Sep. 17, 2013 4:09 AM ET
It was a good night for Tampa Bay and Kansas City in the AL wild-card race. Meanwhile, the Texas Rangers are falling fast and the NL Central remains tied with 12 games to play. A quick look at baseball's playoff picture:

HEAD TO HEAD: Four of the six teams vying for the two AL wild-card berths squared off against a fellow contender Monday night. Tampa Bay took the lead for the first spot by beating Texas 6-2, handing the Rangers their seventh straight defeat. Kansas City moved within 2½ games of Texas for the second slot with a 7-1 victory over the Indians, who remained a half-game behind the Rangers. Baltimore is two back, and the New York Yankees are 2½ out.
TRAGEDY: The Washington Nationals postponed their game against Atlanta following shootings at the nearby Navy Yard. The game was rescheduled as part of a day-night doubleheader on Tuesday, when a sweep would clinch the Braves' first NL East title since 2005.
ALMOST PERFECT: Seeking their first playoff trip since 1992, the Pirates ran into quite a road block. Andrew Cashner carried a perfect game into the seventh inning and faced the minimum 27 batters in a one-hitter that sent San Diego past Pittsburgh 2-0. Jose Tabata singled off Cashner to start the seventh but was erased on a double play. The Padres are the only big league franchise without a no-hitter.
CARDS DECKED: Despite their loss, the Pirates remained tied with St. Louis atop the NL Central when the Cardinals' normally reliable relievers gave up four runs in the eighth inning of a 6-2 loss at Colorado. "Overall our bullpen has been very, very good," St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said. "They will bounce back."
DIVISION DREAMS: Detroit beat Seattle 4-2 behind Rick Porcello to move a step closer to its third consecutive AL Central title. The Tigers lead second-place Cleveland by six games with 12 to play. ... Out in the NL West, the Los Angeles Dodgers were beaten 2-1 at Arizona. With their fourth loss in a row and the Diamondbacks' third straight win, the Dodgers' magic number to clinch the division stayed stuck on four.

Brussel Sprout-Powered Battery Gives A Second Life To The Oft-Detested Vegetable
Eight foot christmas tree full of LED lights is powered by one of the world's least favorite vegetables
Brussels sprouts have always had a bad reputation, especially amongst children – but London's Southbank Center is trying to demonstrate their hidden power this year with a Christmas tree powered entirely by the little green vegetables. The vegetable-powered battery was created by scientists from The Big Bang UK Young Scientists and Engineers Fair, which uses over 1,000 brussels sprouts to keep the tree lit.
Five power cells make up the battery system, each of which contains 200 little sprouts covered in copper and zinc electrodes that create a chemical reaction using the vegetable's natural electrolytes. The 63 volts of electricity produced by the device is more than enough to illuminate the strands of LED lights hanging on the tree. Even though getting kids near brussels sprouts can be be a challenge, the eight foot sustainably-powered tree came to life on Tuesday morning when some children from the City of London Academy flipped the switch.
Paul Jackson, the CEO of EngineeringUK, which runs The Big Bang UK Young Scientists & Engineers Fair, said:
We want young people to think about STEM subjects in an interesting way and are always looking for different ways to do that. It being the festive time of year – and kids' dislike of sprouts being well documented – using them to create a battery seemed like a unique way to achieve that aim.
The power produced by each brussels sprout is monitored on a separate display and stored until the sun goes down and it's time to turn on the 100 LED lights. It's possible for any fruit or vegetable to be used in the battery, but sprouts were chosen for their appearance, and the fact they could use a little bit of publicity. The first 1,000 vegetables are expected to power the tree's lights for a month, after which new one will be added to keep the tree illuminated throughout the holiday season.

When the New England Patriots reportedly offered their franchise receiver, Wes Welker, a two-year deal that was less than what he'd received should he be franchised the next two seasons, he did what many unhappy NFL players do if they don't get the coin they want from their employers – he cried to the media. Though he did sign his franchise tender and is working out with the team.
To his credit, Bowe's camp has been very silent since the NFL Draft. At that time, rumblings ran rampant the Chiefs tried to move Bowe to another NFL team. Pioli denied that rumor. But the problem with whatever side of the fence you sit - in regards to the validity or denial of the rumors - nobody wanted Bowe.
But all that's a mute point now.
Unfortunately, Bowe is caught in a soft market for wide receivers. He's not going to get that mega deal he desires – at least not in Kansas City or anywhere else for that matter. If the Patriots felt that Welker's value is worth roughly $16-20 million over two years then Bowe has no choice but to accept those numbers as contract Gospel.
Suddenly the Chiefs are in the catbird seat. And that's not a good thing either if fans hope to see this situation resolved soon. In laymen terms, Bowe won't sign his franchise tender until the start of training camp in St. Joseph. And that's unfortunate for both sides in this dispute.
Patriots low-ball offer to Wes Welker hurts Dwayne Bowe in getting big payday from KC.

