San Diego When a bonus scandal rocked the agency in charge of redevelopment southeast of downtown San Diego, many residents feared then that city leaders would dissolve the organization and the community would lose control over the projects built in its backyard.
That hasn't happened because the Southeastern Economic Development Corp. hired new leaders and opened up its books and contracts to outsiders. Agency officials also started asking residents what kind of development they wanted instead of telling them what was going to happen.
The transformation, which began when President Carolyn Smith exited in October 2008, has been rough at times. The weak economy has forced the agency to slash one-third of its staff and reduced the amount of money it has to invest in major redevelopment projects that would catch the public's eye.
Despite those challenges, agency officials say they have been able to move forward with more than a dozen smaller projects and begin to restore SEDC's reputation by earning the trust of community leaders day by day.
Cruz Gonzalez, the agency's board chairman, is one of three board members to serve throughout the tumult and rebirth. He said the difference in style has been like night and day.
"We're trying to climb out of the mess," Gonzalez said. "I think we've done that organizationally. We're trying to increase visibility, responsiveness and transparency … so when the economy turns around, we'll be able to invest in development."
An arm of the city's Redevelopment Agency, the SEDC was created in 1981 as a way to take property tax revenue from a 7.2-square-mile area southeast of downtown and reinvest it into the community to create affordable housing, improve infrastructure, build parks and coax developers to replace blighted properties with retail and housing projects.
The SEDC's area of influence includes all or parts of several neighborhoods: Chollas View, Encanto, Logan Heights, Memorial, Mountain View, Mount Hope, Stockton, Southcrest and Valencia Park.
More than $150 million has been reinvested by the SEDC over the past three decades, and the agency has shepherded several multimillion-dollar projects, including the Imperial Marketplace shopping center and the 56-unit Evergreen Village housing complex.
Recent moves have been much more subtle. A $25,000 mural now covers a 400-foot concrete wall at the 62nd Street trolley station. Installation of $210,000 in streetlights for Imperial Avenue is scheduled to begin soon. And $1.6 million has been set aside for the second phase of Southcrest Trails Neighborhood Park.
The biggest project in the pipeline is a Valencia Park business park, which could be industrial or commercial depending on the bids received by Friday's deadline. The agency plans to spend $5 million to acquire the site and prepare for development.
Not everyone agrees with the SEDC's current approach. Some would rather see bigger and more visible projects going up.
"I don't think they've turned anything around," said Eddie Price, a small-business owner from Valencia Park. "I think they've just stopped the bleeding."
Price said he needs to see more shovels in the ground before he'll believe that the agency has changed for the better.

