But first:
The food world lost one of its quiet stars, Judy Rogers, chef and co-owner of Zuni Café in San Francisco since 1987. A sister Dame d'Escoffier, Rogers passed away Monday at Berkeley's Alta Bates Hospital after trying to overcome cancer for at least two years.
Rogers won James Beard Awards for Outstanding Restaurant as well as Cookbook of the Year in 2003 and Outstanding Chef in 2004. Her roast chicken for two is a destination entrée.
So now Sonoma's "Bachelor" Ben Flajnik, 31, co-owner of Envolve Winery with Mike Benziger and Danny Fay, and mama Kris Kardashian Jenner, 58, seem more "envolved." As aired last Tuesday evening, NBC's "Access Hollywood" program showed film of them in Mexico together, despite Kardashian's ear-to-ear grin while saying she isn't dating anyone. The current issue of US Weekly features them (separate photos) on its cover, referring to him as "bad boy Ben Flajnik." Oh my.
Back home in River City, an energized Sheana Davis of The Epicurean Connection, for whom another successful fundraiser helped with her medical expenses, is partnering with Bill Foss, new owner of the "new" Kenwood Restaurant, Sausalito's Fish and Two X Seafood Company, in a Penngrove venture.
According to Davis, the refurbished building will be called the Penngrove Hatchery, which will be owned and managed by Foss, Kenny Belov, and Davis. Davis will "host the cheese shop," and Foss will manage the building and restaurant. Davis says "The creamery and the bakery will be operated by someone else," and she will run wholesale and retail distribution of regional cheeses.
The whole concept seems to follow in the successful patterns of Cowgirl Creamery's operation in Pt. Reyes Station, The Shed in Healdsburg, and The Barlow in Sebastopol. Cowgirl Creamery and The Barlow both repurposed and added onto old buildings for trendy, convenient, easy-to-taste-and-shop ethical food venues.
ABC News and several other news outlets cheerfully referred to "Black Friday Eve." Didn't that used to be called "Thanksgiving?"
Thanksgiving Thursday's San Francisco Chronicle enveloped three (3) pounds of printed ads. Yes, I weighed them. Did anyone look at all those former trees?
Shopping as a competitive contact sport apparently supplants time dining and sharing with family, and seems to have spread from the United States to Great Britain.
WalMart ordered its 350 Asda supermarkets around Britain to offer discounts for Black Friday, some stores of which were wiped out of tablets (not writing) and televisions early in the morning. One British analyst, Bryan Roberts with Kantar Retail, said that at an Asda store in Wembley "an altercation between two customers over a television gave it an air of American authenticity." Love the British humour.
Fat Pilgrim, Craig Miller's delightful outpost in the late artist Irma Wallem's onetime Jackpot Gas Station on lower Broadway next to Presentation School, now offers lots of local food products. You can pick up girl & the fig salts and chutneys, Bob Rice's Breakaway Picante Sauce, Shiso Szechwan Sauce, Sola Bee honey from Sonoma County wildflowers, and Bonnie Tempesta's Boncora biscotti, to say nothing of Fat Pilgrim's own preserves, mustards, olive oil and Balsamic vinegar. Sonoma Embroidery produces Fat Pilgrim hats, and you can also stuff a stocking with "Praise the Lard" T-shirts. 20820 Broadway, Sonoma. 721-1287. fatpilgrim.com.
Miller and his partner, Tim Farfan, also own Harvest on the corner of West Napa and First Street West, and the Sonoma Hotel, which houses the girl & the fig. Miller also co-chairs tonight's Wall to Wall art auction at Sonoma Valley Museum of Art with Martha Rosenblatt.

