I would not be posting on this blog for an unspecified period of time due to certain personal developments. I need time to sort them out. Thank you for reading my blog so far and for commenting on it.
Month: Jul 2010
Goldman-SEC settlement
Comments worth commenting on
Two recent edits at Business Standard are good ones. One deals with the issue of India's demographic advantage. It cites the TeamLease India Labour Report 2009 to make the argument that the demographic dividend is neither automatic nor is it being worked on to turn into an advantage. I would add one more to the list of consequences that the Edit mentions. It is that disaffected and unemployed (or, unemployable) youth could be potential recruits for the fast-growing Naxalite movement in India. I have downloaded the Team Lease Report. For those interested, it is here.
The second edit expresses its disappointment at the Supreme Court allowing extension of reservations for OBC, SC and ST beyond 50%. I cannot agree more.
In the same breath, one has to mention the MINT edit on the Supreme Court upholding the legal requirement of Indian political parties having to swear loyalty to socialism. While the Supreme Court decision in favour of dropping that requirement might only have been symbolic, it would have made many sit up and take notice. It would have been a blow against the hypocrisy of India's political parties. The two concluding paragraphs of the Edit are worth mentioning:
Unless the political class embraces a system of ideas and sheds its duplicity, it's only encouraging apathy. Given that India's left and right joined hands in a bandhthis month solely to posture against the Congress, perhaps that day is still distant.
Who can blame the middle class, then, for staying distant too? As far as it's concerned, there are no accessible candidates who speak the language of ideas, especially the ideas that it's starting to understand— those of free markets and free people. [More here]
I cannot agree more with the first para cited here. The BJP was as bereft of ideas and imagination as it was predictable for the Left to protest. The second paragraph can be debated and discussed ad nauseam/ad infinitum.
T. N. Ninan makes his point to the left-of-centre brigade in India with his characteristic subtlety and understatement. But, it is no less effective. He raises the question of whether efficiency improves equity in outcomes with an implicit suggestion that it does. I agree – certainly, from the current starting points in many contexts in India.
Dylan Grice' summer reading list
FT Alphaville has a post on the summer reading recommendations of Dylan Grice of SocGen whose name has appeared frequently in these pages. Among the books he suggests, I read 'Lords of Finance' last year and it did leave a big impact. I have commented on it more than once in this blog. Among his 'To Read' list, I have Raghuram Rajan's 'Faultlines' myself. Yet to start. I have Matt Ridley's 'Rational Optimist', Atul Gawande's 'Checklist Manifesto' too, to read.
I have read this year, Yasheng Huang's 'Capitalism with Chinese Characteristics'. Very intense and not-so-easy read but full of insights. Read Seth Godin's 'Lynchpin' – brilliant in parts. It is a small book. It talks about how employees can become lynchpins to their organisations. Read and finished finally 'Animal Spirits' by Akerlof and Shiller. Very, very laborious. Could have been a lot more cogent. Read James Tooley's 'Beautiful Tree' – a very good book. Recommended reading for those interested in development and on figuring out how to go about finding answers for development questions – not from arm-chairs but from empirical work/field work and data gathering.
I must mention the book that had brief biographies of 21 great South Indian Classical Musicians. It was marvellous reading. Some of them lived a life of high principles (Madurai Mani Iyer). Many were lavish. Many were generous (Sembai, GNB). Most wives of male artists were extremely accommodative of their husbands' preferences and disciples. They willingly participated. It is also clear that, while there were many anecdotes of jealous and small minds, most acclaimed artists did not hesitate to share all that they knew when they spotted talent. A truly marvellous book for those interested.
American exceptionalism
I fully endorse this Lexington column in 'Economist'. It is about time America hunkers down to do some real work. The real reason for the crisis was the mistaken perception that the economic boom of the 1980s and 1990s was due to their policies rather than a serendipitous combination of factors. That is what gave them the confidence that all risks would be automatically taken care of, now that they had moderated the business cycle itself and that they could turn on and off the monetary spigots as they wished ,without consequences. Even now, there is no sign that the message has been grasped.
New Indian rupee symbol
Came across the new symbol for the Indian rupee in the Business Line. It looks like a mix of Euro (mirror image), pound sterling and yen. It can also be thought of the mirror image of the 'hammer and sickle' symbol of the Communist Party of India (Marxist).
The new symbol, which is a blend of the Devanigiri 'Ra' and roman 'R', has been designed by Bombay IIT post-graduate Mr D. Udaya Kumar and approved by the Union Cabinet today. Mr Kumar's design was selected from amongst 3,000 entries received in a public competition. The entries were evaluated by a jury headed by the RBI Deputy Governor.
China has it under control
No matter how much China ascends on the global stage, its statistics continue to befuddle market participants. China released its first half growth figure but not the second quarter growth figure. In the first quarter, GDP grew 11.9% y/y and now in the first half, GDP is said to have grown at a rate of 11.1% y/y. Of course, it is not difficult to estimate a q/q figure, based on this. But, one can understand the extent of difficulty from this statement:
China publishes growth figures on a year-on-year basis but does not release a sequential, seasonally-adjusted growth figure which would give a more accurate impression of the direction of economic activity.
Private sector estimates vary considerably, with Goldman Sachs putting the implied quarter-on-quarter growth rate at 8 per cent on an annualised basis, while Standard Chartered estimated a growth rate of 10 per cent. [More here]
Stephen Green of Standard Chartered thinks that they have managed to cool the parts of the economy that they had wanted to cool, without derailing the overall growth momentum. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we should take his words at face value.
