An Invasive Metaphor: the Concept of Centre of Gravity in Economics
AbstractThis paper undertakes a critical examination of the concept of 'centre of gravity' as adapted by economics from classical mechanics, relating it to the idea of 'long-run' profits, prices and quantities, as presented in the work of the post-Sraffians.(1) It will also address the origin of this concept of 'long-run' in Marshall's distinction between long-run and short-run determinations of economic magnitudes. It shows that economists have generally conceived of centre of gravity as a theoretical magnitude which is not observed, but around which observed magnitudes oscillate either randomly or in some deterministic manner; this much is generally agreed. This idea has, however, been interpreted in two distinct ways in the history of economic thought: (1) as an attractor dynamically determined at each point in time by path-dependent historical processes which have led the economy to be in its present state. (2) as a hypothetical static equilibrium state of the economy determined independent of history by its current exogenous parameters (utility, technical capacity, etc) It demonstrates that these two ideas are necessarily distinct and that both must be taken into account in any pluralistic research programme. Mathematically the attractor of a variable is not in general equal to its hypothetical static equilibrium, except in highly restricted circumstances such as the absence of technical change. Moreover, again outside of exceptional circumstances, the divergence between the predictions of observed magnitudes given by the two approaches increases over time, so that it cannot even be accepted that one converges on the other. Error will therefore result if it is assumed a priori that (1) is identical to (2). The fact that the two conceptions lead to different predictions does not decide that either one is correct. This should be determined empirically and therefore, an agreed empirical test should be established by the community of social scientists or, better still, society. The paper will argue that, empirically, the 'test variable' against which both conceptions should be checked is the time average of the variables in question. This is not a distinct concept of 'centre of gravity' but an empirical observable. In a pluralistic programme, the predictions of both conceptions should be evaluated against this proposed test variable. The second part of the paper examines the common basis for the critical stance taken by both Keynes and Marx to the second conception, which is rooted in a common attitude to the relation between substance and accident, and a correspondingly similar conception of uncertainty. It will relate this to the work of Quetelet and the development of the statistical method in sociology which, it will argue, is rooted in an ontologically distinct conception of social magnitudes to that found in economics, closer to the concept which Keynes and Marx shared. It argues that the post-Sraffian conception of long-run is based on a fallacious identification of these two distinct concepts, rendering the post-Sraffian approach equally incompatible with Keynes's and Marx's theories. It argues that the post-Sraffian conception of centre of gravity is 'intrinsically antipluralistic' in that it depends absolutely on the conflation of two concepts which are in fact necessarily distinct, leading to the suppression of the non-equilibrium concept as an alternative to the scientific procedure of testing the predictions of both concepts against an observable.

Yesterday, the party committed itself to scrapping the toll to cross the Severn Bridges if the party found itself part of a government again after the UK elections next year. Or did it? How much of a commitment was it in reality?
In the first place, it's not in their manifesto yet, only in one of those curious documents called a 'pre-manifesto'; a mechanism usually used by parties to publicise policies which they're thinking about including in their manifestos (or for those of a more cynical bent, policies to which they'd like to attract attention but without making any real commitment). So, is there a guarantee that what's in their 'pre-manifesto' will also be in the final document? Apparently not.
And secondly, if they do find themselves in government again next year, it can only be in coalition with either the Labour Party or the Conservative Party. Are the contents of the Lib Dem manifesto then guaranteed to form part of the coalition agreement? Well, no – they just become a basis for negotiation. Unless, that is, the party is saying in advance that this is a 'red line' issue and that they will not agree to any coalition programme which does not commit to abolishing the tolls. Are they saying that? Apparently not.
So, whilst the headlines stated "Lib Dems commit to scrapping tolls", the actual story is that the party is thinking about maybe including the scrapping of tolls on a shopping list of items which might, and probably won't, get included in a programme for coalition government. There's something of a gap between the headlines and the reality.

The Rhys Daniels Trust will hold its eighteenth fundraising fun run on May 11
8:20am Sunday 27th April 2014 in News By Georgia Diebelius, Reporter - Epping Forest
A charity will host a fun run to help raise funds for families with sick children.
The Rhys Daniels Trust has organised the five-mile run through Epping Forest for the eighteenth year running.
Last year the event raised £1,800 for the charities 'Home from Home' appeal, which provides accommodation for families with sick children who have to be treated far from home.
The event is set to take place at Epping Sports Centre in Essex on Sunday, May 11.
The trust will celebrate their 20th anniversary later this year.

