Billy Joel and Katie Lee Are Confirming A Split
In a statement, they said that they remain "caring friends with admiration and respect for each other." Billy and Katie got married five years ago at Joel's mansion on New York's LI. It was the Billy Joel's third marriage, Katie's first. The 60-year-old Billy is one of pop's most successful singer-songwriters; Katie Lee Joel hosted the first season of Bravo TV's "Top Chef." Billy recorded the song "All My Life" as an anniversary gift to his 27-year-old wife two years ago.
The Next Generation of Media And Entertainment
Centennial College in Toronto Canada is pleased to announce a new joint post-graduate program, where innovations in robotics technology, the power of the mobile internet and 3D cinematic storytelling will merge to create the next generation of media and entertainment experiences.
The new Media Engineering Design Integration (MEDI) program, starting in January 2010, is a unique post-graduate course offered jointly by Centennial's School of Communications, Media and Design and the School of Engineering, Technology and Applied Science, focused on the development of innovative products and interactive environments that are changing the way we think about media. And amidst a global economic crisis, that could also mean the promise of new ideas, new products and potentially new jobs for the Canadian media industry.
Nate Horowitz, Dean of the School of Communications, Media and Design at Centennial College said that this program will help to build a new future for the media sector, and create a need for careers that we never dreamed possible 10 years ago. This program is about inventing what's next, engineering with media and combining these two disciplines to create the future of information and entertainment products.
Toronto is ideally positioned to take advantage of this new era in media, given its proximity to a number of integrating sectors in media, design, technology and engineering creating an energetic and cross-connecting creative cluster.
Designed as a unique post-graduate and hybrid program, MEDI is focused on design, production and management of media products and applications for wireless devices, interactive museum and retail installations, digital signage systems and networks and more.
Courses will range from an introduction to media engineering, to design and development, to understanding the marketing cycle, and complemented with an industry field placement. But most important, the program will prepare students to think entrepreneurially and to thrive in a state of constant change and progress.
Continental Breakfast 2009
Event will take place at the European Year of Creativity and Innovation 2009
under the patronage of Jan Figel, Member of the European Commission, responsible for Education, Training, Culture and Youth.
It is the Fourth CEI Venice Forum for Contemporary Art Curators from Central Eastern Europe. Pass 2009 is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, the 3rd of June, from 9.30am to 1pm and from 2.30pm to 6pm, at the UNESCO Office in Venice-Regional Bureau for Science and Culture in Europe (BRESCE). The meeting will be the fifth edition of a biennial event which will be opened to Central Eastern European (CEE) experts and curators and to the commissioners of the Venice Biennale responsible for the national pavilions of the CEE countries. It will be organised under the patronage of Central European Initiative (CEI).
The Venice Forum is promoted by the Trieste Contemporanea Committee in collaboration with the UNESCO Office in Venice - UNESCO Regional Bureau for Science and Culture in Europe (BRESCE) and is an activity of the international project Continental Breakfast, that fosters and supports the creation of partnership projects and multidimensional capacity building exchange programmes in the field of contemporary art in Central Eastern Europe and is composed at present by a network of institutions in Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Italy, Macedonia, Poland, Serbia, Slovenia, Turkey and United Kingdom.
Apart from the presentation of contributions by the representatives of most CEI countries, the programme will include case studies and comprehensive debates with the public.
The 2009 Venice Forum will include a Special Section for the first time dedicated to curators and critics from Central Asia.
In the European Year of Creativity and Innovation, the 2009 CEI Venice Forum wishes to offer a challenging critical standpoint to the issue, focusing on current debates in the art field. In order to inquire how art curators would be able to forward new issues concerning the role assigned to art in the production of visual meaning with regard to the new use of images created for mediation and transmission, the Forum's key questions will include:
- what are the criteria of evaluation and acknowledgement currently used by curators for defining and distinguishing the cultural innovation and the responsibility of contemporary visual arts?
- which are today the appropriate and delegated places for receiving and promoting artistic creative innovation?
which, after the experimental edition of 2001, adopted the Venice Forum as one of its Feature Cultural Events.

Dance Parade in New York
New York has never celebrated the forms of dance that it has birthed until now: Voguing, Jazz, the Jitterbug, Punk, Gothic- even Salsa was birthed in the Cuban Communities in this great city. And it is now time for Dance. New York has enjoyed the last three years of a September Art Parade and since May 2007, is finally honoring Dance in a similar fashion.
