I came across this when looking through the patches_hold queue link that Bruce sent out. http://momjian.us/mhonarc/patches_hold/msg00162.html There is no patch or anything associated with it, just the suggestion that it be put in when 8.3 devel starts up. Just thought I'd put this back out there now that 8.3 devel has started, since I had just about forgotten about it until seeing it on that list... -- Putt's Law: Technology is dominated by two types of people: Those who understand what they do not manage.

Product Description
Thermal magnetic circuit breakers, like the HOM250GFI are commonly found in many residential Square D panels. The electromagnet characteristics of the HOM250GFI allow it to trip instantaneously under large surges in current (e.g., short circuits). A bimetallic strip within the HOM250GFI will respond to less extreme but longer-term over-current conditions. These breakers are very commonly used in homes across the United States. The HOMline breakers are used to protect lighting circuits, dishwashers, dryers, and lots of residential equipment. The ground fault version of this breaker is used to protect humans from electrocution around water sources: hot tubs or whirlpools and often in the kitchen or bathroom near sinks.
The HOM250GFI can be purchased from www.LiveWireSupply.com. It's always best to consult local utility requirements and code prior to installing this breaker.
Square D Molded Case Circuit Breakers, like the HOM250GFI are designed to provide circuit protection for low voltage distribution protection for low voltage distribution systems. They are described by NEMA as, "a device for closing and interrupting a circuit between separable contacts under both normal and abnormal conditions," and furthermore as, ". . . a breaker assembled as an integral unit in a supporting and enclosing housing of insulating material." The NEC describes them as, "A device designed to open and close a circuit by non-automatic means, and to open the circuit automatically on a predetermined overload of current, without injury to itself when properly applied within its rating."

Catalina: Pontiac to Get U.S. Version of Holden Ute
Page: [1]
Ok, so it's unlikely it will be called El Catalina, but, barring a further slide in the value of the U.S. dollar versus the Australian dollar, Pontiac will be the General Motors brand that sells a rebadged version of the Holden Ute stateside.
This news puts to rest hopes of GMC resurrecting the historic Caballero name for a car-based pickup, according to a story in this week's Automotive News.
Bob Lutz, GM's Vice Chairman of Product Development, told PickupTruck.com back in September that it looked likely the Holden Ute would make its way across the Pacific from the Aussie factory where it's produced. Mr. Lutz also expressed hopes that GMC would sell the utility as the new Caballero.
The Holden Ute is expected to join the 2008 G8 sedan and Commodore wagon to create a family of high-performance rear-wheel-drive cars in Pontiac's portfolio later this decade.
History buffs will note this won't be the first car-based pickup for Pontiac. Two prototype "El Catalinas" were used as parts haulers around the factory in 1959, years before the GMC Sprint or Caballero arrived. The El Catalinas were based on the Pontiac Catalina full size sedan. Jay Leno has also custom-built a third El Catalina, using a stock four door Catalina body.
We're expecting the new Pontiac pickup will debut in January during the North American International Auto Show. We'll be there!

text: Hi there - I've boiled down what I think to be a significant job dependency array bug to a simple test case. The problem is that job array dependencies are not honored when you have more than one array dependency. The script below creates 2 small sleep jobs of different lengths and submits each as an array. A final wrap-up job is submitted as depending upon both of the job arrays successfully finishing. However, the dependent job does not wait for both arrays to exit successfully before starting, rather, it starts early after the first array job finishes: sleep120_array sleep60_array | | | | | - | done | dep job starts | *bug* | --- done dep job should start here #--------SH SCRIPT START------ cat << EOF > sleeper60 sleep 60 EOF cat << EOF > sleeper120 sleep 120 EOF JOB1=`cat sleeper120 | qsub -t 1-2` JOB2=`cat sleeper60 | qsub -t 1-2` echo "cat sleeper60 | qsub -W depend=afterokarray:${JOB1}:${JOB2}" cat sleeper60 | qsub -W depend=afterokarray:${JOB1}:${JOB2} # --------SH SCRIPT END------ Running the script above will give the something like the following: > sh SCRIPT cat sleeper60 | qsub -W depend=afterokarray:55349[].madrid:55350[].madrid 55351.madrid -- after 90 seconds -- > qstat 55349[].madrid STDIN tasbu 0 R batch 55350[].madrid STDIN tasbu 0 C batch 55351.madrid STDIN tasbu 0 R batch 55351.madrid should not be running!

