City of Chicago :: Mayor Emanuel Expands Open Data on City Portal with Executive Order
Today, the City of Chicago expanded its open data efforts with an executive order by Mayor Emanuel.
"An open and transparent administration makes it easier for residents to hold their government accountable, but it also serves as a platform for innovative tools that improve the lives of all residents," said Mayor Emanuel, in statement on the city website.
"Chicago's vibrant technology and startup community will leverage this wealth of open, public data to create applications that will improve service delivery and lead to greater quality of service for residents and more public engagement in City government."
The city released 21 new "high value" datasets today, including real-time traffic data from Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) buses, environmental data, liquor regulation, and recycling programs.
When asked what made these datasets high value, the Mayor's Office responded via email.
"The datasets released today aren't necessarily more critical than the more than 400 others that have been released," wrote Caroline Weisser, a spokesperson for the Mayor's Office.
"They continue the commitment the administration has taken to being a leader in municipal open data. The executive order itself codifies the actions that Brett and John Tolva, the CTO, have taken over the past year and a half to pursue both open data policy and detailed analytics in tandem. Making a firm commitment to continue adding writable data to the dataportal about how the city works provides the raw materials for the City to collaborate and innovate with the developer community, which ultimately helps the City do a better job of serving Chicagoans."

We have been covering the impending population jump in Scurry County thanks to the oil boom.
Well, one man who moved from the Dallas area to Snyder on the advice of friends and the oil business is not regretting his decision.
He opened a travel trailer business and has only been open for three months, but is already making his office bigger and hiring more people.
"Some people that we know from Fort Worth who are in the oil business told us that Snyder was going to be the next Midland/ Odessa," says owner Steve Pace. "So, we picked up and brought a bunch of RVs out here, and we rolled the dice, and we've been happy ever since."
Open since just the beginning of the year, Pace told us he's turned over his inventory nearly three times.

Interesting New York Times article on women pursuing STEM fields as undergraduates quotes MIT dean of admissions Stuart Schmill: "The real issue is women are falling out of STEM fields all along the pipeline, starting in middle school and high school. To increase gender balance, it's all a matter of getting the right story out about science and engineering to young women, that it's not about sitting at a desk doing math all day."

If you look at the media & news landscape today you will discover that news portals are more or less separated from their readers in the off- and online world. Marketing pursues to increase reach. Teams try to boost website rankings on search engine result pages (SERP) organically with search engine optimization. Performance will be measured utilizing highend web statistic tools. To win in the news market you have to grow your brand's digital attractiveness.
Maybe that this old fashioned role model or communication style will be shown in museums as illustration for the pre-NEWS3.0 era in the near future. Maybe it will become part of the curriculum of j-schools when "leasons learned" will be discussed.
But: what's really next?
My prediction: In the upcoming years the interaction of people, visualized by their social graph, will change how news will be distributed tomorrow.
We're in the era of News3.0. While all of the current news sites struggle to survive, a new kind of player will come up, which will reshape news portals as we know them today.
News will no longer be broadcasted to an anonymous mass in the News3.0 era. Instead news will be communicated by members of a community, peer to peer, by people we trust.
The recent figures published by Hitwise (read my last post) are a first indicator of change. Guess: how long will it take until Facebook will start to keep the traffic inside instead of fuelling upstreams to other portal sites?
Another lighthouse from which the impact of social media can be observed is Google Labs at http://www.google.com/experimental/index.html

