Photographer's Note
This was taken close to where we live, on the northern edge of Neshannock township where the residential areas give way to farmland. Neshannock is a native American word meaning "land between two waters". I was on my way to a breakfast meeting when I noticed the rising sun on my right.
Bir Kış Gündoğumu
Bu, yaşadığımız yere yakın Neshannock Bucağının kuzey kenarında yerleşim alanlarından tarım arazilerine geçerken alındı. Neshannock "İki su arasında arazi" anlamına gelen bir yerli Amerikalı kelimedir. Ben bir kahvaltı toplantısına yoldayken sağda yükselen güneşi fark ettim.

Hi Murat,
beautiful sunrise photo. I like very much the extraordinary colors with the sky so pink and purple.
Lovely landscape with no traces of civilization, the snow covered field adds more light. The sky is the strongest point of course.
Excellent work,

Fabulous purple tone on the sky, Murat, and a blue snow. Light plays magic over the white snow on dawn, turning to another color.
Fine landscape photo, DOF and clarity are super.

I'm very glad for your appreciation of this lovely morning gift, for stopping to capture it and for deciding to share it with us. There's fine depth in this mysterious scenery, wonderful blue tones broken through by red/purple hues spreading from the horizon. Sight and atmosphere are captivating. Congratulations and thank you!

Hello Murat,
You're capturing well this winter landscape by a good angle and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see the wide farmland with trees covered to the snowfall in sunrise. It's a poetic scenery in countryside and it's beautiful for the sky dyed to red color.
Kind regards,

Fine and rare George III period yew-tree cabinet of delightfully small proportions
c. 1780 England
Offered by John Beazor Antiques
SoldRequest Information Call Dealer Favourite Item
Fine and rare George III period yew-tree cabinet of delightfully small proportions; the shelved cupboard enclosed by a pair of doors, above a baize-lined slide and two short and three long oak-lined drawers with original cast-brass handles; all the mouldings are ebonised and the cabinet stands on original bracket feet of a particularly unusual design with ebonised split-turned baluster inserts.
In very good condition with lovely yew-wood and ebonised features.
The literature might suggest the cabinet has an Irish origin however it is thought that a more recent provenance is that is from Langley Park, Norfolk
A closely similar yew-tree cabinet, surmounted by a shelved superstructure, but with the same arrangement of drawers and distinctive feet, was recorded at Castletown House, Co Kildare in an article in 'Country Life' by Margaret Jourdain in 1937.

Gun Laws Explored at Mississippi Law School Forum
August 1, 2013
Conversations about firearms and gun laws are always a hot topic across America.
As many as 30,000 people are killed across the USA each year due to gun violence. There are more than 310 million firearms in the hands of civilians, including 114 million handguns and 110 million rifles. National tragedies involving deadly gun violence from Virginia Tech to Newtown, Connecticut and Tuscon, Arizona will never be forgotten.
Shedding light on the details of new Mississippi gun laws passed by the Legislature, a panel at Mississippi College School of Law focused attention on the issue of the open carrying of firearms in the Magnolia State.
MC Law Dean Jim Rosenblatt moderated the discussions Wednesday at the downtown Jackson campus that sits a few blocks from the state Capitol.
"In Mississippi, our Legislature has enacted laws which deal with the carrying of concealed weapons and to a more limited extent the open carrying of weapons," Rosenblatt said. "It is important to define the terms used in our laws as illustrated by the panel discussion."
The dean said he hoped the talks at the law school's auditorium "contributed to the understanding of current law as the Mississippi Supreme Court prepares to hear a firearms case on appeal from the Hinds County Circuit Court."
Panel members included state Rep. Andy Gipson of Braxton, an attorney who authored House Bill 2, the new law that defines when a firearm is considered to be concealed.
Others joining the conversation included Ken Winter, executive director of the Mississippi Association of Chiefs of Police, Hinds County District Attorney Robert Schuler Smith, and deputy state attorney general Mike Lanford.
The two-hour session attracted Mississippi media members, attorneys seeking to receive two hours of continuing legal education credit, and the public.
Earlier this year, state lawmakers passed the law and Gov. Phil Bryant signed the measure that narrows the definition of what is considered to be a concealed weapon which would require a permit. Mississippians already have the right to keep and bear arms, Bryant noted. The governor, about 80 lawmakers, the National Rifle Association and others recently asked the Mississippi Supreme Court to let them file briefs in support of the statutory changes made by HB 2.

