...reach $91.7 million in 2009, an 80% jump from 2004 levels. The resurrection of online advertising is a welcome payoff for Dare, a pioneering and cutting-edge agency that Collier, the former head of London ad agency Bartle Bogle Hegarty (BBH), launched in July 2000. Dare survived the dotcom crash and is now reaping the benefits of widespread broadband penetration. And that's making for competition.

Dare's top-drawer clients include Vodafone...
...brutal deflationary shocks. They started with the collapse of the Mexican peso in the mid-1990s. In 1997, much of eastern Asia's flourishing economy was leveled. Next were Russia, Turkey and Argentina; Brazil teetered on the brink.

It's not just a way to learn about treating diabetes; it's a crash course in the myriad frustrations of a patient caught in the maw of modern medicine--confusing prescriptions, language barriers and an endless parade of strangers in white coats...
...respond to each incident. The nofly list now has 20,000 names, and up to 300 new ones are added daily. There are dead people and people in prison on the list. At least 1,000 names are duplicates. Checking the unwieldy list has caused airline computer systems to crash.
