Mayor Ed Lee announces new Energy Data Collection Challenge as part of Innovation Month
News by Topic
ImproveSF – An Online Civic Problem-Solving Platform
As part of Innovation Month, San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee today welcomed business leaders, entrepreneurs, government agencies and academics from across the country to the Challenge America Summit, where he launched a new ImproveSF challenge.
The Challenge America Summit is an intimate gathering of innovation leaders exploring how competitions can create revolutionary advancements in technology, ignite social impact, and drive large-scale innovation. The program is a collaboration of innovation leaders from the City of San Francisco, NASA, Google, the Cleantech Open, PwC, Ashoka, and many others.
San Francisco's commercial, industrial, municipal and residential buildings contribute over 50% of the City's greenhouse gas emissions. Every month businesses and residents receive their energy bills containing important information about energy usage, yet there is no simple way to aggregate and translate this information that results in helping business and residents not only save money but increase comfort at the same time.
"Just as NASA continually searches for new and insightful ways to overcome obstacles in space exploration, here in San Francisco, we are looking for innovative ideas from our greatest resource – our people – to overcome City challenges," said Mayor Ed Lee. "The newest ImproveSF challenge highlights the importance of energy data in the City and will have positive, lasting effects on our energy usage studies to improve San Francisco."
"Data can help drive decisions. Identifying new ways to access and use energy consumption data is a key ingredient to unlocking the potential for more efficient and sustainable homes throughout the City," said Melanie Nutter, Director of the San Francisco Department of the Environment. "Through this challenge, innovative ideas are bound to emerge from the community that will enhance our efforts to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from buildings."
The ImproveSF winning idea will then go on to be part of the VergeSF Hack City challenge on November 9-10, a two-day hackathon bringing business innovators and entrepreneurs together with civic leaders to imagine the future potentials of energy, buildings, and transportation.
In addition to ImproveSF challenge, the Challenge America Summit features the Night Rover Challenge, launched as a partnership between NASA and the Clean Tech Open, which seeks creative solutions to develop innovative energy storage systems that would enable a lunar rover to operate continuously throughout the full lunar cycle--including 14 days of complete darkness.
"Prize competitions provide an exciting way for NASA to engage American ingenuity and reach more than the 'usual suspects' to develop new technologies," said Jenn Gustetic, Program Executive of NASA Prizes and Challenges. "Prizes enable an alternate way for anyone to work with NASA. NASA continues to lead Government efforts to increase cost-effectiveness and maximize the return on taxpayer dollars—and prizes do just that."
"I am happy to highlight the impact that competitions can have in the energy sector during the Challenge America Summit, from the highly technical Night Rover challenge to the very inclusive ImproveSF challenge," said Josh Neubert, Director of the Nightrover Challenge.
ImproveSF is an online platform launched by Mayor Lee in April, where citizens and government come together to inspire each other, brainstorm ideas, and solve civic challenges. It's a place where inclusion, collaboration, and optimism are the community's core strength. To learn more about ImproveSF and updates on future ImproveSF challenges, go to: improvesf.com.
Mayor Lee declared October as Innovation Month as both a celebration and a call to action to highlight the City's need to further embrace technology and catalyze greater job creation, community engagement, and government efficiency through innovation.

I did try a 300 Hz passive 2nd order crossover with the Antek and it worked well, no signs of core related distortion.
I redrew you crossover in Figure (A) Did I get it correct?
Can you tell me what ML model this is for?
All of the ML crossovers I have seen or worked on included an inductor across whole or part of the primary as shown in Figure (B) & (C) to provide a stable inductance for the high-pass crossover to work with. Sometimes there was a resistor in series with the inductor.
Does your crossover have such an inductor?
Thanks for sharing this ML info.

