What do you expect from these 3 sessions?
If you cannot see iotclass-5, let me know.
Large corporations value its market in tens of trillions of dollars.
There are also plans to release tens of billions of connected devices.
Despite this, nobody seems to agree on what Internet of Things (IoT) actually is.
The only thing people agree on is that whatever it is, it is worth a lot of money.
And where there is a lot of money, there is a lot of competition, which means there is a lot of confusion!
Before we define IoT, let's look at why IoT?
IoT was a term first coined by Kevin Ashton, a British technology pioneer in 1999 when most data on the Internet was entered or captured by human beings.
Ashton coined the term to illustrate the power of using Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) tags in order to count and track goods more efficiently and without any human intervention.
So IoT = Sensor networks?
IoT is not same as sensor networks since `Things` doesn't have to be sensors and similarly sensor networks doesn't HAVE to be connected to Internet.
So IoT = Big data?
IoT is not same as Big Data because `Things` are not required to capture or generate data.
IoT is not part M2M because being on Internet, it is implied that humans can access these `Things` directly.
And No, IoT is also not CPS because CPS concern themselves with non-Internet protocols for transfer of messages between devices etc.
What the .... is IoT ?
The IoT is what we get when we connect `Things`, which are not operated by humans, to the Internet.
Something you can connect to..
Something that can connect to you..
Something that is connected to internet..
Something that crunches and exchanges data..
Something that connects to other things..
These network allows devices that adhere to a particular communication protocol to communicate.
Eg. Home Automation -- lights, door locks, thermostat etc.
In this model, the IoT device connects directly to an Internet cloud application service provider.
Eg. NEST, Samsung Smart TVs, etc.
CUSP's $4.2M NSF-funded project -- SONYC uses this model in production!
And so will we, in this course!
In this model, the IoT device connects to an Internet cloud application service provider via Local Gateway.
Users can export and analyze the smart object data from a cloud service in combination with data from other sources.
What governs the selection of communication models?
Debian has a reputation within the Linux community for being very high-quality, stable and scalable.
Extensive and friendly user community.

Lately I am all about the online classes. Not "real" classes, per se, but fun stuff, like classes on getting organized, classes on marketing your business, classes on blogging, etc. They are just too fun!!
At the moment I am in the midst of a blogging Q&A Webinar series, which is a follow-up to a 10 week blogging class, Smart Blogging Skills that was AWESOME!! So far so good.
And then my current favorite is a Kimberly Medlock Organization workshop. Love Love LOVE! I am all about getting organized, in every aspect of my life, and Kimberly is absolutely amazing. Google her, you'll love her! We've gone over organizing your physical filing cabinet as well as your Outlook, and I can't wait to see what is next!
I found a new friend's blog, http://doadiecut.blogspot.com/ which centers around scrapbooking. A passion of mine. And she posted some adorable photos of stuff she's made, which totally sucked me in. She makes adorable stuff, and has an Etsy store in which she sells it, so check it out. Much cuteness awaits.
So in February (during which time we've already established I was away from the blog-world for no good reason) I went on a retreat weekend put on by my Director for myself and some other of HER Directors. This was just way too much fun and SUCH a productive weekend. AND we had a professional photographer come and take pictures of us, too (she was great – see her logo on all the photos and check out her site!!). So here are a couple of me and a couple of myself with the other women from the retreat. All of us are Thirty-One ladies, and definitely spent the weekend embodying the Thirty-One Celebrate | Encourage | Reward motto!!
Yeah, okay, so it's almost April and I haven't blogged since like the early 1800's or something, but let's go ahead and see if this thing is still on, eh?
So I could promise to do better, but you've heard it all before. So let's just say that I'm working on trying, and working on putting some schedules and systems BACK in place that will allow me to keep up on things in a whole lot of other areas of my life. Wish me luck. Cause clearly I need it.


During the past couple of visits to the library, G4 students had had time to read and explore picture books by authors and illustrators of Asian background: Allen Say, Ed Young and Ying Chang Compestine. Our main goal was to get students interested in the picture books by these authors/illustrators as well as in picture books in general to demonstrate that no one is ever too old to enjoy a good picture book.
Students at first focused mainly on the art work and how images can extend the meaning of a story as well as the reader's enjoyment. We even tried out reading the beginning of one of Allen Say's books without the illustrations. Students realised that in this case, without the images, they had little information about what the characters and the setting looked like. With a standard picture book consisting of just 32 pages, authors must choose every word very carefully, omitting in text what can be told through the illustrations as for example detailed descriptions of characters and setting.
During their last visit to the library before the winter break, G4 students got to try out a mind mapping tool (Popplet) on the iPads while searching for interesting facts about the authors/illustrators. Working in groups, students used books and websites to search for information about the authors/illustrators to then transfer and represent their findings in a Popplet. Below just two examples of what students were able to put together in a short amount of time. There was much interest for the Popplet app and I promised our students that they would have other opportunities during the second semester to use this tool to share their thinking and learning. In the same way, we saw an increase in the inclusion of picture books during check out, which we will continue to encourage also when returning from winter break.


The Indian telecom industry's revenues dropped 11.7 percent year-on-year, and 8.5 percent sequentially due to free services by the Mukesh Ambani-led telco Reliance Jio, Jefferies said in a note. "Jio effect was also evident in decline being maximum in metro and A circles where Reliance Jio has a higher penetration, and where the smartphone ecosystem is better developed," it added.
However, Jio's user acquisition speed has slowed down from 5.83 million users in March.
A report from Goldman Sachs said that Jio added 0.4 million active (VLR) subscribers in April, its fourth straight month of deceleration and with Jio starting to charge from April, the slowdown in subscriber additions is likely to continue in coming months as well. After becoming a paid service, the subscriber addition of Jio slowed down and it's continuing with every passing month. And the month of April is no different as well. The net additions of Jio were 3.9 million, while active subs stand at 0.4 million.
Total 4G smartphone installed base of 131 million in India implies that Jio is penetrated into 86 percent of the devices (61 percent by active subscribers).
Jefferies further said that the higher growth from data services, the decline in voice and the lower investments made by telcos outside the top three has started showing up in a steeper decline in revenue for them.
"The Top-3 combined now have a 76 percent revenue market share in the industry. As we stressed in previous reports, this decline in smaller operators would be extrapolated to industry consolidation," Jefferies.
"However, we think India will remain a five player market at best, with three equally strong competitors (Bharti, Voda-Idea combined, Jio) being as bad for incumbents as a fragmented market at present," it added.
Data market was overpriced and is now going through a phase of correction which is hastened by Jio's entry other wise the incumbent operatoes were not ready to take even 3G to the low revenue generating areas of India.
JIO free effect will come down soon on incumbents as July approaches. Summer Surprise Offer Ends soon, my Jio Summer Surprise Offer will expire by mid July.

