Frida Giannini kept it simple, at least when it came to the shoes. For Gucci's spring '13 offering, the creative director paired bright silk, monochromatic looks with elegant strappy sandals. A minimalist white T-strap made for a sexy classic style, while the thick ankle brace and iconic gold hardware added the essential Gucci edge. The ready-to-wear collection might have had a distinctly 1970s spin, but this sleek sandal kept the line moving forward.

Death By Metal
Behold the birth of Death…
In 1984, future Death-mates Chuck Schuldiner, Kam Lee and Rick Rozz released the five-song Death By Metal demo under their original name of Mantas. Now, nearly thirty years later, Relapse has expanded that original release by an additional nine tracks – mostly different versions of the same songs, some labeled as "Death By Metal Demo Version 2" and others taken from a 1984 rehearsal demo. Death By Metal was a building block in the growth of extreme metal, the first official recording of Evil Chuck before he split up Mantas to form Death (with both Lee and Rozz in tow, before they broke off to form Massacre). As you'd expect, Death By Metal is death metal in embryonic form, pushing past the boundaries of thrash and helping to lay the foundation for a new genre with every riff and growl.
It's important, influential, and it's also nearly impossible to listen to.
Those of us who are old enough to remember the cassette era will remember the depreciation of sound with each successive copy, and Death By Metal sounds like one of those dubbed-and-redubbed cassettes we passed around way back in the day. It's muddy, distant, squished. The guitars are sometimes an indistinct buzz, with often only the corners of the riffs poking out while most everything else gets lost in the mire; the drums are a crashing cacophony, fighting with the guitars for what little sonic space exists; Kam Lee's vocals are guttural growls, again muddy and compressed. The latter half of the disc – the material added to the original Death By Metal demo – fares better, but none of this is produced well, or really produced at all. It's a low-budget demo from the early 1980s, and not at all surprisingly, it sounds like a low-budget demo from the early 1980s. On the creative front, the songs are fun, and the riffs are both thrashy and thrashing – what bits of them can be discerned through the wash certainly hint at the greatness to come, with an early version of Scream Bloody Gore's "Evil Dead" among the highlights.
It's been over a decade since we lost Chuck Schuldiner to brain cancer, and it's a testament to the man's metal that we're still hungry for all things Death related. Relapse has done an excellent job in plundering the Schuldiner vaults of late – their expanded editions of Human, Individual Thought Patterns, and The Sound Of Perseverance managed the near-impossible and actually improved upon three of the best records in the history of extreme metal. This unearthing of Mantas' three-decade old demo continues the celebration of Death, and in truth, this is not a release designed for daily listening and intense scrutiny. This one's for the historians – it's a look backwards to a moment in time when three kids from Florida helped to change metal forever. I'm an ardent collector and an avid metal historian, and as such, I'm happy to have an actual copy of Death By Metal sitting on my shelf. But I have to admit that I won't spin this one often. I'm glad it's on the shelf, and on the shelf is where it will stay while I sit over here and crank up Scream Bloody Gore again…
It's also worth noting that there is a further expanded edition of Death By Metal, a 2-CD version that includes another rehearsal demo. My promotional copy did not include the second disc, so I cannot comment upon its quality. The absolute die-hard collector will likely want to track down the entire package.

Message from the Executive Director
Joseph R. Scardapane, Ph.D.
Welcome to the Web pages for Hofstra University's Joan and Arnold Saltzman Community Services Center, where community service, education, training and research are at the core of our mission. The Saltzman Center opened its doors in 1991 and has been largely credited for introducing a growing nationwide trend toward academic partnerships between community service and multidisciplinary education and research.
When visitors tour the Saltzman Center, they often will be delighted by the sight of happy children at play from our nationally accredited Diane Lindner-Goldberg Child Care Institute (CCI), which is not so much a daycare service as it is a center devoted to early childhood education for both Hofstra families and the community-at-large.
But what is truly unique about our CCI students is how they benefit not only from the care and attention they receive from their teachers but also from the other clinics housed at the Saltzman Center. These include:
- Marriage and Family Therapy Clinic
- Psychological Evaluation Research and Counseling Clinic (PERC)
- Reading/Writing Learning Clinic
- Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic
These clinics serve patients of every age, with a variety of needs, for a very nominal fee. No one in financial need is ever turned away from the Saltzman Center clinics.
Among the most important benefits of the Saltzman Center are those that impact the education of Hofstra students. The Saltzman Center exemplifies professional training. We teach Hofstra students the latest, empirically-supported, evidence-based treatments and pride ourselves on providing and following the latest scientific research in each field.
New Services and Programs at the Saltzman Center
One treatment at the Saltzman Center that has attracted a lot of attention is virtual reality therapy in our Phobia Clinic, housed within the PERC Clinic. Patients with phobias such as flying, heights and public speaking are able to work through their fears and deal with situations that are necessary for leading full and active lives. Though the study of virtual reality treatment is ongoing, initial feedback from patients, thus far, has been very positive.
The Saltzman Center has recently unveiled several other new programs – all of which have grown in popularity very quickly. The Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic has introduced the Toddler Language Development Program. Here, toddlers who have been identified as being somewhat delayed in their language development participate in weekly group enrichment sessions with other toddlers and their parents.
Another new and much needed program is the Diagnostic and Research Institute for Autism Spectrum Disorders, a division of the PERC Clinic. Unfortunately, with a growing number of autism diagnoses, the psychological and medical community has had to expand the definition of the spectrum. It is now more likely that people would fall under the diagnosis of autism and autism spectrum disorders. An accurate diagnosis is crucial, and this Institute is attempting to provide the most current diagnostic and treatment services.
Early intervention is important, but this program is not limited to early intervention. We work with children, adolescents and, at times, adults who need help with activities for daily living, communication and socialization.
The Community Literacy Connections Program, housed in the Reading/Writing Learning Clinic, provides support to emerging readers who would otherwise not be able to afford services beyond what is offered in the schools.
There is such an awareness today of knowing your life partner as well as you can before you get married. To that end, the Premarital Assessment and Counseling Program, operating out of the Marriage and Family Therapy Clinic is geared toward clients who want to learn how to create and maintain a healthy family environment from the start of their relationship.
One final program that is growing rapidly is the Institute for the Study and Treatment of Anger and Aggression which, like the Phobia Clinic, falls under the umbrella of the PERC Clinic. This Institute gets many referrals from the courts, from physicians and from other psychologists to treat patients who are suffering not only from anger but from the consequences of aggressive behavior.
The Saltzman Center also hosts breakfast lectures that are free and open to the public. These feature guest speakers who can address a topic of interest to the community that is also related to the work of the Saltzman Center.
I invite you to read about our many impressive services online, and - if you have questions about our offerings – to call us at (516) 463-6535 to make an appointment to discuss one or more of our clinics and institutes.

