Seeking a Global Future Beyond the Horizon of Conventional Rationality
Summer is approaching, my backyard has come to life with the lush greenery of late Spring in northeast Ohio, our youngest daughter just graduated high school, and as I take a moment to reflect, interrupting my accustomed pattern of research, gardening, and violin practice, it suddenly occurs to me: By this time next week I will be in Milan...
Education at the Edge of Possibility (Part II)
My most recent professional experiences have brought me back to think about evolving education. In my previous blog I shared a little bit of the journey that has taken me to this moment. By evolving education I mean both integrating learning into life as well as designing new learing systems. Both are necessary. The first is about supporting...
Global Managers: Global Network as Their Office
Most, if not all, know the popular saying "Think globally and act locally." Originally this saying was a cry for sustainable living; that is, to care for the earth's environment by consciously examining and changing how one lives and works. Not only does this saying now refer to much more, when applying it to global...
Education at the Edge of Possibility (Part I)
Education has always been close to my heart. It is my joy for learning that has kept me connected to the educational field, even though I had some painful learning experiences in my formal education. As a mother, I see my teen daughter questioning schooling practices that are not relevant, meaningful or enjoyable. When I was a little girl, I knew...
Creating Conditions for Learning and Change When "Everything You Do is an Intervention"
Following some encounters I had early last month leading up to the 104th anniversary of the International Women's Day I am reminded of lessons learned here at Saybrook University on helping human systems. I participated in an event with a group of about 100 Christian women from one of the parishes in Southwestern Kenya at a church located...
Complexity and Grace
I have been teaching systems thinking as an approach to deal with complexity for many years. Complexity has become a catch word, something that is recognized as a part of modern life, something that should not be ignored or simplified. We have too many examples of reductionist approaches that tried to solve a problem through a technological (quick...
Creating Safe Spaces to Turn Challenges into Opportunities
Many of today's complexity-related challenges require leaders to create more space in the workplace for people to share their difficulties and concerns, and explore new ways of addressing them. Whenever we are facing the unknown, doing something we haven't done before, and unsure how to approach a new challenge or what the outcome...
The T-Summit
I recently attended a meeting at the Almaden Research Lab near San Jose, CA. The T-Summit was jointly sponsored by Michigan State University's Collegiate Employment Research Institute and IBM's Global University Programs. As described in the announcement about the meeting: Employers are placing...
Shifting From International to Inter-Cultural Global Manager
Over the last five decades, while business contexts were evolving from national to international to transnational and now to global, workplace environments were shifting from "control-oriented" hierarchies to interactive teams to social networking ecologies. Such shifts in perspectives, accompanied by innovations in digital-based...
Revitalizing Downtown Communities
Recently I had the opportunity to visit and experience the work being done as part of the Las Vegas Downtown Project. It is a $350M project with a mission to " transform Las Vegas into the most community-focused large city in the world". They are working on that mission actively through the purchase of real...
Saybrook in Japan: An International Collaboration for Innovation in Applied Systems Science
I just returned from another trip to Japan, this time including a first visit to Osaka. The first few days were spent in Tokyo, at the seventh workshop and symposium about service systems science, hosted by Prof. Kyoichi (Jim) Kijima from the Tokyo Institute of Technology. The purpose of the event was "to describe visions of the...
Myths About Leadership
In 2010 IBM published a study identifying complexity as the primary challenge for leaders. Intuitively, we can relate to this study's premise. However, we may have different understandings of complexity ranging from mere complication to total chaos. Complexity can be defined as a state of intricacy, complication, variety and...

Fresh pumpkins are available through the fall and winter.
Tasty Tip
Cut in half, scrape out seeds, cut into pieces, remove the hard outer peel with a vegetable peeler, and boil for 20 minutes in lightly salted water. Drain, mash, or puree in blender, then season as you wish.
Quick & Easy Recipe
To bake a whole pumpkin, cut off the top with the stem to use as a lid. Scrape out the seeds and pulp. Brush with melted butter, sprinkle with salt, and if you like, add a touch of brown sugar. Replace lid, and bake a 350°F (175°C) until tender for about 45 minutes. Serve as is, cut into pieces, or scrape out the flesh and puree.

They only have one goal left. That single goal is to teach your children and grandchildren that religion is merely a product of evolution—a manmade creation that humans ignorantly sustain today. In short, evolutionists suggest that they have a materialistic answer for everything. As E.O. Wilson noted: "The final decisive edge enjoyed by scientific naturalism will come from its capacity to explain traditional religion, its chief competitor, as a wholly material phenomenon. Theology is not likely to survive as an independent intellectual discipline" (1995, p. 192).
Think about it. Evolutionists offer a hypothesis of why we walk on two legs, why we crawled out of the ocean to become land-dwelling creatures, why we lost so much hair, why we have such large brain—and now they are focusing on the last icon that stands in the way of a completely materialistic/atheistic society: how to explain away God.
We need to make young people aware that evolutiontists have dug in their heels and refuse to give way—even if the evidence points in another direction. As Scott C. Todd admitted: "Even if all the data point to an intelligent designer, such an hypothesis is excluded from science because it is not naturalistic" (1999, 401:423). Richard Lewontin lamented: "We cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door" (1997, p. 31, emp. added).
Try as they will, evolutionists never will be able to explain away religion or an Almighty Creator! But they are extremely effective at confusing young people. And what many do not understand is that evolutionists today are not taking aim at the cross and Jesus Christ. They are smart enough to know that such tactics would cause an uprising among faithful Christians all across this nation. Instead, they are focusing on the foundation in which that cross resides. Little by little they are undermining everything that the New Testament teaches, and yet they are doing it in such a way that Christians today do not even realize it until it is too late. The next time you hear the "latest and greatest" theory from science, ask yourself how it fits in with God's Word—including Genesis 1.

