The latest installment in Roger Norrington's Bruckner cycle with the Stuttgart RSO is the 9th, recorded in July 2010 and released by Hänssler Classic in 2012. It is interesting to consider this latest recording in the context of its four predecessors, which like the 9th are all live concert recordings (although the 9th appears to be drawn from two separate performances on consecutive days). Norrington has a remarkably unified approach to Bruckner. The principal features of Norrington's Bruckner are the absence of vibrato, very brisk tempi, and an unorthodox approach to editions.
It is particularly in the 4th that Norrington goes against conventional wisdom in his choice of editions. He records the 1874 original version in the 1975 Nowak edition. Norrington is proselytizing. He seems convinced that the original version is to be preferred. Certainly there's no sense that we are being treated primarily to a historical curiosity (which the impression that comes across in the rather apologetic program notes for Kent Nagano's 2007 recording with the Bavarian State Opera Orchestra – Sony Classics SACD 88697368812). In fact, Norrington makes a convincing case for the 1874 edition, which is far more appropriately labeled "Romantic" than the far more widely performed and recorded 1878/1880 version. Bruckner subsequently discarded the scherzo, even though it more closely echoes the first movement than its successor, the Hunt scherzo. The rhythmically complex finale has great forward momentum and a driving pulse. Norrington plays it Allegro, rather than Nowak's Allegro Moderato. I have to say that I found the 4th by far the most satisfying of the performances reviewed here.
The 3rd Symphony is also played in its original version (1873), firmly placed on the map by Inbal's well-known recording with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony (Apex CD 25646 00052). The performance reveals some of the advantages of Norrington's avoidance of vibrato. The Adagio is very clean, with the absence of vibrato opening up some of the finer grain of Bruckner's orchestration. At the same time, though, we see an unintended consequence of the approach. In the program notes, Norrington emphasizes that Bruckner is not "the quasi-religious abstraction we are sometimes given". But Bruckner's slow movements without vibrato do tend to sound quasi-religious and the Adagio of the 3rd is a case in point – rather cold and austere. The finale, with its juxtaposition of polka and prayer, is more successful.
The least successful performance for me was the 7th. Here Norrington's brisk tempi really do interfere with the architecture and dramatic shaping of the symphony. He sprints through the symphony in just a little over 54 minutes – the fastest recording of the 1885 edition that I could find. At 15'08" the opening Allegro Moderato loses a huge part of its lyrical and elegiac dimensions. The Adagio (just over 19 minutes) is much less monumental, and more uniform in mood than the most successful performances. The scherzo works well, though, as does the finale.
Extremely brisk tempi are also present in the 6th, which is the fastest in Berky's discography. But here they seem less damaging, and indeed, Norrington gives the Adagio, one of Bruckner's most profound, its due. The scherzo (surely Bruckner's least Brucknerian scherzo) is very successful, with the details of the orchestration emerging very clearly. The finale, which features another polka, is taken very quickly, but the music lends itself to a mad rush.
And so, finally, to the 9th. This performance reveals the strengths of Norrington's approach far more than the weaknesses. The opening initially sounds eerie without vibrato, but when one gets used to it one can appreciate Norrington's attention to detail, and how clearly it emerges without the acoustic distraction of vibrato. Likewise the absence of vibrato allows Bruckner's dissonances to stand out cleanly. The dissonant climax in the finale is particularly effective, as is the coda to the opening movement. The timing for the Scherzo is uncharacteristically slow – in fact, it occasionally sounds lumbering rather than demonic. The tempo for the movement appears to be set by the Trio, which works much better. The finale is lightning fast. Blink and you may miss some favorite passages. When Norrington slows down the effect is impressive, but the contrasts are just too extreme for this slow movement to work. Or rather, to be fair, the contrasts are too extreme for the slow movement to work as a finale. Who knows how well it would work if we had a completed finale to follow!

