Granite Properties acquires, develops, leases, and manages prime commercial properties in Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, and Houston. The company needed more effective information management practices to free employees' time and improve business visibility. After examining several customer relationship management options, Granite Properties chose to implement Real Estate Advantage, which is targeted at the commercial real-estate industry and based on Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Working with Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Ascendix Technologies, Granite Properties rolled out the solution to its investment group and is working on tailored deployments for its leasing and operations groups. Employees enjoy the way the solution works with Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, provides real-time data through Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, and eliminates duplicate data entry and time-consuming tasks.
Established in 1991, Granite Properties owns and manages a portfolio of office, retail, and industrial space in Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, and Houston totaling more than 10.5 million square feet. As an owner-operator, Granite Properties's activities revolve around the acquisition, development, leasing, and management of its assets.
The company's investments group seeks out opportunities for development and acquisition and has made over U.S.$2.6 billion in property investments since the company's inception. The construction group supervises build-to-suit and finishing of spaces, and the leasing group works with peers in the industry to find tenants for those spaces. In recent years, Granite Properties has closed more than 250 lease transactions, ranging from 1,000-square-feet leases to deals involving upwards of 200,000 square feet. In addition, the company's operations group manages the properties and oversees accounting, risk management, and technology.
As the firm grew in geography and assets, Granite Properties needed to systematize how employees managed information about buildings and leases. "Information management was an acute problem in our investments team, which is comprised of about 12 people who identify and acquire new properties," explains Craig Scullin, Manager of Information Systems at Granite Properties. "People used their email accounts as digital filing cabinets, and some recorded critical information in paper documents. This made pulling together comprehensive reports a difficult and time-consuming process."
Managers tracked key indicators of business performance by collecting information in Microsoft Office Excel 2007 spreadsheets, such as turnover rates and the ability to close investment deals. However, this process was susceptible to error and employees could not easily determine if data in the spreadsheets was up-to-date. And, because of the decentralized nature of the process, managers could not easily do a side-by-side comparison of data coming from different cities.
"We couldn't get an all-up summary of these reports based in Office Excel 2007, and one report didn't update another, which meant a lot of duplicate work for our team members," explains Scullin. "Our company management considered implementing a customer relationship management system, but was skeptical that popular offerings could adequately meet our requirements without significant customization."
The investments department worked closely with the IT group to find an appropriate customer relationship management solution that would meet the company's business and technology needs. Specifically, Granite Properties was looking for a solution that met the following criteria:
A shallow learning curve. "Many of our brokers are nontechnical folks who are very comfortable with Microsoft Office Outlook 2007," says Scullin. "We needed to win support among employees, so we sought a solution that would work well with Office Outlook 2007 and offer clear benefits for people who use it."
An open architecture. Granite Properties sought a solution that could integrate with its JD Edwards financial management software. "We wanted to make information from JD Edwards available directly in the customer relationship management solution," says Scullin. "Our employees often need information on leases from the JD Edwards system but are not confident navigating it."
A single version of the truth. Granite Properties wanted to use the customer relationship management solution to standardize how it defined terms like "occupancy" across the company.
A solution based on Microsoft SQL Server. The company wanted to take advantage of Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services. "Our technology vision involves using SQL Server Reporting Services as a business intelligence platform for the company," explains Scullin. "We didn't want to have to write the same report in different systems."
The IT group at Granite Properties considered several customer relationship management offerings from Microsoft, Oracle, Siebel, Netage Solutions, and other vendors. Early on, the group decided against the offering from Oracle (Siebel CRM) because of the lack of real-estate-specific functionality. While investigating Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Granite Properties found out about Real Estate Advantage, which is based on Microsoft Dynamics CRM and adds functionality specific to the commercial real-estate industry. Ascendix Technologies, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, created and sells the Real Estate Advantage solution.
"Ascendix Technologies has done due diligence in talking to companies and developing the features that you'd expect to see in a customer relationship management solution for the commercial real-estate industry," says Scullin. "Real Estate Advantage fit our needs better than any other product we looked at."
Granite Properties worked with Ascendix Technologies to implement the new solution, but spent a considerable effort beforehand documenting business processes and user needs. "We took advantage of the customer relationship management project to map out our process flows and standardize our business based on what we decided were best practices," says Scullin.
Granite Properties decided to first deploy Real Estate Advantage for its investments group because that was the area with the most immediate need. Including the time spent working on business processes, Granite Properties was able to implement the solution in seven months. The company took advantage of the multitenant architecture of Microsoft Dynamics CRM to create a distinct application for its investments group and plans to do the same for its leasing, development, and operations groups. This approach provides a tailored experience for individual roles that helps improve user acceptance and productivity.
With Real Estate Advantage rolled out to 12 users on its investments team, Granite Properties is working on additional deployments for the company's leasing group, which will cover an additional 10 users, and development and operations groups, which will include up to 40 additional users. The overarching theme for these deployments is managing information about tenants, brokers, and properties on a companywide basis.
"Each application will help individuals and teams work more efficiently," says Scullin. "But, the larger benefit will be visibility across the company. People will be able to see the progress of development projects and what the discussions during the leasing phase were like for a particular tenant. Visibility across all our operations will help us serve tenants better."
Currently, Granite Properties is preparing Real Estate Advantage for deployment in its leasing group by gathering contacts that employees have stored in Office Outlook 2007 and their mobile devices. "We're putting all the information and functionality that our leasing agents need into the application," says Scullin. "For example, we're integrating the solution with our JD Edwards application so that brokers don't need to log on to that system to work on a contract. Instead, they will have everything they need in a single tool."
Looking ahead, Granite Properties plans to use the Action Plans feature in Real Estate Advantage to automate workflow processes, such as lease approvals. "The idea with Action Plans is that when employees initiate a lease agreement, the system will automatically assign tasks with deadlines and update the dashboard on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007," says Scullin.
Granite Properties uses Office SharePoint Server 2007 to distribute reports and real-time business intelligence that is pulled from the Real Estate Advantage solution and the JD Edwards financial management software. The company set up a variety of real-time reports in SQL Server Reporting Services that automatically pull together information that previously took several days to collect.
The investments team at Granite Properties enjoys the integration of Bing Maps in Real Estate Advantage, which lets team members easily investigate potential investment properties in other cities. From within the application, they can view properties from various aspects, such as hybrid, bird's eye, and street-level views, and layers of data on the map, such as nearby banks and schools.
In Real Estate Advantage, Granite Properties found a customer relationship management solution aimed at the commercial real-estate industry that is easy to learn and use, supports the use of standardized best practices, and fits with the company's existing IT infrastructure. "Implementing and using Real Estate Advantage has been a bit like using a TV remote for the first time," says Scullin. "When you start using it, you wonder how you ever lived without it. This customer relationship management project was absolutely critical for our company and will help us capture future opportunities."
Information flows unimpeded throughout Granite Properties so that employees have an up-to-date view of activities in another group. The company takes advantage of Office SharePoint Server 2007 and SQL Server Reporting Services to provide real-time reporting and business intelligence to people so that they can make better-informed decisions.
"Critical information is no longer obscured. If we have the same client in different cities, we know about it and can negotiate the best deal possible," says Scullin.
Because data is entered into the system only once and stored in a single location, Granite Properties can more easily maintain a single version of the truth. As Scullin notes, "We no longer need to remember to update our spreadsheets or remember where a particular set of information is stored. Everyone across teams and geographies is looking at the same data."
Granite Properties appreciates that Real Estate Advantage works well with Office Outlook 2007, which many employees at the company rely on to complete work every day. "When we were still in the exploratory stage, what impressed our team members the most about Real Estate Advantage was how it worked just like Office Outlook 2007," says Scullin. "And, after we implemented the solution, people intuitively understood how to navigate and use the solution, so the learning curve was low and adoption was good."
Because of the technical flexibility of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, the IT team at Granite Properties was able to quickly adjust the user interface in response to requests, which also helped increase acceptance among employees. Employees in the investments group also appreciate the integration of Bing Maps directly in the user interface, which enables them to check out properties before physically visiting the sites. "Bing Maps brought a lot of 'Oohs' and 'Aahs' from our employees," says Scullin.
Real Estate Advantage gives employees at Granite Properties powerful new tools to help them increase productivity. For example, the investments group used to spend two days each month pulling together Office Excel 2007–based reports. Now, employees can generate these reports on demand in just seconds.
Once or twice each year, the investments group would research market data and other data sources to create larger reports. Says Scullin, "Although these jobs still require some investigation, employees can draw 90 percent of the information directly from SQL Server Reporting Services, which makes the process much faster."
On a day-to-day basis, employees use Real Estate Advantage to retrieve information that they previously might have asked other people to collect for them. "The solution is changing the way we do things, and it's all for the better," says Scullin. "It's helping us do our jobs more efficiently and effectively."

