Devin Setoguchi and his failed shootout attempt
By: Adam Gretz
Erik Christensen is one of the best shootout participants in the NHL, and the Minnesota Wild probably could have used him on Thursday night in Montreal.
Christensen was a scratch for Minnesota's 5-4 loss -- a game that turned out to be a total gong show -- as the Wild ended up dropping the game in a shootout after overcoming a 4-1 deficit with less than four minutes to play in regulation.
Minnesota didn't score in the shootout, and after David Desharnais gave Montreal a 1-0 lead in the tiebreaking competition, all eyes focussed on Devin Setoguchi, the final shooter for the Wild. He needed to score to keep the game going, and ... well. Let's just say he didn't score.
Is this the worst shootout attempt ever? That's the question some will be asking, and while it's certainly in the discussion, we still have to keep in mind Dennis Wideman, then a member of the St. Louis Blues, and what is perhaps the most comical failed shootout attempt in the history of the event (Watch here).

Weekend Preview: Rangers get MSG debut do-over
The refurbished Madison Square Garden finally hosted a Rangers game on Thursday night, and it wasn't enough like old times for the fans. And I'm not talking about the $9.50 domestic beers.
No, the fans in attendance were longing for the old MSG, where Sean Avery delighted them on the ice. OK, maybe they were just longing for Avery.
There was also a banner hanging from the upper level earlier in the game in support of Avery. Mysteriously, it was gone later in the game. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the fan didn't have a change of heart midway through the game and took it down him/herself.
The case of Avery is an odd one. He is a player that all the teams in the NHL apparently don't want to touch with a 10-foot pole, including the Rangers, who sent him to the AHL's Connecticut Whale. If you ask 100 people to describe Avery the player in one word, the most flattering response you would receive is "agitator."
He's like a member of the Rangers family. Johnny Ranger fan can insult him all day long, just like I can call my brother a jerk (hypothetically, of course). But don't you even dare to call my brother a jerk. It's in the same vain. Avery might just be an ineffective player whose only role it seems is to piss opponents off, but he's THEIR ineffective player whose only role it seems is to piss opponents off. He's a fan favorite. His antics have gone over well in New York, clearly.
But honestly, this wouldn't be that big of a deal if the Rangers were playing better, specifically Avery's replacement, Kris Newbury. Sure, they are 3-3-2, but it has been less-than inspiring. This is a team that had a lot of hype after an offseason that saw them catch the biggest fish swimming in the free-agent lake. The combination of Brad Richards with Marian Gaborik would be gold, I tell you, gold. The Blueshirts would finally be able to give Henrik Lundqvist the kind of scoring support to show he is a Vezina-quality goaltender.
Well, it hasn't happened yet -- the scoring, not Lundqvist showing he is Vezina-quality. The Rangers offense has scored 16 goals in eight games. Even the mathematically challenged should easily recognize that as two goals per game, not very impressive.
"I've known [Gaborik] for a month now," Richards said. "It would be great if we'd come in here and click perfectly. Realistically, we have some work to do, and we've got to get to know each other on the ice. We're both used to having the puck. That's a work in progress, for sure."
"It's no secret that we have to put more pucks in the net," Ryan Callahan said after Thursday's game.
This has coach John Tortorella tweaking the lines, trying to find the right combinations. The pairing of Gaborik and Richards just hasn't produced yet the way they hoped. Gaborik was practicing on Friday with Wotjek Wolski and Erik Christensen on one line while Richards was with Brandon Dubinsky and Callahan on another.
It's under that backdrop that the Rangers welcome the Ottawa Senators to new-look MSG on Saturday. You know the Senators, the team most everybody saw as being the worst in the Eastern Conference this year but has surprised the masses by winning four games in a row? The plus side is that the Senators could be the team to jumpstart the typically sluggish Rangers offense. Ottawa has surrendered a league-high 39 goals in 10 games.
Let's look at that game as a second chance to make a first impression at home.
Scorer's delight
Speaking of that Rangers season debut at MSG, it was the Toronto Maple Leafs who spoiled the party with a 4-2 win in New York. With the victory they remained one of the surprising starters of the season, improving to 6-2-1.
But I pose this question: What's more surprising, Toronto starting so well thanks to Phil Kessel's nine goals, or Penguins forward James Neal being tied with Kessel for the league lead in goals scored? We'll have a chance to see them at the same time on Saturday when the Penguins visit the Leafs.
Normally, hearing that a Pittsburgh Penguins player leads the league in scoring doesn't come as a surprise. Rather, it is expected. But that's expected from guys named Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, not James Neal.
Which brings me to that trade from last February when the Penguins acquired Neal. Talk about one of those trades where both sides win. Well, let me rephrase; a trade where it looks like both sides came out well. I caution against calling winner and losers in a trade so soon. But Neal has obviously been producing for Pittsburgh as he seems capable of not only reaching his career-high 27 goals he had in 2009-10, but surpassing it. On the other end, Matt Niskanen and Alex Goligoski, while having very cool surnames, have both been good fits in Pittsburgh and Dallas.
As for the Leafs' sharpshooter Kessel? Well this is what they hoped for when Brian Burke made that trade a couple of years ago. Just for fun, I'd like to point out that Kessel is on pace for an 81-goal, 144-point season and a plus-45 at this time.
