 'Wild Horses' (by the Rolling Stones) is one that a bar manager suggested to us, and in a way I was a little bit dismissive of it, because how can you ever top the Stones version? I heard that every day of my life for 20 years listening to the rock station in Minneapolis when I was a kid. But once we actually set ourselves to it, it's such a fun song to sing. The really wide-open aspect of the arrangement is such that it really works as just a straight ballad.

 [A few days before the start of the NCAA tournament last March, Texas coach Rick Barnes looked on as reporters fired questions at guard Brandon Mouton, most of which were a variation on one theme:] You play so well during the season, but then you disappear in the tournament -- what's up with that? ... Brandon, I've heard all those questions. I know you don't choke. But if you don't play well in this tournament, that's what I'm going to tell the world you did .

 [But despite its strength, GE has tended to be quiet about its privacy efforts, treating it more like compliance. For that reason, the hiring of Kelly may be an indication that GE wants to turn its stellar privacy record into more of a competitive differentiator.] Maybe GE has reached a realization that they could be more externally focused, ... Nuala has done a really good job of fighting lots of fires and tackling lots of issues. She's been very transparent.

 [If Harmony is her character, it also appears to be one of Monaghan's strengths -- her part being sandwiched between the roles of Downey Jr. and Kilmer, a bumbling thief and gay detective, respectively. The trio, according to the Iowa native, clicked from the start.] I have to say I was in awe of them, ... These were two actors that I really admired for such a long time, but on the first day they literally said, 'Go for it -- do whatever you want creatively.'

 [If the foregoing was simply insensitive, George W. Bush's comparison of the first U.S. war against Iraq, when his dad was commander in chief, and the current U.S. war against Iraq is damning. In] Misunderestimated: The President Battles Terrorism, John Kerry and the Bush Haters ... I think freedom will prevail, so long as the U.S. and its allies don't ... do what many Iraqis still suspect might happen, and that is cut and run early, like what happened in '91.

 [MGM's exit polls are very promising.] Kids love the movie, ... Our audience is predominantly young -- 12 and younger -- so most of the eyeballs got in at children's price. But we expect that age group to grow over the coming weeks as word of mouth spreads. The film is budgeted considerably under $30 million, so it's going to be very profitable. Frankie Muniz's last film ('Big Fat Liar') opened to $11 million and did $47 million (so) this could do $60 million.

 [When fresh content is added on Mondays, box office stars are often prime targets. One article reports that the Screen Actors Guild changed its name to the] Screen Appearance Guild ... According to a little known SAG by-law, if three or more individuals with no discernible acting talent who got roles only out of kitsch value join SAG the union may no longer call itself the Screen Actors Guild, as the name is no longer an accurate description of its membership.

 A great media convergence is taking place: the lines between video content, television and the Internet are blurring. The result is a new medium, propelling us into exciting and challenging multimedia, as has never been seen before. The audience of the NAB show will benefit greatly from this conference. They will leave understanding and ready to capitalize on the powerful development of Web and mobile content converging with traditional video and broadcasting.

 A severed hand
Is an ugly thing and man dissevered from the earth and stars
and his history... for contemplation or in fact...
Often appears atrociously ugly. Integrity is wholeness,
the greatest beauty is
Organic wholeness, the wholeness of life and things, the divine beauty
of the universe. Love that, not man
Apart from that, or else you will share man's pitiful confusions,
or drown in despair when his days darken.
  Robinson Jeffers

 After the planet becomes theirs, many millions of years will have to pass before a beetle particularly loved by God, at the end of its calculations will find written on a sheet of paper in letters of fire that energy is equal to the mass multiplied by the square of the velocity of light. The new kings of the world will live tranquilly for a long time, confining themselves to devouring each other and being parasites among each other on a cottage industry scale.
  Primo Levi

 AH&LA firmly believes that new labor agreements can be reached to continue to provide hotel employees with the job security and benefits they need to maintain a good quality of life and also allows hotels to be competitive and deliver quality service at a reasonable price to our guests. But no matter what, hotels will remain open and will do everything they can to make sure all events are well executed and that there is little or no impact on any guest's stay.

 Allah, there is no god but He-- He will most certainly gather you together on the resurrection day, there is no doubt in it; and who is more true in word than Allah? / What is the matter with you, then, that you have become two parties about the hypocrites, while Allah has made them return (to unbelief) for what they have earned? Do you wish to guide him whom Allah has caused to err? And whomsoever Allah causes to err, you shall by no means find a way for him.

 And if you wish to have (one) wife in place of another and you have given one of them a heap of gold, then take not from it anything; would you take it by slandering (her) and (doing her) manifest wrong? / And how can you take it when one of you has already gone in to the other and they have made with you a firm covenant? / And marry not woman whom your fathers married, except what has already passed; this surely is indecent and hateful, and it is an evil way.

 And then Lamar -- it's a billboard company. It's all in small markets. Their business has been turning and coming back and it's trading at 15 times free cash flow, ... We think it's worth $20 (per share) and can get taken up between $60 and $70 a share ... You're starting to see the rebound in advertising. The billboard business, for them, continues to be pretty steady and it's rebounding. So, it's more specific for Lamar but the industry is performing better.

 Are we going to slow to the growth that we've seen in this morning's report? ... No. We're probably going to come back to something closer to trend. The Fed puts the trend at about 3 percent. I think we're apt to come back toward the 3 percent level. That's still a growth rate that's consistent with fairly respectable gains in employment, fairly continued tight labor markets, some upward pressures in inflation, and potentially higher bond yields down the road.
