(AdvisorOne looks at seven days when the Dow plummeted because of an external disaster or, for various reasons, plummeted on its own, and what role human behavior played in moving markets, in a story that originally appeared in Investment Advisor magazine's July 2011 issue.)
Historically, Americans have always been an optimistic lot, but there have certainly been times when optimism has yielded to its darker sibling, pessimism. This is never more true than when disaster strikes. Do the financial markets view disasters as a friend or enemy? Does fear among the masses create opportunity for the few? Are the events to which we ascribe market behavior fact or fiction? And, can we really know for certain?
What really moves markets and how has the stock market reacted to unforeseen, catastrophic events? Moreover, how do financial statistics, which typically reflect past events, impact human—and hence, market—behavior?
The effect that various disasters in the United States have had on stocks is influenced by multiple factors. For example, if the event levied a lofty price tag, but was localized and did not disrupt the "collective economic engine" to any significant degree, the market fallout was minimal. Moreover, if the economy was growing at the time of an event, momentum provided a helpful tailwind. Let's begin with WWII and the reason we entered the fray.
[Click here for a list of the Dow's worst days.]
Pearl Harbor
It was near 70 degrees and partly cloudy in Honolulu on the morning of Sunday, Dec. 7, 1941. Just prior to 7:50 a.m.—the time when the Japanese pilots began their assault—many U.S. military personnel and their families lay fast asleep after a Saturday night on the town. The next day, FDR addressed Congress and uttered the famous phrase, "A date which will live in infamy." The United States was at war. In the wake of the attack, Pearl Harbor and America would never be the same.
The sad irony is that Americans held a strong "isolationist" belief at the time, and had it not been for the vicious assault on the U.S. naval base at Pearl, our introduction into WWII may have been delayed, perhaps even avoided.
For the 12 months prior to the attack, the average daily trading volume on the Dow Jones Industrial Average was about 560,000 shares. During the following three weeks, trading volume nearly tripled to 1.6 million shares per day. What was a bit surprising was its performance. With an event as serious as this, most would expect fear to reign and stocks to sell off with great fervor. Although stocks did decline, the rate of descent was far from severe. In fact, on the Friday before the attack, the DJIA had closed the day at 115.90. On the Monday after the attack, it lost 2.92%, closing at 111.53. On Tuesday, it fell to 107.56 for a loss of 2.89%. However, by the time Americans were singing "Auld Lang Syne," the DJIA stood at 110.96, down less than 4.0%. The following year it rose 7.6%.
With America's advent into the war, the economic engines began to hum. As factories retooled to manufacture tanks instead of trucks, planes instead of Pontiacs, the unemployment rate began to fall. The economy was on a path to recovery, and as corporate earnings grew, the stock market embarked on a 20-year binge.
Sept. 11, 2001
On Sept. 11, 2001, 19 al-Qaida terrorists commandeered four commercial passenger jets, set out to kill American citizens and crash the U.S. economy. Nearly 3,000 souls were lost that day in one of the most horrific events in recent history. This tragedy struck on the heels of a ruptured tech bubble and occurred during an already flagging economy. According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, the U.S. recession had officially begun six months earlier. After the second tower was struck, the stock market was closed, and remained closed for a week, as heroic volunteers sifted through the rubble hoping to find signs of life.
Already off 18% from its early 2000 peak, when the DJIA reopened the following Monday it fell an additional 7.13% and the bear market became official. The Dow continued to fall over the next four consecutive days, losing another 14.26% from its pre 9/11 close. All in all, investors were down nearly 30% from January of 2000. With the predictability of a sunrise, trading volume spiked. In fact, the DJIA traded two billion shares for the first time in its history on Sept. 17, 2001. Average daily trading volume increased 50% in the 12 months following the attack as compared to the year prior.
This disaster occurred in the midst of a recession and a declining stock market. As a result, its impact was more acute. However, after bottoming out on Oct. 9, 2002, the markets once again began to ascend. And by the time our next disaster rolled around, the market was well on its way to a complete recovery.
Hurricane Katrina
The two prior disasters were largely unforeseen. However, this particular lady was announced with thunderous pomp, as she sauntered toward the shores of Louisiana. Katrina was one of the deadliest hurricanes in the history of the United States, claiming nearly 2,000 lives, and was the most expensive, sporting a price tag of $45 billion according to the Insurance Institute.
Katrina occurred during a time when the U.S. economy was growing. Even with the infamous title of "Most Expensive Hurricane," Katrina is virtually undetectable on a stock chart, causing no more than a blip on the screen.
Although it was the most costly hurricane in U.S. history, its financial impact amounted to 0.35% of our nation's GDP. Considering that the economy was strong at the time, even the oil disruptions were tolerable.
The Great Japan Earthquake of 2011
On March 11, 2011, just off the east coast of northern Japan, a horrific earthquake measuring 9.0 struck, claiming the lives of more than 15,000 people. This quake was estimated to be over 600 million times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb. Only two days prior, on March 9, the area experienced four earthquakes in excess of 6.0 with one at 7.2. Following the quake there were more than 800 aftershocks of 4.5 or greater. The tsunamis that followed added an extra layer of grief to the quake and near meltdown of the area's nuclear power plants. How did the financial markets react?
The DJIA opened at 11,976 and after fluctuating about 1.25% that day, it closed 0.50% higher. Volume on that Friday was just over 3.7 billion shares below its previous 12-month average of 4.4 billion. However, over the next three days, as the disaster continued to unfold, the DJIA registered losses of -0.43%, -1.15% and -2.04%, respectively, on slightly higher volume.
Incidentally, Japan's major stock index, the Nikkei 225, is down around 7.70% since the day of the earthquake. Volume spiked immediately afterward, but is now back to a normal range.
Let's turn our focus from disasters and look at the top three all-time worst percentage losses in the Dow. All references reflect DJIA data from Oct. 28, 1928 to present.
October 19, 1987
The largest single-day percentage drop occurred on Oct. 19, 1987. The previous Wednesday, the Dow had lost 3.81%. The following day, Thursday, it was down 2.39% and Friday was no different, losing 4.60%, closing the day at 2,246.73. Not exactly comforting to investors as they headed into the weekend. By the time Monday morning rolled around, few had an appetite for stocks, and by the end of the trading day, the Dow had lost a staggering 22.6%, falling to 1,783.74. Although the cause is still up for debate, there were several potential contributing factors including a falling dollar and rising interest rates. The descent that day began in Hong Kong and spread from time zone to time zone until it reached our shores.
This market decline occurred during the midst of the greatest bull market of the 20th century. Over the next two days, the DJIA logged returns of 5.88% and 10.15%, respectively, recovering much of what it had lost. Amazingly, the market ended on a high note that year, finishing in positive territory. Before 1989 was over, it had eclipsed its 1987 peak, and continued to ascend from there.
October 28 and 29, 1929
The euphoria of the Roaring Twenties was not too dissimilar from the tulip craze of the 1600s. Speculators would borrow from any source possible to invest in that "can't lose" investment. During the latter stages of a bull cycle, optimism reaches its peak as investors adopt a paradigm where stocks can only rise. Obviously, history belies this illusion.
From its peak of 381.17 on Sept. 3, 1929, the Dow declined 27 of the 40 days leading up to Monday, Oct. 28. From its peak to the Friday before the crash, the Dow had already lost 21% and the "Bad News Bears" were singing, "We've Only Just Begun." That Monday, the DJIA lost an additional 13.47%. The next day it lost 11.73%. That Tuesday was the third worst daily percentage loss. By the time Tuesday's trading ended, the 21% decline had become 39%.
Even though news didn't travel as fast back then, it didn't necessarily need to, as the investment community was more geographically concentrated. Moreover, to help frame the time period, in 1929 there were only 19 open-ended mutual funds as much of the general public had not yet begun to invest.
One final note is in order here. This was the most devastating crash of the 20th century. From the market's peak on Sept. 3, 1929, it took over 25 years before the 1929 peak was surpassed.
This leads the discussion away from the worst daily losses to the way information is disseminated in today's society. The chart above illustrates that the first step in the process is when a significant event occurs. The news media is simply a conglomeration of individuals, some with more power than others, but people nonetheless. Suffice it to say that we all have certain biases, so when we are faced with the task of complete and total objectivity, we tend to fall short. Therefore, the event is broadcast with some degree of prejudice. The public is no more immune to this than is the news media. In fact, the public's perception of a story may be more skewed than that of the media, since it's the media that provides our information.
There is a strong tendency to "follow the crowd." If we could accurately predict the behavior of investors, then it stands to reason that we could beat them to the punch. However, as more people gained the ability to predict human behavior, the very behavior we were predicting would become that much more unpredictable. In short, though we intuitively understand that it is investors who move markets through the realignment of their capital, we may never achieve the holy grail of investing and therefore completely understand what moves markets.

