one reason : columbo is a working - class hero .
it was always him against a very wealthy man or individual ,
link says .
some historians have questioned whether william shakespeare actually existed , considering the scant evidence on him .
ironically , levinson and link originally wanted bing crosby for the role .
were we crazy ? ,
link says , laughing .
he was very cool , but he was funny if you think of the ' road ' pictures . he was obviously an intelligent man . he had the pipe instead of the cigars peter had .
william is thought to have revived his father’s lapsed application for a family coat of arms in 1596 .
william is said to be ending his helicopter - pilot career in order to focus on royal duties .

scant records exist of william & apos ; s childhood , and virtually none regarding his education . scholars have surmised that he most likely attended the king & apos ; s new school , in stratford , which taught reading , writing and the classics . being a public official & apos ; s child , william would have undoubtedly qualified for free tuition . but this uncertainty regarding his education has led some to raise questions about the authorship of his work and even about whether or not william shakespeare ever existed .

he was born during the reign of queen elizabeth i , who had recently converted england to protestantism . shakespeare’s parents had been catholics , and the tension between the new and old religions can be seen in much of his work . william’s father , john shakespeare , was a member of the borough council of stratford - upon - avon . william was the third of eight children , though his two elder siblings did not survive childhood .
tradition has it that william shakespeare died on his 52nd birthday , april 23 , 1616 , though many scholars believe this is a myth . church records show he was interred at trinity church on april 25 , 1616 .
now , just like his grandfather , william is reportedly stepping away from risky piloting . he’s also said to be increasing his royal duties , albeit remaining in the background to let his father prince charles , the heir - apparent to the throne , take a leading role . “william is believed to be acutely conscious that his emergence as a full - time royal should not overshadow his father’s role as heir to the throne , ” the times writes . while william likely always knew a time would come when he would have to shift his focus from being an air - ambulance pilot to a full - time royal , he is reportedly saddened at leaving his career behind .
“in what is described as a ‘big shift’ in prince william’s approach to his royal role , the duke will leave his job with the east anglian air ambulance this summer , ” the times reported on sunday . william will reportedly end his career as an air - ambulance helicopter pilot based in norfolk , and he and his family will officially call kensington palace their home . prince george and princess charlotte will attend school in london following the move from anmer hall .

in the last decade of the 19th century , politics came to dominate william randolph hearst & apos ; s newspapers and ultimately reveal his complex political views . while his paper supported the democratic party , he opposed the party & apos ; s 1896 candidate for president , william jennings bryan . in 1898 , hearst pushed for war with spain to liberate cuba , which the democrats opposed . hearst’s own lavish lifestyle insulated him from the troubled masses that he seemed to champion in his newspapers .

william howard taft , the 27th president of the united states , fulfilled a lifelong dream when he was appointed chief justice of the supreme court , becoming the only person to have served as both a u . s . chief justice and president .
while it’s difficult to determine the exact chronology of william shakespeare’s plays , over the course of two decades , from about 1590 to 1613 , he wrote a total of 37 plays revolving around several main themes : histories , tragedies , comedies and tragicomedies .
william shakespeare married anne hathaway on november 28 , 1582 , in worcester , in canterbury province . hathaway was from shottery , a small village a mile west of stratford . william was 18 and anne was 26 , and , as it turns out , pregnant . their first child , a daughter they named susanna , was born on may 26 , 1583 . two years later , on february 2 , 1585 , twins hamnet and judith were born . hamnet later died of unknown causes at age 11 .

william shakespeare , also known as the
bard of avon ,
is often called england ' s national poet and considered the greatest dramatist of all time . shakespeare ' s works are known throughout the world , but his personal life is shrouded in mystery .
what seems to be true is that william shakespeare was a respected man of the dramatic arts who wrote plays and acted in some in the late 16th and early 17th centuries . but his reputation as a dramatic genius wasn & apos ; t recognized until the 19th century . beginning with the romantic period of the early 1800s and continuing through the victorian period , acclaim and reverence for william shakespeare and his work reached its height . in the 20th century , new movements in scholarship and performance have rediscovered and adopted his works .

known throughout the world , the works of william shakespeare have been performed in countless hamlets , villages , cities and metropolises for more than 400 years . and yet , the personal history of william shakespeare is somewhat a mystery . there are two primary sources that provide historians with a basic outline of his life . one source is his work — the plays , poems and sonnets — and the other is official documentation such as church and court records . however , these only provide brief sketches of specific events in his life and provide little on the person who experienced those events .