Will This Company Rule the OS Space?
Anindya is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), the world's largest software maker, reported that the company's revenue in the three months ended in December, 2012 rose to $21.46 billion, yielding EPS of 76 cents. Microsoft gave no details in the report about the sales of its Surface tablet. The company marked its debut in the hardware industry last year when it unexpectedly announced plans to start selling the Surface.
Microsoft's hardware venture was a smart move to popularize Windows 8, an ecosystem designed to run on PCs, tablets and mobile phones. With the launch of Windows 8, the company made the best decision for its future. This article will focus on how the company can emerge as a leader in operating systems.
The Future of PCs and Mobile Computing
Computer makers and Microsoft are facing a prolonged slump as PC shipments are forecast to drop for the second year in a row in 2013. They fell 4% in 2012 and will slide another 1.5% this year, according to estimates by JP Morgan Chase. Tablet sales rose 72% last year and will surge 54% this year, JP Morgan forecast.
The entire PC ecosystem is witnessing a phase of negative growth right now, and it's uncertain whether the PC market will return to a growth market. While I'm concerned with a shrinking PC market, I don't think it's an alarming situation for Microsoft.
I believe that PCs will have a stable market going forward. Given that PCs are necessary for industrial use and to a large extent for official and home use, I'm not really concerned with the survival of PCs. PCs are not dying -- and they will not anytime soon.
Windows 8: Microsoft's Trump Card
Microsoft's venture into hardware business was a tactical decision to defend its decreasing market share in mobile OS. Surface has gotten off to a disappointing start, and it's not yet clear how formidable a competitor Microsoft will be. As far as smartphones are concerned, Microsoft is primarily depending on Nokia (NYSE: NOK) in capturing OS market share. The company said it would introduce its own smartphone if Nokia fails.
Microsoft is forging partnerships with Android heavyweights Samsung and HTC in an effort to popularize Windows 8. Meanwhile, Research In Motion (NASDAQ: BBRY) is set to launch BlackBerry 10, a new upgrade of its flagship BlackBerry operating system. It remains a favorite of enterprise customers due to its more robust security protocols in comparison to Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) Android or Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) iOS.
In the smartphone hardware market, Samsung held the leading position in Q4, according to a report by Strategy Analytics.
Samsung sold nearly 63 million smartphones in Q4, giving it 29% market share compared to the 22% share Apple captured in Q4 with sales of 47.8 million iPhones, as Apple reported. Nokia sold 6.6 million smartphones in Q4, Nokia confirmed, including its Lumia smartphone running Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 operating system, for 3% share of total Q4 sales. Nokia actually trailed several other manufacturers in Q4, including Sony in third place, China's Huawei and ZTE in fourth and fifth place, and Research In Motion in sixth place.
Windows 8 will primarily compete with Android, iOS and BlackBerry 10. From the above report it's clear that Microsoft is lagging far behind Google and Apple in the mobile OS race with only Research In Motion trailing Microsoft.
Microsoft is relying on Windows 8 to carve out a position for its operating system in the mobile computing market, which is fast picking up. Mobile devices like smartphones or tablets aren't usually used in computing for industrial purposes. But that scenario is bound to change with the advent of the Internet of Things.
The Internet of Things
It's the idea that at some point billions of electronic devices and sensors will be connected to the Internet in parallel to the hundreds of millions of people who have access to the Internet.
It will entail everything from smart meters in your home to sensors on your brake pads and more. All of the information from those sensors feeds into big data analytics engines, producing useful results. These solutions can tell us when we need new brake pads, how much power we'll use in the future, and even the best time to breed our cattle!
Opportunity for Microsoft
With the Internet of Things on the verge of becoming reality, Microsoft's software business will see tremendous growth going forward. Its "Windows and Windows Live" division, which reported a 24% year-over-year increase in revenue in the most recent quarter, will grow by leaps and bounds, because no other operating system will have the ability to integrate hundreds of millions of devices apart from Windows. With the pervasive nature of Windows, which has become even stronger with Windows 8, Microsoft will be in a commanding position.
The "Server & Tools" business should also register impressive growth, with networking being the backbone of the Internet of Things. SQL Server and System Center sales will contribute more to Microsoft's overall revenue growth.
The Bottom Line
Windows 8 will succeed, and I feel it will help Microsoft regain its market share in the overall OS business, from desktop computing to mobile computing. Once that is done, Microsoft will be firing all cylinders in software.

Wearable Mouse
December 30, 2003
Samsung is claiming they now have a wearable mouse, dubbed "Scurry," which allows users to roam around the screen by freely moving their fingers around in the air. Because of the high cost of production, Samsung is holding off on releasing the item for sale. Incidentally, why does all the cool stuff get invented in Asia? Are US tech companies really that lame?

What has been a bustling place at the end of main street in Mandan is now sitting pretty lonely.
The Central Market grocery store liquidated it's merchandise and closed it's doors this week.
"Public wants another grocery store. They really do. For that downtown Mandan area. That was a key spot for our citizens," says Mandan Mayor Aryln Van Beek.
It was a surprise to many but an action that followed a major announcement last week...
Dan's Supermarket is purchasing Central Market in Bismarck.
This store was not part of the deal and Central Market decided to shut it down.
But Mandan Mayor Aryln Van Beek says there's enough business in town to support two grocery stores and the Super Walmart.
He says, "with growth we are seeing and expect to see in next few years. I don't think there will be any problem supporting two grocery stores and a Super Walmart."
Van Beek says the city is ready to entice anyone interested in opening a grocery store in the spot.
"They are privately owned business but there are tax incentive programs, storefront improvement renaissance zone projects there are things we can do help a grocery store come into the city of Mandan," says Van Beek.
In the meantime, Van Beek says the loss will hurt the west end of main street and the businesses around it.
He says the grocery store did more than just sell groceries.
"It was a little coffee shop for a lot of seniors who live in that area, walk there, gathering place to socialize. Staple to Mandan for many years. Hope we can get it open again," added Van Beek.
The building is owned by local man.
He has owned the building from the start when it opened as Bill's Super Value in 1989.
Central Market in Mandan had 70 employees.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

