Indie 184: Dreams to Kweenz
Kweenz Destroy has been blooming since 2006, and with her new Bubble Gum Hottie line, Indie 184 is bound to have her name ring bells.
Interview by Aleida G. Garcia
Tell me a little about yourself and how you became interested in graffiti art.
Indie 184: I've been living in NYC for 30 years, graffiti has been quintessentially in my environment. When I was 11 years old, I went to the NYC Public Library and discovered Subway Art and Spraycan Art, I was completely blown away and started to copy the letters that spelled out my real name. I lived across the street from the video store which Tracy168 painted and that appeared in Spraycan Art, I would always see it and just fantasize of one day putting my art in the streets. But that was then and years later I would pay close attention to my subway rides. I'd see all the Revs, Smith, Sane and JA that embellished the dark tunnels. I started to investigate who these writers were and where else they got up. I would later meet writers like Casino142, Ceaze MSK and Baze PCB, who would teach me the fundamentals of graffiti. The most important would, of course, have to be Cope2.

Terrible TKid 170
The legend grew up involved with gangs in the South Bronx in the early-70s. After being shot, TKid traded the gang lifestyle and became devoted to subway graffiti.
What is the story behind your name?
TKid170: I came up with TKid 170 while laying in bed in a hospital room recovering from gunshot wounds back in 77.
Who were you influenced by?
TKid170: I'm a bastard son of many fathers when it comes to graffiti style. My biggest influence was Padre DOS (BOC); when it came to style he showed me the ropes and made it simple for me to understand that a piece is something that moves and flows like rhythm in music: letters sing to you and tell you a story. Then Tracy 168 influenced my characters style and showed me composition and broadened my mind by telling me there is nothing that can't be done when it come to letters. He also showed me the commercial value of graffiti. Gotta say: Tracy168 was a genius in his day.

Boots 119
He has been called "the Nucleus" of '70s subway graffiti. Boots was there since the beginning because of his desire to burn and influenced many of today's great writers.
When did you start?
Boots 119: Early-70s, when I was just a lad about 11 years old.
What crews are you down with?
Boots 119: MGA, Wildstyle, MG Boys, TDS, MAFIA Inc., OTB and TMTs.

The scene is so crazy and dope that it's hard to stand out in Europe. Serch is one international writer who catches our attention.
What's your background?
Serch: I have been writing graffiti since summer/fall 1985. I first started out drawing and practicing my hand style on paper and only did my first piece in 1986. I am down with so many crews but at the moment, but I mostly push NES, ZF, SUK, C2 and WSU, and I was so fortunate to be put down with several legendary crews from NYC like TDS, TMT, TM7, MAFIA, BYI and MTA… I started out in my hometown, Zwolle, which is a medium-size city about an hour north of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. I kept my focus on that city until the late-80s when I started bombing the rest of the country a little bit. In late 1989/early 1990 I got into major problems with justice because of my creative hobby and the result was a one and a half year retirement from the active scene, during which time I only painted an occasional legal wall and I kept on taking pictures of other people's work.

Quickly getting his style and rep up, the kid is definitely making his mark.
Where are you from and what is/was the scene like there?
Pear: As a writer, I'm from Washington, D.C. The D.C. scene was dead when I started wandering the streets. But, luckily for me, there was a lot of graff still running from the heydays of the 1990s, so I got to see a lot of dope shit from the likes of SMK, Cert, Some, Exist, Cast, Svev, Sycle, Mesk, Ultra, Clear, etc., etc. Within a year of my starting, D.C., began their buff campaign to revitalize certain neighborhoods I frequented. I saw rooftops smashed with sick pieces vanish, original D.C. hand styles washed away, even cutty piecing spots whitewashed. Before I knew it, not only was D.C. dead, but it was clean. I was an angry, depressed kid and heard my calling to pick up the slack, so I went for mines. Then these dudes Koma and Nore came back to town a year later and started smashing again, eventually leading to us beefing for about three or four years, give or take.

I, like any other good Philly writer, have that whip – you know, the whip you get after writing your name like, a million times. A dope hand has got to have that whip, it's gotta be uniform, good proportion, and should be an expression of your own personal style.

Much: Never Enough
Fontographer/Graffiti foreman Much has been punishing the freights for years with rare ferocity.

