The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid: Eradicating Poverty Through Profits [With CD (Audio)]by Ck Prahalad
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
An idea can change the world...
How to serve the world's poorest people and make a profit
Five years ago, C.K. Prahalad's The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid showed companies how they could reignite profits and growth by serving the world's five billion poorest people. Hundreds of firms have successfully taken that path--building large, profitable businesses that are reducing poverty and eliminating human misery at the same time.
Now, Prahalad has updated his extraordinary book to reflect the lessons of the past five years: business-building strategies, techniques, and innovations proven to work in emerging markets. The fortune at the bottom of the pyramid: doing well by doing good or doing good by doing well!
Inspired by C.K. Prahalad's breakthrough insights in the original edition of The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid, a wide variety of firms are identifying, building, and profiting from new markets among the world's poorest people--while at the same time helping eliminate poverty and human misery. Five years after this book's first publication, Prahalad's ideas are no longer isolated instances of innovations. They are proven, widely practiced "reality."
In this 5th Anniversary Edition, Prahalad updates his book to give readers a picture of how this idea is being implemented in poor regions around the world.
Prahalad also offers an up-to-the-minute assessment of key questions such as: Is there truly a market? Is there scale? Is there profit? Is there innovation? Is this a global opportunity? Five years ago, executives could be hopeful that the answers to these questions would be positive. Now, as Prahalad demonstrates, they can be certain of it.
"C.K. Prahalad argues that companies must revolutionize how they do business in developing countries if both sides of that economic equation are to prosper. Drawing on a wealth of case studies, his compelling new book offers an intriguing blueprint for how to fight poverty with profitability."
--Bill Gates, Chairman and Chief Software Architect, Microsoft (2004)
Drawing on Prahalad's breakthrough insights in The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid, great companies worldwide have sought to identify, build, and profit from new markets amongst the world's several billion poorest people, while at the same time helping to alleviate poverty. Five years after its first publication, this book's ideas are no longer "theory": they are proven, profitable reality. In the 5th Anniversary Edition, Prahalad thoroughly updates his book to reveal all that's been learned about competing and profiting "at the bottom of the pyramid." Prahalad outlines the latest strategies and tactics that companies are utilizing to succeed in the developing world. He interviews several innovative CEOs to discuss what they've learned from their own initiatives, including the Unilever business leader who's built a billion-dollar business in India. You'll find a new case study on Jaipur Rugs' innovative new global supply chain; updates to earlier editions' key cases; and up-to-the-minute information on the evolution of key industries such as wireless, agribusiness, healthcare, consumer goods, and finance. Prahalad also offers an up-to-date assessment of the key questions his ideas raised: Is there truly a market? Is there scale? Is there profit? Is there innovation? Is this a global opportunity? Five years ago, executives could be hopeful that the answers to these questions would be positive. Now, as Prahalad demonstrates, they can be certain of it.

St. Helena
Things to do in St. Helena
Sutter Home, the second-largest independent, family-owned winery in America, is probably most well-known for creating its sweet White Zinfandel in the 1970's. Established in 1874, and eventually purchased by the Trinchero family in 1947, the winery has the appearance of a large Victorian estate.
Although the property's history dates back to 1886, this St.
Founded in 1882, the estate mansion of Spottswoode has been featured on the label of each vintage, even though wine wasn't produced until 100 years later. Now owned by Mary Novak and her two daughters, the winery produces limited quantities, most notably a highly allocated cabernet sauvignon.
Freemark Abbey's shop, located within the winery's tasting room, was designed with wood floors, a sharp-angled wood-beamed ceiling, and hanging fake-candlelit chandeliers, to mirror the winery's original stone structure. In 2010, the winery started selling this library — one of the biggest in Nap
Reminiscent of a castle, the Beringer estate is the oldest operating winery in Napa, having produced sacramental wine during Prohibition.
Peter and Sue Hua Newton established Newton Vineyards in 1977 on one-square mile of tumbling slopes on Spring Mountain overlooking St. Helena. Though now owned by European company Moët-Hennessy, the Newtons still manage the gardens of their former estate.
Founded in 1971 by eccentric, sometimes gruff brothers Stuart and Charles Smith, this winery encompasses some 200 secluded acres atop Spring Mountain. Large madrone trees can be found on the estate, giving the winery the second half of its name.
At an elevation higher than most other wineries on Spring Mountain, this family-owned estate opened its facility to visitors in 2008.
Atop Spring Mountain, this winery was started by the Pride family in 1990, with current winemaker Sally Johnson.
Serious seekers of culinary and wine knowledge have flocked to this Napa Valley campus since 1995.
