A bill that would have penalized schools for not giving equal access to all teacher groups failed by a wide margin during last legislative session.
But lawmakers resurrected the issue Thursday, saying they want to make sure all groups — not just the Utah Education Association — have equal opportunities to reach teachers. The Administrative Rules Committee held the discussion despite claims from some educators that it's a nonissue.

"We have been informed that some school districts still are not ensuring equal access," said Sen. Howard Stephenson, R-Draper, who chairs the committee.
Ultimately, State Deputy Superintendent Martell Menlove told lawmakers he would speak with the state school board to see if the access issue can be addressed through means other than legislation, such as rules or assurances signed by district leaders.
The original bill, SB82, would have fined schools $1,000 for failure to follow a law passed in 2007 that mandates all teacher groups be given equal access to schools and teachers.
Bill sponsor Sen. Mark Madsen, R-Eagle Mountain, argued then that the bill was needed to make sure organizations competing with the Utah Education Association (UEA) weren't shut out of schools. At the time, members of the Association of American Educators Utah, a non-union employee association, told lawmakers they were being treated unfairly, a claim district representatives refuted.
In March, the House rejected the bill 18-51, after some lawmakers said they felt it was unnecessary and overly harsh.
But Stephenson and Madsen, who also sits on the committee, said Thursday that some way to ensure the law is enforced is still needed.
Stephenson said he believes not as many new teachers are joining the UEA as in the past because "there is a rise of other groups that profess to be more professional groups than labor groups."
"It seems to me we ought to be ensuring our teaching professionals have the opportunity to affiliate with whatever group they choose," Stephenson said. "I hope we don't have to come back this time next year and say, 'We really mean it.'"
Rep. Merlynn Newbold, R-South Jordan, said she believes "the public is very concerned that when we expend tax dollars that we don't use the government to show favoritism toward one entity over another."
But Newbold also said she thinks a complaint process is needed so reports of violations are "not anecdotal and either we have an issue or we don't have an issue."
Rep. Carol Spackman Moss, D-Holladay, said Thursday she isn't sure why lawmakers are still talking about access.
"I just don't know how big of a problem this is," Moss said. "I mean I think it's fine to have safeguards, but as I listen to this, where is this happening?"
Kory Holdaway, UEA government relations director, said he'd also like to see "solid facts" in the future so lawmakers and the UEA can respond "in a meaningful way." Holdaway said he hopes the discussion with the deputy superintendent Thursday puts the issue to rest, eliminating the need for another bill next year.
He said the UEA is "not afraid of competition," but is concerned that legislation like SB82 could hurt associations if districts, in an attempt to be cautious, err on the side of giving less access to everyone.
"We hope the legislation or assurances required don't have that cooling effect that some would like to have happen with our association, particularly because of the effectiveness we've had in representing teachers," Holdaway said.
Madsen, however, said it was never the intent of his bill to hurt teachers' ability to access any group.
"The intent of this initiative has been to equalize opportunity, not to equalize misery," Madsen said. "We don't want the end result to be that it hurts everyone."Next Page >

Yet Blagojevich at times also came across as Jimmy Stewart in "Harvey," an eccentric who seems to see things others don't and says things others consider odd.The governor's string of network and cable TV appearances from dawn to late-night represented a calculated political gamble by a politician trying very, very hard to give the impression he was distancing himself from politics and using the media to say he has been unfairly treated by the media.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
Whether Blagojevich did himself any favors is open to debate. Potential jurors in the audience who someday will be played tapes in court may come away thinking this is a man who says, well, a lot of things. Maybe there's a book deal or something else down the road.
What's certain is David Letterman, "The Daily Show," Jay Leno and "Saturday Night Live" won't be hurting for material this week.
And that was despite Blagojevich not taking the bait when "The View" co-host Joy Behar asked him on ABC to impersonate former President Richard Nixon by saying, "I am not a crook," then mussed his famous helmet of hair.
Among the day's highlights:
*The governor said he considered appointing talk show queen Oprah Winfrey to the U.S. Senate seat vacated by President Barack Obama.
*He said his youngest daughter has asked if Daddy will still be governor when she turns 6 in April.
*He insisted support from "15 angels and 20 saints led by Mother Teresa" wouldn't be enough to save his job in Springfield, because "the fix is in."
But Blagojevich also refused to take up Barbara Walters' entreaties on "The View" to deny he said Obama's vacated Senate seat was too valuable to be given away, as federal prosecutors said they had on tape last month after the governor was arrested.
The governor, who is being advised by a public relations firm that has worked with Drew Peterson, a former Bolingbrook policeman known for the women no longer in his life, struck familiar chords about the "rush to judgment" that has "denied me the presumption of innocence."
The questions differed slightly with each stop. The talking points did not.
The Illinois legislature's impeachment process, Blagojevich said, is a sham because the rules are stacked against him. Never mind that he and his lawyers skipped chances to challenge the Senate impeachment rules and to file motions requesting documents, subpoenas and witness testimony that could have supported his case.
"Those senators are politicians who make the rules and won't allow us to get them to change the rules, so I'm here talking to Americans to let them know what's happening in the Land of Lincoln," Blagojevich told ABC's Diane Sawyer on "Good Morning America." "If they can do this to a sitting governor, deny me the chance to bring witnesses in to prove my innocence ... that is a scary thing. If they can do that to a governor, they can do that to you."
If you were an elected state official facing impeachment, that is.
"Let's try to work through all that red herring he just served us all for breakfast," Republican state Sen. Matt Murphy said when offered a chance for rebuttal on ABC. "The suggestion that this is somehow unfair to the governor is the most self-serving, ludicrous statement I have ever heard in my life."
All day, the distinction between the impeachment, which is a political process, and the legal proceedings still to come was fuzzy, at best. Murphy pointed out that the impeachment rules were modeled on the ones used by the U.S. Senate for President Bill Clinton, who was acquitted. They're designed to not affect the pending legal fight ahead for Blagojevich's freedom.
Sawyer, who was treated to a brief reprise of Blagojevich's earlier Rudyard Kipling recitation, got the governor to confirm that he at one point considered offering Chicago-based Winfrey the open U.S. Senate seat that federal prosecutors allege he was looking to sell.