Much was featured in the Trains intro in Issue 2 of The Infamous. This is the extended, off-the-wall interview. The first two questions were asked by Nmph; the rest by Snickerdoodles McPoppycock.
For as long as I've known you, once we get to the train, you have always been the guy who is up for whatever and always the guy to ask "so where do you want to go?" You're never afraid to tackle the bar or to dodge the numbers, so what sort of car or situation would you say is the most undesirable for you to paint as far as the train itself goes?
Much: Probably just the car that I know isn't going any damn where. I'm not real picky, as long as it gets out there. And it doesn't need to be on a hotshot to Miami – just seen by somebody. Other than that, anything that I foresee as being atheistically displeasing. Like scrunching five people on a holy roller, or having someone go on the door just to fit in. Actually those big floaters above other people's pieces really don't look that hot, but I keep doing 'em. Dumb.

text: Steelers fans couldn't be happy when they saw LT Jonathan Scott and 2nd rounder Marcus Gilbert (playing as the top backup LT in this game) leave with apparent knee injuries. In his post-game press conference, Mike Tomlin reported that both Scott and Gilbert are going to be OK. Both have hyper-extended knees - painful but not serious. Isaac Redman's ankle was tweaked but he went back in the game and is also OK. Finally, Jerricho Cotchery had minor hamstring tightness. Injuries reports sometimes evolve over time, but it appears that the Steelers dodged a bullet - with no serious injuries in their impressive victory.

The Social Issues Pedagogy vs. the Traditional Principles of Economics: An Empirical Examination
AbstractStandardized test (TUCE) scores for students enrolled in a Social Issues course were compared to those of students in traditional Principles of Economics courses within the framework of a standard educational production function. The production function was estimated using Heckman's two-step procedure to correct for self-selection due to student attrition over the course of study. After controlling for student demographics, prior experiences, and academic aptitude, no significant test score differences were found between students in the Social Issues course and those in the Principles of Macroeconomics. However, Social Issues students were found to score significantly below students in the Principles of Microeconomics, ceteris paribus. The results also indicate that students had a higher probability of completion in the Social Issues course relative to a theory oriented Principles course.

Veterans call for an end to Sequester
Military veterans are calling on Washington to end the sequester.
Some veterans and local residents got together Wednesday at the World War II Monument in West Park in Allentown.
They say, while the federal Department of Veterans Affairs is exempt from mandatory spending cuts, non-VA services that veterans rely on are not.
"There are numerous veterans that are homeless, suffering from mental illness, substance abuse and it's not the VA they go to directly. They go through state and local agencies to get the care they need initially and are then funneled to the VA," said Iraq War veteran Michael Hoffman.
The event was put on by Keystone Progress, a Pennsylvania-based progressive advocacy group, the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare and the Association of Retired Americans.

Electronics giant Apple is rumoured to be releasing a new iPad in March. Source: AAP
UPSET you didn't get a shiny new iPad 4 for Christmas?
Well, take a deep breath. If the latest iPad rumours are true, it would be outdated in just a couple of months.
Apple is reportedly preparing to release its new model of the tablet in March.
The Apple news blog 9to5Mac has published reports that the new iPad 5 will have design elements of the recently-released iPad mini incorporated into it.
A source claims the new iPad will be thinner and lighter than its predecessor with a 9.7-inch display, 9to5Mac reports.
Apple unveiled the iPad 4 and iPad mini in October, and released them in November.
The Japanese blog Makotakara also added that the iPad mini would be equipped with a retina screen in its second generation.

