Every second of the day, a wealth of data stream from a global maze of social networks, smartphones, point-of-sale devices, medical records, financial transactions, automobiles, energy meters, and other digital sources. Such big data, fueled largely by personal data about all of us, represent an asset class every bit as valuable as gold or oil.
In fact, freely flowing data—infinitely generated, distributed, mined, combined, tracked, and connected—play a particularly critical role in many of the products and services that make up the Internet economy. According to The Boston Consulting Group's research, by 2016 the Internet economy will reach $4.2 trillion in value in the developed markets of the G-20, or 5.3 percent of their GDP. In these countries, the Internet economy is growing at 8 percent annually, far outpacing just about every traditional sector in many otherwise-struggling economies—and growth rates are more than twice as fast in developing markets.
Consumers are the real beneficiaries of the Internet economy. The value they place on the many Internet services that have been built atop the sharing of personal data—such as search engines, e-mail, news sites, and social-network services—reflects that benefit. Consumers value the Internet at many times more than its cost, BCG has found.
But the size of the future value and growth depends on the trust that consumers place in the use of data about them. Take the case of online retail, one small part of the personal-data ecosystem. BCG forecasts that the sector could grow by anywhere from $1.5 trillion to $2.5 trillion by 2016. That difference of $1 trillion serves as a signal for the potentially tens of trillions of dollars of economic impact at stake when other sectors, such as health care and financial services, are considered.
Despite this tremendous opportunity, risks lie just beneath the surface. Given the consistent headlines reporting security breaches, data misuse, and disruptions, consumers are growing increasingly concerned about how their data are gathered and used. However, these concerns depend on the context—who is collecting the data, how the data are being used, and (to a lesser extent) the type of data. For instance, the perception of a threat to privacy varies across industries by a factor of five to ten times as one moves from the automotive, telecommunications, and retail industries at the low end to online search and social networking at the high end.
Adding to the uncertainties are costly regulatory developments—in jurisdictions as diverse as the European Union, the U.S., and developing markets—with the potential to affect citizens and organizations far from their places of origin, as we will explore. Given the strong interest and awareness of the subject among consumers and regulators, a considerable portion of the potential opportunity could be at risk.
In an earlier report (Rethinking Personal Data: Strengthening Trust) written in partnership with the World Economic Forum, we called for a range of stakeholders to build a framework for a common understanding in dealing with the many risks and opportunities involved in this valuable new asset class. Here, in this article, we offer four clear-eyed, practical steps that business leaders across a wide range of industries can take to bring our earlier framework to fruition. Combined, these strategies can ensure that the trusted flow of personal data, which benefits consumers and businesses alike, gets strengthened rather than stifled.
Companies that effectively turn consumer information into insights mine these big-data sets to create three categories of opportunity:
Finding More Efficient Ways to Operate. Organizations in every industry are using vast amounts of digital data to streamline their operations, overhaul supply chains, improve customer service, develop products, and boost overall productivity. For example, we see $700 billion in potential health-care-cost savings in the U.S., or about 30 percent of the total U.S. health-care spending today, that would result from the improved flow of personal data, reducing duplicate lab testing and imaging, fraud, and inefficiencies as well as improving care coordination and treatment.
Increasing Returns from Existing Offerings. Businesses can leverage data to learn more about consumer interests and behavior in areas as wide ranging as pricing, sales conversion, product development, foot traffic patterns, and innovation. Here, businesses can learn something from politicians: in the 2012 U.S. presidential election, the Obama campaign used sophisticated mining and analysis of everything from demographic and consumer data to TV-viewing patterns in order to successfully turn out the vote, optimize advertising, and raise record amounts of money.
Sparking Innovative Business Models. Companies can look for areas where data can help them expand into new products and markets entirely different from where they operate now, such as through the greater use of personalization. For example, tailored insurance products are being developed on the basis not just of age, gender, and neighborhood but of data provided by devices that track driving behavior. Location-based and real-time offers could also make it simple for a customer traveling abroad to sign up for extended health or travel insurance using a mobile phone.
To realize these kinds of opportunity, organizations must understand the consumer information they already have, then identify and access any additional data they need and decide who is responsible for them. Many new data opportunities come from the serendipitous commingling of traditional data with newer, less structured forms of big data. For example, companies can combine data about how customers discuss existing products on social-media sites with traditional product-testing data.
Customer data can be a strategic asset for a company, but they can also be a major liability if misused. To be good stewards of personal data, companies must clearly understand how they manage those data.
Companies need to collect data in a way that both adheres to evolving regulations and builds customers' trust, keeping in mind the wide range of sources of data: customers who volunteer their data directly, companies that observe data as a result of an interaction between an individual and an organization, or an organization that infers data from an analysis of customer records and behavior. As companies amass data, they also have an obligation to secure them, to prevent data from being compromised or misused. The potential impacts of missteps in this area can be huge, in terms of not just the sometimes billions of dollars in damage done through the breaches themselves but also the potential legal and regulatory costs.
In addition, companies must have clear policies, protocols, and processes for how they will obtain proper permissions in a decentralized and dynamic environment in which individuals play an active role. Organizations must also ensure that they are actually following their own policies, an element that is frequently lacking.
These are all vital baseline internal requirements. To strengthen trust further, companies need to think about how they engage in a two-way external dialogue with customers and create a true understanding of how they manage increasing amounts of personal data. Current approaches to communicating with customers center on outdated notions of "notice and consent." But these traditional approaches make liars of us all: every time we click on the bottom of a 100-page privacy policy to say "I have read and understood," we are forced to lie in order to get the service we want.
One way to rethink how businesses manage personal data is to offer customers simple and meaningful opportunities to grant permission for the use of their data. A joint survey conducted by BCG and Liberty Global of more than 3,000 consumers revealed that few individuals exercise control of their personal data, however. Just 10 percent of respondents had ever undertaken at least six of eight common privacy-protecting activities, such as changing privacy settings or opting into or out of data use. Even though that remains common behavior today, we found that consumers who were able to effectively manage their privacy were up to 52 percent more willing to share information in the future than those who were not managing their privacy.
Consider how BT implemented the "cookie law" in the U.K., which requires companies to obtain the consent of their website users before using cookies to track behavior online and personalize services. To comply with the law, BT implemented easy-to-understand practices for visitors to its website. A simple pop-up screen allows users to discern the strictly necessary cookies required for the site to operate properly (from which customers do not have the right to opt out) and the functional and targeting cookies that enable social sharing and behavioral tracking but that also allow the best experience. The company clearly explained what customers get for the information they give.
National and regional governments are actively looking to legislate and regulate the personal-data ecosystem. Current regulatory approaches could fundamentally change the ways businesses use data to create value for customers and shareholders, in particular their ability to use big-data sets.
In the EU, the proposed General Data Protection Regulation would have meaningful impacts on businesses around the world. (For a summary of some of the key concerns raised, see Exhibit 2.) In the U.S., efforts with significant bottom-line results include the Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights, recent multiyear Federal Trade Commission enforcement actions against companies such as Google and Facebook, and legislative efforts related to cybersecurity. In India, a rolled-back requirement for more explicit consumer consent could have resulted in a huge blow to the nation's outsourcing industry; in other countries, the regulatory process may not necessarily seek to align with Western approaches.
Many regulators are responding to valid consumer concerns about privacy and protection. However, we see a need to engage in a multisided debate about how to strike the appropriate balance between allowing data to flow to create value for everyone and restricting that flow to protect individuals.
Ahead of the approval of the EU General Data Protection Regulation, for example, many global companies are actively working to influence aspects that could undermine many of the popular and often free offerings that depend on personal data. More specifically, businesses are beginning to establish a set of clear and contextually specific usage rules, such as voluntary industry codes of conduct, that reflect the nature of data and the specific uses of data. The complexity of developing an actionable and lasting framework is increasing awareness of the need to collaborate across industries and jurisdictions and to help educate policymakers and regulators about the world of big data. We have found that many regulators are open to a multisided dialogue to help solve these issues together.
All these efforts point to an overarching message: there is less and less difference emerging between strategy and policy. Major Internet players have already seen how regulatory efforts can have a big impact on their corporate strategy. Other companies will increasingly need to understand how the policy world will define or restrict their strategies as well.
It is clear that data represent a significant opportunity. In fact, we estimate that leveraging personal data can be a key driver of growth in many of the world's economies.
Given the size of the prize and the potential brand risk for the business from getting things wrong, personal-data management cannot sit within one group in the company. It needs to be deeply embedded in the company as a whole, especially in the C suite.
Typically, issues involving personal data are dealt with at a rung or two down the ladder from the C suite, often at the level of the chief privacy, legal, or compliance officer. The approach is one of compliance and risk management, rather than proactive leveraging of personal data to create strategic value.
It is no longer enough for CEOs to delegate this issue to their security, government affairs, and privacy executives. Top executives need to realize that data lie at the core of new business opportunities, efficiency gains, and corporate strategy in the digital economy. Ultimately, we maintain that the personal-data opportunity is so great and the downside of mismanaging personal data is so large that the entire C suite of a company must engage with these issues as the top priorities they are.
A trillion-dollar opportunity has opened up for businesses to create value from personal data. These benefits will flow to shareholders, customers, and society at large. But to treat personal data as a valuable asset class, businesses need to understand the ways in which such data work. They must also ensure that there are appropriate rules and processes around the use and management of personal data so that the risks are properly mitigated. For data to flow freely, businesses must begin to rebuild customers' trust, from the top.

