For updates and information on the West Michigan Water Trail or to leave a comment on the plan, please let us know!
Water trails are designated routes on navigable waterways such as rivers, lakes, and canals that are designed and implemented to foster an educational and recreational experience. They provide safe access to and information about waterways while also providing connections to cultural, historical and other attractions. They are intended for non-motorized uses such as kayaks; other users depend on the character and conditions of each water trail. Water Trails contribute to local communities by stimulating local economies and expanding interest in the protection of these globally-unique freshwater resources.
There are existing trails at various locations on the Great Lakes, as well as on inland waterways in Michigan and neighboring states. Some of these are well established, such as the section of Lake Michigan near Sleeping Bear Dunes in Northwest Michigan and the Pictured Rocks area of Lake Superior in the Upper Peninsula, but others have insufficient access points, signage, and amenities.
This research project is funded by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality Coastal Zone Management Program. The West Michigan Water Trail initiative is complementary to a series of similar DEQ-funded projects occurring along the length of the Lake Michigan shoreline this year that will document inland and lakeshore assets for the water trail. For instance, the West Michigan Shoreline Regional Development Commission is surveying potential Lake Michigan access points on inland lakes and streams throughout Muskegon, Oceana, Mason, and northern Ottawa counties.
This project is unique in that it seeks to gather information from a larger constituent, broadening the continuity of the water trails initiative to include inland sites such as lodging, camping, restaurants and convenience stores. In addition to mapping weather and climactic data, access locations, points of interest and other assets, this research project seeks input from the lakeshore communities. Input is vital in order to be able to develop the plan and gauge the level of community interest. Recognizing that watersports are not only communal and athletic but also commercial endeavors–that paddlers are also patrons–is vital to anticipating and monitoring the ripple effects of geotourism. This initiative hopes to illustrate the current state of non-motorized activity in the Great Lakes and propel management of ongoing use in a way that is environmentally and economically responsible.
West Michigan Water Trails encompass not only the access points and direct amenities, but dynamic features of the lakeshore (weather-related components) and connections to underwater and off-shore components such as cultural, historical, and ecological landmarks, in addition to lodging and other related businesses. For information on other Great Lakes water trails see: http://www.michiganwatertrails.org
Water trails are intended for non-motorized watercraft users. Type of watercraft is dependent on the character and conditions of each water trail, and may include surfing, wind surfing, kite boarding, parasailing, paddling, canoeing, kayaking, snorkeling, scuba diving, hang gliding, sailing, fishing, and swimming. Water Trails contribute to communities by stimulating local economies and expanding interest in the protection of our globally-unique freshwater resources.
Yes. Part of this research project is to catalog all public access points and amenities from Benton Harbor to Ludington as well as to identify gaps in points and amenities, identifying needs such as racks for watercraft storage, public bathrooms, and available parking.
Part of our task is to address these kinds of questions and concerns. Effective marketing and informational materials will outline "safe practices" and "good stewardship" of the water trail. Our plan is to engage in conversations with water trail users as well as private residents to avoid trespassing and outline rules and obligations for water trail use.
Our plan will also address recommendations for effective signage to better define public and private access points to the water trail.
This project will provide a "blueprint" for implementation. Additional funding will have to be provided to make the plans a reality.
This initiative is complementary to a series of similarly funded projects occurring along the Lake Michigan shoreline this year where Regional Planning Organizations are documenting inland and lakeshore assets and recommending potential enhancements to local governments that can contribute to a comprehensive Lake Michigan Water Trail. This project builds on existing relationships in the coastal communities and engages the public in conversations about the economic, cultural and environmental impacts of the initiative. Community meetings will be held in the primary coastal population centers.

Financial assistance for this project was provided, in part, by the Michigan Coastal Zone Management Program, Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), through a grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), U.S. Department of Commerce.
Twenty-one public meetings will be scheduled between January and May.
These meetings will occur in a series of three at seven location along the western Michigan coastline: Benton Harbor/St. Joseph, South Haven, Saugatuck/Douglas/Holland, Grand Haven, Muskegon, Whitehall/Montague, and Ludington.
If you are not able to attend these meetings or wish to comment privately, you are invited to give those comments or suggestions online.
A series of 18 public meetings will be scheduled for times between January and April.

After 11 of our 18 meetings. Here are some of our findings so far!
- There are many non-motorized users who are active in Lake Michigan
- At our public meetings we have heard from many different user groups including paddlers, surfers, sailers, kite boarders, etc.
- These various groups all use the lake differently, and they use different access points based on conditions of the water.
- For example a surfer needs waves, so they will use wavy areas that kayakers often avoid.
- The costal region has varying weather patterns and coastal conditions
- This may seem obvious, but this makes a big difference on how people interact with Lake Michigan. There are certain parts of the lake that are good for paddling and others places good for surf. So this means we need to be intentional in how we promote certain access points along this water trail to ensure the safety of all users.
- The users are both local and from across the county
- The local users are familiar with the climate and conditions of the water
- Those who are not local are less familiar with the water and access points
- These users likely need informative signage and good guides to help them understand the conditions of the water
- These users will have an large impact on the local economy of the area
- They will require places to sleep, eat, rest, and shop. They may also need equipment.

