The murals painted on the Berlin Wall were first painted months after it came down on November 9, 1989. They are currently being recreated by the 90 original artists from around the world, so that they may bring new life to the murals. Pollution, weather, and time had eroded the images. Only five of the original group of artists refrained from the restorations and six others have died, their murals being renovated by the rest of the artists.

For many of them, this is an emotional matter as the Berlin Wall is representative for a complete loss of freedom people had at the time preceding November 9, 1989.

A new band that just hit the market with its first album is Hot Chelle Rae, or HCR for short. “Lovesick Electric”. As such, I must say that, for beginners, they definitely know how to put a song together.

Their music is comprised of good lyrics that are catchy. Their songs get stuck in your head for hours at a time, plus their music is phenomenal. Their bassist can really put out a good beat. Take, for example, the song “Say (Half Past Nine),” which starts and ends with a superb mix of guitar, bass, and drums.

The James Logan Lady Colts battled their league rivals the Washington Huskies in the NCS girls volleyball championship. They played tough but it wasn’t enough. Washington was victorious by a score of 3 games to 2.

The first game was dominated by Washington and things didn'€™t look good for the Lady Colts.

From wikipedia:
Wilma Glodean Rudolph (June 23, 1940 – November 12, 1994) was an American athlete and three time Olympic champion.
Rudolph was born in Clarksville, Tennessee and at early age it was discovered that she, the 20th of 22 children, had polio. Her mother took her to a hospital for blacks 50 miles from their home twice a week, and at age 12, she could walk normally again — and she decided to become an athlete. She lost many of her early races. Slowly she went from last, to second from last, to first in all her races.

See Wilma Rudolph win her 100 meters race versus Russian opponents, plus other stories of the day, in a Universal International newsreel from 1962, free from the Internet Archive.
