Relief and support during Covid-19: A list of links and resources
We've put together a list of webpages and resources where people can find up-to-date information and support while the UK is tackling the Coronavirus crisis. In particular, these links are for those people who may be living in precarious situations, facing financial hardship, housing insecurity, or mental health concerns. Follow the links below to find information on managing bills, dealing with landlords, and more.
We have also included resources for groups who may be at a higher risk of either illness or who are likely to become vulnerable during the lockdown period, which you can find below.
Last updated 04.04.20
Links to Government Covid-19 relief measures
The Government has issued a list of what it considered key workers at this time and therefore who has school eligibility at this time: Guidance for schools and education providers.
The Government's full guidance for tenants, landlords, housing providers and local authorities can be found here. The current measures mean no-one (including private renters, social renters, property guardians, and people in TA) will face eviction for three months, and LHA rates have been increased to cover 30% of rent.
Turn2Us has a regularly updated webpage with guidance on all the new and existing benefits. This page also includes a benefits calculator and a list of grants available for people in financial hardship.
StepChange, the debt charity, also has advice about how to manage bills and debts during this time, with advice about what creditors and utility companies may do to help individuals unable to pay.
The government has promised that utility companies will not be allowed to disconnect credit meters at this time, and customers in financial distress will be supported by their energy company to look at options for reducing payments or debts. This link also includes advice for people with pre-pay meters, and a list of utility company helplines.
Several mobile and internet providers including Vodaphone, EE and O2 have agreed to protect vulnerable customers by removing broadband data caps, providing support to those who cannot meet their bills, and offer affordable packages.
And here is information about how parents and carers can access supermarket vouchers for children eligible for free school meals.
Guidance and support for specific groups
BME groups
The Race Equality Foundation has guidance on how Covid-19 may impact black and minority ethnic people. While BME groups generally have a younger average age, risk factors like heart disease and diabetes are higher in African/Caribbean and South Asian groups. BME people are also more likely to be in key worker occupations and more likely to live in overcrowded conditions than white British people, and therefore potentially at higher risk of exposure to infection.
Victims of domestic abuse
Solace Women's Aid, the Public interest Law Centre, and other specialist VAWG groups are concerned we will see a surge in violence in the home, as victims of abuse are unable to leave the home. They are calling for urgent action for domestic violence survivors during the lockdown, with a letter to the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government. They are also calling for refuges to receive ring fenced Coronavirus funding.
Solace are also offering four 1-hour webinars for FREE about how to support DV survivors at this time.
Measures to protect private renters were revised over the last week and may still change again, but for now Generation Rent has gathered the latest Government support packages that are available, and how to access them.
Shelter has regularly updated guidance for both renters and home owners about their rights and benefits during this time.
But there are calls for more to be done, and London Renters Union are calling for rent suspensions, in line with the mortgage holidays offered to homeowners. They also have drafted a template letter renters can use to negotiate rent holidays or decreases with their landlord.
The Home Office has pledged to stop evicting asylum seekers from government accommodation for a period of three months once their claim or appeal is decided. A decision will be made on Friday 3rd April about whether to suspend No Recourse to Public Funds policy.
Here is useful advice for supporting migrants and asylum seekers during the crisis, with additional helplines. And here is a petition calling for people being held in immigration detention to be released so they can have proper access to healthcare.
Children in temporary accommodation
The Lancet has written a short comment about how children in temporary accommodation are at high risk of exposure to Covid-19 and potential direct and indirect health impacts of isolating in overcrowded, shared or confined spaces.
Scope has lots of information for disabled people about support that is available at this time. And here is guidance for tackling isolation during a time of 'physical distancing' to keep us socially connected, from AbilityNet, a charity that aims to ensure IT is available to everyone regardless of ability, including older and disabled people.
Concerns have been raised by disabled rights organisations that emergency changes to the Care Act means that local authorities could suspend their duties and refuse people assessments and care.
People with mental illness
Rethink Mental Illness has put together questions and answers for people living with mental illness and those who care for them, including prescriptions and carer visits. The government also made emergency changes to the Mental Health Act last week, causing some concern that increased government powers will make it easier for people to be detained.

Kineara's team 'missionstorm' day: An update
Last month, our team decided it was time for a moment of reflection. With several new projects coming up at the end of this year, and a busy 2020 in the works, we knew it was the perfect opportunity to take a step back and take stock of where we have come from, where we are going and make sure that we do not lose sight of our mission as we grow. Rather than a brainstorm, we decided what we needed was a 'missionstorm', and this is the task we set ourselves.
As many people working in the social enterprise world will know, new opportunities, connections and projects offer both exciting possibilities and an inevitable challenge. For us, the biggest challenge was this: How do we bring our support services into new contexts without compromising our mission? How do we make sure that we are staying true to our values and putting the needs of those we serve first? How do we make sure our whole team collaborates and contributes to our projects and mission?
Since Kineara was first founded with our Rent Support Programme (RSP), which addresses and prevented evictions of vulnerable families in social housing, our offer has expanded to include mid-term tenancy sustainment programmes, educational wellbeing and support, employment support and our most recently designed intervention, Resettling, which has been created for people who have been homeless or in temporary accommodation to move back into sustainable housing with our support. In amongst that, we've still found the time to deliver community cohesion projects and been part of innovative participatory research on issues of housing services and improving pathways through temporary accommodation.
Throughout that time, we've kept to Kineara's ethos: that all our support is 1) holistic, understanding that people's lives are complex, with often multiple challenges that impact each other; and 2) people-centred and strength-based, so that we always recognise and emphasise the skills, aspirations and strengths that are inherent in everyone.
Nonetheless, as our provision ramps up we knew it was important that, as a team, we were all working towards the same mission, and driving towards the same goal. We looked at how other organisations larger and smaller than ours, both in the charity sector and outside of it, wrote about their mission and what it said about them. And then, we looked again at our own mission and asked ourselves the question, does this still speak to the heart of our work? What really is driving us? What do we really want to see as a result of the work we are creating?
And after some discussion, we refined our thoughts into a new mission statement:
It was then time to take a good look at our values. While it was all very well putting a mission statement together, what good was it if our values weren't aligned to it? So, we took the opportunity to choose and discuss key values that motivated each of us in our lives and work, to build an understanding of our team's character and motivations. It was wonderful to see what people felt was most important to them – sincerity, effectiveness, passion, respect, self-awareness, resilience, accountability, justice and collaboration – were all named as key values in their lives and work.
As anyone who works in social impact will understand, it is the passion reflected in the words above that motivates many to commit to serving people and communities in their work. With such a committed team, it was easy to consolidate these shared individual values into a set of principles that will guide Kineara's approach and work for the next year.
With the revised mission and updated values in mind, we then turned our attention to project mapping. Of course, as a social business with a community focus, project planning is made that bit more challenging because we not only need clear aims, goals, monitoring plans and a valid theory of change, but we also need to make sure each project is also financially viable so that we can be sustainable and continue to grow. This was our jumping point; as a small organisation with multiple projects running together, we felt that honing our processes, roles and expectations would be key for achieving our mission as a team.
So we took the time to envision a life cycle of a typical Kineara project, creating for ourselves a live 'map' where we are able to see at what stage each of our team members are needed, what contributions they may make to each phase and how each role intersects with the each other.
This became a really valuable and useful exercise that gave each team member far greater clarity over the important part they play in our project delivery and achievements. We are, clearly, a sum of our parts! In many ways, the exercise was a humbling one which left each of us with a great appreciation for each other's work, as well as a recognition of how we work together throughout a project to bring it to completion.

