The solution is actually fairly simple. Instead of starting from the bottom up and systemizing the work entirely, start from the top down.
First, determine general workflows. Give your employees a solid grasp of their job descriptions and how to complete their duties without holding back their creativity. Once you have high-level processes in place, then you can build more specific templates, tools and other time-saving tricks. This is helpful for tasks, like categorizing sales leads, which should have little deviation and require less creativity.
2. Don't write a reference, implement a tool
You still might be tempted to simply write an operations manual and call it a day. The problem is that your team's day-to-day work remains creative and flexible. Few will be taking the time to refer back to the operations manual. Even if they have it memorized, busy people often miss steps or cut corners by accident.
The second lesson to overcoming the S-Myth is making sure your system is a tool your people use to manage their work, not a reference they ignore or forget. The cloud has made it easier to combine business processes with daily tracking tools (such as for sales, projects and tasks). Choose a product that allows you to customize the key phases, processes and rules you map out. Then require your team to actually use it.
3. Take control through chaos
Once your business is run by a system, and your people use it as a productivity tool, you can overcome the biggest S-Myth of all – running a professional services business means surrendering to chaos and just hoping for the best.

THREE letters beamed across a lab bench may spark a wireless revolution. A transmission of "IBM" was received by the first working radio chip to be made from graphene – sheets of carbon, each just one atom thick.
In 2011, IBM researchers made a radio microchip with graphene transistors, but placing necessary metal components on top of the transistors damaged them, and the chip could not receive a signal.
With funding from the US Pentagon's defence research arm, Shu-Jen Han's team at IBM's lab in Yorktown Heights, New York, found a way to put the metal parts on the chip first and then add the transistors. The device worked perfectly, they claim (Nature Communications, doi.org/q9k).
The graphene-based circuit uses less power than normal chips, making it attractive for use in wearable radio devices wanted for the US military.

The No-Show
Edward Snowden missed the flight to Havana. I didn't.
- By Anna NemtsovaAnna Nemtsova is a Moscow-based correspondent for Newsweek and the Daily Beast, covering Russia and the former Soviet states. She is also the winner of the 2012 Persephone Miel Fellowship. Reporting for this piece was made possible by a grant from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.
HAVANA — We're waiting for you in Havana, Snowden. Are you on your way?
It's still unclear what happened on Monday, June 24, the day after leaker Edward Snowden arrived in Moscow from Hong Kong. That day, Snowden was supposed to board a plane to Havana to then transfer to Ecuador, one of the very few places willing to shield him from the American officials who regard him as a traitor. He even had a boarding pass for the window seat in row F, in economy class. But he never showed up, and his seat stayed empty.
Was Snowden trapped in the transit zone of Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport against his will by the Russian security service, curious to see the data he had in his computers? Or was he afraid of flying in a plane that could be grounded while passing over the United States, where American courts were waiting to lock him up in jail for over 30 years? Until the very moment the Aeroflot crew closed the plane's door, it looked like he was coming: Russian police surrounded Gate 28, patrolling outside and inside the airplane. The crew members on the plane looked tense and upset, as if they were facing a horrible trial. We still don't know what happened at the last moment, but in the end Snowden stayed in Moscow.
I was on that plane, waiting for him along with several dozen other journalists from international news agencies and TV channels, all of us eager to quiz him about his claims. I wanted to ask Snowden about the evidence he had to prove his claims that the U.S. and British intelligence agencies, despite their governments' public advocacy for freedom of the Internet, had been spying and stealing tons of personal data from people in their home countries.
For a long time, after we took off, we still could not believe that Snowden was not among us: After all, who knew what disguise he might be using? (This might seem a bit less crazy when you consider that we just saw an American spy wearing a wig last month.) Trapped on the flight for 12 hours, journalists walked around the plane looking into every passenger's face. Other reporters were already waiting to greet Snowden in Cuba. They looked for him inside and outside Havana's airport, asking every young blond male if he was Snowden. I'm still hoping to meet up with Snowden here in Havana, though Ecuadorean diplomats now say it may take months to issue him political asylum.
There's one very specific reason Snowden may be having trouble finding a way out of the Moscow airport's transit lounge, where he apparently is right now: his papers. Right now the only travel document he has is one of dubious status issued by the Ecuadoreans. After the American authorities canceled his U.S. passport on Monday, no airline wants to sell him another plane ticket. (He apparently managed to buy his ticket for Havana while his passport was still valid.)
There are other theories. "He got frightened that Americans would bring him down on that plane," says Igor Bunin, a Moscow political analyst. "He's a huge pain for the Kremlin, a Catch-22. Now that he's turned into an anti-American government star, Russia can't kick him out, but keeping him means even a bigger international scandal." I'd love to ask Snowden about his days and nights in Russia if I ever get the chance to meet him.
My friend Olga Bychkova, a host from radio Echo of Moscow, described a scene she witnessed in the airport's transit zone on the day of Snowden's arrival on Sunday. "I saw about 20 Russian officials, supposedly FSB [security service] agents in suits, crowding around somebody in a restricted area of the airport," Bychkova told me. "The Kremlin pretends they have nothing to do with him being stuck in Moscow, but in reality they're all over him."
What's up Mr. Snowden? Do you really hate reporters? If you're "a free man," as President Vladimir Putin says, why hide from crowds of journalists waiting to talk to you in Sheremetyevo airport for three days? WikiLeaks claims that you — the biggest leaker in the history of the National Security Agency — are "in a safe place." If you're safe and free, why didn't you use your ticket last Monday? You would have had a great chance to explain the reasons for renouncing your wealthy life with a beautiful girlfriend. Just imagine: 12 hours in front of the world's major networks on the flight to Cuba! Russian commentators think that you're not as free as the Russian leader claims, that somebody did not allow you to fly Monday. "Snowden will fly out of Russia when the Kremlin decides he can go," says Moscow political analyst Dmitry Oreshkin. "He might not even be in the airport. The safest place would be a GRU [Russian military intelligence] apartment." That would also explain why no one has seen your face in Moscow yet.

