Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things. The difference ...

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

Derrick Rose said some interesting things about the reason behind the decision to sit out certain games over the first couple of weeks after tweaking both of his ankles in just the second game of the season. To make a long story short, the oft-injured point guard stated that he's putting his long-term health into consideration because he doesn't want to feel discomfort years later when he is done with the game of basketball. Naturally, that's a bit of a controversial statement and

So in Sunday's upcoming preseason contest between the Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets, the league will try out a 44-minute game for the first time ever just as a simple sample to evaluate. Here are the details, from ESPN: The contest will be four minutes shorter than

Gasol's work on the glass has been there through the first five games, averaging an impressive 10.4 rebounds in just 27 minutes of play. The ability to score has been another story,

After keeping their romance on the down-low for about a year – and even welcoming a son – Colin Farrell and girlfriend Alicja Bachleda made a rare public appearance together in New York for Wednesday's Tribeca Film Festival premiere of their movie Ondine.
The movie is a love story between an Irish fisherman (Farrell) and a mermaid (Bachleda) – and at the opening night, from the red carpet to the Aveniu Wines-sponsored after-party at Soho's Beba restaurant, the couple avoided any outward public displays of affection. Instead, they chatted with those around them.
"We met on the set, and we were very professional and focused on our part and our jobs," said the Mexican-born, Polish actress Bachleda, 26. "The story itself is so beautiful … we really didn't have time to get our true emotions [on screen]."

It's a boy for Colin Farrell and girlfriend Alicja Bachleda.
The couple, who costar in the upcoming film Ondine, welcomed son Henry Tadeusz Farrell on Oct. 7 in Los Angeles, a rep for the actor tells PEOPLE.
Henry is the first child for Bachleda, 26, and the second for Farrell, who has a 6-year-old son, James, with model Kim Bordenave.
Confirming the pregnancy to PEOPLE in September, Farrell, 33, said he was looking forward to "everything" about parenthood. "I will take it as it comes. Even changing dirty diapers."

The rumors are true – Colin Farrell and Alicja Bachleda are expecting a baby.
"Yeah, I'm going to be a father again," Farrell, 33, confirms to PEOPLE at the premiere of Ondine at the Toronto Film Festival. "I'm very excited man! Very! There is nothing more exciting really."
What part of parenthood is the actor looking forward to the most? "Everything. The whole thing," he says. "I will take it as it comes. Even changing dirty diapers."

Touching down at LAX on Sunday, all eyes were on Colin Farrell and girlfriend Alicja Bachleda – who sparked pregnancy rumors by showing off what appeared to be a baby bump.
Polish actress Bachleda, 26, whom Farrell began dating earlier this year, reportedly rested a hand on her growing belly while making her way through the airport with her Ondine costar.
A rep for Farrell, 33, could not be reached for comment.
If true, this will make the actor a father for the second time – he has a 5 ½-year-old son, James, with model Kim Bordenave. Of James – who was diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome in 2004 – Farrell says, "[I'm] incredibly blessed to have him in my life."

Colin Farrell says he's thankful for the early diagnosis of his 4-year-old son's neuro-genetic disorder and for the vast joy his "little fella" experiences.
"He's nothing but a gift," Farrell, 31, said about son James on the Irish interview show Tubridy Tonight. With paternal pride he said: "As far as I'm concerned he's exactly the way he should be."
Though he was on TV to promote his latest movie, In Bruges, Farrell addressed the topic of James, whose Angelman Syndrome was revealed publicly last year.

It is taking three top names Jude Law, Johnny Depp and Colin Farrell – to step into Heath Ledger's final role, in the unfinished movie The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, according to a rep for Law.
Speaking to the BBC, Law's spokeswoman confirmed that the three actors would play Ledger's role of Tony. She was unaware, however, as to how the part would be restructured in the film, which deals with magic.
Ledger, 28, was still shooting the $30-million movie, directed by Terry Gilliam and costarring Christopher Plummer, when he was found dead from an accidental overdose of prescription medicines on Jan. 22.

