FSG's Learning Agenda for Creating Shared Value: http://3bl.me/aef98y #sharedvalue #CSV @MichaelEPorter @FSGTweets @nestleCSV
Press Release
Wednesday, July 27, 2011 - 9:22am
(3BL Media / theCSRfeed) July 27, 2011 - "It's a rethinking of what is business, what is capitalism, what is the set of issues that business should think about when it maximizes profits...Shared Value is about maximizing profits and improving the business." -Michael Porter, Shared Value Summit, June 2011
In June, FSG convened over 50 leaders from global corporations, government, and NGOs to discuss how to initiate and execute Shared Value strategies. Sponsored by Nestlé, the Leadership Summit on Creating Shared Value featured Michael Porter of Harvard Business School, Jane Nelson of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, and Mark Kramer of FSG.
The Summit fostered an open dialogue with FSG co-founders Porter and Kramer, as well as peer-to-peer working sessions with executives that resulted in a new learning agenda for Creating Shared Value (CSV). This CSV Learning Agenda will both inform FSG's future research and analysis, and will also help guide companies on their Shared Value journeys.
The research generated by the new CSV Learning Agenda will guide corporations through three stages of Shared Value creation:
Starting the Shared Value journey, including issue selection, executive buy-in, and goal development.
Making the business case for Creating Shared Value, including crafting different cases for different types of Shared Value, and messaging on Shared Value to external stakeholders.
Integrating Shared Value into the business, including issues of governance, measurement, and partnering.
Join FSG and leading corporations like General Electric, Intel, HP, Eli Lilly & Co., Novartis, Whole Foods, ExxonMobil, Barclays, and others on the exciting journey toward Shared Value. Please visit the Summit Event Page for more information, including a list of corporations that attended the event, the full Shared Value Learning Agenda, related event video, and other details.
For more information about FSG's Creating Shared Value approach, please contact Michelle Morgan-Nelsen.

You are Daniel, a researcher at the Time Travel Research Facility where you study both time manipulation and dimensional transfer. But one day the extradimensional creatures kept in cages break free and wreak havoc on the entire facility. As Daniel tries to escape from the labs full of danger, he learns that the breakout was caused by more than negligence or coincidence. Treason may be found at the highest levels.
In this platformer game, you rewind time to get to inaccessible places, avoid death or synchronize sentinels. You slow down time to avoid long trap corridors, outmaneuver extradimensionals and avoid projectiles. You can also pick up time grenades to send your foes into the future. This way, you can bypass them entirely or at least move yourself into advantageous position in the meantime.
(arrow keys) - movement
(hold A or Shift) - rewind time
(hold S or Ctrl) - slow down time
(press Space) - throw time grenade (if you have any)
(press R) - restart level
You gain 1000 points whenever you enter a level.
You gain 1 point whenever you kill an enemy.
You lose 10 points whenever you are "near death".
You lose 30 points whenever you restart the level.

Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
I'm a sucker for time-manipulation. I don't think the mechanic was used as well as it could have been. When dying, for example, you hold 'a' to rewind time. The problem with this was that, if you'd been slowing time when you died, you could rewind yourself into the same hazard that killed you three or four times. Additionally, the time grenades were only needed for one part. It would've been nice to see some puzzles where syncing enemies was required.
The "rewinding into death" loop is a problem, I agree.
As for time grenades, they're actually necessary in three parts: in the level in which they are introduced to fight Spikes, in the "military men checkpoint" and in the same level in the room downstairs. They also help a bit in the boss battle.
Syncing enemies is an interesting concept I could have used. At one point in the boss battle, though, you may use it to sync the non-organic with organic projectiles to make it easier to jump in the gap.
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars
The programming and music were fine, but Chris, you need to get your act together, i had no motivation to read the speach bubbles. The writing was so meh. To improve, have a look at some games that have done it right.
Thank you for this feedback.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Great game and concept although it seems impossible to pass threw the "not even military men can run pass this" checkpoint.
To pass this checkpoint, you must use time grenades. Hold (S) just after the row projectiles falls down and run up to the first obstacle. Jump over it and go to the next obstacle. Now wait until the next row of projectiles is just above your head and throw a time grenade to the obstacle. The projectile row will disappear and you may jump over the obstacle and to the exit. You may use additional time grenades if necessary.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Good storyline, decent gameplay. The game seems simple yet creative. The audio is also pretty sweet. It fits the situation. It could use a little work but it is pretty nice.
Thank you for your feedback.

