Do you remember the days when a coach was the name used for the person who was responsible for leading an athletic team? Some of us may even remember coaches as a mode of transportation, as in a stagecoach or a motor coach. Now the word, coach, is used in a multiplicity of ways. You can easily find people who are anxious to serve as your personal coach, executive coach, lifestyle coach, fitness coach, birthing coach, or spiritual coach. The list goes on and on. So it should be no surprise that coaching has become a part of the world of family-owned businesses. Given the large number of people who call themselves family business coaches, how can a family business owner determine who is best qualified to meet the particular coaching needs his or her business might have? Furthermore, how would the business owner select a family business coach? In fact, is it even important to utilize the expertise of a family business coach?

WHAT IS CORPORATE EDUCATION?This report discusses the extensive education and training programs established and run by corporations and other organizations, largely profitmaking enterprises whose primary purpose is something other than education, in the context of traditional higher education. As used in this report, “corporate education” is education offered by a business or industry for its own employees.HOW EXTENSIVE IS CORPORATE EDUCATION?Corporate education is an extensive, multifaceted endeavor, costing billions of dollars, educating millions of people, and absorbing many working hours annually.It is estimated, for example, that approximately $30 billion to $50 billion is spent on formal employee education and $180 billion on informal, on-the-job, education. Employees in companies with 500 or more employees–4.4 million people–can expect to receive frequent instruction paid for and provided by their employers.IS CORPORATE EDUCATION A THREAT TO HIGHER EDUCATION?As colleges and universities strive to respond to the needs of nontraditional students, they often find that corporate educators have preceded them. Corporations, with the assistance of the American Council on Education and the New York Board of Regents, have had their courses evaluated, frequently leading to the granting of credit for corporate coursework by colleges and universities.Courses offered by corporations range from remedial to postgraduate level management and technical courses. Corporations have even founded their own colleges, known as “corporate colleges.” These educational efforts potentially could threaten the health, and devalue the worth of, higher education, but in fact, corporate education is compatible with–indeed complements–traditional higher education. Higher education in the United States has been responsive to the needs of the workplace since the beginning of the federal period. The prevailing dialogue in higher education has long been the weighing of tradeoffs–practically and philosophically–between general education and what now is called “career education.” The formal recognition of instruction independent of the providers is a multifaceted and complex enterprise on the postsecondary education scene in and of itself. These efforts have accomplished two things. First, the structural conformity of noncollegiate instruction with collegiate instruction (for example, associating credit hours with contact hours) facilitates transfers and students mobility and opens up an array of potential cooperative efforts between businesses and colleges. Second, they have served as a major channel of communication between school and corporation about educational content and methods. This report presents the interaction between corporate education and these recognition processes, a path by which noncollegiate education can wend its way into the most traditional patterns of higher education. Innovations find their way into higher education in five ways, one of which is when external institutions appear on the scene to challenge, titillate, and/or draw attention to significant issues.The emergence of corporate education with its interest in formal recognition offers opportunities and challenges to higher education in the way it teaches, the students it seeks, and the perception of the purposes of education. The growth of corporate education is a stimulus to both internal collegiate debates and public policy decision making.WHAT CAN BE EXPECTED FROM THE PROLIFERATION OF CORPORATE EDUCATION?Many profitable educational ventures have been initiated that were provoked by employers recognition of their responsibility for developing their employees. The American University, for example, using its own faculty, offers an MS in toxicology at Litton Industries, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology cooperates in an education program with IBM and Digital Equipment. An indirect benefit to colleges resulting from an increased awareness of conditions in higher education on the part of business and industry has been the use of modern technology by colleges and universities to educates future employees. And a national discussion on the role of colleges and universities in American society has been stimulated by heightened awareness of shared national needs.

