Sat: 8am-7pm, Sun: 8am-3pm, Tue-Fri: 7am-7pm, Mon: 7am-5pm
Neighborhoods: Central, Greenway/ Upper Kirby
Inconspicuous little cafe and bakery in a strip center near West U with a extensive breakfast and lunch menu, catering services and cakes, pastries and desserts galore. Reasonably priced and my Mexicana sandwich was delicious.
Dream wedding – It was my wedding this past weekend and I was surprised when i saw the cake!! I heard at a party about Rustika and when i tried the cake, i fell in love. i went in for a tasting appointment and ended up buying the cake right on the spot. It was a reasonable price and the wedding cake turned out perfect!!!!!! and of course it tasted even better.
WOW! – A friend recommended this bakery to me so I decided to give it a try. I instantly fell in love when I walked in. The decoration is bright and well done but the first thing that caught my eye were the cookies and cakes. They are sitting right next to you when you walk in and you cant help but drool over them. I ordered one of their authentic Mexican breakfasts (Migas espanola) at around 5PM and was very excited as they serve breakfast all day. I couldn't help but get a slice of their white chocolate raspberry cake. Possibly the BEST cake I have ever tasted.
If anyone is in the area I strongly recommend that they try this bakery. Excellent food as well as baked goods.
Horrible Manager and worst cake decoration – NEVER EVER ORDERING A CAKE FROM THEM AGAIN!
When I went to pick up the cake I was SHOCKED!!!!
It looked NOTHING like the picture I gave them, which the manager was holding in his hand since I left it with them. It was like a two year old made a cake with his mom. When I spoke with the manager he was defensive and SO RUDE! I was in tears because this cake was to be the highlight of the baby shower and I was pointing to the picture which the manager held in his hand and asked him if the cake looked anything like that and he had the nerve to say
" well we can do that for you if you wait another hour but it will cost you money". WTH!!!! I was like it was never about the money, your people agreed to make me a cake to the picture and assured me and the actual product looks like crap. And since they don't refund money he gave me a $25 gift card. The cake was $180.
The lady who took the order was professional and understanding, she took my order and discussed the decoration of the cake and wrote in details and I even gave a picture of what the cake should look like and she assured me with a smile that it will be made the EXACT same way. And I even told her that the price was not an issue as long as the cake was exactly to the design.
Horrible Birthday Cake – Ordered a cake for my son's first birthday. The order was supposed to include a smaller cake. The total of the 2 cakes was $325. When we went to pick-up the cake, the smaller cake was not made. Only offered a $15 refund. The cake looked good but tasted horrible. IMHO, there are much better bakeries in Houston.
Unique Place with GREAT Food/Desserts – I found out about Rustika through a good friend of mine. The first time I walked in I went straight for the desserts. They have an incredible selection of cookies and cakes. I looked through their picture albums and they also make some beautiful cakes! I am just waiting for an occasion to order one. I came for lunch and ordered their migas. They were delicious!!!!! They said that breakfast is served all day which is greaatt because I LOVE breakfast but never have time to make it at breakfast time. I definitely recommend this place! But beware it is impossible to stay away from their selection of sweets!!!
Houston's IDK Dirtiest Bakery/breakfast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! – This place is DIRTY serioiusly someone please tell them to clean the glass on their pastier case omg soo gross and their silver ware was soo gross!! I will NEVER go back just filthy!! If you want a REAL BAKERY with REAL pastiers try 3 Brothers now thats truelly amazing.... All the people commenting on here about this place obviously has never had GREAT pastiers!!!!
Strawberry Cream Cake is amazing! – I love Rustika! Every time I come in town I go and get the delicious empanadas! Also I order the strawberry cream cake for any and every event! It is the best cake I have ever had. I love all of the food at this bakery, and I also love how the staff is very friendly and will really work with you to get what you want. I have been in multiple times and most of the staff knows me by name and everyone is so helpful! I will definitely be going back to Rustika every time I come to town and will always go to them for important events!
Best Bakery! – Never been to a better bakery in my life. I herd about this place from a friend so I came in one afternoon for a quick pastry. Loved It! I recommended my brother to buy his wedding cake here and the cake was wonderful. Everyone asked about the cake and where he had got it. I was proud to be the one to answer that question since it was my idea. The wedding was a hit by the way. Congrats Bro! I am defiantly getting my wedding cake here no matter what the fiancé says.