Good Health, well-being and life in general depend on a functional micro-circulation, the blood flow in the tiniest blood vessels of our bodies, known as capillaries. It is exclusively there where nutrients and oxygen, metabolic waste products and carbon dioxide are exchanged with all of the body's cells. This microcirculatory system represents about 74% of our bodies' entire network of blood vessels and is therefore one of the most important factors for normal, healthy body function. As we age, our capillaries become less perfused, and the flow of blood to the cells slows. The result is an increased risk of disease, fatigue and premature aging. However, we are able to significantly influence this process with BEMER Technology:
BEMER Technology, a biophysical application to optimize the body's own natural vitality and wellbeing is the state of the art "Information Medicine". By means of sending a unique signal to the body, BEMER stimulates the rhythmic pumping action (vasomotion) of our bodies' tiniest blood vessels – the microcirculation. Distribution of the very essences of life is improved with its use. The benefits of BEMER technology is the support of the body's own healing and maintaining abilities; they reach the entire body and can be experienced by everyone with no known negative side-effects. The signal itself is carried on pulsed electromagnetic fields. We chose Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields (PEMF) because it is safe, and because it is technologically and economically feasible. The use of PEMF however, is merely incidental to that purpose and not causal to the biological effects observed. It is just the carrier medium. We could as well use light waves or mechanical waves like ultrasound, etc. That is why BEMER is not to be considered a PEMF device per se. It is in fact very different from the many PEMF devices that are advertised on the market which really have not much in common with the BEMER technology at all. However, the Internet is full of self-proclaimed "review" websites who misrepresent material facts about the BEMER technology and its brand. BEMER is one of the pioneers and at the forefront in the new field of "Information Medicine" and with this, shifting an entire paradigm of holistic and preventive medicine and its therapeutic applications. It is compatible with and complementary to conventional medical treatments and procedures. A fast growing number of hospitals, medical professionals (physicians and practitioners) as well as athletes and individual BEMER enthusiasts of all demographics in over 40 countries around the world are successfully using clinically proven and FDA registered BEMER devices to improve the quality of their lives.
Please watch!
The BEMER Signal is the result of 15 years of ongoing scientific research (clinical trials, double-blind, placebo controlled studies in addition to the FDA study which is currently being conducted) in collaboration with independent research facilities such as medical faculties of diverse universities, independent institutes, health professionals and BEMER Group's own research resources. Hundreds of thousands of BEMER applications all over the world and empirical observations by means of real-time images, using combined hi-tech intravital microscopy and laser-doppler flowometry, have ultimately led to the patented BEMER signal configuration. Since 2012, NASA is contemplating the possibility of integrating BEMER technology into their own developments as the BEMER signal is recognized as the most researched, most advanced and most effective signal for the enhancement of microcirculation and other physiological regulatory processes. In metaphoric words, it is precisely this unique signal configuration that constitutes a newly deciphered letter in the alphabet of a universal signal "language" that is understood by the body to trigger physiological processes. With these discoveries, BEMER is at the forefront in the new field of "Information Medicine."
We often hear or read about different brands of "PEMF" devices who base their claims on the effect which pulsed electromagnetic fields somehow have on our bodies. It is often mentioned that biological effects are caused by certain energy outputs and frequencies which are to be high or low or user adjustable, etc. However, what is really important (and yet often neglected) is actually the presence of a very specific signal configuration in which the waveform plays an extremely important role as well. This specific signal configuration is what constitutes the "information" which is transferred to the body and which appears to cause the observed effects. In other words: It's not the pulsed electromagnetic field per se, but the "information" carried by the field. Think of radio-waves which modulate our voices and carry spoken word. If the station is on air but nobody speaks, there is no information. So, the field is only the carrier medium. Indeed, just like PEMF can be used, other media could be used as well, for example light waves. In fact, BEMER research recognized this fact and developed light applicators which produced the same remarkable effect as its PEMF modules.
Analogies may help us understand this technology much easier!
Let's imagine the BEMER signal as a popular song, as a beautifully composed sequence of musical notes (signal configuration) and its accompanying lyrics (information). Playing these notes in the right order, with the correct rhythm and with the right volume, we are able to recognize a well-known melody. Interestingly enough, it does not seem to matter what instrument we play the melody on. Whether played on a piano or a saxophone (carrier medium), we always recognize the song. The melody catches our attention and makes us receptive for the lyrics contained. And given these exact lyrics, that song becomes meaningful to us as it tells a story or is associated with memories, hence able to trigger emotions or other reactions. The song is the signal, and we react to it. So, if you will, the BEMER signal is just that song to our bodies.
But should users be able to adjust the signal, as other manufacturers suggest? Let's look at the analogy again: If we changed the notes, changed the sequence, the tones, the rhythm, etc. of a complex composition, we would most likely change the melody beyond recognition. No one would recognize the song anymore. The uniquely characteristic melody is lost and with it, the song itself, the memories, the associations. Unless we were skilled and talented composers and musicians, by changing the notes and rhythm we would most likely end up creating a dis-harmonic noise. Additionally, with the lyrics changed to a language we don't understand, this noise now would have become completely meaningless to us. Chances are we would not react to this type of "signal" anymore. It is as good as 'honking' a horn.
This is precisely where BEMER's research of signal configurations over the past 15 years has led to; remarkable discoveries and developments of very peculiar and unique signal configurations which must not be altered. It it is important to preserve these signal configuration, unaltered.
Today, the BEMER signal is a well composed "song" carrying precise information which is recognized by our bodies, stimulating vasomotion and thus improving our microcirculation
BEMER Group has evolved to be a cutting-edge technology leader in the field of Information Medicine. Its patented signal configuration is the most effective signal developed so far. BEMER research has only just begun to uncover the elements of the universal "language" in which our bodies communicate and control our biological functions. It is a new holistic paradigm of medicine in which our bodies return to do what they were designed to do best: To live in health.
Let's take a look at what we might find on line about BEMER technology!
Like almost everything you 'google' search today to research, you find some conflicting information, (I know I did when I first 'vetted ' BEMER). Let's remember that the Internet is an open forum for everyone to explore a vast source of information…and… unfortunately also misinformation. We hope that you will do as I did, and that is come to your own conclusions about the validity of the notorious claims and statements made on websites that say, "Don't buy BEMER" which are often sponsored by competitors. You will find interesting that some self- proclaimed "review" websites are actually written precisely by representatives of BEMER's competitors offering alleged objective comparisons. Needless to say that their devices are always found to be the best. Whatever one may think, it seems quite remarkable, to observe that some companies deem it necessary to engage in misinformation campaigns of this kind, posing as "reviewers" and citing scientific work which is in fact unrelated to their respective product. If you wonder why you will never find similar kinds of websites or statements from BEMER, it is because the BEMER company has anchored "ethics" very strongly in their mission statement. But besides that, and quite frankly, BEMER finds such behavior pitiful, unnecessary and more revealing about the author or company who runs these websites rather than the product. BEMER's success in over 40 countries across the globe is the inevitable result of 15 years of extraordinary scientific achievements, technological developments and ethical business conduct based on integrity. As a mature and competent enterprise, BEMER just does not waste energy on putting others down, and certainly sees its financial resources better spent on research & development and true contributions to science and medical progress than on paying Google for primitive, hostile ad- campaigns, search-engine placement, spam and other non-sense. Instead, BEMER is a company that prefers to share it's remarkable achievements with the world.
Ask for the Science!
I would like to encourage you to actually speak with companies like the one behind "Don't buy BEMER" and ask them directly which scientific work specifically used THEIR particular devices and/or signal configuration. Next to hearing crickets, you will find that a lot of them (if not all) are quite remarkably vague on this significant detail. Instead, they mostly just jump on the bandwagon of generic PEMF research conducted by institutions unrelated to their business, making unspecific and unproven claims as to the applicability of the research to their devices. In other words: The all so often cited science has not much, if anything, to do with their products. Not so with BEMER. At BEMER you will find clinical trials that have been conducted using genuine BEMER devices and/or BEMER's signal configurations.
The Truth about NASA
Despite the impressing NASA logo on some manufacturers' websites (which by the way, is illegal to be used in this context of private marketing), NASA is neither endorsing these companies or any of their statements, nor has the signal used by them anything to do with what NASA is currently researching. In fact, the BEMER Company is currently in talks with NASA about a possible joint venture research project after its signal configuration and its bioactive efficacy had caught the attention of NASA. The "NASA square waveform" proudly cited by one of BEMER's competitors is, quite simply, non-existent. But despite NASA's interest and advanced relationships with the BEMER company, BEMER would not abuse its genuinely scientifically motivated relationship and illegitimately stamp the NASA logo on their website in an attempt to "gain some weight".
Why is BEMER Technology different?
The BEMER signal is not based on mere mathematical predictions and theoretical presumptions about simple wave-forms, but empirically researched through real-time observations using combined intravital-microscopy and laser-doppler flowometry in the Institute of Microcirculation in Berlin, Germany and other institutes. Few research-centers in the world have this multi-million dollar equipment available with which BEMER technology has been thoroughly investigated, researched and developed over the last 15 years. The amount of scientific evidence produced with genuine BEMER equipment, is unprecedented.
What about the FDA?
Another misrepresentation of a material fact commonly found on "review" websites is the claim that BEMER is allegedly not registered with the FDA. This is incorrect and yet another untruth. BEMER is listed as a medical device and registered with the FDA. The records are available to the public and anyone can look them up on the FDA's public website. In fact, BEMER is currently conducting clinical trials as part of an FDA study that will lead to BEMER being the first, and so far only, device of its kind to obtain an FDA approval (not a mere 'registration') for its physiological efficacy in its field of investigation.
BEMER Medical Usage
In Germany, BEMER is fully recognized as a class 2a medical device, successfully used in hospitals, by clinicians and hundreds of health professionals across the country. "BEMER Vascular Therapy", an officially established therapeutic treatment modality, has its own billing codes and is reimbursable by various health insurance carriers. Medical doctors can and do "prescribe" BEMER Vascular Therapy and BEMER devices for home use.
BEMER is one of the most researched and most effective physical treatment methods in its field. For information and facts about statements made on "review" websites please visit: http://www.reviewbemer3000.com
As a thriving and responsible company, BEMER is at the forefront in the new field of "Information Medicine," setting new milestones in the discovery of a paradigm-shifting approach to preventive medicine. The medicine of the future..

