The Lawyer's Guide to Marketing Your Practice
The Lawyer's Guide to Marketing Your Practice
More than just a how-to book, the guide provides lawyers with a map for business development and marketing
Reviewed by LaVonne Lawson, member, Law Practice Management Section Executive Committee. Lawson specializes in handling tax and related business matters. She can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. The opinions expressed are her own.
The Lawyer's Guide to Marketing Your Practice is a must-read for any lawyer who wants to build or maintain a law practice. The guide addresses a number of diverse questions: How do I get more clients? How do I raise my public image? How do I plan for the future? A compilation of articles composed by consultants and coaches, this book can help professionals at any point in their careers, whether read from cover to cover, sporadically, or in parts.
The guide breaks down marketing into four sections: developing your approach, enhancing your image, implementing marketing strategies, and maintaining your program.
Developing Your Approach
Many lawyers, still uncomfortable with the notion that law practice marketing is an indispensable activity, can find help in identifying and overcoming many of the barriers to business development. This section emphasizes that without a well-crafted strategic marketing plan, time spent marketing will almost always be unfocused, ineffective, or even wasted. A strategic marketing plan should go beyond increasing the number and satisfaction of high-quality clients; it should attempt to identify important markets and opportunities that will emerge in the coming years. A well-thought-out plan recognizes that clients are not just customers but also allies and important resources.
In addition to providing a strategic marketing plan, this section introduces a results-oriented client feedback program that, when properly implemented, can enhance the bottom line.
Enhancing Your Image
This section frankly discusses the roles that public relations efforts and visual images play in the life of lawyers. "PR" is not just for large law firms anymore, and a press release is now just one piece in a well-stocked public relations arsenal.
Many activities that raise a firm or practitioner's profile, which can be tailored to fit specific needs, include publicity of deals and cases, first- and third-party commentary, reporter meetings, and publishing opportunities. However, blindly implementing these activities isn't a guarantee of success. Conducted inconsistently or outside of a marketing plan framework, these efforts will deliver mixed results at best. This book provides such frameworks and delivers nuts-and-bolts tips on dealing with public relations issues such as talking with reporters or protecting clients in a crisis.
A firm's visual image should not be overlooked. Enhancing a firm's visual image in its communications can make marketing easier and more effective. This section reviews the various marketing publications -- newsletters, firm brochures, announcements -- and their roles in the firm's image, describing what works and why.
Implementing Marketing Strategies
After placing activities within a strategic plan, the book then describes how to effectively use various tools. For example, writing is a powerful tool for creating public awareness, and this section covers works as broad as a series of books or as narrow as a thank-you note. It addresses basic considerations about writing -- what to write, how to write it, how to choose a publication, and how to convince the editor -- and offers ideas on leveraging the written piece.
Although writing is important, most marketing efforts also depend upon the spoken word, which the book divides into two types: sales dialogue and public speaking. This section identifies where sales dialogues occur and how to leverage them, including creating good opportunities for follow-up. It also identifies public speaking as a prime marketing tool; while most consider it an opportunity to educate others, public speaking also can communicate to others that you are the correct person to handle their needs.
Technology has a role to play, too. Chapters specifically focus on the increasingly vital roles that Internet marketing and blogs (Web logs) play in the marketing strategy.
Maintaining Your Program
Creating a strategic marketing plan and implementing it is just the beginning. Marketing programs must be maintained over time to produce maximum results. The best-sounding and most ambitious plan is of little value if a firm's lawyers cannot consistently maintain their efforts. This section advocates marketing training as a component of every firm's business development or strategic plan.
Finally, there is no question that ethical questions arise in client development, and this section addresses these aspects. More than just a how-to book, The Lawyer's Guide to Marketing Your Practice is a business development and marketing map. An accompanying CD-ROM contains checklists, plans, and templates, making navigation of the route that much easier.

Lange, Dr. Bastian (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The paper aims at discussing the issue of governance in respect to creative scenes, a central structural element of the creative economy, exemplifying the case of Berlin. Berlin has a fast growing creative industry that has become the object of the city's development policies and place marketing. The core question is: What are the spatial-organizational driving forces of creativity in Berlin - can they be steered by public administration? I am using Berlin as a reference case to articulate the gap between 'state-led planning' on the one hand and the organisational practices of self-governed creative scenes on the other. I attempt to demonstrate why a perspective change in terms of re-scaling is necessary, in order to respond to the particular practices of emerging industries and their societal form "scenes". By re-scaling I mean the conceptualization of governance in different non-hierarchical organisational as well as spatial scales, based on the observation that scenes are considered to be a central element of the functionality of creative industries.

