Hybrid meetings, which combine on-site and remote webconference audiences in a single event, are an increasingly popular format for many medical meetings. With proper execution, hybrid meetings can deliver the immediacy of a face-to-face meeting with the convenience and cost savings of a Web-based event. But, because hybrid meetings are complex, they require thoughtful planning to address various potential points of failure. Here are some of the best practices we've identified from the medical industry's nearly decade-long experience working with hybrid formats.
1. Plan intensively: Every meeting requires solid planning to succeed, but hybrid meetings require three times the planning of a standard event. You have to plan first for the on-site audience, second for the webconference audience, and also include a third layer of planning to synchronize between the two groups. Hybrid meetings are fundamentally different and require different scripting, media preparation, and interactive planning. Meeting planners must take the lead in urging all parties to think differently and prepare differently for hybrid meetings. Without comprehensive and coordinated planning, hybrid meetings can quickly deteriorate, with a minor glitch in one area throwing off the flow of the entire event.
2. Be daring, not boring: It pays to make aggressive use of meeting elements so your hybrid meeting achieves a high level of audience interest. While it's always important to take measures to maintain a brisk pace and convey a sense of excitement, it's especially vital when you have remote attendees. Poorly planned hybrid meetings can bog down in process or simply fail to include elements that add interest. To avoid being boring, be sure to make full use of multimedia and interactive tools such as live video, mark-ups, and group interaction. While it is possible to overuse these elements, that rarely happens. Strive for a mix that's consistently stimulating.
3. Be visually dynamic: Too many hybrid meetings are visually dull, showing static slides on the screen, one after the other. Hybrid meeting's must liven it up visually with an array of user-friendly multimedia, starting with live video of presenters and panels. You can enliven slide sets with bullet-point builds, arrow pointers, simple animations, and pre-animated highlights and underlines. If possible, incorporate elements such as recorded video and animation, and screen sharing, in which a presenter leads the audience though documents and other material. To organize multimedia elements, it's useful to create a per-slide "storyboard" of planned multimedia effects.
4. Involve the audience: To succeed, hybrid meetings must engage the intelligence of all medical professionals in attendance, especially those participating remotely. Interactive elements must accompany slide presentations to prevent a hybrid meeting from devolving into a passive and ineffective experience. Fortunately, most webconference platforms include features that support audience involvement, such as polling and chat. Audience polling is a popular tool that invites participants to respond to multiple-choice questions, with instant display of group results. Skilled use of polling creates a positive group dynamic in which everyone has a voice. Many webconference platforms support a chat feature that allows attendees to submit comments or questions by text; this can be used for open or structured responses. For both polling and chat, it's important to carefully plan so activities are harmonized among on-site and remote attendees.
5. Favor remote audiences: It's common for things to happen at the on-site meeting that don't make sense to remote audiences, such as side discussions and off-screen visual references. Avoid this: It reinforces the impression among remote audiences that they're second-class meeting attendees. Hybrid meetings should be run with a bias for remote audiences, and managers need to set clear rules that discourage improvised behavior by on-site participants.
6. Script the event: Hybrid meetings require a detailed script with verbatim introductions, disclosures, and housekeeping notes. The script should incorporate a plan for interaction, with a steady mix of polling, text/chat, and Q&A. Also included should be a media plan that outlines the use of video cameras, recorded video, and animation sequences. All elements of the hybrid meeting, including the script, should be managed by a moderator who keeps the event proceeding seamlessly.
7. Downsize the agenda: Strive for a compact meeting agenda to hold the attention of remote participants. Presenters should be encouraged to downsize their slide sets, with an emphasis on brevity, focus, and clarity. Consider setting an agenda, with 33 percent less time for presenters and a limit on the number of slides per minute. Encourage presenters to use fewer text slides and more graphic slides, and follow the "6 by 6" rule (no more than six bullet points per slide and no more than six words per bullet.)
8. Conduct rehearsals: To work through technical issues and improve hybrid meeting quality, it's a good idea to hold a rehearsal with all presenters. The rehearsal can include a slide review as well as a run-through of the script and all planned elements of the hybrid meeting. Busy medical professionals often resist the idea of a rehearsal, but in almost every case they appreciate the process once they go through it.
9. Coach presenters: Because audio clarity can be degraded for remote participants in a hybrid meeting, it's important for presenters to slow down their pace and speak clearly to avoid taxing virtual attendees' attentiveness by making them strain to hear. This is especially true for international conferences and multilingual audiences. Presenters need to be coached during rehearsal and reminded to slow down and speak clearly prior to the presentation, while the use of a "slow down" signal can also help overly energetic or nervous speakers during presentations. Hybrid meeting success can hinge on the very simple matter of getting presenters to speak slowly and deliberately.
10. Consolidate activities: A hybrid meeting is a single event, and it can suffer when separate teams plan the on-site and remote portions of the meeting. The on-site meeting room, for example, has to be managed both to accommodate in-room attendees and to support the technology for remote attendees. The most efficient approach for managing a hybrid event is to integrate the database, Web site, and webconference resources into a unified platform. Likewise, you can better serve meeting invitees/attendees by providing a single point of contact for event registration and information.
11. The right support: Hybrid medical meetings are often high-profile events, and a webconference platform used for internal company conferences may not be optimal. Your hybrid meeting may require a higher level of support that includes presenter orientation, media development, event moderation, on-site technicians, etc. A full-service provider can deliver such production services to ensure thorough preparation and smooth technical performance. A hybrid medical meeting may also warrant the support of a professional instructional designer, who can assist with interactive elements, build multimedia effects into slide sets, and contribute to a better experience for all meetings attendees.
12. Work the plan: These hybrid meeting best practices are easier to plan than they are to execute. Most presenters and meeting planners approach hybrid meetings as if they were the same as on-site meetings, which is a hard habit to break. A hybrid-meeting manager must develop the hybrid meeting plan using a clear set of best practices, and insist the plan be followed.