A new home scoring system could help a person with a sore throat rule out streptococcal pharyngitis, or strep throat, saving a trip to the doctor.
A study published this week online in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine says most cases of sore throat are caused by a virus, not a bacterial infection, and will go away on their own without antibiotics.
The study says a scoring algorithm developed by the authors could identify patients who are at low risk of strep and who probably don't need to see a doctor for a lab test. The score would be based on the patients' personal health information, as well as the incidence of strep in the local population.
Two editorials accompanying the study raise a few questions, however, among them whether the algorithm's age range is too broad; strep is rare among people over 50, for instance.
People who speak a second language delayed the onset of dementia by 41/2 years compared with those who spoke only one language, according to a new study conducted in India.
Here's a twist: Not only was the benefit seen among subjects who were bilingual, it was present in people who couldn't read. This suggests that education level doesn't explain the difference.
"Speaking more than one language is thought to lead to better development of the areas of the brain that handled executive functions and attention tasks," said study author Suvarna Alladi of Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences in Hyderabad, India.
The study was published online Wednesday in the journal Neurology.
Not to cast any aspersions on the left-handed among us, but a Yale study points out that people with psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia, are much more likely to be southpaws than those with mood disorders like depression. About 10 percent of the U.S. population is left-handed. The study, published in the journal SAGE Open, found that 11 percent of people diagnosed with mood disorders are lefties, but 40 percent of those with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder are left-handed. …
"Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" has staying power. Researchers in Finland played the song loudly, multiple times per week, for 10 expectant mothers during their last trimester of pregnancy. Brain readings of the infants days and months after birth showed they responded to the song much more strongly than a control group that had not been "exposed" to the song in utero, The Washington Post reported. …

Dr. Robert Barbieri, chief of obstetrics and gynecology at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, told the New York Daily News that if a diabetic doesn't take insulin in sufficient amounts, the baby's glucose level starts to rise.
"It's like giving the baby fertilizer," he said.
At 4 months, J.J. weighed 23 pounds, his mother said.

Underwriters Put a Hold on Yelp
It was revealed on Wednesday that Yelp (NYSE: YELP) has been given a Hold rating by the investment banks that took the company public.
When Yelp went public in March, stock was priced at $15 per share, though the first trade was $22. On Tuesday of this week, it was up to $25.81 per share. That increase has left analysts feeling that the stock has hit its ceiling for the time being, resulting in a whole bunch of Holds. Out of four reports on Wednesday, not one of them opted for a Buy rating.
The stock is up 72% from its IPO, but it is still unusual to see zero of its bankers recommend it. Times are changing, with Wall Street showing rare restraint.
Jefferies said that Yelp's brand and strong network effect make it a clear beneficiary of the secular move of local ad dollars online. The business model is proving disruptive, scalable and should over time prove highly profitable.
Goldman Sachs said that it was initiating coverage of Yelp with a Neutral rating and a $26, 12-month price target. Yelp is the category leader in local business information and user-generated content. While Yelp continues to see strong usage growth across its site and mobile app, the model for monetizing this usage is still in the early stages of development.
"While we believe that Yelp is well positioned to capture the significant shift of local advertising dollars online, we believe this outsized growth potential is appropriately reflected in the stock's current valuation premium relative to the broader internet sector."

Hi this is a bit of a long one sorry. I will start from the beginning.
I've kept single, male canaries for many years now, I bought a male roller two years ago in June after losing my dear Gloster but this year and last he started moulting way too early, at around May.
Normally this wouldn't matter so much but over the last year or so he has been screaming for a mate, so I bought a female red factor on Saturday but she is right in the middle of a moult!
So now I have one bird who is desperate to breed and one who is uninterested! I really want to re-sync my male's body clock so that he moults at the correct time of year.
I understand that I will need to manage their lighting, but what I am worried about is how long it'll take to fix this? Since he's already moulted, I can't make him think it is moulting time again.. so what time of year am I supposed to make him think it is?
Regarding lighting times, am I supposed to follow the exact time that the sun sets and rises or do is there some special time I am meant to be following for canaries?
He screeches all year round, it's like he thinks it is breeding season all year round, probably due to the amount of light he gets in our living room.
Help please, I'm really confused about this difficult bird! Thanks!

Riverbend Golf Complex
Riverbend Golf Complex is a multifaceted training facility that fosters golf-game improvement from tee to green.

