Losing Grasp Of Technology
Let me say one word: Internet. Now, how about a couple more: Broadband Access. It's my contention that the security problems we face today in the forms of unsolicited e-mail, virus infection, phishing scams and the dreaded identity-theft issues are the direct result of giving access to powerful computers attached to the Internet via broadband access to users who are unqualified to own, use and operate such technology.
Think about it, how many of your security issues are caused by the millions of unprotected systems attached to the Internet that propagate viruses, attacks and security breeches (loss of credentials, backdoor access and other such problems)? How do you think unprotected wireless access points (WAPs) that allow hackers untraceable access will affect the problem? What about Bluetooth-enabled personal digital assistants and mobile phones that store authentication credentials and private information waiting for the trained eye to grab them? How do you think home-entertainment systems, TVs, refrigerators and coffee pots all with Internet connections will affect it?

Risks of “Baseball Arbitration” in Resolving Real Estate Disputes
“Baseball arbitration” refers to the process used in Major League Baseball in which if an eligible player's representative and the club ownership cannot reach a compensation agreement through negotiation, each party enters a final submission and during a formal hearing each side — player and management — presents its case and then the designated panel of arbitrators chooses one of the salary bids with no other result being allowed. This method has become increasingly popular even beyond the sport of baseball.