Yesterday the Cardinals added their first free agent of the off-season, and his name wasn't Holliday, Cameron, Harden, Lackey or even Kearns. The identity of our latest redbird? Ex-Kansas, NYM and Atlanta Braves utility guy Ruben Gotay, who signed a one-year minor league deal with an invite to spring training. In the likely event that we hold onto him, he won't make more than the league minimum in 2010.
So, in the manner of my epoch-making post last year looking at 2009 Cardinals MVP Royce Ring, I thought I'd take a quick look at his career so far and see if there's any way he can make a significant contribution to our 2010 season.
Gotay is 26, and has bounced around AAA and MLB clubs the last 5 years, after being drafted as an 18-year-old out of Indian HIlls Community College in the 31st round of the 2000 draft. In 2004 and 2005, he was a bit-part player with the sorry Royals, putting up sub-.300 wOBAs with mediocre defence in the middle infield. In 06, he was traded to the Mets for in a two-way young, mediocre utility infielder swap for Jeff Keppinger (who had a nice 2007 with the Reds before becoming one of the worst players in baseball in 2008). Gotay spent 2006 as a 23 year-old in the AAA affiliates of the Royals and Mets, doing little with the bat to suggest he was likely to rake at MLB level. He was, nonetheless, still somewhat young for that level (or for MLB), so perhaps there was still some projection left.
In 2007, Gotay enjoyed his strongest year, putting up a decent .335 wOBA with a .351 OBP and 4 HR in 211 major league plate appearances with the Mets. He spent most of that time, as he has done throughout his career, at 2nd base or as an occasional pinch hitter.
In 2008, Gotay began a 2-year "journeyman" period, making his only MLB starts with the Braves, where he put up a .299 wOBA, on track with his .300 career line, in 117 PA mostly off the bench. He did, however, up his walkrate to a palatable 11.3%.
In 2009, after a short spell on the books in Pittsburgh, he landed in Arizona's AAA affiliate in Reno, and put up his strongest professional season to date at age 26 - despite not getting the call from the major league team, Gotay put up an enormous 21.6% (!) BB%, getting on-base at a .429 clip, and hit 11 dingers, putting up a .395 wOBA. I'd be inclined to take the increased power (Gotay had never reached double-figures in HR for any professional season) as a park effect - although I can't get park factors for AAA Reno (as the D'Backs affiliate played in Tucson before 2009), looking at the stats of that ballclub it seems pretty clear that it's a very good hitters' park indeed. That said, a 21.6% BB rate is nothing to sniff at, especially given that his previous season saw an uptick in walks as well.
Gotay is a switch-hitter, and can play 2B, 3B or (at a pinch) SS. He's basically put up the equivalent of a little over one year of UZR data at major league level (spread over several seasons) at 2B and comes in at a disappointing -7.7 runs, entirely due to poor range (his arm and glove and generally believed to be decent). He's likely better at 3B, although he probably doesn't have the bat to stick there in the majors. If he makes a start for us in the majors at shortstop, ever, let's just say we've probably got some pretty major injury issues there.
Career major league line in 811 PA: .255/.315/.371. Very marginal. Career wOBA of .300. However, I do believe there's a chance he's better than this line, as he put up many of his plate appearances as a 21/22-year-old in Kansas, when he predictably struggled. His stats since then (at AAA and MLB) have improved slightly, but he's still unlikely to sniff league-average offensive production and, at best, will be a useful backup guy with an ability to get on-base.
Gotay is best used against right-handed pitching as a left-hander. He's put up a decent line of .267/.316/.404 and has all but one of his MLB HR from this side. That's actually not a bad line, but given Schu is our 2B and hits right-handed pitching well, and Gotay doesn't have the bat to play 3B, it's hard to see where he fits in. In a pretty tiny sample size, Gotay doesn't hit left-handed pitching well, so it's hard to see any world where he's more use than Julio Lugo.
Overall, it's difficult to see where Gotay fits in, or why we need to add another utility middle-infielder when we just let Hoffpauir walk (unless Gotay's crazy BB% from AAA last year is a sign that he's really maturing at the age of 26, although it should be said that we got great offensive seasons from Tyler Greene, who has a great glove, and Jarrett Hoffpauir, who had more pop than Gotay, at AAA last year). It's hard to see how he's any better than Brian Barden, who likely has a slightly better glove (and, unless we look at 2009 stats in a vacuum, when Barden sucked and Gotay was excellent at AAA, a better bat).
Having another warm body can't hurt, I suppose, unless.... and here's the big problem - Gotay, if he's used with the same level of organisational sense that our AAA management wheeled out Jarrett Hoffpauir day-in, day-out as out starting 2B at Memphis last year after a genuine high-end prospect (Dan Descalso) had been brought up, could end up blocking an actual potentially useful player. Descalso played too much 3B and altogether not enough 2B last year after his promotion to AAA Memphis, and if that happens again this year, it could serve to severely dent his development. It's probable that Gotay will merely be a fill-in at 2B, SS and 3B (at present, it seems likely that Barden will be our only AAA 3B, with David Freese likely in the majors and utility-catcher Brandon Yarbrough will leave as a MiLFA), which would, I guess, be fine - but WOE BETIDE anyone who f's with our Descalso! Chris Maloney, take heed.

