Platform Beer hopes to help brew entrepreneurial spirit with incubator
Blog Entry:
March 25, 2014 4:30 AM | Author: KATHY AMES CARR
Platform Beer Co. is located at West 41st Street and Lorain Avenue.

First phase of Brick and Barrel craft brewery and winery set to launch in June
Paul Benner knew he wanted to transition his home-brewing passion into a profession from the time he brewed those early batches from his apartment kitchen and guest bathroom (otherwise known as his fermentation chamber).
But it took nearly two years before his business plan evolved into the bricks-and-mortar that is the Cleveland Brew Shop in Tremont, which opened in 2012. Now Benner is furthering his vision of incorporating under one roof a microbrewery, tap room and home brewing incubator in Cleveland's Ohio City neighborhood.
The 5,000-square-foot
Platform Beer Co.
is expected to open in early June at West 41st Street and Lorain Avenue.
"The brewing community was so incredibly forthright on helping me launch this vision," Benner said. "We want to be a part of that collaborative spirit, and this is the platform for those passionate about brewing."
Benner, in partnership with JC BeerTech founder Justin Carson, are repurposing a two-story brick building that in a former life functioned as both an antique mall and a Czech social hall. Platform occupies the first floor, while JC BeerTech, a draft beer designer and installer, operates from above.
A unique aspect of the operation includes its home brewing consulting in the form of a free 12-week education program that enables a home brewer to utilize Platform's commercial space for brewing while taking lessons on business plan formulation, marketing, branding and navigating the labyrinth of state and federal regulations.
"We're going to have a punch list to help people get their home brewing dreams off the ground, because otherwise, it's hard to know where to start," Benner said.
Washington-based Brewery Finance, and the Economic and Community Development Institute, a microlender with an office in Cleveland's MidTown neighborhood, will connect the home brewer with financing and equipment leasing opportunities.
"We want to give our home brewers the tools to start their own brewery when they complete the course," said Benner, who noted the first registered home brewer begins the program in July.
Each student will have the opportunity to test market three brews to Platform's customers.
"We're also going to make their graduation day a really big deal," Benner said.
Platform Beer Co. models its concept of integrating a tasting room and production facility after similar ventures in California, Colorado and Oregon, which offer a departure from the brewpub experience that also centers around food.
The 99-seat tap room integrates high-top tables, an old-school bowling alley, pinball machine and a 32-seat bar located just a few feet from the base of four stainless steel fermentation tanks.
The microbrewery will open with those four 10-barrel fermentation tanks (with space for 10) and two three-barrel tanks for guest brewers. A mix of 24 national and local beers — including five of Platform's own brews — will occupy tap handles.
"The whole idea is to make the beer the focus," Benner said, though he noted munchies like Campbell's popcorn and Brewnuts craft beer donuts will be available to snack on. The Plum, an adjacent bistro, will serve light sandwiches and specialty pretzels.
Platform Beer Co.'s initial annual production under the direction of brewmaster Shaun Yasaki, formerly of Fat Head's Brewery, should yield about 1,000 barrels. Plans call for distribution of the canned brews to local restaurants and grocers.
The project's total cost is about $550,000.
Local morsels
Jason Roberts, an internationally famed chef, cookbook author and television personality, was in town for six days in mid-March to help owner and architect Joe Hanna revamp the menu of
Bon Vivant
in Larchmere. The collaboration, facilitated by Cleveland-based food stylist and recipe developer Heidi Robb, involved transitioning the menu from classic French with heavier dishes to lighter French fare and smaller plates. Look for tasty snacks such as spiced nuts, baked camembert, crisp fried calamari and a make-your-own charcuterie board. For heartier appetites, choose from such dishes as a plate of smoked mussels, peppered salmon and pickled herrings or the boiled salt cod accompanied by medley of root vegetables and celeriac remoulade. "The biggest emphasis is on fresh and organic," Roberts said.
Popular Cleveland chef Chris Hodgson is a nominee for Food & Wine's annual People's Best New Chef award. The program honors emerging innovators who have run their own kitchens for five years or fewer.

BarSmarts, a leading spirits and mixology education course, is coming to Cleveland on April 29. Featuring an all-star lineup of mixologists, this course is open to any bartender. Cost is $75, and location has yet to be determined.

