From the Machine Age to Knowledge Age: Welcome to the Fourth Information Revolution
In the book, Bionomics: Economy as Business Ecosystem (1990), Michael Rothschild invents an entirely new metaphor to describe the economy. Instead of viewing the economy as a huge machine that periodically heats up and cools off, Rothschild reasons, people should understand it as a rainforest in which a multitude of species or firms must compete feverishly for limited resources and adapt to changing conditions.
According to Rothschild, bionomics is basically the concept that a market economy works much like an evolving ecosystem. As president of the Bionomics Institute, he applies this perspective to the critical problems facing corporations and governments. Rothschild argues that as the world moves from the machine age to the information age, bionomic thinking is essential to understanding the economic future.
In an article for The New Democrat, "Beyond Repair" (1995), he writes: "In a way not seen since Gutenberg's printing press ended the Dark Ages and ignited the Renaissance, the microchip is an epochal technology with unimaginably far-reaching economic, social, and political consequences."
A Harvard-trained lawyer and MBA, Rothschild has created a new frame of reference for understanding the economy. Politicians from all sides of the ideological spectrum have already latched on to his innovative ideas. Both the Progressive Policy Institute and the Progress & Freedom Foundation sponsored a forum held by the Bionomics Institute in Washington, D.C.
Rothschild is currently a regular columnist for Upside, a high-tech business magazine, and Forbes ASAP, a technology supplement to Forbes magazine. But before becoming a well-known futurist and author, Rothschild began his career as a consultant with the Boston Consulting Group. While there, he worked on assignments that exposed him a variety of challenging business problems. His work included dealing with industries as diverse as semiconductor fabrication, rail car leasing, plastics distribution, airport design, medical electronics, and housing construction.
Please join us as students and faculty engage Rothschild's vision for the future, one in which the "New Democrats and progressive Republicans will pursue a pro-technology, pro-growth, market-oriented, decentralist agenda."
Crisis, Reform, and Crisis: Déjà Vu and the Absence of Memory in Mexico's Political Economy
After a devastating debt crisis in 1982, Mexico's government initiated a series of reforms that were later hailed as sound macroeconomic policies. In late 1994, however, these very reforms seemed to collapse as the Mexican economy imploded and the peso's value plunged. To explain this dramatic reversal, Dr. Manuel Pastor will share his analysis of Mexico's present crisis and its connection to the last decade of reforms.
An expert in Latin American political economy, Pastor is a professor of economics at Occidental College, where he also serves as the director of the International & Public Affairs Center. His current research projects deal with the political economy of free trade in Mexico, economic reform in Cuba, and the relationship between private investment and democracy in the developing world.
Apart from teaching courses on economic development and macroeconomics, Pastor has written a number of works on the issue of Latin American development. These include The International Monetary Fund and Latin America: Economic Stabilization and Class Conflict (1987) and Inflation, Stabilization, and Debt: Macroeconomic Experiments in Peru and Bolivia (1992). His articles have also been featured in scholarly journals such as International Organization, World Development, and Latin American Research Review.
In recent years, Pastor has become recognized for his research in, and service to, low-income communities of color. In 1989 he cofounded the New Majority Task Force, a group of minority urban planners and community leaders. From 1990 to 1991 he directed a California Council for the Humanities project on the "California Dilemma," which addressed the issues of environmental integrity, economic development, and social justice. The author of Latinos and the Los Angeles Uprising: The Economic Context (1993), Pastor is now studying the relationship between regional restructuring and community development in low-income neighborhoods.
Pastor holds an M.A. and a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He has been a visiting associate professor at the Graduate School of International Relations and Pacific Studies at the University of California, San Diego, and at the Graduate School of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of California, Los Angeles.
L'Histoire du Soldat by Igor Stravinsky
DOUGLAS DUSTON, conductor and director
Igor Stravinsky's musico-dramatic masterpiece L'Histoire du Soldat (The Soldier's Tale) (1918) is about a soldier's unwitting pact with the devil and his subsequent attempts to win back his soul. Working with the French novelist C. M. Ramuz, Stravinsky created not an opera, not a play, but an acted narration to be "read, played, and danced." The players are listed as a narrator, a soldier, the devil, and a princess, but in actuality the drama is propelled by four very different characters: spoken dialogue, mime, music, and dance.
The Soldier's Tale is usually performed as a concert suite and only rarely in its original form, because its requirements are unique and it fits uneasily into conventional dramatic or operatic venues. Assembled here at the Athenaeum for a complete performance of this powerful and enchanting work is an extraordinary ensemble of actors, dancers and musicians, conducted and directed by Douglas Dunston, a doctoral candidate at The Claremont Graduate School.
McKenna Lecture on International Trade and Economics
Trade and Wages
"If the last 15 or 20 years teach us one overwhelming lesson in political economy, it is this: just because an economic doctrine is patently false, that does not mean it can safely be ignored, especially when that doctrine tells people what they want to hear."
-Paul R. Krugman
The Athenaeum's second annual McKenna Lecture on International Trade and Economics will be delivered by noted economist Paul R. Krugman. An expert on international trade and finance, Krugman is a scholar whose work has influenced modern economics and public policy. As one of the founders of "new trade theory," he helped to bring about a major rethinking in international trade theory. For his respected academic research and prolific work, Krugman has been described by The Economist as "the most celebrated economist of his generation."
