For something that's named Really Simple Syndication, few tools are more misunderstood or misused than RSS. Provided by such companies as Bloglinesand NewsGator, RSS lets you send and receive information without using e-mail. Instead, the information is sent directly to a subscriber, who receives it through an RSS reader. With browsers like Internet Explorer integrating such readers, we'll be seeing more information feeds. That could be a good thing--or not--depending on whether businesses use them properly.
"You don't need to blog to offer an RSS feed," says online marketing consultant Debbie Weil, author of The Corporate Blogging Book. "But you should have a blogging mind-set. Show the reader what's in it for them. Write clear and interesting headlines. There's a bit of an art to writing RSS [content]." She adds that you should break up your feeds by audience--customers, investors, media and the like--just as you would any other message distribution.
Jim Edwards, 38, uses a blog and RSS to promote his business, Guaranteed Response Marketing. "Whenever I publish an article, either through my blog [www.igottatellyou.com/blog] or through another site's RSS feeder, I expect to get 100 to 300 references back to me in a week," says Edwards, whose $2 million Lightfoot, Virginia, business provides electronic tutorials and publications. "It's a quick way to get links back to you, as well as to get on sites that people are actively looking at."
Use Social Networks:
Customers are making friends online through social networking sites like MySpace.com. The massive site--boasting millions of users, all segmented by age, geography and interests--offers an unbridled opportunity for marketers, according to Libby Pigg, senior account manager at Edelman Interactive in New York City.
"You [can] launch a profile for your business and give it a personality," says Pigg, who has launched MySpace marketing campaigns for major consumer products companies. "It's similar to a dating site, where you tell people a bit about yourself. Then, you use the search function to find the group you want to target--maybe single people in New York [City] between 24 and 30--and contact them to become your 'friends.'"
A MySpace profile helped Taylor Bond generate interest in Egismoz.com, the electronics division of his $20 million retail company, Children's Orchard, in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Earlier this year, Bond sent invitations to some of the site's young, tech-savvy users. The key to maintaining their interest, he says, is to provide fresh content and special offers.
"We're seeing more people come into the store saying that they saw us on MySpace," says Bond, 44. "We're definitely seeing more traffic and feed-back on the profile, and we're getting some incredible feedback about what's hot and what people want, so it's good for market research, too." Opportunities also exist on other networking sites like Friendster.com, LinkedIn.com, and even niche sites like Adholes.com, which focuses on the advertising community.
Advertise in Unusual Places:
From valet tickets and hubcaps to T-shirts emblazoned with video displays, advertising is popping up in new places. A March survey of marketing executives by Blackfriars Communications entitled "Marketing 2006: 2006's Timid Start" found that business spending on traditional advertising continued its decline, and spending on nontraditional marketing methods--from online promotions to buzz marketing--rose 12 percent since late 2005.
Scott Montgomery, principal and creative director of Bradley and Montgomery, an advertising and branding firm in Indianapolis, says the shift in ad spending will continue as advertisers look to make their ad dollars more effective.
Montgomery and his team were the first to develop advertising programs on electrical outlets in airports. Reasoning that business travelers--one of the holy grail audiences marketers love--power up portable technology while waiting for their planes, it seemed a natural place to reach them.
"Smart marketers are looking [for] places where people are engaged," says Montgomery. "You have to target your message in a way that makes sense for [how] people behave."

Making a Difference
Former Judge Donald Horowitz and Seattle University School of Law Professor from Practice John McKay will hold the third in their series of symposia designed to encourage students and lawyers to pursue public interest work at 5 p.m. on Thursday, February 28, in Room C1 of Sullivan Hall.
"Skills, Opportunities, Barriers: Attaining, Maintaining and Increasing Capability, Effectiveness, Freedom and Fulfillment," is open to the public, and no RSVP is required.
Horowitz and McKay continue their popular series by focusing on the development of excellent professional skills and exploring both the opportunities and the barriers to serving the public interest as a lawyer. Working for the powerless and the poor requires that attorneys continuously learn and improve their skills – not only for personal success, but also in order to make a difference in the lives of clients and in the community. Horowitz and McKay, along with guest speakers, will show how choosing public service can shape both the professional and personal lives of lawyers.
The session is the third in the four-part series "Making A Difference: Using Your Law Degree to Make the World a Better Place No Matter Where You Go in Your Career – and Life."
The event is co-sponsored by the School of Law's Center for Professional Development and Access to Justice Institute. For more information or questions, please contact Katie Tiehen at the Access to Justice Institute at (206) 398.4173 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

(WGN-AM)- With jury selection set to begin Thursday in the trial of the second of two men charged in the Brown's Chicken massacre, Palatine residents once again will confront the horrific event that focused world attention on their community.
Just steps from the former site of the restaurant where seven people were slain in 1993, shoppers recently said they were surprised to learn that perhaps the final chapter in the 16-year saga is about to unfold.
Some acknowledged they don't spend as much time dwelling on an incident that for many remains a touchstone event in their lives. Others admitted they weren't aware the trial of James Degorski was about to open. The other suspect, Juan Luna, was convicted in 2007 and sentenced to life in prison.
Walking into the Eurofresh Market grocery store near Northwest Highway and Smith Street, Sue Hurt remembered that for years after the killings she avoided the intersection.
"You couldn't really drive by without remembering what had happened there, and I didn't need to relive those memories," said Hurt, 59, of Palatine.
The restaurant is gone, torn down in 2001 after a dry cleaners failed and the building sat empty.
Now the same company that owns the Eurofresh Market owns the land and hopes to develop a new business on the site, according to Rosanna Tenuta, head of human resources for Eurofresh.
"I know there are plans to build some sort of small plaza or shopping center there," Tenuta said. "It's still in talks now. There's nothing official."
Gone, too, is the blow-by-blow media coverage that accompanied the crimes and later focused on a protracted investigation and the 2002 arrests of Degorski and Luna.
The two were charged after a former girlfriend of Degorski's told police the two had confided to her their roles within days of the robbery and shootings.
During Luna's high-profile trial -- he was convicted of seven counts of first-degree murder -- prosecutors relied in part on DNA evidence recovered from a piece of chicken found in a garbage can at the crime scene.
Criminal Court Judge Vincent Gaughan agreed to separate the trials because Luna gave a confession pinning much of the blame on Degorski, whose trial could last for weeks.
The passage of time has seen people like Kendra Rose move into the neighborhood. Rose knew about the incident, but didn't have as visceral a connection as those who woke the morning of Jan. 9, 1993, to learn of the grisly scene.
"I was aware of it, of course," said Rose, 30, who moved to Palatine three years ago from Ohio. "But it was a long time ago, and things like this happen everywhere. It was much more of an important event in the life of my husband -- who lived here at the time -- and his friends."
Relatives of the victims have found it difficult to move on.
Thomas Mennes' body was among those police found in the restaurant's freezer and walk-in cooler.
Now his brother, Robert Mennes, is steeling himself to see Degorski in court, and again hear details of the brutal crimes.
"Day to day it's there, but you don't think about it. You try to put it out of your head, to get by," he said. "But now, with the trial starting, there's a feeling of, 'OK, here we go again.' It's like starting all over again."
"I wish they could have done [trials for Degorski and Luna] at the same time," Mennes said.

