It’s that time again: previews for the 2011-2011 tv season.  Check out James Poniewozik’s post at Time.com about NBC previews, which, after checking them on-line at nbc.com, strangely intrigue me.  But, that’s the trouble of previews – they’re just previews. Poniewozik’s analysis of NBC’s previews also hits on some of my concerns (besides the whole [...]

From NAPABA: call to urge the Senate to confirm Goodwin Liu for the 9th Circuit. From AABANY: an article by current AABANY President Linda Lin in the NY Law Journal on the APA experience. Some items from NY1 about the growth of APA’s in the five boros: diverse APA groups in Queens and Chinese in [...]

A charming interview on NPR’s Morning Edition with Dick Van Dyke. A hat tip from a friend of mine on Facebook (NS) lead this link to CNN about lawyers who meditate, to balance the work-life stress.  The article, by Amanda Enayati, states that US Supreme Court Justice Breyer told Oprah that he wasn’t really a [...]

Couldn’t make the 32nd AAPI Heritage Festival at Union Square this past Sunday because I foolishly re-injured my knee.  But, I expect to see pictures…! Hat tip to Angry Asian Man blog: the US Senate has confirmed Edward Chen, US magistrate judge, to be US federal district court judge for Northern District of California. As [...]

Interesting post from NPR on the subject of the end of Bin Laden from a religious perspective (highlighting the Dalai Lama’s thoughts and the statement from the Vatican). Not forgetting and searching for peace – not easy stuff. No surprise that there are no easy answers. Interesting interview with the author/journalist Janny Scott on NPR’s [...]

President Obama: Finally, let me say to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11 that we have never forgotten your loss, nor wavered in our commitment to see that we do whatever it takes to prevent another attack on our shores. And tonight, let us think back to the sense of unity that prevailed [...]

FC’s photos (here’s one; just scroll down for more) from the Bahamas makes me want my own nice long vacation… “Fringe” is one nutty odd show.   Check out the recap of the latest episode from Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly. If the season finale ends on another cliffhanger – yeesh.  It’ll be a long summer, [...]

Other items: The latest episode of “Fringe” – that was nuts. Basically, Walter, Peter, and a certain William Bell make a trip into Olivia’s brain – and with more than a touch of “Inception,” evidently, Olivia’s brain ain’t a pretty place. Oh, and Walter, Peter, and Bell as cartoon animated versions of themselves was funny, [...]

Saw “American Idiot” on Friday night. Basically a Green Day opera. (see the review by NY Times’ Charles Isherwood). Johnny (played by Van Hughes) is a clueless young man in suburbia in the post 9/11 world. His friends, Will (played by Justin Guarini – yes, that Justin Guarini of American Idol fame) and Tunny (played [...]

Supposedly, it’s spring. Thanks to the annual NCAA Men’s Basketball March Madness, my brackets are completely a mess. Pittsburgh’s out, as are much of the Big East. Me and my Big East sentiments. And, I didn’t pick Princeton, but I did kind of rooted for them (had to support the Ivy League); then again, who [...]
