How Stocks React to Geopolitical Uncertainty
An escalation of tensions between Russia and Ukraine roiled global markets Monday, but if history is any indication, the declines may be short-lived.
Stocks have a propensity for getting hit hard immediately following a renewed flare up in geopolitical tensions. Monday has been no different, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 226 points, or 1.4%, to 16094. The drop followed sharp declines overseas, with Russian stocks suffering the steepest losses.

The Market Vectors Russia ETF Trust (ticker symbol RSX) dropped 9% to $22.25, on more than three times its average daily trading volume, according to FactSet.
The question now is how much longer will the selloff last. While its still early and there are plenty of unknowns, a look to the past as a guide for potential future performance offers a somewhat calming picture for the U.S. markets.
Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ, conducted a broad study last year of how U.S. stocks reacted since World War II to anything ranging from wars, near wars, assassinations, assassination attempts, terrorist attacks and financial collapses. In the 14 examples he cited, he found a running theme: Stocks initially sold off, but then didn't take long to rebound and recover those losses. The chart below, courtesy of S&P Capital IQ, expands upon those examples.
In recent years, three separate examples tell a similar story.
In August 2008, the Russia-Georgia War didn't have much of a lasting impact on U.S. stocks. The S&P 500 dropped 1.8% on Aug. 7, 2008, the first day of the war. But the market regained those losses the very next day and traded higher for the next month. The major caveat is the war took place barely more than a month before Lehman filed for bankruptcy and Merrill Lynch was sold to Bank of America, moves that ultimately sent the financial crisis to new depths and prompted steep stock-market losses.
The Arab Spring began in December 2010 and ultimately led to the ouster of leaders in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and Yemen, among others. It didn't have a profound impact on U.S. stocks. The S&P 500 kept rallying through the end of that year and into February 2011.
And as recently as last summer, Syria's use of chemical weapons prompted a brief spat of volatility in the markets. The S&P 500 slumped 3.1% in August, but again the decline didn't last long. The index rallied 3.8% and finished the year up 30% at a record high.
The bottom line about Ukraine and the U.S. markets, at least with regard to information currently available, is any future selloffs could be steep, but they will likely be short-lived.
"Last week major markets ignored the situation based on the assumption that it will be contained," said David Kotok, president of Cumberland Advisors, which manages about $2 billion in Sarasota, Fla. "The U.S. stock market reached a new high in the midst of the evolution of events. That advance is now in question, and the question may provide an entry opportunity."

I was very disappointed with this drying rack. I bought it as a gift for my boyfriend who lives off the grid and has to hang dry his laundry. I used to have one of these racks and remember it as being alot larger. This one is cute and works but its really small. Its good for baby clothes and socks. It am unhappy with its size, but its made pretty well.

Government Creates "Underclass" For It's Own Purposes
The following was submitted by Al Kappenberger, from the Coalition of Eastern Shore Progressives:
Some thoughts on corporate exploitation and creation of the "underclass worker", who take American jobs:
Consider how our government, being totally controlled by corporate money, will use money to further its own ends. It will always utilize every legislative avenue and public relations resource it can control, to perpetuate the belief that undocumented workers must be identified and deported, in order to prevent them from taking jobs from American citizens, who could do these jobs themselves. This is willfully creating an "underclass" in America. Consider, too, that you hear all too often of businesses hiring undocumented workers with little or no attempt to verify their legal status. Law enforcement regularly looks the other way.
I believe there is more going on here than what would seem obvious. You should also consider why it is that the undocumented worker will be hired over the legally documented worker, with similar qualifications. The obvious answer is that they will accept work for far lower wages. Why? It is the very fact that they are an illegal "underclass", having no legal rights or political power, that keeps their wages down. In truth, this actually gives this "illegal underclass" a form of "power" that allows them to take a job from someone who expects to receive a higher pay.
It is in the interest of the business, who use unskilled workers, to do everything they can, to see that "undocumented" remain an underclass. If, on the other hand, the "undocumented" were treated the same as citizens, with full access to all services, and with complete access to petition our government, their wages and status would then rise to equal that of the rest of us. The "undocumented" worker would eventually loose this "power" to take American jobs for lower wages.
As I see it, doing everything the government and business can do to perpetuate an underclass to exploit, is the very thing that is allowing them to take American jobs! Every undocumented worker is a "person" and part of our economy, in every way. All each one lacks is a piece of paper identifying that he is a US citizen. What makes him a member of the underclass is nothing more than where he happened to be born! Examples of these efforts on the part of our government, to perpetuate this exploitable underclass, is the move to deprive them of something as basic as a drivers license and the outrageous "papers, please" legislation being promoted in many States. These are not efforts to protect the "legal" worker, but rather, are parts of the continuing effort to perpetuate an underclass for business to exploit! An occasional raid by immigration officials, to round up and deport a few undocumented workers, is a necessary part of the strategy!

For thousands who crowded the MSU auditorium Monday, Ron Paul is not just their pick for president. He's their idol.
"I love Ron Paul!" one student exclaimed while waiting to get into the auditorium.
"When I'm 76, I want to be just like him, running for president and inspiring other people," said Yuri Mayorchak, a local realtor.
"The other three candidates act like three blind mice as if they cannot find their copy of the constitution and they can't find Article I Section 8 which outlines the things federal government can do," said Chuck Geshlider, another supporter.
The congressman kept his campaign message short and sweet.
"I settled for one word, and that is liberty," he said to a crowd of more than 3800 people.
And every word out of his mouth was music to their ears. The energy and passion his supporters had was loud, intense, and unmistakable.
But before he took the state Dr. Paul caught up with us one-on-one.
"If you build a bomb or a weapon or a drone missile and it gets blown up, what do you have for all your effort? Nothing. But if you spend that same amount of money here and you build a house, or to provide medical care, you acutally increase the standard of living. Right now the way we're going, medicare and medicaid, they're all going to fail because the debt is unsustainable," he said.
Student organizers said they were optimistic about the primary. They think the student vote could make a big difference and hope all those who showed up to hear him speak Monday will turn up to the polls Tuesday as well.

Message from Mary Loyer, School Founder
Ten years ago, in celebration of the 30th anniversary, I was asked to write about LMS and how it all began:
Thirty years? Thirty years! I think I have to go lie down in a darkened room with a cold cloth on my head. How did we suddenly go from a tenuous but hopeful meeting in my dining room to start a carpool to a sturdy thriving school? How did the young daughter who inspired me get to be the age I was when I started the school? Where have the years gone?
My love affair with Montessori began in February of 1969. I sat behind a one-way mirror on the stage at the end of a huge room. Sixty children, two teachers and two aides moved happily and busily about the room and I was mesmerized. They were so engrossed in what they were doing; so helpful with each other; so joyful. I knew that I wanted that experience for my own daughters. As we moved around, they attended three schools in three years - all with the same beautiful materials, the same serene philosophy. When our family came to Litchfield in 1971, I enrolled our daughters in the Washington Montessori School. As we got to know families in the area, they became interested in where my children were going to school. A few wanted to know more about Montessori.
I was looking for a carpool. The daily drive to the Marsh horse farm where the school was located was getting to be a drag. In March of 1972, I invited the teacher to bring some materials to my house. I gathered a few friends to see what Montessori was all about. Every person there was so impressed and excited that they wanted to share this idea with other friends. A few weeks later over twenty families met and a school was born. In a matter of a few months we created a board of trustees, wrote a set of by-laws, became a tax exempt corporation, found a teacher, enrolled students, ordered materials from Holland and opened with thirteen students in September of 1972 in the Church House at St. Michael's with Diane Truscio as the first teacher.
A lot happened in the seven years that I was involved. In the second year, we added a second classroom. In the third year, we added a junior class, which traveled to the Washington Montessori School every day because we didn't have enough space and we added a class in Watertown. In the fourth year, we moved to the old Litchfield Prep School (now RESCUE) and camped out. In the fifth and sixth years, we moved to Wisdom House and finally in 1978, we moved to Northfield, added an upper elementary class and continued in Watertown.
Until the school moved to its present location, every summer, every thing in every classroom had to be boxed up, moved out and stored. Every summer, parents would faithfully wait to hear where the school would be the following fall. And still the school kept growing. A Montessori education speaks to the whole family. The loyalty, love and interest of those involved with the school keep it alive year after year. The feeling of being part of something very special that the school inspires in every family and student is still evident today. And now, the Litchfield Montessori School is ready for the next thirty years.
My love affair with Montessori still continues and I am grateful for the opportunity to celebrate the many wonderful (and sometimes not so wonderful) changes during the past ten years. The most exciting changes have been the addition of the YPC and the Middle School programs. We are now able to serve children from 15 months to 15 years. This has created some real space challenges which Anne-Marie Fenn and now Paul Horovitz and the staff continue to meet with amazing ingenuity. I personally think the building has elastic walls. In these uncertain economic times, these additions increase the breadth of our student body. Even more importantly, these programs will increase knowledge of the Montessori philosophy and broaden the Montessori education offered at LMS.
LMS is blessed with a knowledgeable and committed parent group, dedicated staff and administration, and an incredibly strong and supportive board of trustees. What I said ten years ago still holds true, "A Montessori education speaks to the whole family. The loyalty, love and interest of those involved with the school keep it alive year after year. The feeling of being part of something very special that the school inspires in every family and student is still evident today." Litchfield Montessori School is a very special place that has touched the lives of over 4000 people - children, families, volunteers and trustees - over the past forty years. I frequently meet people today who share with me the profound impact that our school has had on their children and on their whole family.
Congratulations and best wishes to you all. You are the heart and soul of the school. I could not be prouder of what the Litchfield Montessori School has become.

