New Report: Washington Drivers Respect Laws, Aware of Safety Campaigns
The Washington Traffic Safety Commission recently released the results of a survey titled, "Drivers Attitude, Knowledge and Awareness Survey 2011." The results reveal that 90 percent of drivers believe law enforcement will arrest them for driving drunk and 75 percent believe officers will catch them for driving 8 miles per hour over the speed limit. Two-thirds said they never speed on neighborhood streets.

McGraw Hill VP of R&D and Analytics Al Essa kindly invited me to join him in delivering this workshop in San Francisco on November 3. Hope to see you there!
I moderated this panel at the Massachusetts Innovation and Technology Exchange's (mitx.org)"The Science of Marketing: Using Data & Analytics for Winning" summit on August 1, 2013. Thanks to T. Rowe Price's Paul Musante, Visual IQ's Manu Mathew, iKnowtion's Don Ryan, and Google's Sonia Chung for participating!
My son Ben and I participated in the Dover Sherborn Boosters annual triathlon this past Sunday. We really enjoyed it. It was his first, and my first in 22 years. Well over 300 folks competed, well-mixed in age and gender. They seemed like a pretty competitive, well-trained bunch to us, judging by the 95%+ who had lean cheeks and wetsuits and fancy bikes and bags that said "Boston Triathlon Team".
After the race, I was curious to get a better handle on how we'd done. All Sports Events had done a great job of running and timing the event, and their table of results was very detailed and useful. But I wanted to see it a bit more visually. The All Sports Events folks were kind enough to share the data file, and with a little fiddling to parse and convert strings to times, I got to this (click on the image to launch the Tableau Public interactive visualization):
Before the race, as I shivered un-rubbered on the beach waiting for the swim to start, I overheard a couple of guys my age talking about how now that they were in their forties, with their kids a little older and with more control at home and work (a state of grace I'm not yet familiar with), they had more time to train, especially on Saturday mornings.
Plotting 6th-order polynomial trend lines through the data revealed an interesting, if weak pattern that seems to confirm this life-stage effect, for both men and women. Average performance improves radically as you move from your teens to your twenties, declines as the realities of family life intrude in your thirties, improves once again as you rediscover your inner narcissist child in your forties, and then begins to decline again as Father Time eventually asserts himself (though with plenty of variance around the mean to give us hope). Like Shakespeare said, more or less.
What do you see? Thanks again to the organizers and volunteers for a great event!
As many of you know (having been barraged with a Twit-tensity worthy of @justinbieber), Saturday I rode in the Nashoba Learning Group annual bike-a-thon. Nashoba Learning Group is a school in Bedford Massachusetts for children with Autistic Spectrum disorders. Our family has been involved with the school since its founding over a decade ago; it now has 90 students. It achieves wonderful results, and shares what it learns generously. And now we're also building an adult program as well.
It's not too late to sponsor me for the Bike-a-thon!
This year's ride was among the most beautiful I can remember -- a lovely, relatively cool and dry New England summer day. Nonetheless, experience has taught me to seek any advantage possible. So, at breakfast, I spied this number, and imagined the drafting possibilities of a one-machine peloton:
Perhaps it should have concerned me that its crew looked a little strange:
Nonetheless, I smiled back, and off we went!
10 miles into my admittedly parasitic strategy (Hey, I did offer to take my turn at the front, but I think they laughed), I thought I heard "Activate les contre-measures!" I thought I saw tacks, but I really can't be sure. Slowly though, the sound of the breeze in my ears was replaced with a slow hiss...
I pulled over, and wistfully waved on the vanguard of riders offering their help. No matter! My wife knows I live for moments like this, when I can break out the tools I so rarely get to use!
Furiously I pedaled - no, clawed - my way back. Well, scratched a bit. Let's just say it was a nice day for a ride.
Thank you again so much to all of the incredibly generous people who supported NLG this year!
NLG gets results...
...and makes people happy
Hi folks, a reminder to please sponsor me for this year's NLG Bike-a-thon! Here's the link to the donations site. Below for your reading pleasure is my recap of the 2007 ride. Thank you!
