Great Streets Newsletter | June 2008
Enjoy Our Latest Newsletter!
Please enjoy our latest newsletter, which focuses on PPS's exciting transportation initiatives. Together, we can create great streets!
Fred Kent, President
Project for Public Spaces
Feature Story:
An Introduction from Fred Kent
This newsletter highlights examples and qualities of great streets around the world and raises the bar substantially on the challenge to change transportation as we know it. We can have great streets in every neighborhood, downtown, city and region...if we want them. PPS can help you realize this transformative movement in your own communities through our "Streets as Places" and "Thinking beyond the Station" initiatives.
Through these efforts, PPS can help communities envision how they can reclaim their streets as places; provide technical assistance to communities who want to redesign their transit facilities as destinations and community anchors; offer training, facilitation and design guidance to transportation professionals and agencies to help them achieve community economic, social and quality of life outcomes; and partner with a city's local advocates and foundations to build a broader campaign around community-based transportation planning.

company spent more time asking questions about the cap table [to decipher the amount of venture capital the company had raised] than about clinical trial data." The first buyout offer that came in was exactly equal to the total venture capital invested in the company. Kinsella contends that the industry's "default" offer has become a buyout that just returns investors' money in the up-front payment, with everything else in speculative back-end milestone payments for hitting certain future goals. "It doesn't take a financial genius to tell you that having money in the ground for three to six years, and your upside is just getting it back—and this is for a 'success'—is not a sure-fire recipe for venture capitalists to raise follow-on funds from their LPs," Kinsella says. As a result, the aggregate number of biotech venture funds is shrinking, and the survivors are raising smaller follow-on funds. "While this hasn't affected Avalon's fund-raising," Kinsella says, "it is doing great damage to the ecosystem in which we all live. Avalon would get no pleasure from being the last man standing."
—Bad Faith Negotiations: Kinsella says Big Pharma companies are routinely walking away from buyout deals that have been fully negotiated. Kinsella says his first brush with Big Pharma's new imperious ethos came in 2005. "We had a fully negotiated deal with [a major Pharma] to acquire a company. But because of their CEO's travel schedule, the deal didn't get signed before the Christmas holiday. When the CEO came back, he had changed his mind. This was a signature-ready buyout that took at least six months to negotiate. And [the company] just walked away. No explanation." Since then, Kinsella says, "There have been numerous instances of pharma companies walking away from deals that were fully negotiated. So this behavior is not a blip; it's been going on for over five years."
He cites another example of bad behavior that occurred in 2006 while an Avalon portfolio company, Sytera Ophthalmics, was negotiating with a major pharma. Sytera was simultaneously negotiating with the Harvard Technology Licensing Office for rights to a related technology that was viewed as a potential backup to Sytera's own technology. The pharma argued that it could negotiate a better deal with Harvard than Sytera itself. Kinsella says he was worried that the pharma might step in front of Sytera and run off with the Harvard technology—leaving Sytera at the altar—but he was reassured by one of the pharma's representatives that the "ethical" company would never do that. Yet Kinsella says that's exactly what happened. "Their well-deserved comeuppance was that the Harvard technology didn't work, and the $3 million the pharma paid went down the drain," Kinsella says.
—Partnerships Without Risk: Kinsella maintains that another consequence of Big Pharma's mercenary mindset is a refusal to assume the risk that goes with early stage drug development. "If you try to partner with Big Pharma on anything earlier than Phase III data, then you are almost always going to get a crappy deal," Kinsella says. "And many of these partnerships seem to be aimed more at pharma tying up proprietary biotech products and research teams than in carrying new technology forward."

WASHINGTON — A sharply divided Supreme Court ruled Monday that some companies with religious objections can avoid the contraceptives requirement in President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, the first time the high court has declared that businesses can hold religious views under federal law.
The justices' 5-4 decision, splitting conservatives and liberals, means the Obama administration must search for a different way of providing free contraception to women who are covered under the health insurance plans of objecting companies.
Justice Samuel Alito wrote in his majority opinion, over a dissent from the four liberal justices, that forcing companies to pay for methods of women's contraception to which they object violates the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act. He said the ruling is limited and there are ways for the administration to ensure women get the birth control they want.
But White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the decision creates health risks for women, and he said Congress should take action to make sure they get coverage.
"President Obama believes that women should make personal health care decisions for themselves rather than their bosses deciding for them," Earnest said. "Today's decision jeopardizes the health of the women who are employed by these companies."
Contraception is among a range of preventive services that must be provided at no extra charge under the health care law that Obama signed in 2010.
Two years ago, Chief Justice John Roberts cast the pivotal Supreme Court vote that saved the law in the midst of Obama's campaign for re-election. On Monday, Roberts sided with the four justices who would have struck down the law in its entirety, holding in favor of the religious rights of closely held corporations, like the Oklahoma-based Hobby Lobby chain of stores that challenged the contraceptives provision.
Hobby Lobby is among roughly 50 businesses that sued over covering contraceptives. Some, like the two involved in the Supreme Court case, are willing to cover most methods of contraception, as long as they can exclude drugs or devices the government said may work after an egg has been fertilized.
But Monday's ruling would apply more broadly to other companies that do not want to pay for any of the 20 birth control methods and devices approved by federal regulators.
Alito said the decision is limited to contraceptives. "Our decision should not be understood to hold that an insurance-coverage mandate must necessarily fall if it conflicts with an employer's religious beliefs," he said.
He suggested two ways the administration could deal with the birth control issue. The government could simply pay for pregnancy prevention, he said. Or it could provide the same kind of accommodation it has made available to religious-oriented, not-for-profit corporations.
Those groups can tell the government that providing the coverage violates their religious beliefs. At that point, creating a buffer, their insurer or a third-party administrator takes on the responsibility of paying for the birth control. The employer does not have to arrange the coverage or pay for it. Insurers get reimbursed by the government through credits against fees owed under other provisions of the health care law.
That accommodation is the subject of separate legal challenges, and the court said Monday that profit-seeking companies could not assert religious claims in such a situation.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, who was part of the majority, also wrote separately to say the administration can solve its problem easily. "The accommodation works by requiring insurance companies to cover, without cost sharing, contraception coverage for female employees who wish it," Kennedy said. He said that arrangement "does not impinge on the plaintiffs' religious beliefs."
Houses of worship and other religious institutions whose primary purpose is to spread the faith are exempt from the requirement to offer birth control.
The contraceptives at issue before the court were the emergency contraceptives Plan B and ella, and two IUDs.