The laser industry is poised for substantial growth, reports Frost Sullivan (Mountain View, CA). Global demand for industrial laser systems should grow from $1.2 billion in 1992 to more than $2 billion by the end of the decade. Major technical trends include higher power for sealed carbon dioxide (CO sub 2 ) laser systems and Nd:YAG laser systems, new crystals for tunable solid-state laser systems, blue diode lasers with output near 623 nm, and 193 nm excimer lasers for industrial applications. These new laser technologies are replacing existing laser systems as well as other manufacturing techniques. Examples include using tunable solid-state lasers instead of dye lasers and diode lasers in place of helium neon (HeNe) laser systems.In related news, the US Department of Energys Argonne National Laboratory (Argonne, IL), operated by the University of Chicago, and Spawr Industries (Lake Havasu City, AZ), a specialist in high-power laser technology, are partners in a two-year project to improve lenses and mirrors to shape laser beams for industrial use. The cooperative RD agreement also may improve laser thermal simulation in testing components found in jet engines and particle accelerators for their ability to withstand heat.The projects primary focus is improving Spawrs radiometric power meter for high-energy lasers. The conventional measurement method takes 10 sec to absorb the total laser beam; the Spawr instrument measures laser power in one second by sampling a known fraction of the laser light and has a wider application range. Additional research areas include improving coatings for Spawrs laser dump to handle high-power density laser beams. The dump absorbs laser energy while a beam is tuned for a specific application.An example of Nd:YAG lasers displacing conventional processing comes from the Raycon Laser Group (Ann Arbor, MI), developers of a flexible system for laser scribing and drilling powder-metal (PM) connecting rods. Two stress risers (the starting points for fracture splitting the lower crankshaft journal bore from the upper journal bore) are created by producing V-shaped notches 180deg apart in the crank bore. The rods–consisting of carbon copper, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, silicon, chromium, nickel, oxygen, and iron–offer greater precision performance, improved weight accuracy over conventional metal rods, and reduced manufacturing costs. Prior scribing methods–broaching the V-shaped notch or producing it with a forging die–required higher forces to split the rods.The laser scribing process begins at the bottom of the journal surface and moves upward to blow slag through the kerf. The inside journal surface is mounted at 45deg to the beam to allow for nozzle clearance. Kerf width is between 0.008 and 0.010″ (0.20 and 0.25 mm), and depth is 0.020-0.030″ (0.51-0.76 mm). Feed rate, which affects kerf depth and the slag buildup, is 60 ipm (1524 mm/min). To help produce a clean scribe, oxygen assistance at 70 psi (480 kPa) and a high-power YAG at 120 W also are used. According to Raycon, the force required to fracture a laser scribe stress riser is only 3000-8000 lb (13 500-35 500 N), whereas the force required for a broach scribe is 18,000 lb (80 000 N). The V-shape method is economical because it reduces the stages of manufacturing, increases the load-bearing capability of the part, and produces a perfect fit between the rod and cap.

CARLSBAD, Calif. — First System to Link Business Policy Objectives Directly to Technical Checks to Automate Security Compliance Reporting Preventsys Inc., the leader in security risk management and automated security compliance reporting, today launched the Preventsys Security Risk Management system to provide security professionals and executives with unprecedented visibility into their organizations IT risk and compliance profile. Available immediately, the new system is comprised of the Preventsys Security Risk Manager and the Preventsys Automated Security Compliance Reporter, two separate applications that reduce costs, manage IT security risks and automate reporting on compliance to published security standards and custom business policies. IT Security Risk Management (SRM) is defined as the complete process of understanding threats, prioritizing vulnerabilities, limiting damage from potential attacks, and understanding the impact of proposed changes or patches on the target systems. According to IDC estimates, the IT SRM market is expected to grow from $328 million in 2005 to $500 million in 2007. The new Preventsys Security Risk Manager consolidates vulnerability, configuration and threat data with its RiskScore(TM) Engine into a prioritized list of critical remediation tasks. This reduces the amount of data security professionals need to analyze by up to 98%, making it easy to identify the top 2% of risks for remediation. According to a Gartner research report entitled, Sarbanes Oxley Spending Continues to Disrupt Software Purchases by Tom Eid, Joanne M. Correia, and French Caldwell, “through 2007, companies that choose one-off solutions for each regulatory challenge they face will spend 10 times more on IT solutions for compliance than their counterparts that take a sustainable program-office-based approach. Sustainable compliance, that is, a level of effort that is sufficient but not excessive, will only be achieved by consolidating compliance efforts through a programmatic rather than project oriented approach.”

