A NEW INTRODUCTION TO AMERICAN CONSTITUTIONALISM (the book to your right!)
9 comments:
It has been said that in constitutional law it takes a theory to beat a theory. Larry Solum has so said periodically at his wonderful Legal Theory Blog. I don't know the origins of this but perhaps it comes from the sciences, the natural not the social. Alas, law is not a science although in the 19th century efforts were undertaken to treat law as a science. A theory in constitutional law cannot be tested in the manner of the scientific method. Just look at the proliferation since the 1980s of theories in search of the Holy Grail of constitutional interpretation/construction. And in recent weeks the legal blogs are burgeoning with the battles between originalism and non-originalism. In particular, Eric Posner's new blog and its posts on a course being offered by him and Will Baude on originalism. Will Baude at VC posts his comments and the Originalism Blog throws in its two cents. A recent post of Posner's focused on history. The role of history is addressed in great detail in Jack Balkin's article in Fordham LR last summer. I'm still laboring through Jack's article not because it is a tough read but because of vision problems. Law office history is included in discussions. How well trained is the constitutional scholar in history as compared to a professional historian? Does a "New Introduction ..." require a strong historical background? Keep in mind that lawyers are adversarial in practicing their profession, whereas (in my understanding) professional historians are not. Constitutional scholars seem to "discover" new history all the time, including members of SCOTUS. With each new discovery a new theory is presented.ReplyDelete
As to Prof. Graber's:
" ... this is the first book that explains why all you need to know about constitutionalism you could have learned by going steady in the 1950s. "
my time in the 1950s was spent in college, law school, fulfilling my draft obligation (post-Korea) and starting to practice law. There was no time or money for going steady. And the law indeed was a jealous mistress. So I guess I have to read the book.
"For the past hundred years or so…" within the bubble.ReplyDelete
Is it a recent discovery that the rule of law is nonetheless the rule of men? Law is politics filtered by touchstones, sentences written down to structure improvisation, which is why the previous post, on the Recess Appointments Clause, reduces to a study of grammar. What did Clinton say? "It depends on what the meaning is is." Or maybe that was William Carlos Williams.
Back when I was party to the inner workings of the ACLU, until about the age of 16, they had a policy of staying away from Second Amendment cases. Whichever way you went the choice was so clearly political that it belonged to the public and their representatives to decide. By comparison the Nazis' right to march in Skokie was a given. Call it the formalism of the obvious. These days I'm not sure I trust the ACLU on either.
The gradual retreat from science in scholarship is like a replay of the retreat from God, another version of the advance of secularism. Maybe soon we'll be done with political science. The science of history died 50 years before the Berlin wall came down.
Maybe its time to end the lie of unbiased thought.
"Whichever way you went the choice was so clearly political that it belonged to the public and their representatives to decide."ReplyDelete
This is, to be blunt, the sort of rationalization one only resorts to, having already decided that you will not defend a particular civil liberty. The ACLU just needed an excuse to avoid defending a civil liberty they loathed.

You either interpret or not. Interpretation brings language to life.

I have greatly enjoyed having Book Worm Central as my Virginia book fair vendor. They are efficient, courteous, and endlessly helpful. I have always been pleased with the book When I call, I speak to someone who really knows the business and can get me the answers I need. I know the staff's names and they know mine, unlike some larger companies where I feel like I'm just another unknown customer. I highly recommend Book Worm Central as the best Virginia book fairs experience you will ever have in this area