about 150 years after his death , questions arose about the authorship of william shakespeare & apos ; s plays . scholars and literary critics began to float names like christopher marlowe , edward de vere and francis bacon — men of more known backgrounds , literary accreditation , or inspiration — as the true authors of the plays . much of this stemmed from the sketchy details of shakespeare & apos ; s life and the dearth of contemporary primary sources . official records from the holy trinity church and the stratford government record the existence of a william shakespeare , but none of these attest to him being an actor or playwright .
in william shakespeare & apos ; s final period , he wrote several tragicomedies . among these are cymbeline , the winter & apos ; s tale and the tempest . though graver in tone than the comedies , they are not the dark tragedies of king lear or macbeth because they end with reconciliation and forgiveness .
william mckinley was born january 29 , 1843 in niles , ohio . following his service in the union army during the civil war under rutherford hayes , he was drawn to service in the republican party . yellow journalism at the time urged mckinley to start a war with spain , leading to an american global empire .

william mckinley was born january 29 , 1843 , in niles , ohio . as a young man , he briefly attended allegheny college before taking a post as a country schoolteacher . when the civil war broke out in 1861 , mckinley enlisted in the union army ; he eventually earned the rank of brevet major of volunteers .
mckinley won the republican presidential nomination in 1896 thanks to his congressional and gubernatorial experience , his longtime support of protectionism and the skilled maneuvering of his chief supporter , the wealthy ohio industrialist marcus alonzo hanna . in the general election , mckinley faced william jennings bryan , who ran on a platform attacking the gold standard and supporting the coinage of silver as well as gold .
as his father was now a bailiff , young william probably attended the local grammar school . its curriculum emphasised greek classics and pupils also learned plays in latin . religious education was also important , and shakespeare drew on these sources in his later work with classical and religious allusions . shakespeare probably attended school until about age 15 . there is no record of him going to university .
by the early 1590s , documents show william shakespeare was a managing partner in the lord chamberlain & apos ; s men , an acting company in london with which he was connected for most of his career . considered the most important troupe of its time , the company changed its name to the king & apos ; s men following the crowning of king james i , in 1603 .
as editor , william randolph hearst adopted a sensational brand of reporting later known as
yellow journalism ,
with sprawling banner headlines and hyperbolic stories , many based on speculation and half - truths . about one quarter of the page space was devoted to crime stories , but the paper also conducted investigative reports on government corruption and negligence by public institutions . in a few years , circulation increased and the paper prospered .
by 1599 , william shakespeare and his business partners built their own theater on the south bank of the thames river , which they called the globe . in 1605 , shakespeare purchased leases of real estate near stratford for 440 pounds , which doubled in value and earned him 60 pounds a year . this made him an entrepreneur as well as an artist , and scholars believe these investments gave him the time to write his plays uninterrupted .
by the 1920s , one in every four americans read a hearst newspaper . william randolph hearst’s media empire had grown to include 20 daily and 11 sunday papers in 13 cities . he controlled the king features syndicate and the international news service , as well as six magazines , including cosmopolitan , good housekeeping and harper & apos ; s bazaar . he also ventured into motion pictures with a newsreel and a film company . he and his empire were at their zenith .
in 1941 , young film director orson welles produced citizen kane , a thinly veiled biography of the rise and fall of william randolph hearst . nominated for nine academy awards , the film was praised for its innovative cinematography , music and narrative structure , and has subsequently been voted one of the world’s greatest films . hearst was not pleased . he mustered his resources to prevent release of the film and even offered to pay for the destruction of all the prints . welles refused , and the film survived and thrived .
it was in william shakespeare & apos ; s later period , after 1600 , that he wrote the tragedies hamlet , othello , king lear and macbeth . in these , shakespeare & apos ; s characters present vivid impressions of human temperament that are timeless and universal . possibly the best known of these plays is hamlet , which explores betrayal , retribution , incest and moral failure . these moral failures often drive the twists and turns of shakespeare & apos ; s plots , destroying the hero and those he loves .
on april 27 , 1903 , william randolph hearst married 21 - year - old millicent willson , a showgirl , in new york city . it is believed the marriage was as much a political arrangement as it was an attraction to glamour for hearst . millicent’s mother reputedly ran a tammany hall–connected brothel in the city , and hearst undoubtedly saw the advantage of being well - connected to the democratic center of power in new york . millicent bore hearst five sons , all of whom followed their father into the media business .
