LEAD STORY: MAKING OUTSOURCING WORK FOR YOU
LEAST COMPETENT DOGS
A Verizon risk team, looking for data breaches on a client’s computers, dis-
(1) A Palm Bay, Fla., police officer was sent to the hospital in February after a supposedly highly trained K-9 bit him in the crotch during a burglary investigation. A trainer attributed the lapse to the dog’s natural “intensity” during searches. Apparently, all was forgiven, and both “officers” returned to work. (2) In Cottages Row, England, firefighters were called in January when a metal lamppost was reported as smoking because of an electrical short, which was discovered when a Labrador retriever lifted his leg. That species is regarded as quite intelligent, but the dog, after being knocked back by the shock, moments later attempted to engage the lamppost a second time, with the same result.
covered that one company software developer was basically idle for many months, yet remained productive -- because he had outsourced his projects to a Chinese software developer who would do all the work and send it back. The employee earned several hundred thousand dollars a year, according to a January Los Angeles Times report, but paid the Chinese worker only about $50,000. The risk team eventually learned that sensitive company information was flowing to and from Chinese terminals, leading the company to suspect hackers, but that traffic was merely the U.S. employee (obviously, “ex-employee” now) sending and receiving his workload. The U.S. man showed up for work every day, but spent his time leisurely web-surfing.
THE ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT --One of Britain’s most famous “madams” announced in January that she was coming out of retirement to set up a brothel exclusively catering to disabled people and the terminally ill. An ordinary brothel would be illegal in the town of Milton Keynes (45 miles from London), but Becky Adams insists that the government could not shut hers down without illegally discriminating against the disabled. --Advances in the Service Sector: (1) In January, the Japanese marketing firm Wit Inc. began hiring “popular” young women (judged by the extent of their “social network” contacts), at the equivalent of $121 a day, to walk
ADVANCES IN ANIMAL RESEARCH --Scientists from Sweden’s Lund University, reporting in a recent issue of Current Biology, explored the burning question of why dung beetles appear to be “dancing” on the tops of the dung balls they roll away. The answer is that the beetles need to roll their treasures away from the heap as quickly as possible (lest competitors swipe them) and that they can best maintain a straight line away by celestial navigation. To test the hypothesis, researchers actually outfitted some beetles with tiny visors to block their view of the sky, and those beetles mostly rolled their balls in irregular routes, whereas the sky-searching beetles moved in straight lines. --Intelligent Design: Japanese researchers learned recently that a species of sea slug may lose its penis after copulating, but then grow another one and use it the next time the occasion arises. Writing in the British journal Biology Letters, the scientists also found that the slugs have both male and female organs and in effect copulate with each other through a simultaneous hook-up. A final breathtaking finding of the team was that the sea slugs’ penis has the ability to remove competitors’ sperm from the female openings of its mate.

---- In the Czech Republic, per-capita beer consumption is twice that in the United States, and competition is such that some beers are priced lower than any other beverage, including water. (The brewery Pizensky Prazdroj delivers beer in tanker trucks that in the U.S. might deliver gasoline, and delivers it to pubs’ storage tanks just as U.S. gas station have storage tanks.) Recently, concerned about overconsumption, the country’s health minister proposed to prohibit restaurants and bars from offering a beer as the lowest-priced drink, per ounce.

(2) According to news reports in November, New York City physician Jack Berdy was doing a brisk business administering Botox injections (at up to $800) to poker players who were hoping to prevent facial expressions that might tip their hands. --Ingenious: (1) London’s The Independent reported in January that Dean Kamen (who famously invented the Segway, a standing, battery-powered scooter) had developed, along with a Pennsylvania medical team, what appears to work as a “reverse feeding tube” that will vacuum out up to 30 percent of any food in the stomach before it is digested and converted into calories. After installation of the stomach “port,” the diner could operate the

Police said Merriweather had been accused of a similar incident at a different employment agency a few days earlier.

(The faithful were rewarded, though, as the dove, though wounded, managed to elude the irreligious predator.) (2) On Feb. 11, only hours after Pope Benedict had announced his imminent retirement, a rare winter thunderstorm hit Vatican City, and an Agence France-Presse photographer snapped a photo of one powerful lightning bolt from the heavens appearing to strike St. Peter’s Basilica (as if offering a dissenting opinion to the pope’s decision).

