Women in power: Collaborate or lead?October 26, 2012: 5:00 AM ET
For the CEOs at Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit, inclusion and leadership can coexist.
By Stephanie N. Mehta, executive editor
FORTUNE -- The comment drew laughs, then applause and sympathetic nods from the audience. "I used to have really big difficulty in saying, 'I want you to do this,' " Ursula Burns, CEO of Xerox (XRX), confessed at Fortune's annual Most Powerful Women Summit in early October. "When I got used to that, everything got easier."
All executives walk a fine line between being collaborative and being the boss, but Burns' quip resonates especially with women executives. How many times have we heard that female leaders are more inclusive and more team oriented than their male counterparts? That characterization may be true for many women managers and rising corporate stars, says Rosabeth Moss Kanter, a professor at Harvard Business School who specializes in leadership and innovation. "But at a certain point, if you are going to emerge, decisiveness, direction, and accountability matter."

As part of its ongoing Executive Dream Team series, Fortune has spent the past several months exploring the increasingly cooperative nature of executive life: These days, for example, technology buyers are pairing up with marketers; sales and manufacturing officers are planning and executing in lockstep. But as some of the CEOs who spoke at the MPW Summit noted, there's a time for collaboration -- and a time to issue edicts. "I started my job right at the beginning of the global banking crisis," Ellen Kullman, CEO of DuPont (DD), said. "People didn't want to run with you -- they wanted you to tell them what to do. And that's exhausting. I realized that by the time I was really tired of saying the same thing, they were just getting it."
Collaboration and leadership aren't mutually exclusive, of course. In fact, top management has a big mandate to make organizations less "siloed" and more conducive to work among different units and different people. Ginni Rometty, CEO of IBM (IBM), spoke at length about a company program that aims to solve global problems by putting together teams with different skills and backgrounds. "I think this is a time of great inclusion," she said. But inclusiveness today isn't just about adding women to the mix, she noted. "It's geographic, it's approach, it's your style, it's your way of learning, the way you want to contribute, it's your age. It is really broad."
And then, in the spirit of collaboration, she offered to share the details of the program with some of the attendees who wanted to try to replicate it in their own organizations.
This story is from the November 12, 2012 issue of Fortune.

The highways of Southern California's Palomar Mountain lead to one of the world's most powerful telescopes … and to other delights.
Oceanside, California, lies between San Diego and Los Angeles, and traveling east from there on California Highway 76 takes you to Cleveland National Forest. A number of pleasant surprises await travelers to this part of the country.
The first surprise is how quickly you leave highly populated areas behind. Driving the route on a weekday late last July, I was struck by the lack of heavy traffic only a few miles inland from the Pacific Ocean. Then, as the miles passed, the carved and chiseled hills gave way to a number of mountains, including Palomar Mountain.
Another surprise was the Palomar Observatory near the top of Palomar Mountain. It was impressive for its history and its physical size, as well as for its significance to astronomy. The Observatory's unassuming grounds belie its stature in the scientific community.
Delightful, too, were the food discoveries along the way – surprising due to their origins (relying on area produce), preparations and tastes.

Neighborhoods: Northeast San Antonio
Friendly atmosphere and great drink prices – Coco Beach is a great place to dive in for a drink. The patrons are mostly locals and frequent visitors, which makes the bar feel very cozy and relaxed.
The drink prices are nice and allow you to get a good buzz without breaking the bank. Bartenders are very nice, sexy and make it a point to chat with everyone.
There are plenty of TV's and a jukebox that will play anything you want. The music usually ranges from Rap to Rock to Country, but anything goes.
Overall Coco Beach is good place to unwind.
Coco Beach – We were invited to meet friends there on a thursday night. It turned out to be a terrible mistake.
First, the bartenders are extremely rude, and I'm almost positive that one of them was a guy in drag.
The place reeks of urine, vomit, and stale booze that has soaked into the filthy carpet.
Most of the patrons were construction types, and everyone in the bar was ridiculously drunk.
My boyfriend's car was broken into in the parking lot, and my credit card was overcharged by $100. I called the manager and she was so obviously stoned; she just laughed and hung up.
I won't even get into seeing the bartenders selling drugs over the bar.
This place is a dump!

Twitter said today it has adopted a new technology that makes it much harder for phishing e-mails supposedly sent from the company to make it into users' in-boxes.
Nearly a decade in the works, Internet-wide projects designed to keep e-mail safe from scams, spam, and identity-thieving phishing attempts are paying off.
Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Yahoo, PayPal, and others are working together on a standard that can be used across the Internet for blocking phishing e-mails.
The greeting card company is now using an anti-phishing standard known as DMARC to help block fake e-mails.
The self-serve streaming ad company raises a second round of funding from Bain Capital Ventures and existing backers Union Square Ventures and CBS.
Michael Adair is now vice president of corporate development and finance for the woman-oriented publisher.
Moving further away from the radio trade, Google sells its Radio Automation business to WideOrbit, a provider of business management software for media companies.
A wonderfully clean interface and strong features make Microsoft's Outlook.com a promising new player in e-mail, and a clear alternative to Google's Gmail.