Moeran, Brian (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper starts from the premise that all forms of socio-economic behaviour are motivated and underpinned by values of one kind or another. The study of culture is thus a study of the values that constitute that culture. In their plural form, values constitute our socio-cultural beliefs and moral principles. However, in its singular form, value relates to economic utility, price and worth. The aim of this working paper is to examine the relation between economic and cultural values which, it is argued, constitute a field of values that are (re)produced, negotiated and transacted in the context of creative products. This field consists of technical, affective, social, situational, appreciative and functional values. Together these create a qualitative symbolic exchange value which is often then exchanged for a quantitative economic value. The paper outlines how each of these values works and interacts with other values in the context of creative industries. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7971

A Reflection on Historical Sociology and IRLeander, Anna (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In 2004 I published an argument to the effect that "taking Tilly seriously" could help International Relations (IR) scholars understand some of the processes and mechanisms involved in state-building (Leander, 2004: the chapter is pasted in at the end of this statement). This short statement is a reflection on why, if I were to write that piece today, it would be written differently. I would still argue that we should all engage the Historical Sociology of State-Building (HSS) in a serious way (go beyond the folklore as I termed it in 2004) but my inclination today would be to be far more explicit about to the pitfalls of not going beyond the folklore as well as about the importance of studies of practices (in anthropology, ethnography, geography, regional/area studies or even IR, sic!) in signposting these pitfalls. This change in tone has less to do with any particular idea or argument in historical sociology, and even less with the work of any particular historical sociologist (seen the focus of this workshop Tilly will figure as the recurring reference point) than it does with the way the HSS is read, feeds into and shapes IR discussions (section 1). The way HSS has been integrated into IR has led scholars deeper into the pitfalls which hamper their understanding of contemporary state-building. More specifically it has perpetuated a misconstrued understanding of the inside/outside, it has obscured the nature and role of the private/public, and that it has devalued contextually specific articulations of politics and governance (sections 2-4). This "misunderstanding" is not only a scholastic matter as it translates into policies that are ineffective, inadequate not to say positively harmful (section 5). As the statement concludes, the implication is that IR scholars who decide to walk the terrain chartered by HSS would do well to observe the warning signposts set up by observers of political practices around these pitfalls.

Leander, Anna (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The integration of private international security into Security Studies reflects the relatively recent nature of the market. The literature on the topic revolves around the basics of placing private international security on the agenda (1a); explaining and understanding the market (1b) and problematizing its relationship to central questions in international security (1c). The current trend in the field is to face the—still largely open—challenge of taking research further, both by completing, refining and updating current research efforts (2a) and by expanding and enriching the research agenda to more fully explore the politics of market development (2b). Paradoxically, as this entry concludes, this is leading scholars to abandon the focus on "privatization" and instead pushing them to formulate research agenda in new terms such as commercialization, commodification, governance or governmentality.

Leander, Anna (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This article begins by clarifying and defining field and habitus (1) anchoring these concepts in a tradition drawing on the work of Pierre Bourdieu, but also underlining the extent to which the concepts have been used beyond this tradition (2). The article then proceeds to discuss the use of field and habitus in international studies (3). It points out that field and habitus can be (and has long been) used for empirical studies linking the national, the international and the transnational. However, the concepts were imported into scholarly IR/IPE disciplines proper as part of the theoretical discussions surrounding the reflectivist turn. At present, field and habitus are often used to transcend the key divides (inside/outside and public/private) rather than to study relations across them. Finally, the article concludes on the avenues for further research using field and habitus in international studies, insisting on the scope for enhancing and clarifying the heuristic value of the concepts (4).

