The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Survey Shows That Women Believe That A Woman Has a Better Shot at Becoming President Than Any Minority
By Tom Miller
NEW YORK -- American women believe that a member of their own gender has a better chance at winning the 2008 presidential election than any minority reveals a new poll from Woman's Day magazine (womansday.com) and AOL News (news.aol.com).* According to the findings, a majority of women (76%) believe it is somewhat or very likely that a woman could win election, followed by 72% for a minority (African American, Asian or Latino) candidate, 77% for a Jewish candidate, 66% for a non religious candidate, and 64% for an evangelical candidate. Only a slight percentage of those polled believed a homosexual candidate (24%) or a Muslim candidate (14%) could win election. The poll, which surveyed over 1,500 American women, provides insight into the issues and personality traits that matter most to women when selecting the next President.
Tango's Take
While they're probably right. Given the current spate of presidential candidates, there is a better chance of a woman getting elected than a minority. Throw on top of this the success that women candidates have had compared to minority groups worldwide and you get a sound theory. However, what would happen if a similar poll were given to other minority groups? Would a group of homosexuals overrate their chance to win? Would a group of Muslims believe that the rest of the US is conspiring to keep them down? And we're pretty sure that the evangelical set believes that they're candidate would stand a better chance that any woman candidate. Hmm. Armchair, pop psychology, love it.

Look Book Love: Shopbop, On Pointe
Have any of you taken ballet? I have, and what I loved more than learning French terms and delicate moves was wearing those sweet tutus. That's why Shopbop's Look Book, titled On Pointe, warms my heart. Models warm up in soft-colored dresses, pleated blouses, poufy skirts, and ballet flats. Love the looks, then get the looks.

Trends and New Technology in Hospitality for 2014.
By Jamie May
Tuesday, 8th July 2014
The potential of technology knows no bounds;
Mobile devices are proliferating, the data cloud is growing bigger, social networks are reaching into every facet of modern existence, and technology is becoming more autonomous, malleable, and indispensable.
As members of the general leisure industry, hospitality businesses must therefore cater to the early adopters, the tech-savvy, and the novices in one fell swoopand staying ahead of the curve requires an inexhaustible spirit and a knowledge of industry trends.
Here are 6 tech trends to keep in mind in 2014 that follow some similar themes of personalization, integration, and ease of access.
1) Virtual reservations
Travel booking websites are the mainstay of both the casual and frequent traveler; according to a recent SmartBrief survey, 57 percent of travel reservations are made on the Internet.
Hotels are smart to list themselves on such sites: an experiment conducted by Cornell University revealed that a hotel listed with an online travel agency can see substantial increases in offline bookings, a phenomenon known as the billboard effect.
And an astounding 65 percent of same-day hotel reservations are made from a smartphone, suggesting the importance of investing in a mobile-friendly and cloud-based system that can be easily updated in real time.
In the restaurant world, the Open Table website and app has won the heart of both users and restaurant owners by connecting the two through a low-fuss online reservations system.
These services also give businesses the ability to leverage previous purchase habits and preferences in order to design customized messaging that might be more enticing to an individual who prefers a certain service or food itemnot to mention keeping track of your birthday, anniversaries, and other notable dates on which certain consumers might be more amenable to spending money on leisure activities and eating out.
2) In fact, virtual check-in and ordering
Weve all seen the check-in kiosks at the airport; get ready to see more of those at restaurants and hotels around the world. Such kiosks cut down on the lag time between entering an establishment and placing an order or checking in for your room. Marriott recently launched a pilot program that allows guests to check in remotely to 31 of the chains hotels; the hotel sends a message to the guest 24 hours ahead of arrival asking for their check-in time, allowing the hotel to anticipate room readiness needs and the guest to plan their arrival accordingly.
A number of restaurants already use digital menus, hosted on devices like iPads, which provide huge paper savings for establishments that must reprint menus that are constantly being updated.
Futuristic devices like voice recognition or retina scanning in order to check in customers are likely a few years off, but high-end establishments could be installing such capabilities this yearand the wow factor will likely spur further adoption.
3) Travelers with not just one mobile device, but three.
The SmartBrief survey reported that 99 percent of hotel guests travel with at least one mobile deviceand moreover, 45 percent of hotel guests travel with two devices, and 40 percent travel with three or more. This means a number of different things: Wi-Fi access is an important commodity85 percent of travelers think it should be free. In an attempt to draw this younger market, more hotels are offering free Wi-Fi, sometimes applying it to high-value guests like those enrolled in their loyalty program.
Syncing services that allow guests to carry their own entertainment with them are expected to flourish in 2014. And room designers are taking into account the fact that guests want to be able to move around and feel comfortable with their mobile devices through easy-to-reach outlets and ergonomic furniture in each room.
4) Hospitality staff with mobile devices
The use of mobile devices in the hospitality context isnt just limited to consumers. More and more, tablets and laptops are becoming critical on the other side of the check-in desk or register as well. By upgrading the technology system to allow for more mobility, the hospitality team can meet customers at any location.
And by using a management software system that integrates data from throughout the customers visit, businesses can capture guest preferences in order to deliver personalized, high-quality service.
5) High-tech meeting and public spaces
Hotels that cater to the business set are paying particular attention to the increasingly high-tech boardroom. A long table and a projector are no longer enough; hotels are now considering the remote office workspace in their meeting room and convention space design.
Meeting planners are now using apps to request specific items before and during the meeting, from more coffee to temperature changes in the room.
The hotel lobby is also seeing a tech facelift, with communal tables, charging stations, and digital information centers displaying often-requested information like directions, flight information, or local restaurant recommendations.
Instead of waiting in a line, guests are treated to touchscreens and the ability to find whatever theyre looking for quickly and easily.
The productive environment encourages more and more guests to see lobbies as a pleasant place to spend time and get work done in a more social environment.
6) Online reviews
Forward-thinking hospitality businesses recognize that the customer experience doesnt end when the individual steps off the premises. They must do everything they can to ensure repeat customers as well as positive reviews.
A survey reports that 72 percent of consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations; in 2014, review sites like TripAdvisor and Yelp will continue to become more influential as users look for ways to make their world a bit smaller and more personalized.
In the coming year, companies must be ever-more vigilant and active stewards of their online reputations, locating negative reviews swiftly and attempting to mitigate the impact if possible. Often consumers may respond positively to personal outreach after a bad experience, turning a potential lost customer into a repeat customer instead.
Of course, reviews arent always filed neatly into review websites, and companies can also improve their reputation by monitoring relevant comments made via social media channels such as Facebook and Twitter. In 2014, well see more and more hospitality businesses integrating social technology into their strategic operations instead of throwing it to the siloed marketing team.