Located in downtown St. Helena, this shoe store specializes in high-quality, handmade ballet flats. Though owner Jan Niemi designed the shop's 200-plus variations of the shoe, she has them hand-produced in Tuscany, where she spends six months of the year.
Up 1,700 feet on Spring Mountain, this facility used turn-of-the-century stones from the previous tenant to rebuild a structure reminiscent of an English country cottage.
A carefully curated collection of unusual, high-end housewares fills the two floors of this home-turned-shop.
Since 2004, chocolatier Tracy Wood Anderson has sold her collection of delectable handmade chocolates in this sumptuously elegant shop.

Pioneer Editorial: Solving the deficit calls for sacrifice
While many see President Barack Obama's proposal Monday to freeze federal employee pay for two years as nothing more than a symbolic gesture, it starts the ball rolling in finding ways to dig ourselves out of the deep federal deficit hole of nearly $14 trillion.

Players to watch in Las Vegas
What should we expect from Exum, Wiggins and other young stars?
I know what you're asking: Doolittle, who will you be watching during the Las Vegas Summer League?
In general, the answer is that I'll be watching the same guys as everyone else. But there are some situations I'm more anxious to check out than others. So here's a guide to what's happening on the court during the next couple of weeks. That is, if the big free agents make up their minds and allow us to veer our attention away from Twitter and the newswire.
First look: The Rookies
Dante Exum, Utah Jazz: Perhaps no player in Vegas will garner as much interest as Exum, the Australian mystery kid who skipped college ball and spent the past year preparing for the draft. We've seen sparse video of Exum, and what exists is hard to judge, given the caliber of competition. He sparkled in international events, but that was against fellow kids. Now Exum will be exposed to a few bona fide NBA players for the first time, and we'll get a feel for how he compares athletically. Fellow Jazz guard Trey Burke is also on the summer league roster for Utah, so we should get our first taste of them working in tandem.
To see the rest of the key players heading to Las Vegas, you must be an ESPN Insider.

Question for Grainlady--best tomatoes for drying?
Grainlady, we dried tomatoes last year (just using a window screen and hot sun on our deck) and LOVED them. We are buying an Excalibur this year (for a lot of things besides tomatoes) and are planning our garden. What do you think is the best-tasting tomato for drying?
We are in the Atlanta area, which is Zone 7.
Anybody else have experience with drying tomatoes in the Atlanta area?
Thanks for any help!
Chambleemama, can I jump in also? How exactly did you dry your tomatoes? Peel and slice them?
I'm going to start researching drying. I want to do some more food storage. I canned and froze a lot last year, but I want something with a more stable shelf life.
I got my 4 gallon bucket of charlies soap and just ordered my kefir grains. Picking up more white wheat hopefully this week.
Also, gotta get those seeds ordered!
Slice them in half, and scoop the seeds and goo out with your thumb, then lay them on a window screen and place in the hot sun. We turned them over after a couple of days, and we brought them inside if it was going to rain. This worked well with the cherry tomatoes and the Romas.
We want to expand our drying to more varieties this year, with the dehydrator.
On another note, about Charlie's Soap: If you want to do some hand washing, you just use a pinch of the powder. It works great. Next time I'm travelling, I'll take CS in an empty contact lens case.
I'll dry any kind of tomato I happen to be growing, but I generally only grow small varieties of tomatoes. The more "meaty" varieties of tomatoes are preferred for drying. You can dry both ripe or green tomatoes. Rehydrate those green tomato slices in boiling water, dredge them and fry in melted butter in skillet. Fried Green Tomatoes for New Year's Day along with those Black-eyed Peas. ;-)
It's amazing how many dried tomatoes you can stuff into a quart jar. You can also remove the skin and seeds and blend the tomatoes in a blender, add a little Fruit Fresh, and dry it on the Fruit Leather Sheets. Cut the sheets into squares and you'll find they add a lot of flavor to soups and stews as they incorporate into the liquid. You can also make tomato paste or tomato sauce by adding the tomato leather to hot water. Make a quick pasta sauce.
How to: Peel tomatoes by dipping in boiling water for 1-minute, then in cold water for 1 minute. Slip off skins and cut out cores, or just the stem end - your choice. Cut into 1/8-inch slices, the seeds will generally fall out during drying. I also cut them into 1/4-inch cubes to dry. Drain them well before drying. It will help cut drying time down. I'll give the tomato cubes a gentle spin in my salad spinner to extract both moisture and seeds.
I dry tomatoes in a dehydrator. It gets too humid here for good drying outdoors. Make sure your "old window screen" ISN'T galvanized, which is coated with cadmium or zinc. These metals can oxidize and leave harmful residue on the food. Also avoid copper and aluminum screening. Copper destroys vitamin C and increases oxidation. Aluminum tends to discolor and corrode. Use stainless steel, teflon-coated fiberglass and plastic screening.