North Stonington - Asa Palmer came upon an upsetting sight Saturday morning in a field of his family's dairy farm.
Angel, his nearly year-old Ayrshire heifer, had her jaw shot off sometime late Friday or early Saturday. When Palmer found her, her tongue was so swollen that she couldn't swallow. By the time she was put down Monday, the red-and-white calf hadn't eaten or had any water since Friday.
"I would rather they had shot it dead," said Palmer, 18. "It was horrible to see her like that, it was awful."
David Abely, a North Stonington resident state trooper, said Wednesday that arrest warrants are in the works for the suspects in the shooting. The suspects also wounded a second cow standing in the Palmers' field on Pendleton Hill Road. The second cow, a Holstein, was hit in the ear, and the bullet lodged near its spine, Palmer said.
"There's gonna be a bullet in the back of that cow for life," Palmer said. "They can't get it out; the vet says it would do more harm than good."
Charges will include cruelty to animals, Abely said.
Palmer said three "kids known for causing trouble in town" are the prime suspects. They apparently used a rifle to shoot from the road at a group of 12 cows in the field, he said. Neighbors reported two gunshots, a pause, and then three more, Palmer said, sometime in the early morning hours Saturday.
"I wish I could tell you why they did it," said Palmer, a senior at Wheeler High School. "I've never done anything to whoever did it, and neither did Angel."
Palmer's father and uncle own Palmer Farm, a North Stonington dairy farm that has about 500 head of cattle, Palmer said. He owns five, now four after Angel's death. The cost for the animal alone, Palmer said, is about $800 to $1,000. If Angel had lived, she would have produced milk and calves, he said, generating income that is now lost.
"It's a lot," he said.
In response to the incident, state Rep. Diana Urban, D-North Stonington, announced Wednesday the creation of "The Angel Fund" to raise money for Palmer. Urban said in a news release that she was "sickened and angered" by the shooting, The fund will be set up at Chelsea Groton Bank.
"Asa Palmer is the future of farming in our state," Urban said. "We need to reach out to Asa and his family at this time. This is an opportunity for North Stonington to show our true colors and let Asa know how much we care. I know how hard Asa works and I know how saddened he is by this senseless destructive act. I will be the first person making a donation to help him put his herd back together."
Palmer said he works 25 to 30 hours a week during the school year at the family farm. During the summer, that number reaches 50 or 60 hours, he said. After graduating this June, Palmer said he plans to go to college and major in dairy management. He'll come back to North Stonington to dedicate himself in the family business.
The first order of business, he said, is having those responsible brought to justice for the senseless act.
"There has to be a special place in hell for people like that," Palmer said of the shooting. "They have to just be degenerates."

