I would hope that you're all sufficiently sophisticated to understand that I am, after all, proudly a cat. Therefore, when I talk to you about the following cat-related books I do so from a cat-centric point of view. Humans might have an entirely different interpretation of what makes these books special, and frankly, I couldn't care less. Go talk to my assistant if you have a problem.
Before going any further, allow me to cautiously recommend PURR . . . CHILDREN'S BOOK ILLUSTRATORS BRAG ABOUT THEIR CATS, which is edited by Michael J. Rosen. On one paw, this is a celebration of fabulous artists and the illustrator cats who made them great. What's more, money from this book goes to some pro-cat people at The Company of Animals Fund. On the other paw, illustrator cats are media hounds. I know it's harsh to call a cat a dog, but I ask you: how many times has a writer cat slaved away to inspire and perfect a cat story only to find that the finished book features a cat that looks shockingly like the one who owns the illustrator?
THE ALLEY CAT'S MEOW by Kathi Appelt, illustrated by Jon Goodell (Harcourt, 2002). This jazzy tale (or is that tails?) features the love story of Red and Ginger. The text sings and the illustrations dance. Unfortunately, a scanned and reduced image can't do Goodell's work justice. Find a copy of this book. Study the illustrations. Really, jazzy. Read The Story Behind The Story from Kathi Appelt.
ALLISON by Allen Say (Houghton Mifflin, 1997). When she tries on her kimono, Allison realizes that she looks more like Mei Mei, the doll she's always had, than she looks like either of her parents. A heroic and loving cat adopts Allison, who then understands there are many ways to create a family.
A BEAUTIFUL FEAST FOR A BIG KING CAT by John Archambault, Bill Martin Jr. with illustrations by Bruce Degen (HarperCollins, 1994). I hesitate to recommend this book because it depicts a quite rare event -- a cat being outsmarted by a mouse. However, I've decided to be the bigger feline and admit that human kittens may find this tale entertaining whether they should or not.
BLACK CAT by Christopher Myers (Scholastic, 1999). Black is cool and hot, grand and bad, a city dweller with attitude in a slick urban terrain. Bold, magnificient graphics. A 2000 Coretta Scott King Honor Book for Illustration. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
BOOKSTORE CAT by Cindy Wheeler (Random House, 1994). This is a Random House Step Into Reading Book for children in preschool through grade one. Mulligan, a perfectly competent bookstore cat, has his premises well under control until facing adversity of a fashion most fowl. Young readers will enjoy the humor, even though it may be a bit at Mulligan's expense.
CAT HEAVEN by Cynthia Rylant (Blue Sky, 1997). This book comforts me.
CAT PARADE by Bethany Roberts, illustrated by Diane Greenseid (Clarion, 1996). This story shows how one nefarious mouse can utterly disrupt a fine, feline cultural event.
CAT UP A TREE by John and Ann Hassett (Houghton Mifflin, 1998). A hilarious book about forty cats and their good friend, Nana Quimby, who tries to find help to get them out of a tree. I cannot say enough good about this book, which helps me learn to count by fives (without using my claws), and has a utterly sublime ending.
CAT, WHAT IS THAT? by Tony Johnston, paintings by Wendell Minor (HarperCollins, 2001). A lyrical, poetic celebrations of all things cat. A great read-aloud for very young children, an excellent study example for writing a successful rhyming picture book.
CAT, YOU BETTER COME HOME by Garrison Keillor with paintings by Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher (Viking, 1995). Puff runs away to find fame and fortune only to realize the joys of his everyday life. Rocking good fun.
THE DOG WHO HAD KITTENS by Polly M. Robertus, illustrated by Janet Stevens (Holiday House, 1991). Basset hound Baxter cares for Eloise's kittens and then wins her friendship.
DONA FLOR: A TALL TALE ABOUT A GIANT WOMAN WITH A GREAT BIG HEART by Pat Mora, illustrated by Raul Colon (Knopf, 2005). In this heartwarming and humorous original tall tale, Doña Flor is a giant woman living in a tiny southwestern village. She shows great kindness to her neighbors, especially children, and loves to read. One day, an enormous roar echoes, frightening all those Doña Flor loves. Whatever will she do? And who's doing all that roaring? Ages 4-up. More on this title from Cynsations.
THE GOOD LUCK CAT by Joy Harjo, illustrated by Paul Lee (Harcourt, 2000). Aunt Shelly says that Woogie is a good luck cat. As he survives one scrape after another, her analysis seems to be right on target. But one day when he doesn't come home, we wonder if this good luck cat's ninth life has run out. This is a delightful look at the friendship between a cat and a young girl. And it's -- yahoo! -- a children's picture book with Indian characters wherein Native culture isn't the main focus. Of course, it's wonderful to have children read accurate, respectful books that touch on Indian themes; however, they should be balanced with charming stories like this one that depict daily life.
GRANDMA'S CAT by Helen Ketteman, illustrated by Marsha Winborn (Houghton Mifflin, 1996). A story for pre-schoolers about how a deserving girl befriends a cat. I WALK AT NIGHT by Lois Duncan with paintings by Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher (Viking, 2000). A housecat slinks into the night in this lyrical picture book with exquisite illustrations. A marvellous study on the nature of cats, both cuddly and fierce.
I AM TAMA, LUCKY CAT: A JAPANESE LEGEND by Wendy Henrichs, illustrated by Yoshiko Jaeggi (Peachtree, 2011). Long ago, in Japan [Did I mention that my Greg person's ancestors originated in Japan?] or so the story goes, there lived a poor but devout holy man who was barely keeping his temple together. Tama appeared, raising his paw in the traditional Japanese come-to-me greeting. [Some cats are known to do this. I do not]. The cat adopted the holy man and stayed at the temple. One day, during a thunderstorm, Tama greeted a rich samurai feudal lord who was taking refuge under a tree outside the temple grounds. [I make no comment on whether it was a good idea for Tama to have been outdoors during a thunderstorm.] The samurai approached the cat an instant before the tree was struck by lightning. [See?] In gratitude, the samurai lord bestowed lavish gifts, became a friend to the monk, and restored the temple to prosperity. [Is it true? I don't know, but you can buy Maneki Neko figurines just about anywhere these days.] In any case, I AM TAMA is a lovely story, freshly told, with very nice lush illustrations.
A KITTEN'S YEAR by Nancy Raines Day, illustrated by Anne Mortimer (HarperCollins, 2000). Gorgeous gray tabby kitten discovers pouncing, napping, hiding, and every month of that first year. For all you readers, who like to look at beautifully realistic art and say, "Awwww . . . ."
THE LOYAL CAT by Lensey Namioka and illustrated by Aki Sogabe (Browndeer, 1995). Recognized with a Golden Kite Award by the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. As owner of a children's writer, trust me that this is a significant award. It should go to more cat books.
MOUSE PAINT by Ellen Stoll Walsh (Harcourt, 1989). Some kittens may think it's about three mice who experiment with colors using paint. Really, it is the story of a cat who is lulling his rodent adversaries into overconfidence by pretending to sleep.
MRS. MERRIWETHER'S MUSICAL CAT by Carol Purdy, illustrated by Petra Mathers (Putnam, 1994). A cat named Beethoven helps Mrs. Merriwether and her students with their piano playing.
ONE DARK NIGHT by Hazel Hutchins, illustrated by Susan Kathleen Hartung (Viking, 2001). A warm and suspenseful tale about a Mama Cat and her kittens on the night of a big storm. The text is simple and poetic. A purrrfect story for bedtime whether you're furry or not.
PADDIWAK AND COZY by Berlie Doherty, illustrated by Alison Bartlett (Dial, 1989). Paddiwak is a very proper tuxedo cat whose life is turned upside down by the arrival of crazy cat Cozy. Will these two different personalities ever learn to get along?
PARIS CAT by Leslie Baker (Little Brown, 1999). Alice chases a mouse into the streets of Paris and suddenly finds herself far from her human Annie. At first the lovely city captivates Alice as she explores various places, including the Louvre and is confronted with pesky dogs. But after a near tumble into the Seine, it's time to find Annie again. Where could she be? The book is a good choice for French kittens (whose humans won't be lured abroad) and has pretty watercolor paintings. Ages 4-up. (This Baker human also has an out-of-print book called THE ANTIQUE STORE CAT that you may want to check out of your library or special order).
PUSS IN BOOTS by Charles Perrault, translated by Malcolm Arthur, and illustrated by Fred Marcellino (Square Fish). The story concerns the third son of a recently-deceased miller who is at first disappointed that his share of the inheritance is the eponymous cat. Indeed, the miller's son at first wants to eat the cat and make a muff out of his fur. Hiss. The son, however, is wise enough to listen to Puss and buys him a pair of boots. Through the ingenuity of Puss, the miller's son eventually comes to marry a princess and inherit a vast estate. There are also ogres and much feasting and other hijinks. Enjoy. And, remember, cats are not to be trifled with.
TABBY: A STORY IN PICTURES by Aliki (HarperCollins, 1995). I must confess a certain bias here. This book does feature a tabby, and I am, after all, a tiger cat (often misnamed "tabby").
WHAT DO AUTHORS DO? by Eileen Christelow (Clarion, 1995). Max, the hero, works with a children's book author-illustrator. Of course, the book also happens to be the story of an author and Max's author-illustrator and their paths to finished books. I seem to recall that a dog named Rufus is involved. But be sure to pay extra close attention to Max. The cat is the thing.
WHEN CATS DREAM by Dav Pilky (Orchard, 1992). This book lets readers peak into the crazy and amazing world of dreaming cats.
WHERE IS THAT CAT? by Carol Greene, illustrated by Loretta Krupinski (Hyperion, 1999). Miss Perkins invites Fitz in from the cold and then puts an ad in the newspaper so someone will adopt him. Each time an interested party arrives though, Fitz seems to disappear (or does he? young readers will love hunting for Fitz in the illustrations). Not to worry though. Fitz knows where to find his home.
WINDOWS WITH BIRDS by Karen Ritz (Boyds Mills, 2010). The poignant tale of a cat who is uprooted from his charming home and moved by his people to a high-rise apartment. Understandably overcome by the trauma, the cat hides in the closet and in the box springs, causing inadvertent distress to his small human. Eventually, though, the cat comes to realize that things are not as bad as he initially thought. An altogether exquisite and sweet picture book experience.
WON TON: A CAT TALE TOLD IN HAIKU by Lee Wardlaw, illustrated by Eugene Yelchin (Henry Holt, 2011). WON TON is the story of the eponymous cat -- a Burmese, I believe -- who meets his boy in a shelter. He goes to his new home and, at first and understandably, investigates the underneath of the bed and is unwilling to partake of the victuals. Nevertheless, in the end, he decides that, perhaps, the boy is worth keeping, although he is not a fan of the name the boy insists on bestowing upon him. Note: I will confess that I, myself, discovered my people at a shelter in Chicago. WON TON elegantly captures the experience, with just the right amount of feline insouciance (and I congratulate Won Ton for his mastery of haiku -- human rhyming metrical schemes are somewhat difficult for both Felis and Panthera, although the latter would never admit it.). The drawings are handsome and expressive and nicely evoke Won Ton's stoic appraisals of, and reactions to, his circumstances.
YES, VIRGINIA THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS by Cyndy Szekeres (Scholastic, 1997). As you probably already know this is a retelling of that true life moment when a lovely young kitty named Virginia O'Hanlon asked a major New York newspaper about St. Nick. It's cute, it's sweet, and it's Christmas-y.
These books are reviewed from Sebastain's point of view. Another cat or a human might have a different take on them.
THE CAT WHO LOVED MOZART by Patricia Austin, illustrated by Henri Sorenson (Holiday House, 2001). This picture book illustrates in words and oil paint the slow growing affection between a prickly one-time stray named Amadeus and a young girl named Jennifer as well as the a prickly relationship between Jennifer and her playing the works of Mozart. I like this book because, like me, Amadeus was named after a great composor. Also, I was a prickly one-time stray once myself. Ages 4-up.
GINGER by Charlotte Voake (Candlewick, 1997). Ginger has been deprived of the company of a kitten! She's a poor only cat. But, alas, when her human brings in a bouncy, bouncy, bouncy kitten, Ginger feels pushed out of her regular haunts and actually *leaves the house* (never leave your house, kittens!) Luckily, her human brings Ginger back. But now it looks like Ginger and the kitten will never get along. So the kitten sets in with a solution. The moral is: little kittens are the smartest. Ages 3-up.
TOP CAT by Lois Ehlert (Harcourt, 1998). Top Cat can spout quite a rhyme but doesn't appreciate the company of the new kitten. Eventually, Top Cat wears of starting up his attacks and teaches the kitten the feline ropes. The moral is: don't mess with your alpha cat. Ages 4-up.
THE GRANNYMAN by Judith Byron Schachner (Dutton, 1999). Poor old Simon's family has taken good care of him, but he's beginning to feel less useful these days. He wonders if his ninth life is up, and then here comes a... kitten! Ages 4-up.