In essence, there would be a lot of speculation on where Chinese economy is headed – is it slowing down or is it overheating, whether it is now more domestic demand led or still captive to global demand, whether property sector is cooling or is it still red-hot, etc. Perhaps, China prefers it this way. Investors do not seem to mind for now since the country has a huge population base, fast economic growth, appetite for technology, etc. Once growth slows – in five years' time to around 60% of the current growth rate – then, it can no longer get away with the current degree of opacity and non-transparency.
To be sure, all countries take liberties with their statistics these days – more so, than before. Even the media, donning the nationalist mantle, package them differently. For example, US retail sales dropped for the second month in a row. But, excluding auto and gasoline sales, they did well!
Here is a sample from Wall Street Journal online news-alert:
U.S. retail sales tumbled again in June, threatening to drain steam from an economy saddled with high joblessness. Sales fell 0.5% from the previous month, the Commerce Department said. Excluding auto and gas sales, though, sales rose 0.1%. [No link]
In other news, China continues to adopt tactics consistent with its long-term goal of becoming the world's pre-eminent power. Sample these:
PetroChina, China's largest listed oil and gas producer, says it would "welcome" closer co-operation with BP as the embattled UK group struggles to cover liabilities arising from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill disaster. [More here]
German export upswing – partly caused by a weaker Euro at the margin – is attributed to China, not by commentators but by the exporters themselves:
"Without China we would hardly have seen this recovery – it's a frightening trend," said Hannes Hesse, managing director of the VDMA engineering association. Demand for textile machines was "almost exclusively" Chinese.
"Demand?" said Diether Klingelnberg, chairman of Klingelnberg, a maker of machine tools based near Cologne. "It's China, China, China by a long way, then India, Brazil, then Russia – and the US remains weak, as do many of our European markets." [More here]
The story below is fascinating and gives an excellent insight into the psyche of China itself and the extraordinary obsession it has, with the goal of becoming the top-dog. Westerners, forgetting their own stories of stealing, bribing and violating IP on their way to the top (read 'Kicking the Ladder' by Prof. Ha-Joon Chang of Cambridge University), would shake their heads vigorously in disapproval. Indians, part in jealousy and part in frustration, would try to paint themselves as morally superior to the Chinese. Both reactions would be spurious and wrong:
It is a lesson on the risks for foreign companies doing business in China.
Japanese executives lab-oured for years to persuade Beijing to choose their Shinkansen system to cut travel times between cities.
But Chinese officials played them off against other foreign suppliers in order to acquire the technology and expertise needed to create their own high-speed rail sector.
Celebrating the introduction of its first high-speed trains in 2007, the railway ministry crowed that Sifang and other state-owned companies, working with Bombardier of Canada, Siemens of Germany and France's Alstom, had managed to acquire their high-speed rail technology at a cost "clearly below" standard prices.
Now KHI and fellow 2004 consortium members including Mitsubishi Electric and Hitachi can only watch as Sifang wins itself a leading role supplying rolling stock to a Chinese high-speed rail network expected to grow to 16,000km by 2020. [More here]
Of course, all the short-cuts would amount to nothing if it was not backed up by industriousness and intelligence:
A Japanese executive familiar with the 2004 deal says members of the KHI-led consortium realised the deal could help give China a start in the industry, but they "could not imagine" the catch-up would be so fast. [More here]
Lastly, FT's China Confidential (available only for subscribers) documents the improvements happening in rural finance in China along with enhanced trade between holders of rural land-use rights and those who want them. It is unlocking rural purchasing power too, besides the increase in minimum wages.
From what one gathers superficially, China's rural credit co-operatives and 'Village and Town Banks' lend to small and micro enterprises too. If this is true and if it is beginning to gather critical mass, it is a huge step-up over India's microfinance sector that focuses on lending to individuals. China, in other words, is doing what my guest-author Satyan Mishra recommended for India's Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs) here.
To get it all in one place, I should remind readers of the good work that their public education system is doing, compared to its woeful state say, in India and other developing nations.
Or, for that matter, this comment by Mckinsey analysts on their urban planning in contrast to India's lack of it:
While India has barely paid attention to its urban transformation, China has developed a set of internally consistent practices across every element of the urbanization operating model: funding, governance, planning, sectoral policies, and the shape, or pattern, of urbanization, both across the nation as a whole and within cities themselves.
India has devolved little real power and accountability to its cities, but China's major cities enjoy the same status as provinces and have powerful political appointees as mayors. While India's urban-planning system has failed to address competing demands for space, China has a mature urban-planning regime (emphasizing the systematic development of run-down areas) consistent with long-range plans for land use, housing, and transportation.
The starkest contrast between the two countries is that China has embraced and shaped urbanization, while India is still waking up to its urban reality and the opportunities that its cities offer for economic and social transformation. [More here – you may need to register with Mckinsey Quarterly to read this article in full]
Stringing it all together, one gets the impression that China is under control of its destiny, for the moment and, chinks, if any, appear in its macro rather than the micro, contrary to what is widely believed. Its problem areas have arisen from its command-and-control model of managing macro-economy without letting prices send the right signals to all stakeholders. If they do not fix it in short order, it has the potential to cause a big setback that all obfuscation cannot conceal.
But, I think they know it.

