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. In total, the

Encryption prescription
VERISIGN SHOWS HOW A COMPANY CAN LEVERAGE
EXPERTISE, ACQUISITIONS AND TRENDS
By Angela Hey
T
rust is the foundation of
both personal and corporate business success.
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.

LEADERSHIP
Editor’s note: Leadership Mountain
View (LMV) prepares adults who
live, work or have an interest in the
city to take on a wide variety of leadership roles in the community. LMV,
a program of the Mountain View
Chamber of Commerce Education
Foundation, guides 35 individuals
through a nine-month program each
year. Visit www.leadershipmountainview.org for more.
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. For tickets, go to www.

■ HIGHLIGHT
FEELING A BIT WOBBLY?
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

addressed quickly, and brought to the attention of an automotive specialist. At Larry's AutoWorks, we know vehicles,
and their drivelines, inside and out. This knowledge and
years of expertise mean high quality and reliable service for
you. If you have automotive issues come see us at the 101
Freeway on Leghorn between San Antonio and Rengstorff
in Mountain View. Take the Rengstoff exit south, then right
on Leghorn. There is a difference here and our customers
know it. You'll know it when you entrust your vehicle to us.
HINT: Wobbles in both front-wheel-drive and rearwheel-drive vehicles may be caused by out-ofbalance wheels and tires.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER
ESTATE OF:
BYRON A. YOUNG
No. 1-07-PR-162194
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors,
contingent creditors and persons who
may otherwise be interested in the
will or estate, or both, of BYRON A.
YOUNG.
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been
filed by: WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A. in
the Superior Court of California, County
of SANTA CLARA. THE PETITION FOR
PROBATE requests that WELLS FARGO
BANK, N.A. be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate
of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests authority
to administer the estate under the
Independent Administration of Estates
Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions
without obtaining court approval. Before
taking certain very important actions,
however, the personal representative
will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived
notice or consented to the proposed
action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an
interested person files an objection to
the petition and shows good cause why
the court should not grant the authority.
A HEARING on the petition will be held
on December 3, 2007 at 9:00 a.m.
in Dept. 15 of the Superior Court of
California, Santa Clara County, located
at 191 N. First St., San Jose, CA,
95113. IF YOU OBJECT to the granting
of the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE
A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of
the deceased, you must file your claim
with the court and mail a copy to the
personal representative appointed by
the court within four months from the
date of first issuance of letters as provided in section 9100 of the California
Probate Code. The time for filing claims
will not expire before four months
from the hearing date noticed above.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form
DE-154) of the filing of an inventory
and appraisal of estate assets or of
any petition or account as provided in
Probate Code section 1250. A Request
for Special Notice form is available
from the court clerk.

Housing Crisis or
Opportunity?
Only history
will show.
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.
If you are ready to make an informed and educated decision about
real estate, contact us today.
