|Oh you did it
I had forgotten about the Pat Massey Vince Young tango. Now I do indeed feel worse.

|Not Hubris
I get your point, but I don't see Hoke displaying Hubris. He's not "putting himself at the level of the gods in defiance." I see him as a buffoon who knows he's not that bright. I mean, we now know he's not that bright (time out at the end of the half, 10 men on the field in last week's punt return, etc.). He covers up his self-consciousness with stubbornness, but I don't see it as arrogance per se. In sum, I think it's a relatively humble guy who has dug himself a hole and is down there with only a shovel, so maybe if he keeps digging something good will happen. He doesn't see another option because he doesn't have the capacity for abstract thought.
And RichRod never struck me as displaying hubris at Michigan. "I want to be a Michigan Man" near the end of his tenure shows how beaten down he felt.
Brandon is a typical arrogant CEO, and there I see your label applying. He is also a buffoon, but unfortunately is completely unaware of this fact. That makes him all the more dangerous.

The google translate first option is not great on that one, Ace. "Pura Gambeta" in Latin America would mean more "at full dodge" which is obviously a pretty shaky translation as well.
I was gonna recommend the comments. They are indeed hilarious. My favorite is from justinianofrias: "Don't bullshit me. He's covered in soap."

|The Spot?
They used to focus on whether someone "beat the guy to the spot." In this case there is no question using that criteria. Did we stop using that criteria because of some other technicalities? (Obviously beating someone to the spot by beating them about the face with your elbow would never have counted.)

|That place you describe
Brian, I believe that place you describe is Venezuela. Not a political comment at all. But if you have ever played any sport against Venezuelans, you know they are fiercly "caradura" competitors, and will work any angle to their advantage.

As some have said above, Stooges are necessary (TV Eye, Loose, Now I Wanna be Your Dog all more than viable). And MC5's Kick out the Jams is the most obvious and winning choice ever.
If you need something cheesier, Detroit acts like Von Bondies ("C'mon C'mon") a few tracks from Detroit Cobras, and work. Hell, even Alice Cooper was born in Detroit.

|NCAA's main issue seems to be control
In college football they have hardly any (when compared to the other sports). They maintain the archaic rules in part to control what they can. If that is one of the major goals of their system, then #s 1 and 3 above should be amenable to the NCAA.
Following #3, about a year ago I came up with an idea similar to that, but addressing the TV revenues. It is basically that if the networks are using the images of the players to promote games, they should get paid based on a fixed scale determined by the NCAA. This lets them keep all that control, but fairly gives the money to the players who are actually bringing it in. Nobody's paying to see Will Hagerup (gifs are free, yo). But Denard puts butts in sofas and viewing lots of Coors Light ads.
The long version is here for those willing to indulge.
The worst part about this time of year is all the "outraged interlopers" who think they need to comment on playoffs and every other issue about the sport, yet they don't understand how it's different from the NFL. But whatever. Good post, Brian.
|2 years 47 weeks ago
I was going to say this exact thing. It is so blindingly obvious to have this game in Chicago, even if you have to do it at the Rosemont Horizon on an arenaball field. OK, not quite, but why not have the Midwest's major conference host its crowning event at the Mecca of the Midwest? These aren't the teams with the biggest fan bases in the conference, but they've gotta be #s 5 an 7 at worst. This is pathetic.
|2 years 47 weeks ago
|That's what stood out most for me, too
This seven-straight thing just, I mean, it doesn't seem real, does it? It doesn't seem that long ago that we considered this game a holiday because we almost always won. But it has been an eternity. The "seeming" is wrong and probably just nostalgia more than anything. I can't bring myself to think about failure in this game. And I am afriad to think about victory. Kickoff can't come soon enough.

|Anyone else notice...
...that Brian is remarkably unemotional today? Just content, you know? Satisfied. I feel the same. With so much looming this Saturday, it's not a time to be joyful. Just content. Win next week and emotions can soar. Lose, and it's all... discontent. Disatisfied. Pissed, even.
I'm happy with the win, but I want elation. T-minus five days. (Fingers crossed.)