Ruined Wedding Cake – My husband and I ordered our wedding cake from Rustika and were VERY disappointed. We ordered a 3 tier Italian cream cake and got a 3 tier red velvet cake instead. They also got the color wrong when a color sample was given to them. We tried to contact them and never got a response so we disputed the charge with our credit card company for a small refund. The bakery told the credit card company that a refund could only be given if the cake was returned. It makes no sense for them to expect someone to return their only wedding cake on the day of the wedding. Horrible customer service! DO NOT GET YOUR WEDDING CAKES FROM HERE!!
Rustika Cafe & Bakery – On June 10th 2010, I visited Rustika Cafe to order my 40th birthday cake. Description was to be lavender fondant over the cake, with deep purple stripes and black stripes like a present and in between the purple stripes pink stripes thinner. A number 40 in the middle and lil dots and what not for decoration. Italian Cream Cake. Costing me $175.00. Upon picking up the cake on and for July 10th 2010. Not even two miles down the road and the 4 of the 40 fondant broke. After cutting into the cake, the fondant was extremely difficult to cut through and into. The cake was very dry, the bottom of both 12in round cakes were burnt, the fondant was extremely thick, and to thick to even eat, the buttercream on the cake had almost NO flavor and it was not decorated to specification.
On June 12th my boyfriend took in what was left over, HALF of the cake. he explained in full detail of everything that was wrong, and proceeded to state, this will be a grave review over all the review websites. The co-ownder and wife of the owner, just looked at my boyfriend and stared. Did NOT even offer a credit, a refund, half credit for the half NOT eatten or even an appology. I am running into a lot of businesses that DO NOT practice what once used to be Standard Business Practices. This place may be good for the cafe, I would not know, but as for as professionally done cakes, THIS is a DON'T GO TO Place.

A Christmas Carol Plays The Hubbard Stage, Opens 11/20
Houston's seasonal favorite described by the Houston Press as having "Spectacular London sets ... the inimitable Dickens' tale - spiced with the usual fog and an unusual twist on the ghosts past, present and future." A Christmas Carol - A Ghost Story of Christmas returns this year with a re-telling of Charles Dickens' classic story, which follows Ebenezer Scrooge's journey with the three ghostly spirits that visit him on Christmas Eve. A Christmas Carol instills a powerful message about redemption and the spirit of the holiday season. Recommended for general audiences, children six and older.
This year, Alley Associate Director James Black directs this colorful, comical, and music-filled telling of Charles Dickens' "ghostly little book." Alley Theatre Artist Jeffrey Bean reprises his role as Ebenezer Scrooge and David Rainey assumes the roles of Mrs. Dilber and Jacob Marley. The Alley Theatre began producing an annual production of A Christmas Carol in 1988. Michael Wilson's adaptation is an imaginative re-telling of the classic story. In 1990, Wilson - in his first directing project for the Alley - adapted and directed a version of the story that became a national standout for its dancing apparitions and Wizard of Oz like storyline. Since its inception, the production has developed into a crowd-pleasing holiday favorite, delighting more than 34,000 individuals last holiday season. Dickens' classic tale is a heart-warming and bone-chilling story for audiences of all ages. Through encounters with ghosts - including his late business partner Jacob Marley - Scrooge learns what ill fate lies in store for him if he continues on his greedy and heartless course. An amazing story and an unforgettable theatrical experience, A Christmas Carol - A Ghost Story of Christmas fills audiences with warm sentiments of the holiday season.
In this production, the cast plays more than 30 characters. The cast features Jeffrey Bean as Ebenezer Scrooge, James Belcher as Bert/Spirit of Christmas Present, Elizabeth Bunch as Mrs. Fezziwig/Mrs. Cratchit, Dylan Godwin as Mr. Marvel, Paul Hope as Second Solicitor/Mr. Fezziwig, Chris Hutchison as Bob Cratchit, John Johnston as 18th Century Apparition/Dick Wilkins/Mr. Topper, Charles Krohn as Undertaker/Old Joe, Julia Krohn as Mary Pidgeon/Spirit of Christmas Past, Melissa Pritchett as Mary Stuart Apparition/Fred's Sister-in-Law, David Rainey as Mrs. Dilber/Jacob Marley, John Tyson as First Solicitor/Fiddler, Bree Welch as Belle/Fred's Wife and Adam Von Wagoner as Fred/Scrooge at Twenty-One, among others.
A Christmas Carol - A Ghost Story of Christmas will feature Tony Award-winning scenic designer Tony Straiges (Alley's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?) with costumes by Alejo Vietti (Alley's Pygmalion, August: Osage County, Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps). Lighting is designed by Rui Rita (Alley's Dividing the Estate, Pygmalion, Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps), and original music composed by John Gromada (Alley's Dividing the Estate, Ether Dome, Our Town).
