Date: August 08 2012
MOVIEGOERS will have to wait an extra six months to see Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby.
The Hollywood studio Warner Bros has pushed back the release from Christmas Day in the United States - and January 10 in Australia - to the next American summer.
The original release date for the movie, which was shot in Sydney and the Blue Mountains with a cast headed by Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and Carey Mulligan, allowed it to qualify for next year's Academy Awards. The new date, described only by Warner Bros as ''summer 2013'', now puts it in the thick of Hollywood's blockbuster season.
The studio's president of domestic distribution, Dan Fellman, said it made sense to ensure the 3D adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's famous novel was seen by the largest audience possible.
"Based on what we've seen, Baz Luhrmann's incredible work is all we anticipated and so much more,'' he said.
''It truly brings Fitzgerald's American classic to life in a completely immersive, visually stunning and exciting way.''
The president of international distribution for Warner Bros, Veronika Kwan Vandenberg, said: ''The responses we've had to some of the early sneak peeks have been phenomenal and we think The Great Gatsby will be the perfect summer movie around the world."
The move was considered a surprise in Hollywood given the buzz about DiCaprio being a leading contender for next year's best actor Oscar and the promising look of the movie's trailer.
It is believed Warner Bros executives still see the movie as an Oscars contender, just a year later than expected.
''There's no way of knowing whether Warner's actually decided that the film's release would be better served by a summer release - when it will certainly serve as good counter-programming to the usual summer shlock - or whether it came to the conclusion that the film wouldn't be able to hold its own against this year's stiff awards competition,'' The Hollywood Reporter commented.
Variety noted The Great Gatsby was among a flurry of movies to shift recently into next year, including Warner Bros's Man of Steel, Jack the Giant Killer and Gangster Squad and Paramount's World War Z, Hansel and Gretel and G.I. Joe: Retaliation.

Commuters and day-trippers might do a double-take at the gas station after the biggest one-day jump in pump prices in nearly two years.
The nationwide average price for a gallon of gas jumped 4 cents overnight to $3.46 a gallon, according to AAA. That makes a three-day gain of 10 cents and, for the first time in 2013, gas now costs more than it did a year ago.
The biggest increases happened out West. The average price in California rose nearly 6 cents yesterday to $3.82 a gallon.
The largest previous one-day gain occurred on March 4, 2011, when the average price jumped by 4.4 cents.
Overall, gas prices are now up 17 cents this year. The main reason is a 6.5 percent increase in the price of oil. But a heavy schedule of January maintenance at West Coast refineries has contributed to sharply higher prices. Meanwhile, gold gained yesterday for the third time in four days as U.S. hiring picked up in the past three months, signaling an improving economy that might fuel inflation as the Federal Reserve adds more stimulus.
Gold futures climbed $8.80 to settle at $1,669.40 an ounce on the Comex in New York.

With more than 75 million unique viewers a month the website video is one of the web's top video content providers now they're offering their content creators.
Some new ways to make money off of the videos they post to the site now.
Here with the details is -- CEO Kerry trainer pleasure to have you here on money great to be had the system.
I know from your site you can post a video for free you can buy service you can upgrade essentially.
-- the Cadillac of call it -- service.
But now the people posting.
Can make money.
Two ways the first of which is going to start very soon tell me about.
Its share so video has always been dedicated to providing -- high quality video sharing platform on the land and because of that it's attracted a very unique set of creators.
Over the years and we think is it.
Establish a very unique catalog of high quality content.
It's always been a part of the -- not just provide a great environment to showcases content but to start to empower these creators to start to build businesses are having -- making money.
So there's two ways that they can make money.
The first -- we're announcing that -- today as this feature called tip jar and tip -- exactly what it sounds like which invites viewers to voluntarily.
Contribute so so let me stop here at this.
You can put it typify look at video that I've seen from some was created and posted to -- -- -- that I can put attempt I have to buy credits of some sort through them young and I deposit the credit out notices directly through your credit card or your PayPal account I've.
Viewer can contribute directly to decorator that's great and that and that now you have to earn a bid to run this site so what is it 15% a deficit we are -- that we are returning 85% of the proceeds to the creator 15% to cover -- -- this sounds a lot simpler than what a competitor viewers who -- jokingly refer to was evil empire they YouTube.
-- they've got the advertising sharing -- you're not doing that with your content creators now we're not and and I think it's one of the things that this stems from one of the many ways -- -- is different.
We believe that this is the most direct way to connect creators and their audience isn't sort of build revenues that way.
We do have advertising on our site in fact we have three separate revenue streams we have the subscription service which you referred to earlier where creators can -- upgraded versions of our tools we also have transaction businesses -- which we would put tip jar.
And then the second service that we can talk about -- the -- to view service coming but that's -- -- that this is what's worrying me because I work in a world where I think we're all headed to pay per view look at and I TV stations and cable networks may be a little bit different coming down the -- but nationwide broadbent.
Paper view what does it mean -- -- -- buffer us we're going to pay TV service is a little bit more flexible than just the explicit well I'd pay to view -- one time.
And what we're what we're introducing is I'm away for creators have been sent a pay wall in front of -- actually where there's a payment required to view the contents.
Numbers tip jar you view the -- -- contribute voluntarily pay to view the creator of set up a pay while actually.
Have -- -- hypothetically fox business group could bypass a Time Warner Cable mystery to -- -- and then if you wanted to watch money with Melissa Francis.
You'd have it on video -- pay 25 cents whom you got the hourlong shows that what we're talking about yes but I'm certainly not gonna come here insight.
Tell you got to get into that yes that could happen -- do you think you know potentially is this where all of kind of video broadcast contact consumption is going to be headed it may take years to get there.
Well I think you're right and that the general approach of the general availability it is so much more video programming is coming on demand.
And we're seeing not only explosion in very in lots of different services including ours but also across all the different platforms.
But there's a television -- to desktop whether it's a tablet is mobile.
And so -- -- it is intersection of all the different devices and all the different delivery mechanisms whether it's coaxial cable -- its IP or its web based.
And it's -- right now we're right in the middle of this crazy an interesting time it's it's sorting itself -- this is not about.
Three screens your computer your TV and you know your mobile device I think it's a few more screens it is Smartphone yes -- at least -- war but -- the end of the day how much potentially to have you done any kind of metrics on how much of content creator can make this off the tip -- You know it's a great question and we haven't really.
Developed any explicit projections.
Because we also think there were opening up a whole new facet of the paid video market in general.
In that you know we're not going out like other companies in trying to acquire very traditional television -- feature film contents.
This is an entirely new set of content -- of -- for style or genre so.
You know we don't really know how big the market cats but one of the things we're most excited has just offerings tools and and -- where I'm gonna suggest that Melissa have you back on the show because as a whole discussion we don't have time for about outlook ala carte pricing which like cable networks have been discussing and then that cable providers have been fighting in.
I think -- it's way it's kind of what I think you're describing but -- -- we appreciate your being here.
Video -- video dot com writers go upload your videos -- that make some money attitude thank you sir for being here thank you Adam.