How black is black enough?
By Leonard Pitts Jr.
Baltimore Sun
I suddenly find myself concerned about my blackness.
It had never occurred to me to worry about it before. Then came the incident last month on ESPN's "First Take" program that initially got commentator Rob Parker suspended and then, last week, fired outright. It seems Mr. Parker, who is African-American, analyzed what he saw as the insufficient blackness of Robert Griffin III, rookie quarterback for the Washington, D.C., football team that is named for a racial slur.
Having returned their team to relevance for the first time since the Clinton era, RG3, as he is known, can do no wrong in the eyes of Slurs fans. But Mr. Parker, saying that the young man's fiancee is (gasp!) white and that Mr. Parker himself is rumored to be -- cover the children's ears -- a Republican, found him lacking in the area of authentic blackness. "My question," he said, "which is just a straight, honest question: is he a brother, or is he a cornball brother? He's not really ... OK, he's black, he kind of does the thing, but he's not really down with the cause. He's not one of us. He's kind of black, but he's not really like the guy you really want to hang out with..."
That explosion you hear is the sound of my mind, blown. I'm left second-guessing my own blackness.
I mean, I listen to Bruce Springsteen, for crying out loud! There's even a Dixie Chicks album on my iPod. Should I download more James Brown and Al Green to save my, ahem, soul?
And I read books sometimes, man -- even when no one's making me do it. Some of them are thick as bricks. Some aren't even about African-American themes.
It gets worse. I have no natural rhythm, no criminal record and can correctly pronounce the word "ask." I don't curse nearly as much as I ought to. Oh, and I went and married my baby mama.
Obviously, my blackness is on life support.
Many of us have been taught that it is demeaning and delimiting when someone presumes to say who you are, how you will behave, what you think, what you like, and how intelligent you are, from the color of your skin. We have been taught that such behavior abridges the other person's individuality.
But apparently, that's only when white people do it to black people. When black people do it to black people, it's called assessing your blackness, making sure you aren't some "cornball brother."
How enlightening to learn that. It is even more enlightening to discover that we have such easy-peasy rubrics to go by. You can't be black if you are a Republican? That means Colin Powell isn't black. Neither, if published reports are to be believed, are rappers LL Cool J and 50 Cent. Who'd have thought?
And if you can't be black and have a white significant other ... wow. There goes -- what? Half? 90 percent? -- of all the brothers in the NBA.
Poor Frederick Douglass has a double whammy. He was a Republican and had a white wife. Who'd have thought this former slave, one of the towering heroes of African-American history, wasn't black enough?
It is this kind of bold insight and trenchant analysis ESPN loses in sacking Rob Parker. What is the network thinking? Mr. Parker, who also contributes commentary to WDIV television in Detroit, defended himself in an interview with the station that aired just before ESPN dropped the ax. He pronounced himself shocked by the fallout and suggested his comments were taken out of context.
"You can't be afraid to talk about race," he said. He's exactly right. In discussing race, we must be fearless. We must also be thoughtful. And informed. And exact. And alive to the ramifications of what we say.
Surely, Rob Parker knows this. Or if he didn't before, he does now.
As for being black enough, he is probably a greater expert than he was before. He is, after all, a man out of work. It doesn't get much blacker than that.

I had an extensive conversation last week with a prominent Republican political operative about next year's congressional elections. This operative is one of the godfathers of Republican politics and has played at the highest level for more than 30 years.
Matt Barnes recently typed the racial epithet on his Twitter account. "The word I used is a word that's used on the court, is used in the locker room, is used by most of my friends and family," Barnes explained, adding that "It's like saying 'Bro.' That's just how we address people now."
There's been as much myth as fact regarding John F. Kennedy's civil rights legacy in the more than 50 years before, during and especially after his assassination on November 22, 1963. In the days before he delivered his now famed presidential inaugural address on Friday, January 20, 1961...
The strike of football players at legendary Grambling State University received attention across the world. GSU President Frank Pogue praised the players for providing the "creative tension" needed to bring attention to the plight of Grambling and historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) in general.
The old saw that you can't live with them and you can't live without them may apply more aptly to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie than to husbands and wives. The "them" in Christie's case is the Tea Party. Christie so far has made all the right moves in his march toward the GOP presidential nomination.
The GOP-controlled House Ways and Means is the first of the three GOP congressional committees "investigating" Obamacare to try and pulverize it -- again. GOP committee members pounded hard on the stock GOP hit points; it's a mess because...
Dr. Ben Carson's shoot from the lip, crackpot quips, digs, and insults at women, blacks, Democrats, and especially President Barack Obama are fast becoming the stuff of legend. This time he almost outdid his past inane cracks with the zinger that the Affordable Care Act is the worst thing since slavery.
If William F. Buckley Jr.'s definition of a conservative was someone who "stands athwart history yelling, 'Stop'," maybe Dr. Ben Carson's idea of conservatism is standing athwart the present saying "slavery" as many times as he can.