I bought the Heather wig during a promotion and love it. It's a little longer than my own hair, but similar in style. It's comfortable as well. I bought my usual color (14/88) and have decided to buy another in the Platinum Ash for a more glamourous look. The style is classic, the look totally natural. I haven't tried curling it, I personally like a straight look, but the texturizing gives is a natural look and movement. No artifical hair sheen. I've worn this to work and the only comments I've received is if I've changed my cut or color. No one has asked if it's a wig.One comment: The monofilament is a very tiny area at the crown. Very tiny.

I was so looking forward to this wig, as I loved everything about it in the photos. Sadly, I was disappointed when it arrived. The hair fibre, even after several washings, still has an artificial shine to it and because the amount of hair is so thin, it looks and feels greasy. A strong wind, shows the tracks at the back. The wig also sheds more than any other one that I own (approx. 20 wigs). As much as I don't like permatease, this wig would probably benefit from a little - and, a deletion of the ridiculous 'monofilament' dot on top. With more hair, and different fibre hair, and a FULL monofilament top, I would definitely order this again as the style is great. Sadly, as it is now, I can not recommend this wig.

Everywhere I go I receive great comments, a waitress ran up to me and said "I love your hair!" I curled the back fairly curly and left the front sleek and straight, back combed the back a bit and it is beautiful! I love the price and quality of the wigs I purchase from Paula Young, I have MS and some days I don't feel super great but I always do the makeup and put on my wig and I feel complete and beautiful for the day!

I love this style. To me, it looks better in person and I can wear it right out of the box. I got it in buttered toast and I couldn't be happier. I love the way the hair moves when I move my head. Looks very natural and feels great.

