Mobile Innovation at risk?
I am currently rereading Burn Rate, Michael Wolf's excellent book on his adventures running a content business in the early days of the web. Starting in 1996, his stories of VCs and startups still sound quite contemporary. The figures are amazingly small though – he talks of Excite having a $40million warchest.
But the thing that resonates most is the description of the shift taking place from AOL, Genie, Delphi and Prodigy towards the web – and the huge excitement as people moved from a controlled environment to the free web, where anyone could do what they want.
I'm old enough to remember that era – we had just started Poppe Tyson in London – and many prospective clients were still investing marketing budget in AOL and Compuserve.
As we discussed last week, the web seems to be taking a back seat on mobile and the rise of apps is arguably taking us back to that controlled era. Chris Dixon of VC firm Andreessen Horowitz points out;
Apps have a rich-get-richer dynamic that favors the status quo over new innovations.
VC Fred Wilson agrees that the dominance of apps is stifling innovation and looking at the top 200 apps sees very few that are recent venture backed businesses.
GAFA are crucial in the discovery and distribution of apps and we all know that without a substantial budget for Facebook app install ads (etc) it's nearly impossible to get an app to scale. And the appstore tax of 30% is a major factor too. Are the Vertical Stacks the new Walled Gardens?
The Net Neutrality arguments are designed to give similar status to the Mobile Networks – which, as we know, stifled innovation in mobile prior to the GAFA era. This is a good summary of the various points of view on apps and the threat to innovation.
Yet the combination of the mobile web and mobile search are still low cost options – and therefore great opportunities for innovation. And in our research we find that people think of apps as the icons on their home screen; click on them and something happens. Few know or care about them being native apps or bookmarks for mobile websites. If it solves a problem, it will probably earn its place.
So in our projects we usually advise that a blend of mobile web and native apps is the right way to go – together with smart thinking on how to use search and social to drive discovery and get than icon on the home screen.
As Ben Evans points out, the mobile opportunity is still wide open and current trends are no real indicator of where we might end up. The size of the mobile opportunity means that everyone needs to get involved and invest smartly in learning what works and what doesn't for your business.
Reading Burn Rate you remember that those early days were just the start of the digital switch that has changed how millions of people live their lives and transformed every business sector.
We are now just at the start of the Mobile switch where billions of people are going to have their lives changed. And every business sector is going to get transformed again.
It's time to experiment.
Social Evolution
A very experienced smart marketer slightly stumped us this week when he posed the question Why should I spend any effort on Facebook? He totally saw it was a valid media channel for ad buys, but with a modest number of followers he wonders why he should invest in time and content to grow his likes, when there is now little benefit in free reach. Of course as part of a social strategy of ubiquity, the effort in Facebook improves results on Twitter, Google+ etc as some content can be reused. And knowing what content resonates with fans does help improve ad performance.
But as the Facebook Feed evolves we see both users and brands frustrated with the experience. This TechCrunch piece gets into the details on how the Feed is now constructed and looks at the various complaints, but we don't see a solution yet. John Batelle argues – quite convincingly – that Facebook should let the user take control.
It is essentially the same challenge that Twitter potentially has. Twitter is a hugely valuable service but you always have the nagging doubt that you may have missed some good stuff if you haven't checked for a while. But I prefer that to a feed that Twitter have decided is the right one for me. Again we thinks lists are an underused asset for Twitter; setting up some specific lists allows for an occasional browse of a certain set of Twitterers, without needing to have those feeds in your timeline.