3 has pledged to get 100,000 people to become broadband users, as part of its commitment to the Race Online 2012 campaign. The network is sending a mobile broadband bus on the road to demonstrate the benefits of using the internet.
Race Online 2012 was launched in March this year with the aim of inspiring more people to use the internet and to offer support to those who need a helping hand. The Three Mobile Broadband bus will be stopping off at locations around the country where a UK online centres team will provide free internet advice and training.
3 is the first network to back the Race Online 2012 scheme, which aims to get an estimated 10 million UK citizens who have never used the internet online by 2012. The bus was unveiled yesterday at Wallingford Library in Oxfordshire by UK digital champion, Martha Lane Fox, minister for culture, communications and creative industries, Ed Vaizey, 3 CEO Kevin Russell and Helen Milner, MD of UK online centres.
According to Race Online 2012, around four million of the 10 million non-internet users in the UK are among the most disadvantaged: 39% are over 65; 38% are unemployed; and 19% are families with children. Race Online 2012 has indentified three key issues that stop people going online: lack of motivation; no access; and not having the skills.
The Mobile Broadband bus is designed to encourage people to overcome these issues. Kevin Russell said: 'It is really important to us to promote mobile broadband. The bus will help build awareness of what it can do and as we go around the country we will see and learn what gets in the way of people using it.'
Asked if the Government would provide any help to the networks to extend mobile coverage into uneconomic rural areas, Vaizey said: 'We will look at rural coverage and broadband under the mobile phone spectrum auction going forward. But we recognise it is a challenge for mobile phone companies to get universal coverage in terms of geography, because they have to make the investment. So we will look at ways we can make it happen together.'
Helen Milner of UK online centres, which works with the Government to provide public access to computers and the internet, added: 'It is not just about supply, it is about demand. If we get that last 10 million people onto the internet and paying for broadband, then the more people you have, the bigger the marketplace.'
Russell told Mobile that the networks were not looking for any handouts regarding extending mobile coverage into rural areas, but he hoped that Ofcom would structure the spectrum auction in a way that balanced service levels with other business and financial requirements.

Fjölnir (also Fjolnir or Fjoelnir) is a programming language developed by professor Snorri Agnarsson of computer science at Háskóli Íslands (University of Iceland) that was mostly used in the 1980s. The source files usually have the extension
fjo or
Fjölnir is based on the concept of representing programs as trees, and packages by substitutions on trees using algebraic operators.[1] For example, in the Hello World example below,
"GRUNNUR" is a package, the block of code between braces is a package, and
* is an operator that substitutes names in one package with elements from another. In this case,
skrifastreng (which writes a string to the standard output) is imported from
Code examples[edit]
;; Hello world in Fjölnir "hello" < main { main -> stef(;) stofn skrifastreng(;"Hello, world!"), stofnlok } * "GRUNNUR" ;

Get me to the Greek on time!
Remember that little fiscal crisis in Greece? Well you might as well forget about it because at least for today, the market is! A new month filled with summertime optimism is rejoicing that Greece has been saved again! Just agree to a little austerity and you get bailed out! If you liked the first bailout you are going to love this one because the risk trade is back! Buy oil and buy gas because no matter what happens, you always know that someone somewhere will be waiting to bail you out.
Reuters News reports, "The euro rose to a three-week high against the dollar, while world stocks and oil prices advanced on a report that Germany could make concessions to facilitate a new aid package for Greece." Yahoo! Reuters goes on to say, "Berlin, which along with some other countries had resisted extra funding, is considering dropping its push for an early rescheduling of Greek bonds, the Wall Street Journal said. That was in line with the tone of comments by Berlin's finance minister last week, although other substantial barriers appear to remain to the provision of extra financial help to deal with Greece's financing needs next year. Worries over the Euro zone debt crisis have driven the euro sharply lower this month and it is on course for its first monthly loss since November."
Whether you think this is the end of the Greece crisis or just the beginning, it does not matter; the perception is very bullish for oil and other commodities.
At the same time Yemen is falling into chaos. Reports that al-Qaida has control of a city in Yemen is raising more concerns about the region. The Energy Information Agency reminds us that a very important choke point for global oil supply is right along Yemen. "The Strait of Bab el-Mandab is a chokepoint between the horn of Africa and the Middle East, and a strategic link between the Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean. It is located between Yemen, Djibouti, and Eritrea, and connects the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea. Most exports from the Persian Gulf that transit the Suez Canal and SUMED pipeline also pass through the Bab el-Mandab. An estimated 3.2 million bbl/d flowed through this waterway in 2009 versus 4 million barrels per-day in 2008 toward Europe, the United States, and Asia."
The EIA says that security became a concern of foreign firms doing business in the region, after a French tanker was attacked off the coast of Yemen by terrorists in October 2002. In recent years, this region has also seen rising piracy, and Somali pirates continue to attack vessels off the northern Somali coast in the Gulf of Aden and southern Red Sea including the Bab el-Mandab.
Gas prices have fallen and the Oil and Gas Journal reported API chief economist John Felmy as saying that gasoline prices are simply driven by the product's manufacturing costs and that market fundamentals, rather than speculation, are what drive's today's higher prices. Pump prices are up from a year ago because refiners are incurring higher costs for oil and ethanol.
Higher credit card fees and sales taxes also are contributing to the increased prices at the pump. Felmy said that gasoline demand in the US was up in this year's first quarter compared with year-earlier levels. In April, however, demand declined 2.2% from April 2010. Urban areas especially experienced a decline in demand in April, Felmy said, adding that it is difficult to determine whether this dip was the result of the sluggish economy or if it was due to higher gasoline prices.

