Digitally networked action in european mass protestpolnet
We analyze the characteristics and the effects of emerging mobilization patterns based on intensive use of online social networks and loose organizational affiliation. To what extent is digitally networked action making a difference in political involvement? How different is it from traditional collective action strategies?
Based on protest surveys for 57 demonstrations that occurred across 7 European countries between December 2009 and June 2011, we find that protest events staged by coalitions based on social networks and loosely-coupled alliances make a difference in reaching previously uninvolved individuals and those with lower organizational engagement. Evidence of online social networks that enable individual linkages through the personalization of collective frames indicates a possible mechanism for this mobilization effect. These findings provide new evidence for the debate on the potential impact of internet use in reducing political inequalities.

Municipal Infrastructure: Managing Assets to Capital Improvement PlansOHM Advisors
This presentation discusses asset management and capital improvement planning for infrastructure. It begins by explaining the purpose is to discuss managing assets and developing capital improvement plans, differentiating between wish lists and prioritized needs, and addressing both current and future needs. The presentation then uses the City of Ann Arbor as an example to illustrate how they inventory and assess infrastructure condition to prioritize rehabilitation and replacement projects. Graphs are shown projecting infrastructure needs over time under different rehabilitation scenarios. Opportunities mentioned for collaboration between communities to improve asset management include a pending state bill, grant programs, economies of scale, and collaboration committees.

The Top 4 risks in P4P (Pay for Performance) 20120611PERFORMENSATION
Incorrect metrics, poorly set goals, and underwhelming communication are the top risks in pay for performance programs according to Dan Walter. Metrics must align shareholders, the company, and participants. Goals should set thresholds, modifiers, and accelerators to determine payout levels. Frequent and transparent communication is essential to engage participants and manage expectations regarding performance and payouts. The biggest risk of all is human nature, so programs require active management to prevent behaviors like coasting or bending rules to one's advantage.

Regulatory, Technical and Modeling Challenges to Developing a Frequency Based...OHM Advisors
Wayne County’s North Huron Valley / Rouge Valley (NHVRV) interceptor system collects
sewage from 15 communities located in Southeast Michigan and transports flows to the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD) for treatment and discharge. The County is evaluating a regional approach to controlling wet weather sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs). A new methodology called the i3D antecedent moisture (AM) model, was used to perform the hydrologic modeling. The i3D model is a continuous model that produces a good match to observed flow data over time. The accuracy of the model resulted in a high level of confidence in the frequency analysis for SSOs and will serve as the basis for recommending improvements to control wet weather SSOs. The use of the AM model combined with a frequency analysis for sizing improvements eliminated the need to select a design storm event based on “average” conditions. This reduced many of the conservatisms that are frequently included in event models such as the capture coefficient and seasonal effects. The use of spatially varied rainfall also improved the accuracy of the analysis over the use of a point rain gauge. This paper presents the modeling and analysis innovations used and the preliminary development of a regional project.
