STAMFORD, Conn. — The Stamford schools were not chosen to participate in a new collaborative to extend the school day, however Superintendent Winifred Hamilton would like to give it a try.

It would help kids learn more, Hamilton said, which happened when Stamford extended class times from 48 or 49 minutes to 60 minutes for math, social studies, language arts and science classes in the middle schools. The district lengthened classes in response to low test scores and saw an improvement.
"The achievement in middle school has been terrific," Hamilton said, adding that more kids are now taking honors and other higher level classes.
Extending the school day would also give students more time for enrichment classes as well as academic ones, she said.
The district recently agreed to terms with the teachers' union on a three-year contract, but the subject of extending the school day was not brought up, Hamilton said.
Several schools in East Hartford, Meriden and New London were chosen earlier this week to participate in a collaborative across the country that will expand and redesign the school year calendar, adding 300 hours of school time, Gov. Dannel Malloy said. The schools will roll out the new calendar in fall 2013.
Hamilton commended the districts, the schools and the unions involved for agreeing to terms to extend the school day and participate in the program. "Figuring that out was time well spent," she said.
The state was one of five chosen to participate in the collaborative effort by state leaders, the Ford Foundation and the National Center on Time and Learning. Costs for the program will be covered by federal and state funds.
"At a time when many other states were cutting funding for local education, Connecticut went in another direction, adding more than $300 million to public schools, much of that designated for struggling districts," Malloy said of what the state is doing to improve education.

High School:
Two-year letterwinner at Bellaire High School in Houston, Texas.
Did not play football of any kind, not even Pop Warner, until his junior year of high school. Previously, spent all his time working to achieve a basketball scholarship to follow in footsteps of older brother DeAndre Jordan of the Los Angeles Clippers. After one year of football, received much more attention from colleges in that sport than he had as a hoops player.
Despite not catching a pass, garnered second-team all-district honors in his first year as a tight end, 2010, primarily due to his physical and sound blocking ability on an offense that averaged 153.5 rushing yards per game.
During his junior campaign, helped the 7-4 Cardinals to a playoff berth and just their third season of six-or-more wins since 1972.
Similar to former Rams tight end Crockett Gillmore, began his football career as a defensive end, but after one game, permanently moved across the line of scrimmage.
After attending football camps at Baylor, SMU, Texas A&M and TCU, returned as a senior to garner first-team all-district honors, catching five passes for 39 yards, with one TD and a reception on a two-point conversion.
Helped BHS to a 6-5 mark and another berth in the first round of the Texas 5A playoffs.
On the hardwood, was a four-year letterman and two-year starter as a forward on the Bellaire basketball team. Averaged 11 points and eight rebounds per game as a senior.
Owns a 6-foot-11 wingspan measured from fingertip to fingertip.
Head football coach was Trey Herrmann.
Personal: Given name Brett Anthony Jordan...son of Kimberly Jordan and stepfather Frederick Williams...third child in a family of four boys, has two older brothers and one younger brother...older brother DeAndre Jordan is a 6-foot-11, starting center for the Los Angeles Clippers, selected in the second round of the 2008 NBA Draft after one season at Texas A&M...after making a recruiting trip to Fort Collins, attended DeAndre's Jan. 29, 2012, game against the Nuggets at the Pepsi Center, where Chris Paul and Blake Griffin tweeted to millions of followers news of his CSU commitment... another older brother, Cory, played baseball at San Jacinto College...younger brother Avery, played basketball with Brett at BHS...interested in majoring in business...Hometown: Houston, Texas.

So I can not only provide input towards the little things you wonder about . . . such as the best restaurants in town, but I can also give you a locals perspective on all the best places to fish, mountain bike, snowshoe, find the leftover powder stashes and all the other activities that keep people coming back to our Mountain town. I own a few units in town and I also manage several others for out of town owners, so let me know how I can help find something that meets your needs! Most importantly, you will also have someone locally to count on (via phone or at your doorstep) to ensure your vacation runs smoothly for you and your family!

Hi: 11° Lo:4°
By Tristan Harris Monday 03 December 2012 Updated: 10/12 09:51
TWO CRASHES on the M5 this morning (Monday) have led to long tailbacks for rush hour commuters.
The first incident, involving three cars, took place on the southbound carriageway between Junction 4A (Bromsgrove) and 5 (Droitwich) at around 7.20am.
And then, at 8.30am, another crash, this one involving two vehicles, happened just 200 yards away from the first on the same southbound carriageway.
Luckily no one was seriously injured in the collisions, but, police say, the position of the cars on the carriageway has meant lengthy delays for drivers.