National news
Mobile devices are spurring tippers to be more generous, with 20% representing "the new 15%," according to
Bon Appetit
article, which suggests that the digital age is establishing new standards on what gratuities should be. "Even the stingiest customer doesn't feel quite the same punch in the wallet when he scribbles a couple of numbers onto an iPad instead of counting out and handing over a wad of cash," the story says. Perhaps cash-only establishments, then, should reconsider their payment options.
Dining out, unsurprisingly, is costing us more than eating at home, as restaurants are passing along to customers rising food costs while grocery chains are swallowing them, according to
. Restaurant meals aren't commodities the way groceries are, and grocers are more insulated from price hikes because of the breadth of products they offer, according to the story.

I would have liked to see VirtualBox and QEMU/KVM thrown into the mix.
Phoronix: VMware Fusion 5.0 Benchmarks With Ubuntu 12.04
Many Phoronix readers have been asking about VMware Fusion 5.0 benchmarks, so here are some numbers for those wondering about this closed-source virtualization product for running other operating systems atop Mac OS X...
I would have liked to see VirtualBox and QEMU/KVM thrown into the mix.
I don't get it. Why are you testing Fusion, a Mac application, instead of VMWare Workstation, a Linux app?
so maybe he tried and like me emoquitted after the crash fest but vmware fusion was stable enough to run PTS
maybe for you is awesome or maybe is my set of hardware[opteron and amdFX bulldozer and my old phenon II X4] but for me is not usable and if it works once you put some CPU pressure BANG!!!
mmm vmware workstation 9 is out and i haven't tested that one but the 2 previous versions failed on me enough to never bother in wasting money on it again.
So this doesn't mean much if I'm a Linux user with Ivy Bridge and Intel HD 4000 graphics (on Mesa)? It would be great to hear I could get similar results emulating Windows on Linux, since 3ds Max (and of course games for most of the readers here) is the one application I even need it for. Since I don't plan to use OS X at home, I'm finding it really hard to be excited about this.
It would be great if Oracle took a similar stance on improvements to 3d performance in VirtualBox, but I wonder if they even have the resources to make a significant jump.
Looking at the benchmarks, I wonder what workloads benefited from the "40% better performance" claims made in the marketing material. With the exception of 3D rendering, a lot of workloads were already within 10% of the bare-metal figures.
Running Fusion5 now. Seems to fix the bridged network issue. While performance does not appear to be noticeably faster, nothing that I do has suffered any sort of regression.

Pastors and interns regularly deal with the question of how to make the best possible use of social media and defining the proper limits of the use of Facebook, Twitter, etc. Recently Pastor Keith Anderson of Upper Dublin Lutheran Church in Ambler, Penn., shared some good thoughts on this subject in his blog. Pastor Anderson is a good thinker on electronic media and ministry; we encourage you to check out this entry:http://pastorkeithanderson.net/item/you-re-not-my-pastor

I was in the area and decided to check on my storage area after dark and in the snow last week. My code wouldn't work right, so I called the number on the sign on the gate to get help. It turned out that I had my old card and code from when I rented space in Tonawanda, NY, so of course it wouldn't work! The associate was very kind and helpful to me, in the dark, in the snow, late at night, all alone. Thank you!Diane from Lakeville, NY

Printed card with photo, the purpose of which, I assume, was to be given out to people upon meeting them.
Stanton Henry King was born in Barbados on 1 May 1867 and died 10 November 1939 in Everett, Massachusetts; his death date was contributed by a reader via the comments section below.
After spending some years at sea in the US Navy, he went to Boston and became director of the Sailors' Haven. He was an author and singer and compiler of sea chanties. His books include "Dog Watches at Sea", 1900, where he describes the life of the common sailor.
In response to the query of a reader, I started a family tree for Stanton Henry King and transcribed some newspaper articles I found about him. Interestingly, he was one of 28 or 29 children; the 27th, from his father's third wife. I'm still looking for his parents' names, but I believe he married twice and had at least three children.
A book he wrote about his early years at sea, Dog Watches at Sea, is available at archive.org.

We have them sitting on top of our entertainment unit in the living room.
I have had other LED candles with only one light from another company and they were not bright enough to show up in a lighted room.
They really have a flickering look,just like burning candles.