Andriy Shevchenko has apparently made up his mind on where his future lies.
According to reports, the former AC Milan and Chelsea star will be returning to the English club to work for his good friend Roman Abramovich. This article cites the president of his most recent club Dynamo Kiev, who spilled the beans.
However, Shevchenko himself hasn't pronounced himself just yet. He's just undergone knee surgery after starring for Ukraine in Euro 2012 and he plans to rehab before going public on his final decision.
The Scottish Premier League's loss just may be Major League Soccer's gain.
After the collapse of storied club Glasgow Rangers, their prized winger Sono Aluko is being linked with a move across the pond to the United States. According to a report from The Scottish Sun, the 23-year-old Nigerian international has declared publicly that he does not want his contract renewed, with the publication contending that the Houston Dynamo are leading the charge for his services.
According to the Sun, the New England Revolution are also in the hunt for the outside midfielder, who scored 12 goals in 21 appearances last season for 'Gers. The English-born Aluko spent three seasons playing for fellow SPL side Aberdeen – where he tallied seven times in 82 appearances – prior to joining Rangers. The report also mentions Championship sides Crystal Palace and Charlton as teams interested in Aluko's services.
If the Scottish Football Association agrees to transfer his registration, he could be set to make an immediate impact for whichever club he signs with.
Other than to say it looks like Sporting KC's ambition knows no bounds, I'll let Peter Vermes do the talking on this one.
The Kansas City manager begins discussing the club's pursuit of the Mexican national team starlet around the 3:30 mark in the video below.
Andriy Shevchenko may be taking his talents to Major League Soccer.
The 35-year-old Ukrainian icon has been linked to MLS and says he has "several offers." In a report by The New York Times, Shevchenko — who is married to former American supermodel Kristen Pazik — is prepared to spend time with his two sons in the United States.
While he plans on waiting until after this month's European Championship to make any decisions, he has certainly proved he still has the scoring touch. In Ukraine's 2-1 victory over Sweden in the opening round game of Group D on Monday, Shevchenko scored twice in three minutes to overcome a 1-0 deficit and propel the co-hosts to the top of the leaderboard.
Sheva now has 49 goals in 109 caps for Ukraine, and after a quiet few years since his disappointing production at both Chelsea and AC Milan, a 2009 move to Dynamo Kyiv helped fuel his resurgence. With 23 goals in 53 games, it's become clear that despite his age, he refuses to go away quietly.
While we will not know for certain Shevchenko's intentions until he settles in after the Euros, his move to the States looks more like a "when" than an "if." With the type of numbers he is putting up, and the current form he is in, there are certainly no shortage of MLS teams who could use his firepower up front.
It may have gotten lost outside Philadelphia with Euro 2012 hogging the headlines, but rumors swirled this weekend that Union head coach Peter Nowak had put his name in the hat for the managerial opening at Scottish Premier League side Hearts.
Nowak was quick to deny the claims, but that doesn't mean the Edinburgh Evening News' Barry Anderson is backing off his report, coming out on Twitter to make his position clear.
So who to believe? Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
Un deuxième joueur désigné rejoindra-t-il bientôt Marco Di Vaio à Montréal ? Une pluie de noms, souvent très célèbres, peuplent en tout cas les médias, le web et les réseaux sociaux.
Le club suit la piste Clarence Seedorf : Nick De Santis a déclaré qu'ils avaient parlé argent mais qu'aucune offre concrète n'avait été soumise. Le Néerlandais est aussi sérieusement convoité par Botafogo et Tottenham. En Allemagne, on reparle des diverses options en MLS de Michael Ballack, citant Montréal comme premier choix. Andrei Shevchenko aurait de son côté refusé une offre de l'Impact.
À moins que tout ce monde ne soit coiffé par un gardien ? Donovan Ricketts s'est blessé et le gardien de Saint-Étienne, Jérémie Janot, est à Montréal en ce moment. Une visite à son ami Youssef Dahha, entraîneur des gardiens chez les jeunes de l'Impact. Mais Janot semble prendre la direction de Lens. Et pendant que le club refroidissait la piste Del Piero, certains voyaient Nick De Santis et Alessandro Nesta se promener au centre-ville.
Mais la véritable vedette québécoise des derniers jours, c'est Olivier Occean, qui a marqué le but de la victoire du Canada 0-1 à Cuba : trois points précieux avant de recevoir le Honduras, en quête de revanche après sa défaite 0-2 face au Panama.
Auteur d'un magnifique but samedi dernier contre l'Écosse, Michael Bradley s'est une fois plus fait remarquer positivement par les nombreux clubs qui le convoitent.