A week ago, Milan Lucic was a 19-year-old kid with a reputation for hitting hard and taking the odd bad penalty. Yesterday, Canadiens head coach Guy Carbonneau was describing him as the Bruins' best player.
While the Canadiens lead the best-of-seven series 2-1, Boston has taken the momentum from the Canadiens and the swing coincides with Boston coach Claude Julien's decision to put Lucic on the No. 1 line with Marc Savard and Glen Murray for Game 2 of this series.
"Part of it is about balance but it's also about this young man turning into an all-round player," Julien explained. "He's been extremely reliable in both ends and he has a physical presence which that line, to a certain extent, needs."
To say that the 6-foot-4, 220-pound left-winger has a physical presence is an understatement. He has been trading monster hits with the Canadiens' Mike Komisarek, and Savard said Lucic's physical play makes his job easier.
"If I'm on the rush, I'll dump it in the corner on his side and, 90 per cent of the time, I know I'm going to get the puck back," Savard said. "I see some of the hits he makes and I know that I don't want to be chasing the puck when he's charging after it."
But Lucic is more than a brute force. He came into training camp last summer as a late second-round draft choice, a junior hoping to make an impression and his accurate shot caught Julien's eye. Sunday night, he used a wrister to beat Carey Price for the Bruins' first goal.
"We haven't had a lead against them all season," said Savard. "Coming into our building, we felt it was important to get some momentum and that's what we did with that goal."
While Savard and Lucic have only been on the same line for two games, they have been bonding for most of the season.
"He lives near me and we drive in to practice together or he comes over the house to watch games," said Savard, whose car-pooling group also includes Jeremy Reich and Mark Stuart.
"He's a great kid," Savard said of Lucic. "He's confident, but he's not cocky. He jokes around about having 13 power-play goals last year in junior and we get on his case about that. But now he's on the power play."
And without sounding cocky, Lucic talks about the night in junior hockey when he scored a hat-trick against Canadiens' goaltender Carey Price.
He and Komisarek are developing a rivalry. The hip injury which kept Komisarek out of the final seven games of the regular season was the result of a hit by Lucic. He put two hits on Komisarek Sunday night but was also on the receiving end of a few hits.
"He's a very physical player, a good shutdown guys who's going to play hard and physical all night," Lucic said. "I think, if anything, you want to play hard because you know he's going to come hard all game. It makes it funner when you have a battle like that."
The two exchanged words on a couple of occasions Sunday night and when Komisarek was asked about the nature of the conversation, he said: "I don't think you could use it in a family newspaper."
Both of Lucic's parents were born in Serbia and, while his father, had no background in hockey, he encouraged his son to play because it was the main sport in his adopted homeland.
"My mother and my grandparents moved to Vancouver when she was two and my father came when he was 27," Lucic explained. "My father was a soccer guy but he saw that hockey was the big sport in Canada."
There was also a role model in the family.
"My mother's brother played hockey and made it to the NHL," explained Lucic.
His uncle, Dan Kesa, was a journeyman who played 139 games with four different NHL teams. His nephew figures to have a longer career.

