Entrepreneurs — whether they're RIAs, brokers or running startup companies in the finance vertical — are particularly adept at getting an idea of the ground.
They're go-getters and the early success of these businesses is so much wrapped up into who the founder is.
But to get bigger (and I mean, really bigger), a company needs to move beyond trading time for money and really scale.
You can scale with resources: hiring more and more people to do more and more finite work.
That's one way.
Another way is to take the resources you already have and make them more efficient.
There are so many easy-to-use tools, techniques, and technologies out there that can help us produce more and more valuable work throughout our days, weeks, and over the span of our careers.
Here are a few of articles I've written on scaling a business — they're based on my experience growing my own business as well as many of the leading financial startups competing today.
Automate your business, increase efficiency, grows revenues
3 tools to help you appear to be good at everything
Extend your revenues beyond AUMs: becoming more profitable at what you do
Building a business means getting out of its way and feeding it with growth fuel through automating many low-value activities. That means there's more time and energy for you to think strategically, impacting your business at a much higher level.

I found a small issue in "Batch File.sublime-package" for the comments beginning by REM that are not recognized as comment.
I'm novice in the syntax definition files, so maybe my modification is not the best way to correct this issue.
I also added a file to define TM_COMMENT_START.
Hope this correction could be included in future release.

By the numbers
The Post-Crescent's review of criminal, civil and family court files since 2000 found 93 cases in its four-county readership area that were sealed.
Calumet: 0
Outagamie: 25
Waupaca: 58
Winnebago: 10
Crimes. Divorces. Restraining orders. Lawsuits.
Court records tell dramatic human stories, some tragic, some comic. They also show how well the criminal justice system works in all its many forms.
♦ Click here to sign up for news, weather and sports text alerts.
But rather than being an open book as the law generally requires, many such records are as inaccessible as a locked diary, with some people successfully appealing to judges to keep their court records out of the public domain, The Post-Crescent has found.
A newspaper review of criminal, civil and family files going back to 2000 turned up 93 cases in Outagamie, Waupaca and Winnebago counties where court files were sealed and their listings on the state's online court system were scrubbed.
In Outagamie County, 25 files were sealed since 2000. Twelve of those files were civil cases ordered sealed by Court Commissioner Lisa VanderMaazen in 2003 and 2004. Of the remaining files were three family (divorce) files, three felony files, three misdemeanor files and four civil files.
VanderMaazen said many of the files sealed under her name were wrongly classified.
"Those cases were closed because they were juvenile respondents in restraining orders and should never have been filed as civil cases and should have been filed as juvenile cases," she said.
In Winnebago County, four civil files were sealed, three family files and three criminal files.
No sealed files were found for the eight-year review period in Calumet County.
Among the sealed files or listings:
Whether a file is accessible to the public is a decision left to the judge's discretion, with no consistent rules seeming to apply from one courtroom to the next or one county to the next.
In The P-C's review, reasons for sealing files varied from judge to judge.
"It is the inconsistency of it that rankles," said Bill Lueders, president of the Wisconsin Freedom of Information Council, a group of mostly news media organizations. "When you can go to other counties and find these cases are routinely available but a judge thought their case should be removed from public view, someone could say, 'You sealed it for him, so why not me?'"
The newspaper's review prompted a judge in one county to launch an investigation of his own. His finding: A Waupaca County court clerk who since has retired was sealing files without a court order.
"The vast majority of the child abuse restraining orders were sealed mistakenly," said Waupaca County Judge Raymond Huber, who subsequently ordered 52 of the 58 cases reopened.
Former state Supreme Court justice and current Marquette University law professor Janine Geske said the court's authority to seal a file must comport with the state's Public Records Law, which presumes all records are open. The standard is the disclosure would cause harm to the public interest a concept subject to varying interpretations.
"My guess is that most of them have been sealed at the request of the parties and no one has objected," said Geske, who said she never found an occasion in her judicial career to seal an entire file. "It is a fairness issue."
Stating his reasons for recently denying former Neenah police detective Dan Dringoli's request to remove records of his dismissed criminal case from the state's online database of criminal and civil court records, Winnebago County Judge Bruce Schmidt said, "Every case that is dismissed, for whatever reason, people would be coming and asking that his record be sealed."
Putting a lid on CCAP
One of the factors figuring into some judges' decisions to make certain cases inaccessible to the public is CCAP, a Web site that makes court records easily accessible and gets up to 4 million hits a day.
CCAP, or Consolidated Court Automation Programs, was supposed to make the state's criminal justice system more transparent, but some judges have purged or sealed files just to keep them from being included in the online database.
