The Value of Bike Sharing: Looking Beyond Carbon Emissions
While the sharing economy fan base continues to expand, questions rise about the true economic and social impacts of sharing.
Interestingly, one part that is still missing from these discussions (well, not entirely) is the environmental impacts of the sharing economy. The general notion is that the sharing economy has a positive environmental impact as it promotes a greater use of underutilized assets. But is this true?
This answer no doubt is complicated. There are even doubts about the environmental impacts of first appears to be one of the greener parts of the sharing economy – bike sharing.
As Bobby Magill reported recently on Climate Central, while we know for sure that nobody has ever died on a bike-share bike, we can't really be sure what impact bike sharing has on climate change.
4 Lessons from Burger King's Decision to Stop Serving Low-Calorie Fries
Last week Burger King had some news for us: The fast food chain announced it will stop serving Satisfries, its lower-calorie french fries, at most restaurants.
The reason? Apparently, most customers didn't like this low-calorie option. "More than 100 million customers had tried the fries, but that sales were too weak to continue offering the item throughout its United States stores," the company told the New York Times.
But this wasn't the only fry news Burger King had last week – one day before it waved goodbye to Satisfries, the company announced on the return of "the great-tasting Chicken Fries"!
The reason? Again, it was all about the customers. "Sparked by an overwhelming number of enthusiastic tweets, Change.org petitions, dedicated Tumblr and Facebook pages, and phone calls from devoted fans, these voices are the reason this cult favorite menu item is back.," the company reported.
So, in most of Burger King restaurants, customers will keep enjoying the same number of options after these changes, only instead of one with 270 calories, 11 grams of fat and 300 milligrams of sodium (aka Satisfries), they will have one with 290 calories, 17 grams of fat and 780 milligrams of sodium (aka Chicken Fries).
However, there's more to this story than just calorie, fat and sodium accounting. Here are four lessons we can learn from last week's news:
Want Better Stock Returns? Invest in Employee Satisfaction
How much is a happy employee really worth? I bet many companies still ask themselves this question, wondering what the real value of employee satisfaction is.
Fortunately, academic researchers are here to help with a new study looking at the relationship between employee satisfaction and stock returns, using lists of the "Best Companies to Work For" in 14 countries as their database. In addition, the researchers investigated how this relationship depends on the country's level of labor market flexibility.
And the results? The researchers, Alex Edmans of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and Chendi Zhang and Lucius Li of Warwick Business School in the U.K., found out that "employee satisfaction is associated with positive abnormal returns in countries with high labor market flexibility, such as the U.S. and U.K., but not in countries with low labor market flexibility, such as Germany."
In other words, greater employee satisfaction contributes to higher stock returns, at least in labor markets that are more flexible. The difference between the two different types of labor markets, the researchers suggest, may be due to several reasons: First, when firing is easier, employees tend to value more satisfactory jobs. Second, in low flexibility labor markets, regulations usually guarantee minimum standards for worker welfare, and hence employees are less likely to value the marginal benefit of whatever additional perks they enjoy at work.
Should we be surprised by these findings?
Biomimicry Lessons for Business
How do we create a better future? How do we redesign our economic system to be more sustainable?
Exploring these and similar questions, a growing number of people look for inspiration from the greatest lab of all: Nature. This type of exploration already has a name (biomimicry), definition ("an innovation method that seeks sustainable solutions by emulating nature's time-tested patterns and strategies") and even an inspiring visionary leading the way (Janine Benyus).
It also has a growing number of followers, as I could see last week at an event titled "Biomimicry + the Regenerative Economy." Organized by BiomimicryNYC, a network dedicated to fostering a community of nature-inspired practice in the New York City metro region, it took place at Impact Hub NYC with more than 100 attendees who came to learn more about aligning business with nature from two experts in this field: Amy Larkin and Katherine Collins.
I was curious to hear what Larkin and Collins had in mind when it comes to applying biomimicry to business and economy, because currently we have too many questions and perhaps too few propositions. My hope is that nature can help balance this out, but I'm still not sure how. Hence I was hoping to gain some insights at this event.
More Millennials Are Living With Their Parents: Is It Hurting the Economy?
A growing number of millennials are living with their parents. This is one of the findings of a Pew survey on Americans living in multi-generational family households.
According to the survey, young adults ages 25 to 34 (aka millennials) "have been a major component of the growth in the population living with multiple generations since 1980 — and especially since 2010. By 2012, roughly one-in-four of these young adults (23.6 percent) lived in multi-generational households, up from 18.7 percent in 2007 and 11 percent in 1980."
It's not necessarily that millennials love their parents nowadays more than ever and have hard time leaving the house. Apparently, there are number of reasons for this phenomenon, including millennials' delayed entry to adulthood, but also, and probably mainly, economic reasons.
According to a State of the Nation's Housing report released last month by the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University "tight credit, high unemployment and record levels of student loan debt are moderating growth and keeping young people and other first-time homebuyers out of the market."
So, this is good news, right? Millennials seem to adopt a more responsible economic behavior, avoiding the same reckless financial decisions that got so many people in trouble only a few years ago. And besides, aren't multi-generational households more sustainable? After all, they use resources more efficiently, serve as an economic safety net and may even help family relationships.
Is Uber Exploitative? And What Does It Say About the Sharing Economy?
Sometimes it looks like Uber has become the world's favorite punching bag, from taxi drivers across Europe complaining that Uber is "not playing by the rules" to American customers annoyed with the company's surge pricing tactics.
One of the latest punches came from Andrew Leonard, a staff writer at Salon, who compared Uber to John D. Rockefeller.
Why? Leonard didn't like the fact that Uber significantly reduced the prices of UberX rides in New York and other cities, making them cheaper now than taxi rides. He suggested that Uber's deep pockets (it just raised $1.2 billion) could enable the company to lose money on every ride, claiming this is an "anti-competitive market behavior."
And the connection to Rockefeller? "The founder of Standard Oil built his monopoly by exploiting size to leverage discounted access to railroad transport. Such economies supported price cuts his competitors couldn't match," Leonard writes. He's afraid that we're about to witness a somewhat similar scenario in the taxi industry, where Uber will use its funds to drive taxis out of business, and then will increase prices, making its investors rich at the expense of the public.
Leonard, as well as others sharing similar concerns, questions the legitimacy or fairness of Uber's business tactics, especially given the fact that it operates in many places within a "grey area" of the law. Yet, behind these arguments lie even more fundamental questions: Is Uber still considered part of the sharing economy? Is it exploitative? And if you answer 'yes' to both questions, what does it say about the sharing economy?
Let's try to look at these questions one by one.
Is Walgreens a Sustainable Company Given Its New Tax Avoidance Strategy?
I consider myself a regular customer at Walgreens — I shop there at least once or twice a week. For some reason I thought I knew the company quite well, at least when it comes to sustainability issues, but this week I've learned a new fact that I wasn't aware of:
Walgreens is considering a move abroad to lower its tax rate.
As Andrew Ross Sorkin reported in the New York Times, Walgreens "is now considering moving the company's headquarters to Switzerland as part of a merger with Alliance Boots, a European drugstore chain. Why? To lower Walgreen's tax bill even further."
According to Americans for Tax Fairness, Sorkin adds, "a move by Walgreen to Switzerland would most likely cost United States taxpayers about $4 billion over five years."
So what does it mean exactly, and what should Walgreens customers like me do about it? Here are five things to think about:
Report Shows the Benefits of Cradle to Cradle Certification, But Is It Enough?
When "Cradle to Cradle" was published in 2002, it generated great hopes that it could lead to a more sustainable future. The launch of the C2C certification by the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute provided companies with a clear framework on how to adopt the concept, making a paradigm shift seem even more likely.
Yet, even with more than 200 companies worldwide participating today in the C2C Certified Products Program, and with hundreds of product lines representing thousands of different products certified, C2C is still a niche market with little influence on the overall economy.