Thanks for your Art...Bolsterst
You have the SL3 crossover if not go to the MLC site you can get most All ML there.
With the crossover in the SL3 an the Ascent,Ascent i,thay put a induckter in,2.5mh in the center tap to the Neg input, in,the SL3 there is a 1ohm 20watt.
The Acent,i thay went to the just the induckter,2.5mh to ground.
In the Re-Qust, Odyssey, Proidgy thay went to the crossover input on the center tap.
As you know i have been working with all the logans i have had,from The Aerius, SL3,CLS, Ascent,i,Proidgy....two pr own some.
What I would like to know if you can tell me,if the induckter is ran to the neg input only then to the centap. it like i get more output, or is it just ezer for the amp too drive??.... With nothing on any of the center taps of the prmary side of the stepup Xfourmer thay sound Great ...but it takes more power to drive them.
But my lov of the sound of a 60watt tube amps wont drive them, so i set them up with a switch, so when i use sand amps i can pull the center tap off the neg input... on The SL3 an the Acents,an others the swetch is all ready there it was for the base drop...-3db.. i never used this
If a 1ohm res.an the induckter is added, like in the SL3 centap, it sound diff,Not better...well to me.
I have put the Ascent crossover in the SL3s, where it put the 30mf cap in front of the 3ea.3ohm res. This get the fullrang from hiting the res.frist an can case ringing , Sounds sweeter,a littel more forgiving.I like it a lot,other may find this a upgread! All the same partes are there in the SL3.you can go back if you dont like.
So do you think the induckter can work as to add inductens to just one of the Antek Xfourmer?
An have you done any Center tap primary crossover setups with setup Xfourmers?
It a funky setup,??
Thay put the input res. to the crossover back in frount ,so thay get hit by fullrang,i dont know if thay did this just so it would sound diff when you did a side by side set,so you would here a diff an pay more $$,same panel size?....i know the woffer are diff. but....
thanks for any an all the info you have on get the best sound out of All ESLs

A. is right...it was a mix i came up with... for the SL3 An Ascent ...the Re-qust an the Odyssey...parts i had on hand. All there tranfourmers are the same but for the re-qust.
The Proidgy uses two pr speaker....like the Xfourmer SL3 an other... i do not get the inducters?? the Sl3s an the Ascent have the inducters on the centap of the primary...i thought it was to set the stepup xfourmers to just use 1/2 the windings...but if i run the center tap to the neg input only...i get less output....?? Can you tell me what adding the 1ohm dose to the inducker...flotet more.. give even more output???
For me on these ML crossover one clools thing i got was the Zobel thay came up with for the Res...Vary cool i never saw that befor an it works great!.....
Sorry as you can seeee.... my brain is not wired like others...it setup for 220 an it only geting 110...Maybe........

Hello tyu,
That's a lot of questions on the ML SL3 crossover. I'll see if I can answer them.
1) What is the purpose of the 2.5mH inductor connected to the CT of the primary?
Looking at Figure (A) you can see that the (2.5mH + 1ohm) is connected across half of the primary turns. By transformer action, the impedance seen by the crossover network will be that of a (10mH + 4ohm) network. In fact Figure (B) is electrically identical and produces the same response and load impedance. It is a common arrangement for ESL hybrid passive crossovers.
So, why did ML bother with the CT loading? Perhaps it comes down to $.
A 2.5mH inductor is cheaper and smaller than a 10mH.
2) Why doesnt connecting the CT to ground result in higher output?
Figure (C) shows this arrangement. Since the number of primary turns were halved, the step-up ratio would be doubled so it would make sense to expect higher output. But, halving the primary turns reduces the impedance the transformer loads the crossover with by a factor of 4! To get the expected higher output, you would need to change the 1ohm resistor to 0.25ohm, and the 30uF capacitor with a 120uF capacitor. This would give you higher output if your amplifier could handle the resulting impedance that now dips below 1ohm in the midrange.
3) What happens when I remove the 1ohm resistor in series with the 2.5mH going to the CT?
Attachment #2 shows a comparison of response and impedance with and without the 1 ohm resistor. The Blue curve is with the 1 ohm resistor. You can see that removing the resistor boosts the output above the 300Hz crossover by about 3dB. At this same frequency, impedance drops by 2 ohm to just under 4 ohm.
4) What happens when I completely remove the 2.5mH inductor from the circuit?
Figure (D) shows this arrangement. Without any inductor, the load seen by the crossover at lower frequencies is mainly defined by the primary inductance which changes with signal level. In general you will probably be playing the panel lower than the 300Hz crossover, but will not have the proper equalization above crossover.
5) Can the Antek transformers by used with the SL3 crossover?
Yes, if you use Figure (B) you would have nearly the same step-up ratio and response as ML.
Of course you would probably need to tweak component values to compensate for differences in transformer inductance and parasitics.

