Eighty-Six Your Clutter
The holiday season has arrived, and as magical and wonderful as it is, it can also get cluttered quickly. Between gift exchanges, decorations, parties, and other festive things, you can undo a year of decluttering efforts in thirty days or less. While you could stick with the one in, one out method, chances are you'd rather pay attention to other things right now.
While I generally prefer slow, steady change, occasionally a radical challenge is necessary.
Eighty-Six Your Clutter
The phrase eighty-six or 86 simply means getting rid of something and is commonly used in restaurants. When the kitchen runs out of potatoes, they tell the servers to "86 potatoes" and let customers know that there are no potatoes available.
The Challenge – Get rid of 86 things in 2 hours or less.
Keep the potatoes and 86 your clutter 86 times. Speed is your friend in this challenge. Collect the clutter and get it out the door asap. If you can't remove it from your home in the same day, box or bag it up and tape it closed. Combine this with other simplicity challenges you might be attempting now for maximum momentum.
I've decluttered so much over the past few years, that I was able to move from a 2000 sq. foot home to a 750 sq. foot apartment with no storage options. I took the 86 challenge to identify the easiest places to find 86 items to discard. I was also curious to see how quickly I could do it and what I had left to clear out. I eighty-sixed 86 in 40 minutes.
Where to find your 86 fast
My number is next to the area mentioned. The more you own, the easiest this will be. If you want to get rid of even more, consider two passes or challenge your family to see who can find 86 the fastest.
Bathroom – 18
86 Lotions, make-up, nail polish, and anything else that you haven't used in a while.
Freezer – 5
86 anything with freezer burn, expired food and any packages that have been open for too long.
Pantry – 3
86 stale items. Donate food in unopened cans or containers that hasn't expired but you will never eat.
Kitchen things – 8
86 doubles like measuring cup sets and spoons. If you have 6 mixing spoons or spatulas, could you get by with 4? How many drinking glasses do you really need?
Office/Work Stuff – 6
86 extra pens, old notes, computer software you are holding onto for no reason, and staples if you don't have a stapler.
Closet/Bedroom -21
86 anything that doesn't fit or still has tags from a Labor Day sale. Dump the single socks and the workout shirt that hasn't been to the gym in months.
Hall Closet – 5
86 extra coats and donate them to a shelter. Check the top shelf too. No one owns this closet so things you forgot about end up stuffed in the back. Get rid of the unknown, the hiding and the unnecessary.
Purse – 8
86 extra chapstick, old receipts, expired gift cards and grocery lists.
Phone – 3
86 apps you don't use, even if you paid for them and you thought they would make your life better.
Computer – 9
86 files that you've been saving just in case that you haven't opened in months or years.
Other places you might find your 86 – garages, attics, storage units, dining rooms, living rooms, dens and any other room in your home.
Just like that, you are 86 things lighter and can enjoy the holidays without worrying about complete clutter chaos waiting for you at the end of the year.

This autumn, circumstances forced yet another clearout on us. Fortunately.
One mornging this week, I spent a pleasant hour putting out and arranging my Christmas trinkets, all things I love and there are now only two boxes of them, properly organized so they don't break, instead of miscellaneous boxes, bags and other containers stashed all over the place. I don't even have to think about anything else except putting up my Christmas tree on the 24th December (again, all baubles are in a box) and tomorrow I can happily sit down and do crafts with my grandchildren – found all I need in a single craft box when preparing for their visit.
It's bliss!
I got in a purge mood and cleaned out a lot, so I may have inadvertently 86′d 86 items. I should count the items to see. Otherwise, it'll be time for an 86 session. I love this idea!
Thank you! This was fun and fast.
Great idea to take 2 hours and make clutter disappear!
I did an 86 in 15 minutes on the bathroom junk basket and my underwear drawer!
Just the inspiration I needed today. Thanks!
This was just the kick I needed today. I started picking up clutter after my daughter went to bed and stopped counting at 86 but actually went a little higher. I also ended up purging old books off my daughter's shelf and restocking some from the closet that are now the right level and also put away some too-small clothes that were piled precariously. Felt great!