With a whole swathe of new ad formats on the way, Twitter is ramping up their advertising push and by redesigning profile pages potentially make them much more usable. Some think that these profile pages could evolve to be someones main profile on the web; you may have a blog and a LinkedIn page but an improved Twitter profile would probably be a better representation of you.
Just as Facebook and Twitter share similar problems – and similar ad formats – the new profile pages makes Twitter look a lot like Facebook.
A couple of other useful bits on social;
This is a good roundup of thinking on what the ideal length of a Facebook, Twitter or Google+post is. We were told a while back by Facebook that the average brand message is much much longer than the average users posts – the challenge for a brand is finding a way to convey their character in as few words as possible. It has always amazed us that brands often leave their most important language – search ads and social – to inexperienced media buyers and project managers. There is wealth of copywriting talent that should be employed for these crucial tasks; the easiest way to double response to both search and social is great creative.
Twitter have shared why people follow brands; people want to hear from these brands – especially with promotions and special offers
Social Revolution
It's clear that messaging is going to change social and Facebook are keen to stay ahead of the curve. They demonstrated this when they bought WhatsApp, but many questioned the role for their own Messenger service. They are now stripping out the Messenger functionality from the Facebook app, so users have to download the separate app – continuing the single purpose app strategy they showed with Paper.
This is a good take on Facebook messaging and the new Asian competitors; Line, WeChat and Kakao
Ex Facebook exec Christian Hernandez has a good look at these new apps in this piece on the pros and cons of relying on someone else's platform. Well worth reading.
Hardware – Cheap & Useful
Working on an ebooks project a few years ago, we recommended the backers ( a number of publishers and a major retailer) to ignore the siren call of developing their own hardware and instead develop for the nascent tablet market as well as smartphones. As it turned out that was sound advice. Then
Now it is possible to develop hardware that is cheap enough and good enough to differentiate your business. Tesco are making a pretty good job of it with Hudl and Google are having a lot of success with Chromecast (we are less convinced about the Chromebooks).
Amazon have done a brilliant job with the Kindle, straddling both hardware and software, and Fire seems to have started well – it's the bestseller in electronics on Amazon.com.
Their latest piece of hardware is really intriguing. Dash lets users scan a barcode of any product to add it to their shopping list – and it can also work with voice too. It is only available to customers of AmazonFresh – their grocery home delivery service currently in Seattle, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
The biggest problem for people like Ocado and Tesco is online grocery basket size tends to be smaller than a shopper in store as the impulse buys don't happen. But once on the list they tend to be reordered again and again.
So for Amazon to have a tool that people can use around the kitchen to reorder should be great for both retention and revenue. And as a physical object it should also help with customer acquisition as people see it in their friends' houses.
Most of the smart people we know in the Grocery business are convinced that its only a matter of time until Amazon launch Fresh in the UK. This is a good look at the US market for home delivered grocery and it reminds us that dotcom casualties like Webvan actually did have market impact – it was just way too early.
Interestingly Dash has dotcom ancestry too. Does anyone remember CueCat? Launched in 2000 this barcode scanner needed to be plugged into a PC before it could read a code on a product or in an ad. Called one of the 25 worst tech products of all time, it didn't last long. But as we see with Dash, these ideas have real potential once you unlock them from the desktop and define the problem that needs solving.
"All the dot-com ideas were correct," "They were all too early. They are happening now."