Thanks for your time... Bolserst......Vary cool info....
So do you see the Crossover setup useing the centap as in the Odyssey as a way to get beter sound an more output... are just a way to make the sound of the same xfourmer an panels sound diff??
I have Put the Xfourmer out of the SL3s in the Acoustat 121 interface a put the Odyssry type crossoven in on the centape an done some other mades ....like on the sedary side ran the setup like Soundlabe dose with out the 50k res......Just the .1mf caps in the setup an have got great sound an can run the 3ea panel M3 to full output...
Great fun...

The ML CLX high frequency panel torrid has 4 input taps so I'll guess it's the same transformer as the rest as the ML reserve series. (And they just choose the tap to suit the different models and just have 1 part to inventory /buy in better volume).
The CLX LF EI core has no taps. Later this spring a friends CLX will get upgraded next and we'll take pictures of each board, the magnetics, and trace the crossover schematic for the curious out there.
They did use high speed/soft recovery diodes in the HV step up supplies ( 2 supplies one for Hf and LF with what seems to be different number of steps in each so different operating voltage?).
Another friend has a ML Electromotions - the step up is a tiny EI not much larger than a wall wart.
The crossover is electrolytics in the LF section and polyesters in the HF section.
The Dayton Wright XG8/10 used a 39 pound EI core 80,000 ohm secondary made by Hammond, although it was crossed over to a tweeter (Piezo at first , ribbon later) at about 3k. It used just a small air core choke in series with the transformer to roll off the HF output of the cells. It also used a series 4 ohm power resistor in series with the input (bypassed with a 750 uf motor start cap) to provide some series impedance for early solid state amps fragile output stages- which Nelson Pass / Joe Sammut bypassed for clients with beefier Threshold amps)

A lot of added complexity for what may be a small audible improvement.
Driving the center-tap with a series RLC network fills in the dip in the response just above crossover providing a more linear equalization of the dipole roll off in the 300Hz - 600Hz range. There is quite a bit of interaction between the CT drive and the main drive signals, so a lot of modeling and measuring went in to optimizing the parts values.
Attachment shows simulated response with and without the center tap drive connected.
Blue = with CT drive

A comparison of offroad and onroad crashes in rural and remote Queensland
Steinhardt, Dale A., Sheehan, Mary C., & Siskind, Victor (2006) A comparison of offroad and onroad crashes in rural and remote Queensland. In 2006 Australian Road Safety Research, Policing, Education Conference, 25th - 27th October, 2006, Gold Coast, Queensland.
|PDF (85kB)
Offroad vehicle use and in particular offroad motorcycling has been established as a significant source of injury both within Australia and internationally. However, Queensland's police road crash statistics typically do not report crashes that occur in off-road circumstances. The aim of the current investigation was to compare this under-reported subset of crashes with on-road crashes. The data used was sourced from interviews conducted in Northern Queensland with serious injury patients hospitalised for 24 hours or more after a rural road crash. Of the classifiable crashes, approximately half were motorcycle crashes, of which a half again were offroad crashes. Of the crashes involving cars, roughly 15% were offroad crashes. Results showed males constituted the majority of all motorcycle crashes, with younger males particularly involved in offroad motorcycle incidents. Offroad motorcycling was identified particularly with greater proportions of riding for pleasure, unlicensed riding, unregistered vehicle use and travelling on an unfamiliar track or road. In terms of illegal behaviours, just under 10% of all subgroups reported recreational drug use. Non-use of helmets and seatbelts was higher for offroad compared to onroad groups, though a notable proportion of onroad users also reported non-use. Offroad motorcyclists were more likely to be unlicensed to ride, riding unregistered vehicles and unfamiliar with the area or road. The results are discussed in relation to how this data can inform official crash data sources and the development of interventions to target specific high-risk sub-groups in rural and remote areas.

