text: GAO Reveals Potential Farm Payment Snafus Report shows potentially erroneous FSA and NRCS payments based on income; GAO recommends simplifying payment requirements Published on: Aug 30, 2013 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print According to a Government Accountability Office audit released this week, two USDA agencies responsible for administering a majority of farm payments may have paid out to ineligible individuals. The payments, divvied out by the Farm Service Agency and Natural Resources Conservation Service, were potentially ineligible because recipients exceeded qualifying income limits. The audit is an extension of a previous audit completed in 2008 that recommended improved oversight on the part of FSA and NRCS to ensure payments were not going to ineligible individuals. Currently, individuals are ineligible to receive payments under some farm programs if his or her average adjusted gross income exceeds $500,000. For some programs, the cap is higher at $750,000. Additionally, conservation payments are generally only offered if AGI is under $1 million.Report shows potentially erroneous FSA and NRCS payments based on income; GAO recommends simplifying payment requirements The latest review was completed due to renewed interest in farm payments as a result of federal budget questions and the cost of federal farm programs, GAO said. Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., ordered the study. In addition to meeting income requirements, state agency offices must also collect participants' tax returns or a signed statement from an attorney or accountant to verify a payee's income. For the FSA, consent forms allowing the Internal Revenue Service to share some information with the agency are also required. However, GAO says investigators found some participant files had incomplete or inaccurate information that did not meet agency guidance or contained errors. For example, GAO found errors in 19 of the 22 tax return files it reviewed from FSA offices in two states. One of the errors led to a potentially improper payment of $40,000. Some required attorney or accountant statements also contained inaccuracies or miscalculations. In total, GAO reviewed 115 tax return files and 163 files with accountant/attorney income records from 18 state FSA offices selected as a representative sample. While there were errors, GAO points out that the number of errors when compared to the number of program participants, taking 2010 for example, was less than 1%. The GAO says errors identified will soon be corrected as FSA and NRCS are responsible for recovering any improper payments. In May, 2012, FSA began the process of recovering about $143 million in overpayments made in 2009 and 2010. NRCS is expected to begin collecting overpayments by September, 2013. Room for improvement As the latest report represented an update from a previous audit, the GAO says it's just as important now to make previous recommendations are being taken into consideration and accuracy is advancing. "As nationwide fiscal pressures continue, and farm incomes remain high, it is crucial to ensure that limited taxpayer dollars are spent to support only eligible farm and conservation program participants," GAO concluded.

Under Scrutiny
While Boeing's 787 Dreamliner remains grounded by the Federal Aviation Administration, investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board continue to dig into the question of why batteries onboard the new airliner overheated in two separate incidents. So far there are no definitive answers, NTSB Chairman Deborah Hersman told reporters yesterday [a PDF of her presentation is here]. And, she said, "This is not something that we are expecting will be solved overnight." Boeing said in a statement, "The company has formed teams consisting of hundreds of engineering and technical experts who are working around the clock with the sole focus of resolving the issue and returning the 787 fleet to flight status." Pictured: NTSB Materials Engineer Matt Fox scrutinizes the JAL Boeing 787 battery that caught fire in Boston.