Emily "Cissy" Houston (née Drinkard; born September 30, 1933)[1] is an American soul, gospel singer. After a successful career singing backup for such artists as Elvis Presley and Aretha Franklin she embarked on a solo career, winning two Grammy Awards for her work. She is the mother of Whitney Houston, grandmother of Whitney's daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown, aunt of Dionne and Dee Dee Warwick, and a cousin of opera singer Leontyne Price.
Family and childhood[edit]
Early life[edit]
Born Emily Drinkard in Newark, New Jersey,[1] to Nitcholas and Delia Mae Drinkard (née McCaskill), she was the eighth child; older siblings were brothers William, Hansom, Nicky, and Larry, and sisters Lee, Marie, and Anne.[2] Houston's father Nitcholas Drinkard was born to Susan Bell (called Delia) Drinkard (née Fuller), of Dutch and African-American descent.[3] His father John Drinkard, Jr., was of Native American descent.Cite error: A <ref>
tag is missing the closing </ref>
(see the help page).
After Houston's three oldest siblings were born, the family relocated to New Jersey during the Second Great Migration.[3] Her parents emphasized the children getting educated and being involved in the church, and her father encouraged Houston and her siblings to sing.[3] In 1938, five-year-old Cissy's mother Delia suffered a stroke and died of cerebral hemorrhage three years later.[4]
Her father died of stomach cancer in 1951 when Houston was 18.[3][5] Cissy and her siblings went to live with her older sister Lee and her husband Mancel Warwick.[6] The Warwicks had three children: a son, Mancel Warwick Jr. and two daughters Dionne Warwick and Dee Dee Warwick.[7] Renowned soprano Leontyne Price is a Drinkard cousin.[8][9]
Marriage and children[edit]
In 1955, Houston married Freddie Garland and had a son, Gary Garland, an NBA basketball player and DePaul University Athletic Hall of Famer.[10][11][12] The Garlands divorced soon after.
In 1959, she married John Russell Houston, Jr., a Newark City administrator and entertainment executive.[11][13] The couple had a son Michael Houston, who became a songwriter, and a daughter, Whitney Houston, who became an R&B/pop singer .[14][15][16] Aretha Franklin was an honorary aunt of Houston's daughter.[17]
In the 1990s, Houston's daughter Whitney began to struggle with drug addiction. Houston staged several interventions to get her daughter into rehabilitation and recovery programs. On one occasion she obtained a court order and the assistance of two sheriffs to intervene, persuading her daughter to undertake treatment at Hope For Women Residential & Therapeutic Services in Atlanta, Georgia.[18] Her daughter cycled through recovery, relapse and rehabilitation programs.[19] On February 11, 2012, Whitney Houston died at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.[20] After her daughter's death, in an interview with the New Jersey TV station WWOR, Houston expressed her distaste of the media's coverage of related events: "The media are awful. People have come from here and there, [and they] don't know what they're talking about," she said. "People I haven't seen in 20 years … Here they come, [they] think they know everything, but that's not true. But God has his way of taking care of all of it, and I'm glad I know that. They really chopped on her, chopped on her … kept, kept, kept." [21] Houston has six grandchildren.[11]
The Drinkard Singers[edit]
Houston's singing career began in 1938 when she joined her sister Anne and brothers Larry and Nicky in the gospel singing group the Drinkard Four. Lee (who would later become the mother of singers Dee Dee and Dionne Warwick), later joined the group along with Ann Moss and Marie Epps, and the group was renamed The Drinkard Singers. Houston and the Drinkard Singers regularly performed at New Hope Baptist Church and later recorded a live album for RCA called A Joyful Noise.[22]
Sweet Inspirations[edit]
In 1963, then about to give birth to daughter Whitney Houston, she formed the Sweet Inspirations with Doris Troy and niece Dee Dee Warwick. Later, under contract to Atlantic Records, Sylvia Shemwell, Estelle Brown and Myrna Smith form the line-up.
During the mid-1960s, the Sweet Inspirations provided backup vocals for a variety of artists, including Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Lou Rawls, The Drifters, Dusty Springfield and Houston's niece Dionne Warwick. They appeared on Van Morrison's single Brown Eyed Girl. Houston performed the operatic soprano melody on the Aretha Franklin hit, Ain't No Way.[23]
In 1967, The Sweet Inspirations sang background vocals for The Jimi Hendrix Experience on the track "Burning of the Midnight Lamp".[24]
In 1969, they were hired to sing backing vocals for Elvis Presley in Las Vegas on his return to live performances during July and August 1969. Presley often introduced them at shows by saying, "They really live up to their name ladies & gentleman, The Sweet Inspirations!" [25] Many of these performances can be heard on the All Shook Up and Live In Las Vegas live records.[25]
Performing with Elvis Presley was Houston's final gig with The Sweet Inspirations. As her children were growing bigger, she decided to stop touring and focus on her career as a recording artist.[25]
Solo career[edit]
In 1969, Houston signed a recording contract with Commonwealth United Records and recorded her solo debut Presenting Cissy Houston which was released in 1970.[25] It contained several well received singles, including covers of "I'll Be There" and "Be My Baby", both of which made the R&B charts.[26]
Following the release of her debut album, Houston's contract was sold to Janus Records in 1970.[26] She recorded another album and several more singles in the early 1970s, which included the original recording of Jim Weatherly's "Midnight Train to Georgia" in 1972, later a number one hit for Gladys Knight & The Pips.[26][27] She continued to record with Janus Records until 1975.[28]
In 1977, Houston was signed by Private Stock Records, working with arranger/producer Michael Zager on three albums. The second included her big disco hit "Think It Over", which climbed to #32 on the Billboard R&B chart in 1979. She represented USA at the World Popular Song Festival in 1979 with a track called "You're the Fire", landing second place and winning the "Most Outstanding Performance Award". This also appeared on her 1980 disco-flavored album, Step Aside for a Lady, again produced by Zager, but released on Columbia Records (on EMI in the United Kingdom).
Session musician[edit]
Houston's cross-genre singing style has kept her highly in demand as a session musician with some of the world's most successful recording artists.
She sang back-up on Bette Midler's 1972 debut album, The Divine Miss M. In 1974, Houston sang back-up on Linda Ronstadt's multi-Platinum Heart Like A Wheel, a seminal album that topped Billboard′s Pop and Country Album Charts in early 1975.
In 1971, Houston was featured on three tracks of Burt Bacharach's self-titled solo album: "Mexican Divorce", "All Kinds of People" and "One Less Bell to Answer".
During 1975 and 1976, she worked with jazz flautist Herbie Mann on two Atlantic albums, Waterbed and Surprises, featuring on three tracks, "Violet Don't Be Blue", JJ Cale's "Cajun Moon" and "Easter Rising".
In addition to her work as choirmaster at New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, NJ, Cissy performed frequently at clubs in NYC including Mikell's, Sweetwaters, Seventh Avenue South, and Fat Tuesday from the late 1970s through the 1980s.
Whitney Houston, her daughter and backup singer, increasingly sang solos with Cissy's band, including the Barbra Streisand hit "Evergreen". They would collaborate on Ain't No Way (originally a Cissy Houston and Aretha Franklin vehicle), on which Cissy sang "Cissy" and Whitney "Aretha".
Whitney's "coming-out" performance took place at Sweetwaters,[29] whereupon she was signed by Clive Davis for Arista Records.
In 1985, the small UK independent label Glitter released a single, "With You I Could Have It All" and "Whatcha Gonna Do About Our Love". The 12-inch single featured both a ballad and a dance version of the song.
Gospel soloist and duets[edit]
In 1996, Houston received the Grammy Award for Best Traditional Soul Gospel Album for Face to Face, an album that contained a Gospel version of "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)".
The same year she contributed one song to the gospel soundtrack album for the film The Preacher's Wife, which starred her daughter Whitney Houston.
In 1998, she won her second Grammy for her album He Leadeth Me.
She has also continued to record infrequent secular material and in 1987, Houston and her daughter Whitney recorded a duet titled "I Know Him So Well", a cover of the original by Barbara Dickson and Elaine Paige from the Broadway show, Chess. This song also became a single in early 1989 as the 6th and last single release (in selected European countries) from Whitney's album Whitney. In 1992 she teamed up with Chuck Jackson for an album of solo and duet recordings entitled I'll Take Care of You.
In 2006, she recorded the song "Family First" with niece Dionne Warwick and daughter Whitney Houston for the soundtrack to the movie Daddy's Little Girls.
In 2010, Cissy attended the third annual BET Honors with her daughter Whitney, who received the entertainment award.
In 2012, Cissy performed "Bridge Over Troubled Water" at the tribute for her daughter at the BET Music Awards.
On September 29, 2014, at 81 years old, Cissy sang backup to a standing-ovation performance with Aretha Franklin of Adele's - "Rolling in the Deep' and "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" on the Late Show with David Letterman. [30]
New Hope Baptist Church Youth Inspirational Choir[edit]
For more than fifty years, Houston has led the 200-member Youth Inspirational Choir at the New Hope Baptist Church.[11] She is driving force behind and performs annually at the McDonald's Gospelfest.

