Do something today you don’t think you can do. Lose phone fear here.
These days, thanks to social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace, listing your favorite books and authors is a crucial, if risky, part of self-branding. When it comes to online dating, even casual references can turn into deal breakers. Sussing out a date’s taste in books is “actually a pretty good way — as a sort of first pass — of getting a sense of someone,” said Anna Fels, a Manhattan psychiatrist and the author of “Necessary Dreams: Ambition in Women’s Changing Lives.” “It’s a bit of a Rorschach test.” To Fels (who happens to be married to the literary publisher and writer James Atlas), reading habits can be a rough indicator of other qualities. “It tells something about ... their level of intellectual curiosity, what their style is,” Fels said. “It speaks to class, educational level.”
Let’s face it — this may be a gender issue. Brainy women are probably more sensitive to literary deal breakers than are brainy men. (Rare is the guy who’d throw a pretty girl out of bed for revealing her imperfect taste in books.) After all, women read more, especially when it comes to fiction. “It’s really great if you find a guy that reads, period,” said Beverly West, an author of “Bibliotherapy: The Girl’s Guide to Books for Every Phase of Our Lives.” Jessa Crispin, a blogger at the literary site Bookslut.com, agrees. “Most of my friends and men in my life are nonreaders,” she said, but “now that you mention it, if I went over to a man’s house and there were those books about life’s lessons learned from dogs, I would probably keep my clothes on.” Whole article here.

Equity Loans Next Round In Credit Crisis
Little by little, millions of Americans surrendered equity in their homes in recent years. Lulled by good times, they borrowed -- sometimes heavily -- against the roofs over their heads.
Now the bill is coming due. As the housing market spirals downward, home equity loans, which turn home sweet home into cash sweet cash, are becoming the next flash point in the mortgage crisis.
Americans owe a staggering $1.1 trillion on home equity loans -- and banks are increasingly worried they may not get some of that money back.
To get it, many lenders are taking THE EXTRAORDINARY STEP OF PREVENTING SOME PEOPLE FROM SELLING THEIR HOMES or refinancing their mortgages unless they pay off all or part of their home equity loans first. In the past, when home prices were not falling, lenders did not resort to these measures.
Such tactics are impeding efforts by policy makers to help struggling homeowners get easier terms on their mortgages and stem the rising tide of foreclosures. But at a time when each day seems to bring more bad news for the financial industry, lenders defend the hard-nosed maneuvers as a way to keep their own losses from deepening. Whole story here.

Do something today you don’t think you can do. Lose phone fear here.
Today, respected noted recruiting industry expert, national speaker, and columnist Lou Adler wrote, over on ERE, about sourcing. He said, “…we (recruiters, recruiting managers, and HR leaders) spend far too much effort, training, money, and resources than necessary on sourcing.”
In the preceding paragraph, this author misidentified the syndrome, saying, “If you've ever lost a good candidate because someone conducted an inaccurate interview, someone on the hiring team didn't like the person's personality, or a top candidate decided not to pursue your opportunity, you've experienced over-sourcing syndrome.”
No, what you’ve experienced is bad-hiring-practices syndrome. The fact of this complicated matter is, like Shally Steckerl has stated, most companies still don't understand what good sourcing is about. Most hiring managers and many in HR STILL haven’t heard about it and are pleasantly surprised when the solution is presented. In another past article on the esteemed network, Dr. John Sullivan, stated, “75% of the corporate recruiters and 98% of the managers I have worked with have never heard of [names sourcing]”.
“You can do that?” they marvel. When the startle begins to fade, they inquire, “How do you do that?” Once explained, the next question is usually, “How fast can you do it for me?” The process sells itself once it is understood. There’s not much hesitation when an attuned hiring manager grasps the idea that if he has fifty targeted potential candidates that fit his mold to call and present his opportunity to chances are somebody’s going to be interested.
It’s called Solution Sourcing and this is what it means.
-Solution Sourcing sources only for candidates that have the required skill sets you’re seeking for your own open positions. Nothing in these two words implies throwing a bucket of mud up on a barn wall to see what sticks. It has everything to do with laser-sharp focus and nothing to do with chance. It is precise, it is effective, and it is remarkable.
-Solution Sourcing many times is accomplished by finding candidates possessing the experience and training you require at your own Industry’s competitors. It doesn’t necessarily exclude other industries but it usually is most effective within your own.
-Solution Sourcing is an activity that removes chance and eliminates restraint. It is a center-of-the-plate activity that most effective recruiting revolves around. It delivers in a few days a list of candidates, doing what traditional recruiting routes may take weeks and months to do.
-Solution Sourcing is a creative approach to persistent issues that face the recruiting environment today and an economical means to an end. Bypassing problem management emphasis, it saves time, money and effort by focusing on resourcefulness and creativity. For an investment of a couple thousand dollars on the front end of the hiring process most times a hire can be made that generates, for you, the third party recruiter, a fee many times the initial investment. For companies, that fee can be re-directed into your own hiring staff to create a compensation structure that will attract recruiters on steroids.
Lou ended his article by correctly stating, “The decline in available talent coupled with the increase in worldwide demand will not be solved by better sourcing alone. Even in a downturn, the demand for top talent is accelerating. Hiring the best is a multi-faceted problem that is getting more and more challenging.”
I couldn’t agree more. Solution Sourcing can get the ball into your hands – can you get it across the goal line?
It should be noted that opinions expressed here are mine. ~Maureen Sharib

