Yahoo! Rises on Earnings Beat, Reduced Alibaba Sale
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Yahoo! (YHOO) shares rose 0.9% to $33.69 after the Internet giant posted results that beat Wall Street expectations.
For the third-quarter, Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Yahoo! reported earnings of 34 cents a share on $1.081 billion in revenue, as search revenue excluding traffic acquisition costs (TAC) rose 3% year-over-year to $426 million.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected Yahoo! to earn 33 cents a share on $1.08 billion in revenue for the third quarter.
Yahoo! will hold an earnings livestream at 5 p.m. EST to discuss the results."I'm very pleased with our execution, especially as we've continued to invest in and strengthen our core business," said Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer. "In Q3, we launched new user experiences across many of our digital daily habits -- Yahoo Screen, My Yahoo, Fantasy Sports, and more. Now with more than 800 million monthly users on Yahoo -- up 20 percent over the past 15 months -- we're achieving meaningful increases in user engagement and traffic." Display revenue ex-TAC fell 7% year over year to $421 million, despite the number of ads being sold (excluding Korea) increasing 1% over the same time frame. The company said the price-per-ad, a key advertising metric, fell 7% year over year. In addition to the earnings, Yahoo! announced it had entered into an amended agreement with Alibaba, of which it owns 24%. It will now sell 208 million shares during the upcoming Alibaba IPO, down from 261.5 million. During the quarter, Alibaba and Yahoo! Japan, of which Yahoo! owns 35%, contributed $233 million in earnings to Yahoo! Yahoo! ended the quarter with $3.2 billion in cash and cash equivalents, down from $6 billion at the end of 2012. The company used $1.685 billion during the quarter for buybacks, purchasing 59 million shares. It also used $163 million during the quarter for acquisitions. "In Q3, we generated free cash flow of $249 million and returned an additional $1.7 billion to shareholders through buybacks," said Ken Goldman, Yahoo!'s CFO. "As we exit Q3, we are extremely pleased with the strength of our balance sheet, with nearly $3.2 billion in cash and securities, and we are well positioned with ample liquidity to fund our future investments for growth." For the fourth quarter, Yahoo! expects revenue to between $1.18 billion and $1.22 billion, with non-GAAP operating income expected to be between $240 million and $260 million. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expect revenue excluding TAC to be $1.25 billion. Shares of Yahoo! closed lower in Tuesday trading, off 1.8% to finish at $33.38. -- Written by Chris Ciaccia in New York >Contact by Email. Follow @Chris_Ciaccia

UPDATED, Friday 3 p.m. ET
As the death toll rises in Japan following today's 8.9 earthquake, the effects on travelers are reaching across the Pacific.
In a travel alert issued this morning, U.S. State Department "strongly urges U.S. citizens to avoid tourism and non-essential travel to Japan" through April 1 and notes that "Tokyo airports are currently closed; other airports in Japan may be closed or have restricted access. Public transportation, including trains and subways are closed in the Tokyo area, and service has been interrupted in other areas. Many roads have been damaged in the Tokyo area and in northern Japan. Strong aftershocks are likely for weeks following a strong earthquake such as this one." Those concerned about a specific US citizen in the tsunami zone outside of Japan should email email@example.com. US citizens affected by the Japan earthquake and tsunami and needing help can email@example.com.
BBC Travel reports that Google has created a 2011 Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami crisis resource center with emergency phone numbers, a person finder tool and updated public transportation information (in Japanese).
According to media reports, the quake and subsequent tsunami forced Tokyo Disneyland to close with thousands of tourists still inside the park. The parking lot was reportedly destroyed, preventing tourists from leaving.
The Disney Blog says there were no injuries and only minor structural damage as 69,000 guests were evacuated to safe areas within the park and provided with supplies and temporary shelter.

Preliminary reports from Hawaii, where residents and tourists were evacuated and roads and airports closed in advance of a quake-spawned tsunami, indicated a 6-foot surge on Kahalui, Maui . Waves about 3 feet high were recorded on Oahu and Kauai, and water rushed ashore in Honolulu, swamping the beach in Waikiki and surging over a break wall in the world-famous resort but stopping short of the area's high-rise hotels, the AP says. Honolulu's mayor issued an "all clear" for Oahu. and the Hawaii visitors bureau reports it is "rapidly bcoming business as usual across the state."
On the West Coast, evacuations were ordered in parts of Washington and Oregon, and California officials closed beaches in advance of small waves that reached the California coast by 8 a.m. PT, the Los Angeles Times reports. In Crescent City, Calif., near the Oregon border, officials say the tsunami has killed one person, swept three others out to sea and caused severe damage to the harbor. However, the waves have not gone over the harbor's 20-foot break wall, and no serious injuries or home damage have been reported.
In Santa Cruz, south of San Francisco, it was a good day for surfing before the water pulled out of Monterey Bay toward the Pacific Ocean when the tsunami hit around 8:10 a.m.. Within seconds, the AP says, the water dropped by about 9 feet as the harbor turned into a river and water was sucked out to sea.
Surfers who had been paddling on their boards were able to walk with them on the wet sand. Others stayed in water, despite warnings from lifeguards to come in. A couple of boats broke loose and part of a dock was also pulled away during one of several surges, each of which took about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, Chile, Colombia, Peru and Ecuador put communities and ports on their Pacific coasts on tsunami alerts, Bloomberg reports.
Coastal areas of Easter Island, a popular tourist destination in Chile, will be evacuated today and LAN Airlines has suspended flights. Waves generated by the Japan quake may reach the island, about 2,100 miles off the Chilean coast, about 6 p.m. ET and the mainland about 9:30 p.m. Schools and government offices on the Chilean mainland, where an 8.8 quake struck a year ago last month, will remain open, TVN said.

Updated Chumby One connects you and your widgets in style
Remember Chumby, that padded Internet-connected 320 x 240-pixel screen that looked like it belonged in a converted van from the '70s? A lot has happened in the two years since Chumby was introduced. Now it's updated for the current era, dubbed the Chumby One, and still carefully loading connected widgets that'll bring you YouTube videos, weather and news, RSS feeds, and our favorite, Pandora music.
A welcome improvement is Chumby One's faster processor: 454MHz of cool power compared to its slightly slower predecessor. While some might dislike its clean lines and sky-blue highlight, we're digging it. If you can wait a few weeks until it's released, it might be worth the $100 to have the alarm clock of the future that shows you so much more.