Keep one and pass it on
By By Jill Meier
Challenger editor
May 02. 2014 9:42AM
I got egged last week.
Fortunately, not the kind that wouldve required a bucket of soapy water and a lot of elbow grease.
No, this egg came in the form of one of those happy, little plastic Easter eggs that have been sitting on the store shelves since the Christmas merchandise was being cleared out.
I had left the office for just a few minutes to snap a few photos, so imagine my surprise as I drove into my usual parking spot at the Challenger office first spot, right by the door (and one of the perks of being a one-woman staff) I focused right in on the yellow, plastic egg peeking out of the lid of the drop box.
A bomb?
Probably (gulp, hopefully) not.
Jelly beans?
Turns out, it wasnt a bomb or a handful of sugary goodness.
No, it was a Kindness First egg being distributed by one of our local business friends, The First National Bank of Sioux Falls-Brandon Branch.
So, I cracked it open, and to my surprise, inside there was a note and two, crisp $2 bills.
The note said Id been egged, and I was instructed to keep one and pass the other on.
OK, Ill admit it: the little devil in me argued, You could keep both and no one would ever know
Yes, I could, I reasoned.
So, fast-forward to the next morning at the Chamber office, when Brandon branch manager Chrystal Rothenberger pulled out the colorful eggs following our Special Events Committee meeting at the local Chamber office. (By the way, were busy planning the Chambers annual Wine & Golf Tasting, which is Monday, June 9. Inquire at the Brandon Valley Area Chamber if you want to join in on the fun.)
And thats when the little devil emerged again. Take it! Take it, the little devil in me said.
But fierce little angel in me won out. Give it back! Give it back!
Yes, you should, I reasoned.
So I did, explaining that Id been egged the day before, and I still had the pair of crisp $2 bills still in the egg, still on my desk.
But the crisp $2 bills didnt stay there long. Within the next few hours, I passed one on to former Brandon City Councilman Bob Bruning, whod stopped by the office. We caught up for a few minutes and before he slipped out the door, I said, Bob, you should have one of these.
If you know Bob at all, you know he was grinning from ear to ear.
And he was.
As for that remaining $2 bill, it was then that little angel in me finally saw things my way, Pocket it! Pocket it! the angel told me.
And I did.