I don't think I've ever come close to tears reading an ST novel, but Fischer's taking time at her memorial to catch her up with what had been happening got me awfully close.
I actually thought that part was the oddest thing. I didn't remember him at all, so the way he was mentioned and everyone on the page not only recognized him, but was apparently very close to him was disconcerting, like I'd missed a book or something. It reminded me of Half-Life 2, Episode 2, where Dr. Magnusson is suddenly introduced to the cast as if he had been there the whole time.

Do New Yorkers Want to Know Who is 'Nextdoor'?
Wednesday, August 21, 2013
This blog post is by New Tech City host Manoush Zomorodi.
Susan Fox founded Park Slope Parents 11 years ago because she was tired of seeing old exersaucers and bouncy seats put out with the trash.
As a new parent, she realized that selling or giving away these plastic monstrosities wouldn't be too hard if she set up a system, so she created a Yahoo! Group and spread the word.
Every time she would go to a stoop sale with kids stuff, she'd sign people up. Her neighbor signed up the 40 members of her mommy group, and they got their neighbors on board too.
"It takes a while," she said. "We started very slowly. After the first year I think we had 150 people. The next year we had 400 people."
Now Park Slope Parents is one of the biggest online communities in Brooklyn with more than 5,000 active members. The site has dozens of subgroups, helping parents with everything from career networking to figuring out how much to pay a nanny.
I visited Susan to pick her brain and get advice on how to get more people to sign up for a service called Nextdoor, a sort of Facebook for neighborhoods that has been partnering with New York City since June.
Nextdoor was co-founded by Nirav Tolia in 2010. Now CEO, Nirav said he and his co-founders noticed there was no social network for neighborhoods.
So far, Nextdoor doesn't have ads and cities don't pay to use it, but more than 17,000 sites have been launched across the country since it went live in 2011.
Tolia takes pains to mention that these sites are private and that they verify people's addresses.
"These are private neighborhood websites, just for your specific neighborhood where you know that the other people you are communicating with are your actual neighbors," he said.
According to Tolia, Nextdoor isn't about organizing a block party: It's about keeping your neighborhood safe, sharing referrals and consolidating all the notices that the city sends out digitally.
The startup's goal seems to be to become a sort of digital Yellow Pages, but first it will need to sign people up. In the six weeks since I became a member, only five of my neighbors have joined.
Listen to my quest to get more neighbors signed up on this week's New Tech City. We explore whether the transient nature of New Yorkers and their love of anonymity might make Nextdoor a tough sell here.
At the end of the day, I'm left wondering whether it could it take another Sandy (God forbid) to get this service off the ground.