Toujours sous contrat au Chievo Vérone, l'international américain peut partir pour une somme que les médias italiens estiment entre 2,5 et 4,5 millions d'euros (3,2 à 5,6 millions de dollars). Le directeur sportif du club déclare d'ailleurs que « la possibilité de le voir sous le maillot de Chievo la saison prochaine est vraiment faible ».
Le milieu de terrain est cité dans plusieurs clubs italiens. La Gazzetta dello Sport mentionne le nom de Palerme, mais ceux qui reviennent le plus souvent sont l'AS Rome et Naples. Toutefois, il pourrait bien prendre la direction d'Anderlecht, qui pense à remplacer l'international argentin Lucas Biglia, annoncé en partance.
L'information annoncée en Italie par Tuttosport et en Belgique par Het Laatste Nieuws est relayée par de nombreux médias. Le site officiel du championnat de Belgique (l'équivalent de mlssoccer.com) mentionne même que son agent dément les contacts avec Rome et Naples, et confirme des discussions de longue date avec Anderlecht.
En signant chez le champion de Belgique, Bradley y deviendrait coéquipier d'un autre international américain, Sacha Kljestan.
The rumors have been swirling around about a possible -- no, probable move away from Fulham for USMNT star Clint Dempsey this summer. The player himself has been very vocal about his desire to play in the Champions League.
"I've always said I'm grateful for everything Fulham has done for me," he said recently. "Some of the best memories I have in soccer have been there. But the fact remains that I want to play in Champions League. I want to play at the highest level possible."
That could become a reality this summer, if a big club comes along to pluck the EPL's 4th top scorer this season. All it will take, according to The Guardian, is £15 million ($24.5m). The English paper rates Dempsey #42 out of the top 50 transfer targets this summer, just behind Chelsea defender David Luiz and just ahead of Benfica midfielder Axel Witsel.
Is that about where Dempsey sits in the pecking order? Probably, though, I think I speak for most US national team fans when I say, someone is going to get a deal if they pick him up for just £15 million this summer.
Could Geoff Cameron become the latest US men's national team player to make the jump across the pond?
Power 5 Center Backs: Best Ball Skills at #3
According to a report on Soccer by Ives, the 26-year-old Houston Dynamo is attracting a number of suitors from across Europe. Though no specific teams have been mentioned, the report cites interest from England, Holland, Germany and Portugal.
If Cameron does make the jump to Europe, which league would fit his style the best? Should he jump straight to the big time and opt for a move to England or Germany, or would he be better off testing the waters in Portugal or the Eredivisie?
Wherever he goes, it's clear that we will begin to hear a lot more about Cameron. His play for the Dynamo has caught the eye of US head coach Jurgen Klinsmann, who now considers him among his top options in the center of defense thanks not only to his defensive abilities, but also his technical skills, which fit in well with Klinsmann's vision for the team.
Does Cameron have what it takes to cut it in Europe? Can he show he's the center back of the future for the US national team? Weigh in with your comments below.
LA Galaxy midfielder David Beckham was in Athens this week for the handover of the Olympic flame and helped fly it back to the UK as the build-up to the London Olympics cranks up a notch.
But he still doesn't know if he will be at the Olympics as a spectator or competitor, trying to bring home a gold medal for the host nation.
After much speculation and debate over his presence at the London 2012 Olympics, Beckham reiterated his strong hope that he will be wearing the Union Jack in his hometown this summer.
Beckham spoke openly in an exclusive interview with the BBC about his chances of making the final 18-man roster for Team GB's Olympic soccer team. The man in charge of the Olympics in London, Lord Sebastian Coe, recently stated there is no pressure from his staff for Beckham to be selected for the games.
Beckham also agrees there should be no room for sentiment, stating he has never relied on sentiment in the past to make a squad or team:
"You don't play for a Manchester United team managed by Sir Alex Ferguson or an England or Real Madrid team managed by Fabio Capello and get picked on sentiment."
"I've been picked to play in many games over my career because of what I've achieved on the field and that doesn't change. I'm in good form, I've scored a couple of goals lately and I'm feeling fit and working hard. So yes, if I'm called upon of course I'm ready. I've always said I wanted to represent my country in any way, shape or form."
"I've done that for many years with England, and I hope to do that with the Great Britain team."
Team GB manager Stuart Pearce will be announcing his squad at the end of May, so Beckham has a few anxious days ahead of him.

