Roughly 16 billion Facebook Credits were distributed and consumed in 2011. In 2012, I predict that the use of Facebook Credits will soar by three times to over 40 billion Credits spent on virtual goods, digital goods and more. The growth will be fueled by new digital content available on Facebook, use of Facebook Credits to reward brand loyalty and better marketing of a social currency that is still in its infancy. The following chart shows the growth of Facebook Credits revenue reported by Facebook from 2009 to 2011.

Mel Gibson is involved in another dustup over alleged anti-semitic remarks, and a Jewish mom contemplates how she'll talk to her son about hatred.
?You Jewish son of a *****,? a boy taunted my brother on the school bus one day as I sat nearby.
Skip to next paragraph Linda K. WertheimerGuest blogger
Linda K. Wertheimer, The Boston Globe?s former education editor, writes about religion, education, and family for various publications and blogs at Jewish Muse, A Writer's Blog on Faith and Family. She is a late bloomer:? In her early 40s, she celebrated her adult bat mitzvah, married, and had a son ? in that order.
I was 14, my brother, Kevin, 16. The comment made us seethe, but we let it pass. Then a few weeks later, my family, the only Jewish one in our neighborhood and rural Ohio school, woke up to find swastikas etched in wax on our home windows and cars.
This time, my family did not let it pass. My parents contacted a deputy sheriff, who was friends with my brother through?Boy Scouts. The deputy sheriff went to the doors of the boys we thought were responsible. None admitted to the anti-Semitic act. My family could have told our school, but did not. This was in the late 1970s before it was popular for schools and parents to directly confront anti-Semitism, racism, and other acts of intolerance.
Now a parent, I read about Mel Gibson?s latest insensitive comment about Jews and wonder how to help my son cope with anti-Semitism and prejudice better than I did during my childhood. Mr. Gibson, according to several news reports, quipped, ?Funny, you don?t look Jewish,? in response to a script co-writer?s comment that he was Jewish. Gibson also is in hot water with another Jewish screenwriter for an angry rant that allegedly included anti-Semitic remarks.
I?m heartened that the media is not simply letting Gibson getting away with making offhand comments about Jews.
My 4-year-old son, frankly, would not understand any of this. But at some point in life, he will hear a comment that maligns Jews and wonder why people hate him so. The slur may come from a famous person or worse, from someone he knows.
I do not criticize my parents for not reporting the swastika incident to my school. Our school, at least from the 1970s into the early 1980s, showed little interest in teaching students the importance of respecting all religions. Instead, the school forced religion upon us, through pastors who preached at Easter and Christmas assemblies and through Bible study classes once a week in elementary school.
After our house was covered with swastikas, I was angry and ashamed, ashamed somewhat that I was Jewish, ashamed that I did not know how to fight back against such ignorance. For I think the boy who taunted my brother and the boys who likely put swastikas on our house were more ignorant than anti-Semitic. Gibson, an actor I admittedly adored during his Lethal Weapon days, may be a combination of both.
I look at my son and want to protect him from hearing anything derogatory about his religion, but know I cannot. How should he respond to a direct insult about his faith? Do not shout back, I will urge him as he grows older. But do not take it in silence, either. He should tell the person that it is wrong to malign someone else?s faith that way. If the person brushes him off, he should tell an adult. He should always tell me and his father.
If I sense, as a parent, that some of his peers are not tolerant of other faiths or races, I plan to act to educate rather than focus only on my son. So many resources exist now that did not during my childhood. We can teach our children by showing the 2004 documentary, Paper Clips. Eighth-graders at a rural school in Tennessee collected paper clips for each of the 6 million people killed in the Holocaust. They also created a museum about the Holocaust.
Last night was Yom Hashoah, the international Holocaust Memorial Day. I sang as part of a chorus in a concert at Temple Emunah in Lexington, a Boston suburb. Guest speakers came from Facing History and Ourselves, a course used in schools internationally to teach children how to fight prejudice with compassion. The students learn about the Holocaust and other examples of genocide. They watch videos like one the temple congregation was shown last night ? "The Power of Good" ? about Nicholas Winton, who saved hundreds of Jewish children from the Nazis.
It may be too late for Gibson to reverse many Jews? opinion of him. It?s never too late to teach our children well.
Last night, a soloist sang author and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel?s words:
?The opposite of love is not hate, it?s indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it?s indifference.? The words haunted and comforted me. How much I want to teach my child not to be indifferent. How much I want to make sure that I never stay silent when I must speak.

??????? Do you have goals you wish to achieve (e.g. confidence, career success, and wealth creation)?
Probably you will be dealing with both.? That?s the story for most of us.? If you have Problems to Solve, these will inevitably affect Goals to Achieve.

See how we move from the umbrella goal to sub goals belonging to Problems to be Solved or Categories of Achievement. These stepping stone goals, which are part of everyone?s process, are interrelated.
Have a problem with Anxiety?? Then, you have a problem with Self-Esteem or Creating Wealth or Achieving Success.

To help create a political climate in which Americans can talk sensibly about taxes, let's start with kids: It?s time to make The Tax Talk with our kids just as much a part of our culture as The Sex Talk or The Drugs Talk.
As we left our local zoo three years ago, my son, then 8, asked what wealthy family had built all the exhibits, stocked them with elephants and monkeys and giraffes, then invited the public to come and enjoy them.
Skip to next paragraphThe family behind the zoo, I was happy to tell my boy, was actually our own. Acting alone, our household couldn?t have hoped to create such a wonder. But by chipping in a little money each year, and combining it with the money that thousands of other fellow residents contributed, we made the zoo possible.
As I mentioned to my son, the money that made our zoo was a special kind of payment called a tax. He was impressed that a community could be so clever, collecting a few dollars from so many purses and wallets to create something so wonderful.
?That?s a good tax,? he shouted, licking his ice cream cone in satisfaction.
I?m thinking about my son today as taxpayers across the country race to meet this year?s filing deadline for their federal income taxes. When?s the last time, after all, that you?ve heard anyone mention a good tax?
I can be as grumpy as the next guy when it?s time to file my federal and state income tax returns ? or when my local property tax bill arrives, somewhat cruelly, around Christmas each year.
But as I?ve often told both of my children, quoting from Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, taxes are the price we pay for civilized society. Ever since his epiphany at the gates of the zoo, I?ve tried to teach my son, now 11, and his 16-year-old sister about many other things our taxes pay for. The library where we get books for free isn?t really free at all; taxes keep the doors open. The streets we drive to school and the shopping mall didn?t sprout like toadstools in some fairy-tale past. Taxes built them, and taxes keep them repaired.
Taxes, I?ve told my kids, pay our soldiers and teachers and police officers, fund our local universities, and send our astronauts into space. Taxes help keep our food safe and our water clean. Taxes pay for the parks where we play, and the scientists who explore the heavens and the sea.
When a local tax election looms, we discuss it at the dinner table, parsing out what our family might stand to gain if it?s approved, and how much it will cost us. Sometimes, our children accompany us into the voting booth as we cast our ballots. I?ve shown our kids my tax bill, so that they?ll know there?s really no free lunch. When they spend their allowances on bubblegum, video games, or designer clothes, I remind my youngsters that they?ve become taxpayers, too, through the sales tax charges on their receipts.
What I?m attempting to do, I suppose, is help my son and daughter see taxes not as a textbook abstraction on a civics test, but as a practical reality of their daily lives ? and something worthy of serious thought, not silly sloganeering.
My children have grown up in a political climate in which millions of people seem to reflexively regard taxes as a social evil. Taxes have never been popular, nor will they ever be. But the rhetorical absolutism of the current campaign season has given too many of us, I?m afraid, the illusion that government either has no price tag ? or that its price can be paid by someone else.
I am, by habit and virtue of residence in a red state, fairly conservative. As a journalist the whole of my adult life, I?ve also been vigilant in sounding the alarm about government waste and inefficiency. But I also embrace the conservative principle that citizens should pay their bills, including the cost of what their government provides.
To help create a political climate in which Americans can talk sensibly about taxes, we have to start by talking sensibly about taxes with our children. Many of us have already acknowledged the wisdom of having The Sex Talk or The Drugs Talk or The Bullying Talk with our sons and daughters when the right time comes. Maybe it?s also time to make The Tax Talk with our kids a part of the popular culture.
Today, as millions of Americans file their taxes, seems as good a time as any.
