Westchester baseball wins state crown
Westchester Country Day School proved why it's been ranked No. 1 all season.
Behind very strong performances offensively and defensively, the Wildcats rocked Rocky Mount Academy 14-4 on Saturday afternoon to complete the two-game sweep of the NCISAA 2A baseball championship series and win their second-straight title.
"This is something that definitely doesn't get old," Westchester coach Joey Hammond said, dripping with ice water dumped over him moments earlier. "It just feels awesome, and I'm so proud of these guys. This is really cool."
The Wildcats (23-6), the tournament's top seed, hit the ball exceptionally well all game. They had 15 hits — including three home runs — and scored at least one run in every inning. Even after they fell behind in the first inning, they continued to hit well.
Micah Hedgepeth hit a key two-run bomb to straightaway center field in the third to give Westchester a 5-4 lead. Myles Sowell then hit a two-run blast to left in the fifth, and Luke Puckett followed with a three-run shot to right in the seventh.
"See a fastball, hit it," said Sowell, a junior who celebrated his 18th birthday by going 3 for 4, of the team's approach at the plate. "That's it. We saw a lot of curveballs. So, when you get your pitch, you've got to kill it — square it up."
Tyler Marion struggled a bit pitching to start, allowing four runs on three hits and three walks. But he settled in over the next five innings, scattering three hits and one walk, and finished with seven strikeouts — including all three outs in the sixth.
Donnie Sellers came on to finish off the win, getting a line-driveto right-center for the final out. Center fielder Markel Johnson caught it on the run, setting off a jubilant team celebration on the infield grass as a light rain fell from the overcast sky.
"This year, it's that much more special because we're here at home," said Johnson, a senior who has signed with Appalachian State. "This is where it started, and this is where it ended. It's been a great pleasure to be a part of this program."
Hedgepeth finished with two hits and three RBIs for Westchester while Johnson and Marion each finished with two hits, including a double, and an RBI. Nate Blakeney also had two hits and an RBI.
Adam Bayless took the loss in 3 1/3 innings for the Eagles (20-4), the tournament's No. 2 seed. Linwood Jones had two hits while, in the first inning, Chandler Clontz drove in two and Trey Medlin later added another to lead 4-2.
But the Wildcats, who also got an RBI from Adam Kirkman, scored one in the second, two in the third, single runs in the fourth and fifth, then three in the sixth and four in the seventh to take full control of the game.
"This is definitely the most mentally tough group I've ever been associated with," Hammond said. "Part of that is that they can have damage control and don't panic, and it certainly helps to have a guy like Marion on the mound. …
"It's really no difference in our approach all year long. Give their guys credit — they grind, they battle, they don't quit. Fortunately for us, we don't either, and our ability and talent came through."

Spy Shots: AM General Humvee prototype caught!
Though normally hiding in bushes and waiting for the next-gen Mustang or Corvette Blue Devil to pass by, Brenda Priddy and pals sometimes spy things not meant for public consumption. They recently photographed a new AM General HUMVEE prototype that will be competing for the military's Future Tactical Truck System (FTTS) contract, which will produce the replacement for the current Humvee, of which some 140,000 are still in active service. Though prototypes from Lockheed Martin and other military contractors will also be submitted, this is AM General's bid to keep the Humvee in the game.
Follow the jump for more details and Priddy's own analysis of the vehicle that's aided by her consult with some military experts, and check out the high-res pics in our gallery below.
[Photos: Brenda Priddy & Co.]
According to Priddy, the prototype Humvee sports a completely revised front end that is clearly larger than the current model's. It's thought that the new hood will allow for the repackaging of the intake system and relocation of the cooling system from the top of the motor to the front. Speaking of the motor, the "GEP No. 7" printed under the door is likely a reference to General Engine Products, one of AM General's subsidiaries that supplies the engines for Humvees. This prototype probably has a new version of GEP's 6.5L diesel with a big bump in power over the old model. It's also rumoured the powertrain will include a hybrid electric to improve fuel economy, as well.
Also notice the prototype cab, specifically the bare metal that indicates AM General is designing this new truck with a "blast tub" that will protect occupants from explosives, specifically rocket propelled grenades and IEDs. It also appears that the prototype has a significantly higher ground clearance than the current model – 22.5 inches compared to 16 inches – and much larger wheels. Other items of note include larger air drop rings on the hood, which imply an increase in the vehicle's curb weight, and the ballast weight placed in the prototype's bed, another indication that this next-gen Humvee will be able carrier heavier loads.
HUMVEE (AM General) PROTOTYPE!
FTTS (Future Tactical Truck System)
Although I am not an expert in military Humvees, I sought out the advice from people who were. And where this might look like any other Humvee found in and around military bases, we've been told that this is actually a prototype.
Read a composit of what my sources explained:
While AM General's Humvee is a legendary military vehicle, the company has found themselves shut out of the Army's Tank and Automotive Command prototype competition for the FTTS (Future Tactical Truck System) that will replace the aging Humvee. However this development vehicle clearly shows AM General will still be making bid to replace the roughly 140,000 Humvees already in service in the U.S. Military. AM General will face stiff competition for the FTTS contracts from companies such as Lockheed Martin, Force Protection Inc. and Navistar's military business division.
The first noticeable change is the revised hood, which may or may not be the final design. The new hood is designed to accommodate the repackaging of the intake system as well as the cooling system being moved from above the motor to in front of the motor. I believe that's the radiator showing through the grill openings.
The "GEP No. 7" painted under the door is a reference to General Engine Products (a subsidiary of AM General.) We believe the motor underneath the ungainly hood is a revised version of the 6.5L diesel motor made by GEP. It's rumored that this motor has seen a significant jump in power due to improvements in the injection system as well as an improved combustion chamber design. Additionally, we believe a hybrid electric powertrain has been added to the big diesel motor to help with fuel economy and electricity generation.
The cab has clearly been revised and armored with a heavier construction. AM General is likely utilizing a "blast tub" design where the vehicle as a whole might not survive a blast, but the occupants inside the armored "tub" would survive. The use of reactive armor panels are also possible with the new vehicle. When hit with a projectile, reactive panels explode outward, deflecting the projectile. These panels are significantly lighter than conventional steel and are particularly effective against rocket propelled grenades.
According to our tape measure, the ground clearance has increased to an astonishing number. While the current Humvee sports a 16 inch ground clearance, we measured this prototype's clearance at around 22.5 inches. Another impressive number on this vehicle shows up on the tires. A massive set of Goodyear 335/65R 22.5 tires adorns this test vehicle. The 22.5 inch wheels are held together with no less than 18 bolts and then attached to the vehicle with 8 more lugs. We weren't able to tell if a central tire inflation system was in place.
The last change we noticed were the larger, beefier air drop rings peeking through the hood. This seems to indicate the new vehicle will weigh more. The ballast weight we saw in the back of this test car also seem to indicate that this new military vehicle will be setup to traverse the battlefield with heavier loads.

