fWotD Episode 2770: KARE (TV) Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 4 December 2024 is KARE (TV).KARE (channel 11) is a television station licensed to Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, serving as the Twin Cities area's NBC affiliate. Owned by Tegna Inc., the station maintains studios on Olson Memorial Highway (MN 55) in Golden Valley and a transmitter at the Telefarm site in Shoreview, Minnesota.Channel 11 began broadcasting on September 1, 1953. It was originally shared by WMIN-TV in St. Paul and WTCN-TV in Minneapolis; the two stations shared an affiliation with ABC and alternated presenting local programs. In 1955, Consolidated Television and Radio bought both stations and merged them as WTCN-TV from the Minneapolis studios in the Calhoun Beach Hotel. The station presented several regionally and nationally notable children's shows in its early years as well as local cooking, news, and sports programs. Time Inc. purchased the station in 1957. Under its ownership, ABC switched its affiliation to KMSP-TV (channel 9), leaving channel 11 to become an independent station that broadcast games of the Minnesota Twins baseball team, movies, and syndicated programs. This continued under two successive owners: Chris-Craft Industries and Metromedia. By the late 1970s, WTCN was one of the nation's most financially successful independent stations.In 1978, ABC announced it would move its Twin Cities affiliation to KSTP-TV. This forced NBC to select between KMSP and WTCN for its new local outlet. It chose WTCN on the strength of its facilities, ownership, and promise to build a first-class news operation, for which KMSP had never been known as an ABC station. On March 5, 1979, channel 11 became an NBC affiliate and began broadcasting NewsCenter 11 newscasts. In spite of a major promotional campaign, the news product was a high-profile commercial failure, beaten by entertainment shows on KMSP in the ratings, as viewers rejected the new news team and continued to prefer market leaders WCCO-TV and KSTP-TV.Metromedia agreed to buy Chicago independent station WFLD in 1982 and sold WTCN to Gannett to raise capital and make room in its station group. Gannett engineered a comprehensive overhaul of the station's news programming. Between 1983 and 1987, the station moved from last to first in late news ratings, battling WCCO for two decades. It changed call signs twice in that period, to WUSA in 1985 and KARE in 1986, when Gannett moved the WUSA call sign to its Washington, D. C., station. More recently, as of 2022, the station has been a second-place finisher in local news.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:16 UTC on Wednesday, 4 December 2024.For the full current version of the article, see KARE (TV) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Olivia.

The early registration discount for Design Your Life in Retirement ends on August 15th. Register here ______________________ If you're pondering early retirement, have you considered another option? For some people a sabbatical offers an an opportunity to recharge, reflect and to experience a new adventure. Steve Hoffman's book A Season for That details the experience of an extended leave with his family in a winemaking village in France. It may inspire you to imagine what a sabbatical experience may do for you. While your vision for a sabbatical may be quite different, you'll be interested in hearing what he learned from it - and how it's shaping his ideas about retirement. Steve Hoffman joins us from Minnesota. _______________________ Mentioned in This Episode The Sabbatical Project | Inspiration for the Experience of a Lifetime _______________________ Bio Steve Hoffman is a Minnesota tax preparer and food writer. When he dies, the tax-preparer-food-writer industry will die with him. He is a French speaker and shameless Francophile. His writing has won multiple awards, including the 2019 James Beard M.F.K. Fisher Distinguished Writing Award. He has been published in Food & Wine, The Washington Post, The Minneapolis Star Tribune, and Artful Living magazine. His first book, A Season for That: Lost and Found in the Other Southern France, published in July 2024, edited by Francis Lam. It is the story of his family's gradual (then precipitous) acceptance into a tiny winemaking village, of his bottom-up education in Mediterranean food and wine, and of a hard-won self-acceptance in mid-life. Hoffman shares one acre on Turtle Lake, in Shoreview, Minnesota, with his wife, Mary Jo, their elderly and entitled puggle, Jack, roughly 80,000 honeybees, and a nesting pair of sandhill cranes who summer in the back yard. _______________________ For More on Steve Hoffman A Season for That: Lost and Found in the Other Southern France Website _______________________ Podcast Episodes You May Like Edit Your Life – Elisabeth Sharp McKetta Practicing Retirement STILL – Mary Jo Hoffman Inward Traveler – Francine Toder PhD _______________________ Wise Quotes On Investments for Retirement "I would wish on behalf of my clients that they started spending their money a little bit earlier in a lot of cases. Money is a means not an end. It's very easy to slide that over into the 401k and you're watching that grow and it seems as if you're accomplishing something that's more or less automated. And there can be a form of losing sight of other important things that are really also investments, if you think about family, if you think about friendships, and if you think about skills that are outside of work. Those are investments too, and they have an ROI, and they pay off later and they require a certain amount of deferred gratification, but they're in many ways as important. But I do think that those other things are more intangible, they're harder to put a price tag on." On Seasons of Life "And when you live in wine country you realize not every vintage is better than the last vintages. There are good vintages and bad vintages, but they come around every single year, and you live your life there by saying, Okay, this is the season for the harvest, this is all we do right now, this is what this part of the world is offering us, and we have no choice but to do this because this is what the season tells us we need to do. And if that leads to a bad vintage, that's okay, you did your best. And then that same harvest is going to come around next year, and you're going to give it another effort. So I just found it a really refreshing way of looking at life. And then there is an additional element to that which is that there are sort of seasons of the year, but then there are seasons of a life. And there are times when you need to be a parent, and you can't do other things that you might like to...

For the past few decades, senior housing co-operatives have become an appealing option for middle-income people who are aging but don't need the 24/7 care of a nursing home. The idea for senior-specific housing co-ops originated right here in Minnesota. The state holds 60 percent of senior co-ops in the country. Dennis Johnson, president of Cooperative Housing Resources in Shoreview, joined Minnesota Now to share how the idea came about and what it looks like now.

