WASHINGTON, Feb. 12 (UPI) -- South Carolina Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn has remained neutral in presidential primary races, but he's signaled that may change after the weekend.

Icelandic Glacial water company is paying homage to a classic Diet Coke ad from the '90s in their latest marketing effort -- but with a queer makeover that we absolutely love.

In this reimagining of the ad, a group of women in an office all gather at the window exactly at 10:30 to ogle a hunky surfer as he emerges from the ocean after a morning of surfing. Except it's not just women losing their minds over the dreamy surfer -- a dude joins in the fun, adding a novel queer twist to the narrative. Читать дальше...

It was always exciting to see, around town, those lovely posters by Paul Davis announcing a new production at the Public Theatre—“our” theatre, over on Lafayette Street, a place that promoted, before it was fashionable, color-blind casting, knowing that talent itself was not defined by race or gender but spirit. In 1980, the Davis poster showed a young actress named Meryl Streep in a piece called “Alice in Concert.” Its author was Elizabeth Swados, a name I recognized from another Public event a year before...

The wireless industry is in a state of flux. AT&T and Verizon have dominated the carrier market over the past seven years while T-Mobile and Sprint have struggled to gain subscribers. Then in 2013, T-Mobile tweaked its strategy to turn around its business.

Rebecca and Uri Minkoff sparked renewed conversation over the role of New York Fashion Week.

Last year's budget deal renews the Social Security Administration's (SSA) authority to conduct demonstration projects to encourage work among Disability Insurance (DI) beneficiaries.  As our new paper explains, previous SSA experiments have found that few beneficiaries can earn enough to support themselves and leave DI.  The renewed demonstration authority provides an opportunity to test more new ideas, but the window for action is very brief, so SSA -- which is already working on one project -- should soon decide on others.

Someone has to pay for the cocktails on the first date, dinners in that classy restaurant, the wedding by the beach — and that messy divorce. Here are some fun facts on the economics of romance.

Don't surprise me with a fancy dinner at an expensive restaurant. Want to really impress me? It doesn't take much. Just handle dinner/clean up on your own and make sure I get to eat my meal without interruption. A hot meal cooked by anyone else but me trumps any Michelin star restaurant in my book.

Last night at the Brooklyn Academy Of Music, as part of their “Heat & Vice: The Films of Michael Mann” retrospective, the legendary filmmaker himself graced the stage for an engaging one-hour-plus talk.

Weird but sometimes wonderful too!

Waiters asking you if everything is ok all the time.