Wichita Falls, Tex. native and Attorney General Greg Abbott announced yesterday (Tuesday, Jan. 14) that he has raised $11.5 million in the second half of 2013 in his drive to become governor of Texas, according to the Dallas Morning News. The top law enforcement officer in Texas said he now has $27 million on hand for his pursuit of the Republican nomination this spring.
He also said he has raised $16.3 million for the year of 2013.
Wendy Davis, the leading Democratic candidate for governor announced Tuesday she has raised $12 million. She is favored to win the Democratic primary while Abbott is favored to win the GOP primary. They would then face off in November's general election.
Abbott has made his name as Texas 50th Attorney General by collecting record numbers of child support payments, prosecuting FLDS polygamists for sexually assaulting underage girls, defending religious liberties of Texans in front of the U.S. Supreme and defending the rights of individuals in front of the Supreme Court to own firearms in addition to many other accomplishments.
Davis vaulted into the national spotlight with her filibuster in the Texas Legislature last summer against a bill which would limit abortions to only the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. While her filibuster was temporarily successful in stopping passage of the bill, Governor Rick Perry then called a special session for the purpose of passing the bill.
The abortion limiting bill was passed in the next special session.
Perry created this race by announcing he would not seek re-election. Rumors are he will seek the presidency.
This race between Abbott and Davis will prove a million dollars isn't what it used to be.
Davis entered the race in October and received $3.5 million from the Texas Victory Committee, a joint effort by Davis campaign and the group Battleground Texas. Battleground is an organization started by former campaign aides to President Barack Obama. Its goal is to register more Democratic voters and help the party compete in future presidential elections.
Abbott's aides emphasized that 97 per cent of his campaign contributions have come from inside the Lone Star State.
Abbott's campaign manager Wayne Hamilton reported in a written statement also released yesterday that, "This is a campaign by Texans for Texans and Greg Abbott is humbled and excited by the widespread support from across the state."
Abbott visited his hometown of Wichita Falls earlier in the campaign and was greeted by an enthusiastic crowd at his boyhood home on Randel Drive in this city of 105,000 which is a stone's throw from the Red River.
Davis currently serves as state senator representing Fort Worth. Her pro-abortion stance in the legislature led to national attention and appearances on CNN, MSNBC, NBC and other national outlets.
Democratic donors recently met at the home of prominent trial attorney Lisa Blue Baron for a Davis fundraiser. The goal of the Davis campaign is to raise $45 million to fight Abbott in the fall election.
Abbott would become the first Wichita Falls native elected governor if he wins. James V. Allred was a resident of Wichita Falls when he was elected in the 1930s, but he was born in Bowie, Tex.