Everyone gets in trouble, the brown rounds will smoke you even if everyone does everything right.
Eventually you will all LOVE to get smoked and it will become ineffective.

It takes courage and you can do it.

Thanks for the reply!
Re: Fears of BCT
I also had a slight fear of heights when I went to boot camp. The reason you do those things is to build your confidence and to prove to yourself that you can do ANYTHING you set your mind to, especially anything at silly old basic training. When I went to Marine boot camp, I was a twig. 5'10 and 130 lbs. Man (or soldier, if you're a woman) up and just do it. Nothing in basic training is beyond what you can do. Remember that people far worse off than you have been getting through it for years and years, and this is just the first step in a very exciting career with the military. Get it done and move on. It ain't no thing.

Antics in Asia
About this blog
I never really had any intention of doing an extended trip through Asia. As horrible as it sounds the continent as a whole never truly interested me and to be quite honest the idea terrified the crap out of me. But, as usually happens, the more I travelled the world the more the concept of backpacking through Asia went from a "never going to happen" to an "absolutely must happen" trip. So here I am, embarking on a six month extravaganza through a good portion of the Asian continent. Some of the trip has been planned while the rest is going to be on a "wherever the wind takes us" basis. So it's me, my 40L backpack and my good friend Katelyn (who is thankfully crazy enough to join me on this adventure). Together we will see many parts of this beautiful continent and create many lasting memories. Oh lordy, Asia won't know what hit 'em!

