Pine Bluff has received a $24,000 grant to continue renovations on a historic theater that once hosted Harry Houdini and Judy Garland.
The Arkansas Historic Preservation Program grant will pay for repairs to the roof of the Saenger Theatre. The city and a nonprofit organization are providing $12,000 in matching funds.
Built in 1924, the Saenger Theatre was known as "The Showplace of the South." According to the Encyclopedia of Arkansas, the theater closed in 1975 because there was more demand for theaters in shopping malls, rather than downtown.
The theater was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports (http://bit.ly/10WeXo2 ) $89,000 has been spent over the past two years on renovations but more funding will be needed before the theater can reopen.

Feb. 10, 2013
Recap | Box Score | Photo Gallery 1 | Photo Gallery 2 | Photo Gallery 3
Arizona head coach Sean Miller
On loss to California:
"I give Cal tremendous credit. They did a great job. That's the best job that anyone has played against our defense when you look at what they shot from the field, 59 percent. They had 30 field goals, which I know is a high. I don't believe any team has come close to making 30 shots against our defense. They did an incredible job. They really spread our defense out. Sometimes a special player like Allen Crabbe can have a special night. That's exactly what he had. There a couple of shots at the clock that were challenged and he knocked them in. When you have a guy on the other team that plays that well, it puts a lot of pressure on your ability to win. I also think [Justin] Cobbs was incredible as well. They collectively get 52 points of their team's points. We had no answer. They came into McKale and got the job done. They deserve all the credit."
On Cal switching to the two-three zone in the second half:
"They played a little bit of it in the first half and it caught us a little off guard. Not that we weren't expecting them to be able to play. We talked about it in the first half and we talked about it at halftime. But the first four minutes of the second half, they went on a 16-2 run. We took ill-advised shots. It looked as if we had no idea what we were doing for that brief three minute period. I called a timeout to try to settle us in but it wasn't until after that first media timeout that, although we weren't perfect, at the end of the day if you look at what we did on offense, we did good things. We played with only nine turnovers. We got 24 free throw attempts none of which happened because we were winning. I think what we didn't do is convert as well from the foul line. We have 24 free throws and make 16. One of our team strengths is free throw shooting. You make that number 76 percent instead of 66 percent, that's what we've shot this season, we might have left with a hard fought win. No question about it we looked uncomfortable at times against the zone. Then there were times that we did a really good job. We made shots, got fouled, and had some open threes. But it was those first three minutes of the second half that the combination of their offense and that zone that really put them on a run that at that point we were playing catch up."
On whether or not Cal's offense won the game:
"I'm sure we had something to do with it. No doubt there were four or five shots that they needed to make to win the game and they made every shot. From our perspective, I give Cal tremendous credit. They played the best against our defense as any team has played all season. That's our team strength. When you lose a game like we've lost tonight, there is usually something you do well that is missing. I think their numbers of 59 percent from the field and 13 turnovers and all the great things that they did on offense is a big credit to them."
Arizona Player Quotes
Senior Forward Solomon Hill
On Cal's zone defense:
"They got open shots on offense and came out scoring. We let the zone affect us and didn't get the ball movement that we needed. When you don't get things rolling on the offensive end, it takes you mentally away from the game. Their zone defense isn't something that should affect us but it did. You're going to make and miss shots but defense is something you need to do every game."
On what went wrong:
"We haven't really run into 3-2 zones like we did tonight. We didn't pass the ball and get moving, every shot was a one-on-one shot and we could have taken an extra pass to find the open guy who would have a better shot. You have to go out and be able to match the intensity of the other team and I don't think we did that tonight."
On importance of playing well down the stretch:
"It's very important. Home games like UCLA and Cal are games that are going to come back and bite us. I don't think any teams expect to sweep on the road so the most important thing is to win at home. This next road trip is something that's going to be big for us because we expect more out of ourselves defensively. Colorado and Utah especially are defensive minded teams and are going to make you play their game. We have to watch a lot of film to prepare for it and be ready for it instead of just saying it. Once guys like Allen [Crabbe] get going, it's something you have to jump on early and stop and we didn't do that tonight."
Senior G/F Kevin Parrom
On effects of zone defense:
"We haven't seen zone in a while so it threw us off. I could have played better in the middle but I have to get ready for the next game now. We have Colorado coming up and they won't be throwing zone at us as much as Cal did. My teammates and I are moving on and we're going to be ready for the next game."