This post has been conceptualized for IndiBlogger's "Share Life Blogger Contest" in collaboration with Tata Docomo. Tata DOCOMO has launched Alcatel OneTouch Net phone to help you share life as you live it. Go check it out !! I present an idea for a new Smartphone App.
We live in a World of uncertainties; you never know what will happen in the next few moments. People tend to take all kind of precautions to be able to counter or more realistically, face these uncertainties. Natural Calamities, Accidents, Crimes are some examples of these uncertainties and they have direct imminent danger on human lives (and maybe our near and dear ones).
Keeping the above context in mind and considering the kind of progress technology has made in the Cellular technology, one thing comes to my mind, how to use this technology to decrease or at least be more prepared for these uncertainties. As we all know that the Cellular Network is maintained through a network of antennas and Cellular phones communicate through these antennas.
At any point of time, the approximate location of a cell phone can be determined depending on which Cell Tower it is receiving signal from. So it might be possible for Cellular companies to find out the approximate location of a sim (phone). I have read several instances of phone companies helping Police in their investigations through Cell Phone tracking. When such a technology is there, why don't provide it to commoners.
Based on the above bit of Info, I thought of an Application that will enable tracking of a phone based on the base station the phone is receiving signal from. Of course there will be some rules around which this application will be built. The Tracking will only be allowed given a written permission obtained from the tracked phone owner, you can't just track any xyz number. This will enable tracking the location of any individual provided he/she is carrying the phone (and it is on and catching network).
This application will be of great help to parents who want to keep an eye on their children and track their whereabouts. Also it will be helpful for managing small scale Sales teams and the sales manager will be able to track the team on the field and of course catch any lies (if any). Needless to say it might also be used by people to track their spouses for safety reason (tell this reason only, else you are screwed ;-)). What I am trying to say is the uses of this application can be numerous and since it requires permission from a subscriber to be tracked, it doesn't hinder anyone's privacy as well.
As all applications, it has some loopholes as well. This application has no use if the phone is switched off, is out of signal area, or is left at a certain place. But barring these situations it can prove to be an excellent application for people to be in touch with each other and know their whereabouts all the time.
It shows an excellent avenue for Phone Companies as well to earn extra revenue (as they will be providing the service). All in all, it's a win all situation.
Now there are two main reasons it hasn't taken off. Firstly, system constraints 🙂 .Telecom Techn0logy is run on (in 90% of telecom operators worldwide) third generation Eriksson IN's (Intelligent network), and these systems are notoriously fickle and unreliable (which cannot be helped as they deal with immense loads of data). Which is why any maintenance or changes in Telecom products are done at 12 midnight (my sympathies to any telecommunication engineers reading this over the night shift).
For an application to dig out in near real time (without unstablizing the whole system) the location of 1 among 10 mn subs across 18000 BSC ID's is tricky and terribly sluggish in practice. Which is the reason even the police have to wait a couple of hours to get any answers while they are trying to use location tracking to solve crimes.
Another reason why location tracking hasn't taken off is that a cell tower approximately covers a 5 square mile area, so your application may tell you that your child is somewhere in Bandra, it will not be able to tell you whether he is in a movie hall in Bandra or in his evening tution classes. Similarly, a marketer may be sending out a targeted mobile ad for an eatery to somewhere who latched on to a nearby tower while traveling between Delhi and Mumbai.
Very Informative post.All the best for the contest.

Q: JS For Loop Stopping Early after Calling Function I have a Javascript Array that holds the contents of a page. In order to draw all the objects in the right places when the page loads I loop over the array and pull out the elements. This worked very well until I allowed the objects to have children within them.
The current array structure is
0-> {elements=[] frame={I keep the frame attributes here with key value pairs}}, 1-> {elements=[] frame={}}
However, I just started adding sub-elements to the elements array in each object. So now I have to loop through/draw each element, check to see if there are any children and if so then I have to draw them too.
The problem I'm having is that after I loop through the first 0 object and it's children the for loop stops running. Is it because I'm calling the same function multiple times? I've done that before so I don't think that's what is happening.
this.run_loop = function (spawn, dom) {
    console.log(spawn)
    alert(spawn.length)
    for (i = 0; i < spawn.length; i++) {
        console.log(spawn[i])
        //alert("i one")
        var newdom = dom + "_" + i;
        this.synthesize_elements(spawn[i], dom, newdom)
        if (spawn[i].hasOwnProperty('elements')) {
            //alert("FOUND")
            var newarray = spawn[i]['elements'];
            if (newarray.length > 0) {
                this.run_loop(newarray, newdom)
            }
        }
    }
}

A: This is a little old but I encountered a similar issue and found my way here, but I figured it out and thought I'd post the solution if anyone else came across this. The issue in my case (and it looks like in your case as well though I can't be sure) was in the declaration of the for loop:
for (i = 0; i < spawn.length; i++)

You're not declaring that i is a new var. so if anything inside the
this.run_loop(newarray, newdom)

function also manipulates a counter variable called i that isn't declared a new var, it will also change the one in your outer scope, and kick you out of the loop if it goes over the length of spawn
just always declare:
for (var i; i< spawn.length; i++)

in your loops or make sure your counters are unique.

