Who'll Take Down MS Office?
Just about everyone is out to get Microsoft. That's the problem with being a virtual hegemonic state; like the U.S., everyone wants a piece of the pie and it often means taking it by force. So, just what are the primary threats to Microsoft?
When it comes to its the company's Office "turf", the competitors are now lining up, and neither the products nor their makers are slouches by any means.
In the following week, three tech titans announced plans to bring down the god of business software, Microsoft and its Office. Yahoo, Google, and even IBM have plans to develop competing software with Office, which we all know includes handy tools like Word, Excel, Outlook, Powerpoint, and many others. (Source: informationweek.com)
So, what do these companies have to offer?
First up is Yahoo, or Yahoo! (I hate exclamation points), who recently announced the purchase of awkwardly named Zimbra, which specializes in electronic mail tools. It's closer to Exchange and Outlook, both key components in Office's arsenal. Yahoo coughed up about $350 million for Zimbra, so expect the company to take its development very seriously.
Search superpower Google is no longer satisfied with helping you find tutus for your poodle. Amidst rumors of an inevitable Google Phone, the company has officially announced Presentations, and online rendition of PowerPoint. You can check out Stefania Spagnuolo's story on Presentations by clicking here.
Finally, there's IBM. It recently announced Lotus Symphony, a harmonious suite full of desktop applications that allow a user to create anything from PowerPoint-esque presentations to Word-like documents to pseudo-Excel spreadsheets.
Aside from IBM, the trend may just be to take all of our Office, ahem "office" apps online. According to one Internet software service representative, "Recent moves from Google and Yahoo! prove that the Internet is the only way forward for business". (Source: business.timesonline.co.uk)
Microsoft's had it easy for a long time in this market, but it appears that's all about to change.

Coco Strolls Through West Hollywood in Bootylicious Skintight Sweatsuit (PHOTOS)
The blond bombshell was seen shopping with a friend on Valentines Day (maybe picking up a gift for Ice T?) in West Hollywood wearing a curve-hugging white sweatsuit that featured some silver sequin on her booty. Season two of thier show Ice Loves Coco is set to premiere on the E! Network in just a few days.
Celebuzz got a chance to talk to the couple about the upcoming season of their show, and Ice even shared their secret to staying in love,
"We're not breaking up. It's not part of the plan. We talk a lot, we got great communication and I think that you gotta stay on the same team. I think a lot of time, celebrity life, both people have careers and they kind of create two teams that potentially work against each other, you gotta stay on the same team."
It seems that they'll be on the same team for a long time to come.
The couple also made an appearance on the late night talk show CONAN and Coco (the female) shared some insight on what they do to keep the relationship fresh,
"I personally like to keep a pair of heels right by the bed, just in case there's some freaky moment that goes on. I mean we watch a lot of Tivo at night and when we want to calm down and relax, I might whip on the heels, [Ice] he's a shoe freak." Ice chimed in, "Well, she has to be wearing them."
You can clearly tell these two are in love after 11 years of marriage and who knows, maybe they will make you believe in love again. The two-part premiere of Ice Loves Coco airs Sunday, Feb. 19 and Monday Feb. 20 and 10:30PM. Check out their interview with Conan O'Brien in the video below.

Return to: Programs of Study
Department of Journalism, College of Humanities and Social Sciences
Journalism is the work of supplying content, primarily news, for the ever-expanding world of mass media. Journalists are responsible for gathering information, analyzing and editing it for a mass audience, and dispensing it using some form of media platform. Increasingly the methods of distribution have become more complex, but the basic mission of a journalist remains the same: to serve the public by finding, defining, writing and editing information.
Today's journalist may be found on traditional publications such as newspapers and magazines, broadcast outlets and specialized publications. He or she may utilize online delivery or other forms of electronic communication. The trained journalist may use her or his skills in the expanding field of public relations, working to serve as a bridge between those with a message to communicate and the journalist who seeks information.
Journalism majors pursue theoretical and practical communication studies in a liberal arts setting. Students of journalism gain practical experience on Western's award-winning student media, and majors additionally take field internships with newspapers, magazines, broadcast stations, public relations agencies and other professional organizations.
Courses in the visual journalism sequence prepare students in the concepts, professional practices and course work applications of visual components of news: photojournalism, information graphics, video and audio clips, mapping and typography.

About the Book
A product promotion book for "Heavenly Balls®" - a delicious Passover confection.
While preparing a traditional Passover meal in 2003, Laurie Weil scoured her Jewish cookbooks and the internet for a new dessert. She was particularly looking for one that did not call for matzo meal, which tends to make many dishes taste like cardboard (which, of course, may be the point).
The result was Heavenly Balls®, made with a variety of dried fruits (and other secret ingredients), rolled in cinnamon - or surrounded with chocolate.
You can purchase Heavenly Balls® at http://www.turtletreetreats.com

Small Square, 7×7 in, 18×18 cm

Permissive parenting techniques can lead to over-indulged children who physically assault their parents, a study has found.
The study by psychologist Eddie Gallagher, published in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy , examined patterns of violent behaviour in 73 Australian families.
Two main patterns of abuse were identified - sole mothers victimised by children after experiencing violence from partners, and middle-class parents being victimised by spoilt children.
The study found boys were more likely to engage in violent behaviour than girls and that mothers were more likely to be victims than fathers.
Half of victims surveyed were single parents.
But the assaults go largely unreported because parents are ashamed and believe their child's violent behaviour reflects poorly on their parenting skills.
"There is tremendous guilt. It's shameful for all involved - parents might feel like they are a failure and they are treated that way by other people," Mr Gallagher said.
Under-reporting meant parental abuse statistics were almost non-existent, with the most recent survey coming out of the US in the 1980s, Mr Gallagher said. That found parental abuse occurred in 10 per cent of families.
But Australia had no hard or up-to-date data, he said.
The assaults most commonly involved kicking, pushing and punching of parents, "but very few assaults were serious enough to warrant hospital admissions".
Setting boundaries on the child can reduce the violence in many cases, said Mr Gallagher, particularly with parents who "think that discipline is a dirty word".
"Many parents accept kids swearing at them and cheek that would have been unthinkable in their parent's generation. This can start shading over - the parents ignore the swearing and the child loses respect and goes further. This can occur over several years."
But he stressed parents should not blame themselves or assume they are bad parents.
Government bodies such as the Department of Community Services were not equipped to tackle the problem, Mr Gallagher said.
"DOCS is confused about it because their brief is to protect children. I've heard of a couple of parents who have been so desperate, that they have threatened the child so they will get help."
In extreme cases, Mr Gallagher advises parents to take out an intervention order against their child.