This probably isn't relevant to this post but I had to share. My mother who is 93 and I have decided to go through the clutter in case we have to downsize in a hurry – her job was to go through the 'good' cutlery drawer – I asked her why she was putting some perfectly good silver plate dinner forks in the give away pile and she said "I've had them since I was married and never used them" ( They looked like new). I asked why and she said "I was keeping them for best"!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She was married at 26. They are gorgeous and we are now using them for every day. My new motto is use the things you love now – don't keep them for best.
Thankyou for this prompt. I lost track at 20 something, but the impetus kept me going long after.
I looked around and noticed that I was starting to suffer from "clutter – creep". You know, the stuff that slowly sneaks up on you over time. So, after reading this 86 suggestion, off I went and nipped my clutter in the bud! The house looks so much better for it and feels more like a serene oasis now, a refuge from the stress of the outside world! See how you inspire us Courtney! Thanks!
I decided to give away my old vinyl records. I don't have a record player anymore, and most of the music I have on CD anyway (have to get rid of them too, I am working to get them on the computer!). So I put them in a box and counted them… 85! Wow, that was easy. Just added a book and done
I used the rest of my time to reorganize my stuff. Threw away a full box of old paper stuff. (I guess more than 86 pieces…)
Now I have a home for my old slides! They lived in the bedroom, and now there is a new place for the towels and sheets, which lived in our clothes cabinets.
Feels good, thanks for reminding me to do another de-cluttering!
I read this early this morning and by 6pm, over 250 items from my wardrobe alone were gone. My T-shirts, underwear and jewelry reduced the most. I had no idea I had 43 underpants and 8 pairs of jeans. It looks so bare but very coordinated. Thanks
I took on the challenge just now. In about an hour I found 90 items to get rid of, and I'd only got through from the hallway and front door via the toilet and the bathroom to halfway through the kitchen. 3/4 of the house is still to go through, but I think for today I'll stop at 90 There's a start for the christmas clean up! Thanks for the challenge Courtney.
I like this idea, but I can't help but get caught up in the battle of what to recycle vs. what to just throw away. The idea of just tossing more stuff in the trash that could either be reused, recycled or upcycled makes me a little crazy, and is probably a reason that I have more clutter than I could.
In case you see this-I take anything that could be useful and donate it. There are a variety of places that will accept drop-offs and even pick-up, and they all have clear lists of the types of things they can use. Anything else that might possibly be useful-even if broken-I list for free on freecycle or craigslist and other such trading sites, and I clearly describe the condition so that someone handy might want to repair it. Everything has been taken and appreciated by someone else that can make use of it. If it can't be repaired or isn't useable, I am happy to trash or recycle it, but it has to go. It is very freeing to be able to make these quick decisions and just get it done. I have regular times for sending things off and listing things to give away.
Thomas – donation. There are tons of charities that would be glad to accept whatever wearable clothes, usable kitchen items or books that you might have. Even furniture.
It might take a few phone calls tofind the place for all your stuff, but you won't have to dump it. I also feel that just throwing everything in the trash would be the absolutely worst way of decluttering.
Sibylle – I totally get the donation thing, and very often do that. In fact I was ranting about a neighbor that was moving recently and had all kinds of stuff out on the street on trash day that was all very usable which would have been very readily taken at any donation center. My point was because of not wanting to throw the stuff away, but not being able to part with it through donating or recycling causes me to have more clutter. Chucking everything into the trash is definitely the worst way to declutter.
Angela, Thanks for your reply. It is something that I am definitely going to work on this coming year. This week I again saw a family moving out of their house and there was all kinds of reusable items that were just chucked out in the trash. Arrgh! Thanks again. Hope you have a great end of 2013
omg!!! got rid over 100 items in less than 30 min…going to keep doing this in every room…love it!! wish I had found this site years ago. Getting ready to retire and want to be ready to live simpler and appreciate everything I have. Many thanks..Will be returning to this site frequently..
I have discovered that resale stores want to have your clothes even if they are in bad repair as they sell them in bulk at a good profit for rags.