Photo Spot Summary
Category: Architecture
Country: France
City: Paris
GPS Latitude: 48.861126
GPS Longitude: 2.335412
In the center of Paris, at the Metro station "Palais Royal - Musée du Louvre" or "Louvre - Rivoli".
Photo Spot Details
The Louvre is a very famous museum (home of La Joconde). Since 1989, a glass pyramid is in the middle of the building (designed by Pei). Highly debated when it was presented to the public, it is now a symbol of this museum. I think that at night is the best moment to capture it. A tripod is recommended, even if with high ISO it can be shot without since there are a lot of lights around.

Because it's relatively simple to implement on both client and server, doesn't require extra software installed on every client beyond the monthly stats script itself and because of the way that HTTPS uses a one-sided Diffie Helmann exchange to create session keys which means that you don't have any trouble with key management on the many thousands of client boxes out there... In which case rewriting the monthly_stats script to send all the data to the server in one transaction would be a pretty good optimization. It's a pity that fetch(1) doesn't have the capability to do a HTTP POST rather than a GET though, given the amount of stuff to send. As a matter of interest, does the FreeBSD project or any of the other *BSDs have a CA anywhere that could sign the bsdstats web server cert? If not, then I guess some sort of appeal to raise the cash to get a cert signed by one of the Root CAs might well be in order.

Do you always want to show up and be the best you can be?
What is preventing you from doing that? We recently saw many incredible athletic efforts at the Olympics in Rio. Most of those efforts and results were as a result of the traditional coaching model, between coach and athlete.
I was very fortunate to have some amazing coaches in high school and college who certainly motivated me and allowed me to achieve my peak athletic potential. Once out of school, I continued with Ironman Triathlon training and searched for a coach who had actually achieved what I wanted to achieve in the sport. I know I was a better athlete because I was coached.
Coaches can bring experience, a "view from the cheap seats" that can be hard for you as the athlete to see objectively when you are immersed in your training. Coaches objectively observe your training status and may advise you to rest even though the athlete in you wants to keep pushing.
They will optimize your performance and have proven to be an integral part of an athlete's success. Do you know of any elite athletes who are not coached?
So let me ask you: Do you use a coach today? For anything? Why not? Why is it that most of us only associate coaching with the traditional coach/athlete model? Do you want to excel in your career as a manager? What about as a spouse or parent? Think about that. Where does the idea come from that once we hit 30, 45 or 60, there is no room to grow, improve or benefit from coaching?
Is a 45-year-old business executive who is coached seen as weak for wanting to be coached? There are certainly misperceptions out there surrounding nontraditional coaching and I don't buy into any of them. Even those at the top of their game need guidance; it is represented everywhere success emerges.
There are many kinds of coaches such as life coaches, business coaches and health coaches. Many of us get on that hamster wheel every day, but are you fulfilled? Are you where you thought you would be? Do you have balance in your life? Are you happy and excited to face the challenges and experiences that each day brings?
The proper coach will guide you to answer these questions.
My goal is to simply plant a seed, to open your eyes to the idea that coaching could enhance your life, not just your workouts.
Coaching has certainly provided me with clearer goals, the ability to prioritize more effectively, more balance, and better health while staying present and focusing on what I can control and not on what I cannot. Why not give it a try? Maybe it's the piece you've been missing to tie it all together and help you achieve your goals and aspirations. ●

It is the only excellent and effective natural alternative to cosmetic surgery facelifts and botox treatments. More than that – it gets your entire body in balance.
The goal of the treatment is to restore, rejuvenate and relax… and help you to be more beautiful!
Five Weeks All-Inclusive Cosmetic Face Rejuvenation Program
- Complete Holistic and Functional Medical Evaluation
- Introductory Balancing session
- Facial Acupuncture sessions
- Body Acupuncture sessions
- Cold Laser Treatments
- Emotional Alignment and Detoxification to soften the most prominent wrinkle areas
- Facial massage and Collagen rebuilding masks
- Special cream and serum to boost collagen and elastin
- Cellular level Homeopathic Detoxification Protocol
- Nutritional Analyses and 30-day Individualized Food Plan
- All necessary supplements and herbal remedies
- Re-evaluation session in 3 months
Designed from the ancient texts of Chinese medicine, this style of cosmetic acupuncture is a relatively painless, natural technique. Small, less than hair-width acupuncture needles are placed in a precise configuration just under the skin's surface to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.
During your consultation you will be asked many questions about your overall health and lifestyle habits which will allow us to design a custom treatment plan for you.
The results of cosmetic acupuncture anti-aging treatments reflect not only a change in external appearance, but also an improvement in total body wellness. Specifically, you may notice:
- A reduction in fine lines… they may even disappear
- A leveling of deeper lines. They can "fill up" and look much softer
- Skin gets softer, more vibrant
- Cheeks get smoother
- Overall skin tone becomes more consistent. If your face has lots of red in it, this technique may reduce that considerably
- Age spots have faded
- Those "little hard spots on my face went away"
- Enhanced overall appearance and health
The general good health results that have been reported include:
- Hot flashes and/or night sweats went away
- Eyes look brighter
- Mild depression has been resolved
- Mild anxiety is resolved
- More energy
- Better digestion and sleep cycle
So… how it all happens? Magic? Not really! The physiology of this treatment is fully explainable from the western medical point of view and agrees with the basic anatomy and physiology of human body as we know it at the moment.
This unique anti-aging treatment:
- Stimulates the production of elasin and collagen proteins in the skin to reduce and soften wrinkles.
- Promotes blood circulation for better distribution of oxygen and nutrients as well as cellular regeneration.
- Rehydrates the skin's external layers through stimulation of the secretion of the sweat and sebacious glands which encourages the regeneration of healthy skin cells.
- Helps exfoliation, aids the proliferation of new skin cells, increases nutrition to the skin's surface, improves the quality of the skin and promotes a healthy glow.
- Allows healthy "breathing" of the skin, increasing the skin's protective ability to ward off infections and clogged pores.
- Increases oxygen consumption of the skin's external layer speeding up the release of carbon dioxide and nitrogen at the cellular level, helping to keep skin deeply clean; contributes to reducing the accumulation of excess grease on the skin's surface.
- Reduces and relaxes the tension in the nerves and muscles improving the integrity of the skin resulting in improved overall facial appearance.
The Components of the Anti-Aging cosmetic treatment include:
- Face, neck, and body acupuncture
- Herbal and nutritional supplements
- Food therapy
- Relaxation techniques
- Facial massage
- Organic skin care products.
- Acupuncture, facial or abdominal, and overall balancing
- Herbal Tonic Therapy to restore balance and overall health
- Food Therapy to maximize results
- Eastern Nutritional Counseling
- Mind Body Therapies
- Facial Massages to increase circulation
- Organic Skin Care products

