Youk goes deep, but Yanks can't contain Prince, Tigers
After Nova's inefficient day, 'pen allows three shots in opener in Detroit
DETROIT -- The first of Prince Fielder's homers was hit with such force, the hissing bottle rocket pelted a fan in the chest and dropped him to the concourse. The second was crushed so convincingly, no outfielder felt the need to move more than a step.
It was an impressive power display, but the Yankees were in no mood to applaud Fielder's five-RBI day. Their fortunes at Comerica Park have not improved much from last year's American League Championship Series, as they were handed an 8-3 defeat by the Tigers on Friday.
"You don't make too much out of one start or a couple outings," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "Sometimes guys get off to slow starts, sometimes guys get off to fast starts. You really have to look at their body of work over the course of a year."
Thus far, you'd say things are starting slowly. The Yankees' playoff hopes ended here last October in a four-game sweep, and fielding an injury-depleted lineup for the first four contests to begin 2013, victories have already proven to be in short supply.
The list of the Yanks' walking wounded grew on Friday when Eduardo Nunez was drilled in the right biceps by an 88-mph Doug Fister fastball. Nunez howled in pain and feared he had broken his arm, but X-rays were negative and the shortstop is being considered day to day.
That is a rare tidbit of good news for the Yanks, who used Jayson Nix at shortstop for the rest of the afternoon and may consider trying to squeak by with catcher Francisco Cervelli as an emergency infielder until Nunez is ready to return.
"I feel very sad about all my teammates, you know?" Nunez said. "The injuries [are] coming to this team so fast."
Perhaps the Yankees were showing signs of fatigue following a quick turnaround from Thursday's game against the Red Sox in New York, although they couldn't have drawn much energy from Ivan Nova's ineffective start.
Nova vowed that he wanted to attack the strike zone, hoping to wipe clean the memories of a second half that saw him left off last year's playoff rosters, but the right-hander showed flashbacks of that same inefficiency in tossing just 53 of 96 pitches for strikes.
"It's the first one. Of course you want to start the season in a good way," Nova said. "Personally, I don't feel like I pitched that bad. I was throwing a lot of balls and getting into too deep counts, but it's the first start of the year."
Girardi said that Nova's collection of three-ball counts -- six of them his first time through the order -- escalated his pitch count in a hurry.
"He had to work really hard to get to where he was at," Girardi said. "When you get in those long counts, those 3-1 and 3-2, they're going to be able to put some pretty good swings on you and your pitch count is going to grow quickly. That's what happened today."
Detroit built a quick two-run lead as Miguel Cabrera notched a run-scoring fielder's choice in the first inning and Andy Dirks came around to score after a leadoff walk to open the second inning, driven home by Omar Infante's single to right field.
The Yankees' offense showed signs of life in the fifth, claiming the lead as Brett Gardner raced home on a Fister wild pitch and Kevin Youkilis slugged his first home run in a New York uniform, a two-run shot to left-center field.
Youkilis became the 67th player to homer in both a Yankees and Red Sox uniform, but it offered just a short-lived advantage. Nova allowed a single, a walk and a hit-by-pitch in the fifth inning, exiting with two on and two out.
"I was trying to attack the strike zone," Nova said. "I felt like the stuff was there, but I couldn't get it done."
Neither could Boone Logan, who relieved and watched Fielder mash his second pitch on a rope into the right-field seats.
"I was just attacking them," Logan said. "First-pitch strike with the slider, and then I was trying to go down and away with the heater. The pitch was way out of the zone, but it looked like he was sitting hard, and he was able to get to it."
Alex Avila added a solo blast in the sixth off Shawn Kelley, and Fielder unloaded on a majestic two-run shot off Kelley in the seventh to confirm that the rout was indeed on.
"I was just excited to put our team ahead," Fielder said. "Anytime you get some runs for your team, it's always exciting."
Drew Smyly pitched four innings of scoreless relief behind Fister for a breezy save, the first of his career.
Already tiring of a theme of questioning that has proven common early in this season, Girardi again rejected the suggestion that his team should just try to hold the fort until reinforcements arrive from the disabled list.
"[The goal is] to win. Bottom line," Girardi said. "I've been asked this question a few times. It's to win games. I still believe we have a team that can go out and play well and win games. That's our goal."

Acxiom To Acquire LiveRamp For $310M
Data analytics vendor Acxiom Corp. has agreed to acquire LiveRamp Inc. for $310 million in cash.
LiveRamp, which competes against Acxiom with software that unifies customer data across a variety of applications, had raised $32 million in venture funding, according to Paul Santinelli, a partner at North Bridge Venture Partners.
The company is expected to help Acxiom, whose market cap is more than $2 billion, to bring more offline data online.
Acxiom, which has been working with Google Inc. to tie online search ads to physical sales, according to The Wall Street Journal, will gain a team of about 70 Big Data engineers. One goal is to take "offline CRM-based data and ingest it into Hadoop and make it available for online marketing for those customers," Mr. Santinelli said.
LiveRamp, which has about 200 customers, was doubling in revenue year over year and was not looking to be acquired, he said. The deal represents a return of between 4x and 5x to North Bridge's seventh fund and is expected to close in mid-summer.
LiveRamp Chief Executive Auren Hoffman will continue to lead the LiveRamp team.