A Few Different Questions About Painting
Hello All, I am new to this site, but I see all the great advice everyone is getting and I'm hoping someone out there can help me with a few questions. I should close on my new home this week. It is a repo and has been vancant for years. The walls are dirty and in need of paint. I had figured that I would use Kilz and prime them all and then paint. Is this accurate? Also, how do you figure out how much paint you will need for each room? Do you normally apply two (even 3) coats even with a primer? I would appreciate any help you all can offer. Thanks!
Welcome to the site Mayzee1
First off, usually there's no need to prime for re-painting
There are exceptions, but in general, when painting latex over latex, there's no need to prime
Some exceptions would be repairs, new drywall, painting over oil, some bathrooms, extreme color changes, nicotine/smoke stains, or using a tinted primer can help when painting deep reds or deep blues
However, the walls will need to be cleaned and scuff sanded
If you are painting the whole house, it will be worth it to invest in a sanding screen and a pole...it makes quick work of sanding
You'll want to use a pole for rolling too, so get one that you can switch the "head" on (to a paint roller)
It will be an average, or range (best/worst case)
Usually it's between 250 and 400
You'll need to measure the square footage of the walls (length X height = sq. ft.), then add the wall sq. ft. up for total sq. ft. of the room
It might be "OK" after one, but two looks and lasts much better
The cheaper paints often need three or more
Agreed ^^
My 2 cents -
when you buy a pole, price the roller and pole individually - I saved $15 and got a nicer product by purchasing the two seperately.
Buy good paint. I really don't mean to offend anyone and I'm not going to dance around the subject - Behr is not good paint. I haven't met a big box brand that I like. My opinion is use Sherwin Williams or Ben Moore. Thats it. Zinsser priming products are great! My favorite paint - Sherwin Williams Duration - its silky smooth application, covers like I've never seen and washes amazingly well. Its a little pricey - but more than worth it. Then again, Behr is really expensive because it takes 4 coats to get a decent finish.
BUY GOOD BRUSHES!! Dont' be tempted to save money here - honestly, even if you are just buying brushes to cut-in, pick up a quality Purdy brush and you will be sooo happy. Dont' throw out the cover it comes in, when you are down, wash it and dry and store it back in the cover. Use a brush cleaner and a brush comb.
When you add up your coverage needs, dont' forget to subtract for things like windows, closets, etc.
Don't trust masking tape - using it is fine, but don't expect it to block all paint - its not a license to just recklessly paint all over the place - still try to stick to a nice, clean, even line and use masking tape as a safeguard. Good luck.
I agree with j187 about the Sherwin Williams paint. Also, I think this week, they are having a 25% off sale on their paints. Guess where I'm going tonite!
If you do go to Sherwin - anyone that is - ask them to keep your records on file. They keep the EXACT formula of everything you buy if you ask them too - if you either
a. forget the color
b. need more paint
then they can make the aditional paint with the EXACT same formula - ensuring a near perfect match. You may think a formula is a formula right, paint is made same way each time? Nope. There are variances and this is one service that SW offers to eliminate them.
Great advice, j, I haven't done that but I will. I used up all the paint that I had in the same room, so I didn't have to worry about that.
If the walls are dirty, simply clean them with TSP or a liquid detergent and water.
There is no need to prime the walls, unless there is an oil-base finish on them and you are planning on switching to latex.
The average gallon of paint covers roughly 350 square feet of wall. The amount of coats you will need will depend on the color of the wall now and the color that you are painting.
If they are similar colors, two coats will do. If they are drastically different you may want to use a colored primer to help coverage.
An average sized 12' X 12' room with 8' foot ceilings has about 384 square feet. Most people try to save money on paint by subtracting for doors and windows and any other openings. I always tell people to not subtract anything, as the excess paint you will have left over will come in useful for touch-ups later on or other projects you may have. So if you had a 12' X 12' room, you would need 2 gallons of paint for two coats.
I hope that helps a bit.
Thanks so much to everyone for the great advice. Sounds like I can save some money on primer and buy the good paint. Thanks!!

Christian university's effort to overturn Obamacare fails
LYNCHBURG, Va. - A federal appeals court in Virginia has rejected a Christian university's bid to overturn the Obama administration's health care reform law.
A unanimous three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit court of appeals today affirmed a lower court ruling dismissing Liberty University's lawsuit.
Liberty claimed that the law violates the school's religious rights by requiring it to provide coverage for abortion-inducing drugs.
The university also claimed the requirement that individuals buy health insurance or pay a penalty is unconstitutional.

