Smart solutions to Nairobi traffic
COMPUTING| May 11, 2012, 12:17 p.m.
A team of IBM experts assigned to Nairobi today provided a cohesive framework and roadmap to the city to improve the flow of road traffic and increase revenues from the transportation sector.
The recommendations complement Nairobi's considerable ongoing investment in underlying roadway infrastructure. They include making traffic information more readily available to citizens, motorists, police, policymakers and planners so that better transportation decisions can be made in the near and far term.
The blueprint presented by the IBM team also includes suggestions for using available technologies, including mobile phones, sensors and closed-circuit television, to more automatically pinpoint traffic issues. In the recommended plan, parking and licensing would also be digitized and automated -- streamlining bureaucratic processes and increasing citizen satisfaction. In addition, the plan prescribes enhanced collaboration between various transport bodies.
The IBM team, which performed several months of preparation before spending three weeks in local residence, studiedNairobi's transportation system as part of an IBM Smarter Cities Challenge grant valued at Sh33 million (USD400,000), announced in March of this year.
"A city is a system of systems. One key finding of the study is that technology could provide a relatively simple way of bringing together existing systems to streamline the city's transport sector and increase revenues for the government," said Tony Mwai, Country General Manager, IBM East Africa.
Despite impressive investments in building road networks, inefficiencies within the city's transport sector cost Nairobi an estimated Sh50 million per day, negating revenues and commercial benefits from otherwise significant road infrastructure, and limiting the region's economic growth.
"The government has made immense investments in infrastructure over the last 10 years but we are challenged by the fact that many departments within government are working in isolation and not collaborating," said Dr. Bitange Ndemo, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Information and Communications.
"We will review these recommendations made by the IBM team with a view to fast-tracking them to help maintain Nairobi's position as a key regional economic hub," Dr. Ndemo said.
The team of IBM consultants recommended the creation of a cross-departmental Smarter Transportation Authority that would harness initiatives taking place across government agencies under a single unit.
This would allow for faster rollout of decongestion plans, enhancing revenue collection for government agencies and tightening enforcement of traffic rules.
In addition, the IBM consultants advised the development of a Smarter Transportation Platform with an intelligent operations command center, leveraging existing and new closed-circuit television networks that show vehicle, traffic and roadway conditions as events unfold.
Enabling stakeholders such as citizens and police to view these video feeds online would lead to a decrease in traffic congestion by allowing commuters to plan their trips accordingly and police to allocate manpower more efficiently.
Another suggestion was to integrate data from multiple sources, including mobile phone signals generated from citizens stuck in traffic jams, to pin-point traffic hot-spots. Analytics software could then be used to predict future flow issues, pushing the information needed to re-direct traffic to the intelligent operations center.
The team also suggested digitizing parking for the speed and ease of finding parking spaces, to minimize congestion and to reduce environmental impact as well as using mobile devices to empower traffic police to monitor and manage traffic offenders through an intelligent enforcement solution.
The team's findings follow the recent launch of an IBM research report titled "A Vision of a Smarter City: How Nairobi Can Lead the Way into a Prosperous and Sustainable Future," which highlights transportation, energy and public safety as three critical areas that the city must address in order to boost its economic competitiveness.
Nairobi beat 140 other cities around the world to become one of IBM's Smarter Cities Challenge winners in March. Launched in 2011, the IBM initiative is a three-year, 100-city USD50 million program and is IBM's single-largest philanthropic outreach.
Along with the deployment of a specialist team of expert consultants who focus on the city's primary challenge, IBM provides special assistance to each winning city on the use of City Forward (http://www.cityforward.org), a free online site IBM created with public policy experts. Citizens, elected officials and urban planners can use the site to explore trends and statistics in a visual and accessible way, which can be adapted for the examination of any number of urban issues -- leading to better decision making.
"Nairobi demonstrated a desire to set an example for other municipalities, an eagerness to collaborate with multiple stakeholders, and a strong commitment to consider implementing recommendations the city felt would be the most feasible and beneficial to its residents," said Stanley S. Litow, IBM vice president of Corporate Citizenship & Corporate Affairs, and President of IBM's Foundation.

Megan's outfits continue to steal the show style-wise, but the return of Betty presents a respectable challenge. Hello structured muu muus!
1. Megan's pleated purple patterned party dress.
2. And her evening makeup (even though she didn't need to look this sexy when she wore it).
3. Dawn's simple striped shirtdress.
4. Megan's boatneck top and long necklace.
5. Betty's structured, Pepto-Bismol-colored house muu muu.
6. Peggy's simple, boyish blouses.