The Case of the CIA "Killing Program"Leander, Anna (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: "Risk" has become a major theme in the social sciences over the past two decades. It has been argued to reshape social and political life not only by placing new issues on the agenda but also by generating new "governmental rationalities". These debates have in various forms also began to influence international studies. It has already been shown that the introduction of risk has altered strategic rationality. An uncertain imagined future of Rumsfeldian "unknown unknowns" has become integral to military strategic thinking. In the process technologies used to wage war and the actors involved have also evolved. Continuing the discussion, this article moves on to look at the implications of these changes for legal and political boundaries in one specific area of international politics; it traces the link between the spread of risk rationality (or governance through risk) and the development of apolitical and unaccountable military markets. Risk rationality creates what I will tentatively term a preventive imperative that tends to spread across areas and is assisted in the process by the rapidly expanding ranks of risk professionals. The preventive imperative is key to the rapid growth of private military markets as well as to the difficulty of politicizing—in the sense of creating a critical public debate—about the market as opposed to about the a given scandal (e.g. Nisour Square incident) or firm (e.g. Blackwater). The difficulty of politicizing the market has strong implications for the (non-)working of accountability. It creates what I will dub an accountability paradox where the way accountability is pursued reinforces the impunity of markets and of specific market actors. The reason is that it pre-empts serious consideration of the public/private enmeshment which is the "blind spot" of present legal instruments and it positively reaffirms existing "regulation" in all its defectiveness. Neither security professionals nor lawyers are susceptible to resolve this paradox. Reference to the CIA "Killing Program" anchors and illustrates the argument. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7965

A Contested CommodityLeander, Anna (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper argues that security belongs to a specific category of commodities: "contested commodities" around which there is an ongoing and unsettled symbolic struggle over whether or not they can and should be though of as commodities (section 1). The contested nature of commodification has implications for how markets function; market practices tend to be defined and organized in ways that minimize their contentiousness and obfuscate their expansion. The paper looks at the implications of this argument for the conceptualization of the security. It focuses on the three central articulations of contestation: the discussion about whether the use of force can be left to the market, whether it can be so in the international realm and the discussion about whether or not markets trigger increased insecurity. It shows how this specific articulation of contestation has produced markets where the practice/definition of security is as public rather than private (section 2), as inside rather than outside (section 3) and as a responsible reaction to a threat rather than as something contributing to the constitution of threats (section 4). Conceptualizations of private security consequently have to be devised to capture these practical consequences of contested commodification; they need to capture the private in the public, the inside in the outside and the securitizing in the response to threats.

The Market for Force and the Right to have Protection RightsLeander, Anna (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Departing from an elaboration of the idea of a citizenship protection nexus (1), the argument developed below is that the introduction of a neo-liberal governance forms security is leading to far reaching (but largely unacknowledged). It is transforming the understanding of the rights to protection that come with citizenship, de facto transforming it from a general right tied to political citizenship to contracted right to be negotiated (2). At the same time, far from working to weakening the role of the state in security provision, the market is reinforcing it (3) and accentuating the military aspect of protection (4). The overall consequence is that the nexus tying citizenship to protection is increasingly shaped by the commercialized national and military concerns (promoted by public and private security professionals). As this paper concludes, attempts to frame and shape the citizenship-protection nexus in alternative ways—for example attempts to de-link citizenship from states and/or to de-militarize citizenship—are the main causalities of this re-ordering.

Leander, Anna (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This entry gives an overview of the debate about private security. It can not pretend to cover everything in equal detail. It is geared to highlight the parts of the discussion about commercial security practices that are of most immediate interest to New Security Studies. Very succinctly put, the entry shows the pertinence of the emerging research agenda where commercial security practices are part of a broader analysis of evolving insecurities, of (in)security spaces and of everyday practices, insisting on the scope for further developments with regard to these issues (section 2). The entry also suggests that the although the more conventional literature on the subject—mostly framed in terms of privatization—has made valuable contributions to the debates about commercial security, it has limited analytical clout for analyzing the politics of commercial security. Worse it sometimes obscures it (section 1). It is therefore not surprising that commercialization is currently tending to replace privatization as the vantage point from which analysis is taking place. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7963

Hybrid States and the Public-Private DistinctionLeander, Anna (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The chimerical state is not only a hybrid state. It is also a state of obscure powers. As the classical chimera, much of its strength comes precisely from the fact that it hard to see and hence to investigate and critique. The paper traces the origins of this difficulty to the role the public-private divide plays in hiding chimerical power. It does so with reference specifically to the security area.

Jeppesen, Soeren (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The international literature on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has focused on large rms, in the North, mostly applying normative, universal and positivist approaches. However, over the last 10-15 years increasing attention has been directed towards micro, small and medium-sized rms, SMEs. While the focus on CSR in SMEs mainly has been con ned to a Northern context, limited, though growing, focus has been on CSR in SMEs in a Southern or developing country context. The paper assesses the contributions on CSR and SMEs in Development. It does so by presenting three dominant and con icting perceptions of SMEs in the CSR literature (SMEs as problems vs. SMEs as innovators; SMEs as miniature versions of large rms vs. SMEs in their own right; SMEs responding to voluntary approaches vs. SMEs responding to state regulation). The paper then takes stock of what we know about CSR, SMEs and Development (concerning environmental issues; labour, safety & health; global supply chains; and nally CSR and SMEs in Clusters) and what we don't know. The paper nally argues in favour of a critical research based on a) focus on Southern perspectives, b) SMEs in their own right, and c) application of context-sensitive approaches.