Folks, I ride once again this weekend for Nashoba Learning Group. Please sponsor me if you can, it's a really worthy cause. Thank you!
(See here for Part 1)
Here's one summary of the experience that's making the rounds:
I wasn't able to be there all that long, but my impression was different. Men of all colors (especially if you count tattoos), and lots more women (many tattooed also, and extensively). I had a chance to talk with Doc Searls (I'm a huge Cluetrain fan) briefly at the Digital Harvard reception at The Parish; he suggested (my words) the increased ratio of women is a good barometer for the evolution of the festival from narcissistic nerdiness toward more sensible substance. Nonetheless, on the surface, it does remain a sweaty mosh pit of digital love and frenzied networking. Picture Dumbo on spring break on 6th and San Jacinto. With light sabers:
Sight that will haunt my dreams for a while: VC-looking guy, blazer and dress shirt, in a pedicab piloted by skinny grungy student (?) Dude, learn Linux, and your next tip from The Man at SXSW might just be a term sheet.
So whom did I meet, and what did I learn:
I had a great time listening to PRX.org's John Barth. The Public Radio Exchange aggregates independent content suitable for radio (think The Moth), adds valuable services like consistent content metadata and rights management, and then acts as a distribution hub for stations that want to use it. We talked about how they're planning to analyze listenership patterns with that metadata and other stuff (maybe gleaning audience demographics via Quantcast) for shaping content and targeting listeners. He related for example that stations seem to prefer either 1 hour programs they can use to fill standard-sized holes, or two- to seven- minute segments they can weave into pre-existing programs. Documentary-style shows that weave music and informed commentary together are especially popular. We explored whether production templates ("structured collaboration": think "Mad Libs" for digital media) might make sense. Maybe later.
Paul Payack explained his Global Language Monitor service to me, and we explored its potential application as a complement if not a replacement for episodic brand trackers. Think of it as a more sophisticated and source-ecumenical version of Google Insights for Search.
Kara Oehler's presentation on her Mapping Main Street project was great, and it made me want to try her Zeega.org service (a Harvard metaLAB project) as soon as it's available, to see how close I can get to replicating The Yellow Submarine for my son, with other family members spliced in for The Beatles. Add it to my list of other cool projects I like, such as mrpicassohead.
Peter Boyce and Zach Hamed from Hack Harvard, nice to meet you. Here's a book that grew out of the class at MIT I mentioned -- maybe you guys could cobble together an O'Reilly deal out of your work!
Finally, congrats to Perry Hewitt (here with Anne Cushing) and all her Harvard colleagues on a great evening!
Arrive Houston late. Some lady steers my Hertz car out of space 125, toots cheerfully, and is off. (Wonder how she'll persuade the guard: "Yes, I am Cesar Brea...") I arrange a replacement, and promptly get lost somewhere near Hobby.
Later: looking up from the hotel lobby floor is like looking down a shaft on the Death Star. Thirty stories of beige-brown cantilevered soul-crushing sameness. Can't sleep. Accept insomnia, opt for double-header dystopia: the HBO Julianne Moore / Ed Harris / Woody Harrelson docu-drama Game Change about Sarah Palin, then Repo Men.
Morning. I-290 West, toward Austin; it's monsooning. Vaguely Quixotic: a "Dry-Force Water Removal" van blasts past me doing seventy. Cattle line up near the road, backsides to the storm, in the bovine manner.
Who says frontier towns are dead? They're just spread out more, reflecting today's faster horses. No horseshoes, but plenty of brake shoes. First Church of Such-and-Such -- still here. Saloons? Gringo's Tex Mex, with "Latino Fusion". Doc's specialized, or maybe just re-branded to game insurance billing -- "Drive-in Gynecology Clinic" (really). Depending on local laws -- or lack of them -- gentlemen's clubs = brothels by another name. Fireworks - pawn - gold - boots - tack - guns - ammo. Plus, still plenty of 'tude:
I cross the Brazos. (Always wanted to say that.)
"We got all your outdoor needs." Even if those extend to giant welded roosters:
Obligatory BBQ stop. Chopped BBQ sandwich, slaw, jalapeno at the Lost Pines BBQ in Giddings. Highly recommended for friendly service and great food:
McDade: two chihuahuas play by the road.
They jump into the traffic.
Doing sixty, I swerve and miss.
The tractor-trailer behind me doesn't.
Crosses, mostly singly, sometimes in bunches: "Have you found Jesus?"
Austin, 30 miles: "Do you know Linux?"

