Cuba libreby Elmore Leonard
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Set on the eve of the Spanish-American War, Elmore Leonard's electrifying novel takes off like a shot. A spellbinding journey into the heart and soul of the Cuban revolution of a hundred years ago, Cuba Libre is an explosive mix of high adventure, history brought to life, and a honey of a love story--all with the dead-on dialogue and unforgettable characters that mark Elmore Leonard as an American original.
Just three days after the sinking of the battleship Maine in Havana harbor, Ben Tyler arrives with a string of horses to sell--cover for a boatload of guns he's running to Cuban insurgents, risking a firing squad if he's caught.
This cowboy's first day ashore sets the pace for a wild ride to come. He sells the horses to an American planter, Roland Boudreaux, who's making a killing in Cuba...meets the man's sparkly New Orleans-born mistress, Amelia Brown, and falls in love...makes an enemy of a terrorizing Guardia Civil officer named Tavalera, and a friend of a mysterious old Cuban, Victor Fuentes...is forced into a gunfight and thrown in prison, Tavalera determined to nail him as a spy.
Tyler has done time in the past for robbing banks, but never in a place like Morro Castle. America is about to declare war on Spain, and if Tyler doesn't manage to get out very soon, he's a dead man.
How his escape comes about, with surprising help, is the high point from which the plot takes off on a train ride across Cuba, with Tyler and Amelia looking for more than love, a lot more--a chance to snatch a bundle of Boudreaux's cash, if they can pull it off. But who can you trust? Everyone's a schemer in this one.
Leonard breaks new ground in this rip-roaring jaunt into history, packed with all the twists, turns, sly plot, and wicked wit his fans have come to expect of the writer who has redefined the art of the novel.
Elmore Leonard has written thirty-four novels, including such bestsellers as Out of Sight, Riding the Rap, Pronto, Rum Punch, and Get Shorty, and numerous screenplays. He lives with his wife, Christine, in Bloomfield Village, Michigan.

|Look up discretion in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
Discretion is a noun in the English language with several meanings revolving around the judgment of the person exercising the characteristic.
- "The Art of suiting action to particular circumstances" (Lord Scarman)
- 'the quality of being discreet' (Concise Oxford Dictionary)
- The one who is going to decide.
Those in a position of power are most often able to exercise discretion as to how they will apply or exercise that power.
The ability to make decisions which represent a responsible choice and for which an understanding of what is lawful, right or wise may be presupposed. see Websters Third New International Dictionary (unabridged)
In law[edit]
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2010)
In the legal system, discretion is often defined as the ability to choose where, how and with what severity to act. A person chooses to utilize his or her options and decides which to use, whether this is arresting a person on the street (criminal) or evicting someone from an apartment (civil) or anywhere in between.[1]
In the criminal justice system, police, prosecutors, judges, and the jury are often able to exercise a degree of discretion in deciding who will be subject to criminal penalties and how they will be punished. For example, the police officer may decide whom to formally arrest for an offense. For a traffic violation, a police officer may simply issue a warning. A prosecutor may choose to pursue the same or different charges against the person a police officer has arrested. Discretion gives the prosecutor the power to dismiss a case against an arrestee based on factors such as the probability of conviction, the nature of the offense, the characteristics of the offender, and availability of adequate civil remedies. Plea bargaining also plays a major role in determining charges.
In civil actions, judges and juries are also deemed to have discretion in the matter of damages. Judges also have discretion in the grant or denial of certain motions, e.g. a motion for a continuance.
Abuse of discretion[edit]
The exercise of discretion by judges is an inherent aspect of judicial independence under the doctrine of the separation of powers. The standard of review applied to appeals from decisions involving the exercise of judicial discretion is "abuse of discretion."
An abuse of discretion is a failure to take into proper consideration the facts and law relating to a particular matter; an arbitrary or unreasonable departure from precedent and settled judicial custom.[2] On appeal of an exercise of judicial discretion, "abuse of discretion" is a standard of review requiring the appellate court to find that the lower court's decision would "shock the conscience" of a reasonable person in order to reverse the decision below.
Other contexts[edit]
The term often comes as part of "Viewer Discretion Is Advised" warning on TV shows before the show begins. In this context, VDA implies the show's content may not be suitable for some viewers; that is, too explicit.
- ^ Thorburn, Malcolm (Apr 2008). "Justifications, Powers, and Authority.". Yale Law Journal 117 (6): 1070–1130.

"If you truly believe in the potential of your company to change the world for the better, there's no excuse for settling for an acquisition."
I was reading through this month's Inc. magazine earlier when this quote caught my eye. My first thought was to challenge the notion. There are specific occasions when an acquisition is exactly what a company needs to move forward or to move on. This is just how things work, but the bold words sparked my interest enough to turn the page. I flipped to Issie Lapowsky's feature with Vimeo founder Jake Lodwick. Lodwick was fired a year and a half after selling Connected Ventures, the parent company of Vimeo and College Humor, to InterActive Corp, an Internet company that owns the likes of match.com, Urbanspoon, and dictionary.com. After the acquisition, he felt stripped of his creativity. Where innovation once dwelled, process was introduced. Lodwick was fired a week and a half before he planned to quit. This experience backs his words of advice to entrepreneurs who think an acquisition means nothing will change within the mission of an organization. Lodwick bitterly states that "in fact the mission was lost, and everything will change."
Businesses that can align their product and service offerings with both their business strategy and the customers' needs will grow the strongest businesses and maintain their success in the long run.
Addressing limitations and liabilities helps entrepreneurs analyze their business's ability to produce products, deliver services, and create new products and services.
Many forms of advertising can be used by companies today but the only effective form of advertising is the one that reaches the eyes and ears of your intended audience.