A Christmas Carol - A Ghost Story of Christmas, adapted and originally directed by Michael Wilson, from the story by Charles Dickens, directed by Alley Associate Director James Black, begins previews Friday, November 18, opens Sunday, November 20 and runs through Tuesday, December 27.

Max & the Magic Marker, from Press Play, drops us gently into a platforming world drawn directly from a child's imagination. After receiving a strange delivery of a very special marker, young Max begins blissfully (and ignorantly) coloring as many young boys do, of pirates and spaceships and monsters. Unfortunately, this enchanted marker makes several of Max's more dangerous doodles come to life. Undaunted, Max draws himself into the thick of things, and thus our artistic adventure begins.
Players will find themselves quickly plopped into a relatively simplistic side-scrolling platformer with one fresh twist--the titular Marker. Besides the usual running and jumping, players also have at their command this mystical drawing device, useful for manipulating the world and solving various puzzles. The ink from the marker (controlled by the mouse) has real substance in Max's worlds, allowing players to construct ramps, stairs, and bridges as needed. As the levels progress and the difficulty increases, players will need to become much more creative with their drawings, etching out more complex constructive art. Clever use of physics, simple machines, and thinking out of the box quickly become necessity.
To make things a bit more difficult, Max is limited in the amount of ink his marker possesses. Max collects ink as part of his platforming capers, but it takes some forethought to put the finite amounts to work as needed. To make matters more difficult, at each checkpoint Max's nemesis (a giant purple monster-blob) appears, stealing all the hard-earned ink and starting Max back at scratch. I tended to find this a bit annoying, but I imagine this already-simple game would be made much too easy without these limitations.
For those (like me) with severe artistic deficiency, players are able to pause the game at any time and draw (and erase) as necessary before restarting the action. Not only does this allow players such as myself an actual chance to wedge those platforms into place, it also can itself be integral to some of the puzzle solutions. Several times I had to leap off a cliff into seeming nothingness, before I could see exactly what was needed to pass to the next step. These leaps would be suicidal without the magical pause.
As I have said before, the game itself is quite simple. The platforming aspects are incredibly mundane, and would be quite boring without the addition of the Magic Marker. I found the controls to be a bit sluggish for my tastes, and a few times became frustrated at the lack of fine control. The actual drawing controls are a bit better than Max's movement, however, and the pause feature is a major saving grace. Also spread about the various levels are a handful of enemies, but these are for the most part a joke. Easily dispatched with a heavy bit of ink dropped on their heads, most of the bland little purple blobs do nothing more than annoy. For those trying to beat the time trials, I suppose they could pose more of a challenge, but for those just casually playing through they're laughable.
The game looks good, seemingly pulled right out of a child's mind. The various levels are solid, if short, and the path to the end gate is full of charm. The musical score is decent, but if players spend too much time with a given level it can quickly become repetitive. Granted, players won't be spending a whole lot of time with the title, as the entire thing can be easily completed in an extended afternoon. That is, provided players aren't frustrated with the occasional crash and glitch. I ran into a few repeatable troubles on my plays, usually crashes to desktop or severe camera malfunctions, both requiring me to re-load the game and completely begin the level anew. It is for this reason alone (along with the fact that any game that crashes on me twice in an hour gets an extended time-out) that I didn't polish this little title off in a single weekend.
All in all, Max & the Magic Marker is a pleasant diversion for a few hours. It's cute and simple enough for the younger set to enjoy, and with the added difficulty of some time trials and item-collection goals, older players can find a brief bit of challenge as well. If it weren't for the occasional hiccup and crash tarnishing my thoughts, I would easily recommend this to anyone looking for a pleasant way of burning an afternoon.

A demolition permit is required to demolish any building that required a building permit. Structures exempt from a building permit to construct do not require a permit for demolition. Structures that should have been constructed under permit, but were built without benefit of a permit, will require a demolition permit for removal.
A demolition permit is issued when the entire building is being demolished. The removal of a portion of a building is considered an alteration to that structure, and is usually reviewed and permitted as part of a larger project, not as a stand-alone permit. For more information about determining if your project is a demolition, alteration/remodel, or addition, please visit the Development Services Center.
Each structure removed requires a separate permit. For example, a detached garage and house on the same property will require two separate demolition permits.
A separate demolition permit is required even when a permit is being issued simultaneously to construct a new building in its place.
Erosion control inspections are required for each permit issued. Your permit will be reviewed under various code provisions, including Chapter 24.55 of the Portland Zoning Code. View more information on building codes.
It is recommended to visit or call the Planning and Zoning staff (503) 823-7526 and Buildings staff (503) 823-7310 at the Development Services Center early in the planning of your project.
The following information must be submitted when applying for a demolition permit. Since every project is unique, there may be some situations where you will be asked to provide additional information.