Curls easily and the curl stays in. Wear every day and switch back and forth. I have three and they all are wearing well.
Love it!
By Nana
from Seattle, WA
This was a perfect piece for me. I have had thin fine hair all my life and have always hated trying to fix my hair on a daily basis. This wig was the same style as my own hair and it does not have a lot of volume which is why I love it. I have had so many compliments and so many people did not even know I was wearing a wig. I wore it to work and no one knew - They do now and were shocked that they didn't know. I bought the 1822 color and it is a beautiful color. I have always liked the whitish blond with dark and it was the perfect shade for me. I recently ordered another one - same color for a backup. Love it!

I had been looking for this style because I wore it before and wanted it back and didn't want to cut my hair.This is a beautiful wig and would recommend it to anyone.It fits the moment you put it on and looks so natural no one can tell its a wig.Love it!Thinking of ordering a different color.
I really like this wig!

I have never worn a wig before but I am impressed with this one. It looks very natural. I only wear it on a few occasions but it looks like my real hair...same color...only fuller, and I really like the style.

About Me Minimalist
I really love this wig. The first wig I bought several years ago is one that I absolutely loved. It was discontinued before I could buy a backup. It has taken me this long, and several wigs that I like, to once again find a wig that I absolutely love. The natural look and the color I picked (14/88A)is just what I wanted. This wig is a lovely natural blond along with a style I prefer. I plan to have several backups because I wear this wig all the time. If there is a con at all: I wish perhaps it had a little more hair volume but still I LOVE this wig and will not let this stop me from buying several. I'm happy to finally find a wig that I love as much as my first one. Having a "wig wardrobe" is not only convenient and fun; it also covers (no pun intended) the dreaded "bad hair day"!

But amidst all the fanfare about Skyfall the fact is lost that the title of the movie is actually (spoiler alert!!!!!) the name of the home of James Bond.

This is the scooter that converts from a wheeled street model to one with skis ready for the slopes. Available only at Hammacher Schlemmer, it includes a kit that replaces its two polyurethane in-line skate wheels with two patented HDPE skis (requires wrench and hex key), enabling riders to carve turns in fresh powder or packed, groomed snow.

"""The Puzzle: You have three bags, each containing two marbles. Bag A contains two white marbles, Bag B contains two black marbles, and Bag C contains one white marble and one black marble.

Re: Bags of Marbles Flaw
No, you're wrong. You pick a random bag, but you already know the result of the pick from your random bag. You've passed the random bag stage (thus why we can eliminate bag b as a possibility) and are already at picking a white marble. There are three white marbles, each with the same probability of being picked. 2/3 white marbles are with another white marble, therefore 2/3 of the time you'll draw a second white marble.

It looks like to me that there are several ideas co-mingling here.
Writing "pretty" math (two dimensional) is easier to read and grasp than LaTex (one dimensional).
LaTex is like painting on many strips of paper and then stacking them to see what picture they make.
#6 2013-11-05 12:49:01
Re: Bags of Marbles Flaw
The answer to the question is 1/2 not 2/3. The reason being is that the question never says that you put the white marble back after you pull it out. Thus it is assumed that that white marble is not put back. However, if the question was reworded to state that you put the white marble back into the bag you pulled it from, then the answer would indeed be 2/3.

This scoop it profile by @Tom D'Amico (@TDOttawa) includes many useful blogs and articles that aim to teach in the 21st century. This includes learning with the use of technology. What he refers to as the 'iGeneration' includes many useful updates that can be used for both the students and teachers in the classroom. A few i came across that sparked my interest were a description on how to set up a blog with wordpress for teachers, this can be very useful to me as a student now and also in the future. I enjoy D'Amico's profile as he scoops quite interesting topics.

