I have a stack of books taunting me. Most of them I bought with every intention of reading, some were gifts. I need to make a decision on whether or not any or all of them are read-worthy. My plan is to read the first 25 or 50 pages and decide whether or not I'm interested in reading the rest. I'll donate or give away the ones that don't capture my attention and start plowing through the remaining stack once I've evaluated them all.
K is for Kayak
I spotted my first kayak of the season today. It's a more telling sign of spring to me than crocuses. We've been avid kayakers for quite a few years. We rented one year and bought a couple at a tent sale the following year. We try to go most weekends, mostly local flat water. There are plenty of local tributaries to choose from.
We go mostly for the exercise, quiet and wildlife. We regularly see turtles, ducks and blue heron. On occasion there are mink and foxes.
Can't wait till its warm enough to get back out there.
G is for GOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLSSSS!
Gotta have 'em.
Unfortunately, I'm not terribly good at reaching them. My initial enthusiasm soon gives way to …meh…
Although I seem to be doing pretty well at this blog challenge, maybe in part because of my interest in reinvigorating this blog that I have allowed to go fallow.
Maybe because daily posting has made it part of a routine — a habit (seriously, I'm typing this on the kitchen counter while I make dinner).
I have recently stumbled across a couple of resources that talk about creating habits or systems that you put in place and work at daily, rather than these big ass goals that are waaaayyyy out there and obviously not something I need to worry about today. After all, I've got shows to binge watch and the internet isn't going to read itself.
The first resource I want to mention is Gretchen Rubin's book, Better than Before. She talks a lot here about forming positive habits.
The second is this blog by James Clear, Forget About Setting Goals. Focus on this Instead.
So, this is the direction I've been taking lately.
F is for Fashion
I'm not a particularly fashiony person, but I seem to have developed a bit of a style. In the winter, it normally involves leggings or skinny jeans, boots, cardigan and some sort of tank or tee.
Like this or this from Pinterest.
I like to think that I would be fully prepared in the event I need to do yoga at the drop of a hat.
The summer is tougher. Especially because I don't like open-toed shoes. I did discover maxi skirts last year which I like.
There are some interesting schools of thought lately, such as trimming down to a capsule wardrobe or employing the Project 333 system.
I've even seen some articles about wearing the same thing every day. Here and here too.
Something to think about.
E is for Everest
If you have followed my blog for any length of time, you know my obsession with all things Everest. And now the 2015 Everest season is upon us. Everest season? What's that, you ask? Well, because of the extreme altitude and weather conditions, there is a very tight window in which in can be summitted with any degree of success — usually mid-end of May.
Any earlier and it's too cold and windy, any later and the mountain is just too unstable. The chances of avalanche increases as do the odds that the Khumbu Icefall will shift. The Khumbu Icefall is the glacier where sixteen people died last year in the deadliest season ever recorded.
Several guide teams have elected not to mount an expedition this year, among them Peak Freaks, who have been guiding Everest Expeditions for more than two decades.But the Nepal Ministry of Tourism reports that 287 individuals have received Everest climbing permits for 2015 so not all guide companies are displaying this level of caution. And a new route has been established through the Icefall for the 2015 season.
Facts about Mount Everest:
- Elevation: 29,035 (8850m)-found to be 6′ higher in 1999
- Name in Nepal: Sagarmatha (means: goddess of the sky)
- In Tibet: Chomolungma: (means: mother goddess of the universe)
- First successful ascent: May 29, 1953 by Sir Edmund Hillary, NZ and Tenzing Norgay, NP, via the South Col Route
- First Solo Ascent: Aug. 20, 1980, Reinhold Messner, IT, via the NE Ridge to North Face
- First Ascent by an American: May 1, 1963, James Whittaker, via the South-Col
- First Ascent without oxygen: May 8, 1978- Reinhold Messner, IT, and Peter Habeler, AUT, via the South-East Ridge
- Fastest Ascent from South: Babu Chhiri Sherpa 34, NP-16 hours and 56 minutes (5-21-2000)
- Youngest person: Temba Tsheri (NP) 15 on May, 22, 2001
- Oldest Person: Sherman Bull May, 25, 2001 -64 yrs
- First Legally Blind Person: Erik Weihenmeyer May, 25, 2001
- Best and Worst Years on Everest: 1993, 129 summitted and eight died (a ratio of 16:1); in 1996, 98 summitted and 15 died (a ratio of 6½:1)
- Highest cause of death: Avalanches-about a (2:1) ratio over falls
- Most dangerous area on mountain: Khumbu Ice Fall-19 deaths
- First ski descent: Davo Karnicar (Slovenia) 10-7-2000
- Corpses remaining on Everest: about 120
- Fastest descent: In 1988, Jean-Marc Boivin of France descended from the top in just 11 minutes, paragliding.
- Largest number to reach the top in one day: 40, on May 10, 1993
If your Everest curiosity has been "peaked" (heh- yes I know it's piqued) here's some more information.
Here is a National Geographic quiz to test your Everest knowledge.
I may use some other letters to update on this year's season. Because it's my blog and I can do that
D is for Downtime
Saturday with no major obligations means a little time relax. Today that meant…
…a little reading…
…watching a little rugby (sporting many layers and drinking a venti latte)
…some quality Spenser time…
…dinner = Trader Joe's Chile Lime Chicken Burger, Wegman's 7 grain salad and a Southern Tier IPA.
All together not a bad day. Tucked a little decluttering and a few errands into the day.I didn't make it to the gym, but my Fitbit seems pretty pleased with me.
Hope everyone has a great Easter. I'm already planning Monday's post :)
C is for Creativity
Creativity intimidates people. They treat it like some mystical, esoteric elixir bestowed upon us grudgingly by some penurious muse — the purview of artists and writers alone.
That couldn't be farther from the truth.
Creativity is everywhere and within reach of everyone.
- A dad who finds a way to coax a reluctant child to sleep.
- A woman on a tight budget who creates tasty meals from her pantry.
- An entrepreneur who identifies an under served market.
- An six-year-old who amuses himself with a couple of sticks
- And of course, writers like you and I.
Here are a couple of interesting notes about creation and criticism from Martha Beck and fear and creativity from Karen Thompson Walker and a Psychology Today article on Albert Einstein.
Pay attention over the next couple of days. Try to identify at least three creative things you do. Any time you use non-linear thinking to solve a problem or reach a goal. Share what you learn in comments if you like.