'If the bridge ain't broke, don't fix it'. The Hidden Curriculum of Higher Education InternationalizationThoughts from DenmarkBlasco, Maribel; Tackney, Charles T. (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Denmark is among the world's most competitive nations. At the same time it has a strong tradition of citizenship‐oriented tertiary education. Nevertheless, we are currently witnessing the erosion of this tradition, arguably as a result of neoliberal ideologies ushered in by globalization and internationalization processes. These processes have stirred domestic fears, evident in government reports, about the need to improve Danish higher education to 'meet the challenges of globalisation'. Concrete instances of possible erosion include recent directives to examine and grade group work on an individual basis, the abolition of the '13' grade for individual or group performance, and the introduction of measurable skills via "learning objectives," for all tertiary education courses.

Undergraduate Synopsis-based Oral Examinations at a Scandinavian Business SchoolTackney, Charles T.; Strömgren, Ole; Sato, Toyoko (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: We report a local or regional undergraduate examination form – the synopsis-based oral examination (S-BOE), as it is deployed in both large and small international management education programs at a Scandinavian business school. The S-BOE format is designed to assess student cognitive achievement in light of specified learning objectives through a focused presentation and dialogue involving an examiner and qualified censor, the latter being formally present to ensure process fairness for both examiner and student. It affords the examiner and censor the opportunity to explore student cognitive skills over the known range: unistructural > multistructural > relational > extended abstract (Biggs, J. 1999). Individuals as well as student project groups may be assessed using this approach. Administrative costs do not significantly exceed that of other course assessment formats: written reports or in-class group examinations. There are also interesting learning efficiencies; practitioner experience, reflection, and dialogue with students suggest that all students experience this examination format as a learning experience in itself, over a range of course-related knowledge issues and interpersonal skilling. Exemplary students manifest "dramatic knowledge" in those instances when they creatively display a comprehensive, reflective, and reflexive understanding of course material in presentation and subsequent intersubjective dialogue. The authors discuss important features of this undergraduate examination format that remain largely overlooked and under-appreciated in terms that regionally and locally contextualize international accreditation standards and process. At a time when economic, efficiency, and standardization concerns increasingly pressure educational institutions to adopt testing methods that are psychologically "distant" in respect to the instructor-student relationship, the synopsis-based oral examination is an interesting alternative suitable for small as well as large academic programs.

Participation and Distribution Decisions in Japan's Industrial Relations System after World War II - Evidence of Conversion and Workplace EvangelizationTackney, Charles T. (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In this paper, and even more in presentation, I will be going out rather far out on the limb of my training in industrial relations. Such is, perhaps, the intent of the collaborative process envisioned by Lonergan, no less than the theme of this conference. It will be evident from my referencing specializations far from my field, along with the shaky tone of voice, that the limb is beginning to bend and, perhaps, may be about to give way. If the participants could offer a turning word that will aid this investigation, I would be grateful. This paper takes the form of an extended essay. We begin with a very simple and specific policy proposal for the current U.S. economic crisis, which I offer from my studies in industrial relations. Thereafter, as the section headings suggest, we will venture far afield. The distance travelled is necessary due to the topic, the nations, and the cultures involved. My aim is, first, to shed light upon one particular set of decisions taken in Japan, in the immediate aftermath of the Pacific War, and how these effected industrial relations developments thereafter. Second, and on a different level of analysis, I will present evidence that singular collaboration took place in Japanese history, at a specific point in time, that certainly appears to anticipate the notion of cosmopolis as Lonergan describes this utopian scheme. Third, I will end with brief points of possible further interest to Lonergan scholars. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7919

A critical management studies comparative assessment based on Japanese industrial relations researchTackney, Charles T. (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: At the core of the present global crisis lies an ideological oversight that indicates standard business models are subject to fail due to moral hazard: managerial prerogative, particularly the U.S. variant, is not self-regulating in respect to either corporate risk or the stewardship of stakeholder trust. We know there is variance in national political economies, but less is known about legal factors informing firm-specific variance, especially as these regards trust and transparency. This paper reports research seeking to bridge this 'gap' by the introduction of comparative legal ecology employment models of the enterprise. The construct is derived from reflection upon industrial relations research into the existence and nature of Japan's 'lifetime employment system'. Construct parameters include employment security, labor unions and the degree of employee participation permitted (if any); model schematics are offered for the United States of America, Germany, Japan, Denmark, and the People's Republic of China. The comparative models help to account for variance in the legal extent and nature of managerial prerogative, job security, and the degree of information, power, and resource transparency of any enterprise. These offer, in consequence, clear and clearly comparative benchmarks of industrial democracy. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7918