Can confidence indicators be useful to predict short term real GDP growth?
AbstractWe investigate the usefulness of the European Commission confidence indicators for forecasting real GDP growth rates in the short run is investigated in selected euro area countries (Belgium, Spain, Germany, France, Italy and the Netherlands) which account for almost 90% of the euro area. A linear relationship between real GDP and confidence indicators is estimated and the forecasting performance of the estimated models compared with a benchmark ARIMA model. It is generally found that confidence indicators can be useful for forecasting real GDP growth rates in the short-run in most of the above-mentioned countries. Notwithstanding some signs of instability in the relation between confidence indicators and real GDP, improvements with the use of time-varying parameter models appear to be fairly limited but confirm the findings obtained with constant parameter techniques. The results obtained are robust to a wide range of variant tests implemented.

DENVER, CO --(Marketwire - February 13, 2013) - Advisorbox officially announces that Live Oak Bank has joined the Advisorbox family of firms. Live Oak Bank was founded in 2007. They provide business loans to five industries including Investment Advisory lending.
The Live Oak lending product offerings address key issues in the financial industry. Live Oak provides lending to RIAs, practice principals, and advisors for mergers and acquisitions, succession funding, expansion, operating capital, consolidate loans, start-up and commercial real estate lending and refinancing.
"Live Oak Bank is providing creative lending solutions to an underserviced M&A market. I'm delighted to welcome them to the Advisorbox family of firms," said David DeVoe, Managing Director at Advisorbox.
Although Live Oak is one of the largest originators of small business loans, their default rates remain one of the lowest in the nation.
The Live Oak Investment Advisory lending team is comprised of experienced and knowledgeable Investment Advisory industry experts. Steve Smits, General Manager, served a Presidential-appointed position as Associate Administrator for the Office of Capital Access at the U.S. Small Business Administration. Smits stated, "We've seen the need for lending solutions in this industry, and we are eager to provide capital access to advisors, so they can reach their goals."
"The fundamental lending philosophy within Live Oak aligns very well with a large segment of the industry. The focus on cash flow lending versus collateral requirements is well received among the advisor community," said Jason Carroll, Managing Director at Live Oak Bank.
Live Oak Bank offers creative loan features and pricing that advisors find favorable. Key features include up to 100% financing for M&A deal and transaction financing and loan consolidation; 25 years for real estate and 10 years for business loan purposes; fund loans up to $5,000,000; very competitive for business loan rates; and fast loan closings as little as 45 days.

As more applications and services move "to the cloud" (public or on-premise) cloud environments are increasingly adopting and building out traditional enterprise features. This in turn is enabling and encouraging cloud adoption from enterprise users. In many ways the definition is blurring as features like continuous operation, geo-distribution or on-demand capacity become the norm. NuoDB is involved in both building enterprise software and using enterprise cloud capabilities. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Seth Proctor, CTO at NuoDB, Inc., will discuss the experiences from building, deploying and using enterprise services and suggest some ways to approach moving enterprise applications into a cloud model.

Until recently, many organizations required specialized departments to perform mapping and geospatial analysis, and they used Esri on-premise solutions for that work.

Almost everyone sees the potential of Internet of Things but how can businesses truly unlock that potential. The key will be in the ability to discover business insight in the midst of an ocean of Big Data generated from billions of embedded devices via Systems of Discover. Businesses will also need to ensure that they can sustain that insight by leveraging the cloud for global reach, scale and elasticity. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Mac Devine, Distinguished Engineer at IBM, will discuss bringing these three elements together via Systems of Discover.

In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Derek Tumulak, Vice President of Product Management at Vormetric, will discuss how to address data security in cloud and Big Data environments so that your organization isn't next week's data breach headline.

Enterprises require the performance, agility and on-demand access of the public cloud, and the management, security and compatibility of the private cloud. The solution? In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Simone Brunozzi, VP and Chief Technologist(global role) for VMware, will explore how to unlock the power of the hybrid cloud and the steps to get there. He'll discuss the challenges that conventional approaches to both public and private cloud computing, and outline the tough decisions that must be made to accelerate the journey to the hybrid cloud. As part of the transition, an Infrastructure-as-a-Service model will enable enterprise IT to build services beyond their data center while owning what gets moved, when to move it, and for how long. IT can then move forward on what matters most to the organization that it supports – availability, agility and efficiency.

Every healthy ecosystem is diverse. This is especially true in cloud ecosystems, where portability and interoperability are more important than old enterprise models of proprietary ownership. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Mark Baker, Server Product Manager at Canonical/Ubuntu, will discuss how single vendors used to take the lead in creating and delivering technology, but in a cloud economy, where users want tools of their preference, when and where they need them, it makes no sense.

