August 23, 2017 Frederick Joffe, Ph.D.
Innovation is the name of the game for company growth. As my YourEncore colleagues Shekar Mitra and George Deckner have recently written, it's also a game that is increasing complex and challenging to win. They've discussed new approaches, bringing the outside in, and how to get the best out of innovation teams. These are all great strategies for changing the playing field. In addition, during my 37 years leading new product development for Procter & Gamble, I've found that there is one page in the innovation playbook that is often overlooked: delivering a steady series of strategic base hits versus a singular focus on periodic, high-risk grand slams. With this approach, companies can put runs on the board that cumulatively lead to more profitable growth, ultimately allowing them to win big in the innovation game.
Large companies often focus a significant amount of their marketing and R&D innovation efforts on initiatives they believe will deliver large gains in topline revenue, but may have a relatively low probability of success and/or take many years to pay out. They develop new ventures in new consumer segments from the ground up, requiring both new operational skill sets, as well as greenfield plants and equipment, which are all potentially high-reward, but also high-risk. Also, the long lead time means topline revenue is years away from reality and opens a window for competitive response or even leap-frogging into the market. Acquisitions can accelerate market entry and revenue growth, but bargains for large companies are rare, and acquiring smaller companies has lower impact on overall topline sales.
An alternative and complementary model is to grow through a series of smaller investments and wins, leading to a growth portfolio that generates profit more quickly and sustainably. Here are 5 ways to score runs in the innovation game through a series of base hits.
1. Train in the minors.
Explore smaller volume opportunities that can be tested quickly and at low cost. This might mean addressing an unmet or only partially met need for a relatively small consumer segment. Look for segments with high barriers to entry that are highly fragmented, and/or have a low likelihood of fast followers. Try to understand consumer barriers to purchase, why the industry has so many players, why costs are so high, etc. For example, compression stockings meet a very important need for a relatively small, but growing, segment of the population because they reduce leg fatigue for overweight people and can improve performance during exercise. However, there is very low category awareness, and current products are very difficult to get on and off. Product performance improvements in this space might represent a significant business opportunity that, while small at first, could grow steadily and profitably over time. The initial impact on the bottom line may be minimal, but the go-to-market model can be tweaked quickly and expanded as refinements improve results. Not only is this cost-effective, it can be done quietly, without coming to the attention of competitors.
2. Build the bench in the majors.
Leverage large and profitable existing products or services to generate smaller increments in revenue growth, but consistently higher cash flow. Existing "mega" brands need on-going improvements and line extensions as additional consumer needs are identified and/or understanding of existing needs is refined. These initiatives typically require lower R&D and manufacturing investment because they build on existing technologies and brand equities. With less emphasis on "breakthrough" home runs, teams can accelerate speed-to-market and ROI with a series of smaller growth initiatives. For example, consumer tests have shown that the taste of flavored espresso coffee drinks does not change when instant coffee is substituted for a portion of the ground coffee. Also, the time to make and serve espresso drinks can be drastically reduced with an instant/ground blend. The result is an improved customer experience (faster service) and greater volume per hour (increased profitability for the coffee shop).
Exploration of smaller revenue products also has the potential to uncover a base technology by-product that, while not big enough to stand alone within the large company, could represent significant royalty revenue through a licensing agreement. For example, Glad Press 'n Seal resulted from a P&G project/technology that formed a plastic wrap that sealed containers more completely. However, the projected revenue was below the goal for new P&G brands. Nevertheless, the Clorox Company saw this as a significant brand extension and was willing to license the rights to manufacture and market Press 'n Seal as a companion to its regular Glad plastic wrap. Both companies win in this scenario: Clorox through product sales revenue and P&G through royalty revenue.
3. Draft players to put a team on the field quickly.
While in the test and learn phase, consider forming joint ventures with companies that have expertise in adjacent categories, or with small players in the targeted category. For example, the compression stocking category is highly fragmented. Is there an existing company that could provide technology or manufacturing expertise to deploy an improved design? Are there companies with sales expertise and/or distribution access that you lack? If you are trying to improve the drive-through car wash experience, is there an auto body shop that could develop equipment based on their knowledge of car design? As the business expands, both partners in the joint venture enjoy growth and/or the relationship could evolve to a merger, acquisition, or buy-out.