A run on Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce? That is if you don't get runs from it. We are talking about the grainy red hot sauce made of chili peppers that is a staple on many ethnic restaurant tables and comes in a plastic bottle with a green plastic squirtable lid. For some people, it seems almost as if the food supplements the taste of the hot sauce, instead of the other way around.
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled last week that Huy Fong Foods has to stop making the sauce immediately because the company didn't do enough to prevent the smells and irritation to noses and throats of the plant's neighbors.
Meanwhile, Huy Fong claims to have enough chiles already roasted to make next year's sauce supply.
Chocolatier Betty Kelly of Wine Country Chocolates has a new salty chocolate "bark" that is divine, addictive, and non-GMO. Get yours either in her El Paseo tasting shop or at her chocolate kitchen in Glen Ellen's Jack London Village right on Arnold Drive. She actually makes Scharffenberger's chocolates for their shops as well.
Lisa Leeb, executive director of Sonoma Overnight Support, one of the original "SOS's" in Sonoma, reports that proceeds from See's Candy sales at Sonoma Market go to this important service that provides folks with emergency overnight lodging. Do indulge, at least for a gift. See's Candy is also available at Sonoma Valley Hospital.
Valerie Arelt performed her art at Sonoma Country Antiques' "Festival Floral Arrangements Benefit" last Thursday to help our Sonoma School Garden Project. Arelt is an internationally renowned floral designer who once a year donates her humor, performance and flower arranging skills to a local nonprofit, this year to the Sonoma School Garden Project through the Sonoma Valley Education Foundation.
The crowd of interested and powerful women (and a few brave men) packed Sonoma Country Antiques' barn. Areldt auctioned off the arrangements made during the demonstration and brought in about $2,600 from the auction alone.
As guests proceeded from the barn to the elegant English antiques emporium, Thomas Patrick poured hot tea, and then everyone was greeted inside by Joanne and Justine Filipello of Wild Thyme Events who provided crustless cucumber sandwiches, salmon triangles, deviled eggs and tables full of bite-sized desserts.
Sonoma Raceway gave more than 7,300 pounds of non-perishable foods to food banks, including FISH and the Napa Valley Food Bank from its 13th annual Thanksgiving Food Drive. Speedway Children's Charities gave out a total of $300,000 this week, including $2,500 to our Sonoma School Garden Project through the Education Foundation. The Raceway is in the process of donating 90 fruit trees to our schools, in partnership with UPS and the Arbor Society. Many, many thanks.
Christopher Sawyer, sommelier at Carneros Bistro & Wine Bar at The Lodge at Sonoma, continues his free wine education series every Tuesday and Thursday with holiday white wines, Sharon Cohn's Breathless sparkling wine, festive dessert wines, Christmas wine movies, and wines from Gloria Ferrer and Domaine Carneros, and other events such as cookie decorating with Santa Claus Saturdy, Dec. 9, and Presentation School carolers performing in the hotel lobby on Sunday, Dec. 17. For more information and dates, call 935-6600.
Of Swedish origin herself, Sonoma Valley Museum of Art Executive Director Kate Eilertsen reports that Sweden's Ambassador to the United States, Björn Lyrvall, San Francisco Swedish Consul General Barbro Osher, and Eilertson dined for lunch recently at the girl & the fig. The ambassador visited San Francisco to see the exhibit, "Anders Zorn: Sweden's Master Painter," at the Legion of Honor.
Event reminders: Tonight, the first Friday of December, presents a great Art Walk around Sonoma Plaza. Start at Sunflower Caffé, head south to Ann Hollister's show at Charles Creek Vineyard Tasting Room & Gallery, and then make it to new Bump Cellars on Broadway, to the hot Wall to Wall art sale (and it is wall to wall) at Sonoma Valley Museum of Art, and then work your way down East Napa Street to the Arts Guild and more.
Pets Lifeline's Miracle on 8th Street performs its financial miracles Sunday, Dec. 8, at The Lodge at Sonoma. This important fundraiser for our only pet shelter will include special performances by Stephan Stubbins and Brooke Tansley of Transcendence Theatre's Broadway Under the Stars, and a Pet Holiday Fashion Show of "doggie haute couture."
Dinner will include a spinach salad, sea bass, grass-fed beef tenderloin, or a vegetarian option, and chocolate bread pudding with warm fruit. $125 or VIP for $150 to include entry in an exclusive raffle. 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. 1325 Broadway, Sonoma. Reserve at 996-4577, ext. 110 or petslifeline.org.

Barbara White-Perry will be with her terrific local artwork on display at Hooker House in El Paseo Courtyard on Thursday, Dec. 14, in conjunction with the Mission's Holiday Celebration. Her exhibit closes Friday, Dec. 15, so drop in, buy some of her lovely greeting cards, and enjoy her husband Freddy the Cookie King's chocolate chip cookies and hot apple cider. More details to come.
And finally, TV food seductress Nigella Lawson, whose now former husband, Charles Saatchi, sued two of her former assistants for misusing credit cards, finds herself on public media trial for alleged drug abuse. The assistants said they hid her drug habits and, in exchange, got to charge luxuries for themselves.
Subsequently Saatchi said he believed it, wrote an email calling her Higella, then said he loves her and was just being mean, and that she didn't do drugs. Lawson claimed Tuesday in Isleworth Crown Court in West London that Saatchi is out to ruin her. ABC says it has no plans to cancel "The Taste," a cooking contest show she co-hosts with Anthony Bourdain and Ludo Lefebvre. On Thursday Lawson admitted to some cocaine use.

DEFINITION of 'Bullion'
Gold and silver that is officially recognized as being at least 99.5% pure and is in the form of bars or ingots rather than coins. To create bullion, gold first must be discovered by mining companies and removed from the earth in the form of gold ore, a combination of gold and mineralized rock. The gold is then extracted from the ore with the use of chemicals or extreme heat. The resulting pure bullion is also called "parted bullion." Bullion that contains more than one type of metal is called "unparted bullion."
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Bullion'
The price of gold bullion is influenced by demand from companies that use gold to make jewelry and other products, and by perceptions of the overall economy (for example, gold becomes more popular as an investment during times of economic instability).
Central banks and investors who hold gold typically do so in the form of bullion, but it is expensive to store and insure. Bullion is traded in the bullion market, which is primarily an OTC market open 24 hours a day. Trade volume in the bullion market is high, and most transactions are completed electronically or by phone.

FORT MYERS, Fl, - It was a picture perfect day for the 14th Annual Southwest Florida Reading Festival. More than 18-thousand people walked through Centennial Park and the Harborside Event Center to buy books, meet their favorite authors, and celebrate reading!
From the page, to the canvas, to the screen, the 14th Annual Southwest Florida Reading Festival brought words and illustrations to life!
Thousands of books, 80 vendors and 25 award winning authors came through Fort Myers. Children's book author Tedd Arnold was one of the favorites, creating a line of readers anxious to get his autograph.
"What really gets me excited is when I do see them interested in reading and I just hope that one of my silly books encourages them to pick up another book," Arnold says.
"To get up and say, 'I wanna go to a reading festival,' was pretty exciting for me, I always encourage that. It's what we do before we go to bed every night and she likes to draw and pretend she's illustrator. Last night she drew a horse before she went to bed," says parent, Mary Franklin.
Organizers say the festival has grown every year and they hope they're sending the message that reading creates a healthier community.
"People are better educated therefore they are more upwardly mobile, there's less crime... this is what it's all about we want everybody to know that it's important that lee county embraces is it and that the library system supports it," says Margie Byers.