Do something today you don’t think you can do. Lose phone fear here.
“What’s your secret sauce?” they ask. “Where DID you get this stuff?” they demand. “How DO you do this so fast?” they want to know. The queries take different forms but they all boil down to the same-ol’-same-ol’: How do I do what I do?
I spend the early parts of my mornings doing phone banks, posting in my groups, answering customer inquiries and things like that. What I do most of the hours in the day, is either think about, dream about or actually telephone names source. Yep, it’s the air I breathe, oh lucky me.
“What’s name sourcing?” you may be thinking. Names sourcing is the activity of finding people who hold specific titles, or who do specific job functions, usually inside specific organizations. These “persons of interest” are usually not found in large numbers on the internet, which differentiates the two branches of names sourcing. Internet sourcers scour the net for these folks; telephone sourcers call into the companies to obtain the names. The difference is obvious: telephone sourcers dig out the candidates behind the corporate brick and mortar walls – Internet sourcers peel them off the Internet pavement. Telephone sourcers sometimes begin their searches on the net – many times it’s necessary to “have a name” ready for the Gatekeeper in order to be transferred inside the company. Most times it’s just easier and faster to get on the telephone, call and ASK for what you need.
“Isn’t that hard?” you may be wondering. Believe it or not, about half the time you call and “just ask”, you will receive! Not many people get this. It has something to do with the fact that many people, over the last ten years, have become accustomed to working on the anonymous net, where nobody gives you headwind, nobody demands to know what your business is in asking, nobody gives you anything remotely resembling a hard time. You don’t have to “talk” to anybody on the net – the browser obeys your every command. Don’t find it on Google? Go to Altavista. Altavista not delivering it either? Try dogpile! Want someone to do it for you? Shell out for ZoomInfo – their crawlers are doing this stuff 24/7. The choices are endless and the navigating is painless. It’s the drug-of-choice for some. And who could blame them? It’s still a pretty effective delivery means for names, but, in my estimation, dwindling in importance by the day. But then, I’m biased.
Biased to telephone names sourcing. I believe this is where the real gold at the end of the rainbow lies; this is where the folks who, at present, are not, will not or have not any hope of ever being found on the internet, reside. He’s the curmudgeon sitting at his desk, head down, busy at his CAD (computer aided drawing) job as a valuable Individual Contributor to his organization. She’s the top software sales person in her region who spends half her year on the road selling her company’s product. They’re the ones living in the shadows, too busy to even think about another opportunity – until you come along! And the only way you’re going to find them is to call into the company, or network with someone who has, or can obtain, this information, to get their names. There’s simply no other way.
“Isn’t that wrong?” maybe you're thinking. What’s “wrong” about the fact that you’re working to find people with the best skill set for your opportunities? If you think there’s something “wrong” with competition, well, dear, you’re living in the “wrong” space and time. Try the serf society of medieval Europe. That might suit your fancy.
“So, how DO you do it?” you may be asking. It’s simple. Really, it is. And, I’m willing to tell you, him, her, and anyone willing to listen. When someone needs to find, say, pharmaceutical marketing managers, or .net developers, or financial software sales reps or actuarial analysts or rocket scientists or underwriters or civil engineers in wastewater or...you get the idea. The need is endless. The opportunities are endless. You get on the phone. You call the companies who have these people secreted inside their walls and you ASK who they are. And if you don’t want to do that, call someone who can do it for you! Like me.
;)