Israel belongs to Israelis whether anyone likes it or not !
It seems the thing that upsets people now is the same thing that has
upset them for thousands of years. They don't want Jews to succeed at
anything. Now I agree that any right wing government is detrimental to
the progress of a nation. But Israels stance has from the moment of its
statehood been one of defense. A defense that for such a small section
of land is on par with many leading western nations. The people of
Gaza are kept ignorant of the world around them because they are kept
like an open wound stemming from the defeat Israel dealt to the
surrounding nations. Its not Israel that makes their prison, its Islam
and the long line of Islamic henchmen that do that for them. Gaza is
like the cycle of an abused women who keeps choosing abusive men. If
Palestinians get their statehood then they will also receive the full
responsibility if or when those state borders are breached via an act of
war. This is something I don't think for one second the people in Gaza
understand. However I have no doubt the surrounding Islamic countries
are anticipating this very action. To them a Palestinian state is only a
prelude to the very act of inciting a war with Israel. I hold no
weight with any religious claims of ownership on any land on this
planet, but one deciding factor of history is true no matter the race,
creed or religion, the one who can defend the land is the one who
inevitably owns it. This was all fine and dandy when it was Islamic
armies invading and assimilating the near and middle east, but when the
tables are turned, all of a sudden its a huge crime against humanity.
Israel has many times over, proven it can defend its land and its
people, Israel belongs to Israelis whether anyone likes it or not.
Just to note, I deplore the blind and ignorant support of Israel solely
for religious reasons, i.e. the right wing Christian republican party of
the US. These people are not your friend under any guise, these people
believe they need your country to cause a war to conclude their own
religious delusion, which they inevitably still blame Jews for in the
first place. The Jews who have prospered in many scientific fields and
bettered their country and indeed the world did it in spite of religious
teachings, not because of them. When a large percentage of the world
hates you for who you are or were, then you focus your attention on
necessity and logic, not fables and myths. A secular Israel, is a strong
Israel and it is a secular Israel that I support.
Democratize Russia, Democratize China, Free Tibet, oh, I would also like
a strawberry icecream please! Yes, with a spoon!
Ambiguity is a policy in Israel. Israel says it has no nuclear weapons
but it has several hundred of them. Israel claims it's mainly secular
but believes they have a divine deed to the land. Israel says it wants a
two state solution but continues to steal the land that the solution is
based on. Israel claims it is a democracy but almost half the population
under its control have no say. Israel says it wants to live in piece but
regularly attacks its neighbours. Israel claims it is independent but
relies on the highest level of overseas aid of any country in the World
So who is the hypocrite?
Here' in the Netherlands it is hard to criticise elements of the Likud
government policies without being accused of anti-Israel-sentiments or
being anti-jew. Which, for me, is not the case. For a free opinion,
there's more breathing space inside of Israel, although I can't really
see whether they are informed as well as I feel. The opinion of Stephen
Hawking should be welcomed because it is not closing the door to a
debate. I can't see why people are so upset with him.
How does something that's never existed get smaller?
If you really opposed the occupation, you would be thrilled at
additional pressure on Israel to end it, no matter what bad is done
elsewhere in the world. Why fight to REDUCE pressure on Israel to end an
occupation that is 'indefensible morally, stupid politically and unwise strategically'???

A logo idea sketch for a recent project. The logo will be used for a blog called 'Simple Marketing Plan' and my thoughts behind the concept were...
• Cursor - online, blog, internet.
• Arrow - marketing, excelling, increasing profits etc.
• Pen - blog, writing, articles, plan.
I've also attached a much flatter, clearer photo.
EDIT: Also, if anyone has seen this concept before please let me know.

