Recap: Three editions of LeWeb Social Business Track
I was lucky enough to be the curator and host of "LeWeb Social Business Track" during the last two years. It started in Paris in 2011, then London and Paris in 2012 where a total of around 60 speakers joined us for this specific program.
This track is all about the companies (consumer brands, B2B, non profit etc.), digital agencies, solution providers and social media experts who have shared the best strategies, practices and examples that have propelled them to success.
What's very interesting is that this content is very low time-sensitive, and as everything that happens at LeWeb is recorded, streamed live and then published on Youtube.com/LeWeb, I recommend to anyone to have a look at it, and learn from it. In this recap, I'll share companies' names only, but each time executives and doers are speaking on behalf of the brand or company.

Latest news
This is a recap of worth-sharing personal news or activities happened during previous months.
- Cookening is going very well. We're close to launch our alpha (we're testing things privately since August actually). Very, very excited.
Things I wrote:
- I did a mentor session at Le Camping with some advices about pitching your startup (on stage, during events, to the Press). My slides are on SlideShare and the video is on LeCamping website.
- My slides about the Food & Tech ecosystem, that I initially did for the Web2Day conference (video here) were a hit. PetitWeb did an article (Fr) about it in September, and I was invited to present them again during a FrenchWeb workshop.
- I wrote an article about social travel for Influencia Magazine #3 about Mobility. Available online for free (in Fr)
- I wrote a guest post (Fr) about the new Twitter search in Greg's blog I'm still convinced about the potential of this, but I wish Twitter would bring this feature on mobile, and make it stable…
- I've also written an article for the next edition of EBG book Internet Marketing 2013 that will be published in November.
Other Activities
- I keep giving lectures at business schools (that has two main benefits: practicing even more public speaking, and getting some money for Cookening). This year, I speak about collaborative consumption (slides here), how to launch on the web , tips on networking/working in the web industry, and a regular workshop about web innovation.
- I joined Sup'Internet as an advisor for the E-Business bachelor (the worskhop I just talked about is done at Sup'Internet). Objective there is to help define the program and find external speakers.
- I'm involved again in LeWeb this year, as I did for London'12 and Paris'11 editions. I'm especially in charge of curating and hosting the Social Business Track.
- The private Facebook group for French Startupers I created is going well. We're almost 500 now, with interesting things shared and discusses. Ping me if you wanna join.
- And if you're interested in getting some advice for entrepreneurs and startupers, check my curation on Scoop.it
And on a personal note, I'm now a happy married man ;)
Gartner Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies 2012
It's a tradition since I'm blogging. Every year in august, I'm waiting for the new edition of the Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies, edited by Gartner. Here is the 2012 one that has just been published.
After all these years looking at it, I've come to the conclusion that we do not have to see this cycle as granted, but more as something that gives us some perspective, that validates some trends etc. Very often, it'll be true, by showing the current state of a technology and the time it will need to reach maturity, but sometimes, this time is really bad evaluated, because markets change unexpectedly. I really invite you to compare the different editions (see below for links).
A few interesting things for this year's cycle:
- 3D Printing, BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and Social Analytics are at the peak
- Virtual words are still in the through, as last year
- Cloud Computing starts to be less trendy, which is not a surprise.
- I'm surprise to see that Gamification is considered as having not yet reached the peak
- It should take more than 10 years for the Internet of Things to have a mainstream adoption. I bet this will be at the peak next year.
- Crowdsourcing, which is part of the Web 2.0 era, is back here in the trigger. This is definitely the Kickstarter effect.
- While Speech Recognition is reaching the plateau of productivity, related technology speech to speech recognition will be soon at the peak.
And if you want to compare it with previous editions:

We need to fight Mediocrity!
There's a lot of mediocrity being celebrated, and a lot of wonderful stuff being ignored or discouraged
Sean Penn
It can sound arrogant or pretentious to say so, but I really think we need to encourage people to fight mediocrity! It's perhaps one of the most dangerous poisons of our current lives. But what is mediocrity? Mediocrity is this status between bad and good, when something is not suffisant, not qualitative. The problem of mediocrity is not only its intrinsic definition, but also, and perhaps more important, is the fact that people are satisfied with mediocrity. Fighting mediocrity is fighting its production, and also its celebration.
Mediocrity is everywhere in the tech world for example:
- Startups that limit themselves to copy a concept, or do something cheap (a good example: all the daily deals stupid websites)
- Medias, and especially blogs that write articles about topics they don't know anything about or just because it generates trafic, so they produce crap.
- Consultants or any business guys, who just tries to do the minimum viable, and not the best.
In my post about me turning entrepreneur, I wrote something that people remembered "My project will be huge. Actually, it's either it's huge, or it isn't". I've thought a lot about it since I've started the project and met plenty of people. What I really think is that not only am I trying to build an ambitious project, not only do I want to change things, but I'm also trying to fight mediocrity as much as I can. I don't want to take the easy way, I don't want shortcuts that lead me to bad quality.
And as in Sean Penn's quote that I used to start this post, not only do we need to fight mediocrity in what we're doing, but we also need to fight mediocrity celebration!
Oh, and I need your help. If you ever think something I say, write or produce is mediocre, please tell me. Honestly.
The Food Picture Dilemma
Let's pretend I'm eating a really delicious meal (that I prepared by myself or not, whatever) and I want to share a picture from my mobile.
Homemade Cassoulet
How can I decide on which social media I'll post my pic?
- Google+
- Path
- Foodspotting
- Foodreporter
- Evernote Food (if you want to remember it somewhere)
- Foursquare (if the dish is from a restaurant)
Socialgrapes(if it's not a dish but a good bottle of wine)
Ok, I think you got the idea, and actually I could keep this list going. Of course Facebook and Twitter can generally be updated directly from the other apps (but this still isn't the case for Google+) but there's still a choice to make:
- is my picture a general update (then => Facebook, Twitter)
- do I want to share it a with a limited group (then = Google+, Path)
- is it primary a nice picture (then => Instagram)
- is the dish the most important (then => foodreporter or foodspotting)
I'm convinced there's an opportunity for niche communities such as the ones around food, but it's more and more difficult to have user mindshare…
As I explained in a previous post, I am more and more interested in new trends regarding food consumption and tools that aim at increasing the sharing experience when we eat, cook or buy food. I'm testing a lot of new (or less) new apps so please share if you have any that I should check or test.

Hi again,
I have a friend that is a personal trainer and is in need of a new camera. He wants to be able to take action shots of himself in his gym, as well as have capability of taking video if possible for marketing purposes. He has a budget of $400. The priority is taking action shots, not so much the video. Again, I don't know much about P&S cameras, so I was hoping to get suggestions. I'm assuming he'll need a good aperture and ISO performance, and a decent MP count (12ish).
Any thoughts?
Forget about P &S. get an entry level DSLR. The shutter delay of the P & S will kill almost any shot that you want to take.

Now they're working to
find those animals permanent homes.
The dog warden is teaming
up with other local rescue groups and having a huge adoption event this

will all be in one place.
The event will be held at
the Lucas County Recreation Center, Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. until 3
p.m. There will be specials and reduced costs.
"Coming into the summer
season, dogs continually come in," said Laura Simmons, operations manager at
the Lucas County Dog Warden. "We're picking up so many dogs, we're actually
picking up more dogs than we're adopting out."

Do You Think Jessica's Career Runs Her Love Life?
Do You Think Jessica's Career Runs Her Love Life?
by POPSUGAR Celebrity 97 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Jessica Simpson strolled through NYC in a puffy, metallic jacket and a big smile yesterday. Things seem to be over with Owen Wilson before it even began and now, a source close to Jess says her relationships are planned based on how they can help her career. So dating John Mayer was to promote A Public Affair and she's hoping being seen with Owen will help her be accepted as a country star. Some of Jessica's men have seemed a bit random, but we'd like to think more of her than that. So tell us — do you think her love life is run by her career?

It amazes me, that you all hate on her father and obsess over him so much. If I truly believed someone to be that sick, I wouldn't waist the energy, even complaining about him. And yet you want her to go away? Maybe you should! Obviously they interpret his weirdness in a different way! Tina's been with him for years. She doesn't seem like the type of women, who would allow that freaky stuff to go on with her daughters!
lvberly 6 years
Not only do I not believe that, most of the men they try to link her to aren't really men she's involved with, romantically or sexually. Most of the accusations are never confirmed. Even if the stories are proven to be false, most people who post messages, don't care about the facts. As sick as it is, the more bogus the reports, the more you all enjoy it. So sad!!

P.S. lvberly's Member Photo of Jessica Simpson is not that old, and yet look at how sharp & stylish she is in it!
lvberly 6 years
I guess you gotta hate huh! Because if you added some things up, the way I just did, you might actually have to give Jessica more credit than you do! So she wants to do music, movies, clothing and such; and find someone that "SHE" feels is better for her than *ick was. That's not to say that he's a bad guy, he's just not the one for her. We should all just wish her well in what ever she pursues...fan-or-not, and let her be!
lvberly 6 years
She may not have much of a career to sum, but obviously she's got something goin-on. How else could she pay her bills? (I keep telling people this!) A home in LA, thats not just some dump, Ellen Degeneres lived in it! An expensive place in NYC, comming up (New York's not cheap and nither is she!) Add on the shopping sprees, that you all love to bring up. You go on your sprees to..."YOU JUST DON'T HAVE HER MONEY!" Add on groceries and such, her cars & high gas prices, Dont forget lots and lots of flights, Expencive Hotels w/high rates! Paying all those people that work for her since you think she does'nt do anything herself! Ken Paves alone could put most of you, in the poor house, IN A NEW YORK MINUTE! MUST I GO ON! I'd love to have a "non-career" thats taken care of me that well. How could all those things be possible, SHE'S DOING IT, THATS HOW! Not Her Father, he's got a lot of other things on his plate too! He can't do it all! Ashlee's not paying her sister's bills!

