The St. Louis County Library Foundation's 'Buzz' Westfall Favorite Author Series is pleased to present journalist and presidential historian Nancy Gibbs for a discussion and signing of her new book "The Presidents Club: Inside the World's Most Exclusive Fraternity." The event will take place at Library Headquarters (1640 S. Lindbergh Blvd.) on Thursday, April 26, at 7:00 p.m. The program is free and open to the public. Books will be available for purchase at the event from Pudd'nHead Books.
TIME magazine executive editor Nancy Gibbs presents the first history of the private relationships among modern American presidents--their backroom deals, rescue missions, secret alliances, and enduring rivalries.
The Presidents Club, established at Dwight Eisenhower's inauguration by Harry Truman, is a complicated place: its members are bound forever by the experience of the Oval Office and yet are eternal rivals for history's favor. Among their secrets: How Kennedy tried to blame Eisenhower for the Bay of Pigs. How Eisenhower helped Reagan win his first race in 1966. How Nixon conspired with Johnson to get elected and then betrayed him. The letter from Nixon that Clinton rereads every year. The unspoken pact between a father and son named Bush. And the roots of the rivalry between Clinton and Obama.
The book will change the way we think about the office of the president and the men who have shaped our politics over the last half century. Tom Brokaw says of the book, "Nancy Gibbs [has] taken us inside one of the most powerful and unusual families in American life--the brotherhood of former presidents of the United States. Political junkies, historians, and main street citizens will find the tales of friendship, envy, conspiracy, competition and common cause irresistible."
Nancy Gibbs is Executive Editor of TIME magazine and co-author with Michael Duffy of the bestseller "The Preacher and the Presidents; Billy Graham in the White House." Named by the Chicago Tribune as one of the ten best magazine writers in the country, she is the author of more than 150 TIME cover stories.
The program with Nancy Gibbs is a St. Louis County Library 'Buzz' Westfall Favorite Author Series presentation. The Westfall series features authors of politics, current issues, history, and sports. The series is co-sponsored by Jack Dubinsky and Sons; McMahon Berger; Sachs Properties; Brown Smith Wallace LLC; Royal Banks of Missouri; St. Louis Business Journal; Midwest Library Service; The Booksource; Ivey-Selkirk Auctioneers; S.M. Wilson & Co.; Arthur J. Gallagher and Co.; and Stifel, Nicolaus.
Program sites are accessible. Upon two weeks notice, accommodations will be made for persons with disabilities. Contact St. Louis County Library by phone 314-994-3300 or visit www.slcl.org.

Wealthy business executives eye political races
CHICAGO — He has never been elected to anything, not even "student council in high school," as he boasts. He has little patience for schmoozing. In dealing with people, he admits to being "pretty blunt" - more suited to running a large private equity firm, which Bruce Rauner did successfully for 30 years, than seeking votes for governor, which he intends to do in Illinois next year.

One should salute the kind of effort and maturity shown by VVS and Harbhajan. Indeed Bhajji has got such fighting spirit from his former captain Dada (Saurav Ganguly). There remains such kind of match fixing but not in the Test matches in larger scale. And I don't believe that this is done here at Motera. We must make cheers for both of them.Answered by ashis, 08 Nov '10 04:30 pm

- Promote οthers
Make sure you retweet your most passionate followers. Thank them and link to their social properties #FF (Follow Friday) and #Recommend others and their work.
- Be the 1st to break the news
Your followers will come to rely on you as an expert and will foster the conversation around your tweets.
- Infuse personality into your profile
Use a real picture of yourself and highlight your passion in your bio.
- Ask for a retweet

