“Fox & Friends” celebrated stoner holiday 4/20 by informing their viewers what forms of marijuana can get them “blasted and blitzed in a hurry.” While the Fox News show was, of course, trying to condemn the drug, cannabis users might have gotten excited at the prospect of the “new form of crossbred marijuana” called “skunk” that Dr. David Murray — former head of the Hudson Institute’s substance abuse policy — explained is “more powerful, more potent” with 20 to 30 percent Thc levels. “That contrasts with the marijuana of the ‘Cheech and Chong’ days, when it was only 3 to 4 percent,” Murray said. “It’s...

It's 4/20, aka Hitler's birfday, the anniversary of Columbine, and, as Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade reminded everyone this morning, "National Marijuana Day." (If you're reading this on Tuesday, you spaced it.) To ring in Nmd, Kilmeade brought on the Hudson Institute's Dr. David Murray to warn against new forms of pot that are "more dangerous than you're being led to believe."...

Mike Ashley has a track record of rescuing “stuttering” brands: he swoops in, brings once proud companies on their knees under his Sports Direct banner and injects some life into them before reaping the financial benefits. His latest endeavour is on a whole other scale to Lonsdale and Slazenger, as he’s been cast as the most unlikely (and in the fans’ eyes unwelcome) rescue party leader at Rangers, seemingly saving them from impending financial doom just as they’re hours away from running out of money.
The PR behind that move will say that Ashley wants to put the club back on their feet: that his £2m loan is a statement of intent to do good for the club and the team, when in all honesty, it’s a piffling amount for a billionaire, and won’t save Rangers from anything other than their latest round of bills.

American composer who created 'conduction', a fusion of conducting and improvisation
The globetrotting projects of the American composer Lawrence "Butch" Morris, who has died of cancer aged 65, drew on the talents of players from many backgrounds, including Us and European jazz, Turkish sufi music, Japanese kabuki theatre, and classical music, dance and poetry. Morris described his approach as "an improvised duet for ensemble and conductor". Although he steered these encounters with a baton, his sign language was a homegrown technique he dubbed "conduction" – the definition of which has variously been given as a fusion of conducting and improvisation, and of combustion, ignition and propulsion. Morris staged more than 150 conductions (most of them simply entitled by their number in the sequence) in more than 20 countries in as many years.
His methods were a hybrid of conducting gestures borrowed from Horace Tapscott, Charles Moffett, Sun Ra, Lukas Foss and the electronics and computer composer Larry Austin.

With so many channels and series to choose from these days, there’s no shortage of evil characters you love to hate and hate to love on TV.
These characters are the targets of pranks, are the pranksters themselves and/or maintain a flaw that’s simultaneously endearing and irritating. It’s a delicate balance not every show — although many try — can pull off, but luckily, there are several on TV that I can’t wait to catch up with week after week.
While mass opinion may fluctuate regarding most of these characters, there’s something about each of them that makes tuning in simply fun.
Check out my top 10 characters I love to hate this season:
10. Jerry Gergich on NBC’s Parks and Recreation
Ok, so Jerry (Jim O’Heir) is the nicest guy ever, right? Right. But he gets picked on so much on Parks and Recreation,...

Unless by some bizarre turn of events in which Harrison Ford is summoned for the non-George Lucas Star Wars trilogy to play an older, slower Han Solo, it seems that the man will just have to find work elsewhere. And recent reports say he’s doing just that, having signed on to star in Ender’s Game, 42, Paranoia, and now alongside tween idol Zac Efron in Rob Reiner‘s upcoming Belong To.
Despite the fact that Harrison Ford was once the biggest actor of all-time and his movies would regularly bring in massive audience hauls, his career hasn’t exactly flourished over the course of this century.
It’s a shame, given his obvious appeal as three of the most iconic characters ever put to screen (Indiana Jones, Han Solo and Rick Deckard, of course). Many of his latest films have been genuine duds, most of which have just…...

