Bulletin HASKINS & SELLS 21 THE futility of tinkering with laws affecting accounting without recognizing and following certain generally accepted accounting concepts is manifest in the last amendments to the New York Stock Corporation law in the act which became effective May 24, 1923. The term capital as it applies to corporations is well understood. There is no misunderstanding as to the meaning of cash dividends. It is a principle of sound business policy and a matter of general statutory mandate that cash dividends may not be paid out of capital. Yet in the State of New York, as the law now stands, it appears that under certain conditions and in corporations chartered since May 24, 1923, violation of the principle is possible without violation of the law. As the New York law stood prior to the last amendment, dividends might not be made except out of surplus profits arising from the business of a corporation, nor could a corporation divide, withdraw, or in any way pay to any of its stockholders any part of the capital of such corporation. This should have been sufficiently clear for anyone of average intelligence. Apparently, however, some of the problems created by the ill-advised New York law authorizing capital stock without par value in both preferred and common classes made revision of the section covering dividends seem desirable. At any rate the section of the New York law relating to dividends has been changed to read as follows: "No stock corporation shall declare or pay any dividend which shall impair its capital or capital stock, nor while its capital or capital stock is impaired, nor shall any such corporation declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution of assets to any of its stockholders, whether upon a reduction of the number of its shares or of its capital or capital stock, unless the value of its assets remaining after the payment of such dividend, or after such distribution of assets, as the case may be, shall be at least equal to the aggregate amount of its debts and liabilities including capital or capital stock as the case may be. . . ." Taken by itself and stripped of its legal verbiage the substance of this section is that dividends shall not be paid out of capital, or as long as the capital is impaired. But by the terms of the same law as amended May 24, 1923, capital in the case of corporations having shares without par value may be determined in one of two ways. One way is sufficiently sound and tight, so to speak, to preclude any question with regard to dividends. The other way leaves a loophole through which it appears to be possible to pay dividends out of actual paid-in capital so long as a part of such capital is technically and legally designated as surplus. The present law, after amendment on May 24, 1923, relating to corporations having shares without par value, which shares, incidentally, may be both preferred and common, provides that the certificate of incorporation shall include either of the following statements: More Non-par-stock Trouble

Beloved community member passes away
Wes Bishop, longtime Director of Physical Therapy at Rolling Plains Memorial Hospital (RPMH) and beloved community member died over the weekend.Bishop had served in his position at the hospital for 36 years. As a result of Bishop's instrumental work in planning, fundraising and development, the two-hundred square foot department in 1977 expanded to a 2,000 square-foot department in 1982 and then to a 6,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art complex in 1998. Also in 1982, he was the first recipient of the hospital's prestigious Dr. Frist Humanitarian Award. Bishop was very involved in the community, serving on the Sweetwater ISD School Board for 10 years. The city and county recently honored Bishop by reading proclamations for Wes Bishop Day. He was also named Outstanding Male Citizen for 2013 at the annual Chamber of Commerce Banquet. See his full obituary on Page 3 of today's edition or our online Obituaries section.

Hurricane Sandy destroyed thousands of cars and trucks at dealerships along the East Coast, but automotive suppliers survived with relatively little damage.
Still, the storm offers a useful reminder to North American purchasing chiefs: Have you taken a census of your suppliers? Do you know where your bottlenecks are? Are you ready for the next Big One?
As many as 123 suppliers on the Eastern Seaboard were in or near the storm's path, according to the Original Equipment Suppliers Association, citing data from ELM Analytics, a suburban Detroit research firm.
One potential headache was the Port of Newark, an important shipping terminal for European suppliers as well as automakers. That port was forced to shut down for a few days after New Jersey got hammered.
Yet suppliers weathered the storm with nary a hiccup, according to OESA President Neil De Koker. "We were lucky with the weather," De Koker said. "I have not heard of any significant disruptions."

Gloucester man accused of animal cruelty in court
GLOUCESTER, Mass. (AP) — A Gloucester man police say cut open his dog to retrieve heroin the animal had swallowed is headed back to court.
John Dugan is scheduled to appear in district court on Tuesday for a status hearing on animal cruelty charges.
Authorities allege the 27-year-old Dugan cut open the pit bull to get at the drugs in December, then disposed of the body.
Dugan has pleaded not guilty and is free on $20,000 bail.
Dugan's lawyer tells the Gloucester Daily Times (http://bit.ly/XlgG55 ) that the charge should be dismissed because the dog died from ingesting heroin, and was already dead when he cut it open. If convicted, he faces up to five years in prison.
Dugan does not face drug charges because no heroin was ever found at his home.