A professor of economics at Stanford University, Krugman has written or edited 15 books and more than 100 papers in professional journals. His most recent work, Pop Internationalism, explains real economic analysis and the misconceptions that surround international trade. Krugman's book also targets the pundits and policyrnakers he calls "pop internationalists," pointing out their mistakes and their willful misuse of economic figures.
Krugman's most recent book is The Self- Organizing Economy (1996), in which he applies the ideas of complexity theory and the concept of self-organizing systems to economics. The book's research deals particularly with the spatial organization of production.
Krugman's other books have influenced policy debates as well. These include Peddling Prosperity: Economic Sense and Nonsense in the Age of Diminished Expectations (1994), The Age of Diminished Expectations: U.S. Economic Policy in the 1990s (1990) and Rethinking International Trade (1990).
In 1991 Krugman earned the Eccles Prize for excellence in economic writing and the John Bates Clark Medal, a prize given every two years by the American Economic Association to the best American economist under the age of forty. He also was accorded the Adam Smith Award in 1995.
A fellow with the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Krugman has taught at Yale University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He has also served as an international policy economist for the Council of Economic Advisers.
The Athenaeum's presentation of the McKenna International Trade and Economics speaker is made possible by a grant from the Philip M. McKenna Foundation, which supports public policy research and economic education. The McKenna Foundation was incorporated in 1967 by Philip M. McKenna, late brother of CMC founding trustee Donald McKenna. Chairman of Kennametal, Inc., Philip McKenna was highly interested in economic and trade issues.
Peter Gay, one of the most influential and respected historians today, is the Phi Beta Kappa visiting scholar whose appearance at the Athenaeum is sponsored by Tau chapter of Phi Beta Kappa at Claremont McKenna College. In his lecture Gay will trace the development of the civil war within nineteenth-century society, and complicate a story that has all too often been simplified.
Peter Gay is Sterling Professor of History, emeritus, at Yale University, where he has taught since 1969. His area of specialization is comparative and intellectual European history. Before teaching at Yale, he taught at Columbia University for twenty-two years.
Gay is the recipient of fellowships from the Guggenheim and Rockefeller foundations. In 1989 he was elected to the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. The following year he was awarded the first Amsterdam Prize for historical science of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is also a member of the American Philosophical Society, the Academy of Arts and Letters, and the French Historical Society.
Peter Gay is the author of 20 books, including Voltaire Politics: The Poet as Realist (1988), Style in History (1974), Freud: A Life for Our Time (1989), and four volumes of The Bourgeoi's Experience: Victoria to Freud (1985-1995). Gay's Weimar Culture: The Outsider as Insider (1974) won the Phi Beta Kappa Ralph Waldo Emerson Award, and the first volume of his two-volume study, The Enlightenment: An Interpretation (1977), won a National Book Award.
Three Centuries of High Brass
JAMES KLAGES, cornet & trumpet
HAO HAUNG, piano
James Klages is an internationally known trumpet and cornet soloist. As a member of the President's Own United States Marine Band, he has performed extensively throughout the United States, Ireland, Israel, and Jordan. An experienced soloist, he was the first person to be hired as cornet soloist in this century. He has been soloist at Interlochen, Wolftrap Farm Park, Constitution Hall, Meirhoff Hall, and every major band festival in the United States. In addition to concert appearances, he has performed on National Public Radio and Public Television.
Klages performed the solo trumpet part of Handel's Messiah (1741) at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, Israel for an internationally broadcast television special and sound recording in an innovative and ground-breaking performance. He played for King Hussein's birthday celebration in Amman, Jordan, and was twice invited to return. Currently, he is professor of trumpet and jazz at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado.
Klages will be accompanied on piano by Hao Hating, professor of music at Scripps College. Together, these two musicians cofounded the Animas Music Festival in Durango, Colorado.
Their program will include selections from Joseph Haydn, Carl Hohne, Giuseppe Torelli, and Alexander Artunian. Klages will be performing on B, C, and piccolo trumpets, cornet, and flugel horn. The recital is the final concert of the 1995-96 Stotsenberg Chamber Music Series.
The Hopi Indians: Culture and Art
DONALD McKENNA
Donald McKenna, Founding Trustee of Claremont McKenna College, and his wife, Bernice, have actively pursued an interest in the Hopi Indians of the southwestern United States for over 50 years. At the end of World War II, while traveling west on the "Superchief," the McKennas met an attorney for the Navajo who suggested to them that investing in Navajo jewelry would be a good hedge against inflation. They were subsequently introduced to Brice Sewell, a curator of arts and crafts at Window Rock, Arizona. Sewell, who became a lifelong friend, took them to a "bean dance" ceremony and during the course of their friendship introduced them to the life and cultural traditions of the Hopi Indians.
In his presentation at the Athenaeum, Mr. McKenna will offer a videotaped tour of the most prized Hopi artifacts from his personal collection.
It was Donald McKenna's intellectual vision that inspired the development of the Athenaeum as a concept at CMC and ultimately led to the present facility and program. Please join him for dinner at the Athenaeum and enjoy a personal viewing of this remarkable collection of Native American art.

