I've been working on Enterprise Cloud Strategy and in the course of this work identified some interesting and non-obvious opportunities in the Cloud.
One solution I've examined is the well-crafted solution that is enStratus. enStratus has built a SaaS Cloud Management / Governance product focused on providing critical management, monitoring, governance capabilities tailored to the needs of the Global 2000 market, rather than the startup market. As I have worked with a current Fortune 500 client to identify Cloud solution components, my assessment is that enStratus is uncannily well designed for the enterprise market. Yet as a result of working with the enStratus team and product I found not just a management tool, but also a deeply insightful perspective as to the how and what of the Cloud.
To put this another way, as a result of using enStratus, teams will learn from the experienced approach enStratus takes to working in the Cloud and align with these successful practices. Yet enStratus remains open and light, rather than didactic. Again, this is a remarkable achievement in itself. As a result of my work with George Reese and John Willis of enStratus, I now have new insights into the Cloud and how Cloud management, governance, and automation fits into the overall enterprise Cloud opportunity. Where I expect to find functionality, I continue to find a deep intelligence and sophistication that runs through each aspect of the enStratus solution.
While the client I'm working with is primarily focused on Amazon as the Cloud provider, enStratus's vision has resulted in a product that today serves as a single pane of glass for vSphere / VMware, yet also AWS, Eucalyptus, RackSpace, GoGrid, and about 9 other Clouds. At first I was incredulous and probed deeper into the quality of management across these services. Beyond discipline and hard work, what clearly differentiates enStratus is that it takes a very well honed and insightful point of view. In this example, the architecture of the product leverages smart design by creating a Cloud abstraction layer which enables new Clouds and new functionality to be rapidly implemented.
This difference in approach was so striking to me because while I have been working with salesforce.com for years, I remember how early versions of the offering often didn't quite make sense to me, or didn't quite align with what was required for enterprise consumption. I asked George Reese, a founding member and Chief Technology Officer of enStratus how it is that the enStratus vision and service stands-out in terms of the depth and finely honed implementation. George stated that at enStratus, the decision to build a product for the enterprise and solve some of the hard problems early, shapes the overall production strategy.
In practice, this vision of "focuses on solving hard problems" bring the enterprise a powerful solution which not only assists the enterprise in "getting to the Cloud," but also, getting there with a solution that's comfortable and addresses the needs of multiple stakeholders. In terms of the Cloud ecosystem, the enStratus approach raises sea and removes a number of rocks and barnacles and hazards and enables everyone to start at a much higher level of maturity and to focus on the real business of their Cloud strategy rather than on the bits and pieces.
Early Cloud solution requirements I had in mind, but which I suspected were too ambitious given the relative "newness" of all things Cloud, were not only part of enStratus, but implemented with several iterations more maturity and ambition that I had imagined. In some cases, by thinking about why the tool chose to approach a certain problem or certain capability in a certain way, I came to a sudden revelation that enStratus had solved a problem I hadn't even realized was a problem and had done so in a very elegant and practical way. A clear example of the enStratus approach is that enStratus not only manages a Cloud, it addresses what should be a core requirement for every enterprise moving workloads to the Cloud: choice of Clouds and the ability to manage workloads wherever they are through a single pane of glass. And enStratus manages not only compute, but also storage Clouds such as AT&T Synaptic Storage, and on-premise enterprise storage Clouds such as EMC Atmos. I think the reason for what might otherwise seem like early support for storage Clouds is pragmatically driven by enterprise requirements for backing up or migrating workloads across Clouds. This plays a key role in where I see the Big Gorilla opportunity for enStratus.
While one might expect to have to sacrifice nuances or specific capabilities of specific Clouds, enStratus enables each Cloud's unique capabilities to be managed and instrumented and automated. Frankly, most enterprises don't have this kind of technology for any of their earlier generation technology, and what management tools exist require tedious and time consuming integration—the kind that doesn't always get done as readily as one might expect.
Yet because enStratus provides multiple cloud provider integration as "table stakes," the ecosystem of tools for the Cloud raises Cloud to a higher standard and does in fact make the Cloud more immediate, viable, useful, and enterprise ready. And by delivering a solution that manages not just a heterogeneous Cloud, but also vSphere, enStratus addresses a key CIO concern of vendor lock-in and enables a Cloud strategy that can leverage tools rather than requiring the enterprise to build from scratch out of concern for "lock-in." Moreover, while CIOs look to the Cloud and voice concerns over vendor lock-in, the fact that enStratus also integrates with vSphere makes moving forward so much easier.
In other words, it's much easier to move forward with an enterprise Cloud strategy by choosing a vendor such as Amazon that meets current needs, but without the concern that in eighteen months more suitable Cloud vendors will emerge. The flexibility of enStratus enables the enterprise to move forward with the Cloud yet with protection from investing heavily in a couple of Cloud service providers, only to find that business units within the enterprise each may require different types of Cloud services, or that some units may use vSphere internally, but also desire to move some application to Verizon / Terremark. These scenarios are very likely and even desirable and inevitable.