Nurses staging walkouts at Sutter Hospitals
Bay City News, May 2, 2012
Thousands of registered nurses from eight Bay Area Sutter Health-managed hospitals are striking Tuesday and are planning to participate in rallies to protest a proposed decrease in their employer-covered health care expenses. It is the third strike in seven months by members of the California Nurses Association over contracts that have been under negotiation for nearly a year. Some 4,500 nurses went on strike 7 a.m. today, and plan to strike a full 24 hours, according to the nurses association. Discussions have reached an impasse because nurses say Sutter is demanding that they forgo paid sick days and pay more toward their healthcare, among other requested concessions.

JoAnn M. Faiella was elected Mayor of Port St. Lucie in November 2010 after serving eight years in the city's police department as a criminal intelligence analyst and police service aide.
As mayor, she has been a leading advocate for several important community issues, including economic development and job growth, environmental preservation and improved relationships with governmental agencies at the local, state and federal levels.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, N.Y., she moved to Port St. Lucie in 1989 after falling in love with the city while on vacation. She began working for the city in 2002 as a police service aide and later as a criminal intelligence analyst..
Mayor Faiella is active with the Lions Club, Harvest Food Outreach, Hibiscus and the College Preparatory Academy of the Treasure Coast. In her role as Mayor of Florida's 9th largest city, she serves as President of the Treasure Coast League of Cities and Chair of the St. Lucie Transportation Organization.
Other boards and committees include:
Among her most rewarding experiences as Mayor was her collaboration with Honor Flight Network to send 89 World War II veterans to Washington, D.C. to see a special memorial there acknowledging their sacrifices. Mayor Faiella supports other veterans' causes, such as the National Purple Heart City initiative, and the recognition of the end of the Korean War.
Since becoming mayor, she worked with detectives and state legislators to create a law to help police officers investigate suspects charged with sex crimes before they are released on bond. Through her persistent efforts working with the police department and other elected officials, Brittany's Law was enacted in June 2013.
Other successes include the recruitment of nationally renowned destination retailer Bass Pro Shops to Port St. Lucie, a Tesla Motors electric car supercharging station, and a Golden Apple award program recognizing excellence in public schools in Port St. Lucie.
Mayor Faiella is proud of the combined efforts of local citizens and the city's police department, which led to a 19 percent reduction in crime in 2012, and again in 2013. It was the fourth consecutive year the Florida Department of Law Enforcement statistics show that Port St. Lucie had the state's lowest crime rate for a city with more than 100,000 people.
She also supports environmental causes that protect natural resources for future generations. Those projects include the installation of solar electric panels to help power the Civic Center, the city's purchase of 3,107 acres of undeveloped farmland for future water supply needs, and a contract with Honeywell Corporation to reduce the city's energy consumption enough to power 450 homes a year.
Mayor Faiella also supports the efforts of the non-profit Solar and Energy Loan Fund, which helps local homeowners obtain low-cost financing for home renovations that lower their monthly energy costs and consumption.
JoAnn has three children and one grandchild, and is thankful every day for the opportunities and friendships she has found since moving to Port St. Lucie.
Linda Bartz is serving her second term as Councilwoman, District 1. Linda is a business woman who knows how to balance a budget and manage money.
Linda is active in the community serving with the Port St. Lucie Rotary, Council on Aging, Treasure Coast Crime Stoppers, the Exchange Club, Hospice Ethics Committee, Concerned Citizens, Big Heart Brigade, and the recently formed St. Lucie County Sustainability Ad Hoc Committee.
Whether it's helping to address important issues in the community such as traffic and roads to ensure that emergency vehicles can get to and from hospitals and accident scenes quickly, working with the Superintendent and members of the St. Lucie County School District to raise educational standards or helping to bring down the high cost of taxes, insurance and living on the Treasure Coast, Linda is dedicated and committed to keeping Port St. Lucie moving into the future.
Originally from New Jersey, Linda and her husband Gary have been residents of Port St. Lucie for 20 years. They have three grown daughters and are the proud grandparents of three grandchildren. In her spare time, Linda relaxes by reading a good mystery.