Big Z, Max meet ... again
Zdeno Chara and the Boston Bruins will be in Montreal on Saturday to pay a visit to the Canadiens. Obviously it's an anticipated reunion for some folks who are into that sort of thing.
Chara has already been back to Habs Town since his hit on Max Pacioretty late last season, the Bruins had to go through the Habs on their way to the Stanley Cup. But it will mark the first time Chara has faced Pacioretty in Montreal. OK, OK, we're stretching a bit. The Canadiens just beat the B's Thursday in Boston, so let's just say this one is about the game, shall we?
These are two struggling teams. Montreal got off to such a bad start, it was their worst in 70 years! It led to the firing of assistant coach Perry Pearn and since then, the Habs have reeled off two in a row, including one over the Bruins. Not that that had much if anything to do with Pearn's dismissal, but at least the Habs are showing signs of getting out of the early season doldrums.
For Boston, they have struggled too, although much more quietly. Interesting considering they are the defending champs and all. In a way this might have been expected. You hear all the time about the dreaded hangover, and that might be in play here. Either way, the Bruins are struggling to score.
The game is just like any other in an 82-game season, but this will quietly be an important one. These teams both want to get on track and in the Boston's case, a home-and-home sweep at the hands of the hated Habs wouldn't help in that regard. But for Montreal, it could help forgive much of the early struggles.
Best games, on paper
Entering the season, these two games appeared to be monster October showdowns: The Sharks visiting the Red Wings on Friday then the Capitals taking on the Canucks in Vancouver on Saturday. If you had to pick five preseason favorites to win the Stanley Cup, there's a good chance three or maybe all four of these teams would make that list.
The Sharks have been somewhat slow to start themselves, but seem to have flipped the switch and won three games in a row, all on the road. The Red Wings, on the other hand, began like gangbusters, but have since lost two games to the Caps and previously winless Blue Jackets. However these two are still titans and will be in the Western hunt all year and just might have another playoff battle lined up. (You might remember they played a great seven-game series last season.)
As for Capitals-Canucks? Well one team has played like a Cup contender and the other, well, the Cup contention seems like a long time ago now. Washington finally took its first loss in Edmonton on Thursday night after getting off to a franchise-record 7-0-0 start. Tomas Vokoun has been spectacular. If there has been anything to complain about up to this point, it's nitpicking.
Vancouver meanwhile has a hot mess of a goaltending situation at the moment. Starter Roberto Luongo is more than a hot topic in the city, a lot of the fans want him gone and would like to see Cory Schneider play. A victory over the Capitals, while not incredibly symbolic at this time of the season, would perhaps satisfy the fan base with the notion that things will be OK. Serenity now!
Somebody get him a compass
Ilya Bryzgalov, who is admittedly "lost in the woods" right now and appears to be a broken goalie, is slated to start Saturday night against the Carolina Hurricanes. He better find his way out of the woods in a hurry.
Since his first two starts of the season when he was stellar, Bryzgalov has been a mess, never worse than Thursday's five-goals-on-10-shots showing in "reprieve" of Sergei Bobrovsky. His best showing since those first two was when he gave up three goals to the Kings in an overtime loss. His numbers right now? Ugggly. Try an .870 save percentage and 3.45 GAA. Ouch.
So Peter Laviolette might have decided that what better way to get a goalie's broken confidence going once again than start him the next time out?
Either that or Lavy didn't want to put Bobrovsky back out there either.
Pregame trash talk
One of the great things about Twitter is the ability for players to interact with fans and other players for thousands to see. Ever wonder what players talk about before the puck is dropped in the faceoff circle? Twitter has helped give fans an idea.
But Anthony Stewart of the Carolina Hurricanes and Daniel Carcillo talking a little pregame smack on Twitter before Friday night's tilt? Yes please!
Carcillo (@CarBombBoom13) got it started with this: Goin 2 Carolina to throw a beat down on the Hurricanes and on@EhStew13 Just like in bantam when I'd drop u in buckets b4 pracy #indafaaace
Here was the response from Stewart (@EhStew13): You remembered u got Tko'd, keep the Bus in the Windy City, these 2 points aren't for sale #meh.
The short back-and-forth concluded with Carcillo: @EhStew13 we aren't lookin to buy #5fingerdiscount and I recall me havin to double shift in practice bc some1 had post concussion syndromes.
Good stuff. Guys having some playful smack (I'm assuming its playful) for all to see is good fun.
As to the game itself between the 'Hawks and 'Canes in Carolina? Well Chicago is looking for its first win in Raleigh since 1998. Granted there is unbalanced scheduling, but still, that's a long time. Also, Eric Staal needs to improve and that league-worst minus-9 he's sporting at the moment. Ouch.
Back to Vancouver ...
There will be no Green Men sitting by the opponent's box to torment Alex Ovechkin and crew. Vancouver's most famous fans will instead be ... in Bakersfield, Calif.?
Well look at that, the Green Men have turned their antics into appearances at hockey arenas. The Bakersfield Condors of the ECHL (originally from the WCHL) will have the spandex-wearing fans at their game on Friday night. Then Saturday will be Star Wars night.
I don't know about you all, but I'd rather see Star Wars night. Either way, these promotions are two big reasons why minor-league hockey is so awesome.

