Violence broke out in Pristina at a demonstration against a new push by the European Union to normalise relations between Kosovo and Serbia. Eighteen police officers were injured in the clashes which followed talks in Brussels between the two prime ministers: Hashim Thaci of Kosovo and Ivica Dacic of Serbia. It was the first such meeting since Kosovo declared independence in 2008.
Brussels insists that before EU membership can be considered, progress must be made towards solving a range of problems resulting from Serbia's refusal to recognise Kosovo. These include energy supplies, managing the joint border, and finding an international dialling code for the country.
The Self-Determination movement in Kosovo staged their own protest in parliament, brandishing a banner which read "Resolution is submission to Serbia".

UPDATE: First Teaser Trailer for AMERICAN HORROR STORY: FREAK SHOW is a Fake!
Yesterday, a first teaser trailer for FX's next installment of the anthology series AMERICAN HORROR STORY, subtitled 'Freakshow' made its way on to the internet. Today however Eonline reports that the footage is in fact fan-made and that no teasers for Freak Show have been released.
View the fan-made teaser below!
Last season of the show picked up 17 Emmy nominations on July 10th, making it this year's third-most nominated series. Series creator Ryan Murphy told the Los Angeles Times that he believes the show's success is due to the recent popularity of the anthology approach to TV storytelling. "I think that people like that format," he said. "I think people like a beginning, middle and end. I think it's a fun way to watch. With binge-viewing really taking off in our society, I think it's the perfect sort of storytelling for the culture we live in now. We see that reflected on all those nominations, people like it. And I think we'll be seeing more of it."
Set in Jupiter, Florida, in 1950, Freak Show will feature AHS alum Jessica Lange portraying a German ex-pat who is managing one of the last freak shows in the U.S.
Kathy Bates, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, and Frances Conroy will all appear as performers rescued by Lange's character.
Freak Show is set to air this October on FX.

Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be – That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks – for his kind care and protection of the People of this country previous to their becoming a Nation – for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his providence, which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war –for the great degree of tranquillity, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed – for the peac

TRINITY CHURCH v. THE UNITED STATES
143 U.S. 457, 12 S.Ct. 511, 36 L.Ed. 226
February 29, 1892
If we pass beyond these matters to a view of American life, as expressed by its laws, its business, its customs, and its society, we find everywhere a clear recognition of the same truth. Among other matters note the following: The form of oath universally prevailing, concluding with an appeal to the Almighty; the custom of opening sessions of all deliberative bodies and most conventions with prayer; the prefatory words of all wills, "In the name of God, amen;" the laws respecting the observance of the Sabbath, with the general cessation of all secular business, and the closing of courts, legislatures, and other similar public assemblies on that day; the churches and church organizations which abound in every city, town, and hamlet; the multitude of charitable organizations existing everywhere under Christian auspices; the gigantic missionary associations, with general support, and aiming to establish Christian missions in every quarter of the globe. These and many other matters which might be noticed, add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that this is a Christian nation.

"People? Apparently you are confused… The government (in this case a government school) is not a person or an individual with individual rights. This was a religious collective shoving its collective belief on others through a government ran institution"
oh you mean like the THEOCRATIC ATHEIST collective you fascist atheists want to impose upon us?

"Yea, let the majority decide… just like they did during the Spanish Inquisition, or Nazi Germany, or Stalin-era Russia. Fools. Keep your invisible space man to yourself, he is the worst thing to ever happen to civilization, and more and more people wake up to that fact every day. Move to the middle east if you want your theocratic ideas pushed into the mainstream."
you can thank whatever freedom we have left to christianity…you 'libertarian' fascists fit in quite well in nazi germnay and stalin's russia.
you want a fascist atheist theocracy. did you starch your brown shirt today adolph?

"Do you understand the differences between creationism and evolution?"
yeah creationism actually has some evidence to support it, unlike evolution. take the fossil record, it shows fully formed animals, not graual sequences…ie it doesn't show evolution.
evolution is not science, in fact its useless for science…its atheism posing as science.