Former first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy has come out in support of the French government's bill legalizing gay marriage and adoptions, moves strongly opposed by her ex-president husband, according to On Top Magazine.
"I am rather in favor of gay marriage and adoption," she told Vogue in a cover story to hit newsstands on December 3. "I have a lot of friends – women and men – who are in this situation and I see nothing unstable or perverse in families with homosexual parents."
France's new left-of-center President Francois Hollande, who beat Sarkozy in a tightly-contested May vote, approved the marriage equality and adoption bill on November 7. It is expected to go before parliament in January.
Sarkozy's party as well as Roman Catholic groups have been campaigning heavily against the bill.
As for Sarkozy himself, no comment from his wife on possible political ambitions, said Agence-France Press.
"It was a beautiful adventure," she reportedly told Vogue, "but today I just want to go back to being a citizen like any other."
For the former supermodel, a return to normalcy apparently takes the form 20-page fashion spread.
The exclusive feature sees the 44-year-old, who is also a successful singer, posing like she used to back in the 1990s.
Bruni married Sarkozy in 2008.

America falls out of love with its geeks
Visit San Francisco and it's easy to leave with the impression that it's a city divided. On one side stand the long-time residents of America's most right-on metropolis. On the other, a mob of young, wealthy geek arrivistes.
In recent years, Silicon Valley has crept northwards into urban San Francisco. The poster child for this migration has been Twitter, whose HQ is in Market Street, a former skid row that has been transformed into a centre of the social media industry. When Twitter floated on the stock exchange last month, the deal transformed 1,700 workers, with an average age of 30, into instant paper millionaires.
A city pays a price when it is flooded by that kind of wealth. Amid a tech boom, rents in…

The Sweden Democrats are not so much far right as your common-or-garden populist party and get their voters from young unemployed poorly educated males and a few old age pensioners.
I guess it is part of Sweden becoming more European; now we've got a populist party with a murky ideology in our parliament, just like most of the rest of Europe. The Westminster system, while perhaps a little unfair, does keep the likes of the BNP at bay.

Elections board warns petition circulators not to disturb voters
Due to the anticipated presence of recall petition circulators at polling places today, the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board offered guidelines for clerks, inspection workers and petition circulators.
The GAB says it's permissible to circulate a petition, unrelated to the current election, at the entrance to a polling place, but canvassers should not circulate petitions within the building and should stand at least 10 ft. from the voters' path of travel.
"The actions of the circulators should not in any way interfere with or distract voters or election officials, interrupt or disturb the election proceedings," say the guidelines.
These are the guidelines.
--It is permissible to circulate a petition within 100 ft. of the entrance to the polling place if it is unrelated to the candidate contests/ referenda on the ballot, subject to any separate rules governing the use of and access to the property.
--Circulators should not solicit signatures from voters in line to vote, but rather wait until voters are leaving the polling place.
--Circulators should not stand in or block the entrance to the building. GAB recommends circulators remain at least 10 ft. from the path of travel.
--The GAB has concluded that petitioning in the immediate voting area or within the building containing the polling place is inherently disruptive. Election officials should order persons petitioning inside the building to leave the building.
--The actions of the circulators should not in any way interfere with or distract voters or election officials, interrupt or disturb the election proceedings.
--Circulators must refrain from "campaign activity" for any contest on the ballot while on public property within 100 feet of the entrance of a polling place. This includes any verbal or written statements on a recall petition referring to a candidate or issue on the ballot.
--If a circulator is causing a disruption of the polling place, the chief inspector should immediately address the situation and ask the circulator to cease disruptive activity. Circulators who do not cease the disruptive activity will be ordered to leave the polling place and remain outside the 100-ft. zone. If the circulator continues to disrupt the polling place, the chief inspector should contact law enforcement to enforce the order.
The rules for signing, circulation petitions
In an earlier announcement, the GAB reminded citizens involved in Wisconsin's unprecedented recall efforts about the rules for signing, circulating and filing recall petitions.
"Recall is a boots-on-the-ground, grassroots process," said Kevin Kennedy, director and general counsel of the GAB. "It is not something that can be done online, by e-mail or on Facebook."
Recall petition drives are organized by groups or individuals who have registered with the GAB by filing forms which identify themselves to the public. They are responsible for printing the recall petitions and distributing them to circulators.
At least one person registering a recall committee must live in the official's district, but people who circulate petitions are not required to be residents of the same district or state. Anyone who is a U.S. citizen, at least 18 years old and not otherwise disqualified from voting, may circulate petitions.
Circulators must personally witness each person sign the petition. They cannot leave petitions unattended on a table or bulletin board. People signing the recall petitions must be qualified electors of the officeholder's district that is subject to the recall effort.
Recall groups have 60 days from the day they register with the G.A.B. to collect the required number of signatures to trigger a recall.
The G.A.B. will only accept signed petitions from registered groups, said Nat Robinson, Elections Division administrator. "People should not send individual petitions to the GAB," said Robinson."If they do, those petitions will not be counted."
For more information about the rules and deadlines for recalls, visit the recall page on the agency's website:

I'm looking for some romantic spots in either Quincy or Cambridge.(Just met a girl who lives and works in these cities)
Not crazy romantic so the gal thinks I'm going to propose. Just quiet, dark, cozy, friendly type places for a couple drinks and conversation.
Music would be nice, maybe some good apps.
Think total opposite of well lit sports bar with TV's blaring.
Any rec's worth going to in other neighborhoods also appreciated.