I keep thinking about the 2007 team whose offense did just enough to get through the Big Ten season alive before unveiling a spread out attack for the bowl game against Florida. Obviously the various injuries may have made that impossible earlier in the year, but at some point during between the OSU game and the bowl, the coaches realized it would work. Will Borges take a look at this game and realize anything? Will Hoke? How much more do we have to see?
Maybe my comparision is not perfectly direct, but the concept is still a worthwhile one.

|It's in there
I came away from this game feeling that it somehow meant something. It shouldn't, right? Minnesota is horrendous, and while it's not Baby Seal U, nobody should get ahead of themselves. I think you've put it in the right perspective, Brian, and found the words for my jumbled mix of thoughts. I simply can't wait for these next two weeks to find out what we're really made of..,.

Clearly there must have been some moment where RR realized he couldn't win. That whatever steps he had needed to take were already missed opportunities. When did RR realize that he was doomed, and did he openly express any regrets?

...that people assume we are talking about a ton of money? If Delany's going to actually make a proposal, he should make more clear how much dough it's going to be. He mentioned 15 bucks for laundry. What's he hoping to have covered?
It would be nice if the commissioner would have some sort of plan in mind before he opens his mouthor writes open letters to other conferences... or names his divisions or messes with the most important game his conference has or whatever comes next from the mind of the Dude's landlord...

|Bowl Guarantees
Seems to me that the big problem is that this stuff is set up ahead of time. The school doesn't get to negotiate with the bowl in particular. Doesn't seem like a very sensible way to do business. They have the schools over a barrel, because what are they going to do, NOT go to a bowl game? If you're Northern Illinois, you only get so many opportunities to get that bowl bid. Well, I guess with so many bowls forced to take eligible teams, the "smaller" schools could indeed negotiate this. Why don't they? Are they overly optimistic about how many fans are going to show up?

|12% = nothing
I can't imagine that a 12% correlation is stastically significant, even with a sample size from here to the moon (which analysis didn't have anyway). Fair to just say that they are not at all correlated year to year.
Additionally, when talking about an overall trend, this kind of correlation analysis makes sense. But when you're talking about just one team and just one pair of seasons, it is irrelevant. Any team could be an outlier at any point. And the reasons Brian mentions are far more powerful data than any look at the overall landscape of college football.

|Two random thoughts
Wait, first of all, much wooooh.
Thought one: These are not the Albert White, Robert Traylor Wolverines. I know this is not news to anyone, but what a phenomenal display of team basketball.
Thought two: What were Illini fans thinking during this one? They despise Pearl for getting them in trouble with the NCAA over the recruitment of Deon Thomas. Yet they believe Michigan is their top rival. I'm guessing they enjoyed the bloodbath, but had to think about it a bit.

|Is Tressel a junkie?
How can someone with his experience level actually think he was going to get away with this? This is such an unconscionable error, one that he had plenty of time to think about during the offseason before pressing onward. It doesn't matter if these were his two best players. He had to know this was a bill that had an awfully high probability of coming due.
Which leads to my question: is Tressel a junkie? "Successful" junkies (of any kind - drugs, gambling, alcohol, sex addiction) tend to be able to hide their junkiness for a while. They get away with it and do more and eventually things get so out of control that they're snorting coke off the towel rod in the bathroom when their teenage kid walks in on them. As compiled by Brian earlier and referenced above, this is not the first smoke emanating from potential fire on Tressel's watch. It just happens that with those e-mails this smoke comes straight from the gun itself. And Tressel left his prints all over it.
He really was on top of the world. Leading the only significant program in the third most talent-rich state. Big Ten titles and BCS bowls and top recruiting classes. He evidently even had the president of the university in his back pocket. Tressel is now college football's Tiger Woods. He pushed this thing as far as he could while still getting away with it. He should have blown his own whistle as soon as that e-mail came through. Any resonable person would have seen the inevitability of the situation. But he obviously thought he could get away with it. Are we to believe that getting out of jeopardy scot-free in the past is not a factor in his decision to ignore the obvious?
They say never trust a junkie. That's hard to do if you don't know they're a junkie in the first place. Sometimes you need proof to stop enabling. I can't imagine the NCAA will try to do anything less than a harsh intervention. Not anymore at least. Dude hasn't even accepted that he has a problem yet. Someone needs to sit him down and tell him what's what. It's clear that the peopel close to him aren't going to do it.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic • Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural style...