Dear Delilah,
Every year during the Christmas season my family and I tune into your show. The stories you share inspire us, fill us with joy, and remind us just what Christmas is truly about. This year we decided it was time to share our Christmas with you and your audience.
We live nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains where there is an abundance of wildlife. One Christmas I was reminded that it's often the pure magic of Christmas that makes life long memories- not the size of the gifts, or the opulence of decorating. After a long day of wrapping, baking and last minute errands, we stumbled in from a Christmas Eve church service. We finally quieted the children and tucked them into bed. As was a ritual, we cracked their windows so they could hear Santa's sleigh bells as he arrived. Santa's helper would venture outside and ring sleigh bells. Always to their delight, my children would spring from their beds to see if they could catch a glimpse of the jolly ol' man. This particular year, we threw open the blinds, "and what to our wondering eyes should appear?" There on a hill behind the house silhouetted against the Christmas sky were 8 male deer with large antlers. They had conveniently lined up in a row as if they had been pulling Santa's sleigh. My children just stood there slack jawed and wide-eyed, this holiday image imprinted on their minds forever. The memories of gifts received are soon forgotten, however this story is always revisited year after year rekindling our Christmas spirit.
Merry Christmas,
What's the holiday story you tell over and over again? Is it a story of the wonder of hearing "Santa's" jingling bells outside your window as a child? Is it a story of the perfect holiday gift that came in the form of your child or grandchild? Is it a story of comedy, the night Christmas dinner was burnt to a crisp? Is it a story of giving, and surprising a needy family with Christmas gifts? Or is it a story of tradition, and hiking two days into the mountains every year to find the perfect Christmas tree?
I love your stories! I use your stories and I share them to spread the Christmas spirit and the magic that makes this time of year so very special. I hope to keep sharing more wonderful stories like Nancy's, so call me at 1-888-633-5452 or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and tell me yours today.

If your friend called you and said she was drunk at a party and needed a ride home, what would you do?
Most people would probably answer "go and pick her up so she's safe and doesn't climb into a car with someone who's been drinking."
And that's exactly what 17-year-old North Andover resident Erin Cox did. And that's why she's been suspended from the varsity volleyball team, WBZ is reporting.
Cox went to a party in Boxford to pick up her friend, and the police reportedly arrived and arrested underage drinkers. Cox was summonsed for being at the party, The Boston Herald reports.
Cox was stripped of her title as captain of the North Andover High School Girls Volleyball team. She's been suspended for five games as well.
Her family attempted to file suit to block the suspension, but that attempt was knocked down by the courts.
The incident has sparked outrage from local teens and parents who say Cox is being unfairly punished for doing the right thing.
On Barstool Sports, one blogger writes:
"So I guess what North Andover is saying here is they'd rather have drunk high school kids drive themselves home, risk killing people rather than having sober friends pick them up. That's pretty much the precedent they are setting here right? That if your drunk friend calls you and asks for a ride home you should just ignore them."
What do you think? Do you agree with the school's decision to strip Cox of the captaincy and suspend her for five games?

IRON MOUNTAIN -- Back in December, TV6's Iron Mountain-Kingsford bureau reporter Adam Chick went looking for the perfect Christmas gifts for gals.
Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and you guessed it, this time he's looking for the perfect Valentine's Day gift.
Can you really get away with the standard chocolates and a card on Valentine's Day anymore? That may have worked in elementary school, but not so much anymore.
"A big diamond," said Sherri Erickson.
Well, diamonds are certainly nice and are usually a safe bet.
"Diamonds you can't go wrong with," Erickson says. "They match everything."
But what about somebody on a budget?
"Flowers would be nice; it would be a big surprise because usually I have to take care of that myself," said Linnea Marchetti.
But no matter what your budget, a handwritten card is a special touch.
"Handwritten card is important," said Kelli Frappier. "Don't just buy me something. Remind me why you're buying it."
And there's always the ever popular tropical vacation.
"A cruise," said Toni Lori. "A cruise in the Carribean."
So let's compare. On Christmas, diamonds are out, but certainly in on Valentine's Day. Chocolates are actually favored more on Christmas, while flowers get the nod on Valentine's Day. But the ever popular massage gift certificate and exotic vacation is apparently acceptable at any point during the year.
But at the end of the day, that age old adage, "it's the thought that counts," still applies.
"I love gifts," said Debbie Gursky, "and I know if somebody gets me something, I know they've spent the time to do it."
Engagement rings and things like that are obviously usually for people that have been involved for quite a while. However, if you haven't been involved that long and are maybe interested in still buying some jewelry, I'm told there are some very nice things available for under $100.

