When David Foster Wallace Taught Paul Thomas Anderson
January 6, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
In the fall of 1990, years before he published Infinite Jest, David Foster Wallace came on as an adjunct professor at Emerson College, in Boston. As D. T. Max writes in his biography, Every Love Story Is a Ghost Story, this wasn't such a hot time for Wallace. He was mentally unstable in those years, and actively ashamed of his latest collection of stories, Girl with Curious Hair; when the Emerson English department posted an advertisement for it, he tore it down. And teaching offered no reprieve from the problems he had with his writing and the culture at large. In a letter to Jonathan Franzen, he called his students "infants": "you almost have to cradle their heads to help their necks support the skull's weight." Were the youth simply too enamored of TV's easy charms? Max writes,
The students he was teaching made him feel the problem was worse than he had known. They were the Letterman generation he had imagined in [his short story] "My Appearance," proud of their knowingness. "They're all 'television' majors, whatever that means," he complained to [David] Markson, adding that he'd had his wrist slapped by his department for " 'frustrating' the students" with a DeLillo novel (he does not say which) by which he meant to wake them up … Wallace knew he did not want to stay at Emerson long.
Still, because he was fluent in TV, Wallace found himself popular with the students. And at least one of them came away emboldened by that "frustrating" experience with DeLillo: Paul Thomas Anderson, whose latest film, Inherent Vice, is in wide release this week. Read More »
What Scares The Paris Review?
October 31, 2014 | by The Paris Review
The book I find myself most often recommending—Grace Krilanovich's The Orange Eats Creeps—is perfect reading for tonight, or for any chilly evening, when the fallen leaves outside have begun to mold and decay in wet piles. I may originally have read it in the summer, but so thoroughgoing is its tone of paranoia, cold, rot, and subsumed violence that you can't easily separate yourself from the refracted narrative of the book's protagonist, an ESP-endowed teenage girl running with a group of "vampire hobo junkies" in the Pacific Northwest. She's searching for her foster sister, Kim, along the "highway That Eats People," and the novel reads like an Orphic descent into a bad dream within a bad dream, with the physical landscape—loamy, waterlogged, and dank—doubling as the psychic landscape: "The land was not to be trusted. Its climate had the potential to make those teetering on the edges of decency spill over into murderville … Psychos tried to plug up cracks with bodies, cloth, whatever's at hand." —Nicole Rudick
Scary things I remember: a hand coming out of a box on The Electric Company, the dying boar on the cover of my parents' Four Seasons LP (made them skip the Autumn movement), "Ode to Billy Joe," reading The Dead Zone by flashlight under the blanket at camp, The Shining (movie), The Exorcist (book), the prophecies of Nostradamus (had to hide the book), Let's Scare Jessica to Death on TV on a Sunday afternoon (Sunday afternoon movie), the Twilight Zone movie (had to leave theater), Eraserhead late at night alone in my parents' bedroom ("You are sick!"), the diner scene in Mulholland Drive (the compressed audio), the distortion of Laura Dern's face in Inland Empire, "Don't Crash" by Front 242, in the listening room at the school library (do these still exist?), Don't Look Now, Francis Bacon, Fleetwood Mac, The White Ribbon, the dream sequence in Amour, and the scary-doll movie Sadie made me see last month. The other things I've managed to forget. —Lorin Stein
Taylor Swift's "Track 3" recently made it to number one on Canadian iTunes. The track was a glitch, eight seconds of white noise. I'm open-minded, so I gave it a try, and by lunchtime I realized, rather suddenly, that "Track 3" was stuck in my head; Swift seemed to follow me into the void, filling it with something familiar yet indefinable. In "Track 3" she's mastered the Freudian uncanny, something that's frighteningly unknown but brings us back to something familiar. Freud once quoted Ernst Jentsch: "One of the most successful devices for easily creating uncanny effects is to leave the [listener] in uncertainty whether or not a particular figure … is a human being or an automaton." I maintain that Swift released "Track 3" in all its uncanniness to confess that she is, in fact, an automaton. If you think your costume is good, stew on that: Swift's has been better, every day, since 1989. —Alex Celia