They were great antagonists of the Cold War, the avowedly Red-hating American president and the world's most powerful communist.
Yet when Richard Nixon hosted Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev for a summit in June 1973, their private exchanges had the casual, meandering comity of old friends.
Meeting his Soviet counterpart privately in the Oval Office, with only a translator accompanying them, Nixon said the world's safety hinged on their mutual trust.
"Mr. Brezhnev and I have the key, and I think that our personal relationship will unlock the door," Nixon said. He did not tell Brezhnev that they were being tape-recorded.
The exchange, the only known recording of a superpower summit, is part of the last 340 hours of Nixon's secret White House tapes — the final major portion of a singular informational trove in presidential history.
In all, the 17-year release of Nixon's tapes represents about 3,700 hours of surreptitiously recorded conversations in the White House and at Camp David, Md. They reveal a president who is at times reflective, profane, self-pitying and intent on destroying political rivals such as Ted Kennedy.
But the final tapes show a different side of Nixon: An outspoken cold warrior who was trying to reduce tensions between the U.S. and the Communist world.
The 94 new tapes, released Wednesday by the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum in Yorba Linda, reflect Nixon's conversations from April 9, 1973, to July 12, 1973, shortly before his secret taping system was exposed and discontinued.
During the period reflected in the new tapes, Nixon was fighting to keep the Watergate scandal from destroying his presidency. He had talks with world leaders such as Willy Brandt of West Germany and Haile Selassie of Ethiopia. His concerns ranged from the Vietnam peace settlement to the ongoing standoff in the town of Wounded Knee, S.D.
The weeklong summit with Brezhnev followed Nixon's visit to Moscow the year before. In their Oval Office meeting on June 18, 1973, Brezhnev invoked Russian folklore and declared it a good omen that it had been raining in Moscow when he left. And it was "a double, extra good omen" that it was also raining in Washington, D.C.
Nixon seemed amused by Brezhnev's cigarette box, which had a special timer that only allowed him to retrieve a cigarette at intervals. "That's a way to discipline yourself," Nixon said.
Apologetically, Brezhnev said he had hoped to bring some of his family to America with him, but his wife had taken ill and his grandson had university entrance exams. He said he hoped for a "gentleman's agreement" on key issues, and to cultivate a "real, lasting relationship between our two countries."
Brezhnev remarked on the size and power of the United States and the Soviet Union, and said he hoped to deliver a speech in which he would "crush" the theory that the two superpowers were inevitably antagonistic.
"Are we to blame for being big? Are we to blame for being strong?" Brezhnev said. "Neither the United States nor the Soviet Union can turn themselves into a Luxembourg, where the entire army is made up of 78 policemen."
Brezhnev said he looked forward to meeting Nixon soon at Casa Pacifica, Nixon's San Clemente home, an invitation the Russian leader had initially resisted. "I like to hear the sound of the sea," Brezhnev said.
"This is an amazing conversation," said Luke Nichter, a professor at Texas A&M University-Central Texas who studies Nixon's secret tapes. "They're talking about ending the threat of nuclear war in the world. What strikes me is how much they agree on the need for the biggest nations to get along with each other."
Timothy Naftali, former director of the Nixon Library who is now a fellow at the New America Foundation, a Washington, D.C., think tank, said the conversation with Brezhnev reflected "a friendly banality, rather than a restatement of Cold War rhetoric."
Though Nixon had become a hero to the conservative right in the 1940s and 1950s as a fierce anti-communist, the right had criticized him harshly for his visit to communist China in early 1972. "By the early '70s, he is looking for ways to reduce international tension," Naftali said.
The new tapes reflect Nixon's thinking on China a year after his visit, with his understanding that an aging Mao Tse-tungwould not be in power much longer.
In a May 3, 1973, meeting, Nixon asked veteran diplomat David K.E. Bruce to infiltrate the Chinese social world and evaluate up-and-coming leaders, saying he believed "the Chinese-American relationship can be the great linchpin of peace in the world."
Nixon said he saw the Chinese as potentially "the ablest people in the world." He cautioned his diplomat that the Chinese were "very subtle," explaining: "They're not like the Russians, who of course slobber at flattery and all that sort of thing."
He instructed Bruce to report to him through back channels, avoiding the State Department and its feared propensity to leak.
"I'm supposed to be the No. 1 Red-baiter in the country," Nixon said. "I have earned that reputation for what you know very well. Had we just continued the policy of just a silent confrontation and almost non-communication with the [People's Republic of China] … in the end we would reap a nuclear war. No question."
On April 30, 1973, Nixon spoke by phone to top aide H.R. "Bob" Haldeman, who along with aide John Ehrlichman had just been forced to resign by the Watergate scandal. Both of them would be convicted of conspiracy and obstruction of justice.
"Hope I didn't let you down," Nixon told Haldeman, adding: "God damn it, I'm never gonna discuss this son of a bitch Watergate thing again. Never, never, never, never." He said, "You're a strong man, God damn it. And I love you. And I, I love John and all the rest and by God, keep the faith."
The day after, Nixon tells Rep. Gerald Ford that firing his aides was "the most painful thing I've ever done," adding: "But they had to be sacked."
"It just made me sit there, damn near cry, because I knew the problem it was, and I think both of them have done a good job," Ford replied. "Despite one of these, these damn critics."
Nixon's secret tapes helped drive him from office the next year; Ford, who had become vice president after the resignation of Spiro Agnew, assumed the presidency and granted him a pardon.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — A significant bust and a round of spot-checks Halloween weekend have led to more than 30 citations against minors using fake identification in an attempt to gain access to bars during the month of October.
"Physically they look exactly like a regular state driver's license," Morgantown Police Chief Ed Preston said Tuesday on MetroNews "Talkline" with Hoppy Kercheval. "We're having to actually physically examine them and look at various things on them."
Khalifa Internet To Transitions 360wise News 360wisemedia Talk Sports Star Mia video Radio Ex-porn Preston said law enforcement in Monongalia County met with officials from the Alcohol Beverage Control Administration (ABC) and bar owners in Morgantown and the surrounding county to try and come up with a solution to the ongoing issue of fake ID's — particularly newer, much more difficult to detect fake ID's.
"At the beginning of the school year, we did a lot of compliance checks on a lot of the different ABC-licensed establishments — off premises and on premises — and we had a lot of violations," Preston said.
That resulted in a commitment of more law enforcement resources, along with the use of electronic readers, to weeding out fake identification.
"We found that, because of this, [bar owners] are trying to protect their licenses and keep underage people from entering their bars," Preston said. "They've been very cooperative with us towards this end."
The full bust and the round of spot-checks led to 31 total arrests from a number of different U.S. states. The penalty includes a $500.00 fine and a suspension of driving privileges, a ramification Preston said potential violators should be aware of before making a decision they'll regret.
Khalifa Internet To Transitions 360wise News 360wisemedia Talk Sports Star Mia video Radio Ex-porn "You put yourself at risk, not only for criminal penalties, but use of a fake ID also results in loss of a driver's license," Preston said.
Preston said some citations are a result of people borrowing or lending out ID, but that a number of these busts are from violators using a foreign web service to build custom fake identification.
"Driver's license, state ID's, military ID's, just about anything that you could probably think of," Preston said. "All 50 states, Puerto Rico, and all the other U.S. territories we are starting to see."Due District Columbia Changes c D Of Confusion To Dmv
Preston said WVU and a number of other local institutions — both in and out of state — also agreed to implement disciplinary measures for those caught in violation.
The Morgantown Police Department issued a public service announcement Oct. 17 on the enforcement changes.

