Threats were made against Sue Scheff and a gang mentality took hold as numerous voices began to chime in.

As Scheff continued to watch the whole thing spin beyond damage control, something just as frightening would eventually snake its way into the search engines of Google; If you typed in Sue Scheff, it wasn't her website with educational articles and resources for parents that appeared at first glance, because over two pages of initial Google results led to links that took viewers to sites that were distasteful and littered with adult content.

In Sue Scheff's new book, "Google Bomb! The Untold Story of the $11.3M Verdict That Changed the Way We Use the Internet," she details this and other harrowing ordeals involving Internet defamation and cyberstalking.

After nearly losing her home to pay for her day in court, on September 19, 2006, Sue Scheff was awarded a jury decision with a landmark $11.3M verdict, a forceful warning that ruining lives with online attacks is wrong and will not be tolerated.

The new work, the result of a Women Composer's Commissioning Competition held by Melodia Women's Choir, was written by Chris Lastovicka. The music is set to poems by Kay Ryan, the current U.S. Poet Laureate. Artistic Director Cynthia Powell will conduct.

''Notes Upon the Breeze' is fresh and inspired, full of subtlety and wit,' said Powell. The choir is now in its sixth season, according to Jennifer Clarke, executive director and founder, and is performing its third commissioned work by a woman composer.

The concert, filled with radiant music that reflects the meditative sentiments of autumn, also features "Songs of the Lights" by Latvian-born Canadian composer Imant Raminsh. Five songs from 'The Princess' by Gustav Holst will be performed by the choir, along with selections from Pergolesi's "Stabat Mater", which is recognized for its beauty and musical mastery.

The choir will be joined by the string performers of the Transfiguration Quintet and Taisiya Pushkar on the piano.

Melodia Women's Choir is comprised of 35 talented women singers who are selected through an auditioning process. The choir is described as having a "rich and ringing" sound, and has performed several sold-out concerts, including at Merkin Hall.

Chris Lastovicka's work has been performed at the Boston Early Music Festival, Merce Cunningham Studio, in Spoleto, Italy, by the New York City Opera at its VOX showcase of American Composers, and elsewhere.

The mission of Melodia Women's Choir is to create, explore and perform rarely heard women's choral music and to promote opportunities for women composers and musicians.

Jennifer Clarke, founder, is an arts consultant in New York who has worked with Symphony Space, Dancing in the Streets and the American Music Center. Melodia Conductor Cynthia Powell recently conducted choral scenes for Meredith Monk's Songs of Ascension at BAM. Melodia Women's Choir has been featured on WNBC, Women's Voices for Change and Women's eNews, and has been invited twice to perform at celebrations of Women's History Month of NYC.

Funding for Melodia's commissioning program is provided by the Sorel Charitable Organization and the Joyce Dutka Arts Foundation.

ST. PAUL, MN (October 1, 2009) -- There is a safety issue on America's roads that rarely comes to light -- reduced visibility, which is a factor in 2.8 million accidents, 23,000 fatal crashes and 2,300 pedestrian deaths. As Daylight Savings Time ends, and kids hit the streets trick-or-treating, the importance of clear nighttime visibility increases.

The AAIA Car Care Council found that 26 percent of the cars it inspected had issues with their lighting system. The culprits -- headlight bulbs that dim over time and hazed headlight lens. When one bulb burns out, both bulbs should be replaced, a commonly ignored automotive maintenance step.

Millions of cars on the road today have plastic headlight lenses. As cars age and are exposed to weather, they may become hazed and yellowed, reducing the light output from the headlamp. With the average age of cars on the road about 10 years old, the problem is growing. This is a common issue on many domestic and foreign automobiles, from economy to luxury vehicles.

Automotive experts Sam Memmolo and Courtney Hansen are recommending that car owners conduct their vehicle visibility safety check this fall to determine their risks and take steps to correct their visibility problems. They are offering safety tips, project ideas and how-to videos to help consumers address this issue on www.3MCarCare.com, YouTube 3M Car Care Channel and the Facebook 3M-US Car Care group.

'When you walk through a parking lot or drive in traffic today, you see a number of cars with hazed headlights, non-working lights, streaky windshield wipers and broken sideview mirrors,' said Sam Memmolo, host of 'Sam's Garage' radio show and longtime expert on car repair and restoration. 'Every one of these cars may create a danger to the driver and other people on the road. But with some basic education about car care and maintenance, all car owners can take care of these problems before they cause accidents.'

One such business owner recently told the Financial Mail that after registering his company for VAT in April 2009 he was informed that there would be a six week wait due to a processing backlog. Despite chasing up the application on numerous occasions, he did not receive his registration until last week – almost 5 months later.