It took a team for the Arizona Cardinals to beat the Atlanta Falcons
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Arizona Cardinal quarterback Carson Palmer said something that was a bit inaccurate following his team's 27-13 win over the Atlanta Falcons Sunday at University of Phoenix Stadium.
"You don't see four interceptions by their quarterback very often, that's a bit surprising," he said.
You see, the Cardinals, who picked off Falcons QB Matt Ryan four times Sunday, tallied five interceptions against him in a game last season.
But, unlike last year when the Cardinals' offense wasted a fantastic defensive effort against one of the NFL's best passers, this time was different.
This time, the Cardinals had Andre Ellington run for 154 yards and a touchdown on just 15 carries. Stepfan Taylor added 38 yards on 14 carries of his own.
This time, the Cardinals held the Falcons' running backs to a paltry 14 yards on 13 carries. It was actually Ryan, the quarterback, who led the team in rushing yards with 13.
This time, the head coach did not pull a struggling quarterback early in the game. Following his first quarter interception, Palmer completed 11-of-14 passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns.
This time, the Cardinals got the win, and it evened up their record at 4-4 as they head into the bye week.
"It's a lot more fun when you're 4-4 and you win then when you're 3-5 and you're starting from scratch," Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said after the game. "A lot of things would have been said had we lost this game in a lot of different areas."
Of course, it is just one win and it came at home against a reeling opponent after having extra time to rest up and prepare. Had the Cardinals lost, there is no doubt plenty would have been said about the team, be it a need to replace Palmer or that Arians' style may not be working as much as people hoped.
At the very least, the win bought the Cardinals a two-week window.
Arians added that the Cardinals won as a team Sunday, and it's true. For the first time this season, the slogan "Team is What it Takes" held true. Offense, defense and special teams -- this one had it all.
The Cardinals beat up an opponent they were supposed to beat up, and while not reason to throw a parade, it's certainly a noteworthy accomplishment for a team still trying to find its way.
"It feels so good right now," defensive end Calais Campbell said. "Especially going into our bye week it's something we can build off of for the second half of the season."
"It's a relief," linebacker Daryl Washington added. "To be 4-4 right now sitting at .500. We'll get a chance to get some rest and take care of our bodies and get ready for our home game."
Two weeks from now the Cardinals will return to UofP Stadium to face the Houston Texans. Like the Falcons, the Texans were a preseason Super Bowl contender. Also like the Falcons, the Texans have struggled mightily this season.
That game, of course, is followed by a visit to Jacksonville, where the worst team in the NFL resides. After a win like this one, where everything worked, it's easy to look ahead and wonder where this team could be just a few weeks from now.
"It's obviously a big win, but we've got a long way to go," Palmer said. "We've got a lot of work to do. That's four wins. We're going to worry about number five and not worry about anything else. We're going to worry about number six and not worry about anything else.
"Nothing has been accomplished."
Nothing has been accomplished, unless you count returning the positive vibe for the Valley's football team.
Amazing what a good, solid win can do.

Google's Edge Explained: The Eric Ries Factor
Danny is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
If you're like my brother, you're always discovering another mystery in software production yet find yourself bereft of hours for more research. Not all of us can intimately familiarize ourselves with the project management of high-profile tech companies, no matter how much we want to appease our inner Phillip A. Fisher.
Luckily, there's a new doctrine being adopted to address a historical ambiguity in software development. It's why I'm not selling my Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) shares despite the all-time highs, and -- through the below 3 cases -- it's how you'll learn to better inform yourself about tech development. Thanks to Eric Ries and the principles outlined in his book "The Lean Startup," investors can identify patterns in product development to ensure that their money is in competent hands. Should a product be built, and will it allow a sustainable business to be built around it?

