Lupe Fiasco “Kick Push” Dir. Christopher Adams and Hannah McDowell Skateboarding is cool. It has always been, and will always be—at least until the “Back to the Future” hover-scooters go on sale at Target. So Lupe Fiasco’s “Kick Push,” an ode to the essential motions of the sport, already has the chips stacked in its favor. Fiasco starts the video, as all must, with a shout-out to his homies, but what follows isn?...
...Presidents have long turned to the staff shakeup or cabinet shuffle as a way of digging out of trouble. And George W. Bush is in trouble - his polls continue to hover in the mid-30s (although that's not bad compared to the GOP-controlled Congress, which, in one poll released this week, has sunk to a 23% approval rating.) After his famed "malaise" speech in 1979, in which he said the country was going through a "crisis of confidence," President Jimmy Carter offed his secretaries of Treasury and Health Education and Welfare.

The shadows and memories of the dead hover close over the show, as the rubout fallout from the whackings of Adriana (Drea de Matteo) and Tony B. (Steve Buscemi) continues, not to mention Tony's continuing baggage inherited from his late mother Livia. There's a general sense, in this last season, of a deathbed taking-stock, even...
...offered again next fall.The instructors also hope to be better prepared for high course enrollment. The course planners had anticipated that between 350 and 500 students would enroll, resulting in about 10 students per section. Because a total of 467 students are taking the class, section sizes this fall hover around 12. More students than expected signed up for the class after shopping period, and few students dropped the course.“It is tempting to speculate that the fairly steady enrollment in the course may reflect its ability to spark the curiosity and maintain the interest...