Sun drying isn't recommended for vegetables (other than vine-dried beans). Vegetables are low in sugar and acid, which increases the risks for food spoilage. Favorable conditions for drying outdoors - minimum temperature of 85-degrees F (with higher temperatures being better) and humidity below 60%. Be sure to bring them in overnight. The cooler night temperatures can cause condensation and add moisture back into the food and slow the drying process. This can contribute to bacteria growth (Salmonella and E. Coli). Raise the screens off the ground (saw horses) and place them over concrete when possible (or over a sheet of aluminum - the reflection of the sun on the metal increases the drying temperature). Screens placed close to the ground can actually cause the food to absorb moisture from the grass and ground. Add a fan if possible. This will help keep insects off the food, and air circulation is as important as the temperature.
Food dried outdoors also has an increased chance for insects. All food dried outdoors needs to be pasteurized and cooled to room temperature before placing it into storage. To pasteurize the food, place it in a preheated 160-degree F oven for 30-minutes. An alternative is to freeze the food for 48-hours to kill any eggs from possible insect contamination.
TWO screens are suggested for drying food outdoors. One screen holds the food and the other one to protect the food from "critters".
Home dehydrated foods are not considered "long-storage" foods. You can extend the storage time by placing it in canning jars and vacuum-sealing the jars with a FoodSaver, or adding an oxygen absorber. You can also freeze the dehydrated food for longer storage. Recommended storage times for home dehydrated foods range from 4-months to 1-year. The food quality is affected by heat, light and storage temperature. Most dried fruits can be stored for one year at 60-degrees F, six months at 80-degrees F. Vegetables have about half the shelf-life of fruits. Vacuum-seal fruits or vegetables and keep it in the dark in a cool storage temperature and you can double the shelf-life. Remember to package your dehydrated food in small containers. Each time you open a container of food, it will draw moisture in from the air and that can cause the food to rehydrate and even mold. I package slices of dried apples in small snack-size storage bags, then place them in a 1/2-gallon jar and vacuum-seal it for storage. When it's moved from storage to the pantry, I replace the canning lid with a Universal Lid (which is easy to open and re-close). Now when I want sliced apples for a snack or for adding to muffins, I can quickly get one or two packets without the moisture getting to the entire contents of the jar.
Not all foods dry properly at one temperature, that's why an electric dehydrator with a thermostat and a fan is a better choice for home dehydrating. You'll have a safer product than using the sun.
The link below has a LOT of great information.
Here is a link that might be useful: New Home Drying Recommendations
Not associated in any way,but one of these will make things go much quicker:
We dried Celebrity tomatoes for years. In our climate, (New England) and in our dry house it took about 24 hours to dry a batch. Re-hydrating a quart of tomatoes to make a pizza was like having a taste of summer again.
Grainlady, we bought a dehydrator yesterday, and I'm reviewing your excellent advice--thank you! Also heading out to my County Extension office--a great resource, as you know, but people who have no 4-H experience may not know how much expertise is right there, already paid for with our tax dollars!
Another use for dehydrated tomatoes is to run them through the blender when they are completely dry until you have tomato powder. You can just add a few spoonfuls to what ever you are cooking for a nice tomato flavor. It is like having tomato paste without the can.

Answer #1dandd May 17, 2009, 21:56Master
Is the leak 'FOR SURE' coming from the Head Gasket or the Valve Cover Gaskets? It is common for the Valve Cover Gaskets to leak and people mistakenly think it is a head gasket problem. If it is the Head Gasket leaking oil it is very hard to say how long you can drive the car, because it may 'Blow' at any time and we are heading into Summer, which will put maximum stress on the Head Gaskets due to the hotter temperatures.

WANTED: Spring Swap 2007
Although it's still early in the season, mark your calendar for June 2, the Saturday after Memorial Day, for the annual spring swap in eastern Iowa (although we welcome swappers from everywhere.)
The swap will be held in Washington Iowa this year, in Maude's yard, so when the date gets closer, I'll post directions in a separate post.
As always, when you know what you're looking for, and what you have to trade, post it here.
New swapper? Email me to find out how the swap works, and how to prepare.
I'm looking forward to seeing old friends and making some new ones!
ok ill strt. i can bring dogwood strts yellow twig and reds, maybe some varigated. 1 yellow lilac not spoken for.some other lilacs, peonies,few cannas, some clematis, oh ill have more just gotta look also, have some inside- diff ernt mother inlawT.'s, and diff philodendron's ,including monsteria,[ very tropical] thats a start. I am looking fuki[ japanese perennial veggie), pinnapple lily bulbs, bee balm, banna plants, diff iris, assorted grasses like jblood, zebra.etc.
iowagardenamgel: the dogwood varieties sound good to me. Washington is closer for me, provided I don't have to work. I have hosta's, daylily's, red bee balm and maybe white, red raspberry, bachelor buttons, coneflower, globe thistle, larkspur and some more stuff as it pops up.