The reason Winnebago County Judge William Carver cited for sealing files was more common.
"I really don't approve of all this stuff getting on CCAP," Carver said. "It is too accessible to the public."
Carver approved a request from the attorney of an Oshkosh man to scrub his CCAP record after the man completed his probation and had a charge of violating a harassment restraining order dismissed.
In that request, the man's attorney noted that his client "has direct contact with school districts and with training teams and players in general, all phases of soccer athletics."
He said his client had lost several jobs as a result of the misdemeanor file appearing on CCAP, which is used by many employers as well as landlords and attorneys.
Carver said he restricted the information on CCAP and left the file open.
"This was a harassment restraining order and he entered a plea and was referred to our Volunteers In Probation and no conviction was ever entered," he said. "On the other hand, this is an open file and you can look at it."
The man's name remains on CCAP with a misdemeanor file number, but no other information is available.
"We don't need to have open records statewide on something like this," Carver said.
CCAP has been criticized for making it too easy to do background checks.
In October 2007, state Rep. Marlin Schneider, D-Wisconsin Rapids, proposed a bill that would restrict access to the database to selected individuals, such as judges, attorneys, law enforcement officers and news media.
The proposal never made it out of committee.
More recently, Gov. Jim Doyle included in his budget bill a proposal to remove eviction records of tenants who were evicted as a result of foreclosure actions against their landlords.
That bill is still before the Legislature.
Lueders argued that the evictions should be maintained on the site with a note explaining they were caused by foreclosures and are not the tenants' fault.
'A public policy issue'
The struggle between public and private interests is an old one.
Outagamie County Judge Mitch Metropulos ordered two files sealed. One was a sexual assault case file of a man accused of raping one of his employees at work. Metropulos later amended his court order to keep the file open but remove the CCAP listing.
The man was charged with first-degree sexual assault, but the charge was dismissed for lack of evidence.
"This was done at the request of both the state and the defense," Metropulos said. "In this case, there was an indication that the defendant was falsely accused and so the request was that since the case was dismissed, it should be excluded from CCAP as well."
Metropulos also purged the records of a civil suit filed against Appleton Medical Center by a man who was allegedly molested by an emergency room employee.
Metropulos' order did not state the reason for the seal.
"The request came from the plaintiff's attorney on the victim's behalf. He wanted to keep the victim's identity confidential," Metropulos said. "There was never any type of objection."
The criminal case proceeded, and the alleged victim was identified in the case and testified in court. The defendant was found not guilty.
In 2006, Outagamie County Judge Harold Froehlich sealed the file of a man charged with child neglect. The man completed a deferred prosecution agreement and the charge was dismissed.
In his order sealing the file, Froehlich stated, "The court is satisfied that maintaining the record would cause additional harm upon the public interest in maintaining this public record and such harm outweighs the benefit of continued disclosure in this case."
Outagamie County Judge John Des Jardins sealed the divorce file for Marcelene and Gerald Van Dyn Hoven. Until recently, Van Dyn Hoven was the owner of several Fox Valley auto dealerships.
Des Jardins is on medical leave, but he issued a statement through his office in response to an inquiry from The P-C.
"The reason the file was sealed was at their request to protect the marital estate financially and to prevent undue damage to their financial information, which is quite sensitive," the statement said. "The courtroom was open if anyone wanted to sit in, but the records themselves were closed."
"It is really a public policy issue," Carver said. "I often wish the Legislature and the press could sit down and clean this stuff up."
To seal or not to seal
By law, some court files are kept confidential, such as mental health commitments, juvenile files and adoption records. They are not "sealed," but access is restricted to parties involved in the case.
Also, some files are subject to expungement. People under age 21 who are convicted of misdemeanor offenses may have their files removed from the system altogether upon an order from the court.
It is also common for judges to seal certain documents in files dealing with sensitive financial or medical information.
Geske, the former state Supreme Court justice, said: "It is one thing to seal information in a file and another to seal a file, but from my reading of the case law, the appellate court would look very carefully at why you would have to seal an entire file that was once open."
Calumet County Judge Donald Poppy said he could only remember sealing one case in his 16 years on the bench. "I went along with it, but in retrospect and knowing what I know now, I wouldn't have granted the request."
Poppy said he strictly adheres to the standard of harm to the public interest.
"I had a civil case once over some contaminated food and the defendant wanted it sealed so that other potential plaintiffs would not know what they settled for," Poppy said.
"So I said, 'Well, if you want we can have a hearing on it but I will have to notify the press so they can represent the interests of the public.' They decided against it."