Consensus: Stocks That Pass the Most Screens
by John Bajkowski
This month's First Cut presents stocks that passed the greatest number of strategies tracked by AAII. This process was accomplished with a new report that is an enhancement scheduled for an upcoming version of Stock Investor Pro. The report examines the results of every screen selected and identifies which screen any stock passed. As of December 9, 2011, 935 stocks passed at least one of the 63 screens tracked by AAII. However, only 23 stocks passed four or more screens, and they are the stocks that made the First Cut this month. The MAGNET Complex and T. Rowe Price approaches did not have any companies that passed at the time of screening.
The stocks are first ranked by the number of screens passed and then by their price-earnings ratio. The price-earnings ratio (price divided by trailing earnings per share) is a basic valuation gauge. The earnings growth rate measures bottom-line performance. Market capitalization (number of shares outstanding times the price) measures firm size. Stock price performance is highlighted with relative price strength ranks over the last 13 weeks and 52 weeks.
Is a stock that passes more than one complete screening approach more attractive than another that just passes a single approach? Possibly, if the screening approaches are sound and varied. While you cannot automatically consider a group of consensus stocks to be a diversified portfolio, they may present a good First Cut for constructing your personal portfolio. Optimally, the group of screening approaches a stock passes is diverse enough to capture unique, yet desirable qualities. Further information on each of the screening strategies can be found at the Stock Screens

Very helpful link to the chart on past performance. Seemed the big losers like solar and tech were impacted by very specific political or technology waves. Some of the winners were established companies like Chevron and Intel. Didn't notice any real stable companies like these two on the loser list. So would it be a good idea to pick the more reliable established companies from this 'super screen' and buy only them?

Individual holding performance is quite impressive too. Several have negative one year returns, but there are only two holdings that have a negative period in all of the three, five, or ten year returns. They were very small negatives too.

Federal tax revenue plunged $138 billion, or 34%, in April vs. a year ago — the biggest April drop since 1981, a study released Tuesday by the American Institute for Economic Research says.
When the economy slumps, so does tax revenue, and this recession has been no different, says Kerry Lynch, senior fellow at the AIER and author of the study. "It illustrates how severe the recession has been."
For example, 6 million people lost jobs in the 12 months ended in April — and that means far fewer dollars from income taxes. Income tax revenue dropped 44% from a year ago. …
Big revenue losses mean that the U.S. budget deficit may be larger than predicted this year and in future years.

The total bailout costs of Fannie and Freddie are expected to climb much higher. When the Housing and Economic Recovery Act was passed, an arm-twisted CBO scored the GSE titles of the bill at $25 billion and said there was less than a 50% chance that the bailout authority would ever be used and less than a 5% chance that the costs would ever run over $100 billion. The Chairman of the committee, Chairman Frank chastised Republicans on the floor who said that the costs would likely go well over the CBO estimate saying, "It is the most inflationary arithmetic I ever heard." Of higher cost estimates being used by Republicans he stated, "these numbers that are being thrown around are simply inaccurate and misleading."
Well, speaking of inaccurate and misleading, the CBO recently updated their scoring of those titles and the cost estimates increased by over 1,500%.
Microsoft Corp. Chief Executive Officer Steven Ballmer said the world's largest software company would move some employees offshore if Congress enacts President Barack Obama's plans to impose higher taxes on U.S. companies' foreign profits.
"It makes U.S. jobs more expensive," Ballmer said in an interview. "We're better off taking lots of people and moving them out of the U.S. as opposed to keeping them inside the U.S."
Obama on May 4 proposed outlawing or restricting about $190 billion in tax breaks for offshore companies over the next decade. Such business groups as the National Foreign Trade Council, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Business Roundtable have denounced the proposed overhaul.

No blood on the carpet. How disappointing. [Also in Polish] - Comments
And that would have been no way to finish off a civilised evening.
I do think it was a remarkable evening. I wonder, Richard, did you ever imagine when you gave that magnificent TED speech on atheism all those years ago, that your efforts would have achieved all this?
Please forgive my petty comments about your mention of supernatualism. As you say, that was not the occasion, even if you had been convinced of the arguments. And what an occasion! I hope it sets a precent for religious leaders now taking atheism seriously, and realising that they have to at least deal in a civil way with its advocates, even if they are elusive when it comes to its arguments.

