Can We Stop Talking About Transformation?
Like it?
Posted July 7, 2014
There are words that have all the impact of a car alarm going off in the middle of the night. They scream at you, but most of the time they mean nothing. One such word is 'transformation'.
I've lost count of the amount of transformation I've heard about. Housing estates have been 'transformed' by being sold to private developers. Communities have been transformed by turfing out people on low incomes. Cities have been transformed with the addition of 'iconic' buildings (though for every Bilbao, there's a West Bromwich).
If transformation is an over-used word when we talk about places, it has all the impact of a trapped wasp when it comes to public services. Councils are transformed at regular intervals. So are schools and hospitals. I even know people with 'transformation' in their job titles, which is a hostage to fortune if there ever was one.
Like a chameleon's skin, many of these transformations leave everything unchanged below the service. That's why I used the opportunity of the brilliant (but not transformational) HouseParty unconference last week to introduce the idea of slow policy.
Slow policy is like slow food: a rejection of the idea that faster is better and of the lack of thought, care and attention associated with living life on speed.
Slow policy doesn't give a monkey's about ministerial ego-massaging or media manipulation. It sticks two fingers up to political timetables and the need to be seen to be doing something, however ill-advised, in response to every headline. It takes pleasure in nodding off during the Queen's Speech.
There was a brief period when those who believed in slow policy had a foot in the door of Downing Street. Some still remember the work of the Social Exclusion Unit and Tony Blair's rash promise that within ten to twenty years, nobody would be seriously disadvantaged because of where they lived. There was some recognition there that change takes many years to get right. It was quickly forgotten.
Slow policy isn't the same as no policy. It recognises social and economic challenges and that government has an vital role in meeting them. But it understands first of all that those who have the greatest stake in the future of places and the effectiveness of the organisations that serve them are those who build their lives there, not those for whom the business of change is often mostly one of career advancement.
At HouseParty, which was mainly for people working in housing, I set out seven steps towards slow policy (you can see the slides here).
First is to design for permanence rather than transience, like Coin Street in south London. Instead of 'regenerating' places by removing communities (as Hammersmith and Fulham council planned to do) it changes places by building community.
Second is to support community by investing in local networks rather than top-down initiatives. Note the use of the word investing. Such networks need long term support, not policy interventions or visits from bigwigs seeking to gloss their credibility.
Third is to make welfare relational rather than adversarial. A state that treats the poorest as scroungers and blames them for their predicament encourages exactly the behaviour it condemns, forcing them on the defensive. Responsibility is built on trust, not on bullying.
Fourth is to let people use the spaces and places around them creatively. People love Incredible Edible Todmorden because it's creative and fun and changes things (don't take my word for it, read the book or see for yourself). But it engages more seriously with issues of food security, climate change and the local economy than many well-funded initiatives I've come across.
Fifth, design for life at walking pace. Towns with plenty to do and see and where priority isn't given to speeding in, out and around are places that are interesting and attract visitors. Designing cities for people is just common sense.
Sixth, make public services personal. Co-produce them and give the people who use them the chance to shape them. Turn them into conversations, not application forms.
Finally - and slowest of all - start seriously planning how to introduce a universal basic income that gives people the opportunity to make real choices about their lives. Break once and for all the myth that paid employment is more worthy and valuable than caring for friends or family, building community or acting creatively. Give people a minimum income that meets basic needs and allow them to choose how much more they will earn through paid work. It's an investment that will reap rewards for all of us.
Of course a basic income would utterly disrupt a labour market that depends on a growing army of low-paid, insecure workers and a punitive benefits system. It might take a generation to implement in a fashion that enabled society to adjust its thinking. But once again slow is better than no.
If history tells us anything about progress, it's that Great Leaps Forward tend to end in disaster. So if we want lasting change, perhaps we should look for less transformation.

Danny Lupiani says:
Community is the key word in this article. If we all worked together more on building communities, our country would be in a different place today. It does not matter whether the investment comes from government of public funds, we all must invest into the future today so our communities can be strong and healthy tomorrow.