Bulgarian Ethnic Turkish Party Declares It Won't Form Interim Cabinet
Bulgarian ethnic Turkish party Movement for Rights and Freedoms is not interested in forming an interim Cabinet, the party's leader, Lyutvi Mestan, told reporters on Friday.
His statement follows the surprising resignation of Prime Minister Boyko Borisov and his Cabinet on Wednesday.
Bulgaria's President Rosen Plevneliev launched Friday consultations with all political parties after the Parliament voted Thursday the resignation of the Cabinet "Borisov."
After the consulations, the President is required to assign the task to appoint a Cabinet to the largest parliamentary party within a 7-day deadline. If this fails, then the President does the same with the second largest group. If this fails, the mandate is given to a third group of the President's choice.
All groups have now declared that they will decline.
This means that the President must appoint a caretaker government, and then, with one single decree, adjourn the Parliament and schedule a new general election no later than two months after the termination of the powers of the last government.

Haunting Melissa 2 Arrives in iTunes Store Thursday
Dark Hearts: The Secret of Haunting Melissa, should be available for download from the iTunes store this Thursday, the 20th, tomorrow as I write. This is the sequel to the innovative ghost story in an iOS app, created by Neal Edelstein and scripted by me. I haven't seen the whole thing yet, but I've seen a lot of it and I can say without reservation that it looks absolutely terrific. Neal did a fabulous job with the material and so did the cast from the beautiful Kassia Warshawski — Melissa — on down.
Take a look at the trailer below, then get the app. It's free though there are in-app purchases. If you have an Android… dude, buy an iPhone.

Coming Soon: Dark Hearts: The Secret of Haunting Melissa
Some of you were probably too busy voting Democrats out of office to notice that a terrific new trailer for the Haunting Melissa sequel came out on YouTube last week. HM was director Neal Edelstein's innovative ghost-movie-in-an-app that climbed the App Store bestseller list in 2013. The script to that film was by your humble correspondent as is the script to the sequel, Dark Hearts: The Secret of Haunting Melissa, which is due out later this month:

New Ghost Stories for Halloween
Here's a find for my fellow ghost story lovers, just in time for Halloween. Wandering aimlessly about the internet, I stumbled on a British site called The Fiction Desk. They apparently run an annual ghost story competition and then publish the winners as an anthology. So okay, for eight bucks I'm game. I downloaded last year's book — New Ghost Stories — to see if there was anything worth reading.
And yes, I'm delighted to report there very much is! The ghost story is hard to do and I'm a connoisseur and very particular. A good ghost story doesn't horrify but is marked by a shudder at the crisis point and a fine long chill afterward. M.R. James did it routinely; E.F. Benson and E. A. Poe both did it spectacularly a few times; Stephen King is a modern master when he puts his mind to it. There are many others less well known, but my point is, it takes real skill to pull it off.
All the stories in this anthology are skillful. All are well written. Most are pretty spooky. Some are very good. One — Chalklands by Richard Smyth — is downright excellent: beautifully written, wonderfully imagined, expertly constructed — and it delivers a genuine long-lasting eerie scare.
I've read a lot — a lot — of anthologies that include the most famous living names in the genre. This anthology can stand up with any of them. I realize eight dollars isn't chump change, but these lesser known writers could all use support. So if you have the coin and enjoy a good ghost story, this is a solid anthology and good bedtime reading for the 31st.

Great Writing For Understanding Scary Writing
There is precious little intelligent writing about ghost stories and horror but you know who's doing some? My pal John J. Miller. I don't just say this because he's a friend, but because the last two pieces he did on the subject were absolutely terrific. The piece he wrote recently for the wonderful Claremont Review on H.P. Lovecraft — The Horror, The Horror — was so good I actually had to write the guy a fan letter. Sure, I knew he'd use it against me some day but what could I do? Reading his essay was like eating some kind of confection. Try this bit:
The biggest barrier to Lovecraft's mainstream acceptance had been his status as a writer of horror fiction—a field of literature that suffers from the suspicion that its readers take a perverse delight in graphic descriptions of torture and murder. This is an unfortunate misunderstanding, brought on in part by the sad fact that some horror books and movies really are no better than this. In its practical application, however, the classification horror encompasses a wide range of creative expression, from lowbrow penny dreadfuls and shilling shockers to Henry James's The Turn of the Screw. Much of the confusion is semantic. Strictly defined, horror is a blend of fear and disgust, the revulsion we feel in the face of cruelty and decay. Although Lovecraft certainly exploited this emotion—read the final paragraph of "The Rats in the Walls," for instance—most of the time he aimed higher. The finest horror fiction is really about terror, which combines fear and awe in a powerful sensation that haunts rather than startles. Lovecraft sometimes used the term supernatural horror, but as a thoroughgoing materialist, he didn't really believe in the supernatural. If a phenomenon appeared to violate the laws of nature, he argued, it was only because we didn't understand the science of the laws. Much of Lovecraft's work originally ran in a pulp magazine called Weird Tales, with weird meaning eerie or uncanny. Yet that promising word never really caught on as a label. So we're stuck with calling it all horror, and cramming slasher flicks like Friday the 13th and its interminable sequels into the same broad category as the most refined ghost stories, such as Vladimir Nabokov's "The Vane Sisters" and Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House.
Dude! That's what good writing about genre fiction looks like when it's at home. The rest is here.
John did another great one on the ghost story writer Robert Aickman — one of my favorites — for the WSJ, but it's behind a paywall. But there's more good stuff on his website.