Ready 2 Grow: Creating a healthy food system through media, movement and fun
DETROIT — The East Michigan Environmental Action Council's Ready 2 Grow program will be hosting a variety of workshops this June. Featuring workshops ranging in topic from plant harvesting to media skill shares, the central focus of all the events will be on achieving health through a healthy food system.
As Ready 2 Grow Program Coordinator Lottie Spady states, "We recognize that access to healthy food and education around healthy food choices and nutrition are part of the issue, but if we don't consider the psychology of choice, the role that food plays in social structure and culture, and the ways in which advertising and media influence attitudes, behaviors and beliefs, we will not create the type of systemic change that will positively impact existing health disparities in children and families."
The first workshop, Ready to Grow Media, on June 13 will focus on a media skill share. Past classes have focused on how media has been shaped by cultural values and social systems throughout history as well as label reading, where participants dissected the advertising on food products to better understand what the actual ingredients were and how they might conflict with a healthy food system.
The workshop Ready to Grow Movement on June 27 will encourage parents to get moving, de-stress and build positive supportive relationships with each other.
The final workshop, Ready to Grow Family Fun, on June 29 will teach the benefits of sunflowers to the earth. "Sunflowers can aid in remediation of soil; they can pull metals out of the soil," explains Program Educator Sanaa Nia Joy.
"In Detroit, there are many vacant lots and places where industry waste is part of the landscape. Sunflowers could be planted to beautify and help remediate the soil there."
Participants will make sunflower butter and take it home after the session, along with sunflower seeds to plant. They will also taste dishes that feature sunflower seeds and sprouts.
All workshops will be held from 6-8 p.m. at The Cass Corridor Commons, located at 4605 Cass Ave. Child care is available with advance notice, and a light, healthy meal will be provided.
In addition, Ready 2 Grow hosts monthly parent/caregiver/educator group meetings, weekly in-school environmental and food justice education classes, gardening, outdoor exercise, nature-based outings, food media literacy and instruction in community-produced media.
"One of the challenges we address in the Ready 2 Grow program is helping children like fresh vegetables," Joy says. "Through the outdoor classroom on the school grounds, we grow herbs, tomatoes and other vegetables. When children help to grow food, they are more likely to eat fresh, healthy food."
The hope of the program is that by building a strong community on a foundation of holistic health, community members will find the support they need to become producers within the food system, not just consumers.
"We are creating safe spaces for parents and youth to try new foods, make their own media messages, demystify the farm bill and other food policy, manage daily stressors with tools such as exercise and nourish themselves within framework of justice," Spady says. "This will ultimately empower participants to co-create solutions to food injustices and take an active role in the long-term health of the community."
EMEAC is a partner in the Child Health Incubator Research Project (CHIRP), which is supported by a grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture Childhood Obesity Prevention Program.