Following a special investigation into the expenses of deposed Alberta Premier Alison Redford, the province's auditor general was as direct as he was damning: Redford and her office "used public resources inappropriately."
The auditor cited a litany of instances: Taxpayerpaid partisan and personal travel; government aircraft flying Redford 50 times with her teenage daughter - four times with a teen friend and twice the daughter flew without her mother.
Redford and staff also always flew commercial business class in Canada when economy travel is the general rule; there were expensive hotel stays and a special apartment suite being planned for a downtown Edmonton government building as personal living space for Redford.
The audit confirms the stunning sense of entitlement of a politician so oddly dissonant, so tone deaf, so completely out of touch with modern political expectations.
No better an example was the cynical practice of Redford's office using phantom passengers on government plane manifests to prevent other cabinet ministers from sharing flights so that the imperious Redford and her staff didn't have to be bothered by other people on the private aircraft.
That Redford, in 2012, ran so afoul of rules and common sense is perplexing. It's axiomatic to anyone in public life that government money is citizens' money and there is a duty to account for it and ensure it is reasonably and appropriately spent.
Government, by its nature, must be different than business or personal expenses. Where a business decides to put up its people in posh surroundings with expensive meals, travel expenses and five-star hotels, this is the money of shareholders - not citizens paying taxes.
But before consigning senior government employees and politicians to Motel 6 rooms and fast food, it is reasonable when doing business in the world's financial and political capitals to at least not look out of place.
There is also a smell test to any analysis of government expenses, which ultimately comes down to judgment, discretion and an appreciation for appearances. People on government expenses ought not to look or try looking like they're travelling with a Fortune 100 company.
All of this falls apart, though, when it encounters the fully engaged entitlement mentality. Like any affliction of ego and hubris, rampant entitlement doesn't happen overnight; it spreads, slowly and inexorably, like a cancer that overtakes the most basic common sense.
Sometimes entitlement comes from the view that while everyone else is getting ahead, the poor politician isn't. If that matters, the answer is to get out of politics.
No one said that politics is easy or lucrative. It is neither.
For many of its practitioners, politics is a life of 60-hour weeks of hard work, forbearance, travel and missing family. Sometimes the seed of entitlement is planted with "no one understands how hard this is; I'm at least going to get a break for myself."
Again, wrong answer. If politics doesn't work, leave it and get another job.
No one should forget the 2005 spectacle of David Dingwall, head of the Royal Canadian Mint appointed after a long career as a Liberal cabinet minister, jousting with MPs over his expenses. It ended poorly when he flippantly said "I'm entitled to my entitlements."
Despite losing the premiership and being publicly humiliated, Redford's problems may just be starting as her successor, Alberta Premier Dave Hancock, has asked the RCMP to investigate whether criminal fraud has occurred.
This is an encouraging sign that public tolerance and perception of expense scandals may be changing.
Gone are the days of inevitability, when expense irregularities happened, we all got angry and then it blew over.
Now, as evidenced by criminal charges in the Senate scandal against Tories Mike Duffy and Patrick Brazeau and Liberal Mac Harb, actions have consequences.
In today's Saskatchewan, the Redford case is instructive. For years, the provincial government has owned three aircraft - Alberta has four - for use by the lieutenant-governor, the premier and members of cabinet.
We've been fortunate to have had a decades-long tradition of premiers who have been prudent with private aircraft travel, realizing its importance and necessity but not falling into Redfordesque excess.
In recent years, Premier Brad Wall has taken government private plane usage in the other direction, with executive air travel down more than 60 per cent from the prior NDP government.
On the issue of public expenses, politicians succeed when they have a balanced understanding and perception of what the people expect and will tolerate. Alison Redford will remain as a sad and enduring example of what not to do.