Founder, Board president, Trustee

Molly is excited for Valentine's Day. She has this idea in her head that this is a big holiday. So does Charlotte for that matter. She wanted to know why there is school on Valentine's Day, and when David told her that it wasn't really a holiday over dinner the other night she shot him quite the look.
When I was growing up on Tulip Grove Drive my bus stop was at the end of my driveway. When the bus came it was literally door to door. I remember getting excited every year looking out the bus window upon my arrival home at the appearance of the big red cardboard heart taped to the inside of the storm door window.
Every pink heart and doily made me anticipate the big day. Maybe I would have a secret admirer. Maybe a box of chocolates would appear in my desk at school. Or flowers in a long white box with a giant red bow tied around it. How great would that be!
I made valentines for all of my classmates. I still remember the year that I signed "Love Erin" to everyone's cards. I was accused of having crushes on every boy. I was mortified and knew from then on I would simply sign just my name. Never again would I use "love" so frivolously.
I was always a romantic. Even watching "The Love Boat" on Saturday nights. When there would be a moonlight kissing scene, I just gushed. I would watch the woman's lip-glossed mouth and the way the lovebirds would gaze at each other and dream of the day when I too would be in "love." Would I be presented with a box from a jewelry store along with my giant heart of candy and long-stemmed roses? Or a fancy dinner perhaps in a red checkered table clothed restaurant?
I did give my love frivolously as I got older. I fell for the wrong men exactly twice. And a few Valentine's Days were spent alone waiting for a flower delivery that never came. There were a few really good ones in between, but just not with my true love. When I was younger, I still knew he was out there. He just had not arrived.
Before kids, David and I shared many great Valentine's Days. I got my fancy dinners and flower deliveries, cards and even a box from a jewelry store. After kids... well... you know how that goes. Dinners home complete with kids begging for a bite. The boxes of flowers replaced with a supermarket bouquet, which really I prefer. They have been the best of my life.
Now my girls get excited when they see our red cardboard heart taped to the door. Helping them fill out their cards now replaces my own Valentine's Day planning.
With a strict insistence that they just sign their name and not use that word "love" so frivolously.

Hi guys.. been super busy with my other projects and startups but you were all right. Amazon changed their API and it required additional things and that's why the search wasn't working.
I updated the app now so now it work again.
I also improved the smoothing on the bitmaps when they are resized so now some of the resized imagery used for the cover won't be a bit rough when resized and it will look really smooth.

'I want some answers from somebody!'
Roshonda Cole says she's fed up with random gunshots being fired in the neighborhood where her parents live.
'My mother has 21 grandkids. They can't come out here to play. They can't walk the street. They can't even go to the store because young men are out here shooting every day.'
When shots were fired Tuesday night Cole says both her parents were inside their house asleep.
In all, Cole says at least 9 bullets were fired at her parent's house. Some hit a vehicle outside, others hit the top of the porch, front windows. Two even destroyed a large television that was in a front room. Since the shots were fired, Cole says bullet casings have been found near the house.
'It was a nice neighborhood when I moved here, but now it ain't,' says Zeno Darden. He has lived in the same house on 25th Avenue 25 years. He stays two doors down from where the shots were fired. He says gunshots in the area have become common, and this concerns him.
'A bullet doesn't have no name on it. They can be aiming at you and hit me,' says Darden.
'The gang violence needs to stop!' says Cole. 'I am not afraid to speak out, and if it does not stop I will go to the mayor, the Meridian Police Department. I will talk to someone and I will give out some names!'
No one was hurt by Tuesday night's gunfire.
Cole says Meridian Police have been alerted about the shots being fired. Newscenter 11 has contacted officials with the Meridian Police Department about the matter. As of 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon we had not received a response.

Morning Briefing: Polish Rate Cut Likely, Czech Government Eyed
- Local/GMT
- N/A Polish interest rate decision
- N/A Czech govt meets with coalition partners on future
- 0900/0800 Czech CPI, Unemployment in December
- 0900/0800 Hungary November trade balance
- 1200/1100 Czech finance ministry bond auctions
The Polish central bank will likely extend central Europe's monetary easing trend Wednesday with a cut to interest rates to support the slowing economy, while in Prague the embattled government's future should become clearer.
Economists broadly expect rate setters in Warsaw to reduce the bank's benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 4% as Polish gross domestic product slowed sharply to 1.4% on year in the third quarter from 2.3% in the second.
Central Europe's economies are struggling amid slack domestic demand and rising unemployment while export growth slows due to the economic difficulties in the euro zone, the largest trading partner of central European countries.
The Polish central bank reduced interest rates in November and December, both times by 25 basis points, and investors will be watching for indications whether more policy easing may follow.
Central bankers in Hungary and the Czech Republic, countries which are both in recession, have also been easing monetary conditions in recent months.
The Czechs lowered their key rate to 0.05%, and with standard policy measures largely exhausted, the central bank says it is likely to sell the koruna on foreign exchange markets at some point in coming months to weaken the currency and boost exports.
Also in Prague Wednesday, uncertainty around the three-party governing coalition could be lifted if the Liberal Democrat party, or LIDEM, the smallest member of the coalition, agrees to stay in government. The party is due to hold internal talks late Tuesday to set out its preconditions for remaining in the coalition.
Late last year LIDEM threatened to quit the government amid a row with Prime Minister Petr Necas over ministerial posts.
The Civic Democrats, or ODS, and TOP 09–which are the senior parties in the coalition–have already said they would like to continue governing with LIDEM.
Joint negotiations on the future of the cabinet and possibly a new coalition agreement are likely to follow in coming days pending LIDEM's announcement.
POLAND: Telekomunikacja Polska, Poland's largest telecommunications company, is looking for an advisor for the sale of its Wirtualna Polska web portal, Reuters reported Tuesday citing unnamed sources.
CZECH REPUBLIC: Czech Liberal Democrats, or LIDEM, the smallest member in the country's three-party center-right coalition, decided to stay in the government, bringing to an end weeks of concerns over the cabinet collapse, the party's spokesman Milos Skacel said Tuesday.
"The regional council of LIDEM has decided to cancel its resolution from December calling on LIDEM ministers to quit the government by January 10th," Mr. Skacel said by telephone.
HUNGARY: Hungary's preliminary 2012 central budget deficit came to 2.1% of gross domestic product, not including the balance of municipalities, the economy ministry said Tuesday.
This data is different from the final reading under European Union methodology, which will be published in March, the ministry said, adding that this is a "good basis" for the 2.7% of GDP target for 2012 to be reached.

