Do you develop solutions to optimize businesses' presence for demand generation success through all their marketing channels? Do you do something that sounds equally as unsexy and immediately sends your friends into a slumber at cocktail parties?
B2B is sooo boring. Too boring for Facebook, right?
Pshh, no way! B2B marketers have just as many opportunities on Facebook as their B2C brethren, and if you're a regular reader of this blog, you know we're dead set on proving it -- we've actually written a post that outlines exactly how B2B marketers can succeed on all the big social networks. All of 'em.
So whether you're looking to get started on Facebook, convince your boss Facebook isn't reserved for B2C companies, or just give your presence there a little extra love, take a look at these Facebook page cover photos from other B2B marketers. It should get your creative juices flowing, and let you see the different ways B2B marketers can approach that giant chunk of visual real estate at the top of the new Facebook business pages.
1) The BOSS Snowplow
Welcome to Boss country, indeed. This manufacturer of snow removal equipment (and HubSpot customer!) has a cover photo that will jump out of the computer and bulldoze you if you don't like their page. I particularly love the way "The Boss" is outlined in the bottom left photo that really hammers home their epic point ... that these guys are BOSS! (Nineties slang, anyone?)
2) Intel
Intel's cover photo is ... well, it's pretty weird. It's kind of hard not to let a giggle slip out when looking at that little yellow guy. Or girl? Either way, this is about the last thing anyone would expect to see when stumbling upon Intel's Facebook page. But it actually does make sense -- it's part of their SciArt Series, which is a collection of art celebrating scientific breakthroughs at Intel's International Science and Engineering Fair. And since new art is added pretty frequently, we're excited to see what else graces the cover of their Facebook page in the future!
3) Dropbox
Dropbox leverages one of my favorite tactics for engendering love in the hearts of your audience ... being adorable. First of all, this looks like the happiest place on earth. Maybe colored pencil just has that effect on me. Second of all, what's cuter than that little smiling stick figure guy flying the red plane? Do you see him? Fly safe, little guy! Plus, Dropbox carries over this design to their Twitter account and website for a consistent brand experience.
4) Forrester Research
Forrester Research is an independent research company that prides itself on its objectivity and pragmatism, which is why this cover photo is so appropriate! Instead of using a photograph of their researchers, they've echoed the objectivity of their research through the use of silhouettes to represent their researchers. Now those are some faces I can trust.
But that doesn't mean you can't show your employees' smiling faces! HubSpot agency partner PR 20/20 shows off their team in their cover photo, providing a more personal experience for clients that visit their Facebook page. It doesn't hurt that they're all wearing nice shades of blue that echo their company logo ... and that they're a pretty handsome bunch, to boot! Oh, PR 20/20, you heartbreakers!
6) Deloitte
You can also showcase your employees in a new light -- one outside of the office -- like Deloitte has done in their Facebook cover photo. They've selected the Deloitte China dragon boat team in action as their cover photo, and I gotta say it humanizes the brand a bit. It's nice to see an organization many might consider "stuffy" doing something pretty darn cool outside of their office's four walls.
7) W.B. Mason
W.B. Mason's cover photo has that antique look that embodies the W.B. Mason mascot (can you call him a mascot?). Makes sense, since they've been going strong since 1898 -- probably because they're adopting inbound marketing methods like using Facebook ;-)
8) Salesforce
Salesforce is focused on promoting the social enterprise -- the company description on their Facebook page is, "Born Cloud. Reborn Social." So it only makes sense that they use their Facebook cover photo to promote not only their own investment in the social enterprise, but also their investment in one of their customers, too. Caesar's Palace is actually a customer success story for Salesforce, and they're doing what all B2B organizations should be doing in this cover photo -- giving some serious customer love ... with a touch of whimsy, of course!
9) Weidert Group
Of course, you could always just fall back on creating something beautiful. This cover photo from one of our awesome partners is bright and eye-catching, but still showcases simple and clean design. Take those white icons in the upper-left corner, for example -- they give indications of what Weidert Group might do, but it doesn't give away the farm. Like any great cover photo, this one grabs your attention so you're compelled to learn more about the company.
10) General Electric
General Electric is a common visitor on our social media rockstar lists, because they inspire you to think outside the box when you're working in a traditionally dull industry. If you haven't already, I recommend you take a look at the cool things they're doing on Pinterest for more inspiration. But this cover photo positions them as a classic icon -- a beacon of light! -- for the energy world. There's nothing wrong with a little simple elegance now and again.
11) Yoh
Yoh is a HubSpot customer that provides HR outsourcing solutions. Their cover photo is excellent because it promotes something everyone can support -- National Military Appreciation Month -- and it also relates back to their business in some way. Yoh can help their clients hire military veterans, a cause everyone can get behind and is happy to see promoted on social media by a company who can actually help the cause.
12) HubSpot
Finally, a shameless plug for our own Facebook cover photo ... but we actually think it's pretty cool. Why? Because this new photo (we used to have an orange-ified Boston skyline) helps us promote one of our events. You might remember that the new Facebook page Timeline design restricted your ability to make your photo a call-to-action -- but when you click on this photo, the description includes a link that leads to the landing page on which you can register for The Science of Inbound Marketing, what we hope will set the new record for the world's largest webinar!

