Jonathan Zimmerman: Blame football, not Title IX (LA Times)
Colleges are cutting other sports - and wrongly blaming the 1972 measure that outlawed sex discrimination in educational institutions receiving federal financial aid.


Froma Harrop: About the People Who Serve Us (Creators Syndicate)
A New York voice boomed from the back of the long car rental line: "Wha'd they do, lay off half the people?" One of my thoughts no doubt shared by fellow detainees waiting, waiting at the big-name car rental office at a Florida airport. Behind the desk flashed a screen informing us of the company's very high ratings for customer service. I was not the only one smirking.


Henry Rollins: The Unrelenting Misery of the Holidays (LA Weekly)
As you consume your sugarfied coffee drink, you look over your text pal's shoulder to see a gray-haired man writing in a notebook at great speed with unnerving intensity. That's me, you dumb bastard! I've been there for hours. In fact, it's my second shift. I was at the Starbucks in Burbank because they open at 0430.


Scott Burns: A Different Kind of Investing (AssetBuilder)
… I'm going to pursue a different theme in some of my columns this year. I call it Investing-Without-Money. …Tell me where to go to find people who are creating a good life with a little income, rather creating a good life by starting with a lot of income. If you're one of those people, send me a note. I'll call, maybe visit, tell your story and, just maybe, share some useful wisdom.


Erika Hayasaki: The meaning of life -- in a class on death (LA Times)
Norma Bowe's 'Death in Perspective' course went beyond violence, morbidity and grief, opening the door to insight on one thing that every person shares.

The Ross Sisters (YouTube)
The Ross Sisters were a trio of female sibling singing dancers consisting of Aggie Ross, Elmira Ross, and Maggie Ross, (whose real names were Veda Victoria, Dixie Jewel and Betsy Ann Ross). The Ross Sisters performed as a 3-part harmony trio, in which they also danced and did acrobatics and contortionism. Their public attention peaked during the 1940s, during which they were featured prominently in the film Broadway Rhythm.

Trivia Question of the Day


In 2013, who did Guinness World Records recognize as having the longest television career for a female entertainer?

                                  



Send your answer to Marty









Trivia Question from Yesterday


Born Jonathan Charasuchin, this actor had a degree in pharmacology from Fordham. By what name is he better known?


      Jonathan Harris                                                      Source


Jonathan Harris (born Jonathan Charasuchin; November 6, 1914 - November 3, 2002) was an American character actor. Two of his best-known roles were as the timid accountant Bradford Webster in the TV version of The Third Man and the prissy villain Dr. Zachary Smith of the 1960s science fiction television series Lost in Space. Near the end of his career, he provided the voice of "Manny", a praying mantis in the animated feature A Bug's Life.        Source






Marian was first, and correct, with:
   Jonathan Harris



Charlie wrote:
   Most familiar as Dr. Smith




Alan J responded:
   Jonathan Harris



Jim from CA, retired to ID, responded:
   Jonathan Harris



Adam answered:
   Jonathan Harris.



Sally said:
   Born Jonathan Charasuchin, actor Jonathan Harris had a degree in pharmacology from Fordham Un.

  Although he was born in NY, I did not know of him until I saw his photo. He remains an unknown character actor to me...
  PS: I have a friend who lives in Puerto Rico. I was commenting to her that if I were there, we could go to the beach and swim. To this she replied, "¡Dios mío, no one swims now, it's TOO COLD!" I have known this woman for over 40 years, and she still doesn't know that I am a Nordic woman! She has that 'warm climate, thin blood" that all the southerners seem to acquire when living in the heat...
  I like the beaches in PR, they have trees on the shore line! I must put another visit there on my bucket list!!




Lois In Space Of Oregon responded:
   Ah, now you speak of matters dear. Jonathan Harris was a delight! Who else could hold his own in a scene with a talking carrot (sad footnote: the carrot was later in a car accident and left a vegetable), and his reply to a question about his accent; "Are you British"? "No no, my dear. Just affected." I LOVE Doctor Smith AND Robot! Watching "Lost in Space" as an impressionable young girl helped make me the man I am today (a gay one trapped in a woman's body). Oh, how I miss the Golden Age of Everything.

  Ha! You thought, mebee, that I'd pick that dorkmeister "Dr. Smith" from "Lost in Space" ("Oh, the pain!"), eh? No way... Here ol' Jonathan depicts, of all people, Charles Dickens in a 5th season "Bonanza" episode... I catch "Bonanza" episodes, occasionally, in the late afternoon on the "TVLand" network. It's amazing the noted actors that were on that program as guests...

~~~~~

  Why, just last week I saw "Little Joe" beat up a 'bad guy' played by Charles Bronson. Yeah, right... Like, "Little Joe" could take ol' Charlie fer real.