Looking for cheap($10 or less with tax) Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks in the D.C. proper area
- blackbookali Jul 13, 2012 01:45 PM
Hey guys,
So i have been on a hunt to find great food, worth of this board for the astronomically low price of $7 a meal - including tax. I realize that this is difficult to say the least, especially dinner but I'm finding that it is possible. It may seem played out, but I am looking for some of the more "obvious" region's foods like crab cakes. Also, Im looking for a place where you can sit - so some ambience is nice, total dives/eat it in your car are out.
Geez, today I had a small cheeseburger and fries (water to drink) at 5 Guys and it was over $7!
Red Hot and Blue has $5 specials on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, I think burgers, pulled pork and chicken wings respectively. The $5 Monday burger at Glory Days has gone up but is still less than $6. Flippin' Pizza has two slices and a drink for $6 tax included. You can still get a frozen yogurt (lots of places) for about $4. Hong Kong Palace had $5.95 lunch specials, but they've gone up to $6.95.
I don't think you can buy a decent crab cake for under $10.
I am not sure what 'DC proper area.' means. DC proper is DC only, and DC area is the whole DC area, including the Maryland and Virginia suburbs. And I am not sure if you are asking for dinner only.
You can get a bagel with cream cheese and lox (and tomato, onion and capers) plus a cup of coffee for about $5 at the deli next to Ollie's on 12th st. between Penn. and E. I would not say it has great ambience, but it's not a dive either.
Hmm, going for under $10, though not regional foods....all of these have nice seating:
breakfast or lunch at G Street Foods,
lunch specials at Shanghai Tea House (Glover Park),
lunch special at BGR,
a couple tacos at Pico Taco,
BonMi downtown
SunDevich in Shaw
lunch special at Pete's Apizza in Columbia Heights (two slices and a drink or one slice, a salad and a drink)
re: hamster
There are only 2 sandwiches at Sundevich that are $9 and with tax puts you just a hair under $10 - and both are vegetarian.
This topic was covered pretty well here:
I really don't think there is much for "regional" food for DC except crab cakes and hot half smokes (you could throw in a few more if you included Baltimore - pit beef, coddies, etc...). Can't really help with either as I don't eat seafood and (still) haven't had a hot half smoke, but apparently Eastern Market does a good, cheap one.
re: donaldbabb
meh, that list is just a compilation of places that are cheaper than normal for DC, and I would contend that most do not fit OPs request.
re: parjlarsson
Is that a local grocer?
Perhaps you have a ringer in mind when somebody calls the a fools errand, but except for an occasional super special or perhaps one off the buffets out in the suburbs this is a silly quest.
A couple of places that wear their "dive" status as badges of honor so that it becomes their ambiance might be able to put out a breakfast for you, think: Tune Inn, Market Lunch, Steak and Egg Kitchen.
You migh be able to find a buffet in the suburbs that sling Indian, Chinese, or other fare for unde $10.
As for "regional" fare for under $10 I think you a stuck with half-smoke from Ben's our Eastern market, neither meeting you ambiance requirement. As for a crab cake - if you find one in the target price range please keep I to yourself. It will not be make with local crab nor likely even Blue Crab, and I would guess that is would not be of a high enough quality to even be worth eating.
re: drewpbalzac
Lunch buffets are rarely less than $10 here in the 'burbs. For $6-7 plus a soft drink (usually about $2.50 these days) and tax, you get a sandwich or burger or a Chinese lunch special.
I used to be the king of the $5 lunch. Now my target is the $7 (all inclusive) lunch which is pretty hard to do. And no, my retirement pension hasn't gone up by 40%. What gives them the right????? ;)
re: Bood
I disagree on both counts.
I think they serve small, bland tacos that are not cheap (I spent nearly $20 and left hungry). You could get two tiny sopes (which are probably their best item) - as long as they are not carne asade - and satisfy OPs request. But he would still be real hungry.
Tortilla Cafe and Seventh Hill in Eastern Market can do you for under $10, but I think the latter is closed for renovation.
Steak & Egg Kitchen and Lincoln House Waffle Shop still do solid cheap breakfasts.
Here are some of my favorites:
Polori with pickled tamarind sauce, Rita's, Georgia Avenue, DC
Papusas de loroco, El Don, 14th and Webster, DC
Ginger Salad, Myanmar, Falls Church, VA
Saltenas, Luzmilla's, Falls Church, VA
Floating Market Noodle Soup, Nava Thai, Wheaton, MD
Quarter dark spicy, Just Jerk, Lanham, MD
Wontons in Red Hot Sauce, Joe's Noodle House, Rockville, MD
K Street Cafe and Bagel http://www.menupix.com/dc/restaurants.... The egg & cheese on a bagel is good, as is the whitefish salad. They have seating.
Zenebech Injera is $10+ tax for the veggie sampler but it's 2-3 meals.
Red Toque Cafe in Shaw for most sandwich + drink combos
Amsterdam falafelshop if you skip the fries
1/4 chicken & side at El Pollo Rico in Arlington
ma la cold noodle appetizer at Great Wall Szechuan (it's enough for a meal)
pupusas at Judy Restaurant (we ordered 3 between 2 people and were FULL--they come with curtido and chips & salsa).