Sounds like something Pimp Daddy would think was a great idea. I don't know if it actually does happen, since the guys seem like random choices to promote something. A Public Affair was hardly the same kind of music that John Mayer does, and how exactly does dating Owen Wilson make her a country star? Maybe if the idea was to make her a comedy star? :ponder:
PinkNC 6 years
You know I just went back and read your comment again *Audrey1974* It's 3:30 am now, and after reading 60 something of these post a few hours ago, while irritated, I got confused because everybody has so much to say on this woman. Now I feel I've typed for the first time, just as confused as Jessica acts sometimes. Anywho, it rarely happens to me, thank goodness….and you're right. I did read that she did a lot of imitating before she got married and the show helped her to be notice. Some people still speak as if she had a career before him, but from what I see I would say it this way..... Jessica had a career of imitating other females that appeared 'at the time' somewhat the same as her. I will always feel that she knew what she doing. I mean people keep mentioning love on this posting. But there is a difference between loving someone and being IN love with someone. To be mentally held and spoken too, to have someone care unconditionally, no manner what you have and etc…, is IN love with you. Remember true love is patient, kind, considerate, and deeply real. True love will never tally what you own. True love in your life won't even make it dully noted. Because love cares about the physical and mental you, not what you own materialistic wise. Jessica seemed too do the opposite around the end (on the DVD of course) Too me she seemed distant from him when they were speaking or doing whatever together. She wasn't patient, kind, or considerate towards his feelings like she showed in the beginning. Her voice tone towards him changed also if I remember correctly. Jessica seemed unnecessarily rude....so I don't get why people still defend her behavior. What's up with that one? Is it because of her clothing style and looks?

And John Mayer probably got saved again after leaving her. Who knows what he did or said while with her. It's obvious for some reason men are blinded by this womans beauty when they're with her.

Huh "Her career was nothing before Newlyweds" Well I can get over that comment. I wasn't aware she had one of those. I thought she begin the gain on getting it as soon as she married Nick Lachey.
Audrey1974 6 years
The thing is, before Newlyweds, her career was nothing. She was one of the other girls in the Britney/Christina war. I like to think that she genuinely loved Nick, but I watched some of the shows, and she just seemed too into herself. Granted, she is the first born and the big golden apple of her parents' eye, but still...I know marriage is hard, and I guess it's tough to hear that "if you weren't married, then you'd go farther," which is what I think happened there. She wants to convince me that she is something more than a dumb blonde, but if it looks like a dumb blonde and sounds like a dumb blonde... I like to think that John Mayer tried to help, and realized that he couldn't.
Asia84 6 years
I hate to think Jess is that shallow, but honestly, I wouldn't put it past her. I think she is so girly-teenie-bopper, so she doesn't take relationships that seriously. They are just fun. so it's no big deal to date cutie john mayer if it will help sell albums. ya know. i would hope her mother wouldn't agree to a deliberate act like that though. but if she is using guys, i think she needs a new strategy, because a crack head sells more junk than she sells albums, (sorry Jess, I luv ya, but it's true)

Re88 6 years
It would make sense. I don't see why a guy would want to date her...I'm surprised Nick lasted for as long as he did. Once they broke up, he did look happier and less stressed..but that probably had to do with the fact he didn't have to worry about her dad anymore. I also don't get why guys like Ashlee Simpson either...

I'd bet dollars to donuts that papa Joe fixes her up on these "dates" for that reason, however I doubt that Jess is aware of it. She seems like such a romantic, and to date someone just for business doesn't fit her. So while it may be happening, I think Jess is just totally oblivious to it all.

Joe Simpson is a really sketchy old man. I think John Mayer was just a way for her to be seen as a serious singer. Nick Lachey was her ticket to stardom. She's completely annoying that way.

why do people still care about this talentless attention seeker? This site would be great if Jessica, along with Britney, Lohan and Paris were never mentioned, classless idiots really. I know I can just ignore the Jessica stories but she's so lame, she should have stayed with Lachey, as lame as he is, he was too good for her, she hasn't had a proper relationship since.

Jessica's not bigger than anything, she's an ugly midget. And she doesn't have a say in anything, she can't even think. Papa Joe drags his blow up doll out to parties, she tries to get into photos with famous men, and then he rings up the tabs to tell them such and such guy fell madly in love with her, cause she's soooooo "adorable." Its one revolving scam, he's pulled it on every guy in Hollywood.

