Friday August 27, 1999
Who hasn't wondered where today's ideas for movies could possibly have come from. Or why some writers seem to flourish while others, equally talented, get bogged down in the slough of despond. Albert Brooks lets you in on a need-to-know show business secret: It's all due to "The Muse."
In Greek mythology, the Muses were nine daughters of Zeus, each responsible for inspiring a different facet of creativity. But what if one of these remarkable women were alive today and found her way to Hollywood? Whom would she be able to help, how would she manage it, and what kind of chaos would it cause to have a Muse on your payroll?
This is the charming conceit of "The Muse," starring, directed by and co-written (with longtime collaborator Monica Johnson) by Brooks, just the person to turn out the sharpest inside Hollywood comedy in quite awhile.
A poet of exasperated comic desperation who grew up in the business (his father was a celebrated performer known as Parkyakarkus), Brooks did stand-up before he went wider with his singular brand of humor and hard-wired it into films like "Mother," "Defending Your Life," "Real Life," "Lost in America" and "Modern Romance."
Because Brooks' comedy is inextricably linked to his on-screen persona of someone frantically trying to cope with existence without benefit of the proper instruction manual, his co-stars are especially important. And when he cast Sharon Stone as Sarah the show-biz Muse, he made a wonderful choice.
Though her career has been built on very different kinds of roles, one of Stone's earliest parts was in another inside Hollywood comedy, the underappreciated "Irreconcilable Differences," and her sure-handed, gleeful work in "The Muse" plays well against Brooks' anxiety and underlines her own real gift for confident verbal humor.
When we first meet Brooks' character, screenwriter Steven Phillips, he's sharing the pride of a Hollywood humanitarian award with his wife, Laura (a warm Andie MacDowell, also well cast), and the thought that he might need the help of a Muse, or anyone else for that matter, is far from his thoughts.
But come the following week, at a lunch with heartless studio executive Josh Martin (a clever Mark Feuerstein) to discuss his new script, the ax falls. "Let me put it in a form that isn't too insulting," Josh says, overflowing with bogus concern. "It's no good."
The script is so no good, it transpires, that it's beyond notes, beyond even keeping Steven on his current studio retainer. "The problem with the script is you," the exec insists, presumably still trying not to be too insulting. "You've lost your edge."
Flailing around for any source of support or advice, Steven goes to see old friend and lately very successful screenwriter Jack Warrick (Jeff Bridges in a rare small role). When he drives up to his pal's Bel-Air house, he sees Jack solicitously putting Sarah into a taxi and though he thinks there's a sexual connection, Jack proceeds to set him straight.
Remember that Greek myth about the Muses?, he asks. "What if I told you they still exist." With Sarah's help, he says, sounding like a convert to creative Viagra, "you'll write better than you've ever written in your whole life." "I want in. This is what I need," Steven insists, setting the stage for a movie that proves, once again, that it pays to be careful what you wish for.
For Sarah turns out to be very much of an L.A. Muse: a bossy, super-demanding prima donna who has to be courted with gifts from Tiffany and set up in rooms--and, mind you, not just any rooms on any floor--in the posh Four Seasons Hotel. Plus, Sarah doesn't seem to really do anything. She just . . . inspires.
Naturally, all this makes even Steven's understanding wife, Laura, more than a little suspicious, but Sarah smooths that over. In fact, she's soon making changes in Laura's life as well, and, like the Muse Who Came to Dinner, moving into the Phillips' Pacific Palisades home without any immediate plans for departure.
Brooks and co-writer Johnson have a great ear for the cultural rites and foibles of Hollywood, and "The Muse" is enlivened at numerous points by deft pokes at studio mores, like the humiliations Steven has to endure, including the lack of a coveted drive-on pass, when he wangles an appointment to meet with Steven Spielberg on the Universal lot.
Helping the satiric edge is the film's adroit use of real-life cameos. Studio exec Josh, for instance, takes time out from telling Oscar-nominated Steven he can't write to assure handsome Lorenzo Lamas that his script is brilliant. And both James Cameron and Martin Scorsese make brief, pleasantly self-deprecating appearances as directors who have been helped by Sarah, though when Rob Reiner shows up and thanks her for "American President," it's hard not to wonder who is kidding whom.
Underneath all its humor, "The Muse" manages to casually deal with some fascinating issues, such as the nature of creativity and inspiration and the important role belief has in making things happen. After all, as someone says, "This is Hollywood. People here believe anything."
The Muse, 1999. PG-13, for brief nudity. Released by USA/October Films. Director Albert Brooks. Producer Herb Nanas. Executive producer Barry Berg. Screenplay Albert Brooks & Monica Johnson. Cinematographer Thomas Ackerman. Editor Peter Teschner. Costumes Betsy Cox. Music Elton John. Production design Dina Lipton. Art director Marc Dabe. Set decorator Anne D. McCulley. Running time: 1 hour, 37 minutes. Albert Brooks as Steven Phillips. Sharon Stone as Sarah. Andie MacDowell as Laura Phillips. Jeff Bridges as Jack Warrick.