Michelle Lee Berger was elected to the Port St. Lucie City Council in November 2004 with 60 percent of the voters approving of the fresh ideas and positive message she offered during her campaign.
As the mother of two boys and the wife of a Palm Beach County firefighter, Michelle understands the expectations of Port St. Lucie's families, and has been a strong proponent of the quality-of-life issues that make the city the destination of so many new residents.
And with more than 14 years of management and small business owner experience, along with a bachelor's degree in business management, she understands the important role businesses play in the city's stability and development. That's why she has been a supporter of policies that ensure the city's growth will include a healthy mix of commercial and residential areas, and that the local infrastructure will be among the best in Florida long into the future.
As a persistent advocate for fiscal responsibility, Michelle urges that taxpayer money be used only for those projects that bring the most value to the city, and her support of a proposal to change the financing plan for construction of the Crosstown Parkway will help the city save millions of dollars on a project that won approval of 89 percent of Port St. Lucie's voters in 2005.
Perhaps her greatest strength, however, is her contagious energy and her ability to build consensus for the programs and projects she believes in. As a volunteer in several local organizations and committees, Michelle has demonstrated this to the residents and officials who have worked with her, and who now see the positive impact she has had on the future of the city.
Her favorite activity is spending time with her family, and their boating and camping experiences have allowed them to enjoy the best of what the magnificent state of Florida has to offer. She currently serves on the St. Lucie County Scenic Highway Committee, the St. Lucie County Bridge and Expressway Authority, St. Lucie County Tourism Development Council, St. Lucie County/Martin Metropolitan Planning Organization, Florida Atlantic University Advisory Committee, St. Lucie County Habitat for Humanity, North Fork of the St. Lucie River Management Advisory Committee, and as an alternate to the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council. Michelle also serves on the Community Advisory Board for Seacoast Bank, as well as two non-profit organizations' boards: the YMCA of the Treasure Coast and the Police Athletic League in Port St. Lucie. A major accomplishment recently has been the marriage of resources between the Y and PAL which resulted in a new facility for after school care within the City of Port St. Lucie funded by a Children's Services Council grant. Michelle was also recently appointed by Senate President Ken Pruitt to a newly formed State of Florida Fireworks Task Force, which has been assigned the task of crafting new state legislation for fireworks sale and distribution.
Port St. Lucie City Councilwoman Shannon Martin has served as the District 3 representative since 2010. Since being elected to the position she has been working on various important boards and committees to make sure that the future of Port St. Lucie remains promising for residents and businesses.
As Chair of the St. Lucie County Fire District's seven-member board of directors, Shannon works to ensure that top-quality public safety services are provided by the district's 370 firefighters and 52 general employees.
Shannon also serves on the St. Lucie Transportation Planning Organization (TPO), where she works with other St. Lucie County elected leaders to ensure that future road connectivity and public transportation services will be adequate to serve the growing population.
As an alternate on the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council, Shannon also is aware of the importance of Port St. Lucie's influence on regional issues relating to growth management.
When residents in her district were concerned about inadequate access for emergency vehicles in their neighborhood, Shannon spearheaded a project to connect S.W. Fairgreen Drive to the Crosstown Parkway, greatly increasing access for emergency vehicles and hundreds of residents.
She also helped residents on Alpha Street get their street closed, so it would not become a busy passage for traffic heading to the newly-widened Becker Road.
Another issue that Shannon supported to help residents in her district is the city's new abandoned property-registration ordinance. This ordinance is an important tool to make sure that properties in residential areas do not become an eyesore to neighbors, driving down property values.
Shannon is a strong supporter of the police department's efforts to keep the city's crime rate low, and she understands the importance of providing recreational opportunities for young people to help keep them out of trouble.
For this reason, she continues her efforts to bring a modern, top-quality skateboard park to Port St. Lucie, and is also looking at establishing alternate recreational facilities, such as a BMX bicycling facility. Additionally, she serves on the Board of Directors for the Boys & Girls Club of St. Lucie County.
To help local businesses, Shannon initiated a program on PSL-TV20 which showcases the city's business climate and introduces residents to local businesses.
