Hold on to your knickers, girls! This weekend is full of excellent music, arts, theater and shopping events. Here we go:
Ides of March premiers tonight (FINALLY). Check it out and see how many Cincinnati landmarks you can spot. Or just look at Ryan Gosling. Read our interview with an actor who is not Gosling or Clooney here, and check out our review.
Clifton Heights Music Festival is back for its fifth installment! Bands of all genres take over six Clifton-area bars (in walking distance of one another) tonight and Saturday. The ever-growing fest continues to be one of the most affordable - $8 gets you in all venues for one night, $12 for both nights. Go here for the full lineup and venue details.
Rapper Machine Gun Kelly plays Madison Theater tonight. My little sister wants to marry him. Important facts here.
The 64th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards took place Sunday night. Each year I get excited for
this one awards show dedicated to television, and every year I forget how
boring and predictable it usually is.
First off, there is no booze served at the Emmys (unlike
the drink-friendly Golden Globes which honor TV and film), and that just puts a
damper on everything. Pre-show red carpet interviews have to be one of the most
uncomfortable interactions ever (I swear one E! douche bag actually said, "I don't really
care, 'cause we're dudes, but it's my thing tonight — Who are you wearing?"
Gag.) — stars need some hooch to make it all OK.
Then there are the clear academy favorites that are continually nominated year after year for no apparent reason — Can't we all agree Big Bang Theory lacks any real humor or geek cred? But I suffer through the Emmys just in case there's a redeeming wardrobe malfunction or surprise winner.
Raise your hand if you're tired of faux nerdery!
Jimmy Kimmel made an entertaining host, playfully poking fun at various celebs and, in a particularly funny bit, showed an "In Memoriam" video of himself, stating that we shouldn't wait until stars are dead to remember their work.
The big winners of the night were Showtime's drama series Homeland, the HBO movie Game Change and ABC's Modern Family (one of those perpetual comedy winners).
Fashion trends for the night (and fall in general) included bold solids and metallics, but I always find it interesting just a few stars sport very similar, striking looks. This year it was apparently good luck to mimic the award statue — all dressed in yellow, Julianne Moore (Game Change), Julie Bowen (Modern Family) and a pregnant Claire Danes (Homeland) each walked away with a golden lady for their respective leading performances.
The good: Tracy Morgan faked a medical issue to generate buzz, Amy Poehler and Julia Louie-Dreyfus "accidentally" swapped acceptance speeches and Jon Stewart kept censors on their toes during his acceptance speech on behalf of The Daily Show (which makes 10 wins in a row for the show). I was happy to see Jessica Lange honored as best supporting actress in a miniseries/movie — and, really, how smart of them to re-define American Horror Story each season, categorizing it as a miniseries. The always-hilarious Louis C.K. was "vindicated" with two Emmys for his writing on Louie and his stand-up special, Louis C.K.: Live at the Beacon Theater. And while the drama category was filled with some of my favorite shows, a very deserving Homeland pretty much swept the category. Aaron Paul was awarded for his role as Jesse Pinkman on Breaking Bad, to which I say, "Yeah, bitch!" While Paul may have been confused during fashion week, he must have picked up some style tips on the catwalk, because his chocolate suit was sick, and only enhanced by his fiance's coordinating gown.
All together now: Aww!
Season 4 of Breaking Bad was outstanding, and I'm a Jesse fan but…
The bad: Giancarlo Esposito should have won for his performance in Breaking Bad. I will never not be terrified of him after seeing him as the disturbing Gus Fring. I would have liked to see Kristen Wiig win for her last season on SNL. And Jon Cryer? I love ya, Duckie, but Two and a Half Men does not belong in the awards arena.
"Wait, me? Are you guys sure?"
So, it was mostly a snoozefest, but at least we had the opening skit featuring all the leading ladies and, namely, a "nude" Lena Dunham eating cake in a bathroom stall.
In non-Emmy news, Clint Eastwood's infamous
empty chair assault during the Republican National Convention is old news by
now, but that's not going to stop the folks at Extra from babbling on about it. During an interview about his
film Trouble With the Curve, Eastwood
had this to say: "If
someone's dumb enough to ask me to go to a political convention and say
something, they're going to have to take what they get."
Serious question:
Is Amanda Bynes the new Britney? With Ms. Spears cleaning off
her Cheeto dust to fulfill her duties as "Britney, bitch"
on The X Factor, another
downward-spiraling starlet must accept the role as train wreck supreme. Sure,
Lindsay Lohan is the obvious candidate, but if you've been following the
"retired" actress of Nickelodeon fame, you know Bynes is barreling to the front
of the race. Seemingly out of nowhere, Bynes has recently had her car impounded after facing charges for a DUI, driving without a license (twice) and two hit-and-runs.
I will go as far as calling my dad in from the 'burbs to chauffeur my ass around (or, in dire situations, dealing with the living hell that is Ron's Cab) to avoid traffic stops and drunk driving. Can't these child stars payroll a driver to be available at their every whim, or call a damn taxi? Also, people are saying she's crazier than one of those silly characters she played when she was 12.
Apple sold more
than 5 million iPhone 5s over the weekend, completely running out of stock.
Those who didn't camp outside Apple stores or take advantage of pre-sale offers
will have to wait until October for the newest iPhone, but I borrowed my
boyfriend's I tested one out all professional-like over the weekend. Here's
the rundown. "Fastest, thinnest, lightest iPhone ever?" Yes. It's so light, it feels like a
toy phone that should have chiclets inside or something.
iPhone 5 prototype
The phone itself is
more compact, but the screen surface is actually larger. It's equipped with 4G
LTE and features a new smaller, reversible charger. Siri remains pretty
inessential to those of us with the ability to look out windows, although I've found it moderately entertaining to ask it existential
questions and see how well it can decipher fake accents. And the cool, easy-to-use panoramic camera
feature is sure to set the Instagram world on fire.
If you're downtown for the game or just hanging out, stop by the Moerlein Lager House at The Banks for their first seasonal Keg tapping. Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld will tap the Christian Moerlein Dubél Double IPA, available only at the Lager House, at 6 p.m.
Even if you're far from a modern dance buff, you're probably familiar with contemporary dance company Pilobolus. Besides touring across more than 64 countries, Pilobus performed a tribute to the nominated movies at the 2007 Oscars, collaborated with OK GO for the group's "All Is Not Lost" music video and were featured on Late Night with Conan O'Brien in 2008.
Pretty cool, right? Pilobolus is in town tonight and Thursday, performing at the Aronoff Center as part of Contemporary Dance Theater's Guest Artist Series. Go here for tickets.
Joseph-Beth hosts staff favorite author Veronica Roth and their Rookwood location tonight. The New York Times bestselling author will discuss and sign the second book in her popular Divergent series tonight from 7-8:30 p.m. Insurgent is "another intoxicating thrill ride of a story, rich with hallmark twists, heartbreaks, romance, and powerful insights about human nature."