The two companies have acquired more than 150 companies, combined, over the last 12 years. Will the M&A spigot get turned down in a merged company?

"Show me a hero, and I'll show you a bum." So said 'Pappy' Boyington, famed commander of the renowned Flying Tigers of World War II, at the end of his biography. Perhaps, less cynically, the appellation could be, "Show me a hero and I'll show you a person who is human and not perfect." People are not born heroes but those who rise above themselves at times of great stress and danger become heroes. And along the way they bring their flaws.
As we have just seen in Jefferson County, this could be the case. This is not a dissection of charges, but a reflection on our perception of events. Certainly Sheriff Shirley did not rise to command and be re-elected, if not for skill, knowledge and ability. Even after the charges were filed, there was vehement support voiced through the Junction and letters to the editor. After all, who would want to believe those charges of anyone, especially someone we know or voted for?
But from where did this support come? Was it based on firsthand knowledge or was it funneled through personal belief systems?
The Jack Bauer, "the ends justifies the means" philosophy of law enforcement is not what this country is based upon, and is, in part, from where the Revolution originally came. It may seem satisfying somehow to see the bad guy take a licking, but it is out of the scope of any law. What was the gain? The man was a failed bank robber, not a terrorist holding the launch codes for an al-Qaida nuclear weapon.
Was Mr. Alemar, the man jogging in camouflage with, what turned out to be, toy guns outside a school, a person who needed help, which was ultimately part of his sentencing, or the poster boy for Second Amendment rights? Opinions seemed to harden before the court had resolved the issue.
Lance Armstrong provides another easy example. After years of denials, lawsuits attacking anyone who said otherwise and personally going out of his way to hurt the careers of detractors, he's crying on Oprah. At first, it was easy to believe so much of this was sour grapes by losers. But after cyclist after cyclist comes out and admits doping, how does the top rider not be a doper himself? Turns out he was. If anything, the other riders should be suing their team doctors for not doing a better job of doping.
These and many more examples provide an opportunity for reflection when we read these cases in the news. Ronald Reagan's theory fits admirably: "Trust, but verify." It is easy to take a cement clad position one way or another when this type of bad news surfaces, but it often leaves us with little wiggle room to walk it backward if things turn out badly. A little temperance and forbearance, while allowing systems to determine the truth, lowers the temperature. No one plans on being a hero, and no one wants to be a bum.

Climate and the Carbon Cycle: Unit Overview
NOTE TO USERS: This module is still under development. Content has not yet been finalized for classroom use.
Why Teach About Carbon and the Earth System?
Carbon, like water, is essential to life as we know it on Earth. It is a component of our DNA and of the foods we eat, and its presence in the atmosphere (in the form of carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas") helps keep our planet warm enough to be habitable. Like water, carbon continuously cycles through the major components of the Earth system—the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, the biosphere, and the solid parts of Earth (geosphere)—driven by processes that occur at incredibly different time scales, from fractions of a second (photosynthesis) to millions of years (formation of fossil fuels).
As significant a role as the carbon cycle plays in our lives, it is poorly understood; whether it's the way in which carbon dioxide supports the growth of plants or functions as Earth's thermostat, misconceptions abound. This module is designed to help students strengthen their understanding of the carbon cycle and carbon's essential role in our lives. Because carbon is connected to everything that matters to us –our bodies, our ecosystems, our climate, and the health of our planet – it makes sense for all of us to better understand this essentially important element and the ways in which it cycles through the Earth system.
Why use this set of lessons?
This unit will introduce students to the basics of the carbon cycle: where carbon is stored in the Earth's system (reservoirs) and by what processes it is moved from one reservoir to another. Using case studies, NASA visualizations, current research, and interactive visualizations on the Web, students will explore how living things on land and in our oceans regulate the carbon cycle. Because carbon and climate are tightly coupled, students will study the effect of altering the amount of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere.
Key questions addressed by this unit include:
- Why is understanding the carbon cycle important to understanding Earth's climate?
- What are the Earth System's components of the carbon cycle and how does carbon move through these components?
- How does atmospheric carbon dioxide function as Earth's thermostat?
- How does the biosphere regulate the carbon cycle; conversely, how does the carbon cycle regulate the biosphere?
- What happens if the normal movement of carbon through the carbon cycle is disrupted?
- Will atmospheric carbon dioxide continue to rise and what can we do about it?
Before starting this unit
- Read the Lab Overviews section, which identifies all of the materials you'll need to gather and provides a quick scope and sequence of the unit.
The resources below provide important background information relevant to this module and to the entire set of Climate EarthLabs modules.

