Los Angeles Lakers forward Jordan Hill faces a felony assault charge after his girlfriend accused him of choking and shoving her in Houston earlier this year.
Hill is charged with assaulting 28-year-old Darlene Luna on Feb. 29 at his apartment while the New York Knicks' former first-round draft pick was playing for the Houston Rockets.
The 24-year-old Hill was charged by Harris County prosecutors in March, and he has a court appearance scheduled for Tuesday in Houston.
Hill was apologetic, but said little about the accusations after the Lakers' practice at their training complex Monday.

'Spring Breakers', 'Before Midnight', 'Much Ado About Nothing' On SXSW Film Lineup
Don't mess with Texas. They know how to throw one hell of a festival.
The full lineup for films (109 in total) at the 2013 SXSW Festival in Austin has been announced, and it's got something for everyone. Joining previously announced headliners like the already-controversial Spring Breakers (pictured), as well as Evil Dead, and The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, are a slate of films that were smashes at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival like Before Midnight, Don Jon's Addiction, Mud, Upstream Color, Prince Avalanche, Sound City, and James Franco's other entry Maladies.
Films making their premiere at the SXSW Festival — which kicks off on March 8 and runs until March 16 — includes fest favorite Joss Whedon's eagerly anticipated adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing, the Jake Johnson and Olivia Wilde-starrer Drinking Buddies, and the documentary about the life of Stephen Hawking, fittingly titled Hawking.
The diverse lineup, which includes movies that star everyone from Josh Duhamel (Scenic Route) to Ken Marino (Milo) to Connie Britton (When Angels Sing) to Anna Faris (I Give It A Year), as well as the festival's foray into television (Vera Farmiga will be on hand to debut A&E's upcoming Psycho series Bates Motel) and panels (a conversation with the ubiquitous Matthew McConaughey, who stars in the buzzy Mud) has quickly made the once music-dominated SXSW into a must-stop on the film festival circuit.
The full list of films are available on SXSW's website and be sure to check back in with Hollywood.com for full festival coverage.

U.S. Department of Defense's C4ISR Services Provide Ample Opportunities for More Market Participants, Finds Frost & Sullivan
06 Dec, 2012, 13:03 GMT
- In overall defense spending contracts, C4ISR services contracts have positive growth
MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, Dec. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Though service businesses tend to have low margins, spending on services almost matches procurement. The use of mature commercial technology is easing integration, engineering and sustainment requirements.
Frost & Sullivan's Aerospace & Defense (www.frost.defense.com) practice finds that Department of Defense (DoD) spending for command and control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) services totaled $20.89 billion in 2011. These expenditures are estimated to reach $28.00 billion in 2017.

Continuing combat operations drives the demand for logistics, installation, and operational services not only in Afghanistan, but across the C4ISR enterprise. As the planned drawdown of troops in Afghanistan accelerates, the lessons learned will be applied to new areas of operations.
"Anti-access and area denial challenges invigorate engineering and management services as the DoD seeks to assign new missions, increase the range of sensors, enable collaboration, and ensure network survivability," said Frost & Sullivan Senior Industry Analyst Brad Curran. "This operational concept will require extensive C4ISR services contracts through 2017."
Cloud computing and cybersecurity requirements put focus on commercial services and integration as the DoD seeks to improve reliability and security while simultaneously reducing costs.
C4ISR services spending through 2017 is expected to focus on joint service command and control networks.