It only took over a week but the league office is finally getting around to reviewing the non-call on Blake Griffin's shove of Darius Morris. During the first installment of this season's Battle of Los Angeles BG took offense to Morris continuing play after the whistle was blown. The All-Star forward gave Morris a very impolite shove to show his frustrations.
When the refs failed to blow the whistle for Griffin's strong reaction to the extended play of Morris, Mike Brown flipped his wig. Brown's reaction, unlike Griffin's, didn't go unnoticed by the officials. Brown was hit with a T while Griffin was able to walk away with getting as much as a hard look.
Brown says the league informed him a technical should have been assessed. As for why Morris didn't get the call…just chalk that up to his virgin status in the NBA.
"The league said Blake should've gotten at least a technical for pushing him. The officials are human, but they overreacted and gave the Clippers a point there. It was officials looking at Darius and thinking, 'He's a rookie'."

Is Kenneth Dam working for Elliott Associates?
Kenneth Dam is an unusually reticent professor. Since he released his amicus brief in the case of Elliott vs. Argentina, I've phoned him and sent him multiple emails to two different addresses, but have received no reply at all. Which is odd, because he clearly feels very strongly about the case — strongly enough to enlist Kevin Reed, of the white-shoe law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, to put together his brief and submit it to the Second Circuit.
Such services don't come cheap: my guess is that Reed charged Dam well into six figures for his services.
So why would Dam spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to submit an amicus brief in this case, yet at the same time evince no interest in talking to the press about it? He hasn't returned Bloomberg's calls, either, and neither is he quoted in Michelle Celarier's story in the NY Post. But Celarier has managed to come out and say what many of us suspected, when we first saw the brief:
Elliott Capital Management'Äôs Paul Singer must be sweating it…
Singer has enlisted the support of ex-Treasury vet Kenneth Dam, who served under Ronald Reagan and was deputy secretary of the Treasury under George W. Bush, to write a "friends of the court" brief for Elliott in a case the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit is slated to hear later this month.
This wouldn't be the first time that Elliott paid a venerable law professor to submit a brief in support of its case. But in this particular brief, there's an unambiguous footnote:
Pursuant to Local Rule 29.1, Kenneth W. Dam states that he authored this brief and that it was not authored or funded by any party to this action.
On the off chance that you're not familiar with Local Rule 29.1, it requires a disclosure statement under FRAP 29(c)(5), which in turn says that this footnote must indicate whether "a person 'Äî other than the amicus curiae, its members, or its counsel 'Äî contributed money that was intended to fund preparing or submitting the brief and, if so, identifies each such person". Since Dam identifies no such person, I would normally conclude that he paid the costs of preparing and submitting this brief himself.
But Michelle Celarier is a veteran and very well-sourced journalist, and if she says that Dam's brief was commissioned by Elliott, I'm inclined to believe her.
It's all very peculiar. Within the brief itself, Dam's only declared interest is this:
Prof. Dam has a substantial interest in the outcome of this action because it presents issues involving the international financial markets, the role of international financial institutions, and U.S. international policymaking that he has written on and studied extensively.
Which might explain why he's interested in the outcome of the action, but doesn't come close to explaining why he's willing to spend a very large amount of money attempting to influence the outcome of the action.
All of this could be cleared up, of course, very easily, if only Dam or Elliott were willing to answer some simple questions. But instead we get this:
Dam didn't return a phone message and e-mail sent to his law school office seeking comment on the filing. Peter Truell, a spokesman for New York-based Elliott Management, declined to comment.
I first tried to ask Dam about this back on May 2, and then tried again on May 7. So far, I've heard nothing. So if anybody out there knows Ken Dam, and gets the opportunity to ask him a simple question, I'd be much obliged if you could ask him whether he's working for Elliott. Then, if he says yes, ask him why he didn't say so in his brief. And if he says no, ask him how much it cost to file this brief, and whether he personally paid the full sum. I'd be fascinated to learn what his answers are.
We welcome comments that advance the story through relevant opinion, anecdotes, links and data. If you see a comment that you believe is irrelevant or inappropriate, you can flag it to our editors by using the report abuse links.