How does a Earthquake happen and the earth go off it's axis Look at Job 9;5-6 yes God makes earthquakes and moves the earth off its axis or out of it's place this happens in Isaiah 13;13 as well at the end of time
Photograph from Jiji Press/AFP/Getty Images
Published March 15, 2011
The magnitude 9.0 earthquake that struck Japan last Friday was powerful enough to shorten Earth's day by 1.8 microseconds and throw an extra 6.7 inches (17 centimeters) into the planet's wobble, scientists say.
(See 20 unforgettable pictures from the Japan earthquake and tsunami.)
That doesn't mean shockwaves from the event somehow knocked Earth off its north-south axis, around which the planet revolves.
Instead the quake shifted what's called Earth's figure axis, an imaginary line around which the world's mass is balanced, about 33 feet (10 meters) from the north-south axis.
Earth naturally wobbles slightly as it spins, because shifting surface mass such as melting glaciers and moving ocean currents can throw the planet off balance.
Data from high-precision GPS instruments show that parts of Japan shifted by as much as 13 feet (4 meters) as the fault plates lurched due to the earthquake. This allowed scientists to calculate how much Earth's overall mass distribution had shifted and thus how much the wobble was affected.
The shifting mass also affected the planet's spin rate, according to geophysicist Richard Gross, of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. He compares what happened to a figure skater pulling her arms closer to her body, causing her to spin faster.
Because Earth is big, the effect is tiny—a microsecond is only a millionth of a second. For most of us, Gross said, "it has no real practical consequence."
Researchers are more intrigued by the change in Earth's wobble, which could inform future space missions, and the data collected on small earthquakes leading up to the main event, which may help with earthquake prediction.
Japan Earthquake Data "Unbelievably Good"
Similar changes to Earth's mass distribution were calculated from GPS data obtained during the 2004 Sumatra earthquake and the 2010 Chile earthquake. In the case of Sumatra, the change in the length of the day was larger: 6.8 microseconds.
But for the Japan earthquake, the change in Earth's wobble was more than twice as large as those calculated for the 2004 and 2010 events.
That's exciting, Gross said, because the wobble is large enough that scientists might actually be able to measure it, not just calculate it, by looking for small changes to Earth's tilt.
Still, since other factors also redistribute mass in the form of air and water, random changes to Earth's wobble might mask the effect of the earthquake.
(Related: "Japan Battles to Avert Nuclear Power Plant Disaster.")
Other geophysicists say that there are even more exciting things that can be done with the GPS data from the Japan earthquake.
For example, Japanese GPS instruments, strain meters, and seismometers recorded dozens of smaller quakes leading up to the main event, said Ken Hudnut, a geophysicist at the U.S. Geological Survey's Pasadena office.
Scientists poring over the data will be trying to figure out if there was anything unusual in the prior earthquakes that might have indicated they were foreshocks to a bigger event, rather than more ordinary tectonic rumblings.
(Also see "Japan Earthquake Not the 'Big One'?")
"The question is, did the GPS or strain meters show a precursor," Hudnut said. "Because if they did, it will revolutionize earthquake research forever."
In Sumatra, Hudnut added, the GPS data was "pretty good." In Chile it was "much better," and for Japan, the positioning and nature of the instruments made the data "unbelievably good."
"We may not get another data set like this until I don't know when. Here, we have a monster earthquake not too far offshore, and GPS instruments along the coast," he said.
"So much of what scientists do is about getting the right instruments in the right position to record some natural phenomenon, so we can understand it better. If there was anything precursory associated with those foreshocks, it should have been seen on that array of instruments."
(Related: "Major Earthquake Due to Hit Southern California, Study Says.")
Earth's wobble calculations aren't relevant to this particular quest, NASA's Gross said, but they are more than just a curiosity. Understanding Earth's spin movement is critical in space launches, for instance.
"When we navigate spacecraft to land a rover on Mars, we have to be able to account for changes in the Earth's rotation in order to [launch so that we] precisely land the rover where we want to," he said. "If we didn't, we might miss Mars altogether."
How does a Earthquake happen and the earth go off it's axis Look at Job 9;5-6 yes God makes earthquakes and moves the earth off its axis or out of it's place this happens in Isaiah 13;13 as well at the end of time
can the wobble be seen from one new moon to the next ?
how much is the wobble and how much can be seen to understand it
I truly believe All the abnormal crazy weather we are seeing is due to the tsunami that hit Japan in 2011 and knocked Earth of it's axis and is causing it to now Wobble. this pattern is going to be the "New Norm"

Q. A customer claims that brightener and grain refiner concentrations in a plating bath will affect the solderability of the plated surface. In our case, we are talking about nickel deposited from a nickel sulfamate bath. W.N.
A. The most important factor concerning solderability of nickel is oxidation of the nickel surface. Nickel surfaces oxidize (passivate) fairly readily. The amount of oxidation increases the longer the delay between the nickel plating step and the soldering process. The greater the amount of oxidation, the more difficult to solder.
If you have your brightener and grain refiner under control, there shouldn't be any affect on solderability. However, there is no reason why a nickel sulfamate has to be run with organic additives unless a bright appearance is required. Other factors may also be at play here. Rinsing methods, handling and storage methods, and even weather conditions can affect the solderability of the nickel plate.

Then edit a user in the interface, change something and click on save.
Thanks, I'll try it in a second. But, I don't have webmin, and nothing else was accessing the group file. It's like it vanished when ISPConfig was editing it.
One other thing started happening after this - the /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf doesn't get updated automatically. A file is created like this: Vhosts_ispconfig.conf_21-04-08_22-56-09, and it has current data inside, but the "Vhosts_ispconfig.conf" doesn't get replaced. What's the problem?