A broad and deep Cloud solution enables the enterprise to execute now and manage all the moving and changing components of the Cloud.This kind of operations is remarkably simple to visualize and explore with a tool like enStratus. And where in the enterprise, multiple stakeholders each require specific privileges at a user / role level of granularity, the enStratus approach provides what I consider not only the required level of flexibility and modeling of users, groups, resources, and roles. Clearly enStratus has worked closely with the enterprise and gotten the enterprise stuff right. In my opinion, enStratus delivers a higher quality and more thoughtfully designed compute, storage, accounting, and corporate cost center charge-backs than VMware's vSphere®. And believe I was pleasantly surprised to learn how the service also enables soft and hard budget capping based on corporate (or other) charge-center codes.
Here's the Best Part, Although at First I didn't Get it At All: Data Visualization Capabilities Targeted for 2012
At first I thought, wow, big data and data analysis is really getting trendy, Why would someone of George Reese's caliber choose to focus so intensively on data? Where is the data anyhow, and what is there in a Cloud management solution to visualize? Clearly, monitoring is something that lends itself to charts, but why would enStratus make Data Visualization a central focus area--it seems like a basic capability.
How could powerful data analysis and visualization capabilities enhance enStratus to create significant business value? I see significant opportunity for analytics and data such as Corporate Performance Management metrics to unlock valuable information about a firm's technology operations, project portfolio, and to monitor and guide such operations so as to realize an unprecedented degree of insight, management, and process monitoring over the enterprise technology portfolio. Think for a moment if the Corporate Performance Management capabilities of a SaaS solution such as Host Analytics were to consume data available to enStratus as a result of enStratus's role as the management pane, but also for monitoring, and orchestration and capture of events and actions.
Such a solution enables a different and more detailed and more insightful tool for examining corporate performance from an application development lifecycle perspective. Because enStratus also provides structured, flexible containers for modeling, managing, and deploying applications, the context for events is part of the solution and it's naturally available for all activity.
In other words, enStratus offers an organic, bottom-up approach to managing and monitoring and analyzing corporate technology projects and resources. This capability contrasts with the rigid and bureaucratic approach to portfolio management tools such as HP's PPM tool. enStratus, by naturally capturing events and context across an enterprise's diverse technology infrastructure, and technology environments maintains and readily queries the context of people, project, resources, events. And in this way, the enStratus framework offers the world a new and powerful tool through which to understand and managie the entire technology portfolio. For the first time, Corporate America has the means to track the lifecycle of even the smallest project along the entire arc of its lifecycle. I don't think I've stated this clearly enough, given how important I thinks this is, so I'm going to try again.
As innovation by small teams seems to lead to more beneficial outcomes, enStratus becomes a perspective business can use to understand innovation and to how to stimulate rather than crush it under the latency of bureaucracy. This bottom-up, organic perspective could lead to insights as to what a firm's actual technology portfolio that naturally associates people, projects, costs, and application releases, and yes, return-on-investment and business value and other presently unknown characteristics of the enterprise. I don't know how to begin to qualify the value of a tool for applying such technology, but it is giant. And this last aspect of the model warrants further discussion. Part of the management and governance capabilities of enStratus that may not be readily perceived by those outside of corporate technology managers, is that enStratus provides the layer that abstracts interfaces to third generation build and deployment services such as Puppet and Chef. Through this abstraction enStratus monitors, tracks, governs, and manages the continuous deployment of applications and "infrastructure-as-code."
The second perhaps non-obvious area where I think Data Visualization and the analysis of the data underscores a key opportunity for companies adopting enStratus, is that enStratus provides a platform on which to define and manage workloads to a service level while also managing which Clouds and regions where a given workload can run. This kind of capability suggests a Phase II hidden opportunity emerging from enStratus's positioning strategy and enterprise focus.The non-obvious opportunity lies not in this fundamental management and governance capabilities, or the fact that enStratus is very well positioned in the enterprise market. This non-obvious opportunity lies in that part of the management solution that involves monitoring Cloud services, and also accounting for costs.
Monitoring and managing virtual machines and storage for thousands of enterprises across multiple clouds means that enStratus holds empirical data describing in detail metrics which describe as a commodity, the value of a given Clouds services compared to all other clouds. So in this way, enStratus describes and holds point-in-time market data for the global cloud market. As the market matures, a very real and global spot market emerges for Cloud services. This capability will in turn drive firms to require a vehicle through which to participate in the Cloud Economy. enStratus will serve as such a vehicle for the enterprise, and provide the abstraction, meta data, and automation through which to participate and through which to take delivery of Cloud Services.
In other words, a service like enStratus provides the abstraction and services required to Broker Cloud Services. And in this way enStratus is positioned to enable arbitrage, swaps, futures, and all manner of trading to be performed with respect to Cloud Resources. This level of efficiency will continue to drive Cloud innovation and competition, while services like enStratus grow to a critical mass, or Network Size that becomes difficult to displace, and extremely profitable in the way that enabling, orchestrating, brokering and managing a multi-trillion dollar Cloud marketplace seems like it might be profitable.

