Nathan Mackenzie Brown: Profile of an Impact Investor
Part of the problem or part of the solution?
"I think a lot of people blame the 'top 1 percent' for causing 'big evil corporations' to act in socially and environmentally unethical ways," says Nathan MacKenzie Brown, a 34-year-old entrepreneur and impact investor — and one not prone to mince his words.
Brown doesn't deny the consequences stemming from the concentration of wealth in the U.S. But the fact is that the spread of stock ownership has changed dramatically in the past 30 or 40 years. More Americans than ever before, 47 percent, own at least some stock.
"It certainly isn't fair to blame the horrible behavior of corporations on the top 1 percent alone," Brown says. "I think it is time for every one of us who puts money into an investment account for retirement to realize we are either part of the solution, or we are part of the problem."
The task then, for those of us wishing to be part of the solution, is to reconcile our economic interests with our social values.
Urban Organics: Sustainable Development in Post-Industrial America
The land of sky blue waters – what beer, urban development and aquaponics have in common
I date myself by admitting that I reflexively think of beer when I hear the expression, "the land of sky blue waters." Originally translated from a traditional Omaha tribe love song, the phrase became the title of a popular song in 1909 and later adapted as the Hamm's Brewery sales jingle in the 1960s.
For decades Hamm's beer was made at a brewery in St. Paul, Minnesota. "Sky blue water" is a rough translation of the word "Minnesota" and harkens back to the good old days when Hamm's was purportedly brewed with water from a Minnesotan artesian well.
Long since swallowed up by the Miller Brewing Co., Hamm's left St. Paul and for 15 years the iconic brewery lay abandoned and in disrepair — one of many crumbled, discarded buildings symbolizing the decline of the Rust Belt in America, as the once proud and powerful industrial base of the region faded, moved offshore or disappeared entirely.
That's the bad news.
The good news is that what was once a battered, graffiti-ridden building in the center of a decaying "food desert " — where local communities have little access to affordable, nutritious food — is now home to Urban Organics, an aquaponics startup that is a model for both global sustainable agriculture and the post-industrial revitalization of urban America.
Investing in Sustainable Fishing: A New Lease on Life for New England Communities
America was built on Cod.
When Americans today think of the first Thanksgiving feast, we often lean on our childhood history lesson version of events; the brave settlers celebrating with their new neighbors the survival of those first harsh months in a new world. Long tables of turkey and maize are etched in our minds, symbolizing a land of plenty and a unifying, if short-lived, bond with the newcomer's native benefactors.
It is a foundational moment in the mythology that helped carve out a new country. But it was not as much the turkey and maize, but the even more bountiful harvest from the North Atlantic, cod especially, that underpins the foundation of the new American continent. Cod built colonial America, at least in New England.
It is said that cod was so abundant in those times that you could walk across the ocean on their backs.
Those days are long gone. The North Atlantic cod, once fabled as inexhaustible, is all but a faded memory of the past. What then happens to the towns and villages up and down the Atlantic seaboard that once thrived on what is now a tapped-out resource?
Sustainable Fish Farming: Global-Scale Aquaculture in the Big City
Editor's note: This is the third post in a three-part series on sustainable fish farming startups. In case you missed it, you can read the first post here.
In the first two posts of this series, we introduced Kampachi Farms, an open-ocean mariculture startup on the Big Island of Hawaii co-founded by Neil Sims and Michael Bullock. When their mariculture fishery, the Valella project, got started in early 2012, the future of aquaculture and mariculture was uncertain, as a lawsuit brought by Food and Water Watch against the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) pertaining to aquaculture was wending its way through court. The suit brought the founders of Valella into a complicated area that spanned legislation, the role of governments and NGOs, and how to best help environmental groups understand mariculture.
When I recently spoke to Sims for a follow-up interview, he was preparing to travel to the Hague to participate in the Global Ocean Action Summit for Blue Development.
"This is looking at the way that we can grow marine industries in a scalable, responsible manner. Work to feed the planet, work to heal the oceans from the depredation that we've put upon her and harness the energy of commercial development to do that."
From the basic research, Sims and his colleagues began way back with Kona Blue Water Farms, to the Velella test projects (beta and gamma) and on to global operations for ocean mariculture, this is what is near and dear to Sims heart — finding ways to feed a hungry planet while healing a depleted ocean.
An ocean and a continent away, in New York City, the mission is the same, just replace the blue Pacific with the rooftop of a Manhattan ironworks factory.
The Future of Mariculture and the Role of Startups, Lawmakers and NGOs
Editor's note: This is the second post in a three-part series on sustainable fish farming startups. In case you missed it, you can read the first post here.
In the first post of this series, we introduced Kampachi Farms, an open-ocean mariculture startup on the Big Island of Hawaii co-founded by Neil Sims and Michael Bullock. When their mariculture fishery, the Valella project, got started in early 2012, the future of aquaculture and mariculture was uncertain, as a lawsuit brought by Food and Water Watch against the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) was wending its way through court. Principal among the issues Food and Water Watch had with NOAA was allowing the Velella project to proceed in federal waters.