Every year in May, The City conducts the Central Business District (CBD) cordon count. The cordon count is performed at about 31 locations around the CBD over a three week time period, collecting data on how people travel into and out of downtown Calgary.
The CBD cordon circles the downtown with the Bow River to the north and the railway tracks to the south and from 11 Street in the west to the Elbow River in the east.
One to four data collectors count each location per eight hour shift, so one to four locations are counted per day. Data collectors are positioned at each cordon crossing location from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. They count every single person entering or exiting the downtown and how they were travelling; whether on foot, by bicycle, on a C-Train or bus, as a passenger in a car or as the driver of car.
As each location is counted on only one day it may not be appropriate to compare one year to the next at any given location, as weather impacts the number of pedestrians and cyclists. Since it takes three weeks to count the entire cordon, it is possible to compare the overall CBD cordon count year to year because the weather averages out. This allows The City to get an idea of the changes in downtown travel activity.
These tables show cordon count for the last few years and provide a detailed breakdown of how people travelled into and out of the Central Business District. Learn more about the cordon count.

Fraud claims are generally ill-suited for class action treatment. In nearly any class action involving fraud, plaintiffs face an uphill battle in establishing class-wide exposure to the alleged misrepresentations, which is only an initial element of the claim. A recent federal court decision (Simmons v. Author Solutions, LLC, No. 13cv2801, 2015 WL 4002243 (July 1, 2015)) nicely illustrates the difficulty plaintiffs face.
In Simmons, the plaintiffs sought to certify a class of authors who contracted with the defendant, a self-publishing service. Among other things, plaintiffs alleged claims of fraud. Plaintiffs did not allege that the defendant made any misrepresentations in their contracts or during conversations with sales people. Instead, plaintiffs based their fraud claims on three representations on the defendant's website about the publishing service's ability to help authors' sales. The court denied plaintiffs' motion for class certification on their fraud claims for failing to meet the predominance requirement in Rule 23(b)(3).
The court focused on the plaintiffs' lack of evidence that the putative class members had been uniformly exposed to the alleged misrepresentations. Showing class-wide exposure is usually the first step for plaintiffs asserting fraud claims. The first and most obvious way to do so is to offer evidence of actual exposure. This is easiest in cases involving misrepresentations in contracts, because there will be little difficulty in showing that class members were exposed if they all signed contracts containing the statements at issue. Plaintiffs in Simmonscould not show actual exposure because they could not show that the putative class members had all read the same parts of the website, or even whether they had visited the website at all.
Next, Plaintiffs argued that individual proof of exposure was unnecessary because exposure could be presumed. Because California law controlled, plaintiffs relied on In re Tobacco II Cases, 207 P.3d 20 (Cal. 2009), which held that class members' exposure to tobacco companies' misrepresentations about the health effects of smoking could be presumed. But nearly any case will be easily distinguishable from Tobacco II. The Simmons court distinguished the Tobacco IIcase, as other federal courts have done, as a unique situation where, because of the tobacco advertising campaign conducted over multiple decades, each class member was almost certainly exposed to the misrepresentations. Instances where exposure may be presumed will likely be limited to such long-term, pervasive campaigns of misrepresentations. In contrast, plaintiffs in Simmons could not prove a detailed, long-term campaign to defraud.
Third, Plaintiffs may also attempt to overcome individualized proof of exposure by showing that the defendant utilized a script in conversations with class members. Plaintiffs in Simmons claimed that the defendant used the representations on the website as a script during conversations with customers, thereby increasing the chances that putative class members were exposed. But plaintiffs could only point to vague deposition testimony about salespeople generally using template emails and salespeople being directed to point customers to the website, which the court found insufficient to show widespread exposure to the representations.
Finally, plaintiffs argued that class certification was appropriate because each class members was subject to a common deceptive scheme. Plaintiffs relied on In re First Alliance Mortgage Co., 471 F.3d 977, 991-992 (9th Cir. 2006), where a class was certified even though the same specifically-worded misrepresentation was not delivered to each class member. First Alliance held that class certification was appropriate because the defendant engaged in a "centrally-orchestrated scheme" to misrepresent the monthly loan payments, and to falsely represent that all fees and costs were included in the monthly payments when asked by potential borrowers about points, before directing them to another document. But plaintiffs inSimmons had no evidence of a centrally-orchestrated scheme with concrete misrepresentations.
Simmons highlights four avenues for showing class-wide exposure to misrepresentations, but each poses its own difficulties. In the end, class action treatment was inappropriate in Simmons for the same reason it is inappropriate in most fraud cases: even assuming the representations were false, it is difficult to show that each class member was actually exposed to the representations.