(hidden for your protection)
The fact that one lovable rogue in London misplaced UBS's bonus pool for the year has people talking again about the Volcker rule, which would ban proprietary trading at banks. I still don't really understand that, and I'm not alone. Here is a thing about the Volcker rule and "Delta desks" (what?):
Yet the definition of what constitutes proprietary trading can be fuzzy. Many on Wall Street consider proprietary trading, or prop trading, to involve only trades made by dedicated traders who are using the bank's capital and do not have access to client information. The trading done on Delta desks, they contend, is done on behalf of clients.
Those boundaries, however, can blur. A bank may buy a derivative or security from a client in order to make a market, then decide it is worth hanging onto, turning it into a proprietary bet.
The Volcker rule of the Dodd-Frank act is named after Paul A. Volcker, the former Federal Reserve chairman who proposed it. It is intended to prevent American banks from taking on too much risk. The fine print, however, has yet to be worked out, and regulators are debating just how comprehensive to make the definition of proprietary.
This is sort of correct but nicely embodies the conceptual confusion that I suspect lies behind the Volcker rule. Let's spend four hours talking about it, shall we?
Let's say you are at a bank, and you are on a flow desk or, whatever, not a "prop" desk. Let's say it's the delta one desk. And a person comes to you and is like "hi, I would like to be short one million shares of UBS, because that seems like a wise thing to do, but I don't want to mess around with borrowing those shares because all these politicians keep talking about boiling short sellers alive, so just write me a swap where in one year if the stock is below $12, you pay me the difference, and if it's above $12, I pay you the difference," and you're like, yeah, that sounds fair, and so you write the swap.
So you've now got a trade where you're long one million shares of UBS. And you obtained that trade in a normal, market-making, non-"prop" way. Now what do you do?
A thing that you probably do is go borrow one million shares of UBS and sell them short. This is a sensible thing to do. Why is it sensible? Well, for one thing, your desk is called "delta one," and you've written a derivative, and you want to delta hedge that derivative, and so you pull out a Black-Scholes calculator and plug in a lot of variables and get stuck but then you look at your business card and you're like, oh, shit, the answer is "one," and so since you
soldbought 1mm shares of exposure at 1 delta you need to go buysell 1mm shares to be delta hedged. So the math checks out.
But the other reason that it's a sensible thing to do is that you're a "flow" trader, or something – you're not a "prop" trader, anyway – so you aren't really necessarily in the business of being long 1mm shares of UBS for a year. If you don't hedge, and at the end of the year UBS is at $24, then you made $12mm and people are like "sweet but also we're gonna keep an eye on you because that was kind of not in your mandate." And if at the end of the year UBS is at $0, then you lost $12mm and you're sitting in a conference room at 1am with people saying "you might want to clean up anything embarrassing on Facebook, Kweku, because the police will be here shortly." So you hedge.
Okay. So now you've done this thing where you're short 1mm shares of UBS stock and long 1mm shares on swap with a person. Great. Now you have no risk, so you go home and come back in a year and settle up. Right?
Maybe not though. Here are some other things you might think about:
1. You have borrowed that stock and sold it short, and you have some cash, and that cash is getting paid some interest, and that interest is a floating rate that is based on fed funds or whatever. And you think to yourself "that creates interest rate exposure – if fed funds goes up, then I make more money, but if it goes down [just pretend, okay?], then I make less money." So maybe you do something – buy a bond, say, or enter a rates swap – to lock in the rate that you're getting paid.
(Or you might say "screw that, holding cash that is getting paid a floating market rate doesn't create any rates exposure," to which I say, you have yet to meet a rates salesman. You have some rates exposure no matter what you do in life, it's just a question of whether you want to be fixed or floating or somewhere in between.)
2. You have credit risk against the person on the other side of the trade. In a year, if the stock is at $0, you owe him money, and you're good for it. If it's at $24, he owes you money. Is he good for it? You probably collateralized your swap, but you don't take infinite collateral from him – so if the stock jumps up there's some chance of uncollateralized exposure. You could hedge this if you want. You could buy CDS on the person. Then you have credit risk to the additional person who sold you CDS. Turtles all the way down.
3. You could have currency risks. Imagine that you write the swap at USD12, you sell UBS shares in Switzerland at like CHF10 (I'm gonna get this concept I promise), you collect CHF10mm, and you keep that in the (Swiss) bank. At the end of the year, let's say that UBS is still at CHF10, so you can buy back your short for the CHF10mm you have in the bank – but now the franc is only worth $1, so the US trading price of the stock, which you used to strike the swap, is now just USD10. So you owe the person $2mm on your swap. Even though your stock was hedged. Some speculation about the Kweku Katastrophe is that he sold a silver ETF that had Swiss franc exposure and then forgot to hedge that exposure.
4. You could have event or contract or just goofball risks. UBS could announce a big dividend that you're liable for on your short shares, but the swap might not pass through dividends. Stock borrow could get more expensive. UBS could move to Mbabane change its name to "Union Bank of Swaziland" and your shares could remain the same but your swap has a termination event if the company leaves Europe. You can hedge these risks by writing the contract well, or you could enter into separate arrangements to hedge the ones you worry about.
So you could spend a lot of your time worrying about all your other risks. And you could hedge all the ones you can think of, which is not all of them, as perfectly as possible, which is not perfectly. Nor is it free.
Here's another thing though: you could spend less of your time worrying about your risks. You could even create some.
Sometimes this is subtle: you write a swap on a dividend paying stock, and it's written not to pass through dividends. You get paid up front for whatever people expect the dividend to be. If the company declares a massive special dividend, you lose. If it cancels its dividend, you win. (This is kind of how exchange-traded options work.) Or, as in #3 above, you write a swap on a USD-traded stock but intentionally hedge it in another currency.
Sometimes it's less subtle. For one thing, you might short only 900,000 shares of UBS – because you think UBS will go up and you want to retain a little long exposure from your swap. Or you plan to short the whole 1mm shares to hedge, but you wait a week thinking it'll be a good week for UBS because, after all, they're kind of due for a good week.
And sometimes it's both bigger and more subtle. Delta one, at least in this simplistic single-stock-delta-one example, leaves less room to take big directional exposures than other areas. If you're making markets in credit, you will naturally have the opportunity to have a lot of rates exposure, which you can hedge or not hedge or something in between. If you're making markets in options, you have a lot of ability to decide whether and how much to hedge exposures both to the underlying security and to second-order things like volatility.
This is not quite "a bank may buy a derivative or security from a client in order to make a market, then decide it is worth hanging onto" – though that's also true. (Or, I'd put it differently: a bank may like a particular exposure, so it will raise its market in order to get longer that exposure. You're less likely to think "wow, people keep selling me UBS stock, I'd better dig into it and find something to love!" – and if you do you may be in the wrong line of work.)
Rather, this is:
– every position you can take in a financial instrument entails a variety of widely different risks,
– if you are a market maker, people will offer to buy and sell from you packages containing or implying a whole bunch of those risks,
– so you price them, buy and sell, hedge the risks you don't like, and keep the ones you do.
This is different from "prop" trading, which is "I want to go out and find some risks to take." But it can lead you to similar places, if you want it to.
If an all-seeing Sauron at a bank with a prop desk said "bring me 1mm shares of UBS," his prop desk would go out and buy 1mm shares of UBS and hand them to him and that would be that and he wouldn't need to make much use of his fiery eye. On the other hand, if he was stuck at a bank without a prop desk, his delta one desk would have to lean long on its UBS swaps. His vol desk would have to lean long on its UBS options. His cash equities desk would have to raise its market in UBS shares and hang on to some inventory. Maybe his credit desk would hedge any UBS credit shorts by buying UBS shares. So he'd have to look at exposures in many places at once. But he could do it.
Perhaps I'm naïve in thinking that this is the circle of life. You'll certainly see people who believe that the unpleasantness at UBS reveals that financial innovation and complexity should be banned, or that any units of banks with Greek letters in their names should be shut down. My own view is that you can't really legislate a world where market makers don't put their capital at risk – that's what a market maker does. And if you're willing to tolerate any form of financial complexity, you will have a world where the risks that market makers take are multiform, and where market makers have a lot of "proprietary" discretion to decide which risks to keep and which to hedge. And relying on forms of words like "proprietary trading" and "client facilitation" is not an intelligent way to think about systemic management of those risks.

