1974 Topps StampsTopps released this 240 stamp issue in 1974. These 1 by 1 1/2 stamp are unnumbered and feature a color photo with the player's name, team and position inside a colored oval at the bottom of the stamp. Very similar to their 1969 Topps Stamps issue, the 1974 Topps Stamps were issued in panels of 12 stamps. Alomg with the stamps, Topps also issued a set of 24 stamp albums, one per team, to store the stamps. Due to double prints and different combinations of stamps on panels there are actually 24 different 12-Stamp panels. The stamps were not inserts but a totally separate issue and were sold in packs containing one 12-Stamp panel along with one stamp album.
The 1974 Topps Stamps set is packed with SuperStars including over 23 members of the Baseball Hall-of-Fame with greats such as Nolan Ryan, Hank Aaron, Johnny Bench, Ernie Banks, Pete Rose, Reggie Jackson, Al Kaline, Joe Morgan, Willie Stargell, Tom Seaver and plenty more !!! The set even contains seldom seen ROOKIES of Dave Winfield and Dave Parker.

1974 Topps Baseball Stamps checklist and prices
1963 Fleer BaseballIn an attempt by Fleer to circumvent Topps exclusive rights to baseball cards, Fleer issued their 1963 baseball cards with cookies instead of gum. It is commonly thought that the 1963 Fleer baseball card issue was intended to be a much larger set issued in multiple series but Topps sued Fleer after their first series was released stopping further production. Due to Topps deep pockets Fleer soon pulled the set from the market and cancelled their plans for the remaining series leaving this very, very popular set at just 66 cards plus one unnumbered checklist.
But what a 66 cards !!! The 1963 Fleer Cards are attractive and feature an extremely high percentage of stars. Some of the top stars in the 1963 Fleer baseball card set are Brooks Robinson, Willie Mays, Carl Yastrzemski, Sandy Koufax, Roberto Clemente, Don Drysdale and Warren Spahn.. The set also included 2 very scare Short Prints, Joe Adcock and an unnumbered checklist.
The most interesting card in this set is the Maury Wills Rookie card. Even though Wills started his major league career with the Dodgers way back in 1959 quickly becoming a superstar, his 1963 Fleer card is considered his rookie card ! How is this possible ? Well, back in 1959, 1960 and 1961, Topps did not consider Wills worthy enough to have a baseball card.
As hobby lore has it: Needless to say, Wills was very upset at this slight from Topps. After Wills won the 1962 N.L. MVP award, Topps quickly came a courting but Wills answered with a large "NO". From 1961 thru 1966, Wills prevented Topps from making any of his baseball cards. Wills and Topps finally made up making his 1967 Topps high number short print his first Topps card and also his most expensive card. Adding interest to the Wills baseball card story, Post Cereal released a Maury Wills card in their 1962 set making that the earliest Maury Wills rookie card. Wills was also pictured on a special 1960 Topps card featuring the 1959 World Series. The card features Luis Aparicio stealing 2nd base with Wills pictured trying to make the tag.
Much of the above is true but Wills has said there was no "fued" with Topps and that he simply had signed exclusive agreements with Fleer.