I need to check the network connection during uninstalling my product using 'rpm -e mypackage'. I tried using the preuninstall script, but if I return a non-zero exit code from it, rpm itself prints an error saying,

Is there a way I can have rpm abort the uninstall, but not print its own ugly error message?

State Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, is urging state regulators to reconsider a plan to create a second area code in the 18-county 315 region.
The state Public Service Commission is considering plans to divide the region into two zones and impose a new area code on one of them, or overlay the new area code across the entire region, and apply it for new numbers only.
Overlaying the new area code would require residents to dial 10 or 11 digits to complete both local and long-distance calls.
In a letter to the PSC, Sen. Ritchie said regulators had not adequately demonstrated the need for the new area code, citing declining population and a weakened economy, and said that hundreds of thousands of available phone numbers still exist within the 315 area.
Instead, she asked the PSC to conduct a further study of available phone numbers and find alternatives to 10- or 11-digit dialing for local calls.
Consumers can weigh in on the PSC plan until July 31 by submitting comments online at: http://wdt.me/woZKGW.

25 Years Later, Toxic Waste Torments Bhopal - NYTimes.com
The Bhopal gas tragedy happened 25 years ago, yet the causalties continue to pour in. When the Iraq war happened, US citizens poured into the streets to protest...however futile the protests may have seemed, the public outrage left its mark. In Bhopal, India, in contrast, where one of the worst industrial disaster in history occured, where people suffered and continue to suffer, the public (and government) apathy is appaling. A hunger strike that continues in Delhi to attract the ever-elusive government attention continues as I write these lines. Why does the gas tragedy repeat itself again and again in children born and raised in the area? Do we deem them a part of history too: to be mourned with the rest?
6 Comments
Everyone has heard/read about the gas tragedy, but the current status is something that is not clear, and there seems to be lot of miscommunication. I read somewhere that some agreement was reached between the government and the company (Dow or Union Carbide) and the issue was settled, but the compensation was not satisfactory. Is that true? If so, the Indian/state govt deserves more blame than the company.. Do you have more information about this?
Hi Nitin,
The Indian Government is certainly not blameless, but the tragedy was caused by Union Carbide which along with its then CEO Warren Anderson continue to evade Indian courts and when Dow bought Union Carbide, by both Indian and American law, it not only inherited its assets but also its liabilities. Here are a couple od videos which give details of the how-when-why of the tragedy.
The below video shows the current problem in Bhopal and the plight of the protestors who are demanding justice
Its also interesting to note that 20 US senators wrote a letter to Manmohan Singh earlier this year holding Dow responsible for what had happened in Bhopal:http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/US_Senators_Hold_Dow_responsibl... .In spite of that the Indian Government has failed to react.The blame certainly lies on both sides: one for criminal injustice and recklessness and the other one for selling out to them...
As some of you may be aware, there exists an international campaign for justice in Bhopal - http://studentsforbhopal.org/ - in which there are people involved from all over the globe. Visit this link for SfB's demands: http://studentsforbhopal.org/CampaignDemands.htm .
There are simple ways in which anyone interested can contribute to this campaign. These could range from faxing or phoning govt officials to opposing DOW's collaboration with your company or institute. Some of us had joined the Global Hunger Fast on 28th June to show solidarity with some Bhopalis who had gone on an indefinite fast in Delhi. The fasts were registered online for the sake of visibility (to the Bhopalis as well as outsiders). One can also join the peaceful public protests which are held from time to time (There was one in B'lore days before the global fast).
Hey Amrita,
I happened to see the videos you mention from an independent source. Please embed them in the story (you can get the embed code on the utube page). It might be missed in the comments. I think the videos are very informative and a must watch!!!