Children are going hungry in Lee County
When we think of hungry children, we think of developing nations. It can be hard to imagine those problems exist here – in our community.
In Southwest Florida, it's becoming increasingly difficult for parents to feed their children. Inflation, job-loss, and low wages are very real challenges for many parents. On average, today's minimum wage has 30% less purchasing power than it did in the '70s. In some cases parents work jobs with wages so low they can't afford to buy groceries.
When parents are unable to feed their children; Federal Food Assistance programs step-in. In these rapidly changing times, however, it's hard to keep up with the growing demand. The latest statistics show:
- Florida ranks fourth in the United States for the number of K-12 students eligible for Federal Food Assistance programs.
- In Lee County more than 62% of K-12 students participate in those programs.
An $80 donation will feed a child for one full school year!
Blessings in a Backpack helps prevent hunger
The "Blessings in a Backpack" program steps-up where federal aid stops by feeding children on the weekend. Every Friday afternoon, children receive backpacks filled with kid-friendly, ready-to-eat items. Students return every Monday morning with an empty backpack, a full stomach, and an eager mind. In the schools we work with In Lee County test scores, reading skills, positive behavior, general health, and attendance have improved dramatically. This happens when children get the nourishment they need.
We rely on private donors like you. 100% of donor proceeds go to feeding children in our backyard. Kids are our future; you can help theirs. An $80 donation will feed a child for one full school year! Donations of all sizes are welcome at through our donations portal or via mail at 12271 Towne Lake Drive, Fort Myers, Florida 33971. All contributions are tax-deductible.

