Join us for an informative discussion on how companies can leverage compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2004 to gain strategic advantage.
Initial SOX compliance has been painful. Many organizations have invested significant time and money in their efforts. As companies finish their second year of SOX compliance, they are realizing that they have embarked on a governance journey to gain strategic value from compliance. Companies in the forefront of this journey are leveraging technology to move from passive to active compliance in order to gain greater transparency through more accurate, reliable and timely financial and business information....

In the earliest days of the Internet explosion, Scot Combs and his partners had a great idea. They would build an online radio network to super-serve Internet listeners around the world. Netradio.net was born, built and attracted as many as 50 million listens per month; a feat, as yet, unequaled.
Now Combs has turned his sights on the world of podcasting with “Martial Arts Explorer”, the world’s first video podcast dedicated to classical martial arts. The program is produced by Full Circle Media (division of Full Circle Defense Training Corporation, a non-profit also founded by Combs) and is served by The Podcasting Network of Melbourne, Australia. Combs is the executive producer and host. Thousands of people are already viewing the programs, which are updated weekly.

Xtalks.com announces that Aveksa Founder, Deepak Taneja will deliver his complimentary On Demand webinar "Managing the Challenge of Roles-Based Access Governance" aimed at the European Banking/Finance sector.
Although roles-based access control (RBAC) has been the subject of much interest in the past, experience with it has been mostly disappointing. Dealing with the complexity of managing roles at the infrastructure level (applications, data, files, file shares, host and network level) is daunting to organizations, and an obstacle to deploying effective roles-based governance. Role design is best done from the top down as roles should first and foremost relate to business process. As compliance is written from a business process perspective, this approach will make it easier to achieve compliance with various regulations.... (Continue reading)

GrandCanyon.com’s First Annual Summer Travel Guide doesn’t say how big the Grand Canyon is, how wide it is, or how it was formed. And that’s fine by Karlyn Bunting, President of GrandCanyon.com, because “those aren’t the questions our customers ask. They ask us questions like ‘Where is the Grand Canyon?’ ‘How on Earth do I get there?’ ‘What’s the weather going to be like?’ and ‘Will my cell phone work?’”
Like their highly successful Spring Break Travel Guide (now in its 2nd Edition), GrandCanyon.com’s newly released Summer Travel Guide is available as a downloadable Adobe PDF format file on the company’s website. A “companion piece” to their popular “Grand Canyon Top Tours” brochure, the Grand Canyon Summer Travel Guide is full of practical information that travelers need, such as which airports to fly into, driving distances from major cities, and what to expect from the weather. In addition to the basic “How To’s,” the guide also offers many “insider tips” that Karlyn and his staff have gleaned from decades of living and working around Grand Canyon National Park. ...

Planning for successors in family-owned businesses often ignores an important caveat—deal with family issues first, advises Strategic Designs for Learning (SDL).
Too frequently, management consultants working with family companies create plans that focus on business issues. Yet first addressing family dynamics is key to developing a successful succession plan, according to Renée Montoya Lado, founder of SDL, family business consultants and coaches.
"Succession is one of the biggest issues with family businesses and frequently where things can fall apart," said Lado. "Selecting a successor often predicts future profitability. Yet the succession plan, and even the business' future, can be derailed when family expectations and concerns about future leadership are not addressed."... (Continue reading)

Eating healthy and losing weight are perennially two of the most popular New Year's resolutions. But for most of us, these are the hardest resolutions to keep . Why? Because historically losing weight meant feeling hungry and eating less of the things that taste great. But it doesn't have to be that way! There's a simple solution to prevent New Year's resolution failure in 2007 -- it's called satiety.
Satiety-enhancing foods -- those that keep people feeling full longer -- were cited as one of 2007's top trends by Datamonitor's Productscan Online. LightFull Satiety Smoothie is one of the first foods created specifically to address the role of satiety. Foods higher in fiber and protein take longer to digest, and keep people feeling full longer, with fewer calories. LightFull smoothies are only 90-100 calories and packed with a whopping five-six grams of fiber and six grams of protein -- that's more fullness per calorie than any other snack on the market....

And evidence shows it just may be working.
One Backword Books novel, "Homefront" by Kristen J. Tsetsi, was recently profiled on NPR, on NBC TV's "Better Nashville," and in the Stars and Stripes, a newspaper distributed worldwide to U.S. military, Department of Defense civilians, contractors, and their families.... (Continue reading)