June 17, 2011 at 3:34 AM ET
The average college student is stuck with about $3,200 in credit card debt while in school, a burden which can be heavier than a backpack full of science texts. So what's the best way for parents to keep kids' debt down before they reach age 21? The advice runs the spectrum from "just say no" to "get them a card as young as possible," and everywhere in between.
But there's little disagreement about this: Parents need to talk more to their kids about money, and about credit. A new study published in April by the Junior Achievement Foundation found that 57 percent of 12- to 17-year-olds said their parents had never discussed money management with them. That's a recipe for disaster.
I hope this story will help eat into that terrible number. When do you think kids should get a credit card? Before you have your say, here's what some experts think.
Ongoing series: Red Tape Parenting Debates
Financial guru Dave Ramsey offers one popular view: Credit cards are the root of all financial evil, and it's a terrible idea to give them to kids.
"By giving a teenager a credit card, the parent — the one with supposed credibility — introduces a financially harmful substance and endorses its use, which is dumb but unfortunately very normal in today's families," Ramsey writes. "Parents must instead teach the teenager to just say NO."
Plenty of personal finance experts disagree, however.
"I view credit card usage as any other young adult's rite of passage, like driving," said John Ulzheimer, president of consumer education at SmartCredit.com. "We all know eventually young people are going to use credit cards so instead of shying away from the issue I suggest hitting it head on. I think rather than waiting for your kid to get a card on their own, with little to no teaching on how to manage it, parents should consider giving them a card at 18, with strict usage rules and consequences for abuse. It's a lot more painless when your parents take corrective action than it is when a credit card issuer does the same."
Bill Hardekopf, who runs credit advice site LowCards.com, made sure all three of his children had credit cards before their senior year of high school.
"That way, we could sit down and talk to them about the ins and outs of the credit card industry … how the APR works, why paying by the due date is critical, how using a card correctly can help you build your credit score and how that can be beneficial down the road ... how you can use a credit card without paying any interest," he said. "In short, we wanted to observe them and train them on credit cards for a year while they were under our roof."
The argument against giving teenagers credit cards is obvious: If they don't have cards, they can't run up credit card debt. Today's college graduates are saddled with devastating debt -- an average of $23,000 in student debt along with an average of $4,200 in credit card debt by the time they graduate.
Until recently, it was hard to keep cards out of college kids' hands, as many school allowed banks onto campus, where they would pitch young students hard on the benefits of plastic. The pitch usually included free pizza or some other enticing freebie.
But Congress heard the arguments against credit cards for kids during the financial reform debate, and now bans cards for those under 21 unless they prove a source of income or get an adult co-signer.
Ulzheimer thinks parents should seriously think about doing so, calling it a "credit card with training wheels." Putting off the inevitable -- nearly all kids will grow up to be adults with credit cards -- will only makes things worse, he believes.
See previous story in this series, Should 10-year-olds use Facebook?
"Some people believe it's best to teach someone how to properly use something that they'll inevitably use rather than vilify it and force avoidance, which simply doesn't work," he said.
Many will find keeping their kids plastic-free is nearly impossible in the Internet age, where teen-agers increasing need credit, debit or gift cards to purchase clothes and music online.
Liz Weston, author of "The 10 Commandments of Money," gave a more measured response, saying, "As with all things parental, it depends on the kid." But she thought it was important for parents to let their children start using a credit card while they still live at home, so parents can talk about all the important stuff: "How carrying a balance is idiotic, how much interest charges set you back, what a credit score is and how quickly you can trash it, that kind of stuff."
Weston also favored a co-signed card, which gives parents control over how it's used and can be withdrawn at any time.
One thing all these experts agreed on: so-called "stored value" cards aimed at teenagers are a bad idea. Products like VisaBuxx merely teach a kid the bad habit of swiping plastic to buy things without the corresponding pain of paying monthly bills. And these cards tend to have oppressive fees. The fee schedule for Wachovia's version of VisaBuxx, for example, (you'll have to click three times to get to the fees declaration) includes a 14-point service charge area describing $2 fees for each deposit onto the card, a $5 reissue fee every time the card expires, a $2 monthly inactivity fee and more. The card is marketed to kids 13 and older.
The only thing stored value cards accomplish is putting a hard stop on kids spending when the account runs out, something that parents should be able to enforce with a co-signed debit card.
"Prepaid debit cards stink," Weston said. "If they teach anything, it's how to get fleeced."
Hardekopf thinks the credit card discussion is part of a larger discussion that families need to have to help their kids become responsible adults.
"I think we do a great job training our kids," he said. "We potty train them. We teach them how to ride a bike, to drive a car. But we do a bad job as parents training them how to handle money. And when you look at society, we don't do a good job of talking about sex and money, two of biggest problems we all face."
What do you think is the right age to give a kid a credit card?

