  3. 'Dexter' enters last season with knife marks all over TV landscape

    When Showtime debuted "Dexter" way back in 2006, people couldn't quite grasp what they were seeing. A serial killer? As a sympathetic leading man? Were those the flames of Sodom burning distantly behind us?

  4. Sustainable seafood: Would you eat a giant squid?

    There were a lot of startling statistics that came out of the seafood discussions at the <a href="http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/">Monterey Bay Aquarium&rsquo;s</a> Sustainable Foods Institute last week. Did you know that more than 90% of the fish we eat is imported? How about the fact that more than half of it is aquacultured? But the most startling to me was the fact that more than half of the fish consumed in the United States comes from just three groups &ndash; shrimp, tuna and salmon.

  5. Why USC and not a black college, Dr. Dre?

    I was in Detroit preparing to give a speech last week when the news came across my Twitter feed: "Dr. Dre and music producer Jimmy Iovine donate $70 million to USC to create new degree." As one of the first university presidents from the hip-hop generation, I had to stop and read the story immediately.

  6. 'Stuck in the Middle' offers a singular perspective on parenting

    Jennifer Finney Boylan was the father of two young boys, a devoted husband, a keyboard player in bar bands, the author of three published novels, and an English professor in Maine when she began the process that would make her outwardly &mdash; anatomically and socially &mdash; the woman she felt she had always been on the inside. Her book about life before, during and after that transition, "She's Not There" (2003), made her a guiding star for many transgender readers: Here was somebody who made all the changes she needed and, despite all the growing pains, got to keep most of her life.

  12. Sprinkled with smarts

    <strong>The gig:</strong> Sprinkles Cupcakes, the Beverly Hills chain beloved by bold-faced Hollywood names such as Tom Cruise and Ryan Seacrest, launched in 2005 with six workers, including founders Candace and Charles Nelson. The company has since expanded to 400 employees in 14 U.S. stores, two of which focus on ice cream instead of cupcakes. At its original Beverly Hills store last year, the Nelsons opened their first around-the-clock cupcake ATM, dispensing more than 1,000 of the treats a day. Sprinkles also peddles cupcakes out of a food truck and sells mixes at Williams-Sonoma stores. Candace is a judge on the Food Network show "Cupcake Wars."