I think, after 400-something of these strips, that if anything has emerged as a PartiallyClips "style" it's this casual banter on heavy subjects among people and things you wouldn't necessarily expect it of. It's almost as if I'm picturing some kind of fantasy world in which everyone's the same, but a little more intellectually curious. Wouldn't be a bad world to live in, and in fact, it might be a hell of a lot safer.
It's definitely a fantasy, though. I've made three or four thousand pizzas in my lifetime and I'll tell you – I never had even one conversation like this.
I did the father-son relationship by way of explaining why they'd both share the same quirk, and also to explain the youth of the one depicted.
This is another one which came out of an IM conversation I had. I didn't get to use the line I really enjoyed: "Someone made a half-pizza, half-fruit-cocktail monster to please me?" That, for those of you who have not yet encountered Jonathan Coulton's incredible talent and humor, is a reference to Skullcrusher Mountain.

Transmission digital holographic microscopy based on a beam-splitter cube interferometer
Applied Optics, Vol. 48, Issue 15, pp. 2778-2783 (2009)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (556 KB)
A new optical configuration for digital holographic microscopy is presented. Digital off-axis holograms are recorded by use of a single cube beam splitter in a nonconventional configuration to both split and combine a diverging spherical wavefront as it emerges from a single point source. Both the amplitude and the phase can then be reconstructed, yielding intensity and phase images with improved resolution. The novelty of the proposed configuration is its simplicity, minimal number of optical elements, insensitivity to vibration, and its inherent capability to compensate for the phase curvature that results from the illuminating wavefront in the case of microscopic samples.

Lorraine Jordan And Carolina Road
Paved For Success
By Bill Conger
Bluegrass veteran Lorraine Jordan had an epiphany of sorts when she met country music superstar Garth Brooks. Backstage at the George Jones Tribute Concert November 22, 2013, the Lady of Tradition humbly introduced herself as "just one of the bluegrass people here," to which Brooks responded with a friendly reprimand. "He said, 'Don't ever sell yourself short like that. You guys have a lot of talent. By golly, you guys can play your instruments or sing those harmonies, and I look up to you bluegrass guys. You're in the trenches and you don't get to play in front of the millions of people and the big live spotlights and all, but you're out there and you're keeping it going for us.'"
That moment solidified Jordan's belief that the bluegrass community can count on country artists as supporters, not competitors. Bluegrass and country music were united like marriage partners in the early days, but, in time, the two genres were separated. It's not a reunion that all bluegrass folks want. "There's a lot of fans and a lot of musicians that are like, 'Dagum! Why are they in our territory?'" Jordan said. Instead, she thinks, "Look how much they've done for us!" She believes having country artists like Dolly Parton, Alan Jackson, and Merle Haggard who have recorded bluegrass projects is a boost to bluegrass.
Jordan is tying the knot between bluegrass and classic country on the new CD, Bluegrass Country, which is due out in early Spring 2015. She and her band, Carolina Road, are providing the instrumentation and harmonies to country hits from Randy Travis ("Diggin' Up Bones"), John Anderson ("Seminole Wind"), Floyd Cramer ("Last Date"), Lynn Anderson ("I Never Promised You A Rose Garden"), Jim Ed Brown ("You Can Have Her"), John Conlee ("Common Man"), T.G. Sheppard ("Do You Want To Go To Heaven"), Lee Greenwood ("Dixie Road"), Eddy Raven ("I Got Mexico"), Marty Raybon ("Darned If I Don't, [Dang If I Do]"), and the Kentucky Headhunters ("Runnin' Water"). Most of the original artists will be singing the lead vocals on their tracks on this project. They recorded with Ronnie Reno, who wrote the Conway Twitty hit "Boogie Grass Band," which the ensemble of musicians and singers recorded together live at Ricky Skaggs' studio.