  Retirement offers the opportunity to pursue new interests, hobbies and pursuits. But getting retirement right takes practice. How do you start? Mary Jo Hoffman shares her story of how a daily photography practice on her daily walks with her dog evolved, culminating in her new book STILL:The Art of Noticing. Mary Jo Hoffman joins us from Minnesota. __________________________ Bio Mary Jo Hoffman is the author of STILL:The Art of Noticing.  An aeronautical engineer-turned-artist, since beginning her artistic practice and founding the blog, STILL, she and her project have been featured in Martha Stewart Living and Better Homes & Gardens, among other publications, and she has collaborated with West Elm, Target, the United States Botanic Garden, and the Scottish National Opera She is renowned for her unique and personal engagement with the natural world around her, primarily in North America's Great Lakes bioregion and the iconic scrubland of Mediterranean France. Best known for her multi-year, ongoing project, "STILL," she captures and posts one photo every day, on a white background, of a natural object found near her, whether leaves, flowers, seedpods, twigs, insects, or animals. "STILL" images reflect Hoffman's profound admiration for nature's subtle, seasonal expressions. Her photography encourages viewers to pause and contemplate one thing at a time, to be still, if only for a moment, in a world of distracted hurrying from one thing to another. The project is an endorsement of the power of dailiness, and an invitation to re-see the too-often overlooked "infraordinary," that surrounds us--those sights, sounds, and subtle changes that we think of as common and familiar, but which can come alive with delightful possibility when paid attention to. Hoffman lives in Shoreview, Minnesota, on Turtle Lake, with her husband, Steve, a food writer and author, and her aging and indulged puggle, Jack, with whom she takes walks as often as possible, in woods and fields, and along lakeside trails, on the hunt for that day's STILL blog subject. __________________________ For More on Mary Jo Hoffman STILL Blog STILL:The Art of Noticing _________________________ Podcast Episodes You May Like Retirement Rookies – Stephen & Karen Kreider Yoder Edit Your Life – Elisabeth Sharp McKetta Living for Pleasure – Emily Austin, PhD Best of 2024 – Part One _________________________ Wise Quotes On Practicing Retirement "...think about practicing for retirement. Put those pieces in place with the community, the hobbies, the interests, whatever you want to do. Start early enough to have those in place when you retire so that you don't just one day walk out the door, and then you don't know what to do with yourself. That struck a chord with me. So we are in France, the kids are in school, it's the first free time in my adult life and I say to my, my husband who's a tax preparer, but who also had creative ambitions. He was wanted always wanted to be a writer. I said, let's practice for retirement. We have we have six hours a day between parent drop off and parent pickup. Let's practice for retirement. So that was 2012. So 12 years ago what happened is I started a photo. So I came up with a project for myself is called a photo a day for one year. So it was a one year project to do a photo a day, which then resulted in this book that I just came out with." On Daily Practice "If you've never done anything like a 100-day challenge. I have a 30-day challenge. I think 30 days is too short. I did a one year challenge that turned into a 12 year challenge. I highly recommend them. That's why  I call it the sneaky superpower of daily -  of having a daily practice. The other one of the other things that that totally surprised me  was something an idea I call placefulness, which is it is this a really deep and nuanced knowledge and connection to my place."

It is 2024, which means we are heading into Summer Olympic season. The 2024 games in Paris don't start until July, but Olympic trials have begun. Many Minnesotans are vying for a spot. One of the first trials underway is for U.S. sailing.Right now, Shoreview native Lara Dallman-Weiss is in Miami, competing for a spot. MPR News' Todd Melby spoke to Dallman-Weiss ahead of the trials about the sport and her hopes for the summer games.This conversation has been edited for length and clarity. Use the audio player above to listen to the full conversation.What kind of sailing are you doing and what kind of team are you on?Dallman-Weiss: There are 10 different types of sailboats in the Olympics. I race one called The Mixed Dinghy, so it's mixed gender, one male, one female. And this is actually the first time my type of boat has been mixed-gender. I'm racing with a teammate who has sailed in for the Olympics before, but it's our first time sailing together. [It's a] two-person boat. It has three sails, my teammate sits on the side of the boat and I'm on a trapeze. So I hang off the side of the boat.It is so fun. It's extremely physical and you're working to your highest heart rate most of the 45-minute race and you're also reading the wind making decisions based on the weather, and you're competent. So you're pretty much doing math problems while at your highest target for 45 minutes, twice a day.You use the word trapeze. Could you describe what that looks like?I have this harness that I wear and it has a hook around my pelvis section. And something on the side of the boat I grab and I hook on to that, so my feet are actually on the side of the boat and there's a wire or a rope — you can use either — that goes up to the side of the mast.It's worth a Google search. It's harder than I imagined to describe.Sailors don't want to give away what they might consider to be their secrets on their technique. Why aren't you afraid of that?I think each sailor and each team has different styles, different body shapes, different techniques.So I'm more eager to show the sport and get that out there than I am worried about people seeing what equipment we use. I just really want to show everyone what the sport is like. I think it's so amazing, from so many different levels. There's disabled sailing, which is amazing. There are a lot of veterans that come back and get into the sport of sailing; they have blind sailing racing. You can take it in so many different avenues.There are boat deliveries around the world and everyone that I've shown sailing for the first time and been with them for their first sail, they're just like: “This sport is something else.” And that really gets me excited.Some might have the misperception that sailing is an elitist, rich sport. What's your story?I am rich in experiences. I am certainly privileged in that I was able to grow up sailing, but by no means do my parents pay for my sailing or my Olympic sailing. I very much had to fundraise and work side jobs and do anything I could to make this work.I grew up sailing on White Bear Lake, sailing in the summers. And then lakes would freeze and I would play basketball and I was in track, cross-country and dance line. Sailing was just such a fun thing for me to do in the summers with my friends and learn how to race. Then I went off to college in Florida and that's when I really took it to the next level, started sailing on professional programs where you get paid to race and then got into the Olympics scene.How many teams are competing in the trials and how many will make the U.S. Olympic team and go to Paris?In The Mixed Dinghy that I sail, there are nine teams and one team goes. So it's winner-takes-all.Are you nervous about that?I'm not, no. We have had so much preparation and we've done everything we can in our control. So now it's enjoy and just take it one day at a time, one race at a time. And that's kind of my motto that always gets me through.Subscribe to the Minnesota Now podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.   We attempt to make transcripts for Minnesota Now available the next business day after a broadcast.