Fairy Tail 350 begins as Gray realises that he's fighting a demon, something from the book of Zeref. Gray keeps getting pushed around, Doriarte screams out and concerts everyone to their smaller form, including Gray, Natsu, Erza, Minerva Lucy, Flare, Wendy and the thieves. It even changes Happy and Carla's forms. They aren't able to fly from where they are.
Gray gets ready and attack using his ice magic, it doesn't seem to work, he even goes for its legs and still nothing. Gray keeps being pushed and beaten around. Gray realises that from a single blow he's able to do so much damage. Plus he's magic power keeps increasing, Doriarte gets close up and goes for a punch, Gray doesn't know what else to do.
Gray forces himself to think, he notices that he's about to get punched when Happy and Carla quickly help him. Carla mentions that they aren't able to fly very high. Gray quickly notices that Doriarte is somehow scared of the ice. Gray realises that the little him couldn't do a lot of damage, however the bushes did hurt him, he would clearly be able to crush them, however the frozen bushes seem to be special.
He clearly knows that the ice is special in the village, Gray works out that if he's hit using the Ice in the village, Doriarte is going to get hurt. Gray is once again hurt form a punch. Gray thinks of a way to which he can use the ice, he quickly builds his courage. He realises that he can use his Ice Magic powers as they're similar to the Deliora, he holds the ice shouts for the ice to use his body as a vessel to go through him!
The magic ice power goes into his hand and launches from the other, this attack pushes Doriarte back to which it seems like he's defeated. Everyone seems to have return to their normal forms again. He returns to his normal form. Gray notices that the ice has a very unsettling feeling to it. Doriarte speaks mentioning that he's the one who's opened the Hell's Gate, it can't be undone, when he goes to say his words, a creature with a large eye appears, it seems the flying bird from before has changed too, he engulfs Doriarte! Fairy Tail 350 ends here.
An interesting chapter after all, from all the ups and downs this chapter has given us, it seems that the story is developing into something larger than we think. What could this ice be, who is Natsu running towards and finally where is the eternal flame, we'll find out during next week's Fairy Tail 351, titled "Eternal Fire".
The Black Cat – Pantherlily
Gajeel's favorite cat from Edolas, Pantherlily or Lily, arrives in style within the awesome image above. He sports he's famous sword which can both increase and decrease in size depending on his preference. The near-real looks from the image above makes his look like a total bad ass! He also has the fantastic action pose which makes his case even better.
The artist has done justice to his favorite Fairy Tail character, they have fantastically created an amazing piece of art, all credits go to ChrispyDee. You should definitely go and check out their awesome work, they've got a ton load of other amazing fan art.
Fairy Tail Finishes Sky Labyrinth – Fairy Tail 156
Fairy Tail 156 continues with the Arc as the Fairy Tail team go on a head with the Sky Labyrinth, unfortunately Wendy is nowhere to be found, so Elfman takes her place in the competition, they turn out to be the last team to approach the Goal, even if they've gone through, they came last. Wendy is found unconscious near the King's palace.
Fairy Tail 156 starts as the Sky Labyrinth opens for business, Erza stops them to tell them that Wendy is not there, Elfman steps in and tells them that he'll be the change in which they need, he carries all of them towards the Sky Labyrinth. They keep on going when Erza tells Lisanna and Happy to go and look for Wendy and Carla.
Every other guild also run towards the entrance of the Sky Labyrinth. Once they reach inside, they notice that everyone is in a maze fashion, there are parts which twist in such ways making it hard to understand where they need to go at times. Erza proposes that they should head East, Lucy brings out her Celestial Spirit, but Erza dismisses it by just mentioning that she's got a compass.
They head east, at each point they face problems, the Pumpkin explains why Natsu is not getting motion sickness, he explains that the Sky Labyrinth has been coated in a specific magic allowing all players who are afraid of height or get motion sickness to not be affected.
They find themselves in a room which spirals to the end, they are afraid of it but just keep going through it. At the end of the door, Natsu nearly falls off. Erza proposes that it would be useful for them to take notes so they don't get lost, this allows them to map the place properly.
Lisanna and Happy relay the message about Wendy to Romeo and Nab. Erza and Natsu hear voice from another members of another Guild, they reveal themselves as the members of Twilight Ogre, they remember that they were the members who were bullying Fairy Tail before Natsu and the others showed up. They get ready to fight, so does Fairy Tail.
Fairy Tail, including Natsu, Gray and Elfman kick their ass, they all fall towards the ground. The Sky Labyrinth starts to move around, the pieces and such start to move in different locations, a lot of people start to fall off, Natsu and Lucy also fall off, when Elfman saves them. Gray and Erza are okay hanging onto the objects around them. The Sky Labyrinth stops moving, lots of people fall down.
Erza finds notes of where the goal might be at. They will use this to help them to go to the right places instead of wasting time in going the wrong way. Members of Fairy Tail start to kick more ass, they also start to collect more notes from which it helps them to piece together what they've got. The Sky Labyrinth starts to move again, this time it doesn't do much damage.
Fairy Tail are still looking for Wendy and Carla, Happy and Lisanna go toward the castle in which they think she might be there. Lucy spreads out the notes they collected but it seems that they're going to take their time in accomplishing and finding the Goal, the compass doesn't work, Lucy takes out her Celestial Spirit, Pyxis to get help with finding where East is, Lucy asks for its help.
They start going towards the place, they are nearly there. The Labyrinth changes again and they all fall down towards the stream of water, they run towards getting to the rock bridge, everything in that place is fake, they keep on going.