Using HTML5 localStorage on a form
Update – 24th April 2012
Based on the great comments recieved, the demo and download files have been updated to work using .change so it works with fields which are filled via auto fill or content pasted in.
HTML5 localStorage provides us with the ability to store named key/value pairs locally within a users browser, this means that the data stored in localStorage is still there even after a user has closed the browser, deleted their cookies or turned off their machine/device.
The HTML5 localStorage attribute is supported by most modern browsers including Firefox 3.5+, Chrome 4+, Safari 4+, Mobile Safari, Android 2+ and Internet Explorer 8+.
Now lets dive into some code and create a basic working example. In this example we are going to create a simple form which stores the data entered into the form so that if the form isn't submitted but the browser is closed the data is still store and then retrieved when the user returns to the form.
So first we need a form for the user to fill in, here is the HTML for that:
<form id="localStorageTest" method="post" action=""> Name: <input type="text" name="name" id="name" class="stored" value="" /> Email: <input type="email" name="email" id="email" class="stored" value="" /> Message: <textarea name="message" id="message" class="stored"></textarea> <input type="submit" class="demo-button" value="Submit" /> </form>
The main things to notice on this form is that the form elements have been given a class of stored, this will be used to allow us to specify which fields to store as you may not want to store all the data a user inputted.
Next up is the jQuery:

OK so lets explain what is happening above, a function called init is ran when the page is first loaded. This function checks if any data is stored for each field and if so adds the data to the relevant form element.
Next we have the keyup function which runs when a user presses a key in any form element with the class of stored. This function then adds the inputted data into the localStorage.
Finally we come to submit function which when runs a user submits. This function then removes all of the data from localStorage.

JPMorgan Chase & Co was again ranked the top investment bank by revenue in the first quarter with $5.9 billion, according to a new survey published on Wednesday.
In a repeat of the previous year's results, the U.S. bank came ahead of rivals Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Citi, which all tied for second place, according to industry analytics firm Coalition.
Morgan Stanley finished sixth, while Barclays and Credit Suisse came joint seventh.
Coalition, which only gives revenue figures for the top-ranked bank in categories including equities and advisory, said that JPMorgan's investment banking revenue in the first quarter fell by almost 15 percent from $6.9 billion in the same period last year.
Most investment banks have seen trading revenues slump over the past year amid a low interest rate environment and tougher regulations requiring them to hold more capital, which have driven down returns.
A number are reducing their operations and cutting jobs as a result. Barclays said last month 7,000 jobs are to go at its investment bank and the head of investment banking at JPMorgan, Daniel Pinto, recently told Reuters that the bank would be "laser-focused" on cost cutting.
Coalition said turnover at JPMorgan's fixed income, commodities and currencies (FICC) division was $3.2 billion in the January to March period, down by more than a quarter from the previous year. The figure was enough to keep it in the top spot in Coalition's league table in FICC, alongside Deutsche Bank and Citi.
It also came joint first for equities revenues with fellow U.S. bank Morgan Stanley, earning $1.4 billion.
Goldman Sachs and Bank of America Merrill Lynch came out on top in advisory. The two earned around $1.5 billion for their work assisting companies with mergers and acquisitions and other transactions.
Coalition tracks the performance of Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Barclays, BNP Paribas, Citi, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley and UBS – the 10 largest investment banks globally.
Its rankings are based on public information such as banks' results and benchmarked to a common standard to produce a top 10 league table.