in response to Opus:
The thing about is, should gays be allowed to be included in things heterosexuals are?
The answer is yes. I want everyone to know that I grappled with this for a long time.
I had a gay teacher. I was told he was gay but never believed it. Sometime after I graduated I got married. He invited my wife and son, to come to his house for dinner. I had still believed he wasn't gay, especially because I was certain when I was young that gay guys didn't want to be around straight guys and I was even more sure that Black men weren't gay.
I was wrong on both counts. At one point when we were walking in his back yard he confessed that he was in love with me. I never said anything to my wife but we left and I never wanted to see him again. a year later I was in a car accident and my wife and son were killed. He came to the funeral to express his sincere sorrow at my pain. I avoided him like the plague even though he had genuine concern for my loss. He died a year later and I never went to his funeral.
Years later I looked back and realized I had been a coward for not remaining his friend. It was not his fault he was different then me. I vowed to never turn anyone who was gay away for simply being gay. For that matter no one of any race, or ethnic background. for the next 40 years I have been brave enough to accept the life styles of others, accept the races and backgrounds of others till they prove they are not worthy of my friendship.
I believe everyone should be like I am now, not like I as a young man.
I rest my case.

Judd Hirsch Movies
Born March 15th, 1935, Bronx-native
Judd Hirsch
attended CCNY, where he majored in engineering and physics. A blossoming fascination in the theatre convinced Hirsch that his future lay in acting. He studied at the AADA and worked with a Colorado stock company before his 1966 Broadway debut in
Barefoot in the Park
. He spent many years at New York's Circle Repertory, where he appeared in the first-ever production of Lanford Wilson's The Hot L Baltimore. After an auspicious TV-movie bow in the well-received The Law (1974), Hirsch landed his first weekly-series assignment, playing the title character in the cop drama Delvecchio (1976-77). From 1978 to 1982, he was seen as Alex Reiger in the popular ensemble comedy Taxi, earning two Emmies in the process.
While occupied with Taxi, Hirsch found time to act off-Broadway, winning an Obie award for the 1979 production Talley's Folly. In the following decade, he was honored with two Tony Awards for the Broadway efforts
I'm Not Rappoport
and Conversations with My Father. His post-Taxi TV series roles include Press Wyman in
Detective in the House
(1985) and his Golden Globe-winning turn as John Lacey in Dear John (1988-92). Judd Hirsch could also be seen playing
Jeff Goldblum
's father in the movie blockbuster
Independence Day
(1996). In 2001, Hirsch co-starred with Paul Bettany and Christopher Plummer in the multi-Award winning biopic A Beautiful Mind.
The actor once again found success on the television screen in CBS' drama Numb3rs, in which he took on the role of Alan Eppes, father of FBI agent Don Eppes (Rob Morrow) and Professor Charlie Eppes (David Krumholtz). After appearing on all four seaons of Numb3rs, Hirsch took a small role in director Brett Ratner's crime comedy Tower Heist (2011). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Fifty-year-old retired goth rocker Cheyenne (Sean Penn) travels from London to New York to visit his dying father, and then journeys across the United States on a mission to seek revenge against the elusive ex-Nazi war criminal who persecuted his dad in Auschwitz. Despondent after two of his young fans commit suicide, Cheyenne retreats to his Dublin mansion and begins living off of his royalties alongside his down-to-earth wife Jane (Frances McDormand). Later, he receives word that his father is dying in New York City. Although they haven't spoken in 30 years, he boards the first available flight to bid his dad farewell. Unfortunately, Cheyenne arrives too late. Upon reconnecting with his cousin Richard (Liron Levo), however, the morose musician learns that his father, a Holocaust survivor, had been tracking Auschwitz guard Aloise Lange (Heinz Lieven) around America for decades. Filled with ennui yet determined not to let Lange escape unpunished, Cheyenne vows to pick up the mission his father left uncompleted. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The workers at a posh Central Park condominium plot to steal back their pensions from the thieving Wall Street billionaire who's about to get away with the ultimate white-collar crime in this heist comedy starring Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy. Financial giant Arthur Shaw (Alan Alda) has just been placed under house arrest in his luxury New York City penthouse for cleaning out his investors to the tune of two billion dollars. Meanwhile, on the complete opposite end of the financial spectrum, Josh Kovacs (Ben Stiller) earns a modest living as the manager of The Tower -- the luxurious building where Shaw resides. Upon learning that the building staffers who entrusted Shaw with their retirement funds are about to lose their life savings, and that the thief will likely get off scot-free, Josh convinces a small group of Tower employees and a downtrodden former resident that Shaw has stashed a million-dollar safety net somewhere in his opulent penthouse, and that it's theirs for the taking if they can just slip past security. With dim-witted concierge Charlie (Casey Affleck), under-educated electrical engineer Enrique (Michael Peña), safecracking maid Odessa (Gabourey Sidibe) and downtrodden former resident Mr. Fitzhugh (Matthew Broderick) to back him, Josh recruits crafty swindler Slide (Eddie Murphy) to help get their money back. Although the security in Arthur's condo is unusually tight, between Josh's knowledge of the building and Slide's sleight of hand, this ragtag gang of thieves just might have what it takes to get the job done. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Brother's Shadow