I love their live chat. It helps me find exactly what I need everytime. Very helpful.
The best part of Global Industrial is its wide variety of products. Ordinarily having so many products on a singular website would prompt mass confusion for the average consumer, but for this company, that is not the case. With a helpful and convenient Shop Categories menu at the top, you can easily navigate the site, finding anything from lighting to furniture in a few quick seconds. Immediately after searching your first item, the site also generates an Items You Might Be Interested In section, similar to Amazon and other companies. In addition to the wide selection, the prices on each item are reasonable and can help you save a large amount of money. This is truly a company that is all about the consumer, providing email offers, 24/7 assistance, and quick ordering for those who want to shop quickly.
Looked all over for odd sized light bulbs and found them here for much less than other online stores. Ordering was easy, delivery very fast. Would rate the transaction as excellent. The only little small hiccup was I had to order a dozen bulbs minimum so the bulbs will probably outlast the light fixture...but the price was of a dozen was the same as order four bulbs at other stores. I was worth it.

Woo hoo--2 weeks streak! Legs are tired and achy but I'll do 75 minutes of yoga and hopefully walk on the beach with P unless he's feeling too tired and down.
Yesterday (day 12) I did stretch/yoga/balance first thing for 15 minutes, and I walked 13,412 steps.
Today so far (8am PT) I've done about 25 minutes of weight machines emphasizing legs and core, followed by a 45 minute spin class.
20 minutes on elliptical; 20 minutes weights; 10 minutes stretching and balancing on one foot
12 minutes first thing
Yea, one full week behind me--today starts week 2. It was a good idea to take it easy yesterday as I feel much more energetic today and not as sore. In my first week--in addition to the 10 minutes/day--I took 2 spin classes (one really intense), walked over 25 miles, pushed weights 3 times.
For day 8, I've already done the 10 minutes yoga/stretching, heading out shortly to HBC for weights and spin class.

My second pair of these... I liked the first pair so much I bought another 12 months later. Comfortable, stylish, smart... good with jeans or chinos. Good.
- Rajendra Khetani
really great pair of shoes. Provide a great smart casual look.
- Lorraine Graham
Bought these on the off chance my husband would like them and they went down a treat. Perfect for a night out.
- Ashley Blakeston
A great shoe but they were too tight for me to keep them. I'm a 12 and they are not available in a bigger size, so had to be returned. Would definitely recommend, although maybe go for a size bigger than you usually would.
- Simon Williams
Great feel and comfortable shoe glad I chose these, even my 18 year old is trying to borrow. Customer care and delivery from SCHUH was fantastic best I,ve had with any internet order and i had them delivered at no extra cost within a 24 hour window.

Following the birth of my last child, who turned 9 this week (!), I became very ill and spent the next months fighting for my life. I was determined to see my children grow up and I prayed that God would allow me to be here with them. I finally managed to get out of the hospital, but was in and out for the next two years and have been very sick since then. I have a lot of physical problems now so I sit a lot. Recently I was feeling sorry for myself and how I can no longer take the children on field trips, go outside and play ball, run around the park with them, etc. The self-pity was accomplishing nothing so I decided to find SOMETHING I could do with the kids while I sat on the couch! I had always wanted to make quilts and it seemed like a good time to start so that's what we did. :) Now I'm working on a quilt for each of my five children and they're actually making their own as well. I had never heard of Poppy Seed Fabrics before, but after I read your blog and looked through them, I saw very quickly what I love the most about them... they have universal appeal. The colors are vibrant and beautiful and the patterns are full of variety that I know my children will like as much as I do. I'm not sure how to enter the contest exactly, but I would LOVE to have some of the fabric to use for the quilts we're making. We've gotten most of our fabric thus far from old clothes at the thrift store so these would add much beauty to our projects. Thanks!
I'm loving the chevrons at the moment - I think they would be a great blender to mix in with other bright colours.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (February 27, 1807 March 24, 1882) was an American poet who wrote many works that are still famous today, including The Song of Hiawatha, Paul Revere's Ride and Evangeline. He also wrote the first American translation of Dante Alighieri's Inferno and was one of the five members of the group known as the Fireside Poets. Born in Maine, Longfellow lived for most of his life in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in a house occupied during the American Revolution by General George Washington and his staff.

Making traditional porchetta requires using an entire pig, de-boning it and cleaning out the innards before spit-roasting it overnight -- but a small-scale method can yield similar results in much less time. To mimic the crispy, herb-infused meat, chefs can stuff thick pork chops with the herb paste and sear them in a skillet before placing in the oven to finish cooking.

The popularity of speed dating is proof positive: people enjoy the sweaty-palmed feeling of being sized-up by a stranger so much that they figure, Why limit myself to only once in a night? Following that logic, the Van Alen Institute is offering young designers the same opportunity to offer themselves up to a critical appraisal multiple times in a row: Their second round of Design Speed Dating is scheduled for Saturday, September 11. Accepted applicants will rotate around a series of professional designers and critics, spending a half hour with each one and receiving constructive feedback on their portfolios. Interested? The Van Alen Institute is seeking emerging talents through an open call.