Petro Poroshenko has declared victory in Ukraine's presidential election, which has been marred by violence and intimidation in the east.
Initial exit polls showed an outright victory in the first round for Mr Poroshenko, a billionaire businessman and vocal advocate of European integration.
In a victory speech at his campaign headquarters in Kiev, Mr Poroshenko declared his first priority to be "ending the war," and said his first trip as president would be to the east of the country where he would offer jobs and language rights in a bid to end the insurgency.
He said he intended to return to dialogue with Russia, but warned that relations between the countries are the worst in 200 years and that Ukraine would "never recognize the annexation of Crimea."
The poll gave 48-year-old Mr Poroshenko 55.9 per cent – well ahead of former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko in second place with 12.9 per cent. If confirmed by results on Monday, this outcome would avert the need for a run-off vote next month.
But pro-Russian militants effectively prevented the election taking place in large swathes of the east of the country, putting the legitimacy of the poll into doubt. One man died last night after "armed separatists" seized ballot papers at Novoaydar, north of the regional capital Luhansk.
Polling stations opened at 8am in most of Ukraine, and initial signs suggested a high turn out for what has been described as the most important election in the country's post-Soviet history. By 3pm more than 40 per cent of the electorate had voted, the country's electoral commission said.
Casting his vote in a Kiev polling station on Sunday morning, Mr Poroshenko said that the election would bring "peace" to Ukraine.
"I am confident that today's vote will finally help bring peace to Ukraine and stop the disorder, chaos, lawlessness and terror wrought by bandits in the east," he said. "The first thing we will do is begin direct dialogue with the people of the Donbass in Donetsk and Luhansk."
Russia has said it will respect the result of the election, but the failure of Kiev officials to deliver on a promise that the vote would go ahead in the turbulent east of the country may draw it legitimacy into question.
Not a single polling station opened in Donetsk, a city of nearly one million people and the capital of the region at the centre of the insurgency, despite earlier promises by the regional governor that the poll would go ahead.
Attempts to open polling stations elsewhere in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions were stymied by the late delivery or complete absence of ballots, as well as instructions from the rebel leadership.
In the town of Dokuchaevsk, 17 miles south of Donetsk, polling stations tried to open before being warned to close their doors by rebel officials.
"The ballot papers arrived late, so we were planning to open at ten. But at 09:30 a man arrived and presented ID from the Donetsk People's Republic and told us not to. So we didn't," said an election commissioner at the town's deserted School No. 4.
The visitor did not carry a gun or wear camouflage, but he hadn't needed to .
"It was an entirely peaceful request, but there was a certain understanding that it might not be if we did not comply," said the official, who declined to be named.
At least one polling station in the town was occupied and its doors locked from the inside by unidentified persons.
"My own polling station was closed so I came here hoping to vote. And it turns out I can't. We need to have this election because we need a government to put an end to the chaos and violence here," said one local woman who was turned away from the school.
The only large city where voting went ahead more or less unmolested was Mariupol, a steel town on the south coast where street patrols by workers from steel plants controlled by local billionaire Rinat Akhmetov have restored a semblance of order.
Election officials at two polling stations there said had seen a slow but steady stream of voters from early morning, although they admitted some of their staff had failed to show up, and at least one polling station failed to open at all because of an absence of officials.
"I came to vote because it is my civil duty. I am a citizen of Ukraine and a patriot," said Natalia, a local who cast her ballot in the afternoon. She would not disclose who she voted for.
The vote came after one of the bloodiest weeks of violence since the pro-Russian uprising began in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
An Italian journalist and his translator were killed in fighting in the rebel-held town of Slavyansk on Saturday night.
Later in the day rebel leaders said Mr Akhmetov had agreed to negotiations about his future in the region after a pro-separatist crowd of several thousand marched on his residence in Donetsk. The crowd, which was policed by rebel gunmen, did not force its way in to the property.

