Dr. Mark H. Shapiro: "Mississippi West"
The recent report from the RAND Corporation that chronicles in great detail the decline of public education in California has generated much commentary in the press and online. In the view of the IP most of this commentary, which assigns the blame for the sorry state of public education in the once golden state to one or two primary causes, misses the mark.


Paul Krugman: Gambling With Your Retirement
(Click on "Columns," then on "Gambling With Your Retirement.")
A few weeks ago I tried to explain the logic of Bush-style Social Security privatization: it is, in effect, as if your financial adviser told you that you wouldn't have enough money when you retire - but you shouldn't save more. Instead, you should borrow a lot of money, buy stocks and hope for capital gains.

Last Night

Overcast early, sunny afternoon.

Our quest for snow was fairly successful.

There was no snow near the Mt. Wilson turnoff, so we kept driving up the Angeles Crest. Eventually came across some crusty, brown-with-dirt snow by the side of the road.

Parked the car, hiked a bit, and found more snow. The kid hopped around for a while & made some snowballs. Home before supper.

Felt Drawn Back to Mississippi

Morgan Freeman

Morgan Freeman has an easy answer when people ask why he chose to live in Mississippi: "I'm a major, internationally famous motion picture star. I can live where I want to."

Freeman, who has appeared in more than 50 films and has been nominated for four Academy Awards, grew up in Mississippi but left the area in 1955.

"I had no plans to come back here," Freeman said this past week as he was added to the Leflore County Hall of Fame. "I was just going to keep going."

But he was drawn back by his parents and returned to live in Charleston in 1992. When he returned, he remembered why the place felt right.

"All my life, I felt nurtured because I was here," he said. "I was raised by a whole village, and I feel blessed for that."

Denounces Stories About Wife

Paul McCartney

Stung by media sniping at his wife, Paul McCartney wants to set the record straight. She doesn't make decisions for him, didn't tell him to dye his graying hair, and gets along just fine with his kids.

The former Beatle posted a message Friday on Heather Mills McCartney's official Web site, rebutting some of the "scurrilous reports" about the model turned anti-landmine campaigner he married in 2002.

On his use of hair dye, 62-year-old McCartney wrote: "I was engaged in this devilish practice years before I met her." He denied rumors he has had plastic surgery, and said it was "an insult to my intelligence" to suggest his wife coerced him into making charity TV appearances.

Mexican Soap Opera 'Rebelde'

Lenny Kravitz

The producers of Mexico's soap opera "Rebelde" ("Rebel"), a huge hit with teens, are courting US rocker Lenny Kravitz, a source at his recording label, EMI, told AFP.

If the deal goes through, Kravitz would appear in a few episodes that would air in March, when Kravitz is due to be in Mexico on a concert tour.

The show is about young people in a boarding school who turn to music as a way out of trouble. The idea would be for the kids to visit Kravitz, while he is practicing with his band, and ask for some advice.

"Rebelde" is also being broadcast in El Salvador, Guatemala and Puerto Rico, and in March will make its debut in the United States.

Spider Sculptures

Havana

Sculptures and prints by Louise Bourgeois, including her monumental "Maman" spider, went on show in Havana this weekend in the first major exhibition in Cuba by a contemporary U.S. artist.

A U.S.-based organizer said he was surprised last year to obtain a U.S. Treasury Department license to hold the show in Communist-run Cuba in the current hostile political climate between the two countries.

The 20 sculptures and 11 prints from Bourgeois' private collection, insured for $15 million, had to be shipped to Cuba through Canada due to four-decade-old U.S. sanctions that have been tightened by the administration of resident Bush.

Bourgeois, one of the most important living artists, was the first woman to have a retrospective at New York's Museum of Modern Art in 1982. The French-born U.S. abstract expressionist, 93, did not travel to Cuba for the show, which will run until April.

Devil Made Him Do It

Houston

The devil made him do it, representatives for R&B singer Houston said in a statement explaining how his eye was seriously gouged.

Houston's publicist issued a statement Thursday night denying reports he tried to take his life by jumping from a London hotel window last week. The statement said Houston "found himself in the midst of a spiritual battle against the evil that runs rampant in the entertainment industry."

Houston, whose 2004 single I Like That was used in a McDonald's commercial, was found in his London hotel room with a serious eye injury. He was briefly in hospital.

Sues 83-Year-Old Dead Woman

Music Industry

Gertrude Walton was recently targeted by the recording industry in a lawsuit that accused her of illegally trading music over the Internet. But Walton died in December after a long illness, and according to her daughter, the 83-year-old hated computers.

More than a month after Walton was buried in Beckley, a group of record companies named her as the sole defendant in a federal lawsuit, claiming she made more than 700 pop, rock and rap songs available for free on the Internet under the screen name "smittenedkitten."

Walton's daughter, Robin Chianumba, lived with her mother for the last 17 years and said her mother objected to having a computer in the house.

"I believe that if music companies are going to set examples they need to do it to appropriate people and not dead people," Chianumba said. "I am pretty sure she is not going to leave Greenwood Memorial Park (where she is buried) to attend the hearing."

Band Fails to Play in Libya

Heavenly States

An American rock band hoping to be the first Western group to play in Libya since Muammar Gaddafi came to power 35 years ago could not perform because of an administrative glitch, government officials said on Saturday.

The Heavenly States, a little-known group based in Oakland, California, had arrived in Libya on Feb. 1 to play three concerts, including one in the Roman ruins of Leptis Magna.

Government officials said there had been a problem with the group's visa.

The fact that the band's lyrics have a dose of rhetoric criticizing resident Bush was not officially mentioned as a possible reason behind the cancellation of the concerts.

N. Korea Wants Czech Ban

'Team America'

North Korea's embassy in Prague has demanded that the film "Team America: World Police" be banned in the Czech Republic, saying the movie harms their country's reputation, a report said Saturday.

In the film by "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, a team of marionettes rushes to keep North Korean leader Kim Jong Il from destroying the world, reducing world capitals to rubble along the way.

The Czech Foreign Ministy said the film would not be banned in the Czech Republic.

'Black History Month'

Spike Lee

The US embassy in Colombo said it will screen a series of movies by veteran US filmmaker Spike Lee in the Sri Lankan capital to mark "Black History Month."

"In honour of 'Black History Month', famous director Spike Lee's works will be screened as Lee is considered one of the most provocative and adept filmmakers in contemporary cinema," the embassy said in a statement.

The US festival, held every year to recognize the contributions that African-Americans have made to their country's history, will show Lee's critically acclaimed works such as "Do The Right Thing", "School Daze", "Jungle Fever" and "Malcolm X" between February 10 and 14.
