Failure was my middle name when I recently spoke to head of Traveller's Tales, Jonathan Smith.
There I am chatting with him about the upcoming Lego: Batman game and suggesting that a Lego: Transformers game would be fun. He asks me, essentially, for an on-the-spot verbal pitch. As chronicled on my Multiplayer blog, I say
I said, you'd take advantage of the wide cast of Transformers characters and put them in the format started by "Lego: Star Wars." There are plenty of Transformers for gamers to control and swap, certainly more characters in the pantheon than there were for "Lego: Indiana Jones."
I said TT coul have all sorts of fun letting the characters transform to get through the levels. You have the existing good mix of character and vehicle stuff in the Lego games, so there's a blueprint there.
"Sounds like you just want a good Transformers game," Smith replied
I tried more. He didn't bite. Where did I go wrong? Bad concept?

The Wyoming House of Representatives has opened a hearing into a bill to triple the tax in exchange for exempting wind projects from state sales tax on the construction materials.
The bill, which is being sponsored by Republican representative Tim Stubson, calls for wind farms completed from January next year to pay the tax immediately.
The House of Representatives gave initial approval to the tax in February last year.
It will come into effect in 2012 for projects which have been in operation for three years. Revenue will be split 60:40 between the state and the countries where the wind farms are based.
Wyoming governor Dave Freudenthal made the bill the focus of his agenda and it was supported by two thirds of the 60-member chamber.
The state is rich in wind resource and the creation of tax prompted concerns that the move could damage Wyoming's ability to attract wind energy investment.

In yet another sign of how quickly his star has risen after being a fifth-round pick a mere three years ago, Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman has been tabbed to appear on the cover of the "Madden NFL 15" video game, game maker EA Sports announced Friday.
Sherman was selected by a fan vote, besting Panthers quarterback Cam Newton in the finals.
Sherman is the first defensive player on the Madden cover since Steelers safety Troy Polamalu in Madden '10, and he is the first Seahawks player to make the cover since Seahawks tailback Shaun Alexander in Madden '07.
Hall of Fame tailback Barry Sanders appeared on the Madden '14 box. The previous year, Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson appeared on the cover in the very same season that he broke the single-season receiving yardage record. However, the struggles of some who have donned the cover are part of the game's lore.
The 26-year-old Sherman has intercepted 20 passes in his first three NFL seasons, including eight in 2013, a season capped by Seattle winning its first Super Bowl.

Judge: Quinn Has To Pay Lawmakers
A judge says Gov. Pat Quinn went too far this summer when he blocked paychecks for Illinois lawmakers.
Members of the General Assembly have missed two paydays so far, and it is not clear when they will get their money. The governor stands by his actions, saying it's his best option for cajoling the General Assembly into overhauling the state's pension systems. Quinn said he plans to appeal.
Quinn has been talking about pensions for a long time. Illinois is short nearly $100 billion in future payouts for retired state workers, university employees and public school teachers.
In the past few years, Quinn set deadline after deadline, which legislators repeatedly ignored. People began to wonder whether he would ever follow through with consequences.
This summer, facing not one, but two potential Democratic rivals for his job, Quinn finally did something about it.
"The legislators should not get paid until they enact comprehensive public pension reform," Quinn said.
Standing before a bank of Chicago TV cameras, Quinn used his veto power to eliminate all the money for legislators' salaries from the budget. He left his own salary intact, although he hasn't collected his paychecks.
This was in July, at a time when a special legislative committee had already been negotiating a pension compromise for several weeks.
"They must have that alarm bell ringing in their ears, and the best way to do that is to hit them in the wallet," Quinn said.
So lawmakers have missed two of their monthly paydays so far, and a third one is coming up next week.
Many have outside jobs as lawyers or with other units of government. But for others, the roughly $68,000 salary is their only income.
There is also the question of the separation of powers -- the idea that the General Assembly gets to decide whether to pass a new law.
What if some future governor decided to use a similar tactic — blocking salaries until the legislature, say, outlawed abortion or banned firearms?
With those hypotheticals in mind, House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton sued the governor.
Back in July, Cullerton's spokeswoman Rikeesha Phelon said Quinn's action was a "clear abuse of power."
