...read on your Web site that you think “Cuban Linx” is the “Scarface” of hip-hop albums, which is a pretty bold claim. Do you ever have moments of doubt or are you always that confident? R: Nah, I’m always confident. But you know, I’m human, it be times when I panic, it could be a big game and you start sweatin’. That don’t mean you don’t feel like you gon’ win, it?...
...bold bet. Right now there is no price set on those rain-forest services, because no market exists to price them. Canopy Capital isn't buying land, and it is essentially paying the Iwokrama reserve for a good that it can't really trade.

"Howard, frankly, is the only person who could do what we needed to do," says global strategy head Gass. That courage was on full display on Feb. 26, when Starbucks closed...
...alone when I open up the Stars and Stripes, the military's daily paper, and immediately search for the section with the names of the fallen to see if they include anyone I know. While in a combat outpost in southwest Baghdad, it was in that distinctive bold Arial print in a two-week-old copy of the Stars and Stripes that I read that my best friend had been killed in Afghanistan. No phone call from a mutual friend or a visit to his family. All that had come and gone by the time I had learned about...