I have to admit, despite the bubbling geyser of geeky joy that the sheer possibility of an Avengers film elicited, and despite the somewhat awkward and consuming love I have for Joss Whedon, I was nervous about this film.
I did my best to avoid news, clips, and spoilers of any kind in preparation for this review, so it wasn't the product itself that had my hackles up, it was the idea of the movie. It was due to years of conditioned responses. As a comics fan, I couldn't not watch all the superhero films over the last few decades, despite the pain. So for my fear, you can thank Hollywood. And by thank, I mean blame.
After a while I became resigned to living in a world of subpar superhero films, churned out by studio heads that earned their stereotypical image as greedy, soulless automatons that could care less for the properties that so many of us loved.
But a funny thing happened on the way to the 21st century. The comics industry began to mature, and the film industry began to understand that audiences' tastes were changing. The studios started to realize that treating these properties with respect could be wildly successful and attract an already dedicated fanbase, while also appealing to a more traditional mainstream group. That is a lesson still being learned, despite a few bumps in the road. The highly respected and acclaimed Dark Knight cleared a billion dollars, while the rage-inducing and badly received Green Lantern barely made back its $200 mil budget.
The evolution of this shocking idea of making good superhero films arguably reached its zenith with the formation of Marvel Studios under Disney's umbrella. Beginning with Iron Man, Marvel had a vision. A big, sprawling, multi-year vision, that would cost hundreds of millions of dollars and culminate with what is arguably one of the biggest gambles in entertainment history. There were so many moving parts to deal with, and anyone of them could have ruined the The Avengers. Egos could explode, the characters could step on each other, the plot could fail to surpass the lead-in movies, and a dozen other problems could arise.
Somehow, despite all the potential pitfalls, Joss Whedon and Marvel Studios nailed it and created what may be the best superhero film yet.
The Avengers is also a movie that expects you to have watched the previous films. It is a sequel to Iron Man 1&2, Thor, and Captain America: The First Avenger, not a standalone story that uses the same characters. If you haven't seen even one of these four films, you are going to be at a slight disadvantage (seeing the 2008 The Incredible Hulk wouldn't hurt either, but it's narrative isn't as directly tied into The Avengers, and the change from Ed Norton to Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner somewhat isolates that film anyway). Characters from the previous films pick up stories on the fly. There is no time spent explaining the backstory of anyone or anything, and it is a given that you understand the characters, their motivations, and their unique abilities. Fans will appreciate that, while virgins to the Marvel films may be a bit lost but should still enjoy the film for what it is.
By the way, this review will be entirely spoiler free. The plot is solid, and works well within the framework created in the previous Marvel films. Knowing the machinations of the villain Loki won't make anyone go see The Avengers or skip it. The explanation for bringing the characters together is sound, and each of their reactions to the situation makes sense. The plot is actually fairly simple, but in a good way. Perhaps a better word for it would be streamlined.
From the first moment, the movie jumps right into the action. It then gives the necessary time for the team to feel each other out, and logically that is where the film should drag. That's why they hired Joss Whedon.
Whedon is a comic book fan, and it shows. He understands the archetype these characters represent, and how they should rub against each other. Whedon, who wrote the screenplay and co-wrote the story along with Zak Penn, also knows how to twist dialog to make even a dull conversation interesting. It is a staple of his career, and The Avengers is no exception.
With The Avengers, Whedon is free to write to his strengths, and create both dialog and moments that could only exist in this medium. Several times throughout the movie, moments pop up that could only come from the mind of a comics fan—stuff nobody else would think of. For example, there are two moments during the final battle that had the audience in rapture, and both are moments that are utterly unexpected–and yet make total sense in the predetermined boundaries of this universe. You'll know them when you see them.
This Whedon kid has potential. He keeps the film—which is actually a fairly straightforward tale of good guys versus bad guys—continually feeling fresh and surprising. If you are a fan of the man, then rest assured that you will be delighted with the results. Plus, it means that from here he can go off to do anything he wants. Perhaps he will bring back Firefly just to watch fans' heads explode in shock.
The biggest and most obvious fear surrounding The Avengers was always the very real possibility that the screen simply could not contain that much ego. No fewer than seven of this film's stars are leading men and women, and that isn't counting the supporting cast. But even beyond that, the characters themselves are at risk of overshadowing one another, or even letting the beloved character they portray drift into the shadows.
For this film to succeed, a balance needed to be struck, and it was. Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man/Tony Stark does garner a bit more screen time and his character has the most significant story arc of any, but each character has his or her moments. Of all the stars, the weakest is probably Chris Hemsworth's Thor, but it is by degrees.
The two most surprising performances belong to Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner/Hulk, and Tom Hiddleston's Loki. Raffalo's Banner is deliberately and appropriately muted—after all, how much can you hope to get out of a guy who's life ambition is not to get mad—but the Hulk repeatedly steals the show, again and again. Every scene with the Hulk is memorable.
But the lynchpin of the movie is Hiddleston, who adds layers and depth to what could have been a traditional villain. He is likable in all his scenes, and yet arrogant enough that you enjoy rooting for Loki to get what's coming to him. While all the actors do a good job, Hiddleston is the one whose career I am most interested to see in the future.
And then there are the special effects. They are as good as any, in any movie. They set the new bar, and are seamless enough that you don't realize how good they are until you stop to think about it later. The final battle especially just wows. There is so much going on during that fight, that it will take multiple viewings to catch it all.
It all just comes together and works. If you want to nitpick, there are things you can focus on: the music was forgettable, a bit more epilogue would have been nice, and some might think the start of the film drags (I am not among those), but The Avengers is the movie comic book fans have been dreaming about since they first heard of Marvel's gloriously mad plan.
The moment of desperation and terror at Marvel has passed, and one of the biggest gambles in entertainment history is poised to make all the doubters change their tune, and all the supporters look like geniuses. The Avengers is here, and it is good. It is also probably going to make a billion dollars, and that is good news for all of us.
The Avengers isn't the best film of the year, but it may be the most enjoyable. It feels like a reward to fans that survived all the bad superhero films, and those same fans will get the most out of this one. My inner child that grew up reading The Avengers comics highly recommends this film, and the adult version completely agrees.

Poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac are native American plants. These plants cause an allergic reaction in most people who are exposed to them. To be allergic to poison ivy, you must come in contact with the plant once for sensitization to the oils to happen. This means that next time contact with the plant happens, a reaction may happen 24 to 72 hours after exposure. An allergic reaction can't be spread from one person to another by touching the blisters or from the fluid inside the blisters. But, it can be spread if the plant oils remain on the skin, clothes, or shoes.
The resin in the plants contains an oily substance called urushiol. Urushiol is easily passed from the plants to other objects. These include tools and animals. This chemical can remain active for a year or longer. It is important to know that the oils can be passed from clothing, pets, or smoke from a burning plant.
The allergic reaction to poison ivy, poison oak, or poison sumac is usually contact dermatitis. This may happen 24 to 72 hours after exposure. The dermatitis is characterized by bumps and blisters that itch. Sometimes, swelling happens in the area of contact. Eventually, the blisters break, ooze, and then crust over.
Diagnosis is usually based on a medical history and physical exam.
There is no cure for the reaction once the rash starts. Avoiding the plants is the best treatment. It is very important to learn what the plants look like and to not touch them.
If you have already come in contact with the plants, remove the oils from your skin as soon as possible. Do this by washing with ordinary soap. Repeat the cleaning with the soap 3 times. There are also alcohol-based wipes that help remove the oils. Also wash all clothes and shoes because the oils can remain on them.
For the itching, your healthcare provider may recommend over-the-counter creams, such as calamine lotion. He or she may also recommend bathing in a baking soda or colloidal oatmeal bath. These can be bought at your local drugstore. Sometimes your healthcare provider will prescribe a topical cortisone containing cream or medicine to take by mouth for the itching. Oral steroids are commonly used along with oral antihistamines.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have a temperature over 100°F (38°C) and the blisters and rash are on your face, in your eyes, near your genitals, or all over your body. After a medical history and physical, your healthcare provider may prescribe a steroid cream, pills, or injection to help with the swelling and itching.
In some cases, a severe reaction that causes swelling or trouble with breathing or swallowing may happen. If this happens, get treatment right away. This is an emergency.
Be sure to follow recommendations for preventing an allergic reaction to these plants by avoiding exposure.
While most allergic reactions to poison ivy, poison oak, or poison sumac are easily managed at home, you should call your healthcare provider right away if:
Call 911 or go to the emergency room if:

A manhunt has been launched after a prisoner escaped from custody in Cheshire.
John Inglesby, 28, made off from a GeoAmey prison van at 5.25pm on Wednesday as he was being transported from Macclesfield Magistrates' Court to HMP Birmingham.
He had earlier appeared in court charged with aggravated vehicle taking and conspiracy to commit burglary after he had been arrested on Monday.
Inglesby is believed to have fled the breakout scene on the A534, near to junction 17 of the M6, and headed towards Sandbach. He then approached a nearby property where he threatened the homeowner and stole a white Audi A3 convertible with a black roof.
Inglesby, who is originally from the Crewe area, is described as being about 5ft 8in, with short brown hair and blue eyes. His last known address was in Kirkby, Liverpool.
Extensive inquiries are under way to locate Inglesby and police are appealing for anyone with any information regarding his whereabouts to get in touch, said Cheshire Constabulary.
Superintendent John Armstrong said: "Our priority is to locate this man and return him to lawful custody. Whilst we do not believe that Inglesby poses a risk to the public at large, anyone who sees him is urged not to approach him but should call 999 immediately."
Anyone who has any information should call Cheshire Constabulary on 101 quoting incident number 663 of 19 March, or call anonymously, via Crimestoppers, on 0800 555 111.

So I have to admit that even though I loved when my mom and granny cooked this dish (known as bolanger..pronounced Bow-Lan-Gee or Bah-Lan-J) when I started cooking this dish on my own, the fascination was lost. For some reason, I could never get it quite like mom and grannys. I have later found that it was because #1, I never squeezed the seeds out properly and thus my dislike for the seedy stew and #2, I always UNDER cooked or OVER cooked the vegetable and #3, I never got the quality of the vegetable because of the combinations of seasonings or lack there of used.

So as I was blog browsing one day, I stumbled on http://www.bakerella.com/ and O.M.Geeee! I ended up staying on that site for about an hour. During this time I was communicating with my bff at work on a messenger tool that we have. 'So whatcha gonna cook tonight?' she asked. 'Girl, I think I want to make some cake pops!' I responded. 'What is that?' she asked. So I copied a picture from Bakerella's website and sent it to her. 'Those are so fabulous, are you baking tonight?' she asked. And with that question asked, I decided to head to Michael's that night and gather my supplies.