Update
U.S. to Require States to Use a Single School Dropout Formula
Moving to sweep away the tangle of inaccurate state data that has obscured the severity of the nation’s high school dropout crisis, Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings will require all states to use one federal formula to calculate graduation and dropout rates, Bush administration officials said on Monday. States’ Data Obscure How Few Finish High School (March 20, 2008) The requirement would be one of the most far-reaching regulatory actions taken by any education secretary, experts said, because it would affect the official statistics issued by all 50 states and each of the nation’s 14,000 public high schools.

Indications You Could Have a Good Name Sourcer On Your Hands:
*When she says things like, “I dream of ways to get into companies.” She actually does dream of solutions!
*She’s the type of person who knows everything about you, including your net worth, within 15 minutes of meeting you, and afterwards you wondered WHY you shared so much information with her.
*You immediately liked him, felt like you knew him a long time after only a few short minutes.
*He remarks, “It’s like a puzzle (or a baseball game, or a treasure hunt).”
*He IS a treasure hunter.
*She’s self knowledgeable. Usually very different from self-assured; which can be a fooler. She may seem like an “old soul”.
*He smiles at you first and reaches for your hand and says, “Hi, I’m Bob…”
*She’s quiet. She listens.
*She always seems to be available for you.
Characteristics that many names sourcers have:
Curious
Trusting
Neurotic/Obsessive/Compulsive
Friendly
Adventurous
Introverted but usually socially skilled
Resourceful
Honest
Patient
Funny/Clever
Diligent
Driven
Neurotic Who Makes Scary World Her Banquet
For a brief but intense period in 2006, Patricia Pearson logged on daily to Flu Wiki. This is a Web site (fluwikie.com) devoted to the concerns — the very deep concerns — of people convinced that a worldwide outbreak of influenza is imminent, and that it will make the ravages of the Black Death seem like a mildly unpleasant interlude. “Here could be found a great milling together of fiercely articulate and freaked-out people from around the world, posting to discussion topics like ‘What Will We Do With the Bodies?’ Ms. Pearson writes in “A Brief History of Anxiety.” Visitors to the site offered suggestions on how to turn back the infected, zombie-like hordes who, in a desperate search for food, will try to invade the fortified homes of the healthy.

Interesting blog post by the founder of Broadlook, Donato Diorio, about “lists”and how to measure their effectiveness – your input requested.
How do you measure a list? How important is it to keep a particular list updated? What is the frequency that a list should be updated? When is a list too old? What resources should you apply towards building a list? When is it cheaper to outsource the creation of a list vs. build it yourself? Do you want to create a one-time list OR do you need to have a documented, systemic process for keeping a list updated?
I agree with Donato - most “online” databases can only bring you candidates out of the same "fish bowl". It's like looking only at the tip of an iceberg! Why settle for that when there's a better way?
If you have a pressing need for a custom list based on your own needs criteria (you pick the target companies - you pick the specific titles you want us to find out of them) that is guaranteed with 100% accuracy to suit your present requirements, call TechTrak at 513 899 9628 today!
I would respectfully suggest to all reading this that, rather than pondering metrics and references, you invest 1/10 of a typical agency fee in a list of, say, 50names that TechTrak generates to your specifications. Then, place three progressively more interesting voice mails with each of these prospects over a three-day period of time. Watch what happens if you do this correctly. After you serve up, in about a week, 3 or 4 recruited, currently employed, high-potential, thoroughly qualified and affordable candidates who never would have answered an ad to your toughest-to-please hiring manager, and after you explain to your boss that you did that for 90% less than the last retained or contingency search firm you worked with, you'll get it.~Ted Moore, Wind River Associates