Good Fortune by the Cupful; Brazil Coffee Producers Turn to the High-End Market
By SIMON ROMERO
Published: September 25, 1999
ALFENAS, Brazil— At an air-conditioned compound carved out of the rolling green hills of southeastern Brazil, the headquarters of the coffee plantation overseen by Washington Luiz Alves Rodrigues buzzes with the kind of intensity one expects at an Internet start-up.
''We're emerging from the Stone Age,'' Mr. Rodrigues, 39, said in his glass office here. Nearby, a few dozen casually dressed employees of Ipanema Agricola, one of Brazil's largest coffee producers, hunched over a single table with computers updating bean analyses, weather dispatches and real-time prices.
The company, Brazil's first producer to create a product for Starbucks Coffee, is at the forefront of a wide-reaching transformation in this country's coffee industry, the world's largest. Lured by the market for high-end coffees that has spread from Europe to the United States and is now growing in other countries, many Brazilian producers are focusing for the first time on quality instead of quantity.
Since Brazil produces roughly a third of the world's estimated coffee output of 106.8 million bags -- each bag weighs 132 pounds -- the shift in priority to better-quality coffee could be savored by fans of java around the globe. And together with a parallel quest to increase efficiency, which is resulting in higher yields on Brazilian farms, better coffee could also mean cheaper coffee in coming years.
''The stage where Brazilian coffee is at is similar to where the California wine industry was in the 1970's,'' said Michael Nugent, head of Merrill Lynch & Company's coffee desk in Napa, Calif. ''Back then sweet wines were the thing and dreamers started to create a quality market that was almost nonexistent. The eventual dividends were huge.''
Although analysts agree that it will take a while for changes on Brazil's coffee farms to trickle down to the consumer, a look at how companies like Ipanema have reinvented themselves and at how many other Brazilian producers are following suit, may provide some insight into where the global coffee industry is heading.
The newfound emphasis on quality is a departure from the industry's primary objective, which is supplying large processors like the Procter & Gamble Company, which sells the Folgers brand, or the Philip Morris Companies, which markets Maxwell House. Shipments of instant coffee, in which distinctive taste is not necessarily a plus, are also a priority.
''For more than a century Brazil has produced the most, so there was no need to make the best,'' said Steven Topik, a professor at the University of California at Irvine who is writing a history of coffee.
Although most Brazilian coffee is still sold to large international processors, the crumbling of bureaucratic structures that sought to prop up Brazil's status as the world's leading producer through agreements aimed at controlling production has had much to do with the changes washing over the industry.
In 1989, with much of the world ushering in freer markets, the International Coffee Organization's accord, which used export quotas to help determine prices, was dissolved. Subsequently, the state-controlled Brazilian Coffee Institute, which tried to control production, was abolished in an early effort to limit government interference in the economy.
''It was a big thing for growers to realize that there are actual consumers out there, not just faceless institutions to deal with,'' said Marcelo Vieira, the international director of the Brazilian Specialty Coffee Association, an organization formed by a dozen producers in the early 1990's.
As growers scrambled to adjust to this new reality, they began visiting countries like neighboring Colombia, the world's second-largest producer, where cultivation on small, mountainous farms has resulted in some of the world's most prized coffees. A delegation of farmers also scoured cities like Seattle, where the specialty coffee craze was in full swing.
After observing the way farms in smaller countries supplied the burgeoning market for specialty coffees in the United States, Ipanema, which is half-owned by Julio Bozano, one of Latin America's richest individuals, shifted its strategy to the cultivation of quality beans.
Soon the company won important contracts with clients in Germany, France and Japan. Its biggest coup, though, came with a product called Ipanema Bourbon, which the company says is made from the same acidic beans that were favored by Brazilian coffee barons at the turn of the century, a time when Brazil's weight in world coffee markets was even greater than it is today.
After several years of being wooed, Starbucks, which shunned Brazilian coffee except for use in some of its blends, said a few months ago that Ipanema Bourbon would be its first coffee from Brazil sold straight.
''It became clear to us that here was a coffee detached from Brazil's generic past,'' said Marc Schonland, Starbucks' vice president for green coffee.
Part of the reason it has taken so long for Brazilian producers to tap high-end markets abroad has something to do with the way coffee is consumed in Brazil, which has higher per-capita coffee consumption than the United States, even though the United States has the highest total coffee consumption. In recent years, Brazil has overtaken Germany as the second-largest coffee-consuming country, leading producers to focus more on domestic demand.

Mumbai, April 28 (IANS) 'Nishabd' fame Jiah Khan, who has shot for two days for Ken Ghosh's next, is shocked to hear rumours that she's out of the project and Katrina Kaif is in.
'I've already shot for two days for the untitled film with Shahid Kapur. After that there were scheduling issues. My dates for Ken's film were clashing with Aamir Khan's 'Ghajini'. I couldn't possibly let the Aamir project suffer at any cost. It's my chance to create the impact that I couldn't, for some weird reasons, after Nishabd,' Jiah told IANS.
However, the date problem has been sorted out and Jiah is set to shoot for Ghosh's film.
'I've already given my dates for Ken's shooting. No one has so far informed me that I'm not in the film. So it'd be right for me to presume the project remains as it is.'
As for talk of her over-friendly messages to Shahid, Jiah protests: 'I've just sent him a couple of formal messages saying how much I'm looking forward to working with him. Is that wrong?'
'I'm new to all this. I keep to myself and I've no idea what people do in this industry. I am here only to work.'
Meanwhile, director Ghosh confirmed that Jiah is still in the project.
'I wouldn't like to say much on the matter. I'll let my producers UTV clear all the misunderstanding. But Jiah is very much in the project. This isn't to say that I don't want to work with Katrina Kaif. Of course, I do. Look how hot she's at the box office! We'll work together some other time. It's a small industry.'
But how could Katrina be eligible for a role earmarked for Jiah?
'Why not?' Ghosh shot back. 'Didn't Mr. Bachchan do 'Zanjeer' in place of Dev Anand? And didn't Mr. Bachchan say yes to 'Deewaar' after Rajesh Khanna opted out? These things happen all the time. Like I said, it's a small world.'