A 32-stall covered, lighted, and heated driving range helps golfers add new weapons to their on-course arsenal as they take aim at eight target greens spread out in the distance, and a five-member instructional staff of PGA and LPGA pros and apprentices offers a variety of lesson types to keep swings on track. For a more casual session, guests can putt through the tree-lined greens of Riverbend's 18-hole miniature-golf course. The complex also boasts a discount golf store where guests can replace golf clubs they broke while trying to pole-vault across a creek, with equipment from Adams, Bridgestone, Callaway, and other top brands.

text: White Mountaineering Spring 2012--The lonesome, crowded vest Our wants for technical gear always seem to outstrip our needs. Little chilly out? DOWN PARKA. Light drizzle? HELLA GORE-TEX! For most people, a trip to REI can address the desire to be overdressed with regard to the conditions, but for the true tech-spec-design-ninjas, Japan-based brands like White Mountaineering, Visvim, and Nanamica are quickly becoming standards. White Mountaineering designer Yosuke Aizawa started the line in 2006, and draws inspiration broadly from design, utility, and technology. His background working with Junya Watanabe often comes up in discussions of his line, partly because Watanabe's recent menswear similarly subverts menswear tropes with color and play. Although it's not alone in doing so, White Mountaineering incorporates native and primitive influences in its garments. But rather than sourcing solely from traditional makers, the line applies those influences to thoroughly current designs and manufacturing processes. The production pieces, therefore, don't look rustic, but instead like what a sherpa might wear in a movie made in 1985 and set in 2050 (I'm working on a script). Although there are changes from season to season and year to year, White Mountaineering consistently checks off references to technical gear current and past, but in one-of-a-kind patterns and prints. This print is based on an old wallpaper pattern. Some of the outerwear uses treated shirt fabrics. The spring 2011 collection for the brand is as expansive as the American west it mines for material. The number of patterns, fabrics, and details that Aizawa puts together is frankly amazing; previous WM seasons were similar in range. There are print-based tshirts, washed denim, knit shorts, cardigans, technical outerwear, wraps (prefer not to be called "men's skirts"), aprons, boots, sneakers, socks, hats, bags, etc. In some cases the blend is more appealing than in others. A print based on vintage wallpaper works well in tanks and crewnecks in a thermal-type corded fabric; but a workboot that uses cowboy-boot leatherwork seems oddly proportioned. But no matter the design, the detailing is pitch perfect--the laces on the boots (and some of the sneakers) are braided leather. Western details abound. White Mountaineering is unafraid of odd proportions. Roomy hips, cropped trouser legs, and other unusual cuts differentiate White Mountaineering from other, more streetwear-oriented lines that interpret some of the same sources. These designer idiosyncracies may make the line a little more difficult to work into a standard wardrobe. White Mountaineering seems to look its best when styled with loads of other White Mountaineering gear. More knit shorts! There's other creative takes on bottom halves--wrap/skirts and aprons. From a technical perspective, the spring collection is more concerned with blocking rain and wind than pure cold. White Mountaineering used Pertex Shield and eVent fabrics in outerwear that is meticulously taped to keep it impermeable to what you would rather not have permeate. There is also some waxed cotton in the collection--it seems that instead of waxing heavyweight canvas as you might for a winter jacket, White Mountaineering waxed shirting fabrics to make light but still water resistant pieces from natural fibers. The panels on this jacket sublty mix many fabric patterns--twill, herringbone, and more. White Mountaineering is available at Context, MAAS and Stacks, Odin, and Haven.

A man in Casey County, Kentucky said this week that the mannequin in his front yard resembling President Barack Obama holding a slice of watermelon is simply "freedom of speech."
Speaking to Lexington-based LEX18.com on Christmas Eve, Danny Hafley said that the racist display, which went up shortly after Halloween, has made him popular with his friends, and that he's seen numerous passers-by taking photos with the faux-Obama.
"That's my buddy," Hafley said in a video published to YouTube.
"Obama's your buddy?" reporter Adam Yosim asked.
"Well, this is," Hafley replied. "He don't talk. Don't make no smart comments."

