		The story became more and more prominent until about a week after New Years, when the band was asked to take a photo in front of City Hall for the front page of the Toronto Star.
		The stories eroneously targeted Rowlands, even though she had not even been in town when the decision was made.
		They turned out to be right, as the 1998 release Stunt became (and remains) their greatest success, buoyed by "One Week", which coincidentally spent "one week" at the number one spot on the storied Billboard Hot 100.

		As weblogs start to break stories and deliver analysis from industry insiders, they're coming up against many of the same conflicts that Journalists addressed years ago with their famous Code of Ethics.
		Schools know that interest cannot be generated overnight, so despite the fact that you may not be thinking all that much about college as a junior, colleges and universities want to strike early to plant a seed for later on.

		It was a two-and-a-half story frame house, kept painted immaculate white with green blinds, and the ample ground adjoining was planted with park-like bloom.
		John was not as broad-visioned in public affairs as Adam, but he was a man of many practical charities and he took a particular interest in the instruction of the masses.
		The gradual subsidence of public interest in the character of athletics of which the Turners were exponents, and the partial diversion of social functions to other halls are matters of easy recollection and need not be dwelled upon here.

	Iraq War Debate Eclipses All Other Issues
		Political stunts by both parties have created an air of acrimony that is infecting the parties' entire agendas.
		Political developments in Iraq, such as the adoption of a new constitution, cannot overcome the impression left by the daily reports of suicide bombers and the milestone of 2,000 deaths among U.S. servicemen, pollsters and political analysts say.
		Public opinion has, in turn, emboldened Democrats to sharpen their attacks, and it has freed some Republicans -- especially Northeastern moderates -- to chart a new political course that separates them from the White House but wreaks havoc with the GOP's legislative agenda.

	Review \| Barenaked Ladies: Public Stunts, Private Stories by Paul Myers
		While rock biographies are about as difficult to find as eggs in a hen house and rock biographers are so common they are perhaps now cloned in vats at MIT, few authors have the creds of Paul Myers for doing a biography of The Barenaked Ladies.
		In Barenaked Ladies: Public Stunts, Private Stories, Myers writes that back in 1990, The Gravelberrys "were booked into a cozy little club called Ultrasound Showbar on Queen Street West.
		Stunt was the title of BNL's 1998 album: the album that really saw the band leap onto international radar and, not surprisingly, in 1999 several books were written about the group.

	Barenaked Ladies
		Seemingly out of left field, Stunt (Jul 1998) became a top-10 album in the US on the heels of the number one Billboard single "One Week" (which was later nominated for a Grammy Award).
		Stunt sold 4 million copies in North America, and BNL played to its biggest-ever audiences while performing with Blues Traveler and Ben Harper on the US HORDE festival tour.
		Missing from the line-up following the Stunt recording sessions was Hearn, who had been diagnosed with leukemia and was to spend two years in a successful battle against cancer.

	Cunning Stunts
		The editor certainly expected a good story, but the book was sold to the comics reading public primarily on the strength of its stunt casting.
		The readership will forgive stunts because, at their heart, the readers understand, (whether they admit it or not) that the company is there to make money.

		The first story is to be about a portable house and a young married couple, which certainly does sound like a jazzy combination for comedy.
		It is simple, but there is nothing that requires more knowledge and has a greater number of rules or technical stunts than comedy slapstick or the other kind." Born and reared in his work, Buster Keaton gives you the impression of knowing it thoroughly from the ground up.
		The theory is that she was enraged when she saw Miss Normand come out of the house, waited nearby until the moment when the director took his fair visitor to the automobile and then slipped into the house through the open door.

		Her diary passed into private hands after her death in 1727, and was not discovered again until 1825, when it was published as The Journal of Madame Knight by Theodore Dwight Junior.
		He was also known as "the screen's most daring comedian" because he performed all his own stunts, including his most famous one in the 1923 film Safety Last, which required him to climb up the face of a fourteen-story building and dangle from the hands of a giant clock.
		They were diaries and reflections he wrote every day, and were not meant for publication, but were his own personal insights into the stresses of ruler-ship and of everyday life, and fears about his own personal inadequacies.

