Marc Dion: America in the Small Places (Creators Syndicate)
One of the advantages of working as a reporter on a midsize daily paper is that the big questions aren't very big to me. I spend a lot of my time covering small town/city government, which mirrors but does not exactly reflect the big issues.


Lucy Mangan: After bingogate, we've all got the Tories' number (Guardian)
Kudos to Grant Shapps and co for managing to reveal so much about what they really think in so few words.


Alison Flood: George RR Martin releases new chapter of The Winds of Winter (Guardian)
Ahead of the new season of Games of Thrones on TV, the author has published an unseen chapter from the 6th book in the A Song of Fire and Ice series online - and it's a cracker.


George RR Martin: EXCERPT FROM THE WINDS OF WINTER
She woke with a gasp, not knowing who she was, or where.
The smell of blood was heavy in her nostrils… or was that her nightmare, lingering? She had dreamed of wolves again, of running through some dark pine forest with a great pack at her heels, hard on the scent of prey.

'I try not to notice when the bed is moved to reveal forgotten sex toys or magazines. You blush, but honestly, I've seen it all.'


Oliver Burkeman: "This column will change your life: want to get ahead? Move to Perth" (Guardian)
'When we're imagining people and things as physically farther away, we see the salient features instead of distracting details, the forest instead of the trees.'


R. Jason Benson: 4 Ways Global Warming Is Creating a Worldwide Horror Movie (Cracked)
But if we may presume to offer you a bit of advice, random senator who's currently reading Cracked instead of, you know, making laws and junk: If you want Americans to pay attention to climate change, you've got to go full-on horror movie.

Trivia Question from Yesterday


What does a Felinologist study?


      Cats                                                      Source


Felinology is the study of cats. The term has a Latin-Greek origin and comes from the Latin word felinus (of cats, feline) and the Greek -logos (science). Felinology is concerned with studying the anatomy, genetics, physiology, and breeding of domestic and wild cats.        Source






mj , was first, and correct, with:
   It's a student of the branch of theology
  That sudies the one true god: the cat.




Lois Of Oregon said:
   What does a Felinologist study? Why kitties of course! It was a Felinologst who discovered all the fun facts on this chart, and that TACO spelled backward is OCAT, and that you should never accept an invitation to a BBQ from a man who wears an apron like this one...




Charlie wrote:
   Looked it up to make sure this wasn't a trick. Of course, the answer is cats.




Alan J responded:
   Cats



Jim from CA, retired to ID, replied:
   Felinology is the study of cats.



Adam answered:
   Erm, cats?



Sally said:
   A Felinologist studies cats.

  "Felinologist" as in "Feline" is sort of self-explanatory...
  PS: Dark and gray outside today - pouring rain as well. I see my lawn in recovery and real soon! Lots of raking to be done before the lawn man arrives...




Deborah wrote:
   This is an easy one - a felinologist studies cats.
  My favorite cat is Simon's Cat. Perhaps the author is a felinologist, as he seems to capture the essence of cat.
  I hope Dale is enjoying NorCal's rain today. No drought-buster but better than none at all.




Marian responded:
   cats



DJ Useo replied:
   They study cats. The rest of the time, they're online studying porn, or "pussy", if you must. Lol.




Dave in Tucson answered:
   What does a Felinologist study? Films by Federico Fellini?




Dale of Diamond Springs, RainyNorcali, said:
   Felinology is concerned with studying the anatomy, genetics, physiology, and breeding of domestic and wild cats. That sounds like a cat hoarder to me!





MAM   wrote:
   Cats!
Wowser says he knows what the answer is!




  A favorite felinologist poster: Cat is not a toy!

   It's the... wait a sec, will ya?... there's someone at the door...

  Um... Well, there ya have it. Coincidence? I-think-not... (How my agent shows up at times like this is... so, damn'd... catty... er, canny - but, that's why he's the best. Just ask "The Boss" - Har!)

BartCop

Hello Bartcop fans,

As you all know the untimely passing of Terry was unexpected, even by him. We all knew he had cancer but we all thought he had some years left. So some of us who have worked closely with him over the years are scrambling around trying to figure out what to do. My job, among other things, is to establish communications with the Bartcop community and provide email lists and groups for those who might put something together. Those who want to play an active roll in something coming from this, or if you are one of Bart's pillars, should send an email to active@bartcop.com.

So - to let you know what's going on, the guestbook on bartcop.com is still open for those who want to write something in memory of Bart.