Rejecting Complacency and Despair: Reflections on the Holocaust
In remembrance of the Holocaust the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum is honored to present P. Edward Haley as this year's guest speaker. A recognized expert in the field of international relations, Professor Haley argues that the Holocaust offers valuable lessons that go beyond the diplomatic and strategic. The tragedy of the Holocaust reminds capitalist societies of the dangers inherent in complacency, for the possibility of another holocaust persists. And yet, the example of those rescuers involved in the Holocaust may also give hope to society as a whole, renewing the meaning of altruism.
A senior research associate of the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies, Haley is a professor of international relations at CMC and The Claremont Graduate School. His scholarly interests include nuclear weapons and arms control, the Arab-Israeli conflict, and security developments in Asia and the Pacific. He is an International Fellow of the Council on Foreign Relations and a member of the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London.
Haley has authored and edited a number of internationally recognized books and articles. These works include Overtaken by Events: George Bush and the World, 1989-1993; Strategic Defense Initiative: Folly or Future? (1986); Nuclear Strategy, Arms Control, and the Future (1988); and Qaddafi and the United States Since 1969 (1984).
A former staff member in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, Haley is frequently quoted by the media on international controversies and issues of the day. His opinion articles have been featured in the Los Angeles Times, The International Herald Tribune, and The Chicago Tribune.
Professor Haley received his B.A. and M.A. from Stanford University and a Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University, School of Advanced International Studies.

Free Markets and Free Men
Milton Friedman, 1976 Nobel Prize winner in economics, has been a senior research fellow at the Hoover Institution since 1977. He is also Paul Snowden Russell Distinguished Service Professor emeritus of economics at the University of Chicago, where he taught from 1946 to 1976.
Friedman is widely regarded as the leader of the Chicago School of monetary economics, which stresses the importance of the quantity of money as an instrument of government policy and as a determinant of business cycles and inflation.
He has published many books and articles, most notably A Theory of the Consumption Function (1957), The Optimum Quantity of Money and Other Essays (1969), and (with A. J. Schwartz) A Monetary History of the United States (1963), Monetary Statistics of the United States (1970), and Monetary Trends in the United States and the United Kingdom (1982).
In addition to his scientific work, Friedman has also written extensively on public policy, always with primary emphases on the preservation and extension of individual freedom. His most important books in this field are: Capitalism and Freedom (1962) (with Rose D. Friedman); Bright Promises, Dismal Performance (1983); Free to Choose (1980)(with Rose Friedman), which complements a ten-part television series of the same name; and Tyranny of the Status Quo (1984), which complements a three-part television series of the same name.
Milton Friedman is the Henry Salvatori Center's leadoff speaker for its 25th anniversary conference on modern freedom, which will run through Saturday, April 20th. Students attending the Friedman dinner will have the opportunity to meet and dine with such distinguished conference participants as Michael Novak, director of social and political studies at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C.; Harvey C. Mansfield Jr., professor of government at Harvard University; and Ernest Fortin, professor of theology at Boston College. The conference is open to the public and will continue with a panel discussion in Davidson Lecture Hall on Friday afternoon at 1:30 p.m.
Dinner reservations are restricted to members of the CMC community. The 6:45 p.m. lecture is open to all, no reservations required.

IRENE VASQUEZ, harmonica
TUESDAY, APRIL 23, 1996 3:00-4:30 p.m.

They've performed at benefits, coffee houses, and other events in the area, including the Annual Claremont Blues Festival in the fall of 1995. Along with Bilger, guitarist Catherine Lombardo, bassist Cee Harrelson, and harmonica-player Irene Vasquez will offer up a sampling of their version of the blues to accompany your Athenaeum tea.
The Second World War and Lasting Peace
Why did the peace that concluded the First World War fail, eventually leading to renewed general war, while the end of the Second World War laid the foundations for a more lasting peace? Can we learn any enduring lessons from a study of the ends of these wars? Please join us in the Athenaeum as Professor Donald Kagan, one of the world's leading military and political historians, gives thoughtful answers to these and other questions concerning the nature of war and peace.
Donald Kagan is the Hillhouse Professor of History and Classics at Yale University and is the former dean of Yale College. He holds an M.A. in the classics from Brown University and a Ph.D. in history from Ohio State University.
A leading classical scholar, Kagan is most recently author of an acclaimed study, On The Origins of War and the Preservation of Peace (1994). Among his numerous articles and books on classical history are The Outbreak of the Peloponnesian War (1969), The Peace of Nicias and the Sicilian Expedition (1981), and The Fall of the Athenian Empire (1987).
Kagan was formerly Bass Professor of History and Classics and Western Civilization at Yale, which gave him an eyewitness view of the controversy surrounding a $20-million donation to the university. The Yale administration sparked alumni outrage when it returned the donation rather than follow the wishes of the donor and implement an agreed-upon series of programs in western civilization.
The Kagan lecture is cosponsored by the Henry Salvatori Center and the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies.

SPRINGFIELD – Baystate Medical Center has been ranked as one of the Best Regional Hospitals for 2013-2014 in the U.S. News & World Report's 24th annual "Best Hospitals" rankings, recognizing hospitals that excel in treating patients who need an especially high level of care.