Strategies Used to Increase Lifestyle Physical Activity in a Pedometer-Based Intervention
Croteau, Karen A., Journal of Allied Health
The purpose of this study was to determine the self-selected strategies participants used to increase physical activity during an 8-week, pedometer-based lifestyle intervention. Participants were 34 employees of a small northeastern private college, with a mean age of 44.3 (± 9.3) years. The intervention consisted of a counseling session (goal setting, strategy selection), daily pedometer usage, and self-monitoring. Measures included height, weight, and pedometer-assessed ambulatory activity. Participants were placed in body mass index (BMI) and weekly physical activity improvement fertiles. BMI categories included normal weight (BMI 18.6-24.9), overweight (BMI 25-29.9), and obese (BMI ≥30). Weekly physical activity improvement categories included small/no improvement (<1%/wk), moderate improvement (1-5%/wk), and large improvement (>5%/wk). Data analysis consisted of descriptive and non-parametric inferential statistics (χ^sup 2^). Participants in this study used 11 primary strategies on a regular basis to increase daily physical activity. The percentage of participants who used these strategies was as follows: walked to a meeting or work-related errand (64.7%), after work (50.0%), before work (35.3%), at lunch (47.1%), on the weekend (32.4%), while traveling (32.4%), with the dog (32.4%), or to a destination (work/store) (29.4%). Additionally, participants parked farther away (50%), used the stairs rather than an elevator (23.5%), and performed other cardiovascular activity (52.9%). Differences among BMI groups were found for the parking further strategy (p < 0.05), with obese participants using this strategy significantly more than overweight participants. No significant differences were found among weekly physical activity improvement groups. This study indicates that participants in a pedometer-based lifestyle physical activity intervention used a variety of strategies to increase daily physical activity. J Allied Health. 2004; 33:278-281.
THERE HAS BEEN AN increased emphasis on the development of "lifestyle" interventions to increase physical activity.1 Lifestyle physical activity interventions attempt to address public health recommendations that call for the accumulation of at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity on most days of the week while taking into account individual circumstances.2 Lifestyle physical activity interventions have been shown to be as effective as structured exercise programs in increasing physical activity and improving health.1'5'4
The focus of lifestyle physical activity is on self-selected activities (occupational, household, leisure, and formal exercise) that can be incorporated throughout the day, in a variety of settings.1 Additional emphasis has been placed on the accumulation of short bouts of physical activity throughout the day, whether intentional or incidental, because studies have indicated increased adherence and improved health.1,5
Lifestyle physical activity interventions have included various combinations of behavioral change techniques to increase physical activity.3'6'8 Behavioral change techniques commonly used include counseling, goal setting, self-monitoring, feedback, and prompting. Pedometers also have been used in intervention studies, not only to measure physical activity in the form of daily step counts, but to also serve as a cue to action, a feedback device, and a vital element of the self-monitoring process when recording daily steps taken.3'6 In a more recent study, participants set selfdetermined goals and strategies to increase physical activity, wore a pedometer on a daily basis, and recorded their activities and total daily steps on a calendar.6 In another study, goals were predetermined for the participants who wore a pedometer on a daily basis and were instructed to increase their physical activity in any manner that would fit their lifestyle.3
Selection of strategies to increase physical activity has been included in physical activity interventions, as has recording of total amounts of physical activity, either in minutes or step counts. …