For more information on our comment policy, see http://blogs.reuters.com/fulldisclosure/2010/09/27/toward-a-more-thoughtful-conversation-on-stories/
1.) I'd be surprised if an amicus brief cost in the six figures.
2.) Commissioned=/=paid for. Quite possible–and much more likely–Elliott just asked Dam to file a brief on their side. Nothing in the Post story you linked says otherwise.
3.) Pick a SCOTUS case at random and you'll see all sorts of amicus briefs. Many have similar boilerplate asserted interests.
I am really confused by this post. Kevin Reed represents Elliot Assoc. in the case. The way these things usually work, the lawyers solicit amicus briefs that would help out their clients. Why would you assume that it was Kenneth Dam that sought out Reed, and why would you assume that Reed would bill Dam for filing the brief when it was Reed's own client that would benefit from the brief?
Moreover Nothing in Celarier's story says that anybody paid Dam to write the brief; it simply says that Elliot enlisted his support. Why do you assume that money must have changed hands?
I suspect that Kenneth Dam is a wealthy man. Among other things, he served on a board of directors of Alcoa for 15 years. In addition, as a law professor, he could have done much of the drafting on his own, only hiring Reed to polish the rough edges. It wouldn't be as much of a burden on him as you say.
As the comment above says, Dam may have been asked by Elliott to file a brief, and some form of quid pro quo was implied (or not), and something was worked out between Dam, Elliott, and Reed to avoid money explicitly changing hands. Reed's page at Quinn Emanuel admits that Elliott is one of his regular clients.
This post is surprisingly ill-informed (and/or malicious)for an author of your caliber, Felix. Slowlearner got it right. There's nothing to see here, and certainly nothing that should call into question the good professor's integrity.
Thin ice here, FS – you've as much as accused Dam of a serious offense – something even worse than neglecting to return your calls.
When drafting required disclosures, lawyers are generally careful to follow the required language verbatim if they can. Perhaps Dam's reference to "any party" rather than the rule's "person" was unintentional, but it's odd.
" Which is odd, because he clearly feels very strongly about the case 'Äî strongly enough to enlist Kevin Reed, of the white-shoe law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, to PUT TOGETHER his brief and submit it to the Second Circuit."
"Pursuant to Local Rule 29.1, Kenneth W. Dam states that he AUTHORED this brief and that it was not AUTHORED or funded by any party to this action."
So I'm a little confused here. It seems that Dam is very clearly stating that neither Kevin Reed (nor anyone else) wrote the brief. So what do you believe Kevin Reed did that you believe cost a six-figure sum? Regardless of how rapacious lawyers are, I can't believe the simple act of filing the paperwork (and perhaps reading the brief to make sure there is nothing embarrassing therein) would cost a six figure sum, and no matter how much it cost, if it is true that Reed represents Elliot, then he filed that paperwork as just one of those services for which he is being paid by Elliot.
So it seems more like the cost here is the time spent by Dam in researching and writing the brief. Why would he spend this time? Well, the fact is people do crazy stuff like this constantly. Once someone buys into a particular view of the world, whether it's economics, politics, or the law, they're frequently willing to spend insane amounts of time to convert others to their cause. This strikes me as absolutely no different from, to take an obvious example, some of the commenters who stalk your pages and respond, sometimes extremely prolix, to your points.