Daily Skate: another fresh start for Esposito
By: Adam Gretz
ESPOSITO GETS ANOTHER FRESH START There was a time prior to the 2007 Entry Draft when Angelo Esposito was projected to be one of the top picks (if not the top pick) after putting up monster numbers in the QMJHL while playing on a line next to Alexander Radulov with the Quebec Remparts. By the time draft day came around his stock had fallen (due in part to declining production) to the point where he wasn't selected until late in the first-round by the Pittsburgh Penguins with the 20th overall pick. Within a year, Esposito's value continued to fall and he was packaged in a trade to Atlanta, along with Colby Armstrong, Erik Christensen and a first-round pick, in exchange for Marian Hossa and Pascal Dupuis at the NHL's trade deadline. It was a deal that was supposed to help re-build the Thrashers, but ultimately came up empty. Very empty. Armstrong and Christensen have already left the organization and the first-round pick (Daultan Leveille) has yet to play a pro game. On Saturday, the Jets organization (which was the Thrashers organization until a month ago) officially parted ways with Esposito, sending him to the Florida Panthers in exchange for Kenndal McArdle. Esposito has spent parts of the past three seasons in the AHL, having scored just three goals to go with 14 assists in 70 games.
PANTHERS ACQUIRE TWO OTHERS Along with the Esposito acquisition the Panthers made two other small moves on Saturday, acquiring forward Sergei Shirokov from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for forward Mike Duco. The team also picked up Keith Seabrook from the Calgary Flames for Jordan Henry. Shirokov has appeared in eight NHL games in his career, scoring one goal. Seabrook, 22, spent the 2010-11 season split between the Abbotsford Heat and Manitoba Moose of the AHL.
LUNDIN SIGNS WITH Wild The Minnesota Wild signed free agent defenseman Mike Lundin to a one-year contract on Saturday. He spent the past four years with the Tampa Bay Lightning after being selected in the fourth-round by the team in 2004.
HULSIZER INTERESTED IN Blues? After withdrawing his offer to purchase the Phoenix Coyotes, Matthew Hulsizer has reportedly set his sights on becoming the owner of the St. Louis Blues. David Shoalts of the Globe and Mail has the story.