A big hello to everyone from Pittsfield, IL. Those of us who are blessed to live here in Pike Co. IL certainly appreciate the opportunities we have to kill monster bucks. I like to hunt alone, have my own land, and the mounts on the walls prove I don't need advice. So why can't I just hunt deer in peace. Why does "Buckmasters" have to call and harass me all the time when I tell them I'm not interrested in their "elite club"? Today I get a collection notice from them saying I owe some sort of "subscription"? Can anyone reading this explain to me why we should hand over our hard earned money to people who go on guided hunts? How did this company come into being and what service do they provide? I wonder how much money they have made from using the dirty tactics they are trying on me.

now this is always a topic here,
listn its all your own dang fault. First off they had to get your phone number or e-mail or name address social security etc from somewhere.
ive suscribed to magazines and etc and dont get this problem so, what box did you X to cause this.
you know everyone used to complain about the home mail order music cd things, they sent me a cd i didnt want and now they expect me to pay, yea well there was a little box on all those forms that would read, if you do not want this months featured new CD, for who eva Band, check the NO box. If you dont check NO then they send it to you with the discounted bill for taking the months advertised crap.
yea some how you gave some telemarketer your info, and selected the you must be crazy section. at the end of the month when they need to make there personal quota in order to keep there job or get a bonus etc, yea then they call 6 times and every other idiot who didnt select the no soliciting box and or etc.
even stores try to get you number and or address. i tell them no, they stand there like huh. NO, No you cant have my zip code e-mail and or phone number. they ring you up just the same with or without your zip code etc.

New York, NY- This Saturday night, the eyes of the combative sports world will be focused on the highly anticipated return of global superstar Manny Pacquiao's attempt to prove he's still got the "goods" in a highly intriguing affair of consequence.
After being floored in emphatic and dramatic fashion in his last bout (more on that subject later), multidivisional champion Manny "Pac Man" Pacquiao (54-5-2, 38 KOs) looks for redemption when he faces durable rugged former champion Brandon 'Bam Bam" Rios (31-1-1, 23 KOs) over 12 or less rounds of welterweight (147) pound at the Cotai Arena Venetian Resort in Macao, China. Televised coverage begins at 9:00 PM ET on HBO PPV.
Since his "coming out party" massacre against Marco Antonio Barrera (W TKO 11), Boxing Writers Association of America's "Fighter of the Decade" Manny Pacquiao is the first boxer in history to win a staggering eight world titles in eight different weight divisions. Considering the level of opposition he has faced: thrice scrapping with Erik Morales (L UD 12, W TKO 10, W KO 3), four times going to war against Juan Manuel Marquez (D 12, W UD 12, W SD 12, L KO 6), and by pounding out one sided drummings over world renowned pugilists such as Oscar De La Hoya (W TKO 8), Ricky Hatton (W KO 2), Miguel Cotto (W TKO 11), Joshua Clottey (W UD 12), Antonio Margarito (W UD 12), and Shane Mosley (W UD 12), Manny's ring endeavors have proven to be credible accolades in support of his status as an all-time great and living legend. And yes, even factoring in his last two losing efforts: (a horridly scored 12 round controversial points loss to Timothy Bradley followed by a brutal knockout defeat against Juan Manuel Marquez), rest assured; Pacquiao still has cemented his legacy as Hall of Famer regardless of those aforementioned current mishaps.
Many of "Pac's" victims have been systematically broken down by "master" trainer Freddie Roach's pre fight observations. Roach's fight plans consist of strategies and tactics which are usually executed with relative ease by Pacquiao resulting in victory for the Filipino phenomenon. During such conquests, Manny has shown his own brilliant ring intellect by displaying an ability to control a foe by making an opponent fight his type of fight. On the contrary, (as seen in the early rounds against Cotto, and also in the mid rounds with Marquez); Manny (on occasion), can get caught up in the heat of the moment, become distracted, deviate from his predetermined fight plot (but to his credit, more often then not); make the adjustments necessary to beat his opponent at their own game. Nonetheless, Pacquiao's style is a unique hybrid of aggressively fast paced boxing accompanied with sound defense. In consideration of his overall attributes of speed, power, movement, and genius boxing IQ, (at his best) Manny Pacquiao may not only be the game's most complete fighter, he may be the most dangerous. Albeit, as suggested by several commendable media outlets in regard to his involvement in movies, music, religion, politics, and the mental state he may be in after administering such a savage knockout in his last encounter; Manny may be "burning the candle at both ends" and is possibly losing some focus toward his commitment in the "hurt business" that is boxing.
Possessing a highly entertaining "TV friendly style" equipped with a controversial personality, and by turning the "lights out" of 7 of his last 10 commendable opponents; youthful power punching charge Brandon Rios has dazzled his audience and has given fight fans some memorable nights at the fights. This observation was even more evident in his last 2 "balls to the wall" epic wars against seasoned former belt holder Mike Alvarado. In a scintillating showcase of human perseverance; Rio's stopped Alvarado via 7th round TKO. However, the second tilt saw a more poised craftsman in Alvarado who tamed (what appeared to be) a clueless bull in Rios handing Brandon his first professional loss. Hence, success for Rios on Saturday night at the "big show" against a formidable opponent such as Pacquiao is a "must" and would certainly galvanize his career and command major notoriety for him in the upper stratosphere of the sport.
As seen in a recent tiff getting chastised in between rounds by his decorated trainer Roberto Garcia for being strafed by too many shots, (being the tremendously motivated and defiant individual that he is); Rios responded with, Quote: "I fucking love this shit". Bottom line: Brandon has an exceptionally charismatic personally and that charisma is even more pronounced when he laces up the gloves for duty. This kind of willingness and joy to be battered and absorb punishment accompanied with the solid stubborn skill set he has in his arsenal makes "Bam Bam" a very dangerous hybrid of problems for anyone he faces. In other words he's got the "Hell code" in him folks, meaning: he's a dude that tries to take you to Hell and if need be; he's willing to go there with you and is well aware that only one of you will make it out. The "Hell code" is a rare trait not found by many in the difficult sport of boxing, but is a necessary quality to have and great card to play if needed at any level.
When I hafta equate an "all-time great" who was recently humbled by a catastrophic set back standing opposite of a promising "up and comer" who is just one fight abandoned from a first loss: pain, war, hunger, and carnage are just a few words that come to mind that convey an obvious formula for success in an epic crossroads meeting. From a tactical stand point, I favor Brandon's youthfully spirited conventional style to trump a very complaisant version of Manny with some nice over hand right leads (a very powerful asset for a "righty" against a "south paw") and KO Manny sometime around the 9th in an awesome display of give and take.