Photos and Description of this 2 bedroom holiday condo in Cuchara
Condo, 2 Bedrooms + Loft + Den, 3 Baths (Sleeps 4-8)
How long has it been since you were able to look up at the stars and actually see the Milky Way? Our condo is away from town, in the high mountain valley south of Cuchara, and you won't believe the views! Sunrise in the morning over the Spanish Peaks, sunsets in the evening over San Isabel National Forest, and the stars at night! Wildlife roam the mountains. You may see deer, elk, big horn sheep, black bear, mountain lions, foxes, bobcats, coyotes, and beavers. If relaxing isn't your thing, then enjoy the fishing, hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, golf at Grandote Peaks…all yours!
Cuchara, just two miles away, is home to the famous Dog Bar. (Yes, people do take their dogs there!) And the excellent Timbers restaurant, as fine as any in the area.
And if that isn't enough to entice you, take Highway 12 (Highway of Legends) south to Trinidad, past Monument and North lakes for unbelievable scenery. Or go north on the highway to La Veta, where you will find unique treasures from the artists who reside there. And the bakery in La Veta is the best!
Don't forget the Great Sand Dunes Monument, about an hour away. And the Uptop Ghost Town on Old La Veta Pass gives you a glimpse into early Colorado. Also, San Luis is the oldest town in Colorado, and is just southwest of Cuchara.
We fell in love with this area when we visited a year ago, and found ourselves buying a condo. We love it, but aren't totally retired yet so can't be there full time. So we are sharing it with you and know that you will enjoy it! Our condo is an end unit, so it is very quiet and has views from `windows on three sides.
Spend summer evenings on the deck enjoying the cool air, or winter evenings inside by the fireplace just relaxing!
Three full baths ensure lots of privacy! Kitchen has been remodeled to include deep sink and full-size dishwasher. Wood flooring gives a beautiful warmth to our home. New refrigerator with icemaker is great!
One bedroom with twin beds, one bedroom with a queen bed. Pull-out sofa in the loft, pull-out sofa on the main floor. There are two very nice inflatable twin beds available (inflate immediately). Come enjoy!
- Suitability:
- Long-term Renters Welcome
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets considered
- wheelchair inaccessible
About Barbara Smallwood
We are Okies and fell in love with the Rockies. It is close enough to use we can drive it in one day - and escape the heat in the summer and enjoy the snow in the winter!
Barbara Smallwood purchased this condo in 2012
Why Barbara Smallwood chose Cuchara
We love the coziness of the condo, the deck where we can enjoy coffee and the sunrise, or maybe a glass of wine and the sunset. The trees surround us, yet we can view the snow-capped mountains. This is an undiscovered area - we found it when my sister built a retirement home a few miles away.
What makes this condo unique
The deck, the coziness of the condo, the wood walls - all have the feel of a cabin in the woods. The loft is above the dining/kitchen area, and the living area is then open, giving the condo a very spacious feeling.

Digital Strategy and Architecture
What is digitization?
It can take many forms. Here are a few types of digitization of business and examples:
|Products that add digital components
|Sports equipment with sensors for immediate feedback
|Products sold through digital channels
|Conde Nast magazines
|"Solutions" that are assembled and delivered in digital channels
|USAA Insurance
|Products that are entirely digital
|Apple iTunes, eSurance, PayPal, Google
|Companies monetizing their data
|Healthcare clinical data
The really interesting thing about digitization that you can see from some of the examples above is that it enables new competition to enter your space and competitors to leap industry boundaries. The concept of "barriers to entry" itself is eroding.
The Impact of Digitization on IT
Some interesting facts from MIT CISR's research with Boards of Directors on digitization jumped out at me:
- Board members estimate that 32% of company's revenues are under threat from digital disruption. This is a really stunning number when you think about it.
- Half of Board members believe that their board's ability to oversee the strategic use of IT is "less than effective."
- 26% of Boards hired consultants to evaluate major projects or the IT unit.
- 60% of Boards want to spend more time on digital issues next year.
The Impact of Digitization for Architects?
It boils down to two things:
- Architects need to deliver a digital platform to enable business agility in a time of increasing competition and disruption. This includes standardization around business processes, data, and the platform.
- Architects need to get more proactive in the strategy process for their organizations both in terms of the platforms and architecture and in terms of a general understanding of the challenges and opportunities that arise from digital disruption.
For more on enterprise data architecture, best practices and reference architectures see the eBook: Think "Data First" to Drive Business Value
Architects: How Will You Stay Relevant?
We are way past the point where the architecture needs to be aligned with business goals and value delivery. That is necessary but no longer sufficient. We are now at the point where architecture needs to be central to the creation of an organization's strategy process. Not to get hyperbolic, but anything less is risky for your career.
The Challenge: Digitization
I just came back from the MIT Center for Information Systems Research (CISR) research forum. One of the leading topics was digitization and how every business is becoming digitized. To those in the High Tech industry, this may be an "of course" topic, but to most other industries it is a wrenching change. Even those who are comfortable with the idea of digitization risk taking this too lightly.
The fact is that most products and services will have a digital component to them in the near future and an increasing number of products and services will be entirely digital. The fact is that digitization and the technologies that enable it are going to bring about a period of increased disruption. This will mean:
- New competitors. Examples: autonomous cars, sports equipment with embedded sensors that provide feedback, personal assistant fully capable of making decisions and taking action. Gartner is predicting that almost everything over $100 will have a sensor by the turn of the decade.
- New competitors jumping across industry boundaries. Examples: Apple iTunes and Google cars to name a few.
Why Architects Are Important
Architects are in a unique position to not only understand the technology trends driving this disruption, but they also to know how to leverage these trends to drive business value within their organizations. The very best architects are going to be those who are deeply involved in defining the organization strategy, not just figuring out how to implement it.
Evidence of Change
Many architects and CIOs currently report very little interest from upper management in IT. That is about to change, and quickly. At the MIT CISR forum I attended last week, they presented research around this area that is very telling:
- Half of Board of Directors members believe that their board's ability to oversee the strategic use of IT is "less than effective."
- 26% of Boards hired consultants to evaluate major projects or the IT unit.
- 60% of Boards want to spend more time on digital issues next year.
- Board members estimate that 32% of their company's revenues are under threat from digital disruption.
That last bullet is the really interesting piece of research. 32% is a huge impact.
The Role of Data in Digitization
Digitization by its very nature is all about data. The winners in this space will be those that can manage and deliver relevant data the quickest. The question for architects is this: Do you have the architecture and agility to take advantage of the coming disruptions and opportunities? Are you actively advising your organization on how to leverage them? As we have documented in many previous blogs, many organizations are poorly positioned to manage their data as a discoverable and easily sharable asset. This will essential for:
- Delivering business initiatives and showing value faster (agility).
- Enabling business self-service so that IT is not the bottleneck in new analyses and decisions.
All of this requires new thinking around enterprise data architecture. For fresh thinking on this subject see Thinking "Data First" to Drive Business Value.
Building a Data Foundation for Execution
This got me thinking: What is the biggest bottleneck in the delivery of business value today? I know I look at things from a data perspective, but data is the biggest bottleneck. Consider this prediction from Gartner:
"Gartner predicts organizations will spend one-third more on app integration in 2016 than they did in 2013. What's more, by 2018, more than half the cost of implementing new large systems will be spent on integration. "
When we talk about application integration, we're talking about moving data, synchronizing data, cleansing, data, transforming data, testing data. The question for architects and senior management is this: Do you have the Data Foundation for Execution you need to drive the business results you require to compete? The answer, unfortunately, for most companies is; No.
All too often data management is an add-on to larger application-based projects. The result is unconnected and non-interoperable islands of data across the organization. That simply is not going to work in the coming competitive environment. Here are a couple of quick examples:
- Many companies are looking to compete on their use of analytics. That requires collecting, managing, and analyzing data from multiple internal and external sources.
- Many companies are focusing on a better customer experience to drive their business. This again requires data from many internal sources, plus social, mobile and location-based data to be effective.
When I talk to architects about the business risks of not having a shared data architecture, and common tools and practices for enterprise data management, they "get" the problem. So why aren't they addressing it? The issue is that they find that they are only funded to do the project they are working on and are dealing with very demanding timeframe requirements. They have no funding or mandate to solve the larger enterprise data management problem, which is getting more complex and brittle with each new un-connected project or initiative that is added to the pile.
Studies such as "The Data Directive" by The Economist show that organizations that actively manage their data are more successful. But, if that is the desired future state, how do you get there?
Changing an organization to look at data as the fuel that drives strategy takes hard work and leadership. It also takes a strong enterprise data architecture vision and strategy. For fresh thinking on the subject of building a data foundation for execution, see "Think Data-First to Drive Business Value" from Informatica.