Red Hat enjoys fruit of recession
Red Hat is still looking to expand beyond its traditional market of tech-savvy companies into a more mainstream world nearly a year after the open source vendor first declared its intentions to woo conservative customers away from rivals Microsoft and Oracle. According to the company's EMEA boss, Werner Knoblich, who spoke to …
"Clearly a downturn is never good generically, it's a bad thing."
On the contrary. It's like working off the alcohol after a night on the tiles. The economy readjusts after the heady party days of easy credit, serial malinvestments and bubble blowing. People look for good investment schemes, unsustainable businesses get folded and prices readjust. Of course, like a host fearing that hung over guests will turn sour, government does everything it can to keep the blood alcohol high and the cocaine bowls filled by doing the Keynesian song & dance: print money, burn resources and keep giving out easy credit. Welcome to the Great Recession.
All aboard the RedHat train
"Microsoft will tell you it will slow down, we'll tell you it will accelerate like crazy, but the truth is it'll probably stop somewhere in the middle."
The front carriages will tear free, the middle section will slam on the brakes leaving the rear section to pile into it?
Not sure
Not sure it's just the recession. I suspect that Microsoft turning out a steaming pile of crapware (I hear "Vista" is what they prefer to call it) has had a compounding effect.
I've certainly sat in several meetings where Vista got crossed off the list immediately as a complete waste of time.

TI Bluetooth software stack delivers over-the-air downloads
Texas Instruments has released its newest BLE-Stack 1.3 software to support continued development and enhancement of Bluetooth low energy.
The software includes over-the-air firmware downloads (OAD), which enable updates to CC2540/1 firmware to be downloaded from a central device, such as a phone, tablet or PC onto the CC2540/1 system-on-chip (SoC) directly over the RF link.
"The Bluetooth low energy market is rapidly expanding because of its ease of use and the innovative, unique applications being created to take advantage of Bluetooth v4.0-enabled smartphones and tablets. However, barriers to entry still remain," said Sid Shaw, worldwide business development and marketing manager, Wireless Connectivity Solutions, TI. "Our new BLE-Stack 1.3 makes development with the CC2540/41 devices even easier through over-the-air firmware downloads, new interface support and increased tools functionality to help developers quickly get from concept to design."
OAD support is said to help customers save time and simplify the software upgrade process, leaving more time to design and create new Bluetooth low energy devices and applications.
Additionally, for customers using Bluetooth low energy and proprietary implementations, TI's unique Boot Image Manager (BIM) allows multiple firmware stacks to reside on a single CC2540/1 SoC. BIM enables an end-product to support two different Bluetooth low energy stacks or a single Bluetooth low energy stack and a single 2.4GHz proprietary stack.
The new software features are further supported by sample applications with extensive profile support and include upgraded network processor UART and SPI interfaces for improved power management control.
To further the development of new Bluetooth low energy applications, the new BLE-Stack 1.3 also runs on TI's SensorTag development kit and Mini-kit.
The SensorTag development kit is supported by OAD, iOS app and the Bluetooth low energy device monitor.