New Orleans Hip Hop artist and "Queen of Bounce" Big Freedia was twerking back when Miley was still "Hannah." Her booty-shaking anthems like "Azz Everywhere" command crowds to pop their shit — Cincy was lucky to get a taste of Big Freedia during the 2011 MidPoint Indie Summer Series. Now that the world has gotten wind of twerking, completely taken it out of musical context and become grotesquely obsessed with it, Freedia is here to tell us the true story of bounce music and booty dancing. Check out the new docu-series Big Freedia: Queen of Bounce on Fuse debuting Wednesday, Oct. 2 at 11 p.m.
Big Freedia hosted Guinness World Twerking Record dance-off in New York City Wednesday. Yes, there is now an official world record for "most people twerking at one time."
1:05 - Twerk, Grandma, TWERK!
Neil Patrick Harris hosted the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards Sunday night — his second major award hosting gig this year (He also filled the role at July's Tony Awards). NPH did a fine job, but the skits and monologues were nothing to write home about. Maybe he needs a break from being the face of every awards show?
After an excruciatingly long intro monologue (saved barely by the flawless Tina Fey and Amy Poehler), the night kicked off with the award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy. Nurse Jackie's Merritt Wever answered everyone's prayers by skipping an acceptance speech altogether to give us a bathroom break (turns out Wever wasn't shooed offstage for time considerations as speculated — she was just nervous, which is adorable).
Veep's Tony "Buster Bluth Forever" Hale nabbed the Supporting Actor in a Comedy prize, later reprising his role as the Vice Prez's bitch boy onstage when co-star Julia Louis-Dreyfus won Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy.
Other notable wins of the night:
Anna Gunn (Skyler White, Breaking Bad) was finally validated with Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama after portraying a major love-to-hate character for five seasons. Breaking Bad was also awarded as the best drama series, because obviously. Side Note: For those unable to watch Sunday's Breaking Bad series finale in real time and all you pathetic chumps still not caught up, social media can be a landmine of spoilers. That's why Netflix created the Spoiler Foiler, which censors the tweets in your feed that contain "breaking," "bad" or other "danger words." But until we see the day when people realize "I can't believe XX killed XXX" is not share-worthy commentary, no one is truly safe.
Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama was full of worthy contenders: Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones), Mandy Patinkin (Homeland), Jonathan Banks (Mike Ehrmantraut, Breaking Bad) to name a few. But it was Bobby Cannavale who deservingly took the trophy for his role as Gyp Rosetti, Boardwalk Empire's Season Three villain. As much as I adore the other nominees, Cannavale's take on the dangerous, hypersensitive Italian gangster Gyp was a performance to be reckoned with.
James Cromwell won Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Miniseries for his role in American Horror Story: Asylum (the show's only major win, despite having the most nominations). Cromwell is great in everything from Babe to Six Feet Under, but his role as this sexually repressed mad scientist was truly chilling.
Finally, The Colbert Report beat The Daily Show (among others) for Outstanding Variety Series, breaking Jon Stewart's 10-year winning streak (although Stewart is actually an executive producer for Colbert, so he kind of won, too).
Go here to see all the nominees and winners.
Richard Simmons (who really seems to be popping up everywhere lately, which I'm loving) got done up in drag to pay tribute to his fave Emmy nominees