Alex jests, but I do not: I really adore Taylor Swift. And that's scary. She's just released the best pop record of 2014: the most exhilarating, the most addictive, and also the most inscrutable, the most frustrating. Carl Wilson, the best pop critic writing today, understands—his review of 1989 uses Swift's famously undisclosed bellybutton as a metaphor through which to apprehend the entire Swiftian zeitgeist. He gazes into her navel "as umbilical nub," "as median point and sore spot," "as Jell-O shot dispenser," "as contemplative locus," "as camera aperture," "as teen-pop erogenous zone," "as pretty hate machine," "as the whitest thing on Earth," and "as the omphalos of capital," among others. No one has better identified the qualities that make her such a vital force in pop, so lucid and so obscure. "You could tug forever at the ends of Swift's elusive, invisible abdominal bundle of avarice and sentiment, art, ego, envy, love and hate, drought and flood, truth and fiction, savior and monster," Wilson writes, "and it would never come undone." If that's not horrifying … —Dan Piepenbring
There once was a time when the scariest thing imaginable was what one never saw: creaks in the floorboard, the rustling of branches against the window, whispers floating in the wind. It used to be that the monsters in horror films were never seen, which got under your skin: think of the spiral staircase of the original The Haunting, the eerie sobs of an unseen woman in The Uninvited, the psychological violence in later films like The Entity. Then slasher flicks and the "video nasties" of the early 1980s came, and we evolved into the terror porn of the Hostel series to laughable films like The Human Centipede. These films are indeed horrific, but are they scary? It's pretty unlikely that I'll stumble upon some sadistic German surgeon, but I turn the lights off every night. So it totally makes sense that The Blair Witch Project made millions of dollars—that last image in the basement is still ingrained in my head because—besides being absolutely terrifying—you never know who was behind the terror. (I still can't go camping without thinking of the film.) One recent film that stands out, and one that gets better with repeated viewings, is The Orphanage (2007). There's nothing innovative in the storytelling—haunted house, missing child—but it expertly builds the atmosphere of the remote orphanage and the characters who inhabit it. There aren't as many thrills as something like The Descent—a great example of what is still possible within creature features–but when the scares come they are genuine. The rest is waiting, anticipating, dreading; there's nothing scarier than what haunts one's imagination. —Justin Alvarez Read More »
Under the Volcano
July 21, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
I think that the difference right now between good art and bad art is that the good artists are the people who are, in one way or another, creating, out of deep and honest concern, a vision of life in the twentieth century that is worth pursuing. And the bad artists, of whom there are many, are whining or moaning or staring, because it's fashionable, into the dark abyss. If you believe that life is fundamentally a volcano full of baby skulls, you've got two main choices as an artist: You can either stare into the volcano and count the skulls for the thousandth time and tell everybody, "There are the skulls; that's your baby, Mrs. Miller." Or you can try to build walls so that fewer baby skulls go in. It seems to me that the artist ought to hunt for positive ways of surviving, of living.
That's John Gardner, from his Art of Fiction interview, which The Paris Review published in 1979—three years before Gardner died in a motorcycle accident. As far as lines in the literary sand go, this one seems defensible enough: make salutary art, wall off the volcano, protect the crania of your babies, et cetera. But here Gardner has given us the distillate of what had been, a few years earlier, a very controversial opinion; he's paraphrasing his thesis from On Moral Fiction, a polemical book of criticism in which he took to task nearly every prominent American writer, pissing off a good number of them in the process. As Dwight Garner wrote a few years ago, "It wasn't Gardner's thesis, exactly, that made him enemies. It was the way he indiscriminately fired buckshot in the direction of many of American literature's biggest names."
Pynchon? Too inclined to "winking, mugging despair."
Updike? "He brings out books that don't say what he means them to say. And you can't tell his women apart."
Barthelme? Merely a disciple of "newfangledness."
And the whole New Yorker crowd? Too into "that cold, ironic stuff … I think it's just wrapping for their Steuben glass."
If you're thinking that picking fights is a pretty poor way of seeding one's literary philosophy, you're completely correct. As Per Winther, the author of The Art of John Gardner, has written, "One cannot help but think that Gardner's cause would have benefited from less stridency of tone … What Gardner risked in couching his arguments in such bellicose terms was a hasty dismissal of his book and all its views."