Insane Intersection Will Have You at the Edge of Your Seat [Video]
I would be lying if I said this video didn't remind me of this past weekend in downtown Grand Rapids.
I would be lying if I said this video didn't remind me of this past weekend in downtown Grand Rapids.
Eastbound I-94 is currently closed near Exit 66 in Mattawan following a crash involving several semi-trucks and other vehicles.
Possibly the only not great thing about spring is that it marks the beginning of pothole and road construction season in West Michigan.
The City of Grand Rapids announced Monday that a major intersection in Grand Rapids will close for two weeks in April:
The corner of Michigan Street and Fuller Avenue NE will be getting a full concrete overhaul.
Filming for the movie "The End Of The Tour" could cause some traffic problems along I-196 on Thursday.
A crew for "The End of the Tour" will be filming on the 196 between Fuller Ave. and Lake Michigan Dr. between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. West Michigan M-DOT has indicated that there will be some lane closure, and that at the least, traffic will be moving slower.
Construction projects are all around West Michigan. It's just the beginning of a long summer of slowdowns.
If you're heading north this weekend, there's at least one construction zone to consider avoiding.
As water levels begin to recede in West Michigan, more roads and bridges are opening to traffic.
View an interactive map of road closures in Grand Rapids and make your commute as quick and safe as possible.
Tax day headaches are going to turn into migraines for some West Michigan commuters.
A major construction project begins on 131 in Grand Rapids on April 15.
A major construction project on 28th Street has begun. The project is not expected to be done until November 22.
Some drivers are growing impatient, taking shortcuts, and getting tickets.
Blinking yellow arrows are showing up in intersections across Michigan - they were designed to increase safety and efficiency, but I'm still a little confused how these will help.

Your right MCT, thanks for keeping an eye on the short interest totals...it is appreciated.
Went back and read your explanation MCT and don't buy it. Best possible scenario for the warrant holders would be a much higher share price. There's no way I would be shorting MCZ now with all the catalysts coming up. Can they short with impunity, I suppose so but it just doesn't make sense.
MCT maybe I'm missing something but why on earth would warrant holders short shares? That just doesn't make any $ense.
no bad news that you know of...
b_fr_nk you have a legit beef but I believe some have been around here more than you and see a nice shoring up of the books since Karens' been hired. DR either didn't care or didn't have a clue when it came to the accounting aspect of the company. The financing deal was a necessary evil at the time but it is mostly behind us now. Time for us to move up...way up.
Believe the numbers!!!
just bought some RF at $8.96...Good Luck
Good call on FNFG Commandor...Congrats

We also have to make sure these regional banks have no oil exposure loans on their books.
for these slumping stocks don't we have to beware of EOQ window dressing than EOY window dressing?
You've made one post in your lifetime william and that's the best you can come up with...no Commandor is not Singer. Where do you come up with such nonsense?
Why worry about the warrants at .61 when the stocks trading at .60. I wouldn't even think about cashing them in until .90...if even then.
thelost60mm FYI Commandor is "one of the best investors out there". All you've had to do was follow him over the years to understand that.
The answer was no. Trading at a little over book value this undiscovered stock is owned by four value funds and will soon be owned by growth funds after tomorrows conference...Good Luck
would they presenting if they were to come out with bad news tonight?
better yet thelost60mm whom do you work for? Especially considering you've only become a member since Sept 9th and have only made one post.
I agree with you Hier...hopefully Catz can make us all rich.
Congrats BSI and thanks again for running the contest.

SOLEDAD, California — Officials say the death of a child molester at a prison on California's Central Coast is a homicide.
Corrections officials said Thursday that 45-year-old Pedro Aguilar was found dead in his Salinas Valley State Prison cell on Monday.
He was serving a life term from Ventura County for lewd acts with a child under 14 years old.
The Associated Press reported in February that sex offenders account for a disproportionate number of homicide victims in California prisons.
Officials say Aguilar's cellmate, who is serving a life sentence for murder, is suspected in the slaying. Monterey County officials are continuing to investigate.
They did not disclose how Aguilar died.
The prison located in Soledad houses about 3,700 inmates 140 miles southeast of San Francisco.

Dulles Airport Operator Sells Bonds for New Metro Line
(Corrects spelling of Loudoun County starting in fifth paragraph.)
May 12 (Bloomberg) -- Travelers arriving at Dulles International Airport in northern Virginia will have a new option to get to downtown Washington -- a direct transit line, partly financed by municipal bonds this week.
The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, which operates Dulles and its Eero Saarinen-designed terminal, is selling $450 million in revenue bonds May 14 that retire short-term notes issued last year for the Silver Line rail expansion, said Chief Financial Officer Andy Rountree.
The $5.7 billion project will extend the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority's 106-mile Metrorail system by 23.1 miles (37 kilometers).
"It's a great project that will serve the nation's capital," Rountree said. "It'll connect two counties in a major way and the international airport serving the region to a rail system."
The federal government, Virginia, the state's Loudoun and Fairfax counties, and the airport authority are financing the venture, bond documents show. The debt offered this week is backed by levies on the Dulles Toll Road, which the authority runs in addition to Dulles and Reagan National Airport. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2018, Rountree said.
Busy Roads
Before the sale, the authority had $1.3 billion of bonds outstanding, according to offering documents. The new securities are rated BBB+, eighth-highest investment grade, by Standard & Poor's, which said "the socioeconomic and development trends in the corridor and metropolitan area provide the underlying demand for traffic in the corridor." Between 2000 and 2010, Loudoun County's population grew 84 percent, bond documents show.
Securities issued by toll roads and turnpikes are earning 6.9 percent this year, outpacing the 5.7 percent return of the $3.7 trillion market, Bank of America Merrill Lynch indexes show.
The Washington authority joins issuers offering $3.5 billion in bonds this week, down from $4.7 billion last week.