On Friday, July 21st, 2023 Mark Maloney will end his public works career after almost 29 years at the City of Shoreview, MN, and over 32 total years in the engineering and public works field. We are dropping this bonus episode one day before that official retirement to celebrate his remarkable career. Mark has been a role model for many of us in Minnesota, and beyond, dedicating time to the City Engineers Association of Minnesota and the Minnesota Chapter of APWA. In this bonus episode we pay tribute his outstanding and award winning career. We talk about how public works professionals often times end up as generalists, yet become experts in areas they least expected when they started their careers. Mark's expertise in permeable pavements is prime example of this. We hope you enjoy this career review while learning about permeable pavements, city council relationships, and professional society involvement. Mark, thank you for your years of service to Shoreview and the public works community!

Many lifetimes ago I was a stand-up comic. There were a lot of great comics that started with me back then. Way funnier too. One was Lawrence Morgenstern. He loved the craft and put his heart and soul into it Lawrence passed away a little while ago . This time on NTKR I speak with his longtime partner Rosalynne Gelade as we swap stories about one very funny gentle giant.

In this episode of the Female Athlete Nutrition podcast, I talk with Olympian and professional rock climber Kyra Condie. We start off with a little coffee debate: home brewed or coffee shop?! We touch on the effects of caffeine on performance, both positive and negatives, and how our genes determine how we respond to caffeine. Kyra shares her start in climbing: after attending a rock climbing birthday party she was hooked! Without a school climbing team, and missing out on time with friends for training, Kyra explains how she questioned her future in the sport. Kyra discusses how surgery to correct her scoliosis reminded her of her climbing passion, and we hear how she continues to navigate challenges to overcome pain and movement limitations related to her back. We talk about climbing being introduced into the Olympics for the first time in Tokyo 2020, a competition Kyra competed in. Kyra explains the different forms of climbing: bouldering, lead, and speed climbing, and how the sport is evolving.  Climbing places a strong emphasis on strength-to-weight ratio, and disordered eating is common in this sport. Kyra speaks to the experiences she has had watching other athletes get caught up in being lighter and underfueling, and how she has learned that being stronger is better than being lighter. Kyra highlights how not all successful athletes struggle with food, showing that there is another way. Kyra credits her years of consistent injury-free training to fueling enough and not restricting. As a vegetarian athlete, Kyra shares how she is intentional about protein and supplements with creatine. We highlight the importance of ensuring all supplements are safe for sport and not contaminated with banned substances: look for “NSF” and “Informed Choice” certifications. Kyra Condie's Official Bio: Kyra is a 26 year old professional climber and University of Minnesota alumni. Kyra was born and raised in Shoreview, Minnesota, but currently lives in Salt Lake City, Utah. She started climbing when she was 11 years old at her original home gym, Vertical Endeavors in St. Paul, MN. After she had completely fallen in love with the sport of climbing, she discovered that she had severe, idiopathic scoliosis. It was devastating news, but she wouldn't let her condition hold her back. On March 12, 2010 she had a spinal fusion surgery to correct her more than 70 degree curvature and took several months to recover. Though she started competitive climbing before her surgery, she didn't win her first major competition until after her time off. Since then, she has qualified for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, become a bouldering World Cup finalist, and is a regular at pro competitions around the US.  Follow Kyra on Instagram @kyra_condie and the Female Athlete Nutrition podcast @female.athlete.nutrition   THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Inside Tracker: www.insidetracker.com/riseup for 20% off the entire store for a limited time only!

In this episode of the Minnesota Fight Night podcast, Minnesota boxer Tony Woods returns to talk about his big unanimous decision win over a very game opponent, Jarvis Williams of St. Louis, Missouri. Woods and Williams headlined the Dec. 4 Ignite Fights card at Canterbury Expo Center in Shakopee. Woods, who improved to 9-0, dug deep and overcame a nasty cut to get his hand raised. The native of Iowa, now living in Shoreview, also gives his take on some of big fights in recent weeks, including Vasiliy Lomachenko's win over Richard Commey. Sean Strauss gets the ball rolling with that interview. But first, we'll hear from two other Minnesota boxers who scored wins on the Ignite Card. Josh Clark of Fridley improved to 3-0 with a decision nod over Ryan Attebery of Merced, California. And in an explosive pro debut, Robbie Loyde of Minneapolis stopped Thomas Allen of Saint Joseph, Missouri. Intro music: “Ali Shuffle,” by the Toler/Townsend Band. Special thanks to Deb Toler.

On this episode, we were joined by US Olympic Sailor, Lara Dallman-Weiss.  This podcast is packed with awareness found through growth, success, and struggle.  In our conversation, Harvey and Brian get to learn all about the art of sailing, the bond of the Olympic family, and how Lara keeps her body and mind sharp to compete against the best in the world.  We also got to hear about the mental challenges that she and many Olympians face before and after competing for their country.  One thing that sticks out is Lara's ability to dream.  A common thread amongst many great achievers is the way they conceptualize achievement.  Lara knew as a young girl that she wanted to be an Olympian, and she didn't care what sport or how she got there.  The end goal was clear, but the route didn't have to be concrete or conventional.  Hear more about this and much more depth about the internal mental warfare of being an Olympian in our conversation! ABOUT LARA DALLMAN-WEISS Lara is a 32-year-old Olympian from Shoreview, Minnesota.  Lara's most notably known for participating in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics as a part of Team USA's sailing team.  She placed 12th in the Women's 470 event.  She has also finished 7th at the World Championships.  As of right now, she is a part of the US Sailing Team, Perfect Vision Sailing, New York Yacht Club, and White Bear Yacht Club.  Lara has dedicated much of her life to sailing, starting at age 6.  Outside of sailing, she graduated from Eckerd College in 2011 with a degree in Nutritional Counseling Wellness Education and Spanish.  Her hobbies include writing, running, biking, travel, and photography.  Fun Fact: Lara has raced on boats ranging from 8 feet long all the way to 183 feet long.  She now resides in Miami, FL and is just like all of us - navigating the idea of what's next in providing our unique purpose to the world (along with chasing an Olympic Gold Medal in Paris).    WHERE TO FIND LARA Instagram: @ldallman Website: http://perfectvisionsailing.com/ Blog: laradw.wordpress.com