"You people fear education and progress. Probably because it continually renders your fairy tale beliefs obsolete. And that scares you."
yeah thats we sue, silence and harass those who disagree…..like sternberg and crocker…
oh wait thats you fascist darwinacs who do that…..
your racist little atheist fairy tale is obsolete…its why you have to resort to fascist tactics to silence those who disagree…
February 19, 2012 at 1:37pm
"Wait, your telling me 70% of you people DON'T believe in evolution….. of any kind? Jesus Christ you people hurt my head sometimes."
no one with an ounce of rationality believes in that racist atheist fairy tale…
February 19, 2012 at 1:35pm
"Someone has to save the country from the fairy tale believers."
yeah we're trying to save it from the fascists who believe in that racist atheist fairy tale known as evolution….
February 19, 2012 at 1:31pm
"service to intellectual independence and researching things for oneself, somehow this group has remained incredibly homogenous."
why is 'intellectual independence' always defined as bowing at the altar of darwin, and repeating the same old liberal/fascist talking points?

Husband says he loves his son more than our daughter
If she trusts husband, wife should be ready to drop her reaction to his foolish words
|Report an Error
Share via Email
My husband has a son, age 10, from a previous marriage, and together, we have a daughter, age two.
We've been together for seven years. He has a great, loyal personality, and is very trustworthy.
But recently, he told me straight out that he loves his son more than our daughter, because he's known the boy longer.
My worry is this — when his son is 25, will he still love him more because he's known him longer?
I don't want my daughter to sense that (less-loved) feeling from him as she grows. What a horrible thing for her to feel!
I'm very upset. I love his son as much as my daughter, though maybe differently, but the amount is the same. What do I do?
Change the topic of discussion, and weigh your husband's actions more than his foolish words. So long as he's loving to his daughter, and spending some quality time with her, he's showing his attachment.
He may've been trying to say something many divorced/widowed parents feel, which is that a child from a previous marriage needs some extra attention after experiencing the separation or loss.
Although, he does know his son's personality, reactions, quirks, etc. better than those of his two-year-old daughter, it's a silly comparison.
He may've been trying to be provocative, or just enjoying a theoretical debate, but it was sure to set you off, and you've responded with worries.
Be smarter, and avoid unnecessary stress in the relationship.
Unless you truly distrust his feelings for your daughter — and that doesn't seem the case — drop this now. Also, forget about weighing how much or which way you love his son.
Just be a loving, responsible, involved parent with both kids and expect the same from him.
I'm a male, 29, recently graduated from university. I'm a Sri-Lankan Tamil and met a Sri-Lankan Tamil girl during my studies in our same field. She's 22.
I'm in love with her (one-sided) and decided to propose to her through "my friend" whom I also met at school (this same girl).
This girl and I both travelled together by subway and worked together in group projects. She's one of the best friends I ever met in my life.
She might not be interested in the proposal because of the age difference between us.
But I'm wondering how to keep the friendship at the same level even if the proposal is unsuccessful.
How can I handle the situation if the proposal doesn't work out, as I have such high expectations/hopes?
This could turn out wonderfully fun and successful, due to the cleverness of your asking "your friend" to propose for you …. to herself!
Or, it could confuse her — as it did me for awhile — and embarrass her in responding, if she doesn't feel the same way.
A proposal is a very significant step, in any culture! Though you're good friends, you also need to have some sense of whether she's ready, at 22, for that commitment with anyone, and some sense of whether there's any chemistry between you.
I say, hold off longer. Talk to her about the future . . . is she interested in further schooling, travel, working locally? Would she see herself in a long-term relationship for the right person, or not ready for that yet?
Get closer . . . compliment her, take her hand when walking, be aware of her responses. You'll know soon enough whether you can go further and even ask "your friend" what she thinks of you two dating.
Sometimes, staying watchful of actions, not words, is the best approach.