Madonna: Now I'm a director
Despite the, uh, cool reaction to Filth and Wisdom, Madonna has decided that she is a direc-tor rather than a actress:
"The director tells the story, you are the chess piece that is moved around. That doesn't suit my personality."
Eve's second bite of the apple? Wasn't the point that she persuaded Adam to take a bite? And wasn't eating the apple kind of a bad thing anyway, what with how it lead to expulsion from paradise for all humankind. Did she never pay attention in church?
If Madonna didn't really feel comfortable acting - and, clearly, she didn't - then how come she kept making such bloody awful films?

1. Time to read: There are so many books I want to read but so little time. I would ask the genie to give me all the time in the world to read with no interruptions and nothing else to have to do. That would be heavenly. -Diana
2. First editions of all my favorite books: I don't have the kind of cash necessary to bid or acquire rare books or first editions, so my Book Genie would definitely bring those to me for me to add to my personal collections. -Sandie
3. Bring my literary crushes to life: I would definitely ask the genie to bring my literary crushes to life so I could actually meet them. Before that, I would ask the genie to make me 18 again and then bring some of my favorite guys to life so that I could hang out with them and it wouldn't be weird. I would want a different guy every week, and I'm only going to be hanging out with them, nothing else, really! I'm thinking along the lines of Cricket, Levi, St. Claire, Adam, Thorne, Harry, Ron, just to name a few. This list could go on and on. –Diana
4. Unlimited shelving: I currently look like a book hoarder, because I have piles of books in front of my shelved books, on my coffee table, even on the floor of my living room and home office. Book Genie — build me more custom shelves, so I never have to worry about whether to keep a book! -Sandie
5. Send me to every major book festival, fair or expo in the world: I would make sure that the book genie would send me to every book festival. Sandie gets to go to so many of them and I've only been to Yallfest. I wish I could go to all of the fairs, expos, festivals not just here in the U.S., but all over the world. I could meet my favorite authors and listen to them speak on different panels and I would get to travel. -Diana
7. Unlimited access to all the books that I want from any bookstore that I want: Yes, this would be perfect because I enjoy going to bookstores. So even though the genie could give me any book I want, I would just want to go to any bookstore any time anywhere and get whatever book I want. –Diana
8. Author chats: I don't want to stalk authors, really I don't. But sometimes when you read something and you just have to know what the author's intent was, it would be great for the Book Genie to summon the Author (doesn't even have to be in person, I'll settle for Skype or text or an old-fashioned call ) to discuss something from their book. -Sandie
9. T0 make my sister and my daughter world renowned, award winning authors: So Sandie is already an amazing writer and if she would just take the time to write, she would already have published a great YA novel. My daughter is an aspiring writer and one day hopes to become an author. So, I'd get the genie to make this happen for both of them. –Diana
I don't really have a 10th, since Diana covered most of them. What are your Book Genie wishes?

It's all Sold Out… The End.
No, really…. It's ALL sold out…. And, Target's server crashed today…. It couldn't handle the demand!
My local Jersey City store had a line wrapped around the store and down the block shortly after 6am today. When the doors opened at 8am, there was a mad dash for everything & anything Missoni. Silly me… I thought I could leisurely pop into the store on my way home from work. Shame on me! I know better than that!!??!!
Luckily, I wasn't willing to give up the good fight…. I scoured the store looking for something…. anything…. Just so that I could say I have something Missoni…. I was willing to settle for a pencil! Fortunately, the Lingerie Gods were with me…. I can't leave Target without popping into the Intimate Apparel department to check out what's new…. Lo and behold, there was one lonely Missoni for Target Babydoll Set left on a rack…. And it's in my size. SCORE!
And now we're on to Plan B…. I called Mom. She's lives in a retirement community in the middle of nowhere. I bet her local Target has something left! Mom is on a mission… for Missoni for Target! I'll keep you posted on what she finds!
www.target.com (unless they're all sold out too!)
And if they are sold out, let them know how you feel about it @TargetStyle
Happy Hunting!