4. Let designated hitters take the lead.
Identify internal employees with a penchant for innovation and demonstrated entrepreneurial spirit. Establish the innovation goal and the budget, but minimize the oversite and approval processes. Give these teams decision-making authority and ready access to any necessary legal and/or safety reviews. Because these projects are relatively smaller in size, scope, and funding, the financial risk is minimized. Tie rewards directly to results. Not only will this get products to market quicker, it will have a positive impact on corporate culture and employee retention, particularly among younger employees.
5. Tap accomplished pinch hitters to hit in the gap.
Exploring new categories and segments often requires expertise and wisdom not found in-house. Leverage the growing pool of experienced "free agents" to fill in knowledge gaps and secure resources that can hit the ground running without committing to overhead that may not be needed on an on-going basis. Accessing proven talent as-needed, through companies like YourEncore, accelerates the learning curve while allowing the company to remain agile and flexible across the innovation life cycle.
The explosion of digital and social media platforms makes this innovation approach easier, faster, and more cost-effective than ever before. Identifying exciting, under-met consumer needs that are under-estimated by conventional research, and building on-line communities to rapidly test prototypes, gather feedback, and create awareness, brings a depth, breadth, richness, and speed to the innovation process not found through traditional insight and advertising strategies and tactics, at a fraction of the investment and risk.
The base-hit game plan is just one component of a comprehensive innovation portfolio. But it has the potential to ignite a large number of projects that, in my experience, can generate an average of 10% profit growth per year. While there will certainly be a percentage of plays that don't succeed, the financial impact of failure is significantly less than a swing-and-a-miss when a walk-off grand slam is needed for the win. In addition, the company culture will evolve as players begin to experience greater autonomy and more rapid success.

Vytautas Alantas (born Vytautas Benjaminas Jakševičius, 18 June 1902 – 24 April 1990) was a Lithuanian writer, journalist, and political ideologue. Educated in France, Alantas worked as a journalist of the Lithuanian news agency ELTA and chief editor of the official daily Lietuvos aidas. Alantas was one of the leaders of Young Tautininkai, an organization of radical young members of the Lithuanian Nationalist Union in the late 1930s – this movement is also known as Vairininkai after the political magazine Vairas. A sympathizer with national socialism, Alantas is considered to be one of the chief ideologues of totalitarian nationalism in interwar Lithuania.[3] During the Nazi occupation of Lithuania, he participated in the Lithuanian Activist Front (LAF) and later emigrated to the United States where he dedicated his life to literary work. He was a prolific writer and published seven collections of short stories, six novels, fifteen plays, four non-fiction books, and one poetry collection. His writings primarily deal with patriotic themes and topics.