I guess now you realize what I was talking about.
Concerning bennies, I mean. Over the years, I have shared with my readers my observation that the tourists who visit the Jersey Shore every summer from the greater New York City area, called "bennies" by us locals, are perhaps the most uncultured, ill-behaved tourists on Earth.
People accuse me of exaggerating. That will never happen again. And I have the bennies themselves to thank for it. In this case, the ones who run the MTV network.
Those Manhattan bennies recruited other bennies from places like the Bronx and Staten Island to live in a house in Seaside Heights over the summer and be videotaped. These self-proclaimed "guidos" and "guidettes" — four of each — displayed for all to see the sort of boorish behavior of which I have been writing for some time now.
For that I am eternally grateful. But I'm not at all happy with the title: "Jersey Shore." Only two of the eight were from Jersey and none were from the Shore. Five came from New York, as did the crews that consorted with them.
Why should the good name of the Jersey Shore be further debased by the antics of these New Yorkers? Frankly, I had my fill of New Yorkers the last time bad bennie behavior was in the news. That was in 2007, when Belmar Mayor Ken Pringle made a joking reference to "Staten Island girls" after one such specimen socked another female in the face with a glass during a bar fight.
''Now we're not sure if the glass was stuck to her hand 'cause of all the hair spray or if this is a technique Staten Island girls learn in Brownies," Pringle wrote in a newsletter.
The New York media pounced. Not on the actual Staten Island girl who hit someone with a glass. On the mayor who made a joke about it.
I attended an event on Staten Island at which Pringle was forced to apologize before the cream of the New York press corps, certainly the most incompetent group of journalists any major city has ever produced. Imagine the London media confronting a similar escapade, the invasion of the Continent by a mob of British soccer hooligans. The Fleet Street lads would at least have the decency to place the blame on their fellow Brits.
Not the New York media. I stood there aghast as these semiliterates assailed poor Pringle without seeming to have the slightest realization of their city's role in spawning the subculture that produces girls who fight in bars.
Well, there's no denying it now. But it was left to another New Yorker, an outsider to the MTV group, to deliver the coup de grace to any remaining positive image attached to the New Yorker seeking his summer leisure at the Shore.
It's bad enough when girls hit girls. But "Jersey Shore" offered an innovation that startled even me, hardened as I am by a half-century of Shore summers. That occurred one night in a bar when a grown man hit one of the girls with a right cross right in front of the video cameras.
Was he a street thug, a Mafia enforcer? No, in New York City such characters are hired to instruct others. The clip of 24-year-old North Queens Community High School teacher Brad Ferro sucker-punching Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi promptly went viral on the internet (Where you can also find this video of him getting clocked in a mixed-martial-arts competition. Watch it and you'll see why he chose a girl as his next opponent.)
The impression created out in the hinterlands was that the people on the show are somehow typical of the Jersey Shore. Nothing could be further from the truth. The dreadful "Snooki" is a New Yorker who has been quoted as saying "I wanna marry a guido. My ultimate dream is to move to Jersey, find a nice, juiced, tan guy and live my life."
I don't know where in Jersey she hopes to find this "juiced" — i.e. steroid-addicted — guy. But it's unlikely to be at the Shore. If you stood outside the typical Shore high school at the end of the school day, as I have at times when collecting my kids, you would see a collection of clean-cut kids most Americans would associate with a California beach town — with the minor exception that, unlike the Californians, the Jersey kids can actually surf.
As for the "guido" lifestyle, it has little to do with the Jersey Shore. And Italian-American groups are right to object to any association as well. The great culture that began in Rome has no connection whatsoever to the degenerate behavior being recorded by the minions of these Manhattan media moguls.
No, this is the work of New York and New Yorkers. They are a uniquely charmless bunch. The best I can say for them is they make me appreciate winter. It begins tomorrow at 12:47 p.m.
May it never end.
Paul Mulshine is a Star-Ledger columnist who lives year-round at the Shore.
Whenever I write about the bad behavior of bennies at the SHore, I invariably heard from readers who excuse this awful behavior by mentioning how much money is spent at the Shore each summer.
Do not do this or you will get a "Travel Trash" alert posted over your comment.
By "Travel Trash," I mean the sort of people who believe bad tourist behavior can be excused by the spending of the tourist in question. This a trashy mentality. I have traveled all over the world and despite how much I spend or where I travel, I always try to respect the manners and the privacy of the locals. You should, too. If you believe otherwise, then readers will be alerted to your slovenly manners in the way I just described.
You have been warned.
ALSO: Check this hilarious appearance of three of the cast on Jay Leno. He set up a quiz show and asked the three questions that required them to know such famous Jersey names as Frank Sinatra and Thomas Edison. They didn't know for a simple reason: They're not from Jersey.

Pro Series
We call it the Pro Series because these mic stands rock – but you don't have to be a pro to appreciate them. They're simply the right stand, at the right price, for anyone that wants a mic stand that will make it through a hard day's work without complaining. It's a mic stand that may even make your life a little easier.
It starts with oversized, thick-walled steel tubing and a heavy-duty powder coated finish that is 20 times stronger than the competition. There's high quality hardware, like rubber foot caps that won't come off and get lost. Field replaceable parts, to keep them going when the going gets rough. Then there's the real surprise: our patented ¼-turn clutch mechanism. What's that, you say? Well, we could try to describe how ergonomic the oversized handle is, and how smoothly it locks and unlocks with an easy twist, and how it makes adjusting the height fast and fun, not foolish and fiddly. Or, you could just try it. One twist and you'll immediately understand. All these standard features come in a variety of bases and configurations to match your every need. Once you've used one, you'll say: go Pro, or go home.