On defensive changes on the floor:
"We have the ability to make changes while on the floor. Allen [Crabbe] is 6'6 and could shoot the ball so it was a call that we could have made to switch up our matchups. Nick [Johnson] tried his best and gave all his effort, which he always does, but it was a call that Solomon [Hill] or myself should have made to change guard assignments because of our height advantage."

Poetry Slam: BofA's Ken Lewis Gets Introspective in Japan
Meanwhile, over in Tokyo, Ken Lewis was reciting poetry….
Only a few hours after Federal Judge Jed S. Rakoff swatted down the $33 million settlement between Bank of America and the Securities and Exchange Commission, the bank chief took the stage and addressed a conference of Japanese investors. Lewis's speech, which was prepared ahead of the judge's ruling, included a very rosy assessment of the Merrill Lynch-BofA merger and a smattering of Japanese proverbs.
"I've been told there's a Japanese proverb that says, "Vision without action is a daydream…action without vision is a nightmare," Lewis told the crowd, according to a copy of the speech.
He added later: "I began my tenure as CEO of this company with a vision for a global, integrated, multi-product financial services company. Since then, we've consistently taken actions to build and combine our businesses – consumer and commercial banking, investment banking and wealth management – in ways that create value for our customers and clients. Merrill Lynch will help bring this vision to life."
Proverbs aside, the $50 billion BofA-Merrill merger continues to be a nightmare, especially for Lewis. The WSJ reports today that New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is weighing civil fraud charges against Lewis and BofA's finance chief, Joseph Price.
Rakoff said in his ruling that the public has a right to know why BofA executives approved $5.8 billion in Merrill bonuses, after the Wall Street securities firm posted a $27.6 billion loss in 2008, and didn't tell BofA shareholders about it. Rakoff has scheduled a trial for Feb. 1, which means Lewis may again be dragged out for a public airing of the Merrill deal, just as he was dragged before Congress this summer.
But Lewis remains ever the optimist and good-humored survivor:
"There's another Japanese proverb that brings the lesson about vision and action into perfect focus for me. The proverb is: "Money grows on the tree of persistence. Now, when I was a boy growing up in America, we were always taught that 'money doesn't grow on trees.' That was the grown-ups' way of teaching us the value of money. There should be a new version: 'Money doesn't grow on over-leveraged homes in an inflated real-estate market.' I guess it's too late for that one. But I like the image of a tree of persistence…a symbol of the steady effort, even through the worst of times and the most painful experiences…that enables us to turn our vision and action into real achievement."
And to think that Judge Rakoff suggested in his ruling that BofA was cynical for trying to settle quickly with the SEC and put the Merrill bonus embarrassment behind them. Perhaps Lewis will fare better in Rakoff courtroom if he spoke in haikus.

Updates to the Long-Term Market Outlooks
Jason Haver
Both the bull and bear potentials currently remain viable. Here are some signs to watch.
It's been about a month since I updated the long-term charts, and there has been at least one significant development since then. Last time we looked at the long-term, there was still potential for two versions of the bearish count. Since then, the alternate version of that count has been eliminated, so that allows me to narrow the long-term outlook down to two high probability potentials.
Let's look at the bear version first, since a lot of folks are wondering if the potential exists for a meaningful turn in the near future. Indeed that potential does exist, as green wave iv would need to retrace back into the price territory of green wave i for this pattern to remain valid. Ultimately this wave count would still see one more new high before a long-term turn. Given the deteriorating situation in Europe, this count does not seem at all unreasonable from a fundamental perspective.
If the rally continues unabated, to the point where the two red trend lines which bound the diagonal no longer can be drawn as converging, we'll have our first real clue that the more bullish count (shown next) is gaining real favor. At present, however, both counts remain viable -- so this bearish possibility does suggest that bulls should exercise real caution at current price levels.

Next is the long-term bullish interpretation of the wave structure. Note that this count also suggests that price is nearing a peak, however this interpretation suggests a much smaller peak and turn in red wave 4. If this is the market's intention, we normally would not expect to see red wave 4 break below the 1485 zone. This count would suggest an ongoing bull leg, with only corrections along the way.
Click to enlarge
While both options presently remain viable, the next few weeks may allow us to eliminate one or the other. Stay tuned... Moving on to the more near-term, on Friday the
(INDEXSP:.INX) cleared the 1550 level, and has thus declared that it is more likely to be in the midst of forming a five-wave impulsive move to the upside. As I noted on Thursday, there is no "true" invalidation level for the proposed expanded flat, so it remains an outside possibility -- but odds are against that pattern now, so it has lost the weight required to continue justifying its own separate chart, and is instead merely noted with the black "alt: (a)/(b)/(c)" labels on the chart below. The market may be in the throes of a smaller degree fourth wave consolidation (not labeled), so may move sideways a bit before wrapping up red 3. Do please note the caveat on the chart annotation.