Florida's Most Famous General Never Fought in Florida
On January 14, 1863, the Confederate War Department assigned Lieutenant General Edmund Kirby Smith command of Confederate forces in Texas and the area of Louisiana west of the Mississippi River. Within a month, Confederate president Jefferson Davis expanded Kirby's command to include all of the territory within the Department of the Trans-Mississippi: Arkansas, Missouri, West Louisiana, Texas, the Indian Territory (today's Oklahoma), and the Arizona Territory. For the next two-and-a-half years, Smith directed Confederate military, administrative, and economic affairs in the Trans-Mississippi, which had to become self-sufficient after the fall of Vicksburg in July 1863 cut off Smith's command from the rest of the Confederacy. Smith's position as commander of the Trans-Mississippi or "Kirby Smithdom" as the area became known, made him one of the most important and powerful Confederate generals of the Civil War; however, his name is relatively unknown today compared to the pantheon of generals in gray that includes such names as Robert E. Lee, Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson, P. G. T. Beauregard, and Joseph E. Johnston. Smith's responsibilities in the West and his earlier exploits during the war make him the most significant of Florida's Civil War generals.
Edmund Kirby Smith was born in St. Augustine, Florida, on May 16, 1824. Smith's father, Joseph Lee Smith, served as a federal judge in the newly acquired U.S. territory. He installed his family in the Segui House on Aviles Street in St. Augustine, renting the house from the descendants of Bernardo Segui. Due to General Smith's fame from the Civil War, the house is now known as the Segui-Smith House and contains St. Augustine's historical library. Edmund left St. Augustine in 1836 to attend Benjamin Hollowell's school in Alexandria, Virginia, in preparation for an appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point. He obtained the appointment and attended West Point from 1841-1845. Upon graduation, Edmund entered the Fifth Infantry Regiment as a second lieutenant and was serving in that unit when the United States went to war against Mexico. Edmund was part of the victorious army that captured Mexico City and participated in the celebrations that followed Mexico's surrender in February 1848. Unfortunately, Edmund's brother, Captain Ephraim Kirby Smith, did not survive the war; he was killed leading his men during the Battle of Chapultepec on September 8, 1847. In order to distinguish himself from his brother, Edmund went by his middle name "Kirby" and signed all of his future correspondence as "E. Kirby Smith," the name that he came to be known by during the Civil War.
Kirby Smith was stationed with the Second U.S. Cavalry Regiment in West Texas in February 1861, when Texas joined six other Southern states to form the Confederate States of America. After returning to Florida for a brief visit, the Confederate Army assigned the now Lieutenant-Colonel Smith to Virginia, where he served under the command of General Joseph E. Johnston. By the time of the Battle of Bull Run on July 21, 1861, Smith commanded a brigade as a brigadier general and rushed to support General Stonewall Jackson's men at the height of the battle. Smith's brigade helped counter the Union attack and enabled the Confederates to turn a likely defeat into victory. Wounded during the fighting, Smith was reported as killed in action. His family began to mourn his death before receiving news that he had survived and was recovering in Lynchburg, Virginia.
After his recovery, the Confederate War Department assigned Smith to take command of forces in all of Florida east of Pensacola. Before he could begin his move, however, the department decided he could be of more use if he remained in Virginia. Smith stayed in Virginia until March 1862, when he was reassigned to command the Department of East Tennessee. Centered at Knoxville, the Department of East Tennessee became the right-wing of the Confederate invasion of Kentucky in September 1862. Although the invasion achieved some early success, poor coordination between Smith's army and Braxton Bragg's Army of Tennessee failed to defeat the larger Union armies that contested the invasion. By October 24, Smith was back in Knoxville, where his disillusionment with the war almost led him to resign his command. It was during this time that Smith received news of his promotion to lieutenant general. Within two months, Jefferson Davis, upon the recommendation of Robert E. Lee, decided Smith was the general he needed to take command of Confederate forces in the West. Smith took up his appointment as commander of the Trans-Mississippi on February 9, 1863.
The headquarters for his new department was located in Alexandria, Louisiana. With forces that never exceeded about 70,000 men, Smith was entrusted with the defense of the entire Trans-Mississippi. He was also expected to relieve the Union threat to Vicksburg by conducting offensive operations along the Mississippi River. Smith directed his forces to invade Missouri and attack Union strongholds in Arkansas, but these efforts failed to dislodge the Federals or save Vicksburg, which surrendered to the Union on July 4, 1863. Vicksburg's fall forced the Trans-Mississippi to rely on its own resources. Smith devoted much of his time addressing the department's economic and administrative problems. Jefferson Davis gave him full authority to govern the region as he saw fit. Due to his efforts and the incompetence of Union general Nathaniel P. Banks, Smith's forces were able to turn back a Union invasion of East Texas in 1864. By 1865, however, large scale desertions brought on by the increasing likelihood that the Confederacy would lose the war, depleted resources, and ongoing Indian raids severely weakened Smith's department. Although he would be the last Confederate commander to surrender to the Union (June 2, 1865), the Confederate hold on the Trans-Mississippi became increasingly untenable in the last months of the war. There was little Smith could do to resist the inevitable defeat.
Kirby Smith outlived all the other top-ranked Confederate generals. After a post-war career as a businessman and educator (president of the University of Nashville and professor of mathematics at the University of the South at Sewanee, Tennessee), Smith died at Sewanee on March 28, 1893. Although he is buried in Tennessee, Smith's native state did not forget him. In 1922, a bronze statue of Smith was placed in the National Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol, where it stood along with the marble statue of inventor John Gorrie as Florida's contribution to the Hall. Kirby Smith's statue remains in the Capitol to this day.