There's no denying it, the holiday crush is upon us.
There's the shopping to do, the cards to mail, the decorations to put up, the cooking, the crowds, the in-laws. It can be a lot. For some people, that's reason enough to pack their bags and hit the road come December. Others simply enjoy experiencing the festivities in a far-flung locale.
For those of you who would rather stuff a suitcase than another turkey this year, here are a handful of festive hotels that go all out for the season, ensuring that you not only don't miss being at home for the holidays but that you relish having someone else do all the work.
Grove Park Inn, Asheville, N.C.
The mountain setting and lodge-like design of this historic inn, which will celebrate its 100th birthday next year, will have you in a holiday mood even before you learn about all of its myriad celebrations, from the caroling choirs to the time-honored yule log ceremony in the Great Hall. The event for which the hotel is best known is the National Gingerbread House Competition, which it has hosted for the past two decades. Competitors come from near and far to whip up confections you just have to see to believe.
The Plaza, New York City
Who wouldn't love to spend Christmas in New York City at a quintessential Big Apple hotel? Little Kevin McCallister did just that in the popular holiday flick "Home Alone 2," when he checked into this grande dame of New York stays, which is even more spectacular when it's decked out in all its seasonal finery.
Of course, not all of us can simply put the bill on our father's credit card as Kevin did, but The Plaza is worth a visit even if you can't afford to stay, be it to check out the decorating of its historic halls or to enjoy a decadent holiday dessert in the Palm Court restaurant. Plus from here, it's mere steps to the elaborate window displays of the shops along Fifth Avenue or a horse-drawn carriage ride through Central Park.
Madrona Manor, Healdsburg, Calif.
The festivities at this 18-room Victorian manse in scenic Sonoma Valley wine country center around the holiday table. Every December for more than 20 years, its fine-dining restaurant has presented a series of Dickens Dinners (named for the author of the classic "A Christmas Carol"), in which singers in period costume serenade diners as they enjoy a five-course meal consisting of nostalgic dishes such as roast goose, beef Wellington and Christmas pudding, all lovingly prepared by Michelin-starred chef Jesse Mallgren.
Fairmont Scottsdale Princess, Scottsdale, Ariz.
Christmas at the Princess, as this five-diamond desert property's annual festival is called, features everything from an ice skating rink (complete with exhibitions from national ice skating champs) to children's ornament- and dreidel-making classes to train rides to view the more than half a million holiday lights illuminating the vast grounds. There are also fireside chats with Santa, a nightly menorah lighting, marshmallow roasts and more.
Big Cedar Lodge, Ridgedale, Mo.
This rustic retreat, 10 miles south of Branson in the wilds of the Ozark Mountains, is the perfect site for a homey holiday with all the trimmings, such as a wagon ride through the countryside ending with s'mores and hot chocolate served around a roaring bonfire.
Better yet, you can arrange for Santa's elves to visit your room, deliver the kids a stocking full of goodies and read them a bedtime story. Santa himself can make a visit on Christmas morning. They even throw Ol' St. Nick a farewell party before he heads back to the North Pole, and you don't even have to get out of your pajamas to attend. Rooms from $149.
Gaylord National Resort, National Harbor, Md.
Fancy a trip to the nation's capital this yuletide? Then consider a stay at this D.C.-area megaresort.
It's a favorite for meetings and conventions, so it's plenty big enough for you and all of your friends and family. Big, too, is its annual Christmas on the Potomac event, complete with multihued ice sculptures you can actually slide down, nightly indoor snowfalls, a 60-foot-high glass tree, brunches and photos with Santa, and some 2 million twinkling lights.
The theme of this year's extravaganza is Shrek the Halls, with the popular DreamWorks characters being featured in everything from Shrek-shaped waffles to meet and greets with Puss in Boots.
Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island, Amelia Island, Fla.

No doubt, the Miami Heat's current 27-game win streak is impressive.
But the team still has a few games to go to top the 1971-1972 Los Angeles Lakers' run of 33 straight consecutive victories. And the Heat would need a few lifetimes to surpass Jahangir Khan.
Khan might not be a household name in NBA circles, but in Pakistan and the world of squash he's huge. Forget LeBron James. When it comes to impressive winning streaks, Khan is king by virtue of his taking 555 straight matches between 1981 and 1986.
The squash star's momentous mark is proof that there are record streaks everywhere. That includes in sports, yes, but also politics, business and more.
Here's a short list of 10 long-term milestones that might surprise you:
1. The heat is on, and on, and on
Death Valley, Calif., has that name for a reason. On July 10, 1913, the thermostat in a community called Furnace Creek topped out at 134 degrees Fahrenheit -- making it the hottest day ever recorded, anywhere. But the heat in this desert area is not only intense, it also endures.
Take summer 2001, when the high temperature met or exceeded 100 degrees for 154 consecutive days, according to the Death Valley National Park website. For those keeping score at home, that means every day for more than five months.
Depends on your heat-warped perspective if you think summer 1996 was worse. In that time, the high temps soared to or past 110 degrees for 105 straight days -- and exceeded 120 degrees for 40 consecutive days.
2. A really long shot on the court
If the Heat cruise past the Lakers, they'll have made NBA history. But not necessarily basketball history.
In the late 1960s and 1970s, the pinnacle of perfection in the sport was coach John Wooden's UCLA men's basketball team. Amid a run of 11 straight NCAA titles, the Bruins reeled off 88 straight wins between 1971 and 1974.
That mark stood until late 2010, when the University of Connecticut's women's hoops program under coach Geno Auriemma notched 90 straight wins.
To put it in perspective for Miami, they'd need to roughly triple their amount of victories to top that.
3. 'One Sweet' 16 weeks
Since the 1950s, the Billboard Hot 100 chart has been home to the biggest names in the music biz: Elvis Presley. Michael Jackson. The Beatles.
So, who was the biggest of them all, when it came to consecutive weeks as the No. 1 song?
None other than Boyz II Men and Mariah Carey, together singing "One Sweet Day." The song held the Hot 100's top spot for 16 weeks, beating out Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" and Boyz II Men's "I'll Make Love To You" by two weeks. "Macarena" and Elton John's "Candle in the Wind," among others, later made a run at the top honor only to fall short.
For a single, topping the charts for basically four months is a stellar feat.
Still, it's one that falls well short of Billboard's most consecutive weeks for a chart-topping album. That record belongs to the "West Side Story" soundtrack, which was first on the Billboard 200 for 54 weeks in 1962 and 1963, an accomplishment not even Jackson's "Thriller" could match.
4. Up for 21 years running, down under
For the past few years, a recession has gripped much of the world. In the early 2000s, the United States and some other economies dipped in the months and years after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Before that, the tech bubble burst.
Basically, there's been a roller-coaster of bad and good news. Except in Australia, where it's been all good.
According to the Australian Treasurer Wayne Swan, Australia has notched 21 straight years of annual economic growth. Among other advanced economies, the next closest competitor, Israel, isn't even halfway there.
In other words, no developed country comes close.

