Movies - The Oscars postsWednesday February 18, 2009
Nat & Tim & Kris & Karina & Ed & Erik
I recently participated in a three-day symposium about the Oscars over at Nathaniel R's excellent Film Experience Blog. Make sure you check out the "chatty moviegoer" comments at the end, too. In some ways they're having a livelier discussion than we had in the symposium. Probably because they aren't saddled with the word "symposium."

Silver on Oscar Gold
One of the sites I turned to regularly, desperately, during the recent presidential campaign was Nate Silver's fivethirtyeight.com. In the run-up to the election, some friends felt that Silver leaned left too much, but, as it turned out, he didn't lean left enough. He predicted 338 electoral votes for Obama, who wound up with 365.
Silver started out as a stats-head for one of my loves, baseball, and now he's entering another: movies. Specifically: the Oscars. New York magazine asked for his predictions on the six major categories and he obliged:
Picture: Slumdog Millionaire (99% chance)
Director: Danny Boyle, SM (99.7%)
Actor: Mickey Rourke (71%)
Actress: Kate Winslet (67.6%)
Supporting Actor: Heath Ledger (85.8%)
Supporting Actress: Taraji P. Henson (51%)
For most of these, of course, you don't exactly need to build statistical software and use logistics regression. But his choice, or his software's choice, for supporting actress is intriguing. I read deeper but the rationale didn't make much sense:
Penélope Cruz, who won the BAFTA for her role in Vicky Cristina Barcelona, would seem the logical default. But computer sez: Benjamin Button's Taraji P. Henson! Button, which looks like a shutout everywhere else, is the only Best Picture nominee with a Supporting Actress nod, and Best Pic nominees tend to have an edge in the other categories.
Except we're not talking about the other categories, we're talking about this category. And in the last 10 years, say, how often has a supporting actress winner been the sole best-pic representative in her category? Once. Ten years ago, when Judi Dench won for "Shakespeare in Love" and none of the others had best-pic cred. And how often has the winner not come from a best-pic nominee when a best-pic representative was available? Five times: Angelina Jolie for "Girl, Interrupted" in 1999, Marcia Gay Harden for "Pollock" in 2000, Rene Zellwegger for "Cold Mountain" in 2003, Rachel Weisz for "The Constant Gardener" in 2005, and Jennifer Hudson for "Dreamgirls" in 2006.
So why is the best pic nomination for "Button" a trump card for Henson? I don't get it. If anything, this category has always read as the "babe" category:
1999: Angelina Jolie, "Girl, Interrupted"
2000: Marcia Gay Harden, "Pollock"
2001: Jennifer Connelly, "A Beautiful Mind"
2002: Catherine Zeta-Jones, "Chicago"
2003: Renee Zellwegger, "Cold Mountain"
2004: Cate Blanchett, "The Aviator"
2005: Rachel Weisz, "The Constant Gardener"
2006: Jennifer Hudson, "Dreamgirls"
2007: Tilda Swinton, "Michael Clayton"
The question for this category isn't "Who's in a best picture nominee?" but "Who do the mostly old, mostly male members of the Academy want to fuck this year?" Talent aside, that's why most of us are guessing Penelope Cruz.
Of course crunching fuckability into an algorithm may even be beyond the scope of the man who predicted such a sure victory for Obama.

The EW Fall Preview Issue: A Look Back
First, "Harry Potter" is on the cover, and of course that film got pushed ahead to a summer release date so no one's even seen it. Then, month to month, here's the big movies they target and anticipate:
- September: "Miracle at St. Anna"; "Burn After Reading"; "Appaloosa"
- October: "High School Musical 3"; "Body of Lies"; "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist"
- November: "Australia"; "The Road"; "The Soloist"
- December: "Revolutionary Road"; "Marley & Me"; "Doubt"
And what of the best picture nominees? "Milk" and "Button" and "Frost" get middling write-ups, while "The Reader" and front-runner "Slumdog" aren't mentioned at all. It took a second to remember that, oh yes, "Slumdog" had distribution difficulties. From the August 31st New York Times:
"Slumdog Millionaire" was originally a Warner Independent Pictures release, but last May, Warner Brothers closed its two independent divisions, PictureHouse and Warner Independent, in an effort to cut costs. Now the company will work with Fox Searchlight Pictures to distribute Mr. Boyle's film in North America. ... Jeff Robinov, president of Warner Brothers Pictures Group, said Warner was working with Fox Searchlight to release the film because of the studio's crowded calendar. "With the recent additions to our slate, it became impossible for us to release 'Slumdog Millionaire' in this calendar year," Mr. Robinov said. "Danny very much wanted to get it released this year," said Peter Rice, president of Fox Searchlight, "and we have a long relationship with him."It's easy to forget how quickly a non-entity can become an inevitability. And vice-versa.

