The Tampa Bay Times reports that Big Cat Res- cue founder Carole Baskin, prominently fea- tured in Netflix’s Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness, started selling face masks with her oft-quoted catch- phrase Saturday. The dual-layered tie masks feature the words “Hey all you cool cats and kittens” above a whis- kered feline smile. View- ers of the popular docu-series know that’s Baskin’s catchphrase. Masks cost $11 each and come in black or leop- ard print. The masks are being sold to raise money to help big cats. Portions of the proceeds also sup- port first-responders.

Dear Members of the Planning Commission, The 2018 World Cup said it all. What a great event! Nashville could also potentially share in the sport the binds the world together. I support the proposed Major League Soccer Stadium and renovation to the Fairgrounds Nashville. Professional sports teams in Nashville have turned into major brands that are recognized across their various leagues. The Predators not only hosted the NHL All Star weekend not long ago but are widely hailed as having the best home ice advantage in hockey. The Titans, on the heels of their incredible new uniform update ceremony, were selected to host next year's NFL draft at Ascend Amphitheater. Professional sports always have, and always will greatly benefit not only the neighborhoods where they play, but the city as a whole. I would ask that you seize this opportunity to make history with us and vote to approve this soccer stadium as well as the accompanying fairgrounds renovations. I recently went on a trip to Belize, and in the small village of Hopkins, Belize, I and my wife had the privilege of experiencing the World Cup final between Croatia and France with many people throughout the world in this village.

  • Some Cultural and Linguistic Functions of Obituaries In
    WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WHEN AND WHERE WE TALK ABOUT DEATH: SOME CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC FUNCTIONS OF OBITUARIES IN MODERN AMERICAN CULTURE A RESEARCH PAPER SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULLFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTERS OF ARTS BY CRYSTAL D. KIDD DR. ELIZABETH RIDDLE-ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA DECEMBER 2011 2 Death is not an option, but writing and publishing an obituary is a choice—a choice that many people still make every day. The reasons behind it are many because published obituaries continue to serve many private and public functions. They announce a death to a community. They extend an invitation to attend a funeral both explicitly and often also implicitly to the general public. They are a permanent public record of a death. They are a commemoration of a life lived and valued as well as a written public rhetorical space for reflecting the personal and social values surrounding death and life within a society‟s mainstream culture. This study will examine how U.S. American mainstream culture writes about death as it occurs every day to ordinary people. Drawing from a number of sources that concern the interconnected fields of sociolinguistics, English language rhetoric and writing, communication studies, as well as my own original research, my primary aim here is to explore questions concerning what the modern, twenty-first century, U.S. obituary reveals about our cultural understanding of death and ways in which the modern obituary format influences how we announce, honor, and say farewell to the individual. Specifically, this paper will address two related areas of inquiry concerning obituaries as cultural and linguistic artifacts.
