Fred Harvey: Taming the Wild West With Food
Culinary innovator Fred Harvey at his finest.
The name Fred Harvey might not hold the same weight these days as say, Rachael Ray or even Bob Evans. But during the late 1800s, Harvey's name was synonymous with culinary excellence.
Operator of the first chain of restaurants to service the burgeoning railroad industry, Harvey set incredible standards for food and service. By 1928, he commanded almost 100 restaurants and 25 hotels nationwide. These "Harvey Houses," as they were known, enabled customers to step off a train in the middle of Kansas and, within minutes, enjoy a meal previously available only in cities like New York or Chicago. Harvey's strange notion that customers should be able to eat fresh meat and vegetables, even in the rustic West, changed the face of restaurants in the U.S. permanently.
This NPR segment, originally aired last Thursday, delves into the incredible business savvy of Fred Harvey and how this early day restaurateur changed the way we eat. It features Melissa Block and Stephen Fried, the author of Appetite for America, a new book about the life and work of Harvey.
Give it a listen. It just might make you hungry for a Harvey House.

LEXINGTON, MA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/06/14 -- When trying to get their ideas off the drawing board and into the market, most innovators spend too much time, energy and money using the wrong toolkit to solve the wrong problem. They try to come up with a "perfect idea" that will disrupt the market or change the world. And they apply the wrong management skills: operating and control systems that are optimal for day-to-day execution but often detrimental to the innovation process.
In reality, "perfect" ideas do not exist. Every new idea is partly right and partly wrong. In the "first mile" of development -- i.e., going from the drawing board into the market -- successful innovators use trial-and-error experimentation to refine their ideas and business model. Learning and applying such skills is the only sure path to gaining commercial traction and turning a great new idea into a viable business, according to Scott D. Anthony, Managing Partner and head of the Asia-Pacific operation of strategy and innovation consulting firm Innosight and author of the just-released The First Mile: A Launch Manual for Getting Great Ideas Into the Market (Harvard Business Review Press, May 2014).
The First Mile gives innovators simple tools to help them avoid some of the most common pitfalls of early-stage innovation. Anthony created these tools based on his work with both venture-backed start-ups as well as some of the world's largest companies -- learning from the successes and failures of innovators in businesses of all shapes and sizes, and in a wide range of markets.
"How innovators navigate the first mile will determine whether the idea flies or fails, potentially taking the entire company up or down with it," says Anthony. "Most businesses operate on a principle of maximizing certainty and minimizing mistakes, but the innovation process is rife with uncertainty, mistakes and failure. In reality, mistakes and failure are a necessary part of the process and invaluable in pointing the way toward success -- if you are properly prepared and know how to handle them."
Without The Right Skills, Innovators Are Vulnerable to Four Key Mistakes
When innovators start with the wrong objective, or misunderstand innovation's key imperatives, they are in danger of making four common and often disastrous mistakes:
- Running out of fuel: Money is the lifeblood of innovation. The right kind of planning ensures innovators have sufficient funding to keep the venture running long enough to get market traction.
- Hiring the wrong driver: Not every executive has the right skills -- it takes a unique combination of customer empathy and business savvy. A leader needs both to guide the venture successfully through innovation's first mile.
- Making a wrong turn: Innovators are often lured into empty market spaces with visions of big opportunity (e.g., "blue ocean" and "greenfield" opportunities), but sometimes these spaces are empty for a good reason and the market potential is illusory.
- Spinning out: Too many innovative businesses make the cardinal mistake of scaling too fast, before they nail the economics and business model. To succeed, first nail it, then scale it.
To Succeed, Address Three Burning Questions
"Successful innovation is all about proving you can answer yes to three key questions, rather than assuming they are all true," says Anthony. "Does anybody need it? Can we do it? Do the numbers work? If you can't answer yes to all those questions, and prove it, then the odds that you have a commercially viable idea are quite low. But if you can, you may be on a path to something big."
Three key development hurdles every idea must cross in the first mile:
1. Is there a need? - Prove a deep customer need. Establish that the customer exists; identify the job he or she is struggling to get done; prove the job is important and unsatisfied.