I think New York has gotten a bad reputation for being "cold and impersonal." I also think alot of folks migrate to big cities to escape something or someone and are caught up in their reality of NYC.
I am taking more risks connecting with people all over the city whereever and whenever including those not from my hood or block. I know very few on my block. There are plenty of New Yorkers who are open to connecting and sharing a moment, if no more than a smile, greeting, or chat. There are plenty of those who make it clear they would rather not, so don't even try it.
Personally I value community and connecting when possible, while respecting boundaries and privacy. I think it more natural and healthy to be social.
I am a native of Brooklyn. When I was growing up we didn't have websites or apps to help us to be neighbors. Our parents sat out on their stoops and watched us kids play while they talked to each other. We would listen to them share stories about our roots and how they migrated to NY from the South and Caribbean. They would chat with neighbors who passed through our block from the train station on their way home from work. They listened to us while they prepared dinner and could sense when something was wrong.
Our dad's talked baseball scores and when they hit our street corner coming home from work or parked the car, we rushed to them for hugs. When my sister needed a tutor, my best friend's mother a teacher recommended someone. When the artist moved in next door, my mother got him to show me his work and teach me techniques. I traded comic books with the mother of one of my younger brother's friends. Now, my neighbors, not the old timers like me and my husband, or the family in 3A whose son has autism and we all look out for, or the neighbors who take your packages in when your are not home, but the new neighbors who avert their eyes in the elevator and who look like they would much rather tolerate moments of awkward and unnecessary silence than simply say, 'Hello neighbor."
You don't need and app, a Facebook group, etc. you just need to talk to your neighbors.
Many communities in Vermont have been using a service called Front Porch Forum, which is very similar to Next Door, for years. Mostly, it's an email service, where you send an email to FPF and they send an email or digest to the other people in your neighborhood. It's been rather successful, but it doesn't have a "national" aim - it's going for a small, neighborhood to neighborhood spread.
I think neighborhood online communities are great for civic related events and issues but are only useful when there is an issue. These types of sites aim to replace local newspapers and local radio but dont offer the type of content that makes us want to tune in to hear our favorite talk host or read our favorite writer who has a good perspective on our local area.
I have lived in New York for over 30 years and have lived in buildings both large and small and in my opinion, the most relevant community of all would be one created for the building that I live in. I have more in common with neighbors down the hall than the neighbors around the corner and ironically most of my neighbors down the hall are still complete strangers.
In the late 70s, early 80s, our block in Park Slope/downtown Brooklyn had an association that met regularly to discuss specific issues related to crime, sanitation, parking, tree planting, etc. We were both active and activist and managed to get quite a lot done. Eventually, there were fewer pressing issues and the association gradually disbanded.
About a year ago, with the opening of Barclay's Center a couple of blocks away, a young woman on our block started a Google group for the block. People post messages about a number of issues, many not that different from years ago. Initially, they were concerned about the impact of the arena on parking, but there have been postings on crime (there have been a number of mailbox breakins recently), missing pets, etc. Sounds pretty similar to Nextdoor. The group seems to be serving the same purpose as our old block association--except now there are some neighbors that I know but wouldn't recognize if I met them on the street.