I teach, so this is a great top that's comfortable and fits well. Some tops I feel like I'm always pulling one way or another because they ride up or because they're borderline low-cut, but this is great because it's stress free. I am also not much of a pattern person, so this is something I can work with.
December 2, 2012
Nice, but....
I am a regular Limited shopper, but not a regular reviewer. However, I felt the need to comment on this. I cannot ever remember having quality issues with anything I bought at the Limited until this. The top is so cute and looks great with a variety of things but the first time I washed it (gentle cycle, cold water), the stitching on the bottom band began to come out. It is a very thin and somewhat flimsy top, but I thought with gentle care I could manage to get through a season. I will be returning this, sadly.

Perfect blouse
This is a really nice blouse. I ordered it online and when I tried it on it was true to size. I'm 5'3" and got it in a small. It's perfect for work or for going out.
November 17, 2012
I usually gravitate twoards non prints so I decided to add this to my work wardrobe and it has worked well. It's a good color blend to match with different pants too so I can wear it as different outfits.
November 9, 2012
Cute Top
The shirt is super light weight and cute. I have worn it multiple times since I bought it just 3 weeks ago. Overall good purchase.
November 9, 2012
Love it!
I have similar tops and I love them. The material is better for the summer time since it's a mesh fabric that keeps you cool. But you can probably layer them during the winter. I love the band on the bottom, it helps to hide any bulges. Very feminine and comfortable top. These tops wash well. I wash them in delicate cycle and then air dry. No need for ironing, which is great!
November 4, 2012
Unique top
This is not a top I would ever have considered buying just from seeing it online. In fact, I never even noticed it on the website. But it caught my eye in the store. I tried it on and liked it right away. The quality of the mesh is iffy, but it's such an interesting pattern, and I found the color to be flattering on me. I wish the black trim was around the sleeves, too, and not just the hem, but overall, I really like this top and think it would be cute either casual with jeans or dressed up a bit with a black skirt or trousers. A few notes ... it is mesh, so you may need a cami to wear under it. It fits a tad snug, so if you like your peasant blouses to be looser, size up. And the neckline was pretty wide on me, at least more so than it appears here.

Real Ways to Reduce the Appearance of Cellulite
By Jae Curtis
When it comes to the telltale dimples on your skin, you're willing to try nearly any product that promises to reduce cellulite. Unfortunately, the vast majority of creams, pills, and other products are simply ineffective. The result of layers of fat too close to the surface of the skin, there are only a few ways to truly rid your body of the dimples, that "orange peel look," and grooves of cellulite. If your cellulite is especially stubborn, measures such as laser therapy might be your best bet.
Here are some of the most effective ways to reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Skin Massage
One of the cheapest ways to reduce cellulite is a simple as daily massage. You've probably seen products like skin brushes and cellulite rollers, which all operate on the idea that massaging the skin actually helps to smooth out the layers of fat underneath the skin for less cellulite and a smoother appearance, largely due to increased circulations to these areas. While one or two massage sessions won't help you see much of a difference, dry brushing and massaging your skin on a daily basis could help you see real results without completely emptying your wallet.
If you are ready to take the next step, you could sign up for a package of endermologie sessions at a medi-spa. Endermologie uses a special machine with rollers to deeply knead the layers under the skin where the cellulite resides. It does require a series of treatments and is not a permanent solution.
Laser Therapy
It's a common misconception that liposuction helps to reduce cellulite. Unfortunately, since liposuction can often result in uneven layers of fat in the body, it often makes the issue worse over time. Instead, Velashape is one of the most effective ways to rid your body of cellulite. Unfortunately, you'll pay top dollar for each treatment, and it might require anywhere from six to 10 treatments to see a real difference in your skin and the appearance of fat. Still, it's a good investment if your cellulite is a sore spot for you.
There is another laser treatment, Cellulaze, which received clearance from the FDA in 2012 for temporary reduction of the appearance of cellulite. While it is effective in one treatment, in can cost upwards of $5,00o.
Lifestyle Changes
While lasers and massages promise fairly fast results for cellulite reduction, some of the most effective methods take time and improve your health overall. For instance, losing weight takes time but should improve the appearance of cellulite on the body. With less fat, there's simply less uneven texture under your skin. Quitting smoking also helps to improve your skin's appearance and reduce cellulite. Since smoking causes your skin to lose elasticity, you should see a difference when you quit smoking and skin cells begin to rebuild. Losing weight and quitting smoking improve more than just your cellulite, which is why they're among the best choices for your body.

Oh job listings, you just keep making our job easier.
According to a job listing over at 2K Boston, the original big daddies of BioShock are currently working on an "unannounced shooter."
Big Bioshock, we know, but it's still nice to at least have a tiny morsel of concrete info on the game.

