Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that 49ers QB Alex Smith is expected to return to the starting line up this Monday against the Bears. The team has been cautious regarding Smith's recent concussion that he suffered last weekend when on a 4th-and-1 quarterback sneak. Smith was reportedly dealing with "blurred vision" during the game. Smith has been shown some progress throughout the week, although he was limited the final two days of practice, he is expected to be in the starting line up come Monday.

Newman said Lawrence and others were in the park that day after attending the funeral of a family member who died of cancer.
"She loved her family very much," Newman said of Lawrence. "She loved her family to the point where sometimes she would get depressed and hurt by all the violence and death going on in the family."
Sabrina Harris, whose daughter Ryan Harris was murdered in 1997 and who is the namesake of the park, said Lawrence was her cousin was at the park with her family when the shooting happened.

Someone shot from railroad tracks about 10 to 15 feet away, striking Lawrence in the head. She said the fact that her cousin was shot in the same park named after her own daughter, who was also a murder victim, was especially tragic. She left behind a son, Harris said.
"She took care of our cousin who died of cancer," said Harris. "It's all still senseless. Its still just senseless."
The most recently shooting occurred about 2:40 a.m. on the West Side, where a 20-year-old man who was traveling inside a minivan on the Eisenhower Expressway was shot twice, said Illinois State Police Master Sgt. Jason LoCoco.
The victim was seated in the passenger side of a Chrysler minivan that was eastbound when, around Western Avenue, someone fired shots and struck him, said LoCoco.
They did not crash, but headed straight to Stroger hospital, where police were notified.
The victim's condition had stabilized as of 6 a.m., said LoCoco, who added no arrests have been made and a description of the shooter or the gunman's vehicle was not available.
In another shooting on the Far South Side about 2:20 a.m. Sunday, a Dolton man on his way to his overnight shift was shot while seated in a car talking to his girlfriend in the West Pullman neighborhood, the 42-year-old man told the Tribune.
He was headed north to get to his job as a press operator when he stopped at the woman's home in the 12000 block of South Lafayette Avenue and was talking with her in his car when two gunman approached the car and began firing, he said.
He told the Tribune he "hovered" over his girlfriend to protect her but was shot in the left wrist in the process. She was not hurt, he said, but a woman sitting on her porch 15-20 feet away was hit by one of the bullets.
News Affairs Officer Alfaro, however, said the 57-year-old woman who was shot was the woman inside the man's car and there was only one gunman.
Paramedics got there and bandaged the man up and he wasn't taken to a hospital, he said. The woman, whose wounds were to the lower right leg Alfaro said, was taken to Roseland Community Hospital, where her condition had stabilized.
The motive for the shooting was not known, said Alfaro, and no arrests have been made.
A few minutes earlier, at 2:10 a.m., Edward Jordan, 53, was shot in the face in the 300 block of South Cicero Avenue in the South Austin neighborhood on the West Side, according to police and the Cook Couny medical examiner's office. Jordan, of the 4900 block of West Lexington Avenue, was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition where he was pronounced dead at 8:05 a.m.
Police on the scene said the man, who was apparently the unintended target, was on a sidewalk walking away from a liquor store he had just left when shots rang out across the street and hit him.
Police on the scene said the shooting stemmed from a car crash that happened directly across the street from where the victim was walking.
In another shooting at about 6:15 p.m. Saturday, officials said a 23-year-old man was shot on the 6600 block of South Greenwood Avenue in the Woodlawn neighborhood. The man took himself to Jackson Park Hospital where his condition had stabilized, officials said.
Tribune reporters Gregory Pratt and Carlos Sadovi contributed.

Dang, Nice work Bandit. Looks like I'll need to just give up Rendering and Create tools for people that can render.
Thank you so much, Jeff, I'm Jaime
Don't sell yourself short; didn't your signature used to say that the only person you should compete with is yourself? And there's a bromide that observes a person who compare themselves to others will end up bitter or vain.
But leaving those aside, I'm a great fan of your work (especially the ones that involve Bruuna ); you have a classic, cinematographic style that makes for compelling story telling
Enough pontificating. You rock!
BLUSH!! Head to Toe. And it's a sad thing that Daz will not let us do Bruuna here any longer. My old school style is because I'm old.