Does Lindsey Bareham Cook By Herself?
As someone, who generally cooks alone, even if I'm doing it for a guest, I do sometimes find that some recipes aren't that easy to do without help. Too many seem to require something like peeling potatoes, whilst you are stirring a sauce or watching several pots to see that they don't boil.
But I never have these problems with recipes from Lindsey, and I now suspect she cooks everything by herself in the kitchen.
I spotted this as I read the recipe for my favourite fish pie, which I will cook tonight whilst watching the television. It's by Jamie Oliver and although simple, it definitely doesn't have a clear critical path with one person.
Do We Need A Rolling HS2?
The report today by the think tank, the Institute of Economic Affairs, which says that HS2 will cost a lot more than is currently budgetted for. It's all reported here on the BBC.
They make a lot of good points in the report.
Extra infrastructure such as trams and trains, will be needed to link other areas to the route.
Extra tunnels and other infrastructure will be needed to buy off the opposition.
The BBC summarises it like this.
The report said HS2 "and the add-on transport schemes will be heavily loss-making in commercial terms – hence the requirement for massive taxpayer support".
As someone, who is very familiar with project management, I've always felt that the logic of HS2 and the way it is being implemented could and will be improved.
If we look at the current rail network, it has problems that will eventually be solved or helped by HS2.
Euston station is not fit for purpose and should be redeveloped and/or relieved. I favour a second terminus of the West Coast Main Line at Old Oak Common, as I mused here.
There are very severe capacity problems on the northern part of the West Coast Min Line between Wigan and Glasgow. This is not part of the current HS2, so perhaps it should be done to make sure the Scots get their connections to the South improved.
The East Coast Main Line to Leeds and Newcastle, has a notorious bottleneck at the Digswell Viaduct and according to this report on the BBC web site, it could be removed for under half a billion.
One problem that HS2 doesn't solve is the bad connections across the north of England from Liverpool to Leeds and Hull. This BBC report includes an estimate of a billion plus.
So should we just define the route for HS2 and then break it into a series of manageable projects, that are implemented over the years.
We might design large stretches for say 300 kph, but most of the upgraded network would have limits of around 200 to 250 kph. Effectively large sections of the East and West Coast Main Lines can now handle 225 kph and just need resignalling.
The new Class 800 and Class 801 trains will be built to a design speed of 225 kph.
In some ways these trains may be the key to the whole of the expansion of high-speed services. I suspect, we'll see them on London to Sheffield and Norwich for a start.
Crossrail Don't Just Dig Tunnels
This report on the BBC, gives the latest progress on the archaeology program, that runs alongside Crossrail. Similar reports have also turned up all over the world including this one from India. So perhaps Crossrail is showing the world how to dig in more ways than one!
You have to congratulate Crossrail on their attitude to the past, which seems to be much better than other projects.
I suppose you could also be cynical, and say that they see the public relations as beneficial to getting the project done on time, as it minimises objections.
But who cares, if the project comes in on or under budget? Everybody!
Putting The Cart Before The Horse
The Standard is reporting tonight, that Lord Mandelson has changed his mind over the building of HS2. Here's a flavour.
In an extraordinary public U-turn, he confessed the costings were "almost entirely speculative" when Gordon Brown's Cabinet backed the idea.
Ministers wanted a "bold commitment to modernisation" after the financial crash, he said, and ignored the potential risks of what now looked like "an expensive mistake".
But then as Gordon Brown didn't have the financial acumen to run a whelk stall, what do you expect?
I've always been slightly cynical about HS2 and feel if it ever gets built, it won't be as is now envisaged.
But one thought struck me, as I read the article and it gave rise to the title of this post.
My background is in Project Management, which is all about getting things build the right way and in the correct order. Judging by all the arguments about how Heathrow Airport will link in to HS2, it struck me as strange that we are deciding the route of HS2 before we decide if we're going to build a new airport for London.
Look at any option, with the possible exception of a third runway at Heathrow and we'll have to revamp the railways around London, to create links to the North.
Strangely in a few years time, when the Midland Main Line is electrified, Sheffield will have the best links to a London airport, of any northern city. I suspect they'll be running trains from Sheffield to Brighton, which of course will stop at Gatwick.
That just shows how well politicians plan transport networks.
They haven't really done anything to solve the North-South problems we currently have and what will happen to construction methods in the near future.
HS2 is initially planned to go from London to Birmingham, but that route has one high speed 200 kph line and a convenient slower one. As I found last week, when I went to Birmingham, it's a good service and a lot of the problems are on their way to being solved. I wonder what amount of traffic, an upgraded and electrified Chiltern Main Line could carry, thus delaying the need for HS2 to Birmingham!
But go North from Birmingham to Manchester, Liverpool and ultimately Scotland and there is a real lack of capacity. Admittedly, Virgin's lengthened trains and a few new ones will help, but that line will probably be the first part of the West Coast Main Line to get totally overloaded.
So perhaps we should build it from North to South as some have proposed.
A very real problem is the cess-pit at the London end of the line; Euston. It was built on the cheap in the 1960s and needs a complete rebuild. Rebuilding Euston and building HS2 at the same time, would be a recipe for disaster.
And then there's the problem of freight capacity, which is going to get worse, as some idiot decided to build the UK's largest container port at London Gateway, in a place which is difficult to get to by rail,as most trains will have to fight their way through London. You could argue that the proposal to run freight trains on the old Grand Central Line by a company called Central Railway, should have been built as a freight spine first.
Building this line, would probably have taken a lot of the freight off the West Coast Main Line, so giving us the extra passenger capacity we need, at least as far as Manchester and Liverpool for a few years.
As with many things in Project Management, you don't let politicians be involved in the design or choose the order you do something!
I always remember the building of the Lewisham Extension of the Docklands Light Railway. The contractors were told it had to link various holes in the ground and cost under a certain amount. The politicians then stood back and it was delivered on time at an acceptable price. Not like the Jubilee Line Extension, which was built at a similar time and suffered endless interference from politicians.
One of my laws of project management states that the more political or board level interference in a project, the later and more costly the project will be. If however those at the top lay down a feasible specification with rigid time and cost limits, the project will more likely be delivered successfully.
The French Get Touchy About Language
The French can get very touchy, when English encroaches on territory, they think is reserved for French.
But this row, reported here on the BBC is totally of their own making, Here's the introduction.
The French parliament is debating a new road map for French universities, which includes the proposal of allowing courses to be taught in English. For some, this amounts to a betrayal of the national language and, more specifically, of a particular way at looking at the world – for others it's just accepting the inevitable.
The English-speaking world has nothing to do with it.
My French is such, that I can get by as a tourist. I also successfully used the language, when I was at ICI, as it was quicker to read scientific reports from the Belgian company, Solvay, in French, rather than wait for a translation.
On the other hand, when I was in Montreal, a few years ago, I was totally baffled, as Canadian French, is more different to French, than American is to English.
When we developed Artemis, we sold in quite a few European countries, but didn't bother with French, as we thought they would be touchy, wanting everything in their own language.
In the late 1970s, Metier had installed an Artemis system, at Chrysler in Coventry. For various reasons, it hadn't been upgraded, as much as it should. Soon after Peugeot-Citroen took over Chrysler in 1979, someone in Peugeot-Citroen decided to do a company wide survey of the various project management systems in use in the group. on one visit they went to Coventry and because they were impressed with what they saw, they came straight down the M1 to see us in our offices in Hayes.
Peugeot-Citroen then decided to buy a system for Paris. We told them it was only in English, but they said not to matter, as all their engineers knew the language. They did ask us to get some proper sales flyers in French.
The rest as they say is history, in that Peugeot-Citroen introduced Artemis to a lot of their friends.
Another story I remember, which illustrates the French and their language, happened a few years later. In the 1980s, I owned a company that made hand-tools. One tool, was exported to France and the United States. Our American agent asked if we could produce an English/French version for Canada. But a straight combination of what we already had was unacceptable and we had to get a special French Canadian translation at great expense. Eventually, the Canadians excepted it.
A couple of years afterwards, we had an urgent order from France, but unfortunately we were out of French leaflets. So we faxed over the French Canadian one to ask if that would be acceptable. The response was, that it will do, but that the French would have a bit of a laugh about the language.
Make of that, what you will!
I should say, that I once travelled to the States with a secretary from the New Zealand embassy in Ottawa. She told me, that some Canadians got very upset, if she sent them a letter with some American English spelling.
All Lined Up And Ready To Go
According to this article on Crossrail's web site, they are at full production of the lining segments for the tunnels at the Chatham factory.
There are certainly lots of them at the Limmo site waiting to go underground, after being barged from Chatham.
When the Victoria and Jubilee lines were dug in the past, I don't think that we saw such well-organised manufacture of tunnel linings and other components.
It all shows how our methods and especially the project management has improved.
When HS2 is built, who can predict accurately how much further improvement is possible?
Margaret Thatcher's Legacy
You could argue for years about Margaret Thatcher.
But it wasn't what she did or didn't do, that she leaves behind. In the course of history, there are only a few politicians, philosophers and sad to say despots and dictators, who have changed the world.
Margaret Thatcher showed that no rule or thought in traditional thinking is sacrosanct, when it comes to shaping the world. Since then we've seen lots of radical ideas work, that would have never even been thought of, had not Margaret Thatcher and a few others shown that you could do something different.
Would Tony Blair have been able to reform a Labour Party, stuck in the 1920s, without Margaret Thatcher showing what radical thinking could do? Or Ken Livingstone, reinvent himself, to make a comeback as the London Mayor. I suspect, if Margaret Thatcher hadn't been a radical Prime Minister, we'd have had a succession of useless worthies in the last few years.
I'll only give one example of where Margaret Thatcher ditched conventional thinking.
In 1982, conventional thinking, said that to attempt to retake the Falkland Islands after the Argentine invasion was utter madness, and many on all sides of the political spectrum said that to give the islands away was the best solution. How many people today, think that the decision to retake the islands was wrong? Not many I suspect! I've even met an Argentinian, who felt that we did his country a favour, by effectively getting rid of the evil dictatorship of General Galtieri.
Without Margaret Thatcher my life today would be very different.
After I had sold my first successful software; Pert7 to ADP, I received an offer to go to the United States to write a PERT system for a large US computer corporation.
How they got my number or the fact I'd sold out, I don't know?
Soon after, I was approached to write a PERT system, which later became Artemis, so I turned the Americans down.
I suspect that if that hadn't happened, I'd have eventually moved across the Atlantic, as it was just impossible to provide for a growing family with the tax rates, then in force.
i didn't move, as neither C or myself could have ever lived abroad permanently.
But Margaret Thatcher's Tax and other reforms enabled me to stay in the country of my birth. If tax rates were still as the eighty percent plus they were in the nineteen seventies, I doubt many of the brightest in the UK, would not have gone to where pastures were greener.
One aside here is a story from my accountant of the 1980s. A confirmed Socialist, he was not a supporter of Margaret Thatcher, but felt the tax reforms of the time were very good for the country. Although tax rates were lowered, her Chancellors were good at closing the myriad loopholes that had been developed by clever members of his profession. There may be a lesson here for today's politicians, who need to both maximise the tax take and keep voters happy.
The Phone Problems Of The Channel Tunnel
Years ago, I met the guy, who had project managed the installation of the telephone system on the Channel Tunnel. It wasn't as simple as you'd have thought. I remember one problem he outlined in particular.
Say you are an engineer, customs officer or whatever, employed by the Tunnel and because you are French, you live in France, but your major place of work is on the British side. You want to make a phone call to your wife, husband or partner, to say that because of a problem, you'll be late home for supper. Obviously, the same problem would apply to British employees working in France.
So is your call home a local call, which it would be if you lived and worked in the same country or an international call, which of course would be at a higher rate.
The solution was to make for telephonic purposes, the Channel Tunnel, its own country.
The guy who managed the installation was British, but he had a French-speaking mother, so BT probably made a good choice, as to who managed the installation of a rather complicated project.
1960s Architectural Failures
Yesterday, I went to or through four stations; Highbury and Islington, Euston, Manchester Piccadilly and Huddersfield.
Huddersfield is a Grade 1 Listed Building which means it is one of the finest buildings in the country. The others are three of the worst examples of how we designed and built stations in the 1960s.
So it got me thinking about what are the worst examples of 1960s architectural design, that I've seen. I'll start with the three I've already named.
Euston station – I probably went to Liverpool a couple of times from Euston before the current station was built and I have vague memories of catching trains there during the building in perhaps 1965 to 1967. The design shows classic "Think Small" attitudes as it was deliberately built with foundations that couldn't support development above. Only twenty or so years later, Liverpool Street station was remodelled, which shows how good design can be applied to old buildings. Since then St. Pancras and Kings Cross have been rebuilt using similar thought processes to those used so successfully at Liverpool Street. One does wonder what would have happened at Euston, if the rebuilding had been a few years later. Euston is now to be rebuilt for HS2 and I suspect they'll get it right this time.
Euston has another big problem, that you don't see on the surface. The Underground station is one of the worst in London, with no step-free access, innumerable staircases and escalators and a dingy cramped ticket hall. The only good thing about Euston station is that coming off a train, it's easy to walk to a bus, as I did last night. But try taking a heavy case on the Underground.
In some ways, Euston's problems with the Underground should have been solved, when they built the Victoria Line, which opened at around the same time as the new Euston station. It just showed how bad project planning was in those days. The fact that the Victoria line was built on the cheap didn't help.
Highbury and Islington station – This suffers badly because of the decision to build the Victoria Line on the cheap. Again it is not step-free and it perhaps is one of the worst stations for disabled access in the Underground, as when you get down the escalator, you then have a tunnel and a staircase to get to the platforms. At least the Overground platforms have lifts to the surface. Since I have moved to the area, the station concourse has been opened up considerably and it is not dark and cramped like it was a couple of years ago. To be fair to Transport for London, I think they've achieved the improvement without using tons of money. But solving the problems of access to the underground platforms will be very expensive.
Manchester Piccadilly station – This suffers in that it doesn't have enough platforms and lines. Additionally, of all the main stations in the country, it probably has some of the worst connections to other means of transport. It makes you wonder if it was designed as a cheap stop-gap solution to accept the new electric trains from London. They are spending a fortune on the Northern Hub, but will it get rid of all the hangovers from the 1960s and all the resulting layers of sticky tape? Only time will tell, but judging by the improvement of planning in recent years, it probably will. If you want to read about planning failures in the area, read this Wikipedia topic about the Ordsall Curve, which is a crucial part of the Northern Hub. It would appear that it had the go-ahead ( and money) in 1979.
So that's dealt with yesterday's examples, what others can be added to this list?
Kings Cross station – Although not specifically 1960s, but a few years later, this now virtually demolished extension was best described as a wart on the face of the Mona Lisa. The man who designed it, must have had the biggest conservation stopper of all time. I can't wait until I see the new Kings Cross plaza in the autumn.
Various stations – There were a lot of stations built in the 1960s that I don't like, although some are listed. I would start with a short list of Harlow Town, Stevenage, and Walthamstow Central. Railways have a lot to answer for, but some of their worst excesses were reserved for buildings like this signal box in Birmingham. Many reckon that Birmingham New Street station is another bad example, but at least the operation of the station seems to be pretty good. In fact the planned reconstruction of the station; Gateway Plus, is all about greater passenger comfort. So yet another 1960s monstrosity will bite the dust. Gateway Plus has this condemnation of 1960s thinking.
The current New Street station was built to cater for 650 trains and 60,000 passengers per day, which was roughly the same usage it experienced when it was first constructed. It was believed that demand for rail travel would decrease. However, it now caters for 1,350 trains and over 120,000 passengers – twice its design capacity. Passenger usage of New Street has increased by 50% since 2000.[2] It is predicted that passenger usage of the station will increase by 57% by 2020.
We do seem to have cut corners for decades and only now the chickens are coming home to roost.