These remind me of Sarajevo Roses. After the fighting in Sarajevo ended, there were holes all over the place from the explosions of mortar shells. Due to the way that mortars impact and explode, the marks they leave form a sort of expanding flower-esque pattern. As a way to create memorials to people who were killed in those mortar attacks, locals started filling in the mortar holes with red resin, creating makeshift rose shaped war memorials. They're quite beautiful and sad monuments.

Illinois Lottery Encourages Players to 'Sign Your Ticket' during Responsible Gaming Education Week
CHICAGO, Aug. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- August 4 kicked off Responsible Gaming Education Week and, in honor of the occasion, the Illinois Lottery is encouraging players to sign the back of their lottery tickets. Lottery officials encourage players to get in the habit of signing the back of all Lottery tickets immediately after purchase. This, in turn, will help ensure a smooth claims process for all winning tickets.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130528/CG21596LOGO)
During Responsible Gaming Education Week, the Illinois Lottery will outfit its retailers with material to give away to customers outlining the importance of signing the back of their lottery tickets. This message will also appear on the Lottery's website and social media pages.
"Lottery tickets are bearer instruments, which means whoever presents the ticket is entitled to payment. Once there is a player's signature on the back, it makes it virtually impossible for someone else to claim the prize," said Lottery Superintendent, Michael Jones. "We want everyone who wins a prize to claim it quickly and without incident—and that's what the signature on the back provides."
The Illinois Lottery also provides educational tools for its players year-round in the Winners' Handbook located on its website – www.illinoislottery.com . This document helps people navigate the lottery claims process and other areas that await a new lottery winner.
Responsible Gaming Education Week was created by the American Gaming Association (AGA) in 1998 to increase awareness of problem gambling among gaming industry employees and customers and to promote responsible gaming nationwide. The AGA and the entire gaming industry realize that education is essential to promoting responsible play and increasing awareness of gambling disorders, and RGEW provides organizations with an opportunity to expand on work they do every day educating employees and patrons about the issue.
About Illinois Lottery
Founded in 1974, the Illinois Lottery has contributed $18 billion to the state's Common School Fund to assist K-12 public schools, as well as hundreds of millions of dollars to the Capital Projects Fund. Players must be at least 18 years old.

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by Garden Kitty, May 24, 2010.
Oh good, Erin's dance will get me in the mood for SYTYCD
Thanks! How about Nicole and Derek? I'm working on dinner during commercial breaks so i keep missing the beginnings of each segment. (ETA oops, must have posted at nearly the same time -- thanks all, for the score comparison!)
This bedroom dance is so sloppy...sigh...
Maks on stage with a bed. I think I had a moment
Am I the only one who finds the bed on the dance floor a tiny bit weird?
This freestyle from Erin is actually to the point of being uncomfortable in its badness to me.
I appreciate the hard work, but I did not care for that freestyle from Erin and Maks. I thought is was silly.
Did Erin just fix her wedgie?
Holy god, I floved Erin & Maks' freestyle routine... funny though, if we saw that on SYTYCD, I probably would have hated it
It's back and forth between funny and cringe-inducing.
That was my exact thought!!
What were the scores for round one?
Heart's Alone... one of my all time favorite songs.
I like the idea behind the program, but Erin isn't smooth enough in her movements to quite pull of this type of program.
How can anyone cheer for Bandzilla?
Don't split your votes tonight. Give them all to Evan
I knew we wouldn't get out of this without SOME Evanna drama.
Wow. Evan asserting himself.
The best they could do was an "argument" that ended with the words "I agree with you."
Ooooohhhh.....all kinds of
"To be continued....."
At last Evan found a way to get even MORE grease into his hair.
Wheeeee, Evan - what fun!!
Energetic freestyle from Evan. I would have liked something a little more original than Footloose.
Evan and Anna
Loved it!
Should get perfect scores!
Oh, no the judges don't like it
that was rather manic
OMG Evan thinks he's an ice dancer.
Ouch for the scores.
I'm starting to actually believe that Evan is the best dancer of this season. Wow. He is an amazing dancer!
Lost precision?
uh oh.
Ah no! Scores won't be good.
The judges are full of it. I haven't voted much this season, but they just might goad me into using all my votes for Evan.
I'm really surprised at how well he can really dance, i.e. beyond just doing the moves on the beat..
Judges: Fcuk off.
The judges really want Nicole to win this.
Uh oh. This will really depend on the voters.
24 for Evan and Anna.
As much as I don't want to say it, I'd have scored that lower . As far as freestyle dances go, that was weak -- almost like something from a HS talent show.
What is the phone number for Evanna???
I guess Nicole will get all 10s. I imagine Freestyle would be her specialty.
Booo judges. Erin's freestyle was not as good as Evan's. (Seriously, keep the flippy-hair-tossing-rolling-around lyrical/modern/contemporary/whatever we're calling it this week junk on SYTYCD where it belongs. Plus...uh, TMI, guys, TMI.)
Of course we already know who the judges want to win. Seriously, Carrie Anne, we KNOW you've apparently got a girlcrush on Nicole. Just stop it.
That's what I was thinking. I think the judges being harsh will cause backlash though and give him the win. The voters like to root for someone who's NOT the chosen one.
Evan/Anna's freestyle was okay, but I honestly hate freestyle on DWTS. The only one I've really liked is Joey & Kym's.
You cannot split votes in the finals if you want someone to win. If you split between Evan and Erin, Nicole wins.
Separate names with a comma.