SAO PAULO (AP) — Ronaldo's career with Brazil's national team has come to an emotional end.
The striker made a brief appearance in an friendly against Romania on Tuesday to recognize his contribution to the 'Selecao'.
Ronaldo entered the match in the 30th minute and played until halftime, when he was honored in a ceremony.
The 34-year-old retired in February after an 18-year career. The three-time FIFA Player of the Year represented Brazil in four World Cups — winning two of them — and remains the competition's all-time leading scorer with 15 goals.

Ashley Greene in J Brand
One of my new favourite celebs to blog about is Ashley Greene! I think she looks great in pretty much everything she wears! The Twlight star was seen shopping at Ralphs in Santa Monica in Los Angeles, California a couple of days ago. She was wearing one of her favourite brands, J Brand! She opted for the 910 skinny jeans in Phoebe with a pair of knee high boots, a simple t-shirt and Ray bans.
Ashley must be boiling hot in those boots though! I think it's much too hot to wear such big boots in the middle of Summer. Her hair looks as beautiful as ever! I would love to see Ashley in the Houlihan cargo pants! She would rock those! Buy these jeans at Intermix for $198.

Topshop Behind The Scenes Autumn/Winter 2010
Here is a video from behind the scenes at the Topshop Autumn/Winter 2010 Look Book photo shoot. I always love behind the scenes videos so much! They really give you an insight as to what it's like for the models, the stylists, the make up artists etc, it's fun!
I've been on a photo shoot set before when I did my ASOS magazine shoot and it is a lot to do! There are so many people involved, so many props, big clothing rails and it gets boiling under the lights! I have a lot of respect for the models that do it all the time as it's very tiring and repetitive and they make it look so easy!
Black Orchid Photo Shoot!
I wanted to share with you lovely readers and DenimBlog fans, the new photo shoot from Black Orchid. They have gone with the black and white, glamorous, retro feel for their photos, I think these pictures have turned out great! I especially love the first one! The model looks great in those studded shorts against the printed aboriginal art style background.
How many of you love Black Orchid jeans? I really like a lot of their washes they have but the fit for me, I can't get it to work for my body really, maybe I might have better luck with their shorts! You can buy Black Orchid jeans and shorts at Boutique To You.

(credit: Ryan Pierse/Getty Images) Penrith Panthers will be hoping to bounce back from Monday's disappointing defeat against Manly when they entertain an out-of-sorts Wests Tigers on Sunday.Watch NRL live online at bet365 > live streaming > rugby league and bet on NRL games at Luxbet The Panthers had an opportunity to strike hard at a weakened Manly last Monday night but their poor performance has raised plenty of doubts about their ability to compete with the leading clubs this season.Not only were the Sea Eagles missing forward strike weapons Glenn Stewart and Tony Williams but key backs Brett Stewart and Kieran Foran were also absent, leaving the premiers vulnerable to defeat.But the Panthers failed to rise to the occasion and slumped to a 30-0 loss. Penrith will confront an opposition that has performed way below expectations this season when they meet the Wests Tigers at Centrebet Stadium but it shapes as another difficult battle for Ivan Cleary's men.Despite falling to their fifth successive loss last weekend, the Tigers appear to be edging closer to a breakthrough victory. They looked rattled in the opening exchanges against Brisbane but their attitude to defence could not be faulted.The loss of lock Chris Heighington with a broken hand will hit hard but if their attacking game can find some rhythm then they may finally take a step in the right direction.Look for Wests Tigers to score a try as First Scoring Play and consider a Tigers win by 1-12 points.Best chances for First Tryscorer are Etu Uaisele, Lachlan Coote or Michael Jennings for Penrith or Beau Ryan, Chris Lawrence or Lote Tuqiri for Wests Tigers.Watch live NRL by following these simple steps:Go to Bet365 Sign-in & select Bet365 > live streaming > rugby leagueWatch the NRL Live