The Fourth Courier
Written by Timothy Jay Smith — Take a walk back in time to Warsaw in 1992 with Timothy Jay Smith's new crime thriller, The Fourth Courier. The Cold War has recently ended, but average citizens are struggling to make sense of the new economic realities. Nothing quite works yet, and the grey concrete dullness of Soviet brutalist architecture is made even harsher by the dismal April weather. Politically, old relationships are unraveling, and chaos in the Eastern Bloc raises an important question: who's watching the nukes?
The Warsaw police are dealing with a baffling series of murders. Over a short span of weeks, three unidentified young men have been shot dead, their bodies abandoned on the banks of the Vistula River, one cheek slit open, all labels expertly cut from their clothing. Now there's a fourth victim, older this time.
The police have no idea who these men are, yet they can deduce some information. The fourth man is most probably Russian. "Look at his teeth," a police official says. "Only Russians use so much gold."
They assume the dead men were couriers, taking advantage of Poland's porous borders to traffic in something. It's hard to say what, until the forensic pathologist notices the third victim has traces of radiation on his hands. Whatever he had been smuggling, from wherever and to whomever, it was a risky, high-stakes enterprise and one that Poland's new Solidarity government wants help in ending.
American aid comes to them from the FBI in the person of Jay Porter, who in turn calls on the expertise of the US Embassy's Acting Regional Security Officer (a CIA officer, Porter immediately and correctly concludes), a gay black man named Kurt Crawford and the ambassador, who lets Porter and Crawford tackle the case in their own way. He even helps them when he can do so without dirtying his hands. There are good interactions and good humour among the three Americans. They all want the same result – to stop what looks like nuclear smuggling – but each has a totally different way of going about it.
Porter will handle the murders and interact with the police. Meanwhile, Crawford is concerned about the war in Yugoslavia where the political situation is deteriorating. Leaders there might have their eyes on more powerful weapons than the smuggled Polish armaments they've been getting. The ambassador just wants to stay above the fray.
Picking up his lost suitcase at the airport, Porter meets an attractive Polish woman, Lilka, whom he strikes up a conversation with. She's divorced from her husband, but the apartments in Poland are so few and so small that they still live together. He starts seeing Lilka, which gives author Smith a vehicle for introducing aspects of everyday Polish life – not just living arrangements, but the shortages, the cranky cars, the small indulgences and the meanness of their surroundings immediately post-communism.
The four courier, it turns out, has sufficient radiation on his shoes and elsewhere to peg him as someone who worked in a Russian nuclear facility, and Porter's assistant back in Washington identifies a nuclear storage site where small, but consistent amounts of radioactive materials have gone missing.
On another track, Smith introduces Yugoslav General Dravko Mladic, head of the country's State Security Service. He's a narcissist with a vision of a resurgent Yugoslavia, cleansed of non-Serbs. At a conference he met Russia's Dr Sergej Ustinov, a physicist who has developed a portable atomic bomb and wants to escape to the West. The two see a confluence of interests. Ustinov is a sprightly old man, full of wit, even when discussing the most destructive weapons and he develops a meticulous plan to smuggle the components out of Russia and into Poland using a series of couriers. Four, in fact.
Perhaps there are a couple too many coincidences in the cast of characters in this story, but all the characters are distinctive and interesting, even the minor ones. There's some steamy sex. And, the settings, from a drably elegant hotel favoured by Mladic to a seedy bar in the bowels of the train station, to the wasteland near the river put you right in the scene.

An artist/bohemian kind working for themselves is perceived in a variety of methods by the general public. Nevertheless, artists get pleasure from charcoal for its versatile capability to capture both gestures and feelings with an intuitive combination of the smooth and the darkish. His mom, who was additionally a painter, encouraged her son to have an artistic curiosity. This was good coaching, as it turned out, for an artist about to blow up onto the pop art scene.
As few of them may have context as to what a soldier really does past something they see in a video game, she raised an excellent level that we should honour all service individuals, whether or not they be military, police, paramedics, firefighter, and so on; a sentiment that I heartily agree with.
As part of a forthcoming UK-vast mission for 2018, Bren might be curating a shifting picture programme for touring a number of venues of work by women artists across China in association with CAFA : Central Academy of Advantageous Arts, Beijing.
It adopted the Nouveau Réalisme exhibition on the Galerie Rive Droite in Paris, and marked the worldwide debut of the artists who soon gave rise to what came to be referred to as Pop Artwork in Britain and The United States and Nouveau Réalisme on the European continent.
Gifted people who have developed a mastery of artistic methods and marketing skills are more likely to have the very best job prospects. An artist is now someone who sells work through a business system, to people they may not know, whose political and social affiliations they might not know.


A lynchpin in South Africa's new generation of jazz musicians, KwaZulu-Natal-born guitarist and vocalist Sibusile Xaba has all the makings of an acoustic guitar master. With a vocal style that is part dreamscaping and part ancestral invocation, Xaba divines as opposed to plainly singing. Combined with a guitar style that is rooted in expressive picking, Xaba's music shatters the confines of genre, taking only the fundamentals from mentors such as Madala Kunene and Dr Philip Tabane and imbuing these with a mythology and improvisational intensity all of his own.
'Open Letter to Adoniah' is an album reverent of life and its connectedness to a higher source. The music emanates from dreams revealed to guitarist Sibusile Xaba over consecutive days. With percussionists Thabang Tabane and Moahanganai Magagula, the trio coalesces both geographic and spiritual influences, hinting at Maskandi (a music style dominant in Xaba's native KwaZulu-Natal) and the improvisational culture of South Africa's jazz avant garde. Collectively, the musicians remold these influences, situating them within rhythms that span the continent. Thabang Tabane's influence over the project gives it a spiritual sensibility allusive to the Malombo Music his father, Dr Philip Tabane, originated in the late 1960s.
Mushroom Hour Half Hour is a Johannesburg based, independent record label and mobile recording studio that unearths and records unique music from the African continent. Xaba's debut project is Mushroom Hour's first international release. The second will be the eagerly awaited debut album of Thabang Tabane in September 2017.

Summary: Researchers in a new study, have determined that early thirdhand smoke exposure is also associated with increased incidence and severity of lung cancer in mice.
Field studies in the U.S. and China have confirmed that the presence of thirdhand smoke (is a residual nicotine and other chemicals left on indoor surfaces by tobacco smoke) in indoor environments is widespread, and traditional cleaning methods are not effective at removing it. Because exposure to thirdhand smoke can occur via inhalation, ingestion, or uptake through the skin, young children who crawl and put objects in their mouths are more likely to come in contact with contaminated surfaces and are therefore the most vulnerable to thirdhand smoke's harmful effects. Researchers at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory identified thirdhand smoke, the toxic residues that linger on indoor surfaces and in dust long after a cigarette has been extinguished, as a health hazard nearly 10 years ago. Now a new study has determined that early thirdhand smoke exposure is also associated with increased incidence and severity of lung cancer in mice. The study findings were published in the journal Clinical Science.
In this study, an experimental cohort of 24 A/J mice (a strain susceptible to spontaneous lung cancer development) was housed with scraps of fabric impregnated with thirdhand smoke from the age of 4 to 7 weeks. The dose the mice received was estimated to be about 77 micrograms per kilogram of body weight per day comparable to the ingestion exposure of a human toddler living in a home with smokers. Forty weeks after the last exposure, these mice were found to have an increased incidence of lung cancer (adenocarcinoma), larger tumors, and a greater number of tumors, compared to 19 control mice. Their work also sheds light on what happens on both a molecular and cellular level. If thirdhand smoke toxins damage DNA within cells and the damage is not repaired properly, it can give rise to mutations, which may lead to the cell becoming cancerous.