Adolf Hitler on the street in Nuremberg, as marchers come along with their banner. Hitler stands with Ernst Roehm, leader of the Storm troopers. Troopers stand with banner topped by swastika and letters: NSDAP, for the National Socialist German Worker's Party (Nazi party). Banner beneath says simply: Germany-Wake up! Adolf Hitler and Rudolf Hess (or Heß) walk together. Views of Julius Streicher, an influential antisemitic publisher and Nazi party member. Hitler stands at front of an assembly of party members on a staircase, and then steps into an open car with some and drives off. Columns of Nazis line up in an open field. A marching band plays. A quote from a newspaper, of August 22, 1927,extols the Nazi rally for its thought and strict militaristic discipline. Trumpeters play, as Hitler stands on hillside with large contingent of Nazis. Many banners are displayed. Hitler speaks to the assembly saying in effect, that Germany's freedom will be resurrected just as the people and the fatherland will be reborn, more powerful than ever. The party members parade. Hitler gives Nazi salute. He is wearing iron cross decoration on his shirt.
Descriptions and diagrams of various model airplanes used in experiments with solid powder propulsion, in Germany starting in 1927. Diagram of a 'Storch' model airplane. Diagram of "Ente"(Duck) model airplane. An Opel full scale model "Ent" airplane being checked out on a launching rail at an airfield. Fritz von Opel makes adjustments at the rear of the airplane and, assisted by several other men, moves the airplane along the launch ramp and back again. On the side of the plane is written: "Sander AK-1." Photographers take pictures. The first manned test of an Opel "ent" airplane is undertaken by the Research Institute of the RhonRossitten-Gesellschaft (RRG) under the direction of Fritz Stamer. In the first three trials the airplane fails to rise and simply skids along the ground. However, on the 4th try, it successfully flies off the launch rail in an extended high speed flight, for three-quarters of a mile in just under one minute. The successful flight is then shown in slow motion from two different camera angles.
Cornelius Edzard and Johann Risticz set a flight record (1927) in Dessau,Germany. The crowds wave at a W-33 Junker plane in air. A sign on the ground reads '9 o' clock, 51 hours and 12 minutes'. The plane comes in for landing. The crowd rushes towards the plane. The W-33 junker plane lands. Pilots get out of the cockpit of the plane. Flowers are presented to the pilot, Cornelius Edzard and the copilot, Johann Risticz. They drink from cups. They hold flowers and bystanders wave.
Slate mentions the research of American Robert H. Goddard, on solid (powder) rocket engines. Image of Dr. Goddard. Pictures of other rocket scientists: Max Valier and Johannes Winkler in Germany. Books written by these scientists are also seen.

Slide 2: What Is Recession ? A Recession is a contraction phase of the business cycle. National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) is the official agency in charge of declaring that the economy is in a state of recession. Slide 3: They define recession as : "significant decline in economic activity lasting more than a few months, which is normally visible in real GDP, real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales". Slide 4: What Causes Recession ? Slide 5: An economy typically expands for 6-10 years and tends to go into a recession for about six months to 2 years. A recession normally takes place when consumers loose confidence in the growth of the economy and spend less. This leads to a decreased demand for goods and services, which in turn leads to a decrease in production, lay-offs and a sharp rise in unemployment. Investors spend less as they fear stocks values will fall and thus stock markets fall on negative sentiment. Slide 6: World Economy The Global Economy Slide 7: The world economy grew 5.2% in 2007 Powered by growth in China (11%), India (9%) and Russia (8%). The BRIC countries had been posting 7%-10% grow rates for years. Property and stock market booms. Investment was bringing economic development. Developing and less developed economies depend on the developed countries for their economic wellbeing. Slide 8: What a difference a year makes?? The global economy has been hit by a rapid one-two punch that set the stage for stagflation to make a come-back. It started with the sub-prime crisis in the US. UNITED STATES IN : UNITED STATES IN Slide 10: U.S.A – Consumption based Economy. 2/3rd economic activity i.e. GDP – comes from consumers.

Slide 14: Reduced spending meant - reduced activity for most businesses and consumers. businesses started to layoff workers (firing people as there was no work). Slide 15: Because of layoff Unemployment started to rise which resulted in further reduction in spending by consumer. Slide 16: Rising oil prices at $100 a barrel Slide 19: Dollar value Declined Stock market crashed Slide 20: All this slowed down the growth of economy. GDP growth rate fell to 2% All this put together has driven the U.S. economy in recession. Slide 21: In Feb, 63,000 jobs were lost. In Sept, 159,000 jobs were lost, the 5 yr U.S record.