"America's Got Talent" put up more solid ratings Wednesday, but FOX was able to sneak into the top spot of the night's rankings.
NBC averaged a 4.6 rating/8 share in households, but FOX brought in more total viewers: 7.5 million to 7.4 million for NBC. CBS, 4.3/8, came in third. ABC finished fourth at 3.2/6, and The CW trailed with a 0.7/1.

FOX had a little bigger lead in the adults 18-49 demographic, scoring a 2.8 rating to beat NBC's 2.2. ABC's 1.8 was good for third, followed by CBS at 1.5 and The CW at 0.5.
"So You Think You Can Dance," 4.6/9, led the 8 p.m. hour in households for FOX, but ABC had more viewers with "Wipeout," 4.3/8. Reruns of "Old Christine" and "Gary Unmarried" averaged 3.0/6 for CBS, topping the 2.8/5 for the finale of "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here" on NBC. The CW aired an "America's Next Top Model" repeat.
NBC took the lead at 9 with "America's Got Talent," 6.1/10. CBS' "Criminal Minds" rerun was second in households (4.9/8), but "So You Think You Can Dance" (4.7/8) snagged more viewers for FOX. "I Survived a Japanese Game Show" mustered only a 2.3/4 for ABC, but that was more than enough to beat The CW's "Hitched or Ditched" encore.
The "Got Talent" lead-in helped NBC's new drama "The Philanthropist," 4.8/8, get off to a decent start at 10, winning the hour in viewers and adults 18-49 despite a slightly higher household number for "CSI: NY," 4.9/8, on CBS. An ABC News special with President Obama drew a 3.1/6.
Ratings information includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are preliminary and subject to change.

Counting the daysPosted Wednesday, April 7, 2010, at 4:21 PM
It is hard to remember being a teenager but I am sure all of the young men and women in the area are counting the days until graduation.
It is a happy and sad time all mixed up together for parents. We really do want our children to grow up but it is hard to turn loose and let it happen.
Proms, plays, awards day, graduation practice, end of course tests, and many more activities make for a very busy last weeks of high school.
Our young people will be going out into the work force, colleges and universities, and military. They will be starting their own lives.
It is an exciting time for them and I guess it is okay if we let them think (at least for a few weeks) they will not have to answer to parents, teachers, or anyone ever again now that they are all grown up.
I want to say congratulations to all of the graduates. I hope all of their dreams come true.

Re: How do you dispute an inaccurate (DOFD) Date of First Delinquenc
y Date?
Robert, great post, and as always; thank you for the info.
I'll be doing just this as soon as my SOL expires at the end of this year. My DoFD is so inaccurate, it's laughable. I stopped making payments on my car 09/07 - 2 of 3 (yes, not all CR have same reporting date) show DoFD as 05/08. The issue with this is, that was when the car was repo-ed which is something that no bank would do if you were less than 30 days late. They repo-ed the car because they hadn't receive a payment in nearly 8 months...

