Bring spray bottles of pink liquid to military recruitment offices and displays.
Spray them.
Tell potential recruits: Be all that you can be. And this could be you.

“Pink mist. That’s what they call it.
“When one of your mates hasn’t just bought it,
“but goes in a flash, from being there to not.
“A direct hit. An I.E.D. An R.P.G. stuck in the gut.”

Those are lines from a play called Pink Mist written in verse by Owen Sheers about three young lads from Bristol who sign up for war in Afghanistan.
Read it. Perform it. It begins like this:

“Three boys went to Catterick.
“It was January,
“snow pitchen on the Severn,
“turning the brown mud white,
“fishermen blowing on their fingerless gloves,
“the current pulling their fishing lines tight.
“That’s how it was the morning when
“the three of us did what boys always have
“And left our homes for war.”

It’s the day after the big vote and I’m doing my best to dig Tulsi Gabbard’s endorsement of Bernie Sanders out from beneath the pile of Super Tuesday numbers and media declarations of winners and losers.

As a Boston Globe headline put it: “Clinton and Trump are now the presumptive nominees. Get used to it.”

But something besides winning and losing still matters, more than ever, in the 2016 presidential race. War and peace and a fundamental questioning of who we are as a nation are actually on the line in this race, or could be — for the first time since 1972, when George McGovern was the Democratic presidential nominee.

Embrace what matters deeply and there’s no such thing as losing.

Washington, D.C., March 1, 2016 – The nationwide nonpartisan Election Protection voter hotline, 866-OUR-VOTE received more than 2,000 calls as voters in 12 states made their voices heard during the Super Tuesday presidential preference primaries and caucuses. The hotline received a steady stream of calls throughout the day with voters seeking information as well as assistance on a range of issues resulting from poll worker misinformation, voter ID problems, overcrowded polls, long lines and ballot shortages.

Vince Staples is one of hip hop's brightest stars. Alright?

I mean that in both the sonic vision he took with NO ID on his latest album, “Summertime 2006.”

NO ID is the Chi-Town producer who played a huge roll developing of the careers of Common, Kanye West, and has risen to become the VP of Def Jam Records.

Even if the NO ID produced  Jay-Z song “Death Of Auto-Tune” didn't exactly end Autotune.

(See TLOP or Future.) The anthem is a banger.

Vince Staples' Summertime 2006 was released on NO ID's Artium Def Jam imprint and Blacksmith (owned by Talib Kweli & Corey Smith.)

It's not only that Staples is making phenomenal records with NO ID.

I'm also saying his interviews are usually insightful like his music.

However this is going to be the worst Vince Staples interview you will ever read because we had to reschedule due to my error.

Well a family member of mine was sick....but excuses are useless.

Vince Staples can't ask you to read his lyrics off your phone while the beat plays at his concert and then say, “my nephew has the mumps.”

Growing up, the words “athlete” and “Brooke Sousa” were rarely used in the same sentence. The Westerville resident said all that has changed in the past year.

After becoming “addicted” to Strongwoman competitions, Sousa can’t believe she will be competing in the Arnold Sports Festival March 3-6 in the Bricker Building in the Ohio Exposition Center.

“Last year, we sat in the crowd watching the Strongwoman competition and it was our dream to get there,” Sousa said. “My coach (Bob Howell) had a lot of faith in me and he gave up a lot of his time to help get me there. We both knew last March we had a lot of work to do but he kept asking me ‘How hard are you going to work to get there?’”

“I haven’t seen anyone strength wise excel like she has,” Howell said. “After two weeks of working out with her, I told her if she trusted me, we could get her to compete in the world’s strongest woman competition (at the Arnold). Now here we are.”

Strongwoman competitions test a person’s ability to lift and move objections. The contests usually involve five feats of strength but the events vary from competition to competition.