An ex-con trying to put his life back on track turns to his family, but they aren't so sure they want him back in the fold in this independent drama from writer and director Todd S. Yellin. Jake Groden (Scott Cohen) is the black sheep in his family, an alcoholic and habitual felon who has spent 14 years in jail. Jake has always suffered in comparisons with his hardworking twin brother, and when his brother dies unexpectedly not long after Jake is released from jail, he braces himself for an uncomfortable reunion with his family. Jake's father, Leo (Judd Hirsch), makes no secret that he doesn't trust his son, and he recedes into his strong Jewish faith rather than reconnect with his errant son. Jake's sister-in-law, Emily (Susan Floyd), is still coming to terms with the death of her husband and having to raise their son on her own, and she's torn between a resentment of Jake and her attraction to a man who closely resembles the man she still loves. And Adam (Elliot Korte), Emily's son, is curious about the man who vanished from his family a decade and a half before. About the only thing his family will say in Jake's favor is that he's very good with woodworking, and in an effort to mend fences with his father and keep himself on the straight and narrow, Jake focuses his attention to saving the family business, a cabinetry shop that's seen better days. Brother's Shadow received its world premiere at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Regular Joe [TV Series]
Co-created by series star Daniel Stern, the ABC sitcom Regular Joe cast Stern as Joe Binder, the recently widowed owner of a hardware store. Joe lived with his well-meaning but overbearing father, Baxter (Judd Hirsch), his high-schooler son, Grant (John Francis Daley), and his college-coed daughter, Joanie (Kelly Karbacz) -- who also happened to be a single mother, with a cute baby daughter named Zoe. When not at home, Joe worked overtime at his store, assisted by Grant and high-strung clerk Sitvar (Brian George). Evidently, this property underwent a great many alterations before it was unveiled to the public, notably the changing of Stern's character name from Joe Herman to Joe Binder. Regular Joe premiered March 28, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The true story of prominent mathematician John Forbes Nash Jr. is the subject of this biographical drama from director Ron Howard. Russell Crowe stars as the brilliant but arrogant and conceited professor Nash. The prof seems guaranteed a rosy future in the early '50s after he marries beautiful student Alicia (Jennifer Connelly) and makes a remarkable advancement in the foundations of "game theory," which carries him to the brink of international acclaim. Soon after, John is visited by Agent William Parcher (Ed Harris), from the CIA, who wants to recruit him for code-breaking activities. But evidence suggests that Nash's perceptions of reality are cloudy at best; he is struggling to maintain his tenuous hold on sanity, and Alicia suspects a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia. Battling decades of illness with the loyal Alicia by his side, Nash is ultimately able to gain some control over his mental state, and eventually goes on to triumphantly win the Nobel Prize. Based loosely on the book of the same name by Sylvia Nasar, A Beautiful Mind (2001) co-stars Paul Bettany, Adam Goldberg, Anthony Rapp, Christopher Plummer, and Judd Hirsch. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Out of the Cold
In this period drama laced with music and romance, Keith Carradine plays Dan "Magic Legs" Scott, a tap dancer who has enjoyed great success on the vaudeville circuit and the Broadway stage. However, Scott's tremendous ego, coupled with his compulsive skirt-chasing and bottomless thirst for alcohol, cripple his career, and by the late 1930s, he's convinced that his career as a hoofer is over. However, Scott's mother was originally from Estonia, and his manager Axelrod (Judd Hirsch) discovers that Scott is considered a hero in his mother's homeland. Axelrod arranges a tour of Estonia, where Scott is a tremendous success. Scott also finds romance overseas when he meets Deborah (Mia Kirschner), the daughter of a prosperous Jewish businessman; Deborah asks for private dancing lessons, and Scott, more than happy to oblige, soon begins instructing her in the ways of love, much to the chagrin of Deborah's fiancé, Max (Bronson Pinchot). But Scott is ignorant of Hitler's rise to power in Europe, and his new career in Estonia comes to a halt when he offends a Nazi official. The country is soon occupied by Russian forces, and Deborah, now carrying Scott's child, escapes to the United States. However, when Scott's passport is destroyed, he's unable to prove his identity or American citizenship; he's sent to a labor camp in Siberia, and while he's able to escape to Moscow, by the late 1950s he's still looking for a way to get back to America. This film debut of noted Russian stage director Sasha Buravsky also features Brian Dennehy, Kim Hunter, and Mercedes Ruehl. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Comedian Andy Kaufman gave performances that were bizarre and difficult to categorize, in which he might do or say almost anything: show cartoons, impersonate Elvis Presley, play conga drums while singing children's songs, read aloud from The Great Gatsby, or take the audience out for milk and cookies. Written by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski and directed by Milos Forman (the team behind The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996)), this biopic takes an in-depth look at Kaufman's life and art, with Jim Carrey as Kaufman, who could (and would) be any number of different people onstage: the quiet and childlike man, the little foreign guy, the overbearing showbiz "professional," the violently obnoxious wrestler, or the world's worst lounge singer. As Kaufman rose from comedy clubs to guest appearances on Saturday Night Live and a spot on the TV sitcom Taxi, his performances became more complex and dangerous -- so much so that when word got out in 1984 that he was suffering from lung cancer, many fans and associates thought it was just another bizarre stunt; the disease took his life later that year. Man on the Moon features Danny De Vito as Kaufman's manager George Shapiro, Courtney Love as his girlfriend Lynne Margulies, Paul Giamatti as his friend Bob Zmuda, and David Letterman, Judd Hirsch, Marilu Henner, Carol Kane, and Christopher Lloyd as themselves. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Color of Justice
In this thought-provoking courtroom drama, the husband of a woman who was killed during a carjacking learns that justice can be hard to find when media hype and political agendas are added to the mix. The youths are captured and a trial date set. The quartet of carjackers are represented by Public Defender Sam Lind (Judd Hirsch). The Manhattan District Attorney Jim Sullivan (F. Murray Abraham) promises to prosecute them, but he must break this promise when community-activist Reverend Ed Walton shows up to turn the case into a racial issue, something which only increases community tension. The media gets involved and matters get worse. Fed-up with the rigamarole, the husband risks his life and freedom to get his own kind of justice. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