Ordered too late for Christmas this year so will put them out on a silver tray with white roses for Valentine's

- Good value for the price
- Has a timer
- Looks like a real candle
- Made Of Real Wax
Best Uses
- Home decoration
I bought this to use as a Christmas decoration in my home, but it can be used all year round. It looks so real and really flickers like a normal candle would because of the three LED bulbs that give a warm, soft glow. I surrounded it with Christmas tree branches and pinecones, and tied some lace around the top. Would have given it 5 stars if it had a scent, but it is a great value for the price. You can set the timer to 4, 6, or 8 hours. Will definitely buy more in other sizes!

Best Uses

- Any time
Arrived undamaged and ready for use; inserting batteries was a breeze. The setting buttons were easy to find and operate; however, their description were extremely minuscule written that a magnifier needed to utilized to see what setting was optimal. The candle can be placed singularly or with others (including real candles) accents the settlings well. In a distance can not be distinguished from a beeswax originals!!
Great purchase and worth.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
I liked the candle but the sample picture was deceptive. There were two candles picture when I clicked on the 6" candle. So when I placed the order, I thought I was getting a set of two. This was supposed to be an outlet price? Could have found it cheaper elsewhere.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Automatic on and off
- Realistic looking
- Soft Flickering Light
Best Uses
I use these for a little bit of soft lighting in rooms from sundown until bedtime. The four-hour automatic timer does very well for this. We have a big, historic home with high ceilings, and total darkness in a room seems cold, particularly in winter. These candles give a soft glow, adding a feeling of warmth to the room, and I can manuever around without accidentally bumping into things.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Attractive
- Gentle Lighting
- Strong colors
- Wax Exterior Is Very Real
- Must Be Eye Level Or High
- Uses 4 AA batteries
Best Uses
- Entertaining
- Evening
This will be lovely at Christmas. Since the only colors are red and white, it may be difficult to use randomly during the year. I put a set of six on a cake platter to provide some elevation to avoid seeing the LED lights--very attractive for Valentine's Day.
- Was this a gift?:

- Looks real
- Love the timer

Best Uses
- On mantel
a little tricky putting in the batteries but well worth it.
- Was this a gift?:

- Adds Soft Light
- Easy to use

Best Uses
- Holiday Decoration
- Mantle decorating
- Table decoration
This candle operates on a timer, which you set to come on when you want. It goes off on its own after several hours of operation, saving battery life. Or you can just turn it on and off manually. Its light is very realistic--it looks like a real candle if you place it high (like on a mantle) so you can't see the bulbs.