Brandan Rios is the youngest person I've ever seen have brain damage from boxing. I mean he's in his 20's and sounds barely more comprehensible than James Toney. That being said, it's
A ballsy call to pick someone who was outboxed by Alvarado over arguably the best p4p fighter in the world. I guess we'll find out next week.
You find Rios exceptionally charismatic? Kid is a foul mouthed asshole; I hope Pacquiao beats his ass. Rios is going to have a HUGE size advantage.
I genuinely worry about Rios health in this fight, I have watched Manny since he first started fighting in the US and I can tell you this, he is one of the hardest punchers the welterweight division has ever seen. That along with his blinding speed and cat like foot work will translate to a severely beaten Rios by Rd 6, I just hope that the powers that be will keep an eye on Rios for Rios sake. Here is to a great battle with both fighters making through the fight safely.

Boxing Fan for almost 50 yrs.
To say Manny is a complete fighter is ridiculous. Manny has no defense. His defense strictly relies on his offense. Yes he has good head movement but that is about it. He darts in and out throwing punches. That is his main defense, and as you seen in his last fight it got him KOd. Manny is an offensive machine, he is no complete fighter. His offense is what wins him his fights. Plain and simple. There is a reason why he has come out of every fight looking beat up. And now they are saying this will be a success if they sell about 750 thousand PPVs. How far has his brand dropped?
If you listen closely to Rios talking during the training camp of Margarito vs Pacman and him talking now – even in this short period of time you can hear a difference in his speech. Him being not even 30 this is pretty frightening. Beside his foul mouth he seems to be a nice guy. Someone should tell him to pull the plug sooner than later (it its not already too late). Actually Garcia should be well aware of this situation.
Top Rank set up fight. Rios is a robot like Margarito he will be beaten to a pulp. Arum made this fight for the retards who will scream that Manny will KO Mayweather. Sounds familiar?
Pac like a sabretooth tiger, is getting long in the tooth. lots of wars.Lots of milage. but what stacks against him the most is that brutal knockout he suffered in his last fight. brandon rios brings it and wont lay down. anyone that thinks this is a gimme fight for pac is off their rocker. wouldnt be surprised if bam bam serves up the upset special. but IF pac comes back in deadly form and isnt a shell of himself, i expect a tko corner stoppage around 9…
"There is a reason why he has come out of every fight looking beat up"
This fights going to be a real tear up! There has to be MAD TENSION between the camps after Ariza front kicks Freddy Roach in the mid section!
Look, there are instances in which I shut my mouth because I realize this could create confrontation. Everything pointing to a "fat" "puffy" looking Manny to get hammered into retirement.
Man, fuck Alex Ariza, the Garcia brothers and FUCK Rios. You are a straight up asshole if you are rooting for Brandon "dumb ass" Rios. That kind of reaction from Ariza is straight up bullshit.
Ariza is a punk..Did you see how he pushed that one guy on HIS OWN SIDE to try and provoke more ish? I would've slapped his punkass for that if he did that to me and I was backing his ass up..No need to taunt a man with Parkinson's by doing those gestures…actually, it seemed like Brandon kept his composure very well…
1200 and Tommyrenob,
No, Roach is the Punk, he clearly provokes the whole incident. I suggest people watch with video that has the whole incident. Garcia being interviewed, and Roach walking up and demanding things. Roach started the insults when he called Garcia a "Piece of S###", and yes, Ariza took the bait, got involved, and it escalated. Roach is the one who goes towards Ariza saying; "Make me leave." After Ariza tells him to get the f### out. I don't condone Ariza kicking him, or mocking his disease, but to think Roach is the victim here is absurd. Roach gets racial as well, and that is not called for. Imagine the crap Pedro would get if he called Pac a "F'n Pinoy"? He'd get 3 times the amount of hate he gets from the Pac fans.
SKERGE – the gang mentality on display of those Rios douchebags is F******* BULL***T. They would shit tneir pants if they had to filex w/out any of their bros or cameras around. It's cowardice and it is bullshit. You see Roach w/a posse of dick heads in front of and behind him? BULLS*IT.
Whats your prediction pedro? you've eluded that picking someone like rios is a mistake and that pac should have picked an easy tune up.
skerge: lets put things in perspective my man. if pedro had parkinson's and somebody had previously made fun of it, i wouldn't blame him if he easily got heated when someone was on his own time allotted and said "30 more minutes" with disregard to timeframes previously agreed upon…I wouldnt be mad at pedro for saying you filipino Mf'er when theres a past history of these guys making fun of his disease and which you can see they were starting to do again…i would be bashing those pinoys…
yeah roach was wrong and busted a nutty a little to quick, but to get KICKED by a bigger younger man when everyone could plainly see roach was no threat to Ariza, thats some b!tch ish…ariza,like roach obviously held a mad grudge against roach and ariza was trying to be tough guy…the worst is he pushed his OWN guy like saying "get him", with disregard to his own guy..thats another b!tch move…anyways..to much press on these childish things…i liked how rios and pac handled it…
what do you think about this fight?? you plan on watching it??
Seems like you already had an opinion of the Rios "posse" before they altercation began. Have you seen the video that clearly shows Garcia being interviewed and Roach walking up demanding they leave? Garcia explains what the delay was, and Roach goes off and tells them to, "Get the F### out." When Garcia says they aren't leaving, "Roach calls him a piece of S###." Then Ariza and Co. tell Roach to "leave" (not in a nice way either). Roach then says, "Make me leave", and steps to Ariza. You do that to a cop, and you'll be eating pavement real quick. Again, not excusing Ariza, but Roach provoked the incident. Roach then went racial on the whole group. Roach was clearly trying to "punk" them with the cameras rolling. He could have been more diplomatic, because the camps have to share the facility, but he chose not to. That, my friend, is Bullspit. Roach should have been more professional. You should look at the full footage, before you pass judgement.
Skerge – point taken. However, Freddie is over 50 years old w/Parkinson's. I think we can give him a bit of a pass for this indiscretion, no?
I maintain, F*** those guys coming at Freddie; you condone them beating up dads and grandads too?
The discussion becomes circular at this point, but I maintain those guys are sheep w/out their "posse" (and cameras) to flex in front of.
Excuse me, they should have kicked Roach's ass for getting in their space. He initiated everything! All the MEDS he is on seem to have made him delusional.
Let's put things in perspective now that more facts are known. Fact is Top Rank scheduled the interview that cut into Team Rios time. Fact, it was 11:03 when Roach confronts Garcia. Fact, Pac man didn't even show up to the gym until 1pm, clearly at the end of HIS allotted time. So, if Pac shows up at 1pm, does he still get to train, being that the "agreed" (your word) time was 11 to 1pm for Pac? Be careful how you answer, it might betray you. Fact, Roach made demands, and began with the insults. Fact, Team Rios apologized for the past mocking, and Roach accepted the apology. How is it cool for Roach to get offended, when he was the one who confronts Garcia, and is the one who initiates the insults? So what you are saying is that he gets a "pass" because he has a disease? Roach is the jerk for starting the whole thing. In NO WAY, am I defending Ariza, totally out of line to kick Roach, mock his disease, and use a homophobic slur. But, if you know anything about personal space, Roach was clearly the aggressor.