An entrepreneurial company just past the start up stage faces the issue of how to find customers for its product or service, price it right and get the word out, writes the founder of a software company and also a previous business. Meeting the challenges of phase two sets the stage for substantial growth, the author says.
Exporting Regulations and Policies stated by the Department of Agriculture
In the entrepreneurship and economic development realms, the word "high-growth" is tossed about loosely, often used to define that rare, illusive, overnight success of a startup. But a recent study by Kauffman has proved that high-growth firms aren't as hard-pressed to find as we thought … so long as you're looking in the right places.
This veteran entrepreneur recommends a top-down approach to ensure a company's overall strategic goals drive the compensation plan. When clear objectives (including revenue targets) are defined for the business, entrepreneurs can better determine sales targets as well as how sales reps can help grow the company.
Investors can have a high degree of influence on the operations of their portfolio companies because of their capital and their board roles. Such influence, at times, may push through ideas that are not in alignment with the leadership team's strategy. This article offers one VC's insights into the relationship between investor and the entrepreneur or CEO.

How To Make Mini Garden Gnomes
These extra tiny garden gnomes have a modern shape that makes them a breeze to cast out of basic craft store plaster in a simple, homemade mold. You can pop out a whole village of them in an afternoon and let the kids (or yourself!) go to town decorating them.
What You Need
• craft plaster
• toilet paper tubes
• water cooler cones
• acrylic craft paint, polyurethane
• dimensional fabric paint
1. Put a toilet paper tube on top of a water cooler cone. Draw a circle on the cone where they meet.
2. Cut out the cone.
3. Stick the small cone point side down into the toilet paper tube. Push it all the way down so that the tip of the cone touches your work surface.
4. Mix plaster according to the manufacturer's directions and pour into the mold.
5. Allow plaster to fully set. Peel away all the cardboard and paper.
6. Decorate your gnome with acrylic paint. I used a Sharpie to draw the eyes. The beards are dimensional fabric paint. Brush a layer of polyurethane over the gnome to seal it.

oh i want 1 million of them
How cute! I think i might be making these this weekend!
I haven't used craft plaster before - how long does it take to set? Is this a conceivable one-afternoon project?
Oh this is perfect for the end of the year gift I'm giving my son's preschool teachers! I'm putting together little gardening baskets and these will be the perfect finishing touch. thank you for the inspiration!
Cute and easy, can't beat it!
Just what need to give my apt patio terrace a more "garden" feel. Thanks for sharing. I will start working on my little dwarfs this weekend. Thanks :)
So neat! Haven't seen cones as water vessels around here so will have to make something out of card and tape, but definitely want to give this a shot!! Maybe will make weird conical pikmin alien ones instead of traditonal beardy ones :)
I'm not sure what Im doing wrong...Im trying to paint my guys and the paint is coming off :(

For the ninth consecutive year, United Way of Central Iowa has earned Charity Navigator's four-star rating for sound fiscal management and commitment to accountability and transparency.
Charity Navigator's highest rating indicates that United Way "adheres to good governance and other best practices that minimize the chance of unethical activities and consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way," Ken Berger, president and CEO of Charity Navigator, wrote in a congratulatory letter addressed to United Way President Mary Sellers.
"We are honored to receive this prestigious designation for the ninth year in a row," said Sellers. "Our community deserves accountability, and I am very pleased that we are recognized for consistently operating with sound financials and strong volunteer governance."
In achieving the ranking, United Way joins a select group of one percent of the 5,500 charities evaluated that have achieved nine consecutive four-star evaluations.
"This exceptional designation from Charity Navigator differentiates United Way of Central Iowa from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust," Berger wrote.
Forbes, Business Week, and Kiplinger's Financial Magazine have all profiled Charity Navigator's unique method of applying data-driven analysis to the charitable sector.
Based on information provided in IRS form 990, Charity Navigator analyzed United Way's performance in seven financial metrics: program expenses, administrative expenses, fundraising expenses, fundraising efficiency, primary revenue growth, program expenses growth, and working capital ratio. It also evaluated the institution in several accountability and transparency performance metrics, giving United Way an overall rating of 61.47on a scale of 0-70.