Erosion control plan (may be a part of the site plan) or completed simple site erosion control form, if the project will result in ground disturbing activity. Note: Erosion control measures shall be installed, even when a simple site erosion control form has been accepted.
SITE PLAN (Scale site plans to most appropriate scale, e.g. 1"= 10' or 1/4"= 1')
After you pay intake fees, your project will be "under review". Plan reviewers from the Bureau of Development Services representing fire life safety and structural disciplines, Parks Bureau, Office of Transportation, Bureau of Environmental Services, Water Bureau and Fire Bureau will all participate in the review of your plans.
The bureaus/review groups that will check a typical conversion project are:
The yellow inspection card lists all the inspections you will likely need during your construction project, and what work needs to be done first.
Once your building permit is issued, erosion control measures must be installed, prior to beginning any further ground disturbing activities.

Facebook's $1 billion acquisition of Instagram is part of a land grab for mobile Internet users—and with the explosion of smart phones, that land grab is all about photo sharing.
How times have changed since Yahoo bought Flickr for $35 million back in 2005. Thanks to the fact that virtually everyone carries a camera in their pockets, photo sharing is the new way people communicate. And with Internet giants fighting to own the space where users spend their time, valuations are going through the roof.
Why did Facebook shell out $1 billion for Instagram?
It wants to keep Instagram's 30 million iPhone and 1 million plus Android users from leaving its platform. And perhaps more importantly, it wants to keep mobile users from leaving for Google and Apple . Wedbush Securities Managing Director Michael Pachter says "It's clear that Instagram's technology is superior and its growth posted both a threat and an opportunity to Facebook."
So who else is playing in this photo-sharing land grab?
Just this morning Autodesk announced a partnership with Photobucket, which calls itself "the world's leading dedicated photo and video sharing service with over 100 million registered users. Now Photobucket users will be able to use Pilxr photo editing tools, to both correct photos and personalize them with the kind of effects, overlays and borders Instagram offers.
Meanwhile Shutterfly has agreed to buy Kodak's online photo servicesfor $23.8 million. Kodak Gallery, which allows users to store, share, and print images, has more than 75 million users. It's most direct competitor is Snapfish, which is owned by HP , and boasts more than 90 million members in over 20 countries.
And then there's Google, which owns Picassa and social sharing service Google Plus. Wedbush's Pachter says: "There was the potential for Google to buy Instagram and make its app work only with Google+, which would have had the potential to steal 30 million customers away from Facebook. Buying Instagram ensured that all 30 million (or whatever portion were already Facebook users) remained faithful, and allows Facebook to integrate Instagram and offer it to its other 800 million users." And don't forget about Apple's iPhoto, which allows users to view and share photos. Instagram's user-base is mostly iPhone users—more than 30 million of them.
So what's the next Instagram?
The next $1 billion acquisition is likely to also be about sharing. Private company expert Lou Kerner says "as new mobile and social companies gain rapid traction, we are still in the early stages of land grabs." Investors should keep an eye on Tumblr, which is second only to Facebook in terms of the amount of time spent using the service. The personal blogging site has topped 20 billion posts on 50 million blogs, with more than 21 million unique visitors in February. Tumblr's users skew younger, and buzz in Silicon Valley is that teenagers are spending more time on Tumblr and less on Facebook. Another potential acquisition? Pinterest, which grew to 10 million users faster than any other website, and is estimated to have topped 20 million monthly unique users in March.
Who are potential buyers?
Google, Microsoft and Apple all have plenty of cash. And while Facebook will have plenty of cash after its IPO, CEO Mark Zuckerbergsays he doesn't plan many more acquisitions of this size. One thing's for sure. Instagram's sky high valuation – remember it doesn't have any business model—raises expected price tags in the startup space.

I love the Daily Mail. It may be the only newspaper in the world that tells the truth about the catastrophe of the bounty that has been handed to the "takers" in this country.The Demonrat party is not the party of Santa Claus, they are the party of bribery, voter fraud, economic and social destruction, and ultimately the death of America as we knew it.This election had devastating consequences for 50% of the country and the Left is still crowing about their victory.

How can you make fiscal responsibility a campaign issue when a major voting block of the democrats have no concept of it?Many Obama voters "buy" a car with the understanding that at some point, it will be repossessed for lack of payment. As one of those remarked: "They just as well repossess a Lincoln as a Chevrolet".Responsible Americans need to understand that there are two very polar value systems involved in our political process now.

March 11, 2013
A University of Virginia graduate student says he wants to the face to represent students on Charlottesville City Council, and he plans to file paperwork to become a candidate in the Democratic primary this June.