I have to find some of my Babies names.One that looks like a fern and has white blooms? The bloom are 3 feet high. Also bringing bird house gourds. But will make list later.
Mary's List - part 1
TOMATOES - I participated in a round robin this winter, and got some heirloom tomato seeds. They've germinated well, so I will have some tomato seedlings, specifically Cherokee Purple, Great White Beefsteak, and Rose. I may also have a few Lemon Boy seedlings.
GERANIUM - I will also have some rooted, potted geranium cuttings - Vancouver Centennial (chartreuse/maroon leaves and red orange flowers), and an unnamed one with chartreuse leaves and a very pretty double pink & white flower. I also expect to have one or two pelargonium sidodies, a nifty hanging geranium with small, grayish leaves and deep burgundy, tiny flowers.
OTHER STUFF - I have a bee balm - pink, I think, but no promises; pink peonys and white peonys - one is double and one is not, and I think it's the white that's double; naked ladies; pink bleeding heart (not the fern leaf type); my Plantaginea hosta need to be divided, too.
I'm always on the lookout for plants with chartreuse leaves, and things that do well in shade or part shade.
Anyone have a colocasia Black magic offshoot?
Mary's List - Part 2
I have a white lilac hedge, and there are a number of little starts. You can choose your own while you're at the swap.
I have also come up with about 5 or 6 redbud trees that need to leave their current locations. If no one takes them, it's chipper time!
I potted up four forsythia starters last weekend, and all are available.
Mary: My DH knows how to use a spade for that white lilac start! Apparently my redbud did not make it through the winter or spring freeze and I'll have him save them all if no one else does. I've had a couple of forsythia branches in a bottle of water for some time now and it hasn't started to root. How long should it take?
I marked my calendar and I'm coming to the spring swap for the first time! Yahoo! My gardens have kind of gone south because I was working 6 days and week and 2 nights so I'm starting with a mess.
I have Asiatic lilies in many colors. If you want a specific color I will try to remember what is planted where. If you don't care about color I have many to share. Lots of lily of the valley. Blackberries and raspberries too.
I have a forsythia that grew too low and rooted thanks to the dog digging and covering it up. I can separate it from the mother plant and pot it up if someone wants it. I honestly don't know what else I'll have.
I should be able to make it. I'm not sure what all I'll bring, but these came to mind: Tall phlox (purple, white), Siberian Iris (Ceasar's Brother), Virginia Bluebells, Hostas (don't know which ones yet), perennial salvia, hardy geranium, Tall Sedum, dwarf iris (mixed colors), Lamium (White Nancy), tall pink balloon flowers.
Maybe some daffodils, tulips, and glads. Maybe some Lavendar and some variegated liriope. I might also be able to bring a climbing hydrangea.
I'm always interested in ornamental grasses and flowering bushes. I wouldn't mind having a redbud too. I would like named hostas, ferns, and other woodland/shade plants. I would like some variegated lemon tyme, coral bells, rockcress, more...
If anyone was interested, I would also bring burgundy ajuga, pachysandra, variegated vinca major, missouri primrose (yellow), tall bell flowers, ribbon grass.
Pam: I would love some pink balloon flowers and tall bell flowers. I'll post later what I might be bringing.
Dessa: Missed you at Cedar Rapids DG Roundup. Will you be able to bring my yellow lilac start to Washington? I can bring the two rockcress and two red hot pokers.
Cricket: I've been wanting a forsythia. And I would give a good home to any blackberries/raspberries you need to get rid of.
Ruth, if you have enough purple trillium, I'd love to add one to my shade garden. I have the wild columbine to share, hosta of all sizes and colors, plus all the things listed above.
I also have discovered two young redbud trees growing in a large clump of yarrow (Coronation Gold, I think). I'm gussing that when we dig up the redbuds, the yarrow will be divided, too. Any takers?
I have three double, hot pink peonys potted up, and now have a total of six forsythia starts.
Hi, everyone! This swap sounds so great! I wish very much that I could come, but it is a little far away for me, and even if it wasn't, I need to go to a bridal shower for my little sister that day. Plus, as I am just starting in this, I don't have any cuttings or plants to trade - I'm only using seeds at this point. But, watch out for me next year! I hope to have plenty to share by this time next year!! And I'll just tell the hubby and kids, sorry - I'm gone for the day! Have a great time at the swap!!