U.S. News and World Report ranks up to 50 hospitals in each of 16 medical specialties. Only 147 out of nearly 5,000 U.S. hospitals earned national ranking in one or more of the specialties.
Baystate Medical Center's ranking as a top hospital is a testament to the hard work and dedication of all Baystate employees in making quality and patient safety second to none, noted Dr. Evan M. Benjamin, senior vice president, Healthcare Quality, Baystate Health.
"What our high ranking means for patients is that Baystate Medical Center is recognized nationally as one of the safest hospitals in the country in terms of outcomes and avoiding serious medical errors. This latest honor is just one of many national awards and recognitions Baystate Medical Center has received over the past years for its high quality of care," said
Dr. Benjamin.
"Providing world-class healthcare close to home in western Massachusetts not only represents the fulfillment of our mission, it also helps to keep our Pioneer Valley community strong in terms of our overall health, economy, and quality of life," he added.
The hospital ranked as "high performing" in 9 medical specialties, including cancer, cardiology and heart surgery, gastroenterology and related surgery, geriatrics, gynecology, nephrology, neurology and neurosurgery, orthopedics and urology.
"The mission of Best Hospitals is to help guide patients who need a high level of care because they face a particularly difficult surgery, a challenging condition, or added risk because of other health problems or age," said Avery Comarow, U.S. News Health Rankings Editor. "Patient survival and safety data, the adequacy of nurse staffing levels and other objective data largely determined the rankings in most specialties.
The research organization RTI International in Research Triangle Park, N.C., conducted the physician survey and produced the Best Hospital methodology and national rankings under
contract with U.S. News.
Baystate Children's Hospital has also been previously ranked as one of the Best Children's Hospitals 2013-2014 for pediatric diabetes and endocrinology by U.S. News & World Report.

Harbor History
Share this:
Send this via e-mail
The story of the Duluth-Superior Harbor is long and colorful. It begins with the geologic forces that formed the natural harbor, and continues today with the engineering marvels that persist in reshaping the face of our working waterfront. "Harbor History" is a big story- in turns dramatic, tragic, funny, and fascinating. It is a tale of Native Americans, explorers, traders, and immigrants - political maneuvering, economic ups and downs, huge opportunities, maritime industry, and gargantuan building projects. Our story is illustrated with rare old drawings, maps, photographs, and archival film. "Harbor History" is a delightful documentary about challenge, inspiration, and triumph. It is a worthy addition to the videotape library of any history buff.
5-DVD Set includes:
- Harbor History - Overview
- Harbor History I - A Grand Idea
- Harbor History II - The War Years
- Harbor History III: Modern Harbor- World Port (1954-1980)
- Harbor History IV – 1980 – 2000
Book: 'Pride of the Inland Sea'
An Illustrated History of the Port of Duluth-Superior
French-Canadian voyageurs began striking inland from the Head of the Lakes in the 17th century, searching for pelts to transport back down the Lakes to Montreal. Today, more than 300 years later, Duluth-Superior remains one of North America's most important ports, handling millions of tons of commodities during the ten months the Great Lakes are ice-free each year.

(NAPSI)�There are more than a million retail outlets in the United States and they employ almost 14 million people. After struggling through the Great Recession, many economists say it�s time for Congress to help these entrepreneurs, their communities and their employees by ending the special treatment given to their online-only competitors.
Here�s How
It can pass the Marketplace Fairness Act. This will:
� Restore free market principles by requiring all retailers to play by the same rules, whether they operate on Main Street or online
� Simplify the collection of sales taxes for all retailers, making the system fairer and easier for all small businesses
� Make it easier for states to collect revenue that is already owed, taking pressure off lawmakers to make deep cuts or raise other taxes
� Promote real business competition and help protect our local business base and jobs.
The Situation Now
Today, online-only retailers are exploiting a legal loophole from the pre-Internet era that lets them avoid collecting state sales taxes. Meanwhile, local brick-and-mortar businesses are legally obligated to collect sales taxes at the point of purchase every single day. As a result, Internet-based retailers get a government-sanctioned price advantage of up to 10 percent in many states.
Explains Governor and former Indiana Representative Mike Pence: �I don�t think Congress should be in the business of picking winners and losers. Inaction by Congress results in a system today that does pick winners and losers.�
When Main Street retailers lose sales to out-of-state, online-only retailers due to an unfair competitive advantage, it damages local businesses that create those jobs, pay their property and income taxes and build communities. Sales taxes collected by local, brick-and-mortar businesses fund critical services that benefit all citizens�from highway improvements to emergency services and public education. These are also the businesses that sponsor Little League teams and support charitable efforts throughout the year.
Governors from across the country, including New Jersey governor Chris Christie, have helped mobilize support for Congress to act. These governors see firsthand the negative impact this loophole has on local companies and communities, and they are urging Congress to solve this problem now.
What Can Be Done
Fortunately, the technology exists to simplify implementation of e-fairness legislation for small businesses. There is already software on the market that lets small online companies quickly and efficiently calculate taxes due on sales, which can be easily incorporated into their operations. eBay provides this software to their own sellers for only a few dollars a month.

For more than a decade, a group of crafty ladies have gathered at Sneads Ferry Presbyterian Church every Wednesday morning to cut, stitch and sew a colorful assortment of blankets and quilts for children in need.