The USDA November forecasts of the size of the 2012 U.S. corn and soybean crops were larger than expected, particularly for soybeans. As a result, the general downtrend in soybean prices since mid-September has accelerated, with January futures now at the lowest level since June 29. Corn prices have moved into the lower half of the trading range that has been in place since mid-September and December futures are at the lowest level since Sept. 28. "So far, prices seem to be following the classic pattern associated with small crops – peaking early in the marketing year and then declining as the year progresses," says University of Illinois Agricultural Economist Darrel Good.
Read the November 2012 Crop Production report.
According to Good, the futures market reflects expectations that prices will continue to decline, especially into the 2013-2014 marketing year. "The expected rebound in South American soybean production, Argentine corn production and U.S. corn and soybean production in 2013 all contribute to the expectation of lower prices," he says. "If those crops are as large as generally expected, prices will be even lower than currently reflected in the futures market."
Good says that the USDA is forecasting record South American production of both crops. "If planted acreage of corn in the United States in 2013 is at the same level as in 2012 and the U.S. average yield is near a trend value of 162.5 bu., the crop would total 14.6 billion bushels, about 1.5 billion larger than the record crop and record consumption of the 2009-2010 marketing year, Good says. Similarly, he reports, if soybean acreage is maintained at the 2012 level and the average yield is near the trend value of 43.8 bushels, the 2013 crop would reach 3.34 billion bushels, near the record levels of 2009 and 2010. A combination of record, or near-record, South American and U.S. crops in 2013 would likely push prices down to or below the long-term averages of about $4.75 for corn and $11 for soybeans.
Read more on the 2013 acreage watch from Brock Associates.
"While the expectation for lower corn and soybean prices in 2013 is reasonable based on historical patterns and prospects for large crops, the timing and speed of the return to more 'normal' prices will be influenced by a large number of factors," Good said. "The final estimate of the size of the 2012 crops to be released on Jan.11, 2013, is one of those factors. For soybeans, the pattern of 2012 yield forecasts to date, lower in September and higher in October and again in November, was experienced six other times in the previous 30 years. The yield estimate released in January following harvest in those six years was above the November forecast three times and below the forecast three times. The deviation ranged from 0.1 to 0.8 bu.," Good says.
History does not provide much guidance for forming expectations this year, Good says. "For corn, the pattern of yield forecasts this year, lower in September and October and higher in November was experienced only two other times," he says. "The January yield estimate equaled the November forecast in one of those years and exceeded the November forecast by 0.7 bu. in the other. Again, history provides little guidance for forming January yield expectations this year," he says.
Harvested acreage and supply
Good says that the bigger issue for corn production may be the January estimate of acreage harvested for grain. There is a general expectation that the USDA's large December survey may reveal fewer acres than currently forecast.
"On the supply side, the progress of the South American crops will be most important for the next three months," Good says. "Weather conditions are currently improving somewhat from early wet conditions in Argentina and dry conditions in central and western Brazil. Some on-going dryness is noted in southern Brazil and Paraguay. Some argue that corn production potential has already been reduced in Argentina. For the near term, markets will likely continue to reflect expectations of very large crops," he says.
Good says that prices will also be influenced by the ongoing rate of consumption of the 2012 U.S. crops. For corn, there is some anticipation that the pace of export activity, which has been extremely slow to date, may accelerate as South American supplies dwindle and Asian customers return to the U.S. market.
"The larger issue, however, surrounds the pace of domestic feed and residual consumption," Good said. "The USDA's estimate of Dec. 1, 2012, stocks to be released on Jan. 11 will provide some much needed clarity to the rate of consumption in the last quarter of the 2011-2012 marketing year and the first quarter of the 2012-2013 marketing year. For soybeans, the National Oilseed Processors Association estimate of the size of the October crush is expected to be released later this week. That estimate will provide insight into the pace of crush relative to the projected rate. The pace of new export sales will also be important, with some concern about cancellations of earlier purchases by some customers.
"Prospects for further price declines for corn and soybean into 2013 favor pricing more of the old and new crop sooner rather than later. However, the transition to lower prices will be erratic so that timing of sales will still be important. Recent price declines, particularly for soybeans, seem to be a little excessive given the amount of production uncertainty," Good says.

We've long been fans of avast! around here. From the antivirus functionality itself to the brilliant anti-theft features with root support, it's one of the absolute best security apps on the Store today – and it keeps getting better. Take the most recent update, for example.
At this point, avast! is already working with a great app, so the most recent additions have been about streamlining. Simplifying. Taking the good and making it great. In the latest release, the company simplified the setup process for the anti-theft service, along with adding a new interface for that part of the app. The improvements don't end with Anti-Theft, either – you can now view your entire activity log with a simple swipe, the recently-implemented File Shield and Folder scanning keep your locally-stored content safe, and the uninstall process for protected apps has been tweaked for additional security. Like I said – it's all about polish at this point.

Anticipating a blitz of automobiles on days that events are held at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Mountain View is moving forward with a pilot program that will place restrictions on parking in the downtown area.
The program, which was approved 6-1 Tuesday with Councilman John Inks opposed, will establish a three-hour parking limit at 11 structures and lots in the downtown area from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. when events are held on weekdays and from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. when events are held on weekends.
According to city staff, that's enough time for a person to visit downtown but not attend a football game.
All-day paid parking will be available at structure 1 and lots 4, 8 and 9. The price will depend on what Caltrain ultimately chooses to charge for its lot at the Mountain View Transit Center.
Street parking in the greater downtown, Willowgate Street and Jackson Street neighborhoods will also be limited to three hours from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. when events are held at the stadium. However, each household will receive two permits for all-day parking.
The majority of the council characterized the program as an attempt to protect the downtown area from being inundated with cars. But several residents said they didn't see it that way.
"The only thing that I've heard the council talk about is, 'Oh … this is going to be protection for the neighborhood,'" Jim Neal said. "I think this is going to be exploitation for the neighborhood. What you're doing is you're turning it into paid parking so that people that live in the area will now have to pay money either directly or indirectly through parking tickets."
Stephen Somerstein said he was worried that the program might lead to paid parking for everyone.
"Let's delay until the problem shows itself and then actions can be taken at the point with respect to solving the problem," he said.
Other members of the public welcomed the program. Andrew Heaton said the city already sees an influx of cars in the downtown area when the San Francisco Giants play at home. People park and take Caltrain.
"I don't feel like we need to wait to see what happens, because we already have a general sense of what can happen," he said. "What happens during Giants games is only a drop in the bucket compared to what's going to happen during Niners games and other events at Levi's Stadium."
Councilman Michael Kasperzak said he was surprised by the negative reaction to the program.
"I think if we didn't do something, I believe we would be really looked down upon for allowing 500 — possibly a thousand — 49ers fans coming and parking wherever they want in downtown Mountain View," he said.
"I think that's literally the alternative. I just don't think you can wait and see what happens."
The Santa Clara Valley Transit Authority expects as many as 600 vehicles to park in Mountain View when games are held at the stadium. From Mountain View, event-goers can take light rail to Santa Clara.
The stadium is scheduled to open next month. Seventeen events are scheduled through April 2015.
Inks said he was in favor of an earlier city staff proposal that only involved timed parking restrictions.
"I'm kind of wondering about the wisdom of actually — as one person has suggested — slipping into paid parking, slipping into permitting without having the experience of how the economics really work ahead of time," said Inks, referring to remarks made by Somerstein.
Councilwoman Ronit Bryant noted that nothing was set in stone.
"The critical point to understand here: It's a pilot program," she said. "Let's give it a try. Let's see if it works. If it works, great. If it's a disaster, do away with it. If there's tweaks, we'll tweak."