A group of intrepid humans attempts to save the Earth from vicious extraterrestrials in this extremely popular science-fiction adventure. Borrowing liberally from War of the Worlds, Aliens, and every sci-fi invasion film inbetween, director Roland Emmerich and producer and co-writer Dean Devlin present a visually slick, fast-paced adventure filled with expensive special effects and large-scale action sequences. The story begins with the approach of a series of massive spaceships, which many on Earth greet with open arms, looking forward to the first contact with alien life. Unfortunately, these extraterrestrials have not come in peace, and they unleash powerful weapons that destroy most of the world's major cities. Thrown into chaos, the survivors struggle to band together and put up a last-ditch resistance in order to save the human race. As this is a Hollywood film, this effort is led by a group of scrappy Americans, including a computer genius who had foreseen the alien's evil intent (Jeff Goldblum), a hot-shot jet pilot (Will Smith), and the President of the United States (Bill Pullman). While some critics objected to the film's lack of originality and lapses in logic, the combination of grand visual spectacle and crowd-pleasing storytelling proved irresistible to audiences, resulting in an international smash hit. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

Betrayal of Trust
A chilling exploration of the violation of doctor/patient trust, this made-for-TV drama is based on actual events. Singer Barbara Noel (Judith Light) is a mess. Tired of her constant depression and the effect it has had upon her husband and family, she goes to see the renowned psychiatrist Dr. Jules Masserman (Judd Hirsch). Using a combination of drugs, hypno-therapy and traditional techniques, he swears he will be able to help her. Time passes, and Barbara seems to be getting worse. In addition, she has begun drinking heavily. Strange bruises periodically appear on her body. She seems inordinately attached to Masserman, and her marriage suffers. When her life completely falls apart, Barbara wakes up and realizes that her trusted doctor has been violating her during the sessions in which she was drugged into unconsciousness. She tries all the traditional venues, but finds that her screwed up self is no match for a highly respected member of the medical community. Her luck changes dramatically, however, when she finds out that other women have also suffered from Masserman's treatment. Unfortunately, it will take some doing to convince any of them to testify against him. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

She Said No
The acting of its stars saves She Said No from the "lurid dreck" category. Judd Hirsch is a successful but utterly amoral attorney who rapes Veronica Hamel. She sues, but he uses his legal expertise to walk free. Then Hirsch turns around and sues Hamel for slander (or for libel, depending on whether you believe the ads or the synopsis)--to the tune of ten million dollars! The lizardlike lawyer comes acropper when he forgets the unwritten rule of jurisprudence and acts as his own attorney. Lee Grant plays the DA on the case, who was denied the opportunity to retry Hirsch and is smarting for a chance to show the creep up. She Said No is better written than it deserves to be by Michael O'Hara. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In this family drama from director Sidney Lumet, Judd Hirsch and Christine Lahti play Arthur and Annie Pope, a pair of '60s radicals who have eluded the FBI for 16 years after bombing a napalm laboratory as a Vietnam War protest. This lifestyle involves continually moving their base of operations and establishing new identities, which is especially hard on their children, 18-year-old Danny (River Phoenix) and 10-year-old Harry (Jonas Abry), who can never amass a group of friends or an academic record. This last problem comes to the fore when they arrive in a New Jersey town where the high school music teacher (Ed Crowley) takes an interest in Danny's piano playing, encouraging him to apply for early admission to Juilliard. Danny yearns to follow this dream, but knows that separating from his parents would be a permanent break -- the aging hippies rarely even see their own parents, and can never inform anyone where they've moved. Arthur can't stand the idea of breaking up the family unit, which has provided the support that's allowed him to tolerate life on the move, but Annie sees her own sacrificed dreams in her son's prodigious musical talents, and begins pressuring Arthur to grant the boy his independence. Complicating factors, Danny has fallen in love with the daughter of his music teacher (Martha Plimpton), but can't allow himself to get too close to her, because he may have to leave again at any moment. ~ Derek Armstrong, Rovi

Isaac Bashevis Singer: Isaac in America
In 1978, Isaac B. Singer was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. He was a gifted writer who had over 40 volumes of short stories, novels, plays and other writings published. Singer once said he viewed himself as a "Yiddish writer." He had left Europe to escape Hitler and arrived in America with almost nothing. Singer wrote for one Yiddish newspaper for more than 40 years, publishing one or two stories or chapters each week in it. His writings include "Enemies, A Love Story" and "Shadows on the Hudson." The latter book involves people anxiously searching for meaning in this world or the next. ~ Elizabeth Smith, Rovi

First Steps
First Steps was inspired by a widely-seen, enthusiastically received 1982 piece on 60 Minutes. Amy Steel plays Nan Davis, a young woman totally paralyzed in an auto accident. Judd Hirsch costars as Dr. Jerold Petrovsky, a bioengineer who attaches computerized electrodes to Nan to enable her to reclaim her muscle power. After many torturous months, this state-of-art physical therapy works magnificently, and Nan is able to take ten steps on her own at her college graduation. While the technique was still rather controversial at the time First Steps was telecast, there was no denying that it had worked in the case of Nan Davis, who eventually became the subject of two 60 Minutes follow-ups and reams of upbeat magazine articles. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