European Undergraduate - Research Oriented Participatory Education (EU-ROPE, 2) At a Danish Business School: Education Policy, Administrative Practice, and Survey Data on Project Advisor Qualifications and PreferencesTackney, Charles T.; Sato, Toyoko; Strömgren, Ole (København, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper was composed in the fall of 2007. It was then presented on 17 November 2007 at the Matchpoints Conference at the University of Århus, a conference jointly sponsored by the Irish Embassy to Denmark and the University of Århus. We subsequently presented the paper to an internal IKL session of colleagues involved in educational research (dubbed, the "Educational Irregulars') and then offered the paper to an internal seminar of the Asian Research Center. Throughout this process, Maribel Blasco has been particularly helpful as a colleague with knowledge and interest in the role, nature, and politics of tertiary education. We learned through this process that our Working Paper is at least four separate research journal pieces – in potential. Thus, we file this as a record of a work in progress and as a follow up to the previously filed Working Paper we now refer to as the "EU-ROPE 1" paper – our first venture into exploring the educational character and implications of the CBS SPRØK undergraduate educational model.

Leander, Anna (København, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper explains, or perhaps better rationalizes, why I have ended up thinking that so called "practice" theory provides the most adequate entry point for theorizing about business in/and global governance.1 But more than this the key ambition is to spell out what it means to work with practice theory and what kind of leverage it gives for understanding the role of business in global governance. The paper therefore begins by an account of two major difficulties thinking in terms of practices are useful for circumventing. The general thrust of that section is to underline why it may be useful to think in terms of practices in the first place rather than sticking with some of its admittedly more parsimonious and less labor intense alternatives. The rest of the paper then tries to outline what it means (in my view) to work with practices. The second section focuses on how we know whose/what practices matter. It emphasizes the importance of allowing for contextual differentiation when mapping activities and their hierarchies. It also underscores the significance of remaining open about who and what is important. It points to the centrality of different forms of capital (economic, social, cultural and symbolic) in defining whose activities matter. But even more strongly it links up with actor-network-theory's insight that also objects and technologies "act" in social relations. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7024

Leander, Anna (København, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper analyses one influential Hollywood documentary, Edward Zwick's movie Blood Diamond as if it were an advertising campaign. Drawing on a business school textbook: Sign Wars: The Cluttered Landscape of Advertising, it poses the kinds of question an advertiser would: namely how the brand image is established, how it is made superior to other images and how good it is at capturing would-be-consumers. The paper suggests that Blood Diamond fares well on all three accounts and it traces why this is so. Specifically, it emphasizes the extent to which the film has contributed to establish and solidify the link between blood and diamonds in a process of "cultural cannibalism". Second, it underlines role of "Hollywood authenticity" in establishing its very particular picture of politics as superior to alternatives. This certainly is more an unintended "collateral damage" than a part the producers'/directors' intention. Finally, the last section suggests that Blood Diamond effectively captures the spectator by the reassuring, but illusive, plurality of images and by its visual fetichism.

Data Loss Prevention 12.x (Vontu) support for SharePoint 2013 server targets
I see from the Symantec DLP 12 Admin Guide that Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2003 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 are OFFICIALLY supported as server scan targets.
My question is - Is anyone scanning Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2013 from their DLP 12.x Detection hosts?
Per the Symantec DLP 12 Admin Guide - To scan a SharePoint target using Network Discover, you must install the Symantec
SharePoint solution on the Web Front Ends in a farm. Don't I need a SharePoint Server 2013 compatable version?
Comments 2 Comments • Jump to latest comment
MS office sharepoint 2013 running on Windows Server 2008 R2 supported.
Help Link: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/overview.jsp?pid=54619
DLP Version 12 was released last year so SharePoint 2013 was not available to test the SharePoint plugin. So the plugin might actually work with DLP. Keep in mind that the plugin is what makes DLP able to scan it. So the plugin is the key piece to the puzzle.
I would try to install the plugin on SharePoint and see if it works. If not then uninstall the plugin.
Also keep in mind that Version 12.5 is coming in the next couple weeks (1st week of June), which might support 2013.
Hope this makes sense.
If this solves your questions please marked as solved.