I did an interview on Netroots Radio about Bart's passing
( www.stitcher.com/s?eid=32893545 )

The most active open discussion is on Bart's Facebook page.
( www.facebook.com/bartcop )

You can listen to Bart's theme song here
or here.
( www.bartcop.com/blizing-saddles.mp3 )
( youtu.be/MySGAaB0A9k )

We have opened up the radio show archives which are now free. Listen to all you want.
( bartcop.com/members )

Bart's final wish was to pay off the house mortgage for Mrs. Bart who is overwhelmed and so very grateful for the support she has received. Anyone wanting to make a donation can click on this the yellow donate button on bartcop.com

But - I need you all to help keep this going. This note isn't going to directly reach all of Bart's fans. So if you can repost it on blogs and discussion boards so people can sign up then when we figure out what's next we can let more people know. This list is just over 600 but like to get it up to at least 10,000 pretty quick. So here's the signup link for this email list.

Skydiving On 80th Birthday

Shirley Jones

Inspired by a former president, Shirley Jones can't wait to jump into her birthday plans.

The Oscar-winning actress and singer says she'll take her very first skydive on Monday - her 80th birthday.

"That's something I wanted to do all my life," Jones said Friday. The inspiration to try comes from former President George H.W. Bush's jumps on several birthdays, including when he turned 85 in 2009.

She will be jumping in tandem with an instructor in Perris, a popular Southern California skydiving spot, according to her husband, comedian Marty Ingels.

Ingels was taken aback when she suggested it but has since come around, Jones said. Her children, not so much.

Ends CNN Run

Piers Morgan

CNN host Piers Morgan issued one last plea for U.S. gun control as he wrapped up his show's three-year run.

Morgan devoted the prime-time show's final minutes Friday night to the issue that he said has been a "consistent and often very controversial" part of "Piers Morgan Live."

The British-born host cited gun violence statistics and expressed dismay that mass shootings including those at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, and movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, haven't led to stricter laws.

Morgan blamed politicians that he said had been bullied into "cowardly" silence by a gun lobby led by the National Rifle Association.

'Once Upon a Time in Wonderland' Canceled

ABC

It's official: ABC's Once Upon a Time in Wonderland will not return for a second season. The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that the Once spinoff will end its run following its April 3 season-ender, which the network is advertising as a "series finale."

The decision to not move forward with the 13-episode spinoff -- from Once creators Adam Horowitz and Eddy Kitsis -- comes after the series was originally envisioned as a miniseries intended to bridge the gap between seasons of the flagship series.

ABC instead opted to run the series in the fall, scheduling the series in its historically problematic Thursdays at 8 p.m. slot where Last Resort, Charlie's Angels, Missing, My Generation and FlashForward have similarly stumbled. ABC has struggled to launch a hit in the time period since Ugly Betty moved from the 8 p.m. hour in 2009.

Following Wonderland's April 4 conclusion, ABC will test reality hit Shark Tank on Thursday at 8 p.m. for a week as part of a two-night special on April 10 and 11. Repeats of Grey's Anatomy will take over the slot starting April 17, leading into original episodes of the medical drama and Kerry Washington starrer Scandal and giving Shonda Rhimes a three-hour block on the network.

Cancels 'Mind Games'

More ABC

ABC has pulled the struggling Christian Slater-Steve Zahn drama "Mind Games" from its schedule, replacing it in the short term with repeats of new Sunday drama "Resurrection."

"Mind Games" opened with a weak 1.1 rating/3 share in adults 18-49 and 3.6 million viewers on Feb. 25, according to Nielsen, and it only got uglier from there. The show netted a 0.7/2 in the demo and a little over 2 million viewers with its most recent airing on Tuesday of this week.

"Resurrection" airs in a crowded Sunday timeslot, so giving viewers a second chance to see it certainly won't hurt a show that has delivered promising ratings in its three airings. It will air Tuesdays at 10 p.m. on April 1 and 8.

Starting April 15, the third season of "Celebrity Wife Swap" will air in the time period for ABC. The net has had three Tuesday-at-10 disappointments this season ("Lucky 7," "Killer Women" and now "Mind Games") and probably thought a familiar reality show would be the best way to plug the hour for the final month of the TV season.

Let The Fluffing Begin

Sheldon Adelson

The Republican White House hopefuls gathering on the Las Vegas strip this weekend have not come to woo voters. Instead, the GOP stars are hoping to win over a key patron and, perhaps, his millions of dollars in campaign cash.

Republican super donor Sheldon Adelson (R-Uncle Sugar) is the main attraction for a list of elected officials that includes former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Ohio Gov. John Kasich. One of the world's richest men, the 80-year-old billionaire casino magnate is looking for a new favorite to help end his party's presidential losing streak.