"Expensive but really useful."
The Multisizer 3 is the next generation in particle sizing and counting.
The most versatile particle sizing and counting analyser available today, the Multisizer 3 provides number, volume, mass, and surface area size distributions in one measurement, with an overall sizing range of 0.4 to 1200 microns.
Whatever the industry – abrasives, pharmaceuticals, polymers or biological cell studies – you will get the ultra-high resolution, multiple channel analysis and accuracy you need. The response is unaffected by particle colour, shape,density, composition or refractive index.
Equally at home in a quality control environment or Research and Development laboratory, the Multisizer 3 Coulter Counter provides the analyst with a system which is easy to use, yet so technologically advanced that it is able to solve most particle sizing or counting problems.

Forget about using MAX to get the last inserted id. Race conditions like other users inserting between your SELECT MAX(.. and your INSERT may render your id unusable.
The WAY to get the id is by using mysql_insert_id() or the mysql SQL function LAST_INSERT_ID().
Take care, if using mysql_insert_id() you should provide the resource returned by the mysql_connect, not the resultset returned by mysql_query.

If you would like to make bookings or view availability for Golden Gate Hotel and Chalets, please click on the 'Make Reservation' button.
You can find more information on the booking process by clicking on 'More Info'.
As luminous clouds of dust swirl through the ancient landscape, a tortoise patiently ambles around in search of some succulent morsel, a lizard basks in the sun while gemsboks and red hartebeest share the arid plains with mongoose, orb-web spiders, skinks and leggy toktokkies…
Tankwa Karoo National Park is situated on the southern boundary of the Northern Cape with the Roggeveld Escarpment in the East, Cederberg in the West, and Klein Roggeveld Mountains in the South.
Just a four-hour drive from Cape Town brings you to this truly unique national park. Situated within the Succulent Karoo Biome, the area is renowned for its rare and endemic plant species, rich birdlife, and landscapes that will take your breath away – from the sheer cliffs of the Roggeveld Escarpment to the moonscapes of the Tankwa Desert.
While Tankwa Karoo National Park is still in a developmental and land consolidation phase, expanding from the original 26,000 hectares in 1986 to nearly 143,600 ha by late 2010, it is the ideal destination for those seeking the brightest stars in Africa, a once in a lifetime glimpse of a rare endemic bird or perhaps nothing more than a silence that reaches deep into the soul…
Still available next weekend!

Preview: Ducks at Kings
The league-leading Anaheim Ducks and host Los Angeles Kings make history Saturday as they kick off the NHL Stadium Series at Dodger Stadium in the first regular-season outdoor game set in a warm climate. The Kings were involved in an outdoor exhibition against the New York Rangers that took place on Sept. 27, 1991 in the parking lot of Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, a contest that had a game-time temperature of 85 degrees. The event was deemed a success despite melting ice conditions and swarms of insects, including grasshoppers.Los Angeles looks to snap its four-game winless streak (0-3-1) and avenge Thursday's 2-1 loss at Anaheim. Former King Dustin Penner and Patrick Maroon scored 4:02 apart late in the second period to erase a deficit and help the Ducks improve to 21-1-2 at home. Anze Kopitar netted the lone goal for the Kings, who posted a 3-2 shootout triumph at Anaheim on Dec. 3.TV: 9:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN, CBC, RDS2ABOUT THE DUCKS (38-10-5): Anaheim has struggled offensively since registering a 9-1 victory over Vancouver on Jan. 15, scoring two goals on three occasions and three tallies once in a stretch during which it went 2-2-0. The Ducks have scored 177 goals this season, a franchise record through 53 games. Their 126 goals allowed also is a new club mark.ABOUT THE KINGS (29-17-6): Saturday's contest officially is a home game for Los Angeles, but the Kings are on a stretch during which they play eight straight away from Staples Center. The club kicked off its five-game road trip with a triumph at St. Louis before dropping its next four. Los Angeles takes to the road for two more contests following Saturday's extravaganza before taking on Pittsburgh on Jan. 30 in the opener of a four-game homestand that leads into the Olympic break.OVERTIME1. Kopitar's goal on Thursday ended his 10-game drought.2. Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf was kept off the scoresheet Thursday, ending his eight-game point streak.3.

