Race battle may be won, but not the war
China was severely criticised by the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination at a meeting in Geneva last month. It was not unexpected, as the hearings came in the wake of riots in Tibet last year and in Xinjiang this year.
Hong Kong, whose report was part of the Chinese one, got off relatively lightly, mostly because it was able to point to the fact that, at long last, it had finally adopted a race discrimination ordinance.
The committee made clear its approval by saying at the outset that it welcomed the move. It was gracious enough not to point out that such a law had only come into effect this year - 40 years after the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination was first extended to Hong Kong.
Hong Kong officials had opposed such legislation, first by denying the existence of racial discrimination, then acknowledging that the problem existed but insisting that education, not legislation, was the way to tackle it. But the committee persevered in pressing for a law. In 2001, for example, it reiterated its concern about the continued absence of race discrimination legislation, adding pointedly: 'The committee does not accept the argument put forward for not initiating such legislation, i.e., that such legislation would not be supported by the society as a whole.'
Even with the law in place, the committee was concerned about the ordinance's definition of racial discrimination and recommended that 'indirect discrimination with regard to language, immigration status and nationality be included among the prohibited grounds of discrimination'.
It pointed out that the new law 'only covers certain government activities and exercise of its powers' and recommended that 'all government functions and powers be brought within the scope' of the ordinance.
These issues were debated fiercely when the Legislative Council examined the draft ordinance. The government insisted that discrimination against mainland migrants would not be covered because it was not racial, but social, discrimination. It also refused to allow all the government's functions and powers to be covered by the law.
The committee reiterated its concern for domestic migrant workers, and again called for the repeal of the 'two-week rule', under which foreign domestic helpers must leave Hong Kong within two weeks after termination of their contract.
In response to the committee's criticism, the Hong Kong government said that 'acts done on the ground of nationality and immigration status do not constitute acts done on the ground of 'race',' and that this 'would not narrow the definition of race' in the ordinance. It added that the law's protection 'applies equally to all persons in Hong Kong, regardless of their nationality or immigration status'.
But such a response is misleading since the government is, in effect, saying that mainland migrants are protected if anyone discriminates against them because of their race, not because they are new migrants.
It also tries to obscure the issue of government culpability by saying 'there is an extensive framework of organisations that deal with complaints against a government department' and 'any racially discriminatory act of the government is also subject to the court's supervisory jurisdiction'.
It would have been far better if the government had simply allowed all its actions to be governed by the ordinance.
Clearly, just as it had taken many years for Hong Kong to finally have a race discrimination ordinance on the books, it will also take many years before the government allows the law to be truly effective. The fight against racial discrimination in Hong Kong is by no means over.

National League Standings, August 30, 1973
Jose Cruz singles home Lou Brock in the bottom of the tenth for the only run of the game, and the Mets (61-71) will spend the night in last place for the final time this season. The Mets go 21-8 the rest of the way and win the NL East.
Ed Koch
September 8, 2004
The Mets had just gotten out of last place the day before, and this loss put them back in last place for the last time that season. It was pretty devastating and should have effectively ended the season but we all know what happened in September.
Example One
The Mets suck! They need to trade Smith and get somebody like
This comment is off-topic and will be removed. It has nothing to do with
any specific game. But here's an acceptable alternative:
Example Two
The Mets suck! Smith made three errors in this game, and hit into a
double play, and the Mets blew a 5-0 lead. They need to get rid of Smith
and get somebody like Jones.

TORONTO — Sarah Allen, one of the stars of Global's drama series Remedy, will appear opposite Indian film star Randeep Hooda in Canadian director Deepa Mehta's new film Inland.
The movie, described as an "action-packed family drama," is set to begin production in Toronto in mid-July.
In addition to Remedy, Allen starred as Rebecca Flynt in the Montreal-shot series Being Human. The Canadian actress has also had roles in 19-2, Little Mosque on the Prairie and Nikita.
Hooda, 37, made his Bollywood debut in Mira Nair's 2001 film Monsoon Wedding and recently starred in the Indian feature Highway.
Also starring in Inland — which will reportedly be produced in English, Hindi and Punjabi — are veteran Indian actors Gulshan Grover and Kulbushan Kharbanda.
Award-winning Toronto-based composer Mychael Danna, whose wife Aparna is Indo-Canadian, is working on the film's score and Antoinette Messam is designing costumes.
Mehta's previous films include Water, Bollywood/Hollywood and 2012's Midnight's Children. Inland will be co-produced by her husband, David Hamilton.