Thanks in advance, I'm stumped.
I have a server that after reboot, apache starts throwing out "cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory". It is looking for a perl library, that is there. Here is where it gets weird. Logging in as the root user, I can see and access the file and LDD shows the correct path. I can also see and use the file fine as the "order" user which apache uses.
I can make this error go away by stopping and starting apache using apachectl stop/start.
If I use service httpd restart, or stop/start, or apachectl restart, the error comes back.
Why? It's driving me nuts. I believe it has something to do with suexec, but I'm not sure.
Ultimately, I need to get apache to start and work correctly after a reboot.
What control panel are you using?
You have not identified which version of httpd and perl you are using, nor what file cannot be opened.
The symptoms you describe are most likely caused by a mislabeled file with the wrong selinux context. Things started by the initscripts are given a different selinux context than things started using the command line version and they can be denied access to the same things that a command line session would be allowed access to.
If selinux is disabled then my theory is wrong.
CentOS 5.11 is the current, supported version.
1) Stop disabling SELinux - it's actually there to help.
2) Perhaps it would be wise to su in as the user that runs Apache. I can't remember on CentOS 5, but I think the entry in /etc/passwd is (something like) /sbin/nologin. Change that to /bin/bash so you can login and try and read the file. In some cases it could be that the permissions are blocking it higher up in the tree.
3) Confirm that the file is correct - that it's not corrupted and is of the right class (32 vs 64 bit) for the rest of the system. I guess the easiest way is to start perl and try and use the module.
I know! I've only been here 6 months...Believe me I'm trying to upgrade these systems as quickly as possible. We still have 4 systems on CentOS 4. It's a disaster and I'm just barely treading water.
I only discovered this issue because I rebooted after patching for ghost.
Long story short, can't upgrade right now, but trying to automate/fix known issues as I go.

New law is aimed at easing burden of homelessness on Portland
But the president of the Maine Welfare Directors Association doesn't believe Sen. Ben Chipman's bill will have much of an impact on service center communities such as Portland and Bangor.
By Randy BillingsStaff Writer
A new law may help homeless Mainers get public assistance in their hometowns rather than being forced to go to Portland and other communities that operate emergency shelters.
The law sets a broad new definition of homelessness and declares it an emergency at any time of year, changes that supporters hope will lead to more General Assistance support being available in communities around the state.
"There are a lot of people coming here because they could not get help in their own community," said state Sen. Ben Chipman, D-Portland, who sponsored the legislation. Chipman said he expects the law will have "measurable impact" on Portland's shelters, which are overflowing.
In the past, ambiguities have allowed some municipalities to deny public assistance to residents during the summer or if they were sleeping in a tent or on someone's couch, Chipman said.
But the impact on Portland is not certain. The head of the Maine Welfare Directors Association expects little to change because many small towns in Maine lack housing or hotels to shelter people even if those people qualify for General Assistance.
Mills signed the law, An Act To Include Homelessness in the Laws Governing Emergency General Assistance, late last week. The fiscal note says there would not be a significant impact on the state budget, which Chipman said is because the law will change only which community provides the assistance, and not expand eligibility or benefits.
It defines homelessness as meeting at least one of six criteria, including living in a place that is not fit for human habitation or in temporary housing such as a hotel or campground. It also includes people leaving a hospital or institution, someone fleeing violence or someone lacking the resources to remain in a primary nighttime residence.
The law also says that a person experiencing or facing homelessness is in a state of emergency, broadening the eligibility standards for General Assistance.
Portland budget proposal would cap number of people served at homeless shelters
It comes as Portland's shelters are overflowing and elected officials in Portland are reviewing the city's policy of sheltering anyone in need, whether they come from Portland or elsewhere. It also comes as the city has begun designing a new emergency shelter with as many as 150 beds in the Riverton neighborhood.
Advocates for the homeless are worried that the proposed capacity of the new shelter will be too small, given that the city routinely exceeds 200 people at the Oxford Street Shelter and overflow space. City officials are hoping community partnerships for housing and specialty shelters, and other potential policy changes, will reduce the demand.
Chipman said the legislation should help the situation by easing pressure on shelters such as those in Portland, Brunswick, Waterville and Bangor. "It should reduce the number of people in our shelter and save Portland some money," Chipman said.
Although the city lobbied for the legislation, Portland City Hall Communications Director Jessica Grondin said in an email that city staff have not had time to study how it will affect demand for services in Portland. The Portland City Council's Health & Human Services and Public Safety Committee last week asked city staff to look into the law's impact on Portland.
Oxford Street Shelter took in 257 homeless people on Monday night
Rindy Fogler, Bangor's General Assistance manager and president of the Maine Welfare Directors Association, does not believe the bill will have a big impact on service center communities such as hers. That's because many small towns do not have housing or motels to shelter people who lose their homes or apartments.
"In actuality, I'm not sure it's going to change existing practices a whole lot," Fogler said. "I think the smaller communities in some cases are still going to refer their folks to a homeless shelter. And you can't stop folks from going where they want to go."
However, if municipalities do have housing or motels in their communities, they are obligated to provide shelter for their own residents. "If a community has the resources available to help someone in an emergency, they absolutely should be held accountable for doing that," she said.
Fogler said the bill was endorsed by her association, but only after Portland officials said they would not try to collect money from other municipalities when people come to the shelter without first asking for help in their home communities. Portland's unsuccessful attempt to send bills to surrounding communities for shelter expenses created "much discontent" among the group, she said.
"Once they gave their word they were no longer going to bill other communities, the Welfare Directors Association was fine with supporting the bill," Fogler said. "That's the rub. I understand the frustration that the outlying communities aren't pulling their weight with regards to General Assistance."
Between fiscal 2014 and 2018, 36 percent of the 7,974 single men and women who checked into Portland's Oxford Street Shelter said they previously lived in another Maine town or city, according to city data. Over that same period, 30 percent of those intakes were people who reported their prior residence as Portland; 27 percent who reported their prior residence as another state; and 9 percent reported their prior residence as another country.
General Assistance is a safety net program that provides vouchers for shelter, utilities, food, medicine and other necessities. The costs are shared between the state and municipalities, with the state reimbursing municipalities 70 percent of their expenses. In fiscal 2018, Portland expected to spend $6.4 million on General Assistance, including $5.5 million on client expenses, for which it was reimbursed about $3.8 million.
Several groups, including the nonprofit social services agency Preble Street and the Maine Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, Maine Equal Justice Partners and the Community Housing of Maine, testified in support of the bill in April.
Tina Heather Nadeau, executive director of the lawyer's group, said she was appreciative of the broad definition of homelessness. She said that people often encounter the criminal justice system after they end up on the streets
"If we deprive people of the support they need to restabilize, our jails will continue to be filled with people who are trapped in a cycle of poverty," Nadeau said. "We cannot arrest or incarcerate our way out of chronic homelessness. Incarceration is enormously expensive, as is emergency treatment."
But Fogler said the only way to truly stem the demand at homeless shelters is by creating affordable housing.
"There has to be a statewide approach to looking at affordable housing, rather than community by community, because it's such a big issue," she said.