Want to know one major reason crime is out of control in the city? Consider what I witnessed the other day when I was riding around with police on the east side.
A man was driving erratically. Cops rolled up behind him. The man sped away, blew a red light before eventually pulling over.
He had a bridge card but no driver's license. He had thousands of dollars in traffic tickets and warrants. Cops cuffed him then searched his car. Finding no weapon, they let him go. Cops have to prioritize. That's how it is in the most violent quarter of the most violent city.
"We've got no one to look after him," said Sgt. Mike Osman. "We've got no jail space. And we don't have enough manpower for us to go back to the station and do the paperwork. So you kick him loose. And everyone out here knows it."
I inspected his squad car. A 2004 Crown Vic with 112,000 miles. The tires were bald. There was yesterday's garbage on the floorboards. The air conditioner was broken. The spotlight was burned out. The video camera was connected to nothing because there was no computer.
Sgt. Osman wasn't complaining. At the beginning of the shift at the Eastern District, cops were roaming the lot trying to scrounge a car. It's so bad, a homicide detective told me he once had to take a bus to a murder scene.
Sgt. Osman was able to check the man's criminal history by calling in on his cell phone. His personal cell phone, which costs him $100 a month.
This is your Detroit Police Department.
Without doubt, the No. 1 problem plaguing the city is crime. Murder and shootings are spiraling upward. Six people were found dead in two cars in just the past few days.
Chief Ralph Godbee told me: "It's going to be a long, hot summer."
Detroit's number No. 2 problem is its finances. If city leaders don't get it under control, then Gov. Snyder will assign an emergency financial manager who will.
So, not to be outdone by Mayor Dave Bing, the city council found an extra $50 million to cut from his budget. Among those cuts, $8.4 million from the police.
"I don't like it," said Charles Pugh, the council president. "But we have to make tough choices. It won't lead to police layoffs because that's money sitting around for 200 officers that were supposed to be hired but weren't."
But Chief Godbee said Pugh is misinformed if he thinks there is a pool of money sitting around in a Swiss bank account.
"I lost 200 officers this past year to attrition," he said. "That means I can't hire new officers. So we'll have less cops this summer than we did last year. Those are layoffs."
Who to believe?
Here are the numbers you'll want to know. New York cut cops last year and murder went up 25 percent. Flint cut cops and murder doubled.
Detroit has already drastically cut its police force. The city had 5,000 sworn officers a decade ago and 4,100 five years ago. Today it has less than 2,800. That means Detroit has 377 cops per 100,000 people. Compare that to similar size cities with similar crime problems: Memphis has 428 and Baltimore has 480. It doesn't add up.
Not only that, Detroit is in the bottom tier of major cities when it comes to spending on public safety, about 40 percent. As a comparison, Los Angeles spends more than 70 percent.
On the other hand, the Detroit City Council is the most expensive in the country, according to a recent survey. It was recently suggested by the charter revision commission that the council be cut from nine members to seven. The council lobbied hard and the provision was removed from the draft. That would have saved the shrinking city $1.2 million.
So ask yourself why the council has nine police officers at its disposal and a fleet of cars when there are less than 100 officers patrolling the streets of the entire city at any one time.
At the municipal yard on Russell Street, a shipment of new tires came in this week for the city council members' cars. In the racks that hold tires intended for police cars, there was nothing but dust.
I asked a man who was locked up on a felony charge the other evening if we should be cutting the police budget. "Hell no," he said. "We got babies out there."
We got babies out there indeed. Who is the priority?
Tune in to Fox 2 News at 10:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 15 as Charlie and his crew begin a series of reports demonstrating what a day of duty on the street is like for a Detroit Police Officer. Real, raw video from real life situations.

In its 3-star class, Hotel Villa Igea is outstanding. If you want to visit Sospiri Bridge, this hotel is a good option. Doge's Palace and San Marco are also worth a visit. Goldoni Theatre and Rossini Theatre can be reached on foot from here. Close-by you can find Church of San Zaccaria. Located close by, Fondazione Querini Stampalia Museum and Civic Museum are worth a visit.
In addition to the bedrooms, a restaurant is part of Hotel Villa Igea. You do not have to make plans for breakfast if you stay here, as it is offered for free. A baby-sitting service is part of the services here, and so are a concierge service and an express check-in/out service. The number of rooms is a good indication of the size of the accommodation: there are 30 rooms here.
Don't worry if Venice weather is disappointing; in your room in Hotel Villa Igea you can control the climate, as air conditioning is at your disposal. A housekeeping service is just one of the additions to the number of services offered. A bidet is provided in the bathrooms in combination with a complimentary toiletries set and a shower/bath combination.

Kenyan Graffiti Artist Honoured With Dutch Prize
A controversial Kenyan graffiti artist is one of the winners of the 2012 Prince Claus Prize. The annual prize, named after the late husband of Dutch Queen Beatrix, is awarded to people who make a difference in terms of culture or development. The artist, Boniface Mwangi, paints graffiti in Nairobi, denouncing the corrupt practices of his country's politicians. They often feature vultures because he says, "they show our leaders for who they are: they're scavengers".

Cats pose a serious threat to biodiversity: Why do we accept it? What should be done?
According to the ASPCA, there are around 90 million owned domestic cats (Felis catus) in the U.S., and taking into account strays and feral cats, the total number is estimated to be as high as 160 million (1). Loss et al. (2013) estimates that cats roaming outdoors kill 1.4-3.7 BILLION birds and 6.9-20.7 BILLION mammals in the U.S. annually (2). Reptiles and amphibians such as snakes, lizards, frogs, etc., are also frequently killed by cats.
Cats are even more popular New Zealand, where they are contributing to declines of endemic birds such as the critically endangered kakapo (3), which have evolved in the absence of predators. Businessman/philanthropist Gareth Morgan is trying to gather support for legislation that would aggressively deal with stray and feral cats and potentially eliminate cats from New Zealand to take pressure off of threatened species (4 & 5). With Morgan's plan, in addition to regulation that would reduce cat populations and increase owner accountability, residents would be encouraged to not replace their cats. As of now the majority of New Zealanders surveyed are in opposition to Morgan's initiative.
Would a proposition like Morgan's meet similar resistance in the U.S.? Probably, but is he on the right track? Would you personally support something like it for your state or country? Why or why not is it a good idea? Is this type of legislation necessary to curb the problem and protect wildlife? If you disagree, what are some alternatives? Will the aesthetics and familiarity of cats keep them off limits to such ideas in the opinions of the general public?