Data Scraping Wikipedia with Google Spreadsheets
Prompted in part by a presentation I have to give tomorrow as an OU eLearning community session (I hope some folks turn up – the 90 minute session on Mashing Up the PLE – RSS edition is the only reason I'm going in…), and in part by Scott Leslie's compelling programme for a similar duration Mashing Up your own PLE session (scene scetting here: Hunting the Wily "PLE"), I started having a tinker with using Google spreadsheets as for data table screenscraping.
So here's a quick summary of (part of) what I found I could do.
The Google spreadsheet function =importHTML("","table",N) will scrape a table from an HTML web page into a Google spreadsheet. The URL of the target web page, and the target table element both need to be in double quotes. The number N identifies the N'th table in the page (counting starts at 0) as the target table for data scraping.
So for example, have a look at the following Wikipedia page – List of largest United Kingdom settlements by population (found using a search on Wikipedia for uk city population – NOTE: URLs (web addresses) and actual data tables may have changed since this post was written, BUT you should be able to find something similar…):
Grab the URL, fire up a new Google spreadsheet, and satrt to enter the formula "=importHTML" into one of the cells:
Autocompletion works a treat, so finish off the expression:
And as if by magic, a data table appears:
All well and good – if you want to create a chart or two, why not try the Google charting tools?
Where things get really interesting, though, is when you start letting the data flow around…
So for example, if you publish the spreadsheet you can liberate the document in a variety of formats:
As well publishing the spreadsheet as an HTML page that anyone can see (and that is pulling data from the WIkipedia page, remember), you can also get access to an RSS feed of the data – and a host of other data formats:
See the "More publishing options" link? Lurvely :-)
Let's have a bit of CSV goodness:
Why CSV? Here's why:
Lurvely… :-)
(NOTE – Google spreadsheets' CSV generator can be a bit crap at times and may require some fudging (and possibly a loss of data) in the pipe – here's an example: When a Hack Goes Wrong… Google Spreadsheets and Yahoo Pipes.)
Unfortunately, the *'s in the element names mess things up a bit, so let's rename them (don't forget to dump the original row of the feed (alternatively, tweak the CSV URL so it starts with row 2); we might as well create a proper RSS feed too, by making sure we at least have a title and description element in there:
Make the description a little more palatable using a regular expression to rewrite the description element, and work some magic with the location extractor block (see how it finds the lat/long co-ordinates, and adds them to each item?;-):
DEPRECATED…. The following image is the OLD WAY of doing this and is not to be recommended…
Geocoding in Yahoo Pipes is done more reliably through the following trick – replace the Location Builder block with a Loop block into which you should insert a Location Builder Block
The location builder will look to a specified element for the content we wish to geocode:
The Location Builder block should be configured to output the geocoded result to the y:location element. NOTE: the geocode often assumes US town/city names. If you have a list of town names that you know come from a given country, you may wish to annotate them with a country identify before you try to geocode them. A regular expression block can do this:
This block says – in the title element, grab a copy of everything – .* – into a variable – (.*) – and then replace the contents of the title element with it's original value – $1 – as well as ", UK" – $1, UK
Note that this regular expression block would need to be wired in BEFORE the geocoding Loop block. That is, we want the geocoder to act on a title element containing "Cambridge, UK" for example, rather than just "Cambridge".
And to top it all off:
And for the encore? Grab the KML feed out of the pipe:
…and shove it in a Google map:
So to recap, we have scraped some data from a wikipedia page into a Google spreadsheet using the =importHTML formula, published a handful of rows from the table as CSV, consumed the CSV in a Yahoo pipe and created a geocoded KML feed from it, and then displayed it in a
YahooGoogle map.
Kewel :-)
PS If you "own" the web page that a table appears on, there is actually quote a lot you can do to either visualise it, or make it 'interactive', with very little effort – see Progressive Enhancement – Some Examples and HTML Tables and the Data Web for more details…
PPS for a version of this post in German, see: http://plerzelwupp.pl.funpic.de/wikitabellen_in_googlemaps/. (Please post a linkback if you've translated this post into any other languages :-)
PPPS this is neat – geocoding in Google spreadsheets itself: Geocoding by Google Spreadsheets.
PPPS Once you have scraped the data into a Google spreadsheet, it's possible to treat it as a database using the QUERY spreadsheet function. For more on the QUERY function, see Using Google Spreadsheets Like a Database – The QUERY Formula and Creating a Winter Olympics 2010 Medal Map In Google Spreadsheets.

Thank you for sharing. That will be very usefull.

Amazing mashup. More importantly the =import function in Google spreadsheets is an amazing tool for building data sets for visualization and mashup projects, thanks for some killer knowledge.

Tony, you did a fine thing indeed! I'd like to see, for example, more transparency in our local government here in Katrineholm, Sweden where all documents (invoices included) with the exception of those involving personal privacy are online. Now, you offer interesting possibilities for information gathering and online publication via Wikipedia and then with Google Docs.
Really, you did an excellent job Tony. Most impressive.
This is really cool, thanks for sharing! :-)
Awesomely nifty! Really good stuff.
Really cool stuff. This is what web 3.0 should be all about. Integrating services.
The disadvantage in having so many pieces is that you have little control over how the flow should update the end results. If you want to publish data real time, you'd want to see it as fast as possible on google/yahoo maps. This is where some more work is needed.
Well done. Just a minor correction. This:
"consumed the CSV in a Yahoo pipe and created a geocoded KML feed from it, and then displayed it in a Yahoo map."
should be:
"consumed the CSV in a Yahoo pipe and created a geocoded KML feed from it, and then displayed it in a GOOGLE map."
Or Yahoo then Google map.
Tried duplicating your example but for some reason i always get a parse error ?
Very cool, thanks for sharing :)
I would like to do something like that with data from Yahoo Finance (and/or other source) for end of day market data (indexes, trading volume, advancing and declining issues, new highs/lows, etc.).
Anyone can/care to help me with that, please get in touch through the contact form on my blog (linked to in this comment, I think, but if not go to http://www.chrisco.us). Would be a paid freelance project, of course.
That's some really excellent work. Great job on the write up as well.
Most populous cities in Africa –
Fun stuff.
how do you make sure the data you are using stays current? for example, if i took it from another website and put it on a map.
As I understand it there are two ways: when you want to update something in google spreadsheets you have to click on the cell with the calculation and press enter, so that it refreshes, or use a cron job to run a script that fiddles with the spreadsheet so that it updates/grabs fresh data (don't ask me if/how that would work)
(I just posted this on Brian's blog, but thought I might as well post it here, given the plaudits that this is attracting…)
Of course, superficially this is fine. But if you start to look at the data, it's rather problematic. I was surprised to see that Manchester was listed as smaller than Bristol, of all places. It was only by going to the Wikipedia page that I understood the way in which the statistics were gathered.
In short, a lot of information has been stripped out in this process. I don't see much in the way of gain. And in fact, it's become very misleading.
Where's the upside?
OK, call me a cynic, but…
Or to put it another way (and in case I didn't sound grumpy and fuddy-duddy enough the first time), the result is a USA Today style graphic, with all the apparent virtues of clarity but the real vices of decontextualized data masquerading as information. Worse, it's framed as a multiple-choice "pop test" as though it had some kind of educational value. It doesn't. It's miseducation.