HollywoodInToto.Com: A Great New Culture Site
While America suffers the wages of leftism in the political sphere — authoritarianism, censorship and sluggish economy at home; spreading violence and tyranny abroad — those who are in and on the right have been making a strong move into the all-important world of culture. At Britain's socialist newspaper The Guardian, cranky lefty Ewan Morrison (h/t Instapundit and Reason) complains that most of the recent YA films — The Giver, Hunger Games, Divergent — honestly depict state oppression and champion libertarian freedom. As one leftist commenter cries, "The masses are increasingly right wing with an antagonism to politics and to the state. They need to be confronted." To which Instapundit hilariously replies, "Confront away, Big Boy."
And here's more good news: there's an excellent major new movie site that champions civilized values too. HollywoodinToto features a look at pop culture with "a Conservative Edge." The edgy-guy in chief there is Christian Toto, who for a long time was one of the best culture writers at Big Hollywood. He knows movies and TV well, both from an aesthetic and political perspective.
The site is already rocking with cool, smart articles like "Sopranos vs. Breaking Bad: Why Walter White Wins," and "The Sad, Unpredictable Fall of Russell Brand," along with lots of reviews of films old and new.
Listen, I'm not against complaining about left wing culture — but I am against complaining and not supporting the true culture warriors of the right. Christian Toto is one of them — I mean, just look at his name! Check the site out. You'll be glad.

I Sign On to The Gosnell Movie
Back in May, when I promoted Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer in their heroic effort to crowd fund a movie about abortionist/serial killer Kermit Gosnell, I did not expect that I was going to end up writing it! But according to what I read in The Hollywood Reporter, that's how it has shaken out:
The TV movie or feature film about imprisoned abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell has hired as its writerAndrew Klavan, a bestselling novelist whose book True Crime was made into a movie starring and directed by Clint Eastwood.
Those behind the Gosnell project set a record at Indiegogo in May by raising more than $2.1 million via a crowdfunding campaign. Klavan is expected to use gruesome details from a grand jury report to craft the story of Gosnell, who was convicted of murder after killing live babies born at his Philadelphia abortion clinic.
"As I've begun to get into the research materials, it's started to come home to me that we've all taken on a huge responsibility," Klavan said. "The women who were brutalized by this Gosnell monster — they can tell their stories. But all his victims, all those babies — we've got to figure out a way to speak for them somehow."
Klavan also wrote Don't Say a Word, which was made into a movie starring Michael Douglas, and he authored a series of young-adult novels called The Homelanders. He also has written opinion articles for several newspapers, including a controversial piece in The Wall Street Journal that compared Batman as portrayed in The Dark Knight to President George W. Bush.
The producers of Gosnell, husband and wife Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney, along with Magdalena Segieda, have made their case that their independent movie is necessary because the mainstream media and traditional Hollywood has largely ignored Gosnell and his crimes, and Klavan agrees.
I do indeed, and I'm very excited to be part of this project. Phelim and Ann are top-notch filmmakers and people, and it's a genuine pleasure to be working with them on a story of this importance.

'Haunting Melissa 2′ Is Looking Great!
Director Neal Edelstein has finished filming my script for the sequel of the bestselling and Appy-award-winning storytelling app Haunting Melissa. It's called Haunting Melissa 2: Dark Hearts, and I have to say, it is looking unbelievably good. I had a chance to see some of the dailies as they were coming in, and then dropped in on Neal in the editing room the other day to watch some rough cut scenes. As spooky as the first story was, he is definitely taking the thing to a new level.
For those of you who didn't get a chance to download the first Haunting Melissa app, it's very innovative, very cool. It delivers filmed portions of a ghost story to your iPhone or iPad on its own schedule. You never know when your phone is suddenly going to whisper, "Melissssssa," scaring the bejabbers out of you and announcing that a new chapter of the creepy tale has arrived.
The first film, also directed by Neal and written by me, told the story of Melissa Strogue, who begins hearing voices while staying alone in the farmhouse where her mother died. If you want to watch the story before the sequel comes out, it's still available, though it's exclusive to iOS devices and as far as I know, there are no plans to do an Android version any time soon.
Anyway, when you write for film but don't direct, you never know how things are going to turn out, and I'm very excited to see the way this is going. Every scene I've watched so far has been well shot, well acted, emotional and scary. The beautiful Kassia Warshawski returns to play the title role, and the somewhat less beautiful but still talented Greg Lawson — who just recently had a part in the Fargo TV series — is back as her father.
It's nice when you're able to plug something you've worked on and do it with complete honesty. I think I can honestly recommend: if you like ghost stories, download Haunting Melissa and watch it now, because you're definitely going to want to see the sequel.