Lisanna and Happy reach the castle, they explain their situation to the guards asking to go in, they are let in, they go towards the court-yard, Happy and Lisanna split up, they must keep on talking to Warren to get their message across.
Fairy Tail reach the Goal for the elimination stage, they are all proud of themselves for reaching it, they find out they shouldn't be laughing because they're in eight place. The Pumpkin reveals that it's finished, and the Guilds will be told at the opening ceremony.
Happy find Wendy's bag in the courtyard. The creature which could have attacked Wendy looks towards Lisanna and Happy, after some moment, they're found, seems as though both Wendy and Carla are out of any energy. They don't know what had happened to them either. Fairy Tail 156 ends here.
A cool challenge for Natsu and the others, it's was tough for them, plus since they reached 8th place, they are in last, place, it would be awesome to know who the other 7 teams are, although it seems clear that Blue Pegasus and Lamia Scales are there, as well as Sabertooth. Can't wait for next week's Fairy Tail 157, titled "New Guild!", when the opening ceremony starts and we find out who the others are.
The Dragon King, Acnologia – Fairy Tail 301
Fairy Tail 301 opens up some fantastic information to us. We learn that the dragon Acnologia was once a human being who bathed himself in dragon blood who became a dragon after some time. We also learn that some of the Dragon's aren't as bad we think, this dragon also explains that Dragon's used to own everything around 400 years ago.
Fairy Tail 301 starts out Wendy starts to make a magic circle around her where she can use her Milky Way spell to call upon a dragon. Once done, she tells everyone to stand back. She chants her words which will call the wandering souls of dragons. She enables the spell and calls outs Milky Way.
She goes around looking for the soul, the bones start to crumble, she says that she's searching for the souls of the dragons which are lingering around this place, it's very old and small. She finds it quickly enables it. Wendy goes into a concentrating mode where she can keep the dragon there.
At this point, a dragon appears from no where. Everyone standing there is shocked at this revelation. The dragon makes a large roar where it can scare the hell out of Natsu and the others. After the scare, it unexpectedly starts to laugh. It tells them that he loves seeing the faces of human chickening out.
He introduces himself as Zealconis or the Emerald Dragon. He notices that there needs to be a Sky Dragon somewhere to be able to awaken him there. He notices that Wendy is sitting down concentrating. He calls her a lil' cutie dragon slayer. Natsu tells him to quickly get away from her.
Zealconis threatens to goggle her up right there. He then tells Natsu that he's kidding, he reveals that he cannot do anything to a physical body while he's a spirit. Carla, Happy and Lily asks them what had happened to them as well as their past there.
Zealconis explains that around 400 years, the Dragons were the king of the world. Freely soaring through the skies, dominating the lands, crossing the seas. They had led quite the prosperous lives. Everything in the world belonged to the dragons.
He explains that a fool of a dragon appeared and protested against their rules. He spouted nonsensical things like creating a world where dragons live in harmony with humans. At this point a civil war broke out between those that supported and those that opposed him. The battles between the dragons had already scarred and ripped apart several lands.
This was when the Pro-Human side put their foolish plan into action, they gave the humans magic to slay dragons as well as enter the war. It made significant change. The victory of the Pro-Human side would have been inevitable if it wasn't for one small miscalculation.
They had notices that they had given the Dragon Slayers too much power and those who wished for peace with human were also slain by their hands. Among them was a man who bathed in the blood of dragons. The man slayed many dragons and continues to bathe in their blood.
This was until the mans skin itself became scales, his teeth into fangs and his form itself became that of a dragon. Zealconis goes on to explain that the dragon's in the cave were all slayed by that one man. He was both Human and Dragon. It was the war that gave birth to the king of dragons, and the Dragon Festivals.
The King's name was Acnologia! They are all shocked at this fact, they can't believe it. Most of the dragons there were killed by Acnologia, and this was over 400 Years ago. At this point, Zealconis disappears while Natsu wants to keep on asking more questions. Wendy can no longer connect to a dragon.
At this point Arcadios shows up, he tells them that it's impossible for them to become dragons. Natsu and the others notice that they don't know this person. He tells them that he heard their conversation, he asks if they've hear about Zeref's book of Dark Magic. He tells them that Zeref could have made that Dragon Slayer into Acnologia.
He then tells them that getting rid of Zeref, the root of all this is the first step to defeating Acnologia. At this point, Yukino Aguria stands by his side, everyone notices this, Carla quickly notices that the white knight she saw from her premonitions has come in front of her. Fairy Tail 301 ends here.
We now know a little more about the past of the dragons and we can all try and link a few things together Can't wait for next week's Fairy Tail 302, titled "The Eclipse Plan". It's possible that it's going to be good, can't wait for it!
Carla's Premonition of Lucy – What will happen to Lucy? – Fairy Tail
You may have seen the image above from Carla's (Charles) premonition as she notices that something horrific has happened to her. Personally I think that the image above is somewhat connected to the Eclipse Plan which Arcadios has planned for the past 7 years. The image above was drawn by Fawsyl, check his work out!
Arcadios's Eclipse Plan hasn't fully been explained, but since it seems as though the plan will involve Lucy, it's likely that it's something to do with the Celestial Spirits. A few weeks back, Yukino Agria offered 2 Golden Keys to Lucy making it a full 12 Keys. She goes to explain that after reaching this many Golden Keys, something special will occur which will allow her to control something. It's possible that Arcadios can use this power to gain what ever he wants.
My questions to you is, What do you think of Carla's premonition, and what it means for her and Lucy? Plus do you think what I wrote above is likely to occur?
Fairy Tail: Priestess of the Phoenix Main Characters and Story