Dear all:
The Hindu Group of Newspapers has sought out Dow Chemicals as sponsor
for Chennai's signature event -- the November Music Festival that runs
from 17 November to 22 November.
Check out: http://www.hinduonnet.com/novemberfest/who.htm for program
and other details. Take Action Against this sponsorship. The Hindu and
the Frontline magazine have been consistent and sensitive in covering
Bhopal over the last two decades. It is unfortunate that these
publications have succumbed to the financial offer from Dow in this
25th anniversary of the 1984 Bhopal disaster.
Regardless of where you are from, please call, write, sms the
organisers. Tell them you're a music lover and that you're distressed
that a corporate criminal that is sheltering Union Carbide is
sponsoring this wonderful event. Tell them not to let Dow Chemical
gain legitimacy by associating with this event, and to not let Dow
Chemical tarnish this event. Those of you who can do so, please write,
email, call the musicians and urge them to not attend the event unless
Dow's sponsorship is rejected. This is a small something we can all do
to let Dow Chemical know that we Remember Bhopal, and that we'll not
let Dow escape its liabilities by doling out money.
Tel: +91 44 28575809.

You may recall that Dow Chemical, the owner of Union Carbide, is on a
desperate campaign to gain legitimacy by associating with reputed
Indian institutions. In 2007-2008, students and faculty of IITs around
the country rejected Dow's overtures and attempts at sponsoring events
due to Dow's intransigence in resolving the long-festering human
rights and environmental issues in Bhopal. IIT students opted against
allowing Dow Chemical to recruit students on campus. IIT Delhi's
mechanical department returned sponsorship money given by Dow after
students, alumni and faculty caused a major uproar against taking
money from a company known to have a callous disregard for Indian law
and lives.
On December 2-3, 1984, a massive gas leak from Union Carbide's
ill-designed pesticide factory killed more than 8000 Bhopalis within
days. At least 150,000 of the more than 500,000 people exposed to the
gases are still suffering from chronic illnesses. The company has left
behind several thousand tonnes of toxic wastes in and around the
now-closed factory site. These wastes are leaching their toxins into
the groundwater, and more than 25000 indigent people are consuming
this poisoned water. In 1992, Union Carbide was proclaimed an
absconder by the Chief Judicial Magistrate of Bhopal for failing to
honour summons issued to appear in court to face charges of culpable
homicide, among other offences. The company has shown its disregard
for Indian law. In 2001, Dow Chemical took over Union Carbide. But it
says that it only acquired Carbide's assets and not its liabilities.
Dow claims to be a law-abiding and ethical company. But its behaviour
in India and abroad says otherwise.
1. It has refused to produce its subsidiary Union Carbide in the
Bhopal court to face trial.
2. Despite the fact that it is Union Carbide's wastes that lie in
Bhopal, Dow Chemical has said it will do nothing to clean it up, or to
provide people with clean water. It has said the taxpayers must assume
the responsibility of clean up, and is strongarming the Indian
Government to drop proceedings against it or face a slowdown of
investments from America.
3. Union Carbide is a fugitive from Indian courts, and is barred from
selling its products and services in India. Dow Chemical attempted to
profit from illegally selling Union Carbide's technology to Indian Oil
Company by lying to the company that the technology was Dow's own. In
2005, Indian Oil cancelled the deal with Dow Chemical after being
alerted of this by Bhopal campaigners.
4. In 2007, Dow Chemical was fined $325,000 by the US financial
regulator Securities Exchange Commission after it was caught for
bribing Indian agriculture ministry officials to the tune of $200,000
(Rs. 80 lakhs). The bribe was paid to expedite the registration of a
toxic pesticide called Dursban that was banned for domestic use in the
US in 2000, after evidence surfaced linking exposure to this chemical
with brain damage among children.

Password cracking, tsk tsk tsk....
I need to write a add on for john the ripper, and i looked a little at the DES_fmt.c and DES_std.c/h but it looks rather complex, and there are no comments.
anyone know of a well commented or just instructions for how to do this?
Password cracking, tsk tsk tsk....
thanks for... not helping.
and it's legitimate
What exactly is the add on for? Unfortunatly, I can not find anyone who has a commented or paper explaining the code. I do, however know of many DES primers online ...
and there are lots of DES code examples in Java when serching DES encryption in google.com
I hope this helps.
see interbase uses funny passwords. it's like:
foo = crypt("plainText", "9z" //salt is constant
bar = crypt(&foo[2], "9z"
&bar[2] is then the stored password.
/so/ i need to modify the DES code to crypt twice and do it that special way. but it's tricky.

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate sports reporter
After competing against the best of Track and Field's 3A athletes at the State Meet held at BYU over the weekend, the Carbon High Dinos walked away with plenty of honors and promise for next season.
Head coach Jimmy Jewkes said the team did well overall and left the meet with personal best times in many events.
Garrett Marsing broke the school record in the 800 M after posting a time of 1:57.05 good for third place. The old school record was made in 1980 at 1:57.95.
Kayleigh Potts took fifth in the girls high jump, completing a goal of making it to the podium during her last meet as a Dino.
The girls medley team ran a season best 4:34.15, Jewkes said. Wyatt Hansen, in his first year of competing in track, cleared a jump of 5'9".
Sophomore Dallin Quinton competed in three events including the 100 M, 200 M and the boys medley. Jewkes said the experience Quinton gained as a young athlete should help him over the next two years.
"We had a young team and a lot of the athletes had improved a lot over the season," said Jewkes. "We got our feet underneath us this season which should help us improve a lot going into next season."