Bad housing makes us sick – and what we can do about it
We attended a recent conference in London exploring how housing effects our health, and how we can come together to fix the broken system. Our practitioner Sandra Axell reports back.
'Bad housing makes us sick' was a housing conference put together by Homes for All, Doctors Unite and Unite Housing Workers in London last Saturday. More than 100 people, including housing campaigners, doctors and health workers, trade union members and tenant representatives came together to share ideas and inspire new action plans. The brilliant guest speakers gave us all food for thought and below we share a summary of the topics that were discussed.
How the financialisation of housing is a global crisis
Raquel Rolnik, professor of urban planning at University of Sao Paulo, suggests that housing has moved on from being a valued
as a human right to being viewed as a commodity that is financially motivated. In the 1980's both Thatcher in the UK and Regan in the US introduced schemes to sell off houses in public ownership; in the UK the 'Right to Buy' scheme gave council tenants an opportunity to buy their home, but as more and more housing has gone into private hands new social housing has not been built, leading to many countries having a rental market that has become a 'finance playground'.
Watch Raquel Rolnik's speech here.
Journalist Dawn Foster, who writes for the Guardian newspaper among others, highlighted that the Conservative Government's recent 'Help to Buy' scheme, which was also put in place to encourage more home ownership, has been hijacked by large house building companies have used government subsidies to pay out big bonuses rather than lowering the house prices. Research show that the market prices was pushed up with as much as the government discount paid out, meaning that essentially, rather than make house prices more affordable, the cost has remained the same for the buyer and the profit has gone to the house builders.
In addition, the gap between rent and wages are growing. According to Shelter, between 2011 and 2017 the average rent increased by 16% nationally while wages only increased by 10%. But there are exceptions where the divide is much larger. In Barking and Dagenham, the wages in the same period only went up by 2%, but rents increased by 40%. The new benefits cap of £20,000 a year means that 97% of 2-bedroom properties on the privately rented market are unaffordable.
Dawn Foster
The panelists agreed that it is time to begin viewing housing as a human right again, and that to provide stable and secure housing for families, we should be focused on building more social housing and introducing rent controls. This is not only the ethical approach, but an affordable one: When the government invests in building social housing for everyone, in about 5-10 years the dwelling has paid for itself and the tenants rent payments go back into the accounts of local authorities, instead of to private landlords. Meanwhile, rent controls and longer tenancies within the private sector offers security to both landlords and renters, and prevents bigger landlords using the market as an investment and pushing up prices. This supports smaller landlords who have homes to rent and need the security of long term rent payments and tenancies.
Health in housing
Dr Jackie Applebee from Doctors Unite spoke about how bad housing is affecting health. Studies have suggested that homelessness can reduce life expectancy by 30 years and poor accommodation and living in poverty has a severe impact on life expectancy as well. People in temporary housing and social housing are often living in overcrowded conditions due to shortage of suitable properties. The lack of social housing or affordable housing means that people have to move more often, sometimes several times a year. Every time a household is relocated, they lose contact with their community and the support network that is available to them. Therefore, moving from a property affects social relationships and has a negative impact on mental health.
Terminus in Harlow is one example of how overcrowding affects mental and physical health. The 14 stories 1960's office block has been turned into housing without needing planning permission. The very small rooms are filled with families and single residents from councils in and around London and they are often may miles away from places and people that they know. Crime has risen in the area with around 40% since the tower block was converted and families are scared to let their children out of the room. Therefore, there is no place for the children to play or do homework, and the adults have got no privacy. Jackie, who works as a GP in Whitechapel, has seen the impact that overcrowding has on health. She says that sharing a small space is likely to lead to infections as conditions spread easily, leaving people are more prone to illnesses.
Next, Hannah Slater from Generation Rent spoke about how the insecurity of the private rented market is another factor that can affect mental health. The private rented market is growing due to a shortage of council houses, along with a steep rise in houses prices that are forcing more people to rent. The Royal London suggests that half the children born in the UK are starting their lives in rented accommodation. Most tenancy contracts are 'Assorted Shorthold Leases' with only a 6 month agreement. And under Section 21 rules, the landlords can evict the tenant after the agreement has ended without providing a reason. This leads to families having to relocate, losing the community that they have created, as well as their relationship with healthcare professionals and services around them. Biomarkers used in a study have indicated that people living in rented accommodation have higher level of stress chemicals in their blood compared to home owners.
Figures show that a third of private rented properties fail basic health and safety checks due to problems with, for example, damp and mould. But Section 21 means that tenants do not have any security, and they avoid making any complaints about the property as they face being evicted if they do.
Due to the increasing number of private renters, political parties have started to take notice of housing campaigns as private renters now represent a large part of their constituency. The Mayor of London has promised to abolish Section 21, and the Labour Party has added it to their manifesto after pressure from campaigners. Another suggestion to increase the security for private renters is to have a national register of landlords and for Councils to have more control of licensing schemes that they apply for.
Coming together for action
The conference agreed on a few points of action that the difference groups and movements could work towards together. They included things like:
Supporting and building the 15th June 'Grenfell – Never Again' protest march in
Ensuring housing rights are enacted and reinforced, backed by a strengthened independent tenant organisation.
Calling for an enforceable right to repairs for all tenants, linked to a
regular inspection regime.
Advocating for grant funding for existing and new council housing.
Campaigning around connected issues such as Universal Credit, bringing empty properties into use, reducing temporary accommodation, the sale of public land and investment in the NHS.
Backing the Charter for Housing Action in 2019 and extend the alliance for action.

