DUARTE’S CONVENIENT TRUTH LOCAL FIRM HELPED DESIGN A CERTAIN FORMER VICE PRESIDENT’S AWARD-WINNING SLIDE SHOW By Susan Hong W hen Al Gore was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize last month, he didn’t forget to thank a Mountain View design firm for its help in developing the famous slide show that carries his message. Duarte Design, headquartered on E. Evelyn Avenue, played an instrumental role in creating the former vice president’s slide show, popularized in the Oscar-winning documentary “An Inconvenient Truth.” According to Jill Martin, Duarte’s account manager, Gore came to the company four years ago with a stack of slides and a pile of scientific research papers. He had been ask- ing around for help with his presentation when a client of the firm referred Gore to the Mountain View company. Since then, Gore’s show has gone from a 150-slide presentation on an antiquated projector to a fully digitized and animated 400-slide presentation. Using a variation of Keynote, Adobe After Effects and Photoshop Illustrator, a team of five Duarte designers helped modernize Gore’s message. Now he jets around the world with the presentation on his laptop, Martin said. Although Duarte did not design the graphics in the documentary film, according to Nancy Duarte, who co-founded the company with her husband Mark, Gore still calls to ask the firm to do more work for him — for example, updating slides as he adds new information based on current events, new scientific evidence or reaction from his audiences. Just a few days ago, senior designer Ryan Orcutt pulled dozens of pictures from the Southern California wildfires in anticipation of Gore using them in future talks. The company is also in the process of translating the slide show into Bengali, Hindi, Tamil, Telegu and Gujarati for Gore’s upcoming visit to India, Orcutt said. Orcutt had the opportunity to work one-on-one with Gore and traveled with him to Chicago for a presentation on the Oprah Winfrey show. “You come in as someone who doesn’t have a lot of knowledge about climate change and you’ve got probably the best presentation in the world in front of you about climate change,” Orcutt said. “So you’re learning about things that you never thought were related.” Besides educational, working with Gore was enjoyable, Orcutt said. “He’s a great guy, funny in person. He’s got a very commanding presence.” While Gore is one of the firm’s more famous clients, Duarte Design does work for a number of high-profile clients such as Hewlett Packard and Cisco, as well as various cause-related groups.

And VeriSign, a $1.5 billion Mountain View company, has built its business by marketing trust. It does this t hrough its encryption technology, which helps consumers trust online merchants, media companies sell authentic entertainment and communications companies transmit reliable information. VeriSign is a stunning example of how a technology company can morph into a significant corporation by leveraging expertise, acquisitions and trends. It began, 12 years ago, by selling digital certificates for Web sites as a spin-off from RSA Security. Now its certificates protect more than 750,000 secure Web sites, including 93 percent of the Fortune 500. Last week, the Computer History Museum celebrated the 30th anniversary of the publicprivate key encryption technology, created by MIT researchers Ronald Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman, that led to the founding of RSA. Today, when you visit a domain name on the Web, chances are VeriSign is helping you route your request. It may resolve 31 billion domain name requests in a day. It has recently upgraded its systems to handle 2 trillion requests a day and will double that capacity in the future. The growth of cell phones on the Internet will create unprecedented demands on routing messages reliably and securely. Last week, at the cell phone industry’s CTIA Wireless IT and Entertainment show, in San Francisco, VeriSign won Streaming Media magazine’s prize for the best content management platform for digital media. That technology came from VeriSign’s acquisition of Kontiki. You can use it on Palo Alto’s Open Media Network. To see videos and TV programs, some free, some paid, go to www.omn.org and download a viewer. It works on most PCs (a Vista version is not available despite a support forum saying it would be out by late summer) and Macs. If you are in the U.K., you can also view the BBC and Channel 4 on a PC using VeriSign’s technology. Unfortunately, access is blocked for overseas viewers. Another VeriSign project was supporting the Live Earth concerts with text messaging. The audience could send a text message saying they would switch off lights, car pool, buy fluorescent light bulbs, promote Live Earth or pledge support. VeriSign supported 65 mobile phone operators across four continents for the event alone. Every day, VeriSign carries 200 million text messages between operators that originate on mobile phones. This seems a huge number until you realize that, according to the CTIA, in June 2007 nearly 1 billion messages were sent per day in the U.S. alone. VeriSign is pushing to display content on three screens: TV, computer and mobile phone. You can view its Three-Screen Showcase, sample movies from Lionsgate, on www.verisign.tv. At the show, I joked that they need to support a fourth screen, the Apple iPhone, which cannot play Flash or execute Java. By 2009, everyone is going to be watching movies on their mobile phone, from grandmothers watching babies to teenagers idolizing entertainers. Not to be outdone by Facebook’s rapidly escalating popularity, fueled by Microsoft’s $240 million investment, KickApps has a deal with VeriSign to bring social media to mobile devices. They power the Special Olympics community site, www.thegym.org, helping viewers of the October games in Shanghai rally behind athletes and their causes. Bamboo MediaCasting (www. bamboomc.com) has partnered with VeriSign to enable podcasts and videos to be sent to mobile phones. VeriSign’s technology sends mobile media to phones when networks are at off-peak times to minimize network congestion and enable users to listen when they are not connected. You can check out Bamboo’s podcasts on www.mediatoob. com — here, at least, iPhone users are already ahead with iTunes. Expect VeriSign’s acquisitions and partnerships to pay off over the next few years as mobile entertainment explodes, even if they may be costly investments in the short term. When we set out to change the community, we started by changing ourselves. The counties of San Mateo and Santa Clara have always stood for imagination and innovation. So when it came to dreaming up ways to better serve the region, we imagined a new way forward for ourselves. The new Silicon Valley Community Foundation resulted from the historic merger of Peninsula Community Foundation and Community Foundation Silicon Valley in January 2007. The new community foundation combines more than $1.9 billion in assets with a priceless portfolio of expertise and experience in turn creating a catalyst for change greater than the sum of its parts. Imagine that.

JENN PORET Jenn Poret has the perfect job, exercising her unique combination of skills for fun and profit: She’s the one to talk to if you want to produce one of the shows that happen 365 days a year at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts. She thrives as booking coordinator because she is outgoing, patient, empathetic and a skilled multi-tasker with a degree in theater arts from Santa Clara University. LMV, which a colleague pitched to her after she joined MVCPA in 2005, gave her a deeper understanding of “people skills” and reinforced her willingness to try new things. Now Poret, LMV ‘06, is the new chair for the LMV Alumni Association, scheduling continued interactions of several hundred alumni. She credits the program with introducing her to people and organizations around Mountain View that she’d never have met otherwise, and making her able to “tap into the resources of my classmates and ... answer their calls for help.” Come join LMV and Peninsula Youth Theatre on Sunday, Nov. 11 at 1 p.m. for a matinee performance of “Oliver!” The new partnership is providing the first of many familyfriendly opportunities for LMV alumni.

If your front-wheel-drive vehicle feels a bit wobbly on the road, it may involve the driveline (which is composed of the components that transfer power to the wheels). For instance, an axle joint failure can lead the spinning shaft to slip slightly and run out of center. This condition will be felt as a side-to-side wobble at lower speeds and a vibration at highway speeds. If a driveline wobble occurs on a rearwheel-drive vehicle, the most likely culprit is a bent axle (which may be damaged in an accident or a hard run-in with a curb). More likely, however, a wobble in rear-wheeldrive and four-wheel-drive vehicles will develop in the drive shaft, usually as a result of universal joint problems. Any vibrations, wobbling, or steering issues should be American • German • Japanese addressed quickly, and brought to the attention of an automotive specialist.

Historically, Real Estate Has Been a Solid, Long Term Investment Looking at the last 40 years of real estate in California, we have seen very few times in which real estate values have dropped. In fact, according to the California Association of Realtors, since 1970 the real estate market in California has only dropped seven times, six times under 3.7% and only once at 4.5%. On the contrary, our market has seen remarkable growth. In 1970, the median cost of a single-family home in California was $26,000. Today, 37 years later, homes have seen a 2,165% increase, now selling for $588,970. Historically, Santa Clara County Has Enjoyed Even Stronger Success Is Now the Time to Buy? Now may be the time to buy: mortgage rates remain low (certainly by historical standards), prices have stabilized and there is a large selection of homes to choose from. According to the California Association of Realtors, in 1989 the median price of a single-family home in Santa Clara County was $246,847. Today, just 18 years later, that same single family home is selling for $860,000 - a 248% increase. Certainly it makes a more exciting news story for journalists to dwell on the negative, but for smart consumers it is definitely more economically advantageous to seize opportunities as they present themselves. And this market may offer some tremendous opportunities. Certainly in recent months we have seen a shift from a seller's market to a buyer's market but that switch was necessary to continue a healthy flow of exchange amongst buyers and sellers. While no one can predict the future, if history is any indication, then real estate over the long run will continue to be a solid investment. The bottom line is that our economy couldn't maintain the double digit increases we saw in home prices in 2003 and 2004 without seeing a shift. If we continued to see an upstream of that magnitude we would nearly eliminate the first-time home buyers which could potentially drastically hinder our economy. Shifts in our market are what keep our economy running smoothly. And that's good news for everyone - buyers, sellers and the real estate industry.