Cheer on World Cup competitors with eclectic drink choices
World Cup mania has descended as the planet's best football teams vie for the sport's ultimate championship in Brazil.
OK, so we call it soccer in the United States.
Whatever the name, there's something special about a sport where the size of the athlete and the size of the country bear no direct relationship to success. Polished skills, teamwork, cunning and ability to grab the moment make the difference in the "beautiful game."
Admittedly, scoring can be in short supply. The sport requires patient observation when watching on television. While following the matches and admiring the performances, lift a cup or two of these classic cocktails and wine from the participating nations:
Brazilians have it bad for the World Cup. The country has won five titles and claims some of the sport's most fabled players, such as Pelé.
When the national team plays, normally bustling, congested streets fall silent as the entire nation rivets attention on the match. Even so, Brazilians always make time to enjoy a glass of cold c aipirinha.
This tasty cocktail mixes 2 1 / 2 ounces cachaça — a sugar cane spirit — with freshly squeezed juice from half a lime, 1 teaspoon sugar and 1 cup ice. Cachaça comes in dazzling variations. But the classic caipirinha uses the clear, pure "white" version to enhance pure refreshment.
Boca Loca Cachaça, Brazil ($23.99) is available exclusively through Dreadnought Wines in the Strip District (412-391-1709). The name "Boca Loca" translates to "crazy lips," a perfect metaphor for the free-spirited Brazilian approach to savoring and enjoying the moment.
Originally, only slaves and local natives consumed cachaça, while wealthier elites favored imported spirits. Today, cachaça's appeal has broadened as adult Brazilians consume, on average, 3 gallons of the drink annually.
Unlike most Caribbean rums that ferment molasses, cachaça derives from the juice of hand-harvested, freshly pressed sugar cane fermented with special yeasts. Distillation captures fruity aromas and pure, fruity flavors with none of the rough qualities of many rums. Highly recommended.
The English invented modern soccer, but the Brits typically come up empty on the World Cup's big stage. Not to worry. There's always a pint of bitter beer and a Pimm's Cup to enjoy.
Pimm's Cup No. 1 Liqueur (4066; $18.99) is a tea-colored, gin-based liqueur incorporating quinine, herbs and spices as a delightful foundation for a refreshing cocktail.
Fill a large pitcher with ice and add one part Pimm's Cup No. 1 to two parts lemonade made from freshly squeezed lemons. Mix in thin cucumber slices, orange slices and strawberries. Serve in tall glasses filled with ice and garnish with a sprig of mint.
Italy's World Cup teams have enjoyed recent successes even as plenty of drama always swirls around the squad. Whatever the outcome, Italians always enjoy a tasty Negroni cocktail.
Start withCampari Bitter Aperitivo (5484, $28.99), the vivid neon-red, quinine and herb based liqueur. For a perfect Negroni, mix 1 1⁄2 ounces Campari, 1 1⁄2 ounces gin and 1 ounce each of sweet and dry vermouth in an ice-filled shaker. Pour into a rocks glass and serve with an orange garnish.
While relatively new to the World Cup stage, the Adriatic nation of Croatia still fields a highly competitive side. In this year's opening match, Croatia lost to host Brazil after a highly controversial penalty call.
But there's no sense crying over bad calls. Instead, enjoy a glass of delicious Croatian wine. Try the engaging 2012 Kozlovi, Malvasia, Croatia (Luxury 46806; $29.99), an unoaked white offering peach and apple aromas with floral notes. Crisp-apple and ripe-peach flavors balance with fresh acidity and mouthwatering mineral notes through the elegant, dry finish. Highly recommended.
Dave DeSimone writes about wine for Trib Total Media. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Harrods Logo Font
November 29 2000 at 6:17 PM
Response to
Harrods font
I also was impressed with this logotype and was intending to do it as a Font Diner font. I did some research and discovered that the logo they're using now is the same as the one they used in the 1950's.
This occured to me to be a problem since they still use the font style in the logotype so I asked them for permission to turn the logotype into a font.
Here is their response . . .
Dear Stuart
It was very interesting to read your email (23rd September 2000) regarding
the Harrods logotype.
As you can imagine a company such as Harrods has very stringent rules and
regulations regarding the use of the identity in any form, as a strong
corporate identity is vital to the success of any business.
The use of our logo is carefully managed, to not only ensure consistency,
but to protect the brands core values: style, quality, integrity and
It is for these reasons that Harrods would not grant permission for the
creation of a full character font in its style to be created.
You may know the strapline for the store is "There is only One Harrods..."
and it is this exclusivity that we wish to maintain and a Harrods style
typeface would not perhaps aid this cause.
I hope this has answered you question, and could I take this opportunity to
thank you for your interest in Harrods.

I like serious books and silly films and going to the odd gig (and yeah, some of them have been pretty odd).
Nice to meet you.
Learning languages. Reviewing the languages I already know but don't speak often. Practicing them in the countries where they're spoken.
Recently determined that scotch (14 year old Oban) goes pretty well with Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream. Who knew?
Languages. I'd like to add a few more to this list, too. I once spent a few weeks trying to learn Finnish from a book, but gave up when it was pointed out to me that the Finns all speak English. Duolingo and Mango are among the most-used apps on my phone.
That or my eyes.
Movies: Star Wars; High Fidelity; Austin Powers; Rushmore (any early Wes Anderson); The Dark Knight; Office Space; Orange County; the Big Lebowski. I also always have time for stuff like Back to the Future or Alien/Aliens. More recently, Interstellar
TV: the Simpsons, the Wire, the West Wing, Arrested Development, Community, Silicon Valley, Blackadder, Fringe, Firefly, ST:TNG, Deutschland '83. Not sure if I loved Mr Robot, necessarily, but it was mesmerizing (and had an amazing soundtrack).
Music: I like good music regardless of genre, but favorites are mainly in the alternative/indie rock sphere: the Smiths, Britpop, Scott Walker, Magnetic Fields, 80s New Wave, etc. Also have a healthy appreciation for the likes of Johnny Cash, Jean Sibelius and Miles Davis. If you're friends with P, then you're friends with me.
Food: sushi; buffalo wings; NY-style pizza; In'N'Out; carne asada soft tacos; curries (Indian, Thai, Malay, you name it); Chinese teas of all kinds
Whether or not I can tetris the books I just got into the rapidly diminishing space on my bookshelves. Or if I should stop buying books and just go to the library instead?
EDIT: Just got back from New York in April, and confirmed this is still accurate.
You don't have Ayn Rand in your profile.
You want to share a pithy observation, on any subject.
Or, possibly, you've realized that what's missing from your life is someone who can find a Simpsons quote for any occasion.

Minka Kelly: Derek Jeter's GF
Minka Kelly is famous for having starred as Lyla Garrity on Friday Night
Lights. But, if you think that makes her famous enough, what if she ends up marrying Baseball's Hottest Bachelor Derek Jeter?
Shortly after the Yankees defeated the Phillies in the World Series, it was reported by the New York Post that Kelly and Jeter were engaged. Jeter later said on Late Night with David Letterman that this was not true.
Jeter's list of past GF's is only rivaled by that of his teammate A-Rod and Jeter, a lifetime bachelor, has had more time to steal more hearts than he's stolen bases. Jeter has circled the bases with Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba, and Scarlett Johannsen to name a few. Not too shabby.
Minka Kelly has done ok for herself as well, having dated John Mayer previous to Jeter. Kelly is the daughter of Aerosmith guitarist Rick Daley.
Rumors of Derek Jeter's engagement have been going on for months. One thing is for sure, however, Jeter continues to be a top fantasy baseball shortstop regardless of whom he is dating.