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - A plea deal is apparently in the works for a Milwaukee man accused of killing a newly-engaged woman in a hit and run traffic crash.
48-year-old Edwood Hastings is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday afternoon.
Online court records say there's a projected guilty plea coming down. Hastings is currently charged with a felony count of fatal hit and run.
32-year-old Andrea Barringer was struck and killed August 11th while she and two friends had just left a restaurant, and were crossing a busy Farwell Avenue on Milwaukee's east side.
Hastings said the women were darting in front of cars, and he hit the brakes to avoid hitting Barringer but it was too late.
Investigators said the victim was in a legal crosswalk. Hastings told officers he didn't stop because he wanted to talk to his family before he turned himself in to the police.

Rated 4 out of 5�by Grandpa Dave Grand Daughter Happy I purchased these Skates for my Granddaughter's 8th Birthday and she was so excited to see them when she opened the box. They fit her well and i know that she will get more years of joy as they will expand to fit her feet as she grows. I would recommend them to anyone. October 16, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by None Daughter Loves Them My daughter loves them. They are adjustable so it isn't like you have to buy a set each year. With their ability to adjust, I suppose we will have them for about 3-4 years before we have to buy bigger ones. July 11, 2012

Rated 1 out of 5�by Skate Mom You get what you pay for... If you want your child to learn to put on blades, stand in them, fall in them, and shuffle around in them - this is a great deal. If you want your child to actually learn to SKATE, don't waste your money. The wheels just don't roll well, they will never do more than shuffle around. We learned the hard way. Started with these, then had to go back and buy a "real" pair of skates for our son to skate in. December 5, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5�by India They also come in BOYS! I got the BOYS version of these skates for my 8yr old son and he loves them. The pads that come with them are a great addition because buying pads seperately can run up to $30. Definitely would recommend these skates! December 1, 2011

Nano fractals
Fractals are abundant in Nature and even molecules can have a fractal structure. Now, scientists from the University of Akron in Ohio and Clemson University have created the largest man-made fractal molecule at the nanoscale. And they even captured an image of it. The molecule is made up of six rings, each composed of six smaller rings, each of which is in turn each made up of six smaller rings, and so on, giving rise to the self-similarity and incredibly intricate structure that makes a fractal.
These new man-made molecules are extremely precise and could be used to engineer new kinds of photoelectric cells, molecular batteries and energy storage. The molecules are about twelve nanometres wide, a nanometre being a billionth of a metre. This is pretty small to you and me but, apparently, it's big on the nanoscale. One of the scientists involved even called it huge. To see an image of the molecule — enlarged a million times — and to find out more, read the University of Ohio's news release. The scientists' work was published in the journal Science.

Maths maps musical emotion
Music makes emotion and maths underpins music. But can the emotional part of music be captured by maths? To find the answer to this question Elaine Chew, assistant professor of industrial and systems engineering at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, set up a graduate course called "Computational Modelling of Expressive Performance" to look for answers. The aim of the course is to teach students how to use tools from engineering and computation to understand our emotional responses to music.
Chew pursues a successful career as a pianist along side her research, and so is perfectly qualified. But as she admits, teaching the course is a challenge, as students need expertise from a huge range of different disciplines. They need to use tools from music theory, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, experimental psychology, signal processing and neuroscience, to name but a few. Not many students have the necessary pre-requisites, but some of those that do have now put an exhibition of their projects online.
One pair of students have created "emotiongrams" that map musical characteristics to colour patterns to capture their emotional impact. Another project involves analysing scores of silent movies that have been specifically created to evoke certain emotions, and yet another one involves a system that allows you to add extra rules to a musical score and observe whether this changes the impact on your feelings.
You can read about all the projects on the course website. Plus has a number of articles on the mathematics of music, which you can find in our archive under keyword or topic "maths and music".