So it's been about 2 months since I've ventured out to the mall with my 2 year old. Having more energy than usual today, I decided to give it a whirl. I've been dying to get to Yankee Candle because I got an awesome buy 1 get 1 free coupon and because my house has recently been smelling of dirty diapers and smelly clothes.
I decided to go through my usual entrance: Macy's Children. I'm truly surprised that a wanted sign with my picture is not already posted on their door, or that security isn't standing there waiting to kick me out the moment I arrive due to my son's previous acts of destruction at that mall. Every single time I leave that mall it is holding a screaming, kicking child with one hand, while trying to maneuver a stroller with the other. Mind you their doors are not automatic.
But anyways, this time was no different. Consistency is definitely not a problem in this household… Just getting him into the stroller was a struggle after he had a meltdown over wanting to see the trolley. Once inside I did manage to get to Yankee Candle where he insisted on smelling every candle on the shelf. The sales lady looked like she was going to pass out when she saw him grab a candle off the shelf. I, too, was on the verge of a meltdown over the prospect of having to pay $22.99 for each broken candle that I couldn't even use. I picked two random candles that looked like they would do the trick: Cider Donut and Vanilla Cupcake. After fleeing the mall I got home and looked at my choices (and smelled them for the first time!). One pictured four scrumptious looking donuts and the other a yummy looking vanilla cupcake with sprinkles. Funny how on the verge of a meltdown my instincts grabbed things that pictured junk food. So my unconscious mind associates trouble with junk food… I think I might be on to something :)

Here are a few common-sense actions people can take to avoid being a victim.
Number one, lock your car and house doors. What do you think locks are for? They are to keep out intruders.
Number two, do not put your good jewelry in a jewelry box. That's the first place a burglar will look for valuables.
Number three, if you have caller ID and don't know the name that shows up on your phone, don't answer it. If it's important, they can leave a message.
Proterra Inc. is a world leader in the design and manufacture of zero-emission vehicles. In 2011 we were excited when Proterra announced it was moving its corporate headquarters and manufacturing to South Carolina.
We're number 1!
This is the glorious chant of Clemson football fans these days. They deserve it, and all of us in the state ought to be proud of them.
(Full disclosure: My wife, son and daughter are all proud USC alums. They bleed garnet – so I'm all too aware that not everyone in South Carolina is proud of Clemson. Fair enough.)
There is a relationship between evidence-based treatments and better health outcomes. Springs Memorial Hospital understands this relationship and we are excelling at providing treatment for heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia, surgical care and immunizations.
We saw it coming, of course. But honestly, I didn't think it would happen so fast.
No, no. I'm not talking about the Cubs tanking (It's 2016, people – that's our year!). I'm referring to how quickly politicians and government officials went from lip-service compassion for flood victims to calling for a massive tax increase to "fix" the problem.
When President Obama says we have Isis contained, he should say we have Isis right where it wants to be. Its members are building a caliphate, not a nation, a theocratic area of control whose borders can and will fluctuate.
While surfing through Facebook, I came across some humorous definitions that I wanted to share. I don't know who wrote them.
◆ Socialist: You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor.
◆ Democrat: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You feel guilty for being successful. You vote people into office who tax your cows, forcing you to sell one to pay your taxes. The people you voted for then take the tax money and buy a cow and give it to your neighbor. You feel righteous.
Recently, my church, Wade Memorial Presbyterian, joined the Lancaster Area Coalition for the Homeless, HOPE of Lancaster Inc. and the Lancaster County Council on Aging to help raise money for the homeless here.
I asked if anyone would like to spend the night and sleep like the homeless do. I was able to turn in $70 in donations. My son, Sam, agreed to represent his church, St. Luke United Methodist Church, and do this with me. On Sept. 25, we both slept inside a cardboard box at the fairgrounds, where it rained most of the night.