I used to be an elephant - okay, not literally, but I had the memory of one. Despite working two jobs, working on a dissertation and balancing a household, I seemed to rarely forget anything. I'm not exaggerating here.
My husband has a more-than-horrible memory, so I used to remember things for two – and with great ease. Then the MonSter paid a visit. It took out the elephant with one, easy swoop. These days, I'm lucky to remember how to get home at the end of the night. But have no fear! Wonder Post-It-Notes are here!
While I'd like to solely credit my brain for its wondrous memory power for the first 39 years of my life, I can't. I remembered things because I also took notes along the way. Here and there, I'd jot myself a little reminder. I'd call my office phone and leave myself voice mail messages. My Outlook calendar tracked my every move – and that of my husband — so I could remind him of his obligations; personal and professional. I carried a shopping list to the grocery store, just like most every other shopper roaming the aisles. In fact, the shopping list is a big item of contention in our house. "Honey, we need toilet paper." "Put it on the list!" "Sweetie, we're out of coffee creamer!" "Well, put it on the darn list!" The list is always in the same place in the kitchen. Shouting to me from one room to another about what needs to be purchased isn't going to get the item on the list – especially these days. Just write it down. (Maybe the hubby has a note-phobia)? And if it's not on the list, don't even call me when I'm in the store. I'm not buying something unless it's on the list. So much for Phase I of reinvention. Note to self: Try relinquishing control of the shopping list next week.
I tried to help my husband with the concept of writing notes. He tried diligently, but then would forget to take the note with him when he left the house. You can't remember to do what's on the note if you can't even remember to take the note along. There are times I would even hand the note to him as he's walked out the door, certain that my extra effort would help. Later, when I would leave for work, I'd often see the note sitting on the dryer in the laundry/mud room. Of course he had to put the note down to put on his coat and shoes. Short of pinning the note to his jacket and turning him into a first-grader, I decided to give up on the note idea with the hubby. I had enough memory for both of us - no problem.
Until I forgot my Aunt's birthday for the first time since I was old enough to make her a birthday card. A few weeks before my diagnosis, despite the ever-present shopping list, my purchases were all mixed up. Tom and I would argue when I returned from the store, forgetting a few items, and bringing home the wrong versions of others. "I said sugar-free, not fat free. I wrote Maxwell House, not Folgers." And, sure enough, the list would confirm. But the items I selected were wrong. I'd be in tears, swearing that I took my time and looked for what was on the list. A week or so into my official diagnosis, I began catching myself asking person-after-person, "Did I already tell you that?" I'd have to walk back to my office three times before a meeting, each time picking up something else that I forgot to take with me the first or second time. Of course, this is all in addition to forgetting words, searching my mind for nouns and verbs to fill my sentences, and experiencing bizarre dyslexic-like moments. What I'm talking about today is true forgetfulness.
So, I've ramped up my note writing. Post-It-Notes are everywhere. The other day in a meeting with one of my staff, I jumped up several times, from the couch to my desk, to write myself a note. Something in our conversation spurred a thought and I knew I just had to write it down right away or the thought would vanish. Eventually I got smart and just brought the sticky note pad over to the couch with me. There are Post-Its on our fridge and cupboards – with notes for both me and the hubby. Yellow reminders jump out at me from the screen of my laptop and the top of my desk. Two reside on the base of my Living Sunshine – to remind me: "I.A.R." and "Write your blog article for tomorrow." I hide them in my make-up bag because I know I have to look in there several times a day. When I can't remember if I left myself a note, I'll call both home and work and leave myself silly messages. And I now stop rolling my eyes each time my husband forgets the newspaper at work. I can now relate and I certainly can't badger him now that I've come over to the dark side.
An MS patient posted a question on one of our discussion boards a week or so ago. He was heading to a job interview and was petrified that he wouldn't remember answers to questions, parts of his work history, even his own address. He really wanted the job and didn't want to have to disclose that he has MS (as explanation for his forgetfulness). Lots of ideas were thrown his way. Even people without MS get nervous in job interviews. Nervousness can cause forgetfulness, too.
I posted a suggestion that I thought might help MS patients and nervous interviewees alike. I suggested that he write out key words to interview answers on a ledger pad. Maybe even type them up, in a large font, so they are easy to read. We all know the "major" interview questions, so why not prepare ahead of time? Using a bulleted-list, I suggested that he prepare in advance. I also suggested that he keep his resume at his fingertips, too. Of course, I recommended that he keep all of his papers organized in some sort of carrier so he wasn't flailing about, ruffling pages and pages of notes, irritating the interviewer in the process. Post-It-Notes aren't the answer for this particular situation.
The way I see it, this fella will appear to be organized, thoughtful, and well prepared for his meeting. I told him to explain the purpose of his notes very simply. How often do we all leave meetings, walk out the door, and then slap ourselves on the forehead, saying, "I should have said this, I should have done that"? I told him to tell the interviewer that he valued the person's time very much and wanted to be sure that he didn't forget anything important during their short time together.
I don't know if he landed the job, or if he even took my advice to heart. Heck, maybe he even forgot my advice when he got home. "What did that redhead tell me to do to prepare for my interview tomorrow?" "Was she even a redhead?" Don't feel bad, fella, I check the mirror several times a day to be sure myself!

