The Tri-State area was getting hammered by a snow storm.  I was scheduled to leave at 1PM, hours after the snow began.  The airports were closed. And to make matters worse, earlier in the day, two people were struck by [...]]]></description>

There are things you &#8220;know.&#8221;  For example, I know I can speak English.
There are things you &#8220;know you don&#8217;t know.&#8221;  I know I can&#8217;t speak Chinese.
And there are things you &#8220;don&#8217;t know you don&#8217;t know.&#8221;  Obviously I don&#8217;t have [...]]]></description>

The book arrived in the mail yesterday and I immediately turned to the index to see if InnoCentive was listed.  Sure enough, we are mentioned in several places in the book.