Susan Sarandon is now speaking out and admitting to having an affair with David Bowie. This famous actress from shows such as "Mike & Molly" and "30 Rock" has shocked a lot of people with this announcement. On Saturday, New York Daily News shared what she had to say about this affair.
She shared that they got together back in the 80s while they were making a film together. Susan shared that they actually split because she didn't want to have children. She went on to say, ""I wasn't supposed to have kids and I'm the oldest of nine and had mothered all of them, so I wasn't ever in a mode where I was looking to settle down and raise a family, so that definitely changes the gene pool you're dipping into." Susan did go on to have children though.
Susan was asked if she did drugs with David Bowie and went on to say, "Yeah, I'm not new to the idea of mushrooms. I don't really like chemical things, really. Timothy Leary was a friend of mine, so that acid was nice and pure, but I'm not really looking for chemicals, and I don't like to feel speedy. But I've done Ayahuasca and I've done mushrooms and things like that, I like those drugs in the outdoors—I'm not a city-tripper. My attitude about marijuana or anything is, 'Don't be stoned if you have to pretend you're not,' so I'd never do drugs if I was taking care of my kids."
Susan Sarandon and David Bowie were able to keep things quiet about their affair after it happened. They didn't want everyone to know for some reason. Now Susan is speaking out and telling the world that yes she did sleep with David Bowie and she also enjoyed drugs with him. Her life has slowed down a lot since that time.

