| Hasbro Previews G.I. Joe , Hulk , Iron Man , Indy & Clone Wars
Their Marvel line will include Iron Man's Hulkbuster armor from "World War Hulk," as a tie-in to the two Marvel movies. You can check some of those out here. Hasbro's 2008 line of Indiana Jones toys will roll-out in four waves that include characters and vehicles from all four movies, starting with Raiders of the Lost Ark and the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull on May 1, then figures from "The Last Crusade" will follow in July and "Temple of Doom" in September, although Hasbro has promised that these will be ongoing toys and not just done simply to tie into the movie. There was more secrecy revolving around the upcoming "Crystal Skull" than any other movie presented by Hasbro with a bunch of the toys not shown at all, since some of them might give away key plot points of what happens in the movie.
Great music, good cause
And he feels there will always be a place for folk. "Popular music revolves around stark, realistic images of society today," he said. "Folk music is like a painting. Folk music is like art." Having just released his 12th CD, "Blue Roads, Red Wine," May is perhaps one of the area's best-known folk and Celtic performers. He's a regular at Kells Irish Pub in Portland, as well as the Horse Brass Pub where the birthday party that spawned Winterfolk was held 20 years ago. Don Younger, owner of the Horse Brass Pub, said May continues to draw large crowds when performing at the pub. "It's his voice," Younger said. "He has one of the most beautiful voices. "He's got a reputation well beyond this place," Younger said. "He has fans who have followed him for 25 years and has new ones that have just found him.
The C-J's Sunday College Basketball Notebook
The 6-foot-8 Stewart played 21 minutes in UK's 93-52 loss at Vanderbilt last week, more than he'd played in the previous 11 games combined. Five times during that 11-game span, Stewart didn't play at all. But coach Billy Gillispie said Stewart is improving in practice, and though Stewart had as many turnovers (three) as points in the Vandy game, Gillispie said the freshman "played all right." Stewart tied his career high with six rebounds against the Commodores. "He's just growing up a little bit, becoming a guy that's in the February month of his freshman year," Gillispie said. "He's understanding how important it is to be in the right spot and playing from those spots and competing all the time." Much to the chagrin of some UK fans -- who like Stewart's athleticism and see him as a potential contributor -- that doesn't mean Gillispie is making any promises about Stewart's playing time.