Food and Water Watch characterized Velella as "factory fish farming," challenging its legality in court with the Magnuson-Stevens Act as the basis for its argument.
The Magnuson-Stevens Act of 1976 is the primary law governing management of marine fisheries in the United States. Formally known as the Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976, the law has undergone a number of amendments since then, including the Sustainable Fisheries Act of 1996 and the Magnuson–Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act of 2006.
"They [Food and Water Watch] thought that aquaculture was not fishing," says Sims. "NOAA's position is that, under the Magnuson-Stevens Act, which refers to the harvesting of living marine resources, there can be aquaculture as well." Food and Water Watch lost their initial suit as well as an appeal in the 9th Circuit.
Sustainable Fish Startups: From the Open Seas to the Inner City
Editor's note: This is the first post in a three-part series on sustainable fish farming startups. Stay tuned for the next installment tomorrow!
Powered by their rapidly expanding populations, emerging world economies are working hard to close the gap with developed nations. As this trend of convergence continues and accelerates, growth in the coming decades will increasingly focus on the developing world.
Even now about 1 billion people, mostly in developing countries, depend on seafood as their main source of protein. How to feed a hungry and growing population from an increasingly stressed resource, in many places teetering on collapse?
Got fish?
The World Bank estimates that by 2030, as the global population tops 8 billion people, only 38 percent of seafood consumed globally will be wild. The rest, fully 62 percent, must come from fish farming and aquaculture.
As vital as wild fishery preservation is to ocean health and biodiversity, given this outlook for the necessity of farmed fish, the focus for building an adequate source of healthy seafood for human consumption must look to the expansion of sustainable fish farming, aquaculture and aquaponics.
Bringing sustainable fish production to scale requires a variety of new approaches and techniques developed by visionary — and sometimes controversial — business startups, operating in diverse circumstances. From the open ocean far offshore to inner-city "post industrial" warehouses, solutions are emerging.
The Better Cotton Initiative: Making Sustainable Cotton Mainstream?
"King Cotton," as it came to be known in the American South, has an unsettled past.
The crop has played a critical role throughout history. As with all things intertwined with human endeavor, cotton bears witness to our triumph and tragedy, often playing a central role in each.
Enduring the threefold challenge of economic, social and environmental issues, cotton production is often implicated as unsustainable and subject to the allure and consequence of profit at all cost. Global cotton production comes increasingly from low-wage areas of the developing world like China, India, Africa, Bangladesh and Latin America.
Cotton accounts for 40 percent of global textile production, supporting the livelihoods of 300 million people or nearly 7 percent of all labor in the developing world. The scale of global cotton reflects how much we depend on it and how far removed most of us are from the effects of its production and consumption. The cotton industry reaches all the way from small-holder farmers living in poverty to the chic fashion salons of New York and Europe.
Soccer Ball Harnesses Energy of a Swift Kick
Soccer rules–with the possible exception of one enclave in North America known as the United States. As Erik Distler writes in a June 2012 TriplePundit article, soccer ("football") goes far beyond just sport and athletics. It is a unifying force that drives community and social change, two essential ingredients for sustainable development.
The stardom and celebrity of sport–of a Pelé or Beckham–grabs the spotlight for a time and sells product, but it is in the dry, dusty fields of the developing world where perhaps the biggest and most lasting impact of soccer happens–where kids learn the joy of play, even in the harshest of circumstances. Their daily lives may seem to offer few solutions for a better life, but the simple love of a game and a joyous sense of play offers solutions in unexpected ways.
Take the Soccket ball. At first glance it looks pretty much like any other soccer ball. As far as a kid playing soccer with his or her friends in an empty field after school, it is like any other soccer ball. But Soccket is different.
Soccket, the flagship product of New York City-based startup Uncharted Play, harnesses the energy of play to literally light the path of a child's education in the developing world. In fact, 30 minutes of play translates into three hours of light from the Soccket's companion LED light.
The idea is at once startlingly simple and eloquent; kinetic energy is stored for later use as an electrical source to power a light. Critics may–and have–assert that poverty or the energy crises can't possibly be solved by "kicking a ball around," and they'd be right. They'd also be entirely missing the point.
CollectiveSun: Solar Power for Nonprofits
The boom in solar energy in the U.S. is due in large part to innovative financing, putting solar within reach of almost any business or homeowner with a roof, for little more than their signature. But for nonprofits it's a different story.
Traditional banks and financial institutions shy away from lending to 501c3 nonprofit organizations who are dependent upon charitable giving because they see it as an unreliable source of revenue. "We shouldn't penalize nonprofits for being nonprofits," says Lee Barken, founder and CCO (chief community officer) for CollectiveSun, a firm specializing in solar power financing for nonprofits, a deeply underserved market in need of a solar power financing solution.
With years of experience as a CPA and LEED-AP in renewable energy project finance, Barken saw day-in and day-out the gap that did, in fact, penalize nonprofits interested in going solar. With no tax liability, nonprofits are unable to reap the tax benefits of solar power projects available to homeowners and for-profit corporations. "Solar should be accessible by everybody trying to expand the market and include community participation," says Barken.