Fuel Poverty Overview
For many people across Scotland, winter is a time when they worry most about being able to pay their fuel bills to keep warm at home. But even with a change of season, the problem doesn't go away. Fuel poverty is an everyday reality for many low income and vulnerable households.
Who is Affected
Older people, those with disabilities or long term illnesses which keep them at home, low income families with young children, and others on a low income are all especially at risk of fuel poverty.
Scale of the Problem
Around a million households in Scotland – more than 1 in 3 – are estimated by EAS to be in fuel poverty now. This means they are unable to afford adequate warmth in the home. In turn, it is estimated that there are some 4.5 million fuel poor households in the UK.
The official figures for fuel poverty in Scotland are published as part of the Scottish House Condition Survey (Scottish Government) and the statistics from the latest survey report can be found here. The SHCS found that fuel poverty stood at 940,000 households (39.1%) in 2013. The level of extreme fuel poverty recorded in 2013 was 252,000 households (10.5%).
For more figures, please see Statistics and Trends.
The usual definition of fuel poverty is the need to spend more than 10% of income to pay for fuel bills. If over 20% is required, then this is termed as being in extreme fuel poverty.
Main Causes
The main causes are a combination of poor energy efficiency of the dwelling, low disposable household income and the high price of domestic fuel.
The previous Progress Update on the Fuel Poverty Statement (Scottish Government, 25 November 2010) states that for every 5% increase in energy prices then as many as 46,000 households in Scotland (2%) are pushed into fuel poverty, all else being equal.
Impact of Fuel Poverty
The consequences are misery, discomfort, ill health and debt. Living in a cold, damp environment can also exacerbate health problems such as asthma and heart conditions. Often people struggling to pay their bills ration their use of energy, perhaps just heating one room or making the choice between cooking a hot meal and turning on a heater. Using appliances such as washing machines and heating water for baths or showers can be a worry too.
Solutions and Responsibilities for Action
Fuel poverty is recognised by government at all levels and a number of measures are in place to address it. For example, the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 requires the Scottish Government to eradicate fuel poverty in Scotland, as far as is practicable, by 2016. Local authorities also contribute to meeting this statutory duty.
Of the three main policy areas affecting fuel poverty, two of them ie household income and energy regulation, are matters reserved to the UK Government, while energy efficiency is a matter devolved to the Scottish Government. The EU also has a role in issuing directives that affect, for example, energy performance and consumer regulation.
As a consequence, there is a range of legislation, policy and schemes in operation at European, UK, Scottish and local levels to address fuel poverty.

Undated handout picture released by the INAH of the Chactun (Red Stone or Big Stone) archaeological site located north of the Calakmul Biosphere reservation southeast of Campeche, Mexico. / Handout via AFP/Getty Images
(NEWSER) â?? Just a week after news broke of a "lost city" discovered in Cambodia, archaeologists have uncovered an ancient Mayan city among the dense foliage of the Mexican jungle. The team has dubbed it Chactun (meaning red or large rock), and says it's one of the largest to be found in the Yucatan's central lowlands.
The numbers behind that claim: The 54-acre site would have once housed as many as 40,000 people, and evidence of 15 pyramids-one 75 feet tall-has been identified there. But the ruins don't end with those structures, LiveSciencereports.
The remains of plazas, homes, altars, inscribed stone slabs, and ball courts were found; the ball courts in particular indicate it was a prominent city, though one that met its end around 1000 AD, the team leader tells Reuters.
The search team first stumbled upon Chactun by way of aerial photographs taken 15 years ago; hacking their way through 10 miles of jungle took three weeks. The archaeologists spent six weeks exploring its secrets, and hope the find will offer clues on relationships between Maya cities-the closest known was 16 miles away.

Read the latest evidence on CoFlexJune 19, 2014
A new study in the British Journal of Community Nursing looks at the range of CoFlex two-layer compression bandages; CoFlex UBZ with Zinc, CoFlex TLC with malodour control, and CoFlex TLC Lite with malodour control for patients less tolerant of compression.
Positive outcomes in terms of performance and patient quality of life were observed in this study and the stocking provided with all CoFlex two-layer kits was found to prevent the bandages sticking to bedclothes.
This study investigates the effect of a new short-stretch two-layer compression system in eight patients with common chronic lower-limb conditions in three locations in the UK. Chronic leg ulcers are the most common type of lower-limb ulceration with 70% caused by chronic venous hypertension. An appropriate level of compression is proven to heal chronic venous leg ulcers. The study was only a small sample of patients; however, the underlying conditions included chronic venous eczema, diabetes, sarcoma, cellulitis and mixed-aetiology ulcers. During the study, the UK experienced some of the hottest temperatures in the last 30 years. This had an impact on five patients, who noted an increase in malodour associated with their leg ulcers. CoFlex TLC (Aspen Medical Europe Ltd) foam comfort layer is impregnated with cyclodextrin—a naturally based oligosaccharide known to reduce malodour.

Regarding annexation, I cannot see any benefit to me or my fellow Frenchmen's Bend residents.
We have a nice, quiet, peaceful neighborhood - except for the occasional mailbox being demolished by the inattentive driver.
I know from a geopolitical standpoint, we probably look like a big, juicy plum that's ripe for the picking. But I see no reason that it would benefit us out here to join with either Monroe or Sterlington.