Twitter Popularity Up 1,382 Percent Since Last Year
If the constant coverage of Twitter hasn't convinced you, Twitter is popular.
Visits to Twitter have increased 1,382 percent since last year - from 475K unique visitors in February 2008 to 7 million in February 2009, according to Nielsen.
That growth signals that the micro-blogging site is no longer just a platform for friends to stay connected in real-time; it is now an important component of brand marketing, Nielsen said. Whether that signals the real beginning of the Twitter story or the beginning of the end remains to be seen.
The numbers also make Twitter the fastest growing member community destination for February. Rounding out the top three are Zimbio.com, with 240 percent growth, and Facebook, with 228 percent growth from last year.
Who is Tweeting? Adults between the ages of 35 and 49 comprise almost 42 percent of the site's audience - and about 62 percent of them are accessing the site from work. The average user hits Twitter.com about 14 times a month and spends about seven minutes on the site.
Mobile accessibility, however, has greatly contributed to Twitter's success, Nielsen said. In January, about 735K unique visitors access the site through their phones and PDAs. In the last quarter of 2008, meanwhile, about 812K unique text messages were sent to Twitter from AT&T and Verizon cell phones.
"It will be interesting to watch the evolution of Twitter as it continues to gain momentum," Nielsen wrote in a blog post. "In an unstable economy, it might prove to be an economical and important part of an employer's marketing strategy that helps to keep consumers aware of and connected to their brand."

Lexi Thompson must feel a little bit cheated. Over the weekend, the then-leader of the ANA Inspiration – one of the LPGA's five Major Tournaments – was given a 4-stroke penalty on Sunday because of a viewer who emailed in a potential rules infraction they had seen on TV. The problem, the supposed infraction happened on Saturday and Thompson, who had already signed her scorecard, was unaware of any penalties while playing her final round.
When the LPGA was informed of the violation, they reviewed it for accuracy and then immediately assessed Lexi with a 4-stroke penalty; 2-strokes for incorrect ball replacement and 2-strokes for signing an incorrect scorecard. Leading by three strokes at the time, Lexi asked "is this a joke" to the LPGA rules official. Fighting tears, confusion and frustration, Lexi went on to play some incredible golf only to end up losing in a playoff to So Yeon Ryu, and the golf world has been talking about this rules infraction ever since.