Bluegrass Lessons - Teach yourself bluegrass jamming, bluegrass guitar, banjo, fiddle, dobro, mandolin and bass fiddle.
How should I learn to play bluegrass guitar, bluegrass banjo or bluegrass mandolin? Or any other bluegrass instrument, such as bluegrass fiddle, bluegrass bass fiddle or bluegrass dobro? What is bluegrass music style and how do I learn it?
If You're Searching For The Widest Selection and Lowest Prices For Bluegrass Tabs and Sheet Music, Search No More:

Bluegrass Fiddle Tabs and Sheet Music
Mandolin Tabs, Chords and Sheet Music

Learn to Play the Bass Fiddle
People learn to play bluegrass music in different ways. Some folks are able to pick up a banjo, mandolin or guitar and find their way around the instrument without much help. They seem to be able to learn by "playing by ear." Those minority of people have a great musical gift. But most of us are not that fortunate.
Most of us who want to learn to bluegrass guitar, bluegrass banjo, bluegrass fiddle or any other bluegrass instrument need help. Well, fortunately, there is lots of help out there for folks like us. Assuming you've already got your instrument, you're already to go. Where should you start?
First, you might find a teacher. If you can find an affordable teacher, that's great. But don't sign up for bluegrass banjo or bluegrass fiddle lessons unless the teacher can play bluegrass music and teach it well. There are a lots of part-time "teachers" out there offering lessons and, while they might be adequate for starters, they are unlikely to be able to teach you how to play great bluegrass banjo, guitar or mandolin solos, or how to play as part of a bluegrass band. Make sure your teacher demonstrates his or her ability and style of playing before you agree to pay for lessons.
Second, you might use an instruction book. Most bluegrass music instruction books are written with tablature (tab) notation. Tablature (Tab) is a system of symbols telling you where to fret notes to get sounds. Many people find that tablature is the most natural medium for bluegrass music notation, as it is a very effective way of telling you where to put down your left hand fingers and of indicating basic timing. Tab is written for those whose "musical thinking" is in terms of licks and finger positions.
Tab has also become something of an obsession in bluegrass music, as the sources for bluegrass music tablature are endless. And, so Tab books come with CDs that you can listen to so you can actually hear what the music is supposed to sound like. Yet, while some folks love tablature, others find it difficult.
So, third, you might try using instructional bluegrass DVD's, tapes and videos. Since learning from a bluegrass tablature book is difficult for some, bluegrass music lesson DVDs and videotapes are also very popular. Whether you are trying to learn to play bluegrass fiddle, banjo or guitar, it may be easier for you when watch a professional do things the right way. Most importantly, since bluegrass DVDs and videotapes let you hear what the music is supposed to sound like as well as see the left hand finger positioning and the right hand technique, it can be a very effective way to learn how to play your bluegrass instrument. Take the time to find bluegrass lesson DVDs or videos for your particular instrument, whether you play bluegrass guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin or dobro. Then, as long as you feel comfortable with the learning process, the only thing standing between you and bluegrass jamming is practice.
Once you've learned the basics, it doesn't take much to get your skills up to jam-quality caliber. Remember that bluegrass music is meant to played in a band, with several instruments providing rhythm while another instrument takes the solo break. In order to properly jam with others, you should be well-versed in the rhythm and lead fundamentals of your bluegrass instrument. For a good intro to bluegrass jamming, read An Introduction to Bluegrass Jamming by Tom Barnwell. For a funnier take on jamming etiquette, read the Ten Commandments of Jamming.
Lastly, go to bluegrass festivals, concerts, jam sessions and picking parties. Talk to other players. They will usually be very willing to help you. Play with other players whenever you can. People sometimes ask, "How long will it take me to learn?" If you stick with it, the answer is "the rest of your life." Even the best bluegrass musicians are still learning new things. Your own progress will depend on how much natural talent you have and how much time and effort you spend developing that talent. Regular practice is essential. And, if you really want to play, you will find the time to practice.
A great selection of bluegrass music instruction books (both song books and tab books) as well as DVDs and videotapes can be found right here at Bluegrass Works. When you shop through Bluegrass Works for bluegrass instrument instruction books, lesson videos or DVDs, both new or used products are available safely and conveniently through Amazon.com. Most titles are in stock and ship the same day!

Textures is great in the web design.but the color is drak too.Hope the colorful and light design.
Great collection. Thanks for sharing this.
Cracking examples of textures in backgrounds and content – I'm so impressed by all of these. It's one of quite a few things I haven't tried yet in setting out a website design; I'm working with a friend to build a portfolio site for his work, and we were wondering whether to add a hint of texture to the background. I'm jolly well tempted to push for it, now. :o)
I love the team fanny pack design. The use of the newspaper style is super creative!

Some clients requires specific and extravagant web designs on their domain when introducing their products. They are very tricky when it comes to designs and how you present it. I'm very impressed with the examples like "Mom & Popcorn" web design. vintage and down to earth. Could do a bit of adding some video stream or New CSS tricks. But overall? its very good. Thank you very much for sharing this.

Chicago nightclub cited for allowing underage Justin Bieber inside
BY JON SEIDEL AND DIANA NOVAK Staff Reporters July 11, 2013 1:23PM

A Chicago nightclub has been cited for allowing the 19-year-old pop star Justin Bieber inside the 21-and-over establishment.
A spokeswoman for the city's Department of Business Affairs & Consumer Protection confirmed that police issued a ticket to Bodi Chicago onWednesday for admittedly and knowingly having underage persons in the establishment.
If a hearing officer finds the club in the 800 block of North Orleans liable, the typical fine is $1,000.
A person who answered the phone but would not give his name confirmed that Justin Bieber was at the club on Tuesday after his United Center concert.
The club issued a statement that said Bieber made a brief appearance to support a friend who is a DJ and was performing at the nightclub. It said Bieber was not served alcohol. "Neither Justin nor anyone affiliated with Bodi broke any laws," the statement said. "We believe this matter amounts to a simple misunderstanding with local police officers."
Bieber's spokeswoman declined to comment.
Kammy McClurg, of Edgewater, tweeted about the pop star's appearance that night and said the club probably should be cited because it made the decision to let him in. But she also said the celebrity could be a draw.
"It might be worth the citation," McClurg said.
The pricey nightclub offers bottle service, including a magnum of Grey Goose vodka for $600, according to its website.