HOUSTON A newly released video from a witness shows a clearer picture of what happened during last week s shootout between an armed man and police in downtown Houston s Tranquility Park.
Police said Joshua Anthony Twohig, dressed in a business suit and armed with an assault rifle, walked into Tranquility Park in downtown Houston around 5:10 p.m. last Monday and started shooting into the air and a nearby fountain.
David Loeser captured the entire incident on video. The Houston Police Department took his camera moments after the shooting and he just got it back.
I started it up as soon as he shot into the water and I realized that was real bullets, he said.
The video shows Twohig standing on a bridge near the park s fountains and pond. Loeser captured the scene as officers told Twohig to drop his weapon. Twohig refused, instead shooting once into the pond and then pointing the gun to his head.
Police said Twohig screamed, Shoot me! Shoot me!
When Twohig made hostile advances toward the officers, they opened fire. The video shows Twohig falling to the ground, but then getting up again and reaching for his rifle. At that point, the officers fired again, and Twohig went back down.
Moments later, U.S. Deputy Marshals arrived and helped take Twohig into custody.
The 21-year-old has a long history of mental illness and was diagnosed bipolar, and schizophrenic, his family said. His wife said he had been showing signs of trouble for months.
I think everything just bottled up and he just exploded. He wasn t there to hurt anybody.He even said he would not hurt anybody, Bianca Twohig said.
She said her husband chose the Occupy Houston protest in Tranquility Park because he knew police would be there quick.
He wanted to pretty much end his own life, she said.
Joshua Twohig was still in Ben Taub hospital Monday night recovering from surgery to repair the ankle shattered by one of the three shots that hit him. He faces charges of attempted aggravated assault of a peace officer.

The authentic spin on Milwaukee's DJ and hip-hop scene
Free showing of the music documentary "Wattstax" tomorrow evening
Tomorrow, a free viewing of the documentary Wattstax will be held at the Brotherhood of Firefighters Hall at 6pm. It's the 40th anniversary of the film which focused on the 1972 Wattstax music festival and the African American community of Watts in Los Angeles, California.
The concert was held at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on August 20, 1972, and organized by Memphis's Stax Records to commemorate the seventh anniversary of the Watts riots. Wattstax was seen by some as "the African-American answer to Woodstock". There were performances by The Dramatics, The Bar-Kays, Luther Ingram, Johnnie Taylor, Rufus Thomas, Isaac Hayes, The Staple Singers, Kim Weston, and The Stax Golden 13.
The accompany the music are discussions and interviews about the social and racial issues that were going on and still go on to this day. To enable as many members of the black community in L.A. to attend as possible, tickets were sold for only $1.00 each.
If you have some free time tomorrow, you definitely need to check this out and edutain yourself on some important music history. A friend of mine recently posed the question, "Is music just entertainment?" Well, sometimes it is, but in cases like this, it proves that it's much more.

Recommendations made in the report included modifying the environment to affect people's choices, such as availability of high-fat, low-fiber foods and sweetened drinks, adequate sidewalks and areas for physical activity, availability of public transportation and more.
"For example, urban planners can play an important role by making cities that don't require so much driving," said Ayoob.
Changes like these may take much of the burden off individuals struggling with obesity, giving them more of a chance to overcome their weight problems.
"Think about the alternative to a population-based approach; so far we don't have treatments that are really effective, and the number of obese is so high that you can't get to everyone soon enough," said Kumanyika. "By doing things at the policy level -- such as healthier meals in schools, smaller food portion sizes in restaurants, sidewalks in communities, et cetera -- you reach more people faster."
And a widespread approach could go a long way in creating a social environment in which healthy living is the norm.
"You need to create a culture where you are the odd man or woman out to take the elevator," says Katz.