Lorikeets return to Micke Grove Zoo April 30 | Animal Lovers
Title (Max 100 Characters)
LODI - Lorikeets!, a popular interactive exhibit of over 50 colorful parrots has returned to Micke Grove Zoo and will debut on Saturday, April 30. At the zoo, visitors can purchase a small cup of lorikeet "nectar", a specialized diet, then feed the inquisitive and gregarious birds.
Native to eastern Australia and some nearby islands, lorikeets, unlike typical seed-eating parrot species, are uniquely adapted to feed on nectar, pollen and soft fruits. They play a significant role in pollinating the many flowering plants that form the basis of their diet.
Lorikeets comprise over 50 unique species, eight of which are represented in the Micke Grove Zoo exhibit. The birds will remain at the zoo through September when they will return to their winter home in Florida. This is the third year that Lorikeets! has been at the zoo where, during their first two visits, the birds attracted record crowds and rave reviews.
Located west of Highway 99 between Stockton and Lodi, Micke Grove Zoo opens daily at 10:00 a.m. Admission is $4.00 for adults and $2.00 for those from three to 17 years of age. Children two years and younger, and members of the Micke Grove Zoological Society, receive free admission. There is an additional charge for admission to Micke Grove Park of $5.00 per car.
For further information about Micke Grove Zoo services and events, visit www.mgzoo.com, or call the zoo Office Monday through Friday at (209) 331-2010.

My research interests are in the areas of gifted education and elementary mathematics education, primarily related to pedagogy, curriculum, and mathematical writing. In addition, I am interested in investigating how teachers' expectations effect their instructional decisions and the mathematics learning opportunities they provide for their students and the integration of technology in mathematics instruction to enhance teaching and learning at the elementary level.
Dr. Stacy Olitsky
The retention of science and math teachers in high-need urban schools is essential to reducing educational inequalities, yet teacher turnover is a persistent problem. I am working on a qualitative study that explores how teachers develop a sense of identity and commitment as STEM teachers in high-need schools. The study draws on interviews, surveys, observations and journal entries in order to investigate the following questions: How do teachers' identities develop within high-need schools? What structural conditions and experiences support the development of strong teacher identities? What is the relationship between identity and decision-making regarding retention?
Students from diverse family backgrounds and communities are overrepresented in the dropout numbers, students who are in conflict with school policy and practice and in the juvenile justice system. There is an urgent need to prepare teachers with the knowledge and skills to work with students who are diverse. With this in mind, my research focuses on the education of at-risk youth, youth in the school and juvenile justice system, and how to prepare teachers with multicultural competencies for working with students from diverse family backgrounds and communities.
Dr. Deborah Valentine
I would be glad to work with students who would be interested in doing historical research, archival and/or oral histories, on childhoods, play advocacy and playground development in the early twentieth century. I focus especially on the role of African American children and female early childhood educators in Philadelphia's play movement, so we could focus a project in those directions. Or we could focus more on ideas about play on the national scene using national publications as primary sources. A final option would be a focus on conducting oral history interviews with people who played at Smith Playground, Soupy Island or Starr Garden playgrounds and doing an analysis of those.

Kool Smiles patients file class-action lawsuit against care organizations
The Associated Press
Contact Editor

Parents of children who receive Medicaid or PeachCare dental treatment from a large dental care provider filed a class action lawsuit Wednesday in federal court against Georgia's community health commissioner and two managed care organizations in an attempt to preserve the children's access to dental care.

The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Rome, Ga., requests an injunction that would prevent WellCare and Peach State Health Plan from terminating the contracts of dental providers Kool Smiles and Help A Child Smile until the organizations can demonstrate the contract terminations will not interfere with the requirements for operating Medicaid dental programs.