Steven L. Tuma MBA '71, 75, of Chatham, and formerly of Jacksonville, passed away Sunday, Feb. 24, 2013, at St. John's Hospital in Springfield. He was born Dec. 11, 1937, in Chicago, the son of Elmer and Dorothy Long Tuma. He married Margaret J. "Peggy" Jess on June 19, 1964, and she preceded him in death Jan. 2, 2002. He is survived by one son, Steven S. (Amy) Tuma of Machesney Park; one daughter, Mary Tuma Werries of Chatham; and three grandchildren, Zachary Tuma of Janesville, Wis., and Alyssa and Kyle Werries, both of Chatham. Mr. Tuma was a 1956 graduate of Morton (Illinois) High School, and then attended Roosevelt University in Chicago. During that time, he served in the U.S. Naval Reserve. Upon graduation, he began active duty with the Navy, serving on the USS Nereus. He was honorably discharged in 1967, and began work with the Lockheed Corporation in San Jose, Calif. While at Lockheed, he received his MBA from Santa Clara University. He and his family then returned to Illinois and Steven began work as an engineer with the State of Illinois, retiring from the Illinois Commerce Commission in 1999. Mr. Tuma was a very active member of St. John's Lutheran Church in Chatham, and a member of the Jacksonville Amateur (HAM) Radio Club. He had also been a member of the Jacksonville Lions Club. He was a fantastic "Grampy," and loved attending all of his grandchildren's activities.
Robert L. Granath MBA '71, a resident of San Jose, died on Oct. 27, 2013 at age 80. He graduated with a B.S. in mechanical engineering from the University of Rochester in 1956. Bob worked at Lockheed Missiles and Space for 31 years. During this time he earned an MBA from Santa Clara University. He was Program Manager on Ascent Systems Program and later, Director of the launch base for Lockheed at Vandenberg Air Force Base. He retired in 1991. Survived by his wife Lynn, son Derek MBA '86 (Jennifer), daughter Heidi (Michael Gough), son Todd (Chuckie), son Kent (Mona), and nine grandchildren, Alexis James, Chelsea Deatsch, Braden Gough, Dylan and Jordan Granath, Adam and Elise Granath and Melia and Cole Granath.
Richard Certo '71, September 5, 1949 - May 19, 2013. A resident of Scotts Valley, Certo passed away ten months after he became very ill with a rare type of lymphoma. Richard was born in Oakland, the oldest of five children, and was raised in Santa Clara. He graduated from Buchser High School in 1967, Santa Clara University in 1971, and launched his accounting career at Price Waterhouse. He then worked for Syntex and Argo Systems and moved to Scotts Valley in 1980 to serve as Seagate's first CFO. He spent the next 25 years working in business and venture capital, including time at Bell Micro and Al Shugart International. Richard worked hard and played hard. His passions were golf, good food, family, and friends. More than anything, he loved to laugh and make others laugh. He had an unforgettable smile and a loud, pure, infectious laugh that easily filled a room, a restaurant, or a movie theater. He had a wonderful sense of humor and a playful way of looking at things. He loved to have a good time and knew how important it was to enjoy life. Richard had a quick wit, a sharp mind, and a creative spirit. He loved a challenge, a complex problem, or an opportunity to improve upon something. He always had a project up his sleeve and several ideas brewing in his mind. His creations included "Improve Your Swing" golf app, several patented golf accessories, screenplays, children's books, a taco bar, and a few very eccentric Halloween costumes. He always found ways to keep life interesting and his mind engaged. He took pride in maintaining a beautiful home and yard, where he and his wife hosted many gatherings. Richard loved sports and physical activity. In addition to golfing, swimming, and cycling, he spent many years playing pick-up basketball and coaching youth soccer. In 2003 he participated in the week-long Cycle Oregon event and in 2010 he took the golf "trip of a lifetime" to Scotland. He loved to walk on the beach in Maui, play golf in Mexico, and hike through the forest at Henry Cowell State Park. His loyal corgis, Shorty and Lola, were at his side on countless walks through Hidden Glen. Richard is survived by his wife, Linda Teague, daughter Aly Certo and son-in-law Justin Weaver, son Kyle Certo, and step-children Abbey Teague and Kyle Teague. He is also survived by his siblings: Carol Poulsen, Donna Gamaly, Christine Certo, and Tom Certo. He was preceded in death by his daughter Lauren Certo. Richard's 4-year-old grandson Austin Weaver was the light of his life in recent years. Of Richard's many personal and professional accomplishments, perhaps the most valuable to him was that he was the first to make Austin laugh. Richard had hoped to travel to Southern Italy to explore his family's roots in Sicily. He loved all things Italian - the people, the food, and most of all, the Italian approach to life. Slow down. Enjoy yourself. Live in the moment. Don't take anything too seriously. As his disease progressed, Richard faced the end of his life with calm acceptance. More than once he shrugged his shoulders and said with characteristic ease and humor: "I picked the short straw." He made it home, which was his final wish, and died peacefully. He was surrounded by family and some of his closest friends in his final days. Richard's personality was larger than life, and the void that he leaves is immeasurable. If you wish to do something in Richard's honor, please consider donating blood, joining the national bone marrow registry, or volunteering with an organization that provides support to cancer patients.
Michael John Clark '71, M.A. '72 was born in Richmond, Ind., Jan. 10, 1949. He passed away unexpectedly in San Luis Obispo on July 23, 2013.
He grew up in Campbell after living in Indiana for the first four years of his life. He attended Saint Lucy Catholic School in Campbell from the first through eighth grades.