Mary Church Terrell, a writer, educator, and activist, co-founded the National Association of Colored Women and served as the organization's first president. Known as "Mollie" to her family, Church who was born in Memphis, Tennessee in 1863, lived a life of privilege due to the economic success of her parents, both former slaves. Her mother, Louisa Ayres Church, owned a hair salon, while her father, Robert Reed Church, was the first black millionaire in the South due to his business and real estate dealings. Church's parents divorced when she and her brother were young, and her father remarried.
Church left her hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, at an early age to enroll at the elementary school at the Antioch College laboratory school in Ohio. She remained in Ohio to attend both Oberlin Academy and Oberlin College, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Classical Languages in 1884. She earned a Master's degree from Oberlin four years later.

These records are a work in progress. A number of results from Sri Chinmoy's early years in America have, unfortunately, been lost over time. Again, other events in which Sri Chinmoy participated may come to light. This table contains a mixture of official races and key training sessions. Since Sri Chinmoy placed more emphasis on personal progress than on competition, he regarded both marks as equally important. His training sessions are also valuable indicators of the dedication he brought to his beloved track and field events. In later years, when the condition of his knees would no longer permit him to sprint or jump, he still participated wherever possible in the throwing events. These records are from the notebooks and records of Bipin, Ketan, Savita, Chetana and Vidagdha.

Polis column: Fulfilling a promise to Jake and all students
By Rep. Jared Polis |
Every night before she falls asleep, Misty Gregory is plagued by the same question: "Have I done enough?" Misty's son Jake is a fourth grader in Fort Collins who lives with multiple disabilities including cerebral palsy, legal blindness and global developmental delay. For Misty, the answer will always be no. At least, she says, until the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) finally gets the full funding promised by Congress over four decades ago.
Students like Jake deserve every opportunity to excel in school. Moreover, all students in the U.S., regardless of zip code or ability, have the right to a top-notch education.
Education is the single best investment we can make in our future, but for decades we have underfunded our public schools. Budgetary shortfalls have left our students without many of the resources they need, and it's caused districts to cut teaching positions and severely underpay their teachers to meet existing special education requirements.
Our failure to fully fund special education has left too many students without the tools they need to succeed and dramatically impacted school budgets.
That is why I introduced a bill that will fully fund the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). IDEA funding pays for classroom resources to meet the special needs of students with disabilities.
When Congress enacted IDEA in 1975, the federal government committed to putting forth 40 percent of the overall cost of educating students with disabilities, asking states and districts to fulfill the rest of the cost. Since IDEA's inception, the federal government hasn't come close to meeting their commitment, currently paying less than 16 percent of costs. In Colorado, the funding shortfall has left districts to cover an average of 70 percent of the costs of special education turning special education into yet another unfunded mandate.
The burden could quickly get even heavier under President Trump's proposed budget. Our education system is at risk of suffering $9.2 billion in cuts — equating to a 13.5 percent overall spending decrease for education. On top of that, President Trump has proposed hundreds of billions in cuts to Medicaid, which would disproportionately impact kids with disabilities, including services provided at their schools.
By comparison, the Department of Defense receives more federal funding than any other government service. We spend more on our military than the next 10 nations combined, exceeding the funds that the U.S. military even asks for or needs. This year alone, the budget plans in both the House of Representatives and Senate allocated tens of billions of dollars more to the military than the Department of Defense requested. With that extra, unrequested military allocation, we can and should fully fund IDEA. By simply funding the military at the level that they themselves have requested to keep our nation safe, and eliminating additional pork that Congress imposes on the military, Congress would free up the money to fully fund IDEA special education.
It's past time for us to fulfill our promise to Jake, his classmates, and all of our children. It is fiscally responsible to invest in education, it is morally just, and it is the American way. Each and every child deserves an opportunity, and it's in America's best interest to provide it.