On this week's episode of the Managing Uncertainty Podcast, Bryghtpath Principal & CEO Bryan Strawser takes a look at small business continuity planning Inspired by a question from Meg Cumby, in this episode we discuss the consequences of disruptions for small businesses, disaster recovery challenges, evaluating risks to your business, and small business continuity planning expectations. Related Episodes & Blog Posts Episode #25: To BIA or not to BIA Episode #35: Alternate Workplace Strategies for Business Continuity Free Course: Business Continuity 101 Intro Course //static.leadpages.net/leadboxes/current/embed.js Episode Transcript - Small Business Continuity Planning Hi everyone, welcome to the Managing Uncertainty podcast. This is Bryan Strawser, Principal and CEO at Bryghtpath. On this week's episode, we'll be talking about small business planning and preparedness for disasters and disruptions. This is a topic that came up in a recent discussion on an online entrepreneur business owner forum that I'm a part of, and I asked for some questions that folks wanted to get answers to related to this topic, and my friend Meg Cumby had this specific question: What process should a small business, a one to five-person business, go through in order to evaluate and plan for disruption and disasters, and how often should you re-evaluate those risks or update your plans? You can learn more about Meg and her business at megcumby.com. Her business is Meg Cumby Consulting: Where you can get client testimonials and case studies without the awkwardness. So let's take a look at Meg's question and unpack this. Certainly, a lot of our previous episodes have dealt with business continuity and crisis management planning and talking about enterprise risks really on a very large scale. We've talked about Fortune 500 organizations and the complexity of managing global operations and dealing with disasters and disruptions, but let's bring this down to the small business level where you don't have the resources and time to do the type of planning that a General Motors or a Merc or a 3M might have to do. First, I think we can really simplify what we're looking to plan around by looking at the consequences of disruptions that might impact the business. And this is where I like to think about the four areas of consequence that happen when a disruption hits a business of any size, and those consequences are the loss of the team, the loss of the folks that do the work, the loss of the technology that the business is reliant upon, the loss of the facility that the work is conducted in ... Where the work happens, in other words ... and then finally, the loss of third-party services that you rely upon. There's another factor that can come into play with small businesses in terms of consequence, and that has to do with if you're dependent upon a physical location because you are a restaurant or you are a small one- or two-location retail business, or you are a bar, for example. One of your dependencies that we can't skip over is the need to have ... the ability to reach the business. So you think about disruptions to transportation or lack of parking or lack of transit all suddenly become issues in those situations because you're not able to reach the business. Just this morning on the StarTribune ... The Twin Cities newspaper, or one of the Twin Cities newspapers here in Minnesota ... one of the more famed bars in Minneapolis is closing because they're losing their parking lot. The parking lot is actually owned by the city of Minneapolis, and the city is taking the parking lot away from the business. They've been operating on this handshake agreement for years, apparently. They're taking the parking lot in order to have a staging area for construction of a new rail line, a light rail transit line that's being built here. And so the business is losing their parking lot, and because they're losing their parking lot, they're going to lose their customer base, because no one will be able to reach the bar and music venue that they operate, so they're closing in a few weeks. So that's a dependency that we want to make sure that we're thinking about when it comes to small business planning. Let's unpack the consequences a little bit about how to plan for some of these disruptions. We'll start with facilities. For a small business owner, the facility that the work gets done in might be their home. It could be, as it is for us ... We have a single office location in Shoreview, Minnesota. And so I could lose the facility in a catastrophe. There could be a fire, we could have a flood, we could have an aircraft crash onto the building, we could have a tornado come through, so you think about all of these ways that it could happen. The bottom line is I may not be able to operate the facility. But I could also have other issues that cause me to not be able to work at the facility. I could lose power, and I may not have a generator. I could lose internet access, in which case I need to ... What's my workaround, or am I just dead in the water, and I have to consider working from home or something similar? But that loss of facility or the inability to work at the facility because of some time of disruption - utility, natural disaster, power - that's one area that you want to consider and then build plans around. The second area is about the folks that do the work. For a lot of small business owners, that might just be you. It might just be the one person who does the work. It's a one-person business. So if you lose yourself, if you've been injured fatally, obviously you're not going to be able or really care about what happens next, because you'll be deceased. But what if you're injured and you're not able to work? And this is where I think the insurance situation comes to play. You're looking at disability or some type of business owner insurance that contains coverage for that type of catastrophe that might impact you. If you're a larger business, and there's four or five of you ... And that's our situation here at Bryghtpath; there's five of us ... losing one employee means that I either have to hire another one or I can outsource some work to a contractor in the short-term. But there's a ramp-up period, and hiring somebody might take me two months to fill the position and six months to train them appropriately. So those are considerations I have to think about. This happened to us here at Bryghtpath in 2018. One of our consultants is in the Minnesota National Guard. She was activated for active duty and has been deployed for most of the last 13 months. So we had some warning. We had about 12 weeks, I think it was. We were planning on hiring another individual, so we just accelerated those plans, and the timing happened to work out for us, but that could have taken much longer in order to fill that role. The third area, consequence, that we want to plan for is around disruption to technologies that you're using for your business. So there's a lot of things that can come into play here. There is the aspect of losing hardware. So perhaps you have one laptop that you use, and that's your principal computing machine, and that's what most of the business runs on. So lots of questions: back-up strategy, access to another machine, a back-up machine that you have available on-site, multiple back-up methods for the data that's on your laptop. And the list goes on. You may have a website. How is that website backed up, and what if your website provider goes down? What if your data is lost? How do you restore that and move to an alternate? And then if you're a highly-dependent e-commerce business, or you've got an online digital learning business where you're very dependent upon that technology for your income, then I think you want to have a more complex back-up and high-availability infrastructure in place, even if it's just you. Because you're highly dependent upon that to be in place in order to operate your business. So there's a lot of things to consider there. We would want to see ... In a larger business, we would be making plans around dealing with those disruptions. At the same time, I think in a smaller business it's not a bad idea to have some of that planning for recovering your website or recovering the app that is at the heart of your business or the digital course platform that's at the heart of your business, and being able to cover that when there's a disruption. The last area that we plan for is the loss of third-party services, and this is where ... And some of this may overlap with some of the technology components. When you're outsourcing part of what you do to a third-party firm, or you're using a software as a service, like ... Think about your email provider. You might be on Mailchimp or Drip or ConvertKit or Infusionsoft or something else. What you're really looking for here is what is that service level agreement that you have in place with them? What happens if you have to move and take your data? So are you regularly downloading your data? What if their business model changes? For example, we use Drip, and we're very happy with Drip as a mail service provider and marketing automation. But Drip's changed their focused more recently towards e-commerce businesses, maybe away from some types of businesses they worked with before, and there have been some occasional performance issues now that didn't exist previously. A lot of folks have been switching providers. So what happens if that core part of your business changes, that core provider for your business changes and perhaps no longer delivers what you want? Are you able to make that shift? So when we think about consequences that would disrupt your business and how you should plan for those, those are the four areas that we'd encourage you to think about. And then if you're a brick-and-mortar business or if you're dependent upon folks having access to your business physically, then that transportation, parking, and transit situation comes into play. We would encourage folks to re-evaluate those risks regularly. I think I would encourage folks to look at it in two ways. On a calendar basis, at least once a year, I would dig into where are things at. Has anything changed? Do we need to re-evaluate anything? I would do that at least on an annual basis, but second, I would re-evaluate and update my plan any time there was a significant change in the business or in that infrastructure and environment that surrounds your business. For example, if you change hosting providers for your website, you should re-evaluate your plan around that area and make sure that your documentation that you have chosen to document is current and that you feel like you have good procedures in place to recover if there is some type of disruption. We'll make this real a little bit by just talking about how we plan for some things here at Bryghtpath. As I said, we have a five-person firm. All of our employees are local, but two of them regularly work from home, as they're about 45 minutes or so from the office. Our office is a standalone building that we share with a sub-tenant of ours, a classmate of mine from business school who runs his business out of here as well. And so we've identified some risks. We're very dependent upon having electrical power. We do not have a generator for the building. We've chosen not to do so because I live within seven minutes of the office here. That office is on a different power grid than my home, so I'd be able to go home and work from there. We are highly dependent upon the internet. This is a place where we have decided to make an investment. We have two different internet providers coming into the office. We have a business cable internet connection and we have business DSL, and then we have a router and load balancer that smartly decides how to route that traffic coming into the building. So we've chosen to have some redundancy in place because of the risk with that. And we also have the ability to use hotspots and some other things on a temporary basis. We don't need a whole lot of bandwidth, except when we're doing video broadcasts and that kind of thing from the office here. From a technology standpoint, we are highly dependent upon a number of different cloud-based technologies, and plus our website hosting, so we have some plans in place around portability of data, monitoring of the website, alerting when the website's down and those kinds of things, so that we can take action as appropriate when those things happen. And then the unknown risk, or the unknown ... We don't really have a plan is what I'm trying to say ... For when we ... If we were to lose an employee, that would be a pretty significant issue for us. We would need to make some plans pretty quickly in how to deal with that. But we are properly insured, at least for my wife and I as the owners of the business and the two principal employees in case we have some kind of injury that prevents us from working or ... We're also properly insured if one of us should have a ... Should be killed or deceased to be able to protect the business. And then lastly, we have a succession plan. We know if something were to happen to me as the leader of the business, we know what our moves would be at that point for my wife to deal with the business and vice-versa. We just know what we would do because we've kind of planned and talked through that appropriately. So those are some ideas about looking at small business planning for a one- to five-person business.

