MammoJam rocks for breast cancer
MammoJam grew out of an evening with friends. The idea of an annual breast cancer fundraiser developed in 2003 while Bill Romani rocked out to the music of the Grilled Lincolns at the 8x10 in Federal Hill. “My mom is a breast cancer survivor. And it occurred to me during the show that a member of the band, the singer, was also touched by breast cancer," Romani said. “His mom passed away from breast cancer when he was young." The seed was planted in Romani's mind, and in April of 2004 they held their first event. “It started very small, at the 8x10 on a Sunday afternoon," Romani said. Now, the event regularly sells out the entire 8x10 and features several national acts. “We've grown into a nonprofit organization that holds several events throughout the year," Romani said.

Barack Obama says victory in South Carolina proves he has diverse ...
With wins in heavily white Iowa and in South Carolina, where about half of Saturday's voters were black, Obama said he has proven he can win in any region. He said he wants to disprove "the assumption that young people are apathetic" and "the assumption that African-Americans can't support the white candidate; whites can't support the African-American candidate; blacks and Latinos can't come together." Even as he spoke, Obama got a boost from Caroline Kennedy, daughter of the late President John F. Kennedy. "Over the years, I've been deeply moved by the people who've told me they wished they could feel inspired and hopeful about America the way people did when my father was president," she wrote in the Sunday's edition of The New York Times. "That is why I am supporting a presidential candidate in the Democratic primaries, Barack Obama." After his speech, Obama flew to Macon, Ga., where he planned to attend a church service Sunday before campaigning in Birmingham, Ala.