Cough is a common symptom in people who have asthma, although it can occur for many other reasons. It's generally a healthy reflex that helps clear the airways (the tubes that carry air into and out of the lungs) in the throat and chest, but is often also a sign of airway irritation, as is the case in a person with asthma. For many children with asthma, a cough is their primary - and sometimes even their only - symptom. But some people with asthma may only cough at night or while exercising.

Allen Brothers Stanley Cup Donation
Chicago, IL (May 27, 2010) — As part of the historic Chicago Blackhawks Stanley Cup Wager by Mayor Richard M. Daley, Allen Brothers donated six boxes of 34 ounce, USDA Prime "Blackhawk Chop" Long Bone Ribeye steaks and 5,000 steak burgers, along with assortments of Allen Brothers side dishes. The donations went to Blackhawks charities.
The special wager began when Mayor Daley challenged Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson just prior to the playoff series between the Blackhawks and the Canucks, which Chicago won 4 – 2. Mayor Daley continued his Stanley Cup Wager with Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter leading up to the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals between the Blackhawks and the Philadelphia Flyers.
The Allen Brothers donation of steaks, burgers and assorted side dishes was part of a special event celebrating the Blackhawks reaching the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1992. Blackhawks Chairman Rocky Wirtz and Team President John McDonough hosted the charity gala at the United Center and saw a great turnout by Chicago food companies and institutions.

IIS Failed Request Tracing is a powerful way to troubleshoot Web Requests, it provides an easy way to track each execution step for one specific request. URL Rewrite Module provides several events that can be tracked using Failed Request Tracing, here is an article that explains how: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/467/using-failed-request-tracing-to-trace-rewrite-rules/
IIS Modules have the ability to publish ETW Events almost for free and URL Rewrite was not the exception and implemented this feature. There are many ways to listening for ETW Event, but one way that I found really easy is using the Event Viewer and the Reliability and Performance tools in Windows 2008 (and Vista).
I'm running Windows 2008, so let me show you how to listen the URL Rewrite ETW events using the Server Manager tool.
Let's do a break. At this point you had configured Windows to start listening URL Rewrite events; those events will be recorded in a ETL file that can be processed by many tools like Log Parser and TraceRpt.exe. To display those event in the Event Viewer you need:
I will have some conclusions later, I have to leave now. Hope you find it somehow useful.

Prominent real-estate investor Sam Zell laid out his 10,000-foot view of the U.S real-estate market on Tuesday, calling the market in private and commercial real-estate "healthy" with multi-family buildings the strongest sector. At the Invest for Kids conference in Chicago, Mr. Zell said the continued trend to defer marriage until later in life has proved a boon to apartments and condos across the country, and to his own company, Equity Group Investments. He called that "perhaps the most significant" factor in keeping multi-family as the strongest investing area in commercial real estate, noting with a personal anecdote the difference between his era and today. "I graduated college and was married 10 days later," he said. "Times were different. There was no pill." [MoneyBeat]

A recent Pew poll showed a sharp change in Americans' political party identification: Democrats now outnumber Republicans 50 percent to 35 percent, as opposed to 2002, when both had 43 percent. These numbers may overstate the Democratic advantage. They measure all adults rather than just voters, and Pew's numbers in 2004 and 2006 were more Democratic than the exit polls. Still, the trend is clear.
What does it mean for 2008? Let me offer three scenarios and reasons why each may not happen.
The Blair scenario. In the early 1990s, Britain's Conservatives were regarded as nasty but competent. Then, Britain was forced to devalue its currency. Mortgage payments shot up, and the Conservatives' reputation for competence vanished. The result: Tony Blair's Labor Party won huge victories in 1997, 2001 and 2005.
The scenario here would be for Democrats to enlarge their congressional majorities and sweep to a 40-state presidential victory in 2008. The Republicans' reputation for competence was damaged by Iraq and Katrina. Under the Blair scenario, they would go further downhill, especially if Iraq is still seen as a losing cause.
Why it won't happen: Labor won only after Tony Blair rebranded the party as New Labor, with moderate policies. If the Old Labor Party leader John Smith had not died suddenly in 1994, to be replaced by the 41-year-old Blair, Labor might have lost or won only narrowly -- or so the British political experts I trust believe.
Here, Democrats don't seem to be rebranding themselves as "new Democrats," as Bill Clinton did successfully in 1992. As for competence, Republicans will have a new leader in 2008, and the candidates now polling the highest -- Rudy Giuliani, John McCain and Mitt Romney -- can plausibly claim that quality.
The Ike scenario. In 1952, the United States was mired in a deadly conflict -- 10 times as bloody as Iraq -- that the incumbent president could not end. Then there emerged a candidate with a record of making life-and-death decisions in war: Dwight Eisenhower. Ike captured the Republican nomination from "Mr. Republican," Robert Taft, and then beat a refreshing new face from Illinois, Adlai Stevenson, who had little military experience. The victory came despite the Democrats' big edge in party identification.
None of the Republican candidates can claim experience just like Ike's. But Rudy Giuliani did command a uniformed force of 40,000 -- which reduced crime in New York City by 64 percent in eight years. John McCain served in combat and has had a record of close attention to military affairs ever since.