Kevin Kinsella of Kinsella Tax Investigations, one of the UK's foremost HMRC tax investigation specialists, notes that, 'If the HMRC are leaving our clients waiting for 3-5 months, this could cause a great deal of aggravation later on.'

'It used to be satisfactory to issue a VAT invoice with the words 'VAT applied for' but that is not really a VAT invoice, which again could cause problems if there was an investigation by HMRC.'

Accountancy firm UHY Hacker Young have also warned that if firms have to wait for VAT registration numbers, their ability to trade can be harshly restricted; not good news during a financial downturn.

A source at UHY Hacker Young said 'The backlog at Revenue and Customs has never been worse, despite assurances over the past few years that the issue was being resolved. These delays are causing serious problems for small business trying to set up in a tough environment and are hampering wider economic recovery.'

A spokesman for HMRC denied there were extensive problems, still stating that, on average, it takes just two weeks to process a VAT application. However, he did admit that HMRC was taking an observant approach to applications in the light of an increased number of fraudulent applications in recent years.

Kinsella Tax Limited has over 120 years' experience of the tax investigation industry and operates nationwide. For more information, visit their website at: http://www.kinsellatax.co.uk/.

ISLANDIA, N.Y., CA, Inc. (NASDAQ: CA) today announced that three executives in the company's Infrastructure Management and Automation business unit will participate in four panel discussions at Interop. The business technology conference will be held in New York November 16-20, 2009.

Stephen Elliot, vice president of strategy, will participate in a discussion entitled 'Is Automation a Killer Idea or a Career Killer?' on Wednesday, November 18 at 4 p.m. ET. Following is a summary of the session, which will be moderated by Jim Metzler, vice president, Ashton, Metzler & Associates.

The ticking time bomb for IT organizations is that today roughly 75 percent of IT resources are consumed maintaining the status quo, and that percentage creeps up every year. If IT organizations don't make some fundamental changes they will soon not be able to provide any new value-added functionality. Automation holds the promise to both improve quality and free up resources. Most IT organizations have made only modest attempts to automate as they are fearful of losing control over IT. The members of this panel will discuss what explicit functionality IT organizations can safely automate.

Elliot will also participate in a panel entitled 'The People, Process And Technology Of Next Generation Data Centers' on Thursday, November 19 at 9 a.m. ET. Following is summary of the session, which will be moderated by Doug Washburn, analyst, Infrastructure & Operations, Forrester Research.

Technologies like virtualization and automation tools are cornerstone to the next-generation data center (NGDC)—but without the proper processes and staff skills to manage them, tomorrow's data center will be no better off than today's. Likewise, even the right people and process fall short without sufficient technology investment that can minimize labor-intensive tasks. With that in mind, the NGDC is a collection of people, process and technology that support one another. This panel discussion will identify the key people, process and technology considerations to help data center managers plan for the NGDC today.

Derick Wong, senior director of product marketing, will participate in a discussion entitled 'The Language of the Cloud: Scripting and Automation' on Thursday, November 19 at 9 a.m. Following is a description of the session, which will be moderated by Alistair Croll, principal analyst, Bitcurrent.

In a cloud environment, you don't rack and stack servers anymore; instead, you click and drag them. This relieves IT operators of many physical chores, but it creates a new one: server sprawl. To deal with this, most cloud operations teams rely heavily on scripts that automate common functions such as setting up servers or migrating configurations. Those scripts, however, are often tailored to a particular cloud platform—so the same tools that were supposed to liberate IT have inadvertently locked it into a particular cloud environment. If scripting and automation are keys to the success of cloud models, they're not getting the attention they deserve. This panel looks at scripting best practices, automation, and standardization.

Tanvir Hussain, senior vice president of product management, will participate in a panel entitled 'The Impact of Cloud Computing on Network Management' on Thursday, November 19 at 10:15 a.m. Following is a summary of the session, which will be moderated by Jim Metzler.

Cloud computing has the potential to be a management nightmare. IT organizations that implement private clouds need to ensure that when they migrate a virtual machine (VM) to another server that the VM retains the same security, storage access and QoS configurations and policies it had previously. In the case of public cloud services there are at least three separate management domains: the enterprise, the WAN service provider and the various cloud computing service providers. Effective management requires that detailed, consistent management data be gathered from each of the management domains. This panel will outline what IT organizations must do to effectively manage cloud computing.

CA will showcase solutions for business-driven automation, virtualization management and cloud computing, among others, in booth 228.

Known to celebrities such as Simon Cowell and Kate Moss simply as 'Bongo Man', the man with the healing hands worked his magic on staff at Lancashire-based communications firm Daisy.

Bongo Man who had never before been to England, was flown over by businessman, Tony Ford, of Ford Campbell, to help with charity work.