Live Thread Series Thoughts
The Milwaukee Brewers are in town at Turner Field to take on our beloved, but struggling Atlanta Braves. The Braves' struggles are nothing new to fans, as we've seen them blow it time after time, particularly with the RISP stat. Atlanta pitching has hiccuped some as well, but has held pretty steady, and the Braves' tentative lead in the NL East would certainly be by a larger margin if not for an almost insufferably pathetic offensive. Sorry, I call em' like I sees em'!
The Milwaukee Brewers are playing well, sitting comfortably atop the NL Central with a four game lead over their nearest competition, the St. Louis Cardinals, who by the way almost swept the Braves in their last series. The Atlanta Braves won the opening series of the season against the Brew Crew, taking 2 out of those 3 games back on March 31st and following, but the Brewers are a different, improved, and much more cohesive ball team than they were back in late March/Early April. The Braves will have to play much better than they have of late to see the same outcome against Milwaukee this go-around.
It's great to see the Braves back home at Turner Field though, as those road trips always are doubly wearing on a team when they're not playing well. My hope is that the return home to familiar confines will put some much needed juice back in their offense. We shall see.
I won't bore with you the game details, but will encourage you to check our own Brandon Woodworth's Series Preview before the game, and then join us for our Live Thread tonight as we discuss the game, and all things Atlanta Braves!

