...landings are part of a recent spike in illegal immigration by sea to the San Diego area. In the past five months, federal agents with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have intercepted 14 boats and made 122 arrests. This year they are on pace to double their record arrest total for 2008. On March 19, a fishing boat was intercepted 33 miles (53 km) off the coast; 21 illegal immigrants were aboard, including a pregnant woman. The jump in sea crossings is mostly due to a clampdown at the land border between Tijuana and San Diego, which has become...
...recent Sunday, Keley Hill piloted a 39-ft. (12 m) Midnight Express powerboat near the border. The boat sloshed in the 4-ft. (1.2 m) chop, running lights out to avoid detection. Supervisory agent Mark White stood on the bow, peering through night-vision goggles that revealed an empty sea clear out to Coronado island, 8 miles (13 km) away.

He's not a man's man, a guy's guy, he's a woman's man, and the suggestion...
...really. I have very few regrets. This part in Duplicity would have hurt if I hadn't gotten it. I finished the script, called up the agent and said, "This is the one." If someone else had ended up doing it, that would have hurt. I just thought it was incredibly smart and savvy, and it has some of the best dialogue I've ever been given on film...
...lackluster ticket sales, resulted in a 30% staff cut. Club Passim, nestled between Church and Brattle Streets, has been in existence under various guises since it first opened as the jazz venue Club 47 more than five decades ago. Matt Smith, Passim’s manager and booking agent, said that he did not foresee alcohol affecting Passim’s culture. “We’re just providing something else for customers and giving them an option that they didn’t have before,” he said. Smith said that Passim?...