Well Bowe needs to get a reality check and to some degree so do the Chiefs. Both sides need each other. This offense is better with a happy Bowe and the organization won't completely shed its budget conscious label until they sign Bowe to a long-term contract.
And that's important.
There is some debate that Bowe isn't in the same class as Welker. But he's pretty darn close. And if that's the case, Bowe should jump at the chance to put himself in a position to hope or ask for the same five-year deal that Eagles running back LeSean McCoy received on Thursday that included $23 million in guarantees.
But the problem at hand for Pioli no matter the money he offers Bowe - is the Chiefs top receiver is still an enigma.
He's either brilliant or not so brilliant. He either makes the circus catch or misses the gimmies. He has the ability to be an average receiver or an All Pro every season. It's really all up to Bowe. And he's not helping his chances to become the latter by refusing to sign his tender until mid to late July.
Pioli is wise to play hardball with Bowe because he's never put a string of years together that would garner receiving top dollar from the Chiefs. Still Pioli would be wise to forgo letting this stalemate drag out into the regular season by reaching a compromise and get a deal done this month.
On the flip side, if Bowe does not want to sign a new contract because he feels hurt, slighted or doesn't want to play for the Chiefs anymore, then Pioli really can't do anything else but franchise his top receiver the next two years.
Should Pioli be forced into that direction, Bowe would still earn roughly $23 million in 2012 and 2013 combined. If Bowe rolls that dice and doesn't take the money now by negotiating in good faith, he won't be a free agent until 2014. And at that point, nobody knows which category he might fall into – Bust or Superstar.
Either way neither side can afford to make a mistake in this situation. So it just might be best for everyone, if they settle their differences now.
Putting your heart aside is Dwayne Bowe deserving of a long term contract with the Chiefs?

Column: High-maintenance Generation Z heads to work
After every commencement season, there's another right of passage. Employers welcome that new crop of graduates, with their new attitudes and behaviors. This year, welcome the leading edge of "Generation Z."
This new generation has been uniquely shaped by nearly a decade of war and economic uncertainty: Those born in 1990 were 11 years old on 9/11, and ever since we have been at war. They finished high school in 2008, just as the Great Recession began. Now they're graduating amidst a stumbling "recovery" in which unemployment remains stubbornly high, especially for those younger than 25.
In addition to its own editorials, USA TODAY publishes a variety of opinions from outside writers. On political and policy matters, we publish opinions from across the political spectrum.
Roughly half of our columns come from our Board of Contributors, a group whose interests range from education to religion to sports to the economy. Their charge is to chronicle American culture by telling the stories, large and small, that collectively make us what we are.
We also publish weekly columns by Al Neuharth, USA TODAY's founder, and DeWayne Wickham, who writes primarily on matters of race but on other subjects as well. That leaves plenty of room for other views from across the nation by well-known and lesser-known names alike.
Too much too soon
In one sense, these children of the 2000s grew up way too fast. In another they never grew up at all. As young teenagers, they were chauffeured from activity to activity, all the while plugged in to the Internet through handheld devices. Even stuck at home they were still totally "connected" to their peer ecosystem through social media. With parents, teachers and counselors focused on keeping them safe and scheduled, they have nonetheless been privy to unprecedented information from a painfully young age.
So this year's 2.6 million freshly minted college graduates (holding associate's or bachelor's degrees) and 3.2 million graduates from high school are different from their immediate elders. Most are thinking about their future more like children of the 1930s and '40s than like Gen Yers in the late '90s. Nearly half of the new grads will join the workforce in the coming months, competing for jobs with millions of people their parents' age and older.
Since 1993, I've been part of a group conducting in-depth interviews with young people in the workplace. Throughout the booming 1990s, we monitored the shift from Generation X to Generation Y. Now we are seeing a shift of equal measure to Generation Z.
What we know about Zers
So just how are they different?
Gen Zers entering the working world tell us they are dubious about their long-term prospects, but especially fearful about tomorrow.
They are less likely to resist authority than Yers, but will gravitate to people and institutions showing the ability to care for them, almost in loco parentis. Gen Zers are much less likely than Gen Yers to tell the boss when they disagree but more likely to share those views online. Gen Zers are much more likely than Gen Yers to be obedient to their immediate supervisors' rules, but more likely to persistently seek exceptions to inflexible employment conditions and seniority-based rewards.
Gen Zers have never known a world in which one could not be in conversation with anyone anywhere any time, and they have an even lower tolerance than Gen Yers for being digitally cut off. For Generation Yers, uniqueness was cool. They wanted to distinguish themselves as individuals. Generation Zers like to connect with others who share their interests and are doing the same things (through social media primarily).
Gen Zers are much less likely to fall into recognized opinion categories and much more likely to mix and match various points of view. Don't be surprised to find gun-toting vegans and religious fundamentalist feminists, political conflicts that would have isolated young people before the advent of social media.
We're about to find out just how worldly and precocious, but fragile and needy, Gen Zers really are. They'll be America's most high-maintenance workforce, a change for which we are unprepared