My Dinair Airbrush Makeup
Whew! Friday the 13th of April is not so bad anyway. After 48 years of waiting, and going back and forth to the post office the past few days, I finally got the package that my man sent to me dated March 20. My Dinair makeup and all the stuff I requested (and some bit of surprises) were inside. It totally made me happy :)
Let's now focus on the Dinair baby I have been dying to have. If you have read my previous post, I mentioned I should have been saving up for this one. In the end, I knew that I already won in one of such great giveaways that I just joined in for fun (and never was I expecting!). So yeah, finally it's mine and it's in my bedazzled hands.
The Dinair representative had me choose the color of the compressor I want. Well, I'm always into the blue color so Dinair's Blue Ribbon fits my taste so well.
No reviews yet so far. Let me just take you to a photo-heavy blog post on how the kit looks like. I'm gonna do a review on this one as promised… No date yet as to when but I'm gonna be using this for weeks and see how it goes. One thing I wished though is that I hope I also got the alabaster and the vanilla foundation shades. Lightest foundation from the Medium pack is, I think, a bit too dark for my skintone. But hey, I need some room for experimentation. Mixing colors should be the thing. So I think I may not be right of what I really think…as of the moment.
Big thanks once again to Dinair Airbrush Makeup and The Broke Ass Bride. Without them I wouldn't have this baby. :)
If you got any questions, feel free to send me an e-mail. I already have it on the side bar of my blog. Happy airbrushing, everyone! :)

Alternative Business Coaching Philosophies – individual and team performance improvement
by Simon Jones (BC11)
Contrast these two coaching philosophies – one where the fact that assume you can only change 20% of a person's behaviour means that if you work out where they are now you can assess whether a 20% improvement gets you to the end point you want and whether that person is worth investing in; and the second approach which is anchored more in the power of the individual to have an instrumental role in improving their own performance and then crafting a strategy around getting that 20% improvement and what opportunities that creates. Just for the avoidance of doubt it is the latter that I ascribe to and focus my coaching interventions on.
This should also be put in the context of measuring the overall effectiveness of a team versus the maximizing the performance of each team member. While there is clearly a threshold below which performance does become an issue and a question of how long you wait for the desired improvement, this is balanced by the need to allow for cyclical performance elements of team performance. This refers to the situation where individuals can be up or down against plans at different times, but what matters is whether the team is moving forward and each individual contributes in the best way they can and over the long run proves valuable to the rest of the team. Patience with this can depend on how willing individuals are to recognize where they are in that cycle, their awareness of whether things could change and openness to coaching so they are not seen as a drag on the rest of the team.
Business Coaching then provides an essential element to help the individual work effectively in their team – pulling on their own resources and intuition to provide lasting improvements to to the way they approach their work. This is different to a mentoring type approach where mentor can be seen to be potentially providing answers that should have been provided by the individuals themselves, creating dependence on their input, confusing line management processes, triggering defensive reactions of some members of the team and not generating sustainable performance improvement or buy-in and engagement to any change programme that the mentoring was supposed to be part of. Some mentors can also have their own agendas that are difficult to manage.
There really does have to be clarity and trust between all parties if coaches are brought into a corporate environment – there should be no ambiguity about whether it is there truly to help an individual address issues that will improve their effectiveness and help them meet their own career goals or more assessment and peer comparison related as an input into other organisational decisions. No point trying to offer a solution to a problem to someone who doesn't recognise that the problem exists.
Psychometrics and their value in Business Coaching
Psychological personality has vast influence over the team dynamics as well as the way we perform as individuals. There are various studies into the relationships between personality and professional success, lifestyle or use of social media. This relationships and linkages can be better understood through the use of psychometrics, i.e., an interpretation of quantitative tests which measure psychological variables such as intelligence, aptitude and personality traits.
To become a better leader, manager, or a business person, individuals need to develop their self-awareness in order to understand their true potential and the impact they have on those around them. Psychometrics is used by Business Coaches to help individuals understand their personality, ability, and to develop their talent, encourage career progression or motivate themselves and their teams.
Bruce Peltier in his book "The Psychology of Executive Coaching: Theory and Application" states that:
"Assessment is an essential element of executive coaching"
One of the most popular assessment tools used by the Business Coaches is "disclosure-feedback model of awareness", also called Johari window (figure below). It is used to provide comprehensive feedback to the executive and coach and the goal of the model is to move knowledge from cells 2, 3 and 4 toward cell 1 and to make this cell larger.
The Johari Window
Psychometrics can add great value to Business Coaching. The Coach can understand the client better, choose a coaching approach that builds faster and more effective rapport with the client, and can identify potential areas that require more attention at early stage. This way rapid progress can be made more efficiently and chances for any mistakes and omissions are minimized. It also enables them to get a better understanding about how people communicate, manage, lead or follow.
During conducting of the assessment the clients can receive a feedback that could be negative and uncomfortable. It is therefore essential to have clear discussion about confidentiality and the kinds of reports the Business Coach will use.
In order to maximize effectiveness, Coaches must have a good understanding of research basis for psychometric tools, which as well as providing great benefits, could potentially lead to some unfortunate unforeseen circumstances, e.g., used as capability assessment when the tool used is purely about motivation or preferences; used to identify weaknesses as opposed to ways of improving performance. Both in my business career and as a coach I have built an awareness of a several psychometric tools and their use and potential miss-use. There are cases in the US where organisations have been sued for using poor or discriminatory tests in assessment situations.
There are a very high number of psychometric tests in circulation, and the Business Coach must choose the approach that is soundly-based on strong theoretical and scientific foundation that is appropriate for the goal the client is presenting.
The key determinants of reputable tests are:
- Objectivity – Results not influenced by administrator's personal preferences or biases. 360 instruments almost always have an inherent later bias
- Standardised – Each test uses a standard procedure and test results compared with known benchmarks
- Reliable – Test comes up with the same results time after time, i.e., stable over time and not subject to transient mood or situation
- Valid – Actually measures what it claims to measure
- Discriminating (not discriminatory) – Showing clear differences between individuals on the behaviour being tested
Good examples include Management Development tool called Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Occupational Personality Questionnaire, series of tools run by Cambridge Psychometrics, Schein's Career Anchors (applied to Career Coaching situations) and strengths inventories such as Inspired Leadership and Strength Scope, Belbin, Firo-B and Motivational Maps (a tool that builds on psychometrics to improve team dynamics as well as individual performance and effectiveness).
The tool I have leveraged most in my coaching career so far is MBTI. The main strengths of MBTI in coaching are lying within its simplicity. It is fairly easy for the client to understand the structure and process of the testing. MBTI describes what happens to the individual under pressure and offers specific solutions, which are based on research and tailored to each individual, so the stressful situations can be managed as effectively as possible. This technique also provides tools and guidance for best way to match Coach and Client, which is essential when considering hiring a Business Coach.
I look forward to learning most about how to get the most out of the use of psychometric tools and especially their application in team building and development situations.