Stanford Start.Home: Sustainable Design That Puts People First
In 2002 the U.S. Department of Energy launched the Solar Decathlon, an international college competition where students refine and present their best ideas in solar-powered home design. The Solar Decathlon's interdisciplinary challenge requires students to design, build and operate a cost-effective, energy-efficient home from the drawing board up.
The Solar Decathlon challenges participating students to break new ground, figuratively and literally, on sustainable home design. Held every two years, a top contender at the 2013 Solar Decathlon was Stanford University's Start.Home, leading the pack in market appeal, affordability and engineering.
Getting to the core of energy efficient home building
Reflecting the holistic nature of sustainable design, the Stanford team comprised a broad range of disciplines, from design and architecture to computer science, product design, business and social science.
Will Our Cities Save Us? Municipalities at the Nexus of Change
Ed note: This post originally published on GlobalWarmingisReal.com and has been entered in the Masdar Engage blogging contest for the upcoming Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week
If you'd like to enter, there's still time. Just follow these instructions. The deadline is Jan 3nd!
At the national and international level climate action is stalled under the unyielding weight of factionalism and meeting the diverse agenda of a global community. At the personal level, the issues of climate change and building a sustainable future for our children seems overwhelming; whatever efforts we can lend to the cause feels too small and inadequate.
In many ways meeting the challenge of climate change and sustainable development is often most effective at the municipal level. Cities strike a balance between meeting the diverse needs of its inhabitants with the ability to adopt and adapt to the realities and challenges of global warming, development, infrastructure and energy.
Climate adaptation for cities
In the wake of the devastating storms of 2012, including Hurricane Sandy in the United States, the need for municipal-level adaptation and resilience became clearer than ever. With Sandy, New York and New Jersey saw communities destroyed and lives devastated due in part to decades of poor planning and decimation of natural infrastructure. Urban communities often take the brunt of not only extreme weather events, but the consequences of poor planning and development. The extreme weather trend has only continued globally in 2013, with drought, unprecedented storms and record temperatures in every part of the world.
American Idol Kelly Clarkson Rallies Support for Fair Trade Coffee
For most Americans, our morning cup of coffee is the requisite first step before anything else that may occupy our to-do list for the day. It's unlikely, while groping bleary-eyed for the coffee pot or the $5 bill for the local barista, that our thoughts are focused on the origins of our daily brew. In our early morning delirium, we may be more inclined to idly ponder last evening's latest American Idol competition than where the coffee beans in our morning cup came from, how they were grown or who grew them.
That's ok, you're forgiven. It's early.
And you'll forgive me if you're either not a slow-riser (I suspect most 3p readers are, unlike myself, more of the up-and-at-em temperament) or a fan of American Idol. But whether you are a fan or not, shows like American Idol are a big part of today's mainstream culture, launching careers and wielding impressive brand awareness.
It seems almost everyone's heard of American Idol, but, alas, only 38 percent of consumers are familiar with Fair Trade. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. (GMCR), the world's largest purchaser of Fair Trade certified coffee, hopes to change this gap in awareness. Earlier this year, Green Mountain Coffee, a brand within GMCR, enlisted the popularity and goodwill of Kelly Clarkson, one of American Idol's best-known winners, and a popular music celebrity in her own right.
Safe Water Network: Activating Consumer Demand to Secure Safe Water
Despite much progress, nearly 800 million people still lack access to safe water. It isn't for lack of trying, and a diversity of those efforts was recently discussed at World Water Week in Stockholm. One argument is that there is a fundamental disconnect between the well-intentioned benefactor and the communities they hope to impact.
Bridging this gap involves more than just charity. It requires building trust, community engagement and individual ownership. Instead of a top-down approach of pushing aid at those in need, why not harness market-based principals to activate consumer demand for access to clean water?
This was the focus of an inspiring session at World Water Week,, highlighting the work done by the Safe Water Network, one of the PepsiCo Foundation's key water partners, to bring sustainable access to safe water to communities in India and Africa using market-based concepts of consumer demand predicated on the idea that paying for water creates sustainable access.
Market demand for sustainable solutions
Achieving Access to Safe Water: Reflections on World Water Week
This post originally appeared on Global Warming is Real.
In 2010, the United Nations passed resolution 64/292 mandating the basic human right to water and sanitation.
- Nearly 800 million people lack access to safe water
- More than one billion don't have basic facilities for sanitation and hygiene
- About 3.4 million people die every year due to water-related diseases
Efforts abound to secure access to safe water for the nearly one billion and one-billion-plus without sanitation. But still, that effort falls short. Too many people struggle every day to find enough safe – or any – water for themselves and their families. Too many people, many of them children, die every year because they don't have the resources for proper sanitation and hygiene.
This is due, in part, to a growing awareness that the standard philanthropic model of charity doesn't work. Wells are dug, latrines are built, pictures are taken and published in media for the funders back home. Intentions are good but lasting results don't happen. Wells sit abandoned or dried-up, latrines broken and unused. Access to clean water is controlled by a "water mafia" after the well-meaning, but ultimately ineffective, NGO or charity is long gone.