(CHICAGO) — Police in a helicopter stumbled upon what may be the largest outdoor pot farm in Chicago's history. Planted in rows and spread over an area the size of two football fields, as many as 1,500 plants averaging 6-feet tall were growing amidst heavy brush in an industrial area on the city's South Side.
"This would not be visible from the street," said Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy at a press conference today. "It's surrounded by a huge field that you wouldn't see anywhere (but) from the air."
He estimated the hidden pot to be worth $7 million to $10 million.
The discovery was noteworthy not only for the size of the growing area but for the size of the plants themselves, some as tall as Christmas trees, according to police. "Usually you see a marijuana plant that's 3-feet high. These resemble plants that you'd see out in California, running anywhere from 4-foot to 8-foot high," said Nick Roti, head of the Chicago Police Organized Crime Bureau.
There was camping equipment on the scene thought to be used by the grower or dealer to guard the illegal farm. Officials believe the plants were within few weeks of being harvested.
Police will haul out the marijuana and burn it at a disposal site used by the bomb and arson squad. But McCarthy said the importance of this discovery is more than just finding and destroying so much pot. Busts like this put "the squeeze on the finances of organizations" whose drug profits spread violence.
"Whoever harvests this marijuana is obviously running a large-scale operation," McCarthy explained. "And at the same time the profits from that will be used to purchase firearms. And that's where the violence comes in- is the competition for the markets."

Lake County, Napa's Neighbor, Gains Respect
Although adjacent to Napa Valley, Lake County is a world apart with cheap land, low production costs and no social infrastructure-but it's become the destination for California wineries making Lake County wines or "filling out" their Napa and Sonoma bottles. Lettie Teague has details on Lunch Break.

A Stunning Recreation of a Legendary Les Paul
Joe Perry 1959 Les Paul

One of Rock's Most Storied Bursts,
Brought to Life for You
Joe Perry 1959 Les Paul
Of all the great original 1959 Standards out there—a pretty small number to begin with—Joe Perry's own Les Paul has long been acclaimed as one of the finest. The rich, road-worn character of this guitar, serial number 9-0663, is utterly moving, and it seems to throb with the wealth of music and experience earned over decades of being played on stages and in recording studios around the world. In Joe's own words, "It's got everything a great Les Paul is supposed to have. The neck isn't quite as fat as, say, a '54 Goldtop, but it's still got a good, meaty neck. It's not a high-output guitar, so it's got a lot of tone… And it's got all the natural sustain and warmth, and when you turn it up it growls."
As stunning a tone monster as this guitar is, however, the story of its passage in and out of Perry's hands over the years is equally riveting. Slash, Boston area guitar legend Billy Loosigian, and Eric Johnson have all owned number 9-0663 over the years, as it did the rounds through the various ups and downs of Aerosmith's career. Once it was clear that Joe had made the shift from struggling to thriving as an artist, he sought to recapture his most cherished axe for good. Many years, many phone calls, and many near misses later, this amazing 1959 Les Paul returned to the man who seemed destined to call it his own.
Thanks to Gibson Custom and Joe Perry, you can now own the closest possible thing to Joe's most prized guitar, in the form of one of a very limited run of replicas based on exclusive access to the original. The Joe Perry 1959 Les Paul was created from painstaking examination and measurement of the original guitar, and delivers the full tone, feel, and look of this highly prized 'Burst. It is available now in a limited run of 50 guitars aged and hand-signed by the artist, 100 aged guitars, and 150 finished in Gibson's VOS process.
Gibson Custom has gone to great lengths with the Joe Perry 1959 Les Paul to create a guitar that possesses the very spirit of the original. The recreation starts with a solid, one-piece premium lightweight mahogany body married to a hand-selected maple top. The guitar is finished in an exclusive Faded Tobacco Burst with Historic "Vintage" aniline red and dark walnut dye on the back, sides, and back of the neck, just like the original The hand-aged examples show characteristic wear that authentically matches the playing wear on the original, while the VOS guitars display a gently-aged patina in the finish and hardware. The neck is carved from a single piece of quarter-sawn mahogany and profiled to a full and sweetly rounded '59 shape derived from precise measurement of Joe's own guitar, then topped with a one-piece rosewood fingerboard inlaid with period-correct cellulose trapezoids. A set of Kluson Deluxe tuners, a lightweight aluminum stopbar tailpiece, and ABR-1 bridge complete a period-correct hardware complement, while vintage cream binding, gold Top Hat knobs, and a cream plastic pickguard enhance the guitar's vintage looks.
The Joe Perry 1959 Les Paul sounds every bit as phenomenal as it looks and feels, thanks to a pair of Custombucker humbucking pickups designed to closely match the original PAFs in Joe's guitar. Each is made with an Alnico 3 magnet and wound with accurate plain-enamel 42 AWG plain-enamel wire to specs determine by close measurement of the original pickups, with a neck pickup that reads around 8k ohms and bridge pickup that's slightly hotter at 8.5k ohms for plenty of authentic growl. Controls include the traditional independent volume and tones, with "bumble bee" tone caps on the latter, and a three-way Switchcraft™ axial toggle selector. Put it all together, and it's like making this well-traveled, rock-history-making Les Paul your very own—but the Joe Perry 1959 Les Paul is only available in strictly limited numbers, so reserve yours now at your authorized Gibson Custom dealer.
Each guitar includes a Brown Custom Shop hardshell case, along with Certificate of Authenticity, owner's manual and adjustment literature, and Gibson Custom's Limited Lifetime Warranty and 24/7/365 Customer Service.

