Major Gift to Promote New Discoveries at Ashfall Fossil Beds
A major gift will enable Ashfall Fossil Beds State Historical Park near Royal to greatly expand its Rhino Barn. The larger enclosed facility will enable paleontologists to discover more fossils and enhance the experience for visitors. The Theodore F. and Claire M. Hubbard Family Foundation of Omaha announced a $1.2 million gift commitment to the University of Nebraska Foundation for construction of the facility next year.
The park contains skeletons of extinct rhinos, camels and horses lying in the volcanic ash that killed them 12 million years ago and is a National Natural Landmark as designated by the U.S. Department of the Interior. The indoor facility will be expanded by 17,200 square feet to allow more excavation of fossils and to protect the fossils from Nebraska's weather. more...

Before The Devil Knows You're Dead, Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten Play at the Ross
UNL's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center presents Before The Devil Knows You're Dead and Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten. Both films will show through December 23.
Before The Devil Knows You're Dead, is a suspenseful thriller directed by master filmmaker Sidney Lumet about a family facing the worst enemy of all - itself. Oscar-winner Philip Seymour Hoffman plays Andy, an overextended broker who lures his younger brother, Hank (Ethan Hawke) into a larcenous scheme: the pair will rob a suburban mom-and-pop jewelry store that appears to be the quintessential easy target. The problem is, the store owners are Andy and Hank's actual mom and pop and, when the seemingly perfect crime goes awry, the damage lands right at their doorstep.
As the front man of the Clash from 1977 onwards, Joe Strummer changed people's lives forever. Four years after his death, his influence reaches out around the world, more strongly now than ever before. In The Future Is Unwritten, from British film director Julien Temple, Joe Strummer is revealed not just as a legend or musician, but as a true communicator of our times. Drawing on both a shared punk history and the close personal friendship which developed over the last years of Joe's life, Julien Temple's film is a celebration of Joe Strummer - before, during and after the Clash.