Phoebe Alysabeth
Phoebe Alysabeth is here! She arrived at 8:36 am this morning; she came a week earlier than her EDD! We are so happy! Phoebe joins big sister Abigail Eden. It was just yesterday that I came to ask about the name Alysabeth, and just a day later, Phoebe came! We were hesitant about using Alysabeth as a first name, as it could lead to spelling mistakes and become annoying to have to correct people. We named her Phoebe because it ultimately flowed better, and Phoebe is a super special name to us also. Phoebe Buffay, was my favorite character on my all-time favorite TV show Friends, and I grew up in Phoenix, AZ. Alysabeth is a combination of DH's and my mother's name. My MIL's name is Alysia, and my mother's name is Elisabeth; hence, Alysabeth. We were actually going to use Robynne for the middle- a mix of DH's name Robby, and my middle name Anne, but Robynne just didn't sound nearly as special!
Thank you, for helping us choose a name. We are so in love, and can't wait for the journey ahead of us.Proud mother to 3 year old Abigail Eden,
and preparing to welcome another daughter,
Phoebe Alysabeth ; EDD: 7-27-13

Cabo Frio
One of the oldest settlements in Brazil, Cabo Frio was established in the early 1500s as a port from which wood was shipped to Portugal. Today it's best known for its lovely seaside setting and fresh seafood. Cabo Frio is a popular weekend getaway for residents of Rio de Janeiro and a favorite destination for water-sports enthusiasts. Don't miss the chance to go diving in Arraial do Cabo, which has some of the clearest water in Brazil.
Although they tend to be cheaper, Cabo Frio hotels are not as nice as those in nearby Búzios. If you are looking for chic lodgings, you're better off staying in Búzios and taking a day trip to Cabo Frio.

HUNTSVILLE, Texas -- Convicted criminals often lose touch with their family. Some people believe that can lead to them becoming repeat offenders. While no one is excusing their actions, one woman has taken up their cause in an effort to protect everyone.
Debra McCammon is the executive director of the Hospitality House. The nonprofit organization provides a home away from home for families visiting inmates in Huntsville. The organization's mission is to keep inmates and their families connected.
"Yes, he (the inmate) made a bad choice, but the family didn't make a bad choice," McCammon said.
Convicted criminals are hardly sympathetic characters. No one would argue the focus should be on victims and their families. McCammon knows she has a tough sell but she says it works.
"What we're seeing is men who get out and who had family come all the time to visit them...then they're not going back to prison," she said.
The day KVUE's sister station KHOU conducted the interview, Kenny Humphries was released, 23 years after shooting a North Texas police officer who survived the attack.
Humphries said his time behind bars changed him, thanks to Hospitality House.
"The biggest thing with prisoners is communication...communication with your family," Humphries said. "Once you start losing that communication, your tie to the world breaks down. And after a while everybody starts fading out."
Humphries' wife, Twyla, slept in a car during her visits to Huntsville before learning about Hospitality House's free room and board.
"Before I came here...It's like you feel like you're alone, you have...There's nothing," Twyla said. "There's nobody that understands or can help you. They (Hospitality House) understand what you're going through."
Per policy, Hospitality House does not ask their guests/families what led to their loved one's incarceration.

The Meetings Technology Expo is landing in Washington, D.C., this year with a one-day event focused on technology-specific education and networking.
On May 21, Marriott at Metro Center will host the show's 24 technology demos and 16 CMP- and CAE-accredited educational sessions, with an agenda that includes sessions on meeting-specific use of social media, mobile apps, and game dynamics; event management platforms; leveraging technology in a strategic meetings management program; virtual events; and more. MTE says content is aimed at a range of meeting professionals, including corporate, association, independent, and trade-show planners.
The busy 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. event begins with a keynote talk by Lance Fensterman, group vice president at ReedPOP, the fan-focused, fast-growing event division of Reed Exhibitions that runs quirky, popular events such as New York Comic Con, Star Wars Celebration, and the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo. After the morning educational sessions, a busy agenda of tech demonstrations is planned for the exhibit hall, and attendees can also create a schedule of one-on-one appointments with any of the 23 exhibitors to get the most out of the show. Late in the afternoon, more educational sessions are on the schedule, including data mining, radio frequency identification tools, and audience-engagement technologies, before the event concludes with a reception at 5 p.m.
The cost of attending the full show is $249, with group discounts available. Planners can register just for the expo for $149.