Rebecca, near Pella
Hi All,
I am also planning on coming. I have lots of stuff but I haven't dug yet. I have several hostas, bell flowers, ferns, hardy geranium, husker red penstimon (sp?), a variety of ground sedums, japanese primrose (beautiful), etc.
I would love trees of any sort. And woodland flowers. We are trying to beautify the woods behind our house. We've pulled most of the sticker bushes and sticky weed. We want to fill in with a variety of color and texture but stay pretty native.
My yard is all shade to part shade.
I missed last year but I am really looking forward to coming again this year. See you in a few weeks.
As I type, I am watching a red-headed woodpecker on my feeder - absolutely beautiful.
OK - I went out and made a list: (I am terrible with spelling)
Ginger Mint
A variety of mostly unnamed small to medium hosta.
Pulmonaria - dark green with white polka dots.
Shasta daisy
A ferny plant I got at this swap about 4 years ago - I think called poached eggs.
Obedient plant - purple
coneflower - yellow
Lilly grass - very cute - gets little pink blooms
Artemesia -- tall silver
Columbine - white on pink - very pretty
Ajuga - chocolate chip
Gooseneck loosestrife
Campanula - gets pink flowers that kind of hang under - like upside down tulips (I think)
Hardy geranium - blooms majenta
coreopsis - ferny variety - yellow flowers.
A couple varieties of lily of the valley - a tall variety - maybe 12 inches, and a variety that blooms pink.
Does anybody have woodland poppies, orange poppies, brunera or japanese blood grass? I am always on the look out for hostas I don't have. I would also like some solomons seal.
Kerri, I've got all the Solomon's Seal anyone could want, and you're welcome to have some.
Pam and others - As for the red bud trees - I lost count at 15, although they are different sizes. The smaller ones transplant better. Not all of them are in pots yet. Have shovel - Will Dig To Suit.
I'm expecting two or three new people from this area, so this should be extra fun. Sorry Connie Lee can't make it - are you sure??
i have 1 banna, 1 snow angel coralbells and sev others, 1 red sugar maple leaf hibiscus with red velvet flowers, dog woods peonies , perennials some pond plants etc, im lookin for asst. mints[ i have apple n chocolate, and lime. cone flowers, buterfly weed, catchfly, japenese blood grass ribbon grass.etc.
IowaGardenAngel - I would like some dogwood and japanese blood grass.
Paws - I would like some larkspur.
Maude - I would like a red bud.
Ruth - I would like some merrybells and purple trillium if you have some left.
Hopefully I have something you all might want.
Thanks - kerri
Maude: I have two purple prarie trillium potted up for you.
Kerry: I have two purple prairie trillium potted up for you and some yellow merrybells. I would love to get some pink lily of the valley.
Pam: I have two purple prairie trillium potted up for you.
Paws: I would like some white beebalm and larkspur.
Iowagardenangel: I would like the Snow Angel coralbell? Were you looking for butterfly weed? Or would you trade for a Marmalade coralbell?
I also have potted up three pots of baby jack-in-the-pulpits (aren't blooming yet) and one huge jack-in-the-pulpit that didn't bloom this year, but maybe will next year.
Anyone have interest in unnamed iris (tall bearded, dwarf bearded, and a purple Louisiana)?
How about blue sage? or yellow loosestrife?
I have little coreopsis plants just starting to bloom.
Also have some threadleaf coreopsis.
Could bring red beebalm.
Please let me know if you want any of the ones not spoken for. Ruth
RUTH- yes ive your yellow lilac, and you can have the snowangelcoral bell, yes a marmalade c bell and buterfly weed would be great PAWS dogwood for beebalm would love some globe thstle.Twin2 ribbongrass for diff color bell, have vanilla spice and i think harveys bugandy and maybe 1 more snowangel.KERRI dogwood, would like some gingermint and yellow coneflower? maude, white tomatoe and cherokee purple would you like one of my red mapleleaf hibiscus with red velvet flowers? will have lots more to trade.......

See you all! We need rain so badly,I don't care if I have to wear raincoat & bring umbrella!! Doris AKA Iris
I'm happy to hear that! I'm getting party jitters - what if no one comes??
I ended up with lots more plants than I thought I had - someone has to come and take them away.
I've heard that we may have some rooted cuttings of Henry Lauder's Walking Stick. Can't promise, but I think so.
I'll be there, just to get a CHANCE at a Henry Lauder's Walking Stick cutting. My DH won't be coming, but I'm still interested in at least two redbuds. My friend might be bringing her husband; so I could get him to do the digging. Can't wait to see what else you have. Ruth

When, ever, and where has a country that it is under relentless attack ever provided fuel and power and food to a territory ruled by parties and people who do this attacking from precisely that territory? The FT says this is "collective punishment" and "illegal." "Targeting a civilian population is prohibited by international law: there is no debate to be had about it."Read on in this editorial and you will find that the FT, of all newspapers, is stoutly behind Hamas. Why doesn't it invite Hamas militants to settle in Britain? Or agitate for the government to invite these militants?