Eat for Eight Bucks: Spinach Strata with Sage and Gruyere Recipe
Dinner recipes that will keep your stomach and wallet happy from Cara and Phoebe of Big Girls, Small Kitchen
When I lived with a host family in Paris, day-old baguettes were deeply scorned. If we didn't get through a whole one in a day, the remnants were tossed, or, worse, relegated to the oblivion of the freezer, never to be seen again.
But a strata—essentially a savory French toast—is the best use I know for day-old bread. (If strata were gold, I would have been a very rich college junior living in that apartment.) And now that I've been charmed by them, I make strata from my own bread, even when it's not technically leftover.
You can buy a baguette or some other decent loaf, slice it, and leave it out to achieve maximum staleness. The drier your bread, the more of the cheesy, sage-y goodness it will absorb from the custard. If you actually do have extra bread from last week's meal, by all means, use that. Like cereal before it, strata really does make the most of an old humble staple.
Cheese might be humble too, but not the nutty, mild Gruyere I use here, which enriches and enlivens the dish. Spinach introduces green into the carb-fest, but the long baking time makes it melt in your mouth. Last but not least, sage adds a woodsy, wintry flavor, reminding us of the strata's truest character traits: cozy and comforting.
Shopping List: 1/2 baguette (pro-rated), $1.00; 3 eggs, $0.50; 2 1/2 cups milk, $1.00; 2 tablespoons fresh sage, $1.00; 1.5 ounces baby spinach, $0.50; 1 ounce Parmesan, $1.00; 3 ounces gruyere, $2.50
- 1/2 baguette (to yield about 6 cups of torn bread)
- 1 tablespoon softened butter, plus 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 3 eggs
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh sage, torn
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 medium cloves garlic, minced (about 2 teaspoons)
- 1 1/2 ounces baby spinach (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 3 ounces Gruyere (about 1 1/2 cups, grated)
- 1 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated
Cut the bread into slices about ¾-inch thick. Set on the counter for several hours to dry out, or toast the bread in a 400°F oven for about 5 minutes. Tear each slice into several pieces. You should have about 6 cups.
Grease an 8-inch by 9-inch casserole dish with 1 tablespoon softened butter.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Whisk in milk, sage, salt, pepper, melted butter, and minced garlic until homogenous.
Add the torn bread to the custard, mixing to make sure every piece absorbs some liquid. Stir in spinach and Gruyere. Pour the bread-custard-spinach mixture into prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan and top with more freshly ground pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to sit for 1 hour on the counter, or several hours in the fridge.
Preheat the oven to 375°F about 20 minutes before you're ready to bake the strata.
Bake until the top is browned and slightly puffed and the strata is cooked through, about 45 minutes. Let rest a few minutes before serving warm.

Prior to Honda's grand unveiling — and our first drive — of the 2012 Honda Civic next week during the New York Auto Show, we're getting a chance to see the exterior and interior on the 2012 Honda Civic thanks to the folks at 9thCivic. Run for the hills!
The forumites snagged these shots of some production Civic sedans as they're being sent out for delivery to dealerships.
We're also told the 2012 Honda Civic sedan will be available for sale on April 20th, with the coupes available shortly afterward. The 2012 Civic Si will be available to purchase approximately two weeks after the initial launch.
Will there be even a dollop of a pretense of enthusiast enthusiasm left in Honda's latest generation of the Civic? We guess you'll have to wait until next week to find out.

The What Makes You Beautiful hitmaker revealed an image on Instagram.com on Sunday (27Jul14) featuring himself on the back of a yacht seemingly naked, with his private parts censored.
In the caption, he pretended he had lost his underwear by writing, "Damn that was my last pair!"
The picture caused a storm with fans but they were left disappointed hours later when Payne posted the image again without any pixellation - revealing he was wearing underwear all along.
He wrote, "Oh I found them never mind aha (sic)."

OKLAHOMA CITY, May 1 (UPI) -- The Oklahoman apparently felt bad after publishing a story with the headline "Mr. Unreliable" in reference to Oklahoma Thunder star Kevin Durant, so the paper issued an apology.
OKC newspaper blasts Kevin Durant with huge 'Mr. Unreliable' headline: http://t.co/c8X3K2eY4z pic.twitter.com/OG02vnJthN
— NBC Sports Network (@NBCSN) May 1, 2014
The question is, did Durant's mother have anything to do with it?
After seeing the headline in the paper, Wanda Pratt went on Twitter and defended her son.
Typical Oklahoman on Kevin. UNBELIEVABLE!!
KEVIN is RELIABLE!!!— Wanda Pratt (@MamaDurant) May 1, 2014
His little brother chimed in as well.
Mr. Unreliable huh? Smh!!!!!!— IM ME!!!!! (@LifeOfTonyD35) May 1, 2014
The paper's sports editor, Mike Sherman, issued an apology soon afterwards.
"Thursday's headline in The Oklahoman on Kevin Durant's performance in the Memphis series missed the mark," Sherman wrote. "The words were overstated and unduly harsh. The headline and presentation left the impression that we were commenting on Durant's season, career or even character. We were not. We were referring only to the Memphis series. The fact the headline and presentation left that impression with so many readers is proof that we failed."
Pratt was much more receptive to what another news outlet had to say about Durant.
@NEWS9 Thank you! Appreciate your support and kind words.— Wanda Pratt (@MamaDurant) May 1, 2014
Durant on The Oklahoman's headline: "That's what they're supposed to write. I didn't come through for the team."— Darnell Mayberry (@DarnellMayberry) May 1, 2014
Even if his teammate, Russell Westbrook, was not.
Westbrook on the headline: "That's BS in my eyes."— Darnell Mayberry (@DarnellMayberry) May 1, 2014
The Thunder and the Grizzlies will play in Memphis tonight. Memphis is leading their first-round playoff series 3-2 and will look to eliminate OKC for the second straight year.