God's Not Dead, But Some Are Trying
Take a look at some of these reviews for the religious indie hit God's Not Dead:
From Britain's Socialist newspaper The Guardian: "This warped evangelist item… veers from the suspect… to the outright hateful: by the jawdropping climax, wherein a preacher is effectively granted divine right to mow down non-believers, "doing God's work" has become indistinguishable from Grand Theft Auto. Ban this sick filth."
Here's one from Movie Nation: "It's a movie where rare is the voice that is raised, but deep is the rage bubbling through its rabid anti-intellectualism. When a non-believer is considered to be better off dead, that's not brimstone you're smelling. It's bile."
And from my old employers The Village Voice: "Judging by the ignorance and contempt with which the script treats nonbelievers, the real goal here is proving that non-Christians are worthless."
I admit those reviews are the extreme ones. I disagreed with Claudia Puig's negative review at USA Today but it was fair and honest and gave credit where credit was due. She and I saw the same flaws and strengths but came out with a different overall impression. Tastes differ.
My take? God's Not Dead, is a pleasant and touching little entertainment, the core of which is an intelligent, succinct, well-reasoned and well-stated response to popular atheist arguments. There's no Bible thumping, there are no threats of hellfire, there's no attempt to "prove" God's existence — the film admits it can't be proved. But the script makes clear what I have thought for a long time: most atheist arguments, no matter how brilliant the scientist or philosopher who makes them, are just simply not very good judged on the merits.
What's more, the movie is bracing in its vigor. It doesn't hesitate to depict both the unkindness and the pain of a Muslim father when his daughter discovers Christ. His is a perfectly plausible reaction and we all know there are Muslim fathers who would do much worse. Nor does the movie fail to confront the fact of suffering and death that many non-believers find a dispositive argument against faith. I was happily surprised at how far the filmmakers were willing to go in making their case.

Is Sex Just Sex?
An excellent debate went on at The Week last week (h/t to director Jeremy Boreing for sending it to me). The issue was sex.
In a civilized and considered essay, senior correspondent Damon Linker declares, "The culture war isn't really about culture, and it never has been. It's about sex."
Welcome to sexual modernity — a world in which the dense web of moral judgments and expectations that used to surround and hem in our sex lives has been almost completely dissolved, replaced by a single moral judgment or consideration: individual consent. As long as everyone involved in a sexual act has chosen to take part in it — from teenagers fumbling through their first act of intercourse to a roomful of leather-clad men and women at a BDSM orgy — anything and everything goes.
All of our so-called cultural conflicts flow from this monumental shift — and the fact that some of our fellow citizens (religious traditionalists and other social conservatives) are terrified by the new dispensation.
Linker goes on to say that, while he feels comfortable with modern sexual liberty and appreciates its relief from "sexually inspired suffering, shame, humiliation, and self-loathing," he has also come to appreciate that some traditionalist critiques of the situation are worth considering. The gains of the sexual revolution are clear: "It's fun! It feels good!" But it may be that traditionalist fears that promiscuity threatens the stability of society and the welfare of children have merit.

Who Took the Hero out of Hercules?
You wouldn't think it possible to say something profound about a movie starring The Rock — it seems almost an offense against reason! But over at the classics website The Forum — or as I like to call it "Young Klavan on Old Culture" — my son Spencer delivers a brilliant treatise on why taking the myth out of mythology gives us, not modern profundity, but emptiness and cynicism:
Back in the day, hero myths were how Ancient Greece told the stories that America now tells in superhero comics. An unstoppable renegade throwing a destructive hissy fit then going down in a blaze of glory for the good guys: that's Phoenix from X-Men and Achilles from the Iliad. An ordinary guy turned extraordinary champion of justice to avenge a murdered father: that's Batman and Theseus. And the long-lost son of super-parents in the sky, raised by humans to save earth with unheard-of strength and powers? That's Superman. That's Hercules.
But Dwayne Johnson's Hercules is no Superman. In this movie, all that phony supernatural stuff is for suckers, a bedtime story that Hercules perpetuates to pump up his image. Scene after smug scene, the movie knowingly debunks its mythic origins. Son of Zeus? Let the saps believe that so they'll fear me, says The Rock. Centaurs? Please. Just dudes on horses (from far away . . . before contact lenses). "I have seen too much reality to believe the legends," says the canny queen, Ergenia, but "the people need a hero."
In other words: Joe Schmo needs a pretty story so he can believe in "virtue" and "heroism." The élites know better.
Yowsa! And he's just getting started. Read the rest of it, really. It's all good.