Life Insurance Costs for UK Women Likely to be 15% Higher by the End of 2012
16 Nov, 2012, 08:00 GMT
LONDON, November 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Not all the decisions made by the EU have a tangible impact on consumers here in the UK, but the recent changes made to the rules in terms of gender neutral insurance surely will. Many of the experts are advising that those in search of life insurance act fast in order to avoid bearing the brunt of the amendments made in Europe.
A gender neutral approach to insurance premiums will come into effect across the entire industry from 21st December 2012. This is a key date for consumers because it is likely to bring with it a rise in premiums, particularly for women who were previously given a better deal on insurance products, including car insurance and life insurance.
The team at Lifebroker is keen to stress that those searching for suitable life insurance cover will continue to see the benefits of individually-tailored policies until that date arrives. This means that women on the lookout for an appropriate life insurance policy may be able to seek out a better deal for the next few weeks only.
After the 21st December, women will be subject to the same rules as men when it comes to life insurance. This means that they will no longer receive favourable premiums and any quotes given after the all-important date are likely to be around 15% higher than those given out beforehand.
Many in the industry are advising proactivity. Consumers are encouraged to learn about what gender neutral premiums mean for them and to do so quickly if they have designs upon securing a policy at a favourable rate. The team at Lifebroker has already seen a high number of inquiries from consumers in recent weeks and months concerned about the premiums they may be subject to after the EU rule change comes into effect.
Those interested in speaking to an expert about obtaining the right cover quickly can visit the Lifebroker website at http://www.lifebroker.co.uk where they will have access to specialist advice and guidance.
The new rules are expected to affect policies for men as well as women, which is why consumers eager to explore their life insurance options are urged to take the matter up with the professionals as soon as possible.

What do such cases have to say about the Arab Spring? That the problems so evident in Egypt and other transitioning countries today are entirely normal and predictable, that they are primarily the fault of the old authoritarian regimes rather than new democratic actors, and that the demise of authoritarianism and the experimentation with democratic rule will almost certainly be seen in retrospect as major steps forward in these countries' political development, even if things get worse before they eventually get better.
Most countries that are stable liberal democracies today had a very difficult time getting there. Even the cases most often held up as exemplars of early or easy democratization, such as England and the United States, encountered far more problems than are remembered, with full-scale civil wars along the way. Just as those troubles did not mean democracy was wrong or impossible for North America or western Europe, so the troubles of today's fledgling Arab democracies do not mean it is wrong or impossible for the Middle East.
Then and now, most of the problems new democracies faced were inherited. Democracy does not necessarily cause or exacerbate communal and social strife and frustration, but it does allow the distrust and bitterness built up under authoritarian regimes to surface, often with lamentable results. But nostalgia for authoritarian stability is precisely the wrong response to such troubles, since it is the pathologies inherent in authoritarianism that help cause the underlying problems in the first place.
History tells us that societies cannot overcome their problems unless and until they face them squarely. The toppling of a long-standing authoritarian regime is not the end of a process of democratization but the beginning of it.