Our son has been attending All Saint's Day School since nursery and is now in fifth grade. Our son loves his school! He is happy and feels safe and comfortable in his environment. There are so many things we like about the school but to name a few we like that they have a challenging curriculum and we appreciate its core values and beliefs. As well, the school has an excellent system and policy regarding parent and teacher communication is that is effective and an emergency system that works well for reaching parents at a moment s notice. The school offers music, arts, languages, and sports too. The school is major part of our lives and we could not be happier with our decision to remain at All Saint s. Thank you All Saint s! -All Saint's parent
My daughter just got back from an overnight trip with her 7th grade class to Frost Valley. This was her second year going on the trip (6th graders go as well) and, if possible she had an even more enriching experience this year! The class starts the year off right, working out challenges together and coming together as a community. These overnight trips are one of the highlights of the year for my daughter and always eagerly anticipated!
Our child has attended All Saints for about three years. The school has a stimulating, happy environment, and the teachers and staff are dedicated and involved. Also the classrooms and other rooms are clean, beautiful and filled with all types of age level appropriate material, including examples of the students' work. The music and art programs are outstanding. Our child enjoys going to school in the morning. I agree with the other postings above, and highly recommend All Saints.
Our daughter had her first few day of Nursery school this week and we could not be happier. She is a very talkative 3-year-old, but this evening it was clear she is in a very nurturing school environment. She was eager to share everything about her day with us over the dinner table: the new music, the sand box with shells, who she sat by for painting, how they line up for the playground, and more. We knew it was a good sign when she asked at pickup if "next time" she could "go for longer." To top it off, we just received an email from her teachers with an overview of the week and photos. This level of parent-teacher communication is unparalleled. We cannot wait to watch as our daughter learns and grows at All Saints over the years.
Our daughter had her first day of Kindergarten yesterday and it was amazing. The teachers worked to make her feel confident and she came home babbling about her day and all of the parts of her classroom. After two years in the Nursery and PreK half day program, we cannot wait to continue to watch our daughter flourish academically, socially, and spiritually.
My oldest child has been attending All Saints since Nursery and my other children now attend the school as well. So while my appreciation for the school has continually strengthened over the past 7 years, my eyes were reopened earlier this week when my daughter started middle school. The middle school journey is a new beginning and a banner year in education and I am overwhelmed by how confident and articulate these 5th graders were. I expected some awkwardness and trepidation on their part, but all of the students were excitedly chatting and checking out their new lockers with the poise of seasoned pros. The firm handshakes and eye contact as they met their teachers for each class were equally impressive. When I stopped to contemplate all of this, I realized that All Saints has been preparing these kids since Nursery for this moment. They have fostered confidence and independence and heralded each child's unique contributions to the class in their approach to everything from homework to public speaking to community involvement.
Our daughter is a second grade student and we have been with the school since Nursery. The teachers have all been amazing. They are all willing to provide detailed feedback and the school is open to ideas and suggestions from the parents. The focus on spirituality and community giving is strong, with many opportunities for the students to participate in volunteer events. Dance, music, theater and art teachers are all exemplary with multiple opportunities for students to learn and explore. Academics are a focus, with good enrichment opportunities for students who excel. The older students are visibly warm and caring toward the younger students and the school community is supportive and friendly.
The opportunities at All Saints are endless! We know that the advanced curriculum and focused ratios have helped to mold our Kindergartener into a thoughtful, creative, community member. The teachers are caring and committed and they partner with each child to foster their own unique talents and strengths. We have loved the school so much that when we thought about leaving the area we couldn't leave the school! We will send our daughter here too for Nursery in the Fall as she needs to experience these endless opportunities that our son has been given.
My son entered Ail Saints in the Nursery program, and is currently thriving as a Kindergartener. The school provides a nurturing, yet purposeful, educational environment, in which students develop a true love of learning. The educators truly care about each student as an individual, and there is open communication between teachers and parents. Core academic lessons and hands-on activities -- with an emphasis on critical-thinking skills -- make this school an absolute gem.
What an amazing school! With an equally amazing curriculum. The staff is well trained and the children consistently challenged. There are always new ideas and exciting activities being introduced to both students and parents. These children are excelling and it's a pleasure to watch! If I had to change one thing, it definitely would be there overnight trips without parent chaperones..In 4th grade the children begin to take these trips with staff and parents are not allowed to attend..by 8th grade they leave the country ..I'm sorry but this is too young and way too risky.. other than that this school deserves extra kudos for all the charity work they do..the fact that my kindergartener and 3rd grader know all about and are so excited (and involved) in various charities is beyond impressive..as for what we need..we could definitely use a larger play area.
This is our third year as an All Saints family and I feel extremely fortunate to have found a school that is so wonderful - academically, socially and spiritually. When we were suddenly relocated to NJ from Asia in 2011, I was quite concerned about the school situation in Hoboken. Although I was pleased when my son was accepted to All Saints, I didn't fully know what to expect. Fast forward two years and I now have 2 children attending and absolutely LOVING this school. Both my son and daughter start their mornings *running* into their classrooms, smiling and excited. On numerous occasions, they have told me "Mommy, I LOVE my school," which really is music to my ears. I am thrilled with the school's excellent balance of learning/academics with other important elements such as social responsibility, creativity, social skills and athletics/play time. I simply cannot say enough positive things about the teachers. Every teacher (and assistant) we've had has been smart, dedicated, compassionate, kind, helpful and fantastic with communication! I still get a bit teary and choked up when discussing my son's first teacher (Pre-K) because she was THAT good. All Saints is wonderful.
I have a 5th grader and kindergartener at All Saints. There is a unique sense of community at this school, with families, teachers and the administration working closely together. Every teacher we've had over the years has been exceptionally skilled, dedicated, motivated and caring. Their teachers have worked individually with my children to improve challenge areas, as well as nurture and encourage their talents in subjects where they already excel. The academic program at All Saints is rigorous, and most importantly, helps students connect what they are learning to the world around them. My child has also benefited tremendously from the excellent drama program, which includes a Fall musical and a Spring play. The music and art classes are also top notch. Against this rich academic backdrop, students are also given many opportunities to serve and help their community. I really could not ask for a better educational experience for my children.
My children have been attending All Saints since Nursery and have now been there for 6 years. I don't know where to start! My children absolutely love All Saints, and are eager to go to school every morning. The teaching staff are extremely professional, supportive, enthusiastic and nurturing, and their level of communication with parents is excellent. My children truly love learning, and the supportive environment fosters not only academic excellence but leadership skills, public speaking and students' social conscience. The support staff and adminstration are also top notch and extremely approachable. Any dissatisfaction in any regard is taken seriously and is addressed quickly and professionally - there is no 'bureaucratic red tape' to contend with. There are clear lines of communication from parents to the principal which are actively encouraged. We are very happy to be part of the All Saints Community where the environment is one of dynamic growth and energy, positivity and success!
My daughters have attended All Saints since Nursery School and we have never been anything but highly impressed with the enthusiasm, dedication, warmth and creativity of the staff. The students are challenged academically in ways that are personally engaging and the learning is deep and meaningful. The children have multiple opportunities to learn leadership and public speaking skills. As parents we always feel that we can raise any concerns about our daughters' academic, social or emotional development and that the staff will come together with us to find the "just right" solution for our child. We truly feel very fortunate to have our children at this school.
Our son joined All Saints last year and we were amazed with the strides he made both academically and socially. We had no hesitation in sending our daughter to the Nursery class this year. The teachers are dedicated excellent professionals and the positive and validating spirit of the school create an ideal learning environment. Our family loves All Saints and we are very happy to be a part of this wonderful community.
My son is in his second year at All Saints, and is absolutely thriving. We are incredibly impressed by the quality of education he is receiving, which has fostered in him a early love for school and learning that I believe will be the cornerstone of lasting academic success. His creativity and confidence seem to grow tangibly each day, and we think that the staff at All Saints have distinctly influenced both his social and cognitive development.
I have two children currently in Middle School who have attended since grammar school. I have loved every minute there but the real value has come through this past year with my 8th grade son. The support provided in the high school search process, which is increasingly stressful, has been superb. The teachers, the leadership and the entire school community really helped make this process as painless as possible. My children are better for their association to the school.
Our oldest child has attended all saints for 5 years and youngest has attended for 2 years both beginning in nursery school. From the quality of the teachers and staff to the attention every child receives, am not surprised others have consistently given all saints 5 stars. We don t have to make trade-offs between disciplines such as math, reading, science etc and music, art, drama, and dance as the children are taught at a high level in every class. Our principal has elevated the objectives and achievements of the school every year that our children have attended and the results are evident. Lastly, parent involvement is high but not overbearing which creates a great balance in the school community. The parent invovlement high high but not overbearing which creates a great balance in the school community.
My daughter has attended All Saints for the last 2 years. We couldn't be happier with the education, warm environment, amazing teachers and family involvement! My daughter tells me that she misses her teacher and classmates on the weekends and holidays and she can't wait to go to school on Monday. The teachers make the environment that encourages a love of learning.
My children attended All Saints School many years ago, and as I sent my youngest off to college this year I reflected on how well prepared my children were for this transition and how this was in no small part attributable to their experiences at All Saints. My children have gone to high schools and colleges that continue to challenge them academically while reinforcing those values they experienced in elementary school - a strong sense of self, the importance of community and the notion of "giving back." Within weeks of arriving at college, my daughter became a "study buddy" for a young student from an economically depressed neighborhood and my son has taken a leadership position in a campus organization that is currently organizing relief efforts for families displaced by hurricane Sandy. The value of their independent school education has become increasingly apparent to me as they enter adulthood and begin making important choices about the direction of their lives. I am grateful to All Saints for providing this important foundation and glad to know the tradition continues.