And the Award for Least-Seen Best Picture Nominee Goes To...
As I mentioned earlier, only two best picture nominees since 1980 haven't wound up among the year's top 100 box-office hits — "The Dresser" in 1983 and "Letters from Iwo Jima" in 2006 — and yet we have three this year alone. Amazing. The sad part is they're not even great films. Maybe "Milk" but that's it. I mean if the Academy is going for quality over popularity, as David Carr suggests, why not choose quality? Instead of a bland mediocrity that pleases neither moviegoers nor critics.
"Milk," by the way, has the best shot of cracking the top 100. It's currently at no. 104, only $1 million behind no. 101, "Street Kings," a dirty-cop movie starring Keanu Reeves that opened in over 2,000 theaters in April. Yes, that sentence is sad in so many ways.

The Lundys: Best Reviews of Best Pics
No science in mine. Not a speck of it. Just reviews that confirmed or articulated what I felt was right or wrong about a movie. Mostly wrong, this year. Many people have said that 2008 was a pretty crappy year for movies, but, to me, it was really only an off-year for the prestige pictures. Overall, it was a great year. Just look at 2007. The big box-office pics were either lame threequels ("Spider-Man 3," "Pirates 3," "Shrek the Third") or noisy remakes ("Transformers"), while 2008 gave us, among the top five box-office hits, "Dark Knight," "Iron Man" and "WALL-E." Not bad.
From the winning reviews, you can probably guess which movie I'm rooting for on Oscar night. It has no shot but... Doesn't mean I'm not rooting.
Apologies, too, to all the critics whose reviews I missed. I'm not much of a surfer. I don't even have nominees for best reviews of best picture candidates. Only winners. Maybe next year.
OK, on with the countdown.
For best review of Stephen Daldry's "The Reader," the Lundy goes to... Joe Morgenstern of The Wall Street Journal! (Applause) Mr. Morgenstern wins the award even though, and this is extremely embarrassing, I haven't been able to read his entire review. (Thanks for nothing, WSJ.) After scanning the Rotten Tomatoes site, though, Mr. Morgenstern most exactly articulated the biggest problem with both movie and book:
The Reader remains schematic, and ultimately reductive. It really is about literacy, which proves to be a dismayingly small answer to the enormous questions posed by Hanna's dark past.I can talk more about this later, but: Yes. "The Reader" begins as a sexual coming-of-age film, veers into a Holocaust picture, and winds up as an "ABC Afterschool Special": Hanna Schmitz Learns to Read. With such a trajectory (which is more obvious in the book, since the movie includes Kate Winslet's great performance), it can't help but feel small and unworthy. Academy, I'm looking at you.
For best review of Ron Howard's "Frost/Nixon," the Lundy goes to... David Edelstein of New York Magazine! (Applause) I love in particular Mr. Edelstein's early slams of Nixon the man. Criticism is not for the impartial, political or otherwise, a fact that many editors at many newspapers — trying to hold onto every loudmouthed conservative subscriber — don't seem to understand. Edelstein also gets to the heart of what's weak with "F/N":
Frost/Nixon is unsatisfying even if, like me, you're a lifelong aficionado of Nixon-bashing. [Screenwriter Peter] Morgan makes him out to be a Great White Whale, but when he sat down with Frost, Nixon was already dead in the water—convicted by his own words in White House transcripts to the point where even his Republican allies had long deserted him. And with selective editing, Morgan makes it seem as if Frost got Nixon to admit more than he actually did. The original Watergate interview is now on DVD, and there are self-exculpatory escape clauses in every interminable, circumlocutory utterance. When Frost read aloud from the White House transcripts, Nixon's eyes darted around as he searched his brain for linguistic loopholes. In Frost/Nixon, Langella's heavy features move slowly; he seems to be plumbing the depths of his soul and glimpsing, for an instant, the abyss. Alas, the shit that dribbles from Langella's mouth is still Tricky Dick's.For David Fincher's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," the Lundy goes to... David Denby of The New Yorker! (Tepid applause. Some hoots.) Mr. Denby actually reviews, or takes apart, all of the Oscar candidates in his piece — save "Milk," which he roots for — and he's good on all of them. But particularly "Button":
As Benjamin makes his way, many people puzzle over the discrepancy between his age and his temperament. But who cares? The movie is given over to an infinitely patient and scrupulous working out of its own bizarre premise, and you come away from its sombre thoroughness with the impression that something profound has been said without having any idea what it could be.For Danny Boyle's "Slumdog Milionaire," the Lundy goes to... Manohla Dargis of The New York Times! (Hoots. Cries of a New York bias.) Ms. Dargis' reviewed the film when it was merely a film — one of many coming out that month — as opposed to the Oscar frontrunner for best picture, but, from that early, uncluttered vantage point, she still manages to articulate what is both appealing about the film, and, more importantly, what is false about it:
In the end, what gives me reluctant pause about this bright, cheery, hard-to-resist movie is that its joyfulness feels more like a filmmaker's calculation than an honest cry from the heart about the human spirit (or, better yet, a moral tale). In the past Mr. Boyle has managed to wring giggles out of murder ("Shallow Grave") and addiction ("Trainspotting"), and invest even the apocalypse with a certain joie de vivre (the excellent zombie flick "28 Days Later"). He's a blithely glib entertainer who can dazzle you with technique and, on occasion, blindside you with emotion, as he does in his underrated children's movie, "Millions." He plucked my heartstrings in "Slumdog Millionaire" with well-practiced dexterity, coaxing laughter and sobs out of each sweet, sour and false note.And finally, the last Lundy of the evening, for best review of Gus Van Sant's "Milk," goes to... Andrew Sullivan of The Atlantic! (tepid applause; shrugs; people grabbing their coats and leaving en masse) Mr. Sullivan is the only non-critic in the bunch, but his early take on "Milk," written from a more personal perspective, articulated something about the film I hadn't taken in. It opened the film for me. That's basically what you want from a critic:
Milk was a radical; but he was also a businessman. He had one true love; and yet couldn't integrate it into a successful long-term relationship in his short life-time. He was a man of the streets and yet he also had to become a symbol of establishment power. The scene when he both stokes a rally-cum-riot and then calms it down captured the tension perfectly. He was a man of politics, but he was also only a politician in order to have the chance to be a human.
The movie's brilliance is not that it begins and ends with his death as a reflection on the first and last things; it is that it begins and ends with Milk's love for another human being as well. This reach for intimacy - always vulnerable, always intimate, never safe - endures past movements and rallies and elections. These manifestations of the political are the means to that merely human end.
Which is why, in so many ways, the gay movement, at its very best, is something holy.That's it, folks. Thanks for coming. And keep reading the critics.