Before I transferred from Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., I had an incentive ride in an F-16. At 15,000 feet, the view of Rogers Dry Lake Bed was surreal.
The moment made me reflect on history, and I considered the many changes since the birth of the Air Force in 1947: the advent of personal computers, the Internet, and advancement in research and development. Now we have micro-, bio-, nanotechnology and more technological changes occurring every day. It seems everything in our service has changed.
But I also realize the leadership principles used since the birth of the Air Force are as relevant today as they were then. Indeed, they are timeless.
When I describe integrity, I'm speaking about the integrity of the process.
Early in your career, you are trained to bring solutions to your supervisor, not problems. But as you ascend the ranks you become responsible for departments where you are not a technical expert. Contrary to your early development, bringing solutions to your subordinates can be problematic. You need to understand that roles have reversed. As a leader, your role is to assemble the right people to bear down on the problem and bring you solutions.
In 2010, retired Gen. Charles Horner, commander of U.S. Central Command Air Forces during Operation Desert Storm, gave a presentation called, "Desert Storm 20 Years Later." General Horner discussed how he brought the coalition together. He said he didn't care if the country supported with three aircraft or 300 aircraft – each had a seat at the table and a voice to be heard. As he said, "The truth lies not in rank but in the merit of the argument."
Integrity of the process describes how well you assemble the team that reflects the nature of the problem. You are no longer the expert. Your job is to assemble the technical experts, functional experts and stakeholders. This inspires ownership, creativity and innovation.
Assembling a comprehensive team ensures that all interests are heard. This is critical when difficult decisions must be made. Sometimes everyone will be satisfied with the outcome. Sometimes no one will be satisfied with the outcome. People will look not only at the decision but at how the decision was made. They will see who was included in the decision and who was not. The omission of key players becomes a reflection of the leader. But, when the process has integrity, those players know their interests were heard and the outcome, therefore, must be the best possible decision.
Like General Horner, give your team a seat at the table and listen to their concerns. Build a strong coalition and they will find solutions.
Integrity is timeless.
Throughout my career, people told me to build my network when attending professional military education, conferences and conventions. I didn't realize the impact until much later. At this point in my career, I realize that networks (relationships) are not "something" to work on. They are everything.
You cannot simply go to a meeting and expect to have relationships. Those are acquaintances. You have to make a deliberate effort to establish trusted relationships with your mission partners.
Strong relationships allow you to overcome obstacles and cut through red tape. What's more, they build camaraderie, boost esprit de corps and form the culture of the organization. But these relationships must be genuine or you may find yourself on an island.
As Theodore Roosevelt once said, "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care."
Consider how many people you see at work every day but know nothing about. If you work 40, 50, 60 hours a week with them but don't know their name, their family, or what is going on in their lives, you may very well be on an island. They might respect your rank, or position, but if they don't know you, they don't trust you.
Fifth Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force Robert Gaylor talks about the importance of balancing "High Technology" and "High Touch." Being high-tech allows us to effectively communicate across a wide network. But we also have to be high-touch.
Building trusted relationships takes good face-to-face communication. What delicate negotiations happen via email? Look your people in the eye and leverage your credibility.
Have you heard of a unit with high spirit? The Army would call it "Hua."
You can't get Hua going to meetings. It's not built by e-mail or texting from cubicle to cubicle either.
A unit with spirit has synergy, momentum and resilience. It is becomes greater than the sum of its parts. As Chief Gaylor says, face-to-face communication is the tie that binds us. It is the glue that holds groups of people together.
Building relationships is timeless.
In 1992, I deployed to Cairo West, Egypt. After deplaning, I was sent to lodging to begin the morning shift.
From my window I could see the top of the pyramids. Since my shift didn't start until the next morning and we were without restrictions, a few of us went sightseeing that afternoon.
The next day the mission started. With 12-hour shifts and a one-hour bus ride, the days were long. We had to maximize seeing the country when we could.
During the deployment I barely spoke to one airman from home station, as he worked the other shift, barely leaving time for a high-five. We caught up in the passenger terminal on the way home and I asked what he thought of Egypt. I was shocked to hear he "couldn't stand it!"
I asked if he visited the Cairo Museum to see the ancient artifacts painted in gold that have been around for 5,000 years. There are countless statues of King Tutankhamen, Ramses, Cleopatra and Anubis. I went three times.
He said he didn't make it there.
Then I asked if he visited the Cairo Tower. The tower is crowned by a circular observation deck and a rotating restaurant. I had dinner listening to a big brass band. From the observation deck we could see views of Cairo, the Nile, Giza and the pyramids.
No, he didn't make it there either.
Then I asked about the Khan el-Khalili, the largest bazaar in Africa that dates back to the Middle Ages. Every day thousands of people flock there. It's just this madhouse of people, and you have to go!
You guessed it, he didn't make it there either.
Finally I thought about that view from my room. I didn't want to ask. And you already know the answer. He didn't make it to the pyramids.
But that airman gave me a laundry list of everything that was wrong with Egypt. His problem: he failed to see anything that was right.
I take that moment and place it before you.
Leaders, you set the tone for your organization and everyone within your span of influence. We have tough times coming. Tough choices have to be made.
You have incredible perspective built on breadth, depth and expertise. You have education, training and experience. You have seen change, managed change and led change. And every time we changed we became leaner, faster, more agile and more professional.
We need your perspective to take our airmen through these tough times. They will follow you. But you have to be positive. Because if you talk about what was, or get hung up on what we don't have, they will follow you there, too.
A positive perspective is timeless.
These timeless leadership lessons are proven, relevant and the promise for tomorrow.
You need to bring everybody to the table to find the best solutions. You need to establish trusted relationships with mission partners. And you need to share your perspective as our great Air Force continues to transform.
This is your opportunity. I wish you the fondest of luck and the best in the future.