Finally, a quick update to the near-term trend line chart.
Click to enlarge
In conclusion, there's an old Chinese proverb that translates: "May you live in interesting times." These are interesting times indeed, and for the moment, the long-term bull and bear potentials both remain viable. Over the near-term, it does appear more probable that the market will do a bit of backing and filling before advancing again into the wave 5 target zone. Sustained trade below 1525 would now be the first clue that something more bearish was unfolding. Trade safe.

College Hockey:Palmer, Returning Effinger Lead Miami Over OSU
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Sometimes, an opponent's worth isn't measured by wins and losses so much as personal history. Friday, when No. 4 Miami beat unranked Ohio State 5-2, the RedHawks felt like it was a win they had to earn.
"Any time you play four times a year — sometimes five, sometimes six — Ohio State and the history that they've had [with] five years in a row at the NCAA, they're the team to beat for us."
So said last year's Spencer Penrose winner, Miami head coach Enrico Blasi, whose first-place RedHawks were six points ahead of the Buckeyes going into this contest.
Even though the 'Hawks beat the Bucks three of four games last season, including the Valentine's Day game that clinched the regular-season championship for Miami, this is not a series the RedHawks take lightly.
"Over the last seven-and-a-half years that I've been here, the rivalry has gotten pretty good," said Blasi. "The coaching staff know each other pretty well and have a lot of respect for each other. You know the week of preparation is going to be intense.
"I know it wasn't a one-goal game, but it sure felt like it."
Miami freshman Jarod Palmer led the RedHawks in scoring with two goals and an assist, and junior goaltender Charlie Effinger made 25 saves in his first game since Nov. 10. Effinger was out with mononucleosis.
Blasi said that the Miami coaches don't think of Palmer as a freshman.
"He's been playing like that from Day One. First game against Denver, he was unbelievable. He's one of those older freshmen that just understands the game. He's a gamer. He plays hard. There are very times when he doesn't come out of a scrum with the puck. He's just one of those guys … there's a magnet on his stick or something."
As for Effinger's performance in his return, that's just typical of the commitment of Division I athletes, said Blasi.
"To Effie's credit — and Effie's just one example — but these kids, these Division I hockey players — whether it's Ohio State, or Miami, or whoever — they work so hard during the week, they work so hard in the summer, when things like this happen, you can see them bounce back."
After a scoreless first period, the RedHawks and the Buckeyes exchanged a pair of goals within the first two minutes of the second, and Palmer's first of the night gave Miami a 2-1 lead after the middle stanza.
Alec Martinez scored on the Miami power play at 1:33 in the second, sending the puck through traffic from near the blue line and beating OSU goaltender Joseph Palmer clean for the 1-0 lead. Mathieu Piccard answered for the Buckeyes less than a minute later on a two-on-two the other way.
Miami's Palmer made it 2-1 at 11:23, picking up Justin Mercier's rebound when it bounced out of Joseph Palmer's glove.
Marty Guerin gave Miami a two-goal lead at 1:03 in the third when he plucked Jarod Palmer's centering pass out of mid-air and scored while being driven into the net by a Buckeye defender.
At 6:38 in the third, Palmer notched his second of the night and seventh of the season when he capitalized on Guerin's initial shot, giving the RedHawks a 4-1 lead. That goal was the end for OSU's Joseph Palmer, who was replaced in net by Nick Filion.
The goalie switch was "just a momentum swing," said OSU head coach John Markell. "Nick went in there and he's ready to go."
The strategy worked — briefly — as the Buckeyes scored less than a minute later to cut the Miami lead to two again on a beautiful, unassisted, top-shelf effort by Tommy Goebels, but that was all the offense OSU would muster. Miami captain Ryan Jones got the empty-netter with three seconds left.
Markell said that the Buckeyes were showing the after-effects of final exams at Ohio State. "Do I think we were a good skating team tonight? No. I think we showed the effects of not having a practice all week where the guys were totally there. We were in exams. It shows what it takes out of you to get it done right in the classroom. I don't think we were as crisp in our skating and our puck handling and things like that."
Effinger finished the night with 25 saves and held the Buckeyes scoreless in five power-play chances. Joseph Palmer finished with 18 saves in the loss, while Filion saved the only shot he saw. Miami was 1-for-7 with the man advantage.
OSU (5-9-3, 5-6-2 CCHA) travels to Oxford Saturday to face Miami (14-5-0, 10-3-0) again. Both coaches said that they saw room for improvement for the rematch.