1. Look for a one-time opportunity to try out the concept of volunteering, such as at a food pantry.
2. Volunteer side by side with your child. It can be a good bonding experience and it models the spirit of volunteerism.
3. Watch for chances to pair your child's interests with a service activity.
4. Try, try again. If the first experience doesn't work out, look for another place for your child to serve.
5. Take a long-term view. If you value service to others, continue helping your child get involved in volunteering. As Dr. Bobbie McDonald, a doctor of psychology and mother of a youth volunteer, points out, "Anything you involve kids in on a regular basis, they're likely to continue into adulthood."
Lara Krupicka is a journalist, speaker and mother to three girls, ages 14, 12 and 10. She is best known for her "Bucket List Life Manifesto" and her e-book "Family Bucket Lists." You can find her at larakrupicka.com.
There is a sense this generation of children is growing up a bit, shall we say, self-centered. It's not unusual to hear, "When can I get the next video game?" or "I want to eat here, not there" or "I'm not going to eat this" when you've just finished cooking a lovely meal for your family.
Parents wonder why their children show a lack of appreciation or a reluctance to help out. Children today might be more me-focused, but according to writer Todd Patkin, it's not all their fault. Patkin, the author of "Finding Happiness: One Man's Quest to Beat Depression and Anxiety and – Finally – Let the Sunshine In," asserts that children aren't being taught by their parents, teachers, mentors and community to be a very thoughtful generation.
"I don't believe that kids are acting selfishly because they don't want to help; it's more that they aren't really sure how to help others and give back, because they aren't being taught," Patkin said.
"It's crucial for adults – especially those of us who are parents – to start early when it comes to raising our kids with a passion for philanthropy."
Parents are the greatest influencers when it comes to developing their kids' habits and behaviors, Patkin said. "If they see you giving back as a part of your regular life, they'll learn that behavior and carry it with them into adulthood."
Ready to help your child take the first steps from selfishness to selflessness? Here are 10 ways to get your children geared up for giving back:
1. Explain philanthropy to your children. Before your kids start selling candy bars to the neighbors with the intent to donate the money to charity, it's important to first help them realize that giving back doesn't just mean donating money. Before making a run to the thrift store with a car filled with old clothes and toys, explain that generosity is not limited to giving away things you no longer want. It's important, especially when kids are young, to start with the very basics of why it's important to give. For example, you might ask them, "If you did not have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear on a cold day, wouldn't you want someone, even if you did not know them, to help you so you got the food and warmth you needed?"
"Kids will usually do what you say they should while they're under your roof, but they won't continue to pursue philanthropy throughout their lives unless they understand the 'why' behind it," Patkin emphasized. "Explain to your child the charity work you do. Tell her why you do it and who it helps, and keep an open dialogue going in your household to help her understand what's going on. The more you talk, the better grasp she'll have on the concept."
2. It's never too early to start. Empathy is a concept children can learn from an early age, so look for and take advantage of teachable moments. You can start with something as basic as encouraging small children to share with one another. Ask them to consider how they'd feel if they didn't have a toy and how their feelings would change if a friend gave them one, for example.
3. Start with simple tasks. "You can find ways for children to volunteer their time at any age, all year round," Patkin said. "Smaller children can help to sort recycling or contribute to decorating posters for a bake sale or other event. Once your kids get a little older, they can donate a portion of their holiday or birthday money to a charity, or they can choose a toy to donate to needy children. You can also involve your children in philanthropy through family-wide activities like sponsoring an underprivileged child during the holidays and helping to buy his back-to-school supplies, or going as a group to visit nursing home residents."
4. Make it a part of everyday life. As most parents know, you'll probably never have as much time or money as you'd like, so waiting for "just a little more" of either is futile. When it comes to giving back, there is no better time to start than now, using what you already have. You don't need to possess unlimited time or money to get involved. You can find smaller, simpler ways to make helping others apart of your everyday routine.
"When many people think of philanthropy, they picture big-money donations and orphanages founded in Third World countries – and those things certainly qualify," Patkin said. "However, the everyday efforts of ordinary people can also have an incredible impact. Just remember that since parents need to model good behaviors, you'll need to 'walk the walk' in front of your kids. If you're grocery shopping with your children, for example, buy an extra bag of pet food and drop it off at the humane society on the way home. Then encourage your kids to be giving during their own everyday tasks, whether that means sharing art supplies or helping clean up."
5. Let your kids decide on the cause. The more you let your children become involved in the philanthropy process, the more they'll be invested in what you're doing. Bring your kids in from the beginning by allowing them to help choose which organizations the family will help. They'll feel more connected to the cause, and the youngest members can be involved, even if it just means tagging along.
"It's a good idea to sit down with your kids and ask them to identify a problem that they want to fix," Patkin said. "If they're very young, you might give them a few options to choose from, such as feeding people who are hungry or getting winter coats for people who don't have them. Then you can all work on finding a corresponding organization."
6. Reinforce the value of a random act of kindness. Giving back is not always about a charity organization, a monetary donation or volunteering. Kids need to understand that having a heart for others is a way of life, not a series of appointments on your calendar. Show them that helping someone else and not expecting anything in return can happen anytime, anywhere. It's often the small everyday acts that give us the biggest returns in terms of fulfillment and happiness, and they are things that are easy for kids to recognize and act on.

