Touring Europe as a French chevalier and Russia's highest-paid artiste,he was given a state funeral in Poland in 1867. Blackta was born out of Nathaniel Martello-White's RADA frustrations. (Courtesy of Blackta)Aldridge's remarkable life has inspired a resonant play,Red Velvet,at London's Tricycle Theatre. The pioneering thespian,who moves from disillusioned dotage back to audacious youth,is played with magnetic power by Adrian Lester,who in a neat echo is one of the most respected Shakespearean actors of our own time. Fêted in stage roles from Hamlet to Henry?V,Lester is also known to many as a sophisticated con man in the primetime TV series Hustle. Lester's triumphant versatility as a black British actor—along with other renowned Shakespearean leads including David Harewood,David Oyelowo,and Chiwetel Ejiofor—underlines how far theater in Britain has come since Aldridge's day toward making talent,not race,the decisive factor in an actor's career.
Randall "Pink" Floyd (Jason London) and his football teammates Don Dawson (Sasha Jenson) and Benny O'Donnell (Cole Hauser) are asked to sign a pledge to not drink or do drugs all summer—much to Floyd's chagrin. Meanwhile,the freshman boys,including Mitch Kramer (Wiley Wiggins),are worried about being chased down and paddled by the rising seniors,including notorious a-hole Fred O'Bannion (Ben Affleck),while the freshman girls are busy being hazed with ketchup and whipped cream by the cheerleading squad,led by Darla Marks (Parker Posey) and pals Simone Kerr (Joey Lauren Adams) and Jodi Kramer (Michelle Burke).There's also Wooderson (Matthew McConaughey),a post-grad who still loves them high school girls; Slater (Rory Cochrane),the school's biggest weed lover; Kevin (Shawn Pickford) and Michelle (Milla Jovovich),a pair of stoner space cadets,and more.
And in France,the deniers are just as problematic as actual anti-Semitic violence.Yes,the CNN report is right—both French aliyah numbers and reports of anti-Semitic violence are on the rise. But CNN is right only by accident,and we can't have that. As the saying goes,even a broken clock is right twice a day; that doesn't mean you should run out and buy one.

When I’m with someone who is really struggling,I generally get saturated with a kind of enormous respect and admiration for that person’s willingness to show that they are human.5. Sometimes I wonder if my therapist is really interested in what I’m saying. How can I know?M.S.: I’d say ask your therapist,rather than trying to guess whether they are. That’s one cool thing about the therapy relationship: you can ask things that you might not normally ask "in real life," as my clients put it. You might sometimes want to ask your friends "Hey,are you bored with me?" or "Are you uninterested right now?" but many people are scared to ask. But,the cool thing is,if you feel safe enough in therapy,you can just ask—you don’t have to guess!E.
Obama: No ‘Rush’ on Syria President Obama said Tuesday there is evidence that chemical weapons have been used in Syria but that the U.S. doesn’t know "how they were used,when they were used,who used them"—and that he would not be "rushing to judgment" without more facts.

) This poor targeting creates economic as well as fiscal costs – with this policy providing no incentive to work harder or grow the tax base. Indeed, by making tax avoidance more attractive to middle income families this policy may shrink the tax base. There is a stronger case for cutting the 50p rate. Yet while the tax system would clearly be better without the 50p rate this was not the biggest challenge facing the tax system. It was probably not as damaging to entrepreneurship and enterprise as policies such as restricting visas for skilled migrants from outside the EU or clawing back personal allowances and pension tax relief. Further,

The love these men feel for their children is far stronger than any romantic connection they’ve made with those children’s mothers. So even though middle-class readers will be confused by some of the social mores in Doing the Best I Can—like the rampant unprotected sex and joy at news of unplanned pregnancies—the book depicts gender trouble that,if anything,could be spreading from the lower to the upper classes,along with the lack of good jobs and rise of economic inequality. This is the tale told by Hanna Rosin in The End of Men and Charles Murray in Coming Apart: responsible women and feckless men in the poor and working classes,while the well-educated rich enjoy,more and more,stable,egalitarian marriages.
She was indeed a "steadfast friend of Israel," having staked out an early position by criticizing the U.K.'s reluctance to ship weapons to Israel in its 1973 war against regional Arab powers.But remarking on Thatcher's steadfastness in her friendship toward the Jewish State highlights what has become an absurd debate in 21st century America about what it means to be a friend to Israel. Contra Israel's right-leaning supporters,being Israel's friend does not mean never criticizing Israel; it does not mean never trying to push Israel into policy changes that you think might be beneficial for the region,the world,and even the Jewish State itself; and it does not mean subverting one's own state interests to those of Israel,especially its right-wing government of the moment.

Which is exactly what Marco Rubio did last night.Best Moments From Obama’s 2013 State of the Union Address Time for Reform After a seemingly endless round of standing ovations,President Obama began his State of the Union address on a positive note. "After a decade of grinding war,our brave men and women in uniform are coming home. After years of grueling recession,our businesses have created over 6 million new jobs," he announced,applauding the housing,stock,and home markets for rebounding during tough economic times.