Ferrera says the United States "should have an honest discussion about the effects that war has on our society, on the men who come back, on the families that are broken from it."
She said Friday in a phone interview she hopes the film ignites such discussion.
Ryan O'Nan and Melisa Leo also star in the movie, which was written and directed by Ferrera's beau, Ryan Piers Williams.

A patient with the 'whirl sign' on computed tomography is 25.3 times as likely as a patient without the sign to have small-bowel obstruction (SBO) necessitating surgery. The 'whirl sign' therefore has an important role in the assessment of patients with clinical and radiological signs of SBO.

Headed back home from Heathrow Airport after a lovely vacation, I stopped at the Pret A Manger for a quick pre-flight bite.
When I got to the cash register, I noticed this awesome sticker — concise, honest, and, best of all, empathetic.
We're legally required to add on
VAT when you eat in. Nightmare.
They're legally required to charge VAT (value added tax), but they aren't required to be dicks about it. Yet most merchants are. The staff feels that it's out of their control and they're sick of getting blamed, so they shrug their shoulders and keep it quiet, hoping you won't notice.
I admire Pret for taking a different route: being upfront, noting it prominently, and identifying with the customer. Now that they've set my expectations and repudiate the blame, my distaste in paying it doesn't negatively effect their brand. In fact, I like them even more now. It's kind of genius.

If it's not rabid beavers, it's Hitler toilet paper.
If it's not skateboarding goats, it's cockroach races.
This is the kind of stuff David Moye traffics in. The La Mesa man is a full-time reporter for the
Moye works the weird beat. He writes the type of news stories and journalistic morsels that make the site a click magnet — stories about life's oddballs and freaks, about the off-color and the offbeat.
"I've been fascinated by weird news all my life," he says.
His stories are hot commodities online. They are the kind of pieces that ricochet around Facebook or Twitter, followed by snickering comments.
It's not unusual for a story by Moye to get as many as a million hits within 48 hours after it is posted.
He thinks the San Diego region, and East County in particular, are a gold mine of goofy tales compared to the rest of California.
"People in San Francisco are weird and they want to be weirder," he says. "People in L.A. are weird and they want to be rich. People in San Diego think they're normal and those people are the weirdest ones of all."
At 47 years old, he seems the picture of the mild suburbanite. He lives on the same quiet street where he grew up. He drives a 20-year-old car. He and his wife, Jennifer, have a 9-year-old daughter and a 6-year-old son.
But this chronicler of quirk has his own quirks. He plays the ukulele. He read palms and once worked as a phone psychic. He gives off a smart-alecky vibe and sometimes puts on a nasally, high-pitched voice, sounding like a character in a kiddie cartoon.
"He is a man-child in many ways," says his boss, Buck Wolf, the HuffPost's executive editor of crime and weird news.
Wolf says Moye is one of the hardest working people he's met, and a key reason why weird news is one of the most popular draws on the site.
"He knows his way around the beat," says Wolf. "He's encyclopedic about things that are inane."
Moye's passion for the offbeat and for pop culture goes back to growing up on Swarthmore Street in La Mesa with his twin brother, Stephen, two sisters and their parents, Kenneth and Carolyn Moye.
Photo gallery
David and Stephen read a lot of books and listened to talk radio. They wrote and played music.
The lyrics were often based on arresting headlines from the Weekly World News, a popular tabloid found in grocery stores.
And the boys were always intrigued by the curious lady who lived down the street.
Ruth Norman stood out. She drove a blue, 1969 Cadillac Coupe d'Ville adorned with airbrushed depictions of spaceships. On the roof sat a large, medal flying saucer that, to this day, looks like a leftover from a 1950s sci-fi movie.
David would see Norman driving the caddie around town. She wore robes and purple wigs.
Turns out she was the director of the Unarius Academy of Science. Members of the outfit, which still operates out of downtown El Cajon, believe that a band of benevolent "space brothers" will land someday on a hillside in Jamul.
There they will establish a peaceful outpost aimed at enlightening humanity.
Norman died in 1993. Unarians prefer to say she went to "a higher plane." And the car remains an East County icon and appears each year in El Cajon's Mother Goose Parade.
More was so taken with the Unarians when he was a teenager that he asked them to speak to his journalism class at Helix High School. He wasn't keen on ridiculing them, at least to their face. He wanted to figure out what made them tick.
His teacher backed the guest appearance. Other times, she found Moye's brand of humor off-putting.
"She told me, 'You could accomplish so much if you were serious once in a while.' "
Moye believes today that "that's still the worst advice I've ever received." He says humor has always been a relief valve. It eases stress and helps him sort out issues.
He was hired by the HuffPost last year following a string of jobs in journalism, marketing and public relations.
From 1995 to 2007, he was an editor with Wireless Flash, a San Diego-based news agency that served up offbeat stories to the Jay Leno,
He then spent several years in marketing and P.R. Looking for a unique way to pitch his services, he posted several videos on YouTube that show him offering public relations advice to hand puppets.
But it's writing that Moye loves most. He has a talent for turning what can seem like lowly subjects into little Internet gems, chock with puns, clever turns of phrase and his goofball humor.
"He's always been able to take the different angle," says his brother, Stephen. "He could always find a way to make it a little more delicious."
Earlier this month, he wrote a story about vandals who removed the head of a religious statue and replaced it with a toy gnome. The Connecticut woman who owned the statue was outraged by the misdeed.
Moye's opening sentence: "Usually, gnome news is good news, but it's terrible for Darlene Fraga — and her Virgin Mary statue."
A recent story about a German man who sold toilet paper featuring Adolf Hitler's face inspired Moye to cook up this headline: "Adolf Hitler Toilet Paper Creates Furor."
Then there was this piece a few days ago, about an episode of home cooking in Pennsylvania that turned ugly and resulted in an arrest.
Wrote Moye: "A family dinner that started out with salt and pepper ended up with charges of assault and harassment — all because George Rhome was steamed that the chicken was baked and not fried."
He writes about 45 to 50 pieces a month. Many of them grow out of items first reported by other media outlets, including small-town radio and TV stations and overseas websites.
He says an unusual number of them come out of the San Diego area.
Like the man last year who tried to rob a 7-Eleven in Rancho Peñasquitos dressed as Gumby. Or the San Diego woman who sued the Chuck E. Cheese chain last year, claiming that the kiddie games at the eatery are actually illegal gambling devices.
Moye believes San Diego's oddball streak is partly rooted in the fact that many people moved here to escape from a bigger town or rotten weather or something else, and that they often have an odd whiff of desperation to them.
"It's basically the end of the world, in some cases," he says.
Then there are the Unarians, who are looking beyond the planet.
On Oct. 13-14, the group will stage its 29th annual "Interplanetary Conclave of Light."
It will include a visit to the Jamul landing site, the release of white doves and 90 minutes of "mental communication with the Space Brothers."
Moye gets a kick out of the fact that the Unarians often head to the La Mesa Brigantine after the event.
"It's like, hey, we're going to talk to aliens, then we're going out for fish tacos. That always sounds so San Diego to me."