Apple Accessories Get an Upgrade from Mulberry
Filed under: Handbags
The collection features nine pieces including MacBook and MacBook Pro bags and sleeves as well as cross-bags for the iPhone or iPod touch. They have kept the exteriors of some of the most iconic Mulberry designs, including the Bayswater for women and the Brynmore for men, and adapted the interiors with features such as padding, pockets and headphone access. Some of the smaller items in the collection feature a bold smugged leopard print while the larger bags sport Mulberry's classic natural leathers.
Prices range from $250 - $1195 and the bags are currently in stores and available online after December 1st. It is not startling to see good creative ideas for accessories from Emma Hill who has previously worked her magic with Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs and The Gap. Those of you who are Mac aficionados still traipsing around with a ratty backpack or generic black shoulder bag should definitely look twice at this collection. Quite possibly it is time for an upgrade that has nothing to do with the software on your computer.

More on the hip-hop story, with a little help
Last week, I wrote an article for this paper titled "Livin' in the 802," [1] which highlighted some of the up-and-coming hip-hop artists in and around Vermont. As the genre and attendant culture has grown in popularity and relevance nationwide, so, too, has the lakeside hamlet of Burlington seen an increase of hip-hop artists and fans. It was my feeling the genre had been vastly under-reported in Seven Days. Being in a unique position to do something about it, I decided to explore the current scene.
Despite its front-page over-selling as "VT's hip-hop history," the article was intended to simply serve as a primer for those who, like myself, were woefully unfamiliar with the local scene. While some degree of historical perspective was offered, in no way was the piece meant to serve as the definitive record. To do that, I'd need a series of articles, if not an entire issue.
During my brief tenure as music editor, I have on numerous occasions come clean about my relative ignorance not only about local hip-hop but the entire genre. By committing to stories such as this one, I hope my education will be swift and, ultimately, comprehensive.
So it's always a pleasure when folks who have knowledge to share write in with previously untapped perspectives. Such was the case last week when a letter from Infinite Culcleasure — better known to local club-goers as DJ Infinite — slid across my desk. Here it is:
Let us please set the record straight: A conversation about "VT's hip-hop history," especially in Burlington, is grossly incomplete without acknowledgment of WRUV and Melo Grant. If you grew up in Vermont and loved hip-hop, you probably grew up listening to Grant's voice while she spun music you hadn't heard before anywhere else. Melo has been playing hip-hop in Burlington for almost 20 years.
I touched down in B-town in 1991, before Red Square existed. Club Metronome was Border, Second Floor was Club Toast and Fattie Bumbalattie was spelling his name out one syllable at a time on the mic beside a very impressive acid-jazz group.
From 1991 until Higher Ground opened in Winooski, one could only find local hip-hop publicly in two places: WRUV by way of the incomparable Melo Grant, and a young Latino stand-out by the name of DJ Luis Calderon, or in the basement/attic/ apartment of some misplaced urban impresario. Before the noise ordinance became unreasonable, we didn't have to rely on downtown venues to have a good time. We've still got the flyers to prove it.
Just to give an example of what the social climate was at the time, the President's office at UVM was taken over by Black, Asian and Hispanic students in order to force a more diverse curriculum and faculty on campus. A very popular radio station operating in the area would occasionally announce their slogan, "100% hip-hop and rap-free radio" just to clarify where they stood in terms of hip-hop music — although they did play Salt-N-Pepa and Naughty By Nature.
I won't get too deep into the politics of how hip-hop culture has been received by Vermont in the past decade. But I do strongly suggest that Vermont hip-hop historians dig a little deeper, while being cautious of romanticizing a so-called hip-hop renaissance in Vermont.
Some local hip-hop honorable mentions and shout-outs include: DJ A-Dog, Anton, Benny L, Big Country, Big J, Dubee, ELV, Joey K, Rhino, and Rugger (Tim Diaz), Akbar a.k.a. First God, Trey, Trauma Unit, Shabar, Flex Tone Massive, 69 Main Street, 25 Orchard Terrace, L Burners, Higher Ground (in Winooski), Club Toast, Vinyl Destination and Pure Pop.
Damn straight.
As I said in the original article, hip-hop has been alive and well in Vermont almost as long as the genre has been in existence. However, in recent years, local fans have been treated to an explosion of artists and promoters doing things that have gone largely unrecognized by Vermont media.
It was my hope that last week's feature would serve as an introduction to folks who are interested in hip-hop but know little about the scene in their own town. The piece was not the last that will be written about Vermont hip-hop in these pages, and the artists featured in it are not the only ones who deserve attention.
I'd like to thank Mr. Culcleasure for taking the time to set me straight. Perhaps at some point down the line, we'll give Vermont hip-hop the "Ken Burns treatment."
I'd also like to thank the local hip-hop artists who reached out and introduced themselves to me since the article ran — I want to know who you are. In the words of GI Joe, knowing is half the battle. Or, as GTD might say, kill the disease, spread the cure.
That said, I'm not a mind reader. If you're upset that you've never seen your name in print, do something about it. "Livin' in the 802" was written because people like Nastee and Burnt MD made conscious efforts to bring me up to speed on what they do. That's how it works.
So come on, Burlington. Holla back.