BWW:UK Interviews: Writer/Performer Peter Michael Marino Of DESPERATELY SEEKING THE EXIT
Peter Michael Marino is a writer/performer who has enjoyed success with many of his one man shows as well as appearing in hit shows like Stomp Off-Broadway.
However. it was the musical version of Desperately Seeking Susan that he conceived and for which he wrote the book that saw his name in all the papers around the world.
Sadly, for the wrong reasons.
You see, Susan was a major flop in the West End closing after four weeks and at a loss of £4 million. Now in a unique and exciting move, Marino has written and is starring in a new one-man show called Desperately Seeking the Exit (the headline for the review of his musical in one of the national papers) that talks about the whole ordeal and also his life as an American trying to fit in to a very British culture.
We caught up with the man himself to talk about Susan, Exit...and more jukebox musicals...
Hey Pete, how are you?
Great! Summer has hit NYC early and winter never came.
For the people who are not familiar with your work, can you let us know the kind of stuff you have done before? You have quite a varied CV.
Well, I was the funny guy in STOMP for five years and toured the world, and I do voice-overs for TV and radio commercials to support my theatre habit. I also teach classes in creating solo show material, as well as comedy and improv classes. Actually, I will be at the Actors Centre this July teaching my Instant Improv classes again. I really enjoy teaching on the other side of the pond.
Your new one man-show Desperately Seeking the Exit revolves around your experience of writing a major West End flop musical Desperately Seeking Susan. Can you tell us what motivated you to write this new one-man show?
Truthfully, the hundreds of students I've had the great fortune to work with over the years inspired me. I'm a huge fan of solo shows and I find them to be the most organic way to share personal stories in a theatrical way. A common fear that solo performers have is that their stories aren't interesting to anyone else but themselves. The only person who's lived that story is the person who can best tell it – and we all love stories. I've told many stories about the making and unmaking of DSS through the years and everyone always told me to do a show about it, so, after five years, the timing feels right. I can now understand how that whole crazy experience has changed me as a writer, performer and human being. Trust me, I didn't think that day would ever come!
The piece is quite a brave piece as it's not often we get to hear a writer talk about a show that did not run long so openly, did you have any worries or concerns about what people involved in the musical might think?
I care deeply about everyone involved with the musical. They all shared their talent, trust, hearts, and wallets to make it happen. We became a real family over the course of developing, previewing and running the show. Most have remained "family" after it closed. This is not a sour grapes show… that would not be fun or funny. I don't point fingers or do character assassinations. I simply tell the story from my own point of view, based on the daily blog I kept about the whole experience from day one. In the end, I'm still a writer and a performer, so sharing this personal story is part of my DNA. It's a little lesson on how a big show gets made and unmade, but also the story of a novice writer navigating the highs and lows of a high-profile, theatrical venture in a foreign country.
Personally speaking I rather enjoyed Desperately Seeking Susan, what are your thoughts on the show now it's closed?
You clearly have exquisite taste. I still get emails and tweets from people all over the world who ask when the show is coming back. I'm quite sure it won't be in London or New York, but I do hope it gets licensed someday. The UK production had some wonderfully fun and exciting moments, but there weren't enough of them. It didn't have a tremendous sense of urgency or wit. After seeing the Tokyo production (in Japanese), I realized that if done right, DSS had a ton of potential to really engage an audience. I would make some sweeping changes if it ever comes back. We fixed and fussed so much during previews that the cast and design team didn't get a fair chance to make it their own. This is where I wish we had an out-of-town tryout; but sometimes, the cards don't line up that way. Theatre can be a fickle beast! But that's why we keep doing it.
Can you remember a particular moment in the rehearsal period or previews where you thought that something may be going wrong?