August 11, 2014 marked a historic day for urban planning and governance in India with Mumbai leading the way. For the first time since Independence, a municipal corporation, namely the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM), initiated public consultations at the ward level during the process of preparing the city's development plan.
A Development Plan (DP), simply put, is a spatial map on which land is earmarked for specific purposes in accordance with a particular imagined future. In Mumbai, the process and formulation of the DP every 20 years is mandated under the Maharashtra Regional & Town Planning Act. What the MCGM has done is pioneering because it expands the planning process by opening up the new DP (valid from 2014-34) to public participation in the preparation stage itself rather than after the final draft has been prepared, as specified in the Act. This is to be commended because it starts from the premise of what is good planning rather than restricting itself to what is specified by our outdated Town Planning Acts.
Since there were no clear precedents for how to conceive of such a public participation process, it was a process of 'learning by doing' with the MCGM and a number of civil society groups playing a key role in responding to and pressuring the other. The MCGM started with opening up the existing land use maps to the public for verification in 2012. Thereafter the Standing Committee Chairperson took the initiative to call a public meeting to discuss the maps. Over the next few months various groups started organizing under the banner Hamara Shehar Vikas Niyojan Abhiyan Mumbai. This city-wide campaign aimed to bring together research institutions, NGOs, CBOs and citizen-activists with the agenda of sustaining the process of participation in urban planning. In October 2013 the campaign released the People's Vision for Mumbai at Azad Maidan; with the help of the Standing Committee Chairperson a contingent from the campaign met the Municipal Commissioner to demand for inclusion of this vision in the DP. In November, the Municipal Commissioner called for a meeting with a select set of invitees to initiate dialogue on the Preparatory Studies. At its conclusion, invitees, including campaign members, called for more open and deeper public participation. The MCGM agreed to organize a series of 14 thematic consultations in partnership with various city organizations through December 2013 and January 2014.
Thematic discussions enabled deeper understanding on important themes such as housing. The campaign played a significant role in building understanding on themes that were not traditionally approached within the planning discourse, such as issues of informal sector workers and indigenous people's settlements. Thematic meetings also strived to be more accessible by holding presentations in Marathi/Hindi, unlike the presentation in English at the November meeting. In a bid toward transparency, all meetings were recorded by the MCGM.
But in a city as diverse and unequal as Mumbai public participation is best achieved at the local level. The recently concluded public consultations at the ward level (Aug 11- 21) were an outcome of follow-up and homework done by MCGM and campaign groups, and represent a step further in institutionalizing mechanisms for public participation in urban planning. The ward level consultations had a common format – two videos were screened, one on existing land use and various growth scenarios in the city and one on existing status of the ward thus giving city-level context and ward-level detail. Suggestions were then invited from the public either through speaking out or by noting down which areas require specific services in an amenity assessment form.
Despite having a common format, in practice ward consultations have played out very differently. Some have resulted in a flood of useful suggestions with many people being given a chance to speak while in others submitting the assessment form was emphasized. This variation is largely due to the different initiative and commitment to genuine participation shown by key officials - the Assistant Commissioner of the ward and the DP Officials present. Striking differences in issues raised have been observed, with class being a clear marker. While poorer wards focus on basic needs including schools and health facilities, richer wards are distinguished by the amount of time spent discussing parking and roads. Notably, open space provision is a concern that cuts across all wards. As for who is participating in these ward-level consultations, while this depends on the profile of the ward it seems to predominantly be older men. This reflects our male-dominated society. Working people also find it hard to participate in consultations that are held in the middle of the day (11-2pm).
Reviewing the past two years, the space created for participation seems to have enabled a space for expanding organizing around civic issues and for social learning that cuts across class, neighborhood, public and private. This is important in our increasingly fragmented and polarized city. Two factors have been critical for this. First, the process had credibility because MCGM was willing to engage in public participation and be responsive to concerns raised and this made participation worthwhile for people. This political innovation is particularly noteworthy given that public institutions are characterized by opaque and non-participatory cultures. Second, participants especially poorer ones received support from the campaign that helped in coordination and understanding complex and contested issues.
Clearly people participated in the DP process seeing it as means to the goal of access to land, services and amenities they consider vital; therefore, focusing on the process of participation in planning is definitely important. However, it is in incorporation of the suggestions being put forth that the real test of participation lies. For this to be successful, the collaboration between MCGM and city groups needs to expand to cover other public agencies and committees that are involved in planning for the city.
The MCGM is receiving written suggestions on the DP till September 15th. Suggestions can be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com