Energy Efficiency in India:
Challenges and Initiatives
Thursday, May 13, 2010, 11:00 AM - 12:00 noon
Building 66 Auditorium
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
The Energy Conservation Act of 2001, and the National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency in 2008 provide the framework for initiatives to overcome the challenges that limit energy efficiency investments in India. Over the past few years, initiatives have been introduced to promote: adoption of energy efficient consumer appliances through energy labelling; design of energy-efficient commercial buildings based on an Energy Conservation Building Code; energy conservation in buildings and municipalities through performance contracting by ESCOs; market transformation towards energy efficient appliances (such as CFLs) through demand side management programmes; and enhanced focus on energy efficiency investments in industry due to energy data reporting and bench marking practices. However, there continue to be energy efficiency opportunities that remain unexploited because challenges such as higher first costs, coupled with inadequate information on energy performance of appliances and equipment; financial, technical and transactions risks associated with the adoption of new energy efficient technologies; and split incentives, especially in the buildings sector. The unlocking of this potential is essential to meet national goals of access to energy for all, reduced vulnerability to shocks in energy imports; and better urban air quality. Additionally, as a co-benefit, these actions also further mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.
This talk will cover the challenges and opportunities confronting India as it pursues policies to unlock the full potential of energy efficiency in the country.
Dr. Ajay Mathur
- Director General
- Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), Government of India
Ajay Mathur is Director General of the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, and a member of the Prime Minister's Council on Climate Change. As Director General of BEE, Dr. Mathur coordinates the national energy efficiency programme, including the standards and labeling programme for equipment and appliances; the energy conservation building code; the industrial energy efficiency programme, and the DSM programmes in the buildings, lighting, and municipal sectors.
Prior to joining BEE, Dr. Mathur has worked on energy research, financing, and implementation. He has headed the World Bank's Climate Change Team in Washington, DC; and the Energy Engineering Division of TERI in New Delhi; and has also been President of Suzlon Energy Limited.
Dr. Mathur received his Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Roorkee, and PhD from the University of Illinois. He received the Outstanding Alumni Award of the University of Illinois in 2002. Dr. Mathur is the coauthor of three books, and has been a lead author of several reports of the IPCC including the IPCC Special Report on Technology Transfer.

It's hard for me to recommend _any_ English translations/commentaries
as authentic, or even remotely satisfying. The thing to do is to work
out the translation on one's own, aided by a good dictionary, and
compare if necessary with as many other translations as possible. I
just thought I'd mention it.