AUDIO: Jonwayne "Royalty"
Rapper/producer Jonwayne has blessed us with his new track "Royalty" today. The beatsmith known for his "Oodles of Doodles" project as well his "Jonwayne Fucks Disney" beat tape, hits us with this murky gem. The track features glitches and hard-hitting snares, not to mention a great synth breakdown around 1:13 mark. On the vocal side it's bars like "The most gangsta Amish cat/greatest ear on top of that" that have us rooting for this guy.
Along with the track, Jonwayne hinted that he has a new project coming out soon in the description of "Royalty" on his Soundcloud. Keep an eye out for Jonwayne's next move, he's an interesting character . . . Come on, just look at that cover.

Despite besting the Street's earnings estimates Monday, Apple (AAPL[1]) was punished, with investors sending Apple stock down a whopping 8% the next morning. AAPL shares are continuing lower in early morning trading today, and even breached the $500 level momentarily, adding further angst to investors.
While existing Apple stock holders might be bemoaning their ill fortune this week, prospective shareholders are perking up, as the selloff is putting AAPL on sale.
In his recent comments[2], Todd Bunton of Zacks Investment Research concluded:
"After Tuesday's selloff, shares of Apple stock was trading at just 7.5x the current 2014 Zacks Consensus Estimate, excluding its cash. Granted, the consensus is likely to come down a bit, but even at 8 or 9x forward earnings, Apple stock looks very cheap next to its peers and even the S&P 500."
In light of Apple's increasingly attractive valuation levels, further downside in AAPL stock should be somewhat limited in the coming months. While shares might not stage some type of immediate recovery, with options trading, we can structure trades that profit even if Apple stock meanders sideways for a spell as it works off the psychological damage dealt by this week's downdraft.
Before we delve into the details of an options play, let's first assess the technical posture of AAPL to see if the charts can provide further color to our analysis.
Despite the ugliness of this week's plunge and subsequent entrance of AAPL's daily chart into a downtrend resting beneath the 50-day moving average, the bulls still hold the upper hand longer-term. The rising 200-day moving average confirms that the larger trend remains higher, suggesting deeper pullbacks are still buying opportunities. This pivotal moving average also might act as a support level, stemming the current decline in Apple stock near the $480 level.
In a situation such as this, selling out-of-the-money bull put spreads is the way to go. Using options with a little more time until expiration will allow us to widen the profit zone, as well as provide more time for the current dip in AAPL to be bought.
Instead of using weekly options, we could use the March monthly options with 51 days to expiration.
Sell the AAPL March 460-455 put spread for 85 cents credit. The max reward is limited to the initial credit of 85 cents and will be captured if Apple stock remains above $460 by expiration. The max risk is limited to the distance between strikes minus the net credit, or $4.15.
As of this writing, Tyler Craig did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Variable Selection In Forecasting Models For Corporate Bankruptcy
In this paper we develop statistical models for bankruptcy prediction of Italian firms in the limited liability sector, using annual balance sheet information. Several issues involved in default risk analysis are investigated, such as the structure of the data-base, the sampling procedure and the influence of predictors. In particular we focus on the variable selection problem, comparing innovative techniques based on shrinkage with traditional stepwise methods. The predictive performance of the proposed default risk model has been evaluated by means of different accuracy measures. The results of the analysis, carried out on a data-set of financial ratios expressly created from a sample of industrial firms annual reports, give evidence in favor of the proposed model over traditional ones.