And so, almost a decade after C2C certifications became available, it's still very much a promise that hasn't been fulfilled.
Why? I assume there are many reasons, but the main one seems to be that most companies just don't recognize the value in adopting the C2C certification. In order to address this issue, the C2C Products Innovation Institute commissioned Trucost, a leading global environmental data and insight company, "to develop an assessment framework with clearly defined indicators to determine the effect of optimization on the business, environmental and social impact of products."
The result is a 145-page report in which Trucost presents its analysis of 10 C2C-certified products from different companies (and industries), including Aveda, Desso, Ecover, PUMA, Shaw Industries, Steelcase and Van Houtum.
Why Tim Cook's Leadership Won't Lead Apple to the Next Phase of CSR
Three years after taking over the leadership of Apple, Tim Cook is still struggling to make his own mark in the company. A profile article in the New York Times published last week described the challenges Cook faces while trying to lead a company, living in the shadow of Steve Jobs and "making Apple his own."
According to the article, there are still many people — including some of Apple's shareholders — wondering if Cook can fill Jobs' shoes and maintain the company's position as an innovation powerhouse and the most valuable company in the world.
One issue where Jobs' shoes aren't too big to fill is corporate social responsibility (CSR): In his day, Apple was famous for its reactive CSR strategy, low level of transparency, little commitment to stakeholder engagement and a generally dated approach to what responsibility in business means.
Cook — who had to address some of the issues that were the result of Jobs' approach, such as the working conditions at Foxconn — seems to be more open-minded about CSR, promoting an agenda focusing on climate change, human rights and philanthropy.
The interesting question is whether this is enough to build Cook's own legacy and make Apple not just his own, but also more sustainable? I believe the answer is no. And the reason is not what is in his agenda, but what is missing from it.
Finding a Narrative: 'Sustainability' Doesn't Mean Anything Real to Consumers
Last week at the Sustainable Brands conference in San Diego, gDiapers CEO, Jason Graham-Nye said: "I think sustainability is like fight club. The first rule of fight club is don't talk about fight club. The first rule of sustainability is the word is so dead."
And he's not alone. In one of the conference events, Raphael Bemporad — co-founder and chief strategy officer at BBMG and Tensie Whelan, president of Rainforest Alliance — presented a new report entitled The New Sustainably Narrative, which tries to address the following problem:
"Sustainability doesn't mean anything real to consumers. Too often, it brings to mind technical issues or seemingly insurmountable environmental challenges."
I guess this problem statement shouldn't be surprising news to anyone involved in or following the many efforts to engage consumers in sustainability. The issue it raises has long become the Achilles' heel of the sustainability movement, making companies wonder what on earth can be done to get consumers on board.
So, what can be done to change the status quo when it comes to consumers with or without using the 'S' word?
Is it Time to Stop Calling Uber a Disruptive Innovation?
If I ask you to describe Uber — the ride-sharing service — in one word, what would it be? Probably words like app, better, convenience, surge pricing, luxury, service, sharing, fun, cashless and future would come up.
My guess however is that the most popular word would be 'disruptive.' Why? Just look at the headlines of articles focusing on Uber: "Invasion of the Taxi Snatchers: Uber Leads an Industry's Disruption," "Airbnb, Coursera, and Uber: The Rise of the Disruption Economy," "Disruptions: Ride-Sharing Upstarts Challenge Taxi Industry," are just some of the many examples you can find online with the combination Uber + disruption.
But what does it actually mean? In most cases describing Uber as disruptive or a disruptive innovation refers to the notion that the company brought a fundamental change, not just small-scale modifications, to the taxi market — reinventing in a way the whole taxi experience.
Now, while obviously Uber seems to meet the definition of disruptive innovation as most people understand this concept, it would be interesting to see if Uber actually meets the criteria for disruptive innovation defined by the person who actually coined and popularized the term – Prof. Clayton M. Christensen.
Can Shared Value Successfully Connect 'Davos Men' with the 'Square People'?
Earlier this month Thomas Friedman wrote on the New York Times about two very different groups trying to shape the economic environment worldwide.
The first was "Davos men"–the "transnational, cosmopolitan elite drawn from high-tech, finance, multinationals, academics and NGOs," who regularly attend the Davos World Economic Forum.
The second group was the "square people"–according to Friedman, it includes mostly young people, who are aspiring to a higher standard of living and more liberty, seeking either reform or revolution in their country (depending on their existing government) and "demanding a new social contract."
On the same day the article was published, describing the differences between the two groups, the Shared Value Leadership Summit was convened in New York. This was an interesting coincidence, as the premise of the summit was that shared value has the power to reinvent capitalism as we know it and become the bridge connecting "Davos men" and the "square people."
This premise came from the speakers at the summit, many of whom are no strangers to Davos, who explained why it makes so much sense to address societal needs and challenges (of the kind that gets "square people" into the squares) with a profit-driven business model.
How to Get Consumers to Walk the Sustainability Talk When it Comes to Fashion
Marshall McLuhan famously said: "There are no passengers on spaceship Earth. We are all crew." While it can be applied to every sustainable challenge, this notion is clearly reflected in business efforts to be socially responsible when it comes to the role of consumers.
The idea was and still is that companies' increasing efforts to make their value chain more sustainable need to be complemented by a growing consumer consciousness about sustainability that will translate to a greater support of companies that move away from 'business as usual.' In other words: Companies can't do it alone. They need consumers on board.
Now, if you look at studies exploring consumer attitudes, you find that consumers indeed seem to be more conscious about sustainability and are more willing to incorporate it into their decision-making process.
For example, according to a 2013 Cone Communications study, 87 percent of consumers consider a company's social and environmental commitment before deciding what to buy or where to shop. Another study conducted by Nielsen found that 50 percent of global consumers surveyed are willing to pay more for goods and services from companies "that have implemented programs to give back to society."
Yet, when it comes to actual behavior, (almost) all of these good intentions disappear somehow, and sustainability or corporate responsibility doesn't seem to make much of a difference for most consumers. Hence my question is: Why is it that whenever we find ourselves at the store or the supermarket we forget all the good intentions we had back home?
Is H&M Serious About Making Fashion Sustainable?
A couple of weeks ago, H&M released its 2013 sustainability report. At the beginning of the report, CEO Karl-Johan Persson wrote the following:
"At H&M, we have set ourselves the challenge of ultimately making fashion sustainable and sustainability fashionable. We want to help people express their personality and feel proud of what they wear. I'm very excited to see the progress we've made so far and how this will help us to make you an even better offer – and create a more sustainable fashion future."
You can take this statement with a grain of salt, especially after the tragedy in Bangladesh last year and given that it comes from the CEO of one of the world's largest fast fashion retailers. Still, I think it's also important to read what H&M does to make fashion sustainable. But before diving into the report, I was curious to see what Persson wrote last year, in H&M's 2012 report, which was published shortly before the Rana Plaza Factory collapse in Bangladesh. Here's what I found there:
"At H&M, we think of sustainability as a word of action. It's an ongoing journey full of heart, drive and passion with sincere direction, constantly pushing the boundaries. We take a long-term view of our business. Looking beyond short-term profits and investing in sustainability makes good business sense – and is quite simply the right thing to do." – Karl-Johan Persson, CEO
Can Fast Fashion Really be Sustainable?
Last Thursday marked the one-year anniversary of Bangladesh's tragic Rana Plaza factory collapse, where 1,129 garment workers were killed.
"If a positive can be found, it's that Rana Plaza has been a turning point — the 21st Century equivalent of New York's 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire, which killed 146 but led to a unionized, safe garment industry," Dolly Jones wrote on Vogue earlier this month.
This tragedy resulted indeed in significant steps taken by individual companies and European and American coalitions, aiming to improve the safety of the garment workers in Bangladesh and ensure clothing supply chains are more ethical and transparent.
Still, even with all of these efforts to build what H&M describes as "sustainable fashion future," one question is still hanging out there: Can fast fashion really be sustainable?