Josh and I replaced the anchor to the first pitch of the Center Route which was done in 1970 by Price, Yates and Anderson. The anchor had been removed a few years ago by a member of the FA of Stonequest which was put up many years later.
The first 100' of Stonquest is actually the start to the Center Route. At the end of the crack move right about 10' to the anchor. This first pitch is only about 5.6/7, protects well and a nice alternative for those not up to the upper pithes of the Center Route or Stonequest. Can rap with a 60m rope but watch the ends of your rope that won't quite touch the ground.

Excellent route. A couple of comments....
Big thanks to Jeff and Josh for replacing or beefing up the aging hardware on this thing; very much appreciated. The climbing and rock on this route is varied, consistent, and outstanding; hand cracks, seams, featured face, and runout smearing are all here.
One of the comments above states that this route may be a little heady for the budding leader. I would actually say that this route is not a good route for a new leader at all. I think that any of the climbing that is 5.8 is nearish to a bolt, so the crux climbing is not a problem. However, the route (in particular the second pitch) has a ton of 5.5-5.7 climbing where there is easily 20-25 feet between gear. On top of this, the gear that keeps the runouts under 25 feet is good, but small and may not be obvious to newer leaders who aren't savvy with creative nut work. This means that the 20 foot runouts could easily become 40 foot sections. I found my HB offsets to be clutch pieces; sizes between 4-7 turned mediocre nut placements into pretty bomber gear in several locations that even my smallest zero cams would not fit. That said, the rock is beautiful and if you are comfortable running 20 feet of friction off of belays, then don't hesitate to get on this because it is a stellar route.

A classic. We had it to ourselves yesterday in t-shirts. There's nothing like Yosemite in winter.
Using a 60m we were able to link the last two pitches with about 20 ft of simul-climbing. I'm guessing that with a 70m these would link w/o problem.

I agree with the comment above about this route not being for new leaders. It is important to have a very cool head to stay on top of this route.
Otherwise, the sun was already there as early as 9am and stays all day. Approach is short, views are terrific and the rappel is straightforward. It is a pretty good climb.
And thank you to whoever added new bolts at the anchors!

Identifying Phishing Threats in Government Web Services
The governmental use of web technologies, including e-Government, has many advantages for citizens, but progress in this relationship has highlighted information security as an important issue in preserving a citizen's privacy. Unfortunately, unique governmental characteristics lead users to authenticate its service unwillingly; users may investigate service's possible and likely vulnerabilities carelessly when perceiving trustworthiness. In this paper, the authors study a threat model about how government web services become privacy leak targets, especially through phishing attacks. They identify three service characteristics, sensitivity, involuntarity, and linkability, and illustrate how phishers can effectively exploit these characteristics.

Food For Thought 4.15.09
"Are the people who seek to restrict the use of tobacco everywhere--and for everyone--the same people who seek to promote the use of marijuana?" (Leonard Welsh of Plano, as quoted by the Dallas Morning News. Not sure if they are the same people, but the generation responsible for such restrictions--as well as the concept that no student should receive failing grades and all kids should get a chance to start on the team--is the one that embraced Haight-Ashbury and, later, Studio 54.)

'For about 3 months I felt panic attacks and was brooding on my own mortality,' she says.
'Death does bother me, there's no doubt about it.'
Fortunately Richard, 52, is the opposite.
'Richard is so good with me when I'm feeling gloomy,' she tells Seven. 'He's an extrovert. Always happy. It's a gift.'

