Yesterday, they published the list of organizations that have lost their exemption from paying income tax due to failure to file required reports in 2007, 2008, and 2009. The "Fall Festival" advertised on their homepage is for 2008, and the "events" link opens up to a May 2009 calendar. Long overdue, the IRS finally pulled the trigger.

The data were collected in the summer of 2009 by asking people to reflect on their volunteering during all of 2008. On one of the pages, amid all the charts on who volunteers and what they do, is a big banner depicting the following result: "33 percent of Arizona adults volunteered in 2008." One in three. But is it right? One in four.

Streamline: The literal definition is to design in a form that offers the least resistance to fluid flow. I hope to learn the art of sentence combining. I want to do a better job of connecting people in my network to one another, the art of network weaving and building social capital. Then, try to think in even broader terms.