Tinypug is a system for building portals that enables innovation communities. The idea is to go beyond one-off statistical surveys (which tend to only verify an existing paradigm) to foster real collaboration and anecdotal feedback from users/customers. A company seeking to gather more feedback on its products usually has to resort to a few existing stand-alone mechanisms such as polls and comments on product listings. But Tinypug puts all of these tools together in one place. It also makes it easier to integrate with call center applications for the active gathering of customer feedback. It's not a content management system as much as it is a feedback management system. It provides in-browser message boards, polls, surveys, and user-submitted ideas with voting. There's also a basic content system that enables you to upload and publish pages and images. You can customize the look of the site using themes and extend its functionality using add-on libraries.

Doctor Who has been around for 50 years. That's a lot of episodes to keep track of, and the fourth episode of "The Tenth Planet" – a first Doctor story featuring his regeneration to the second Doctor – was lost in the 1970s. All that remained was a short clip of the regeneration. But, technology jumps in to save the day.
Planet 55 Studios is re-creating the episode in an animated format. They've been working on it for two years, and they've just released the first clip. It shows the regeneration scene we know, and given how amazing it looks, I can't wait to see more.
See the clip in the video after the break.

The Treaty of Two Tigers or as it was cynically called, The Great Indian Plot of 1527 is a binding military and economic alliance between the Mughal Empire, under Emperor Babur and its closest ally Bengal. Below are extracts of the Persian text which includes Islamic dating conventions.
The name of the treaty pays homage to the great realm of Bengal and its symbol, the Tiger, and Babur's own name, which in itself translated to Tiger.
In the year nine thirty-three, Ẓahīr-ud-Dīn Muḥammad, Al-Sultan-Al-Azam of Gurkani, did extend the following terms to the Bengali delegation after discussion and consultation with the sovereigns and religious authorities of both realms.
- Should either the Mughal Empire or Bengal fall prey to invasion from an entity outside the sub-continent, the other shall immediately declare war on said entity.
- Freedom for religious minorities shall be enshrined and protected in law by both realms, allowing Moslem and Hindu to co-exist without fear of persecution.
- This treaty does not bind either realm to a war outside the sub-continent, though provisions such as economic and naval aid are required.
- India shall be split evenly amongst the realms within this treaty, and all future conquests along the southern coasts will be coordinated between the two powers.
- Humayun, Shahzade of the Mughal Empire shall wed at the earliest opportunity a Bengali bride of appropriate station, who will convert to the Sunni faith.
Signed on behalf of Gurkani in Agra, 28th December 933, (1527), witnessesed by the Mughal Religious Council and Kurultai. The treaty has now been submitted to Bengal for review and signature.
Mughal Emperor:
His Imperial Majesty, Ẓahīr-ud-Dīn Muḥammad, Al-Sultan-Al-Azam of Gurkani, Padshah-e-Ghazi, Azam Panah, Shahanshah, Al Khaqan Al Mukarram, Zillullah, Padshah of Kabulistan, Mirza of Sistain, Multan, Sindh and Bikaner.
Bengali Sultan:
King Anu agrees to the terms. (More to come)

Referred to as the lifeline for any space launch vehicle by NASA Space Launch Initiative Program Manager Warren Wiley, an umbilical is a large device that transports power, communications, instrument readings, and fluids such as propellants, pressurization gasses, and coolants from one source to another. Numerous launch vehicles, planetary systems, and rovers require umbilical mating. This process is a driving factor for dependable and affordable space access.
Seven years ago, NASA was in the planning stages of producing an aluminum alloy with higher strength and resistance at elevated temperatures for aerospace applications. At that time, a major automobile manufacturer happened to approach NASA for solutions to lowering engine emissions and the costs associated with developing aluminum engine pistons. The Space Agency realized the answers to the manufacturer's problems could lie within the proposed alloy.
Producing a new aircraft engine currently costs approximately $1 billion, with 3 years of development time for a commercial engine and 10 years for a military engine. The high development time and cost make it extremely difficult to transition advanced technologies for cleaner, quieter, and more efficient new engines. To reduce this time and cost, NASA created a vision for the future where designers would use high-fidelity computer simulations early in the design process in order to resolve critical design issues before building the expensive engine hardware.
- Originating Technology/ NASA Contribution
NASA's Langley Research Center scientists developed a family of catalysts for low- temperature oxidation of carbon monoxide and other gases. The catalysts provide oxidation of both carbon monoxide and formaldehyde at room temperature without requiring any energy input, just a suitable flow of gas through them.
- Originating Technology/ NASA Contribution
Wake vortices are generated by all aircraft during flight. The larger the aircraft, the stronger the wake, so the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) separates aircraft to ensure wake turbulence has no effect on approaching aircraft. Currently, though, the time between planes is often larger than it needs to be for the wake to dissipate. This unnecessary gap translates into arrival and departure delays, but since the wakes are invisible, the delays are nearly inevitable.
- Originating Technology/ NASA Contribution
NASA's Plum Brook Station, a 6,400-acre, remote test installation site for Glenn Research Center, houses unique, world-class test facilities, including the world's largest space environment simulation chamber and the world's only laboratory capable of full-scale rocket engine firings and launch vehicle system level tests at high-altitude conditions. Plum Brook Station performs complex and innovative ground tests for the U.S. Government (civilian and military), the international aerospace community, as well as the private sector.