Not quite, Spike -- I just wrote an Internet Film School column about the Thanksgiving episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer for the AV Club. Sample: Thanksgiving is a holiday that allows filmmakers to get back to the medium's theatrical roots. No elaborate sets are required — just a table and some people who know each other so well they decided to come together once a year rather than interact regularly. It is a chance for film to scale back its visual ambitions and look like a play without stumbling into the stodgy stage direction of an old episode of Masterpiece Theatre. Only unlike those film adaptations of dramatic works, there is a natural quality to the limitations placed upon a film that happens on Thanksgiving. Everyone looks like they're in the same place not because the theater couldn't afford better sets, but because everyone is trapped in the same confined spaces by strained familial bonds. Because if ever there were a time and a place for families to fall apart, it's Thanksgiving. Families fall apart all the time — I consider "families falling apart" to be a genre, and Noah Baumbach the current king of it — but never as spectacularly as they do during Thanksgiving. Perhaps as alluded to above, it is because of the artificially pressurized atmosphere the holiday creates. People who don't particularly like each other are yet again forced to make extended displays of false joviality in order to please the one family member who actually cares about everyone. Sometimes that character is a doting mother, sometimes a dying father, or in the case of the "Pangs" episode of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, an empty-nested Chosen One whose surrogate family is on the brink of collapse...