Yes, Pac and Rios handled it with class and some humor. I will skip watching live and catch a replay, unless I get an invite. The outcome of this fight means nothing in the big picture, as Arum already knows Pac will win, and will have him fight Provo next. Arum says a Floyd fight can happen next year, but Arum says a lot of things, then says he was lying, but now is telling the truth. The longer it goes, the more it will wear on Pac (in the long run), but I still think Pac by decision or late stoppage. I won't be surprised if Pac gets stopped or is beat up too.
Are you serious? Roach gets a pass for using racial slurs and instigating a fight because he has Parkinson's and is 50? What else can he get a pass for then? A jerk is a jerk period Umm, think you need to watch again, Freddy moves towards them first. If my dad or grandpa started a fight and were acting like jerks, maybe they need their ass kicked. You know what happens to people who keep getting passes to do crappy things to people? They end up like Incognito, and think it's done out of "love". Be part of the solution.
Skerge: I concede that Roach was acting like a crochety old man. I don't think he ever let go of team Garcia mocking him. I work with people with special needs so I am very aware of how frustrating it can be for somebody who has a speech impediment from getting your message across. COnsider this though:
Read the transcript and watch the video and hear Robert Garcia's Tone and NOTICE the disrespectful, disregarding way he dismisses Roach's request. Things escalate when they yell at him GTFOH and it's pretty easy to distinguish the tone in Roach's voice repeating "Make me leave!" in a childish manner, thinking in his head that he was right (in fact, based on the principle of who's TURN it was to use the gym, he's RIGHT! It was Rios' team that had to leave!)
Roach was already being disrespected because 30 more minutes cut into team pacs training time and trainers ALWAYS want some kind of upper hand for their team. Everyone knows this.
Roach WAS wrong for being crochety and immediately calling R. Garcia a POS..no excuse in that.
But examine the part where Roach gets stuck like a child, saying "make me leave! make me leave!" when he approaches Ariza, it DID NOT look like he was going to assault anybody. You mention personal space but tell me. Did it look to you Freddy was going to assault Ariza?
Pedro: Sorry sir, but you are WRONG if you think THEY should have kicked his ass based on how he acted! He acted childish, no doubt, but tHe man is over 50 with Parkinsons and DID NOT look like he was going to strike! No doubt he acted like a pissy old man, but consider how frustrating it is to communicate when you have a speech impediment and how rapidly things got heated.
Here's a link with the transcript:
why did you say he initiated everything when the Rios Camp had exhausted their time at the gym and it is PacMan's time to use the gym? They are infringing on PacMan's camp time. They should be humble enough to ask for an extension. That kick by that ungrateful Ariza to Roach was the lowest class of act a man can do to his former boss.
Justin Fortune, a former Roach assitant, weighed in on the situation over at Maxboxing:
His assessment is basically team Rios is in the wrong and they are bitches and cowards.
Pedro, I respect and value your opinion, but you are wrong.
No need to read the transcript, I've seen the complete video footage that begins with the Garcia interview, and Roach walking up. Garcia did not have a "bad" tone when he dismisses the request to leave. He states his reason for going over the allotted time and says he isn't going to leave. You didn't answer my question though. If it's OK for Roach to get "pissy" because Team Rios is over the allotted time and are acting "unprofessional", what does it say about Pac if he showed up at the end of his allotted time. Again, Roach had no reason to try to get them to leave, because Pac wasn't even there. Answer the question Tech, if Pac shows up at 1pm, does he still get to train, being that the "agreed" (your word) time was 11 to 1pm? Just so you remember, Pac didn't show up until 1pm. What does Roach have to complain about? Is it OK for Garcia to be all Time Cop, and say, "Pac can't practice because his time is from 11 to 1pm." In other words, Roach made an issue of a non-issue, because Pac wasn't even there. It doesn't matter if Roach looked like he was going to assault Ariza, you can not violate someone's personal space. You don't get in someone's face, because by doing so, it is a type of assault. Why do you continue to give Roach a pass because of his age and illness? I also worked with people with special needs, and all they wanted was for people to treat them as equals, and not feel pity for them. If a guy with a speech impediment attacked your mom, I'd bet you wouldn't give 1 thought about it and just commence to beating him down. Roach started the whole thing.
Pac wasn't even there, and he didn't arrive until 1pm, which is the time he is supposed to be finished. I guess it's OK for someone to toss him (Pac) out too then, right? Or does the demi-god Pac get to infringe on other people's time?
Umm, yeah, Fortune is obviously impartial here. I'd bet he's a real King Solomon on this issue. Sounds like he still has the riod rage.
*Roid rage
Skerge: Freddy Roach was a crochety old man in this situation. I saw the whole video and idk why,I can't find it anymore on the net. The way they bend over for team pac is NOT on a level playing field sometimes and roach plays on it every chance he gets. Alls Im saying is Ariza took doucherie on a whole new level! If you dont agree thats cool. But if it happened in context of the way it happened to ANY old man with parkinsons getting kicked and i dont care if there last name is mayweather, juneweather, or julyweather, there is no need to go there! i'll repeat, roach DID NOT look like he was going to physically assault or even get close to ariza. That did not need to escalate the way it did. I agree with Justin Fortune. That would have not went down if he was there cause Ariza is the type of dude that just starts sh!T when hes with others.By himself he aint no tough guy. Just look at pretty much the camps he was involved in prior to pac. Why was Garcia Leary of Ariza from the gate? Because its a known fact Ariza clashed with other teams he was a part of, BEFORE he came to roach!
Finally what does a person with a speech impediment attacking my mom have to do with anything?lol
When did I NOT agree that Ariza is a f'n Douche Bag? Take the Pac blinders off. You said it yourself, Roach takes advantage, period The point is, Roach escalated the situation, no, HE started the whole thing in the first place. Who the F cares what Fortune said. Sometimes I wonder if you really read my posts man, it's really frustrating that you do not pay attention to what I write. Roach had NO business talking smack, because PAC wasn't there and didn't get there until 1pm. I used the "attacking your mom", as an example of not giving a rat's ass if someone had a disability attacking your mom. No one would care if the person was disabled, they'd just commence whipping butt to stick up for their mom. BTW, fight was as expected.