The million Dollar questions
If you'd like to have a go at solving one of the most tricky and important open questions in maths and get rich in the process, then the QEDen web site is worth a look. The site has been set up with the ambitious goal to solve the Millennium Prize Problems, seven of the most difficult unsolved problems in maths. The Clay Mathematics Institute has promised a million Dollars to anyone who solves one of the problems, but so far solutions remain elusive.
QEDen is designed to be "an online playground for the mathematically and scientifically minded people on the internet to converge and wrap their minds around the toughest problems yet to face the planet". As yet, its "progress thermometer" is firmly stuck at zero. But, who knows, maybe you could deliver a vital clue. And, don't worry, if you solve the problem, all the money is yours alone.
You can find out more about these problems in the Plus articles How maths can make you rich and famous and How maths can make you rich and famous: part II.

29 steps to universal (26/04/2006)
Think of a number, any number, and see if you can write it as the sum of square numbers: 13 = 22 + 32, 271 = 12 + 12 + 102 + 132, 4897582 = 62 + 952 + 22112...
In 1770, Lagrange proved that every positive integer, no matter how large, can be written as a sum of at most four squares, x2 + y2 + z2 + t2. In the centuries since, mathematicians searched for other universal quadratic forms which could represent all the positive integers. Another 53 expressions, including 1x2 + 2y2 + 3z2 + 5t2, were found by Ramanujan in 1916. So many such universal forms exist, but how can you predict if a particular quadratic form is universal?
Now the brilliant young mathematician Manjul Bhargava and his colleague Jonathan Hanke have found a surprisingly simple result that completely solves the problem of finding and understanding universal quadratic forms. They found a shortcut to deciding if a quadratic form is universal — to check if the form represents every single positive integer, you only have to check it represents a mere 29 particular integers, the largest of which is 290. Bharghava and Hanke then went on to find every universal quadratic form (with four variables), all 6,436 of them. You can read about this surprising result in Ivars Peterson's excellent article in Science News.
Apart from Bhargava's brilliance as a mathematician (he was one of the youngest people to be made a full professor at just 28), he is also an accomplished musician. Both number theory and tabla playing may be viewed as the study of patterns, Bhargava told Peterson. "The goal of every number theorist and every tabla player," he explains in the article, "is to combine these patterns, carefully and creatively, so that they flow as a sequence of ideas, tell a story, and form a complete and beautiful piece."

Frequently flipping fields (29/3/2006)
In the past news story, Core business, we reported on research that the Earth's magnetic field may be in the early stages of a polarity reversal. These geomagnetic flips have occurred hundreds of times in the last 160 million years, and as the last one was 780,000 years ago many researchers think we are overdue for the next reversal. Until recently it was thought that the frequency of these polarity reversals was random, following a Poisson distribution. However Italian physicists have found that the process is better described by a Levy distribution — a distribution used for processes that exhibit "memory" of past events. So the pole reversals are not independent events, and this information should inform models of the magnetic dynamo process believed responsible. But as for when the next flip is due, that still remains a mystery.
You can read about the strange magnetic fields of Uranus and Neptune in Untangling a magnetic mystery, and about the important role of the magnetic field in the Sun in The dynamic sun. You can also find out more about the Poisson distribution in On the ball.

Happy Pi Day to you! (14/3/2006)
Write the date March 14th in the date format used in the US and you get 3.14 — which makes it Pi Day! Plus is celebrating by reflecting on the ubiquitous usefulness of this number to mathematics, pondering its many unsolved mysteries, and of course eating an appropriately shaped pi pie (pie are squared you know). How will you be celebrating? If reciting digits of pi is to be your pi party trick, then make sure you read Remembrance of numbers past from issue 31.
"If a billion decimals of pi were printed in ordinary type, they would stretch from New York City to the middle of Kansas. Only fortyseven decimal places of pi would be sufficiently precise to inscribe a circle around the visible universe that didn't deviate from perfect circularity by more than the distance across a
single proton."

Thaksin's 'Drug Murders' investigated
The Ministry of Justice has been ordered by the Prime Minister to investigate the numerous cases of extra judicial killings during Thaksin Shinawatra's War on Drugs, according to the Justice Minister Peerapan Sareerathawipak.
A working committee will be appointed to investigate the fact that 1,400 out of the 2,500 'drug suspects' that were killed ibetween February and April 2003 had no links with either drug usage or the selling of drugs.
The former committee, led by former Attorney General Kanit Na Nakorn, was appointed by General Surayuth Chulanonda's government, but the committee was disbanded, and the matter not pursued during the administrations of Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej and Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat… both prime ministers now known as being Thaksin fsympathisers.
The Justice Ministry has appointed former Attorney-General Kampee Kaewcharoen to lead the investigative team.
Mr Peerapan has confirmed Mr Kampee's neutrality and non-affiliation with any political party, and confirmed that the committee members will be selected by the Justice Ministry and proposed to the Cabinet for approval.
In addition, Mr Peerapan said the resurrection of the cases only aimed at continuing the investigative process and seek explanations… and not, at this stage, to prosecute anyone.
Further prosecutions will only be conducted after the investigation is completed.