Reflections on Reimagining Rent: 1 year on
One year on from starting the Reimagining Rent programme, Kineara's director Maria Morgan talks about our progress since leaving their first cohort of participants, and how the programme has helped us develop our Rent Support Programme (RSP+), a new and upcoming venture aiming to reduce evictions for vulnerable tenants in the private rented sector using holistic support.
How did you find the Reimagining Rent programme?
The Young Foundation (YF) found me actually, which is amazing! Last year, Kineara held a workshop with Azuko and Poplar Harca, where we invited professionals and practitioners across the housing sector to discuss how we could improve the journey through temporary housing. It was during the workshop that I met Radhika Bynon from YF and she told me about Reimagining Rent and encouraged me to apply. I asked when the deadline was and she said, "today!" So I went home and started the application straightaway.
It's the best thing we did because prior to that we were delivering the programme on a much smaller scale, and only really working with organisations who already knew about us, stayed with us and continued to renew their partnerships with us. It was a blessing that we made it onto the programme at such short notice, and it was exactly what we needed to elevate our work. The most exciting thing about Reimagining Rent is the common desire to make the private rented sector work better for vulnerable people, and that's certainly what we're all about at Kineara.
How have you been reimagining Kineara and the Rent Support Programme (RSP)?
The inspiration for our programmes comes from the FIP (Family Intervention Project) model: a dedicated keyworker approach with intensive, purposeful intervention. I took the ethos of the FIP model as the foundation to write Kineara's first programme, the RSP, viewing rent arrears as a trigger issue and shortening the intervention. But we wrote RSP in 2011, before the housing crisis had become so entrenched and before the worst of the welfare reforms. So I had to ask myself: how can RSP continue to make a difference in the changing context of housing?
At the same time, I'd been thinking about how to scale up Kineara's work and expand our reach but also take the programme into the private sector for vulnerable tenants. It took time for the idea to fully form and it finally came when I was sitting in a Reimagining Rent session listening to a speaker, I think it was Susan Aktemel actually. I was listening to her and then OMG! The penny dropped.
We're now beginning to have conversations with Local Authorities about RSP+ and I don't yet know the outcome of this work, but we're motoring ahead and wishing for the best. I hope that RSP+ can be duplicated across councils. I'd like our original RSP to be resurrected within housing providers too, and working on scaling up all of Kineara's work, which was one of the drivers for me joining Reimagining Rent.
As an organisation, we are reshuffling the way we do things to make it more efficient. I have an amazing team full of great people. We are all in it together and Kineara is not a one man band. I've been so blessed to have such amazing people to go join me on this journey.
It's been exciting to see the development of the Rent Support Programme Plus (RSP+) pilot in the last few months. Can you explain more about the new model we are piloting?
First of all, it is about working with Local Authorities to connect, support and engage both landlords and private tenants in their boroughs. Many councils have now introduced Landlord Licensing Schemes and accreditation schemes to help improve standards, and most do offer some form of advice line for private tenant in insecure tenancies or who are threatened with homelessness.
Of course, our RSP is not a silver bullet for all housing issues. But I asked myself, how can we build on the kind of support we've delivered with our social housing tenants in the past and extend it to the most vulnerable tenants in the PRS? As far as I could see, there were no other services providing this offer. So the first part of this pilot is to offer RSP to council's and work with them to strengthen their relationship with private landlords, offering alternative options to issuing Section 21's, preventing additional costs to the council in the form of re-housing, temporary accommodation and the rest, as well as, of course, preventing homelessness for households.
If you live in a council property, there is a far greater obligation to work things out with the tenant when problems arise such as rent arrears. It made me reflect on why a private landlord want to pay for a service like RSP when they can issue a Section 21 and have a brand-new paying tenant come into their property. This is why our delivery model is much stronger working with Local Authorities and they can also save a lot of money by participating. The difference between RSP and RSP+ is that the original programme is delivered for social housing tenants where the housing association pays for the intervention, whereas in RSP+ the Council invests in the programme, offering landlords a route away from eviction via our service and enabling intensive support to be delivered to private sector tenants whose vulnerability often goes under Local Authorities' radar until a households' needs become urgent.
Finally, do you have any advice for this year's cohort?
My advice to them is be open.
Sometimes we can defend what we know and we miss out on learning something new – it's a trap I have fallen into. Just let go and be open to allow your mind to think, take in new ideas and think creatively. And use the room, use the space, use the people around you. If you immerse yourself in that experience you will get so much more from it. It was the best thing that we've done as Kineara. It has really elevated our thinking. And I would say to everybody, enjoy it and make the most of it!
The group are very varied which is amazing. They seem to be coming from different perspectives but have the same goal, which is working to make the private rented sector better for vulnerable people, including those on low incomes. It's also a useful opportunity to reflect on where society is at. There are so many changes in the UK, and it's important that we have a strong foundation and identity about what we are doing, but have the flexibility to meet changing needs.
I would like to also say thanks to The Young Foundation for delivering such an impactful programme. Looking at the cohort that I was part of as well as the new cohort of participants, the ideas people are developing are pretty incredible and being introduced to investors who are willing and keen to support projects with a social purpose is awesome.
All the best to the new cohorts!

Kineara begins a new integrated rent and employment support programme
We are really excited to have begun a new programme this summer, with an ambitious aim to support 80 people into employment over the next two years.
The new Intensive Employment Support Programme has been developed alongside Tower Hamlets Family Intervention Project across the borough, and combines Kineara's flagship Rent Support Programme to create a unique model designed that integrates rent support and employment support into one.
We have already begun working with several residents of Poplar Harca Housing Association, with other housing associations already expressing interest running the service alongside their existing employment support work.
Our Rent Support Programme has already been successful in preventing evictions for families whose rent arrears had led them to the brink of eviction proceedings, with 97% of residents who completed the programme remaining in their homes after the intensive 10 week intervention.
Many of those families were among the thousands in Tower Hamlets who have faced unemployment and the precariousness it causes. These challenges have also recently been intensified by the benefit cap reductions and extended welfare reform. We have been able to secure training or employment for nearly half of the residents we've worked with, which has had a huge impact whether they are able to keep a secure tenancy.
We're excited to bring our expertise to a context we know well. We'll be able to connect residents with all kinds of useful services already available in the borough but that some people face barriers engaging with, like job broker Skills Match, Workforce Development, Bromley by Bow, as well as employment bodies linked to the Family Intervention Service and the local community.
As always, a dedicated support worker will work intensively with jobseekers using the same holistic approach that guides all our work, making sure that their overall wellbeing is taken into account. This might mean making sure therapeutic support is available, or skills training, or access to proper healthcare, so that people are able to secure work that is not only stable but also suited to them and their needs.
This project contributes to a new borough wide strategy to tackle unemployment, which includes training and support for local people to find job opportunities in the borough – as well as supporting businesses to create quality and well paid jobs locally – as one of its top employment priorities for 2016-17. This is important for another of its priorities, which is to ensure local low-income residents can access decent housing in the borough, which is becoming increasingly expensive and threatens to price out local residents.