Closing Statement from Jon Cox
Thanks to everyone who contributed to a thought provoking discussion!
I think we can all agree that we need to be responsible with our pets! For the sake of ecological and human health. And pet owners must realize that their carelessness is costly. Plans to completely eliminate cats from areas where they are very popular are pretty far fetched, but stricter regulation is a must, and domestic cats do NOT belong in the wild, period. Feral cats need to be seen and dealt with just as any other invasive species. However, extreme caution is necessary in any attempt to remove them where they have become established as a keystone species.
Check out Australian cat laws for a look at the legislation adopted by a people who cherish their native wildlife and do not want to see it be destroyed by invasives.
And lastly, we must keep in mind that invasive species are just one way in which we threaten biodiversity. Overexploitation and especially habitat loss pose even greater threats to species survival.
Thanks again!

May 7 2013: Attempting to find scholarly articles on this topic proved a little difficult, so I'll just discuss some of my thoughts and attach the best piece of research I found on the topic.
In island nations such as New Zealand I can understand the need for more extreme measures to control cat population due to the characteristics of many New Zealand fauna that make them more susceptible to cat predation. Some of these characteristics include small size, terrestrial foraging or breeding habit, and isolation in native habitat fragments.
However, in urban environments I see more problems resulting from the extermination of cats. It is mostly small mammals, birds, and reptiles that are subjected to predation by cats. As much as I can appreciate the conservation of many species, do you really think that people in urban environments are going to be happy if urban populations of rodents and birds significantly increase?
From what I have read there are some legislative controls on cat activities in different areas across Australia that have been going on for a decade. I think the best plan of action is to use these areas as case studies to fully understand the effects of removing cats from the ecosystem. I also think it is important to take each environment (urban, suburban, etc.) and consider the impacts on an individual basis. For example I think cat populations in urban environments, where we know diversity of species is already reduced due to human impacts and urbanization, play an important role at this point and without them pest populations could become an issue.
Derek NiemiMay 7 2013: I agree with you Eleni. I'd like to add though that the usefulness of cats as pest regulators extends beyond urban environments. Many people living in the country, especially those with barns and sheds have cats to get rid of mice, and even birds that live in the rafters and the like. While yes, there also will likely be collateral damage with those species we are concerned about, there is also an undeniable benefit to a feline presence in both these areas and urban areas.
As you said, people in these environments wouldn't be too happy to see rats running around, so the next alternative would likely be pesticides, which we know will have their own set of undesirable side-effects. While there are certainly downsides to having so many cats around, I believe it is a necessary evil. However, to help solve the problem, more animal control measures on feral cats could help reduce the unwanted deaths of native and threatened species.
May 7 2013: Hey Derek,
where we live, in a woodsy, rural area, our cat has been undeniably handy in keeping the explosive rabbit population under control!
And on a side note, our cat indirectly teaches my kids a valuable lesson of life and death. When they go outside to play, they are often confronted by half-eaten mouse/rabbit/bird carcasses. My initial instinct was to shield them from this 'horror', but that was impossible, and as it turns out, unnecessary. They accept that there are predators and prey, that animals have different needs than humans, and that where there is life, there is death. A cat symbolizes the raw aspects of nature that children need to be aware of.
May 8 2013: I agree, Lizanne. I grew up in the same sort of area. My parents still live there. No rabbits though. Mostly mice and voles. The moles and gophers I take care of myself when I'm around and have time for a stakeout.
In addition to the lessons you mentioned, it also teaches people to watch where they step ;)
Only had to make that mistake once...
But anyway, back to you said, I totally agree and I think that that sort of realistic outlook is something kids are losing as more and more people live in cities. They never see what the real world is like outside of their sterile bubble.
Mario R
May 7 2013: I agree with you Mario, I am sure they do play an important role in urban environments. Have you come across any news articles or scientific articles discussing a lack of these critters in urban areas? From personal experience I see lots of squirrels, mice, and birds around Eugene despite the large domestic cat population.

Romance Theater
2 East Main Street,
1 person favorited this theater
Opened in 1917 as the Rex Theater and through the years had various owners and operators.
In 1976, when it was called the Romance Theater, it was damaged by the Teton Dam flood. The theater, after being rebuilt, was renamed the Westwood Theater and finally sold to Carmike Cinemas in 1988.
Carmike Cinemas, which has another three-screen theater in this town of 14,300, operated it until closing it on March 29, 2001. In around 2006, it was reopened as a community arts center, and in 2011 was renamed Romance Theatre again.
Although it is not on the National Register of Historic places, it is near the Madison County Courthouse which is on the Register.

