Offering trade credit is important to securing export sales - but the bad debt costs of offering export credit can be high. To control these costs, export credit managers seek credit information to determine whether potential foreign buyers are acceptable credit risks. As in the domestic trade credit decision, the export credit manager seeks out information about the buyers credit character and financial strength. However, the additional country and foreign exchange risks involved in exporting extends the credit analysis to include export-specific information.Prior studies on credit information use have focused both on the various sources and items of credit information used and their relative importance. Srinivasan and Kim (1988) and Ewert (1968) provide insight into both the use and relative importance of credit information but looked only at the domestic credit decision within one firm. Talaga and Buch (1992) looked at the credit practices of European subsidiaries of US multinationals and found that they tended to use different information sources and criteria in assessing creditworthiness - even within the same multinational. However, although their findings show clearly that one-firm studies are of limited generalisability, they made no distinction in credit information use between domestic and export sales. Ross and Pike (1992) show that both domestic and export credit risk information are important in the export credit decision but do not address differential credit information use among firms. However, Ross and Pike (1995) also show that managers vary in how they view the financial costs and marketing benefits of export credit, their use of export credit insurance use, and their biodata characteristics - factors which could cause information use to vary among export credit managers. No research has been published on the sources and types of credit information used to evaluate foreign buyers or why export credit information use varies among firms.This paper moves to address this deficiency by providing a relative importance ranking of the various sources and types of credit information used by Canadian export credit managers to evaluate foreign buyers. We then go on to test for the influence of Ross and Pikes factors on export credit information use variance among firms. In so doing, this paper provides the first look at export credit information use by firms - a timely extension of our knowledge of credit information use given the increasing globalisation of firms.The professional credit literature prescribes multiple information sources which can be used for both the domestic and the export credit decision. However, Talaga and Buch (1992) have presented the only evidence of the information sources actually being used by credit managers. The 47 US subsidiaries they surveyed most often used credit reporting systems agencies, past credit history, and past sales history. In addition, they found that “numerous firms also indicated other information sources were used, including contacts with non-competing suppliers and credit collection agency reports”. Talaga and Buch go on to report that information source varied among their 19 German, 16 French and 12 Italian respondents as the Germans tended to check a wider range of sources while the French and Italian firms seemed to place more reliance on the customer in gathering data. Their respondents also indicated that past sales histories and past credit histories were generally perceived to be better than credit agency and bank reports in terms of accuracy, response rapidity, and completeness. However, it is difficult to apply Talaga and Buchs findings about credit information source use to the export credit decision as (1) they do not distinguish between domestic and export credit decisions, (2) their surveys very low response rate precludes statistically significant comparisons, and (3) they do not investigate export-specific sources of credit information. Consequently, important questions remain as to the best information sources for export credit decisions and the factors which affect information source choice.
Many experts say that having no credit can be just as bad as having bad credit, because there is no history to say if you are a good or bad risk when requesting loans. Building a good credit record is no easy task. It may be frustrating and tedious at first, but following are some tips to make the journey to credit freedom a little easier. * Try a secured card with a banking institution for 6 to 9 months. A secured card is very much like a savings account where you may put $500 down as a deposit, which serves as collateral. Some institutions will issue a credit card with a credit limit usually no greater than the amount on deposit. Make sure the issuer reports your timely payments to one of the three major credit bureaus. By using your card responsibly and paying what youve spent every month, you will see your credit score improve. * Establish credit by applying for one or two credit cards.

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.

The restaurant industry includes about 500,000 restaurants with combined
annual revenue of almost $400 billion. Major companies include
McDonalds; YUM! Brands (KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell); and Darden Restaurants
(Olive Garden, Red Lobster). The industry is highly fragmented: the 50
largest companies hold just 20 percent of the market.
The industry consists of fullservice restaurants (FSR) and limited
service eating places, which include quickservice restaurants (QSR);
cafeterias; buffets; snack bars; and non-alcoholic beverage bars.
Demographics, consumer tastes, and personal income drive demand. The
profitability of individual companies can vary: while QSRs rely on
efficient operations and high volume sales, FSRs rely on high-margin
items and effective marketing. Large companies have advantages in
purchasing, finance, and marketing.
Applications are being taken for the fourth annual Restaurant Neighbor Award.
The program was created by the National Restaurant Association to honor restaurants for their commitment to community service and innovative community projects.
“Restaurants are vital parts of every community, and many restaurant operators spend considerable effort improving their local neighborhoods,” said Robert Cliff, president and CEO of the Oklahoma Restaurant Association.