Natsu and them, who are looking forward to the big reward, set out to the place of request in high spirits.
However, because of a mistake Lucy made, they let Geese to escape right in front of their eyes. With the request failed, Lucy, who was depressed by herself, met a mysterious girl named Eclair and a strange bird named Momon on her way home. Eclair somehow lost her memory, and the only thing she remembers is that she must deliver the "Phoenix Stone" in her possession to somewhere. Eclair, who hates magic, and the secrets hidden in the Phoenix Stone… with this meeting as the start, this time, a brand new enemy, and a sinister plot will confront Natsu and he's friends!

Macy's Herald Square Store Gets Indoor GPS Navigation
Macy's has added a new feature to its iPhone app to give consumers turn-by-turn directions through its massive Herald Square flagship location, reports Mashable. The software startup Meridan is repsonsible for this new GPS app.
Macy's is one of three businesses to be part of Meridian's beta test the indoor GPS feature for department stores.
"Macy's is kind of the leader right now in a lot of digital initiatives. They've been trying out lots of digital initiatives to engage with shoppers in their homes and in stores," said Jeff Hardison, VP of Marketing and Business for Meridian, explaining why the startup chose to partner with Macy's. The goal, he says, is that Macy's will gradually expand the mapping feature to all or most of its other retail locations in the future.