born in san francisco , california , on april 29 , 1863 , william randolph hearst used his wealth and privilege to build a massive media empire . a founder of
yellow journalism ,
he was praised for his success and vilified by his enemies . at one point , he considered running for the u . s . presidency . the great depression took a toll on hearst & apos ; s company and his influence gradually waned , though his company survived . hearst died in beverly hills , california , in 1951 .
fans of the crown know that william’s grandfather , prince philip , faced a similar decision after his wife became queen elizabeth ii . after they were first married , philip served in the royal navy . as king george vi & apos ; s health became progressively worse , however , philip was forced to take an open - ended leave from the navy . his career officially ended when the king died , and elizabeth ascended the throne . philip became the queen’s consort , and he looked for other ways to fill his time .
he took over management of the royal estates , helped plan elizabeth’s coronation , and embarked on what would become the patronage of more than 800 charities in the following decades . he also took up flying , reportedly hoping to receive his pilot’s license faster than anyone else in history . philip’s aviation - related aspirations rankled the government . he was forced to curtail riskier in - air behaviors , which frustrated philip . although he continued to pilot planes , his situation mirrors william’s in that they both had to remain grounded when it came to putting their royal duties first .
in addition to nature , ehrlich draws his design inspiration from objects of the art nouveau and arts and crafts periods , both of which he collects . william morris is a particular favorite . “designing makes you feel connected to other creators , which is really nice , ” he says . “if you’re just collecting or if you’re just academically looking at things , you have a more analytical and maybe judgmental attitude toward it , but you don’t feel connected to the creative spirit in the same way . this takes you into a much more intimate relationship with that earlier process . ”
with the exception of the tragic love story romeo and juliet , william shakespeare & apos ; s first plays were mostly histories . henry vi ( parts i , ii and iii ) , richard ii and henry v dramatize the destructive results of weak or corrupt rulers , and have been interpreted by drama historians as shakespeare & apos ; s way of justifying the origins of the tudor dynasty . julius caesar portrays upheaval in roman politics that may have resonated with viewers at a time when england’s aging monarch , queen elizabeth i , had no legitimate heir , thus creating the potential for future power struggles .
after his flameout in politics , william randolph hearst returned full - time to his publishing business . in 1917 , hearst’s roving eye fell upon ziegfeld follies showgirl marion davies , and by 1919 he was openly living with her in california . that same year , hearst’s mother , phoebe , died , leaving him the family’s fortune , which included a 168 , 000 - acre ranch in san simeon , california . over the next several decades , hearst spent millions of dollars expanding the property , building a baroque - style castle , filling it with european artwork , and surrounding it with exotic animals and plants .
william shakespeare & apos ; s early plays were written in the conventional style of the day , with elaborate metaphors and rhetorical phrases that didn & apos ; t always align naturally with the story & apos ; s plot or characters . however , shakespeare was very innovative , adapting the traditional style to his own purposes and creating a freer flow of words . with only small degrees of variation , shakespeare primarily used a metrical pattern consisting of lines of unrhymed iambic pentameter , or blank verse , to compose his plays . at the same time , there are passages in all the plays that deviate from this and use forms of poetry or simple prose .
in 1900 , william randolph hearst followed his father & apos ; s example and entered politics . having established newspapers in several more cities , including chicago , boston and los angeles , he began his quest for the u . s . presidency , spending $ 2 million in the process . the journey didn & apos ; t last long . hearst did win election to the house of representatives in 1902 and 1904 . however , maintaining his media empire while also running for mayor of new york city and governor of new york left him little time to actually serve in congress . angered colleagues and voters retaliated and he lost both new york races , ending his political career .
with the success of the examiner , william randolph hearst set his sights on larger markets and his former idol , now rival , joseph pulitzer . he purchased the new york morning journal ( formerly owned by pulitzer ) in 1895 , and a year later began publishing the evening journal . he strove to win the circulation wars by employing the same brand of journalism he had at the examiner . competition was fierce , with hearst cutting the newspaper’s price to one cent . pulitzer countered by matching that price . hearst retaliated by raiding the world ’s staff , offering higher salaries and better positions . by 1897 , hearst’s two new york papers had bested pulitzer , with a combined circulation of 1 . 5 million .