Call For Papers, ACM IMC 2021, Online
The Internet Measurement Conference (IMC) is a highly selective venue for the presentation of measurement-based research in data communications. The focus of IMC 2021 will be on research that improves the practice of network measurement, illuminates some facet of an operational network, or both. We encourage authors to discuss the implications of their results on future research and/or operations. We encourage authors to discuss representativeness and limitations of their work due to coverage of their measurements across space and time. Finally, we encourage authors to validate inferences using ground truth.
IMC takes a broad view of contributions that are considered in scope for improving the practice of network measurement, including, but not limited to:
collection and analysis of data that yield new insights about network structure and network performance (e.g., traffic, topology, routing, energy utilization, performance)
collection and analysis of data that yield new insights about application and end-user behavior (e.g., economics, privacy, security, application interaction with protocols)
measurement-based modeling (e.g., workloads, scaling behavior, assessment of performance bottlenecks, causality)
methods and tools to monitor and visualize network-based phenomena
systems and algorithms that build on measurement-based findings
Novel methods for data collection, analysis, and storage (e.g., anonymization, querying, sharing)
reappraisal of previous empirical network measurements and measurement-based conclusions
descriptions of challenges and future directions the measurement community should pursue
Networks of interest include:
Internet transit networks
edge networks, including home networks, broadband access networks (e.g., cable, fiber), and cellular networks
data center networks and cloud computing infrastructure
peer-to-peer, overlay, and content distribution networks
software-defined networks
online social networks
online services, platforms, and content providers
experimental networks, prototype networks, and future Internetworks
Authors unsure about topical fit are welcome to contact the program committee co-chairs at imc2021pcchairs@sigcomm.org.
Review process and criteria
IMC 2021 invites two forms of submissions:
Full papers (up to 13 pages for text and figures + unlimited pages for references and appendix) that describe original research, with succinctness appropriate to the topics and themes they discuss.
Short papers (up to 6 pages for text and figures + unlimited pages for references and appendix) that convey work that is less mature but shows exciting promise, OR offer results that do not merit a full submission. Short papers could articulate a high-level vision and describe challenging future directions that the authors believe the community should tackle; validate, verify, or update important results; or present new ideas that challenge existing assumptions.
Any submission exceeding the short paper page-length limit will be evaluated as a full paper.
Authors should submit only original work that has not been published before and is not under submission to any other venue. We will consider full paper submissions that extend previously published short, preliminary papers (including IMC short papers), following the model of the ACM SIGCOMM policy.
IMC 2021 will bestow two awards on paper submissions, (1) a Best Paper award; and (2) a Community Contribution award. The best paper award will recognize the outstanding paper at the conference, and all accepted papers are eligible for it. The community contribution award will recognize a paper with an outstanding contribution to the community in the form of a new dataset, source code distribution, open platform, or other noteworthy service to the community. To be eligible for the community award, the authors must make data or source code publicly available or have a software artifact that is accessible and usable by the public at the time of the camera-ready deadline. The authors indicate their eligibility on the submission form and are also encouraged to include a link to the contribution in the submitted paper.
A few accepted papers may be forwarded for fast-track submission to IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking.
Early Rejection
The review process will have several reviewing rounds. To allow authors time to improve their work and submit to other venues, authors of submissions for which there is a consensus on rejection will be notified early.
Anonymity Guidelines
Authors are expected to make a good-faith effort to anonymize papers. As an author, you should not identify yourself in the paper either explicitly or by implication (e.g., through the references).
Anonymization of important details are not required, if they are critical for the evaluation of the paper. For example, system names may be left de-anonymized, if the system name is important for a reviewer to be able to evaluate the work, and the paper may point to existing public datasets and artifacts that highlight or underscore the contributions outlined in the paper.
Please follow the following guidelines:
Author names and affiliations must not appear on any submission.
Identifying information such as grant numbers must not be included on submissions.
The text of the submission must refer to the authors' own previous work in the third person, unless the previous work provides important context for evaluation of the existing contribution (e.g., the paper describes an implementation or deployment of a method previously developed by the same authors).
Additional details on paper anonymity are available here and in the statement released by the IMC Steering Committee here.
Research involving experiments with human subjects or user data (e.g., network traffic, passwords, social network information) should adhere to community norms. Any work that raises potential ethics considerations should indicate this on the submission form. The basic principles of ethical research are outlined in the Belmont Report: (1) respect for persons (which may involve obtaining consent); (2) beneficence (a careful consideration of risks and benefits); and (3) justice (ensuring that parts of the population that bear the risks of the research also are poised to obtain some benefit from it).
Research involving human subjects must be approved by the researchers' respective Institutional Review Boards before the research takes place. Authors should indicate on the submission form whether the work involves human subjects, and, if so, if an IRB protocol has been approved for the research. We also expect that any research follows the practices and procedures of the institution(s) where the work is being carried out; for example, some universities require separate approval for the use of campus data. We expect researchers to abide by these protocols.
Some research does not involve human subjects yet nonetheless raises questions of ethics, which may be wide-ranging and not necessarily limited to direct effects. We encourage authors to be mindful of the ethics of the research that they undertake; these considerations are often not clear-cut, but often warrant thoughtful consideration. The program committee may raise concerns around the ethics of the work, and so we ask authors to outline these considerations explicitly in a separate appendix section (clearly marked with an appendix section heading "Ethics"), and when appropriate for context, in the body of the paper. The submission form will include a way to alert reviewers of this additional material.
Additionally, the program committee reserves the right to conduct additional evaluations and reviews of research ethics and reserves the right to independent judgment concerning the ethics of the conducted research.
Contact the program committee co-chairs at imc2021pcchairs@sigcomm.org if you have any questions.
All submissions must satisfy the following requirements:
Full papers: up to 13 pages for technical content + unlimited pages for references and appendix
Short papers: up to 6 pages for technical content + unlimited pages for references and appendix
Formatting should be as follows:
10-point font for main text. Fonts used in other elements of the paper (e.g., figures) should be no smaller than 9 point.
Two-column format, with the size of each column being at most 3.33 x 9.25 inches and the space between columns being at least 0.33 inches letter page size (8.5 x 11 inches)
Submissions that do not comply with these requirements will be rejected without review. The new ACM template style file satisfies the formatting requirements, provided you compile your source with options that produce letter page size and 10-point fonts. The following settings in your LaTeX source should achieve that (but please verify the output):

If you are reasonably fit, you don't need to catch a bus to the Alhambra. You can walk up the Cuesta Gomérez or the Cuesta de los Chinos. It takes about 15-20 minutes and is uphill.
This is the best bus to go to the Alhambra (Gran Vía - Alhambra - Plaza Nueva - Albaicín - Gran Vía).
This bus goes to the Alhambra from Plaza Isabel la Católica.
This bus does not go to the Alhambra but it goes to may interesting places such as Mirador de San Nicolas, Paseo de los Tristes, Sacromonte, Plaza Nueva, the Albaicin.
The C34 is similar to the C31 but also goes to the Sacromonte.

Vantage Service Engines will send an ICMP ping to the server. This monitor type is generally very fast and lightweight for both Service Engines and the server; however, it's not uncommon for ping to drop a packet and fail. It is important to ensure the Failed Checks field is set to at least 2. This monitor type does not test the health of the application, so it generally works best when applied in conjunction with an application specific monitor for the Pool.
Note: It is possible for ICMP rate limiters to prevent Service Engines from aggressively health checking a server via ping. This may be caused by an intermediate network firewall or rate limits set up on the server itself.
Successful Checks: Number of consecutive health checks that must succeed before Vantage marks a down server as being back up.
Failed Checks: Number of consecutive health checks that must fail before Vantage marks an up server as being down.

Q: Flask-SQLAlchemy best approach to taking out parent after removing all children You are able to delete all children after their associate parent gets deleted cascadingly, but what about the opposite way? In this many-to-one relationship:
class RecipeTag(db.Model):

    __tablename__ = "recipe_tags"
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    recipe_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey("recipes.id", ondelete="CASCADE"), nullable=False)
    tag_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey("tags.id", ondelete="CASCADE"), nullable=False)

    parent = db.relationship("Tag", cascade="all, delete", single_parent=True, back_populates="children")

class Tag(db.Model):

    __tablename__  = "tags"
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    tag = db.Column(db.String, nullable=False)

    children = db.relationship("RecipeTag", cascade="all, delete, delete-orphan", back_populates="parent")

The RecipeTag will connect the Recipe model with the Tag model via foreign keys. However, many recipes will use the same tag, thus a Tag can have multiple references from RecipeTag. So when a recipe gets deleted, all its associated recipe_tags get deleted as well automatically through cascade deletes, leaving some tags to be childless. So it doesn't need to exist anymore.
I was thinking of querying all of the tags and pick ones out that have no children left like so:
class Tag(db.Model):
    ...
    @staticmethod
    def delete_after_no_children():
        tags = Tag.query.all()
        for tag in tags:
            if not tag.children:
                db.session.delete(tag)
        db.session.commit()

This works, but I think it would be wildly inefficient. What would be the best approach to do this?