There are a lot of good reasons for parents to follow the "safe sleeping" techniques for infants touted by the Albany County Safe Sleeping Task Force and County Executive Dan McCoy. The fact is, of the 12 infant deaths in the county attributed to unsafe sleeping over the past three years, the majority were caused by a parent accidentally smothering a child while co-sleeping – a tragedy that is easily preventable.
While declaring Wednesday, Sept. 18, Safe Sleep Day, the task force also unveiled the newest slogan in its outreach efforts: "ABC," which stands for "Alone on their Backs in a Crib." A good slogan is catchy and easy to remember, and this one certainly fits the bill. However, in reality, very little in parenting can be distilled down to something as simple as "ABC." Decisions about how to best raise a child are based on far more nuanced details, and it would be wrong to assume that parents aren't able to come to their own valid conclusions without the help of a snappy slogan.
On his Facebook page, McCoy has caught flak from some bed-sharing proponents who accused him of running a "smear campaign." While this is hardly the case, parents who do co-sleep with their infants are feeling unnecessarily villainized. Even as they promoted their safe-sleeping recommendations, county officials acknowledged the reasons some parents choose to co-sleep with their infants. McCoy said the changing weather can prompt some parents to let their "babies sleep in their bed for warmth," and Kathy Marsch, interim chief nursing officer at St. Peter's, recognized the conflicting information about infant sleeping practices over the years has some parents confused. But both joined a number of other health professionals in calling bed sharing a dangerous practice.
It is easy to see that the county has the best interests of its very youngest residents in mind, but it does well to remember that their parents have their best interests in mind, too.