Classic MBA Case Study
As it turns out, prostitution has business principles, human-resources challenges and marketing difficulties just like every other line of work.
Among conversations the FBI captured from phone calls, e-mail and text messages was one which two principals concluded that there was no point in advertising in Miami because of a tight supply of prostitutes.
In a different conversation, the two bemoaned that the Los Angeles market was sluggish because of too many girls, not enough demand. It was Economics 101, right out of Adam Smith.
To keep customers happy, the company offered lots of options. Customers who paid cash got a discount, much as you might when you fill up the car at certain gas stations.
Two prostitutes for four hours came with a price tag of $3,600 for cash, but $4,140 on the American Express card.
Taking a page from the auto industry, Emperors even offered a ``buy or lease'' option. A customer who tried a prostitute and liked her could pay a fee to buy her out, thereafter doing business with her directly and avoiding the middleman. Whole article here.
“….a round of phone calls, financial negotiations and an assignation…”
“I know what my purpose is. I am not a ... moron, you know what I mean.” –CallGirl "Kristen", referring to her own intelligence after meeting with “Client 9”, NY Governor Eliot Spitzer, in Room 871 at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C., Valentine’s Day, 2008
Which brings up the interesting concept of client/customer relationships and duties. In our business, how would you describe the difference between a client and a customer and our “purpose” to each?

When people were asked to rate the physical attractiveness and character of someone in a photograph, it didn’t matter much if that someone was assigned an “undesirable” name. Once people could see a face, they rated an Oswald, Myron, Harriet or Hazel about the same as a face with a “desirable” name like David, Gregory, Jennifer or Christine.
Other researchers found that children with unusual names were more likely to have poorer and less educated parents, handicaps that explained their problems in school. Martin Ford and other psychologists reported, after controlling for race and ethnicity, that children with unusual names did as well as others in school. The economists Roland Fryer and Steven Levitt reached a similar conclusion after controlling for socioeconomic variables in a study of black children with distinctive names.
“Names only have a significant influence when that is the only thing you know about the person,” said Dr. Ford, a developmental psychologist at George Mason University. “Add a picture, and the impact of the name recedes. Add information about personality, motivation and ability, and the impact of the name shrinks to minimal significance.” Whole story here.

LinkedIn question asks: What is your definition of a Sourcer in Recruiting? Eminent minds spoke here.
The primary sourcer identify candidates via phone. Tapping candidates who are working with no visibility to the outside world. The only way is to call directly into organizations to uncover details on their role, title and responsibilities.
Secondary sourcer with Internet; utilizing advanced Boolean searches to identify candidates. Internet Researcher/sourcer need to have expertise in uncovering talent from the unlimited web and includes searching on forums, blogs, groups, home pages, etc. Most organization need to have a talented sourcing team which focuses on both primary and secondary sourcing or should get individuals who can do both. Once the research /data mining is done you could qualify and contacting the data. Pre qualifying can be done by the researcher/sourcer or recruiter.. that really depends on your model /org structure. Name Generation, Candidate Qualifying or Scrubbing Job Boards would varies functions of sourcing.
Definition, roles ,names may vary but building Talentpipe line and finding talent outside the usual lines- That’s my definition of a Sourcer. Researcher/ Sourcing Rithesh www.researchersecrets.com

Margaret Thatcher was the kind of woman who made men's toes curl. Her savage intelligence, command of policy and what François Mitterrand called "the mouth of Marilyn Monroe and the eyes of Caligula" both terrified and intrigued them. And she loved it. The woman who was prime minister of Britain from 1979 to 1990 declared she owed nothing to "women's lib" and surrounded herself with men—appointing only one woman to her cabinet.

"A man known for his ethics."
Righteous moral rectitude can be a dangerous thing.
Eliot Spitzer, NY Governor, Is Linked to Prostitution Ring
The ring, known as the Emperor's Club V.I.P., had 50 prostitutes available for appointments in New York, Washington, Miami, London and Paris, according to a complaint unsealed on Thursday in Federal District Court in Manhattan. The appointments, made by telephone or through an online booking service, cost $1,000 to $5,500 an hour and could be paid for with cash, credit card, wire transfers or money orders, the complaint said.
"It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences." ~ C. S. Lewis

New college graduates this spring can count on a welcoming job market as employers seek to replace a baby boom generation reaching retirement age.
Employers are planning to hire 16% more 2008 college graduates than they did a year ago, according to a projections from a survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, a Bethlehem, Pa.-based group that tracks the market for new graduates.
The strong market for graduates stands in contrast with the weakness in the labor market generally. The government reported Friday that U.S. employers cut 63,000 jobs in February, the second-consecutive month of job losses.
Nearly 54% of employers said they will use signing bonuses to sweeten the deal for potential hires, according to the NACE, up from 47% in 2007. In particularly high demand: majors in marketing, engineering and computer science. Whole encouraging story here.