Bone homeostasis requires precise balance between deposition of new bone by osteoblasts and resorption of old bone by osteoclasts. Bone diseases, including osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis, are the result of increased osteoclast activity and formation, which allows bone resorption to outpace deposition. In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Brendan Boyce and colleagues at the University of Rochester evaluated the role of TNF receptor-associated receptor 3 (TRAF3) in promoting osteoclast formation. Mice lacking TRAF3 in osteoclast precursor cells had mild osteoporosis that was associated with increased osteoclast formation. The authors found that chloroquine treatment increased TRAF3 in osteoclast precursor cells and limited osteoclast generation. Furthermore, treatment of mouse models of osteoporosis with chloroquine inhibited osteoclast formation. These studies implicate that therapies aimed at increasing TRAF3 in osteoclast precursor cells may limit bone loss for those with bone diseases.

Our History
Pompano Beach is nearing the 100th anniversary of its incorporation. It is the second oldest city in Broward County, and the fifth oldest in all of South Florida. Only Key West, West Palm Beach, Miami and Dania Beach became municipalities earlier than Pompano (the "Beach" came later).
Other than Key West, which by the 1820s was already an important port and city, the towns of southeast Florida came into being because of the railroad. In 1896 Henry Flagler decided to extend his Florida East Coast Railway south from West Palm Beach to Miami, opening up land that heretofore had been a virtual wilderness.
All along the rail line small settlements were established; most of them were farming communities. In the Pompano Beach area, the few hardy individuals who had arrived before the railroad, and who had settled around what is today known as Lake Santa Barbara, eventually moved farther inland where the town was growing.
Local legend has it that the name for the settlement, "Pompano," came about from a notation made on a survey map by Frank Sheen – apparently he had dined on the tasty fish and wanted to remember its name. Whether or not the story is factually true, there is no alternate account of how the name came about.
Most of the early residents, black and white, of the area came from northern Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas, although a number of blacks arrived here from the Bahamas.
Pioneer settler George Butler was appointed postmaster for the new settlement (supposedly he ran the post office from his home, out of a cigar box), and when, in 1899, the number of children in the area warranted a schoolhouse, his wife Mary was hired as the first teacher. At first the school was located near the Butler's homestead near Lettuce Lake (now Lake Santa Barbara), but by 1907 the school was relocated to a new building closer to the expanding community near the railroad tracks.
In 1900 the first general store was opened by M. Z. Cavendish at NE First Street and Flagler Avenue. Soon a small commercial district paralleled the railroad tracks and a forerunner of the Chamber of Commerce, the Pompano Board of Trade was established.
Those who populated the area were attracted by its rich soil and mild temperatures. One of the early cash crops was pineapples. Competition from Caribbean and Hawaiian pineapple growers led most farmers to switch to growing tomatoes, which turned out to be more profitable. Later, farmers discovered that beans, peppers and other winter vegetables were even more financially rewarding.
One of the reasons that the settlement was interested in becoming an incorporated town is that it could then pass ordinances and laws regulating sanitation, public safety and unsavory practices such as gambling, public intoxication and panhandling. Following Pompano's incorporation, John R. Mizell was elected to be its first mayor.
In 1908, when Pompano was incorporated, it was within Dade County. The following year Palm Beach County was created with its southern boundary being approximately at the Cypress Creek Canal. In 1915, Broward County was established with a northern boundary at the Hillsboro Canal. Thus, within eight years, Pompano had been in three counties.
Following the First World War, Florida's economy and population grow rapidly. This was the era of the Florida Land Boom and although Pompano was not affected to the extent that Fort Lauderdale or Miami was, it was not left out. New developments were platted on the beach and west of town, many of which were never built.
One boom-time development that seemed to hold great promise was a race track just southwest of town. It was an ambitious project, costing more than a million dollars. The grandstand could hold over 6,000 people (more than the population of Pompano) and there were stables for more than a thousand horses. Alas, after only a few days of racing and pari-mutuel betting, the State of Florida deemed it illegal gambling and closed it down. It was not until the 1950s that horse racing was revived at the track.
As the Boom turned into the Great Depression, Pompano received a boost from a local resident who had arrived in 1923. William L. Kester had originally come to this area for the fishing, but he stayed and became a major force in the economic and social development of Pompano.
Perhaps Kester's most lasting fame came from the rental houses he had constructed during the 1930s on the beach. These wood-frame structures, which Kester would later describe as "pepper crates," provided employment for the local workers who built them, and a means to attract tourists to the area. The sturdy, economical "Kester cottages" soon were being built throughout Pompano, to house local residents as well as winter visitors.
Kester also made his mark in Pompano by helping form the town's first Chamber of Commerce, opening the Farmers Bank of Pompano, as well as his charitable gifts, including land for a public library and for a park that would be named in his honor. Much of today's public beach was sold to the Pompano by Kester at a discounted price.
Throughout the Depression agriculture remained the economic mainstay of the community. Downtown Pompano came alive as farmers, brokers, railway agents and local residents congregated to make sure the crops got to market. Such was the level of activities, that in 1939 a new farmers market was opened just west of town along the Seaboard Airline Railroad tracks. When it opened, the Pompano State Farmers Market boasted a loading platform over 1000 feet long – supposedly the longest in the world.
World War II turned Pompano, as it did much of Florida, into an armed camp. Land northeast of town was acquired by the Federal government for an airfield that would support the big Naval Air Station at Fort Lauderdale. On the beach, blackouts were ordered and Coast Guardsmen patrolled the shoreline. Many residents were enlisted as volunteers, looking out for enemy submarines (which were very real) and aircraft (which were fanciful). Pompano sent its youth off to war, and mourned over the six servicemen who lost their lives in the conflict.
With the return of peace, South Florida entered another population explosion. In 1947 the City of Pompano merged with the newly-formed municipality on the beach and became the City of Pompano Beach. Subsequently other areas surrounding the city were annexed, although a few sought-after areas, such as Lighthouse Point and Coconut Creek, incorporated rather than join Pompano Beach.
In post-war economic growth led to the organization of the Pompano Beach Chamber of Commerce in 1948. At first the Chamber was located in a borrowed wood-frame building located at Atlantic Boulevard and NE 20th Avenue, but by mid-1949 the organization had dedicated its current headquarters at 2200 East Atlantic Boulevard.
As South Florida filled up with people, agricultural lands were turned into housing developments and golf courses. Although farming remained an important component of Pompano Beach's economy well into the 1960s, tourism, light industry and boating were becoming equally significant. Motels replaced the small cottages and vacant lands on the beach, and west of town new firms such as the Chris Craft Boat Corporation diversified employment opportunities. In 1971, the Pompano Fashion Square opened as a state-of-the-art retail indoor shopping mall.
The spectacular growth of the 1950s and 1960s came back to haunt Pompano Beach in the waning years of the twentieth century. It was becoming obvious to civic and business leaders that Pompano Beach needed a major revitalization effort. Community Redevelopment Agencies were established for the East Atlantic/Beach corridor, as well as for the old downtown and Hammondville/Martin Luther King corridor.
These are still works in progress, but with other public and private developments, they hold the promise of a new Pompano Beach. By the time Pompano Beach celebrates its Centennial in 2008, it should be clear it is a city that is remaking itself while retaining its links to the past.