The economics and resource utilization of global SANs are critical for storage service providers. Storage area networks (SANs) have increased the availability of data for local users. In order to extend that availability to remote users, the next stage in the development of storage networking is clear: global storage networks that distribute and share storage resources over a geographically dispersed area. The SAN is becoming a mainstream storage solution because of Fibre Channel, a high-speed connection technology that can extend up to about six miles and transmit data faster than most copper cables. Storage networking allows for campus-wide storage access and separates storage-oriented data from the LAN. Storage networking minimizes the twin pillars of low availability–the single point of failure and lack of access to data. SANs are still limited, however, to the local Fibre Channel fabric. Most enterprises would welcome the opportunity to locate storage resources where space and labor are readily available and affordable. At the same time, storage-pressed sites would welcome the ability to access unallocated storage capacity at a different site. Unfortunately, current SAN technology does not support cost-effective resource management over long distances.

With the launch of the Beetle Cabrio, production at the Puebla plant is expected to rise to 350,000 units this year from 332,000 in 2002. Europes largest car maker is hoping the Beetle Cabrio, which retails above $20,000, will help re-energize the Beetle brand even as consumers embrace new compacts like the BMW Groups Mini Cooper.

Garbage TruckYou can call it garbage, trash, refuse, or solid waste. Its all the same thing, and getting rid of it has been a problem since the beginning of civilization. The earliest method of getting rid of garbage consisted of simply throwing it in a pile. As the population of an area grew, so did the need to move the garbage pile further and further away. In 500 B.C. , the Greek city of Athens established the first municipal dump in the Western world when it required that garbage be disposed of at least one mile (1.6 km) from the city walls. Other cities were not so advanced. For example, in 1400, garbage had piled up so high outside the gates of Paris, France, that it interfered with the citys defenses.The first vehicles for hauling garbage were probably two-wheeled carts drawn by animals or slaves. In the 1800s horse-drawn, four-wheeled wagons moved slowly down alleyways as garbagemen hoisted reeking barrels filled with wet garbage and dumped them into the open wagon bed. By the 1920s, motor power had replaced horse power, but little else had changed. The cry of Here comes the garbage truck was still the signal to go inside and close your windows.The postwar consumer boom of the 1950s in the United States led to a significant increase in trash. After years of restrictions and shortages during World War II, people eagerly replaced old products with new ones. Many of the new products were meant to be used once and thrown away. Paper plates, plastic cups, paper towels and napkins, disposable diapers, and brown paper lunch bags all clogged the trash cans. The refuse vehicle industry responded in the late 1950s with the development of the first enclosed refuse trucks, utilizing hydraulic rams to compress the trash as it was collected. This allowed each truck to carry more trash per load.

ADVERTISING MEDIAAUDIOThe most common audio advertising media is FM radio. Placement of an advertisement on FM radio costs about as much as an advertisement placed in a metropolitan newspaper. However, radio is more dynamic than print alternatives because it allows the advertiser essentially to talk with the consumer. Indeed, many small business consultants believe that an entertaining and informative radio advertising campaign can be a major asset. Nonetheless, some analysts contend that small business owners should proceed cautiously before deciding to rely exclusively on radio advertising. Indeed, most businesses incorporate a media mix when attempting to sell their products or services, utilizing radio advertising in concert with print and other advertising media. The key for small business owners is to study what types of advertising best suits their products and services and to use that media to spearhead their advertising campaign.Radio stations feature many different programming emphases. These range from music-oriented formats such as country, adult contemporary, classic rock, and alternative rock to news-or talk-oriented formats. Since these different formats attract different demographic segments of the total audience, business owners can take appreciable measures to reach their target audience simply by buying time on appropriate stations. Another major advantage of radio advertising is that it is inexpensive to place and to produce, allowing small business owners to place advertisements on more than one station in a given market. In addition, radio advertising content can be changed quickly to meet changes in the market or to reflect new business objectives. Finally, radio reaches large numbers of commuters, income-generating people who often pay more attention to radio advertising than to other advertising media, especially if they are driving alone.The costs associated with purchasing radio advertising time reflect this emphasis on reaching the commuter audience. The four time slots, or dayparts, offered for advertisers by most radio stations are the morning drive, daytime, afternoon drive, and evening. The two most expensivebut also most effective advertising slotsare the morning and afternoon drive times.