Posted by: Lewis Marquis
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
The idea of being able to have a tandem with which one could travel appealed to me and we bought a Bike Friday Family Tandem. We'd had a Schwinn Paramount tandem for about 25 years and my wife had never really been comfortable on the back. I sent Bike Friday the dimensions of the road bike on which she felt more comfortable and they modified the rear of the tandem to fit her. I stored the old tandem from hooks on our barn's ceiling.
I still think of bikes with 20 inch wheels as "small" and as I lifted it up to it's storage spot, even I was surprised when I discovered that it's wheelbase was about 8 inches longer than the Paramount's. I never realized how short the Paramount's wheel base was or how little room there was on the back till I saw a couple on another Paramount on a ride last fall.
We received the tandem just as New England fall weather made riding uncomfortable. But we took it to NYC at Thanksgiving where we celebrated our 25th anniversary. We rode it on one of NY's monthly Critical Mass rides. Being NYC a lot of people on these rides are on folders, but the BF tandem was one of the most unusual bikes there and drew lots of attention.
Next we took it back to NYC and did their annual New Year's Eve ride which ends up in Central Park at midnight for fireworks. We did a few short rides on it as spring arrived, then we took it on our first major trip. We took it to Cuba. I also have a Bike Friday single and surprisingly the tandem is easier to pack than the single. Watching the video, made the packing easy. There's lots of room in the suitcases for a helmet and panniers. the airline had a 2 suitcase per person limit, and I thought we were going to be okay. But we were 22 kilos over the weight limit and were charged $110 Canadian (about $78 U.S.). I think this may have been because the flight was a charter, not a regularly scheduled flight.
Putting the bike back together was easy. I had to deflate both tires to get them into the suitcase and it was a little difficult with the hand pump to reach my normal pressures. And it drew lots of attention as I rolled it through the hotel. The longer wheelbase did make it more difficult, but not impossible to get into the elevator. Outside it drew the attention of the attendant of the hotel's bike rental stand and of one of the security men. I borrowed the foot pump from the bike stand and used it to get the higher pressures. The attendant seemed to be warning me that 80-90 pounds was too much. they asked how much it cost? I generally don't like to answer that question, because to a non cyclist, a decent bike seems to be prohibitively expensive, but I told him it was around $1,000. In Cuba this represents 8-9 years' income and his comment was that "He could buy a car for that much."
At home, I usually inflate my road tires to about 110 pounds. But several flats later I concluded that something closer to 65 pounds was more appropriate. The lower pressure also softened the ride. In the nearest town we had lunch in the patio of an Italian restaurant and while we ate the entire staff (host, waitress and chef) stood at the window admiring our bike.
On another day we rode 20 miles to the extremely non-touristy town of Cardenas. On the way to Cardenas, we were in a fierce headwind, but it never really slowed us down. We slowly caught up with a man riding a very utilitarian tricycle. He was thirsty and I shared my water bottle with him. As far as I could tell we were the only non-tourists in this town of 75,000. There are few cars, but lots of bicycles and horse drawn vehicles. Horse drawn wagons are the apparent mode of public transportation. We left the bike in a parking lot for bicycles, complete with attendant, as we strolled through a few shops. He asked if the bike was "muy rapido?" (Very fast?) On the way baack to our hotel, every Cuban cycling the other way greeted us with smiles and waves.
While we were waiting for the bus to take us back to the airport, a Canadian couple, that knew we had a tandem with us, kept asking "But where's the bike?" couldn't believe you could get a tandem into those two suitcases. And by the way, back at the airport a small bribe took care of the overweight charge back to Canada.
I really like the 3 speed hub. It makes it easy to grab the lowest gear. Tandems are somewhat more difficult to get going, and sometimes you find yourself at a red light in a gear that's too high. With the 3 speed hub, you can shift to a lower gear, while you're waiting for the light to change.
The only modification I've made to the bike has been to swap the cassette for one with a higher high gear and a lower low gear. Braking had been a concern of mine because the 20 inch wheels have less braking leverage than a 700c wheel. But with the V brakes, the stopping has been adequate, although I can see a disc brake in our future.
An advantage of the Bike Friday tandem is that it uses standard length cables with cable splitters...which disengage for travel. This means you don't have to carry a tandem length cable, but can use easily obtainable standard length cables...available at any bike shop. Bike Friday put on lots of braze-ons, for fenders, front and rear racks, and four water bottles. And after years of being an anti-kickstand snob, I love the kickstand.
To conclude, Bike Friday makes a very nice tandem. Plus it comes apart for travel. As I approach 60, I appreciate the step through frame design. The bike's only disadvantage is that since I'm tall it does make reaching down for the water bottle a little difficult. I appreciate that the combination of the push button shifters and the 3 speed hub means that I can push the same button for the hub or the derailleur and I will always be going up a gear or down a gear.
Explore the possibilities with a friendly bike consultant. We'd love to get to know you.