For her latest album, Broadway soprano Rebecca Luker brings her live show — featuring songs by legendary theater composer Jerome Kern, recorded at the Manhattan club 54 Below — to the recording studio. The album, I Got Love: Songs of Jerome Kern, features 14 tracks and classics ranging from "Bill/Can't Help Loving That Man" to "My Husband's First Wife."
Although her own words to "My Husband's First Wife" didn't make it onto the album, Luker tells Fresh Air's Terry Gross that she and her husband, the actor Danny Burstein, had fun writing their own third verse — some of the lines of which go, "My husband's first wife, my husband's first wife / Her shopping was thrifty, completed by dawn / She'd beat you at chess just by suing a pawn / She had all five babies while mowing the lawn / My husband's first wife."
Kern's early work in the 1910s and '20s overlapped with the beginning of Broadway musicals and the decline of operettas, so one can hear operetta styles in those compositions. While Luker was classically trained, she says she'd never seriously considered going into opera because her voice wasn't strong enough.
Instead, she got her Broadway start as an understudy to Sarah Brightman in the original 1988 Broadway company production of Phantom of the Opera before taking over the role for a couple of years. She has since starred on and off Broadway in everything from The Sound of Music to The Vagina Monologues.
Interview Highlights
On how Irene Franklin came to write the words for 'My Husband's First Wife' (from Sweet Adeline) with Jerome Kern
She was in the cast, and she was a comedienne of the time. And she wrote her own showstopper with Jerome Kern because Oscar Hammerstein was too busy to write it or something like that. ... [A]s the story has it, Oscar Hammerstein was too busy writing other arrangements and ... [Kern] came to her and said, 'Would you write your own lyrics to this song?' And she said, 'Absolutely.' So she came up with this really funny song for the show — and it was a showstopper, turned out.
On how her voice has changed over the years
"Finally, after all these years, I learned I can belt a little bit. ... [T]rue belt is really hard, and that's not really what I do — and I don't really try to do that — but I've learned to do it more. And maybe I've learned to do it well enough so you may not know that I'm faking it. But mostly my voice has just gotten richer, I think, over the years: deeper and richer ... and more versatile, I think."
On the two different versions of 'Bill/Can't Help Loving That Man,' one of which appears in Showboat and the other of which predates Showboat
"P.G. Wodehouse actually wrote the first lyrics for "Bill" for a show called Oh Lady, Lady in 1917, and it was for the Princess Theatre shows that he and Jerome Kern were so famous for. And ... when Showboat was written ... about 10 years later ... I think the song was probably cut from Oh Lady, Lady and it was on the shelf. And, you know, Kern pulled it down and said, 'Well, what about this one?' and [Kern and Oscar Hammerstein] looked at the lyrics and thought, 'Well, this won't do for our Showboat story,' so Hammerstein rewrote some of the lyrics — so some of them did work and some of them didn't. And he rewrote a lot of them, but he always gave P.G. Wodehouse credit for the song, for the lyrics, generously."
The first time I saw Rebecca Luker and heard her beautiful voice, she was starring in the Hal Prince Broadway revival of "Showboat," the great musical by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein. Now she has a whole album of Kern songs that spans his career. Luker has also starred in Broadway revivals of "The Music Man" and "The Sound of Music." In the most recent season of "Broadwater Empire" she played a nun. And in the film "Not Fade Away" she was the girlfriend's mother.
Let's start with a song from her new album, which is called "I Got Love: Songs of Jerome Kern". This is "Once in A Blue Moon".
REBECCA LUKER: (Singing) Once in a blue moon, you will meet the right one. Once in a blue moon find your dear delight one. Then, with a thrill, you know that love is true. Once in a lifetime, when the moon is blue.
(Singing) Men are called deceivers ever, and women flirt with passion. One true love that lasts forever is sadly out of fashion. Moonlit madness under a pale sky; flames that turn to ashes and then die. All too soon the lips that kiss may learn to say goodbye. Once in a blue moon...
GROSS: Rebecca Luker, welcome back to FRESH AIR, and congratulations on your new album. What a beautiful to song that is, which - a song that I wasn't familiar with until hearing your version. Tell us where it's from.
LUKER: Thank you so much. "Once in A Blue Moon" is, has a lyric by Ann Caldwell and of course Jerome Kern, who we're talking about today; it is from an old show called "Stepping Stones" from the early '20s.
GROSS: It's a lovely song. And I like the way you start off unaccompanied, which is a kind of brave way to start an album, to sing unaccompanied, because it's the first track on the record. What made you decide to do it that way?
LUKER: Yes, it is. You have to be sure that you're in the key when the musicians join you, which is - I always find that to be fun and challenging.
GROSS: You mentioned that the lyric for the song was written by Ann Caldwell. And it's interesting that Jerome Kern wrote with several women lyricists at a time when there were so few women lyricists, because there's Ann Caldwell, there's Dorothy Fields, who is probably the best-known woman who he wrote with.
LUKER: That's right.
GROSS: And then there is a third whose name I'm not remembering because it's a name that I was unfamiliar with.
LUKER: You could be thinking of Irene Franklin.
GROSS: Yes.
LUKER: But he only wrote, I believe, one song with her. That's a funny story. You know, in "My Husband's First Wife" she was in the cast and she was a comedian of the time and she wrote her own showstopper with Jerome Kern because Oscar Hammerstein was too busy to write it or, you know, something like that.
LUKER: So I believe that was his only song with Irene Franklin. I guess...
GROSS: She wrote the song for herself?
LUKER: She did. The show - I forget the name of the show all of a sudden. My husband's first wife was - oh, "Sweet Adeline"...
GROSS: Yeah.
LUKER: That he wrote with Oscar Hammerstein. And I think as the story has it, Oscar Hammerstein was too busy writing other arrangements and she came to Kern and, you know, or he came to her and said, would you write your own lyrics to this song? And she said absolutely. So she came up with this really funny song for the show - and it was a showstopper, turned out.
GROSS: And you do it on the album and it is really funny.
LUKER: And I do it on the album.
GROSS: Yeah. So it's called "My Husband's First Wife." Anything you want to say about it? We'll give it a spin.
LUKER: Oh sure.
GROSS: That sounded so all fashion; we'll give it a spin.
LUKER: We'll give it a spin. Yeah...
GROSS: But old-fashioned suits the album because some of these songs like this one are so old-fashioned.
This sounds like an old vaudeville song.
LUKER: It - absolutely. And it, you know, was. Well, it was 1929, but a little bit after maybe. I guess vaudeville was the '20s, the whole '20s. My husband, Danny, wrote his own verse for it for my "54 Below" show. I don't know if I'm supposed to say that, but we couldn't record it because we weren't allowed to. But we had a lot of fun writing a third verse to this song. But I just think it's very funny, a wonderful old song.
GROSS: After we hear the song, would you sing your husband's verse?
LUKER: Yes, I'll see if I can remember that.
GROSS: OK. You think while we play this song.
LUKER: OK. Will do.
GROSS: So this is Rebecca Luker from her new album of Jerome Kern songs, which is called "I Got Love," and the song is "My Husband's First Wife."
GROSS: So that's Rebecca Luker singing "My Husband's First Wife" from her new album of Jerome Kern songs which is called "I Got Love." So did you remember the lyric that your husband wrote for this 1929 song?
LUKER: Yeah.
LUKER: Yeah. We laughed a lot doing this, by the way. Mostly they're his, Danny Burnstein's lyrics, so...
(Singing) My husband's first wife, my husband's first wife, her skin was like porcelain, her pores always clear and wrinkles refused to appear. So he tells me. My husband's first wife, my husband's first wife, her shopping was thrifty, completed by dawn. She'd beat you at chess just by using a pawn. She had all five babies while mowing the lawn. My husband's first wife.
GROSS: Very good.
LUKER: Ta-da. Danny Burstein.
GROSS: I'm sure there's many, many more waiting to be written.
LUKER: Man, we laughed so hard. You should've heard some of the earlier, you know, versions that we came up with. Very funny.
GROSS: So now that you've gotten older, how has your voice changed?
LUKER: Well, I think finally, after all these years, I learned I can belt a little bit. You know, I've not usually been able to belt. I wasn't able to really belt and I still can't belt, mind you, like Betty Buckley and, you know, those gals.
GROSS: What do you mean when you say belt?
LUKER: I just mean that you're, you know, you use your chest voice, completely use your chest voice when you sing. You know, I'd blow the mic out if I did it. But what I do is what most sopranos do and I mix. Which means you bring some of your chest up into your head voice and you sort of mix through a line.
Instead of sounding all breathy like this you kind of sound like this, you know. But true belt is really hard, and that's not really what I do, and I don't really try to do that, but I've learned to do it more. And maybe I've learned to do it well enough so you may not know that I'm faking it, you know? But mostly my voice has just gotten richer, I think, over the years; deeper and richer and able to sing and more versatile, I think.
GROSS: So I want you to introduce another song from your new album, and this is the song "The Folks Who Live on the Hill" from your album of Jerome Kern's songs. He wrote this with Oscar Hammerstein. It's a pretty famous song. It's a standard in the jazz world.
LUKER: Yes.
GROSS: What do you love about this song and tell us where - you know, more about its origins.
LUKER: Yes. When we decided to do this song I heard a million versions and I thought, well, should we do it? Because everybody's done this song. But I discovered it through just listening through many, many different Jerome Kern's songs and I wasn't familiar with Jerome Kern's Hollywood period as much as his, you know, earlier theater works.
But he and Oscar Hammerstein wrote some astounding songs for Hollywood scores in the '30s that are just, you know, I can't even describe how wonderful they are. Jerome Kern reinvented himself so many times with, you know, different styles. And this movie, "High, Wide and Handsome" has a couple of songs in it that just floored me and this was one of them.
"Folks Who Live on the Hill" and "The Things I Want" is, I believe, also from that show. So I chose "Folks Who Live on the Hill" and we made it. We sort of went with the jazz tradition that so many people do, but I think we put a slightly fresh spin on it and I just wanted to represent that period of his career which I think is so rich and full and unexpected.
GROSS: Is this more chest voice than some of the other songs on the album?
LUKER: I think, yes. I think it's one of them. One of those that I was able to have fun and do the - be sort of laid back and jazzy on more than some of the others. Yeah.
GROSS: OK. So this is the "Folks Who Live on the Hill" from my guest Rebecca Luker's new album called "I Got Love: Songs of Jerome Kern."
GROSS: That was Rebecca Luker singing "Folks Who Live on the Hill," a song by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein. And it's from her new album of Jerome Kern songs which is called "I Got Love." Let's take a short break here and then we'll talk some more. This is FRESH AIR.
GROSS: If you're just joining us, my guest is Rebecca Luker and she's starred on stage in revivals of "Showboat" and the "Sound of Music," "The Music Man," and now she has a new album of songs by Jerome Kern called "I Got Love." I want to play another song from your new album of Jerome Kern songs. And this is "Bill," which a lot of people know from "Showboat."
In fact, when you did the revival of "Showboat" that was directed by Hal Prince you sang this song.
LUKER: Right.
GROSS: And it's a very tender song about - sung by somebody who is in love with Bill even though he's not, you know, a talented or gifted guy or incredibly handsome. It's great to be on his knee.
LUKER: Right. Right.
GROSS: And there's a certain physical attraction there but it's a very tender song. But the version that you're doing is not the version that's in "Showboat." It's a version that precedes that.
LUKER: Correct.
GROSS: So tell us the story of these two different sets of lyrics for the song.
LUKER: Well, P.G. Wodehouse actually wrote the first lyrics for "Bill" for a show called "Oh Lady, Lady" in 1917, and it was for the Princess Theatre shows that he and Jerome Kern were so famous for. And when "Showboat" was written, when he wrote it with Oscar Hammerstein about 10 years later, they wanted to use - I think the song was probably cut from "Oh Lady, Lady" and it was on the shelf.