Comments about 'Airport TRAX line won't have operating hours to serve all flights'

Before spending $351 Million dollars, why wasn't this fixed? With this money we could have provided 7 Million cab rides instead, but that wouldn't fit the UTA narrative of building "trophy" projects at the taxpayers expense. This way, they can justify the high salaries of the UTA Executives.

I hate to break it to you Obama10, 7 Million cab rides would be 3.5 Million
people trips since each person would need to take the cab twice, once to the
airport and once away from the airport.
If the low estimate of 5000 riders per day take this train, that is more than 1.6 Million trips per year. Or in simple math, 2 years worth of cab rides.
Now, if the high estimate of 15,000 were to happen, that is less than 1 year of cab rides.
So, it seems to me that this is money well spent.
Like with the streetcar, development will happen along North Temple, that will increase ridership as well as property values. People need to stop thinking about what it is currently like and think 15 to 30 years ahead.
If we don't plan ahead for our transportation needs in the future, the economy will stop as traffic continues to worsen. You can only build so many roads before you run out of room. Without Trax, would people be advocating for double and triple layered I-15? Now imagine that cost...

They spend $350 million dollars and yet, we taxpayers pick up part of the fare for everyone that rides the train. I would have no objections to the rail systems if the riders paid the full fare. I can't ride the trains because there is no practical way to get from my house to work and not only do I have to pay my full fare, I have to pay fuel taxes as well. And to make matters worse, we have an express lane to placate the environmentalists that only increases congestion and therefore, increases pollution.

"[T]he flaw at the heart of our country is not just geological."
Confronting New Madrid (Part 1): In the winter of 1811-12, the New Madrid fault in southern Missouri triggered a series of earthquakes in so powerful they altered the course of the Mississippi River and rang church bells as far away as Philadelphia... and we still don't fully understand why. A similar quake today is estimated to be the costliest disaster in US History.

The City's shiny new toy.
San Francisco City Hall peacocks for its birthday (SLYT) in front of tens of thousands, including the US Conference of Mayors. The projection system will be a permanent donation, complimenting its elaborate LED lighting, used to celebrate holidays, Pride Month, sports victories, etc. The building was completed in time for 1915's Panama Pacific Exposition, and features the 5th largest classical dome in the world, surpassing the US Capitol. A retrofit made it the world's largest base-isolated building, while the grand dome was restored with $500,000 worth of gold foil. The new lighting, combined with the Bay Lights and other projects, have prompted discussion about creating an annual festival of lights.
Mixed Traffic
Originally proposed to American audiences in a 2011 video, Dutch-style Protected Intersections have recently gained traction in the US as an effective means to protect cyclists and pedestrians in busy intersections. Four such intersections are under construction in the US; a similar intersection opened in Canada last year; and more are certain to follow, as protected bike lanes become commonplace in American cities.

Big and Weird: The Architectural Genius of Bjarke Ingels and Thomas Heatherwick
The vision outlined in these documents, an application for a major expansion of the Googleplex, its campus, is mind-boggling. The proposed design, developed by the European architectural firms of Bjarke Ingels Group and Heatherwick Studio, does away with doors. It abandons thousands of years of conventional thinking about walls. And stairs. And roofs. Google and its imaginative co-founder and chief executive, Larry Page, essentially want to take 60 acres of land adjacent to the headquarters near the San Francisco Bay, in an area called North Bayshore, and turn it into a titanic human terrarium.[more inside]