Known as the Patchwork Squares, the group donates time and commitment to create quality handmade quilts for the residents of Barium Springs Home for Children in Statesville. Each child who becomes a resident there receives his or her own comforting keepsake upon arrival, a daily reminder that someone cares. As they reach an overall goal of 1,000 quilts this year, group founder Andrea Barrett said that she is pleased to witness the group upholding the ministry that first brought them together in 2002.
"It's like a sisterhood here," Barrett said. "We have taught at least 50 percent of the people here how to quilt. We have quilt classes every once in a while and will provide machines to the ones who need them, and we walk them through the whole thing."
As church membership grows, the group makes more room for anyone who has a desire to learn the craft and a heart to help others. Newcomers are welcome to present ideas and work on a quilt at their own pace.
"I'm one of the new ones to the group. The first thing they asked when I came to the church was, 'Do you sew?'," said Sneads Ferry resident Ginny Boyce, who has been in the group for two years.
Patchwork Squares first started with 15 women at Barrett's home pledging to sew 55 quilts for Barium Springs. The group has since expanded to 30 active members who are diverse as the quilts they create.
"Barium Springs is the mission of this group and a big mission of this church," Barrett said. "It's for kids who are having difficulties with their families or sometimes with the law. They really need guidance … That place is wonderful for them."
Twice a year, the group takes the five-hour trip to Statesville to deliver the quilts in person. For some of the children, a quilt is the only possession that they have.
"Some of the kids are in poverty and their mothers are so poor that can't afford a blanket to give them," Barrett said.
This year's creations will hang in the church's corridor for the congregation and guests to view beginning April 3 before they are donated. On April 7, Pastor Bill Young will offer a prayer of blessing over the 100 quilts before they are presented to Barium Springs Development Operations Manager Lorie Fees. Fees said that the quilts are treasured among the residents.
"We're incredibly grateful that every child admitted into our four residence homes gets a quilt and a bible immediately, and the quilts are often times taken with them to their therapy sessions," she said. "We've had children tell us that in a dark, dark world, getting this quilt means the world to them."
In addition, the group collectively crafted a large 92-inch-by-92-inch labyrinth-patterned quilt for the children's home to raffle as a fundraiser. All of the fabric is purchased by contributions made from the church congregation towards the mission. They gather ideas from books, magazines, quilt shows and their imaginations to create a variety of patterns and designs. Each quilt also has a label with personalized message from the creator.
"We use really good quality fabrics; we only use quilting fabrics and we get a top quality batting. We make them the same way that we would make them for our grandchildren," Barrett said.
Patchwork Squares also contributes to local organizations, such as the Onslow County Chapter of Relay for Life, and offers support to residents and church members who are facing difficult times. The group has become an extended family, planning yearly excursions, lunch dates and other events that challenge them to become better quilters.
"We're not a guild. A quilter's guild is much more formal with rules and regulations, but we just come and have a good time," Boyce said. "No one ever gossips here. We share concerns, but there's no judgment here."
Although the group has reached its longtime goal, Barrett said that they will still continue to support Barium Springs and they welcome other residents to take part in their mission.
"You don't have to be a church member to come, and there's no pressure on you to come to our church to come to the group," she said. "We really just have a good time together. If we can continue to help these kids and make them happy, then we're happy."
Patchwork Squares meets every Wednesday from 9 to 11 a.m. at Sneads Ferry Presbyterian Church. For more information, call 910-327-0166 or visit sneadsferrypresbyterian.com.

James McCartney Biography & News
James McCartney Details
|Official site
About James McCartney
Meet James McCartney, son of a superstar (Created August 2, 2013)
Don't tell James McCartney he has big shoes to fill. The British singer-songwriter and the only son of legendary former Beatle Paul McCartney is blazing his own path through the music industry.
Following his international breakthrough in 2012, one could say that 2013 has been exhilarating for James. Following the release of two digital-only EPs ("Available Light" and "Close at Hand"), as well as his first physical release ("The Complete EP Collection"), he's finally debuted his first full-length album. It came on May 21, 2013, and was simply titled "Me."
Of course, "Me," is not something that was previously worked into the spotlight for the younger McCartney. He played guitar and drums on some of his father's solo albums, including "Flaming Pie" in 1997 and "Driving Rain" in 2001. He also co-wrote the songs "Spinning On An Axis" and "Back in the Sunshine Again" with his dad, and played percussion on the former and guitar on the latter. Still, James yearned for his own spotlight and to be his own artist.
James McCartney calls his first album "intimate, deeply personal, and honest. An album that would say, 'This is who I am…both musically and personally." And fans are getting an up-close look, as the tour to accompany the release began April 6 and will visit 47 cities coast to coast in the United States. Most are booked as solo acoustic shows in small venues, with James accompanying himself on guitar and piano.
Perhaps the greatest compliment James has gotten along the way came from the NY Daily News when it said, "[He] has clearly forged a winning sound of his own." And any comparisons to dad? Welcome, but completely unnecessary.

Heyneke Meyer couldn't have asked for a better leader than Jean de Villiers during this season of transition, says former Springbok captain John Smit.