Infographic: World Mobile Browser Market Share
Nokia's share of the world mobile browsing market shows remarkable disparity, and this chart from iCrossing provides good insight into why the Finnish handset giant made a deal with Microsoft to start running Windows Phone 7 on its devices.
Nokia's Symbian OS runs nearly half of all phones in Tunisia, and in Egypt, this figure climbs to 80 percent, but figure is quite anemic in much of Western Europe, the U.S. and other mature markets.
PaidContent has more analysis:
—Microsoft's Windows Phone does not have a big enough marketshare in any one market to make it into the charts. For that matter, neither does webOS.
—Nokia (NYSE: NOK) dominates by wide margins in developing markets, but in mature markets Nokia is either too small to make it into the rankings, or it is low on the list. It's striking how consistent that is, and it makes one wonder if the company should be pursuing something more dual as a strategy, opting for Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) in those markets where it has nothing to lose, and staying with its familiar products where they are still going strong.
As far as dowries go, Nokia's gift to Microsoft has the potential to make for a happy marriage. With no discernible presence in the mobile browser space for Microsoft, this is an especially gutsy move, and potentially disastrous for Nokia.

India and Sri Lanka in West Indies - Tri-Series 2013(Full Coverage)
By Siddharth Vishwanathan , Bangalore, 2013/07/13 04:13:00In the case of MS Dhoni, his leadership in cricket has transformed Indian cricket in such a way that when fans look back at this era, it will truly be called 'The Golden Era'. The focus in this article is celebrating MS Dhoni, the leader who continues to excel with each passing day.
The year was 2005. A tall South African-born batsman with those dyed 'dead skunk hair' had been named in the England squad for Ashes. Kevin Pietersen had already made a lot of buzz in the ODI circuit amassing 786 runs at an average of 87.33.
Turn up the pages in the history of The Ashes and you will witness something special that happened in the English summer of 1989.
By Tristan Lavalette , Bangalore, 2013/07/09 19:36:33There's only so much a coach can control. He can't score the runs or take the wickets. The team's destiny remains with the players. But, for Australian fans there's now hope of an Ashes ambush, and that's thanks to Darren Lehmann.

Capital One Agrees to $75M TCPA Class Action Settlement
This Capital One class action settlement is said to be largest case ever settled under the TCPA.
According to the preliminary approval given by U.S. District Judge James F. Holderman, Capital One, Leading Edge Recovery Solutions LLC, Capital Management Services LP, and Alliance One Receivables Management Inc. will collectively pay $75.5 million to a class action settlement fund for eligible Class Members. Additionally, these companies will have to change their business practices of cold-calling customer's cellphones.
According to the Capital One TCPA lawsuit, the Class includes:
"All persons within the United States who received a non-emergency telephone call from Capital One's dialer(s) to a cellular telephone through the use of an automatic telephone dialing system or an artificial or prerecorded voice in connection with an attempt to collect on a credit card debt from January 18, 2008, through June 30, 2014, and all persons within the United States who received a non-emergency telephone call from a Participating Vendor's dialer(s) made on behalf of Capital One to a cellular telephone through the use of an automatic telephone dialing system or an artificial or prerecorded voice in connection with an attempt to collect on a credit card debt from February 28, 2009, through June 30, 2014."
The settlement statement for the TCPA class action lawsuit states that Capital One will pay the majority of the settlement, about $73 million. Leading Edge will contribute close to $1 million, Alliance One will pay about $1.4 million, and CMS will pay more than $24,000. None of the named companies have admitted to any wrongdoing in the in this TCPA class action lawsuit.
The Capital One TCPA Class Action Lawsuit is In Re: Capital One Telephone Consumer Protection Act Litigation, Case No. 1:12-cv-10064, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
What Is The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)?
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act was passed into law in 1991 by Congress with the intent to limit the ways in which companies could contact or solicit customers. Specifically, the TCPA restricted telephone soliciting and telemarketing made on automated telephone equipment with prerecorded or robotic voices. The TCPA also limits how and when any company can utilize an automated dialing system to leave computerized voice messages or text messages on the home phones or cellphones of clients, patients, and other consumers.
Additionally, the TCPA mandates that companies and solicitors to honor the National Do Not Call Registry, which all consumers are free to enroll in at any time.
Capital One is not the only company facing TCPA class action claims for allegedly violating consumers rights guaranteed under the TCPA. Hundreds of TCPA civil and class action lawsuits have been filed in the United States in just the past year by various consumers.

