The Obama administration has directed agencies to make contract payments faster to all their prime contractors for the next year with the understanding that those companies will pass along those accelerated payments to their small-business subcontractors, officials said July 11.
The administration is aiming to get money into the hands of more small businesses, although it's a short-term relief. Indeed, officials are setting clear expectations for prime contractors by making payment habits a future factor in the bid selection process.
Officials said they are expanding the Quick Pay plan that President Barack Obama announced in September 2011. The administration has agencies working to pay their small-business prime contractors in 15 days, instead of 30 days. Now agencies are to urge prime contractors to pass along that sped-up payment cycle.
The accelerated payments policy is for one year. It's a temporary, transitional policy, according to a new OMB memo released July 11. The aim is to aid businesses in the tough economic climate.
According to the memo, agencies are to encourage their prime contractors to:
In addition, OMB wants the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council to develop standard wording for a contract clause on a prompt payment policy that agencies should add to their contracts with prime vendors.
"How they pay their subcontractors will be factored into who the future prime contractors are in that contract selection process," Jeffrey Zients, acting OMB director, said July 11 during a conference call about the new policy.
"So we have full expectations that this will be passed along and this will be part of the system going forward," he said.
Nevertheless, OMB's memo emphasizes that the policy is temporary, although officials may consider future changes afterward. When the policy has ended in a year, OMB will then provide further guidance on steps agencies should consider to ensure that small-business subcontractors continue to be paid promptly by their prime contractors.
For instance, OMB may continue to provide accelerated payments to prime contractors with prompt subcontractor payment contract clauses. Officials may allow for flexibilities they are considering as part of implementing regulations of the Small Business Jobs Act that enables contracting officers to consider payment habits as an award factor.
During the conference call with Zients, Karen Mills, administrator of the Small Business Administration, said the Quick Pay plan for prime contractors has helped small businesses already. She said companies have had better cash flow, a stronger financial base, and the resources needed to start new projects.
The policy could have a strong effect on where most small businesses work—as subcontractors. However, the administration has to keep prime contractors in check, said Guy Timberlake, co-founder and chief visionary officer of the American Small Business Coalition.
The benefits "depend on the wiggle room allowed for primes to deny or delay payments and what actions the government will take to ensure the program is executed as intended," he said.

Another evaluation factor not immediately substantative to the performance of contract or execution of the mission or program. I understand the importance of prompt payment particularly during these very stressing economic times, but this is noncritical to selecting the best solution/offer relative to the price/cost. I would prefer to see a reconsideration of what constitutes a 'responsible' contractor rather than burden the technical evaluation with social and economic considerations having an importance of a different nature and magnitude than 'can you do the job - can you perform as offered - when you're finished did we get what we asked for'.

TOPIC: Why Your Enterprise Network Needs an SBC
As the migration from traditional to IP-based communications services continues – and we are now well past the early adopter phase, with businesses every day realizing their existing infrastructure alone will leave them trailing their more agile competitors. The session border controller has become a key component of the enterprise migration strategy, helping support the migration to Unified Communications without abandoning existing technology investments. Enterprises that have embraced SBCs have shown they can securely extend communications to external parties, unlocking new ways of collaborating with clients, partners, distributed employees and the supply chain.
This session will continue the conversation around the need for SBCs in at the enterprise network edge for security and privacy requirements, signaling and traffic encryption, media and signaling forking, network demarcation, and threat detection and mitigation, and interoperability, enabling enterprises to capture the cost benefits of VoIP and UC, while maintaining essential security postures and access to multi-mobile communications across the network, anytime, anywhere.
SPEAKING: Jeff Dworkin, Director of Marketing, Sangoma
DATE: Friday, February 1, 2013 Time: 11:00-11:45am
TOPIC: The Future of Desktop Communications and Collaboration
There has been discussion over the past several years about the demise of the deskphone. Yet, if you look at the market, there are many desktop phone vendors out there doing quite well – and other equipment and solution vendors that have entered the hardphone market over the last two years. But, we also know there is an increase in the usage of softphones, both in enterprise and contact center environments, and dramatic rise in smartphone adoption, as well as growth of OTT offerings and the latest emerging technology, WebRTC.
This session will attempt to make sense of the various, often seemingly conflicting trends, to understand what the future holds for communications endpoints and what issues will drive the market, from desktop to mobile to browser.