Snow covered in late September, this is the highest peak in New Mexico. It is a spectacular view from the Enchanted Highway. A must do trip while in the Taos area.
There are two main routes to Wheeler Peak, both of which leave from the Taos Ski Valley. The first is along the Bull of the Woods trail which starts at a trailhead near the RV parking (just to the left as you enter the valley). This is a 7.5 mile trail with about 3600 feet of elevation gain. The other...
A jeep ride to Wheeler Peak is one of the most wonderful ways to see the mountain beauty and scenery that the Red River area has to offer.
This is a hike that you celebrate afterwards! It is steep and difficult and long, but beautiful and quite an accomplishment! I hiked this for the first time at 50, but hope to hike it again. LEAVE early. It rains, (or sleets) on the mountain top almost every afternoon. It is pretty miserable to get caught in this weather! But,...
We hiked in on the East Fork Trail, camped near the Lost Lake - Horseshoe Lake trail junction. We dayhiked to Wheeler the next day. In early July just before the monsoons kicked in the weather was glorious! We were able to get to the trailhead in a Prius but we had to take the last 1.6 miles very slow...
Always a good choice. Wheeler Peak is gorgeous and autumn is a perfect time to visit.The color was breath taking.
We loved the view and would see it again tomorrow if we could. I would recommend taking your lunch to enjoy an afternoon of relaxation.
Got to the summit and it was breathtaking! You could see for miles! You could see Red River waaaaay down in the valley. We got to the top and it was raining in different parts of the valley...so pretty!!
There are four types of trout found around Red River and Wheeler Peak. Try your hand at fly fishing in the West Fork or East Fork, Middle Fork Lake, Lost Lake, and Horseshoe Lake.
Hiking it will take a while, but the views are spectacular. I prefer to ride it. Not only can you see the views, and enjoy the fresh air, but as i age, hiking it becomes less and option.

In West Texas things aren't always as laid back as here in the DFW area. Police are keeping an eye on the new cleaning service in Lubbock that offers nude maids.
Police Sgt. Jonathan Stewart said the Fantasy Maid Service of Lubbock doesn't have a permit to operate a sexually oriented business and officers are watching for any sort of violations, which would bring a $2,000 fine.
Owner of Fantasy Maid Service says that she's not operating any sort of sex business. Costumers pay $100 an hour for one maid or $150 an hour for two maids and no touching is allowed.
"I run a maid service," the 26-year-old entrepreneur told the Associated Press. "We really just clean houses. These girls are not performers. They're maids."
So far business has been good, according to Borrett, and she is interviewing for more maids.
If requested the maids would clean fully clothed, but the cost is the same.
"It is kind of pricey, but we're fantasy maids," Borrett said.

An immense and hugely complex subject captured beautifully in a poem. Bravo! (Report) Reply
Bill Grace
:) Russia
Candy given to comfort at take off
Spontaneous applause in landing
Our guides grand father murdered by Stalin's men
The vastness of her Western steppe experienced
If only through jet window review,
The strangeness where every car could be a cab
And duress no excuse for lack of faithfulness
To things too deep for talk.
The old ways and the new ways
Cross and merge and intertwine
Russia emerges slowly to her new age.

In 1948, when the Supreme Court ruled that restrictive covenants, while permissible, were not enforceable by judicial action, Chicago had other weapons at the ready. The Illinois state legislature had already given Chicago's city council the right to approve—and thus to veto—any public housing in the city's wards. This came in handy in 1949, when a new federal housing act sent millions of tax dollars into Chicago and other cities around the country. Beginning in 1950, site selection for public housing proceeded entirely on the grounds of segregation. By the 1960s, the city had created with its vast housing projects what the historian Arnold R. Hirsch calls a "second ghetto," one larger than the old Black Belt but just as impermeable. More than 98 percent of all the family public-housing units built in Chicago between 1950 and the mid‑1960s were built in all-black neighborhoods.
Governmental embrace of segregation was driven by the virulent racism of Chicago's white citizens. White neighborhoods vulnerable to black encroachment formed block associations for the sole purpose of enforcing segregation. They lobbied fellow whites not to sell. They lobbied those blacks who did manage to buy to sell back. In 1949, a group of Englewood Catholics formed block associations intended to "keep up the neighborhood." Translation: keep black people out. And when civic engagement was not enough, when government failed, when private banks could no longer hold the line, Chicago turned to an old tool in the American repertoire—racial violence. "The pattern of terrorism is easily discernible," concluded a Chicago civic group in the 1940s. "It is at the seams of the black ghetto in all directions." On July 1 and 2 of 1946, a mob of thousands assembled in Chicago's Park Manor neighborhood, hoping to eject a black doctor who'd recently moved in. The mob pelted the house with rocks and set the garage on fire. The doctor moved away.
In 1947, after a few black veterans moved into the Fernwood section of Chicago, three nights of rioting broke out; gangs of whites yanked blacks off streetcars and beat them. Two years later, when a union meeting attended by blacks in Englewood triggered rumors that a home was being "sold to n*ggers," blacks (and whites thought to be sympathetic to them) were beaten in the streets. In 1951, thousands of whites in Cicero, 20 minutes or so west of downtown Chicago, attacked an apartment building that housed a single black family, throwing bricks and firebombs through the windows and setting the apartment on fire. A Cook County grand jury declined to charge the rioters—and instead indicted the family's NAACP attorney, the apartment's white owner, and the owner's attorney and rental agent, charging them with conspiring to lower property values. Two years after that, whites picketed and planted explosives in South Deering, about 30 minutes from downtown Chicago, to force blacks out.