FoodFacts.com is always thrilled to hear about how food can have positive effects on our health. For us, it's always been about how our diet can affect our well-being. Our community members know how we feel about packaged, prepared foods and artificial, controversial ingredients. Today, we want to share with you some news about some simple fruits that might actually make a world of difference to your cardiovascular health.
Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health in the United States and the University of East Anglia, United Kingdom conducted a study among over 90,000 women between the ages 25 and 42. The women completed questionnaires about their diet every four years for 18 years.
During the study, 405 heart attacks occurred. Those women who ate the most blueberries and strawberries had a 32% reduction in their risk of heart attack compared to women who ate the berries once a month or less. This was true even for women who ate an otherwise healthy diet rich in fruit and other vegetables.
Women who ate at least three servings of blueberries and strawberries each week had fewer heart attacks than those who did not incorporate these fruits into their diets at the same levels. Blueberries and strawberries contain high levels of compounds that have cardiovascular benefits.
Dietary flavonoids are found in high levels in both blueberries and strawberries. In addition, they are contained in grapes, wine, blackberries, and eggplant. Flavonoids have acknowledged cardiovascular benefits. In addition, there is a sub-class of flavonoids – anthocyanins – that might help to dilate arteries and counter the effects of plaque build up in the vascular system.
The reason the researchers focused on blueberries and strawberries was pretty simple. These are the most often eaten berries in the United States. Because of this, the researchers acknowledged that it's possible that other foods might produce the same effect.
FoodFacts.com has always been a proponent of the American Heart Association's advice regarding eating a balanced diet that includes berries as part of a plan that includes a variety of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. We encourage our community members to remain conscious and colorful in their food choices. We understand that variety in our diets will not only keep eating interesting, but healthy as well. A little green, a little orange, a little red, a little purple might very well go a long way for your heart – as well as your taste buds. It's also more appealing to the eye … and we all have to see our food before we eat it. If you like what you see, you really are more likely to enjoy the meal. We don't live in a one-dimensional world. Our plates should reflect that … taste, color, texture. Strawberries and blueberries for heart health can add a wealth of dimension to our plates.

The Ice Castles aren't the only cold-weather dependent amenity in Summit County that struggled with last week's warmer temperatures.
Silverthorne closed North Pond Park Ice Rink and the Nordic Center last week.
North Pond is fed by an underground spring that warms water temperatures. Melting snowpack also hindered the ice stability. Warm temperatures in mid-March softened the Nordic Center's trails to the point grooming wasn't feasible any longer.
The ice season wasn't significantly shorter than average, Silverthorne recreation and culture director Joanne Breigenzer said. The ice rink opened on Dec. 17 and closed on March 12. Last year, the opening was one week earlier and the closing about the same.
"In regards to the Nordic Center at The Raven, the opening this year was delayed significantly due to lack of snow. We did not open until late December and even at that time, conditions were less than desirable," Breigenzer said. "Last year, the Nordic Center opened on Nov. 11."
The Nordic Center's closing is about the same as in 2011.
In Frisco, the Peninsula Recreation Center is also hurting for snow, making it a challenging season.
"The snow is melting quickly, but we're managing through it," recreation director Diane McBride said. "We have a good base that has helped us out tremendously. Staff is doing a great job of maneuvering the snow as needed."
The tubing hill and beginner ski hill are still slated to close on April 15, but fewer tubing lanes may be available if snow must be consolidated.
"It's spring break. We want to be open," McBride said.
Meadow Creek ice rink behind Walmart is currently closed because of the melt, she added.
In Breckenridge, some of the town's Nordic trails are closed, but those that are open provide ideal spring conditions, spokeswoman Kim Dykstra-DiLallo said.
"We have had two of the trails in a soft closing (last week). It basically means we need a tiny bit more snow and then they'll be open as soon as we can," she said. "Everything that's open is still covered and very skiable. There's a little bit of an impact but it's sure beautiful out there and it's a good time to come out there with the sun and do some nice spring skiing at the Nordic Center."
Keystone Resort guests have noticed what they call "dirty" slopes, trails that have the base somewhat exposed or have been wind-blasted with dust. Such conditions could cause more melt than expected, earlier than expected, as the darker snow attracts more of the sun's heat.
At Copper Mountain, though there are bare spots on trails toward the base of the mountain, spokeswoman Nell Bailey said the slope maintenance manager isn't concerned.
"We are currently on pace for normal lift operations," she said. "February had above-average snow totals, which was a great way to launch into March. This past week has been mostly destination guests and they are loving the sunny weather and groomed terrain. Our outside decks have been packed with visitors eating at the grill, soaking up the rays and enjoying apres."
She added that the bungee jump in Center Village is set-up and the tubing hill has been consistently busy.
Resort officials have their fingers crossed for this week's weather disturbance to refresh the slopes before Colorado's spring break hits.

SAN JOSE -- As NHL teams begin to reshape their rosters in the days leading up to the June 27 draft, the Sharks never have been in a more precarious spot during the Doug Wilson era.
The team's general manager has declared the status quo is unacceptable. The fact that the Los Angeles Kings -- the team that ruined the Sharks' postseason by coming back from a 3-0 series deficit to eliminate San Jose -- went on to win the Stanley Cup doesn't change anything. Hockey teams do not think like that.
Wilson's "reset and refresh" of a year ago has evolved into a full rebuild, a word he has deliberately avoided in the past. He also has promised a change in the team's culture -- "We want guys who want to play here, not just live here" -- and leadership hierarchy.
While he has not singled out anyone by name, Wilson also has done nothing to dampen the growing speculation that Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau are on the trading block -- no-movement clauses in their recently extended contracts notwithstanding.
But most significantly, Wilson candidly has prepared fans for a drop-off in performance by stating that sometimes a team needs to take a step backward in order to take two steps forward.
That drop-off is something the Sharks historically have been reluctant to risk.
The last time San Jose failed to make the playoffs, in 2002-03, there were reportedly 3,000 season-ticket cancellations. Since then, the philosophy has been simple: Finish the season among the handful of teams given a chance to win the Stanley Cup, and at some point it will be San Jose's year.
Other teams could afford to miss the playoffs for five or six seasons to procure high draft picks, the theory went, but not San Jose.
That approach has kept the SAP Center filled year after year -- especially important for a franchise that feels it came out on the short end of its long-term local TV deal. It also has provided for a decade of highly entertaining hockey.
But the team has yet to reach the Stanley Cup finals, and the magnitude and embarrassment of this year's playoff collapse has prompted the internal calls for change.
By process of elimination, that change is focused on the roster.
Coach Todd McLellan, whose initial statement after the Game 7 loss -- "They fixed their problems, we didn't" -- sounded like both an acknowledgment of personal responsibility as well as the rationale for his dismissal, remains behind the bench.
Wilson, who took over after that 2003 downturn, also received a vote of confidence from owner Hasso Plattner.
All of which brings the discussion back to the players themselves.
The general manager has made it clear that younger, homegrown players such as Logan Couture, Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Joe Pavelski will get more responsibility on the ice and in the locker room.
"I talked to all my vets about that," Wilson told the Toronto Sun. "If we are in a rebuild, it might not be in their best interest to stay."
Those vets include Thornton and Marleau, of course, and Wilson has already declared that Dan Boyle and Marty Havlat are gone (Boyle was dealt to the New York Islanders). Brad Stuart is another veteran with some control over where he plays, and a good candidate for the same chat.
Wilson likens the player conversations that have taken place over the past six weeks to those a year ago before veterans Ryane Clowe and Michal Handzus were traded. Each was persuaded to waive a no-trade clause and ended up on a Stanley Cup contender, while San Jose got a reasonable return.
But this year, things are more fragile. All the talk of change, for example, appears to have driven a wedge between Wilson and the Thornton camp. John Thornton, brother and agent of the Sharks captain, had a quick response on Twitter to the call for a cultural change in San Jose: "A culture established by who again?" asked John Thornton in a less-than-subtle reference to Wilson.
The general manager has indicated that the presence of talented young players such as Tomas Hertl or 2013 first-round draft pick Mirco Mueller enabled him to commit to a rebuilding process that should not take as long as it otherwise might. And Wilson, who will meet with the media Tuesday for his annual pre-draft update, said he is determined to get value in return for any future trade -- or simply wait until the right deal is available.
Already holding seven picks in the 2014 draft, the Sharks do not appear interested in stockpiling more, so there might not be the pressure for a major trade before the end of the month. Still, don't rule out anything.
"Decisions will be made going forward when the time is right," Wilson said. "If the time is tomorrow, it's tomorrow. There is no deadline on it."