Back in Action!: Anacapa Island Lobster Traps Removed
By Founder and President Kurt Lieber
As you may recall, the last time we went to Anacapa Island, our engines stalled just as we were half a mile outside of Channel Islands Harbor. There we sat for four hours as we waited to be towed into port. Boats can be really fun.
Turns out it was a problem with our fuel system. There are certain microbes that can grow in diesel fuel, and if left unchecked can become so numerous that they can clog up the fuel filters to the point that no fuel reaches the engines.
We've had this problem for over a year now, tried a number of fixes, and generally replaced the filters and went on our way. But this time, changing the filters didn't do the job. With further investigation, we found out that the fuel in the tanks needed to be "polished." This process removes all the debris that's in the tanks—resulting in a completely clean fuel system.
In order to accomplish this cleaning project, we had to cut big holes in the tanks which enabled a technician to insert a vacuum hose into the tanks to remove the contaminated fuel along with the debris. That done, we sealed the tanks back up, put new fuel in the tanks, and headed out to Anacapa. PROBLEM SOLVED!
Ocean Conservation Back in Action
We had a boat-load of our dedicated volunteers as we headed out for Anacapa Island.
Above: Kim Cardenas, Jeff Conor, Jeff Larson, Brook LaCouceur, and Al Laubenstein.
The divers were: Kim Cardenas, Jeff Connor, Jeff Larson, and Al Laubenstein. The deck crew was: Lisa Davis, Brooke LaDouceur, Jim Lieber, and myself.
We had an absolutely beautiful day with flat seas and dolphin pods escorting us on our way to and from the island. This is always a great feeling.
Department of Fish and Wildlife Gives ODA Great Input
Earlier in the month I had been invited to talk with several divers who work for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (DF&W), and more that work with the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary. What was supposed to be a one-hour talk turned into three hours! It's not that I am long-winded, but rather, the extended time was because the divers were earnestly eager to learn all they could about our work—especially ODA's best practices when it comes to removing lobster traps with minimal impact to the surrounding ocean flora and fauna.
At the end of that conversation, one of the marine biologists gave me the locations of several abandoned lobster traps near Anacapa Island (in the Channel Islands, about 11 miles off the coast of Ventura County, California).
Speaking of government agencies, we got a great "two thumbs up" from the National Park Services rangers!
Back to the story, Kurt!
So anywho: Armed with that info, we headed out toward a site called Frenchy's Cove. Within minutes of Kim, Jeff C., Jeff L., and Al dropping down into 40 feet of water, we saw a pair of lift bags break the surface. Two lift bags? Must be a really heavy trap!
Then about 100 feet away from the first trap, we saw another lift bag at the surface.
Jim, Lisa, and Brooke launched the RIB, and soon Jim and Brooke headed out to the first set of lift bags. They radioed back to me that this was not just a heavy trap…but a huge one! They slowly towed it over to the LegaSea, where Lisa and I hauled it aboard using our hoist.
As Jim and Brooke took off to retrieve the second trap, we spotted another set of lift bags 100 yards away. Within minutes we had the divers back on board, along with three traps! What was interesting about the traps was how much of the giant kelp was growing on them. Giant kelp has a hard time surviving waters warmer than 68 degrees. The waters in southern California have been extremely warm this year, and reported as high as 78 degrees in some locations. So, seeing that much kelp growth came as a nice surprise. Unfortunately, we did see some invasive kelp as well, which is definitely NOT a good sign.
We took a break and talked about the underwater conditions. Visibility was over 20 feet, which sure makes it easier to find these traps. Plus Jeff C, and Al were treated to a fly-by of a bat ray, which Jeff filmed.
After an hour surface interval (that is "dive speak" for a break), we headed a half-mile away where another trap had been seen by the DF&W biologist. This one had a buoy still attached to it, so we just got close and pulled it up by hand. This one was a duplicate of the other huge trap we pulled up at the other site.
By now, it was getting late in the day and the winds and currents were picking up. So, rather than go for a 2nd dive, which is our usual plan, we called it a day and headed back to the Channel Islands Harbor. On the ride back, we were enthralled by a pod of about 200 dolphins that cavorted in the bow wave and in the waters all around us.
Here's a close-up of the beautiful marine mammals who rode the bow waves of our boat!
It was a beautiful way to end our day. Four traps, 200 feet of trap line, the boat ran GREAT, and a dolphin escort!
Life doesn't get much more rewarding. Please join us by filling out a volunteer application, or making a donation—today! :-)
Be sure to look at ALL the pictures of our adventure!

From the Elder Statesman
Tame Impala's Kevin Parker Rocked This Trippy Cashmere Sweater. You Can Too
December 4, 2019 Style By John Zientek
On November 26, Amsterdam radio DJ Sagid Carter posted a photo on Instagram with Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker. In the photo, Parker is wearing a white t-shirt, a necklace and a blue-striped cashmere cardigan.
While Parker normally wears t-shirts and jeans, he's been sporting some decidedly luxe outerwear this year. In the image that accompanied April's release of "Borderline," he wore a velvet Gucci bomber jacket. But, the striped cardigan he wore in the November photo with Carter is equally special: it's made in Los Angeles by a cult-favorite cashmere brand called the Elder Statesman.
The oversized shawl-collar sweater, dubbed the Italy Smoking Jacket, is made from plaited Italian cashmere. The thick, heavy-weight silhouette has an open front sans zipper, belt or buttons — it's worn like a light jacket. Though the Elder Statesman is known for its wild tie-dye sweaters, the thick tonal stripes on this cardigan are only casually mind-bending, with subtle variations in each color block.
Founded in 2007, the Elder Statesman has built a reputation for producing some of the finest luxury products on the market. It produces high-quality cashmere goods in a small Culver City factory where workers knit on vintage looms. There, sweaters are knit and dyed then air-dried in sun behind the building. "This is what nobody has that we have in California," says Greg Chait, the brand's founder. "There's something that the sun does that you just can't replicate as part of the finishing process."
The heavy-weight Italy Smoking Jacket retails for $1,795 and comes in sizes XS to L. So if you're looking for a sweater that's both trippy and cozy, head over to Farfetch and pick one up today. The Elder Statesman produces its knits in incredibly limited runs, so act fast — these are bound to sell out quickly.