JERUSALEM Here's some news you may never hear about Israel's war against Hezbollah: a missile falls into the sea, a strategic military installation is hit, a Cabinet minister plans to visit the front lines.
All these topics are subject to review by Israel's chief military censor, who has -- in her own words -- "extraordinary power." She can silence a broadcaster, block information and put journalists in jail.
"I can, for example, publish an order that no material can be published. I can close a newspaper or shut down a station. I can do almost anything," Col. Sima Vaknin said Wednesday.
Israel believes that as a small country in a near constant state of conflict, having a say over what information gets out to the world is vital to its security. Critics say the policy is a slippery slope not fit for a democracy.
The range of issues subject to censorship in the latest conflict with Lebanese guerrillas are all related to the goal of preventing Hezbollah from using the media to help it better aim rockets at Israel.
The Associated Press has agreed, like other organizations, to abide by the rules of the censor, which is a condition for receiving permission to operate as a media organization in Israel.
Reporters are expected to censor themselves and not report any of the forbidden material. This story was not submitted to a censor. When in doubt, they can submit a story to the censor who will hand it back, possibly with deletions. The AP will note in a story if any deletions have been made. If a reporter violates the rules, he or she suffers the consequences.
The rules include no real-time reports giving the exact locations of guerrilla missile hits; no reports of missile hits -- or misses -- on strategic targets; and no reports telling when citizens are allowed to leave their bunkers for supplies.
Journalists are also not allowed to give details about senior Israeli officials going to the north, where Hezbollah's rockets are falling, until the officials have left the area. They also cannot report places where there aren't enough shelters or where public defense is weak.
So far in this conflict, about one rocket in 100 fired by Hezbollah has killed an Israeli. The rest usually explode in empty fields, tear concrete from abandoned streets or plunk into the Mediterranean. Fired blind, Hezbollah's thousands of mostly short-range, inaccurate munitions simply pose a random peril to Israeli citizens.
For obvious reasons, Israel would like to keep it that way. But live media feedback, the censor says, changes everything.
If a news outlet reports immediately that a missile splashed into the sea, for example, any guerrilla with an Internet connection knows to aim left. Report that an oil refinery in Haifa went up in flames, and Hezbollah will surely celebrate and reload. Report that a senior official is headed north, and rockets will be raining down in no time.
Or so goes the logic of censorship.
But in an era when mobile phones have cameras and the terrorists' weapons include laptops and video crews, even the chief censor acknowledges that a complete blockade of news is in many cases not possible.
"Not in 2006," she says.
Restrictions on the media are not unique to Israel. The United States military makes journalists embedded with troops in Iraq sign a document agreeing not to report specifics of troop movements and attacks in real time, for reasons similar to Israel's.
Critics say the censorship system is worse than ineffective -- it's undemocratic, often counterproductive and a violation of freedom of speech.
"People are entitled to get as much information as they can about what's happening in a conflict," says Rohan Jahasekera, associate editor of the London-based magazine, the Index of Censorship.
Israel's censorship rules are not unusual, he adds, but "it's unusual in that they're enforced."
Jahasekera also disputed arguments that reporting missile landings helped Hezbollah, since the rockets the Islamic militants use are "spectacularly inaccurate."
Bob Steele, Nelson Scholar for Journalism Values at the Poynter Institute, a media studies organization, says editors should bear the responsibility for decisions to publish or not.
"These are decisions that the news organizations and journalists should make with the input of government and military officials," he said. "They should not be decisions that are made by default."
"We should always push back on censorship," Steele adds, "even if it's a losing fight. "

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — The number of people who applied to receive unemployment benefits in the last week of January fell by 20,000, reversing the increase from the week before and signaling that the U.S. labor market continues to gradually improve.
Initial jobless claims fell to a seasonally adjusted 331,000 in the seven-days ended Feb. 1 from a revised 351,000 in the prior week, the Labor Department said Thursday. Claims from two weeks ago were 3,000 higher than first reported.
Economists polled by MarketWatch had expected claims to total 337,000.
"We see jobless claims as consistent with a gradual improvement in labor market conditions," said senior economist Bricklin Dwyer at BNP Paribas.
The average of new claims over the past month, usually a more reliable gauge than the weekly number, edged down by 250 to 334,000. That put claims close to their level before the Thanksgiving holiday in late November.
A separate report from outplacement firm Challenger Gray, meanwhile, showed a 47% increase in planned layoffs in January, but the increase comes after announced job cuts in December fell to a 13-yar low. The bulk of the reductions are expected in the retail business as companies close some stores and alter staff levels to account for the accelerating shift toward online shopping.
The rate of layoffs late in 2013 matched a record low, according to the Labor Department's most recent JOLTS report.
Over the past two years, the U.S. has added an average of about 180,000 jobs a month. A modest increase in hiring and dwindling layoffs has largely fueled the rise in employment, though the U.S. still hasn't recovered all the jobs it lost during the Great Recession.
The U.S. employment report on Friday will offer another window into labor-market trends. Some economists expect a big bounceback from December's surprisingly small 74,000 increase while others think unusually cold and snowy weather in January could have depressed hiring for the second straight month.
Meanwhile, the government said continuing jobless claims increased by 15,000 to a seasonally adjusted 2.96 million in the week ended Jan. 25. Continuing claims, reported with a one-week delay, reflect the number of people already receiving benefits.