Garden Club of Alabama to meet Oct. 24 in Northport
Published: Wednesday, October 9, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 9, 2013 at 12:55 a.m.
The Garden Club of Alabama will hold its biannual District 4 meeting on Oct. 24 at Northwood Hills Baptist Church, 3463 Alabama Highway 69 N., in Northport.
Doug Phillips, the host of Alabama Public Television's "Discovering Alabama," will speak to the group, which will include nine garden clubs from Tuscaloosa and surrounding counties. Phillips will discuss his experiences documenting the history of Alabama and his work with the environment.
The Tuscaloosa Garden Club will host the event, and the mayors of Tuscaloosa and Northport will introduce the nearly 75 visiting garden club members from Northport, Coker, Fayette, Greensboro, Jasper, Marion and Demopolis, as well as officers from the state-level organization.
The meeting will start with welcoming speeches by the two mayors. A flag ceremony will be presented by the University of Alabama Air Force ROTC, followed by Phillips' presentation. Individual clubs will then provide updates and distribute awards.
Mia Martin, the president of the Tuscaloosa Garden Club, said she asked Phillips to speak because he represents values of the organization.
"I love his program. He's really into this environment and recycling, and so I really respect him," she said. "And since that's what our garden club is into, it's all related."
The Garden Club of Alabama belongs to the National Garden Club, an organization that focuses on education, civic and environmental responsibility, networking and the love of gardening.
The Tuscaloosa Garden Club sponsors several scholarships and projects for students in Tuscaloosa.
Projects sponsored by the Tuscaloosa Garden Club include:
n A poetry contest for middle schoolers with the theme "Good stewards of our earth."
n A high school essay contest with the theme "Today's Choices Affect Tomorrow's World," with winners going on to the national level to compete for a $1,000 scholarship.
n A Smokey Bear/Woodsy Owl poster-drawing contest for Flatwoods Elementary School students.
The Tuscaloosa Garden Club also planted an Arbor Day tree, held a contest to make sculptures from recycled materials and assisted 10 elementary schools with the planting of bulbs in their schools. It gives scholarships to students going into fields such as forestry, horticulture and landscape design.
"We are trying to promote the love of gardening and flowers and plants and trying to promote the love of the environment and recycling," Martin said.

Local deejays will lay down a danceable beat base for live musicians to accompany during the next Afro-Beat Lounge, at 9:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 2, at Alex's Plaza Restaurant and Bar, 35 N. Main St., Ashland.
Alex's Afro-Beat Lounge is the brainchild of Oregon Shakespeare Festival actor Peter Macon and OSF sound-engineering resident and deejay Clive Bean. The idea was inspired by The Vinyl Club's Soul Sundays and big-city nightclubs while Afro-beat music can be sourced to one man, Nigerian multi-instrumentalist Fela Kuti. Kuti combined soul, jazz, Afro-Cuban, Ghanaian and Nigerian highlife influences into a hyper-political, polyrhythmic, funk blend, Macon says.
The cover is $5. Call 541-482-8818.

Spa: Willow Spa, Santa Monica, CA
Service: Willow Enzyme Bath + Athlete's Stretch ($166/ 105 min.)
Key Benefits: The dry bath (filled with wood shavings, rice bran, and fruit and vegetable enzymes) naturally heats to about 120 degrees to provide a host of benefits: cardio (a session offers the equivalent of running one mile), injury prevention, shorter recovery time and overall body detoxification.
Ideal Client: "The Enzyme Bath is great for athletes in any phase of training, offering repair and relaxation while stimulating the healing process and protecting muscles," explains co-owner Wendy Reeves.
Treatment Highlights: Because the dry heat opens muscles on a deeper level than does steam, the post-bath stretch can also reach deeper. The Athlete's Stretch, which utilizes Thai massage techniques, can include the Foundation Stretch (lower body), the Summit Stretch (upper body) or both.
Selling Points: Before treatment, athletes receive a 15-minute foot soak and massage to unwind.
Bonus Points: Clients love the comfortable loungewear: Pants and tops instead of traditional robes, which make both sexes comfortable in common areas.

Okay, so everybody knows the story by now. Either because there was only a few hundred people in the Crest that night or because everybody seemed mellow or who knows what, the band decided to perform most of the Gamehendge saga. I was quite lucky to be there that night and quite lucky to be on the rail. The rail at the Crest was set unfortunately high, nearly at chin level, and my buddy Nitewing had this little cookie monster puppet propped up on the rail so he could tell people where he was.
Anyway, Trey launched into the narration of the Gamehendge story, and suddenly the security guard who had been staring at us blankly most of the night gets up from his post, walks over to the rail, pets the little Cookie Monster on the head, and walks across the to the other side of the stage. Well, Trey seemed to lose his concentration. After the guard petted the Cookie Monster, Trey's jaw drops and he falls silent, glaring at the guard as he walks across the front of the stage. He says, "I'm sorry, I was just looking at this guy right here" and continued his narration.
The show itself was understated, yet unbelievable. I think it was perfectly punctuated by the dual encore! "Amazing Grace" was simple and sublime and "Fire" just burned, baby, burned.

Cyclists to invade Spartanburg for Assault on Mt. Mitchell
Published: Sunday, May 19, 2013 at 6:19 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, May 19, 2013 at 6:19 p.m.
Cyclists from around the world will gather in Spartanburg on Monday morning to partake in a grueling ride from Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium to the highest peak east of the Mississippi for the annual Assault on Mount Mitchell.
Riders will leave from downtown Spartanburg at 6:30 a.m. and begin the 102.7 mile trek to the top of Mount Mitchell State Park where the ride will end.
Between 1,030 and 1,040 cyclists are signed up for the event, which is the maximum number allowed by the Blue Ridge Parkway because only a certain amount of cyclists are allowed on the parkway at one time.
Assault's director Keenan Mullen said the feeling of accomplishment is what attracts so many cyclists from different parts of the world to the event.
"When you can say you've done Mount Mitchell, it is such a well-respected ride, that cyclists from all over the world know and recognize its difficulty. It's just a huge accomplishment for the cyclists that achieve it," she said. "If you've done Mount Mitchell, you've arrived. It's so well-respected. It's so hard."
The Assault on Mt. Mitchell is considered a ride not a race. Although timers are present at the event, they are provided just for riders to know their time for themselves. Mullen said the ride is a, "Self-competition for the cyclists."
In addition to the Assault on Mt. Mitchell, there is also an Assault on Marion that leaves at 6:30 a.m. from Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium as well.
The Assault on Marion is 74 miles and follows the same path as the Assault on Mt. Mitchell but instead of climbing to the top of the mountain, riders stop in Marion, N.C., at Tom Johnson's Campground.
"That's difficult in itself, but then the last stretch from Marion to Mount Mitchell is 25 miles straight uphill," Mullen said.
Between 200 and 300 riders are signed up for the Assault on Marion thus far and registration will continue for the event up until this morning.
Mullen and other event organizers have worked hard to put the Assaults together. Some of their responsibilities include transportation of spectators and riders, providing food and drinks and organizing packet pickup and registration.
She said getting everything ready for the events is difficult but in the end it is rewarding.
"There are so many details involved, but when you see the cyclists cross the finish line at the top all of the hard work is worth it. It's amazing," she said.
Mullen said people from the community who come out to support the Assaults will not be disappointed.
"It's really an amazing event. I encourage everyone in Spartanburg to come and see the start of it. As the sun rises over the Spartanburg skyline you've got about 1,300 cyclists all lined up. When they start it's just a beautiful site."