"Pulling in the future"
Two crucial questions of innovation:
- What will customers want tomorrow?
- How can we give it to them today?
The Importance Of Innovation
"In a world of ever-accelerating change, innovation is the only insurance against irrelevance… the only antidote to margin-crushing competition." – Gary Hamel, Innovation To The Core, pg xviii
Peter Drucker poignantly emphasised that the 2 essential components of business are innovation and marketing.
"Because the purpose of business is to create a customer, the business enterprise has two?and only two?basic functions: marketing and innovation. Marketing and innovation produce results; all the rest are costs. Marketing is the distinguishing, unique function of the business."
Peter Drucker, the father of business consulting.
So What Is Innovation?
How do we know when we have innovated? By what standard do we measure what is an 'innovation'?
Is it enough for something to be new or different to value it? Of course not. So innovation in business must be directed towards the business objectives. (Which boils down to the Marketing function, i.e. 'going to market' in a way that builds sustained competitive advantage and increased shareholder value, through solving customer needs, and filling customer wants.)
I like the model that considers 3 levels of innovation:
Basic innovation
Incrementalism (e.g. split testing changes in a company newsletter to increase click-through rates)
Relative innovation
Iteration – alluding to a compounding effect of multiple incremental changes. Consider the waterfall model that sees a priority based set of dependencies that upgrade a project/product/process/etc to higher levels of development, each stage layering on top of the previous progress.
Concept innovation
A Breakthrough that jumps from one state to another, creating a distinct gap between what came before. Seth Godin's idea of a Purple Cow – something so remarkable that it immediately jumps out as noticeable and compelling.
New Product Development
A simple theoretical model…
Idea Generation > Screening > Concept development and testing > Business analysis (finances only) > Product development > Test marketing > Commercialisation and launch.
This does not include production and distribution or various aspects of the value chain and supply chain management.
The Drive for Innovation
"Innovation from Everyone and Everywhere" Whirlpool CEO Dave Whitwam, 1999
The Possibiliites For Innovation
"We argue that it is entirely possible to boost your company's innovation perormance in a dramatic and enduring way, but it can only be done if you are prepared to make innovation a systematic enterprise capability" – Innovation To The Core, pg 15
Preconditions For Innovation
Three criticial preconditions for making innovation happen: (Innovation To The Core, pg 26)
- Creating time and space in people's lives for reflection, ideation, and experimentation
- Maximising the diversity of thinking that innovation requires
- Fostering connection and conversation – the 'combinational chemistry' that serves as a breeding ground for breakthrough ideas
We must reduce distractions, and create more 'bandwidth'.
Diversity characteristics
We want diverse people, with polarised strengths, including some who are:
- divergent thinkers and convergent thinkers
- more analytical and more creative
- close to the head office and far-away
- younger and older
- lots of experience and lots of imagination
- who undersatnd technology and understand people
- from inside the firm and from outside the firm
"Don't be afraid to add some noncomformists, some frustrated activisits, and some peole who are perhapa a little weird and eccentric… Experiment at the California Institute of Technology showed 'diverse groups of problem solvers consistently outperformed groups of the best and the brightest." – Innovation To The Core, pg 31-32
Synergy[to come]
Building An Innovation Pipeline
Strategic Insights come from Four Lenses of Innovation (Innovation To The Core, pg 46)
- Challenging orthodoxies:
- Harnessing discontinuities:
- Leveraging competencies and straregic assets:
- Understanding unarticulated needs:
Challenging orthodoxies:
Questioning deeply held dogmas inside copanies and inside industries about what drives success.
Radical innovators are almost by definition, contrarian. Companies that are radically reinvesting customer expectations and creating most fo the new wealth are invariable the industry challengers – those willing to questiondeeply held dogmas and to be contrarian.
Find orthodoxies by…
- Surfacing the dogmas – Identify common assumptions by the use of 'is-of-identity' language (look up e-prime), e.g. 'price 'is' key' or 'this customer group 'is' priority.
- Finding the absurdities – Look at everything through the eye of a customer to uncover policies or systems that are absurd from their POV.
- Going to extremes – Ask what would happen if we pushed this to a rediculous limit… you might find the next Amazon.
- Search for the 'and' – Not that it can be done this way 'or' that way, but perhaps it can be done this way 'and' that way
Harnessing discontinuities:
Spotting unnoticed patterns of trends that could substantially change the rules of the game. Radical innovators are not forecasters or scenario planners. Instead, the are aware on some deep level of things that are already fundamentally changing, as John Naisbitt puts it, 'the future is embedded in the present', so that we discover as Peter Schwartz puts it, 'the inevitable surprise'.
The goal is to surf the 'tides of history', to find and exploit discontinuity… where patterns or clusters of trends converge in intersection points.
Focus on identifying changes in the external environment, and then influence and amplify them.