The creepiest picture of Rob Reiner of all time brought to you by the news that he’ll be taking a break from romantic comedies and non-romantic comedies to make You Belong to Me – the ominously-titled thriller from writer David Murray. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the movie focuses on a psychiatrist who shares his own life with his patients. According to Reiner, the story involves “a deep psychological bent to it and a big twist in the end that [he] didn’t see coming.” It’s easy to forget that Reiner was the director who made Misery in 1990. Under the fluffy pile of When Harry Met Sally and Princess Bride, he knocked out one of the best Stephen King adaptations on the books. The point? He’s got cold blood somewhere in him, and it’s more than a little exciting to see him return to the genre. Maybe he can convince Kathy Bates to cameo.

Since recently putting his name to such feel-good schmaltz as “Flipped” and “The Bucket List,” it appears director Rob Reiner now craves a return to the darker films of his early career (“Ghosts of Mississippi,” “Misery”). He's just signed on to co-star as Leonardo DiCaprio's dad in Martin Scorsese's “Wolf of Wall Street,” making his first on-screen appearance since 2003's “Alex & Emma,” and has now announced he will direct a psychological thriller in the vein of “Cape Fear.”
THR reports Reiner is set to shoot “You Belong to Me,” which was written by David Murray, and follows a psychiatrist who professionally transgresses by talking about himself with a patient, and then deals with the dangerous consequences of that decision. Reiner recently expressed an admiration for the thriller genre, and cleared up reasons why he's stayed away from them for his past few films. “They are hard to make well,...

It sees a psychiatrist opening up to a patient with shocking, stalking-filled results.It’s a definite gearshift for Reiner who, though he’s delved into dramas and darker material in his career, hasn’t directed an out-and-out thriller since the days of Misery. “They are hard to make well, but this one has a deep psychological bent to it and a big twist in the end that I didn’t see coming,” he tells the Reporter.

According to Hollywood Reporter, Rob Reiner is returning to the director chair for You Belong To Me, a psychological thriller compared to Cape Fear. Reiner has made his name mostly with comedies and drama (The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men), but nevertheless made waves directing Misery in 1990. Now he’s back in the horror genre.
The project was written by David Murray. Reiner had this to say about the film: “They are hard to make well, but this one has a deep psychological bent to it and a big twist in the end that I didn’t see coming…That’s why I decided to take a whack at this one.”...

Rob Reiner hasn't directed a horror film since 1990's Misery, but that's about to change with You Belong to Me, which he just signed onto. The film, said to fall in the psychological thriller category with comparisons being made to Cape Fear, was written by David Murray.

Rob Reiner hasn’t made a thriller (or, arguably, thrilling movie) since 1994′s A Few Good Men — unless you, personally, want to make some (any) kind of case for Ghosts of Mississippi — and, since the latter, he’s dealt exclusively in the department of romantic comedies or nostalgia pieces. While that’s all well and good for his generally nonrestrictive, easy-going career, a change of pace and return to the Misery days is in store.
THR has learned that, on his next outing, Reiner will tackle a Cape Fear-like psychological piece titled You Belong to Me. Despite that quick comparison, however, he’s only doing this film because, in the director’s own words, “it’s hard to find a story that he hasn’t seen before.” What places this apart from the competition? Both “a deep psychological bent” and, of course, “a big twist” that snuck up and floored him,...

Wine-loving actor Sir Sean Connery refused to give up his favourite drink - even when doctors advised him to quit boozing.
The former James Bond star was warned to stop drinking alcohol after medics diagnosed a heart condition.
But he refused to give up red wine - because he is convinced it is good for his health.
He tells Wine Spectator magazine, "I do drink red wine because of my friend David Murray, who owns two French wine estates. He showed me the evidence that it was good for the health.
"I favour Merlots from Chile for their value and I keep a good deal of California wine in my cellar. I have one that cost me $2,000 for two cases, which I think is rather steep."...
