Cassidy Freeman on "Longmire" and what we didn't see on "The Playboy Club"
AE: Wonderful. I was also reading online that some people thought there were some lesbian undertones for your character on Smallville. I was wondering if you ever saw that or if you think people just like to read into subtext?
CF: [Laughs] Yes, I think people do like to read into subtext. I also think that Tess Mercer was a really special character. I don't think that she was a lesbian but I definitely think she could be that girl who would kiss another girl at a party.
AE: Yeah.
CF: You know, to shock someone. I think she was really open and free in that way and just super-sexual. I mean, they set it up in this way where I had a lot of scenes with Erica and I'd be, like, fingering her French maid costume.
Photo from Smallville
AE: Right.
CF:I'd be like "You get what this looks like, right? I mean, you're not idiots."
AE: [Laughs] Right, right.
CF: And they'd be like, "Yeah, no, no, no, it's good." I think they may have painted a few undertones but I don't think that was really meant to be a storyline.
AE: Do you identify with any of your characters more than another one?
CF: I have to identify with all of them or I can't play them. I think Cady Longmire I definitely identify with and I think it's easier because she's the most natural character I've played to date. Depending on the character I might have to dig deep to find their normalism and humanism and the things that I can relate to. Like with The Vampire Diaries or with The Playboy Club — well, actually, The Playboy Club was actually pretty natura,l too. But Cady Longmire is pretty natural and I don't have to dig that deep to find the things I relate to. I grew up in Montana half the time and I'm very connected to that part of the world and I love my dad. And I know what it's like to want something bigger than you have so all those things made her super relatable to me.
Photo from A&E
AE: Cool. I also saw that you attended the series finale party of The L Word. Were you a fan of the show?
CF: I was a fan of that show. I loved that show, I thought it was a lot of fun. I actually got on the bandwagon late and then ended up watching a lot of it on dvd but I loved that show. I just thought it would be a really cool party to go to.
Photo from Getty
AE: Definitely. And on our site every year our readers vote on the hottest 100 women and I was just wondering if there was someone you could nominate like a celebrity or woman you love would you say is the hottest woman.
CF: A celebrity?
AE: Yes.
CF: I'm like, "My mom!" No, I'm only kidding.
AE: [Laughs]
CF: A hot celebrity — I've got to say i've always had it out for Maggie Gyllenhaal. I just think she's sexy as hell. I think she's different looking and I think she's f–king awesome! [Laughs]
AE: Yeah!
CF: I actually have a picture of her that I've had for about eight years that I pulled out of a magazine because I love the picture so much and I put it in my work folder. I have this sort of clear folder that has my headshots and resumes and audition work and whatever and her picture is on the back side of it facing out because I just think she's so strong.
AE: She is. I've always loved her since Secretary. That was my favorite movie back in the day. I used to love her in that.
CF: Yeah, that was a great movie.
AE: Anything you can tease about Longmire to keep people tuned in and watching?
CF: There is a really big secret that is revealed at the end of the series and you don't have to wait that long because there are only 10 episodes. So there is a big reveal at the end and you know, little personal reveals as we go along with my relationship and Katee Sackhoff's — Vic's — relationship and all that stuff so, definitely gets more personal as the show goes on.
Longmire airs Sunday nights at 10/9 central on A&E. You can watch episodes online at aetv.com.

Fahrenheit: The exciting review
Firstly the only difference between the North American Indigo Prophecy and Fahrenheit is the title (apparently the North American market was deemed too stupid not to confuse the game with the Michael Moore documentary, Fahrenheit 9/11, which is, quite frankly ridiculous).
If you are the type of person that likes mindless shoot-em up arcade style games, such as Black, Fahrenheit is probably not for you. It is an intelligent action/adventure puzzle game, with a cinematic twist (referred to by developers Quantic Dream as an "interactive movie").
Fahrenheit is the story of IT technician Lucas Kane, who, after going to the bathroom in a New York diner, finds himself standing over a gruesome murder scene with the bloody knife in his hands. The player is given the choice of how much, or little to clean up the murder scene. Every interaction mirrors the movement of the character, for example when mopping up the blood on the floor the player must move the right thumb-stick from side to side. The player must make decisions for Lucas and how he will deal with his conscience, as well as covering up his crime to prevent him from getting arrested.
Parallel to the story of Lucas is the investigation of the murder by detectives Carla Valenti, who is very serious and married to her job, and Tyler Miles, much more easy-going and fun-loving than Carla. Decisions made while playing as Lucas directly affect the Carla/Tyler storyline; depending on how well Lucas has covered up the murder in the diner Carla and Tyler's job can become much simpler, or more difficult.
The gameplay focuses almost entirely on the thumb-sticks, and almost entirely ignores the face buttons. According to designer David Cage thumb-stick prevalence was intended to increase immersion and make the player feel more like they actually performing the action, rather than just commanding a character. It achieves this effectively.
Fahrenheit also features scripted action set-pieces which rely on reflexes. Diagrams representing the thumb-sticks are super-imposed over the action. Using different colours these diagrams demonstrate sequences of control inputs, which the player must imitate to survive the scene. Each character has a Mental Health Meter which represents the mental state of the characters; different actions drain or fill this bar depending the consequences and how the character responds to them. If the meter reaches empty (Wrecked) it spells game over: Lucas either kills himself or turns himself in and Tyler and Carla will turn in their badges.
Stylistically the game is very cinematic featuring a large amount of motion-capture animation to realistically portray the action. It also employs the use of split screen shots, of a similar ilk to the thriller genre, in particular 24.
Without wanting to give anything away, I will say that that by the final third of Fahrenheit the plot starts to move very fast and somewhat incoherently, making it a little difficult to understand what has happened by the time you reach one of the three endings.
Despite the confusing nature of the plot towards the end of the game Fahrenheit still features innovative gameplay, is very visually interesting and has an interesting and gripping, if somewhat confusing, plot. It is easily worth the 800 MP you would spend downloading to your 360, in fact I thought it was well worth the £35 I spent on it when it first came out for the Xbox.

Ever thought about making your own dance film? Think you might be the next Wim Wenders? The Dance Films Association is seeking submissions for its second annual Capturing Motion NYC contest, open to New York City high school students. According to the application guidelines, your one- to five-minute film "should address the relationship between dance and the camera, linking the two in imaginative ways. Films can be documentary, narrative or art films."
Looking for inspiration? Whether you're a rookie filmmaker or have some experience behind the camera, you might glean some ideas at the Dance Film Lab holiday party, Dec. 18 at Dance New Amsterdam. The evening features a screening of short works by Marta Renzi, Victor Lazaro, Auri Jackson, Alexandra Pinel, and Christy O'Harris (curated by Moviehouse), followed by some refreshments and classic holiday movie clips. To hear from six pros making dances for screens large and small, check out our story from last April, "When the Camera is Your Partner."
Selected Capturing Motion NYC films will be shown at the Dance on Camera Festival in February; the winning selection gets a special screening at Lincoln Center. The deadline to apply is January 4. Find out more (and watch last year's first-place film) here.