UPDATE 2-Canadian regulators approve Enbridge's Line 9 plan
- Tweet
- Share this
By Julie Gordon
VANCOUVER, March 6 (Reuters) - Canadian regulators on Thursday approved Enbridge Inc's Line 9 oil pipeline reversal and expansion, conditional on the country's largest pipeline company undertaking additional work on consultation and safety.
Enbridge plans to reverse its Line 9B pipeline, which extends from southern Ontario to Quebec, and boost capacity of the entire Line 9 line by 25 percent to 300,000 barrels per day (bpd), in order to ship western oil to refineries in Eastern Canada. The oil would enter Ontario through Michigan on its Mainline system.
The approval by the National Energy Board (NEB) was widely expected, as the plan uses existing infrastructure, requires no new pipeline and much of the work will take place on Enbridge property or right-of-ways.
"Repurposing pipeline is always what people want to do first, versus building new pipeline," said Steven Paget, an analyst with FirstEnergy Capital. "I think there's demonstrated need and it really doesn't change what's already existing."
The project is one of several major pipeline investments proposed for North America, fueled by the rapid growth of Canada's oil industry. Efforts to boost pipeline capacity have been met with fierce opposition from environmentalists who argue that the tar sands are contributing to climate change.
"The board's decision enables Enbridge to react to market forces and provide benefits to Canadians, while at the same time implementing the project in a safe and environmentally sensitive manner," the NEB said in its report.
The approval of the 639-km (400-mile) pipeline reversal and expansion is contingent on the company meeting 30 conditions related to emergency response, continued consultation and pipeline integrity.
The agency also turned down Enbridge's request for exemption from "leave to open" requirements, meaning the company must ask for permission to start up the line after all work is finished.
Enbridge, which has operated Line 9 since 1976, said it is reviewing the requirements outlined in the agency's report and will continue to work to meet its conditions.
"The approval of this project is not the end of the process for us," said Chief Executive Officer Al Monaco in a statement. "We look forward to continuing our efforts to build trust in these communities and continue the discussion of how to make a safe and well performing pipeline even safer."
Line 9 originally moved oil from Sarnia, Ontario, to Montreal, but was reversed in the late 1990s to pump cheap imported crude west. Enbridge applied in November 2012 to reverse the flow again, to pump oil eastwards to Quebec.
That would benefit refineries in the eastern Canadian province, including Suncor Energy Inc's 130,000-bpd Montreal refinery and Valero Energy Corp's 265,000-bpd Jean Gaulin refinery in Levis, Quebec.
Enbridge said the project will help protect thousands of jobs and open new markets for Canadian oil producers, but pipeline opponents were quick to condemn the approval, saying the NEB had failed to respond to their concerns on safety and the environment.
"Enbridge's Line 9 pipeline project is a recipe for disaster," said Adam Scott of Environmental Defence in a statement. "The 39-year-old pipeline runs directly through the most densely populated parts of Canada, threatening the health, safety and environment of Canadians."
Line 9B runs underneath the Greater Toronto Area, which is home to about 6 million people. A smaller portion of pipeline, known as Line 9A, was previously approved for reversal.
Enbridge has a year to meet the NEB's conditions for the Line 9 approval.