Twitch," a documentary film chronicling the emotional journey of an 18-year-old as she is tested for a degenerative genetic disease, will be screened on the campus of the University of Alabama at Birmingham at 1 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 10, at Volker Hall, 1670 University Blvd."
Kristen Powers, the producer and star of the film, will be at the screening of her movie, which follows her genetic testing for Huntington's disease, a neurological brain disorder that led to the death of her mother. Every child of a parent with HD has a 50 percent chance of inheriting the fatal gene, which means Powers and her younger brothers are at risk of also developing Huntington's disease.
Join Powers for a question and answer session following the screening. The event, hosted by the School of Health Professions Genetic Counseling Program in conjunction with the Department of Genetics in the School of Medicine, is free and open to the public.
This is the first documentary for Powers, a junior at Stanford University, and she hopes the story will spark conversations about genetic testing and the implications of making the choice to test, as well as remove the stigma surrounding neurological diseases. She raised more than $45,000 using crowd-funding platforms to fund this film.

Rambler's Strategic Partner Releases Its First NI43-101 ResourceÂEstimateÂonÂtheÂGreenÂBayÂPropertyÂGroup LONDON, ENGLAND and BAIE VERTE, NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR -- (Marketwired) -- 05/28/13 -- Rambler Metals and Mining plc (TSX VENTURE:RAB)(AIM:RMM) ('Rambler' or the 'Company') would like to announce that its Strategic Partner, Maritime Resource Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MAE) ('Maritime') has released its first NI43-101 compliant resource estimate encompassing the entire Green Bay Property group, located in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Maritime holds 100% of the Green Bay Property which hosts the former producing Hammerdown Gold Mine and the newly discovered Orion deposit. A copy of Maritime's press release has been attached in its entirety under Appendix 1. For more information on the Green Bay Property group please visit Maritime's website at www.maritimeresourcescorp.com. A technical report is being prepared and will be filed with SEDAR within 45 days. George Ogilvie, President and CEO, comment: "We are pleased to see our Strategic Partner, Maritime Resources, advancing this project forward with its first NI43-101 resource estimate. Rambler's investment in Maritime was partly based on the potential of the Hammerdown Gold Mine and it's synergies with our own Nugget Pond milling facility, where the ore from Hammerdown was formerly processed between 2000 and 2004. In many ways the Hammerdown Gold Mine resembles the Ming Mine before it was dewatered and brought back into production. The increase in resource ounces on the Orion deposit is also encouraging as it may add new flexibility to the potential of the property group. We look forward to continuing to build on our strategic partnership with Maritime." ABOUT RAMBLER METALS AND MINING Rambler is a mining and development Company that in 2012 brought its first Mine into commercial production. The group has a 100% ownership in the Ming Copper-Gold Mine, a fully operational copper and gold processing mill and year round bulk storage and shipping facility all located on the Baie Verte peninsula, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Our Company Vision is to be the leading mine operator and resource developer in Atlantic Canada through the expansion of the Ming Mine, discovering new deposits and through mergers and acquisitions. Rambler listed on the London AIM in 2005 and Toronto TSX-V in 2007. ABOUT MARITIME RESOURCES CORP. Maritime Resources holds a 100% interest in the Green Bay property group which hosts the past producing Hammerdown gold mine, the Orion gold deposit, separated by a 1.5 km distance, and the Lochinvar base / precious metals deposit. Hammerdown itself was successfully mined by Richmont Mines between 2000 and 2004 with gold prices averaging $325 US per ounce. During its operation a total of 291,400 tonnes of ore were mined and milled, at an average head grade of 15.83 g/t gold, recovering a total of 143,000 ounces during its life. All ore was processed at the Nugget Pond mill, now owned and operated by Rambler Metals and Mining, with an average gold recovery of 97.1%. Mining concluded in 2004 due to low gold prices with mineralization remaining, although uneconomic at that time. The Orion gold deposit consists of two main vein systems, both of which are open along strike, up and down plunge. Larry Pilgrim, P.Geo., is the Qualified Person responsible for the technical content of this release and has reviewed and approved it accordingly. Mr. Pilgrim is an independent consultant contracted by Rambler Metals and Mining plc. Tonnes referenced are dry metric tonnes unless otherwise indicated.