Reading the words "Oh, dear" at the top of the chat thread on this very site after the first preview certainly made me think something was wrong. Of course, reading positive comments changes everything! But the negative ones outweighed the positive. I think folks had their daggers prepped for DSS and I can see why. Strange that in an industry where everyone truly works their tails off to make something good, so many in the same challenging industry take so much glee in tearing things down. I pretty much address what I thought was "wrong" in Desperately Seeking the Exit… so come see the show for all the deets!
In the new play you talk about the cultural differences between the UK and US, what did you find the hardest to adjust to about UK life?
Communication. I'm from Queens, NY, so I have a big mouth and a ton of opinions. I found British culture to be much more reserved. So, since I was working in a foreign country with West End professionals, I kept quiet most of the time. And this was the hardest thing to do. I wish I had been more vocal. I'm sure my collaborators would disagree.
The UK did not embrace the musical so did you have any reservations about bringing the new play to the UK?
None at all. If you hated DSS or loved it, or if you didn't see it, this solo comedy will hopefully provide laughs and insights no matter where it's performed. It's been a fun challenge writing the show for both an American and European audience. My director the Obie and multiple Fringe First-Award winner John Clancy and I have worked hard to insure that the show works for folks who've never seen the film or any musical – or even know Blondie. We've tried to create a tale that is universal. We'll see what happens when it premieres in NYC in May. Now, that's a tough crowd.
Susan actually went on to enjoy success in Tokyo where it played to sell out audiences and great reviews. How did that you make feel after what had happened in the West End?
After the show closed on the West End, I went into a year-long depression. I couldn't even get out of bed on some days. It sucked and I took a lot of anti-depressants. When I got back to NY after seeing the show in Tokyo, I literally dumped all my "happy pills" and never touched them again. The musical worked there, and it gave me a new confidence in the show and myself.
Susan is such an American show, and Blondie, the music you used in the show, is American too. Did you ever discuss the musical opening in America first and do you think that would have been a better move?
London was on the radar from the beginning. This was the choice of the producers and the original Tony-winning New York director. The climate wasn't right in NY at that time for a jukebox/movie mashup – but really, is it ever? London loves Blondie. That's where they first hit it big in the late 70s. And, from what I can tell, London loves jukebox musicals. Haven't Mamma Mia and We Will Rock you been playing for 200 years?
You are taking Desperately Seeking the Exit to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for four weeks, which must be exciting. Have you played there before and what are you most looking forward to?
I cannot wait for Edinburgh. Preparing for a show there takes at least eight months of planning. It feels like a full-time job getting everything ready! I directed a small cabaret at the festival in 2010 and enjoyed catching dozens of shows in five days. Such a wide variety of theatre, comedy and dance. I'm really looking forward to meeting other artists and being bombarded with entertainment. And sharing my story with complete strangers also excites me. Also, the weather looks incredible.
My company Vertigo Theatre Productions are producing the Manchester production of the show, are you looking forward to playing in our great city?
If I had my druthers, DSS would have tried out there! Your offer to present DSE was one of the highlights of this process. I did a simple reading of the show in Buffalo, New York last month and I'm so glad I did. You really learn a lot from an out-of-town-tryout. I'm sure the show will change during its run in New York, and then Los Angeles, and then the Adirondack Mountains. Manchester is another stop on the journey and I've always been impressed reading about your work at Vertigo. Small world – Vertigo premiers Charles Busch plays and Charles has been an inspiration since I first met him in 1985. We are still friends to this day. It's the Circle of Liiiiiiife!
After what happened with Susan has it put you off writing a musical again or will we get to see a new one from you soon?
I've got a few more up my sleeve. They always say to have your next project ready while you're working on your current project, and yes, I have 2.5 jukebox shows ready to rock. Any takers?
Please sum up in less than 10 words why audiences should come and see Desperately Seeking the Exit.
Who doesn't love a good train wreck story?
Thanks for speaking with us today, and best of luck with the new show.
Desperately Seeking the Exit is playing in New York, LA, Manchester UK and Edinburgh. For the full tour details please visit the website