First iPad Apple tablet review
Oh, we knew the Apple tablet / iPad / iSlate would be good, but we didn't think it'd be this good. Walt Mosspuppetberg got his hands on an iSlate, and has been using one for a couple of years as it's gone through its various development cycles. He finally breaks his silence with this review, stating that "this is probably the most completely perfect product to ever be released."

This is the last Star Wars character that I will be submitting today. After I'm done with this tutorial, I only have two more to go, and yes they are also awesome. Let's see, first I submitted Princess Leia, and then the Death Star. You will all now be learning "how to draw Luke Skywalker, step by step". Luke has got to be one of the popular characters of Star Wars because if you think about it, the first two movies or parts IV and V, are basically all about him, and Princess Leia. Even though Star Wars was awesome, I really didn't get into part VI too much. I think it's because Luke started looking different, and the tension between the three was a bit subsided. The best thing about VI was the Ewoks. They where so incredibly cute because they looked like fury teddy bears. Anyway, Luke grew up with his aunt Beru, and his Uncle Owen on their moisture farm. Luke learned how to work and survive in the desert, and he also learned how to build, and repair droids. Now because he comes from the bloodline of a Jedi Knight, he often dreams adventure that leads him down a more exciting path. Tatooine had very little things for a kid like Luke to do. He hung around a circle of friends that did nothing but make-fun of him. He wanted to one day become a pilot like his father, or so he was told. It wasn't until he came across an old man by the name of Ben Kenobi, that he learned the truth about his father being a Jedi Knight. Who exactly his father was, still remained a mystery for young Luke until his life took a turn for the better, or worse? Loosing his aunt and uncle left him saddened, which led him to beg old Ben to take him along on his travels when Obi-Wan was informed by Leia via R2-D2, that he was needed, and it was a matter between life and death. The story gets deeper, darker, and more exciting as you watch the saga from IV, V, VI. Before you touch that DVD, you have to start this tutorial that will show you "how to draw Luke Skywalker". It's not everyday you find an easy, fun drawing lesson on one of Star Wars main characters. I will be back with two more fun filled submissions. Peace out and happy drawing my Dragoart friends!

We analyze the regular oblique boundary problem for the Poisson equation on a C^1-domain with stochastic inhomogeneities. At first we investigate the deterministic problem. Since our assumptions on the inhomogeneities and coefficients are very weak, already in order to formulate the problem we have to work out properties of functions from Sobolev spaces on submanifolds. An further analysis of Sobolev spaces on submanifolds together with the Lax-Milgram lemma enables us to prove an existence and uniqueness result for weak solution to the oblique boundary problem under very weak assumptions on coefficients and inhomogeneities. Then we define the spaces of stochastic functions with help of the tensor product. These spaces enable us to extend the deterministic formulation to the stochastic setting. Under as weak assumptions as in the deterministic case we are able to prove the existence and uniqueness of a stochastic weak solution to the regular oblique boundary problem for the Poisson equation. Our studies are motivated by problems from geodesy and through concrete examples we show the applicability of our results. Finally a Ritz-Galerkin approximation is provided. This can be used to compute the stochastic weak solution numerically.
The Analysis of Oblique Boundary Problems and Limit Formulae Motivated by Problems from Geomathematics (2009)
This dissertation deals with two main subjects. Both are strongly related to boundary problems for the Poisson equation and the Laplace equation, respectively. The oblique boundary problem of potential theory as well as the limit formulae and jump relations of potential theory are investigated. We divide this abstract into two parts and start with the oblique boundary problem. Here we prove existence and uniqueness results for solutions to the outer oblique boundary problem for the Poisson equation under very weak assumptions on boundary, coefficients and inhomogeneities. Main tools are the Kelvin transformation and the solution operator for the regular inner problem, provided in my diploma thesis. Moreover we prove regularization results for the weak solutions of both, the inner and the outer problem. We investigate the non-admissible direction for the oblique vector field, state results with stochastic inhomogeneities and provide a Ritz-Galerkin approximation. Finally we show that the results are applicable to problems from Geomathematics. Now we come to the limit formulae. There we combine the modern theory of Sobolev spaces with the classical theory of limit formulae and jump relations of potential theory. The convergence in Lebesgue spaces for integrable functions is already treated in literature. The achievement of this dissertation is this convergence for the weak derivatives of higher orders. Also the layer functions are elements of Sobolev spaces and the surface is a two dimensional suitable smooth submanifold in the three dimensional space. We are considering the potential of the single layer, the potential of the double layer and their first order normal derivatives. Main tool in the proof in Sobolev norm is the uniform convergence of the tangential derivatives, which is proved with help of some results taken from literature. Additionally, we need a result about the limit formulae in the Lebesgue spaces, which is also taken from literature, and a reduction result for normal derivatives of harmonic functions. Moreover we prove the convergence in the Hölder spaces. Finally we give an application of the limit formulae and jump relations. We generalize a known density of several function systems from Geomathematics in the Lebesgue spaces of square integrable measureable functions, to density in Sobolev spaces, based on the results proved before. Therefore we have prove the limit formula of the single layer potential in dual spaces of Soboelv spaces, where also the layer function is an element of such a distribution space.