Boston Celtics ticket prices rising on secondary market
- Updated: August 28, 2014
Diehards die hard.
As you might know, tickets for Celtics games have gone on sale. As I'm sure you know, there's a secondary ticket market where resellers buy and sell tickets for a profit. The rates go up and down according to supply and demand (and other magical forces I don't fully understand). You'd think that tickets for a rebuilding team coming off a 25 win year would be fairly cheap this year. But you'd be incorrect according to Forbes.
After Rebuilding Season, Celtics Tickets Up 204% On Secondary Market
While Celtics tickets aren't the most expensive in the league this year, they are significantly more expensive than they were last season. Last year the ticket average was just $59.08, and only four games had an average over $100. This season the average price is $179.56, a 204% increase from last season.
Even if the Celtics aren't a serious championship contender, there will still be plenty of expensive games on the Celtics schedule at the TD Garden. On the secondary market, Celtics vs Cleveland Cavaliers tickets for both games in Boston have an average price above $300. There are also nine other games with an average price above $200, a season after only four games averaged over $100. Those games include playoff teams like the Oklahoma City Thunder, Chicago Bulls and Brooklyn Nets, but they also include games against lottery teams like the Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks.
Green runs deep apparently. And you better save up your green to get to the games.

Aircel-Maxis deal n 'Process of attaching properties in next two-three weeks'.
The Delhi court has sought the response on October 7.
For contravention of any provision or regulation under FEMA, the maximum penalty is three times the money involved.
The meeting was held to find out areas where we can co-operate with each other.
ED takes action under PMLA in suitable cases including the cases based on predicate offences relating to financing terrorism.
Genesis of the controversy was in engaging AM Films and Cars Ltd when the contract was originally given to another firm at one-third the price by JMW.
Ghosh had on many occasions accused the ruling Trinamool Congress of trying to save those involved in the scam.
The senior IRS officer, who was jailed in 2008, is presently posted as joint commissioner.
The ministers and MPs of the ruling party were allegedly involved with Angel Agritech.
CBI officials said they will first examine allegations of bribery during the PE as they are yet to find any "direct evidence".
This is the second such action by the central agency in this case.
The court issued the directive on the complaint of the ED which had seized the flat.
ED has already attached properties worth Rs 1,075 crore in the case.
Some computer hardware have also been seized by the agency after searches were conducted in the premises of the Saradha group.
The EOW has already shared information related to the NSEL probe with the ED.