"The purpose of the lawsuit is to continue to protect the independence of the legislature," Phelon said. "The purpose of the lawsuit is to preserve the separation of powers, and we're hoping that a court will be able to remedy the situation."
Fast forward nearly two months, and that's exactly what happened — Cook County Judge Neil Cohen said Quinn violated the Illinois Constitution.
The case came down to a provision that says "changes" in legislators' salaries cannot take place until after the next election.
The key word there is "changes" — Quinn says that only means the legislature can't give itself an immediate pay raise. Madigan and Cullerton argue "changes" can mean increases or decreases -- in this case to zero. Judge Cohen agreed, even citing two dictionaries in defining "change."
He ordered Illinois Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka to "immediately" pay the senators and representatives — with interest.
Topinka didn't waste any time.
"Now this afternoon, I instructed my staff to comply with that order, and begin immediately processing the legislators' checks," she says.
Topinka says some lawmakers could get their money Friday. Or maybe not.
At an event in Chicago, Quinn told reporters he'd appeal.
At a 10:30 a.m. Friday hearing, his lawyers are expected to ask Judge Cohen to delay his order, so legislators do not get paid as Quinn appeals. He's planning to take the case directly to the Illinois Supreme Court.
"I think it is important to remember the fundamental principle on why I acted to suspend the appropriation for legislative pay, and that's to pass a pension reform," he says.
What Quinn didn't say is that he's also campaigning to keep his job. He mentions his populist veto all the time — and it's arguably the most significant thing he's done to urge a pension overhaul. So what about that? Members of the special pension committee continue to meet, and say they're still making progress.
Rep. Elaine Nekritz (D-Northbrook) said Quinn's veto has not mattered.
"The action by the governor did not really impact our discussions, our negotiations, or our timing," Nekritz says. "And I think the same holds true today."
Regardless of what happens in the court case, if the legislature finally agrees on some sort of pension fix, Quinn is sure to claim credit for prodding them into action. It's just as likely that lawmakers — angry with the governor over his posturing — will try to deny him that credit.
It's another layer of politics on what's already the most contentious issue in Illinois government.

Calgary lies at the intersection of the Trans-Canada Highway and the QE2 Highway, an hour east of the Rockies.
To navigate Calgary roadways, this is what you need to know: the city uses a numbered street system laid out on a grid. Numbered streets run north-south while avenues run east-west.
Once you've got the hang of the city, you often need only know the address and the quadrant (N.W., N.E., S.W. or S.E.) and you can leave your map in the glove box, point the car, and drive. (But beware in the suburbs where an array of winding boulevards and trails, crescents and closes will have you cracking open that map after all.)
In foul weather, check the road report before driving to your destination.

A Madrid university has become the latest institution to join a university program that introduces students to technologies used in data center and high performance computing environments. Universidad Autonoma de Madrid has become the 50th education member of Solarflare's University Program.
Solarflare produces hardware and network interface software that changes how applications work on networks. The ApplicationOnload Engine, for example, shifts application processing to the network adapter, which, according to the company, boosts application performance reduces network latency, and improves utilization of CPU, memory, and input/output resources.
The university program, which launched in 2012, provides access to the company's hardware and development kits at a "substantial educational discount" specifically for classroom instruction in computer science and computer engineering.
The Future Computing Technology Laboratory at Clemson University in South Carolina has been part of the program for a year. "By leveraging Solarflare's competence in application-intelligence networking, students can better address the real-time network data processing challenges that plague the largest organizations around the globe," said Melissa Smith, assistant professor in the Holcombe Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. The Future Computing Tech Lab researches reconfigurable computing and provides researchers and students with advanced computing infrastructure.
At Columbia University, the ApplicationOnload Engine has been used for instruction and student projects focusing on the algorithms used in application programming and the use of 10 gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) in the financial market.
The latest American institution to join the Solarflare program is Princeton, which signed on in July.

Prospects for the survival of the euro area are looking up, raising a new question to dominate debate about the continent's future: Will there be one European Union, or several? To save itself from oblivion, the euro area is embarking on an unprecedented degree of integration that was left undone when Europe started a common currency just over a decade ago. If all goes according to the plans of a handful of leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, there will eventually emerge a banking union, a new federal budget and a joint commissioner who must reconcile national budgets.