November 26, 2014
When the metaphorical gavel finally came down, the Illinois Supreme Court issued this stunning verdict: the Cook County Circuit Court needs to go to reform school.
The state's top court on Friday found so many things wrong with the local courts, including a huge backlog of detainees waiting for their trials, that it issued 40 recommendations. And don't be fooled by the benign word "recommendations." For the Supreme Court to step in and say Cook County is not administering its courts properly is very unusual indeed. By no stretch of imagination was this report a vote of confidence.
Cook County Chief Judge Timothy Evans issued a statement that he was "gratified" by the report. We hope that doesn't mean Evans — widely seen as a go-along guy who is averse to telling lackadaisical judges to do their jobs — thinks this report is something that can quietly be pushed aside. The courts system desperately needs a change, and this report should be the hammer to make that happen.
The Supreme Court-ordered audit by the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts zeroed in on the job of pretrial services, which is supposed to provide background information that judges can use to decide which suspects need to be locked up and which can be safely released while awaiting trial. Effective pretrial services can reduce jail overcrowding and recidivism. But the audit found that judges believe they can't rely on the information they get from pre-trial services. That's a stunning conclusion.
The statistics in the County Jail also are stunning. As of March 18, 1,345 people had been in for one to two years; 503 for two to three years; 187 for three to four years, and 142 for four to nine years. The average length of stay rose from 49 days to 57 from 2007 to 2012. People sit in jail just because they are poor and can't make bail while others charged with more serious crimes are freed because they have the cash. It's not just the courts; what the state's attorney and police do also play a role. But these numbers are going in the wrong direction.
As he has when other complaints have been raised about the courts, Evans trotted out his usual defense that the court system's problems can be traced to budget cuts. He's right that his budget has been cut, but he's wrong to use that lame excuse. Judge Evans can still do much to fix problems he's long ignored. Many of the audit's recommendations wouldn't cost anything to implement.
The system has many fine judges who are working hard, but it also has judges who aren't. The lights go off in too many courtrooms shortly after lunch. Especially when good golf weather comes around. In one inexcusable case, a judge waited five years after a civil trial was fully completed to arrive at a decision.
Evans seems to think there's not much he can do about those things because full judges are independently elected. Nonsense. Be a real "chief judge" or step down.
We've seen too much fighting over turf among the county's elected leaders. Evans and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, who in September asked the Supreme Court to step in, have been political rivals since the 1980s and '90s, when Preckwinkle repeatedly challenged Evans for his 4th Ward City Council seat before finally beating him. Preckwinkle has had public disagreements over Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart's and Evans' budgets. And Evans and Dart have publicly sparred over the County Jail's electronic monitoring program.
Any court system as large as Cook County's — one of the largest unified court systems in the world — is going to have problems. But the Cook County courts have managed to snarl themselves in inefficiency to a remarkable degree. The Supreme Court audit is a signal that it's time to change.

- Social Media
- Active Citizenship
- Good Giving
- Corporate Responsibility
- Be Fearless
When I started my graduate studies, the word "philanthropy" appeared often. Through textbooks I learned the traditional definition of philanthropy: Love of humankind in the form of time, talent and treasure.
This high-level concept has seen the world through decades of philanthropic actions, as people and corporations donate money and volunteer time through a desire to 'do good.' We call these actions philanthropy and they usually generate good feelings, great PR and tax deductions.
Over the past decade, as I've consulted philanthropic organizations and foundations, I've seen the philanthropy landscape grow and change, cultivated largely by the generation of consumers and givers we call Millennials. We've spent the past few years researching Millennials in a project called the Millennial Impact, a comprehensive look at how this generation (ages 20 to 30) connects, gets involved with and supports causes.
Through our research, we learned that Millennials exercise philanthropy in the same ways as other generations, though their motivations may be different. The top three factors that motivate Millennials to get involved in a cause are passion, meeting people and enhancing their expertise. They do indeed practice giving their time, talent and treasure, but Millennials want to lend their knowledge, expertise and time to help nonprofits. Actually, 48 percent of Millennials say they prefer using their background experience or skills to volunteer for a nonprofit. And this generation gives. Our research shows that 83 percent of Millennials made some form of financial gift to an organization in 2012.
If the traditional definition of philanthropy still holds true today, are there additional items beyond time, talent and treasure that measure philanthropic action?
There are some obvious benefits to this definition that attribute to its survival. For example, it's a nice bucket that we might categorically drop things into. In some ways, everything a company or individual does to benefit a cause could fit into this definition and slide under at least one of the time, talent or treasure criteria.
Why not be more specific? The traditional definition doesn't leave room for new actions that Millennials view as philanthropy. As technology and the way we conduct business evolve, so too does our means of giving financially--as well as the way we donate our non-financial assets like time and relationships.
It is the next generation of givers and volunteers, the Millennials, who are ushering in this new age of philanthropy. Because of this, we need to think about a new definition, or rather an appendage to the existing definition of philanthropy, which reflects new criteria and includes the following:
- Time – Volunteering hours, days of service, etc.
- Talent – Using one's expertise to benefit a cause
- Treasure – Financial contributions (big or small) donated for charitable work
- Voice – Time spent advocating and educating others about your cause
- Network – Leveraging personal and professional relationships or online followings to benefit a cause
The first three are self-explanatory. Time, talent and treasure stem from the traditional facets of philanthropy and still carry tremendous potential for making an impact. The latter two criteria, voice and network, warrant a bit more explanation. Voice and network are add-ons to the traditional definition of philanthropy, yet they are extremely important to your Millennial employees and constituents. The power of voice remains vital and Millennials admire giving or donating one's voice as a tangible form of philanthropy. Voice involves aligning yourself with a cause or issue and advocating as an unofficial (or official) spokesperson. You're literally educating others about a cause. A person who gives their voice might still give their skill, time and money, but they go beyond these endeavors to get others involved.
A few months ago, I met a young woman who is a strong advocate for ALS research. ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, affected her father and she's become a passionate voice for causes like the ALS Association, which seeks a cure and supports ALS research. She brought this passion to work, encouraging her co-workers to support the ALS Association. Her co-workers rallied together and now participate in the Walk to Defeat ALS® every year as a company event. She's a perfect example of how Millennials use voice and advocacy as a philanthropic means to support a cause.
Network differs from voice. Network involves capitalizing on your vast bank of personal or professional relationships to expose other people to a cause. There are obvious similarities to voice, but offering your network to a cause means advocating on a much larger scale, and your message has potential to spread to thousands of people. Think of your own network. How many followers do you have on Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn? For non-techy individuals, think about the number of contacts in your address book. Millennials understand the potential social networks have for disseminating a simple cause message or a link to a website. Sharing your network with a cause is a limitless philanthropic action that can go unrecognized.
Last year TIME Magazine created a post that allowed users to estimate how much their Twitter feed is actually worth. TIME created a formula that measures the "value" of your individual Twitter feed. They take your number of Tweets divided by the number of days you've been on Twitter, multiplied by your amount of followers, multiplied by 25% (the number of followers actually paying attention), and then multiplied by 12.45 cents (what each "eyeball" is worth). That final number is supposed to represent the value of your Twitter account.
According to this formula, my Twitter account (@derrickfeldmann) is worth $287.
It might seem like a significant bonus until you consider Taylor Swift's Twitter account (@TaylorSwift13) is technically worth about $1,330,503.
The point: Your individual social network has value. When someone like Swift, with close to 39 million followers, Tweets about a cause, it influences and resonates with some individuals. We don't all have Swift's following, but you shouldn't underestimate the power of your network. It exists online, in social networks, in your relationships and throughout your company. When you give your network to a cause, you're being philanthropic.
Some may scoff at network as a shallow form of philanthropy, but for many cause advocates it's the only the only way they can help a cause. Considering 75 percent of Millennials say they share content on social media, network carries incredible influence and potential if you're able to recognize it. Most organizations already use network on a less digital scale. You strategically form your advisory board to appoint community and business leaders who are well connected. You do this so that they will have a more vested interest in the organization and their network can benefit your cause. Network is philanthropy in a way that Millennials respect and use.
Millennials treat all five as equals – time, talent, treasure, voice and network. They're all available to give, and when given out of "love for humankind," as the traditional definition suggests, make philanthropy something the world, our communities and our neighbors need now more than ever. Look to the next generation of philanthropists to lead the way.
Derrick Feldmann is the President of Achieve - the creative research agency behind The Millennial Impact Project to understand how Millennials connect, involve, and give to causes. He is the coauthor of Cause for Change: The Why and How of Nonprofit Millennial Engagement published by Jossey Bass, a Wiley Imprint.