2. Can you do it? - Prove the concept. Confirm that the solution solves the problem repeatedly and reliably; demonstrate that it's superior to other options; define what it looks and feels like.
3. Is it worth it? - Prove the economics. Identify the sources of revenue, as well as the costs, resources and operations required to earn that revenue; identify a viable path to commercialization.
Leading an Innovation Effort Requires Specialized Skills and Systems
Anthony argues that most organizations are short on the right innovation skills, including: a willingness to experiment for its own sake; an ability to welcome and learn from the unexpected; and comfort with rapid course corrections. Most of today's top executives and managers don't have these skills because they did not grow up with the pace of change they face today.
He outlines four leadership mandates that are essential to navigating innovation's first mile:
- Piercing through the "fog of innovation" - Bias action over analysis to avoid "analysis paralysis"; focus more on learning than quantitative targets; use small diverse teams; and task decision makers with experimentation (i.e., don't let them just be "arm-chair innovators").
- Encouraging smart risk taking and not overly penalizing failure - Evaluate people more on successful behaviors than "objective" outputs; use asymmetric reward systems (i.e., large rewards for success and small penalties for failure).
- Knowing how and when to disengage, and ending the plague of "zombie projects" - Stop escalating commitments when you clearly hit a dead end; "shut it down, extract the lessons and celebrate the learning."
- Fostering connections to external experts, customers, and employees - Build formal and informal networks; leverage the "wisdom of crowds"; increase opportunities and avenues for collaboration.
As examples of successful innovators, Anthony points to companies like:
- W.L. Gore & Associates, maker of Goretex, puts experimentation at the heart of its culture: incentivizing teams to self-form around new opportunities, but also regularly giving out "sharp shooter" awards to those who "put down" dead-end projects.
- Netflix built its disruptive technologies and business model through a rigorous and disciplined approach to experimentation -- not just in moving from DVD rental to streaming video, but also in original content production.
- Adobe smartly managed the risk behind transforming its business model from prepackaged software to a software-as-a-service model by testing key assumptions in Australia before spreading the new model globally.
- Citi launched a global collaboration hub that brings together employees from around the world -- its first global challenge in 2011 generated 2,300 hundred ideas from 45,000 employees across 13 business units in 97 countries.
- Unilever maintains a "street" at its Indian headquarters in Hindustan where new product teams pitch ideas to employees.
The First Mile Imperative: Maximize the "Trial," Learn from the "Errors"
"All innovation ventures go through multiple course corrections before finding the exact right path," says Anthony. "In this process, one's arch nemesis is uncertainty in all its forms -- especially assumptions and rosy predictions that the innovator fails to question or verify."
Anthony urges innovators to follow a process called "DEFT" to test their assumptions and prove the commercial viability of their ideas:
- DOCUMENT: Identify hidden assumptions using tools like questionnaires, a single-page "idea resume" or "business model canvas."
- EVALUATE: Appraise the idea from multiple angles using role play scenarios, pattern based analysis and financial models like reverse income statements.
- FOCUS: Narrow and prioritize uncertainties using "certainty tables" and "impact assessment" to focus on the risks with the greatest potential impact.
- TEST & ADAPT: Design in-market and thought experiments that help maximize learning and apply the lessons, so you can refine your business model and strategy and reduce your risks.
He invokes many case studies to illustrate the tools and process steps, including:
- Procter & Gamble's use of computer simulations -- running nearly 10,000 market scenarios -- helped them sharpen their approach to developing in-market trials for a new probiotic product.
- Godrej & Boyce's spot sensitivity analysis to test consumer purchasing power and price points for its successful battery-powered refrigeration system "chotuKool."
- Medtronic carefully crafted pilot programs at a handful of hospitals in India, to develop a disruptive business model that brings pacemakers to patients who sorely needed them, but historically couldn't access or afford the technology.
- U.S. Navy's early testing protocols for radiation shielding in nuclear submarines.