NYC nightlife legend, comedian, and renowned entertainer Murray Hill, "the hardest working middle-aged man in show business," is a relentless retro shtick slinger, larger-than-life personality and freewheeling ad-libber. Murray's razor sharp wit and frenetic showman antics have delighted folks worldwide for over a decade. The New York Times anointed Murray "Downtown's New 'It' Boy." He's been included in "Best of New York" lists in the Village Voice, Time Out, Paper and New York Magazine; inducted into Paper's Nightlife Hall of Fame; selected as OUT magazine's Top 100 influential performers; and named one of the top 12 gender-bending performers in NYC by Time Out.
Like most drag queens Linda Simpson was born after dark, starting out at the legendary Pyramid Club, the hub of the campy East Village scene during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Since then she has worked nightlife gigs galore as a party promoter, hostess and MC. Linda's multi-faceted career also includes publishing the underground "revolutionary gay magazine" My Comrade (founded by her alter ego Les Simpson); hosting the groundbreaking nationally broadcast cable TV show Party Talk; writing, producing and starring in four plays, all dark comedies—The Tranny Chase and The Final Episode (both at P.S. 122), The Bad Hostess (at La Mama Theatre), and The Emperor's New Codpiece (at the Laurie Beechman Theatre on 42nd Street).

Still best known for his early-'90s hits "Walking in Memphis" and "True Companion," soulful Cleveland singer-songwriter Marc Cohn released the all-covers disc Listening Booth: 1970 a few years back. We have no problem whatsoever with the idea of hearing songs like "Wild World," "Maybe I'm Amazed," "The Tears of a Clown" and "Into the Mystic" respun in Cohn's sandy tones.

"The Bachelor" Season Finale: Ben Picks Courtney!
Offering up plenty of drama, Season 16 of ABC's "The Bachelor" has come to a close - and Ben Flajnik went against all odds by choosing Courtney Robertson as his bride-to-be.
The 29-year-old got down on one knee on a mountain in Switzerland last November with a Neil Lane sparkler, telling the brunette model, "What a journey, it's been an incredible road getting to this point with you through all the ups and downs we've encountered, real signs of what could be. From our first date in Sonoma when I felt like we were on this same path, wavelengths of sorts, where we kind of understood each other."
As Robertson beamed with excitement over the proposal, Flajnik continued on, saying, "But, I promised myself that I wouldn't get down on one knee again unless I was certain that it was forever. And I want to tell you that you are my forever. I have waited a really long time to tell you that I am in love with you more than you will ever know and this whole experience and journey has been worth it every step of the way."
Though the proposal sounded like the two were madly in love, the "After The Final Rose" special told otherwise.
When Bachelor Ben joined host Chris Harrison onstage, the San Francisco winemaker said the two called off their engagement after seeing the terrible behavior of Robertson on the show.
However, after the Ford modeling beauty got her turn to tell her side of the story, she explained that being in a house full of women "brought out the worst in me."
Robertson later went on to say she felt there were trust issues between herself and Flajnik, adding that she felt "abandoned," but Ben wasn't going to let things end like that.
Before the special was over, he slipped the engagement ring back on Robertson's finger, saying, "I want to be with you. I love you. I'm not going to abandon you."

Repeat drunken driver convicted in fatal crash
Delaware -- A central Ohio man with six previous drunken-driving convictions has been found guilty of a seventh. This time, authorities say he caused a crash that killed a woman.
The Columbus Dispatch reports that 45-year-old Marc Kraft was found guilty Feb. 6 of eight counts related to the fatal November crash. He could face as much as 28 years in prison.
Police said Kraft's blood alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit when he slammed his pickup truck into the back of a Subaru stopped an at intersection in Delaware, near Columbus.
Thirty-six-year-old Heidi Hecker was killed, and her 10-month-old daughter and boyfriend were injured.
Kraft had not had a valid license since 1992, and has six previous drunken-driving convictions in Pennsylvania.

The railroad says it carried more than 210,000 passengers through Cuyahoga Valley National Park in 2012. That's up from about 160,000 riders in 2011, when it was closed for a time for track repairs, and more than 195,000 in 2010.
The scenic railroad runs trains on varying schedules throughout the year from stations between suburban Cleveland and the Akron area. The not-for-profit organization is marking its 40th year of excursion rail service.
Besides scenic trips, it also offers special events such as rides designed especially for children and beer- and wine-tasting trips for adults.

Study: Columbus has state's worst traffic
Columbus -- A national study says Columbus has the worst traffic in Ohio.
The annual Urban Mobility Report by the Texas A&M Transportation Institute calculated that the typical Columbus-area rush-hour commuter spends 40 hours a year in backed-up traffic. That's tops in the state.
The Columbus Dispatch reports the time in traffic is two hours above the national average. And it puts Columbus 25th among 101 U.S. urban areas.
The study found that a typical 20-minute trip takes about 23.5 minutes during morning and evening rush hours in the state capital.
The nation's worst commute is in the Washington, D.C. area. The easiest is in Stockton, Calif.