Super Bowl 52 will be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, just down the road from our offices in Shoreview, on Sunday, February 4th, 2018. It will be on one of the largest events hosted in Minnesota in decades. In this episode of the Managing Uncertainty Podcast, Bryghtpath Principal & CEO Bryan Strawser and Senior Consultant Jennifer Otremba talk through our experiences with planning for major events like the Super Bowl.  Topics discussed include private sector planning for major events, threats and risks, getting connected to intelligence and law enforcement resources, contingency planning, physical security, and how to handle the general disruption in downtown Minneapolis during the week of the game. //static.leadpages.net/leadboxes/current/embed.js Episode Transcript Bryan Strawser:            Super Bowl 52. Jen Otremba:               Super Bowl. Bryan Strawser:            Coming soon to Minneapolis' US Bank Stadium. Jen Otremba:               Yeah, this is a really big deal for us. Bryan Strawser:            This is a huge deal. Jen Otremba:               Minnesota, huge. Bryan Strawser:            For the state. Jen Otremba:               Absolutely. Bryan Strawser:            Huge. Jen Otremba:               Yep. Bryan Strawser:            Not only that, but there's crazy excitement here because the Minnesota Vikings are actually favored to win the NFC and represent in the Super Bowl, and that would be crazy. Jen Otremba:               That would be crazy, and we'll see. Bryan Strawser:            Yeah, we'll see. Jen Otremba:               I'm a little pessimistic about that thought, but we'll see. Bryan Strawser:            So is my wife, who is a lifelong Minnesota Vikings fan. It's weird for me living here in Minnesota, because I am a New England Patriots fan. Jen Otremba:               He is, it's ridiculous. Bryan Strawser:            Yes, so, I have had, as a Boston sports fan, I've had a pretty good decade and a half. We've won everything in all four major sports. Jen Otremba:               Yeah, I know. Bryan Strawser:            And five Super Bowl titles. Jen Otremba:               I know. Bryan Strawser:            I'd like to point out. Jen Otremba:               I want you to know I hear about this, endlessly, and I'm not really even a football fan, really. I shouldn't even say that out loud here in Minnesota, surrounded by Vikings people, but, I do watch the Super Bowl every year, and I think that that is a really fun and exciting event to have, so. Bryan Strawser:            If it's New England against Minnesota, my marriage may not survive the night. Jen Otremba:               Oh, gosh. Bryan Strawser:            My wife has told me I may have to go watch the game at the office. Jen Otremba:               Well, I think we all should be watching the game at the office anyway. Bryan Strawser:            Yes, because we have clients that we were protecting that day in many ways. Jen Otremba:               I know. Bryan Strawser:            But, we're not here to talk about the Vikings or the Patriots, we're here to talk about how do you deal with a major event like the Super Bowl? I mean, we've done an earlier podcast episode where we talked about major event planning, but we're going to drill in to just the Super Bowl here in the Twin Cities, and what that means. Jen Otremba:               Yep, and this is specifically a big deal because we have clients that are right down town. Bryan Strawser:            We have clients that are next to the stadium. Jen Otremba:               Right next to the stadium, exactly. Things we're kind of looking at here are disruptions to the businesses and patrons, and I saw a Star Tribune article came out, what was it? Last week. Bryan Strawser:            Yes. Jen Otremba:               About this, specifically. Bryan Strawser:            Right, about how businesses are going to be impacted. I think that was actually on Sunday or Monday. Jen Otremba:               Was it? Yeah. Bryan Strawser:            That that came out. Yeah. The Super Bowl is a big deal, and has been. I mean, it always has been. Jen Otremba:               Right. Bryan Strawser:            But it's been a bigger deal in the seventeenth year since Nine-11, because it's a national special security event, so, for the department of homeland security, it is the highest level of event that they support. It's considered a high-[targetive 00:02:47] opportunity, and it will come with an enormous amount of law enforcement, security presence, and procedures in disruption that is going to be caused by that. At the same time, it's an enormous business opportunity for businesses in, really, the whole region here. Because there are events that are happening in Bloomington where the Mall of America is. At the Minneapolis Convention Center, which is totally being taken over by the NFL. On Downtown Minneapolis, on Nicollet Mall, which is in the central business district, a few blocks from the stadium will be NFL Life, which is open to the public, and is taking a huge amount of downtown. Then, the stadium itself is going to be in the biggest security zone that you could imagine for a massive building downtown. So there is a lot going on. Jen Otremba:               Totally, and there is some specific, I would say, challenges here having it in Minnesota, because, the stadium, for those that don't know, or don't that live here, that it's right Downtown, Minneapolis. Bryan Strawser:            Yeah, it's in the central business district. Jen Otremba:               The traffic, the businesses, the crowds, the people are already there without having a big event. When there is a big event downtown here, it's gridlock everywhere. Bryan Strawser:            It's also, in this particular case, it's also complicated by the fact that one of the major ways to get into downtown, coming from the eastern part of the Twin Cities Metro Area is on the street that goes right by the stadium, which will not be open in the days leading up to the game. Then, the transit line, and we have Lightrail here, so it's a subway on the street level, goes right by the stadium, and so that line is going to be closed, I believe, is the final decision they've come up with. There's also a transit terminal that's a bus station that's right by the stadium, which is also going to be closed. That significantly kind of disrupts transit, and there's a lot of transit riders that go into Downtown Minneapolis. Jen Otremba:               Yeah, and to make matters worse, obviously, we live in the, they're calling it the bold north right? We live in the north, right? So that means cold. I mean, bitter, bitter cold that we're experiencing right now, as is the rest of the country, but when we talk bitter cold, we're talking 20 below zero it was the other day when I woke up in the morning. Cold, cold, and then also the risk of snow. Snowstorms. Bryan Strawser:            Right, right. The weather, it's a totally unpredictable factor. Jen Otremba:               It absolutely is. Bryan Strawser:            Although we have sky ways, which are like indoor walkways between buildings on the second floor. Jen Otremba:               Some of which may be closed. Bryan Strawser:            Some of which could be closed, but they don't connect to the stadium. Jen Otremba:               They do not, no. Bryan Strawser:            Right? You can get to the convention center from a downtown hotel, but, you know, some of the attendees for these events are staying in Saint Paul and Bloomington and, you know, other suburbs, because there's not enough hotel space downtown. Jen Otremba:               No, it's very limited. Bryan Strawser:            To accommodate this. So there's a lot of challenges in terms of getting around; traffic and transit are going to be big challenges. The second one is just the security situation. If you've never been to this kind of an event ... Well, let's talk about the stadium for a second. The stadium will have a hard perimeter, so there's going to be a point 300 feet or so from the stadium that if you're not ticketed, you're just not going to be able to get into, and, you'll go through a security check at that particular location in order to get into the hard perimeter, right? This is the security standoff zone, you can figure where the 300 feet comes from, it's the blast radius. They're keeping all of this out, 300 or so feet. Then there is a soft perimeter, which really won't be a perimeter, like, you're not going to see walls or things like that, but there will be a point where you start to notice a significant security/law enforcement presence, and they'll really be doing things like watching for behavior, and trying to determine a threat prior to them reaching the security checkpoint, where there will be crowds, obviously, waiting to enter the stadium for various events. You're going to see the same thing at the convention center, because the NFL is taking that over for special events, and then for NFL Live in Downtown Minneapolis, which is totally open to the public, and it's totally free. Jen Otremba:               Super Bowl Live, yeah. Bryan Strawser:            Yeah, Super Bowl Live, whatever. I keep saying NFL Live, but I think it's Super Bowl Live. Jen Otremba:               Super Bowl Live, yeah. Bryan Strawser:            That's also going to be totally open. There will be no hard perimeter. You can't check for weapons or things like that, but there will be security and law enforcement who have been trained in behavioral observation who are looking for people that, perhaps, could be up to no good. Jen Otremba:               Yes, and it's designed that way for a reason. They're really advertising it, wanting it to be one of those events where even if you don't have tickets to the game, you can come and enjoy some of the events 10 days prior. Bryan Strawser:            Right. Jen Otremba:               Which is really cool, but again, we have clients who have businesses right on that Nicollet Mall, downtown district area. There's a lot of concern as to how do I get my employees into work in the morning? Where do my employees park? Are they able to go out and find lunch at lunchtime? Are the crowds going to be so bad that they're not even going to be able to get around? Bryan Strawser:            Right. Jen Otremba:               How do we continue running our business during this time period? Bryan Strawser:            You know, we've got in a number of clients and some