Adam Lees was born and raised in Florida but came to Virginia in 2007 to attend Hampden-Sydney College.
"I knew I wanted to come to Virginia," Lees said. "It's been in my blood too long."
Sitting in a downtown coffee shop Monday afternoon, the 24-year-old graduate student has his eyes on an even bigger seat: Charlottesville City Council.
"There is this space that needs to be filled between the city, between the residents and between the students," Lees said.
"They are a population that needs representation, so we welcome a student choosing to run in the primary," said Linda Seaman, co-chair of the Charlottesville Democratic Party.
Lees is in the process of filling out paperwork to run in the Democratic primary, scheduled for June 11. From talking to students and being a student, he's taken an interest on issues like towing, parking and noise.
"It started this impression of mine that town-gown relations here were really poor, which surprised me a lot," Lees said.
As his campaign starts to come into focus, Lees is working on wrapping up his thesis. He'll graduate from UVa. this May with a master's degree in international relations, and he hopes to pursue his doctoral degree there, as well.
"Graduate school is a major imposition, but by the same token, all the councilors have jobs of their own," Lees said of handling the workload that comes with being a councilor. "Whatever I need to do to do that successfully, I will make sure I have room."
"It will help students be well represented," Seaman said. "They are a major force in this community."
Democrats welcome his fresh ideas, and Lees said he's in it for the long haul.
"There's nothing about Charlottesville that stands out that I absolutely detest that would drive me away," Lees said. "This is where I could see staying for the rest of my life."
At the very least, Lees said if he encourages just one fellow student to cast a vote in a local election, his campaign would be worth it.
Lees said he's still collecting signatures. He's aiming to get the 125 he needs by Sunday so he can file all the paperwork together on Monday.

New Café Now Open At The Clark Art Institute
For Immediate Release
June 22, 2001
WILLIAMSTOWN, MA, (June 22, 2001) - Visitors to the Clark Art Institute's summer exhibition Impression: Painting Quickly in France, 1860-1890 also have the opportunity to sample the Clark's new café, operated by CulinArt Inc. of Lake Success, New York. CulinArt provides two dining options at the Clark. An à la carte counter, located in the introductory gallery to Impression, offers snacks, beverages, and "grab and go" sandwiches and salads during gallery hours, daily 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. plus Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays until 7 p.m. Visitors choosing this option may eat indoors or take their selections outside for a picnic on the Clark's grounds which include picnic tables and a tented seating area. Those seeking a more formal dining experience may choose the Café, offering table service for lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily throughout the summer. Both the café and à la carte are open to everyone, including visitors not planning on entering the galleries.
"I am pleased to welcome CulinArt and am confident that the variety of options available will suit our many visitors, tourists and local residents alike," said Clark director Michael Conforti. "With their many years of experience providing food service for museums and other institutions, CulinArt is a valuable addition to our expanded visitor services."
CulinArt provides food service at more than 100 locations in the Northeast, including the Brooklyn Museum of Art and the Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk, Connecticut. In addition to their museum facilities CulinArt has numerous business and industry, higher education, and amusement clients. Site manager at the Clark is John Rossi, who brings 15 years of experience running food service at country clubs on Long Island. Chef Drew Nicastro of Williamstown will head the kitchen at the Clark café; Nicastro has been chef at several local restaurants.
"I have so enjoyed working with the Clark to get the new café ready for the summer crowds," said Rossi. "In our first week we have already been quite busy and our patrons are very enthusiastic about the food and of course about the museum. I look forward to a successful season."
The Café menu features salads, such as chilled roast chicken breast with artichokes and nicoise olives over garden greens, and fresh North Atlantic salmon with shaved fennel bulbs and red bliss potatoes over mesclun greens. Sandwich selections include freshly roasted turkey with sharp cheddar and tart green apples and Mediterranean tuna salad with radishes and romaine hearts. Vegetarians may choose fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and sweet basil on parmesan focaccia. The Café also serves a variety of desserts, soft drinks, and wine by the glass. Menu prices for entrées range from $9 to $13.
The "grab and go" menu includes Caesar salads, pan banat (tuna salad with capers and roasted red peppers on a crusty roll) and a black forest ham and brie wrap. Fruit, cookies, brownies, and hot and cold beverages are also available. Salad and sandwich prices range from $7 to $9.
The Clark Café will operate on its current schedule throughout the run of Impression: Painting Quickly in France, 1860-1890, which is on view through September 9. CulinArt plans to provide some form of food service to Clark visitors year-round.