APPENDIX 1 11th Floor, 1111 Melville Street Vancouver BC, V6E 3V6 PH: 604-685-5254 FAX: 604-685-2814 May 28, 2013 News Release: 13-04 Maritime Releases First NI 43-101 Resource Estimate for Green Bay Gold Property, Newfoundland Maritime Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MAE) ("Maritime" or the "Company") - is pleased to announ ce that the Company has received the initial independent NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate for its 100% owned Green Bay Gold property near Springdale, Newfoundland. The mineral resource for the property is estimated to contain in excess of 400,000 ounces of gold in the Measured and Indicated category, using a 3 g/t cut-off grade, and in excess of 600,000 ounces in the Inferred category, also at a 3 g/t cut-off grade. The estimate was compiled by Tetra Tech and includes all newly discovered gold mineralization resulting from the 2011 and 2012 exploration programs in addition to any un-mined deposits on the Green Bay property that remain from previous operation. The property consists of the former Hammerdown Mine (developed between 2001 and 2004), including the Rumbullion and Muddy Shag zones in the north, and the Orion deposit situated 1.5 km to the south. The effective date of the Mineral Resource Estimate is May 23, 2013. Eric Norton, President and CEO, comments: "We are extremely pleased to have completed this maiden Mineral Resource Estimate. The resource model is robust and incorporates all historic as well as new drilling results. The uniquely appealing aspects of this project are the high grades of the veins, the accessibility of the deposit from surface, including access to the existing underground ramp system, and excellent local infrastructure including roads, power and fresh water to the site. It is particularly satisfying to see that the overall grade of the Hammerdown deposit is relatively insensitive to the selection of the cut-off grade. Our exploration activity completed in 2012 demonstrated that the deposit remains open along strike, and the Company is confident that there is potential for this estimate to increase with further work. The 3D modelling that has now been completed will help guide future drill programs by highlighting strategic drill targets that can hopefully add new ounces, or upgrade resource categories." The Mineral Resource Estimate incorporates 724 historic drill holes from which over 16,000 gold assay samples were collected. Recent work includes over 3,700 metres of diamond drilling in 11 holes at Orion in 2011 and 2,500 metres in 16 holes drilled at Hammerdown in 2012. The 2012 exploration program also trenched and exposed 120 metres of the Rumbullion vein system at surface where 445 channel samples were taken from 37 channels cut at strict three metre intervals. Work was curtailed due to the onset of winter weather, but the veins remained robust at the eastern extremity and are available for further follow-up work and sampling.

CIM definition standards were followed for the resource estimate. 2. The 2013 resource models used Ordinary Krig grade estimation within a three-dimensional block model with mineralized zones defined by wireframed solids. 3. A cut-off grade of 3.0 g/t Au over 1.2 metres was used for reporting resources with capping of gold grades at 125 g/t at Hammerdown and 50 g/t at Orion. 4. A Specific Gravity of 2.84 was applied. 5. Numbers may not add exactly due to rounding. 6. Mineral Resources, which are not mineral reserves, have not demonstrated economic viability. 7. The quantity and grade of reported inferred resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define these inferred resources as an indicated or measured mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading them to an indicated or measured mineral resource category. 8. A portion of the estimated resource, specifically the Hammerdown mineralization, may be located in close proximity to previously mined areas and, as such, may not be recoverable due to structural or safety concerns. The Resource Estimate was prepared by Todd McCracken, P. Geo. of Tetra Tech, Sudbury, ON. Mr. McCracken is a qualified person and independent of the Company, as defined by section 1.5 of NI 43-101.The mineral resource estimate is based on the combination of geological modeling, geostatistics and conventional block modeling using the Ordinary Krig method of grade interpolation. The mineral resources were estimated using a block model with parent blocks of 5m X 5m X 5 m split three times into sub -blocks. The geological model including mineralized intercepts were generated by Maritime personnel and then audited by Tetra Tech. The QAQC protocols and corresponding sample preparation and shipment procedures have been reviewed by Tetra Tech. A technical report is being prepared and will be filed on SEDAR in the next 45 days. ABOUT MARITIME: Maritime Resources holds 100% of the Green Bay property which hosts the past producing Hammerdown gold mine and the Orion gold deposit separated by a 1.5 km distance, and the Lochinvar base metals/precious metals deposit. The Hammerdown gold deposit was successfully mined by Richmont Mines between the years 2000 and 2004 while gold prices averaged $325/oz. During its operation a total of 291,400 tonnes of ore were mined and milled, at an average grade of 15.83 g/t Au, recovering a total of 143,000 ounces of gold. All of the ore was processed at the Nugget Pond mill, now owned and operated by Rambler Metals, with an average gold recovery of 97.1%. Mining concluded in 2004 due to low gold prices with mineralization remaining, although uneconomic at that time. The Orion gold deposit consists of two main vein systems, both of which are open along strike, up and down plunge.