Keeping your holiday buffet healthy doesn't doom you to celery stalks and carrot sticks. There are plenty of options that are indulgent without leaving your guests feeling buffet-grazing remorse.
Shrimp are always popular and a healthy choice (unless you wrap them in bacon, of course). They are inexpensive, come ready to serve, and are low in both fat and calories.
Healthy dips such as hummus are great, but even sinful choices like a creamy blue cheese dip can be made better by avoiding the chips and serving them with veggie sticks.
Fresh fruit is also filling and appealing, especially when you pair it with a little bit of something that's rich or salty (or both). The classics are generous wedges of melon wrapped in prosciutto and slices of fresh pear topped with a sliver of stilton cheese.
If you're looking for something sweet you can offer dark chocolate strawberries or dried fruits dipped in dark chocolate.
Another option is to consider small portions of a favorite entree. For instance, a slice of lean, pepper-crusted beef tenderloin served with a dab of horseradish sauce or a drizzle of au jus is both tasteful and satisfying.
If you don't have a lot of seating and want to spare your guests from needing a knife, cut the meat into bite-sized pieces ahead of time.
This pork tenderloin with roasted red grapes and thyme will add an elegant touch to your buffet. Slices of pork tenderloin are small and usually tender enough to cut with the side of a fork.
The dish can be served hot or warm from a chaffing dish. If you prepare it ahead of time be sure not to overcook the pork or it will dry out when reheated.
Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Red Grapes and Thyme
Start to finish: 1 1/2 hours (20 minutes active)
Servings: 16
4 cups red seedless grapes
3 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme or 1 tablespoon dried
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
FIRST GRAPH MISSING. USE DROP CAP STYLE SHEET. /2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 pork tenderloins, about 1 pound each, trimmed of fat
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped shallots
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons cool water
Place racks in middle and lower third of oven. Heat the oven to 400 F.
On a rimmed baking sheet, spread out the grapes. Roast on the lower shelf, stirring occasionally, until the grapes start to shrivel, about 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the thyme, mustard, salt and pepper. Fold under the narrow ends of both tenderloins and secure with a toothpick. Rub the spice and mustard paste over the outside of both tenderloins.
In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the tenderloins and cook, turning occasionally, until well browned on all sides, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Reduce the oven to 325 F and transfer the skillet with the tenderloins to the middle shelf of the oven. Roast the tenderloins and grapes until a meat thermometer inserted at the thickest part of the tenderloins registers 155 F and the grapes are very soft, 35 to 45 minutes. Transfer the tenderloins to a serving platter, cover loosely with foil and set aside.
Return the skillet to the stovetop over medium (be careful of the hot handle). Add the shallots and saute until lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
Add wine and simmer, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth, return the sauce to a simmer and cook for 4 minutes longer.
In a small bowl, combine cornstarch with the water, whisk into the sauce and cook until thickened. Stir in the roasted grapes and season the sauce with salt and pepper.
Serve the tenderloins sliced crosswise and topped with the roasted grape sauce.

Temporal Boundaries
So the physical boundaries of the Cliff Mine nominated property have been defined. But what of the time period of significance? This determination is important for considerations of future management, as well as refining the scope of possible narratives about the site useful for future funding (grants, for instance). For starters, a nominated property must […]
First Things First: Defining Boundaries
This gallery contains 2 photos.
For the majority of National Register nominated properties, defining a boundary isn't too difficult. The historic home is defined by it's lot (unless it's just one of several historic homes—then perhaps the entire block/neighborhood). Same goes for most other architectural resources. But what of a landscape? Is it enough to only include a 100 year […]
What is the National Register of Historic Places?
As stated by the Guidelines for Completing National Register of Historic Places Forms, "The National Register of Historic Places is the official Federal list of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects significant in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture. These [places] contribute to an understanding of the historical and cultural foundations of the nation." These places include all prehistoric and historic properties of the National Park System, all National Historic Landmarks, and properties that have been successfully nominated for inclusion by State Historic Preservation Officers, Federal agencies, and even you.
To qualify for the National Register, a property must possess both historic significance and integrity. Significance is tied to "four aspects recognized by the National Register Criteria."
- Criteria A: Association with historic events or activities.
- Criteria B: Association with important persons.
- Criteria C: Distinctive design or physical characteristics.
- Criteria D: Potential to provide important information about prehistory or history.
The first two criteria are fairly straightforward. The site of an important battle (or in our case, the first profitable copper mine in Michigan) is a great example of significance under Criteria A. The birthplace of an American President would be one example falling under Criteria B. Criteria C is often associated with architecture or perhaps (in the case of the Copper Country) a well preserved company town/district. But it can also refer to an excellent example of workmanship or technical practice not tied to a specific piece of architecture. For instance, one building may not be individually significant, but a collection of structures could embody a distinctive method of creation, use, or process. Criteria D is generally associated with archaeological resources. The property may not include any standing/obvious features at the surface, but beneath that surface may be found years and years worth of resources related to some aspect of our nation's history and/or prehistory.
Beyond historic significance, a nominated property must also contain a level of integrity. This is defined as "the authenticity of a property's historic identity, evidenced by the survival of physical characteristics that existed during the property's prehistoric or historic period." A property is measured against seven qualities that can determine historic integrity:
- Location
- Design
- Setting
- Materials
- Worksmanship
- Feeling
- Association
A property does not need to meet all seven qualities, but it must meet at least one.
As you continue following my education in completing one of these nominations, I'll return to these ideas of historic significance and integrity, and discuss how the Cliff mine and Clifton meet (and in some cases, don't meet) these Criteria and qualities.
Next time I'll discuss the importance of defining appropriate boundaries for your nominated property.
The blog is back. Happy 2014!
Welcome back to the Cliff Mine Archaeology Project blog. I started this blog back in the spring of 2010 to follow research that formed the heart of my Master's thesis. I continued working at Cliff for the next two summers, focusing on excavations at the mine's stamp mill location. In 2012, additional student researchers joined […]
Excellent Keweenaw Summer

