...Andrew Hargreaves, an analyst at Pacific Crest Securities. According to the Consumer Electronics Association, 80% of adults say they intend to purchase technology as a gift this year, the highest figure in the 16 years the organization has tracked holiday shopping patterns. On Monday, Dec. 13, Citigroup analyst Kate McShane raised her price target for Best Buy, the country's dominant electronics retailer, from $40 to $45 per share. "We are seeing stronger traffic at [Best Buy] in its laptop, Geek Squad and video-game sections, while traffic remains healthy in TVs and digital cameras," she wrote in a research...
...falls in love with the local duo of car wash clowns, who make “asses” of themselves while under the influence of Wheelgood’s special concoction. Similarly love-poisoned are Dmitri (Lucille Duncan) and Sander (Rebecca Whitehurst), who both fall for Helen (Erin McShane), leaving Sander’s lover Mia (Gordon) all alone. Bestiality, chaos, and disco music ensue. However, the plot is secondary to the primary goal of Paulus’ new approach to theater at the A.R.T.: experience. “I’m interested in how we can really...
...nation of Gilboa, led by King Silas Benjamin (Ian McShane) - based on the Bible's Saul - has been at war for generations, most recently with neighboring Gath.

David is called to court in the gleaming new capital, Shiloh, where the cunning Silas parades him as a hero and eyes him as a potential rival...
...Kings is a bizarre, disorienting hybrid of a show. For starters, there's the language, half-contemporary, half-archaic: "We sign our names, we shake hands, and future ghosts know us for our contributions, not our wars," says Silas at a treaty negotiation. Kings is lucky to have McShane, who, as a philosophical criminal in Deadwood, effortlessly breathed out David Milch's mix of obscenity, frontier talk and Shakespeare. Here, leonine, menacing and thoughtful, he makes Kings' quasi-biblical declamations seem natural - as well as the idea that a First World Western country would be run by a tyrant...
...easy to overlook these faults - and Kings' taste for melodramatic cheese, slathered with an overheated operatic score - when McShane is onstage. But Egan's David is an upstanding stiff, and when Egan gets a McShanian monologue at the end of the two-hour pilot, he sounds ridiculous. The subplots involving Jack and Gilboa's gilded nightlife play like a bad marriage of The Tudors and Gossip Girl...