- Look where your competitors are not – the bleeding edge
- Amplify weak signals to anticipate second and third order consequences
- Understand trends in their historical context
- Look for interactions between trends
Leveraging competencies and strategic assets:
Thinking of a copany as a portfolio of skills and assets ather than as a provider of products or services for specific markets. But most companies define themselves by what they do, rather than what they know or what they own.
- Core competence (what you do) – a unique or rare bundle of skills, knowledge, and experience that delivers a valued customer benefit and competitive differentiation. They have 5 criteria: 1. Create value for customer. 2. Unique or scarce. 3. Sustainable. 4. Important to positioning. 5. Can be leveraged into new throughput. – Innovation To The Core, pg 62
- Strategic asset (what you own) – a corporate possession that is difficult to imitate, developer or acquire and that providea a basis for competitive advantage, pg 62
Many types of strategic asset including:
- Input assets – access to suppliers, supplier loyalty, financial capacity
- Process assets – proprietary technology, standards, functional expertise, infrastructure
- Channel assets – access to distributors, distributor loyalty, distribution networks
- Customer assetrs – customer information, customer loaylty, brand recognition
- Market knowledg assets – understanding of customer, cmpetitor, and supplier behaviour
Understanding unarticulated needs:
Learning to live inside the customers skin, empathizing with unarticulated feelings and ideneitfying unmet needs.
Radical innovators are deeply empathetic; the understand and feel the unvoiced needs of customers. They bypass traditional market research methods, relying instead onf 'getting into the customers skin'.
Customer insight: An unmet need of a customer frustration that can serve as the basis for a new business opportunity
Look for deep unarticulated needs and frustrations in an effort to uncover new and unexploited innovation opportunities. Remove the distance between you and them. Immerse yourself in their environment and make their needs, frustations, and desires your own. That means getting out of the office for:
- Direct observation – shadowing the customer from multiple vantage points
- Customer experience mapping – developing a deep empahtetic undersatnd of what it feels like to be a customer at every stage of the demand chain
- Analogies from other industries – learning from other companies that are dramatically reshaping customer expectations
"Ultimately, what you want from the disovery proces is not just a collection of insights but a common point of view. You want your discovery teams to be able to tsay, for example, "Here are what we believe to be (a) the most important orthodixies our compay can overturn; (b) the discontinuities that have the most potential to upend our indusyry; (c) the core competiences and strategic assets we can best leverage into new products markets, or businesses; and (d) the most significant unmet needs of customers – and potential customers- that we can address to creat ve new value" – Innovation To The Core pg 79.
Methods of Innovation
…that stand out in my mind right now:
Creative Process Tools
Your Mind
By increasing your capacity with the natural creative process (see notes on Fritz above), you become more adept at spotting opportunity for innovation.
The popular tool for brainstorming to generate new ideas. Pen and paper work great too.
Structural Tension Charting
A tool I learned from Robert Fritz that has made a permanent impact on the way I think about and approach any project. STCs have 3 elements: Desired Outcome. Current Situation. Milestones & Steps. Simple. Powerful. Each milestone can itself become a new STC. (Wiki's provide a great way to develop STCs).
The Theory-Of-Constraints Thinking Tools
This one is a lot more detailed, and something I endorse for anyone that wants to get into nitty gritty control of Project Management.
Creative Process Facilitation
"We need people who are creative, good at idea generation, never satisfied with the status quo; the awkward ones who are never content, always challenging, questioning and trying to change things. We need rebels and troublemakers, as long as what they are doing, more often than not, is in the end productive." – probably the best paragraph in the whole book Managing Marketing by Palmer, Cockton, and Cooper.
Team Synergy
This can be done in various ways such as open brainstorming meetings. Team surveys to elicit creative ideas. Messages that share ideas across the team. Use of shared documents on Google Documents. Email discussion groups, message boards, etc.
Wiki Collaboration
One method that combines the Structural Tension Charting theory with team synergy is using a wiki for collaboration across a team.
Service Scorecard
For large enterprise, the Balanced Service Scorecard can provide comprehensive control over the key areas of business success in a way that fosters innovation.
Resources For Innovation[ ]
Innovation Measurement
Again, for large enterprise I believe the Balanced Service Scorecard gives the best way to measure innovation.
Risks Of Innovation
The Ansoff Matrix
In terms of introducing new products to new markets, Ansoff recognised a possible increased business risk the newer the product to our target market, and the less experience the company has of that target market.[widget id="ad-continue-management"]Ad: continue-management[/widget]Of course, innovation is fundamental to business development and progress, so the risks of not pursuing innovation are essentially far higher than pursuing 'high risk' innovations of new concept products or markets.