Due to scheduling conflicts, Greek black metallers ROTTING CHRIST have cancelled their participation in this year's Metal Healing Festival, set to take place July 20-22 in Thessaloniki, Greece.Video footage of ROTTING CHRIST performing in Bucharest, Romania on April 11, 2007 has been posted online at Metalhead.ro. A 10-minute video interview with ROTTING CHRIST can be viewed at this location. Metalhead.ro has also uploaded a gallery more than 200 photos from ROTTING CHRIST's concert in Bucharest. Check it out at this location. ROTTING CHRIST mainman Sakis Tolis recently told MetalZone.gr that the group's previously announced live album — which was recorded a year ago — will finally see the light of day before the end of 2007. The pioneers of the Greek metal scene put on two special two-hour shows featuring songs covering their entire catalog. These live concerts were held on February 3-4, 2006 at Blive Music House in Larissa, Greece and were the only shows to be recorded for the upcoming CD. The gigs marked the band's 18 years in the metal scene and fans from around the world were in attendance. The band also played a very special concert consisting exclusively of material from their first three albums — "Passage To Arcturo" (1989), "Thy Mighty Contract" (1992) and "Non Serviam" (1994) — on January 14, 2006 at An Club in Athens, Greece.

Perhaps it's not a mystery evocative of eerie moors or Victorian London alleyways, but the question still perplexes me: how did I let writer Martin Powell escape from my radar screen?He's certainly on the radar screen of other Sherlock Holmes fans. His adaptation of "The Hound of The Baskervilles" has just been released as a full-color hardcover graphic novel from Sequential Pulp/Dark Horse Comics. (The book is available in comic book specialty shops, as well as through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Books-A-Million and other purveyors of fine literature.)Backstory: approximately 25 years ago when I was writing the "Dan T's Inferno" column for Comics Buyer's Guide magazine, friend Alan Sissom cajoled me into trekking back to our alma mater to hear a presentation by an up-and-coming comics writer from Kentucky named Martin Powell.Powell was hawking "Scarlet In Gaslight," a brilliant graphic novel (drawn by Seppo Makinen) bringing Sherlock Holmes into conflict with Dracula. For a time my fiance and I eagerly kept up with Powell's progress; but then marriage, corporate downsizing, a shift to writing for a mainstream newspaper audience and fatherhood took me away.Then, at the end of 2009, I wrote a Tyrades! column about the first Robert Downey, Jr. Holmes movie. Snarky comments included speculation about The World's Greatest Detective getting into trouble for profiling in the 21st century. ("I happen to be a Furtive Character With Distinctive Clay On The Heel of the Left Boot. We are a recognized minority group, and my lawyer will be talking to you in the morning.")That got me started thinking about Powell, so in September of 2010 I went searching for him via Facebook, to see if he had thrown in the towel on the brutal writing business. To my pleasure, not only was "Scarlet In Gaslight" in its seventh printing, but Powell (now living in Saint Paul, Minn.) had more than 300 other writing credits, including comics, children's books, animation scripts and educational science books.He has worked with established characters such as Superman, Batman, Tarzan, Paul Bunyan, Sinbad, pulp magazine vigilante The Spider, and his favorite comics character, Popeye ("Mars Attacks Popeye"). He has even adapted Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" to comics. Then there have been the projects with original characters, including the co-creation (with artist Diana Leto) of The Halloween Legion ("World's Weirdest Heroes").And now I find myself admiring "The Hound of the Baskervilles," Powell's ninth project involving Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary sleuth. When asked for a pithy comment, Powell emailed me, "The Hound of the Baskervilles is actually the most iconic Sherlock Holmes mystery ever, and artist Jamie Chase and I are determined from the start to make our version as definitive as possible for this medium. I believe we have succeeded."Indeed, the volume exudes the typical Powell characteristics: painstaking preparation, respect for characters and breezy dialogue. The artwork (with its muted palette) draws you right into the foreboding world of the Baskervilles.This gem belongs on the bookshelf of Holmes experts, as well as anyone wishing to BEGIN a lifelong fascination with the detective. (Powell has been hooked since sixth grade.)Get on the Powell bandwagon. The Moriarty the merrier. (*Groan* By your retching, I deduce that I shouldn't have said that.)Danny Tyree welcomes reader email responses at email@example.com and visits to his Facebook fan page "Tyree's Tyrades." Danny's weekly column is distributed exclusively by Cagle Cartoons Inc. newspaper syndicate.