MP speaks out over appointment as director
7:30am Saturday 10th May 2014 in News
BANBURY MP Sir Tony Baldry said last night he had acted properly by officially recording his appointment as a director for a property company.
He spoke out after he was appointed director of Werner Capital LLP in March, before listing a £5,000 payment in the Register of Members' Financial Interests. He has since registered a further £20,000 advance payment covering earnings for April to July, for about six hours work a month.
Sir Tony said: "I made it very clear in my election address at the last general election that I had outside interests and if I were re-elected as the Member of Parliament for Banbury I intended to continue with those outside interests.
"When I was first elected as Member of Parliament for Banbury in 1983 I was a practicing barrister and a company director.
"With the exception of the eight years in which I was a Government minister, in addition to being a Member of Parliament, I have continued to be a practicing barrister and a company director.
"Whenever I receive a payment I record it in the register of members' interests."

I had the audacity, to have asked the democratically elected MP for North Oxfordshire, who i had presumed would represent the people of that constituency, the awkward subject of the future of a community sports club based in the second largest town in his constituency.
This was least a improvement on our meeting at his official surgery, March 2012 Sir Tony refused to shake my hand (a commonly recognised greeting worldwide) and then he swore at me, his opening gambit being-we do not need to do that and you can-expletive-off out of here-.
I wish i had a spare £20.000.

WASHINGTON, DC—Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne announced yesterday that, in order to deal with a growing population that just passed 300 million, the U.S. will reopen the immense, barren region known as South Dakota for the first time since it was shuttered in 1931. "Though no human being has stepped foot on that desolate soil for the better part of a century, we believe it is the best option for addressing the overcrowding we see in the country's habitable states," Kempthorne said. "The great, uncharted territory of South Dakota is henceforth open, with plenty of space for anyone who wants it—anyone at all." According to Kempthorne, if national population continues to grow at this rate, his agency may consider lifting the federal ban on non-Mormon residents in Utah.

Introducing Foods Produced Using Biotechnology: The Case Of Bovine Somatotropin
AbstractA mailed questionnaire was used to assess consumer concerns and potential consumption response attributable to the introduction of bovine somatotropin (bST). Responses from 605 households in Virginia are described and analyzed. Logit models were estimated to identify which issues shape consumersÂ' decisions to alter milk purchases contingent on the introduction of bST and to determine whether socioeconomic characteristics explain consumersÂ' attitudes toward these issues. Estimates based on survey responses point toward sizable reductions in fluid milk purchases if bST is introduced. Large retail price reductions are predicted to be insufficient to offset these estimated decreases. Consumer education and marketing strategies are discussed.