CTFU is short for "cracking the fuck up" (or, if Urban Dictionary is to be trusted, "chut the fuck up" and "chill the fuck up" (wait, seriously?)). At the Linguistic society of America meeting earlier this year, Jacob Eisenstein, Brendan O'Connor, Noah A. Smith, and Eric P. Xing presented some data [PDF] showing that CTFU was limited in geographic scope to a region between Detroit and Philadelphia.
This is a strange distribution, since it crosses a number of traditional dialect boundaries, and yet it seems to have some legs. More than a year after the set of tweets they used in their analysis, we see CTFU keeping largely to the same region, perhaps having spread a bit into the DC area. Altanta also seems to use it, but otherwise its main base of usage is from Cleveland to the NYC/DC corridor, with only a few people using it elsewhere.

5.2 Ways of organising yourself How do you organise yourself? Make a note of how you organise your: emails internet bookmarks or favorites computer files your h 4.2 P is for Presentation By presentation, we mean, the way in which the information is communicated. You might want to ask yourself: Is the language clear and easy to understand? Is the information clearly laid out so that it is easy to read? Are the fonts large enough and clear? Are the colours effective? (e.g. white or yellow on black can be difficult to read) If there are graphics or photos, do they help 3.9 Choosing the right tool for the job Before searching it is always a good idea to check what the source you have chosen covers to make sure it will unearth information that matches your search need (you will notice that all the resources we've covered in this guide have short descriptions to enable you to decide which to use). Some of the decision makers, depending on the context of your search might be: Does it have full text? Does it cover the right subject? 3.4 Databases At a basic level, a database is a collection of information which can be searched. It is a way of storing, indexing, organising and retrieving information. You may have created one yourself to keep track of your references – or your friends' names and addresses. They are useful for finding articles on a topic, and can be used to search for many different types of information. You may find some of the following databases useful for your topic. They contain different types of informatio 1.6 Keeping up-to-date How familiar are you with the following different ways of keeping up to date with information; alerts, mailing lists, newsgroups, blogs, RSS, professional bodies and societies? 5 – Very familiar 4 – Familiar 3 – Fairly familiar 2 – Not very familiar 1 – Not familiar at all Introduction This unit will help you to identify and use information in business and management, whether for your work, study or personal purposes. Experiment with some of the key resources in this subject area, and learn about the skills which will enable you to plan searches for information, so you can find what you are looking for more easily. Discover the meaning of information quality, and learn how to evaluate the information you come across. You will also be introduced to the many different ways of 7 Designing evaluation So far in this unit we have considered information used in making a selection. What about information about consultants thereafter? Evaluating consultants' work was highlighted as one of the difficulties in this area, yet such information is important. You may need to evaluate a small initiative (perhaps a limited diagnosis, feedback and initial planning contract) with a view to deciding whether to work more extensively with the consultant. You may need performance measures to contribute to Learning outcomes After studying this unit you should be able to: appreciate the characteristics of consultancy when viewed as a service offered for sale; as client, identify suitable contexts for using consultants; as client, identify, gather information on, and evaluate the suitability of competing consultants. 1.6 Equity buybacks, de-listing and reversion to a 'private' company Once its shares have been issued, a company has the option to buy back shares. Buybacks will occur if the company believes that it is overcapitalised and cannot generate a sufficiently high return on capital through its operations. Under these circumstances it is effectively saying to the investor 'thanks but please now have some of your money back – you can probably make it work harder elsewhere'. A further reason for buybacks arises when a major capital restructuring is undertaken by 1.1 Definitions The need for corporate governance arises out of the divorce in modern corporations between the rights of shareholders and other suppliers of capital on the one hand, and the operational control, which is in the hands of professional managers, on the other. This can be described as the 'principal–agent' problem. Put simply, the question is: will the managers run the corporation exclusively for the long-term benefit of the shareholders, and what mechanisms can be put in place to ensure th Conclusion We hope this unit has set you thinking about how you and others make decisions. It has been a very brief and to some extent shallow introduction to some quite complex ideas. The reference list should give you some pointers to further resources which will help you explore this topic in greater depth. Before you move on take some time for a final activity. Activity 3 In Author(s): 6.1 Introduction An important aspect of decision making which crosses all three perspectives is making decisions about risks. Risk is all-pervasive in organisational life and many decisions require us to weigh up and choose between different kinds of risk. Thus any account of decision making would be incomplete without examining how our perceptions of risk affect our decisions. In this section we will examine risk from the three different perspectives we have identified: rational-economic, psychological and s 5.5.1 Coercive pressures
Coercive pressures come from the social sanctions that can be applied if we do not act in socially legitimate ways. The law is one source of coercive pressure, but so too is the knowledge that you will get promoted only if you act in ways which fit accepted ways of doing things in your organisation. 4.6 Post-decision evaluation For most normally functioning people, maintaining self-esteem is an important internal goal. This can cause us to filter out or discount information that might show us in an unfavourable light. This is what lies behind the fundamental attribution bias. This is the tendency to attribute good outcomes to our own actions and bad outcomes to factors outside our control. While such defences against loss of self-esteem can be helpful to the extent that they help us persist in the face of adv 1 Barriers to a strategic view Marketing communications is not always accepted as having strategic importance in organisations. This unit examines some of the reasons for this, before exploring some recent arguments in favour of a strategic role for marketing communications. One reason for seeing marketing communications as tactical rather than strategic is that much of its development and execution has been outsourced to marketing services agencies offering a range of specialisms (such as design, creative consultanc 1.2 The relationship between stakeholders and the organisation Public and voluntary sector organisations do not have the same shareholder obligations as those in the private sector. However, as the distinction between public and private sector organisations becomes blurred, there are concerns that the ethical role of public service organisations – defined as acting in the public interest through a public service ethos – is being undermined. As public service and non-profit organisations are increasingly expected to achieve targets and become more ' 3.2 CSR reporting We mentioned earlier three reasons for environmentally friendly behaviour, effectively deriving from personally held values, niche marketing or regulatory pressure. To a large extent the same holds true for ethical behaviour. Some organisations have a long tradition of good citizenship, ranging from the UK social housing of Bourneville or Port Sunlight, through to community involvement schemes from such as Xerox and IBM.