We spend 3 billion hours a week as a planet playing videogames. Is it worth it? How could it be MORE worth it?
Currently there are more than half a billion people worldwide playing computer and videogames at least an hour a day -- and 183 million in the U.S. alone. The younger you are, the more likely you are to be a gamer -- 99% of boys under 18 and 94% of girls under 18 report playing videogames regularly. The average young person racks up 10,000 hours of gaming by the age of 21 -- or 24 hours less than they spend in a classroom for all of middle and high school if they have perfect attendance. It's a remarkable amount of time we're investing in games. 5 million gamers in the U.S., in fact, are spending more than 40 hours a week playing games -- the equivalent of a full time job!
What accounts for the lure of games – and are we getting as much from our games as we're giving them?
I explore these questions in my new book Reality is Broken – and I believe that, for most gamers, playing games is, surprisingly not a waste of time -- but rather quite productive. Gameplay may not contribute to the Gross Domestic Product… but scientific research shows that gameplay does contribute to our quality of life, by producing positive emotions (such as optimism, curiosity and determination) and stronger social relationships (when we play with real-life friends and family – especially if the game is co-operative). And for gamers who prefer tough, challenging games, they can build up our problem-solving resilience -- so we learn faster from our mistakes, and become resilient in the face of failure.
However... not all games power-up our real lives. Some games, at the end of the day, make us feel stupid for having wasted so much time on them.
So: How do we know when we're playing a good game -- and when would we be better off doing something "real"?
GAMERS: What's one thing you wish non-gamers would understand about your favorite games, and what you get out of playing them?
NON-GAMERS: What's one thing you wish a gamer would explain about games today, and why they play?