OOC: This is what I get for being away this weekend... So, what have I missed?
Ninja Kat was awkwardly seeing how she could help but wasn't really communicating with anyone, she was best working alone rather than in large groups. She decided to take a step back for a moment and to observe what everyone else was doing before interfering.
OOC: The heroes, villains and mercenaries have been called to the desert. Upon arriving, they have found a large black pillar.
Zombies began attacking, along with a giant one. Hence fighting.
Fire in the hole! <3
The Black Mist dropped to one knee, and fired the rocket launcher at the giant zombie cyborg foe, regardless of who was in the way.
"Bring it on!" Raven snarled, before summoning a bolt of electricity and hurling it at the head zombie
"GOD DAMN, I SAY CROQUET, I MEAN CROUQUET WITH C4++ FILLED HEDGEHOGS. Honestly, peoplicle these days catch on so slowly..." Chesh said, swinging the flamingo like a baseball bat and knocking the Hedgehog into the blast range of the villains and heroes. "PACK IN TOGETHER, YOU'LL ALL PERISH QUICKER THAT WAY." Chesh said, evaporating, his metal grin flashing through the green gas. The hedgehog bonked harmlessly onto the ground.
"Oh do stop it... otherwise I may commit an act that animal welfare may frown upon!" Raven snarled
"Me too," Demon Hand nodded his head in agreement.
The hedgehog's nose glowed red, and started to beep. "Either pack around the hedgehogible, or run away, because it's gonna bloooow..."
"Urgh... someone pass me the poison" Raven muttered, before hurling a warning bolt at chesh
"You idiot."
Jason grinned as he took his sword out and charged toward Chesh. He readied his left hand.
Chesh evaporated, his grin still there. "I gave you numerous warninguals."
The hedgehog exploded, leaving a crater and sending spines everywhere, A hazard to humans and zombies alike. "That is my definition of Croquet." he giggled.
"What the hell was that!?" Demon Hand screamed, grabbing a hold of Chesh's neck. 'You could've killed us you son of a bitch!"
"I'm sorry, but did you not catch 'filled with C4++'? Perhaps I only thought I said 'run, because it's gonna bloooow'? Oh dear. Seeing a a round object flashing red and going DEET. DEET. DEEET, And emiting smoke, and the person who threw it ducking for cover, it's obviously not a grenade. It's a tea party!" Chesh grinned, turning to gas and slipping out of his grip. "Feces happens, kid. I was aiming for the zombies."
"We're a team you shouldn't do something that risks the lives of your team you psycho," Demon Hand groaned.
The zombie fell, as the missile blasted a hole through it's stomach, and the hedgehog blew the undead monstrosity's leg off. Combined with the wounds from the sword and Demon Hand's energy blasts, it succumbed, and fell to the ground, leaving the tower's entrance unguarded.