The NFL has passed a new "helmet rule," preventing runners from leading with the crown of their helmet as they make contact with a defender outside the tackle box. While many like Marshall Faulk and Eric Dickerson have spoken out against it, current player and Cleveland Browns running back Trent Richardson has been used as the example of what not to do.
But Trent Richardson knows how to play football one way. And he isn't about to learn another way.
"I agree with making the NFL more safer for the players and stuff, but just the way I run, that's not going to stop me at all," Richardson said on ESPN Radio in Cleveland, via Sports Radio Interviews. "I'm going to do what I've always done and that's the only way I know. I've been doing that since [my] youth. I've been doing that since I was 6 years old, and you can't switch up the way you've been playing for 17 years. … I just can't switch that up, and that's something that's always going to be embedded in me."
"I try not to lead with my head like that but if somebody's up high to me that's what they're going to get. I try to get low and they're telling us now that we can't lead with our head with space in open field? I'm not gonna try to do it, but if it happens it happens. I'm just gonna have to be the guy to get a lot of penalties."
It makes you wonder though how his coaches will react if penalties are piling up and negating big runs, or how strict the referees will call it.
But the point Richardson is making is that ball carriers have been trained to carry and run a certain way for years, get low, push forward, and now they're expected to run upright into a tackler and gently fall with them? You're fighting instinct.
"It's a natural reaction, and it's really just us trying to protect ourselves," Richardson said. "And I agree with Roger Goodell trying to make the NFL more safer, but for us as runners it's kind of hard for us not to make ourselves safer. Ducking the head — that's kind of tough on our end to just stop doing that. That's just a natural reaction."
But defensive players have been expected to do it and comply, so there is a way.
"I kind of understand how defensive players feel now. … We can complain all we want, man, but rules are rules. And it's kind of crazy for us that we've gotta try to change up our style now. For some guys like me and Adrian Peterson and Ray Rice, a lot of guys that like to run people over, that's all we know."
And kudos to Richardson for disagreeing but saying he agrees with Goodell repeatedly to avoid being fined.