Only in Belgium Will You Find a Hotel with a Chocolate Laboratory Downstairs
Chocolates at turndown are all well and good, but here's a hotel that's going a step further – a chocolate store and workshop. This could only be in Belgium, of course – and it's at the new NH Brussels Carrefour de l'Europe.
The hotel was previously a Best Western, but was taken over by NH this month. It's in the Grasmarkt – a pretty square of medievalish buildings in the old town (though it's very touristed, quite noisy, and even a little bit drunky – and most of those old buildings are now hotels). You're right at the foot of the hill that leads to the Royal Palace, and a quick walk across from the Grand Place.

Best Western Announces Their First Vīb Hotel, Gangnam Style
A few months ago, Best Western Hotels announced their newest Vīb Hotels. (That's pronounced Vibe.) And today, they've just released some info on the very first Vib Hotel to be developed in Seoul.
The Vīb, which is expected to break ground later this year, will be located in the city's Gangnam district, which everyone knows all about now, thanks to Psy's "Gangnam Style" song. The hotel will have 148 rooms and will be true to the Vīb philosophy which is about "innovation, technology, and style with authentic, local flavor offered at a great value."
And no doubt, a cool vibe too. Peep the renderings below, taken from the Vīb website, to understand more of what Vib is all about.
The Asia Pacific market will be a big one for Vīb Hotels, which is checking out spots for new hotels in Bangkok, Thailand; Sarawak and Shah Alam, Malaysia; and Ortigas, Philippines. Overall the

The Best Western President in Times Square Will Turn into a Tryp by Wyndham Hotel
The Best Western President Hotel in Times Square used to be one of our favorite Best Western hotels ever with its purple hued decor, high design and free WiFi. We say "used to be" because the Wall Street Journal has reported that the hotel will soon change into a Tryp by Wyndham Hotel.
The owners of the hotel, Hampshire Hotels & Resort (who also own the Dream and Night brands, which are licensed by Wyndham), have modified their mortgage due to the increased competition in NYC which has seen the hotel occupancy rates rise but not the actually price of the rooms. (Sidenote: how is this possible? It seems like all NYC hotels are charging insanely higher prices these days.)
Anyways, Tryp is planning a renovation of the property that will make it more millennial-friendly.
It's planning a "multimillion-dollar" upgrade at the Times Square property which will include adding "lobbyfriend," a social networking system for hotel guests, and making the hotel's public spaces more inviting places to hang out, says Bill Hall, a senior vice president (of Wyndham.)
The rebranding should happen early next year. In the meantime, you can check out the Tryp Times Square South at 345 W. 35th St. where rates start around $400 a night on the weekends in December. Rates at the Best Western are about $430.

Best Western Announces a New Boutique Hotel Concept, Vib
After nearly 70 years as a cornerstone of America's mid-range hotel scene, Best Western has announced that it will take a step into two new markets with two new brands, Vib (pronounced "vibe") and BW Premier.
The Premier Collection has actually been up and running for a while, and includes this recently opened eco-resort in Malaysia. In fact, last time we checked in on Premier, it was planning properties in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Kuwait, Malaysia, Nairobi and Oman. Just to catch you up if you missed it, the BW Premier Collection will be a "soft brand" offering, meaning that it will consist of a variety of high-end properties in different markets (as opposed to a single hotel brand, like Vib). Hotels in the Premier Collection will be bookable through the Best Western website, and guests will be able to earn and use their Best Western reward points at any hotel in the collection.
The big announcement is the new boutique Vib concept, short for Vibrant. It is being described as a "stylish and technology-centric hotel concept created to meet the needs of today's connected traveler," featuring "vibrant and modern design with a focus on convenience, technology and social engagement." That's about as vague as it gets, and the details are pretty scarce except for the fact that the properties will be tech-savvy and have large lobbies that incorporate local flair. You can check out the short promotional video below.