How the rich and poor view the economy has diverged to some of the widest levels in years, data from Goldman Sachs's latest consumer survey shows. Read More »
Fear that the housing market's recovery is stalling has been overdone, say economists at Goldman Sachs in a new report.
The paper — entitled "Where is the pent-up housing demand?" — suggests that housing demand among the young has been suppressed due to cyclical issues not structural ones.
Homeownership hasn't fallen out of favor and student-debt levels aren't the main culprits for lower housing demand among young buyers, write economists Hui Shan and Eli Hackel. Instead, they suggest that the economic downturn is most responsible for muted homeownership gains among younger households, and that the "pent-up" housing demand will improve in step with economic gains.
The bear case on housing goes something like this: the current "recovery" has been driven to an unhealthy degree by low interest rates and investor purchases of homes, particularly by large institutions. Meanwhile, traditional owner-occupant buyers can't qualify for loans, due to some combination of having too much debt (especially student loans for younger buyers), stagnant incomes and tight credit standards.

The recent rise in mortgage rates could shave between 0.2 to 0.3 percentage point from economic growth over the coming year, with the largest pinch being felt during the third quarter, according to an analysis by economists at Goldman Sachs.
The Federal Reserve surprised markets on Wednesday when it opted not to begin an anticipated wind-down of its bond-buying program. Already, expectations of a Fed pull-back had driven up the cost of getting a mortgage, which in turn has offered some evidence that the frantic price gains in the housing market witnessed earlier this year will slow.
Goldman economists tried to quantify the impact of higher mortgage rates on any slowdown in housing activity. The rise in rates, which stood at 4.75% last week for the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, up from 3.6% in early May, can explain "some but not all of the slowdown" in recent housing data, wrote David Mericle of Goldman Sachs. Read More »
It's well known that job growth has been lacking in this recovery. One reason for the disappointment is that small businesses aren't adding workers like they used to.
Economists at Goldman Sachs explored the shift in hiring by business size using the Labor Department's Business Employment Dynamics survey. Although the BED data lag, the Goldman economists found small firms (defined as businesses employing less than 1-49 workers) have indeed underperformed medium and large companies whether underperform is defined as "a slower rate of job growth during the recovery relative to other firm size classes or a failure to regain the absolute magnitude of job losses incurred during the recession."
These trends contrast with the last business cycle of the early 2000s. Small firms barely lost any jobs in the 2001 recession and then outpaced medium and large firms in the expansion.
Of course, job growth overall has been hampered by weak demand, credit constraints and global woes. Goldman identified some reasons unique to small-company hiring. Read More »
The government's employment report gets the most market attention, but is it the best predictor of economic activity? A new report from Goldman Sachs says to look at manufacturing reports instead.
Of all data releases, surprises in monthly nonfarm payrolls move bonds and stocks most. Goldman Sachs finds that a one-standard-deviation surprise — about a 80,000 swing — causes an average 0.05-percentage-point move in the 10-year yield and 0.3% impact on the S&P 500.
But when it comes to predictive powers for how the economy will actually fare in the months ahead, the investment bank finds payrolls has little. Read More »
Bond investors have learned not to fight the Federal Reserve when it comes to its easing policy, but what about the economic forecasts that are today, more than ever, key to driving that policy?
There seems to be plenty of skeptics on that front in light of the Fed's rosier projections released Wednesday (and rightly so given the Fed's track record of being overly optimistic), leaving some bond managers eager to get back into Treasurys. Read More »