George Washington Colonials (3-1)
@Austin Peay Governors (0-5)
Tuesday, November 22
Stroh Center - Bowling Green, OH
Attendance: 502
George Washington
Austin Peay
Bowling Green, OH (Sports Network) - Aaron Ware led George Washington with 12 points as the Colonials took a 54-52 victory over Austin Peay at the CBE Classic.
Tony Taylor added 11 points and was the only other member of George Washington (3-1) to reach double digits.
TyShwan Edmonson scored a game-high 17 points while Josh Terry dropped in 12 with six rebounds as Austin Peay (0-5) remained winless on the season.
Melvin Baker's jumper early in the first half put Austin Peay ahead 7-2 for the largest lead for any team through the first 20 minutes.
The remainder of the first saw four ties and six lead changes as both teams struggled from the floor. Each team shot just 29 percent and a pair of Will Triggs free throws with 11 seconds left gave Austin Peay a 24-23 lead at the break.
Nemanja Mikic dropped a shot from beyond the arc 18 seconds into the second to spark a 13-4 run by the Colonials to give George Washington the largest lead of the contest at 36-28.
With George Washington holding a 54-48 lead with 4:47 left in the game, the Colonials would miss their final four shots and turn the ball over three times as time ran down.
But after a Terry layup brought the Governors within two with 1:58 remaining, Austin Peay would not score again as Justin Blake missed a potential go-ahead three-pointer and Edmonson's shot at the buzzer was no good to give George Washington the win.

For writing long strings of words on a cake side?
I am thinking that royal would be best; what do you think?
Cake is Happy!!
James H. H. LampertProfessional Dilettante

Flickr "baked goods" set http://flic.kr/s/aHsjvZvdTh
It might be a good idea to write your message in RI on a flat surface and transfer to the cake if you can? Writing on the side of the cake neatly I found to be really hard.
This is quite tricky - for a wedding cake with poetry written on the sides all around the tiers I got the words print on an edible transfer sheet and wrapped bands of this around the cakes. Worked very well, with a hell of a lot less stress!
If it's covered in fondant, have you thought about hand-painting it? My handwriting in RI is terribly sloppy. lol If you find a nice typeface you can transfer the message to fondant easily. I find a fine tipped brush to paint makes it easier to cover up boo-boos.
Best wishes.
I can only speak from my experience. I have never done a fondant cake so I am not sure how hard it is to write on sides of fondant covered cake. I have written on top and sides of buttercream cake with buttercream icing and it was quite easy to do. I always add a little bit of corn syrup in my buttercream which makes it more pliable and less likely to break.

Beckett seeks 12th victory
Updated: July 20, 2009, 9:25 PM ET
By Adam Madison | ESPN.com
After a nine-day hiatus, Josh Beckett will take the mound for the first time since the All-Star break, looking for his AL-leading 12th win. The Red Sox decided to give Beckett a couple of extra days' rest following the break, but a nice side effect is that he gets to face the Rangers' fourth starter, Tommy Hunter. The disparity in talent between the two enhances Beckett's chance at picking up that 12th win and catapults him near the top of the rankings. Let's see the other pitchers who ...

While Posh Lash Lounge's technicians meticulously affix individual eyelash extensions to natural lashes, clients relax on a plush white spa beds with purple pillows and cozy blankets. The mink lashes the technicians apply are ultra-light and extremely soft, and they tend to put less pressure on the natural lashes than synthetic extensions.
Beauty experts at the chic salon—which boasts a white-and-gray color palette and soft lighting from chandeliers—also fine tune clients with brow shaping, facial waxing, and makeup applications, but their other specialty is spray tanning. They gild bodies with natural-looking bronze color, making clients ready for everyday events or such special occasions as weddings and Taco Tuesdays.