This is to let you know about another real-life mobile app:
1&1, one of the world's largest web hosting providers, has successfully launched an Android app, implemented with qooxdoo mobile. The "Cloud Server Management" app allows you to manage your 1&1 dynamic cloud servers: get their current status, install new operating systems, configure CPU, RAM or HDD, shutdown and reboot them, and so on.
Development of the app had a significant benefit from reusing existing code from a similar qooxdoo RIA prototype. This not only reduced development time, but showed once again the advantages of qooxdoo's multi-platform feature. In short, you implement the fundamental app logic in a clean MVC style, atop of a REST-based transport layer. You then can reuse this common code base and put either a mobile or a RIA view on top.
Packaging of the 1&1 Cloud Server Management app was done via Phonegap, and the resulting native app was published to the Android Market (now called Google Play). This mobile app is another good example, that you can already leverage qooxdoo's mobile features for production use, despite much of it still being labeled experimental. Of course, the mobile world keeps spinning fast in general, thus give qooxdoo mobile a try and help improving it, e.g. file bug reports or contribute code.

Magic Johnson has dared to say what just about everyone is thinking in Los Angeles. With the Donald Sterling scandal being hashed out in the headlines, the ownership of the LA Clippers has been debated especially after Shelly Sterling has suggesting she isn't giving up ownership of the team. According to USA Today on Friday, Magic Johnson weighed in on why the Sterling family needs to sell the team.
Shelly Sterling has made her decision known that she has no intentions of selling her share of the LA Clippers. According to Complex on Friday, her attorneys came out to defend her property rights and ownership. Laying out the groundwork for an epic battle in court, it might be a long time before the NBA team gets a final answer on what will happen. This definitely will impact corporate sponsorship too.
"All the sponsors pulling out, they will pull out for good if she is owning it. It's not going to be the same," said Magic Johnson talking about the Sterling connection to the team.
The wrinkle of pushing out Donald Sterling became a headache for the NBA after Shelly Sterling announced she was going to be part of the team after his departure. Whether the NBA thought the situation through before their ban surrounding the scandal is unknown, but it has set up a match that local residents know is going to court.
There has been plenty of chatter about this issue of who can stay as owners and most people agree that the Sterling family needs to leave. This harsh reality might be the only way the community supports the LA Clippers once again.
The current support of the LA Clippers in the playoffs has fans, both celebrities and local residents cheering on the team. The reserved actions are only on court and every night on local TV the debate about the scandal continues and the latest details are reported.
Magic Johnson is one of the few sport celebrity figures who has come out to say the team needs a fresh start. How this will happen is unknown and most people wonder how long it might take too.