During his time attending Santa Clara University he met Maryanne Patricia Scott, "Patty."

His students, faculty, wife, children, grandchildren and extended family were everything to him. He was dedicated to always making them happy. His sense of humor, smile and his laughter were contagious. He was selfless and often unwilling to take credit for his accomplishments. He always fought for the underdog and a just outcome. The likes of him will not soon enter this world again.

Paul Strauss is serving his third term as US senator for the District of Columbia. As a non-voting representative to the US Senate, Strauss lobbies the Senate and the House of Representatives on behalf of DC citizens in their attempt to gain full federal representation, self-determination and eventually admittance to the union as the nation's 51st state. Senator Strauss also works closely with DC's Congressional Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, the Mayor and the DC Council members to advance the interest of local residents on federal issues.
The Honorable Michael D. Brown is currently serving is first term as the Junior United States Senator for the District of Columbia. First elected in 2006, Senator Brown works to promote DC Statehood and full voting rights for the citizens of the District of Columbia. Prior to his election as senator, he was an elected member of Advisory Neighborhood Commission 3E, representing Single Member District 3E-02. He serves as president of the Western Avenue Citizens Association and is a vestry member of St. David's Episcopal Church.
Senator Michael D. Brown was elected in 2006 with 84% of the vote. He serves the people of the District of Columbia as an advocate for statehood and voting rights. He has traveled across America speaking on these issues and helped in the effort to pass the 2008 DC Voting Rights Act. In the 110th Congress this bill passed the House and came three votes short of cloture in the Senate. He maintains an office at the Wilson Building where he works with the DC Council on issues that affect the District at the federal level. President-elect Obama has said that "even without a vote (Senator Brown) has always been a strong advocate for the rights of DC residents." His current term expires in 2013.
For the past 24 years he has been the President of Horizon Communications, a DC based consulting firm that provides services to Democratic candidates and public interest groups nationwide. He has worked on many Presidential Campaigns and was an Obama Super-Delegate at the 2008 Democratic Convention in Denver. In addition, he helps train Democratic Candidates who run for public office and was a former Director at the Democratic National Committee here in Washington. He is also an elected Democratic Committeeman, former ANC Commissioner and President of the Western Avenue Citizens Association. Senator Brown is a graduate of the University of Maryland. He believes that the best way to enfranchise the citizen of Washington is through statehood.
The Honorable Nate Bennett-Fleming is currently serving his first term as the United States Representative for District of Columbia, a position he was first elected to in 2013. Representative Fleming works to bring attention to the District's lack of voting representation in Congress and limited home rule.

William Keith (American (born Scotland), 1838-1911)
Landscape, 1879
Oil on canvas 36 in. x 60 in. (91.44 cm x 152.4 cm)
Crocker Art Museum, E. B. Crocker Collection1872.47
William Keith was born in the small village of Oldmeldrum, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. At twenty-three, he moved with his mother to New York where, in the summer of 1856, he apprenticed as a wood engraver. He put his skills to use at Harper & Brothers publishers, staying with the company until 1859 when he came west and settled in San Francisco. At first, he did commercial work but soon began to look toward becoming a fullfledged professional artist. In 1863, he hired still-life painter Samuel Marsden Brookes to give him lessons in oil painting.
Keith began exhibiting watercolors in 1866, and these works drew favorable critical comment. The next year he began painting in oil. Still largely self-taught, he planned a trip to the East and Europe for further training. He studied in Düsseldorf with landscape painters Andreas Achenbach and Albert Flamm and then traveled to Paris.
Keith left Europe on the eve of the Franco-Prussian War. He spent most of 1871 in Maine and then opened a studio in Boston with the German artist William Hahn, whom he had met in Düsseldorf. He returned to San Francisco in 1872 and became actively involved in the city's art scene. His paintings during this period included depictions of the Sierra Nevada, Yosemite Valley, and other notable sites, which he explored in the company of naturalist John Muir. He was particularly fond of painting Marin County's most significant topographic feature, Mount Tamalpais, depicting it even when he was not in California.1
As his career progressed, Keith's landscapes became increasingly domesticated and darkly spiritual, manifesting changing trends in art as well as his Swedenborgian faith. "When I began to paint, I could not get mountains high enough nor sunsets gorgeous enough for my brush and colors," he explained. "After a considerable number of years experience, I am contented with very slight material—a clump of trees, a hillside and sky."2
1. Keith is known to have produced a commissioned Tamalpais painting while in Düsseldorf and to have shown another view of the mountain in Boston in the spring of 1872. The Crocker's circa 1871 painting may have been painted in the East.
2. Lecture delivered to the Longfellow Society at the University of California, 1888, quoted in Raymond L. Wilson, William Keith: A Changing Vision (Fresno: Fresno Art Center, 1984).