With temperatures on the increase, it's the ideal time to get out and enjoy the sunshine - but make sure you don't leave the door open for burglars! The number of unforced burglary claims increased by 12% last summer, with a 34% increase in value compared to the winter months, and Lloyds Bank Home Insurance has provided its top tips for homeowners to ensure they don't become victims this summer.
Senior claims manager Tim Downes says: "When it's warm outside people often leave windows and doors open to keep cool, but many don't realise that burglaries often happen while the homeowners are at home, as opportunist burglars reach in through open doors and windows to grab whatever they can. Small items such as jewellery, wallets, car keys, and smartphones are particularly at risk. We'd recommend people close windows when they are not in the room and lock their front door when they are out in the back garden."
Lock the front door when you're out in the garden
Keep windows closed when you're not in the room
Don't leave valuables within easy reach or visible through windows
Mark your valuables with an ultra violet pen to help police trace them if they are stolen
Keeping receipts can help in the event of a claim
Consider installing a safe for small valuables such as jewellery, watches and credit cards
Fit visible, key operated window and door locks and keep them locked, particularly on the ground floor of properties
Don't leave keys hidden outside as burglars know where to look

lupo, oluwa, & oopsydoopsygirl,
my name is ms. paula, I just found this site recently.
I have lived with lupus since 1990. my mother died from it in 1984.
I know and understand what you are going through.
I have already been there -- several times !! if you have good doctors,techs,nurses,labs,then be selfish and think of your needs
first, you can stop alot of the pain and stress. find the middle that you can
handle,with diet,health care,meds,down time,making the bed,doing the dishes. everything you do has a middle,you have to work towards that goal each day.
if your tired - rest, if your hungry - eat, if your sleepy - sleep. you are going to learn that this illness is "BIG TIME" bad stuff !!! but if you are a
whimp -- it will take you down a miserable road that will show you where bottom "IS". don't go there !! if you need someone to be there for you then your on the right website. we all can help each other. I have been to the point that I know what the words; crazy,depressed,loony,tired,lonesome,grippy,misera ble, and yes suicide,
means.but I made my mind up there are other words that can come into play; hopeful,cheery,upbeat,active,socialize, so remember I'm ready to help.
may each day be full of happiness for you all !!!!

Rustler men falter on third day in CasperApr 24, 2012 By Bruce Tippets, Sports Editor
Stetson Jorgensen provided the bright spot for the Central Wyoming College men's rodeo squad Sunday, finishing second in the all-around chase at Casper College.
Jorgensen scored 140 points in the three-day rodeo.
The University of Wyoming's Tyler Schnaufer won the top buckle with 145 points.
Jorgensen ended fourth in steer wrestling (32.5 seconds) and fifth in bull riding (62 points). Jorgensen was bucked off his second bull on Sunday.
Other CWC rodeo members had good days on Friday and Saturday, but struggled Sunday. CWC ended up seventh in the team standings with 260 points.
"We set ourselves up again to have a real good rodeo, and then we didn't finish it off on Sunday," CWC men's rodeo coach Rick Smith said. "That has been the trademark of these guys. These guys just don't finish off good."
Laramie County Community College emerged as the winner (515 points). Casper College finished second (480 points) and Gillette College came in third (345).
"You have to finish the deal on Sunday," Smith said. "That is what college rodeo is all about. Sunday is the money day. That is when you have to perform."
CWC's Charlie Kogianes and Colton Miller are fighting for a top-three position in the Central Rocky Mountain Regional standings in saddle bronc riding.
The top three cowboys qualify for the College National Finals Rodeo.
Kogianes finished fourth in Casper College by scoring 108 points on two rides.
"Charlie just toughed it out," Smith said. "He had two horses that bucked pretty hard. Charlie got some much-needed points."
In the regional standings, Miller is second (635 points) and Kogianes stands third (610).
"Charlie and Colton are in a really tight race for qualification to the College National Finals Rodeo," Smith said.
County cowboys
A pair of cowboys with Fremont County ties placed high in Casper College.
Former Riverton High School cowboy Matthew Schieck (Sheridan) and partner Kelsey Scott (Chadron State) won the team roping competition (14.3 seconds).
In steer wrestling, former Lander Valley High School cowboy Riley Krassin finished second (13.4) for Casper College.

