Short Hills mall might consider security changes after fatal carjacking

As shoppers returned to the Mall at Short Hills today, the manager of the upscale shopping center said mall officials might consider making changes to its security plan in the aftermath of last night's fatal carjacking.

Michael J. McAvinue, the mall's general manager, said stores opened at 8 a.m., as scheduled. The lower levels of the parking garage where shopper Dustin Friedland was shot Sunday night re-opened this afternoon.

Police are searching for two assailants who fled in Friedland's silver Range Rover after shooting the Hoboken attorney in the head as he returned to his car with his wife around 9:10 p.m. The car was found today behind a vacant house in Newark, near Route 78.

McAvinue declined to comment on the shooting, which he said remains an active police investigation.

"Our number one priority is the safety of our customers and our store employees, and we are doing everything we can to cooperate with police," McAvinue said.

When asked about mall security, McAvinue said the shopping center officials would consider reviewing procedures in response to the shooting.

"We have a very good security program in place. Would we be willing to review that? Absolutely," he said.

The Mall at Short Hills uses an outside contractor, International Protection Corporation, to provide security for the inside and outside of the mall, McAvinue said.

International Protection Corporation, based in Illinois, is a large firm that provides security to malls and shopping centers around the country.

Email triggers evacuations, canceled exams at Harvard

The bomb scare at Harvard University today was triggered by an e-mail warning that explosives had been planted in four buildings at the heart of the storied campus, according to a law enforcement official.

At 2:44 p.m., the university announced that the Science Center, the last of the four buildings, had been deemed safe. Law enforcement officials had already combed through and cleared Thayer Hall, a freshman dorm, and Sever and Emerson halls, two buildings that contain lecture halls.

Thayer, Emerson, and Sever are all located inside the ancient Harvard Yard section of the campus. The Science Center stands just outside the Yard.

According to the school’s academic calendar, final exams are scheduled for this week for undergraduates.

College officials said they were working to identify and reschedule exams that were disrupted by evacuations of the buildings. Officials also planned to make an announcement about the impact on afternoon exams as soon as possible, a university spokesman said in an e-mail.

President Obama was briefed this morning about the events taking place at his alma mater, a White House official said. Obama attended Harvard Law School, which has its own campus near the Science Center and the Yard.

“We continue to encourage the public to follow directions from the local officials. The White House will remain in touch with our federal, state, and local partners and the president will continue to receive briefings as needed,” the official said.

Bengals grades against the Pittsburgh Steelers

Quarterback: Despite a few passes being off-target, Andy Dalton didn't turn the football over and he played as well as someone without a serviceable offensive line or reliable receivers could play. After completing only two of his first ten passes, Dalton would go on to complete 23 of his next 34 with two touchdowns. Dalton ended up going 25 for 44 with 230 yards passing and two scores.

Grade: B-

Running Back: Granted the Bengals were facing a 21-point deficit with over a minute remaining in the first quarter, but when the Bengals actually ran, it just wasn't there. Blocking is a huge reason and BenJarvus Green-Ellis is clearly dealing with lingering flu-like issues and only ran the ball four times. Giovani Bernard scored a touchdown, but only averaged 2.5 yards/rush.

Grade: C-

Wide Receivers: Not impressed. Most of what A.J. Green earned on Sunday was the result of curl routes. Perhaps a few of the throws were off-target but Green wasn't applying the description of being someone that makes difficult receptions. And he's even dropping some of the easier throws. Marvin Jones played well with five receptions, 48 yards receiving and a fourth quarter touchdown.

Grade: C-

Tight Ends: Maybe it's Jay Gruden. But I can't possibly be more disappointed in how the Bengals have applied their tight ends recently. Jermaine Gresham wasn't very effective against the Steelers, even losing a fumble during a long third down conversion that he fought honorably for. Tyler Eifert hasn't had the targets we had hoped for. Both combined for six receptions for 56 yards receiving and a touchdown.