Rep. Johnson Unveils New Report: GOP Health Care Sabotage Hitting Families With Staggering New Costs
DECATUR, GA – Rep. Hank Johnson (GA-04) highlighted a new study from the Center for American Progress showing that the GOP's years-long sabotage campaign has saddled hard-working families in every Congressional district in America with soaring new costs.
With legislation to sabotage the health marketplaces to executive actions to cut off key stabilization payments, slash the enrollment period in half and, push families into junk health insurance plans that don't cover essential benefits or protect people with pre-existing conditions, Republicans are responsible for rising health insurance premiums across America.
"At every turn, Republicans have pushed their bitter sabotage campaign to raise Georgians' health costs and gut their coverage," said Rep. Johnson. "The Republican health care agenda means vicious attacks on Georgians with pre-existing conditions, double-digit premium increases, shoddy junk coverage for families and massive tax breaks to Big Pharma – at the same time they hike Georgians' prescription drug costs. Make no mistake: Georgians' health care will never be safe as long as Republicans control Washington."
After Republicans triggered premium hikes of an average of 37 percent nationally in 2018, GOP health care sabotage is now set to hit Georgia's families with soaring new costs in 2019.
The district-by-district CAP report finds that the health care sabotage provisions included in the GOP tax bill and the Trump Administration's effort to push families into junk health insurance plans is having a stark impact on premiums across Georgia's Fourth District in 2019:
• A family of four will see an annual marketplace premium that is $3,490 higher.
• A 55-year-old couple will see an annual premium $3,840 higher on average.
• An unsubsidized 40-year-old will pay an annual extra $1,100 on average.
"I am proud to fight to deliver A Better Deal for the people than this Republican raw deal on health care," said Rep. Johnson. "Democrats have a strong, detailed plan to lower the skyrocketing cost of prescription drugs, and to strengthen Medicare, Medicaid and the health care of millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions. Democrats are fighting for the people, while the GOP cravenly puts Big Pharma and big corporations first."

The Scottsdale City Council Jan. 11 approved creating a business plan and feasibility analysis for the Desert Discovery Center concept, long envisioned as a place for people to learn about the Sonoran Desert at the Gateway Trailhead to Scottsdale's McDowell Sonoran Preserve.
The council awarded the contract to Desert Discovery Center Scottsdale, Inc., a private group formed to advance the idea. Over the next 18 months, they will engage the citizens of Scottsdale and others to create a comprehensive concept analysis and business plan.
Although budgeted in this approval, an architect will be selected through a separate action to create conceptual site and floor plans, and preliminary building designs, according to a press release.
The result will be estimated costs to build, maintain and operate the proposed center, which will help the city council make future decisions about whether to proceed any further.
Nearly $1.7 million in bed tax dollars – money paid by visitors who rent rooms at Scottsdale's resorts and hotels – was approved for this planning process. Bed tax dollars can only be spent on projects that support tourism in Scottsdale, the release stated.
In addition to creating a business plan and feasibility analysis, the city council also approved beginning the process to consider amending the city site plan at the Gateway Trailhead, which would be necessary if the Desert Discovery Center is built there.

My scholarly carrier has been dedicated to understanding and writing about the arts of working-class people, especially the material culture of Italian immigrants and their descendants. With my academic training as a folklorist I have paid serious attention to the aesthetics and social dimensions of women's embroidered cloth, religious architecture, and the singular genius of the likes of Sabato Rodia and his fantastic Watts Towers. I have helped arrange for the creative works of Vincenzo Ancona and Giovanni Indelicato be permanently placed in safe and appreciative museum settings. In addition, I have assisted in the process of listing the Lisanti Family Chapel and the Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Grotto in New York City on the National Register of Historic Places.
My dedication to this scholarship and cultural activism has caused me to wake from joyful dreams in which I discover some heretofore unknown work of folk or self-taught art. I'm lucky to say that my dream came true again.
Last month, I had the good fortunate of meeting Joseph "Chris" Crozzoli at his New Jersey home to see the marble tower that sits in his front yard. This piece—a scaled-down version of one of the two towers in Bologna—is one of several works made by Chris's grandfather Giovanni. Chris took the time to tell me about his grandfather's life and artistry.

Giovanni Crozzoli was born in Tramonti di Sopra (Pordenone province), in the northern region of Friuli, in 1894. He served in World War I as an Italian Alpini solider. (He collected a pension for his service from the Italian government up until at least 1940.) After the war he built a stone shrine/memorial in his town road to his brother Vittorio who died in the 1916 Battle of Gorizia (also known as the Sixth Battle of the Isonzo).
He arrived at Ellis Island on July 1, 1923 and after six years brought over his wife Anna and their sons Vittorio and Marino. After the family's reunification he bought a house at 1831 129th Street in College Point, Queens, which was owned by the family until Vittorio died in 2013.

The 1923 ship manifest listed Giovanni as a bricklayer and indicated that his final destination was Boston. Less than a year after arriving he became a member of the Bricklayers, Masons, and Plasterers International Union of America. In New York City, Giovanni worked until his retirement as a mason for Facchin and Son Construction, a College Point company owned by a paesano.

It was the work that Giovanni did during his off hours that brought me to Chris's New Jersey home. Chris told me that during the Depression his grandfather collected discarded chunks of marble from a neighborhood company and chipped away to create tiny bricks. In addition, to the two towers from Bologna, he also created the Leaning of Pisa, and a castle. The Pisa tower originally stood in the front yard and was eventaully moved to back yard. The second, shorter Bologna tower currently sits in the front yard of a College Point house and Chris speculates that his grandfather gave or sold it to a paesano. Giovanni died in 1966.
When Chris's father died in 2013, the family sold the house but he wasn't going to leave behind the towers. With help of friends, he dismantled the tower and carted it to New Jersey, while his brother Victor hauled the replica of Pisa's campanile to Long Island.