others that have been involved in some planning efforts that we've been a part of. I think we've started all of this advice with the first thing you've got to do is get connected. Jen Otremba:               Yes. Bryan Strawser:            There are groups that are working on this; the chambers of commerce, the downtown business council, we are a part of a Super Bowl planning coalition that we lead for major employers in the downtown area, because they really haven't gotten much support from the city and others. It's been finding this information on their own, until recently, when the host committee has gotten better about communicating the security please and the traffic plans, and the things that are going on. Jen Otremba:               Yeah, I mean, I think it was all still in planning, so, it was all still tentative up until, what? November? Bryan Strawser:            Until the middle of November. Jen Otremba:               Yep, exactly. Bryan Strawser:            But get connected, and I think getting plugged in with the host committee and others is important, talking with the police about what their plans are, so, if you're in Minneapolis, the Minneapolis Police, but talk to your local law enforcement. They'll have some indications. I think it's important to stay connected with your peer organizations, the other companies, to find out what everyone's doing. Because when you talk with your executives about plans and about work, and about things that you might want to do to make this easier for everybody, and still get the work done, I think everyone's going to ask, "Well, what is X doing?" What are our neighbors doing? What are other businesses doing? Because that, I think, drives more of that kind of behavior, and gives, kind of, some social credibility, social proof to the efforts that you might want to be talking about. Jen Otremba:               Well, and, I think it's important to stay away from the rumor-based information, right? If you go right to the sources, and actually talk to people, you can learn what's actually happening versus rumors. Bryan Strawser:            First, get connected, and we can help with that, we can guide you. If you're in Downtown Minneapolis, and you're a bigger company, we can kind of pull you into the planning coalition that we're a part of. Second is that you really need to build a plan. I don't think this has to be anything complicated, but, I think, first, if you don't have a crisis plan on how you would get together and make decisions and communicate decisions, and communicate with your team, when something bad happens, you need to start there. Like, how are you going to do that? Who are the five, six, seven people that need to be your crisis team, and just keep it simple, start there. Use it for the Super Bowl, and then figure out what you're going to do elsewhere. Planning-wise, before you even start saying, "I'm going to do X, Y, Z that week." I think it needs to be if you don't have a way to make decisions during a crisis, start there. Jen Otremba:               Yeah, it does not need to be complicated. Bryan Strawser:            Right. Jen Otremba:               Do not over-complicate this. Bryan Strawser:            Yes, it's not rocket science. Jen Otremba:               No, it is not. Bryan Strawser:            The second thing is, you have to think about what are your particular risks. If, for example, your business abuts Nicollet Mall, where Super Bowl Live is going to be. Well, you're going to have a lot of people wandering around. So, do you need to do something different with your perimeter? With your front door? With your sky way entrance? You will have people looking to use the bathroom, and even though there's going to be, I can't remember how many porta potties they said they were bringing in downtown. There were hundreds. But those are all things that are going to happen. So, think through how you're going to handle those things. If you're a larger company and you've got a reception desk in your lobby, but anybody can walk into your lobby, maybe you don't want that during Super Bowl Live. Maybe you want to put a security officer, you know, out by the lobby entrance, and if an employee is coming in, cool, they can get in, you can see their ID badge. Jen Otremba:               Properly credentialed. Bryan Strawser:            Properly credentialed folks. If it's somebody just coming into your lobby, maybe you don't want that during the Super Bowl, because I will guarantee they'll be in there looking to use the bathroom. Jen Otremba:               Well, and think through your sky ways, too. If you have sky ways that you own/operate yourself, you might want to think about what that looks like. Bryan Strawser:            Keep in mind that there is some city ordinance and stuff around sky ways. Jen Otremba:               There are, yep. Bryan Strawser:            That you'll want to talk with your legal counsel about what that means. Jen Otremba:               Make sure to do your research. Bryan Strawser:            Right. Jen Otremba:               Absolutely. Bryan Strawser:            Or do it anyway. Jen Otremba:               In some cases, yes. Bryan Strawser:            The other part of your plan, I think, needs to be, you know, what can you do to accommodate your employees? Like, where are they going to park? A lot of the downtown parking space is going to be taken for other purposes. There won't be street parking in a lot of areas, because street parking is how vehicle-borne IEDs are delivered. One of the ways they're delivered. I think you're going to see large swaths of downtown where street parking is going to be prohibited, ramp parking will be more limited, they will want people to take transit, at least until they close that. Jen Otremba:               And understand what that changes could be to the public transportation, because there are some transit changes during that time, as well. Bryan Strawser:            Right. Jen Otremba:               Which, I believe is up on their website, now. It's just a matter of doing your research. Bryan Strawser:            Yep, so, Metro Transit, or the Metropolitan Counsel, either way, will get you there. Jen Otremba:               Yep. Bryan Strawser:            In the Twin Cities. If remote work is a possibility, particularly, as things get busier the closer to the game later in that week, maybe that's something you want to consider. Because then you avoid the whole issue of crowds, building protection, ramp space, and et cetera. We understand that not everybody can do remote work. That many companies have operation centers and call centers and things where people have to be there to do the work. But if you don't have to have them there, they can work remotely from home or whatever, that is a very solid strategy that lots of companies are going to use that week. Jen Otremba:               At least as a consideration for sure. Then, also, communication. How are you, if something happens, how are you communicating to your employees? How are you communicating to your leadership? How are you communicating to the media? How are you ... What is your plan around communication? Bryan Strawser:            How will you communicate quickly to your team if something happens? Like, if you've got to evacuate, there is a threat, or a risk for something that's going on, what do you do? Jen Otremba:               Yep. Bryan Strawser:            Then, lastly, I think, just in terms of general awareness, the Super Bowl, cold or not, it's going to bring out the criminal element. Things like pick-pocketing, human trafficking, people that are drinking more, I think we'll see more intoxicated behavior in downtown in the week leading up to the Super Bowl, and the night of the game, and all of those great things. Not just in the area around the game. Like, there are bars open until three or four, I can't remember what they ... Exemptions they've done. Jen Otremba:               The bars have extended hours, and I think, and I'm not sure what the end result about this is, but there was discussion about allowing drinking on the street there, Super Bowl Live. I don't know what the end result was with that, but, that is also another factor to think about. Bryan Strawser:            Yep, it needs to warm up for that to happen. No one is going to be outside watching concerts. Jen Otremba:               I don't know, you'd be surprised. I mean, warming houses and things like that, people come out. Bryan Strawser:            Not enough alcohol to get me to do that. Jen Otremba:               No, but people do, definitely. Bryan Strawser:            I know. Jen Otremba:               I mean, think about the other outside events in the wintertime, what, crushed ice? Crashed ice? The Red Bull. Bryan Strawser:            Yeah, the thing we always call the [inaudible 00:14:41]. Jen Otremba:               Yeah. Bryan Strawser:            Yeah. During the time around the Super Bowl, as you get closer to that event, I think it's a good time to ... You've got your plans in place, you've done all this preparation we've talked about. Now, I think it's in that week of the Super Bowl. I think it's a good time to use your crisis process, to have a daily call about what's gone on, and what's happening that day, and maybe even twice a day, about what's going on, what events are coming, what your posture is, what's happened in the last 24 hours, where you might need to adjust your strategy. Then use that to inform your senior executives about what you're doing. Find out what they are concerned with during this, and make sure that you're kind of alleviating their fears, or it's driving a change in your strategy as you go through that. I know we will be having daily calls with a group of clients and others as we go through the week of the Super Bowl, and I think once a week, in a couple weeks prior to the game, just to touch base with everybody. Those are some ideas. You know, between Jen and I, we've managed, I can't remember how many major events like this, Super Bowls, political conventions. Jen Otremba:               Many. Yeah. Bryan Strawser:            Many of these. Jen Otremba:               Shareholder meetings. Bryan Strawser:            Shareholder meetings. These are the lessons that we've learned that we think will really help you as you go about this. Certainly, if we can help with Super Bowl LII, don't hesitate to reach out and give us a call at 612-235-6435, or contact@bryghtpath.com. Go Pats!