Put Borrowers on Notice
On June 1, former Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz became the next head of the World Bank. His mission: to end global poverty. The trouble is, few agree on how to go about it. So Foreign Policy asked five of the world's leading development experts to offer Wolfowitz some free advice on getting the job done.
Around the world, there is broad consensus that poverty alleviation should be the banks principal goal. However, under pressure from critics, the bank has decided its mission is to directly lend money for projects in poverty-stricken regions. Regrettably, the bank eschewed the very issue that developing countries are forced to confront: comparative advantage and the fungibility of public expenditures.
The developing world would be better served if the bank linked its overall volume of lendingsubject to broad, prespecified criteriato spending on critical institutions, such as basic education, basic health, and nondiscriminatory legal frameworks. In this way, the bank would fund the very things that drive growth, be it infrastructure or higher education.
Such a shift is essential for a couple reasons. Virtually all aspects of human development, including basic education and healthcare, are neither capital nor foreign exchange intensive. Unless the funds are grants, it makes little sense to add to borrowers debt burdens. Second, the crowding out of infrastructure can prove to be very expensive to the poor in the long run, especially because it removes an important check on corruption, which invariably hurts the poor. It also puts borrowers on notice. If a country is unwilling to act vigorously on issues such as primary education or healthcare, that country is clearly uninterested in development and deserves little support from the bank.
The only way the banks borrowers will take true ownership is if they choose projects based on their priorities and design them on their own conditions. Of course, this means they will make mistakessometimes expensive ones. But that is precisely how developing countries will learn and grow. Such a system would put a smaller administrative burden on the bank and result in considerable savings that could underwrite other projects in the public interest, such as malaria vaccine research, that are likely to have a greater impact on global welfare.Return to Table of Contents

Verizon has announced an over-the-air software update for the DROID DNA that's going to make a few users upset. There's no reason to wonder if this latest firmware version will make it more difficult to achieve root access, for the carrier has put this little tidbit of information towards the top of the change log. The second, and perhaps most interesting, item on the list reads: Device root vulnerability issue has been resolved.
The Droid DNA was the last device of its generation before HTC shook things up with the One (M7) in 2013. Also known as the Butterfly, the DNA launched with Android 4.1 and was later updated to 4.2. Owners have been clamoring for a taste of that sweet KitKat, and now it's almost here – HTC is starting the OTA push on April 24th.
Verizon posted details surround an incoming update for the DROID DNA several months ago that would bring the device up to Android 4.2.2 and dress it up with Sense 5, but an OTA never came. Now that's changing, as Verizon has officially announced it and provided a detailed overview of changes owners can expect. The update will provide an experience similar to that on the HTC One, with features such as BlinkFeed, quick settings, and improved Sense apps making their way over to what was 2012's best DROID.
Verizon hasn't explicitly announced an Android 4.2 update for the DROID DNA, but in a way, they have. The company has updated the support page for the nearly one-year-old handset with an in-depth look at what new goodies to expect. It's quite the ugly page, so we'll save you the effort of perusing it for yourself by providing the gist right here. After this update, DROID DNA owners will have an HTC Sense 5 experience that approaches that of the HTC One.
The Droid DNA was sort of an unprecedented phone. It was the first device in the US to feature a full 1080p display – something that has since become the norm. But at the time, its 440 PPI was absolutely mind-blowing. While mobile technology has undoubtedly progressed since the DNA's release, this phone is still able to hold its own in nearly every situation.
However, if you're a DNA owner who has grown weary with Sense UI, good news: official CyanogenMod nightly builds are now available.
If Verizon's HTC One kind-of announcement just didn't do it for you because you can't stay away from the red-and-black-themed Droid line, Amazon has HTC's next best offering on the table for a solitary penny. Of course we're talking about the Droid DNA, the undeniable king of Big Red's Droid lineup for the time being.
Despite the fact that the DNA was released back in November of last year, its spec sheet is still a fairly impressive one:
- 5-inch Super LCD3 at 1920x1080 (440 PPI)
- Quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro
- 16GB built-in storage
- 8MP rear shooter, 2.1MP front camera
- 2020mAh battery
- Android 4.1.1 with Sense 4+
Sure, it doesn't have BOOMSOUND, Zoes, Ultrapixels, or other buzzwords – but c'mon, it's got its own now-famous red eye and a DROID logo, and it's only a penny.
As the weekend begins, you know deep down inside what's missing in your life. Happiness, love, and security? Nah, if that's what you were about to say, that's dead wrong. What you need is a big honkin' phone in your pocket running on Big Red's 4G LTE network. Oh, and it can't just be big – it needs to have a full HD screen too. The Droid DNA certainly fits the description, and it just so happens it can be yours for the low price of $19.99 (some restrictions apply, phone will not love you back).
The Droid DNA may not have Boomsound, Ultrapixels, or other HTC-branded buzzwords, but it's most definitely the best HTC device you'll find on Verizon right now. And if you're dead set on not paying more than a fifty spot for a new phone, the DNA is your ticket to a high-end smartphone that won't break the bank - , so long as you're willing to buy directly from HTC.
It's pretty rare that we find the manufacturer of a device selling its phones cheaper than, say, Amazon Wireless or Wirefly, but that's exactly what HTC is doing here with the DNA.
Earlier today, the DROID DNA disappeared from VZW's site. This, combined with all the Verizon-bound HTC One rumors, prompted some in the Android community to wonder whether such a One variant is almost upon us - after all, why would Big Red take down one of its most powerful smartphones so suddenly? The vanishing act didn't last long, however, as the DNA just returned, seemingly alive and well:
It's unclear at this point whether the phone was briefly missing by mistake or Verizon put it back because people noticed, but we've reached out to the media relations team to find out and will update this space if they respond (which is unlikely to happen before Monday).
So, you want S-Off on your One X/L, or Droid DNA? Done and done. Thanks to a crafty new "hack" by jcase and beaups, S-Off can easily be yours. As always, however there are a few pre-requisites, as well as some caveats to be aware of.
Firstly, you must have working adb and fastboot. If you don't know what that is, a quick Google search can answer it, and tell you how to get it.