I believe if you start reading here you'll be able to see exactly what I've been dealing with tonight…but that's not why I'm writing this. I'm writing this because some people — who can not be proven to be the people involved in that conversation — are threatening to tell my employers that I've been accused of sexual harassment and am therefore an enemy to "true feminists" and "feminism" everywhere. They're also claiming that I failed to act appropriately in another awful incident and this, I admit, is why I'm angry enough to write this post. All of which tells me everything I need to know about them who would doxx me — I say let 'em, as I know y'all remember things I've done that are far worse or more impolitic. Right? Continue reading

On the Japanese version of Ringu and why she's having so much fun up there. Sample: The most interesting visual element in this shot is the perspective implied by the camera placement. By partially obscuring the view of Reiko Asakawa, Nakata suggests that this might be a point-of-view shot, thereby planting in the minds of the audience the idea that perhaps she's being watched—and that the audience might be sharing the perspective of whoever (or whatever) is doing the watching. The fact that the camera is perfectly still here adds to the unease, because that lack of movement alone suggests the watcher may (or may not) be in plain sight, yet is undetected and wishes to remain so. In classic horror fashion, Nakata wants his audience to inhabit the mind and perspective of a stalker. And you know what? Being a stalker is dull... Continue reading

It is 4 a.m. I am alone downstairs, when all of a sudden, in the kitchen, I hear someone saying, "Hello? Is anybody there? Hello?" "Hello," I reply, and walk in. No one is there — except for my cat, Virgil, who is sitting on the counter. I shoo him away, think it must have been the thunder, or the early hour, that confused me. Then my roommate's phone rings, and goes to voice mail. Rings, and goes to voice mail. Rings, and goes to voice mail. Finally, I walk into the kitchen, grab his phone off the counter, and say, "Hello, this is my roommate's phone. Can I help you?" "Is everything OK?" a man asks. "Why wouldn't it be," I reply. "I got a call, heard strange noises, then a muffled voice calling for help." I assure him that everything is OK, and he seems satisfied. As I place the phone back on the counter, I realize: GOD DAMN IT VIRGIL YOUR ASS JUST SCARED THAT POOR MAN HALF TO DEATH. THE END Continue reading

So, as noted yesterday, I went on Graphic Policy Radio and discussed the series of premier of Gotham, which you can listen to here: The more serious discussion concerned how a show whose conclusion is foregone can actually survive -- after all, even though Gotham is going to focus, somewhat Wire-like, on the internal conflicts of the police and various criminal organizations, in the end we all know that the situation's going to deteriorate to the point at which the only answer is a wealthy orphan patrolling the night in a fetish bat outfit. Still, that leaves room for a good 10 or so seasons of watching the city fall apart, and that could certainly be gratifying, but only if the series creators understand what they have and how to use it. Which brings me to the second David Simon reference in this post, because I think the show's ceiling could be something like Homicide: Life on the Street. Consider how that show began, with Tim Bayliss catching the Adena Watson case, and how it haunted him through all six-ish seasons. In a similar fashion, you know the deaths of Thomas and Martha Wayne are going to haunt Gordon, and you know that he -- like Bayliss -- is going to form an unhealthy attachment to both the case and those left in its wake. Do I think Gotham is going to reach these heights? In all likelihood not. But do I think that it has a higher ceiling than most quasi-procedural cop dramas currently on television? I most certainly do. On a side note, we also established the most appropriate possible context for one of those Internet traditions I started awhile back: SO JUMP OFF THAT BUILDING YOUR THE GODDAMN BATMAN You know -- because he is.