A report by the Local Government Committee looking at the Government's planning reforms suggests that the reforms are biased in favour of developers.
The Prime Minister wants to stimulate growth and cut red tape by cutting 1,300 pages of planning guidance to just 52 in the new National Planning Policy Framework.
But chair of the committee that produced the report, Clive Betts, said that the reforms are "too weighted to economic development at the expense of social and environmental factors."
The recommendations made by the report include:
* Scrapping a clause where developers are given a default "yes" to building in areas where councils have failed to draw up local plans to protect the environment.
* Reinstating a commitment to develop brownfield sites before greenfield ones to help encourage urban regeneration.
* Dropping a clause which allows development to go ahead if it is too expensive to make it sustainable.
* Replacing every sports field built on by developers.
Mr Betts added that there has to be a more "even balance" in the reforms between economic development and social and environmental factors.
The Daily Telegraph has urged ministers to think again about the reforms with its Hands Off Our Land campaign.

Almost everyone knows CEO pay is out of control. It surged 16 percent at big companies last year, according to the New York Times, and the typical CEO raked in $15.1 million.
Meanwhile, the median wage continued to drop, adjusted for inflation.
What's less well-known is that you and I and other taxpayers are subsidizing this sky-high executive compensation. That's because corporations deduct it from their income taxes, causing the rest of us to pay more in taxes to make up the difference.
This tax subsidy ought to be one of the first tax expenditures to go, when and if Congress turns to reforming the tax code.
We almost got there 20 years ago. When he was campaigning for the presidency, Bill Clinton promised that if elected he'd end the deductibility of executive pay in excess of $1 million.
Once in office, though, his economic advisers urged him to modify his pledge to allow corporations to deduct executive pay in excess of $1 million if the pay was linked to corporate performance - that is, to the value of the company's shares.
Clinton agreed with the majority of his advisers, and a new provision was added to the Internal Revenue Code, Section 162(m), allowing corporations to deduct from their tax bills executive compensation in excess of $1 million - but only if the compensation is tied to company performance.
How has it worked out? Even Sen. Charles Grassley, the ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, agrees it's been a sham: "162(m) is broken. ... It was well-intentioned. But it really hasn't worked at all. Companies have found it easy to get around the law. It has more holes than Swiss cheese. And it seems to have encouraged the options industry. These sophisticated folks are working with Swiss-watch-like devices to game this Swiss-cheese-like rule."
Shareholders get taken to the cleaners by all these maneuvers. Executive pay is skyrocketing even at companies whose share prices have dropped.
But it's not only shareholders who lose. You and I and other taxpayers are also being ripped off, because this so-called "performance" pay is deducted from corporations' taxable earnings.
The Economic Policy Institute estimates that from 2007 to 2010, a total of $121.5 billion in executive compensation was deducted from corporate earnings, and roughly 55 percent of this total was for performance-based compensation. Given all the games, it's likely much of this "performance" was baloney.
So what's the answer?
As I argued 20 years ago, keep the pay cap at $1 million and get rid of the performance-pay loophole. Corporations shouldn't be able to deduct executive pay in excess of $1 million, period.

Cocktail: Bayshore Coffee Company: Just enough of everything
If you're looking for an intimate bistro to curl up with a glass of wine, a gourmet panini and listen to some live jazz, blues, salsa or even bluegrass music, look no further than Bayshore Coffee Company.
Donna Hall came down from Maine a few years ago with her daughter, Chris Futrell, who is married to Executive Chef Fred Futrell, a graduate of the prestigious College of Culinary Arts at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, R.I.
The three of them have put together a nightspot with a strong local following for the music, the incredible menu and unique atmosphere. It's a little bohemian, with hand-painted designs on the walls that sport paintings and artistic photographs for sale, like a gallery.
Wine tasting is a regular event, interspersed with book signings and artists receptions. Their free Internet WIFI connection usually provides a few thoughtful figures hunched over laptops, mouse in one hand and coffee mug in the other.
Some of the regular performers include celebrated trumpeter Bob Zottala, with his Expandable Jazz Band, which means there are always some crazy cats sitting in on a
The recent debut of The Bean Pickers and The Fleas has been a pleasant surprise. According to Chris, "The bluegrass thing has taken off and is still growing, and it's only summer." Maybe it's the fresh roasted coffee, or the homemade desserts.
Bayshore Coffee Company is open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday through Tuesday and from 7 a.m. until the place is empty Wednesday through Saturday. Visit www.bayshorecoffee.com for a schedule of