Georgetown Journal of Legal Ethics is an academic publication providing coverage and analysis of law.
Most debates about lawyers professional responsibilities ultimately devolve into discussions of the “role” of lawyers-including the functions lawyers serve in the legal system, how lawyers should achieve those functions, and how lawyers should reconcile conflicts between competing interests that are potentially affected by their conduct. The notion of a lawyers role can be helpful for identifying principles of behavior. Thus, for example, whether attorney-client confidentiality is appropriate and whether exceptions should be acknowledged depends on the conception of lawyers from which one starts. If lawyers are to be clients sole and fully-allied champions, then strict confidentiality rules make sense. If lawyers are to be objective intermediaries between clients and society and have independent obligations to the law, exceptions seem more acceptable. The task of code drafters is facilitated when they can proceed from the assumption that a single paradigm governs the lawyers role-either a paradigm encapsulating a theory of behavior (how lawyers ordinarily act) or a paradigm encapsulating a normative ideal (how lawyers should act). When code drafters rely upon multiple paradigms (for example, lawyers should act as clients alter egos and as officers of the court), inconsistent regulatory mandates can result, and lawyers may become confused about their functions. The ABAs 1908 Canons of Ethics, which prevailed in most American jurisdictions throughout the early twentieth century, suffered from an emphasis on inconsistent ideals.1 The bar was in a state of disagreement about lawyers roles and lawyers had no point of reference for determining how to act.2 Therefore, when the ABA adopted the first concrete professional code in 1969,3 it became important for the drafters to identify an over-arching theory. By emphasizing the lawyers place in the adversarial system, the 1969 code served a forceful unifying and educational function.4 Nevertheless, an ethics codes overemphasis on a single paradigm can lead to undesirable results. It tends to produce idealized rules that either rest on counter-factual assumptions or impose obligations on lawyers that are so inconsistent with their personal incentives that violations become routine. In modern times, an exclusive focus on the adversarial ethic seems less important than in 1969 because lawyers have developed a shared sense of core obligations to clients and of the part lawyers play in the legal system. The recent history of lawyer regulation reflects a desire on the part of the bar to fine-tune the basic message of the 1969 code-to recognize more nuances than, perhaps, a single image of lawyers can accommodate.5 The task of drafting professional rules is complicated by the fact that the public perception of the bar is not unitary. Society views lawyers in many different, and sometimes inconsistent, ways. These multiple conceptions influence code drafters. In practice, the modern legal ethics codes incorporate a number of “images” of lawyers as bases, or catalysts, for disciplinary rules. Relying on these images has consequences for how the codes treat lawyers and, as a theoretical matter, for how the rules should be drafted. Part I of this Article identifies some of the different images of lawyers that exist6 and the ramifications of emphasizing each image in the professional codes. Initially at least, this Article takes no position on the accuracy of the images in describing lawyer behavior-for example, whether lawyers act in a selfinterested manner or whether lawyers feel bound by unenforceable professional norms. As a practical matter, each of the images has solid footing in some respects. That is to say, each is based on a valid characterization of how lawyers act in some situations. Part I will suggest, however, that relying upon multiple paradigms inevitably fosters schizophrenia on the part of the code drafters.

Covers a wide variety of issues related to alternative medicine, with a focus on the changing needs of healthcare professionals.
ROCHESTER, Mich. — A breakthrough survey conducted by Foresight Research quantifies the
automotive sales impact of print articles and print advertising. Then it
compares print articles and print advertising influence to other forms
of marketing communications used by auto buyers.
The study shows that the majority of vehicle buyers (62%) are influenced
to some degree by print articles, and 45% are influenced to some degree
by print advertising. 19% said print articles were a primary or secondary
purchase influence, and 8% reported that print advertising was a primary
or secondary influence.
“We also noted the influence by vehicle brand purchased and found that
BMW, Cadillac, Acura, Lexus, Infiniti, Hyundai and Mazda lead the brands
in terms of impact from print articles. Then we looked at the print
advertising side and many of the same brands appear. The reason is that
buyers are paying attention to both the articles and the ads,” says
Steve Bruyn, CEO of Foresight Research.
So, what are the most influential publications? Consumer Reports and
newspapers are widely influential but so are some of the automotive
publications like – Car and Driver, Motor Trend, Automobile Magazine,
Road and Track and Autoweek. “This study proves that print publications
still play a role in this electronic era,” stated Bruyn.
Covers photographic techniques, exhibitions, product evaluations, news and ” how-to-do.”