If you're interested in what I have to say about Guardians of the Galaxy, I was a guest on Graphic Policy Radio radio talking about it last night. I made a number of claims about the film, foremost among them its indebtedness to mid-period Marx Brothers films. I also said quite about something I kept calling "old-school sci-fi wonder" -- though I have no idea why I became so wedded to that phrase -- and Parks and Rec, because anytime I have the opportunity to discuss Parks and Rec, I will. UPDATE: I forgot many of the interesting tangents we went on, e.g. What would a science fiction film that wasn't anthropocentric actually look like, and would it ever get made? (For example, can you imagine a film version of an Iain M. Banks novel?) AND ALSO: All of the "Bert Macklin, FBI" stuff on Parks and Rec -- his deep commitment to his flights of fancy -- always reminded me of what Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes would've grown up to be like, so Guardians of the Galaxy struck me like a "Spaceman Spiff" serial.

SEK went to the supermarket to pick up tuna fish for his elderly cat who now only eats food that also contains tuna. As tuna is on sale, he purchases twenty cans of it and is on the checkout line in front of POLITE DRUNK MAN. POLITE DRUNK MAN: You don't eat all them cans, now? SEK: Wasn't planning on it. POLITE DRUNK MAN: TV say they full of Menicillin. SEK: Mercury? POLITE DRUNK MAN: Menicillin, bad for the children, real bad. SEK: I promise not to share it with any kids. POLITE DRUNK MAN: Menicillin's terrible, make 'em have miscarriages. SEK: The kids? POLITE DRUNK MAN: Ain't even get a chance to be kids, they born miscarried, or with arms.

SEK: That I did. TRUSTWORTHY LOCAL AUTO MAN: Means your electrical is reset, our computer can't do a lot of the tests. SEK: So long as its fluids are replenished and it doesn't have murder in its heart, I'm fine. TRUSTWORTHY LOCAL AUTO MAN: So when do you need it by? SEK: I have a meeting at 2 p.m. TRUSTWORTHY LOCAL AUTO MAN: I don't think I can have it done by 1:30. SEK: No a problem, I work online. Just need to be back home and I live around the corner.

Being that I'm the kind of person who has his own film school and what-not, I decided to read Esquire's interview with the now-not-but-soon-to-be-again-retired Stephen Soderbergh. "Could be edifying," I thought to myself — and it was, especially this passage: A real litmus test for me is how people treat someone who is waiting on them. That's a deal-breaker for me. If I were on the verge of getting into a serious relationship and I saw that person be mean to a waiter — I'm out. That's a core problem. You're being mean to someone who's helping you. What is that? Everyone knows who the assholes are, and I avoid them. Because it's a funny story, but in the '90s I actually waited on Steven Soderbergh quite a bit, and if that's his litmus test, he didn't pass it. Not even remotely. Because as memory serves, when Soderbergh was a regular at the used bookstore/coffee shop I worked at, his treatment of me then would've been a deal-breaker for him now. One particularly memorable conversation involved his then-obsession with Ambrose Bierce. I'd placed the special orders for the books myself, so I knew they'd just come in the week before Mr. Ambrose Bierce Expert saw me reading Mason & Dixon behind the counter. He proceeded to excitedly tell me, at length and with some volume, that I was wasting my time reading Thomas Pynchon, because Ambrose Bierce was where it's really at. He went on and on and on, enthralled by his own love of Bierce — which, after I became an Americanist and read him, I believe is totally justifiable. But the point is, Soderbergh wouldn't just have failed his own criterion for the measure of humanity, he would have done so spectacularly. Which, as a friend on Facebook noted, might be the point. He might have chosen his worst character trait as the defining characteristic of humanity because it's something he had to overcome, and given the depth of charity to the underprivileged and unvoiced evident in his work, I'm tempted to believe that. Because as much as I despised him as a patron when I had to deal with him, I can't help but admire — however begrudgingly — what he's done with himself in the years since, especially Che. I know I'm defending the film against an idiot of an ideologue at that link, but even if I had to defend it against Roger Ebert himself, I'd do so with the same vehemence… …despite how I feel about the man personally. He's just that talented, damn it. There's a real humanity to his late-period work, especially in the films that everyone hated because they dealt with unsavory subjects like prostitutes or viral pandemics or Che. So on behalf of all the baristas and book-store employees he berated before he came to understand this truth as being self-evident, I'm just going to go ahead and forgive him. Continue reading

SEK's new AV Club Internet Film School column: On the importance of contiguity in Orange Is the New Black
My new column is up! And the title of it references a beloved Internet Tradition! Sample: What had, minutes earlier, been an audition for the role of "child" in a production of "family" has transformed into one for the role of "cog" in "drug enterprise." The confusion created by placing these scenes back-to-back will resonate throughout the season, as Taystee must decide whether Vee is a caring mother figure or an exacting boss. Initially, at least, she seems to understand the difference—but as the episode progresses, the amount of emotional energy she invests in acquiring a job becomes increasingly excessive, making the stitching of these two scenes together seem increasingly meaningful.