And, you know, Kern pulled it down and said what about this one? And they looked at the lyrics and thought, well, this won't do for our "Showboat" story, so Hammerstein rewrote some of the lyrics. So, some of them did work and some of them didn't. And he rewrote a lot of them, but he always gave P.G. Wodehouse credit for the song, for the lyrics, generously.
GROSS: And I think the Hammerstein version is like the more tender version and the Wodehouse version is the more comic version.
LUKER: Absolutely.
GROSS: As a more comic version that you sing. Would you maybe compare for us the lyrics?
LUKER: Sure. Let's see. This is a phrase from the "Oh Lady, Lady" version when you - the song proper. It's (Singing) But along came Bill who's quite the opposite of all the men in storybooks. In grace and looks I know that Apollo would beat him all hollow. (Speaking) That kind of thing. And then in the "Showboat" version it's (Singing) But along came Bill who's not the type at all. You'd meet him on the street and never notice him.
(Singing) His form and face, his manly grace, are not the kind that you would find in a statue. (Speaking) So they're both great. And you know the great thing about the early version, the comic version, is that it's still sung as if it's a serious, beautiful song. And I think that's what makes it all the more delightful.
GROSS: Let's hear your version of it. And this is Rebecca Luker from her new album of Jerome Kern songs which is called "I Got Love." And Rebecca Luker, I want to thank you so much for talking with us.
LUKER: Oh, this was just delightful, Terry. Always a pleasure to speak with you.
GROSS: Always a pleasure. Thank you.
LUKER: Thank you very much.
GROSS: Rebecca Luker's new album of Jerome Kern songs is called "I Got Love." On Thursday she begins a series of four performances with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra of love songs from Broadway and the movies. I'm Terry Gross. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Though I'm sure we'll never forget the week that we spent arguing about whether Mike Shanahan should have benched hobbled rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III, last weekend's playoff games themselves didn't produce many NFL Films moments.
Heading into the second weekend of the NFL Playoffs this weekend, with legends like Peyton Manning and Tom Brady ready to take the field, let's hope this weekend will be different.
In the meantime let's honor the new year by looking back on 13 of the most memorable playoff games from NFL history.
Note: By "playoff games," I mean postseason games since the beginning of the Super Bowl era (1966-67), not including the Super Bowls themselves.
The Ice Bowl
Dallas Cowboys at Green Bay Packers
NFL Championship Game; December 31, 1967
The turf at Lambeau Field in Green Bay is known colloquially as the "Frozen Tundra." On December 31, 1967 it was a sheet of ice.
The 1967 NFL title game between the host Packers and the Dallas Cowboys was the 34th NFL Championship Game. But it was only the second for which the winner would represent the league in the AFL-NFL World Championship Game, a spectacle that Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt would later dub the "Super Bowl." One year earlier the Packers had defeated the Cowboys in a close game at the Cotton Bowl to capture their second consecutive NFL title and advance to the first ever AFL-NFL Championship (a.k.a. Super Bowl I).
The temperature in Green Bay on December 31, 1967 was -13° Fahrenheit (-25° Celsius). A problem with Lambeau Field's turf-heating system created conditions where any moisture that landed on the turf would freeze. The ice problem got worse as the sun went behind the stadium.
Conditions were so bad that the marching band from Wisconsin-La Crosse had to cancel its halftime show because several band members got hypothermia. (Legend has it that the clarinets were so cold that they were unplayable and that band members' lips were freezing to the mouthpieces of the brass instruments.)
Despite these conditions, the Packers and Cowboys managed to play a compelling game in front of 50,000 fans.
At the half, Green Bay led Dallas 14-10. The Cowboys took the lead on the first play of the fourth quarter on a 50-yard halfback option touchdown pass from running back (and future Broncos, Giants, and Falcons coach) Dan Reeves to receiver Lance Rentzel.
The Packers, trailing 17-14, began their final possession with just under five minutes on the clock. Quarterback Bart Starr and the Packers used almost all of that time in their drive down the field and ended up with third-and-goal on the Dallas one yard line with 16 seconds remaining.
A pass play would have made the most sense—because an incomplete pass would stop the clock whereas a running play that didn't result in a touchdown may have run out the clock and ended the game. But Starr was confident that he could keep the ball and run it into the end zone behind right guard Jerry Kramer and center Ken Bowman.
The play was successful; Starr crossed the goal line, clinching the game, the championship, and a trip to Super Bowl II for the Green Bay Packers.
The Immaculate Reception
Oakland Raiders at Pittsburgh Steelers
AFC Divisional Round; December 23, 1972
From 1948 through 1971 the Pittsburgh Steelers played in only one playoff game, a 17-10 loss to the Lions in 1962. From 1972 through 1979 the Steelers went to the Playoffs every year and won four Super Bowls. The symbolic turning point for the franchise was a play late in Pittsburgh's 1972 opening round playoff game against the Oakland Raiders.
The Immaculate Conception is the Roman Catholic belief that Mary, Jesus' mother, was conceived without the taint of original sin. To Steelers fans the Immaculate Reception also has religious significance.
With less than 30 seconds remaining and trailing the visiting Raiders 7–6, the Steelers faced fourth down on their own 40-yard line. Pittsburgh quarterback Terry Bradshaw scrambled and, under pressure, threw a long pass to receiver Frenchy Fuqua. Depending on whether you talk to a Steelers fan or Raiders fan, the ball bounced off either Oakland defender Jack Tatum or Fuqua and into the hands of Pittsburgh running back Franco Harris, who was able to secure the ball before it hit the ground.
If the ball had touched Fuqua, Harris's catch would have been illegal, due to a now defunct rule that said that two offensive players could not touch a pass in succession. Regardless of what actually happened, officials ruled that the ball hit Tatum, not Fuqua, and landed immaculately (without the taint of being touched by another offensive player) in Harris' hands.
With no flags on the field, Harris sprinted into the end zone for the winning touchdown.
The Hail Mary
Dallas Cowboys at Minnesota Vikings
AFC Divisional Round; December 28, 1975
For Roman Catholics the Hail Mary is an intercessory prayer to Jesus' mother, the Blessed Virgin. Football fans use the term differently. In football parlance, the Hail Mary is a long pass thrown in desperation—often in a game's final moments—with a low probability of being caught.
We owe this terminology to Roger Staubach, great Dallas Cowboys quarterback and devout Catholic.
Staubach's Cowboys opened the 1975 postseason in Minnesota against the 12-2 Vikings. Trailing 14-10 in the game's final seconds, Staubach threw a desperation pass from midfield to receiver Drew Pearson, who caught the ball on the 5-yard line and took it across the goal line for the winning touchdown.
Following the game, Staubach said to the media about the game-winning play that he closed his eyes and said a Hail Mary. The expression caught on, and the Cowboys advanced to the Super Bowl, where they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Epic in Miami
San Diego Chargers at Miami Dolphins
AFC Divisional Round; January 2, 1982
"Dan Fouts" is a name that usually comes up in lists of all-time greats who never won a championship. The longtime San Diego Chargers quarterback may have never won the Super Bowl, but he did lead his team to an epic playoff victory in 1982, in a game later known as "The Epic in Miami."
Nowadays, a 41-38 score in an NFL game would be considered high-scoring but not unusual. In 1982 it was unheard of.
The January 2, 1982 AFC division playoff game between the Chargers and the Miami Dolphins and at Miami's Orange Bowl was a glimpse into the future, setting NFL playoff records for total points (79), total yards (1,036), and total passing yards (809). The intensity of the game and the near 90-degree heat left a bunch of the players exhausted and dehydrated.
San Diego appeared to be in control after one quarter, leading 24–0. But Miami scored 17 unanswered in the second, to close within a touchdown by halftime. At the end of the third the score was tied at 31.
The Dolphins, after intercepting a pass from Fouts to Charlie Joiner late in the third, scored on the first play of the fourth quarter. Miami maintained a 7-point lead and was prepared to put the game out of reach when running back Andra Franklin fumbled deep in Chargers territory.
Fouts drove his team the length of the field to score a touchdown and send the game into overtime. The Chargers won the toss and drove down to the Miami 10 yard line for what would normally be an easy field goal. But thanks in part to a bad snap, Chargers kicker Rolf Benirschke's kick went wide left.
Miami answered by marching back down the field and attempting a 34-yard field goal attempt of their own. San Diego lineman Leroy Jones blocked the attempt by Dolphins kicker Von Schamann.
The Chargers managed to get in position for another short field goal. This time Benirschke's kick was good, giving San Diego the 41-38 win.
The Catch
Dallas Cowboys at San Francisco 49ers
NFC Championship Game; January 10, 1982
The Dallas Cowboys had dominated the NFC in the 1970s. From 1966 through 1980 America's Team won 11 Division titles, made 14 (of 15 possible) playoff appearances, advanced to eight NFC or NFL Championship Games, played in five Super Bowls, and won two.
The San Francisco 49ers, by contrast, qualified for the playoffs only three times during that span: in 1970, 1971, and 1972. All three times they were eliminated by the Cowboys. From 1973 through 1980 the Niners never appeared in the Playoffs and put together only one winning season (an 8-6 campaign in 1976).
But in 1981 third-year coach Bill Walsh turned things around in San Francisco. The 49ers went 13-3 that year, running away with the NFC West and clinching the top seed in the playoffs. This earned them the chance to host the Cowboys in the NFC Championship Game.
The Cowboys and Niners were evenly matched and traded the lead throughout the game. With about five minutes remaining, San Francisco took possession on their own 10 yard line, trailing 27-21. Third-year quarterback Joe Montana, who had thrown three interceptions to that point, drove the team down the field. With less than a minute on the clock, the Niners were on the Dallas 6, facing third-and-goal.
Montana called a play for wide receiver Freddie Solomon, hoping to duplicate a play that had resulted in a first-quarter touchdown. But the Cowboys were ready for it and had Solomon covered.
Montana scrambled. Under pressure, and with Cowboys 6-foot-9 defensive end Ed "Too Tall" Jones chasing him, Montana threw a high pass off of his back foot into the back of the end zone. It almost appeared as though he were throwing away the ball to avoid a sack. But receiver Dwight Clark (who, like Walsh and Montana, was in his third year with the team) made a leaping catch, securing the ball above his head with the tips of his fingers.
"The Catch," as it is now known, tied the game. The extra point gave San Francisco the lead for good.
Here's Vin Scully with the call:
The Freezer Bowl
San Diego Chargers at Cincinnati Bengals
AFC Divisional Round; January 10, 1982
On January 2, 1982 the San Diego Chargers played in 88-degree heat in Miami. (See above.) The following weekend they went to Cincinnati for one of the coldest playoff games in league history.
The Ice Bowl holds the distinction of being the NFL game played at the coldest temperature. But, in terms of wind chill, the 1981 AFC Championship Game between the Chargers and Bengals at Cincinnati's Riverfront Stadium was even more frigid.
According to the formula for wind chill that the National Weather Service used at the time, the average wind chill for the game was -55° F. (Using the updated formula that the NWS introduced in 2001 the wind chill that day was around -34°.) According to this Cincinnati.com article, the beer and ketchup froze that day.
The Chargers hailed from sunny San Diego and had played the previous week in the uncomfortable heat of South Florida. And they didn't adjust well.
The Bengals took a ten-point lead in the first quarter. San Diego closed the margin to three in the second, but Cincinnati added a touchdown before halftime and were dominant after the intermission. The Bengals managed the cold and won the game 27-7 earning the franchise its first trip to the Super Bowl.
Chargers tight end Kellen Winslow said that the extreme playing conditions were "inhumane" and claims to have physical ailments from the game that he never recovered from.