SPEAKING: William Adam, Project Manager/Software Architect, Sangoma
DATE: Wednesday, December 5, 2012, Time: 11:45–12:45pm
TOPIC: SMB Communications Equipment Monitoring: Why it matters and the challenges faced!
Open Source communications equipment is already widely deployed in small and medium businesses. Systems based on Open Source are becoming ever more popular as the availability for SIP trunking and SIP phones increase. Whether they are used for IVR, conferencing, voice mail, unified communications, collaboration or for complex call centers, every company's communication system is business critical.
Today, as voice and video communications converge onto the data network, and as these mission critical applications are managed as just another application running on some piece of network equipment, the job of managing these communications will be placed on the IT department. Since communication is time sensitive, it must be monitored and managed differently from data traffic. Whether to identify fraudulent PBX usage, plan system upgrades or ensure best user experience, the usual monitoring solutions are not enough.
This presentation will concentrate on what is missing in legacy monitoring solutions, what the technical challenges are and how to address them in order to build a product or a service delivering the best user satisfaction.

Jeremy Hammond's hacktivism is overlooked by the media, but his actions have some calling him "the original Snowden"; Canada is threatening to come down hard on activists calling for a boycott of Israeli products; and it seems bees are far more complex creatures than most of us may think. These discoveries and more after the jump.
When a magistrate sentenced the literary genius to two years of hard labor for the crime of being gay, he said it was the maximum punishment allowed by law. That turned out to be truer than the judge might have imagined. It killed him.
Since his arrest in 2012, Brown has come to be seen as one of those subjected to predatory treatment as the U.S. government persecutes journalists who use underground tactics to expose wrongdoing.
Former-"Anonymous"-hactivist-turned-FBI-informant Hector Xavier Monsegur, aka "Sabu," has turned to the news media to defend himself against accusations of "snitching" on his colleagues.

The corporate state's illegitimacy and destruction of privacy and civil liberties are spawning a class of young idealists such as Jeremy Hammond.
Had activism merely been a way of getting kicks, Jeremy Hammond would not have risked spending years in jail for hacking the private intelligence firm Stratfor.
One cyberactivist's federal case wrapped up this week, and another's is set to begin. While these two young men, Jeremy Hammond and Bradley Manning, are the two who were charged, it is the growing menace of government and corporate secrecy that should be on trial.
Julian Assange told "Democracy Now!" on Wednesday that the Pentagon and the Obama administration are going after "bright young men, determined, courageous and moral," like Jeremy Hammond, who pleaded guilty this week to hacking private intelligence firm Stratfor, the FBI and other institutions.

You didn't think Anonymous would stand idly by after the arrests of several members of the hacker collective's extended network, did you? Well, it didn't.

"the Russian S-300 missile air defense missile (seen on Wikipedia) is defensive, not offensive. Right?" - Maureen Ann Yes, it is defensive. And I applaud your seeking out information. The Wikipedia article on the S-300 family is actually pretty good. The specific system involved in the long delayed Iranian sale is the S-300PMU1. Your observation that it is 'defensive' is correct, but must be seen in a broader light. The classic weapon system, the Sword and Shield, succeeded for so long because of the interaction. The Sword is the offensive system and the Shield is the defense which protects the offensive system. Any increase in a nations defensive ability tends to create an improvement in it's offensive capability. Equally, a nation which lacks offensive capabilities has no ability to resist maneuver intended to circumnavigate any defense. Yes Maureen, the S-300 is defensive. What it defends may not be. The S-300 could defend an offensive capability as easily as an orphanage.

Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial Walking Tour
- Soak up the atmosphere on a walking tour
- Led by a local guide
- Small group ensures personal service
While the Nazis were hosting the 1936 Olympic games, slave laborers were being forced to build a huge new concentration camp just north of Berlin, intended to hold political 'enemies' of the Nazi regime political, racial and 'asocial'. Of the 200,000 people interned, over 50,000 lost their lives before the camp was liberated by the Soviets in 1945.
The camp was then used by the Soviets until 1950 to detain former Nazis, German soldiers and political opponents of the communists. Many thousands more died from malnutrition and disease.
The key to this walking tour is the informative and illuminating narrative provided by your expert tour guide. During your 3-hour visit to the camp you'll learn important background history of the site as you walk through the Appellplatz parade ground, the Jewish Barrack, punishment cells, execution grounds and crematorium, Station Z, the Pathology Laboratory and camp hospital.
This tour was researched by historian Gabriel Fawcett, who is publishing an important witness account of the camp. All tour guides have their own special insights into the history of Sachsenhausen, and are experienced in unraveling the complex history of the Third Reich and the Holocaust.