In addition to the 2500 murders committed during the 'War on Drugs', investigations should be made into the Tak Bai and Krue Seh massacres when a further 100+ people were killed.
Thaksin can also be held responsible for the deaths in May and April 2010, when his Red Shirt sympathisers ran amok through the city. Had they been able to hold a civilised, peaceful protest, there would have been no need to use troops to disperse them.
Amnesty International called Thaksin 'a human rights abuser of the worst kind'. He still likes to paint himself as the victim.

There are other benefits to this garcinia extract also. Because it's all-natural, there are apparently no side-effects. Plus it does not contain any caffeine. That's certainly good news because a lot of caffeine can give me head pain.
I also read up a bit about it online and found that Dr Oz had carried out an experiment with it using a live audience. He found that after he'd given half his audience the garcinia cambogia, they did in fact lose some weight. The experiment was only carried out over a 2 week period, so the amount of weight loss was minimal. I suspect if the experiment were over a longer period, the weight loss on average would have been rather higher than it actually was.
But for sure, the pure garcinia cambodia supplement does appear to work, so I'm looking forward to beginning my own journey with it and I'll let you know how that goes for me.
So should you buy garcinia cambogia ?
I'd never have imagined that garcinia could actually help you to lose weight. I came across the miracle garcinia cambogia pills when a friend told me about it. She'd tried it herself and had witnessed good results, so I thought I would try it for myself and see how far I got with it.
Does Garcinia Cambogia Extract Really Work as a Dieting Supplement?
Probably you've heard of the dietary supplement called garcinia cambogia and you may well wish to learn a little more about it before you decide to try it out for yourself.
does garcinia cambogia really work
I'm in exactly the same boat, and so I decided to read up about it and try it out for myself, once I'd established that it was healthy and also that it apparently does work as far as dieting is concerned.
I did not visit the gym throughout my own trial period. And I did not change my diet in any drastic way. I wanted to see if the dieting supplement would help me to lose weight of its own accord.
After a single month, I'd dropped 3 pounds. Sure, not too great, but still some progress.
After the next month, I'd managed to lose 10 pounds, which was a bit surprising to me, and I was extremely happy about it too.
At the end of month 3 I'd dropped a total of 19 pounds by taking the pure garcinia cambogia reviews.
All in all, a very good end result to my own 3 month trial with green coffee bean as a dieting supplement, I'm sure you will agree.
Why Buy Garcinia Cambogia Extract?
That's the question. Is it worth it? Is it worth investing the money and the time in garcinia cambogia weight loss?
No doubt, if you are like me, you've tried lots of dieting supplements over the years. And also, if you are like me, you'll have found that most of them don't work the way they are supposed to.
You invest your hard earned for months on end, but you give up on it because you are not seeing the results you thought you would see.
It's enough to put even the most die-hard dieters off supplements entirely!
However, I decided to try Garcinia. I mean, why not? It's not something I can give up on, really. I want to lower my weight, and other than going to the gym, which is a rather "ugly" thought, I'd much prefer to keep on trying different supplements.
So, first, I wondered where to buy garcinia cambogia at a decent price. Managed to get some online which was good.
Then I got going with it, and lo-and-behold, within the first month, I'd already shed 8 pounds. Looks like I'm on a winner with this dieting supplement after all!
The Good News About Garcinia Cambogia
This post answers is garcinia cambogia extract reviews safe
I've been taking Garcinia Cambogia now for 2 months, and it's going well, I'm happy to announce.
You may be wondering, what is garcinia cambogia?
It's a relatively new dietary supplement on the market and the basic and foundational ingredient is the fruit, which is or are the compounds that make up the aroma of the garcinia.
Prior to using it, I read a garcinia cambogia extract side effects review, just to get a better idea for myself what this supplement could actually do for me. Weight loss has never been an easy thing for me, so I didn't want to invest in yet another miracle cure without really believing in it fully and wholeheartedly.
Well, I've not been disappointed at all, which is why I'm at the end of month 2 after starting with the supplement.
At the end of month 1, I'd managed to lose 3 pounds, which is a good start, considering how problematic I usually find it to lose weight.
At the end of month two, and I've lost a total of 7.5 pounds. I'd never have believed it at the start, to be honest. But it's true, this supplement really does work.
Pure Garcinia Cambogia Extract – The Ultimate Dieting Supplement
You've perhaps read a few pure garcinia cambogia extract reviews and are considering trying this dietary supplement for yourself, but you're still not entirely sure about it. After all, you've been trying a whole variety of dieting products over the years now, and nothing else has worked particularly well, so what's to say that this garcinia cambogia plus will be any different to all the others you've tried previously?
That's no doubt a question that many others have asked also. But yet, if you have read the reviews about this product, then you will have witnessed many positive mentions in its' favor.
You'll read things like:
"I tried it for 3 months and dropped 15 pounds within that time. In the first month, I dropped 6 pounds."
"What I find is different with natural garcinia cambogia is that you don't merely drop a few pounds over the first month or two. If you continue to take the supplement as the manufacturers suggest you do, then you continue losing weight until you reach your goals."
"Loving it! I lost 8 pounds in only my first 30 days. And now I've got to the point where I'm very happy with my weight. I feel so much more confident than I've done for years."
Dietary Pure Garcinia Cambogia Supplement Review
Perhaps you've already heard a bit about pure garcinia cambogia. Maybe you've read some reviews too. Well, let me add something extra to the review style of post about this dieting supplement.
I started using Garcinia cambogia around about 3 months ago now. Within a couple of weeks, I was already seeing some decent progress in terms of weight loss. I lost around about a couple of pounds in that time. Not insanely great, but respectable all the same, particularly given that my lifestyle is sedentary on the whole, other than having a half hour walk during working lunch times.
Now, normally, after work when I got home, I'd cook up some dinner. But I'd also find that a few hour after finishing dinner, I'd want to snack on something. Often that "something" was not the best sort of late night snack either. For example, a bit of pizza, or some chocolate. Not good! (as mentioned in the many garcinia cambogia extract reviews)
Nevertheless, once I started using Garcinia cambogia, I no longer felt the urge to late night snack any longer. And that's the main reason why I've now managed to lose 18 pounds over the 3 months I've been using the supplement.