Welcome to the Jungle: Best Western Opens a Malaysian Eco-Resort
Yes, you read correctly. Best Western has upped their game and opened up their first eco-resort in Malaysia, as part of the Best Western Premier Collection. It's a luxury resort that is both environmentally-friendly and the perfectly tropical for the ultimate in relaxation. And with a name like The Haven, it can't go wrong.
The 100-room resort north of Kuala Lumpur is in the middle of geological formations dating back 280 million years, surrounded by limestone hills, the Bintang and Kledang Mountains and the rivers of Perka and Kinta. As a sustainable resort, The Haven uses 100 percent renewable energy by harnessing the power of the wind and sun; one of the first hotels in Malaysia to do so.
Guests will be able to soak up a little slice of paradise at the four-level, lagoon-style pool and the private tropical gardens. This isn't your parents' Best Western since each room will serve up panoramic views of the lake while still staying tech savvy with flat-screen TVs and complimentary Wi-Fi.

Is Taking a Virtual Tour Part of Your Pre-Stay Research? (Best Western Hopes So)
Today, Best Western International officially began a partnership with Google to put together virtual tours of all 2,200 of its properties. The plan is to have Google professionally photograph the entire hotel, then string them together to create a "walk-through" experience on the hotel's website.
"Best Western's leadership and owners acted strongly and decisively on two superior market insights: consumer decision making in the hospitality category is increasingly moving online, and the internet is becoming more of a visually-driven medium," said Best Western's Dorothy Dowling, senior vice president of marketing and sales.
While there's no question Dowling is correct in her assessment on a general level when it comes to the Internet, we're still wondering how consumers feel about hotel websites. When we talked about them this summer, photos were definitely something potential customers enjoyed looking at, but experienced hotel-goers also noted how misleading "professional" photos can sometimes be, showing the hotel at its absolute best and not necessarily how it looks day-to-day.

Denver Has a New Dinosaur-Themed Best Western
Most hotels spend lots of money to bring themselves out of the prehistoric era, but the Best Western Denver Southwest did just the opposite, throwing down $4 million to convert itself into a dinosaur-themed property.
The idea for the design came from nearby Dinosaur Ridge, an archaeological site 10 minutes from the hotel that houses the footprints of long-necked sauropods. The 112-room hotel is now all decked out with dinosaur paraphernalia, including skulls, fossil tables, classic dinosaur artwork and an on-site natural history museum dedicated to the prehistoric beasts.
The co-owners of the property said they hope the theme will draw some attention to the excavations that have taken place in the area and help bring tourists to see for themselves.

Did Post-Asiana Airlines Accident Price Gouging Happen at SFO Hotels?
We hoped it wasn't true when we saw the tweet below stating hotels were price gouging after the Asiana Airlines tragedy. We could say we were surprised, but as we've found out just last year during the middle of tropical storm Sandy and Hurricane Irene, these things do happen.
We found some hotels charging $999/room after today's #SFOcrash #weinvestigate @nbcbayarea— Jenna Susko (@JennaSusko) July 7, 2013
But we wanted to find out who would take advantage of such a horrible situation, with so many passengers delayed (many for multiple days) and needing hotels. Surely hoteliers have learned this type of behavior wouldn't go unnoticed?

5 Hotels In Lower Manhattan For River Gazing
For most of us, we're just happy that our hotel room in Manhattan doesn't look out onto a brick wall. But for those of you who are particular about your views, we've rounded up the best hotels in lower Manhattan for river gazing. And no, you don't have to spend a fortune to do it, which is another reason to consider downtown versus uptown when planning your stay.
1. It's all about the views at Ritz-Carlton Battery Park, which also took quite a beating during Hurricane Sandy (everything's back to normal now, though). The 298-room hotel often gets overshadowed by its uptown counterparts (Ritz-Carlton New York Central Park, Mandarin Oriental, Four Seasons New York), but actually this place outshines all of them put together when it comes to fresh sea breezes and plenty of open spaces around the hotel The rooms even come with telescopes!
Rates from $395/night.
Four more after the jump!