Ok, I know it's not something I should really be sad about but my favorite Mexican restaurant, El Chico, has closed. Luckily, we went on Saturday and got one last chance to partake in their delicious entrees. Honestly, they had the best salsa, the best rice by far, and these awesome spinach enchiladas. I shed a tear for the passing of a Tallahassee legacy.

I had basal cell carcinoma on my nose. Apparently it was about the size of a pea and I had MOH's surgery to remove it. The following day I had plastic surgery to close it up. I believe I have about 20 stitches currently. The plastic surgeon did a skin flap reconstruction from skin from my nose.
The skin flap pulled skin from my left eye. It is extremely tight and looks lopsided and makes my eye really tired. Will it loosen up and even out when the stitches are out?

Roy Hibbert was unorthodox in his agility and offensive post moves when he was traded away from Toronto on the same night that the Raptors had selected him. This past season he made his first NBA All-Star Game.
That work ethic and desire to improve is what it takes to be an Indiana Pacer, and those traits are exactly what Solomon Hill possesses. The franchise selected the Arizona senior forward with the 23rd selection of the 2013 NBA Draft on Thursday.
"Solomon is a guy that has done it the right way," Ball State men's basketball coach James Whitford said. "He's worked really hard over the last four years."
Whitford would know about Hill's development. The new Cardinal coach recruited Hill to Arizona four years ago, and worked with him throughout his career with the Wildcats as the Arizona associate head coach.
When Hill left Fairfax High School in Los Angeles, he did so with a horde of accolades, but less of a well-rounded game. He quickly learned that the competition in the Pac-12 was a whole other level than what he had ever dealt with and he had to diversify his skill set in order to play.
"Solomon was very sought after in high school," Indiana General Manager Kevin Pritchard said following the selection. "Then he got to Arizona and maybe took a step down. When players do that, they have to recreate themselves."
Hill was a skilled ball handler, Whitford said, but he went to work and made himself into a ball handler who could also shoot.
"He turned himself into a shooter with a great handle," Whitford said. "He became a 40 percent three-point shooter and he did that progressively. And he still has a terrific handle and terrific first step."
Hill averaged less than seven points per game as a freshman and made just four 3-pointers. As a senior, the 6-foot-7, 220-pound athlete sank 57 3-pointers and averaged nearly 14 points per game for one of the nation's elite programs.
"He kind of recreated himself from a more power player to a more face-up guy that can really make plays for other people," Pritchard said. "He positioned down and we like that he (did that). I'm not sure he can defend a 4 (power forward) in the NBA, maybe in certain situations, but what we really like is that he can defend the 3, 2, and the 1 (positions)."
Hill had an opportunity to come out in the 2012 Draft and be selected in the second round, but he took a chance – which recent NBA Draft history shows that remaining in college rarely pays dividends – and worked his way into a better position.
"A lot of times guys that have followed his path for four years haven't been rewarded," Whitford said. "It's so great to see Solomon get what he deserves through all of his efforts, in being a first round pick with a guaranteed contract with a great organization like the Indiana Pacers."
Pritchard said that he wasn't concerned with Hill's staying at Arizona, as long as his game continued to progress.
"We don't mind if he plays one year, three years or four years," Pritchard said. "If they are improving, if you see steps in the player, that means that they are putting in the work. Solomon did that."
Hill will initially compete with reserve wings Gerald Green, Orlando Johnson, Sam Young (if re-signed) and Lance Stephenson for playing time. Pritchard explained on a team of the ability of the Pacers that would be hard for a younger player to have a legitimate chance of doing.
"It's harder to bring in a 19-year-old kid and say 'Hey, let's go compete for a championship,' unless you are picking in the top 10," Pritchard said. "Just in Solomon's development, he is physically developed and he can step on the floor (immediately)."