MMGT Business Project (MMGT6101)
The Business Project Unit of Study, is designed to provide students with a real life learning experience. Most students are already familiar with various business disciplines through course work; however the interdisciplinary use of this knowledge and the capacity to translate it into practical solutions is often a new challenge. The project permits students to combine theory and practice - they learn how to analyse problems, develop recommendations and propose solutions to the problem. In addition to providing hands-on experience on how to deal with a business problem, the course also offers a unique chance to learn about how teams function. Students will work in small groups of four (4) or five (5) and partner with a real organisation over a ten (10) week period to provide solutions to a real business problem identified in consultation with the partner organisations. Projects will range from social entrepreneurship programs, where students work with community groups and NGOs, thorough to consultancy projects for large multinational corporations. Projects will be overseen by a specifically appointed consulting mentor and students will also have access to business mentors throughout the project. Students will be required to make a presentation and provide a written report to the client organisation, as well as to create and disseminate a Thought Leadership Piece on a topic linked to their challenge.

Best. Lesbian. Week. Ever. (November 7, 2008)
Wednesday was a bittersweet morning for gay and lesbian Americans. On the one
hand, most of us were overjoyed at the groundbreaking decision we had made as
a nation to elect Barack Obama as our first African-American
president. On the other hand, we were heartsick by our fellow Americans'
decision to repudiate our equal rights in ballot initiatives across the country.
Out celebrities from Ellen
DeGeneres to Melissa
Etheridge and Samantha
Ronson voiced the duality of their and the gay, lesbian, bisexual
and transgender community's emotions over the election results.
Gay marriage bans were passed in California (Prop. 8), Arizona (Prop. 102)
and Florida (Prop. 2) and Arkansas voted to ban gay couples from adopting children
or foster children (Act 1).
The one (dimly) bright spot was Connecticut's decision not to open a
constitutional convention with Question 1, which would have cleared the way
to ban the state's recently legalized gay marriages.
In short, Nov. 4 was our Tale of Two Cities. It was the best of times, it was
the worst of times. While one minority group got to reach the mountaintop, queer
Americans were once again ushered to the back of the bus.
As the full impact of the news set in by mid-week, many stars spoke out on
the passage of Prop. 8 and other anti-gay initiatives.
DeGeneres issued
a statement:
Watching the returns on election night was an amazing experience. Barack
Obama is our new president. Change is here. I, like millions of Americans,
felt like we had taken a giant step towards equality. We were watching history.
This morning, when it was clear that Proposition 8 had passed in California,
I can't explain the feeling I had. I was saddened beyond belief. Here
we just had a giant step towards equality and then on the very next day, we
took a giant step away.
I believe one day a "ban on gay marriage" will sound totally
ridiculous. In the meantime, I will continue to speak out for equality for
all of us.
Etheridge wrote a commentary on The
Daily Beast which read, in part:
Okay. So Prop 8 passed. Alright, I get it. 51% of you think that I am a second
class citizen. Alright then. So my wife, uh I mean, roommate? Girlfriend?
Special lady friend? You are gonna have to help me here because I am not sure
what to call her now. Anyways, she and I are not allowed the same right under
the state constitution as any other citizen. Okay, so I am taking that to
mean I do not have to pay my state taxes because I am not a full citizen.
I mean that would just be wrong, to make someone pay taxes and not give them
the same rights, sounds sort of like that taxation without representation
thing from the history books….
When did it become okay to legislate morality? I try to envision someone
reading that legislation "eliminates the right" and then clicking
yes. What goes through their mind? Was it the frightening commercial where
the little girl comes home and says, "Hi mom, we learned about gays
in class today" and then the mother gets that awful worried look and
the scary music plays? Do they not know anyone who is gay? If they do, can
they look them in the face and say "I believe you do not deserve the
same rights as me"?….
I got news for them, someday your child is going to come home and ask you
what a gay person is. Gay people are born everyday. You will never legislate
that away.
Celebrity DJ, Obama backer and Lindsay Lohan's girlfriend Ronson wrote
on her
MySpace blog about the dichotomy of California's votes on Prop. 8
and Prop. 2 (which strengthened protection of chickens and other livestock):
I guess people care more about farm animals than they do their fellow man,
that's really sad to me. Yes, I am glad that the chickens will have
more room and better conditions as they wait to die, but I just think it's
frightening that people show more compassion for tomorrow's dinner than
for the chef.
Yup, Miss Piggy and Chicken Little may rest easy, but gay people in Florida
and California can no longer get married and gay couples in Arkansas can't
adopt children. G-d forbid a loving family (regardless of sexual orientation)
give a needy child a home!
Oh well, I guess one out of four ain't bad!
The rest of the community's response has been a mix of shock, sadness
and determination. In California, which legalized gay marriage in May, the passage
of Prop. 8 was met with marches, protests and vigils from Los Angeles to San
Francisco and Sacramento. The American Civil Liberties Union, Lambda Legal and
the National Center for Lesbian Rights filed
a writ petition before the California Supreme Court urging the court to
invalidate the proposition.
On the No on Prop. 8 campaign's website, the message was clear: We will
not give up. And, so, we won't. As Dr. Martin Luther King said in his
final, famous speech, "Only when it is dark enough can you see the stars."