Sam Sweitz took this photo from one of the overlooks on the bluff overlooking the Cliff and Clifton. This weekend's weather will finally be perfect for an open house! Come see the dig this weekend before we backfill for the season.
Final Open House Weekend for 2013
This gallery contains 5 photos.
Hello all- This weekend is the final open house for the 2013 field season. We will have lots going on at the site, even though the rain has kept our excavation units flooded by the high water table. We are trying to finish the excavation of four trenches, all of which visitors can see when […]
Prepared for your visit to the Cliff?
If you've never been to the site before, or you are a new reader of the blog, you may not know that we've posted some videos to YouTube over the past few years. I'm reposting this video that Mark Dice completed in 2010!
Mark made this video before we had started any excavations at the site, but it still serves as a great introduction for those planning a visit. It answers questions like, "where is the nearest toilet?" and "what might I see?"
The weather will be spotty- but it looks good for the morning with thunderstorms developing in the afternoon. We will watch the NEXRAD radar to keep an eye on things. Thunderstorms create unsafe conditions, as do high winds, so we will be out working and hosting guests today, unless strong storms drive us away!
Two Rainy Days
This gallery contains 2 photos.
The past two days have been pretty rainy. The research team has excavated down to the water table, so the deepest trenches start to fill up with water when we've had rain, so we couldn't get much done in the field. As a result, we've spent two days working in the lab, having lectures and […]
Rainy Friday
This gallery contains 1 photo.
It looks like we may get rained out again today. Even worse, the weekend looks pretty bad too. I'll post early each morning about whether or not we've been rained out each day. The research team will spend another day in the lab today, I think. That may allow me to get some blog posts […]
Remaining public tours scheduled for 2013
WE hope that everyone will come to visit us this summer in June! The first weekend allowed us to work out the tour's basics and the visitors helped us to think about how we could improve the experience. Cliff is an important site with a fascinating history, and we hope to share it with as […]

Program Officer, Office of Naval Research Solid-State Laser Technology Maturation Program
We all know the old saying about the unfortunate soul who brought a knife to the gunfight. In the not-too-distant future, we should be able to say we bested our adversaries because we had lasers, and they showed up with only a gun.
In fiscal year 2014, the Navy will put a solid-state laser gun aboard USS Ponce in the Persian Gulf. The tests we run with this weapon will help us develop a prototype system that can be tailored to many surface combatant classes.
Watch a demonstration of the high-energy laser aboard a moving surface combatant ship and against remotely piloted aircraft
It's impossible to overstate the significance of this milestone and our continued research into directed energy. I've been working with weapon systems for 30 years, and this capability is poised to change the face of modern warfare.
As Navy leaders have said, we never want to see a Sailor or Marine in a fair fight. We always want them to have the advantage.
This new kind of weapon will give our warfighters options like no other system before. I like to use the "five Ds" when describing its myriad of capabilities: deter, disable, damage, defeat and destroy. The solid-state laser can vary the power and accomplish each of these, independently or sequentially.
The same weapon that can be used to identify and then issue a non-lethal warning to an approaching unmanned air vehicle can then set a drone ablaze and send it crashing to the ground. With lasers, our aim becomes more precise, and we can engage at the speed of light.
This goes beyond "fire and forget." This is all about "knowing before you fire, knowing as you are firing, and then knowing and having evidence that you were effective in your last shot."
We've already successfully test-fired on unmanned aircraft and small boats. Additional target sets will follow.
And the best part of this story? It costs less than $1 to take a shot with a laser, and it doesn't require our Sailors to load ships up with hazardous materials such as propellants and explosives.
You need two things to operate a laser: electricity and cooling. We can get the electricity from the ship's power system and use available chilled water to cool it. With ample supply of both, we have a virtual bottomless magazine.
It's cheap, it's safe, it's the future . . . and the future is here.
On a personal note, I have directed energy to thank for my life. I suffered from atrial fibrillation, more commonly known as an irregular heartbeat. Doctors used a directed energy to cut through harmful nerves behind my heart and get it back into rhythm. I am walking proof that directed energy saves lives in more ways than one.
The Office of Naval Research is proud to have contributed to this cutting-edge technology, and we're grateful to our research partners at Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Air Systems Command, the Secretary of Defense's High Energy Laser Joint Technology Office and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, among others.
But most important, we're confident of the solid-state laser's ability to help our Sailors and Marines complete their missions more effectively and efficiently than ever before.

Who Are Tech Entrepreneurs?
First of all, let us define the word entrepreneur shall we?
Why does it matter though, you ask? True, everyone now associates entrepreneur as someone who had decided to free themselves of a corporate slave life and went for it and made themselves their own businesses.
So let's take a moment to appreciate the real meaning of an entrepreneur before we dive into specifics about the ones making it big in the tech sector. In modern times, a swathe of different types of profession claim to be entrepreneurs: Founder, business owner, inventor, creative, CEO, director, developer, partner, chairperson, and many others.
One of the best marketing strategy when you are a business or an individual who wants to get his brand out there, is to have your own website. Website design is very tricky and, unless you can do it yourself, you will need to find assistance in web design companies. Whether you are a big company or an individual who wants to market his product, there are many types of design firms our there that can suit the size of your budget. Web design companies vary in quality and quality should be your top most priority as getting a website will cost you a considerable amount, and while it's worth the investment, choosing the wrong design firm might just hurt your business instead. Here's a guide to help you select the perfect web design company for your business.
Surely a web design firm has their own website which contain their work history, the clients they had worked for, and most importantly, samples of their work. Once you've made an extensive directory of prospect web design companies and their individual styles, capabilities, client feedback, and fees, you will be able to narrow down your pick. Having a dialogue with the web design team is important so everyone can know what your vision is and with their own professional design sense, you will meet halfway to create the perfect website. If you are living in Houston, check out Rafferty Pendery and view their own website that has helped many marketing firms launch their businesses through websites.
Can we agree though that there are some things in common between these people and that they, to some degree, may be referred to as an entrepreneur right? However, you cannot classify a startup founder in the same league as a small business owner nor is he or she in the same category as an inventor with a patent but no business.
The real problem there is that we read so many books on how to become en entrepreneur but we lose sight of what it really means and what that profession truly entails.