27 November 2012
Written and Photography by Jacob Leveton
How does a '95 EG Civic manage to compete and win car shows in this day and age? J.P. Cao has the answer.
When Cao first bought his EG Civic – a 1995 Honda Civic Hatchback – it was a huge accomplishment. As a high school student a first car is always something to celebrate but for Cao it was even more special as it was the first car his family had ever owned. Over the past 12 years, the car has gone through several evolutions and the current iteration has earned Cao top honors at several shows and events in Southern California, catching our eye to do a feature on it.
One of the most notorious aspects of Cao's build is the engine bay. What started with a single-slam D-series motor now contains a turbocharged B18B non-VTEC motor out of an Acura Integra LS. The turbocharger is a Garrett T3/T4 ball bearing unit mated to a custom Sparks Racing exhaust manifold and feeds air through a huge Turbo XS front-mount intercooler and BLOX Racing intake manifold. Many components of the system have been plated in copper including the intake piping, the three-inch velocity stack, part of the Greddy Type RS blowoff valve, and the custom shaved valve cover. Several trim pieces including the Password JDM strut tower bar, several brackets, the Carbing oil catch can, and the front radiator trim piece are also treated with a copper finish. All around the engine bay, any extra holes were shaved before sprayed to match the exterior of the car, and all wiring was tucked with a custom Rywire engine harness. Several parts including the STR fuel rail, Koyo radiator, T1R radiator cap and oil cap, and Tial wastegate were polished for a balance of contrast. Password JDM dress-up bolts replace nearly all OEM hardware, a nice touch that shows exactly which bolts have been turned in the bay. When it comes to attention-to-detail, this engine bay is the epitome of it.
From the outside, it's quick to tell that this isn't your standard paint job. After initially painting the car in the classic Championship White hue to match the JDM-inspired theme from a previous generation of the car, Cao wanted to pick a color that was different and stood out. A custom House of Kolor Kandy Rootbeer mix was put together and laid over all the body panels, including the carbon fiber doors, hood, trunk, Spoon front lip, and Spoon rear wing. Raw carbon accents were added in the form of bumper canards, fender flares, mirrors, and bumper blockoff plates to help add to the overall theme. At different angles, the car may appear burgundy, brown, black, or purple. This effect was desired by Cao, making his car stand out from the floods of Civics on the streets. Under the fenders, the car currently sports a set of 15 x 7 Enkei J-Speed wheels on 205/50/15 Toyo R888 tires, although the car has seen no less than 10 different sets of wheels over the years.
Inside, the car is a "business-only" setup. Creature comforts like a stereo, sound deadening and even HVAC controls have all been removed. All exposed metal was painted in the same Kandy Rootbeer hue as the outside while blockoff plates for the center console were custom made and wrapped in Louis Vuitton fabric. Engine vitals are monitored by a trio of Greddy gauges on the A-pillar while the custom red-upholstered carbon fiber seats and matching red harnesses add a pop of color against the mostly-dark interior.
In the trunk, an EM Racing Z-bar setup helps with chassis stiffness, while the Autopower roll bar keeps the passengers safe.
Steering and gear inputs are handled by a Momo steering wheel and Password JDM shifter respectively with accents in a gold hue which seem to match the Louis Vuitton material. On paper all of this sounds like a stylistic wreck but in reality everything looks clean, reformed, and well thought-out.
Since Cao's Civic first caught our eye, the car has gone through a few sets of wheels and earned numerous trophies including Best Engine Bay, Best EG, Best Paint, and even Best of Show at many different events. After 12 years, the current state of the car is definitely the most wild but also the most refined at the same time. It has set a new standard for builds in the always-innovative Southern California scene, pairing up many styles that hadn't been used together before. As the car continues to evolve we can only expect the unexpected putting it into the rare class of unforgettable vehicle builds.