NEW YORK — The March issue of Incisive

lawyer Marc
Dreier’s $400 million fraud, the most brazen and spectacular
deception in law firm history. While Dreier has pled not guilty to
prosecution charges, the cover story reveals that for at least the last
four years, his professional life has been a sham, aimed at deceiving
virtually everyone he came in contact with.
“The

self-destruction, as it became progressively clearer that he was not the
high-flying litigator or convention-busting law firm innovator he so
badly wanted to be. In retrospect, what proved remarkable is that he
fooled so many people for such a long time. At the end, when his client
had found out about the phony promissory notes and the auditors lawyer
was threatening to turn him in, when the client escrow accounts had been
plundered and the hedge funds had figured out the scam, and when the
Hampton houses and the yacht and the cars and the art collection were
about to be exposed as mere props, Marc Dreier was finally ready to give
up.
In “A
Really Bad Bet,” David Bario looks at Thacher’s transformation from
a sleepy corporate shop into a runaway train fueled by the rising
secondary market for mortgage securities. Thacher became dependent on
these lucrative deals, allowing structured finance to dominate the
firms business model and refusing to consider a merger until the market
had collapsed.

Health Canada is informing Canadians and Canadian health care professionals that the labelling information of BOTOX and BOTOX Cosmetic will now include the risk of the toxin spreading to other distant parts of the body. Possible symptoms of “distant toxin spread,” which can be fatal, include muscle weakness, swallowing difficulties, pneumonia, speech disorders and breathing problems.
This update comes in light of Health Canadas recent safety review of distant toxin spread from Botox and Botox Cosmetic products. Health Canada has worked with the manufacturer, Allergan, to revise the labelling of these products on the Canadian market. It is important to note that there are no medically confirmed cases of distant toxin spread related to Botox or Botox Cosmetic in Canada.
Health Canada would also like to advise Canadians using Botox and Botox Cosmetic products to seek immediate medical care if swallowing, speech or breathing disorders arise. Canadians with a history of underlying neurological disorders, swallowing difficulties and/or breathing problems should use these products with extreme caution. Botox and Botox Cosmetic products should only be used under specialist supervision in those patients and should only be used if the benefit of treatment is considered to outweigh the risk.
Botox and Botox Cosmetic, manufactured by Allergan Inc., is the only botulinum toxin products marketed in Canada. Botox is indicated for the treatment of muscle spasms in the neck, eye and foot, muscle pain, and excessive sweating. Botox Cosmetic is indicated for cosmetic purposes, to treat facial wrinkling.
Patients using Botox and Botox Cosmetic products should consult with their physician if they have any questions or concerns.
It was just discovered that the administration
of fake Botox injections was the cause of death of a Salinas, CA woman who
died several months ago. The deceased woman had received fake Botox
injections from her hairstylist, who was also an unlicensed practitioner.
The hairstylist, Martha Vasquez, 39, has since been arrested and is
awaiting possible manslaughter charges.
Authorities believe Vasquez advertised the fake Botox injections to
customers who were seeing her for haircuts, and administered the injections
at her clients homes.
Botox injections are one of the most popular and commonly administered
cosmetic treatments. Thousands of people are injected with Botox everyday
to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Despite the fact that Botox
injections have become so widely available and treatments are now subject
to price wars, what happened in California confirms that consumers of Botox
need to take precautions.
Patients must ensure they are receiving treatment from not only licensed
medical providers, but providers who are properly trained and qualified.
Consumers should conduct research prior to choosing a qualified provider
for Botox, as well as for all cosmetic medical treatments. When it comes
to medical treatment — the least expensive choice is not only not the
wisest, it is also not always the safest.
Patients should also be proactive in ensuring that the Botox they are
receiving is authentic. “Allergan has a number of measures in place to
ensure the integrity and authenticity of BOTOX, and there are important
steps patients should take to protect themselves from unscrupulous and
unethical practitioners,” said Douglas S. Ingram, Allergans Executive
Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary.