Let me start off with a question: Do Nicollet or Courtland need bypasses?
We have a cultural misunderstanding about the economic benefits of mobility.
There is no better example than the State of Minnesota's new $300 million "Corridors of Commerce" program designed to foster "economic growth with transportation investments." This is a noble goal and it's worked well in the past, so why not keep it up?
First, we built highways that connected places that were never before directly connected. This was an enormous benefit to rural populations and opened up to more marketplaces. Towns that were once a 5 hour journey apart turned into an easy 1 hour trip. There is no question that this created an economic benefit.
But, we've continued building and expanding this roadway system to much diminishing return. The Corridors of Commerce project is just another example of this misapplication of limited transportation dollars. The most glaring example is the Highway 14 Nicollet Bypass.
The proposed $15 to $25 million Nicollet Bypass
Nicollet is a small town of approximately 1,000 people situated 15 miles outside of the region's center, Mankato. The proposed $15 to $25 million four lane divided bypass and entrance ramp will replace the two lane highway (with center turn-lane) that runs along the town's southern edge.
There are three justifications given for this project;
1) Improves safety
2) Enhances mobility for commercial traffic
3) One step closer to a regional goal of a 4-lane highway between New Ulm and Rochester
Let's examine each justification to see if there can be another alternative.
Does it improve safety?
Here is where our misunderstanding of mobility comes in. We are aiming to improve safety by building a new. expensive highway at the edge of town without examining why the original highway was dangerous in the first place.
There are nine highway access points. Six are privately-owned driveways (red) and three are intersections (blue)
There are nine access points where collisions are likely to occur along the 1.1 mile corridor. Three intersections connect to local roadways and six are driveways to private entities, include a taxidermy and self storage business, trailer park and a gas station (low ROI land uses). This roadway combines fast moving through-traffic with slow, turning local vehicles.
If safety was truly the priority it is claimed to be, the rational response would be to reduce speeds from 35 mph to 20 mph, close (or seriously limit) access to the six driveways, and realign the most dangerous intersection (TH99 in northwest) to allow a less abrupt merge. This would cost virtually nothing in comparison to the proposed $15 to $25 million project.
Does it enhance mobility?
When determining the cost-benefit of a project, we place emphasis on improved mobility, or in other words: time savings. Time is important, but how important? The existing speed limit is 35 mph and the expansion will be 65 mph (conforming to speed limits of other divided highways). According to my calculations, the project will have a travel time savings of nearly 1 minute.
|Speed Limit (MPH)
|Distance (miles)
|Travel Time
|Time Difference (+/- 35 mph)
|3m 18s
|+ 85 seconds
|2m 38s
|+ 45 seconds
|2m 12s
|+ 19 seconds
|1m 53s
|1m 28s
|- 25 seconds
|1m 19s
|- 34 seconds
|1m 0s
|- 53 seconds
Fostering commerce is important, but it is difficult to make a convincing argument that one minute in travel time savings justifies such an expenditure for less than 7,000 vehicles traveling through on any given day weekday [MnDOT Traffic Data].
Does it move towards a goal of a regional 4-lane highway?
No. We have it all backwards.
As for right now, why would you create a two-lane highway that turns into a four-lane highway for a 1.1 mile stretch as it passes through a town just so it can turn back into to a two-lane highway? If having a regional 4-lane highway is your goal, then the money could be better spent doing the opposite. The goal should be to first create a four-lane highway outside of towns and then reduce size and speed while traversing through towns.
This 1.1 mile new bypass has the same cost as expanding 15 miles of existing highway in four lanes between Mankato and Nicollet.
The need for Highway 14 enhancements has been a regional concern since the early 1990s. It's been long known as a dangerous corridor where speeding is prevalent, where there are limited opportunities for passing and where there are countless access points and intersections that can be dominated by slow-moving farm equipment. Hence, I do not question the need for Highway 14 safety improvements, including the adding of passing lanes along with improved forgiving design elements along rural stretches.
We have a cultural misunderstanding about the economic benefits of mobility. Constructing new roadways to bypass small towns at tremendous costs won't improve safety as the old highway stretches are often left in the same unsafe state. Meaning, local vehicles will continue to use the unsafe roadway. Not to mention, there will be a stretch of auto-oriented businesses on the old highway which will be abandoned and rebuilt closer to the bypass. I do not mourn the loss of a Super America gas station, but I do question the value of it closing down one location just to re-open a half mile down the road.
These one-time State transfer payments like Corridors of Commerce seem to go to the most wasteful projects. The DOTs are unwilling to fund these out of their dedicated revenue streams, primairly because they are no top-priority projects, so these are reliant upon political justifications and quick transfer payments.
One-time 2011-2 Transpoortation and Economic Development (TED) Grants from the State went to similar projects, like the fourth interchange ramp in Perham, Minnesota.
Perham is a small town in central Minnesota that is getting a new interchange that will support an estimated 240 jobs. TED will be providing $3.5 million of the $6.7 million project. This project might make sense if the town didn't already have 3 interchanges leading to the same highway.
These are the types of investments that do little or nothing to boost economic vitality in local small towns or distant communities. And, the kicker, it's not going to speed up traffic or make us any safer.
Will the Nicollet Bypass project generate wealth? Will Perham ever add the economic juice that town needs? Will these projects ever pay for themselves or create a genuine societal or economic benefit? If the State of Minnesota, for whatever reason, were to ever 'turnback' the highway, would the County or Town of Nicollet be able to maintain?
Hopefully these considerations are conducted prior to the authorization of spending millions of dollars to bypass Courtland (pop. 611) [MnDOT], which has yet to receive funding, and the countless other projects that divert limited resources to low returning projects.
"What will speed up that change is an understanding of the fact that our transportation investments are not creating wealth, they are destroying it. Now I'm not talking about just the investments where the old Target store at the old interchange is induced to move into the new Target store at the new interchange four miles up the road. I mean almost all of our highway spending. It costs more to build and maintain than it generates in returns and, therefore, will only continue so long as we have the capacity and the desire to delude ourselves." - Chuck Marohn, Paved with Good Intentions