Better Branding for Small Supermarkets (Part 3 of 3)
Posted in Articles, Brands and Branding, Retail Branding on Jun 21st, 2010
In post one and post two of this three-part series, I talked about ways that smaller chains of supermarkets can compete effectively with the large chains, mass merchandisers and club stores that dominate the supermarket channel. And I began to describe some of the marketing and brand related aspects of store operations that smaller operators can use to build customer loyalty and increase bottom line profits.
In this final post, I'll review three more ways you can get the jump on your competition and draw some useful conclusions for your consideration.
Web Site
Like it or not, the Internet has changed the world. A well-designed Web site that engages, informs and assists your customers is no longer an option. Properly conceived, it can become the hub of your store's brand communications. While that's a long term consideration, it can also support your ongoing sale and promotion efforts.
Too many small markets have outdated and largely irrelevant Web strategies. But the truth is that huge numbers of consumers have learned to use the Web to improve their efficiency, shop more intelligently, communicate with their retailers, communicate about their retailers, and deepen their ties to trusted brands like yours. And because the Internet enables engagement within communities, it's especially suited to the branding needs of local businesses.
But don't kid yourself. Building a Website with customer relevance takes strong internal will and commitment. Planning and execution are both involved phases. You'll need a Web development partner who's demonstrated ability in both areas and you'll need to follow their lead to get good results. One retailer we've worked with scaled back other advertising and marketing efforts for a year to free up the resources to pay for the effort. Remember, a Web site is a long term investment that will pay dividends and leverage the value of your other marketing dollars as time goes on. So if you're going to do it, do it right!
E-mail Marketing
Once your Web site is up and running, you can leverage your online presence with an ongoing e-mail program targeting your regular customers. It's the 21st century equivalent of the store circular, only far less expensive and with greater functionality.
Each e-mail can publicize your special offers. But it can also provide links to different pages of your Web site: special recipes, blog posts (if you're blogging), upcoming events, community happenings, and more!
There are many good ways to build a list of e-mail addresses. And there are companies that specialize in managing e-mail distribution. But the truth is that there are also very inexpensive online programs you can administer yourself once you've designed your e-blast template. Constant Contact and Emma are just a couple that come to mind. (This e-mail reached you by virtue of Constant Contact software.)
Trend Watching
Today health, simplicity, eco-consciousness and time constraints are very significant factors in consumer behavior. Have you done anything lately to show you're in sync with their concerns? Could you add or develop an in store expert on wellness? What have you done to improve the checkout experience? Have you taken simple steps to make your business more green?
One way to start is to develop conversations with customers. Ask them what's important to them and how you can make your store more valuable to them. Reward them for making suggestions. Reward employees for engaging customers and soliciting feedback. Any time you implement something that addresses a concern or issue shared by a significant portion of your customers, publicize it in your advertising and in-store communications. You'll strengthen your customers' trust and deepen the bonds your store's brand enjoys.
Why Wait?
The only thing certain is change. Sometimes it's forced upon us. Sometimes we can act purposefully. The economy is currently in flux. Fortunately, it hasn't been as bad a ride for most supermarket operators as for other businesses. But your competition isn't sleeping. Fundamental changes in store strategy are taking place at all levels. If the ideas discussed here makes sense, maybe they're worth your consideration. The market that plans ahead with a good understanding of its alternatives has a great opportunity to solidify and grow its market position. A brand communications expert who's worked with businesses like yours can help you explore the options.
What do you think of the ideas I've proposed? Feel free to use the comment box below to state your view or start a conversation!

Hey, there's Bangkok!
Originally uploaded by goingdomestic
We've been fortunate. Living outside of Bangkok, our lives haven't been much affected by the protest movement. Sure, I was without my computer for about six weeks because I thoughtlessly took it to a service place in the city, but I did get it back, repaired. Traffic was often crazier than usual, so I canceled a doctor's appointment awhile back and rescheduled at a clinic closer to our apartment. The Thai schools have been closed here since Monday, and I think that the only international school open this week was Madeline's, and it's finally closing tomorrow. With the rioting in the city, the adminstrators don't know if it would be safe to run the buses tomorrow. I'm thankful that they stayed open as long as they did. Life was pretty much going on normally here.
I stepped into Villa Market after dinner with my girls this evening; I needed a liter of milk for tomorrow's breakfast. As soon as I stepped inside, I knew that something was wrong. There were no shopping carts left in their corner. The shelves where loaves of bread usually are was totally bare, the bananas were all gone, and the dairy section was looking meager. I bought the milk I needed, but left wondering if the other shoppers who were intent on buying out everything in the store knew something that I didn't . I was going to go back tomorrow to pick up eggs and a little something for dinner, but I don't know if Villa will be open, or if anything would be left.

Stein Eriksen has an easy answer when asked about his favorite ski run at Deer Valley Resort.
It is Bald Mountain's Stein's Way. It starts as an advanced intermediate run, turns into an expert one for a bit and then ends as an intermediate run at the bottom of the Sultan Express lift.
The run is named in honor of Eriksen, who remains the best-known figure at Deer Valley as he approaches his 85th birthday on Dec. 11.
Eriksen is one of the skiing legends around Park City, and one of the city's earliest, even though he never competed for the United States. He won the gold medal in the giant slalom in the 1952 Winter Olympics, held in his native country of Norway. He followed his Olympic victory with three gold medals -- slalom, giant slalom and combined -- in the World Ski Championships in Sweden two years later.
He recalls signing a one-page contract after his racing days with Edgar Stern, the owner of what was then known as the Park City Ski Area. Eriksen had already made several stops teaching skiing at other American resorts. Eriksen followed him when Stern later opened Deer Valley Resort as a ski mountain that would provide top-shelf service to the skiers.
Eriksen has been associated with Deer Valley Resort since its opening day in 1981. He is the director of skiing and is often spotted on the slopes guiding other skiers across the mountains. He is also the namesake of the Stein Eriksen Lodge in Deer Valley.
"We are the best and will always remain the best," Eriksen said about Deer Valley Resort on Monday, as the resort prepared to open for the 2012-2013 ski season on Saturday.
Deer Valley will start the season on Saturday with as many as 10 lifts operating and probably more than 12 runs open.
The annual Celebrity SkiFest is scheduled on Saturday and Sunday. The resort Jan. 30-Feb. 2 is slated to host a freestyle skiing World Cup, continuing to build on its legacy from the 2002 Winter Olympics.
The resort was ranked second in this year's Ski Magazine list of the best resorts in North America, breaking a five-year streak as No. 1. Eriksen noted Deer Valley's attentive service, something that has won the resort some of its greatest accolades.
Eriksen expects to ski this weekend and said he will probably log 40 or so days on the slopes during the season. He talks of skiing being a sport enjoyed with friends and family. He sees his role at Deer Valley being to instill the love of skiing in people.
"If they are not enthused enough, I will inspire them to get even more enthused," Eriksen said.
And Eriksen sightings are not limited to Stein's Way. Other favorite runs of his are Perseverance and Keno.
More information about Deer Valley's opening is available on the resort's website, www.deervalley.com .