the series ' co - creator discusses peter falk ' s raincoat and his late writing partner richard levinson .
considering he ' s one of the most iconic of tv characters , the brilliant , rumpled bed of a detective lt . columbo had quite an inauspicious start .
they resurrected him two years later for the play
prescription : murder ,
which starred joseph cotten as the murderer , agnes moorehead as his wife ( whom he kills ) and oscar - winning actor thomas mitchell (
stagecoach ,
gone with the wind
) as columbo .
at the end at the curtain calls … when mitchell came out people went crazy . dick and i looked at each other and said , ' this is one of the cops we created , why is he so popular ? '
and the setup was unique . audiences knew from the start whom the murderer was — in fact , the opening act would follow the murderer as he or she planned the crime and executed it . so the fun was to watch the battle of wits between columbo and the culprit , because the murderer would never guess that the quirky columbo would be smart enough to solve the case . whenever one heard him say ,
just one more thing ,
audiences knew he had gotten his man .
sealing the deal , though , was peter falk ' s brilliant , multi - emmy - winning performance as the lapd detective . he transformed the character into a household name first in two tv movies : 1967 ' s
prescription : murder
and 1971 ' s
ransom for a dead man ,
then in an nbc series , which ran from 1971to ' 77 . it was resurrected in 1989 on abc , where it continued through 1993 . falk is 82 and continued working until a few years ago .
that was falk ' s own ill - fitting raincoat he wore during the run of the series , ditto the shapeless green suit and old shoes . levinson once told the press , in fact , that their show had the cheapest wardrobe outside of big bird on
sesame street .
besides
columbo ,
they created 13 more on - air series , including
murder , she wrote ,
mannix ,
mccloud ,
ellery queen
and
the bold ones .
they also wrote the groundbreaking 1972 abc tv movie
that certain summer ,
starring hal holbrook as a divorced father with a teenage son ( scott jacoby ) who informs his son that he is gay . martin sheen plays holbrook ' s lover .
the two came up with the idea after learning that one of their gay friends at universal had been married , had a son and then came out of the closet . after having lunch with their friend ,
i said to dick , ' you know there is a drama about a man who leaves his wife because he comes out of the closet but his son doesn ' t know how to deal with the fact that his father is gay . ' back then we could write a gay drama for broadway or off - broadway , but television was a no - no . a guy used to come to our office and say , ' what do you have for abc ? ' we mentioned this gay father - son project and he said , ' you know , i think my boss , barry diller , would be interested . '
so they took the idea to diller , who had created the movie - of - the - week concept at abc .
he said , ' take a shot at it . ' he loved it , but now i have to sell it to the network . we got rave reviews , but the only emmy was for the actor who played the son .
the mysteries were intellectual exercises full of twists and surprises . we had fun doing them - - as much as you can have fun under very tight television schedules and budgets and trying to get the best work out of your actors .

the challenge : many critical wildlife surveys , such as the north american breeding bird survey ( bbs ) , are analyzed using complex hierarchical models . these models are generally multi - scale and contain random effects ; the standard approaches to model selection and assessment of model fit are often inappropriate and no simple way exists to compare alternative models . however , a clear need exists . . .
the challenge : over the last half of the 20th century , the breeding range of american black duck ( anas rubripes ) has contracted from central canada and the northeastern united states toward eastern canada . this reduction in size of the breeding range has been reflected in a steady decline of black ducks counted during winter surveys , both the midwinter waterfowl survey conducted by the u . s . . . .
the challenge : population status information is required for management of migratory bird populations , and structured decision making and adaptive management place additional emphasis on the need for rigorous survey designs and robust estimation methods . the north american breeding bird survey ( bbs ) and christmas bird count ( cbc ) provide continent - scale information on breeding and wintering . . .
the challenge : much of wildlife research consists of the description of variation in data . some of the variation results from spatial and temporal change in populations , while some results from biologically irrelevant sampling variation induced by the process of data collection . distinguishing relevant from irrelevant variation is the first task of statistical analysis , but the job does not . . .
the challenge : wildlife science and management are guided by data , and it is unquestionably the case that the greatest success occurs when good data are analyzed by good statistical methods .
the challenge : diclofenac is a non - steroidal anti - inflammatory drug that has been used by veterinarians for the treatment of inflammation , fever and pain in domestic livestock . this drug appears to have been the principal cause of a severe population crash of vultures of the genus gyps in india and pakistan . vultures unintentionally ingested diclofenac when scavenging livestock treated shortly . . .
the north american breeding bird survey ( bbs ) provides data for > 420 bird species at multiple geographic scales over 5 decades . modern computational methods have facilitated the fitting of complex hierarchical models to these data . it is easy to propose and fit new models , but little attention has been given to model selection . here , we discuss . . .
the vision of chandler ( chan ) s . robbins for a continental - scale omnibus survey of breeding birds led to the development of the north american breeding bird survey ( bbs ) . chan was uniquely suited to develop the bbs . his position as a government scientist had given him experience with designing and implementing continental - scale surveys , his . . .
the north american breeding bird survey ( bbs ) contains data for > 700 bird species , but analyses often focus on a core group of ∼420 species . we analyzed data for 122 species of north american birds for which data exist in the north american breeding bird survey ( bbs ) database but are not routinely analyzed on the bbs summary and analysis . . .