Robert Johnson and the Rise of the Blues
In November of 1936 , a young man named Robert Johnson traveled from Mississippi to San Antonio, Texas, for his first recording session with the American Record Corporation. He was twenty-five years old and had already hoboed and hitchhiked north to Chicago and east to New York, playing guitar and singing for anyone who would listen. His music was a potent fusion of older styles learned from local musicians in the rural Delta and Memphis with the latest sounds on records, radio, and jukeboxes. His friend Johnny Shines would later recall that Johnson was terrifically versatile and quick to master any style that caught his attention:
I mean anything—popular songs, ballads, blues . . . It didn't make him no difference what it was. If he liked it, he did it . . . The country singer, Jimmie Rodgers, me and Robert used to play a hell of a lot of his tunes, man. Ragtime, pop tunes, waltz numbers, polkas—shoot, a polka hound, man. Robert just picked songs out of the air.
Before records replaced live performance as the typical way to hear music, that versatility was the mark of any serious professional. Whether on street corners or in theaters, in urban bars or rural juke joints, customers wanted to hear a varied mix of styles, and musicians were expected to play whatever was popular in their time and region.
Recording made different demands. There were ballroom orchestras recording waltzes, accordion virtuosos recording polkas, white country singers recording old ballads and yodeling cowboy songs, and crooners like Bing Crosby recording the latest pop hits. So when Robert Johnson entered the makeshift recording studio in a San Antonio hotel, he wasn't asked to demonstrate the breadth of his repertoire. As a black guitarist from Mississippi, he was asked to play blues—a style considered specific to his race, instrument, and region—and rather than recording the songs that were most in demand at local parties and dances, he was asked to sing original compositions that weren't already published and being marketed by other companies.
The Robert Johnson we know today is the result of that anomaly: of the hundreds—maybe thousands—of songs he sang in his travels and day-to-day life, we have only twenty-nine examples, performed under special conditions for a special purpose. They are among the great documents of American music, but to understand Johnson and the wider world of blues in the early twentieth century, we need to be aware that what survives on record is only a small part of the story.
Black Americans brought music from all their various regions of Africa to the United States and mixed those styles with what they heard from European, Native American, and Pacific Island musicians, and those fusions spread around the country and eventually around the world. The African banjo blended with the European fiddle and the Mediterranean guitar, English lyrics were reshaped to fit West African tonalities, and the results have been variously categorized as blues, hoedowns, country music, bluegrass, and, with other instrumentation, as ragtime, jazz, R&B, rock, and hip-hop.
Out of that dazzling variety of music, it's hard to sort out what was first called "blues," where it first appeared, or how it sounded. In New Orleans, the word was associated with a slow, sultry dance rhythm played by pianists and jazz bands in working-class saloons. In black vaudeville theaters, it was first associated with southern comedians with colorful names like Baby Seals, String Beans, and Sweetie May, then with deep-voiced divas like Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith. Those bands and singers drew on rural traditions of moans, hollers, work songs, and spirituals, but what they called blues was a new sound—hip, fierce, and often funny—much like rap three quarters of a century later.
A few early blues songs became sheet music hits—most famously W. C. Handy's "Memphis Blues" and "St. Louis Blues"—and the African American press described others as favorites with vaudeville audiences, but the first important records only appeared in 1920, almost ten years after blues became a major trend. Mamie Smith's "Crazy Blues" started the craze, and was followed by hundreds of recordings by the female stars known as "blues queens." For a few years they were the most popular recording artists in black America. Then, in 1926 a record company scout looking for something different took a chance on a blind Texas street guitarist named Lemon Jefferson.
Jefferson had none of the polished professionalism of the blues queens. His guitar rhythms were jerky and irregular, and he sang with a deep Texas accent and a shout that could be heard over noisy street crowds. When his records took off, they started a rage for guitar-accompanied street performers. Most were men, and though their recording repertoire was often inspired by the hits of the blues queens, they were marketed as "down home blues," the sound of the rural South.
The down-home trend was followed in the late 1920s by a wave of urban pianists and piano/guitar duos. Then microphones arrived, making it possible for singers to be heard over full dance bands, and the blues mainstream was redefined by groups like the Count Basie Orchestra, blending older styles with a swing beat.
By the time Robert Johnson recorded, guitar-accompanied blues was already considered old-fashioned, but there was still a regional market for it in the rural South—and, unexpectedly, among new fans in northern cities. In 1938 a record producer named John Hammond decided that people who loved Basie and Benny Goodman should have some historical background, so he staged a concert at Carnegie Hall called "From Spirituals to Swing." It presented swing bands alongside artists representing earlier styles: gospel singers, boogie-woogie pianists, Sonny Terry playing country harmonica, Big Bill Broonzy playing Chicago blues, and recordings of African tribal music and Robert Johnson.
Johnson had died four months earlier, murdered by a jealous husband while performing at a dance in the Delta, but Hammond felt that Johnson's music was so extraordinary that it must be heard. He was particularly taken with Johnson's slide guitar style, learned from an older Mississippi performer, Son House, who would also mentor Muddy Waters. The two records Hammond played at Carnegie Hall were both adapted from House's repertoire, and he presented them as masterpieces of "primitive blues," the deep roots of what was sung by Basie's vocalists.
Thus a young artist who had impressed his peers in Mississippi with adept reworkings of the latest hits from St. Louis and Chicago was introduced to a new audience as a mysterious figure from the primitive past, and that was how he was framed again in the 1960s, when Hammond released an album of Johnson's work titled King of the Delta Blues Singers, which became a model for everyone from Bob Dylan to the Rolling Stones.
By that time blues had become a mainstream style on both sides of the Atlantic, performed by everyone from Elvis Presley to James Brown, but its name had been changed, first to R&B (rhythm and blues), then to rock 'n' roll and soul. Young artists and marketers embraced those new labels, and "blues" has ever since been associated with the past, with rural roots and down-home authenticity. When we hear Robert Johnson today, it is as the source for thousands of later artists who have learned his guitar licks and sung his songs, and as a foundational figure in the evolution of American music. So it's worth remembering that he once was a young, innovative figure, a relative latecomer to the blues scene. Like his modern-day heirs, his talent was blending the past with the present, creating music that was deeply rooted but looking toward the future.
Elijah Wald is a blues historian and musician. He has published several books on American popular music, including Escaping the Delta: Robert Johnson and the Invention of the Blues (2004) and Dylan Goes Electric! Newport, Seeger, Dylan, and the Night that Split the Sixties (2015). With Dave Van Ronk, he is the author of The Mayor of MacDougal Street (2005), which inspired the Coen Brothers' 2013 movie Inside Llewyn Davis.