Outside the Israeli Consulate, 26 People Get Arrested

Most Americans are eating cat food out of garbage cans these days, so the last thing they want to read about is whether Paris Hilton was wearing patchouli oil—and someone else's boyfriend—as she went shopping for a new garment bag.
That kind of giddy voyeurism suddenly seems completely tasteless and trivial—even more so than usual! Similarly, Lindsay Lohan's dabbling with Judaism has the world going "Oy" and even Jacko's faceless comeback isn't anywhere near as exciting as the fact that I just found a CD with a 2.5 percent interest rate! And you only have to lock it in for five years!
As gawker.com recently noted, gossip has lost much of its luster because it generally works best when you feel comfortable enough to immerse yourself in grand-scale silliness and luxury. Now that things have changed so dramatically, the only dish that captivates the masses is pitch-dark stuff like the Rihanna saga or the Bernie Madoff scandal, our pervy side liking to see celebs in crisis while our compassionate half wants them back on their feet, regardless of the footwear. Depression-era gossip gets even more darkly riveting with Octomom—or, as I like to call her, Octopussy—because she's just like us, except totally crazy!
But don't worry, dear reader. As the tides change, I'll be at the forefront of covering the freaks, the grim stories, and the wavering bank rates. In fact, I'm writing this from the decimated halls of Washington Mutual, where I'm taking everything out as we speak!
Fortunately, lots of people—well, gay people—still care about Broadway, where 20-plus shows are opening by the end of the season and swarms of Oscar winners will get wackily crowded out of Tony categories. Sneaking in between the trophy holders, the hard-rock jukebox musical Rock of Ages is moving to the Brooks Atkinson while boasting the lowest top prices and tightest T-shirts on the main strip.
At an open rehearsal last week, we learned that, on some level, the show is "a celebration of the stupidity of rock," complete with a love story, a flushing toilet, and the guy who had to drop out of Xanadu. It also stars Constantine Maroulis, the nice Greek-American who belted his way into the top six on American Idol's season four. "In this climate, this is the perfect show," Maroulis assured me at the event. "You get a great time—we were called a 'legitimate artistic achievement' by the press. We might have some trouble convincing the highbrow peeps, but that's not our crowd anyway!"
The show's '80s arena rock, said Maroulis, involves big songs and chords and some very large hair. And you can eventually watch it from arena seating; New Line just bought it for the movies. Will he be in the film? "Let's hope so," the rocker said, laughing. "At least I can maybe sing the tracks for Zac Efron or whoever gets the part instead of me." (Nuh-uh. If anyone gets to force something into Zac's lips, it's me!)
Being a twisted sister, I couldn't leave without asking about his reality-show swan song, Nickelback's "How You Remind Me." "I love Nickelback!" Maroulis swore. "But you were booted off," I shrieked. "Don't you want to Poison their asses?" "I think that was an unfortunate part of my journey on American Idol," he admitted. (Hey, I love Journey!) "I was set to do another song—something by U2 or Maroon 5—but they couldn't get the rights that fast. That was then. Nowadays, it's like, 'Sing it! Even if it sucks, our catalog will go through the roof!' " Oh, really? In that case, I'll promptly be pitching them numbers from my new Rush Limbaugh musical, Crock of Ages.
Up at the Triad, a revue with shorter hair and looser outfits called Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? is a well-timed assemblage of gloomy material from the last Depression, with far more gravitas than, say, Confessions of a Shopaholic. In fact, I wanted to shoot myself by the end of it—and that's a very good review.
But 33 Variations feels like the '80s again: It turns out to be a muddy mixture of pseudo-highbrow problem play and Lifetime movie, aiming to be both cute and profound. The plot parallels stricken musicologist Jane Fonda ("So, eventually she won't be able to speak anymore?") and the deaf Beethoven ("Your ears are bothering you, Ludwig. Is it the ringing?"), who apparently not only loved the everyday joys of beer hall dancing, he was a Borscht Belt comic on the side. Still, I liked the three children of famous people who star in it, especially the riveting Fonda—and when a cell phone's musical tones rang out from the audience, I was thrilled she didn't break character and say, "Is that the 34th variation?"
I recently ran into another Oscar winner who's on the boards—Estelle Parsons—and she was moaning, "It used to be treated like a much bigger deal when you were on Broadway!" It's true, people didn't watch you while texting with one hand and eating onion rings with the other. Well, Parsons was honored at the Women's Project fancy gala at the Pierre last week, and she seemed far more duly appreciated. "I feel calm and spacious," she said, quoting Ian McEwan. "Fully qualified to exist."

Spinning in the October snow
Outdoor winter enthusiasts weren't disappointed with the approximate six inches of snow that blanketed green lawns and gardens Friday night and Saturday. On Sunday, Don Hyde pulled his son Chris Hyde and stepson Ray Ramirez behind a four-wheeler on a vacant lot in town. Temperatures are predicted to warm to the upper 60s later this week.

The haves and the have-nots come face-to-face in the Broadway hit Good People. Written by Pulitzer Prize winner David Lindsay-Abaire (Rabbit Hole), this Tony-nominated dramatic comedy finds struggling single mother Margie Walsh laid off from her job at the dollar store and left with the reality that her South Boston neighborhood is providing the same level of opportunity it always has: none. It's the kind of place where, for many people, this month's paycheck covers last month's bills. Facing eviction, Maggie's forced to turn to an old high school flame for help. But he's now a successful physician living in the suburbs ... and Margie is way out of her element. With his signature humorous glow, David Lindsay-Abaire explores the struggles, shifting loyalties and unshakable hope that come with having next to nothing in America. Learn More

Awesome show! A very different one-of-a-kind experience.