Thursday, Jan. 2 • 5:30 p.m. CT
Farris Center • Conway, Ark.
The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women's basketball team kicks off Southland Conference play, as it travels to Conway, Ark., for a Thursday night pairing with Central Arkansas at 5:30 p.m.
• This Islanders dropped their first road game of the season, losing to UT Arlington 75-64 on Dec. 21 to snap a four-game road win streak. However, they came back to beat Huston-Tillotson after the Christmas break to finish the nonconference portion of the schedule with a 7-4 record.
• As a team, A&M – Corpus Christi is third in the Southland Conference in three-point percentage, shooting at a 33.3 clip from behind the arc. Brittany Mbamalu and Jasmine Shaw have recorded a majority of the treys, combining for 58 of the team's 73 made shots from deep. In the last three games, the duo has accounted for 26 of the teams 27 threes.
• A&M – Corpus Christi has drastically improved its rebounding performance after its opponents pulled down 27 more than the Islanders in the first three games. The squad has outrebounded seven of its last eight opponents and is now first in the Southland with a +5.5 rebounding margin.
• The Islanders came into the 2013-14 season with the Southland's top-ranked recruiting class, and it has proved its talent, with the top two scores on the team being new faces.
• The win against UTPA marked the 200th victory in program history.
• After struggling to find offense last year, Marshall transfer Jasmine Shaw has become the main offensive threat for the Islanders. Last season, no Islander had more than two 20-point games. Shaw already has four and is averaging 16.6 points a game at the end of nonconference play.
This meeting will mark the ninth matchup between the Islanders and Central Arkansas. Every meeting between the two schools has been during Southland play. Texas A&M – Corpus Christi holds a 5-3 lead in the overall series. However, after the Islanders took the first four games between the two schools, the Sugar Bears have won three out of the last four.
The teams have faced off every season since the 2006-07 campaign. Last season marked the first year the teams played twice in a year. After UCA took the first game last season, the Islanders came back to knock off the Sugar Bears in Conway by two for their fourth and final win of the season. The win snapped a three-game winning streak in the series for UCA.
Central Arkansas enters the game with a 6-5 record after nonconference play. However, it has dropped four out of its last five games. The Sugar Bears did pick up a win against SEC foe Ole Miss earlier in the season though.
The Sugar Bears boast the only scoring defense better than A&M – Corpus Christi, allowing just 59 points a game. They have also had some large margin of victories on the season, giving them a +5.7 scoring margin, ranking them second in the conference in that category. Despite being ninth in the conference with 64.7 points per game, the Sugar Bears like to get into a half court offense and take high percentage looks, shooting at nearly 42 percent. They also crash the defensive boards, ranking second in the conference with 27 defensive rebounds a game.
Both the leading scorer and rebounder for UCA has been Courtney Duever. She has nearly averaged a double-double 12.2 points a game to go along with an average of 8.3 rebounds per contest, which is seventh best in the league. Another threat for the Sugar Bears has been Maggie Proffitt with 11.3 points a game. She has made nearly half of her shots, knocking down 44.1 percent of her attempts.
After the Islanders dropped their first road game of the season, the squad came back home after Christmas break and returned to the win column with a 84-64 victory against Huston-Tillotson to conclude nonconference play.
The Islanders had a solid performance from several players, as four players posted double figures. Huff lead the way with a career-high 21 points to go along with 10 rebounds for her second double-double of the season. Darley also achieved the same feat with a career-high 14 boards and 10 points to boot.
Seniors Jasmine Shaw and Taryn Gregory were the other two with double-digit scoring performances, tallying 16 and 10, respectively.
The team as a whole shot the ball well, shooting above a 50 percent clip for the first time this season, going 29-of-56 from the field. The Islanders dominated the Lady Rams on the glass, pulling down 52 boards compared to HTU's 35. The only area the Islanders struggled with were turnovers, coughing it up 27 times on the night. However, they did have a season-high 24 team assists.
Heading into their two games in Nashville, the Islanders had been outrebounded by 27 total boards. However, A&M – Corpus Christi dominated the rebounding stats in its trip to the Volunteer State, outrebounding both Belmont and Tennessee State by 13. The Islanders then finished off the roadtrip by outrebounding Texas State by 19, while also snatching up 23 offensive rebounds compared to the Bobcats' seven.
The Islanders once again cleaned up everything on the board when they returned home, snatching up 15 more rebounds than UTSA and then pulled down 11 more than UTPA.
After getting outrebounded for the first time in five games at Texas Southern, the Islanders won the rebound battle against UTA despite losing the game. They then backed it up with 17 more boards than the Lady Rams. The Islanders are still first in the Southland with a +5.5 rebounding margin.
Jasmine Shaw, a senior transfer from Marshall, has tallied four games of 20 or more points this season and is averaging 16.6 points a game. Last season, no Islander had more than two games exceeding 20 points throughout the entire campaign.
In the game against Tennessee State, Shaw struggled from the field, going just 3-of-12 and 1-of-6 from downtown. However, she still made a huge impact on the team, setting a career high in rebounds with 13 — seven offensively — and in assists with nine. She also knocked down seven of her nine free throws to give her 14 points on the night, meaning she came just one assist short of picking up the first triple-double in Islanders' history. For good measure in that game she also hit the game-winning jumper with five seconds left and recorded four steals in the matchup.
She then struggled in her next two games, scoring a total of just seven points, making just three of her 20 attempts from the field, missing all seven of her three point attempts. However, she bounced back against UTPA with 17 points, going 6-for-9 from the field, including two threes.
Shaw then followed up that performance with an even bigger one, scoring a career-high 28 points against Texas Southern, including seven threes, which tied a school record. Shaw kept rolling heading into the Christmas break, knocking down another five threes and a total of 19 points at UTA. She then added 16 points to go along with five rebounds and five assists against Huston-Tillotson.
Senior Brandi Huff had a breakthrough performance in the matchup against Tennessee State, setting a career high in rebounds while matching her top scoring outing. The Rockport-Fulton native notched her first career double-double, pulling down 11 boards to go along with a team high 15 points. She then matched her career high in rebounds against UTSA, picking up five on offense and six on defense. Against UTPA, she hit double figures in the scoring column for the third time of the season with 12 points. Then at Texas Southern, Huff had seven points and six rebounds and tied career-highs in blocks (2) and steals (2).
Huff then had arguably the biggest game of her tenure with a career-high 21 points to go along with 10 rebounds against Huston-Tillotson for her second double-double of the season. She went 7-of-9 from the field and made all seven of her shots from the charity stripe. Huff also blocked two shots and dished out two assists.
Freshman Brittany Mbamalu has made a significant impact on the team, especially with her pinpoint shooting ability from three-point range.
In her first two games, she only saw two minutes of action combined. However, she logged 19 minutes of play against Southern Utah, and went 3-of-8 from behind the arc for nine points, earning herself a spot in the starting rotation.
In her first seven games as a starter, Mbmamlu hit double figures in each outing. She now ranks 10th in the Southland in three-point percentage (.367) and second in three pointers made (2.6 per game, 29 total). Mbamalu also shattered a school record with 18 three-point attempts in the game at UTA with the previous high being 13 — which she had tied in the game at Texas Southern.
Her streak of double figure performances was brought to a halt against Huston-Tillotson where she only had nine points. However, this was only in 16 minutes of play after she suffered an injury in the first half of play.
In each of its first three loses, A&M – Corpus Christi has come up just short, losing by an average of just five points. In its loss against Fairfield in the championship game of the Emerald Beach Islanders Classic, the Islanders were just one play away from tying the game up. However, down three, they were not able to get a three-pointer off before the buzzer sounded. Then in the matchup with Southern Utah, the Islanders trailed by just four late in the game before the Thunderbirds pushed the lead back to seven before the final horn sounded.
A&M – Corpus Christi saw a four-point lead against UTSA dwindle away over the final 3:22 of regulation before being outscored 6-1 in overtime to fall 55-50. However, in their last loss, the Islanders were downed by double-digits for the first time this season in a 75-64 defeat by UTA. They did keep it close though, as it was just a three-point game with less than three minutes left to play.
During the early signing period, the Islanders received National Letters of Intent from Emmeri Archer (Brooklyn, N.Y./ South Shore HS), Daryon Fields (Spring, Texas/St. Pius High School), Ashley James (Highland Village, Texas/Marcus High School) and Jennifer Ramirez (Brooklyn, N.Y./ASA Junior College).
A 5-foot-7 guard, Archer comes to the Islanders as a three-star recruit with a 90 ranking from ESPN. It also ranks her as the 18th player nationally at her position.
Coming from Spring, Texas, Fields will bring some inside presence to the Coastal Bend. The 6-foot-2 post is ranked 42nd in the nation at her position and 309th nationally overall. In her junior year at St. Pius, Fields nearly averaged a double-double with 10 points a game to go along with eight rebounds each time out.
James, a 5-foot-4 point guard from Marcus High School in Flower Mound, Texas. In her junior year, she was named first team all-district and the defensive player of the year in her district. That season, James averaged 10 points, four steals and three assists per game. She has also picked up district MVP and offensive player of the year awards during her high school career.
Ramirez, a native of Brooklyn, N.Y., comes to the Island University from ASA Junior College in New York City. Ramirez played her high school basketball at New York City Lab School. In her junior season she averaged 18.8 points, including a 35-point performance in her team's playoff game, as well as 6.5 assists and 6.5 rebounds a game.
With the departure of eight players from last year's squad, the Islanders only have four returners for the 2013-14 season made up of three seniors and one sophomore. The leading scorer out of the bunch was Ashley Darley, who was second on the team in points scored with 7.9 a game. Darley also ranked second on the team in rebounds per game and steals per game last year.
Taryn Gregory also returns for her final season after starting in 20 games last year. She comes into the year ranking fourth in career free-throw percentage with a .764 overall mark her first three years. Brandi Huff rounds out the trio of seniors after ranking third on the team in rebounds a year ago.
The lone sophomore on A&M – Corpus Christi's roster is Ashanti Plummer. The Manhattan, N.Y., native enters play this year after making an impact on the team her freshman year, ranking second on the team in games started with 22 and first in the team in blocks and 11th in the Southland in the same category.
The Islanders enter this season with the top-ranked recruiting class in the Southland after signing 10 newcomers. However, five of them join the Island University with collegiate experience – three at the Division I level.
Two of the transfers have played for coach Royce Chadwick, as Shay Weaver and Jasmine Shaw come to the Island University after playing for him at Marshall. Shaw will look to make an immediate impact, while Weaver will sit out this season because of NCAA transfer rules.
Alissa Campanero will look to get the ball in the hands of shooters as she dished out 4.9 assists per game last season with Odessa College and has experience in Division I after playing her freshman season at Hawaii.
Adebayo played at Eastern Oklahoma State Community College and averaged 16 points and seven rebounds per game, while securing 12 double-doubles, picking up First Team All-Conference, First Team All-Region and Third Team NJCAA All-American honors.
Lexy Harris joins the Islanders after averaging a double-double with Angelina Community College, averaging 12.8 points per game and 10.9 rebounds to go along with 2.1 blocks per game.
Rounding off the highly touted recruiting class are four freshmen, with all but one of those coming from Texas. Ranked No. 63 in the ESPN Girls Recruiting National Rankings was Camesha Davis who averaged 16 points and 8.5 rebounds at Desoto High School. Another freshman that comes to the Coastal Bend almost averaging a double-double is Doshi Davis who averaged 11 points and 8.3 rebounds as a senior at Memorial High School in Port Arthur, Texas.
A freshman that managed to average a double-double her senior season of high school was Brittany Mbamalu, pulling down 10.1 rebounds a game to go along with 20.8 points. She was also named first team all-district her junior and senior seasons. Looking to help out a team that averaged less than 50 points a game last season is Kassie Jones, who was ranked 10th in Texas in scoring her senior year, averaging 24 points a game.
After finishing last season 3-15 in conference play, the Islanders have been picked by the Southland coaches to finish ninth in the conference, while the SID Poll has A&M – Corpus Christi occupying the 10th spot.
The Islanders will then make a 250-mile trek over to Tulsa, Okla., for a Saturday afternoon tilt with Oral Roberts before heading back to Corpus Christi.