Russell Westbrook Plays Sea Lion One-on-One at the Zoo
Call me crazy, but I think it's not so much that the sea lion was good, as Westbrook was playing poorly. Granted I don't know much about basketball, but maybe the Thunder could use a new point guard. Not the sea lion, though.

Eczema care
Helping patients with ECZEMA to get the best out of the NHS
This web-site is about helping you to understand how you can get the best out of the practice and other resources. Terms highlighted in RED are key words that you should find in your own medical record. Staff are highlighted in BLUE. Equipment is highlighted in GREEN.
You may ask why?
The most recent patient survey has shown that patients want to be able to see the clinician sooner (ie less than 2 weeks) and on time (ie not have to wait an hour for a scheduled appointment) and feel that all their concerns have been met. It has been independently confirmed that the practice already offers more appointments than the average to its patients.
So how can we meet the demand?
Being prepared for the consultation greatly helps as does recognising the length of the appointment slot and helping the clinician to stay within the time limit.
You may ask how?
There are some simple steps that are essential for you to understand that will help you on your journey of discovery for your health and well-being:
What condition do you suffer with?
Eczema refers to dry skin often found inside your elbow or on the back of your knees but can also affect other parts of your body as well.
What does that condition mean?
Here are some links to websites with useful information on eczema that you may wish to see:
What help is available for you to use?
This condition is primarily managed by the nurses and doctors. They can check how your eczema is going and whether you are using sufficient emollients and creams and using other medications to control the condition. There are also Specialist Dermatology Nurses based in Hyde who can also see you if your eczema or your childs eczema is particularly problematic.
What does the condition mean for you?
You need to know what all the different treatments are that your doctor has prescribed and how much to use of each. Often patients and their families get used to itching all the time and having disturbed sleep. It is important that you find out what you should do especially if you are not sure. We can only help you if you tell us so. This information should be in your GP-held record for you to see.
What needs to happen now and in the future?
The typical patient with eczema which is well controlled needs the following:
Make sure all your emollients, bath oils, and anti-histamines are on repeat prescriptions are so that you can order them as soon as you need to.
If a cream or ointment does not suit you then you must see a doctor to have it changed. You need to be in control of your treatment otherwise the condition will control you.
Medication Review twice a year usually with the nurse unless you are told otherwise
What can you do to help?
As this is a new way of working, it is worth discussing this with the nurse to see how this can be done the first time you decide to take control.
Get access to your GP-held record. Without knowing what is in your records and what you need to do, it will be very hard to know what to do when and with who. This is an essential first step for anybody with any condition or who wants the best from the practice.
You need to know what the different medications are. In particular if you are prescribed any steroid cream then it should be the lowest strength and applied wth the correct amount for the least amount of time necessary. Your doctor can help you to understand this as well as the websites above.
Look at the web page pre-consultation care and go through it prior to your review with the clinician. This can help us to understand your needs better and what you want out of the consultation. If there are no specific issues AND all the tests are normal and you are well-controlled, it may even be possible to conduct the medication review over the telephone. This must be with the agreement of the clinician and if you are happy with this. We think many people may benefit from this but we do not want to prevent anybody from coming to the surgery of they so wish. Understanding your needs is key to a successful outcome of the medication review. See the above mentioned websites to help you to understand what your needs are. Initially you may need the clinician to help you understand how to look at the websites and what they mean for you.
How are we doing?
The Quality Outcomes Framework was set up so that practices can look at how successful they are in delivering services to their practice population and also give an opportunity to see how we compare with others around the country. This data is readily available from here (www.qof.ic.nhs.uk/search.asp). Overall we got 996 points out of a maximum of 1000 last year indicating that we are a very high performing practice across the board which is reassuring for you and us. Whilst eczema is not part of the Quality and Outcomes Framework, we are still keen to provide an excellent service for our patients. It is hard to compare experiences especially as everybodys eczema is a unique experience. However we would welcome any thoughts you may have on how we can see how we are doing and perhaps even how we might be able to compare with other practices too.
How can you help us do even better and help other patients too?
This is very important. In your journey of discovery about your health, you may come across odd things that do not make sense about the way the practice runs and you may have a better suggestion. Or you may come across something new that we have not considered that helps you even more. Tell us about it next time you see a clinician or preferably write it down and hand it in or send it as a comment to the Patient Participation Group (PPG) so that they can bring it up with the practice the next time we meet up. Even better, why dont you join the PPG and become an active member. We are always on the look out for new members and new ideas.
Instead of having to come to the surgery lots of times a year to get high dose steroid creams that could be harmful to your skin long term, once you have understood what eczema is and what advice your doctor or nurse are giving you by reading your GP-held electronic health record, you may find that your skin improves greatly, whilst you are using less steroid cream and sleeping better as a result of not itching as much. If your child is the patient then not only does he or she or sleep better but so do you and of course spend less time at the surgery.
Most importantly, by working together and understanding each others needs better, we can help you to get the best out of the practice and the wider NHS.

My name was #1 my birth year and for this LO (little one) I was hoping to give her a name that wasn't so popular.
The trouble is, the only names DH (dear husband) and I seem to agree on are currently in the Top 10-20.
I know if she has a popular name, she won't have trouble finding personalized items should she want them.
I've loved the name Olivia for years, but i'm not happy that it's in the top 5, and DH (dear husband) loves it too.
Every name I suggest that isn't even in the top 100 he pretty much shoots down. It's frustrating!
How much do you ladies try to avoid the popular and trending names? And do you find it difficult?

Though he has his goal, the former president of Warner Bros. reveals that Disney CEO Robert Iger does not set an exact number of films that should be produced by the studio per year.
Soon after Walt Disney Studios named Rich Ross' successor, Alan Horn has talked about his plans with his new position as the company's chairman. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, the former President and COO of Warner Bros. revealed he would like to see the studio making eight movies per year.
"Six to eight movies [a year] feels like the right number for me [live-action films, excluding Marvel]," he said, before adding that it's not an exact number. "That's a range. It could be four... Bob [Disney CEO Robert Iger] has been very flexible and very open about the number of movies. We don't want 25 movies a year, [but] we're not backing into any number. Bob did not give me any budget constraints."
Since Iger emphasized on the importance of making "good movies," Horn said, "Each movie has to earn the right to be made with the concept, screenplay, casting and so on. All that has to come together." He added, "I don't think it's a critical criterion that each individual movie has branding potential."
"Every movie will be, as best we can conceive and execute it, a good movie. Branding will not be the tail that wags the dog. But this is a powerhouse [company], so if we can make a movie that can live beyond the theatrical space, that's just terrific," the Union College graduate went on explaining.
Unlike the former Disney chief Ross, Horn will oversee animation and will be involved with everything Pixar does. Commenting on this, he told The Wrap, "I love movies and the movies these guys make at Pixar and at Marvel."
Asked whether the changes he brings to Disney will involve firings and cuts, Horn said, "When I went to Warner, I went by myself. I have a philosophy: I assume that everybody's terrific. And that's my belief coming in. I have to get to know them."
Horn is tapped to replace Rich Ross who resigned from his position as Disney chairman following "John Carter" big flop. "The best people need to be in the right jobs, in roles they are passionate about, doing work that leverages the full range of their abilities. I no longer believe the chairman role is the right professional fit for me," so he stated when announcing his decision in April.