Farewell the Maverick
I know: with the Obama presidency unraveling in a disaster for America and the world, it seems absurd to waste a blog post on the death of actor James Garner. But bear with me. This is a blog on the culture. It was the culture, dominated by leftists, that helped make this catastrophic presidency possible. Garner's death underscores part of what went wrong.
The star of the '50s TV western Maverick and the '70s private eye show The Rockford Files died at 86 over the weekend. He was a wonderfully charming and entertaining actor who made some fine movies (The Great Escape, The Americanization of Emily) but was only truly a star on the small screen. In this, he resembled two other favorites of mine, David Janssen, who starred in The Fugitive and Harry O and Darren McGavin, who starred in Mike Hammer, The Outsider, and The Night Stalker.
I'm not sure — no one's really sure — what made an actor more suitable for the small screen rather than the movies back in the day, or why some could move comfortably between one and the other. Garner, Janssen and McGavin all had a limited range and a set number of out-sized mannerisms. But that was true of John Wayne and Clint Eastwood too, two of the biggest movie stars of all time. Maybe something about Garner and the others was just more recognizable and knowable and human than what we saw in movie stars when there actually were movie stars. Wayne, Eastwood — even more actorly stars like Brando and Pacino — all had something huge and iconic about them. No matter how well they played their parts, they were always more personae than persons. You could imagine hanging out with Garner. You could only dream about being John Wayne.

MindWar: 'A Cross Between Tron, This Present Darkness, Ender's Game, and The Matrix.'
Had a chance to chat in depth with Paul Cook at CBS station KMOX NewsRadio 1120 out of St. Louis. The talk ran from writing fiction to politics to my new novel MindWar, the first in a trilogy of Sci-Fi adventure novels for young adults. First reviews for the book are starting to come in over at Amazon. I like this one from Wheelsms: "It reads like a cross between Tron, This Present Darkness, Ender's Game, and The Matrix." Not bad.
The story centers on Rick Dial, a one time star high school quarterback who retreats into obsessive gaming after his legs are shattered in a car crash. Turns out, his gaming skills combined with his quarterback reflexes and mentality, make him the perfect candidate to fight the MindWar and he's injected into a video game-like atmosphere where the stakes are very real and very high.
You can buy it here, and you should!

Don't Miss FX's TV-Version of Fargo
I've had so much to say about so many things that I haven't had a chance to put up a quick review of the TV version of Fargo recently on FX. I'm afraid a lot of people who would have loved this show might have missed it on the first go round. The problem was, the first episode was delightfully complex and murderous, a really good imitation of the tone and content of the original (great) Coen Brothers movie of the same name. But there was so much in the pilot that, almost by necessity, the second and third episodes felt as if they fell off a little. I know a few people who stopped watching at this point. A mistake, it turns out. The show climbed right back to the level of the first episode and then continued to get better and better until it was absolutely spectacular.
The show really managed to capture the Fargo tone of foul crime in the good-natured heartland. Great plotting, great dialogue, great characters played by great actors. Martin Freeman and Billy Bob Thornton were absolutely wonderful — their characters both so villainous in such different ways that their interaction became kind of a running meditation on the nature of evil. Not as much flash and dazzle as True Detective but far, far better on the crime story fundamentals. A really gripping ride.

VIDEO: Are We Not Men?
A character in my novel Man And Wife points out that it's difficult to talk about manhood because an essential part of manhood is not talking about it. But that didn't stop me from joining a panel with my friends at BOND during their annual Father's Day Conference on Fatherhood and Men. With the fearless and humorous preacher Jesse Lee Peterson leading the discussion, the 45-minutes or so absolutely zipped by. Here it is for your delectation and delight:
By the way, if you click on the Jesse Lee Peterson link, you'll find my City Journal profile of him, the anti-Jesse Jackson. If you click on Man And Wife, you'll have something absolutely great to read for the weekend! Is this blog a resource or what?

NSFW: Artist's Wonderful Spoof of Modern Art Gets Her in Trouble
British artist and comedian Miriam Elia is in trouble with Penguin Books after publishing an explicit — but absolutely dead on and hilarious — spoof of modern art in the form of a Penguin's children's Ladybird book. Elia says Penguin's been kind about it and has tried to negotiate but has to keep its trademark rights. I do understand that and I'm not blaming them, but it's really too bad because the thing is great. It's called We Go To The Gallery, and has little Peter and Jane being taken to someplace like the Tate Gallery by Mummy to learn all about modern art and its vision of the world. Here are a couple of panels – as I say, Not Suitable For Work:

2 Reasons Why You Need to See The Arroyo
I made the argument in this space a while back that this well-made micro-budget modern western takes an important step in breaking the left's monopoly on our culture. No "mainstream" (i.e. leftist) filmmaker was going to tell this story — the story of a lone rancher who takes a stand against the sort of unbridled influx of illegals that's happening even as I write, and against the sort of government incompetence, wickedness and wrong-headedness that makes the influx possible. It required both economic wit and creative talent to make this movie happen.
Over at Truth Revolt, Ben Shapiro makes the argument that the film predicted the popular insurgency that just unseated Eric Cantor from his congressional leadership post:
"As the fallout continues from Rep. Eric Cantor's (R-VA) defeat in his primary at the hands of unknown economics professor David Brat over Cantor's support for immigration reform, Boreing's The Arroyo looks more timely than ever."
True enough. In any case, there are a lot of good reasons for you to take a look at this picture. For me, the two that come immediately to mind: it's entertaining and it tells the truth.

Haunting Melissa Wins Appy
Oh hey, this is really nice. Haunting Melissa, the unique serial ghost story movie told through an iOS app, has won the 2014 Appy Award for best entertainment app of last year. I wrote the script to the film based on a story by me and Neal Edelstein. Neal designed the app and directed the film. It's extremely cool stuff, very spooky. New installments pop up on your iOS device when the spirit moves them, so to speak, and you're alerted by creepy whispers. Watch the film with a headset to get the full effect.
Here's a trailer:
Got an iPhone or iPad? You can download the app here. It's free, though there's a cost for content as you go along. Not much though compared to a movie — and you get a lot more hours of entertainment.

3 Songs With Sweet Music And Stupid Words
I don't have a lot of pet peeves — why would I keep a peeve as a pet? But since this is supposed to be a cultural blog, I'll tell you a cultural phenomenon that really bugs me: songs with beautiful music that have crappy lyrics. Now remember those criteria… don't come back on me and say, "Hey, that song is lovely." I know it is. The music is. The music is lovely and catchy and lyrical… but that's exactly what makes the crummy lyrics so, so annoying.
Remember this one? Sometimes When We Touch by Dan Hill:
Really pretty tune but come on!
"Sometimes when we touch, the honesty's too much, and I have to close my eyes and hide. I want to hold you till I die, till we both break down and cry. I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides."
I mean, gag me with a spoon! Dan! Danster! Are you a dude or a chick? "I want to hold you… till we both break down and cry?" Bleagh! Does a huggy-wuggy make you weepy-deepy? "I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides…" I'm sorry, check me on this, ladies. If a guy actually said that to you would you 1) laugh in his face and dump him or 2) well, wait, there is no 2…
[My wife says I'd like the song if the sexes were reversed. You know: holding a tremulous girl until her fear subsides... kind of sexy. But this is exactly why I make my wife live in the basement. Or would, if I had a basement. If she's going to start expecting me to make sense, our marriage is doomed!]
Anyway, later in the song, there's this gender-non-specific stinker: "I'm just another writer, still trapped within his truth." Hey, listen, I have that problem too. Mostly, it's when a little piece of cloth gets stuck in the zipper. Just pull sharply.

How Can Writers Team Up to Create Innovative Fiction?
Okay, here's something off-beat — but then the weekend's coming and so's summer, so why not? Now and then, I sample some of the stuff that's being e-published directly. For the most part, I'm not liking it. I'm especially put off by the genuinely crummy grammar and spelling in a lot of this self-published stuff. I'd expect as much if I were sampling randomly, but I usually get books that have been recommended and I'm really dismayed by how poorly some of them are written.
There's some of that — poor grammar and the like — in Anecdotes in Ashes, but if you're a horror fan, it's still a pretty interesting read. It's micro-fiction: one- and two-paragraph long stories, written by a loose band of online writers who call themselves The Assembly. The whole anthology is only about sixty pages long, but then I picked it up for a buck so that's about right. It's also available in paperback for more.
Most of the stories: they're okay. A shock here and there but nothing memorable. But some of the stories in the first section of the book, "Encounters in The Dark," actually deliver a nice, creepy little thrill. I particularly liked one called "Hanging," by someone who goes by the handle Mucalling. It's three paragraphs long and tells of a website that shows live video of "a dark room, being filmed in black and white, and five people suspended hanging upside down from the ceiling."
There are other true creepers as well, enough to make this worth the price. It's an interesting experiment, and if you like scary stuff, I'd take a look.