Lesson Six: Introduction to the Aspects
Now we have studied the planets, signs and houses, or the what, the how and the where, we are now going to look at the aspects. The reason I have left the aspects until now is that people often assume that they are difficult and complex, whereas in fact they simply follow on logically from what we already know.
Aspects are about relationships. They are dynamic. They bring various chart factors - planets, Nodes, signs, angles and houses - into an active relationship with each other. But aspects are more than that - they are also beautiful, because they remind us that the birth chart is yet another expression of the sacred geometry that has always been a central feature in the mystery traditions. There is something inherently magical and fascinating and deeply satisfying about the shapes and patterns formed by mathematical division and proportion, and they can be found everywhere in nature, art, architecture, music and, of course, in the human psyche.
We are already familiar with the symbolism of the circle and the square, the fundamental components of a horoscope. The circle is considered to be the most perfect shape of all, and is the symbol for pure spirit, eternal and unchanging. The square is the symbol for the earth, for all physical manifestation, and for our orientation on earth via the four directions, four seasons and four elements. The symbol for the earth and the structure of the horoscope show us that the earth is at the centre, surrounded by the circle of spirit, within which all of life is contained. One of the questions which has fascinated philosophers, theologians and mathematicians throughout history is how to 'square the circle'. In other words, how do we find a relationship between spirit and matter, between the gods and ordinary mortals, between the eternal and the temporal? An image which includes both symbols is proof of our dual nature. And in fact this is, of course, exactly what a horoscope is - in essence it is a wonderfully simple symbolic map that does in fact square the circle.
Leonardo da Vinci, 'Vitruvian Man' (1490)
Leonardo da Vinci's 'Vitruvian Man' is one of the most famous images of all times, and is still reproduced everywhere in the world today. The drawing symbolises the essential symmetry of the human body and, by extension, of the universe as a whole. Drawn by Leonardo around 1490, this beautiful figure first appeared in the second of three books entitled Divina proportione, or 'Divine Proportion', published by Leonardo's close friend, the mathematician Pacioli. It is a wonderful example of the integration of art and science during the Renaissance.
Audience: Do you know why this drawing is called the Vitruvian Man?
Clare: Vitruvius was an ancient Roman architect who wrote a series of ten books on architecture that, fortunately, survived into the Renaissance. In the third volume, he writes that the proportions of temples should be based on the proportions of the human body, because the human body is the model of perfection. He justifies this by stating that the human body with arms and legs extended fits into the perfect geometric forms, the circle and the square. This takes us back again to the Pythagorean number symbolism that is so fundamental to astrology, since it describes the inherently identical structure of all systems. Last term we looked at the tetractys, the symmetrical and well balanced model of the universe, which is reflected in the structure of the zodiac and which describes the generation of symbolic numbers out of the original unity.
Audience: Can you say more about this, Clare, since I am new to the class this term?
Clare: Simply expressed, the Pythagoreans believed that the nature of all things could be understood according to the powers of the one, the two, the three and the four as an unfolding sequence of creation. These numbers are not just quantities; they are also archetypes in their own right, so that 'oneness', 'twoness', 'threeness' and 'fourness' each have their own qualitative meaning. The astrological chart is an exact representation of the tetractys, being itself a one (the whole chart), a two (with each of the twelve signs of the zodiac being polar - active or passive), a three (the cardinal, fixed and mutable signs), and a four (the elements of fire, earth, air, water). The number twelve is a remarkably complete number in which the polarity is repeated six times, the three modes are repeated four times, and the four elements are repeated three times.
Number as an Archetype of Cosmic Order
We are going to look at the aspects in exactly the same way as we looked at the structure of the horoscope last term - as an expression of the sequential division of the chart by One (conjunction), Two (opposition), Three (trine) and Four (square), in which One equals unity, Two equals division and separation, Three equals reconciliation and mediation, and Four equals manifestation. Every birth chart has its own particular shape, its own geometrical structure, its own unique physical and psychic patterning. And the most significant point about aspects and aspect patterns is that they bring the birth chart to life as a series of stories that help us transform our two-dimensional horoscope into a living, breathing reality. Have a look at this table, which lists the aspects that are most commonly used in modern astrology. You will see that these aspects are formed by dividing the 360° circle by two, three, four, and by the product of these first three numbers: six (which is 2x3), eight (which is 4x2) and twelve (3x4).
The Astrological Aspects
|Division of the circle
|Aspect formed
|8 (3/8)
|12 (5/12)
All numbers have symbolic meanings, and it is perfectly possible, of course, to go on dividing the circle by five, seven, nine, eleven, and so on into infinitely greater divisions.
You will see from the table above that each of the aspects has an 'orb', which means that each aspect holds for a certain number of degrees either side of exactitude. The closer the orb, the stronger the aspect. For example, an opposition between two planets 172° apart (8° orb) will not be as powerful or as intensely felt as an opposition between two planets 181° apart (1° orb). You will see that the orbs become smaller as the circle is increasingly divided. So we are much more likely to have major aspects in our chart (those with an orb of 8° or 4°) than we are to have minor aspects in our chart (those with a 2° orb), but when they do occur, they will be of equal importance.
Audience: Does this apply to all the planets? Sometimes you come across people who use a larger orb when the Sun or the Moon is involved.
Clare: The whole question of orbs is, like everything
else in astrology, open for debate and subject to personal preference. Basically,
because we need to start somewhere, it is useful to begin with some nice
clear rules. Later on, we are of course free to experiment with the orbs
for ourselves and to develop our own ideas.
In practice, we know that although the planets are caught in a 'freeze frame' at the moment of birth, they are actually moving all the time in relation to each other. So if, for example, the Sun is 9° behind Pluto in a birth chart, then it is an applying aspect because the Sun will make an exact conjunction to Pluto nine days after birth. Using the technique of progressions, the Sun will make an exact conjunction to Pluto nine years after birth. Naturally, this could be of immense significance, and we will be looking at the moving chart - transits, progressions and directions - in much more depth next term. So I think it is perfectly acceptable to stretch the orbs a bit when an aspect is applying. If the Sun was 9° ahead of Pluto in a birth chart, then it is already separating from the exact conjunction, which will have taken place nine days before birth, and I would be much less inclined to build it in as a factor in interpretation.
Audience: But presumably what occurred before our birth is also significant?
Clare: Absolutely right. This gets very interesting when we start looking at the planetary cycles, but all this will have to wait till next term, I'm afraid. The point to remember about aspects is that, if two or more planets or points in the birth chart are connected in any of these mathematical relationships, they can no longer work by themselves. They are unable to function without each other - their destiny is shared. It is helpful to study the aspects as two evolving sequences unfolding, respectively, out of the first odd and the first even number. In the Pythagorean system, the number two has the nature of yin, the first female number, and the number three has the nature of yang, the first male number. This system was developed by Aristotle in his famous Table of Opposites.
| Female
As you will see from this table, it is fortunate for Aristotle that he lived well before the age of political correctness.
Audience: But surely the number one is the first odd number?
Clare: That is a good point, and of course you are factually correct. But when this is seen symbolically, unity - or the One - is primordial. It is the original creative force of the universe, which pre-exists any kind of differentiation. The One is the seat of the original wholeness out of which all numbers emerge. All the principles in the table of opposites are included in the One, merged with their primal source. This explains why the conjunction is not, strictly speaking, an aspect at all. We can learn some interesting things from this Table of Opposites, particularly in view of the fact that it was the ancient Greeks who first constructed the system of the astrological aspects. Using the analogies and associations contained in this table, it is not so difficult to understand why hard aspects - those which unfold from the original even, female number two - have traditionally been interpreted as difficult, tense, effortful, challenging (moving), devious (curved), unfortunate, malefic, and just plain bad, whereas soft aspects - which unfold from the original odd, male number three - have been traditionally interpreted as easy (resting), pleasurable, straight, light, fortunate, benefic, harmonious and good.
G. Riesch, 'Margarita philosophica', Freiburg (1503) [1]
If we extend this analogy to equate matter with the feminine principle and spirit with the masculine principle, we can also see how the aspects emerging from the number two are 'doing' aspects, engaged with actual manifestation and embodiment, providing the resistance, the reflection and the container for the inspiration, clarity and light of the male spirit. The aspects emerging from the number three are 'being' aspects. As I mentioned last term, it is important to remember that the masculine-feminine, spirit-matter, active-passive, yang-yin polarities in astrology and in mathematical symbolism do not refer to our biology but to our psyches. So we may have a prevalence of 'doing' or of 'being' aspects, regardless of our gender.
For the Pythagoreans, the first union of the masculine and feminine principles does not occur until we get to the number five, which is two plus three. The quintile, which is the aspect of 72° created when the horoscope is divided by five, describes creativity, joy and consciousness. The five-pointed star and the pentagram are sacred symbols in many cultures, and it is from this figure that the golden section is derived, a proportion which has been used in many sacred buildings, from ancient Greek temples to the Gothic cathedrals, and which creates a particularly pleasing sense of harmony and balance.
There is a point I want to make before we start looking at the actual aspects themselves. Although the symbolic numerical meaning of an aspect tells us something about the general nature of the relationship between two or more planets, at the end of the day the meaning of every aspect and every aspect pattern is unique to a particular individual and a particular chart. Whether we are interpreting aspects which belong to the two series or the three series of numbers, and whether or not we are thinking in terms of being or doing aspects, every single aspect and aspect pattern needs to be analysed entirely in its own terms, which will include the intrinsic meaning of the planets involved as well as the houses and signs in which they fall. What we are really looking for is the story, and if we pay good attention to all the factors involved, then the meaning of the aspect and the themes of the story will gradually come to life.
Audience: So does this mean that we shouldn't pay too much attention to the meaning of the aspect itself?
Clare: Well, I think it is important in the first instance, because it is the mathematical relationship that tells us that two or more planets are linked together in a certain way. But once we have identified that, then I think our focus should be to extract the unique story revealed by the planets involved, according to the signs and houses they are in. What I am really trying to say is that squares are not necessarily difficult and trines are not necessarily easy - it all depends on the context. Hopefully, as we go through some examples, this will become clearer.