"We have to be a little bit better, a little bit smarter against a team like that," said Markell. "They're ranked fourth in the nation for a reason, and we saw some of the reasons why tonight. Now we're going to have to take it on the road and try to do a better job of competing against what they do well."
Said Blasi, "For us it's a daily grind to improve. We've still got to take care of the puck. There's things on our forecheck that we can still work on, our D-zone that — by no means have we played a perfect game. We'll continue to watch tape and teach and try to make sure our guys are improving every day. That's our goal. The day we stop improving is the day that we'll play that perfect game, and hopefully it's in March."
Jeff Zatkoff will likely start for the RedHawks, said Blasi, while the Buckeyes will review tape and make a decision regarding their starter before the game, said Markell.
The puck drops at 8:05 p.m. in Steve Cady Arena for the second game.

Meet the new car, (not the) same as the old car
The vehicle to the right there probably doesn't strike anyone as being particularly significant; for the most part it's not. Just a basic early 21st century compact Compact Sport Utility Vehicle (CUV or SUV), not too different from half a dozen other similar vehicles we see about a thousand times a day on the streets of our fair cities, 'burbs, and rural roads. Just a fairly basic 2014 Subaru Forester 2.5i.
It has a couple distinctions though. For one thing, it was Motor Trend's 2014 SUV of the Year:
The Forester combines the practicality of a small, wisely engineered SUV with the fun enthusiasts will enjoy. . .The Forester has the right combination of attributes for many SUV buyers, and seems to do the impossible: It has more power than before, with better fuel economy, is fun to drive, offers generous ground clearance, and achieves all this at reasonable prices. The Forester isn't a wagon anymore. When a vehicle does this much and does it this well, it truly earns the title of Motor Trend's 2014 Sport/Utility Vehicle of the Year.
So it's a decent little SUV. And as a matter of fact, it is now not only my primary vehicle, but the final contestant in an almost year-long search for something to take me into the field and back, albeit not quite at the sub-$10k amount I'd intended.
Even more than that, this thing has the distinction of being the first vehicle I've purchased since George Bush was president.
That would be George H.W. Bush.
At any rate, you may recall from my previous post on the subject that said vehicle had to meet certain characteristics determined by the rigors of archaeological field work:
-- Must be 4WD available
-- Must have reasonable and secureable cargo space
-- Must have some room behind the front seats
-- Decent ground clearance
I was willing to negotiate on some of those, depending on the cool factor. And I almost did. Ferinstance, an acquaintance whose name will go unmentioned *cough*Hafner*cough* mentioned that he might be selling his Audi S6 which almost immediately caught my Car Lust fancy. AWD? Check. Lots of cargo space? Check. Ground clearance? Welllll. . . . . .like I said, some things can be negotiated. Then again, a finicky high-maintenance import (not to mention premium gas and, oh, 16 mpgs on a good day) cause a bit of second-guessing. In the end, it was held in abeyance, ultimately for too long to be really under serious consideration.
The other major factor to consider here was the Spousal Unit. As Spousal Units go, she was pretty typical: "What do you need that for?" ("But. . .but. . .340 horsepower!") And it had to be used because one of the Prime Directives was that I would not be taking a new car into the field. See, I figured taking it out that first time would get the first ding or scratch out of the way right off the bat and then no worries after that. Alas, such impeccable logic seems to be largely linked to the Y-chromosome.
In essence, I had two options open to me: get something that we would both be happy with and could both drive, or something pretty much field-only. The upshot was that if I went with the latter option I could get off for a few thousand dollars and something reasonably cool (Helloooo, El Camino); for the former, we'd have something more practical and more spendey. What to do?
One event kind of sealed the deal: One day not too long ago her trusty Civic started misfiring on her way home and I ended up getting a call to come get her at the mechanic's a few blocks away. It turned out to be not a big deal -- plugs and wires needed replacing -- but it (pardon the pun) drove home the point that it was still a 17-year old car and starting to reach the point where things would start to go wrong. I'm okay with that (duh, with a 1970s American car I'm surprised when something isn't broken) but she relies on it for commuting daily. Hence, I found I had to set my Car Lust sensibilities aside and look for something modern and reliable (Goodbyyyyye, El Camino).
And so, for the first time since 1990, I girded my loins and entered the world of automobile sales. We had a couple of rules: Had to be 2010 or later, SUV-ish, and reasonable mileage. Following are a few of the contenders with a snarky comment or two:
My first thought was a previous-generation Ford Escape:
Lots of people around here have them and I like the cut of its jib, as it were. It kind of fell by the wayside when I learned of its rear drum brakes (Drum brakes? Really?) and an apparent proclivity to lose its transmission at around 60k miles. Still, it would have looked great out in The Field.