The media has always been cynical, and I would imagine it does so to get to the facts in some cases, but of late it's mostly cynicism because they need to write something that will sell. Why write that civilised men had a discussion and didn't try to verbally abuse one another? That won't sell! Everyone has an agenda, companies have agendas, and when things don't end up the way they want it's easier to sensationalize than objectify.

Of course the media always plays to the masses, re-writing and editorialising the truth to fit what they think their audience will want to hear/read.
Perhaps when they actually study the recent ipsos poll data about the true state of christianity in the UK, the media will swing round to ridicule the amount of over-representation that the church has in so many aspects of life......

I was at a dinner party last month where one of the guests remarked that "Richard Dawkins can't possibly know there is no God." I told him, yes, that is the position Richard takes.

Professor Dawkins, I am tempted to think that the only things supernatural in this world are your patience and temperance in debate. You strike a marvellous chord between grace and applying pressure with reasoned clarity - a composure which every critical thinker who faces irrational people must surely aspire to.
I admire this exceptionally; keep up the great work.

Awful the way Richard is caricatured by some people. But that doesn't compare to what some right wingers did to Dr. Jack Kevorkian in his heyday. Of course, Dr. Kevorkian did more "controversial" things, making it easier for these nuts to make their straw man, but that's still not the point. People are stupid and don't think.

I found the debate refreshing in its measured civility, and even gained some respect for Rowan Williams due his comportment. We are all in the same planetary boat, and this debate should be an example of how our discourse can be civil and productive even when our core beliefs are diametrically opposed. Thank you, Drs Dawkins and Williams.

Comment 17 by Schrodinger's Cat
The Daily Mail, as you might expect, picked up the same angle: "Career atheist Richard Dawkins admits he is in fact agnostic."
I think most people would realise that's agnostic in the 6.9 sense and not in the dithery 50/50 sense. An agnostic ( at least an 'atheist agnostic' ) isn't someone who cannot make up his mind......he is simply someone who thinks that 'know' is a more important and relevant qualifier than 'believe'. The universe is utterly indifferent to anyone's beliefs about it......that's the sense in which I feel an expression of belief ( or otherwise ) is somehow irrelevant.

I guess I was thinking most of the time that this couldn´t just take place between the pope and secular people, because the pope is just above all common people and just refused previously to talk with Prof. Dawkins and the words of Edgar
Morin: how can we believe in human rights if we don´t consider the person in front of us as "equal".
Permalink Sun, 26 Feb 2012 22:11:43 UTC | #922224
I knew that irrelevant agnostic-atheist scale would come to haunt Dawkins.
to summarize:
"Atheism is not about absolute certainty, it is about giving an answer to a question that has a reasonable answer. Does god exist? No. Do you know this with absolute certainty? Irrelevant."
The whole approach Dawkins made here and in his book is incoherent and only serves to confuse. Headlines like these were entirely predictable and preventable.

On the 6.9 recurring issue, in non-standard analysis (of which I think even many mathematicians haven't heard) you can have a quantity infinitesimally less than 7 that can be thought of as 6.9 recurring in the sense it exceeds anything with finitely many 9s after the 6. This is the same form of analysis that can distinguish between infinitely improbable and impossible events by only assigning the latter a probability of zero. However, since this uses non-standard analysis and not, say, the theory of real numbers, I can see why it seems such an awkward choice of phrase. But remember that no infinitely improbable theism could be represented with a real number under 7. Of course, this raises the question, does Professor Dawkins (or the man that he spoke to) think the probability of a god existing is a real number > 0 (i.e. "it's 10 the minus a lot") or an infinitely small quantity that can be distinguished from 0 only if we introduce non-real values?

Of course, this raises the question, does Professor Dawkins (or the man that he spoke to) think the probability of a god existing is a real number > 0 (i.e. "it's 10 the minus a lot") or an infinitely small quantity that can be distinguished from 0 only if we introduce non-real values?
Irrational number, surely!