Today, science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) are crucial fields when it comes to driving innovation, yet businesses in the United States are finding it increasingly difficult to recruit qualified STEM employees into their workforce due to a skills gap. According to the Gates Foundation, just 25% of high school graduates in the United States have the necessary skills to prepare them for college and the workforce. Technological innovation in the education sector is one part of the Gates Foundation's three-pronged approach to education reform, and social enterprises such as Khan Academy have responded to this issue through providing an open source, online platform so anyone can access a world-class education.
On the grassroots level, Roshni Mirchandani, a 2011 graduate of the D'Amore-McKim School of Business with concentrations in Finance, Marketing, and Social Entrepreneurship, and current Teach for America Corp member has successfully harnessed coding and other educational-focused technologies into her class's 8th math curriculum.
As an active participant in the Social Enterprise Institute field study programs, Mirchandani felt compelled to "do something that made a larger impact on society as a whole." After graduation, Mirchandani joined Teach for America's 2011 Corps, serving as an 7th and 8th grade math teacher in Providence, Rhode Island.
Her sharp focus on incorporating technology into the math curriculum was first ignited by a grant that placed iPads in the classroom, and the positive response it generated among students. "Student engagement levels were at its highest when they were on the tablets — and understandably so, since our students have grown up in the digital age. It was only natural to teach using the tools that they use everyday instead of forcing them to digest information from textbooks, said Mirchandani.
While many teachers are hesitant to embrace tech-centric classroom, Mirchandani has made considerable gains in her classroom and has the power to mitigate education inequity. "I believe that integrating technology in the classroom is a possible solution to educational inequity. Even in a low-income school with students entering 3-4 grade levels behind, educational technology helped my students demonstrate the highest growth in math scores in the entire state on the Rhode Island State Assessment (NECAP)." For Mirchandai's students, 90% of which live below the poverty line, "venturing into more real-life applications, students were finally able to grasp why it was important to learn math in school. By teaching them how school applies to daily life and how they can craft their own journey, I hope to show my students the value of education."
Despite the success Mirchandani and her students have shared as a result of technology in the classroom, she asserts that ed-tech is not a panacea and requires experimentation and student input. "There is no one-size-fits-all answer to tech integration — what may work in one classroom may not for another. For example, I had some colleagues who loved using Khan Academy. I actually stopped using it in my class because it wasn't working for my students," said Mirchandani.
In addition to impacting her student's lives and potentially career trajectories, the ed-tech space has inspired Mirchandani to scale technology in the classroom. I would like to spread the impact of educational technology and help other teachers and schools bring innovation into their classroom. I would also like to work with ed-tech companies to ensure that their products are feasible in the classroom and will help teachers instead of burdening them."

Madhuri Dixit launches music of `Gulaab Gang`
New Delhi: Madhuri Dixit has launched the music of her upcoming film `Gulaab Gang` in Varanasi.
Speaking at the event organized in collaboration with Amar Ujala`s ` Beti hi bachayegi` campaign, the 46-year-old ` Devdas` star said, "The belief of Rajjo`s character in the film Gulaab Gang is that daughters will be the only saviour, which is what Amar Ujala is trying to say through this campaign and I congratulate them through this and would like to say that I am really happy that Gulaab Gang is also a part of it".
Several fans of the stars turned up at the event wearing pink caps to show their support.
` Gulaab Gang`, directed by Soumik Sen, will see Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla working together for the first time and will hit screens across India on 7 March, a day prior to the International Women`s Day.

A short time since the ship Phasis, which arrived at Lyttelton, from Calcutta, brought a boats crew - the captain, second officer, and ten men -that the master of the Phasis had picked up at sea. They had belonged to a Dutch ship named the Albasserwaard, which took fire, and they had been compelled to abandon her. From their report the other boats crew had not been heard from, but the following taken from a Montrose (Scotland) paper, announces the arrival of the missing boat at Cape Town. There was therefore, no lives lost:- "Cape Town, January 15th - The Alblasserwaard, from Sheilds for Batavia was abandoned on fire November 28th, in latitude 35.5 N., 80E. Part of the crew are known to be safe. Nothing known of the remainder - captain, second officer, and 10 men." The news of the arrival at Lyttelton of the Captain and men had clearly not reached the Cape at the time the above was written.
The Melbourne Argus of March 31st states it is conjectured that the ship Loch Maree may have been wrecked on some of the islands of New Zealand, and assigns as a reason for such a conjecture that the only intelligence of the Loch Maree (which left Geelong on the 29th of October last year, and is now over 152 days out) has been that given by Captain Murdoch, of the barque Don Diego, who was in company with the Loch Maree off Kent's Group on October 30th. The Don Diego was bound for Otago through Foveaux Straits, and before entering there encountered a heavy northerly gale. The sea was very high at the time, and the weather thick, and the vessels lost sight of each other. The gale veered round west about to S.E. and raged with great fury for some hours.