Athena FF: Amma Asante's Belle Revisits Jane Austen Through Black POV
By Guest Contributor Inkoo Kang, cross-posted from Women And Hollywood
"This is the story of a woman who is loved."
Those are the words black British director Amma Asante used to describe her marvelous sophomore feature Belle at the Athena Film Festival this past weekend, and they had a palpable emotional impact when Asante uttered them at the film's post-screening Q&A.
That's because it's still all-too-maddeningly rare to see a gentle romance about the loveliness or adorableness or winsome sweetness of black women. Asante's intention to make exactly that — her version of Jane Austen, based on the life of Dido Elizabeth Belle, an 18th-century half-African, half-British historical noblewoman — feels radical, even though the film is in many ways a comfortably familiar period piece primarily concerned with courtship and marriage.
Last year saw a flurry of high-profile films with (male) black protagonists (12 Years a Slave, Mandela, Fruitvale Station, The Butler, and 42), and the wonderful thing about Asante's carefully constructed film is that it's not a story grounded in black suffering. Living in a pre-abolition Britain, Dido, played with grace and passion by Gugu Mbatha-Raw, is certainly no stranger to racism.
But, as Asante explained, her film tells a story about Dido "teaching people how to love her" — to let themselves be won over by her charms and wit despite their knee-jerk prejudices. Rounded out by critiques of sexism and classism, Belle is a quietly ambitious project that's already put Asante on an ascendant path in Hollywood.
If you missed its NY premiere at Athena, Belle will be released on May 2.
The Forgotten Story of Japanese American Zoot Suiters
By Guest Contributor Ellen D. Wu, cross-posted from Nikkei Chicago
Sus Kaminaka was a zoot suiter: one of the many young people in 1940s America who embraced a distinctive, working-class urban aesthetic characterized by flamboyant fashions and irreverent comportment. Kaminaka and other hipsters sported pompadours and ducktail haircuts, "drapes" consisting of broad-shouldered, long fingertip coats tapered at the ankles, pleated pegged pants, wide-brimmed hats, and watch fobs. They also loved to party. Jazz, jitterbugging, lindy hopping, drinking, casual sex, and "cool" were just as integral to the lives of zoot suiters as their characteristic dress.
Sus Kaminaka was also a Nisei: a second-generation American born to immigrant Japanese parents and raised in the farmlands of California's Sacramento Delta region. Planning to follow in his father's footsteps, Kaminaka enrolled at a local agricultural college to study truck crops.
But President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Executive Order 9066, signed on February 19, 1942 and authorizing the secretary of war to "prescribe military areas… from which any or all persons may be excluded" completely upended his ambitions. Ostensibly region- and race-neutral, the order targeted Pacific Coast Japanese Americans. Forced to leave school, home, and community, he soon found himself in the Stockton Assembly Center, one of the 16 temporary way stations for the 120,000 Nikkei (persons of Japanese ancestry) en route to longer-term concentration camps.
On incarceration, Kaminaka's worldview changed entirely. Previously intent on earning his college degree, a goal he now considered hopeless, he dropped out of his center's adult education program. Once "proud of living in the best country in the world," Kaminaka abandoned the idea of registering for the franchise. "I don't think I was too interested in voting anyway because I didn't know what it was all about and my vote didn't mean a thing," he shrugged. Deciding that hard work was an exercise in futility, he instead "concentrated on having fun like [he] saw the other kids doing." Before the war, he used to regard Nisei girls as "something sacred" and "never had any dirty thoughts [about] them." But in Stockton, he shed his "nice boy" reputation. He signed up with an eight-member "gang," and spent his days and nights chasing young women and going to camp dances. It was during this time that he also acquired his first zoot suit.