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an increase of blood pressure in the pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein, or pulmonary capillaries, together known as the lung vasculature, leading to shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting, leg swelling and other symptoms. Pulmonary hypertension can be a severe disease with a markedly decreased exercise tolerance and heart failure. It was first identified by Ernst von Romberg in 1891. According to the most recent classification, it can be one of five different types: arterial, venous, hypoxic, thromboembolic or miscellaneous.
Because symptoms may develop very gradually, patients may delay seeing a physician for years. Common symptoms are shortness of breath, fatigue, non-productive cough, angina pectoris, fainting or syncope, peripheral edema (swelling around the ankles and feet), and rarely hemoptysis (coughing up blood).
InChI=1S/C22H30N6O4S.C6H8O7/c1-5-7-17-19-20(27(4)25-17)22(29)24-21(23-19)16-14-15(8-9-18(16)32-6-2)33(30,31)28-12-10-26(3)11-13-28;7-3(8)1-6(13,5(11)12)2-4(9)10/h8-9,14H,5-7,10-13H2,1-4H3,(H,23,24,29);13H,1-2H2,(H,7,8)(H,9,10)(H,11,12)Y Key:DEIYFTQMQPDXOT-UHFFFAOYSA-NY
Sildenafil citrate, sold as Viagra, Revatio and under various other trade names, is a drug used to treat erectile dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). It was originally developed by British scientists and then brought to market by the US-based pharmaceutical company Pfizer. It acts by inhibiting cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), an enzyme that promotes degradation of cGMP, which regulates blood flow in the penis. Since becoming available in 1998, sildenafil has been the prime treatment for erectile dysfunction; its primary competitors on the market are tadalafil (Cialis) and vardenafil (Levitra).
Erectile dysfunction (ED) or impotence is sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis during sexual performance.
A penile erection is the hydraulic effect of blood entering and being retained in sponge-like bodies within the penis. The process is often initiated as a result of sexual arousal, when signals are transmitted from the brain to nerves in the penis. The most important organic causes are cardiovascular disease and diabetes, neurological problems (for example, trauma from prostatectomy surgery), hormonal insufficiencies (hypogonadism) and drug side effects.
Human sexuality is the capacity to have erotic experiences and responses. A person's sexual orientation may influence their sexual interest and attraction for another person. Sexuality can have biological, emotional/physical or spiritual aspects. The biological aspect of sexuality refers to the reproductive mechanism as well as the basic biological drive that exists in all species, which is hormonally controlled. The emotional or physical aspect of sexuality refers to the bond that exists between individuals, and is expressed through profound feelings or physical manifestations of emotions of love, trust, and caring. There is also a spiritual aspect of sexuality of an individual or as a connection with others. Sexuality impacts and is impacted by cultural, political, legal, and philosophical aspects of life. It can refer to issues of morality, ethics, theology, spirituality, or religion. Some cultures have been described as sexually repressive.
Interest in sexual activity typically increases when an individual reaches puberty. Some researchers assume that sexual behavior is determined by genetics, and others assert that it is molded by the environment. This is the nature versus nurture debate, in which one can define nature as those behavioral traits that are due to innate characteristics, such as instincts and drives. The concept of nurture can be defined as the environmental factors or external stimuli that influence behavior, emotions, and thinking. Biological and physical differences include the human sexual response cycle among men and women.

Tadalafil is a PDE5 inhibitor marketed in pill form for treating erectile dysfunction (ED) under the name Cialis, and under the name Adcirca for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. In October 2011 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Cialis for treating the signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) as well as a combination of BPH and erectile dysfunction (ED) when the conditions coincide. It initially was developed by the biotechnology company ICOS, and then again developed and marketed world-wide by Lilly ICOS, LLC, the joint venture of ICOS Corporation and Eli Lilly and Company. Cialis tablets, in 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg doses, are yellow, film-coated, and almond-shaped. The approved dose for pulmonary arterial hypertension is 40 mg (two 20-mg tablets) once daily.
Organic chemistry is a chemistry subdiscipline involving the scientific study of the structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds and organic materials, i.e., matter in its various forms that contain carbon atoms. Study of structure includes using spectroscopy and other physical and chemical methods to determine the chemical composition and constitution of organic compounds and materials. Study of properties includes both physical properties and chemical properties, and uses similar methods as well as methods to evaluate chemical reactivity, with the aim to understand the behavior of the organic matter in its pure form (when possible), but also in solutions, mixtures, and fabricated forms. The study of organic reactions includes both their preparation—by synthesis or by other means—as well as their subsequent reactivities, both in the laboratory and via theoretical (in silico) study.
The range of chemicals studied in organic chemistry include hydrocarbons, compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen, as well as compositions based on carbon but containing other elements. Organic chemistry overlaps with many areas including medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, organometallic chemistry, and polymer chemistry, as well as many aspects of materials science.
A phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor, often shortened to PDE5 inhibitor, is a drug used to block the degradative action of phosphodiesterase type 5 on cyclic GMP in the smooth muscle cells lining the blood vessels supplying the corpus cavernosum of the penis. These drugs are used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction, and were the first effective oral treatment available for the condition. Because PDE5 is also present in the arterial wall smooth muscle within the lungs, PDE5 inhibitors have also been explored for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension, a disease in which blood vessels in the lungs become overloaded with fluid, usually as a result of failure of the left ventricle of the heart.
PDE5 inhibitors are clinically indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Sildenafil citrate, one of the PDE5 inhibitors, is also indicated for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension. Other PDE5 inhibitors such as tadalafil and vardenafil have been studied as other possible treatments for this disease.

