New Year's questions (thank you Huffpost)

The first of the year is that rare, earnest moment when we are all thinking this way together, resolving to be benevolent, compassionate, motivated, adventuresome. For the New Year, The Wall Street Journal asked some influential people three questions: What professional project do you plan to complete in 2009? What personal resolution do you finally hope to keep next year? And what problem should your industry or professional community tackle more effectively?