Well, your mashup recipe provides an excellent case in point of the ways in which data gets used, abused, and inappropriately visualized.
The problem is not with the Wikipedia page, but with the way in which the information it contains has been repackaged.
Again, in devil's advocate role: where's the upside here?

It would be neat to export the chart or map as an image, and import it into the original Wiki page, so that whenever someone updates the table on the Wiki, the map & chart are automatically updated too. I'm sure there are services which will take a screenshot of a web page. I don't know how to export the chart, or if Wikipedia allows images to be on another site.
I think the phrase is 'well impressed'. The bad news is I just wasted two days doing some tedious longhand stuff! Thanks for this post.
[…] Ouseful has posted a demonstration of how Google spreadsheets can scrape and format web data. […]
I think it's worth pointing out that while Google's importHTML is very cool, for many purposes selecting, cutting and pasting a table from a website into a spreadsheet (Excel, OOCalc, or Google Spreedsheets) in the standard manner will the do the job.
While less gee-whizz, it's a bit more approachable, and a strangley overlooked ability. (There are some odd corner cases, particularly if you use Microsoft products, but simply knowing it's possible usually means you'll get there in the end. I find Fireox plus OpenOffice gives the best results and most powerful results. A quick Google suggests there's a Firefox extension for people who find themselves needing to do more)
This is awesome.
Tony, I'm sorry you see this as arguing.
Again, however, it would be great if someone, anyone, could tell me the upside.
[…] This is totally awesome. […]
Tony – I'm glad you mentioned that you had posted a comment on my blog – I had yours and three or four others inexplicably in a junk folder, which I hadn't checked in weeks.
Jon – I took a crack at describing what I see as the upside in response to your comments on my blog, and linked to an article I wrote last year… I suspect it will fail to convince you, but I hope it will give a sense why this is interesting to some of us.
-This could also be useful link http://www.trendrr.com

Well, once you can tell me what's the upside of these "techie mashup tricks," then that would indeed be "kewel."
It would be marvellous if the argument could move on, but it doesn't seem to me that you are willing to look at the issues here.
It's shiny, shiny. And worse than useless: it's positively unhelpful.
No wonder people's heads are exploding. It helps if you don't actually think about what's going on.