One of Google's recent innovations is a pair of glasses that could replace your smartphone by presenting data directly on the lens. Does this sound like something that the company should be building? Can Google build a sustainable business in this yet-unestablished market? By considering Lean Startup principles, we can find promising indicators to answer these questions. It's a simple experiment: form the hypothesis, then validate it.
As an investor looking at this unproven product, my first questions may be: will people buy these glasses and will independent developers support this platform? My hypothesis: Google enthusiasts will buy these glasses. Developers will flock to the platform.
Lucky us; this year's Google I/O conference offers some indicators for those questions! Google offered pre-orders for an early version of Google Glass at a price point of $1,500, but only for attendees. My first promising sign was that I, as an experienced developer, wished I could preorder them while watching the conference at home. By then following the developer activity around the project, we find confirmation about hundreds of interested developers scrambling to move on this platform.
With this single event's information, we're much more informed on this innovation than we would be with ancient specs-dictated development, where the product would only be released after some executive's definition of "completion." Instead of a gut check on whether future customers will want a project you're hearing about, we've systematically validated some form of demand, support, and even a price point!
Google Fiber
Back in July, Google announced their entry into the internet and TV service provider space -- except they didn't deploy it in the traditional sense of widespread availability and immediate fulfillment. Instead, they took an incremental step that answers questions and hypotheses around the product and its potential for a sustainable business.
Thanks to Google Fiber, Kansas City would become the coveted residence for nerds all over the world since it was the first and only city in which Google Fiber would be available. As a savvy investor looking at it from a Lean Startup perspective, Kansas City is the trial that answers valuable questions around this new push for the company. Among many lessons learned, Google has gauged and confirmed an interest in the service, knows whether each plan's price point sells, and is now informed about difficulties in deployment. Who would have guessed, for example, that future competitor Time Warner Cable would actively pay money to spy on the service or the politics around a clamor for discounts (along with AT&T) in the city without having pushed the bar themselves?
Tech is full of uncertainty, but this first trial means a better, gradual deployment in future cities after the product is confirmed as viable in the first. Seeing as how the service has expanded into its second city and has more lined up, your demand hypothesis might sound pretty good; seeing the fear from the competition can help inform questions around alternatives for customers.
Down to the signup page that records an interested user's city (a.k.a. the best future market targets), Google's rollout of Google Fiber is exemplary in terms of following an incremental deployment that fits Lean Startup principles. If the company continues this pattern, investors can easily approach each project with Eric Ries' principles to validate the success or failure of their investment.
"Google Plus" is Google's social network facing off against rivals like Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace. If you haven't tried it, or don't know the reasons why it should be tried, don't worry: you're not uninformed. It's not a surprise, since Google+'s launch is better characterized by a massive execution of a specified feature set rather than by the incremental, hypothesis-validating framework that Lean Startup principles provide.
The world's first view of Google+ was through a very traditional "beta" period that allowed only a limited number of users on the network prior to its official launch. Features were available that you can find on Facebook, with a focus on a "Circles" system that was drawn from observations about how real people interact with others. You have circles of friends in real-life; Google+ spent a lot of time and effort into designing that on the Internet for you.
Now being savvy Lean-Startup-informed investors, the questions, overlooked hypothesis validations, and conclusions might become apparent. Do people want another option for a social network? Will people use Circles to organize their relationships? Does it allow for a sustainable business?
What did customer usage and feedback show? Apparently, Google+ was huge with photographers thanks to its visual layout. Also, Circles were interesting but categorizing and drawing thresholds was simply too much work for most users. In other words, the best usage case was a surprise and the fundamental product differentiator wasn't being used.
Unfortunately, substantial money and developer time had already been sunk into building this project o' surprises. The result was an expensive social network that struggles with its competition and its identity both within and outside of the company. It does not show signs of becoming the leader our other Lean-Startup-driven considerations could become.
Surpassing Century-Old Management
As a software developer, I've always had a problem with the high failure rate of tech companies. Management science, which today is simply taken for granted as "the way things are," is over a century old and was adopted with a mindset that never knew the concept of software.
Peter Lynch provides great categories for companies, but stalwarts like Google are starting to find their way back to the "fast grower" label through startup-minded innovations. This is not a failing of Lynch's categories; it is the new landscape of the tech business. Tech giants must innovate to stay relevant. Investors must learn to gauge appropriately.
Measure whatever your company is building with particular goals in mind as to what your customers can reveal. This analysis of projects, and discoveries of companies where this development pattern is used, will arm you better than past failures built on the antiquated management practices inherited in tech.