Simple 30 minute mod that can be done with hand tools in the driveway. Fit was excellent- no tweaking required. Sound is terrific- nice rumble but, not loud or obnoxious. No drone or resonation while driving. Sound in cabin was barely noticeable under light throttle but, just right when you step on it. Highly recommend this product.

"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is. At eCOST, by clicking on "Click here to see Lowest Price" you are essentially asking to see the price, at which point we show it to you.

Venture for America, a program arriving in Cleveland soon that seeks to turn new graduates into entrepreneurs, is sending its first group of students into the business world.
"They've fanned out across New Orleans, Las Vegas, Detroit, Providence and Cincinnati," The New York Times reports. "They're now starting two-year jobs at an eclectic array of startups, ranging from Are You a Human, which designs game-based verification systems to thwart spam bots, to Kickboard, an online dashboard that helps teachers track student performance and behavior."
One Venture for America grad is Kathy Cheng, 22, who graduated in June from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and then took a Venture for America fellowship at Doodle Home of Detroit. The 15-employee, web-based company helps interior designers manage projects, request product samples and quotes, and build profiles to woo potential clients.Doodle Home was started two years ago by Jennifer Gilbert, whose husband, Dan Gilbert, is the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers, founder of Quicken Loans and the brains behind entrepreneurship accelerator Bizdom. The Times says Doodle Home "operates from a slick downtown tech hub called the M@dison that Mr. Gilbert unveiled in 2011 as part of a broader effort to re-energize the Motor City."Ms. Cheng tells the newspaper, "If you'd asked me last year, Detroit was the last place I thought I'd end up." That changed as she began thinking about the potential of entrepreneurship to revitalize cities."Back then, I thought I wanted to do management consulting," she tells the newspaper. "But you know how sometimes things just click into place? It was like that."Venture for America founder Andrew Yang "is gearing up to recruit a fresh batch of 100 fellows and exploring a handful of cities – Baltimore, Cleveland, New Haven, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Raleigh-Durham – for possible expansion in 2013," The Times says. His long-term objective: creating 100,000 jobs by 2025.
Jones & Wenner, an insurance brokerage in Fairlawn, provides the lead anecdote for this USA Today story about small business owners seeking affordable ways to fight off cybercriminals."Nasty things began happening" at Jones & Wenner not long after the company decided it had grown large enough to handle company email in-house, the newspaper says. The free web mail services its 20 employees had used to conduct business no longer cut it, so it bought a Microsoft Outlook Exchange email server."Within weeks, email spam began to inundate each employee's inbox, much of it carrying viral attachments or links to poisoned web pages, recalled Joyce Sigler, Jones & Wenner's information technology vice president," USA Today says."We caught a virus that actually moved from one machine to another," Ms. Sigler tells the newspaper. "Someone just opened something they shouldn't have opened."For companies such as Jones & Wenner, the Internet "is a powerful enabler of new efficiencies," USA Today says. "But it also exposes them to savvy and persistent cybercriminals seeking weak prey."Small and midsize businesses "face a heightened risk, because many lack the wherewithal to recover from the long-run consequences of a serious breach," says Lawrence Pingree, research director at technology research firm Gartner.USA Today notes that global spending on security equipment and software by companies of all sizes is "in the midst of a multiyear run of 8.9 percent annual growth — and is projected to rise to $85.8 billion in 2016, up from $56 billion in 2011, despite a sputtering economy, according to Gartner."Ms. Sigler "had to rebuild the operating systems of several corrupted PCs, causing downtime for workers who depend on their machines to provide customer service and interact with partner insurance carriers," according to the story. The insurance firm now routes all its incoming email to AppRiver, a company based in Gulf Breeze, Fla., that filters spam and provides other hosted security services for cleansing."It's like night and day," Mr. Sigler says. "We're about selling insurance, so that's not really where we wanted to spend our time."
Planning a trip to Duluth, Minn., next month? (OK, probably not, but stay with me.) You'll be able to get a taste — or make that a sip — of home.The Pine Journal of Carlton County, Minn., reports that craft beers made by Cleveland's Great Lakes Brewing Co. will start appearing on Duluth store shelves Oct. 1."The company recently announced its plans to enter the Duluth market working with Bernick's Beverages and Vending as part of the brewer's strategic growth plans," according to the newspaper.The Duluth market rollout will include customer appreciation events, meet and greets, tastings and giveaways in the area, said co-owner Pat Conway."Many breweries choose a strategy of being a mile wide and an inch deep," Mr. Conway said in a statement. "We prefer to penetrate deeper into existing markets. Entering Duluth is an extension of that idea."