What All Hotel Guests Should Know About Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
A tragic story emerged this week about the death of an 11-year-old boy due to carbon monoxide poisoning in his Best Western Plus hotel room. Unfortunately, it was made even more tragic when authorities revealed that the same exact room had been responsible for killing another two guests—also from carbon monoxide poisoning—back in April.
(TIME magazine's 'Hotel Horror' headline was pretty spot on, if you ask us.)
Tests confirmed an "elevated level of carbon monoxide in the room," and the hotel has been shut down for the time being—but the question that keeps circling in our head is: could we be susceptible to carbon monoxide poisoning in our hotel room, too? How would we even know if the levels were high? After all, carbon monoxide is deadlier than other gases because it can't be seen or smelled.
So, to ease our anxiety, we've done a little research that ought to help us (and you) sleep peacefully next time you check into a hotel room. Here are five facts about carbon monoxide poisoning all hotel guests should know:

Even Hotels Evens Up Their Presence in NYC (and Other Hotel Opening News)
Manhattan is still the place to be for hip new hotel brands. Yesterday, we mentioned how Commune Hotels would be opening not one, but two new Tommie Hotels in the Big Apple. Today, we learn that InterContinental Hotel Group's upcoming Even Hotels brand has signed an agreement to open a second hotel in NYC--this time at 321 West 35th Street.
The hotel will be an entirely new build and will feature 150 guestrooms over 25 guest room floors. The rest of the hotel will feature flexible public workspaces, dining and social areas and since this hotel brand is all about health, fitness and wellness, a state-of-the-art,t hree-zone gym. Plus the entire place will be outfitted with free WiFi. The hotel is expected to open in 2015 as will the other Even Hotel on 44th Street. The very first Even Hotel will open sometime in 2014. That location is still TBD.

Spotlight on These 4 Under-The-Radar NYC Hotels
How many NYC hotels welcome you like this?
We're always asked where to stay in New York City and now, more than ever, the choices are plentiful. Everyone is hyper-focused on the new builds coming to town, but there are also some that don't get the love and attention they should. We've got four that fall in both these categories—new jacks and under-the-radar specialsomethins.
·The Tuscany:
This new sister hotel to the St. Giles Court threw open its doors in January. Appealing to guests digging its midtown location (the Chrysler and Empire State buildings are blocks away), the 123-room 1920s landmark building was once a Doral and then a W Hotel. But they've dialed the clock back and discovered treasures including original raised ceilings and fireplaces. The lobby restaurant is called Audrey in homage to Ms. Hepburn who once sipped coffee there back in the day.
The hotel's infamous "Cherry Room", scene of boisterous soirees, will transform into a sophisticated restaurant when the right celeb chef is selected. Also high-end are spacious rooms (starting at 375 square-feet), keeping the building's NYC resident beginnings. Red velvet chaise lounges, leather headboards, original hardwood flooring, and Molton Brown amenities help maintain a classy atmosphere.
Rates begin at $269 per night, though we've seen specials on HotelTonight as the property is in still working out kinks.

Lesley University's unique science and service semester in Guyana wins a national award.
Thursday, May 01, 2014
He achieved this experience through the Guyana Lesley Abroad Service Semester (GLASS), an innovative program that weaves ecological education, the study of indigenous culture, and community service in the South American savannah and rain forest.
"The overall experience was amazing, from getting to immerse myself in a culture that is unknown to most people, to doing hands-on work that helped me progress as a biology major," reflects Makenzie, who is now a senior at Lesley.
The first study abroad program in Guyana, Lesley's program facilitates cultural exchange between students and the Macushi people of the Yupukari region, supporting a local initiative to increase literacy and numeracy among the indigenous population, while providing hands-on environmental studies. The program recently won national acclaim from the Forum on Education Abroad, which honored program co-founder Alice Layton with the Award for Excellence in Education Abroad Curriculum Design for the Indigenous Natural Resource Ecology course.
"This program restores some of the connection we've lost with nature and our own roots as humans," says Dr. David Morimoto, Director of Lesley's Natural Science and Mathematics division. "This is being driven by the real-world problems of indigenous people of Guyana, who face threats to their environment, land, culture and even language, and they need a voice and are benefiting from the power of education."The program creates apprenticeships for students with villagers for practice-based study of tropical ecology, indigenous knowledge, and cross-cultural eco-pedagogy.
"Study abroad is place-based education, and indigenous knowledge is also place-based," explains Alice Layton.
"It's learning to look at your own culture and other cultures consciously, and it's about community service – giving students the lifelong skill of being a helper, whatever profession they choose."

