Problems with your website
Marty,
This is the first time in many, many days your page has completely opened for me!
You mentioned having had computer trouble and problems with Yahoo and I'm hoping these glitches have been solved and that I will be able to get ALL of your page again. Usually, part of the page opens and I get a "Timed Out" box after about ten minutes.
This has been happening for perhaps three weeks. No amount of refreshing or re-logging helps. Yesterday I got most of the "disinfotainment" section but none of your stuff.
Jim P
Thanks Jim - I thought all my problems with Yahoo were behind me. I don't have any answers, though. Anybody?
'Nick's Crusade'
Nick Dupree
Nick Dupree, a quadriplegic who was due to lose vital home care services provided by Medicaid this month has won a reprieve, along with up to 29 other severely disabled Alabamans.
Under Medicaid rules, Dupree's 16-hours-a-day home care would have ceased on his 21st birthday, Feb. 23. For Dupree, who has a rare form of muscular dystrophy and requires a ventilator, wheelchair and
home nursing care, that could have meant having to move into a nursing home 195 miles away in Louisiana.
Patients who have already been cut off are not covered. However, Dupree's brother Jamie, 18, who also is a quadriplegic with a rare form of muscular dystrophy, is affected.
The brothers live with their mother, Ruth Belasco, a professor of fine arts at Spring Hill College, the private Roman Catholic college that both her sons attend.
The waiver was granted after activists announced plans to gather outside the White House on Tuesday to protest the Medicaid policies.

Last Night
Rained all day & the kid was home sick.
The orange kitten got bit near his ass, and not a 'love-nip', either.
Feeling like if it leaks, seeps, or weeps, it's mine. Well, sorta-kinda.
Tonight, Thursday, CBS starts the evening with the 90-minute Season Premiere of 'Survivor: The Amazonian Battle Of The Sexes' (the positive connotations of Amazons were lost on me once I found out the right breast had to be lopped off - the better to pull the drawstring of a bow),
followed by a FRESH 90-minute version 'CSI: Crime Scene Investigation', that involves a lot of leather & discipline.
Scheduled on a FRESH Dave are Kid Scientists, Kurt Russell, and Seether.
Scheduled on a FRESH Craiggers are Rob Schneider, model Veronica Varekova, and Counting Crows.
NBC is 'super-sizing' the comedy portion of the evenings viewing (that allows them to 'save' an episode of 'whatever' for a 'dry spell') - so, it's a 40-minute FRESH 'Friends', followed by a
40-minute FRESH 'Scrubs', then a 40-minute FRESH 'Will & Grace', followed by a FRESH 'ER', where Sally Field guests.
Scheduled on a FRESH Jay are Kevin Spacey, Will Ferrell, and the Calling.
Scheduled on a FRESH Conan are Jennifer Garner and Harland Williams.
Scheduled on a FRESH Carson Daly are Kelsey Grammer and Joseph Arthur.
ABC, showing more of those Disney-family-values, has the Series Premiere of 'Are You Hot? The Search For America's Sexiest People', followed by 'PrimeTime Thursday'.
The WB offers a RERUN 'High School Reunion', followed by a FRESH 'Surreal Life', and a FRESH
'Jamie Kennedy'.
Faux regurgitates a RERUN 'Joe Millionaire', followed by 'The Pulse', hosted by that kid who has difficulty parallel parking.
UPN pisses away the night with 'WWE SmackDown!', with the return of the now 'Hollywood' Hulk Hogan, to answer 'the Rock'.
TCM once again pays tribute to Black History Month, with a line-up of seldom seen films.
First up, is
The Jackie Robinson Story (1950), which stars (oddly enough),
Jackie Robinson, himself, and the always amazing
Ruby Dee
The rest of the night is devoted to what was euphemistically referred to as 'race' movies -
Juke Joint (1947), then
Dark Manhattan (1937), followed by
Swing! (1938), then, the silent classic
Within Our Gates (1920), and ending with
Gang War (1940) - so much talent, so little recognition.
Anyone have any opinions?
Or reviews?

'War Is Not the Answer'
Martin Scorsese
Hollywood director Martin Scorsese added his voice Wednesday to the chorus of U.S. celebrities opposed to military action against Iraq, saying violence would not solve the world's problems.
"There must be people who remember World War II and the Holocaust who can help us get out of this rut," he was quoted as saying.
He said the senseless use of violence to solve the world's problems would merely make things worse and create a generation of psychopaths similar to Travis Bickle, the disturbed anti-hero of
his classic 1976 film "Taxi Driver," who is bent on ridding New York City of its moral decay.
"If we Americans go out into the world to wipe out people, we still leave their children behind. You end up creating a world of the dispossessed, people like Travis Bickle," he said.