Consequently, a lot of research in this field has focused on finding the characteristics that set entrepreneurs and their firms apart from others. Elizabeth Chell (1985, 1999), a social psychologist, has examined numerous psychological trait-based approaches and concluded that, whilst psych Learning outcomes After studying this unit you should: understand the nature of entrepreneurship; understand the function of the entrepreneur in the successful, commercial application of innovations; confirm your entrepreneurial business idea; identify personal attributes that enable best use of entrepreneurial opportunities; explore entrepreneurial leadership and management style; identify the requirements for building an

Farm stands should open by mid-June
MANCHESTER — Locally run farm stands are expected to open later this month in Manchester and Derry, offering locally grown vegetables and produce to consumers.
The Manchester farm stands will be at the Elmwood Gardens housing project on Tuesdays from 4 to 7 p.m. and at Southern New Hampshire Services, 40 Pine St., on Fridays from 4 to 7 p.m.
A farm stand is also expected to open at Rockingham Community Action, 9 Crystal Ave., Derry.
Fresh Start Farms hopes to have the farm stands open by the second week of June. It is working through licensing requirements with the city of Manchester, said Mukhtar Idhow, executive director of the Manchester-based Organization for Refugee and Immigrant Success.
His organization oversees the cultivation of 7 acres of farmland in Dunbarton, thanks to a federal grant that helps to connect refugees and immigrants to local agriculture.
The grant also provides for marketing efforts such as the farm stands.
As an introductory offer, Fresh Start Farms is offering $5 worth for produce for $3 in food stamps.