The Western Civilization Project
Urge your local school board to adopt it!
Have you noticed the increasing anti-Western rhetoric in some of our public school systems? Have you witnessed the decreasing level of pride and appreciation for American history and Western civilization in our youngest citizens? Chances are that you have. Now there is something you can do about it.
Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO) has introduced a resolution encouraging local school boards and state departments of education to ensure that the concepts and ideals embodied by Western civilization are effectively taught in public schools. He is also encouraging state legislatures and local school boards to adopt a form of the resolution. Below you will find a copy of a sample school board resolution you may take to your local board of education.
These resolutions simply affirm the value of teaching Western civilization and its historic accomplishments. It does not identify curriculum or set specific guidelines for classroom instructions. Therefore, what public official could oppose such a resolution, unless for the further degradation of Western values in place of an "equal playing field" for all cultures and civilizations?
Eagle Forum supports Congressman Tancredo and his aim to educate our children in the rich history and accomplishments of Western civilization. Please introduce the sample resolution to your local school board today!
Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121
Whereas the contributions of Western civilization to the world include democratic institutions and the rule of law, the concept of universal human rights, the development of science and technology, and religious tolerance;
Whereas if young people are not taught to understand and appreciate the values and culture Americans share, the United States will continue to become increasingly vulnerable to social division, mutual distrust and animosity; and
Whereas an appreciation for the accomplishments of Western civilization, including democratic institutions and the rule of law, individual liberty, the concept of universal human rights, the development of science and technology and religious tolerance can provide this common set of values and purpose:
Now, therefore be it resolved, this school board does hereby, recognize that teaching young people to have an appreciation of Western civilization is central to the development and maintenance of a vibrant, united, and enduring American culture; and
That this school board will ensure that appropriate curricula and textbooks are utilized to instill the concepts, ideals, values, and accomplishments of Western Civilization effectively in all students who graduate from our high schools.

St. Paul, Minn. – There's a serious need to do something about the parking meters in the city of St. Paul. As a result, the city is planning to replace almost 1200 parking meters, but they're not getting new meters. The new plan is kiosks, and it's going to cost those who regularly park on the city's busiest streets quite a bit more.
The plan is to have a central place where people will pay to park in their spot. There will be no need to attach a receipt to the dashboard any more, but the price will go up by at least $.25 per hour.
One convenient aspect of the kiosk system is that it will accept credit cards and debit cards. People will no longer be able to use up the time someone else paid for though, a convenience people who park at meters often enjoy. That is because when you park you will not be able to tell what time the last person paid for. There will be a public meeting to discuss the proposal for the change.

I'm interested in installing Linux Mint on old laptops and giving them away. During initial installation, I'm going to add VNC (or other tools to allow remote support), but interested in leaving the installation similar to that when you receive a new computer from a major vendor.
Example, if you buy a Dell machine and power it own, it asks you basic questions, Full Name, username, password, timezone, etc.
Is there a way I can setup Ubuntu (or Linux Mint preferred) to allow run a similar wizard on next reboot? See this as essential, since I'm not likely to ever meet the person that receives the machine I've just built. Figured it would be good to have that 'initial setup' wizard to make the person feel as if they are making the machine their own/custom.

Thanks for posting this highly informative documentary, Marc.

Artie Shaw, the man, wasn't as nice as one could believe when listening to his mostly happily swinging sounds.

He pretty much avoided getting too close to other people, to his fans, his children included.

As much as I love his music, there is a certain smooth-, a cleanness, I even would call it an intellectual cold, which you won't even find in much of Stan Kenton's music who was the other perfectionist of the big band leaders.

Regarding perfection, Glenn Miller's band came close, but was more "human", likable with all those popular charts, the sweet singers, and family-like appearance.

My favorite Shaw band of his four main orchestras he led between 1938 and 1949/50 is the 1938-39 outfit.

It had the grooviest rhythm section, and the best of all big band birdies: Helen Forrest, the so called "Madonna of the 2nd Chorus".

Gee, how I love those great broadcasts, made between 1938 & 1939 (I think I have all the LP's) and it's very unfortunate that they started to preserve them for posterity *after* Lady Day had left the band.

Artie Shaw was a very outspoken character, and has said some pretty mean things about other musicians; his music reflected the nicer side of the man, and we can only be thankful that he hasn't left just his books, but a rich, and almost entirely recorded musical heritage.

Even the beginning of his career as a band leader has been recorded, his legendary "Interlude In B-Flat" from the Howard Theater in 1936:

Artie Shaw - we'll be talking about him for years to come. He could've make a serious reputation from his writing alone, and if you can find a copy of Baffler #8 you'll find an excerpt from 'Sideman' along with a fine profile of Shaw.

Thank you for the videos - anything with Gary Giddins in it is already a treat.

 Also, seeing how a Friday afternoon in the Jazzwax office is spent, I think to myself for the 1000th time "I want to be Marc Myers when I grow up."

STARKVILLE, Miss. - After a two-week break from action, the Mississippi State cross country squads head to Charlotte, N.C., for the Charlotte Invitational on Sept. 28.
The Bulldogs are coming off top finishes at the Commodore Classic on Sept. 14, where the men recorded a second-place finish in the 8K to top conference foe Ole Miss. At the Vanderbilt-hosted meet, the Lady Bulldogs earned a fourth-place finish in the 5K.
The event, hosted by the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, will kick off with the women's 6K on Saturday at 8:45 a.m., followed by the men's 8K at 9:20 a.m. at McAlpine Creek Park.
"We expect to run well in our biggest non-conference meet," junior Matt Weickert said. "It is the first opportunity to score quality points toward Nationals, so continuing our success of pack running is critical."
The top seven runners for each squad in the respective races will count toward the team scores.
"The last two weeks have prepared us for a harder and more sustained race effort," Weickert said.
After this weekend's showing in the Queen City, MSU will prepare for the Crimson Classic on Oct. 18 in Tuscaloosa.

