The asterisk, its more than just a symbol these days. Sure, it still refers to just a footnote, but when it comes to sports, its got a whole new meaning. It stands for being fake.

Or, be whatever you want. Just don't be an asterisk. For more information log on to

The Ice Cream Scoop, developed by Alfred Cralle, is just one of the many life-changing innovations that came from the mind of an African American. We must do all we can to support minority education today, so we don't miss out on the next big idea tomorrow. To find out more about African American innovators and how to support the United Negro College Fund, visit us at

Rock the Count: American Indian Music Festival
Join in the Rock the Count: American Indian Music Festival celebration, sponsored by the U.S. Census Bureau, on Saturday, March 27 from 12-5pm at the Los Angeles State Historic Park.
Come enjoy the arts, crafts, food, vendors, and free entertainment and performances by American Indian and Alaska Natives. The event also reminds us to make sure everyone is counted during the 2010 U.S. Census. Numbers generated by the census play a key role in the funding Metro receives for transit purposes.
The Los Angeles State Historic Park is located at 1245 N Spring Street – a short walk from the Metro Gold Line Chinatown Station.
Go Metro and be one of the first 100 riders to show a valid Metro pass, Metro Rail ticket or Destination Discounts card to the Census Booth located at the entrance to the event to receive one free genuine leather personal planner. For more information, visit rockthecount.com or e-mail info@rockthecount.com.