Axel Salvatori-Sinz's movie "Shebabs of Yarmouk" had its Palestinian premier at the Franco-Arab film festival.
"Dear Hassan, it is my turn to write."
Axel Salvatori-Sinz, a French moviemaker, is back in Paris. He's writing to a friend from Yarmouk, a camp for Palestinian refugees in Damascus, after having spent several months in Syria's war-torn capital.
The camera is shaking as he drives through the rainy French streets, his words appearing on the screen. But Yarmouk is no longer there: In the civil war that is raging in Syria, 60% of the camp has been destroyed. Neither is Hassan:
"One day, authorities said to your family you had died the day of your arrest. -- They refused to give your body back. Who knows about the Syrian regime?"
This short film was the poignant start of the Franco-Arab film festival, organized by the French Institute of Jerusalem, in Ramallah on Thursday the 5th of June. It served as an introduction to Shebabs of Yarmouk, Salvatori-Sinz' first documentary film, which tells the stories of Hassan and his friends living in the camp.
Behind the scenes
Salvatori-Sinz filmed Shebabs of Yarmouk from 2009 to 2011, just before the start of the Syrian revolution. He had come to know the five friends while working for a cultural center in the camp and moved to live with their families to shoot the movie.
"It was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life", he said. "These people gave me so much."
Officially, filming in Syria is not allowed. To be seen as a tourist, Salvatori-Sinz used only simple equipment. Most of the movie is shot inside the houses or out of the windows.
In the one scene in which the director films Tasmeen and Sameer sitting on a rooftop, a man from the opposite building starts staring at them and appears to be making phone calls. The group decides to move back inside.
"In Syria, you have to always be careful with the mukhabarat", Salvatori-Sinz said, referring to the country's infamously brutal intelligence service.
Last images of Yarmouk
Salvatori-Sinz says Yarmouk used to be the "capital of Palestine existing outside of Palestine." It was the biggest Palestinian refugee camp in Syria and served as a gathering point for Palestinian fighters.
According to UNRWA, the United Nations Work and Relief Agency, Yarmouk was home to more than 148,500 registered refugees before Syria's civil war began in March of 2011. Although the majority of them fled fighting in the capital, in July 2013 government forces besieged 20,000 inhabitants that were still living in the camp.
In March 2014, at least 128 people died after a famine broke out in the camp due to the government blockade.
"I can't believe that the only thing remaining in the camp are the memories I have in my mind," Salvatori-Sinz writes in his short film. Unwillingly, his movie became a contemporary archive of Yarmouk.
Palestinian youth, people like anyone else
At the movie screening in Ramallah, one member of the audience criticized the director for not mentioning Israel, the source of the refugee problem. But for Salvatori-Sinz, the aim of the movie is not to focus on the characters' Palestinian side, but first and foremost, to show them as human beings just like anyone else.
This is also what we see in the movie: Young people playing cards together, balancing between their parents' expectations and their own dreams, worrying about having enough money to marry.
At the same time, Shebabs of Yarmouk portrays an image of Arab youth not often in the Western world. Even in the Arab region, it might challenge some conservative perceptions: The shebab (young people in Arabic) in the camp smoke, drink, and even have sex before marriage.
Yet being a Palestinian inevitably leaves a mark on the young people's lives. Living in the camp means a modest lifestyle, and even getting a passport or a visa is an extra challenge compared to Syrians.
Many have a mixed relationship to Yarmouk: This is the home of their loved-ones, but also a place with few opportunities.
The land of marvelous oranges
To leave or not is one of the central questions for these Palestinian youth. While Hassan wants to stay in the camp, Ala'a decides to immigrate to Chile with his wife.
Salvatori-Sinz said he could see the change in his friends during the years he spent with them: At first politically motivated young people, they began to shift their focus toward constructing their own lives.
"Tell me, is leaving a solution?" asks a father, a second-generation refugee, to his son in one scene of the movie.
The son takes a moment before answering: "It is an individual solution, not a collective one."
For many young people in the camp, Palestine has become a myth.
"They hear a lot about it, for example how oranges and olives there were marvelous," Salvatori-Sinz said. "But not everyone would necessarily like to return to live in Palestine if they could. The refugees are very divided on this issue."
The filmmaker considers the right of return more like a legitimate right that the Palestinians are campaigning for. However, many young people do not really believe in it.
"Some of the refugees might feel even more Palestinian now that they have had to flee from Yarmouk to other countries," Salvatori-Sinz said. "They don't have any land to belong to anymore."
Forgotten refugees
For the next week, the director will be presenting his film around Palestine. It is the first time that he is visiting the West Bank.
"I feel guilty of being here. I can enter this place with my French passport while my friends from the camp can't", he said.
At the same time, Salvatori-Sinz thinks it is good to show the film here. While the Palestinians abroad are focused on their right of return, Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza are preoccupied with their own problems.
"During all what was happening in Yarmouk, people here didn't really mobilize to support the refugees", he said.
For even some of the characters, watching the movie was an eye-opening experience.
"When Tasmeen saw the film, she came to me and said it was magnificent. But she also said that their lives looked really hard for an outsider," Salvatori-Sinz said.
"I only wish I could have presented the film with the shebab, but this never happened. Again, I'm becoming successful because of the movie while they are struggling to create new lives in foreign countries. It's not fair," he said.
The French director is currently working on two movies, one of which will follow the destinies of the shebab. For him, it is important to make their stories remembered: The young Palestinians might not have the right to return, but at least they have the right to exist.
The Franco-Arab film festival continues until the 15th of June 2014. Screenings are organized in Bethlehem, Gaza, Hebron, Jerusalem, Nablus, and Ramallah. Visit the Facebook page of the event here: www.facebook.com/FFFA2014

Post subject: Stable WiFi configurator/configuration
Subject description: Trouble with DLink wifi card on 4.0 beta 2 "3.99" vs 3.01
3.01 Full Install is great, and for wifi on my older Dell laptop with a PCMCIA DLink 650 I use the NDIS wrapper and it works great. I save my settings and everytime I boot after that, the wireless comes up on boot. Perfect.
On a different partition I installed 3.99. The same wireless device is recognized as ath_pci for wireless, Enter wlan wpa2 info, wizard status bar takes and while and says "WPA didn't connect" but the networking defice is recognized, and AUTO DHCP works. Networking is fine for that session. If I reboot, no wireless and I have to go through the network config again. I can choose the NDIS wrapper as in 3.01 but I have to load the ath_pci again in order to be able to unload it to try another driver (took me a little while to figure that out). The NDIS driver will also work fine that session, but when I reboot, again no wireless without running net config again.
- In 3.01 the ping command delivers 64 bytes, in 3.99 its 56
- In 3.01 ifconfig just shows lo and wireless, with the ip info listed under wireless... In 3.99 ifconfig shows ath_pci, lo and wireless with the ip info under neath ath_pci
- Loading the ath_pci driver in 3.01 does not recognize the DLink 650 as compatible hardware
I saw some comments and code changes in the 3.99 rc.network file that talked about a bugfix, but unfortunately for me, the NDIS wrapper in 3.01 works better than the native ath_pci driver in 3.99.
I haven't tried full installing 3.01 and then booting off the 3.99 disk and upgrading yet.