In 2018, a Dutch city will take its annual turn as Europe's Cutural Capital. Eindhoven, which Forbes recently named the world's most inventive city, is interested and asked nearby Tillburg University to find out whether being a Cultural Capital and creating a yearlong program of events was worth the cost and effort.
According to the Tillburg study, the answer is yes. Past Cultural Capitals, from Stockholm to Genoa, invested an average of Euro 38 million, while the total economic impact from visitor spending was more than Euro 70 million. Front-runners, like Liverpool, managed to gain Euro 1 billion in total economic output from a Euro 200 million public and private investment. But then, not every community is the birthplace of the Beatles.
Two years before Forbes lauded Eindhoven's inventiveness, ICF had already named the Eindhoven Region the 2011 Intelligent Community of the Year. One reason was the region's innovative use of culture to support its economic growth. Both the city and the region are known for high-tech manufacturing, from automotive systems and solar power to the machines that make silicon chips. That economic success depends on Eindhoven's ability to educate, attract and retain highly skilled workers.
So Eindhoven hosts an annual 12-day festival called STRP, which attracts 225,000 visitors and features music, film, live performances, interactive art and robotics. Another festival, called GLOW, celebrates the region's history as the birthplace of Phillips and its lighting division. For 10 days, the city center becomes an open-air museum of design in light, projected on buildings and sidewalks, much of it interactive, for the delight of 65,000 visitors.
Taichung is known as the Mechanical Kingdom for the success of its precision manufacturing sector. But Industrial Age success is not enough to ensure a prosperous future and, starting more than a decade ago, Taichung set out to make a name for itself as a cultural center. It founded the Da Dun Fine Arts Competition, which has since attracted 12,500 artists from around the world and drawn headliners including Luciano Pavarotti, Jose Carreras, Yo-Yo Ma and Lady Gaga. In 2001, residents took part in just 4 cultural events per year on average; by 2009, they were attending 35. The strategy seems to be working: in a coup for the city, Ang Lee decided to film Life of Pi there.
Drive into our 2012 Intelligent Community of the Year and you will pass a welcome sign announcing that you are entering the City of Arts & Innovation. Despite a development strategy focused on the latest technologies, the city of Riverside, California, USA sees value in celebrating its artistic heritage. Why? America's capital of West Coast culture, Los Angeles, is only 60 miles to the west, and Riverside has labored hard and successfully to be much more than a distant bedroom community for LA.
The arts give us pleasure, gift us with insight and transform how we see the world. The leaders of Intelligent Communities know how much more they can do: shape the way the community sees itself and contribute directly to its prosperity.
Tallinn has been a Top 7 Intelligent Community five times. From an ICF perspective it is clearly an ICT superstar. It is a community that has had strong local and national leadership and has taken advantage of the technology that is available to it and makes no bones about using it. Some would even say that it has achieved this success through political will.
I have had the opportunity to visit Tallinn several times. Tallinn is without a doubt a high-velocity intelligent community that has taken exciting, but calculated risks to create a city that its citizens can be very proud of. As my hosts explained, the citizens of Tallinn benefit from the enlightenment of their government leaders. Tallinn rose out from under the iron curtain in 1991 and in many cases had to learn how to become entrepreneurial, take risks and learn to become an intelligent community. As a city and region, it has had a long history of conquests with many different governments coming into power and building and running most aspects of it. Today it's still very much that way. As my hosts would say, "in our culture, government provides for more than 80% of the way things are done and then, the rest of our activities are provided by the private sector."
Although Tallinn has much government support and influence in nearly everything that gets done in the community, the city has a wonderful feel and sense about itself. It is not oppressed and uninviting. In fact, there is much to do, from spectacular medieval tourism, to international-level entertainment and interesting and highly rated restaurants. The exceptional heritage of the medieval community is UNESCO protected.
In a meeting with Tallinn's Mayor, Edgar Savisaar and his City Secretary, Toomas Sepp, they explained that through political will, free mobility for its citizens on all buses, trams and shuttles was launched in January 2013 (yes, that is right, free transit for every Tallinn citizen!). This program was designed to encourage an increase in environmentally-friendly transit, lower car dependency and to increase registration of citizens, thereby helping to increase the local tax-rolls. This action has already paid for itself by an increase of tens of thousands new citizens registered for the free transit passes. The city also has an extensive e-platform where many civic and other e-services are provided. Free wireless access seems to be everywhere in the city.
The country saw a major boom in the mid-2000's when significant Scandinavian investment came to Estonia. But the financial crisis that followed in 2008 was very difficult for Tallinn with thousands of companies going bankrupt and thousands of low-skilled workers becoming unemployed. Today, despite efforts to keep their talent, especially skilled workers, doctors and those in service industries, many have moved to Scandinavia and elsewhere to seek employment. My hosts lament that in Finland these workers are attracted by salaries and benefits three times that which Estonia offers. They recognize that more needs to be done and in a hurry to stem the tide of skilled workers leaving the country.
During a private meeting with the Estonian President, Toomas Hendrik Ilves, we discussed Estonia's excellence in cyber security and the global respect that counties have for Estonia's security experience. He also told me that while the Estonian government support will continue in its expertise in cyber security, they must now also focus on education, developing skilled workers, and more importantly finding ways to retain their talent as well as promote and encourage entrepreneurialism, especially research-based entrepreneurialism.
I had visited several years before and during my first visit was honoured to have dinner with one of the founders of Skype. We discussed his next venture having sold Skype to Microsoft. Everyone I met in Tallinn seemed to be, or wanted to be, a serial entrepreneur. The Skype story was what everyone in Estonia talked about and wanted to emulate – to be the next Skype success story. This can be possible if the same political will is directed to creating an environment, an ecosystem that will nurture creativity, innovational and entrepreneurialism. It seems that this is on its way. For instance, the city's free wireless services and extensive high-speed broadband throughout the municipality is now being augmented by the Broadband Alliance's "EstWin" initiative that will extend broadband throughout Estonia; a significant contribution to digital inclusion for all Estonians. Tallinn and its educational and business partners have launched multiple incubators targeting medical and biotech, mechatronics, ICT and creative services, including Europe's first gaming accelerator. In addition, its Ülemiste City industrial estate has expanded to house 250 companies, making it the Baltic's biggest knowledge-based development. Incubators are growing to support innovation and creative industries; there is a sense that supporting start-ups will attract and retain local and foreign talent to nurture much needed diversity across scientific, industrial and commercial sectors. As advocates, the sense of the Intelligent Community movement penetrates much of the government and institutional sectors.
Tallinn's leaders seem keen to do the right thing and are looking at innovative ways to evolve and sustain their community as an Intelligent Community. And they are embarking on a new attitude toward creating an environment supportive of entrepreneurialism to see it through. While Enterprise Estonia is funded primarily by government funds, it supports entrepreneurs enthusiastically. The community is actively looking to help support the next Skype to evolve out of Tallinn's many start-ups. For instance "Garage48", a small band of highly entrepreneurial and networked folks in Tallinn has evolved to encourage entrepreneurialism through networking and sharing of ideas. However, they lack the funds to assist companies directly. While fledgling, they have a great sense of spirit and enthusiasm and attract many new start-ups to their new facilities for networking events. Their motto "Screw it; Let's do it" speaks for itself.
In seeking new ways to stop the brain drain and reverse the tide toward achieving a new brain gain, Tallinn and Estonia's leadership will need to develop policies, programs and strong initiatives to encourage retention of their talent. This is not an Estonian problem alone. Globally, companies, universities and cities are seeking to attract and retain the best and brightest of their talent. Competition is fierce. New ideas are emerging to evolve entrepreneurial ecosystems to encourage growth. For instance, understanding and benefitting from talent mobility may become the next big idea. It is a challenge that Tallinn and Estonia are facing today; but with political will, they will no doubt find a route on their next journey.
Before my tenth birthday I had nailed a perfect jump shot over the arms of the mayor of Detroit.
The current Mayor of Detroit, USA, Dave Bing, has been in the news often these days. It is not the way he wanted to re-enter the spotlight. He is experiencing something he never imagined in his city. Detroit, as people worldwide know, has become the epicenter of a crisis and the focus of a debate that was long ago settled by those of us in the Intelligent Community movement. Its declaration of bankruptcy, while painful to witness, is ultimately a non-event to most observers. It is the last chapter of a post-Industrial Age saga whose end was written long ago. Stories like the one in Michigan, as we know, have had multiple endings. Not all are as sad as this giant's tale, where the number of industrial jobs has fallen from 300,000 in 1962 to a mere 27,000 last week, and it takes nearly an hour for a first responder to arrive after a 911 call. Many have an opposite end. There are stories of rebirth. Chattanooga comes first to mind. Eindhoven in the Netherlands and Sunderland, England also have a fine story to tell the world. Their stories are told by ICF and are studied by others.