WALTHAM, Mass. – Competing for the first time since the 2009-10 season, and for the first time at home since 2008, the Brandeis Swimming and Diving teams swam well, earning 15 victories and establishing a new school record in a pair of losses to Wheaton College today. The Lyon men won 159-97, while the women's score was 163-120 in favor of the visitors.
"This was a great meet for us," said head coach Mike Kotch of his first official event for the Judges in Linsey Pool. "We had a bunch of great individual performances. With a few more solid recruiting classes, I think this is a meet we should be able to win a couple of years down the line."
The highlight of the meet came from sophomore Max Fabian (Keene, N.H./Oak Meadow). Fabian, who won three of the Judges' 15 events, established a new school record in the 1,000-yard freestyle with a time of 9:58.06. He knocked a full seven seconds off the previous mark established in 2006 by Hal Grossman '06. Fabian also won the 500-yard freestyle in 5:02.22 and the 200 butterfly in 2:06.05.
Rookie Brian Luk (Hong Kong/Northfield Mount Hermon) joined Fabian as a triple winner on the afternoon, excelling in sprint events. Luk won the 50 freestyle (22.65 seconds, winning by just 0.03 of a second), the 100 free (48.98 seconds) and the 100 butterfly (56.37 seconds).
The Brandeis women also had a multiple winner in the distance freestyle races, where rookie Theresa Gaffney (Braintree, Mass./Braintree) was the program's first event winner of the day, taking the 1,000 free in 11:43.44 in the third race of the meet. Gaffney also won the 500 in 5:44.05.
Senior Holly Spicer (Northampton, Mass./Northampton), one of four holdovers from the previous incarnation of Brandeis swimming and diving, was also a double-winner on the afternoon, taking both breaststroke events. Spicer took the 100 in 1:11.27 and the 200 in 2:37.05.
Rookie Lauren Cruz (Redmond, Wash./Hamilton East-Steinert) joined Fabian and Luk as a winner in multiple disciplines, capturing the 200 freestyle (2:05.94) and the 200 backstroke (2:25.02).
Other individual winners for the Judges were rookie David Lazarovich (Stowe, Vt./South Burlington) in the 100 breast with a time of 1:05.55; sophomore Gabby Drillich (Harrington Park, N.J./Northern Valley Regional) in the 200 fly with a time of 2:30.04; and rookie Fallon Bushee (Malden, Mass./Mystic Valley Regional Charter School) in the 50 free (26.00 seconds).
Brandeis returns to action next weekend in Rochester at the Mini-UAA Meet. Wheaton will compete the same weekend at MIT's Batterman relays.

Seven years ago we said Naomi Klein's "Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism," was the best book on economics of the new century. America was at the peak of its power. Charging forth with a new battle cry, "Shock and Awe," GOP President George W. Bush launched the $3 trillion Iraq War, the biggest foreign-policy blunder in American history. Since then, America has been declining from it's peak.
But "Shock and Awe" has found new life, as the battle cry in a new war, and a far greater foreign-policy blunder for our great nation. This time the war is driven by a do-nothing, obstructionist, conservative GOP/tea party that has shifted the self-sabotaging "Disaster Capitalism" strategy, retargeting on a bigger enemy.
In Klein's new work coming this fall, we'll see "Disaster Capitalism's" new enemy is not just one resource-rich nation like Iraq and its oil reserves, but the vast natural resources of the entire planet, water, food, energy, air, sunlight, everything for short-term profits. Now capitalists want to extract new wealth from all nations.
Yes, folks, the GOP conservatives are now in a war that is destroying the planet in order to protect their ideal of what the great conservative thought leader, Nobel economist Milton Friedman, author of "Capitalism and Freedom," believed was essential for a healthy economy — an unregulated free market, where capitalists had unlimited access to the world's natural resources for profit-making, regardless of the consequences to the planet, the climate, global warming. That strategy is self-destructive for America and the world.
Shock Doctrine II: Disaster Capitalism's war against Planet Earth
"Shock and Awe?" Step back. The GOP conservatives "disaster capitalism" strategy is better understood in a broader historical context. It's easy to miss the long view in today's high-speed, short-attention-span world of Twitter-thinking in the elusive eternal now. We rarely step back, take a deep breath, to see the forest for the trees before we're hit with more news and tweets overloading us with one new zeitgeist after another.
But if we do step back, we see the disaster capitalism strategy of GOP conservatives as part of a larger, longer picture once captured by Will Durant, America's great historian, author of the 11-vol "Story of Civilization." Durant tells us: "A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself within. The essential causes of Rome's decline lay in her people, her morals, her class struggle, her failing trade, her bureaucratic despotism, her stifling taxes, her consuming wars." We are repeating that familiar pattern in history. And only "after centuries of chaos" can a world build "another civilization."
Durant's "Story of Civilization" took 40 years. Co-authored with his wife Ariel, it was finished in 1975. Here are seven stages that might serve as a chapter outline to bring "Civilization" into the 21st century as we wait for Klein's update about how the "Shock and Awe" battle cry is working in capitalism's new war to dominate Planet Earth.
Here are the seven stages, from Adam Smith's "Moral Sentiments" to the end of this century, and the economic, cultural and moral decline of the American civilization:
1. Adam Smith's Pure Capitalism 1776 to 1929
For the first 150 years after the signing the Declaration of Independence — which saw 57 wealthy landowners lead, take political responsibility, risk their fortunes, freedom, families and their lives for the common good — Adam Smith's laissez-faire capitalism worked with a competitive spirit that fueled a healthy economy, created prosperity.
2. New Deal Keynesian Social Capitalism 1930s-1980s
Conservative Times of London columnist Anatole Kaletsky calls this era "New Deal Keynesian Social Capitalism," with government stimulating the economy after the 1929 Crash though the '30s. Private enterprise failed. Capitalism's bubble popped. Government primed the pump with jobs, money, credit, regulation. But the GOP hates social capitalism.
3. Reaganomics adds fuel to new Disaster Capitalism 1980-2010
The "Great Society" triggered a huge conservative backlash. Economist Milton Friedman's "Capitalism and Freedom" attacked Social Security. His free-market ideology reinforced Reaganomics, conservative philosopher Ayn Rand, Fed boss Alan Greenspan, even Bill Clinton, all were part of an ideological conspiracy that deregulated Wall Street, led to today's multitrillion global derivative trading casino and a shadow banking system, the root cause of the 2008 meltdown. And now setting up a bigger catastrophe.
4. Obama's revival of Keynesian Social Capitalism 2008-2016
Friedman's "Disaster Capitalism" peaked under Bush, adding trillions of new debt to pay for two costly wars, huge tax cuts and an increasingly privatized government. All of which helped build China as a powerful new rival. Even Reagan's Budget Director David Stockman warns "his GOP has destroyed the American economy." Then, the GOP told the world their No. 1 strategy was to destroy Obama's presidency, yet another bizarre exercise of their self-destructive "Disaster Capitalism."
5. New GOP/tea party Self-Destruction Capitalism 2008-2016
The plot got more dangerous as the tea party merged with the GOP and together undermined the recovery since the 2008 Wall Street credit crash, and paradoxically paved the way for the rise of a new powerful China as the Iraq War depleted America's Treasury. Now the GOP is in a double bind that's guaranteed to implode and self-destruct, bringing down the GOP, the presidency, the economy and the very nation they want to rule.
6. New State Capitalism: China and global authoritarianism (2003+)
In "Every Nation for Itself" and "The End of the Free Market," Ian Bremmer warns of the rise of "state capitalism." Nations manipulating markets, competing as capitalists. State corporations fronting for the political agendas of our enemies, destroying competition, making a mockery of "free markets," while our politicians engage in petty domestic self-sabotaging games. China's currency manipulation; control of 97% of the world's rare-earth markets; acquisition of commodities and mining rights worldwide, hoarding foreign agriculture lands and corporate equities. While the myopic do-nothing strategies of the GOP/tea party undermine America's power, China and other state-capitalist nations get more and more powerful.
7. Pentagon Capitalism: Wars and generals run America by 2020
Back in 2003, the Bush Pentagon warned that WWIII will arrive by 2020. Led by commander-in-chief Bush, their battle cry, "Shock and Awe," announced the beginning of the end, although GOP neocon warhawks loved it, then and now. Now the greatest foreign policy blunder in American history. Today, the do-nothing GOP/tea party, lacking any coherent long-term strategy for the country, other than obstructionism, will, by default, fulfill the Pentagon's 2020 prophecy: that "as the planet's carrying capacity shrinks, an ancient pattern of desperate, all-out wars over food, water, and energy supplies would emerge ... warfare is defining human life." And that war is the one now known as "Shock and Awe 2: Disaster Capitalism vs. Planet-Earth" ... and the end of world history by end of this century.