Tony, got your comment on my blog. Thanks for the inspiration. I ended up using Pipes to clean up a feed of market information for the game Eve Online, fed it to a Google Spreadsheet, and use it to calculate profit margins on the production of pretend ships and pretend guns.
Here's my pipe and here's a snapshot of the spreadsheet it feeds.
Not really a *real* application, but its certainly useful within the pretend world of Eve.
Chris: I love your pipe, not sure how to use it yet though. I started today thinking I would find a way to get up-to date prices for materials needed for POS operation.
I think where i'm stuck on is where to find the typeID of the item i'm looking for. My spread sheet is set up at the moment but not sure how to pull the info in.
[…] Data Scraping Wikipedia with Google Spreadsheets […]
Tony, I think that the basic issue is that what you regard as "BORING" seems to me to be rather fundamental. Indeed, it seems rather clearly to be a way of avoiding asking the question of "the consequences of mashups."
Yes, you've given an example. And I'm now asking about the consequences of this process. I think that, certainly for this example, they are uniformly negative. Which is why I was asking if there were any upside to this representation of a partial, decontextualized dataset in a new environment. Again, I still see no advantages, while I see many, many disadvantages.
No doubt you'll think I'm exaggerating, but I think that this post, and the reaction to it, is profoundly discouraging. I'm sorry to be the drag on the "kewel" party by talking about what's so damn "BORING." But it seems to me to be important. I've written up some further thoughts here.
[…] Потрясающие вещи можно делать современными веб-инструментами, если грамотно их применить, Data Scraping Wikipedia with Google Spreadsheets […]
And perhaps finally, at least for now, a quick response to your points here…
1) I think the issue is about more than provenance, though providing provenance would certainly be a leap forward. We're agreed on that. We also agreed that at least some mashups can "strip provenance info and context away from data." But I should make it clear that I'm not against mashups per se. Some can definitely enhance rather than degrade both data and understanding. But I do think that this question (as to whether there is enhancement or degradation, or more generally the effects of the various transformations undergone in a mashup process) needs to be front and central at all times. It would seem that that's our basic disagreement: you want to postpone that until some unspecified later date; for now it's "BORING" and beside the point. Again, I strongly disagree. Postponing such questions is (as I say on my blog) a textbook case of data illiteracy. Moreover, I'm disappointed that enthusiasm is allowed to overwhelm critique so easily.
2) I like interesting presentations, too. I disagree that thinking critically is necessarily boring. And I don't like presentations that are whizzy but lack substance.
3) I'd like to believe that "value generating and information displaying enterprise mashups are arguably on the way." I think, however, that the links you provided are rather worrying examples of quite the opposite trend: "there is plenty of money to be made selling mashup platforms. . . . Those vendor strategists that move quickly, plan a mashup strategy, and build a partner ecosystem will come out on top". Ugh. That's certainly a different definition of "value" than the one I would hope might come out of such tools. Ugh. And learning should be fun. But all that is fun is not learning.
4) Techie stuff can certainly be bewildering. It makes some people's heads explode. Hence the vital importance of critical data literacy, precisely so that people "start to think about what's going on, there is some deeper stuff in there; like what sort of processing is going on in a 'mashup', and what the risks are." I'm all for this.
5) See above for my fear as to what you may mean by getting "value" from data. Meanwhile, my more basic point is that it's not so much a question of having quality data or not: I'm happy to accept that for this purposes the Wikipedia data is of sufficient quality. What's at stake is the ability to interpret that data. Again, that's what I consider to be the realm of data literacy. I'm sure that some mashups, and some transformations, aid in such interpretation. Others do not. But figuring out which is which is, again, vital. It can't be postponed.
6) Finally, I'm all for a "visualisation education programme." But again, my comparison with the USA Today visualizations is to point out that such education needs to have critique at its core. Not necessarily enthusiasm. Or rather, surely the point is to encourage enthusiasm for critique. That's what I see my job, at least, as being about. More broadly, as I say, it's what I see as being the role of the university.
Ach, I just wrote a long comment in response to your six points. It seems to have got lost somewhere. Oh well.

I would love to know if there is a way to flatten nested tables e.g. table>tr>td*3>table>tr>td*2 would become talbe>tr>td*4 (hope you understand this zen html syntax) nested tables are a mess!