What Talent Wants to Serve: An Interview with Donald Margulies
June 26, 2014 | by Zack Newick
The playwright Donald Margulies is at what he describes as a "delicious" point in his career. He's written the screenplay for The End of the Tour, an adaptation of David Lipsky's Although of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself that recently completed filming. His newest play, The Country House, opened June 3 in Los Angeles at the Geffen Playhouse, and begins New York previews September 9 at The Manhattan Theater Club's Samuel J. Friedman Theater. It's an "homage" to Chekhov, employing themes and images from Margulies's favorites: Uncle Vanya, The Cherry Orchard, and The Seagull. It's also his first play ostensibly about the theater itself. The play is an 'off-stage comedy' set during the Williamstown Theatre Festival, focusing on a family of actors who have returned to a familiar house in the Berkshires after the recent death of a beloved family member.
Margulies is the author of over a dozen plays, including The Model Apartment, Sight Unseen, and Dinner With Friends, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2000. He lives in New Haven with his wife; he has a son at college in Minnesota. His workspace is a series of rooms on the third floor of his home, walled by books, with windows overlooking his abundant backyard. When we spoke, first in his "bill-paying" room and then over fat sandwiches in New York, he appeared energized by his career's activity, as if even its description gave him inspiration. He is now at work on the book for a musical, an adaptation of Father of the Bride, which would be a first.
Has any of your writing for the screen begun as writing for the stage?
I've adapted three of my plays into screenplays—Sight Unseen, which has not been filmed, and Collected Stories and Dinner With Friends, both of which were produced for television—but I have never begun a play that I decided would be better served as a screenplay. In the case of my most recent screenplay, The End of the Tour, my long-time manager, David Kanter, sent me David Lipsky's book, Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself, with a note that said, "Take a look at this, there might be a play in it," because the book is almost entirely dialogue, the transcription of a four-day conversation between Lipsky and David Foster Wallace. I started reading it and was excited because I thought it did lend itself to adaptation—not for the stage but for the screen. I saw its potential as something much more expansive than two guys sitting around talking—namely a road picture. I was intrigued by the idea of seeing this iconic figure on the American landscape. The End of the Tour is consistent with themes that have interested me as a dramatist for forty years, which is what no doubt attracted me to it. Read More »
What We're Loving: Reckless Love, Love via Telegraph
June 20, 2014 | by The Paris Review
After reading David Constantine's story "In Another Country," which the Canadian publisher Biblioasis passed along to me, I can't figure out why a U.S. press hasn't caught on to his work. He's won a number of big prizes, including the Frank O'Connor International Short Story award twice—last year, he beat out Joyce Carol Oates, Deborah Levy, and Peter Stamm—and no wonder: this story has me wanting more. (Thankfully, Biblioasis will publish a selection of his stories next year.) The sentences are restrained, the tone muted. The remoteness between the husband and wife of the story is never described but is made palpable through the stillness in their interactions and the spareness of the prose, but the tension created by the slow unraveling of the past within the present is innervating: "What worried Mrs. Mercer suddenly took shape. Into the little room came a rush of ghosts. She sat down opposite him and both felt cold. That Katya, she said. Yes, he said. They've found her in the ice. I see, said Mrs. Mercer." If you get excited, as I do, by stories in which very little happens, then this one is for you. —Nicole Rudick
In 1949, Niki de Saint Phalle and Harry Mathews eloped together, both a bit shy of their twentieth birthdays. The ten-year marriage that followed saw joy, sorrow, electroshock therapy, disapproving parents, reprimanding neighbors, two children, suicidal episodes, numerous infidelities, artistic awakenings, homes in more than four countries, and, ultimately, insurmountable growing pains. In Harry and Me: 1950–1960, The Family Years, de Saint Phalle chronicles their famous, tumultous relationship in verse and image. A remarkably generous portrait of their time together—it includes sidebars of text written by Mathews in response to de Saint Phalle's account, in which he corrects and addends but never criticizes—this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the work of either artist. Their developmental years were spent in stride, and the naïveté that brought them together (and eventually drove them apart) was instrumental in shaping their artistic desires, particularly the whimsy and color that marks de Saint Phalle's sculpture. Though the relationship ends, the children suffer, and the hurt never truly goes away, neither party, many years later, seems to regret the marriage. Instead, they go to bat for the young, reckless love that directed the course of their lives. —Clare Fentress
Lots of people are nostalgic for rotary phones and handwritten letters. Not so many have the same wistfulness for the telegraph. But William Saroyan's "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8," from his 1934 short story collection The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze, has left me rethinking the old teletype machine and its nuanced relation to our digital age. The story tells of two telegraph operators, who meet—virtually—by striking up a conversation over the wires. Saroyan's depiction of the giddy thrill of instantaneous, faceless communication, in which half the fun is in the imagined possibilities, seems oddly anachronistic to the modern reader, but it also predicts the appeal of instant messaging and texting. From the first hello hello hello, the narrator realizes the untapped opportunity of his teletype machine as a personal device of contact, of love: "I had never thought of the machine as being related in any way to me … I began to try to visualize the girl. I began to wonder if she would go out with me to this house I wanted and help me fill it with our lives together." —Chantal McStay Read More »