Review quote
"Everything is very well explained and illustrated--a good introduction to indigo." --"International Journal of the Guild of Silk Painters" It is good to see a reprint of this 2003 book, though some new projects would have been welcome. The book is comprehensive, showing the effects that can be achieved using indigo dye. The book covers dyeing and effects such as those achieved by tying in the shibori method. Good photographs show step by step instructions.-Yarnsandfabrics.co.uk/crafts The art of indigo dyeing dates back thousands of years; examples were found in the tombs of the ancient Egyptians and there are references to its use in the Bible. The practice of dyeing with Indigo, with is a dye derived from the plant of the same name, is an incredibly rich cultural tradition with each region of the world having its own unique methods and beliefs. Vivien shares her expertise as a dyer and also her mastery of shibori fabric resist techniques, showing the reader how a huge variety of wonderful effects can be produced by folding, stitching, binding and clamping fabric before dyeing. As the better weather approaches, this is certainly an interesting technique to try, just combine with a group of like-minded friends, a good lunch and the rest of the day will be full of surprises. Happy dyeing!-Fabrications This book is a very comprehensive guide to all the different types of Indigo Dyeing that can be done. From reading the book, you quickly understand that it is not something that you could undertake in an afternoon with pots and pans lying around in the cupboard; in fact, the most effective method that Vivien Prideaux has found involves a big plastic container and 20 litres of water. There is also a fair amount of serious chemical involvement, and plenty of protective clothing. It struck me that you would need to be fairly committed to undertaking this type of dyeing and be willing to use the right equipment even before you get started. Having said that, the book itself is a very full and informative guide. The history of the process, the different fibres and indigo dyes are all explained fully, and it is a very easy read. The instructions for dyeing (there are 3 different dye VATS to choose from) are set out with lots of photographs and instructions of how to prepare your fabric, and there are plenty of wonderful pictures of finished cloth, which would even tempt me despite knowing how much work it is to get there. There are even a couple of projects (ie cushion, tea cosy, scarf) to get you using your new collection of fabulous fabric. I think it would be a suitable book for those who are familiar (or have dabbled with) the process before and want to move to the next level.-catchacrumpsey.blogspot.co.uk Vivien Prideaux's book on working with indigo is a comprehensive resource for anyone interested in using the famous blue pigment. Prideaux walks the reader through every step of the process - including descriptions of shibori techniques that can be used when preparing the fabric. Her instructions are clear, with plenty of photographs. Instructions for several simple projects are also included.-Handwoven This is a reprint of the author's 2003 Handbook, updated as a result of research and travel in India, and mentioning Michel Garcia's eco recipes and recent DVD. The colour and lay-out of this slim volume are attractive with large step- by-step photographs. Following the briefest history of indigo and woad, there are three inter-related sections. The first describes a variety of resist techniques mainly belonging to Japanese shibori: pleating, folding, stitching, binding, clamping and paste resist. All apply to fabric dyeing with a single paragraph only on yarns and no mention of ikat, despite a magnificent image of a Japanese ikat kimono. The second section deals with vat preparation and dyeing, each step illustrated by detailed photographs in numbered sequence. The zinc metal dust and lime vat is the one favoured by the author and recommended for its flexibility and reliability over time. The differences between protein and cellulose fibres in indigo dyeing are carefully stressed. The third section suggests some projects: a tea cosy, a cushion, a couple of simple jackets. The detailed instructions are intended to be followed to the letter to replicate the models given, rather than be inspirational. While novice dyers may be reassured by such prescriptive instructions throughout, other readers may find the picture book approach simplistic. In sharing her long experience with authority and confidence, the author passes on some valuable tips, such as the necessity of using twice as much natural indigo as synthetic for the same colour. But one may think that she has also reduced indigo dyeing's complexity and mystery.-Journal for Weavers Spinners & Dyersshow more

10 Ways to Feed Your Company Blog
Posted on Tuesday, May 25th, 2010 by Alec Green Print This Post
Categories - Featured, Social Media
Yesterday was the one-year anniversary of The Search Agents. Since day one, I've served as the publisher of this blog. And by "publisher," I mean "the guy who has to get a lot of buy cialis 10mg good content on the blog without having to write all of it himself."
Early on, I compared the experience of starting a blog to a family bringing home a new puppy. The first few days, everyone wants to play with the puppy and trips over each other to feed it and take it out on walks. After a few months, the kids get a new video game, the parents want to go on vacation, but the dog still needs to eat. Every day, twice a day.
I didn't want The Search Agents to become an old, tired dog. The kind of dog that looked like it hadn't been walked in weeks and smelled like it hadn't been given a bath in months. The member of our family that no one talked about and everyone secretly hoped would just be taken to a big farm in the country.
Just like your dog needs to be fed, your blog needs new posts. Ideally, each and every blog post will be insightful and of high quality. But your blog can survive on the occasional table scraps and expired ground beef. You don't need to feed your blog two times a day, but you do need to author enough content to keep your audience engaged and build your following.
If you're thinking about starting a blog of your own, here are 10 lessons I've learned to keep The Search Agents well fed and feeling young at heart:
- It takes a village. Take advantage of the fact that you have a company blog by getting everyone in the company to contribute. If they work at your company, whatever their role, they can offer a unique perspective on something that somehow ties back to your business and customers. Have them share it and don't accept excuses for why they can't write a post. And the best way to do this is to…
- Make it easy.
- Buy a recording device. For some, writing in any form beyond instant message, texts, or tweets is a PITA. They have great ideas which they have no problem articulating in a presentation, client meeting, or over lunch. Let them speak, use some speech-to-text translation service, and edit away. In most cases, it means you'll end up having to…
- Ghostwrite (but not completely). Every organization has their pundits or thought leaders. And almost none of them have "pundit" as their job title. They already have a day job and it consumes a lot of their time. Asking them to write a blog post from scratch works some of the time, but not when they are busy. Get them to share the main points with you, write it up in their voice, send it to them for review, and publish. Maybe you'll find the topic could benefit from additional perspectives. In this case, you should definitely…
- Crowdsource. Whenever there's a big news story, we all think it would be great to get our POV up on the blog, but no one has the time to actually write a POV for the blog. When there is a big industry development, you can either try to write the post yourself (hard) or send an e-mail out to 10 or 15 really smart people in the company, and ask them to give their quick reaction. Write a short intro summarizing the industry development with a few links to more in-depth stories from mainstream publications, add in the commentary from your assembled panel of esteemed experts, and voila, another blog post. You can see some examples of our crowdsourcing work when Microsoft and Yahoo! announced their search alliance. Before you start soliciting expert opinions, you may find the crowdsourcing has already happened, and all you need to do is….
- Eavesdrop over e-mail. Our company is not large, but we have a number of internal e-mail distribution lists. I'm sure we're not unusual in that regard. And individuals will often send out interesting articles or research that is relevant to a narrow group of likeminded colleagues. SEM editors will send out articles from the AdWords blog. SEO account managers will send out interviews with Matt Cutts. Without fail, these will lead to a long back-and-forth between the members of these distribution lists. Usually the kind of stuff only an SEM editor or SEO account manager would care about. Team members will comment, talk about the author being way off base, or discuss how we can apply this to a unique client situation. These e-mails usually conclude with the now tired, "my 2c". Well, isn't that what a blog is supposed to be? A bunch of people providing their "2c" on a timely and relevant topic. Many times, I've been able to ctrl-c these e-mails, ctrl-v them into WordPress, edit just a bit, ask the original sender to serve as the author, and voila! another blog post. Need another way to improve the quality and quantity of posts? Look outside your walls and…
- Invite guest authors to contribute. Ideally, these guests should be tied to your business – either as consultants, customers, board members, or industry colleagues. The guest author will benefit from some additional exposure and your blog will benefit from a broader perspective. Just make sure they don't publish the same post on their own blog to avoid any issues of duplicate content. And have them stick to a topic that makes sense in the context of your blog. One easy way to do this is to have them…
- Write about important industry developments. The corporate blog shouldn't be a publication about corporate news. We never re-hash our press releases or give a recap of last night's happy hour or corporate retreat. We have other owned assets to publish that information. Treat the blog like a semi-serious, semi-independent publication. But recognize that there are a whole bunch of other publications writing about the "big" news of the day. Find something that's getting a bit less coverage, but is of great interest to your unique market segment, and write the definitive story on it. But…
- Don't treat your blog like the New York Times. Set the content free. Let your authors write about whatever interests them, as long as it can somehow be connected to your business, customers, or market segment. Try hard not to "turn down" any stories and treat your blog like a germination zone of new ideas. Some will be earth shattering; some will…have great opportunity for improvement. In either case, the blog is a great platform to organize and develop anyone's thoughts on a topic. An average blog post could generate a really interesting discussion in the comments. For most bloggers, you just need to get them to overcome their "blogger's block" and contribute something. And one of the best ways to do this is to…
- Get senior management support. If you're always going around asking your colleagues to write for the blog, you will get a bunch of valid excuses and promises to "write something next month." If your company President and department heads are actively "encouraging" their team members to blog, you'll get plenty more contributions. Plus your co-workers won't think you're being a pest.
Just like a family has one or two people that do the majority of feeding and walking of the dog, you'll likely find a small group of contributors that do the majority of writing for you blog. Make sure you thank these "power" authors and acknowledge their efforts. At the same time, always recruit new talent, so your readers benefit from a variety of voices and your core contributors don't get burned out.
What other techniques have you used to keep your blog feeling fit and looking fresh?