A full week of edits from one trip? With this crew, you're damn right: Cory Kennedy, Grant Taylor, Raven Tershy, Raney Beres, Ronnie Sandoval and Pat McClain. Even we can't wait to see the final edit on these.
Grant, Raven, and Raney continue their Georgian destruction with a scorching pit session. Fire Walk with Me...
A good ramp session always involves skaters pushing each other, but this one gets wild. Grant, Raven, Raney, Plunkett and others do some sick transfers and wall-crawls. Thanks for the trip, guys.
The crew dissects the unique moonscape at Grant's place and then they really cut loose and go warp speed on some gigantic concrete waves.
The Big Dog flew down South and captured Grant, Raven, Raney and the homies decimating the Kennesaw park. There's more to this ATL excursion. This is only Part 1...

The whole Lower Bobs crew put in some serious blood, sweat, and beers here. Long live the DIY and a big cheers to everyone who made it happen!
Every team had fun this year, but Chocolate really had a blast. Here's a bunch of outtakes and extra angles.
The stoke and delirium combine as Chocolate nears the end. Here's a gnarly pool roll-in session, tech madness, filmer hijinx, a Too $hort cameo, and Cory Kennedy continues to rip while gaining no points.
It's rad how Chocolate has evolved into such an all-terrain team over the years. Here they skate deep pits, ledges, rails, and there's even a red curb session.
The fives flow like Coors with rooftop Vinsanity, 10-legged downhill and less-than-shy sheboarders. Chocolate KOTR, still in Denver.
Elijah Berle shows his ATV abilities, Stevie Perez battles a backlip shove-it, and the filmer makes a love connection with a girl who has a probation ankle monitor.
Chocolate starts off with an unreal bank-to-wall session, Stevie Perez gets 10 tricks on one handrail, Vincent Alvarez makes everything look good, and Raven gets a wild barefoot boneless.
Oh. Shit. Here we go. Chocolate vs. Real vs. Birdhouse vs. Enjoi. Webisodes start Monday, Jan 6. These are gonna be good.

If you're going to fix them, then yes, pop them. The reason I asked about how many is if there's only a couple, I for one might just ignore them. If you're not going to do the repair until the Spring, popping them now is kinda up to you. It's hard for me to tell from the video, but they don't seem bad. You'll definitely want a 2 part Epoxy resin and hardener. I'd use a filler to get it kinda like silly putty, as the gravitation will be pulling downward. The key, I think, is to create a "bowl" around the blister, deeper in the center to gradually meeting the original hull. That will make for a smoother, less noticeable fix. If you've ever done drywall work, it's very similar to filling a nail hole with putty. The shallower you can get the outside ring, the smoother the finish and less sanding at the end. Probably need to use a grinder to get the bad out before starting the fix. I'd imagine it's not something you can hand sand for sure.
By the way, I've seen some of those blisters really "burst" open when popped so act accordingly. Safety goggles are cheap (a lot less that a trip to the ER) and that stuff coming out is ugly.