'Dogfight' musical adaptation opens Off-Broadway
The musical adaptation of the 1991 film Dogfight opened at Off-Broadway's Second Stage Theatre on July 16. This stage production is directed by two-time Tony Award winning Joe Mantello. A former actor, Mantello played Louis Ironson in the original Broadway production of "Angels in America." Mantello is best known for directing "Wicked" and "Assassins" on Broadway.
Other Broadway veterans round out the creative team. Musical theater songwriting team Benj Pasek and Justin Paul provide the music and lyrics. Pasek and Paul, recipients of the 2007 Jonathan Larson Award, composed music and lyrics for "Edges," "James and the Giant Peach," and "A Christmas Story: the Musical!." "Newsies" Tony Award winner Christopher Gatelli prepared the choreography and Peter Duchan penned the book.
"Dogfight" stars Lindsay Mendez and Derek Klena. Mendez recently appeared in "Godspell" and Klena appeared in the musical adaptation of "Carrie." Other cast members of this musical include Annaleigh Ashford, Josh Segarra, Dierdre Friel, Becca Ayers, Steven Booth, Adam Halpin, F. Michael Haynie, Nick Blaermire, and James Moye. The Washington Post writes of Annaleigh Ashford, "very close to stealing every scene."
Matthew Murray of TalkinBroadway.com wrote about the stage chemistry of Klena and Mendez. He stated, "Klena (recently seen as Tommy in Carrie) and Mendez display superb chemistry that blooms as Birdlace and Rose build (and occasionally break) bonds of trust; their relationship develops so gradually and so smoothly, you may be pardoned for not figuring out whether they're in love before they do."
Klena credited his real life friendship with co-star Mendez to giving the production its spark. In an interview on Broadway.com Klena stated, "We can share almost anything with each other." He also said, "I've been lucky enough to move out here and be part of two great productions with great groups of people, so I've never really felt homesick or lonely…It's a great job to be in musical theater because you get to go to work with your best friends."
River Phoenix and Lili Taylor were the leads in the 1991 film. Set on the eve of the Kennedy assassination on November 21, 1963, Dogfight chronicles the story of a Marine named Eddie Birdlace. Before shipping out to Vietnam, Birdlace and his friends make a bet: The man who finds the ugliest girl to take out on a date wins a cash prize. On his date with Mendez's character, Birdlace discovers compassion and voices his fears about war. The show explores the themes of masculinity in the 1960's, misogyny, the homecoming of soldiers, and the loss of innocence.
The Washington Post said "Dogfight" "is a sweet show studded with impressive songs from a deservedly up-and-coming duo…it never loses its genuine and charming soul." The Associated Press also stated, "Pasek and Paul show real maturity and variety in their songs." Thom Geier of Entertainment Weekly writes, "The score...includes some arresting songs: The Marines' lively opening trio 'Some Kinda Time' and the duet 'First Date/Last Night' are melodic standouts."
"Dogfight" runs through August 19 at the Second Stage Theatre. For a full schedule of performances visit the theater's official website.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - The Mormon church has a new campaign to encourage its members to be more compassionate toward gays and lesbians.
Church authorities insist they aren't changing the Mormon teaching that same-sex relationships are sinful.
However, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints says it wants to foster more understanding of homosexuality among Mormons and a more civil conversation about the issue.
The LDS church is making the push through a new website leaders launched Thursday.
Mormons faced intense criticism after church leaders helped fund the fight for California's Proposition 8. The 2008 ballot measure put in place a ban on gay marriage.
Church authorities said they were stunned by the backlash. Since then, the church has been trying to reach out to gays and lesbians to heal tensions.

I just paid my so-called "water" bill. It was the smallest part of the bill, $22.20. Quite a few years ago it also became a sewer bill.
Then, as it always goes when big business and big government think they've found a good new way to sock it to us, soon it was also a "fire protection" bill. Now it's also a garbage bill! The $22.20 became a bill for $89.87.
As the mayor says, a tax is a tax is a tax is a tax. Just do it the honest way (if we can call it that) instead of saying, "hey people, we're not going to raise taxes." What a crock!

Ellwood City creche finds home at former church after threat of legal action
As Ellwood City Mayor Anthony Court stood near a figurine of baby Jesus on Sunday, a pastor quietly urged him to set aside his bitterness over the handling of a controversy surrounding the borough's former Nativity display.
Court was not ready to turn the other cheek.
"It doesn't sit well with me," Court said as more than 100 people assembled in the rain along Fifth Street to celebrate the placement of a new creche outside a former church being redeveloped as a restaurant.
The Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation had threatened to sue Ellwood City over the placement of a creche outside the municipal building, its holiday home for more than a half-century. Borough council voted 4-2 last December to remove it rather than wage a potentially costly legal battle.
"For those people to come into our city to oppose what has been a lovable tradition for more than 55 years, I think it's just wrong. I think our council lacked courage to not stand up to them," Court said before a ceremony to bless the new creche at the former St. Agatha Roman Catholic Church.
"They may be able to change to change our spot, but they can't change our beliefs," Court said.
Ellwood City Councilwoman Judith Dici said her vote to remove the creche from borough property was a difficult one that many people received poorly.
"No one wanted to move it, but as a councilwoman, I'm a caretaker of the borough's money. I couldn't in good faith vote to fight a battle that our solicitor said was a no-win," said Dici, who attended Sunday's ceremony.
Local attorney Joseph Bellissimo, 43, said borough officials approached him about placing a creche outside the former church, which he bought with business partner and attorney Gene Dimeo. Bellissimo said he paid for the 12-piece display but declined to reveal how much.
"This isn't about the money. Ellwood City is a town that's going to show its faith," Bellissimo said after handing out red-and-white yard signs to attendees that read, "Ellwood The City With the Nativity."
Those on hand said they were thankful for the new creche.
"I'm bitter it can't be where it was for 50-plus years, but people are here because they want to keep Christ in Christmas, and that's a good thing," said Mike Parisi, 54, of Ellwood City.
A Freedom From Religion Foundation leader said on Sunday that she was satisfied with the outcome.
"We're very pleased this got resolved in a way that upheld the First Amendment and the separation between church and state," foundation Co-president Annie Laurie Gaylor said. "We have no objection to displays on private property. As far as we're concerned, this is a happy ending for all."