Habemus Papam!
This issue is dedicated to our new Holy Father, Pope Francis. Viva il papa!
Age: 21
Year: Junior
From: Robstown, TX
Major: History
Hobbies: Drawing, Cooking, Reading
What is your favorite class? The Reconquista and the Crusades with Dr. Brendan McGuire.
What extra-curricular activities do you participate in? Set design/painting for the Christendom plays, Intramural Soccer, Powder Puff, St. Luke's Art Club, and volunteering in Kilian's Café.
What is your favorite thing about Christendom? Apart from the easy access to the sacraments, and the great classes, my favorite thing about Christendom would be the fact that it has become like a second home to me.
Why did you choose Christendom? As far back as I can remember I have always planned on coming to Christendom because my parents both went here back in the day. But when I first visited in 2008 I really became attached to the idea of being surrounded not only by such a Catholic curriculum but also people and professors who share the same beliefs that I do.
What surprises you the most about Christendom? Before I came to Christendom, I took for granted the idea that there would be so many great people surrounding me. I have been lucky enough to form great relationships with students, faculty, and staff.
What are your plans after graduation? I still have a year to decide for sure what I want to do but I am looking forward to taking the teaching practicum that Christendom offers to see if that is what God is calling me to do.
Any parting words of advice for a prospective student? My advice would be to come and visit during the school year to see what the school is really like and also just to pray about what your vocation is in life and discern whether Christendom is meant for you.
"We are overjoyed at the election of Jorge Cardinal Bergoglio as the 266th pope of the Catholic Church," O'Donnell said upon the news of the election. "It was an unforgettable experience to be in St. Peter's Square and to be with him and to pray with him and for him in a moment of silence amidst hundreds of thousands of people. His humility and deep prayer life will surely enable him to bear the great responsibility of the office. We pledge our loyalty to him and unite ourselves to him in prayer for a pontificate filled with abundant blessings."
The college has always boasted deep affection for, not only the office, but also the person of the Holy Father—past and present. The entire Christendom community offers prayers of thanksgiving and for the intentions of Pope Francis as he leads the Church further in the new evangelization of the 21st century.
Classes cancelled, faculty and students wait for the pope in the lower level of the John Paul the Great Student Center..
Students cheer as Pope Francis walks onto the balcony.
Student pray with Pope Francis.
A wide selection of books was presented, reflecting Christendom students' varying and interesting literary preferences. Some of the books reviewed during the course of the evening included, Make Way for Ducklings, The Little Prince, and, "The Glass Menagerie." Faculty and students enjoyed plenty of snacks and lots of laughter as they learned about each other's treasured books.
Students listen attentively as Mrs. Krebs gives a review of Make Way for Ducklings.
Senior Cate Thomas reads from The Little Prince.
"It's great to share in each other's talents," said sophomore Katie Brizek. "Singing around a bonfire with friends is a great way to spend a night."
Soon the singing bonfire transformed into a game of dares, as St. Catherine's glade was filled with laughter and camaraderie. Everyone is looking forward to another bonfire as the warmth of spring comes to Virginia and encourages everyone to come out and enjoy themselves!
Sophomore Julie Wells treated everyone to her rendition of "Traveling Soldier."
The group protests at this same clinic each Saturday morning during the academic year, but normally only around 20 students make the trek into D.C. on a weekly basis. Once a semester, however, the group's leadership organizes what it calls a "Mega Shield" event and encourages as many of the members of the College community as possible to participate. Last semester, Mega Shield drew as many as 240 students.
After praying about it extensively, I became a sidewalk counselor in order to help women in desperate situations make a decision that will undoubtedly impact them negatively for the rest of their lives. I realized that they're in the crucial final moments before making a life-altering decision whenever I speak to them. If I don't talk to them, maybe no one else will. I always just pray that the Holy Spirit can speak through me and they hear what they need to hear. The way I look at it, even if I spend all four years saving even just one life, every minute of it has been worth it. I love Mega Shield because it's a great opportunity for the student body to become re-energized in the pro-life movement. The other counselors always tell me how uplifting it is to see the many friendly faces of Christendom College students there praying. Additionally, I think it offers a great witness to every person that walks by. Even if they only are passing by on their way to work or to sight-see, the fact that a hundred or two hundred young people are standing out in the cold on a Saturday morning in order to witness to the sanctity of life and demonstrate love and support toward strangers must be a moving sight. I know that some people walking by at this past Mega Shield made bitter remarks against us, and their comments were likely filled with pain that they were experiencing, as well. I wish they could know that we're praying for them, too! Other people who walked by said that they were encouraged by us; we even received a donation from someone passing through! The Lord is definitely working through Christendom students to change the culture and Shield of Roses is one fantastic way to go about achieving our mission!

"The special dinner with the procession beforehand really added to the day to honor St. Joseph and helped add to the celebration," said sophomore Peter Stephens.
From the homemade Italian bread to the gelato, there was plenty of food and everyone enjoyed eating their fill. The dinner and the festive atmosphere worked together to create a fun-filled dinner that everyone loved. Special recognition was given to senior Sara Federico, who ran the event and assisted the kitchen in providing authentic Italian recipes.

"Watching the inaugural Mass was a really profound experience for me, because it was really amazing to see how many people came out at four-thirty in the morning to see Pope Francis inaugurated," said sophomore Bernadette Sartor. "It was also fantastic to see such a wide representation of cultures present at the Mass."
After the broadcast was over, students—though a little tired —left elated to have witnessed such a historical and spiritually momentous occasion.
Coffee and donuts made the early rise a little easier.
Viva il papa!
Spring Break Missions
This was a question that Sophomore Mark Turner and many other Christendom students were faced with during their ten day long spring breaks. On March 1, groups of students left campus to spend their spring break, not at home or the beach, but on one of the four mission trips that Christendom College offered this year. Students had the opportunity to choose a mission trip in the Bronx, Jamaica, Guatemala, or even Peru. Not only was each voyage an opportunity to experience a new culture, but it was also a time to truly encounter poverty from a firsthand perspective. Students worked with different missionary and religious groups during each of their stays and did a wide variety of work in order to help the people of each particular place.
Those who attended the Bronx trip served at a homeless shelter run by a group of Franciscan Friars, while the Guatemala trip, headed by Padre Planty, and the Peru trip, headed by Amanda Graf, worked with orphaned children and the Missionaries of the Third World.
"I attended the all-girls mission trip to Peru last year as a sophomore," said Junior Katie Shannon. "I am beyond grateful that I was able to go back again this year. Having some of the kids from the orphanage recognize me was definitely a blessing from God."
If you ask any student about their experience on any of the mission trips, one thing is certain: you receive so much more than you give.