Does Your Organization Have the Data Architecture to Succeed?
Adrian gathered experts and built workgroups to dig into the issue and do root cause analysis. The workgroups came back with some pretty surprising results.
- Most people expected that "incorrect data" (missing, out of date, incomplete, or wrong data) would be the main problem. What they found was that this was only #5 on the list of issues.
- The #1 issue was "Too much data." People working with the data could not find the data they needed because there was too much data available, and it was hard to figure out which was the data they needed.
- The #2 issue was that people did not know the meaning of data. And because people had different interpretations of the data, the often produced analyses with conflicting results. For example, "claims paid date" might mean the date the claim was approved, the date the check was cut or the date the check cleared. These different interpretations resulted in significantly different numbers.
- In third place was the difficulty in accessing the data. Their environment was a forest of interfaces, access methods and security policies. Some were documented and some not.
In one of the workgroups, a senior manager put the problem in a larger business context;
"Not being able to leverage the data correctly allows competitors to break ground in new areas before we do. Our data in my opinion is the 'MOST' important element for our organization."
What started as a relatively straightforward data quality project became a more comprehensive enterprise data management initiative that could literally change the entire organization. By the project's end, Adrian found himself leading the data strategy of the organization.
This kind of story is happening with increasing frequency across all industries as all businesses become more digital, the quantity and complexity of data grows, and the opportunities to offer differentiated services based on data grow. We are entering an era of data-fueled organizations where the competitive advantage will go to those who use their data ecosystem better than their competitors.
Gartner is predicting that we are entering an era of increased technology disruption. Organizations that focus on data as their competitive edge will have the advantage. It has become clear that a strong enterprise data architecture is central to the strategy of any industry-leading organization.
For more future-thinking on the subject of enterprise data management and data architecure see Think 'Data First" to Drive Business Value
Why Enterprise Architects Need to Think About Data First
"Enterprise Architecture needs to be the forward, business facing component of IT. Architects need to create a regular structure for IT based on the service and product line functions/capabilities. They need to be connected to their business counterparts. They need to be so tied to the product and service road map that they can tie changes directly to the IT roadmap. Often times, I like to pair a Chief Business Strategist with a Chief Enterprise Architect".
To get there, Enterprise Architects are going to have to think differently about enterprise architecture. Specifically, they need think "data first" to break through the productivity barrier and deliver business value in the time frame that business requires it.
IT is Not Meeting the Needs of the Business
A study by McKinsey and Company has found that IT is not delivering in the time frame that business requires. Even worse, the performance ratings have been dropping over the past three years. And even worse than that, 20% of the survey respondents are calling for a change in IT leadership.
Our talks with CIOs and Enterprise Architects tell us that the ability to access, manage and deliver data on a timely basis is the biggest bottleneck in the process of delivering business initiatives. Gartner predicts that by 2018, more than half the cost of implementing new large systems will be spent on integration.
The Causes: It's Only Going to Get Worse
Data needs to be easily discoverable and sharable across multiple uses. Today's application-centric architectures do not provide that flexibility. This means any new business initiative is going to be slowed by issues relating to finding, accessing, and managing data. Some of the causes of problems will include:
- Data Silos: Decades of applications-focused architecture have left us with unconnected "silos of data."
- Lack of Data Management Standards: The fact is that most organizations do not manage data as a single system. This means that they are dealing with a classic "spaghetti diagram" of data integration and data management technologies that are difficult to manage and change.
- Growth of Data Complexity: There is a coming explosion of data complexity: partner data, social data, mobile data, big data, Internet of Things data.
- Growth of Data Users: There is also a coming explosion of new data users, who will be looking to self-service.
- Increasing Technology Disruption: Gartner predicts that we are entering a period of increased technology disruption.
Looking forward, organizations are increasingly running on the same few enterprise applications and those applications are rapidly commoditizing. The point is that there is little competitive differentiation to be had from applications. The only meaningful and sustainable competitive differentiation will come from your data and how you use it.
Recommendations for Enterprise Architects
- Think "data first" to accelerate business value delivery and to drive data as your competitive advantage. Designing data as a sharable resource will dramatically accelerate your organization's ability to produce useful insights and deliver business initiatives.
- Think about enterprise data management as a single system. It should not be a series of one-off, custom, "works of art." You will reduce complexity, save money, and most importantly speed the delivery of business initiatives.
- Design your data architecture for speed first. Do not buy into the belief that you must accept trade-offs between speed, cost, or quality. It can be done, but you have to design your enterprise data architecture to accomplish that goal from the start.
- Design to know everything about your data. Specifically, gather and carefully manage all relevant metadata. It will speed up data discovery, reduce errors, and provide critical business context. A full compliment of business and technical metadata will enable recommendation #5.
- Design for machine-learning and automation. Your data platform should be able to automate routine tasks and intelligently accelerate more complex tasks with intelligent recommendations. This is the only way you are going to be able to meet the demands of the business and deal with the growing data complexity and technology disruptions.
Technology disruption will bring challenges and opportunities. For more on this subject, see the Informatica eBook, Think 'Data First' to Drive Business Value.
Enterprise Architects as Strategists
The conversation at the Gartner Enterprise Architecture Summit was very interesting last week. They central them for years had been idea of closely linking enterprise architecture with the goals and strategy. This year, Gartner added another layer to that conversation. They are now actively promoting the idea of enterprise architects as strategists.
The reason why is simple. The next wave of change is coming and it will significantly disrupt everybody. Even worse, your new competitors may be coming from other industries.
Enterprise architects are in a position to take a leading role within the strategy process. This is because they are the people who best understand both business strategy and technology trends.
Some of the key ideas discussed included:
- The boundaries between physical and digital products will blur
- Every organization will need a technology strategy to survive
- Gartner predicts that by 2017: 60% of the Global 1,000 will execute on at least one revolutionary and currently unimaginable business transformation effort.
- The change is being driven by trends such as mobile, social, the connectedness of everything, cloud/hybrid, software-defined everything, smart machines, and 3D printing.
I agree with all of this. My view is that this means that it is time for enterprise architects to think very differently about architecture. Enterprise applications will come and go. They are rapidly being commoditized in any case. They need to think like strategists; in terms of market differentiation. And nothing will differentiate an organization more than their data. Example: Google autonomous cars. Google is jumping across industry boundaries to compete in a new market with data as their primary differentiator. There will be many others.
Thinking data-first
Years of thinking of architecture from an application-first or business process-first perspective have left us with silos of data and the classic 'spaghetti diagram" of data architecture. This is slowing down business initiative delivery precisely at the time organizations need to accelerate and make data their strategic weapon. It is time to think data-first when it comes to enterprise architecture.
You will be seeing more from Informatica on this subject over the coming weeks and months.
Take a minute to comment on this article. Your thoughts on how we should go about changing to a data-first perspective, both pro and con are welcomed.
Also, remember that Informatica is running a contest to design the data architecture of the year 2020. Full details are here.
Announcing the Informatica Architect's Challenge
What would the ideal data architecture of the year 2020 look like?
Informatica want's to know how YOU would answer that question. For this reason, we've created the Informatica Architect's Challenge, a chance for YOU to share how you would approach enterprise data architecture differently. Send us your proposal and you could win 100 iPad Minis for the school of your choice.
There are a lot of challenges to think about here, but let's start with these:
- Organizations are requiring dramatically faster delivery of business initiatives and are unhappy with the current performance of IT. Think this is "marketing hyperbole?" See the McKinsey survey.
- Data in most organizations is highly fragmented and scattered across dozens or hundreds of different systems. Simply finding and prepping data is becoming the majority of the work in any IT project.
- The problem is only going to get worse as cloud, 3rd party data, social, mobile, big data, and the Internet of Things dramatically increase the complexity of enterprise data environments.
Data is the one thing that uniquely differentiates your organization from its competitors. The question is: How you are going to architect to deliver the data to fuel your future business success? How will you manage the challenges of increasing complexity while delivering with the speed your organization requires?
It's a chance make a positive contribution for education, while at the same time gaining some professional visibility for yourself as a thought leader. We can't wait to see what you'll create!