What a hoot! The show was quick and clocked in at around an hour, but the man's creativity and sense of fun was endlessly entertaining.
Quotes & Highlights
"It's an absolute hoot…irrepressible" – The New York Times
"…a hilarious parade of delights and surprises." – San Francisco Examiner
"A sustained hour of heaven by an entertainer touched by genius." – Time Out London
"Ennio is electric, eclectic shocker. Breezy, Campy, Fun." – San Jose Mercury
Award-winning Italian comedian Ennio Marchetto, is ENNIO, a one man origami extravaganza! Audiences unfamiliar with the Venetian born Marchetto will be unprepared for what lies in store. Backed by an eclectic soundtrack of the latest hits and using an ingenious assortment of intricate paper costumes that defy description, Ennio morphs into pop culture icons. One moment he is Bruce Springsteen singing 'Born in the USA', the next he is Popeye dancing a jig. The list of parodies is endless and the ENNIO repertoire has expanded for the Wadsworth Theatre engagement to include such notables as: Beyonce, Aretha Franklin, Wonder Woman, the (new) Pope, Liberace, Bruce Lee, Britney Spears, the Beach Boys, Billy Idol and more. No one is safe when Ennio picks up his paper cut-outs!

LeBron's Press Conference – Whaaaaaaa?
The Mavericks sent the Heat packing Sunday night and won their first NBA Championship. There's a lot there to break down. But I choose to focus on what happened after the game; when "King" James took to the podium and firmly planted his foot square in his mouth (This is the second edition of my will be running column "Whaaaa?" To check out the first, click here).

LeBron James Performance Last Night Was No Big Deal
Eight points on 3 of 11 shooting. 0 for 1 in the 4th quarter. Zero points when it mattered!
I'll be the first to admit it - LeBron James had a bad game last night in Game #4 of the NBA Finals against Dallas.
Alright, it was a really, really bad game in Miami's 86-83 loss. But let's not all start selling "The King" down the river just yet.

September 26, 2010 — Heritage Park in Barrie was bustling with beavers on Saturday.
Kempenfelt Bay was bobbing with 10,000 plastic beavers on Saturday. Despite the rain and overcast conditions, people came out in droves to launch their red beavers, which is very much like a rubber-ducky race.
The charity event was put on by the Kempenfelt Rotary Club and the first place winner was awarded $10,000. According to the website, the festival is a celebration of being Canadian with an emphasis on the iconic beaver. The Club is hoping to make this an annual event that takes place every September.
For those who didn't participate in the competition, there was a variety of things to see and do, including taking a walk down 'Beaver Lane.' Exhibitors, artisans and vendors that represented the flat-tailed mammals or represented true Canadian spirit were all lined up along the lane. Poutine, maple syrup, wood carving and of course, beaver tail booths could all be found at the event.
On Friday, the festival opened with an all-ages concert, that included some popular Canadian rock bands.

Since late last year, director Kathryn Bigelow and writer Mark Boal have been hard at work on black ops thriller, the details of which, at the time, were being kept under wraps but was rumored to be about the hunt for Osama Bin Laden. Those rumors turned out be true but when the Al Qaeda leader was suddenly killed a few weeks ago, it was reported that Boal a former investigative reporter, shifted his research and resources and was already rewriting with a section covering the 40 minute firefight that resulted in Bin Laden's death. Even more, Aussie actor Joel Edgerton was said to be a frontrunner for the untitled film -- also referred to as "Kill Bin Laden" -- but once, again word quieted. But not for long.
THR reports that the project now has a home at Columbia Pictures who have picked up the U.S. rights for the film. Moreover, the planned summer shoot is still very much on target but as for casting, there is no word on anyone just yet. Edgerton's name has quietly dropped off though it's likely to due to the fact he was recently cast in Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby" which will also be lensing this summer. Regardless, Bigelow will likely have her choice of actors for the follow up to "The Hurt Locker."
So, is this Oscar bait? You better believe it. The film is being planned for a "fourth quarter" 2012 release which essentially guarantees this will be an awards season film through and through. But you already knew that. Undoubtedly more to come as the film gears to start shooting very soon.

That copyright thing never went through.