Of all the things we expect out of an SPF, pleasant smells fall in the "unlikely" category. That's why we were so pleasantly surprised to discover COOLA's citrusy formula, which gets its refreshing natural scent from a trio of orange peel, lemon peel, and tangerine peel oils. Made with 97 percent organic plant inactive ingredients, the sunblock goes on clear and the convenient spray helps us reach all those nooks and crannies we'd miss otherwise. Great for all skin types, it's a must for summer.
I'm crazy about this product. I live in the hot, hot desert and I have to spray on sunscreen Spring through Fall to avoid skin damage when I work in the yard, hike, or walk. This is by far the best smelling spray-on I've used. I love all the Coola products. I also use the cucumber face sunscreen and the tinted sunscreen. As I said in an earlier review of a different Coola spray, the can is shaped weird for my hand and I have a hard time spraying it with one hand. I like the product enough that I'm willing to wrestle with the can. I also love that these products are organic and made in California.5
This is the first time that i find a sun protector that i absolutely love. When i apply coola it does not feel heavy oily and it smells amazing!! I now know why so many people recommend it. I will definately continue to buy coola's products specially this spf since it is so easy to apply5

I certainly have, although my hookers were gay porn stars.
Actually, if you IMDB the hot naked guy from the first scene, it turns out he did
Red Show Diaries
type softcore porn in his youth.
I love the eunuch line. It really has to be heard in it's entirety though.
"She's got the big puppy love. And why wouldn't she? You're handsome, brave, heroic... emotionally stunted, erratic, prone to turning evil and, let's face it, a eunuch."
CC salivates over the bodybuilders but still thinks 'All men are dogs'.
Yeah, I thought that was bit hypocritical myself. I guess it was just there to say that women can be just as bad as men.
Marcus thinks Angel is gay (just look at his outfit)
They actually set this - and the body switch - up earlier by having Angel dress in leather pants. It's a well-known rule in the Buffyverse that leather pants = evil. Even Lorne knows it. And there's a moment early on where both Cordy and Wesley look Angel up and down disapprovingly, clearly taking note of the leather pants. Thus it fits perfectly when Angel does become the bad guy of the episode.
Good performace from Rance Howard as Marcus (Ron Howard's dad)
Really? I thought it was a bit blah myself. He didn't seem to be making any effort to actually act like Angel's character.
Foreshadowing to be found in 3x04 "Carpe Noctem" :
When Angel (in Marcus's body) is trying to escape from the evil retirement home (where you're not allowed out of your room at night, aren't allowed your own phone and they just put you back to bed after you've had a heart attack), there's a moment when the other old guy introduces him to his new granddaughter. So you've got Angel suddenly cradling a newborn baby, not knowing quite what to do with it but slowly getting the wonder. This obviously leads directly into the Connor storyline.
And later, when Marcus-in-Angel comes back to the home and pretends to be Marcus's son, he looks over at Angel-in-Marcus and says, "Hi, Dad!" A line which will be used in much more sinister circumstances at the ends of 3x19 "The Price" and 3x20 "A New World."
NotAngel throws Lilah onto Wesley's desk and starts furiously making out with her. Wesley is appalled at the thought, even though he himself will be doing a lot more than just making out with Lilah by the end of the season.

Labor Bosses Demand Their Dues; Preserving Rank-and-File Numbers Is Key to Wealth and Power
Byline: Matt Patterson and Trey Kovacs, SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude .. shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction
- United States Constitution, 13th Amendment
Labor bosses are fighting to keep peo- ple in unions against their will, forcibly collecting dues from unwilling members and using those dues to line their own pockets. In effect, labor leaders have imposed their own system of involuntary servitude on recalcitrant union members.
In California, for example, Service Employees International Union (SEIU) bosses in Fresno are engaged in a war to keep disgruntled members from defecting. Worker disenchantment with SEIU representation began in January, when Fresno County officials were forced to cut public workers' wages by 9 percent in light of the government's dire financial straits. Outraged SEIU bigwigs reacted in typical fashion by calling for a three-day strike.
But rank-and-file SEIU members were less than eager to blame county officials for trying to right the government's sinking fiscal ship. Union workers realized a return to financial stability required a shared sacrifice and took a dim view of their union bosses' petulant agitations. Before long, Fresno County workers began to seek decertification from SEIU.
For their part, Fresno correctional officers created another union and petitioned for a union election. Eulalio Gomez, president of the newly created Fresno Sheriff's Correctional Officers Association, commented on his group's decision to cut ties with SEIU: I have an issue with a union telling you to go on strike in today's double-digit unemployment. One out of five people are not working here. We have people in a lot of financial distress, and they're out here with their whistles and their picket signs, doing what?
Fresno Department of Social Services workers also have petitioned for a decertification vote from SEIU. …