Academic Suspension from MSU for Pre-University Studies students
MSU's Suspension Policy
Students who develop a pattern of low academic achievement risk being suspended from MSU. Pre-University Studies students are admitted with the conditional requirement of achieving a 2.0 GPA in the first semester. As a Pre-University Studies student, if your GPA after your first semester is below 2.0, you are automatically suspended.
After a first suspension, you may not enroll in classes for the next semester. Following a second suspension, you may not enroll for a full academic year. Details of MSU's suspension policy are found here in the undergraduate catalog.
The Impact of a Suspension
Being suspended from MSU may be both traumatic and problematic for you. However, by no means does a suspension necessarily indicate that you will not be successful in college. Many MSU students have difficulty establishing good academic habits. A suspension period out of school often provides students motivation to focus appropriately on their academic life. In addition, the money saved by working during this time can help with the cost of college.
Returning to MSU After Being Suspended
Once your suspension period is over, you are automatically reinstated at MSU. There are two things you must do before you can register for classes, however:
1.Submit the "Intent to Register" form that you received with your suspension notice from the Office of the Provost and
2. Meet with the Assistant Dean of your college. (Students in Pre-University Studies must meet with Janet Heiss Arms and can schedule an appointment by calling 406-994-5536.)
Be sure to submit the Intent to Register form and meet with your Assistant Dean at least three weeks before the beginning of the semester in which you plan to take classes so that the courses you want might still be available. When you meet with your Assistant Dean, you will discuss specific strategies for your academic success in the future.
Suspension Appeal
If you believe that your academic performance in the semester for which you were suspended is not indicative of your academic ability, you can appeal your suspension. In particular, if there were extraordinary circumstances beyond your control: a significant illness near the end of the semester, a traumatic event from which you were unable to recover, an ongoing medical condition, etc. If you believe your academic performance in the semester for which you were suspended was due to circumstances like this, you can appeal your suspension.
Appealing a suspension by no means assures being reinstated. The hearing board will weigh all the factors and make a determination.
How to Appeal a Suspension
- Locate the Suspension Appeal Form that came with your suspension letter. (If you can't find it or if you are out of town, Gallatin College can fax a form to you. Contact them at 406-994-5536.)
- Fill out all the information on the front of the form. (Note: "GID" means "generated identification number," i.e., your MSU student ID. Curriculum is "Pre-University Studies".)
- Review the Required Documentation on the back of the form:
- Statement of Academic Purpose
- Describe the circumstances that explain your low academic performance in the semester for which you were suspended. (Note: Read carefully the information under "3. Personal extraordinary circumstances" on the back of the Suspension Appeal Form to help you prepare this.)
- If you have received any Ds or Fs at MSU, explain the reasons for those grades and for any general problem of low academic performance on your part.
- Academic Plan
- Describe what you will change in circumstances and in your overall strategy that will help ensure your academic success in the future at MSU if your appeal is successful.
- Conduct Record
- If the "2. Conduct Record" section applies to you, be sure to supply that information.
- Gather any other documentation that you believe will help your case, e.g., memo from a doctor, disability test results, medical or psychological evaluation, etc. Include only essential materials, please. If you plan to include documentation of a disability, go here for information.
- Bring, mail, or fax your appeal package (Suspension Appeal Form, Suspension Appeal letter with statement of academic purpose and plan, and any supporting documentation) to your appropriate College. Students in Pre-University Studies should send their package to:
Gallatin College, P.O. Box 170515
101 Hamilton Hall, Montana State University
Bozeman, MT 59717-0515
Fax: 406-994-5577
Be sure to get your packet in before the deadline. Deadlines change every semester and can be determined by contacting the MSU Provost's Office at 406-994-4371.