for “swept away” . this three - minute and 12 - second piece starts with an introduction from stacchi . he tells us how the deconstruction works before we checkout the dam burst sequence . we get four angles : storyboards , layout , animation and final lighting . there’s also a composite screen that shows all four at once . this is a typical feature for animation dvds , but that doesn’t make it less satisfying ; it’s a good way to examine the various stages .

sharpness appeared immaculate . at no time did any softness mar the presentation . instead , it appeared crisp and well - defined . jagged edges and shimmering appeared absent , and i noticed no signs of edge enhancement . in addition , the movie suffered from no source flaws .
audio quality seemed positive . dialogue always came across as natural and warm , and i detected no concerns related to edginess or intelligibility . music appeared bright and dynamic , with concise highs and rich lows . effects also were tight and realistic . those elements betrayed no distortion , as they consistently appeared clean and accurate . the effects provided some decent bass response as well , though i thought that side of things could have been more forceful . the track wasn’t quite active enough to enter “a” territory , but it was still a very good mix .
lets us play a variation on the popular tv game show . it shows you clips from the film and requires you to identify elements . it’s a trusting game , as you tell the player if you’re correct . this never becomes particularly challenging or interesting , and it goes on forever before it finally ends . at least it comes with a reward : an alternate “i wanna lose control” music video .

open season is presented in 1080p with a 1 : 85 : 1 aspect ratio , encoded in avc , and is the first of sony titles to use avc . good choice because it is absolutely stunning to look at , nearly perfect in every way . there is absolutely no video or chroma noise to be found anywhere . the amount of detail is positively outstanding by any measure . blacks are inky , contrast superb , and the color gamut is explored to the fullest . a lot of cgi based direct to digital animation uses post tools to make their video look more like film , here that is not the case . the picture is sharp as a tack , which gives you the ability to see the individual hairs on boog ' s coat , even the smallest bit of detail on clothing , skin , and in the background shots as well . individual blades of grass are finely rendered . unlike some animation titles i have seen , there is no color banding to be found . colors had pop , but lacked the fine gradations of let ' s say a pixar presentation . i do not think i have seen any hd titles that have a look as consistently clean as open season does . even the night scenes have a clean blue look to them with nary a bit of video noise to be found .
. much of the movie favored the front channels , but the mix opened up well when appropriate . all the animal escapades gave us some sonic activity , and the soundfield matched the film nicely . music always demonstrated positive stereo imaging , and the effects created a realistic and involving sense of atmosphere . when the action heated up , the surrounds added a fine layer of material .

otherwise , i can’t find any standout work from the actors . i suppose it’s a victory that lawrence – an actor i don’t much like – manages to remain inoffensive here . he doesn’t add to the part , but he doesn’t detract either . the rest of the cast seems fine but not particularly memorable .

is a very short to watch as much to review , and very barely fun as promised to be , so no much words to say about it .
all of this leaves open season as a perfectly watchable but perfectly forgettable animated adventure . it doesn’t seem as relentlessly bland as the wild , but it lacks the comic spark of madagascar . this is the kind of flick that offers passable entertainment for an hour and a half and then completely leaves your memory .
i ' d never liked of open season franchise , the film either or not in straight - to - dvd , and not even i was a little boy . and this short don ' t deliver the same laughs it should be , or how they expected to promise , unfortunately , because i want to .

for an inspired animated romp will depart disappointed . the movie avoids the bland mediocrity of some flicks but never manages to make its own name for itself . it feels too derivative and doesn’t boast much to allow it to amuse or delight . the dvd presents excellent picture along with solid audio and a collection of reasonably interesting extras . this is a good release for a second - tier animated flick .

suffers from the moderately hyperactive tone that negatively affects so much work of this sort these days . modern animated movies don’t seem content to let stories and characters develop . instead , they prefer to throw as many gags at us as they can , with plenty of wacky characters and situations . it doesn’t appear to matter if these fit the story ; the filmmakers seem afraid to let the pace ease at any point in the fear that we might get bored , i guess .