Projects - Primary Health Care Clinics
"If the people cannot get to health services then the health services must get to the people"
This was the philosophy behind the innovation of the world's first containerised primary health care unit by Gift of the Givers Foundation in 1994. Cost effective, all weather proof, low maintenance, easily transportable, rapidly deployed, aesthetically acceptable and conveniently accessible. This was the rationale behind this practically relevant innovation which led to efficient utilisation by rural masses in South Africa.
Deploying the prototype in PARTNERSHIP with the South African Government in May 1995, in Kwa Pata, Edendale, Pietermaritzburg (KwaZulu Natal), 20 such units were deployed in a 10 year period in various parts of South Africa, collectively averaging 500 000 patients per year. Services include minor ailments, immunisations, wound treatments, burn care, screening for hypertension and diabetes, pap smears, antenatal care, counselling services, specialist psychiatric care for the elderly, TB patient follow up and a range of primary care services.
Other units include Alexandra, Tembisa (3), Atteridgeville, Kagiso, Eikenhof, Koolfontein, Ratanda, Rietvallei, Tarlton, Zenzele and Badirile (Gauteng); Botshabelo (Free State); Emfundweni (KwaZulu Natal); Riemvasmaak, Holpan and Barkly West(2) (Northern Cape).

ROME (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of students and workers rallied across Italy on Saturday to protest against austerity measures imposed by Prime Minister Mario Monti's technocrat government.
Appointed a year ago when Italy came close to a Greek-style debt crisis, Monti has pushed through painful tax increases and spending cuts to try to rein in public finances at a time when schools and universities say they desperately need more support.
"We need to fight for our rights. This government doesn't represent us and these austerity measures and all the cuts they've introduced are totally anti-democratic," said student protester Tommaso Bernardi, attending a rally in Rome.
Far-right group Casapound marched through the capital Rome later on Saturday, chanting "Monti, go away!". Anti-fascists staged a counter-demonstration in another part of town.
"This government is making the nation starve and is destroying the social welfare system," said Casapound president Gianluca Iannone. "The weakest are hit hardest - the disabled, students and single-income families."
Police organized different routes and times for the rallies to reduce the risk of violence after scuffles broke out between police and demonstrators during protests on November 14 that saw the police criticized for heavy-handed tactics.
Several thousand students and workers also rallied in other cities including Naples, Florence and Catania.
No clashes were reported but the widespread protests highlighted the scale of discontent in the recession-hit country ahead of parliamentary elections next year.
"We need to change this country, starting from investments in schools, universities and culture," said Michele Orezzi, a university union coordinator, adding that Italy's education system was "crumbling into pieces".
With youth unemployment at about 35 percent, more than three times the national average, and Monti's austerity policies biting into education spending, school pupils and university students have taken an active role in anti-government protests.
Much anger is focused on an education reform bill going through parliament that would give schools more autonomy and allow them to accept other sources of funding than the state. Protesters believe this is intended to encourage privatisation.
Students have occupied schools around Rome in recent weeks to express their anger and frustration at repeated funding cuts, chaining gates shut and camping inside classrooms.
Monti has defended his austerity plan, saying he believes his technocrat government will be remembered for having helped Italy pull itself out of a deep economic crisis without needing to resort to external aid.
Italy has been the European Union's most sluggish economy for more than a decade, fuelling investor concerns about its ability to bring down public debt of around 126 percent of output.