Crothers to take over economic development duties for city
Tom Crothers, Toledo's director of public utilities, will take over as the city's top economic development official, Mayor Mike Bell announced Friday.
Mr. Crothers will replace Dean Monske, deputy mayor for external relations, who has been hired to lead the Regional Growth Partnership.
"I don't view Dean joining the RGP as a loss for the city, but as the extension of our efforts and the opportunity to continue working with him and RGP as partners," Mr. Bell said. "The momentum we started with Dean will continue. I have confidence that Tom will pick up where Dean leaves off and continue collaborating with our partners — local, state, national, and international — to move Toledo forward."
Before being hired by Mr. Bell after his November, 2009, election, Mr. Crothers was previously executive director of the Downtown Toledo Improvement District and president of the Greater Downtown Business Partnership. He has also worked as chief of staff, finance director, deputy director of economic development, and executive officer for previous mayoral administrations in the city of Toledo.
David Welch, the city's director of public service, will take over as director of public utilities, Mr. Bell said.
Ed Moore, the commissioner of streets, bridges and harbor, will be appointed director of public service.
David Pratt will be acting commissioner of streets, bridges and harbor, the mayor said.
Salaries have not yet been determined for those employees changing status or departments, he said.
Mr. Bell also said Shirley Green, director of public safety, overseeing police and fire services, will take on an expanded role as deputy mayor for public safety and personnel as human resources and affirmative action are brought under her administration.
The executive leadership changes will take effect March 14.

Neural stem cells (NSC) in two regions of the adult mammalian brain—the subventricular zone (SVZ) and hippocampus—continuously generate new neurons, enabled by a complex repertoire of factors that precisely regulate the activation, proliferation, differentiation, and integration of the newborn cells. A growing number of studies also report low-level neurogenesis in regions of the adult brain outside these established neurogenic niches—potentially via NSC recruitment or activation of local, quiescent NSCs—under perturbations such as ischemia, cell death, or viral gene delivery of proneural growth factors. We have explored whether implantation of engineered biomaterials can stimulate neurogenesis in normally quiescent regions of the brain. Specifically, recombinant versions of factors found within the NSC microenvironment, Sonic hedgehog, and ephrin-B2 were conjugated to long polymers, thereby creating highly bioactive, multivalent ligands that begin to emulate components of the neurogenic niche. In this engineered biomaterial microenvironment, new neuron formation was observed in normally non-neurogenic regions of the brain, the striatum, and the cortex, and combining these multivalent biomaterials with stromal cell-derived factor-1α increased neuronal commitment of newly divided cells seven- to eightfold in these regions. Additionally, the decreased hippocampal neurogenesis of geriatric rodents was partially rescued toward levels of young animals. We thus demonstrate for the first time de novo neurogenesis in both the cortex and striatum of adult rodents stimulated solely by delivery of synthetic biomaterial forms of proteins naturally found within adult neurogenic niches, offering the potential to replace neurons lost in neurodegenerative disease or injury as an alternative to cell implantation.