Photoconductivity and small-polaron effects in tetracyanoquinodimethan
A. A. Bright, P. M. Chaikin, A. R. McGhie
Photoconductivity has been observed in high-purity tetracyanoquinodimethan (TCNQ) single crystals and polycrystalline evaporated thin films. The photocurrent was measured as a function of wavelength, light intensity, and temperature. A photoconducting edge is observed at about 1.7 eV. The spectral response of the crystals and films are essentially identical. Comparison with optical-absorption, reflection, and resistivity data imply that the 1.7-eV edge is a measurement of the band gap. The relatively small value is attributed to the high electron affinity of TCNQ and its polaron binding energy. Pulsed photocurrent measurements give a drift mobility for both electrons and holes of about 0.4 cm2/V sec in single crystals and somewhat lower in thin films. The electron mobility is about 10% higher than the hole mobility, and both are independent of temperature from 204 to 306 °K. The results suggest that conduction occurs by diffusion of small polarons in a conduction band whose width is comparable to the phonon energies. The relevance of this study to other systems is discussed.

Q: Grails with Shiro - How to assign specifice permission to perticular user even he has role based permission i installed shiro plugin in my application.i assigned one complete controller for role:'role_developer'..so if any user comes under role_developer he can access all actions of that controller..but here i want remove two actions of that controller..so please suggest me ..
here my code is:
def shiroRole = new ShiroRole()
shiroRole.name='ROLE_DEVELOPER'// create role as role developer
shiroROle.addToPermission('Person') //assigned permissions Person controller with all actionss
shiro.save()

now iam going create one user of ROLE_DEVELOPER and assigning permission some actions like person controller:create,list only
def shiroUser = new ShiroUser()
shiroUser.username='username'
shiroUser.passwordHash= new Sha256Hash("password").toHex()
shiroUser.addToRoles(ShiroRole.findByName('ROLE_DEVELOPER')
        newUser.addToPermissions('person:list,create')
                newUser.save()

...so here shiroUser shoud not be access all actions assigned to role_dveloper

A: Don't know how to do this using pure shiro API, but it can be done using grails filters
Something like this
import org.apache.shiro.SecurityUtils
import org.apache.shiro.subject.Subject

class ProjectFilters {
    def filters = {
        all(controller: 'Person', action: '*') {
            before = {
                Subject subject = SecurityUtils.getSubject()

                //boolean hasRole = subject.hasRole('ROLE_DEVELOPER')
                //boolean hasPermission = subject.isPermitted('Person')

                if (/*your logic here*/) {
                    redirect(uri: '/access-denied')
                    return false
                }

            }
        }
    }
}

A: you don't need filters. :-)
I never used
shiroRole.addToPermission('Person')

but from your question I guess that's equal to
shiroRole.addToPermission('Person:*')

giving the owner of the role access to all actions of the Person controller.
It seems that you now would like to remove some of the permissions for one of the users by assigning permissions to this special user. But that's not the way it works. AFAIK, there is no way to remove permissions, and that's ok because it is more secure...
Shiro works in the following way:
Permissions like a:b give a user access to controller a and action b. A role is a collection of permissions. Permissions are additive.
So if you create a role
def shiroRole = new ShiroRole()
shiroRole.name='ROLE_USER'// create role as role developer
shiroRole.addToPermission('Person:list,show') //assigned permissions Person controller with all actionss
shiroRole.save()

and a user
def shiroUser = new ShiroUser()
shiroUser.username='username'
shiroUser.passwordHash= new Sha256Hash("password").toHex()
shiroUser.addToRoles(ShiroRole.findByName('ROLE_USER')
shiroUser.addToPermissions('person:create,save')
shiroUser.save()

this user will have access to Person:list and Person:show from the assigned role and Person:create and Person:save from his direct permissions.
As you can see, most of the time it is enough to work with roles and avoid using direct permissions.
I hope this helps...

The Last Page - Operating in a Vacuum, While All Things are Equal and Comparing Apples to Apples
Feb 28, 2007 | By: Scott Swoger
As was mentioned at the onset, we received over 1,000 submissions from all over North America. And culling these down to the top 15 in each category was an arduous task. Our committee debated spiritedly for different projects. We are proud of our final selections, but at the risk of sounding cliché, all of the projects submitted are winners. In working through these, so many great stories came to light. Here is a small sampling.
Auto2Auto.com – Columbia, Tennessee
Both state and local governments cooperated to find an innovative new business to move into a 300,000 square foot industrial space vacated by a closed business. Auto2Auto operates a call center and fulfillment operation which allows customers from across the nation to shop and purchase used vehicles, obtain financing and have the vehicle delivered to their nearest Pep Boys auto parts store. What makes this unique is that the State of Tennessee and local partners worked together to assist the start-up of an innovative new company within a targeted industry sector (automotive). This project adds to the growing reputation of Tennessee as a key player in the Southeastern Automotive movement.
Marathon – Garyville, Louisiana
The Marathon Board of Directors approved a $3.2 billion expansion to their Garyville refinery. The new operations are projected to being refining in late 2009, with construction set to begin in mid 2007. This expansion means an average of 2,000 jobs during the 30-month construction cycle (peaking at 4,000 construction jobs). This will also add another 250 permanent jobs to nearly200 Marathon employees. Upon completion Marathon is estimated to create another 500 jobs in the regional economy. While we received a number of energy-related projects, what makes this noteworthy is the fact that it has been over 30 years since a new refinery has been built in the U.S. This expansion is the equivalent of a new refinery, and will lessen U.S. dependency on oil from foreign refineries.
Regional Project
Menards/Midwest Manufacturing – Shelby, Iowa
This project is a great example of a successful regional effort. This manufacturer of interior and exterior doors was looking for a location near I-80 for an office and manufacturing facility. The state organization worked with a private land owner, two counties, a city, a Rural Electric Cooperative, MidAmerican, and Regional Water just to make sure they could provide the service to make the ground feasible. Then, they extended the city limits to south of the interstate in order to extend the Shelby County Enterprise Zone. They also created an Urban Renewal District in Pottawattamie County which allowed for incentives and tax rebates. The utilities also extended service to the site, while the State of Iowa awarded this project a PFSA, and EDSA. Even the Iowa Department of Transportation participated by awarding money from RISE. Not only did this project create 300 new jobs, but also created a true regional project that the State of Iowa, Pottawattamie and Shelby Counties can take pride in. This project has also spurred other development for this rural community.
Resort Impact
Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort & Spa – Bastrop, Texas
The $135 million investment by Hyatt to develop a world class spa in Bastrop proves that economic development comes in many different forms. The 492 room resort has 62,000 square feet of indoor meeting space, 18,000 square feet of spa, an 18-hole championship golf course, a large equestrian center for horseback riding and access to the Colorado River for kayaking and exploring. But what makes this project special are the numbers. In addition to being the city's largest private employer, the hotel occupancy tax will generate $2 million per year to the city. With those funds, they plan to construct a new convention center near the downtown area. As Joe Newman, president/CEO of Bastrop Economic Development Corporation proudly states "I don't know if this resort qualifies for inclusion, but this project is going to drastically change our small 7,006 population community!"