Benvenuto, Papa Francesco!
On Thursday, February 28, many of us were able to gather in St. Peter's square around five to say goodbye to Pope Benedict for the final time. What a moment it was! Screens were set up in the square, showing us the Holy Father, his farewell to the cardinals, and his ascent into the helicopter. After much guessing of which helicopter was carrying the Holy Father, (there were so many planes for security and broadcasting purposes) we saw his fly over St. Peter's, heading to Castel Gandolfo, the Pope's summer residence. About half an hour later, the helicopter descended at Castel Gandolfo, and Pope Benedict delivered his last address to the world. Although there was a profound sense of loss which surrounded this resignation of Pope Benedict, we were filled with hope for the upcoming conclave. Thank you, Pope Emeritus, for your dedication to the Church!
And now, the news, which I am sure you are all waiting to hear: the election!
On Friday, some of us went to Subiaco, where Saint Benedict lived as a hermit in a cave for three years. The atmosphere of Subiaco is one of serenity and it truly is beautiful! We went to the Benedictine monastery built there and when walking through the church we could see that the monastery is literally built into the cave. One of the monks gave us an amazing tour of the grounds. In the church, the monks have the only fresco of St. Francis which was painted by someone who actually saw the saint.
There is still so much to learn about Rome. Here are some funny things that we have learned about this great city so far:
- the best way to tour Rome is to become lost and walk around the city for two hours before you find your way back
- the only pyramid in Rome right now has scaffolding around it
- don't be afraid to ask for directions in Italian no matter how bad your Italian is
- chasing after buses can be fun and can develop into a habit pretty quickly
- a fun way to pass time waiting for smoke during the conclave is to pretend to be journalists and interview people
- not having your bus come can be one of the best things that has ever happened to you.
Well, that's all for now!

Take Me Out to the Ball Game
One of the biggest surprises of last year's team was the offensive firepower. Multiple games ended with the Crusaders scoring in the double digits with runs—something extremely rare in years gone by. Coach John Mercandetti knows the team will be ready to play come Saturday for the season home opener.
"The guys are getting super anxious. I am sure we will be ready to play on Saturday and it will be good to get the first game jitters out of the way," Mercandetti says.
The Crusaders open the season this Saturday at the beautiful Bing Crosby Stadium with a 4 p.m. doubleheader start against Philadelphia Biblical University.
Go Crusaders!
Q. I was thinking about making a visit to Christendom and saw that you have an Open House event on April 22. Is it better to visit on that day or is it better to come to one of your visit weekends that are listed on your website?
I recommend the Open House for anyone, but I would also say that a weekend visit to campus, where you can stay in the residence halls and hang out with the students more would be something to think about too. Sometimes it takes a couple of visits to get a good feel of a place, so it's good to think about making a visit sometime during junior year of high school and then again, once in senior year too. Maybe attend an Open House in junior year and a weekend visit in senior year.
Whatever works best for you. Hope to see you on campus soon!

American Masters pays tribute to influential
jazz legend Cab Calloway during Black History Month
"Hi de hi de hi de ho!" Charismatic music and dance pioneer Cab Calloway (12-25-1907 – 11-18-94) is an exceptional figure in the history of jazz music. As a singer, dancer and bandleader, he charmed audiences around the world with his boundless energy, bravado and elegant showmanship. Calloway was also an ambassador for his race, leading one of the most popular African-American big bands during the Harlem Renaissance and jazz and swing eras of the 1930s-40s. During Black History Month, American Masterscelebrates the career and legacy of "The Hi De Ho Man" with the new documentary Cab Calloway: Sketches. American Masters "Cab Calloway: Sketches" airs Monday, February 27, 2012 at 9 p.m. on Eight, Arizona PBS.
"I am especially delighted to bring Cab Calloway to younger audiences — and he does become quite alive through the inventive animation in this film," says Susan Lacy, American Masters series creator and executive producer. "He, and his era, is such a vital part of our musical cultural heritage — and such an energetic one!"
With the Cotton Club — where blacks could perform but not attend — as his home stage, Calloway became a star of New York's jazz scene and then a household name with his signature song "Minnie the Moocher." Despite its tragic, taboo subject matter, the song broke into the mainstream and was even used in Max and Dave Fleischer's Betty Boop cartoon of the same name, along with Calloway's dance moves. Breaking the color barrier with this "hi de ho" hit, he was one of the first black musicians to tour the segregationist South. He published a Hepster's Dictionary of his jive slang in 1938, starred in films, including Stormy Weather (1943) with Lena Horne and Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, and played Sportin' Life — a role George Gershwin modeled on him — in a 1952 touring production of Porgy and Bess, making "It Ain't Necessarily So" an enduring part of his brand. With his zany theatricality — scat singing, jive talking, zoot suit wearing, straight-hair head-shaking, and backslide dance (a precursor to Michael Jackson's moonwalk) — Calloway transcended racial specificity on his own terms.