Given the resistance to many of these ideas at the moment, this may sound farfetched. But the project is likely to progress, because so long as the euro exists, logic points to countries that share the same currency pooling their fiscal as well as monetary sovereignty. That means separating from the rest of the EU crowd, and in some ways it's only surprising that this hasn't happened already.
Countries exposed to the risks associated with sharing the euro are justified in demanding special terms relative to fellow EU members who have their own currencies and therefore face fewer constraints and can count on flexible exchange rates. That logic, however, has consequences.
While the 17 euro-area countries are integrating, Britain has started a process of gradually disassociating itself from the rest of the EU. Across the English Channel, this is often met with a sigh of relief -- Britain has long been a difficult partner. However, those who quietly smile as Prime Minister David Cameron and his Conservative Party tie themselves in knots over Europe disregard the fact that the EU would be a different animal without Britain, which was the driving force behind the creation of the EU's single market. The euro area can't simply detach itself from the larger EU without sacrificing competitiveness. Italy's Prime Minister Mario Monti used to say clearly that those who want a stronger single market are outside of the euro.
This includes EU states that are trapped between the euro area and Britain and worry they might not be able to stitch the two parts of Europe together. Of these, Poland is the most nervous at the prospect of Europe's center of gravity drifting beyond the country's comfort zone. Denmark and Sweden are in similar positions but would probably feel more secure about operating at the euro area's margins.
A lot rides on how the changing European geometry will be worked out. It can be done divisively, leading to acrimony, or in an accommodating way that creates synergies. The former route has the potential to bring about an end to the EU as we know it, including its great achievement of overcoming the deep divisions that defined Europe for centuries.
For example, it would make eminent sense for the euro area to create a functioning labor market among its members, complete with a euro-area-wide social-insurance plan. Yet such innovations could also limit the free movement of citizens across the wider EU, a treasured benefit of the union, unless special arrangements were first negotiated to ensure that non- euro-area countries had the possibility of opting into these arrangements. Doing so would require a lot of goodwill and understanding.
Unfortunately, the odds of an orderly redesign of Europe are not good, because a more-integrated euro area is being born of necessity. Wolfgang Schaeuble, the German finance minister, accepted this last year when he said, "We can only achieve a political union if we have a crisis." The midwives for this rebirth of Europe aren't politicians -- they are financial markets pushing for the federal structure needed to make the euro sustainable. Crisis and force-majeure don't make an ideal setting for careful compromise.
Still, a new grand bargain in Europe is possible and worth fighting for. What would it take? It would need to be based on an acceptance that there are different types of economies in Europe, different political systems and different societies. The attempt to merge them into a giant fusion-Europe has not worked, creating antagonism instead. If post-crisis Europe is to be based on a revived idea of this idealized uniformity, it will backfire.
In truth, a two-speed Europe already exists, and it divides northern Europe from southern Europe -- not euro from non-euro countries. It was born in 2002, the year that what the World Bank calls Europe's convergence machine broke. After that, labor productivity in southern European countries began to fall, while in the north it continued to grow at 1.7 percent from 1995 to 2009, a little bit more than the rates of increase in the United States (1.6 percent) and Japan (1.2 percent). Inflows of capital replaced domestic saving in the south, but they increasingly didn't fund productive investment. The result has been a mismatch that is only getting bigger.
A new plan is needed to come to terms with this reality rather than pretend it doesn't exist. It would require accepting that there will be three types of countries in the EU: those that use the euro, those that don't but intend to once the crisis is over, and those that have no intention of joining in the foreseeable future. Being in or out of the euro area would not make you a more or less virtuous European. Euro and non- euro countries would need to create a nonaggression pact, under which they would avoid discriminatory policies and practices and create an agenda for a revamped, state-of-the-art single market.
Contrary to what some believe, there is no reason for the single market to falter if the euro area integrates further. The euro-area labor market may become more closely knit, but it need not discriminate against non-euro nationals. There are also ways of making the banking union an inclusive one, so that the national regulatory authorities of countries that don't use the euro retain the ability to tailor rules to the specific needs of their own banking sectors.
Moreover, there will be more support for the single market after the crisis than there was before, as the European welfare state undergoes its most fundamental reconstruction since World War II and governments search for sources of growth.