Levine's new project is "more ambitious than anything we've ever done"
Ken Levine has said that he and his team at 2K Boston are hard at work on a new project that's "more ambitious than anything we've ever done."
"I think that when we think about a project now… When we thought about this project, we accounted for the fact that hiring the staff that we needed to hire would take some time," he told Gamasutra. "And when we thought about the shipping date of the project… We needed a certain kind of length for the title, because we had a scope and ambition in mind which is more ambitious than anything we've ever done.
"Even more, substantially more ambitious than BioShock. And we knew that was not going to happen overnight."

Ken Levine: "We've never had a layoff in the history of our company"
According to 2K Boston head Ken Levine, hiring the right people for your studio creates not only stability, but does away the need to hire loads of employees to finish a job, only to let them go afterward.
"We've never had a layoff in the history of our company, and I'm very proud of that," he told Gamasutra. "When we were a private company, and now that we're part of a public company. And, you know, I can't make predictions for the future, but I think culturally we've always felt it was very important to hire the right people — and not hire too many people so things get out of control — and think about a plan.
"One of the reasons, I think, that you see a lot of layoffs in this industry is that you have these huge products, and you don't have a plan for what you do afterward. So the product ends, and — you see this day after day, you know — teams get cut in half or shut down after the product ships, because there's no plan to move on for the future.
"We've fortunately planned well. And that was very tricky when we were a private company, but it was very important to me. And, frankly, I think that's one of the reasons we've always been relatively small. It's because, if you get a huge staff, that makes you feel good, and you sit out there, and you go, "Oh, look at my domain, here. I've got 200 people working on this product."
"But that's a tough number to carry at the end of a project."

2K Marin: There's no "dead weight" on BioShock 2 team
2K Marin creative director Jordan Thomas has claimed there are no weak links in his BioShock 2 team. You'd kind of hope so.
"We started to very slowly, and through a very stringent interview process, bring in the top talent in the Bay Area, and cherry pick, essentially," he told Gamespot, talking of the process of setting up the studio with a seed team from 2K Boston.
"I'm now very proud of the group we put together. There's really no dead weight, and I'm consistently surprised by their talent, and their passion for BioShock."
Thomas added: "The minds that shaped the 2K Australia studio and 2K Marin were kind of a child that came out of 2K Boston and beyond, and 2K as a whole, frankly."
There's some on-screen dev stuff of BioShock 2 in the movie after the break, if textureless models of large-nosed men do it for you.
There's also talk of 4.00am videoconferencing with 2K's Australian studio. It's tough at the top, bucko. Watch and see after the break, but be warned: there's a few BioShock 1 spoilers in there.

Levine: We won't show new game for "some time"
BioShock legend Ken Levine's said there won't be a sniff of his new, super-secret project for a while yet.
"Our new project is something we're champing at the bit to talk about," he told Gamespot.
"But we're not showing it to anybody and won't be for some time. In fact, the only way to get a look at it is to interview for a job with us."
Levine did expand a little on the game, giving out the most detail on the title so far.
"Boston is focused on our next project, which will probably come as a huge surprise to our audience and yet at the same time will make total sense once they see it. I will say that we're clicking on all cylinders," he said.
"Besides delivering on the narrative experience we're known for, it will include a type of gameplay that is completely new to us–something the BioShock team has never really explored in depth before. In all areas (art, design, and programming), we spend half our day being totally psyched, and half our day wondering what we've gotten ourselves into. We're kind of humbled by the challenge.
"We've been in a huge recruiting frenzy to staff up for it. We've got a gaggle of Boston folks going to GDC next week to show the colors and press the flesh. In a world where world-class, brilliant developers like Ensemble no longer exist, I'm pleased to say we're hiring. Maybe some of the industry's brilliant refugees will seek out our staffers in their 'Be big in Boston' shirts at GDC. You know, 'Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled experts in C++.'"
Expect more titbits from GDC next week.

Job listing calls BioShock developer's next game a "AAA multiplayer title"
According to a job listing posted on Gamasutra, 2K Boston's next game will be a huge departure from its single player-focused descent into madness, BioShock. Pulling a complete 180, the game will instead be an "action-packed AAA multiplayer title."
"The BioShock team is betting big on multiplayer and plans to stay at the top of the charts– we're careful about the problems we tackle, innovative in our approach, solid in our implementation, and we polish the heck out of everything we do," reads the listing.
"Right now we're looking for an exceptional individual to direct the development of this multiplayer experience through a combination of leadership, design, coding, and daily problem solving on the gameplay networking and backend server components."
As of now, three platforms can barely be seen amongst a forest of question marks: PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. Not surprising, since the title runs on a version of Epic's Unreal Engine 3.
Somehow, we doubt 2K will have much trouble filling this position.

IGN gives BioShock PS3 a cool 9.4/10 (update)
Update: EG's given it a 10.
Update 2: PSM3, via CVG, has given it 9.3/10.
IGN's BioShock PS3 review is up, and it's glowing. The 9.4/10 score says "buy it": the closing comments say, "Buy it if you haven't played it before." See:
If you never experienced the halls of Rapture and have been waiting for its appearance on the PS3, there really is no discussion to be had. Go out and get your hands on BioShock — you will thoroughly enjoy exploring the incredible story and the excellent action that the game is known for. However, if you've played the game before, or are expecting this to be the definitive version, that's not fully found here. Sure, the full trophy support and Survivor mode are great, and the Challenge Rooms could add a ton to the replayability (whenever it's implemented). However, old glitches that should've been fixed in the PS3 development hold this version back from being completely realized.
Game's out Friday. Full thing through the link. The site's video review is after the break.