My first well Day -- since many ill --
I asked to go abroad,
And take the Sunshine in my hands,
And see the things in Pod --
A 'blossom just when I went in
To take my Chance with pain --
Uncertain if myself, or He,
Should prove the strongest One.
The Summer deepened, while we strove --
She put some flowers away --
And Redder cheeked Ones -- in their stead --
A fond -- illusive way --
To cheat Herself, it seemed she tried --
As if before a child
To fade -- Tomorrow -- Rainbows held
The Sepulchre, could hide.
She dealt a fashion to the Nut --
She tied the Hoods to Seeds --
She dropped bright scraps of Tint, about --
And left Brazilian Threads
On every shoulder that she met --
Then both her Hands of Haze
Put up -- to hide her parting Grace
From our unfitted eyes.
My loss, by sickness -- Was it Loss?
Or that Ethereal Gain
One earns by measuring the Grave --
Then -- measuring the Sun --

Drum Accessories
From Snareweight:
Snareweight #4 is the fourth generation built for metal triple flange hoops. It's made to last of a weighted solid 3/4lbs. chunk of brass. The weight, friction and magnet, all work together to create what we call "expressive dampening"- giving color to your playing all the way through the dynamic range.
The neodymium arched magnet secures the Snareweight to the hoop while at the same time securing the leather insert of your choice for your dampening needs. Snareweight #4 is the only body you will ever need. Slide the #4 around the rim with one hand while hitting the drum with the other until you find the sweet spot.
---To make sure your hoop is right for snareweight, try a household magnet against the rim, if it attracts you have a triple flange hoop, if not check out the pro lock + #4 for die cast hoops---
Snareweight #4 is designed to fit with the new and improved pro-lock for die cast (non magnetic) hoops as well. They work as at team to give you a floating lock around your die-cast hoop.
Since the 1st designs of 2011, there has been a few improvements to the magnet and magnet enclosure. Recessed screws now anchor the magnet as well as a raised brass lip to prevent the magnet from chipping. Also we included what we call the "absorber" above the magnet to prevent jitter at certain tuning. This also costs more to manufacture but we feel it's worth it.
Other info: Snareweight #4 is the flagship damper offering the most options for dialing in the right amount of dampening quickly.
Snareweight adds mass to the head which helps to evenly smooth the lower-mid ringing frequencies that can't be reached with other methods. The unwanted ring of the high frequencies are shaped by the chosen insert in a snap by matching the insert with a drummers favorite drum head.
From an engineering stand point with the weight of a Snareweight #4, you get about 2-3 db of compression from your drum, which helps to reel it in for optimum recording levels and sitting in the mix without the need for more outboard gear, eq/compression. Better to fix it from the source.

Presley Chweneyagae delivers a compelling performance as Tsotsi.
- VIDEO: Trailer - Tsotsi
In the opening moments of Tsotsi, winner of this year's Oscar for best foreign-language film, four young township toughs surround a middle-aged black man in a crowded Johannesburg commuter train. One of them holds a long slender knife at the terrified man's ribs, standing almost nose to nose. Without a word, while looking in the older man's eyes, he slides the knife in, deep and silent.
The look of satisfaction on the young man's face, the brazenness of the crime, the fact that he didn't have to kill him to get his wallet, the way the other three crowd in to hold up the dying man until the next stop - all these create a detailed and disturbing sense of the world these characters inhabit. Most of us have heard about the murder rate in Johannesburg.
Here it is made very intimate, close enough for the killer to feel the dead man's last breath and enjoy it.
The scene isn't conventionally dramatic, or built to a crescendo: it just happens, randomly and pointlessly, as in life. There is no value in this man's life to the four; on the contrary, they value his death, for the power it gives them.
Tsotsi is the best film I've seen from South Africa, and among the best this year from anywhere. It's also the most cinematically beautiful, shot in luminous super 35mm Cinemascope, and lit with breathtaking sensitivity.
The power comes both from the story itself, an adaptation of a
novel by Athol Fugard, and from the absolute confidence of Gavin
Hood's direction. It's as if he has been waiting a long time to get
this out, to show us what he knows about his country's wounded
Fugard wrote the novel in the 1960s, setting it in 1950s Sophiatown, the poor but mixed township that was bulldozed to create a new whites-only suburb called Triumph in 1963. The book was not published until 1980. Gavin Hood, a white South African now based in Los Angeles, sets it in the present, so the story is no longer driven by hatred of apartheid. Indeed, there are few whites in the film at all.
Hood also introduces two new characters: a well-to-do black couple living in a privileged neighbourhood across the open fields from the sprawling shantytown where Tsotsi and his gang live. This is the new South Africa, where some blacks have made it into places like Triumph, to live in fear of those who haven't.
Tsotsi (Presley Chweneyagae) is about 19 and leader of the gang of four. His name simply means thug or gangster, in "Tsotsi-Taal", the slang of the township criminals. It's a mixture of all 11 official languages of South Africa, and it's the main language in the film, although there's not a lot of dialogue. Tsotsi rarely speaks. He has hard eyes, the face of a tough childhood and a sullen air.
Across the wasteland, he watches a black woman in a BMW pull up outside her fortified house. Her automatic gates are not working. He draws his gun, shoots her in the belly and steals the car, even though he can't drive. He runs off the road when he realises that her baby son is in the back seat. He puts the child in a shopping bag and takes it to his shack in the ghetto.
There are plenty of movies about tough guys humanised by children, going back at least as far as Chaplin, but few are dramas. Tsotsi treats its story with utmost seriousness rather than sentiment.
There's no likelihood of redemption in this world and little hope for the child. Tsotsi has no idea how to care for a baby, only a secret and pathological desire to have and hold one. He leaves it alone for a few hours and comes home to find the baby covered with large ants, because of the condensed milk he gave it earlier (the ants are computer-generated). In desperation, he follows a young nursing mother (Terry Pheto) to her house and orders her, at gunpoint, to feed the child.
Hood has a background in still photography and acting, and both
have made him a better director. Some of the film's most striking
shots are like great documentary photos - decisive, but not
self-consciously composed. The fashion in ghetto-set films has been
to shoot hand-held and on grainy stock, but Tsotsi is shot in
gorgeous fine-grain detail.
The locations and story provide the grit, not the stock. The widescreen ratio allows Hood and cinematographer Lance Gewer to keep space around the characters, emphasising isolation, but also location. They cannot escape where they are, even when rich.
Many of the actors came from community theatres in the townships. They had to be able to speak Tsotsi-Taal, which excluded major stars, but Hood relies more on expression than dialogue. Presley Chweneyagae, 19, as Tsotsi is able to move from tough to tender in an instant, somehow changing the whole nature of his face.
Tsotsi is an intense film. It is emotionally gripping and continually surprising, and it does the great thing - it takes you there, to the heart of somewhere else.