UPDATE 2: Suspected pellet gun shooting on 38th SW sends victim to hospital
One person being questioned
Update for 7:50 pm
Seattle Police have what they called "short of a person of interest" in the suspected BB Gun shooting on 38th SW. The incident injured one person who was taken to Harborview with a wound to the mouth but according to police, cars in the area also suffered damage, which began yesterday.
The police received a consent to search the house and conducted a search. They found a single 22 caliber rifle but determined it had not been recently fired.
This incident took place over two days with cars being damaged by projectiles. There were at least five "hits" on cars on the street according to police. They looked for the projectiles inside the vehicles but found nothing. One penetrated a window but they could not find the projectile inside.
The person being interviewed in the case is the nephew of the man who is the owner of the home. Neighbors say the uncle has lived there for more than a decade. The uncle said the boy is an eagle scout and an excellent student and "as straight as they come."
Update for 7 p.m.
Around 6:30 p.m. Seattle Police approached the home where a suspected BB-gun shooter may be holed up on the 4700 block of 385th Ave S.W. in West Seattle.
Shortly thereafter, several officers pulled back from the scene, including the heavily-armed Gang Unit.
Police have are questioning a person in the shooting and are conducting interviews in an ongoing investigation.
Original Post
Just before 5pm May 22 Seattle Police officers responded to 911 calls of a shooting at 4736 38th Ave. S.W. The victim is a 31-year-old male and according to the Seattle Fire Dept. he was likely shot with a pellet or BB Gun. He suffered a wound to the mouth.
The early reports said the victim sustained a gunshot wound while out walking his dog down the sidewalk.
According to police the victim was walking northbound on the east side of 38th Avenue SW when he was struck on the right cheek by an unknown projectile, possibly a BB (pellet).
Police said witnesses helped the victim walk down to a nearby fire station where he was treated. He was then taken to the hospital.
The area is cordoned off as police surrounded the home, where they believe the suspect may be located, and interviewed a man who stepped out of that home.

Texans to Activate Ed Reed from the PUP List
(HOUSTON) -- The Houston Texans will activate safety Ed Reed from the physically unable to perform list on Saturday.
Reed signed with the Texans in the offseason but has spent all of training camp and the preseason on the PUP list. The Texans have until 4 p.m. ET Saturday to officially remove him from the list. If they don't, Reed would be required to remain on the regular-season PUP list for at least the first six weeks of the regular season.
"He'll be back [Saturday] and we're hoping to do some field drills on Monday and Tuesday with our extra days, with him," coach Gary Kubiak said. "So we'll probably make a quick decision early in the week, Monday or Tuesday on his availability for San Diego. But we're sitting here hoping and we'll see how that goes."

Hi all, someone has told me that pups and stairs do not mix because of joint issues.
They couldn't really elaborate on it, can anyone tell me if there is any truth in this?
Hi, and welcome!
How old is your puppy? Mine started walking down and up the stairs when he reached 10 weeks old. many others had done the same and have not had any problems. be careful, do not push him to walk unless he does by himself without any problems.
This thread will help you Proper Exercise for puppies
Too many stairs too often *can* cause problems for puppies, but it isn't something that can never be done. I think one of the bigger fears is a pup jumping down a lot of stairs at once and hurting itself. Or taking a tumble and being fearful of stairs because of it.
Okay great, thanks. I don't have any immediate worries then as we don't have any stairs!

text: I suspect R may be smarter than he looks. Twice last week, he smiled big, showed me his plate proudly, and said, "may I be excused please?" Delighted, SPH or I said something like, "good work buddy, yes," only to feel dooped later… First, a little background: we aren't super stringent with R and G cleaning their plates at every meal, we merely ask that they eat a good amount. This varies from meal to meal, as we try to keep our expectations realistic based on what they are being served. While a meal of pastas or tacos might come with a "clean plate club" expectation, a new meal of salad or vegetable soup might come with a slightly more lenient approach. That being said, everything we serve R or G at meal time must be at least tried with a "no thank you" bite. Again, I like to think we keep our expectations within the realm of reasonable, but there are nights when even our barest hopes are dashed when, for some unknown reason, R and G simply decide to turn up their noses at dinner. R usually eats a good meal, but twice last week I wondered if he was coming up with a new system. Twice, in one week, after R was excused and praised for a great dinner, I discovered little treasures under the kitchen table. Goodness knows a fair amount of food ends up on our floor during meal time, so the first time I made a discovery, I cracked it up to normal dinner mess. But when it happened again two days later, I started to wonder. I am used to crumbs and the occasional errant falling piece of fruit, but whole big pieces of dinner? Hmmm… This whole wondering makes me smile in a way, since doesn't every kid go through a stage of hiding food he or she doesn't care to eat? Since we don't have a dog or other pet, and there are no large potted plants in our kitchen (both top food disposing techniques), I guess it reasons that R may or may not be using the "oops I dropped something under the table" routine to rid his plate of undesirables. Time will tell if these two "accidents" were truly such, or if I have a smarty pants 6 year old who has figured out a way to get up from the table more quickly. SPC

The government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is upset at the Obama administration for failing to support its efforts to create war and instability in the Middle East. Israel officials admit their government will NOT ask permission or even inform the US government if the decision is made to launch air attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities. Israel leaders either don't want the US to be blamed for their folly or they do not wish to listen to further advice concerning Iran and nnuclear weapons. US military leaders oppose such attacks as does the entire Obama administration.
Bibi Netanyahu is frustrated. There is no indication of support from the White House, US military leaders, or US security officials for attacks on Iranian facilities. Secretary of State Clinton and President Obama wish to continue economic sanctions. US Intelligence officials have not found any evidence that Iran will immediately develop nuclear weapons. But, Bibi is adamant. After all, his policies transformed a close alliance with Turkey into an angry conflict and he has antagonized the Palestinian Authority.
Well, when one like Bibi is being ordered by God to behave like a bull in a china shop, what can one expect??