Shannon says she is honored to serve as a Port St. Lucie City Council member, and she has loved Port St. Lucie since moving here in 2006 with her family.
Shannon is a paralegal by profession, and her husband Aaron is a city police officer.
She encourages residents to sign up for her free e-newsletter and to feel free to contact her with any issues or concerns by calling (772) 871-5159. She also can be reached by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Councilman Ron Bowen was elected to the Port St. Lucie City Council in November 2012. This is the second time serving for Ron as he previously served three terms on the City Council starting in 1992. In that time Ron worked with six fellow Council members and two Mayors laying the foundation for the future of Port St. Lucie.
Together, they brought central water and sewer service to the city. They bought key properties for what is now the Crosstown Parkway. They gave the Police Department the resources to grow and become an accredited agency. The result: Port St. Lucie over the last twenty years has achieved the admirable status as safest city in Florida for its size.
"We fought hard to prevent adult entertainment establishments from opening in our city," says Ron. "We worked on economic development attracting major employers to Port St. Lucie such as QVC, Liberty Medical Supply and Aegis Communications Group."
Individually, Ron served as a board member of the St. Lucie County Fire District for six years. The district is a taxing agency responsible for countywide fire and emergency medical services. The board sets policy and budget. Under Ron's leadership as board chairman, the district built and equipped two fire stations without an increase in taxes. One of those stations is in St. Lucie West.
That was then. Since returning in November 2012 Ron has learned the major issues facing the City and has been actively involved in shaping PSL's future. Those issues include the completion of the Crosstown Parkway, the future of City Center, the sale of Digital Domain, the need to bring good paying jobs and major employers to the city while helping the small businessman or woman grow their business. Ron believes that quality-of-life issues are the reason most people moved to Port St. Lucie.
Ron currently is a board member of the St. Lucie Transportation Planning Organization. The board deals with county and regional transportation issues while setting priorities for future growth and needs. As a private citizen, Ron is an advisory board member for the Salvation Army of St. Lucie County.
During his first year in office Ron was able to conceive and complete two community outreach projects. The first is the PATCHES Summer Sunshine Toy Drive. This drive benefited children with extreme medical conditions who receive daytime pediatric nursing care. City employees donated over 200 toys while the private sector donated $1,800 in cash contributions. The 2nd annual toy drive will take place in mid-summer.
The second outreach project was the inaugural Hometown Lunchfest. Lunchfest was an event that Ron started to bring the city employees and the community together for a fun day at City Hall. Ron appreciates all of the hard work city employees do every day, and the many contributions of the City's Community. The 2nd annual LUNCHFEST will take place in late fall.
Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, Ron moved to Port St. Lucie in 1977. He has been married to his wife Pat since 1972 and has two adult sons, Eric and Gavin, and two grandsons, Ayden and Camden. Ron has been in the insurance profession since 1970 and is President of R.E. Bowen & Associates Inc., an independent insurance agency. He is a member of the St. Lucie County Chamber of Commerce. Ron received his Bachelor's degree in Business Administration in 1976 from Myers University. In 1974, Ron received his honorable discharge from the U.S. Marine Corps. Ron is a member of First Baptist Church of Port St. Lucie.
As District 4 Councilman, Ron believes the best is yet to come for the city, and that preparing now for new growth will ensure the success of the city in the future.

Missing Jet: Airline's Lack of Information Angers Relatives
By Associated Press - BEIJING
Published: 10th March 2014 05:22 PM
Last Updated: 10th March 2014 05:24 PM
The anguished hours had turned into a day and a half. Fed up with awaiting word on the missing Malaysia Airlines , relatives of passengers in Beijing lashed out at the carrier with a handwritten ultimatum and an impromptu news conference.
Faced with an emergency, the airline said it was doing all it can to answer questions about Flight MH370, which disappeared from radar Saturday with 239 people aboard while heading from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. The uncertainty over the whereabouts was frustrating relatives, but also hindering the carrier's ability to respond: It's difficult to deliver a clear message with so much still unclear.