Recognition is growing that the single market needs to be extended to new areas, such as digital technologies, where the EU has lost out to the U.S. over the past decade. For this to happen, enforcement to prevent governments from throwing up barriers would need to be stronger at the center, with the European Commission exercising similar powers to the ones it enjoys in competition policy.
If this were a common goal of the three Europes that emerge from the crisis, then there would be no need to worry about differences in macroeconomic governance. That's all the more reason that Britain, a long-term champion of the single market, would be foolish to leave the EU now.
For years, many Europeans -- Britons in particular -- have suspected others of conducting a federalist plot aimed at creating a European core with dependent satellites. Today it is not a plot but a blueprint. The euro area is forging ahead. The trick is to construct these European unions based on pragmatism, rather than resentment and ideology, so that the EU as a whole can continue with its fundamental purpose of holding the continent together.
Pawel Swieboda is president of the Demos Europa Center for European Strategy and a former adviser on Europe to former Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski. He wrote this for Bloomberg News.

Some Assembly Required for Women
Sep 7 2008
A couple of friends of mine recently released a book called Some Assembly Required: A Networking Guide for Women and for some bizarre reason, they actually included me in their book! I guess that means I'm a good example of how to network. 🙂
I've known the authors, Thom Singer and Marny Lifshen, for probably close to 8 or 9 years now. I met them somewhere along the journey of my first high-tech startup and we've remained in touch off and on since then. In fact, Marny was one of the very first beta testers of Baby Insights when her daughter was born!
For long time readers of my blog, you may remember that Thom Singer did a great guest post called Networking and the Stay at Home Parent that continues to get a lot of eyeballs. If my 2009 SXSW interactive panel idea is selected, then Thom will serve on the panel with me because he is building his speaking and writing career after hours just like I'm trying to do with Babble Soft.
The book is easy-to-read, easy-to-understand, and a great reference guide for those looking for some tips on how to network. Although it's written for women in mind, much of the advice they share is great for men too!
I attended an informal book party they held this weekend at Marny's house and gladly paid for my autographed copy. Check it out and look for my name in the Acknowledgements and in a nice little vignette on page 172. See below for a link to buy their book at Amazon:Author: Aruni | Filed under: babble soft, baby insights, networking | Tags: marny lifshen, networking, networking for women, Some Assembly Required for Women, thom singer | 3 Comments »

You want to deliver quality service at a reasonable price-after all, that's what keeps you in business. Like you, most contractors are concerned about their ability to be competitive, make money, and stay in business through reasonably priced quality service. To accomplish this, you must develop accurate estimates and keep overheads to a minimum.
The estimate is the foundation for project management. The estimating process generally dictates which contractor receives electrical work. The contractor with the best-perceived price, but not necessarily the lowest, usually wins the bid. Because of these demands, profit margins are limited. This permits you to have only a small margin for error in the estimate. A proper estimate must accurately determine your cost in completing the job according to the customer's needs.
Estimating versus bidding. Determining the selling price for a job is actually two separate components: estimating and the bid process. Estimating. The purpose of estimating is to determine the cost of a project before you actually do the work. When estimating, you must take into consideration variable job conditions, the cost of materials, labor costs, direct job expenses, and management costs (overhead).
Bid process. Once you know the estimated cost of a project, you can determine the bid of the job.
A good estimating system. A good estimating system should help you quickly and accurately determine the cost of a project. Sometimes it's easy to inadvertently omit an element or make other errors when estimating. These can combine to exceed the job's profit margin, resulting in a net loss for the job.
Job management ultimately controls the cost of a project. Proper project management is often the difference between profit and loss. You must realize effective job planning; labor scheduling, and material purchasing are all factors in determining the cost of a project. The cost of any project correlates with how well you manage the job, and to properly manage a job, you need a budget.
Let the foreman know the details of the estimate. There must be continuous communication between the electricians performing the work, the project manager and the estimator.
Without a proper estimate, you won't know what materials or tools you need. You might not get the material on time. Or, you might have too much material, which increases the likelihood of waste or theft.
Whenever making a bid, you must ask yourself, "Can I be competitive on this job?" Factors affecting acontractor's competitiveness include: competition, cost of power, exper-ience, labor cost and productivity, management skills, overhead, and selling the job at your price.