47 Years Ago: Led Zeppelin Make Their Live Debut
Led Zeppelin performed together for the first time on Sept. 7, 1968, but not under that now-famous name.
By the summer of 1968, the once-mighty Yardbirds had all but fallen apart. Their lead guitarist Jimmy Page picked up the pieces and put together an all-new version of the band for an already-booked tour. This combo would include vocalist Robert Plant, bassist John Paul Jones and drummer John Bonham. The site of their low-key (but clearly now history-making) debut was the modest Gladsaxe Teen Club of Gladsaxe, Denmark.
In a newsletter from the venue, writer, Bent Larsen stated, "Their performance and their music were absolutely flawless, and the music continued to ring nicely in the ears for some time after the curtains were drawn after their show. Let me in particular give my praise to Jimmy Page who has made a great job with the three new men. They really succeeded and in particular the guitar solo by Page created huge applause […] we can therefore conclude that the new Yardbirds are at least as good as the old ones were."
"It's only a short while before the concert that we realized it wouldn't the "real" Yardbirds that were going to play," photographer Jorgen Angel told Kashmir, "Gladsaxe Teen Club had booked the Yardbirds a few months before, but the Yardbirds broke up and Peter Grant and Jimmy Page came with other musicians to fulfill those commitments. They signed a contract for a small tour in Scandinavia. Jimmy recruited three other guys and they played all the clubs where the Yardbirds were supposed to play." Angel's photos from the show, one of which you can see above, are now legendary.
This first show was a late afternoon gig, beginning at 5:30, and was followed with a second show that evening at the Brondby Pop Club in Norregardhallen, Brondby, Denmark. Though no set list survived, it is safe to say the shows likely included songs such as "White Summer," "You Shook Me," "Dazed and Confused," and "Train Kept A-Rollin," all of which were Yardbirds staples at the time. Support acts for the first show were Fourways and Bodies, and no, we're not sure what became of them. Page soon changed the name of the group, either because of legal claims from other former Yardbirds members or out of a desire to start fresh, and the rest is history.

PASADENA -- Will "Silicon Valley," the upcoming tech-centric sitcom from HBO, be a love letter to the region, or a poison pen? Probably a little of both, creator Mike Judge says.
Judge is known for an irreverent brand of humor that fueled films such as "Office Space" and the animated TV show "Beavis and Butthead." Having worked as an engineer in Palo Alto during the 1980s, he has a soft spot for the region, but he also views the valley -- and the billionaires who populate it -- with a cynical eye.
"It's funny: The Bay Area is where the whole hippie movement started, and there's still a lot of that lingering around," Judge said Thursday during a panel session at the Television Critics Association tour.
That makes some of the tech billionaires so uncomfortable, he explained, that they "shroud their capitalism with this 'We're-making-the-world-a-better-place' thing."
In the past few years, Hollywood has ventured into Silicon Valley with mixed success, ranging from the Oscar-nominated film "The Social Network," to the critically bashed and low-rated Bravo reality TV series "Start-Ups: Silicon Valley," along with recent films such as "Jobs" and "The Internship," and Amazon.com's online series "Betas."
Judge's "Silicon Valley," set to launch an eight-episode season April 6, follows the misadventures of an introverted computer programmer (Thomas Middleditch) and his brainy pals as they strive to hit it big with a new site-search algorithm.
The series, according to production notes, "takes a comic look at the modern-day epicenter of the high-tech gold rush, where the people most qualified to succeed are the least capable of handling success."
This week marked the launch of HBO's promotional campaign for "Silicon Valley," starting Wednesday with a special screening of two episodes that provoked substantial laughter among a small audience of TV critics. That was followed by Thursday's media session attended by Judge and fellow executive producer Alec Berg who, like his partner, harbors a bit of scorn for the dot-com billionaires.
Some of them "take themselves too seriously, so they have to come in for a little kicking," Berg said.
Among those spoofing tech titans on the show was veteran actor Christopher Evan Welch, whose death last month from lung cancer at 48 forced some minor rewrites.
"We had to cope with it not just on a production level, but also on a personal level," Berg said. "He was an amazing guy and super talented, and we loved writing for him."
"Silicon Valley" is one of two new HBO comedies set in the Bay Area. The other is "Looking," about a group of gay friends searching for love and happiness in San Francisco. It debuts Jan. 19.
If "Silicon Valley" succeeds, it could be to the local startup world what "Entourage" was to Hollywood. To pull that off, Judge knows that he has to win over not only a wide general audience, but the hard-to-please techies who often heap scorn on Hollywood depictions of their community.
"I was really concerned about getting it right," Judge said after the media session. "And it's not a matter of trying to get it right just for the sake of avoiding bad reviews. It's just a really interesting world, and it feels better when you're putting something together and have it be believable."
To that end, Judge and his team worked with grad students at Stanford to develop what would come across as an authentic compression algorithm, then had it mock-pitched to real venture capitalists to get a feel for the kind of conversations that would spring up. The show, though primarily shot in Los Angeles, filmed some scenes in the South Bay last year and has enlisted a technical adviser to help with the jargon and other aspects of valley specifics.
"We really studied that world," Judge said. "We went deep into it."
During their research, Judge and Berg were pleased to discover that the tech culture yielded more comedic fodder than they had even expected.
Said Berg, "It's always a good thing when you're doing the research and the craziest stuff that you can think of is not half as crazy as the real stuff you're finding, in terms of the absurdities and eccentricities."