Passing the torch of the conscience-free shooterPosted: August 26, 2014 Filed under: Guards, SEC, Shooting, Three-pointers, WCC | Tags: college basketball, florida gators, njit, san diego, three-pointers, VMI Leave a comment
Much like our last post, this one came from a thought about Marshall Henderson. He was (depending on who you cheered for) fun to watch in all his jersey-popping, landshark-throwing glory. But for some, it was really just because he had coach Andy Kennedy's blessing to shoot from wherever, whenever. It's a lost gift, really. In these the days of ball-control and efficiency stats, every possession matters, which makes a player who has the ability to chuck it from a different area code a treasure to behold. Like Clear Pepsi or a late 1990s Master P CD.
He wasn't the only one. Ethan Wragge is done at Creighton, a guy who took 242 shots last season, and 234 were threes.
So I went digging. I started with some of the top players in terms of three-point attempts in NCAA Division I basketball. Then I went further, seeing what their teams look like to see if they could continue their pace of jacking threes like the line was being banned tomorrow.
Here's who I think could make you sit and watch a game just to watch them hoist threes all night.
Michael Frazier II, Jr., Florida (264 of 343 shots were 3's in 13-14) - Let's get the obvious one out of the way. Frazier is one of the best — possibly the best — big-name shooter in the country and he had a breakout season as the Gators reached the Final Four last year. The 6-4 guard was 118-for-264 (44.6 percent), averaged 12.4 ppg and hit big shots when they mattered — he shot 48 percent in the NCAA Tournament and SEC Tournament combined. With Kasey Hill and Eli Carter in to assume point guard duties after Scottie Wilbekin exhausted his eligibility, Billy Donovan will have to give him the green light based on the fact that, well, you don't leave a stallion locked in the barn.
Prediction – Over 130 makes and 290 attempts, keeping him at around his normal 44 percent for the year.
Q.J. Peterson, Soph., VMI (244 of 549 shots were 3's) – When you're in the right system, everything will come together. For Peterson, he plays for a Keydets team that, as most know, love to get up-and-down the court. As a freshman, Peterson, a 6-foot guard, had no conscience, shooting 244 threes with 78 makes (31.9 percent). That's a pretty awful percentage, but it's what comes with the territory when your coaches make line changes for substitutions and average a Division I-leading 88.3 ppg as a team. Peterson averaged 19 ppg, but he basically got the greatest situation for a shooter short of Marshall Henderson at Ole Miss.
Prediction – 110 makes with over 310 attempts, which will improve Peterson's percentage to around 35 percent.
Johnny Dee, Sr., San Diego (225 of 425 shots were 3's) – This season it should be more of the same for Dee, who hit 94-of-225 (41.7 percent) threes last season. Two of the other top three scorers return for the Toreros in Christopher Anderson and Duda Sanadze return, which will keep the offense relatively the same. The 6-footer has been one of the more consistent shooters his whole career, averaging around three three-point makes and 6.5 attempts to this point. The Toreros also have eight freshman or sophomores on the team this year, so he's going to be asked to maintain leadership on the court.
Prediction – Around 100 makes with 230 attempts, which should keep him around his current averages. Dee can also get to the rim, which is evident with his free throw-percentage hovering around 90 percent for his career and averages of around six trips to the line per game.
Damon Lynn Soph., NJIT (282 of 405 shots were 3's) – Lynn led the Highlanders with 17.2 ppg and hit 37.9 percent from three-point range, which was actually better than the 37.3 clip he hit at overall. The 5-11 guard was easily NJIT's hottest scorer (Terrence Smith was second at 12.2 ppg and after that no teammates were in double-figures) and with some improvements from the rest of the roster, Lynn could be have the freedom to score. For Lynn, a unchanged situation puts him in the perfect one.
Prediction – Until NJIT finds a conference, guys like Lynn should get the nod to score at will. I'd expect his ppg to climb, but his three-point percentage to drop. Around 90 makes and 250 attempts.