They need to do more solid colors or some original colorways. I mean these are grown people making these shoes right?
October 18, 2013 BY Brendan Dunne / 13
Foamposites keep getting crazier and crazier. On the way is this Nike Air Foamposite Pro, a sneaker that switches between red, black, and blue horizontally across the upper. We've got a feeling that longtime Foam-fans might have appreciated the retro return of some of the model's more heralded singly colored iterations of old, but it looks like now is not the time for that. Continue reading for a more complete look at the upcoming Nike Air Foamposite Pro "Spider-Man" and give us your reactions to the pair down in the comments. As always, keep it locked on Sneaker News to find out when they'll be in stores.

They need to do more solid colors or some original colorways. I mean these are grown people making these shoes right?
How bout some wolverines nike??????
Gay turds!
Why the hate. These are fire. Let's be honest
Can someone tell me what the hell nike has been thinking with these recent foam colorways
Not that nice. Would've made more sense to release a Superman one as it was his birthday this week...

More like spider girl's for the sad hype beast's out there liking any type of foamposite nike pulls out their ass...
Looks like they took da royal pros, red pros & Blk out pros, put them together & dis came out lol.... Not bad but I don't see da spiderman reference. Mayb da insoles have sum shit on there. But these ain't too special
MAN HOL UP!....these are nice im tired of the suns moons military space graphics they put on foams would be dope if they had a marvel logo on these fa sho
Yeahh, these do look like they should be a custom. I like them, but at the same time I don't. Either way, foams are a little too hyped imo these'll probably sell out w/ a 250 price tag and they're not even a 200 dollar shoe
looks like a bad custom

.- This Saturday, Benedict XVI will appoint Archbishop Daniel N. DiNardo as the United States' first Catholic cardinal from the South, in St. Peter's Square. With his appointment, DiNardo plans to continue serving the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, while focusing on Catholic education in the US.
In addition, the cardinal-designate will assume the responsibility of advising the Holy Father on issues pertaining to Texas and the United States. DiNardo will also be one of the cardinals younger than 80 years-old who will one day elect the next pope.
The current archbishop told the AP that on broad issues, he expects that Houston's diverse religious and ethnic landscape would draw him into more inter-religious dialogue and issues of immigration.
"We put in our statements that a country needs to protect its borders," DiNardo said, "but the overly punitive way in which the issue of immigration reform is being handled today is just unworkable."
The 58 year-old cardinal designate describes himself as a traditionalist and fully in line with the doctrinal teachings of the church, emphasizing abortion, euthanasia and stem cell research. He emphasized that he would "be not only down the line but absolutely convinced of it."
DiNardo was ordained a priest in his hometown of Pittsburgh and spent six years working at the Vatican in the Congregation for Bishops. In 1997 he was named bishop of Sioux City, Iowa and in 2004 he was appointed archbishop of Galveston-Houston by Pope John Paul II.