Open House New York Needs You!
Thursday, August 26, 2010
Katherine Lindstedt.
Habitues of the New York architecture scene have long looked forward to Open House New York, the annual weekend in October when the doors to New York's secret spaces are thrown open in a citywide celebration of architecture and design. Well, now it's time to return the favor. The 8th Annual OHNY Weekend is seeking volunteers to help at this year's upcoming event on October 9 and 10. Volunteers would assist any one of the weekend's many programs, which include organized tours of spaces open to the public for the weekend, as well as site-specific dance and music performances and dialogues with architects, designers, and scholars. In years past, venues have included the High Bridge Water Tower, the Grand Lodge of Masons on 23rd Street, and the Eldridge Street Synagogue, along with architects' offices, residential interiors, and sundry other venues across the five boroughs. The volunteer shifts will be approximately four hours long, but depend upon the assigned site's open house schedule, and attendance at one of two training sessions (offered on Sept. 21 and 25) is required.
Sukkahs, Homeless Shelter Coming to Union Square
In less than a month, a dozen sukkahs will descend on Union Square, part of the first annual Sukkah City celebration, a modern take on an ancient Jewish structure/holiday thought up by writer Joshua Foer and Reboot founder Roger Bennett. We first revealed the project back in the spring, and now the winning sukkahs have been selected. We spoke with Foer about the entrants, the process, and the winners, a few of which we even managed to scare up (though the rest are being saved for a certain newspaper in another square uptown).

New York, Here is Your New Skyline
UPDATE: Council Speaker Christine Quinn, in whose district the project is located, gave her strong support for it at a press conference before today's meeting of the City Council. More below.
The battle for the soul of New York—or at least for its skyline—was over before it even really began. The City Council Land Use Committee just voted in favor of Vornado's roughly 1,200-foot, Pelli Clarke Pelli-designed 15 Penn Plaza, apparently unswayed by complaints from the owner of the Empire State Building, Anthony Malkin, that it would ruin views of his iconic tower, and thus the city as a whole. In fact, the issue of the skyline barely even came up, and when it did, the council members, who voted 19-1 for the tower, essentially said New York must build to remain great. "I think it's a project the city needs," said Councilman Daniel Holleran, a Staten Island Republican. The bigger issue, by far, than the dueling towers was that of who would build 15 Penn Plaza, namely MWBEs. Read More
Mexico City Design on the Menu at Brooklyn Taqueria
Friday, August 20, 2010
William Menking.
The restaurant La Superior in Williamsburg, Brooklyn is small place with very high standards. Not only does it have the best tacos and salsa in the five boroughs, but its low-cost décor features design elements by Mexican engineer/designer Ricardo Cid that are as exciting as the food. Cid, from Mexico City, claims he always wanted to be an artist but one that used "different and more complicated tools and calculations," so he studied engineering at Mexico City's UNAM. The university gave Cid a research grant, and he used the money to move to New York City and begin an independent research practice focusing on "old and lost methods of Mexican manufacturing," and adapting them to new materials when the old ones could not be found.

Sidewalk Sipping with Sadik-Khan at NYC Pop-Up Cafe
Sidewalk cafes have long been a popular feature of New York City dining, but many restaurants' sidewalks are too narrow to set out tables and chairs without violating city code. Offering a solution to this spatial problem, on August 12 the Department of Transportation (DOT) unveiled its first "pop-up cafe" in Lower Manhattan—an 84-foot-long and 6-foot-wide wooden platform with planters, wire railing, 14 cafe tables, and 50 chairs—as the agency's latest move to reclaim road space for public use.