What a delightful read
I guess they are too busy writing tomorrow's articles to actually read any books
This is the media (a bubble-world within itself)
If it get's a little chilly across Scotland, with a hint of snow over the mountains, the media translate that as the headline:
'blizzards are set to sweep south across the Uk'
People out there, will instantly dismiss Evolution, but have they read any books about Evolution, or are they even slightly educated on the subject? The answer is usually no
I would not support forcing education down people's throats, in the same way, i'm repulsed by religion being rammed into people's minds.
People know very little, and yet have strong views and opinions.
They need to have the desire to learn.

They will never read these books. Their caricatures sell journals, and so there really is no winning against the media. They really act like "The God Delusion" and other works of this nature are filled with hundreds of thousands of recurring "THERE IS NO GOD" lines.

I lost my enthusiasm for journalism long ago when I tried it at university and discovered that it wasn't just about reporting news. I don't know which is worse: the idea that people would write so shamelessly or the idea that people will buy the newspaper only if they write so.

Don't overanalyse this. 6.9 recurring can be represented as a curve that aims for, constantly approaches, and yet never reaches a line representing the number 7. It's a fun way of saying that his allowance for belief in a deity is so small that, for all practical purposes, he's a straight-up atheist.
I'm glad to hear the discussion was civilized, even though I haven't seen it yet. I can't stand antagonistic "debates" because the clash of personalities gets in the way of the relevant intellectual issues.

Comment 22 by Jos Gibbons :
On the 6.9 recurring issue, in non-standard analysis (of which I think even many mathematicians haven't heard) you can have a quantity infinitesimally less than 7 that can be thought of as 6.9 recurring in the sense it exceeds anything with finitely many 9s after the 6.
crumbs, you've got me there Jos!..I shoulda thought of the hyperreals...

Comment 29 by Scruddy Bleensaver
The dictionaries don't really agree with me but I think there's a subtle difference between being "sure" of something and to be "certain" of it. The former implies to me very little doubt, whereas the latter implies no doubt whatsoever. Therefore, like most people here, I'm sure there's no God, but I'm not certain, i.e.I'm your typical 6.9er.
Along the same lines, I'm sure the sun will come up tomorrow, but I don't think I'm certain of it as some very tiny possibility exists that something will affect the earth's rotation in my lifetime.
That said, once again people with a religious perspective show how they just don't understand us. No atheist can intellectually claim certainty about the existence of god(s), since we think all knowledge is provisional and we're always ready to change our mind if evidence were to be presented. Religious people, like politicians, think this is a sign of intellectual weakness rather than the intellectual strength and integrity we consider it to be.
I think we understand their position so much better than they understand ours.

I find that godbots are more familiar with a scale of 0 to 10, so I state that I am a 9.9s to infinity non-believer, or that I am 99.9s to infinity % sure that there is no god.
I can't totally disprove gods existance in a courtroom or laboratory.

The best strategy for PvP right now seems to be... play PvE and level up your heroes as quickly as possible. At least from my perspective (including my defense), PvP seems pretty quiet right now. Wonder how Playdom thinks things are going? (I mean what they really think, not just what they would say in a Facebook announcement or whatever.)
It does seem that there is a pretty good amount of rage surrounding PvP right now from a brief survey of comments on the Fb page.
If enough of their metrics tank, I bet we will see more changes soon.