2. When you have to use older women, try to get ones who have worked outside the home at some time in their lives. Older women who have never contacted the public have a hard time adapting themselves and are inclined to be cantankerous and fussy. It’s always well to impress upon older women the importance of friendliness and courtesy.

LOOK AGAIN
Hillary Clinton, Through a Lens Wrongly
This isn't about Hillary. Well, okay, it is.
But it isn't only about her. It's also about every woman who has ever been underestimated, failed to get credit for work she did or been denied opportunities to do work at which she would have excelled.
We think we're judging people as individuals, but gender is like a contact lens permanently affixed to the eye. As the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein put it, "One thinks that one is tracing the outline of the thing's nature over and over again, and one is merely tracing round the frame through which we look at it." Gender is a frame through which we look at people -- and what we see reflects that frame. Whole fascinating article here.

Congress quizzes financial execs on CEO pay 'lottery'
Lawmakers aimed their sights at three corporate executives Friday as they questioned how the CEOs managed to take home hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation while their companies were taking a financial nosedive due to the subprime mortgage crisis.
"It seems that CEOs hit the lottery as their companies collapse," House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Henry Waxman, D-Calif., said at the opening of the hearing. "Any reasonable relation between their compensation and the interests of their shareholders appears to have broken down."
CEOs who were scheduled to appear before the committee included Angelo Mozilo of Countrywide Financial Corp., the nation's largest mortgage lender; Stanley O'Neal, formerly of Merrill Lynch & Co.; and Charles Prince, formerly of Citigroup Inc. Whole story here.

N.F.L. Commissioner Roger Goodell wants to strengthen the league’s oversight on rules and strengthen his powers to penalize violators. In his handling of the spying case, in which the Patriots violated league rules by videotaping the sideline signals of opposing coaches, Goodell’s reactions have swayed from resolute to dismissive.
Goodell initially acted quickly and sternly. He levied $750,000 in fines and docked the Patriots a first-round draft choice for videotaping the Jets’ defensive signals in the season opener. The punishment was meant to send a message that the league would not tolerate a “calculated and deliberate attempt to avoid long-standing rules,” as Goodell wrote in a letter to the Patriots.
Last month, as details of the episode emerged and interest in the case grew, Goodell seemed to adjust his viewpoint, suggesting that all teams try to steal signals (allowed by league rules, provided they are not recorded) and that videotaping had questionable benefit.
Is the concern that cheating exists, or is it more that there is a perception that it does?
“When you’re in this competitive of a business, with everybody trying to win and everybody trying to get an edge on everybody, there are going to be those temptations. I do not think there is widespread cheating going on. I think we’re just looking for ways to restore a little of the public’s confidence in the game, to the extent that that is necessary.” Whole story here.
"Hence it is that which none in the whole army are more intimate relations to be maintained than with spies. None should be more liberally rewarded. In no other business should greater secrecy be preserved." ~ Sun Tzu, Section XIII The Use Of Spies

J Francisco asked, over on ERE,
I'm looking for input on ZoomInfo. I was offered a free trial for 24 hours so I used that to look for professionals who were a potential fit for an opening we have at our company. My question is this: The email addresses for 98% of these people are their work addresses. I don't feel comfortable contacting individuals at their work address regarding a new opportunity. It seems unprofessional and frankly, pretty tacky. I'd like feedback as to how I could use ZoomInfo in my recruiting (since it seems that a lot of recruiters already do) and do so in an ethical manner.
Thanks for any input you may have!
There are a couple replies to that request here. Looking backward, there seems to be a lot of discussion on ERE about ZoomInfo - here are some of the most recent:
Another ZoomInfo discussion late last month here.
Another one from January.
Again, in November, 2007.
One discussing ZoomInfo, TalentHook, BroadLook, etc. in July last year.
A May, 2007 discussion.
A January, 2007 discussion - can Zoom find low-level candidates?

Dangerous cracks in the nation's job market are deepening. Employers slashed jobs by the largest amount in five years and hundreds of thousands of people dropped out of the labor force - ominous signs that the country is falling toward a recession or has already toppled into one.
For the second straight month, nervous employers got rid of jobs nationwide. In February, they sliced payrolls by 63,000, even deeper than the 22,000 cut in January, the Labor Department reported Friday.
The grim snapshot of the country's employment climate underscored the heavy toll the housing and credit debacles are taking on companies, jobseekers and the economy as a whole. Whole story here.