The first new exhibit at the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas since Hurricane Katrina opened Thursday. Adventure Island features an interactive, educational play zone designed for children and adults. Aquarium officials said the highlight of the exhibit is a 2,600- gallon pool where visitors can touch cow-nose stingrays. Each day, the aquarium selects a handful of guests to feed the stingrays. The exhibit is located in the Changing Exhibits Gallery on the second floor of the Aquarium.
As a teen-ager, Louie Ortiz first started working on aquariums through his job at a pet shop. That job led to his future career. “A lady came in who wanted someone to take care of her aquarium, so I did,” Ortiz said. “Then someone else needed someone and pretty soon I was making more money doing that than at the pet store.” Ortiz is CEO of West Coast Aquariums Industries, a manufacturer of high-end custom acrylic aquariums as well as installing aquariums for commercial, public, and residential sites worldwide. They also manage a network of independent aquarium-service businesses, distribute aquarium filtration systems, furniture and lighting, fish, coral and synthetic coral structures, and aquarium furniture. Clients include Hyatt Hotels, Nordstrom, Rubios restaurants, Saturn Car Co., and the U.S. Marines. West Coast Aquariums provided two large aquariums for Foxs new TV show, “Method and Red Man.”

One San Diego-based online company has unveiled a new concept in coupon clipping — coupons over the Internet. CouponVine.com describes itself as a national coupon directory. With CouponVine.com, a merchant can create, modify, or delete coupons for free, said Nathan Hiller, a company spokesman. Merchants using CouponVine.com have more than 500 templates to choose from in creating a coupon. Consumers logging on to CouponVine.com can then search for coupons by category and ZIP code. When they find a coupon of interest, they can print it out and redeem it at the merchants store, Ruler said. The Web site includes a map and directions to the store, he added. With traditional coupon distributors, businesses must pay for the service, and once printed, the coupons cant be changed. This discourages small merchants from offering coupons, Hiller said.

A newer cleaning paradigm is taking the place of traditional weekly cleaning. This method eschews deep cleaning and a regular cleaning schedule, and replaces it with spot cleaning, often with the goal of “clean enough” rather than deeply clean. This type of cleaning is favored by young people, whites, and the wealthy, and is ushering in strong sales of newer formats of cleaning products such as household cleaner cloths. In this report, these two styles of cleaning are discussed, as well as preference for specific cleaning products among respondents of different age, gender, race, household size, and cohort group. Also discussed is brand preference. Topics covered in detail in this report include uptake of disposable cleaner cloths, interest in child-safe and environmentally friendly products, unscented product, antibacterial product, and interest in private label products. This report clearly identifies the principal external factors driving or curtailing growth. Exclusive consumer research reveals the attitudes, needs and behavior of consumers, with analysis broken down both by demographic characteristics, and by segment. Six years of specific sales data provide a factual and impartial presentation of the market as a whole. The report also evaluates the performance of individual sectors in the market, and provides information about the major companies and brands. Using the SPSS forecasting package, a five-year forecast of U.S. retail sales is created, revealing potential opportunities for growth and product development.

Life Settlement Solutions, Inc. is one of the largest and most respected
life-settlement providers in the industry. A premier firm in the
non-viatical life-settlement field, Life Settlement Solutions and its
management represent one of the most experienced institutionally funded
life-settlement companies, having collectively purchased life insurance
policies in excess of $2 billion in aggregate face value to date.
Since the late 1980s, the increased turnover and exposure associated with payment settlements has led to a stronger focus on risk and to major changes in the organisation of payment systems, both nationally and internationally. In order to reduce settlement risk, standards were introduced for net settlements. The most important of these is the Lamfalussy standard (BIS 1990)2) . Net settlements must satisfy six recommendations concerning legal, organisational, liquidity and operational conditions in order to be regarded as protected net settlements according to this standard. In the Trundle Report (BIS 1999 and 2001) these recommendations have been made more specific and expanded to the ten BIS Core Principles for Systemically Important Payment Systems. The Trundle recommendations encompass both gross and net settlements and also contain recommendations concerning the central banks role in the payment system and responsibility for the implementation of the core principles. Central to both Lamfalussy and Trundle recommendations is the requirement that it must be possible to make a settlement even if the bank with the largest net debit position lacks cover. The principle is that settlement execution should be assured by the other participants supplying liquidity on behalf of the illiquid participant (collective guarantee). The amount of liquidity individual participants have to supply will tend to depend on the size of the bilateral credit lines they have given the bank that cannot meet its commitments. It must be assumed that in principle a bank will not provide lines of credit that cause it to have problems meeting its own commitments. However, the possibility of more than one participant failing cannot be excluded. In such cases, even protected net settlements may involve too great a risk. In consequence it is recommended that real time gross settlement (RTGS) be used for large-value payments.