Subject description: better wireless/laptop support
It's not enough to include various drivers that do not work, or that only work part way (for example the r8180/8185 or the zydas 1211 usb which can scan networks but not connect open or in any encrypted mode).
I have tried every Puppy distro from 1.09 up to 4, and truly long for working wireless for my laptops!
Also would be nice if Puppy supported my touch pad, but I'd settle for wireless.

I'm shooting in the dark here but have you tried this patch?
just wondering
tons of network improvements were never placed into puppy 3.01 or 4 series because of other issues but you can have a look at this forum link
please do tell how it all went
<-- excellent site

Thanks for trying, but the forum link you sent is something I've already tried without success, and the "patch" over wrote newer packages. That patch by the way doesn't support wpa or wpa2 either. Kinda made things worse.
So here's another idea for future Puppies-add a sanity check to packages if they are about to over write the newer version.

I cleanly installed 4.00 and had the same results as listed above with 3.99. I tried the network-wiz-update-Oct5.pet and madwifi-0.9.3.3-patch-k184.108.40.206.pet with no improvements.
I would love to fix this. I feel like I am close, especially since my wireless DLink 650 rev C works fine in 3.01.
Now that 4.0 is out I feel I should start this thread somewhere else.
I would be willing to submit log files, configuration files or anything else to help get this resolved.
Thanx in advance

Post subject: PCMCIA support on a Puppy Boot Floppy
Subject description: pcmcia support on a boot floppy would allow booting from Pcmcia scsi or flash
For laptops without an IDE CDROM drive or USB support, booting a new version of Puppy is impossible, except by doing a hard drive install.
What's needed is a boot floppy that provides pcmcia support and modules for pcmcia_scsi host adapters or pcmcia flash card readers. Then these systems could be booted from the LiveCD or from flash.
Ideally, the floppy would be configurable, so that only the modules required to boot would be needed on the disk. This would both make it possible to get everything needed to boot on one floppy, and reduce the bootup time (and wear and tear on the drive) significantly.

Extraction of boot files from ISO image needs to be altered to a separate download. Example pupboot301.tar.gz for the bootables, and pupmain301.tar.gz as the functional files of the OS.
Bootables need the option to format a storage (USB/HDD/FDD) drive with boot partition, placing said boot files within.
This does away with the ISO file requirement, having the OS evolve to two compressed files. A direct approach would be offered, and may help with ortopogo's request. S/He could extract the bootfiles to a floppy, from the HDD, and make it write-protect.

boot option or script for additional sfs files
Subject description: minpupXXX.sfs + boot options for fullpupXXX.sfs zdrv or pupletXXX.sfs etc...
maybe modify initrd to add .sfs files using opt=/path/a.sfs,/path/b.sfs as a boot option
having a boot option for optionally (not automatically) loading additional sfs files would have the following benefits: (in no particular order)
Minimal and full version in about the same space as the full version (just add options in menu.lst)
kernel (cd)/dingo4_2/vmlinuz psubdir=dingo4_2 opt=fulpup42.sfs
It would help solve the zdrvXXX.sfs issue (just add options to menu.lst)
kernel (cd)/dingo4_2/vmlinuz psubdir=dingo4_2 opt=zdrv_42.sfs,fulpup.sfs
Would make for a better frugal install from fast boot into ram to every sfs the user could ever want to load
Could allow for creation of the Ultimate multi-boot CD
EX_1. title Puppy Dingo 4.2 - wonder dog
root (cd)
kernel (cd)/dingo4_2/vmlinuz psubdir=dingo4_2 opt=/zdrv_42.sfs,/fulpup42.sfs,/oofice24.sfs,/kde359.sfs
EX_2. title MacAttackDog
root (cd)
kernel (cd)/dingo4_2/vmlinuz psubdir=macpup opt=/ooffice.sfs, /opera.sfs
The possibilities are endless.
This is similar to the /optional folder in DSL which creates a menu icon that allows installation from the menu after bootup - here is a link

Actually, its functionality should be merged into PetGet. Barry said once that his original plan was to have such a feature built in, but never got around to doing it. With the latest incarnation of the package manager, it shouldn't be hard to add it, UI wise.
This is one of the things I plan to do in the next Pizzapup, if Barry doesn't do it first. I think that once the work has been done, adding it to Puppy wouldn't be a big deal. Barry's a busy guy, so he has to pick and choose what he works on.

Post subject: Logging
I would like to see options at boot, such as:
puppy pfix=nolog ##disable logging for that session
puppy pfix=log ##force logging to a single file
puppy pfix=clearlog ##clear all default system logs
Seems it would be pretty strait forward. Would be help to those of us trying to keep down the size of our save file, and would help those in development.
So PLEASE

HI, perhaps I'm in the wrong place and the wrong position but as a new-to-Linux user with little know how, what would help make Puppy more successful with more people is if it had better support for video drivers. the problem I've faced with Puppy all along has been getting it to work with my video card, especially 3d accelleration. if I could download an iso and burn it and boot to it and have it work without fighting with the video card it would make a huge difference. it isn't so bad to deal with the sound cards or network stuff but if the video doesn't work you're kinda dead in the water. I have other wants but this one I feel is kinda critical. I've recommended Puppy to people only to have them tell me they couldn't get it going. seriously I've been waiting for the longest time for Linux to catch up with "the opperating system which must not be named" as far as supported hardware. if it worked I'd switch completely!