It was formerly known as Staehellina fructicosa. Fructicosa means shrubby, which can help when looking for flowers with that name. More flowers month by month here.

Saving the Cretan Palm
The Cretan palm Phoenix theophrastii is found only on the coast of Crete and south-western Turkey, and on Crete is best known from Vai and Préveli.
The red palm weevil, sadly sometimes imported on cultivated palm species, is a serious threat to the near-endemic Cretan palm and every effort needs to be taken to try to stop its progress.
You can help by keeping an eye out of the weevil and its grubs and reporting news to Flowers of Crete.

Nashiem Myrick
Nashiem Myrick got a random production credit for "K. Murray Interlude," which features Keith Murray rhyming over a snippet of Myrick's beat for Biggie's "Who Shot Ya." Myrick was an integral part of Diddy's Hitmen production team, so it's probable he helped out elsewhere on the album as well. He and the Hitmen landed hits with Nas, Jay-Z and many more in the years to follow. More recently, Myrick helped score the 2009 film Notorious, and also produced for Queensbridge vet Cormega.

The Time is Right for Affordable Heat
Jan 17, 2013 by Sandy Levine | Bio | Leave a Comment
Vermont is poised to take a big bite out of the high cost and pollution of heating our homes and businesses. Slashing a full one-quarter of both lies within our reach.
Over the past decade, the cost Vermonters pay for staying warm has more than doubled. This strains our pocketbooks, our environment, our health and our security. Watching our dollars go up in smoke drains our economy.
What can we do? Building on the enormous success of our electric efficiency efforts, we can improve the heating efficiency of our homes and businesses in a similar manner. While some efforts have begun, most of the savings opportunity remains on the table. Throughout Vermont, heating efficiency has saved the average homeowner about $1,000 a year. (See a recent editorial here).
A new report of Vermont's Thermal Efficiency Task Force provides a strong roadmap for jumpstarting heating efficiency and renewable heat for our homes and businesses. The Task Force recommendations show how Vermont can stretch its heating dollars farther and provide over $1.4 billion in direct savings. That's $1.4 billion that is not going up in smoke, literally leaking out of our homes and businesses.
Affordable heat means lowering bills. Every year Vermont struggles to fund low income heating assistance (LIHEAP). With affordable heat, Vermont can reduce the funds needed and can use LIHEAP dollars to help more Vermonters. Cutting fuel use by one-quarter means that for every four homes that are weatherized, help is available for one additional family.
Affordable heat reduces pollution. Every gallon of fossil fuel we don't burn means less pollution. Whether we are adding solar to our roofs or insulating/weatherizing our homes we leave a lasting positive legacy for our children by taking seriously our responsibility to tackle climate change and reduce pollution.
The long and short of it is that Vermont — and Vermonters — can't afford to keep wasting energy, wasting money and wasting clean air. Vermont's commitment to affordable heat is our ticket to more comfortable homes and businesses, and a thriving and affordable clean energy economy.

Congress today accused senior BJP leader Sushama Swaraj of "misleading" the people and "misquoting" the November 4 speech of Sonia Gandhi during the debate on FDI in Lok Sabha yesterday.
Party spokesperson Rashid Alvi also dismissed the allegation of BJP leader Arun Jaitley that the government did not want to run the Rajya Sabha because of its number game.
"She (Swaraj) nether read nor understood the November 4 speech delivered by the Congress President at Ramlila Ground and acted in line with BJP's tendency to mislead the people and the nation.
"Without understanding it, the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha said a number of things quoting Gandhi, which has no connection with truth," party spokesperson Rashid Alvi told reporters here.
Yesterday Swaraj had in Lok Sabha targetted Gandhi on her statement that the fastest pace of development has been witnessed by UPA-II government.
"Except for seven years, there had been Congress governments between 1952 and 2012...were you challenging the government headed by your mother-in-law (Indira Gandhi) or the one headed by your husband (Rajiv Gandhi)," Swaraj had posed.
"Who were you referring to"? Swaraj had asked. Gandhi shot back saying she was referring to "you" (BJP).
Alvi today sought to rebut the BJP leader's contentions noting that Gandhi in her speech was asking from BJP on whether they ever ran a government which took so many "revolutionary" steps in such a short time for the development of both rural and urban areas like the UPA did.
"She has not read Gandhi's speech and absolutely wrong meanings were derived from what the Congress President had said. BJP and its leaders should comment only after reading something properly and stop misquoting," he said.
The Congress spokesperson also rejected the contention of Jaitley who today strongly objected to disruptions in Rajya Sabha by UPA allies SP and BSP saying the government did not want to run the Upper House.