NEW ERE Group: Lipstick - Click and join! New ERE group profiled yesterday in InsideRecruiting.
There is a new group on ERE called Lipstick, but don't let the name scare you off. Nearly 50 ERE members have joined so far – both women and men -- and moderator Maureen Sharib couldn't be happier. This new lounge on ERE is a place where members can talk about the issues they encounter in their human capital careers and insights on recruiting-related topics.
"It's high time we discuss these issues in the Recruitosphere," she says.
Come and join!

Don't forget to turn your clocks FORWARD on Sunday morning!
IN 1784, Benjamin Franklin composed a satire, “Essay on Daylight Saving,” proposing a law that would oblige Parisians to get up an hour earlier in summer. By putting the daylight to better use, he reasoned, they’d save a good deal of money — 96 million livres tournois — that might otherwise go to buying candles. Now this switch to daylight saving time (which occurs early Sunday in the United States) is an annual ritual in Western countries.
Even more influential has been something else Franklin said about time in the same year: time is money. He meant this only as a gentle reminder not to “sit idle” for half the day. He might be dismayed if he could see how literally, and self-destructively, we take his metaphor today. Our society is obsessed as never before with making every single minute count. People even apply the language of banking: We speak of “having” and “saving” and “investing” and “wasting” it.
But the quest to spend time the way we do money is doomed to failure, because the time we experience bears little relation to time as read on a clock. The brain creates its own time, and it is this inner time, not clock time, that guides our actions. In the space of an hour, we can accomplish a great deal — or very little.
Time seems to expand when our senses are aroused.
The remedy is to liberate ourselves from Franklin’s equation. Time is not money but “the element in which we exist,” as Joyce Carol Oates put it more than two decades ago (in a relatively leisurely era). “We are either borne along by it or drowned in it.” Whole fascinating NYTimes piece on time here.

Citing security risks, the Pentagon banned Google teams from making detailed street-level video maps of U.S. military bases after images of a Texas base ended up on the popular Internet site.
A message sent to all Defense Department bases and installations around the country late last week told officials not to allow the mapping Web site to take panoramic views inside the facilities. Google said taking such pictures is against its policy and that the incident was a mistake.
Air Force Gen. Gene Renuart, chief of the U.S. Northern Command, said Thursday that that the decision to issue a formal ban was made after at least one Google crew requested and then was permitted access to a base, identified in the message as Fort Sam Houston. He said he was concerned that allowing the 360-degree, street-level view could provide sensitive information to potential adversaries and endanger base personnel.
It's a worry, Renuart said, because such views can show "where all the guards are, it shows how the barriers go up and down, it shows how to get in and out of buildings, and I think that poses a real security risk to our military installations." Whole story here.

Homeowner Equity Lowest Since 1945
Americans' percentage of equity in their homes fell below 50 percent for the first time on record since 1945, the Federal Reserve said Thursday.
Homeowners' portion of equity slipped to downwardly revised 49.6 percent in the second quarter of 2007, the central bank reported in its quarterly U.S. Flow of Funds Accounts, and declined further to 47.9 percent in the fourth quarter - the third straight quarter it was under 50 percent.
That marks the first time homeowners' debt on their houses exceeds their equity since the Fed started tracking the data in 1945.
The total value of equity also fell for the third straight quarter to $9.65 trillion from a downwardly revised $9.93 trillion in the third quarter.
Home equity, which is equal to the percentage of a home's market value minus mortgage-related debt, has steadily decreased even as home prices jumped earlier this decade due to a surge in cash-out refinances, home equity loans and lines of credit and an increase in 100 percent or more home financing.
Economists expect this figure to drop even further as declining home prices eat into the value of most Americans' single largest asset. Whole story here.