Let's look at the details. Competition. Know who your competitors are and consider the number of contractors bidding the job. Try not to bid jobs with more than four contractors. However, if there are less than three contractors you can probably raise your profit margin.
Small contractors are often less competitive because of inexperience, inefficiency, and poor management. They're also less competitive because they have a higher overhead per job as compared to the larger contractor. However, many small contractors offer excellent service to their customers.
Cost of material. Suppliers typically offer different prices to different contractors for the same material. What can you do to get the best price? A few simple rules in getting the best price are: shop around and check your prices; pay your bills on time; and take advantage of the 2% discount.
You must also factor in the cost of picking up the products. Did you know it may cost more to buy or pick up your material at the supply house than it does to have it delivered? Check with your suppliers on this. It's also important to remember that low price isn't everything; service and dependability are equally or more important. You should also familiarize yourself with how suppliers develop their pricing. For example, the factory sales representative, at a set percentage above cost, sets lighting fixtures and switchgear prices. The "street price" is the price before a contractor receives the bid. Once the customer accepts a bid, some suppliers cut their price to the "buy price." This can be as much as 7% to 10% lower than the street price. Be sure your supplier includes the cost for accessories, freight, and delivery.
Experience. The more experience you and your employees have, the fewer mistakes you're likely to make. You should be able to complete the project more efficiently.
If you want to be competitive in a market you're not familiar with, find how you can gain the needed experience. Talk to other contractors, attend seminars, read trade magazines and watch training videos. Do whatever you can to reduce losses as a result of inexperience.
Consider the profit margin of a job, particularly labor. The greater the perceived job risk, the higher your need to place the profit margin to accommodate possible losses. Experience helps here. If you bid work in which you are experienced, your profit margin can be lower and the bid will be more competitive.
Labor cost and productivity. The effect of competitiveness between contractors because of the difference in pay scale can be significant. Some contractors pack rock-bottom salaries, and others pay above union scale. Your electricians' salaries should compensate them for their abilities and contribution to your company's bottom line. Pay top dollar, and you'll probably get skilled, motivated, educated, and trained electricians. The result is an increase in labor productivity. Paying a low salary may lead to Code violations, increased supervision requirements, and lower productivity.
Providing your work force with proper training may help to expand your business. Many of today's successful contractors have an apprenticeship and continuing training program for their employees.
Management skills. If you don't manage jobs according to estimates, you're not likely to make the profit that was anticipated. If you don't have the necessary skills to properly manage your jobs, attend management seminars, watch training videos and get involved with a local contractors' organization. By joining a contractors' organization you'll learn from the experience of those who have been there before you.
Overhead. Overhead cost represents between 20% and 40% of a contractor's total sales. To become competitive, you must keep your overhead cost as low as possible.
Selling the job at your price. Confidence and professionalism are critical when selling the job at your price.
If you offer excellent service at a reasonable price, then you won't be hesitant when justifying the prices to the customer. Is it a quality installation that you're selling, or is it low price?
With proper management, it only costs a little more to provide a quality installation.

The Mobile Web Advertising Measurement Guidelines have been developed by the membership of the Mobile Marketing Association (MMA), the IAB (U.S.), and Media Rating Council (MRC) in close collaboration with the GSMA and other stakeholders. Contributors to these guidelines are representative of the key parties in the mobile marketing ecosystem, and include handset manufacturers, wireless operators, ad servers, content providers, agencies, brands and technology enablers.
While these guidelines follow the general parameters and principles of the Advertising Measurement Impression Guidelines previously issued by IAB (U.S.) for online advertising measurement, and are similar to them in many respects, this document has been authored with a specific focus on the unique attributes of Mobile Web advertising. Thus, while many portions of this document will be similar to the existing IAB Guidelines for online measurement, specific guidance in certain other areas will differ (yet will follow the same general principles) because of this consideration of the applicability to the mobile web environment.
Applicability of these guidelines, as opposed to the original IAB Advertising Measurement Guidelines, generally should be based on the type of ad served. For instance, ads served from a mobile version of a web site, or versions of ads specifically designed to be served to a mobile device or in a mobile web environment, should apply these Mobile Web Measurement Guidelines for counting purposes.