Here's a Saturday rundown of what they're saying in South Florida. http://www.patsfans.com/price/blog/?q=node/488 Thanks, Chris
He JUST noticed that his QB getting the snot kicked outta him on a weekly basis is not a positive thing? Brilliant.
I think your reading that wrong tshirt. I think saban meant it like 'this is JUST why I did it'. he has been getting beaten down for awhile now though! I love it!
No, no.. Key word was noticed. He wasn't concerned, or worried about the beating his guy is taking, he wasn't surmising, or thinking his guy needed a break... he "just noticed that maybe" his guy getting beat on is not a positive thing.

(AP) -- New York Knicks point guard Jason Kidd intends to fight a charge that he was drunk when he crashed his SUV into a telephone pole in the Hamptons over the summer, his lawyer said Wednesday.Kidd, wearing a navy pinstriped suit and tie, said "good morning" to reporters outside Southampton Town Court on Long Island. But he didn't speak as he stood, back straight, facing the judge during his brief procedural appearance.When asked about the allegations, attorney Edward Burke Jr. told reporters, "We are defending that.""He is taking this very, very seriously," Burke said. "He wants to get this past him as quickly as possible. The legal process takes some time but he is ready for his season."Kidd was arrested in July, days after signing with the Knicks. He suffered minor injuries when the vehicle hit the pole and veered into the woods in the hamlet of Water Mill.The misdemeanor charge carries the potential for up to a year in jail.A few days after his arrest, Kidd said on Twitter that he regretted "any disruption my accident ... may have caused members of the community." He also said he wanted to "thank the local authorities."In another posting, Kidd thanked his family and friends for their support.The Knicks signed Kidd away from the Dallas Mavericks in a 3 million a year deal. Kidd had played in New Jersey, leading the Nets to two NBA Finals appearances, before being traded to Dallas.He helped the Mavericks win the 2011 NBA championship. Kidd is second on the NBA's career list in assists and steals.The two-time Olympic gold medalist has been in trouble with the law before. While playing with Phoenix in 2001, he was arrested on a domestic violence charge and acknowledged that he struck his former wife.His next court appearance is Nov. 7.

Romney Shifts Focus Following Controversial Comments
Description:Fighting criticism of his controversial remarks on government dependency, Republican challenger Mitt Romney said Wednesday that he would better help poor and middle class Americans than President Barack Obama. Romney and running mate Rep. Paul Ryan also sought to reshape the campaign narrative less than seven weeks before the November vote by accusing Obama of favoring wealth redistribution -- code for socialism among conservatives -- based on a 1998 video of Obama as a state Senate candidate.

From WikiLeaks to Mega-D, the Week in Security
From WikiLeaks to Mega-D, the Week in Security
Brian Prince
Posted 2010-12-05
WikiLeaks, the Mega-D botnet and online privacy led the way in cyber-security news this past week.
The saga that is the WikiLeaks controversy dominated security news this past week as governments around the world dealt with the fallout from the breach and the site dealt with denial-of-service attacks. WikiLeaks' posting of more than 250,000 diplomatic cables online for many highlighted
insider security and forced a re-examination
of security policies by the U.S. government. But it also drew attacks. Just hours before the site began posting the cables Nov. 28 it
experienced a denial-of-service attack
(DoS), reputedly at the hands of a hacker known as "The Jester." Another attack followed that one day later.
According to The New York Times
, among the cables was one quoting a Chinese person with "family connections to the elite" as saying the Chinese government directed the infamous Aurora attack on Google and other companies, something Chinese officials have denied in the past. Other cables discussed the conflicts between Google and China regarding censorship of the Internet.
As the controversy spiraled, Amazon decided to
stop hosting WikiLeaks
on its servers, a move the company contends was not made due to political pressure but instead because WikiLeaks had violated Amazon's terms of service. In addition, PayPal cut WikiLeaks online donation account during the week. Outside the WikiLeaks controversy, the U.S. government also made the news through a new
report by the Federal Trade Commission
on online privacy that proposed a "Do Not Track" mechanism to limit the tracking of online consumers by advertisers and companies. "For example, consumers are largely unaware of their ability to limit or block online tracking through their browsers, in part because these options may be difficult to find; further, those consumers who know about these options may be confused by the lack of clarity and uniformity among the browsers in how choices are presented and implemented," the report states.
"The most practical method of providing uniform choice for online behavioral advertising would likely involve placing a setting similar to a persistent cookie on a consumer's browser and conveying that setting to sites that the browser visits, to signal whether the consumer wants to be tracked or receive targeted advertisements," the report continues. Researchers also told eWEEK the situation could be addressed by requiring browsers to append a
string to HTTP headers
. The header approach would be a "binary flag," where the browser could turn it on for every HTTP connection, just third party sites or sites defined by the user, said Harlan Yu of the Center for Information Technology Policy at Princeton University. Protecting users drove a partnership between
Google and Adobe Systems
to bring sandboxing technology to a version of Flash Player bundled with Google Chrome 9.0.587.0, currently in Google's dev channel. "Over the next few months, we will be testing and receiving feedback on this project," Peleus Uhley, senior security strategist for the Adobe Secure Software Engineering Team, wrote in a blog post. "Since this is a distinctly different sandboxing code base from Internet Explorer, we are essentially starting from scratch. Therefore, we still have a few bugs that we are working through. We hope that we can use this experience as a platform for discussing sandbox approaches with the other browser vendors." But attackers were busy as well, targeting Facebook users in a
resurgence of an old
scam involving a bogus application promising to track who views user profiles. News also trickled out that the FBI had identified a man believed to be at the center of the Mega-D botnet, which once accounted for roughly a third of the world's spam. The man, 23-year-old
Oleg Nikolaenko, is accused
of receiving more than $464,000 during a roughly six-month period in 2007 to spam out e-mails for a crew of criminals specializing in the sale of fake goods. Nikolaenko has pleaded not guilty to the charges. "It's encouraging to see law enforcement agencies going after these bot-herding criminals," blogged Phil Hay, senior threat analyst with M86 Security. "Identifying and incapacitating the individuals behind the malware is one of the best ways to keep these giant spam-spewing systems in check."