"Great ideas and businesses are forged in the heat of the marketplace, and they never survive their first contact with the market totally intact," says Anthony. "Companies and entrepreneurs need to get past the myth of the 'perfect idea' and focus on trial-and-error experimentation, which is the true test of innovation. If you are systematic in breaking down your assumptions and proving your idea in the market, then you and your idea stand a fighting chance at disruption, and maybe even changing the world."

Hi! I was just reading the TOU and part of it is really concerning... Why upload to a rehosting site? I love the concept of your site but I don't want my content on some shady reuploading site that breaks other users TOU... I'm curious why you guys decided to do things this way...
Because one of the biggest problems the simming community has always
faced is that creators move on and are no longer interested in simming,
then their filehost goes down, and then no-one can access their files
any more - and as a result of that, other CC like recolours, sims, lots,
edits also become unusable. Even if you can contact the creator, which
you often can't, they usually can't help because they don't have the files any more. Sharing SFS files if we go down solves that problem for
creators who've used SFS.

Let's run through some quick observations on the Panthers' 17-16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Thursday night's preseason finale:
Coach Ron Rivera held out just about all of his starters and it showed. Charlie Batch and Pittsburgh's offense went right through Carolina's defense for a touchdown on the first drive of the night. But let's keep in mind this wasn't Carolina's rebuilt -- and healthy -- first-team defense.
Veteran backup Derek Anderson got the start at quarterback and played the first half. Jimmy Clausen replaced him. The Panthers already have decided Anderson will be Cam Newton's backup. I've been back and forth on whether or not the Panthers should even keep Clausen, a second-round draft pick in 2010, on the roster. After watching Clausen in extended playing time, I say keep him around. Clausen wasn't flawless, but he showed more than I've seen out of him in a long time (maybe since his Notre Dame days). He led the Panthers on a long touchdown drive on his first series. He also threw a long touchdown pass in the fourth quarter. I had been thinking the Panthers might be better off letting Clausen go, keeping only two quarterbacks on the active roster and bringing in a developmental project on the practice squad. But I think Clausen showed he still has some upside. I'd keep him around, just in case something happens to Newton or Anderson. If it does, I'd rather see Clausen than some developmental guy.
The Panthers have gone to great lengths to improve the special teams. But I think there's still reason for concern. It was negated by a penalty, but Pittsburgh's Chris Rainey had what should have been a 78-yard punt return for a touchdown.
One guy who continues to impress me is defensive end Thomas Keiser. He's done some good things earlier in the preseason and he did it again against the Steelers. Keiser swatted down a Batch pass at the line of scrimmage. I think Keiser's emergence was a big reason why Eric Norwood was released earlier in the week.
I think receiver Joe Adams makes the team, mostly because the team used a fourth-round pick on him. But I think the Panthers might go slowly with Adams, who was a contender for some work as a return man. But I think Adam's muffed punt return and lost fumble could prompt the Panthers to bring him along slowly. He did have a 20-yard punt return at the end of the first half.
Speaking of rookie receivers, it's going to be difficult to cut undrafted free agent Jared Green. He had a nice training camp and caught a touchdown pass from Clausen on Thursday night. I think the numbers make it almost impossible to keep Green on the 53-man roster. But I think he's a strong candidate for the practice squad.
The quick conclusion when the Panthers released veteran Olindo Mare was that Justin Medlock would be their kicker. He still might be. But Medlock missed two field-goal attempts on Thursday. Neither was a chip shot, but you still have to wonder if the Panthers might watch the waiver wire for kickers.

The 2015 Ford Focus, the world's best-selling nameplate, is expected to hold onto this coveted title with a bold new look that emulates other recent Ford vehicle designs and more advanced technologies that improve driver comfort and safety.
Redesigned Ford Focus delivers 1.0-liter EcoBoost(R) engine, new exterior design, completely revised interior and advanced new technologies for improved customer comfort and safety. (Photo: Business Wire)
The new look and added technologies were revealed today at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the world's largest exhibition for the mobile industry.