Here is another article about the conversion. Function should be community arts center:
In the late sixties, the owners were Paul de Mordaunt and Hugh Drennen. They also owned the Rex in Rexburg at that time.
OK, so the two were listed separately in the 1967 IMPA, but here they are alternate names for the same theater. I don't know who's confused.
The IMPA shows two separate theaters, the Rex and the Romance. We have the Romance listed, with an aka of the Rex. There is no separate listing for the Rex. Ergo the Rex is listed improperly as an aka, or the two theaters were both called the Rex at different times.
Given the name of the town, I think the answer is there were two different theaters.
No, I added two already today. Go ahead and add it if you want to.
Sounds good.
The Rex/Romance theatre was built and originally owned by my paternal grandfather, Mark C. Madison. According to a Rexburg newspaper article by Holly Speer dated Mar.30,2001, It opened as the Rex Theatre and played it's first show on Feb. 22,1917. It's name was changed to the Columbia for a short time, then back to the Rex. It was remodled in 1935, and was given it's new name of the Romance. Prior to 1917, there were two other theatres in Rexburg; the Star and the Electric. Both of these were run by my Grandfather Madison. Since this theatre is of sentimental and family history interest to me, I would welcome any information or articles about it. I am confused about how this site works – a general search stated that there were thousands of items on this particular theatre, yet gave me nothing but a list of other article in no way connected to it. I tried an advanced search, which said "nothing found"! I also cannot find the articles talked about in this post. Clue me in!
Some of the confusion about the rex/romance may be because there is a newer theater (475 N 2nd E) that is now called The Rex. It was built around 2005 (don't quote me on the year) and was first operated by American Family Entertainment Centers (AFEC). After a few years of struggling, AFEC left and the property owner hired out management of it and the name was shortly after changed to "The Rex".
This has been renamed the Romance Theatre.

He signed autographs-and even a camera-at the end of a sweaty practice on Saturday morning.
Peyton Manning was more than just a spectator at that practice, doing what he could to teach his current fill ins the ropes of the Colts offense.
But frankly, that's as good as it might get for the fans packing into Anderson University the next two weeks.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
"I'm not certain of that," said head coach Jim Caldwell when asked if the fans might see Manning play at some point during training camp.
While that's a disappointment to some fans the Cotls themselves believe it won't detract from taking the next week-and-a-half to improve before the regular season begins.
"Absolutely. I feel like we've grown already," said receiver Reggie Wayne when asked if the offense is making some progress during Manning's absense. "A lot of guys are buying into the system, especially the young guys are buying into the system and know what's going on.
"We have a game coming up. We've got some guys who are excited about that, and even though 18 is not in there, we still have a job to do."
So how would that be happening without their best player in? It certainly didn't help the Colts back in 2008 when a bursa sac infection cost Manning all of training camp. It showed some effect on the Colts early that season as the team stumbled out of the gate to a 3-4 record.
Eventually the chemistry came together, Manning returned to form and the team won nine straight games to end the season.
One thing that was pointed out by Jeff Saturday that could facilitate a smoother camp is the fact that Manning has been in Anderson from the start. Due to the nature of the quarterback's knee ailment of 2008, Manning didn't arrive in Terre Haute until after camp started.
This season he's been able to participate in team meetings right from the start.
"In meetings, going through film work, talking through installation, what's happening and how each coach is installing," said Saturday of Manning's input. "We all talk about how each position looks at it maybe a little bit differently. 'What's your view of this? How are you expecting me to block it? What are your expectations?'
"He is involved of all those things as normal."
As for the health of Manning himself, Caldwell continued to give a general optimistic outlook for the quarterback, who has never missed a game since joining the Colts in 1998.
"Doing all the little things that it requires to get him where he wants to be," said Caldwell of Manning. "I think you guys know as well as I do he's ready to go and will be out there because he is chomping at the bit, that's for certain."

It's day three in Milan and we can clearly see some trends emerging that set this city's fashion week apart from New York and London. Designers that showcased their spring collection included Ermanno Scervino, Etro, Giamba, Marco de Vincenzo and Les Copains.
With the nickname, "Queen of Roses," Anna Molinari's spring collection certainly did not disappoint. Embroidered and appliquéd roses in aqua and pink turned the runway into a dreamy garden. Fragile tulle dresses with strategically-placed embroidery were wildly beautiful, but there were also some modest pieces for the client looking for something more wearable. Click or swipe through to see more of the Blumarine spring collection.
Vibrant colours and dainty turbans gave Missoni's spring collection a decidedly African flavour, and the nonchalance with which the silks and knits were wrapped around the body expressed a relaxed resort mood.

Saturday 13th April 2013 13:53@Everton
Everton Under-18s bounced back from their FA Youth Cup exit to record an impressive 5-1 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday.
A 4-2 defeat against Norwich at Goodison earlier this month saw the young Blue elimated from the Cup, but they responded emphatically in their latest league outing.
Kevin Sheedy's side dominated proceedings at Finch Farm and, despite entering the interval 1-0 down, found their clinical touch in the second half to fire five past visiting Palace.
A brace from striker George Waring and a goal apiece from Harry Charsley, Jonjoe Kenny and Courtney Duffus earned Everton all three points as they catch up on games in hand in the Barclays U18 Premier League Elite Group.
With the scores goalless as half-time neared, the Toffees were made to pay for not taking their multitude of chances.
A free-kick fired into the top corner stunned the hosts, but after a productive team talk from Sheedy and Duncan Ferguson, they were ready to discover their shooting boots that have been so prolific this term.
Five minutes into the second period, Gethin Jones burst to the byline and crossed into the centre. Waring got to it first and headed back across the Palace goalkeeper to make it 1-1.
The Blues would have the lead they deserved five minutes later, as a left-wing cross from Jasper Johns was headed home from close range by Charsley.
And on the hour-mark it was 3-1. Matthew Pennington raced in behind the defence and showed courage and commitment to get to the ball first. He was upended by the goalkeeper, however, and up stepped Waring to fire in from the spot.
On 65 minutes, centre-half Kenny got in on the act, finishing a one-two with aplomb.
And with 10 minutes to go, substitute Duffus completed another excellent move from Ibou Touray's through pass.
Boss Sheedy was delighted with the performance and told evertonfc.com: "We played very well in the first half but didn't get on the end of crosses.
"I think we must have had about 70 per cent of the possession so when that free-kick went in, we couldn't believe it.
"We went through things at half-time and I told them to get more bodies in the box. We were getting four or five in there after the break and that gives you a far greater chance.
"After the Norwich result, I had told them to emulate what the first-team did after their FA Cup exit to Wigan. They were brilliant against Manchester City and our lads were brilliant today. It can be difficult to react to such disappointment but we are very pleased with the attitude they showed."