The new villains of college basketball for 2014-15Posted: August 13, 2014 Filed under: Big 12, Centers, College Basketball, Forwards, Guards, Mountain West, SEC, WCC | Tags: BYU, Gonzaga, Harvard, kansas state, Kentucky, UConn, Wichita State, Wildcats 4 Comments
The differences in Aaron Craft and Marshall Henderson were astounding, really.
When you think about it, the 2013-14 basketball season, in part, was a study of how two men can be seen as "evil" to different people on totally different ends of the spectrum. Craft was, by all accounts, clean-cut, nice and did all the right things. Though he was still hated as if he somehow victimized an entire student section.
Then you had Marshall Henderson, who was 180-degrees in the other direction. The history with drugs. The arrests. The four schools in five collegiate seasons. Not to mention all the trashing-talking, jersey popping and general anger he incited….and that was just against Auburn.
They were the villains of the 2013-14 season (the last two seasons, really). But those two were seniors and have exhausted their eligibility.
So now we search for the next batch of possible prospects who are ready to cause fans to be ejected, security to be beefed up around the visiting bench and boosters' wives to leave games early.
One caveat: No Duke players. Because, for the love of God, that's just too easy. And y'all are better than that.
Ryan Boatright, Sr., G, UConn – The Mouth – There aren't many great players going into 2014-15 that are known for their trash talk, but Boatright is one of them. He's a smaller, talkative point guard who loves to get the the basket (12.1 ppg. 3.4 apg) and isn't afraid to let you know that his game is up there with the best. He's got a mouth to match his talent and I'd bet your life that we see it on a national stage.
Ron Baker, r-Jr., G, Wichita State - The Gun – Ron Baker has a well-rounded game (13.1 ppg, 3.8 rpg, 3.1 apg, 1.4 spg) , but he's known for his range more than anything. He'll piss off a fanbase from deep nightly (38 percent from 3-point range last year) and he'll do it quietly, which added another dimension to how he'll drive opposing fans crazy.
Aaron Harrison, Soph., G, Kentucky – Mr. Big Shot – Despite the insane amount of talent that recently descended upon Lexington, there's no way student sections around the SEC forgot about Harrison's big shot tour of March 2014. Louisville, Michigan and Wisconsin fans sure as hell won't. Every time the game is in the balance late, you can bet no. 2 will get more flak than his brother or the freshman phenoms for the Wildcats. And he and his 13.7 ppg will probably get the same attention from opposing defenses.
Kevin Pangos, Sr., G, Gonzaga - The Tradition – Pangos carries on a long, proud legacy for the Zags: Shorter, white point guards who somehow get to the rim with ease. John Stockton, Matt Santangelo, Dan Dickau, Derek Raivio, now Pangos. He's already the most hated man in the West Coast Conference and, while he's had some attention on a national stage, it should increase this season as a senior, where he should improve on his 14.4-point, 3.3-rebound, 3.6-assist per game averages. If anything, Pangos is already hated at Wazzu.
Siyani Chambers, Jr., G, Harvard and Wesley Saunders, Sr., G, Harvard – The Nerds -It's the smart kid syndrome. Despite the Crimson having one of the better mid-major programs in the past five years under Tommy Amaker, the average fan at a college basketball game is going to prey on the fact that they go to a smart-kid school (which is a compliment, but you get the idea). Chambers (11.1 ppg, 4.6 apg) and Saunders (14.2 ppg, 4.6 rpg) have arguably the most talented mid-major backcourt in the land — rivaling Ryan Harrow and R.J. Hunter of Georgia State — and they'll hear all about how they don't belong all season.
Tyler Haws, Sr., G, BYU – The Jimmer Effect – I know, I know. It's an easy play. But sometime you have to point out the obvious. He's a white guard at BYU who gets all of the buckets — 23.2 ppg on 46.3 percent shooting, 40.4 percent from 3. He's going to be the focal point of the Cougars attack and their opponents' defensive strategy. And you can bet that he'll be at the center of every student sections disparaging chants (though a lot of sections are slacking. Seriously, what's wrong with you people? Get creative.)
Marcus Foster, Soph,, G, Kansas State – The Most Known Unknown – You're welcome for the 3 6 Mafia drop. Foster had very few offers coming out of high school and he made the most of his Kansas State one. He averaged 15.5 points last season and with Oklahoma State losing so much and Texas bringing back a ton of good-but-not-marquee players, there needs to be a star in the Big 12 OUTSIDE of Lawrence, Kansas (though he'll have to fight Georges Niang.) Foster could definitely be it for Bruce Weber's team. He's already probably made many enemie in Spokane.