Daisy paid a sum of money to enjoy Bongo Man's services for the day and staff got the chance to enjoy a bit of stress relief Caribbean-style.

Bongo Man's usual clients include celebrity tourists at the exclusive Sandy Lane resort, where he has worked for 17 years.

As well as Cowell and Moss, clients include supermodel Cindy Crawford, retail billionaire Sir Philip Green and Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood.

After meeting Daisy boss Matthew Riley - the entrepreneur who is mentored by Sir Philip Green- at an awards ceremony in Manchester he agreed to visit Daisy House in Nelson.

Bongo Man was offering his speciality head and foot massages to staff and after a sweepstake involving 70 people, ten were chosen to receive their half hour of star treatment.

Daisy CEO Matt Riley said: 'I couldn't believe it when Tony said he had flown Bongo Man over for three weeks to help with his charity work, so just had to have him in to Daisy. We now have a very relaxed, stress-free workforce!'

Tony Ford said: 'Having had a massage from Bongo Man I know how relaxing it is. He's also a great character and will help brighten up people's lives.

'Ford Campbell is committed to the North West community and we are delighted to be able to help raise vital cash for a number of extremely worthwhile charities."

'I am very pleased to lend my support and the support of The Saigh Foundation to this very worthy cause,' said JoAnn Hejna. 'Autism is a national public health crisis and families are often overwhelmed and frightened when they receive a diagnosis of autism. Now more than ever, there is an urgent need to focus our community's attention and resources on the hundreds of families in St. Louis affected by an autism spectrum disorder.'

The Saigh Foundation was founded the late Fred Saigh, a prominent St. Louis lawyer and one-time owner of the St. Louis Cardinals (from 1947-1953). Considered a visionary and leader in the St. Louis community, Saigh donated generously to many individuals and St. Louis institutions throughout his life. Saigh died in 1999 at the age of 94. A legacy to his generosity, The Saigh Foundation's mission is to enhance the quality of life in the St. Louis metropolitan region through support for charitable projects and initiatives which primarily benefit children and youth through education and health care.

'We are extremely honored to have JoAnn head this very important campaign for us,' said Ron Ekstrand, TouchPoint Autism Services CEO. 'Under her direction, The Saigh Foundation has made a very significant, tangible impact on the health and well being of our community's children and families, bringing services and support to those who need a helping hand, including the children and families served by TouchPoint Autism Services.'

According to Ekstrand, the goal of the 'All Stars for Autism' campaign is to increase community awareness and support for TouchPoint Autism Services. Throughout the month, individuals and corporations will have opportunities to show their support on many levels.

Major components of the campaign include:

An All Stars for Autism retail program
An All Stars Corporate Challenge
An All Stars Online Giving Campaign
An All Stars for Autism Day at the Ball Park and Tailgate Party

'The All Stars for Autism campaign will help build TouchPoint's capacity to provide more responsive, comprehensive and coordinated services,' Ekstrand said. 'Through the funds raised in this and other campaigns, young children will receive more timely diagnoses, assessments, and early intervention services; parents will have the support and guidance they need to navigate care for their child, make educated, timely decisions, and maintain their own emotional wellbeing; and individuals with autism will have greater access to effective treatment and support throughout their lifetime.'

Although there is no known cure for autism, TouchPoint Autism Services has succeeded in providing treatment programs that promise a brighter future for individuals with autism spectrum disorders and their families for more than 37 years. TouchPoint offers treatments and services across the entire lifespan of individuals with autism. These services include behavior and other therapies, parent training, a transitional classroom, family support services, residential options, supported employment, and adult day habilitation services.

With offices in Olivette, St. Louis City, Springfield, Cape Girardeau, Poplar Bluff, Columbia, and Joplin, Missouri, TouchPoint Autism Services reaches more than 2,500 families directly and more than 30,000 indirectly each year – making it the largest autism services provider in Missouri.

Writers and artists will appear. Actors Claudia Schneider and Abigail Ramsay will present live selections from the touring performance of "Words of Choice". Author and theater critic Alexis Greene will talk about her book, "Frontlines: Political Plays by American Women" which includes "WORDS OF CHOICE" and six other plays.

In addition, selections from the "Words of Choice" DVD will be played, and Cindy Cooper, founder and creator of Words of Choice will lead the audience through creativity exercises exploring reproductive freedom at this time.

WORDS OF CHOICE has traveled to 20 states to open new conversations about reproductive freedom. The play and DVD of Words of Choice contain the works of a dozen writers on abortion, contraception, body image, pregnancy, adoption, medical services, the Right-wing and pro-choice activism. The play selections are humorous, poignant and dramatic.