I HATE Jessica Simpson with a deep passion. She is an idiot and a waste of space. Her dad is a pervert and she has no talent whatsoever at all. She can't keep a man. It is obvious who was at fault with her and Nick (she thought she was too good for him) and now he has been in a serious relationship for 2 yrs??? Not that I care for Vanessa either but hey, she is better than Chestica. UGH!!!!

oh I get it. Owen made big headlines recently, so papa joe wants to link up Jess to a person who is likely to make big headlines in the future. Surely some glossy is working on a cover story featuring Owen, so Jess's papa/pimp wants her to be part of his comeback story to score some positive press. Yes, I know I have a big imagination, but then again I wouldn't put it past papa joe, either. ;)

I'm saying that it's a possibilty. The Simpsons family know that nobody likes them anymore and their has been from 2003. Let's be honest, the only reason people know her is because of Newlyweds, not because of her career in 1998. Now that she and Nick are down and everybody realizes her music has gone down the drain, and her acting sucks, nobody wants to hear about her, so this is a good way to make people intrigued. I mean, everyone doesn't like Paris but they still want to know gossip about her because it's PARIS HILTON!

yeah, i think her dad i some sort of skeezy pimp, and she should stop letting him manage her career. it worked fine in the beginning, but she's clearly in need of a serious change. and i was wondering, too...how was owen supposed to "help" her country career?

Papa Joe should have encouraged Jessica and Ashley in getting their college educations. They missed out on valuable experiences and a girl can only have so many handbags, shoes, and boyfriends. Jess especially has become something of a professional-bimbo and musically all she's ever done was try to be someone else, whether it be Britney, Cher & Lucy (when she was married to Nick), Mariah, and now Carrie Underwood.

Would she even HAVE a career if it weren't for Newlyweds, which was basically her love life on display? I don't know if this is as calculated as it sounds, but she certainly doesn't shy away from using her "dates" for professional gain.
playsindirt 6 years
For all Joe's whining about Nick, she would have never gotten the reality gig without him and that started the whole career ball rolling. I think she's too stupid to be manipulative so it does seem like her father could be positioning her to garner attention. How does Owen Wilson = country? That has me baffled. But her 15 minutes should have been over a long time ago.

im sure her dad has a lot to do with it, he never liked nick so when it didn't work out (because of the show which he came up with) he must tell her see i was right hes no good for you I know whats good for you, and she probably listens. I think its a bad idea to have your parents work for you because if they want to make money they have to wh*re you out to the public (I dont mean in a sexual way but i wouldnt be surprised if it has happened before)

It's a shallow way of boosting one's career but if it works for her, she has to deal with the backlash and whatever may come with it. People act like this is some new phenomenon in Hollywood. It's very common that stars pair up or feud to boost album sells or to promote a film. For example, take the 50 Cent-Kanye West feud. The feud was an excellent marketing ploy to boost the sells of both artists and it worked; Kanye debuted at No. 1 and 50 at No. 2. Sources say that Zac Efron's and Vanessa Hudgen's romance may not be as authentic as it seems. Some speculate that the two may have been paired up to promote High School Musical.

oh yeah, and dont you think that if this were true we actually would have seen her with owen? usually when someone uses a relationship to further thier career they are sure to be seen with that person...
sarah100682 6 years
I agree...I don't think the sole purpose of her dating anyone is to try and further her career...I think she probably dates men because she likes them, and sweet dear daddy is the one who uses it to benefit her career by exploiding the relationship (which is probably why none of them last).

Live NBC coverage right now on KWQC-TV
UPDATE: The AP reports the at-large Boston bomb suspect is identified as Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, of Cambridge, Mass.
UPDATE: AP sources say the Boston bombing suspects are from Russia region near Chechnya and lived in the United States at least one year.
WATERTOWN, Mass. (AP) - Authorities say one of two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing is dead and a massive manhunt is underway for another.
Residents of the Boston suburb of Watertown have been advised to keep their doors locked and not let anyone in.
The Middlesex district attorney says the two men are suspected of killing an MIT police officer at the college late Thursday, then stealing a car at gunpoint and later releasing its driver unharmed. Hours earlier, police had released photos of the bombing suspects and asked for the public's help finding them.
Authorities say the suspects threw explosives from the car as police followed it into Watertown. The suspects and police exchanged gunfire and one of the suspects was critically injured and later died.
Police say the suspect on loose is a "terrorist" who "came here to kill people."

Basic necessities are becoming harder to afford for working Arizona families. That's according to a new report by the Working Poor Families Project.
Arizona ranked 47th out of all 50 states in the report. The report also shows that 39% of working families in Arizona are low-income families or 200% below the Federal Poverty Level.
The report also included that of the 652,000 working families in Arizona that 255,000 families were low income.
Even though the economy seems to be getting better more than 70% of low-income families earned salaries so low that they could not pay for the basic necessities.
The report says many of them are in low wage jobs that provide little or no benefits and often no opportunity for advancement and economic security.
That's when organizations like the Tucson Urban League come in to help. The non-profit offers services like utility assistance, low cost day care and employment and training services.
For single mother, Marissa Flu-Allen she says daycare for her kids is just too expensive.
"I found myself turning down a couple of jobs because that fact that you know there's not enough resources to help you get childcare. There is a way to get scholarships and it helps out, but the waiting lists for scholarships has been exhausted," said Flu-Allen.
Interim CEO of the Tucson Urban League, Terisha Ellis, hopes by continuing the employment and training workshops, more people will find better paying jobs in the industries that are already here.
"It's at a point of one thing or the other. Do I pay the electric or do I put food in the cabinet and it shouldn't be that way. I think we need to continue to work to make sure that people are stretched that way."
Terisha Ellis hopes by continuing the employment and training workshops, more people will find jobs in the industries that are already here.