SOURCE Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI)
TROY, N.Y., Oct. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "Mastering the Pivot" is the theme of the inaugural Business Opportunities to Success Summit (BOSS), which will be held Thursday, December 5, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn in Troy, New York. The event is open to entrepreneurs, executives, researchers, students, business professionals, and investors.
The theme recognizes that innovators and entrepreneurs routinely encounter a difficult question along the path of entrepreneurship: If the business climate is shifting, do I stay the planned course, or pivot to achieve success? To help answer this critical question, more than 75 Capital Region-based business and academic leaders will participate in BOSS. Each will spend five minutes sharing concise, candid insights on what experience has taught them.
"For more than 180 years, Rensselaer has been at the forefront of originality in teaching and learning. Our focus on 'entrepreneurship across the curriculum' is a reflection of this," said Rensselaer President Shirley Ann Jackson. "Today, education in entrepreneurship continues to thrive across all five Rensselaer schools. Our faculty, students, and staff actively embrace a culture of discovery, innovation, and collaboration. They invent, design, build, and start new companies in the communities that surround us. The Business Opportunities to Success Summit will enable Rensselaer to reaffirm our commitment to innovation and technological entrepreneurship in the region, and highlight the productive partnerships that we have developed with academic institutions, industry, government, and other entities that promote entrepreneurship."
"Whenever individuals or groups endeavor to solve a problem, create something new, change their lives, or change the world in any meaningful way, they will encounter the need to 'pivot,' that may require them to change course," said James Spencer, director of the Rensselaer Technology Park and the Emerging Ventures Ecosystem incubation program. "Whether as a technological entrepreneur, researcher, small shop owner, student, business professional, or whatever - pivoting is the core element of progress and achievement that one has to go through in order to transform a promising concept into a profitable company."
"I believe this one-of-a-kind conference will benefit every attendee, from the inventor with an idea, to the entrepreneur just starting a company, to the CEO leading a growing company," said Thomas D'Ambra, president and chief executive officer at Albany Molecular Research Inc. "We need more opportunities like this to learn from one another and possibly create linkages to work together.
Additional speakers include: Rick Whitney, CEO M+W Group; Steve Ellis, founder and CEO of Who Say; Michael Hickey, former president of MapInfo; Etransmedia co-founders Vikram Agrawal, M.S. '02, president and CEO, and Vikash Agrawal, M.S. '98, chairman; Tobi Saulnier '84, CEO of 1st Playable; Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug Power; Sinclair Schuller '04, CEO and co-founder of Apprenda; and Amy Johnson, president of Capstone Inc.
BOSS breaks the mold of traditional conferences, seminars, and networking events by combining elements of all three in a fast-paced format that maximizes the exposure of participants and attendees to potential customers, strategic partners, service providers, mentors, and collaborators. Participants will have access to sage wisdom from many of the region's most successful entrepreneurs, executives, and business professionals. BOSS has been designed to increase the probability that each attendee will leave with at least one memorable business transforming, actionable idea.
"In my 20-year experience as a serial entrepreneur, I've learned that new venture incubation is a process of discovery - not a place - but it is still important to bring all the key players together in an open forum where aspiring entrepreneurs, researchers, students, and professionals can share experiences and information and then engage," Spencer said. "I believe that by discussing real-world challenges and solutions, the presenters will reveal how they 'pivoted' to prosperity through seven key stages that every successful startup and eventual business works through, whether they realize it or not."
The topics and format of the event are based upon a user-friendly "Innovation and Commercialization Framework," providing participants with a roadmap designed to move an entrepreneur or innovator from idea conception to startup and eventual business growth. The road map will serve as a visual how-to guide to help individuals to determine critical activities typical of the different stages of growth and where to access key resources a business needs at various stages along the path to prosperity.
Registration Information -- Mastering the Pivot: Business Opportunities to Success Summit
Registration is required to attend. The early registration deadline is Nov. 1. The fee for the general public is $90 and $30 for students. After Nov. 1, the fee for the general public is $100 and $35 for students. Sponsorship opportunities are also available. For more information, visit: http://boss518.com or call (518) 720-8324.