Top Moment #3: Baseball Walks Off With Win Over Texas State
CORPUS CHRISTI - Throughout the summer of 2012, GoIslanders.com will look back at the best moments and athletic performances from the 2011-12 school year.
Every Wednesday, we will bring you one of the top 10 individual performances, with Mondays bringing the year's top 10 moments. Be sure to keep tabs on GoIslanders.com throughout the summer to celebrate all the great moments.
Top Moment #3: Baseball Walks Off With Win Over Texas State
In 26 innings of the Texas A&M – Corpus Christi baseball team's three-game Southland Conference series against Texas State from April 5-7, the Islanders were able to muster a total of just two runs. Luckily they played 27 innings as Santiago Ruiz finished off the ninth-inning rally with a single to plate Kyle Danford and Jeramie Marek to give his team a dramatic 4-3 win over the Bobcats.
Things looked bleak for the Islanders with the Bobcats leading 3-1, as they went down in order in the eighth, and after a bizarre top of the ninth, the Islanders were down to their final three outs. Jonathan Gonzales started things off with a walk, and after a pitching change, was lifted for pinch runner Weston Montgomery.
A strikeout followed for the first out, but it would be the only out the Bobcats would record in the tense final inning.
Danford followed with a single to left to put runners on first and second, and Marek followed with a hit that found the outfield grass for a single to load the bases. Marc Damon came on to pinch hit, and drew a walk to force in a run, making it 3-2.
Ruiz followed next with the decisive at bat, seeing seven pitches before hitting a 2-2 pitch to right center field to bring home Danford and a sliding Marek to end the game. The Islanders celebrated the big win at home as they mobbed Ruiz after he came up with the big hit to win the game 4-3.

your calendar in a line
DateLine is a small, simple app which displays a linear calendar on your desktop in a transparent window. It provides easy access to iCal by double clicking on a day. The background and text colors are customizable with support for transparency.
Required OS: not specified

Once, I was completely depending on iCalViewer, an app with some similarities to DateLine.
iCalViewer was my beloved favorite app for years and it's a little bit emotional to separate from it, but, I find DateLine even greater.
DateLine's winning feat is the fact that it manages to 'always be there â" yet stay away' in a perfect, zen-like fashion. Instead of showing events with text and everything â" as was the case with iCalViewer â" this application will let you hover your mouse over dates in order to see your info on each day. Much smarter.
On a less satisfactory note:
I find it somewhat glitchy, when you click on a date with info in it and move your mouse out of way. I may be wrong, but it feels like in 90% of the times you click on a date, its info stays open. And the rest of the times, the info window will go away. So, more robust operation in that regard would be appreciated.
Same problem applys to 0.91, it wants you to upgrade to 0.910, I am not sure why this happens!
version 0.82 updated successfully to version 0.900
Same issue with 0.872
I have version 0.87 installed, it says that there is a newer version, 0.870 which I don't think exists..so this might need updating
don't save my pref settings... :(
I for one like this app. It looks really nice of the desktop and clicking a date to open iCal is really handy. It would be perfect if days with events got highlighted. In version 0.4 maybe? wink wink
is this just for cosmetic appeal? i don't see the point. it looks nice, but you could get the same information by looking at ical's dock icon. i guess if you have your dock hidden this would come into play..

MyMind is a combination of an outliner an a mind mapping application. Or a mind mapper with built-in outlining functionality.
Required OS: not specified
Tags: mindmapping , organize , mindmap , outliner , mind
4 Opinions
I have looked at e LOT of MindMap and Outlining tools and this is really very special - and it is free. Much better than many paid apps. Beautifully designed and executed!
Not compatible with MacOSX Lion.
Elegant simplicity. Extreme ease of use. Trouble-free. Only outliner that interconverts Outlines <-> MindMaps. Exports as TXT, OPML, HTML, Image, SVG. Import a folder containing many files 'As Representation of Directory'. MyMind makes an outline of every file in that directory, with sub-directories as foldable nodes. Way better than the big complex expensive outliners.
Brilliant utility with amazing functionality.

A year ago, Bishop O'Dowd High's Eugene Hamilton III ran his first varsity cross country race at the North Coast Section championships. He finished 35th in the Division III boys race.
Judging by his performance at the West Alameda County Conference meet on Nov. 3, Hamilton might be in line for a top-five finish at the NCS championships this season.
On the same 3.0-mile Hayward High course that is used for the NCS meet, Hamilton, a senior, won the WACC boys race in an impressive time of 15 minutes, 24.7 seconds -- slightly more than 50 seconds faster than his time at the 2011 NCS championships at Hayward.
"He's the most mild-mannered kid off the track and off the course, but when it comes to competition, he flips a switch," Bishop O'Dowd director of cross country Jamal Cooks said. "He wants to win."
In his first season of cross country in 2011, Hamilton was sidelined for several weeks with a post-operation infection after all four of his wisdom teeth were extracted. He ran only three races -- including the Hayward Area Athletic League junior varsity championship race, which he won -- before the NCS championships last year.
But the experience was enough to fire him up about the sport.
"I felt 100 percent motivated to come back for cross country after working out in the summer," said Hamilton, who competed in the state track and field championship preliminaries last June in the 800 meters. "I've never run this many miles ever before. This is a whole new experience for me."
In fact, Hamilton was a 200- and 400-meter sprinter his sophomore track season.
"I was running track, and I was originally going to run cross country to stay in shape," Hamilton said, "and it worked out well for me."
Hamilton took the lead in the last 1,200 meters of the race at the WACC championships. Bishop O'Dowd assistant coach Andrew Cheng was impressed with Hamilton's poise and confidence in that race.
"He never shied away from the pace. He never shied away from the lead pack," Cheng said. "He's been more confident in running with the leaders. He knows that he can run with some of the faster guys at NCS."

WORCESTER -- The Warner Theater at 62 Front St., and its neighbor, Prudence Clothes, saw their end in 1965, when the neighborhood was plowed under in the name of urban renewal. In 1971 the Worcester Center Galleria tore a hole in the row of buildings that were prospering in 1938 and built it up again into a shopping center.
In some respects, the new incarnation merely replaced one business with a similar one. In the case of Prudence Clothing, it was Filene's. The Warner Theater was replaced in downtown Worcester with a much smaller movie theater, the Worcester Center Cinema. And within spitting distance of where the Warner's patrons once sat and munched popcorn while watching films, Foothills Theatre patrons watched live productions from 1987 to 2009 in the theater behind Filene's.
Like many movie houses built in the early years of the motion picture industry, the Warner Theater showcased fantastic interiors. Nostalgic historians claim that the vintage projector from the Warner Theater moved to the newly opened White City Theatre when this venue closed.
The Warner family set its stamp on Worcester in other ways as well: Warner Brothers Studio President Harry Warner endowed the Warner Theater at Worcester Academy in memory of his son, Lewis, an alumnus. That theater still stands, and is a place of pilgrimage for theater history lovers.

Carlmont's Anisah Smith leads the Central Coast Section in scoring at 27 points per game. And she is as consistent as she is prolific, scoring 20 points or more in Carlmont's first 14 games this season.
"Even when my shot is not on, I've been taught to have a short memory,'' Smith said.
That's the true mark of a scorer, an individual who cannot allow conscience or regret to deflect or lose sight of the objective.
Smith played at Eastside Prep for two years before transferring to Carlmont. She averaged around 18 points per game as a junior for a Carlmont team that went 8-16. But this season has been entirely different. The Scots are off to a 13-1 start.
"Anisah has really matured as a player and as a young lady this season,'' Carlmont coach Dan Mori said. "She realizes for us to be successful she needs to be real supportive of her teammates.
"She realizes that to be a true star, she needs to have the ability to make her teammates better, that the better they do the better it is for her because teams can't focus on her.''
Smith is tough to defend because she is not one-dimensional, equally adept at taking the ball to the hoop on the drive or pulling up to shoot her soft-touch jumper.
"She has also made the commitment to focus on defense,'' Mori said. "Her defense fuels our offense. The fastbreak is where she is really dynamic. She's tough to stop in transition.''
A 5-foot-6 guard, Smith has received scholarship offers from a couple of schools in the Midwest. She plans to play at Tennessee State.
But before that, she'd like to help the Scots continue their run of success throughout this season.
"Our confidence level is much higher this season,'' Smith said. "Everyone is willing to learn, work together and play as a team. We have the mindset of playing tough defense. I want us to go as far as we possibly can and keep improving together.''
Burlingame and Woodside were the top teams last season, but both lost virtually their entire team to graduation. Menlo-Atherton, Mills, Capuchino, Hillsdale and Carlmont are all off to 2-0 starts this season. Westmoor looks like the clear favorite in the PAL North.
Firpo coached boys and girls basketball, softball and girls volleyball during a 39-year career at Burlingame. Before coming to Burlingame, he coached basketball at Mills.
A funeral mass will take place Thursday at 10:30 a.m. at St. Robert's Church in San Bruno.