Ah yes, the Rav4. Solid, good reliability and some of them even have a V6! Sadly, up until the latest version it had a swing-out gate in the back. That's bad. Why? When one is on uneven terrain it has a tendency to either close or open on its own depending on the angle you're sitting at. And it doesn't give you a little break from the rain like a lift gate does (see, lots of little things matter out in the field). I couldn't find any really low-mileage used versions of the new ones, so that went out as well.
The venerable Honda CRV. This one almost made the final cut. Matter of fact I was on the verge of buying one and probably would have if someone hadn't snagged it first -- found one with 49 miles on it that they were selling as used for various reasons. I even test drove a 2012. We have one Honda and it's been super reliable and the CRV had all the right bells and whistles. A couple things held me back: my fellow contributors who had experience with them didn't like their 4x4 capabilities, and. . .well, it didn't feel as 'tight' driving it as the Forester did. The AWD system probably would have been adequate for most driving, but we do get into roughish terrain every now and then so I really wanted something reasonably capable. And I trust these guys' judgement. As far as the 'tightness' goes, the CRV felt more like I was maneuvering it rather than driving it. And, if I'm honest, I liked the looks of the previous generation (thru 2011) better. Plus they're as common as dirt around here.
An Acura RDX. Seriously! A dealer nearby had a 2012 with very low mileage and in my price range. That was the first one I test drove, too (I just couldn't help myself). Mama mia, that was nice. Great interior, drove like a car, about the same space as a CRV. Yeah, man, I'd be BMOS (Big Man On Site) driving up in that thing. Sadly, that all came at a price: like 16 mpgs and premium gas to go with that nice turbo 4. Hence, not exactly economical.
But I still managed to come up with a whole host of reasons why none of that really mattered.
The aforementioned Audi S6. Yes, I was seriously considering it. Given all the priorities above, one might wonder why. Well, the seller was trustworthy and I knew he wouldn't rip me off price-wise or with a (known) lemon. And you know, at the price we were batting around, the 16 mpgs and premium gas would probably take a few years to catch up to it. And besides. . . .it has 340 horsepowers. Plus tons of room and legendary Quattro AWD. Not the best ground clearance and apparently they break rather easily and cost a lot to fix, but. . .did I mention it has 340 horsepowers?
Lastly, had I been left to my own devices, I probably would have ended up with a Nissan Xterra. I love these. Still mostly a truck and it looks the part, plus it's probably the most capable off-roader of the bunch. And it's really designed for this sort of work. Alas, the Spousal Unit was rather adamant that it was too big and clunky. I think it would have been perfect were it just me driving it all the time, but it wouldn't have made the best commuter vehicle. Still, I can think. . . .what if. . . .
There were some others that caught my fancy momentarily. One dealer had a nice VW Tiguan for an excellent price, but its cargo capacity was way too small. There was also a white Mistubishi Outlander that would have worked well and I was dying to buy it just so I could put a rising sun decal on each door but it had too many miles on it for its year.
And so, I ended up at the Subaru dealer. They had a couple of low-mileage loaners for a bit over my price range, but they had everything I needed: good cargo capacity, very good mileage, stupidly reliable, and short of a true 4x4 truck one of the better AWD systems. I test drove it and it drove really well, almost car like, much more so than the CRV. And that flat four boxer engine has probably got a million miles in it. And now it sits in my driveway, my first car in 24 years and really the first 'new' car I've ever owned.
As much as I love my Mustang II, at least now I won't feel guilty loading it up with shovels and screens and junk and driving it on gravel roads and hoping it doesn't rain because it has a couple of small leaks. Not to mention going deaf after driving it on the highway for an hour or two.
And so it sits quietly in the garage, now entering its golden years of retirement. I'm planning on keeping it. It's been to a couple of Mustang shows already and gotten two 1st Place trophys, and that while being a daily driver, not to mention being used as a field vehicle every now and then. I'm really looking forward to being able to clean every nook and cranny of it knowing it won't be dirty again the next time I take it on a job. I'm looking forward to giving it the care it deserves after serving me well for the last 24 years. My only fear is that the longer it sits in there not being driven the less I'll think of it, and the memories of what it's like to drive start to slip away, as memories sometimes do. I can't imagine it not being a part of my life, and I don't want to imagine not imagining it either. So we'll see.
Oh, and the Forester doesn't have a name and isn't going to get one either!