Who are the most underrated national champs of all-time?Posted: July 23, 2014 Filed under: NCAA Tournament, ACC, Big East | Tags: ACC, Big Ten, college basketball, Rick Pitino, Missouri Valley Conference, Big East Great Midwest, Jim Harrick, Norm Sloan, Al McGuire, Kentucky Wildcats, David Thompson 1 Comment
Everyone remembers the champs. From the first NCAA champions in Oregon in 1939 to last year's UConn team, hoopheads can tell you who won.
Problem is, some are more remembered than others in history. The 1951 Kentucky squad coined the Fabulous Five. The UCLA teams of the early 1970s were arguably the most dominant of their era. Right after, the 1976 Indiana team still remains the last undefeated champion in Division I college basketball.
In between the ones that are always brought up, there are the champs that don't come to mind. At least not at first, anyway.
So who are they? TBBC looks into who are the most underrated champions all-time and why.
Record – 35-5
Coach – Jerry Tarkanian
What everyone remembers – That four of their starting five would eventually be drafted into the NBA. The team that was hounded by the NCAA arguably more than any program in college basketball history — with reason — had horses with the centerpiece of forward Larry Johnson (in his first season of Division I ball out of Odessa College), veteran point guard Greg Anthony, reliable forward Stacey Augmon, do-it-all utility man George Ackles and sharpshooter Anderson Hunt, who was the Big West Player of the Year as a sophomore, prior to Johnson's arrival on campus.
The Runnin' Rebels (you can't leave off the 'runnin") demolished Duke in the largest margin of victory in NCAA Championship Game history, 103-73. Prompting the memorable "chair lean" from Tark.
What everyone doesn't remember – This team played rough, but they also scored in bunches . The Runnin' Rebels eclipsed 100 points in 15 games and scored 90-plus in another eight. And after dropping a 107-105 decision to LSU on Jan. 27, UNLV finished the season winning 22 of their final 23 games, with a 78-70 loss to UC-Santa Barbara on Feb. 25 the only blemish. They dominated opponents, winning by an average of 15 points per game.
Why are they underrated? – They're a victim of their own doing. Despite the run UNLV had, everyone remembers the 1990-91 UNLV team that ran over everyone on their way to an undefeated regular season and a loss to the same Duke team in the national semifinals a year later. That dominant run — followed by an epic collapse — made that squad more memorable than the team that won it all.
Record - 31-1
Coach – Jim Herrick
What everyone remembers – The return to prominence for one of the more storied college basketball programs in history and brought the program its first NCAA title since the legendary coach John Wooden got his last in 1975.
Oh, and those two words that weren't in Mizzou's vocabulary: STOP BALL.
What everyone doesn't remember – Despite the record, the Bruins had a rough start to conference play….they lost their Pac-10 opener to Oregon 82-72. They were arguably one of the dullest (I mean that with love) champions of the 90s, but one of the best single-game performances came at the hands of Ed O'Bannon with 30 points and 17 rebounds in the national title game, an 89-78 win over Arkansas.
And their schedule wasn't easy, with seven regular season games against Top 25 teams and five of their six games in the NCAA Tournament as well — which is impressive in the 64-team field.
Why are they underrated? – Most teams that won it all in the 90s had some sort of future-pro star power. This one simply didn't. Herrick took a cast of talented players, none of which would have much of a career in the NBA, to the title. Tyus Edney's staggered four seasons in the league were the most of any Bruin from this team.
1973-74 North Carolina State
Record – 30-1
Coach – Norm Sloan
What everyone remembers – The Wolfpack will always be known as the team that interrupted The Dynasty of the John Wooden-coached UCLA teams of the late '60s and early '70s. They upset the Bruins 80-77 in their national semifinal contest and took out Marquette in the national title game. David Thompson was the NCAA Tournament's Most Outstanding Player along with earning his first of two national player of the year awards.
What everyone doesn't remember- Before their Final Four win over UCLA, for the most part, N.C. State stayed at no. 2 in the nation behind UCLA. The Bruins made sure that they stayed there with an 84-66 beat down of the Wolfpack early in the season.
In fact, N.C. State was thisclose to not even making the NCAA Tournament, needing overtime to beat no.3 Maryland 103-100 in the finals of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament. The NCAA tournament only took 25 teams that season, and only began to include at-large teams in 1975.
Why are they underrated? – They get lost, like most teams of the 1960s and early 1970s, in the shuffle of the UCLA juggernaut. Thompson was far-and-away the star, but N.C. State also had 7-4 center Tom Burleson's 18 points and 11.7 boards per game and 5-7 point guard Monte Towe was one of the best floor generals in the game at a time when assists weren't seen in the same light as they are now.
1997-98 Kentucky
Record - 35-4
Coach – Tubby Smith
What everyone remembers – Ask anybody who knows that team, they first thing you'll normally hear out of their mouths is "it was Rick Pitino's team." Pitino left after reaching his second straight NCAA Final in 1997, taking the Boston Celtics head job, and as a result, Smith inherited a gold mine. Aside from that, the team was the third straight Wildcat squad to make it to the Final Four, cementing itself as the team of the 1990s (Getting thrashed by UNLV gives UK the edge here, Duke fans….)
….And so does this:
What everyone doesn't remember – Despite the "Tubby just had to roll the balls out in practice" schtick, this was a team full of players that just knew their role. The Wildcats took an early-season loss to the team that beat them in the 1997 NCAA Final, Arizona. The roster also featured four first round picks in Jamaal Magloire, Nazr Muhammed, Scott Padgett and Michael Bradley (though Bradley would transfer to Villanova after the 1998-99 season.
The team was as balanced as any in its era, with Jeff Sheppard the team's leading scorer at 13.7 points per game. In fact, only 4.9 points separated Sheppard and the team's sixth-leading scorer, Heshimu Evans (8.8 ppg). Four players also averaged at least four rebound per game — the most was Mohammed's 7.2.
Why are they underrated? - They were at the tail end of a dynasty that the original architect didn't finish. Everyone remembers the 1996 team as one of the most dominant teams of the era, and that hurts when remembering the best teams of the 90s. But when looking at the numbers, the '97-'98 team holds their own. The Wildcats won all three of their Southeastern Conference tournament games by double-digits, including a 99-74 drubbing of no. 16 Arkansas in the semifinals and an 86-56 pasting of no. 15 South Carolina in the finals. Impressive considering their strength of schedule was 9th in the nation.
1976-77 Marquette
Record – 25-7
What everyone remembers – Al McGuire in his awesome suits were retiring at the end of the Warriors' (as they were known until 1994) season. Butch Lee hitting spinning lay-up after spinning lay-up. Lee, the Most Outstanding Player of that tournament, headlined that team, which played in one of the more amazing endings to a Final Four game in history against UNC-Charlotte (more on that below).
What everyone doesn't remember – ….And it's incredible really. Jerome Whitehead pulls in the three quarter-court pass from Lee with three seconds to go just inside the free throw line, turns, one dribble, and stuffs it home for a 51-49 win over the 49ers and a trip to the title game against North Carolina.
It also wasn't an easy road for the Warriors, who were in their second Final Four in four years. They played no. 11 Cincinnati in the first round, Kansas State in the second, then no. 9 Wake Forest in the Elite Eight, UNC-Charlotte — no. 17 at the time — in the semifinals, then finished with no. 5 North Carolina in the title game.
Also, a soon-to-be prominent coach named Rick Majerus (R.I.P.) was an assistant on that team.
Why are they underrated? – It's a team that, like N.C. State, gets lost in the shuffle of the 1970s. They weren't necessarily spectacular, but they averaged 70 points per game without a three-point line and had two Top 20 NBA Draft picks in Lee and Bo Ellis on the roster. They also didn't finish all that high in the polls, ranking between no. 6 and no. 15 for most of the year.
It was one of the more impressive stories in college basketball history, with the small, Jesuit school in Milwaukee sending their retiring coach out as the ultimate winner. It's stuff that sports movies are made out of.

The best Father/Son package deals in college basketball historyPosted: July 17, 2014 Filed under: Big 12, Centers, Forwards, SEC, Uncategorized Leave a comment
College recruiting is a giant gray area. There are a number of ways to lock up recruits that aren't wrong and don't break any rules. Their only crime is being obvious.
One of those ways is a prominent college coach hiring the parent of a prominent prep player to, eventually, earn a signature on a National Letter of Intent.
It (officially) happened on Wednesday with Memphis coach Josh Pastner's hiring of Keelon Lawson as his third assistant. It's no surprise the at a successful Memphis-area coach (Lawson was the head man at Hamilton High School and has won a state title for the school) could and would get an assistant job for a program in an area that's a hoops hotbed.
It just so happens that Lawson has four sons, all of which are staring — or will be staring — major Division I offers in the face. D.J., Detric, Chandler and Jonathan Lawson all have a shot at being near the top of their respective prep classes, D.J. had already committed to Memphis prior to his dad's hire, and Pastner smartly hired their dad to help get them to campus.
It's far from a new trend in college basketball. Temple just hired Rick Brunson for their coaching staff. Brunson's son, Jalen, is one of the top players in the class of 2015.
It's worked in the past at some places. Other places it didn't. Here's a look at some of the best father/son package deals in college basketball.
Danny and Ed Manning – Kansas, 1984
In the spring of 1984, Danny Manning was the hottest name on the high school hardwood. Ed Manning, a 10-year NBA veteran, was his father. Larry Brown, then the coach at Kansas, wanted to sign Manning. So he made the move to hire Ed as an assistant on his staff, which in turn, netted him Danny and four years later, helped the Jayhawks raise a national title.
Danny Manning went on to average 20.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and shot 60.5 percent from the floor before being selected as the first overall pick in the 1988 NBA Draft. Ed Manning followed Brown to the Spurs, joining his staff as a scout.
This may have been arguably the greatest father/son package in the history of college basketball. Anything that leads to a national title has to be up for that discussion.
Mario and Ronnie Chalmers – Kansas, 2005
I've got to give it to the Jayhawks. When the package it, they go all-in. Ronnie Chalmers was a big-time high school coach in Alaska and his son, Mario, was the best player in the Great White North in 2005. Not to mention, he was ranked as the a Top 2 point guard in the nation by most recruiting services.
Kansas coach Bill Self wanted Mario, as did most of the coaches in Division I. But Self was the one who hired Ronnie Chalmers as his director of basketball operations, which all but sealed Mario heading to Lawrence. Three years later, Chalmers helps Kansas to their first national championship since their last famous father/son package was on campus in the Mannings.
Mario Chalmers stacked up three-year averages of 12.2 points, 3.8 assists and shot 41.8 percent from three-point range and was selected in the second round of the 2008 NBA Draft. Ronnie Chalmers resigned from his post at Kansas right after Mario went pro in 2008.
Allan and Wade Houston – Tennessee, 1988
The Houston's situation was made even more interesting with fact that Wade was an assistant under Louisville coach Denny Crum for 13 seasons. During his son Allan's senior year at Ballard High School in Louisville, Houston was hired as the head coach at Tennessee.
Allan Houston, who would be named Mr. Basketball in the state of Kentucky and would help the Bruins win the state title in 1988, was rumored to be a strong UofL commitment before his dad got the Vols job. He promptly committed to UT, and flourished in Knoxville from 1989-1993, finishing as the school's all-time leading scorer, averaging 21.9 points per game. Wade Houston got out of coaching after the 1993-94 season.
Allan would go on to be the 11th pick in the 1993 NBA Draft, while Wade lasted one more season at Tennessee before being fired with a 65-90 career record and just two NIT appearances to his credit.
Dajuan and Milt Wagner – Memphis, 2001
Dajuan Wagner was another possible Louisville target whose father had strong ties to the Cardinals, but then got a coaching job with another school and the son followed. Dajuan was arguably the best scorer in the 2001 class and, like his father Milt, was a standout at Camden High School. Milt went on to star for Louisville as part of the Camden Connection that Crum had forged with recruits in the area and started as a fifth-year senior on the Cardinals' 1985-86 national championship team.
Those around the fanbase thought Wagner was a lock to follow his old man. But, just like with the Houston episode, Milt Wagner was hired as a coach by another program, John Calipari and Memphis, prior to Dajuan's graduation from high school.
Wagner signed with Memphis, led them to the NIT title in his lone season with the Tigers, clocked 21.2 points per game and shot 45.3 percent from three before being selected as the 6th overall pick in the 2002 NBA Draft. Milt was most recently a member of Tony Barbee's staff at Auburn. Barbee was fired after this past season.