New Year's Eve Party Kit Tips:
New Year's Eve party kits are an easy way to decorate your guests! Choose you color scheme and number of guests, and you have everything you need for your friends and family to ring in the New Year in style. Kits include everything from hats and tiaras, to confetti and noisemakers. An easy and economical way to celebrate.
|New Year's Party Kits for 100
|New Year's Party Kits for 50
|New Year's Party Kits for 25
|New Year's Party Kits for 10
New Year's Eve Party Kit Tips:
- When choosing a party kit it usually goes two ways, bright and colorful (for an informal or theme party) or black/white/silver/gold (for a more formal look). You need to decide if your party is more laid-back jello shots and signature drinks, or fancy champagne and glitz.
- Kits are set up for a certain number of people (10, 25, 50 or 100). It's nice to have a little overflow to give everyone a choice, so on the whole we recommend rounding up ( if you have 40 guests get a kit for 50). But you will have some guests who will not want to use the wearables, so don't stress and buy way over the number of people you expect.
- These party kits really have all the wearables you need for a New Year's Eve Party. BUT, if you want to supplement with a few more special items, here is what we recommend:
- Glow Products
- 2015 Glasses (these are hugely popular)
- Bubbles
- Confetti Poppers
- Beads and Leis (some kits have these and some do not)

Summer Vine
4x4 inches
acrylic on gessobord panel
This is a companion piece to yesterday's Fruits of Summer. Hopefully they both will be hanging at West Village Provisions next week. I am always thrilled to see the tomatoes on the vine at the grocery store during winter because they make me think of summer. However, I am always disappointed when I actually buy them - they have no flavor! I miss the summer tomatoes!
Can't believe that 2011 is just about over.....it went by so quickly! I have yet to sit down and write my goals for the upcoming year, but I hope to do that in the next few days. I think I did a pretty good job with my 2011 goals - I am looking forward to digging out that list and seeing just what I accomplished.
One thing I did do today was to look back to see how many paintings I completed this year. I did not start "Daily Painting" until late February - with the goal of 2-3 finished paintings/week. My final tally for the year - 126 paintings completed. This was a big number for me! My goal was to get back into the discipline of painting every day and pushing myself to complete more small paintings and not letting myself obsess over the little details that keep me from calling a painting finished. I think I made some progress here!
Anyways, I think this may be my last post for 2011 - I suspect the boys will keep me pretty busy tomorrow. So a very Happy New Year to you all....and see you in 2012!!
Summer Vine - $55 + $4.95 shipping in the US

Um, evidently a little too much three-bean salad, yesterday . . .
Yikes! And, I'm teaching today.
How do you spell Gas-X? [That may, or may not be redundant.]
Well, all I can say is I love this salad!
1 can black beans, rinsed
1 can garbanza beans, rinsed
2 cups cooked brown rice
1 cucumber, diced
1/2 red pepper, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
2 stems green onion, chopped fine [or red onion is excellent, too]
2 T Italian dressing
Salad Supreme and Natures
Whatever else you have in the fridge that's crunchy! I also love a dollop of cottage cheese on top!
I must have eaten at least four cups of this yesterday . . . two for lunch, two for dinner.
And, today I'm well, a little [um, gassy.] P.a.r.d.o.n.
[OK! I know it's really only two bean salad.] [I could hear you screaming at me.] Well, not really screaming . . .