Harvey comes to London for his daughter's wedding, planning only to attend the wedding ceremony. However, he ends up being let go from his job before going back to America and decides to stay for the reception, asking Kate to accompany him. Thus begins a growing connection between these two guarded strangers." CONSENSUS: ""Last Chance Harvey" is an above-average story that graduates to potent romantic drama based on the chemistry and charm of its top-notch performers, who make an otherwise familiar story feel fresh." MOTIVATION FOR ME TO SEE: Dustin Hoffman has had a dry spell since 2005's "Finding Neverland," and voiceovers in animations (last year's "Kung Fu Panda" and "The Tale of Despereaux") just don't do it for me. But Colin Colvert of the Star Tribune thought the old Dustin was back, so I'm giving it a try. [New purchase by HCL]

We enjoyed the sea days by soaking in the sun, watching movies under the stars, napping on our balcony and partaking in spa activities. I had every intention of exercising everyday but alas found other things to do instead.
Many people complain about the high pressure spa by a seasoned cruise, I was will aware of what I wanted and felt no pressure to have to make any purchases. I took advantage of the savings of booking 3 spa treatments. I even had my hair done at the last minutes on the day we went through the canal and was pleased the the expertise of the stylist.
The canal was the highlight of the cruise. I heard lots of good reviews of the various excursions that day.
Our favorite port was the Cartagena, Columbia