Fort Bend Coffee Divas Rally for Girl Scouting
Fort Bend, TX (Feb. 24, 2010) – In 2005, a group of Fort Bend volunteers called the Divas, planned and implemented a Cookie Diva Gala to celebrate Girl Scouting in Fort Bend with Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council. Five years later, the same group reconvened and hosted the Coffee Diva Social. Funds contributed by the Baker's Dozen, as the group referred to itself, underwrote the event and guests contributed $35 each to enable Girl Scouting on the Go in Fort Bend. A total of 124 donors supported the social with over 100 attending the coffee.
The Fort Bend Girl Scouting on the Go program enables girls in underserved communities where volunteer leadership is not available. These programs take place for approximately 27 weeks. They serve over 1,000 girls in six Fort Bend schools and help girls to reach their full leadership potential.
The Girl Scouting on the Go program includes two overnight trips to Camp Pryor in Nada, Texas. Here attendees gain an opportunity to grow independence, work with others, enjoy the outdoors and develop a respect for nature. This camp welcomes over 8,500 campers per year. The George Foundation generously funded a spectacular pool for camp visitors to enjoy as well as the community center. The George Foundation is also a huge supporter of Fort Bend Girl Scouting on the Go. For every two Coffee Diva Social attendees, one girl can participate for one year in the Fort Bend Girl Scouting on the Go program.
Stay tuned for a special Fort Bend Diva and Dudes event in November!
Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's preeminent organization for girls, with a membership of more than 3.7 million girls and adults. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Chartered by GSUSA to provide Girl Scouting locally, Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council is one of the largest Girl Scout councils in the country serving more than 72,000 girl members and 17,000 adults in 26 southeast Texas counties.

Students at Kenneth D. Bailey Academy will get a taste this week of what it's like in the real world of work.
The academy has planned its first career day for Thursday. Representatives from 11 different companies and fields of interest in Danville and the surrounding areas will talk to students about what it is they do for a living and what job opportunities are available.
Principal Tracy Cherry originally came up with the idea to organize a career day.
"We want to expose them to some of the local businesses and career people to show them what successful people do in Danville and to spark an interest in them," Cherry said of the students.
The students were surveyed and offered suggestions on the types of businesses they wanted to know more about, according to academy teacher Melinda Miethe.
"We got our students' input and asked them what they would be interested in," Miethe said.
"We ended up with a list of 11 businesses, and the students picked the top five they were interested in and wanted to attend workshops for," she said.
On Thursday morning, each student will start the day with breakfast and then receive a folder where he or she can keep materials from the workshops.
During each 40-minute workshop, business professionals will make presentations covering everything from what to expect in a particular field and the education needed for a job to various other topics related to their company or field of interest.
"They will present information to the students, and some will use the multimedia in the classroom, such as overhead projectors and Smart Boards," Miethe said.
One of the more unique workshops will be offered by Concept College of Cosmetology.
"They will explain what it takes to enroll in cosmetology school and then demonstrate haircuts," Miethe said.
The workshop presentations will be followed by a question-and-answer session.
The students will attend workshops most of the day before learning about black history from guest speaker Tricia Teague, publisher of the Progressive Black newspaper.
"We wanted to have someone come to talk to the students about black history," Cherry said.
The companies participating in career day include Armed Services, Concept College of Cosmetology, Danville Area Community College, East Central Illinois Community Action, Illinois Department of Employment Security, Vermilion County Health Department, Lakeview College of Nursing, Neuhoff Media, Sterling Auto Body, ThyssenKrupp Crankshaft and Watchfire. Retired educator Johnny Carey and Carolyn Kirk also will speak to students about education and respect.

Tear it up, rip it down
Remedy is the ultimate technical trail bike. Light frame, plush suspension, and precise handling all add up to a stellar ride that goes up, goes down, goes everywhere.
Ride your way! Your choice of wheel size lets you test your limits and advance your skills on a bike that's eager to climb, descend, and power you on to wherever you want to go.
Smooth, controlled braking
Our patented ABP (Active Braking Pivot) keeps your suspension from stiffening up when you're on the brakes, giving you confident, steady control.
DRCV all-terrain control
Our two-chamber DRCV (Dual Rate Control Valve) shock gives you coil performance at air shock weight, for smooth, seamless, all-terrain control.
Fine tune your geometry
Our reversible Mino Link lets you relax the geometry when bombing descents, or tighten it when weaving through singletrack.
You pick: 650b or 29er
Ride the way you want with all the great Trek technology you need in 650b or 29er versions. Each frame and suspension is optimized for its wheel size.
What people are saying
Big wheeled bruiser with running back moves.
James Huang
Bike Radar
The Remedy's ability to pedal has been a huge factor in my enjoyment. There was never an excuse for me not to explore every nook and cranny of the surrounding mountains, and the ability to do so gave me the opportunity to make epic descents. The fact that the bike was fully capable on those descents was the other reason I enjoyed my time on it so much
Garrett Thibault
This bike takes a beating, goes anywhere, and most importantly, it put a smile on my face every time I rode it. After some initial skepticism, I have to admit that the Remedy 29 is no slouch. A long wheelbase, slack head angle, plenty of BB drop, and 140mm of well-tuned suspension all come together to create a bike that's capable of some surprising feats. Provided you're up to the task as well, that is.