Andy Griffith, one of the stars who put CBS on top of the TV world in the 1960s with an easy-going but culturally-packed sitcom that ran for eight seasons during that stormy decade in American life, died Tuesday at 86 at his North Carolina home in Roanoke Island.
Like Fred MacMurry, whose range ran from the feature film "Double Indemnity" to TV's "My Three Sons," Griffith was far more than just another TV actor from the early days of the medium. Before TV and Sheriff Andy Taylor, he was Lonesome Rhodes in Elia Kazan's "A Face in the Crowd," And he found renewed TV fame in the 1980s and '90s as Harvard-educated attorney Ben Matlock. His longevity alone would warrant comment and appreciation.
But "The Andy Griffith Show," which ran from 1963 to 1968, is what he is rightfully being most remembered for today. His folksy, reassuring and steady persona not only sold the show as entertainment, it also led millions of viewers to believe in the deeper psychic and fantasy aspects of the community called Mayberry over which he presided as Sheriff Taylor Monday nights on CBS.
The years during which the sitcom ran were among the most transformational and turbulent in American life. From the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 through the nation's deepening involvement in the Vietnam War and the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King and subsequent urban riots of '68, the nation underwent a profound cultural revolution. And during times of such social upheaval in the real world, fantasy depictions often tied to a fondly-remembered, idealized past offer deep escapist pleasure.
That was "The Andy Griffith Show."
If viewers were troubled at dinnertime by CBS News showing images of civil rights marchers being beaten by Southern enforcement officers, they were reassured in prime time by the always-present sense of fair play that Sheriff Taylor brought to dealing honestly and decently with all the denizens of Mayberry. Griffith's likeability made viewers like more than just Mayberry and the show, it gave the audience a reason to believe in the forces of law and order and southern life at a time when they were under assault in social reality.
I am not saying that's a good or a bad thing. I'm just saying that's one of the cultural ways TV worked in American life during its time of near-total dominance, and stars like Andy Griffith were the vehicles used to sell such fantasies and values. For comparisons in the world of feature film, think Henry Fonda or Jimmy Stewart as embodiments of the fundamental decency of American life.
The myth of Mayberry was created so effectively through Griffith's persona that it endures today with pilgrims still wanting to visit the touchstones they saw on TV. Mount Airy, Griffith's North Carolina birthplace, responds to that by promoting itself online as a real-life Mayberry through its connection to the actor.
Griffith's TV sheriff still holds a place in the American psyche more than four decades after the sitcom left the airwaves. And that's the best testimony to the kind of work Griffith did.
If you want to read more about Griffith, here's an excellent
, my colleague at the Sun, in connection with Griffith's last feature film role.