What are the lessons for employers in the wake of the United States Supreme Court's much-awaited decision in Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. Dukes, et al.? While the decision focused on the propriety of using class actions in employment discrimination litigation, it also validated best practices for employers who train local managers to comply with anti-discrimination laws and then delegate decision-making, subject to corporate compliance review.
In Dukes, the Supreme Court reversed the District Court and Ninth Circuit's rulings that certified a proposed class of approximately 1.5 million current and former female employees of Wal-Mart who sought to litigate claims of sex discrimination under Title VII in the form of a class action, rather than individually. The plaintiffs alleged widespread gender discrimination, including denial of equal pay and promotion opportunities, and sought injunctive and declaratory relief, punitive damages and backpay against Wal-Mart. Plaintiffs alleged that, by delegating substantial discretion to individual managers, Wal-Mart "fosters or facilitates gender stereotyping and discrimination, . . . and that this discrimination is common to all women who work or have worked in Wal-Mart stores."

moreIt is now widely accepted that improving schools invest in teacher leadership and build the capacity for improvement by distributing leadership responsibilities to teachers. In primary, secondary and special schools, teachers are uniquely placed to influence the quality of teaching and learning and they are important gatekeepers to development and change.
This book explores how teacher leadership is an intrinsic and important part of school and classroom improvement. It investigates teacher leadership in action and considers the roles, responsibilities and influence of teachers who lead. It considers the implications of teacher leadership for teachers' professional development and focuses on ways in which this important form of leadership can be fostered and enhanced. The central message in this book is that teachers play a critical role in leading improvement in the classroom and school level and that this form of leadership contributes directly to raising achievement among learners. This book is crucial reading for all those who are concerned with teacher and school development, school leadership and school improvement. less

Our room was on the 5th floor which was lovely and cosy for a loft converted room. Only issue was the heat at night whilst sleeping. Although opening the balcony doors let some air in it also let a lot of noise in. So maybe some aircon in these rooms would be ideal. The balcony doors having said that on the other hand do a great job of blocking the noise outside out.

The ACA will improve healthcare especially for those on Medicare. Hospitals will get paid on results & the Hospitals will need to improve outcomes & reduce re-admissions to be profitable.
I can tell you never tried to purchase health insurance as an individual. The ACA through the exchanges actually will make this affordable.
How do you solve pre-existing conditions without the mandate?
Getting 30 million more insured will help out healthcare system by actually making healthcare more accessible & present 30 million more paying customers to hospitals & doctors.
I pay health insurance benefits. I am sick & tired of competing with companies that don't. They pass along their expense to the rest of us when their employees utilize the system without paying.
I wish you right whiners would quit complaining about this when these ideas were originally Republican ideas. Way back when Republicans cared about this country more than their ridiculous dumbasss party.

Hey Dave where does that money come from to help the needy? Not from poor people. The government has to take it from someone before they can give it to someone. Why not cut out the middle man and let the wealthy get to keep and invest that money creating more jobs so the poor people can earn a paycheck and improve their own lot in life? Or are you one of those loony libtards that think the rich keep all their money in a vault in the basement? No need to answer I know the answer.