If you are planning a trip to Vietnam - and isn't everybody, these days? - you may be tempted to do some trekking among the colourful hill tribes in the northern Hoang Lien Son mountains around Sapa.
The brochures are alluring: steeply sloped green peaks bathed in brilliant sunshine; ruddy-cheeked tribe women wearing bright colours and smiling warmly; the promise of clean air and tranquillity after the chaos of Hanoi. Sapa has an exotic back-story, too: a former French colonial hill town, founded around 1900, it sits high (1,600 metres) in a remote pass close to the Chinese border.
But, as I discovered on a recent visit, not quite remote enough. In fact, unless you have a well-developed sense of the absurd and immense tolerance for the hard sell, you might want to think again. From the moment you step out of your minivan in the town of Sapa (pop. 40,000), after a 90-minute drive up the mountain, you will be besieged by Hmong women - short, friendly, decked out in bright head scarves, patterned umbrellas and dark leggings and as persistent as black flies.
They followed us everywhere on our March visit - even on a three-hour "trek" through high pastures, sodden rice paddies and down slippery goat paths to a neighbouring village. We told them we weren't buying the blankets, trinkets and scarves they carry in woven baskets; we asked them politely to let us walk in peace; finally, we affected tight smiles and tried ignoring them.
Nothing worked. Every foreign tourist (and there were many) had their own personal entourage of three or four women and girls, dogging their every step, asking repeatedly: "What is your name? Where are you from? You buy something from me?"
Some tourists are charmed; check out the online commentary. They bond with their particular hill tribe friend and follow them to their simple homes for a meal or overnight stay. (Prices are negotiable and reasonable). This, for some, is that all-too-rare authentic travel experience - and the competition for the tourist dollar is certainly authentic.
There are at least five different hill tribes living in the Sapa area, mainly Hmong, Dao and Tay. Each group wears a different costume - bright head scarves, indigo cloaks, leggings and hats of all descriptions. Until the tourist avalanche of the mid-'90s, they lived a marginal existence trying to raise crops and animals in challenging terrain and to remain culturally independent of Vietnam.
They are friendly and not at all menacing - although, sometimes, they seem bored with their well-rehearsed pitches and our predictable replies. But to call them merely "entrepreneurial" as our guidebook did, is like describing Don Cherry as a little overdressed.
They lay in wait outside our (freezing) hotel lobby, pressing their smiling faces, and their plump babies' faces, into the glass windows. They arrived in town early, by the truckload (from their hill villages), and worked Sapa's warren of narrow streets until dark.
They followed us through dense fog and drizzly rain, down quiet alleys, through the bizarre and busy market, back to the hotel after dinner. The only escape was to enter a restaurant or shop, but the restaurant fare wasn't appetizing (a lot of mediocre French and Italian) and the shops mostly sold North Face knock-offs and the same colourful hill tribe crafts the women peddled, only at lower prices. This cat-and-mouse game is hardly surprising. We foreign tourists are like a river of money running over parched ground. The nomadic agriculture that used to occupy the colourful hill tribes clearly doesn't pay as much as tourism - in fact, hunger used to be common. Now the government has trouble keeping children in school, particularly girls, given how much more lucrative it is to chase tourists.
But it can be disheartening - and, ultimately, could be self-defeating for these impoverished ethnic minorities - to see people reduced to museum exhibits. A low point in our visit was a three-kilometre walk down the mountain from Sapa on a spacious stone pathway (clearly a government infrastructure project) to a "typical" hill-tribe home in the village of Cat Cat.
It was like an Upper Canada Village of poverty: four or five dirty, ill-clad children playing inside the window less interior, damp wood emitting smudges of charcoal-coloured smoke, black hairy pigs rooting around the door, the colourful hill tribe women working a loom on the porch. While they worked, tall, well-fed westerners wearing expensive outerwear poked around their living space. Outside another house, a thin monkey was chained to the porch - a sad survivor of a species that was once abundant.
What no amount of desperate commerce or compromised culture could spoil, however, were the magnificent vistas - mountain peaks, many deforested, some covered in bamboo forest, criss-crossed with stone fences, or, in the valleys, gracefully terraced rice paddies. And mist. To be precise, 160 days of mist a year. Plus cloud, plus rain; the usual drapery of mountainous regions. It was mystical, if damp: water buffalo would emerge suddenly out of the drifting gloom, while women built stone fences in a steady drizzle.
It was cold, too - not just outside, where it ranged from nine to 13 degrees, but in the unheated hotel rooms and lobbies. We didn't pack warm-enough jackets, thick-enough socks or heavy-enough sweaters and, while you could buy dog meat and a wild array of unfamiliar herbs at the local market, there wasn't a woollen vest to be found. Only cheap fleeces.
Anytime between September and May will likely be chilly. From May to August temperatures can climb to sub-tropical range, but it rains even more then. Be sure to pack hiking boots, or you'll have to buy cheap imitations locally or rent rubber rain boots for $1 from your hotel. That's what we did, and our feet stayed dry, but the mud was so slick we were almost sliding down the hills. One worthwhile purchase: a $1 bamboo pole from the avid child vendors.
After the views, the other worthwhile part of the trip was the overnight train from Hanoi where we shared a comfortable four-person berth. But it deposited us in the border town of Lao Cai at 4:30 a.m.
Unfortunately, our Intrepid Travel tour guide didn't show up, so we ended up paying $30 - 10 times the going rate - to be shoe-horned into another crowded van for the final leg up the mountain to Sapa. (We got the money back later.)
Our five-day tour (at about $245 each) was supposed to include a "homestay" at a village some seven kilometres from Sapa, but we bailed after seeing the unheated bunkhouses - which are really tourist holding pens - where we were expected to sleep. It was just too wet and too cold, and the prospect of making small talk for hours with our designated "family", while trying to stay warm beside a small, struggling fire was a bit too authentic. We fled back to Hanoi - grey and beatup and not particularly warm, but a real city at least.
The really fit and keen might want to try a few days trekking up nearby Mount Fansipan (3,143 metres), but be warned: other visitors report garbage on the mountain, uncharming bamboo huts and cold winds. It might be worth splurging on the high-end Victoria Sapa Resort and Spa Hotel, with its designated train car from Hanoi. It costs about $150 per night, but the rooms are reportedly heated.
Count me out, though. My lasting memory of the Sapa region will be standing on a steep hillside looking down at the "remote" village of Ta Van - a collection of ramshackle wooden cabins along a small river rushing through a deforested valley. Except for the queue of western tourists, many wearing rain ponchos, shuffling from restaurant to craft shop to waiting tour buses - with their escort of colourful hilltribe women, of course - it was untouched. Well, almost.