Starring In 'The Wolf & Peter'
Gorby & Sophia & Bill
Mikhail Gorbachev is teaming up with former US president Bill Clinton and actress Sophia Loren to record a new version of the classic children's musical "Peter and the Wolf."
Retitled "The Wolf and Peter", the remake of Sergei Prokoviev's tale will tell the story from the point of view of the wolf, faced with the encroachments of urbanisation on his dwindling forest habitat.
The Russian National Orchestra (RNO) commissioned a new score from French composer Jean-Pascal Beintus, and the new text is by US writer Walt Kraemer.
Gorbachev will narrate the introduction in English, working with US conductor and three-time Grammy-winner Kent Nagano, who is currently in Moscow to conduct a concert on Sunday.
The new music has already been recorded by Nagano in Geneva, where he worked with Clinton and Loren last December.
Clinton and Loren plan to donate their fees to charity, while Gorbachev, a noted campaigner for ecological causes, will send his to Green Cross International, the environmental defence group he founded in 1993.
The recording is one of a series of events being organised in Russia to mark the 50th anniversary of Prokoviev's death. He died on March 5, 1953, within a few hours of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin.

Prosecutors Reject 'Vintage Porn' Defense
Paul Reubens
What exactly did Paul Reubens have in his massive erotica collection, and did he know he had it, are the questions now dominating the child pornography case against the former "Pee-wee Herman" star.
In court documents that revealed the first details of what police seized at the actor's Los Angeles home, prosecutors fended off Reubens' attempt to have the misdemeanor charge against him dropped for lack of evidence.
In court documents filed on Tuesday, Deputy City Attorney Richard Kraft said Berk "inaccurately characterized" the nature and quantity of the material in question as "a single vintage film," "isolated images" and "vintage magazines."
A source close to the actor said the photos described by prosecutors included nearly 100-year-old tintype photos of young men posed as Greek statues.
The source said the actor -- who also maintains large collections of 1950s memorabilia, plastic vegetables and 3-D photography -- bought much of the erotica collection in large lots and was unaware of its exact contents.
Civil rights and gay rights advocates have rallied to Reubens' defense.
A Village Voice cover story argued that the Reubens case "dramatically expands the parameters of what is considered child pornography ... that should trouble us all."

'American Idol' Finalist Axed for Exposing Mammaries
Frenchie Davis
A finalist on the hit Fox TV reality show "American Idol" has been kicked off the program following the discovery that she posed topless on a porn Web site that purports to feature underage girls.
Frenchie Davis, a 23-year-old singer whose powerhouse vocals dazzled the judges and made her a strong contender for the title, was dismissed from the popular show on Tuesday, a spokesman for Fox said.
Davis, from Washington, D.C., will be replaced on the Feb. 25 episode of "American Idol" by an alternate.

Relishes Nod 35 Years After Mistake
Paul Simon
Paul Simon said he's celebrating his new chance at an Oscar after a paperwork mistake likely kept his song "Mrs. Robinson" out of the competition 35 years ago.
The singer-songwriter received his first Academy Award nomination Tuesday for "Father and Daughter," from the animated "The Wild Thornberrys Movie."
He said many people erroneously believe he was nominated for "Mrs. Robinson," which he and former collaborator Art Garfunkel sang in 1967's "The Graduate."
"We forgot to fill in the forms," Simon acknowledged with a laugh. "You know, it was the '60s. We just weren't paying attention. We went along our way and never filled it in. That's what happened."
"Talk to the Animals" from "Doctor Dolittle" claimed the movie song honor at that year's Oscars.

Americans Slam Bush Over Iraq
Berlin Film Festival
New York film director Spike Lee led a chorus of criticism against President Bush at the Berlin Film Festival Wednesday, telling the president he had no moral authority to launch a war against Iraq.
Going out of his way to praise the French and German governments for their outspoken resistance to the U.S. government's war moves, Lee said it was an outrage that Bush was ignoring world opinion in his rush to attack Iraq.
"When you think about it, the German and French governments should be commended," Lee said at a news conference after his film "25th Hour," about New York after the Sept. 11 attacks, made its international premiere.
Lee, famed for his thought-provoking films about New York City, was joined by the cast of "25th Hour" in denouncing Bush. The anti-war comments drew thunderous applause from many of the 300 journalists and followed similar remarks from other
U.S. celebrities in Berlin for the annual film festival.
"I hope the world community will continue to voice itself and apply pressure on the U.S. government," said Edward Norton, who stars in Lee's film. "American citizens have to do it too. It's dismaying to see the unilateralism
that the government is doing. They're aren't enough rational steps."
"It's nice being in Europe this week," he added. "Almost everyone in Germany and France is in sync with the governments. I almost forgot what it's like to be proud of my government."
Actress Rosario Dawson added she was frightened by the patriotic mood sweeping the United States.
"Any dissenting opinion is considered unpatriotic," she said. "It makes me upset. I'm embarrassed. It's my hope that Americans won't jump on anyone having a dissenting opinion."