In 1900 the Department of Physical Culture and Athletics had only one woman member, an assistant in charge of physical training for women. By 1924 the Department of Physical Education was established with four departments: inter-collegiate athletics, physical education for men, physical education for women, and intramural games. By that year every member of the women's staff was a graduate of a physical education school and a major field of study in Women's Physical Education was established. The women's physical education program became a pioneer in the development of graduate study and professional training. Elizabeth Halsey headed the department from 1924-1955. M.Gladys Scott, who received the first Ph.D. in women's physical education from the University of Iowa in 1937, succeeded Halsey as department chair from 1955-1974. Margaret Fox (1974-1978), N. Peggy Burke (1978-1987), Yvonne (Bonnie Slatton (1987-2000), and Susan Birrell (2000- ) followed in succession as department chairpersons.
The athletic/physical education departments were later reorganized in a variety of configurations including the Department of Physical Education and Dance (1976-1987), Physical Education and Sport Studies (housed within the Division of Physical Education) (1987-1993), the Department of Sport, Health, Leisure and Physical Studies (1993-2000), the Department of Health, Leisure and Sport Studies (2000-2001) and the Department of Health and Sport Studies (2001- ). Physical education is no longer offered as a field of study.
The Women's Athletic Association (WAA), an intramural organization with both an athletic and social focus, was organized in 1911 to "promote a spirit of fair play and sportsmanship among girls." The Association was comprised of various clubs, including Orchesis (dance), Seals (swimming) and others for outing, hockey, canoeing, archery, badminton, tennis, basketball, and handicrafts. The group sponsored tournaments, play days, classes in social dancing, and all-freshmen parties. In 1941, the name of the organization changed to the Women's Recreation Association (WRA). The WAA/WRA provided college women opportunities to participate in sports, either intramural or as a member of a sport club, as there were no varsity sport teams available for women at The University of Iowa until the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Intercollegiate athletics for women at The University of
Iowa originated in the Department of Physical Education for Women in the late
1960s and early 1970s and maintained that association until 2000. This relationship stemmed from the philosophy
of the women physical educators and the value they placed on education and
women-centered and controlled sport. In 1973, Christine
Grant was appointed Director of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women, a position
she held until her retirement in August 2000.
Following Grant's retirement, the women's and men's athletic departments
were merged, ending

This is such a cute little fleece pullover hoodie. I love the way Nikita makes their collars on all of their sweatshirts and hoodies - they are a little bit wider, giving you a little bit more style than just a plain' ol hoodie. I use this fleece for layering when snowboarding and it keeps me nice and warm, and its super cute to wear around the lodge apres ski! Well done Nikita!