I'm old but well preserve your puzzle all over

At Chicago's LaSalle Street Metra train station (This horse is on the east side of Financial Place between Congress Parkway and Van Buren Street.) there is a horse. No one has ridden this equine. Could it be because Metra trains provide better transportation than this horse?
Metra's Rock Island District/Heritage Corridor goes to/from Joliet, Ill. Every weekday, this route transports thousands of commuters to and from Chicago. This route has eight zones: A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H. The quickest time from Chicago to Joliet is one hour and three minutes.
Normally, any horse can only transport one person. A sturdy horse in great health may be able to transport two persons (each weighing no more than 160 pounds) 20 miles. It will certainly take this horse more than an hour to go from Chicago to Joliet. Even Pegasus the Flying Horse cannot transport thousands of persons from Chicago to Joliet in one hour.
The LaSalle Street Station horse is a statue art exhibit, and of course, it has not carried anyone, nor can it carry anyone. (It is difficult to determine the architect.) Its construction material is probably bronze. It stands with its left, front leg raised, and armor appears to be over most of its body. (It is not wearing a saddle.) On a pedestal, I estimate its hooves (the ones that are down) to begin 15 feet above ground level. From erect ears to the bottom of its right, front hoof, I estimate it to be 5.5 inches high. I estimate the distance from its jutting knee to its tail end to be 6 inches long.
At night, lights which are under it give this equine a red, green, blue or yellow appearance. (You will never see such colors on actual horses.) Indeed, most humans have never seen actual horses in horsey settings whether the environs are ranches, in the wild or at racetracks. (Are horses common in China? Are these equines common in India?) Horses are common on television in western series like Gunsmoke and Rawhide.
Horse statues are scattered throughout Chicago's, many parks. Ulysses S. Grant is riding one. Two Amerindians are riding some. There may be horse statues at Arlington Park, Hawthorne Race Course and Maywood Park.

Bühlmann, M; Hänni, M (2011). Minority participation: Institutional remedies against the political exclusion of ethnic minorities. In: 3-Länder-Tagung, Basel, 13 January 2011 - 14 February 2011.
|Accepted Version
In this paper, we investigated the impact of different institutions on ethnic minorities' political participation. Based on the results of a hierarchical cross-country comparison, we found that individuals belonging to ethnic minorities were less likely to participate in national elections than members of the majority groups within the same country. We tested whether this negative effect of belonging to an ethnic minority group on political participation could be attenuated by inclusive institutions such as suffrage rights, horizontal power-sharing institutions (Proportional electoral system PR, effective proportionality, the number of government parties) or vertical power-dividing institutions in terms of federalism (subnational elections and subnational authority) attenuated the negative effect of belonging to an ethnic
minority group. The results of multilevel analyses showed that suffrage rights attenuate the negative effect of minority status on political participation. In contrast, power dividing enhances the negative effect of belonging to an ethnic minority group on political participation.

"Mob Wives" has its share of drama. On Feb. 24, Radar Online was able to talk to Alicia DiMichele Garafalo and she is admitting to have her feelings hurt by cast member Renee Graziano.
The thing that upset her the most was that Renee talked about her fraud case behind her back. She didn't expect her to say the thing she had to say about her. Alicia does say that she has forgiven her for what happened though even though it was hard to do. It is great to see they have moved on.
She went on to say that they are in a good place now though. Fans are seeing what happened a long time ago. "Mob Wives" has been done with their filming for a while now so they have moved on and are doing okay with it all. Of course the finale is still left and fans will get to see some drama unfold.
"Mob Wives" airs new episodes on VH1 each week. It has already been renewed for another season.

It's often said the eyes of a child can melt the hearts of even the toughest men, and a photo posted by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson on Sunday shows just how true that statement really is. The photo shows Johnson fully dressed in a movie costume with long, curly hair, covered in sweat, sitting in a chair across from a tiny child playing the game loved by children everywhere called paddy cake.
Johnson posted the adorable photo on his Twitter profile with a caption that said: "When a 2yr old [2-year-old] asks Hercules to play paddy cake … well .. he plays paddy cake." The photo shows Johnson on a movie set, dressed in his "Hercules" costume playing paddy cake with a little blond-hair child. While Johnson didn't identify the child, but MTV.com reports that the child is one of Johnson's co-stars.
"Hercules" is the movie Johnson nearly missed out on according to an interview with Toronto Sun published on Saturday. Johnson reportedly sustained a major injury in an accident in the wrestling ring just before filming "Hercules." Johnson reportedly endured 150 days of "intense physiotherapy and physical training" in order to fulfill his role in the film. Although, Johnson says MGM was forced to push back filming the movie by two weeks, which cost them $1 million. Nonetheless, the cast and crew began filming "Hercules" in mid 2013, and just one year later the movie is set to hit theaters on July 25, 2014.
Johnson rose to fame after joining the cast of World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment (WWE) in 1996. He began his wrestling career as "Rocky Maivia," and later took on his persona as "The Rock: The people's champion." He made his big screen debut as "The Scorpion King" in the 2001 film "The Mummy Returns."
Johnson has starred in 26 films including "Hercules," which opens Friday. In addition, he has two films set to release in 2015 including "Fast & Furious 7."