Henkel anticipates run on casein-free adhesives
Casein, a milk protein, has been in use for decades in the production of industrial adhesives for beverage bottle labeling. For a long time, there were no alternatives to this natural raw material that serves as the main ingredient of water-based adhesives. Acting with foresight, Henkel began to develop casein-free adhesives in the late 1990s, and in 2001 launched a range of synthetic products called Optal® LG offering equivalent bonding and processing properties. For the beverage industry they are highly attractive, as casein is becoming increasingly costly and there is still no end to the upward price trend.
From low price to luxury raw material
In the 1990's, the price of casein fluctuated between 2.50 and 4.50 euros per kilogram. The price of casein adhesives varied accordingly, as did the adhesive budget in the beverage industry. Accustomed to these fluctuations, bottlers have always expected a price increase to be followed by a decrease. This is why many bottling firms initially saw no reason to switch to the newly developed casein-free adhesives. However, since 2005, the price of casein has gone through the ceiling. After three price increases in 2007 alone, it has now reached 8.90 euros/kg, and the top grades of this much-coveted raw material are even more expensive. Smaller and medium-size bottlers in particular have now been hit badly by the resultant extra burden from the cost of labeling adhesives.
Long-term price stability for casein-free adhesives
As a consequence of this, Henkel's sales department has recently been noting a growing interest in casein-free labeling adhesives and a greater willingness to switch to them. With up to 20 percent savings per kilogram, they are now significantly more economical than casein adhesives. Furthermore, Henkel is promising better long-term price stability, which will enable bottlers to calculate with firmer prices. And casein-free labeling adhesives are also just as reliable in terms of processing and performance.
Smooth changeover to Optal® LG adhesives
The performance profile of casein-free adhesives is comparable to that of conventional products, as it has been proven in breweries and bottling plants all over the world. Casein-free adhesives satisfy the usual requirements in terms of bonding performance and machinability while featuring additional advantages such as longer shelf life and ice-water resistance. Seasonal and source-related quality fluctuations, which are inevitable with a natural raw material like casein, are now a thing of the past, because the quality of casein-free adhesive remains constant. Another benefit is the ease of changeover: Optal® LG adhesives can be processed without difficulty on existing labeling machines, and the changeover can be accomplished without any investment whatsoever.

Simi council expresses concerns in wake of Boston terrorist attack
Simi Valley City Council members expressed concerns Monday night that the city, home of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum, could be the site of a terrorist attack like the one at the Boston Marathon last week.
"We have the most visited presidential library in the country," Mayor Bob Huber said.
He and Councilman Keith Mashburn expressed their concerns after a retired Simi Valley police officer said during public comments that he lamented the police department's criminal-intelligence unit being disbanded several years ago, especially in light of the two bombs set off last Monday at the Boston Marathon which killed three people and wounded more than 170 others.
Police Chief Mitch McCann told the council that after becoming chief last year, he resurrected the criminal-intelligence unit, staffing it with one full-time officer.
"There are other avenues, not just the intelligence aspect of it, that I'm really trying to focus on right now to increase our capabilities as a department so that we can better respond to potential threats," he said in an interview.
Authorities say brothers Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, planted and set off the bombs at the marathon. Tamerlan was killed early Friday fleeing police. Dzhokhar was charged Monday by federal prosecutors and if convicted, could face the death penalty.

Gene was a plumber for 42 years and was part of Local Union 293 and Local Union 157. He was very proud of the work he did.

VIDEO: Meet the parrot who talks to her Worcester owner on the phone
12:27pm Thursday 1st May 2014 in News By Paul Jones
WHEN you're away at university in an unfamiliar city, it's natural that you will phone home to talk to friends and relatives while enjoying a cup of tea.
But for one student at the University of Worcester, her parrot was also a must-make phonecall—as well as sharing in the tea drinking—for her pet African grey, Jack, enjoys nothing more than a cuppa and a chat.
Lorna Webb, from Bedford, moved to the city two years ago to study a degree in journalism and scriptwriting, leaving behind her beloved bird, who is actually a female.
However, thanks to the animal's unusual talents, the pair are able to stay in touch.
"I miss her so much," said the 20 year old, who lives in Comer Road, in St John's. "She's such a little character, I chat to her on the phone and I've spoken to her on the webcam.
"She recognises my voice and it puts us both in a good mood." She says. "She has phone conversations with herself now, whistling the phone ringing and saying 'hiya mate, how are you?' and answering herself."
Although Jack lives in Bedford with Lorna's parents, Scott and Tracy Webb — who Jack knows as nan and granddad — she visits Worcester regularly for a catch-up over a cup of tea.
The family took on the parrot around eight years ago after her original owner died.
"She instantly took to me and it wasn't long before she was snuggling into my chest to watch EastEnders and drinking my tea," Lorna said.
But, she added, the parrot could sometimes be a bit naughty.
As well as enjoying drinking tea, Jack is also known to switch on the kettle herself and cause more mischief.
"It will be 3am and we wake up thinking the kettle is on," Lorna said. "But it's just her whistling.
"She also calls Charlie and Harry, the dogs. She will whistle for them and call them by their names."
Yet however much the pair miss each other, they are always happy when they reunite.
Lorna said: "I went home for Easter and when she saw me she just started breathing really heavily, like she was panicking with excitement.
"She's such a character."