THE news that hundreds of twitchers have descended on a quiet coastal village in Hampshire to catch a glimpse of an incredibly rare Spanish sparrow may prompt some of us to dust off our binoculars to look out for unusual birds in our own gardens.
And what better time? With the RSPB's annual Big Garden Birdwatch on Saturday and Sunday, January 28 and 29, when people are invited to spend an hour recording the birds they see in their own gardens and surrounding area to help provide a snapshot of bird numbers and species in Britain, we may see something other than wood pigeons or magpies.
The mild winter so far should have proved beneficial to birds in this country because there will have been more natural food available, according to the RSPB.
However, it is crucial that gardeners still top up their feeders and birdbaths because if it does turn cold, the birds will need sustenance, the charity warns.
Last year's results showed that some of the smaller birds which decreased in numbers the previous year bounced back.
Sightings of goldcrests doubled, long-tailed tits increased by a third and coal tits by a quarter.
But in the last 30 years many species have been in decline.
Sightings of house sparrows, robins, chaffinches and starlings have all declined since 1979, while wood pigeons and collared doves have shown big increases.
Indeed, wood pigeons have become a pest to gardeners who grow their own winter brassicas such as kale and purple sprouting broccoli, providing a veritable feast for these large birds.
Some gardeners say the pigeons can be deterred by hanging up red cloths. Others resort to covering crops using netting.
"Wood pigeons are happy in lots of different habitats, unlike other birds which aren't so adaptable," said Richard Bashford, of the RSPB.
"Some birds avoid gardens because they are so timid but wood pigeons and collared doves do well in gardens. They eat fruits, berries, grains and seeds and aren't fussy."
However, there are specific foods which smaller birds love and which you might consider when refilling your bird feeders.
Small birds such as goldfinches love nyjer seeds and sunflower seeds. Peanuts are rich in fat and are popular with tits, greenfinches, house sparrows, nuthatches, great spotted woodpeckers and siskins.
Crushed or grated nuts attract robins, dunnocks and even wrens.
But never use salted or dry roasted peanuts and only buy from a reputable source.
Fat balls are great for many birds, especially in cold weather, but make sure you remove them from any nylon mesh before putting them out, as birds can catch their feet in the mesh.
Live food such as mealworms are relished by robins and blue tits, and may attract other insecteating birds such as pied wagtails.
Make sure the mealworms you buy are fresh. Any dead or discoloured ones shouldn't be used as they can cause problems such as salmonella poisoning. Again, buy from a reputable source.
Of course, your own planting scheme can also go some way to making your garden a haven for birds.
A good hedgerow, with a mixture of deciduous trees, shrubs and climbers, will provide birds with both shelter and food. Leave an area of your lawn to grow long, to encourage insects to it, and add some nectar-rich plants such as knapweed, red hot pokers, Michaelmas daisies, snapdragons, cornflowers and cosmos to your border.
Red and yellow flowers are said to be the most frequented by birds.
House sparrows can often be seen attacking red and yellow flowers in spring and autumn, eating buds and petals. Berried plants including the spindle bush, the rowan, holly and hawthorn are also a magnet to birds.
When buying bird food, avoid seed mixtures that have split peas, beans, dried rice or lentils as again only the large species can eat them dry. Consider also that kitchen scraps such as cut-up fruit, cake crumbs, grated cheese and uncooked porridge oats are likely to attract bigger birds.
If you select your bird food carefully, hopefully you'll soon have a host of winged visitors – and not only the large ones – to your garden.