The contracts, which allow the providers to provide dental care for children enrolled in Medicaid or PeachCare, which is Georgia's health insurance program for low-income children, are expected to end later this month. Kool Smiles is based in Atlanta; Help A Child Smile is based in Conyers, Ga.

"Given the large volume of patients that are served by these two organizations, it is estimated that well over 50,000 low-income children will be unable to obtain access to the dental care to which they are legally entitled," the lawsuit reads.

But the Georgia Department of Community Health, whose commissioner _ Rhonda Medows _ was named in the lawsuit, disputed that claim in a news release on Wednesday. The state agency previously said parents may sign up affected children for Medicaid dental service through other dentists nearby.

"No child in our Medicaid or PeachCare for Kids programs has lost dental benefits or been dropped from the program due to the contract disputes between Kool Smiles, P.C., and the care management organizations," the state agency said.

David Bear, spokesman for Smyrna, Ga.-based Peach State Health Plan, said Wednesday that his organization had not yet seen the lawsuit.

"There never has been an issue with access _ there always has been access to our members," he said.

The Department of Community Health also announced Wednesday that Kool Smiles was being investigated because of complaints from patients' parents and other dentists "concerning poor care delivery."

The department said it would investigate allegations and concerns that include over-utilization of services, stainless steel crowns and X-rays, unusual patterns of patient restraint and lower use of preventive care, or using fewer sealants for cavity prevention per patient treated.

Dr. David Strange, Kool Smiles' chief dental officer, said the agency's announcement was a "week and feeble attempt" to draw attention away from the problem of proper dental access for low-income children. He said the dental company follows the guidelines of the American Academy of Dentistry.

"This is the first time quality has been raised as an issue after Medicaid patients file a class action lawsuit," Strange said. "Kool Smiles was not terminated for cause _ this was a business decision. Our doors are open; we welcome an inspection, we hold ourselves accountable."

The state agency also said its inspector general began in March an audit of Kool Smiles but would not comment on that investigation until the audit is complete.

Zeller Gmelin Corp. Moving to Henrico
The Henrico County Economic Development Authority (EDA) announced today that the Zeller+Gmelin Corp., a worldwide leader in printing inks, has purchased a building at 4801 Audubon Drive in Henrico to house a manufacturing and warehouse distribution center and corporate offices. The company is expected to occupy the 83,427 square-foot facility during the first quarter of 2011.
Headquartered in Eislingen, Germany, Zeller+Gmelin makes UV printing ink products for lithography, flexography, dry offset and screen printing. It operates more than 30 manufacturing and service support facilities worldwide; the company's products are used in more than 75 countries.
The Henrico facility will allow Zeller+Gmelin to expand its business operations and enhance efficiencies and productivity. The property can accommodate future expansions as well.
"We are pleased to welcome Zeller+Gmelin to Henrico County," said Board of Supervisors Chairman Patricia S. O'Bannon. "They will fit right in with the other quality industrial operations in the area. We look forward to a long relationship with this company."
In addition to Henrico EDA, several county agencies assisted in Zeller+Gmelin's acquisition of the property, including Planning, Building Inspections, Community Revitalization and Finance.

This health-driven prepared-foods café in Tribeca is in an unfortunate location: right around the corner from Whole Foods. While it's certainly hard to compete with the grocery giant, Mulberry & Vine's bright atmosphere and edited selection of local, seasonal, organic foods make it more appealing than its neighbor for takeout lunch or dinner. Inside, you'll find neon yellow chairs, colorful artwork, and chalkboards with useful information about the health benefits of various ingredients. It's an inviting atmosphere, but you'll still probably want to take your meal to go. With this in mind, food is sold by the plate: Three cold side dishes cost $12 total, two cold and one hot are $13, and individual sides cost $4.50 (cold) and $5.50 (hot). It's a bit steep for lunch, but actually quite a good deal for dinnerespecially when you can choose from sides like turkey meatballs, vegetarian enchiladas, and kale with pickled onions and chia seeds. The Southwest quinoa with corn, avocado, chipotle, and cumin seeds is one of Mulberry & Vine's best sellers, and it's clear why: It's spicy, creamy, and yet still healthy. The roasted cauliflower, which comes with a housemade green Sriracha sauce, is also a good pick. Sauces are actually what makes many of Mulberry & Vine's dishes go from simple to satiating. Roasted eggplant tastes fine as is, but it's much better when dunked in the accompanying yogurt sauce. Use whichever vegetables are in season to guide your decisions: Bland tofu sliders are one of the eatery's few misses. And on your way out, make sure to pick up some snacks and juices for the road. Mulberry & Vine makes its own iced teas and smoothies (the strawberry-mango-yogurt one is fantastic) and brings in juices from LuliTonix, gluten-free baked goods from Tu-Lu's, and coffee from Laughing Man, as well as locally sourced chocolates, beef jerky, granola bars, and kale chips.Note