Smit's Test days are over, but he continues to follow the Boks as closely and as passionately as any South African fan. Speaking to keo.co.za from the Saracens clubhouse in St Albans, he was quick to laud the new guard of Meyer and De Villiers and what they've accomplished in a short space of time.
It is also clear to Smit, even from his far-flung viewpoint in the leafy English countryside, that a strong team culture is beginning to take shape.
During an international career that spanned 11 years and 111 Tests, Smit captained the Boks on a world record 83 occasions. There were giddy highs and gutting lows, and ultimately Smit obtained an unparalleled understanding of what it means to be a leader at rugby's highest level.
In Smit's opinion, De Villiers has the makings of a great Test captain. Never mind that Victor Matfield, Fourie du Preez and Schalk Burger were all considered options prior to the Test series against England. Never mind that it took season-ending injuries and an avalanche of red tape to bury the three front runners and elevate De Villiers to the top of the captaincy pile.
As Smit is keen to emphasise, De Villiers' appointment should be recognised as an important one for Springbok rugby.
'I think he's been outstanding. However it came about, I think we can all be grateful that it did,' the former Bok captain said.
'Jean has stepped up, he's handled everything that's been thrown at him. He's spoken a lot of sense while at the same time not giving much away, and has represented in a mature manner.'
De Villiers is renowned for his quick wit as well as his affinity for a practical joke, and often this side of his personality has been misinterpreted as a failure to take his rugby particularly seriously.
It was for this reason that some doubted his aptitude for the captaincy, but very few naysayers remained following the series-clinching victory in Johannesburg. Two days later, Meyer instated De Villiers as the team's captain for the rest of the 2012 season.
Smit watched the series against England closely and picked up on some interesting trends with regards to the captaincy. Again, he was impressed by the manner in which De Villiers conducted himself.
'Jean is one of my closest mates because we played together for a thousand years,' Smit said in jest before adopting a more serious tone. 'He was always the guy who created the fun, the guy in our team who had a chirp or a joke, but at the same time he always had that leadership ability within him.
'I'm not just talking about speaking eloquently at press conferences. His timing on the field, the way he approaches referees during a game, has been particularly impressive this season. A lot of new captains will jump on a referee's back in order to make their point. But Jean has chosen his moment and remained calm throughout.'
De Villiers led the Stormers to a conference title in 2012 in the absence of regular captain, Schalk Burger. But leading a nation is a very different prospect, as Smit confirms.
'There's a big jump between captaining a Super Rugby team and leading your country,' said Smit. 'Having said that, Jean has adapted well. There wasn't one time during that England series where I thought "maybe Jean should have done that differently, or maybe he should have made a different decision".
'He's 31 and is probably not going to lead the Boks at the next World Cup, not that I'm the one to make that call, but it's probably not going to happen. For now, I think he's an amazing transitional captain for Heyneke.'
The Boks went on to win the first two Tests and draw the third, and it's the results that Smit marks as significant. It shows that the right people, read the coach and captain, are in place, and that given enough time, this team may replicate the feats of the Boks of 2007 and 2009.
'I was very impressed with that first game considering the lack of time they had to prepare,' said Smit. 'It is a credit to the talent in the country, and hopefully that is something South Africa will always have.
'Heyneke's challenge is to put all of that talent together, to build a team that can operate even when the best two players are having an off day. I don't know Heyneke and have never had a conversation with him in my life, but I think he is the kind of guy who can make that happen.
'You need superstars in rugby but you also need a big focus on the team aspect. It's about balance, that's the tricky part, and the good coaches know how to achieve that balance.'
Looking at where the Boks are at the moment, Smit is optimistic about the future. They may not be the favourites to win the Rugby Championship in 2012, but they are heading in the right direction.
'If you can beat England twice and draw once when you are rebuilding, with a limited amount of time and a massive amount of injuries, then you are in a good space. I don't care whether they are scoring seven tries or seven penalties, as long as they're winning I'm happy,' Smit said.
'But I will also always look at how the Boks perform because I'm a player myself. Often I will look at when they perform badly like they did in the third Test. They still managed to sneak a draw, and for me that was a good sign.
'Heyneke is saying and doing all the right things and hopefully he sticks to that. He's got an unbelievable track record and hopefully he can bring what he created culture-wise at the Bulls over to the Boks.'
The series victory against England marked a bright start to a new era of Springbok rugby, but the Tests against Australia and New Zealand should provide a more accurate measure of what is a vastly different team to the one led by Smit.
And yet, before they undergo the sterner examinations against some familiar foes, they will need to pass two preliminary tests in Cape Town and Mendoza.
'It would be foolish to look at a game against Argentina as a practice match before playing the Aussies and New Zealanders,' said Smit. 'I think Heyneke will view this game as a challenge, and he will want to take on Argentina at their strongest point, which is their forwards. It's going to be hard work, so I think the performance in the first Test [against Argentina] won't be as convincing as some may expect.'
Smit did temper this statement by reflecting on the strides that were made against England.
'The Bok scrum surprised me in that England series, I thought England were going to be very powerful, but the Boks rose to the occasion and did very well.
'I can't see Argentina running over us in the forwards. When last did Argentina run over an opposing pack? That would be when guys like Federico Mendez were playing 15 years ago. They do have a reputation, but it hasn't really been a reality over the last couple of years.