Akron >Food & Dining > Swenson's Drive In Restaurants
658 E Cuyahoga Falls Ave, Akron, OH | Directions 4431041.114622 -81.495931
Neighborhoods: Chapel Hill
To Die For! – The best burgers in the world. I am serious - check it out!!!!!!!!
Great Food – The food at Swenson's is some of the best food in the Akron area. I have been eating there once a week for well over a year now. Not only is the food delicious, but it is affordable as well. Swenson's has great atmosphere and great service.
However...in the last review someone stated that only men work as servers at Swenson's and that is not true, there are many waitresses employed at Swenson's.
The Best. Period. – Swenson's has the best cheeseburgers anywhere hands down. I don't know what they put in them to make them so good. They have been around in the Akron area for decades. It is worth the trip if you are not close.
Their burgers are served on a flaky toasted bun and are a little sweet. The cheese is melted and delicious. Toppings are fresh and good.
Since it is a drive-in, the waiters (they are all male) will literally run back and forth to take your order, get your food, etc. It's a nice touch, and all this for a good price to boot. There really is no better.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Police believe the same man is responsible for eight burglaries targeting restaurants over the last 45 days.
Most burglaries happened at restaurants in the Dilworth and Myers Park neighborhoods. The Mellow Mushroom on Selwyn Avenue has been broken into three times in the last two weeks, including Monday night.
Other restaurants broken into include Mueller's Sandwich Shop, Toast Café, The Philosopher's Stone and Terra. Luxe Home Couture was also broken into by the same man, police say.
"This is supposed to be an anti-pick device to keep somebody from being able to pick this and pull the door open, but somehow he's able to get this," said Mellow Mushroom owner Marc Kieffer, while showing the back door.
Surveillance video from the Mellow Mushroom shows the man in action. He pulls up on a bicycle, puts socks on his hands to prevent leaving fingerprints, pries the door open, smashes the cash register to the ground and steals money. Kieffer says between the stolen money and damage to his equipment, the total is in the thousands of dollars.
"Usually about two minutes—that's all it takes to get inside to get the cash register and get out," said Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department officer Jim Gilliland.
The suspect rides away on his bicycle and could be using side streets or the greenway path to get away.
Kieffer said the burglaries are becoming frustrating.
"At first you don't think he's going to do it a second time and the third time you're just like you don't know what to do anymore," he said.
Kieffer brought lock companies out to check the doors. Door frame reinforcements are on their way.
Police are handing out stickers to local businesses that say there is no money in the register after closing. They even suggest taking it a step further.
"Even open the drawers and show they can be seen from the outside that there's no cash available," Gilliland said.
"We'll just keep trying to find new things until we find out a way to make the guy stop doing this, or until he gets caught," Kieffer said.
No one has been hurt in any of the burglaries. The suspect typically breaks in around 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. when the businesses are closed and nobody is around.
Police are asking for help identifying the man in the surveillance video.