Leonardo DiCaprio Dancing in Cannes 2013
Leo Lounges Shirtless on a Yacht Surrounded By Ladies
Leonardo DiCaprio had a busy few days at the Cannes Film Festival last week as he promoted The Great Gatsby. He teamed up with his costars Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire, and Isla Fisher for multiple events including the glamorous Gatsby red carpet premiere that opened the festival, but his trip to France wasn't all about work. On Friday, Leo let loose at a nightclub, where he danced with friends, including Lukas Haas, and a few lucky ladies. Leo tried to keep a low profile with his hat on, but he was spotted mingling in the crowd and showing off his moves while also smoking on an electronic cigarette.
He followed up the late-night fun by hanging out on a yacht last weekend and on Tuesday he made his way back out on the water. Leo and Lukas were joined by a group of guys and girls to lounge on Phillip Green's luxury vessel, where Leo went shirtless and even snapped a picture of himself while smoking a cigar. Later in the evening, Leo took the party indoors to attend jewelry brand de Grisogono's Cannes cocktail party. He was once again surrounded by a handful of young, beautiful women while sipping on a glass of champagne and was back to living it up on a yacht yesterday.
Leo stayed behind in France while the rest of his Gatsby costars headed Down Under for the film's Australian premiere. While promoting the movie in his native country, director Baz Luhrman explained Leo's absence saying, "I know he made the right decision. He shouldn't be here. There are things in your own personal life where you've got to draw a line and we talked about it. He did exactly the right thing in my opinion."

grandMA Goes To the Movies with Key Role In "Night At The Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian"
Fans of the family comedy "Night at the Museum" are eagerly anticipating next spring's release of the sequel, "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian," which is now in production with a grandMA and grandMA Light on hand. A.C.T Lighting is the exclusive distributor of the grandMA in North America.
"For the past five years the grandMA has been our primary console," reports rigging gaffer Keith Woods citing movie credits for "The Chronicles of Riddick," "The Day the Earth Stood Still," "A Tale of Two Sisters" and "The Santa Claus II." "We've used all models from the grandMA to the grandMA Light and even the Ultra Light."
Tasked with making movie lighting systems work for DOP John Schwartzman and Gaffer Drew Davidson, Woods is currently working on a set for "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" which replicates the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum. Ben Stiller reprises his role as Larry the security guard in the sequel to the hit film which finds the Museum of Natural History closed for renovations and its exhibits in storage at the Smithsonian in Washington.
"grandMA is used to control the movie's conventional and moving lights and do some cueing," Woods explains. "Our rental house, Christie Lites, uses the grandMA, and once again we were in the position to need its fixture capabilities and touchscreens."
Woods has tapped the grandMA "pretty exclusively" since "The Chronicles of Riddick" to control large conventional dimming systems. For that film, one of his Best Boy/Console Operator/Programmers designed a fixture patch for spacelights and KinoFlo Image 80s that enabled the grandMA to control them via the touchscreen.
"We have six circuits of dimming for the spacelights and eight circuits of data for KinoFlo Image 80s, which we can operate from the touchscreen rather than keying in by hand," he notes. "Thanks to the touchscreen and fixture-patch capabilities we can do everything much faster. We can make changes quickly and don't need channel numbers."
As the grandMA continues to compile feature-film credits it's clear that Woods is a fan of the system. "We like it. It's been pretty consistent," he says. "We first used the grandMA for additional universes, then we saw how easy to use it could be. So grandMAs are back in the movies again."
"I continue to be amazed at where grandMAs are being used. Movie lighting has really come a long way in regards to lighting control, and we are so proud to be involved. Of course, I will look at the movie in a very different way, and I cannot wait to see it," comments A.C.T Lighting president and CEO Bob Gordon.
On "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" Todd Martin was the grandMA console operator with Jason McKinnon, Phil Klapwyk and Sean Oxenbury the programmers.

Summary: Clifford Geertz, one of the most influential thinkers of our time, here discusses some of the most urgent issues facing intellectuals today. In this collection of personal and revealing essays, he explores the nature of his anthropological work in relation to a broader public, serving as the foremost spokesperson of his generation of scholars, those who came of age after World War II. His reflections are written in a style that both entertains and disconcerts, as they engage us in to ...show morepics ranging from moral relativism to the relationship between cultural and psychological differences, from the diversity and tension among activist faiths to ''ethnic conflict'' in today's politics. Geertz, who once considered a career in philosophy, begins by explaining how he got swept into the revolutionary movement of symbolic anthropology. At that point, his work began to encompass not only the ethnography of groups in Southeast Asia and North Africa, but also the study of how meaning is made in all cultures--or, to use his phrase, to explore the ''frames of meaning'' in which people everywhere live out their lives. His philosophical orientation helped him to establish the role of anthropology within broader intellectual circles and led him to address the work of such leading thinkers as Charles Taylor, Thomas Kuhn, William James, and Jerome Bruner. In this volume, Geertz comments on their work as he explores questions in political philosophy, psychology, and religion that have intrigued him throughout his career but that now hold particular relevance in light of postmodernist thinking and multiculturalism.Available Lightoffers insightful discussions of concepts such as nation, identity, country, and self, with a reminder that like symbols in general, their meanings are not categorically fixed but grow and change through time and place. This book treats the reader to an analysis of the American intellectual climate by someone who did much to shape it. One can read Available Light both for its revelation of public culture in its dynamic, evolving forms and for the story it tells about the remarkable adventures of an innovator during the ''golden years'' of American academia. ...show less

I am Peter, brought up in the center of Manchester, UK. But was a square peg in a round hole there, worked 33 years as stockman in dairy farming then made redundant. Luckily got a job managing a garden nursery for a couple of years, but had to leave as tenancy came to an end. Couldn't find work so relocated to Wales and am now a self-employed gardener, great move, good things come out of hard times. Digital tech has made photography affordable to me and I love it, compliments my walking and Birdwatching. At present on a steep learning curve, new things are always good, stretch your mind and keep you sane-ish.