By Julia Emmanuele, Hollywood Staff
The Academy Awards are the biggest night in Hollywood, where the best films and performances of the years are celebrated in a ceremony that always drags on a half hour too long. If you're a host or a nominee, you're going to be the talk of the town in the weeks surrounding Oscar night, but in the end, it's never the moments that you expect that steal the show, because when you gather the biggest stars in the world and put them in one room, something insane is bound to happen. Sure, Ellen Degeneres had a finely-honed monologue, but the real highlights of the evening came from an unfortunate flub or a weird, rambling presentation.
We're celebrating the biggest party in Hollywood by pulling together the best, worst and weirdest celebrity moments from the 2014 Academy Awards, so that you can catch up on or relive all of the awkward and hilarious moments from the show. They might not have won an Oscar, but they managed to steal the show from Brad Pitt's pizza party, and in some ways, that's even more deserving of an award.

Good news for fans of "The Book of Eli" and "From Hell": Sibling directors The Hughes Brothers are slated to lense the live-action adaptation of Katsuhiro Otomo's graphic novel "Akira". I tap my chin worriedly, though I am intrigued by the idea. I also like Vanilla Coke, so go figure.
Thanks to the fine, opportunistic folks working behind-the-scenes at Sony Pictures, James Cameron's underwater epic "Pirahna II: The Spawning" will arrive on DVD this April. If you ever get the opportunity to procure Cameron's autograph, be sure to bring your copy of the film along for the ride. I'm sure he'll appreciate the joke.
Speaking of DVD release dates, E1 Entertainment has picked up North American distribution rights for director Fruit Chan's ambitious remake of Hideo Nakata's supernatural freakshow "Don't Look Up." The film stars Henry Thomas, and Kevin Corrigan, and Eli Roth. Yes, I said Eli Roth. Got a problem with that?
Although I'm honestly not that surprised, it turns out that grandmothers enjoy smoking crack before embarking on a high-speed police chases. I've also heard that AARP gives unbelievable discounts on illegal narcotics to all its card-carrying members. I can't wait to get old!
Grandfathers, on the other hand, are a little different. Instead of drugs and violence, they prefer to flush stink bombs down toilets and spray so-called "fart spray" inside Wal-Marts. I suppose its beats the old "pull my finger" routine, though not by much.
2006 - Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shoots Harry Whittington in the face during a hunting trip gone painfully awry.
Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, the writing duo responsible for "Zombieland" are hard at work on the upcoming sequel. Want to find out what they have in store for the 3-D shenanigans in "Zombieland 3-D"? The check out this little video interviews where they discuss some of their plans.
Although not official, we may see Wes Craven return to the directors chair for the in-development "Sunflower". Written by Mischa Green, the story pertains to psycho college professors and innocent college girls. Sounds right up Craven's alley.
I know you've all been waiting for the return of Dee Sniders's Captain Howdy; you're going to be so happy! Dee Snider sat down and discussed his plans for "Strangeland 2: The Disciple".
Slasher fans will be happy to hear; splatter classic "The Prowler" is coming back to DVD later this year! Even better, a Blu-ray release is promised shortly after.
Mr. Chang is accused of killing his mother. The act of murder is bad enough, but when officials found the body she was missing an arm, the back of her skull, skull remnants were found in the refrigerator and her blood had been drained into trash can in the garage.
Scott Gore woke up to a nasty surprise; at 1 a.m. he came too on the local railroad tracks missing one shoe and having one mangled leg.
1863 - Midgets Tom Thumb and Lavinia Warren married in a ceremony promoted and orchestrated by P.T. Barnum
Director Stephen Soderberg has fast tracked his next project, the outbreak action-thriller "Contagion". Joining him will be Matt Damon, Jude Law, Kate Winslet and Marion Cotillard. So far, the origin of the outbreak is unknown but investigation shows it is narrowed down to either a viral situation or runaway actor egos.
Normally I don't like to fuel crazy rumors, but this one is too good to pass up. The story that Universal is a planning a possible "Jaws" remake has been around for awhile. Think a reboot is bad enough? How about a reboot starring Tracy Morgan in the place of Matt Hooper?
In other star packed ego news, Rachel Weisz will star along side Daniel Craig and Naomi Watts in the haunted house thriller "Dream House". Reportedly, Weisz will be filling the lead role originally given to Watts.
"Paranormal Activity" continues to make waves as it scares the vino out of Italy. The country's emergency response service has been flooded with calls from teenagers and youth suffering from panic attacks after viewing the commercials. So far, the government has yet to ban the film.
Draco Malfoy has joined the cast of "The Apparition", a story about a couple haunted after a college experiment. So far, it would appear that Tom Feldon is going to be cast as the film's 'star power'.
A man was found to have attempted a free trip to Tokyo by stowing away in a planes landing gear. Unfortunately for him, he didn't think his plan through. His body was found frozen in the plane's landing gear bay, dressed only in blue jeans and a long sleeve shirt.
After a recent tally, cows now officially outnumber people in New Zealand. We're safe for the moment... at least until they team up with the sheep.
1989 - Officials for the World Wrestling Federation testify before the New Jersey Senate that their matches are actually rigged.
Bloody Good Horror does a wonderful, fantastic job of covering all aspects of horror. Probably the best, if you ask me. But how come, when it comes to music coverage, it's always about these hacky, screaming, trashy neo-metal bands with names like Tabernackle Neckkrack, Pentagrim or MethDettle TKO? Is this really the ONLY kind of music that horror fans care about? C'mon... surely some of us enjoy the soothing sounds of Steely Dan or Jimmy Buffett, right? Does anyone else here just ever sink into a bean-bag and gel with the Kenny G Live album? I can't be the only one... can I?
So, of course, the big news today is former Fangoria staffer James Zahn's loud 'n 'proud Facebook missive against his former employers. The major consensus is that he's just confirming what everyone figured about the behind-the-scenes of the magazine, but the real surprise, for me, at least? That Fangoria might have folded! The last issue I bought was about three months ago, after a two year hiatus; I was shocked by the $27 cover price and the 84-page tribute to Twilight. But, I gotta say, I loved the article entitled "Kane Hodder's 12-Minute Killer Ab Workout". I lost five pounds! Thanks, Fango!