Country music entertainer and native Missourian Leona Williams had a stretch of U.S. Route 63 named in her honor Sunday in a private dedication ceremony.
Country music entertainer and native Missourian Leona Williams had a stretch of U.S. Route 63 named in her honor Sunday in a private dedication ceremony.
The newly christened "Leona Williams Highway" runs through the singer/songwriter's hometown of Vienna, Mo.
To celebrate the occasion, Leona Williams and her son, Ron, gave a public concert at the Vienna High School gymnasium following the dedication ceremony.
"I never dreamed I'd have a highway named after me," Williams said. "I'm honored and thankful to receive such an honor. I want to credit my family and friends and the folks in Vienna for thinking so highly of me."
Speakers at the dedication ceremony included Bill Fussner, who gave the invocation and benediction; David Silvester, Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Central District engineer; Ray Schwartze, Maries County presiding commissioner; David McCormick, owner of the Ernest Tubb Record Shop in Nashville, Tenn.; Bill Anderson, also known as Cousin Carl with KWKZ-Pure County Radio in Cape Girardeau; and Corey Ryder, a radio personality from Vermont.
Several themes ran through the speakers' remarks, including the fact that Williams always remembered her roots and took time to give back to her community and to those who helped her along the way.
Anderson said if he had to use one word to characterize Williams, it would be integrity.
"Your career has been built with integrity," Anderson told Williams.
Active in her family's band since childhood, Williams landed her first radio show, "Leona Sings" on the KWOS radio station in Jefferson City at the age of 15. Later, she worked as a bass guitarist and backing vocalist in Loretta Lynn's road band.
By 1968, Williams was recording for Hickory Records, where she released several singles, including "Once More" and "Country Girl with Hot Pants On."
In 1976, she recorded the album San Quentin's First Lady for MCA Records, which was the first country album recorded by a female artist inside a prison.
She joined Merle Haggard's road band in the mid-1970s, where she wrote two of Haggard's No. 1 hits, "Someday When Things Are Good" and "You Take Me For Granted." In 1978, the two charted in the country Top 10 with the song, "The Bull and the Beaver."
She also wrote "Dallas" for Connie Smith and "Get Whatcha Got And Go" for Loretta Lynn. She recorded two more singles for Elektra Records in 1981, and charted another duet with Haggard titled, "We're Strangers Again."
In 1999, she was inducted into the Country Music Association of Texas Hall of Fame. She was honored with the prestigious George D. Hay Award in 2002 and was also inducted into the Missouri Country Music Hall of Fame.
In 2011, Williams received the Entertainer of the Year Award by Reunion of Professional Entertainers. For the better part of the last decade, she has been headlining some of Branson's most successful shows.