From a room set aside at a hotel near the Beijing airport, a man with a black shirt emerged with a statement signed by about 100 of the relatives, saying that unless the carrier could give them some clarity, they would take their complaints to the Embassy.
"We don't believe Malaysia Airlines anymore. Sorry everyone, we just don't believe them anymore," the man, who refused to give his name, told a crowd of reporters Sunday.
By this time, the airline already had dispatched dozens of caregivers to Beijing and assigned one to each family, provided accommodation, food, transport and financial assistance. It said it was providing regular updates despite a lack of information about the .
But the initial disorder of Malaysia Airlines' response, and its lack of official contact with relatives in the early going set the tone for the ensuing hours of waiting.
"One of the most important things to remember here," said Frank Taylor, director of an aviation safety center at Cranfield University in Britain, "is that it's much easier to stand down staff after an initial over-reaction than to play catch-up after an initial under-reaction."
The relatives had expected the arrival at 6:30 a.m. Saturday. About four hours later, a handwritten note was posted on a white board in the arrival hall advising relatives to use a shuttle service to go to the Lido Hotel to await information. "It can't be good," said one weeping woman aboard the first bus.
But when the family members got there, they wandered around lost and distressed before hotel staff — apparently unprepared — escorted them into a private area. It was several more hours before an airline spokesman made a brief statement to reporters, providing little information.
"We're literally trying to find out what happened and until you actually find the aircraft you have no way of knowing what actually went on there," the airline's commercial director Hugh Dunleavy told The Associated Press on Sunday. "Our main focus has been to come here, meet the families, give them as much information as we can but without raising false hopes."
Still, passengers' relatives gathered in Beijing complained that the airline hasn't been forthcoming with information. Instead of hearing from the carrier, they said, they've had to rely on news reports for updates on the search.
The initial lack of word led to criticism that the airline did nothing in the five hours after the Boeing 777 jet vanished while cruising at 36,000 feet. But Dunleavy said the airline had immediately notified all in the nearby airspace to be on the lookout. They contacted air traffic control authorities in Malaysia, Vietnam, and China. They notified Malaysia's Civil Aviation Department and Transport Ministry.
The airline made no public announcement before the was scheduled to land because it would have had enough fuel to continue in the air. But by 6:30 a.m., the would have been out of fuel and the airline made an announcement, Dunleavy said.
"It does not mean, and is not true, that we were not doing anything in that period. It was a full ongoing investigation and search and rescue" by authorities, he said.
By Saturday afternoon, the rumors had started flying, and airline officials had to verify each one — all of which took time. Did the land in Nanning, a southern Chinese city? No, it did not. Was a crash off the Vietnam coast confirmed? It was not. Did Vietnamese officials detect the signal? Officials later denied it.
In the Lido Hotel, meanwhile, red-eyed relatives were seeing the rumors on smartphones but not hearing the airline's verifications. Impatience grew.
After 30 hours had passed without contact with the , airline officials told the relatives to prepare for the worst. After about 36 hours, the relatives at the Lido issued their statement, and the man in the black shirt went before reporters.
"They're still telling us they can't find this ," the man said. "All the information we're getting is from the media. We, who are part of the relatives, feel that this is a very improper and indifferent way to treat the family members."
The airline should have been more communicative from the beginning, even if it didn't have any news to provide, said Ira Kalb, a crisis management expert at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.
"You have got to get out ahead of the story and you have got to do whatever you can to comfort the relatives of the people that were on the flight," Kalb said. "If you don't have all the information you just say: 'Look, we're investigating and we're trying to get as much information as we can and as soon as we get it we'll pass it on to you. "'
By later Sunday, the airline was trying to speak more regularly with relatives and expedite passport and visa applications for those who wanted to go to Malaysia. Even that came under fire by some family members.
"We don't want to go to Malaysia now," Guo Qishun, whose son-in-law was on the missing , said Monday. "We are in China now and the Malaysia Airlines people still treat us with such a bad attitude, if we go to Malaysia, will they take care of us? I doubt it."