The Champions Classic Draft: For when the event is that goodPosted: November 13, 2013 Filed under: Big Ten, Centers, Forwards, Guards, SEC Leave a comment
Tonight, The State Farm Champions Classic delivered two quality games to millions around the world from the friendly confines of Chicago. The event featured four of the Top 5 teams in the nation and didn't disappoint. There's a solid shot that at least 5-6 players taking part in the event are currently spending their final (or only) season in college during 2013-14, and most are deserved of that.
A bunch of players in this four-team event are already NBA-ready. With that in mind, and using just the players in tonight's event, how would a draft look using just Kentucky, Duke, Kansas and Michigan State?
Ladies and gentleman, the 2013 TBBC Champions Classic Draft.
Using just one round (because no one is draft walk-ons) we take a look at the talent in this event and how they would fare in a situation where the massive about of talent on the United Center was the only talent you could choose from. I kicked it around, and this is what I came up with.
(NOTE: I included the players' entire body of work up to now, including Tuesday's results, as a the measuring stick for where they went in the draft.)
1.) Andrew Wiggins, G/F, Kansas – Duh. The Top 3 pick in the 2014 NBA Draft had a double-double of 22 points and 10 rebounds in the win over Duke. He showed everyone he can play on the biggest stage, now he just has to maintain that.
2.) Julius Randle, F, Kentucky – It was already a race between Wiggins and Randle for next year's top pick. Randle showed some flaws (free throws?) but it's obvious the big stage doesn't scare him. He finished with 27 points and 13 rebounds.
3.) Jabari Parker, F, Duke – The third of the trio of talented freshman to show off on Tuesday night did exactly what every expected too, with 27 points and 9 rebounds, including 4-7 on threes. Well, looks like they're all gonna be alright.
4.) Adreian Payne, F, Michigan State – The senior is following in a long line of experienced bigs to play under Tom Izzo. He finished with 15 points and just three boards, but he showed a variety of post moves and a face-up game that can hang.
5.) Andrew Harrison, G, Kentucky – He's starting to get it under John Calipari, you can tell. Harrison is the point guard, the most important position in that Dribble Drive Motion Offense. He finished with 11 points and three assists, along with four turnovers, which has to improve.
6.) Keith Appling, G, Michigan State – I really think he could end up as a dark horse lottery pick in the June draft. The senior had 22 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 steals for the Spartans. Easily the best stat line of the night.
7.) James Young, G/F, Kentucky – The 6-6 shooter had an off-night (3-11 from three) but had 19 points in the loss. He's got a pull-up game that is pro ready. He's just got to become more consistent.
8.) Gary Harris, G, Michigan State – The sophomore is fully healthy and showed it with 20 points on the night. He was projected as a one-and-done in 2013, but he made the right decision to come back.
9.) Rodney Hood, G/F/, Duke – The Mississippi State transfer has a lot of "best transfer of the season" hype surrounding him. I think he will live up to it. The redshirt sophomore finished with 11 points in an average showing. He'll need a few weeks to assimilate.
10.) Rasheed Suliamon, G, Duke – The sophomore probably had the quietest 13 points you'll ever see, but we all know Suliamon is capable of more. He'll show it later on in the season.
11.) Alex Poythress, F, Kentucky – A guy who was supposed to be gone after one season has improved dramatically in Year 2. The final line is Ben Wallace-esque, 7 points and 12 rebounds (7 of them offensive). The nasty streak has to develop if he wants to be a success in the NBA.
12.) Branden Dawson, F, Michigan State – Dawson has either a double-double or near a double-double in Sparty's first two games. He had 8 points and 9 rebounds on Tuesday night. A guy who can do both consistently will get a look in the NBA. A long one.
13.) Tarik Black, F/C, Kansas – The Memphis transfer is a brute that has a game built just like Ben Wallace (second BDub reference!). I don't care that he didn't score a point. I want him on my team because he's not afraid of contact, which is key in the League.
14.) Quinn Cook, G, Duke – More and more, Cook looks like the true point guard Mike Kryzewski wants him to be. He finished with 10 points, 3 assists and 2 boards. If he develops, he's gone after this season. His decision making has to improve, though.
15.) Willie Cauley-Stein, F/C, Kentucky – Calipari's ultimate project from 2012-13 has proven to be a successful one. The 7-footer had 5 points, 7 boards and two blocks with only 2 fouls in 27 minutes. He might want to stay another year, but if he came out he'd have a shot to get drafted at a decent slot.
16.) Perry Ellis, F, Kansas – Ellis really hasn't gotten the love he deserves in two seasons in Lawrence. First because of en McLemore, now Wiggins. Well, that can't happen much longer after games of 24 points and 7 rebounds like he had against Duke.
17.) Brannen Greene, G, Kansas – Greene will eventually make a splash, which is why he's a bit high on this list. He only had 5 points, but his consistent stroke is undeniable. He's going to make some team happy as a result whenever he comes out of KU.
18.) Joel Embiid, F/C, Kansas – He's only been playing basketball for three years, but Embiid is a 7-footer who shows the makings of being a great defensive big man. He had 2 points with 5 rebounds and 3 assists against the Blue Devils, which previews an all-around game.
19.) Dakari Johnson, F/C, Kentucky – He's such a project pick, but if Daniel Orton could parlay one mediocre season into a first round selection, Johnson, a much more polished freshman, definitely can. The 6-11 Johnson had 2 points and 5 rebounds in 14 minutes.
20.) Wayne Seldon, G, Kansas – This is probably too low, but Seldon doesn't look like a great pro. He's great in the Jayhawks' system, with 15 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists against Duke, and in this crop, he'd be a Top 20 pick.
21.) Tyler Thornton, G, Duke – I can always get behind a senior glue guy that the younger guys listen to. Thornton, despite the lack of stats, is that guy. Which works great on a bench and in practice. And late in games. No mistakes.
22.) Travis Trice, G, Michigan State – Now that he's healthy, look for Trice to make his presence felt more often. Trice is a solid defender who provides depth at multiple positions. He had a bucket in 14 minutes.
23.) Naadir Tharpe, G, Kansas – Tharpe is just a calming presence on the floor. He had 7 points and a bevy of 3's in the stat box (rebounds, assists, turnovers, fouls.) It'd need to be the right team, but Tharpe could be a serviceable defensive guard.
24.) Denzel Valentine, F, Michigan State – He might be a bit higher if he wasn't a product of the flow of the game. Valentine finished with 5 points, 5 assists and 2 steals.
25.) Andrew Harrison, G, Kentucky – He probably, like his brother, was a first round pick if the one-and-done rule wasn't around. But now he has a year to develop that jumper. He finished with one bucket and he and Young will be battling each other for the NBA scouts to see who could be the best 2-guard out of the duo.
26.) Marcus Lee, F, Kentucky – We're talking about ONLY this game, remember? Lee has some skill, or Cal wouldn't have recruited him. He played 1 minute, but he will come around this season and have a Darnell Dodson-type impact (without the whole leaving the team thing.)
27.) Marshall Plumlee, F, Duke – He's a Plumlee, so he's got to have that game like his two older brothers, right? After redshirting and dealing with injuries his first two seasons, the youngest Plumlee to head to Duke is healthy and ready to contribute. His game translates to the NBA because like his brothers, he's not afraid of contact, Kendrick Perkins style.
28.) Conner Frankamp, G, Kansas – NBA general managers love guys who can stretch a defense. Frankamp can do just that. In a few seasons, he's going to fit that Brady Morningstar role really well.
29.) Jarrod Polson, G, Kentucky – I really think Polson gets overlooked for his acumen. This kid can play when called upon, and I think Calipari picks his spots with this guy. He didn't play Tuesday night, but he will definitely in SEC play.
30.) Frank Mason, G, Kansas – You can't ignore a guy who hits 11-12 free throws and caps the night with 15 points after just 3 points in their season opener.