Joe Christensen covered Major League Baseball for 15 years, including three seasons at the Baltimore Sun and eight at the Star Tribune, before switching to the college football beat. He's a Faribault, Minn., native who graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1996. He covered Jim Wacker's Gophers for the Minnesota Daily and also wrote about USC, UCLA and the Rose Bowl for the Riverside Press-Enterprise before getting this chance to cover football again.
Email Joe to talk about the Gophers.
Heading into the final weekend before National Signing Day (next Wednesday), here are some quick thoughts on the Gophers class:
* All 23 of their commitments currently have three-star rankings in the 247Sports.com composite index, which combines all the major recruiting rankings into one.
* Rivals.com has this Gophers class ranked No. 42 nationally and sixth in the Big Ten. 247Sports.com has the Gophers at No. 57 nationally and 12th in the Big Ten.
* The five offensive linemen in this Gophers class have an average height of 6-foot-6 and an average weight of 294. That's the average. Here's a closer look:
Nick Connelly (Red Wing) 6-7, 275
Bronson Dovich (Chaska) 6-6, 290
Tyler Moore (Houston North Shore) 6-4, 300
Quinn Oseland (Springfield, Ill., Sacred Heart) 6-6, 310
Ted Stieber (Akron Archbishop Hoban) 6-6, 295
"I think the headline of the class has to be the offensive line," said Zach Johnson, who runs GopherIllustrated.com, a Rivals affiliate. "Look at the guys they're bringing in. Offensive linemen don't come to campus anymore at 6-4, 230 pounds, and you've just got to wait three years to get them up to playing weight."
Here's my overview of the full class. We'll have much, much more on this next week.
The Gophers pulled one of their biggest recruiting coups of the past year Wednesday night, when they convinced safety Dior Johnson, from Southfield, Mich., to commit one day after he de-committed from Wake Forest.
The Gophers now have 23 players committed in this year's class, and Johnson is the first one with a four-star rating from Rivals.com. He also had offers from Illinois and Indiana.
The 6-2, 195-pound Johnson is a high school teammate of Ray Buford, another highly-rated defensive back who committed to the Gophers in December. Coach Jerry Kill and defensive backs coach Jay Sawvel had in-home visits with both Buford and Johnson on Wednesday night. Johnson announced his decision on Twitter.
Had a great in home visit with Coach Kill. No doubt where I want to play, I'm committing to the U of 〽innesota pic.twitter.com/ejEBbma5OX
— YeaThatsHim (@ThatBoyDior) January 29, 2015
The Gophers were determined to add defensive linemen to this year's recruiting class, and they got one Tuesday from the same high school that produced Gophers receiver KJ Maye and defensive tackle Gary Moore.
Mose Hall, a defensive tackle from Mobile (Ala.) Murphy High School, gave the Gophers a verbal commitment. Rivals.com rates Hall as a three-star recruit who also had offers from Maryland, Illinois and Wake Forest. He is the Gophers' 22nd commitment for the 2015 class. He announced his decision on Twitter:
I am proud to say that I am committed to the University Of Minnesota!! #GoGophers #SkiUMah #BrickByBrick pic.twitter.com/j55q8rCKpP
— Mos. II (@Mose__vX2) January 27, 2015
The Gophers continued rounding out this year's recruiting class Monday, when they got a commitment from Bryce Witham, a tight end from Grand Rapids (Mich.) West Catholic.
The 6-4, 240-pound Witham is a consensus three-star recruit who also had reported offers from Central Michigan, Southern Miss and Toledo. He is the Gophers' 21st commitment in this year's class. Witham announced his decision on Twitter:
Proud to say that I have committed to the University of Minnesota and will be a Golden Gopher!!!!! #Blessed#Glory2God pic.twitter.com/hiPpY0OMaB

Veteran recruiting analyst Tom Lemming honored Jerry Kill with National Coach of the Year honors last week on CBS Sports Network. Lemming also recognized Gophers recruiting director Billy Glasscock as one of five national directors of operations of the year.
Lemming told me today that Urban Meyer and Nick Saban have been repeated winners of his National Coach of the Year award, and he wanted to recognize Kill. Jimbo Fisher was another finalist.
"I take everything into account, how you built it up from scratch," Lemming said. "[Minnesota] was down in the dumps for a long time, and [Kill's] doing it the right way, evaluating and developing the top prospects.