Feb 25 2011: The game Melee is a part of life, just like anything you want as a part of your life, you have to sacrifice a part of your life to bring it in. Unless you do something today, you'll be exactly where you are today, tomorrow. Today, I bet a LOOOOOOOOOOOT of people had a lot of fun, got a lot better, had a lot of laughs and learned a lot...by playing video games. I bet a lot of people got a lot of that from a lot of things, and I bet a lot didn't. That's for you to decide.
Most importantly, smile when you do anything. Games a just that after all, games. They're fun. If you say "Why don't gamers see life as the ultimate game?"
Well, you could say that about anything, and in our community we sure do. I hope others will follow, not just the gaming world. We'll smile as we play this 'life' game us 'GAMERS' have heard so much about too. ;)
Sorry for the MULTIPLE Massive POSTS
It's kind of my trade mark on other forums to do multiple posts, why change? ;) hahahha
Take care. Nice topic too Jane.

New EA Software to Allow Gamers to use Single Identity across Game Platforms
- Written by xaraan on Thursday, February 28 2013 and posted in News with Benefits
Electronics Arts has finished a major software project that will enable gamers to use a single identity across a variety of gaming platforms.
Source: Gamesbeat
With the new software, a customer buying an EA game will be able to play and track their activity across various platforms like the XBox 360, Playstation 3, iPhone gaming, Facebook and more. So, for example, if you were playing Battlefield on your XBox and your friend on Playstation wanted to play, you could potentially play together if the game design permits it.
The only drawback is that you have to play EA games (unless other games begin to license the tech) in order to benefit from this service, and with the news that they would be putting micro-transactions into all future games, offering them the ability to track everything you do in gaming isn't too appealing to me. So many of the socially convenient features we see being added into the latest generation of gaming software and hardware seems focused more on tracking your activity for marketing than offering you a good gaming experience. But I'm a jaded old man, you can read the full rundown of the project over at Gamebeat and draw your own conclusions about the new software.

Started on the ledges before the steep bit. May have traversed too early/late but found the belay over western gully in the end. The steep bit is quite steep with little gear and some slopey holds (wrong way?). Climb down in to western gully was easy, watch for loose rock. Very cloudy and atmospheric when we started but sunny after. Ran down from the fingerstone to pen-y-pass in 30 mins.George_Surf - Lead O/S - 08/Jun/14 with Charlie Sanderson

Sean led all 3 pitches. The first was little more than a scramble, but the next 2 were much steeper. I worried for him at one point when, halfway up pitch 2, his last piece of gear popped out and slid down the rope to us as I belayed from below. If he'd fallen there then I reckon he would have landed on us! He did a good job though! Cornish boy - 2nd - 19/May/12 with Sean, Lee

Just did 1 and half pitches then downclimbed due to Mrs MB not feeling very well. Luckily first part of this climb is an easy scramble if that, so easy to retreat! First trad lead by ourselves, so good to practice rope work and setting up a belay. Gutted not to do whole route as plan was to continue on up the arete, but would've been a late one probably.

Cala Millor
The Cala Millor Garden Hotel is situated on the east coast of Majorca, 70 km from the island's capital, Palma de Mallorca, and 60 km from Son Sant Joan International Airport. The hotel stands just 200 metres from Cala Millor beach.