Farrah Abraham is no longer a "Teen Mom" star, but she is still busy making headlines. The former reality show star is making waves in the adult film industry, but continues to insist that she is not an adult film star, rather referring to herself as a sex symbol according to a May 30 report from "In Touch."
In a recent interview, Farrah Abraham made the declaration saying, "Personally, making a sex tape, and that's all I've ever done, that's not being a porn star. I live a very different life than what adult entertainers live, so I can't help what the public perceives."
However, making an adult film is not the only thing that the former "Teen Mom" star has done. She also ventured into the adult toy business, creating her own line of toys that adults can use while being intimate with one another. While making the line of toys, Farrah Abraham even allowed cameras to capture the process, something that fans weren't exactly happy about.
Despite all of this, it seems that this is how Farrah chooses to live her life and that is fine. She has now opted to write erotic fiction which is definitely better than making an adult film or an adult film line, but still a little questionable. Perhaps that is why MTV reportedly cut her from a new "Teen Mom" show which is rumored to include original cast members Maci Bookout, Amber Portwood, and Catelynn Lowell (who is now pregnant.)
Even though she may not be included in a new MTV show, Farrah Abraham doesn't seem to care. The entrepreneur is busy celebrating her 23rd birthday with a guest list full of celebrities according to a May 31 report from Wetpaint. The site lists some potential guests as fellow reality show stars and perhaps some entertainers that Farrah has worked with in the past.
About turning 23, Farrah told the site, ""I'm just excited to turn 23, have an amazing party, and birthday week here in New York."
It is hard to believe that Farrah Abraham is only turning 23, but it is important to remember that she has been in the spotlight since she was only a 16. Back then, she was busy letting cameras follow her as she struggled to raise her young daughter. These days, the cameras still follow her and every once in a while she gives her fans a look at how things are going in her personal life, including with her daughter.

Comments about Terra Fi Lite:
Your lines seem to be geared to women who only want a certain look, without function. Teva used to make outstanding women's sandals. I have a pair that are 15 years old which I can't seem to wear out. I wore them hiking and even backpacking in the Colorado Rockies, I bought a pair of the Terra FI Lights, hoping I could use them in the Bavarian Alps, but sadly, they are not tough enough to handle even a smooth trail. It's unfortunate that Teva believes that there are not enough women athletes out there to make a sandal that is comparable to a man's sandal. You need to rethink your product line for women.

A project I'm working on requires serializing a data structure before shutting down and restores its state from this serialized data when it start up again.
Last year, we were building for .NET 1.1, and ran into a tricky issue where
- our code ran on .NET 2.0
- a customer upgraded with some software that somehow set 1.1 as default
- our code ran on .NET 1.1 and was unable to deserialize its stored state
This particular issue was "resolved" by barring that particular software upgrade, and shouldn't be a problem now that we're targeting the .NET 2.0 framework (so we can't possibly run on 1.1).
What is the chance that this serialization could again change incompatibly between, 2.0 and newer frameworks? If we use
<supportedVersion> to fix our code to 2.0.50727, what are the chances of changes between 2.0.50727.1434 and 2.0.50727.nnnn (some future release)? The data structures being serialized are arrays, maps, strings, et cetera from the standard class libraries.
Additionally, is it guaranteed that a 2.0.50727 framework will be always installed even after further .NET upgrades? Pointers to Microsoft documentation welcome.

Someone call the water
It's freezing up the spokes
Like any deal or device
It worked until it broke
Whistle past the graveyard
Where the river runs uphill
Let us juice the roundheels
No ink is gonna spill
Your insiders - Newborn spiders
Starve the sentry - Clear re-entry
Thoroughbreds who should be dead
Run faster 'round the track
All the swans down at the pond
Are turning turning black
Crumpled up and sodden
Receipts upon the floor
Trodden on and trampled in
The stampede to the door
Dance between the raindrops
And cue the violins
All the river-boaters know
The killer always wins

Some of the biggest risks in managing your small business are, at least partly, hidden from easy view and, therefore, often overlooked. Start the New Year with a thoughtful review of how to prepare for something going badly awry in your organization. Let's begin with a global overview.
Business insurance giant Allianz just published their annual Business Risk Barometer for 2014, rank-ordering the likelihood of 26 different business-affecting issues which could negatively impact organizations in the U.S. The accompanying photo lists separately the top 10 risks globally. The original pdf (from which this graph was copied) can be downloaded directly at
http://www.agcs.allianz.com/assets/PDFs/Reports/Allianz-Risk-Barometer-2014_EN.pdf or from my LinkedIn profile: http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=20671483&locale=en_US&trk=tab_pro
The opportunity for CEOs/General Managers is to make a realistic assessment of the impact of each of the 26 risks NOW and think through how you would deal with each if it arises. Two factors will determine how successful you are if any of these glitches pop up:
- If you plan ahead (with a Plan "A" and a Plan "B"), you'll have the advantage of calm thinking and preparation instead of panicky "putting-out-fires" decisions, many of which may be short-term in their focus; and
- If you commit to writing your contingency plans, you'll have a ready and uniform way to communicate to your colleagues/subordinates what direction(s) you're taking to deal with a situation. An informed team, armed with shared information, can be just the powerhouse you need in crisis.
On Jan 15, 2014, Fox Business News analyst Donna Fuscaldo published a meaningful alert under the headline "5 Risks to your Business not in plain Sight" (smallbusiness.foxbusiness.com). She builds a good case for preparation for these risks:
- Loss of Critical Employees: retention should be a high priority for managers who recognize that your labor force is your biggest asset, along with planning well in advance for retirements.
- Fraudulent Supplier Charges (as well as competitor/employee theft): monitor your data and invoices, and have a reaction plan if fraud is found.
- Employee Absence due to Weather, etc: remote work/telecommuting, with attendant security, should be available if your employees can't come to you due to a storm or your office isn't habitable.
- Shutdown of Suppliers: learn your vendors' contingency plans in case they're involuntarily shut down.
- Too Much Business in a Short Time: this is a problem you may dream for, but without an organized way to respond to an influx of business, overloading the boat could turn into sinking the ship.
A comment on Number 5: your competitor need not be your enemy. I've seen some great examples of teamwork between competitors when one faces a problem. I recall a packaging company in L.A. which produced labeled, retail boxes on 6-color Heidelberg presses. A direct competitor a few miles away did the same thing, but with different model presses. The two companies each trained their production people on both sets of presses and, in a pinch, were usually able to fit orders in on the other's equipment during third shift and/or weekends, always under the supervision of an employee of the host facility. It cost them some overtime and supervisory time, but by picking-and-choosing which orders to work elsewhere, they were each able to retain accounts over time.
Mark Walker writing on business2community.com on Jan 6, 2014, titled his article "The Silent Killers: Three IT Dangers That Could Ruin your Business. His premise was that IT can make or break your business, and he identified three "company killers:"
- Onsite: keeping intellectual property on your own server is an invitation to theft or loss. A 2013 Symantec survey of small-and-medium size businesses revealed 44% would lose at least 40% of their data in a disaster impacting their server.
- Outage: your server, your network, individual PCs, or specific programs used by your staff may fail, leaving you unable to access vital information. The same Symantec survey found the median cost to a small business of downtime from an outage is $13,000, while a Federal Government study concluded that 25% of small businesses will not survive a major IT disaster.
- Outdated Software: old software is generally slower, more limited in functionality, more costly to maintain, and offers less intellectual property protection than current versions. IDC Research found that an organization employing 1,000 knowledge workers loses an average of $5.3-mil annually if users can't retrieve the information they need. How would that translate to your 100 or 10 workers?
So, what to do with this information? You can read it, say it's interesting, and move on to something else. Or, you can use it. It may well be that not each of these items applies to your situation, but how do you know for sure? I suggest this is the perfect opportunity to utilize an interdepartmental committee, even in a small organization. Different priorities and viewpoints can spark dialogue which is the most profitable means of problem prevention and resolution. And a group lunch or dinner will be appreciated by the people who put forth the effort to look at all aspects of your organization, prioritize the issues, and make recommendations to both prevent and fix each one. But, the most important thing you can do is to not just move on after reading this. Create some kind of action plan, involve some of your people, and then make timely decisions on what you are going to do and implement them. Leave the catastrophe out there on the horizon for the guy down the street. Work smarter while he works harder.

