...groups with names like the Spoilers play. Luchina has tried hard to make Gordon's look straight from the Highlands. Barmen wear kilts, a set of bagpipes adorns the bar, and the walls are covered with posters of haggis, Scottish flags, watercolors of Edinburgh Castle and the pub's fake Scottish crest. One of the most fun touches is a Lenin statue wearing a tartan beret. Shipping beer the 4,000 km from Scotland has proved too much of a challenge, though, so the ale is mostly Russian, German and, yes, Irish. But there are Scotch whisky brands aplenty...
...thriller. "I regard myself as a social filmmaker, not a political filmmaker," he says. "But every social film, at its base, comes into contact with political issues. Because every social problem is clearly due to some political mistake." Panahi was denied a license to shoot Offside, so, using a fake name, he submitted a phony synopsis about a group of boys attending a football game and got the Ministry's approval. Without the equipment or funding that the government hands out to other directors, he shot with a digital camera and small crew. Five days before the shoot was finished...
...seriously, how does an actor escape being buried alive? Grammer's non-Frasier forays to date have ranged from the unspectacular (Down Periscope) to--well, his Macbeth on Broadway closed after 10 performances.

This summer he becomes Beast, a hairy, brainy, inwardly tortured mutant scientist in X-Men: The Last Stand. To borrow Beast's signature exclamation: Oh, my stars and garters...
...results for SPOT have been encouraging. According to Naccara, the SPOT program has resulted in the arrest of more than 50 people for having fake IDs, entering the country illegally or drug possession. It also has caught one of its own: several months ago a representative from the Department of Homeland Security tested the system by trying to get a fake weapon through the screening checkpoint; he was successfully stopped by a STOP screener. The TSA will also consider deploying SPOT teams to other transportation systems like train and bus stations...
...taking time off from school, Cornell pushes a hundred or so of its students each year to take a voluntary medical leave that allows them not only to get help but also to de-stress. In Giedinghagen's case, it didn't take long for her to realize her fake-it-till-you-make-it strategy wasn't working. By April, she says, "the stress was so bad that I knew if I stayed at Cornell one more week, I would kill myself." After lengthy discussions with her therapists, the double major in German and neurobiology agreed to head home...