On the occasion of our 100th anniversary in 2013, we reflected on our past accomplishments and worked with the global community to highlight the innovations that will help poor or vulnerable people throughout the world over the next 100 years.
Issues that were once largely confined to individual nations or regions — such as climate change and urbanization — now are clearly global in character. Technology has accelerated change across the planet and altered the way people live. Citizen movements are compelling reforms that were unimaginable only a short time ago.
Solutions to today's challenges involve a complex mix of actors that include governments, nonprofits, foundations, civil society and the business sector in major new ways.
Amid these seismic global shifts, our Centennial initiative, like all of our work, focused on the fact that today's global shocks — food and water shortages, energy volatility, financial uncertainties and more — demonstrate that crises are becoming more complex and globally interdependent across sectors and geographies. Old solutions and approaches appear less and less successful, and vulnerable populations are increasingly exposed to these shocks in ways that push their coping abilities to dangerous limits.
In the face of these 21st century realities, achieving the Foundation's overall goal to build resilience and more equitable growth, especially for poor and vulnerable people, relies in part on our commitment to a continuing search for, and openness to, new ideas and new ways of building solutions to these complex crises. The activities that formed our Centennial program — the convenings, social media platforms, search and challenge grantmaking, and analysis of lessons learned from our first 100 years and the work of others — are designed to enable that approach to reach its full breadth and potential.
Our centennial was also a moment to look ahead, to analyze which global issues will dominate the next decade and beyond, and to sculpt new ideas for addressing them. In building resilience and more equitable growth, our Centennial was a chance to consider what we have accomplished, but even more urgently to strategize for the future, always anticipating trends and leading the way to the solutions of tomorrow.
At the same time, new global trends have produced a reflective period for philanthropy as foundations chart new approaches to bring about change. This presents a unique opportunity to facilitate the effective growth of philanthropy in the Global North and South while enhancing our own work. The days in which The Rockefeller Foundation could act alone to effect major changes are over. Today, partnerships enhance our impact. We particularly welcome the fact that economic progress in the Global South has brought its own philanthropies that provide valuable resources and welcome new perspectives to serve the needs of the poor and vulnerable.
'' Innovation must be at the heart of our work. ''
In addressing these modern challenges, we believe for The Rockefeller Foundation that innovation must be at the heart of our work. Innovation made possible the chartering of the Foundation in 1913. It enabled the establishment of the field of public health, the Green Revolution in agriculture, and the development of Impact Investing today. And innovation in its modern forms is the key to solving many of today's problems as well, including building resilience and more equitable growth. That is why finding and supporting innovations that will make an impact over the next 100 years will be the central component of all of our Centennial activities.

Wife-Carrying Races (crdit: Joonas Hukkanen/AFP/Getty Images) This list comes from Ishaan Thardoors story in TIME, and he writes: "The Wife-Carrying World Championships are held every year in a small town in Finland. The race may be done in good spirits, but it's channeling generations of oafish hubris and sexual slavery. That's not quite something worth cheering for."

American Football (credit: Bob Levey/Getty Images) Ishaan Thardoors writes: "To an outsider like your humble scribe, the U.S.'s most heavily marketed sport seems a Hobbesian parable — play on the field is nasty, brutish and comically short. The number of recent incidents of ex-players' dying of mysterious brain injuries ought to have raised enough alarm." 8. The Hunt (credit: Matt Cardy/Getty Images) Ishaan Thardoors writes: "The tradition of the hunt perseveres, both in the form of utterly needless, twee spectacles like this and purer, more elemental examples of what hunting is really all about — like clubbing baby seals." 7. Poker (credit: ROBYN BECK/AFP/Getty Images) Ishaan Thardoors writes: "Some say it's just a fun card game, particularly useful in film scenes brimming with tension and metaphorical meaning. But poker is no innocent bystander. With its addictive online mega-industry, poker now commands an enormous slice of the world's gambling revenues." 6. Golf (credit: Jamie Squire/Getty Images) Ishaan Thardoors writes: "A sport in which the only person getting any exercise is the guy who has to carry your clubs for you." 5. Bullfighting (credit: PASCAL GUYOT/AFP/Getty Images) Ishaan Thardoors writes: "Since the dawn of civilization, human beings have entertained themselves by making animals fight." 4. Boxing (credit: Ethan Miller/Getty Images) Ishaan Thardoors writes: "For every champion prizefighter, there are countless others wrestling with the headaches and traumas of a career brutally played out in the cacophonous din of the ring." 3. Camel Racing (credit: ABDELHAK SENNA/AFP/Getty Images) Ishaan Thardoors writes: "Beyond the fact that all races involving animals carry a certain element of cruelty, camel racing has a particularly notorious legacy of recruiting young boys, in some cases children abducted and trafficked from destitute villages in South Asia, to be jockeys." 2. Female Gymnastics (credit: VIKTOR DRACHEV/AFP/Getty Images) Ishaan Thardoors writes: "Olympic-level, elite female gymnastics are spectacles of ethereal grace and poise. But they're built on a foundation of brutality. To win a gold medal, girls have to retain a childlike slenderness, develop rubber for bones and accept a life in a veritable boot camp from as early as the age of 4." 1. Soccer (credit: George Frey/Getty Images) Ishaan Thardoors writes: "No other sport comes close to commanding such universal love and devotion. More than religion, it is the true opiate of the 21st century's masses. In return, though, what does soccer give its legions of fans? For most, just misery and frustration."