		Stories like “The Summer of the Beautiful White Horse,” “The Pomegranate Trees,” and “The Journey to Hanford,” just to name three, are refreshing for their innocence, and are a beautiful reminder of what life was like before television.
		The story centers on Homer Macauley, a fourteen-year-old boy determined to be the fastest bicycle messenger in the San Joaquin Valley, and his widowed mother, his sister, Bess, and his little brother, Ulysses.
		His stories evidence the veracity of that statement, which on the one hand was designed to shock his readers — and indeed still does — while on the other hand, indicated how close he was stylistically to the better painters of his time and to the natural scientists.

	About journalism -- A large and irreverent collection of quotes
		Scan any newspaper for stories about, say, the environment, and you will quickly discover that many journalists are predisposed to consider environmental activists the "good guys" and oil company presidents and loggers the "bad guys." Or watch all the junk science television news specials about pesticides, food additives, breast implants, nuclear power, and global warming.
		Hirschfield said stories in his new paper wouldn't be changed by editors, who would simply decide which ones to print and then write headlines for them.
		Their appearance on television, at press conferences, in parliament, and at public hearings is hardly suitable for drama beyond that of the advertisement, while the consequences of their actions surpass the scope of the drama.

	Court sets release of Ryan's divorce file - Orlando Sentinel :
		Ruling on a request brought by attorneys for the Tribune and WLS-TV, Superior Court Judge Robert Schnider acknowledged that the resulting publicity from the disclosure would be harmful to the couple's son, a key argument Ryan had raised in seeking to keep the documents from public view.
		But Schnider said he had weighed the public interest of disclosure against the private interests of the Ryans and their child.
		Schnider ruled that allegations the Ryans made against each other in their 1999 divorce would be released, though documents directly pertaining to the welfare of the couple's 9-year-old son would remain under seal.

	Barenaked Ladies : Public Stunts, Private Stories \| Classical Music Online
		It's well worth the cost and read for any Barenaked Ladies fan, but prepare yourself for backseat reading as the story is mainly of Paul's experience with the band rather than the band's story.
		The first half (up to Stunt) is great, but the second half is a bit thin.
		Public Stunts, Private Stories (which was originally sold directly to fans at BNL concerts) would be an incredible biography if it weren't for the author's incessant, excessive need to insert himself into the proceedings.

	The Tribune, Chandigarh, India - Chandigarh Stories
		With the new academic session beginning in city schools from next month, once again students of private schools are being forced to pay almost twice for school books than their counterparts in government schools, thanks to a well-heeled nexus between booksellers and the school authorities concerned.
		Inquiries with some students promoted to higher classes in a number of public schools reveal that as a sacred practice they are asked to purchase books from a particular shop after they are given a list of books of particular publishers.
		What began as a minor incident involving two local private schools refusing admission to the wards of a VVIP last year, is threatening to snowball into a major confrontation between the UT Administration and some of the top city-based private schools of the region.

		As the only decent BNL book out there, Public Stunts, Private Stories is #1 in a field of one.
		I know there are some stories to tell, because I've read some of them in interviews with the band.

		Upon purchasing it, I was hoping for a roller coaster of a story with TONS of funny parts & stories about a band I knew almost NOTHING about.
		Even more-so annoying was that I knew of none of the songs they were talking about in the quotes or when describing recording sessions.
		The story of BNL was well documented with quite funny commentary, but the main problem was it began to get sadly kinda boring towards the end...a problem that really couldn't be helped since BNL are now doing well with less drama, lol.

		The passion with which he speaks of the golden age stunts would leave one to believe that he will try to do as much in camera as possible, en still look at the man's work with CG in the past.
		And not all stunts can be performed by stunt men (look to TEMPLE OF DOOM for stop-motion puppets and full scale mechanized dummies).
		I realize that Hollywood stunts are carefully planned etc, but there is always a risk (whitness Twilight Zone, Blues Brothers 2000 etc.) I love the old stunts, but I don't know if the risk is worth it.

		To encourage private finance in infrastructure upgrades, Maisto said, President Bush’s proposed Infrastructure Facility of the Americas would rate project proposals from private and public sponsors based on rigorous feasibility analysis. “The ratings would give private investors an objective basis for assessing projects, and create opportunities for public/private partnerships," the ambassador explained.

In Latin America and the Caribbean in particular, 58 percent of firms reported access to electricity, telecommunications, or transportation as "major" or "severe" obstacles to the operation and growth of their business.