Emails are a great way to communicate but anyone can tell you that they can quickly get out of hand, start piling up, and put a stop to your productivity.
The difficulty is that emails are essential for most of our work so it's something we have to deal with.
- From time to time we may purge our inboxes.
- We may spend an afternoon going through the backlog.
- We may purchase tools or services to declutter.
This article will bring you a few strategies and actions for controlling your emails (so that the emails don't control you).
1. Begin with removing (or at least filtering) the spam
The email client/service you're using will have an option for spam filtering. This filter is like a floodgate in which you can open it up, completely, or shut it up and block (almost) all of it. This should be your first course of action so do a Google search for "[Client/Service] + Spam Filter" and set that up accordingly.
The other action you should consider is taking an hour or two to unsubscribe from email lists you no longer want to receive. At the bottom of the emails are links to unsubscribe. A neat trick to do to use the search feature in the client/service to look up "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "privacy" which will show which emails have these options for easy pickings.
One more action you can take is trying to do a Google search for pages which may contain your email. Web scrappers may use these sites to pick up your email and add them to your list. Do what you can to get them removed.
2. Set an order of importance (and use your client/service effectively)
Your email should be like your to-do list in which the important items are placed at the top.
Develop a system to your emails that allows you to:
A. Identify the important emails
B. Answer them quick and effectively
C. Block schedule emails of lesser importance
So, for example, you could imagine client/customer support emails would be high on the list compared to something like an interview request. These emails both have importance but support emails are one that keeps the individuals as a customer and that means money.
3. Push emails to the back of the day (if it's an option)
It would be beneficial to push emails toward the back of the day (after you've done the important ones that brings money to your business). Having the emails at the end of the day allows you to keep your focus on the important work at hand; it also means that some of those emailing you might have already sorted out their issues or requests in the meantime thus making it easier to process the inbox.
A side benefit: Sometimes emails can throw you in a funk such as if you're receiving hate mail (it happens); reading these in the beginning of the day can start your day at a crawl.
4. Learn how to write better, effective emails
A big problem with email is that we tend to get long-winded. Since we create long emails it's likely the recipient is going to send one back that may be as long.
In a way it would be beneficial to treat your emails like you would a text message.
Get straight to the point and try to keep it as brief as possible.
Not only are you doing the other person a great service so they're not spending many minutes reading through the email but it will also help with your communication since it's direct.
5. Consider printing those of highest importance
There are numerous programs and services we use every day to help manage our emails but sometimes the simplicity of printing out the ones of highest importance can often be the best way to prevent them from being a constant distraction.
Having the important email in your hands allows you to close the email client/service so you aren't constantly updated and interrupted.
It allows your mind to put a focus on these few important emails much like you would in creating a to-do list. Respond once you're done processing the information.
Try it out sometime.

Apple iPhone 5C Malaysia
The Affordable iPhone
The iPhone 5C is released alongside the iPhone 5S as part of the seventh generation of Apple iPhones. The iPhone 5C is a unique departure from the typical iPhone releases, usually only having one iPhone with varying storage options. This time however, the iPhone 5C exists alongside the iPhone 5S as a more affordable alternative – a mid-ranged iPhone. The iPhone 5C utilizes almost all of the same specifications as the previous generation iPhone 5. The iPhone 5C was available in storage sizes of 8GB, 16G, and 32GB; the 16GB and 32GB were first phased out near the end of the iPhone 5C's lifespan, following by the 8GB when the iPhone 6 was launched.
The Colorful Design
Although the iPhone 5C utilizes the very same specifications from the iPhone 5, it doers not utilize the same aluminum rear back – it does keep the front black glass, however. Instead of the aluminum rear case of the iPhone 5, the iPhone 5C uses a colorful polycarbonate housing in five different colors blue, green, yellow, pink, and white. Although it uses a polycarbonate shell, the weight of the iPhone 5C is 20 grams heavier than the iPhone 5 and the iPhone 5S. The design of the mute/ringer switch is also different from iPhones. Many have also claimed that it is quite possibly the most durable iPhone ever due to the nature of its materials and design.
iOS 7
With a smartphone as colorful as the iPhone 5C comes Apple's latest iOS 7 and its new outlook. Breaking away from the more neutral and formal colors of previous OS operating systems, iOS 7 introduces a revamped design throughout the entire operating system, offering slightly more colorful and saturated colors with all of the icons and general interface. The entire operating system also gains a little more translucency in its menus. The wallpapers itself has a little bit of movement based on the phone's built-in gyroscope.
One of the most useful features introduced in iOS 7 is none other than the quick-settings Control Center which is accessible by sliding up from the bottom of the iPhone. This pull up menu allows the user to easily and quickly access the various settings found in the iPhone – giving a convenient way to toggle Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, flashlight, and more without having to dive into the settings menu.

Former state employee facing embezzlement charges
Woman took $50,000, says state
Former state employee facing embezzlement charges
Woman took $50,000, says state
MONTPELIER, Vt. —
A former employee of the state of Vermont is facing charges she embezzled more than $50,000 from the state.
The arrest of 51-year Lisa Peduzzi, of Plainfield, was announced Friday by Gov. Peter Shumlin, the head of the state police and commissioner of the Department of Public Safety.
The state alleges that Peduzzi, who worked as a claims examiner in office of risk management, would set up false claims against the state and then use the money paid for those claims for her own use.
The state learned of the case when she allegedly tried to buy a guitar from a man in Michigan with a state check.
Officials said she was in custody on Friday afternoon. It could not immediately be determined if she had an attorney.