'For South Africa, dominating up front should be the priority. The Argentinian pack will be confrontational, and the Boks will want to vanquish that challenge before bringing their backs into the game.'

As of Nov. 16, Donnie Anemaet had made 64 DWI arrests on the year. The number is likely to have increased by several by the time you're reading this.
Anemaet is a patrolman first class in the Burlington Police Department's patrol division. He has more DWI arrests than anyone else in the Burlington Police Department.
More DWI arrests, in fact, than any law enforcement officer — N.C. Highway Patrol trooper, Alamance County Sheriff's Office deputy or officer with any other municipality — in
Who has the second-most DWI arrests?
"I'll have to get back to you on that," said Sgt. Sam Epps of the Burlington Police Department, Anemaet's boss.
Rest assured, that individual trails Anemaet by a considerable margin.
Anemaet, 36, has been employed by the Burlington Police Department since 2009. His priority is stopping impaired drivers.
"If there were people out there shooting guns, we'd try to stop them," Anemaet said. "We've got people out here driving deadly weapons when they're impaired. I want to stop that. I want to get them off the road."
He does, and does so well.
"We have officers who have different strengths," Epps said. "We work together as a team. That's his passion, that's what he's passionate about."
Anemaet is a native of
When Sizemore was bought and changed names, Anemaet moved with the new company. When things didn't work to his satisfaction, he decided to pursue a career as a police officer, something he'd always wanted to do.
"I'd reached the point where I was making the money, but realized it wasn't what I wanted out of life," Anemaet said.
One of his first nights in training he rode with Epps. Anemaet said he remembers the evening because Epps made three DWI arrests — one where they happened upon a motorist passed out at the wheel.
But Anemaet said, initially, he wasn't enamored of the portion of his job where he charged motorists with DWI. It's time-consuming and can prove tedious.
"You've got to be sure you dot your I's and cross your T's," Anemaet said. "You've got to do everything by the book to be sure you get a conviction."
He said a typical DWI charge takes two to three hours from the time the motorist is stopped until the officer leaves the jail. That's followed by another two hours of paperwork.
Anemaet excels. He said that of the 152 DWI charges he's taken to court, he's lost only four cases.
Anemaet said like most officers, he grows better at his work as he gains experience, more proficient at stopping impaired drivers.
"Sometimes it's the small clues," he said of what tips him off that a motorist might be inebriated.
Anemaet looks for erratic driving. Some impaired motorists drive faster, while others will drive 10 or 15 mph below the limit. Some will drift, making wide turns. When Anemaet begins following in his white Chevrolet Impala police cruiser, it's not unusual for an impaired motorist to quickly change lanes, as if that will somehow make the officer lose interest.
A dead giveaway of a drunk driver, Anemaet said, is one speeding at 2 a.m. with no headlights on.
"I know those are the ones I've got to get off the road," he said.
Anemaet is the Burlington Police Department's Drug Recognition Expert, a position that required extensive training. He often advises other officers about the effects various drugs will have on motorists and testifies in court on matters related to drugs and drivers.
Anemaet's expertise at spotting and stopping impaired motorists has grown. In 2010, he made 29 DWI arrests. In 2011, that number increased to 54. Anemaet said his goal is to make between 70 and 75 DWI arrests before the end of this year.
"I'm pretty consistent," he said. "I get one just about every shift."
Anemaet primarily patrols
Anemaet and his fellow officers rotate shifts — working nights for a period before moving to days. Anemaet said he catches more drivers impaired by drugs — prescription medications, included — during the day. At night, alcohol is the impairment of choice.
Anemaet is the first to admit his job isn't easy. Facing a DWI charge, motorists often grow hostile or emotional.
"People plead and beg," Anemaet said. "They'll say, 'I'll lose my license.' 'I'll lose my job.' I'm sorry. I feel for them."

It's sink or swim time for the Museum of the Marine.
"If we don't get a large influx of cash in the next year the museum project will probably not get built," said museum board member Bob Songer during a presentation to the Jacksonville Tourism Development Authority on Thursday.
Songer, a retired Marine colonel, asked for and received $60,000 from the tourism authority to hire a professional fundraising company to target wealthy individuals.
The museum board, which received nonprofit status in 1999, has been recently courting corporate sponsors, but members say they now realize most significant donations to nonprofit organizations come from people not corporations. The museum board also recognized that small donations were never going to get the project built.
"This is a $28-million museum. We've raised $8 million, which leaves us $20 million short," Songer said. "It's not going to get built off of $10, $20 or even $10,000 donations. That's just a bridge too far."
He said the museum board appreciates every penny, but what is needed are donations of $1 million and $10 million.
The museum board will take the $60,000 from city tourism — $30,000 now and $30,000 in next year's fiscal budget, which starts in July — combine it with funds it will be seeking from Onslow County Tourism next week and hire a fundraising company. That company, Atlanta-based Alexander-Haas, which has raised more than $1 billion for more than 1,000 organizations, will target potential large donors for the museum.
Dave Brown, the museum board's executive director, told The Daily News that Phase I of the museum, a park and memorial symbols, will be built soon. Brown, a retired Marine lieutenant colonel, said the $8 million already raised is tied up in that portion of the project.