So Here Is the iPhone Lineup That T-Mobile Just Announced
Yep, T-Mobile is finally getting the iPhone.
With the iPhone 5, T-Mobile is actually getting its own version of the phone, supporting its unique spectrum bands, meaning that the device supports all of the company's high-speed options. It will also support HD Voice, a feature that Apple included with iPhone 5 but hasn't yet been supported by U.S. carriers.
The phone will sell for $99 down and $20 per month for 24 months.
T-Mobile will also have the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S in select markets. However, the older iPhones won't support T-Mobile's AWS bands, meaning they will work at full speeds only in cities where T-Mobile has added support for carrying high-speed data over the same frequencies used by AT&T. (T-Mobile currently has done so in 49 areas.)
The iPhone 4S will be priced at $69.99 down and $20 per month for 24 months, while the iPhone 4 will cost $14.99 upfront and $15 a month for 24 months. Those will also be available April 12, we're told.
The carrier is taking sign-ups for the iPhone 5 on its website.

That quote is actualy very witty, Celdur. I suggest you use that in your signature.
I wish I had $15 to burn on this. Hey Sam, at least post me one of those sour grapes pictures!
Does the game give me the option of posting on facebook every time I milk a cow?
Sam is basically right, he's just cranky.

"I'm gonna go down to Schiavoni's and try to pick someone up."
Is not a declaration oft heard, especially in this the "pre-season"—but I had occasion to utter this to my husband last month. He's a professional musician and had been playing in Florida for a week—when he got back I told him we had a restaurant to review, but it was Maundy Thursday and he had to play at a local church's Seder supper.
No one from work was free to go with me. I hung out at the Seder for a while trying to pick someone off. Nope, many were sorely tried in their religious convictions when they heard it was Muse in the Harbor that I was reviewing, but they all stuck to their meal plans. Eventually I headed off to sit outside of our local IGA, Schiavoni's, in hopes of running into someone I know. I hadn't ruled out inviting a perfect stranger along but no "perfect" specimens presented themselves. I was tempted to ask an obese girl who walked by carrying her shoulder bag like a tourist—because she made me look thin—but ultimately I toddled over to Muse on my own.
Muse is a go-to place for me, not just because I live in Sag Harbor Village and Muse does a great prix fixe—but I like the place, the food and the service.
Muse was celebrating its anniversary in this space. Just over a year ago they moved from Water Mill. The fish in the fish tank are a lot bigger than they were a year ago, the rest of the interior is much the same—clean, well designed. Chef Matthew Guiffrida was talking to the East End's favorite hostess, Jen the Beautiful, when I stepped in. Matt told me that the outdoor area on the south side of Muse is about to undergo a major overhaul complete with an art installation by Sam Panton of Terradesign Studio Inc. Also new will be a menu debuting just before Memorial Day weekend.
New Beginnings are definitely in the air as Matt married his longtime girlfriend Sheila Mullahy recently. Also, look for more live music at Muse—Suzy on the Rocks, the Hamptons' premier party band is set to play there next month. I hope that becomes a regular thing…I can walk home from Muse…generally.
Jen suggested I try a Cucumber-n-Cider to start. Crop Organic Cucumber Vodka, fresh local cider, a touch of St. Germaine and a slice of lime—very nice, drinkable, not at all sweet.
Muse's wine list includes local faves like Grapes of Roth, Peconic Bay and Wölffer, but I had to get myself home, so I stopped at one cocktail.
The "Soup of the Moment" was Greek Corn Chowder and I went with it. Hearty but not heavy, corn plus feta equals salty with a nice texture. Yes, I tipped the bowl and pushed the parsley garnish aside to get at the last bit.
If my husband had come along he probably would have ordered the Horseradish & Gorgonzola Crusted Ribeye Steak with its tawny port demi glace. It does sound amazing.
I wanted to try the Zucchini Flapjacks with Gramma G's Cupolitina. Featuring eggplant, onion, celery, green pepper, capers, artichoke hearts and green and black olives with the flapjacks, Boursin cheese carpaccio and artichoke hummus—Matt explained that cupolitina is what his family made every year when their garden was overflowing. Bravo. Served in a neat stack, the richness of the eggplant and the olive-y undernotes melded into a fabu dish. I begged Matt to keep it on his new season's menu. He said he's been canning cupolitina for years and hopes to begin selling it by the jar this summer.
I decided to try the Slightly Spicy Jumbo Shrimp Scampi with its creamed spinach—I was curious about the "carbonara cake" that it comes on. The cake was slightly smoky in flavor, very filling. The jumbo shrimp were cooked just right. The spinach was very rich and creamy. I'd order it again, but after this dose I was feeling very stuffed, far too stuffed for a dessert of Matt's signature Zeppole—so I ordered one of his S'mores to go. I can't resist that pillow of marshmallow.