Will we exceed the annual peak number that was set this summer at 313? Last year we did exceed in October which caused the market to change for a few months, it is important we really track what happens supply vs. demand and stay below the current peak marker.

www.commsolutionsmn.com- We've talked about the importance of being involved on advisory commissions before. They give recommendations for or against various legislation to cities, counties, and school districts. It is an opportunity for residents of a city/county/school district to get into a position of entry-level governing to consider legislation the governmental body is looking at. Locally elected bodies and advisory commissions are nonpartisan bodies that should represent the entire community's view on nonpartisan issues. That's easy enough to do when talking about zoning, parks, watersheds, or how to organize the government. There has been an undercurrent, however, to create more progressive advisory commissions (like around biking or equity) that have become more of an advocacy group than a balanced community-wide view. These groups are better suited as private clubs that exercise their 1st amendment rights to petition government for their interests, rather than being a part of it, designed to push a progressive agenda in a nonpartisan body. We introduce you to some of these and make the case why they don't quite fit the mold of nonpartisanship. We also discuss the push by the state legislature to reduce suspensions and expulsions in Minnesota schools. They feel that it is not equitable to minorities, so they want to get rid of the practice for the most part. They feel that by creating a more caring environment that fosters a desire to learn that students receiving suspensions and expulsions will become model students. We're not so sure.