Growing up, we had a gorgeous persimmon tree in our backyard. It was a striking thing in fall, all those bright orange fruits hanging from spindly, nearly leafless branches.

I didn't know there was more than one variety of persimmon available, I am going to have to have a better look. Love the salad recipe, with all the up-coming entertaining I like making and trying out new salad recipes. All the heavy food coming a good salad is a nice relief.

Lovely salad with excellent textures and flavor combinations–and quite timely. Well done site and photos, too.
Tricia - November 5, 2010 - 1:43 pm
Yep. Making this one this weekend! Looks fabulous :)
Elizabeth - November 6, 2010 - 9:02 am
Looks amazing! Beautiful picture, great recipe. Let's hope Trader Joe's has persimmons lurking somewhere.
kimberley - November 7, 2010 - 10:07 pm
Erin – thanks! You have quite the lovely blog yourself.
Tricia – Hope you enjoyed!
E – Trader Joe's is funny that way with persimmons. I hope they do indeed have them!

Kimberley – I just found your blog via Lottie + Doof and am smitten! And I am just uploading pictures from a raw kale and persimmon salad I made at friend's last week – I went with a cumin-lime dressing for a fall take on a side with tacos, but now need to try this yogurt-blue cheese-walnut version. Yum!!
kimberley - November 13, 2010 - 11:27 am
Caitlin, thank you! A kale salad with cumin-lime dressing sounds ridiculously good. I am totally going to do that the next time I make tacos!

Paloma Faith is a Rare Bird
A star in her native England since the release of her first studio album, "Do You Want The Truth or Something Beautiful" in 2009, neo-soul/pop singer Paloma Faith is finally coming stateside with the release of her second album, "Fall to Grace." The pint-sized 27-year-old's powerful voice and seriously catchy songs may have been what originally grabbed the world's attention, but her theatrical way of dressing and signature retro-inspired hair and makeup have made her a style star.

Greek organizations have been an integral part of the Transylvania community since 1888. During that time, the Greek community has strived for academic excellence and a strong community spirit.
For more information about Greek Life at Transylvania or to register for recruitment, visit Interfraternity Council (IFC) and Panhellenic Association.
Today, more than half of our student body is a member of a fraternity or sorority. Though there are eight different national chapters on our campus, all share common principles and enhance the educational experience by emphasizing intellectual and social development. That's why in the 2011 edition of "The Best 373 Colleges," The Princeton Review named Transylvania number 1 on its list of colleges with "A Major Frat or Sorority Scene."
Community Service
Members of Greek organizations firmly believe in the value of campus and community involvement. These activities help strengthen the relations between Transylvania and the community and create opportunities for Greek members to provide needed services that might otherwise be unavailable.
Last year, fraternity and sorority members donated thousands of dollars and thousands of direct service hours to non-profit agencies. Each chapter sponsors at least one philanthropic or community service activity each semester, and our Panhellenic and Interfraternity Council also coordinate numerous all-Greek service events.
The first priority of every Transylvania student is academic achievement. Scholastic excellence is a central part of each chapter's goals. As a result, the Greek GPA consistently remains above the all-campus average.
Chapters challenge members to live up to their academic potential and offer programs to assist in academic pursuits. Programs include tutoring, study sessions, and educational programs and awards. Most organizations also offer scholarships in conjunction with their national organization or alumni.
One of the most cherished aspects of Greek life is the friendships made among members. Involvement in a Greek organization expands members' circles of friends. The bond between Greek sisters or brothers is the foundation of the Greek experience.
As a Greek member, you'll form friendships unlike any found in other organizations. These relationships are deeper than going to parties and more meaningful than wearing the same letters. They are about the growth and development of individuals as they begin their lives at Transylvania. Each new member brings his or her unique abilities to the fraternity or sorority and is loved and respected the way he or she is.
Transylvania's Greek organizations allow members the opportunity to expand and develop leadership skills. As a result, campus leaders at Transylvania are overwhelmingly Greek. Members of the Greek community hold a variety of leadership positions in organizations such as the Student Government Association, Omicron Delta Kappa leadership honorary, Student Activities Board, Residence Life, August Term Scholars, Student Alumni Association, Crimson Crew, athletic teams, and many others, including academic honor societies.
Campus involvement is supported by every chapter at Transylvania. As a result, college careers for Greek students begin to involve more than textbooks, classrooms, and athletic events. A leader in the Greek community will develop such skills as goal setting, delegating responsibilities, working with a group, planning activities, solving problems, managing time, and making decisions. These skills will be useful to Greek chapter members not only in college, but for the rest of their lives.
Social Life
Social activities offer Transylvania students a relaxing break from the daily routine of studying and work. A student's social life is enhanced through involvement with a fraternity or sorority.
Traditionally, Greek organizations have provided much of the social excitement at Transylvania. Organized events for individual chapters include formal dances, date parties, parents' weekends, and alumni festivities. Additionally, the Panhellenic and Interfraternity Council sponsor campus-wide events throughout the year including Greek Nights Out and the Junior Panhellenic Presentation Ball. Each organization adheres to comprehensive national policies that allow social activities but reduce many risk factors. These social activities offer many opportunities to participate with each other and the campus community.
Transylvania University admits students regardless of age, race, color, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, veteran status, national origin, or any other classification protected by federal or state law or local ordinance.