Chris Brown's 'Loyal' drops with Lil' Wayne and French Montana

Chris Brown enlisted Lil' Wayne and French Montana for his new track, "Loyal." The single opens with Weezy rapping about his lack of trust in his female companions. Chris Brown joins in, commenting on the gold-digging tendencies of women he knows, repeating a chorus of "These h--s ain't loyal."

"Loyal" is expected to be featured on the controversial singer's upcoming album, "X." Due out in 2014, the record may be Brown's last. He took to Twitter earlier this year to promise his exit from the industry: "Don't worry mainstream America.

After this 'X' album, it'll probably be my last album," he wrote. "Being famous is amazing when it's for [your] music and talent. I'm tired of being famous for a mistake I made when i was 18. I'm cool & over it!"

Jamal Charles has my MVP vote

Chiefs coach Andy Reid may be biased, but if he had a vote for the NFL Most Valuable Player award, he’d vote for Jamaal Charles.

Charles, the Kansas City running back who scored five touchdowns in Sunday’s win over the Raiders, has moved into MVP contention, and Reid said after Sunday’s game that he believes Charles deserves the award.

“He’s got my vote,” Reid said. “All the folks that were here today, he’s probably got their vote. I don’t know how many anybody can be more valuable to a team and to the success that we have had than he’s had. I’m pulling for him.”

Charles has 246 carries for 1,181 yards and 11 touchdowns this season, plus 65 catches for 655 yards and seven touchdowns. He has a chance to become the first player in NFL history with 10 rushing touchdowns and 10 receiving touchdowns in the same season, and he also has a chance at just the fifth season ever with 1,350 rushing yards and 750 receiving yards (Marshall Faulk did that three times, and Steven Jackson did it once).

American Dad: 'Minstrel Krampus'

Through some strange confluence of winter holiday television synergy, this weekend I’ve reviewed both a Christmas episode of a supernatural procedural centered on Krampus and a musical special. I’ve said that my favorite Christmas episodes are the ones that find a way to conduct a normal episode while weaving holiday themes into the character arcs.

But sometimes none of that matters, and a rollicking good time is just as good. “Minstrel Krampus” more than delivers on a year of anticipation, and it’s another strong installment in the annual American Dad anti-Christmas Christmas episode tradition.

Last year, in the aftermath of the tragedy at Sandy Hook, Fox wisely delayed this episode for a year, meaning that there will presumably be one less Christmas special in the show’s run when it inevitably concludes. For the first two-thirds of the episode, I didn’t quite understand why, but then that Santa and Stan-led assault on Krampus’ Bavarian castle happens, and it’s immediately clear why this shouldn’t have aired in the aftermath of a mass shooting.

This is another violent blood bath of an episode that destroys elves and other magical entities, shedding blood where there should be no blood, and once again obliterating the idea that everything needs to be snuggly and cute for this holiday season. It was a smart decision to delay this, but I'm incredibly glad it could just slide right into another season without disrupting anything.

Dylan Sprouse Reveals Why He Took Nude Selfies That Leaked

If you've got it, flaunt it!

That certainly seems to be what Dylan Sprouse was thinking when he recently snapped some selfies that left little to the imagination.

After all, in the wake of the photos leaking online over the weekend, the former Suite Life of Zack & Cody star has since taken to Tumblr to explain why he took them in the first place.

"To be blunt, I was proud of my progress in the gym, thought I looked hot, and wanted to share it," he wrote.

"I'm of the mindset that whoever you are, if you are proud of your body and want to show it off, so be it!"

The first snapshot shows Sprouse holding his iPhone and posing in front of a bathroom mirror while flexing his muscles. The second photo features the erstwhile Disney star completely nude and cupping his genitals, though half of his face is out of frame.

But the 21-year-old actor went on to say that "the real problem here was not me sending my pictures to someone, but rather, sending them to the WRONG someone. The real travesty is a misplaced trust, and while I am certainly to blame for it, it is a shame that my private life was somehow forcibly dragged into the public's perception of me.