"We have taken the title of world's best-selling nameplate to impressive new heights with the redesigned Focus," said Joe Hinrichs, Ford executive vice president and president of The Americas. "Its combination of compelling, modern design and the most high-tech interior in the class will appeal to contemporary consumers who desire a small car with very sophisticated features. What makes Focus so attractive to consumers today – being great to drive, delivering exceptional fuel economy and value, and offering leading-edge in-car technologies – is amplified with the new Focus."
Award-winning 1.0-liter EcoBoost
In addition to a host of styling and technological advances, the new Focus will offer the remarkably efficient, fun-to-drive, award-winning 1.0-liter EcoBoost® engine with a six-speed transmission – surpassing the fuel efficiency of the previous model, and once again raising the bar amongst the competition. Twice already, automotive journalists have named Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost powerplant International Engine of the Year, for 2012 and 2013.
"The 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is proof that excellent fuel economy and performance can come in one package," said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president, global product development. "Focus is already known for bringing together efficiency and fun, and our latest addition will bring consumers a whole new level of enjoyment – on the road and at the pump."
The smallest engine in the company's growing EcoBoost family will increase the choice for Ford customers in the United States, as Fiesta is already available with the 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine.
In Europe, where it is already on five nameplates, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost accounts for 32 percent of sales of the current-generation Focus and 26 percent of Fiesta sales this year. Robust demand for the 1.0-liter in Europe has prompted Ford to double production capacity at its state-of-the-art plant in Cologne, Germany, to more than 1,000 engines a day.
EcoBoost technology combines smaller-displacement engines with turbocharging, direct injection, variable valve timing and proprietary Ford software to bring customers outstanding performance and fuel economy. Ford EcoBoost engines can deliver significantly better fuel economy than larger-displacement gasoline engines.
Stylish new Focus
The new Focus will arrive with a more stylish, bold look. It features a restyled hood and grille, signature lighting for the headlamps and taillamps, new rear lamp clusters and a restyled trunk lid. Four-door and five-door versions will be available in the United States.
Inside, colors and materials have a clean, modern look, with satin chrome detailing, new seat trims, switches and an available heated steering wheel. Storage is improved with a new center console incorporating adjustable cupholders, and a new, easier-to-access glove box.
Advanced technologies
A package of sensors brings a new level of convenience for compact car customers by adding driver-assist technologies including a rearview camera and an available Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) and lane-keeping system.
Standard on Focus for the first time, the rearview camera will appear on either a 4.2-inch screen or the 8-inch screen that comes with MyFord Touch®-equipped cars.
BLIS uses two multiple-beam radar modules, the same used with cross-traffic alert, which are packaged in the rear quarter panels, one on each side. The radar identifies when a vehicle enters the defined blind spot zone and illuminates an indicator light on the corresponding sideview mirror, providing a warning that a vehicle is approaching.
Should a Focus driver start to drift out of the current lane without a turn signal on, the available lane-keeping system provides a warning through a series of steering wheel vibrations that mimic a rumble strip. If the unintended lane departure is not corrected by the driver, the aid function of the system actively applies steering torque to help the driver direct the car back toward the center of the current lane.
SYNC AppLink
New Focus drivers will also have access to powerful new capabilities thanks to a host of new functions developers can integrate as they modify their apps to communicate with enhanced SYNC® AppLink™.
Android and iOS smartphone owners can download more than 60 AppLink-enabled apps from the Apple App Store and Android market.
New functions include:
- Connected apps can access a variety of real-time vehicle data such as speed, acceleration, odometer and location information that can be used by the app to further customize and personalize the user experience. For example, access to the in-vehicle GPS signal can enable more precise and accurate location-based services than phone sensors
- More consistent user experience thanks to voice pass-through capability. This enables developers to use on-device or cloud-based voice-recognition systems to evaluate driver commands, meaning drivers can use the same set of voice commands to control an app when connected to the vehicle as they would use when not connected
- Notifications read aloud as a driver enters the car, with no need to touch the phone. Best of all, alerts are available any time a mobile device is connected to SYNC AppLink, even if the app is not currently active. This means a driver could get an alert about a traffic jam ahead while listening to the radio or using another app
In addition to the many advancements in exterior styling, interior design, powertrain and technology, the new Focus will also benefit from suspension and chassis upgrades. These include a new shock absorber valve design providing improved interior quietness, a new electronic stability program system with less intrusion and improved comfort, and a change to the rear suspension to give drivers a more connected feel to the road.