The ship Misty Hall, which arrived at Melbourne on June 1st
from London, very narrowly escaped being blown up by gunpowder, the disaster
only being averted by the strenuous exertions of Captain Kilvert, ably assisted
by his officers and crew. On leaving London she had among other cargo many cases
of acids stowed on deck before the main hatchway and in the hold in the square
of the hatch there were about 22 tons of gunpowder. During the night of the 9th
March, the position of the ship being then 4 north and 24 west the chemicals
burst into flames, which rose to fully seven feet high. Captain Kilvert, with
his officers and crew, immediately set to work, and succeeded in throwing
overboard the cases. After accomplishing this it was discovered that the main
hatch tarpaulin had been ignited, and on stripping it off it was discovered that
portion of the fire had descended through the hatches, and was in close
proximity to the powder stowed there. Immediately steps were taken to throw the
powder overboard. A quantity was so disposed of before the fire existing about
it was put out. Owing to the burns and injuries received, the master and others
were more or less incapacitated from work during nearly the whole remainder of
the voyage.

MAX-FM's Most Beautiful Guest Yet – Maxim Model Courtney James Visits the Studio! [PICTURES,VIDEO]
The other day I was asked by a friend if I had seen the girl from Fort Collins, Courtney James, who was in Maxim Magazine. I was sad to say that I hadn't, but I was quick to do some investigating. I am a guy so needless to say i liked what I saw. A pretty girl from our area making a national magazine sounded like a good interview so I contacted her. Next thing I knew I had Courtney in my studio and I must say, I felt a little like Howard Stern!
Courtney is part of Maxim's "Hometown Hotties" competition. Over 1,000 girls from around the U.S. started out competing for votes in order to move on to the semi final round. Courtney got the votes she needed to make it though the first round and in the coming weeks will compete for more votes to get her into the finals. The winner of the whole deal gets a full spread in a coming issue of Maxim.
Beings that this is an article about a pretty girl, I know you don't want to do a whole lot of reading, and would like to get on with seeing what Courtney is all about. So here is the video proof I actually got to hang out with a Maxim model, and she even sported a MAX-FM shirt and claimed to listen to us!Thanks to Drew Bankston of Star Painter Productions, for the video!