Poking In The Paramount Picture Vault
Turner Classic Movies
Turner Classic Movies has bought the cable-TV rights to 61 Paramount theatricals encompassing movies from the 1940s through the early 1980s.
The movies start flowing to the cable channel later this year, and they'll include some of the best-known titles in Paramount's library, such as "The African Queen," "Shane," "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance," "Children of a
Lesser God," "The Bad News Bears," "Heaven Can Wait" and "Love Story. "
The purchase of some of these titles indicates that Turner Classics is trying to broaden its appeal to a somewhat younger viewership than the 50-plus group that makes up the bulk of its audience.
One of the reasons it has hesitated to buy pictures produced later than the '30s, '40s and '50s (its stock in trade) is that the network hates to edit movies for sex, violence and foul language, which is not in keeping with
its mission to present theatricals in as pure a form as possible.

Celebratory Bra & Knickers
Best Actress Nominees
The five Hollywood stars who Tuesday won best actress nominations can now expect at least one more honour: a complimentary set of diamond-studded bra and panties.
The actresses vying for the top prize -- Nicole Kidman, "Chicago's" Renee Zellweger, Julianne Moore from "Far From Heaven," Salma Hayek and Diane Lane -- will even get their initials monogrammed on the 5,000-dollar items.
Each bra will be custom-made with the nominee's initials which will be set into a removable white gold good-luck charm featuring two 0.25-carat diamonds, Victoria's Secret revealed.
Other trinkets in the "goodie bags" for nominees include a 15,000-dollar gift voucher to makeup house Estee Lauder's Oscar Spa that they can use with a pampered pal in the week running up the the Oscars show.
This year, nominees will also get free mobile phones and calling plans so they can tell their loved ones about the spa.
Last year's nominees enjoyed similar pampering, as did presenters who handed out statuettes at the Oscars show.

U2 Oscar Win Would Be 'Dream'
Bono
U2 has won virtually every music award a band can win, but front man Bono said an Oscar win would be the fulfillment of a dream for the Irish rock band.
"The Hands That Built America" is nominated for best original song. It was written for "Gangs of New York," a mid-19th century epic depicting the struggle between Americans who called themselves "natives"
and the Irish immigrants who were pouring into New York City.
"Our dream is that the Academy will recognize the fact that this song grew out of the story and the characters. It wasn't just put in the film," Bono told AP radio. "That's what we're most proud of."
Bono said Oscars organizers have not contacted U2 about performing at the March 23 awards ceremony.

Claims Lost Movie Role Over Iraq Views
Sean Penn's Version
Actor Sean Penn is claiming in a lawsuit that he lost a movie role because of his public opposition to a U.S. war against Iraq.
But Movie producer Steve Bing has countered in his own lawsuit that Penn is "irrational and irresponsible" and accused the actor of trying to extort $10 million for a movie he had no deal to star in.
Bing and Penn hit each other with Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuits on Tuesday in a bitter feud over the putative movie, "Why Men Shouldn't Marry," that could result in a classic courtroom showdown.
Bing alleged that on Penn's return from Iraq, Penn threatened "to turn their business dispute into a First Amendment crusade" although it had nothing to do with free speech, threatening to tell the
media he had been forced off the movie because of his opposition to a U.S. invasion.
Bing said he had never closed a deal with Penn but had spent millions of dollars on pre-production for the movie which he wrote and intends to direct in the belief that the actor would be on board.
Penn claims breach of oral contract and is asking for $10 million in damages. Bing claims civil extortion and is claiming $15 million in damages.

Accuses Sean Penn of Extortion
Steve Bing's Version
Producer Steve Bing is suing Sean Penn for $15 million, accusing the actor of trying to extort $10 million from him in a dispute over whether Penn would star in a proposed movie titled "Why Men Shouldn't Marry."
According to the lawsuit, Penn appeared to have lost interest in the project but still tried through various means to force Bing to pay.
If the money wasn't paid, the lawsuit indicates, Penn would publicly embarrass Bing by saying a political disagreement between the two had kept him from making the movie.
"Penn's representatives menacingly warned Bing that Penn could not be controlled, and that he was crazy and irrational," the lawsuit stated.
According to the lawsuit, Bing and his company, Shangri-La Entertainment, invested millions of dollars to make the film. Among the efforts Bing made, according to the action, was contracting with Woody Allen
to appear in the film and provide script notes for it in exchange for Penn's agreement to drop a demand for script approval before he would commit to the project.