My latest Internet Film School column at the AV Club is open for business! Sample: The camera communicates a psychological state, but the logic C.K. follows here isn't predicated on the uncertainty of dreams so much as the tedium of depression. Everything is the same visually, in terms of the shot selection, but the situation is growing worse. Louie is increasingly a show about the mundane yet fraught experience of depression, and this mood is reflected in C.K.'s direction. Continue reading

I thought twice about checking in just to argue... You're always welcome here, Rich, and it's good to hear from you. I worry, you know. People read recaps for the same reason they read criticism of a book they've just read, to see if a reading of it by a critic will give them a different way of thinking about it, and point out things they've missed. I guess it's the genre -- a recap isn't really criticism, except in the passive way that all summaries necessarily involve a process of selection, i.e. what plot elements are considered important enough to worth mentioning or lingering on. so are you indicating tension about what you're writing, or what the format is constraining you to write? More the latter than the former. I always taught summary as the first step of criticism, so now that I'm a journalist, I'm starting to feel like I'm writing the first draft of history -- even if it is the history of a television show. Yes, that's all true, but haven't they gotten it already? Eye height and gaze direction, very important, used by directors to produce intended effects. I don't think so, or at the very least, people don't seem want to slow down themselves enough to produce the close-reading of a scene, but are more than happy to read a close-reading of one once I do it. In fact, they're clamoring for it -- my inbox is full of requests for me to break down the Purple Wedding in a Zapruder-like fashion to figure out whose gaze met whose and said what, etc. And I'm about half-way done with it, because it's incredibly complicated -- so on the one hand, yes, this is the sort of basic stuff that people intuitively understand, but on the other, the more complex the scene becomes, the more difficult it is to read intuitively, so breaking it down via eye-lasers becomes an exercise similar to what I did with the Keats almost a decade ago. it also did show that repeated interaction with interested people could lead to some progress in what you could talk to those people about. Writing for Raw Story and the AV Club necessitate thinking about audience differently. It helps that the AV Club is actually called "The Internet Film School," but I'm still being asked to develop the readings very slowly, so that anyone new to it can still understand what's going on. And the Raw Story is journalism, except for the recaps, but the recaps are their own animal, as discussed above. Ideally, I'd have enough time to do the basic breakdowns at Raw Story and the AV Club, then do more complex analyses that assume that people remember what I've written previously here and at LG&M, but I lack the energy at the moment. Doing nothing but sitting at a desk writing for nine or ten hour shifts makes one less inclined to want to sit at a desk and write -- especially when I'm working on a novel at the same time, and want to save some energy for that. And it's possible to have a really long argument about this, especially if you look in detail at what that Ember Island Players episode was trying to do, but it seems that you're writing in a place where that can't happen. I'm not going to say it can't happen, only that it hasn't yet. There have been some great comment threads at the AV Club, for example, ones that rival some of the best I've had anywhere online. I think once people come to expect my recaps at Raw Story, they'll start to understand what I'm getting at and start pushing me more, but that's just a matter of building an audience. That said, as sites as large as Raw Story, you sort of have the audience you have, not the one you deserve (or think you deserve), just as a matter of scale.