Those employers will have to shift to the one size fits all expensive government plan.
If you are uninsured because you cant afford it, help may be on the way. But if you are one of the 250 million Americans with coverage, there are big problems ahead.
If you get your health insurance through a job, you might lose it as of Jan. 1, 2014. Thats when the new employer mandate kicks in, requiring employers with 50 or more full-time workers to provide the government-designed health plan or pay a fine. The government plan is so expensive, it adds $1.79 per hour to the cost of a full-time employee. Thats incidental if you're hiring neurosurgeons but a hefty increase for hiring busboys and sales clerks.
Currently, employers in retail and fast-food industries pay less than half that to cover their workers.To avoid thecostly mandate,some employers will push workers into part-time status. Other employers will opt for the fine. Either way, workers lose their on-the-job coverage.
Worse, they risk losing their jobs. Even the fine adds 98 cents an hour to the cost of labor, enough to make some employers cut back on their workforce.
As many as a third of employers are considering canceling coverage, according to McKinsey & Co. management consultants. But that doesnt mean youll be uninsured; you wont have that choice.
When you file your taxes, you will have to show proof that you are enrolled in the one-size-fits-all plan approved by the federal government. Its mandatory, starting Jan. 1, 2014, or the IRS will withhold your refund. If youve been going without insurance, or your employer drops coverage, your options will be enrolling in Medicaid (if youre eligible) or buying a government-approved health plan on your state health exchange.
Whats an insurance exchange? Its like a supermarket that only sells cereal. The exchange will sell only the government-designed plan. In most states, exchanges will be an 800 number, a Web site and a government office, like the DMV. People with household incomes up to $92,200 will be eligible for a subsidy.

At least a few conservatives now recognize that Republicans suffer for epistemic closure. They were genuinely shocked at Romneys loss because they ignored every poll not produced by a right-wing pollster such as Rasmussen or approved by right-wing pundits such as the perpetually wrong Dick Morris. Living in the Fox News cocoon, most Republicans had no clue that they were losing or that their ideas were both stupid and politically unpopular.
I am disinclined to think that Republicans are yet ready for a serious questioning of their philosophy or strategy. They comfort themselves with the fact that they held the House (due to gerrymandering) and think that just improving their get-out-the-vote system and throwing a few bones to the Latino community will fix their problem. There appears to be no recognition that their defects are far, far deeper and will require serious introspection and rethinking of how Republicans can win going forward. The alternative is permanent loss of the White House and probably the Senate as well, which means they can only temporarily block Democratic initiatives and never advance their own.
#812225 Nov 27, 2012
Since President Obama's re-election, attitudes and antics like yours prove the truth of the old aphorism that there's no one angrier than a liberal who loses -- except one who wins.
Aside from the profoundly unfortunate fact that the election means another four years of Obama-style decline for the United States, perhaps the worst result of their 2012 victory is the reinforcement it has provided for the low and ugly kind of politics that secured Barack Obama's reelection against the odds.
Certainly, the tone has been set at the top; can anyone recall any other president winning re-election and then taking a gratuitous shot at his defeated opponent weeks later? Maybe Michael Dukakis was on to something when he stated that a fish rots from the head down.
The race card first played by Senator Obama during the 2008 campaign seems now to have become a permanent feature of American life -- at least when it can be used to paint Republicans as racists (apparently, even the vilest attacks on conservatives like Clarence Thomas, Condoleezza Rice and Allen West are A-OK). EVEN THE PRESS HAS GOTTEN IN ON THE ACTION, no surprise there.
Appeals to principle will not change the behavior of the Democrats, it seems. But perhaps an appeal to self-interest will.
Has it occurred to anyone there -- trying so hard to divide Americans among race, gender and class lines -- that the party most reliant on identity politics stands to lose a lot if the other side decides to exploit the natural divisions that will exist among any interest groups?
What if someday -- sick of being perpetually victimized by the left's selective use of identity politics -- someone started systematically to discuss UNION'S HISTORY OF INSTITUTIONAL RACISM?
Or noted that allowing an uninterrupted flow of UNEDUCATED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS (essentially a "RESERVE ARMY OF THE UNEMPLOYED") might serve the Democrat Party's political needs and Big Business's cheap labor needs, but hurts black and Latino efforts to reach middle-class status by keeping wages artificially low? What if someone pointed out to Asian Americans that they're the ones paying the price for liberals' embrace of affirmative action for other minority groups?
I am not advocating that the GOP follow in the Democrats' divisive footsteps. I believe in Dr. Martin Luther King's vision of an America where people are evaluated based -- not on the color of their skin (or gender or any other immutable characteristic)-- but on the content of their character, and where politics are conducted in accordance with that principle.
My only point is that the more Democrats legitimize the promiscuous exploitation of group identity for political gain, the more likely it is that the technique will boomerang on them at some point.