Why You Should Give the Underrated Incredible Burt Wonderstone a Look
So the other day I was up late channel surfing, and I stumbled onto the The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, which I'd never seen. You remember this film: Steve Carell and Buscemi as two high school friends who become an old fashioned Siegfried and Roy-style team of Vegas magicians. They run into trouble when radical street magician Jim Carrey starts to steal their thunder. Olivia Wilde is the beautiful assistant who humanizes the arrogant Carell.
The film got mixed to harsh reviews and underperformed at the box office: both critics and humans rate it in the 30s on Rotten Tomatoes and it had one of the lowest openings of a film with Carell or Carrey.
And you know what? It's good! Not a great movie by any stretch. But it's charming, sweet-natured, entertaining and I laughed out loud — hard — three or four times. Which is approximately three or four times more than I laugh out loud at most film comedies. The scene with Buscemi bringing magic to the poor is wonderful.
Many of the reviews attacking the picture seemed grumpy about its mixed tone. As "The Brain Rapist," Carrey's over-the-top, self-mutilating magic is outrageous and occasionally hard to watch, whereas the story of Carell and Buscemi's friendship and Carell and Wilde's romance is more standard comedy fare. And yeah, that's true, but the mix works really well. In fact, it actually has something to say about the difference between "radical art," and actual entertainment… which is, I suspect, what got the highbrow critics so upset in the first place. It's really a rebuke to their slavish admiration of the off-beat.

Why Hollywood Won't Tell the Story of America's Worst Serial Killer
He was the worst serial killer in American history, but when he went on trial, the courtroom press section was all but empty. No Hollywood studio has stepped up to make the movie. Why? Because Dr. Kermit Gosnell was an abortionist, and facing the truth about his crimes means facing the truth about abortion itself.
My friends Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer are trying to tell the story. The two talented filmmakers have mounted the biggest ever crowd funding campaign, hoping to raise the $2.1 million they need. They are so close, but the days are dwindling down and they still need about $200,000 more or else everything they have so far will be lost.
They used Indiegogo because KickStarter kept refusing to host them — putting them off with a series of clearly bogus excuses. That's how much pressure there is to keep this story from being told, to keep the truth from being known.
Watch the video above, in which Ann struggles to read part of the grand jury report. It's not one of the grisly sections so you should be able to stand it — and you'll know why Ann had to fight to control her emotions in order to get through it. It's heartbreaking. No wonder the abortion industry wants this case buried in silence.
Hit the link. Chip in. This movie should be made.

And Speaking of Pedophiliac Sex Scandal Coverups…
If there were no God, the sex practices allegedly going on in Hollywood would be every bit as bad as what went on in the Catholic Church. Since there is a God, the church scandal is worse — it's much worse to rape a child while serving as a priest. But just to show that the church abuses aren't related to the theology, here's a video of my interview with Sun News' Brian Lilley on the similar charges against X-Men director Bryan Singer and three other Hollywood executives.
The money quote:
"If these [people accused of pedophilia] were conservatives, if these were priests, if they were religious people, this would be a huge story. But as it is, it's gonna get swept under the rug unless more people come forward.
See if it's not!

Brilliant overhead Golazo you won't have seen: Silvio Gonzalez (Santa Fe) v Patriotas
At the tender age of 33 you shouldn't be scoring acrobatic Golazos like this!
On Wednesday night, Santa Fe defeated Patriotas Boyaca 2-1 in Colombia's Primera A.
Silvio Augusto González (nickname Pulpo which means Octopus in Spanish) scored both goals and despite his veteran status has banged in the goals for tons of clubs across the globe.
Most famously for Cypriot side AEL Limassol as well as for Arsenal de Sarandi (during three different spells), Tigre and Olympiakos.
This overhead kick, at the age of 33, also demands us to type… Still got it!

The GovLab is an action research center seeking new ways to solve public problems using advances in technology and science. Our goal is to advance our understanding of how 21st century citizen engagement can make governance more effective and legitimate.
The GovLab's work is predicated on the following hypotheses:
- Institutions that govern themselves more collaboratively solve problems faster and with greater success; and
- Greater engagement leads to more legitimate democratic governance and also to better solutions for citizens.
Rather than working like a traditional academic research organization, the GovLab resembles a technology start up, rapidly evolving in response to research results, individual project needs or emergent trends. In all of its initiatives, the GovLab employs an "action research" approach. The GovLab develops practical designs for processes, technologies and institutional arrangements to support collaborative democracy; puts these designs into practice; studies the outcomes to advance our understanding; and uses that understanding to design the next projects. The organization produces scholarly research and maps real-world developments to create a robust understanding of how scientific and technological advances can improve 21st-century governance. A focus on real-world impacts and evidence-based decisionmaking defines the GovLab approach and ensures that its actions are legitimate and credible.
The GovLab has four major lines of activities that are responsible for its research, communication and teaching and training functions. The GovLab's work encompasses:
- Research Network: Develops and uses an interdisciplinary network, holds convenings to deepen the research agenda and refines our understanding of new governance models.
- Living Labs: Partners with real-world institutions to conduct action-research experiments to test what works in practice and measure impact.
- Observatory: Shares what we and others ahve learned from both empirical work and theoretical reflection across disciplines.
- Academy: Serves as a free online community for those interested in teaching and learning about collaborative strategies to solve public problems.