The Clark is the only North American venue for Impression, which features nearly 80 paintings by Manet, Monet, Morisot, Pissarro, Sisley, Renoir, Degas, and Van Gogh. The exhibition explores those aspects of Impressionism-spontaneity and immediacy-that made the movement so radical in it's day. Admission to Impression is $10 for adults, free for children and students. Tickets are available at the Clark, by telephone at 1-866-THE CLARK (1-866-843-2527), or on-line at www.clarkart.edu/exhibitions/paintingquickly/. Tickets for Impression include admission to the Clark's own collection of French Impressionist paintings, Old Master and American paintings, English silver, and more.
The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown. Through September 9 the galleries, café, and museum shop are open daily 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with extended hours Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays until 7 p.m.

So sign me up …
Maybe. Or not.
As a life-long Southerner, journalist and dyed-in-the-wool believer in the biblical promise of equal rights and racial harmony, you'd think somewhere along the line I'd have happened upon one of these public rallies. My entire life has been spent in three Deep South states in which the Klan has been historically prominent: Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi. I've been a journalist for a quarter-century.
Yet, strangely, I've never covered a Klan rally. Never seen a white sheet, a burning cross or anyone yelling "White Power!" from the courthouse steps. If you asked me to name a Klan member, I couldn't — though the Southern Poverty Law Center says there is an active Klan chapter, the United Klans of America, in Anniston.
Which means, if you trust the SPLC, the fellow next to you in the grocery-store checkout line could be a Klanner.
Lucky us.
The genesis of this Klan discussion is occurring up in Memphis, where politicians and residents have gotten crosswise over the renaming of three city parks. One was named (Nathan Bedford) Forrest Park, which contains a massive statue of Forrest riding his horse and is the site of the former KKK member's grave. Another was named Confederate Park. A third was named Jefferson Davis Park.
Was, that is.
The short version of a long story is that the council hurriedly replaced the Confederate names with generic, non-controversial labels earlier this year to circumvent impending legislation from the Tennessee Statehouse that would prevent it. As you can expect, the council's decision has kicked up a firestorm of controversy that's pitted councilmen, the mayor (who's black), the police chief (who's black), historians (some sympathetic to Forrest, others not) and staunch defenders of Southern, neoconfederate heritage against each other.
In other words, it's a darned mess.
As if on cue, the Klan requested, and received, a city permit allowing a public demonstration on March 30. (That's a Saturday; the following Sunday morning, we celebrate the risen Christ.) The police chief has, naturally, laid down the law: no Klan masks and no guns — not even with a legal permit. The city attorney has admitted that denying the Klan a permit would create an expensive and prolonged legal battle.
Thus, Memphis is preparing for one heck of a pre-Easter Saturday.
Oh, and one other thing:
A Klan rally in 1998 at the county courthouse in Memphis left scars on the Bluff City. A permitted KKK protest of the Martin Luther King Jr. national holiday grew violent; police used tear gas against anti-Klan protestors and vandalism. More than 20 people were taken into custody.
This time, Police Chief Toney Armstrong told the Memphis Commercial Appeal, "I honestly believe that you're going to see more police officers than participants."
Good idea.
The safe bet is that the Klan's Memphis rally will be much ado about nothing; Klansmen will show up, march, state their cause and disperse. Those opposed to the Klan will do the same. And nothing violent or truly newsworthy will happen. You can assume that, given the possibilities and the chief's promise, the Memphis police will have that city's downtown turned into an armed camp.
The modern-day Klan, after all, isn't the Klan of yesteryear.
"Since the 1970s the Klan has been greatly weakened by internal conflicts, court cases, a seemingly endless series of splits and government infiltration," the SPLC says. "While some factions have preserved an openly racist and militant approach, others have tried to enter the mainstream, cloaking their racism as mere 'civil rights for whites.' Today, the Center estimates that there are between 5,000 and 8,000 Klan members (nationwide), split among dozens of different — and often warring — organizations that use the Klan name."
Nevertheless, for a Southern journalist who enjoys learning — if not experiencing — all sides of our region's unique DNA, attending a publicized Klan rally in a cornerstone city of the civil rights movement has an odd appeal. Even if destabilized and diluted, the Klan remains a noteworthy component of the nation's struggle to reach lasting racial harmony. That's the PC version.
If you prefer something cruder, heed the words of the late, great Southern writer Shelby Foote, who wrote, among other delicacies, that the Klan was "the scum who have degraded the Confederate flag, converting it from a symbol of honor into a banner of shame, covered it with obscenities like a roadhouse men's room wall."
Scum. That single word pretty well sums it up, don't 'ya think?