A roast with dried peaches from The Perfect Peach. "Roasted potatoes or rice pilaf are nice accompaniments. If you have leftover pork, slice it and use it to make sandwiches with arugula, grilled red onions and pickles."
1-1/4 cups water
3 oz. home-dried peach slices, or 6 oz. store-bought dried peaches
1 (2-1/2-lb.) boneless pork loin
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 pinches of ground cloves
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 cup peach jam
2 tbsp light brown sugar
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Step 2: Bring 1 cup of the water to a boil in a small saucepan. Coarsely chop the peaches, add them to the boiling water, and remove the pan from the heat. Let stand for 20 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the peaches from the liquid, pressing against them to release the excess liquid back into the pan. Reserve the peaches and the liquid separately.
Step 3: Trim the excess fat and silver skin from the loin, or ask your butcher to do this for you. Cut the pork loin into a 3/4"-thick flat rectangle. Using a sharp knife and starting at one long side, make a lengthwise cut through the side of the loin to cut it open like a jelly roll, unrolling the meat until it is flat. If needed, pound the meat with a meat mallet to an even thickness, then lay it flat on the work surface.
Step 4: Lightly season the top surface of the meat with salt, pepper and 1 pinch of the cloves. Spread the drained peaches evenly over the seasonings, leaving a 1" border on both short ends of the meat. Starting at a short end, roll up the meat (like a jelly roll) to enclose the filling. Tie the rolled meat with kitchen twine, encircling the meat every inch or so to ensure the roll holds it shape and the peach filling stays securely inside. Place the tied roll, seam side down, in a roasting pan. (You do not need to use a meat rack.) In a small bowl, stir together the flour, the remaining pinch of cloves, and some salt and pepper. Sprinkle the top of the rolled pork with the flour mixture.
Step 5: Place the pork in the oven and roast for 20 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350°F and continue to roast for about 25 minutes longer, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centre of the roast registers 138°F.
Step 6: While the meat is in the oven, add the jam and sugar to the soaking liquid remaining in the saucepan and bring to boil over medium-low heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is reduced to a slightly thick glaze.
Step 7: When the meat registers 138°F (or after the 25 minutes), remove the roast from the oven and brush it with some of the glaze. Return the roast to the oven and continue to roast for 5 more minutes. The meat is done when the thermometer inserted into the centre of the roast registers 145°F. If you don't have a meat thermometer, the meat should be golden on top, firm to the touch, and should not release pink juices when pierced with a knife.
Step 8: Remove the roast from the oven, transfer to a cutting board and reserve the juices in the pan. Tent the roast with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes, then brush with the glaze again.
Step 9: Make the sauce while the roast rests. Place the roasting pan over medium-high heat, add the remaining 1/4 cup water, bring to a simmer, and scrape the pan bottom to loosen the browned bits. Strain the contents of the pan through a fine-mesh sieve and add to the glaze remaining in the saucepan. Bring the sauce to a boil and simmer for 1 minute. Stir in the lemon juice.
Step 10: Snip the twine on the pork roast, cut the roast into 1"-thick slices, and arrange on a warmed platter or individual plates. Serve with the sauce either on the side or spooned over the top.