In Horrorhound Weekend news, it's been announced that at this March's Indy convention that the full, uncut version of Clive Barker's entertainingly silly "Nightbreed" will be screened for the first time ever. It sucks that I'll be missing it because I'm gonna be chugging Jim Beam while partying with about eight-to-ten BBWs in the BGH room's hot-tub. If you're reading this and you're a plus-size fox, well, you're fucking invited.
Susan "Bag 'Em and Tag 'Em" Sarandon's daughter, Eva "Godzilla Tits" Amurri has been gaining a bit of notoriety lately, especially after a saline-filled performance on Californication (whatever that is) and palling around with Olivia "Do You Like Me Yet?" Munn. She must be learning quite a bit from Munn, because she's going after your nerd-dollars now with a lead in "Isolation", a horror flick set in a... wait for it... hospital... and she has no memory how she got there! Oooh! I'm guessing she got there because of a botched boob-job. Speaking of botched boob-jobs, let's bet money now this goes straight to DVD. ZING.
Fuck paying for daycare. Yeah, I said it, but you know who's practicing it? Chen Chuanliu, a Chinese rickshaw driver who's been chaining his kid to a tree to keep him from being kidnapped by Oriental scoundrels! Ancient Chinese secret, huh? (GONG NOISE)
You know who shouldn't own cats? Goth kids. If they don't kill them by subjecting them to endless hours of tuneless Siouxsie Sioux drivel, there they go, piercing their l'il kitty ears and making them wear "Team Edward" shirts because daddy didn't loan them the Family Truckster to go and smoke Cloves down behind the Circle K. Fuckin' Goths. Really.
A Canadian restaurant is actually inviting patrons to have dirty sex in their unisex bathrooms. The restaurant's name? "Waiter! There's A Hair In My...Oh, Nevermind."
In 1917, the current constitution of Mexico was adopted, establishing a federal republic with powers separated into independent executive, legislative, and judicial branches. Naturally, we celebrated by eating tacos and shooting our pistolas into the air.
Do you need some more Patrick Batman in your life? Well then, you're in luck. It appears that "American Psycho" is becoming a musical. Let's hope there's ample time for Bateman's snappy impression of "Huey Lewis and the News".
There's more teen oriented horror coming to The CW, this time in a new show entitled Betwixt. They've done monster hunters and other various supernatural things, this time we're facing changeling's charged with saving humanity! I feel safer already.
On February 16th, you'll be able to take your horror with you on the crapper. South Peak games will be releasing "Dementium II", a survival horror FPS for the Nintendo DS. At least in this format when it scares the shit out of you, you'll already be in position.
Vampires are the hot commodity right now and as such, we may soon be seeing the return of Dracula himself. Producers are readying "The Last Voyage of the Demeter", a prequel story centered on the count and his voyage over seas to England.
A 15 year old girl with no vagina delivers a healthy baby boy leading locals to speculate an immaculate conception. Before the thoughts of the second coming or pregnancy from oral sex sets in, be sure to read about the girl's abdominal stab wounds and her resulting treatment.
The Netherlands have passed new legislation ruling that sex with animals as well as bestiality pornography is now illegal. Disturbing fact #1: bestiality was legal in the Netherlands up until now as long as it could be proven that the animal was not injured. Disturbing fact #2: bestiality is so rampant that they had to pass legislation to prevent it.
1959 - The Day the Music Died: A small plane carrying The Big Bopper (J.P. Richardson), Buddy Holly, and Richie Valens crashes near Mason City, Iowa
Early reports say that Kate Beckinsale will be donning her leather cat suit once again for "Underworld 3D". The same reports also say she's trying to find a way to get out of the film as well.
Michael Rooker will be coming back once again to face off against monsters, this time in an ice fishing trip turned beast battle in "Hypothermia". Let's hope he fares better this time than he did in "Slither".
Hammer Studios continues its rise from the dead by acquiring its next film, a big screen adaptation of Susan Hill's "The Woman In Black".
Director Russell Mulcahy has been tapped to direct the pilot for MTV's recently announced "Teen Wolf" reboot. When you consider Mulcahy directed the classic "Highlander", there is some reason to grow excited. Then you remember he also directed "Highlander 2: The Quickening" and that all goes out the window.
Lakeshore Entertainment and Kevin Grevioux, the team up that brought you "Underworld: Rise of the Lycans" are preparing to bring you more of the unique brand of action horror with an adaptation of Grevioux's comic, "I, Frankenstein". At this time, it is still unclear how they will be working in Kate Beckinsale in tight leather.
A murderer on the FBI's most wanted list for 25 years is finally nabbed after walking into the US Embassy in Manila. Attempting to renew his passport, he forgot to apply using his alias.
After a long standoff, Perth Police charge the house of a local loony threatening to burn down his house after spreading fuel across the homestead. In an effort to stop the man from igniting the blaze, police shoot him with a taser gun, which in turns sets fire to the fuel severely burning the perpetrator . Whoopsies.
1852 - The first public toilet is inaugurated, located at 95 Fleet Street in London, by the Society of Arts.
Actress Zelda Rubinstein, best known for her role as Tangina in Tobe Hooper's classic "Poltergeist," died of natural causes on Wednesday. She was 76.
Have you longed to feel the rancid breath of a giant ape on your face as he leaps over your head to attack a rampaging Tyrannosaurus Rex? If so, you're in the luck. Filmmaker Peter Jackson has helped Universal Studios relaunch their "King Kong" theme park ride, which will open its doors this summer. Remember to pack your banana hammock.
The first trailer for Capcom's upcoming live-action adaptation of "Dead Rising" has appeared online. It's cheap, it's ugly, and it's extremely violent. In other words, I'm giddy with excitement.
Anchor Bay recently announced they have acquired the rights to Agnieszka Wojtowicz-Vosloo's "After Life," a new horror/thriller starring Christina Ricci, Justin Long, and Liam Neeson. When this thing will see the light of day is still anybody's guess.
What do 18 year-old female werewolves do for fun? For starters, they use pocket knives to severe the heads of lost dogs. Time permitting, they boil the skulls.
I'm no parent, but I'm pretty sure strapping your baby to the wall with duct tape isn't in the instruction manual. Neither is documenting the event with your digital camera.
When you're hanging out in the parking lot at the local mall, the last thing you expect is to be savagely attacked by a wandering cobra. Destro was not immediately available for comment.
1977 - Freddie Prinze commits suicide at the age of 23.
CC's back, Joe's confused, and we hope you enjoy the new sound!
A movie that has the crew conflicted.