MOSES, in God's name, did counsel Joshua, Deut. xxxi. 23: Be strong, and of a good courage, for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them. God immediately did command him, Josh. i. 6: Be strong, and of a good courage; and again, ver. 7: Only be thou strong and very courageous; and again, ver. 9: Have not I commanded thee? be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed. Lastly, the Reubenites 108and Gadites heartily desired him, ver. 18: Only be strong and of a good courage.
Was Joshua a dunce, or a coward? did his wit or his valour want an edge, that the same precept must so often be pressed upon him? No doubt neither; but God saw it needful that Joshua should have courage of proof, who was to encounter both the froward Jew and the fierce Canaanite.
Though metal on metal, colour on colour, be false heraldry, line on line, precept on precept, [Is. xxviii. 10.] is true divinity.
Be not therefore offended, O my soul, if the same doctrine be often delivered unto thee by different preachers: if the same precept, like the sword in Paradise, which turned every way, [Gen. iii. 24.] doth hunt and haunt thee, tracing thee which way soever thou turnest, rather conclude that thou art deeply concerned in the practice thereof, which God hath thought fit should be so frequently inculcated into thee.

Cloud computing suggests that we can move computers from the desktop onto the network. In this article, we investigate whether we can do the same with digital imaging devices. After all, for most of us, the practical management of local storage on digital cameras is a messy business, keeping track of all those secure digital (SD) memory cards and then figuring out which computer they are stored on. For most family units or socially organized groups, the sensible end point for a collection of images is on shared network storage where everyone can access and contribute to the image collection. So, we consider 1) the current state of art in device connectivity; 2) the current status of digital imaging devices and image/video data requirements; and 3) we put together a proof of concept to test our hypothesis that cameras do not really need local storage any more, and yes, you could actually start to put your photographs directly into the clouds.

Personnel Security Clearances:
Actions Needed to Help Ensure Correct Designations of National Security Positions