Have you ever opened the door to your fridge and aimlessly stared into it? Sometimes we compulsively interact with our computers, smart phones, fridges, and clocks without having a need for their utilitarian functions. Why do we do this? Is it because these machines have conditioned us to receive relief through our interactions with them? Do we subconsciously turn to them when we need comfort? What if these Pavlovian comfort machines have co-evolved with us based on our expectations from them and started to acknowledge these liminal, in between moments?
Liminoids is the next generation of Pavlovian comfort machines that monitors the user's anxiety level and manages it during liminal moments. The current line consists of a wireless biosensor network comprised of a wearable accessory, mini-fridge and wall clock. Liminoid Orbis is a wearable accessory that detects the user's anxiety level and dictates when the rest of the network will manifest liminal functions. Upon activation, Liminoid Frigus, the mini-fridge and Liminoid Temporis, the wall clock, will temporarily cease performing their practical roles and comfort their users through audio-visual tactile experiences.
Through their compulsive use of Pavlovian comfort machines, might users develop a higher level of awareness of their psychological states?

Droid Razr Maxx trumps the iPhone as Verizon's best-selling handset
Apple's iPhone has been overtaken as the best-selling smartphone among the top three wireless carriers in the US, according to analyst Anil Doradla from William Blair & Company. In a note to investors this week, Doradla says that the Droid Razr Maxx has become the most popular handset among Verizon customers.
Doradla suspects the iPhone's slip on Verizon isn't related to customers holding out for the next generation model expected later this year but rather a heavy marketing campaign by the carrier to sell more 4G LTE devices like the Razr Maxx.
CNET writer Eric Mack said Verizon's push to get customers to buy LTE products lines up with his own personal experience as he was directed towards the 4G Razr and Galaxy Nexus after asking about the iPhone 4S when calling the carrier earlier this year. The customer service rep was reportedly quick to point out the iPhone's lack of 4G LTE compatibility.
Despite the slip on Verizon, the analyst isn't concerned about Apple's prospects for the future. The new iPhone is expected to ship with a 4G radio, leading Doradla to believe that it will be an important catalyst for Apple. Furthermore, he reiterates his Outperform rating on Apple shares.
For what it's worth, the iPhone is still the top selling smartphone at both AT&T and Sprint. On Verizon, the Galaxy Nexus ranked third in Doradla's "checks." It's unclear exactly what methods he used to gather sales information for his investor report.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
What I think is surprising is that it's the RAZR Maxx. That extra battery in the Maxx costs an additional $100 last I checked. There are many phones with 4G, but this goes to show how much people value battery life.
(tip, save yourself the $100 and download JuiceDefender)
Mike, thanks very much for the tip. I just got a Samsung Galaxy Nexus a couple of days ago. This is my first smartphone and I was shocked at how much juice was used with the phone in 'normal' mode. As a new user, do you have any other suggestions for apps that might help me determine what I can 'turn off' with respect to my data? I am finding that my 2 GB a month ain't gonna cut it.
Nothing general (that I know of), no. Each app kinda does it's own thing. The Pro version ( think) of JuiceDefender allows you to block internet access to any app individually, either when the screen is on or off. Works great for game apps that only use your connection to download ads. Otherwise you'll have to config each app on it's own. Like Pulse (best news app I've seen) will drain your battery really fast if you allow auto-updating (especially if you have a slow connection *cough* SPRINT). There's a setting to make it auto-update only over wi-fi. You can also set JD to enable wifi based on your location.
I used to use an extended battery with my EVO 4G until I got juice defender and noticed I was going to bed with 80% battery left. The most I'll ever use in a month is 500MB (on pace for about 150MB this month) but Sprint's 3g network is so slow that I don't do much online with my phone away from home. But... I don't see a difference in usage when I look at my history from before or after I started using JD.

I would also recommend fine tuning the data usage options within settings. Since the galaxy nexus is running android 4.0 ICS you can set limits to how much data a specific app uses in a month. I have found this feature to be the best for monitoring your mobile data usage. Other then that I would recommend connecting your phone to wifi networks as much as possible.
hope this helps
The best video I could find:
Not surprising. The Razr Maxx is better in so many important ways. And once it finally gets ICS it'll be a truly unstoppable phone.

Hi monkey102010. Good luck with your kids. I posted a response to your comment on the "tune up and oil change" thread. Take care.
I enjoyed your "rental topic". It shows you care and I hope I was supportive about your concerns. Some GBs have trouble putting themselves in someone else's shoes. Take care :-) .
Check email,Thanks
the address you gave was on the northwest side of NDM, but if you have a station that is on the northeast side then it would be in N Tampa, wich runs from NDM to Livingston on the east which makes for a big area. stations east of livingston are listed as NE Tampa. hope this helps you.
Please change your Tampa North location to show all stations along and west of NDM as Tampa NW or Carrollwood! this avoids confusion with stations east of NDM to Lutz!!

Wind Turbine Can't Handle The Storm, Goes Out With Flying Blades Of Fury
I'm from the school where you'd think more wind for a wind turbine would just mean more energy. Well, as this video proves, that is not always the case. Storm winds for this turbine spelled awesome disaster (although they spelled it awsum disastur, storm winds can't really spell) and a chance for super-sweet slow-motion replays. Poor turbine, just out there trying to produce some green energy, and next thing you know "BA-DOOOSH!" it's in a million pieces and generating no energy whatsoever.

Book British Airways flights to Pisa and discover idyllic Tuscany with its iconic sights.
Breathtakingly beautiful scenery, iconic sights, artistic treasures and gastronomic delights await you in Pisa and the surrounding area. The vibrant university town is an ideal base for exploring idyllic Tuscany.
Pisa is, of course, best known for its legendary Leaning Tower. But the famed architectural anomaly is only one of a quartet of monumental marvels to be found in this enticing Tuscan town. Blend in an exuberant café culture and nightlife courtesy of Pisa's student population, and the gleam of this undersold gem reveals itself. Or why visit the neighbouring city of Florence? Home to some of the world's most celebrated artistic masterpieces, this ultra-chic city will satisfy the appetite of the most voracious culture seeker. If it doesn't, Tuscany's renowned culinary pleasures and wonderful wines will. Then there's the region's smorgasbord of glorious scenery, peppered with such delights as Siena, Lucca and Arezzo. Fly to Pisa and get ready to tuck into Tuscany.