The museum board also has overhead that includes salaries and office space, according to tax returns obtained by The Daily News.
If more money isn't raised the museum "will be dead in the water after Phase I is built," Songer told the members of the city tourism authority.
The Museum of the Marine is a planned 40,000-square foot building set to be located in the
The museum board decided to build the museum in phases with each new phase entirely dependent on fundraising.
The first phase, for which planning is 100-percent complete, is the creation of a symbolic park on the large open area in front of the future building. The park's focal point will be an 11-foot bronze sculpture of an eagle, globe and anchor crafted by wildlife artist David Turner.
Parking lots and permanent walkways — bordered by more than 4,000 special donor bricks — will be constructed in phase one, according to information from the museum board.
Songer said the museum is too important to the future of
The Museum of the Marine would mean those kinds of numbers to
He told the tourism authority that if they didn't raise significant funds within a year, the project was hopeless.
Jacksonville Mayor Pro Tem Mike Lazzara said the importance of a fully functional museum couldn't be overstated.
He said the museum board had good momentum when it began its funding journey, but several adverse things have happened, including the national economic downturn, a string of deployments and attention shifting to the national Marine museum in

Women's Volleyball Holds Off Limestone Rally to Take Crucial 3-2 Win
October 30, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Limestone College and Pfeiffer University got together on Tuesday night for their annual five-set thriller as the host Lady Falcons held on for a 3-2 (25-23, 25-21, 18-25, 18-25, 15-8) victory in Conference Carolinas womens volleyball action inside the Merner Gym. Pfeiffer improves to 8-17 overall, 5-9 in league play, while the Saints fall to 8-18, 6-8.
A fifth set was needed on Tuesday after Limestone came back from a 0-2 deficit to win sets three and four. In the fifth, three Saints errors and kill by Brianna Jones (Atlanta, GA) put Pfeiffer up early 4-1. After a Regan Youngs (Homewood, AL) kill made it 4-3, the Lady Falcons would burst out on a 5-0 run to create the final separation needed. Kelly Lancellot (Naples, FL) would rack up a pair of kills in that stretch with the other coming from Milana Mervosh (Roebuck, SC). Pfeiffer would cruise from that point on using an ace by Mervosh with final kills from Lancellot, Jessica Homrich (Grand Rapids, MI) and Amber Wooten (East Bend, NC) for the match win.
Pfeiffer had to hold off the Saints at the end of set one as an 18-12 lead after a Jones kill turned into a 23-22 nail biter after a kill from Emylee Gotsch (Deland, FL) and error by the Lady Falcons. Wooten would put down another kill while each team traded errors to end set one 25-23.
Late in set two, Limestone would hold a 19-17 lead breaking a 17-all two with two-straight Pfeiffer errors. A kill by Homrich and ace by Cate Glendenning (Holly Springs, NC) squared it again at 19-19 before kills by Jones, Mervosh and ace from Meghan Davis (Fulton, MO) put Pfeiffer up for good at 22-21. A final put down by Lancellot put the Lady Falcons up 2-0 in the match heading into the 10 minute intermission.
Set three and four saw the Saints battle back to take 25-18 victories forcing the deciding set. A pair of Jessica Onken (Derby, KS) aces started a 4-0 run to kick off set three before using a six-point run taking a 16-13 lead and pushing it to 22-13 en route to the win. Set four saw Pfeiffer hold a 9-7 advantage until a seven-point burst by Limestone put them back up 14-9 forcing a Pfeiffer timeout. A steady diet of kills from Youngs and Gotsch would finish off set four for the Saints.
Jones would lead all attackers on the night with 13 kills for Pfeiffer hitting a match best .522. Homrich and Lancellot would each follow with 10 while libero Nicole Nitu (Highlands Ranch, CO) adding a match-high 18 digs.
Limestone saw Gotsch and Youngs lead the way with 12 and 11 kills respectively. Onken assisted 43 times in the loss while Gotsch completed her volleyball version of a double-double adding 16 digs.
Pfeiffer gets back to action this weekend playing their final regular season games at Barton and Mount Olive on Friday and Saturday. Fighting for the east divisions final playoff spot with Barton and Mount Olive, the Lady Falcons will need victories to clinch a spot in next weeks conference tournament.

School magnet
The teachers and parents loved the calendar magnets and the price was great!! It came so fast we couldn't be more happy and plan on using this company every year!!! Thanks!!!
Magnet Street was great to work with! I was provided several examples of my product and they were happy to change things when needed. They were also very easy to work with as they developed everything in a timely manner.
Wonderful product, great price!
From choosing a product, designing and customizing, and final shipment everything is a breeze!! Customer service could not be more prompt or helpful. Will definitely be using them next year!!!
A lot of information on a small magnet
The website was a bit of a challenge. It would have been nice to be able to pull up our design from last year to use our downloaded logo, etc... Also, when using our key to input the things on a specific day, (R = Report Cards go home), I had to redo this page no less than 3 times because, even though I was hitting save, I guess I was not hitting it right. So, getting the magnet to be the way I wanted it took a lot longer than I would have liked but, in the end, they look great!
My daughter's school PTA ordered these calendar magnets to sell as a fundraiser. The magnets were beautiful. What are a excellent product - having the school's schedule so close at hand is a lifesaver.