It may take the Federal Reserve nearly a decade to bring its massive balance sheet back toward a more historically normal size, Goldman Sachs economists argue in new research.
Forecasters at the firm say that if the Fed presses forward with its expected path of stimulus and continues to buy Treasury and mortgage bonds through the third quarter of 2014, it is unlikely that its balance sheet will get back toward a historical norm of around 6% of GDP until 2022.
The Goldman note argues the most likely path for the Fed is that what is now a balance sheet of just over $3 trillion will top out at around $4 trillion when the Fed feels confident enough about the outlook to end its ongoing and currently opened ended campaign of bond buying. The bank expects the Fed to contract its balance sheet by allow its holdings to mature instead of actively shrinking its holding via sales. Read More »
A roundup of economic news from around the Web.
–Manufacturing Troubles: Brad Plumer points to research from Goldman Sachs saying manufacturing isn't coming back. "One of the hottest trend stories in recent years has been the idea that U.S. manufacturing is on the verge of a large, permanent comeback. Labor costs in China are rising, while U.S. energy costs are dropping. So, the logic goes, companies will return home. Charles Fishman dubbed it "The Insourcing Boom." The only problem? This boom hasn't really shown up in the data — at least not yet. Yes, U.S. manufacturing has expanded and added jobs since 2009 as the sector recovers from the recession. But that appears to be a cyclical bounce-back and not any sort of long-term shift."
–Tax Receipts: Ed Yardeni notes that tax revenues are rising faster than expected. "The next big positive surprise in the US economy is likely to be that federal tax receipts are increasing faster than expected. That would certainly help to improve the budget deficit outlook and might make it easier to achieve at least some modest bipartisan agreements to lower the structural deficit and to reform the tax system. I monitor the Treasury's daily data on federal tax receipts and deposits for individual and payroll taxes as well as for corporate income taxes. The daily data obviously are very volatile so I smooth them out with 260-day moving sums, which closely track the Treasury's monthly data on a 12-month sum basis. The Treasury's deposits of withheld income and employment taxes rose to a new record high on March 22. Corporate income tax receipts are the highest since February 2009. "
–Home Price Revisions: Joseph Tracy, Richard Peac and Joshua Abel look at complications for revisions in house-price moves. "Data revisions can have consequences that are far from trivial. Housing prices are viewed by many as an important economic indicator. In fact, much of the recent optimism regarding the prospects for a more vigorous recovery of the economy is due to evidence that the housing market is firming. Home price indexes are an important component of this information. Furthermore, if the revisions can be significant, then this creates a challenge for using these indexes in financial contracts. Timely contract settlement could lead to one party delivering a sum of money that, with the benefit of more data and thus index revisions, turns out to be too much or too little. And as noted earlier, due to the very low sales volume of recent years, we are currently in a time when these concerns regarding revisions are amplified, since a relatively small proportion of the sales that will ultimately be used to calculate the "final" home price index have been transacted to date."

The U.S. looks to have averted another debt-ceiling debacle, but Goldman Sachs economists warn two more fiscal drags looming in March could hurt growth: sequestration cuts and a failure to extend the government-agency spending authority.
Goldman says the sequester — if totally implemented — could reduce its gross-domestic-product growth estimate by 0.5-1.0 percentage points in the first and second quarters, and a government shutdown lasting a week might only reduce annualized growth by 0.1-0.2 percentage point in the quarter it occurs, "but it could have a more meaningful effect if it lasted longer."
Goldman forecasts 2% U.S. growth for all of 2013. In other words, Washington politics still a risk to U.S. economy. Read More »

Surveys and data indicate uncertainty has caused businesses to pullback on hiring and capital spending. One argument is that executives are waiting to see who wins the elections. But it's doubtful the presidential election itself is to blame. Instead it is the fact that no matter who carries the day Washington will make no decisions until after the elections.
Election uncertainty should cause businesses to stop what they are doing in the months ahead of a major election and then catch-up after the votes are cast.
Yet past data suggest even close elections, such as in 2000 and 2004, don't change trends in activity much. Data on orders, inventories, private-sector hiring, and small business optimism don't show a discernible slowdown running up to the elections followed by an increase in activity. Read More »