"Oakland: the city that told Google to get lost
Highly paid employees are pushing up rents near the tech giant's California headquarters, forcing locals out and destroying communities, say activists. Now Oakland's residents are fighting back – hard. But are they too late?
If pushing your enemy into the sea signifies success, then Google's decision to start ferrying workers to its campus by boat suggests the revolt against big technology companies is going well. Standing on the docks of Oakland, on the east side of San Francisco Bay, last week, you could watch the Googlers board the ferry, one by one, and swoosh through the chill, grey waters of the bay towards the company's Mountain View headquarters, 30 or so miles to the south.
Not exactly Dunkirk, but from afar you might have detected a whiff of evacuation, if not retreat. The ferry from Oakland – a week-long pilot programme – joined a similar catamaran service for Google workers in San Francisco launched last month. The search engine giant is not doing it for the bracing sea air. It is a response to blockades and assaults against buses that shuttle employees to work."

FORT MYERS, Fla. - A shooting near Fort Myers High School prompted the cancellation of a Junior Varsity football game Thursday evening.
Witnesses on campus reported hearing shots fired shortly before 7:00 Thursday night.
A school spokesperson tells WINK News the shots were off-campus in a nearby neighborhood. The JV football game was canceled as a precaution, and the school's gymnasium secured for a volleyball game that had just begun. The spokesperson said nobody was being allowed to enter campus following the shooting, but students could leave by their own transportation, or have a parent pick them up at designated locations.
Police set up a perimeter near the school to investigate. There were no immediate reports of any injuries.
Only WINK News was there as one of those suspects was taken into custody.
Theman who lives at a house off McGregor says he caught one of the suspects in his driveway.
Neighborstell WINK News they saw the gunmen running through their yards and getting within feet of their homes.
One man was visiting a high school football game at Fort Myers High School and says he heard gunshots.
"After about 10 minutes of being here there was some shots fired, five shots in good succession and what looked like youths running through the forest," he said.
Another lady who lives just a few blocks away from Fort Myers High School also says she heard gunshots.
"Iwas riding my bike down cortez and I thought it was fireworks and i heard about maybe six," said Bonnie Mahobacher.
"One shot, then another shot, then another shot and there was at least six," said Mahobacher.
Fort Myers Police and Sheriff's deputies surrounded entire neighborhoods.
Roads were blocked off as K9's sniffed the groundand the helicopter searched for the suspects by air.
"Then the police came to the stadium and said for safety purposes we have to evacuate the stadium," said one witness.
One mansays his neighbors saw two of the suspects run through his girlfriends yard.
"Hollered at them and they took off running to my girlfriends house in to their yard and disappeared down Barcelona," said Chris Whittman.
Only WINK News was there are one of the suspects was being questioned by police in handcuffs.
Gregory Donovan says he found that suspect in his driveway.
"I walked outside here and a gentleman said he had been drinking and didn't think he was doing anything wrong but and I said to the police officer he is right here in my yard," said Donovan.

Overview: Despite failing to record a single sack and only playing in 8 games in the 2013 season due to a knee injury, Louis Nix is likely to be the highest drafted Notre Dame Defensive lineman since Bryant Young was selected in the top 10 of the 1994 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers. After watching him on tape, I can see why. Nix has been a dominant force inside for the Fighting Irish over the last 3 seasons. His breakout season came in 2012 when he led all Notre Dame defensive linemen in total tackles with 50, which is pretty impressive for a guy who tips the scales at over 330. He also had 2 sacks, 7.5 tackles for loss, tipped 5 passes and forced one fumble.
- Shocking lateral agility for a man of his size. Weighed in at 331 lbs. at the Combine, but still makes it look easy out there.
- Solid tackler. Shows good form and absolutely engulfs the ball carrier.
- Strong. Has the ability to bring ball carriers down with arm tackles because once he gets ahold of them, he doesn't let go.
- Absolutely dominant against the run. Forces running backs to improvise a lot.
- More disruptive than the numbers indicate. He might not always make the tackle, but his presence is always felt.
- Doesn't move offensive linemen backwards as much as you'd expect. Has a really good anchor, but just doesn't seem to get much push himself.
- Needs to learn to keep his feet underneath him. Plays a little off-balance and winds up on the ground too much because of it.
- Inconsistent motor. Disappears for stretches and visibly takes plays off from time to time.
- Must learn to shed blocks better. Has to attempt arm tackles too much because he is still engaged with the offensive lineman. That won't fly at the NFL level.
- Lacks finishing burst. While he does redirect the ball carrier a lot, other people tend to make the tackles because he's just not quick enough to bring them down.
- Below average pass rush skills. He can pressure the quarterback from time to time, but not enough. Gets neutralized by double teams.