PLOT: Victor (Colin Farrell) is part of gangster kingpin Alphonse Hoyt’s (Terrence Howard) crew. Handy with a gun, and smart enough to keep his mouth shut most of the time, he’s risen through the ranks quickly. But- when Beatrice (Noomi Rapace)- Victor’s neighbor, sees him commit a murder, she blackmails him into killing the drunk driver who left her with a badly scarred face. Little does she know, Victor is not the thug she thinks he is. REVIEW: DEAD MAN DOWN has a relatively high-brow pedigree for an action thriller. Coming from director Niels Arden Oplev- who previously directed Noomi Rapace in the acclaimed Swedish adaptation of THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, DEAD MAN DOWN takes a familiar story- which is nonetheless solidly entertaining, and a top notch “tough guy” star vehicle for Colin Farrell.

Here, he plays your prototypical killer with a heart of gold, who- of course, is hiding some painful secret that justifies his methodical approach to the underworld. It’s a familiar part, and the revelation regarding his character and his part in Howard’s mob isn’t tough to predict. Still, even if the role is familiar, Farrell delivers in an emotionally satisfying way a lot of other action stars might not be capable of. His performance here is ultra-intense and highly emotional- and it’s unique to see an action role taken with this kind of method-style approach. Take him out of DEAD MAN DOWN, and it’s just a very pretty action movie. But with him- it’s occasionally more than that. The best parts of DEAD MAN DOWN are the three action set-pieces- one for the beginning, middle and end. It’s actually the middle action scene that’s the best- with Farrell’s downtown mobster sniper attack being the kind of thing that would absolutely own in a PUNISHER reboot (come to think of it- Farrell would be an interesting choice). Aplev’s handling of all three scenes is excellent, even if the CGI-packed finale is a little much for a film that had previously been relatively low-key. Obviously DEAD MAN DOWN is not even close to being a perfect movie, but there’s enough about it that resonates to make it an easy recommendation. As an action film it’s plenty satisfying, but the performances from the two leads, and Aplev’s talent behind the camera gives this an edge it wouldn’t have had otherwise. It’s probably not for everyone, but if you like your action flicks with a little European, art-house flair, this is for you.

JAMES SUPRA L-R: Dana Gaynor, Suavek Zaniesienko, James Supra, Al Wanamaker
BLUES BAND
THE VALLEY BEAT MARCH 13, 2013
by: Mitch
Recently, after taking in a show at Penn’s Peak, I made a pit stop at Molly Maguires in Jim Thorpe where Supra and his band were performing. This particular gig was prior to World of Harmonica’s announcement of their award of Best Album of 2012. Ever the self-promoter, Supra ensured that everyone in the place knew about the online polling on Facebook and his efforts obviously paid off as the voting went viral enough to put him over the top. Sitting in on drums for Al Wanamaker at Molly’s that night, was Emmaus native Josh Kanusky, the full time drummer for Bev Conklin’s BC Combo. Kanusky played a small kit but sounded great. The band opted for a more stripped-down sound system and for Molly Maguires, that was the way to go. In this pub, less is more. Gaynor and Zaniesienko had their respective guitar amplifiers and Supra went with a singular PA speaker for vocals and harp. The mix was perfect and the pub-goers showed their appreciation as Supra and company rocked originals and covers.
Over the past fourteen years, James Supra has made a habit of cleaning up on Lehigh Valley Music Awards for being the best harmonica player and/or overall performer. Now he’s taking on the world and winning.
I then saw them perform at Strange Brew in Allentown after receiving WOH’s Album of the Year honors. I’m not sure if the award had anything to do with it, but the band seemed even more energized than before, if that’s possible. Perhaps that extra energy was derived from the validation they received from taking on the world and conquering it.
James Supra Blues Band scored a major musical coup and gained global recognition and notoriety for having their latest album, Tip My Hat to the Maker, named as the winner of World of Harmonica’s Album of the Year 2012. The album garnered the most votes in online polling on Facebook so now Supra and his band mates can add one more accolade to their already overstuffed trophy case. I guess when you tip your hat to The Maker, good things can and do happen.
There are some big things on the horizon for the James Supra Blues Band including a couple of opening stints for major artists. They are due to open for the award-winning blues guitarist Debbie Davies in a 2nd Story Blues Alliance event on Friday, March 22 at 8PM at Epic Center, 1205 Broadway in Fountain Hill. If you want to see two top-notch female guitarists in Dana Gaynor and Debbie Davies, this show is a must-see! For tickets and information, contact Les Houck at 610-882-1710.
Last year, I was making my way into the Sam Adams Brew Pub at the Holiday Inn Conference Center in Fogelsville when Supra accosted me in the driveway in front of the hotel. I use the word “accosted” in the most affectionate of ways. The irrepressible Supra was overjoyed at having completed Tip My Hat to the Maker and all he wanted to do was share his excitement with me.
James Supra Blues Band has also been tapped to open for Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes at Penn’s Peak in Jim Thorpe on Friday, April 19 at 8PM. Reduced-price tickets are available by contacting the band directly through their website at www.jamessuprabluesband.com or via Facebook.
“Mitch! You gotta hear this, man! Check this out!” an exuberant Supra exclaimed as he flung open the doors on his illegally parked car and cranked up the volume on the CD player. Grinning from ear to ear and obviously quite proud of his band’s latest studio recording, he gladly handed me a complimentary copy of the CD. With that kind of unbridled passion and enthusiasm, it doesn’t surprise me that his record is winning awards.