We thought that the current electrical goods we had were advanced, well think again because we are closer and closer to making what seemed impossible or merely a distant future, appear a reality.
Internet Fridges are probably the newest, most up to date technology we have today. The sound of an Internet fridge may seem ridiculous and pointless in having, however, there are so many technological advances to having this nifty, rather large component to your household. With so many little additions and gadgets to this refrigerator, I`m sure it will seem fairly impossible to even recognize every luxury device received with the Net Fridges. Although you may just think that this appliance is simply the Internet connected to a fridge you are vastly mistaken. Some may have more or different special features, depending on the company it is made from. It seems the standard Net Fridge tends to include a large touch-sensitive screen, a barcode scanner, digital television, message board, camera, built-in monitor (to detect expired foods), connection with other household appliances, e-mail and much more. From using these exceptional pieces of equipment and gadgets, you d be amazed at how you can use them for your great benefit. The barcode scanner enables the refrigerator to check barcodes to note when daily necessities are missing from the fridge or if the ingredients for that day`s dinner are available in supermarkets. The fridge will then be able to deliver a shopping list to the local supermarket allowing the supermarket to deliver your groceries to you, and without you having to do a thing. You can also have installed an online weekly shopping list. Rather than sticking messages on the fridge, you can use the handwriting message board on the fridge. You can also surf the net, play MP3's and e-mail digital photos. The built in camera allows you to make family videos and can be used as a security system alerting the police if there should be a break in. One of THE best elements though of the Internet Fridge has to be the Longwork protocol. This protocol enables the fridge to have interaction with other household appliances. Example, Any of the lights in your home can be turned on or off from an icon on the display panel, while the air-conditioning, spa and alarm system can all be controlled without leaving the kitchen.

They perform skit, answer questions, then teach the kids the skit.
The Crookston High School "True Players," with counselor Jackie Robertson and Youth Services Director Maria Argueta, traveled to Ellen Hopkins Elementary School in Moorhead Wednesday to perform the anti-bullying skit, "Don't Laugh at Me." While remaining in character, they also answered kids' questions, and then taught them the skit.
The third, fourth and fifth graders also were given an opportunity – and many did so – to apologize publicly to someone they had hurt with their words or actions.
The True Players are Bryan Sanchez, Austin Sommerfeld, Seth Desrosier, Lydia Shafer, Madison Crane and Torrie Greer.