Tuesday November 5th, 2013 1:44am
While traveling through New York this summer on one of several trips to the Empire State, ILGear.com ran into Tim Youngs, who along with his brother, Kevin, operates Youngs Brothers Lacrosse, a longtime lacrosse operation in Canton, New York.
For many years, Tim and Kevin have been a leading provider of stick stringing services to the major lacrosse manufacturers, most recently for Warrior and Brine. The Youngs Brothers are deeply involved in the game and have been for decades, as players, coaches and highly skilled stick doctors.
When we met up with Tim in Syracuse at the Empire State Cup, and he showed us a couple examples of Trad Mesh, a patent-pending concept that combines elements of traditional and mesh pockets. It turns out the concept came from Dave White, who played lacrosse at Brown University in the 1970s (roommates with Dom Starsia along the way) and played on three Iroquois Nationals world teams (1978, 1982, 1986).
"The idea came from Dave," Tim said. "It's an idea he's had in his head for quite a while. We sat down one day and starting talking about some things. He asked me, 'Can we bring this to life?'"
White had sketched some drawings of what he was thinking, and Tim turned the idea over to his brother, Kevin. Before long had created exactly what White had envisioned, which was a pocket that would function in a way that ultimately gives the player outstanding feel and control of the ball. As master stringers with more than two decades of high-level experience in the industry, stringing for major companies and college lacrosse teams across the country, the end result is something both Tim and Kevin believe players will appreciate.
"I want a guy to be able to pick up a stick and have it be dependable," Tim said. "To me, there is nothing better than traditional. But today so many kids want to use mesh. There are so many kids who have never used a traditional pocket — one, because they have no one to string one, and two, because they don't know how to take care of it."
We found that if you put mesh in at the top (of a traditional pocket), you get the best of both worlds. You get a consistent feel, over and over. With Trad Mesh, you get a great feel for where the ball sits. It sits right in the diamonds, doesn't bang around and when you throw, you get that smooth, consistent release you'd get with a mesh pocket."
Tim said he didn't want Trad Mesh to be just another gimmick pocket. So he's put dozens of samples in the hands of professionals and nearby box players, and the feedback has been consistently positive.
"They are finding they like the mid-to-high pocket and the smooth transition it gives you. The ball's there and then it's gone."
Youngs Brothers and White have a patent for the pocket in the works, and you'll be seeing different variations on the Trad Mesh pocket on ILGear.com. For now, take a look at this Warrior Evo 3 (box pinched) with an Iroquois color scheme. You can see this Trad Mesh pocket is strung with purple nylon runners, black/white cross lace, yellow shooters and sidewall and purple hard mesh at the top. Stay tuned for more from the Youngs Brothers.

As iPad was released, a lots of developers already started up their engines to create thousands or even millions of different apps, so the financial ones will be there too.
The good thing about the iPad that on the first run, we do not know for what we can use it. The developers themselves are exhaustively thinking about it, to find a good idea and create a killer app, so somebody will pay for eventually.
There are already
few financial apps available for the iPad, and I can imagine some more.
My expectations for the financial app category for iPad:
What would you expect from the iPad?
József- not specific apps but a category shift. Devices like the iPad/iPhone will be the norm for online banking within 5 years. Banking at the desktop or via laptop will be seen as the second best option. The apps on those devices will dissolve the boundaries
between channels - online, voice, video, messaging, and email will be seamlessly merged. Rich interfaces will be the norm. There will be challenges to meet this demand, especially with security and call-centre agent skills.
Chris, I agree with you, touch technology based devices are radically changing the expectations of the users about how softwares should work. Simplicity and visualization are the two key elements to be intuitive in my opinion. An
interesting TEDcast on something similar.
As with other 'mobile devices', sending emails + attachments will become the norm, and with it the potentially expensive risk of accidental document metadata leakage - unless the firm is thinking ahead to metadata cleaning at server level.