The year also saw the ninth biggest bankruptcy with the failure of Indy Mac Bank. Other Famous who got bankrupt were, fannies mae & Freddie Mac, aig, bearstearns etc. IMPACT OF GLOBAL RECESSION ON INDIA : IMPACT OF GLOBAL RECESSION ON INDIA Slide 29: Indian companies have major outsourcing deals from the US. India's exports to the US have also grown substantially over the years. More people have sold the shares in the indian share market than they bought in the recent weeks. This has added to the fall of sensex to lower points. Slide 30: One danger meanwhile is of a dip in the employment market. There is already anecdotal evidence of this in the IT and financial sectors, and reports of quiet downsizing in many other fields as companies cut costs. Many companies has laid off their staffs, the number of tourists inflow to india has come down, companies have cut down compensations and perks etc, government and other private companies are reluctant in starting new ventures and starting new projects etc. Slide 31: One of the casualties this time could be real estate, where building projects are half-done all over the country and in this tight liquidity situation developers find it difficult to raise finances. The only way out of the mess is for builders to drop prices, which had reached unrealistic levels and assumed the characteristics of a property bubble, so as to bring buyers back into the market, but there is not enough evidence of that happening. Slide 32: Recession in jobs availiability and companies following downsizaing in the existing available staff and cutting down of the perks and salary corrections. Globally the financial sector sacking the existing base of employees Slide 33: In high numbers in US the major example being CITI Group same still followed by others in hospitality industry Jet and Kingfisher Airlines too. The cut in salary for the pilots being 90 % can any one imagine such a huge cut in salary Slide 34: For the first time in five years, India's export growth has turned negative. Exports for October 2008 contracted by 15% on a year-on-year basis. This should not surprise as the OECD economies that account for over 40% of India's export market have been slowing for months. With the US and EU already entering a phase of recession, India's export growth had to fall sharply. It must be noted this growth contraction has come after a robust 25%-plus average export growth since 2003. A low-to-negative growth in exports may continue for sometime until consumption revives in the developed economies. Slide 35: A slowdown in export growth also has other implications for the economy. Close to 50% of India's exports — textiles, garments, gems and jewellery, leather and so on — originate from the labour-intensive small- and medium-enterprises. Slide 36: In summary, at the macro-level, a recession in the US may bring down GDP growth, but not by much. At the micro-level, specific sectors could be affected. Innovation now may prove to be the engine for growth when the next boom occurs. For US firms, who have long looked at China as a better investment destination, this may be a good time to look at India as well. After all, 350 million people with purchasing power cannot be ignored. This is not a sales pitch for India, but only a gentle suggestion to US corporations. Slide 37: A slowdown in the us economy is bad news for India because:- Indian companies have major outsourcing deals from the us. India's export to the us also grown substantially over the years. Indian companies with big tickets deals in the us are seeing their profit margin shrinking. Share market! : Share market! IT & real estate sector : IT & real estate sector Slide 41: IT industries, financial sectors, real estate owners, car Industry, investment banking and other industries as well are confronting heavy loss due to the fall down of global economy. Inflation and psychological impact of the us crisis. benefits are missing as companies look to cut cost. India's export growth is also slowering down. one of the casualties this time are real estate, where building projects are half done al over the country and in this tight liquidity situation developers find it difficult to raise finance. Slide 42: Federation of Indian chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) found that faced with the global recession, inventories industries like garment, gems, textiles, chemicals and jewellery had cut production by 10 per cent to 50 per cent. Industrial sector! : Industrial sector! Slide 44: Government and other private companies are reluctant in starting new ventures and starting new projects. Projects that are halfway to completion, or companies that stuck with cash flow issues on business that are yet to reach break even, will run out of cash. Car, bike & truck sales down. Steel plants also cutting production. Hospitality and airlines are hit by poor demand. Slide 45: Companies in the private sector and government sector are hesitant to take up new projects. And they are working on existing projects only. Projections indicate that up to one crore persons could lose their jobs in the correct fiscal ending March. . The one crore figure has been compiled by Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO), which says that it has carried out an intensive survey. The textile, garment and handicraft industry are worse effected. Together, they are going to lose four million jobs by April 2009, according to the FIEO survey Banking sector! : Banking sector! Slide 47: Indian banks are facing through a tough time of liquidity crunch. Lehman Brothers had invested a great amount in the stocks of Indian banks that have invested in derivatives. A sudden fall in the economy directly affected Lehman and Merill, eventually forcing them to file a bankruptcy. Falling down of Lehman had a great impact on the leading international bank, ICICI Bank, a bank that had invested in Lehman's bonds. This meltdown even have covered the Axis Bank but not to a great extent. Slide 48: Lehman Brothers had signed a partnership with some of the real estate companies like Peninsula Land Ltd and DLF Assets. These have also suffered a heavy loss. With all this, the Indian Sensex swung violently downward, mainly because of the foreign companies pulling out credits to meet high inflations. Central banks have worked to improve liquidity but are charging higher credits. The interest rates have drastically increased from 11.5% to nearly about 16%. Slide 49: On the issue Mr. Manmohan Singh suggested- " A coordinated fiscal stimulus by countries that are in a position to do so would help to mitigate the severity and duration of the recession." " It would also send a strong signal to investors around the world. resort to fiscal stimulus may be viewed as risky in some situation, but if we are indeed on the brink of the worst downturn since the great depression, the risk may be worth taking," he added. Corrective Steps taken to Check Recession : Corrective Steps taken to Check Recession Slide 51: RBI needs to neutralise the outflow of FII money by unwinding the market stabilisation securities that it had used to sterilise the inflows when they happened. This will mean drawing down the dollar reserves which is important at this hour. In the IT sector, there should be correction in salary offerings rather than job cutting. Slide 52: Public should spend wisely and save more. Taxes including excise duty and custom duty should be reduced to lighten the adverse effect of economic crunch on various industries. In real estate the builders should drop prices, so as to bring buyers back into the market. Slide 53: Also, the government should try and improve liquidity , while CRR and SLR must be cut further. Indian Companies have to adopt a multi-pronged strategy, which includes diversification of the export markets, improving internal efficiencies to maintain cost competitiveness in a tight export market situation . Policy rate (02-jan-2009) : Policy rate (02-jan-2009) Slide 55: The Repo Rate has been cut by 50 bps to 5.5 % w.e.f. November 03, 2008. The SLR has been cut by 100 bps to 24.0 % w.e.f. November 08, 2008. The CRR has been cut by 100 bps in two stages.First 50 bps cut w.e.f. October 25, 2008 and another 50 bps cut from November 08, 2008. The current CRR is thus 5.5. The Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) has been further cut by 50 basis points from 5.5 per cent to 5.0 per cent from the fortnight beginning January 17, 2009. Slide 56: Reserve Ratios (2008) Cash Reserve Ratio 5%. Statutory Liquidity Ratio 24.0%. Lending or Deposit Rates (2008) Prime Lending Rate 12.75%-13.25%. Saving Bank Rate 3.5% Deposit Rate 7.50%-10.75 .