Restaurants in Kuta can offer you what ever you feel like at that specific moment. They have almost anything you can wish for, even the good old McDonald's, KFC and not to forget the Starbucks. Ok, this isn't officially a restaurant but I won't be surprised if some consider it a great place to eat too…
The best thing about the restaurants here is besides the international cuisine, most restaurants have their own character with a laid-back atmosphere. Obviously the main goal of eating out in Kuta is that you enjoy the food while having a great time…
After many visits to Kuta I have discovered that I have become a regular at these following places:
Gabah Restaurant & Bar: This terrific restaurant is located in the Rama Hotel right on the corner of the street. It's a semi-open building (meaning no walls) and has tables and lounge chairs throughout the place. The kitchen is also open, so you can actually see them tossing the pizza dough in the air, or grilling a delicious fish. Both these aspects create the right atmosphere of a place where wonderful food is served.
Besides Balinese dishes they serve all kinds of international dishes as well. Every dish is served beautifully and will have you taking a picture of it before trying it out.
Gabah is one of the restaurants in Kuta which is always packed, for breakfast, lunch and dinner. So make reservations or just get there on time. It is however not the cheapest restaurant (but still cheap) compared to others in town, but trust me you'll understand why once you have eaten here. Expect to pay USD 8-10 for an average main dish.
Nero: This restaurant is the trendiest restaurant of this "my top 5 restaurants in Kuta". It has a modern interior and a pretty dark setting with candles. It looks more like a lounge-bar than a real restaurant but I guess it is both; the restaurant serves food till 1.30, while the bar serves drinks till late at night.
Anyway, this is the place to be for all kinds of food but mostly Mediterranean.
My favorites are definitely the Mezze platter as a starter and the Seafood Shish kebab for the main course. But there are other choices in grilled seafood or meat dishes. You can find Nero on Jalan Legian just before the Monument. The average price for a main course is about USD 5.
TJ's: This place is popular with every kind of Bali traveller, from families, to couples and groups of friends. It is a colorful and inviting restaurant that serves mouth watering Mexican food with home made sauce. Besides the regular beef, chicken and vegetarian burrito's and wraps, they have their own surprising combinations as well that are just great.
You must realize though, that once you tasted it and you love it, you can only find it here in Kuta and no where else. So no wonder I have become a regular. I always order the Moroccan Tagine Wrap which is filled with chunky tuna, nuts, and cranberry covered with terrific sauce.
Make sure you keep some room for dessert. On a blackboard just near the bar there is a long list of delicious cakes ranging from cheesecakes to thick creamy chocolate cakes.
I'm sure you'll become a regular too. TJ's is located in Poppies I and a main course is about 3 to 4 US dollars.
Ristaurante Italia: This restaurant is not officially located in Kuta but in Legian. If you are staying in Kuta you will soon discover you will not be able to distinguish both villages from each other anyway. So that's why I believe this splendid Italian restaurant with view on the beach and sea is a must to visit.
It is located at Double Six in Legian and has a huge terrace under the trees. This restaurant is the place that serves the best Italian food in Bali (from all the restaurants I have eaten at least..) Everything I have ordered here made my taste buds go crazy, it was always assolutamente fantastico!
I can't really say what my favourite dish is, but I highly recommend the gnocci pamadori balsimico or the different foccacia or pizza's… Am I any help at all? Average price for a main course is USD 3.
Warung Indonesia: Last but not least of my favourite restaurants in Kuta is a typical Indonesian restaurant that serves their food the Indonesian way; cheap and in abundance. If you enter the restaurant, which is usually packed during lunch, just stroll straight to the back where there is a huge display of dozens of Indonesian dishes.
Check them all out first, because they look all really good but you can not eat them all of course. One of the staff members will scoop some rice on your plate and wait till you start pointing the dishes you want to go with it. It can range from meat dishes to vegetables in delicious coconut gravy.
At the end your plate will be one big mountain of food. You pay for each dish, so if you keep it modest with two kinds of meat dishes and two kinds of vegetables dishes it will be not more than USD 2. But if you can't resist remember: you eventually pay exactly what you have eaten…
I hope I have given you great tips and that you have found at least one restaurant that you want to try out when happen to be in Kuta. Selamat Makan!
Matt Verbaan loves traveling through Bali and has experienced the things that make this island truly wonderful, which also includes the terrific food of course. Restaurants where he has had a great time, enjoyed the food and ambiance are posted on his own travel website. If you are going to Kuta check out the restaurants that Matt recommends on http://www.bali-travel-life.com/kuta.html Restaurants in other destination on Bali can be found in his Bali travel website too.

Working in below-zero temperatures during breaks in Antarctic snowstorms is a welcome challenge of a posting to the frozen continent for Staff Sergeant Deon McKenzie.
Sergeant McKenzie, who was raised in Masterton and attended Makoura College, told the Times-Age about his experience battling snowstorms and sub-zero conditions.
He was speaking by phone from McMurdo Station before returning to welding work after being forced to down tools when a snowstorm struck the area over the weekend.
Sergeant McKenzie, who joined the NZ Army in 1990, was posted to Antarctica a fortnight ago as part of a light engineering team of 17 personnel, who will run repair and maintenance missions at McMurdo Station and Scott Base.
Veterans at the station have been gobsmacked at the unseasonable heavy snowstorms through January, he said.
They had commented that more snow had fallen "in 24 hours than they've seen in a whole summer season".
"It's unusual for them but it's good for us because we get to experience it - so it's cool," he said.
The latest heavy dumping of snow came after a similar storm last week and he and a second welder had worked a tag team on their tasks since arriving a fortnight ago.
"The challenge we've got at the moment is that we do about 20 minutes worth of welding and then we change round for the other guy to try and get some feeling back into his fingers.
"And get his face out of the wind because the welding helmet just scoops up all the cold and swishes it around in there."
Two weeks ago a Canadian aircraft carrying three crew members on a flight from the South Pole failed to arrive at Terra Nova Bay.
The wreckage of the Twin Otter aircraft was discovered on Mt Elizabeth, firmly embedded in the snow, Antarctica New Zealand spokesman Graeme Ayres said.
The recovery of the bodies would happen during the next scientific season, which stretches from October through to late February.
Sergeant McKenzie and the Kiwi contingent had been given little detail about the incident though the thoughts of the entire team were with the families of the crew.