But these works are not all that Giovanni Crozzoli created in the United States. Here's a photo of him working on a shrine that he built for an unidentified church on Long Island. And then there were the decorated flowerpots, but that's for another blog. Stay tuned.

Adorno, Jazz, and the Aesthetics of Popular Music Theodore A. Gracyk 526 When academics analyze popular art, they usually subsume it under the rubric of "popular culture." Unfortunately, this approach assumes that "aesthetics is naked cultural hegemony, and popular discrimina- tion properly rejects it."! Although it is accepted that jazz is particu- larly rich as a mass-culture artform, its status as popular music— something distinct from the Western tradition of "serious" composed music—taints it as distinctly less valuable. In an attempt to undercut this prevailing disregard for the aesthetic value of popular music, I shall focus on the special case of jazz as treated in the seminal writings of Theodor W. Adorno. His theories have supported the tendency to approach popular art in terms of a sociological critique that downplays its aesthetic dimension; I will argue that Adorno's writings actually support the appraisal of jazz (and, by extension, other popular music) on its own terms. 1 A pivotal figure in the Frankfurt School, Adorno's sustained Kultur- kritik of popular music proposes that social context, including both the means of production and of access to music, is the major factor determining both the music's import and the audience's response." He illustrates his position with frequent, sustained analyses of jazz as the exemplar of all popular music. Although his jargon and style pose formidable difficulties, his views highlight the assumptions that denigrate the aesthetic value of jazz and other types of popular music. Adorno wrote frequently on jazz. He formulated many of his views in the 1930s and restated many of them in his later writings, particularly the Introduction to the Sociology of Music.> Over time, his analysis of popular music, including jazz, gained theoretical support from his comparison of Schoenberg and Stravinsky in the Philosophy ofAdomo and Jazz 527 Modern Music (1948).4 Surveying his scattered writings on music and art, I find that Adorno critiques jazz on two distinct levels, one local (criticisms generated by specific cases) and one global (criticisms aris- ing from his general aesthetic theory). Both are required to support his contention that jazz is always "bad," even if some of it is "good bad music." By exploring the relationship between the two levels, we are in a position to appreciate their problematic connection in Adorno's thought. Ironically, his theory contains features that suggest that jazz is a distinct art, as "true" as the music of the Schoenberg school. From the outset, readers should note Adorno's frequently uncon- ventional and ambiguous use of the term "jazz." If we go into any record store, we will find the merchandise divided into several catego- ries, popular hits in one place, classical music in another, and jazz in yet another. (Radio programming is similarly segmented, as Adorno notes.) There may be further distinctions, but imagine our surprise if Miles Davis were filed in the same section as Debussy, and Charlie Parker with Puccini. Adorno rejects such a grouping of jazz and classi- cal, but not because jazz deserves its very own category. For Adorno, Davis and Parker belong with all the other "jazz." In other words, Miles Davis should be filed alongside Mac Davis, Sammy Davis, Jr., and Danny Davis & The Nashville Brass. Charlie Parker belongs beside the British rocker Graham Parker in the popular, or "light," music section. Better yet, none of the above should be sold in the same store as Beethoven because this sort of merchandising only cre- ates the illusion that, as music, it is all just different types of the same thing, reducing Beethoven to the same vulgar level.° Adorno challenges the accepted view that jazz is stylistically distinct from and is aesthetically superior to other entertainment music and popular culture. Adorno thinks that approval of jazz reflects a false consciousness created by the "totalitarianism" of a profit- oriented "culture industry." To emphasize his disagreement, Adorno frequently classifies all nonclassical music as jazz, evidently based on. the dubious belief that jazz was the dominant and paradigmatic form of popular music during his lifetime. (Perhaps it did not occur to him that jazz was never synonymous with popular music and that with the emergence of bebop and later rock and roll, jazz became decidedly less popular.) In what follows, I use jazz in its normal sense—Louis Arm- strong, Charlie Parker, etc. —and widen the discussion to entertain- ment and popular music when Adorno's position requires it. For Adorno, the assumption that there are qualitative differences within the corpus of popular music is an allowable but ultimately pointless differentiation among levels of junk. Adorno is stingy with528 The Musical Quarterly examples, but he apparently admits that Charlie Parker made better music than Ernest Tubb; he grants that there is "some good bad music . . . along with all the bad good music," but this only proves that qualified musicians are willing to sell out to market forces.© From a broader perspective, however, his sociologically informed critique holds that all entertainment music is a "filthy tide," and has been for more than a century.? Those who champion jazz as great art are already making discriminations among "drivel" and so have "already capitulated to barbarism."® For Adorno, jazz is the exemplar of music debased as commercial commodity, and music that fails utterly as art. Viewing jazz itself, apart from a broader position on music as an aspect of culture, Adorno introduces several crucial premises about it and consequently about popular culture. His primary premise is his repeated insistence, even in the 1960s, that the music itself "has remained essentially unchanged" since its first commercial success in 1914. (He probably means 1917, when jazz was first recorded.) Although college courses trace the evolution of jazz from ragtime through swing through bebop and beyond, "none of this alters the fact that jazz has in its essence remained static."° Whether we focus on its thythmic vitality, improvisation, or experiments in tonality, Adorno insists that "the most striking traits in jazz were all independently produced, developed and surpassed by serious music since Brahms";!° jazz and pop music are "the dregs of musical history."!! They contain no genuine musical innovation, so any educational theory that creates an appreciation of jazz masks its "prescribed ever-sameness" of "stan- dard devices." Those who become "addicted" to the music are no different from an addict of alcohol or tobacco. '? Because it fails as music, Adorno introduces my basic assump- tion, one crucial to his argument. Jazz and other pop music must be given a sociological analysis to account for their appeal; popular music cannot be popular because of its aesthetic value, so what else accounts for its domination in this century? Having posited such a static and repetitive essence for jazz, he turns to a nonaesthetic account of its enigmatic success.!> In Aesthetic Theory, Adorno claims that the struc- ture of artworks always mirrors that of "the social process surrounding them."'4 But now his concern with social factors does double duty, explaining both the work's structure and its appeal. At times, Adorno offers an odd psychoanalytic explanation: the audience unconsciously responds to a "castration symbolism" within entertainment music.'5 I find this unpersuasive and unintelligible. His other argument fares better: "Jazz, however directed, would hardly be so appealing if it did not respond to some social need; but that in turn