Bradley Cooper Asks Jennifer Lawrence: "What are Spanx?" (VIDEO)
Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence played a round of "Know Your Co-Star" on MTV, wherein the Silver Linings Playbook actors had to answer a series of questions testing their knowledge of each other.
Joshua Horowitz quizzed Cooper on Lawrence's character in The Hunger Games, while she was tested about Cooper's film history and his physical attributes.
Lawrence then asked her co-star a question of her own: "How many pairs of Spanx was I wearing at the Oscars?"
A dumbfounded Cooper took a long pause before quietly asking, "What are Spanx?"
It's pretty amusing.
Oh, and in case you're curious — Lawrence donned two pairs of Spanx at the 2010 Academy Awards.
Check out the video below!
What do you think of the chemistry between Cooper and Lawrence?

In the Penguin edition, translated by Cecil Parrott, The Good Soldier Svejk is mildly funny because of the thick-headed stupidity of Svejk, and one episode seems to follow another, without you ever getting a feeling for his personality. As you get used to the non-sequitur style of his responses to bureaucratic figures, the humor becomes stale, and this becomes one of those books that you read just because you feel an obligation to do so, just because you've seen this work referred to reverently so many times.
But the new translation by Zdenek Sadlon and Emmit Joyce produces a very different effect. In this version, Svejk is a subtle and clever character who deliberately pretends to be stupid, and uses this stupidity to mock authority, through his refusal to play the game of life by their rules. Here you laugh with Svejk, rather than at him, and the more you get to know him, the more you like him. In fact, the difference in tone is set right at the beginning, where the translators explain that Svejk is pronounced "Shvake" and rhymes with "bake", and they say, "So, now you're ready to Svejk and bake!"
In many passages, you see some of the same words and phrases in both editions. But in the Parrott translation, the effect is stilted and unnatural. You move along at a halting pace, while in the new translation, the narrative flows smoothly, letting you focus on the character. Parrott includes numerous footnotes to explain the terminology in the text, while the new version generally makes the text self-explanatory, only rarely resorting to footnotes. Often Parrott uses an archaic term that sends you to a dictionary or distances the story from your personal experience. The new translation uses contemporary terms. Parrott judiciously avoids "dirty words"; while the new version uses common everyday obscenity. Even the punctuation in the Parrott edition distances the reader from the story, using single quotes (') where modern usage calls for double quotes ("), omitting the period after "Mr" and "Mrs", omitting commas where they would be natural, and letting sentences ramble on, perhaps to faithfully or literally render the original, but making it difficult for the reader to follow the train of thought.
Consider the opening of the book:
'And so they've killed our Ferdinand,' [footnote] said the charwoman to Mr Svejk, who had left military service years before, after having been finally certified by an army medical board as an imbecile, and now lived by selling dogs -- ugly, mongrel monstrosities whose pedigrees he forged.
Apart from this occupation he suffered from rheumatism and was at this very moment rubbing his knees with Elliman's embrocation.
'Which Ferdinand, Mrs Muller?' he asked, going on with the massaging, 'I know two Ferdinands. One is a messenger at Prusa's, the chemist's, and once by mistake he drank a bottle of hair oil there. And other is Ferdinand Kokoska who collects dog manure. Neither of them is any loss.'
'Oh no, sir, it's His Imperial Highness, the Archduke Ferdinand, from Konopiste, the fat churchy one.'
"So they've done it to us," said the cleaning woman to Mr. Svejk. "They've killed our Ferdinand."
Svejk had been discharged from military service years ago when a military medical commission had pronounced him to be officially an imbecile. Now, he was making his living by selling dogs, ugly mongrel mutants that he sold as purebreds by forging their pedigrees. In addition to this demeaning vocation, Svejk also suffered from rheumatism and was just now rubbing his aching knees with camphor ice.
"Which Ferdinand, Mrs. Muller?" he asked. "I know two Ferdinands. One is the pharmacist Prusa's delivery boy, who drank up a whole bottle of hair potion once by mistake. And then, I know one Ferdinand Kokoska, who collects dog turds. Neither one would be much of a loss."
"But Mr. Svejk! They killed the Archduke Ferdinand, the one from Konopste, the fat one, the religious one."
The consequences become apparent almost immediately. In Parrott, Svejk's occupation -- selling "mongrel monstrosities whose pedigrees he forged" -- is just one of a number of odd facts jumbled together in rapid succession. You stumble forward in the text just remembering that this is a stupid man who sells ugly dogs.
In contrast, the diction in the new translation flows naturally and puts Svejk in charge of his own destiny "selling dogs, ugly mongrel mutants that he sold as purebreds by forging their pedigrees." This man makes a living by fooling people. That's hardly what you'd expect of an "imbecile". Rather, it's what you'd expect of someone smart enough to get discharged from the military as an imbecile -- a complex and interesting character, who can challenge and beat the establishment, not by confronting it head-to-head, but by doing and saying everything it asks of him, with an innocent and compliant smile. If you enjoyed Heller's Catch-22, you'll enjoy the Good Soldier Svejk. But Svejk is a far more subtle and complex and interesting character than Yossarian. Here we have a unique and comic form of rebellion. Here we have a character whose unassuming behavior repeatedly shows up the stupidity of the people and the system that have labeled him as stupid. Here we have an ordinary man-of-the-street repeatedly tripping up officers and government officials, making a mockery of them, while seeming to maintain a childlike, almost holy innocence. He's a confidence man posing as a holy fool. His is the wisdom of the streets, the wisdom of the downtrodden playing on the naivete of those in authority.
So the new translation is a "must read," but where can you find it? It was published by the translators themselves, rather than by a major publishing company. Hence you can't find it on the shelves of physical book stores and you probably won't find a copy in your local library. But you can buy it online in a print-on-demand edition, either from the print-on-demand site -- www.1stbooks.com -- or at Amazon.com. Look for "The Fateful Adventures of the Good Soldier Svejk." This edition only includes "book one," but that's a self-contained work that reads like a complete novel. And if enough people order this volume, hopefully the translators will soon make the rest available as well.
I placed my order at the 1st Books Web site and paid by credit card -- $10.95, plus standard shipping. Five days later the book arrived at my house -- an attractive, professional looking, easy to read, and well bound paperback book.
If the word spreads, this way of producing and distributing books could and should become the norm. With no waste in printing and distributing and warehousing large quantities of books that people don't want, the costs and risks of book publishing could diminish greatly. And that could lead to an increase in the variety and quality of books readily available to the public. In other words, today, thanks to the Internet as a means of connecting buyers and sellers, we are seeing the beginnings of a major revolution in book publishing, still long before electronic books begin to replace paper.