TRANSLATION TUESDAY: Kicking off March, closing in on spring
Tennessee has packed a lot of action off the field into the last two months, obviously starting with last week's important delivery from the NCAA in the mail.
And now we're already a couple weeks away from the Vols getting busy on the turf again, giving us plenty to talk about this afternoon.
What will the depth chart look like for Derek Dooley's 15 practices this spring? How will Lane Kiffin's penalties shake out? How might they affect Dooley?
We can get into all that and much more when Translation Tuesday returns.


text: I've been lurking around this website for a while but I finally decided to make a post ! I've usually been over on the rams turfshowtimes but the rams haven't intrigued me much this year but to the the point ! I've been really happy with mizzou's recruiting lately and some of you have more insight into the current state of it then me so I'd just like to discuss some things like how many recruits could the Zou end up with to finish this recruiting class , 31 ? Also who you guys think are some of mizzou's top remaining targets position wise , as well as specific position wise ! Any 4 stars remaining Mizzou might be able to reel in ? Any chance some of our 2 stars decommit to give way to more 3 or 4 stars on the team ? Our recruiting has just been interesting to me lately and I can't wait to see how it all pans out , I'm hoping we get brian Wallace and roderick Johnson and some of our two stars go elsewhere

Cass County's Court Appointed Special Advocate received a boost in its program with a $13,000 state-funded grant.
In nationwide CASA offices, volunteers work with abused and neglected children and advocate for them in court. Stephanie Winkel, program director of the Cass County Child Advocates, said the grant was needed for the program, which will use it for salaries and volunteer expenses.
Winkel said the office submitted documents to the state in December specifying what they would do with the money and what accounting practices they have. The county is also required to submit an equal amount of money.
The county allocated $22,500 for the CASA program in 2013, Winkel said.
The money is distributed each year from the state office of GAL/CASA and it awards money based on the number of children in need of services cases in the county the previous year.
Winkel said they received a larger amount than usual due to the large number of child in need of services cases in 2011.
"We had a record year," Winkel said.
The county's CASA office also applies for competitive grants, Winkel said.
The money meant a great deal to Winkel because it received $6,000 from the state last year and were struggling to make ends meet, she said.
"Without that state money, the program would not be able to function the way it is," Winkel said.
Winkel said she would combine the county and state money into one account and use the money to pay her salary, the salary of the volunteer coordinator, work done by attorney Jeff Stanton and reimbursement of volunteer mileage and training.
Winkle said she believed they would receive funds from the grant later this year.
"We will hopefully receive half of it in February and the other half in June or July," Winkel said.
The county program currently has 18 volunteers, which Winkel said meet with the children at least every 30 days to monitor their situation and learn what will be in their best interest in terms of custody situations and visitation.
"Our guardians know the child," Winkel said. "They know who they're routing for on American Idol and who their teacher is."
Cass Circuit Judge Leo Burns said the majority of child in need of services cases involve preschool-aged children. Burns said an advocate is important in all juvenile cases, but it becomes essential with very young children.
"It's even more important when an infant or two or three-year-old has someone step in their shoes and advocate for their best interests," Burns said.
Burns said he takes the reports of the CASA volunteers into consideration during hearings.
"I pay close attention to their reports," Burns said.
Winkle said the office is looking for more volunteers, especially males.
"There are so many children out there who don't have a strong father figure in their life," Winkel said.