Corning Incorporated
The Tools to Create Life-Saving Breakthroughs
The genomic revolution is driving medicine development into new and innovative areas. Most notably, drug production continues to grow. In addition to the chemically based treatments weve always known, we now see a proliferation of highly effective biologic therapies.
Creating these new biological drugs is done through bioproduction, a technique that depends on the production of vast numbers of new cells sometimes up to a trillion or more. This, in turn, requires highly specialized vessels, surfaces, and media for developing cells under precise conditions.
Ever since we introduced PYREX® glass in 1915, Corning has been a trusted supplier to the drug discovery business. Our labware helped enable the early production and distribution of such world-changing medicines as penicillin and the polio vaccine. And as pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies have changed their research focus from high volume, low-margin medicines to rare disease and specialized medicine, we have built a position of global leadership.
Our customers use our innovative products as they develop new treatments for conditions like arthritis and cancer, as well as vaccines for global health threats like the Ebola virus.

At the heart of every estate plan is what the client holds dearest: children, spouse, life partner, or friend; faith or community organization; even pets. Working around this, a successful plan considers the risks and challenges that may be faced, such as death or illness, and seeks to prepare for these.
When we help you with your estate planning, we create documents that convey your intentions for your assets after death, identify those responsible for settling any debts and distributing your assets, and express your preferences with regard to your care if you become disabled before death. Typical estate documents include wills, trusts, healthcare and financial powers of attorney, and living wills.

We're in our last three days of production for the July issue. It came down to the wire on the Top 100 list. I kept plugging away (with the help of Stuart, Jenn and Rick Caro) at some of the last club companies to turn in their forms. I was disappointed in some of the clubs that didn't submit their forms this year, especially Gold's Gym, Equinox and LA Fitness, probably the three biggest players who wanted to keep their 2006 revenue under wraps. Oh well, it is a free country so they have a right to keep that secret if they'd like.
Speaking of freedom, Stuart, Jenn and I are working away in an almost completely empty office building as the company closed each office at 1 p.m. to allow everyone an early start on the Fourth of July holiday. Stuart, Jenn and I are trying our darndest to get our assignments done so we can go to press with the issue on Friday. However, Bally's late Friday filing of its financials and inclusion of that information in our top news story for July has put Stuart a bit behind, and the Top 100 club list always puts me behind. Plus, I've been gathering the Best of the Best entries to send to judges next week. If you haven't submitted yours yet, you can still do so if I get the entries by Monday, July 9.
Oh--and Jenn's here just to help Stuart and me catch up!
Have no fear, though. We'll be leaving soon to celebrate the holiday with our families tomorrow. Here's hoping you can do the same. Have a safe Independence Day! - Pam

So basically we don't use it because people at our career planning workshops said not, so I suppose if they said to do it we all would. I'm not denying that it seems to be the way things are done, it's just interesting. To have the LSAT be as important as it is in law school admissions, but then be told that absent any other data (i.e. law school grades) a 145 is the same as a 180 means either the test lacks any validity and should be weighted far less in admissions or this is simply a social convention (a term which apparently offends some people here, but which seems to be the best description of what's going on). Again, sorry that questioning orthodoxy rankles some posters.
"180? why isn't this kid at yale or stanford or in at penn with a levy? maybe this lsat score is the best thing about him? maybe he has lousy grades because he's got no work ethic, and just got into a good law school because he got lucky on his test date?"
A high LSAT tells employers that you're bright/read fast. When you have nothing else to put on your resume to make yourself stand out, it makes sense to put it on there. I made a 179, and I'll be putting it on my resume. I don't go to Yale, but on the only standard metric by which applicants are judged, I'm better than most Yale students. It may be that some people will be disgusted, like the poster above. But some people might be impressed, and many will consider it to be a relevant and meaningful data point. Cheers!

7th panther death of 2013 reported in SW Florida
March 17, 2013 at 05:08 PM
The Associated Press
LABELLE, Fla. (AP) — The remains of an endangered Florida panther have been found in southwest Florida.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officials say the 2- or 3-year-old male panther was found Saturday morning alongside a road east of LaBelle.
It's the seventh panther death of the year. Officials say it's the fifth panther death caused by a vehicle this year.
Vehicle strikes were blamed for most of the more than two dozen panther deaths reported last year.
The Florida panther once ranged across the southeastern United States, but it is now found primarily in southern Florida. The wildlife conservation commission estimates that between 100 and 160 adult panthers remain in the wild, south of the Caloosahatchee River and Lake Okeechobee.
Much of their habitat has been lost to development. Scientists say panthers need lots of land where they can hunt deer, wild hogs, raccoons, armadillos, and rabbits.
Gov. Rick Scott had declared Saturday to be Florida Panther Day to raise awareness about the big cats' plight and conservation efforts to help their survival.
Wildlife officials say the panther population has risen in the past two decades, largely as a result of focused conservation efforts.
Panther research, management and protection efforts are funded through the sale of Florida panther specialty license plates.
The wildlife conservation commission asks the public to report any sightings of panthers or their tracks to help document their range.