DAVID BOWIE: THE NEXT DAY
PAGE 13
On several levels, David Bowie’s 24th studio Bowie pulled off equally radical shifts at least album is a cunning act of sleight of hand. On The five times between 1970 and 1980 alone. This Next Day, he hasn’t only come to terms with his malleability astounds because it runs so counter past-- he’s making his old material work for his to the way most of us think and behave. It’s new material. For Bowie, the always-savvy son non-conformist, uncomfortable, and irrational, of a public relations man, it’s good for business without any of the detrimental consequences and good for art. The “Heroes”-erasing cover that are supposed to come along with such is an admission, a boast, and a provocation rule-breaking. Granted, a stupendous coke (“how dare he!”) all at once. And by keeping the habit nearly killed him and he wasn’t able to be album’s recording sessions a tight-lipped secret, a present father to his young son during that the back-from-the-dead exclamation of its time, but even those disappointments led to announcement was that much more pronounced. the despondency that fueled his oblique Berlin Also, by abstaining from any new interviews and trilogy. only releasing a few drab black-and-white promo The following couple of decades weren’t quite as photos, he’s all but forcing the press to go back fulfilling, with Bowie reaching stadium success, through his archives to fill the inevitable cover over-diluting his art, and then doubling-back stories from all across the globe. and over-corroding it. Whereas the 70s run In 1969, when David Bowie was just another was marked by unpredictability, the 80s and struggling London songwriter desperate for a 90s were more transparently reactionary, with break, he shot a promotional film to showcase his Bowie eventually following particularly dramatic “In 1969, when David Bowie was just another trends rather than leading brand of performance. struggling London songwriter desperate for a (or ignoring) them.

In the 1970s, spontaneity that highlights Bowie’s best work; he rifled through looks, genres, and band it’s no coincidence that two of the album’s best members without hesitation, from space-age moments, on the “Dirty Boys” and the “Boss of glam, to cocaine funk, to harrowing ambience, to name a few.

WAT CH A L THE GAM L HER ES E
ARIES Your alternative ideas are far superior -- just make sure you’re not too cocky about it when you unleash them on the world! Then be sure you’ve got your priorities straight around Wednesday and Thursday. If what you’re about to do gives you an uneasy feeling -- or if you think it might give someone else one -- stop and make time to think and feel it through. You might want to wait ‘til Friday anyway, because this weekend you will be unstoppable. It sounds corny, but if you can dream it, you can do it. Rock on! TAURUS Dreaming of the future consumes you --not just of flying saucers and teleportation technology, but also, for example, what you will look like in the future, what kind of job you’ll have, who you’ll be spending your life with. You might want to talk this stuff over with a friend. On Wednesday and Thursday, pacing is a primary theme -- are you going too fast or not fast enough? -- but Friday finds you content and longing for meaningful interaction. The future is suddenly not nearly as interesting to you as is the present. Shopping figures into your weekend. GEMINI On the one hand, you’re frustrated about your career and dreaming of making a change. On the other hand, everything is too blurry to do anything about it. Communicate your feelings another day, when you’ll be able to articulate them better. For example, on Wednesday when you’re surrounded by friends who’d love to be asked for advice. Thursday is a great day too, but Friday and Saturday require the utmost focus on your part. You are able to do a million things at once, and that is a rare skill. A flirtatious exchange on Sunday makes you feel like a new balloon. CANCER Go ahead and let the unknown surprise and delight you. Sometimes the best way to figure out who you are is to put yourself in new situations and see how you respond. No wonder philosophy is on your mind. Wednesday and Thursday are cerebral days as well, although they’re also fairly emotional days; don’t speak before thinking and don’t take anything personally, if you can help it. Friday and Saturday are charmed -- and you’ll have the chance to charm others, probably in a dinner-party situation -and Sunday you’re as busy as a bee.
LEO Sometimes pictures of products on the Internet can be deceiving. Do some more research -- even more Internet research -- before typing in your credit card number. Tuesday brings you more evidence that no amount of new gadgetry can solve certain problems, and Wednesday and Thursday are so full of learning you feel like you’re in school again. Even the trees seem to have something to teach you. On Friday and Saturday your search for answers about your career comes up empty, but Sunday afternoon with friends puts everything in perspective.