How do you preheat a Cast Iron Skillet? Can you use the "water test" as with Stainless?
Hey Chowhounders,
I'm considering getting a cast iron skillet. I just made the switch from teflon to stainless and am thinking about going for cast iron.
I'm sure many of you have seen the videos here, particularly the first one in the blog post.
Is the process for preheating cast iron similar? Would you get a similar mercury ball / "Leidenfrost effect"? Is that even what you want when preheating cast iron?
If it makes a difference, I think I would just go with a Lodge chef's skillet, with the rounded sides.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Yeah, I think you're overthinking it. Water still sizzles in cast iron. However, it does heat up more slowly. And, if you're new to cooking in a cast iron skillet, rememeber that the handle will heat up, so use a towel or potholder to grab it. You'll remember after the first time you grab that handle without one!
Harold McGee has an interesting article on heat and pan materials. Toward the end he talks about heating oil in a pan (as is often recommended for stainless steel)
Check this link for more videos in that series.
The last one in the series addresses different pan types. It says CI is too porous for the mercury ball effect to work. I do use drops of water to test a CI pan temperature for cooking pancakes, but the drops dance across the surface then evaporate, which I believe indicates a hot enough pan for pancakes, but too low for chicken.
IME a well seasoned CI pan is much less prone to sticking than SS or anodized Al, so pre-heating is more necessary for browning than to avoid sticking.
I look for water balls when I heat up my iron skillet. I heat my pan on med heat until a drop of water balls as soon as it hits the surface of my pan. I've been putting my hand palm down above the skillet to get a feel for how the heat radiates off the pan, and I think in a while I'll be able to tell this without a drop of water. Which is what cooking is. You just try stuff. Luckily, you have this entire site of cooks to give you plenty of advice as you learn how to use a new CI pan.
I love my CI pans. Using them has become a pleasure I never had in previous years of cooking.
A Lodge skillet is a modest investment, which could last you a lifetime, with proper care. If all those old grannies in the 1800s who cooked on wood stoves can use an iron skillet, you can too!
If you want to get in touch with your "inner geek", you could pick up a non-contact infrared thermometer. Accurate, instant readout, laser pointer -- truly a geek's delight. An IR thermometer is a surprisingly handy thing to have in the kitchen, and also surprisingly inexpensive.
The picture shows one available from Amazon.com that costs only $22.99.
I use a similar model to check the temperature of my Lodge grill pan before I drop in a nice thick steak.
re: tanuki soup
IR thermos are great for checking your oven temp and are necessary for determining accurate temps of your grill.
In the beginning allow yourself extra time to decide where the sweet spot is with your stove and the cast iron. Try a setting between medium and low and give it a good 5 minutes to heat up. Cast iron always can get hotter but it's more difficult to cool down. the mercury ball trick doesn't work with cast iron. Searing of meats will take a higher heat but that is very subjective as to how you like you meat cooked. I have found the rarer you like a steak the higher the heat and a short cooking time works for me.
There are handle mitts that slip over the handles, they can be found online and at restaurant supply houses. Protects not only you but others that may go to move a "cool" pan.
re: SanityRemoved
Um, depending on what you mean by "mercury ball" test, I'd have to say that it works for me. I put a drop of cold water on a heated pan's surface and watch to see if the water drop goes immediately to a ball. I heat my skillet on medium heat. I agree with the part about learning what temp works best for your pan. I've noticed that the stove or a family member does not heat like my stove. You just have to learn.
re: sueatmo
Can I assume that your pan is very well seasoned?
re: cutipie721
Yes, my pans are seasoned and I maintain them pretty carefully. I think heating them on medium heat works well too.
re: sueatmo
In stainless steel the ball will act like mercury does if you spill it on a hard surface. Today playing with mercury is frowned upon as is making moustaches out of asbestos :)
re: SanityRemoved
"In stainless steel the ball will act like mercury does if you spill it on a hard surface. Today playing with mercury is frowned upon as is making moustaches out of asbestos :)"
LOL, I had to laugh at this as I remember how fun mercury was to play with. Sometimes a kid at school would sneak some in. i think they would get it out of broken thermometers. I was totaly facinated with it. Looks like someone could come up with something man made that was safe that would be like it.
As for checking the cast iron skillet to see if it is hot enough by dropping water on it. I do this too, but all I do is just see if it will sizzle when it hits. If it sizzles, I figure it is hot enough.(this has worked for me) I am so simple with my cooking, I guess. I never knew that 'how' the water sizzled gave more specific info on how hot the skillet is. Wow, who knew? Love this board.
re: dixiegal
In college I had a lab assignment that involved lowering a copper ball into a vat of liquid nitrogen, and watching the action as the ball cooled (and recording the temperature with a thermacouple in the ball). Initially the temperature contrast was so great that an insulating layer of vapor form around the ball. Later that layer started to break up, exposing more liquid to the 'hot' ball. For this brief time, the nitrogen boiled very rapidly. Then came another slow phase when nitrogen boiled slowly.
Water on a hot skillet does the same thing. If the skillet is very hot, the droplets will dance around on a vapor layer, and disappear slowly. For a slightly cooler pan, the droplets will boil away rapidly. And yet cooler, the water will form a sheet that gently boils away. And of course if below boiling it just evaporates.

Community Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Indiana distributes nearly 13 million pounds of food a year.
The agency's mission may be easier now that it has surpassed a $5 million capital campaign that kicked off four years ago.
A crowd of 200 gathered Saturday evening at Hotel Fort Wayne, 305 East Washington Center Road, to celebrate reaching the fundraising goal.
A $500,000 grant from the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation of Owings Mills, Md., enabled Community Harvest to secure about $5.2 million. Baltimore businessman, Harry Weinberg, along with his wife, established the foundation more than 50 years ago to combat poverty.
Community Harvest Executive Director Jane Avery said the money will pay for various expenses, including interior and exterior renovations at the agency's headquarters, 999 E. Tillman and a new location at 1010 Coliseum Blvd. N. The site will house a "blanch-chill-freeze technique" that allows fresh produce to be stored for distribution months later.
In fact, it was the produce location that attracted the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation, Avery said.
There was a period during the campaign, however, when officials thought they should've counted their blessings when the tally hit $4 million.
"Some thought maybe we should be happy with that," Avery said.
She admits the reasoning made sense, particularly since many local foundations and companies had capped capital campaign spending because of the Great Recession.
"I'd say more than half of the donations are from individuals and that's not typical," Avery said, adding that businesses and other organizations usually step forward. "Everybody was saying they were only spending money on immediate needs."
Sen. Richard Lugar also noted how the campaign butted heads with the Great Recession, which makes the generosity shown to Community Harvest all the more impressive.
"Exceeding the $5 million goal is a remarkable achievement given the state of the economy during the capital campaign," Lugar, an honorary capital campaign co-chairman, said in a statement. "This success is a tribute to this vital organization which provides nutrition to so many of those in need."
Fellow co-chairman Parkview Health President and CEO, Mike Packnett praised the community for coming together.
"It is not the result of any single individual," he stated. "It is a gathering. It is a collection of efforts, and those in most need will reap what we sow."
Avery said Community Harvest has much to be thankful about as well.
"Before we announced the campaign, a private donor stepped forward and gave us $1 million," she said. "I thought we have to go for it now because we already have 20 percent of the funds."