I'm just SOOOOO glad that these guys stuck only with "issues" at hand, as it were, and not showing us any other two irrelevant "un-bondable" things in one piece. You know, those things that normally don't mesh together in life...
I guess I'm thinking about that dental floss print campaign that Saatchi/NY did a little while ago. There are some visual similarities here. But their argument was simply absurd and the things shown were utterly irrelevant. Girls'NightOut/9am Meeting, Manhattan/Rent, ect, etc. It's a fuckin' dental floss ad, ferchrissake!!
I'm sure these guys have thought about that angle during the concepting period, too. But they had the smarts not to go off on a creative tangent and keep things in perspective to the product advertised.
What?!!!!! I don't agree with what I read up here, I mean, the campaign is o.k., but nothing outstanding. Someone said that it's so good just because they keep in the product area with the arguments and words are directly linked to the benefit. Ok, for me that's exactly what makes brilliant the work of the guys at Saatchi Ny: they escaped from the obvious, and used no "irrelevant" issues (as someone said in some lines up) but so smart ways of comunicating the product benefit without talking of it, just talking of real and clear problems that everybody knews. And everything was just perfectly clear. Now that's brilliant.
These are clear and simple. That's all.
I was right! Take a look here:
A previous glue ad from DDB (although not from Milan) with a puzzle instead of crosswords! What next? Game cards, game sticks, roulette?
This is the only one that really talked to me. Knowing that window frames are made of aluminum and glass, this is probably the best of the three. Don't really know where I would see leather bonded with plastic. Good ad, but I wouldn't say brilliant.
The concept is only as good as the execution.
Guena perla white!!!!

Flickr with your new Nseries Nokia
At the Open Studio event in Berlin Nokia today introduced a number of new Nseries mobile phones/Multimedia computers Nokia N72, N73 and N93. These phones come packed with multimedia features like digital cameras, music players Wi-Fi connectivity and other goodies.
However new phones were only part of the event. Another part of Open Studio was dedicated to the things you could do with these phones. And one new service that you will get when you buy new Nokia Nseries phone in July is Flickr.
Now, people who wanted to, had the ability to upload their pictures to the Web since the first cameraphones were introduced, so nothing is very ground breaking here. However with the Flickr integration between on Nokia phones the process becomes much easier.
All you have to do is create account on Flickr, enter login data into new Nokia Nseries phone and you are set. "Publish to Flickr� link/button appears on your cameraphone menu or in Image Gallery application you press the button and you are done. Another supported feature is the ability to add comments to the photos that are uploaded from the Nokia Nseries device.
And the ease of use is a key to wide consumer adoption, so we can expect a lot of new photos and ways of using these multimedia devices in the future.

Benny Goodman: And the Angels Sing
And The Angels Sing
Benny Goodman (clarinet)
The Very Best of Benny Goodman (RCA 63730)
Benny Goodman (clarinet), Ziggy Elman (trumpet), Martha Tilton (vocals), Jess Stacy (piano),
Chris Griffin, Irving Goodman (trumpet); Red Ballard, Vernon Brown (trombone); Hymie Schertzer, Noni Bernardi (alto sax); Jerry Jerome, Arthur Rollini (tenor saxes), Ben Heller (guitar), Harry Goodman (bass), Buddy Schutz (drums).
Composed by Ziggy Elman & Johnny Mercer.
Recorded: New York, February 1, 1939
Rating: 93/100 (learn more)
Ziggy Elman ranks high on the list of shamefully overlooked jazz trumpeters. Great section players aren't always the best soloists, but Elman was both. His self-composed feature with Benny Goodman's big band is actually back-to-back pieces. First, Martha Tilton sings what seems like a fairly innocuous 1930s pop song. Then, out of the blue, the band breaks into a riotous klezmer dance (upon which, it turns out, Elman's melody is based). The intended effect is as jarring as a staid goyish wedding reception suddenly overrun by high-spirited Jewish party crashers. This is so unabashedly good-humored, political correct- ness does not apply.