Storm offered a port
Saturday 29 April 1995
Mr Thompson took over the chairmanship of Storm earlier this year following the departure of the charismatic and controversial founder, James Driscoll. In spite of two rights issues, trading at Storm has never met high expectations and the shares have foundered from their flotation price of 100p to a new low yesterday of 5.5p, down 0.5p.
Mr Thompson hopes to use a greatly reduced group as a vehicle for his media ambitions. He already owns two programmes - A Question of Sport and Saint and Greavsies World of Sport - as well as a celebrity broking service and a bloodstock magazine. These interests will be acquired by Caspian and he hopes to expand into new areas.

Two weeks have passed since voters across most of Georgia rejected their region's T-SPLOST proposals in a display of distrust in government. Unfortunately, that's plenty of time for members of our governing class to provide new reasons to be wary of them.
The most egregious of the new bad examples comes courtesy of an organization whose project became a lightning rod during metro Atlanta's T-SPLOST debate: the Beltline.
The 22-mile loop of trails, parks and transit ringing Atlanta's urban core is supposed to herald yet another renaissance for the city of perpetual rebirth. Instead, a series of investigative stories by the AJC's Greg Bluestein has uncovered an all too familiar sight: flip disregard for the public, this time in the expense reports of Beltline employees. These workers might not be public officials in the traditional sense, but they do have access to tax dollars.
And my, how they've used that access. Wedding gifts, a parking ticket and a dry cleaning bill, and

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Loved this race again and will be back next year !Date of review: September 24, 2013
In short: Still my favourite Half marathon,great organisation,scenic and testing route plus top goody bag and medal.Love it.Date of review: February 25, 2013
In short: The Perfect 10K that has a great route and is excellently run by PWR and was my 3rd year.The clock at 5K was a nice addition so C U next year. Date of review: October 17, 2012
In short: Well organised,lots of parking,great support (especially in Leigh/Tonbridge) and very nice medal given out by Dame Kelly Holmes In full: Organisation was very good from,race packs and info to parking and starting.Good facilities in K college so plenty of areas to warm up and lots of toilets plus good bag storage.Start area on Brook street was fine and most runners seemed to be in correct time areas. Exceptional support through Tonbridge outskirts and leigh with church bells and brass band playing which was very nice to hear.Wet weather conditions made race very challenging plus up and down nature of route which i personally found as tough as sister race in Tunbridge Wells but well worth it with quality medal given out by Dame Kelly at the finish.Would recommend and probably have another crack at it next year. Date of review: September 24, 2012
In short: Poorly organised,no prerace map of course,started 10 minutes late and missing marshalls after 5k causing half the runners to only run 8k as we went the wrong way!! Date of review: September 17, 2012
In short: I liked the new improved faster route cutting out High Elms even though conditions on the day proved to be tough through the woods and fields.Well done again ORR and will be back again next year.Date of review: June 25, 2012
In short: Very scenic,good early start,well organised but course not as fast as expected. Medal is unique but dissapointing with no Year/Date. In full: First time attendance for this race and thoroughly enjoyed it as lovelly scenic course through Farningham and Eynsford valley.Liked the early start and was very well organised with parking close by and only had to wait a short time for portaloo.Running buddies had suggested this was a fast course and to be fair it was but the hill at 7K really takes it out of you and you take a few hundred meters at the top to fully recover.The medal was unique with the picture it but was basic with no date or year on it and not as good quality as previous years as i was told.Will do again next year to take on that hill again but a banana at the end would be nice next year!!Date of review: April 16, 2012
In short: 1st time and surprisingly fast plus very scenic course with good mixture of running surfaces.Well organised and marshalled and lots of support so a big thumbs up. Date of review: March 11, 2012
In short: A great Half marathon,very well organised,fab medal/goody bag and amazing support and scenic route.Nice to have Kelly Holmes back again.Date of review: February 26, 2012
In short: Local flat run with good standard of competition,medal,t-shirt,banana and water so good value for £10 and the distance was correct even though slightly over. In full: An improvement on last year as the distance was over 10K (10.13)and organisation was slightly better but still a long wait to collect number from entry desk.I thought the route was better and going around the bank of the athletics track and out of the side gate into park was an improvement on going out of the main entrance.Atmosphere was ok for me as i ran it with a group of running friends and you just had to avoid dog walkers and children on bikes/scooters on a few occasions around the park.In general not bad value for money for £10 and actually quite enjoyed the four laps of the park so will be back next year.