The New York Yankees celebrated a small victory Monday morning. Their star pitcher Masahiro Tanaka has been scheduled to play catch. Although, reports say that manager Joe Girardi was reluctant to admit the he was on the schedule to throw because he has not yet been evaluated by the Yankees' medical staff. The examination is scheduled for Monday morning.
Masahiro Tanaka scheduled to play catch Mon. First step of many to see if he can avoid TJ surgery and pitch again this season.
— Sweeny Murti (@YankeesWFAN) August 3, 2014
As Sweeny Murti points out this is the very first step in his road to recovery from a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament. Tanaka chose the rehabilitation path instead of immediately going under the knife with the hope that he might be able to return to the Yankees this season.
However, just because the Cy Young Award and Rookie of the Year candidate chose the rehabilitation path does not mean that he will not need the surgery farther down the road which could be anytime between today and months from now.
Last season New York Mets' pitcher Matt Harvey chose the same route as Tanaka but was unable to rehabilitate his elbow enough to pitch again and made the decision to get the surgery . Harvey was finally cleared to take to the mound for the first time since he had the surgery in October of last year.
Tanaka is determined to avoid the surgery at any cost but usually rehabilitation for a torn UCL is unsuccessful. Let's hope that is choice works out for both him and the Yankees, who have already lost pitchers C.C. Sabathia and Ivan Nova for the year. Starter David Phelps also left his Sunday start with an injury. More to come on that soon.

Spurs Europa League campaign has involved extensive travel this season and today's match takes them 217 miles inside the Arctic Circle. Tromso hold the position as the northernmost top-level football club in the world. The temperatures will be below zero and Tromso play on an artificial surface with the snow to be cleared off the pitch before kick-off.
[We remember well the difficulties Spurs experienced on an artificial pitch in Switzerland in 2010 when their Champions League campaign looked in danger of coming to a premature end.]
Date: Thursday, 28th November
Kick-off Time: 6.00pm (UK time)
TV Channel: ITV4
Live Stream: http://www.itv.com/itv4/
Team: Friedel; Naughton, Chiriches, Dawson, Fryers; Capoue, Dembele; Townsend, Sigurdsson, Chadli; Soldado Subs: (unused) Archer, Fredericks, Vertonghen, Holtby, Lamela, McEvoy, Coulthirst
Having left a number of players at home, Andre Villas-Boas took advantage of the strength of his squad to play a strong, experienced team with four young players on the bench.
This is only Spurs second competitive match in Norway. As holders of the UEFA Cup in September, 1972 they started the defence of their trophy with a 6 – 3 win over Lyn Oslo in the 1st leg match.
Previous Match
Spurs won 3 – 0 in the match against Tromso at White Hart Lane. Jermain Defoe scored twice in the first half and substitute Christian Eriksen scored the third in the final minutes.
Tromso have already been eliminated from the competition. They have 1 point from their opening four matches, earning a 1 – 1 draw at home to FC Sheriff in their first home match. They have since lost both games to Anzhi, losing 1 – 0 on both occasions. The goal in the home match came in the 94th minute.
Tromsø are participating in this season's Europa League as Norway's fair play winner. They have already been knocked out of the competition when losing to Besiktas in the play-off round but were reprieved when the Turkish side were disqualified.
Tromso finished the last Norwegian season in 15th place in the 16-team League so suffering relegation.
Andre Villas-Boas will be looking for a reaction from his players after Sunday's defeat to Manchester City. They will need to show application but the real rest will be against United on Sunday. The team will be without a number of players who have been left out of the squad, including Kyle Walker, Hugo Lloris, Paulinho, Jermain Defoe, Aaron Lennon, Sandro and Younes Kaboul who have been rested. Eriksen, Danny Rose, Harry Kane and Emmanuel Adebayor are also out due to injury.
The squad includes some of Tottenham younger players – Ryan Fredericks who played in some Europa League matches in 2011, Kenny McEvoy, Shaquile Coulthirst and Laste Dombaxe.
Spurs will want to maintain their unbeaten record in the competition and will be looking for at least a point to win the group.

More companies are in the planning phase of EQMS adoption than in previous years - significantly more. This is a journey that begins at disparate artifacts (binders, spreadsheets, repositories, etc.) with a planned destination of a comprehensive enterprise EQMS hub with appropriate integration across other core systems including ERP, PLM, MOM, EHS and CRM platforms.

In the first LNS Research blog article on this topic, we discussed the huge potential for billions of interconnected devices, along with summarizing some of the key investments, movers and shakers, and activities that are occurring surrounding the Internet of Things (IoT) for the manufacturing industries. We also explored the first of three big hurdles that we see as slowing down adoption – the need for more interoperability standards between IoT and existing manufacturing and IT industry standards.
If you're currently planning on implementing a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) or other applications in the Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) space, you may think you have all the shop-floor areas and situations that still use manual, paper-based processes identified, but this may not necessarily be the case.
Chances are, an increased rate of production response to changes in supply and demand is high on your operational wish-list. And you're not alone. When it comes to increased agility, it's hard to argue there's such a thing as too fast, and even small improvements in the ability to quickly ramp production up or down can translate to significant long-term bottom-line gains.
Generally, Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) software is thought of primarily as a collection of applications that manage production and related operations and activities. This is certainly true—the core intended purpose of MOM applications is to connect, aggregate, and federate shop-floor automation activities, along with all of the additional production workflows and supporting activities to the larger ERP and reporting software of the enterprise.
If you have a magazine or newspaper subscription, there's a good chance these days you're accessing content via an electronic log-in rather than a trip to the mailbox. Even if you're one of the diminishing few who prefers the feel of glossy pages or newsprint on your hands, your subscription no doubt contains a digital component that allows you to see the same content via your tablet or smartphone at no additional charge.
Embarking and accelerating on a continuous improvement journey toward improved manufacturing performance is becoming increasingly important these days, as the shifts around global supply and demand, heightened customer expectations, and exciting newtechnological capabilities have created an atmosphere where manufacturing excellence is required to lead, or even maintain your spot within your industry, regardless of what that industry might be.
In manufacturing, where competition, customer demands, and business complexity continue in an upward trend, the ability to successfully manage all aspects of manufacturing business operations and to connect systems and people on the shop-floor to the upper-level business suite quarterbacking the enterprise is becoming more and more challenging.
As a manufacturer in an increasingly competitive marketplace, there's a good chance you're on an Operational Excellence journey of some kind. And while your specific objectives may vary depending on the industry in which you operate, your geographic footprint, or current strengths and weaknesses, chances are that achieving greater operational agility is one of your important Operational Excellence initiatives. Agility is critical in allowing you to come closer to being a more customer-driven organization—which should be an important goal for any manufacturing company.
Manufacturing companies are looking for any advantage to remain competitive in today's fierce, global market with diverse supply chains and increasing customer scrutiny and expectations. Many have decided to implement Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) software solutions, either through full, comprehensive packages commonly offered by vendors, or by taking a modular approach, weaving in Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) software and Enterprise Manufacturing Intelligence (EMI)/Operations Intelligence (OI) capabilities to ensure consistently efficient operations and to manage performance in real time.