~~~~~

  "Arctic Vortex be gone!" Moment - Earlier this week we had wind chills -25, or so. Today it was 41 with a spring-like sun... Go figure. Oh, and it rained hard and long yesterday on top of the 10" of snow we got Monday-Tuesday. Not the best ice fishing conditions, I'm tellin' ya...

  Happy Birthday this day to:

And, Joe S     answered:
   He first changed his occupation from pharmacist to wizard then magically changed his place of birth to Japan and his name to Jonathan Usuke in the mistaken belief it would help him to become a famous as an actor. That didn't work out at all, no one took him seriously because he neither looked nor sounded Japanese. He then reversed the magical spell and reverted to Jonathan Charasuchin and renounced his wizardly affiliation, but then everyone laughed at him so he changed his name to Jonathan Harris.
  After that he got acting jobs but was not famous until he landed the role of Dr. Zachary Smith on a stupid TV series called Lost in Space. He did well in this role because he wasn't acting, he was actually playing himself. He really was a self-serving, insufferable ass. Because of his role as Dr. Smith he became a "Famous Minor TV Personality." Sadly he never progressed beyond that.

KUDOS to the HFPA for the obvious slap to the Duck-fucking racist-loving A&E ilk who continue to plumb the depths of ignorant sheep who give up their cracker food-stamp/welfare at Wal-crap just to foist their merch. I suggest that we all pool $ to send copies of "Twelve Years.." off to the Robertson inbreds and offer free screenings at their "churches".

Interesting that no person of color won this year; guess the NFPA, ( made up of almost entirely white, European voters) might be feeling threatened?

Happier'n a smooth AMBM that "Breaking Bad" got its' final due!!

Blasts Canadian Government

Neil Young

Canadian rock icon Neil Young launched a blistering attack on the Harper government and Alberta's oilsands at a news conference on Sunday, saying that he was "shattered" after visiting a Fort McMurray industrial site he compared to the atomic bomb-devastated wreckage of Hiroshima, Japan.

Joined on the Massey Hall stage by representatives from the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, Young was especially scathing in his criticism of Prime Minister Stephen Harper's "hypocritical" administration, which Young said was ignoring science to irresponsibly drive corporate profits.

"Canada is trading integrity for money," said the environmentally engaged 68-year-old rocker. "That's what's happening under the current leadership in Canada, which is a very poor imitation of the George Bush administration in the United States and is lagging behind on the world stage. It's an embarrassment to any Canadians."

The Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation represents a community living roughly 200 kilometres downstream of current oilsands development. The group is embroiled in a legal battle to protect their traditional territory from further industrialization.

Young, who was born in Toronto before launching his storied music career in Winnipeg, was ferocious in his condemnation of what he sees as a violation of treaty rights.

Feted By Musicians

Gregg Allman

An all-star lineup of musicians feted Gregg Allman Friday night at a tribute concert heralding the southern rock luminary and the blues rock that influenced many artists to follow his band's early 1970s success.

Traditionally, Allman's biggest fans have been in the audience, dancing and swaying to his southern rock ensemble's well known songs like "Melissa" and "Midnight Rider." But on this night those effusing about Allman the most were on stage in Atlanta, performing for him and beside him - including Jackson Browne, Taj Mahal and Vince Gill.

Allman, who has come back strong from a liver transplant in recent years, said he feels years younger and fit enough to go on the road again.

The event signals a bit of a wind down for the Allman Brothers Band as two members, Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks, announced earlier this week they are leaving the band at the end of 2014. Haynes joined the group in 1989, and Trucks became a member in 1999. Trucks' uncle Butch Trucks was the drummer and one of the founding members of the Allman Brothers band.

'Star Wars'

We can't wait for the new "Star Wars" movie next year.

Until then, while we rewatch the first six (or maybe five) films, we can't think of a better way to mentally prepare than with nostalgic photos from the set.

"Star Wars" actor Peter Mayhew who played Chewbacca in the series has shared more than 50 photos on Twitter this week from the making of the original trilogy.

You can check out the full collection here.

Wedding News

Anderson - Salomon

Pamela Anderson is giving marriage another try - with ex-hubby Rick Salomon.

The "Baywatch" alum was looking pretty in pink and wearing a huge new diamond ring on the red carpet at Sean Penn's Help Haiti Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday night. The 46-year-old told E! News that she's once again off the market, having quietly tied the knot with the producer.

This is Anderson's second time down the aisle with Salomon. They first said "I do" in Las Vegas in 2007. At the time, she was working as a magician's assistant in a stage act at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. After the 7 p.m. show, she left to marry Salomon, 45, during her 90-minute break. She was then back in time for the 10 p.m. performance.

They split almost immediately and annulled the marriage in 2008.