This set of guidelines is intended to cover measurement of WAP/Mobile Web advertising activity. Measurement of other forms of mobile advertising activity, including messaging applications (SMS and MMS), mobile applications, and various forms of mobile audio and video (including streamed, downloaded, broadcast and progressive audio and/or video), is not within the scope of these guidelines.
This document is principally applicable to mobile marketers, wireless operators, mobile publishers and ad serving organizations, and is intended as a guide to accepted practice. Additionally, planners and buyers of mobile media advertising can use this document to assist in determining the quality of measurements.
Version 2.0 of the "Mobile Web Advertising Measurement Guidelines" includes a change that requires client-side counting for mobile web ad impressions, which will increase consistency with computer-based ad measurement, make impression counts far more robust and reliable, and may help to reduce mobile discrepancies.
With regard to display filtering, the document also mentions the importance of "viewable impressions," as established by the Making Measurement Make Sense initiative . While the revised "Mobile Web Advertising Measurement Guidelines" do not require measuring viewable impressions in the mobile web as yet, as digital advertising moves to make viewable impressions a key part of the currency, it affirms that mobile media needs to prepare to follow suit as soon as it is technically feasible.

Having long, voluminous lashes can instantly make a girl feel beautiful. However, if you weren't blessed with such full lashes, there are ways to improve the look thanks to false lashes. It might seem easy enough to apply the lashes after you finish up your eye makeup for the night, but the procedure can actually be a bit trickier than you might think.
Lauren Conrad recently dished on the easiest and most efficient way to rock false lashes, here's her best advice from her blog, The Beauty Department.
For the procedure you'll need false lashes, lash glue and tweezers. With ingredients in hand, start by first squeezing a bit of the glue into a clean bottle cap to give it time to get stickier. After about two minutes, use the tweezers to pick up a section of the lashes, dipping the end into the glue.
Place the section directly on top of your own lashes, sticking close to the lash line for the most natural feel. Continue to add sections to your top lids, placing them close to one another for the fullest results and then finish off with a bit of mascara for stunning eyes that are sure to draw attention.

Cloud Security Alliance Selects HP For New Master Training Partner Program
Program to Accelerate Worldwide Access and Adoption of Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) CertificationRSA CONFERENCE – San Francisco – February 25, 2013 – The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) today announced the launch of a new global training program called the CSA Master Training Program. HP has been named as the initial partner of this new program. The CSA Master Training Program is designed to accelerate worldwide access and adoption of the CSA Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) Certification, the industry's most trusted user certification program for the advancement of secure cloud computing. "Working with HP, a company who shares a strong commitment to providing leading edge cloud education and solutions, we are taking another step forward in our mission to deliver the best practices for security assurance within cloud computing," said Jim Reavis, Executive Director of the CSA. "This partnership will be of tremendous benefit to security professionals, as we will have the added resources and investments needed to define and deliver a program that keeps pace with a constantly changing cloud security landscape." With assistance from HP, CSA will invest in the global expansion of CCSK training availability, with a key focus on the Asia Pacific region. CSA and HP will also work closely to collaborate on a curriculum roadmap through the CCSK Center of Excellence based in Singapore. In addition, HP will adapt existing CCSK lab-based training to include HP cloud solutions, and HP Education Services will certify any HP CCSK training staff based on HP's CSA-certified courseware. "Before adopting a cloud delivery model, enterprises must have a security program in place," said Bryan Pickett, Vice President, HP Education Technology and Consulting, Enterprise Services, HP. "With the CSA Master Training Program, companies receive the training they need to develop a program that fits the unique security needs of their organization." At the annual CSA Congress last fall, the CSA published version 3 of its CCSK, which included two principal updates, including an update to the CCSK Training Materials as well as a new CCSK exam. The CCSK is aligned with the latest release of CSA's Security Guidance as well as other intellectual property, which comprises the CSA Common Body of Knowledge (CBK). About the Cloud Security Alliance The Cloud Security Alliance is a not-for-profit organization with a mission to promote the use of best practices for providing security assurance within Cloud Computing, and to provide education on the uses of Cloud Computing to help secure all other forms of computing. The Cloud Security Alliance is led by a broad coalition of industry practitioners, corporations, associations and other key stakeholders.