- Flashpoints: The Emerging Crisis in Europe | 01/30/15 (with live webcast)
Despite its reputation as a "civilized" and "cultured" continent, European wars have killed over 100 million people in the last century. Are there "flashpoints" still smoldering beneath the surface that we should pay attention to? (Public Affairs Program) - A Conversation with Leon Botstein, President of Bard College and Champion of Liberal Arts Education | 02/04/15 (with live webcast) Now in his 40th year as president of Bard College, Leon Botstein is one of the great practitioners and one of the most passionate advocates of the liberal arts education. Botstein is himself an incarnation of that deeply threatened tradition: He is the conductor of the American Symphony Orchestra, and he teaches in Bard's mandatory great-books class. At a time when college presidents often sound like cautious bureaucrats, Botstein expresses himself exuberantly and piercingly. (Ethics Matter Series)
- Ebola and other Viral Outbreaks: Providing Health Care to the Global Poor in Times of Crisis | 02/13/15 (with live webcast) Providing health care to people in crisis is challenging, as the recent Ebola crisis has shown. Responding professionally to increasingly complex needs while retaining the humanitarian spirit that responds to unacceptable human suffering is a major challenge facing all aid agencies. Over the past few decades, the humanitarian sector has attempted to create global standards, but what happens when governments fail to provide adequate medical services for their populations? (Public Affairs Program)
- Patients with Passports: Medical Tourism, Law, and Ethics | 02/24/15 (with live webcast) Medical tourism is a growing, multi-billion dollar industry involving millions of patients who travel abroad each year to get health care. Some seek legitimate services like hip replacements and travel to avoid queues, save money, or because their insurer has given them an incentive to do so. Others seek to circumvent prohibitions on accessing services at home and go abroad to receive abortions, assisted suicide, commercial surrogacy, or experimental stem cell treatments. How safe are these procedures? How do you ensure that you will be protected if anything should happen? (Public Affairs Program)
- American Energy Challenges and Global Leadership in the Years Ahead | 03/31/15 Dramatic changes in the global energy system pose hard choices for U.S. interests and values. What are the leadership responsibilities of the United States in the changing energy market? How extensively can the United States involve itself in policy initiatives to promote market stability? What are the ethical challenges of U.S. action (or inaction)? (American Leadership Series)
- Conference on Democracy and Values | 04/24/15
This international conference is in partnership with Global Thinkers Forum, London. A select delegation of high-profile scholars and ethical visionaries, led by Carnegie Council Centennial Chair Michael Ignatieff and the Council's Global Ethics Fellows, will participle in an intensive, multi-phased dialogue with 100+ Greek academics, public officials, business leaders, activists, students, and citizens. They will pursue ethical questions that lie at the heart of the Greek tradition of democracy and develop a new understanding of global citizenship that transcends national borders.

Employment data for the class of 2013 released by the American Bar Association paint a mixed picture of the legal job market. Fifty-seven percent of the graduates were able to find long-term positions requiring passage of the bar, which is a small increase from the 56.2% who did so the year before. However, the percentage of graduates who were unemployed and looking for work rose slightly to 11.2%. In the coming years, the number of legal graduates is expected to shrink.

Excellence Without a Soul
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Author | Harry R. Lewis |
Country | United States |
Language | English |
Subject | higher education |
Publisher | PublicAffairs |
Publication date
2006 |
"Presidents, deans, and professors rarely tell students simple truths, for example that the strategizing and diligence that got them into the college of their choice may not, if followed thoughtlessly, lead to an adult life they will find worth living."
- Harry Lewis, Excellence Without a Soul, p.xiii |
"The old ideal of a liberal education lives on in name only. No longer does Harvard teach the things that will free the human mind and spirit."
- Harry Lewis, Excellence Without a Soul, p. 253 |
Excellence Without a Soul is a book by Harry R. Lewis, the former Dean of Harvard College, that examines the state of America's universities and colleges with particular reference to Harvard. It first appeared in 2006 as Excellence Without a Soul: How a Great University Forgot Education and subsequently in 2007, with a new subtitle, as Excellence Without a Soul: Does Liberal Education Have a Future? It attracted considerable attention because of its trenchant analysis of undergraduate education, much of which was based on his experience as a Harvard administrator. It has been translated into Chinese and Korean.

