Using Big Data for Dog Mapping in NYC
January 25, 2013 By News Staff
Using data from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, public radio station WNYC has mapped the names, addresses and breeds of nearly 100,000 canines in the city -- not only the popular breeds in each neighborhood, but also the most popular names.

Government-to-Government IT Services: What Works and What's Left to Work OutThis Digital Communities white paper highlights discussions with IT officials in four counties that have adopted shared services models. Our aim was to learn about the obstacles these governments have faced when it comes to shared services and what it takes to overcome those roadblocks. We also spoke with several members of the IT industry who have thought long and hard about these issues. The paper offers some best practices for shared government-to-government services, but also points out challenges that government and industry still must overcome before this model gains widespread adoption.

Great! All the dog thieves have a prepared shopping list with all the information needed to get just the dog I want. And the burglars know where the dogs aren't in case I need some more stuff.
Even better, match this up with the who's got a gun map and the only thing you have to worry about now are kitchen knives and baseball bats.