Former "X Factor" Australia judges Kyle Sandilands and Mel B (also known as Melanie Brown) are competing against each other on rival radio shows in Australia. On Jan. 19, 2014, Sandilands took the rivalry to a personal level when he attacked the credibility of Mel B by saying that she's lying about how long she will be staying with her radio show.
Sandilands and his longtime sidekick Jackie O used to host 2Day FM's morning show in Australia. They left to launch their own morning show on Kiis FM. The morning show on 2Day FM is now hosted by Mel B, Merrick Rosso, Sophie Monk and Jules Lund.
Sandilands started the feud with Mel B when he told the Daily Telegraph: "I know that already for a fact, she's only there for three months."
Mel B denied it in an interview with News.com.au, by saying, "I'm definitely on it longer than three months."
According to News.com.au, Sandliands responded by telling the website on Jan. 19, 2014: "She's lying. She is on a three-month deal. Whether they extend that or not, I don't know. Whether she'll want to do breakfast radio on a low-rating station in Sydney while she's touring America doing 'America's Got Talent' in Michigan I doubt very much."
Mel B (who is also known as Scary Spice from the Spice Girls) became a judge on NBC's "America's Got Talent" in 2013. NBC has announced that Mel B, Howard Stern, Howie Mandel and Heidi Klum will continue to be judges on "America's Got Talent" in 2014.
Sandilands was a judge on "The X Factor" Australia in 2010. He quit the show because he said he wanted to focus on his radio career. Sandilands was a judge on "Australia's Got Talent" from 2010 to 2013, which was most likely his last year on the show since "Australia's Got Talent" is headed toward cancellation due to low ratings.
Sandliands was replaced on "The X Factor" Australia by Mel B, who was a judge on "The X Factor" Australia in 2011 and 2012. She left the show to become a judge on "America's Got Talent." In 2013, Dannii Minogue replaced Mel B on "The X Factor" Australia. Minogue was a judge on "Australia's Got Talent" from 2007 to 2012, and a judge on "The X Factor" U.K. from 2007 to 2010.

This Under Armour hunting shirt is the perfect upland game hunting shirt. This is the perfect shirt because the signature moisture transport technology will pull the sweat off of you and keep you cool. The only thing getting hot out in the field should be your dog and your gun. This shirt is constructed from a blend of cotton and nylon that's treated with ArmourBlock antimicrobial. This antimicrobial UA long sleeve shirt will inhibit the growth of odor causing bacteria that will keep you from having stinky clothes when you're done hunting. Unlike most upland game shirts, this one has a Storm DWR water repellent that will help you in light rain or morning dew. Few people hunt during a downpour, so it's mostly unnecessary for an upland jacket to be completely waterproof. Complete waterproofing takes away from the moisture-wicking and breathability in shirts and jackets. Take the next step towards having the best possible hunts. Pick up one of these performance Under Armour field hunting shirts today!

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
Norwich City are eyeing an ambitious move for Sporting Lisbon striker Ricky van Wolfswinkel - who has also been linked with Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool - reports Sky Sports.
Canaries boss Chris Hughton is eager to add to his attacking department at Carrow Road this month, and has already seen two bids for Celtic's Gary Hooper turned down.
The 23-year-old arrived in Portugal from FC Utrecht in his homeland in the summer of 2011, and has earned rave reviews after a series of impressive performances for Sporting over the past 18 months.
Spurs and Liverpool were both believed to be keeping tabs on Van Wolfswinkel in the summer, but that was prior to the respective arrivals of Andre Villas-Boas and Brendan Rodgers at White Hart Lane and Anfield.
It's not clear whether either Tottenham or Liverpool still hold an interest in the player, paving way for Norwich to make a bid unchallenged, and complete what could prove to be a significant transfer coup for the Premier League club.
With Sporting struggling in eighth spot in the Portuguese Primera Liga this season, they could face a fight to retain his signature if an offer comes in during this month's transfer window.

30970QLD Certificate I in Work Readiness and 30971QLD Certificate I in Work Education - Accreditation for these courses will expire on 31 December 2013 and accreditation will not be renewed. Provisions to teach out current students may be available. Affected registered training organisations should contact their registering body for further information.
30981QLD Certificate II in Workplace Practices the Australian Skills Quality Authority has approved an amendment to update the following superseded training package unit of competency with the current, equivalent version of the unit from within the endorsed BSB07 Business Services Training Package:
BSBOHS201A Participate in OHS processes now BSBWHS201A Contribute to health and safety of self and others.
All registered training organisations delivering 30981QLD Certificate II in Workplace Practices should ensure that they use the amended course now available on this website.
Support Resources
The following resources have been developed to support schools deliver the re-accredited Certificates in Work Education:
Course code: 30971QLD
Certificate I in Work Education is a course of study which prepares students for a first experience in the workplace. The course will assist young people to gain generic employability skills required by industry of an entry-level employee.
The core learnings comprise a study in:
Certificate I in Work Education may be appropriately offered in the upper middle school as well as to post compulsory aged students.
Course code: 30970QLD
Certificate I in Work Readiness enables Registered Training Organisations to implement individualised educational programs for learners who lack basic work readiness skills. This training product facilitates access to entry-level training by students with special needs, including students with disabilities or with low written literacy and numeracy skills. The course incorporates opportunities for students to gain generic employability skills. The knowledge and skills acquired comprise generic industry competency requirements identified by employers as the base-line entry-level point for positions requiring limited technical competence to complete routine tasks under direct supervision.
Course code: 30981QLD
AQF Level: 2
Certificate II in Workplace Practices is designed to give students the knowledge and skills they will need to 'hit the ground running' and to make a positive impression when they first enter employment.
The model on which Certificate II in Workplace Practices was developed, involved pre-work placement, work placement and post-work placement.
To assist the effective implementation of the structured work placement, a Student Log Book has been developed and is included as a non-endorsed component of Certificate II in Workplace Practices:
The three Work Education Certificate courses were first developed for Education Queensland, the Association of Independent Schools Queensland Inc. and the Queensland Catholic Education Commission with the assistance of funding provided by the Commonwealth Government through ANTA and DETYA. They were accredited as training products under the Australian Recognition Framework in 1999. Extensions of accreditation were granted to 31 December 2006. Following a review in 2005, the three courses were updated in 2006 and reaccredited, for the period 13 September 2006 to 13 September 2011.
The courses were reaccredited in 2011 by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) as the delegate for the Queensland Training and Employment Recognition Council. Accreditation for the Certificate I courses is valid from 13 September 2011 until 31 December 2013 and the Certificate II in Workplace Practices is registered from 29 November 2011 to 28 November 2016.
The courses have been assessed in accordance with the:
The Queensland Studies Authority (QSA), as a delegate of the Training and Employment Recognition Council (TERC), registers schools to deliver and assess VET for students in Years 10, 11 and 12 in Certificates I-IV in non-apprenticeship qualifications. Visit the QSA website to apply for registration as an RTO to deliver accredited courses.