- Dailybhaskar.com

New Delhi: With the bankings fighting a war amongst themselves, in order to get as much of the market of India under their grasp, technology and experimentation to suit various groups seems to be the road ahead for them. India's largest private bank ICICI, has now come up with the iWish saving scheme, which will help the 'Facebook' generation on consumers, meet their financial goals from time to time.
How the scheme works:
According to the terms, one will be depositing a sum of money with the bank to help them save, but the amount could vary from month to month, keeping in mind the financial target (the iWish) over a period of time. This way the customer decides what kind of money they would want to deposit over a period of time, afteer which they help themselves to their objectives. The biggest advantage in this case, is that this can be done online and if one misses a particular installment for a month, then there will be no charges on the customer. In short, this is a flexible saving scheme. Also, customers get to make upto 10 iWishes, which can be tracked online over time.
The biggest USP:
Since we mentioned the Facebook generation as targets of beneficiaries, one can even share one iWishes on Facebook, and help close family and friends be a part of the scheme as well.
Costs involved:
The service has been targeted mainly for ICICI customers, where by they can create an iWish account free of cost, and select the financial terms accordingly including the tenure. However, if one withdraws prematurely before the iWish period ends, then there will be a penalty charge on the same. One can also choose goals mid-way of the term period, according to which the interest rate deposited will also vary. The curent resturns are around 6.5-8.5%, which is keeping in line with regular deposit rates.
Some pointers:
- Investing in an ULIP or Mutual Fund oriented scheme could give out better returns. So there are alternatives, but they are usually less flexible.
- Sharing one's financial goals could always be a dicy idea on social networks. Hence it ius advisable to share with a fixed group of people only.
- iWish will be working for people who have an irregular source of income, and dont fall under the minimum tax bracket. Hence, one has to look at goals in the long term, and current perspective as well.

Downhill's the hard part
Mileage: 8.0
January mileage: 372.4
Temperature upon departure: 32
I did some trail riding today. Three inches of new power. Soft-packed stuff underneath. Snow coming down hard. Decent elevation gain. Lotsa walking. Eight miles in two hours. It's been a while since I've done such a physically demanding, technically challenging ride. My calves are still burning. Good stuff, those mountain snowmobile trails.
This one was dramatically rutted. Some of the moguls were taller than my wheels. Geoff explained to me how snowmobilers make these bumps - by intermittently gunning and then releasing their throttle rather than just giving it even gas like normal drivers. It seems a little selfish to me, especially on a multiuse trail - but what can you do? Interestingly, they were a little easier to ride up and over on moderate inclines than they were on flat stretches. I think forced momentum makes all the difference.
Eventually, the trail became too steep to ride at all uphill. Wearing only my winter boots and no snowshoes, I was postholing up to my shins with nearly every step. I believed there was no way Snaux Bike would be able to handle anything that soft. But when it came time to turn around, it seemed worth a try.
Snaux Bike not only handled it, it left me in its powder-blasted wake. We dipped and swerved down the slope, shooting off the trail here, placing a foot down there, never letting up the forward momentum. It was amazingly fun, and terrifying, and a little bit painful. I made one big mistake - after noticing a singletrack snowshoe trail out of the corner of my eye, I shot right off the main trail without even stopping to scout it. I made it about 50 yards down before planting my front wheel to its hubs in the soft snow. I lurched forward and tumbled over the handlebars, but not before taking a blunt blow of the stem right to the crotch. The pain was metallic, enough to send me into a fetal position on top of the trail before I even processed what had happened. I can't even imagine what that would feel like if I were male. I guess I'd probably still be on that trail, writhing in pain, mourning for the children I'd never have.
Despite a few setbacks, snowmobile biking is great and I recommend it highly to anyone who enjoys challenging, but not impossible, technical downhill. The consistency and depth of snow varies from inch to inch, making that kind of trailriding a lot like coasting down a muddy doubletrack littered with invisible rocks and roots. The joy is in getting the guesswork right. And the soft, snowy landings numb the pain of poor choices. Unless you get a little too intimate with your stem. Then I don't know what can save you.

So, I'm graduating and moving to Philadelphia this summer. I'd really like to find a club that is relaxed, social, and more recreational than some of the bigger clubs. I haven't skated competitively for four years, but before I stopped I was in Senior, although I only competed on the club level. I really would like to skate recreationally, take like a 20 minute lesson a week, and maybe compete on the adult level in a few years or try pairs skating.
Does anyone from the area have any suggestions? I don't think I'll feel comfortable at, for example, Philadelphia SC.
Thanks a lot!