I took an MBA to develop my management skills. But I also wanted to explore the ways that business methods can be used to solve social problems Berry
by J.M. | ESADE
Jon Myer, an MBA student at ESADE Business School, hopes to launch a social enterprise that targets food insecurity in urban slums. His journey will take him from the classrooms of Barcelona to the slums of Bombay and the boardrooms of Boston
STARTING any business is hard enough. Building one that is both profitable and achieves social impact is tougher.
Muhammad Yunus, the Nobel prize winner who developed the idea of microfinance, argues that social enterprises should be "at least as well managed as any profit-maximising business". I took an MBA to develop my management skills. But I also wanted to explore the ways that business methods can be used to solve social problems. This is what compelled me to enter the Hult Prize last November, along with four colleagues from ESADE Business School in Spain.
The Hult Prize is a global case competition and start-up accelerator for social enterprises, run in partnership with the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI). This year's challenge, posed by Bill Clinton himself, was a daunting one: tackle food insecurity for 200m urban slum dwellers by 2018. Rural areas account for the majority of the world's undernourished. However, urban populations are often overlooked. The statistics paint a troubling picture. One in four children in the world are hungry. Poor nutrition plays a role in more than 5m child deaths every year. This motivated 10,000 teams to apply for the prize and a chance to win $1m in seed capital.
We started our research in January, and quickly identified India as an "attractive" target market with high rates of malnutrition and huge slum populations. We quickly discovered the importance of small retailers to the country's economy. More than 7m small grocery stores (known as kiranas) account for around 90% of the total retail trade, and serve close to 100m slum dwellers. Low-income consumers rely on these stores as a source of food, since they offer convenience, interest-free credit and smaller, more affordable packages. And yet kiranas suffer from outdated business processes and limited access to technology. From these observations our solution started to take shape.
A few months later we landed in Dubai for the Hult regional finals. We were quietly confident that our idea was distinctive enough get us through to the next round. Our model uses tablet technology to combine the buying power of small retailers and reshape supply chains. We will help local entrepreneurs improve their profitability, large companies better understand the needs of the urban poor, and slum dwellers get affordable and nutritious food. Even so, going up against 56 other teams and presenting to a packed house with $1m on the line was a harrowing experience. Long hours of preparation paid off and we took out the prize in Dubai. We had secured a place in the final round of six teams, and an invitation to undertake a seven-week accelerator programme in Boston. Getting one step closer to launching our social enterprise was exhilarating, but we immediately knew that all of our assumptions and desktop research would need to be tested in the field. If we were going to have a chance of winning we would need first-hand knowledge of life in the slums. Next stop India.
Bombay (rarely called Mumbai by locals) is a gigantic, gritty and generous melting pot of humanity and humidity. Our task was to navigate the city's hectic streets and hidden lanes to build partnerships and better understand the needs of shop owners and consumers in the slums. We visited Dharavi—home to an estimated million people and one of the largest slums in the world—as well as central urban settlements and peri-urban slums. We conducted interviews, focus groups and behavioural observation. Two things were especially noticeable. First, was the generosity and optimism of the people. Regardless of their income level, our Indian hosts always welcomed us warmly and rarely accepted payment for anything. Second, was the staggering inequality of Indian society, not just between the rich and the poor but also within the slums themselves. In the Colaba district, we saw cramped dwellings and a field of garbage and open sewers, overlooked by an ominous 27-story skyscraper called Antilia, the $1 billion home of Mukesh Ambani, head of petrochemical giant Reliance Industries.
Thankfully, our time in the slums validated many of our assumptions. But with every new insight comes a new set of challenges. Positive meetings with NGOs, social investors, big corporations and small business owners have left us with a renewed sense of excitement and a long to-do list. When we make our final pitch at the CGI annual general meeting in New York City in September, Muhammad Yunus will be sitting on the judging panel. No doubt his expectations for our social enterprise will be as high as Antilia.

I took an MBA to develop my management skills. But I also wanted to explore the ways that business methods can be used to solve social problems Berry
Jon Myer and his team members are doing a real interesting work to help small retailers to sell food cheaper and healthier in slums. You can find more information about Origin (small retail, big impact), http://www.origin-network.org/
Thanks Alfred. The whole team really appreciates the support from ESADE and especially from you and the Institute for Social Innovation.
Great story Jon, inspirational. Social enterprise provides the opportunity, I agree, for some big "win-win" outcomes when business and socially minded people work together. There are significant moral, social, CSR and sustainability opportunities for the business community.
I chose a social enterprise here in New Zealand for the subject of my own (Otago University) MBA project and hope to develop it into a national programme in a related field (food rescue). Call it what you will, the "charity"/"social enterprise"/"not for (financial) profit" sector so often needlessly suffers from inefficiencies and a negative "charity" mindset so it's great to see fellow MBAs applying their skills to such a worthwhile cause. The opportunities for profit, social AND financial, are substantial. Congratulations on your success so far and I wish your team well for September.
We all new in undergraduate that the professor removes the first comment and claimed the prize.
Thanks for that Nick. Really interested to learn more about your project as it develops. I am aware of several great 'food rescue' organisations in Australia such as http://secondbite.org/