Palm Polisher
By Kevin
from New Bern N.C.
I used the polisher 2 times and it broke sounded like a bunch of ball bearings inside. Called Harbour freight and they are sending another one at no charge...
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Invest in a better polisher
By dukey
from Sacramento, CA
Do not buy this polisher. This item broke after 5 mins of use. Didn't even apply any pressure on it. There's just two measly little screws that holds the pad to the motor.
By sndnd
from santee,ca.
this thing was in use a total of about 30 seconds when the polishing head came flying off and very nearly broke a window. the head uses a cheap thin head held on with wood screws into blind plastic holes that can't stand any load whatsoever. totally useless

waste of money!
By burdfrenzy
from florida
This polisher 69487 replaced polisher 90219. The 69487 does NOT include any terry cloth tie pads or a polishing bonnet. The replaced 90219 did include all of these. So you need to purchase for additional money the polishing pads. There were NO 6" pads at my HFT store and I don't think HFT carry these. So there you are.

Syllogisms, which stem from deductive reasoning, are relatively simple forms of logical argument in which a conclusion is inferred by two premises. Aristotle, who established the foundation of formal logic, was the first to create a syllogism. Syllogisms are quite simple in structure. They consist of a major premise, a minor premise, and a conclusion. Each part of a syllogism contains 2 categorical terms and the the conclusion has one term in common with each premise. Each premise, in turn, is in the form "some/all A belong to B," or "some/all A is/are [not] B," where A and B are both terms. Also, the premises and conclusion can be of four types.
|universal affirmatives
|All humans are mortal.
|universal negatives
|No humans are perfect.
|particular affirmatives
|Some humans are healthy.
|are not
|particular negatives
|Some humans are not clever.
Aristotle concluded that there was 256 syllogisms, or as Aristotle called them moods. However, out of 256 only 24 are valid. Once all of the valid moods were determined Aristotle reasoned that we could obtain information about any discipline and eventually all human knowledge in the world. However, research in this area has proven that syllogisms require lots of cognitive effort. As many as 50% or more get the validity of syllogisms wrong. People have trouble with the negatives as well as with the particulars. Also, research indicates that spatial and verbal reasoners approach syllogisms very differently. Aristotle thought that this was the way humans logically processed information. Even though this might work for simple arguments it is far too difficult to apply to more diffucult reasoning, which we perform every day.

Will Obama Go For Back-Door Gun Grabs?
By Harold Hutchison
Not even a year after the last round of negotiations, the United Nations is again trying to negotiate an Arms Trade Treaty. The NRA has been monitoring the negotiations, promising to oppose any effort to impose limits on civilian gun ownership.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon welcomed negotiators, saying, "I am confident that member states will overcome their differences and muster the political will needed to agree on this landmark treaty."
But at Big Government, a Breitbart News website, AWR Hawkins warned of a new back-door gun grab that could be coming.
"[T]he ATT contains ambiguities regarding the application of new firearm regulations and import restrictions. And this means the moment the ATT goes into effect--should it be ratified--the types of guns allowed to enter America would largely depend on each U.S. Presidential administration's opinion of what is or isn't appropriate," Hawkins wrote.
Since the last round of treaty negotiations failed, groups like Amnesty International and Oxfam have been ramping up the pressure for the United States to sign on to a treaty. In February, the American Bar Association also issued a report, claiming the treaty did not add any restrictions not already present in U.S. laws. However, Fox News reported that the IANSA, a radical anti-gun group whose American members include the Brady Campaign Against Gun Violence, has been helping African countries prepare for the treaty negotiations. In 2008, the international anti-gun group called the Supreme Court's decision in the Heller case "radical" after it invalidated Washington, D.C.'s gun ban.

Oscar Mauzy, former state senator and Supreme Court justice, had a large sign hanging on the wall of his senate office. It read, "Forgive and remember." Unfortunately, too many voters have not adopted the part about remembering. It is my belief too many voters do not necessarily forgive — they simply forget.
We have all heard the common and trite clichés that the only things that are for sure are death and taxes. For computer users, regardless of operating system or brand of computer, there is a third "truth," and that is that hard drives will eventually fail. Hard drives, regardless of brand and reputation, are electro-mechanical devices with a lot of very fast moving parts, motors and some type of electronic controller that makes it work.
Joseph Henry is an Army veteran who has worked with troubled youth through the church for the last thirteen years. He can tell you firsthand about many of the social issues that affect families and create a need for the type of outreach he does. Henry thinks the issues can be corrected a little closer to home.
It's not often that you find somebody in business having to make a comeback at the tender age of 24, but Vyki Alleman is doing just that.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event.

Caffeinated: How Our Daily Habit Helps, Hurts, and Hooks Us (Hardcover)
The additive that flows under the radar
The most popular drug in America is a white powder. No, not that powder. This is caffeine in its most essential state. And Caffeinated reveals the little-known truth about this addictive, largely unregulated drug found in coffee, energy drinks, teas, colas, chocolate, and even pain relievers.
We'll learn why caffeine has such a powerful effect on everything from boosting our mood to improving our athletic performance as well as howand whybrands such as Coca-Cola have ducked regulatory efforts for decades. We learn the differences in the various ways caffeine is delivered to the body, how it is quietly used to reinforce our buying patterns, and how it can play a role in promoting surprising health problems like obesity and anxiety.
Drawing on the latest research, Caffeinated brings us the inside perspective at the additive that Salt Sugar Fat overlooked.
About the Author
MURRAY CARPENTER has reported caffeine-related stories for the New York Times, Wired, National Geographic, NPR, and PRI's The World. He has also written for the Boston Globe, the Christian Science Monitor and other media outlets. He holds a degree in psychology from the University of Colorado and an MS in Environmental Studies from the University of Montana, and has worked as a medical lab assistant in Ohio, a cowboy in Colombia, a farmhand in Virginia, and an oil-exploring juggie" in Wyoming. He lives in Belfast, Maine.
Praise for Caffeinated: How Our Daily Habit Helps, Hurts, and Hooks Us…
"Caffeinated offers a fascinating, often disturbing look at America's favorite recreational drug. The book is another reminder that some people will do just about anything to make money--at the expense of our health."—Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation and Command and Control
"Riding a buzz clearly generated by its subject, Murray Carpenter's Caffeinated takes readers around the world on a journey that brings humanity's favorite drug to life, in all its glory and grime. You'll never think the same way about your morning cup of coffee again."—Mark McClusky, Editor, Wired.com
"Caffeinated is the entertaining, sweeping, well-researched saga of the world's most widely consumed psychoactive drug and its various delivery systems, from coffee and Coca-Cola to chocolate and energy drinks. Murray Carpenter, himself a happy addict, covers the caffeinated waterfront." --Mark Pendergrast, author of For God, Country & Coca-Cola and Uncommon Grounds
"Caffeinated is a surprising exposé of the "caffeine industrial complex," the industry that markets this substance in every form it can. This book compellingly argues that the health hazards of excessive caffeine intake need more attention and better regulation. I'm convinced. You will be too."—Marion Nestle, Professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health, New York University, and author of What to Eat
"I'm not sure if Murray Carpenter's splendid book, Caffeinated, will lead you to drink more coffee, or less. But it will certainly make you think about your next cup of joe (or tea or Red Bull) in new and startling ways. Carpenter makes a mighty mountain out of a milligram, weaving together a story of history, science, lore and slick marketing in ways that offer surprising vistas at every turn."—Wayne Curtis, author of And a Bottle of Rum
"I don't even drink coffee, but I found Caffeinated enlivening, with just the right overtones of sweet and bitter. Weaving together history, law and science, Carpenter makes a compelling case that most of us are addicted to a brilliantly marketed drug disguised as a mellow morning ritual. Fascinating, disturbing, to be savored."—Florence Williams, author of Breasts
"From unassuming Diet Cokes to the canned monstrosities chugged by college kids, caffeine seems to be in nearly everything we drink – but where does it come from, what does it do to our bodies, and why have we come to consume so much of it? In Caffeinated, Murray Carpenter gives us the answers. He traces the evolution of this habit, from idyllic highland coffee farms in Guatemala to regulations-averse Chinese factories that produce mountains of synthetic caffeine. Caffeinated distills an extraordinary reporting effort on this long-used "flavoring agent" into a captivating tale of insidious drugging that deserves shelf space alongside Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation and Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma."—Jennie Erin Smith, author of Stolen World
"The world's most popular stimulant now has a book to match. A double espresso shot of java journalism, Caffeinated brews up a masterly combination of page-turning narrative with deeply researched history and news. From professional athletes to industry insiders, from the coffee plantations of Colombia to the world's largest, most secretive caffeine manufacturing plant in the hinterlands of China, Carpenter spill the beans on America's drug of choice. More eye-opening than a case of Red Bull!"—Dan Hurley, author of Smarter

Gov. Rick Perry Speaks at Tourism Reception
Thank you Scott. (Scott Joslove, President and CEO of the Texas Hotel and Lodging Association) I appreciate each of you joining us today as we discuss the economic opportunities that can build a better Texas. And I am grateful for what you do to make tourism the 3rd largest industry in Texas.
From the Riverwalk and the Alamo in San Antonio, to the Padre Island National Seashore, to amusement parks like Schlitterbahn, Six Flags and Sea World, Texas offers a great many attractions to attract families and visitors from across the state and across the globe. And in addition, Texas has its own unique mystique, a sense of identity that people recognize and admire all over the world. Travel just about anywhere in the world, and if you say you're from Oklahoma, folks will ask "what country is that," if you say you're from Texas, they will know exactly what you are talking about, the Wild West and cowboy hats, oil wells and J.R. Ewing. So we are in a unique position as a state that attracts visitors worldwide.
Today's summit is a first step toward building a strong relationship between the state of Texas and the tourism industry. Recently, we took another important step, moving economic development and tourism functions into the governor's office, sending an unmistakable signal that we place the highest premium on jobs and economic growth in this state. These are tough times and there are few dimes to spare. But we want to know how we can do a better job of marketing Texas. One of the ways we will be seeking your feedback is through the formation of a Hotel Industry Strategic Planning Committee. My office will be working with you to designate members of this group to that committee. And we anticipate this group meeting twice a year to trade ideas on how we can better market Texas.
In 2002, travel and tourism supported 450,000 jobs and contributed directly to wage earnings of $12 billion. Travelers in Texas spent more than $41 billion and stayed a total of 314 million nights…the equivalent of every Texas household harboring a house guest 42 nights of the year. Jobs and economic growth are a core mission of my office. I ask for your help, your ideas and your partnership. Together we can build a more prosperous Texas. Thank you

I am reminded of the brands/businesses that give control of social media to interns or other very young/inexperienced employees. It is playing with fire.
Imagine taking the US Military Field Manual for Counterinsurgency, putting it into Google Translate and converting it into brand speak. The result would be Brand Resilience: Managing Risk and Recovery in a High Speed World by Jonathan R. Copulsky.
We've often heard of marketing compared to warfare, but that's old school. Now, with social media amplifying and accelerating messages, the concept of protecting your brands using counter insurgent tactics is really quite brilliant.
Think about it; Are you protecting your brand?
"Yes, I have a crisis communication plan" is not enough. Do you have a plan to protect your greatest asset, one that is built on trust and credibility?
Copulsky, CMO for the Deloitte Consulting Strategy and Operations Practice, walks readers through the process to develop a strategy that defends and offends your brand from the known and the unknown brand saboteurs.
What is the difference between marketing as warfare and marketing as counterinsurgency?
The first principle of warfare is to overwhelm your enemy. The second is to convey a sense of decisiveness and purpose. The third is to organize around well-executed campaigns. And the fourth is to plan and orchestrate their use of weaponry.
Sure that's a good plan on paper – but what about the random assaults? The unknown enemies? How do you even know if you are under attack?
Look at what happened to Domino's when it's employees made a disgusting video of them making a pizza?
What if a major athlete you sponsor (cough, Tiger Woods) crashed into a fire hydrant opening a can of worms and revealing all sort of un-role model-like behavior? It is out of your control, but it affects YOUR brand because you are a major sponsor.
What if a musician makes a video that subsequently goes viral, attacking your company for not responding appropriately to a damaged guitar complaint?
When do you respond? When do you not? How do you know if something is going to explode on the Internet? How do you know when it will fizzle if you leave it alone?
Brand Reslience outlines seven steps for managing brand risk and recovery.
First, we gain an understanding of the value of brand equity and how much we have to lose when that brand is breached.
- Identify the brand threats, aka the brand saboteurs. They can come from within your organizational borders. Your employees, top level management, even the CEO.
- Identify threats outside your borders. Your customers, vendors, anyone in your supply and/or distribution chain, activists/ideologues, competitors, and yes, your sponsored celebrities.
- Galvanize the troops. Understand how to rally your advocates.
- There is still a lot of uncertainly; we can never prepare for the unexpected fully. Copulsky makes us think about the early warning signs and try to assess if something is going to blow up or not. Should we respond to this or that? And when do you defend your position or step down and apologize and compensate.
- Understand how to repel the attacks. For example, Proctor and Gamble firmly stood their ground when they came under attack from moms who thought the new diapers were giving their babies diaper rash. They did regular testing and knew their product was not the cause of the problem. It was eventually proven to be true. I love the story of Hootsuite, who apologized to its premium customers for the Amazon server outage by and gave them credits even when the outage was completely out of their control.
- Learn and adapt your brand defenses.
- Measure and track.
There are so many factors at play today in protecting our brands. This book does a lot to make us think about putting processes in place and protecting one of the highest valued, but least protected assets in your company.
What do you do to protect your brand?
Thank you to Palgrave MacMillan for providing us a complimentary book to review. The links are not affiliates.
Nice, Lisa -- "Counterinsurgency" is about the best metaphor I've heard for this. Back in the old Michael Porter school of competitive strategy, brand protection was entirely focused on "moats" and "walls" called "barriers to entry" (things like economies of scale, product differentiation, creating switching costs, influencing government policy, etc.) We're all just too distributed and exposed now for fixed fortifications. It's a brave new world of "listening posts" and quick response tactics :)
Wow, this post hit close to home, bringing back (bad) memories of the struggles I went through when my brand was TM contested (ungrounded, unfounded, but it didn't matter in the end), and I ended up closing the company.
What did I do to protect my brand? Everything right: according to the book: spot-on correct. Didn't matter. Money wins. The lesson in all of that? You can do it all right, and it can still go horribly wrong. BUT...I'd rather do it all right, with integrity and right-action, and be able to sleep at night. Well actually, that's a metaphor, cuz there were lots of sleepless nights.
But looking back on that whole dark fiasco, I wouldn't have done anything differently. The outcome was the outcome, and I'm just now rising like a phoenix from the ashes, dusting myself off and finding new directions, associates, friends and future. Cheers! Kaarina
Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face, huh?
Interesting strategy; in my world we try to get business owners to have a disaster recovery plan in place. What are the first 3 things you do when you pull up to the office and the building is gone? That's a known loss, I could see where the threats you mention could be just as applicable (and I'm going to start using it if you don't mind.......:).
Cape Cod, huh? I'm looking over the beautiful Gulf of Mexico close to Sarasota, Fl this am as I type and thinking "I could get used to this".
Thanks for sharing today.
@Glenn Ferrell Hi Glenn, I agree. I found the metaphor to be apt and fascinating really, as he dug into it in the book and continued the comparison.
@KDillabough And you're going to kill it!
@KDillabough wow. sounds like quite a story there! have you blogged on it? You've got me curious. sounds awful and I'm glad you're on the way out of that!
@bdorman264 I LOVE that side of Florida! My grandparents have a home there and I have very fond memories of visiting. You definitely could get used to it. It's 50 degrees and rainy and foggy in Chicago today. Guess I'll ride the trainer. Again.
@Lisa Gerber Haven't yet had the courage or cojones to blog about it yet. There's some great lessons in the experience, but I'm still a little raw. I had a national newspaper that wanted to write the story, but I had to wonder: what good will come of that? What's my motivation? But I think, when I'm ready, it's a story that needs to be told, in my voice, for the lessons it brings to bear. Looking from outside-in, it's a head-smacking, how-could-that-happen tale. Maybe something for Spin Sucks one day? Cheers! Kaarina
@ginidietrich It definitely is nice and I have friends who live down here; I just wonder if you lived here full time would you still appreciate it as much..............I would like to give it a try............:).
Good morning.
@Lisa Gerber LOL, I'm glad it was my comment you un-snarked yourself for, teehee. Love ya, snarky or otherwise. Cheers! Kaarina
@Lisa Gerber Thanks Lisa: after I posted I felt like the ultimate schmuck...feeling like I overstepped my boundaries or protocol. Thanks for the reply, and your support: Now I can un-schmuck myself:)
@KDillabough oh shoot. I keep forgetting I'm supposed to be snarky!! LOL. I forgot myself for a moment.
@KDillabough wasn't taken that way at all. I'd love to have you tell the story on Spin Sucks. Was just being sensitive to your situation. :)
@Lisa Gerber No sweat: wasn't trying to push it onto Spin Sucks: it was a bit of a tongue-in-cheek comment. Looking forward to our continued connection. Cheers! Kaarina
Absolutely. I certainly understand - but whenever you feel ready, sounds like we could all learn from it. I feel like I just got to know you a little more, Kaarina! Thank you.
@ginidietrich My youngest son would move to Chicago in a second, especially if he could hear the 7th inning stretch from Wrigley. He went there last summer for the first time to see the Cubs (lifelong fan) with some fraternity brothers and he LOVED it.
My wife would move to the beach in a second, no questions asked. I think I could do it and enjoy it. I would definitely have to get a boat and I would probably be on the water a lot. They do have some pretty awesome sunsets on the west side of Fla beaches.
@bdorman264 When I moved to Chicago, I was afraid I wouldn't appreciate it as much, after a while. But I still love it. The skyline still makes me breathless. I still ride the lakefront. I still get chills when I hear the seventh inning stretch at Wrigley from my porch. And it's been 10 years. If you make a point to appreciate it, you will. Now...are you moving?
@bdorman264 @ginidietrich I grew up going to Cape Cod and it's great to be back. I'm amazed at how little it has changed and how they've kept big development off of this beautiful piece of earth!
Have fun down there in Flahrida as we like to call it. :) sounds beautiful. And the book! I thought the book was very good and worth the read.
