Kids will be having their first wild night on the town so it might be good to just stay in and avoid it completely. A quick word of advice for these new transplants: walk fast, be brave, and don’t be afraid to have a good ol’ fashioned public cry — everyone likes to watch. (Photo: EV Grieve)

Although this clip was originally confined to Facebook, I decided it would serve the community much better by freeing it up beyond the social network. A dedication to Gawker scribe, Hamilton Nolan, NYU student and On Campus editor of NYULocal.com, Nicole He, whipped up this tribute as part of a 20 part project.

“I wrote ukulele songs about 20 of my friends who requested it on Facebook,” writes He. “Hamilton is #19.” I’m looking forward to the remixes.

Filming took place every six months for five years and then was edited into a 45 film, “Growing.” Emma Tamburlini, the younger daughter, now 43, wants the tapes returned to her and her sister (who’s given no comment.) She wants the film destroyed, but NYU plans to keep the footage and “to protect the material” until the daughters are dead.

Tamburlini says she was forced to participate and is naturally reluctant to have New Yorkers gandering at close-ups of her underage genitals. Legally, since she never consented to the videotaping, she may have the right to have the tapes destroyed.

“I kind of think that a lot of people would be very uptight, or at least a little bit concerned, wondering whether they have in their archives child pornography,” Tamburlini says.

Is this documented abuse? Is it rare and enlightening art? Artists are allowed to tote the line, more or less — Sally Mann, Irina Ionesco, Jock Sturges, Bill Henson — but in terms of the intent of Larry Rivers’s “footage,” it just sounds creepy and not particularly artistic.

Proving that some good can come out of NYU, graduate student Adam Harvey is working on a very cheap counter surveillance technique that could render very expensive facial recognition technology utterly useless and it doesn’t even have moving parts: abstract makeup. It’s dazzle camo for humans. |PSFK|

Aw, poor Jude Law! The dandy little Brit thespian with the Herculean sperm came to New York to get his Shakespeare on, and now he’s pissed that students living in a NYU dorm in the village can peer down upon his fancy balcony, so he’s taken to hurling oranges at them whenever he catches someone looking out their window at him. Note to Jude Law: It’s New York, asshole! If you don’t want neighbors spying on you, move the hell someplace else. Idiot! Someone please whip this guy’s ass, and soon. |New York Post|

Another NYU student apparently committed suicide this morning, the twelfth such tragic incident in the past five years at the school. |NYU|