Several people have lost jobs - facing the financial problems. Government - doing best to come out of the problem. Banks are providing business loans at low rate.

RIVERDANCE star Michael Flatley paid tribute to his mam at her funeral mass today, saying: "She was the greatest mother in the world."
The dance sensation's mum Eilish passed away in a Chicago hospital just days after Christmas on December 28.
And the 81-year-old Carlow woman's final wish was to be laid to rest in Ireland.
Her funeral service was held in St Moling Church in Glynn, Co Carlow earlier today.
Flatley told mourners: "I know everybody says this, but our mother really was the greatest mother in the world.
"To us she was everything. She was so kind and caring, generous to a fault.
"Any bit of talent any of us ever got, it came from our parents. Without them we would have nothing and be nothing."
He added: "We have been blessed in our lives all five of us. We've met people from around the world.
"We've met rock stars, movie stars, presidents, kings and queens but I can tell you hand on heart today, in front of God, that I have never met a more elegant woman than my mother.
"We love you mom and we'll miss you terribly."
Afterwards, the superhoofer played a traditional Irish song on the flute for his mother.
His sister Annie added: "Mom recognised Michael's talent very early on and they worked together to make Irish dancing what it is today – and art form that is recognised the world over.
"The arts always reigned supreme in our house. My mother loved singing, dancing or anything to do with art and culture."
The church also heard how Eilish was very proud of her Irish roots and was an "Irish lady through and through."
Annie continued: "You could take Elizabeth Ryan Flatley out of Ireland but you could never take Ireland out of her.
"She spent all her adult life in the US but she was always an Irish lady through and through."
Michael Flatley Senior passed away at the age of 88 last year, with his superstar son describing him as his "hero".
The Lord Of The Dance star previously said: "My mom has been a pillar and strength through all of this.
"I loved my father, he was my hero. He was a strong Irishman, proud and driven.
"He was a bit of a workaholic and he worked seven days a week, Saturdays and Sundays included.
"All the holidays I can remember I was working too along with my mom. She answered three phones as she ran the family business and she raised five kids.
"My parents just did what they had to do and they just got it done."
Both his mum and his granny were champion Irish dancers and Flatley began taking lessons when he was eleven.
He later credited his grandmother for pushing him to succeed and as a mark of respect keeps a front row seat empty for her at all of his shows.
Flatley explained: "It was she who encouraged me to make my life special and to dance.
"Two weeks later, she died.
"The empty seat is a sign of respect to her, for I believe she is still watching me."

NSA vote will keep McConnell from this weekend's RPK dinner as Bevin works on behind-the-scenes support
ELIZABETHTOWN — One was meeting with Republican lawmakers to solidify support for a gubernatorial campaign on Tuesday despite listing the Hardin County Rotary Club's meeting on his official schedule.
The other, who spoke to about 120 Rotarians at Tuesday's luncheon, will skip the Republican Party of Kentucky's Lincoln Day Dinner this weekend in hopes of extending the National Security Agency's bulk-data collection program in a rare Sunday vote.
Regardless of their itineraries, both U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Louisville investment manager Matt Bevin will play key roles in stitching together any burst seams within the state GOP in the coming days if Bevin's slim 83-vote victory over Agriculture Commissioner James Comer stands after Thursday's recanvass.
McConnell, who beat Bevin by nearly 25 points in last year's Senate primary, twice reiterated his support for the GOP gubernatorial nominee regardless of the recanvass' result.
"Look, I think all of this is yet to be determined," McConnell told reporters when asked whether Republicans can unite behind Bevin's candidacy. "I have no reason to expect the party won't be unified, and we'll find out as we move forward."
McConnell, in explaining his absence from this weekend's Lincoln Day festivities, says he needs to travel back to Washington, D.C., on Saturday to prepare for the next day's last-ditch efforts to extend the NSA's collection of bulk phone data, an issue on which he and fellow Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul disagree.
"It's a very big issue," McConnell said. "If I were not the majority leader of the Senate, you know, I could probably wait until Sunday to go back, but I'm responsible for the schedule, I'm responsible for the Sunday session, and so nothing should be read into that (the absence from Saturday's dinner) in terms of my interest in the governor's race or any other race this fall."
Bevin, for his part, is making overtures to Republican lawmakers who did not support his candidacy. Ben Hartman, Bevin's campaign manager, said Bevin did not attend Tuesday's Rotary club meeting in Elizabethtown because of scheduled meetings with state legislators, many of whom backed Comer's gubernatorial bid.
Tom Cooper, the Rotary club's program director, told Pure Politics Bevin was not slated to speak given the lunch event's tight schedule and others who sought the governorship this year were also invited to attend, although none did.
Bevin, who won about 44 percent of the 1,469 votes cast in Hardin County in the primary, kept his meetings with lawmakers as part of his effort to unify the GOP as the party's unofficial nominee against Democratic Attorney General Jack Conway and to set a clear policy vision if his gubernatorial bid is successful, Hartman said.
"We've been meeting with a lot of them over the last couple days and we continue to do that," Hartman said in a phone interview with Pure Politics. "Throughout this campaign up to this point and going forward, Matt's proposed a very specific policy proposal. We're going to campaign on those, but if Matt's elected governor he wants to see them enacted into law."
Hartman said Bevin's conversations with state lawmakers have been "very positive," though he said prudency will limit public pledges of support given Comer's recanvass request.
"A number of legislators have reached out just in general terms to be supportive of the ticket and express their desire to work towards not only victory in November, but toward being an administration that can govern the way we want to govern if elected," Hartman said.
Comer will not have long to ponder the results of Thursday's recanvass as candidates must request recounts by Friday, 10 days after the primary. Such a request to Franklin Circuit Court, whose decision could be appealed to the Kentucky Court of Appeals, would further delay the official GOP nomination.
State Reps. Russell Webber and Jim DuPlessis, Comer campaign supporters who attended the Hardin County Rotary Club meeting, say they believe Republicans can unite behind Bevin if his victory is confirmed Thursday.
And even if Comer decides to request a recount after this week's recanvass, Webber and DuPlessis say they don't believe that will give Conway much of an edge heading into the Nov. 3 election.
"As long as this primary process drags on for the Republican Party, an uncertainty would remain over a nominee," said Webber, R-Shepherdsville. "That certainly gives the attorney general a bit of an advantage heading into the general election, but I think we have folks on all sides of the Republican primary candidates ready to come together, so I think you'll see the state Republican Party consolidating quickly behind the nominee and moving forward."
DuPlessis, who said he would not fault Comer for requesting a recount given the amount of money and effort invested in the agriculture commissioner's campaign, saw one positive to challenging the primary results in court: media exposure.
"It keeps the Republican guys in the news; it keeps their names out there," said DuPlessis, R-Elizabethtown. "Mr. Conway is sitting back and he's maybe enjoying the squabble, but you know the old adage, sometimes bad news in the public's eye because it keeps you out."
Despite the Bevin campaign's explanation of a scheduling conflict, the Democratic Governors Association took Bevin's absence Tuesday as evidence of a disjointed GOP.
"Today's bizarre turn of events shows that Matt Bevin will struggle to unite the Republican Party in Kentucky," DGA spokesman Jared Leopold said in a statement. "It's becoming clear to Kentucky voters that these claims of party unity are yet another work of fiction by Matt Bevin."