Round 1 Recap - Women College 7s |
Sevens - Collegiate Sevens | |
Round one of the Women's College 7s Championship has concluded, and true to the nature of 7s, a couple of surprises highlighted the opening games. Most notably, Princeton dropped a 14-0 contest to James Madison. The Tigers were predicted to go deep into the tournament, but this early-stage stumble cast some doubt. But all credit to James Madison, who saw patience pay off with tries from Callie Radday and Caitlin Mundy, and conversions from Stephanie Goetz and Laura Dominick. Another shocker occurred in the Stanford v Ohio State match-up. OSU did well to discredit any notions of underdog status, trouncing the Cardinal 29-5. The Buckeyes' two most consistent performers – Akua Adu-Gyamfi and Stephanie Bowers – accounted for all five of Ohio State's tries, Adu-Gyamfi dotting down three times. Look out for these two when all-tournament selections start being discussed. Also somewhat shocking, but for different reasons, Navy got by Northern Iowa 5-0. Only a try from Katherine Smith at the end of the first half enabled the victory. UNI was oh-so-close to tying it up (see Dennis Hawk's photo right) but Navy caught a lucky break. The day will only get more difficult, as Navy prepares for Colorado, which just lost out to Harvard 14-10. On the opposite side of the spectrum, Norwich turned heads during the opening match, defeating Sam Houston State 45-0. Freshman phenom Ally Day kicked off the scoring with back-to-back tries, before teammates Hannah Bell, Vanessa Champagne, Jackie Derocher and Corinne McElroy joined in the scoring spree. Emily Baugus added five conversions. Around the rest of the field, Oregon State impressed with a 24-5 win over Texas Tech, with Hannah Lockwood accounting for nine points on a try and two conversions. And Cal kept Boston College in their own end for the majority of the match, and used that territory to win 12-0. Check out the box scores here and stay tuned for player and coach feedback.

I have had these shoes for about a year, wear them all the time, and they still look great. I has seen some reviews about chafing on the back of the ankle and I have not had any. They have been comfy since the beginning. Can't say that I would recommend them if you are planning on walking long distances but maybe that's just my arches. Overall I would highly recommend them
Just got these in the mail a few days ago. I love Patagonia, and these are an awesome addition to my collection. Comfortable, breathable, and nice enough to wear to class with a pair of khakis. I read lots of comments that these shoes get pretty stanky, but I haven't experienced that yet. Also minimal blistering over the first few days with 'em!
These shoes are wonderful! They are extremely comfortable and help keep my feet dry.The top of these shoes are dotted with holes, which gives them a more casual look. I am fortunate that I am able to wear these casual shoes to work, which is where I wear them most often and I have been very satisfied with them.Because these shoes are so lightweight, the light material used for the sole of this shoe seems like it may not last long with constant wear or with someone who is hard on their shoes. It also seems the sole could be punctured much more easily than a standard shoe, so these are not shoes to be worn for hiking or at construction sites.
These shoes are so comfortable I ran a marathon in them! Ok, well, not really but I have taken them back and forth to the Village about 100 times already, a roundtrip of 6 blocks!I get great comments about them all the time and they don't get stinky, even after a whole hot day in them. Love the venting on top as well as my feet tend to get very warm very quickly.Great shoe for walking and cruising around town, nice fit, green material and an enduring product! Just what I would expect from Patagonia!

It's ambitious enough to aim at polished, intelligent character drama, and pulls it off successfully. Read full review

My aunt gave it to her. She had purchased it back in May when we got the free ship code. My daughter loves her and sees no problem with her eyes but it is so obvious that her right eye is pointing to the right instead of straight forward. She is still pretty but she looks like she has a lazy eye. I did call CS and I am sure they will send me another doll once I can get a hold of my aunt's billing information I just did not have it with me today.