Architects: 8 Great Reasons To Be At Informatica World 2014
For years, corporations have tried to solve business problems by "throwing new enterprise applications at them." This strategy has created 'silos of data' that are attached to these applications and databases. As a result, it is now increasingly difficult to find, access and use the correct data for new projects.
Data fragmentation leads to slow project delivery and "shadow IT." Without a change in enterprise data strategy, is it unlikely this problem will improve. On the contrary, the growth of cloud applications and platforms, mobile applications, NoSQL, and the "Internet of Things" create increasing urgency. Unless a new approach to enterprise data management is taken, the house of cards is going to crumble.
I seriously doubt that this is a surprise to most of you. The question is, "What should we do about it?" The Informatica World 2014 event is a perfect place to find answers. Here are eight benefits architects will enjoy at Informatica World 2014:
- A dedicated track of breakout sessions for architects. This track explores reference architectures, design patterns, best practices and real-world examples for building and sustaining your next-generation information architecture. The track will begin with a keynote on the broader issues of enterprise data architecture. It will also include panel of architects from leading companies.
- Inspiration to participate in defining the enterprise data architecture of the future. (I can't spoil it by divulging the details here, but I promise that it will be interesting and worth your while!)
- New insights on how to manage information for the data-centric enterprise. These will expand your thinking about data architecture and platforms.
- Chances to network with architect peers.
- A Hands-on Lab, were you can talk to Informatica experts about their products and solutions.
- Updates on what Informatica is doing to bring business subject matter experts in as full partners in the co-development of data-related projects.