Picture a world in which objects could be created with just a click of a button. New surfboard? Check. New sneakers? Check. New liver? Check [1,2,3]. This seemingly science fictional machine is slowly turning into a reality with the advent of the 3D printer. This device creates objects using additive manufacturing, essentially making 2D slices from a design and combining those pieces to create a finished 3D product [4]. The most popular methods of fusing the slices are SLS (selective laser sintering), FDM (fused deposition modeling), and SLA (stereolithography). SLS uses a laser to fuse powdered material, which removes the need for premade structures in which to hold the 2D pieces, thus allowing for unlimited geometries [4]. FDM printers, which are mainly used for rapid prototyping and manufacturing, build parts layer-by-layer by heating thermoplastic material to a semi-liquid state and extruding the material on computer-controlled paths [4]. Stereolithography uses a computer-controlled laser to draw the shape of the desired object onto a surface of liquid plastic [4]. The ability of all these methods to design and create intricate structures out of various materials opens a plethora of possibilities in the medical, manufacturing, and even educational fields. As such, five federal agencies have funded the 45 million dollar National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute, which focuses heavily on expanding and improving 3D printing [5].
Until recently, 3D printing had been primarily used for simple prototyping. However, businesses and hobbyists alike are already seeing substantial benefits over conventional manufacturing, since printed designs can go directly from computer to finished product in one step. This mechanism decreases the need for warehousing, because inventories can be stored as blueprints online that can be printed when needed. Furthermore, shipping costs are reduced for businesses and completely eliminated for products that can be printed by consumers at home. Finally, these products can be made anywhere. Take the case of a soldier running out of ammunition in Afghanistan. In the future, once 3D printing becomes portable, he could conceivably print out weaponry on the spot [6]. In addition, 3D printers conserve resources as the creation of parts leaves behind no excess material. Not only is manufacturing cheaper and quicker, but it also allows for stronger, lighter, and more functional products due to the customization of structure and materials that is difficult to replicate with conventional means. Numerous companies, such as aerospace titan Boeing, are already taking advantage of these benefits. Boeing has 3D printed over 22,000 parts of currently used aircraft and its current flagship model, the Dreamliner, contains 30 different 3D printed parts [7]. In addition, NASA is investigating the device's capability to create lunar structures and bases directly on the moon, as flying bulky structures to the moon would be costly and inefficient [8]. Currently, they are sponsoring the Contour Crafting project of Professor Behrokh Khoshnevis at University of Southern California, which utilizes massive 3D printers to create buildings. He is looking to revolutionize the housing industry by creating a giant 3D printer that can build a house in 24 hours [9]. First, the blueprint is created on computer software such as CAD (Computer-Aided Design) or CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) [9]. Then, builders place two rails a little farther than the intended building's width [9]. A 3D printer then uses a crane with a hanging nozzle and a mechanical components-placing arm that travels along the rail [9]. The nozzle shoots out concrete-like materials in layers to create hollow walls, which are then filled with more concrete. All construction workers would have to do is insert doors and windows [9]. Not only are these buildings made at a fraction of the time and cost of current building methods, but their walls are over three times stronger than the average building's [9].
In addition to enticing the entire manufacturing field, 3D printing is also attracting attention from laboratories for its potential in the bioprinting of human organs that could save and extend the lives of many. Due to the limitless material inputs including human cells and tissues, 3D printers are the most viable means to make the parts. An initial hurdle was to create the intricate structures of organs, but that was overcome by a group of scientists, who created a printer that works as seen below [10].
As the diagram shows, the final product is not made during printing; rather, the cells in the bio-ink, multi-cellular blocks, automatically rearrange themselves after printing through a recently discovered natural phenomenon. [11]. Once this obstacle was overcome, numerous organs have since been printed, such as the kidney, liver, and skin. The current hurdle preventing these organs from being transplanted into human bodies is the inability to create the specific tiny blood vessels in these organs which are necessary to carry nutrient-rich blood into the structure. To overcome this barrier, Dr. Stuart Williams of the Cardiovascular Innovation Institute, believes that the previously mentioned phenomenon of self-organizing cells holds the key to creating tiny structures, as even the best 3D printers will have difficulty manipulating at such microscopic levels [11]. Even so, the currently printed organs do respond to external chemicals the same way as human tissues do. This means that pharmaceutical companies can drastically speed up research, reduce the number of test animals, and save millions of dollars on drugs that work on animals but not on humans [11].
3D printing is also radically changing the field of education. This technology allows teachers to create models that not only facilitate the visualization of problems, but also reshape a student's mindset from that of a consumer to that of an inventor. Leon McCarthy, a student attending the Marblehead Community Charter School in Massachusetts, is an example of the transformative aspect of this technology [12]. He was born with a fingerless left hand and was unable to afford a prosthetic limb. At the age of 12, he and his teacher utilized the school's Makerbot 3D printer to create a 3D printed hand that has allowed Leon to play sports and use his left hand like any other able child [12]. Even 3D printer companies are seeing the important role that their product could play in this field. For instance, Makerbot, a key competitor in the 3D printing industry, has pledged to give each public school in Brooklyn a printer, and it hopes that one day every school will have one [13].
Although 3D printing has enormous potential, certain drawbacks need to be addressed before widespread adoption. One of its greatest advantages, open-source designs, is also one of its greatest flaws. A group of hobbyists have created designs for guns and uploaded them online for any person to access, download, and produce, thus bypassing government regulations on gun control [14]. Although guns made in this way can currently fire only a few bullets before cracking, they still pose a large threat, as multiple guns can easily be created [14]. Even more troubling is that these guns are made of plastic and thus are not detected by metal scanners. To counter this burgeoning threat, a Danish company called Create It Real has created software that blocks potential weapon designs from being viewed and used on 3D printers [14]. Still, the company's founder Jeremie Gray acknowledges that software in general can always be hacked, so a different long-term solution will probably be necessary resolve this issue [14].
3D printing clearly is revolutionizing various industries and has enormous potential for the future as the technology becomes cheaper and capable of printing larger and tinier structures. New organs will be created that can be transplanted into human bodies, and people will be able to view blueprints online and print them, instead shopping. These and so much more will one day become commonplace with the advent of the 3D printer. According to a McKinsey Global Institute study conducted this year, 3D printing will have a 100-300 billion dollar economic impact by 2025 and generate 4 trillion dollars worth of global sales [15]. Ultimately, as President Obama has stated, 3D printing "has the potential to revolutionize the way we make almost everything" [16].

July 25, 2018
10:00 - 11:00 a.m. CT
Kansas hospitals participating in the KHC Hospital Improvement Innovation Network (HIIN) are encouraged to attend a virtual meeting on Wednesday, July 25, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. CT. The monthly meetings provide direct access to subject matter experts, peer-to-peer sharing and KHC HIIN project leaders. This also is a good opportunity to stay in-the-know about the project, progress to date, resources and opportunities in quality and patient safety.
This month's topic will be a follow-up to the KHC HIIN Sepsis Champion Workshop, which was held in Manhattan on June 27.
Suzanne Fletcher, Wesley Healthcare sepsis coordinator, and Maryanne Whitney, Cynosure Health improvement advisor, and others will be on hand to continue the dialogue on several topics covered at the workshop that day.
In the evaluations received, several attendees asked for more information and discussion related to sepsis transfer and related barriers. Maryanne will share what a small group of hospitals learned during the recently completed HRET HIIN SNAP hospital project on sepsis transfers. (SNAP is the acronym for Safety Networks to Accelerate Performance, HRET's voluntary learning networks that address emerging best practices related to HIIN topics.) Maryanne also will introduce the new driver diagram and the transfer tool that was developed as a part of the SNAP, which was co-led by Suzie and Dr. Brent Duran at Wesley Healthcare. You will be among the first to have it!
We also will hear from Michelle Sigmund from the Kansas Foundation for Medical Care. She will introduce a new hospital-specific sepsis readmissions report that KFMC will soon be providing for your hospital.