What GAO Found
In July 2012, GAO reported that the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), as Security Executive Agent, had not provided executive branch agencies clearly defined policy and procedures to consistently determine if a position requires a personnel security clearance. Absent this guidance, agencies are using an Office of Personnel Management (OPM) position designation tool to determine the sensitivity and risk levels of civilian positions which, in turn, inform the type of investigation needed. OPM audits, however, found inconsistency in these position designations, and some agencies described problems implementing OPM's tool. For example, in an April 2012 audit OPM assessed the sensitivity levels of 39 positions, and its designations differed from the agency in 26 positions. Problems exist, in part, because OPM and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) did not collaborate on the development of this tool, and because their respective roles for suitability and security clearance reform are still evolving. As a result, to help determine the proper designation, GAO recommended that the DNI, in coordination with the Director of OPM, issue clearly defined policy and procedures for federal agencies to follow when determining if federal civilian positions require a security clearance. The DNI concurred with this recommendation. In May 2013, the DNI and OPM jointly drafted a proposed revision to the federal regulation on position designation which, if finalized in its current form, would provide additional requirements and examples of position duties at each sensitivity level. GAO also recommended that once those policies and procedures are in place, the DNI and the Director of OPM, in their roles as Executive Agents, collaborate to revise the position designation tool to reflect the new guidance. ODNI and OPM concurred with this recommendation and recently told GAO that they are revising the tool.
GAO also reported in July 2012 that the DNI had not established guidance to require agencies to periodically review and revise or validate existing federal civilian position designations. GAO reported that Department of Defense (DOD) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) component officials were aware of the requirement to keep the number of security clearances to a minimum, but were not always required to conduct periodic reviews and validations of the security clearance needs of existing positions. GAO found that without such a requirement, executive branch agencies may be hiring and budgeting for initial and periodic security clearance investigations using position descriptions and security clearance requirements that do not reflect current national security needs. Further, since reviews are not done consistently, executive branch agencies cannot have assurances that they are keeping the number of positions that require security clearances to a minimum. Therefore, GAO recommended in July 2012 that the DNI, in coordination with the Director of OPM, issue guidance to require executive branch agencies to periodically review and revise or validate the designation of all federal civilian positions. As of October 2013, ODNI and OPM are finalizing revisions to the federal regulation on position designation. While the proposed regulation requires agencies to conduct a one-time reassessment of position designation within 24 months of the final rule's effective date, it does not require a periodic reassessment of positions' need for access to classified information. GAO continues to believe that periodic reassessment is important.
Why GAO Did This Study
Personnel security clearances allow individuals access to classified information that, through unauthorized disclosure, can in some cases cause exceptionally grave damage to U.S. national security. A sound requirements process to determine whether a national security position requires access to classified information is needed to safeguard classified data and manage costs. The DNI reported that more than 4.9 million federal government and contractor employees held or were eligible to hold a security clearance in 2012. GAO has reported that the federal government spent over $1 billion to conduct background investigations (in support of security clearances and suitability determinations--the consideration of character and conduct for federal employment) in fiscal year 2011.
This testimony addresses policies and procedures executive branch agencies use when (1) first determining whether federal civilian positions require a security clearance and (2) periodically reviewing and revising or validating existing federal civilian position security clearance requirements. This testimony is based on a July 2012 GAO report (GAO-12-800), in which GAO (1) reviewed relevant federal guidance and processes, (2) examined agency personnel security clearance policies, (3) obtained and analyzed an OPM tool used for position designation, and (4) met with officials from ODNI and OPM because of their Directors' assigned roles as Security and Suitability Executive Agents. Because DOD and DHS grant the most security clearances, that report focused on the security clearance requirements of federal civilian positions within those agencies.

As we searched for the right image to feature on this month's cover—something timely, and unusually provocative, smart, and beautiful—we realized that all our descriptors still apply, but that "beauty" has become an elusive ideal. Design's expressions—product design in this case, but we may as well be talking about design at every scale—have become more complex than the foreground objects we celebrated in the last century.

CAREERS AND EDUCATION: Innovative degree programs for Bay Area changemakers
According to the Princeton Review, that bicep-straining tome of college rankings responsible for many a young adult's breakdown, most of the perennially popular majors (psychology, economics, communications, political science) are still alive and kicking. But plenty of alternative, even radical fields of study are blossoming that meld academic inquiry with tangible work towards change.

Johnny Depp on Set After Date With Amber Heard
Johnny Depp Arrives on Set After a Steamy Night With Amber Heard
Johnny Depp popped up on the set of Transcendence in LA yesterday. He sported a pair of Dita sunglasses and was joined by costar Rebecca Hall as well as a body double for the day of shooting. The sci-fi thriller also stars Morgan Freeman and Kate Mara and focuses on a pair of computer scientists fighting against an anti-technology organization. Johnny has been busy promoting his other film The Lone Ranger with Armie Hammer as well. The two teamed up to release a trailer for the movie during CinemaCon in Las Vegas earlier this month.
Between his big-screen projects, Johnny has been making time for fun — and a little flirting. He attended a secret Rolling Stones concert with his The Rum Diary costar Amber Heard over the weekend, and the two were spotted holding hands during the show before leaving together in a black SUV. Johnny and Amber's PDA marks the first time they've put their romantic connection in the spotlight, though they were rumored to have gotten close while working on 2011's The Rum Diary.

Premier Ed Stelmach's announcement of his decision not to seek re-election was an action typical of the man — to achieve what he believed is right, he sacrificed himself. Stelmach wanted the upcoming budget to meet infrastructure needs and provide jobs for Albertans. He would not accept fiscal masochism obsessed with the bottom line. In the odd logic of that political moment, Stelmach saw that the only way he could get the budget through his caucus was to resign. more . . .
The great Jewish prophets, the forerunners of Jesus, coined a mantra which ran something like this: The quality of your faith will be judged by the quality of justice in the land and the quality of justice in the land will be judged by how "widows, orphans and strangers" (biblical code for the three most vulnerable groups in society) fared while you were alive. more . . .
I have been fascinated with heaven for at least half a century, ever since I talked to an old lady, my grandma's friend, who told me that she regularly sees and talks to her deceased family members who, as she bluntly put it, are in heaven.