“Specops Password Policy 2.0 is the biggest update to Active Directory
password policies to date,” said Robert Lundh, CEO of Special Operations
Software. “Using Specops Password Policy 2.0 an organization can utilize
the existing Active Directory and Group Policy infrastructure and
substantially increase the password security within the organization.”
Specops Password Policy 2.0 is a password policy system based on the Group
Policy technology in Active Directory and enhances the built-in password
policy of Windows. Specops Password Policy 2.0 provides 20 different
settings from which to choose when configuring a password policy.
Active Directory without and with Specops Password Policy
Currently in Active Directory, the built-in password policy must be
configured on the domain level, in the Default Domain policy or similar.
Consequently there can be only one password policy throughout the domain
and it can only be configured by a domain administrator. Specops Password
Policy is truly Group Policy based and can consequently be configured in
any number of group policies. This has several advantages:

LAS VEGAS — Lieberman
Software today announced a software integration initiative that will
enable its privileged account management solutions, Enterprise Random
Password Manager and Random Password Manager, to tightly integrate with
Microsoft System Center to give enterprises the power to securely manage
local administrator and cross-platform root accounts for GRC compliance.
Many organizations set their local privileged accounts to the same name

of internal and external threats, this decision can lead to the total
compromise of security and compliance. This integration gives enterprise
organizations the ability to securely manage powerful privileged
accounts from within the System Center environment.

Burris Life Coaching Develops a New Definitive Standard for Life Coaching LAS VEGAS — Until now, there has not been a clear definition or standard for the term Life Coach. Everyone agrees that Life Coaching is about helping people set and accomplish their goals. The new Definitive Standard of Burris Life Coaching and the old standard definition now have a major difference. * Life Coach Definition from Dictionary.com - An advisor who helps people with problems, decisions, and goal attainment in daily life. * Burris Life Coach Definition - A Burris Life Coach guides people through a clinically proven process on how to change subconscious programming to match their conscious goals. “The reason one must address the process of the subconscious when setting a goal is the subconscious runs approximately four times faster than you can speak,” said Master Life Coach Kelly Burris. “This is why you can type or drive while talking on the phone because the subconscious is already programmed to do the other tasks.”

Japanese Corporate Newswire (JCN) provides corporate press releases to a variety of online media outlets.
Abstract MicroCog test results and supplemental neuropsychological test findings are reported concerning a male health professional who had abused nitrous oxide (N2O) on a regular basis for more than 20 years. At the time of the examination, the health professional had abstained from N2O use for 12 months. Test findings indicate that the patient had suffered a general decrement in cognitive functioning. Spatial functioning and reaction times were better preserved than attention, mental control, verbal and arithmetic reasoning, and verbal memory. His verbal memory loss was particularly severe, but abstract reasoning and practical social judgment remained intact. Marked visual memory and construction deficits were identified with supplemental clinical tests. Since 12 months of abstinence had elapsed prior to the examination, it may be reasonably assumed that cognitive recovery was nearly complete and the findings reported are stable. Key Words: chronic substance abuse, nitrous oxide abuse, cognitive deficits, neuropsychological deficits Nitrous oxide ([N.sub.2]O) abuse is rarely seen in the general practice of clinical and forensic psychology. Also, little has been reported on the cognitive consequences of chronic [N.sub.2]O abuse. For this reason, we offer the results of a neuropsychological evaluation completed in a VA Medical Centers Outpatient Behavioral Medicine Clinic on a chronic abuser of [N.sub.2]O.
GENEVA — Heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere reached a record high in 2005 and are still increasing, the U.N. weather agency said. The measurements coordinated by the World Meteorological Organization show that the global average concentrations of carbon dioxide, or CO2, and nitrous oxide, or N2O, reached record levels last year and are expected to increase even further this year, said Geir Braathen, a climate specialist at the Geneva-based agency. “There is no sign that N2O and CO2 are starting to level off,” Braathen said Friday at the global bodys European headquarters. “It looks like it will just continue like this for the foreseeable future.” The concentration of carbon dioxide rose by about 0.5 percent last year to reach 379.1 parts per million, according to the agency. Nitrous oxide has totaled 319.2 parts per billion, which is 0.19 percent higher than in 2004. Levels of methane, another so-called greenhouse gas, remained stable since last year, Braathen said. Water vapor is the most common greenhouse gas, followed by CO2, N2O — produced by natural sources as well as fertilizers, tree burning and industry — and methane — produced by wetlands and other natural and human processes. There is 35.4 percent more carbon dioxide since the late 18th century primarily because of human burning for fossil fuels, the WMO statement said.