Cecilia Parlatore Siritto (Working), Fragility in Money Market Funds: Sponsor Support and Regulation. Abstract
Links: CV, Personal Website
I develop an equilibrium model of U.S. money market funds (MMFs) and use it to analyze the effect of recently proposed regulations on the liquidity provided by these funds and their fragility. The model captures some of the key institutional features of MMFs, such as the "breaking the buck" liquidation rule and voluntary sponsor support, and it is consistent with several stylized facts identified in the literature on MMFs. In the model, the MMF industry may be prone to runs different from the canonical bank runs. These are not runs of investors on the MMFs but of the MMFs on the asset market. Moreover, the model shows that, even in a stylized setup, the policy analysis is complex. Regulation affects the payoffs from intermediation not only directly, but also through the fees, the sponsors' support decision, and asset prices, all of which are determined in equilibrium. The model takes into account general equilibrium effects that are not present in the current policy discussion and shows that they can overturn conventional intuition.
I analyze how the precision of information about the value of a bank's assets affects welfare and the economy's proneness to bank runs. In a model of banking with imperfect information, I find that more precise information need not be better: it may make an economy more fragile in the sense that bank runs are more likely to occur, and it may decrease welfare. When the transparency level is low, late consumers cannot distinguish bad states from good states based on their signal, and they have no incentives to withdraw early. As the transparency level increases, signals become more informative and incentives to withdraw early become stronger, increasing fragility and decreasing welfare.
I study a model in which banks need to borrow to make risky loans whose return is private information known only by the bank which made the loan. Banks cannot raise funds without either selling assets or pledging them as collateral. I show that collateral contracts arise endogenously even though all agents value the asset the same in autarky. The persistence of the need to borrow and the ability to make a profit from loans imply that banks will value the asset more than the lenders. On top of paying dividends, the asset resolves the banks' maturity mismatch problem and, since it is used as collateral, it relaxes a borrowing constraint. The amount that can be borrowed against the asset is determined in equilibrium. I show that increases in risk may decrease the asset's debt capacity and, thus, the level of intermediation in the economy.

John Gilchrist: Starbelly a fresh new restaurant option in Calgary's deep southeastNot long ago, Seton was 365 acres of farmland, a piece of prairie filled with canola, barley and gophers south of Highway 22X just east of Deerfoot Trail. Then, a chunk of it was designated for the new
Are suburban cyclists being forgotten in Calgary's bike plans?With so much talk these days about creating bicycle infrastructure in and around the downtown -- a network of cycle tracks is being planned by the city (expected to be before city council in the fall)
We Shouldn't Do SuburbsWords matter. We learned that in kindergarten. We should keep that in mind when we're arguing for how to plan a city. In November an author argued in the Calgary Herald for "smart growth.

Where are Calgary's transit deserts?So, we hear that Mahogany will soon no longer be the only 500+ home new community without a single transit spot nearby. But there are other transit deserts — those far reaches that have no or nearly no transit service.
Walkable neighbourhoods cost $1,500 more per month than 'burbs, says U.S. studyLast year, the Herald commissioned an opinion poll that found more people would ideally walk to work than drive, ride a bike or catch the bus. It was a bit of surprise, particularly given how few Calgarians actually live that way.
What street hockey can teach us about livable streetsThe concept of mixed use design has become common vernacular in contemporary neighbourhood planning. The basic principle is that mixed use, complete communities encourage living, working and playing.

Does supporting local business make communities walkable?One of the many conversations that have cropped up over walkability the past couple of days that I found interesting had to do with the importance of local business.

At altitude, the hard drives basically seize up, and the LCD displays develop a faint spiderweb pattern that makes the picture difficult to discern. Once they come back down, things start working normally again -- the hard drive starts spinning again and the LCD goes back to normal. Above a certain level though, the traditional laptop technology just doesn't work right.