The Journal asked Stanislaus County Supervisor Vito Chiesa to look back at 2010 and ahead for 2011. The following is his perspectives on the county's past and future.
The USDA's Organic Initiative will enter its third year of helping organic producers and those looking to transition into organic production in 2011 with up to $50 million in funding.
"Increasing consumer demand for organically grown foods is providing new opportunities for small and mid-size farmers to prosper and stay competitive in today's economy," Agriculture Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan said. "The 2008 Farm Bill calls for this assistance, and we want to help these farmers protect the natural resources on their land and create conditions that help foster organic production."
The Journal asked Turlock Mayor John Lazar to look back at 2010 and ahead for 2011. The following is his perspectives on the city's past and future.
The population in the United States grew by 9.7 percent over the last decade, marking one of the slowest growth rates since the Great Depression, according to figures released Tuesday by the Census Bureau.
Community members have spoken and they want Turlock Federal Housing and Urban Development money to be spent on anti-poverty, human services and public safety rather than housing, infrastructure and public facilities. This is what city staff found after sending out a survey through local utility bills to 18,607 customers in the spring of 2010.
As new council members Bill DeHart and Forest White took their oath of office at Tuesday's Turlock City Council meeting, a striking controversy bowled into City Hall before the council voted in favor of a 51,828 sq. foot family entertainment center, which includes bowling lanes, a laser tag arena and bocce ball courts.
A once chaotic small Central Valley town has begun planning for a better and more positive future. Even as three new council members take office and a new city manager comes on board, the City of Hughson continues to strive for a stronger community - the first step, creating a strategic plan.
The California Legislature gaveled in a new two-year session on Monday, welcoming 28 new legislators. They will have little time to get settled as the state is facing a $25.4 billion budget deficit expected over the next year and a half and a state-wide unemployment rate of 12.4 percent.
In a 4-to-1 split the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors voted to approve another round of budgetary reductions at the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department that will force the layoffs of an additional 23 employees, including 14 patrol deputies.
Senator Leland Yee (D-San Francisco) has not given up hope on his Public University Transparency Bill. Despite being vetoed twice by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Yee plans on presenting it again, this time to the governor-elect on Monday.
While the City of Turlock prepares to seat a new council following the Nov. 2 election, the investigation into the party or parties responsible for the illegal "robocalls" placed during the 2008 City Council election continues. The repercussions of the investigation also continue to sow discord between council members.
Any plans to bring a Target Supercenter or a Super Wal-Mart to the area likely were dealt a fatal and final blow as Turlock's Planning Commission voted 5-2 to recommend the City Council maintain the status quo when it comes to the ban on discount superstores.
Civility was the watchword of the 2010 Turlock City Council campaign.
The Turlock City Council on Tuesday unanimously voted to assess $13,113.32 in municipal code enforcement fees against a property located at 433 S. Laurel where city-required work was not completed, despite a 90-day extension.
Smokable herbal blends that were legal to purchase in stores and over the Internet have been temporarily put under the control of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), pending a final ruling on the substances. The DEA is using its emergency scheduling authority to temporarily control five chemicals used to make "fake pot" products. Smokable herbal blends that were legal to purchase in stores and over the Internet have been temporarily put under the control of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), pending a final ruling on the substances.
Transit services for those in need in the community are becoming much more comprehensive due to the Turlock City Council's approval of an agreement with a new firm to sell advertising on local buses, the revenue of which allows the City to provide transit tickets to local nonprofits and the Turlock Unified School District.
When Mayor Matt Beekman took the microphone Monday evening to deliver his State of the City address at the Hughson City Council meeting, he had one piece of news of which not all mayors can boast: the City's General Fund reserves are at 83 percent.
Transit services for those in need in the community could become much more comprehensive pending the Turlock City Council's approval of an agreement with a new firm to sell advertising on local buses. The revenue from the sale of bus ads allows the City to provide transit tickets to local nonprofits and the Turlock Unified School District.
While a City of Turlock workshop held Tuesday had citizens and council members alike lamenting the poor quality of roads in town, in a positive twist of fate just two days later the City was notified that it received a grant of $105,550 from the Department of Resources Recycle and Recovery, or CalRecycle.
The Stanislaus Water Advisory Committee convened for their first meeting of 2015 Tuesday morning to discuss taking steps towards establishing a Groundwater Sustainability Agency, one component of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act that was passed in 2014 to allow regional control of local groundwater resources.
It's public opinion shared by many in Turlock that the roads are in poor condition, but on Tuesday evening Director of Development Services Michael Pitcock enlightened the community on just how bad the streets really are.
What was meant to be a celebration of President Barack Obama's new expansion of programs for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals transformed into a call to action after a federal court ruled late Monday night to block the president's executive action that would extend present DACA laws.

Law in the Crisis of Empire, 379-455 Ad: The Theodosian Dynasty and Its Quaestors with a Palingenesia of Laws of the Dynasty
This is a new book from an eminent and well-respected scholar. A work of reference; an essay in the analysis of style; a contribution to the prosopography of the late Roman quaestorship; a reflection on the fall of the western and the survival of the eastern Roman empire: the book combines all four. Using his innovative and controversial method of analysis, already successfully employed in his highly-acclaimed Emperors and Lawyers (2nd edn 1994, OUP), the author examines the laws of a crucial period of the late Roman empire (379-455 AD), a time when the West collapsed while the East survived. Wherever possible, he assigns each law to the likely imperial quaestor who drafted it. This approach yields a novel type of list of office holder (Fasti), in which each quaestor is associated with the laws he drafted. The author shows why the eastern Theodosian Code (429-438 AD), intended to restore the legal and administrative unity of the Roman empire, came too late to save the West. The accompanying Palingenesia on an accompanying disk will enable scholars to read the texts chronologically and to judge the soundness of the arguments advanced. This book will be welcomed as a significant advance in our understanding of a fascinating period of late antiquity.