Future of San Francisco's Market Street Comes Into View
Public engagement is key to building sustainable and livable cities. Too often the trend of the past half century has been to design urban infrastructure around the automobile, leaving people and mass transit as a poorly conceived afterthought.
People residing and working in these car-choked urban environments are typically powerless to contribute a meaningful voice in the design process because they can't visualize the consequences of the two-dimensional technical representations of a proposed design. It's like "hearing" Beethoven's fifth symphony by looking at the score. Unless you're a trained musician it's little more than lines and squiggles, not the majestic music that results in the execution of the symbolic representation.
San Francisco-based startup Owlized has teamed with Autodesk to help "bring the symphony alive" for public stakeholders and non-technical policymakers when considering infrastructure and urban design proposals.

Three University researchers have been awarded coveted funding for innovative research that will advance their respective fields.
Dr Marco Hauptmeier from Cardiff Business School, Dr Christian Bueger from the School of European Studies, Translation and Politics and Dr Rebecca Dimond from the School of Social Sciences have each secured funding worth c£310,000 from the Economic and Social Research Councils Future Research Leaders scheme.
The scheme aims to support outstanding early career researchers to carry out excellent research and to develop all aspects of their research and knowledge exchange skills. Less than 70 fellowships, across all social disciplines and all universities in the UK, were awarded this year.
Dr Hauptmeier's research focuses on the collaboration of British businesses in employers' organisations. He aims to discover and identify all employers' organisations in the UK, collecting key information on each as well as analysing the relationship between businesses and their employers' organisations. The findings of his research will be widely disseminated through publications, presentations, workshops and a conference at Cardiff Business School in 2015.
The international response to the problem of contemporary maritime piracy is the subject of Dr Bueger's research. He will conduct the first major systematic analysis of the different institutional measures that have been taken to curb piracy off the Eastern African Coast, the Gulf of Guinea and in South East Asia. Drawing on an innovative framework of analysis and collaboration with maritime practitioners Dr Bueger aims to understand the institutional mechanisms at play and what makes it so difficult to find adequate solutions to piracy and other oceanborne crimes. His work will provide a major contribution to the research agendas of international relations and maritime security studies and intends to assist in identifying innovative maritime governance solutions.
Dr Dimond's research explores patient and practitioner perceptions of controversial IVF techniques involving mitochondria donation. Widely reported as offering reproductive choice for women with mitochondrial disease, the techniques have also led to concern about '3 parent' embryos and the 'slippery slope' towards human genetic modification. Rebecca's research will raise questions about the meanings of risk, its impact on reproductive decision making and the role of technological solutions in the context of complex and uncertain biomedical knowledge.
Professor George Boyne, Pro Vice-Chancellor, College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences at Cardiff said: "The ESRC's Future Research Leaders scheme is fiercely competitive so it's great to see that three of Cardiff's outstanding early career researchers have been recognised for the impact, originality and relevance of their work. Each of these projects will contribute vital new knowledge to their field and has practical application more widely."

Change Iphone Skins
Adding a skin to an Apple iPhone can change the look of the smartphone in just a few simple steps, but before attempting to apply the sticky skin on the expensive device, it's important to know how to change iPhone skins. Numerous companies sell iPhone skins, allowing for a design perfect for nearly anyone. The convenient and quick process allows for different designs to be applied via iPhone skins on demand.
To change iPhone skins, you will need:
- Apple iPhone
- Damp cloth
- Rubbing alcohol
- iPhone skin
Process to change iPhone skins:
- Clean your iPhone thoroughly. Use a damp, but not wet, cloth to wipe any dirt and debris from the phone. Be careful not to allow any water to seep into the phone body. Allow to dry.
- Use rubbing alcohol to remove grease and fingerprints. Wet the cloth with a bit of rubbing alcohol and wipe the iPhone gently. Allow to dry.
- Remove the tabs from the iPhone skin. As most iPhone skins include portions that need to be removed prior to changing an iPhone skin, remove these unnecessary pieces. Generally, the portions that need to be removed will be clearly marked on the iPhone skin or with the directions included with the skin.
- Peel off the protective film from the iPhone skin. Before applying or changing an iPhone skin, you must first remove the protective film from the skin. Start at one corner, holding the skin face down on a flat surface. Peel the protective backing from the iPhone skin up and away.
- Apply the iPhone skin to the phone. Affix each piece of the skin to the proper area of the iPhone. Start at one side with each piece, smoothing the skin while pressing to remove any bubbles.
- Peel away the second layer of protective film. This layer is over the colored or designed side of the iPhone skin to protect the design during shipping and application.
- Remove the skin when desired to change the iPhone skin. Peel the skin away from the iPhone and store in a safe place. Repeat the steps to apply a new iPhone skin.
- Be sure to select and purchase the correct iPhone skin for your specific iPhone model. Each of the iPhone versions differ slightly in size with specific skins available for the iPhone 4 for AT&T, the iPhone 4 for Verizon Wireless, the iPhone 3G and 3GS, and the original iPhone.
- Take care when removing an existing skin as they can be removed and reused if desired.

He's driving in a black Pontiac Bonneville bumpin' 3 6 Mafia.