Monday 2nd April - Day 4
Dan bought a cardigan, then proceeded to leave it in New York New York. I was in stitches because never has a person ran so fast, without actually running.
Casino was rather kind to us today. So far $1700 won. Drinks were been slung around like a 'Dam pro by her pimp.
Duelling pianos was awesome. A few requests were played: Coldplay, Bruce Springsteen but more importantly Seal! There was an ultra annoying woman who picked up a hula hoop next to the pianos, (as you do) and then started spinning it around her. She was all arms like an octopus. Yeah it was clever, but when you're acting like a dick, you're a dick...trust me I know from personal experience.
Quotes of "Oh, but Mr Mohammed", "Oh, but Mr Gohan" we're been thrown around right, left and Bransholme.

Nearly 12 years ago, Hickory Hills native Marty Casey catapulted his South Side band the Lovehammers to its first deal with a major record label, a hit single in "Trees" and the opening slot on INXS's tour after weeks of performing on "Rock Star: INXS."
As the runner-up on the CBS competition to replace the late INXS singer Michael Hutchence — and subsequently the No. 1 free agent — Casey then had opportunities to take his career solo. But he had no intention of leaving behind the childhood friends he'd jammed with since age 14.
Now, though, Casey's time has come.

California raked in far more tax money than expected last month, according to a report from the state controller, who tracks the state's cash flow.
Total revenue was $4.3 billion higher than the latest projections from Gov. Jerry Brown's administration, giving the state its best numbers for any January in the last decade, the report said.

My Ducati ST2 has a 170/60/17 rear tyre fitted, lots of dealers on the internet are quoteing 180/55/17 tyres to fit the bike, anybody know if that size tyre is Ok on that rim?
Ducati st2 rear tyre
Posts 3 | Views 952
I`ve seen 2 sizes in google but 170/60/17 on Brembo rims should be yours,the 180/55/17 is 10mm approx wider and the sidewall is 3mm less nearer the rim,have you room for 5mm approx each side? If it works out better all round get a statement/bill with your model on it just in case.
Duc St2 18-/55/17 rear tire
I used a Michelin Pilot Road 180/55 and it worked out fine-fits well and got good wear-changed
handling a bit and after 6000 miles it was done and
I went back to the Michelin but the 170/60 tire.
But it does fit and makes the bike a little different so
tell us what you found out.

Shakira's Chinese Stage Debut
Making her debut in the Asian nation, Shakira took the stage for a concert in China on New Year's Eve (December 31).
The Colombian singer joined a lineup of local favorites such as Sa Dindding, Lee Jung-hyun and Maksim Mrvica while on-hand for the CCTV event held in Beijing.
During the course of her stage duties, Shakira churned out three songs including a version of "Waka Waka" in which she taught the audience the accompanying dance moves.
While this was the 33-year-old's first performance in China, she's well-known as a result of her global hit tune - as "Waka Waka" was the official theme song of this past year's World Cup.

WORK on Bromsgrove's new multi-million pound railway station is set to get underway this month.
In February the Advertiser revealed preparation work, including the installation of several new retaining structures and realignment of the existing track routes, had begun at the Aston Fields site.
Tomorrow, March 13, a ceremony is being held to mark the beginning of the main work to construct the station, being built 250 metres south of the current New Road one.
The £17.4 million station is needed because the location of the current station does not allow the extension of the existing three-carriage platforms, or accommodate the needs of the electrification of the railway line.
The new station is planned to accommodate six carriage trains, with the possibility for future extension for nine carriage trains.
The station will feature an external concourse linked to new bus stops, taxi rank, and pedestrian footpaths.
It is also set to feature a staffed ticket office, a passenger waiting room, toilets, automated ticketing, covered cycle storage, vending machines, and covered access to the lift and stairs.
Roger Horton, Centro's lead member for rail, said: "I am delighted that work is getting underway.
"This is an exciting development for Bromsgrove.
"The new station, together with connection to the Cross City line and electrification, will mean better and more frequent services for passengers."
The station is earmarked for a 2015 opening, while work on a separate electrification scheme - bringing all four of the station's new platforms into use - is expected to be completed by May 2016.