The architecture of the Minnesota Vikings Stadium: take it or leave it?
Personally, I think it looks like a cross between a laser jet printer, a drunk Frank Gehry and something out of 2001: A Space Odyssey. This is not a compliment. However, be this as it may, preference on architectural styling, no one should be surprised as this is the usual forgettable stuff that post-modernist firms like HKS Architects have been creating for quite some time.
I've been a critic of professional sports financing for a long time and will continue to be; but now that it's a reality that the Vikings will get a new home, I'd like to see it be as good as possible. That means we need a combination of respectful architecture and urban design. This proposal fails on both fronts.
For all it's faults, the City of Indianapolis built Lucas Oil Stadium. It's a large, expensive taxpayer subsidizes stadium, but it does pay homage to classical architecture. It doesn't always have the best street frontage, but it still pretends the pedestrian exists. Going into tonight, I had my fingers crossed that we'd get something similar to Indianapolis.
The architecture and urban design of the new Vikings stadium are bad, at best. I'll ignore architecture here. The urban design isn't shaping out to be an improvement over the current footprint of the Metrodome. Urban design is very important, and for this reason, I ask the City of Minneapolis Council to consider that upon their approval of the site plan.
Along the plaza, facing the current Metrodome light rail station, a large plaza opens up to large glass walls. This will likely be an impressive sight from inside the new stadium, but it won't do much for pedestrian activity or promoting a lively streetscape during non-game days. The plaza needs more activity.
It's a large building that adds a small park to the Metrodome's existing footprint. We need more. But, what's a green space with an active surrounding? The park like space will likely be empty without adjacent buildings nearby to add activity.
There are no new improved transportation connections between the Downtown East neighborhood and the rest of downtown or the River. It's basically a new, modern rendition of the Metrodome: an over-sized, unquestionably ugly spaceship that adds nothing to the built environment.
The large plaza will be lively during the football season, but will likely be a wind-swept space during regular 9 to 5 Monday-Saturday. It's a large, nondescript plaza that pays homage to the stadiums large set of windows, and not to the surrounding environment.
This will arguably be the worst part of the stadium. It's a large, multistory blank wall. No activity here except a parking lot and some emergency exit doors. It's blank, dark and ignores the urban environment. This is unacceptable – a 5 to 6 story blank wall? No windows. A few doors. Lots of emptiness.
There really isn't much here that will act as an improvement in the urban design department, and it is hard to see how a building like this will promote additional development. Who would want to live by a monolithic, mega church of a building that only occasionally pays homage to the cultural Gods of Football. It'll be empty 95% of the time and chaotic the other 5%.
Now, with e-pulltabs being as they are, all we need to do now is find a way to pay for itself (and, if you don't care for it, well – if history repeats itself, it'll likely be torn down in about 20 years).
There is a $20 million sum of state money that may be dedicated to redesign Nicollet Mall. While $20 million could bring some impressive changes to the pedestrian mall, these funds would represent an unfortunate misapplication of limited resources.
We need to reconnect Nicollet Avenue- not re-design Nicollet Mall. It's being discussed over at Streets.MN, too.
Nicollet Mall, the nation's first pedestrian transit way, is one of Minneapolis' great success stories. It's the heart of downtown Minneapolis and has history of being the Minneapolis' Main Street.
The Mall came about in a time of urban turmoil across most of the United States. Cities were desperate to attract people downtown while residents were fleeing to the suburbs. Minneapolis got stakeholders together and created what was really one of the few urban success stories of the 1960s. Many cities followed suit. Most of them failed.
Fast forward to 2013. Nicollet Mall is still a great artery running through the heart of downtown. It's bike, walk and transit friendly. It has retail, food and good amount of street life. One could even argue that Nicollet Mall is downtown Minneapolis.
Minneapolis is still waiting on $20 million in state funding to redesign for the State government. However, the city is still moving forward on a design competition. This is a bad idea for two reasons:
First of all - there is nothing wrong with Nicollet Mall that can't be fixed by a little land use tweaks (and adding some more amenities on the north side of the mall besides parking). If you traverse Nicollet Mall, you'll quickly notice that building don't always address the street frontage in a responsible way. That is the main culprit. As a pedestrian space, it's already really, really good.
Now, there might need to be a brick that needs to be fixed here and there. Add a few climate-appropriate tree. The sidewalk heating system might need some updates and some fountains re-tooled. The Mall was reconstructed in 1991. At the time, a sidewalk heating system was installed – and it's not worked since. And guess what? It doesn't matter – the Mall still works because snow shovels still work (and they are much cheaper).
The main problem is that the buildings need to do a better job of addressing this pedestrian elements of the Mall. It needs more cafes, more food trucks, and more informal activity that integrates with building programming. But, by and large, the street does well. If anything, Nicollet Mall needs more small storefronts. It's as simple as that. It adds to the diversity of the environment and gives people something to enjoy. Large monolithic towers may look good from afar, but often do little for the street.
There is also something to be said about Nicollet Mall as a historic place. While other cities were giving up, Minneapolis fought back. There is something beautiful in that. It not only fought back in 1965, but also in 1991 (which was another decade of big city mistakes). Minneapolis' endevour worked, and it should be celebrated because it tells the great urban story of resiliency.