OK, so we already know that online advertising spending in 2009 is likely to be lower than 2008, but where exactly will companies funnel their ad dollars?
According to Forrester, if you're in the mobile marketing or paid social media space, the glass is either half-empty or half-full.
It's a half-empty kind of world, if you consider that these two verticals are currently under-funded by companies of all sizes. It's a half-full world, if you take the view that there's plenty of growth left in these areas–and companies appear to be ready to invest in them over the next 12 months.
So, where does that leave email and search marketing? Are we close to topping out?

It's 2006: Major Rebecca Gordon, a highly trained trauma surgeon, and Captain Bobby Trang, a brand-new doctor, report for duty at the NATO Role 3 Multinational Medical Unit at Kandahar Airfield, the only advanced surgical care hospital in Southern Afghanistan. Perched at the edge of the airfield, built out of plywood and canvas held together with duct tape, the temporary building that houses the Role 3 shakes every time a plane takes off. The hospital's commander, Colonel Xavier Marks, tells the newcomers to expect an experience unlike any they've had before. Rebecca thinks she can handle anything, while Bobby's acutely conscious of his inexperience. They both get off to a rocky start: it's humbling for both of them as Colonel Marks points out Rebecca's mistakes and tries to build Bobby's confidence. But over the next 48 hours, as they deal with rocket attacks, falling shrapnel and wave after wave of wounded U.S. Marines, Canadian soldiers, Afghan civilians and even a Taliban prisoner-they manage to rise to the challenge, even as they grow more and more exhausted. Welcome to Kandahar.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
There were parts of this book that I really enjoyed. In the latter chapters, the action picked up and Dickens did a great job of keeping the intensity up and leading the reader along, something I imagine would be especially important for a book published in episodes.
I also liked how innocent Oliver was, always trying to do the right thing despite the circumstances. He seemed a little too good to be true, but I liked him so much, I didn't mind that he was a bit unbelievable. He just had so much spirit.
One thing I don't quite understand in a lot of these 19th-century books is how easily people fall ill. Emotional strain or just a walk in the cold can put them into fits or lay them low with a life-threatening fever. Were people back then really that delicate, or were the pathogens present in 19th-century London just so dangerous and ready to pounce that people were always a head cold away from death? What were these mysterious fevers people were always getting?
The most unpleasant part about the book is Dickens's insistence on referring to Fagin primarily as "The Jew". According to the notes at the end of my version, Dickens responded to critics who claimed his portrayal of Fagin was anti-Semitic by saying that at the time the story took place, most of those in Fagin's line of work were Jews. I don't know if this is true or not, but the way that he calls him "The Jew" at least as often as he calls him by name suggests that he's actually saying he's in that line of work because he's Jewish, which is a very different thing than just saying he's in that line of work and happens to be Jewish.
In addition, there's a scene in which Oliver sees Fagin and shouts, "The Jew! The Jew!" It seemed strange to me that Oliver would have referred to him like that because I thought other characters generally referred to Fagin by name, and Oliver would have done the same.
And then there's the way that Dickens time and again describes Fagin in ways that suggest he's less than human, like in chapter 47 when Dickens says that Fagin "disclosed among his toothless gums a few such fangs as should have been a dog's or rat's." I don't recall Dickens comparing other non-Jewish characters to animals in this way.
I also considered the possibility that Dickens was just writing about Fagin as the culture at the time would have seen him, but I could buy this notion a lot better if these nasty things were said only by other characters in the story, but by and large, it's not other characters who are saying these things; it's our narrator (whom I read as Dickens). All of this suggests to me that Dickens's portrayal of Fagin wasn't merely a reflection of the demographics of a particular type of criminal in London at that time but truly was (and is) anti-Semitic.
But aside from this admittedly very large part of the book, I enjoyed the story. I nearly always enjoy Dickens's dark storytelling and psychologically tormented characters, and I find the female characters in his book refreshingly strong-willed (refreshing because not every strong-willed woman is punished for it (though most of them are)).
There were certain points in the story where I found it hard to follow what was going on. I found the ending especially confusing. But other than that, I enjoyed the story. I plan on watching a couple movie renditions to see if I can better understand what was going on.
I was a late convert to Charles Dickens. Having recently read and greatly enjoyed Dickens's Great Expectations, David Copperfield and A Tale of Two Cities, I elected to purchase several other of his works. Oliver Twist was the first of these novels that I read, and sadly found to be not up to the standards of the three works cited above.
Many have seen the musical Oliver and other are certainly familiar with the story and many of the characters (Fagin, Bill Sykes and the Artful Dodger). Oliver became an orphan soon after birth and found himself in the tragic, hopeless life that met such destitute characters in Victorian England. After finally escaping from an abusive apprenticeship, he finds himself bounced back and forth between the mean streets of London (under the control of Fagin and Sykes) and the tender mercies of upper class patrons who take pity upon his condition (both physical and financial).
Having read several Dickens works prior to this one, I was aware that a period of acclimation is required before becoming comfortable with both the language and the cultural landscape, however the comfort that I eventually attained in the previous novels was more difficult to come by here. Deep into the book I found myself having a problem following some of the prose. Most frustrating, at the key point in the narrative where "all is explained", I was at great pains to understand much of what was being related.
In addition, the book is very predictable and strains credibility in several instances. Quite simply, this is by far the weakest of the Dickens books I have sampled to date.
Six-word review: Deservedly classic tale of orphan's survival.
Extended review:
Despite its verbosity, sentimentality, and exaggerated characterizations, how can you not love this book? Like a dog at your feet, it's there to be loved. What else are you going to do with it?
It also turns out to be much more satirical than I ever realized. Social commentary, yes, expected; but satire? I didn't know. For example:
Mr. Bumble...had a decided propensity for bullying: derived no inconsiderable pleasure from the exercise of petty cruelty; and, consequently, was (it is needless to say) a coward. This is by no means a disparagement to his character; for many official personages, who are held in high respect and admiration, are the victims of similar infirmities. The remark is made, indeed, rather in his favour than otherwise, and with a view of impressing the reader with a just sense of his qualifications for office.
Dickens misses no opportunity to underscore the social ills of his time and place and to distribute ample helpings of blame freely up and down the social scale. He also holds us captive with a story that keeps us reading and soaking up his message.
So here they all are, the characters we know so well in so many incarnations, embedded as they are in the cultures of the English-speaking world and probably well beyond: the ever-so-good good guys: tender, mistreated Oliver; kindly, open-hearted Mr. Brownlow; sweet, sweet Rose, so impossibly angelic that it's a wonder she doesn't suffocate of her own virtue; and poor brave, doomed Nancy, without whom nothing could have turned out right; and the bad guys, not one of whom is without at least some small spark of sympathetic humanity to argue for redemption: sadistic Mr. Bumble; cocky Artful Dodger; unregenerate, duplicitous Fagin; mysterious, menacing Monks; and cruel, brutal Bill Sikes, a monster who comes to a fitting end that yet inspires horror.
Of the rambling story with its odd, protracted word-count-stretching digressions and amazing coincidences I have no comment to add to the immense body of commentary on the literature of Dickens: but to say that the story is brightest in single scenes and episodes, with the long arc serving mainly to string those together. It's in those vignettes that the brilliance of Dickens' characterization is displayed, and that, indeed, is why we fall in love.
Yet another Dickens down. The 1001 list is cram full of them. Twist is bit like Pride & Prejudice; a lot of us know the storyline but have never actually read the novel. Well, now I have. So there.
I was quite surprised at how different the novel was from what I remember having seen it in various film and theatre versions. There's a lot more focus on Oliver himself and less on his peers (e.g. the Artful Dodger) than I thought there would be. And he spends far less time in the hands of criminals than I expected too. But these issues could just be caused by my faulty memory of what I've seen.
The storyline is pretty fast-paced, making it, unlike other Dickens on the list you might pick up, a pretty quick read. But it's not as gripping as some others because this, being Dickens' second novel, doesn't have characters that are as fleshed out and intriguing as later efforts by the genius.
It's the first time that he gets his teeth into the social and class issues that would be a major theme of his work and you can see the genesis of later characters such as the also orphaned Pip from Great Expectations. The plot however, is a little contrived with a few too many coincidences for my comfort.
On the whole, if you've read works such as that which are far longer and far more detailed, Twist will probably disappoint. It's great characters probably owe more to later visual depictions of them in film and on stage than from the novel itself. This is a very good novel mostly due to the foundation it laid for greater works, but it's not as good as one might perhaps expect it to be.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0141439742, Paperback)
The story of the orphan Oliver, who runs away from the workhouse only to be taken in by a den of thieves, shocked readers when it was first published. Dickens's tale of childhood innocence beset by evil depicts the dark criminal underworld of a London peopled by vivid and memorable characters—the arch-villain Fagin, the artful Dodger, the menacing Bill Sikes and the prostitute Nancy. Combining elements of Gothic Romance, the Newgate Novel and popular melodrama, Dickens created an entirely new kind of fiction, scathing in its indictment of a cruel society, and pervaded by an unforgettable sense of threat and mystery.