I love this washer. It is quiet, doesn't shake my whole house, and cleans the clothes wonderfully. The reversable doors were the deciding factor in choosing this particular model and it was certainly worth it. I also got the matching dryer. They make a beautiful pair. The only thing better would be someone to do the laundty.

I was very excited to have my washer delivered! i loved the feature inside the drum every time you open the door (while in the store) it smelled fresh! and that all openings were just a push away. Well when my washer came it never smelled fresh when I opened it. A few days later a tech from hhgreg came out to switch my doors around on the washer and dryer and I asked him if water was supposed to sit in the lip of the door and that it smelled like old water after doing a load of laundry. He told me that was common and I should leave the door open after each load to let it dry. That didn't seem right to me and over the last few months I have asked everyone i know if there front loader does that and theirs doesn't. Also occasionally the dispenser where the laundry detergent and fabric softener go are completely filled with water., and the door sometimes leaks the water that is in the lip of the door. The only reason I would recommend this product at this point is because when I called Electrolux about the problems I am having they handled it very well. I am waiting on a replacement right now. If the new washer has the same problems then I will def switch brands. So I've got my fingers crossed that this was just as isolated problem.

Comments about Electrolux Titanium Front Load Washer:
I love this appliance. There are so many options one can select with each wash load. And I really like that it is such a large capacity washer and can handle almost anything. Things that I used to take to the laundromat I can now do at home. I also like the small load feature as I do the grandkids laundry if they are here for an overnight. I can then send home their clothing all fresh and clean. I also like the fact that the wash basin is lighted, at least for a short time, so that you can see what you are doing. I have only used the washer cleaner once so far and I like that option also. Thanks for building such a good appliance. I did not invest in the cabinetry for below the washer and I do think that I should have. I think I will do so shortly as the cabinet makes the washer easier to use at closer to eye level.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I'm in love with my new washer and dryer
By I love my new washer and dryer
I absolutely love my new washer and dryer. It has cut my laundry time in half if not more. It has such great capacity and I love all the selections. My jeans have never looked better and my sheets finally come out virtually unwrinkled. My only recommendation is that you put the doors on the opposite side of each other for easier transfer to the dryer and so they don't keep hitting eachother. Otherwise I am in seventh heaven when I go to do the laundry now.
Very Happy So Far
By John
We've had our washer for a couple of weeks and have nothing but praises. We are anxious to continue use and try the new features it has to offer.
By Laurie
I love the washer and all of the features. My only issue is closing the door. It tseems to just pop back open if not closed in the exact right spot.
4.3 cubic foot washer
By Paulette
Great machine, the clothes are very clean and dry fast. The weight of the machine keeps it from becoming unbalanced which is a plus. I would buy another in a heartbeat.
Best Washing Machine Eva
By Beth
I am so happy we purchased this washer. I run a house with teenagers that play sports and their clothes and uniforms always need a good cleaning. This washer can handle it and uses enough water but is still eco friendly. The drum size is big and can take a large load of clothes and is done washing in 42 minutes. The washing machine is located on our second floor, so spin out noise and vibration have always been a concern. I can now do laundry at night, or whenever it works for me. It's awesome and we are really pleased with our purchase.
fabulous machine
By Didi
I love my new washer, it's so quiet. You have confidence that the washer won't leak as it tumbles through the cycle, since you hear the door lock and seal as it starts working. No shimmying during rinse cycle, due to the stable technology.The appliance always leaves a soft aroma in the air. Clothes are gently tumbled clean and without excess water left in items to make the dryer work harder. Yes, I do recommend Electrolux , I did a lot of research before purchasing. My theory is buy once, not twice. Get the best and you aren't stuck with replacing a bad purchase sooner than later. Buy quality ahead of cheap.
Enjoying it
By ealdora
So far I am enjoying the washer. I had heard mixed reviews of front load washers but with the redesign of our laundry room we had no choice. I chose Electrolux because I liked their cabinet design and lack of bulk for the size. i have not be disappointed. I have washed a king size comforter no problem. I do wipe down the rubber gasket after each wash and leave the door open. So far no smell or odor on clothing. I had to really cut back on the amount of laundry soap I was using. We have noticed how much cleaner our clothing seems to be. I am a massage therapist and love the sanitize option for my business laundry. i can also do 4 sets of twin sheets at a time which cuts back on the number of loads I do a week.
By Joan
I was looking to replace my washer. Went to my local appliance store, told them what I needed. They recommended the Electrolux IQ-Touch. I needed to be able to change the door to open on the other side and Electrolux had that option. I've had my washer for about 5 months. The wash cycles are efficient and I love the way the washer selects the water temp, spin cycle and soil cleaning automatically, based on what type of wash cycle is selected.
By Cindy
I really like this w/d set! So many choices. Really like the steam option, so handy if you don't remove items from the dryer when it stops. Really like the sanitizing option also. Only one thing it doesn't do is to just put through a longer spin if the wash is still a little too wet. Of course the height is great...not back breaking...so easy to access with nice large tumblers.

Vacuum Cleaner Bags
Vacuum cleaning systems that offer the best cleaning ability – is that what you are seeking? It's also likely that you believe that cleaning ability is related to power or suction. Actually, it's not. While there's no single factor that determines the cleaning ability of the vacuum cleaner you use, understanding how vacuums work and how you can help maintain your vacuum cleaner to perform its best is important. Changing your vacuum cleaner bag is an important step in maintaining the efficiency of your vacuum cleaner. While most vacuum cleaners come with an indicator to help you determine when your cleaner's dust bag needs to be changed, you can perform a check yourself to see if it is over 50% full as that's when you need to replace it. Don't wait until the dust bag in your vacuum cleaner is completely full as it can reduce the suction and cleaning capacity of your vacuum cleaning system. If you use your vacuum cleaner frequently, it is recommended that you change vacuum cleaner bags once a month, especially if you are cleaning a large area over 2000 square feet or if your pet sheds a lot.
What you need the most when you are considering vacuum cleaner bag replacement is a bag that is well-matched with the model of your vacuum cleaning system. You can find original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or replacement type bags online. While both serve the purpose, that is enhancing the cleaning capacity of your vacuum cleaning system and providing you an easy way to get rid of all the dirt that you vacuum cleaner collects, you can choose one according to your budget and cleaning needs. At GoVacuum, we have got a vast range of vacuum cleaner bags from the biggest and the best brands around. You'll find them here at great prices and shipping offers. We are the vacuum cleaning system experts and can recommend the right bag for your existing system all while staying within your budget.