Sunday February 22, 2004Softball Suffers Second Loss of Season
Houston, TX
Houston, TX
The Florida softball team suffered its second loss of the season with a 7-4 loss to Centenary in the final game of the Crowne Plaza Classic in Houston, Texas. The Gators could not get a hit until the bottom of the sixth inning and gave up nine hits in the loss.
Florida scored its first run in the bottom of the second inning Lacy Howard scored from second on an error by the Centenary catcher.
The Ladies came back in the top of the fourth. With two outs and runners on second and third Ursula Maroski hit a RBI single to right field. Centenary went up 2-1 as Dana Davis stole home on a double steal with runners at first and third.
Centenary added five more runs in the top of the fifth. Janis Kelley led off the inning with a walk. Lory Kowaleski hit a bunt single to advance Kelley. Maroski hit a base hit to left field to load the bases. Amanda Knowles came in the game to replace Florida starter Jenny Gladding in the pitching circle. Lauren Brownlee hit an RBI single to right field. Then Traci Smith drew a walk with bases loaded to put the Ladies up 4-1. Jordan Lansdale hit a bases clearing double for Centenarys final three runs.
Florida added a run in the bottom of the sixth as Lindsey Cameron crushed a ball out of the park for Floridas first hit of the game.
The Gators staged a two-out rally in the bottom of the seventh on three straight doubles by Mylin Prieto, Gladding and Lindsay Norfleet. The two runs were not enough and Florida ended an 11-game losing streak with a 7-4 loss.
Gladding received the loss for Florida, her second of the season. Cheyenne Daries earned the win for Centenary.
The Gators return to action this weekend at the Cox Communications Classic at the Florida Softball Stadium. The tournament runs Friday through Sunday and features Winthrop, Jacksonville, Western Michigan, Gardner-Webb and Connecticut

Was coming down West rd/Santa Gertrudes towards whittier blvd today and as i was descending, an escalade saw me and stopped at the stop sign then as i got closer, drove up a little and stopped in the middle of the road so I can crash into him. He then kept driving and as i was passing him, he stopped, rolled his window down and cussed me out. He drove a little bit longer, stopped again and then cussed me out again. he then stopped at the intersection of Janine and SG and waited for me pass him again just to give me one more piece of his mind I stopped at the chase bank and let him pass and got his license plate. Once I got home, I called some friends from Whittier PD and asked them what i can do and they told me since he did not chase me and try to hit me and since the original event did not happen in front of an officer, there is nothing I can do
Wanted to give a warning to all cyclists who ride that road to be on the lookout for a Cream Color, Cadillac escalade, CA License# 6NYR306. Male driver, short, bald, dark skin and was wearing a Red USC hoodie.

NBC counters: no iTunes pricing flexibility
updated 04:55 pm EDT, Sat September 1, 2007
NBC: iTunes pricing fixed
Continuing the public jousting, NBC Universal (NBCU) claims it never asked to double the wholesale price--as Apple claimed--and insists its network shows will be sold by the iTunes Store through early December. NBCU also said that Apple needs do more about piracy and that Apple's iTunes pricing strategy is hurting content providers. The statements made by NBCU execs directly counter a press release made by Apple on Friday morning and appear to be yet another move by the network to put public pressure on Apple to bring the popular shows to the industry-leading iTunes Store. NBC supplied iTunes with three of its 10 best selling TV shows last season, accounting for 30 percent of iTunes TV show sales.
According to NBCU's executive vice president of communications Cory Shields, the iTunes contract dispute centered on a "request for flexibility in wholesale pricing, including the ability to package shows together in ways that could make our content even more attractive for consumers."
The report also says the exec said NBCU wanted Apple to do more about piracy "since it is estimated that the typical iPod contains a significant amount of illegally downloaded material."
In addition, the Shields claimed that Apple's pricing strategy is solely designed to sell its hardware, rather than compensating content providers fairly. "It is clear that Apple's retail pricing strategy for its iTunes service is designed to drive sales of Apple devices, at the expense of those who create the content that make these devices worth buying," Shields said.
Apple on Friday said it would stop selling NBCU shows next month because its contract, which ends in December, would not be renewed by NBCU; however, the network directly countered the statement by not only noting other digital distribution outlets, but by insisting that its currently running shows would continue to be available on iTunes through December, but that those shows premiering this year would not be available.
"We want consumers to know that all our returning series, including new episodes, will be available on iTunes through the remainder of the contract, which expires in early December," Shields said. "Our content is also available on NBC.com, Amazon.com, and the soon-to-launch hulu.com."