Posted under American history & O Canada
Remarkable providences! An eighteenth-century Jesuit is blogging now at Charlevoix ("a blog about New France"). Those of you in the know will recognize the blogger as the late Pierre F.-X. Charlevoix (1682-1761), who is considered one of the first historians of New France. (I say one of the first historians of New France, because I consider the unsung annalists of women's religious orders to be historians of New France as well–and most of them in the eighteenth century were Canadian-born historians, not imports like Charlevoix.)
Here's a little flava, a brief comparison of New England and New France in his Journal of a Voyage to North-America (London, 1761; Readex Microprint, 1966, in two volumes), an English translation of his 1744 French travel narrative: Continue Reading »

Accellis Managed Backup is specifically a disaster recovery solution. It works in concert with your on-premise backup scheme to add redundancy and continuity. All of your data is saved in the normal backup scheme and is then also redundantly stored in the cloud.
Unlike most providers, who cost more and only save your files, our Managed Backup program saves your files as well as databases, mail servers, and system state. This is an important distinction. If you only save your files, and then experience complete data loss, you will have to manually re-engineer your server's system state and profiles. Also, each PC will have to be manually be reconfigured and connected to the server. All of this re-engineering, and potentially thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, could be prevented if the system state and databases with files were included in your backup solution.
Accellis Managed Backup is a data backup and disaster recovery program designed to offer 24/7 peace of mind that all firm data, including files, databases and server system state, are backed up and secure.
- Files are backed up automatically and continually in the background
- Saves your files as well as databases, mail servers, and system state
- Files are encrypted at all times and stored on redundant disk arrays
- If something happens, files are easy to recover or to roll back to previous versions

I got wind of a blow, and held on to my hat!
I guess Sandy lived up to her hype and delivered: water, wind, seas and some jangled nerves on Block Island and other parts of the northeast. After leaving the Point Judith ferry dock after this pic was taken, I hustled over to Newport to check the lines and chafing gear of my sailboat. Interstate Navigation's crews were way ahead of the curve regarding preparations; past experience has served the ferry company well.
All boat owners did the best they could do to prepare for the storm, and then watch it play out. In Newport and Point Judith the wind direction was an issue of great speculation. Additionally, the full moon coinciding with the incoming tide at the height of the storm, was of major concern. While securing my sailboat in Newport, the word around th docks was the hope that the docks would hold together with the rising tide; fortunately, the docks held fast. Not one boat in the Newport Marina, aka The Treadway, got so much as a scratch.
It will take some time for things to get squared away on Block Island and other hard hit Rhode Island locales. Bottom line, we dodged not a bullet, but a Scud missle. Had the wind direction come more from the S E, the outcome in Point Judith and Newport would have been a little different. With exception to Block Island, the N E wind direction served us well. Moreover and most importantly, no one was injured.

What's Next
This piece was originally published in the autumn issue of Radar Magazine – Issue 05: Unusual Activists.
Sarah Murray, a regular contributor to the Financial Times and The Economist Group, has been writing about sustainability since the late 1990s when few reporters were covering environmental and social issues in the business press. She talks to Frances Buckingham on how coverage of the issues has changed, the role of media in calling out corporate malpractice and showcasing solutions, and the need for companies to tell the whole story.
Frances Buckingham: How would you sum up your experience of covering sustainability issues for the Financial Times and The Economist Group?
Sarah Murray: Over the past decade of writing for the Financial Times (FT), what started as a niche topic has become much more mainstream. Early on, the paper recognised that social and environmental challenges present risks and opportunities, and that business readers generally want to hear about solutions, not problems. The FT now has regular special reports covering sustainability topics. And while the paper has an environment correspondent, other industry reporters also cover the social and environmental issues that affect the companies that fall within their beat. In that sense, sustainability has moved out of a silo to appear in a range of sections of the newspaper. The number of white papers and research reports I write for the Economist Intelligence Unit has also increased. And while in these reports, I once covered corporate sustainability as a single issue, I've recently been writing on more focused topics such as energy efficient buildings or green cities. …
When Warby Parker launched its prescription eyewear brand four years ago, it broke the industry mold by offering a unique business proposition. Whereas most eyeglass shops depend on storefronts to bring in customers, Warby Parker created a business model based on bringing the glasses to the consumers. Using their "Home Try On" system, the company's customers can order up to five pairs of glasses to try on in front of their bathroom mirrors – for five days at no charge.
Much has been written about Warby Parker's hipster brand identity as well as its social mission: for every pair of glasses sold, the company donates a pair to a person in need. What I find unique about its model, however, is the potential for sustainability by way of reduced resource usage. Just like Netflix and other virtual brands that have come before it, Warby Parker is cutting energy and resource use by streamlining operations.
Once, the consumer marketplace was almost exclusively comprised of single-purpose brick and mortar stores – the butcher, the baker, the greengrocer and even the optometrist. Later, grocery stores – and, eventually, big box stores, retail outlets and shopping malls – put several of these services under one roof. It isn't hard to see why the department store model was so profitable: erecting a store on every corner or in every town provides customers with convenience, builds brand recognition, and can even create a sense of community. …

After 15 years in strategy consultancy with leading firms Bain and Company and The Boston Consulting Group, Janet Voûte moved into public health as CEO of the World Heart Federation. She then spent two years as Partnerships Adviser at the WHO and became Global Head of Public Affairs at Nestlé in December 2010.
SustainAbility has been working with Nestlé since 2006 on Creating Shared Value reporting, stakeholder engagement and strategy, and most recently arranged the company's fourth stakeholder convening in London. Rob Cameron spoke with Janet about the increasing importance of speaking the language of both business and NGOs and Nestlé's stakeholder engagement journey.
Rob Cameron: How would you characterise stakeholder engagement when you arrived at Nestlé?
Janet Voûte: I arrived a few years after the terminology and thinking around Creating Shared Value (CSV) at Nestlé had been launched, and the focus on being the leading nutrition, health and wellness company had been clearly defined. Additionally, the Chairman and the Public Affairs team had also agreed upon nutrition, water and rural development as priority areas for action. …

For over 25 years, companies have valued our ability to serve as their early warning system—to interpret emerging issues and trends in the sustainable development agenda and help them anticipate, understand and respond to shifts in the business landscape. In 2013, SustainAbility re-launched a dedicated function to regularly track and interpret "what's next"—our Ten Trends of 2013 series is the distillation and public output of our thinking over the year.
"The catastrophization of the future freezes people." If there was a common theme at the various sustainability conferences we attended this year it was an acknowledgment that collectively, the sustainability movement has failed at telling a compelling (read: positive) story of what a sustainable future looks like. This quote from Paul Hawken at the VERGE SF conference was followed by similar sentiments from Amory Lovins and Andy Revkin that we've had very little to show when deploying 'sky is falling' rhetoric. As Jo Confino of Guardian Sustainable Business summarized, "The greatest risk to the sustainability movement is that it is struggling, and so far failing, to articulate a vision of a future that is both prosperous while remaining within planetary boundaries." …
Between traditional news channels, blogs, and social media, it can be hard to keep up with what's making waves in the field of sustainable development. In this roundup we aim to cut through the noise with a handful of highlights that have caught our eye.
Challenging Gender Norms Through Product Marketing
In early September Toys 'R' Us pledged to drop gender labeling for its products in UK stores, and in the long term, it has indicated plans to remove explicit references to gender in its store signage. The move followed pressure from Let Toys Be Toys, a consumer group that campaigns for gender neutrality in toys. The campaign highlights the social cost of gendered marketing to children— from influencing personality development to shaping world views. Other UK retailers including Boots have agreed to remove "boy" and "girl" signs from their stores after receiving social media pressure from consumers….
Between traditional news channels, blogs, and social media, it can be hard to keep up with what's making waves in the field of sustainable development. In this roundup we aim to cut through the noise with a handful of highlights that have caught our eye.
Fossil Fuel Divestment Gathers Momentum
Last fall, climate activist Bill McKibben's organisation, 350.org, supported the launch of fossil-free divestment campaigns across cities and college campuses. Modelled on the South Africa anti-apartheid divestment movement of the 1980s, the campaign has reached over 100 US cities and 300 colleges. Similar versions are also taking hold in Australia, the Netherlands and the UK.
I had occasion this week to be in San Diego for Sustainable Brands 2013, where I offered opening remarks on the first full day of the conference, June 04. Conclusions from Changing Tack, the final output of The Regeneration Roadmap, were top of mind as I did so.
Sustainable Brands' theme this year was "From Revolution to Renaissance." I love the implications behind the words. To me, it suggests that we have broken through into a creative, hyper-productive phase of sustainable development progress and the role brands will play. But, as in the title above, I put the theme to the conference audience as a question – not to query where we are going, but to allow us to step back and look at where we are on the journey, and to consider how we can chart a path forward. And, based on Changing Tack's conclusions, I suggested that we need to incite still far more people toward revolution at the same time as we push forward the renaissance….
Companies continue to rank low among global institutions when it comes to sustainability leadership, though a few companies — mostly the usual suspects — continue to rise above the others, according to an annual survey being released this week.
If that sounds like damning with faint praise, it is. According to the 2013 Sustainability Leaders survey, produced jointly by GlobeScan and SustainAbility, the private sector outperforms only the world's national governments when it comes to effectively addressing sustainability challenges. That is to say, their second to last….
As the Guardian's Jo Confino wrote at the close of the Rio+20 Conference in June 2012, "the most often used phrases in the many meetings I attended [were] the need to create 'coalitions of the willing' and a recognition that 'all issues are inter-connected' and cannot be viewed in silos."
Collaboration is widely acknowledged as vital if we are to address global challenges at the scale and speed we need, but the current rhetoric often fails to acknowledge how hard it is to …
"How might our businesses serve our humanity, and how might our humanity serve our businesses?" (Raphael Bemporad, BBMG speaking at Sustainable Brands, London)
Sustainable Brands finally came to London, in November, a long way from its most recent home in balmy San Diego. The organisers may not have brought us sunshine but the event did bring a strong call for more humanity, heart, purpose, bravery and honesty in brands and business….
I am perplexed by the fuss about integrated reporting. It seems obvious that a company ought to effectively measure and communicate aspects of its business that matter to key stakeholders, and to do it in a cohesive manner.
Why it wasn't done well in the first place is a discussion for another time and place, but here we are in 2012 knowing what's at stake if we don't take into account the impact we have on current and future generations' ability to thrive. Surely we are ready to move …
One of the perks of being a graduate student at the University of Michigan was access to football season tickets. With this, I learned the various rituals undertaken by the student section on game day, including chanting, "who cares?" when opposing team players' names are announced before each game.
This ritual still makes me smile for some reason, and is also a question many of us in the sustainability field ask during ratings and rankings season, which kicked off last week with the release of the Carbon Disclosure Project and the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes. These results, like those in previous years, sparked a flurry of press releases by proud companies, angst in companies who fell short, blogs debating the merits and shortcomings of ratings, and consultancies offering their services to improve company performance….
Over the last decade, there has been an extraordinary growth in the number of ratings and award schemes designed to measure corporate sustainability performance. While these rankings play an important role in improving corporate performance, companies are struggling to keep up, and many question the time and effort required to respond to raters' requests for information.
Is it all worth it? Which ratings, if any, do people pay attention to? How much does a company's score …
Unilever's Sustainable Living Plan. Marks & Spencer's Plan A. GE's ecomagination. Nike Better World.
Feel like you can't turn around without bumping into a big, brassy, branded, corporate sustainability program these days? Or at least a product campaign (think Nissan Leaf) that seeks to cast a green and otherwise sustainable hue over an organization? It seems we have entered the age of the Big (Sustainable) Idea, an epoch in which performance as well as leadership and influence are limited without membership in this club….
As SustainAbility's web and digital media manager, I've been looking at how online tools and technologies can be used to support our work on The Regeneration Roadmap.
The ambitions for the project are high, and engaging the right people in the right way will be key. Online platforms can play a significant role here: today there are fewer barriers than ever in mobilising people from all backgrounds and geographies to shape and get behind a campaign. From video blogging and social discussion forums to idea generation and crowd sourcing websites, the options available are seemingly endless. But where do you start?…
The phrase "In praise of Barclays", used during this, of all weeks, and with Wimbledon coming to a conclusion, surely elicits only one response: "You cannot be serious!!" Well, no, not exactly serious. In fact, most definitely not serious, because the company's performance has been nothing short of woeful at best and disastrous at worst. So, why the headline?
I will remodel it: "In praise of Barclays individuals that I know have worked patiently and diligently for over a decade or more to drive change against all the odds, and in praise of the tens of thousands of frontline Barclays staff who are being vilified daily by the media. They have surely felt …
The World Health Organisation estimates that 30% of prescriptive drugs in circulation in emerging economies are counterfeit. Imagine you live in the developing world, and you depend upon regular medicine to keep you healthy enough to feed your family. There is roughly a one in three chance that each pill you take is at best ineffective, and at worst dangerous. Other than swallow and hope for the best, what can you do? …
"You want us to produce one of those corporate socialist reports?!" This incredulous response, from the CEO of a large US conglomerate, may not be the typical reaction that we get from companies (a raised eyebrow is much more common in London), but it does belie a deep-seated misunderstanding about the role and value of sustainability reporting.
In case you've not been watching, sustainability reporting has become a sizeable industry. CorporateRegister.com, a consultancy that monitors the global output of reports every year, estimates that in 2011 there were approximately 6600 reports (including corporate responsibility, sustainability, environmental and other similar reports) – up from less than 1000 ten years ago and …
Back in September, I discussed in a blog post the fact that open data was one part of a move for technology to help us become more open, collaborative, participatory, and connected. Open data is but one part of a wider suite of technologies currently being adopted for accountability in the value chain. We discussed these in a recent Engaging Stakeholders webinar featuring Leo Bonanni of Sourcemap. These technologies include RFID, apps, mobiles, and a number of different codes – alphanumeric, barcodes and QR codes. Collectively, this group of technologies …
In business, sometimes simplicity is praised and sometimes it is scorned. It can be hard to predict which reaction will win out.
Each year, GlobeScan and SustainAbility survey sustainability experts across corporate, government, NGO, academic, research, and service organizations in 75-plus countries to determine which businesses are perceived to be sustainability leaders, and why. This year's results remind us that simplicity is a more complex phenomenon than it might appear.
The 2012 Sustainability Leaders Survey was released this month. …

What will happen to fire fighting camps such as Washington Ridge Camp north of Nevada City under realignment? State Senator Doug LaMalfa says the shift of state prison inmates to county jails is putting the public at risk. Senator LaMalfa says as many as one third of the inmate firefighting crews throughout the state could be cut under the proposal.
"Approximately one third could go away if realignment does not work out and local counties do not opt to become part of the program. State Park Corrections feels like they can supply about 2/3 or maybe approximately 3,000 or 2,500 of the 4,000 or 4,500 that are a part of this."
One third of the fire fighting hand crews could be eliminated in 2013.The state has proposed that of the inmates returned to the county jails; Sheriff's could sent some inmates back to the fire camps if the county pays 46 dollars a day. The action is being taken to lower the prison population and save the state of California money.

Wallace T. Wallington has figured out how ancient civilizations like the Egyptians moved giant blocks of stone before they discovered the wheel. He says, "It's more technique than it is technology. I think the ancient Egyptians and Britons knew this."
Kim Crawford writes in the Flint Journal that Wallington has several 10 ton blocks in the yard of his rural home that he's learned to move with wooden levers. Last October, the Discovery Channel recorded him raising a 16-foot concrete block that weighed 19,200 pounds and setting it into a hole, in the same way ancient builders probably created Stonehenge. He now has a 10 foot high column in his yard. He says, "I call it the forgotten technology."
Engineers have long wondered how ancient cultures were able to move and stack giant stones in order to build pyramids and other huge monuments. While they have different theories, Wallington has proof, because he's done it himself. He says, "I know how they did it. I'd always thought there was a simple explanation, but it's really beyond simple.
"There's one guy who's published his experiments who says, 'Three men can pull a block weighing a ton.' But I can pull over a ton alone. I've moved 19,200 pounds, and I'm nowhere near the limit."
He first used ancient building techniques 15 years ago, when he was trying to solve a problem on a construction job. He says, "We were moving an existing floor. I had to remove these 1,200-pound blocks of concrete. We couldn't get to all of 'em with our machine. I didn't really want to break them up, so I'd raise 'em with a lever and then tip them up and move them. I got to be pretty good at it."
He began experimenting with blocks of concrete that weighed hundreds of pounds, then graduated to bigger and bigger blocks. He says, "At first, I brought a 1-ton block home from work. But I found I could move it around by myself pretty easily." He built a device he calls the "Wallington lever," which allows him to tilt a block slightly and slip boards underneath it, one at a time, until the block is upright. He's now working on an "Egyptian hoist," which will allow him to pull as much as 185 pounds up a ramp about 26 degrees with very little effort.
The largest block he ever moved was a 10,400-pound concrete column. He also moved an entire building. "Yeah, it was a 30-by-40-foot pole barn," he says. "By myself, I could move it at about 6 feet per hour. With my son, we doubled that speed. We ended up moving it more than 200 feet."
J. H. Brennan says there's evidence that time travel is not only possible, but that it's been done! We wonder if Wallington is one of those who has done it.

��George Townshend Smith, then organist of Lynn, Norfolk, through whose exertions it was pub- lished in 1846 under the editorship of Dr. Rim- bault. North, who was a skilled musical amateur, died at Rougham in 1733. [W.H.H.]
NORWICH FESTIVAL. The establishment of Triennial Festivals at Norwich dates from the year 1824, but previous to this, Musical Festivals were held in 1770, 1802, 1809, 1811, 1813, 1814, and 1817. These generally consisted of two or more miscellaneous concerts held either in St. Andrew's Hall or the theatre, and of oratorios and selections of sacred music performed in the church of St. Peter's Mancroft. On these occa- sions the band was chiefly composed of local musicians, both amateur and professional, led by London principals under different conductors, the most prominent of whom was Dr. Beckwith. In 1824 the scheme of Triennial Festivals, after having been discussed for some years, was finally adopted on the motion of Mr. Philip Martineau, surgeon, of Norwich. A chorus of 150 voices was formed and trained by Mr. Edward Taylor, afterwards Gresham Professor, -assisted by the Cathedral organist, Mr. Z. Buck. The band con- sisted of no performers, and the conductor was Sir George Smart. The Festival was attended by 10,087 people, and was a great financial suc- cess, the sum of 241 1 48. zd. being handed over to the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, after pay- ing all expenses. Since 1824 Festivals have been held at Norwich trienially, but the pecuniary success has never been so great as in that year ; in 1836, 1854, and 1869 the expenses were in excess of the receipts. The conductor from 1824 to 1836 was Sir George Smart; from 1839 to 1842, Professor Taylor; and from 1842 to 1878, Sir Julius Benedict. In 1839 Spohr was present, conducted his 'Calvary,' played his Concertino, ' Sonst und Jetzt,' and with Blagrove a Concer- tante for 2 violins. He would have come again in 1842 for the performance of his 'Fall of Babylon' if he could have obtained leave of ab- sence from Cassel. It is impossible to give a list of all the artists who have sung at these Fes- tivals ; it would include the names of all the greatest vocalists of the century, from Mrs. Bil- lington and Braham (in 1802) to Mme. Albani and Mr. Santley (in 1878). Handel's 'Messiah' has been performed at every Festival except four; and amongst less known works the following may be mentioned : Mozart's ' Davidde Peni- tente* (1848), Bexfield's 'Israel Restored' (1852), Pierson's 'Jerusalem' (1852), and 'Hezekiah' (1869), Molique's 'Abraham' (1860), and Han- del's ' Passion Music ' ( 1 866). [W. B. S.]
NOTA CAMBITA (Ital. Nota CamMata, Germ. Wechsdnoie, Eng. Changing Note.) I. A Note of Irregular Transition : in other words, a Passing-Note, on the strong part of the measure ; as opposed to the Note of Regular Transition, or true Passing-Note, which, though equally foreign to the harmony, produces a less discordant effect, because it invariably occurs upon the weak part of the measure.
��In the following example from Cherubini, the D is a Changing, and the second G a Passiug-Note.

��The use of Changing-Notes is only permitted, in strict Counterpoint, as a means of escape from some grave difficulty ; and, of course, only in the Second, Third and Fifth Orders. [See COUNTER- POINT; PART- WHITING.]
II. Fux applies the term, Nota cambita, 1 to a peculiar Licence, by virtue of which the Poly- phonic Composers, instead of resolving a Passing Discord, at once, suffered it to descend a Third, and then to rise a Second to its Resolution. Cherubini condemns this Licence, as one which should 'neither be admitted, nor tolerated, in strict Counterpoint.' Fux accounts for it by the omission of an imaginary Quaver. The norm of the passage is, he says, as at (a), in the following example. By leaving out the first Quaver, it is made to appear as at (6) ; by leaving out the second, as at (c).
(a) (6) (c)
��Cherubim recommends the form shown at (b). The common consent of the great Polyphonic Com- posers justifies the preference of (c) ; and their best defence lies in the exquisitely beautiful effects they produce by means of it. Without multiplying ex- amples, we may mention innumerable instances in the 'Missa Papse Marcelli,' and in Orlando Gibbons's Full Anthem 'Hosanna to the Son of David.' [See HABMONY, p. 678.] The last-named Composition one of the finest in existence, in the English Polyphonic School derives a great part of its wonderful beauty from the judicious use of this unjustly condemned Licence. [W. S. R.]'
NOTATION (Lat. Notatio; Fr.Semiographie; Germ. Notirang, Notenschrift, Tonschrift). The Art of expressing musical ideas in writing.
Apart from its intrinsic value, the history of Notation derives much collateral importance from the light it throws upon that of Music, generally. From its earliest infancy, the Art has known no period of absolute stagnation. Incessant pro- gress has long been recognised as a fundamental law of its existence ; and a more or less extensive change in its written language has been naturally demanded, at each successive stage of its develop- ment. This conceded, we can scarcely wonder that the study of such changes should materially aid our attempts to trace the story of its inner life.
Three different systems of Notation have been accepted as sufficient for all practical purposes, at different periods. In very early times, when Melody was simple, and Harmony unknown, musical sounds were represented by the Letters
i ' Nota cambita, ab Italis cambiata nuncupata.' (Grail us ad rarnu- lum, ed. 1725, p. 63.)

Confidence, Privacy and Damages: Hello! to Clarity (New Law Journal, 21 November 2003)
Hugh Tomlinson QC and Mark Thomson
And goodbye to uncertainty?
The first round of post Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA 1998) privacy cases began with Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta Jones and OK! magazine in the Court of Appeal seeking an injunction to restrain the publication of surreptitiously taken wedding photographs in Hello! magazine (Douglas v Hello! Ltd [2001] QB 967). Last week, following a full trial on liability ([2003] 3 All ER 996) and another on quantum, judgment was given for the claimants in the sum of £1,047,756 ([2003] EWHC 2629 (Ch)).
This protracted litigation has provided important clarification on the extent to which breach of confidence can be used to protect privacy. Taken with the recent decision of the House of Lords in Wainwright v The Home Office ([2003] 3 WLR 1137), it provides a convenient point for assessing just how far the protection of privacy has developed in the past three years.
The Douglas case
The facts of Douglas v Hello! are now well-known. Film stars Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones married at the Plaza Hotel in New York on 18 November 2000. Extensive security arrangements had been made, intended to ensure that access to the ceremony and reception would be denied to all but the family members and friends who had been invited and the attendant staff, who had been hired on terms they would keep the wedding confidential. The bride and groom hired their own photographers and it was made plain that no other photography was to be permitted. In making such arrangements the bride and groom were doing as they were bound under contract - they had sold exclusive photographic rights of the event to OK!, although they had retained control over the selection of such pictures.
Unknown to the bride and groom, one photographer, had managed to evade security and had surreptitiously taken photographs which were then sold to OK!'s rival, Hello!, for publication in what has been described as "classic spoiler".
The Douglas's and OK! quickly applied for, and obtained, an injunction to restrain publication by Hello!. The injunction was lifted by the Court of Appeal on the basis that damages were an adequate remedy. Hello! published the unauthorised photographs on the same day as OK! (which had to bring its arrangements forward), published parts of the full authorised portfolio of photographs covering the event, approved by the Douglases, for which it had paid.
Ruling on liability
The liability trial took place over several weeks in 2003 before Lindsay J. In a comprehensive judgment ([2003] 3 All ER 996) he held that, because of the exceptional nature of a wedding and the elaborate and expensive security measures adopted by the Douglases, the event was private in nature and that the images of the couple were confidential. The exclusivity deal with OK! was a legitimate and reasonable way to control and limit the press exposure, and resulted in the information becoming a valuable "commercial trade secret".
Lindsay J found that subterfuge and surreptitious means had been used in obtaining the photographs. He also found that that the claimants had suffered detriment and damage, including the genuine distress in the realisation that someone had invaded and taken pictures of their wedding ceremony. There were a number of important points made in this ruling:
Even if the Douglases were public figures who had previously welcomed publicity, the confidentiality of their wedding was still protected. This can be contrasted with previous statements to the contrary in cases involving interim injunctions;
The sale by the Douglases of exclusive rights in information to OK! did not affect or reduce the level of protection;
The fact that private and confidential photographs were about to be published by OK! did not reduce protection under the law of confidence (but this plainly was a factor in considering whether to grant an injunction).
Having found for the claimants on liability, the judge ordered a quantum hearing
Ruling on Quantum
There were a number of aspects to the claims at the quantum hearing:
a claim for damages by the Douglases under the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA 1998);
a claim by the Douglases for the costs of rearranging the provisions for preparing and sending the wedding photographs to OK!;
a claim by OK! for loss of revenue from the originally planned wedding double issues;
a claim by all claimants for a notional licence fee, representing a reasonable payment for permission to publish the unauthorized photographs.
It was accepted that the notional licence fee approach and the other claims were mutually exclusive and that the claimants had the option of choosing whichever approach produced the highest sum (para 13). The judge did not consider the licence fee approach in detail as because such a fee would be only £125,000, substantially less than the damages award (see para 64).
After detailed analysis of the evidence in relation to damages, Lindsay J awarded compensation of £1,033,156 to OK! for loss of profit and wasted costs (para 58). He found that the appropriate sum to award to the Douglases for distress was £3,750 each, and awarded them £7,000 each in wasted costs. He also awarded the Douglases £50 each in compensation under the Data Protection Act 1998.
In relation to damages for distress, the Judge said it was right "to separate distress occasioned by knowledge that there had been an intruder at the wedding and distress occasioned by the publication of the unauthorised photographs. Only the latter is to be laid at Hello!'s door" (para 55).
The award for distress does seem on the low side. An important factor in keeping the award at the bottom end of the scale appears to have been the fact that the Douglases had, to a substantial extent, already sold their privacy rights to OK! for £1 million. If there had been no such exclusive sale arrangement, it appears that damages may have been very substantial and, on the basis of the "hypothetical licence" approach, may have been in excess of £125,000.
In relation to OK!, the Judge looked at the sales that might have been achieved if it had been able to publish two "exclusive" wedding photograph issues and arrived at a net figure of £1,026,706. In doing so, he accepted expert evidence from former Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie that Hello!'s "spoiler" would have had a devastating effect on the sales of the OK! special issues (para 50). The Judge considered the potentially chilling effect on freedom of expression of such an award. He said:
"Further, looking at this substantial award in a general way, as encouraged by some of the authorities, I would not regard it, given the resources of Hello!, as of a size that is likely materially to stifle free expression and yet, without its going beyond the compensatory and into the penal, it is, I would expect, such as may make Hello! alive to the unwisdom of its acting as it did"
This judgment echoes the recent Privy Council case of Gleaner v Abrahams [2003] 3 WLR 1038 in relation to libel awards, a salutary warning to the media in "spoiler" cases.
Privacy: where are we now?
The award of damages in Douglas provides a convenient opportunity to stand back and survey the current privacy landscape. The recognition of a post-Human Rights Act 1998 privacy right in English law has been, at best, uneven. A turning point appeared to have been reached in 2003. In January the Strasbourg Court decided Peck v UK (2003) 36 EHRR 41. The case concerned CCTV footage of a man with a knife walking along a public street, and the subsequent council decision to release the CCTV footage to television and local newspapers. In fact Mr Peck, who was depressed, had slashed his wrists in a suicide attempt. Mr Peck tried unsuccessfully to obtain judicial review of the council's decision and also complained to the BSC, the ITC and the PCC (the media regulators).
The PCC dismissed the complaint as inadmissible. Mr Peck claimed that his Article 8 rights had been infringed; his claim was upheld. The court said the exposure he was subjected to far exceeded anything that he could reasonably have anticipated. The court went on to conclude that as Mr Peck had no defective remedy under domestic law, the UK was in breach of its Article 13 obligation to provide effective remedies. This appeared to highlight the glaring lack of domestic "privacy remedies".
In June 2003, the Select Committee on Culture Media and Sport issued its report concerning privacy and media invasion. Having heard extensive evidence from victims and from the media, the committee also made extensive reference to the Douglas litigation and the decision in Peck. The committee concluded:
"On balance we firmly recommend that the government reconsider its position and bring forward legislative proposals to clarify the protection that individuals can expect from unwarranted intrusion by anyone - not the press alone - into their private lives. This is necessary to fully satisfy the obligations upon the UK under the European Convention on Human Rights."
The response of the government was swift and unequivocal. On the same day, it issued a statement saying that it had no intention of bringing in specific legislation to protect privacy. The government's formal response in early October 2003 was that, that following the Human Rights Act 1998, the government is content to let the courts deal with the issue: "The weighing of competing rights in individual cases is the quintessential task of the court, not of government or of parliament. Parliament should only intervene if there are signs that the courts are systemically striking the wrong balance; we believe there are no such signs."
Unfortunately, for media lawyers, the courts have taken the opposite view. On 16 October 2003, the House of Lords gave judgment in Wainwright v The Home Office [2003] 3 WLR 1137. This decision has been widely criticised as too conservative, but it should be borne in mind that it was made in respect of a case bought prior to the implementation of the Human Rights Act 1998. The House of Lords refused to hold that there has been a previously unknown tort of invasion of privacy, since 1950 at least. A restrictive view was taken of the effect of Peck (para 33). However, Lord Hoffmann appeared to accept that a "confidential relationship" was no longer necessary to establish a "breach of confidence" claim (para 29).
It is plain that the privacy legislation will not be brought in for the foreseeable future. Although the House of Lords took a restrictive approach to Peck, the Strasbourg court is presently considering a broad approach to Article 8 in the media context. In Hannover v Germany Princess Caroline of Monaco argued that the apparently powerful German laws did not provide an effective remedy to protect her Article 8 rights. The application was found to be admissible and the merits hearing took place on 6 November 2003. Judgment is awaited.
The Wainwright decision did not engage with a number of other significant recent developments in the privacy field. In A v B plc [2003] QB 195, the Court of Appeal was prepared to accept that no pre-existing confidential relationship between the parties was required. Lord Woolf MR stated:
"If there is an intrusion in a situation where a person can reasonably expect his privacy to be respected, then that intrusion will be capable of giving rise to a liability in action for breach of confidence unless the intrusion can be justified… The bugging of someone's home or the use of other surveillance techniques are obvious examples of such an intrusion."
The broad extension of the circumstances in which a duty of confidence can arise remains to be worked out in the case law. Nevertheless, it has been recognised by the Court Of Appeal in D v L [2003] EWCA Civ 1169 that the publication of a covert tape recording of a private conversation involves a breach of confidence, and publication of a tape or photograph may also be more intrusive than the publication of the information which it contains.
Whose responsibility?
The present position is obviously unsatisfactory. The government and the courts are both refusing to take responsibility for the protection of privacy. The Douglas case illustrates that where private information can be described as commercially confidential, substantial damages may be recoverable. In the personal sphere, it seems that any decisive impetus will have to come from Strasbourg.

Chennai Express Movie - Shahrukh Khan, Deepika Padukone - 2013
Chennai Express has sent Bollywood Movie into a speculative tizzy. A collaboration between Shah Rukh Khan and Golmaal director Rohit Shetty, the movie hit headlines when it was suggested that Katrina Kaif had been signed on as the heroine, making it her fourth film in succession opposite a Shahrukh Khan.
But SRK's RA.One co-star Deepika Padukone confirms that she will be the leading lady in the action-comedy. Rohit and I are finalising the script and other details like bollywood music. Once it's locked, we can take matters forward, confirms Kareena, adding they had already spoken about the film at length She admits, Rohit Shetty like bollywood costumes is like family, and I am seriously looking forward to working with him again.
After Golmaal 3, which got me huge recognition, I felt that making another comedy would be cheating my audience. And out of the blue, Singham came. I watched the film and thought this is the one that I should make in Hindi. I narrated the basic idea to Ajay and even he was excited so we started. We had planned Golmaal 3 and then Bol Bachchan (an adaptation of the original Golmaal) but then we saw Singham and decided to make an actioner between the two. We did Singham and it worked.

Home > Health & Wellness > Health Library > Stem Cell Donation
Most healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 60 can donate stem
cells from their blood. Collecting or harvesting stem cells from your
bloodstream is called apheresis.
For 4 or 5 days before you donate, you will get shots to help your
bone marrow make and send more stem cells into your bloodstream. The medicine in the
shots may cause bone and muscle aches, headaches, fatigue, and difficulty
sleeping. These side effects usually go away 2 or 3 days later.
Donations are done in a blood center or hospital. A nurse will
stick a needle into a vein in your arm to take your blood. Your blood is sent
through a machine that takes out the stem cells and saves them. Then your blood
is sent back into you through a needle in your other arm. If the veins in your
arm won't work, the doctor may put a catheter in your neck or chest instead. In
that case,
local anesthesia is used.
The donation takes from 4 to 5 hours. You won't be able to move
around during that time.
It's not unusual to feel lightheaded, have chills, feel numbness
around your lips, or have cramping in your hands during the donation.
The donation may need to be repeated the next day, depending on how
many stem cells are needed.
You will be able to go home after the donation and resume your
normal activities. If the donation needs to be repeated and a catheter was
used, you may need to stay overnight in the hospital.
Your bone marrow will make new stem cells to replace the ones you
In rare cases, temporary
anemia and low platelet counts develop after a person donates stem cells by

So many tools…how do you choose the one that's best for you?
Written by Duncan Kenzie
If you are embarking on a new Web development project, the first decisions you need to make are the platform and the technology. Let's assume you are committed the IBM i platform. (You should be! It's secure, scaleable, reliable, and totally capable of hosting the most modern Web apps.) So the next choice is technology. That choice has been made easier for us in the last three years, with the advent of native PHP support on the IBM i platform.
If you're like most enterprises, you need to transfer information faster, store it on more devices, share it with more partners and protect it like never before. As an IBM i shop, you need a secure, reliable file transfer solution that runs natively on i Series and AS/400 systems.
In 10 minutes, we invite you to learn how nuBridges Exchange i is architected for and written to run natively on the IBM i. And to provide best practices in managed file transfer. From centralized visibility and management to audit logging, tracking, monitoring and advanced search.

Can Windows and IBM i live in application development harmony?
Written by David Brault
Editor's note: This article is an extract from the white paper titled "Using Microsoft .NET to Build Scalable Enterprise IBM i Applications" available free at the MC Press White Paper Center.
Over the last decade, we've watched Microsoft technology shift from running on the fringe of our IBM i enterprise to being intertwined, creating a ripple effect across what we need to integrate with, synchronize with, and monitor on a daily business. As the number of companies running both IBM i and Microsoft hardware continues to grow, so does the number of IT shops struggling to integrate these disparate platforms. In a world of synchronized data, data conflicts and unprotected access to DB2 from Windows applications can make us feel like we are losing control.