Student Success Center
Dear Members of our Student Community:
I'd like to welcome you to Claremont Graduate University. Whether you are a new or continuing student, it is both a pleasure and honor to serve as your Dean of Students and Vice Provost for Student and Enrollment Services. Providing quality services that support your academic pursuits is at the core of what our offices do. Our ultimate goal is your success—in your graduate studies, and then in your career thereafter.
Although I am writing today as your Dean, I've been a member of the CGU community for over 19 years, as both a professor and dean for the School of Arts and Humanities and, in recent years, as an associate provost for both academic planning and enrollment management. My experiences both in and outside the classroom have given me great insight into the workings of this university and the needs of its student population. Well aware that graduate student life is demanding, I strongly encourage you to have an open dialogue with me and all the members of our student services team—ask questions, share issues, and take advantage of all the services we have to offer. Those services run the gamut: from administrative (admission, financial aid, registration, and student accounts) to professional (career management, the Writing Center, and Preparing Future Faculty) to more personal (religious life, mental and physical health services). The combination of all of these essential support services helps you maintain balance and optimal performance. Whether you have received such support in the past or feel that you are only now in need, we encourage you to build relationships with those on our staff who are trained and ready to help.
I'd like to personally thank you for choosing CGU, a very special institution with almost a century of graduate-only education. I hope that all your experiences here in Claremont and the metro Los Angeles area will positively reinforce the important decision you have made to join us. As the weeks and months progress, I hope to get to know many of you by name—and, in turn, I want you to know that I will always be an advocate for your success.
Best wishes,
Patricia Easton
I, too, want to welcome you to CGU. In my role as Associate Dean of Student Services, I work closely with Dean Easton to help lend support and ensure your success while here. One of my primary roles is to head the recently established Student Success Center (SSC), which brings together various CGU programs and services under 'one roof.' The SSC provides students with an intellectually and stimulating supportive environment, offering an array of services that enhance the graduate student experience at CGU by developing the knowledge, skills, and capacities that enable students to flourish. Although the center is new, our goal is to serve as the nucleus that engages students, alumni, staff, and faculty in conversations that foster diversity, cultural sensitivity, inclusivity, and student success. Such conversations will afford students opportunities for self-assessment in order to achieve academic success, professional and personal development, leadership development, and collaborative work.
Always remember, your success is our primary goal.

Talk:571: Can't Sleep
The odometer analogy needs more explanation because of the difference between signed vs. unsigned integers. This assumes the analogy should stay here. --Smartin (talk) 05:02, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
I replaced the phrase "integral number" with "integer", because "integral" is an overloaded term in math, while "integer" always means a signed whole number, and is introduced in grade school arithmetic. --MisterSpike (talk) 15:39, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