Josh Hartnett and Sophia Lie in NYC
Josh Hartnett and Sophia Lie Stroll SoHo Together
Josh Hartnett and his girlfriend, Sophia Lie, went shopping in NYC's SoHo neighborhood yesterday. The cute couple's outing was just the latest of their Summer strolls in the city, since they were spotted together on their way to a friend's party in June and again just before the Fourth of July. Josh is back in Manhattan following a weekend out in the Hamptons at Montauk earlier this month. The actor is enjoying his time off now that's he's wrapped up Singularity, though he'll soon get to work on Dark Star Hollow. This time last year Josh and Sophia were at the Ischia Film Festival, where he was honored, and this time around the festival has brought out supermodels Helena Christensen and Karolina Kurkova as well as Eli Roth and Christoph Waltz.

Nelson Mandela was a political activist who believed in the human rights of all South Africans. Throughout his life, Nelson Mandela strived for social justice by leading a movement to unify a divided nation and reconcile decades of institutionalized racism created through the Apartheid system.
Nelson Mandela's role as a political activist in South Africa became apparent after he spent 27 years in prison. Following his release, he emerged as the most significant leader for Black South Africa and eventually became the first democratically elected president of South Africa at the age of 75.
While in office, Mandela spent his term transitioning South Africa into a democratic nation and resolving the racial tensions that were present at the time. He did not support imperialism, because he believed that it was another method in which Western nations could dominate other countries and maintain their perceived superiority.
ThinkProgress explains that Mandela believed that poverty was one of the greatest evils in the world and considered ending poverty a fundamental human duty. "Massive poverty and obscene inequality are such terrible scourges of our times — times in which the world boasts breathtaking advances in science, technology, industry and wealth accumulation — that they have to rank alongside slavery and apartheid as social evils," he said.

As an analyst at Forrester I always look forward to December - not because it's the end of the year or that I have the balance of my vacation days to use up (best laid plans...); December is when we usually get a fresh batch of data from Forrester's annual Enterprise And SMB Software Survey. Each year our team gets to place a few questions into this comprehensive questionnaire, and IT decision makers who have organizational responsibility for custom software development give us some insight into what their shops are doing.

Interest in case management will climb higher and higher throughout 2010. The drivers are a mix of old and new an include. The most important - there will be an increased need to manage the costs and risks of servicing customer requests — like loans, claims, and benefits. Customer experience has evolved to where fundamentals of the product are secondary. Its now about design and the personality of the experience. I tried to help my daughter buy a car the other day. The Ford Focus didn't make the cut. Why? No lighted mirror. I then knew I was in for a long process.
There is also a greater emphasis on automating and tracking inconsistent "incidents" that do not follow a well-defined process. Does homeland security come to mind? And lots of new pressure on government agencies to respond to a higher number of citizen requests. But this next one is the killer. We will see new demands from regulators, auditors, and litigants on businesses to respond to external regulations. After Bernie "made off" with 50B or so the SEC had an epiphany of sorts. Gee.Lets give the field agents more authority to investigate — and perhaps depoliticize the process. Brilliant. Lets let the folks that actually know the regulatory target actually make decisions. Well. Great. We think this will lead to a ramped up number of investigative inquires and guess what? Each one is best handled as a case where consistent policies, audit trails, and analytics can apply. Lastly, there is the increased use of collaboration and social media to support unstructured business processes.