Not literally, but a metaphor representing that he's on that old school shit.
However, it could be literal. Since Wiz drove and owned a black Bonneville (In fact it was the first car he ever owned).
He also stated that he listened and was a big fan to 3-6 Mafia in his younger years and still is.

UNH ranks high in college arrest statistics
School officials view ranking as a sign of strong policy enforcement
It's more than just a simple numbers game when trying to figure out the validity of UNH's party school reputation.
A recently published report on Rehabs.com named the colleges and universities in the United States that hold the highest drug and alcohol arrests based on data collected from 2009 to 2011. In the report, UNH was ranked 37 out of 50 for most on-campus drug arrests per 1,000 students and 20 out of 50 for most on-campus alcohol arrests per 1,000 students. In all, the university was ranked eight out of 20 for drug and alcohol arrests per 1,000 students.
When looking at UNH's arrest statistics from the last three years on the UNH Police Department's website, it is clear that these arrests make up a majority of the criminal activity on campus, providing some evidence for the findings.
The UNH Police Department, which posts the crime statistics for the past three years on its website, recorded that between 2010 and 2012, 717 students were arrested on campus for violating liquor laws and 294 were arrested on campus for drug possession.
These numbers, which do not include the drug and alcohol violations referred for disciplinary action during those years, are significantly higher than the other categories shown on the website. For example, during those years, only 18 individuals were charged with aggravated assault on campus.
But all of these statistics raise another question: is it simply a matter of geography? New Hampshire has, in the past, had it's own reputation of having some of the highest drug use and alcohol consumption rates in the country.
A look at the national statistics for the region only further explains these numbers. In its 2010 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration showed that in the New England Area alone, 56 percent of those who answered the survey reported using illicit drugs in their lifetime, with 17.6 percent saying that they had in the past year and 11.4 percent in the past month. These numbers were higher than the national averages, which were 49.6 percent, 14.9 percent and 8.8 percent, respectively.
And when it comes to drinking, the results were about the same. The 2010 SAMHSA report found that in New England, 92 percent said that they had consumed alcohol in their lifetime, with 78.3 percent saying they had in the past year and 67.8 saying they had in the past month. The national averages for these statistics were 87.5 percent, 70.4 percent, and 55.9 percent for the three categories.
And when compared to other schools in the New England area, UNH seemed to fair slightly better than some in terms of on campus drug arrests. Keene State College, for example, was number 20 out of 50 for most on-campus drug arrests per 1,000 students; the University of Connecticut was number 28 out of 50.
And when it came to drinking, UNH was one of three closely ranked New England schools in the top 50. Bridgewater State University and UMass-Amherst, both in Massachusetts, made 26 and 29 on the list. The University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh was the first in the category.
So with all these numbers, what does this mean about the overall culture of our campus? When asked, the authorities, the administrators and the students saw the report as only a small piece of the puzzle and not a serious threat.
For Paul Dean, UNH's executive director of public safety, he saw the results as a sign of stability rather than a sign of increased alcohol and narcotic abuse on campus.
"Arrest data is not the complete picture of any community's struggles with alcohol and other drugs," he said. "Relatively speaking, arrest data stays consistent. There is the occasional spike based on specific events."
For Mark Rubinstein, the vice president of student and academic services, the results were less than shocking but he does not see them as a blow against the university. Instead, they act more as a representation of how well "the underlying causes of the behavior" are being addressed in order to maintain campus safety. He holds an optimistic outlook, believing the numbers reflect a minority of students rather than the masses.
"They are accurate reports of the frequency of arrests that are made, but they do not define UNH students or this community," he sad. "Our students do a lot of good work, academically and as members and citizens of this community."
Anne Lawing, dean of students, only echoed these ideas.
"Are we serious about enforcing laws and policies? Yes we are," Lawing said. "And just as serious about education and information [to prevent these behaviors]."
And for the student body, the reactions are similar; many believe that the way some students behave does not define the student body as a whole.
"Obviously a lot of it is going on during the weekend of when we have events," Lauren Husson, a junior communications major, said. "But it's going to happen ay any school, I don't think we are more extreme than any of them."
And it is these reactions that Jon Millward, who conducted the study, hoped for, saying that this is really only a preliminary look at the university's culture since the data that he was looking at did not include the influences of different policies and standards that could have inflated the results.
"It would be easy to draw conclusion for this, but it really could just be a handful of people," he said. "The results have to be interpreted carefully one a case by case analysis."
In the end, it seems the results are only the beginning of a much larger conversation about the strength of UNH rather than it's downfalls.

Asian Games champion Joseph Abraham came agonisingly close to the Olympic qualification standard while winning the 400m hurdles in the Federation Cup athletics championships, at the NIS Complex, here on Monday.
Abraham timed 49.98s, just outside the Olympic standard of 49.80s, but the timing held out hope that he could achieve the norm in the next couple of months, if not weeks.
It was only his 10th best career mark, but his best since the Guangzhou Asian Games where he timed 49.96s.
