East Falls Church Metro Station

Jazz musician Nat King Cole, like many great black entertainers, was first introduced to music in church. Cole was born Nathaniel Adams Coles on March 17, 1919 in Montgomery, Alabama to Reverend Edward James Coles, Sr. and Perlina Adams Coles. Cole was one of 13 children, but only five of his sisters and brothers grew up to be adults.

Blair swimming drops to Division II

FEB. 12, MONTGOMERY AQUATIC CENTER-- For the last few seasons, the Blair swim team has teetered on the edge between Division I and Division II, its place in the former secured mostly by the strength of its boys' team. After narrowly escaping demotion to Division II at the end of last season after the boys finished fifth and the girls placed sixth at Divisionals (Watkins Mill, with its sixth-place boys and fifth-place girls, went down instead), the Blazers had hoped to avoid demotion once again this year because of an especially strong boys lineup.

Alex's top five for under 20

By Alexander Gold | Feb. 15, 2005, midnight | In Print »

While great computer games come out each year, like Half-Life 2, Doom 3, Far Cry, and Sims 2 this past year, I don't really like shelling out $45 to 50 apiece for these games. All too often, we gamers get caught up in the thrill of the moment and don't remember to buy those games we were excited about three years ago but never got around to playing. Even games from several years ago can be fun, exciting, wildly entertaining and greatest of all, dirt cheap.