BioShock PS3 gets launch trailer
After the break. Despite a bunch of ignorable whinging to the contrary in the past few days, there's nothing shabby about the PS3 port of Ken Levine's flawed masterpiece as far as we can see.

Levine: "I got some nasty fucking threats" over PC BioShock DRM
Ken Levine's revealed that the security measures for the PC version of BioShock got him into very hot water with some of the more avid gamers in the audience.
"When we had the copy protection issues come out, I was out there talking about the product, I didn't run away from that. And frankly I got some nasty fucking threats," Levine told PC Zone.
"I think it's important that somebody takes responsibility, and at the end of the day my job as creative director is to sort of be the arbiter of taste.
"With great power comes great responsibility, right?"
The protection on the game meant an internet connection was required to play, and only two installs were allowed per copy.

Hands-on with BioShock PS3, new movies posted
Gamespot's posted up a hands-on with the PS3 version of BioShock, out on October 24. Snip:
Outside of the proper single-player experience, we had a chance to try the Survivor mode, which offers a greater level of challenge that forces you to be smarter about how you play the game. Enemy behavior has been tweaked, and the damage you cause has been modified, so you won't be sailing through the mode even if you're familiar with the original game.
There are three new movies after the break, including footage of the new Survivor mode and Trophy options.

Levine on System Shock 3: "Would I turn my nose up at another round with Shodan? No"
2K Boston's Ken Levine has told VG247 that he "loves" the world of System Shock and would be interested in a third game in the EA-owned series if the opportunity arose.
"Would I turn my nose up at another round with Shodan? No," he said.
When asked specifically if he would ever make System Shock 3, Levine said: "Life is long. Who knows. But right now, certainly, I'm engaged with my employer, Take-Two, who doesn't have ownership of that franchise."
He added: "I love Shodan, I love the world."
System Shock has been dead for almost ten years now, with System Shock 2 releasing in 1999.
Levine is currently working on a secret project at Take-Two, while BioShock 2 is being built primarily at 2K Marin in California.

BioShock movie won't be "Kate Hudson hunting for pirate treasure," says Levine
Big-shot Hollywood film guy Gore Verbinski "gets" the BioShock franchise. Ken Levine told us so last week. So don't expect pretty blondes with unsmudged make-up impaling themselves on muscle-bound dunderheads in the screen adaptation of the 2K Boston game.
"You're always going to be worried that in that first meeting they're going to be, like, 'OK, it's Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey on a desert island hunting for pirate treasure,' but it's not going to go that way," said Levine, talking to VG247 at Develop.
"My expectation at this time, from everything that I've heard, is that it will very much honour the dramatic and thematic elements of the game… They certainly understand the material and are able to provide a stamp of their own."
While Levine said there's only been talking up to this point and he hasn't actually seen anything of the film itself, it sounds as though Verbinski and script writer John Logan are now actively involved in the project.
"I think they're a little generous with their time," Levine said of the pair.
"It's hard, just in the fact it's a movie. You have to walk that line between the fact that it's a property you love, and honouring that property, and realising it's a game. We've sat down a couple of times and had conversations, and we've talked with John who's working on stuff."
The movie isn't slated for release until 2010, but Levine told us that Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick has been careful about the deal he struck for the venture, despite dogged interest in the rights.
"There was a lot of interest early on, and at some points it became so intense that I thought it may at least get optioned," he said when asked if he knew BioShock would be made into a film from the start.
"The movie industry's strange. A lot of things get optioned. In the movie industry you can option very cheaply, and so it really came down to what Take-Two did. Strauss [Zelnick, Take-Two's chairman - Ed] was very particular about making sure it got made. There's no point in tying up the rights and having all the complications unless it got made in the right way.
"They did a really good deal, not in terms of the financials, but in terms of the people he chose to work with, and how it's going to impact on the franchise… there are a lot of smart people involved."

