re-assess our strategy. we're able to gelt our hand crews in today. also a lot of air resources committed. >> people are being evacuated. to what extent? >> three towns under evacuation. the town of crown king, evacuated all week. just late yesterday afternoon the sheriff's department issued and i evacuation order for pine flats and turkey creek. those are some small communities that have second homes, vacation home, and there's a few full-time residents there as cr place and those folks are out of there. a couple folks have decided to weather it out, though. >> looking at the images and terrain, it looks like your aerial assaults are really going to be key here in trying to control this fire? >> yeah. they sure are. i mean, today it's been a big air show, as early as 8:00, when conditions have been favorable

to get up in the air, and weeb got helicopters committed to this. we have four tankers committed to it, an all day long, the radio has just been firing away with folks calling in, retardant drops and bucket drops from the helicopters. we also have been able to fly in hot shot crews and hand crew,ly.ed to areas we haven't been able to get them into because of the uncertainty of the wind and the spread of the fire. so we've got some crews that will be spiked out for a couple days now starting today, and most crews will be able to go direct with the fire, and that's a change from what we've been doing a very indirect defense strategy. >> troy, thank you for the information. all the best as you continue to fight that wildfire. so we heard from troy. wind is certainly a big problem creating real challenges out there. let's check in with bonnie schneider. what kind of forecast can they expect? how my that help or perhaps hamper efforts? >> fredricka, wind is one factor

and hot temperatures unfortunately are another. this is the way it shapes up now in arizona. not far from the phoenix, arizona, the temperature is 94. we are seeing a warm-up and will see a gradual warm-up towards monday but notice temperatures get a little milder as we go towards the beginning of next week. the winds, how much, also are looking at an improvement. this is the way it's shaping up now. fairly calm winds in the vicinity of the fire. notice another fire we're monitoring in colorado where the winds are stronger in advance of the front. overall, the winds are better today than they've been the past couple of days. another big area of weather we're watching here is activity in the tropics. i know hurricane season for this part of the world doesn't begin until june 1st. an area of disturbed weather we're watching just off the coast of south carolina producing heavy thunderstorms. mostly offshore at this time, but if this system does get more organized and the national h hurricane centers anticipates it will by tomorrow, looking at the first tropical storm of the season before the season starts.

that's health in numbers. unitedhealthcare. in today's fortune brainstorm, if you're a business owner and accustomed to using classified or ads to market your business, there are two newer technologies that could boost your business profile. quick response, or qr codes. it's a bar code that your potential customers use to unlock special promotions and deals and then four square, an app that directs potential clients to your business and unlocks discounts nearby as

well. so a business strategist is with us, co-founder of xl alliance a cultural marketing firm. good to see you. >> good to see you. >> what makes these qr codes and four square so promising? >> you know, it's very cryptic sometimes with technology, because it seems like every week there's a new one to learn from. but you know, don't worry. this, two tools that can help people connect the physical world with the digital world and that's the easiest way to kind of decipher what they mean and that's exactly what the qr codes do as well as four square. >> do a lot of businesses, business owners, feel like you have to engage in this now to really be competitive and that potential clients are really relying on these tools in order to find out where you are? >> you know, it's becoming a little bit of peer pressure. when up see the qr codes popping up everywhere, walk by a window, there it is. open a magazine, there it is. sometimes printed even in cups for, you know, promotions that

link into a website, a facebook, a video, some piece of information. so don't feel like you're falling behind if you're not implementing it yet, but certainly the adoption and trags of qr codes and smartphone has people paying attention and playing with the technology a little more than they ever, ever did before. it is important to learn and put them to good work. >> can you personalize the qr codes. what are the applications available to kind of scan and personalize them and do that? >> you know, it's easier than you think. there's actually three i'm going to share with you all today. scanlife.com, one you can download the application to rate the codes. that's the most basic app that you've got to have. the next one is called scan scanme.com. if want to create personalized codes or mobile sites to have people redirect to and teach

them more of who you are, what you're offering and bitly.com gives a more sophisticated experience with metrics and things like that. you can do it yourself do it at home and try it for your kid's birthday card, next time you print it. >> these newer technologies, are they going to phase out the magazine ads or make billboards obsolete? >> you know, i don't think so. it's just a different screen or a different place for engagement. at the end of the day marketing and communications is all about connecting with your customer, and if you have millions of people that are adopting smartphones and that are checking in on four square or scanning codes, then leverage it as a new place where you can get that engagement and that two-way communication. what's different here? a billboard in a magazine is a flat experience, in this case, with these kinds of technologies, you as a brand as a business as a person, get the two-way communication, which is engagement and what most people want to grow their business.

you may have heard of the term cloud computing, but do you know what it is? and what is this trend all about? our tech expert marc saltzman is here via skype from toronto to break it down for us. marc, good to see you. what exactly is cloud computing? >> cloud is another word for the internet. and in this respect, cloud computing, for consumers,

because there's a business side of it as well, but for you and me, it basically means uploading and accessing your files on the internet and perhaps sharing them or collaborating on them with others. and there is a number of advantages to cloud computing compared to storing your files locally. i mean, i would recommend a little bit of both, but some of the advantages to cloud computing, fred, are, number one, the ability to protect your files from local threats. things like fire and flood, theft. there's power surges, viruses. things that can happen to your files in your home or office. so by uploading them to a password protected cloud service, you are protecting them from local damage. >> good. >> another advantage is the ability to access those files from anywhere in the world on virtually any device. you can be on a smartphone in the u.s. on a tablet in europe, or on a computer in asia, and access all your files remotely and securely. >> wow. >> and third, yeah.

and third cool thing is sharing your files. i can, instead of e-mailing you a bunch of photos and videos from my recent vacation, fred, i can just e-mail you a link to download all of those files or watch them online from a secured cloud service that i use. >> that's incredible. lots of upsides, but there always has to be at least one down side? >> yeah. real quick. you need an internet connection. no internet, no cloud service. number two, there's still data breaches and people trying to guess your passwords. there are still risks in trusting someone with your files on the internet. so someone could try to get your password. there's data breach, there are still risks, you know, and those are some of the down sides, and also, they don't typically store as many files as an external hard drive. not for the digital pack rats with a lot of kenchconsent. >> a number of, apple, google, drop box and now lg as well.

how do you measure the pros and cons of each one? >> yeah. well, very quickly, many of these services are comparable. google, cloud and lg are fairly new. microsoc soch microsoft had sky drive for a while. basically onastic, 5 gigabytes of free storage. that's a lot. some are a little more. microsoft gives 7 gigabytes. some smaller, drop box only 2 gigabytes for free. it if you want to pay for more it can be a couple dollar as month, or goes 20ds or $30 a year for 20 or 30 gigabytes if you're more of a power user. if you're a power user, you're going to -- it's going to cost you a little more and you should have an external hard drive as well. >> all cool stuff. thanks so much. marc saltsman, good to see you in toronto. for more high-tech ideas go to