Re-design or not – the Mall will still be a central part of Minneapolis life. In the process of acquiring this $20 million in State money, there might be some great re-design submissions. And, I certainly do not mean to criticize city officials for trying to make downtown as great as it can possibly be, it's just that money can be spent more strategically elsewhere.
If the City of Minneapolis is looking to really create a noticeable difference in a world of limited resources, they need to look at the corner of Nicollet Avenue and Lake Street. One would be hard pressed to find a single decision that would have a greater impact on the lives of Minneapolis residents than opening up south Nicollet to Eat Street and connecting them to the Mall in downtown.
A redesign might make Nicollet Mall more modern, "green" and more landscape urban-y. But, I think we need to concentrate on places where we can get the highest return on investment. When I say, "return on investment" – I'm not just referring to the city's financial bottom line, I'm talking social and culturally. We can take a hub that has been depressed for 30 years, connect it north and south to downtown – not just for automobile – but for pedestrians and cyclists.
It's been talked about for years; and people are going to keep talking about it until it's fixed:let's re-connect Nicollet Ave! Let's get people together and let's get politicians on board! Today is DFL Caucus Day in Minneapolis – bring it up in your ward! Let's do something about Nicollet and Lake!
Lowertown in St. Paul doesn't have a parking problem. I take that back. It does have a parking problem – there's too much of it.
Here's a snapshot of downtown St. Paul. These blue spaces represent off-street surface parking lots and parking garages; but do not highlight on-street or underground parking. Also, they represent only, to the best of my knowledge, available public parking. There are a few more small parking lots but Google Maps limited me to 75 shapes per map.
I bring this up because there's a debate going on in Lowertown about removing up to 22 on-street parking spaces to expand a sidewalk to accommodate outdoor dining.
"The proposed sidewalk expansion would remove 21 or 22 parking spots from either side of the street, allowing sidewalk cafes near the Barrio, Bulldog and Bin Wine Bar restaurants or future bars. Building owners Dave Brooks and Jim Crockarell have embraced the plan and would pay for the sidewalk widening through assessments …" – Pioneer Press [1/3/13]
If you think that 22 spots is a mere drop in the bucket, you'd be right.
Grid.mn brings up that "It seems remarkable that business owners not only want less parking, but are willing to pay $300,000 to do it." This is true. The most important thing to note is that it seems like a change in attitude, at least from the business stand-point, of how city life should operate.
The opposition to the sidewalk expansion isn't without a good argument; "Some downtown residents have said that parking lanes act as a buffer between moving vehicles and pedestrians on the sidewalk and that removing those lanes could be a safety hazard." [Pioneer Press]. This is a good argument straight out of the Jeff Speck Walkable City Playbook. It's true. Cars can create a great pedestrian buffer zone.
In my mind, this whole debate is moot and has leapfrogged into the realm of ridiculous, including an implied comparison of the construction of Interstate 94 through downtown and the destruction of a historic neighborhood to that of a one-block sidewalk expansion proposal. The sidewalk proposal was also rejected by the Historic Preservation Committee, confusingly so I might add. What'sWhy is the moot? Because the real culprit isn't parking or cafes, and it shouldn't be viewed under just those two lenses.
This debate about city life (parking vs. cafes) has a uniquely American bend. I say this because we are ignoring the role that the street plays in this debate. Why does a street through the heart of our downtown need to have two through-lanes? Why can't we impede upon the traffic flow?
We have all of this space for an estimated 5,000 to 6,000 cars per day [MnDOT]. While it's not downtown's sleepiest road, it certainly doesn't have a lot of traffic compared to other areas that many would consider successful commercial, residential and retail streets. For example, this stretch of street has about 1,000 to 2,000 fewer cars than (smaller) Selby Avenue.
One of the failures of St. Paul is that it's refused to let go of one-way coupling streets; a move that would be likely lauded by planners and citizens alike (with St Peter St. and Wabasha St. being possible exceptions). St. Paul is still being held hostage by out-of-date auto-oriented transportation planning. And worse yet, it's so ingrained in our psyche that a situation like sidewalk cafes and parking comes into our public dialogue and we don't even consider that one-way couplings and our tenacity for traffic flow might be our biggest impediment to a successful downtown. Instead, we pit on-street parking versus cafe seating. Little do we consider that, if we were to slightly impede peak traffic flow, that we could actually have both.
Rice Park is a perfect urban park.
There's never a bad time of year in Rice Park. In the winter, it illuminates and warms up downtown. In the summer, it has beautiful tree cover. In the fall, you can enjoy the changing colors of the leaves against the beautiful backdrop of the St. Paul Hotel, Central Library and Landmark Center. In the spring, you can walk around and snap photos of Peanuts characters or measure yourself up against the stature of St. Paul favorite writer/alcoholic F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Rice Park is a beautiful island surrounded by equally beautiful local landmarks. It feels almost European.
The park is historic. In fact, the park is a few years older than the State of Minnesota. And, one of its amazing attributes is that it's changed over time in that sort of beautiful urban adaptability type of way. It was first used to dry laundry and graze animals. A fountain and bandstand were added in the 1870s and electric lights in the 1880s [source]. Now, it's a pleasant outdoor room with activities, ice sculptures, an occasional hockey rink and kitschy, yet-interesting and well-done statues.
Rice Park is a park, but it's also an outdoor room surrounded by some of St. Paul's most distinctive architecture.