Valpo Extends Win Streak To Five After Defeating Chicago State
Monday, February 07, 2005Valparaiso, Ind. - Ron Howard scored 21 points and grabbed a career-high eight rebounds as Valpo defeated Chicago State 76-69. The win was the fifth straight for Valpo (12-11, 8-3), which also received 16 points and eight rebounds from Dan Oppland.
Seth Colclasure and Jimmie Miles added 10 points each for the Crusaders. The Cougars were led by Tony Weeden's 21 points. Deji Akindele tallied 16 points and seven boards for CSU.
The game was close throughout as Valpo's biggest lead in the first half was eight and Chicago State pulled within one on two separate occasions in the second half, trailing 66-64 with three minutes remaining.
Valpo, which never trailed in the final 20 minutes, put together a 7-2 run to extend its lead to 73-66 with 40 seconds left as Howard made a jumper and added two free throws, and Miles made a conventional three-point play.
Chicago State (6-14, 5-5), which won in dramatic fashion Saturday night at UMKC by making two, 3-point field goals in the last 1.9 seconds, trailed Valpo 74-69 with 18 seconds left before Colclasure's two free throws with 13 seconds remaining accounted for the final margin.
After the opening tipoff, Valpo held a 7-2 lead as Howard swished a 3-pointer with 17:12 left. Since the 13:42 mark when CSU took a 10-9 lead, the lead changed hands 10 times. Valpo used an 11-2 run late in the first half to take a 33-25 lead and the Crusaders held a 33-27 halftime advantage. Oppland topped Valpo with 12 first-half points, while the Cougars were led by Weeden's seven points.
Valpo outrebounded CSU 39-31 as five Crusaders grabbed five-or-more rebounds. In addition to eight each by Howard and Oppland, Miles snagged six, and Shawn Huff and Colclasure had five each.
The Cougars' 39-30 advantage in points in the paint allowed them to remain close to the Crusaders the entire game. Valpo held an advantage in free throws, draining 16 of 23 to CSU's 11 of 19. Each team made six, 3-pointers.
Valpo finished shooting 50 percent overall (27 of 54) to Chicago State's 43 percent (26 of 60).
Miles dished out five assists and Howard and Colclasure distributed four each. Huff blocked two shots for Valpo. Craig Franklin, who added 10 points, had four assists for CSU.
Valpo concludes a three-game homestand on Saturday by hosting IUPUI at 7:05 p.m.

TELLURIDE – President Obama may have thrown the ceremonial first pitch at the All Star baseball game Tuesday night, but here in Telluride, lovers of America's favorite pastime had their eyes trained elsewhere. The Town Park's softball diamonds hosted the women's league's three (tied) top teams, who played a heated three-(mini)game series to determine which squad would enter the season-ending tournament in the number-one bracket.
In a style befitting the three equally matched teams, Tuesday evening's three-game tie-breaker ended very much the way it started – in a tie. So Parks and Rec. commissioners dusted off the Telluride Town League sports' rule book to take advantage of a little-known, rarely used tie-breaking tactic: the highly sophisticated coin-flip.
As it turned out, Sherry Brieske of the Brown Dog threw scissors to the Slammers' Brigitte Kusuno's paper, winning the equally-clever rock-paper-scissors method of determining which team would get to call the coin. Brieske proceeded to achieve celebrity softball status by calling tails for her team, which is how the coin landed, thus catapulting the Brown Dog to the first-place seed in the A league women's tournament bracket. (This is, in an unhappy twist of fate for the Slammers, despite the fact that the Slammers beat the Brown Dog in the first game of the evening, 12-7.)
The Brown Dog went on to play fourth-ranked Cantina Chicks and Salsa Thursday night, while the Slammers and Mountain Limo also duked it out once more (results were unavailable as of press time.)
"It's a flip of a coin," joked Brieske following the Tuesday showdown, speaking of how she thinks the three A-league teams will rank in the upcoming tournament.
Tuesday's "tie-breaker" was, by all accounts, just another illustration of how competitive these three A-league teams (Slammers, Brown Dog, and Mountain Limo) really are this season. For speed of play, all batters had one ball and one strike against them stepping into the box, which meant that nary a batter let many pitches pass without taking a crack. And the 45-minute game limit assured that these three teams couldn't afford to waste any time getting warmed up in the first innings.
After the Slammers beat the Brown Dog in the first game of the evening, they went on to play Mountain Limo. As is typical of the well-oiled Mountain Limo machine, the Drivers stepped into the batter's box in the first inning and walloped Slammer outfielders with seven runs scored. Meanwhile, the Slammers' bats didn't get started until the third, but by the end of the inning the score still held at a lopsided 9-4, Mountain Limo.