One in fifteen-thousand children is born with this disease, but doctors fear many will never be diagnosed. The common denominator is hunger.
Mealtime at the Floyd home is no ordinary affair. The refrigerator is padlocked. The microwave and even the toaster locked. A gate bars the kitchen, all to keep a five year-old girl from eating herself to death.
"She would do anything and everything to get food of any kind," says Traci Floyd.
Cassidie Floyd has Prader-Willi syndrome. It's a genetic disorder that comes with mental delays, behavioral problems, sleep disorders, and a host of other symptoms, most notably, obesity.
Laura Porch is a Family Nurse Practitioner, who specializes in Child and Adult Neurology. She says, "Because of a malfunction, these children never feel full no matter how much they eat. (They're) always hungry."
"Literally, just tears. Bawling at us. 'I'm hungry.' And, we've just fed her," says Floyd.
Little Cassidie picks her skin until she bleeds, another symptom of Prader-Willi. Add to that an inability to feel pain.
Prader-Willi patients start life small and undernourished diagnosed with Floppy Baby syndrome. Cassidie weighed just over six pounds at birth. Her mother describes the hunger as "the monster" saying it attacked when she was three.
Tracy says, "Literally, one day she went to bed and we had fought her all day to eat. The next day she woke up starving like she hadn't eaten in years. "
Cassidie gained seventy-five pounds in three months. That's when the Floyd family started locking up the food.
Porch says, "These children - you can't rationalize with. Literally, they will become very upset because in their mind/body they are hungry. It's a physical need."
Cassidie says when mama says no she gets mad and goes to her room.
What's not locked up is put high out of reach like a bag of contraband which includes candy and even crayons.
"The one thing we do know (she'll eat that is non-edible) ate most crayons...we battle her with crayons every day," says Tracy.
Prognosis? Not good. There is no cure for Prader-Willi. Diet pills don't work, even the ADHD medication she is on doesn't affect her appetite.
"We've caught this early and with proper education, behavior modification, hopefully it will help," says Porch.
A poster with "bad foods" hangs in the kitchen. Mealtimes and menus are non-negotiable. Treats like cookies or cake are two to three times A YEAR deal.
She has to have eight hundred to a thousand calories a day. No more. If she gets much more than that she can literally kill herself, "she can eat herself to death."
Neurologists believe there may be other "Cassidies" out there; children who are obese with behavior problems, who just haven't been diagnosed.
Porch says, "If they are always hungry, if food is such an issue for them, they're going to throw a temper tantrum or a fit. Then you need to check into it."
As for Traci Floyd, she asks for compassion. She doesn't want people to assume her daughter looks a certain way because of the way she (Traci) looks.
Her message? Cassidie can't help it. This sweet five year old is prisoner to a genetic monster that robs her of her mental capacity and her muscles and holds her hostage to a hunger so extreme it will never go away.

The Reno Police Department would like to wish all of its citizens a Happy and Safe Holiday Season. To ensure a safe Holiday Season, the Police Department would like to offer the following safety tips while shopping and at home.
HolidayCrime Prevention Tips While Shopping:
Safety Tips in Parking Lots:
Nothing says you have to be confronted to be suspicious. If something you see or hear makes you feel uncomfortable or suspicious, it's probably because it should. Call mall security or the police department if you witness any suspicious or criminal activity while doing your holiday gift shopping.
Crime Prevention Tips at Home:
Safety at home and out in the public begins with ourselves. Stay alert to your surroundings and the people around you. A little bit of pre-planning can go a long way in ensuring you do not become a victim and the thieves don't make away with your valuables.
Anyone having information relating to these types of crimes should contact the Reno Police Department at 334-2115, Secret Witness at 322-4900, www.secretwitness.com, or text the tip to 847411 (TIP 411) keyword - SW

To Sell Is Human : The Surprising Truth About Moving Others
AudioFile Reviews 2013 March
Daniel Pink says that selling is really any type of influence: doctors influencing patients, teachers influencing students, or any effort to persuade or change someone. With snappy, conversational writing, he offers a tidy way to understand all kinds of influence and shows how to sharpen such efforts through the use of empathy, focused communication, and a genuine desire to clarify needs and be helpful. Daniel Pink's enthusiastic performance makes this broader way of looking at sales sound appealingly revolutionary. He's utterly spontaneous as he moves from one idea to the next, restating the big picture as he goes and capping his insights with easy-to-remember summaries and recommendations. With the author's engaging reading making the research findings sound as entertaining as the storytelling, this is a one-of-a-kind audio. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine
Library Journal Express Reviews
Pink (Drive; A Whole New Mind) successfully narrates his examples and research confirming that what he calls "non-sales salespersons" (i.e., the bulk of us) regularly persuade, convince, and influence others to give up something in exchange for something else. As they move others to uncover unknown challenges, modern salespersons are problem finders. The final third of the book is a practical how-to manual for "selling" your ideas using the contemporary sales ABC's (attunement, buoyancy, clarity), with six modern elevator-pitch outlines. Verdict This title should be of interest to anyone who is not a professional salesperson but who wishes to communicate and convince more effectively.

Lebanon, New Hampshire - January 19, 2010
A second team of medical personnel from Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center will depart Tuesday for Haiti.
A team of nurses will leave this afternoon as part of the relief efforts. Last week, a team of nine doctors and nurses headed to the country that was rocked by an earthquake. The team is working at a small hospital about 40 miles outside Port-au-Prince.
The death toll is now estimated at 200,000.
The folks from Dartmouth-Hitchcock are not the only locals helping out the Haiti relief effort.
Two young girls from Burlington spent their day off from school Monday raising money to send to Haiti. They spent five hours selling hot cider on Pearl Street.
Sabine Maloney says she and her mother came up with the idea as a project for Martin Luther King Day.
"Because there's an earthquake millions of lives have died. Lots of people have died and people need our help really badly because some people can't find other people to help them out," said her friend Mariposa.
The girls say the sold around 60 cups of cider and raised about $100.

text: Arizona clearly wants out of the number 5 pick, throw in our second rounder, I think they'd happily move down to 13 and take whatever quarterback falls. What do you guys think, give up a second rounder to get possibly the best CB in the draft in over a decade? This move would definitely sure up the defensive backfield with Peterson, Phonz and Houston. But is it worth sacrificing the depth for the future, and possibly a linebacker with the second round pick.