Brian Dickie prepares to retire
We have an exit interview with the Chicago Opera Theater general director.
Since his appointment as Chicago Opera Theater's general director in 1999, Brian Dickie has racked up a number of achievements. He's solidified COT's position as the hip younger sibling to the mighty Lyric Opera, offering Chicagoans innovative productions and casts loaded with up-and-coming virtuosos.
After 13 years at the helm of COT, the time has come for the Englishman to return to London, where he's looking forward to spending time with his nine grandchildren and eight-year-old daughter, Bea.
The 71-year-old's swan-song season wraps up with Shostakovich's Moscow, Cheryomushki; Handel's Teseo; and Mozart's The Magic Flute. Freshly returned from a trip to England, Dickie gave us the lowdown on leaving the city he loves.
How does it feel now that yourlast few months in Chicago are upon you?
I feel pretty good. Somewhat more relaxed than usual perhaps, since I do not have to worry about the future. My whole family is in England.
What did you miss most about England?
I only missed my family, really. England is terribly expensive and monstrously crowded. Chicago life is fantastic, but I always knew I would go home eventually, so I've treated my time at COT as a great adventure.
Favorite spot for fish-and-chips?
Aldeburgh, Suffolk. The home of Benjamin Britten—and the best fish-and-chips.
What do you consider your biggest achievements with COT?
I think that we've done well to turn COT from being a valuable ancillary opera provider here in Chicago, performing in a neighborhood theater with largely Chicago-based talent, into a company that is recognized nationally and internationally as a first-rate producer of important work.
Imagine you return to Chicago in five years' time. What dreams do you hope will have been realized inyour absence?
I hope that in five years' time COT will be on a more stable financial footing than in the years that I've been here. Times are tough and will continue to be. The challenge for Andreas [Mitisek, the new COT general director] and the board will be to maintain top-notch artistic quality and at the same time become financially secure. I believe that I was successful in the former, but we have been disappointed in the latter.
I saw on your blog that you visited the Soviet Cheryomushki housing developments in Russia last year to prepare for this season's production of Shostakovich's Moscow, Cheryomushki.
I dropped into Cheryomushki on the way to the airport, when I was leaving Moscow for Warsaw in early June. I had mentioned that we were doing this operetta in Chicago, and a colleague there told me that Cheroymushki is alive and well so I thought I would take a look. My cab driver took me there and I wandered around for ten minutes in Moscow's "affordable housing" development of the 1950s. Actually, it was quite pretty, since there were trees and shrubs and light and shade. Perhaps there's a lesson for us there?
Chicago Opera Theater presents Moscow, Cheryomushki at Harris Theater Friday 20, Sunday 22, Wednesday 25; Teseo Saturday 21, April 27, 29 and May 2. Dickie's final production, The Magic Flute, runsin September.

Pete Hanson's Daily Blog: Life According To Palmolive
At our office, we have about 25 full-time employees. And no professional cleaning service. We (in theory) just try to take care of it ourselves. We do a pretty good job of looking after our own immediate areas; dusting, vacuuming, taking out the trash. It actually works pretty well. Thank God the restrooms are serviced by the building management.
And then there's the kitchen. The dreaded common area that falls under no one person's jurisdiction. It just also happens to get the most traffic and potential messes. The refrigerator(enter at your own risk), the microwave (exploded spaghetti sauce from 1988), the coffee pot, the sink, the dishes, the floor…you get the idea. So, we rotate through a list of all employees, and everyone gets a week of kitchen duty.
While kitchen duty seemed to be a simple, practical solution to a cleaning problem, it has actually turned out to be a little more than that; nothing less than a glimpse into the soul of each co-worker. Really. Want to get an idea of how someone is wired? Keep an eye on the kitchen during their week of duty.
There are three kinds of kitchen cleaners in our office. There's the group that does a good job making sure the kitchen is taken care of. They wipe everything down, keep dishes clean, and generally do a good job of picking up. Things look cared for during their week of service. The second group is the super-cleaners. They vacuum, clean the fridge, wipe down the microwave, empty the trash. They own the kitchen during their week on the list. They might even be crazy enough to help pick up during someone else's week. The third group are the "What my week?," kitchen patrollers. Not only are they probably unaware it's their turn, but you likely wouldn't be able to tell the difference even if they did know.
Here's the rub; it's not just about cleaning the kitchen. It seems that how someone maintains the kitchen during their week on the clock says a lot about how they tick. Kitchen week isn't some isolated event in our lives, but rather a window to our souls. Is any one kitchen week a big deal? Nope. Do you secretly learn a lot about someone from their kitchen week? Yep.
What counter top/toaster/fridge/sink/coffeemaker are you watching over? What does the job you do say about you? I'm just sayin'.