His National record stands at 49.51s since 2007. Behind him, Avin Thomas (51.25) and Jithin Paul (51.33), who had beaten Abraham in the Indian Grand Prix meet, were engaged in a furious tussle for the silver along with Satinder Singh (51.38), though the eventual timings proved disappointing.
Abraham said he could have timed better had he not been slower than normal up to the first hurdle and then a little sluggish after the final hurdle.
Khushbir Kaur of Punjab set a National record of 1:37:28 in the women's 20km walk. The 18-year-old walker bettered L. Deepmala Devi's 2010 record of 1:37:44 on her way to clinching the top place, nearly seven minutes ahead of the second-placed athlete.
If one were to exclude her timing of 1:37:46 clocked during the trials for the Asian championships in Nomi City, Japan, last month, this was more than seven minutes better than her best competition time returned for her fifth-place finish at the Asians.
She had timed 1:44:30 in the Japanese city.
NMR for Irfan
The men's 20km racewalk also produced a string of excellent timings, with Kerala's Irfan K.T. winning in a new meet record time of 1:22:14. The top six finishers clocked better than the meet record.
The listed meet record of Gurmeet Singh (1:31:18.46) happens to be one set on track.
Incidentally, Irfan, who had a previous personal best of 1:28:09, timed at the last National Games, was under the 'A's standard for the Olympics (1:22:30), but being a non-designated event this will not count. In the women's event, the 'B' standard is 1:38.
Personal bests
Javelin throw and hammer throw produced personal bests for a few. Rohit Kumar, 18, the Asian youth champion in 2009, threw the javelin to a personal best of 76.73m against his previous best of 75.03m. The Olympic standard is 79.50m.
National record holder Anil Singh, who had undergone a doping suspension, threw his best in three years (74.78m), to claim the bronze.
In hammer, Chandrodaya Narain Singh (67.78m) and Harvinder Singh (67.01) crossed their personal bests of 65.46m and 66.79m respectively. The Olympic norm is 74.00m.
The results:
Men: 3000m steeplechase: 1. Jaiveer Singh (Har) 8:49.01, 2. Th. Sanjit Luwang (Man) 8:50.93, 3. Sunil Kumar (Har) 8:52.88.

Javelin: 1. Rohit Kumar (ONGC) 76.73m, 2. Rajender Singh (Har) 76.12, 3. Anil Kumar Singh (Del) 74.48; 4x100m relay: 1. Tamil Nadu 41.49s, 2. Air Force 41.77, 3. Uttar Pradesh 42.13.
20km walk: 1. Irfan K.T. (Ker) 1:22:14 (NMR, previous 1:31:18.46T), 2. Surender Singh (Pun) 1:22:37, 3. Maniram Patel (MP) 1:22:40.
Women: 3000m steeplechase: 1. Geeta Rai (UP) 11:32.46, 2. Chinta Yadav (UP) 12:09.08, 3. Vibha Yadav (UP) 13:17.34.
400m hurdles: 1. Bhupinder Kaur (Pun) 1:01.27, 2. Raji C.T. (Ker) 1:01.67, 3. Anju Rani (NGC) 1:01.99; 4x100m relay: 1. Bengal 47.89s, 2. Kerala 48.75, 3. Delhi 49.41.
20km walk: 1. Khushbir Kaur (ONGC) 1:37:28 (NR, previous 1:37:44), 2. Anitha Mahala (Kar) 1:44:19, 3. Ranjana Gupta (MP) 1:45:06.

The consistently low percentage of Saskatoon residents who do not know how much of their property tax pays for civic services concerns a city councillor.
Coun. Tiffany Paulsen raised the issue in response to the City of Saskatoon's annual civic services survey, which showed less than one-fifth (15 per cent in the online survey, 16 per cent in the telephone survey) of residents are able to identify what proportion of property tax goes to the city.
About 52 per cent of property tax goes to the city, while the remaining portion pays for the school board and library budgets.
"People are less and less satisfied with the value they are receiving for civic services," Paulsen told Wednesday's executive committee meeting.
The survey shows people's perception of the value of civic services has declined from 87 per cent in 2010 among phone respondents to 79 per cent in 2014, which matches the lowest level in the surveys' 14-year history in 2001. Among online respondents, the same perception has always been lower than 70 per cent, but rebounded to 60 per cent in 2014 from a low of 56 per cent in 2013.
Catherine Gryba, the city's general manager of corporate performance, said Saskatoon is not alone in struggling to let residents know about the work the city is accomplishing.
"This is a question that has plagued municipalities across Canada," she told Wednesday's meeting.
Coun. Randy Donauer said city hall needs to do a better job of communicating with residents and the city relies too heavily on media releases.
He said many residents remain unaware of the good work done by the city.
"Whether we use Twitter or not, we have to communicate in a Twitter-size world," Donauer said. "Most people don't care about civic issues until they're upset about something."
Coun. Charlie Clark said city administration is improving communication with residents on matters like road repair work, but that civic administrators and politicians still need to "refine the way that we talk to people."
Despite 86 per cent of poll respondents who rate their quality of life in Saskatoon as good or very good, Clark said the city should aim for higher than 90 per cent.