The Navy has finally released the request for proposals for its much anticipated Next Generation Enterprise Network, the system intended to supplant the Navy-Marine Corps Intranet, Nick Wakeman reports in Washington Technology. The final RFP came out late Wednesday night. . Proposals are due July 18 and the Navy says it expects awards by Feb. 12, 2013. The Navy has put a price tag of $4.5 billion on the contract over five years, but Deltek has pegged the value at $10 billion over 10 years.

LAMC 2012: What Does "Latin Alternative" Mean?
Twitter: @BarbotRobot
al·ter·na·tive //ɔlˈtɜrnətɪv, æl-// adjective
6. employing or following nontraditional or unconventional ideas, methods, etc.;
existing outside the establishment: an alternative newspaper; alternative lifestyles
These days, since everyone's trying to define the "Latino market" – their likes and dislikes, their look, their language, and their thoughts – it's more and more important to celebrate what's different. Latinos are newer and younger in this country than anyone else, and we're growing more complex, more plural, all the time. We mix and remix culture, borrowing from the new and the old, the English and the Spanish and the Spanglish, the norteamericano and the latinoamericano – and not just from whichever country our viejos are from, either.
The great American melting pot is loaded with cilantro and a pinch of sazón.
Of course, this extends to music. For every mainstream there is an equal and opposite collection of more interesting scenes – "Latin" isn't a genre, no matter what the shelf at your local music store tries to tell you, in much the same way that "alternative" isn't; both are umbrellas covering tons of different styles that have some basic things in common. It's only natural, then, that "Latin alternative" not only exists, but thrives.
So throw away the categories, because you don't need them anyway. Explain to your friends that moombahton and reggaeton aren't the same thing; that ñu-cumbia is like cumbia but, well, new; that there's rock in Spanish and all sorts of Latin music in English and that Latinos can make any kind of music they want, have their hands in as many jars as they see fit, and not be any less authentically whatever.
The above is featured in print in this year's¬ÝLAMC – Latin Alternative Music Conference – guidebook. LAMC 2012 begins tomorrow, 7/11.

Trim: 2008 Nissan Pathfinder SE 4X4, Owned 5 years.
I really like the pick up of this vehicle. It is very stylish and I get compliments when my friends ride with me. The bose srereo is awesome and the rear view camera comes handy.
The air conditioning went out in first few years, I called Nissan when the car was out of warranty under 50,000 miles, they didn't want to do anything so I have to pay out of my pocket. This is lame for an automaker who is known for its quality. And I live in Michigan and there was a big snow storm here, I drove like 25 miles and the transmission got stuck. Next day when it warmed up a little bit, it started working again. It happened twice in winter, so I had to leave my keys in the car for the whole night because the car won't go into neutral, it was no fun. Also there is some kind of rattling sound coming from rear, something is vibrating.
Overall review:
I like driving it I don't know if I am going to consider another Nissan.

Sturdy, well made, comfortable, and looks cool.
3rd row seat a little small for adults.
Overall review:
I love my Pathfinder! I have had it for just over 1 year now (purchased it new 6/08), and I am still in love with it. It is fun to drive, and I have had no trouble with anything to date. The only fault I can find is that the 3rd row seat is fit for children only. There really isn't enough room back there for an adult to sit comfortably. Other than that, I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone who is looking for a fun vehicle to drive.

The gas mileage, but everyone new about that before they bought it.

I don't understand the nitwit that rated the truck low because it got broken in to. That review should be removed as it i not relevant to performance, styling and interior. My last vehicle was a Ford Bronco and I put $10,000 into it over 6 years. My last Nissan was a mini-pickup that I put 175,000 miles on with only one repair. At 175K the front axle broke. I hope I get that lucky again.

COLUMBUS, OH - Meetings will be taking place across the state at 14 locations to discuss recreational trail funding and development issues. The meetings will be open to the public and will be set up in an open house format so attendees are encouraged to arrive anytime.
The meeting for Hamilton, Butler, Warren and Clermont counties will be taking place on September 9, 2008 from 5 - 7 p.m. at the Fairfield Lane Library (1485 Corydale Drive, Fairfield, OH 45014, 513-826-3238).
The discussion will revolve around identifying priority trails in the state, identifying key issues facing trail development and what assistance the Office of Trails can provide, as well as the development of an online statewide recreational trail map. Findings from these meetings will help guide the Ohio Department of Natural Resources trail grant programs for the next several years. Local participation is critical to producing a complete and visionary planning tool to ensure a coordinated approach to statewide, regional and community trail systems.