Scathing in its indictment of a cruel society and pervaded by a sense of threat and mystery, this novel is peopled with some of the most famous characters in literature.

Coach's Comments
The point total and place may not make this look true, but this was a huge improvement over our performance at the conference relay meet. After not scoring a point at the conference relay meet, the biggest goal was to load up our sprint relays. Against some very good competition, they came up big. I give these kids a lot of credit for bearing down and getting better. The second goal was to try some individuals in some other events. This also proved a success for Michael Lewis in the 100 and Joe Weirich in the long jump. Those were pleasant surprises. Although he did not score any points, Joe Denk also had a good meet by running a 55.19 in the 400 and coming back int he 4x400 relay with the same time. Sean Anstett had a PR in the shot put as well. The team is improving and moving in the right direction. For that I am proud of them.

Coach's Comments
Well, I can't say this was one of our better meets. Because a relay meet is a total team event, we approached it as such and have to assess our performance as such. So, while we had some very nice individual performances, as a group we were not mentally sharp for this one. After having a relatively good meet at Marquette last Saturday, I certainly didn't see it coming. I knew we were lacking some depth, but our kids have been real fighters this year. The outdoor season has been kind of funny with all of the cancellations, but we won't use that as an excuse for poor handoffs or less than full effort. We just have to be better than that.
The good news is that we were only out of 4th place by 14.5 points. We could have easily made that up with a little bit more concentration on the task at hand. We discussed this after the meet and agreed to all take a look in the mirror - coaches included - to figure out what more we could do to help the team succeed. It must have hit home because our practices were very crisp the rest of the week. I guess that doesn't surprise me. They're still fighters and the experience has helped them come together as a team. I'm looking forward to a big end of the year now that we've had this great learning experience.

Coach's Comments
It may not look like it from the score, but this was a great meet in a number of ways. First, it was great to finally have some decent weather so we could have an outdoor meet. After not competing for several weeks, the athletes finally had a chance to see how much they have improved over that time. They've been working hard and have been doing a great job keeping a positive attitude, but its nice to actually get to be able to get out there and really push it against other teams. Second, we were able to bring along a few underclassmen to participate in this meet. Those freshmen and sophomores handled themselves quite well and got an opportunity to see what a high profile meet like this is like. Hopefully, they'll bring it back to the rest of the team and help bring them along for the ride. We have a very talented group of underclassmen who should continue to improve. They have the potential to be very good if they keep working hard. Third, we all know we could have done much better if we had everyone for this meet and had really loaded up our lineup. We were missing some of our athletes due to state music competition. Also, with conference relays on Tuesday, we did not put some of our athletes in the maximum number of events. We will do that on Tuesday and expect some very good performances on that day.

Coaches Comments
We finished up our indoor season once again going against some of the best competition in the state. Michael Lewis showed that he was up to the challenge scoring all of our points against a very tough field in the long and triple jumps. He did this despite not having quite as much "pop" as he had last week due to tougher workouts. This was actually supposed to be a week in which we backed off in our workouts to allow the athletes time for their legs to recover after four weeks of building up. However, last week's weather forced us to back off last week while this week's weather was more conducive to some hard workouts outdoors. As a result, all of our athletes had "heavy" legs. Its a good sign that Mike was able to still jump so well and our 4x200 was able to achieve the best time so far this year. They all have a lot more in them. We still have quite a bit of hard work to do, but its going in the right direction. We are all excited to get outside next week and really open things up.