As I watched Phil Spector, HBOs docudrama about the 2007 murder trial of a legendary 1960s record producer, I found myself thinking about an old joke told by enemies of another iconographic figure of that decade. How can you tell when Lyndon Johnson is lying? went the joke. Well, when hes tugging on his ear, hes telling the truth. When hes scratching his head, hes telling the truth. When he puts his chin in his hand, hes telling the truth. When he opens his mouth, hes lying.
Thats true of Phil Spector, too, and I dont mean just the mouths of the actors on the screen. This film is swathed in duplicity from head to toe: disingenuous in conception, guileful in presentation, perfidious in what it shows and deceptive in what it holds back. Its an insidious whitewash of a convicted killer and an infamous smear of his victim. Its a shame on all involved.
If you grew up in the 1960s, Spectors music was the soundtrack of your life. He made records with everybody from Tina Turner to the Beatles, amassing a fortune in the process. But his genius for writing and production was soon obliterated by his reputation for dangerously nutball behavior, much of it involving guns.
By 2003 he was a quarter-century past his last hit, living in a spooky mansion in a hard-bitten little town east of Los Angeles. After a long night of hard drinking, he persuaded a nightclub hostess named Lana Clarkson to come home with him for a drink. A couple of hours later, he emerged from the house to tell his chauffeur, I think I killed somebody. Police found Clarksons body inside, slumped in a chair, dead from a single .38-caliber gunshot to the mouth. Spector was twice tried for her murder. The first trial, in 2007, resulted in a hung jury; the second, two years later, ended with his conviction.
Its the first trial thats the subject of HBOs film. Well, technically, thats just my opinion. True, the show has a character named Phil Spector who murdered somebody named Lana Clarkson. But thats just a wild coincidence, according to the title card that opens the film: This is a work of fiction. Its not based on a true story It is neither an attempt to depict the actual persons, nor to comment upon the trial or its outcome.
That boast of magnificent disinterest wears a bit thin when you consider that playwright David Mamet, who wrote and co-produced Phil Spector, gave an interview two years ago in which he insisted that if Spector had just been a regular citizen, they never would have indicted him. Also suggestive of the presence of a point of view are the consultants Mamet hired for the film: director Vikram Jayanti, who made a documentary arguing that Spector was railroaded, and Spectors defense attorney, Linda Kenney Baden.
Baden, in fact, is the films protagonist, but thats just another coincidence. The role of Linda Kenney Baden is based upon, but is not a representation of, the actual Linda Kenney Baden, says Mamet in promotional material for the show.
By pretending that Baden is no more real than Paul Bunyan or Tinker Bell, Mamet not only licenses himself to make stuff up but builds a veneer of legal protection against Phil Spector the real one, who is notoriously contentious with his own lawyers (he went through at least four of them during his first murder trial). Spector might very reasonably object that Baden, by blabbing defense secrets to a filmmaker, is violating attorney-client privilege.
If Mamet wants to make a film arguing that Spector is innocent, the victim of populist envy, he certainly has that right. But its harder to imagine a more intellectually dishonest act than making a one-sided legal brief disguised as a movie, then rendering it immune to rebuttal by insisting its fiction and therefore need not be truthful.
And, make no mistake, Phil Spector absolutely is a legal brief, arguing that Spector was lynched by a mob of peasants jealous of his wealth and talent and confounded by his weirdness. Hes a freak, shrugs one disconsolate member of his defense team. Theyre gonna convict him of I-just-dont-like-you.
Again and again, the films characters insist, without contradiction, that Clarkson was a loony, failed actress who shot herself, either by design or ineptitude. There is no forensic evidence of Spectors guilt, they say, and plenty of his innocence particularly the fact that he was not drenched in blood, as he supposedly would have been if he were standing close enough to jam a gun in Clarksons mouth.
If Phil Spector were more fair, or better drama, it would admit theres considerable disagreement about the forensic side of the case, and significant evidence that Spector cleaned up the crime scene before calling the police. It would admit that Spector indisputably had a history of pulling guns on girlfriends, employees and recording artists with whom he was angry. (He once fired a bullet into the ceiling during a recording sessions with John Lennon.) And it would disclose the numerous lies Spector told cops in the hours after the shooting, starting with the claim refuted by numerous witnesses along his bar-hopping route that he hadnt had a thing to drink.
Oddly, the closest thing to fairness in Phil Spector is the blow-you-away performance by Al Pacino in the title role. Madly free-associating, bursting with megalomania and paranoia, erupting in non-sequitur rages that dissolve into sweet acts of contrition, Pacino is both seductive and terrifying. To paraphrase one of Spectors best-loved songs, to know him is to fear him.

Three explorers were hiking through a vast forest that would eventually become Canada.
"You know," said the first explorer, "we should name this vast forest we're hiking through."
"I know," said the second explorer. "We'll each pick a letter and then make a name out of that."
"Good idea," said the third explorer. "You go first."
"Okay," said the first explorer. "C, ay."
"My turn," said the second explorer. "N, ay."
Unfortunately, before the third explorer could choose a letter, a bear jumped out of the trees and killed and ate all three explorers. Eventually, some guy came along and named the country after his aunt.

