Gordon Gee regrets ‘Polish army’ quip
The president of Ohio State University apologized Friday for comparing the problem of coordinating the school's many divisions to the Polish army, an off-the-cuff remark that a Polish-American group called a "slanderous" display of bigotry and ignorance. "As you might know, I made those ill-chosen remarks during a question-and-answer session after delivering a speech," Gordon Gee said in an apology emailed to a spokeswoman for the Polish American Congress. "I realized at the time that I had made a mistake.". -

Project Runway All Stars: A Night at the Opera
A drama-free episode (mostly) full of interesting, discussable garments at the end, with one or two really stunning ones. Darlings, how in the hell do we recap THAT? We’re so out of practice! For the last several seasons, it’s been all about drama, characters, and dead family members! A Project Runway with the focus on the clothes? Pfft. It’ll never work!. -

New York, for all of its diversity, is also a city of defined communities, like the group of men who, for years, have gathered in the back of the Kettle of Fish in Greenwich Village. There, around a round oak table that is supposed to seat six but can be home to a few more, and not far from the gaze of a bobblehead Ray Nitschke doll, they watch their Green Bay Packers play — week after winter week, pleasant enough to other fans who share their allegiances yet protective of their small bit of turf deep inside the low-ceilinged bar.. -
Ten things I learned about Aaron Rodgers from listening to Tuesdays with Aaron
Tuesdays with Aaron is quarterback Aaron Rodgers' weekly sit-down with ESPN Milwaukee's Jason Wilde. The normally media-shy athlete dishes on topics such as family, pop culture, and, of course, football. Rodgers and Wilde have a healthy working relationship and it makes for some quality radio -- segments such as "Inside the Helmet," where Rodgers breaks down one good and one bad play from the previous week's game; and "Ask Aaron," a closing segment fueled by Wilde's hand-picked questions drawn from Twitter, keep the show on-point and entertaining. The show is available via an iTunes podcast and can be streamed online via various ESPN affiliate stations, including 100.5 FM in Madison.More »