The first period saw the Engineers on their heels in allowing four power plays to Princeton, but the Engineers played strong. They allowed only four total shots, and only one on the four power plays, while getting 12 shots of their own.
In the second period Brad Farynuk fired a hard shot from the blueline past Princeton goaltender Eric Leroux to give the Engineers the 1-0 lead, but the Tigers answered with five tallies in the span of 8:41 to take a 5-1 lead after two periods of play.
Dustin Sproat, Mark Masters and Luc Paquin scored — Paquin's chasing Engineer goaltender Andrew Martin — and Neil Stevenson-Moore scored twice, his second coming against Jordan Alford.
Sproat jammed in a rebound past Martin 46 seconds after Farynuk scored and 1:46 later Masters fired a shot that eluded Martin. 1:37 later Stevenson-Moore scored on a rebound out front and that was followed by a wristshot from 40 feet out by Paquin, which spelled the end of the night for Martin. Stevenson-Moore deflected a shot by Mike Moore past Alford for the fifth Princeton goal.
"We weren't very happy with what we did in the first, and some of the guys challenged themselves," said Princeton head coach Guy Gadowsky. "We came out, got a couple of lucky ones and rolled from there."
The third period belonged to the Engineers, but they only managed to score once.
Kevin Croxton made it 5-2 on a nice transition play up ice. Oren Eizenman took the puck up ice, sent it over to Jake Luthi. His backpass was one-timed by Croxton past Leroux. Croxton's goal was his first goal since November 19 when he scored against Yale. He had gone 22 games without one.
Leroux made 30 saves for the win while Martin made eight saves and Alford nine in relief.
"There's not much you can say about those eight or nine minutes," said Engineer coach Dan Fridgen. "I thought we started off well, allowed four power plays and four shots and then they get five goals on 12. That, I can't explain."
The loss, combined with Union's win tonight over Yale, means that RPI will finish 11th in the ECAC for the second time in three years and also have a 20-loss regular season for the second time in three years. The Engineers are locked into their playoff matchup as they will travel to Brown for next week's first round ECAC playoff series.
Meanwhile Princeton will finish 10th, but their playoff opponent is to be determined. They will either be on the road against St. Lawrence, Union or Clarkson.

The Gazette
NEW ALBANY — The remarkable run is over.
Medina entered the Ohio Schoolgirls Lacrosse Association Division I state semifinals Friday against a familiar but not-so-friendly foe, and third-ranked Sycamore got its revenge by upending the three-time defending champion with a convincing yet stunning 10-3 victory.
The Aviators, who lost to the Bees in last year's semis, advance to face top-ranked Upper Arlington today at 12:30, while second-ranked Medina finishes 14-1-2.
"They tore us apart," Bees coach Amanda Wilson said. "They found the holes. They pulled away our low defenders that normally clog up the lanes and they took that away from us."
Sycamore was riding high after beating No. 4 Mason in the regional finals and showed no signs of faltering, as it exploded to a four-goal lead within the opening 10 minutes.
The Bees defense looked porous, as it seemed like every shot was sneaking past goalkeeper Amanda Getto. It could have been worse, but Sycamore had two potential goals waived off.
The slow start was nothing new to Wilson.
"Yes, that's our Achilles heal," she said.
The Bees offense came to life 12 minutes in with a goal from Sierra Thomas. Amanda Rom followed 4 minutes later to cut the deficit to 4-2, but as quickly as Medina inched closer, the Aviators reversed the fortune with two scores.
The Bees struggled keeping track of the patient Aviators, who effectively waited for opportune times to flash in front of Getto for some beautiful feeds and shots. While Medina's defenders tried to track the ball in a matchup zone, Sycamore countered with a highly effective man-to-man.
Leading 7-2 at halftime, the Aviators remained patient and worked the clock to perfection. Following a defensive penalty, Sycamore added its 8th goal and made it 9-2 roughly 3 minutes later.
"That Sycamore team is a great team," said Wilson, whose team won just 3-of-14 draws. "They're extremely disciplined. They're smart. They knew when to start to kill the clock and when to use the clock against us."
Medina seniors Sierra Thomas, Erin Stacho, Halle Pittman, Megan Wolfgang, Allison Snyder and Amanda Getto finish their careers with one of the best four-year records in Ohio history.
"I don't think anyone in the state — maybe even all athletics in the state — has been able to accomplish what this senior class has done," Wilson said. "They will always hold a special place in my heart. They were the first girls there when I started coaching, and they get better every year. It's remarkable."

Ankylosing Spondylitis, Radiologic Perspective
Ankylosing Spondylitis Overview
Ankylosing spondylitis is a type of arthritis that is due to inflammation of multiple joints, characteristically the spinal facet joints and the sacroiliac joints at the base of the spine. While it tends to affect these joints and the soft tissues around the spine, other joints may also be affected as well as tissues around the joints (entheses, where tendons and ligaments attach to bone). This disorder frequently results in bony ankylosis (or fusion). The term ankylosing is derived from the Greek word ankylos, which means stiffening of a joint. Spondylos means vertebra (or spine). Spondylitis refers to inflammation of one or more vertebrae. Ankylosing spondylitis is usually a chronic and progressive form of arthritis. Ankylosing spondylitis may also involve areas of the body other than the joints, such the eyes, heart, and lungs.
Ankylosing spondylitis is very rare. The frequency in the United States is similar to that of the rest of the world. Ankylosing spondylitis primarily affects young males. Males are more likely to have ankylosing spondylitis than females. Most people with the disease develop it at age 15-35 years, with an average age of 26 years at onset.
Ankylosing Spondylitis Causes
Although the exact cause is unknown, ankylosing spondylitis is believed to be due to combination of a genetic influence and a triggering environmental factor. Most patients with ankylosing spondylitis have the tissue antigen human leukocyte antigen B27 (HLA-B27). People with ankylosing spondylitis often have a family history of the disease.

