind that the Brits were there and accomplished that six months before the Yanks entered the war. fairuse.1accesshost.com /news2/age24.html   (983 words)

LEGENDARY SURFER: John Heath "Doc" Ball Doc credit's Owen Churchill for helping provide some enjoyment during those war years, through his invention of the Churchill swim fins. Looking like a Hollywood film actress, she points out the way from Hollywood to Palos Verdes Estates. Made of laminated redwood and balsa which could be milled and joined with waterproof glue -- a relatively new product -- the wood was combined so that the lightness of the balsa ran down the middle and the strength of the redwood went to the stringer and rails. www.legendarysurfers.com /surf/legends/ls07.shtml   (983 words)

OmniNerd - News: Islam May Trump Secular Democracy A few years ago, declassified Soviet intelligence revealed the Rosenbergs were indeed spies for the USSR, and that Alger Hiss (who was at Yalta with FDR when he and Churchill gave Eastern Europe to communist opression), on whose guilt Richard Nixon rode to political prominence, was also guilty as charged. It turns out McCarthy was right about ol' Harry Dexter: the FBI found out two years after he died that the Soviets knew him as codename "Jurist." In 1997 a bipartisan government commission declared: "The complicity of Alger Hiss of the State Department seems settled. Nobody was executed as a result of McCarthy's allegations, it only lasted a couple of years before he was discredited and ostracized, and real, actual communists were flushed out of the U.S. government or scared into staying in the closet. www.omninerd.com /news/news.php?nid=236   (1938 words)

Although the inaugural event was held at Hollywood Park in 1984, a Breeders' Cup commemorative glass was not introduced until the following year at Aqueduct in 1985. www.derbyglass.com /breeders.html   (422 words)

CBS News Real Quiet Runs For The Triple Crown December 13, 1999 05:18:39 Real Quiet broke his maiden, then finished third, with excuses, in the 1 1-16-mie Kentucky Jockey Club last year at Churchill Downs, and concluded his 2-year-old campaign with a victory in the 1 1-16-mile Grade I Hollywood Futurity on Oct. 14 at Hollywood Park. If Real Quiet prevails in the Belmont Stakes, he'll be welcomed in the winner's circle by Bob Baffert, who two years running has put the trophies on his head after winning the Kentucky Derby and Preakness.

Film Review: Churchill: The Hollywood Years Jon Culshaw as "the Prime Minister," suddenly confronted with the Churchill conspiracy, is a joy to watch, as it's quite obvious to a British audience who he really is. The Brits are meant to see Tony Blair desperately trying to wriggle out of another trail of lies. Alongside Culshaw's efforts to raise the standard, the only other notable performance comes from comedienne Sally Phillips, playing a comely waitress heavily embroiled in Churchill and Princess Elizabeth escaping on the Royal train. He asks the audience to laugh at the same joke - the King doesn't know what planet he's on - throughout the entire film. www.iofilm.co.uk /fm/c/churchill_the_hollywood_years_2004.shtml   (520 words)

In the Shadow of Mt. Hollywood Erin O'Connor cites the Ward Churchill case in a recent post on misrepresenting the academy: "The University of Colorado correctly decided last spring that Churchill's speech was fully protected by the First Amendment and that it should not attempt to sanction or discipline him for his speech." She continues, "Where are the fact checkers?" John Holbo teaches the philosophy of literary theory, or something like that, and it's difficult to see how he could oppose at least the idea of literary theory as a specialty within Eng Lit. To that extent, William Pannapacker's expectations, while reasonable on the surface, simply don't carry through based on a closer inspection of The Valve, the backgrounds of its members, the contents of their posts, and the views and reactions of regular commenters. mthollywood.blogspot.com   (520 words)