The modern tales of urban rise and fall, or in Detroit's case of falling further, have been written by hundreds of authors around the world. These authors are people who understand what is at the end of the assembly line for the next generation of workers who are scandalously undereducated, poorly-served by a corrupt and visionless political class and who hold onto illusions and balance sheets woven without the benefit of reality. As Nobel recipient Paul Krugman rather cold-heartedly wrote yesterday, "Decline happens." It is true. But it is not inevitable. Nor is it a crime. It is a shame. Cities like Detroit have one common characteristic. None seem to factor in to their calculation that the only truth of life worth remembering is that everything is impermanent except change itself. Most of us learn that lesson way too late, having been led to believe that it just ain't so. It is. Only the enlightened embrace it as core to their lives and factor it in to the management of their cities and towns.
However my Dave Bing story is of another kind. Of another Summer day. It is a childhood memory of a happier era in both of our lives. My story is a tale of what we used to call "endless summer." When, as George Gershwin wrote, "the livin' was easy." It takes place in another part of the world which was touched, as was Detroit, by a similar illusion of permanence. On one summer afternoon, however, illusions were fine and hung in the moist air of an Upstate New York village. For a nine-year old kid it felt just fine.
That Summer the current mayor of Detroit was not a beleaguered, usurped politician. He was, like the glittering city of Detroit, the essence of grace, power and success. Mr. Bing is even today known for his long, distinguished career as a professional basketball player. The mayor had game. The mayor could thump hoops. Big time. He was a point guard with a sweet jump shot. So sweet that he was elected to the National Basketball Association's all-star team many times. He is in the league's Hall of Fame today and after his career in sports went on to become a success at business, a good father and eventually a politician. Detroit was his home.
Lyons, New York was mine. While Mayor Bing was rising to great heights as a premier athlete, I was an elementary school point guard with not much game. But like him I had a pretty good jump shot, great ambition and a kid's illusions. Mr. Bing was my idol. He was someone I admired from afar. His ability to spring ramrod straight into the air, release a basketball from his long fingers with perfect rotation and land softly as the ball swished through a basket, were the images in my head every time I practiced my jumpshot – which I did for hours and hours each day.
One afternoon, in a convergence only the Great Spirit could direct, he came to my little hometown in the Finger Lakes region to play a pickup game of basketball! At the time he was a college player, a star at nearby Syracuse University. He was in my village thanks to his university roommate, who also was a pretty good basketball player and lived in Lyons. This would be college Hall of Fame basketball coach Jim Boeheim. Jimmy is the second-most successful coach in American college basketball history, and has two Olympic gold medals as the USA Men's assistant coach to his credit. There is a sign acknowledging that Lyons is his hometown. You can see it, in bright orange, as you drive from Route 14 south into the village, where you also pass the cemetery where his father and mine are buried. They were close friends. It was a close community.
Word went out that Bing was playing in town at an outdoor basketball court that a local town justice had built for his son. Viral marketing in those days resulted in a lot of kids rushing up Foster Street in their Converse sneakers to see The Man and his jump shot. It was a phenomenal thing to see! What made it more phenomenal was that he challenged guys to play him one-on-one. I am not sure how it ultimately went down, but somehow the little runt who lived on Maple Street, who was always talking (me), got a chance to face him. I am here to testify that the giant was gentle.
I started to "trash talk" him I am sure. Given the fact that I was a popular little guy on the street and there to humor the big guys, it was my role. Bing missed his shot, on purpose. It was my turn. I took the ball and I stared him down, as he is staring down Detroit's woes. My heart beat fast. As I had seen him do on TV, I faked right, moved left and after a single bounce arched the ball toward the rim. All I remember is his outstretched hand, obviously being held back. It still looked like a 40-foot tree. If he had wanted, he could have slapped my shot three counties east. But of course he did not. I have no idea if the rest of this is true, because I had a sort of blackout. But I was told that the ball swished through the hoop and that Dave Bing lost the only game of the afternoon against the future co-captain of the Lyons High School basketball team, and co-founder of ICF.
Some stories are made to teach. This is one of them. Bing was a role model who lived up to the essence of one that day. My confidence was lifted for life. Thanks, Dave (and Jimmy).
Now it is time for us to give him a shot at a bigger, more important goal. Those of us leading ICF and the movement, especially the mayors of our Intelligent Communities, can reach out our hands to Mayor Dave and to Detroit and show him how he can rewrite his story.
Last week, ICF opened its 2013-2014 Awards cycle (next deadline September 23!) and introduced our theme for the year: Community as Canvas. It looks at the role of culture in the progress of a city or region.
Culture? Why are we asking about that instead of megabits per second or incubators and business accelerators? Why did we write a white paper, Community as Canvas, about three specific aspects of culture in Intelligent Communities? That's what a blogger for Cisco asked me last week during an interview.
Here's why. ICF studies how cities and regions use information and communications technology to create prosperity, so people naturally think we're all about technology. But actually, we have never been. ICF is about that unique place where technology intersects with human beings in a local context. And where humans are, there is culture. We are as dependent on culture as we are on the air we breathe.
If you follow the news these days, you cannot help coming across stories of cultural conflict. Egypt is being torn apart by a conflict between young people importing ideals of non-sectarian democracy and those who see any modern, non-Islamic culture as unacceptable. But the culture wars are cropping up everywhere, from the street protests of Brazil to the strains affecting the European Union. In my country's politics, the cultures of the conservative and liberal wings have so little in common that they have completely different interpretations of the words they are fighting over.
Culture is also the foundation for all progress. No less an innovator than Sir Isaac Newton wrote that, if he had seen a bit further into the universe than the rest of us, it was "by standing on the shoulders of giants." With those words he paid tribute to the learning he had gained from others and a lifetime of support and encouragement for his own development – to the culture that made possible his achievements.
When we seek to chart a new course, as Intelligent Communities do, culture matters most of all. The culture of the community forms the launch pad for every program and project. It provides a wide range of intangible assets that Intelligent Community champions put to use. It helps determine how readily new ideas are accepted. It can supply the words that persuasively explain a vision of the future and build support for it, and the narrative that helps people understand where they belong in a changing world.
Or it can cause everything those champions attempt to blow up in their faces.
Underneath the digital ripples of our connected age flows the deep river of human culture, unchanged in its essential operation for millennia. Humanity will continue to respond to change as it has always responded, will embrace what seems good and fear what it does not yet understand. Yet that same culture is at the heart of what ICF calls advocacy: the process of education and persuasion by which a city's people become its most potent drivers of progress.
That's why Intelligent Community leaders think about the cultural drivers of the community, and find ways to turn them in the direction of progress. Unless they do, all the megabits and incubators in the world will profit them not at all.
There is a place in the Netherlands, that land of relaxed efficiency, where high-tech rules. Actually there is more than one. But the one I know best is the Eindhoven Region, which was our 2011 Intelligent Community of the Year. Here, they pull off the parlor trick of being a high-cost country and yet leading in manufacturing through leading-edge technology in the hands of a highly skilled workforce.
So it was with great surprise that I learned over dinner with my friend Joep Brouwers, vice director of Brainport Development, that Eindhoven is facing a skills shortage. More specifically, they already have skilled manufacturing jobs going begging, and they expect the situation to worsen. The problem is that talented young people don't want to work in something as physically demanding, dirty, and economically uncertain as manufacturing.
The Netherlands is not alone. In a 2009 survey by Area Development magazine, 70 percent of American respondents viewed manufacturing as a top priority for the nation's economy, but only 17 percent considered it a top career choice – despite average manufacturing wages that are $10,000 higher than those of non-manufacturing jobs. Even in China, the world's factory floor, the lure of manufacturing isn't what it used to be. The Global Times reported on a Chongqing job fair in early January. An aluminum processing plant offering good starting salaries, free food and accommodations received only 20 applications from high-school graduates, while a real estate company offering a lower salary was deluged with hundreds of job-seekers.
But wait a minute. Arduous and physically demanding? Not on today's automated assembly lines. Dirty? Most modern factories, even the ones without clean rooms, are probably tidier than my living room. Uncertain and prone to boom and bust? Sure – just like real estate, finance, media and entertainment and a hundred other industries.
How did manufacturing get such a bad reputation? In a word: culture. In this case, culture means the store of shared experience with de-industrialization in the rich world that began in the 1970s.
For more than a generation, the decline of manufacturing was the rich world's tale of woe. Developing nations moved up the ladder from manufacturing cheap goods cheaply to making extremely sophisticated and high-quality goods cheaply. The explosive growth of world trade brought that competition right to the shores of industrialized nations, and they found to their frustration and shame that they could not compete. Manufacturing declined as jobs moved offshore in a long terrible wave that seemed to have no end and that brought many formerly prosperous places to their knees.
As I wrote recently, those years may finally be coming to a close. Places like Eindhoven point the way to a future in which high-cost countries can compete in manufacturing as long as they make things that exploit their competitive advantage. But the trauma has left its mark. Trauma always does.
The people who raised today's youth lived through what looked like the death-spiral of manufacturing. They want something better for their children than they experienced themselves. As communities work to match local employment demand with local talents, they need to overcome the anti-manufacturing bias of the new generation. Left unchallenged, legacy has a bad habit of turning into destiny.