As Lent draws to a close, our Lenten abstinence does as well. We have only two more Fridays (today and Good Friday) before Easter 2014. But if you have enjoyed the Lent recipes that I have featured here over the past several weeks, why not use them throughout the year, to fulfill your obligation to practice a form of penance on Fridays?
For today's Lent recipes, we leave Europe, but we don't leave the Old World entirely behind. You will find some overlap between Spanish Lent recipes and Mexican ones, but the Mexican recipes for Lent offered by Chelsie Kenyon, the Expert at About Mexican Food, may look a bit more familiar. Many staples of Mexican restaurants in the United States, such as cheese enchiladas, chile rellenos, and chilaquiles, make perfect Lenten foods. But Chelsea also includes some delicious side dishes and wonderful desserts—for those of us who haven't given up dessert for Lent!
You can find Chelsie's recipes, as well as recipes from other About Food Experts, in Lenten Recipes: Meatless Recipes for Lent and Throughout the Year.

CHATTANOOGA (WRCB) -- Hot-hitting Yasiel Puig is the headliner, but he's hardly the only high-rated Los Angeles Dodger prospect Chattanooga baseball fans will get to see in 2013.
The Lookouts returned to AT&T Field Tuesday for their annual media day and exhibition game with Chattanooga State, and they did so with a talent-rich roster across the board.
"We've got talented players in the field. We've got talented arms, so the pitching staff is solid. And we've got Yasiel Puig," said new manager Jody Reed. "Who knows what you're going to see on any given day at the ballpark, and to me that's exciting."
Puig may be a surprise addition at the Double-A level considering his numbers.
The 22-year-old Cuban born outfielder led the Cactus League in hitting (.517) while piling up three homers, five doubles and 11 RBI in 27 spring training games.
He enters the season ranked as the No. 2 overall prospect in the Dodgers' organization by Baseball America, so far living up to the seven-year, $42 million contract he signed last summer.
"He was with the big league club and just tore spring training up," said Lookouts' hitting coach Orv Franchuk. "The big-league coaches and player development people I worked with at spring training were just speechless. They've never seen anything like him."
But Puig, who went 2-for-3 with two infield singles and two RBi in Tuesday's 5-4 exhibition win, is far from the only big name in Chattanooga.
The Lookouts' roster boasts six of the top ten players in the Dodgers' system, including five of the top seven.
No. 4 prospect Joc Pederson was LA's minor league player of the year in 2012 after hitting .313 with 18 home runs and 70 RBI at Single-A Rancho Cucamonga. He'll start in centerfield between Puig and returning slugger Blake Smith.
Returning pitcher Zach Lee is ranked No. 5 in the organization by Baseball America, while fellow starters Chris Reed and Onelki Garcia are Nos. 6 and 7. Another returning starting pitcher, Matt Magill at No. 9, is in the top ten.
"You're not going to win every game, but our goal is to get into the playoffs and obviously try to win it all," said Pederson, who went 1-for-3 with a double in Tuesday's exhibition game. "The talent on this team is unbelievable, so I think we all feel really lucky to have the opportunity to play together."
Chattanooga was the North Division's second-half champ last season, but was swept by Tennessee in the opening round of the Southern League postseason.
The 2013 campaign officially opens at 7:15 p.m. ET Thursday night when the Lookouts host Huntsville at AT&T Field.

It may be a sign of masochism, but I like finding new ways to break software builds. A recent article by one of the LLVM developers had this gem:
While some developers are disciplined and build with "-Wall -Wextra" (for example), many people don't know about these flags or don't bother to pass them. Turning more warnings on by default catches more bugs more of the time.
This one tidbit from a larger series entitled What Every C Programmer Should Know About Undefined Behavior.