Working For Frito-Lay/Pepsi
Dana Carvey & Tony Hawk
Frito-Lay hopes consumers find new commercials featuring actor Dana Carvey and skateboard star Tony Hawk as entertaining as they found a Doritos Salsa ad with singer Enrique Iglesias, which boosted chip sales late last year.
Frito-Lay North America, the most profitable unit of PepsiCo Inc., on Wednesday unveiled the two new spots to analysts and investors at PepsiCo's Purchase, New York headquarters.
Carvey, known to many for his portrayal of characters such as the Church Lady on Saturday Night Live, will promote the company's new Lay's Stax brand, John Compton, president of Frito-Lay's new salty division, said during
a presentation. The product, a competitor to Procter & Gamble Co.'s Pringles potato crisps, is due out later this year.
Hawk will appear in a commercial for Go Snacks, which are portable plastic containers filled with miniature versions of some Frito-Lay snacks such as Rold Gold pretzels.

Faux To The Rescue
Michael Jackson
An outraged Michael Jackson has signed a deal with Fox television to air his rebuttal to a controversial documentary that put his eccentric life under a critical microscope.
Fox said on Wednesday it would air a two-hour special on Feb. 20 featuring Jackson's own footage of British interviewer Martin Bashir, who is seen telling him; "Your relationship with your children is spectacular."
The Fox special, called "Take 2; The Interview They Wouldn't Show You," includes footage from Jackson's own cameraman taken over the eight-month period that Bashir spent with Jackson at his Neverland
ranch in California, in Berlin and in Las Vegas.
The Fox special includes interviews with Debbie Rowe, Jackson's former wife and mother of two of his children, in which she defends the singer.
It also features an interview with 12-year-old cancer sufferer Gavin Arvizo, who has shared Jackson's bedroom and was seen tightly clutching hands with Jackson during the original documentary.

Earns Oscar Nomination
Donald Kaufman
Donald Kaufman is a rarity among Academy Awards nominees this year or any year: He doesn't exist.
Charlie Kaufman, a previous nominee for "Being John Malkovich," created make-believe twin brother Donald to share the writing credit for "Adaptation," and both were nominated Tuesday for adapted screenplay.
It was the first nomination ever for a fictional entity. Filmmakers have received nominations under assumed names — Joel and Ethan Coen used the film-editing pseudonym "Roderick Jaynes," and Robert Towne shared a
screenwriting nomination for 1984's "Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes" under the name of his sheepdog, P.H. Vazak.
Hired to adapt Susan Orlean's book "The Orchid Thief," Charlie Kaufman struggled with the script, then whimsically wrote himself and the nonexistent twin into the story.
Academy officials say the two credited writers would share a single statue if "Adaptation" wins.

Taped Ads For Mobile Phones
Twentieth Century Fox
A British watchdog rapped film maker Twentieth Century Fox Wednesday for a sending out a "menacing" mobile phone advertisement featuring the voice of actor Tom Cruise.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) criticized the company's home entertainment arm after receiving 18 complaints from people who received the ad for the video and DVD release
of the film "Minority Report" on their mobile phones.
The message used a short clip from the film beginning with a man's voice drawing breath before Cruise asks: "Where's my 'Minority Report?"'
Only at the end of the clip does the message reveal itself by stating: "Don't miss out on your 'Minority Report.' Buy it now on DVD and video."
Complainants said they found the advert "offensive" and felt it could have caused distress by not making it clear it was a promotion.
Others objected to having to pay to retrieve the advertisement from their voicemail.

Remains Have Been Moved
Jimi Hendrix
The remains of rock musician Jimi Hendrix have been moved to a new granite and marble memorial that is nearing completion in Renton, a Seattle suburb.
The remains of his father, Al Hendrix, who died last April, and Al's wife, Ayako "June" Hendrix, also now rest in vaults at the center of the memorial at Greenwood Memorial Park and Cemetery, and the cremated remains of his grandmother,
Nora Hendrix, will be placed there as well, said Janie L. Hendrix, the music legend's half-sister.
His initial burial site, marked only by a simple flat gravestone reading "Forever in Our Hearts — James M. Jimi Hendrix 1942 — 1970," has drawn a steady stream of visitors from around the world.
Janie Hendrix said her half-brother's remains were moved from his old burial site in the same cemetery Nov. 26, the day before he would have turned 60.
The memorial, located on a circular drive in the southwest corner of the cemetery, features a granite dome nearly 30 feet high supported by gray granite columns trimmed in "rainbow" marble. The old headstone is now at the new location, visible from the east.