Most people think of transparency as almost the opposite showmanship. Most people are wrong.
Transparency is letting prospective customers see through to whatever they feel they need to verify in order to confidently give you their money. Or to at least take that next step toward doing business with you.
But a lot of persuasive techniques help build confidence in the prospect. The difference is that transparency creates confidence in highly skeptical or suspicious prospects, in situations where most other persuasive techniques simply wouldn't work. "Seeing is believing," and all that — it's powerful stuff.
So the less trust, the more you need transparency. When the police officer pulls you over, he's not going to take it on faith that you don't have a gun — he wants you to keep your freakin' hands where he can see them. He demands transparency.
Simple, right? But like most buzzwords "transparency" is most misunderstood by the very people mouthing it most often, to the point that they're oblivious to the proper way to use this persuasive tool in marketing small and medium-sized businesses.
And for the record, the proper way is the way that not only creates trust, but also increases profits. The proper way requires transparency AND showmanship.
Transparency Becomes Showmanship?
Here's what I mean: If you owned a wood-fired pizza joint, and advertised it as such, most customers would believe you, even if they couldn't see the oven when they walked in the door. Even if you put the oven in the back.
But they wouldn't believe with anything near the confidence they'd have if you had that brick, wood-fired oven right out where everyone could see it, so that they could see the wood logs amidst the open flames, and watch while you actively slid raw pizzas in and cooked pizzas out. Nor would they pay you as much money for your pizzas if they couldn't actually see it all for themselves. Transparency makes the difference.
That's a great example of the RIGHT use of transparency. But is it ONLY transparency?
Or does rearranging your restaurant to feature a highly visible oven lean closer to showmanship than just plain transparency? When does "letting people see" become "making sure people notice and care about the difference"?
Openly kneading the pizza in the front of the restaurant transparently proves that the pizza dough is fresh made. Spinning and tossing it in the air ensures customers get the message (in an entertaining and enjoyable way) through a bit of showmanship. I rather doubt that hand-tossed pizza actually tastes better than hand-made-but-non-tossed pizza. Or that seeing the wood oven makes the pizza taste better than if the oven was in the back. But most people are willing to pay more for these things.
Bottom Line: transparency won't get you were you really want to go without a little help from showmanship.
OK, but this is Tuesday, so how am I going make this into a Practical How-To?
2 Steps to Transparency & Showmanship
Ask yourself:
1. What strategic difference are you trying to convey to prospects?
What value-added activity or secret ingredient or qualitative difference is your company using to justify your premium pricing? What experiential difference are you hoping to convey that would further justify your price premium in the eyes of the customer?
2. How can I use transparency to transfer confidence & showmanship to add emotional voltage?
Now that you're clear on what you need the customer to believe in order to happily pay you more money than your competitors, how can you use a bit of transparency to PROVE your claims. And then ask: how can you add some flair, drama, and emotional punch to the presentation of it all?
And because this is Tactical Practical Tuesday, here are some examples of how you might work through this exercise:
Example 1: Service Company/HVAC
Strategic Difference and Value Add: Our HVAC Company Has Better Trained Techs and Offers a More Thorough Tune-Up for Less Money.
Transparency Practices: When HVAC technicians perform a tune-up, do they show the customer the parts they replaced? And I mean that on both ends — do they show them the shiny new part that's going in, and do they show them the rusty, dirty, and worn old part that came out? That's a good use of transparency.
Showmanship: Might the HVAC technicians make a show of taking the brand new parts out of the plastic bag or packaging they came in. And perhaps make a bit of a show of visually inspecting the part to make sure it's right? Better yet, perhaps maybe lubricating or adjusting the thing prior to installation?
Or if there's no part to replace, do they take before and after photos on their smart phones to show the client? Do they note the sound of the A/C unit as it stains away prior to the visit and point out the sweeter pitch of the system after the tune-up?
Example 2: Shoe Company or Bicycle Store
Strategic Difference and Value Add: Fit & Customization of brands that can't be bought (or at least can't be fit) by big box and online commoditizers
Transparency Practices: Posting the 7-point measurement and fit analysis used to provide a customer match between runner (or cyclist) and shoe (or bike). Showing the customer the tools and the measurements at each stage and how those go into figuring out the best fit.
Showmanship: Examining the old shoe and showing the wear patterns to the prospect. Explaining how, if the bought a shoe with the wrong last, what can happen to their foot or running gait or muscles and tendons. Investing in a piece of equipment that can pressure analyze a runner's actual, in-motion gait. Making a big deal out of that in-motion analysis.
Putting testimonials and pictures of happy clients on the wall. Displaying letters of appreciation from the manufacturers themselves. If Abraham Hyde will go on record as saying your store embodies the real spirit of Saucony shoes, for example, posting that up or even posting a pull-quote from the man would be a perfect piece of showmanship. You might also consider showing off pictures of yourself as a young runner, from back in the day. Showing off the tangible evidence of your own cycling adventures is a great way to allow people see and verify your passion for what you sell.
Showmanship & Imputed Quality = Fatter Profit Margins
Transparency without Showmanship is a wasted effort. It's like building a high quality product that doesn't impute quality. Smart, profitable companies invest in showmanship and imputed quality.
Is your company going to be one of them?