Drought Recovery
As much of the South Island struggles with flooding, New Zealand's worst drought-hit farms are only just getting back in the green with many now wary of forecast snow.
A short covering of grass has returned to the big central North Island sheep and cattle stations, courtesy of an unusually mild start to winter.
Farmers' cautious stock management has also played a part, according to Taumarunui consultant Geoff Burton who said the region had finally had enough rain, with 40-50 millimetres falling so far this week and topping off dams.
"It's been wonderfully warm as well," he said.
However, farm finances had taken a big hit.
Burton calculated the drought had drained an average of $50,000 from each of the central North Island's 600 hill country farms.
On the big stations that would be worse, after many reduced capital stock by 10 per cent to 27 per cent and had spent up to $15 a stock unit on buying supplementary feed for the animals they kept.
"When you consider that their profit in a normal year is $20 a stock unit and some have half a million stock units that's got to hurt," Burton said.
Steve Ponsonby, who manages Kelly Land Co near Taihape, said the rain was welcome but grass was still short and he was still feeding maize to his ewes.
"We haven't had the growth they got in the country lower down - we've had bugger all growth," he said.
He said winter was going to be a "hell of a battle".
"If we get this snow that's coming up the country it's going to be pretty ugly," he said.
Burton said farmers had managed the drought well, allowing for more flexibility in stocking decisions, and banks had been supportive.
The big stations in the North Island snow country were run by "wonderfully resilient people". He had noticed an air of optimism returning to sheep farming in the central region, with farm sales moving again and at slightly higher prices.

It's a really interesting matchup to be honest.
I picked Abraham to win it based on the sole fact that Dirrell can't hurt Abraham. Taylor basically had free shots at AA all night in the first two thirds of their fight but couldn't find a way to break his guard.
Then again, AA never fought someone as quick as Dirrell and with his style.
If Dirrell could manage to lose a close decision to a bum like Froch, I don't think he could pull one out against a smarter and technically superior fighter like AA.

Looks like the kid is gonna run for his life this time considering the creepy punch power of AA. Only difference this time, AA is technically skilled as opposed to Froch, and he can use his "cut the ring" skills to make this a miserable night for the "marathon runner"

It is an interesting matchup, I think Dirrell has what it takes to give King Arthur a ton of issues. King Arthur should be the favorite but no one should be sleeping on Dirrell as he would be a very live dog.

Also people act like knocking out Dirrell is an easy task, he has been down but lots of fighters go down early then are fine (Tito, Calzaghe). Dirrell is not really the type of fighter that someone should go in looking for a knockout against as he will most likely make them look foolish.
King Arthur does have a lot of power but taking out Dirrell is a very tall order.

AA because he has a defence unlike Froch and will walk through his supposed effective clean punches.
AA by TKO hopefully, unless Dirrell goes in and jabs him 3 times cleanly and then clinches for 80% of the fight, and people say, "Well he landed the more cleaner effective punches", ya no **** when you can't really punch when the guy is blatantly holding on to you.

Dirrell has the speed and lateral movement, but I still doubt his chin and his toughness. He ain't busy enough either. Double-A will catch him waiting with something eventually, and put him out. Part of me hopes I'm wrong, cuz I still got hopes for Dirrell, but that's how I see it.
Abraham by KO.

22 nations, 42 ships, 6 submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel will participate in the biennial Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise off Hawaii next month
The world's largest international maritime exercise, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity that helps participants foster and sustain the cooperative relationships that are critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world's oceans. RIMPAC 2012 is the 23rd exercise in the series that began in 1971.
RIMPAC 2012 will feature the first demonstration of a U.S. Navy "Great Green Fleet," during which U.S. surface combatants and carrier-based aircraft will test, evaluate and demonstrate the cross-platform utility and functionality of biofuels. This demonstration will also incorporate prototype energy efficiency initiatives such as solid state lighting, on-line gas turbine waterwash and energy management tools.
Hosted by U.S. Pacific Fleet, and led by Vice Adm. Gerald Beaman, commander of the U.S. Third Fleet (C3F), RIMPAC 2012 marks the first time non-U.S. officers will command components of the combined task force during the exercise. Commodore Stuart Mayer of the Royal Australian Navy will command the Maritime Component and Brig. Gen. Michael Hood of the Royal Canadian Air Force will command the Air Component. Other key leaders of the multinational force include Royal Canadian Navy Rear Adm. Ron Lloyd, deputy commander of the Combined Task Force (CTF), and Japan Maritime Self Defense Force Rear Adm. Fumiyuki Kitagawa, vice commander of the CTF.
This year's exercise includes units or personnel from Australia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, France, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Peru, the Republic of Korea, the Republic of the Philippines, Russia, Singapore, Thailand, Tonga, the United Kingdom and the United States.