Slammer defense finally got a handle on the Drivers' batters in the fourth, thanks to a quick three outs nailed by spectacular outfielder fly-ball catches from Lorraine Heidergott, Sara Spencer, and Rhea Depagter.
Propelled by a Ruth Homan dispatch to far left center field, the Drivers came back from their scoreless fourth inning with two RBIs in the fifth; those runs proved precious, since the Slammers' Deb Neiberger, Jessica Blount, and Depagter sisters Rhea and Brigitte (Kusuno) got on a batting streak and knocked in six runs to end the fifth.
With still a few minutes left on the game clock, Mountain Limo reluctantly took the field for a sixth inning. A huge Heidergott slam put the tying run on third base, but the Slammers weren't able to capitalize and lost the race by a run, 10-11.
By the third game, only Mountain Limo stood in line to take the all-out first place, having won their only other game Tuesday evening. Yet the Brown Dog, whose members had had time to recoup after their earlier loss to the Slammers, established early on that they weren't about to be the only team shut-out of this improvised tie-breaker tournament. Thanks to big hits and audacious base running from Michael Arnold, Karen "Roy" Mann, and Brandie Myers, by the fourth inning the Brown Dog had made beating Mountain Limo look like child's play.
Anyone familiar with women's A-league softball knows that beating Mountain Limo is, however, no small feat. Drivers Melissa Garvey and Heather Barber got things started for Driver offense late in the game, but their efforts proved too little, too late. Brown Dog took the win 10-6.
The Brown Dog win, incidentally, left spectators scratching their heads. Once again, these three teams were tied with the same record at the end of what was to be a tie-breaking evening. As per Parks and Rec. town league softball rules, the ranking then went to the best defensive team; or, in other words, the team that had allowed the least runs scored.
And yet again, a tie: Both the Slammers and the Brown Dog allowed 18 runs during the evening (Mountain Limo, meanwhile, allowed 20.)
So, to recap: The Slammers beat the Brown Dog. The Brown Dog beat Mountain Limo. Mountain Limo beat the Slammers. The Slammers and the Brown Dog tied for least runs allowed. Brown Dog's Brieske called scissors then tails, and voila! The Brown Dog was seeded first, the Slammers second, and Mountain Limo third.
Got it? For further clarification on what, exactly, is going on in the women's softball A league, just visit the sidelines of the upcoming tournament games, taking place next Tuesday and Thursday.

Army Pfc. Bradley Manning had provided ample evidence he was a risk before he leaked thousands of national security documents to the Wikileaks website. Yet his superiors did not limit his access to the information.
That came out Sunday during an Army hearing for Manning, who is accused of a variety of crimes. Manning's defense attorney related several stories of out-of-control behavior by his client during the months before the crimes occurred.
In at least two fits of rage, Manning overturned furniture. In another, he fought with another soldier after she confronted him over playing a video game while he was supposed to be working.
Finally, after the fight, Manning was banned from his workplace. But it was too late. He already had begun sending out classified information.
His attorney brings up a good question: Why did none of Manning's superiors take action against him sooner?
It is the same question critics have asked about the Army's treatment of Major Nidal Hasan, who killed 13 people and wounded 29 others in a massacre at Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009. Despite ample evidence Hasan was a threat to others, the Army did virtually nothing to prevent his bloody rampage.
With more than a half-million troops, the service is bound to have a few who need to be spotted as problems and dealt with effectively. Obviously, the Army's top brass needs to take a new look at disciplinary procedures.

|SCIAC Record:
Kristen Dowling returns for her second year as head women's basketball coach. In her first year, the 2012-13 season, CMS finished 6th in SCIAC play with an 9-16 overall record.
She spent the 2010-12 seasons as an assistant women's basketball coach at Pepperdine University where this past season she helped the Waves to an 18-12 finish and a spot in the postseason Women's National Invitation Tournament. It was her second time on the Waves coaching staff. From 2006-08, during her first stint, Dowling was a fulltime graduate assistant for Pepperdine. She spent the 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at CSU Bakersfield before being asked to return to Pepperdine as an assistant in June 2010.
At Cal State Bakersfield, Dowling was part of a coaching staff that guided the Roadrunners to the two best records in school history. Her 2008-09 team compiled an overall record of 19-10, and the 2009-2010 squad posted a 16-13 mark, which was tops among the seven NCAA Division-I Independent women's basketball programs––earning Bakersfield its first Division I post-season trip to the Women's Basketball Invitational.
Dowling played collegiately at the University of Redlands, where she led the Bulldogs to their second-ever Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title in 2004, and helped the university win a Women's Basketball Coaches Association Class Act Achievement Award. Dowling graduated Phi Beta Kappa, earning her bachelor's degree in Spanish, with a minor in physical education.