Marin County raised a sharpshooter. Honest. A young man who was raised in bluer than blue (and richer than rich) Kentfield discovered his grandfather's Lee-Enfield WWII rifle in the family's wine cellar and knew that he'd met his destiny:
Growing up in Kentfield, James Macmillan failed to take to any of the gentlemanly pursuits presented by his father, Hugh. Fencing, sailing, fly fishing all came and went.
What captured James Macmillan was the Lee-Enfield locked in the wine cellar.
Once he saw that World War II rifle, Macmillan wouldn't let up until he was old enough for the range. Finally, at age 12, he lifted that heavy wooden stock, bolted a round into the chamber and fired. The recoil nearly knocked him over, and by the time he got home, his shoulder was black and blue.
He had his hobby, and eight years later, Macmillan is the Collegiate Service Rifle Champion, as decreed by the National Rifle Association at a national tournament last summer. The Lee-Enfield has been exchanged for a modern AR-15, and at ranges from 200 to 600 yards, standing, sitting and prone, Macmillan is more accurate than any shooter in any college in the country.
But nobody knows this at his college, Cuesta in San Luis Obispo County, just as nobody at Redwood High School in Larkspur knew he was a sharpshooter until his picture appeared in the yearbook under the "random sports" category.
"I don't publicize it a lot," he says. "People say, 'Are you a sniper in the military?' and I say, 'No. It's just for fun.' "
For six years, Macmillan has been the only Marin County member of the California Grizzlies Junior Rifle Team, based in Sonora (Tuolumne County).
Read the rest here.
I wonder if young Macmillan knows that President Obama and Sen. DiFi are gunning for his gun.

Einstein-Montefiore research tackles childhood obesity in the Bronx
The National Institutes of Health has awarded Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University $1.22 million to combat childhood obesity in the Bronx. Working with Montefiore Medical Center, The University Hospital and Academic Medical Center for Einstein, a team of researchers will build upon their earlier work using education-based audio CDs in the classroom to encourage physical activity and promote positive lifestyle habits.
The prevalence of pediatric obesity has tripled in the past three decades and inner-city minority children have been disproportionally affected. In the South Bronx, nearly one in three children enrolled in the Head Start program, which provides educational services for three- to five-year-olds from low-income households, is obese. Almost half are overweight or obese.1
"After 20 years of medical practice in the South Bronx, I have come to appreciate the enormity, complexity and morbidity of the epidemic," said Philip Ozuah, M.D., Ph.D., chair of pediatrics at Einstein and Montefiore and principle investigator of the study. "The impact of obesity on children and their health is devastating and demands to be addressed."
Physical inactivity is one of the contributing factors to this widespread problem. Although the World Health Organization has identified physical activity in schools as an essential strategy to prevent childhood obesity, many schools - especially in low-income areas - lack facilities to implement the recommendation.
To address this reality, Dr. Ozuah and his team created a series of 10-minute audio CDs designed to encourage aerobic activity. Developed in conjunction with the New York City Department of Education and local schools, the education-based CDs coincide with the curriculum of each grade level. The activities are led by a teacher in a standard classroom setting and are meant to be a supplement to physical education classes and recess.
"Through his innovative approach to confronting childhood obesity, Dr. Ozuah offers the type of leadership we need to fight the epidemic and its consequences, including the appearance of type 2 diabetes among children and adolescents," said Allen M. Spiegel, M.D., the Marilyn and Stanley M. Katz Dean at Einstein and former director of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. "Type 2 diabetes is no longer a disease diagnosed only in adults. Children are now facing the dire complications associated with lifelong exposure to type 2 diabetes, including heart disease, kidney disease, blindness and lower-limb amputations. We face enormous human and economic costs if we do nothing."
"This novel strategy to increasing physical activity in children is the outgrowth of Montefiore's school-health program," said Steven M. Safyer, M.D., president and CEO of Montefiore Medical Center. "As one of the largest programs in the country, Montefiore's school-health program has a legacy of success in developing novel ways of improving the health and well-being of urban school-aged children."
The series of CDs, called CHAM JAM (Children's Hospital at Montefiore Joining Academics in Movement), contain educational material and music that encourage dance, movement and exercise. To keep the activities fresh and to offer variety, new versions are regularly developed and distributed.
Building upon this promising pilot program, Einstein-Montefiore researchers will use this new grant to quadruple the reach of the CD series, from 4,000 to 16,000 students enrolled in kindergarten through third grade in Bronx schools. Through this new randomized group, researchers will evaluate the frequency of CD use, physical activity level during playback, and overall physical fitness of the students over the course of two years.
"We have received consistently positive feedback from the schools we're working with and our preliminary results are very promising," said Dr. Ozuah. "We believe that this program, if validated by further research, has the potential to transform school-based health policies across the country in terms of increasing physical activity in inner-city children, particularly in resource-poor neighborhoods."
Researchers have already begun to identify additional schools to participate in the program and will begin distributing the new CDs in the coming weeks. This new phase of the study will run through August 2011.