"It's a lot easier to build up Ohio State or Alabama or Florida State -- the other three finalists in our coach of the year thing. I just thought he made more of an impact than they did at their schools and actually made a bigger jump than they did."
Lemming had good things to say about several of the recruits in Minnesota's 2015 class. A sampling:
QB Demry Croft: "Nobody knows about him. I'm only an hour away from [Rockford, Ill.], so I go up there and I've seen him. I love the kid. He's got great potential. He's that good. He could be a big, big time guy. He could be the guy that could lead them to a Big Ten championship someday."
DB Antonio Shenault: "He's another big-time, four-star kid out of Chicago. Legit cover corner. He's got terrific all-around ability."
OL Quinn Oseland: "He has an excellent offensive line coach at Sacred Heart-Griffin [in Springfield, Ill.] State champs again this year. Quinn Oseland has potential to be an All-American at Minnesota."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Joining the boys' club
Female officer forged new roles for women on force
At first, when I called on Monday, Russ Woollard declined. He didn't want a column written about his mother, Helen Woollard, the pioneering woman police officer, who died last month two days after her 84th birthday.
He was grieving and he sounded angry.
"I was the only one seeing her for the last seven years," he said.
Three times a week he would visit a mother whose memory and ability to communicate had been all but taken from her.
It was Helen's 23-year-old granddaughter, Kristina Woollard, who finally convinced her father Helen should be honoured with more than a brief obituary. When we again spoke over the phone Tuesday, I had a feeling it was the outpouring of online tributes under her Free Press obituary that may have helped make Russ feel as if the police service did care.
That he wasn't abandoned.
She was referred to as a "trailblazer" by one officer, a "guiding light" looked up to by junior officers,
"A true inspiration in a male-dominated profession," wrote friend and co-worker Bruce D. McDonald. "She was the true meaning of a police officer."
"Another legend has fallen," added her former crime-division partner, Wally Rudnick.
Why was she a legend?
Before 1960 (the year Woollard became an officer), there had been seven women constables since 1916, when city council authorized women to be hired, initially to take care of cases involving children and women in distress.
But in some important ways, in the modern, conventional sense of a cop, Helen was the first Winnipeg female police officer.
At the age of 27, she became the first woman to graduate from a recruit class. You can't tell it from the graduation photo, in which she dressed more like a school teacher than a police officer. She became the first female to wear a Winnipeg Police Department uniform.
She holds another important first to her credit, as reported in a Free Press story from 1999 celebrating the 40th anniversary of what was to become 911 and North America's first three-digit emergency phone line.
The story also suggests why she wanted to be a cop.
"Helen Woollard, always intrigued by police work, was the first operator-supervisor of the system, which gave Winnipeggers access to fire, police, a doctor's directory, poison centre and ambulance with one call."
Woollard would go on to tell the reporter how that happened.
"When I found out this was going on and that they were going to institute this new emergency system, I applied right away," she said.
Her background made her the perfect candidate to supervise the eight other initial hires for what was then the 999 line. She was a former taxicab dispatcher. She knew the city and she knew how to operate a switchboard.
That was 1959. Less than a year later, she was a cop.
Seven years later, she and her female police partner would be publicly commended for their work by the police chief.
And in 1968, as a member of the morality squad, Woollard was speaking at a luncheon of the Professional Engineers' Wives Association.
Her topic? The role of policewomen.
It was, of course, an old boys' club of the highest order back then, and when Helen Woollard crashed it, she did it with the dignity, grace and courage that defined who she was.
In her later years, she worked in human resources, doing background checks and helping other women join the service.
Corrine Scott, who is now retired, was one of them. Woollard reassured Scott's parents their daughter would do just fine in police work. Scott went on to become a superintendent.
"I think she liked that," her 63-year-old son Russ told me, "because it gave her some involvement with some younger recruits.
"I guess what she would like to be recognized for is her ability to help others and especially the young, upcoming police-officer women."
But there was also Helen Woollard, the woman out of uniform, and that's who her granddaughter, Kristina, knew.
"I remember she was a very kind and loving lady and always appreciated little things anyone would do for her.
"She didn't have an easy life, and she never really got a break. She always appeared happy and always had a smile on her face, though. She was a very strong lady."
What the police service remembers is not only who she was, but the place she holds in its history that Supt. Danny Smyth expressed under the obituary.
"She holds a place of honour with the Winnipeg Police Service."
That's why she never really was forgotten.
And never will be.

A Novel DSS Framework for E-Government
Free registration required
Executive Summary
A variety of DSS have been postulated for describing the characteristics of DSS. These frameworks are helpful in organizing and identifying the relationships of DSS. The identification of DSS applications is important in planning organization strategy for the deployment of information technology. DSS is defined as the use of computer to: assist managers with their decision process in semi-structure tasks; to support, rather than replace managerial judgment, and to improve the effectiveness of decision making rather than its efficiency.