SCORPIO You and your friends are birds of a feather, and you’re the front tip of the formation. You love making decisions about which electric wires to fly to next -- you truly love the flock -- but you also have goals that have nothing to do with the rest of your pals. When a conflict arises on Wednesday and Thursday, make a conscious effort to support someone else’s plan. It may be something of a sacrifice for you, but it will also absolve you of responsibility. On Friday and Saturday, more compromise is required; but on Sunday you’ll get to fly solo. Just stay out of trouble.
Charles Chrin Community Ctr 4100 Green Pond Rd
SAGITTARIUS You’re having trouble getting the engine to turn over on this week. You have gas. You have the right keys. You’re doing what you usually do, but you’re not getting the results you usually get. How annoying! Tuesday will be like this, too. Don’t sweat it. Wednesday and Thursday, the opposite will be true. The most impossible-seeming tasks are a snap. Crazy! Friday and Saturday, make sure the lines of communication are wide open and avail yourself to anyone who needs you. Then, on Sunday, shut off the phone. You deserve a break. You deserve a hammock!
Big Daddy’s Wagon Wheel Tavern Route 313 & Sternersmill Rd. 215-536-9989 3/16 Reaction
CAPRICORN Maybe it’s time to clear the sheets off the bed and create a play on your mattress. Bring in a lamp from the living room. String up some decorations. The more creative you are the first half of the week, the better. The second half of the week, your total lack of creative outlets stalls you. Your family needs you. Your boss needs you. Who doesn’t need you? Friday and Saturday, an opportunity to whip out a box of crayons presents itself, and you nearly explode with happiness. Then, on Sunday, your creativity takes an intellectual turn. AQUARIUS Your credit card is maxed and you can only find about fifteen cents between the couch cushions. Is this cause for a personal crisis? Wednesday you’ll have developed such a taste for tuna sandwiches (you’ll have gotten it down to a technique, with capers and everything) that you won’t mind. Thursday is full of advanced ideas and altruism, and Friday and Saturday are marked by huge leaps forward in your understanding of your family. Sunday is stuffed with love. Hotsy-totsy! PISCES You are happiest when you’re helping someone else out. Not that you like your friends to be sad, it’s just that, when they are sad, you like to be the one who can make them happier. Have you considered a clown costume? Wednesday and Thursday are filled with riddles and puzzles -- many of them of your own devising -- and Friday is about the softer side of life (it’s a day full of moisturizers). On Saturday, write someone a love letter, and on Sunday, enjoy some poetry. Or music. Or heck, even TV. Let yourself be entertained.

VIRGO The stacks of paper in your living room and bedroom are so daunting that you practically need a sailboat to get from this side of the room to that. Reorganizing your life on this week brings you solace, but it also draws your attention to how much more disorganized other people are than you. Don’t feel like you have to straighten up someone else’s desk -- let them be messy. Is it really that important? On Wednesday and Thursday you only want to devote energy to things that really matter. This weekend, what matters to you is compatibility. You and a friend have a date. Expect a deep conversation
LIBRA You and you-know-who are almost a circus act at this point. You have incredible chemistry. Duality is a big theme, and flexibility is key. Wednesday and Thursday are also decidedly relationship-oriented -- not just romantic relationships, but also your one-on-one relationships at home, at work and at the gym. Friday is packed with beauty and wonders -- and anxieties about a certain partnership that seems to be running afoul (life is like this, the good comes with the bad) -- but Saturday is as harmonious as a duet and Sunday is sprightly.