According to Kiley McDaniel, the Yankees will not sign RHP Christopher Cabrera. That leaves the Reds, Red Sox, and Braves as his likely destination.
I miss Adam Dunn.
"You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one."
--Woody Hayes
The Yankees DID sign Christopher Cabrera.
11:07 AM: Three more signings to report, two for less money than expected and one for what I expected. The Brewers have inked RF Jose Pena for $400,000, the Yankees have signed RHP Chris Cabrera for $400,000, and it was confirmed that the Yankees reached a deal with SS Damian Arredondo for $850,000. Sanchez, Arredondo and Cabrera will be the only three signings by the Yankees today, so Jose Osuna apparently will not sign with the Yankees. Two reactions to these pieces of news:
1. Steal by the Brewers. I had a chance to see Pena in action and while some of the $1 million talk could have been misinformation or marketing by people trying to pump his value, $400k is a very nice buy here for Milwaukee.
2. Turns out it wasn't exactly $4 million the Yankees were going to spend, but actually $4.25 (or so, with the Sanchez bonus being a slight gray area). Cue Yankee blogs discussing whether this was some sort of statement by the club about Ynoa's price last year and whether they'd take Ynoa or the Sanchez/Arredondo/Cabrera trio.
11:10 AM: A source close to the situation says that 21-year-old Cuban LHP Aroldis Chapman indeed has defected. There were conflicting reports about the accuracy of a report about this story yesterday.
Sure would've been nice to see the Reds jump in and offer about $600k for Pena.

I miss Adam Dunn.
From what i hear, Valor won't likely be signing this week. Heard there were a lot of teams who attended his workout this week
I miss Adam Dunn.
On Valor, the Reds need to get Venezuelas SS legends Concepcion and Gonzo to do a little recruiting, if it's not all "dollar wins the day."
"Baseball is a very, very complex business. It's more of a people business than most businesses." - Bob Castellini
How many international prospects are expected to sign?
"Now that's a real shame when folks be throwin' away a perfectly good white boy like that."
12:05 PM: A few teams have checked in with me to say that they wont confirm signings until physical are passed, contracts approved by MLB, any pending investigations are completed, etc. Some of these clubs have recently signed guys with falsified ages (lots of teams have), so they just dont want it out there until theyre as certain as they can be that all their ducks are in a row, which is completely understandable. That combined with a number of guys not signing on July 2nd for other reasons (covered in todays article) will make the release of confirmed signings and bonus amounts a slow trickle. Maybe I should start eating and sleeping again.
I miss Adam Dunn.
#Reds top target is Humberto Valor and he isn't likely to sign today
I miss Adam Dunn.
3:28 PM: This might be the last update of the day. Talked to some agents and clubs and it seems like all of this mornings news was stuff that was done days or weeks ago and were now into a secondary market of sorts. Negotiations are just now heating up with this next group of players, but not much movement is expected today. The second and third tier players are now fielding offers from teams that are formulating their final answers after watching the elite guys line up and set the market. Its a similar to how lots of draft picks in sports like football or basketball wont sign until the guy ahead of them sets a ceiling they can negotiate under. Its almost like theres a second signing period that will open up in a day or two with teams currently getting their boards finalized and sending out offers while agents search for the best deal. Of course now that Ive said that Im sure 30 deals will get done in the next 5 minutes
I miss Adam Dunn.
From Ben Badler:
July 2 signing: #Twins sign German OF Max Kepler. Bonus not available but it should be new European bonus record

Tuesday, April 6, 2010
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE -- Just over a month after the last snowfall in Gwinnett, the county has received a new dusting -- a layer of pollen covering cars and other surfaces by the hour.
Last week's predictions of a brutal beginning to pollen season have come true, and the high temperatures have some wondering if Mother Nature skipped spring this year.
"There's one bit of good news. It'll probably bring out the azaleas in Augusta," in time for this week's Masters tournament, said Jon Richards, who runs lawrencevilleweather.com.
Monday's and Tuesday's temperatures reached into the upper 80s, and may have eclipsed a record, he said, and a high pressure area has kept the rain away for more than a week.
With March's flowers blooming late because of the recent cold and April's buds opening, the area has been awash in yellow.
A week ago, the pollen count was trending above 100, but on Tuesday the Atlanta Asthma and Allergy Clinic had the number at nearly 3,000.
"I'm relatively unscathed, but I know a lot of people are complaining," Richards said, adding that his car has taken the brunt of the dusting. "I think a little rain will certainly help."
Gwinnettians should only have to wait until Thursday for that, he said, pointing to a low pressure mass descending from the Midwest. That day, temperatures will reach a more spring-like 71 degrees, he said, and Friday should be a cool 63.