Faces of War
Amid the horrors of World War I, a corps of artists brought hope to soldiers disfigured in the trenches
- By Caroline Alexander
- Smithsonian magazine, February 2007, Subscribe
Wounded tommies facetiously called it "The Tin Noses Shop." Located within the 3rd London General Hospital, its proper name was the "Masks for Facial Disfigurement Department"; either way, it represented one of the many acts of desperate improvisation borne of the Great War, which had overwhelmed all conventional strategies for dealing with trauma to body, mind and soul. On every front—political, economic, technological, social, spiritual—World War I was changing Europe forever, while claiming the lives of 8 million of her fighting men and wounding 21 million more.
The large-caliber guns of artillery warfare with their power to atomize bodies into unrecoverable fragments and the mangling, deadly fallout of shrapnel had made clear, at the war's outset, that mankind's military technology wildly outpaced its medical: "Every fracture in this war is a huge open wound," one American doctor reported, "with a not merely broken but shattered bone at the bottom of it." The very nature of trench warfare, moreover, proved diabolically conducive to facial injuries: "[T]he...soldiers failed to understand the menace of the machine gun," recalled Dr. Fred Albee, an American surgeon working in France. "They seemed to think they could pop their heads up over a trench and move quickly enough to dodge the hail of bullets."
Writing in the 1950s, Sir Harold Gillies, a pioneer in the art of facial reconstruction and modern plastic surgery, recalled his war service: "Unlike the student of today, who is weaned on small scar excisions and graduates to harelips, we were suddenly asked to produce half a face." A New Zealander by birth, Gillies was 32 and working as a surgeon in London when the war began, but he left shortly afterward to serve in field ambulances in Belgium and France. In Paris, the opportunity to observe a celebrated facial surgeon at work, together with the field experience that had revealed the shocking physical toll of this new war, led to his determination to specialize in facial reconstruction. Plastic surgery, which aims to restore both function and form to deformities, was, at the war's outset, crudely practiced, with little real attention given to aesthetics. Gillies, working with artists who created likenesses and sculptures of what the men had looked like before their injuries, strove to restore, as much as possible, a mutilated man's original face. Kathleen Scott, a noted sculptress and the widow of Capt. Robert Falcon Scott of Antarctica fame, volunteered to help Gillies, declaring with characteristic aplomb that the "men without noses are very beautiful, like antique marbles."
While pioneering work in skin grafting had been done in Germany and the Soviet Union, it was Gillies who refined and then mass-produced critical techniques, many of which are still important to modern plastic surgery: on a single day in early July 1916, following the first engagement of the Battle of the Somme—a day for which the London Times casualty list covered not columns, but pages—Gillies and his colleagues were sent some 2,000 patients. The clinically honest before-and-after photographs published by Gillies shortly after the war in his landmark Plastic Surgery of the Face reveal how remarkably—at times almost unimaginably—successful he and his team could be; but the gallery of seamed and shattered faces, with their brave patchwork of missing parts, also demonstrates the surgeons' limitations. It was for those soldiers—too disfigured to qualify for before-and-after documentation—that the Masks for Facial Disfigurement Department had been established.
"My work begins where the work of the surgeon is completed," said Francis Derwent Wood, the program's founder. Born in England's Lake District in 1871, of an American father and British mother, Wood had been educated in Switzerland and Germany, as well as England. Following his family's return to England, he trained at various art institutes, cultivating a talent for sculpture he had exhibited as a youth. Too old for active duty when war broke out, he had enlisted, at age 44, as a private in the Royal Army Medical Corps. Upon being assigned as an orderly to the 3rd London General Hospital, he at first performed the usual "errand-boy-housewife" chores. Eventually, however, he took upon himself the task of devising sophisticated splints for patients, and the realization that his abilities as an artist could be medically useful inspired him to construct masks for the irreparably facially disfigured. His new metallic masks, lightweight and more permanent than the rubber prosthetics previously issued, were custom designed to bear the prewar portrait of each wearer. Within the surgical and convalescent wards, it was grimly accepted that facial disfigurement was the most traumatic of the multitude of horrific damages the war inflicted. "Always look a man straight in the face," one resolute nun told her nurses. "Remember he's watching your face to see how you're going to react."
Wood established his mask-making unit in March 1916, and by June 1917, his work had warranted an article in The Lancet, the British medical journal. "I endeavour by means of the skill I happen to possess as a sculptor to make a man's face as near as possible to what it looked like before he was wounded," Wood wrote. "My cases are generally extreme cases that plastic surgery has, perforce, had to abandon; but, as in plastic surgery, the psychological effect is the same. The patient acquires his old self-respect, self assurance, self-reliance,...takes once more to a pride in his personal appearance. His presence is no longer a source of melancholy to himself nor of sadness to his relatives and friends."
Toward the end of 1917, Wood's work was brought to the attention of a Boston-based American sculptor, inevitably described in articles about her as a "socialite." Born in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, Anna Coleman Watts had been educated in Paris and Rome, where she began her sculptural studies. In 1905, at the age of 26, she had married Maynard Ladd, a physician in Boston, and it was here that she continued her work. Her sculptural subjects were mostly decorative fountains—nymphs abounding, sprites dancing—as well as portrait busts that, by today's tastes, appear characterless and bland: vaguely generic portraits of vaguely generic faces. The possibility of furthering the work by making masks for wounded soldiers in France might not have been broached to Ladd but for the fact that her husband had been appointed to direct the Children's Bureau of the American Red Cross in Toul and serve as its medical adviser in the dangerous French advance zones.
In late 1917, after consultation with Wood, now promoted to captain, Ladd opened the Studio for Portrait Masks in Paris, administered by the American Red Cross. "Mrs. Ladd is a little hard to handle as is so often the case with people of great talent," one colleague tactfully cautioned, but she seems to have run the studio with efficiency and verve. Situated in the city's Latin Quarter, it was described by an American visitor as "a large bright studio" on upper floors, reached by way of an "attractive courtyard overgrown with ivy and peopled with statues." Ladd and her four assistants had made a determined effort to create a cheery, welcoming space for her patients; the rooms were filled with flowers, the walls hung with "posters, French and American flags" and rows of plaster casts of masks in progress.
The journey that led a soldier from the field or trench to Wood's department, or Ladd's studio, was lengthy, disjointed and full of dread. For some, it began with a crash: "It sounded to me like some one had dropped a glass bottle into a porcelain bathtub," an American soldier recalled of the day in June 1918 on which a German bullet smashed into his skull in the Bois de Belleau. "A barrel of whitewash tipped over and it seemed that everything in the world turned white."
Stage by stage, from the mud of the trenches or field to first-aid station; to overstrained field hospital; to evacuation, whether to Paris, or, by way of a lurching passage across the Channel, to England, the wounded men were carried, jolted, shuffled and left unattended in long drafty corridors before coming to rest under the care of surgeons. Multiple operations inevitably followed. "He lay with his profile to me," wrote Enid Bagnold, a volunteer nurse (and later the author of National Velvet), of a badly wounded patient. "Only he has no profile, as we know a man's. Like an ape, he has only his bumpy forehead and his protruding lips—the nose, the left eye, gone."