Cala Millor, Majorca
Cala Millor is the point at which land and sea come together in sheer perfection, making this stretch of coastline a stunning viewpoint overlooking the Mediterranean. Spectacular beaches of crystal-clear waters mingle with an immense cultural heritage dating from prehistoric times to the current day. A unique spot that will charm visitors of all ages.
The beaches and surroundings
Lying on Majorca´s east coast, Cala Millor boasts an immense stretch of sand bathed by shimmering blue water and backed by a wide promenade that is ideal for a relaxing evening stroll as the sun sets. More than two kilometres of fine sand make this an irresistible draw for tourists, together with modern facilities and all the amenities they could wish for in what is one of the island's best kept resorts.
Next to Cala Millor beach is the small fishing village of Cala Bona, flanked by fabulous beaches such as Es Ribell, Sa Marjal and Costa dels Pins, in an area that also boasts a host of natural delights.
Leisure and free time
Those of you eager for action will have great fun with the endless activities on offer in Cala Millor: horse riding, tennis, squash, padel tennis, football, karting, golf, shooting, scuba diving and fishing are just some of the options available to visitors, who can also explore the region´s many cycling trails.
And after all that action, it's time to let others do the entertaining: the Sa Màniga Auditorium has a packed programme of cultural events tailored to suit lovers of dance, theatre and music.
Flora and Fauna
The natural, cultural and ecological treasures to be found at Punta de n'Amer, a headland nestling between Sa Coma and Cala Millor, have earned it the status of a Natural Area of Special Interest. Stretching out some 200 hectares, this is many landscapes in one, featuring sand dunes, farming land and pine and juniper groves. In addition to the area's typical plants, such as the lliri blanc de marina (white sea lily), visitors should also keep an eye out for other living jewels such as the fonoll marí (samphire) and the saladina (a type of limonium).
And when it comes to wildlife, this area is home to mammals such as the ratolí de rostoll (wood mouse) and wild rabbit, or a variety of bird species including the corb marí (cormorant), the busqueret (Balearic warbler) and the virot (Cory's Shearwater).
History and culture
Situated just a few kilometres from Cala Millor, S'Illot is one of the finest Talaiotic sites to be found on the island, although the caves of Ses Crestes and Ses Pedreres provided shelter and refuge for even earlier inhabitants, who lived there around 1500 BCE.
A 17th century square fortified tower stands at one end of Punta de n'Amer. Formerly part of the coastal defences, today it houses a small museum and offers visitors breathtaking sea views.
The local cuisine is renowned for its mouth-watering flavours and variety. Traditional dishes include frit de porc (stir-fried pork, potatoes and peppers), tumbet (Majorca's version of ratatouille), arròs brut (a meat and vegetable rice dish) and sopes mallorquines (vegetables and meat simmered slowly with bread to soak up the stock). Sobrassada is Majorca's best-known cured meat, made from pork, bacon and paprika.
When it comes to sweets and pastries, nothing can compare with a delicious ensaïmada. Wound round to form a spiral shape, this exquisite pastry can be filled with a wide range of ingredients, such as cream, chocolate, confectioner's custard and sweet pumpkin jam. Wine is also deeply rooted in the island's cultural heritage; two regions have been awarded a Designation of Origin: Binissalem and Pla i Llevant.

The Columbus Blue Jackets have activated forward Matt Calvert off Injured Reserve, club General Manager Jarmo Kekalainen announced today. Calvert has missed the last seven games with an upper body injury sustained during a 6-3 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on December 21.
Calvert, 24, has tallied four goals and four assists for eight points in 17 games with Columbus this season and 24-23-47 in 114 career NHL games, all with the Blue Jackets. He was Columbus' fifth pick, 127th overall, at the 2008 NHL Draft. The 5-11, 187-pound left winger collected 9-7-16 and 32 penalty minutes in 42 games with the Blue Jackets in 2012-13 and added 10-11-21 and 39 penalty minutes in 34 games with the American Hockey League's Springfield Falcons.
A native of Brandon, Manitoba, Calvert spent three seasons with the Western Hockey League's Brandon Wheat Kings, amassing 99-131-230 in 198 games from 2007-10. He has also appeared in 128 career AHL games, registering 40-42-82 and a +6 plus/minus rating with Springfield.
The Blue Jackets return to action on Friday when the Carolina Hurricanes visit Nationwide Arena for a 7 p.m. Metropolitan Division battle. The Blue Jackets are 19-20-4 on the season and in 7th place in the Metropolitan Division of the NHL Eastern Conference.