Fine Motor
LearningToddlers13 Comments
Toddler play with pom poms!
Grabbing, pinching and poking at these little items are great for fine motor development!
Henry never got into the little things, he was always too busy and on the move. George gets into it a little bit more and loves to put objects in things. (Believe me, I find stuff in the weirdest places!)
Pom poms have become a favorite of his. Give him a container of some sort and a bunch of pom poms, and he's set!
We started with color sorting.
I didn't expect him to be able to do it (he's only 15 months!), but I did want to introduce to him that there are different colors.
I used a muffin tin and sorted the pom poms myself, as I did that I said the colors to help him recognize them.
George pulled the pom poms out of the tin and put them in, over and over.
I also used a Puffs container and cut slits in the lid to make a cross.
(I cut the tips of the opening to round them out, so they weren't so pointy and sharp.)
This has been an absolutely favorite.
George spends a lot of time exploring this concept.
Sticking the pom poms in.
Removing the lid and emptying them out. And repeat.
Pom poms tend to end up all over the place and I find them constantly, check out the splatter of pom poms behind George! (Maybe I should treat that as my own 'I Spy' game!)

Amazon has already conquered online retail, but it still takes too long to get your groceries. Why shouldn't they be at your door in an hour?
That's the problem that Instacart, a new startup coming out of prestigious startup school Y Combinator, wants to solve. It's not the only startup attacking same-day delivery, considered a "holy grail" in technology, but it's one that certainly shows an enormous amount of promise.
Instacart charges a flat fee to deliver groceries to your home in just an hour (or three). Its salespeople are equipped with the best tech and apps to get your groceries to your door immediately.
Here's how it works: you fire up the app, select some groceries to buy, and an hour later they arrive at your door. You pay a delivery fee that's about $15.
It might seem steep, but there's certainly a ton of demand for it: the app has already delivered tens of thousands of items.
It's not the first startup to do online grocery shopping, though. Webvan was a famous dotcom-era startup that did much the same thing, now owned by Amazon.
We caught up with co-founder Apoorva Mehta to find out where he plans to take Instacart. Here's what we learned:
- After being operational for just a few weeks, Instacart has delivered tens of thousands of items. That's pretty impressive growth for an app that just came out of Y Combinator, even for one of the top startups in the incubator.
- More than 90 percent of Instacart's users return after trying it. "They've stopped going grocery shopping," Mehta said.
- Instacart might expand to other verticals, but it's just groceries for now. Amazon started with just books, and now it's the top retail site on the web. Instacart just wants to do groceries right first before expanding into new verticals.
Here's a lightly edited transcript of the interview:
BUSINESS INSIDER: Can you tell me a little bit about your background?
APOORVA MEHTA: I used to be at Amazon.com, I was working on supply chain, a lot of what we are doing at Instacart is inspired by my work at Amazon. We fulfill items from local stores. A lot of the routing algorithms we're building was inspired heavily from my work at Amazon. Amazon is like clockwork, it has taken some time to get there and become a well-oiled machine and it's great to have that experience to start off with at Instacart.
I was at Amazon for 2.5 years, and this problem was there for me all the time. You would realize that you would shop for everything, but to get groceries you'd have to go physically to the store. To me, that was a broken experience. Two places, one was offline and one was online, that was always broken. I wanted to create something that could solve that problem. For me, it was very clear, I had the exact product I wanted to build and had the logistic experience. That cross-section was what put me in the position of building instacart.
Since then I've brought on two co-founders, both have been working on several startups. One was the first engineer at AngelList, a foundational knowledge of building networks. The other, on the other hand, has previously been a founder and CEO of a company that was acquired recently by Location Labs. He has a lot of operational experience. Right now the team is structured, I'm focused on the product and the logistics, Brandon is focused on the technology and Max is doing the operations.
BI: Why start with groceries?
AM: Everyone has to go grocery shopping, even if you don't cook you do need the basic cereals, your sundries, your toilet paper, your toiletries. Strategically speaking, we started with that like Amazon started with books. Amazon expanded to other categories, but when they started with books they were doing better than everyone. We wanted to laser-focus on groceries and do better than what everyone else did.
"Amazon expanded to other categories, but when they started with books they were doing better than everyone. We wanted to laser-focus on groceries and do better than what everyone else did."
We started with groceries because that's a problem that's not solved.
In the future, we'd like to add any unconsidered good as part of Instacart or if there are other apps we're building. We aren't going to get into the Apple Store, we're not gonna let you buy a big screen TV. We don't think we can add much value there, you don't need those things in an hour. You need something more impulsive or unconsidered.
BI: How do you handle the logistics?
AM: We use something called managed crowdsourcing. It's different from other platforms, managed crowdsourcing means when you order something on Instacart, we ensure there's crowdsourced labor to serve your requests. These are trained people who are equipped with an Instacart shopper app. This app is extremely intelligent, when they are at the store, we know exactly where all the items are located, what department, what isle, what shelf. The drivers are routed in the store as well as outside. We get as much efficiency as possible when we fulfill these requests. We charge $14.99 for one hour and $3.99 for three-hour deliveries. We're going to expand it to scheduled deliveries, for later today, for the next day. Our logistics are so efficient that we can give you that pricing.
BI: Do you guys see yourselves as being the go-to option for same-day deliveries?
AM: The scale is enormous, we've already delivered tens of thousands of items and we've only been operational for three weeks. There's this concept of a jewel on the Internet, where there's Amazon.com, that's where you go to shop. In the upcoming years, Instacart is the place you're going to go shopping for groceries. After that, it's going to expand to other areas as well. Anything same-day, anything instant is something Instacart will be able to provide. Amazon has done an amazing job being the sole-shopping experience provider. They're also going into the same-day space, but they'll never have all the inventory in the city for you, and we'll be able to do that. Our scope is much larger than what it seems right now. Right now we're just focused on being the best grocery delivery.