I'm not referring to another Grass/Poison starter (could be any dual-typing) or referring to the final forms of starters. I'm just meaning first form. I think it's unlikely to happen again.
I kind of agree, if you recall Bulbasaur being part Poison meant he wasn't vulnerable to Poison or Bug (a good thing) and was immune to getting Poison status in addition to Leech Seeds, HOWEVER he also lost vulnerability to Ground and acquired a major weakness to Mewtwo. The other five generations have used a pure Grass/Fire/Water triangle and kept it that way.
Bulbasaur will forever annoy me because of the lack of consistency.
But to answer the question, no, I don't think we'll ever receive a dual-typed starter again.
I agree that it's extremely improbable, but I don't think it's out of the question.
I have claimed: Staraptor (01/12/13), Shiny Stone (02/12/13), and Limber (02/12/13).
That is an interesting question. I think it would be kind of interesting if they did that, but I seriously doubt that they'll do it again. I think that they'd rather save giving a secondary type to the starters for their evolved forms, either fully evolved or once they reach the second stage. With Bulbasaur, making it part Poison felt unnecessary to me when it didn't really give off much of a Poison vibe from its design or from its evolutions. While it gave Bulbasaur a couple of advantages, it was more of a weakness due to being weak to Ground and Psychic type attack, the later being a big problem in the first generation due to how broken Psychic type Pokemon were. They might not want to give another starter extra weaknesses or strengths right off the bat. They might also be more interested in starting off with a pure Grass/Fire/Water triangle so that new players can have an easier time understanding the type advantages and disadvantages.

*cue huge "no"s
I would like to see another first-stage dual-typed starter, but it most likely won't happen again.
Why? Simply because this way, they can hype up the new starter pokémon, showing off their basic concepts and generally everything about their basic forms, yet leave players wondering as to how will they evolve.
Bulbasaur got a dual type because as it was a Generation I pokémon, there was nothing to hype, the concept of evolution had to be introduced with the game itself and was more important to hype... yet the concept of dual-types had to be blatantly shown off somehow. To get the introduction of dual types easily done, having a choice of the very first thing a player could get be a dual-type does the job. (And then is immediately exposed clearly by Caterpie and Weedle, which hardly by coincidence are Bugs, in theory
but not practicestrong against Bulbasaur)
This wasn't just introducing dual-types to the new players, this was introducing the concept of a core gameplay mechanic to the world.
But now that mechanic isn't a pressing issue to explain anymore, there are literally hundreds of examples of dual-typed pokémon. So there is no reason to deviate from the pattern they have developed, while they have a reason to stick to it.
Could they break this pattern somehow? Well, while it could, the starters are pretty much the most carefully designed pokémon, so there really has to be an important reason that exemplifies something of the game for an starter to be dual-typed.
For example, I could see changing how dual-type matchups work altogether or something like that perhaps prompting another dual-typed starter. That'd be a wide enough change in the core gameplay to require an opportunity for immediate introduction.

I really hope so, because I still dream about a Type/Bug starter. I can't picture a Pokémon gaining the Bug-type after evolving, so it has to start as Type/Bug.
I don't think we'll have another dual-type starter again in spite of I would like that there were some more.
Bulbasaur could be purely grass-type and its evolution poison-part, but for any reason in the time it was created, they made it also poison-type and that shouldn't matter in that gen.
Maybe in Gen. VII, they decide to go "RBGY\Retro Style again!" where Gen VII Pokèmon are drawn just like Gen I Pokèmon, and maybe the trainers and\or game interface too. And, since it's supposed to be a "return to the basics", they decide to make one of the 3 starters half-poison type. (or bug, dark, steel, fairy, whatever.)
I think it would be neat if all the starters were dual typed in the next generation(s). That way, each would be unique and have their own niche. It would also enforce the type learning that new trainers would have to know.

I actually feel sorry for Bulbasaur for being the only dual-type first stage starter. Must be hard getting picked on all the time because it's not pure Grass or whatever, poor thing..
I really do hope Game Freak creates more dual-type first stages, Bulbasaur needs some friends.

There is hope, and if were lucky, we might see all three starters with dual-types.