let canon USA KNOW what you think!!!
that will help more then complaining here.
What an innovative idea!
DPhotoWriter: I am a BIG canon fan now!
mayurgogoi, admit it, I am more innovative than Canon.
"The higher the expectation the higher the disappointment" - can't be more true. Why we need to learn it over and over again. Marketing wins, hands down. I feel like a stupid controlled puppet. Never commented so much in my life. Shame on me :(
Was expecting a new camera, and got a Canon EOS SHIZA - lol
Canon EOS 60D: I don't see any direct relation of their cryptic advertisement to that new website of theirs. They just created a website to reintroduce/reiterate their products in general.
There is nothing impossible in the products/services they showed. Everything was already done by their competitors long time ago.
I don't get what Canon meant with "at Canon, we see impossible". They're just basically following their competitors' footsteps.
DPReview should not post Canon teaser advertisements anymore as they are all LETDOWN.
No, we actually need dpreview to post it, so more people can be convinced to make the switch :)
I am a BIG canon fan now!
Canon did this all to read all our ideas in this page so they can build upon our ideas and innovate.
What a let down lol
Maybe a camera with video recording feature that allows to change focus in post production

Am I the only one who finds it a bit arrogant...Is team Canon snubbing their customers?
I think they mean that the new product "Sees" what the human eye can't see (maybe something related to very low-light capability) so maybe it's not arrogant.. need to wait and see...

Dave Kallmann offers news, notes and perspective on the wide world of auto racing
Hunter-Reay wins Milwaukee IndyFest
West Allis -- Ryan Hunter-Reay, the only driver to win an Indy-style race at the Milwaukee Mile from flag to flag, picked up his second victory at the track Saturday.
Hunter-Reay pulled away from Tony Kanaan late in the Milwaukee IndyFest 225 and finished 5 seconds ahead.
James Hinchcliffe finished third in the race that was delayed by 90 minutes because of rain.
This victory was Hunter-Reay's first in 11 races, since New Hampshire, another 1-mile oval, last season and his sixth in the IndyCar Series.
"I enjoy short-track racing," Hunter-Reay said. "Places like Milwaukee, New Hampshire, they're very challenging. The car changes so much through a stint, it's just a really challenging, different type of racing."But you're no better than the team you're with. (Andretti Autosport has) certainly given me a great opportunity here and I have them to thank for it. "
Hunter-Reay led all 250 laps of the 2004 CART race at the Mile.
Pole-sitter Dario Franchitti, mired in traffic after a pit stop just before a caution flag, crashed on the 195th lap. Ryan Briscoe had squeezed him down on the grass in Turn 3-4, and a half-lap later, Franchitti's car snapped around.
Point leader Will Power finished 12th.

How do I get a quote?
When applying for life insurance cover you should include all relevant information on your application - failing to do so is known as 'non-disclosure' and could eventually result in a claim being refused by the insurance company.
When the insurance company receives your application, it will be assessed by specialists. The information you provide on the application form helps the insurance company to decide whether your application is accepted at face value, needs supporting with more information, has exclusions or is deferred for a period of time, or is declined altogether.
If further information is required, usually that takes the form of a written report from your GP, the results of a medical examination, or your answers to a medical, financial or personal activities questionnaire or a tele underwriting conversation with an underwriter.
Another consideration is the amount of cover requested. The insurance company looks at an applicant's financial circumstances and assess whether they are relative to the amount of cover required. So if for example you request cover that totals 50 times more than your annual income, then the insurance company may ask you why you want to pay for a lot more cover than it appears you need.
Sometimes the life insurance premium initially quoted will increase because some or all of the following points come to light and are factored into the underwriter's risk calculation.
If for example, you are overweight, suffer from high blood pressure, or there is a family history of poor health then the initially quoted premium will be subject to a 'rating' – it will be increased.
If you drink alcohol to excess or smoke, then the premium can again be increased.
Premiums can also be increased if your occupation is known to be hazardous to health – e.g. someone who flies a lot will pay higher insurance premiums.
Anyone who participates in dangerous hobbies such as mountaineering may find it hard to get cover or have to pay a significantly higher premium. There are specialist life insurance companies who can provide cover at more reasonable prices.