Why is Iowa State's transfer model so successful?Posted: November 8, 2013 Filed under: Big 12 Leave a comment
On Wednesday, former junior college standout Jameel McKay announced he would transfer from Marquette after less than half a semester and enroll at Iowa State.
This should surprise no one. Not the transfer after not even playing a game for (presumably) no off-the-court issues, that's just weird. But the fact that McKay has decided to defect to Ames, where transfers seem to flock like a successful Island of Misfit Toys. Since Fred Hoiberg took over the Cyclones prior to the 2010-11 season, the program has had 13 different JuCo or four-year school transfers.
The Mayor has successfully parlayed a mix of freshman and transfers into two straight NCAA Tournament appearances, but can this continue?
In defense of Hoiberg, he's not bringing in players with troubled pasts or chemistry issues. He seeks out players that are looking for a home after leaving a program — let's focus on four-year players for now — and brings them in to his system. That's not without a few red flag cases. Korie Lucious was kicked off the team at Michigan State, came to Ames and enjoyed a solid senior season. He also brought in a player like Royce White, an elite talent who still battles severe anxiety disorders, which has hindered his ability to fly on team charters. He catered a bit to White (he rarely, if ever, flew to a game. Driving to the Cyclones NCAA Tournament second round loss to Kentucky in 2012) and got a ton out of him, and White ended up as a first round NBA Draft pick.
Junior college players are seen as plug-and-play guys. Depending on the program and the coach leading it, some schools really use these players, some don't. Hoiberg is the former, obviously. Since his first season, Hoiberg has had nine JuCo transfers on his roster. Five of them have finished in the top five in scoring for the Cyclones at the end of the season. He gets the most out of the talent that he brings in offensively. Hoiberg doesn't view junior college players as simply hole-fillers for a season or two. Which is probably why he gets so many good ones. Two JuCo Top 100 players, Dustin Hogue and K.J. Bluford, committed to the Cyclones prior to this season.
It's not necessarily a new practice. With the supposed transfer culture going around in college basketball, roster turnover has made it more common to expect a bevy of new players yearly. Before Iowa State, mid-and-low major programs have thrived off bringing in transfers. But not many high major teams, which is what the Cyclones are doing, well.

Chloe Grace Moretz Confronts Her Own Mortality

Terry Gilliam's last film featured the former Monty Python troupe member as an eccentric, demanding, and difficult director prone to destroying his ambitious projects before a single frame of footage was ever shot. "If it's easy," he says in the movie, "I don't do it." Alas, this was not a work of fanciful fiction made by the beloved (and, by studio bosses, feared and loathed) director of Braziland Twelve Monkeys, but one in which he starred as himself: Lost in La Mancha, the 2003 documentary about the cratering of Gilliam's long-in-the-making/short-in-the-breaking The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. It will go down as perhaps the ultimate Gilliam movie: a heartbreaking tale about a well-meaning man doomed by his delusions, a fantasy that collided with reality and didn't survive the impact. Such is the story of most every entry in Gilliam's filmography: The Fisher King, Twelve Monkeys, even Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. He coulda been a contender, if only he didn't insist on knocking himself out each time he stepped into the ring.
Already Gilliam is spinning like a top over his first film in seven years, bad-mouthing Dimension Films boss Bob Weinstein for interfering with the making of his long-delayed latest, The Brothers Grimm, which is actually not about Bob iand even more infamous sibling Harvey of Miramax. Like a wide receiver with bad hands, Gilliam is already claiming interference before the pass has been thrown. Bob replaced the director's star Samantha Morton with a lesser-known though perhaps far more marketable pretty face (Lena Headey); Bob booted out Gilliam's cinematographer Nicola Pecorini, with whom Gilliam made his most recent wild turkey, Fear and Loathing, and his upcoming Tideland; and Bob slashed the budget. Like no one could see this coming -- this Zippo tossed into an open gas tank; not in a long time has something arrived in theaters so ... doomed.
At least The Brothers Grimmdoes not disappoint: It gives off quite the pungent smell, especially for something so forgettable. Imagine if someone had remade Ghostbusters but set it in the same forest where Hansel and Gretel were kidnapped and Little Red Riding Hood was snatched, then cast Matt Damon as a fairy-tale writer with an English accent and spent the catering budget shooting it. Would that sound at all good to you? Of course not -- an obvious fact that somehow eluded the attention of Gilliam and screenwriter Ehren Kruger, whose other new film, The Skeleton Key, shares the essential text of The Brothers Grimm. (Has something to do with the stealing of souls to guarantee immortality for hoodoo priests and evil queens.)
The whole film, set in Napoleon-controlled Germany during the early 1800s, looks as though a fine sheen of muck covers what appears to be a studio-lot forest, in which tree roots flop around like puppet-show tentacles. It's easily the ugliest film Gilliam has ever made, a movie shot with a lens someone forgot to wipe. It's also his loudest: Every scene is amped up to eleven, and every line of dialogue is delivered as though it's a cry for help from the bottom of a well. The movie works hard to entertain, but all you're likely to notice is the flop sweat beading on its upper lip.
At this point is it even worth it to tell you the story? Okay, briefly: Cynical Will (Matt Damon) and true-believing brother Jacob Grimm (Heath Ledger) travel the cloudy countryside searching for villages in need of exorcising. They pose as demon-busters and, with their two compadres (The Office's Mackenzie Crook and Richard Ridings), stage a capture with a ghostly prop. One day, French governor Delatombe (Brazil's Jonathan Pryce, reminding Gilliam fans of lost, better days) snatches the lads and forces them to do their hoodoo in a village where kiddies are being taken -- as it turns out, by an ancient, evil, imprisoned queen (Monica Bellucci) who needs the souls of the young in order to regain her youth and beauty, though apparently not her acting ability.
Gilliam has always been easy to admire, but his movies have grown harder to adore: They're too manic, too desperate, more out-of-control than inventively wild. This one, especially, feels like an amateur's parody of Gilliam himself; you can hear the self-congratulatory giggles in Damon's half-ass accent, in Ledger's half-mad moping, and in the Chico Marx bark of Peter Stormare, as the bonkers Italian sidekick to Pryce's limp and lisping leader. Even its fractured fairy-tale setup is old news by now, having been better covered in the likes of Shrekand its superior sequel. This is grim stuff indeed; oh brother, is it.

