His scene ended up getting cut from the film in the end, but he is hoping that the scene might be an extra in the DVDrelease.

“Turn off your computer,” he told the Class of 2009. “You’re actually going to have to turn off your phone and discover all that is human around us. Nothing beats holding the hand of your grandchild as he walks his first steps.”

Greg Mankiw, a conservative blogger and Harvard economist, says Supreme Court Nominee Sonia Sotomayor makes a big income but saves too little. Nate Silver demonstrates that Mankiw is both wrong and hypocritical.

It sounds mostly con to me: “Twitter can be distracting...For people actually there, they maybe spend more time with their computer or phone than talking to people.”

"There’s sort of an if-you-can’t-beat-join-them mindset driving Republicans' increased outreach to the site..."

McClatchy round up of Dick Cheney’s footloose dance with a funny little thing called truth...

"I interviewed Mike Rogers a few days after a D.C. journalist, NewsChannel 8 anchor Doug McKelway, threatened on live TV to 'take [Rogers] outside and give [him] a punch across the face.' Seems he wasn’t a fan of Rogers’ work. (See the video above at about 2:45.) Neither McKelway nor his parent company, Allbritton Communications, has apologized for his threat."

From the story: Sheila Muhs — whose home is fronted by a sign warning: “Trespassers will be shot. Survivers will be reshot!! Smile I will” — had called 911. Bishop said the woman told a dispatcher: “They’re running over our levee in big-wheel vehicles, and I shot them.” Officials have not released the 911 tape.

My TMV links to all of the resources. From a presenter: "Dissagregation - David Wiley broke education into these components, 1) content provisioning, 2) research - conducted, archived, and disseminated, 3) help provided to a student with a question on the content, 4) a social life, and 5) issuing credentials."

The death of the early gay porno empire. Run by a straight man. "Today, Mavety Media Group pulled the buttplug on all of their gay magazines—charmingly referred to as "sophisticates" in old-school publishing parlance. Puns aside, I wonder if people will notice what a major development this is in publishing, in gay history and in the porn industry....Mr. Mavety's earliest publications mixed arts and entertainment (sometimes ridiculously) with nude photography (some of it ridiculous in its own right), but over time that gave way to most pornographic nudes peppered with "socially redeeming" articles to avoid obscenity prosecutions (they were only briefly hardcore) and finally to pure, 100% bare-naked men."

Gay Republican split neatly echoes that of the straight GOP.

As [college news]papers have begun digitizing their back issues, their Web sites have become the latest front in the battle over online identities. Youthful activities that once would have disappeared into the recesses of a campus library are now preserved on the public record, to be viewed with skeptical eyes by an adult world of colleagues and potential employers. Alumni now in that world are contacting newspapers with requests for redaction. For unlike Facebook profiles — that other notable source of young-adult embarrassment — the ability to remove or edit questionable content in these cases is out of the author's hands.
-
Asylum films released the trailer for its new "mockbuster" this week: "Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus." The low-budget brand that has released dozens of straight-to-video movies is best known for making films that are sort of like big studio pictures, but stranger.
-
Very effectively skewers NPR for removing the names of Florida Gov. Charlie Crist and former Senator Larry Craig from a review of the movie OUTRAGE.
-
"At the end point of the [10 year] AFT study, tenured and tenure-track faculty members do not make a majority of faculties in any sector."
-
Baseless. Ridiculous. "One community college is fighting to prevent students and faculty members from using its name in their private e-mail addresses or domain names." Santa Rosa, CA. "The college quickly backpeddled."

" The appearance at Herbst was a different venue for Fox, who has talked lately with Katie Couric, Jon Stewart and Jimmy Kimmel. This time he took the stage for the first time with the other Michael in his life, his wife Tracy Pollan's brother, the writer Michael Pollan."

Bob pooh-poohs Hulu. And praises Apple.

An investigation into the substantial campaign contributions flowing to Texas Gov. Rick Perry from those he has appointed to state boards, many of them dealing with higher education. In a number of cases, the newspaper found donations flowing to the governor in the weeks before or after appointments were announced to prestigious board positions. Governor Perry has accepted nearly $5 million in donations from those he has appointed to state boards, and nearly half of the total involves higher education boards, the analysis found. More than $840,000 came from appointees to University of Texas positions.

"...the absolute best case is that Joe Biden did something that's so effective that he looks really stupid. If people actually reduce social contact and cut down on air travel and stay home in response to a single cough, then it's much likelier that swine flu will quickly die out. If it does, we'll all feel a bit foolish over having taken those precautions and late night comics will make fun of Joe Biden and everyone will move on. If we don't, and R jumps up, then we could be dealing with a full blown pandemic and Biden's warning will come to be seen as, if anything, insufficiently alarmist."

Includes link to study: "About two million more young people voted for president last November 4 than in the 2004 election, raising the percentage of people under the age of 30 who voted to 51 percent, according to a new report by the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement."

"A session here at the annual meeting of Internet2, a college high-speed networking group, focused on what it called “the Obama effect” on campus networks. On January 20, the day President Obama was sworn in amid record-setting crowds and an onslaught of media coverage, Internet use on campus networks spiked to record levels as people on campuses watched video of the speech on their computers or sent Facebook updates about the event, according to a college officials who spoke at the session."