"Peppers really add so much to a sandwich without additional fat or calories," Jeff told us last year. "I think you need at least three kinds of jarred peppers in your fridge: a pickled vinegary pepper such as a jalapeño or a cherry pepper, an oil-packed pepper like a hot giardiniera pepper, and then something with a good amount of texture like a sport pepper or a whole pickled jalapeño."

CMS initiative helps people make the most of their new health coverage
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
"From Coverage to Care" outreach to engage doctors and new patients
Today, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) launched a national initiative "From Coverage to Care" (C2C), which is designed to help answer questions that people may have about their new health coverage, to help them make the most of their new benefits, including taking full advantage of primary care and preventive services. It also seeks to give health care providers the tools they need to promote patient engagement.
"Helping to ensure that new health care consumers know about the benefits available through their coverage, and how to use it appropriately to obtain primary care and preventive services is essential to improving the health of the nation and reducing health care costs," said Dr. Cara V. James, director of the CMS Office of Minority Health. Dr. James noted that, "to achieve these goals, we need to make sure that people who are newly covered know that their coverage can help them stay healthy, not just help them get better if they get sick."
C2C will be an ongoing project. As more and more people obtain coverage, there will be a continuous need to ensure that people have answers to questions they might have about their new coverage and are appropriately connected to the health care system to help them live long, healthy lives.
Today's launch also marks the release of the new Roadmap to Better Care and a Healthier You, http://marketplace.cms.gov/help-us/c2c-roadmap.pdf?linkId=8267630, which includes 8 steps to help consumers and health care providers be informed about the diverse benefits available through their coverage and how to use it appropriately to access to primary care and preventive services. Among other things, the "Roadmap" contains information on health care coverage terms, the differences between primary care and emergency care, and the cost differences of decisions to seek care in- and out-of-network, where applicable to the consumer's health plan.
More information about C2C and other helpful resources, including a 10-part video series, to help those with new health care coverage make the most of their coverage, and raise awareness about the importance of getting routine primary care and regular preventive care are available at: http://marketplace.cms.gov/c2c. People with related questions about the C2C initiative should write to email@example.com Source : CMS initiative helps people make the most of their new health coverage

Birds nest and squirrels.
Posted 09 June 2012 - 03:29 PM
All morning long I have been sitting in my chair just inside where this nest is, and watched a constant array of squirrels checking it out. They go right up to it..see it's empty and leave.
The bottom line is...should any bird lay any eggs in the nest...they don't stand a chance of survival do they?

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. (WSVN) -- Broward Sheriff's Office homicide detectives, Crime Scene Units and firefighters are investigating after finding a body in a South Florida warehouse.
The fire broke out just before 4:45 a.m. Tuesday near Spirit Auto Brokers at 650 N.E. 27 St. in Pompano Beach. The Broward Sheriff's Office identified the victim as 53-year-old Robert Posley.
"The fire was called in by someone who was passing through the area and noticed that there was a fire, they called 911 and then we were able to get here quickly and put the fire out before any of the adjoining warehouses... caught fire," said BSO spokesperson Gina Carter.
Those who knew the victim said he worked and lived in the warehouse. "He had a little scooter and he drove around the neighborhood," said John Waldo.
"He was a real nice guy... I feel bad for him," said another man who knew Posley. "Washing cars and helping people around."
It is unclear how the fire started. The contents of the warehouse remain a charred mess and officials continue to remove several items of debris from the warehouse as they investigate whether the fire was accidental or if there was foul play involved.
People in the warehouse district remembered Posley as a hard worker who rode his scooter and loved to help people.
"He helped us out with everything, anything we needed help with," said co-worker and friend Steve Joseph. "He's a real good guy. Loved his scooter, always smiling, help you with anything."
"He's a super, super nice guy," said Waldo. "He came and visited every morning."
"A real good person, I mean, I wish everybody could have met him and know what kind of person he was," Joseph said.
The structure has been deemed unsafe. The neighboring warehouses were not affected.
If you have any information on this warehouse fire, call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.

Wind power proposals in Cape Vincent, Hopkinton, and Malone have brought out fervent supporters and critics.