Our wedding was on a holiday weekend (the 5th of July) and in the morning; so it was a task to find an affordable and available hair and make up vendor. I contacted Lucie Marie and they were so helpful. I planned my wedding out of state and they were very responsive, sending emails of the documents I needed to sign in a very timely fashion.. Angela Parker of Lucie Marie got to the wedding venue (Vintage VIllas) at 7 that morning!! She was on time and ready to go! My bridesmaids and I got there late (of course!) but she just made a joke and went right to work. One of my bridesmaids had a very specific hairstyle in mind of which I sent Angela a picture prior, and she executed it beautifully and in no time at all! I had a very general idea of the hairstyle and makeup I wanted and I absolutley LOVED what she did for me. Elegant and simple. I highly recommend Lucie Marie, especially for those needing on site hair and makeup. I really recommend Angela Parker as well. She was very efficient and friendly. With Lucie Marie expect to get what you pay for and then some!!

Angela is awesome. I needed to find someone who could do hair and makeup and would travel to my venue (about 1.5 hours outside of Austin) for my wedding this past month. I was really drawn to how soft her makeup looked; I wanted to look like the best version of myself on my wedding day, not extremely made-up. Angela was quick on email and did an amazing test run for me, so I was sold.
I really appreciated how flexible and patient Angela was while I figured out the day-of schedule and finalized the list of women getting hair and makeup done leading up to the wedding.
On my wedding day, Angela and her assistant showed up with a fun playlist and great vibe. They made getting ready fun and kept the atmosphere lively. And everyone loved their hair and makeup! It ended up being an extremely windy and rainy day and all of our hair and makeup held up through the night. I didn't even need to re-apply my lipstick once!
People are still complimenting my hair and makeup, weeks after the event! I cannot recommend LucieMarie enough!

luciemarie was recommended to us by the wonderful ladies of our venue (the winfield inn -- also fantastic!). i went out for a hair and makeup trial and was very pleased with what angela did, so i booked her right away. she and her colleague chelsea came out to the winfield on the day of my wedding and did lovely hair and makeup for myself, 5 bridesmaids, 2 mothers, and 2 flower girls. angela not only does great work, but she's also got a great dry sense of humor, so we all had fun hanging out together! and everyone was pleased with the looks she created. . . including my hard-to-please mother who has thinning hair -- angela assured her she was up for the challenge, and did not disappoint! luciemarie was great!!

Angela took care of hair and makup for my 3 bridesmaids and myself. I opted for airbrush. Everyone looked beautiful and photo-ready on this wonderful day. My hair and makeup stayed flawless for hours as we went through an outdoor ceremony and a reception with lots of dancing. Her personality also meshed well with mine and she helped to make the 4 hours of primping go by in a flash. I highly recommend her services.

I loved working with Angela at LucieMarie! She did my hair and makeup for both my bridal portraits and wedding. I am one of those people that usually feels weird/not pretty when other people do my makeup. I was pretty nervous I wasn't going to like it, but Angela was great! She made me feel so beautiful. I felt like an old Hollywood star, which was exactly the look I wanted. She was also really easy to work with - If I didn't like something at first, she was great at doing adjustments to make things look exactly as I wanted. I felt very comfortable communicating with her. On the wedding day she was super efficient and was great at working with all of the different personalities of my bridal party and my Mom. It was a great experience, and I definitely recommend her!

LucieMarie aka Angela was so much fun and did a fantastic job on all of the hair and makeup for my bridal party! Angela is so laid back - she makes getting ready super fun and her sense of humor fit right in with my crazy bridesmaids :) My bridal makeup and hair were flawless, I highly recommend her!

Angela did a trial run and Big Day makeup for myself and my maid of honor. Angela was easy to work with and has a great sense of humor. Our makeup was stunning and we were impressed how far Angela got despite my complete lack of ideas about what to do. If you're on the fence about an airbrush, go for it. The results are amazing. I give 4/5 on quality because my big day makeup and hair didn't match the awesomeness of the trial run. I still looked amazing, but it was a bummer that she didn't/couldn't duplicate the first round 'do (and I'd brought photos as a guide). It may have turned out fine with more time, but we had to scoot. I still wouldn't hesitate to recommend Angela or Lucie Marie. But keep in mind perfection is hard to repeat.

Angela was great. I am a no makeup, ponytail kind of girl and was worried about not looking like myself for my wedding. She was able to make both my hair look soft and natural with major staying power! The only touch up I needed was lip gloss and some mascara, 8 hours after she left! She also worked this dorky horse pin that I needed to carry with me into my hair and made it look an expensive hair choice. Love her!

I loved my bridal hair and makeup. Angela understood exactly what hair and makeup I wanted after a short meeting (I didn't do a trial). The hair didn't last very long but for a summer wedding in Texas, I was only hoping that the hair would last all day. However, Angela did teach us how to 'touch up' the hair, so right before the reception, one of my bridesmaids was able to fix my hair.