There are numerous insect groups that can transmit disease to humans. Fleas have long been associated with disease transmission to humans, as they were instrumental in facilitating the spread of the plague during the late middle ages. As you probably know, this disease pandemic wiped out one third of Europe's population. This pandemic established fleas as the most devastating disease carrying insects in existence. Since then, however, mosquitoes have overshadowed fleas as the most deadly of all insects. Tragically, around 500 million people contract a mosquito-borne disease each year, and 2.7 million people die from mosquito-borne disease annually. Here in the United States, as well as in most other developed countries, national public health campaigns have largely succeeded in educating the public about the dangers of sustaining mosquito bites. Despite this, some mosquito-borne diseases can have bizarre effects that no American would have thought possible. For example, a female tourist permanently lost her ability to see in her right eye as a result of contracting a mosquito-borne disease while vacationing in the Caribbean.
The woman who lost her vision was 69 years old when she contracted the mosquito-borne disease known as chikungunya fever in the Bahamas. Shortly after sustaining the bites, the woman developed flu-like symptoms and joint stiffness. Despite being treated at a local clinic, the woman was not diagnosed with the disease until she returned home to the United Kingdom. After a month or so, the woman's symptoms mostly went away, but she began losing sight in her right eye. Doctors found that her eyesight troubles were being caused by a swollen optic nerve, so they resorted to steroid treatments while frantically running tests to determine the mysterious cause of the woman's eyesight loss. After several weeks, doctors learned that she had contracted chikungunya fever. Despite the doctor's initial confusion, researchers have noted eyesight issues in patients with this disease, but this was the first time that a British woman developed this rare symptom of chikungunya. Unfortunately, chikungunya may be spreading to new populations within developed countries, as an American man contracted this disease in Florida last year. This was the first chikungunya case in history to emerge in the US.
Do you think that chikungunya fever cases in the US will emerge within the next decade or so?

Archer Daniels Midland Co. names new c.e.o.
By Keith Nunes
Juan R. Luciano has been named to lead the company starting in 2015.
CHICAGO — Juan R. Luciano has been named chief executive officer of Archer Daniels Midland Co. He will succeed Patricia Woertz, who will remain chairman of the board and is expected to retire in May 2016. Mr. Luciano's appointment is effective Jan. 1, 2015.
"I am honored to have the opportunity to lead our great company and team into the future," Mr. Luciano said.

#2628 - Grumpy's, Garfield, WA - 9/14/2014
How could you not like a small town bar called Grumpy's? Grumpy's Tavern claims to be "The best place in Garfield to be for food and beer," and if you don't count the convenience store or assisted living facility, their case is unassailable. It's located in downtown Garfield, across from the meat locker. It's not a super rollicking place -- it's closes at 9pm every night, including Fridays and Saturdays. But it is a pleasant community gathering place, with wings, burgers, and other old school bar food to go with the cold beer. For the warmer months there is patio and expansive grassy beer garden out back.
Garfield Washington was founded in early 1880s and named after the recently assassinated president. The last census found the city has approximately 600 people, 97.3% of them white, and 0.2% of them African American (if you're good at math you know that means one black person). Whenever you find yourself in the parts of the Palouse, between Potlatch and Steptoe, you should consider swinging through Garfield and into Grumpy's for a cold one.

C & D's Tekoa Bar & Grill, Tekoa, WA
Tekoa ("TEE-koh") Washington sits just a mile from the Idaho border and straddling Hangman Creek. There are two restaurants in town but only one bar and that is C & D's Bar & Grill, AKA the Tekoa Bar and Grill. "C&D" stands for Cal and Donavon Chase, father and down who've run the place with their wives Cathy and Sara for the last severeal years. Before the Chases it was known as the Tekoa Tavern. And BTW, the sign out front announcing "Adam Passed!" was in reference to an employee passing the bar exam, not departing this mortal coil. C&D's serves up classic diner food with an emphasis on breakfast and burgers, including a comically big burger called "Donavon's Big Daddy."

#2626 - Fredneck's , Rockford, WA - 9/13/2014
If you are somehow capable of driving through a small rural town and NOT stopping at a place named something like "Fredneck's Saloon and Beanery," well, I just think we would have very little in common. A "beanery," of course, is the old timey name for a railroad eating house, although these days we now rarely refer to the female servers as "beanery queens." The old west false front is still there, but at today's beanery the Faro has been replaced by pull tabs, the cowboy hats by snapback baseball caps, and the mine and timber workers by aging bikers and insurance agents in cargo shorts. But I'll take the vestiges of the old west where I can get them, and it still feels a world away from Applebee's, so cheers to Fredneck's and God bless our beaneries. Make sure and stop here and have a drink.

"You need menus?"
"No, we're just drinking."
"Yay! I love drinking!"
"Can we see the wine list?"
"There's no wine list. This is Rockford."
As you might guess, we enjoyed our bartender/server, and though we were not eating this time, it looked like some pretty tasty versions of standard pub food come out of the kitchen. The Harvest Moon is a fairly sizable place, and a glance at their monthly schedule tells you that they host regular comedy nights, live music, hip hop nights, karaoke, pool tournaments and someone called an "Intuitive Consultant and Author of Universal Insight for Intuitive Readings."

#2624 - Spangle Saloon, Spangle, WA - 9/13/2014
The Spangle Saloon, Spangle, WA
Spangle Washington is a two-bar town about five miles south of Spokane. It dropped to one bar in the summer of 2008 when the Spangle Saloon suffered serious fire damage. It reopened Jan 31, 2009 with a larger kitchen, higher ceilings, and historic area photos on the walls. I have little idea how long it has been around -- although it's been since at least 1995, and in a building constructed in 1918. Despite the name and distressed wood exterior, it is really more of a diner than a saloon, serving better than average classic pub food and particularly valued for its broasted chicken.

