...Love You, Man adheres to the current R-rated farce structure and strictures: it's got fart jokes, a couple of fist fights and a scene of turbo-puke of an intensity not seen since Linda Blair went all demonic in The Exorcist. Its agenda is that Peter can't be a man until he has a soul-dude. But this is essentially a comedy of social embarrassment; the laughs come at the expense of Rudd and any male who squeamishly sees some of himself in Peter. Rudd's performance is an acutely off-key symphony of lame rejoinders, wildly...
...Bush will have a writing companion in his wife, Laura, who in January signed a multimillion-dollar contract to write her own memoir. But they'll have to pedal hard to catch up with the literary achievements of the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

The President picked up $2.5 million in royalties last year for his memoir Dreams from My Father (139 weeks and counting on the New York Times paperback nonfiction list) and The Audacity of Hope (64 weeks on the same...

...money available for budgeting does not experience wild fluctuations from year to year. The University generally targets a 5 to 5.5 percent endowment payout rate, but the payout rate has not exceeded that level since 2004, due to above-average endowment growth in a booming economy. In the current financial climate, maintaining even flat spending from the endowment would require taking out an unusually large chunk of the endowment, calculated to be over 6 percent, the highest rate in over 20 years. Due to economic uncertainty, the Corporation had elected not to determine an endowment payout rate last fall, leaving...
...current moment, the energy here can only be described as tepid, at best. FlyBy wants to give first shotouts to Dunster, Mather, and Eliot for currently having the biggest representation. Other houses here include Pfoho and Currier. FlyBy gives a hearty boo to all you houses who are MIA: Leverett, Kirkland, Quincy, Adams, Cabot, Lowell, and Winthrop. WHERE YOU AT??? At any rate, hopefully we'll find some humor today, though I doubt we'll top probably the finest of housing day moments...