If it were 50 years ago, NASA's contribution to rock and roll could have been more than just the all-astronaut rock band, Max Q, composed of six NASA astronauts, all of whom have flown aboard the Space Shuttle. If it were 50 years ago, a new NASA spinoff technology, Synthetic Vision, would likely have been able to prevent the fateful, small plane crash that killed rock and roll legends Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper on that stormy night in 1959. Synthetic Vision is a new cockpit display system that helps pilots fly through bad weather, and it has incredible life-saving potential.
- Originating Technology/ NASA Contribution
Advanced chemical sensors are used in aeronautic and space applications to provide safety monitoring, emission monitoring, and fire detection. In order to fully do their jobs, these sensors must be able to operate in a range of environments. NASA has developed sensor technologies addressing these needs with the intent of improving safety, optimizing combustion efficiencies, and controlling emissions.
- Originating Technology/NASA Contribution
Langley Research Center conducts research in support of all of the aeronautics project at NASA. It continues to forge new frontiers in aviation research, as it has since 1917, when it was established as the Nation's first civilian aeronautics laboratory. Langley's mission and contributions to aerospace, atmospheric sciences, and technology commercialization are improving the way the world lives and flies.
- Originating Technology/NASA Contribution
It is possible to get a crude estimate of wind speed and direction while driving a car at night in the rain, with the motion of the raindrop reflections in the headlights providing clues about the wind. The clues are difficult to interpret, though, because of the relative motions of ground, car, air, and raindrops. More subtle interpretation is possible if the rain is replaced by fog, because the tiny droplets would follow the swirling currents of air around an illuminated object, like, for example, a walking pedestrian. Microscopic particles in the air (aerosols) are better for helping make assessments of the wind, and reflective air molecules are best of all, providing the most refined measurements. It takes a bright light to penetrate fog, so it is easy to understand how other factors, like replacing the headlights with the intensity of a searchlight, can be advantageous.

Cardinals dominate Phillies to avoid sweepJun 24, 2011 - 5:43 AM
Matt Holliday, Jon Jay, Ryan Theriot and Tony Cruz each knocked in two runs to support a solid outing by Chris Carpenter (2-7), who limited Philadelphia to one run on five hits, walked one and struck out seven in seven innings.
St. Louis won for just the third time in its last 12 contests and joined idle Milwaukee atop the NL Central standings.
Chase Utley had two hits for the Phillies, who were looking to complete their first three-game sweep in St. Louis since August 1-3, 2006.
Phillies right-hander Roy Oswalt (4-6) lasted only two frames before exiting with lower back tightness.
"It's been bothering me for a little while," Oswalt said. "My last start in Seattle, a couple of pitches bit me pretty good and tonight I couldn't really get started too good."
Oswalt surrendered a solo shot in the first to Jay. He then gave up three straight singles to begin the second inning, with Cruz's base hit to right field plating Colby Rasmus. After Carpenter dropped down a sacrifice bunt and Daniel Descalso struck out, Theriot ripped a two-run single to center to put St. Louis up 4-0.
Kyle Kendrick took over in the bottom of the third for Oswalt, who was on the disabled list from April 27-May 16 with lower back inflammation, and the Cardinals tacked on another run in the inning when Holliday led off with a double and eventually scored on a fielder's choice by Skip Schumaker.
Philadelphia strung together three consecutive two-out singles -- the last one by Ryan Howard -- to get on the board in the sixth. But Cruz countered with his second RBI single in the home half of the inning.
The Cardinals put the game away in the eighth with six runs off Phillies reliever Danys Baez, who issued a bases-loaded walk to Jay before Holliday singled home a pair. Berkman followed with his 18th home run of the season, a blast over the left-field wall.
Carlos Ruiz added a home run with two outs in the ninth for Philadelphia.
"It's nice to win a ballgame," Carpenter said. "We had some issues the first night [of the series], and then they got their guy going the second night, last night, that threw a great game against us and got us. Tonight was a chance to get a game, get a win and get us back on track to go into the weekend. Fortunately I pitched well enough and we got some really nice hits, some key hits, and then late in the game broke it open. It was nice."
Game Notes
Shane Victorino went 1-for-4 to extend his hitting streak against St. Louis to 17 games...Kendrick allowed two runs and five hits over four innings...Before the game, the Phillies placed reliever Jose Contreras on the 15-day disabled list with a right forearm strain and selected the contract of pitcher Juan Perez from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Katherine Heigl spotted out with familyPosted on: August 24, 2011 10:19:20
Lonely hearts looking for love using online dating websites could be pleased to hear things appear to be going swimmingly for Katherine Heigl.
The former Grey's Anatomy actress was spotted enjoying a lunch date and stroll in the sunshine with husband Josh Kelley and their adorable daughter.
Heigl, 32, looked effortlessly stunning in a casual ensemble of black vest and beige cropped trousers, which she teamed with sunglasses and white trainers.
Spotted outside Little Dom's restaurant in Los Feliz, the happy family looked content and relaxed as they enjoyed their lunch in the Californian location.
Heigl and Kelley have been married since 2007 and adopted their Korea-born daughter in 2009 after it was claimed they had struggled to conceive.
The actress is set to feature alongside a number of high-profile stars in upcoming film New Year's Eve, which will be released later this year.