Permit Sells For $350,000

Black Rhino

A permit to hunt a black rhino in Namibia sold for $350,000 at an auction in Dallas on Saturday with proceeds going to protect the endangered animals despite protests from animal rights groups that saw the sale as immoral conservation.

The license allows for the killing of a single, post-breeding bull, with Namibian wildlife officials on hand for the hunt to make sure an appropriate animal is selected.

The Dallas Safari Club had been expecting the permit to bring $250,000 to $1 million at an auction held during its annual convention. The hunt will help in managing the population and provide an underfunded Namibian government hard cash in the expensive battle to thwart poachers, it said.

There are about 25,000 rhinos in Africa - 20,000 white rhinos and 5,000 black rhinos - with the majority in South Africa. Namibia is one of the leading habitats after that.

Surprise Milan Fashion Week Appearance

Kiss

Gene Simmons wagged his trademark tongue as an all-glammed-up Kiss swept down the John Varvatos runway in an unannounced appearance during Milan Fashion Week.

The band that brought glam to rock decades ago gave a burst of energy to the Varvatos' rock-inspired menswear preview for next winter Saturday, bringing the normally restrained fashion crowd to its feet to "Rock and Roll All Nite."

Varvato's designs have that "rock persona," Simmons said, adding "if he wasn't designing clothes, he'd have a guitar around his neck."

Singer and guitarist Paul Stanley said the band met Varvatos during Milan Fashion Week last year when they were performing in the city. The band has since signed on to do an ad campaign for Varvatos.

Polygamy Decriminalized

'Sister Wives'

There was no fist-pumping or wild celebrations by the polygamous family that stars in the TLC reality TV show "Sister Wives" when a federal judge in Utah struck down key parts of the state's polygamy laws.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Kody Brown and his four wives said they felt humbled and cried when they heard in mid-December the judge ruled in their favor in a lawsuit they brought against Utah in July 2011 after they fled the state for Las Vegas under the threat of prosecution.

Kody and his wives - Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn - said they hope the landmark ruling stands and enables other polygamous families in Utah to live open and free without fearing prosecution.

Jonathan Turley, the Browns' Washington, D.C.-based attorney, said he's been told Utah will appeal. He said he's eager to defend the ruling before the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

The ruling decriminalizes polygamy, but bigamy - holding marriage licenses with multiple partners - is still illegal. Utah's law was considered stricter than the laws in 49 other states because of the cohabitation clause. If the ruling stands, Utah's law would be identical to most other states that prohibit people from having multiple marriage licenses. In most polygamous families in Utah, the man is legally married to one woman but only "spiritually married" to the others.

Debunk Rumors About Texas' Wild West Laws

Myth-Busting Librarians

Legend has it that the long arm of Texas law once extended to hotel balconies where the men with star badges would take into custody anyone who violated a state statute forbidding people to hunt buffalo from such a perch.

The legend ends at the Legislative Reference Library of Texas, where a small team of well-referenced librarians has gone through the records and sorted out fact from fiction when it comes to the laws of the Lone Star State.

There was never any state law forbidding buffalo hunting from the second floor of a hotel. But a person who fired a weapon in those circumstances would probably face other violations of criminal law.

The library has received a steady stream of requests from the public and lawmakers to see if a certain statute is still on the books or whether it existed at all. It recently sorted through claims for an exhibit at its home in the state capitol building.

"Lone Survivor" triumphed at the weekend box office. The patriotic Navy SEAL drama starring Mark Wahlberg, Taylor Kitsch, Emile Hirsch and Ben Foster smashed expectations to earn $38.5 million domestically in its first weekend in wide release, according to studio estimates Sunday.

The Universal film directed by "Friday Night Lights" and "Battleship" filmmaker Peter Berg is based on Marcus Luttrell's memoir about a dangerous mission his Navy SEAL team embarked on in Afghanistan in 2005.

In its eighth weekend, Disney's icy animated tale "Frozen" stayed cool in the No. 2 spot, earning $15 million and bringing its domestic total to $317 million, passing Disney Animation's $312 million record set by "The Lion King" in 1994. "Frozen" also topped the international box office with $27.8 million from 50 international markets.

Paramount's controversial "The Wolf of Wall Street" scored No. 3 in its third weekend, earning $9 million and boosting its total domestic haul to $78.6 million. The hedonistic tycoon drama directed by Martin Scorsese stars Leonardo DiCaprio as reckless stock broker Jordan Belfort. The film earned an additional $10 million from 17 international territories.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theatres, according to Rentrak. Where available, latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday:

    1. "Lone Survivor," $38.5 million ($750,000 international).
    2. "Frozen," $15 million ($27.8 million international).
    3. "The Wolf of Wall Street," $9 million ($10 million international).