'Murican Idol: Here's What Didn't Get Phil Robertson Suspended from Duck Dynasty
By Arturo R. García
By now you've no doubt heard that reality "star" Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty "fame" was suspended from the show — or, in snake-oil TV-speak, placed on "indefinite hiatus" — after glibly engaging in some concern-trolling homophobia in a GQ interview while painting his show and his family's public embrace of its Christian faith as some sort of antidote for whatever it believes ails America.
But what hasn't been reported nearly as widely is the amount of outright racially prejudiced statements Robertson also lets fly in the piece, which points to a bigger problem for A&E. The network has been all too happy to trade on Robertson and his family's "good ol' boy" brand. Now it has to deal with the consequences.

Western Privilege and Anti-black Racism in Panama
By Guest Contributor Aliyya Swaby
In late September, I moved from New York City to Panama City to start a freelance journalism project. For two college summers, I had traveled in Latin American countries and did not see many people who looked like me.
In Ecuador, a friend told me I seemed more "French" than "Ecuadorean" black, because I wasn't too aggressive. As I walked around Peru's inland cities, men called out "Chincha," the name of the predominately black coastal city.
I thought I would feel more comfortable in Panama, where the skin color gradient includes darker shades of brown. After all, my West Indian immigrant parents belong to the same diaspora as many Panamanian black people, whose ancestors were imported by the U.S. government as laborers on the Panama Canal.
But the reality is more complex. I recently found blogger BlackinAsia's posts on being a black Westerner abroad, and immediately zeroed in on this quotation: "We inhabit a liminal space which is difficult to dissect, but that's why a more nuanced analysis is necessary — with "Westernness" bestowing on us some privileges abroad (e.g. diplomatic immunity) rooted in the global power of our countries or origin, but our "blackness" leading to our oppression due to anti-black sentiments. We encounter and live both while abroad as black Westerners."
Quoted: On Colonial America's Relationship With Islam
At a time when most Americans were uninformed, misinformed, or simply afraid of Islam, Thomas Jefferson imagined Muslims as future citizens of his new nation. His engagement with the faith began with the purchase of a Qur'an eleven years before he wrote the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson's Qur'an survives still in the Library of Congress, serving as a symbol of his and early America's complex relationship with Islam and its adherents. That relationship remains of signal importance to this day.That he owned a Qur'an reveals Jefferson's interest in the Islamic religion, but it does not explain his support for the rights of Muslims. Jefferson first read about Muslim "civil rights" in the work of one of his intellectual heroes: the seventeenth-century English philosopher John Locke. Locke had advocated the toleration of Muslims—and Jews—following in the footsteps of a few others in Europe who had considered the matter for more than a century before him. Jefferson's ideas about Muslim rights must be understood within this older context, a complex set of transatlantic ideas that would continue to evolve most markedly from the sixteenth through the nineteenth centuries.
Amid the interdenominational Christian violence in Europe, some Christians, beginning in the sixteenth century, chose Muslims as the test case for the demarcation of the theoretical boundaries of their toleration for all believers. Because of these European precedents, Muslims also became a part of American debates about religion and the limits of citizenship.

The SDCC Files: Rep. John Lewis Comes To Comic-Con
By Arturo R. García
A real hero came to San Diego on July 20, as Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) arrived to unveil the first volume of March, a three-volume autobiographical graphic novel telling his own origin story.
"I hope that hundreds and thousands of young people across America and around the world, pick up this book and be inspired to engage in non-violent direct action," Lewis said. "When they see something that is not right, something that is unjust, that they be moved to protest."
Co-written by Andrew Aydin, a member of his staff, and illustrated by Nate Powell, the first volume of the story, due out on Aug. 13, flashes back to Lewis' youth in rural Alabama, and his eventual journey into what we now know to be the Civil Rights Movement, but was initially called "the Montgomery Method." Under the cut is my live report from their jam-packed session at the convention.