He's a mean one: How the Grinch stole 'The Cat in the Hat'
Updated 10:00 pm, Thursday, November 20, 2003
The expensive, live-action film version of Dr. Seuss' "The Cat in the Hat" may be the merchandising phenomenon of 2003 -- its logo stares at us from every aisle of the supermarket -- but, boy, is it one shoddy piece of cultural vandalism.
If you have particular fond memories of the beloved 1957 children's book -- and who hasn't? -- you can actually get mad at the way it's been converted into a violent, incessantly gross and grotesquely overproduced monstrosity of a movie.
It's essentially a movie-star vanity, predicated on the premise that if you put Mike Myers in three inches of cat makeup and let him charge around the set with absolutely no directorial control for 85 minutes, you'll have yourself an instant classic.
Latest Entertainment Videos
It hasn't happened. Myers is about as charming as a carbuncle, and his feline character -- played as a kind of Phil Silvers-like, borscht-belt comic -- misfires eight out of every 10 tries. And on any Halloween, you're likely to see five better cat costumes.
The film's first-time director is Bo Welch, the production designer of "Edward Scissorhands," "Beetlejuice" and the "Men in Black" movies, so, not surprisingly, it's gone all out to create a three-dimensional Seuss-ian backdrop for its story.
But the lavish sets -- an entire cotton-candy city block and a purple housing development built full-scale in the Simi Valley -- are so expressionistic that they dwarf the actors in an unpleasant way. They're scary, more "Dr. Caligari" than "Dr. Seuss."
The original book is, of course, very short -- a mere 1,620 words -- so the trio of screenwriters (the same guys who had better luck adapting "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!") can rightly claim that most of its situations are in their script.
Yet their work is more of a cynical, bloated riff on the original than a spiritually faithful translation. Where "The Cat" book was anarchistic but ultimately sweet-spirited, this movie is ugly, dumb and colossally mean-spirited.
There's one scene, for instance, in which a gang of kids savagely beat the Cat with baseball bats (topped off by a brutal kick to his cat groin) that belongs more to "Lord of the Flies" than Dr. Seuss, and, throughout, the movie resonates with the merriment of cruelty.
Is there anything positive to say about this calamity? Well, Kelly Preston makes a likable-enough mom to the two wayward kids who are the object of the Cat's baby-sitting mission, and, OK, I found myself chuckling maybe two or three times at Myers' shtick.
But the songs (by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman of "Hairspray" Broadway fame) are forgettable, the two child stars (Dakota Fanning and Spencer Breslin) are annoying and, as their smarmy neighbor, Alec Baldwin must really need the money.
Perhaps worst of all, the movie has been junked up with much more than the usual amount of tastelessness: burping kids, urinating dogs, vomit gags, epic flatulence jokes, smirking scatological references and sexual double-entendres.
And to add insult to this injury, the film's publicity is filled with self-serving testimonials about the filmmakers' "respectful handing" of the material, of their desire to "honor" Dr. Seuss and his legacy in every frame. Even by Hollywood standards, that takes a lot of gall.

NEARLY 100 Hampshire apprentices are facing uncertain futures today after a major learning provider went in to liquidation.
Apprenticeship Training Limited set up its new £500,000 college in Southampton just four months ago to help unemployed youngsters get into the building service industry.
But students who turned up at the converted school in Thornhill have been handed letters telling them the company is being wound up.
Mystery surrounds why the 20-year-old business is going in to voluntary liquidation and there has been no indication of how many jobs will be lost.
Around 90 young apprentices in Southampton – most aged between 16 and 19 – have been told they need to find new courses.
The Government body paying for their tuition, the Skills Funding Agency (SFA), has vowed to help them find alternative training.
But one Hampshire teenager told the Daily Echo he was already struggling to enrol in colleges or find a company to take him on.
Taylor McFarlane is desperate to continue his training as a plumber but despite calling every company in the Yellow Pages, has been unable to find a company willing to take him on.
His mum Anita Crown, from Hedge End , was reduced to tears after finding out her son's plans for the next two years had been left in tatters.
She said: "Taylor has been left high and dry – nobody has helped us at all. We just went in to the ATL building and all they did was hand us a letter.
"We have been given no help whatsoever. "I just think it's disgusting that they have done this with such little notice."
The centre opened in May offering courses in plumbing, electrics, gas installation, welding, building controls, renewable technology and general construction.
The college, at the former Hightown Secondary School site inn Burgoyne Road, was refurbished to include workshops, classrooms, exam suites and catering facilities.
Last night nobody was available for comment from the firm.
A letter handed to apprentices said: "Please do not worry about the completion of the remainder of your course as Skills Funding Agency have given a very firm assurance that they are going to transfer your tuition to an alternative provider and that your course will not be affected."
A spokesman for the SFA and National Apprenticeship Service said: "The agency and NAS is aware that Apprenticeship Training Ltd has ceased trading.
"The agency and NAS are working with Apprenticeship Training Ltd to make sure learners are supported and transferred, where possible, to other local providers and to ensure public funds are protected."
Any apprentices who have been affected can contact the agency's relationship manager, Norma Landgraf, at Norma.Landgraf @skillsfundingagency.bis.gov.uk .
A separate company, ATL Practical Learning has said students of theirs who were using the centre would be found alternative training.
The firm used some of the facilities at Apprenticeship Training Limited's Thornhill centre.
But they have vowed that the tuition of their own students "will not be in any way affected" by news of the voluntary liquidation.