Millner Joins Best Buy Board To Provide Omnichannel GuidanceWednesday January 15th, 2014 - 12:42PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Best Buy Co., Inc. has announced the appointment of Tommy Millner, Cabela's Inc. president and CEO, to its board of directors, with his success at combining store and online retailing stated as a reason for his appointment. Millner assumed his Cabela's responsibilities in April 2009 after spending 10 years as Remington Arms Co., Inc., CEO. Millner joined the Best Buy board on January 13, the company noted, adding that he will stand for ratification at the retailer's annual shareholder meeting in June. "Tommy is a well-regarded CEO who has successfully transitioned his organization from a traditional retailer to one that is highly respected as an effective omnichannel player," said Hatim Tyabji, Best Buy board chairman. "Best Buy is on the same journey, and Tommy's insights will, no doubt, be valuable as the company looks to even better serve its customers wherever and however they want."

Guess Ransom isn't just a catchy stage name. On It's Ransom, the latest single off his forthcoming collaborative set with Statik Selektah, the Jersey repper reveals that he really is in the kidnapping business, threatening to abduct sucker emcees and hold them for—you guessed it—ransom. (If you think I'm overusing the word "ransom," wait'll you hear the song.) In contrast to the gritty, yet tuneful instrumental that backed lead single Unexplainable, Statik's beat here is an all-out aural assault, driven by tense strings and a thundering rhythm section. D-Block member Styles P. assists on the guest tip, complementing Ransom's tough talk with a hard-nosed hook. The Proposal has been pushed back from its original drop date and is now scheduled for release on Tuesday, October 1. In the meantime, fans can hear more from Statik Selektah on his recently-released solo set, Extended Play.

- Studio: Columbia Pictures
- Release Date: May 15, 1987
- Starring: Dustin Hoffman, Isabelle Adjani, Warren Beatty
- Summary: Chuck Clarke (Hoffman) and Lyle Rogers (Beatty) are a couple of no-talent New York singer-songwriters who agree to play the only gig they can find at the Chez Casablanca in Morocco. En route, they become embroiled in various international intrigues in the neighboring (fictional) Ishtar.
- Director: Elaine May
- Genre(s): Adventure, Comedy, Musical
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 7 out of 16
Mixed: 6 out of 16
Negative: 3 out of 16
A smart, generous, genuinely funny affair. Sometimes, like the camel who almost ambles away with the picture, it's longish in the tooth, but it is based on an extremely astute vision of life. [15 May 1987]
Ishtar is a good movie, but you can't help but wonder if, lurking somewhere in those cans of outtakes, there isn't a great movie, too. [15 May 1987]
Enter Charles Grodin, who upstages all involved via his savagely comical portrayal of a CIA agent.
The worst of it is painless; the best is funny, sly, cheerful and, here and there, even genuinely inspired. [15 May 1987, p.C3]
The guys in Ishtar are the boring wallflowers of the world. They probably shouldn't be mocked, disgraced and beaten, but who really wants to spend close to two hours with them.
When Beatty and Hoffman doe their (deliberately hopeless) singing numbers, jerking like mechanical men, phrasing unmusically, going off-key, they don't have the slapstick skills for it. That's when you long for Martin and Murray, or some other comics. [1 June 1987, p.102]
A truly dreadful film, a lifeless, massive, lumbering exercise in failed comedy. Elaine May, the director, has mounted a multimillion-dollar expedition in search of a plot so thin that it hardly could support a five-minute TV sketch.

Freaky Friday: Zombie Zombie, aliens, G.I. Joes together at last
Categories: Commentary
Did you ever feel like the universe is reaching directly into your brain for inspiration on what crazy shit it should do next? That's how I feel watching this clip, which takes like five of my favorite things in the world -- Krautrock inspired electronic grooves, zombies, G.I. Joe, John Carpenter and stop-motion animation -- and mashes them together in the most delicious way possible. The band is French dance/groove/weirdo outfit Zombie Zombie (not to be confused with the local, Warren Beddell-fronted act, but still coolest name ever! That's them pictured above), the video is a stop-motion recreation of the John Carpenter classic The Thing created with G.I. Joe figures. It's incredible, and you can find it after the jump.

My husband was charged with 2 counts on Burglary 2 counts on Forgery & 2 counts on theft! This is his first offense. His bail is $60,000. I dont know if its better to get a Lawyer or just let him get represented with a public defender? Would it make a difference ?
Yet another matter in which you should completely ignore out of state lawyers jumping in. They have *no* idea what the local environment.
If you have any way of getting private counsel, you should. It is not that the public defenders aren't capable lawyers, but that their load is so heavy that they can't take the time a private attorney can.
Either Mr. Goodman or my partner Thomas Boley would be capable of handling this.
It really wouldn't make a difference because court appointed attorneys are fully capable of advocating on their client's best interests. It is best that he go ahead and requests a court appointed attorney so that he will have counsel. If you decide to later retain counsel, the court appointed attorney can file a Motion to Withdraw. You don't want to be placed in a position where you husband waives his right to counsel and is unable to retain private counsel.