'Joan Crawford for Today!'
The shoulder pads were back on the Maison Martin Margiela catwalk in Paris Monday.
For the past few seasons, Belgian-born designer Martin Margiela has been playing with a triangular silhouette. On Monday, a collection of highly tailored jackets with futuristic shoulder pads wrapped up a show of lightweight dresses and flesh-toned stretch bodysuits paired with tight black skirts of varying lengths. Complementing the outfits were wedge heels and opaque shield sunglasses.
"This is a Joan Crawford for today!" said Neiman Marcus fashion director Ken Downing after the show. Neiman Marcus does not carry the Margiela label, but is exploring the possibility "depending on whether there are pieces at the showroom that are commercially viable."
Mr. Margiela is often considered a source of inspiration for young creative talents such as Nicholas Ghesquiere and Marc Jacobs. Mr. Margiela, formerly creative director at Hermès before his mentor Jean-Paul Gaultier stepped into the role, has been known to create clothing out of found objects, such as a corset made of leather gloves, and a shirt of broken dishes.
Lately, the Margiela label has been trying to turn the artistic appeal of the designer's looks into bigger sales.
The fashion house has been expanding over the past few years thanks in part to Renzo Rosso, the founder and chief executive of denim brand Diesel SpA, who has invested in the brand.
Sales at Margiela are expected to grow 40% to €56 million ($79.7 million), said Giovanni Pungetti, chief executive of Maison Martin Margiela and formerly head of Diesel's French operations.
"We are working to increase our visibility, but in a very Margiela way," including collaborating with boutiques and sponsoring museum exhibitions, Mr. Pungetti said. "We are in what we call the 'second phase' of our development."
Mr. Margiela is one of the world's most elusive designers. He doesn't do interviews or pose for photographs — and he eschews brand logos or other recognizable symbols on his clothes.
Employees at Maison Martin Margiela retail stores always wear white lab coats and sell garments like $750 white button down shirts that bear no discernible label — just a number.
"We want to sell our product, but not our brand," says Mr. Pungetti. – Rachel Dodes

Friday's thunder: 'It sounded like a drum'
Your pictures, videos, Tweets and posts
A wave of thunderstorms rolled through our area Friday morning - bringing with it some loud claps of thunder, a little bit of lightning and some cooling rain.
Five-year-old Kristen Ramirez was at her home in Santee when she saw a big flash flash of lightning followed by a loud bang of thunder.
"It sounded like a drum," she explained.
"Me and my brother were looking [out] the window," she said. "We were scared and we were running."
They ran to the couch and covered up with a blanket, which helped. Then, she put on her cheetah rain boots and headed outside because she loves the water.
She thought the rain was fun, as long as it wouldn't get in the way of her big plans.
"I was going to go to my swimming class…… I think I'm going," she said.
She hopes so, because after all, she sure does love water.

So you have just opened your business and your first week in business is going great until you learn that you were hacked. Now all of your customers data is out there for criminals to have fun with. Sound familiar? If this can happen to big "BOX" stores then this can happen to others. There are some precautions that you need to watch for and to do.
1. Network Security: This is one of the biggest areas for you to hit and hit hard. There are all kinds of firewalls for you to purchase but make sure that they are rated for business use and not home use. There are extra features on the business models then the home models. The other piece to network security is configuring the router that you just purchased. Make sure to change all passwords that are on the router and lock it down. There is no reason to leave open holes in your new router. If this sounds over whelming then hire an IT pro that you can trust.
2. Passwords: No please don't use "password" or "123456". Using passwords like this just makes it that much easier for the criminals to get in. Use passwords that have features that include: upper and lower case letters, numbers, and at least one special like !@#$%^&*, something like this.
3. Usernames and passwords for computers: No one likes having to sign on to a computer but all it takes is a terminal left alone and a thief can get in. Make sure employees are "Locking" their terminals when they walk away.
4. Destroy data: This is one of the last topics here that I am going to mention today. Ensure that your paper copies of receipts, and other data is shredded. You can either do this yourself if you only have 100 or less sheets everyday, or if you have so much paper to shred then contract with an outside company. Most of the time if there is enough paper to shred then they will leave a locked paper bin for you. As far as your digital data, when you upgrade a hard drive make sure that the old drive is taken care of right. Either by cleaning the drive (formatting) or by destroying the drive. This last way is my favorite. I like to use drills and hammers. Some may say that it is over kill but I can say no one will be able to get the data off of the drive when I am done.

Populations of endangered mammals are often small, fragmented and have low genetic variability that can reduce the ability to evolve in response to environmental changes. The endangered Ethiopian wolf (Canis simensis) is a habitat specialist restricted to six small, isolated pockets of Afroalpine habitat, with a total population of fewer than 500 adult animals. The degradation of the Ethiopian highlands because of human expansion is ever increasing, potentially leading to further population fragmentation and local extinctions. In order to assist Ethiopian wolf conservation management, we quantified the genetic diversity, population structure and patterns of gene flow of the species using up to 14 microsatellite loci. FST, analysis of molecular variance, principal coordinates analysis and Bayesian clustering analyses revealed geographic population structuring delimited by three mountain ranges, in concert with a previous study based on mitochondrial DNA. Bayesian analysis showed that current gene flow is low, unidirectional and limited to geographically proximate populations. Given the small census size and strong population structuring with low gene flow, demographic stochasticity is likely to be the highest threat to the long-term persistence of this species. The protection of the remaining suitable habitat, especially narrow ridges linking habitat patches within mountain blocks, is therefore essential. The genetic survey presented by this study provides vital and much needed information for the future effective management of Ethiopian wolf populations.