In the words of a Nissan public relations person, meet the "second best-looking van in Chicago." That's right, Nissan's taxi-friendly NV200 has donned a Bowtie here in the Windy City and been branded the 2015 Chevrolet City Express.
If you're thinking, "hey, that looks familiar..." you aren't alone. We've already seen photos of the 2015 Chevrolet City Express van. And before that, we've already learned everything there is to know about the Nissan NV200 upon which its quite obviously based. Now, though, the City Express is holding its official coming out party at the Chicago Auto Show, and we finally have the official details about what'll hopefully make this van attractive to work-minded buyers.
Your eyes do not deceive you – that is, in fact, a Nissan NV200 work van with Chevrolet badging. General Motors and Nissan today announced a partnership where the Japanese automaker will build Bowtie-badged vans for Chevy dealers to sell throughout the United States and Canada. The new van, called the City Express, is expected to go on sale in the fall of 2014.

Oh my goodness!!! Talk about major cuteness. This litter is exceptionally cute. They already have really pretty faces so I can only imagine how beautiful they will look when grown. I hope things come together and you get that special puppy or two or three. I wish you lots of luck. And I agree with Lynda, I really wish I was your neighbor.

Wedding: 6/1/2013
They arrived early and stayed late. They were a pleasure to work with, and I can't wait to see the video!
Wedding: 4/13/2013
Becuase my husband and I both work in the film and communications business, we know how important it is to capture life's most important moments on camera. When we started planning our wedding, there was no question that we would invest in a videographer. Our first step was to choose the right videography team that could capture exactly what we wanted using the highest quality cameras and audio equipment. The team was extremely professional and courteous during our meetings, phone calls and most importantly, on the big day. They arrived promptly on the wedding day and worked hard to capture every important moment of our wedding day. They used several cameras during the ceremony to record various angles. The audio equipment was high-quality and clear. Another beautiful touch was the high quality case our video was delivered in. They used beautiful photos on the cover of the case and the DVD. Everytime we watch the video, it takes us back to our special day. We would reccommend this company to anyone planning a wedding. We love our video and we'll cherish it forever!
Wedding: 12/12/2012
I found Collabcreations to be a phenomenal vendor! My husband and I agreed early on that we wanted to do a video and we wanted to make sure we picked the right company. My best friend who is a wedding planner at TPC referred me to Collabcreations and Josh and I couldn't be any happier with our video and footage. They were extremely professional from the first time we met them by asking us questions about ourselves to give them a little bit of background on us to showing us a couple samples of their work. When we left our meeting we were 100% confident that the team at Collabcreations would do a stellar job and they sure did! We kept in communication regarding contracts and wedding day agendas on a weekly basis and this made us feel very comfortable in knowing that they were professional and that they would be there when it was go time! On the day of the wedding they arrived early to set up and if they hadn't introduced themselves to everyone so kindly we may have never even known they were in the room. That's how amazing this team is!!!! There's enough chaos as it is on a wedding day and for them to be to create such an amazing story without ever being in the way is quite an accomplishment. We eagerly awaited our video and sure enough as soon as we saw it we were absolutely amazed. It was perfect, it was our story and it was beautiful and we couldn't have ever dreamed of anything better. Thank you COllabcreations! We would use you again and we will refer you to anyone we come into contact with that wants a videographer! Hats off to your team, you did an AWESOME job and we can't thank you enough!!!
Wedding: 4/14/2012
My husband and I were not big fans of being in front of the video camera. I was actually going to pass up on having a videographer but after months of convincing by my mom I agreed and could not have been happier. Collab creations were very personable, professional and made everyone in our wedding party very comfortable. They were very flexible with our busy schedule the day of the wedding. The team spent plenty of time with both the groom/groomsmen and bride/ bridesmaids. They're work is fabulous, creative and definitely worth it. The day went by so quickly that when we watch the video we were able to see things that we never noticed at the wedding because we were so busy attending to our guests. It will definitely be a video we watch together on our anniversary every year. It's a great way to hold on to those special moments on our most special day as husband and wife. I would definitely recommend collab creations to anyone and everyone!!
Wedding: 12/7/2012
I can not say enough wonderful words about Collab Creation Films! I was that bride that waited until the last minute to book my videographer... now I know that it was fate :) Eric and the Collab team are rockstar videographers and were totally worth the wait! From start to finish they were a dream. They showed up early the day of the wedding, captured the day without being intrusive and even stayed the extra hour I requested last minute.
I am so incredibly in LOVE with my wedding video! Their coverage, editing, and final product presentation were on point! EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED
Wedding: 10/12/2012
I don't think anyone can do wedding cinematography better than Eric Torres and his crew at CollabCreation. It's not your usual wedding video. It's your wedding, it shouldn't look like Joe Shmoe with a handheld camcorder taped your wedding. That's what sets Eric apart from the rest; he takes your day and turns it into a cinematographic production worthy of the hard work, sweat, and tears you've put into it. The result is a little movie, yes a movie, of your special day complete with your own soundtrack and story line. It is truly a work of art. Save your pennies and splurge because this is something you will have for a lifetime. It deserves the amount of attention and dedication Eric gives to it.
Wedding: 4/30/2011
Eric and the rest of the CollabCreation team were wonderful to work with! We would recommend them to everyone! We were so thankful that one of my friends used them at their wedding and we could see how they worked. They were great, personable and awesome to work with from start to finish. They got to know us and what we liked and wanted, and we got to know them. They are very down to earth, and I think that's why they were so easy to work with. They are professional and we received our wedding video in a timely matter. We absolutely LOVED our wedding video and all our friends and family. Our wedding day was so hectic and I barely remembered anything. But Eric and is team helped us to remember the entire day, and it was in such a beautiful way. Eric is very talented and really captured our wedding day. Words can't describe how happy we are with everything!! Thank you so much Eric and the CollabCreation team for letting us relive our wedding day forever!!
Wedding: 6/17/2011
We could not have been more pleased with Collab Creation. I would recommend them to anyone! The professionalism and talent just can't be topped! They are so accommodating and really take the time to get to know you and your style. My husband and I, along with both sets of our parents, were so pleased with their work. They were a fly on the wall on our wedding day! They captured every special moment and you didn't even realize they were there! The end result was exactly what I had dreamed of and I am so thankful that I chose them to capture the memories that I will relive and watch again and again for the rest of my life! Honestly, they do not disappoint and if you are not sure about getting a videographer definitely get one and go with Collab creation!