So who the hell is Benji Bronk?
He's the heckler who disrupted Anthony Weiner's press conference yesterday afternoon.
As the New York congressman intoned his prepared text, apologizing for texting salacious messages and photos to constituents and fans, taking responsibility for his actions, apologizing to his wife Huma Abedin, apologizing to the staff and supporters he betrayed, and finally resigning, Bronk shouted amidst the scrum of whirring cameras and flashing lights.
"How big is your penis!? Seven inches?! "
Bronk is a writer for The Howard Stern Show. Fans of the show—like me—know he is 43, though he lied and concealed his age for many months until Howard Stern News reporter Steve Langford finally dug out the truth. Bronk is Jewish, from the South, perpetually horny, morose about his career, struggling to move up a rung. He carries a chip on his shoulder the size of a Walmart. On a show that elevates every participant, even every intern, to supporting character status, Bronk's persona is that of an attention-starved, off-kilter sexually hyperactive man-child
Howard credits Bronk with being a good writer, if a very strange man. His finest moment may not have been Weinergate, but several months ago when he came across the comedian Tracy Morgan on a Manhattan street. Bronk started helping Morgan, acting like he was part of Morgan's entourage. When Morgan asked, "Who are you?" Bronk responded, "I am part of your life." It was creepy and brilliant and inspired—even Morgan later came on the show and said so.
Story continues after the jump.
Video courtesy of ABC News.
But why would Bronk disrupt what is supposed to be a solemn moment in the life of an American politician?
For years, one of the hardest parts of the Stern Show for me to appreciate was the faux journalism. Howard sends staffers into the world posing as reporters—people like Stuttering John, Gary Garver, Benjy Bronk. They identify themselves as reporters either from the stations Howard has worked for, or from Sirius Satellite Radio. They get access to newsmakers and celebrities. Then they ask about penis size. Or if someone ever said the N word. I remember cringing when Stuttering John asked Water Chronkite if he ever peed in the shower. I had to actually turn the radio off when he asked Dustin Hoffman if he ever farted in the bathtub.
I cringe, but inevitably I find myself smiling. It's awful. It mocks journalism. And it's funny.
For Stern, the ambush interviews serve two purposes. They provide content for the show. The reactions of the interviewees are the radio equivalent of those embarrassing Enquirer photos. Sometimes the Stern staffers are forcibly removed or shouted down. That's good radio too.
They also give the show free publicity. It's a really cheap way of branding the Stern show using other people's cameras. Last night Bronk's name and face were all over TV news. MSNBC's Lawrence O 'Donnell did a whole segment just on the disruption. Bronk's face—round, sweaty, half-covered in a ski-cap—filled the corner of the screen.
But beyond those immediate functions, Stern's use of ambush reporters does something else: it punctures the pomposity that passes as importance in our over-inflated political and celebrity culture.
Really, how seriously should we take a press conference featuring a congressman who texts his naked, challah-looking penis to admirers? How seriously should we take a press corp that sends 40 cameras and reporters to cover Weinergate, while news stories from Africa to Alabama go unreported? If the media wants to fiddle while America burns, Howard Stern will be there to demonstrate just how foolish they are. Sure Bronk's questions are rude and silly, but how important is this story that it should suck all the coverage and resources away from serious stories about the soldiers dying in Afghanistan, the Medicare debacle, et al? Bronk is at least paid to be funny. He's doing his job: is MSNBC? Fox? NBC?
In other words, sure Bronk is making a mockery of the news media. But can you really make a mockery of a mockery?

I'm watching Anthony Weiner roast in public humiliation, and I can't help thinking: If he had only paid attention to Howard.
The congressman, whose shocking shirtless tweets have by now pretty much sunk his political career, is a classic case of someone who used the Howard Stern Show for publicity, who maybe enjoyed Howard, but who but didn't learn from it.
Because here's Howard Rule #1: Be Honest.
A couple of days ago, Howard himself said it best: He has built his successful carer by telling his audience the truth about himself. By not hiding the darkest parts of his personality. By being honest.
Skidmarks, masturbation, pornography, marital temptation, flirtations— Howard talks about every aspect of himself. In doing so he has all but inoculated himself against public humiliation. What could possibly come out about Howard that would be more shocking than what he himself has revealed? Nothing. Unless it turns out he drowns puppies in his fish tank, nothing.
When you can't express your urges, they can overtake you. If you refuse to face the darker parts of yourself, they can end up defining you. For a public figure, the more honest you are, the less likely your life will be revealed as scandalous. In over 30 years in the public eye, Howard has constantly shocked people, but never once has he surprised them. In other words, by owning up to his foibles, by talking early and often about them, he has controlled the shock value of his life.
Early in his career Howard decided to tell people the truth about his life. That single decision not only changed radio—as I wrote a couple days ago, among other things it made the airwaves safe for the word penis—it made him into the rare public figure who is almost scandal proof.
That doesn't mean Howard doesn't have secrets, or doesn't present a persona to his audience that doesn't 100 percent jive with the real Howard—of course he does. But when it comes to the areas of life we expect our public personalities to hide—their psychological challenges and physical weaknesses and public humiliations and sexual peccadilloes—Howard has been quite open and entertaining about these. The only way Howard can be accused of hypocrisy, of his public image not comporting with his private one, is if he turns out to be normal. Do you see the genius here? The only thing that can be revealed about Howard, that he has not revealed himself, is his normalcy, his goodness, his menschiness.
Hindsight is 20/20, but if Weiner on his Stern Show appearances had slowly revealed his struggles with whatever the hell is bothering him (Sexual frustration? Body hair?) the revelations now either wouldn't have happened or wouldn't have been so explosive.
And when they did become public, instead of doubling down on his lies and obfuscation, he should have again followed Howard's rule and just been brutally honest: It's me. I did it. I need some help.
We all hide. We all need help. None of us gets all our desires met, or all our fantasies fulfilled. To various degrees, each one of us is, as Howard's theme song says, "a tortured man."
Howard has taught me how to take control of the shock value of my life. When I write or speak, I strive to reveal as much as I can about myself—what happened to me, what I'm feeling, what I'm thinking. Not talking these things to others allows them a power over our private life that eventually sinks our public lives.
I do believe Anthony Weiner will be reborn as a superb and better paid TV pundit like Elliot Spitzer. If you've heard him on Howard or watched his YouTube rants against FoxNews anchors, you'll see what an adept and entertaining speaker he can be. If The Jewish Journal had two nickels and a TV studio, I'd hire him today.
But I would only do so on one condition: Be yourself, Anthony. Or, at least, be more like Howard Stern.

