  • Scott Weinberg Interviews Geoffrey Fieger
    SCOTT WEINBERG INTERVIEWS GEOFFREY FIEGER On the eve of the release of You Don’t Know Jack, Fieger talks about controversy, the Hurt Locker and civil rights on CBS radio’s Weinberg on the Law. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 23, 2010 CONTACT: Lynne Schreiber (248) 376-0406, [email protected] FRANKLIN, Mich. – Just days before the Barry Levinson movie “You Don’t Know Jack” debuts on HBO (April 24th at 9 p.m. and April 25th at 2:45 a.m.), nationally known attorney Geoffrey Fieger spoke with Scott Weinberg on the CBS Radio Sunday morning legal show, Weinberg on the Law. “I advise all young lawyers that if their desire in life is to make a lot of money, then they’re in the wrong profession,” said Fieger last Sunday. “They won’t be happy. And that’s true of any profession. It wouldn’t hurt young lawyers to go work in public defender’s offices or to take criminal appointments.” “It doesn’t matter what you earn when you come out of college,” said Weinberg. “It’s the experience you get “If you love what you do, you’ll be successful,” says Fieger. “If you don’t love what you do then you shouldn’t be doing it.” The interview aired on Sunday, April 18th, on Detroit’s WXYT AM 1270. (The mp3 is available upon request.) “It was an honor and privilege to connect with one of our nation’s greatest lawyers,” says Weinberg. “And we are so lucky to have Fieger Law in our own backyard.

  • Bob Mould - DVD Published by Thepsychicpilot June 19Th, 2007 in Random
    Every Issue Presents Itself Page 1 of 9 Bob Mould - DVD Published by thepsychicpilot June 19th, 2007 in Random. 0 Comments I just came across this nice little clip of the forthcoming Bob Mould live DVD, Circle of Friends. It’s being released by Trixie DVD, who have also released the Burn to Shine series. Two years in the making, it features a show performed at the 9:30 Club in October 2005, during which Bob played songs spanning his entire career for the fist time in a solo setting with a full band. He was backed by Brendan Canty (Fugazi), Jason Narducy (Verbow, Robert Pollard) and Rich Morel (Bob’s partner in Blowoff). You can get some more details about the show and view the clip here. The clip features most of Sugar’s “A Good Idea” and the audio sounds incredible. Yet another October release I can’t wait for. Share This Turbo Boy Published by thepsychicpilot June 19th, 2007 in Random. 1 Comment Word came out this week that Robert Pollard will be releasing two (yes, two) new albums, Standard Gargoyle Decisions and Coast to Coast Carpet of Love on Merge in the traditional Bob/GbV release month of October (October 9th, to be exact). “We made the decision to break it down into two records, one being the pretty pop record and one being the abrasive punk record, although it’s got some pretty moments also. It’s almost like Guided By Voices; it’s the angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other.” http://thepsychicpilot.com/ 6/22/2007.

This report includes a brief narrative, a compilation of summary statistics, and an overview of the Court’s principal activities and programs in 2005. I would like to highlight two important accomplishments in 2005: • the August transition of entrance and perimeter security at Frank Murphy Hall of Justice from a private provider to the Wayne County Sheriff, and • the successful migration of guardianship cases to the Court’s new case management system. In the first instance, the presence of uniformed law enforcement officers has clearly created a more secure courthouse facility. In the second instance, the migration of guardianship cases represents an important first step in the multi-year project to convert the Court’s three legacy systems to a single state-of-the-art system by 2008.

  • HOPE VI Redevelopment of Westpark Evaluation
    HOPE VI Redevelopment of Westpark Evaluation: Year III Report Rachel Garshick Kleit, PhD and Lynne C. Manzo, PhD With: Colin-Morgan Cross Allison Stanko Robert Pollard Sara Green EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report summarizes results from the third year of a four-year evaluation of the redevelopment of the Westpark public housing community for the Bremerton Housing Authority (BHA). The evaluation project as a whole, based upon an evaluation plan that BHA approved in 2008, addresses the following five (5) questions: 1. What are the impacts of the HOPE VI redevelopment on the lives of Westpark residents? 2. To what extent has BHA achieved the goals identified in its revitalization plan and Community and Supportive Services (CSS) work plan? 3. To what extent has BHA achieved success in integrating the physical and social aspects of the HOPE VI revitalization strategy? 4. What kind of economic development is generated in the local community as a result of the HOPE VI effort? 5. What is the impact of the HOPE VI redevelopment on community revitalization in the Westpark neighborhood and the City of Bremerton? This report responds to the first, second, and third questions concerning the impact of redevelopment on the lives of original Westpark residents, the achievement of service goals identified in its Redevelopment and CSS Work Plans, and how far along BHA is in integrating the physical and social aspects the HOPE VI revitalization strategy. In order to address these questions, we focus this report on several more specific questions: In general,

    DVD Review - The Devil Went Home And Puked - LAist http://laist.com/2009/12/12/dvd_review_-_the_devil_went_home_an.php Client Server DVD Review - The Devil Went Home And Puked It might come as a surprise that former Guided By Voices guru, Robert Pollard, has quietly amassed the best post-GBV year of his career. Never one to sacrifice quantity for quality, 2009 saw the 51-year-old put out no less than six proper albums - most of which were quite good. In fact, three of these records are gonna make my year-end Top Ten List. Cementing ’09 as a high-water-mark in a career full of ‘em, Uncle Bob closed out the year with a smattering of vault releases - a live Boston Spaceships “bootleg”, a Circus Devils greatest hits, a four disc/100 song box of unreleased GBV tracks, and a career-spanning DVD “The Devil Went Home and Puked”. A “video collage” culled from Pollard’s archives, Puked is a dizzying mish-mesh of snippets - a few seconds of live footage here, old newscasts, drunk people acting drunk. It’s an artsy pastiche as lo-fi as anything the band has produced, and certainly, not for the uninitiated. For the converted, Puked is sort of hilarious, sort of intriguing, sort of frustrating, and definitely entertaining. The too short clips had me salivating for the unedited footage. At 60-something ADD minutes with nary a hint at narrative or context, it’s not a treasure trove, so much as a peek at the treasure trove that probably exists in some dusty box in its creator’s basement.