Paulstown is just a little over a mile from the Kilkenny/Carlow border. As a result many people's business, social and personal lives are orientated towards Carlow. A sporting example is found in the history section of the Carlow GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) website.
In 1931 the Carlow county hurling final, between Bagenalstown and St. Mullins, was played in Paulstown. Paulstown had also played in the Carlow county hurling championship in the preceding years.

I was pretty upset that the large was so small. I actually had to re-order it in a 2XL in order for it to fit! As for the art work, it is absolutely beautiful! I was proud to say that I was the only person I saw at the Ed Sheeran concert that was wearing that shirt and I got quite a few compliments! They told me in order to get a refund for the first shirt, I could send photographic proof that I had destroyed it, rather than shipping it back. I would've loved to have gotten my $35 refunded but I just couldn't bring myself to cut it up so I now have a shirt I can wear and one that's way too small. I'm sort of bummed about that but I am happy with the design of the shirt!

text: I keep reading about how most people have little to no faith that #7 is gonna be the guy here. Granted his performance has been mediocre at best but it's not as if he has had any help. I am too lazy to look it up but am pretty sure the chiefs were at the top of the league in dropped balls last year with D-Bowe having a lot of them. Chambers made no effort to break up that pick on the underthrown ball last week. They run routes short on 3rd and long situations. Is it just me or do our wide receivers have as much to blame as our qb.

How did the Branch Area Careers Center (BACC) prepare you for success in your post-secondary education?
Under the instruction of Kristen Dogan, who led me to the decision of attending Johnson & Wales University, I was far more prepared for college than I ever would have been by just taking regular high school courses.
At the BACC, I was able to focus on my career of choice, and Chef Dogan made sure I knew everything I needed for my college courses. Because of this, I was enrolled in the fast track program, tested out of half of my freshman year, and even graduated an entire semester ahead of time.
The BACC is a wonderful school and was instrumental in my success at a highly competitive university.
How did the BACC prepare you for your career?
The BACC prepared me for my career by offering competitions through organizations such as the National Restaurant Association�s ProStart and Skills USA. They also taught me discipline, built my confidence, and instilled in me a work ethic that is so important when you are working in high pressure situations.
Through the Culinary program at the BACC, I learned about not only the ins and outs of the kitchen, but also the front of the house staff which has made me a more well-rounded chef.

Coach Aaron Green said there would be days like this.
Coach Aaron Green said there would be days like this.
Cold shooting and a second half lapse in defense brought the Wildcats to within a point of losing their first game, but a last second 3-pointer came up short and Oak Ridge held on to beat Karns 60-59 on Tuesday.
Despite the Wildcats recent hot shooting, coach Green let his kids know that there would be a time this year when the shots wouldn't drop.
"We had a 14-point lead at halftime and we stopped defending and stopped rebounding," coach Green said. "Regardless of what you do on the offensive end ... if you don't defend and rebound, you are going to give teams a chance. Especially a team that's got a player like (Devin Sibley)."
Sibley put up 27 points on the Oak Ridge defense, 11 in the third quarter, to put the Beavers within striking distance, but was held to just three points in the fourth.
Karns (6-3, 2-3 in District 3-AAA) tied the game at 57 on a tip in by Tyler Maples under 3:00 to go. A basket by Demauray McClanahan and a free throw by Jaylin Henderson gave Oak Ridge (8-0, 5-0) a slight lead going into the final minute, but Karns was given a pair of chances within the last minute.
A charge call near the half-court line turned the ball over to Karns, but their shot was blocked by Isaac Merian. On the ensuing inbounds play, a walk was called and the Beavers took a timeout with 20.2 seconds left.
Oak Ridge double-teamed Sibley with the ball at the top of the key forcing another timeout to set up the final play. The Wildcats forced Sibley to make a pass to Hunter Goforth in the corner for a 3-pointer that hit off the near side of the rim and time expired.
"The only thing we did well in the late game situation was double team Sibley," Green said. "We are not going to let him beat us. We made sure somebody else was going to have to beat us."
Oak Ridge did start out strong with a 14-2 run, but Karns matched it with a 10-3 run of their own to be down by just seven at the end of the first quarter. The 'Cats 14-point halftime lead dropped to one after a 3-pointer by Sibley but Cory Fagan hit a trey to keep the Beavers at bay.
Henderson led Oak Ridge with 15 points —10 in the first half. Merian had 12. Rashad Gray had nine, all in the first half. Rian Hall had eight and Fagan finished with seven.
Maples had 12 for Karns. Goforth had eight. No other Karns player had more than six.
"It's better to play bad and win than play bad and lose," Green said. "Even though we tried to give it away four or five times, the last minute and half, it was a great, great learning experience for us."
After four double-digit district wins, Oak Ridge will get another learning experience Friday when they face 7-1, 5-0 Powell. Powell's lone loss is against Karns in a Thanksgiving tournament game at Gibbs that doesn't count towards the district standings. The Beavers won 77-73.
Oak Ridge lost to Powell twice last year by a combined four points.

An arctic blue washer/dryer combo sets the tone for accents colors in this gray-on-white laundry room - irregularly spaced power blue tiles in the backsplash, sea blue soap dispenser, and pastel hydrangea blossoms on the upper shelf. Adding a whimsical element, three children's drawings are suspended by wide ribbons tied into bows - just the thing to make you smile as you add the soap.
It's down to business with this raised laundry set. No more uncomfortable back strain from bending down to load and unload - just toss your dirties in and go. Mind you, perhaps you'll pause to let your mind wander along the painted roadway and into the city. Your four-legged companion would surely be willing to forsake his comfortable pooch-sized sofa and accompany you.
High efficiency doesn't apply to just the washer/dryer in this intelligently designed laundry space. Angular and distinctly modernist vertical grained cabinetry forms a pleasing visual contrast to the room's traditional Asian accessories - antique chest, stone carving, and potted plant. Rich umber walls create warmth and an unexpected sense of drama, the perfect counterpoint to gleaming stainless steel.