A Lifelike Prosthetic Arm
Thanks to a new surgical procedure, arm amputees can intuitively control a bionic limb for the first time.
People who have lost an arm have not traditionally had much hope of ever regaining meaningful function. Prosthetic arms have been controlled in a rudimentary way, by transforming residual shoulder movements or muscle signals into the simplest movement commands. These artificial arms cannot do two things at once, much less three or four. Amputees often toss them in the closet out of sheer frustration, somewhat stung by the fact that leg amputees have far better products available to them.
But the situation is starting to change, thanks to a team led by Todd Kuiken, director of the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago's Center for Bionic Medicine. Kuiken has developed a novel surgical technique that, when paired with both motorized prosthetic arms already on the market and experimental bionic arms developed through a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) program, affords amputees a remarkable degree of dexterity. Claudia Mitchell, who lost her arm in a motorcycle wreck in 2004, remembers putting on a prosthesis after undergoing Kuiken's procedure and seeing it work for the first time: "You could not wipe that grin off of my face. I can now iron a shirt again like nobody's business." Mitchell has become a hit at parties. "People can't believe how this thing works," she says. "They want to see me do things with it."
The device is activated by commands from surviving arm nerves that have been transplanted and rewired to muscles elsewhere–typically, as in Mitchell's case, in the chest. The nerves send electrical signals to control the prosthetic arm, with results so natural that observers often don't realize the arm is bionic until they listen closely for the sound of whirring motors. Called targeted muscle reinnervation, the procedure is unique because it permits intuitive control over the robotic limb. After about six months of healing, patients can move the arm merely by thinking about what they want it to do, just as they once did with their real arms. Tell Mitchell "Bend your arm," and the muscles in her chest flinch instantaneously–a most peculiar sight. But she is not thinking about moving her chest muscles. Rather, she is thinking about bending her arm, and that thought moves the chest muscles to make the robotic arm do her bidding.
Kuiken recently published promising test results in the Journal of the American Medical Association, showing that five patients told to perform 10 different arm movements with a virtual prosthesis could do so almost as readily as non-amputees in a control group: their response time was less than a quarter of a second longer. (The virtual prosthesis allows scientists to more easily figure out the speed and level of control that can be gleaned from muscle signals. Researchers performed similar experiments with mechanical arms.) In an accompanying editorial, the pioneering biomedical engineer Gerald Loeb wrote, "The speed as well as the accuracy of the movements represent substantial improvements over previous systems. Even more important, however, is the ease with which patients learned to perform tasks requiring coordinated motion in more than one joint." He concluded, "With increasing functional capabilities, patients with upper-extremity amputations may derive exceptional benefit from prosthetic arms, just as legions of patients with lower-extremity amputations now lead remarkably normal and even athletic lives." (Leg prostheses have been further along in development because there is a bigger market for them: 90 percent of amputees have lost lower limbs. Also, legs don't require as much dexterity as arms.)

It's a well-documented truth that long commutes are bad for both the environment and emotional well-being of the commuter. So policy interventions aimed at reducing traffic and, by extension, commuting time have the potential to significantly improve welfare. A new paper by Gilles Duranton and Matthew Turner evaluates two frequently proposed solutions to the problem and finds both lacking. Duranton and Turner find that highway kilometers traveled actually increases proportionately to highways. Provision of public transportation has no effect on kilometers traveled. The authors conclude that, "an increased provision of roads or public transit is unlikely to relieve congestion and that the current provision of roads exceeds the optimum given the absence of congestion pricing."

The two simplest ways to reduce commuting are to promote telecommuting and to encourage companies with multiple locations (i.e. banks, fast-food chains, supermarkets, etc.) to employ people at the location closest to where they live.0 0
Get rid of zoning restrictions so people can live closer to where they work.0 0
Or we could assign a monetary value to all environmental costs and require those costs to be paid, now and full, rather than continuing the shortsighted policy of taking interest-free loans from our future.
If there is no dollar sign in the cost at the transaction level, human behavior struggles to understand the true cost.0 0
Duranton wants to reduce the duration of commutes? Sounds like an aptonym!0 0
A-ha! Therefore we have proved through highly scientific methods that there is NO solution and you all must just suck it up and suffer.
Perhaps mfw13 has it, that the current problems are based on certain cultural norms in business and in general economic life that need some alteration. This unfortunately, was not the thing examied.
I mean, who really thinks that building more roads will solve congestion?0 0
I would think the idea that more highway miles comes with more highways would be obvious.
If I'm going from Andover, MA to Salem MA, there's no direct highway and I take backroads, thus putting no more traffic than normal on the highway.
If the state were to build a highway that cuts East/West across the state, I would start taking the highway and alleviate traffic on the backroads.
The real question is, did highway miles go up in proportion with new highways while backroad miles went down in proportion.0 0
Certainly there is a quadratic relation, where a thriving metropolis attracts many worker bees some of whom prefer the suburbs or avoid the correspondingly high premium on desirable reidences, while locales with less dynamism have modest traffic and worker bees still preferring the suburbs, but finding them geographically more proximal.
Real estate cannot always radiate out 360 degrees, but the square-footage land space available for housing around a commcercial hub certainly increases geometrically in relation to the linear increase in the commute to the hub.
While I agree that roadways cannot keep up – as you build more roadways, the attractiveness of ever-more-distant bedroom communities increases, since commute time has dropped relative to bedroom communities somewhat closer-in.
If there is a quadratci relation, then a city can tax per growth/desirability, and directly use that tax to build transportation (mass transit, contraflow, HOV, maglev, star trek transporter, etc.) and stay ahead of the curve – ahead of some point where travel time greatly increases with a modest increase in workers, as they simultaneously converge from 360 degrees toward the hub.0 0
I'm sorry, but there's something fundamentally wrong with the idea of "congestion pricing".
Public streets are just that — public. They were built with public funds, and their maintenance is paid for through state & federal excise taxes on gasoline.
Besides, we have an existing "congestion pricing" system already in place.
They're called Toll Booths.0 0