The wish list for bond-funded construction projects in the Santa Barbara Unified School District is adding up, and the total estimated project costs would be $194.4 million over Measure Q's budget.
Measures Q & R will bring $75 million to secondary schools and $35 million to elementary schools, respectively, and the school board has asked facilities staff to develop a comprehensive status update of every district facility.
TELACU Construction Management project manager Kelly Coultrup presented the cost analysis of current and potential projects at Tuesday's board meeting.
Board members and district staff made up a "probable/possible list" for projects, but with no final prioritization order, according to facilities director David Hetyonk.
Coultrup's firm is developing the cost estimates for projects, a master schedule and helping the district prioritize projects. TELACU also evaluated all facilities for age, general condition, maintenance and replacement cost projections. The evaluations will factor into board members' decisions when they pick which projects to green light.
"We looked at every roof on every campus in the entire district," he said.
He'll brief the board on elementary school projects — funded by Measure R — at a later meeting.
So far, the district has spent $26.54 million on completed projects and another $1.15 million on contractors, management and equipment, according to the TELACU report.
The report also identified $227 million in pending and future projects, not including the high cost for replacing portable classrooms with permanent single-story buildings.
"This is unbelievably fantastic information for us to have," Superintendent Dave Cash told the board. "We don't have a lot of money, so we'll spend what we need to spend at your direction."
Board president Monique Limon said she saw a theme of school safety issues in the proposed projects. After the tragedy at Sandy Hook in Newtown, Conn., some priorities in projects may need to change, she said.
"Before Dec. 14, there were things I thought about differently," she said.
Case in point, Hetyonk said, a locksmith is replacing the entire locks and keys system at every school. Now, the system meets new handicap and building codes and teachers can lock classroom doors from the inside, not just the outside.
Coultrup presented some specific future projects at Tuesday's meeting, including the proposed window replacement for La Cumbre Junior High, estimated at $6.1 million, and Santa Barbara High, estimated at $11 million. Many of the windows are historic, but in bad shape, so the replacement will be very expensive, he said.
Board member Kate Parker said the problems are far beyond the scope of what the district thought was needed when the general obligation bonds were passed.
The board has made huge cuts to the maintenance budget during the recession, so returning that money needs to be a priority as well, she said.
Measure Q bond-funded projects so far include the following:
» La Colina Junior High School has had $1.46 million spent on hillside stabilization, site drainage, wireless access and parking lot asphalt paving.
» La Cumbre Junior High School has had $214,375 spent on wireless access and ADA upgrades.
» Wireless access funds have also been spent at Santa Barbara Junior High School, Goleta Valley Junior High and La Cuesta Continuation High School.
» At San Marcos High School, $10.54 million of bond money has been spent so far on the new classroom wing — which houses the Health Careers Academy — electrical infrastructure, water line replacement, wireless access and site drainage.
» Santa Barbara High School's kitchen renovation cost about $5 million, and the campus has seen another $1 million spent on new roofing, wireless access and ADA improvements.
» Dos Pueblos High School has had $6.2 million worth of HVAC replacement done as well as some paving, cafeteria road construction and wireless access.

A ministerial meeting of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) has reiterated the resolution to draft a roadmap concerning the establishment of a Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP).
The annual APEC Ministers Responsible for Trade Meeting, which wrapped up Sunday in China's eastern city of Qingdao, released a statement saying the move formed part of "concrete steps towards eventual realization of an FTAAP."
Gao Hucheng, China's minister of commerce, said it will lay the foundation for the FTAAP and a "Committee on Trade and Investment Friends of the Chair Group" will be set up to advance the process.
The roadmap is expected to be finalized within this year, the statement said, eight years after the idea of a free trade area of APEC economies was first proposed.
Established in 1989, APEC has played a significant role in driving global and regional economic growth. Its 21 members contributed approximately 57 percent of the world's GDP and 46 percent of world trade last year.