Sometimes you're dressed so hot it feels as if you're walking on fire, and other times you literally are. My feet ablaze in Gianvito Rossi's red suede sandals, a stroll down the street would be more fiery than a walk across coals. In addition to a spicy scarlet hue, embroidered patches turn a slinky ankle-strap into the wick to my flame. So I know, no matter what the temperature or how I'm dressed, I'll be burning up the sidewalk all summer.

Given as a gift and they really liked it. Very large in size, bigger than I expected. Seems to be good quality and better than I thought it would be for the price.

Decent scarf but the zebra print is only on one side so you have to fold it or arrange it to get the best look. Other than that, it is decent quality, and is cute. Oh, the white is not white, it is off-white. The picture makes it appear true white. Not much more to say. If you don't mind the print issue and the off-white, then you will generally be pleased with this scarf.

This will be a nice fashion accessory this fall, especially since animal prints are in style. I like pairing it with a plain black top.

This scarf is a gift for my daughter-in-law for Christmas. She loves anything zebra, so I think she wil like it. I haven't taken it out of the cellophane package, but it seems nice enough. It's more of a pashmina than a thin scarf. My only concern would be how soft it is if worn next to the neck. Nice for the price!

This is probably my favourite scarf that I own! I love wearing it. It's the perfect length and thickness for what I want in a scarf. Very cute!

I am a fan of pashimas and don't insist on a heavy weight scarf. This one is quite light weight but that isn't my complaint. My complaint is the quality of workmanship. This is cheaply made. The black dye is stamped onto the front and does not penetrate well to the back side of the fabric so that that side is definitely the wrong side, significantly lighter than the front. This means you really only want the front of the scarf to show and that significantly inhibits how it can be worn, it must be rolled to hide the back side. The dye on the ends by the fringe is smeared onto the white. There is a little smear in the body of the scarf as well - just enough to make it look like I need to do some laundry. The weave at the end is loose, the fringe isn't nicely done as it is on other pashimas. After one wearing threads are pulling - and that means the dye pattern is disrupted as well. I cannot recommend this product.