We are living through a time of unprecedented penis talk.
Between Congressman Anthony Weiner's sexting scandal, and the attempts to ban circumcision through the ballot box, the news cycle has turned into one long crotch watch.
And who deserves credit for making the world safe for public penis talk? Howard Stern.
His show pushed the boundaries of what was considered an appropriate topic for the airwaves. As far back as the early 1980s, he was incorporating penis jokes and skits into his radio show (remember the infamous kielbasa-swallower?) and making his obsession with his small penis size an ongoing show myth (Yes, myth. He's 6'5". The same Hox genes that control limb size influence penis size). Stern's focus on genitalia was one of the reasons he was kicked off KNBC, and the source of many of his run ins with the FCC. Fittingly, he named his 1993 autobiography, and the subsequent film, Private Parts.
Howard didn't start people thinking about penises, but he pioneered the very idea that it was okay to talk about what everybody was thinking about, anyway. Today's generation of show producers, newscasters and viewers grew up either listening to Stern, or in a world that he had prepped for the P word. And today's network executives grew up watching Stern reap enormous ratings and success by talking penis. Critics always accused Howard of having the maturity of a 14 year old boy—but Howard revealed that most of us are right there with him.
In doing so, he stiffened the spine of all of us in media who have to make decisions about what is or is not "appropriate" to say or print. My first editorial decision at the paper was whether to do a story on oral sex in the wake of the Clinton/Lewinsky Scandal. Listening to Howard, I knew that there was no reason not to just talk about what everybody was thinking about. I steeled my nerves and put the story on the first cover I ever edited for The Jewish Journal. There was a shitstorm of backlash. Not one positive letter to the editor. One of LA's biggest rabbis publicly excoriated me. And that issue of The Jewish Journal? Every single copy was picked up.
So now, thanks in part to Howard, the P word is filling the airwaves. We are on a 24 hour penis news cycle, broadcasters are giddy with puns, Jon Stewart, Howard's direct satiric spawn, is in his glory, and it's as if America doesn't need to worry for a second about unemployment, the deficit, dying soldiers in Afghanistan, cutbacks in social services, or any of those things that pale in significance to…penises. I don't speak Chinese, but I am going to bet that while we're fiddling around with our penis stories, China's media is urging the people on to greater success and productivity. Yes, we're screwed.
We can only hope that the penis obsession returns to the place where it began and where it belongs, The Howard Stern Show. Then CNN and MSNBC can go back to covering more important things. Like vaginas.

Last night at the tail end of a huge Jewish Federation banquet, at least 2/3 of the 1300 guests had left the cavernous Barker Hanger venue, the night was winding down, and it looked like nothing in the world would bring the dwindling crowd back to life.
Then Federation President Jay Sanderson took the mike and called the band Train onto stage.
And then, as the Man says, there was light.
Lead singer Pat Monhan started in on "Soul Sister," and those who were left leapt to their feet and raced to the stage. The band ripped through all the hits, Soul Sister, "Marry Me," "Drops of Jupiter," "Calling All Angels," and it was like music magic. Old Jews, young Jews, non-Jews, people who were fans (like me), people who wouldn't know Train from Paul Anka, they turned into a frenzied tribe. It wasn't clear Monahan knew where he was or who he was singing to—he thanked "the Jewish society"—but the man knows his craft. He bounces around the stage skinny as Jagger but a lot less threatening/druggy/wizened, and then jumped down into the crowd and posed for pictures as he sang, and just WORKED it.
Why is this a Howard Stern blog post? Because Train credits Howard with sticking by them when their carerre tanked, with constantly promoting them, with SAVING them. Howard has done deep, moving interviews with Pat, who I came to feel I knew through the show. Howard certainly turned a world of fans, like me, onto Train.
I iPhoned a bit of the finale, just so you can get a taste of how great the moment was.
Thanks, Howard.

Tonight I'm moderating a discussion between Rabbi Mark Borovitz and Noel Biederman, the founder of the web site AshleyMadison.com. I first heard Biederman on the Howard Stern Show. Howard's incisive interviews with him exposed all the genius and complexities behind the man and his site, which facilitates adulterous affairs online. When I read a Bloomberg News story describing how AshleyMadison.com is a runaway internet sensation, I suggested to our Singles blogger, Ilana Angel, that she weigh in on the subject. Biederman is Jewish, and I was fascinated about how he handles moral criticism of his enterprise. Ilana's fiery blog posts caught the attention of Biederman himself, the two began an e-mail debate, they met, fell in love…. No. That last part didn't happen. Biederman is happily married. Ilana even had the chutzpah to interview his wife. The interviews evolved into a suggestion that The Jewish Journal arrange a dialogue among Ilana, a rabbi and Biederman here in LA. That dialogue is taking place tonight with Rabbi Markl Borovitz, Biederman, and me, as the moderator. A major media outlet is filming it for a documentary on adultery.
And, needless to say, in my opening remarks, I'll have to thank the man who inspired it all, Howard Stern.

The Howard 100 News Team did a piece on my last post about Gary Dellabate's leadership woes. Gary, it turns out, was not a fan.
After the news piece I genuinely felt bad for being perceived as piling on Gary—a popular Stern Show sport. I meant every word I wrote about what an accomplished producer he is, but he's the one who is constantly complaining about the staff not respecting him, and about Howard undermining his authority. Those were the complaints I asked Drew Kugler to address.
Then again, maybe it's none of my business. The magic of the Stern show is that it pulls you into a universe of people and issues that really have nothing to do with your life. You get caught up in it, like a batty old man talking back to his television. I have no clue to what extent Gary's complaints are real or "for the show." I have no idea who Gary is, beyond how he comes across on my car radio. If his complaints about being disrespected are entirely an act, then I stand corrected—and he's a damn good actor.