Most of the other prospective candidates were arriving Friday and Saturday, with a specific man on their minds: the billionaire who almost single-handedly bankrolled the group behind former House Speaker Newt "Family Values" Gingrich's presidential campaign in 2012. Adelson is in the market for a candidate in 2016.

With an eye toward the 2016 presidential contest, prospective candidates and their aides have been aggressively courting such donors for months - but not like this. Dubbed, "the Sheldon primary," the conference features scotch tastings, private roundtable discussions, and golf and poker tournaments that bring together politicians and roughly 400 of the GOP's top money men, a powerful list Adelson leads.

Those familiar with his thinking say that Adelson is focused on finding a candidate who can win the White House in 2016. But even as he prioritizes viability, Adelson maintains a passion for an aggressive foreign policy, particularly in regards to Israel, and wants a candidate who shares his vision, confidants say. That's in contrast to a libertarian shift among tea party activists in particular that favor a more modest American role in foreign affairs.

Switches To Moscow Time

Crimea

The hands of a clock on the main railway station in Simferopol jumped from 10 P.M. to midnight on Saturday as Crimea switched to Moscow time, symbolicly finalizing the region's incorporation into Russia.

Several hundred people gathered on the railway square for the ceremonial change of time, waving Russian national flags and chanting "Crimea! Russia!" after Moscow formally annexed the Black Sea region from Ukraine on March 21.

Wrapped in Russian flags and some with tears of joy in their eyes, the people gathered in the provincial capital of Simferopol on Saturday sang Russia's national anthem when the clock moved to Moscow time.

Crimea has already introduced the Russian ruble as its official currency and started paying out pensions and state salaries in the unit since the region voted overwhelmingly in favor of joining Russia on March 16.

Linked To Heart Attacks

Daylight Saving Time

Switching over to daylight saving time, and losing one hour of sleep, raised the risk of having a heart attack the following Monday by 25 percent, compared to other Mondays during the year, according to a new U.S. study released on Saturday.

By contrast, heart attack risk fell 21 percent later in the year, on the Tuesday after the clock was returned to standard time, and people got an extra hour's sleep.

The not-so-subtle impact of moving the clock forward and backward was seen in a comparison of hospital admissions from a database of non-federal Michigan hospitals. It examined admissions before the start of daylight saving time and the Monday immediately after, for four consecutive years.

In general, heart attacks historically occur most often on Monday mornings, maybe due to the stress of starting a new work week and inherent changes in our sleep-wake cycle, said Dr. Amneet Sandhu, a cardiology fellow at the University of Colorado in Denver who led the study.

A link between lack of sleep and heart attacks has been seen in previous studies. But Sandhu said experts still don't have a clear understanding of why people are so sensitive to sleep-wake cycles.

Ukraine's Now Swim for Russia

Combat Dolphins

Following the Russian takeover of Crimea this month, a lot of residents of Crimea are being asked to switch sides - but not all of those residents are human.

Crimea - formerly a part of Ukraine - was formally annexed by Russian President Vladimir Putin after Russian troops took control of military bases, ports and other facilities located on the Crimean peninsula.

And now, in addition to millions of people who find that they're new citizens of Russia, the combat dolphins that were once part of the Ukrainian navy have new masters: the Russian Emergencies Ministry, according to state-run news service RIA Novosti.

The military dolphin program was started in the 1960s during the Cold War, when Russia and Ukraine were part of the Soviet Union. After the fall of the Soviet empire, control of the program was handed over to Ukraine.

Russia is one of only two nations known to have dolphins working under military control. The U.S. Navy also has a dolphin-training program at its marine mammal center in San Diego.

Raise Concerns

Diet Drinks

Diet drinks may increase the risk of heart attacks, stroke and other heart problems in postmenopausal women, according to an informal study that could take some fizz out of enjoyment of the popular beverages.

Compared to women who never or seldom consume diet drinks, those who drank two or more a day were 30 percent more likely to suffer a cardiovascular event and 50 percent more likely to die from related disease, researchers found.

The findings were gleaned from an analysis of diet drink intake and consequences among almost 60,000 participants in the Women's Health Initiative, a long-running U.S. observational study of cardiovascular health trends among postmenopausal women.

The average age of women in the diet drink study was 62.8, and they had to have had no history of cardiovascular disease to be included in the analysis.

How about a favorite TV show, movie, book, play, cartoon, or legal amusement?
A popular artist that just plain pisses you off?
A box set the whole world should own?
Vile, filthy rumors about Republican hypocrites?

Just plain vile, filthy rumors?

In other words, submissions are welcome.
