When I qualified as a Doctor at 25 years old, I thought I knew everything there was to know about health and medicine. By the age of 30, I realized my medical training was limited and I didn't really know much about health and wellness. So I went on a journey of discovery to expand my horizons and studied acupuncture, Chinese medicine, Functional medicine, nutrition, yoga and Buddhism. By 50, I realized my life training was limited too as my daughter (a teenager at the time) was pointing out "how stupid" I was. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-frank-lipman/new-years-resolutions-20_b_408104.html

Las Vegas' CityCenter And Aria Casino: $8.5B Project Is Sin

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/30/las-vegas-citycenter-and-_n_373608.html LAS VEGAS, (AP, OSKAR GARCIA) -- Sin City is pinning its biggest bet ever -- $8.5 billion -- on a 67-acre, six-tower complex of striking hotels, gourmet restaurants, swank shops and a single casino that starts opening Tuesday in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip. Many watching the high-stakes roll of the dice shudder at the thought that nearly 5,900 rooms in three hotels will be awaiting guests when CityCenter's crown jewel -- the 4,004-room Aria Resort & Casino -- opens Dec. 16. That will increase Las Vegas' already saturated inventory by more than 4 percent at a time when fewer visitors are coming and room prices have fallen 25 percent from last year. CityCenter's debut might pull rates even lower, but state leaders hope the complex leads Nevada out of two years of economic misery that has hit the state with record unemployment, foreclosures and bankruptcies. Check out a slideshow of photos from the Aria Hotel in Las Vegas' CityCenter:

Posted on April 25, 2010 by Global MindShift 4 Primary Relationships As the week unfolds, you’ll find here a series of posts that parallels a week-long, on-line workshop we’re having on the Global MindShift website, called Unleashing Your Potential.

IA Webinar: Real-time Working with Collaboration Collaboration – it’s all the rage, and to some it is “new.” Yet for any project, whether it is assembling a sales proposal in response to a Request For Proposals (RFP), to the collaboration and coordination necessary to build an aircraft carrier, or any size or style of collaboration in between, there are several questions to consider when it comes to modern day collaboration, what many are calling Enterprise 2.0, or for those with a longer history in business collaboration, Knowledge Management 2.0.

As someone who aspires to be a new media expert, I don't actually use many popular social media services. I dislike Facebook, I rarely tweet, and before winning the News Challenge I had never written a blog post. It would seem like I'm downright un-hip; yet I'm a young technologist who has been communicating online for more than half of my life.

Do you put too much emphasis on industry experience when you’re searching for candidates?