A two-time high school state champion while growing up in Minnesota, Jordan Holm was an up-and-coming talent not just on the college mats, but in Greco-Roman. While he's put a lot of the past behind him to make two straight U.S. World Teams in Greco-Roman, Holm still has to answer questions about his past and the battles he's been enduring to try to clear his name from a 2003 conviction that put him in prison.While Holm still fights the fight for vindication, he won his third U.S. Open championship back in April and earlier this month in Daytona Beach, beat Zac Nielsen in two straight matches to earn the right to represent the United States at the 2014 World Championships in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.A few of the questions Jordan Holm answers in Episode 70 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast are:You've started taking an active role in managing some things at the Minnesota Training Center.

What are the difficulties or advantages in wrestling someone who you train with regularly?Let's go back in time, and this is something that will always follow you. In 2003, you were convicted of a crime you to this day, insist you did not commit. This prompted your family to create freejordan.org, where letters and information was distributed to the public about your plight. The end result was you spent eight years in prison. This is obviously a situation you'll have to still answer questions about. How are you handling it all?How much did the loss in 2012 to Chas Betts in the best-of-three Olympic Trials finals sting and how much did that factor in to you continuing your wrestling career through the 2016 Olympic Cycle?You actually left the University of Northern Iowa to play a semester of Division III football with your brother, who was attending Division III Bethel at the time. Explain that scenario and why you decided to head to Bethel to play another sport, even just for a short time.And then there's our listener questions:An unnamed coach in Shoreview, Minnesota with "pinnaclewrestling" in their email address asks why is your hair so crazy and is there a chance you might shave it before Worlds?Griffin Parriott down in New Prague, Minnesota asks: What's the biggest diference when wrestling American opponents compared to wrestling foreign opponents. When do you plan on being done competing and will you coach once done?Mike Tschida in South Haven, Minnesota ... that's South Haven, with a population of 187 ... he asks with the great history of the Storm program, which wrestler from the past would you choose to emulate with respect to their wrestling style?Andy Furhman, our man who does a lot of live blogs and broadcasting for TheOpenMat around the country asks if there are any plans to write a book about your experiences.Information about Jordan Holm and the Minnesota Training CenterJordan Holm on Twitter @holmboy85Minnesota Training Center on Twitter @MTCStorm