While Wilfork has never had more than 3.5 sacks in a single season over his career, he's still one of the more dominant defensive tackles in the game. He's also shown scheme versatility as the Patriots have frequently used both 30 and 40 fronts during his time with them. I expect Nix to have a similar career.
The Way I See It: I definitely wouldn't boo this pick for the Bears at 14. I would be a little apprehensive because I think they could likely trade down and still get him, but I like the player. I've been relatively vocal this offseason about how much I like Aaron Donald, but Nix might be more what the Bears need. A massive space eater in the middle might be just the ticket to fixing the Bears' porous run defense.

10.5: An AppleScript to restart an AirPort Base Station
I found it necessary to make a couple of adjustments (sorry, don't have a solution to the problem of selecting which base station). If it happens that Airport Utility is already open, and the Manual Setup has already been selected, I had the script fail with an error. Instead of these lines:
I replaced them with these lines:
I also increased the delay after activating the script to
delay 10, and the delay after "say 'Restarting Airport'" to 5, which works better with my setup.
Great script! My airport base station seems to disappear from my laptop after a couple of days, making printing wirelessly impossible to the printer attached to the wired computer connected to the ethernet on the base station. Restarting the station fixes it, so I've got the "Restart Airport" script set to automatically run every morning at 2 am.

A Powerful Story that Reminded Me About Gratitude
I am grateful for the many good things that are part of my life. And, while I do my best to reflect an attitude of gratitude, I recently heard a story that truly put everything into perspective.
The story came a few weeks ago from a neurosurgeon I only knew as the result of a breakfast conversation at a B & B where we were both staying.
It started as the…

Does Simplicity Make the Complex Possible?
There is power in simplicity.
While I'd like to take credit for saying that, it actually is a comment a young woman provided as part of the evaluation she completed after taking part in leadership training I helped deliver this week.
I was both proud and grateful that she saw the value of the training and resources we had provided to help participants succeed in their diverse work as community leaders.
The truth is that we have worked extraordinarily hard to reduce the confusion and complexity of community building by providing a clear road map. It hasn't been easy to…

I Have a Thing for Quirky People
I have a thing for quirky people.
You know the ones I mean — the artist who is always late, those like magpies who are continually distracted by the next shiny thing, and the ones who are brilliant yet struggle within the confines of traditional education.
In large part I find them to be incredibly interesting people who stretch my thinking and my learning the most.
While I would describe most of my quirky friends and colleagues as creative, interesting, eccentric, and oddly appealing, there are others who may not share my opinion.
Others might describe these same people…

Maybe the Question is the Answer?
I recently received an email from an associate saying how thrilled she was to be part of a group that supports difficult conversations. It was significant to me because it was an acknowledgement of an organizational culture that embraces questions.
Unlike some organizations where questions are seen as complaints or as being disruptive or disrespectful, I like to think we have created a culture that reflects an understanding that asking the right question is often the answer.
Without a culture that encourages questions, it's virtually impossible to achieve results of any significance because being inquisitive and challenging the status quo…

Is Real Innovation More Social Than Technical?
I am a community builder. And, if there is a gene that contributes to being a practical community builder, I definitely received a double dose.
While community building clearly needs both wings and landing gear to fly, I am without a doubt a landing gear kind of woman. So, while I'm always intrigued by new concepts, ideas, and solutions for building communities, my real test for innovation is whether or not something really makes a difference for people.
As a result, for me innovation needs to be about challenging the status quo as well as believing that we…