Coun. Darren Hill said a question in the survey on whether residents would be willing to pay $8 more per month to have snow removed from their street after it has been plowed was "misleading," suggesting the city might apply a flat rate for the service rather than cover it with an increase in property tax.
The survey was conducted by Insightrix Research from May 20 to June 3 with 500 telephone surveys completed and 801 online surveys. The margin of error for the telephone survey is 4.4 per cent 19 times out of 20. There is no margin of error for the online survey since it is self-selecting.

I am suffering, for the second straight year, from playoffs-induced writer's block. It seems to be something that grips a fairly large percentage of the Hardwood Paroxysm writers. It got to the point last season that Matt Moore upbraided us on the blog's daily email thread, saying he couldn't decide whether he was disappointed that we couldn't find more to say about all the storylines going on or proud that we generally write about such weirdo backwaters of the NBA that we were flummoxed by the postseason and all the general media attention lavished on it.
I'd like to think it's the latter. Much as it is for teams, the regular season is a nearly bottomless place for writers, where so many things happen that many fly by unnoticed. If one team has another team's number on a given night, the tables could just as easily be reversed a month down the line. It's how the Wolves can lose to the Spurs 104-94 in early February and then turn around and hang 107 on San Antonio while giving up 83 a month later.
But in the playoffs, the character of the games changes dramatically, and not just in intensity. Weird things happen in a seven-game series. Ask the 2007 Dallas Mavericks about it. Their 67-15 season and #1 seed in the West ended with a 4-2 first round defeat at the hands of the 42-40 Warriors. Were they exposed, or just victims of chance?
Or ask a player like Jerome James. After averaging 4.3 points and 3.1 rebounds per game for his whole career, he played 11 postseason games for the Sonics in 2005 where he averaged 12.5 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. The Knicks promptly signed him to a 6 year, $30 million deal. In 2008 he played five minutes of basketball and made $5.8 million.
Or consider Nate Robinson in this year's playoffs, where he went from sparkplug to starter. Last year he was on the Warriors. The year before that, he was an add-on in the deal that sent Kendrick Perkins from the Celtics to the Thunder to add size to the team. Chances are they weren't after Nate. That was his second mid-season trade in a row, having been moved from the Knicks to the Celtics the year before.
But this postseason he averaged 16.3 points and 4.4 assists per game while posting a PER of 15.8 for a Bulls team no one expected much out of without Derrick Rose. Having spent a good twenty minutes in a Chicago Bulls locker room while Nate held court and clowned, I know that in addition to knowing his team was depending on him, he knew his own personal price tag was going up with that tremendous display of grit and determination.
There's a reason that some people only watch the playoffs. It's some of the same reason that people say it's only the last five minutes of a basketball game that matter. Storylines crystallize, outcomes hinge on a few crisp passes or one blown defensive assignment. It can feel for all the world like we're seeing the real basketball at those moments, the best basketball.
But are we?
This year's New York Knicks thrived in the regular season on a combination of relentless 3-point shooting (taking a league-leading 2,371 3-point shots and making them at a rate of 37.6%, good for fourth in the league) and small ball principles driven by Carmelo Anthony's move to the power forward position. But in the playoffs, when the chips were down against the Pacers' considerable length and defensive acumen, Mike Woodson went away from what had worked so well. He moved Anthony back to the small forward position and filled the paint with traditional bigs. This meant less driving room for J.R. Smith, who regressed to his worst shooting habits, and a sky-high usage rate of 37.7% for Anthony. They bowed out in the second round.
Were the Knicks we saw against the Pacers the true Knicks in some sense? They certainly weren't the best Knicks, but then again, "true" and "best" don't necessarily go hand-in-hand, much as we wish they would.
Of course, if you've been following the leading lights of the daily basketball writing world—people like Zach Lowe at Grantland, Dan Devine and Kelly Dwyer at Ball Don't Lie, Rob Mahoney and Ben Golliver at Sports Illustrated, Zach Harper and our founding father Matt Moore at CBS' Eye on Sports, or Henry Abbott and the other great minds at TrueHoop, just to name a few—you already know about the Knicks' devolution. You already know about Scott Brooks' failure to adapt or innovate in the wake of Russell Westbrook's injury. You already know how the Spurs frustrated and stymied Zach Randolph in the opening game of the Western Conference Finals. I mean, jeez: I just found out from Kelly Dwyer how the Memphis Grizzlies have a historically large number of left-handed players.
Trying to pull a good, overlooked angle out of the playoffs is a lot like being a good rebounder who's 5'10" in a pickup game when a bunch of 6'4" guys show up to play. I know this because that's exactly the guy I am. Rebounding goes from a matter of effort and determination to simply being physically impossible. As the number of teams gets cut in half, then in half again, then again, as the number of games on any given night goes from six to four to three to two to one, fewer and fewer things slip between the cracks of the hardwood.
But I love the cracks in the hardwood. Baseball diamonds don't have cracks; football fields don't have cracks. Whenever I watch those sports, I'm struck by how moments of play are always followed by moments of repose, by time to reset and prepare again. Basketball has those moments as well, but it also has a way of relentlessly piling things on top of each other, of collaging players and playsets and stats and patterns and then leaving it to all of us to pick apart and make sense of.
