"Soon," writes Google founder Eric Schmidt in his book, The New Digital Age, "everyone on Earth will be connected." He goes on to advise: " ... we must recognize and celebrate innovation in its own context."
"Soon," writes Google founder Eric Schmidt in his book, The New Digital Age, "everyone on Earth will be connected." He goes on to advise: " ... we must recognize and celebrate innovation in its own context."
In the context of the Hudson Valley, that recognition should come sooner than later. When it comes to integrating technology into our social and economic needs, the results can be staggering. The technology revolution has the capacity to create hundreds of jobs while making us more efficient and better off, but we have not yet caught up to its application.
How is this thinking relevant to our region? Let's take one example: our outlier county. Sullivan has the highest unemployment, highest percentage of poverty, worst health care outcomes and a fairly robust list of needs when it comes to the elements of sound governance (think jail, landfill, job opportunities and so forth). In some ways, Sullivan is a long-term work in progress, and no one should give up on it.
When we think of possibilities, places like Sullivan tend to start with a near-blank slate. That's a good thing. There is no need to tear down technologically in order to build up. Having less today means Sullivan could leapfrog over its neighbors to have a better tomorrow.
Take almost any one of Sullivan's problems and apply technology. Start with the jail. Stop thinking of the traditional solution, i.e., build new, as the solution to the county's costly, decrepit, century-old jail. Allow technology to monitor nonviolent prisoners and vastly reduce the need for new cells and personnel. The National Institute for Justice has funded research and development of corrections technology for several years now. It is not a passing fancy.
Take health care. The county has the second-worst indicators in the state. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation survey has ranked Sullivan 61st in a state of 62 counties (the Bronx is worse). High rates of smoking, drinking and the like are compounded by too many uninsured and too few physicians. But get past the bad news. Imagine instead that every household has a laptop or smart phone for monitoring medication and basic health care measures like blood pressure, and that these are connected to a digital wellness center nearby.
Next, imagine an economy that serves its local clientele better because it serves the globe. Think of an initiative that ensures every business has connectivity to the Internet. Instead of relying on walk-in trade alone, businesses are strengthened through connectivity to the needs of the nation, if not the world.
By that same token, envision a once-struggling community college reinvented, by virtue of its existing academic resources, as the physical and virtual center for education in tourism, agriculture and food. Imagine a faculty empowered to integrate every piece of technology to make it happen.
The White House broadband report released just last month tells us that "in 2000, 4.4% of American households had a home connection to broadband; by 2010 that number had jumped to 68%."
We are unwise to ignore where this is heading.
So, go ahead. Imagine a top-to-bottom makeover of our outlier county and of other places that are stuck in low gear. Envision a new day. Difficult, yes. Impossible, no.
Jonathan Drapkin is president and CEO of Hudson Valley Pattern for Progress, a nonprofit research, policy and planning group that seeks regional solutions to increase the vitality of the region. He can be reached at email@example.com.

Public television star Huell Howser, who died this month of prostate cancer, did not talk openly about his illness because "he never wanted the story to be about him," his assistant said.
The host of the TV series "California's Gold," which focused on unique and commonplace locales around the state, died Jan. 7 at his home in Palm Springs.
"He was dedicated to doing his job even when he was sick," said Ryan Morris, his assistant of seven years.
Howser had ambitious plans last year for the show that he ended up having to cancel, Morris said. One of those stories would have been on the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco, which was booked and canceled several times over the summer because of his illness.
"That was one of the most difficult moments for Huell emotionally," Morris said Thursday. "Huell always wanted to do that story."

U.S. Marine Sgt. William Soutra Jr. of Worcester — surrounded by his family and friends — stood tall and proud Monday when Navy Secretary Ray Mabus presented him with the distinguished Navy Cross, the American naval service's highest honor. "I'm a third generation Marine. I guess it gets in your blood," he explained.
U.S. Marine Sgt. William Soutra Jr. — surrounded by his family and friends — stood tall and proud Monday when Navy Secretary Ray Mabus presented him with the distinguished Navy Cross, the American naval service's highest honor.
But, if he had the choice, he probably would have preferred having a beer with his close friend, Staff Sgt. Christopher J. Antonik.
Sgt. Soutra, a Worcester native and a member of a Marine special operations unit, was given the venerated award for helping his wounded platoon mates escape a deadly ambush in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan in July of 2010.
The 27-year-old tended to the wounded during the fierce two-day firefight in the Taliban stronghold and eventually guided the team out of harm's way.
Sgt. Soutra, a 2004 graduate of Worcester Vocational High School, repeatedly found himself in the line of fire while dragging away the injured and orchestrating the defense for his pinned down unit.
Staff Sgt. Antonik, a 29-year-old from Crystal Lake in Illinois, was one of three who died on the battlefield.
He had gotten married just six months earlier.
"I'm grateful that I received the award but Chris didn't make it and that hurts," said Sgt. Soutra, a canine handler who was attached to the special-ops team with his bomb sniffing dog, Posha.
The animal was put down about a year ago because it had cancer. Sgt. Soutra had Posha cremated and he still has the remains.
"Life in Afghanistan is tough and you expect bad things to happen," said Sgt. Soutra, who has also served two deployments in Iraq. "But that had to be one of the worst days. Our country lost a great warrior."
Sgt. Soutra, a member of the 1st Marine Special Operations Battalion, U.S. Marine Corps Special Forces Operating Command, studied carpentry at Worcester Vocational and played on the lacrosse, football, and hockey teams.
He said he always wanted to be a Marine but put off joining because of his mother's concerns.
"Everything was blowing up in Iraq and Afghanistan and I was really worried about Bill's safety," said Penny Soutra, his mom. "I kept pushing him not to join."
In deference to his mother's wishes, Sgt. Soutra went to Becker College where he played lacrosse.
But classroom life wasn't for him and he decided to enlist a year later.
"He told me that he was just wasting my money," said his mother.
Sgt. Soutra said the rigors of Marine life fit his lifestyle perfectly.
"I'm a third generation Marine. I guess it gets in your blood," he explained.
His father, William Soutra Sr., a Vietnam-era veteran, passed away in 2003.
Military officials praised Sgt. Soutra.
For example, Major James Rose, who received a Silver Star for his own responses during the ambush, said that Sgt. Soutra's job was to identify hidden bombs and not lead commandos.
Officials said Sgt. Soutra "relentlessly" fired his M4 rife while rescuing his comrades and coordinating defensive ground efforts with American jets and helicopters.
For his part, Sgt. Soutra downplayed his actions and said he was no hero.
"My response was balanced by my reactions and my training," he explained. "You care for everyone on your side. You just get into the zone and do what's expected of you."
Meanwhile, Mrs. Soutra said she is proud of her son.
"It's so surreal," she said. "My son's a hero."
In addition to Sgt. Soutra and Maj. Rose, two others were recognized during Monday's ceremony at Camp Pendleton in California. Staff Sgt. Frankie Shinost Jr. and Navy Corpsman Patrick Quill received Silver Stars.
Mrs. Soutra said her son will be reunited with his family in Worcester on Dec. 22.
She said someone, who had heard of his actions, gave up their airline tickets so the Marine could come home for Christmas.

Walla Walla, Wash. and St. Helena, Calif. (PRWEB) January 09, 2013
Charles Smith (K Vintners, Charles Smith Wines) and Charles Bieler (Three Thieves, Bieler Père et Fils & Gotham Project) today announced that they have formed a strategic alliance with Trinchero Family Estates (TFE), which will manage sales, distribution and marketing for their successful joint wine venture, Charles & Charles. This will be the first Washington state brand for TFE, whose growing portfolio includes such iconic brands as Sutter Home, Ménage à Trois and Joel Gott wines.
Smith and Bieler will continue to direct the winemaking and vision for the brand, sourcing the highest quality grapes from their strong grower relationships throughout Washington State, and crafting and bottling the wines in the Columbia Valley. "This alliance is awesome for Charles & Charles wines and huge for the entire Washington wine industry. It's very exciting to work with Trinchero given the power of their distribution and sales network," said Charles Smith.
Bob Torkelson, President and COO of TFE, states, "We are excited to be selected by Charles & Charles to help bring their wine to more consumers throughout US and internationally. Bieler and Smith have created a solid brand with a loyal following and we think it's a great fit for our portfolio." Torkelson added, "Washington wines are on fire, and sales of Washington table wines are outpacing total table wine by 53% (5.3% vs. 3.5%)."*
TFE enters this strategic alliance with familiar faces, as Charles Bieler has been working with TFE on the successful Three Thieves brand. Bieler adds, "I'm thrilled to link up, via Charles & Charles, two great friends in Trinchero Family Estates and Charles Smith."
The current Charles & Charles portfolio includes a Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah Red Blend and a Rosé of Syrah (which was #42 on this year's Wine Spectator's Top 100 list). The brand has grown and generated considerable demand over the last three years and is outpacing the Washington category by 25.3%.* As for what's next for the brand, Smith adds, "There's always something new up our sleeves."

What would be the problem of teaching the Four Noble Truths to a beginner? I thought the 4NT were a prescription for illness. Might they get depressed thinking about dukkha, or get tied up in remorse regarding past wrong livelihood etc.?Access to Insight wrote:At each stage of this "gradual training" (anupubbi-sikkha), the practitioner discovers a new and important dimension of the law of cause-and-effect — kamma, the cornerstone of Right View. It is thus a very useful organizing framework with which to view the entirety of the Buddha's teachings.
The gradual training begins with the practice of generosity, which helps begin the long process of weakening the unawakened practitioner's habitual tendencies to cling — to views, to sensuality, and to unskillful modes of thought and behavior. This is followed by the development of virtue, the basic level of sense-restraint that helps the practitioner develop a healthy and trustworthy sense of self. The peace of mind born from this level of self-respect provides the foundation for all further progress along the path. The practitioner now understands that some kinds of happiness are deeper and more dependable than anything that sense-gratification can ever provide; the happiness born of generosity and virtue can even lead to rebirth in heaven — either literal or metaphorical. But eventually the practitioner begins to recognize the intrinsic drawbacks of even this kind of happiness: as good as rebirth in wholesome states may be, the happiness it brings is not a true and lasting one, for it relies on conditions over which he or she ultimately has no control. This marks a crucial turning point in the training, when the practitioner begins to grasp that true happiness will never be found in the realm of the physical and sensual world. The only possible route to an unconditioned happiness lies in renunciation, in turning away from the sensual realm, by trading the familiar, lower forms of happiness for something far more rewarding and noble. Now, at last, the practitioner is ripe to receive the teachings on the Four Noble Truths, which spell out the course of mental training required to realize the highest happiness: nibbana.
Many Westerners first encounter the Buddha's teachings on meditation retreats, which typically begin with instructions in how to develop the skillful qualities of right mindfulness and right concentration. It is worth noting that, as important as these qualities are, the Buddha placed them towards the very end of his gradual course of training. The meaning is clear: to reap the most benefit from meditation practice, to bring to full maturity all the qualities needed for Awakening, the fundamental groundwork must not be overlooked. There is no short-cutting this process.