Two individuals associated with Christmas-time thefts in the Pleasureville area were indicted by the Henry County Grand Jury last week.
Michael D. Thurmond, 19, of Pleasureville, and Nora Bishop, 42, of Owenton, were indicted for Dec. 19 burglaries of homes on Pleasureville Road, Chilton Lane and Bethlehem Road, as well as a December burglary on Point Pleasant Road.

A day after they overwhelmingly approved a union, Hussey Fabricated Products workers filed suit against their employer, alleging it unfairly revoked cell phone and smoking privileges at the plant, a union spokesperson said.
Workers at Hussey Fabricated Products voted to unionize Thursday, in a move that unites the Eminence machining plant with its sister factory, Hussey Copper Ltd.
Family Dollar, the national discount retailer based in Charlotte, N.C., will open its Eminence store Mar. 6, a corporate spokesperson said last week.
The 9,100 square-foot-store, located at 63 Depot Ave., will create about five part-time associate jobs and two full-time management positions, he said.
The store is now hiring.
Family Dollar's new Eminence location is part of a corporate strategy aimed at growing the store's customer base, Public Relations Manager Josh Braverman said.
We are a charitable organization who enjoys motorcycling. We want to thank our many sponsors and supporters: Apollo Choppers, Knight School of Welding, REMAX Preferred, X-treme Graphics, Trimble Co. Farm Bureau, Safety-Kleen, Tony Whaley of State Farm Ins., Bedford Stop N Go, L.A. Yount Haying Equipment, Shelby Horse Supply w/ special thanks to Ron Sailer (Popeye), the girls at Hometown Pizza in Eminence (Kelly, Jessica, Leoandria and everyone), the Louisville Cycle Club and the Henry Co. Local.
Brownie appeared apologetic Monday as he circled his small crate at the Kentucky Humane Society in Eminence. The 4-year-old, tri-colored Shepherd mix occasionally stuck his wet nose nose between the chain links, accepting the punishment for a crime he didn't commit alone. Brownie was found unattended at a gas station near New Castle and delivered to the shelter by animal control. There, he awaits adoption.
Brownie is just one example of a growing dog problem that one local council may soon address.
One victim of last week's wind and rain was the historic Drennon Christian Church.
One corner of the church's roof was peeled back in the storm.
Despite the damage, the church did not cancel its Sunday services.
Workers draped a tarp across the hole that tore into the church's aluminum roof. The storm caused more than $17,000 in damages to insulation, rafters and dry walling, according to initial estimates from Homes Plus Construction, the contractor handling repairs.
Growing complaints against skateboarders could prompt New Castle officials to tighten an ordinance addressing public safety.
City Police Chief John Porter said Friday skaters, most of them teens, have been a nuisance at the bank, post office and other sites around the city.
"It's any property they can get," Porter said. "The main problem is they're causing damage to businesses."
In a split vote, the Henry County Planning and Zoning Commission's Board of Adjustments temporarily suspended a conditional use permit, effectively shutting down a local business for 60 days.
The move came at the end of a two-hour meeting in which Board of Adjustment members reviewed the entire conditional use permit — originally granted in June of last year — as well as a list of complaints and violations.
The Eminence City Council Tuesday agreed to forego raises and "put its money where its mouth is."
The council unanimously voted to reject annual salary increases for itself and Mayor Jim Petitt.
Instead, a $159 annual cost of living adjustment for each council member and a more than $753 annual boost for Petitt, will be diverted to help open the city's public swimming pool.

Recovery Audit Reform Bill Calls for Financial Penalties
James Carroll, for HealthLeaders Media, October 31, 2012
In addition, the bill would require a targeted focus on widespread payment errors in postpayment and prepayment audits. It states that the "Secretary shall not approve the conduct of a postpayment or prepayment medical necessity audit by a Recovery Auditor unless such review addresses a widespread payment error rate."
In addition, the bill would require a Recovery Auditor to stop any audit if the applicable payment rate error were no longer widespread. The HHS Secretary sets the error rate at 40% using a statistically significant sampling of claims submitted by hospitals in the Recovery Auditor's jurisdiction. The rate also takes into account claim denials overturned on appeal.
The Secretary would evaluate this rate annually and reduce it as necessary to account for changes in payment error rates to improving billing practices.
The legislation also lays out guidelines for the newly launched prepayment review program. Specifically, it states that the Secretary shall "establish guidelines under which consistent criteria for minimum payment error rates or improper billing practices occasion prepayment review by contractors."
In addition, the Secretary will not approve the conduct of a postpayment of prepayment medical necessity audit by a Medicare administrative contractor (MAC) unless it also meets the aforementioned error rate requirement.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

Physicians are equally troubled as hospitals by the potential ravages of the RAC. Does this law provide protections to physicians, or only to hospitals?

Low ratings, missing plane-porn, a sharp turn to the left of MSNBC, and "Breaking News" banners for events that happened over a century ago. If "Saturday Night Live" spoofed CNN breaking news-ing the sinking of the Titanic, no one would laugh because it would seem over the top. If this is a photo shop, I will update. But other outlets are reporting it as real. And when you consider CNN's behavior over the last year, that is the safest bet.
