On 24 April 2005 Dharmaratnam Sivaram, editorial board member of the website Tamilnet , was found shot dead from gunshot wounds to the head several hours after four unidentified persons had abducted him from a restaurant opposite a Police station on Colombo’s Galle Road. His murder, which followed weeks of threats, is as yet “unsolved.” Four years after his death, it is instructive to revisit his politics and draw lessons from a life lived amidst violence.  Mark Whitaker’s LearninBY DOUG GANLEY The headline is wrong.

FROM CNN I’ve always been fascinated by architecture. It would be fabulous to possess the mastery to create things and watch a city take shape under your own personal specifications. Unfortunately, abstract mathematics are not my strong suit. But being an architect would certainly be a cool profession. Just as well. There are a variety of things that I’m talented at and I’d much rather be pursuing those passions at the end of the day. This is my way of saying tBy Steven Zeitchik Hollywood could soon be going Objectivist. After decades in development hell, Ayn Rand’s capitalism-minded “Atlas Shrugged” is taking new steps toward the big screen — with one of the film world’s most prominent money men potentially at its center. Ryan Kavanaugh’s Relativity Media is circling the Baldwin Entertainment project and could come aboard to finance with Lionsgate, which got involved several years ago.

We’re all over the place. You will recall that the Sons of Liberty, for about ten years leading up to Concord and Bunker Hill, communicated with each other all over the coWay back in March, the Antlers’ self-titled, self-released debut album was already making with-it music critics’ best-of 2009 lists. Since I’m not with-it and am notably over a week late for even the bandwagon , I hope to make up for it with schmaltziness. I won’t lie…I’m in love with this album because it plays to my weaknesses for painful emotions and sad backdrop stories. It’s the most cinematic thing I’ve ever heard