I cannot begin to explain how much of an amazing job Angela did for me. She absolutely went the extra-mile in every way possible. As arrogant as it may sound, I looked stunning - All thanks to Angie!
Lightning-fast communication, answered all of my questions (I had lots!) and really took care of my wedding party.
Hopefully this one sticks but if not, I'll be calling Angela again for my future weddings. :)

Angela is amazing!! She and I clicked during my trial and I booked her that day without meeting with anyone else. She really took the time to make sure I loved my hair and makeup. She arrived early on our wedding day and they finished right on time (which I loved). She made me feel pretty and natural at the same time. Love her.

Angela was amazing. I did not want to be stressed out on my wedding day and Angela made sure this would not happen. When we met at the hair and make-up trial, I felt at ease. She made us laugh and took all of my ideas and vision and made it happen. She is truly talented. The day of the wedding was the same way, she showed up and in minutes we were laughing and having fun. There were 6 people for hair and 3 for makeup, she was able to do all of this herself in 3 hours. AND our hair and makeup lasted all night. You cannot go wrong with Angela!

I loved, loved Angela! She did my hair and make-up for engagement, bridals and my wedding. Hilarious personality, not to mention super talented. She talked me into air brush make-up and I loved it. She was also very patient with me as I would email her photos of hair styles I was thinking about for my wedding. Do not hesitate, call her now if you need this service for your wedding, or any photo opportunities for that matter!

Angela did hair and make up for myself, my two bridesmaids, my mother, grandmother, and aunt. And she was fabulous! I can't believe how quickly she was able to get everyone ready. We actually started timing her; we were just so amazed at how quickly she worked and how wonderful everyone looked! I had several changes to my contract along the way. I had two bridesmaids, then one, and then back to two. She was always very sweet and didn't seem at all annoyed with all my emails and questions. On the wedding day she arrived early to get set up and had us all done ahead of schedule. She created such a relaxed and fun atmosphere, we were all at ease and were able to joke around with her and just have a great time. I was so impressed with how my hair and makeup turned out; she did an amazing job, I felt so beautiful on my wedding day. I had so many compliments on my hair and makeup throughout the wedding and it lasted all night. I highly recommend Angela for wedding day hair and makeup! She was amazing! Thank you Angela!

About Us429 St. Paul in Kamloops, BC... Convenience in the Heart of the City
Kamloops United Church (KUC) has been helping the Kamloops' community for over 100 years from its location at 4th and St. Paul. Many community initiatives such as the Foodbank and PIT Stop weekly meals had their genesis from that location. Over the past few years, KUC has been undergoing a redevelopment process – looking for ways to update our facilities and expand the number of ways in which we can help our community. The redevelopment of our site is designed to accomplish both goals.
up front"
In Phase I, the Sanctuary site was renovated to create a new kitchen, hall, preschool and community space. Phase II of the redevelopment is to create affordable homes and help folks attain the goal of home ownership. By working with government agencies, KUC is able to offer brand-new homes in downtown Kamloops and, for those who need it, the ability to purchase a home without having a downpayment up front. Throughout this process, KUC has worked closely with our architectural team at BlueGreen Architecture to ensure that the homes combine function and beauty.
Through our contractor, Tri-City Contracting Ltd., we are confident that the new homes will meet exacting standards for quality and value.
Kamloops United Church has always been about inclusive community. With the new housing development, we are excited to welcome new folks into the neighbourhood – come make 429 St. Paul your home too!

With limited space in county jails, the Sheriff's Department asked local police to only send women arrested on suspicion of violent crimes.
374 women in the Intake Release Center
370 women in the Women's Central Jail
182 women in James A. Musick facility

SANTA ANA – Officials have asked police departments to keep female inmates in city lockups instead of sending them to county jail – underscoring the crowding that has occurred as more convicts are shifted from state prisons to county facilities.
The women's sections of Orange County jails were nearly at full capacity this past weekend when the Orange County Sheriff's Department asked that only violent female offenders be admitted, officials said.
Jailers said that not quite all the beds in the female wards were occupied last weekend. However, county jails continue to be near capacity on busy weekends. Sheriff's officials worry about busy holiday weekends when their bookings and arrests spike.
"The reality is we're most definitely cramped," said Cmdr. Steve Kea of the Sheriff's Department.
Kea said the number of inmates could spike again in July, when another phase of the state's "realignment" plan goes into effect.
As of midnight Sunday, the department had 19 beds available at its Intake Release Center in Santa Ana, where inmates are booked, Kea said. Twelve beds were open at the Women's Central Jail next door and 23 in the James A. Musick facility, a minimum-security jail in Irvine.
Sheriff's officials said inmates could have been moved internally to make more space available. Weekend bookings tend to boost the jail population because many inmates are not bailed out or released until they see a judge Monday, Kea said.
"It's a daily, hour-by-hour housing assessment," Kea said. "It's a constantly shifting and moving thing."
Most local police departments have cells to hold suspects for short periods of time and then transfer them to county facilities for processing.
City jails rarely full
In Anaheim, for example, there is room for more than 100 suspects, said Sgt. Bob Dunn of the Anaheim Police Department.
With the exception of Santa Ana, larger cities in Orange County have holding facilities but are limited in how long they can keep an arrestee before booking him or her in county jail.
Reaching capacity in the city facilities, however, is rare, said Sgt. Fred Lopez of the Orange Police Department.
In 19 years, Lopez said he's never seen his department's holding cells completely filled.
By Monday, county law enforcement officials said the jails were cramped, but back to normal.

In Harm's Way Lyrics - Face To Face
where did you go?
so far away
it seems like everybody tried to tell you everything
and who are you?
who are they?
seems like everybody wants to give themselves away
three days old
so you're tired and the inspiration's gone away
where are you?
in harm's way
seems like everything is broken
and it feels like I might break
on this ordinary day
why do we need to change?
when we were perfect yesterday?
having trouble comprehending
I was sure that I was who I thought I was
and if you want the truth
then I blame them
I blame you and I blame myself
in all this pomp and circumstance
I failed to see that I had missed my chance
without a word to say
I waited
as you turned and walked away