California Department of Transportation
Headquarters - Public Affairs Office
Tamie McGowen
(916) 657-5060
June 26, 2008
Sacramento –Funding allocations from Proposition 1B, the 2006 voter approved bond to improve California's transportation infrastructure, have surged close to $4 billion near the end of the 2007-08 fiscal year, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) announced today.
"Proposition 1B is paying for vital transportation projects that relieve traffic congestion, which helps greatly when Californians are spending more than $4 per gallon on gasoline," said Caltrans Director Will Kempton.
The near $4 billion total includes $143.7 million allocated today by the California Transportation Commission for nine Proposition 1B projects, including:
- Alameda County - $23.4 million was allocated to repair six miles of Interstate 680 in Fremont. This project will smooth out the pavement, reducing costly vehicle repairs
- Los Angeles - $52.9 million was allocated to build two miles of new HOV lanes for carpoolers and transit riders on Interstate 10 between Interstate 605 and Puente Avenue in Baldwin Park.
- West Sacramento - $24.6 million was allocated to widen Highway 50 to six lanes and improve the Harbor Boulevard interchange.
- Riverside - $6 million was allocated to build a four-lane bridge across railroad tracks. This will decrease greenhouse gas emissions generated by idling vehicles waiting for trains to pass.
For information about all nine projects that received allocations today, visit: http://www.dot.ca.gov/docs/proposition1bprojectallocationsjune2008.pdf
In addition to the Proposition 1B allocations, the California Transportation Commission allocated $805 million for 268 other transportation projects. For information about these projects, visit: http://www.dot.ca.gov/docs/ctcprojectallocationsjune2008.pdf

Moose browse is more complicated than it seems by John Morton
It seems a little early to be worrying about winter browse for moose on the Kenai Peninsula, but recent sightings of bare willow and alder stands are raising the eye brows of biologists at the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. Large areas of subalpine willow show up as brown patches from the air on the Tustumena Benchlands (see photo). Closer to home, thinleaf alder (Alnus tenuifolia) has been defoliated along the road system from Kasilof to Moose Pass.
Needless to say, for shrubs that store up food for the winter by photosynthesizing carbohydrates in their leaves, these observations don't bode well for moose once the snow flies. Both willow and alder are browsed on by moose during the winter, and the various kinds of willow constitute the primary food of Alaskan moose in general.
The insects that graze on alder and willow leaves are very different in their life history. Willows are attacked by the caterpillars of several species of Geometrid moth including the autumnal moth (Epirrita autumnata) and Bruce spanworm (Operophtera bruceata). The former is an exotic from Europe but the latter is a moth species native to Alaska. We most likely have the spanworm here on the Kenai. Both species are well adapted to cold weather and have even been seen flying during snow storms!
Geometrid moths commonly appear and abruptly disappear mysteriously. Most outbreaks last less than three years and seldom cause permanent damage to the shrub host. However, you can imagine that a shrub that photosynthesizes poorly during the summer may not have a lot of nutritional value for moose later that winter.
Alders, in particular the thinleaf alder, are attacked by the caterpillars of the green alder sawfly (Monsoma pulveraturm). This insect is an Old World species, first found in North America in the mid-1990s and first detected in Alaska in 2005. Unlike Geometrid moths, this introduced sawfly may ultimately kill its shrub host since it appears capable of consuming woody tissue in addition to leaves.
The potential to cause permanent damage is increased by the fact that two other sawfly species, the woolly and striped alder sawflies, may also attack the same alder simultaneously. Furthermore, infestation by the Alder canker, most often caused by the fungus Valsa melanodiscus, can also result in death of the twigs and sometimes the stem.
To make matters worse, two Phytophthora species may be associated with the canker in Alaska. Phytophthora , which in Latin means the "plant destroyer", is a pathogen that causes root rot. A species of Phytophthora caused the infamous potato blight in Ireland in the mid-1800s. One of the two Alaskan species is unnamed and new to science, while the other (P. alni subsp. uniformis) is involved in alder disease in nearly a dozen European countries. The 2007 discovery of P. alni uniformis in Alaska was the first time that this pathogen had been confirmed in North America. While mortality has not yet been detected in Alaska, Dr. Jim Kruse, an entomologist with the U.S. Forest Service, suggests that the two species may have existed benignly beneath alder or been introduced from Europe, where Phytophthora species devastate alder.