What is Disruptive Technology and Why Should I Care?
It seems everyone these days is talking about innovation or the lack thereof. Although I was never exactly sure what it meant, the latest buzz phrase seems to be "disruptive innovation".
This past week, amidst the chatter surrounding the pending launch of the new iPhone 6 (anticipated to be a smaller version of the iPad mini), I heard a pundit suggest that while the phone may bring new features, it wasn't likely to be considered disruptive.
Instead, he explained, it was the first iPhone launched in 2007 that would be considered disruptive technology—not because of its attributes as a…

Skunkworks? A Solution for Community Building?
Community building involves working with a variety of government departments, non-profit organizations, and businesses. Over the years I've learned all three typically have a lot in common.
For example, by most standards they are successful and have leaders who are smart and pretty good at doing what they do. They also acknowledge we're living in a world undergoing fundamental, rapid, and long term change driven by unprecedented growth in technology.
The thing is that while they know they need to keep on top of digital technologies and utilize the power and potential of the Internet, they don't always…

A Manly Man
Unlike me, my husband reads and understands instruction manuals.
As a result, he is a bit of a geek when it comes to technology. Over the years, albeit with some cursing along the way, he has taught himself how to assemble computers, operate complicated software programs, and build his own websites. However, something quite extraordinary happened about a month ago after he had wrestled with the increasing complexity of the website for his online kite store.
Yes, my darling husband admitted that regardless of how hard he worked or how many manuals he read, he needed help. He subsequently hired…

Practice makes perfect…or at least better.
Recently I have been delivering a lot of training sessions focused on the how-to of community building. As a result, I'm gaining traction in terms of becoming more comfortable and confident with both the content and delivery. However, I wobbled a bit recently when I started to prepare for a session for economic developers.
After all, up until now I have been talking about community building to people who already understand it is as a priority. That is not quite the same as talking to those in a sector like economic development who…

3 Paths to Help Conquer the Chaos of Change
I'm having a tough time finding any straightforward workplaces these days. My consulting work is landing me in organizations where everything seems to be complicated and messy. Not only that, the change is often driven by a belief (usually that of the funders or elected officials involved) that there is a one-size-fits-all secret sauce solution that can be implemented within six months.
Needless to say these days it often takes much longer to check anything off my to-do list. Sigh.
Without a doubt this drive for change is due to our constantly changing, hyper-connected world, and a growing recognition…

One Smart Cookie
When my brother and his wife split up some years ago, my sister-in-law moved her family to Florida where she was able to obtain a great job as a nurse. While it was a sound choice it also meant I lost the opportunity to develop anything but a casual relationship with my two nieces. That's changed just recently when Jillian moved back to Canada.
Imagine my surprise and delight after all these years to find we have a lot in common, particularly when it comes to our shared entrepreneurial drive and wanting to make a difference in our communities.…

There is Joy in Risk
Two years ago, having been unceremoniously cut loose from the all-consuming community development work I had passionately embraced on behalf of a non profit organization for over five years, I found myself at a crossroads. It was, as Dr. Phil would say, a defining moment.
Ultimately, my way forward would be determined by the answer to a single question, "Do I choose to finally complete the MBA that I had pushed aside for many years, or do I choose to try and make a difference with what I had learned. Clearly I couldn't afford the time and money to do…

What the World Needs Now is Phronesis?!?
Sometimes multi-tasking is a good thing. It has in fact, strengthened the Campus for Communities where I work with a number of other associates as its Founder and Principal Collaborator.
The grassroots consulting, coaching, and facilitating being done by our associates feeds and shapes the training, tools, and resources we are able to offer via the Campus. In a reciprocal fashion, the training, tools, and resources feed and shape the calibre of what we are able to bring to our respective consulting work.
It works as a methodology - albeit an unexpected one - for curating, simplifying, and…

Is Putting Things in Boxes Really the Answer?
I felt her angst.
In a recent conversation, a colleague and friend for whom I have the deepest respect, sighed deeply, and spoke about how overwhelmed she is feeling these days what with the competing demands of a young family, a demanding job, and a never-ending tsunami of data and information coming at her.
Despite being a woman who is clearly creative, resourceful, and innovative, she went on to speak enviously about those she knew who were good at routines and practices that allowed them to put things - meaning tasks and "to-dos" - in boxes.
While I…

31 december 2010.
I've had such an amazing time this year. New job, friends, lovers. Through all the obstacles i've gone through, the fights, tears, laughter. It made me stronger. For so long i've been chasing after this illusion that i thought i've always wanted. But the truth is, its far from what i want. What i want is to be able to trust again, to be able to pour out all my heart and soul to that someone knowing that he'll always be there for me. To be able to get out from my comfort zone and accomplish stuffs that i was to afraid to do, the fear of rejection gets to me all the time. But no longer will it stop me. This year i've had the time of my life going to gigs, parties. Seeing muse,30 seconds to mars live, on stage with them. Inches away from jared leto was phenomenal. I couldn't ask for a better year. So for 2011, all i want is to be more optimistic, to surround myself with incredible individuals, get better grades in school, try out new things. Most important of all, to be with my friends and family. So here's to 2011, let the good times roll.