We decided to publish our November eNews on Veterans Day as a tribute to the men and women who served in the armed forces. In particular we wanted to acknowledge the Japanese Americans who chose to serve during World War II at a time when many Americans despised and didn't trust them. Some of these individuals endured increased hardships and discrimination hoping that their sacrifices would make it easier for their families to return to their communities after being incarcerated in American concentration camps.
I encourage each of you to take a moment today to remember these individuals and share a story. On Facebook I share the story of an uncle that I never met along with the photo of my grandparents accepting an American flag after he was killed in action. I also used the hashtag #NiseiVeteran so that this story could be found with other stories using this tag. Let's acknowledge our veterans by remembering them. Thank you and if not too difficult, please share your stories with me at [email protected].

November 20, 2014
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - A lawsuit seeks to force two state agencies to require the coal industry to install detectors that automatically shut down mobile machinery in coal mines when people get too close.
Mountain State Justice lawyers filed an emergency petition Friday with the state Supreme Court. It says the state Office of Miners' Health, Safety and Training and the Board of Coal Mine Health and Safety failed to protect workers by requiring mine operators to install proximity detection systems.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of a United Mine Workers member and a woman whose husband died in a mine.
Board administrator Joel Watts tells The Associated Press he won't comment on pending litigation. A mine office spokeswoman didn't immediately respond to a request for comment Saturday.

War of wordsApril 01,2013North Korea has declared it is in a state of war with its prosperous, democratic neighbor, South Korea, and it has threatened to close down a factory complex the two nations have been managing on a cooperative basis.
And, in recent weeks, North Korea has engaged in a pattern of strident rhetoric replete with vows to launch missiles aimed at those nations it considers its enemies, including the United States. It has been taunting Americans with video depictions of Washington in flames, presumably from a North Korean missile attack.
The war declaration mentions the death-defying battle with the enemies that promises to achieve a final victory of the great war for national reunification true to the important decision made by Kim Jong Un, the relatively new North Korean leader.
Because Kim is so young and so new to the worlds stage, it is difficult to measure the seriousness of these threats. There is no way to know, with certainty, whether hes bluffing, if hes a fool, a tool of his generals, or a genuine, mature menace.
Political and military analysts in South Korea, China (North Koreas closest friend, but a wary ally at best) and the United States must all be scratching their heads as they try to develop a strategy for dealing with Kim.
From a distance, Kim may appear immature at best and unbalanced at worst, but such assessments are little more than guesswork, and a miscalculation could bring serious consequences. However, the greater danger of a miscalculation would appear to be to North Korea because if it were to launch any attack, that would surely invite retaliation from its much more powerful foes, including the United States.
A worrisome fact is that nobody knows much about Kim except that clearly he has a flair for the dramatic (and is propped up by a busy but rather transparent propaganda machine that portrays him in heroic fashion). Also, he leads a nation that often appears to take pride in being aggressively contrarian in many ways.
And then theres this reality: Technically, North Korea and South Korea have been in a constant state of war since the Korean conflict back in the 1950s, a fact that would somewhat seem to render the new declaration of war virtually meaningless.
Also, there are few signs that North Korea is actually planning to fight. For example, there have been no reports that it has massed troops along the border with South Korea. However, the threat to shut down the shared factory complex is worrisome, because its continued operation had been taken as a good reason to believe that all the other war talk was just so much chest thumping to impress Kims subjects.
The 8-year-old complex, with 123 South Korean factories, is a vital source of cash for North Korea because it generates more than $92 million a year in wages (based on a meager average monthly wage of $144) for the 53,400 North Koreans who have jobs there.
When South Koreans cited those statistics, North Korea angrily responded with its customary bellicose propaganda.
The South Korean puppet forces are left with no face to make complaint even though we ban the South sides personnels entry into the zone and close it, North Koreas official Korean Central News Agency declared Saturday. It also complained that North Koreas dignity was insulted by South Korean media reports suggesting the North was keeping the complex open only to obtain hard currency.
We must all hope this remains a propaganda war and nothing more.MORE IN CommentaryAs consumers flock to the malls in a rush for bargains on the day after Thanksgiving, they will...