Hello Firefall fans! Today's blog will introduce the newest Firefall rewards system, known as the Bounty System. The Bounty System is a way for players to earn rewards for completing common actions within the game, as well as a few other more specific actions which we'll cover further on in the blog.
When playing through events and missions in Firefall there are often many actions associated with completion of the current goal, including actions such as reviving players, eliminating specific enemies and collecting loot such as Crystite. The Bounty System takes these parts of gameplay into account and creates a reward system which will grant a variety of different items including Crystite, equipment, experience and more for completing various tasks while playing the game! There are three different categories of bounties, "Quick, Daily and Weekly" each of which contain many different possible tasks such as "Kill X Enemies", "Collect X Crystite", "Travel X Distance on an LGV" to even tasks such as "Dance with 5 Players". These categories are broken down below.
Quick Bounties
The bounties which are fastest to complete are called Quick Bounties. These bounties often fall directly in the line of regular gameplay goals, such as killing certain enemy types, gaining certain amounts of experience without dying, and reviving other players. At any given time there will be three available quick bounties that can be completed. Once a quick bounty is completed it will grant a reward and then pick a new quick bounty from the pool of available tasks to replace the completed bounty. Quick bounties will award both Crystite and experience for completion.
Daily Bounties
Each day at 00:00 UTC the available Daily Bounties will reset, picking five bounties from the available daily tasks. These bounties take more time to complete than the quick bounties but will also grant better rewards, awarding larger amounts of Crystite and experience than the quick bounties, but also awarding equipment pieces upon completion. These bounties can include tasks such as killing higher amounts of enemies, traveling certain distances and gaining reputation.
Weekly Bounties
The most rewarding of the available bounties come in the form of Weekly Bounties. While these tasks often take longer than the Quick and Daily bounties, they also award the highest amount of Crystite and Experience, along with higher quality rewards such as guaranteed rare or above equipment pieces! Weekly bounties will encompass larger goals such as converting Crystite to credits, completing core missions or collecting Crystite without dying.
Bounty Points and Rewards
On top of all the rewards offered for completing individual bounties there is also an overarching award system which uses Bounty Points to grant players reward crates. Bounty points are earned from every completed bounty and are tracked with a progress bar at the top of the bounty interface. Upon reaching marked milestones in the progress bar, reward boxes can be claimed by the use of a "Claim Rewards" button.
These crates contain a variety of rewards, with each increasing tier of reward box containing better rewards than the last. The rewards within these crates can include modules, Crystite, tinkering components, consumables, equipment, key fragments, legendary fragments and even unique epic equipment which are only obtainable from the bounty system.
Rare Bounties
Occasionally when receiving bounties, a rare bounty will be assigned for completion. These rare bounties can be in any category and will be highlighted with a special visual effect which travels around the border of the rare bounty. Completion of these rare bounties will require a little more effort but will pay out much better than the regular version, not only increasing the overall size of the reward but also the quality of items awarded.
Group Bounties
For those who enjoy grouping up and meeting new players or completing tasks with friends there is the option to join up on "Group Bounties". When selecting the group bounty option the player and their current group will have a random event in their zone selected for completion and marked on the map. This event can be any wandering encounter or ARES mission and will award bounty points upon completion. While group bounties do not award items for completion, other bounties (quick, daily and weekly) can be completed while performing group bounties, along with receiving regular rewards for each completed encounter or mission.
We hope you've enjoyed this first look at the upcoming Bounty system, where players can earn rewards for performing everyday tasks. Bounties are available to play test now on the public test server.

We're online: Thoughts from a luddite-in-disguise
February 23, 2011
So Anna and I just got off a webinar about the new Facebook pages offered by Andrew Cohen, managing editor at Forum One. (Disclaimer: Forum One is our internet strategy/website development/all things geeky consultant. But they do offer some good notes about Facebook for new users!).
Yesterday, Anna sat in on a call hosted by Network for Good on ways to improve web writing and compose better micro-content for social networks (specifically, fundraising on social networks).
And just this morning, I got a call from an eager outreach officer asking me to embed some video on our social networks to support a homelessness radio marathonstreaming live from Kansas City, MO.
And so I find myself again at that juncture between social change and social media.
At the Alliance, we continue our struggle to find the right balance between traditional and social media outreach. We work hard to assess and re-assess the value and return of our Facebook page, ourTwitter account, our blog. And based on the community online, based on the emails I receive, and based on the chatter around the office, I know that we're not the only ones to struggle with these not-really-new-anymore mediums.
Me – I'm a luddite-in-disguise (and it's not a great disguise either). As much as I like the new and shiny tools online, I'd really rather not have to learn a whole new thing – especially if it's going to take more than two minutes.
But here's what keeps me tweeting away: the way people consume information has fundamentally changed (just ask the print industry). And while some people may cling to the newspapers and weeklies, they're hardly in the majority anymore. News breaks on blogs, announcements happen online, and when I want a brief overview of what's happened overnight, I pull up my Twitter feed – not the New York Times.
And as an organization dedicated to informing the field of homelessness, it's our responsibility to reach people where they are.
That's just the view from here. What conversations are you having in the office about social media and online outreach?

You can contest unemployment insurance claims - and you can win, says the Texas Medical Group Management Association.
A key to winning an unemployment claim is being able to demonstrate that you:
Make sure the employee, either by previous experience as shown in a résumé or through your training, should be able to do the job. Thereafter, unacceptable performance will point to unwillingness on the part of the employee, not on ability. Be sure to document all your discussions with the employee.
At the unemployment hearing, stick to the facts: specific problems such as complaints of rudeness from patients or excessive number of absences, your written policies, and your attempts to modify the employee's performance. Avoid using subjective terms such as "bad attitude" to describe his or her behavior.
Here are more resources for you:

How are retirement benefits divided in a divorce if my husband is already retired?
Question Details:
I think my husband is going to retire within a month or two. I think he is trying to move or rollover his retirement or take it in a lump sum and then divorce me. He doesn't want me to get 12 or any of his retirement. Can he do this? I know that I can file for divorce before he retires and secure 1/2 or his retirement, but I'm not ready to file for divorce. I think he will file if he can hide/move his retirement money. Not sure what to do.
Retirement benefits - pension plans, 401 (k), whatever - are clearly considered marital property under the laws of property distribution in the state of Illinois. The court has to determine how much of the benefits are marital property ( in other words how much of the benefit was acquired during the marriage - and how much was acquired before the marriage making it separate property. Once that is determined it is "put in the pot" so to speak for distribution and a QDRO is generally issued (A Qualified Domestic Relations Order). If the retirement benefit is already being paid out, the plan administrator can sometimes pay your portion directly to you. You need to check out the requirements of the plan from the plan administrator itself. Good luck.

"It takes a sexually aroused man to make a chicken affectionate."
"Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the grave."
"Suffer from diarrhea."
These are just a few of the mistranslated ad slogans from mega-marketing campaigns over the years. Perhaps you have heard them in their intended forms:
"It takes a strong man to make a tender chicken." (Purdue Farms)
"Come alive with the Pepsi Generation." (Pepsi)
"Turn it loose." (Coors)
How does your church communicate with the community you're in? Do the people in your surrounding areas know you the way you think you should be known? Are you the church with the loud music? The cheesy sign? The frustrating parking? Oftentimes a church's intended message can get lost in translation. When you say you're the "church that never sleeps," then why is there no one to answer the phone? When you say your church has "something for everyone," how come the youth ministry is virtually nonexistent?
The next time you communicate who your church is to people, try running it through a few "translation services." If Coca-Cola can figure out how to communicate to the other side of the world, certainly your church can communicate to the people across the street.
Brad Abare is the director of communications for the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, founder of the Center for Church Communication, and president of Personality, a communication and marketing consultancy.

The Donut Corral, 11411 S. Fortuna Rd. #207 Yuma, Arizona
Hours: Monday - Saturday 4:30 am to 1:00 pm - Closed Sundays - (open year round)
Welcome to the Donut Corral:
Carl & Carrie Johnson created a better donut for you and your family to enjoy..
Starting a food business that requires absolutes in temperatures for flour, water, yeast and proofing to yield the perfect donut was a challenge for the Johnson Family that put them on a "quest to be the best!"
After learning from an experienced baker, they soon found their own personal "home" baking held secrets that possibly could help them find that mystery ingredient for creating the "perfect" donut. Hour after hour they experimented and sampled until one day they said "this is it."
They took the recipe to a Trade Mark Lawyer and said "we are ready to patent this as our very own recipe under the name Donut Corral®."
A year later they received their Trade Mark Seal and eight years later they are going stronger then ever.
Contact us for more info!
The Donut Corral is much more than donuts:
Mouth watering donuts and pastries to please everyone's taste buds!!!
Carl and Carrie love to share stories of their amazing customers ordering in outrageous ways; such as the couple who called from Florida and asked them to overnight a dozen because they could not find donuts like Donut Corral Donuts in Florida! Or, first time customers asking "are these made from scratch right here?" The answer is "yes, of course!"
Night after night we work the dough. Reading it, stretching it and understanding it, to create dozens and dozens of donuts to please your palette!
Whatever your reason to indulge your senses, we have "your donut." There are over 50 options in donuts to choose from plus many other pastries. In eight years we have made millions of donuts but more than that, we have made lasting friendships with customers that is worth far more than "millions!" Along with all the pastries, are the famous breakfast burritos served with our homemade salsa. Again, the taste of home is served with a pleasing blend of smiles and warmth.
If running a Donut Shop sounds like the "Good life". Remember the hours are long and exhausting, the routine never ending, and sleep a luxury! But at 4:30 A.M. you will find our door open, the coffee hot and ready and your donut waiting! Now that is "sweet!"