As a growing number of executives learn how to apply Toyota's famous Lean principles and tools to improve quality and reduce costs, Toyota is making headlines. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that the company had to suspend sales of different models this week, and will halt production at their five North American factories next week, for quality reasons (see, this article for more).
The moral of the WSJ story is strikingly simple: Toyota was trying to get too big, and changed too fast. In doing this, its leaders obviously abandoned some of the principles of continuous improvement which made the Toyota brand and its Lean production system (TPS) so famous. These principles are about establishing a highly specified working environment based on mature norms to minimize quality-control variables. For example, never build a new product in a new factory with new workers.
Does this mean that Lean creates barriers to change? The answer is yes, and this is good news. Abiding by your Lean principles can protect your organization from moving too fast and making potentially unsustainable, even damaging changes. True business process transformation initiatives based on Lean focus not only on zero-defects and no-waste targets, but also look at how people work and interact to make processes and services flow. This means that for any change you plan, you will need also to allocate time and resources to build the organization and develop the skills that support the desired state of maturity.

As I mentioned in my blog post last week when discussing Informatica's acquisition of Siperian, there was a rumor that IBM was on the verge of acquiring Initiate Systems. Well today, February 3, 2010, that rumor became reality when IBM announced their intent to acquire Initiate. Financial details were not disclosed, but estimates value the deal anywhere between $300-$450 million.
In that blog post, I suggested the following reasons IBM might consider Initiate:
While I wouldn't expect IBM to validate my 2nd assumption, they did in their announcement validate my first. In their announcements, they stated "IBM has announced plans to acquire Initiate Systems, a market leader in data integrity solutions for information shared among Healthcare and Government organizations".

A couple of weeks ago IBM announced its 4th Quarter and Full-Year 2009 results. Their Growth Markets Business Unit which includes 140 of the 170 countries that IBM operates in – grew 14% in Q4 compared to 3% decreases in the Americas. For the quarter, Growth Markets represented 20% of IBM's revenue. For the year, Growth Markets were 19%, up just slightly from 18% of total IBM revenue in 2008. The signs are clear: Growth Markets are growing, even as other markets fell. Much of the success in Growth Markets has come from "Smarter Planet" solutions which are gaining traction among governments, utilities and private sectors.
NOTE: IBM's growth markets are those that show increased potential for them. They do not equate to emerging markets according to the financial world's and economic discipline's definition. But, there is much overlap.

Fellow analyst Gene Leganza wrote an excellent overview of Information Architecture, available for free via this link: http://www.forrester.com/rb/Research/topic_overview_information_architecture/q/id/55951/t/2
Gene briefly explores the misunderstanding between "Enterprise IA" and "User Experience IA." This tension was well characterized by Peter Morville almost 10 years ago (See "Big Architect, Little Architect." Personally I think it's clear that content is always in motion, and unsupported efforts to dominate and control it are doomed. People are a critical element of a successful IA project, since those who create and use information are in the best position to judge and improve its quality. Many hands make light work, as the saying goes.
For example, if you want a rich interactive search results page, you need to add some structure to your content. This can happen anytime from before the content is created (using pre-defined templates) to when it is presented to a user on the search results page. Content is different than data, a theme Rob Karel and I explored in our research on Data and Content Classification. For this reason, IA is both a "Back end" and a "Front end" initiative.

In my ongoing work with clients, I try as often as possible to stress the importance of flexibility in GRC programs. Internal processes and technology implementations must be able to accommodate the perpetually fluctuating aspects of business, compliance requirements, and risk factors. If GRC investments are made without consideration for likely requirements 1 to 2 years down the road, decision makers aren't doing their job. And if vendors don't offer that flexibility, they shouldn't be on the shortlist.
News outlets over the past year have given us almost daily examples of change in the GRC landscape. The recent stories coming out of Davos have been no exception... giving us some truly fascinating debates on the necessity and detriment of regulations. As quoted in a Wall Street Journal article on Sunday, Deutsche Bank AG Chief Executive Josef Ackermann argued against heavy-handed regulation, saying, "We should stop the blame game and we should start looking forward... if you don't have a strong financial sector to support the this recovery... you're making a huge mistake and you will regret that later on," he said. French President Nicholas Sarkozy summed up the opposing argument in his keynote, explaining, "There is indecent behavior that will no longer be tolerated by public opinion in any country of the world... That those who create jobs and wealth may earn a lot of money is not shocking. But that those who contribute to destroying jobs and wealth also earn a lot of money is morally indefensible."

