Her fellow country stars, including Lady Antebellum and Reba McEntire, surprised the Georgiaborn singer with performances of her songs, including “Walkaway Joe,” and “She’s In Love With the Boy,” during the 53rd annual ASCAP Country Music Awards on Monday in Nashville, Tennessee.
“Since her debut in the early ‘90s, Trisha Yearwood has given young women a voice through song, with powerful lyrics about love, loss and staying true to your own self,” Timberlake said. Yearwood was given the Voice of Music Award, while Ashley Gorley was named the songwriter of the
year and Sam Hunt was named songwriter-artist of the year by the music licensing agency. Hunt also received the award for song of the year for “Leave the Night On,” written by Hunt and Josh Osborne. The Grammy-winning artist has sold more than 12 million albums and is also a successful cooking show host and cook book author, Timberlake noted, adding, “Girlfriend is busy.” Yearwood and her husband, Garth Brooks, joined Carter earlier in the week in Memphis, Tennessee, to help build a home as a part of the charity Habitat for Humanity. Carter, who is undergoing treatment for cancer, received a standing ovation from the crowd of songwriters, singers and music industry executives. He said he was an admirer of Yearwood’s work for a long time, but in the past decade has been working with her and Brooks to support the charity, which has helped 5 million people with home construction and repairs. Yearwood proudly showed off an example of her hard work while on the red carpet prior to the show. “I have a blister,” Yearwood said. “I don’t want anybody to go, ‘She’s a singer, she’s not going to work.’ I think I work harder than I should because I don’t want anybody to think I am slacking.” Yearwood said that she’s not known as a songwriter, so she was especially proud to get recognized by songwriters in Music City. “The highest compliment I can receive is when I can record a song and the writer is happy with my rendition,” Yearwood said.

Glenn Close: I’m working out for ‘Sunset Boulevard’ return LONDON — Glenn Close is getting ready to reprise her starring role as silent screen diva Norma Desmond in “Sunset Boulevard” — by taking to the treadmill. Close said Monday that her preparation involved working out. “You have to have strong muscles in you to project that kind of energy on the stage.” “So I’m getting on the treadmill, which is not something I really love to do,” she told reporters at the English National Opera’s Coliseum theater. Close won a Tony Award in 1995 for the Broadway production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical, based on Billy Wilder’s 1950 film. Two decades on, she will play Desmond — the faded femme fa-
tale who declares “I am big — it’s the pictures that got small” — for 43 performances at the Coliseum starting April 1. The production will be “semistaged,” with the opera’s orchestra onstage alongside the cast. The 68-year-old “Fatal Attraction” star has been nominated for six Academy Awards. She has won three Emmys and three Tonys. Next year’s run of “Sunset Boulevard” will be Close’s first time on the London stage since she starred in “A Streetcar Named Desire” at the National Theatre in 2002 Close said Norma Desmond “haunted me after I left her,” and playing her again would be like discovering a new character.

Will Smith quells ‘Concussion’ controversy at Film Awards BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Will Smith is not expecting any pushback from the National Football League over his upcoming football drama “Concussion.” “I don’t think it’s going to generate too much controversy (with the NFL). There will be a little difficulty in swallowing it, as it was for me. I’m a football dad, you know,” said the 47-year-old father of three. Smith was honored Sunday at the Hollywood Film Awards for his work in “Concussion.” He plays Dr. Bennet Omalu, the forensic neuropathologist who uncovered the dangerous effects of head trauma on the brain in football. “You don’t want it to be true,” Smith said on the red carpet. “I think that the science is really irrefutable and the story of Dr. Bennet Omalu is such a powerful story. I think that it will be difficult at first for some, but I don’t think that it’s going to be that big of an issue. It’s something that we have to accept.” “Concussion” made headlines after the New York Times reported that the film was altered to placate the National Football League, a charge director Peter Landesman and Sony have denied. The Grammy-winning rapper, who recently appeared on the remix of Bomba Estereo’s song, “Fiesta,” also discussed his return to music after a decade-long hiatus. “It’s such a new exploration for me. The most fun that I have. There’s nothing that compares to being on the stage with a hit record. So you know I’ve been performing a little bit with (DJ Jazzy) Jeff. We’ve been sneaking out and going to places and working out a little bit. So I think it’s going to be magnificent.” (ap)

Enforcement of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) results in subtly economic colonization. These conditions have even occurred long before the freemarket policies are applied. One of them is the flooding imported products and the entry of foreign workers to Indonesia, especially Bali. Deputy Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) Bali in charge of Organization and Membership I Gusti Ngurah Adnyana stated this opinion recently. According to Ngurah Adnyana, people conditioned to purchase or use the products of foreign companies operating in Indonesia is a piece of foreign role in economic sector. As a result, the flows of money that can be actually deposited in the country are largely taken home by the foreign companies. He added, even though the AEC has not been enforced in full, without being realized the presence of foreigners on this island has undermined the pillars of social economy. “Today we are already in global competition. Like or dislike it, we have entered the global competition,” he said.
Travellers at Ngurah Rai International Airport wait for updates after Virgin Australia and Jetstar cancelled some flights in and out of Bali on November 3, 2015. The two airlines announced on Tuesday that volcanic ash from an eruption at Indonesia’s Mount Rinjani had made it unsafe to fly.

Australian airlines cancel flight due to eruption
KUTA - Australian airlines - Jetstar and Virgin airlines, have cancelled flights to and from Denpasar, Bali Island, due to the volcanic ash cloud arising from the erupting Mount Barujari, the cone of Mount Rinjani in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. Due to the volcanic ash cloud arising from Mount Rinjani in Lombok, Indonesia, the conditions in the vicinity of Denpasar Airport, Bali, are unsafe for flying, the Jetstar management noted in a statement published on its official website on Tuesday.
“As a result, Jetstar has cancelled some flights on Tuesday (November 4) (AEST) to and from Bali following assessment of the latest information from the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre,” it noted. “We plan to provide a further update this afternoon at the earli-
est regarding the rest of Tuesday’s flights that are not on the cancelled list,” it stated further. The airline affirmed that it would resume flights once the conditions improved and will update customers if poor flying conditions lead to further cancellations. Virgin and Jetstar said they would make a decision on Wednesday’s flights after being updated by the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre.
“We continue to monitor the situation closely,” Virgin said. On Tuesday, Virgin cancelled all 10 flights to and from the popular holiday destination while Jetstar cancelled 14. The cancellations follow similar disruptions in July when volcanic ash cloud from an erupting Mount Raung in East Java shut down flights in and out of Denpasar for several days. Among the flights affected by the
volcano included Jetstar Flight No. JQ-44 destined for Melbourne and Virgin Australia Flight No. VA-060 to Perth.