"Just go to the Western Wall?"
My friend nodded. It was the early 1990s, I was in college about to take my very first ever trip to Israel. After growing up hearing about Israel, I'd finally decided to go see it for myself: all year, I'd worked two campus jobs, saved every penny, and was about to spend a whole summer in Jerusalem, traveling around, taking Jewish classes, and studying Hebrew.
My plans were hazy; I hadn't even thought about what I'd do on Shabbat. My friend cautioned me to be prepared: stores closed before sundown on Friday and public transportation ground to a halt. If I wanted to experience the real Israel, I'd have to join in a family celebration – and I could, he assured me, just by showing up at the Western Wall Friday at dusk.
Free meals just for showing up at a tourist attraction? I was sure it couldn't be right. Besides, I realized, as I approached the Western Wall my first Friday in Israel, it was mobbed; there was no way I'd find these men at the Wall with all these people around – assuming they were even here.
As I made my way through the crowds, I watched my fellow visitors in their Shabbat finery. Suddenly, joining in a Shabbat celebration was something I was longing for. I placed my hand against the stones; after the heat of the day, they felt warm to the touch, almost like a living being. "Please help me," I whispered. "Let me be a part of this too."
When I looked up, I saw them: two men in the plaza in front of the Wall, each surrounded by a crowd. As I edged towards one circle, the man in the middle spotted me. He was tall, a little severe, and wore a black hat. I nearly edged away again, but he'd caught my eye. "You," he said with the hint of a smile, "do you have any place to eat tonight?" I shook my head. He gave me a quick look, then, as if deciding something, nodded to one side. "Wait here," he instructed, "I'll take you to a family soon."
I stood chatting with three other girls; they were in college too, also exploring Israel for the summer. Once we were finally acquainted, the man in the hat briskly ordered "Follow me!" and led us all away. We walked through the streets of Jerusalem's Old City, and I was reminded of the fairy tale of the Pied Piper, except here, instead of the children of Hamlin following the Piper out into the countryside, we were a gaggle of mostly American, mostly young tourists being dropped off in groups at various houses and apartment buildings for dinner.
My new friends and I were among the last to be dropped off. "I'm taking you to a great family, very special people," the man said, and led us deep into Mea Shearim, a Jerusalem neighborhood famous for its deeply religious residents. I'd been there already – my tour book called the neighborhood a must-see, unique for its resemblance to an Eastern European shtetl of old – and I was a little apprehensive to visit this foreign environment not as a tourist, but as a guest.
The man – I'd never thought to ask him his name – quickly introduced us to a young woman who'd come down to meet us. With a quick "Good Shabbos," he was off.
My new friends and I stared at our Shabbat host. She looked roughly our age, but seemed much more sophisticated, with her stylish suit and perfect hair and makeup. I'll never forget that night. The narrow streets of Mea Shearim were full of families wishing each other a warm "Good Shabbos." Our meal was delicious; our hostess was funny and smart. At the end of the evening, she insisted on walking us half-way across the city. She didn't mind the exercise, she explained; thanks to aerobics classes she was in good shape. The other girls and I were shocked: an ultra-Orthodox woman who did aerobics? I wanted to find other families like hers, to spend other Friday evenings immersed in Shabbat. I was hooked.
The next Friday, and the next, and the next, I went back to the Western Wall, sometimes with friends, sometimes on my own. Each time, I joined in the throngs around those two men at the Wall. One man was shorter and more outgoing – I soon learned his name was Jeffrey Seidel. The other man was tall, more reserved; I only found out later that he was Rabbi Meir Schuster, a distinguished rabbi who – among his many other activities – founded Heritage House, a guest house in Jerusalem's Old City where thousands of young Jews through the years came to stay and explore Judaism.
A naturally shy and reserved man, Rabbi Schuster nevertheless forced himself to speak to the many visitors and tourists at the Wall. Day in and out, for over 40 years, Rabbi Schuster was a presence at the Western Wall, offering visitors help in connecting with a Shabbat meal, a class, a place to stay. He was known for his fierce dedication and commitment that stemmed from his deep caring for every Jew.
I left Israel at the end of that summer without ever saying thank you to Rabbi Schuster, and I never saw him again.
Last month, my husband and I were visiting Jerusalem. We got lost in the tangle of Old City streets and stopped a man to ask directions. I stared at him for a moment. "Jeffrey Seidel?" I asked, incredulously. It had been 25 years since he and Rabbi Schuster set me up for meals, and now, incredibly, I'd run into him again.
We caught up a little, and I finally got the chance to say thank you. I fished a picture of my kids out of my purse and showed it to Mr. Seidel. They're growing up in a home where Shabbat is central to our weeks, I told him, largely because of those Shabbat meals he arranged. "Thank you," I said. It took me 25 years to say it, but thank you.
Sadly I never got the chance to personally thank Rabbi Meir Schuster, of blessed memory. He died, after a lengthy illness, on February 17, 2014. This Shabbat I plan on telling my children about him. I'll tell them how for a long time, I didn't know Rabbi Schuster's name. For me, he was simply the Man at the Wall.

The Convent
"Rosone" St. Francis balisica
St. Francis Basilica
We visited Assisi, in the Umbria region of Italy. Assisi is the hometonw of the famous Saint Francis of Assisi. We spent three days touring important religious sites, visiting medioeval churches, eating "gelato", walking cobblestone streets 4 feet wide build 1000+ years ago and sleeping in an "agriturismo" an italian style of bed and breakfast. Look up http://www.malvarina.it/
We had our dose of adventure as well, as Emma injured a finger at a pool and had to go to an emeergency room, where she was given four stitches. She was very brave-.
Finally, it was very hard to rent a vehicle that would fit our family of 6. We handed up with a 9 passanger Mercedes van built as a delivery truck that was as tall as a camper. Problem is that it did not fit in most of Assisi parking lots and small hilly streets... We felt like a bull in a china shop.