This is why I hate those "the drivers are not mature yet" guys. You can actually judge a card based on its initial showing: that's pretty much the performance you'll get. If there are serious bugs (like in this review), they stand out by themselves.
Phoronix: AMD's Catalyst Evolution For The Radeon HD 7000 Series
It used to be -- at least when using the Windows Catalyst drivers -- that within the first few months of AMD releasing new Radeon graphics hardware that Catalyst driver optimizations would deliver measurable improvements in this short span. For the Radeon HD 7000 series, which is built upon an entirely new GCN architecture, is this still the case? Here are benchmarks of all the AMD Catalyst Linux drivers that have been released this year and then benchmarked on an AMD Radeon HD 7950 graphics card.
This is why I hate those "the drivers are not mature yet" guys. You can actually judge a card based on its initial showing: that's pretty much the performance you'll get. If there are serious bugs (like in this review), they stand out by themselves.
Where can we find fglrx 9.0.0 ?
I might be completely wrong here; but wasn't it said GCN is much easier to program for in
terms of shader compiler optimizations than previous architectures?
If so, that may explain why performance figures do not differ significantly between driver revisions.
I would highly suggest to rethink this kind of tests. >400 fps what in hell tells us such a result? Nothing! I know there not many demanding current games out there. So at least quality enhancing features should be activated by default for such tests. I mean super sampling anti-aliasing and such stuff. The cards must be used to their capacity! In general it should be investigated if there are more demanding OpenGL benchmarks out there available for Linux. WINE is not an option because of the fast development of this project which also my encompass performance changes due to optimizations regarding WINE and not the display driver. Overall its not easy but testing an 8 years old game like Doom 3 doesn't tell us anything. At least there are very demanding graphics mods out there for Doom 3 which may be compatible with the Linux version. Then this would be an option.
Here is a link to an interesting Doom 3 Mod which enhances the graphics: http://www.moddb.com/mods/cverdzislav
Maybe Unigine Heaven would be a good test ?
Has the OpenCL performance changed much on these cards?
Oh yeah Unigine Heaven is available for Linux and seems to be a good choice. @Michael Include this in ur next benchmarks, plz.
Phoronix must never test the official closed drivers again, you seem ridiculous doing that. Radeon7000 has 4Tflops@32bit wile Kepler has 3.5Tflops@64bit or 7Tflops@32bit(1cuda-core has 2 ALUs). Kepler is 70+% faster than Radeon7000 and twice than Fermi. There is a reason why in benchmarks is only 20% faster than Radeon7000 and 40% than Fermi: When you have 2*GPUs you only have +50% performance, thats not because they don't scale well (thats idiotic and impossible for stream processing), but because the driver turns in quality and precision mode. The loser company uses this trick against Unigine for example, to gain more frames wile losing quality. The benchmark is unable to measure the quality difference, because the benchmark speaks to driver and not directly to hardware. Nvidia has done in the past exactly what AMD does today, when the gtx7800(24pixel processors) it was 20% faster than x1900(48pixel processors). Then all benchmarks changed and gtx7950(2*gtx7800) was 20% faster, wile Nvidia threatens Microsoft that they develop their own API because D3D helps Radeon.

quote:Arkansas John L. Smith status: Done Likely candidates: Gary Patterson. We wrote last month that we were hearing AD Jeff Long was strong on Patterson and now that story is only growing louder. Check the web and you'll quickly find that Patterson is building a house in the Fort Worth area, but if he sees Arkansas as a better and better-paying situation than the one he's got at TCU, you can forget the house thing. He can afford to build a bigger house in Fayetteville if need be. We've been told "this one is all but done." Negotiations can always blow up and deals can always fall through. We know that. But if there's no fire with the Patterson-to-Arkansas talk, then Long has put out one of the best smokescreens ever. Patterson said today of the Arkansas rumors: "I don't think there's anything to that." How's that for a non-denial denial? Tommy Tuberville — an Arkansas native — is also interested in the Razorback job. Very interested.

quote:Arkansas - We're told the Razorbacks are zeroing in on a hire. TCU coach Gary Patterson is the flavor of the week, but we're told Mike Gundy remains in the mix, along with two or three other candidates.