Fantasy Basement: Week 4
The Fantasy Basement is a weekly piece that provides fantasy advice on lineup calls, sleepers, waiver-wire moves and rookie spotlights, along with the occasional ramble or two. Why "Fantasy Basement" you ask? There is a common misconception that sports writers dwell in their childhood cellars, that the institution promotes arrested development. Um…how does that have negative connotation? After all, who wouldn't enjoy coming home to fresh-baked cookies and having their laundry done?…Anyway, enjoy!
Start 'Em
QB: Robert Griffin III, Redskins
This is one of those junctures where you need to distill fantasy from reality. For in the latter, the Washington quarterback is clearly not in a good physical or mental state regarding his knee, a trepidation that is apparent when he's under duress. Worse, I don't see that apprehension dissipating anytime soon.
Yet in the statistical realm? RG3 is holding strong. The rushing prowess has been absent, but Griffin's 975 passing yards are fifth-most through the opening weeks. Considering that Washington's defense enters as the worst unit in the NFL (last in yards surrendered, second-most points given up), it stands to reason Griffin and company will find themselves behind early and often this year. As a corollary, expect Griffin to see an increase in aerial forays. Moreover, Washington is taking on the Raiders, and Oakland's resistance has been anything but. Look for Griffin's revival to begin this weekend.
Other starts: Philip Rivers, Tony Romo
RB: Frank Gore, 49ers
Gore's in the news this week for supposedly going off on Jim Harbaugh, information that's irrelevant since A) Gore had his best game of the season in Week 3 (11 carries, 82 yards; two receptions, 21 yards) and B) what player wouldn't want to go off on Harbaugh? You try keeping your cool around his incessant howling and condescending demeanor.
Anyway, Gore might be in the twilight of his career, but the sun hasn't set just yet. Gore faces the Rams this week, a team giving up the sixth-most fantasy points to running backs. The sloppy nature of Thursday night games usually equates to an emphasis on the run, giving Gore's value an extra boost.
Other starts: Darren McFadden, Maurice Jones-Drew
WR: Torrey Smith, Ravens
Smith was riddled with inconsistency in his first two years in the pros, making the prospect of starting the Baltimore wideout a fickle proposition. This fall has been a different tale. With Anquan Boldin gone and Dennis Pitta on the sidelines, Smith has been the de facto No. 1 target for the Ravens and hasn't disappointed, hauling in 16 catches for 269 yards. More important has been the amount of pigskins in Smith's direction, with his 31 targets a team-high by a considerable margin (Dallas Clark is second with 20). Look for this prosperity to continue this weekend, as the Bills are yielding the third-highest output to receivers.
Other starts: Mike Wallace, Denarius Moore
TE: Heath Miller, Steelers
The Pittsburgh line is something awful, and Mike Wallace' departure has left a bigger void than imagined in the receiving corps. Luckily for the Steelers the offense welcomed back a vital component in their scheme last week when Heath Miller returned from a torn ACL. Limited to a snap count, Miller is believed to have no restrictions in game play against the Vikings. Available in 82 percent of FOXSports.com leagues, inserting Miller versus a Minnesota squad allowing the second-most points to tight ends is an astute move.
By the way, London has to be furious. Sending over the Vikings and Steelers? Wouldn't be surprised if this renews the Revolutionary War.
Other starts: Charles Clay, Scott Chandler
DEF: New York Jets
Jake Locker's getting a little TOO much praise this week. Don't be surprised if Gang Green notches three-plus turnovers in Nashville.
Other starts: Pittsburgh Steelers, Cincinnati Bengals
Sit 'Em
QB: Matt Ryan, Falcons
The Falcons are 1-2, but this standing is not a derivative of Ryan and the Atlanta offense. Sure, Steven Jackson is on the shelf, Roddy White ain't right and perhaps it wasn't the greatest idea to allow Tony Gonzalez to vacation during training camp, yet Ryan has persevered through these obstacles with relative ease, managing to post solid numbers (81-for-119, 909 yards, six touchdowns, two picks) through three games.
Alas, these figures could be in for a rough awakening Sunday night when the Dirty Birds welcome the Pats to town. The New England defense is suffocating opponents to 11.3 points per contest, second-lowest in the NFL. As you would believe, this harassment carries over to the quarterback position. This comes with a caveat, given the list of Patriots' adversaries (Josh Freeman, Geno Smith, EJ Manuel), but they are holding arms to only 10.5 fantasy points per game. Ryan will experience more success than the aforementioned trio, just don't be surprised at truncated production.
Other sits: Matt Schaub, Eli Manning
RB: Stevan Ridley, Patriots
Speaking of New England, Ridley has been one of the more disappointing backs in the opening weeks, putting up a meager 121 yards and zero scores. Worse, LeGarrette Blount siphoned 14 carries in Week 3, making Ridley a worse investment than J.C. Penney. (Sorry, I need to start using more business citations in these articles so I can write-off the Wall Street Journal as a work expense.)
Reports out of Foxborough still list Ridley as the primary rusher, and his dexterity in the blocking game will go ways in keeping his relevance intact. Conversely, don't misconstrue this as endorsement for starting status this week. The Falcons may be in a weakened state with the loss of Sean Weatherspoon, yet Atlanta is conceding a modest 79 rushing yards per game. Unless the Patriots get up early and need to burn some clock, look for Ridley to be a nonfactor in Week 4.
Other sits: Ben Tate, Bilal Powell
WR: Larry Fitzgerald, Cardinals
Sitting Fitzgerald seem absurd? Not when realizing he's got an upcoming trip to Revis Island. Throw in a hamstring issue slightly encumbering Fitzgerald's explosiveness at the moment and it could be tough sledding in Tampa for the All-Pro receiver.
Other sits: DeAndre Hopkins, Mike Williams
TE: Brandon Myers, Giants
I'm torn on this Giants-Chiefs rendezvous. It's hard to put any conviction in the Gotham offense at the moment, and there are serious rapport issues between Eli Manning and his receivers. On the other side of this spectrum: if we've learned anything about Tom Coughlin's tenure in New York, it's that right when you count the G-Men out, they rise like Cher from the dead…yeah, that's right, Cher. You realize she has a new album out and is set to start touring again? (Which kind of renders her last tour name, Farewell, ridiculous.) She's 67! And you know what? She looks fabulous and still has a set of pipes better than half the crap you hear on the radio. That woman keeps on keepin' on. Um, not that I follow her career or anything…
Back to football. I think the Giants make things respectable in Arrowhead this weekend, but it will be taxing for Myers to be a big part of these festivities, with the Chiefs overpowering tight ends to a humble 33 yards per game. Only start Myers in deeper formats.
Other sits: Tony Gonzalez, Jared Cook
DEF: Denver Broncos
The front line is legitimate, and with Champ Bailey and Von Miller close to returning, this has the potential to be a top-five defensive club. Unfortunately, I think the Eagles join Peyton Manning in lighting up the scoreboard in Mile High.
Other sits: New England Patriots, Kansas City Chiefs
Nate Burleson's out for possibly the year after suffering a routine arm fracture. And by "routine" we mean "crashing a car into a median while trying to catch falling pizza off the front seat." So many questions – Why is an athlete eating pizza in the first place? Was it really Little Caesars? Doesn't Burleson make enough dough to snag Papa Johns instead? Did he go with pepperoni or sausage? – so few answers.
What we do know is that Broyles, a second-year man out of Oklahoma, has a chance to step in and make an immediate impact. Broyles has seen little action through three weeks due to recovery from injury, yet the Detroit staff has nothing but praise for the possession receiver. Better yet, after being monitored on a play count in his 2013 debut last week, the Lions are expected to loosen the reins on Broyles and let him run wild. The Bears secondary is one of the best in the conference, but don't be surprised if Broyles is able to sneak in a few catches with Chicago focusing on shutting down Calvin Johnson. Owned in just 7.5 percent of FOXSports.com fantasy football leagues, Broyles is a must-have in PPR leagues and deserves a roster spot in most standard formats.
Email of the Week
This week's winner comes from Rick T. from New York City:
"Dwayne Bowe?!?!?! How do you (have) a job!"
Richard here is referring to my candidacy of Bowe last week against the Eagles. It made sense: Philadelphia had given up a league-high in passing yards up to that point, and Bowe, a historically erratic player, was due for a decent day at the office. Instead, the KC wideout posted a nice goose egg, finishing with one reception for four yards.
Three points in response to Rick's question:
-Hey, these things happen. Nate Silver picked the 49ers to win the Super Bowl last year, Steve Ballmer didn't think the iPhone would have a market share and George Clooney was once turned down by Kathy Lette. We greats are humans too.
-How do I have a job? Clearly you've never looked into my baby blue eyes in person.
-Rick's player that I advised him to sit? T.Y. Hilton…who turned in a marvelous day against the Niners with two grabs for 13 yards.
Sometimes, you can't win, folks.
Fantasy Flyer: Brian Hoyer, Browns
Don't laugh, the calculation checks out. Cleveland will likely be down early against Cincinnati this weekend. With the exodus of Trent Richardson, the Browns backfield remains a mess. Both elements point to an overabundance of sky ventures for Hoyer and the Cleveland offense. Replicating Week 3's 54 passing attempts might be a stretch, but 40-plus throws is not out of the question. Hoyer has viable assets in Josh Gordon and Jordan Cameron, and Cincinnati's defense, while owning a stout line, can be exploited in the passing game. Hey, weirder things have happened…like the Browns winning last week.
This Week in…BRENT CELEK
Rough week for Celek, bringing in two receptions for 18 yards in a loss to the Chiefs last Thursday. In Celek's defense, he was a tad preoccupied by taking the challenge of reenacting Rocky Balboa's famous run from Rocky II. All 30 miles of it.
Celek 2013 stats: four receptions, 74 yards, one touchdown.
LB Body Count: Three
Personal Foul on: Bus Cook, Agent
No, no, no…NO! Don't you…don't you dare…WHY, BUS, WHY!?!?!
Gatorade Shower Goes to: Andy Reid, Chiefs
It was time for him to go in the City of Brotherly Love, but nice to see the loveable lug notch the victory against his former franchise.