Use of Key Indicators in the Government Sector
Hughes, Jesse, Katwal, Meena, The Journal of Government Financial Management
Information in financial statements published in the private sector is very closely tracked as investors make the decision to buy or sell stocks in the company. Earnings are one of the many factors that may impact the price of the stock. So, financial statements act as a guide for an investor as they can refer to them frequently. Financial statements in the public sector are also very important but are frequently not used in the decision making process. Since the public sector is more thinly capitalized than the private sector, the ability to pay its debt in a timely manner and to achieve fiscal sustainability is very important. In this article, we discuss different types of analysis used in the public sector and how globalization may demand changes in the accounting practices in the public sector for harmonization throughout the world.
Types of Analysis
Horizontal (year to year) - Horizontal analysis is the process of comparing particular items in a financial statement over a period of time. For instance, from the income statement expenses of several years can be compared with each other to see how they are changing; from the balance sheet, the Accounts Receivable may be compared across several months in the same accounting period. These comparisons can be done either in absolute dollar terms or in percentages.
i) Percentage- -This method is particularly useful when comparing companies of different sizes. The dollar value of the change in the financial item of Interest is converted into a percentage form. For instance, a change in the accounts receivable from $100 to $150 is a 5% increase. Thus the percentage increase or decrease in Accounts Receivable may be compared over a number of years.
ii) Absolute Dollars - This method compares the dollar amounts of specific items over a period of time. For example, absolute dollar amount of Accounts Payable may be compared over several months or years. By tracking the Accounts Payable amounts over a number of period we can have an idea of how much we are buying on credit and whether we are paying in time to take advantage of the early payment discounts, when the amounts come due and if we have enough liquid assets in hand to settle the payments when they come due without incurring any penalties for paying late. By comparing the payables across several periods we can analyze how efficiently we are handling our payables.
Vertical (financial element to financial element) - A vertical analysis can be performed of either the income statement item or of the balance sheet item. In a vertical analysis. different figures in a financial statement are compared to a specific figure in the same accounting period. It is reported as a percentage.
i) Balance Sheet - Each figure in the balance sheet is compared to total assets or each figure is compared to total equity. So, each item can be represented as a percent of total equity or total assets. For instance, if total cash in the period is 1000 and total equity is 10000, the total cash as a percentage of total equity would be 10%. Therefore, each item in the balance sheet can be represented as a percentage of total assets or total equity.
ii) Income Statement - Vertical analysis of the income statement is done by comparing each item in the income statement with the total sales in the period. For example, if Net Income is $100 and Sales is $1000 then the Net Income as a percentage of Sales would be 10%. Thus, each item in the income statement could be represented as a percentage of Sales.
Trend (over a number of years) - The comparison of the components or ratios derived from the financial statements over a number of years is called trend analysis. Trend analysis is based on the theory that what has happened in the past is a good indicator of what might happen in the future. With the analysis of the magnitude and direction of the trend, we might be able to predict what we can expect to see in the immediate future and plan accordingly. …

Lazaro LZ3153 Wedding Dress
My wedding came and went and unfortunately it's time to say goodbye to my beautiful and stunning one of a kind dress. I truly felt like a princess in this dress the second I put it on and I hope I am able to make someone else feel as special as I did wearing it.
The dress is in excellent condition and has already been altered to my measurements therefore, you'd be saving a lot of money for alterations that would need to be made either way.
The dress is an ivory organza spiral wave bridal ball gown, sweetheart neckline, alencon lace bodice with embroidered overlay, platinum silk satin ribbon at natural waist, A-Line organza wave skirt, chapel train.