A local pizza chain is planning to "raise some dough" Wednesday for a teen who had part of his leg amputated after being hit by a car.
Justin Carey, 16, was released from the hospital earlier this month. He was hit by a car in June while waiting for the school bus at Northeast 289th Street and 82nd Avenue.
The Battle Ground High School student and member of the Junior ROTC program wasn't found for 90 minutes. A tow truck driver, Charles Barrett, found him lying in the bushes with severe injuries after hearing a faint cry for help.
The driver, Shaun Johnson, suffered a broken arm and was taken to the hospital. Investigators said she gave no indication her car hit a person after she crashed into a ditch. The case remains under investigation.
Part of Carey's leg was amputated. The community has rallied around him with fundraisers to help pay for his prosthetic leg and other medical expenses.
On Wednesday, July 24, Papa Murphy's Pizza, headquartered in Vancouver, is donating 20 percent of pizza sales between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. from all 12 Clark County locations to the Justin Carey Caring Fund at Bank of America.
Papa Murphy's CEO Ken Calwell said he feels a personal connection to Carey's situation. In 1991, Calwell was hit by a car while on a bicycle ride training for the U.S. National Triathlon. He spent more than two months in the hospital, but eventually made a full recovery.
"He'll have a challenging road ahead, but the support of his friends, family and the community will give him strength," Calwell said in a statement.
In addition to visiting participating Papa Murphy's stores on Wednesday, interested parties can give to the Justin Carey Caring Fund at any Bank of American location.

Health body saves thousands by reducing carbon footprint
4:29pm Friday 16th May 2014 in News
A WORCESTERSHIRE health organisation has saved thousands of pounds of taxpayer's money by reducing its carbon footprint across the county.
Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust has been working to reduce its footprint since 2010 and last year saved an estimated £21,475 through a range of measures such as installing new meters and boilers at sites including at community hospitals in Evesham, Pershore and Malvern.
The trust's emissions have reduced by almost 1,000 tonnes since 2010 and the organisation is putting measures in place to bring this down further such as installing more new boiler systems at a number of sites.
Speaking at a meeting of the trust's board on Wednesday, May 14, finance director Robert Mackie said staff throughout the organisation had been working hard to deliver the savings.
"We're not quite where we would like to be yet but we've got some very significant downward trends," he said.
"We're looking forward to delivering further gains."

What rate of inflation have you allowed for in the price of gas? What increase in efficiency have you allowed for? The control system on these new boilers is likely to be more sophisticated than any used on domestic boilers meaning that the potential savings could be greater.
These boilers will have needed to be replaced at some point in their lives. How do you determine just when that is? What pay back peiod is considered correct?

Three-car crash injures womanFebruary 27,2013Three-car crash injures woman
WOODFORD A three-vehicle crash in Woodford on Route 9 on Sunday left a West Dover woman with a possible neck injury, according to a press release from the Vermont State Police.
Jordan Mantello, 17, of Troy, N.Y., was driving a 2003 Cadillac Deville west on Route 9 when he fell asleep at the wheel, police said.
The Cadillac crossed the center line and collided with a 2000 Subaru Legacy driven by Jollene Mahon, 35, of West Dover. The Legacy spun around several times causing another collision with a 2008 Nissan pickup driven by Richard Setzer, 28, of Bennington, police said.
Mahon was taken to the Southwestern Vermont Medical Center in Bennington with a possible neck injury. Mantello and two of his passengers were also taken to the hospital for evaluation.
Police said it was snowing and the roads were icy at the time of the crash.
All vehicles involved sustained significant damage from the crash and were towed from the scene.

HAMPSTEAD — A 20-year-old man has died of injuries from being struck by a van while riding a non-motorized scooter Monday night.
Kevin Coady of East Hampstead was pronounced dead Wednesday afternoon at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, according to a hospital spokeswoman
Coady, who suffered head and other injuries, was flown to the hospital by medical helicopter after he was struck about 5:30 p.m. by a Chrysler van driven by Christina Soucy, 34, of Plaistow, police Lt. John Frazier said.
Coady was passing under a burned-out streetlight on Central Street when the accident occurred, Frazier said. It was dark and Coady was wearing black clothing, he said.
There was no evidence suggesting speed or impairment contributed to the crash, Frazier said. No charges were expected, but the investigation is continuing.