Once the laptops start shipping with some kind of reliable solid state storage, they'll migrate to those also.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - The University of Northern Iowa football team has been tabbed as the No. 15 team in the Phil Steele FCS Preseason Top-40 poll it was announced today by the Phil Steele's FCS College Football Preview magazine.
UNI won back-to-back MVFC titles in 2011 following a 7-1 run through league play. UNI sealed a part of the MVFC title with a 23-20 double-overtime win at Illinois State to close out the regular season. The Panthers also achieved Farley's sixth 10-plus win season since taking over in 2001.
Six of the teams in the top-40 poll are representing the Missouri Valley Football Conference during the 2012 season. Youngstown State came in at No. 4 in the poll with FCS Champions North Dakota State following closely at the No. 6 spot. Illinois State rounds out the top-25 for the MVFC at the No. 21 spot with Southern Illinois at No. 26 and Indiana State landing at No. 33.
Sam Houston State, the FCS runner-up during the 2011 season, comes into the poll ranked No. 1 with James Madison finishing at No. 2 in the poll. Montana State, Youngstown State and Wofford close out the top-five in the preseason poll.
Phil Steele also announced his preseason All-American teams and All-MVFC teams, with UNI landing one player on the All-American squad and five on the All-MVFC teams.
Junior place kicker Tyler Sievertsen was named to the preseason All-American second team and the preseason All-MVFC first team. During the 2011 season, Sievertsen went 39-39 on extra points, only missed two field goals during the season finishing 18-20 and averaged 61.9 yards per kickoff.
Senior cornerback Varmah Sonie was also named to the preseason All-MVFC first team. Sonie finished the 2011 season with 70 tackles including 37 solo tackles and 33 assisted. He also accumulated one forced fumble, three interceptions and seven pass breakups.
The Panthers had three athletes named to the preseason All-MVFC second team including Misha Danilov, Brian Palangi and Garrett Scott.
Danilov started all 13 games for the Panthers at offensive line during the 2011 season, helping UNI average 167.8 yards on the ground and 166.7 yards through the air per game. Palangi started alongside Danilov on the offensive line in all 13 games during 2011, helping UNI to a total of 2,400 yards on the season.
Scott started all 13 games for the Panthers at safety for the Panthers in 2011. He recorded 105 tackles, nine pass breakups and two interceptions. He was part of a UNI defense that ranked first in the MVFC in pass defense.
The Panthers open the 2012 season on Sept. 1 against Wisconsin in Madison, Wisc. The game is set to kick-off at 2:30 p.m. CT.

Works great on hot spots
posted 5 years ago
My two year old lab gets bad hot spots every spring and summer. This product started working right off the bat; she stopped biting, and her coat is looking a lot better. She even likes it; when I say "let's put on your medicine", she goes to where it is and waits for me to spray it on. Would use again, would recommend to friends.
Pros: works quickly
Cons: none so far

RPR Soundsystem (Raresh, Pedro aka Petre Inspirescu, Rhadoo), Shane Watcha
Well it's been a funny old time in Ibiza this year. With the clamp down on afterparties, the shocking closure of DC10 that caused world wide condemnation and even no more villa parties but this hasn't stopped thousands of clubbers descending on Ibiza to experience first hand the craziest party in the world! Residents Luicano, Tania Vulcano, Davide Squillace, Clive Henry, Fabrizio, Cirillo, and more plus the joint efforts of the RPR Soundsystem rArEsH, pEdRo and raHdOo are at the forefront of underground music and every Monday take to the decks to unleash the mayhem on the terrace of DC10
For those of you that have made it to the island and those of you that couldn't get there we are transporting the terrace to London for a special party at a secret venue, shhhh. Heading up the bill for this special event will be RPR sound system returning to London for the second of their exclusive appearances for 2008. The Romania tro have shot to the forefront of dance music. Despite all the well-deserved hype surrounding the three of them, RPR Soundystem certainly haven't let it go to their heads they just want to keep on doing what they do best, crafting sublime techno, mixing up a storm on the decks and promoting the best new Romanian talent in their A:rpia:r label. With a flavour for good music and good parties we hope that you can come down for this special occasion to say a final goodbye to Ibiza 2008 and get ready for 2009!

Rating Change #1
Sucampo Pharmaceuticals Inc (SCMP) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from sell to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, solid stock price performance and notable return on equity. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including unimpressive growth in net income, weak operating cash flow and generally higher debt management risk.
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 4.1%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 7.8%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Looking at where the stock is today compared to one year ago, we find that it is not only higher, but it has also clearly outperformed the rise in the S&P 500 over the same period, despite the company's weak earnings results. Despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year, there is currently no conclusive evidence that warrants the purchase or sale of this stock.
- The company's current return on equity greatly increased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of significant strength within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Pharmaceuticals industry and the overall market, SUCAMPO PHARMACEUTICALS INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Pharmaceuticals industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 45.9% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from -$4.08 million to -$5.95 million.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to -$5.94 million or 120.42% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.