New Patentable Idea: A Way to Invalidate Vague Patents
There’s not much love in legal circles for the so-called “business method” patent, an exclusive intellectual property right over a novel way of doing business. Critics of such patents – think Amazon “One Click” or Priceline’s “name your own price” patents – argue that they clog up the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, lead to excessive litigation and have little connection to real, physical invention.
Now the patent law community is closely watching one case in particular and speculating that federal judges could invalidate business method patents sometime this year. The case, generally known as re Bilski, involves a method for managing the risk of bad weather to crops by making hedged trades in the commodities markets. The twelve judges of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit have agreed to hear the case en banc, or in a single joint session in May, and have suggested that they might reconsider the ruling on State Street Bank & Trust Co. v. Signature Financial Group Inc., which helped to inaugurate the age of business method patents a decade ago. Whole story here.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is expected to re-issue rules requiring employers to check on employees' identities if they receive letters from DHS notifying them that a worker's Social Security numbers does not match the government's database. The rules, initially issued last August, were challenged in court, and have been modified to allow employers more time to resolve problems. And last week the federal government increased fines on businesses that knowingly hire illegal immigrants to $374 to $16,000 per violation up from a range of $275 to $11,000. Employers should also note that the new I-9 form issued by DHS changes some of the documents considered acceptable for work authorization. Whole story here.

ERE Article Published 2/27/2008 by Maureen Sharib
I'd forgotten the fun of Internet search.
I had a job come in during January. The position was for a senior-level manager in the R&D software group of a major storage business. The customer told me in the specifications that the person we were looking for was "an uber-geek who has the capacity and the desire to talk business to customers." Further clarification pointed out that most qualified candidates "have blogs, or they're named on the Web because they are conference speakers, award winners, or as with ____, have a brief profile of their background." They were also likely to have been awarded patents.
It was apparent we weren''t looking for the average software engineer; what we needed was someone with many (in the range of 20) years of experience and the ability to be a spokesperson for a company or, in the least, a product line. "Chief Technologist" was one of the titles they were allowed to carry. Read the whole article here.

Boldface in Cyberspace: It’s a Woman’s Domain
A DIFFERENT FACEBOOK Liz Smith, Lesley Stahl, Mary Wells and Joni Evans are four founders of wowowow.com, a new Web venture, which is scheduled to open for business on Saturday.
Going up against thriving well-established destinations like iVillage or More will be no small task. Wowowow’s chief appeal may be the glimpse it promises into the personal lives and beliefs of a group of businesswomen who broke through glass ceilings.
Statistics show there is a market for such a site. A comScore Media Metrix study of the growth in visitors among the top 100 United States Internet properties found that women’s community sites were, along with political sites, the top gaining Internet category last year. Unique visitors to women’s community sites reached nearly 70 million in December 2007, a gain of 35 percent over December 2006. Glam Media and iVillage, the reigning properties in this category, both benefited from the increased traffic. For some of the women, Wowowow is about more than a new business venture; it’s about speaking their minds.
“Women who are not kids, who are not in their 20s, we’ve been the object of more suppression over these decades,” said Ms. Tomlin, the actress and comedian. “I think it could be incredibly liberating on a lot of levels,” she said, referring to the site. “If not for anyone else, then for us.” Whole story here.

A New Job Track for Single Mothers in Wyoming
CHEYENNE, Wyo. — The lunch table was full of people in the same boat: Single mothers who are trainees in the hydraulics and pipe-fitting trades, thrown together and traveling to a place none of them could quite imagine.
Here in a state with the highest gap in the nation between a woman’s wage and a man’s, and a divorce rate 30 percent above the national average, some women are finding a new way to storm the economic barricades.
They are working with an unusual nonprofit organization, Climb Wyoming, which takes women who have absorbed a few of life’s body blows — bad or absent men, drugs, public assistance and jail are all common stories — and combines free job training with psychological counseling. Story here.

I was watching one of the news channels yesterday and the reporter stopped a woman on her way out of the voting precinct and asked her what her "voting experience" had been.
The woman appeared to be a rational, contemplative human bean in her forties and did not give the impression of someone who did not think about things. She calmly stated, "I voted for Hillary. Because she's a woman, and I think this country is ready for a female president." Without skipping a beat, she continued, "And because she's qualified. I think Hillary has the right amount of tough and the right amount of soft to get the job done."
Now those may not have been her words verbatim (though I did look for them on Google today and did not find them) but they're pretty darn close to what she said.
I was impressed that someone would so calmly say what many are thinking but do not voice because they're afraid of being ridiculed as being simple-minded.
Many times, simple works.
"Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that’s creative." ~ Charles Mingus