March 2010: Fotopic problems here
For Fotopic issues 2 and 3 January 2009, click here
Further to the recent post on bus photography, I have received an email from someone wishing only to be identified as 'Chaserider* about the growing resentment regarding bus photography. His recent incident makes an interesting and regrettable case study
'As someone who's been taking pictures of bus services on and off for over 30 years, I have been following your couple of posts on photography with interest. In my time, I have only ever been challenged three times, once three years ago, and twice recently in as many months. The most recent was a fortnight ago.
'These last two were nothing to do with safety or accusation of terrorism or taking pictures near children – but by drivers who didn't want to appear on film. It links to the notice in the window of Loonat Coaches you referred to.
'It was about 0837 and I had just taken a picture of a First Dennis Lance about to pick up passengers on the 61, in Redditch [Worcestershire]. The driver drew alongside and asked, "Do you have permission to take pictures of drivers?" I replied "Do I need permission to take pictures of drivers?" "Yes" came the reply. I answered, "Actually I was taking the bus and I don't need permission. You had better get on your way because you don't know what you're talking about". The driver hesitated, looked at this ETM and went round on to the stand.
'Positioned as I was just outside the bus station, I was firmly on the public highway. You will see from the picture I took that the driver petty much unidentifiable. Even so, I found this unhappy exchange unnerving, upsetting and disturbing, all at once.
'It seems that to add to the list that includes false accusations of health & safety breaches, terrorism and potential pædophilia there is also the unwanted attention of bus drivers. I blame the over use of Fotopic for this attitude among drivers, something I have never encountered till recently, apart from a few spiteful V flicks from time to time. It seems that our hobby is under threat for the first time ever, from various quarters including, now, hostility from the industry itself. I might add that my job requires that I am CRB vetted to the highest, enhanced level.'
Omnibuses Blog Response
First, as I stated in one of this site's earliest posts, the really industry should cultivate and not alienate enthusiasts. While photography on the street remains legal, it seems to me that it's in each operators' interests to adopt a positive attitude towards enthusiasts and therefore photography.
Secondly, you were within your rights, if you were where you say. There are situations when you should seek permission but being on the public highway is not one such.
Thirdly, I don't think your reply to the driver was especially helpful. He may have left you alone, but he may just have felt a little aggrieved. Better that you use a different response (a sperate post, to follow soon).
Remember when you can and should never take bus photography.

I am a part time driver and I dislike people taking pictures of me while I am at work. The issue for me is that the nuisance digital camera makes it too easy for anyone to take almost anything. wHen I am in the pcture I feel violated. It does not matter that the gricer is taking the bus and not me because I am in it. There should be more consideration on the part of the GRICER. Woulod you like me to come around and take a picture of YOU while you are going about yopur legal business? then publish it all over the internet?
PS love this blog!!

Anonymous, why do you feel 'violated' when you are in a picture that an enthusiast takes of your bus? I'm afraid that attitude is something that I simply do not understand, but I'd be interested to know what lies behind it.
The only instance I can recall when a photo including me was published, was when I was sat on the top deck front seat of a preserved bus that was photographed arriving at a rally, and appeared in 'Buses Annual' a year or so later. I remember that I was wearing a rather 'loud' tie, that my wife thinks is awful (no taste!), but you could hardly see that on the photo. My only regret is that the bus was not a Bristol/ECW combination. I think my friend (also on the front seat) and I were really proud of this 'achievement' at the time. After all, to be honest, I'm not half as photogenic as my alter ego!
Sorry, Anonymous, but you shouldn't take it too seriously. Life's too short to worry about these sort of things.
And, yes Busing, you're right about operators needing to cultivate relations with enthusiasts. I recall a friend of mine, not employed in the industry, who was always the first to defend his local municipal operator against criticism in the local press. His letter of defence was always there before the operator's response - if they ever got around to sending one.
I'm looking forward to your suggestions for a suitable response to these situations. Here's one from me - pretend to be a foreigner who can't speak English!
- 09 July, 2008 22:30
As a driver I have no problem with photography - with one exception. Many people leave on the auto flash - this has happened to me several times in last few months - and when a picture is taken with flash it is distracting - so a message to all those folk taking pics - please do not use flash!!!!
- 10 July, 2008 08:48
Sorry Anonymous 20:09 thats part of the job - if you don't like it then tough - you're in the wrong job. What do you have to hide??
I think you'll find that very few photos can clearly see the driver anyway - so could be getting all upset about nothing.
- 10 July, 2008 15:58
Being careful what to post here as I don't wish to ID the exact location or Company, however, In my managerial capacity I was sent an email from a complainant who was harmlessly taking pictures of my buses "in action" whilst stood in a very public place. The driver of the bus in this picture is aggresively making a single finger gesture at the camera. The complainant stated that the majority of my drivers gave him a cheery wave when they saw him. His point about the offensive gesture was that the driver was on a tendered service, the picture taker could have been a representative from the Council, checking on either driver or vehicle standards. He could have been from the Traffic Commissioners office or even VOSA, again checking on presentation, etc. Most of my drivers know of my own penchant for bus photograpy and so maybe a little more receptive than other companies drivers. I think these negative reactions are all part of the lilly liberal "human rights" brigade who forget that as well as having rights people have responsibilities. My driver will be attending an interview to explain why he thought it ok to bring our Company into disrepute.
(I do agree with the driver's comments on here regarding flash photography - a very good point).
- 10 July, 2008 18:51
- RC169 said...
I agree with the comments about flash photography absolutely, but I have to make one observation - there are some other 'cameras' (somewhat less friendly than gricers, I would suggest!) that take photographs of specially selected vehicles which use flash regularly - at least the ones in Germany do. I presume the British ones are similar, but I have never had the joy of seeing one in action! Agree entirely that flash can be a distraction, and therefore a safety hazard, so it seems strange that these 'official' cameras can use it! But that's another matter, I guess!
- 10 July, 2008 20:16
Its Anonymous 2009 here, the one who commented on this post first.
I can't think of any other job that regularly gets your photograph on a website just because some gricer out there fancies the bus your in. true, often you can't actually see the driver but that isn't the point. its my business only whether I stick my photo on the www and nobody else's. Digital Camera's have a lot to answer for.
Why should it be part of the job? I might fancy myself but I am not a model! He he he