Westside Coffee Date suggestions
- j
- jadekarrde Dec 7, 2009 11:53 AM
- 11
- Follow
I'm meeting a friend for coffee and a sort of 'get to know each other better' first date tonight. I initially said Intelligentsia, because it's where I go on the westside for great coffee (and I usually wind up writing for a while there, though I'm not a writer by trade).
But on second thought, the vibe isn't that great for relaxing or for conversing. she's a native Californian and therefore gets cold easily, so sitting outside at Intelligentsia would be a no. Something about the vibe at the Venice Intelligentsia would just set people on a date on edge, imo.
Then when checking their hours on their website it says they're only open til 8 on Mondays, which surprised me because I thought they were open til 11 Sunday-Thursday and til midnight on Friday and Saturday (yeah I've been there a lot) but there's no response to their phone number, so I'm just just preemptively canceling it to avoid troubles.
Which is too bad because I'd thought that walking across the street to conclude the evening with some gelato from N'ice Cream would have been fun.
So now I'm looking for a nice place to have a long lingering cup of coffee (not a meal really) and a pleasant conversation. I think the Santa Monica Urth Cafe will probably be my best bet, I remember it having a large fireplace inside the one time I was there, but I think most of their seating is outside and I'd hate to be stuck outside.
Talking Stick is comfy but too divey, and I imagine it being too loud to hear each other.
Are there any coffee places I'm unaware of on the westside that would be good place to go, quiet, but nice seating and comfortable?
re: goodhealthgourmet
I'd agree with those, and add the Coral Tree Cafe on San Vicente in Brentwood. The place is huge, so people might not be on top of you as much.
re: SpudEats
i like Coral Tree, but the size can be a bit of problem in terms of acoustics. it gets extremely noisy in there when it's crowded, and sound carries when it's not - so your private conversation is sometimes not so private. the outdoor tables are nice as long as the place isn't too busy...because when they are, they tend to cram as many people as possible out there and you can end up practically sitting in some stranger's lap!
then again, i haven't been there since the fire, so if they remodeled perhaps that has all changed...?
thanks for all the suggestions. Literati is a place I've always meant to try but never been to. I also decided because of the rain to look at restaurants as well, even if just for coffee and dessert, though it may upgrade to dinner as well, we'll see.
Considering the weather, I'd like to stay off Wilshire though, so I probably won't go for Literati this time around.

re: jadekarrde
The coffee at Literati is awful. Check out Funnel Mill on Broadway or Caffe Luxxe on Montana.
re: Azizeh
I believe Funnel Mill is open until 9pm, but it sounds like that may still be too early for the OP. Cafe Balcony would have been perfect, but according to their website, they're still looking for a new location.