Alder dieback along our streams could have a serious impact on our salmon populations. At a time when a warming climate is raising the temperatures of some streams on the Kenai above the spawning threshold for short periods of time, they need all the shade they can get. Alder is also a natural nitrogen fixer, and contributes directly to stream productivity.
Believe it or not, snow depth may also influence the nutritional quality of shrubs. The protein content of shrubs is increased by higher rates of nitrogen mineralization in the soil. Nitrogen mineralization is increased by higher soil temperatures during winter, and soil temperatures are directly impacted by the depth of snow. Snow acts as an insulating layer, so deep snow means more protein in winter browse for moose.
On the North Slope, research published in 2005 in the journal BioScience indicates that higher temperatures and more snow due to a warming climate have resulted in the spread of shrubs on the arctic tundra. Here on the Kenai, however, even as woody shrubs such as willow and dwarf birch invade 8,000 year-old peatlands due to a warming climate, it's possible that their nitrogen content may be low if the average snow pack declines over time due to less snow, more rain, or winter temperatures that cause more snow to melt. That's a little speculative at this point, but it's the kind of ecological phenomenon that ensures job security for biologists.
So, later this winter, when the moose are browsing on your prized ornamental bush in the backyard and you're cursing for not having taken the time to fence it in, be appreciative of the unusually tough times that our moose may be experiencing. If that doesn't work for you, at least appreciate that the science behind this is more complicated than the first glance at a simple twig might suggest.

Easy living
Posted by Team Digital on June 20, 2016.
"Summertime, and the living is easy" goes the old song, and this is certainly the time of year for relaxed and leisurely days. It is also a wonderful excuse to refresh and rejuvenate our living spaces. Just as we turn to wearing our lighter, fresher summer clothes, our homes feel cooler and brighter with a seasonal makeover. Are you ready for a sea-change?
Colour palette
The European furniture shows are the annual catwalks for the interiors industry and highlight the trends for the year ahead. In 2016, Paris, Milan and Cologne were all bursting with bold shades, perhaps in homage to the forthcoming Brazilian Olympics. Mint green is a dominant note, alongside strong and vibrant yellow, orange and turquoise. Paint specialists, Farrow & Ball, always on the cusp of every cultural shift, have introduced "Cooking Apple Green", ideal for a splash of intensity.
Tribal Rhythmns
Lazy, languid lounging requires lots of cushions and pillows. Look out for bold indigenous patterns from countries like Africa, Mexico or Tibet. An eye-catching array of heaped cushions is always inviting and will draw everyone to settle down and relax, whether indoors or out. Throw down a Moroccan rag rug for an extra burst of cheerful vivacity.
Switch to delicate filigree
Heavy, light-absorbing pieces do not suit a sunny room. Pack away those more cumbersome items, and substitute lamps, side-tables and candlesticks which look as if they have been sketched in the air. Filigree furnishings are the perfect light touch for rooms filled with sunshine.
Metallics and pinks
The jury is undecided as to whether copper or brass heads the charts for number one metal, but both glow gorgeously next to Pantone's favoured rosy shades. Pick up on the radiance of sunrise and sunset with this reflective duo. A burnished copper jug filled with dusky roses should do the job to perfection.
Natural elements
The marriage of outside and in is harmonized by use of stone and wood in the home. Think beyond tables and worktops and explore ideas that bring their warmth and luster to other areas. Wooden coasters, a stone clock, or create a stone-clad wall with clever use of wallpaper.
The future beckons
The optical illusion of 3D is already a revolution in printing and is set to take over in our homes. Emerging onto the market are quirky and original 3D pieces which tease the senses and have a playful complexity. Also in ascendance are multifunctional, space-saving concepts. Ingenious chairs turn into tables, a home office folds away, a sofa converts to a pool table! Have fun with these futuristic fixtures while they are still fresh and new – soon they will be everywhere.
We are privileged at Engel & Völkers with our vast exposure to superbly decorated homes throughout the world. Should you be in a position to consider selling or investing in a second home, we can guide you through every step of the way. We have experts in every region and a visit to our website will reveal our portfolio of exclusive properties.