#2623 - Brass Rail, Rosalia, WA - 9/13/2014
The Brass Rail, Rosalia, WA
A dozen years before the town of Rosalia, Washington was founded, the area was the scene of a battled declared as one of the last Native American victories over Europeans in the Washington Territory. "It is widely accepted that on May 6, 1858, Colonel Steptoe left Fort Walla Walla to reach Fort Colville. Accompanying him were the C, E, and H companies of the 1st Dragoons and the E company of the Ninth Infantry, along with five company officers, 152 enlisted men, and several Nez Perce scouts. Halfway to their destination, Steptoe and his troops realized their route took them into Coeur D'Alene tribal lands—an action in direct conflict of the Indian Treaty of 1855. On May 16, 1858 the tribes and military met and a battle ensued, lasting until the afternoon of the 17th." (sos.wa.gov)
Accounts differ on how Col. Steptoe escaped the gathered Coeur D'Alenes, Yakimas, Spokanes, and more with losses of just 10 men and 30 horses. But the long term winners are clear enough, as the tribes were removed from the area with the 1871 Indian Appropriations Act, and Rosalia founded one year later. Today Rosalia, 96.5% white and 0.4% Native American in the last census, marks the event with their annual Battle Days celebration.
As the railroads and grain warehouses went up in the 1880s, Rosalia grew to almost a thousand residents, with two bars in town by the 1890s, a state that appears to have remained through most of the town's history until 2007, when the Longhorn Cafe burned down and left the Brass Rail as the only bar ever since. Most the businesses have died out in Rosalia, as it evolved into a bedroom community of Spokane and the other larger cities around it.
I do not know how old the Brass Rail is, nor the history of the 1905 building in which it sits. Today it is a lively bar and restaurant, with classic diner food, karaoke, darts, and trivia nights. It's a quite comfortable setting with conestoga wagon wheel chandeliers and a pleasantly random collection of bric-a-brac -- although at some point someone made some regretable decisions with a bucket of white paint, ranging from the minor abuses of painting random bricks to the epic tragedy of coating the antique Brunswick bar in the stuff. But it remains a good stop on an eastern Washington roadtrip.
This makes me want to cry ...

#2622 - Rialto Tavern, St. John, WA - 9/13/2014
The Rialto Tavern, St. John, WA
The town of St. John, Washington, is located in eastern Washington, about 10 miles from the Idaho border, and along Highway 23 between Steptoe and Sprague. The Railto Tavern is the only bar in the town of about 500 residents, and one of two restaurants. It is inside an red brick building on Front Street, as the highway becomes, with a modest sign attached to the corrugated tin awning. I was told that it has been here since the 30s and been named the "Rialto" for at least 40 years. Ward and Kathy Pierce recently ran it for about 20 years, through this visit, before retiring, and Ward passed away in Dec. 2016. Kathy was our bartender for this visit, and she served up dive-style drinks and the most massive club sandwich I've ever seen -- the "Wardo's Sub."
The Rialto is open for family dining until 6pm, and from the front door you can walk through the brighter diner portion in front to the more woody, dark, and bar-like rear portion. There you have more typical small town tavern decor -- hunting trophies, photos of local sports teams, and corporate beer paraphernalia, along with the sort of unique touches that mark a fine dive. For example there's an old wooden cabinet decorated with a mid-century nude pin-up and an index card listing the elevations of nearby communities. It gives every indicaiton of just the sort of community space you'd want in a small town like St. John.

#2621 - Sonny's Tavern, Washtucna, WA - 9/12/2014
Sonny's Tavern, Washtucna, WA
There's not a whole lot more to the town of Washtucna, Washington than Sonny's Tavern -- and what else there is can be listed on one sign as you enter town. The population is a little under 200 and slowly trending downward, as in so many other small, agricultural towns. But having such a small population doesn't mean that they don't have conflicts now and then, and bartender Nancy and local Michael talked about the night that Ronnie -- who may have had Altheimers or maybe not -- got crazy drunk and attacked her trying to twist her neck. She fell on Ronnie's gun, and after that the neighbors soon took his guns away -- at least for a spell. Later Ronnie got into an argument with his neighbor Larry Turner, soon returning in his car to Larry's house, accusing him of stealing his dog, and firing his shotgun at him. Larry returned fire with three shots from his .357 revolver and Ronnie was dead.
Inside Sonny's the scene is bright -- too brightly lit for a bar, in my view, but the owners have focused on creating a family restaurant atmosphere. Sonny's dates back to 1964, although it was briefly Frank's Tavern a few years ago before restoring the name. One of the highlights of the entire area is the broasted chicken at Sonny's. We didn't have dinner in this visit, but both the locals and tourists rave about it. They probably don't rave about the cocktails -- the drink choices are pretty limited -- but like I said, the owners have focused on the family restaurant portion of the business, and anyway, it's the only bar in town.
Washtucna, Washington
Down the road there's a house that's plainly been victimized too many times by theft. The chain link fence around the large yard now features several plywood signs that make it clear that Ronnie was not the only local who's ready to take justice into his own hands if he thinks someone is stealing from him. Just up Main Street from Sonny's there are several nice old buildings. Some of them seem to be holding up well, like the old, stone Bank of Whitman building, but many more are faded and crumbling -- as empty as the large grain silo on the edge to town. As for Sonny's, it is open until 8pm weeknights and 10pm on weekends, and after that, it's pretty much lights out in Washtucna.

#2620 - Rawhide Bar N Grill, Starbuck, WA - 9/12/2014
Rawhide Bar N Grill, Starbuck, WA
Just 15 miles from Palouse Falls in the southeast of Washington State is the town of Starbuck, population about 130, not far from Tucannon, Riparia and Joso, and no relation to the coffee corporation. The town was named after a railroad executive, and has basically been dwindling downward ever since around the turn of the century (that is, the turn of the last century). The traffic through down started dropping off in 1914 when the Lyons Ferry Bridge was built over the Snake River. In 1919 the town bank failed, and in 1956 the high school shut down. But from February 2011 to November 2015 there was one heck of a good old country honky tonk in town.
Mary Jo and Dan Sanderlin moved here from Colorado after visiting Starbuck to visit Dan's mom at her tackle shop. Mary Jo once ran the Sand Bar in Moses Lake, and the couple moved from jobs at a waste water treatment plant in Kalispell Montana, to a fish ladder in Thompson Falls, to laying pipe in Rifle, Colorado. They heard of a big empty building in town and decided to sell their ATVs to fund converting it into the Rawhide Bar N Grill. (Owner comments in Yelp)
They are super friendly people and their joint was a lot of fun while it lasted. They had buckets of beer, lots of country dancing, and steaks rolling in off the barbecue grill. They had poker games, horse shoes outside, and an annual Redneck Games. It seemed like the perfect rural stop in a tiny, out of the way town, and it's sad to see it go.