After months of meetings, site surveys, and screen tests, Spectra Stage and Event Technologies and Eastway Sound & Lighting have finalized the technical partners for the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC). These companies include Robe Show Lighting, Barco, MA Lighting, Green Hippo, Beacon, Cyberhoist (supplied by Flashlight), and Philips. Details of the products being used can be found at www.eurovisiondiary.com. Live Design is the official partner publication for ESC.
Companies like Barco and Robe have been involved in past productions of ESC. Because Spectra and production manager Ola Melzig have always used Eurovision to tackle technological "firsts," the gear used for the production often goes into manufacturing thanks to the show. Lighting designer Mikki Kunttu says, "Our technical partners are a critical part of this production. They share their insight into what makes their products unique and often look forward to pushing the boundaries as much as we do."
This year brings a few new faces to the partner table. Green Hippo will supply the first Hippotizer Version 3 for the production. James Heron of Green Hippo notes, "In terms of the viewing public, nothing polarizes opinion more than the Eurovision Song Contest. Some love it, some don't, but everyone has an opinion, which just shows what a reference point for popular culture it has become. Sometimes inspiring, sometimes controversial, and occasionally hilarious, whatever your armchair viewpoint, it's like the Olympics; it's coming 'round whether you like it or not! But from an industry point of view, one thing is unanimous: It's the big one that everyone wants to do. It has the latest and greatest in the technological world."
The worldwide broadcast of the Eurovision Song Contest finals is scheduled for May 12.

Amazing Menlo Park did not consider this land for their low income senior housing project, rather than Sharon Heights. Why not, I wonder.

Susan, the city here is the successor to the now defunct redevelopment agency that owned this property. I believe the city must sell off the assets of the RDA and give the profits to the county.

what is the zoning of these lots? The city could ensure these are zoned to allow such housing!

Donations from around the Valley are making some purr-fect plans a reality at the Flathead County Animal Shelter.
Working at an animal shelter is not easy.
"It's difficult at times because we do get a lot of animals that come here that are surrendered and it's sad on both the animals side because they're being turned in, but it's also sad on the previous owner side because a lot of people are turning in their animal because they have nowhere to go," said Niki Sevesind, the dog kennel supervisor.
It may or may not seem like it, but the critters-- and the humans-- at the Flathead County Animal Shelter are happier than ever before, thanks in part to almost $50,000 in donations.
"The shelter's been on a nice improvement course over the last four years," said Cliff Bennett, the animal shelter division director.
Thirty new outdoor kennels with guillotine doors have already been installed. It is not as scary as it sounds.
"Those allow us to open the dog doors for the dogs to go in and out as they please," explained Sevesind.
The additions have changed the way even the six full-time employees, plus one part-time, view the shelter.
"You don't take your dog to the pound. It is an animal shelter. It is a safe place for the animals to stay. It doesn't have a derogative meaning anymore," said Sevesind.
As a municipal shelter, animals cannot be turned away. Even with more than 100 animals on any given day, the shelter boasts a 97% live release rate, only putting an animal down if it displays volatile aggression or debilitating disease.
On their wish list now is a new, cool air circulation system, to prevent kennel cough spreading during the summer and some room added onto the east end to give the cats some more space. County commissioners are already looking at preliminary plans.

More new stores for Cabela's
SIDNEY, Neb. (AP) _ Cabela's plans to build new stores in New York, Texas and Massachusetts in the next two years to sell outdoor gear.
The stores in New York and Massachusetts are the first Cabela's locations in those states and are part of plans to open 16 stores over the next two year, all of them smaller formats and designed to fit within a mall or shopping center. Previously Cabela's built larger destination stores with several hundred thousand square feet.
Cabela's already has 44 stores.

Tort Law
Florida School Seeks Dismissal of Hazing-Related Wrongful Death Suit
Posted Dec 3, 2012 12:41 PM CDT
By Mark Hansen
A Florida university has asked a judge to dismiss a wrongful death suit against it over the 2011 hazing death of a drum major in the school's marching band.
Richard Mitchell, a lawyer for Florida A & M University, said Wednesday that the victim, Robert Champion, willingly submitted to the hazing ritual to gain the respect of certain band members, Reuters reports.
Orlando judge Walter Komanski, who is presiding over the case, will rule on the school's request next week.
Mitchell argued in court that Champion, whom he referred to as a "victim participant," willingly agreed to the hazing by boarding the band's charter bus after hours and by watching the hazing of two other band members while waiting his turn.
"The overarching dispositive question is, did Mr. Champion participate in the hazing that caused his death?" he asked.
Police have said that the 26-year-old drum major died from shock caused by severe bleeding. A medical examiner ruled that Champion's death was a homicide.
Kenneth Bell, a lawyer representing Champion's family, argued that Champion's own participation in the hazing shouldn't bar his family from suing the school for damages.
Ten former members of the school's marching band face felony hazing charges stemming from Champion's death.