Tax Cuts for Whom? Heterogeneous Effects of Income Tax Changes on Growth & Employment

Republicans Censor What They Cant Refute
The appropriate response for Republicans critical of the Congressional Research Service reports findings would have been to convene a conference, at which I am sure the author would have gladly participated, or to get the House Ways and Means Committee, which is under Republican control, to call a hearing.
Getting the report withdrawn smacks of censorship. Andrew Rosenthal, editor of The New York Timess editorial page, commented,Congressional Republicans seem to think that the C.R.S. should function like Pravda. Pravda was, of course, the official organ of the Soviet Communist Party.
The irony is that the Republican effort to quash the report has led to it getting vastly more attention than if they had simply ignored it. Censorship has a funny way of doing that.

Philip Morris toxicological experiments with fresh sidestream smoke: more toxic than mainstream smoke
- Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education and Division of Cardiology, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, California, USA
- Correspondence to: Suzaynn Schick PhD, University of California, San Francisco, Box 1390, San Francisco, California, 94143-1390, USA; suzaynn.schick{at}ucsf.edu
- Received 26 January 2005
- Accepted 20 June 2005
Background: Exposure to secondhand smoke causes lung cancer; however, there are little data in the open literature on the in vivo toxicology of fresh sidestream cigarette smoke to guide the debate about smoke-free workplaces and public places.
Objective: To investigate the unpublished in vivo research on sidestream cigarette smoke done by Philip Morris Tobacco Company during the 1980s at its Institut für Biologische Forschung (INBIFO).
Methods: Analysis of internal tobacco industry documents now available at the University of California San Francisco Legacy Tobacco Documents Library and other websites.
Results: Inhaled fresh sidestream cigarette smoke is approximately four times more toxic per gram total particulate matter (TPM) than mainstream cigarette smoke. Sidestream condensate is approximately three times more toxic per gram and two to six times more tumourigenic per gram than mainstream condensate by dermal application. The gas/vapour phase of sidestream smoke is responsible for most of the sensory irritation and respiratory tract epithelium damage. Fresh sidestream smoke inhibits normal weight gain in developing animals. In a 21day exposure, fresh sidestream smoke can cause damage to the respiratory epithelium at concentrations of 2 μg/l TPM. Damage to the respiratory epithelium increases with longer exposures. The toxicity of whole sidestream smoke is higher than the sum of the toxicities of its major constituents.
Conclusion: Fresh sidestream smoke at concentrations commonly encountered indoors is well above a 2 μg/m3 reference concentration (the level at which acute effects are unlikely to occur), calculated from the results of the INBIFO studies, that defines acute toxicity to humans. Smoke-free public places and workplaces are the only practical way to protect the public health from the toxins in sidestream smoke.

Facebook has begun testing a new feature on the sly that makes it ever easier to share music on the social networking site.
The new "Share Music" button, which has popped up without fanfare on selected users' Facebook pages alongside the traditional "Update status", "Add photo/video" and "Ask a question" tabs, allows the select few to share a song on their Facebook page by simply selecting the new button and typing the track's name into the search box. The resulting song can then be tagged with friends' names and shared on the user's New Feed.
The Next Web, which discovered the new feature, says that Spotify's catalogue is included in song searches, but points out that Facebook has deals with other streaming music services (such as Rdio), so tracks may not be limited to one catalogue.
Of course, sharing music on Facebook, be it through YouTube clips, Spotify links or any other number of other methods, is nothing new: in January Facebook said that users had shared 5bn songs since its f8 conference in September introduced integration with Spotify and other music services.
But this new button makes the process considerably easier and, crucially, means users don't have to leave Facebook to do it. Should the "Share Music" button be rolled out globally, this would almost certainly lead to a spike in the – already impressive – number of tracks being shared and listened to on Facebook. And that, if music industry thinking is to be believed, could lead to a spike in sales.
For Facebook, meanwhile, the new button quite literally puts sharing music at the top of its thinking. The only downside, of course, is that in Facebook's aggressive pursuit of "frictionless sharing", if everything (from music to news stories, social gaming scores and video clips) is being shared on Facebook by hundreds of millions of users, can anything every truly stand out? In theory, sharing is a powerful forces, but in reality could it amount to cascading walls of white noise?