Shure M91ED........... any good?
Night Wolf
Feb 17, 2003 11:17 PM
Hey all, just wondering what your thoughts on the M91ED was, I know Shure dosn't make it anymore, but overall, is it a good cart.?
and what woudl you recomend as a upgrade from a M91ED in the $60 range or so..... you know best bang for buck?
I ask this becasue my tt has a M91ED on it, and I got a new stylus for it. really have no bais to compare it to, other then the fact that my tt w/ shure cart, when we hooked it up to my fathers DJ system sound better then his vintage Sony table w/ Stanton cart. (proably due to the fact that his Stanton is a pro. DJ cart, and not home audio) but I was just starting to brainstorm differn't makes and models to go with, I am not too familer with them, so I would nee your help, I would be looking at the $60 range, and maybe stretching it to $80 or so it it means much better sound. also should I stay with Shure when I upgrade? or what are the other better brands (I was looking at needledoctor.com and there was alot of cart.s around $60 form differnce brands)
not a particularly great one
Feb 18, 2003 7:35 AM
i had one and it just didnt sing. it wasnt mounted on a sme or anything (dual 1215) but a cheeeeep adc sounded way better.
today, shure is doing a much better job. the m94 is in your price range and should be pretty good based on the reception given the m97xe ($80-100-try garage-a-records). the grado black is a sure bet if you dont have a rega or dual. other cartridge sources are ewsaunders.com, kabusa.com and the garage. most of these have better pricing/shipping rates than the doctor.
not a particularly great one

Feb 18, 2003 10:03 AM
my tt is a BSR 810 Transcrition, it was perhaps BSR's best TT made to be in direct competition with the Dual 1219 (AFA performance)
I got my table at Good Will for $4 w/ the Shure, so I have no complaints (new stylus was $9 at PartsExpress) how much in crease in performance am I look at going from a M91ED to a M94?
here is a picture of my table...... not the best picture I have, but you can see the whole thing pretty well.

Hey, Night Wolf, it looks like your tonearm is raised quite a bit at the back end. Is the VTA adjustable and have you tried changing it?
re: Shure M91ED........... any good?
Feb 23, 2003 5:13 AM
The Shure M91ED was an excellent second tier performer when it was manufactured in the early 1970s. It was second only to the manufacturer's top of the line V 15 Type II improved which was considerably more expensive. I had several M91EDs and a V15 myself.
Shure focused on several things.
Trackability, the ability of the stylus to accurately follow the groove without distortion at low tracking force minimizing record wear and distortion.
Flat and extended frequency response, dampening the high frequency peak common to many magnetic cartridges. The sound is often described on wide range systems as "neutral" meaning neither dull nor bright. Sound systems with a high frequency rolloff might sound better with a brighter cartridge. Personally I would use other means to correct frequency response problems than selecting a cartridge but it's one way.
The Stanton DJ cartridge like anybody's DJ cartridge is designed primarily to survive the incredible abuse it is expected to endure. High compliance low mass for high trackability and dampening out high frequency peaks is the last thing the manufacturer would worry about. The Shure stylus is quite fragile. The Stanton isn't. The Stanton's output is probably greater too.
Development's in phono cartridges have been evolutionary rather than revolutionary. It would be surprising if there weren't improvements over thirty years especially in an era of great technological advance. Personally, I like Shure very much myself. I would expect some improvements but not miracles. Are the tangeable benefits of progress worth the cost of a new cartridge? Sorry I can't help you there.
i bought the hype and rhetoric of the review
Feb 23, 2003 8:51 AM
of the m91ed and didnt realize there was much more to life than trackability. changing to the adc XLM was a revelation. in comparison, the shure sounded lifeless, the adc otoh produced MUSIC.
the latest shures have overcome this limitation and are much more musical.
Trakability is not hype
Feb 23, 2003 9:13 AM
It has to do with harmonic distortion and record wear. It depends on mechanical parameters such as compliance, dynamic mass, stylus geometry, resonances. Frequency response depends to some extent on electrical parameters and can be fiddled with with by the manufacturer. Don't be deluded into thinking that because a cartridge is brighter it is necessarily better. You can change that with an equalizer.
Trakability is not the issue
Feb 23, 2003 10:34 PM
the way a cartridge SOUNDS is a very large factor. when i went to an ADC XLM, not only did the sound take a leap, but the adc tracked high energy cymbals with more accuracy.
i assure you, the XLM wasnt brighter than the shure, just way better sounding.
if one were brighter, i would suspect it was mistracking anyway.and sounding better isnt necessarily about frequency response either. record wear has more to do with a stylus NOT mistracking than how low the tracking force is.
the adc specs rated it at 0.75-1.5 gr. in an average arm, 1.5 did the job, in a superior arm, 1.0. soundwise, the adc stood head and shoulders above the shure at the proper tracking force. even the v15III was not preferable to the adc. not until the V did shure compete in the sonic war.
Trakability is not the issue
Feb 24, 2003 5:29 AM
I do not disagree that ADC made some outstanding performing cartridges to compete with the best of Shure and Empire. I am glad you didn't include Audio Technia in there, I thought that their cartridges sounded awful. Each brand had its own sonic signiture independent of other factors such as trackability and in that regard, selecting a cartridge is as personal a choice as selecting a loudspeaker. In fact, it often boiled down to a matter of finding a good match to the other equipment you used. Of the three companies, as far as I can tell, only Shure is still in business possibly owing their success to some degree to the widespread professional acceptance of their microphones and their very popular teleconference microphones. Any Idea what happend to the other two? ADC was bought by BSR which seems to have disappeared. Empire I think was bought by a Swiss company and then it also disappeared.
I always found one of the most useful lab test data items in the old magazine reviews of cartridges to be the square wave response. I especially looked for signs of ringing. Does anybody still publish that kind of data? You'd have to go back into archives if you could find them to check what the labs found for these old models.
In the mid 1970s ADC manufactured one of the most unique products ever, the Accutrack turntable (sounds like the name of a safety razor doesn't it.) It was semiautomatic and had an infra red source and sensor in the arm that would allow it to be programmed to play different tracks automatically by finding the spaces between them. There was an episode of Columbo which featured Theodore Bikel as the murderer in which the Accutrack played a key role as evidence.