Trying to Shake Up the Japanese, Architect Shizuo Kurisaka Pitches a Post-Earthquake House
Kurisaka, 40, leans toward the whimsical. One of his celebrated whimsies is the "Completed House Under Construction," featuring permanent scaffolding on the outside and painted silhouettes of workmen on the front wall. "People who want ordinary houses," concedes Kurisaka, with some understatement, "don't come to me."
Still, his Falling White Box has a serious bias. It is designed to remind Shizuoka's 465,000 residents that the city, 90 miles southwest of Tokyo, is a likely target for Japan's next major earthquake. "The authorities say prepare and be careful," says Kurisaka, who lives in Shizuoka with his wife, Mieko, 32, daughter Tomoko, 6, and son Tatsuji, 2. "But the earthquake doesn't come, so people forget."
Some of the neighbors would prefer to forget the Falling White Box. "It does stand out," comments the owner of a nearby beauty shop in the otherwise traditional community. "Everyone who comes by is shocked." Yet Kurisaka's faith in his work is unshakable. "It may seem strange now," he admits, "but when the earthquake comes and all the other houses fall down, it will seem quite normal."

Bengals have taken positive steps
Several e-mailers over the past week were upset I didn't include the Bengals in my recent column about the 10 teams that had the best offseasons.
First of all, I was amazed. Passionate Bengals fans after two years of football hell? That's surprising and it offers hope. The Bengals' fan base has been tortured and teased so many times through the years that it's great to see that type of emotion.
Do you have a query for John Clayton?
Click here to send a note to his mailbag.
What those fans didn't know was that I was planning to include the Bengals among my surprise teams. The return of quarterback Carson Palmer and an easy schedule offer hope. Quarterbacks and schedules mean everything in this league, and the Bengals should benefit from both in 2009.
Still, it's hard for me to give glowing reviews to the Bengals' offseason. Sure, they had a strong draft, but I couldn't find a volume of things that would allow me to give the Bengals a top-10 grade for the offseason.
They signed WR Laveranues Coles, but lost dependable T.J. Houshmandzadeh. They added talented left tackle Andre Smith, but cut former first-rounder Levi Jones. J.T. O'Sullivan was signed as a backup quarterback, but he replaces the departed Ryan Fitzpatrick.
The only true additions to the Bengals' roster were defensive tackle Tank Johnson, who signed a one-year, $670,000 contract; safety Roy Williams, who signed a one-year, $900,000 deal; and fullback Brian Leonard, who came from St. Louis in a trade. He's making $460,000. That's barely $2 million of additions.
For the Bengals, the 2009 season offers hope, but they didn't do enough to merit top-10 consideration for their offseason.
Let's dive into the mailbag:
From the inbox
Q: Don't you think it's about time for the Browns to hand the keys to one of the quarterbacks, instead of having a friendly competition? I don't think this team can ever turn a corner without committing to one QB.
Mark in Cleveland
A: I don't see anything wrong with healthy competition because I honestly don't know who is the best QB. I watched Derek Anderson develop into a Pro Bowl quarterback two years ago. I know he can play. I liked some of the things I saw from Brady Quinn and believe he can be a good starter. Anderson has a strong arm. Quinn is a hard worker and can run an accurate system.
Short takes
Brad in Wayne, Pa., wonders if NFL players are pushing more for a collective bargaining extension in light of a possible 2011 lockout. I think they are. There is plenty of money for players to claim and the players realize a lockout could stop growing the game. Robert in Dayton, Ohio, can't believe Ben Roethlisberger isn't considered among the top three quarterbacks in the league. Believe me, he is. The guy has two Super Bowl rings and now can win games in which he throws more than 30 passes. To Ben in Essex, Vt., there is no long-term deal between the Chiefs and quarterback Matt Cassel, but you get the feeling they must be close to reaching one. Cassel is in a great spot because he's a seventh-round pick who hit the jackpot by getting the franchise tag. The Chiefs don't want to lose Cassel to free agency if he does well as the team's quarterback. To Matt in Burlington, Vt., I think the 49ers will probably keep five receivers on their 53-man roster. That could be bad news for Arnaz Battle. Ryan in Fresno, Calif., wonders if I think Ted Ginn Jr. is a No. 1 receiver. I consider him a great No. 2, which doesn't live up to his status of being a top-10 pick. E-mailer James notes that the Seahawks, Raiders, 49ers, Chargers and Cardinals combined for 3-20 records in East Coast games and that only three of those games were decided by three or less points. He remarks that the league needs to look at moving those early start times to 4 p.m. ET . I agree. The league is missing something on this topic. E-mailer Travis wonders if Brandon Marshall is going to be suspended. I don't think so because his assault case was dismissed quickly. David in White Plains, N.Y., believes the Jets' defense will be good under Rex Ryan. I agree, even though this will be a year of transition against a tough schedule. He wants to trade unhappy running back Thomas Jones for a receiver. I don't think that will happen. . Mike in Sharpsburg, Md., wonders about the availability of Braylon Edwards and what his value is. He's still worth a first- and third-round picks. That won't change.