3.16.09 - Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon Adds New 5K Event to Race Weekend Activities
Race slated to benefit Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation
CLEVELAND (March 16, 2009) – The 2009 Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon, Half Marathon & 10K will add a new 5K race to its race weekend events, benefiting the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF).
Scheduled to take place Saturday, May 16 at 8:30 a.m., the new 5K (3.1 mile) course will begin and end at Shooter's in the Flats, where a post-race party will be held immediately following the race, offering food, music and entertainment to participators and the public alike.
"This is a great opportunity for anyone to participate in the race weekend events," said Ralph Staph, Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon race director. "Runners can use this race to stretch their legs before Sunday's longer events or, if athletes feel they are not quite ready for a long-distance run, this is a chance to get out and participate at any speed."
To register for the 5K race, visit the Cleveland Marathon's website at www.clevelandmarathon.com where registration will be available online until May 13. Late registration and packet pick-up will be held at the Health and Fitness Expo, Friday, May 15, at the Cleveland Convention Center from 11:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.
Parking for the 5K event and post-race party is free in the Nautica Pavilion parking lot located on the West Bank of the Flats near the Powerhouse.
Those interested in participating in any other weekend events, including the Kids' Run on Saturday, and the 10K, half marathon or full marathon on Sunday, May 17, can also register on the marathon's website or call 800-467-3826.
Participants of the 5K race will have the opportunity to raise funds to benefit the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation, or any other charity of their choice. The Cleveland Marathon will also donate a portion of proceeds to the MMRF.
Multiple myeloma is an incurable cancer of the plasma cell. It is the second most common blood cancer. As the world's number-one funder of multiple myeloma research, the MMRF has raised more than to $110 million to fund 70 laboratories. Tracy Carloss, WEWS Channel 5 weekend news anchor, will be participating in the 5K and serving as official race starter. An avid MMRF supporter, Carloss' mother is a multiple myeloma survivor.

From Rotman "Introduction to the Theory of Groups", ex. 2:54:
Let $ G $ be a finite group, and let $H$ be a normal subgroup with $(H,[G:H])=1$. Prove that $H$ is the unique such subgroup in G.
That exercise was introduced here before: link
It's easy that $HK$ is a subgroup of $G$, thus $|K| / |H\cap K|$ divides $|G|/|H|$. But I don't see what to do in next step anyway, in spite of reading link above.

In our lecture "Discrete Geometry 1", we are examining lineare realtions between the components of the f-vector and the h-vector of a polytope, in particular the Euler-Poincaré formula and the Dehn-Sommerville Equations. We already proved that there are no more such relations characterising a polytope.
I am working on the following exercise: Give a geometric interpretation of $$h_1(P)=f_{d-1}(P)-d$$
This is, I choose some linear function in general position $c:\mathbb{R}^d\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ and order the vertices of $P$ according to the value under this function. The number $h_1(P)$ gives all vertices that have exactly one neighbour according to this ordering. From lecture, we know that the number $h_1(P)$ does not depend on the choice of the function $c$.
Hence, this equation tells me that the number of vertices of a polytope P, that has exactly one neighbour according to the ordering described above, is equal to the number of facets of $P$, minus the dimension $d$.
I did draw some polytops and in 2D, a triangle and a square satisfy this equation, in 3D a tetrahedron satisfies it.
But my question is: How can I give a general interpretation, for I do not see any similarities between the triangle, the square and the tetrahedron that hold for any polytops satisfying this equation.
Thank you for reading through this and thanks for any help, Martin

Party with My Peeps - DIY Budget Friendly (22 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
I love the idea of PEEPS = Friends! So I thought what a fun little playdate/party this would make for my youngest daughter. I started looking all over for ideas and ways to incorporate Peeps in to the food, decor, and activites but not overdoing it (which would be really easy with all the fun things I found). I also wanted this party to be busget friendly, not something that would break the bank. Everything you see was a mixture of dollar store items (plates, brushes, Easter baskets, etc.), things I made, and a couple things (like the cake stand, picture frame, etc.) I already had. All the treats, party favors, and decorations were DIY which made it extra fun and personal.
I would love to post all the tutorials here, but that would be super long and a lot of pictures, so you can find all the tips and tutorials for making this Easter party on my blog at www.SweetenYourDayEvents.blogspot.com
Come check us out :)

I am looking through a crystal ball, the same one that Elphaba, the so called wicked witch of Oz, peers into in order to track poor Dorothy. It allows me to see beyond the places of today, even though the future is sometimes fuzzy.
Do I see the Apple iPad 2 floating across wispy clouds? A world dominated by Face Book?
No. The glass becomes clearer, allowing me to see the events of 2011. I see a changed America that is seriously ending homelessness, the shameful human scourge of this so-called first world country.
1) I see No Child Left Behind, that infamous $50 billion federal initiative to raise the educational level of every American child, being changed into a housing enterprise. Added to this educational program is a guarantee that every child and youth in America has a home. It makes sense. No child will be adequately motivated to learn if home is a beat-up car hidden in an alley.
Homeless families, including their children, are a fast growing population within America. More than a quarter of a million family members experience homelessness each night.
2) I see America pulling its soldiers out from this world's hostile places. I see no more war. More than 1.5 million of America's veterans are at risk of being homeless. A peaceful world, with no chance of traumatic life-changing experiences that violence of war instills, means no additional veterans sleeping on our streets.
John Lennon imagined such a prediction when he wrote "Imagine all the people,
Living life in peace."
3) I rub that fabled crystal ball to sharpen my view into the future. I see in 2011 the federal government setting up a trillion dollar housing fund, similar to the $700 billion bank bailout in 2008. But rather than protecting banks from losing billions in bad housing loans, this housing fund would provide billions in developing enough affordable housing for every homeless American who call the streets their home.
Everyone knows that housing is the key to eliminating homelessness. Sure, people need to address their personal barriers—mental health, abuse of substances, unemployment, domestic violence, etc.—but without housing that is affordable they still may not be able to get off the streets.
4) I see communities and neighborhoods in 2011 opening up their welcoming arms of hospitality allowing housing developments to be built on their streets. The harsh feelings of NIMBY (Not in my backyard) go away like an outdated Blockbuster video store.
Instead, YIMBY (Yes in my backyard) prevails. Communities begin to see that putting people into permanent housing is far better than allowing people to sleep on their streets.
5) Finally, my crystal ball reveals a country embracing a movement to permanently house the most vulnerable homeless people who, if not housed, could die on the streets. I see in 2011 the nearly 250 American cities who adopted a "Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness" also join the efforts of 100K Homes Campaign to house their most hurting homeless people on their streets.
With 250 communities across our amazing country each scouring their streets for homeless persons exposed to the harsh realities of homelessness, America will house 100,000 within a year.
My glass of my crystal ball of Oz is starting to get murky. It's hard to see with all of those dark clouds sweeping across the sky.
I see little Dorothy with her shiny red-ruby shoes clicking together, saying over and over again, "There is no place like home. There is no place like home."
I wonder if her dream of going home is a prediction for 2011, or just a figment of my imagination?
Only time will tell.
