Like most large organizations, Assurex Global struggled with how to share its collective brainpower and information with the rest of the enterprise. Finding specialists among Assurex Global's 20,000 insurance professionals was an informal, inefficient and often ineffective process. After trial-and-error with various horizontal customer relationship management solutions touting collaboration capabilities, Assurex Global began looking for alternatives. Months of research and careful evaluation led the company to choose a Web-based software platform from ProspX Inc. Designed specifically for the commercial insurance industry, the solution combines enterprise social networking and search engine technologies to enable Assurex Global firms, for the first time, to connect and collaborate in re...
In his State of the Union Address, President Obama called for Republicans and Democrats to build a country that can "out- innovate, out-educate and out-build the rest of the world." To meet this challenge, members from both sides of the aisle need to come together to close a gap that is even wider than the partisan divide - the skills gap. Across the country, business leaders, policymakers and educators report a growing gap between the skills that students have learned in school and the skills that they need to succeed in the 21st century knowledge economy. At a time of high unemployment, the United States cannot afford to wait to address this urgent educational and economic challenge.
I started looking around at this team- I just saw the aspects of a great basketball team we could have," [Patrick Patterson] says. "And I'm like, Do I really want to go? It was playoff time, the series between the Celtics and the Bulls, and I'm watching that and I'm like, I'm not ready. I'm confident in my game, but in the areas of the game where I'm weak I haven't improved that much. And the area of the game I need improvement, Coach CaI is perfect at.
For the past nine years, the Student Celebration of the Visual Arts (SCVA) has reflected the creative and artistic minds of students throughout Western New York. This year's show was held last weekend at the University at Buffalo Center for the Arts. The show featured more than 500 pieces of artwork from 36 different schools, as well as performing music groups from Williamsville North and City Honors high schools. All media of visual art were used, from photography and 3-D sculpture to silk- screen and oil pastel. The goal of SCVA has been "to bring as many Western New York schools together through the art department in grades kindergarten through college," according to Brad Curcio, founder and organizer of SCVA.
In some ways, [Lisa Wachholz] sees the interest in more natural lifestyles as coming full circle, back to the healthier lifestyles of our predecessors. "My mother grew up in northern Wisconsin, and they ate nothing but natural food. There was nothing processed at all" In the 1970s, when Wachholz was raising her own children, there was plen- ty of processed food around, but Wachholz was part of the "back-to-the-land" movement of the late '60s and eaiiy 70s. "All our friends from college were doing it. We moved out to the country, grew our own food, milked goats, had chickens, an organic garden. The term "holistic" generally refers to the pursuit of wellness by addressing the needs of the whole person - physical, men- tal and spiritual. But HMN has chosen not to strictly define which pra...
Normally, Junius and Lenora Gaither are spotted together at community and social events and shopping outlets, but come Sunday mornings, the northwest Roanoke couple, married 57 years ago, usually go their separate ways. She's a Baptist; he's a Methodist. The Gaithers have worked in their respective churches for a cumulative total of nearly 130 years.
The primary research goal of the PRD is to understand the molecular reaction mechanisms of proteins, how they result in interactions, and how these interactions cause specific cellular responses or behaviour. Since defects in these interactions are responsible for many serious diseases, including cancer, the acquired understanding at the atomic level should eventually result in tailored drugs for molecular therapy or the identification of protein biomarkers.
The heat and a few rain sprinkles didn't stop neighborhoods in McKeesport, Munhall and Wilmerding from celebrating National Night Out, an event Matt A. Peskin conceived in 1984. It's a wonderful opportunity for communities nationwide to promote police-community partnerships, crime prevention, and neighborhood camaraderie," Peskin, executive director of the National Association of Town Watch, said.
The impending merger between media and television conglomerates NBC and Comcast is a prime example of a deal where both companies are opening themselves up to new risks. Merging two major companies is no simple task to begin with, and the risk management process is further complicated by the fact that both players belong to the media industry -- a sector rife with liability exposure. Whether dealing with nationwide television powerhouses or smaller-scale outlets, anyone tasked with navigating a media industry M&A should consider the following four questions during the due diligence process: 1. What are the new exposures? 2. Are there any outstanding liability issues? 3. Does each company have its own privacy/data security policy? 4. Are there any gaps in the current insurance portfo...
