Super Bowl XLIII in DTS Neutral Sound

dts-horz-colorHere is a big bonus for all people eagerly awaiting the Super Bowl XLIII. As an added bonus to this prestigious event, DTS and the NFL have agreed to combine forces to deliver better quality sound for the HD international broadcast of Super Bowl XLIII from Tampa, Florida. This means that DTS Neural Surround™ technology will enable international TV viewers to experience the game in 5.1 surround sound using any consumer surround sound system.

DTS Neural Surround provides a revolutionary new approach to surround sound production and playback for live broadcasts. It enables broadcasters to create and deliver superior multi-channel surround sound using minimal bandwidth over stereo channels.

For Super Bowl XLIII, this technology allows the NFL’s on-site broadcast crews to produce the game in 5.1 surround sound while then transmitting the mix in a stereo format to audiences around the globe.

SuperValu Pulls Out Certain Ice Cream Novelties

logo_sv-logoIn a move to avoid being included in the list of potential products contaminated with the Salmonella issue, SuperValu has voluntarily recalled various ice cream flavors with peanut products which may potentially be contaminated with salmonella. While there was no supporting proof that these brands, Cub, Jewel, Flavorite, and Richfood, were positively contaminated with Salmonella, SuperValu did not wait for that to happen to avoid the embarrassment.

The products were sold at some SUPERVALU-owned stores including bigg’s, Cub Foods, Farm Fresh, Hornbacher’s, Jewel-Osco, and Shoppers Food & Pharmacy in all of the states where they operate. The identified items have not been directly linked to the salmonella outbreak and there have been no reported cases of the illness.

In order to promote the oldest S&M magazine in the Netherlands, MASSAD, during S & M fetish parties, Sofia Valentine—a well known Dutch porn actress—walks around and uses a very special S & M advertising weapon on the crowd. Whenever Sofia decides to use the so-called Spankvertising Whip, the message ‘Massad, the SM magazine’ appears on the red glowing buttocks of her subject for all other visitors to see.

John Legend Speaks at Kaplan University

logo_kaplan-higher-edRecording artist and 5-time Grammy award winner John Legend has been invited to speak in front of the Talent Campaign of Kaplan University. John Legend will celebrate the academic achievements of hundreds of online graduates from the Kaplan University Winter class of 2009, and share his insights about one of the five cornerstones essential to men and women; education.

Legend passionately advocates continuing education as a way to help increase one’s individual capacity, that of the nation and society as a whole. And he’s not alone. According to a recent survey conducted by Kaplan University, 71 percent of U.S. adults believe that the nation can improve its economic standing if more people earn college degrees.

This will take place on January 31, 10 A.M. to 12 P.M. at the James L. Knight International Center.

Slumdog Millionaire Scripter Continues Award Romp

_mg_7090_adj_eOne would think that winning an Oscar for best script is enough to gain attention. However it seems that the people behind the Slumdog Millionaire are far from over as far as awards are concerned. In fact, they just got awarded another one, taking the top honors at the USC Libraries Scripter Award ceremony.

Simon Beaufoy, who accepted the award from Curtis, selection committee chair Naomi Foner, and Glenn Sonnenberg, president of the Friends of the USC Libraries, said, “There’s nothing like this in Britain to honor the writers. This event is wonderful because it takes the contributions of screenwriters seriously.”

Directed by Danny Boyle, Slumdog tells the story of a chai wallah from the Dharavi slums of Mumbai who captivates all of India with his improbable string of correct answers—all based on his life experiences—on the Indian version of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire? A fable set in India during the age of outsourcing and global call centers, Slumdog has so far garnered 4 Golden Globe Awards, 10 Oscar nominations, and 11 BAFTA nominations.