Pho 2000
A Saigon staple
What we say:
Pho 2000, right across the street from Ben Thanh market, is one of the more popular eateries in Saigon.
Famed for a visit from former US president Bill Clinton, they are the self-proclaimed best pho in town. While we'd make a case that it's not actually the best in town, the pho is decent and better than what you find in fancier chain restaurants.
Because of their fame, you will pay slightly more for a bowl here than you would in similar street establishments, but at only 40,000 VND a bowl you're still not paying much.
This hyped spot is on the smaller side and crowded at all hours of the day.

Nursing program under warning
- 0Feb 24, '13 by cheriealexa8If the nursing program I really want to go to is under warning by the BON, how serious is that? Should I be hesitant to apply?
- 2Feb 24, '13 by chrisrn24I would be.
Don't know what under warning means but it doesn't sound good.
- 0Feb 24, '13 by evolvingrnIt means they have poor pass rates. That means they are going to be weaning out students at a higher rate because they aren't going to want people sit for their boards if they are concerned they might fail .
- 6Feb 24, '13 by roser13Quote from cheriealexa8Oh yes. You should run away quickly from this facility. Contrary to publicity, there is NO actual nursing shortage at this time. There are TONS of nurses out there applying for positions. Graduating from a non-accredited facility will only serve to put your resume in the first-out bin in a highly-competitive market.If the nursing program I really want to go to is under warning by the BON, how serious is that? Should I be hesitant to apply?
- 2Feb 24, '13 by Best_Name_EverRun. Fast.
There is a school in my area that is in that position right now. I know some people that go there, and let me tell you. After talking nursing to them, I can see exactly why they are not passing boards!!! It is so scary. I would never want one of them as my nurse! Find somewhere that has a good reputation. It will help you in finding a job. Trust me, HR is aware of when a school is having these problems....usually everyone knows..
- 0Feb 25, '13 by xoemmylouoxRun far away.
- 0Feb 25, '13 by SycamoreGuyYou should probably look at their NCLEX pass rates for the past few years and see if it is a trend or a one time problem. If they are at all interested in saving their program they are probably working pretty frantically to clean house.
- 1Feb 26, '13 by delilasThe last thing you want to do is sign on to a school that could be closed in a few months.
This happened at a school near mine - most of the current students frantically came to my school to try to sign up and save their schooling but a) Our nursing school does not transfer nursing credit in from that institution and b) my school was a lot more strict about who they let in.
This is your money, your time, your degree, your career. Don't leave it in the hands of a school that quite obviously isn't doing well.

It seems that the NFL is planning on (not surprisingly) controlling all aspects of a potential team relocation to Los Angeles.
ProFootballTalk reported that the SportsBusiness Journal has reported that the NFL actively is nixing any move to L.A. that does not directly involve the league.
According to Daniel Kaplan of SportsBusiness Journal, the league reiterated to all 32 teams in an October memo that the league owns the market, and that the league will decide if/when a team can move there.
The NFL also explained, per Kaplan, that a team buying real estate in L.A., ostensibly for a new stadium, wouldn't keep the league from doing its own stadium deal. Kaplan writes that there are some concerns that a team may try to squat on the L.A. market by purchasing the land.
This story is extremely relevant to the Raiders given the fact that the Oakland Coliseum lease expires this season. This report shows it is entirely possible that the league fears that Raiders owner Mark Davis would try to swing a deal to return to L.A. without league involvement or approval considering the history of the Davis family and the fact the Raiders could feel a right to the city based on their Los Angeles history.
In 1996 the Seahawks tried to move to Los Angeles without the goahead of the league office. Not surprisingly that move failed miserably, to the benefit of the Seahawks who have a pretty good situation in the Pacific Northwest after riding it out.
The NFL wants a large piece of the L.A. pie. From an expensive relocation fee to complete control over how it is done, it is no surprise that we have yet to see an NFL team relocate to Hollywood. That difficulty and NFL meddling plays into the hands of Oakland fans, perhaps Mark Davis will rather deal with the headache with the cash strapped City of Oakland over having Roger Goodell and his cronies put their hands in the Raiders cookie jar by strong-arming the details of an LA relocation.