Guidelines & Information for Inservice Students
Parking: All resident students are to park in the student parking lot located on the North Side of the main building of the Academy complex. Commuter students may park in either the North or South parking lots, but not in front (East) of the building. Leave your luggage, clothing and personal articles in your car until you have completed registration.
Registration: Enter the main building through the front door and go to reception area to register, then go immediately to the Quartermaster window.
Tuition: If your course or seminar is of a tuition nature please bring cash, certified check, money order, claim voucher or personal check. Presentation of one of these methods of payment will be required when you register at Quartermaster.
Academy Security: An identification badge will be issued to you and it is to be visibly displayed at all times. You will also need to state your ID number to the monitor each time you eat in the cafeteria.
All buildings within the Academy complex are areas of controlled access. Entrance doors into the main building will be kept locked at all times except as follows: Main entrance doors will be open and monitored Monday through Friday 0700 - 1900 hours. Entry is to be through the main entrance only. In-service students may exit through either the North or South doors (adjacent to student parking lots) at the end of the training day.
In-service students have no curfew however, after 1900 hours the ID badge must be shown to the Staff Duty Officer to gain entrance.
Any attempt to breach security by propping open doors, admitting someone to the Academy through a locked door, etc., may result in immediate dismissal from the Academy.
Dress Code: The Executive Director, through his staff, will refuse classroom/field exercise participation to any person whose dress or cleanliness reflects unfavorably upon that person's employing department, the Law Enforcement Training Board, or the staff of the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy. Jail Officers will be expected to wear their department uniform or a polo shirt with their department logo on it.
Clothing worn must be clean, in good repair, and appropriate for the type of training being presented or received. Shorts, cut-offs, shirts without collars (T-shirts), and sandals are inappropriate during the normal classroom day and in the cafeteria. To avoid embarrassment we ask that you use good judgment in what you wear while at the Academy.
Firearms: No firearm of any type is to be taken into student living quarters. All students in residence will be issued a key to a gun locker for securing firearms. The gun lockers are located in the hallway just south of Quartermaster. Commuter and one-day seminar students are permitted to wear their firearm in classrooms, cafeteria and all common areas. Leaving weapons in vehicles is not recommended. (The maximum security Indiana Reception and Diagnostic Center for convicted felons, Boys' School, and Plainfield Correctional Facility are adjacent to this Academy.)
Dormitory Rooms: Students in residence are expected to maintain their assigned room in a clean and orderly condition. Dormitory rooms are subject to inspection at any time for purposes of safety, sanitation and rule violations. You may want to bring an alarm clock to assist you in arriving on time for classes and formations.
Tobacco Use: Smoking or chewing tobacco or dipping snuff is not permitted in any building on the Academy complex. Students may smoke in designated outdoor areas, but chewing and spitting are not permitted on Academy property.
Meals: (Tuition Courses) Meals served during the period of your course are included in the fee paid. You are asked to notify your course OIC if you are not going to eat so food will not be wasted. PLEASE NOTE: Due to mandatory budget cuts, evening meals will not be served here at the Academy. There are several restaurants in the area and you will be on your own for this meal.
Additional: No alcoholic beverages are permitted on Academy property except those which are used in approved, scheduled classes. Intoxication on Academy property is grounds for dismissal from training.
Gambling of any kind is forbidden.
Sexual harassment and lewd or lascivious conduct will not be tolerated.
Profane language in common areas where it may be overheard, by children and visitors, will be deemed conduct unbecoming an officer.
While officers are driving to and from the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy, they should remember to lead by example and drive responsibly. This helps the ILEA and all of law enforcement maintain a good relationship with the community.
In-service students are asked to set a positive and professional example for student officers attending basic classes.
NOTE: For complete information on Academy rules and regulations, refer to the Student Handbook on your dormitory desk. If you are a commuter student, copies of the handbook are on file in the Learning Resources Center and at the Quartermaster window.

Abstract and Keywords
The phenomenon of illegal markets is pervasive. The circulation of illegal goods and services reaches all social segments, crosses national boundaries, and produces enormous revenues. Scholarship has typically addressed issues of illegal exchanges by focusing on criminal organizations, their members' activities, internal structures, and businesses while leaving the very notion of illegal markets conceptually underdeveloped. Different from organized crime, the notion of "illegal market" compels us to consider the demand side and to investigate the varied ways it relates to the supply side. Following the path opened up by economic sociology scholarship, this article brings illegal markets to the center of the scene in order to develop them conceptually, observe them in a differentiated way, and investigate their relationships with legal structures. From this perspective, the social organization of markets comes to the fore, highlighting such aspects as the formal and informal institutions sustaining illegal markets; the modes of internal coordination that deal with problems such as value, competition, or trust; moral attitudes toward the production, exchange, or consumption of certain products or services; the cultural elements or cognitive dispositions that promote illegal exchanges; the role of state power in defining what is and is not illegal, and thus how it controls certain exchanges; and the role of the enforcement of the law in the emergence, expansion, or extinction of these markets.
Keywords: illegal markets, organized crime, social legitimacy, formal legality, informal institutions, economic sociology

"Here is looking at you, Kid" by Berlin-based artist Aram Bartholl, is a low-tech way of fixing the annoying aspect of video conferencing where participants are not making "eye-contact" through their web cameras. Rather than looking at the camera, the typical person stares at their screen, thus not making eye contact with the person they are chatting with. The device is made of a mirror, some glass with mirror foil, and a piece of cardboard, in order to mimic what a teleprompter does to text for a TV news anchor. The result allows the viewer's eye contact to connect with the person and a final manufacturer fix might be to integrate the camera behind the LCD screen so that you can actually look directly at the other person.

If there's a living king and crown prince of bluegrass, it's Del McCoury and Sam Bush. And we here at The Sitch are simply over the moon to have spent time in their royal presence at The Birchmere Theatre in Alexandria, Virginia this November, just as they were warming up for the first night of their unprecedented duo tour.
And speaking of unprecedented, just wait 'til you get to 2:25. We won't spoil what happens, suffice it to say... well. Just watch.
Sam and Del McCoury are teaming up for a highly anticipated string of tour dates that began in November 2012. The performances, "An Acoustic Evening with Del McCoury and Sam Bush," brought two of the finest bluegrass music artists together for a series of rare appearances. To quote Sam, "I first saw Del at the Roanoke Bluegrass Festival in 1966 and have been waiting for this opportunity to tour together ever since. We invite you to come join the fun as two old friends make music and swap stories onstage."
Del McCoury has one of the most-storied careers in Bluegrass history. His award collection includes a Grammy, as well as numerous Grammy nominations, nine IBMA Entertainer of the Year Awards, membership in the Grand Ole Opry, and a National Heritage Fellowship. He has collaborated with everyone from Dierks Bentley to Phish, and has his own festival, DelFest, coming up on it's sixth year. His most recent release is a tribute to Bill Monroe entitled Old Memories: The Songs of Bill Monroe on McCoury Music.
Though both Sam & Del grew up playing traditional bluegrass, their openness to expanding the genre has set them apart in recent years bringing numerous young fans to the music. Watch for additional dates to be announced during the year.
Theme by Danetsoft and Danang Probo Sayekti inspired by Maksimer