Every year in early March, over 11,000 professional registrants, thousands of fans for performing acts, and the city of Austin Texas, take part in South by Southwest (SXSW). By day, registrants take part in the Trade Show within the Austin Convention Center containing discussion panels, and booths with presence from around the world. By night, hundreds of musical acts from around the world perform, as the streets of Austin fill, and light up with entertainment.
This year, IPR sent 8 students, and one admissions representative to attend SXSW. The group consisted of students from the Audio Production and Engineering program, as well as the Entertainment Business program that IPR offers. The main goal of the trip was to take advantage of the visibility available at SXSW, allowing others from around the world to see what IPR and it's students are all about. The school had it's own Trade Show booth within the Convention Center in Austin, which provided information regarding the school itself, current students, and the school's record label, "Student Run Records."
During their six day visit, the group took part in a number of events and opportunities. Below is a list of activities that they were involved in:
- Students took part in panels within the Convention Center, covering topics such as: "Artist Question and Answer, A&R Information in 2009, and Innovations in Digital Music."
- IPR students approached people on the streets of Austin to communicate the idea behind the school with the public. Students explained their experiences from school, and what they are learning at IPR.
- Students attended live shows and interviewed participants, to find what people are listening to, and embrace different companies that are building the success of performance.
- IPR students came away from the festival with pertinent information from relevant artists. Artists were asked for their opinions about the current music industry and marketplace, and for what they have planned for their careers.
- Various group members met with company representatives in the Trade Show to talk about current internship programs for students.
The students that represented IPR will be sharing the positive outcomes and experiences from the trip on the IPR website, Facebook, Twitter, and IPR's other social networks…
"In its 22 years, SXSW has grown from a tiny music festival in the Texas capital into a massive, unavoidable media beast that reflects, discusses and showcases trends in culture and media but also often creates them." National Post, 3/13/08

Lady Wildcats earn Senior Night win
"Ken-sanity" took over the Cassville gym on Thursday night. Playing in her last home game in a Lady Wildcat jersey, Kennadi Howard scored 22 points on Senior Night to lead Cassville past Seneca, 54-39.
"After they got back within one point, we made good decisions down the stretch," said Cassville's Chris Shore.
For three quarters of play, this was one of those "never trailed, but couldn't lead by enough" games for the Lady Wildcats.
Jaime Everett controlled the tip for Cassville, then took a slick feed from Emily Speakman for a back-door layup and a quick 2-0 lead. Everett said "thanks" by returning the favor on the very next possession, and Speakman's layup created a 4-0 score.
Shore's big starting lineup of Speakman, Howard, Everett and Kelsey and Cari Vollenweider created matchup problems for Seneca, and the Lady Wildcats moved in front, 8-3. But the Lady Indians finished the period with a 7-2 rush, and Cassville led by only 10-9 at the break.
Howard went wild in the second quarter, scoring 11 points as the Lady Wildcats took a 25-16 half-time lead. The crafty senior scored Cassville's final bucket of the half with a daring baseline drive and finished with a hanging layup between defenders.
Seneca stormed back in the third quarter with a 9-4 flurry to cut the Cassville lead to 29-27. The Lady Wildcats responded with 5-1 run to end the period.