Early life and career[edit]
Alantas was the eldest of four children of a family of Lithuanian farmers in Sidabravas. Alantas' father briefly worked in the United States and managed to purchase 80 hectares (200 acres) of land from a former manor in Kriaukėnai [lt] near Radviliškis.[4] His brother Algirdas Jakševičius [lt] became a theater director. Alantas was taught by a daraktorius, a travelling Lithuanian teacher educating pupils in secret during the Lithuanian press ban. In 1912–1923, Alantas studied at the Šiauliai Gymnasium, with a half-year break in 1919 when he volunteered for the Lithuanian Army to fight the West Russian Volunteer Army in the Lithuanian Wars of Independence, despite being only 17 years old.[4] From sixth grade onward, Alantas became immersed in literature, writing poetry and participating in the activities of the Ateitis Catholic Youth organization. Like many Lithuanian writers, he published his literature under a pseudonym, choosing Alantas, a tributary of the river Minija.[1]
In 1923, he enrolled to study literature in the University of Lithuania, but quit a year later due to lack of funds, and worked as a teacher at a gymnasium in Plungė until 1926.[1] He continued his studies at the University of Montpellier in France and graduated in 1929.[5] Because of his knowledge of French, he worked as the chief of the French section of ELTA from 1930 to 1934. In 1934–1939, he worked as the chief editor of the state newspaper Lietuvos aidas, and officially changed his last name to Alantas in 1937.[1] He was awarded the Order of Vytautas the Great (1936) and the Order of the Three Stars (1939).[4]
Vairininkai ideologue[edit]
In the late 1930s, Vairininkai took control of the media and the party apparatus in Antanas Smetona's dictatorship – party newspapers such as Vairas, Akademikas and Lietuvos aidas were chaired by the radical youth, while the general secretary of the Nationalist Union Jonas Statkus [lt] and the chairman Domas Cesevičius [lt] supported their ideas. They were unaligned with earlier extremist Lithuanian movements such as Voldemarininkai and presented themselves as an "opposition of goodwill".[6] The Vairininkai were anti-semitic, anti-democratic, anti-communist, totalitarian and sympathized with National Socialism. They believed all political parties to be a hurdle towards creating a monolithic state with an unquestioned absolute leader at the top (cf. Führerprinzip) and saw democracy, in Alantas's words, as a "psychosis" which the young generation should rid itself of.[6]
Alantas openly expressed extremist views arguing for aggressive nationalism without compromises.[7] For example, he published an article in Vairas arguing in favor of an ethnic cleansing in the Vilnius Region after it was returned to Lithuania according to the terms of the Soviet–Lithuanian Mutual Assistance Treaty – he cited Nazi Germany as an example writing that "the Germans turned the city of Gdynia into the most German city in their country through a fully mechanical process – people were moved out and other people were moved in".[6] Alantas published selected articles and texts in his book Žygiuojanti tauta (The Marching Nation), published in 1940. It was an apologetic work that defended the authoritarian regime of Smetona.[7] He denounced international cooperation in favor of isolationist policies, and believed that national egoism, based on national solidarity, was the key to nations' survival.[8] He believed that one's nation was superior and above others, and that citizens should sacrifice for their country (and not that a country should sacrifice for its citizens).[7]
World War II and postwar life[edit]
A monument to Alantas in his native Sidabravas
After the Soviet occupation of Lithuania in June 1940, Alantas fled to Germany. His wife and son remained in Lithuania and were deported to Siberia during the June deportation in 1941.[2] In Germany, he was invited to head the Commission of Culture of the Lithuanian Activist Front, a movement of Lithuanian exiles who sought to liberate Lithuania with Nazi German support. Alantas belonged to the radical right wing of the LAF and supported establishment of the Lithuanian National Socialist Party [lt].[9] Despite being offered by Pranas Germantas [lt] to head the Commission of Culture in the Ministry of Education in the Provisional Government of Lithuania, his appointment was blocked by the Party of Lithuanian Nationalists and he was appointed as the head of Vilnius Drama Theatre instead.[10] During three years of work, Alantas wrote three plays, two of which were staged.[1] In 1944, Alantas fled to Germany from the approaching Soviet army and became a displaced person in the aftermath of World War II. In 1949, Alantas moved to Detroit, United States, where he worked as a low-wage labourer in a Ford Motors automobile factory until retirement in 1968.[4] He knew French and German, but struggled with English.[7] He dedicated the rest of his life to literary work and published several novels, short stories, and a poetry collection.[1] He was chairman of the Lithuanian Journalists Association [lt] in 1967–1971,[5] and was offered jobs editing Lithuanian periodicals but he refused.[2]