Casa Craving Challenge: Verdant Vases
I'm all about the color green lately. Maybe it's because I'm excited about all of the budding trees and green vines in my neighborhood, or maybe my eyes are seeking relief from all of the gray skies that have hovered over me this Winter. Whatever the reason, I'm all about that verdant, grassy hue. And since I'm eager to prune a few more of those quince blossoms and stick them in vases, I'd like to find a few new green vases to display the branches in.
That's why for this week's Casa Craving Challenge, I'm asking you to hunt down and bookmark your favorite green vases. They can be simple and small, like the one in this photo taken by Irene Suchocki, or big and intricate. The vases don't have to be completely green, as long as they have some green tones or green designs within the vases. Just make sure they're something you like! Show me all of your fab finds by creating Casa Cravings and tagging them with the phrase verdant vases. I'll feature the results next Wednesday, Mar. 5. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Who knew you could find such amazing illusions at a flower show? Of course, this isn't any ordinary flower show. It's the largest one in the world. The Hampton Court Palace Flower Show is an annual extravaganza in London that features stunning floral displays as well a number of imaginative gardens including a literal Bridge Over Troubled Water.
Opening to the public today, the flower show also includes some mind-bending illusions like flowers that seemingly go on forever (thanks to a large photographic backdrop), daises made of metal and a bench created with a street's double yellow lines that have mysteriously risen in mid-air.
Hurry before it's too late. The show will only last until July 8.

Celebs Bombard Twitter With Wendy Davis Reax
By JACKIE WILLIS
June 26, 2013
State senator Wendy Davis caused quite the uproar in Hollywood and throughout America when she spoke for nearly 13 straight hours on Tuesday, June 25, without sitting down (she came prepared with pink sneakers) or having a bathroom break to attempt to shut down a bill that would reduce access to abortion in Texas. Everyone from comedian Ricky Gervais to The Hunger Games star Elizabeth Banks to President Barack Obama's Twitter all spoke out about the historic event, and the hashtag #StandWithWendy was popping up all over the web.
The filibuster was stopped two hours shy of midnight when it was ruled that Davis, 50, went off topic several times. The bill did not pass.
Here's some of the reactions that bombarded Twitter:
Ricky Gervais: "Whatever the outcome, @WendyDavisTexas efforts entered her into the pantheon of American heroes tonight. #standwithwendy."
Truly inspiring to watch @WendyDavisTexas standing up for women's rights in Texas. #standwithwendy— Elizabeth Banks (@ElizabethBanks) June 26, 2013
So deeply moved. What an amazing and satisfying display of humanity in the face of oppression. #standwithwendy— Mark Ruffalo (@Mruff221) June 26, 2013
Piers Morgan: "Another reason to love Texas... #wendydavis."
Emily VanCamp: "Yes. Thank you Wendy."
Chad Lowe: "Women of Texas, now would be a good time to move. Men of Texas, now would be a good time to cede from the the union. #StandWithWendy. Unfollow @AP for being complicit in the fraud perpetrated by the Texas GOP tonight. #StandWithWendy."
Evan Rachel Wood: "WTF is going on in texas right now?!"
Something special is happening in Austin tonight: http://t.co/RpbnCbO6zw #StandWithWendy— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) June 26, 2013
Avan Jogia: "Just reading up on what's going down in Texas. Society not going back in time. #standwithwendy proves one person can make a difference."
I've been away from the news all day and am just catching up on this Wendy Davis story. I am in awe of this woman. I #StandWithWendy!— Jesse Tyler Ferguson (@jessetyler) June 26, 2013
At 12:01 AM, CT, I predict Wendy Davis will give us the best mic drop the World has ever seen. #StandWithWendy— Dr. Jill Biden (@JillBidenVeep) June 26, 2013
The live stream of Davis' filibuster garnered 182,000 in online streams alone. That's not even counting what was aired on networks.

Since 2007 Record Store Day has given us an extra reason to spend dough at our local music shops.
RSD falls on April 21 this year (my birthday!), so start getting ready to stand in line for several exclusives.
Iggy Pop has just been named this year's Record Store Day Ambassador, and it sounds like he takes the job very seriously:
I got my name, my musical education and my personality all from working at a record store during my tender years. ... As Record Store Day Ambassador for 2012 I feel like a representative from some exotic jungle full of life and death and sex and anger, called upon to wear a leopard skin and translate joy to the world of the dead.
Until Record Store Day arrives, you can buy merch at the official store. (The shop includes a T-shirt that says "I STILL BUY RECORDS.")

93 Year old Kirk Kerkorian Settles Long Time Feud with ex-wife Lisa Suit for $10 Million+ in Back Payments!Posted by rose in RoseSpeaks
Michael Trope has hit the grand slam home run of Family Law. He hit the ball right out of the park with the bases loaded for his client, Lisa Kerkorian. We at DesperateExes.com are betting that this is one of the biggest if not THE biggest child support wins in the history of divorce… …but Lisa K is no fool, she reached out and picked a winner, Michael Trope, of Trope and DeCarolis.
Michael Trope not only negotiated this incredible win, but folks wait till you hear this number, $10,250,000.00 in retroactive child support for Lisa Da K going back to 2002! There is no other lawyer in the United States that could have put a deal like this together, none. …can you say "vindicated?" Whoever found Michael Trope for Ms. Kerkorian should be awarded a trip around the world, all expenses paid!!! Or a Rolex, "The Yacht-Master II" blue bezel and…
…Folks there is always a backside to these stories and this one is no different. It was back in ….2008 when Michael Trope presented his "Motion to set aside" all the nasty stuff that victimized Lisa Kerkorian. As some of you will remember when she had Kolodny and Anteau as her lawyers pretty much all of what she said on the phone was being shared with Kirk Kerkorian's lawyer Christensen …Anthony Pellicano know who else through wiretaps… …and Terry Christensen lost his ability to practice law…disbarred….
…1. Lisa did not get a fair trial in 2002 because her lawyers were compromised with wire taps…..2. Michael Trope was asking that everything be set aside as it was an "unfair" trial. And this was the only reasonable thing the court could do…a great position to take.
3. All previous evidence would have to be purged, tossed, thrown out, dumped…why? It was all obtained through illegal conduct…
4. …Kirk Kerkorian crew would not be allowed to present any new evidence and all of the other stuff would be tossed…
…. Now, for the big turn, a change of direction, we got a fresh attitude. I wrote on May 12, 2010 that the Judge orders lotsa bacon for Lisa Da K lawyers." That day, it is my opinion that Joe Mannis, not being anyone's fool saw what the exposure could be for his client and began to chart a new course. The actions and comments that day by Judge Steinberg made it clear that it was not going to be business as usual when it came to Lisa Kerkorian and her lawyer, Michael Trope. The other side representing Kirk Kerkorian had committed serious crimes and…
…The deal has been floating around it looks like since July 8, 2010, my birthday! The agreement was finalized and signed… …October 22, 2010. Representing Mr. Kirk Kerkorian is none other than one of the biggest hitters in family law, Joe Mannis. When it comes to seasoned lawyers talk to Joe Mannis. Keep in mind, Mannis represented one of the richest men in the world on this divorce/support issue. Talk about Titans of DIVORCE, here you have two of the best in the game, Michael Trope and Joe Mannis!
In closing, this was some of the best big gun lawyering in Family Law court this year, Michael Trope for Lisa Kerkorian and Joe Mannis for Kirk Kerkorian. …Michael Trope, need I remind everyone that before becoming a lawyer, he was one of the biggest sports agents in the country…"The Art of Negotiating" is alive and well at Trope and DeCarolis.
Read the rest of this article as well as the previous coverage at Desperate Exes.com.
UPDATE ADDITION: The settlement, which provides $100,000 a month until Kira turns 19 or until she graduates from high school, no longer is a full-time student or no longer is living with her mother full-time. After that, the settlement says, the child support will be reduced to $50,000 a month.
The agreement also provides for Kerkorian to pay expenses including school costs, equestrian expense, clothing, housing, travel, hobbies, automobiles, food, beauty treatments, tutoring, entertainment, parties and pets.
The AP reports that Lisa was married to Kerkorian for only 28 days and admitted that their daughter, Kara was not his biological daughter, but Kerkorian has loved her and been involved in her life as her "dad" since day one.
Wonder how much the Court awarded Michael Trope in attorney fees? Perhaps John J. Nazarian will get that scoop and share it with us as well.