UN envoy expected in Libya next week to discuss humanitarian, political issues
11 March 2011 – A special United Nations envoy to Libya is expected to arrive in Tripoli, the capital, early next week for humanitarian and political talks amid growing concern at the death toll from fighting between and Colonel Muammar Al-Qadhafi's forces and opponents seeking his ouster.
The envoy, former Jordanian Foreign Minister Abdul Ilah Khatib, will leave New York over the weekend with a team of senior UN humanitarian, political and human rights officials, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told reporters. Fighting has intensified in recent days with Mr. Qadhafi's forces launching air, land and sea attacks against his opponents who have captured several cities in the east. More than 230,000 refugees have fled to Egypt, Tunisia and other neighbouring States.
"Our most immediate challenge is humanitarian. With each day, the death toll mounts and the situation of the Libyan people grows more desperate. We have all seen how the fighting has escalated. Civilians have borne the brunt of the violence. Increasingly, they are being targeted," Mr. Ban said, with Mr. Khatib at his side.
"My message has been strong and consistent. The violence must stop. Humanitarian aid must get to those in need. Those responsible for violence against civilians will be held accountable. A peaceful resolution must be found."
Mr. Khatib's team will assess the situation on the ground and "undertake broad consultations with Libyan authorities on the immediate humanitarian, political and security situation," Mr. Ban said, stressing that he has instructed the envoy to convey "in no uncertain terms" the concerns of the UN and the international community as expressed in Security Council resolutions.
In a unanimously adopted resolution the Council last month imposed sanctions against the Libyan authorities, placing an arms embargo against the country and freezing the assets of its leaders, while referring the ongoing violent repression of civilian demonstrators to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, Netherlands.
ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo subsequently announced that he is opening an investigation into Mr. Al-Qadhafi, some of his sons and members of his inner circle for crimes against humanity in repressing peaceful protesters in violence that has claimed hundreds or even thousands of lives, according to media reports. Mr. Ban has said Mr. Qadhafi lost his legitimacy when he declared war on his people.
Today he said Mr. Khatib will need to consult broadly with Libyan authorities and other parties, as well as with neighbouring states and regional organizations, on how best to resolve the crisis. He expected the visit to last several days, and Libyan Foreign Minister Musa Kusa welcomed it in a telephone conversation on Wednesday.
Asked specifically about Mr. Khatib's political role, Mr. Ban replied: "At this time we expect that we need to take urgent action to stop all the violence. This has very serious humanitarian implications. So he will focus on putting an end to the violence. But I expect that he will be engaged in a broader dimension of this crisis, including political issues."
Mr. Khatib said he understood the complex nature of his task and the gravity of the situation on the ground. "I start my mission hoping that this effort that I undertake on behalf of the international community will succeed in stopping the killings and ending the suffering of the civilian population in addressing their humanitarian needs and in preserving the unity of the Libyan people and the territorial integrity of their homeland," he added.
The UN refugee agency reported today that evacuation flights for migrant workers and other foreigners fleeing Libya were not keeping pace with the number of people crossing to Tunisia and Egypt. Arrivals at the Tunisian border average 2,500 people a day but evacuation flights take only 800 to 1,200 people daily.
"Currently, there are 17,000 people at the Choucha border transit camp comprising 25 nationalities, most of them Bangladeshi," UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) spokesperson Melissa Fleming told a news briefing in Geneva, estimating the current shortage of long-haul flights at 70.
New arrivals continue to describe many checkpoints between Tripoli and the Ras Adjir border crossing with Tunisia, with some saying it is in excess of 100. UNHCR has also heard consistent reports that telephones, SIM cards and cash have been taken at these checkpoints. "We have also heard numerous accounts of threats and discrimination on the basis of skin colour throughout the country," Ms. Fleming said.
A young man from Zimbabwe, interviewed in Tunisia, said he fled Tripoli after a gang broke into his house and attacked his mother and sister, dousing them with gasoline and burning them alive. "I can't sleep; I keep seeing them in front of my eyes," he said. "I have nobody now."
Most refugees are migrant males and the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) said the numbers of children and women were still low, but rising. Today there were some 215 women and 120 children on the Tunisian border, mostly Somali, spokesperson Marixie Mercado told the Geneva briefing. On the Egyptian border there were 70 children and 87 children as of Wednesday.
The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) today voiced serious concern at the impact of the crisis on food security both in Libya and surrounding countries due to dependency on cereal imports, possible disruptions to the flow of goods and services and population displacements.
"Depletion of food stocks and loss of rural manpower are all factors that in the longer term could seriously affect food security," FAO Emergency Operations Services Chief Daniele Donati said.
On a more positive note, the UN World Food Programme (WFP) said the ship carrying almost 1,200 tons of wheat flour which had been forced to turn around a week ago due to the aerial bombardments in Benghazi, the main city held by Qadhafi opponents in eastern Libya, had now arrived in the city with food for some 94,000 people for a month.
For its part, the UN World Health Organization (WHO) has brought five health kits to local hospitals in Djerba, Tunisia, to treat 50,000 over three months. The material will be used inside Libya once the access is established, or at the border if needed.
Meanwhile, the UN Human Rights Council announced the three high-level experts to the independent international Commission of Inquiry it set up last month to investigate alleged violations of international human rights law in Libya.
They are Egyptian jurist Cherif Bassiouni, a UN war crimes expert, who has served the UN in a number of capacities, as chairman; Jordanian/Palestinian lawyer Asma Khader, a well known human rights advocate who serves on the executive committee of the International Commission of Jurists; and Canadian lawyer Philippe Kirsch, who served as an ICC judge from 2003 to 2009 and was its first president.

Union thugs, who forced the closure of Hostess, and the death of the Twinkies always feel 'relief' at losing their jobs. Of the 18,500 jobs that were lost because of union thuggery, about 5,000 were union. The other 13,500 weren't union workers, and now have no income before Thanksgiving and Christmas. I don't think these people have the same 'relief' as the union thugs. The union thugs can now collect tax payer funded unemployment, and leech off the government, something union thugs, leftists, and progressives are quite familiar with.
Lamont Phillips, an employee, said the company had been, "holding this over our head for a long time," and he was relieved he did not "have to deal with that anymore."
"They always hold that over our heads, that they'll close it down," he said. "So, I'm like, 'OK. Close it down.'"
Phillips said his potential layoff was a "relief" and his "plan is to find another job."
"We have unemployment, but nobody wants unemployment without the health benefits. So, we're pretty much going to find another job," Phillips said.
Tressy Daniel, who worked at the plant for 26 years, said she thought her losing her job was going to be a "victory for her."
"I know I'm out of a job, but I still feel myself as coming out with a victory," she said. "When one door closes, another will open for you."