Pete Sell (7-4) and Josh Burkman (9-6) are penciled in to clash in a welterweight bout at UFC 90: "Silva vs. Cote" at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Ill., on October 25, according to TriStateFighter.com.
Matt Serra – Sell's mentor and coach – broke the news in a recent radio interview of his fighter's 170-pound debut against "The People's Warrior" in the "Windy City."
"Drago" has endured a recent string of bad luck inside the Octagon, losing his last three fights. He had Scott Smith all but finished in their epic battle back at The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 4 Finale; however, he was iced with a Hail Mary punch when he went in for the kill.
He then dropped a unanimous decision to top 185-pound contender Thales Leites at UFC 69: "Shootout" and was knocked out in his next appearance by Nate Quarry in the third round at UFC Fight Night 11 after dictating the pace of most of that fight.
Sell should have a size and power advantage over most of his opponents in the 170-pound division – he's a big guy who can pack a punch. This decision to test the welterweight waters is perhaps his last chance to prove that he belongs in the premier mixed martial arts promotion on the planet.
Burkman, too, has not had much recent success within the eight-sided cage. In fact, he has lost three of his last four fights and the lone win over Forrest Petz during that span was a controversial split decision.
To his credit, Burkman has not been in against any marshmallows during the rough stretch -- Dustin Hazelett, Mike Swick and Karo Parisyan are all very talented fighters and very tough opponents.
It is also very important for him to bring home the win, making this a fight that could provide some very serious action as both fighter press for a convincing finish.

A local goodwill initiative is again underway to show appreciation for military veterans in the form of Valentines cards and gifts.
Like others across the county and nation, state Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel, D-Great Neck, is seeking Valentines cards and unused gift item donations as part of an annual Valentines For Vets program.
Residents have until Feb. 8 to drop off donations to Schimel's district office, 45 N. Station Plaza, Suite 203 in Great Neck. Only Valentines cards and new gift items will be accepted.
Recomended items include: tooth brushes, toothpaste, denture adhesive, shampoo, deodorant, hair brushes, non-slip socks, winter hats, gloves, scarves, stamps, patriotic caps or t-shirts, compact discs, scratch-off lottery tickets, iTunes giftcards, wheel chair cup holders, note cards, phone cards, hand-held computer games, electric razors, clock radio/cassette players, walkmans, terry cloth robes, winter coats, universal remotes, DVDs, portable CD players, ear phones, electric toothbrushes, sweatpants and sweatshirts.
"This is a district-wide effort to show the veterans who have served our country that they are appreciated and have not been forgotten," said Schimel in a release.
Two truckloads of donations, were donated in 2012 by parochial schools, businesses, libraries, and Great Neck community residents and delivered to the Long Island State Veterans Home in Stony Brook and the Northport VA Medical Center, according to Schimel.
Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano announced that more than 20,000 valentines handmade by students across the County for hospitalized veterans were collected last year as part of Nassau's Valentines for Veterans program.
Also in 2012, the United War Veterans Council brought Valentines gifts and gratitude to veterans and military service members from West Point to Washington, D.C.

Technology development and social entrepreneurship Initiatives in a Business School in India, Girja Sharan
The Indian Institute of Management (Ahmedabad, India) expects from faculty members - teaching and good publications - for which there is funding and supportive ambience. For any significant departure from that pattern there is neither ambience nor support. Being an engineer with some passion to make a difference to the basic problems of people living in rural regions near here, I wished to engage in projects to develop affordable engineering solutions for them. I met the director and discussed the matter. He said - I could proceed but would have to find funds on my own and the normal expectations of teaching and publication will continue to exist. That was nearly a decade ago. I was able to meet that expectation, generate funds and carry out some very useful technology- entrepreneurship work. We will present that experience, and an account of hurdles and helpful happenstances.

Town Square
Stacey's Under New Management
Original post made by Wanda on Jul 13, 2010
on Jul 13, 2010 at 4:08 pm
Isn't or wasn't Stacys owned by a family that built a large house above Vintage Hills (yes with an s)? Didn't they have a restrant in Dublin also?
on Jul 13, 2010 at 4:28 pm
Stacy's restaurant was backed by Scott Adams ('Dilbert' cartoonist), who met Stacy a few years ago when she was working as a waitress/hostess and dreamed of having her own restaurant one day. Scott made her dream possible, as well as his own dream of building a gigantic home (12,000+ square feet with indoor tennis court) at the top of Gray Fox Circle in Vintage Hills.
Stacy (no relation to Scott, who is married) first closed her Dublin restaurant a few months ago, and now it appears is handing over her Pleasanton restaurant to someone. I, for one, would like to know more if anyone has the scoop.
on Jul 13, 2010 at 5:51 pm
Thank you for the info. I'm sorry that it didn't work out for Stacy. Some of us are not meant to be managers of our own businesses