Does First Round Capital have the most powerful network in the Valley?August 29, 2013: 11:56 AM ET
As venture capital firms compete to land startup investments, they're offering an ever broader array of perquisites from access to inhouse marketing professionals and founder email lists.
FORTUNE -- By the time Deena Varshavskaya had hired six people for her social shopping startup Wanelo she knew she'd need a bigger office -- soon. That's not an easy task for a young entrepreneur in a city as crowded and expensive as San Francisco. So she turned to one of her most important resources: the First Round Capital network.
She logged on and posted her question to the CEO forum, a network of 150 CEOs of companies funded by First Round. Within the hour, the CEO of a startup just two blocks down posted that his company was moving and his space was available. "It was 98% perfect!" she recalls.
As venture capital firms compete to land investments in the most promising startups, they're offering an ever broader array of perquisites from access to in-house marketing professionals and founder email lists to annual CEO summits that gather portfolio companies together to hear from high-profile CEOs and network with each other. Philadelphia-based First Round Capital has taken this to the next level. Over the past two years, the early-stage venture firm has built a private social network for its portfolio companies -- think Yelp (YELP) meets Quora with a sprinkling of LinkedIn (LNKD) -- that has become the go-to resource for time-starved startup employees seeking advice on everything from navigating debt-funding to figuring out how much to pay a senior software engineer.
MORE: Small biz social media all-star: First Round Capital
First Round founding partner Josh Kopelman explains the firms aims for half the employees of his portfolio companies to participate in forums designed for founders, engineers, hiring managers, and marketers. "We invest in software companies so we understand the power of software to make more efficient connections."
Each portfolio company CEO manages the company's interaction with the network. Members must use a Facebook (FB) ID to log on because, Kopelman points out, "people might be tempted to share a dedicated log-in and password, but they're much less likely to share their Facebook info." CEOs can choose whether to invite their employees to join dedicated groups within the network. The forums work very much like Quora: someone posts a question, and everyone has an opportunity to answer. In addition, the network has a growing list of user-generated reviews for everything from office contractors to lawyers. And entrepreneurs can also request free consulting from a group of Wharton MBA students that intern with First Round. (Example: "We're a photosharing startup and we need to go to every photo-sharing-related conference in the United States -- where and when are they?")
Anyone can build at social network, of course, but First Round's network stands out because it is densely populated and frequently used. During a recent demo on an August afternoon, I counted 27 consulting requests made within four days. Many of First Round's entrepeneurs report visiting the network weekly, and at times, daily. As CEO of Xobni, Jeff Bonforte read all of the questions that were posed on the platform, and when he offered up an answer, his posts were often five paragraphs long. "I don't have any time at all, but I'd feel compelled to write a page on how to take on venture debt," he said recently.
MORE: Apple is the patent trolls' No. 1 target
To tend this community, Kopelman relies on an inhouse staff of eight people who designed and built the platform and help to maintain it both online and off. Much of the reason it works so well is because its members have met at any of 60 events First Round hosts during the year. These offline relationships help foster a virtual intimacy that allows members to ask tough questions.
But most frequently, the network is useful because it helps people access competitive information in real-time. Warby Parker co-CEO Neil Blumenthal has used it for help with hiring, for example. "They've aggregated compensation information (for people that have opted in) for key roles within a company -- a junior software engineer, for example, or a CFO. When founders are making these hires, it's really helpful."
The network is a perq with a time limit, however. When Yahoo (YHOO) acquired Xobni, Bonforte joined Yahoo -- and lost his First Round network membership. Once a company is acquired or has an initial public offering, its executives lose access. However, the offline relationships the network fosters don't disappear.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Our invites were personalized to match our colours (navy). They turned out amazing and we also customized with a picture on the back as well. The quality of the paper and printing was amazing. Very happy with shipping, as it arrived to Canada very quickly. We are in the process of ordering our Thank you cards now. Thanks for all your help :)"
"After looking at samples from a number of different companies I decided to order my wedding invitations from Wedding Paper Divas and I'm really glad I did! I submitted my artwork and within 2 days they had a digital proof for me to look at. I even received a phone call to let me know it had been sent. At this time I decided to make a quick change and they had a new proof to me within the hour. I was expecting to wait a couple weeks before receiving them but within 2 days of approving my final artwork they were already at my door! They look great, feel great and I'm so excited to send them out! Thank you for your excellent customer service!! I will highly recommend you to anyone I know that needs invitations and will be sure to come to you again when I need anything else!"
"The Invitations were perfect, service was fantastic very accomadating to making small changes to personalize our invitations to suit our needs! So so happy"
"I really like the looks of this card and the paper was great. The back is design is by far the best I have seen and I like mostly for that. Though, the respondence card was not printed very well. Where it says kindly, you can hardly see the 'k' because of how it is written to go off the card."
"I am so pleased with how these invitations turned out! Our pictures were vintagey, so I opted to make the Date a more script font. I also liked the look of the black Date in contrast with the white info sections on the outsides. The quality was excellent. I love the feel of the cardstock and both font and photos turned out crisp. One note though, the proof that I approved before they printed did not match the actual product I was sent. I only noticed this because in the original one I created/approved, I made a point to let my ring show in-between my name and the word "and". This wasn't the case with the invitations that were delivered. Once I noticed this I noticed several other things had changed with the formatting (spacing between lines, font size). But honestly the formatting flowed even better than it had when I had initially created/approved it, so I'm not complaining. Overall, these turned out absolutely beautiful and I would definitely recommend them!"