Louisville fell short of a national seed thanks to a poor showing in the Big East tournament, but look for Dan McDonnell's club to be ready to roll this weekend. The first thing that stands out about the Cardinals is their quality pitching with starting pitchers Chad Green and Jeff Thompson leading the charge. Green isn't quite the prospect of other pitchers on this staff, but he's still very good and has a 2.09 ERA in 90 1/3 innings. Meanwhile, imposing right-handed pitcher Jeff Thompson has good stuff with a 90-93 fastball and 80-82 slider, along with a 2.09 ERA in 90 1/3 innings and 97 strikeouts. Also keep an eye on other talented arms such as Dace Kime and Kyle Funkhouser, while in the bullpen, Cody Ege and Nick Burdi are as good as it gets. Burdi has really improved his command this season and has an 0.88 ERA and 14 saves in 30 2/3 innings of work. Burdi also can get up to 101 on the radar gun, along with a power slider. Ege has appeared in 32 games and has a 1.32 ERA in 27 1/3 innings. Offensively, the Cardinals are solid with a .293 average entering the weekend. Ty Young is a consistent hitter with a .357 average, seven triples, four homers and 55 RBIs, while CoCo Johnson (.324/6/44), Sutton Whiting (.320/1/28) and Nick Ratajczak (.283/2/28) are exciting athletes to watch.
Miami (Fla.)
The key for Miami to take a step forward this weekend is pretty simple: The offensive lineup must be infinitely better. Though the Hurricanes have been very solid on the mound throughout the spring, the offense has failed to live up to expectations with a dismal .260 batting average. Chantz Mack leads the offense with a .297 average and 27 RBIs, while the 'Canes have relied on physical freshman David Thompson to produce at a high level. He's hitting .285 with 14 doubles, six homers and 43 RBIs, while Brad Fieger is hitting .287 with 32 RBIs. In terms of the running game, keep an eye on Mack, who has 14 stolen bases this spring. From a pitching standpoint, you can't say enough about the job left-handed pitcher Bryan Radziewski has done this season. Radziewski has been terrific this spring with a 1.49 ERA in 84 2/3 innings, along with 101 strikeouts and 29 walks, while Javi Salas has a big-time arm with a low-to-mid 90s fastball and 3.10 ERA in 69 2/3 innings of work. Chris Diaz and Andrew Suarez two other quality arms to watch, as both have earned-run averages below 3.80. In the bullpen, right-hander Eric Whaley has a good changeup and a 4.54 ERA in 35 2/3 innings, while Eric Nedeljkovic is a consistent arm with a 1.37 ERA and 13 saves in 26 1/3 innings. Miami has the talent to make things interesting, but again, its offense must rise the occasion.
Oklahoma State
Quick turnarounds aren't always possible in the Big 12 Conference, but don't tell that to first-year head coach Josh Holliday, who's working some magic with the Cowboys in his first campaign. The Pokes have had an impressive season and have a solid weekend rotation with right-handed hurler Jason Hursh leading the charge. Hursh is a big-time prospect with a 90-95 fastball, along with a good curveball and changeup, and slider. Meanwhile, Tyler Nurdin has quite quite the impressive campaign with a 1.83 ERA in 78 2/3 innings of work, while Mark Robinette has a 3.92 ERA in 64 1/3 innings of work. Also keep an eye on impressive relievers Vince Wheeland and Brendan McCurry. Wheeland has made 28 appearances and has a 2.09 ERA in 69 innings, while McCurry has eight saves and a 2.28 ERA in 43 1/3 innings. The Cowboys won't blow you away offensively, but Tanner Krietemeier is hitting .321 with four homers and 43 RBIs, Randy McCurry has good gap power with 20 doubles on the season, and Zach Fish, though he's hitting just .284, has seven homers and 41 RBIs. An NCAA Super Regional appearance by the Cowboys would truly be a magical moment.
Bowling Green
The Falcons hold the distinction as the only sub .500 team in the NCAA postseason, and hope to prove their worth in the Louisville Regional. The Falcons aren't a great hitting team, entering the weekend with a .277 batting average, but do have a couple of very good key cogs in Jeremy Shay and All-Conference catcher T.J. Losby. Shay is hitting .328 with five homers and 37 RBIs, while Losby is hitting .324 with six homers and 37 RBIs. Meanwhile, on the mound, reliever Nick Bruns shined in last week's MAC tournament and has appeared in 28 games with a 2.32 ERA in 50 1/3 innings, while right-hander Mike Frank starts the opener against the Cardinals. Frank has a 3.61 ERA in 97 1/3 innings, along with 77 strikeouts and 24 walks. I'd also keep an eye on starting pitcher Cody Apthorpe. Apthorpe has been a true workhorse the past few weeks and has a .3.50 ERA in 87 1/3 innings if work. Despite having some key cogs, it would be considered a success if the Falcons can escape the weekend with a victory.
This is a very interesting NCAA Regional for several reasons. On one hand, Louisville is the clear-cute favorite, but it didn't play very well at the Big East tournament. Then there's Miami, which is very talented, but also very erratic. Then there's Oklahoma State, who's good, but also has several players making their first postseason appearance this weekend. UL is the favorite, but don't be surprised if Miami or Oklahoma State makes this weekend a little interesting.