commercial property for rent or lease in Hilmar (CA), Industrial Space For Lease.
Hilmar commercial real estate for lease, rent,, and leased investments.
Find Hilmar industrial buildings for lease, retail rentals, & Hilmar shops. Locate a Hilmar warehouse lease and any real estate for lease / investment, including industrial properties to rent and sale.
Any Hilmar commercial lease is simply an agreement between the parties that sets out the parameters for the business arrangement. The potential for future adversity is more than real if the terms are not fully understood and considered at the time of signing. A standard lease will have been prepared that will naturally protect the landlords interest in most eventualities. A successful leasing agreement should reflect the issues faced by both landlord and tenant and should consider the needs and requirements of each party.
While leasing may be short term, less risky, and less expensive than purchasing commercial real estate, signing a lease is still a binding and legal document. Seek legal advice before beginning your search for real estate, an experienced attorney in real estate law can help you to avoid signing a contract that may be signing you up for un-necessary expenses and liability that could potential harm business. If you lack time to scout and negotiate contract terms, a broker may be a worthy asset to use.
Your long term business plan and Hilmar real estate commitment should be aligned as most real estate leases and investments are long in duration. Business leaders need to anticipate future growth and requirements of the business to be positioned for the best and worst possible scenarios. Define the space you need and make sure the area can be designed to incorporate all your requirements. Will the layout satisfy employee expectations and will any possible employee relocation, or commute, to a new Hilmar venue be achieved to everyones satisfaction. Consider proximity to facilities and amenities such as Hilmar shopping, health care, childcare, etc.

A quick weekend upload of what I plan to do with my site, mainly trying to figure out structure and form at the moment. The sub heading will scroll through social links, the UI & UX section will interchange through different disciplines. Mainly trying to keep it as clean and simple as possible.
Would love some early feedback, check out the real pixels.

Beyond Self-esteem: Narratives of Self-knowledge & Devotion to Others
Peter Lang, 2003 - Psychology - 202 pages
In <I>Beyond Self-Esteem, Thomas J. Cottle argues that America's preoccupation with notions of self-esteem and self-regard not only does not reflect the fundamental nature of the self, but leads to selfish behavior and an inability to devote one's self to friendships. The self, Cottle writes, is predicated on social relationships and, more specifically, on the affirmation each of us offers to the other, as well as the degree of responsibility we find ourselves willing to take for one another. It is Cottle's contention, reinforced by his theoretical positions and by the narrative accounts of children and adults alike, that affirmation of and the assumption of responsibility for other people remain the most ethical human actions.

Cruise News
Mini cruises - the perfect start for cruise virgins
For anyone thinking of cruising for the first time, a mini-cruise of just two or three nights is a great way to find out if you'll enjoy life at sea.
It also allows you to enjoy a few days away, without a major commitment of time or money.
In fact, a mini-cruise can be the perfect city break, representing good value for money and an easy way to visit several attractive ports of call in a long weekend.
For 2013, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines offers its biggest ever programme of mini-cruises, a choice of 13 itineraries, aboard all four of its ships – Balmoral, Braemar, Boudicca and Black Watch.
They depart from a wide choice of regional ports – Southampton, Dover, Newcastle, Greenock (Glasgow) and, new for 2013, Liverpool, Harwich and Belfast. This means more people than ever can try a mini-cruise from a conveniently local port.
From 2013, over 90 per cent of the UK population will be within a 90-mile radius of a Fred. Olsen departure port.
Itineraries are also varied, visiting popular weekend break destinations, such as Amsterdam and Dublin, or beautiful French ports, like Honfleur and Rouen. You can cruise north, right up to Kirkwall in the Orkney Islands, or south, to Guernsey, in the sunny Channel Islands, visiting pretty St. Peter Port.
Prices for a mini cruise start from £199 per person, based on two adults sharing an inside twin cabin.

Workday projects are scheduled bi-weekly throughout the year on Saturdays and Sundays. We also conduct many mid-week projects and schedule additional week-end workdays as needed. We welcome participation by school groups, church groups and Scout groups, and frequently schedule special combined workday/field trips for such groups.
The stewardship group also contributes time at The Nature Conservancy's Nachusa Grasslands near Franklin Grove, Illinois, in recognition of the assistance provided by The Nature Conservancy in in initial purchase of the West Chicago Prairie Forest Preserve, as well as its ongoing work to support conservation through the Volunteer Stewardship Network.
To support our management efforts we also need volunteers with computer skills, volunteers with graphics arts skills, volunteers with skills to maintain our mechanical equipment, volunteers with photography skills, and politically oriented volunteers to present the need for natural areas management to public and political groups.