It wasn't just the war wounded soldiers that were reconstructed by Gillies and McIndoe, my mum was 6 yrs old when she fell in the fire. She spent six years being operated on at Park Prewett Hospital in the 1940's. These surgeons helped so many civilians who were burned in the war era and this should not be forgotten. Without this radical flap surgery many lives would have been destroyed, mum went on to be a nurse herself for 42 years having been inspired by the environment she grew up in. She wore her disfigurement with pride knowing that this was pioneering surgery that was heart of skin grafting and plastic surgery today.

A recent novel, (Toby's Room, by Pat Barker) uses the hospital, artists, patients (Toby) WW1 etc. as background. In an incident in the book a patient on an outing is wearing a mask of the poet, Rupert Brooke, the most handsome man in England. Sub.Lt.

Hello, I am especially interested in Thomas Bess King's offer of letters - I am writing a book of historical fiction, set during 1914-1922 with a major focus on how the War impacted ordinary people's lives. Particularly my Aunt, whose 5 brothers served during WWOne. All of the comments here have been helpful- and inspiring. Thanks to all for your scholarship and dedication to this work.
Posted by Kathleen Walsh RN on May 1,2012 | 01:19 AM
I am very interested to read that Kerry Neale's dissertation and particularly fascinated in any information about the post war lives of some of the men who wore these masks. I am currently researching a book on the subject and would welcome hearing any information on this specific aspect of the facially wounded soldiers.
I would welcome the chance to be in touch with Kerry.

Yes, I found a few documents about this subject because I'm working about the relationship between art and medicine in contemporary art.
I can give you the main article :
Claudine Mitchell, "Facing horror : women's work, sculptural practice and the Great War" in Work in the Image II: Work in Modern Times - Visual Mediations and Social Processes, Ashgate, Ed. Valerie Mainz et Griselda Pollack, 2000, pp 33-55.
You can find it in a french catalogue too : Anne Rivière (dir.), Jane Poupelet 1874-1932 : la Beauté dans la simplicité, Roubaix, La Piscine-musée d'art et d'industrie André Diligent du 15 octobre au 15 janvier 2006]. Paris : Gallimard, 2005.
I will make a presentation on the actual collaborations between sculptors and surgeons for soldiers with facial injuries in october 2011 in Bordeaux.

This was a wonderful article. I am very interested in WWI in terms of what happened to the soldiers - shell shock. I recently read a book that talked about an a Dr who photographed soldiers with facial injuries and the pictures were not shown for many yrs in England does anyone know his name? I would love to read Kerry Neale's dissertaion. thx for this information
Posted by Pam Henning on January 12,2011 | 12:07 PM
I find this fascinating and have heard lectures on the subject before. This type of work has carried forward into the field of modern day anaplastology.
There are many skilled practitioners worldwide practicing the art and science of facial and somatic prosthetic restoration for patients in need. More info. is available at the International Anaplastology Association's web site:
