From the Publisher"Hip-hop, like all living artistic expression, constantly regenerates, turning innovation into convention, 'datcourse' into discourse, vernacularisms into commodity or the precious art object. As this second edition of the groundbreaking That's the Joint! shows, hip-hop scholarship has done the same: moving, grooving, breaking, and sampling the best ideas from an interdisciplinary community theater of writers whose insights chart a vibrant sector of the American musical landscape."
—Guthrie P. Ramsey, Jr., Edmund J. and Louise W. Kahn Term Professor of Music, University of Pennsylvania
"A standard bearer text in Hip Hop Studies. Sweeping in scope and rigorous in analyses."
—T. Denean Sharpley-Whiting, Gertrude Conaway Vanderbilt Distinguished Professor of African American Diaspora Studies and French, Vanderbilt University
"I'm going use this book when I teach US history to high school students from now on. In the past decade there's been a mania for all the music and fashions of the early 1980's, which none of the aficionados are old enough to remember. It would be wonderful for them to learn where it all originated."

Tiffany & Co. (NYSE: TIF) reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended January 31, 2014. Worldwide net sales rose 5% in the quarter and 6% in the year. A net loss in the fourth quarter was due to a recorded charge that related to a ruling in an arbitration proceeding (see below and "Non-GAAP Measures"); however, excluding that and specific charges recorded in the first quarter, net earnings increased 6% in the fourth quarter and 15% in the full year, reflecting the sales growth and improved operating margins. In addition, management provided its initial forecast for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2015.
Michael J. Kowalski, chairman and chief executive officer, said, "We are proud of our performance this past year. Sales and operating earnings (excluding the arbitration-related charge) rose to record levels. Sales growth was led by fine and statement jewelry, new or expanded jewelry collections including the ATLAS, ZIEGFELD, and HARMONY collections, and continuing strength in our iconic jewelry designs. Tiffany's marketing communications more effectively engaged global consumers wherever they shopped, our distribution network was expanded by 14 additional stores, and everywhere the store experience was enhanced by improved visual merchandising. And we made important additions to our management team to strengthen our ability to capitalize on the global growth opportunities before us."
In the three months ("fourth quarter") ended January 31, 2014:
- Worldwide net sales increased 5% to $1.3 billion. On a constant-exchange-rate basis that excludes the effect of translating foreign-currency-denominated sales into U.S. dollars (see "Non-GAAP Measures"), worldwide net sales increased 9%, and comparable store sales rose 6% as a result of increased sales in all regions.
- In the quarter, the Company recorded a net pretax charge of $473 million ($293 million after tax, or $2.27 per diluted share) related to an adverse arbitration ruling (see the Company's news release issued on December 22, 2013: "Award Issued in Arbitration Between The Swatch Group Ltd. and Tiffany & Co.") which resulted in a net loss of $104 million, or $0.81 per diluted share. Excluding the charge (see "Non-GAAP Measures"), net earnings rose to $190 million, or $1.47 per diluted share, from $180 million, or $1.40 per diluted share, a year ago.
In the 12 months ("full year") ended January 31, 2014:
- Worldwide net sales increased 6% to $4.0 billion. On a constant-exchange-rate basis, worldwide net sales rose 10% and comparable store sales rose 6% due to growth in all regions.
- Net earnings were $181 million, or $1.41 per diluted share. Excluding the aforementioned charge in the fourth quarter, as well as expenses of $9 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, that had been recorded in this year's first quarter for specific staff and occupancy reductions (see "Non-GAAP Measures"), net earnings increased 15% to $481 million, or $3.73 per diluted share, from $416 million, or $3.25 per diluted share, in the prior year.
- In the Americas region, total sales rose 6% to $659 million in the fourth quarter and 5% to $1.9 billion in the full year. On a constant-exchange-rate basis, total sales rose 7% in the quarter and 5% in the full year; comparable store sales increased 7% in the quarter due to growth in most markets, and rose 3% in the full year led by growth in New York flagship store sales as well as modest growth in branch store sales.
- Total sales in the Asia-Pacific region increased 8% to $275 million in the fourth quarter and 17% to $945 million in the full year. On a constant-exchange-rate basis, total sales rose 11% in the quarter and 18% in the full year; comparable store sales increased 4% in the quarter due to growth in Greater China and most other markets, and increased 11% in the year due to broad-based sales growth across the region.
- Tiffany's business in Japan performed well throughout the year. A negative translation effect from a substantially weaker yen versus the U.S. dollar resulted in total sales declining 12% to $169 million in the fourth quarter and 9% to $579 million in the full year. However, on a constant-exchange-rate basis, total sales increased 8% in the fourth quarter and 11% in the full year, with 8% and 10% growth in comparable store sales.
- In Europe, total sales increased 10% to $161 million in the fourth quarter and rose 9% to $470 million in the full year. On a constant-exchange-rate basis, total sales rose 7% in both the quarter and full year; comparable store sales rose 2% in the quarter and 4% in the year due to growth in most countries.
- Other sales increased 47% to $35 million in the fourth quarter and 53% to $111 million in the full year. On a constant-exchange-rate basis, total Other sales also increased 47% and 53% in those respective periods, partly due to increases of 23% and 14% in comparable store sales of five TIFFANY & CO. stores in the United Arab Emirates, which were converted from independently-operated to Company-operated in July 2012, as well as wholesale sales of diamonds not meeting the Company's requirements.
- Tiffany added 14 stores (net) in 2013. At January 31, 2014, the Company operated 289 stores (121 in the Americas, 72 in Asia-Pacific, 54 in Japan, 37 in Europe and five in the U.A.E.), versus 275 stores (115 in the Americas, 66 in Asia-Pacific, 55 in Japan, 34 in Europe and five in the U.A.E.) a year ago.
- Gross margin (gross profit as a percentage of net sales) increased 1.4 points to 60.5% in the fourth quarter and rose 1.1 points to 58.1% in the full year. Gross margin in both periods largely benefited from reduced product cost pressures, as well as price increases taken earlier in the year. In addition, a sales mix shift in the full year toward higher-priced, lower gross margin products offset some of those benefits.
- SG&A (selling, general and administrative) expenses rose 7% in the fourth quarter and 6% in the full year, with the increases in both periods largely reflecting incremental fixed and variable labor costs and higher store-related expenses. The translation effect from a stronger U.S. dollar reduced SG&A expense growth by 3% in both the quarter and full year.
- Interest and other expenses, net were $8 million in the fourth quarter and $49 million in the full year, versus $14 million and $54 million in the respective periods last year. Interest and other expenses, net in the quarter and full year included $7 million associated with a foreign currency transaction gain related to the payment of the arbitration award (see "Non-GAAP Measures").
- The Company had an income tax benefit in the fourth quarter due to the effect of the arbitration award. The effective income tax rate was 28.8% in the full year. Excluding the above-mentioned charges, the effective income tax rates were 36.1% in the fourth quarter and 34.8% in the full year, versus 35.0% and 35.3% in the prior year.
- Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were $367 million at January 31, 2014, compared with $506 million a year ago reflecting the Company's $473 million cash payment tied to the aforementioned adverse arbitration ruling. Short-term and long-term debt totaled $1.0 billion at January 31, 2014 versus $959 million a year ago. As a percentage of stockholders' equity, total debt was 37% at both January 31, 2014 and January 31, 2013.
- Net inventories increased 4% in the full year to $2.3 billion at January 31, 2014. Finished goods inventories and combined raw material and work-in-process inventories increased at similar rates. On a constant-exchange-rate basis, net inventories rose 6% over last year.
- Capital expenditures were $221 million in 2013, versus $220 million in the prior year.
- The Company incurred a "free cash outflow" (net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures) in the full year (see "Non-GAAP Measures"), which was entirely due to the $473 million arbitration award payment.

The two-year, £1 million collaboration to develop a combination radio that remembers where a CD stopped when switched off, described in your Cutting Edge column (21 August, p 22), sounds remarkably as if it is trying to reinvent the radio in my 7-year-old Volvo. This not only remembers where the CD was before being switched off, it will also return to that point after traffic news updates or after the tape player is used.
I hope that the research you describe was not a waste of resources for the collaborators, and that they have managed to come up with something else as well.

Robert Pattinson is our hero. That guy might be the only person in Hollywood who legitimately knows how to get drunk. While everyone else is standing around LA bars holding $15 cocktails and wondering why LA sucks, Rob is getting sloshed at the Chateau Marmont bar and going home with random brunettes!
Sorry Kristen Stewart, looks like Rob has officially moved on!
Here are the deets. Rob went to the Chateau on June 25. He left around 2:45 a.m., making it June 26 already.
He got into the backseat of a car with a brunette woman who was smiling from ear to ear. We don't blame her. Check the picture here.
It should be noted that Rob looks CRAZY drunk in the photo.
You go Rob. You get that random Chateau a*s! Just check first to make sure it isn't Lindsay Lohan.

UFL: Global, Stallion XIs try to remain unbeaten
GLOBAL and Stallion try to stretch their unbeaten streak when they tackle separate rivals today in the United Football League at Emperador Stadium in Taguig City.
Coming off its best game of the season, Global guns for its fourth straight victory against a struggling Army side in the 5:15 p.m. kickoff.
On a three-game roll to start the campaign, Stallion collides with a Kaya side still reeling from the sudden resignation of coach Maor Rozen.
Global produced a scintillating display in the 5-1 demolition of Green Archers Globe last Tuesday with Sudanese striker Izzo El-Habbib delivering a brace, increasing his total to three goals this season.
"The team is creating a lot of chances for him (El-Habbib)," said Global coach Brian Reid, who will return to the bench after missing the last two games to attend to personal commitments in Europe.
"Hopefully the goals will help him get his confidence back. If he's fit, he'll definitely be a big part of us."
Army can take a lot of positives from the 1-2 loss to Stallion last Thursday. The Armed Forces side held its ground in the second half and scored a goal even after going down to 10 men.
The Armymen are looking to avoid a third straight loss.
Stallion has hardly looked troubled thus far with its attack, led by Rufo Sanchez and Ruben Doctora, clicking into high gear.
In contrast, Kaya has found difficulty creating scoring chances and has relied mainly on the brilliance of OJ Porteria.

Letters to the Editor: 04.27.06
Ref: "Sleepy EMS?", Letters, April 4.
Yes, performing the duties of a firefighter or paramedic during a 24-hour shift can have some physical and mental tiring effects. However, in situations requiring life-saving actions or hard physical work necessary to diffuse emergencies, firefighters come through with training, camaraderie and teamwork.
Rarely in true emergencies are firefighters or medics working alone. Additional responding units arrive with more manpower and contribute to diffusing fire, medical, hazardous material, or rescue situations.
There is something embedded in the hearts and souls of firefighters everywhere that drives them to do their best. Citizens can rest assured that during emergencies, arriving firefighter medics will give 110 percent service any time, day or night, and tired or not.

Why Robstown?
After reading that the county commissioners approved a $4.8 million library for Robstown and seeing red, I have to ask why so much money is being spent in Robstown.
First a baseball stadium, then a show barn and now a library. Just how much money compared to other towns in Nueces County does the Robstown community actually contribute to the tax base?
With the gas prices like they are, why would anybody drive from Corpus Christi or another area just to go to a beautiful library or drink coffee in Robs-town, as County Judge Shamsie stated?
That is just another reason we are building a new home in another county. Tired of the same old boys doing the old boy thing.
I want a county that will spend more effectively and carefully listen to the people.

Valuable workers
America would be wise to streamline the process for legal immigration. We need to make it possible for all honest hard-working immigrants to legally live and work in the U.S.A.
If we do so, these now legal honest, hardworking immigrants (and their descendants) will be contributing to the local economy, paying taxes and contributing to Social Security (which desperately needs all the help it can get). Short-term costs, such as educating their children, will actually be a great long-term investment in future earned wages, taxes paid and Social Security contributions. In the long term, we will all benefit.
Besides, if you go back far enough, we are all descended from immigrants. Even the Native American tribes came to this continent from somewhere else.
Wyn Kelly
Low-wage jobs
Illegal immigrants do not take jobs that legal citizens will not do. They take jobs that legal citizens will not do at a much lower salary.
An employer can hire an illegal for less than minimum wage. They can be hired as contract labor, and the employer is not required to hold out income tax, Social Security, and is not required to pay into unemployment insurance.
I don't mean that everyone does this, but I do know it happens. It's not fair to the legal citizens and is not fair to the illegal immigrants.
I know all they want is a better life in the United States, but this can't go on forever. We just have so many jobs to go around.
Robert R. Ford
Power of state
I am starting to hear this regularly from those who want to use the 10th Amendment to get around the First Amendment guarantee of religious freedom. "It (abortion) is just a medical procedure that can be regulated by the state to determine who can and who can't get it."
The communist Chinese and the universal health (taxpayer-funded abortion on demand) care advocates are the most ardent supporters of this idea. Why?
Well, for China this means that the state can force women to get abortions against their will for state-mandated population control, a power those who support taxpayer-funded abortion on demand don't find completely objectionable.
This means that those who support the idea that the state has sole authority to decide who can and who can't get an abortion are playing right into the hands of the communists, socialists and Marxists who want (and, in China, have) the power to force or otherwise encourage women to get abortions for the "good of the state."
Davi Wayne-Disney
It's about money
I often look back to my early positions on controversial issues. I want to ensure that I did not miss anything in the beginning.
In re-looking at the open beach issue, I first looked at who was opposed to closing the beach. I see nothing but "in your face" hard-working people without any monetary motive. They just want the beaches to remain free.
Then I asked myself, why is it that the other side is so against keeping the beaches open?
Well, I found it. First, there were the bankers, then came the real estate people (sellers, brokers, title companies, et al), then came island business owners and island. In doing the math, I realized that all of the opponents had a money reason to be involved.
My quest was simple to deduce. It is not about safety or anything like that. It is not about what is right or wrong; it is about money and greed, and greedy, greedy people.
Charles R. Cox, Jr.
Dream fading
People on the island should be happy. Everything will stay the same, prices are going down again, thanks to Katrina (new windstorm policies), the media and the probably-not-happening development. Isn't this what everybody wants?
Island inhabitants who thought they might make a 500 percent profit on their homestead investment will soon see it dwindle, their dream going back to the original state, how it was for the last 30 years.
Corpus Christi, wake up. Don't you see that you need to move forward to survive?
Or Padre Island: Do you soon want to become a ghost town? As for me, I have more fun in the developed Port Aransas.
Monika Caldwell
Canceled, again
I am very disappointed with the numerous cancellations that have occurred at the American Bank Center recently. I was just informed that the May 19 Pepe Aguilar show was canceled.
I must make my work schedule far in advance and had already made plans to attend this concert. Even if it is rescheduled, I may not be able to attend.
The reason cited for rescheduling states that it was a "scheduling conflict." However, this was the second date for this show, because they re-scheduled the original one.
Other recent cancellations include Juan Gabriel, Allison Krauss (rescheduled), Champions on Ice, and Pepe Aguilar (rescheduled and now cancelled).
My opinion is that these cancellations may be due to lack of ticket sales, which in turn are due to lack of promotion. Why is it that other venues such as the Laredo Entertainment Center are not experiencing this many cancellations?
I feel that people are going to be discouraged from buying tickets with all of these cancellations. We get our hopes up to see these big-name performers, only to be let down in the end. Something needs to be done to make these performers come to Corpus Christi and not cancel. Let's hope David Copperfield is not next.
Candace Hernandez
Power mad
I fail to see how the only nation in the history of the world to use nuclear weapons, and then use them twice, can in any way take issue with some other nation developing the same.
Democracy means mob rule, and our forefathers were afraid of a democracy; this is why they gave us a democratic republic.
There were no WMD in Iraq and no connection to the supposed Arab/Muslim 9/11 attacks.
Just what in blazes makes anyone think that this administration is anything but drunk on power?
I for one am hoping the Republican Party loses anything that shows I was a Republican for 30 years. I now hate the Republican Party just a little bit more than I do the Democratic Party.
Both are liars and losers and no matter their campaign promises, nothing gets better, as both parties systematically destroy our rights.

Etnofoco is a partnership between Olivier Boels – photographer – and Lena Tosta – anthropologist.
Etnofoco offers exhibitions, interactive seminars, courses, and publications nuanced by anthropological research and photographic sensibility but accessible to a non-specialized public. Our work merges critical and artistic perspectives to share experiences on interculturality, social themes and contemporary issues.
All the stages of production "from fieldwork to editing" are joint efforts to promote interchange between the focused cultural group, our public and ourselves. We would like our work to inspire cross-cultural learning, to light both the sentiment of empathy for harmonic cosmologies and a non-conformist attitude towards oppressive relations. We produce work in english, french and portuguese.

- 1 packet buttercake cake mix
- 120 g butter
- 425 g no-added-sugar canned apricot
- 250 mls sour cream
- 1 tbs cinnamon sugar
- STEP 1 Preheat oven to 180C.
- STEP 2 Rub butter into cake mix until crumbly.
- STEP 3 Press mixture into a greased slice tray and bake in oven until golden. Remove and allow to cool.
- STEP 4 Spread apricot evenly over base and then spread sour cream over the apricot.
- STEP 5 Sprinkle cinnamon sugar evenly over the sour cream and then bake for a further 15 minutes or until the sugar starts to brown.
I use SPC Baker's Apricot. You can also substitute apricot for apple if you prefer (SPC make a Baker's Apple also). No need to wait for the base to cool - made it in a hurry the other day and just slapped it together - worked a treat!

I didn't have much luck with this one. I found the butter overpowering and I actually threw some away uneaten. It must work best with a particular brand of cake mix. I won't make it again.
REVIEWER: jarew
I only used 100 g butter as it was impossible to rub any more in, the base was already a firm dough with the 100 g. I couldn't get it to cover a slice tin, so I ended up using a large square cake tin. I put this down to the fact that not all butter cake packets are the same (I used a Greens cake mix). The end result was a very rich slice. The base had a slightly caramelised taste. Very flavoursome, but being so rich, a small piece was plenty.
REVIEWER: kjm2010
I got my aunty to make this whilst I cooked tea - she hates cooking but this recipe was easy to follow and we all enjoyed it for dessert. I used 125 g butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon for the base. I added 2 egss to the topping and just put the whole carton of sour cream in as I didn't want leftovers. I used 400 g stewed apricots as I was clearing out the freezer. Cooked the base for 25 minutes and topping for about the same (until golden). Delicious warm or cold.
REVIEWER: irenecam
I lost this recipe that was once on the back of the butter cake mix. Have made it many times and always have people asking for the recipe. Thanks, I'm so pleased to have found it again.
REVIEWER: Russki65
Just as nice using pie apple. I add cinnamon and caster sugar to the pie apple, before adding to base and always buy the no frills/homebrand butter cake mix which doesn't have a salty taste.

Today is the World Sparrow Day, a day to rekindle your thoughts of those fast disappearing bird. Did you know that once considered as the most commonly bird found in the country – sparrows have now been overtaken by crows, pigeon and mynas in various cities, pushing it down to the fourth place, according to a recent report conducted by the Common Bird Monitoring Program India (CBMI).
The CBMI is a four-year long program that involves community support in recording bird sightings. Data for the first-two years pins sparrow sighting at 18,035 as compared to the Rock pigeon, which is now the most commonly seen bird at 27,064.
For a decade now, the small sized sparrows have been on a decline and experts blame the lack of nesting cavities, loss of supporting biodiversity and lack of worm feed due to pesticides, for the sparrows.
Increase in availability of food in the form of garbage, pigeon feeding rituals in kabutarkhanas and the decline in natural predators, have led to a rise in pigeons and crows, states the report. On the other hand insects and worms that thrive around native plants and form the sole nutrition for baby sparrows are reduced in many urban areas due to pesticides or exotic biodiversity, leading to increased mortality of young sparrows.
"One of the main reasons is the modern architecture that don't provide cavities that are essential for the sparrows to nest in. Pigeons and crows on the other hand are used to nesting on flat surfaces like ACs, ceilings and window sills," said Mohammed Dilavar, founder of Nature Forever Society, who initiated the CBMI.
"We want volunteers to help us keep a track of these birds. These common birds represent the ecological health of a place and monitoring them will help us identify the areas where timely conservation is needed. The rate at which the sparrows are reducing, it seem as of in another 5-10 years we might not have any of them left," said Arpita Bhagat, project head, CBMI.
Common bird sightings the last two years in order
Rock pigeon: 27,064
House crow: 26,707
Myna: 21,398
House sparrow:18,035
Bring back the sparrows: You can register yourself on the website and contribute by recording your sightings of any of the 18 common birds listed on the website www.cbmi.in . You can also keep an artificial sparrow nest or make one in your window or balcony, for sparrows.
For artificial sparrow nests, contact: Nature Forever Society at 9890087988 or Sparrow shelter at 022-32993325.

"Sweetheart, it's me…Daddy."
Carlotta Wren stepped off the up escalator in the Atlanta Neiman Marcus department store where she worked, so shocked by the sound of the voice on the other end that she dropped her cell phone. It landed on the shiny, waxed floor with a smack, bounced and skidded away. With her heart in her stomach, she frantically scrambled after the fleeing phone, the baritone of her long-lost fugitive father ringing in her ears.
Was it really him calling after ten years of silence? Ten years during which she'd put her life on hold to finish raising herself and her younger brother Wesley after her parents had skipped bail—and town—on investment fraud charges. Ten years of feeling alone and abandoned after her friends and even her fiancé had withdrawn their affection in light of the scandal.
The tiny phone spun away like a mouse scurrying for cover. Carlotta gulped air as she clambered after it, brushing the shoulders of people in her path, darting between racks of clothing. The foot of a striding customer struck the phone and sent it spinning in another direction. Carlotta hurtled after it, feeling her father slip farther from her grasp with every agonizing second that passed. She was practically hyperventilating when she fell to her knees, curled her fingers around the elusive phone and jammed it to her ear. "Hello? Daddy?"
Dead air. If it had been Randolph Wren on the other end of the line, he was gone.
A sob welled up in her chest. "Daddy, can you hear me?"
She couldn't bring herself to hang up, unwilling to sever the only connection she'd had with her father in over a decade. Then she realized that he might be trying to call her back and stabbed the disconnect button. Sitting under a rack of beaded bathing-suit sarongs, Carlotta stared at the phone, willing it to ring again, thinking how ridiculous she would seem to an onlooker—an almost thirty-year-old woman sitting on the floor waiting for a call back from her long-lost daddy.
Somewhere between her nonexistent career goals, her brother's legal problems, their hulking debt to loan sharks and her confused love life, she'd made the transition from pitiful to pathetic.
Suddenly she remembered the callback feature and realized with a surge of excitement that she'd at least be able to see what number he'd called from. She stabbed at buttons on the phone, but was rewarded with a rather sick-sounding tone and noticed with dismay that the display was interrupted by a hairline crack. Liquid gathered in one corner, much like when Wesley had broken his Etch-a-Sketch when he was little.
"You can't be broken," Carlotta pleaded, blinking back tears. What would she tell Wesley? That their father had finally made contact and she'd hung up on him? Wesley still believed that their father was innocent and that he and their mother would return some day to clear his name and unite their shattered family. Carlotta felt less forgiving, especially toward her mother Valerie, who hadn't been charged with a crime, yet had chosen a life on the lam over her own children.
"Ring," she whispered, hoping that only the display had been compromised. She sat on her heels for five long minutes, her thumb hovering over the answer button, perspiration wetting her forehead. A shadow fell over her. When she looked up, she winced inwardly to see the general manager, Lindy Russell, standing with her eyebrows raised.
Minus ten points.
Next to Lindy stood a tall, narrow blonde, conservatively coiffed down to her upper class hair flip and wearing a haughty expression. Carlotta recognized her from sales meetings; she was new and worked in accessories next to the shoe department where Carlotta's friend Michael Lane worked. Patricia somebody or another.
"Carlotta, is there a problem?" Lindy asked.
Carlotta pushed to her feet and straightened her clothing. During the dash for her phone she'd lost a shoe. "No."
"Glad to hear it. You know you're not supposed to be using your cell phone while you're working the floor."
"Yes," Carlotta said, her throat closing. "But this is a—an emergency."
"Oh?" Lindy crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Are you on an organ-donor list?"
"The phone-a-friend for a contestant on a national trivia show?"
"Waiting to hear back from your next employer?"
Patricia snickered and Carlotta swallowed. "N-no."
Lindy extended her hand. "Hand it over. You can pick it up at the end of your shift."
"No buts, Carlotta. You're already skating on thin ice around here."
Carlotta bit her tongue. Lindy had been more than fair to give her a get-out-of-jail-free card for buying clothes on her employee discount, wearing them to crash upscale parties, then returning the fancy outfits for full credit. Ditto when she had been involved in a knock-down drag-out fight with a customer right here in the store—and been implicated in that customer's subsequent murder. That particular misunderstanding had since been cleared up, but Carlotta's once-stellar sales record had slipped badly in the interim. It hadn't helped that the murdered woman had been a high-volume customer.
She was lucky that she hadn't been canned weeks ago, and since she and Wesley depended on her paycheck for little things like paying the mortgage…with a shaky smile, she handed the phone to Lindy.
"Carlotta, have you met Patricia Alexander?"
"Not formally." She extended her hand to the blonde. "Hello."
The woman's hand was just as cold as her smile. "Hello."
"Patricia is number one in sales this week," Lindy said.
"Congratulations," Carlotta murmured, stinging with the knowledge that not too long ago, she had owned that number one spot.

Just in case I needed another reason to love the Miz, she blessed me today with a post, as featured commenter of the month. She is my blogging Yoda.
This week has been a harsh set of realities for me. Life and death, joy and sorrow, way up highs and way down lows. Throughout the whole mess of it, one thing has remained truly and utterly constant; (my ass is still flat as a board no matter how many donkey kicks I do?) my little family rocks. I am always surprised at just how easily a 13 month old and a 4 year old can find joy in the simplest of things, and bring that joy to the Cop and I.
Yesterday, my son had a bit of a sad moment over things that happened in my neck of the woods, and after some cuddling, he looks up and says "you know, if you run in a circle, really fast for a while, you can feel your heart in your head! Did you know your heart could move to your head, Momma? It can, I can FEEL it there." Did I tell him that he might just be excited and dizzy? Hell no. If I did that, I'd miss the "spin in a circle until I look like a drunken frat boy" dance.
The Peanut warms an entire room with her smile. It is so genuine, and so sweet, it is like that first bite of peach pie in the summer, warm and sunshine-y. There isn't a thing she doesn't laugh at; her brother, bath time, Elmo, my tendency to gulp too hot coffee and then scream like a little bitch….oh wait, maybe I'll have to train her not to laugh at me in public. Can't have your children laughing at you in public, you know, unless you accidentally have a part of your romper short tied up with your belt…not that it happened to me last week….not that my ass was in full view of an all boys Yeshiva…
The thing is, sometimes, as a grown up, I forget how effing funny some of the little things are. I am often so bogged down in my own reality. I don't notice how hysterical it is that I am now doing bear crawls for exercise, looking pretty much a fool, instead of doing bear crawls for the very purpose of pretending to be a bear. Hell, I even try to jump rope now and again. Do you know how bad I suck at that? I've NEVER been good at it, but it's always been FUN. The Miz often talks about "play-outs". They sound so silly and simple, but damnit if that isn't exactly what we need to get the adult sized stick out of our asses sometimes. (Though, depending on how long said stick has been there, you may need an adult sized diaper after you remove it. )
But seriously, How killer would it be if I wore a bear skin or suit to the gym and did the crawls? Or at least a Winnie the Pooh costume.
I'm only crawling for the honeys.
To be fair, I have dressed up as Jane Fonda for Jazzercise…
Speaking of people who are often considered bananas…How about some healthy fried plantains? (see what I just did there?) They are IN SEASON!! They are a great substitute for rice or potatoes, or even a bread-y side dish. Naturally gluten-free, this recipe goes GREAT with some spicy pork loin, shrimp, or super spicy black beans. If you have kids, quadruple this recipe, because they tend to eat all the plantains off of their plate, and then move on to yours. Pint sized thieves.
peel and thinly slice the plantains
in a large skillet, heat the oils on medium-high
add in the plantains in a single layer
fry on both sides until starting to darken
stir in salt and syrup

Park Spark transforms dog doo into light
By Ben Coxworth
September 22, 2010
It's definitely a good thing that so many dog owners scoop their pooches' poop, but what happens to that waste after it's been bagged and discarded isn't so great... usually it ends up fermenting in a landfill, where it poses a health risk, attracts vermin, and releases harmful methane gas into the atmosphere. Pickling it and turning it into plant fertilizer is one option, but American conceptual artist Matthew Mazzotta would like to see it fed into digesters that use it to produce methane gas, which is then used for fuel. To that end, he has created a sort of demonstration project/art installation called Park Spark, at a dog park in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It features a lamp that lights the park at night, powered by nothing but canine doo-doo.
Methane digesters are already in use in places such as India, where the gas from cow manure is used to provide supplemental heat and electricity for villages. Even the concept of using dog feces isn't entirely new, as Mazzotta got the idea from reading about a similar proposed project in San Francisco. That digester ultimately never saw the light of day, but Matthew met with the scientific advisor for the project, and learned how to make his own.
To use the Park Spark, dog owners scoop their dog's poop in one of the supplied biodegradable bags, then drop it into a large airtight tank. They then turn a wheel on top of the tank, to stir the contents. Through a process of anaerobic digestion, microorganisms break down the feces and produce methane gas. That gas rises and is ultimately released – and burned off – through a valve on the lamp. When burned, the methane is separated into carbon dioxide and water. Although CO2 is still a greenhouse gas, it's much less potent than methane.
The flame in the lamp burns as long as there is fuel to feed it.
While the amount of energy created by one digester in one park might not be huge, Mazzotta hopes the project gets people thinking about their place in the natural world. "The energy of the digester manifested as an 'eternal flame' is evidence of the redundant and unquestioned nature of our behaviors," he states on the Park Spark website.
"What lies beneath the circumstances that have driven us to develop 'green technologies' is the fact that we are disconnected from our environment. When we start to unveil how we are connected to our surroundings we are immediately shown a much more dynamic and interconnected picture of what we are part of."
Mazzotta is now trying to establish Park Sparks in other cities, and is open to suggestions for other possible uses for the gas that they create.
One step closer to Thunderdome.5318008
This must be the most expensive street lamp in the world. A triumph of ingenuity over common sense. I wouldn\'t fancy having to service the device. Incidentally, I have a similar machine in my back garden, for sewage treatment, only it works aerobically, so does not produce methane. Solids have to be removed every 6 months. Is this too much information?windykites1
This is the cheapest street light ever. I say a triumph for common sense. This is a design that will pay for itself in electrical savings. That is the point. Good for you on the leaching septic system.James Yarger
How about one in each home, powered by human poop, dog/cat poop, and wouldn\'t compost decomposition also produce methane? So all our food scraps and lawn clippings and leaves could produce methane for cooking, heating, heating water, dryers and lighting?bigdaddy69_77

My daughter went. My wife and I couldn't go at the last minute.However, my daughter loved the stadium and the event and wants us all to go next year!

It was a beautiful day to enjoy baseball and the seats were great. The family decided we wanted to do another Rivershark game in the future since we had a nice time:)
We got the tickets to take my dad to celebrate his Bday. I looked online at the birthday packages and saw that you could get the Happy Birthday Message on the big board,, which we did. I was a bit disappointed that you couldn't bring cake/cupcakes to sing him Happy Birthday. Earlier in the week, I emailed the person on the website about ordering cupcakes. I didn't get a response. I emailed/txt'd again during the week, with no response. I called and spoke to someone Friday afternoon before the game on Sunday and was told it was too late to have them order cupcakes. I was really disappointed in that response and in the fact that I tried contacting them all week. Other than this, we had a very pleasant day.

The stadium is clean and parking is convenient. The box office staff and aides in the gallery are professional.
The management of the stadium is neglecting their opportunity to make the whole experience more fun. I went to the Atlantic City Sandcastle stadium to the Surf games (til they folded). There was a lot more interaction with the crowd. You need an announcer with pizazz!

Zapping your cigarette craving with laser
Billy and Sally (names withheld upon request) tried the gum, the patch and sheer will power. None kept them off cigarettes for the long haul. So they decided to give the latest high-tech weapon against nicotine addiction–the laser—a try.
Billy, a 38-year-old electrician, and Sally, a 28-year-old call center agent, were among the first in the country—and in the Asia-Pacific region—to try a method that employ "cold" laser therapy to help kick the habit. Billy and Sally, who used to smoke since high school 10 and 12 sticks a day, respectively, took the laser treatment early this year. After the second and final "booster" sessions, both attested they no longer miss cigarettes at all.
Mack Benauro, owner and certified laser therapist of Anne Penman Laser Therapy Manila (email@example.com), explained the procedure: A "cold" laser pulses low levels of energy at several points on the hands, nose, ears and wrists. Each point is targeted for 60 seconds, and the procedure is painless.
These points correspond to energy centers used in acupuncture and acupressure to ease cravings and elevate mood. In addition to the laser, clients also receive supportive counseling. Included are ideas on what to do instead of having a cigarette when craving strikes, as well as stress management and relaxation techniques.
The Anne Penman Laser Therapy Manila, located at Studio Two Building, Northgate Cyberzone, Filinvest Corporate City in Alabang, is part of a worldwide franchise based in Scotland (United Kingdom), where its founder pioneered the therapy.
She said the principle behind the Anne Penman Laser Therapy (APLT) Smoking Cessation program is that when an individual stops smoking, his/her endorphin level suddenly drops, which has been identified as the cause of withdrawal symptoms, both physical and mental. Endorphins are the body's natural feel-good chemicals, and when they are released or stimulated, an individual's mood is boosted naturally.
Benauro explained: "When using the APLT Smoking Cessation program, clients experience no sensation of heat but actually a soothing feeling of well-being. They enter a phase of deep relaxation and circulation is activated. This process generates natural endorphins that bind to nicotine receptors, and the 'saturation' of these receptors exponentially reduces withdrawal symptoms to a minimum level."
She said the laser employed at the APLT Manila is safe, pain-free, drug-free and nonintrusive.
Unlike most industrial and surgical lasers, cold lasers are not used for cutting or to heat up tissues.
Since cold lasers employ certain wavelengths of light, it has been proven to relieve pain, assist regeneration of nerves, stimulate acupuncture meridians, and as Anne Penman found, remove addictions, particularly smoking.
"The laser light acts as a calming agent so that when you stop smoking, the withdrawal symptoms often associated with quitting are either greatly reduced or completely eliminated," she explained.
The Philippines is the second largest smoking population in the Asean region (Indonesia tops the list).
More than a fifth or 17.3 million adult Filipinos are hooked on smoking. Of these, 14.6 million are males and 2.8 million are females. More alarming is the fact that one in five youth aged 13 to 15 currently smoke cigarettes.
"Every person we treat has different needs. To maximize the success of the laser therapy, we have created a program that also include person-centered advice and backup support," Benauro explained.
She said while most of their clients were able to stop the craving after undergoing the first session, the second and third sessions are scheduled to help with issues like stress and weight gain and help their clients maintain their new lifestyle.
The APLT Smoking Cessation program, which also include a 24/7 global helpline, cost P13,850 (the APLT also offers a four-session weight-loss program as well as four-session Chronic Stress Management).
"Anyone can stop smoking. It's making the lifestyle change after you stop that can be difficult and our center is here to help," Benauro assured.

Food is Good — A Meditation Upon Humanity
©By Vijaya Sundaram
Published on March 20th, 2013
I am always amazed and grateful that there is so much good food in the world, and yet people starve. Soul-crushing tyrannies, rampant capitalism, war, famine, flood, indifference … All of the hatefulness of humans conspire to keep people hungry in so many parts of the world — it's a matter of intense shame to me.
If you have food, share it.
If you have the time, feed people.
If you have the money to spare, give it to the starving, the weak, the poor.
There is no excuse for indifference.
Don't moralize piously about how the poor, the weak and the hungry should work for food.
Give them food FIRST!
Try working on an empty stomach — after many days of not eating.
How easy it is for you to prate on and on about how the poor expect handouts! What about you? You got plenty, only it came in the form of unquestioned privilege.
It is as simple as this: Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, tend to the sick, offer love to all living creatures. Leave, don't take.
You don't need religion to tell you this–you need what my mother would term "manusha thanmai" — a sense of humanity.
It is this, and only this which will save us all.

A word in Serbo-Croat from the classic Yugoslavian Karst region, the uvala comprises a series of joined or coalescent dolinas, often elongate and marking a former subterranean stream channel or series of collapsed sinkholes. It does not necessarily contain a stream at the present time. An uvala is generally of the order of 1 km in length; it is thus intermediate in size between a dolina (q.v.) and a polje (q.v.). When there is an active stream, entering at one side and leaving at the other, Malott (1932) has referred to it as a "karst window."

WAYNESFIELD — Danielle Heintz has some unusual interests for a 15-year-old girl. The Waynesfield-Goshen High School sophomore spends most of her time with cattle."I'll be getting a calf in October or November," Danielle said. "Then I'll raise him until next August."While that may not sound like much, the process of raising the calf into an award-winning steer takes a lot of time and patience."I have to break them to walk and teach them how to behave," she said. "That's in addition to feeding them and washing them."Closer to fair time, Danielle washes her steers up to three times per day."I guess I'm doing something right because I won Grand Champion Steer at the Ohio State Fair the last two years," she said.Of course, after spending all that time with her steers, she finds it hard to sell them. "It's hard when you have to work that hard to get them to act right and look right," she explained. "You do get attached, but it is a way of life. This year, I only cried for an hour after I sold my steer."Danielle is very committed to showing steers."I quit all my sports to show steers all year and be competitive," she said. "I pursue a lot of agricultural things and am very competitive in what I do."It's not surprising with Danielle's love of livestock that she wants to some day be a big-animal veterinarian."My favorite class is animal science," she said. "I think it's really interesting to learn all about the animals."So far, she has not decided on which school she will go to, but knows that it will be a long road."Becoming a vet takes a lot of years," she said.Besides being involved in 4-H for the past eight years, first showing sheep and now focusing solely on steers, Danielle also belongs to FFA.Although her interests are not typical for most teenage girls, she likes to spend her free time the way many teens her age do."I like to hang out with my friends and my boyfriend," she said.

Supervisor of Elections Mohammed Saneem tests the machine that will be used to draw the numbers for candidates at the
Fijian Elections Office in Suva yesterday. Picture: ELIKI NUKUTABU
THE machine to determine the number for candidates in the National Candidates List was unveiled yesterday at the Fijian Elections Office by the Supervisor of the Elections Mohammed Saneem.
The picking of numbers will be done in a public place with candidates present and the public will be allowed to rotate the cylinder and pick numbers which will be assigned to candidates.
"The machine has been designed to create an effect inside the cylinder that the balls actually mix, there are two plates inside the cylinder which cause that rotary motion which is a tube that forms the figure eight and when you rotate the balls will stack to the middle," said Mr Saneem.
"Any person who is going to keep picking the balls won't have to keep moving the balls to the middle, with this design the balls actually keep coming into the middle.
"So the chance of a person's number is not affected by a blind person lifting the ball because the cylinder determines how the ball rolls into the middle and the person has to keep picking the ball from the middle and passing it to the supervisor for announcement."
Mr Saneem said if there were no appeals or objections to the candidates, the draw would be held on August 20.
"If there are and the Electoral Commission is able to deal with it before the 21st then we would like to do this by August 21 otherwise we will do the draw on August 24," he said.
According to Section 36(2) of Electoral Decree, each candidate will be given a number which shall appear on the National Candidates List.
Meanwhile August 20 is the last date by which people can change their polling venues.