Nor am I public property
- 11 July, 2008 11:33
So you drive a bus and know it gets photographed but don't like it. You know it happens, you probably had an inkling that it happens before you took the job on - and yet you still moan. Mmmm
Onto one of the other comments - funny how bus drivers can make obscene gestures, swear and even threaten violence and its seen at the photographer who is at fault, but you don't hear the same about train drivers or airline pilots who probably get photographed as much without acting the same. Wonder why??
- 11 July, 2008 15:01
- RC169 said...
Well, Anonymous 2009, I still don't really understand why you feel violated when somebody takes a photo of the bus you're driving, but I guess the gist of the comments here is that it's a 'hazard of the job' and you just have to accept it. It's probably also worth pointing that, until a few years ago, the legal term for a bus or coach was a 'Public Service Vehicle' - operative word, in this respect, being 'public'. As a driver, you're dealing with and providing a service to the public, so you are in the 'public eye'. And, as Big G pointed out, it's possible that the photographer is from one of a number of official bodies that have an interest in the way the bus service is operated, etc.
I guess if you're really so concerned about it, you should wear sunglasses and a peaked cap when you're driving. Hopefully, you're employer's uniform still includes a peaked cap!!!
- 11 July, 2008 15:12
It's all getting a little anti driver, I can see it from both sides, and have to say that the shots taken inside depots, when specifically requested not to are the ones that have probably led to a lot of the problems. By deliberately flouting depot rules it clearly brings problems down on the heads of the majority.
When it comes to high roads, a little give and take is in order, no flash, is very sensible. I doubt very much if anybody takes a conscience decision to accept or decline a job on the basis they may be photographed at some point. If you are an enthusiast and the bus of your dreams is about to drive past you, I can appreciate you may wish to get that picture and the driver is of little or no consequence to your decision to do that. If your a driver, you may not even know where your picture is likely to end up, who wants to be on you tube for example!
Lighten up, it's not clear cut

I have been a bus photographer for about two years. Firstly I appreciate that some drivers dislike being photographed at work, but by the same token sometimes it is not possible to stop a bus and request a driver's permission before I snap.
Where possible I have tried to take photos obscuring the driver's face either behind the wing mirror or offside front pillar. You still get a good photo angle and I hope that it reduces the driver's discomfort. In fact I've actually found that bigger issues have been with unsavoury gestures from passengers rather than drivers.
I've only been approached once by a driver, after I photographed his bus approaching Wycombe Bus Station. He approached me shortly afterwards and was polite and simply asked if I minded editing him out of the photo if I planned to publish it anywhere.
In today's age of the digital camera and the number of people who have one (or even on their mobile phones) can anybody be sure how many complete strangers may have pictures of you in their possession (I'm not just talking about bus photography now)?

As a bus driver I have no problems with having my picture taken of me or the bus I'm driving! If safe and spotted in time I'll even slow down so they get a good shot of my best side!

I think bus photography is a nice, unique hobby - Drivers can't really be seen in the photo and we do have the rights to. We are taking the photos of the bus, not the driver. But as stated above, don't use flash as the driver could be disturbed and cause an accident. Also, flash makes it hard to see registration plates.

I am a full time driver in Bath and have no problem with people taking photos. Never understand why some people do, for the following reasons.
1. Over the last nine years I have never seen myself in any photo.
2. It would take a lot of work to identify the driver of any bus.
3. I am proud to get paid for something others look at for a hobby.
4. If you have nothing to hide why worry, but then I understand some drivers cover up the CCTV on their buses.