Diplomatic Impunity
To the editor:
In no way is the Mexican government trying to get [migrants] into the United States in violation of American law, as Mac Donald states. By publishing documents such as the Guía del Migrante, Mexican authorities are solely seeking to prevent the more than 350 tragic deaths that occur at the border every year, and to provide information about the risks of crossing the border illegally or residing in the United States without the required documentation.
By promoting the use and acceptance of consular IDs, a practice recognized by the Vienna Convention and exercised by most countries, including the United States, Mexico does not seek to interfere in the internal affairs of the U.S. Far from the deceiving characterization as subversive used in the article, a consular ID does not alter a persons migratory status; it merely states that an individual is a Mexican national and provides his address in the U.S. American local authorities, financial institutions, and police departments have acknowledged consular IDs as an asset in a post-9/11 world.
One of the most significant achievements of President Vicente Foxs administration has been its concern for Mexicans living and working abroad.
This cornerstone of our foreign policy is a source of pride for our country and is a regulated and established practice in international affairs. But I firmly believe in drawing a clear distinction between such protection, which Mexican consuls throughout the world have tirelessly worked for, and unacceptable interference with internal issues, which the Mexican government does not accept or promote.
Gerónimo Gutiérrez
To the editor:
Arturo Sarukhan
To the editor:
Ray Caldwell
Heather Mac Donald responds:
Undersecretary Gutiérrez objects to my characterization of the matricula consular campaign as subversive. Perhaps he would prefer militant, which is how Mexicos former foreign secretary, Jorge Castañeda, described it. Mr. Castañeda understood quite well that this unprecedented effort to persuade American authorities to recognize the card has one purpose only: to further normalize the status of illegal Mexican aliens within the U.S.
The undersecretary believes that interference with internal issues is unacceptable for consuls. That is welcome news. He might instruct them to stop denouncing the enforcement of American laws; the consul general in New York, Arturo Sarukhan, would be a good place to start. Mr. Sarukhan claims that he was protesting only the selective enforcement of fire and housing codes when Suffolk County officials shut down three houses, containing a total of over 100 occupants, last July. But Mr. Sarukhan provides no evidence that the authorities are ignoring similarly overcrowded housing containing legal residents. Until he does, his charge of biased enforcement will look like window dressing for his real complaint: that the enforcement of neutral laws that have a disproportionate impact on illegal Mexicans is, as he puts it, a violation of their human rights.Call It Overtime
To the editor:
The Speaker of the House here leads a home-health-care organization, for example, and led the successful effort to include home-health-care workers in collective bargaining units. The Democratic Party actively recruits public employees to run for office. The presence of public employees in the legislature, in overpowering numbers, turns the legislative branch of government into an arm of an expanding executive branch.
In addition, the absence of ordinary taxpayer representationand experiencepermits lawmakers to ignore private-sector impacts. They simply have no experience in the private sector, which is, of course, the bank for their activities. What we have here is an enormous transfer of wealth from the private sector, particularly the working class and lower middle class, to the increasingly wealthy public sector.
Sue Robinson
To the editor:
Bob Lemer
To the editor:
The police believe that they can now keep the murder numbers low. Those of us who know and love the city dont share their confidence. Without some kind of intervention, the city will never flourish again.
Eileen Engel
To the editor:
Before Katrina, I was an owner of a software company with about ten employees in New Orleansmost of whom have since vacated to our Florida office. Today, I am a member of a local vigilante group that has attempted to provide some level of security in the absence of police protection.
New Orleans has a well-founded reputation for corruption in government. The entrenched political establishment has had an interest in maintaining an undereducated, underpaid, entitlement-dependent, easily malleable, and predominantly black lower class. My company is disinclined to return to a city with a permanent underclass, with all the personal safety issues discussed in Ms. Gelinass article.
John Ryan
To the editor:
Also, since Gelinas says that New Orleans has more murders per capita than New York, she should also say that East St. Louis, Illinois, and Highland Park, Michigan, have more murders per capita than New Orleans. Those cities arent put on many lists because they have fewer than 100,000 residents, but if you can compare New Orleans with New York, which is 16 times larger, then you also need to compare it with cities that are 16 times smaller.
Mark Dargin
Nicole Gelinas responds:
Neither the FBI nor the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which reliably track crime statistics, gives murder figures for East St. Louis, only for the metropolitan region that includes its 30,000 inhabitants. That region records a murder rate of about eight per 100,000. And only HUD reports reliable statistics for Highland Park: over the six years for which recent data are available, this city of 17,000 has reported murder rates ranging from 53 to 101 per 100,000 inhabitants (the figures vary wildly from year to year because the city is so small).
I would agree with Mr. Dargin that Highland Park is a dangerous place to live, more dangerous than pre-Katrina New Orleans. However, I do not agree that Highland Park can be compared with traditional urban areas like New Orleans and New York. Highland Park is surrounded by, and dependent on, Detroit, with no real economy of its own; New York and New Orleans are historically independent cities with the diverse industrial, economic, racial, educational, and cultural characteristics one expects to see in an urban environment.
