Innovation and STEM-worker (science, technology, engineering, and math) intensive “advanced industries” are the prime movers of regional and national economic competitiveness in the United States. Industries like aerospace and auto, oil and gas extraction, or software and health IT stand at the forefront of the most disruptive technological and business dynamics of the moment, and will be central to U.S. prosperity going forward.
To consider the future of these industries, the Brookings Institution’s Metropolitan Policy Program hosted a major CEOs forum highlighting the importance of the nation’s advanced industries and the opportunities and challenges they face. Informed by new research from Brookings, the morning-long dialogue convened advanced industry CEOs as well as elected officials to discuss the increased viability of the U.S. platform for advanced industry investment as well as the extraordinary technology trends now altering the terms of competition.

I'm very happy to say that you can find about ten of my photos in this months Advanced Photographer Magazine illustrating their Urban Location guide. Not only have they published some of my favourite photos, some of them like this one of the Birmingham Selfridges fill the whole page.
Even without the inclusion of my photos I'd really recommend the magazine ;-) , it's got a slightly different spin on things and doesn't seem to recycle the same articles one a yearly basis.
You can see some sample pages of the magazine here : issuu.com/brightpublishing/docs/ap33-sampler

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) and partners are raising awareness of the rules around advanced stop lines (ASLs) at traffic lights.
The work forms part of Operation Considerate, GMP’s ongoing campaign to encourage all road users to show each other consideration.
ASLs are designed to help motorists and cyclists by providing an area for cyclists to wait in front of traffic when the lights are red.
Cyclists in this area are more easily visible to motorists, and have space to move off when the lights turn green.
Police are reminding motorists that they must not enter ASL boxes when the lights are on red, as this space is reserved for cyclists.
Motorists crossing the first stop line when the lights are red are liable for a £100 fine and three points on their licence. However, if the traffic light changes from green to amber and they cannot safely stop before the first line, then they may cross it, but must ensure they stop before the second line.
The message to cyclists is very simple – do not cross the second stop line while the traffic signal is red, as doing so is illegal and could result in a £50 fine.
Superintendent Craig Thompson of GMP’s Specialist Operations Branch said: “The main aim of Operation Considerate is to ensure that all road users share the road responsibly, and knowledge of the rules around ASLs is a key part of that.
“During the first two weeks of the campaign we will be educating motorists and cyclists on ASLs at certain junctions around the city centre, and then in the following two weeks we shall be carrying out enforcement work where people may face fines for failing to observe the rules.
“When using the roads we would advise motorists to leave at least 1.5m when passing cyclists, and cyclists need to have fixed lights on their bikes, both front and back.”
Operation Considerate, which will be promoted on Twitter under #OpConsiderate, is fully endorsed by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC).
Greater Manchester’s Deputy PCC Jim Battle said: “Everyone has a right to feel safe on the road – pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists. We all share the road and we all need to obey the rules that help us get safely from A to B.
“Advanced stop lines provide an area of high visibility for cyclists and visibility is critical to cycling safety. GMP will be urging motorists to obey the rules of ASLs and reminding cyclists to maximise their visibility using bikelights and bright clothing – especially now the nights are getting darker.”