I remembered you as a guy that will always slack with me out Design & Technology class where we would curse Mr Elmi all day. We would also jump with joy upon hearing his absence. We will slack in the library and gossip non-stop. I miss those days brother. People may misjudge you but deep down, to the people who knew you, you are one true friend who never fails to help us whenever we were in trouble. 7 years of knowing you was worth the friendship I guess. You may be gone but you will FOREVER live in our hearts as one caring friend.
Rest In Peace Brother. [1991-2010] We miss you. We will going down to your funeral tomorrow & see you for the last time. Wherever you are, we hope you will always be smiling and never forgets us. We love you, Darren. :(

Next Major War in Space?
michael posted about 11 years ago | from the throwing-rocks-in-glass-houses dept.805
An anonymous reader writes "A US Northern Command general thinks that with US and international military dependence on space assets (such as GPS, eyes in the sky, communications), the next major conflict will occur in the heavens. He acknowledged that the US wants to keep space peaceful, but that can't last forever, and potential threats might not care, anyway. Yes, China's recent success (or what we heard from the military secrecy) relates to this, but he also said he's not implying China is a threat, or will be."

Earlier research on patient safety also focused on errors of commission (e.g., prescribing a medication that has a potentially fatal interaction with another drug the patient is taking). However, errors of omission (e.g., failing to prescribe a medication from which the patient would likely have benefited) may pose an even greater threat to health. On average, patients receive only about 55 percent of those services from which they would likely have benefited (McGlynn et al., 2003).
It is not possible to quantify the full magnitude of the safety challenge with certainty. The health care sector does not routinely identify and collect information on errors. Experts have challenged the estimates of patient harm attributable to errors, as well as the methodologies used to derive them (Brennan, 2000; Hayward and Hofer, 2001; McDonald et al., 2000; Sox and Woloshin, 2000). As substantial evidence about adverse events continues to accumulate in the United States and other countries (Vincent et al., 2001; Wilson et al., 1995), however, there is no doubt that their occurrence is a serious matter warranting attention. The risks to public safety—and the opportunities for large-scale improvements—are sizable.
As concerns about patient safety have grown, the health care sector has looked to other industries that have confronted similar challenges, in particular the airline industry. This industry learned long ago that information and clear communication are critical to the safe navigation of an airplane. To perform their jobs well and guide their planes safely to their destinations, pilots must communicate with the air traffic controller concerning their destinations and current circumstances (e.g., mechanical or other problems), their flight plans, and environmental factors (e.g., weather conditions) that could necessitate a change in course. Information must also pass seamlessly from one controller to another to ensure a safe and smooth journey for planes flying long distances; provide notification of airport delays or closures due to weather conditions; and enable rapid alert and response to an extenuating circumstance, such as a terrorist attack.
Information is as critical to the provision of safe health care—care that is free of errors of both commission and omission—as it is to the safe operation of aircraft. To develop a treatment plan, a doctor must have access to complete patient information (e.g., diagnoses, medications, current test results, and available social supports) and to the most current science base. The doctor and the patient must also be aware of other environmental factors that affect the ability to implement a treatment plan, such as the availability of hospital beds, current waiting times to obtain specific services, and insurance requirements for prior authorization or use of specific providers. Doctors and nurses armed with information on infectious diseases (e.g., in-

- Heat a large frying pan and crumble in the mince. Fry over a high heat for 8 mins until completely browned. Pour in the tomato sauce and leave to bubble, uncovered, for 15 mins until thickened. Taste and season if you need to.
- Heat the grill. Cut the baguette in half lengthways, then cut the halves into 2 pieces. Place the bread, cut-side up, on a baking tray and grill for 2-3 mins until lightly toasted. Remove from the grill and divide the mince between the pieces. Scatter over the torn pieces of mozzarella.
- Grill for 3-4 mins more, until the cheese is bubbling and golden. Scatter with the basil and serve with a salad, if you like.