I've just begun using WP 2.3.1 and ran across a problem that was addressed by ticket #2395. However, it has a minor typo on line 669 that causes a "$link" string to be output instead of the actual category listing.
The line currently reads:
$output .= "\t" . '

It should read:
$output .= "\t" . '

I hope some of the WP developers will notice my post and make the needed correction.

F-off peoplez NO I'm not going into labor today, I feel absolutely nothing just as yesterday when you asked.. and I feel like a pregnant lady who has no end in sight. Seriously my dad calls me three times a day! I might even blow up on him today and just say "dont even ask". Sorry but I already hated pre-pregnancy stupid questions! They are all soo freakn repetitive!

Just wanted to start my blog off by saying that I am still going strong on the resolution. Even on a day I worked, yesterday, I did 10 minutes of pilates (I know it's not much, but I am kind of busy on work days) and ate my salad (I put a little swiss and salami in it — and I mean a LITTLE, but it was yummy — like a club salad kinda).
So… last night we had a fetal demise, almost term. We all just sit around and marvel how moms who have smoked (do you smoke ?) can have a perfectly fine baby and yet other moms just have weird things happen, and their babies die. I wonder how God decides who gets which trials and the funny thing is, that those moms smoking , perhaps those babies will be their biggest trial, whereas other moms would've counted that as their greatest blessing. I know in my heart that God will even it all out in the end.