Off the Record: Maserati GranTurismo
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and from any beholder the Maserati GranTurismo is beautiful.
I'm glad this was my first experience in a modern Maserati, because at first look the Quattroporte -- sedan -- is not a beautiful car.
The guts of the GranTurismo -- GranCabrio in Europe -- have the Ferrari imprint, the parent company of Maserati. And I'm sure the Quattroporte is an equal descendant of that racing heritage, but take away the iconic Trident in the grille and the body style could be that of a Buick concept. Maybe it's the port holes. But I'm certain the four-door model has the same bespoke -- built to personal specifications by skilled artisans -- aura as the GranTurismo.
Of the exotics in this four-seat segment of high-luxury convertibles -- Aston Martin Vantage, Bentley Continental, Jaguar XK, BMW 650 -- the Maserati seems almost a value statement without any compromise to content.
The test car had a starting price of $139,700, which included the $2,100 gas-guzzler tax, $300 dealer prep and $1,500 freight charge. The price as tested was $141,790, which included $2,090, for front parking sensors, windstop and colored leather on the steering wheel, shift knob and shift boot.
Once a car surpasses the $100,000 point, there is no reality involved in the purchase decision.
The Bentley Continental GTC -- a turbocharged 12-cylinder -- starts $208,000 in the United States, which includes the gas-guzzler tax ($3,700) and freight charge, $2,595. And the list of "bespoke" accessories and features is long. Nobody buys a "base" Bentley. Consider the dark gray or light gray satin paint finish for $32,360. 20-inch diamond-chromed wheels are $6,080.
The Aston Martin Vantage V8, which is slightly smaller with tiny back-seat room, starts at $126,1000 but can end up costing as much or more than the GranTurismo.
And the Audi R8 5.2 Spyder -- a V-10 two-seater -- starts at about $172,000 with the Rtronic transmission. It is also a gorgeous and delightfully evil car to drive, but it does not have the bespoke luxury of the Maserati. And that would be my only "observation" -- not a criticism -- of the perfect R8.
I've driven Astons and Bentleys, and in general, there is much hype to the image and prestige and less delivery on technology and daily drivability. Aston Martin makes much theater about the crystal-like key fob and its insertion to the port. It feels nice in the hand, but it's a hunk of weight in the pocket. It seems silly drama to have to insert the jewelry like key and then have to push a start button. Give me the key-turn-go system, as in the Maserati. And even then I expected an intelligent key that automatically unlocks doors and then all I have to do is punch the start button and grab a gear.
At first drive, the experience was powerful but undemonstrative. Until I found the Sport mode and my fondness for the car began to grow. Sport sharpens the usual performance electronics but also opens a flap in the muffler that welcomes Satan along for the ride -- and adds 8 horsepower or so.
This polite car jumps from polite performance to complete mayhem of sound. There were times in the RPM range that I could just imagine the Maseratis of old stampeding along the Mulsanne Straight at Le Mans.
That adds meaning to the purchase.
2011 Maserati GranTurismo convertible
Body style: four-passenger, rear-wheel-drive, soft-top convertible with pop-up rollover protection
Engine: 4.7-liter DOHC V-8
Horsepower: 433 at 7,000 rpm
Torque: 361 foot-pounds at 4,750 rpm

Is there anything I can do to speed up the creation of the HP Smart Array logical drives?
Does creating too many drives at the same time affect the overall performance?
Is there anything I can do to speed up the creation of the HP Smart Array logical drives?
Does creating too many drives at the same time affect the overall performance?
The most effective way to speed up array creation (all other things being equal, and assuming you're not trying to initialize so many arrays that you're saturating the controller's bandwidth) is to install faster disks.
Re: creating too many drives hurting performance - Definitely possible, but I'm not sure what the point of diminishing returns here would be (it's at whatever point the disk bandwidth is saturated, or the controller is "overworked" and letting drives sit idle for a few milliseconds between issuing commands -- perhaps an HP storage expert could be more specific...)
Remember that array initialization is normally a one-time event - If you can complete an array rebuild within a reasonable time and the overall performance of the system is acceptable when it goes into production it may not be such a terrible thing to have a slow process that only happens once in the life of a system...
I wouldn't be using a P411 for this, I'd be using a P812.
I have a LOT of MSA70's and although my usage is different from yours and the 411 supports that many logical disks doesn't mean it's the best kit for the job. I use the 812's simply because they handle so much more concurrent workload - whether that's creating multiple logical disks at once or, more importantly for me, handling thousands of concurrent requests I'd go with the 812 every time.
As for your questions? No there's nothing you can do to speed it up once it's got going and yes creating multiple simultaneously will be slower than doing them sequentially.
Maybe I'm off-base here, but I'm not sure which type of MSA unit this is. But if these arrays are to belong to a single server, would it make sense to create an array consisting of a large number of disks, then create smaller logical drives of the RAID-level and size required, leveraging the Smart Array's unique capability of mixing and matching RAID levels within a given array?
Edit - Also, do you have an option for RAID 1+0? Wouldn't the creation time be faster and the resulting arrays be more performant?
e.g. here's the output of a 6-disk array containing multiple logical drives.

Well done. Driver was timely for the pickup and very courteous. Easy trip to the airport.
Eben F USA
Excellent service, on time, courteous.
I was very satisfied with this service. The driver was there on time!
Timely, professional and friendly service. The only way to travel in a busy environment.
Excellent service! The driver waited at my hotel for me and then brought me promptly to the airport. Had I been more awake and not in a rush to catch my flight, I would have remembered to tip him. He really did an outstanding job above the norm.
Our driver was there 5 minutes after we met the Tour coordinator.
The driver was on time. The van was great!
Very Professional. Arrived on time. I was worried due to the pick up time being 3:30 in the morning so that we could catch a flight back home to the states at 6:30am. Everything was fine!
Excellent Service . The driver was on time and very courteuos
Excellent bang on time
The transfer was flawless, our driver was on time and a happy courteous person. Would use Viator if need arise.
This was our third experience in 2 weeks with Viator and all trips were flawless. I will use Viator whenever we need service in the future.
On time, clean vehicle..all as promised.
Perfect. We were met at IST and escorted outside where a Mercedes Benz bus whisked us to The Four Seasons in comfort. Very nice greeter and driver. Could not be happier
Matt the one who met us at the was really nice and jolly.
He started our trip memorable
Comfortable and on time
Driver came a little early but had no problems. Not too much English but worked
Great transfer company. They were on time and very professional. Makes getting to your destination a lot easier by prebooking!
Excellent service, I booked for a 10:30 pick up, the driver arrived at 10am. Very good value and swift transfer to the airport, would definitely recommend this service.
On time and very convenient.
The Return on time Excellent very Professional and reliable .
I had all my Viator papers with me -- but in a pouch I forgot -- had to scramble to get local
telephone -- and confirm our reservation. Having that done, our driver arrived early for
hotel departure to airport -- good size bus more than enough for 9 passengers -- and deposited
us at airport in good time. Very, very good service!!
On time. Very professional and on time. Communications were all on time. Excellent choice!!!!
The pick up was exactly on time and got us to the airport in plenty of time. Once there, we were not just dropped off as the driver ensured we were taken to the correct check-in desk. Would definitely recommend this service.

Alienated Souls? God grief man, who isn't alienated at some point. (Although, perhaps we can be from our own souls, yes). This Marc Jacobs surely has a knack for beauty when he sees it thats for sure.