You Bet Your Life
Groucho Marx knew the secret word was enjoyment.
(continued from page 1)
Groucho had been an inveterate cigar smoker since he was a 15-year-old adolescent playing in small-time vaudeville. He'd picked up the habit from an old vaudevillian who had tipped him off that a cigar was the most useful prop an actor could carry with him on the stage. "If you forget a line," my father once confessed to me, "all you have to do is stick the cigar in your mouth and puff on it until you can think of what you've forgotten." In his youth, Groucho was too poor to smoke anything but nickel cigars. Only once before he came into big money did he loosen up enough to spend a dime for one. This was the result of an advertisement he had seen for a brand of ten cent pure Havanas called La Preferencias. The ad fascinated him, for it promised the smoker "Thirty glorious minutes in Havana."
Twenty minutes later the cigar had burned down so short that it was scorching his fingertips. Feeling he'd been taken for a ride, he brought the remnants of the cigar back to the man who had sold it to him and laid it down on the counter.
"The ad said 'Thirty minutes in Havana,"' the irate, young Groucho complained, pointing to his watch, "and it's only been 20 minutes. What are you going to do about it?" In the face of such righteous indignation, the cigar salesman had no alternative but to give him a second stogie without charge. The second cigar survived the alarm clock for only 15 minutes. Again Groucho took it back and again the cigar merchant gave him a replacement.
The third and fourth cigars proved no better, and when Groucho trotted in with the fifth one burned down to a nub, hopeful of a sixth La Preferencia on the house, the salesman was convinced that he was the victim of a skin game and booted him out onto the sidewalk.
"You couldn't believe the advertising in those days any more than you can now," commented father, after telling me his sad story.
My father had a reputation for being thrifty, unnecessarily so for a man of his fame and fortune. And he was pretty tight-fisted in strange ways. He wouldn't, for example, check his hat with the hatcheck girl when he was entering a classy restaurant such as Chasen's or '21'. "If I spend all that money to eat in a fancy restaurant," he used to complain to me, "I think it's outrageous for the management to expect me to buy back my hat. At those prices they ought to let me hang it up for nothing."
To get around this "highway robbery," he'd wear a beret instead of his customary Fedora to a restaurant. Then, just before he stepped inside, he'd fold up the beret and stuff it into the pocket of his jacket. That way, he could cheat the hatcheck girl out of a quarter.
He was equally resentful of having to leave his car with the parking attendant at the front entrance, and having to tip him on his way out after dinner. If he could find a parking space on the street, even if it was two blocks away and it was raining, he'd leave his Cadillac there and walk the rest of the way to the bistro. Sometimes he'd leave his hat and topcoat in the car, too, to avoid tipping the hatcheck girl. He discontinued this practice, however, after he parked his car in an unpoliced neighborhood one night. When he came back later he found his car stolen--along with his topcoat and Fedora.
The one area where he wouldn't stint was on buying smoking materials. By the end of his life he was smoking two-dollar cigars without thinking twice about it.
Occasionally he enjoyed smoking a pipe. On a rack on a bookshelf behind his desk in his study he had an impressive collection of straight-grain Dunhills, and a number of different tins of imported British pipe tobacco.
It was Groucho who introduced me to tobacco. When I dropped out of USC after my freshman year, in 1941, I decided to spend my time writing instead of taking required courses like botany and physics, which I had no interest in or talent for. Since every writer I knew smoked a pipe, I thought it might help my prose to have a pipe in my mouth while I was pounding on my Remington.
Without telling father I purchased a cheap corncob pipe at a tobacco store in Beverly Hills and stuck it in my mouth, hoping for inspiration. I didn't have any tobacco in it. I just sucked the stem to give the effect I was smoking.
One morning Groucho walked in unexpectedly and surprised me with the pipe in my mouth. "Who do you think you are with that cheap corncob pipe in your kisser--General MacArthur?!" he exclaimed. "I'll give you a real pipe."
With that he went straight back to his bedroom and returned a few moments later carrying a straight-grain Dunhill--one that cost about $75--and dropped it on my desk. "Try this one on for size," he said. "Just don't smoke until you're finished with your tennis career." At the time I was the fifth ranked 18-year-old tennis player in the United States.
I promised him I'd lay off the tobacco until I was through with athletics. But after two months of sucking on a beautiful pipe that reeked of expensive tobacco and still had the taste in its bit, I could no longer resist the temptation of trying the real thing.
So one morning when I thought father was out walking the dog, I filled the bowl of my prized Dunhill with Dream Castle pipe tobacco that I'd bought at the same store that sold me the corncob, and after several false starts, fired it up with a kitchen match.