Considering we had only scored 3 points in our last two Saturday meets, scoring 45 points was a huge step forward. With four of our athletes missing due to the ACT, we were still able to compete favorably with the teams from our conference. I'm very proud of the effort put forth so far this year from this team. They continue to scratch and claw for points and don't back down from anyone. They have been extrememly competitive and are really starting to believe in themselves. We have a long way to go and can still improve in a number of areas, but this last meet was extrememly encouraging and a definite boost to our confidence.

Although Park runs this as a JV and Varsity meet, we treat it primarily as a JV meet and move a few athletes up to test them against varsity competition. We were pleased to be able to score any points at all on the varsity level. On top of it, some of our JV's performed at a level that would have scored points at the varsity meet. That is very encouraging.

Coach's Comments
Outside of the state meet, this is probably the stiffest competition that our athletes will see all year. Michael Lewis did a great job in the long jump. His best jump was actually closer to 22 feet, but he scratched. That would have put him right with the best long jumpers in the state which is actually his second best event. He has yet to triple jump and show his real potential. Michael Burkett just missed at 5'10" which would have been a personal record. He was actually over the bar and sitting on the mat. The bar was teetering for a second and then fell. Its early and I expect him to make that without a problem in the near future. The 4x200 relay is on the cusp of moving up as they have just missed out on scoring in two consecutive really tough meets. Success is just around the corner for them.
Waht a lot of people don't realize is that we have a lot of young athletes that are developing right now. We also have some seniors that have never been out for track before who have talent, but lack experience. The most important thing right now is that we keep improving. Its will be baby steps at first, but as long as they believe in themselves and the workout plan, the improvement will come in bigger steps as the year progresses. Right now, they're working very hard and that's what matters the most.

Coaches Comments
We are excited and pleased to be back at it for another season of Rocket track and field. Returning this year to our coaching staff we have Paul Hiegel in the distances, Keino Turner in the jumps, and John Riggins in the hurdles. I am coaching the throwers this year while coaches Turner and Riggins are sharing the duties in the sprints. We currently have 62 boys on our roster so our total numbers are holding steady from previous years. Our numbers at the freshman level are a bit low this year at 17. Normally we have between 20 and 30. If any freshmen are still thinking of joining the team, its not too late to come out. Its a great way to get in shape and be a part of a great team atmosphere.
Despite the point totals, we consider the first two meets as successful. Our goal for these early meets are very simple: Learn how to prepare yourself to compete in track and field. This means that each athlete develops the proper routines for warm-up, competition, and cool-down at a track meet. I have been very pleased with this group in the way they have handled themselves so far this year. They are starting out on the right foot to ensure the greatest possible level of success at the end of the year. With that goal in mind, we do not set our lineups at this time to score the most number of points, but rather to get as much experience as possible.
I am particularly pleased with our how some of our seniors have led the group so far. Joe Weirich (sprints), Sean Anstett (throws), and Michael Lewis (jumps) have been outstanding in that aspect so far. I have also been pleased with some of our new comers. Senior, Shane Wickert looks like he is going to be a great asset to our team in his first year of track. Junior Jake Rozenberg and sophomore Kirk Severson have looked good in the hurdles as has senior Rudy Betancourt. Sophomore, Isaiah Rodriguez is also new to the sport and did quite well at the Cudahy meet. We expect big things out of him. While our distance squad lacks some depth, Junior Alex Flanagan and Sophomore Josh Roszak put in a lot of work in the off-season and have looked good so far.
Our challenge this year will be to develop some depth and increase our strength and conditioning levels throughout the season. If we work hard in practice and continue improving in our preparation for meets, we will be a much better team at the end of the year than we are right now. That seems to be the pattern over the years with our team. If that's the case this year, then we'll have a successful year.

That looks amazing and I always try to use shallots in recipes it adds such a nice flavor!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! And I totally agree about the shallots...they are way tastier than other onions so I usually swap them into my recipes!Delete
I make at least one soup recipe a week!! They are insanely easy and make so much food. I always have left overs in the freezer!ReplyDelete
Yes, soups are truly the best when it comes to having tons of portions leftover! It's great for a not-so-talented chef like me since it means I don't have to spend as much time in the kitchen.Delete
Thanks for visiting The Sequin Notebook! We LOVE hearing from you, and we respond to every comment :)

Caring for the Caregiver
Well-meaning friends and relatives may say to those caring for a loved one with a serious illness that "God doesn't give you more than you can handle." But you do not have to handle it alone. Caregiving can be relentless, exhausting and overwhelming. For sole caregivers, there can be a sense of loneliness and isolation. People often assume that palliative […]Read More

Portland, Oregon
Old woman cleans up her neighborhood, finds an award-winning novel
"The book was born the morning I looked out and saw the squiggles, words and a couple of red and blue phalluses desecrating the corner mailbox under my window," Barney recalls. "I was furious. My neighborhood, my sense of peace had been violated." For the next year Barney walked the streets of NW Portland, schlepping a shopping bag filled with spray, scrapers and rags as she attacked the tags and graffiti blooming on the mail receptacles lining her streets.
When someone walking by asked, "Why? They just keep doing it." Barney began her usual rant about "midnight artists," but she realized that she did not have an answer for a few of her own questions: Why did graffiti make her so angry? Why did kids armed with spray cans and pens leave their marks on public spaces? And who were these kids, in the first place?
Research online and in the nearby park, its benches resting places for transients, resulted a thriller, Graffiti Grandma, the story of a cranky old woman, a runaway girl, a damaged policeman, a band of homeless teenagers, and a five-year-old who grows up to terrorize all of them.
Publishers Weekly gave the book a starred review: "Barney weaves a multifaceted narrative with quick shift in time and focus to show how flawed individuals overcome, or are destroyed by, failed relationships. (October 2013)
Kirkus Reviews in its starred review: "Ostensibly about a serial killer, Barney's novel is about much more than that. It's also the story of people who are down but not out and a rumination on family, courage and responsibility--a book that reverberates long after the last page. A gripping book with compelling characters who don't want your pity. (2013)