The Swing Riots were a major headache for the powers that be in the 1830's. The farm labourers were on starvation wages and in the end some of them rioted, burning corn ricks, smashing up threshing machines and threatening the farmers that if they didn't pay up they would get a visit from 'Captain Swing'. In fact. Captain Swing didn't actually exist he was the labourer's version of the bogey man.
The song comes from the musical play 'The Tolpuddle Man' written by Graham Moore. It's sometimes performed by local singers in the courthouse at Dorchester where the Tolpuddle Martyrs were tried. If you ever get the chance, go and see it I can guarantee a very moving experience.

State Wildlife Grant Private Land Program provides technical and financial assistance to enhance wildlife habitat on private land; deadline June 30
PRATT — The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) has announced that applications for participation in the State Wildlife Grant (SWG) Private Land Program are now being accepted. SWG grants are funded in part by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of Interior (program CFDA # 15.634), and administered in Kansas by KDWP.
This is the fourth signup for this project, and KDWP may distribute $98,615 (from an original $400,000 of SWG funds), plus an additional $49,307 in non-federal funds to private landowners interested in implementing habitat projects. With the addition of private funding for the project, it is anticipated that nearly $200,000 will be available for funding during this application period. Those landowners receiving funding will be required to match a minimum of 25 percent of total project costs. This match can either be a cash contribution from a non-federal source or contributions of labor, materials, and equipment use. Applications will be accepted until June 30.
Previously, the program has awarded $301,385 of SWG funds to 33 private landowners. Projects funded include removing invasive woody plants from native mixed-grass prairie, prescribed burning, conversion of cool season grass to native grass, installation of alternate watering facilities to help with native short-grass prairie management, and construction of perimeter fencing on expiring CRP fields to help maintain those fields in native grass. These projects will improve more than 11,192 acres of habitat for Species of Greatest Conservation Need in Kansas.
To be eligible, applications must address issues and strategies identified in the Kansas Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Plan. Applications will be scored based on established criteria to ensure all applicants are considered fairly and that the best projects are selected. Higher priority consideration will be given to proposals that specifically address restoration and enhancement activities that contribute to 1) development or maintenance of large grassland blocks capable of supporting area-sensitive wildlife species, 2) restoration or maintenance of areas supporting high densities of playa lakes surrounded by grasslands, and 3) restoration or enhancement of streams and associated riparian buffers.
Interested landowners should contact any KDWP regional office or private lands biologist for application materials or to schedule a consultation concerning a proposed project. For information regarding program administration, write Roger Wolfe, KDWP Region 2 Office, 300 SW Wanamaker Road, Topeka, Kansas 66606 or phone 785-273-6740. Persons with special communication needs may utilize the Kansas Relay Center, 1-800-766-3777.