The 2015 Ford Focus goes on sale in the second half of 2014.

Along with a more-than billion-dollar budget deficit, the latest budget forecast for Minnesota also predicts that electronic pulltabs partially funding a new Vikings stadium won't raise as much money as expected over the next five years. Budget officials attribute it to slower-than-expected implementation of electronic gaming options and reduced estimates for daily revenue from each gaming device. The projected revenue from the new electronic gambling had been $34-million, but has now been cut to $16-million. The state has also cut its projections through 2017 by $9-million. The expanded gambling is a major part of the state's $348-million share of the nearly $1-billion stadium. State officials say that the lower revenue is not a cause for concern, and that new games are being rolled out slowly to make sure it's done right.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste

Novak Djokovic proved he is the dominant force in men's tennis by outplaying defending champion Rafa Nadal to win Wimbledon for the first time with an emphatic 6-4 6-1 1-6 6-3 victory in Sunday's final.
The Serbian second seed was already assured of leap-frogging Nadal at the top of the world rankings and he continued his spectacular year by claiming the trophy he has always dreamed of lifting above his head.
Top seed Nadal had not lost at the grasscourt grand slam since the 2007 final against Roger Federer, a 20-match streak, but could not live with Djokovic in the grand finale to the 125th Wimbledon championships.
It was not the classic final widely expected but that was largely to do with the staggering quality of Djokovic's play as he claimed his third grand slam title.
Despite winning 47 of his 48 matches this year and beating Nadal in four consecutive finals, the 24-year-old started as the underdog having never got the better of the Spaniard in a grand slam match.
Despite a lapse in the third set he was always in control, clinching victory on his first match point when Nadal fired a backhand over the baseline to spark emotional scenes in the players' box where his father Srdjan and mother Dijana hugged and danced.
After consoling a crestfallen Nadal at the net, Djokovic bent down, yanked a tuft of grass from the famous court and put it in his mouth.
He then threw three rackets into the crowd before closing his eyes to absorb the enormity of his achievement in breaking the Roger Federer/Nadal domination of the tournament stretching back to 2003.
'Best day of my life'
"This is the best day of my life, this is the tournament I always dreamed of winning," Djokovic said following the presentation ceremony. "When you are playing the best player in the world, Rafa Nadal, I had to play at the top of my game and I think I played my best match on grass."
Nadal began the match as he finished against British hope Andy Murray in the semi-finals, scorching two forehands past Djokovic to threaten an immediate break of serve.
Djokovic, though, took a deep breath and repelled Nadal's early attack before the match settled into a ryhthm with neither player showing any weakness on serve until the 10th game.
At 30-30 Nadal hooked a forehand into the net and followed that with another loose stroke into the tramlines as Djokovic seized the opening set from out of the blue.
With his confidence soaring Djokovic pounced early in the second to gain a break. Showing the kind of court coverage that has become such a big part of his armoury this year he reached a Nadal drop shot and flicked the ball behind the net-rushing Spaniard, greeting the winner with a Serbian roar.
Two pinpoint aces made it five games in a row and a stranglehold of the final that was rapidly slipping away from Nadal. In the sixth game Djokovic produced a stunning drop shot, then a topspin lob and a wrong-footing forehand to earn another break on the way to taking the set in 33 minutes.
Suddenly the crowd's support swung to Nadal and the fighback they wanted began almost immediately when the Spaniard seized on a few Djokovic errors to race through the third set.
For a while it looked as though Nadal could become the first man to win the Wimbledon title from two sets behind since 1927 as the momentum changed.
But Djokovic was not about to choke.
Even when Nadal got a huge slice of luck to break back in the third game of the fourth set with a backhand that dribbled off the netcord and died on Djokovic's side, the Serb remained steadfast, his self-belief unshaken.
Djokovic continued to match Nadal from the baseline and he broke the Spaniard's serve again in the eighth game before clinching victory on his first match point.