They won't be able to use the name Seal Team 6 since it's been copyrighted by Disney.
cirkusfolk | May 25, 2011 4:02 AM
One thing is for sure, and that is any film dealing with the death of Bin Laden will make crazy bank at the box office.

whowhat | May 25, 2011 2:35 AM
I'm still paused and confused at 40 minute firefight....
Kevin Jagernauth | May 25, 2011 1:08 AM
Right, duh.
Holly | May 25, 2011 1:06 AM
Maybe Edgerton had to drop out now he has a lead role in Baz Luhrman's The Great Gatsby? I think that is due to shoot later in the summer as well.

Watch out! No (corporate) record store is safe from the latest
weapon in the culture-jammer's arsenal: droplifting.
In an article in the October/November issue of
Adbusters magazine Paul Schmelzer profiles the
Droplift Project, an underground collaboration of 29 audio collage
artists, who put together a CD mixing top 40, commercial sounds,
B-movies and instructional films to create a unique sound. Then, in
late July, members in cities from Los Angeles to Calgary,
Minneapolis to Orlando, covertly 'droplifted' (a spin on
'shoplift') thousands of shrink-wrapped copies onto the shelves of
Tower, Sam Goody, and other corporate music store chains.
The project has drawn praise from members of Negativland, 'possibly
the only found-sound artists to legitimately appear in Tower
Records' inventory,' writes Schmelzer. Negativland's Don Joyce
points out the beautiful irony of the Droplift prank: a CD
constructed from borrowed clips gets slipped into the corporate bin
only to be commodified by the very industry that had previously
refused to promote it. Says Joyce, 'It's an almost perfect
integration of content, medium, and point made.' -- Leif

ATHENS (Reuters) – A Boeing 757-200 traveling from Britain to the Egyptian resort of Sharm el Sheikh made an emergency landing at Athens' airport Monday after receiving a bomb threat, officials said.
All 213 passengers are safe and police are checking the plane for any explosives, police and Defense Ministry officials told Reuters.
The plane was chartered by Thomson Airways, owned by UK's TUI Travel. TUI Travel confirmed the emergency landing.
"A British passenger plane chartered by Thomson Airways made an emergency landing at Athens international airport after a bomb threat. The plane was flying to Egypt," an airport official said.
A police official said the passengers were now in the airport terminal. "It will take some time to check the whole plane."
A Defense Ministry official said Greek jets escorted the plane to Athens after it received the bomb threat.
"At 1417 (1117 GMT) the plane requested to land, at 1422 (1122 GMT) two F16 jets took off from Greece and escorted it, at 1452 (1152 GMT) the Boeing landed at Athens international airport," said the official who declined to be named.

Learning Upgrade is offering free access to its Web-based curriculum over the summer in an effort to help schools fight summer slide.
The company's K-8 math and English language arts courses are aligned to the Common Core and feature songs, videos and games. Students can access the platform at school or home and teachers can monitor progress and provide feedback to students and parents through online reports.
"Learning Upgrade's intuitive platform provides students with immediate feedback as well as additional support and remediation when and where students need it," according to a news release. "Once a student has demonstrated mastery of a given skill, they are automatically advanced to the next lesson."
"Combating the summer slide is a very real challenge for school and district leaders across the country. We know they are looking for resources that will engage their students, but won't break the bank," said Vinod Lobo, Learning Upgrade CEO and co-founder, in a prepared statement. "Over the past three years, Learning Upgrade has offered completely free licenses to schools or districts looking for resources that will support their students over the summer. The feedback we have received in past years has been so overwhelmingly positive, we have expanded our program for the upcoming summer."

Persian Mirrors: The Elusive Face of Iranby Elaine Sciolino
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
As a correspondent for Newsweek and The New York Times, Elaine Sciolino has had more experience covering Iran than any other American reporter. She was aboard the airplane that took Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini to Tehran in 1979 and was there for the Iranian revolution, the hostage crisis, the Iran-Iraq war, the rise of President Khatami, and the riots of the summer of 1999. In Persian Mirrors, Sciolino takes us into the public and private spaces of Iran and uncovers an alluring and seductive nation where a great battle is raging — not for control over territory, but for the soul of its people.
About the Author
Elaine Sciolino is a senior writer in the Washington bureau of The New York Times. She is also the author of The Outlaw State: Saddam Hussein's Quest for Power and the Gulf Crisis.