(slides) María Biezma (Carleton University) and Kyle Rawlins (Johns Hopkins University) Exhaustivity across questions Constantin Freitag (ZAS, Berlin), Katja Jasinskaja (ZAS, Berlin) and Fabienne Salfner (ZAS, Berlin) Finnish -hAn and the QUD Anisa Schardl (University of Massachusetts Amherst) Workshop descriptionThe workshop focuses on the interaction of form and meaning of linguistic expressions with questions in discourse. It is well known that such an interaction exists, for instance, focus in an answer often corresponds to the wh-word in an explicit or implicit question, and some verbs can even embed overt or concealed questions. Recently, however, important progress has been achieved in this regard.On the one hand, it has been shown that questions, in particular the question under discussion, affects the interpretation of natural language utterances more deeply than previously assumed, for instance, the interpretation of discourse particles seem to strongly depend on the question under discussion (Beaver & Clark 2008) and even classical phenomena such as presupposition projection have recently been argued to depend on the question under discussion in a substantial way (Simons et al 2010). On the other hand, recent developments in Inquisitive Semantics (Groenendijk & Roelofsen 2009) suggests that the class of natural language expressions that give rise to alternatives and invite the hearer to choose between these alternative includes not only questions but also all kinds of expressions related to disjunction and indefinites. This gives a new perspective on the meaning of natural language expressions in general as suggesting one or more potential updates of the common ground, and it gives rise to new tools in pragmatics e.g. for the computation of quantity implicatures and the grammatical structure of answers. The workshop hosts both theoretical work and empirical case studies that discuss the ways in which questions can be captured in a discourse model, the interaction of questions with the interpretation of other expressions, and the inquisitive nature of disjunctive, indefinite, and interrogative constructions. |

DETROIT (AP) — All year long, Jim Leyland has kept an even keel.
The Detroit manager admitted in January he was under pressure — with his contract expiring at the end of this season — but with his team now in a fight for the AL Central title, there's been little talk of anything beyond the next few games.
"We're in the race. We've got to fix a few things, but everybody has to fix a few things," Leyland said recently. "There's no perfect team in our division. We've got a shot, you know, and that's what you want. It's going to be a good race."
It's already been an interesting season in Detroit's division. The Tigers struggled a bit at the start, but they return from the All-Star break with a half-game lead over second-place Cleveland. The Tigers host the Chicago White Sox — themselves only five games back — in a three-game series starting Friday night.
The Minnesota Twins are lurking 6 1/2 games behind Detroit.
Leyland has been hesitant to talk about the standings, especially since — after an early surge by Cleveland — no team has really taken control of the race.
"This is going to be up for grabs," Leyland said. "The Twins and White Sox are right there. Cleveland's right there." The Tigers haven't had a winning record after the All-Star break since 2000. Even in 2006, when they went to the World Series, they went 36-38 in the final half of the season and made it as a wild card.
Last year, Detroit went 33-43 after the break and finished 81-81.
The Tigers made some significant moves in the offseason, adding Victor Martinez, Brad Penny and Joaquin Benoit. Martinez leads the team with a .316 batting average, joining Miguel Cabrera and Brennan Boesch to help give Detroit a productive middle of the order.
Shortstop Jhonny Peralta and catcher Alex Avila joined Cabrera, ace Justin Verlander and closer Jose Valverde on the All-Star roster.
Cabrera left the All-Star game after hurting an oblique muscle in his side while swinging, but he said he didn't think it would keep him out when regular season play resumes.
Verlander's performance has been particularly sparkling. He's 12-4 with a 2.15 ERA, including an ERA of 0.64 since June 9. Verlander is the biggest reason the Tigers hold a division lead, however slim.
Although a handful of players are having big seasons, the Tigers aren't without problems. Brandon Inge is hitting .184 and Ryan Raburn is at .213. Aside from Verlander, none of the starters has an ERA under 4.00.
Reliever Phil Coke was put in the rotation and then moved back to the bullpen. Rookie Charlie Furbush replaced Coke in the rotation but didn't make it out of the fifth inning in either of his two starts this month.
With a veteran team built to win now, Detroit could be a prime candidate to try to improve before the trade deadline. This is also a big year for general manager Dave Dombrowski, who was rewarded in 2006 with a four-year extension that runs through 2011.
"I have a GM that is going to do everything he can to improve the club," Leyland said. "But it's not that easy to make a trade and snap your fingers and here's a special tonic to help your team."
The Tigers won four of five heading into the All-Star break, and a few of their bigger names have done a nice job recovering from poor starts — perhaps a sign that they'll be sharper in the second half. Magglio Ordonez is hitting .217 — but he's raised that average 45 points since coming off the disabled list in mid-June.
Austin Jackson hit .291 in June, and Benoit has a 1.40 ERA in his last 23 appearances.