FTI Consulting Announces Predictive Discovery Solution Comprehensive Solution Combining People, Technology and Process Takes Predictive Coding Out of the "Black Box"
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Oct. 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: FCN), the global business advisory firm dedicated to helping organizations protect and enhance their enterprise value, today announced that its Technology practice is launching Predictive Discovery, a complete and defensible solution that significantly reduces the cost and time of legal review. Predictive Discovery combines an interdisciplinary expert team with predictive coding software to help corporate and law firm attorneys review and produce documents for commercial litigation and regulatory investigations. With Predictive Discovery, legal teams have a one-stop shop for any predictive coding use, including prioritizing important data, eliminating irrelevant information and conducting quality control on human reviewers.
"Predictive Discovery is a more scientific approach to e-discovery. The world-leading statisticians at FTI Consulting helped design this solution for accuracy and defensibility. It enables corporate and outside counsel to utilize advanced technology and statistics to conduct discovery in a more accurate, cost-effective and satisfying manner," said Joe Looby, Senior Managing Director in the Technology practice at FTI Consulting. "The foundation of this service offering is a new technology and process that are easy to explain and are scalable. Predictive Discovery will serve the mounting and complex data challenges our corporate and law firm clients confront daily."
As a complete solution, Predictive Discovery incorporates people, technology and process for cost-effective and defensible results:
- People: The FTI Consulting team works with corporate and outside counsel and/or subject matter experts to review a small subset of the document collection, coding documents first as responsive and second as potentially privileged.
- Technology: A computer model studies and learns from the training set. The software then assigns responsive and privilege scores to the document collection. And, using the unique analytics within Ringtail® software from FTI Consulting, legal teams can visually verify the results.
- Process: Developed in collaboration with FTI Consulting statisticians, key performance indicators such as recall and precision and the resulting coding decisions are monitored and verified in a multistep process using statistical sampling and verification by counsel and experts.
"Legal teams are eager to use predictive coding and reduce the overall cost of e-discovery, but they will only do it if it's defensible," said Barry Murphy, founder of the e-Discovery Journal. "Predictive Discovery from a trusted managed services provider offers corporations and law firms the expert workflow, statistical quality assurance and visual verification that can help ensure that predictive coding results are explainable and defensible. The FTI Consulting Predictive Discovery offering wraps technology and human expertise into a complete managed service."
Because no two cases are the same, Predictive Discovery can be customized in accordance with the goals and requirements of the document review. This enables clients to use Predictive Discovery to assist in a wide range of tasks, including prioritizing documents in the collection based on relevance, culling out pools of largely irrelevant materials, cross checking manual attorney review and isolating key terms in a large collection of coded documents.
The Predictive Discovery technology builds upon the company's large patent portfolio of machine-learning and classification software and leadership in helping develop The Sedona Conference guidance on search, statistics and quality. FTI Consulting clients can combine Predictive Discovery with additional offerings from the firm such as managed review, a secure corporate privilege library for predicting privilege, as well as ancillary services like international data collection to expert witness testimony.
FTI Technology is hosting a webcast tomorrow, entitled Predictive Discovery: Taking Predictive Coding Out of the "Black Box," to discuss the practical implications and application of predictive coding technologies. Attendees can register for the event here.
Predictive Discovery now is available for Ringtail on-demand clients. For more information on Predictive Discovery, please visit www.ftitechnology.com.

Can I Paint My Hardboard Siding?
July 11, 2002
Question from Clarence in Lundar, Manitoba -----
Dear Shell,
I have white hardboard siding on the side of my house. It has been on the house since it was built in 1970. The siding is still in good shape, but needs painting. Can this type of siding be painted? If so what type of paint should I use, and how do I prepare the surface for painting??
Thank You
Dear Clarence,
Yes, you can paint your siding successfully.
1. Wash the siding with Shell Buseys Home Cleaning Formula and make sure you rinse it well.
2. Apply a best quality acrylic latex exterior house paint (not stain).
Note: If there are any bare areas, they must be primed with exterior alkyd primer before you apply the acrylic latex.