Q: How do I know if my pond is covered in pollen or algae?
John – Noblesville, IN
A: Get on your sleuthing hat. Now that summer has arrived, the warm days can trigger both algae blooms and pollen bursts from flowering plants—both of which obscure the clean, sparkling water in your pond or lake. In order to clear things up, you need to first figure out whether it's algae or pollen. Here are two clues to follow …
Run your hand over the water surface and see what happens. Does the discoloration break apart at the surface or does it go deeper?
Algae that forms in ponds comes in two types—planktonic and filamentous. Planktonic algae is suspended in the water column, giving the water a pea-soup like appearance. Filamentous algae looks like long threads that grow from the bottom up and intertwine to form mats, commonly referred to as pond scum. When you run your fingers through the water, neither type of algae breaks apart.
Pollen, however, will break apart when agitated. It simply settles on the pond's surface, giving it an oil slick-like appearance, and does not sink into the water column unless a heavy rain comes through.
Next, take a close look at the color of what's floating on your pond. Pollen, planktonic algae and filamentous algae can give a lake's surface an off-colored hue.
The planktonic algae, which are microscopic plants, and the filamentous algae strings and mats color the water different shades of green, blue-green, brown or variations in between.
The pollen, however, often tints the water lighter green, yellow or white depending on what plants are releasing pollen spores into the air. Your deducing process can become complicated, however, if you have a combination of pollen sitting on top of a layer of algae!
Whether you've decided it's algae or pollen, we have a solution for you: aeration.
A subsurface Airmax® Aeration System keeps pond and lake water circulating, which prevents the algae from forming and the pollen from coalescing into an unsightly slick. It also pumps oxygen into the water, which keeps your plants and fish happy and healthy.
Above the water, a Kasco Decorative Fountain will keep pollen at bay by spraying wet stuff up and over the pond's surface, causing ripples that prevent the slicks from forming. Plus, they add movement and drama to your pond.

If you haven't seen the September 2010 issue of Men's Health yet, pick it up now. I have 6 full pages featuring my favorite football player, Jake Locker. This was my second time working with Jake, and he is one of the most kind and down to earth people I have photographed. Now, I know what you are thinking. Did he bring his pet coyote to the shoot this time? No, he didn't.
So, what's up with the helmet? And as big as this kid is, how can there be a helmet that is too big for him? I think it was a lineman's helmet. Before the shoot, I requested a ball and a helmet. Someone from the university brought us one helmet that happened to be several sizes too big. It wasn't until we were shooting that I asked Jake to put it on, and we discovered it wasn't the right size. I'm totally fine with mistakes like that, though, because it turned out to be my favorite picture from the shoot. Fun and unexpected. Outtakes are the best!
For those of you who don't know, Jake was recently ranked by ESPN as the number one college player in the country. These rankings are subject to change, but he has a legitimate shot at the Heisman this year if things continue to go well for him. As a Husky fan, I hope things go well!
I have been working with video a lot more lately. Some behind the scenes, and also a few photo and video assignments, as well as video only. I really like how this video turned out, and it should give you a little glimpse into how I work on an assignment like this.
Special thanks goes out to Men's Health Photo Editor Mark Haddad for this assignment. I would also like to mention Affix Music which is a great resource for licensing music for slideshows, video's etc. Amazing customer service! They are in the process of rolling out some new license options which will be even more specific in addressing the needs to photographers working with video.

Nevada panel bans bear hunting in Lake Tahoe basin
RENO, Nev. – State wildlife commissioners voted Saturday to prohibit black bear hunting on the Nevada side of the Lake Tahoe basin.
The move was approved on a 6-3 vote after many Tahoe residents said it was needed to prevent conflicts with hikers, mountain bikers and other outdoor enthusiasts.
Under the wildlife commission's action, the activity also will be prohibited in certain high-use areas around the Carson Range's Mt. Rose and Galena areas just outside the Tahoe basin.
But bear hunting still will be allowed in other areas of western Nevada, including the Stillwater, Pine Nut and Wassuk ranges.
Kathryn Bricker of NoBearHuntNV.org praised the wildlife commission's action, saying it will give greater peace of mind to recreation users during hunting season.
But she said her Tahoe-based group will continue to fight for an end to the bear hunt in Nevada. She cited independent scientists who say the nation's most arid state lacks enough bears to sustain the hunt.
"The commission listened to the public on this specific issue, but not to the public's overwhelming opposition to the bear hunt," Bricker told The Associated Press. "But we appreciate that the commission listened to the public on this particular item and think it's a good start."
When the wildlife commission approved the bear hunt last year, biologists estimated the state was home to 200 to 300 black bears, with most concentrated in the Carson Range and in and around the Tahoe basin.
County wildlife advisory boards and other sportsmen groups had urged the commission not to change bear hunting boundaries.
Nevada Department of Wildlife spokeswoman Teresa Moiola said there were no reports of conflicts between hunters and other users at Tahoe or elsewhere during the state's inaugural bear hunt last year when 14 bruins were killed.
There also were no bears killed in the Tahoe basin during the initial hunt.
"The commission took into consideration comments from different user groups," Moiola said. "They wanted to draw hunting boundaries in a way that addressed the concerns."
Wildlife commissioners will set hunting quotas for bears in May.