At least, it does in the regular season. As a fan, I love the playoffs. I love the wanton ridiculousness of them and the epic breakdowns and heroic comebacks and the way a series of games becomes a chess match of adjustments, an illustration of the way humans adapt and learn.
But as a writer, I might just love the regular season more, where the games stretch off into the distance. Where I can tell my wife the season is almost over—just 15 games left—and have her tell me, "That seems like a lot of games." Where you can excavate meaning from meaninglessness, where some stats are valuable and other aren't, where some storylines are short and others long. Where some things that seem very important for a few games can end up not being very important at all. Where the last week of the season for a lottery-bound team becomes an existential crisis. When it comes to the playoffs, I miss the inattentiveness, the corpulence, the slog, the torpor of the regular season.
The Conference Finals are upon us. The intensity is ramping up. It's win or go home and that's the reason everyone is watching this, the final five minutes of the NBA season. This is, after all, where amazing happens. I guess I just like when amazing plays hard-to-get.
Well, there's always next year.

text: Monica was a ghetto girl who went to charm school, either real or self-induced, but whatever the case, it worked. She was always poised, her shoulders back. Her nails were done, her clothes on point, her hair in tact. She knew just how, when and where to say all the right things. And it was her life long dream to snag an established, rich man to call her on. After several years of ups and downs - William falling in and out of love, and then back in love with her again - she finally got the man to marry her.

"Lightning Fall" – Review
Posted by Jay Manifold on 20th April 2014 (All posts by Jay Manifold)
While this will not be a uniformly positive review, I must immediately note that the purely literary quality of Bill Quick's Lightning Fall (subtitled either "A Novel of Destruction" or "A Novel of Disaster," depending on whether one is looking at the spine or the cover of the paperback edition) ranks it alongside Pat Frank's Alas, Babylon and comes within metaphorical striking distance of Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle's Lucifer's Hammer. It is a classic page-turner and a serious threat to a good night's sleep; I began reading it after awakening shortly before 3:00 AM one morning, expecting to drift off in a few minutes, and eventually noticed that I was somewhere around page 250 and the time was after 6:00 AM. This sort of thing has not happened to me more than a handful of times in a half-century of reading, and I read a lot.
Other reviews have included – well, not exactly spoilers, but more specifics about the events in the novel than I intend to provide here. I will mention three things that I think it useful for prospective readers to know, and then use the general thrust of the novel as a springboard for extended commentary of my own.

Single Payments Area: How Does That Affect My Business?
IESE Blog | Finance | November 26, 2014 | Jorge Soley
Europe's progressive banking integration is directly benefiting companies in ways that may not have attracted their attention, but are certainly useful if they figure out how to use them. In this respect, the creation of the "Single European Payments Area" (SEPA) is designed to prevent any possible differences between the banking committees involving forms of payment, whether domestic or cross-border. This legislation from October directly benefits companies in four ways…

Fracking Unmasked: the Real Effect on U.S. GDP
Economics Blog | November 18, 2014 | Eduardo Martínez Abascal
In past articles I have commented on the economic growth of the United States and the languishing European economy. Bottom line, in the United States measures have been taken since 2008, while Europe has mostly sat there twiddling its thumbs. Nevertheless, some experts remain skeptical, asking: Is the United States really growing because of its improved economy or the contribution of fracking to its GDP?
CSR: The Company is in Need of Revolution
Business Ethics Blog | November 14, 2013 | Joan Fontrodona
It is still the dominant model, but we have to do away with it: The company can't last as an organization whose ultimate goal is financial profit. Dozens of examples demonstrate that the model is wanting, outdate, needs to change.
The two economic crises early this century and the emergence of new heights of social awareness further stress, if that's possible, that the concept of the company as exclusively focused on bringing economic value to its shareholders has expired.

November 24, 2014
KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) - Security camera video shows Kenyan soldiers looting a store during the attack by extremists last month on Nairobi's Westgate mall.
In the video seen by The Associated Press Sunday, men in fatigues pick items from behind counters. Others are seen walking out of a store inside the mall holding plastic bags heavy with unknown items.
Kenya's security forces have previously denied any wrongdoing. Soon after the attack began on Sept. 21, Kenyan officials put a security cordon around the mall, allowing only security forces and a few government personnel to pass through. When the siege was over, some who owned shops inside the mall complained of looting.
Scores of people were killed in the four-day siege claimed by the Somali terrorist group al-Shabab.

Would you be willing to answer a few brief questions about PlayStation Forums?
Can you place items in your home? And by place, I mean not drop the item and hope it lands where you want it.
I know you can put stuff in a chest or dresser, or in a bookcase or weapon rack. But, for example, can I stack my ingots nicely in the corner. Or display the shields from guards I have killed.
Just hold x on an item til your character "picks it up" then use the sticks to manually place it wherever you want; and press x again to release.
I've already organized my house this way, including putting all my goblets in the kitchen shelving, and all the wine and mead on seperate tables. I've also put my extra weapons on top of the shelves or in the corners of the armory room in Windhelm when i'm out of space. It's awesome.