WEB EXCLUSIVE: U of L students do a bang-up job on 'The Vagina Monologues'
Feb. 20-21
The Playhouse
1911 S. Third St.
$8 ($5 students); 8 p.m.
A cast of more than 20 University of Louisville students performed an excellent production of Eve Ensler's "The Vagina Monologues" Thursday night at The Playhouse. The play is part of V-Day 2009, a global movement dedicated to ending violence against women and girls. Proceeds from this year's event benefit U of L's Prevention, Education and Advocacy on Campus and in the Community (PEACC) and assist victims of violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Directed by Ashley Merkle, a recent graduate of U of L's Theatre Arts department, the ensemble cast took turns reciting more than 25 monologues from the original 1996 play, including "The Little Coochi Snorcher That Could," "Reclaiming Cunt" and the crowd favorite "The Woman Who Loved to Make Vaginas Happy" where most of the cast shared their favorite kind of "moan" with the audience.
With a cast so large, it was at times hard to hear the softer-spoken characters — a decent P.A. system could have fixed that. But other than that small glitch, the play showcased the young, up-and-coming talent we have to look forward to.
Also of note, it was fascinating to watch the two sign language interpreters during the play — Ariel Brooks and Colleen Oyler. You just never know when you'll have to use the universal sign for vagina.

This comes after [...]Read More..>>

There is now considerable evidence, reported by Jan Crawford on "Face the Nation" last Sunday, and by others as well, that Chief Justice John Roberts changed his opinion in the Obamacare decision because he feared that the Supreme Court would be damaged — the way it supposedly was after Bush v. Gore in 2000 –if [...]Read More..>>
P.S. to my Jerusalem Post op-ed on the Munich analogy and the 5P + 1 talks
Posted on June 8, 2012 - Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
The appeasers, whatever their failings, which were considerable, were nonetheless not hypocrites and liars. Neville Chamberlain never claimed he was acting on Czechoslovakia's behalf: that it somehow would be better off without half its territory and population. In his policy on the Middle East, President Obama, by contrast, claims to be acting not only in [...]Read More..>>
The Munich Analogy and the P5 + 1 Talks on Iran

My most recent op-ed, this one In the Jerusalem Post (June 4, 2012): http://www.jpost.com/LandedPages/PrintArticle.aspx?id=272553 As a professional historian, I normally do not place much stock in historical analogies. They usually obscure and confuse more than they clarify. But in the case of the recent P5 + 1 talks in Baghdad that will resume in Moscow [...]Read More..>>

The article below by Mark Steyn, which appears on the National Review website [http://www.nationalreview.com/blogs/print/290806], show very well the authoritarian temperament of President Obama, who complained recently about the restraints the constitution imposes on his freedom of action. One can only hope that the institutions of our government — the congress and the judiciary — can [...]Read More..>>
The Indecency of Barack Obama

In all I have read condemning Obamacare for requiring Catholic institutions, through the health insurance of their employees, to provide contraceptives and abortifacients that Catholicism considers anathema, I am not aware of anyone questioning why they should be given free of charge while medicines that treat actual diseases, some potentially fatal, have to be paid [...]Read More..>>

In 30 years of distinguished service at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Victoria S. Levin's career centered on fostering scientific research that addressed children's mental health. Upon her retirement there was an exceptional outpouring of tributes from the many distinguished scientists with whom Vicki worked over these years. The tributes vividly highlighted two hallmarks of Vicki's life work. First, they acknowledged Vicki's passion for scientific research examining development in the very first years of life, years that form a critical foundation for the development of lifelong mental health and well-being, and which play an important role in the prevention of mental disorders. Second, they praised her unique capability for encouraging new scientists, instilling them with confidence that they could achieve the high standards required to secure their first major funding from the NIH. The Victoria S. Levin Grant for Early Career Success in Young Children's Mental Health Research is established to continue Vicki's legacy in these two areas. Its aim is to foster early success in achieving federal funding for research that is informed by developmental science to address concerns affecting the early foundations of children's mental health and well-being. Broadly defined, this area of research addresses all aspects of the development of competence and risk for children from all types of backgrounds.
The grant serves the promising pre-tenured, junior investigator by:
- Supporting release time from duties during which time the grantee writes and submits an application in the area of early childhood mental health to the NIH. This support compensates the grantee's unit/department for the work from which the grantee is released. Having adequate time to develop and submit a grant application is essential for early career success.
- Providing travel funds for a trip to NIH to meet program staff. This support helps the grantee develop meaningful contacts with NIH program staff who can guide the application preparation and revision (funding usually requires two application submissions).
- Providing a pre-review of the candidate's NIH application. This support allows the mentor and grantee to benefit from an external critique of the NIH application prior to its submission. In our experience, this pre-review heightens the chances of early success in the first round of review and the mentor is able to guide the grantee in responding to reviews.
Aiming to heighten the chances of early success in achieving federal funding for developmentally-informed research that addresses the early foundations of children's mental health and well-being, the Victoria S. Levin Grant for Early Career Success in Young Children's Mental Health Research was created to honor and carry forward this focus of Victoria S. Levin's life work.