Mary-Kate's downward spiral
Where's Uncle Jesse when you need him? Despondent over Paris Hilton stealing her boyfriend (Stavros Niarchos III), Mary-Kate Olsen says the crisis forced her to drop out of school, move back to L.A. and drink her weight in frappucinos.
But she still indulges in her favorite guilty pleasure — Starbucks, up to four beverages a day!
Michelle Tanner #1 also says that despite being heartbroken, she's feeling a lot sexier after beefing up to 95 pounds. You got that right, MKO. I know nothing gets me hotter than a woman with the body of a 9 year old.

Is Photoshopping OK When It Makes Someone's Body Bigger?
I think we all agree that magazines have gone a little overboard with Photoshopping photos in a quest for perfection on their beautiful, glossy pages. It can be detrimental to women's attitudes about our own bodies when we see models with pencil-like legs and whittled-down waists. But what about when photo retouching makes women larger than they are in real life? Is that also bad for us "real" women? In an interview with The Sunday Times, singer Beth Ditto of Gossip said the photos of her on the cover and inside the first issue of Love magazine were altered… to make her size 28 body appear even bigger:
"Katie Grand [Love's editor] showed me the pictures and said, 'Can you tell what we Photoshopped?' I was, like, 'No,' and she goes, 'We made you bigger!'
Beth Ditto is a very large woman, and adding or subtracting a pound or two wouldn't make a noticeable difference to her size, but the fact that it was done takes away from the reality of the pictures. Does making a large woman bigger have as negative an effect on how we view our bodies as seeing the skinny-minis? Possibly. It's great that big-time fashion labels see Ditto as a fashion icon and make her one-off versions of their creations to wear to events and in photo shoots (not everyone in magazine photos should be a twig), but her health is never discussed. Is she obese, or just plus-sized? Does she exercise, or is she a heart attack waiting to happen? By making a plus-sized fashion icon even more plus-sized, I hope we're not creating a different ideal body where women add pounds to their own bodies, thinking, I can't get Keira Knightley's body, but Beth Ditto's is just a hamburger away!

1. Tyron Johnson, 2015 WR, New Orleans (La.) Warren Easton
Johnson continues to shine in 2014. He is a physical wideout with good quickness off the ball. He made great adjustments on the ball and he overpowered defenders and ran past them Saturday. His strong hands were on display and he showed he could make plays in tight coverage and get open down the field.
2. Shea Patterson, 2016 QB, Shreveport (La.) Calvary Baptist
Patterson quietly moved to Louisiana from Texas last summer and he has quickly emerged as one of the top 2016 prospects in the Boot State. For never practicing with the Bootleggers, he was very sharp. He has good arm strength, but accuracy and a quick release stood out the most this weekend. The Arizona commit has many more offers and the ones that have not pulled the trigger likely will.
3. Kevin Toliver, 2015 CB, Jacksonville (Fla.) Trinity Christian
Toliver was strong in man coverage and zone coverage Saturday. He would chase wide receivers across the middle on drag routes breaking up the pass due to his length and then sit back and read the receiver and play the ball. He is so physical and he covers so much ground with his size and length. The LSU commit showed why he is among the best in his class.
4. Terrell Chatman, 2015 WR, Baton Rouge (La.) Central
Not many talk a lot about Chatman, but he is a name to know. The 6-foot-3 wideout was leaping over defenders Saturday and making play after play. He is still raw in a lot of areas, but he is athletic, he has size, and he has upside. Schools will take a long look at him this spring and more offers will arrive.
5. Deshawn Raymond, 2015 CB, Metarie (La.) East Jefferson
When talking how you want to draw a corner up, just take a look at Raymond. He is a 6-1 plus corner with very long arms, he is around 185 pounds, and he is getting better in coverage. He has really progressed over the last 12 months and he is emerging as one of the top corners in the south. He was arguably the top press cover guy on the field Saturday.
6. Chauncey Gardner, 2016 LB, Cocoa (Fla.) Cocoa
This 2016 Miami commitment was all over the place Saturday. He could play linebacker and run around and move deep in coverage and cover a lot of ground. He is a natural athlete and he will likely settle in as a WILL linebacker on the next level. He played very aggressive and he was in on a lot of plays.
7. Clyde Leflore, 2016 WR, New Orleans (La.) Warren Easton
Most talk about [Tyron] Johnson when talking Warren Easton wide receivers and rightfully so, but there is another coming behind him. The talented junior has close to double-digit offers and it showed why Saturday. He is a long 6-1 wideout with great body control. The speed is good, not great, but he knows how to get open, and he catches everything within reach.
8. Mykel Jones, 2016 WR, Patterson (La.)
Jones has always been known for his speed and some may have viewed him as a slot receiver on the next level, but he is more than just an inside guy. He has added good weight/strength and he used that and his speed to make plays Saturday. The four-star sophomore blew past coverage most of the day.
9. Sekai Lindsay, 2015 RB/ATH, Melbourne (Fla.) Palm Bay
It is hard for running backs to shine in 7on events, so Lindsay was used a lot at wide receiver. He is a very quick and shifty athlete who can really catch the ball. He is strong too, he changed direction on a dime Saturday, and he was a real bright spot on Team 321. Lindsay was recently offered by Georgia Tech. He now has six offers.
10. Donte Jackson, 2015 ATH, Jefferson (La.) Riverdale
Jackson created a little buzz on the field Saturday due to his ability to play at a high level on both sides of the ball. He will end up playing corner on the next level and he is a kid in Louisiana college coaches need to check on over the next six weeks. He has that quick twitch and he really reacts well to the ball and receiver on defense. He has offers now, but bigger ones will come.