Q: Is there any news that the Bears will soon be drafting/trading for an heir apparent to Brian Urlacher? The whispers of Urlacher's decline are not so quiet anymore, and it seems he's not the player he once was.
Dan in Chicago
A: Great question, but the answer is no. How do you replace a Brian Urlacher? It's the same thing with Ray Lewis in Baltimore. You let both play out their days until they can't play anymore because the next middle linebacker isn't going to be as good as Urlacher or Lewis. Great players sometimes get a second wind. Look at Lewis last year. He played like he was in his 20s. Remember how critics didn't think Urlacher was the right choice because he was a big college safety being converted to linebacker? Don't underestimate him.
Q: Do you think there's a chance the Bills' D will be a top-five unit this year? The secondary is solid and the linebacking corps has potential
Mark in Hanford, Calif.
A: I don't think the Bills are big enough on the defensive line to be a top-10 defense, but I still think they can be a good defense. The problem with a Dick Jauron defense is that sometimes it doesn't have good statistical numbers. It tends to play a bend-but-don't-break style that gives up yards but plays tough in the red zone. First-round choice Aaron Maybin also has to have a solid first season to help the pass rush. I'm optimistic about the Bills, but one thing that will affect their stats on defense is their tough schedule. They play the sixth-toughest schedule in the league.
Q: I was wondering if you think Limas Sweed is ready to step up and be the No. 3 receiver for the Steelers this year, or is he just going to fade away?
John in Prosperity, Pa.
A: Reports from the minicamp are very encouraging about Sweed. It's still too early to determine if he's ready to make a big jump, but he will be closely monitored in training camp to see if he can be a real factor in Year 2. He has a chance.
Q: As a Bucs fan, I'm concerned that the Jim Bates-style of defense is going to implode our once highly touted Tampa 2 defense. Do you think the Bucs will still be able to contain offenses?
Alex in Philadelphia
A: At some point, the Bucs had to accept that Monte Kiffin was going to move on. Change was going to happen at some point, and the Tampa 2 defense has been evolving leaguewide the past couple of seasons. I'm not sold the Bucs made the right personnel moves, but I do believe in Bates. It's pretty clear the Bucs are in transition both on offense and defense. Be patient.
Q: Why can't the Titans trade Vince Young to Houston, where he will have the best receiver in the league to throw to, a good young running back and a great young defense?Pretty Boy in Houston
A: There is no way Bud Adams is going to trade Young to Houston. There's too much history there given Adams' move from Houston to Nashville. Plus, you're never going to see Adams send a Texas player back to the Lone Star State out of fear that he could come back and haunt the Titans. Young unfortunately blew it last year, when he lost the confidence of his teammates and the organization. He's going to have to win back the players in the locker room to regain his starting status.
Q: Do you think the Redskins' plan to utilize Brian Orakpo as an OLB (even periodically) is wise?
A: I wonder about the move of Orakpo to outside linebacker. I remember some of the difficulties Derrick Thomas had as an outside linebacker in a 4-3. He either had to rush wider or go quicker to the inside to beat the spacing of a 4-3. The plan is for Orakpo to be the strongside linebacker on first and second downs. He will move to defensive end on passing downs. The Redskins figure he will play linebacker on 60 percent of the snaps, and rush the quarterback on half of those plays.
Q: John, I don't understand why people act as if losing Plaxico Burress was devastating to the Giants' roster. Burress was inconsistent last year, and I think the team added enough weapons to at least make the playoffs. Thoughts?
Matt in New Jersey
A: The problem will come in blitzing situations. Burress was Eli Manning's go-to guy when he was pressured. Manning now has to find that option. It is going to take some time. I still think the Giants missed a great chance by not offering more for Braylon Edwards.
Q: How is Alex Smith coming along and does he have a shot to be the 49ers' starter this year? Do you think the 49ers have a shot to make the playoffs this year?
Mike in Mexico City
A: Smith is throwing, but he hasn't made a move yet to win the job. Shaun Hill heads into training camp with the edge. Still, Smith does have a shot because he's still young and has plenty of talent. The Seahawks clearly had a better offseason than the 49ers, and the Cardinals are a better team right now as long as Kurt Warner stays healthy. The return of Matt Hasselbeck should allow the Seahawks' offense to improve by five to six points a game. It would take a great season from Michael Crabtree to cause such a jump in the 49ers' offense. I'd say going in that the 49ers are third in the NFC West and not ready to be a winning team -- yet.