Assume Nothing by Kevin McManus
First published in Industrial Engineer magazine August 2002
I first learned of the alternative translation of the word assume' during an Odd Couple conversation between Oscar and Felix many years ago. During the following years, and in the world of business in particular, I only became more familiar with the danger of making assumptions. Today, I believe that the costs of making incorrect assumptions are the greatest in the training arena, both in the classroom and on the job.
I first became aware of how incorrect my own assumptions were about how well my students understood my training back in 1992. I had just taken my seven supervisors through a two-day training course on statistical process control (SPC), and I had assumed that they had at least grasped the more salient concepts of this process control methodology. Little did I know that several of the people in the group understood little of what I had covered, and that they were too fearful of losing their jobs to admit it.
Our location had decided to become part of a local math and English literacy effort through a local community college at about the same time as we had decided to present the SPC training. The initial phase of the literacy project involved assessing the levels of math and English literacy for all of the employees at our site. In the process of doing so, we discovered that several of our supervisors were well below the desired tenth grade level for both subjects, and that two of the seven supervisors could barely read or understand basic math concepts at all.
In short, because of the assumptions I had made as a trainer about my students and their levels of knowledge coming into the course, I wasted both my time and theirs. Worse yet, I had created a new layer of fear between them and the company. Now they were being asked to use concepts they currently had no way of understanding, let alone figuring out. During the following weeks and years, I only began to wonder more about how many other trainers were making the same mistake on a repeated basis.
When I arrived at my current employer a little over a year ago, I was presented with both a challenge and a benefit that I had not been expecting an international workforce. The work ethic of this group of people was unparalleled to any I worked with the past. Unfortunately, the level of English and math literacy with this group was also low, but not because of a lack of intelligence. To put it simply, almost one half of my production crew was not familiar with English phrases, concepts, or jargon.
Because of my past experiences, I knew that we had to address this challenge before moving on to learning about other high performance workplace concepts such as process control, teamwork, and performance measurement. We partnered with a local group to begin providing English as a second language (ESL) courses. After just the first class, we were made aware of two incorrect assumptions that we were probably making. First of all, these people were not simply production workers in their own countries, they had been teachers themselves or they had gone to college for at least a couple of years. Secondly, several of them did not know the Roman alphabet, which in turn invalidated most of the job aids we had put in place to help them do their jobs correctly.
When I took the time to reflect back on both events as indicators of training system performance, I began to notice a striking similarity. In both cases, I had assumed that these people were for the most part like myself. I had assumed that they understood what I understood, and they had learned most of the same basic things in life that I had. Once again I had been shown that my assumptions were wrong. My trainees were more different than similar to me they learned differently, they perceived what I said differently, and they often came away from any interaction with me with largely different understandings of the messages I was trying to send.
The key learning this time for me however relates more to working with a largely traditional' American workforce. We tend to assume that people are like us to an even greater degree if those people look like us. In turn, we rarely give a second thought to whether or not our fellow Americans are really understanding us or not when we train them, share information in meetings with them, or speak to them one-on-one. I would suspect that a high percentage of our messages are either misinterpreted or largely misunderstood because of this lack of awareness.
As industrial engineers, we are responsible for improving both large and small work systems. We are often also responsible for training others to use a new process or tool. When we do this, I wonder how often we really take the time to consider the language or other interpretive barriers that may exist, the differences in mental models that we may have, or the differences in learning styles that most definitely exist. In most cases, it usually seems easier to simply proceed as we have in the past, teaching others in the manner that we prefer to be taught. In most cases, we usually waste a lot of time and money as well if we choose to be honest with ourselves.
If people are fearful of losing their jobs, or even missing out on a promotion because they do not understand', they will be reluctant to tell us, especially in the presence of others. We cannot depend on their open and honest feedback to help us make the necessary adjustments. Instead, we must open our eyes, ears, and minds to the potential for being misunderstood, and be willing to significantly modify our approaches to working with others in order to make sure that our messages are understood.
Getting out of this dilemma that I assume most of us are in begins with creating an environment of openness and trust. This is accomplished by asking questions more than giving commands, spending time with others to learn more about their perspectives, and using sound evaluative tools to determine if our messages are getting translated in the manner that we intended to be. We also must learn to personally challenge our own assumptions by questioning ourselves.
I personally rely on a quote from Socrates to help me do this. This simple quote is The only thing I know is that I don't know it all. If you can learn to handle the uncertainty that embracing this quote will present you with, you can also open your mind to a whole new set of learning possibilities. Of course, it never hurts to keep the Odd Couple translation of the word assume' in mind as well. Do you understand?