I was just getting the knack of keeping a pipe lit when I heard father's footsteps coming down the hall towards my open bedroom door.
Knowing he'd disapprove, I quickly stashed the lighted pipe in the bottom drawer of my desk and closed it. But there was no way I could rid the room of the cloud of acrid smoke hanging over my chair, or the smell of cheap tobacco.
As Groucho entered, he took one whiff of the smoke, stopped in his tracks, and stared at me under raised eyebrows. But instead of bawling me out, he wheeled around and strode back down the hall to his bedroom. When he returned a couple of minutes later I expected him to he carrying a bullwhip. Instead he had a handful of pipes, a can of Dunhill tobacco and a box of Dunhill 410s. He spread all this tobacco paraphernalia out on the desk in front of me and said, "If you're going to smoke, smoke some decent tobacco. That stuff you're smoking smells like horse manure."
"You mean, you want me to smoke?" I asked.
"I don't want you to, but if you're old enough to join the army,
you re old enough to do what you want."
"You mean that?"
"Hell yes. I was smoking when I was only fifteen. And I had the clap when I was sixteen. But if you insist on smoking, promise me one thing--that you do it in moderation. As long as you don't smoke too much, and stay away from cigarettes, it'll never hurt you."
To show that he meant it, three years later, after we were in the war with Japan, and I, as a member of the U.S. Coast Guard, was stationed on a remote island in the South Pacific, Groucho placed a standing order with Dunhill to ship me 50 of its 410s once a month. Of course my boxes of Dunhill cigars didn't always arrive intact. Not after the fleet postmaster, who apparently was a cigar aficionado himself, discovered what was in those mysterious aromatic packages from Dunhill addressed to Yeoman First Class, Arthur Marx.
But enough of my cigars escaped his clutches for me to have a good supply on hand when I was assigned by the Coast Guard Commander to organize a show for the express purpose of entertaining my fellow servicemen in the South Pacific Theater, after General MacArthur had retaken the Philippines. I was told that the big USO shows, such as Bob Hope's and Rudy Vallee's, never quite made it to the small, outer islands; and since the boys in Leyte, where I was stationed, were starved for entertainment, I was chosen--because of my background--to throw a show together, and also perform in it as its comedian/emcee.
Because I wasn't too sure of myself at the mike in front of a couple of thousand screaming servicemen, I tried smoking a cigar and using it as a prop whenever I was on stage--just as Groucho had told me he had done when he was doing a show. To my surprise, it worked like a charm and loosened me up enough to get through a performance without looking like an amateur.
After we'd played the show around the islands for a few weeks, the Coast Guard's PR department got wind of the fact that I was Groucho's son and insisted on photographing me wearing a pith helmet and greasepaint mustache, à la Groucho in Animal Crackers.
In the printed photo, I looked surprisingly like Groucho's Captain Spaulding--so much so that the United Press picked it up and sold it to many of its subscribers back in the States.
A few weeks later I received a stern letter from Groucho.
Dear Big Feet:
When I opened the L.A. Times this morning I saw a picture of you as Captain Spaulding. Well you could have knocked me over with a feather, a horsefeather, that is. Until then I had thought you were in the South Pacific defending your country. Now I find out you're out there stealing my act. Well, I want this to stop immediately, or I will have to take it up with my lawyer.
Sincerely yours,
Doctor Hugo C. Hackenbush
Doctor Hugo C. Hackenbush
He was kidding about suing me, of course, as he generally was about everything. But the one thing he was perfectly serious about was the advice he'd given me about smoking in moderation.
And it must be good advice. He was still smoking cigars in his 80s, in spite of his doctor's admonition that he ought to quit.

Two More Mondays of Thelonious MONK
Thelonious Sphere Monk, recognized as one of the most inventive pianists of any musical genre, he achieved a startling original sound that even his most devoted followers have been unable to successfully imitate. His musical vision was both ahead of it's time and deeply rooted in the tradition. He shares with Edward "Duke" Ellington the distinction of being one of the century's greatest American composers.
Two more Mondays left to see Laurence Holder's hit play, MONK, about the life and times of Jazz genius, Thelonious Sphere Monk. The play will be in performance on Feb 15th, and Feb 22nd @7pm. at the world famous Nuyorican Poets Cafe.
For the February 22nd closing performance Rome Neal will have a special Banana Puddin' Jazz Jam & Open Mic event after the play, starting at 9pm. Purchase your tickets for the play and stay for the JAM all for $20. If you come down just for Rome's Banana Puddin' Jazz that night it's only $10!
MONK, the play received it's world premiere at the Nuyorican ten years ago and has since been seen by audiences all over the United States, from the east coast to the west coast and in the north and south. So come out and celebrate this play which has made it's footprints in Black History/Jazz History/American History........