2014 NBA All-Star Game sets records for lack of defense
It was a night full of record breaking performances at the 2014 NBA All-Star Game. Here's a breakdown of what we saw:
• This was the most points scored in the NBA All-Star Game with a combined score of 318 points. The previous record was 303 in 1987. What's really impressive is how many points were scored despite the defense. Kidding. Just kidding. No defense was played. None, zilch, zero, nada. The East set a record for points with 16. (It was also the highest scoring half in the first half of course, with 165 points combined. That's a Bulls game.)
• Carmelo Anthony set a record with eight made 3-pointers. He scored 30 points ... and still didn't win MVP. But hey, most made 3s! Carmelo also set the record for "Most times he grimaced when having to talk about how his team's season is going at the All-Star break."
• Kyrie Irving tied a record for points in a single half with 24, tying Glen Rice in 1997. He was 11 of 13 in the second half. Let's hope that's an analogy for his season. He also broke the record for "most questions asked about his relationship with another All-Star" referring to LeBron.
•Blake Griffin nearly broke an NBA record for scoring, finishing with 38. The record was set by Wilt Chamberlain in 1962 with 42. He did set an NBA record for made field goals with 19. And no, not all of them were dunks.
• Kevin Durant set a record for most 3-point attempts with 17. That part's actually less shocking than him missing 13 of them. KD still finished with over 50 percent shooting because he's KD. He raised his record All-Star points per game to 28.8.

Potter's Pasties to open storefront near Dinkytown
Another truck moving into a storefront
It's an awfully long, dark season to suffer through without the comfort of those hearty hand pies we've come to love. Luckily, we've just received news that tantalizingly soon, we will be able to fulfill our Potter's Pasties craving year-round.
The new location will be next to Joe's Market on Como Avenue, in a former Broadway Pizza. The goal will be a space just like an English pasty shop, which means no seating. Pasty people can just come 'round the back, down the stairs, and straight into the belly of the action. Carry-out options will include ready-to-eat pasties as well as par-baked (for a slightly lower price) with baking instructions.

What is this???
posted 8 years ago
I work at a kennel so have seen many dogs with this thing. I have seen very few that play/chew on it...Needless to say, this toy has been around for a Long time. If your dog chews on a lot of different things maybe you could try this as it does last and creates no mess...Otherwise, I wouldn't waste your money.
Pros: um...I dont know...
Cons: they dont know what this is and dont touch it

Worth the price
posted 7 years ago
Although pricey, when you break it down to time in service it is minimal. We have two strong chewers and this is one of the few toys/bones that they can't destroy in a matter of minutes.
Pros: neat, no chips lay around, dogs occupied for some time
Cons: none

My dogs' favorite chew toy
posted 8 years ago
I'm surprised to see the negative reviews here because Galileo bones (along with other Nylabones from the same material) are my three dogs' favorite chew toys. At least twice a day, they all settle down and have a chomping session--they love them!
Pros: durable, enjoyable for a variety of dogs
Cons: expensive, can cause stomach upset if consume too much

Warnings/notes: might contain a tiny, little spoiler for The Viscount of Adrilankha.
Disclaimer: The wondrous world of Dragaera was created by Steven Brust.
written at 24th march 2006, by Misura, as a failed attempt at writing a drabble for the livejournal-community dragaera100 (prompt: Sethra Lavode)
Once, I asked Sethra why the majority of all those Dzur-heroes who felt an urge to go and try to knock on her front-door were never heard from again. I'd accepted by then that if she was ever going to tell -what- had happened to them, it wouldn't be to me, but I was rather curious about the why.
The Jhereg don't like people snooping about either, only that doesn't mean everyone who shows a bit of interest receives a pointed warning not to stick his nose where it doesn't belong. That'd be bad for business after all; no Jhereg worth his life will kill someone without getting paid for it (not permanently, at any rate), and no Jhereg with the kind of authority it takes to have someone killed will do so without a better reason than mere human curiosity. Of course, since Sethra doesn't sell anything, that comparison's a bit flawed.
She didn't answer me right away, which I considered a hopeful sign. After all, if you're not going to tell someone something, you don't need any time to straighten out your story or, in this case, decide how to phrase your story in such a way that the person you're telling it to will understand.
By which I don't mean to say I'm dumb, but rather that Sethra's view on the world was a bit different from mine, a circumstance which didn't keep us from being polite to each other whenever we met in the halls of Castle Black, but which did limit our conversations somewhat.
"Morrolan visited me once, to demand I paid him his dues as Count of Southmoor," she said at last.
I mulled this over for a bit. Morrolan is actually a Dragonlord, not a Dzur, but the difference doesn't seem all that great sometimes. I tried to imagine what this world might look like if Morrolan had disappeared without a trace, before he got around to doing all that stuff that left him as the Lord of Castle Black and the guy with the best chance at becoming the next Warlord.
"What did you do?" I'd seen arguments between Aliera and Morrolan. If I got any say in the matter, I tried to only see them from a safe distance, or not at all. I didn't really want to imagine Morrolan and Sethra going head to head, although I assumed they hadn't, considering that both Dzur-mountain and Morrolan were still there.
"I gave him Blackwand." She didn't even grin when she told me.
"Right." I thought I might have heard that before, somewhere, although I hadn't known that he'd gotten it from her after demanding she acknowledged him as her liege-lord. There had to be an interesting story there that I'd doubtlessly be better off not knowing about. Maybe Morrolan would tell me if I asked him nicely and while he was drunk.
"The Empire needed a strong Dragon Heir." She leaned back, her eyes half-closed. "And Verra favored him."
I mulled things over a bit more. "Is that all it takes then, to survive seeking out the Enchantress in her lair? Being needed by the Empire and possessing the favor of a goddess?"
"That's all it takes." This time, she did grin. "It's remarkable an Easterner figured out what so many humans don't seem to understand after a hundred years or more."

Suddenly getting this error on attempting to insert any shortcode:

I upgraded to 3.9.1 but this made no difference. I have not made any recent changes to plugin etc., but have deactivated a number of the most recent additions, but this makes no difference either.
Previously used shortcodes still work ok.
I checked this out on a client site also and found the same problem.