Parents of two East Robertson Elementary School children filed suit in U.S. District Court in Nashville Monday against Robertson County and the Robertson County Board of Education for failure to protect their children against sexual assault from other students.
The parents claim that their sons were the subjects of unwelcome sexual advances dating from 2011 to 2012. The first child told his mother that another child "touched his private area," hugged him from behind and thrust his pelvic region on his backside, back and leg, according to a court document.
The other child, who was a first ...

Apple TV found using A4 processor [u]
updated 09:35 am EDT, Thu September 2, 2010
First non-iOS device to use chipset?
(Updated with official info on Nano and iOS) A brief check of the Apple TV's technical specifications reveals that it is actually based on an A4 processor, like the iPad, iPhone 4 and the new iPod touch. The architecture is an ARM design customized by Apple, nominally with mobile products in mind. In the Apple TV it replaces a relatively low-grade Intel chipset.
An open question so far is whether or not the Apple TV uses iOS firmware. Until now, any device with an A4 processor has also used iOS; other products based on the platform should in fact be able to push photos and video to an Apple TV using AirPlay. The only touch control for the set-top comes from the Remote app, however, and the TV menu interface resembles that of earlier hardware. Moreover, no access to the App Store is available, although the same is true of the new iOS-equipped iPod nano.
Update: An Apple spokesperson later revealed that the iPod nano does not use iOS, but rather an interface meant to mimic the operating system.

Stuart's cavalry corps screened the army from Federal observation. The Union cavalry commander, Brig. Gen. Alfred Pleasonton attempted to break through Stuart's screen, and fought three sharp engagements along this road. They included the Battles of Aldie (17 June), Middleburg (19 June), and Upperville (21 June). Stuart fell back westward under Pleasonton's pressure but kept the Federal cavalry east of the gaps."

Previous chapter:
Jenny's fixing her clothes in the closet when suddenly the door bell rang; she looked through the peephole and saw Gabriel standing behind the door. She opened it and went inside her not so big living room, he followed her. Gabriel acted as if nothing happened, smiling the way used to, before he left.
"I'm sorry for what happened, I truly am. I hope you forgive me Jenny. Please? It won't happen again, I promise." Unless you ask me to.
Jenny sighed. She couldn't resist those tantalizing eyes and sweet smile. "Alright, but what are you doing here?"
"I guess Aunt Leticia hasn't told you yet? We're going out of town, two nights and three days. You better take your leave and call your boss now," with expectant eyes, how could she say no? But she remembered Jake, and made a quick decision.
"I can't. I'm sorry." She had to think of an effective alibi, she knows Gabriel quite well and she was so sure he won't buy it if she doesn't make a strong reason. "We're dealing with an important client in the office Gabriel. I can't take a leave, it's so important that I'm there." Gabriel looked at her showing he's not convinced.
"Fine. I'll pay for those days that you're gonna be with me... I mean... us! We need you there, Jenny. Your brother will be there together with his family. Your single, it's easier for you to come join us. Plus, I won't be long, I only have two more weeks and I'll get back and work my ass off to Japan, again." Hearing that, she eventually felt so sad but pretended not to be affected by it. "Hmmm, is your boyfriend stopping you from doing what you want, huh Jenny?" He choked as a sign of disgust.
My brows rose "He does not! And will not!" such a lie. Recently, Jake had been showing jealousy over Gabriel, he told her that he could sense Gabriel has feelings for me, which I did not believe so.
"Alright then, then there'd be no more discussions. Pack your bags and we'll leave tomorrow. We're going to a private beach resort. You like that right? You enjoy swimming and I thought-"
"I don't! I don't like any of it anymore. You see? I've changed okay?! A lot! So stop acting like as if you're my big brother, because you're not!" Jenny lost her patience. Gabriel's jaws are clenching and headed towards the door and before he hold the door knob, he stopped by facing the door.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow, 5 am. Be sure you're ready by then, Jen. If I have to carry you, I would. And please, stop acting like a child. You're all grown-up!" Jenny was left in the room, clueless how to escape this persuasive man. She just sighed and packed up some necessities that she would surely need.