By The Examiner staff
Independence police have announced that the suspect arrested in the March 7 death of Charles Stephens is the victim's wife, Kirstin A. Stephens.
She was arrested Friday in Cass County and has been charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action. Charles Stephens, 65, was found dead at their home in the 800 block of South Jones Road.
Court documents say that Kirstin Stephens, 39, called 911 from a neighbor's home shortly after 7 p.m. that Friday to report finding him dead. He had been shot several times.
She told officers she had been out most of the day. However, investigators later found that surveillance cameras at two locations where she claimed to have been did not show her there. A search of the home revealed a rifle hidden beneath a bathtub, and lab tests confirmed it as the weapon that killed Charles Stephens. The only DNA found on the rifle belonged to Kirstin Stephens, the court statement said.
Investigators found that Kirstin Stephens was a heavy gambler and the couple was in financial distress. Their home had been sold for back taxes in November 2013. The day Stephens died, the new owner had showed up at the home and was given limited access. That person told police he saw someone in bed, covered up. Kirstin Stephens said it was her father.
During the investigation, Kirstin Stephens admitted she was having an affair. People who knew the couple told investigators they had heard her say that her husband was worth more to her dead than alive.
The murder charge is punishable by 10 years to life in prison.

As a community shelter, we depend on the community to do the right thing: keep the cat and dog population from exploding.
Things got really out of control in the spring of 2009. That was when seven dogs and eight cats at the shelter turned out to be pregnant. They ended up having their babies within two weeks of each other: fifteen homeless animals suddenly turned into over one hundred homeless (and very helpless) animals.
The surprise pregnancy part of this story is not as unusual as you might think. We can take in an animal that exhibits no sign of being pregnant and two weeks later notice that it is starting to show. Both dogs and cats have really short pregnancies: all it takes is nine weeks.
Does it go without saying that morale among the shelter staff was very low at this point? We love puppies and kitties as much as anyone, but we have no space for sheltering stray animals when every other kennel or cage houses a nursing mama. Luckily there were long-time volunteers willing to foster some of these litters in their homes. And happily Missy (our manager) was able to transport some mamas with their pups to rescue groups in other parts of the state.
But we clearly have a problem when one animal that no one wants turns into six or seven or even fifteen!
This experience caused us to become much more proactive with our spay/neuter effort. As a community shelter, we depend on the community to do the right thing: keep the cat and dog population from exploding. The only way to do this – apart from keeping every female animal under strict supervision whenever she is in heat, which can be as many as five times a year for a cat – is to have her spayed and have him neutered.
So now we promote spay/neuter every spring. And we help folks in financial need pay for the surgery. And local veterinary clinics do their part by reducing their rates for spay/neuter in March. And we get results.
Oh, there are still surprise pregnancies. And there are still litters of pups and kittens dropped off at the shelter, especially in the spring. But not as many as there used to be.
Overall within the last three years (since 2010, when the March "Prevent a Litter" campaign began) we have seen a significant reduction in our annual intake numbers. Our save rate (number returned to owner, adopted, or transported to collaborating rescue groups) has risen accordingly. Clearly our investment in spay/neuter is leading to fewer homeless animals and more happy endings!
Please spay/neuter your dogs and cats. And if your animal is already fixed, remember that you can "spay it forward" by donating to our campaign; your donation will stay in this community and help a neighbor. Read more about our spay/neuter effort at preventalitter.blogspot.com.

The Rotary Club of Greensburg recently made their annual distribution of dictionaries to third graders throughout Kiowa County.
The Rotary Club of Greensburg recently made their annual distribution of dictionaries to third graders throughout Kiowa County.
Rotary clubs throughout the world participate in The Dictionary Project an annual event to benefit youth and promote literacy.
Third Graders from Kiowa County Elementary School and Haviland Grade School were the recipients of the dictionaries, which are specifically designed for children.
The goal of The Dictionary Project is to assist all students in becoming good writers, active readers, creative thinkers, and resourceful learners by providing them with their own personal dictionary, according to the website www.dictionaryproject.org. "Watching the third graders dive into the dictionaries once they receive them is an awesome experience. They are so intrigued and want to look everything up all at once," said Greensburg Rotary President Chad Pore. "If we can help one kid improve their ability to read then this project is worth every dime."
Greensburg Rotary has 10-members who volunteer their time and talent to further the Rotary motto, "Service Above Self."
If you would like more information on how you can support programs like The Dictionary Project please contact Chad Pore at 620-546-4188 or email@example.com

Typically distance drivers have the thinnest and sharpest edges (profiles) and the widest rims. Due to their sleekness, they are very fast and more difficult to control than fairway drivers and mid range drivers. Generally speaking, they are recommended for players with experience and not for beginners with very little experience.
These overstable distance drivers can be sorted by Model (which is really Manufacturer), Price or Plastic to arrange them in groups that may help your search. Play around with it.

The iPhone 5 may cost the same as the iPhone 4S did when it was first released last year, but as for a replacement charger for the hot new Apple handset, well, you're going to have to cough up some more cash.
The USB power adapter plus a 30-pin USB cable — the full charger setup for an iPhone 4S or older, iPad, or iPod — costs $29 through Apple's website, just as it always has. However, Apple does not sell the USB power adapter and the new Lightning dock connector cable for the iPhone 5 together — you have to buy those separately, at a cost of $19 apiece.
That means iPhone 5 customers are forced to pay $9 more — an increase of roughly 24 percent — for a replacement or spare charger setup than customers with the iPhone 4S or older.
This does not make much sense, at least on the surface. Like the standard 30-pin to USB cable, a new Lightning cable will cost you $19. So theoretically, Apple should offer iPhone 5 customers the package deal (USB adapter plus Lightning cable) at a cost of $29.
We've reached out to Apple to see if they have a $29 Lightning charger package in the works, but have not yet heard back. We will update this space as soon as we do.
The 24 percent price hike follows complaints about the new Lightning-to-30-pin adapter, which comes with every iPhone 5, due to its relatively high cost: A replacement for that will cost you $29 (or $39) through Apple.
All said, we would be highly surprised if this jump in price is permanent; the company didn't officially raise the price of the full charger setup, after all. It simply failed to offer that option, meaning we have to piece it together ourselves, at a cost. Further, we doubt the $9 difference will have much impact on sales of the iPhone 5, which have already topped 5 million in just a matter of days. Still, forcing iPhone 5 customers to lay out an extra nine bucks for a replacement charger seems to us an unhelpful oversight, at best.

MAHB raises RM980 million in new equity via placement
04 March 2014
Sepang, 4 March 2014 - Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad ("MAHB") is pleased to announce the successful completion of a placement of 124 million new shares via an accelerated book-build exercise raising approximately RM980 million.
The issue price was fixed at RM7.90 per placement share, which represents a discount of approximately 4.3% to the 5-day volume weighted average price of MAHB shares up to and including 3 March 2014 of RM8.2579. The total number of shares to be issued represents 10% of the issued and paid-up share capital of MAHB as at 3 March 2014. The proceeds raised will be utilised to fund the acquisition of 40% stakes in Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Uluslararasi Havalimani Yatirim Yapim Ve Isletme A.S. ("Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport") and LGM Havalimani Isletmeleri Ticaret Ve Turizm A.S. respectively.
The placement was well subscribed, with the demand being 2.7 times in excess of the 124 million new shares available on offer. Furthermore, the placement attracted interest from a broad base of both domestic and foreign institutional investors, as well as new institutional investors. The deal also saw a healthy mix of reputable long-only and hedge funds, with foreign institutional demand coming in for approximately half of the deal.
MAHB is delighted by investors' overwhelming response to the private placement and their show of support. With the proceeds raised, MAHB will be able to increase its stake in the Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport to 60%, making it the single-largest shareholder in one of the fastest growing airport in the world. MAHB is raising its stake in the airport to diversify its earnings and sees long-term prospects in the airport.
Analysts are upbeat on MAHB's move to increase its stake in the Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport, as the Turkish airport is seen as a strong asset for the company and the move would benefit it in the long run.
The new shares are scheduled to be listed on 12 March 2014.
The deal was advised by CIMB Investment Bank Berhad while CIMB Investment Bank Berhad, Credit Suisse (Singapore) Limited and J.P Morgan Securities (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd acted as Joint Placement Agents.

"Japan's Killer Quake"
In its worst crisis since World War II, Japan faces disaster on an epic scale: a rising death toll in the tens of thousands, massive destruction of homes and businesses, shortages of water and power, and the specter of nuclear reactor meltdowns. The facts and figures are astonishing. The March, 2011 earthquake was the world's fourth-largest since recordkeeping began in 1900 and the worst ever to shake Japan. G

The Neosho R-5 Board of Education will consider the employment of a new football coach at their monthly school board meeting Tuesday evening.
The Neosho R-5 Board of Education will consider the employment of a new football coach at their monthly school board meeting Tuesday evening.
The meeting is set for 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Neosho Administrative Center, 418 Fairground Road.
The board will consider Dustin Baldwin for the job, according to information included in the school board packet.
Baldwin has been head coach of the Miller Cardinals since 2009, finishing with an overall 43-8 record after four seasons there.
Baldwin and his Cardinals finished 12-1 last season.
If approved for the Neosho coaching position, it would not be Baldwin's first time on the Neosho sidelines.
He served as the Wildcats' offensive coordinator for one season in 2008, before leaving for the head coaching position in Miller.
If hired for the job, Baldwin will take over the position held for the last three years by Jared Schoonover, who submitted his resignation in January.
The Wildcats finished the 2012 season winless, following a 2-8 record in the 2011 football season.
The Neosho R-5 School district officially began the coaching search on Jan. 22, and received more than 30 applicants, consisting of head coaches, assistants and college assistant coaches, according to an earlier interview with Athletic Director Corey Roy.
Roy said the applicants came from Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Texas and Michigan. The school board is also expected to consider the employment of Brandi Arthur as the high school's new softball coach.
Arthur served for three years as the head coach of the Crowder College Lady Roughriders softball team, before stepping down in 2008.
She will replace former softball coach Melissa Clark, who also resigned in January.
Clark served as the softball coach since 2010.
While the board is scheduled to meet in closed session to discuss personnel issues, the two coaching hires are included in the consent agenda, to be voted on in the open meeting, according to the board packet.
In other business, the school board is expected to:
• Vote on a school calendar for the 2013-2014 school year. The recommended calendar has 171 days of school and more than the minimum 1,044 number of hours. The calendar includes eight make-up days, though only six are required. If the calendar is accepted, the school year would begin Aug. 14 and end May 16, 2014.
• Vote to approve summer school for 2013 be held June 3 through June 27. The district plans to offer one summer term and district administration is requesting the use of Benton Elementary School.
• Consider participating in the Southwest Missouri Work Ready Communities initiative. If approved the district would sign a nonbinding partnership letter, and recommend the National Readiness Certificate in hiring practices.
• Consider changing Director of Operations Tim Crawley's title to Assistant Superintendent of Business and Finance, as the position had formerly been named.
• Recognize the district's student, employees and patron of the month.

Gold's 12th year of consecutive gains in 2012 was greeted with bullish forecasts of even bigger gains ahead. But in reality, those advances have been masked by underlying weakness.
Although the world's largest gold ETP, the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), rose by 6.60% last year, it's been in a significant downturn for more than a year and a half.
Since mid-August 2011, GLD has fallen by -16.33%. For Q1 2013, gold posted its first consecutive quarterly loss since 2001.
Can gold bounce back?
Decelerating Asset Flows
The velocity of money flows into gold exchange-traded products (ETPs) has slowed.
Since the start of the year, gold-backed ETPs experienced their largest outflows ever, declining by 7.2% to 70.66 million ounces, according to Reuters data. Assets in GLD are down 12% to 39.3 million ounces.
High profile investors like George Soros and Louis Moore Bacon have their exposure to gold via their investment vehicles. Late last year, Bacon's investment firm sold its entire stake in GLD while Soros Fund Management reduced its GLD position by 55% to 600,000 shares. Bucking this trend has been the world's banks.
In Q4 2012, global central banks accumulated 145 tons of gold, the second-highest quarterly total since the height of the credit crisis in Q2 2009. But this still hasn't been enough to push gold prices higher.
Are Miners a Warning Sign for Gold?
One of the few sectors within the stock market now sustaining sizable losses are gold mining stocks (GDX). The sector has lost more than -22% over the past year and is down -18.41% year todate.
On Feb. 14, via our Weekly ETF Pick update, we wrote about a high probability setup in the precious metals category:
"Despite a rising stock market, the Market Vectors Gold Miners (GDX) has lagged both the broader U.S. stock market along with the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) by a very significant margin. The current downtrend for mining stocks is still in place.
"Furthermore, a double-digit slide for gold would likely translate into a 20%-plus loss in mining stocks. This scenario offers some big upside potential for bears. Buy the Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bear 3x Shares (DUST) at current levels."
Our February DUST trade gained 29.6% in the week after we recommended it.
And our GDX put options alert in that same report are still open and have already generated a 100%-plus gain.
Put another way, the buy-and-hold gold trade isn't working.
While it's true that gold equities aren't the same as physical gold, the subpar performance for both is a red flag for bulls.
Will GLD follow GDX down the tubes? Recent price action tells us almost everything we need to know.
Relative Weakness
Upon closer analysis, the only real strength in the precious metals sector right now has been with tinier markets like platinum (PPLT) and palladium (PALL).
On a relative performance basis, both metals are outperforming gold and silver. Despite gold's recent performance woes, its longer-term uptrend has yet to be broken.
When GLD was launched in 2004, gold bullion traded around $450 per ounce vs. $1,550 today. That's a 244% gain, as goldbugs rightfully point out.
What about now? As everyone should know, history isn't prologue. And if gold breaks below key price support levels, it will only re-confirm that lower prices are still ahead.

What is Visualize?
JoVE Visualize is a tool created to match the last 5 years of PubMed publications to methods in JoVE's video library.How does it work?
We use abstracts found on PubMed and match them to JoVE videos to create a list of 10 to 30 related methods videos.Video X seems to be unrelated to Abstract Y...
In developing our video relationships, we compare around 5 million PubMed articles to our library of over 4,500 methods videos. In some cases the language used in the PubMed abstracts makes matching that content to a JoVE video difficult. In other cases, there happens not to be any content in our video library that is relevant to the topic of a given abstract. In these cases, our algorithms are trying their best to display videos with relevant content, which can sometimes result in matched videos with only a slight relation.