- IncrediblePhillyLawStudentDined on 9/19/2014Meal and service were both outstanding. Planning my next trip soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our two visits have been wonderful!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/14/2014The ambiance is delightful in this pristine environment of high ceilings and nautical artwork. This is the perfect place for a romantic evening or a casual get together with friends. The location across from Rittenhouse Square provides a lovely view during dinner and a great leisurely stroll afterward. The food has been delicious and the staff very friendly and attentive. Each of our dining experiences were memorable ones.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A great experience.mightymandoDined on 9/14/2014The only thing better than the food was the service. A great dining experience.Special Features:
- Always a winnerCathyVIPDined on 9/13/2014We love coming here for both the consistantly great food and service. Never had a bad meal here. The staff is friendly and knows what we like. If you go, ask for Issac as your server - what a nice man.Special Features:
- Great view, disappointing serviceVegetarianFoodieVIPDined on 9/13/2014Ok when I go to an expensive steakhouse I expect impeccable service. Unfortunately, although the restaurant was not even full, we were very disappointed in our service. Our water was not filled until after the check came (and we had to ask - we had 3 empty glasses), and when the waiter took away the main courses he left a table full of crumbs for 10 minutes while waiting for dessert. We saw other tables being promptly "de-crumbed" but not ours. The food was good - not great though for the price. Next time I'd probably choose a different steakhouse for a special occasion.
- ExpensiveSteveDined on 9/12/2014Really expensive for the quality. The average bottle of wind was $70 per bottle.Special Features:
- Boys CulbOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/11/2014My friend and I dinned for restaurant week last week and were very pleased. You can't really go wrong with a steakhouse. Food was good and what I would expect from a upscale steakhouse (although I am really glad I didn't pay thought prices for it!). Views of Rittenhouse square were pretty and would be even prettier around the holidays. Service was great and friendly. The atmosphere is a bit boys-club. I think we were two of only maybe 8 women in the entire restaurant. The whole place was filled with tables and tables upon men. It has a cigar lounge type of feel to it. Great place to stretch out your restaurant week dollars!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding Food and Servicecbannon00Dined on 9/9/2014I was part of a party of four who visited Smith & Wollensky during Restaurant Week. Our reservation was for 6:00 so we were a bit early for the Restaurant Week crowd. We all ordered steak (since it's a steakhouse) and the food was well prepared and delicious. The service was outstanding.Special Features:
- went for a late dinner with the famjmazahrehVIPDined on 9/8/2014Place is nice, casual dining with $$$ cost we went during restaurant week, which luckily wasn't packed so the service and food were great. Everyone had the filet and all types of levels cooked all loved. Truffled mac and cheese very delicious. Bottle of wine for wine week to go with the meal, and dessert was perfect end to a great meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great restaurantLuvsnewrestaurantsDined on 9/8/2014We had a party of 7 and came during restaurant week. We sat upstairs next to the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Rittenhouse Square. The restaurant is beautiful, especially the view out their windows. The food and the service were terrific. Most of us dined on the restaurant week menu. One person ordered off the regular menu. No one was disappointed. I would recommend this restaurant and will be back.Special Features:
- SteakhouseLinedanzrDined on 9/7/2014If you like steak & the sides from a good steak house, you will like S&W. Fresh, perfectly cooked food, and very tasty. I would def recommend it and will return to try their other menu options.Special Features:
- FantasticBirthdayDined on 9/6/2014It was most pleasurable to be greeted and served with a personal touch. The hosts and waiter made the birthday dinner very memorable with special accommodations.Special Features:
- Costly but worth it!!DineoutQueenDined on 8/30/2014Birthday outing for my hubby. Food was really good. No complaints about anything. Our server was the nicest person ever!! After learning it was my dude's bday, she gave him a free slice of cake. Oh and the drinks were superb!! No slouching on the alcohol. A1!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Delicious mealBeaglemomDined on 8/17/2014The food was delicious and service excellent. Hah brown potatoes were good but a bit salty.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always terrificCathyVIPDined on 8/9/2014Love this restaurant. We are always greeted warmly. The food is always great as is the service- ask for Issac or Stephen , you will not be sorry.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What Happened???FindinganewplaceDined on 8/8/2014Went to dinner with my wife and daughter. White wine was not chilled properly, wife's steak was overcooked and service was lacking. All employees including the manager seemed to be fixated on "old guy" with three "women" (and I use the term loosely). Waited fifteen minutes while the waitress was talking to the "women" who were merely drinking at the bar. The manager was so impressed with himself that he "talked the old guy" into staying at this restaurant instead of Ruth Chris. This establishment was one of my favorites prior to this night. With Devon and Parc right around the corner, I do not understand the decline in food and service as well as the poor behavior of the staff.
- Exactly what it needs to beWISEGUY572Dined on 8/7/2014Dinner with a business client was exactly what it needed to be. We had a quiet outdoor table overlooking Rittenhouse Square. We found a nicely priced California Cab. Steaks were, as expected, great and cooked to perfection. Sides were unimaginative, traditional steak house sides, cooked to perfection. We found a local Victory beer; a nice touch to have local beers on a national chain's drinks list. We had a charming and knowledgeable waitress. And, of course, the same table was quite romantic with a special friend the day I moved into Center City. Predictable, mostly unchanged over the decades, and exactly what it needs to be.Special Features:
- Excellent Food & Nice ServicePhillymanVIPDined on 8/2/2014Just terrific! The seafood was fresh and wonderfully prepared. The steak was delicious and just perfect!. The service was efficient and unobtrusive. Everyone involved seemed to sincerely care that we enjoyed the meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great sunday afternoonfoodloverDined on 7/27/2014This was my first time and went to early dinner with my sister. We had a great meal. The scallops were cooked to perfection. The entire meal was delicious! The staff were attentive and very friendly. The restaurant is very quaint and cute I love it! Will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A real 1st class dining experiencePalmer3465Dined on 7/26/2014As always our experience at Smith & Wollensky was outstanding. The service has always been 1st class. Our server Jawad is a true asset to the restaurant. His memory of what we like is amazing. The surf and turf was perfect as was the halibut. The wine that Jawad recommended was superb and the appetizers(his pick as well) were delicious. We enjoy Smith and Wollensky and find it to be one of the best restaurants in Philly.Special Features:
- You should goout9999999standingDined on 7/18/2014Every thing was outstanding!!! Steaks are out of this world.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Always Perfect ExperiencePhillymanVIPDined on 7/4/2014Wife and daughter loved their food and my steak was just perfect!. The service was nice and we enjoy visiting this place. Simply the BEST!!Special Features:
- very disappointingAndiVIPDined on 6/27/2014Food was just ok but nothing special. Six of us and each ordered different things; everyone had this reaction. The steaks were the best; don't order non-beef. Touted pea soup was slightly better than Campbell's. Fish (both salmon and halibut) was fresh and prepared as ordered, but with absolutely no imagination, special flavor or accompaniment. They accommodated special request for grilled halibut rather than in stock. Wine list is ABYSMAL for a chain that should know about wine & the trends. Not a single sauvignon blanc from New Zealand; the (pricey) S&W signature CA sauvignon blanc was bitter, but not crisp; no citrus or mineral notes. S Ameriocan one not much better. Service unacceptably slow and inattentive with no crowd.
- Always a WinnerGelmacVIPDined on 6/10/2014People in our group had Maine lobster, bone-in ribeye, bone-in filet, veal chop rib eye and pan seared salmon. Everyone thought their dishes were outstanding. Our side dishes included buttermilk onion rings and creamed spinach. Up-front dishes included the Wollensky salad, the white bean soup of the day, chilled iceberg lettuce and colossal lump crab meat cocktail. Each and every one of those dishes were also terrific.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our special occasion "go-to" placeThreeForSixDined on 6/8/2014Smith and Wollensky never disappoints. The food is perfect. The service is perfect. The atmosphere is perfect. We truly feel spoiled and catered-to every time we dine there. It is our "go to" place for every special occasion that we celebrate.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 6/3/2014I ordered a medium rare steak expecting a juicy filet from a top steak house on Rittenhouse Sq. My steak was red and extremely dry in the center and flavorless. Also, would have expected mor choices as sides. Only green veggie was grilled asparagas. I was dining with a customer who ordered the ribeye and said his was fine. I did not send mine back or complain because I did not want to interrupt the dinner meeting. Will not return. Worst steak ever at a high end steakhouse but the company and dinner conversation was exceptional.
- Good...not greatGinaDined on 5/31/2014Go for the steak and nothing else - it was very good. It's ambience is dated - as if they are established and no need to impress. Sides and salads - and even the bread - were rich and laden with oils. This is definitely a one and done kind of restaurant. Our waiter Rick was great and down to earth as well as informative. The overall price wasn't too bad considering the name and location, however, $30 for valet parking was a bit steep for 90 minutes.Special Features:
- The following 967 reviews are from the Smith & Wollensky Steakhouse - Philadelphia reviews archive.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/22/2014We started with a something floating in my cocktail then the asparagus was overcooked and my wife's steak was undercooked. I have had better meals for a lot less money elsewere.Special Features:
- DependableJavierDined on 5/16/2014Good steak, if a bit dry. Rest of the food very good. Too bad a wine in the wine lisy was not available ( needs updating). Very attentive service and nice table with a view of the park.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- wonderful experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 5/11/2014We have been going to Smith and Wollensky for a number of years and have always found the food, service and ambiance to be exceptional. We would recommend it for any occasion. This was our fist brunch at the restaurant after numerous enjoyable dinners. We were not disappointed.Special Features:
- lovesteakDined on 4/24/2014We enjoyed our time at Smith & Wollensky in Philly. Service was great, everyone was very nice. Food was plentiful and very good. Thanks for an enjoyable evening.Special Features:
- Easter Sunday place was emptyDissapointingDishVIPDined on 4/20/2014Bar had maybe a dozen people. 1 obnoxious 12 yr old kid could be heard throughout the restaurant Food not as good as usual..not cooked the way I ordered. Too tired & hungry to send it back Bread the best..warm & tasty Knew the waiter, he is a neighborhood gem. Heard business is off, economy has taken a toll on fine restaurants. Liked Capital Grill better.Special Features:
- Great view & amazing steak!TopquarkDined on 4/19/2014I can easily tell that it was one of the best steaks I have ever had in my life (& I have been to a lot of top steak-houses in North America). We went for my boyfriend's Birthday. From the beginning everyone knew already & wishes him happy birthday! They gave him a b-day card too not to mention a complementary birthday cake slice at the end :-) it was absolutely delicious. We both had the 14 ounce filet mignon. He had it medium & I had it done medium rare. It was exquisite. It melted in our mouths & the price was extremely reasonable compared to other steakhouses in the area. We had the duck-fat roasted vegetables & the wild mushroom sides for two. Amazing! Service was highly professional & impeccable. Stunning views of Rittenhouse square!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Rittenhouse DiningburgersVIPDined on 4/19/2014The view from the second floor of Rittenhouse Park is magnificient; probably one of the most desirable views in Philadelphia. The service and food are always memorable. Looking forward to another dinig experience in the future.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a good timeTHeDaddymanDined on 4/18/2014Always a good time at S&W. We have starting coming every few months for a great meal and excellent service. Ian was a quality server when we were there Friday and our usual table was held for us to enjoy the view while dining on a great meal.Special Features:
- Great PlaceartfrkVIPDined on 4/12/2014We had been to this restaurant in Boston and decided to try the one in Philly. It is great. Great good, service and atmosphere. Melissa was our server and she was wonderful. Their homemade breads are amazing!Special Features:
