Ryan Stevenson
After a move to Boise, Idaho, Stevenson released his first solo record, Running to You, with Christian label Off the Vine Records in 2007. Undiscovered followed in 2010 before the EP Yesterday, Today, Forever arrived a year later on BEC Recordings. He switched to Nayrian Records for 2012's Champion of the World EP, and signed with Gotee Records for 2013's Hold Nothing Back. The title track of that album marked Stevenson's debut on the Billboard Christian songs chart. Gotee also released his third full-length album, Fresh Start, in 2015. It featured a duet with Christian rapper TobyMac that reflected an updated, poppier approach to production. The Top Ten Christian album also included "Eye of the Storm" (featuring Gabe Real), which hit number one in 2016. ~ Marcy Donelson

Screen All Baby Boomers And High-Risk Patients For Hep C: Task Force Recommendation
Up to 3.9 million people in the United States are infected with HCV, a virus that can cause inflammation, permanent liver damage, and cancer. The most significant risk factor for HCV infection is past or current injection drug use. Receiving a blood transfusion before 1992 is also an established risk factor. Additional risk factors include chronic hemodialysis, being born to an HCV-infected mother, incarceration, intranasal drug use, getting an unregulated tattoo, and other percutaneous exposures, such as being a health care worker or having surgery before the implementation of universal precautions.
HCV infection is most prevalent among people born from 1945 through 1965, and many of them are unaware that they are infected. This is a problem because HCV progresses slowly, and the risk of serious complications increases as time passes.
The Task Force found that a risk-based approach may miss detection of a substantial proportion of HCV-infected persons in the birth cohort because of a lack of patient disclosure or knowledge about prior risk status. One-time screening for HCV infection in the birth cohort may identify infected patients at an earlier, more treatable stage of disease.
This is an update to a previous recommendation. In 2004, the USPSTF recommended against routine screening for HCV infection in asymptomatic adults who are not at increased risk for infection. At the time, the Task Force also found insufficient evidence to recommend for or against routine HCV screening for adults at high risk for infection.
To inform an update, researchers studied published evidence focusing on research gaps identified in the previous review. The researchers found adequate evidence that the antiviral regimens used as treatment for HCV result in improved clinical outcomes, and that targeted screening misses up to two-thirds of infected patients. Screening tests appear to be accurate for identifying HCV-infected patients with minimal risk of harm.
The authors of an accompanying editorial write that the Task Force's expanded screening recommendations are especially important in light of highly effective treatment for HCV. Screening both those at risk and the birth cohort will help to identify millions of Americans previously unaware of their infection status, preventing liver disease and deaths attributable to chronic HCV infections.

This is a rich and wealthy country, low unemployment, no wars are being fought, yet a lot of these people are war vets and have been left to fend for themselves.

Maybe I Deserve the BruisesMature
~Tamar's Perspective~
I could always tell when people were talking about me.
I knew Ari meant well, but it frustrated me that she'd talk about me and my problems to Jake. Of course, I really liked Jake as a friend, but it wasn't like I wanted him to know every detail of my personal life.
As soon as I saw Ari head over to talk to Jake, I exited the room and made a beeline for the bathrooms. Locking myself inside one of the stalls, I sagged against the stall door and tried what my therapist had suggested. Closing my eyes, I took several long, deep breaths, but it wasn't helping. What was worse, my heart was aching with every beat. Why did my heart hurt so much? I wondered vaguely if it had anything to do with the starving...
I ran my pale hands over my face and continued to breathe in, breathe out. It's gonna be okay. I'm gonna be okay. This happens alot.
No longer caring about the unsanitary conditions of the bathroom stall, I sank to the floor and sat there, my dizzy brain whirling. Everytime I closed my eyes, I could see the number on the scale mocking me, and it made me all the more anxious.
I suddenly didn't care about school anymore. I didn't care about my senior year. I didn't care about preparing for the future. All I cared about was being skinny enough. All I cared about was hiding the bruises on my frail body. Maybe if I lost just a few more pounds, my panic attacks would go away...
That's right. Just a few more pounds, and I'll get there.
My waves of nauseated panic began to fade away, replaced with the dull heartbeat of fleeting tranquility. I leaned my head back against the stall door, fingers absentmindedly tracing my bruises. Maybe I deserved them. Maybe I really wasn't a good daughter. Maybe God was punishing me for being anorexic. I didn't know.
I heard the bathroom door swing open, and I was unpleasantly snapped back to the present. I couldn't let anyone see me like this! Wiping the tears away frantically, I stood and fought against the dizziness that rushed to my head because I'd gotten up too quickly.
I might have been a bad person, but at least I could act normal. At least I could pretend that I wasn't dying on the inside.
I just hoped my stomach wouldn't growl.

In today's economy everyone has a limited budget, but there are ways to still have your fairytale wedding on a limited budget. Below are five ways to get you closer to your fairytale wedding and not exceed your budget.
1. CHOOSE YOUR WEDDING DATE WISELY: When setting your wedding date the time and date can save you thousands of dollars. The most expensive time of the year to have a wedding is April through October. If possible when setting your date consider doing it November through April. The other thing that can save you a ton of money is the day of week and time in which you have your wedding. Saturday evening weddings are the most expensive. If you want to save money book a Friday evening or Sunday evening ceremony and reception. If you want to save a little more money do a middle of the week wedding or an afternoon wedding.
2. EVERYTHING IS NEGOTIABLE: When choosing your vendors don't feel as if you need to accept the first price they give you. Be open and honest with your vendors and let them know what your budget is up front. Most vendors are willing to work with you and within your budget. They understand budgets and if they can't meet your budget they will let you know in the beginning and you will know to continue with your vendor search. Ask questions your vendors about their pricing and if it is over what you want to spend ask them if there are alternatives that can help you stay on budget.
3. HIRE A WEDDING COORDINATOR: Many couples look at a coordinator as an extra expense and a luxury. Wedding coordinators have special relationships with vendors and can get you great deals. Coordinators can also save you stress, put out fires on your wedding day, and generally give you peace of mind. You can hire them for a day, for 10 hours, or for the whole event. They can negotiate contracts, keep you on task, and help you know what to ask when speaking to vendors.
4. FLOWERS ON A BUDGET: When picking your flowers try and choose flowers that are in season. Work with your florist to see if they can make your ceremony arrangements also double as some of your table centerpieces. Make sure to research your florist sometimes the largest florist in town is not necessarily the cheapest. Look into some of the smaller florists. Many times they can give you more bang for your buck.
5. FINDING A DRESS: When looking for a dress don't let the price intimidate you. There are tons of ways to get your dream dress on a limited budget. Ask the store in which you have found your dress if they have sample sales. Sample sale dresses are when a store or designer decides to sell their dresses that people try on. These dresses are typically lightly worn and will need to be cleaned but you could get a $4,000 dress for $800. Also look for trunk sales and look for dresses that may be an older model from a previous season. Look everywhere and research all your options to find your dream dress.
Having a dream wedding on a budget is within your reach!

Chapter 6
"Hey, Baby" Rogal kisses my forehead. "Happy?"
"Extremely" I hold him tightly and kiss his cheek. He holds my face to his and kisses my lips. His warm breath on my cool cheek reminds me of the summer breeze from the wedding earlier.
"So, do you know where we are going for our honeymoon?" I ask Rogal. He shakes his head.
"Our mums came up with it, and no one has told me." I sigh and he squeezes my hand.
"Well we know it'll be good" He smiles and hugs me. Out of no where, my sister pops up.
"Hiya! Lets go." She takes our hands and starts dragging us towards the door.
"Where are we going?" I ask, very confused.
"Your honeymoon, duuh. You'll miss your flight if you don't hurry and I'm sure you want to change into something comfortable." I roll my eyes and let her drag us off. I look at Rogal, who is smiling, and still holding my hand.

In my first part of this article, I unpacked the details and implications of the sceptical proposition "The canonical Gospels (and particularly their infancy narratives) are,
in part, orthodox responses and redactions of stories by early pagan
converts that simply got out of hand and became too popular to ignore."
This proposal represents an interesting variant of a normal type of sceptical theory about how various fictional myths (distinct from historical events with mythic meaning) got attached to the story of the historical Jesus Christ by the followers of Jesus after his death. On this general type of theory the pronoun would be decapitalized of course, Jesus having never been anything other than another purely human man; although actually this variant of the theory is flexible enough that it could include something like the idea that almost all events and ideas in the Gospels (and Acts) are true except for the virgin birth and the two infancy narratives built around it -- the theory would be attempting to explain how (for this theory) the fictional infancy narratives and their pagan ideas got incorporated into the Gospels with some Christian theological baptism, so to speak. But of course, the theory is also flexibly capable of going as far or farther than Schweitzer (to give a highly influential early 20th century example) in dismissing almost all events and ideas in the Gospels (and Acts) as false, with some or (not necessarily) all of those details imported by Christian authorities and authors -- for what reason? Per this interesting variant, because out-of-control innovations by pagan converts to Christianity became too popular to be ignored or otherwise censured.
So: the theory is about a situation at the time of canonical authorship -- and the theory can be flexible about the timing (so long as the timing isn't impossible), and situations could be different at different times. Consequently, the text characteristics themselves will have to stand as sufficient evidence about what the situation was, at any given time of authorship. If the text characteristics don't fit the proposed situation, then there's no need to try to consider timing factors for Christian society otherwise.
Now, the first thing to note is that Paul of Tarsus usually gets the blame in sceptical theories for introducing pagan innovations into Christianity; and almost all compositional theories, across the ideological board, consider his epistles to have been written some time before the canonical Gospels and Acts.
But Paul regularly tells his congregations to stay away from pagan religious ideas and even from philosophical schools -- which is important to note since Paul shows signs of not only having been educated in the Greco-Roman gymnasia system but also of continuing to appreciate at least some Greek philosophers. But he appreciates them, as far as he does, strictly within the terms of Judeo-Christianity, and not a step farther, not even in the Mars Hill scene in Acts where he goes far in granting credit to pagan religion and philosophy. He doesn't at all appeal to either of those broad groups, implicitly or explicitly, broadly or specifically, as grounds for his own beliefs, much less for the beliefs of his congregations. On the contrary he congratulates his congregations for getting out of such things and warns them in harsh terms not to get back into them.
In other words, even when Paul is being charitably lax -- even by some modern conservative standards! -- he isn't bowing to popular pressure for innovation at all. When he talks about and recommends charitably bowing to social pressure, he does so in favor of (what we would now call) more conservative beliefs! -- since for those other (more conservative) people doing such-and-such must be wrong and therefore to lead them into doing what they themselves regard as wrong would be sin. That may be a little more liberal attitude than many conservative Christians would be comfortable with -- he's basically saying such people are weak and should be pitied and protected by the self-sacrifice of those who are strong enough to know that eating pagan meat simply by itself, for example, is of no consequence -- but it's a liberal attitude that still runs completely against the idea that he's bowing to popular pressure to import pagan ideas into Christianity. Even when he says in 1 Cor 9 that in becoming like those without the Torah of God he makes himself weak in order to win to Christ those outside the Torah (i.e. pagans whom he also regards as weak), he specifies he is not without the Torah (Law) of God but under the Law of Christ. And that's in a passage, toward the end of the chapter, where he uses the gymnasium or Olympic athletic system as a good analogy!
Again, not much earlier (in what we now call chapter 8), when he grants some leniency in eating meat that has been sacrificed to idols, and along the way imports Jesus Christ into a level on par with God the Father -- which sceptical theories tend to explain by pagan influence -- he explicitly rejects any idea of accepting pagan influence! For even though he acknowledges many lords and gods do exist, they are practically nothing and might as well not even exist compared to the Jewish God of the Shema, and neither should Christians have anything to do with such lesser lords and gods but rather with God the Father and Jesus Christ, two distinct persons of the one God of the Jewish Shema. Whatever his idea is here, it must be sought in Jewish preliminary ideas, not from pagan compromise, and certainly not as a grudging allowance of pagan ideas imposed upon him by popular pressure (even if redacted by him into something more suitable).
Again taking 1 Cor as a handy example, Paul's own chief enemy in the Corinthian church is a fellow I like to nickname the Stepmom-Sleeping Guy. He has managed to get some authority in the Corinthian congregation, and likes to import pagan and philosophical ideas (especially when those allow him to do what he wants, like sleep with his father's wife). His presence is also connected to the factionalizing among the Corinthians, with parties taking sides of various teachers as in philosophical schools, including Paul himself along with Jesus among those party factions. But Paul absolutely rejects this in the harshest terms (and with some ripe sarcasm along the way), and goes so far as to hand the SSG over to Satan for the whole-destruction of his flesh! Even though Paul sees that punishment as remedial discipline, and still expects the SSG's spirit to be saved eventually in the Day of the Lord to come, that doesn't mean he approves of what the SSG has been doing; nor would he, by parallel, approve of other Christian teachers doing the same thing. In fact Paul drops the hammer on other teachers in other epistles (at least once using language similar to the SSG's denunciation) for letting pagan influence into the congregations.
Whenever the topic comes up in the Pauline epistles, the textual characteristics run strongly against the idea that Paul is importing pagan ideas at all as a basis for his and his congregations' Christian religious beliefs (or any of their beliefs even if not religious). Nor does it matter how many of the epistles someone regards as legitimately Pauline; pick any subset to be pseudonymous as you like: if the topic comes, so will the same characteristics.
Nor does the situation change for the Epistle to the Hebrews, which makes no specific claim to be Pauline (and may make claims excluding Paul's authorship) but which does claim to be associated with Paul's group(s). On the contrary, whoever the author is, he's evidently promoting a (proto-)orthodox Christianity over-against Philonic Judaism! -- a popular compromise system among Hellenistic Jews and previously-pagan Godfearers who aren't quite ready to be Jews yet. (Although, it's a whole other discussion how far the Alexandrian Jewish philosopher Philo was actually compromising Judaism. But he sure wasn't doing so, out of some kind of popular previously-pagan pressure within Judaism!)
Maybe other Christian authorities were letting such things in, at the time of Paul's epistles and/or later, in deference to popular pressure? The authoritative behavior could have happened outside his Churches and in the intervening years between the epistles and gospels.
Alexander (in the original Facebook thread) asked this in followup, as though I had only mentioned Paul in my reply to his original post; but in fact I had (more briefly than this) pointed out, that the exact same behavior runs through all the canonical texts whenever the topic comes up, and beyond their composition for centuries.
So at what point are the authors supposed to be grudgingly bowing to pagan popular notions among Christian converts and changing their own ideas to follow suit (even if doing so with redactional coloring)?
As noted, any proposed pseudo-Paulines do the same thing as any legitimate Paulines. When we go to the Catholic epistles, i.e. all the other canonicals with authors different from Paul? It doesn't matter when they were written or by who they were really written; be as early or as late, as genuine or as spurious as you like, the result will be the same: a refusal to bow to any importation of pagan ideas, whether philosophical or religious. It isn't that the texts are completely silent on the matter; on the contrary they say enough to let us know that there were popular importations from pagan converts going on, as well as importations being introduced by nominally Christian authorities. But all the canonical epistle authors to the last man (or woman perhaps in a couple of cases), not just Paul, reject and oppose this; just like they reject and oppose popular and authoritative attempts to bring back or inject Judaic legalism. Yet they aren't rejecting and opposing Jewish theology! -- everything they write hews back to that, and promotes it as the only good theology for their followers. Ditto Jewish history, and Jewish scriptures: any redaction or midrashing by the canonical epistle writers at any time, has the Jewish canonical scriptures in view, and in religious respect for them.
That's over half the NT with characteristics explicitly running against this theory.
RevJohn? God help you there, if you're bowing to authoritative or popular pagan pressure! -- or rather, God isn't going to help you, He's going to zorch you for doing so, in arguably the harshest such language in the whole canonical New Testament. Even if the final result of that zorching brings the rebels back into loyalty to God after all (which I'll mention as an exegetical option since, being a Christian universalist, I might be expected to), that doesn't in the least mean pagan importation is being grudgingly or opportunistically accepted by the canonical author.
At last then we come to the Gospels and Acts. There's nothing left, and they're what the proposal was explicitly about anyway.
And, much to the not-surprise of anyone familiar with them, they do the exact same thing. However liberal (we might say) Jesus is in being kind to pagans, and complimenting pagans, and reaching out to pagans, he stays firmly rooted in promoting Jewish theology and gives no indications that he, thus not the authors either, is grudgingly allowing in pagan ideas too popular to ignore or oppose anymore; much less changing prior Jewish (much less prior Christian) ideas to match these new fictional innovations. It doesn't matter how historically accurate the authors are portraying Jesus in any of the four canonical Gospels: he's shown doing one thing and not another.
Nor are the authors doing this when narrating and commenting on events. Nor when writing other authoritative characters, including in Acts, where we actually do see some popular pagan pressures once in a while, typically on Paul's side of the story (as might be expected from his missionary outreach) -- but those pressures are being rejected by the authoritative characters. Back on Peter's side of the story, his great epiphany about the animals being all fit to eat, has nothing to do with importing pagan ideas from converts (even if he's baptizing them in doing so), but rather about him being less narrowminded about reaching out to pagans to bring them into the promises of Jewish theology as he understands it after Jesus. Pagan popular pressure nearly kills Paul, but he doesn't reluctantly bow to incorporating it to save himself. Even when he and his cousin and fellow evangelist Barnabas are mistaken for Zeus and Apollo in human form, and he has an opportunity to incorporate a popular pagan pressure in a peaceful way, he doesn't bring religious ideas about Zeus and Apollo into his Christian message (and nearly gets himself and Barnabas killed for his refusal to accommodate the crowd). That means Luke, the author of Acts, isn't doing it either.
So there is routine explicit evidence of various kinds across the canon, against the idea that the authorities, and canonical authors, are ceding their religious stances and modifying them in response to popular pressure among pagan converts.
What is the evidence supposed to be in favor of the theory? Pagans (like the astrologers in GosMatt) coming to worship the God of Israel? -- that hardly counts! Story details with Jewish connections that happen to have some degree of parallel in pagan stories? None of those details include intrinsic evidence in favor of their inclusion being due to authorities bowing to popular pagan convert pressure -- I confidently challenge anyone to try arguing otherwise -- and while the theory offers one explanation for their existence, that explanation flies against the evidence of other strong textual characteristics.
The only potential evidence I can imagine remaining in favor of the theory, would be details being changed progressively between Gospel compositions, in a more overtly pagan theological direction even if redactionally baptized; but that would involve something like the Synoptics talking about the incident of the Feeding of the 5000 in connection with the Jewish Passover festival, and then in GosJohn Isis comes down to marry Jesus during the Feeding while the Passover connections are either ignored or deployed in support of this and then Jesus deflects complaints from his apostles about how freaking pagan that is with a reassurance that it's all right, he has known Isis for a long time and now she has found him again so why not celebrate for he was lost and now is found and was dead but now is alive?
But that kind of thing doesn't happen. Not even a little bit. Actually, it's the Synoptics which don't mention Passover connections and GosJohn which does! -- and then goes into some high level obscure rabbinic Jewish disputes about its meaning soon afterward. If it's dated at the end of the compositional arc of development, GosJohn is getting more Jewish if anything!
And while the Synoptic parallel feeding of the 4000 could be distantly inferred from its narrative details to have occurred in a largely pagan area and so to have maybe involved a lot of pagans who were maybe (due to the probable season of the event) on the way to a pagan spring festival and decided to do this instead for three days...? Even then, there's nothing explicit about that in the Gospels themselves. And even though the situation would thereby involve exactly the large number of pagan converts the theory expects (and so the Gospels could be speaking in code about them, using a fictional parallel to the 5000), there's no sign that pagan ideas are being thus imported, much less that this importation of pagan ideas was happening due to popular pressure. And then not only GosJohn but GosLuke drop the 4000 altogether, on standard dating and composition theories! -- the barely imaginable evidence, such as it is, would run in reverse of the theory on this example!
(Not that I'm taking this example from anyone I know of; I'm just volunteering it out of my own harmonization work: I do think the 4000 involved evangelizing pagan Gentiles in comparison to evangelizing Jews during the 5000 incident, and Jesus may have even co-opted a pagan holiday to do it. But I wouldn't hang anything on that, since the evidence for it is scanty if suggestive, and I sure don't see pagan ideas being thus imported into Christianity thereby.)
Again, I feel quite confident of challenging anyone on evidence of a supposed doctrinal or thematic development from less pagan to more pagan between the Gospels at all, and much less any such development also having evidence of being due to authors and/or their own authorities bowing to popular pagan convert pressure.
And without even that, there's nothing left: the theory has no intrinsic evidence in its favor, only data that the theory is trying to explain the existence of; and lots of explicit evidence of various kinds against this attitude being a factor for any of the canonical authors even when they do testify to popular pressure from pagan converts.
The theory could still be said to have some level external evidence, depending on how far the argument(s) from similarity of Christian details to pagan details can be pressed; but what external evidence is there that, at the time of Gospel (and Acts) composition (no later than the mid-100s, or back as early as the 60s, 50s, or even 40s), there was such out-of-control pagan innovationing happening that the (proto-)orthodox Christian authorities decided the best or safest route was to appease the mob and incorporate the popular details with some Christian baptizing (so to speak)?
I think I can safely say that any such proposed external evidence falls into two distinct categories.
Category (A): the evidence is the same as such evidence internally in the NT canonical texts, that such pagan innovationing was happening and some Christian authorities were playing along or even fostering it -- but the orthodox authors rejected this and fought against it. In other words, the evidence still isn't about what the theory needs: proto-orthodox authors bringing pagan ideas in, and particularly to appease pressure from the pagan convert mob. This is not at all the same kind of thing as, for example, Justin Martyr borrowing the legend of the phoenix to give his pagan audience an analogy for what he's already teaching to be true about Christ; nor Justin joyfully working out a convenient pun between Christos, "anointed", and Chrestos, "golden", with reference to healing mustard patches, along with connections of Jesus' name in Greek to healing, behind which might be caught some echoes of Jason and the Golden Fleece. Reaching out to non-Christians using analogies, with correctives as to the differences, to help them accept what Christians are already teaching, is different at almost every point from grudgingly taking ideas from out-of-control converts and using them to authoritatively change and introduce ideas in Christianity for acceptance by Christians who previously had been believing something less or other.
But since we're considering what was going on in the 100s, in deference to (what are currently fringe) theories about Gospel and Acts compositions in the second Christian century, that brings us to...
Category (B): non-orthodox authors and authorities syncretistically picking up details from here and there in paganism and putting them together with prior Christian details to create something new which they approve of and promote to their followers. We do have quite a few examples of this happening, not only in the 100s but for a long time afterward, typically among what are broadly called the Gnostic sects. But these aren't creating "orthodox" theologies, much less "orthodox" histories -- they usually aren't much interested in dealing with the historical Jesus at all, even to create new historical details about him. And they are definitely not doing it out of grudging mob pressure of converts, although they might be doing it to avoid Imperial judicial pressures and/or to avoid various levels of inconvenient social pressures among pagans outside their group. On the contrary, the Gnostic authors reject the mob (and so also its influences) so hard that the typical scheme of Gnostic groups is to dole out secret knowledge to those who prove they are among the elite few worthy to receive it!
So whether among 2nd century proto-orthodox texts, or among 2nd century non-orthodox texts, the evidence either way just doesn't fit a theory of orthodox detail development, whether in the Gospel (and Acts) texts or otherwise.
The closest example resembling the theory that I can find, happens toward the end of the 2nd century, when (proto-)orthodox Christian universalists like Clement and Origen recommend not talking to common people about God's eventual salvation of all sinners from sin, because the common person can barely restrain themselves from sinning even with threats of finally hopeless punishment looming over them.
Whether or not that counts as key orthodox authorities (Clement and Origen both presided over the recently established catechetical university for teaching orthodox belief to Christian teachers to pass on) altering prior orthodox beliefs to create new orthodox beliefs, out of deference to out-of-control pagan innovations which had gotten to popular to ignore or censure, is beside the point (although I think this pretty clearly still isn't such a thing -- Clement and Origen had no problem stomping down on pagan innovations when they thought they saw them cropping up): by then the canonical texts had definitely been written, even on the most ludicrously late sceptical theories. (Not counting popular anti-Christian apologetics which sloppily leave a impression that the canonical texts were somehow written after Constantine became Emperor.)
So, as far out or as early, either way, as anyone wants to put the composition of canonical Gospels (and Acts), it doesn't matter: the situation is still quite different from the interesting specific proposal that at least some innovations in orthodox texts got inserted by orthodox authorities due to out-of-control popular pressure from pagan converts. If any details were invented, they were invented for different reasons, whether by the authorities behind the texts, or somehow before those authorities got around to passing along the details in the texts.

In Conversation With Colin le Duc of Generation Investment Management and Ian Yolles of Recyclebank
Published: November 3, 2011
- Ian Yolles, Chief Sustainability Officer, Recyclebank
- Colin le Duc, Partner, Generation Investment Management
- Joel Makower, Chairman and Executive Editor, GreenBiz Group, Inc. (Moderator)
- Sustainable investing is moving into the mainstream, which requires changing incentives and thinking long term about business success.
- Consumers will respond to positive incentives—either financial or related to enhancing their social status—more than ethical appeals to do the right thing.
- Consumer behavior-change campaigns and social media platforms that include offline, "real-world" connections are more sustainable than those that only exist online.
Memorable Quotes
"We were focused at first on providing financial incentives to motivate consumers. However, different people are motivated in different ways. We're now experimenting with social currency and information currency to motivate behavioral change." —Ian Yolles, Recyclebank
"Our investments try to distinguish between companies that are genuinely sustainable over the long term versus those that are not." —Colin le Duc, Generation Investment Management
"Sustainability succeeds only as long as it means 'better,' however you define that. Some clean technologies haven't been 'better,' either because they have been more costly, or for other reasons." —Joel Makower, Chairman and Executive Editor, GreenBiz Group Inc.
Le Duc began the discussion reflecting on Al Gore's message from the previous day on the importance of passion in the field of sustainable development, and his own passion for long-term sustainable investment. Le Duc described Generation Investment Management's focus on investing in businesses that are going to be relevant to future generations and successful over the long term. Moreover, the company's approach is intended to professionalize sustainable investing and to bring it into the mainstream of the financial sector.
Further, le Duc outlined Generation Investment Management's strategy to buy and hold ownership of companies that provide solutions to climate change and that have integrated sustainability fully into their business models. Fundamentally, Generation Investment Management intends to correct misalignment of incentives within companies, and also between companies and the financial sector, therefore aiding the transition to a sustainable economy.
As an example, le Duc provided more detail about the reasoning behind his firm's investment in Recyclebank, which provides consumers with redeemable points for their everyday activities that result in reduced environmental impacts, such as recycling household goods and reducing energy usage. In le Duc's words, Recyclebank "provides incentives to consumers for 'green' behavior, and it acts as a 'green' currency." Because the company was doing what no other company was doing, Generation Investment Management idenitified it as a key target for investment.
To further elaborate on Recyclebank's business model, Yolles explained the evolution of Recyclebank's activities. At first the company attached RFID chips and scales to households' recycling containers, which enabled waste-management utilities to track the extent of households' recycling. In turn, tracking this data enabled the awarding of points, which consumers could redeem at local businesses. In this way, consumers were rewarded for green behavior, and local businesses saw an uptick in their sales.
Following the success of this line of business, Yolles continued, Recyclebank expanded to offer incentives for a wider range of green behaviors. For example, in London, consumers can opt in to a GPS tracking application that rewards them for walking or using mass transit to commute. Yolles described the company's vision: "The ambition is to build the first authentic mass green brand. We can appeal to a mainstream audience and help influence their behavior."
Yolles and le Duc then discussed how the understanding of what influences consumers is evolving. For example, financial "carrots" using social currency, such as awarding status badges or establishing leader boards that spotlight top performers, is a powerful way of motivating behavior change.
Makower then brought the discussion back to the question of investment and what long-term, sustainability-conscious investors want as outcomes. From the Generation Investment Management perspective, le Duc explained, they look for low-risk investments that offer a large potential for return from new markets that have sustainability at their core. For Recyclebank, Yolles described a changing landscape from which he hoped Recyclebank would prosper; namely, that more and more companies will seek to engage their consumers, to inspire them, and to assist them in making more sustainable choices and to exhibit more sustainable behaviors.
During the Q&A session, Conrad McKerron from As You Sow, asked about how Recyclebank addresses systems where there are components beyond the companies' control. He used the example of municipal recycling and pointed out that in many communities curbside pickup of recycled bottles and cans is not an option.
Both le Duc and Yolles responded that it is critical for businesses to make sure the systems that support their activities and consumers "greener" behaviors are in place to ensure long-term success. They pointed to efforts like Gazelle, which encourages consumers to return used products to retailers, and Harvest Power, which generates compost and fuel from food waste, as good examples.
The session wound down with a question about how the speakers value companies that are innovative and sustainable. Yolles answered that for well-developed businesses, their valuation is based on financial information, while for new companies, they ask three basic questions:
- Is the market big?
- Is the management team excellent?
- Is there a strong business model?
Le Duc closed the session with a story about a business owner who brings his son to look out over the vista of a polluted industrial landscape, and then tells him that he can achieve success by being rich or by being proud of himself. Makower noted that those who can do both will be the winners of sustainability.

Most San Antonio Spurs fans gripe about the national media putting their beloved team in the spotlight. Most Spurs fans complain when the Spurs are featured, it is usually to point out how "boring" they are or glorify a player from another team dunking on them. However, ESPN's Jeremy Shaap put the Spurs in the forefront to praise them for their quiet approach to the game and above all, their team-first mentality, and winning ways. From Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Matt Bonner to GM R.C. Buford, the Spurs give their thoughts on what it means to play in San Antonio. Check out the great words heaped upon the Spurs including Parker saying he can see himself living in the Alamo City over Paris, France after retirement from the NBA.

Briefly, investor relations (or IR) is a specific sub-discipline of public relations that revolves around how a company communicates with investors, shareholders, government authorities, and the financial community. Unlike standard public relations practices, investor relations practices have to be tightly integrated with a corporation's accounting department, legal department, and top executives such as the CEO, CFO, and COO.
The purpose of investor relations is ultimately to ensure that a company's stock is being traded fairly through disclosure of key facts that allow investors to assess whether a company is a good investment or not.
Investor relations as a formal discipline has been around as long as publicly traded companies, but became much more important in the United States in 2002. In that year, Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (also known as the Public Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act) which drastically increased the reporting requirements of any company that was publicly traded on a stock market exchange. This occurred in response to a number of serious corporate scandals with shadowy accounting, shell companies, and a variety of other practices, most notably by the Enron Corporation.
What does investor relations do? Public relations teams and agencies that handle investor relations typically do tasks like coordinating shareholder meetings and press conferences, release financial information (one of the most common uses of the press release today) to the investor community, conduct financial analyst briefings, publish quarterly and annual reports, and handle any crises that arise as a result of financial disclosure. Investor relations teams and firms also need to be well-versed in different regulatory requirements such as quiet periods, when you cannot talk about certain aspects of the company, and advise internal and external marketing and PR partners about what they can and cannot do.
When does a company need investor relations? The best time to engage an investor relations firm and start to build out your investor relations team is the moment you start thinking about going public as a corporation with an initial public offering, or IPO. You can't wait until you've filed an S-1 form (to register your intent to go public) to start thinking about investor relations; an investor relations program should be built in lockstep with the IPO process from the very beginning. As you establish formal corporate governance, investor relations teams should be codifying them and preparing them for eventual release. As you conduct internal financial audits, investor relations teams should be involved in the discovery process so that any unpleasant findings can be handled and disclosed both within the bounds of law and with care.
Ultimately, investor relations is a vitally important part of a publicly-traded company's communications program, both for compliance and relationship-building purposes with the investment community. If it's well-run, not only do you meet all regulatory requirements, you also have great relationships with key financial and investment analysts.

Race for the Cure to celebrate cancer survivors
ATLANTA - A local woman is one of dozens who will be honored this weekend as breast cancer survivors.
Frances Wand is one of the women who are on the road to recovery because of the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Atlanta.
Wand told Channel 2's Linda Stouffer she discovered a lump in her breast was cancer when she was between jobs and had no insurance.
"Without the funding Komen provided, I would not have been able to get a mammogram," Wand said. "I'm a survivor and God gave me the chance to walk the steps to complete the race."
Wand underwent 15 surgeries and now will take part in Race for the Cure this weekend, supporting programs for cancer patients here in Georgia.
Every year, 100 local women find their cancer through Komen grants, officials told Stouffer.
- Register: Race for the Cure
- Donate: Komen Greater Atlanta
- MORE INFO: Northside Breast Health programs
That money goes to things like a mobile mammography unit. Advancements in imaging make it possible to find more tumors, more quickly.
Northside Hospital's Susan Casella said the unit is the best weapon against breast cancer while researchers work on a cure.
"Early detection is what saves lives," Casella said.
Komen Atlanta workers and volunteers say Race for the Cure is their biggest fundraiser and they hope race numbers top last year.
"We're expecting 15,000 people. We expect to raise $1.5 million and 75 percent will stay right here locally in metro Atlanta," said Cati Stone with Komen of Greater Atlanta.
Komen Greater Atlanta is a local resource for women who need breast cancer screening, diagnostics and support. The organization has raised more than $35 million in the past 20 years.
Individuals and teams can register for Saturday's 5K run/walk event or the 1 mile family walk through Wednesday. Visit www.komenatlanta.org to participate.
Individual registration is also available beginning at 6:45 a.m. on Saturday morning at the event for $35. This year's event takes place at Atlantic Station in midtown Atlanta.

Ferrari were fined 100,000 US dollars for implementing team orders that resulted in Felipe Massa allowing by Fernando Alonso to claim his 23rd career victory. The Maranello marque face the prospect of further punishment as the matter has been referred to the World Motor Sport Council.
Domenicali, though, has expressed his confidence "that the World Council will know how to evaluate the overall facts correctly".
The incident was sparked by a coded message to Massa on lap 47 that "Fernando is faster than you", which led to the Brazilian allowing by the double world champion two laps later.
Explaining the situation, and speaking before the fine was handed out, Domenicali said: "We gave information to Felipe about the situation.
"We have already seen in the past that certain situations did not provide the best result to the team (referring to the accident in Turkey between Red Bull drivers Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel).
"So that was the information we gave and we left it to the driver to understand and take notice of it in order to make sure the team, in terms of results, gets the best.
"Again, the most important thing is we always consider the team interest as the best for us at least. After three very, very heavy grands prix, we have recovered from a very difficult situation, so I am pleased for the team. That's very important."
Domenicali further dismissed suggestions he now has a number one and two driver within his team.
"I am very happy with Felipe's performance, no doubt," added Domenicali. "Felipe will have his chance, and for the benefit of the team he will push for the championship, no doubt at all. There is no one and two."

I found Midnight quite quickly. She was sitting on a fallen angel's lap in an embrace. It was a couple's embrace but more a family one. The angel looked very upset, almost distraught.
"Erm, are you Midnight?" I asked timidly, not wanting to interrupt but needing to. She stood up and took me in. She was quite small (although by Pixie standards she was a giant - even I was quite tall for a Pixie!) and so she seemed slightly pleased that she was taller than me. Before she stood I saw the angels face harden. I acted as if I knew nothing was amiss; showing him I respected his privacy.
"Yes, I am, may I help you?" Midnight asked sweetly with a smile.
"I'm Zuri, I'm new here," I spoke quickly, babbling again, "I got told to come to you."
"Oh, okay, follow me and I'll show you where to get your stuff," Midnight said with another smile.
"Thank you," I murmured. Always polite, that was us Pixies. I noticed the fallen angel staring at me. I shot him a confused look.
"Why are you here? Aren't Pixies self-educated?" the angel said with a frown. I shifted. Midnight looked between us baffled. Trust this hostile, fallen angel to know about Pixies.
"Pixie are one of the most secretive creatures in the world," the angel explained to Midnight, "They have a, ah, sad history which has made them like that. They very rarely leave their worlds and they're never taught outside those worlds." Okay, he knew way too much. He smiled wryly as if he'd heard my thoughts. Then it hit me that he might actually be able to hear my thoughts. I narrowed my eyes at him and his smile became a smirk.
"Jerk," I muttered then smiled sunnily. Pixies... I suppose the best word is meditate, a lot so I used that skill to block my mind from him. "I'm breaking the trend. I figure I can handle the outside world," I informed them. I turned to Midnight as the angel scowled, "Can you show me around now, please?" Midnight nodded and we walked off together. I relaxed as we got further away from the mind reader.
"So, what's the angel's name?" I asked Midnight, hoping to learn more about her from simple questions and her expressions.

WASHINGTON (AFP) – Washington is developing a smartphone app to enable its taxis to compete head-on with Uber and other ride-sharing services, the US capital's taxi commission said Friday.
Beta testing of the Universal DC TaxiApp is scheduled to begin in March, and if all goes well it could be fully in service by late spring.
"We are the first in the country to have a universal taxi cab app," DC Taxi Commission spokesman Neville Waters told AFP.
"This is not targeting Uber per se," he said. This is a result of what consumers have been demanding – and it enables taxis to compete on a level playing field with other private operators."
All 7,000 licensed taxis in Washington will be obliged to make themselves available on the app whenever they are out on streets and on duty.
Drivers and taxi companies will be free to keep using alternative taxi-hailing apps alongside the Universal DC TaxiApp, Waters said.
Consumers, meanwhile, will still be at liberty to opt for Uber, Lyft, Sidecar or other ride-sharing services in lieu of a conventional cab.
While the DC Taxi Commission is developing the app, it will be up to an taxi industry cooperative to maintain it and set user fees.
In New York, the city council is considering a bill that would not only create a similar app, but also enable taxis to be called using Uber, Lyft or other third-party apps.
"Instead of making new technologies illegal or regulating them out of business, we should provide a level playing field with fair competition so that companies, drivers and riders all win," said New York councillor Ben Kallos, the bill's sponsor.
A darling of Silicon Valley, Uber has disrupted the taxi industry enough to trigger bans in Spain and Thailand and lawsuits in some big US cities.

The critics have scoffed and generally poured derision on Uriah Heep over the years, but the band have sold millions of records and have had five US Top 40 albums. A technically brilliant heavy rock band, they deserve most credit for continuing despite over 40 personnel changes and two deaths along the way.
The band was formed by David Byron (David Garrick, 29 January 1947, Epping, Essex, England, d. 28 February 1985, Reading, Berkshire, England; vocals) and Mick Box (b. 8 June 1947, Walthamstow, London, England; lead guitar/vocals). The pair had teamed up in the Stalkers during the mid-60s, and after that unit broke up they assembled Spice with Paul Newton (b. 21 February 1945, Andover, Hampshire, England; bass) and Alex Napier (drums), recording a one-off single (What About The Music/In Love) for United Artists Records. Spice evolved into Uriah Heep (the name was taken from a character in Charles Dickens novel...

Girls and Fingers review
Summary: Girls and Fingers tries to focus on girls masturbating using either their hands or toys. The content is both videos and photos - both in good quality. This site alone doesn't offer enough value for money, but is part of a network with more amateur sites.
Melissa, 2007-04-11
Amateur, 18-23, Videos, Movies, Softcore
Intro promises
What better friend can a girl have but her own hands? And youll see on Girls and Fingers how they put them to good use. Theyll be shriveled up from moisture before they stop with the masturbation sensations theyre supplying your screen with here. Youre promised pictures, videos in WMV, and also material for your iPod and PSP. Youll notice during your joining phase that they offer another bundle for you, this contains bonus material and hits your wallet with another ten dollars, so the choice would be yours there.
First impression
Theres nothing wrong with a girl taking matters into her own hands when the job needs done, and it looks to me from the tour area of this site, thats exactly what were going to get. Who needs boys when you have toys? You dont have to worry about the afterwards snoring you just have to make sure the batteries are fresh.

Our opinion
Actually the main membership page to Girls and Fingers happens to have things broken down nicely. They do give you the news, the most recent, the top rated, and then links to all photos, all videos and more, so you shouldnt have to take a course in navigation to be where you want to be.
Youre supplied with 45 galleries of images, and the pics they use to advertise the folder content would be pleasing to one and all. Girls on their knees, butts high in the air, thighs spread widely and then that innocent look on their face that just tells you theyre getting ready to do something extremely un-ladylike. The most recent set was added just today and this is where well find Rebecca on a red futon and ready to feel those thrills and chills coursing through her veins.
The thumbs are pretty small, but clear, and even though they arent bordered for that extra touch that I enjoy seeing, theyre good. They definitely didnt tell any tall tales in regards to the quality for the images, its wonderful. Youve got clarity, nice color, no blurriness or fuzz... except what you might find on a few of the mounds here. The pixel sizes come in at 798x1200, so you arent getting cheated there, and there is a slide show offering with different speeds to choose from. Believe me, youll want to linger with the finger just like theyre doing. Rebecca is young, pretty and gives a nice upskirt shot too.
Rebecca just happens to be the girl that shares the limelight for the most recent video as well. In opening the video pages I found 54 episodes, and when clicking on hers, youll get everything just as promised, a high and low for WMV format and then you can also access the iPod and PSP plays from this same page. Decide if you want to stream or download because you do have both options available to you. This cutie is all set up for some personal pussy time, lying back across the bed naked and dropping her knees off to the side she starts the fun rolling with making sure her saliva is coating her fingers and then she goes delving for her own generated moisture.
As for the low quality, even though it was a video size of 320x240, the play was still nice and acceptable at 314Kbps. The high option though is definitely what youll want to choose, as long as you do have the faster connection speed to handle it. This is where I found a really nice 1192 Kbps and a video size of 640x480, and even clicking to enlarge to full screen kept its nice look. Your range in time varies per piece, and there are 54 pieces offered as I mentioned earlier, but they start out at 11+ minutes and gain a few minutes here and there. In case youre interested, for the iPod choice, this is downloadable with a 13.11MB file size and the same goes for the PSP opportunity as well.
The hot girls you find on this website are giving it up by what seems like the gallons here. They strip, they spread, they tease and they please, sometimes to the tune of multiple orgasms. Dont forget to rate your favorites, thats how they know what members are really wanting and enjoying.
Are you a masturbation man? Someone that enjoys doing it while the hot girls you're watching are doing it as well? Then you'll enjoy what Girls and Fingers is bringing to your clasping fingertips. You've got naughtiness coming from their own hands, wet panties, pussy spreading and dripping slits. The quality to this site is nice, but the prices for membership are too high if it were for this site alone.

Sometimes sensitive data is not allowed in production or replicated data stores. Other times, that information may not be needed in a future process step. In either case, removing or covering over the data from source tables and files is the only sure way to keep it from appearing in your output(s).
Removing or masking columns or specific values from database tables usually requires a DBA to manage the process. Removing fields from, or applying omission criteria to, flat files is not a trivial task either. This is especially true with multiple, very large data sources, and complex redaction rules.
Data redaction tools for structured data sources are typically expensive, and unlikely to combine this functionality with field-level protections like encryption, de-identification, pseudonymization at the same time.
If you manage personally identifiable data in database tables or flat files, you can select which source columns and values will remain or display in your target(s). Populate tables, reports, and hand-off files with data provided on a need-to-know basis.
With either IRI FieldShield or the SortCL program in IRI CoSort, you can selectively omit or mask parts of rows or columns from inputs or outputs based on conditional evaluation logic. That is, either filter out or cover over the field values or component parts (sub-strings or particular bytes) based on your business rules.
If the sensitive data reside in unstructured text files, IRI software can help you find, structure, and place that information in protected, structured targets.
Additional FieldShield functions like encryption, de-identification, and obfuscation are also possible on other fields at the same time. CoSort SortCL users can also redact and mask data during data transformation, migration, and reporting operations.

New Delhi, Sept 27: A week after the Delhi High Court order, the Delhi Legal Services Authority (DLSA) today asked police to provide 24-hour security to three witnesses in 1984 anti-Sikh riots cases involving senior Congress leader Sajjan Kumar.
D S Punia, member secretary of DLSA, directed Delhi Police Commissioner to provide security to prosecution witnesses Sheela Kaur, Popri Kaur and Joginder Singh after they expressed apprehension of threats. A CBI report was also filed subsequently.
Secretary is the nodal officer appointed by the high court earlier in a similar matter till the enactment of new legislation on the issue. The nodal officer also asked other six witnesses to appear before him on October 10.
On September 18, a bench headed by Chief Justice N V Ramana had referred the matter to DLSA while hearing a PIL for direction to provide protection to the witnesses in 1984 anti-Sikh riot cases. The bench had asked senior advocate H S Phoolka, counsel for petitioner, to approach the DLSA.
A PIL was filed in the high court by 'November 1984 Carnage Justice Committee' for a direction to Delhi and Punjab governments to provide security to the witnesses during the pendency of the cases before the trial court.
Citing a list of witnesses in two anti-Sikh riot cases, the PIL said, "Despite various judgements and orders passed by various courts, including the high court and the apex court, to the effect that the witnesses should not be allowed to come under pressure of the accused and that it is the duty of the government to provide adequate protection to the witnesses, the respondents have failed to abide by the same."