Nanotubes "As Deadly as Asbestos" 180
from the hack-cough-weeze dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
You do however still get idiots that argue that things are perfectly safe even decades after they have been found to be a major problem - which is why I've seen that asbestos sparkles prettily in the wind when I worked near such an idiot. The stuff appears to be perfectly safe if you don't breath it in. However it is such a menace since it breaks into particles that are light enough to drift on the wind, get into your lungs, never get out and irritate tissue until that portion of lung is dead. Carbon nanotubes are also likely to get stuck - hence the care taken since day 1.
Why isn't fiberglass insulation just as much of a problem as asbestos?
Glass fibers in insulation are much larger. You can actually see them if you look closely with the naked eye, whereas asbestos fibers are microscopic.
And while we're at it: Is the level of risk from asbestos exaggerated?
Yes. Reasonable caution is definitely warranted around asbestos, but treating it like they do, as if it were some deadly neurotoxin, is ridiculous. People freak out when they hear their kids' school has asbestos in the attic, but think nothing of driving down the freeway with the windows down, sucking in the asbestos from various brake pad and brake lining p
I just wouldn't be jumping the gun with how dangerous it is until further studies are done.
The choice of asbestos as a comparison is more than an appeal to emotion; it's actually fairly valid. Both substances appear much the same way to a mammalian tissue, both affect the immune systems in a similar way, and both tend to be very long-lived once inside the lungs. True, this does mean we will have to be VERY careful with this stuff. But better to know that now, rather than decades later, after it is too late.
Being a teacher, I'll probably have to deal with it sooner or later...
"Pull the trigger and you're garbage." -- Lady Blue

play in mid, keep looking at bot and top, u need to have map awarness, playing with karthus is the best thing to teach u that, get magic pen runes (10magec pen. is good), masteris ( use 21-0-9) or something like that.
Rule of thump: die in the middle of fight with your e activated , use some q, then ult----triple kill!!!
Tip depending on my exp: get exhaust and flash, exhaust saves u from ad fighters, and flash saves u from dieng OR use it to DIE in mid fight.
hope that help u.
Junior Member
Play a champ that isnt a ***
Don't use his ultimate earlygame especially unless you see an enemy retreating that's not easily caught by your team that has like 200 health or lower. This doesn't happen that often, but save your ultimate until you're almost sure you will get the kill.
i just played and owned the game with him. i start with meki pendant and health pots. last hit with your Q. it has crazy range. get your Q leveled as quick as possible. get a wall 2nd but max it last, to help escape ganks. make about 1050g, and recall. i use revive and teleport.
If the enemy mid gets too close, drop a wall behind them and place Q's in their path, most people dont realize that the wall drops their magic resist by a ton, and when Q only hits one target the damage is doubled. so it hits hard..
i usually have my E at level 2 by Level 7 and you can drop whole creep waves with that and one Q blast. so money is never a problem.
Start getting all the Blue's post the 12 min mark, drop a wall between you and the golem, Q him, then turn E on and mash Q
once i get a Tear and my magic boots its time to rush zonyas. I like to bind it to my 2nd slot becuase i have the muscle memory to hit it. once a team fight occurs, drop your wall in the middle, try to split the other team in 2. have your E on and start spamming Q and jump in, if you get focused let them get a hit or 2 then pop your hourglass, your E spell still damages, your team should be able to clean up the person attacking you with help from your E spell. if you do die. spam your Q. throw a wall out. revive and drop an ult possibly.
Ask your teammates to give you a sign when ult needs to be dropped during lane battles. dont rage ult becuase you got ganked, its on a long cooldown.
once you start getting cash, deathcap, finish the archangels and then abyssal spectre. for the MR. plus you have armor in the zonyas, to help you stay alive. better than void.
void or the spell book with spell vamp depending on how you want to roll for a last item, though the game should be over.
Like other people said, spam your Q all of the place. Make them ****ing dance to dodge it. If they run up and try to kill you, don't retreat if you know you can take them out. Put a Wall behind them to block their exit path and toggle your E and get up close while still spamming your Q. Good luck <3

- This project is not just about patterns.
A pair of months ago I've been contacted by a friend of mine to do a workshop/lesson about pattern design where he works, the coworking space Multiverso, here in Florence (Italy).
The workshop has been conducted on their open day, together with other similar happenings(a typographic exhibition, a presentation of a game app, other design workshops, etc.).
During the month, while preparing my presentation, I've thought a lot about how and what I could show. And, in the meantime, I decided to re-design my self brand-image.
So, I've made this logo. And, from the logo, the rest is born.
Now, let images talk, enjoy!