Any of you who have started to do research on the subject of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy know there are a myriad of books out there--written by everyone from healthcare professionals to celebrities. Some are good, some aren't, but one of the common complaints I hear from women is that the books are difficult to read/comprehend (made worse by the fact that if you are peri/menopausal, you are already likely suffering from brain fog). A new book came out a few months ago on bioidentical hormones and it was written by a healthcare professional (RN) who also has walked the walk with hormonal imbalance and gone from feeling awful to fantastic. The book is called Stop the Needless Suffering by Rosie Brown, and it was written specifically as a "primer" for those who want to start researching the subject and become educated about hormone balance. Her book not only covers the basics of bioidentical hormones, but also thyroid issues and adrenal fatigue, and she is quick to offer ideas for supplemental readings on all three subjects. Her book is filled with stories about women who have improved their health with bioidentical hormone balance, which will be a comfort to those of you who are not quite convinced that this is a protocol that might be right for you. The end of each chapter has little "nuggets" --- quick little sentences/paragraphs to summarize the important points of the book. She lays out the sex hormones (estrogen - testosterone - progesterone)---their functions, signs of deficiencies, etc, iin an easy to read format. She explains the reasons why our hormones get out of balance (I guarantee you will see yourself in reading the case studies), ways to get your hormones tested, and has chapters on healthy eating, detox, and even a chapter that speaks to health care providers. The book also is holistic in that includes ways to bring more vitality and happiness to your life. The book is easy to read---I highly recommend it. Full disclosure, I am honoured to be quoted by Rosie on page 53 of the book----it talks about how I travel cross country to Southern CA for my hormonal care. Anyone who knows me will tell you----- if I didn't think the book was good, I wouldn't recommend it. This book is badly needed by a lot of women to help them understand the basics of BHRT---it will help them talk to their healthcare professionals, advocate for themselves, and give them a good foundation to further research bioidentical hormone replacement. Here is the link to Rosie's website, and she is also on Facebook and Twitter . |

This is a discussion on Do you guys have a favorite brand of guns. within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Originally Posted by Rugergirl If you looked in my safe and saw 4 S&W's and one Kimber, you'd wonder where my name comes from. Hubby's ...
I never really looked at it as "buying brands" I looked at it more as "buying models." I decide which model or kind of gun I want, then figure out which brand works the best for me price, reliability, and quality. The brand always ends up being different for the model. I seriously do not have 2 of the same brand.
Love Winchester products.
For pistols it is either CZ or Kel tec.
Savage rifles are starting to worm their way into my heart as well though.
Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men.
I have more Sigs than any other brand in pistols. Sporting shotguns I'm partial to Beretta, Remington is a close second.
"Just blame Sixto"
I like them all, but like others, I have exceptions. I dont like Glock. I dont like cheap crap like Star, I dont like "weird" guns that look abnormal or function abnormally. I cant remember any off the top of my head, but I have seen many like this.
Please don't limit me! Rem, Howa, Springfield, Ruger.......
M&P Shield9; RIA 1911 Tactical 9mm;...many long guns
Glock would be the one gun I can't live without.
but my EMP is making me smile a lot lately
Zoe: "Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing?
Book: "Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps."
My favorite brand would have to be Glock and I have/had more 9mm's then any other caliber probably due to their smaller size for easy carry.
Colt New Agent, Dan Wesson V-Bob, Glock 19,20SF, 23, 26, 27, 29, 30SF, 36, Kahr P380 w/CT, PM9, PM45, CW9(SOLD), Kel-Tec P32, P3AT, PF9(SOLD), Kimber Ultra Crimson Carry II, Stainless Pro TLE/RL II (SOLD), Rohrbaugh R9s, Ruger LCP w/CT, LCR, SP101 S&W J-Frame 638 w/CT, M&P 340 w/CT, Walther PPK/S
A year ago , I would have said Glock. But in the last 9 months , I moved toward S&W, both M&P (3) and 3rd generation 9 (3).
Smith and Wesson is my favorite brand :D
Glock: G22 .40 S&W and G23 .40 S&W Sig Sauer: P938 9mm Smith and Wesson: Model 437 .38 Spl, Model 65 357 Mag, and Sigma SW9VE 9mm
Sig's first and Glocks next, long arms Im a Winchester man then Remington second.
But I do have a sweet Parker and Hale .243 that gets a lot of deer action.
"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on."
- Sir Winston Churchill
I have 6 guns and all are different brands...but well represented. Glock, Sig, Smith, Winchester, Remington. and Colt
Friends don't let friends be MALL NINJAS.
I am just as nice as anyone lets me be and can be just as mean as anyone makes me. - Quoted from Terryger, New member to our forum.
I like all guns, I'm certainly not prejudiced.
Can't say I've got a favorite. Over the years I've had Ruger, Winchester, H&K, Glock, Century International, Springfield Armory, Para Ordnance, Smith & Wesson, Mossberg, and Beretta.
They all have/had a purpose or job.
Statistically speaking though, I've bought more of Glock than any other brand of firearm, so I guess one could assume that's my "favorite."