When the Oklahoma City Thunder finally decided to turn it on, the Phoenix Suns didn't stand a chance.
By the time the Thunder did, the only question was what took so long?
A dominant second half powered the Thunder to a 127-96 win over the Suns on Friday night inside Chesapeake Energy Arena. OKC scored a season-high 72 second-half points and pulled away using a 36-20 third quarter. The Thunder led by as many as 32 points and saw all 13 active players score.
"Offensively, it goes without saying," said Thunder coach Scott Brooks. "We were clicking on all cylinders." Friday's point total was the most the Thunder has scored all year. The previous best was 124 against Houston on Dec. 29.
Kevin Durant led five players in double figure scoring with 21 points. Thabo Sefolosha scored 18, making four of six 3-pointers. Russell Westbrook and Kendrick Perkins added 17 points each — the most Perkins has scored in a Thunder uniform — and Kevin Martin had 16 points off the bench.
The Thunder shot 57.5 percent, dished 29 assists for the second straight game and had just eight turnovers. OKC also connected on 14 of 21 3-pointers, one shy of matching a season high for makes.
"That was one of the few times where you can really say offensively we won the game," Brooks said.
That high-octane offense became the theme of the Thunder's 3-0 home stand. OKC averaged 119.3 points, scoring more in each subsequent game, and outscored Dallas, Golden State and Phoenix by and average of 24.3 points.
The Thunder improved to 38-12 and moved to 3-0 against a Suns team that has now lost 19 of its past 25 games. The two teams will meet for the fourth and final time Sunday in Phoenix.
For the third straight game, Westbrook, Durant and Perkins weren't needed for a single second in the fourth quarter.
"I love not playing no fourth quarters," Westbrook said. "It's great. It's good for my legs, good for my body. I think we've done a great job of taking care of business. Scotty emphasized to us that we need to play a better fourth quarter, but we haven't played one yet."

Formed: 1992 in Portland.
For fans of: The Roots, James Brown, Funkadelic, Spearhead, Digable Planets, the Coup.
Sounds like: Maceo Parker hanging out with Guru and deciding to...ah, shit, it sounds like lots and lots of marijuana.
Latest release: Twisted and Lifted (2001), which highlighted DJ Chill's turntablism as much as it did the band's live horn section.
Why you care: Five Fingers of Funk was making live, full-band hip-hop at a time when that was a completely novel thing to do. Before the Roots ever released an album, this Portland collective—fronted by MC Pete Miser, a rapper as at home writing about politics as he was writing about partying and girls—roamed the Northwest playing an amalgamation of funk, hip-hop, reggae, rock and whatever other influences grabbed them at the time. Though the band's various incarnations were often overlooked or dismissed by the local press of the day (call it Floater syndrome, as the Fingers' hard-partying hippie/hip-hop fan base may have scared critics away), it maintained a following throughout the latter half of the '90s and into the early aughts before Miser moved to New York City, finding some success as a solo artist and producer. This show—the Fingers' first gig since 2002—will be the last night ever for the Berbati's venue. No word on whether Five Fingers will book future gigs.