Shooing is GREAT therapy! Whenever I'm stressed out, I headfor the range. It's a geat combination of focus, and absolute agression.
I'm also a golfer, and yes, each squeeze is like each swing. You have to forget about your last shot. If your last "flier" is on your mind, on the course, or at the range, your next shot will suffer.
What I'm really looking forward to is taking my XD 45 north with me to NY and shooting there, in the wide-open spaces. My Uncle has a gong-range or steel plates. Nothing beats lead-on-steel for stress relief...

Hello New Members!
We're very happy to have you with us at GhostStudy!
You may notice that once you get your validation email,
and you try to login to post on the board, you will get an error
message. Everything was fine and you could read the topics
when you weren't signed in, but that changes once you login.
Here is the reason why:
The reason you are having issues is twofold. Number one, is that
all new accounts must be manually validated by a
board administrator before a new member can be
active on the board. Account validation can take between
24-48 hours depending upon the administrators schedules.
Currently, we have only 2 administrators that validate accounts,
and we get between 300-500 accounts signed up a day. Of those,
approximately 10-20 of them are actually legitimate accounts.
So it does take awhile for us to sift through all the accounts to
separate the bogus accounts from the legitimate accounts.
The reason you cannot access your profile after your account
is validated, is because new members will not have access to
the pm or profile view system until they have 30 posts to their
names. As you will see, your account when you first join the
board will be under the title of "False Positive". Once you hit
that magic number, you will have access to all features and
functions of the board. And trust us, it really doesn't take
very long to hit that number!
We do realize this can be a bit of an inconvenience, but unfortunately
it is a necessary evil, because as the saying goes, one bad apple
spoils the whole bunch. The board was hacked a few years ago,
and it took a few months to get all if our information back. We are not willing
to go through that again!
I hope that explains everything, and of course, my email inbox is
always open should any new members have any questions. I generally
try to get back to you within the hour after you send the email, but with
a full time job, an active toddler and a family, sometimes it may take longer,
but fear not! I will get back to you!
My email is:
We hope you enjoy it here as much as we all do!

Humidifying Your Guitar
The single most important thing you can do to protect your guitar is to learn about humidity control. As a custom guitar maker and authorized repairman for many guitar manufacturers, I have all too often seen the serious damage caused by lack of moisture in the home.
Most acoustic guitars are built in a relative humidity (RH) range of 45%-50%. This range is right in the middle of the average yearly climate swing in countries where guitar is most popular. The danger to your guitar occurs during the fall, winter, and early spring heating seasons. The colder it is outside, and the more you need to heat your home, the drier the air becomes in your home. It can often drop to less than half of the RH of the factory.
When the RH in your home drops to 35% or lower, look out! The guitars top will start to sink in, the neck angle can change, cracks often occur in the top, the bridge can lift from the top, and action will drop, causing fret buzz. Most guitar manufacturers will not honor warranties if you allow your guitar to dry out like this, and the resulting repairs can be very expensive. And in the guitar body humidity control device like the Planet Waves Acoustic Guitar Humidifier is essential if you want your guitar to be safe and healthy.
This device will protect your guitar even in the driest environments, provided that you keep it adequately filled with water. The thing I like most about the Planet Waves humidifier is that you can't overfill it. Once a week, just squeeze in water with the included syringe (over the sink) and excess water will vent out of the unit. Wipe it dry and you're all set! I can't stress enough how important this is. Individual homes and regions will vary, but check your Planet Waves Humidifier often to keep it moist!
For those of you who wish to really be on top of this issue, a humidity meter called a hygrometer is available in many stores, catalogs and guitar supply companies. These range from $15 to $150, but even a simple one will tell you the RH fairly accurately. Planet Waves offers a combination kit that pairs the humidifier with their new digital Humidity/Temperature Sensor.
I tell my customers their guitars are happiest above 40% RH. Less expensive, laminated (plywood) guitars are less prone to severe damage from dryness, but still benefit from a humidifier for overall health, action, and tone.
You should not use a humidity device in the spring and summer when the heat is off, unless your home is very dry due to desert climate or extreme air conditioning. Though some of your guitars may swell a bit in the humid summer months, it is temporary and all will be fine. However, if your guitar is left in an environment that is too dry, you could be in trouble, and the scars from the resulting damage won't go away.
Now go make some great music and protect those guitars!