If you're going to take the extra time to write a cover letter that you include along with your resume, you might as well write it properly! We talked to a few recruiters and found out that they frequently find mistakes so annoying that cause them to immediately discard some applications all together. Here's a sample of some of the mistakes they mentioned:
Letter addressed to the wrong person or company: It doesn't annoy hiring managers that you're probably applying for other jobs, but it does annoy them when you don't take the time to check that your cover letter is addressed properly. Sending it to the wrong person or company will get your application deleted immediately.
Spelling and/or grammar mistakes: You're probably tired of being told to check and re-check your work, but it is extremely important! When spelling or grammar errors show up on your cover letter, the person reading it is going to think that you either don't know how to write properly or that you didn't bother to check it over. Either way, it's bad news for you.
It's too long: Cover letters should be short and to the point. They should provide some basic information about how you are specifically qualified for the job in question. That's pretty much it. Anything longer than a few paragraphs starts to look more like an essay, and it's an immediate turn-off.
No contact details: It happens quite frequently - people forget to include their name, let alone a way to contact them. While your details may be on your resume, no one wants to take extra time to fish for information that should have been provided for them right away.
No cover letter: This is the worst mistake of all. You're competing against dozens of other applicants who have instantly shown that they took more time to apply than you.
At the end of the day, you just want to give yourself the best chance possible to be called for an interview. Think about what a potential employer wants to know most about you, and try to convert this into a cover letter.
A well written and properly presented Australian resume can be your ticket to finding an Australian job. The Australian job market is different to job markets around the world and it is important that your resume is presented in the "Australian way"
Responsibilities, achievements and duties need to be written clearly and backed up with supporting evidence. If these are not present, it is assumed you do not have any experience at all
Use British English ONLY in your Australian Resume - words such as "specialise" and "realise" need to be spelled with an "s" not a "z"
Ensure you tailor EVERY application to suit the job for which you are applying. If you are going to stand out from the crowd, you have to make sure that your application is outstanding
No picture is necessary on your Australian Resume
Do not include personal information such as marital status, date of birth, number of children, occupation of spouse, gender, religious affiliation, colour or race on your resume. It is true that in certain countries (South Africa, for example) personal information is included and is required, however it is not necessary or needed on your Australian Resume
Spend as much time as possible ensuring you address EXACTLY what the Australian employer wants. For example, if the job advertisement lists certain duties for the job, make sure you incorporate these duties into your current resume. If the job requires excellent customer service skills, provide examples about how you have provided excellent customer service
Get the edge on other job seekers and save yourself enormous amounts of time and stress by ensuring your resume ticks all the right boxes.