This interview would've been right up my alley back when I co-edited a successful literary theory blog
I suppose you could say Jeff VanderMeer was generous with his time when he agreed to do what turned into a 3,000 word-long interview about his new novel, Annihilation. A sample: SEK: The novel reads very much like the world it describes—utterly familiar, yet slightly off at all points. Was that your intent? (For example, on 59, you describe "Something like a body or a person," which makes perfect sense, yet is incredibly disturbing. What is like a body or a person that's not a body or a person?) JV: I hike a lot in North Florida, and from a distance, things look like other things. A bat can metamorph into a bird when seen closer. A creature on a log becomes just a stubby branch. A seeming tree trunk is actually a bear. You think you are going north, but suddenly, through some daydream of lapse of attention, you get turned around. These are, in a sense, reminders to us that the real world is stranger than we usually think. Imagine being able to spy on the processes going on around you while even walking down the sidewalk on your street—the plants employing photosynthesis and speaking to each other in chemical emissions, the ants with their pheromone trails, the fungi with their spores. Why, there's still crowded and noisy cosmopolitan situation all around you, but you can't experience any of it because your senses are these stunted, incomplete systems. You've got eyes that can't see the whole spectrum. A cat would laugh at your stupid sense of smell. Your sense of taste is pathetic compared to many creatures. Your sense of touch is put to shame by your average gecko. So the world is in a sense laughing at you anyway, or on some level ignoring you completely, and your sole contribution is the ability to tread too heavily on a dandelion and break its stem. So if we're honest the world should feel slightly off at times. The world should at times reveal some glint or glimmer of greater processes ongoing. Something like a body or a person. Something like a shadow or a creature. Something like a sudden clue… SEK: On page 111, you note that the pile of journals describing Area X will soon become Area X itself. This strikes me as a literal version of "contact narratives," in which what an explorer writes about an area he discovers becomes how future generations understand it. (Describing cities of gold in the "New World" leading explorers to "discover" such cities, even though they only ever existed in print.) Are these books [in "the Southern Reach" trilogy] an exercise in, call it, "creative geography"? Re-shaping the world by describing it? JV: I must admit my minor in college was Latin American history, and I'm sure there's a sedimentary layer in the back of my brain that, in soaking all of that conflicted and difficult chronology, has peeked out through some of the observations in Annihilation. I guess I... Continue reading

You can read my full recap here, but just in case you want to know where I come down on the episode's most controversial issue: Speaking of still being alive, Jaime Lannister is, and he's a man, and he has needs. In a reversal of the Jaime-is-becoming-a-better-human-being plot, here we have a sex-starved Jaime raping his sister over the body of their dead child — in other words, we have a return to the incestuous relations that make King's Landing the city we love to hate. As for whether it's a rape, director Alex Graves told Alan Sepinwall that "it becomes consensual by the end, because anything for them ultimately results in a turn-on, especially a power struggle." Which means, yes, it's rape. So, there's that out of the way… My podcast with Steven Attewell on the new episode of Game of Thrones is also available: Audio available here. Continue reading

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Online banking customers are at risk from the latest malicious software uncovered by researchers at ESET, the global leader in proactive digital protection with a 25 year track record of developing award-winning technology.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121109/SF09648LOGO)
Analysis of a malicious Apache module, detected by ESET as Linux/Chapro.A, found that the world's most widely used web server, Apache, is being used to carry out these attacks, injecting malicious content into web pages served by an infected Linux server, without the knowledge of the website owner. Although the malware can serve practically any type of content, in this specific case it installs a variant of Win32/Zbot, malware designed to steal information from online banking customers. While this particular version of Win32/Zbot targets European and Russian banking institutions, Linux/Chapro.A could eventually be used to mount attacks on American banks.
"The attack described in the present analysis shows the increased complexity of malware attacks," said Pierre-Marc Bureau, ESET security intelligence program manager. "This complicated case spreads across three different countries, targeting users from a fourth one, and making it very hard for law enforcement agencies to investigate and mitigate its effects."
The malicious module has a couple of interesting capabilities used to reduce its chances of being spotted by system administrators, like setting cookies on the victim's machine and hiding from web browsers in which it might produce an error. ESET researchers first discovered Linux/Chapro.A in November. The exploit was first blocked by ESET through generic detection, even before the link was added to the URL blacklist. At the time of the analysis, the malicious command and control server was being hosted in Germany, but has recently gone offline.
Based on ESET's analysis, the iframe injected by Linux/Chapro.A points to a "Sweet Orange" exploit pack landing page.
"At the time of our analysis, the exploit pack was being hosted in Lithuania. The pack tries to exploit several vulnerabilities found in modern web browsers and plugins," said Bureau. "Our investigation reveals, the final purpose of the attack is to install a variant of Win32/Zbot, also known as ZeuS. For many years, ZeuS has been widely used to steal banking related information."
Once the user has logged into his account, the malware will inject a pop-up asking for the user's CVV code. The malware will then try to send the user credentials along with the CVV to the botnet operator. While the ESET research team has not witnessed any other installations of Linux/Chapro.A in the wild, it has observed thousands of users accessing the "Sweet Orange" exploit pack before ESET blocked access to this server with their products.