Must Read: Race, History, Colonialism and Assassin's Creed IV
Friend of the blog Evan Narcisse wrote an interesting take on playing through historical worlds while black:
The game begins in 1715, when European rule over the island was still firmly established. That means I might be traipsing around an island where some Frenchman with my last name owns someone who looks like my father. And that might make me wince a little. But Ismail also told me that Edward Kenway's first mate Adewale starts the game as a slave and becomes a free man over the course of the single-player story. Adewale will also be the focus of some of Black Flag's DLC.
Focusing on Adewale and touching on slavery as it might've been lived in the early 1700s moves the racial portrayal forward from last year's Assassin's Creed III: Liberation. The heroine of that Vita game was the child of a slave and had missions where she freed others from servitude. And, with confirmation that Aveline will also be playable in PlayStation-exclusive add-ons for the game, ACIV will have two prominent black characters where so many titles struggle to have even one.
Narcisse also explores his own family history and what he hopes to see reflected in the game play. Read the rest at Kotaku.

The Fleshtones turned out to be the most prolific and durable band to emerge out of New York's CBGB scene. The group defines the essence of garage rock: It's primal, groove-based, murky and more than a little unhinged. Peter Zaremba sings like a rockabilly zombie and plays the Farfisa like a speed-freaking Captain Nemo, while founder Keith Streng can make his guitar sound like a sitar, a siren, a chain saw and a rat in heat — sometimes all at once. The band's rhythm section is implacable and supple, handling horn-crazed rhythm and blues and the densest psychedelic trips and making even the silliest of go-go ghoul themes sound weirdly timeless. There could be no better band to close out a rock & roll showcase called Beat 'n' Soul.

Mary A. (Rose) Roshon(1921-2012)
Mary A. Roshon, 91, longtime Sunbury resident, passed away Thanksgiving, Thursday, November 22, 2012 at Bennington Glen Assisted Living in Marengo.
She was born on August 12, 1921 in Lawrence County to the late Eldon and Ora (Hamilton) Rose. On March 2, 1968 she married her beloved husband: Emerson "Woody" Roshon. They were partners in more than marriage, true soul mates.
For a brief time Mary worked in the dietary department of Riverside Hospital. Skilled with the needle and thread, she enjoyed quilting and was a longtime member of the Sunbury United Methodist Church and their Ruth's Circle.
She enjoyed gardening both flowers and vegetables and canning those treasures. Gifted in the kitchen, her meals were always by the clock. Easy going in nature, she will be remembered for her pleasant smile. A country girl until the very end, she was happiest being home on the farm caring for her family's every need.
Mary is survived by sons Edwin (Linda) Roshon of Sunbury and Danny (Carolyn) Roshon of Ostrander; grandchildren Wendy (George) Schreiber, Erin (Jim) Peters, Chris (Julie) Roshon, Kate Roshon (fiancée Keith Salyers) and Casey (Megan) Roshon; great-grandchildren Ashley and Eddie Schreiber and Jacob Peters; brother James (Ernestine) Rose of Columbus; nieces and nephew Sarah Rose, Vicki (Joe) McGuire and Tom (Ronda) Rose; and by great-nieces and nephews.
She was also preceded in death by her husband, sister Ruth Jenkins and brother W. Edward Rose.
Services were held Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at the DeVore- Snyder Funeral Home in Sunbury. Burial followed in Sunbury Memorial Park.
Memorial contributions may be made to Sunbury United Methodist Church or Odyssey Hospice.

Kenny Millar. Oh, do grow up.
This attitude that Mac is right no matter what idiotic thing they do coming from rabid Mac supporters is tripe. When the iMac came out there was no real way to transfer files off the d*** thing. One had to go out and purchase an external floppy. It came with a CD player. NOT a decent CD burner, but a CD player. It was as if the "design decision" included a home network to transfer all files created off the desktop, or the purchase of a (then expensive) external CD burner. Apple made these decision because it saves money not having to support multiple standards. It is all about being cheap.

'Marching 100' will play Pasadena in 2014
One of the South's best-regarded high school bands will play on one of the nation's premiere stages in early 2014, when the St. Augustine Marching 100 takes part in the Tournament of Roses parade.
Tournament of Roses officials on Wednesday named 18 bands that will perform in the 125th edition of the parade. Two more will eventually be added to the lineup.
In a news release, the organization said bands were selected based on a variety of criteria, including musicianship, marching ability and entertainment or special interest value.
Each submitted an entry package of photos, video footage and letters of recommendation.
The annual parade -- long associated with the Rose Bowl football game -- runs 5.5 miles through Pasadena. Bands also participate in several events preceding the parade itself.
The two bands not yet announced will be from the universities competing in the Rose Bowl football game.