In the wake of leaks on the NSA's PRISM program, China considers investigating the tech companies to determine if their technologies are being used to spy on the country, reports Shanghai Securities News.
Are we ready to add EMC to a list of comprehensive systems and platform vendors that now includes Dell, HP, IBM, and Oracle/Sun?
EMC's succession plan seems workable. For starters, EMC looks methodical. And it also has a good bench of executives to choose an inside CEO.
CEO Joe Tucci touts EMC's ability to hit the key movements--cloud computing, virtualization, and big data--that are revamping enterprise IT.
The ever-acquisitive EMC has made another buy. This time it's Bus-Tech. But just who is Bus-Tech?
With the acquisition, which closed Friday, EMC will delve deeper into network security monitoring and analysis.
Company says that it will acquire private data-warehousing company Greenplum to form the foundation of a new data-computing product division within EMC.
The tech titan reports earnings of $628.6 million on revenue of $4.9 billion, on the heels of launching a big push into the midmarket with its sights set on NetApp.
We may be seeing the beginning of big changes in how storage is architected in enterprise data centers.
EMC's Chuck Hollis likes virtual appliances. Big database appliances? Not so much.

The Economics of Middle East Peace
This landmark collection of essays addresses the question: Given peace in the Middle East, then what? Focusing on the countries most immediately affected by the Arab-Israeli conflict, economists representing Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, and the Occupied Territories offer differing perspectives on potential opportunities and difficulties and on the actions that would be required to redirect, rejuvenate, and sustain the economies of the region.
The book opens with case studies of Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, and the West Bank and Gaza Strip. It then examines overall regional issues such as the economic consequences of peace and the economic reforms needed to maximize peace dividends. Essays in the last part focus on the transition to peace and the future economic development of the Palestinian, Israeli, Jordanian, and other regional economies
Topics addressed include the relation of defense spending to the economy, the implications of a peace for trade across borders, the benefits of economic cooperation between Israelis and Palestinians, and the role of foreign aid in economic reconstruction in the Middle East.

David Bisard (WIBC.com file photo)
David Bisard's attorney says the Indiana Court of Appeals was wrong to rule the blood samples from his client admissible as evidence of drunk driving.
John Kautzman is asking the Indiana Supreme Court to hear an appeal of that ruling. A trial judge had ruled the blood tests Inadmissible on that charge.
Bisard, an IMPD officer, awaits trial on charges stemming from the crash of his patrol car and three motorcycles, killing one biker and injuring the two others.