One selection, "Letters to Justice Blackmun" is composed of correspondence from a series of people -- pro and con -- who wrote to the author of the decision in "Roe v. Wade". It was compiled with the help of his daughter, Sally Blackmun. Another selection, "In the Movies," by Penny Lane, who is from Troy, gives quirky reviews of films about unwanted pregnancies, dating back to the 1930s.

In recognition of Hallowe'en, the evening will include a parody performance of "Hallowe'en Hell House" (because what could be scarier than women losing their rights?)

Audiences will be invited to discuss the subjects and to engage in participatory exercises on "What Choice Means to Me". The Troy event is part of the "Words of Choice" initiative, "Artist Investigations of Reproductive Rights," or AIRR, which brings fresh air to the choice movement.

The Sanctuary for Independent Media is a telecommunications production facility dedicated to community media arts, located in an historic former church.

The event will be the first appearance of WORDS OF CHOICE in the Upper Hudson. Earlier in October, Cindy Cooper, founder, was honored with the 2009 NARAL ProChoice America Champion of Choice Award.

EVENT DETAILS:
Frontlines: Words of Choice
at the Sanctuary for Independent Media
3361 6th Avenue
Troy, New York
Cosponsored by Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood

Back in 1957, the 'Asian Flu' pandemic spread the H2N2 strain of influenza throughout the U.S. As a result, individuals from that generation developed immunity to the H1N1 virus that is currently spreading worldwide. The biggest threat that the H1N1 Flu poses is that it targets children and young adults who have no immunity to such viral exposures. Since it is a new strain of the influenza virus and since flu vaccines are typically developed using a time-consuming biological process involving egg proteins, an effective vaccine has not only taken more time to deliver than expected, but also produced far fewer doses than needed.

To complicate the issue, there is ongoing controversy regarding the safety and effectiveness of the H1N1 vaccine. However, in addition to routine testing of the vaccine, the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) and the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) will be closely monitoring vaccination efforts for indications of unexpected adverse effects.

While, many parents may still be hesitant to get their children vaccinated, there are some basic behaviors that can help children and others at risk stay healthy. Convergence Training's accurate and entertaining H1N1 Awareness video is designed to help nearly any audience put the 2009 H1N1 Pandemic into perspective and remember some basics to help avoid getting and stop spreading the H1N1 Flu.

Randy Kohltfarber, Convergence's Director of Product Development, explains that 'Our goals for this new video are to provide information and tools that can help prevent the spread of the H1N1 Flu, reduce the potential social and economic impact on our country, and ultimately save lives.'

Known for its use of 2D and 3D graphics and distinct visual style, Convergence Training is offering this video for purchase and download in flexible, easily-sharable formats to encourage broad distribution of the training.

Developed by The Learning Key Inc., 'Matching Meanings!' is comprised of cards that are used by teams to teach participants about financial topics including budgets, credit and debit cards, IRAs and 401(K)s, credit scores, interest rates, mutual funds, and other subjects.

The 30-minute activity – which is appropriate for children, students, and employees – can be played in both small and large groups, and involves all participants in learning and reviewing financial terms.

'Matching Meanings!' (http://tinyurl.com/yj7mhtp) also teaches participants about the meanings of less positive financial terms including bankruptcy, bounced checks, default, and being overdrawn – and to be aware of potentially dangerous practices such as:

- Phishing – Electronic scam where spam or pop-up messages gain personal and financial information

- Spoofing – Reproductions of legitimate web sites or e-mails sent to you via e-mail to get personal information when you reply

- Skimming – Taking a credit card number illegally when processing the card

- Pharming – Redirects an Internet user to an identical-looking website asking for log-in information

- Vishing – Personal information, such as account numbers, given over the telephone to a bogus company

'Financial education today needs to comprise learning both good and bad outcomes and practices to fully prepare children, students, and employees to make educated decisions, and to be on the lookout for potentially harmful schemes,' said Elizabeth Treher, Ph.D., founder, President and CEO of The Learning Key Inc.

'Matching Meanings!' comes in two separate card decks. One deck is about banking, investing, budgeting, and payday (BIBP), and the other deck is about financing, credit, and identity theft (FCIT).

The Learning Key has also developed another learning tool for teaching financial education – an interactive game called Wi$eMoney®.

Wi$eMoney® (http://tinyurl.com/yjo7nqk) was created to support educators in helping young adults become financially literate. While playing, students must make choices as they are confronted with dynamic, real-world life and financial situations. Young people learn their decisions have short- and long-term consequences – just as in real life.

By playing, students learn about financial matters including managing a check register, distinguishing between needs and wants, and such unexpected life surprises as having to pay a parking ticket and needing to replace tires on the car.

Wi$eMoney® has been tested on students ages 13-24 from 22 states, and their answers have improved from 55% to 93% after playing. The game supports standard financial curricula or can be used as a stand-alone learning tool.
