5 THINGS: Lectures, Civilization and Marbury v. Madison

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Sunday, February 24, 2013:

Interesting lectures today! There is a presentation on the environment and history of the Narrow River watershed at 1 p.m. at Maury Loontjens Memorial Library in Narragansett. And at 2 p.m., retired Colonel Theodore Gatchel speaks on 20th Century Vietnam at the Peace Dale Library.

Register for South Kingstown Little League or Softball! Yes, it’s time for the nation’s pastime – opening day is just around the corner. For baseball registration info, click here. For softball, click here.

Has the time or date or details of one of your events changed? If you posted the event yourself on our site, then remember – You can always change the details if you’re logged into your Patch account. Failing that, leave a comment on the item in question! The issue is that lately, people have been e-mailing me, and depending on the time of the day, it can take me anywhere from 30 minutes or 30 hours to get to the item, unfortunately. As a result, I encourage you all to be as proactive as possible!

Oh no! Maybe there seriously aren’t that many events today, given that it’s Flag Day in Mexico. As a result, our events calendar for today is a bit barren. If you’re having an event, please let us know in the comments. Also, make sure it isn’t left out in the future – Submit it via this link (as long as you’re logged into your Patch account).

Sign up for our daily newsletter! Hey, I realize we have a lot of neat features and knick-knacks on the site, so it can be confusing to keep up with it all. Want just one simple, easy to read daily digest? Sign up for our e-mail newsletter here then. It comes out between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. roughly, every single day of the week. Amazing, I know.

It also established that powdered wigs were not required for solid judicial rulings. On this day in 1803, Marbury v. Madison established the concept of judicial review.

You are responsible for me wasting too much time on my computer, which I thank you for! Happy 59th birthday to Sid Meier, creator of the Civilization series.