CareTalk: Blog for Cancer and Blood Disorders
Get insights and inspiration from Nemours' experts in Hematology/Oncology.
Get insights and inspiration from Nemours' experts in Hematology/Oncology.
Lymphomas are cancers that start in a child's lymphatic system — the part of the body that works with the immune system to help fight infections and diseases.
Each individual child's symptoms can vary, but common signs and symptoms of pediatric lymphoma may include:
IMPORTANT NOTE: These signs and symptoms together or on their own do not automatically mean that a child has lymphoma. Any or all of these could be a sign of something else. And not all need be present to indicate lymphoma or any other kind of cancer.
Our pediatric cancer care experts will conduct a complete exam of your child and a medical history evaluation. Other diagnostic tests for pediatric lymphoma may include:
We know that tests can be scary – for you and your child. Whatever kind of tests your child might need, know that your Nemours pediatric cancer care team will do everything we can to make the experience as comfortable as possible – physically and emotionally. We'll give sedation or anesthesia as needed and offer support and guidance at every step.
Learn more about what to expect with certain medical tests »
Depending on your child's age, overall health, extent of the disease, and other factors, pediatric lymphoma treatment may include one or a combination of
the following:
At Nemours, we know that getting a cancer diagnosis can be very frightening and overwhelming for your whole family. That's why Nemours' board-certified pediatric hematologists-oncologists, specialty nurses, cancer researchers, and other cancer experts are focused on helping not only your child, but your family, too.
From diagnosis to treatment (and beyond) we'll be here to help guide your family through your lymphoma journey – and to strive and hope, with you, for a better tomorrow.
A blood transfusion is a relatively simple medical procedure during which a patient receives whole blood or one of its parts through an intravenous line, or IV. This is a tiny tube that is inserted into a vein using a small needle.
While patients are likely to notice a brief pinch of the needle, a blood transfusion is relatively painless. Still, any procedure that involves a needle is likely to cause some anxiety for a child, so it helps to understand how a transfusion is done. That way you can feel confident about what is happening and help put your child at ease.
Blood is like the body's transportation system. As blood circulates, it delivers oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. It also collects waste products and carries them to the organs responsible for making sure the wastes leave the body.
Whole blood is a mixture of cells and liquid, and each part has a specific job:
A blood transfusion can make up for a loss of blood or any part of the blood. Although whole blood can be transfused, it is rarely used. Instead, more specific parts of blood are transfused as needed. Red blood cells, the most commonly transfused part, are used to increase the blood's ability to carry oxygen and prevent fatigue and other complications.
Transfusions take 1 to 4 hours, depending on how much blood and what type is given, and no special recovery time is needed.
Most transfusions are done in a hospital, but can be done elsewhere when necessary. In most cases, the blood comes from volunteer donors. The blood of the donor, which is carefully screened to ensure its safety, must match the blood of the person receiving it.
The three main reasons why a child may need a blood transfusion are:
Since there's no manmade substitute for blood, the blood supply used for transfusion must be donated. The three types of blood donation are:
Some people worry about getting diseases from infected blood, but the United States has one of the safest blood supplies in the world. Many organizations, including community blood banks and the federal government, work hard to ensure that the blood supply is safe.
The risk of contracting a disease like HIV or hepatitis is extremely low in the United States today because of very stringent blood screening. Also, the needles and other equipment used are sterile and they're used only on one person and then thrown away.
If your child needs a blood transfusion, the doctor will speak with you about the procedure. If you have questions, be sure to ask. When you feel comfortable with the information and your questions have been fully answered, you'll be asked to sign an informed consent form, stating that you understand the procedure and its risks, and give your permission for your child to have the blood transfusion.
If the situation is not a life-threatening emergency, two tests will be performed:
Most transfusions occur in a hospital setting, often at a patient's bedside, or in the operating room, emergency room, or chemotherapy unit. They also can be performed in an outpatient care clinic or even at home, if necessary.
As long as the transfusion is not being done during surgery, you can stay with your child, who will be awake. Your child can sit comfortably in a reclining chair or lie down on a bed, watch a movie, listen to music, or play quietly, and might be able to eat and drink, walk around a bit, and use the bathroom.
A nurse will begin an intravenous line (IV). After the needle is inserted into an arm or hand, a small sample of blood is taken and sent to a lab to confirm the blood type. Once the results are obtained, a tiny plastic tube is left in the vein and attached to the IV tubing, which is then used to connect to the bag containing the blood.
Since puncturing the skin involves a small needle, starting an IV can cause a little bit of pain (kind of like a small pinch). To reduce discomfort, a nurse might put some numbing cream on your child's skin a half hour before inserting the needle.
Though the vein is typically in the arm or hand, it can be done in other places, if necessary, especially if conditions like severe dehydration or blood loss have made the veins harder to find. For example, babies often receive transfusions through veins in their foot or scalp.
Children who need many transfusions may require a central line (a tube inserted into a larger vein in the chest) or a PICC line (a longer tube inserted through a vein near the bend of the elbow). These lines allow easy access and also spare smaller veins the damage that can come from repeated punctures.
Most kids don't require any special medications before or during a blood transfusion. However, if your child has had a mild reaction during a previous transfusion, the doctor might give your child some medication just before the procedure, either by mouth or through the IV.
Just before the transfusion, two nurses will read to each other the names and identification numbers on your child's armband and on the blood that came from the blood bank. The transfusion won't begin unless there is a match.
The blood bag is hung upside down from an IV pump that controls the speed of the flow.
The nurse will measure your child's blood pressure, body temperature, and pulse several times throughout the procedure. Your child also will be watched closely for any signs of an allergic or other type of reaction, including rash, fever, headache, or swelling.
After a transfusion, if your child is going home, the tiny plastic tube is removed from the vein and a bandage is placed over the area. The site may be slightly sore or tingly for a little while. Medication may be given for any mild side effects, such as fever or headache. If your child is having surgery or is in the hospital, the IV line will stay in place.
In kids with anemia or those undergoing chemotherapy, the greatest benefit of a transfusion is increased blood flow to nourish the organs and improve oxygen levels in the body. This can keep them from feeling extreme fatigue and help give them enough energy for the activities of daily life. Benefits like this often are felt fairly quickly.
For patients with bleeding problems, transfusions with platelets or plasma can help to control or prevent bleeding complications.
Serious reactions to transfusions are rare, but as with any medical procedure, there are a few potential risks, which your doctor will review with you.
When your child is having any kind of procedure, it's understandable to be a little uneasy. But it helps to know that blood transfusions are common procedures and complications are rare. If you have any questions about transfusions, talk with your doctor.