South African police discovered a person who could be fugitive narco boss Darko Saric and will confirm with Interpol and authorities in Serbia and Montenegro whether the man they are investigating is him.
Spokesman McIntosh Polela confirmed to OCCRP on Thursday night that the country's Police Hawks Unit (the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigations) has tasked its international fugitives desk to track down the whereabouts of Saric in South Africa.
Polela told the Podgorica daily "Dan" that the person, believed to be Darko Saric, is currently near Capetown, South Africa's second largest city.
"Saric was not arrested, but is the subject of our attention, and when we confirm with Interpol and the governments of Montenegro and Serbia, we will take further measures," Polela said.
"We will send photos and other evidence of this person to Interpol for further consideration, he added.
According to Serbian authorities, Saric led a powerful Balkan criminal organization which for years trafficked cocaine from South America through the Balkans, Italy and Slovenia to Western Europe and profited around one billion euros each year. He was relatively unknown to the public until October 2009 when more than 2 tons of cocaine was seized near the Uruguayan coast in 'Operation Balkan Warrior.'
Company records obtained by OCCRP show that Šarić laundered money by investing in the privatization of important Serbian hotels and buying companies from people who were charged or convicted for organized crime, mostly cigarette smuggling. Saric also worked with Zoran Copic, a Serbian businessman who was arrested by Bosnian authorities last year for money laundering. Copic is currently on trial in Banja Luka.
Saric first came to the attention of South African authorities when local newspapers reported on the slaying of local crime boss Cyril Beeka. Beeka reportedly was linked to Czech fugitive Radovan Krejcir.
The South African Revenue Service (SARS) raided Krejcir's Johannesburg home last year in what was reported by the Mail&Guardian newspaper as part of a larger investigation into Krejcir and his links Eastern European crime families.
Krejcir has denied links to Saric.
Beeka was murdered last year in a gangland style attack. With him at the time was his driver Dobrosav Gavric, himself a Serbian hitman best known for being charged with killing Zeljko "Arkan" Raznatovic, the leader of the Tiger paramilitaries involved in ethnic cleansing in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the last war there.
Polela wouldn't confirm Thursday if the authorities' interest in Saric was related to the investigation into Krejcir and Beeka.
"The investigation whether Saric is in South Africa may take another week to complete," Polela said.
Cobus Coetzee contributed reporting from South Africa.

Keto diet talk for people in the UK. Good restaurants, takeaways, fast-food joints, ingredients, snacks, supermarkets, and much more.
PSA - To the new year starters/A question to the subreddit (self.ketouk)
submitted 1 year ago by ThisIsMyLastAccount
Hello fellow UK Redditors, hope this diet is treating you as well as it is me. Just wanted to say that there are some awesome resources on /r/keto. Sadly for the last week, it's been hit by a bizarre wave of negativity and more drama than a church hall on a saturday morning. Please rest assured it's normally sound. Either way, check it out for the sidebar, it's got so many handy resources - ratio calculators to assist/meal plans/comprehensive FAQ etc.
So yeah, lets keep growing our blighty subreddit here and take all the best that the other keto subreddits has to offer as well.
Can anyone think of any specific UK friendly keto tips/tricks? The one I picked up the other day on here was that a spoons will swap out chips for eggs. Since then I've asked for this every time I've eaten out and have felt far less hard done by as a result.

That the coconut oil found in sainsburys etc is massively overpriced, I recently found a 300g tub in my local Indian run shop for £2, I think it's the same for psyllium husks which I know some people use, you've just got to dig!
[–]ThisIsMyLastAccount[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Wish I new this, mine cost 13 for 800g!
[–]Lolworth 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (3 children)
Damn, I bought the hippy sainsburys stuff like a fool.
Not so sure I like it though... it smokes like a frenchman and butter or olive oil seems just as good
[–]livlov89 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (2 children)
Having looked a bit further I don't think I've got the super virgin oil that people rave about. But I don't use it enough to care! Plus there was no way I was paying £7 (ouch!) in Sainsburys.
[–]Lolworth 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
I got quite a big bottle of extra virgin for about £4 from there. Their own brand.
[–]livlov89 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