2nd half, calls T.Os. to prevent Kap from getting another 5yd penalty for delay of game, while trying madly to get play changed, and not beating the clock. Harbaugh saved him twice, and called T.O. to review a play called. NO chance for review of any more plays, incl the questionable catch in the EZone. Man, this is the result of Kap learning to read and then change plays at LOS, something better done in PS and TC. But Coach made the call to start Kap and now he is having to endure the expected confusion for a rook qB learning reads and play changes late in last few games of season. Will this weakness be the thing that denies of a SB bid or SB win this yr? Because if so, then JImbo made a bad call. Kap does not seem to be learning how to recognize D and then get play changed in time. Against anyone but Dolphins a few others it could have been catastrophic.
So what is the answer here? Coach can't continue to burn T.O.s to save 5 yrd penalties on Kap for his slowness in getting a new play called. Should he just go ahead and call the play that was sent in and not change plays? Honestly today that seems to have been a better plan than allowing kap to stew with D recongnition and then slowly changing play calls. I don't see us making the cut for the NFC title like this and am curious what others think of this not to very good situation we find ourselves in. Any suggestions?

CapLease 2012 Acquisition Volume Grows To Over $165 Million
CapLease, Inc. (NYSE: LSE) announced today the closing of the previously announced purchase of an approximately 145,000 square foot Class A office building located in the Energy Corridor of Houston, Texas for a purchase price of $35.5 million. The building is 90% leased to WorleyParsons Limited, an Australian listed energy and resource service engineering company with a market capitalization of over $6 billion. The WorleyParsons lease runs through December 2019. The remaining square footage in the building is leased by two other credit worthy tenants.
CapLease's average capitalization rate for the property is approximately 8.2%. The Company expects to complete a 55% loan-to-cost non-recourse mortgage of the property prior to December 31, 2012. The approximately $19.5 million first mortgage loan is expected to be priced at a coupon of 4%, with a ten year term.
CapLease also announced that it that it has entered into a binding contract to acquire two adjacent office buildings in a major market in the Southwestern United States for a total purchase price of $26.1 million. The Company's average capitalization rate for the properties will be over 9%. CapLease expects to close the acquisition prior to December 31, 2012.
Paul McDowell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "As we have done consistently over the last two years, these latest acquisitions demonstrate our ability to add high quality, well located properties at better than average returns. We are also optimistic we will be able to add at least one more high quality accretive transaction to the portfolio prior to year-end, and our recently announced block sale of common stock through the ATM program has given us the capital to close within that timeframe."
Completion of the pending transactions described in this press release is subject to customary closing conditions and, therefore, no assurance can be given that CapLease will complete such transactions, or that the timing or terms of such transactions will not differ materially from CapLease's expectations.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