In exile, Alantas's views grew increasingly esoteric and are exemplified in his first novel Pragaro pošvaistės (Patches of Hell). Searching for a psychological refuge, he began glorifying Baltic paganism and pre-Christian Lithuanian culture and denounced Christianity as a foreign, imposed influence. He equated Lithuanian national ideology with a return towards pagan humanism, and championed a worldview in which Lithuanians would recognize only Praamžius, the chief god of Baltic paganism, in the metaphysical, humane solidarity between fellow Lithuanians in the moral, and the principle "kill your enemy if you're able, perish yourself if you're not" in the political prism.[11] In emigration, Alantas published two non-fiction books. In 1976, he wrote a study on Romas Kalanta who self-immolated in Kaunas protesting the Soviet regime in 1972. He wrote Tauta istorijos vingiais (The Nation Along the Twists of History) in 1987 and published it in 1990. It contains thoughts on the survival of the small nation, national character and identity of Lithuanians, meaning and value of the anti-Soviet resistance by the Lithuanian partisans.[1] The work was republished in independent Lithuania in 1992.[5] That year, the Ministry of Culture and Education proposed to include the book in the history curriculum for the 12th grade, but the proposal was quickly dropped.[7]
Literary works[edit]
He was a prolific writer and published seven collections of short stories, fifteen plays, six novels, four non-fiction books, and one poetry collection. He authored more than a hundred short stories and feuilletons that varied in themes and topics. He did not join any literary movement or circles.[1] His works have features of realism and romanticism with schematic writing style that resembles journalist's work. They often include melodramatic love stories and declarations of patriotism.[3]
His first short story was published in the Ateitis magazine in 1923.[4] His first two collections of short stories, Artisto širdis (The Heart of an Artist) and Tarp penkių ir septynių (Between Five and Seven), were published in 1931 and 1934. The stories showed influence of Oscar Wilde and mostly dealt with city residents and their shortcomings – a move away from the traditional Lithuanian literature that primarily dealt with the lives of the Lithuanian village.[1] Two other collections, Ant siūbuojančios žemės (On the Swaying Earth) and Svetimos pagairės (Foreign Skies), were published in the post-war years (1946 and 1954) and deal with the lives of Lithuanian refugees and emigrants, anti-Soviet resistance in Lithuania, etc. He published another collection Nemunas teka per Atlantą (Neman Flows Through the Atlantic) in 1970 that included stories concerning the history of Lithuania. The best short stories were published in Atspindžiai ūkanose (Reflections in the Mist) in 1976.[1] In 1984, he published Gelmių balsai (Voices of the Deep), a collection of six short stories that won Lithuanian literary contests.[12]
Alantas' first play Užtvanka (The Dam) was staged in 1932 and received critical acclaim. It dealt with a love story in the background of electrification. The second play, Gaisras Lietuvoje (Fire in Lithuania), was staged in 1933.[1] It invited to burn down the shacks and their heritage of Russian oppression to make way for the new Lithuania. Due to its political undertones, the play was discontinued after two performances.[11] As a director of the Vilnius Drama Theatre, he staged two comedies Gyvenimas iš naujo (Life Anew) and Buhalterijos klaida (A Bookkeeping Error). As a displaced person in post-war Germany, Alantas wrote a more serious drama Aukštadvaris which dealt with love and duty and which premiered in Australia in 1955. He wrote more plays while living in Detroit; those were mainly comedies that were staged by two amateur Lithuanian theaters.[1] A collection of nine plays was published in Chicago in 1963. It included Aukštadvaris, three dramas about the desperate struggles of the anti-Soviet Lithuanian partisans, and five comedies that dealt with larger moral issues (e.g. choosing money over love or patriotic duty).[13]