There is NO Holiday Inn in Downtown Jacksonville. The Crowne Plaza, Omni and Hyatt are all 3.5* on PL. The Radisson Riverwalk is a 3*. There is also a brand new Homewood Suites and Hilton Garden Inn (most likely 3*'s each) that just opened in priceline's DT zone. Only the Hyatt and Omni are on the north side of the river. Everything else I mention is on the south side of the river. With priceline there is no way to guarantee which side of the river you will get. There is a very scarey Super 8 that is also DT and I would guess that's the 2* you see on HW. The Homewood and Hilton are also on the edge of a bad neighborhood (IMO) and I personally wouldn't bid for anything but a 3.5* in Downtown Jacksonville.
runNgun replied to ilander's topic in How does this Board work?
according to a recent package search the Radisson Worldgate in the WDW zone has been downgraded to a 2.5* Amen.
There are also Corporate Revenue Managers who can have multiple hotels (same and or different brands) to control in one city/area or even a state/region.

I was searching through some of the archives and came across my sleep deprived blog posts. As working parents, we are in a shortage of sleep most of the time. I say parents because both me and the hubs struggle with the lack of sleep.
Balance was far from the way I would have described the craze last week. It was the first week of the quarter at work. We had many deliverables that came to deadline at the same time. At home, it was even more busy, but I was able to squeeze in an overnight with my hubby and a much needed break!

I was born in a small island where the nature is special, Gran Canaria. When I was a child, I felt that I wasn't like the rest. I spent my childhood around music and many films and books.
When I grew up, I focused my vision in other countries and I found love in different cultures like British, American, Japanese, Korean, etc. Once time I read that "it's no always necessary to be strong, but to feel strong", and because of that, I consider myself a very rebel, adventuress and creative person.

Looks brilliant. Was the BX a "random" sighting? LG.
Ray, what are your plans for the journey back. Was thinking if you are travelling near me, could join you for a bit of a convoy, even if just a short one?!
Just a quick update.... I. Sorry I haven't posted much... after Matthew left I became quite poorly in Spain. A course of anti biotic was supposed to clear up a chest infection which seemed to linger, I decided to overnight ferry from Santander to Portsmouth as I really didn't have the energy to travel through France. We broke the journey with a 2 night stop in a nice seaside town called Stiges were the XM was broken into and most of our belongings were stolen. Auto glass Spain carried out a free plexiglass repair which allowed us to continue home. We arrived in Santander and boarded the ferry home.
The following day I become unwell again and spent most of the day in the ships medibay. Upon arrival at Portsmouth I was taken to Queen Alexander hospital were I spent 2 nights before begging to go home, I was then taken by XM to my local hospital were they've finally told me I have legionnaires disease. I'm glad to be home and with family. I'm doing ok and in the best possible care.
So..... the XM....3924 miles, trouble free mechanically, cruised impeccably on the motorways. Only minor niggles, wiper arms loose, Earth points left off, broken rear speaker.
5 fill ups....averaged 784.8 miles per tank. A LOT of the roads we travelled were toll and empty. We were able to cover a lot of miles in good time.
The best part of the trip...... not 1 hold up on the M6 yesterday.
raynoon wrote: they've finally told me I have legionnaires disease.
Just what you needed...Unclean aircon, or showers in water stored too cool is what promoted legionella.
Very sorry to hear you have been so unwell Ray. Disappointing end to an epic trip. Glad you are home safe and sound and being looked after now though.
Pity about the car being broken into. Hopefully it's easily fixed and not a quaterlight they smashed.
Sorry to hear of your troubles, Ray, but glad you've made it home safe and sound. Well done for a marathon journey completed against the odds.
It was very good to hear you made it home safely Ray and in the circumstances that sounds like a good decision to travel back via Santander and Portsmouth. The illness and damage to your car and lost belongings must have been really distressing and annoying but you also had many brilliant experiences! I feel so fortunate I managed to meet up for that short period near Benidorm and many thanks again! The performance of the XM was certainly impressive and especially the distance of nearly 4,000 miles covered. I wondered if you also managed to visit Gibraltar and I am guessing not with you being unwell. Please do keep us posted on your further exploits and treatment. With regards, Matthew T.


Which teams were the longest long shots, based on tournament seeds, to meet in an NCAA championship game?
The Wildcats and Huskies, with a combined seed total of 15, have played their way into that distinction. UConn is the first No. 7 seed to play for an NCAA title since the seeding process began with the 1979 tournament. Kentucky can join Villanova, the 1985 champion, as the only No. 8 seeds to win a championship. No team seeded higher than Villanova has won an NCAA title.
How surprising is this title-game matchup of power programs experiencing also-ran seasons before catching fire in March Madness? Consider: Among the 11.01 million brackets in ESPN's tournament challenge, only .00016 of 1 percent (1,780) had Kentucky facing UConn in the title game.
According to Las Vegas oddsmakers, Kentucky began the tournament with 40-1 odds to cut down the nets at AT&T Stadium, the same venue where the Wildcats fell to Baylor 67-62 in a Dec. 6 contest. UConn was given 100-1 odds.
Yet both schools arrive with a 50-50 shot to collect another national title. Kentucky has won eight. UConn has won three. That is quite a twist from last season, when neither school made the NCAA's 68-team bracket.
Kentucky coach John Calipari spent Sunday downplaying the significance of the less-than-stellar seeds that have served to motivate players on both teams.
Because of that starting point, Calipari said both schools "had one more hard game than some of the other teams had" in advancing through the tournament bracket. But both teams have thrived while setting a precedent unseen in this tournament in 38 years. Monday's matchup marks the first time since 1966 that two teams will play for an NCAA title after both failed to make the tournament the previous season.
The opportunity intrigues UConn guard Shabazz Napier, one of three seniors who were part of the program when the Huskies won the 2011 national title.
Both teams have history on their side. UConn is 3-0 in NCAA championship games, including title-clinching triumphs in Houston (2011) and San Antonio (2004). The Huskies could complete a Texas Trifecta with a victory in Arlington.
Kentucky, 8-3 in NCAA championship games, has a Texas Trio working in its favor. Three of the Wildcats' five freshmen starters played high school basketball in the Lone Star State (forward Julius Randle, guards Aaron and Andrew Harrison). Randle, a Dallas native, called it "just amazing" to have an opportunity to claim an NCAA title in front of family and friends in his home state.
A Kentucky triumph also would underscore the surprise nature of this title run. An NCAA champion must win six consecutive tournament games. Kentucky's longest winning streak this season is five. But that streak is active. So, too, is the hunger of UConn's seniors to bookend their college careers with another NCAA title in Texas.
In Monday's title game, only one thing is certain. A team that has experienced its share of down moments will enjoy college basketball's ultimate high: cutting the nets as a national champion.
Despite their programs' pedigrees, Kentucky and Connecticut will combine Monday for the highest seed total since the tournament seeding process began in 1979.
