If you would like to follow me on Twitter to take advantage of this information, you'll find me there as @nancyvantine. I'll be back next week;… [read post]

Rather than rely on traditional innovation that comes from one individual or a small group of individuals or those working for or with a single entity or as part of a joint venture, crowdsourcing technologies take problems to millions of people and capture the most creative solutions, allowing them to be pursued and… [read post]

A cooperative’s board of trustees could refuse to approve a lease renewal because the tenants smoked a lot, a New York judge has ruled.
