Katherine Heigl returns to TV Associated Press
BEVERLY HILLS — Katherine Heigl is returning to television, with her mother in tow. She stars on the new fall series “State of Affairs,” playing a CIA attache who informs the president on high-level incidents around the world. It’s the first TV series for Heigl since she left her Emmy-winning role on “Grey’s Anatomy” in 2010 after six seasons. Heigl’s mother, Nancy, is serving as an executive producer on the NBC series debuting in November. She manages her 35-year-old daughter’s career and has had similar credits on “One for the Money,” ‘’Life as We Know It” and “The Ugly Truth,” all starring Heigl. The notion that Heigl and her mother are difficult on set has followed the actress since “Grey’s Anatomy.”
“I certainly don’t see myself as being difficult. I would never intend to be difficult,” she said. “I don’t think my mother sees herself as being difficult. I think it’s important to everybody to conduct themselves professionally and respectfully and kindly. If I’ve ever disappointed somebody, it was never intentional.” When her mother was asked about her role on the show, Heigl interjected, “She bakes us cookies.” Nancy Heigl said she and her daughter pitched the series. “I am her mother for sure, so of course I care about her interests,” she said. “But I’m just learning about executive producing. I’m a newcomer to it.” NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke described Nancy Heigl as “someone with a strong opinion.” “There have been no problems,”
LOS ANGELES - Hit fantasy series “Game of Thrones” topped nominations for the Primetime Emmy awards, as online streaming service Netflix again challenged traditional networks for television’s version of the Oscars. Premium cable channel HBO’s grisly royal feud saga scored 19 nods including for best drama series, followed by “Fargo” -- based on the quirky 1996 Coen brothers’ movie -- with nominations in 18 categories.
Other notable nominees included Netflix’s breakthrough women’s prison show “Orange is the New Black,” earning nominations for five members of its cast, and the new crime drama “True Detective”.

Salke said. “She’s not been disruptive in any way.” After the session with critics at the summer TV tour, Heigl described the talk about her reputation as “awkward.” “I don’t think I really see myself as really being difficult,” she said. “How can I prove that to you until you’ve met me and until you’ve worked with me?” She said, laughing, “I think I’m a joy to work with.” After leaving “Grey’s Anatomy,” Heigl limited her movie roles to be with her family, including husband and singer Josh Kelley and their two adopted daughters. “I needed that time,” she said. “I needed to be a mom and wife and friend and revel with that, and remember what it is I feel so passionate about in this industry.

Other female-led shows like “Veep,” “The Good Wife,” “Scandal” and “American Horror Story: Coven” also made strong showings. “How incredibly humbling to be nominated not only a third time but among a group of exceptionally talented and critically acclaimed actresses,” Mayim Bialik of “The Big Bang Theory” told the Hollywood Reporter. Overall, HBO won the most nominations with 99, while online streaming giant Netflix doubled its number of nods from last year with 31. Overall “American Horror Story: Coven” was third with 17 nods, followed by 16 for “Breaking Bad,” the cult series about teacher-turned-drugs kingpin Walter White which ended last year, and the same number for AIDS drama movie “The Normal Heart.” A slew of British actors are in the running, including Martin Freeman, Benedict Cumberbatch, Idris Elba, repeat nominees Michelle Dockery and Maggie Smith for “Downton Abbey” and “12 Years a Slave” star Chiwetel Ejiofor. But there were also some notable snubs, including CBS’s widely-acclaimed “The Good Wife” in the best drama race, where “Game of Thrones” is up against “Breaking Bad,” “Mad Men,” “House of Cards,” “True Detective” and “Downton Abbey.” Also snubbed were “Homeland” star Damian Lewis and Elisabeth Moss of “Mad Men”. In the best comedy race, newcomer “Orange is the New Black” was nominated alongside long-running series “The Big Bang Theory,” “Louie,” “Modern Family” and “Veep,” as well as “Silicon Valley.”

Bangli government still has two years to complete all the complex problems in the area of the Kintamani caldera.
2016, fate of Batur Geopark determined Bali Post
BANGLI - Bangli government still has two years to complete all the complex problems in the area of the Kintamani caldera. In 2016, a team of the UNESCO will come to evaluate the predicate of Batur Geopark. If in the view of the UNESCO, Batur Geopark does not develop into a destination being capable of maintaining the environmental preservation, it is not impossible for the Batur Geopark to be disqualified from membership of the Global Geopark Network (GGN). The Head of Bangli Culture and Tourism Agency, Wayan Adnyana, when asked for his confirmation on Saturday (Jul 12) justified that Batur Geopark would be re-evaluated by UNESCO in 2016. “In other words, it will be re-validate whether
it is qualified or not. If it remains qualified, it will of course continue. Otherwise, it will be issued a yellow card,” he explained. He mentioned the points of evaluation would be in accordance with the three main objectives of
the geopark development, including conservation, education and local economic growth through the utilization of tourism. In order to be able to maintain the Batur Geopark status, the management should be able to show progress towards a development. This official originating in Batur, Kintamani also claimed optimistic to maintain the predicate. He claimed that almost all of the major targets of the geopark development had already well developed. For example, in terms of education or training, the Batur Geopark had been included in the educational curriculum. So far, the advancement of education had also
been shored up by the supporting infrastructure, namely the existence of geopark museum. Meanwhile, in terms of conservation, he also claimed there had been a better improvement such as the arrangement of geosite. Similarly, in terms of local economic growth through the tourism utilization, it had showed a significant increase. “Since the enactment of the Batur Geopark, the tourist arrival has grown up to 12 percent from 2012 to 2013,” he added. To that end, he was very optimistic if the predicate of Batur Geopark could be maintained. All this time, since the establishment on September 20, 2012,

the existence of Batur Geopark seemed to be a pride in itself for the Bangli government. Ironically, in the midst of the recognition as geopark by the UNESCO, so far the Batur Geopark area remained to have a very complex problem. The most highly visible activity was the remaining rampant exploitation of quarry in the middle of the region. However, many people considered the three main objectives, namely conservation, education and local economic growth through tourism utilization were actually still limited to be at the level of concept and had not been able to give contribution significantly.