Alantas started his first novel Pragaro pošvaistės (In the Glow of Hell) in Lithuania, finished it in Detroit, and published it in West Germany in 1951.[1] The work sparked lengthy discussions in Lithuanian literary circles – some 80 reviews and commentaries were collected and published in 1971 as a separate book.[2] The novel deals with four patriots who fight the Nazi occupation in Vilnius, but the controversy was caused by the main character and his position that Lithuanians should return to the Lithuanian mythology and denounce Christianity.[1] As a literary work, the novel was criticized for its schematic and lifeless characters.[14] His second novel Tarp dviejų gyvenimų (Between Two Lives) was published in 1960 and was the first lengthy work to deal with the anti-Soviet Lithuanian partisans, highlighting their sacrifices and heroism. Alantas' third novel Amžinasis lietuvis (The Eternal Lithuanian; 1972) has autobiographical features (the main character is a writer who works at an automobile factory) and deals with the Lithuanian diaspora and their struggles to preserve their language and culture. The main character draws strength from the heroic history of Lithuania and pre-Christian Lithuanian paganism. This time, the work was criticized not for anti-Christian themes but due to heavy sexual content.[1]
Alantas' largest work is the two-volume novel Šventaragis published in 1972 and 1974. It is a historical work that deals with the reign of King Mindaugas in the 13th-century Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The main character is the legendary Šventaragis (cf. Šventaragis Valley), a wise and determined defender of the pagan faith.[1] The novel was republished in independent Lithuania in 1998.[2] Alantas wrote his fifth novel Liepkalnio sodyba (Liepkalnis Homestead) in response to a contest held by the Union of Lithuanian Agronomists. Published in 1978, it depicts a raising family of Lithuanian farmers in the interwar period. His last novel Aušra Paliūnuose (Dawn in Paliūnai) was published in 1986 and depicts the publication of the first Lithuanian periodicals Aušra and Varpas during the Lithuanian National Revival.[1]
Alantas started writing poetry in high school but published only one collection in 1982. The poems primarily deal with episodes from the history of Lithuania and express patriotic feelings: nine poems were dedicated to the Grand Dukes of Lithuania, three to Romas Kalanta, others to Vilnius, Trakai Island Castle, Raigardas Valley [lt], his native Sidabravas.[1]

job #36
was in Philadelphia, a parts warehouse on Fairmount near
16th., 65 cents an hour, right after World War II, SNAP-
OFF-TOOLS, and the manager was a bright good-looking boy,
fine posture, raven hair, Tyrone Power features, his favor-
ite saving was: "we do the impossible first and the remaind-
er later on!" I asked to speak to him one day and I said to
him: "look, 65 cents an hour isn't very much, how about a
dime boost?" he explained that they were on a limited
budget, it was impossible, they couldn't do it, and besides:
"Tommy was getting 55 cents an hour." Tommy was a 16
year old albino with the middle finger missing (right hand)
(the most important finger).
I had to take the packages to the post office each after-
noon in a wooden cart with 2 big wheels and a handle in the
back. I'd done that with bolts of cloth in New York city
but now where I worked was next to the bar I stayed in each
night until closing, and although I tried to sneak the cart
up the alleys somebody from the bar would see me almost every
day, usually a hooker: "well, Big Time, where ya' goin' with
the backward rickshaw? ha, ha, ha!"
I came in very hungover every morning and I silently and
viciously and efficiently did my work. nobody bothered
me except deeply into the 3rd. week Tommy walked up and
said, "aren't you happy? and I said, "happy? why?" he
said, "I'm happy." "good," I said, "go away." he said,
"you ought to be happy." I asked, "o.k. why?" he answered,
"because today is payday!" "but Tommy, we've worked for it
all week…" "I know, " he said, "but you see… today we
get it all at once!"
it was early in the middle of the next week when I phoned in
sick. I was sitting in the bar about 10:30 a.m. when Tommy
walked in to buy a pack of cigarettes for the manager. Tommy
saw me in the bar mirror. Marie, the hooker, was telling me
her troubles and buying me free draft beers.
I got to Tommy before he got to the door. "look, kid, there's
no need to tell anybody that you saw me here." "oh no," he
said, "I won't tell anybody."
the next morning they let me work ten minutes, then the man-
ager called me up into the front office. "you phoned in sick
yesterday and then you were seen at the bar next door yester-
day morning." I asked, "who saw me?" "it doesn't matter,"
he said, "what matters is that you lied to us." "no lie,"
I said, "I was very sick." "what were you doing in the bar?"
"a man can be very sick and a bar can be the best place he
can go to." "we're letting you go. you have 3 days pay
coming…" he handed me a little yellow envelope. they
always paid in cash like that.
in the bar I opened the little yellow envelope: there were
two fives, three ones, three quarters and three pennies.
"shit!" said Marie, "you're rich at last! I'll have a 7 with
a soda back!" "give me 2 Buds in the bottle," said Lilly the
lesbian. "gimme a draft beer," said the frogman. "give me
a ten and water," I said.
but the drinks came back as they always do in good places…
about 10:45 a.m. Tommy walked in for a pack of cigarettes.
16 is pretty young to buying smokes. he saw me in the
mirror. I got to Tommy before he got to the door. I held
him by the arm and looked at him. "I didn't tell anybody,"
he said, "honest, I didn't tell anybody!" I let go of his
arm and he walked out.
when I sat back down Marie said, "molesting young boys now,
I told that yes I was and wouldn't she like to come to
Camden with me that night to catch the fights?

Chef Brings Its IT Automation Portfolio to the Cloud
CI/CD / Containers / Development
23 May 2017 8:30am, by Joab Jackson
Moving IT operations to the cloud will require a good deal of automation, argues IT management software provider Chef. To this end, the company has consolidated more of its technologies into its software deployment platform, Chef Automate, to further ease the process of containerizing applications and moving them to the cloud.
"A lot of companies are looking at next generation technologies like the cloud and containerization," said Ken Cheney, Chef chief marketing officer. Chef can help these organizations "create a consistent and repeatable pattern" of software deployment into these new environments, Cheney said.
"Continuous automation, when you do it right, is a bridge between your current environment and where you need to go in the future," Cheney said.
These updates will be demonstrated this week at ChefConf, the company's annual user conference being held this week in Austin, Texas.
The Chef Automate package, built on the company's widely used open source self-named IT automation software, now includes capabilities for security and compliance checking, as well as the ability to further automate the process of assembling and updating container-based applications. The company has also released a number of plugins to extend compliance checking operations into the AWS, Azure and VMware vSphere-based cloud services.
Automate's compliance checking capabilities come from Chef's open source InSpec, introduced in 2015 as stand-alone software. InSpec compares the current configuration of an application with a set of security checks to ensure no vulnerabilities exist in the third-party software libraries contained within that package.
"As part of every software build, every time you push a change, you can have code tests for your infrastructure and application stacks for that vulnerability," Cheney explained. The software can check for known vulnerabilities, such as the recent WannaCry random attack, as well as to ensure that third-party software being used within a package, such as ssh, are the latest versions. InSpec also checks against guidelines from the organization for external or internal compliance polices.
The InSpec software has also been updated to work with cloud deployments. Three new incubation projects — InSpec AWS, InSpec Azure, and InSpec vSphere — provide a set of APIs for scanning cloud deployments to check for vulnerabilities and compliance.
Habitat Catches On
Introduced last year, Habitat is the company's open source software for packaging, building and managing portable apps within containers. Chef has rolled Habitat into Automate and continues to develop the technology. This year brings a set of helper functions called Habitat Scaffolding, which speed the containerization of apps built in Ruby on Rails, Go and Node.js (with other languages and frameworks to follow).
To further speed the deployment process, the company has also introduced Habitat Plans, a set of plans for quickly rolling out system software for a variety of common-use scenarios. these build plans cover a range of common uses:
Big Data: For deployments of Cassandra, Spark, Storm, Kafka, Zookeeper, CrateDB.
Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, Shield backup.
Developer and Content Tools: Jenkins, Drupal, WordPress.
Monitoring: Prometheus, Grafana.
Middleware: WebSphere, Mulesoft, Varnish, RabbitMQ, Consul.
Habitat now also features the ability to automatically rebuild core applications when the software libraries the application relies on get updated. Chef is also launching a public build service for Habitat, which will streamline the process of building and storing Habitat-based applications in a hosted environment.
Since the launch of Habitat, Chef has seen considerable interest in the technology, especially for "organizations that are going down the path of putting containers into production," Cheney said. It solves the pain point of how to package a complex application within a container and "have it work correctly," he said. One company uses Habitat to package legacy apps so that they can be run in a microservices environment. Another uses the software to package stateful application for the Cloud Foundry platform.
Over 1,500 people are expected to attend ChefConf this year. Chef software has been downloaded over 40 million times, and the company estimates it has a community of 70,000 members around the software, as well as 25,000 organizations using the software. The company has doubled its enterprise customer based over the past two years, and has enjoyed sales growth of 50 percent in 2016, thanks in no small part to expansion into the Europe and Asian markets.
Check back at The New Stack through this week for more coverage of ChefConf 2017.
Chef, Cloud Foundry Foundation and VMware are sponsors of The New Stack.

Robert Eustace's 50,000 Square Foot Waterfront Mega Mansion
Jensen Beach, FL.
The Magnificent Estate was designed by architect Mitchell Kunik of Affiniti Architects, and was built by Turtle Beach ConstructionCo.
It boasts 6 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and a 22-car garage.
The home's 42 gothic columns, 11 domes, 11 rotundas and 10 high arched windows are visible from the beach — and beachgoers have marveled at the mansion's progress since construction began in 2002.
But now the more than $8 million project, located just north of the Jensen Beach Causeway, at 4545 N.E Ocean Blvd., is nearing completion. The home has 20,000 square feet of living space. With the garage and decks, it totals more than 50,000 square feet. It can withstand up to 200-mile-per-hour hurricane winds. The mansion also has an 11,500 square-foot guesthouse with three to four bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths. Robert Eustace, the new mansion's owner, and his wife, Elsa, will be living in the home full-time, Souza said.

Richest Man in Illinois, Buys Gold Coast Condo for $13 Million.
Billionaire hedge fund manager Ken Griffin has added another trophy property to his real estate portfolio, paying $13.3 million for a condominium that takes up an entire floor at the Waldorf Astoria. Cook County property records show a limited-liability company tied to Griffin, the richest man in Illinois and founder of the Chicago-based hedge fund and financial services firm Citadel, bought the 37th-floor condo at 11 E. Walton St. in August.
The Griffin venture bought the condo from former Chicago Mercantile Exchange CEO James McNulty, who paid $6.88 million in 2010 for the unit. Records show Citadel Chief Operating Officer Gerald Beeson signed a mortgage secured by the condo.
It's the latest high-profile condo purchase for Griffin, who is in the middle of a high-profile divorce battle from his wife, Anne Dias Griffin.
In 2012, after the couple separated, he paid $15 million for a full-floor penthouse in Park Tower — which at the time was the most expensive purchase price ever pa…

Intel Keeps Its Eye on Local Markets
Operating under the premise that consumers will continue to spend most of their cash locally, EyeOnMarket plans to launch Sept. 20 as the Web's leading provider of local shopping information.
The heart of the EyeOnMarket plan is a shopping engine created by parent company Intel Corp. The engine will be part of customized Web pages that will appear at the local shopping sections of national and regional portals as well as Internet service providers.
"We want to park ourselves on destination portals and provide information in an easy-to-use format," said Ganesh Prasad, general manager at EyeOnMarket, which is part of Intel Corp.'s New Business Group, Chandler, AZ. "Consumers will be able to search according to price, model and manufacturer based on their ZIP code. They can also do a keyword search and browse by category."
The company said it is negotiating with six portals and one ISP as well as "more than two dozen of the nation's top retailers and manufacturers," but it would not reveal any of the companies.
It also would not provide the number of retailers and manufacturers that will participate in the program.
The goal is to connect retailers and manufacturers with consumers online for purchases at local stores offline. "Consumers continue to shop locally despite the growth of the Internet," Prasad said. "This will be a primary research tool they will use to buy at their local stores."
EyeOnMarket believes consumers will flock to its offering because it will save them time and money. The company will add promotions, coupons and rebates to its service as well as Consumer Reports ratings to make the service a "one-stop, local shopping experience," Prasad said. "We will give them the best research for making a decision."
A basic listing using the service is free. Companies can pay to add logos, images, descriptions, prices and links to their Web sites, as well as to sponsor a category. EyeOnMarket plans to add a system in the near future that will allow client companies to measure response from their participation in the service.
Aside from the Internet, the service will reach Web-enabled cell phones and personal digital assistants with its "instant sales notification."
With the exception of books, software and a handful of other items, consumers will always look to make many of their purchases offline, Prasad said. "They like to look, touch and feel. A leather couch can be swiveled on your screen all you like, but it's a different experience to sit in it," he said. "Plus, they can return an item easily if they're not happy with it. Then there's the perception of credit-card safety and shipping charges."
EyeOnMarket will derive its revenue from advertising, merchant services, affiliate programs and licensing fees. Its Web site is located at EyeOnMarket.com.

Pueblo Colorado is at the base of a vertical sandstone escarpment rising about 250 feet above the surrounding terrain.
It is adjacent to the Arroyo de la Jara which often has water in it, and by a side canyon where springs are present at the base of the sandstone cliffs. Tano descendants resident at the Keres pueblo of Santo Domingo Pueblo claim the ruins of the Galisteo Basin as ancestral villages and refer to LA 62 as Tze-man Tuo, or "place where the eagle's claw is inside." The name Pueblo Colorado was coined by N. C. Nelson (1914), referring to the red sandstone cliffs and building stone found there.
Pueblo Colorado (LA 62) includes three (possibly four) components: two or three prehistoric and one historic. The earliest prehistoric component is represented by a dispersed artifact scatter, primarily chipped stone, below the east-facing cliff, 400 to 500 m south southwest of the spring. Obsidian, basalt, and rhyolite are common material types in this area, hinting at a late Archaic occupation, which is supported by the identification of a corner-notched dart point. Immediately southwest of this dispersed artifact scatter is a late Developmental (AD 1075–1175) habitation area represented by a moderately dense artifact scatter and dispersed sandstone cobbles within a stand of saltbush. Although no "mound" or depressions were observed, this area likely contains 6 to 10 jacal rooms and 1 to 2 pit structures. The principal occupation is the large Classic-period village of Pueblo Colorado proper. Nelson (1914) reported 11 roomblocks and estimated 881 rooms. Two linear east-west roomblocks define the northern limit of the building, and a third defines the southern limit. A single detached north-south roomblock lies to the west. North-south roomblocks articulate with east-west buildings, forming two enclosed plazas in the western portion of the village. Nelson excavated 40 rooms, primarily in Roomblock IV in the northwest part of the site. To the northeast other smaller plazas were formed within detached L-shaped roomblocks. It is within these L-shaped plazas that the only kiva depressions are apparent. The largest plaza, however, is also L-shaped, bounded on the west by one of the north-south roomblocks that form the enclosed plazas and the southern east-west roomblock. Ceramic cross-dating suggests that the principal occupation occurred between AD 1325 and 1500.
Within this bounded space is a large C-shaped water-control feature interpreted as a reservoir. A carpet of artifacts is present within the architectural area, with mounded refuse present to the north and south of the east-west roomblocks. This core area measures 200 m north-south by 300 m east-west. Outside this core area relatively few artifacts were identified, typically occurring in isolated concentrations, perhaps fieldhouse locations. Other prehistoric features within the site boundaries include an isolated wall approximately 400 m to the northwest in the direction of the spring, constructed of small unshaped sandstone boulders. This feature runs east from the arroyo to the base of the cliff, where it becomes increasingly less discernible. A shrine consisting of a circular arrangement of rock with an opening to the east defined by upright slabs is positioned on a low rise approximately 130 m south southwest of the village. Finally, dozens of petroglyphs and pictographs were identified along the cliff face and boulders north of the Classic-period village.
The historic component consists primarily of the remains of a nineteenth-century homestead and associated features, including a house, barn, and a corral. This occupation took advantage of readily available building materials and the enclosed plaza of Roomblocks II and III illustrated on Nelson's map (1914). It is quite possible that the reservoir is associated with this or another historic component. Collections from Pueblo Colorado are held at the Laboratory of Anthropology. H. P. Mera's original collection of sherds from LA 62 and the American Museum of Natural History.
The site is HPD No. 107 in the State Register of Cultural Properties. It is entirely privately owned.
The La Cienega Pueblo and Petroglyphs site (LA 3) is also known as Pueblo Mesita and Pueblo Cienega...