EZ-Link honoured with Most Innovative NFC Project award for "My EZ-Link Mobile"
Winning app is the world's first for topping up of physical stored value cards on mobile phones using NFC technology
Winning app is the world's first for topping up of physical stored value cards on mobile phones
using NFC technology
SINGAPORE, 16 June 2014 – EZ-Link Pte Ltd, Singapore's largest issuer of CEPAS-compliant cards, clinched the Most Innovative NFC Project award at the third Smart Awards Asia 2014 with its "My EZ-Link Mobile" app, a collaborative project with Wirecard AG, a global leading specialist in payment processing and issuing.
The win is a second consecutive for EZ-Link at the prestigious Smart Awards, as the company also took home the Best Prepaid Card award for the EZ-Link Imagine American Express® Prepaid Card at the second Annual Smart Card Awards Asia in 2013.
Launched in December 2013, "My EZ-Link Mobile" is the world's pioneering mobile application for the topping up of ez-link cards on Android smartphones, using Near Field Communications (NFC) technology. The app turns compatible NFC Android handsets into portable personal topup devices, making possible on-the-go cashless reloading of ez-link cards.
Besides the top-up functionality, "My EZ-Link Mobile" also allows users to view card transaction history and balance value, manage multiple ez-link cards and personalise the app.
Today, more than 60,000 users have already downloaded the "My EZ-Link Mobile" app.
"EZ-Link is very proud to be chosen as the winner of the Most Innovative NFC Project award from amongst such a strong group of finalists. The introduction of 'My EZ-Link Mobile' was a major accomplishment for us. It has placed us in the leading position in the market and provided immense value for our cardholders, delivering to them new levels of convenience when using our cards in public commute," said Mr. Nicholas Lee, Chief Executive Officer, EZ-Link Pte Ltd. "Kudos to the EZ-Link project team and our partner Wirecard AG – we could not have achieved such a secure, fast and easy-to-use app without their expertise and dedication."
"We are delighted to have our joint mobile NFC application selected as an award-winner. With our solutions and in collaboration with our valued partner EZ-Link, we are driving forward the distribution of mobile payment services," says Jan Marsalek, Wirecard-COO. "We are grateful for the honour and will continue to create innovative mobile payment solutions based on new technologies."
The "My EZ-Link Mobile" app won the approval of the judging panel as it innovatively enables users to perform commonly used functions on their ez-link cards through their personal mobile smartphones. This sets the app strategically apart from the dozens of contactless mobile payment apps being launched in the market now that focus on turning mobile phones into digital wallets.
"By leveraging on NFC technology to bring top-up and other functions to ez-link card holders instead of just creating another contactless mobile payment app, EZ-Link is helping consumers gain more confidence and familiarity with NFC technology, a key bridging step in making them embrace contactless mobile payment," added Mr. Lee.

Thank you again for all that reviewed I hope you like this chapter =D
Chapter 20
Hestia POV
We had just decided what Athena would be a goddess but obviously she could earn more titles. It's not a good idea to give a young goddess too much power. She might, without meaning to, hurt someone. She was going to get her mother's titles.
Just as I was about to leave I saw a confused Athena come in with Amphitrite holding onto her shoulder. Prometheus was nowhere to be seen.
"I'm taking custody of Athena," Métis' sister told the council "I am not having my niece live with her mother's murderer and his family."
Zeus, ever the negotiator, replied "Thank you for coming here and not just taking her. Now I understand your anger but-"
"But nothing, the only reason I even came here was that Athena wanted to say goodbye to Hestia." She can't be leaving she can't be leaving she can't be leaving she can't she can't
I hugged Athena. "Don't leave, please." I whispered in her ear.
"I-" before she could reply a wolf, the same one who attacked her appeared growling. He was glaring at Amphitrite and almost protective of Athena despite his earlier attack on her. How did he get on Mt. Olympus?
Athena POV
Where's your boyfriend now, huh?
What are you doing? Deflecting his spiteful remark with a question of my own.
You have to stay on Mt. Olympus!
I don't want to.
You have to. For me.
Because we can't avenge our mother otherwise. I need your eyes and ears inside at all times.
I'm on house arrest?
No. Do it for me? Please? I just need your help for this.
You what?
I can't have Zeus controlling my every move. I just can't
He won't because you won't let him.
Fine, I'll stay for you
Or for your boyfriend
Don't make me change my mind
How am I supposed to say I want to stay on Mt. Olympus?
Just say I want to stay on Mt. Olympus, sorry weird lady who I hate on first sight... on second thoughts don't say that.
Helpful as always

