		<description><![CDATA[Hating the Yankees is as time-honored a tradition among baseball fans as wolfing down hot dogs and Cracker Jack. But it&#8217;s awfully hard to aim bad feelings toward easygoing manager Joe Torre, who arrived to extremely low expectations and then led the New York team to multiple championships in his 12 years at the helm. He&#8217;s a reasonable and calming background presence in this audiobook, read by Spo&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Big! That was my first impression when Dave McKenna, Mack Trucks&#8217; manager of powertrain sales and marketing, brought us into the yard at Orlando Mack Sales where the Titan was waiting. Dave was to be my tour guide and navigator for the test drive. The Titan, built to do big jobs requiring big power, is a big truck. It was originally developed to run the Australian Outback, where triple trailers are all full size, and the roads are often rough and unimproved. The Titan is tall, raised to p&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Talk to most people and they&#8217;ve likely never heard of Walcott, Iowa. Talk to a truck driver and, even if they&#8217;ve never stopped by, they know the tiny town that is home to the world&#8217;s largest truckstop. And that&#8217;s just how the Iowa 80 TA wants it. &#8220;We think it&#8217;s great that travelers stop in and tour buses come through. But that&#8217;s not who built us,&#8221; says Heather DeBaillie, marketing manager for the Iowa 80 Group. &#8220;Truck drivers are the reason &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We hear, and more often, see a great deal about workplace safety. We attend safety meetings. We hear about driving in construction zones, driving at the speed vehicles around you drive and proper use of lanes. We see workers wearing hard hats, safety glasses, orange and lime green vests with reflective stripes and protective gloves. But what about safety in our own workplace?I&#8217;m not talking about the open road or city streets. I refer to that little &#8220;office&#8221; where you spend s&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The joke is that those flashing speed display signs sometimes placed on highways are seen by mischievous drivers as a dare to put up some big numbers. In truth, this traffic calming solution is one of the most effective means of slowing traffic and increasing safety. This is particularly the case around school zones, work zones, transitional speed zones and other locations where speeding traffic is of particular concern.Radar speed display signs, also known as speed check signs and driver feed&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[New Orleans has Mardi Gras. Brazil has Carnival &#8212; a dancing-in-the-streets celebration that lasts for a week just before Ash Wednesday. The elaborate parades include lots and lots of music from some of the country&#8217;s biggest singing stars. It&#8217;s good stuff, and trucks bring it. Specially adapted to become moving stages, outfitted with a stadium quality sound system, these rolling entertainment vehicles are known as trios eletricos. The first were created about 50 years ago from &#8230;]]></description>

Look up a childhood home, your own street or a collection of favorite stomping grounds at maps.google.com, click on street view and you get a ground level picture of the spot you&#8217;ve chosen.The Street View cameras, strapped onto cars that roam the roads, have caught all types of odd events, including a drunk guy passed out in front of his house in Australia, a house fire and a marriage proposal (by giant banner).That last one was a del&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today, bridge inspectors rely mostly on their eyes to determine if a structure is sound. But what if the bridge could talk, pointing out its stress points before they cracked? That is the goal of a five-year, $19-million engineering project to create &#8220;smart&#8221; bridges. An infrastructure monitoring system is being developed at the University of Michigan, with plans to install them on several test bridges. The system will include several different types of surface and penetrating sensor&#8230;]]></description>

The website www.happier.com recently created a gratitude journal application for the iPhone. The idea is to input three positive events that happened that day, then answer 24 questions for a happiness score. The app even has an introduction by professor and happiness expert Dr. Martin Seligman. &#8220;When things go well, we tend to forget them. When things go badly, we r&#8230;]]></description>