Safe Streets for Whom? Homeless Youth, Social Exclusion, and Criminal Victimization
Safe Streets for Whom? Homeless Youth, Social Exclusion, and Criminal Victimization
Although the Homeless Hub works tirelessly to bring current and up to date content to our site, access to many journal articles is constrained by the subscription restrictions imposed by publishing companies. While the Homeless Hub cannot afford to buy access to the innumerable proprietary journals we link to, we do strive, at least, to bring the knowledge of this content to our users.
Furthermore, the Homeless Hub is committed to the principles of open access and we provide free access to all original Homeless Hub content, thus offering our users the ability to re-use and re-distribute scholarly works as long as there is proper attribution to the author. We feel strongly that this serves the broader community by greatly improving the dissemination, visibility, and impact of research findings.
We will endeavour to improve upon our open access principles in order to continue to provide our users with access to the best and most current research available.
This article explores the victimization that street youth experience, living in Toronto, Canada. Street youth are much more likely than domiciled youth to be victims of various types of crimes. Specifically, young homeless women face increased vulnerability to specific forms of violent crime, such as sexual assault. Complex and numerous circumstances contribe to this high level of criminal victimization among street youth. While background variables (a history of violence), lifestyle, and routine activities theories have been used to explain criminal victimization, it is argued here that the conditions that put street youth at risk, are related to social exclusion expereinces such as restricted access to housing, employment, and public spaces.

The decision by the Church of England to disinvest from Caterpillar has been welcomed by the charity War on Want.
Institutional investors are now being urged to follow the Church's lead by disinvesting from the company whose bulldozers have been used to build the Separation Wall and destroy Palestinians' homes.
The call, from the anti-poverty charity War on Want, comes after the Church of England decision to divest £2.2 million from Caterpillar on financial grounds.
Yasmin Khan, senior campaigns officer at War on Want, said: "The Church of England's decision to disinvest from Caterpillar is welcome. It also brings the Church in line with its own ethical investment policy and the decision of the General Synod. Now other institutional investors should take similar action."
War on Want has long called for the Church of England to disinvest from Caterpillar on the grounds of the company's complicity in the violation of Palestinian human rights.
In the report Profiting From the Occupation, the charity attacked Caterpillar over selling bulldozers for the Israeli army to destroy Palestinian homes, schools, orchards and olive groves.
It said that equipment from Caterpillar was also used to construct the Separation Wall, ruled illegal by the International Court of Justice.
The UN has singled out Caterpillar for its collusion with Israel's human rights abuse.
In 2006 the Church of England General Synod voted to withdraw its investment from Caterpillar. But the Church Commissioners failed to follow the Synod's decision.
After the Israeli onslaught against Gaza in recent weeks, Palestinian civil society groups, including the charity's partner Stop the Wall, have called for an escalation of the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign against Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories.
The Church of England however is now facing pressure to sell its investments in several mining companies, worth around £80 million, after they were criticised over practices in the Philippines.
Campaigners say that they could sell these shares on "financial grounds" as their investment in one of the companies (BHP Billiton) has halved in value, and in the other (Xstrata) has plummeted by 80% over the last year.

Second alleged sex abuse victim challenge CPS decision not to prosecute Sir Cliff Richard
SEX assault charges against Sir Cliff Richard have been challenged for a second time after the CPS dropped them over insufficient evidence.
Investigations were made over allegations that the 75-year-old star abused four men between 1958 and 1983.
The Crown Prosecution Service confirmed that yet another challenge had been brought against the dropped charges.
But an application under the victims' right to review scheme was lodged by an accuser in August.
"I have always maintained my innocence"Sir Cliff Richard
The process allows an alleged victim to challenge a decision within three months of its announcement.
Officers investigating the historical sex offences were filmed searching his apartment in Berkshire in 2014.
He was publicly named as the subject of the probe.
After the investigation was first closed in June, Sir Cliff Richard said: "I have always maintained my innocence, co-operated fully with the investigation, and cannot understand why it has taken so long to get to this point."
"Nevertheless, I am obviously thrilled that the vile accusations and the resulting investigation have finally been brought to a close."
At the start of August an application under the victims' right to review scheme was lodged by an accuser.
Prosecutors would not confirm any further details of the second challenge.
Sir Cliff Richard has enjoyed a remarkable career spanning more than half a century as a singer, actor and TV star.

Narrated Aamir bin Saad (raa): that his father said, "In the year of Hajjatal-Wada', the Prophet (saws) paid me a visit while I was suffering from an ailment that had brought me to the verge of death.
I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! My sickness has reduced me to the (bad) state as you see, and I am a rich man, but have no heirs except one daughter. Shall I give 2/3 of my property in charity?'
He said, 'No.' I said, 'Then 1/2 of it?'
He said, 'Even 1/3 is too much, for, to leave your inheritors wealthy is better than to leave them in poverty, begging from people. And (know that) whatever you spend in Allah's Cause, you will get reward for it, even for the morsel of food which you put in your wife's mouth.'
I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Will I be left behind my companions (in Mecca)?'
He said, 'If you remain behind, whatever good deed you will do for Allah's Sake, will raise and upgrade you to a higher position (in Allah's Sight). May be you will live longer so that some people may benefit by you, and some others (pagans) may get harmed by you.
O Allah! Complete the migration of my companions and do not turn them on their heels; But (we pity) the poor Saad bin Khaula (raa) (not the above mentioned Saad) (died in Mecca)" Allah's Apostle lamented (or pitied) for him as he died in Mecca.