I wish I could say that Chloeworks started out in grand fashion as one big idea that we executed flawlessly. The idea, design, development and improvement of Chloeworks was messy, followed a few rabbit trails and went through many iterations to get it to where it is today. The journey wasn't exactly what we thought it would be, but boy the destination has sure proven to be a wonderful place. I'd like to tell you all about it.
In other lives, I'm a small business owner and have been running a marketing agency since 2004. Running a small business has its ups and downs and running a marketing agency has many unique nuances. You don't necessarily have thousands of customers, you have a small-ish amount of clients that you are providing a service too, at a significant cost to them. There are many deliverables associated with these type of relationships, and those deliverables take time. And you need to track those deliverables and report on them.
With many service agencies, ours included, the resources you have to fill those deliverables are typically people. So you work to get more out of each individual every year. Training and tools are usually how you do that. People tend to be expensive – expensive to find, expensive to train and expensive to keep. So, your goal is to find great people, get them producing profit quickly, make them as efficient as possible and do whatever it takes to create an environment where more work gets done at a higher quality than your competitors at a competitive rate for your clients and to perform above expectations for those clients. You gotta keep them happy.
So with that as the foundation, we can talk about how we developed Chloeworks.
In about 2009, we had several important business issues to deal with:
- During the course of our work for our clients, we contacted a lot of people – websites, bloggers, press etc. We needed to keep track of those conversations, the results of those conversations and who was having them.
- Reporting – we worked with many different sales, fullfillment, analysis, online marketing and other sales type of systems to track, report and pay out on ad spends for our clients and to our clients.
- Productivity – We really needed a way to determine just what activities our team was performing that produced results and which ones didn't.
- Workflow – We have a way of doing things and we needed to be sure those processes and workflows were easily implemented, tracked and completed.
- Client Management – Our agency needs to track many different data points for all our clients. We needed a way to do this quickly and efficiently.
Those were some of the business issues we had to deal with, I won't pretend to say those are all of them, but these the the ones that drove the creation of the idea that become Chloeworks.
I had struggled for many months to find the right tool to track our conversations with our clients and with our/their marketing partners. Both to make sure our staff was able to back up the work that we did but also as a CYA. If you have run an agency then you most likely are quite aware of what I'm talking about. We had been using a relatively popular CRM tool that allowed us to record/track these conversations. You may still be using this service. But we found a huge flaw – there was no reporting on that activity at all.
I kept asking myself questions like:
- Are the number of outreaches related to the success of a campaign for a client
- Are certain teams/employees out performing their peers – how and why?
- Is a phone call more important than an email – more important than a facebook message – more important than a snail mail? What form of communication works best for client A or partner B?
- Is my staff actually doing that amount of work that needs to be done? There was no adequate task manager that could tie in.
I really had no idea how efficient we were. I had no way to predict campaign performance based upon the work that we were doing. I had no way to determine what type of activities and outreach our teams did that really made a difference. The data I had was simply anecdotal. There was no real data behind it. And this was incredibly frustrating. As a business owner, how do you allocate resources, train staff and drive success for your clients if you aren't able to measure, track, report and adjust your inputs. Well, you end up taking guesses and relying too much on preconceptions, old thinking and anecdotes. I didn't want to rely on that anymore. Efficiency, efficiency, efficiency become the buzzword in my brain.
So, I had been introduced to a programmer, who later become a great and dear friend, sometime in 2008. At the peak of my frustration I called him to stop by the office. My goal was clear – I needed a simple layer built upon the CRM tool we already subscribed too. This reporting layer would tell me all the metrics I needed about the communications we were having on behalf of our clients. A 15 minute meeting turned into several hours. A small reporting layer turned into a multi-module workflow manager, CRM tool, Revenue Reporting engine and more.
I was asked the simple question "what do we do daily". After answering that, we determined there were several areas ripe for increased efficiency through the use of really great software, which we would build together. Chloeworks was born that day. We intended to increase efficiency through several modules:
- Client and Partner Conversation Management Tool
- Aggregated Sales Reporting Tool
- Process and Workflow Management
- Task Management
- Contact and Outreach tool
- List Management and more
All of this aggregated into one system that can be monitored, measured, tracked and reported on at not only the campaign level, but the agency, client, partner, and employee level. In the end, among a team of ten, we saved over 100 hours a week. You can do your own math, but that saved us considerably in labor costs, allowed us to bring on more clients, do more work AND our campaigns for our clients were more productive since we saw data quicker, more often than before and data we never had access to before. It's been an amazing win.
In Part II I'll go into depth into each module, how it came to be and what we hoped to accomplish. Check it out here.

By Jerry Potter, USA TODAY
AUGUSTA, Ga. The weather — hot and dry — created perfect conditions Monday for Augusta National to present a challenge that was all but lost when the golf course was stretched to 7,445 yards in 2006.
The course should be fast and firm, which means fun and games for the spectators on the scene for Thursday's opening round of The Masters.
Last year Angel Cabrera, Kenny Perry and Chad Campbell finished regulation at 12 under par; Cabrera won in a playoff.
TIGER SPEAKS: Woods meets the media
GALLERY: Top images from The Masters
That score was the lowest in four years, and the scoring average (72.606) was the lowest since 2001. The course presented opportunities for birdies, eagles and roars from the crowd that had been lost in the modernization of the course.
"They're attempting to do it right," Mark O'Meara says of Augusta National chairman Billy Payne and his staff. "It's still not like it was when I won in 1998, but they're trying to make it possible for birdies and eagles and bring back a lot of the excitement."
In 1998 the course played 6,925 yards, and the finish was dramatic. O'Meara birdied three of the last four holes, including 17 and 18, to finish 9 under par and beat Fred Couples and David Duval by a stroke.
This year, like last, the course is expected to play 7,435 yards, 10 yards shorter than after the 2006 redesign., but some players say that along with other adjustments can make a difference.
"They know their golf course better than anyone," Geoff Ogilvy says. "They know how to prepare it for us. It's always difficult, but never unfair."
A key factor in the score in any year is the weather. The forecast calls for sunny days in the 80s throughout the week, with thunderstorms possible on Thursday. Warm and sunny means firm and fast.
"Firm and fast is always better," said 2003 U.S. Open champ Jim Furyk.
Furyk is an average length hitter, so he likes to feel the wind in his face when he gets to the first tee.
"If the wind is blowing into your face on No. 1 that means a lot of the par 4s are going to be downwind," he explained. "For the average length hitter that's a big help."
When Zach Johnson won in '07 he faced cold, windy conditions that led to 1-over par finish, tying a record for the highest winning score in tournament history.
Johnson was praised for laying up on each of the par-5s, which for four rounds he played 11 under par. Furyk said Monday that was an easy choice for Johnson, a player of average length off the tee.
"When he laid up it was an easy decision for him to make," Furyk said. "He couldn't reach any of those greens in 2."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/11/2013 (1355 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The vote for Devi Sharma as the first woman Speaker of Winnipeg city council was supposed to be unanimous.
But three councillors who voted "No" Wednesday are being accused of playing cheap politics and tarnishing a historic moment.
Coun. John Orlikow said Sharma's election was "whipped" by Mayor Sam Katz, who Orlikow said pressured members of his executive policy committee and others to vote for the inexperienced councillor from Old Kildonan rather than council veteran Dan Vandal.
"What I am against is (Katz) whipping people to vote in a certain way," Orlikow (River Heights-Fort Garry) said, adding that was how the city hired Katz's friend Phil Sheegl as chief administrative officer.
'What I am against is (Katz) whipping people to vote in a certain way' -- Coun. John Orlikow
However, two members of EPC -- Grant Nordman and Mike Pagtakhan -- said they didn't need Katz to tell them how to vote, adding Sharma won the vote because she worked for it.
"No one told me how to vote," Pagtakhan (Point Douglas) said.
"She's the future (at city hall)," Nordman (St. Charles) said. "Devi went out and made sure she had the votes. It wasn't even close."
Recent protocol among councillors is the vote for Speaker is held during a private meeting with all supporting the winner at the public reorganizational meeting.
A source said Sharma lobbied heavily for the position and she easily defeated Vandal during the vote held Monday.
"I wanted the job because I believe I can do it," Sharma said. "I talked to all the councillors."
Orlikow said based solely on qualifications, Vandal was the better candidate, adding he's a council veteran, experienced as a chairman, familiar with the rules of council, bilingual and won't be running again.
Orlikow said Sharma is a nice person but lacks experience. He said she's never chaired a committee and has only been on council for three years.
"Which is the better candidate to be Speaker, nothing personal, just who do I think is better?" Orlikow said. "To me, the obvious choice (was Vandal).
"That choice wasn't made because (Katz) said to his members 'you will vote for,' Sharma. "They're all going, 'yes sir, yes sir,' and that's how we got into this position."
Orlikow was joined by Couns. Jenny Gerbasi and Ross Eadie in voting against an omnibus motion that appointed Sharma Speaker, Thomas Steen deputy Speaker and filled out membership on standing committees and boards and agencies.
Coun. Grant Nordman (St. Charles) said Orlikow's comments tarnished Sharma's special moment.
"Orlikow has put her in an uncomfortable position without giving her a chance," Nordman said.
Nordman said he believes Vandal lost the vote because he's preparing to run as a Liberal in the next federal election in St. Boniface, adding at least two-thirds (11 of 16 individuals) of council voted for Sharma.
"Nothing against (Vandal), but he's the past -- he's got one foot in Winnipeg and one foot in Ottawa," Nordman said. "We're looking to the future."


text: * FTSEurofirst 300 down 0.6 pct, FTSE 100 down 1 pct * Shire down 26 pct as U.S.' AbbVie reconsiders bid * UK healthcare shares plummet By Francesco Canepa LONDON, Oct 15 (Reuters) - European shares fell on Wednesday, weighed down by UK healthcare stocks after U.S. pharmaceutical firm AbbVie Inc said it was having second thoughts about bidding for British peer Shire. Shares in Shire plummeted 26 percent by 0757 GMT after AbbVie said it would reconsider a recommendation to shareholders to vote in favour of the 32 billion pound ($54.7 billion) merger due to changing U.S. tax regulations. AbbVie had previously been eager to buy Shire, partly due to the opportunity to reduce its U.S. tax bill by moving its tax base to Britain. Wednesday's drop, the sharpest since Feb 2002, takes Shire's stock back where it was when news of AbbVie's interest broke in June. Other UK healthcare stocks including AstraZeneca, which turned down a Pfizer approach earlier this year, also fell as the chances of a bid from U.S. suitors were seen as diminishing. "In the absence of a bid, these stocks will return to their previous levels," Justin Haque, a broker at Hobart Capital Markets, said. At 0757 GMT, the pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index was down 0.6 percent at 1,285.72 points, with Britain's FTSE 100 down 1 percent. The FTSEurofirst has fallen roughly 9 percent since mid-September as the region's economic outlook has worsened and stimulus measures unveiled by the European Central Bank, which include a programme to buy asset-backed securities and covered bonds, failed to reassure the market. Norwegian oil firm Statoil fell nearly 3 percent in brisk volume after its chief executive Helge Lund resigned to become the new head of Britain's BG. Shares in the UK gas major rose 1 percent. French food group Danone bucked the trend, rising 4.4 percent after a better-than-expected rise in underlying third-quarter sales on Wednesday, helped by improving baby food sales in Asia.

It is 10 pm, and all day I have tried to think of something to blog. I was hoping that some creative and witty thought will just drop in my lap out of nowhere like the rain that fell from the sky all day, but it's not happening. So instead I'm sitting here eating chocolate chips. I know, I know. But after a week like mine, I need chocolate therapy. Too bad it's only Wednesday.
So far this week I have endured meltdowns and refusals to go to school, all the direct result of change and getting used to a new teacher. It's not pretty, but I thought that we had things all sorted out and I was confident that the storm would soon pass.
Right. Ha ha. Someone up there is having a good laugh about now. Shut up.
One of the big rules in our house is that after school, Kevin must come straight home and check in, then change into play clothes before he goes to a friend's house. Do not pass go, do not collect $100, do not, for the love of God, go wandering through the bush. Home. Immediately. It's bad enough that he's always the last child to leave the school. For a kid that never wants to go, you'd think that he would love to leave. Right? Nope.
So today I sat at home and waited for him. He's riding his bike,by the way. It's the consequence of being completely out of sorts and nasty to me every day when I've picked him up. Back in the day care days, I had to pick him up. Now he can walk, and I love it. However it was pouring rain today and part of me felt a tad guilty. I mean, he was acting out, but wasn't it from stress? Surely now that things are straightened out and he's been so sweet, maybe it's a bit much. Maybe I'll drive him tomorrow.
3 pm comes and goes, then it's 3:30. Not to worry. He's usually home by 3:45. By 4:10 he's not home, and I'm beginning to worry, so I get in the car and drive through the neighborhood, looking. He's not at the school. He's not en route home. He's nowhere to be found. I remember the friend he introduced me to yesterday, and as a wild guess, drive to her house. Beside the house is a field that is being cleared to build on, and in about a foot of mud is a back hoe. Climbing on the back hoe, covered in mud themselves and soaking wet, is Kevin and his two friends.
Apparently the owner of this rather large piece of machinery encouraged the kids to clean out the tracks for her. Yes, that's it, she invited stranger's children to climb all over her back hoe. Part of me wants to smack her upside the head and yell, "What are you thinking? Are you nuts?"
Kevin was not impressed by my arrival to spoil the fun, and even less so when he discovered just how much trouble he was in. As a result of not obeying the rules, he has lost priviledges and is confined to the house for the next week.
Don't laugh. If it rains, I think I'll need more chocolate.

"So I propose an ongoing Rosary vigil. How it works is that I begin by saying a Rosary."
Say a rosary that this S.O.B. in the Oval Office sees his majority in Congress evaporate after this bill is approved,
that he is impeached, that he is tried for treason, and that he is convicted and sent to a Federal Prison for the rest of his miserable, treacherous, mendacious, life.
Say a Rosary that Americans finally wake up - all of them - the fiend that is the Marxist Muslim President and the political party, media and infrastructure which supports him.
And FINALLY, pray a Rosary that either the GOP leadership in Congress locates its testicles, backbone and intestines, or they too are swept aside by the anger and rage of the public to make way for a third political party.

Keeping Safe at Harvest
During harvest, there can't be a big enough emphasis on safety on the farm.
Recently there was a news story of one death and one serious injury on a potato farm during planting. This happens every year. Just last week a laborer in Michigan died when his clothes got tangled in the tractor's PTO. Last year, I read about two teenagers who were killed when a car collided with their tractor as it drove down the road.
One moment of inattention can have devastating results. In 2007, 715 deaths and 80,000 disabling injuries were attributed to agriculture, according to data compiled by Kansas State University Extension. The 2006 death rate for farmers and farm employees was 28 in 100,000, and the injury rate that year was 6 in 100. That makes agriculture first in death rate, followed closely by mining and construction.
While many of the farm injuries were attributed to handling livestock, most of the deaths involved a tractor and the injury rate was highest among farmers and farm workers over the age of 45.
Safety goes beyond machinery, too. There are caustic chemicals on the farm that can cause injury if the label isn't followed or the safety instructions are ignored. Applications of sulfuric acid to kill vines might work well, but who hasn't melted part of a boot walking into a recently treated field? Without proper safety gear, a worker could get it on his skin, and without proper signage, a neighbor's children or pets could walk into the field.
According to the data from Kansas State University Extension, the average farm injury resulted in four lost days. That could make or break a season if an injury comes during harvest, and a death could have far-reaching effects. In either case, the farm can be liable for damages if safety precautions aren't taken or someone is careless on a piece of machinery. Not only are days lost from down time, legal action could sink the entire farm.
Look for opportunities to encourage safety during harvest, and make sure all of the safety gear on your equipment is functioning before it gets into the field and it's too late to fix the problem.