I love this idea, the Grass/Steel hybrids you described sound insanely cool. The only thing I do wonder is if that would really suit a primary Grass type...? There aren't
many physical Grass type moves bar Leaf Blade (which would be perfect for the Pokémon you described, but not much variety ;p) and I can't imagine them wanting to bring in a tonne more just for a starter Pokémon... I do think it's a great idea but I can't see it being overly practical for a Grass type to have this sort of character x3 However being completely hypocritical and going against what I just said; I'd love to see a Grass/Rock type with similar characteristics to those listed above, it could but utterly epic to train a partner like that :D A huge moss covered stone sword for it's arms with vines attaching them to it's body so it can swing them around and stuff... Ahh that would be so epic. B)

Edmond Exchange
Keeping history
City council members agreed this week to spend $10,000 on a time capsule that will be part of the $27.5 million public safety center complex now under construction.
Mayor Charles Lamb asked that the money be taken out of the council's contingency fund.
A committee is looking at what should go in the time capsule when the building is completed in September 2015.
Construction started Sept. 11 on the new home for police headquarters, the 911 communication center and emergency management operations.
The 70,000-square-foot center, being built at First Street and Littler Avenue, is at the point where people can see the shape of the building and the design of the entrance.
The walls of a second new building are going up on city-owned property that was once the James H. Harrod Vehicle Maintenance Facility, just west of 33rd Street and Broadway. Evidence and vehicle storage, along with the crime laboratory, will be located in the second building.
Voters on Oct. 11, 2011, approved a half-cent sales tax increase for five years for the two buildings, which are expected to meet the city's needs for 20 years.
Park contract
is increased
A contract to design Carl Reherman Park at Arcadia Lake has been increased by $30,000. The fee to be paid architect David W. Hornbeek is now $121,768.
"City officials expect that with the work completed, grants we hope to obtain and city funds from the Park Tax Fund, the development of this park will cost around $1.5 million," said Assistant City Manager Steve Commons.
A concept plan for Carl Reherman Park on the southern tip of Arcadia Lake has been approved.
"We are much further along with this project than four years ago and anticipate boat access in 2015," said Craig Dishman, the city's parks and recreation director. "Remaining amenities will take place in a phased approach in the following years."
Arcadia Lake is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers lake, but is operated by the city of Edmond. The park, at the end of 33rd Street just off Air Depot Boulevard, will be for day use only. Plans are to have a boat ramp, picnic pavilion, fishing dock, picnic spots, restrooms and parking. There also will be a pedestrian shoreline trail.
Carl Reherman Park will be the fifth park at Arcadia Lake, and the first added since the lake opened.
It's a fact
Some of Edmond's targeted industries include wholesale trade, light manufacturing, information and professional, scientific and technical services. Edmond is also home to a thriving health care industry that has created an economic impact of more than $200 million since 2010. Major health care providers include OU Medical Center Edmond, Integris Health Edmond and Mercy Edmond I-35. The largest employer is Edmond Public Schools, with more than 2,700 employees.
Where will the big sculpture go?
City council members can't figure out where to put an 18-foot bronze sculpture they agreed to buy for $50,000 and spend another $40,000 to move to Edmond from outside the Houston Astrodome.
The latest suggestion was to put the statue outside the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigations forensic laboratory on Second Street.
The problem — the city doesn't own the property, the state of Oklahoma does.
Craig Dishman, city parks and recreation director, said the placement of "Touch the Clouds," by the late artist Dave McGary, on state property would have to be approved by Gov. Mary Fallin.
"We need to choose the site quickly," Dishman said. "People in Houston are getting restless."
Mayor Charles Lamb remains in favor of his suggestion at King's Plaza, near the Edmond Library, so it would be near other large pieces of artwork like Kentucky Daisy at Festival Market Place and gold-medal winning gymnast Shannon Miller in Shannon Miller Park.
Councilwoman Victoria Caldwell said she would like the sculpture to be seen from State Highway 66.
What's next
Edmond Planning Commission will meet at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Need answers?
Reader Mickey McVay asked: Why don't cities paint or use white reflective tape on curbs at the ends of concrete dividers at the end of center islands separating traffic going in opposite directions?
City Engineer Steve Manek answered: We have striping around the median noses, typically yellow, which means do not cross. This is the standard and appropriate measure to be placed at median noses.

the clubs. This has led many to suspect that the arbitrators are not basing their decisions on the merits of the case but, rather, that they are randomly distributing victories between the two sides to avoid veto.
In fact, the nature of the arbitration game leads each side to submit a reasonable offer. Therefore, the more closely the opposing offers are to the arbitrators' preferred awards, the more it appears that the arbitrators are simply flipping coins.
Our results show that arbitrators do not flip coins, but rely on the facts of the cases when rendering decisions. Further, although negotiated settlements appear to be unbiased estimates of the preferred awards for pitchers, such does not appear to be the case for hitters.

Skip to comments.Labrador on ABC's This Week: 'Very Difficult to Work With Obama'
Posted on 10/13/2013 8:02:17 PM PDT by Tailgunner Joe
Idaho GOP Rep. Raul Labrador was back in front of the TV cameras this morning, this time appearing on ABC's This Week With George Stephanopoulos.
"We're four days away from reaching the debt ceiling. We gave the president an offer where we would extend the debt ceiling without any requirements ... and I don't see why the president is not accepting that or working with us," said Labrador. "I think it's been very difficult to work with [Obama]. He wouldn't even come to the table to negotiate."
And Labrador wasted no time to bring the debate surrounding the federal government shutdown and the deadline for hitting the nation's debt ceiling back to the Affordable Care Act.
"If you look at Obamacare, the president has given exemptions to friends and businesses," he said. "All we're asking is to give the same exception to the American people. I don't think that's too much to ask."
Minnesota Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison, sitting alongside Labrador, was having none of it.
"We can talk about all these things after we reopen the government and pay America's debts," said Ellison. "There are a number of things we could do, but we can't do them under the gun we're under right now."
"We just offered you a six-week extension," countered Labrador.
"Six weeks is no good," responded Ellison. "Do you want to do this again in six weeks? That's crazy."
The Community Organizer in Chief has staged a strike along with Harry Reid. Get back to work slackers!
Democrats want nothing between them and total power. With Obamacare, they will have a Trojan horse with which they can invade every home and control the actions of every person. They can also charge whatever they want. The Nazis had similar power in Germany.
Could be because when it comes to work, Obama is like Maynard G. Krebs:
I hope the Republicans in the House understand what is going on here. Obama is determined to use the shutdown to break the GOP. The only way that doesn't happen is if the Republicans in the House are able to hold their breath longer than Obama is.
If this group of Liberal Republicans (RINO's) can NOT convince these idiot Democrats of the fallacy of their ways on Obamacare then why should they care about the shutdown! These idiots actually think this is a good law! For goodness sakes, can they not look at the poles for this without blinking.
Actually, I have little hope for the Republicans - way too many folks like McCain and crowd still wanting to compromise, not really sure what that means except give in but such is the life of a Conservative. Won't see Master Reid giving in to anything! The real problem is the intransigence of the Democrats! I say, let things go to hell, it will probably be in the best interest of the country anyway.
I'm sure by now most liberals are finding out that Obama's not a very smart man. Obama is portrayed by the media as having the appearance and presentation of an academic or intellectual while being strangely clueless in his reading of political situations and dynamics. He's extremely partisan and shuts out anyone who disagrees with him. You begin to think he doesnt really listen or he doesnt really care. He has one solution for every problem...More Government. He is bad at negotiating....in fact he doesnt know how. His confidence is consistently greater than his acumen, his arrogance greater than his grasp. Negotiating with Obama is like playing chess with a pigeon. The pigeon knocks over all the pieces, craps on the board and then struts around like it won the game.
GOP needs to stop negotiating and stage a lock in of the White House, allow no business in or out, halt executive office due to lack of funding. Appoint Congressional budget office to pay troops and debt service, all other funding payments suspended until further notice. Cut off the money. Defund the White House, Obamacare, amnesty, all of it. We need a real shut down. No food stamps etc.
If Obama doesn't want to talk, it may be time to take this to the streets, so to speak.
I don't know if I like that idea, but I fully expect the GOP to cave and I won't vote for my congressman ever again and he portrays himself as conservative.
I will vote for conservatives in primaries and third party conservatives in general elections over business as usual Republican politicians who make emotional speeches that sound conservative by attacking Obama or Obamacare, then they go to Washington and cave into him.
Over 90 percent of current elected Republican officials need to be cleaned out at all levels.
Glenn Beck made a speech the other day saying the two parties are one. That is surely the truth.
I don't know everything that needs to be done about that, but I know that its an unacceptable situation.
LOL! Your analogy is right on target.
[Moslem] Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison [was regurgitating his party-line talking points] ..."We can talk about all these things after we reopen the government and pay America's debts,"
Thanks Tailgunner Joe.
The Hell with all the analogies and nice talk - just say it like it is. Obama is dishonest!
Idaho GOP Rep. Raul Labrador, a former Immigration Attorney, and a big supporter of Amnesty, is another GOP Collaborator pretending to be a conservative.
Take what he says with a grain of salt.
In the 1930s, the world got to learn the lessons of working with Adolf.
It's now learning the same lessons about working with Barack.
Too bad the retards running the world are incapable of learning anything, pious bleating of "never again" notwithstanding. This time, we should just kill them all.
Not negotiating is working rather well for Obama - every day he stays away the idiot Republicans sweeten the offer.
Negotiating with Obama is like playing chess with a pigeon. The pigeon knocks over all the pieces, craps on the board and then struts around like it won the game.
Great visualization.
Very accurate
It is the truth so why vote for either one? Really significant question I'd think.
I'd guess that he is an extrovert as to speaking to an audience but can't remember anything so he needs the teleprompter. Actually, I'd guess he is about maybe a 120 to 125 IQ with the ability to confuse and argue because of his Chicago political background. They all are either crooks or liberal mouths with much to do...
Of course he is not smart, that would take a much higher IQ than he has much less his education based on racial preference. Don't expect the media to ever out that...
The result is that we are saddled with a President of minimal IQ but has the backing of the Media because of his color and we have to suffer for years because of that - actually many years to come because of this fiasco. I actually blame the Media for all of these problems. May they feel the wrath of those that follow.
I don't think it's that high, as the range you cite is usually classified as superior. I'd say he's probably slightly higher than a dull normal. Just listen to him attempt to formulate a cogent thought - - he can't do it.
"Six weeks is no good," responded Ellison. "Do you want to do this again in six weeks? That's crazy."
Anyone who has ever negotiated anything should he hearing: "We are not negotiating anything, anytime, anywhere." The Dems are playing end game politics. The Levin theory seems to be coming into focus. They want Obama to raise the debt ceiling by EO. They want a crisis. This is their last play before Obamacare becomes reality and people realize what has been down to them. Republicans should sit and watch the implosion.
That gives me an idea. Dock the pay of Obama and Congress for the time since the "shutdown" started, and I expect they'll end it in a hurry! And if they still refuse to reopen the government, the pay cut will help to reduce the deficit.
"Negotiating with Obama is like playing chess with a pigeon. The pigeon knocks over all the pieces, craps on the board and then struts around like it won the game."
I hope you don't mind if I use that line, the next time I'm on Facebook, LOL.