Durham >Food & Dining > Mt Fuji Asian Bistro Sushi
905 W Main St Ste 21B, Durham, NC | Directions 2770135.999623 -78.909757
Mon. - Sat. 11am - 3pm;Sun. 5pm - 10pm
Neighborhoods: Brightleaf, Downtown
Food was great and the out seating with the band made for a very fun night. Will definitely go back.
bad food and service – We've tried Mt. Fuji 3 times this past year to give them a chance and were disappointed each time. Service was bad, food presentation and flavor - terrible. Sushi was just mediocre. Ordered a pasta dish that we were told was a "customer favorite"; it looked like slop and tasted horrible - it was inedible and sent it back. We won't be returning until things improve. We really want to support the Brightleaf restaurants but this place needs new staff and chef.
disrespectful – I have been to Mt Fuji before and I like their pad thai so we made a reservation to dine once more on a Saturday evening. We ate our meal and our waiter was average and I have no complaints there. Literally 5 minutes after we signed the bill (with a 20% tip as usual), the hostess came over to our table and said, "I am sorry but we have another reservation that is waiting for this table, so could you please..."
So we "left" which is how I think she meant to end the sentence and will never go back. I don't care if their food is good. Other restaurants have good pad thai but treat their paying customers with respect.
Satisfied in the end – My wife and I have been to Mt Fuji for several occasions. We have always had the sushi, have never ordered from from the dinner menu. Tonight was Thursday, the usual 50% off sushi rolls night. The food has always been stellar. Fresh, tasty and the presentation is delightful. Tonight my displeasure is with the service. Arriving at six, we were seated promptly and drinks were served without delay. We placed our sushi order and the wait was minimal. As expected there was no issue with the food. Halfway through our meal, a worker(later determined to be the manager) stopped next to our table, flipped out a stepladder with a loud SNAP and proceeded to adjust the light directly above our table, after a glare of displeasure, he mumbled sorry. We never saw the server again until our meal was nearly completed and the bill was delivered. Upon inspection, we were charged full price for the two most expensive rolls and the the two lower priced rolls were marked "Free". When I pointed out the menu indicated that Thursday nights after 5pm sushi rolls were half off, the server stated that the new menus have not arrived and the half off special is no longer available. I also pointed out that I had been overcharged for one of the rolls. The server stated the Manager would come help us, but a new bill was delivered instead with the price of the overcharged roll corrected. When I said I wasn't satisfied, then the Manager was called and agreed to adjust our bill to the advertised half off. The food was great but the hassle of having to deal with the advertised prices and unacceptable service was unpalatable.
Some of the best Sushi- Slow Service – This is some of the best sushi in Durham especially when it is half price! I have had a couple of the dishes off the menu and they have been great. Always the same consistency unlike PF Changs.
The manager seems to be a little tight because it always seems understaffed. The waitstaff is great but, slow because they are way too busy!
Bad sushi – Haven't been so disappointed in sushi as I have by Mt. Fuji. For $13, I only received 4-5 rolls of spicy tuna roll when one should get at least 8 rolls of a special roll (at least in every other sushi place I have been). Secondly, the tuna was chunky tuna, such as one would find in a can, not rare tuna pieces. Complete rip-off (and still hungry!). Even though I am not local (was driving through) I would not recommend this place.
Best sushi in durham – Great sushi and very fresh. Nice decor and always fun on half price thursday. They also have many other asian dishes for those who do not like sushi.
Good food, just avoid Thursday night – We go to Mt. Fuji on a regular basis and have always had good service and good sushi. Never tried the other dishes because they don't look too interesting, but the sushi is really good and so is the garlic calamari. Just a tip, avoid half price sushi night on Thursdays, the place gets packed with drunk Duke kids that create a seriously unpleasant atmosphere. Otherwise, I highly recommend it.
First and last dinner at Mt Fuji – First time I have left almost a full meal on the table in ten years; and not ask for the rest to be wrapped up. Food was amateur, poor. The taste was quite memorable; but not in a good way. Service was slow and poor...almost comical. There are other similar restaurants in the area with similar menus that are wonderful. They need to step it up or they probably will not be around long. I should have gave the $70 spent to charity or some other worthy cause. Always a great disapointment when you walk away from a restaurant regretting the money you spent. I usually will give a restaurant a second and sometime even a third chance; but I will not be back. In my opinion the food was that bad. Sorry; but in my opinion, I definately do not recommend this restaurant.
Very disappointing, as usual – I have been to Mt. Fuji on several occasions now. The food is okay. No better or worse than P.F. Changs. The problem is the service and atmosphere. Each time, the service has been terrible. Last night's meal was the last straw. There was one table of drunk undergrads who were screaming and pounding on their table for hours. They were clearly disturbing everyone in the restaurant, but no one did anything. There was no way anyone could have a pleasant conversation during their meal. It was overwhelming. When we talked to the wait staff, they didn't care and made excuses for the undergrads, likely because of the large tip they were anticipating. Then we talked to the owner who was drinking at the bar the whole time. He said that he didn't do anything because he was "off duty"! Are you kidding me!?!? He is the OWNER! He couldn't have been more indifferent about our terrible experience. I've never experienced anything like that -- an owner who did not care about return business.
Unfortunately, this was not an isolated incident. That place always has problems and the staff is always either rude or incompetent.