Here is my presentation at Drupal Camp Atlanta 2012 on getting started with the AJAX framework in Drupal 7
Atlanta Drupal Camp 2012 - The AJAX Framework in Drupal 7 - Matthew Connerton from Atlanta Drupal Users Group on Vimeo.
I gave a session yesterday at Drupal Con Denver on Features and the great team already has the video up so here it is.
The video of me speaking at Drupal Camp Atlanta 2011 is up!
If you have a view and you want to be able to programmatically change the title of, you can do it via views hooks in your custom module:
function customModule_views_pre_render(&$view) {
if ($view->name == 'view_name' && $view->current_display == 'display_id') {
// Here you can do any php you want to get the title you need for your view.
$view->build_info['title'] = "My custom title!"
Easy peasy huh?
I have been doing development for Poieo Design for a bit now and we have a number of modules that we are looking forward to clean up and contribute. Here is a sneak peak of what we are currently working on:
Ubercart Pay Later - The Pay later module lets a user pay for an order after viewing it from their order history. This will allow you to dynamicly create orders for users so they don't have to go through the checkout process, but can still pay for them later. Currently only the built in credit card and paypal is supported, but with help from the community, more payment methods and features can be integrated.
Ubercart Payment Plan - There are some products that are just too expensive to pay for at once. This module will allow you to define a deposit, then create additional payments and dates that they are due. After the deposit is paid by the client, the additional payments are then turned into individual orders. The user can then pay for them when they want via the Ubercart Pay Later module.
Ubercart Late Fee - This module will let the user define a late fee for an order based on product class. When the order has passed its due date without being paid, the fee is then added as a line item to the order and reoccurs until the order is paid for.
Ubercart Due Date - Currently the only dates associated with orders are their created date and modified date. Those are pretty important, however when using the modules such as Ubercart Pay Later and Ubercart Payment Plan where orders are generated instead of checked out, we need to define when this invoice is due as well as track when it was created.
Ubercart Notifications - This module was created to send out notifications when payments where due and when late fees were applied.
Ubercart Hide Add to Cart - This is more of a glue module but we find it useful often. Based on product class, we sometimes want to hide the "add to cart" form.
Currently all these modules are in "yep it's working" condition. We still have some cleaning and gravy to add but we are pretty excited about their use. If you are interested in these modules or have any suggestions, please let us know!

Agricultural FDI: Risky Business?
Al-Arabiya reported a few weeks ago that the political crisis in Ukraine and Russia is threatening the availability of food in Egypt and Jordan. Food prices becoming hostage to political crises is certainly not a new phenomenon: food plays an important role in the stability of societies through its availability, affordability, and quality. We learned this lesson from the 1789 French Revolution and more recently, many commentators link soaring food prices in 2010 with the events leading up to the 'Arab Spring.' The latter is not surprising when Arab countries import 56% of their cereal consumption, and some Arab countries import 100% of their wheat consumption. These recent market dynamics have led many countries to revisit their food security strategies with an eye to securing food supply.
There is a vigorous debate over the reasons pertaining to the food price increases in 2008, 2010, and 2012. Many highlight the effects of seasonal, short and medium term factors such as weather changes and biofuel-related crop conversions as well as long term factors such as population growth, income growth, and climate change. These price increases in food have enormous effects on people, for example, the 2008 food crisis pushed 105 million people into poverty.

Wedding Attire
Wedding Attire
|Wedding Attire
Grooms wear the uniform of the Army, Navy, Marines, or Coast Guard. A groom from the US Marines wears white gloves and carries a saber. If he is from the Navy or Coast guard, he wears a sword. Military men in uniform are adorned with military decorations, and never wear boutonnieres on the uniform. If all of his ushers were in the service, he would probably choose to wear a uniform. If some of his attendants were civilians, the choice would be more difficult because the wedding party would not all be dressed similarly. In this instance the groom usually conforms to what civilians are wearing since it cannot be the other way around.
An officer or enlisted personnel in the bridal party wear uniforms in accordance with the formality of the wedding and seasonal regulations.
For officers, evening dress uniform conforms to civilian white tie and tails. Dinner or mess dress uniform is in accordance with black tie.
In the case of non-commissioned officers, dress blues or dress green uniforms may be worn at formal or informal weddings.
White gloves are a necessity for all saber (sword) bearers. The choice to attend the wedding in uniform as a military guest is optional.
The Bride
A female officer may wear a traditional bridal gown, or she may be married in uniform. A boutonniere is never worn with uniform.
Most brides in military services choose traditional wedding gowns. If she does wear a military uniform, she still holds a bridal bouquet in her hands as she walks down the aisle. The bride stands to the right side of the military groom during the wedding because the sword is worn on the left side.
If the bride will not be in uniform, she should complement the very formal style of the military uniforms by wearing a long, elegant dress with a flowing train and veil (for a second wedding omit the train and veil). Bridesmaids and honor attendants wear equally formal long dresses.

In most organizations today there is no shortage of tools available to assist sales representatives (sales reps) in their day-to-day performance and a large majority has deployed tools across the entire sales process. However, key metrics from the Global CSO Insights: 2015 Sales Performance Optimization Study show that the number of sales reps making the quota is falling and confidence in achieving targets is low, at 60. Therefore, despite companies' broad investment in sales tools and automation, all indications are that the return on investment from these tools is falling short.
