Speaking of books ... Yesterday, Yale University Press sent word that Bonnie Pitman's Ignite the Power of Art Advancing Visitor Engagement in Museums is now available at Your Finer Booksellers. (Well ... it's supposed to be -- the Borders and Barnes & Noble in Preston Royal, at least, don't yet...

Prior to the beginning of baseball's winter meetings yesterday at Walt Disney World Resort, a flurry of activity resulted in big-name players dealt and fat contracts inked. Predictably, Derek Jeter (three years, $51 million) and Mariano Rivera (two years, $30 million) returned to the Bronx, but not without painful negotiations...
Moments ago, the Department of Justice announced that an investigation by the FBI's Dallas Joint Terrorism Task Force has led to the arrest of 20-year-old Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari, who was born in Saudi Arabia but came to the United States in 2008 on a student visa so he could attend...

You Can Learn a Lot from Bears
From John Kramer at the Institute for Justice -- and it's funny, I was just staring down the barrel of my "Litigating for Liberty" hip flask -- comes the story of Dallas tech entrepreneur Thane Hayhurst, the "entrepreneurially driven David," and his battle against heavy-handed innovation-stifling regulations from the "government...
Soviet frontman John Spies knows that his band's music might sound a little familiar. But there's reason for that, the 21-year-old explains: The band got its started when he and his drummer, the 20-year-old Andrew Weir, plugged in their equipment and began "copying Japandroids songs and fucking them up."That was...

The Gromer Jeffers story in The Dallas Morning News Saturday reporting that Tom Leppert now opposes federal earmark money for the Trinity River project put me in mind of an old newspaper friend. He had struggled mightily with temptation during his younger married years. I should say, he struggled mightily...
Remember when that L.A. auction house auctioned off the pine box in which Lee Harvey Oswald was buried on November 25, 1963, at the Shannon Rose Hill Funeral Chapel & Cemetery in Fort Worth? Man, seems like only six weeks ago. Since then, of course, the coffin sold -- for...
We've already made a couple mentions of tonight's impressive bill at The Loft, which finds two experimental acts on vastly different ends of the spectrum sharing a bill, simply due to the convenient fact that they both happen to be in town on the same night -- this isn't a...
I'll leave it to Schutze, who's covered this subject at great length, to explain precisely how Larry and Ted Hamilton wound up including more affordable-housing units in their Atmos Complex project downtown. Perhaps Jim will do so as early as tomorrow morning, when, I see here, the Downtown Connection Tax...
A medical emergency this morning at a judging session for the Fiery Food Challenge, the spicy food contest held in conjunction with ZestFest, served as a visceral reminder of how much heat capsaicin extract packs -- and raised questions about whether the chemical should be allowed in competition. The owner...
Last year, the question most often asked of Dallas International Film Festival artistic director James Faust was, "What's this year's The Hurt Locker?"—a reference, of course, to Kathryn Bigalow's wrenching Iraq bomb-squad nail-biter that had one of its earliest screenings at the 2009 fest then called the AFI Dallas International...

Well, all right! Tonight's the night: We're finally starting to feel the effects of Super Bowl XLV in tonight's goings-on in the form of two pretty major concerts. But for those local die-hards hoping to avoid the madness, there are still some other fine options. Just be sure to be...

DPD’s New Year By the Numbers
Following the mayoral forum held last night at Methodist Hospital's Hitt Auditorium, District 3 city council candidate Scott Griggs and incumbent Dave Neumann took their turn to disagree on several issues -- including gas drilling, that Walmart, affordable housing at Cliff Manor and the Trinity River toll road. Griggs quoted...
Walk under a ladder. Get yourself pictured on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Or, to ensure bad luck, crappy karma and repugnant results, just get on my pissy side. Turns out my hater hex really, really works. It started a couple years ago when I—like most sports fans in Dallas—tired...

Theatre Three's downstairs dungeon Theatre Too is exactly the right space in which to stage Christopher Durang's semi-absurd political satire Why Torture Is Wrong, and the People Who Love Them. In the play's disturbing, dystopian world, the only safe place to be is a windowless bunker safely out of the...
My, my, but the county's come a long way. Used to be, way back when, us media folks just got occasional updates as precincts' results came in. No more: Now, as evidenced by the Craig Watkins-Danny Clancy count that just came in with 24 out of 737 precincts reporting, those...
Check me on this. Dallas Area Rapid Transit, the outfit that runs the trains, didn't know how to keep their trains running in an ice storm. The same kind of trains operate in winter weather cities all over the world. There's a way to keep them running in an ice...
On a Wednesday morning in late March, Joey Dauben and his team are gathered at his little blue-trimmed cottage in Palmer, the town where Dauben is running for mayor. The election is about six weeks away, and they're supposed to be gearing up for the first day of door-to-door campaigning...