Weeks after Rebekah Brooks resigned as CEO of News International, it appears that she may still be on Rupert Murdoch's payroll.
A report published in The Telegraph Saturday indicated that Brooks would continue to get a paycheck from the media mogul for at least the next year.
"My understanding is that Rupert has told her to travel the world on him for a year and then he will find a job for her when the scandal has died down," a source told The Telegraph's Tim Walker.
Blogger "Dephormation," writing on No DPI, found that Brooks continues to be listed as director of News International.
By law, News International would have had to notify Companies House before July 29 if Brooks had resigned on July 15 as reported.
"Rebekah Brooks resigned as CEO of the company on 15th July 2011," a News International spokeswoman told The Guardian Monday. "The process for her to resign as a director of the Company is currently underway and will be filed at Companies House shortly."
But when asked if Brooks would continue to be paid by Murdoch as she travels the world for a year, her personal publicist at Bell Pottinger declined to respond.
"We're offering no comment on your query regarding Rebekah," Bell Pottinger's Steve Double told Walker.

Me and my girlfriend have been dating now for 2.5 years, and there is no way that I can believe that she is cheating on me. She is the love of my life, and I would give anything up for her (I've been with quite a few women and have never felt this way about anyone else). We live in different cities that are 1.5 hours away, and I see her about every weekend (She also has her mother's house that's an hour away in the other direction).
My girlfriends best friend says that she's cheating on me
I called her up on Christmas Eve to say hi, and she answered the phone but was completely hammered; her best friend gets the phone from her and proceeded to tell me that she has been cheating on me for a long time, and that she (the best friend) couldn't stand by and watch. The best friend said that she was cheating on me (commitment issues from her dad cheating on her mom) in both places and gave details that somewhat matched up to things that I know. The best friend says that my girlfriend has said to her that she wants a guy in her home town, and that I am just not "it." I literally can not believe that she could do this to me; she means everything in the world to me, she's the woman that I wanted to marry and have kids with, and as far as I can tell loves me. I need hard substantial evidence for me to believe.
I've devised a plan to have the best friend call me, and then call my girlfriend (three-way call) while my phone is on mute and listen to the conversation for the best friend to try and coax some type of admission of any unfaithfulness. If found unfaithful, I will break up with her immediately, but nothing I say will point back to the best friend.
My question is: What do you guys think of this plan? Can anyone think of anything else that would help prove to me that she is doing this (I've accused her of cheating in the past and have given her windows to tell me the truth, but she won't admit anything).
One more important detail is that after about two hours on the phone with her best friend (she was using her own phone at this point), said afterwards that she wanted what me and my girlfriend had (as far as my side of the relationship) and wanted to come see me a couple of days later. She is the only one that has said anything about my girl cheating on me.
Should I look for other means (other friends) to find out? Or should I go with my original plan of the three-way call?
Thanks in advance.

I wonder how many of you knew about the tent cities in forests all around this area inhabited by homeless people? I know I didn't until watching the 4-part series this week by News Seven's Ashlee Surles. It was a riveting story…in many ways reminiscent of the hobo jungles of the Great Depression. So often it is all too easy to dismiss the homeless as people who are just too lazy to work or people too weak to overcome addictions or perhaps mentally unstable. Certainly not people like you…or I. It's simply too disconcerting to think that but for circumstances beyond one's control, a bit of bad luck or a few bad choices…or the Grace of God, we could be one of those people. If there is one thing that's certain it is the fact that none of us know what life may bring. Granted, some are in that condition by their own doing. But others have stories that would bring the best of us to our knees. Certainly, those profiled in Ashlee's series should make us all stop and think…and when possible and appropriate—lend a helping hand.
I'm Jim Cameron. Let us know what you think.

Armadillos, sloths, and anteaters (Xenarthra) are notable for the unique joints in their backbone that provide them with the strength and support they need to dig and burrow. Armadillos, sloths, and anteaters have few or no teeth and a small brain.
Xenarthra are an ancient group of placental mammals that once roamed across Gondwanaland before the continents of the southern hemisphere separated into their present-day configuration. When Gondwanaland divided, it split up to form South America, Africa, India, Arabia, New Zealand, and Australia. Xenarthra were initially isolated on the continent of South America but have since spread northward into areas of Central America and southern parts of North America.
Though xenarthran populations were absent from Africa, Asia, and Australia, these regions contain unrelated species that evolved to resemble xenarthrans. Similar environmental conditions in these distant parts of the world resulted in species that, although unrelated, adapted in a similar manner and as a result resemble each other in some ways. This evolutionary dynamic is known as convergent evolution.
Examples of species that display convergent evolution with the xenarthrans include the aardvark (Africa), the pangolin (Africa and SE Asia), and the spiny anteater (Australia). These animals all have genetically different ancestors than the xenarthrans and consequently belong to different orders than the xenartrhans, yet they have evolved similar characteristics.