Archive for the 'Ackermann steering' tag
Turn, turn, turn: The great fib about who really invented Ackermann steering
Erasmus Darwin and Georg Lankensperger
Just about every car built today relies upon the principles known as Ackermann steering – a system where, in a turn, the inner wheel is cocked at a more severe angle than the outer, in order to compensate for the greater distance the outer wheel must travel in a circle. One might consider Ackermann something of a genius for having sorted it all out. Only one problem there: He didn't.
So who did?
Let us start with Erasmus Darwin (b. 12 December 1731), a Renaissance man of sorts, challenging conventional wisdom in a variety of far-flung fields from invention to industrialism, from botany to physiology, and from natural philosophy to poetry. Translating botanical books from their original Latin, writing the groundbreaking Zoönomia, which helped sow the seeds for grandson Charles's Theory of Evolution, helping create the Lunar Society (widely credited with kick-starting England's Industrial Revolution and of claiming Benjamin Franklin and Joseph Priestly among its members and correspondents), experimenting with galvanism and helping create a furor that peaked with Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein – all fell within the wide-ranging parameters of his interest.
Considering everything else he had on his plate, you'd think that a smarter way to steer a carriage would be low on Darwin's priority list, but he created one. Rather than have the turning axle pivot in the middle at a fixed point in the chassis, the axle would remain in place while the wheels, attached to the suspension via spindle and by tie rod to each other, would turn in parallel. This would make a carriage easier to steer at speed. Darwin did not patent his design, fearing it would somehow damage his reputation!
The next step arrived with German carriage builder Georg Lankensperger; using Darwin's concepts, he made a (theoretically) workable system in the 1810s. Unlike Darwin, Lankensperger sought to patent the concept throughout Europe, and in England, he called upon Rudolph Ackermann to act as his agent.
Ackermann, once a German carriage designer of some note himself, had become one of England's top publishers of original prints and illustrated books; indeed, his book on carriage design is what led him to fall in love with publishing in the mid-1790s in the first place. Ackermann was a prolific publisher: He had published 63 books in his first seven years of publishing, and was well-known for publishing full-color aquatint engravings – a complicated process requiring several layers and demanding pinpoint accuracy for proper registration. His monthly magazine, The Repository of Arts, Literature, Commerce, Manufactures, Fashion and Politics, featured several hand-colored prints in each issue – more than 1,400 over the title's 20 years. They're so detailed that even today, art historians and period-film makers use these for research.
So, why did Lankensperger choose Ackermann? Perhaps it was their shared German heritage; perhaps they were chums from their carriage-building days. Perhaps Lankensperger felt he simply found someone in England who both spoke his native tongue and understood the concept. Whatever the case, Ackermann acted as agent, got the concept patented in England in 1817, and (rightly or wrongly) saw his name attached to it. It still could not be made to work practically, however, and the idea was quickly dropped and forgotten.
Illustration by Bromskloss
One of the principal issues with Ackermann steering was that the axle, steering arms and tie rod forced the steering wheels to move in parallel. At anything over walking speeds, this would cause both heavy steering characteristics and outer wheel scrub (known today as understeer). The issue had, in fact, been foreseen in the original patent, but the proffered solutions were only vaguely defined.
Enter Charles Jeantaud, notable French carriage builder who, in the 1870s, arrived at a workable solution. Jeantaud's innovation, working with the Bollèe family for their emerging steam car, was to cant the steering arms inboard, making for a shorter tie-rod. This way, the outer wheel traveled in a greater arc than the inner one. In theory, it meant that the difference in angle between the turned wheels had a relationship with the wheelbase of the vehicle in question. This was okay for carriages at carriage speeds, but even this has gradually had to be modified over time as speeds have increased and tires and roads have developed. Still, Jeantaud's advance was absorbed into our contemporary understanding of Ackermann steering without a word of credit to the Frenchman.
The system's first use on a motor vehicle is generally credited to Edward Butler, who built a two-cylinder, chain-driven, gasoline-powered reverse tricycle (two wheels in front). Butler's design was shown at London's Inventions Exhibition in 1885, patented in 1887, and built in 1890. Karl Benz's innovation, using a crank to turn the carriage rather than a shaft, allowed him to apply to patent his "vehicle steering device with steering circles to be tangentially positioned in relation to the wheels" on February 28, 1893. He was later granted patent DRP 73515, which quickly became the industry standard.

A Watertown businesswoman signed a long-term lease last fall to start a nail salon in a Route 3 strip plaza in front of Walmart. But after renovating the space, Tracy Nguyen discovered she cant open the shop because of an agreement she previously signed to open Pro Spa Nails at Salmon Run Mall.
That lease agreement signed by Ms. Nguyen, who now runs the mall store, prevents her from starting any business within a 10-mile radius of Salmon Run Mall. In other words, to open the shop at the strip mall, shed need to close the mall store.
Ms. Nguyen, meanwhile, is obligated make payments on a five-year lease on the strip mall spot that she signed in October with Alexandria Bay developer Philip J. Simao. Mr. Simao said Ms. Nguyen who probably has invested thousands to renovate the space should have been cognizant of the restriction with Salmon Run before signing the lease, which she cant back out from.
Work already completed by general contractor Shawn Schroy Construction includes the installation of a new ceiling and tile flooring, interior painting and the purchase of cabinets and chairs. On Friday, large signs that read SALON OPEN SOON were resting on the tiled floor.
They kept saying, Were going to open, were going to open, were going to open. She made substantial improvements, Mr. Simao said. And then there became this problem (in January) her attorney told me about, Mr. Simao said.
She now has possession of the space and is paying rent, but she cant open the doors because it would violate the lease. But Id love to have her in there if she can work out the differences.
Mr. Simao was contacted about the problem in the winter by attorney Patrick L. Evans, Watertown, who represented Ms. Nguyen when she signed the lease in the fall. Mr. Evans did not return a call Friday seeking comment. Ms. Nguyen, who was assisting clients at the mall Friday, said she didnt have time to answer questions.
Mr. Simao said many improvements were completed at the strip mall, which had sat vacant since it was built in 2007, to get ready for the would-be first tenant. The plazas exterior was painted, the parking lot was paved and exterior lighting was installed.
We did everything we were contractually obligated to do for her to move in, Mr. Simao said. I wanted her to be open months ago. But I would have never entered into an agreement with her had it been represented that it was going to be a problem.
Mr. Simao said several prospective tenants have expressed interest in vacant storefronts on the parcel owned by Toped Development LLC, of which he is the managing member.
I now have multiple people talking about putting franchises in there, he said. Its an ideally situated property with other development around it.