Putin may not be ideal, but things are far from clear in the murky waters of Russian politics and Russians could do without any revolutions. The new Russians have found a cosy haven in the UK and I have no problem with that really, though I'd hate to be associated with them. But please don't allow Berezovsky to stir any more trouble in Russia. Western politicians have done enough harm by supporting Yeltsin's coup against Gorbachev. Meddling in other countries' affairs never brings positive results.

I recall President Bush also calling for "regime change" - the violent overthrow of a sovereign state. Can we expect the police to now investigate this and the involvement of a Mr A Blair?
Neil Knowles
So the Foreign Office "deplores any call for the violent overthrow of a sovereign state"? Good to see that, whatever else may be lacking in our foreign policy, a cruel sense of humour is not.

Crown prosecutors are trying to appeal against the acquittal of two Capital + Merchant directors and appeared in Auckland yesterday as part of their bid to get the courts to take another look at the case.
Wayne Douglas and Neal Nicholls, the founding directors and beneficial owners of failed finance company Capital + Merchant, were found not guilty in July on one charge of theft by a person in a special relationship and two of making false statements in a prospectus.
This case, brought by the Serious Fraud Office, concerns loans of about $14.5 million made to three companies that converted two Palmerston North office blocks into student accommodation - a project called "the Hub".
Crown lawyers argued during the trial that the pair stood to benefit from these transactions and said Nicholls and Douglas knew they needed to disclose them to Capital + Merchant investors and the company's trustee, but did not.
While they were acquitted in this case, the two men - both in their 50s - were found guilty of three Crimes Act charges in a separate trial, where Justice Ed Wylie found the pair loaned investor money for their own benefit in ways that breached Capital + Merchant's trust deed.
On these charges, also brought by the SFO, Nicholls and Douglas were in August handed 7.5 years in jail each - the longest sentences given to failed finance companies bosses to date.
Former C+M director and chief executive Owen Tallentire, who is in his mid-60s, was also found guilty of two charges in this case and sentenced to five years in jail.
Nicholls, Douglas and Tallentire have appealed against their sentences and convictions. Although Nicholls and Douglas received long jail sentences, the Crown is trying to appeal against the not guilty verdicts of the first trial.
In relation to this appeal Crown lawyers appeared before Justice Wylie in the High Court at Auckland yesterday, where Nicholas Davidson, QC, said the decision in the Hub trial could have consequences for other cases. Davidson, who did not appear for the Crown during the original trial, put forward an application for Justice Wylie to state a case to the Court of Appeal, identifying questions of law the Crown wants referred on.
If Justice Wylie decides to do so, then the case can proceed to the appellate court.
But the lawyer for Nicholls and Douglas, Bruce Gray, QC, said parts of the Crown's application were not appropriate.
"The accused are entitled to regard the matters as being at an end," Gray said yesterday.
Justice Wylie reserved his decision on the application.
The case: Concerns loans of about $14.5 million made between 2002 and 2004 to three companies that converted two Palmerston North office blocks into student accommodation - a project called "the Hub".
The charges: One of theft by a person in a special relationship and two of making false statements in a prospectus.
The verdicts: Not guilty, but the Crown wants to appeal.
The accused: C+M directors Wayne Douglas and Neal Nicholls.
The company: Collapsed in 2007 owing $167 million to about 7500 investors. No funds are expected to be recovered.