Save Our Skyline, Begs Empire State Building
Wednesday, August 18, 2010
Matt Chaban.
We know hackers and preservationists are staunchly opposed to Vornado's 15 Penn Plaza, because the 1,216-foot Pelli Clarke Pelli-designed tower would replace McKim Mead & White's notable-if-not-renowned Hotel Pennsylvania. Anthony Malkin, president of Malkin Holdings, is also not a fan for the simple reason that Malkin Holdings is holding the Empire State Building. And its views would most likely be compromised by 15 Penn Plaza. Malkin is now speaking out against the project, under the aegis of a group calling itself Friends of the New York City Skyline, a posse which also includes MAS, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and the Landmarks Conservancy. It may be too little, too late. Read More
Flooding the Unisphere Once Again
Monday, August 16, 2010
Matt Chaban.
For the first time in 15 years, the Unisphere, one of the '64 World's Fair's numerous icons, is back on, its fountain at full force thanks to a $2 million renovation funded by the Queens Borough President and the city. Designed by landscape architect Gilmore D. Clarke, the fountain is, as Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe puts it, part of the city's Versailles that is Flushing Meadows. While not quite the Lincoln Center fountain, we'd still sit here any day and enjoy some Belgian waffles, which a press release informs us were served at Thursday's rechristening, having been a favorite at the Fair.
Columbia Builds Holl-y Hell in Inwood
Wednesday, August 11, 2010
Matt Chaban.
Can Columbia build anything without causing a ruckus? There is, of course, the famous gym proposed for Riverside Park that triggered the 1968 riots, and more recently the huge fight over its 17-acre Manhattanville expansion. Now the Times is reporting a "teapot-size storm" surrounding the university's proposal to build a new athletic center within its complex in Inwood. According to the Gray Lady, the issues are the same as anywhere in Manhattan: light, views, and context. "It does not relate well to the community," said Gail Addiss, 61, an architect who lives opposite Baker Field. "It's similar to Frank Gehry architecture — large metal things whose glare is going to cause more brightness to reflect into people's windows."
Morris-Sato Stunner for Sale
Is it a good sign or a bad one for real estate that all these spiffy homes are for sale? And what does it say about high-end, name-checking architecture? Most recently, we noted a notable Eric Owen Moss home up for sale, and now our good friend and frequent contributor Alexandra Lange notified us (how else—via Twitter) that the stunning YN-13 House designed by Morris-Sato Studio, which she highlighted in her summer homes feature last year, is now up for sale. At the time, she wrote, "the one thing the YN-13 House is not is a cookie-cutter, shingles-on-steroids McMansion." Corcoran, in its listing for the Shelter Island stead, puts it this way: "Inspired by the historic homes of Kyoto, Japan, this unique architecturally designed residence combines artful living with uncommon functionality. The clean lines and meticulous detailing and construction throughout infuse the light filled spacious home with remarkable serenity and grace." They're currently asking $4.195 million. Read More
Brutalism On the Small Screen
Quick! Name that Building!
That's right, it's time for another round of our favorite game. You can probably name the architect, thanks to the ribbons of his signature corduroy concrete, to say nothing of the cantilevered passageways and swooping staircases. So it's Paul Rudolph. But which of his masterworks? It's not a famous one, so you'll probably never guess. Okay, you got it. It's the Hurley Building of his Government Service Center in Boston. It's an impressive star turn for an architect whose buildings haven't faired so well of late. And yet it's good to know that when those Madison Avenue Fatcats still need a structure to shoot on that screams hip futurism, Rudolph's the go-to guy. Dude's still got it. Read More

LAPORTE COUNTY | A Valparaiso man was killed Saturday in a single-vehicle crash outside Michigan City.
Luqman Oda, 32, of 76 E. U.S. 6, was pronounced dead at the scene by LaPorte County Chief Deputy Coroner Mark Huffman, who said Oda died of massive internal injuries.
Police on Monday said Oda was intoxicated with a blood alcohol concentration nearly three times the legal limit.
Police said Oda was southbound on County Road 525 West near Warnke Road early Saturday.
The investigation shows he was traveling too fast to negotiate a curve and veered into the northbound lane before leaving the roadway.
His car struck a fence then a tree head-on.
Police said Oda and a front seat passenger, Mohammed Lakhani, were ejected from the 1997 Honda Civic, which sustained heavy front end damage.
"It was a large tree," said Huffman.
Lakhani, 36, of Anaheim, Calif., was transported to Franciscan St. Anthony Health in Michigan City with a hip injury.
He was later taken by ambulance to Memorial Hospital in South Bend, police said.
Lakhani told investigators Oda was driving fast as soon as they left Oda's brother's house on their way to Gary.

Well, hate to tell you fellow Muppet-fans... I've got some news about the Muppet Holding Co., the part of the Walt Disney Co. that controls the Muppets. As of a few weeks ago, all the Muppet's new projects, including the America's Next Muppet Mini-series are on hold. The new head of the Walt Disney Company, Bob Iger not only put the projects on hold, but reduced the staff of Muppet Holding Co. in half. Still not sure if this is a re-organizational move or something else. Now that I think about it, the plans they originaly had to reintroduce Kermit and Co. to the public did seem way to slow, spread out over several years in fact, when they showed them to some of us Disney Cast Memebers in July this year. Those of us that work at Jim Henson's Muppet*vision 3D @ DCA in Anaheim hear all the time from our guests that the public really wants to see more of the Muppets now, not two or three or even four years from now! heard the story from official sources as well.October 21 2005 at 2:53 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply

I wish they'd bring back Muppets Tonight. It was an updated version of The Muppet Show that came out in 1995. Sadly it only lasted a short time. But I loved it so much as I loved the original. I really wish it had lasted. If they really did re-remake the show, I'd watch it. I love the Muppets.September 16 2005 at 8:10 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