Why are the courier envelopes pre-paid and padded? Why do the idiots get them couriered back to an address of their convenience? Stick them in the cheapest envelopes, send them to the nearest PostShop and charge them for the cost of post and packaging when they pick them up.
Police should confiscate cellphones from motorists caught using them while driving.
Dog and Lemon Guide motoring commentator Clive Matthew-Wilson says police have the power to make motorists' lives "pure hell" if they are caught using the banned technology.
In the year to November 2011, 10,070 drivers were caught using cellphones. Last year, this figure rose to 12,973.
In the year to March 2012, 149 crashes were thought to have been at least partly caused by mobile use. Since 2007, 28 people have died on New Zealand roads in accidents said to have been caused by drivers using cellphones.
"Ticketing and fines are not changing driver behaviour. Immediate cellphone confiscation by police would hit cellphone users where it hurts," Mr Matthew-Wilson says.
"For many people, including business owners and employees, cellphones are now their primary means of communication. The loss of their cellphone, with all its contacts, would be devastating to most cellphone users, and a powerful motivation to change behaviour."
He told NBR ONLINE he has noticed a huge uptake in hands-free car kit technology, especially from businesses keen to stay connected while on the road.
"Large businesses especially have hands-free kits installed in their fleet. But there has been a tremendous resurgence recently in the use of phones while driving."
Wireless communication company Digital Logistics Group distributes Parrot Bluetooth technology. Spokesman Gary Davis says the kits are constantly in demand.
The company could hardly keep up with demand from installers in 2009, when cellphone use while driving was outlawed, but things are almost as busy now.
Mr Davis says one thing which keeps installers busy is the constant refit to new company lease vehicles.
Under Mr Matthew-Wilson's proposal to confiscate the phones, every police car would carry a pre-printed receipt book and a few pre-paid padded courier envelopes.
Instead of issuing a ticket, the officer would instruct the offending driver to write his or her address onto the envelope.
The officer would then place the cellphone into the envelope, seal it and arrange for a courier to pick up the envelope from the local police station. The offender would get his/her cellphone back by courier in a few days.

5 Comments & Questions
Tell the idiots that for a front-up fee of $20 or similar a padded prepaid envelope will be provided on the spot for them to self-address and seal that phone inside and the package will be put in a mail box in four weeks!
Simple, straight forward, no admin costs and one heck of a deterrent.
So where's the problem?
Like rearing kids or training dogs, be firm, be fair, give ample notice and stick to your word.
Why doesn't the government also get to tell us what colour underwear is or is not permissible?
I am not even sure it has been even prima facie shown, much less conclusively proven, that using them while driving increases danger (see eg, http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencenow/2012/08/why-cell-phone-bans-dont-w...) but just because some bureaucrats in Wellington decree suddenly it is a menace to society.
Even if it were dangerous, assuming arguendo, so what. Many things in life have an element of danger to them.
New Zealand is the only country in the world ridiculously obsessed with the road toll, and it seems to be police (and media) hysteria to justify more encroachment on the populace.
Life is dangerous, folks. Some politician in Wellington or some uneducated constable in Auckland is not going to protect you. We live on a small rock, circling a massive fireball in an infinitely cold, dark universe. Whoever promised you safety (except, of course, mommy politician and daddy policeman)?

Faced with the harsh, ever-changing realities of today's world, we've made it our mission to fully develop everything that is human in the individual. With our brand of whole-person education amid the working climate where adaptability is key, our graduates stand firm, knowing that every facet of their being can be fully utilized to catch up to the speed of life.
Students go through a common liberal arts curriculum in their first three years in the University. On their third year, they begin to take subjects in their chosen field of specialization. If they meet all academic requirements of the graduate program, they may graduate with a master's degree in five years.
Five -Year Programs
Undergraduate education under the College of Arts and Sciences not only prepares them for a specific specialization, but also gives them a well-rounded education that cultivates genuine intellectual discipline, a prerequisite to acquiring any specialized knowledge. After completing their undergraduate studies, they will move on to one of the Professional Schools or Institutes to pursue their chosen field of specialization, at the end of which, they receive a master's degree.
This two-step education process arises from the conviction that a college student who immediately pursues a specialization without the solid grounding that a liberal education provides will be ill-prepared for a lifelong process of learning, as well as the premise that professional excellence today demands ever-increasing specialization no longer adequately met by a bachelor's degree.
Currently, there are six five-year programs offered in the University:
Undergraduate (Four-Year) Programs
Other Graduate Programs
The University has a number of academic programs that are designed for practitioners in the areas of economics and education. These are:

Click here for details on this event and information on how to purchase tickets to the Rock Hall Ball!
Cleveland's own Alex Bevan will perform live at the Rock Hall on the Main Stage on Saturday, September 4th at 2 p.m. Singer/songwriter Bevan began his career in music nearly 40 years ago while working in bars, colleges and coffeehouses in his home of Northeast Ohio. Between 1971-1976, Bevan was the supporting act for artists like Billy Joel and Jimmy Buffett on their concerts through Cleveland. Alex will preview a few songs from his new recording "Fly Away" which is scheduled for late September release as well as some vintage material that has made him a popular local folk musician.buy tickets