She might not make you matzah ball soup, but camp mom does provide emotional solace to homesick campers
For many kids heading to summer overnight camp for the first time, the prospects can be exciting: new friends, outdoor activities and natural surroundings.
Oh, and no Mom and Dad.
But what excites some kids may leave others a bit scared. While camps rely on counselors and employees to help kids adjust, some also have "camp moms" to help newbies — and their parents — navigate this new terrain.
Karen Garelik, 43, of Westlake Village is starting her eighth summer serving in this capacity at Camp Alonim at the Brandeis-Bardin Campus of American Jewish University, but her experience at the Simi Valley camp goes back decades.
"I got into the camp mom experience because I literally grew up at Camp Alonim on many levels, starting there as a camper when I was 10 in 1980," she said. "For me, the camp mom experience is about helping campers adjust and making things better for them so they will have the opportunity to have the same experience my siblings and I had there. Some of my closest friends are people I met during my summers there. One of my siblings met his wife there."
Garelik, who is the mother of two campers as well as a staffer at the camp, also serves as youth director at Temple Etz Chaim in Thousand Oaks. She said her role is not so much about entertaining the kids while they are there, but giving kids that extra inclination to explore, be creative and to allow them to have the kinds of life experiences they would not necessarily have if they spent their summer at home.
Meredith Raber, a marriage and family therapist beginning her ninth summer as a Camp Alonim mom, said having her own family allows her to work better with campers.
"Being a mom helps you in this situation because you have the inclinations to nurture and to be of help," she said. "When you are there, and you know these other children don't have their parents with them, you feel, 'If these were my children, I would want somebody to be there for them.' "
Camp moms know best when it comes to helping kids face doubts or fears when they're stepping into something unfamiliar, especially on the first days of camp.
"One of the most fulfilling things for me is helping kids get through their initial feelings of homesickness in the first three or four days of camp," Garelik said. "There's nothing like the moment where you say something to them that makes something click within them that will allow them to move on and have a great time during the session. The next summer you remember them, but they forget that they spent time with you and are just enjoying the camp experience."
Camp moms also can be resources for parents who may have concerns of their own, especially if it is their first time sending their child away from home, or their kids send letters about missing home.
"I … love moments where I can tell parents their previously homesick child is doing well and having a fantastic time," Raber said.
There can be other issues, too. Need your kid's computer password? Contact the camp mom. See a photo on the camp's website that makes it look like your child has a black eye? The camp mom can explain that it's simply paint left over from an art activity.
At Camp Ramah in Ojai, Wendy Rosenthal said she's spent 45 of the best summers of her life on site as a camper, counselor, unit head and part of the Yoetzet (parent liaison) team. Today, she serves as an adviser to the campers, parents and staff of an edah, or age group, but still refers to herself as a "camp mom."
Camp Ramah was where Rosenthal, a Kadima Day School teacher and Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust docent, met her husband and where her sons met their future wives. (Her daughter-in-law also works during the summer as a Yoetzet.) As Rosenthal sees it, Camp Ramah offers her a way of educating outside of a classroom environment.
"You walk around, talk to different people and show them how much you care in tangible ways," she said. "Parents may be nervous about having 17- to 21-year-olds be totally responsible for the mental and physical health of their children; it is reassuring to have a mature person provide guidance."
As camp mom at Camp JCA Shalom, educational writer Deborah Witchey of Tucson, Ariz., does everything from making costumes for the play to sitting with kids in the infirmary to setting up a sunscreen station for them during a field day.
"I love being around kids," she said. "One experience that made being a camp mom so worthwhile was helping a young girl deal with the death of her grandfather. …We spent hours talking things out, and making her realize her grandfather would want her to stay."
While there is no camp mom program at the Wilshire Boulevard Temple camps in Malibu, associate director Jen Shankman said her camps have a model where she, in tandem with two licensed therapists, team up to take on various camp mom functions, such as helping kids through homesickness, mediating conflicts between campers, first aid, social anxiety and parental concerns. This year, because there is only one returning therapist, Shankman hired a person to fill a camp mom role.
"Some kids just need a hug and find it reassuring that there is an adult there who is a little older than the counselors, who is looking out for you, and who is available for you and your parents to talk to if something comes up," she said.
Raber believes the camp experience shaped her future, her career in the "real world" and her Jewish identity, and she hopes the young people she works with will experience the same.
"I look forward to seeing some of the same Jewish camp traditions I experienced growing up," she said. "Every year, the experience feels brand new."