Sleep Well Tonight, Crosswalk Stripes Have Been Banned
As poverty moves to the suburbs, criminalization of walking intensifies. "Jaywalking" was the reason Michael Brown was first accosted, it is the offense that nearly sent a mother to jail for vehicular homicide when a drunk driver killed her child.
"Walking around a city will never be the same"
[more inside]We want our tools to sing of not just productivity but of our love of curiosity, the joy of wonderment, and the freshness of the unknown. —Eric Paulos, "Manifesto of Open Disruption and Participation"In his essay "Walking in the City," the French scholar Michel de Certeau talks about the "invisible identities of the visible." He is talking specifically about the memories and personal narratives associated with a location. Until recently, this information was only accessible one-to-one—that is, by talking to people who had knowledge of a place. But what if that data became one-to-many, or even many-to-many, and easily accessible via some sort of street-level interface that could be accessed manually, or wirelessly using a smartphone?
Seattle's unbelievable transportation megaproject fustercluck
Seattle's unbelievable transportation megaproject fustercluck — "In short: There is no plan to resolve the dispute over cost overruns, which are ubiquitous on projects like this; at $4.2 billion, it's the most expensive transportation project in state history. The tunnel will have no exits - no ingress or egress - throughout the entire downtown core (which makes the support of downtown businesses all the more mystifying). It won't allow transit, only cars. It will be tolled, highly enough, by the state's own estimates, to drive nearly half its traffic onto the aforementioned side streets. It will be a precarious engineering feat, the widest deep-bore tunnel in history, digging right between a) Puget Sound and b) the oldest part of Seattle, with vulnerable buildings and God-knows-what buried infrastructure. Also: Pollution. Climate change. It's the 21st f'ing century. On and on. People said all this and more, in real time, to no avail." [more inside]

Two Danish visitors in car-centric Canada

Empty Houses in Spain
The Spanish housing boom goes bust. "Some 65km from Madrid, in the quintessentially Spanish heart of a country riven by competing regional identities, Valdeluz – the notorious ciudad fantasma (ghost town) of the crisis – was conceived at the height of what is sometimes called Spain's economic miracle. In a Catholic nation, whose faith has declined substantially during its three decades of democracy, there is an increasing reluctance to believe in miracles of any kind."

Urban Inclusivity: Women's Mobility in the City
What does a city for women look like? "In the city for women, a woman can sit alone in parks, linger, run, jog, without much diminished fear at any time of the day. Women too can be flaneurs and have the right to loiter. Rather than just prioritise safety and freedom from harassment, women can prioritise speed and convenience of mobility. Women's mobility is not just about getting from point A to B, but also about social mobility. Greater physical mobility for women is conducive for social mobility and self-actualisation."

Living in a Fool's Paradise
San Francisco must change. "...the current state of permitting regulations for building and the glacial pace of infrastructure projects in San Francisco benefit very few people and risk turning it into a caricature of its former self for tourists and residents rich enough to live in a fantasy, not a living city. If there was ever a time when San Francisco needed to embrace a dynamic, expansive policy for building housing, offices and transportation, it is now." (Previously: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.)

The Light that will Be
After Michael Mann set out to direct Collateral, the story's setting moved from New York to Los Angeles. This decision was in part motivated by the unique visual presence of the city — especially the way it looked at night. Mann shot a majority of the film in HD (this was 2004), feeling the format better captured the city's night lighting. Even the film's protagonist taxi needed a custom coat to pick up different sheens depending on the type of artificial lighting the cab passed beneath. That city, at least as it appears in Collateral and countless other films, will never be the same again. L.A. has made a vast change-over to LED street lights, with New York City not far behind.

Bringing water back to light
A hundred years ago streams got in the way of urban planning so people covered them up. Today towns and cities are looking to bring these streams back into light thus reducing flood risks, improving water quality, and revitalising neighbourhoods.
Forensic Topology
Forensic Topology. "In his 2003 memoir Where The Money Is: True Tales from the Bank Robbery Capital of the World, co-authored with Gordon Dillow, retired Special Agent William J. Rehder briefly suggests that the design of a city itself leads to and even instigates certain crimes—in Los Angeles's case, bank robberies. Rehder points out that this sprawling metropolis of freeways and its innumerable nondescript banks is, in a sense, a bank robber's paradise. Crime, we could say, is just another way to use the city."

Maybe go back to Rockville after all...
Montgomery County MD, a wealthy, sprawling suburban county outside of Washington DC - its blandess famously mocked by REM's ("Don't Go Back to Rockville.) - is moving towards adopting some of the most progressive and potentially transformational approaches to suburban/urban planning in the US. Driving the change is a concern that young, creative millenials are no longer interested in moving out to the suburbs.