Sometimes I listen to Howard to learn what to do—these are what I call the Stern Rules. (By the way, a business writer not long ago enumerated some of his own, well worth reading here).
And sometimes I listen to Howard to learn what NOT to do.
Yes, Gary, I'm talking about you.
Over the past few weeks the show has focused on producer Gary Dellabate's inability to get his candidacy for a volunteer position on his town's Parks and Recreation commission approved. Gary has played the hapless victim while some local yenta organized baseless opposition to him— either because she finds the Stern show distasteful, or because she's a publicity hound.
Then, today, Howard asked Gary to deal with a personnel dispute live on the radio, and Gary fumbled. Later on the Wrap Up show he complained about not getting the respect for his leadership he deserves. Thanks, Gary, for a lesson in How Not to Manage 101.
Before I turn to the expert, I do need to say Gary is arguably the most successful radio producer of his generation. The show is great—people devote whole blogs to it!—and he deserves credit for helping it be great. Who knows how many fires he has to put out, personalities he has to referee, decisions he has to instantly make— all the while putting out a fast paced show. And he's been doing it for 20 years, and every year gets better. Gary Dellabate is a superb radio producer.
But he does has a weakness as a manager, and though it makes for good radio, it's clearly bothering him.
I loved Howard's rant on this really hit home with me. "I got into this business to do great radio, not to manage poeople's problems!": he ranted (I'm paraphrasing). "I don't want to deal with this bullshit! You take care of it!" Oy, could I relate. How many of us who go into a profession for creative reasons end up getting sucked into all the administrative and interpersonal decisions that inevitably come up? Suffice it to say, I feel Howard's pain.
As for Gary, I'm no expert, but I did what he should do: I consulted an expert.
Drew Kugler gets paid big bucks to fly around the country consulting with CEOs and other executives on how to be more effective at their jobs. He spoke on management at the TED conference, and he has changed the lives of some big people in town I respect. Our paths crossed because he's a Jewish Journal reader (I WISH I could use him—can't afford him) and he was kind enough to write a piece for us about the management lessons in The Kings Speech. During our lunch, he started talking about Howard Stern—and what can I say, he had me at Baba Booey.
Drew, it turns out, is a Howard Stern fan. (I'll say it again: the Howard Stern demo is not butt scratching beer guzzling sexually frustrated losers; it is mostly successful professional men and women like Drew AND butt scratching beer guzzling sexually frustrated losers.)
I asked Drew what he would tell Gary, and Drew nailed it: Think of the stutter that kept King George from believing in himself, from finding his true voice and potential. Howard Stern, said Drew, is Gary Dellabate's stutter. Read on to see what Drew means:
"If Gary REALLY wants things to change (the skeptic would say it's all part of creating great radio to denigrate him), he must look in the mirror and accept that the way he's acting is at the heart of the disrespect," Drew e-mailed me.
"What is he doing that is worthy of following, that is worthy of being called Leadership? Not much at all. He could change that, but not with the choices he's making now. It's only going to get worse."
"Gary must pay attention to the things that he's doing and not doing that kill his influence. And then he must try new ways to get at this very old problem."
"He seemingly is constantly belittling how he's treated. Repeatedly, he literally whines that no one respects him (Fails to Communicate, says Jon Hein), and then in the next breath throws up his hands when asked why. He blames everyone for the problem, and refuses to verbally accept that he has the responsibility to work on it and get better. Thus, people continue to assume he has no ability or willingness to lead a solution."
"He then and repeatedly blames Howard, which by the way, makes him look even more impotent. Complaining is the Opposite of Leadership, Baba! Bring ideas and invite people to work to make things better."
"Stop telling yourself and the world around you that you can't Lead. Would you follow you? I doubt it."
"He's worse off today after the Lisa/TV incident, and I am confident it will show in people's future treatment of him."
"He's focusing on feeling sorry for himself and why he can't change anything. It's the same as King George in The King's Speech, except that Gary doesn't have a stutter. No, scratch that: Howard is the Stutter! The King blamed his plight in life and his inability to change on his stutter. At the heart of it, Gary blames Howard for all of his management weakness. That neuters him. He can't change Howard. When the King decided to change, it was by taking the emphasis away from his limitation and practicing new thinking and actions."
Lesson: don't blame others, and don't blame Howard, and don't blame "what makes good radio." Work on changing your actions and reactions in a given situation… and before you know it, look who's the boss.

A couple of days ago someone thought to compare Charlie Sheen quotes to Qadaffi quotes. Funny bit. Picked up and done everywhere by now, even CNN spotlighted the idea.
But here's Howard—pushing the idea WAY further. Today on the show Howard had Robin play a game where she had to guess who said the quote, Charlie Sheen or… Charles Manson.
The idea was brilliant, shocking… and really funny. Here's a sample I pulled from Howardstern.com:
Howard asked Robin to play a game with him: he reads a quote, and she has to guess who said it—Charlie Sheen or Charles Manson. The quotes, followed by Robin's guess and the answer:
1. "I have a disease? Bullshit. I cured it with my brain." Robin's guess: Charlie Sheen. The correct answer: Charlie Sheen.
2. "You can't process me with a normal brain." Robin's guess: Charles Manson. The correct answer: Charlie Sheen.
3. "You eat meat and you kill things that are better than you are." Robin's guess: Charles Manson. The correct answer: Charles Manson.
4. "Can't is the cancer of happening." Robin's guess: Charlie Sheen. The correct answer: Charlie Sheen.
5. "The real strong have no need to prove it to the phonies." Robin's guess: Charles Manson. The correct answer: Charles Manson.
Stern also held a Beauty Pageant with some of the lovely young ladies Sheen has hosted.
The lesson? Howard has a way of pushing the boundaries on stories and jokes even when the stories themselves break those boundaries. As far out as things get, Howard has a way of pushing them farther.
That's why, when the whole world is listening to Charlie Sheen, Charlie Sheen is listening to Howard Stern.
