New Techmeme Leaderboard Lauches



I like it! Gabe talks about his concerns about it here that. And to Gabe I say this, don’t worry about the criticism, you’re clearly the leading service out there and any conversation will only lead to new things. The thing Techmeme does best is eliminate the obsolete imaginary lines that some people still imagine between news and blogs.


My only wish is that the leaderboard went deeper a few hundred more blogs and more highly factored in those that provided commentary on the breaking news (that’s what I click on when I visit Techmeme) - the overfocus on a few mega blogs is ultimately not healthy - not Gabe’s fault but a problem area.

The National Construction Safety Executives Forms a New Alliance With OSHA



The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the National Construction Safety Executives (NCSE) have formed a new Alliance to provide employees in the construction industry with information, guidance and access to training resources to protect and encourage employee safety and health. The Alliance between OSHA and NCSE further solidifies our commitment to protecting the safety and health of employees, particularly those new to the construction industry, said Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA Edwin G.

OSHA Issues Guidance on the Selection and Use of Slings for Handling and Moving Materials



The new guidance from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) will help employers select and use the appropriate slings when handling and moving materials. The document, Guidance on Safe Sling Use, was released today by the agency. OSHA's current general industry standard is more than 30 years old, said Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA, Edwin G. Foulke, Jr. This guidance document will aid users in the safe selection and use of slings, including synthetic round slings, which are not covered in OSHA's standard, as well as the newer grades of materials being used in alloy steel chain and wire rope slings. OSHA adopted its general industry sling standard on June 27, 1975, based on ANSI B30.9-1971 Slings standard. OSHA has since made only minor corrections. OSHA issued its construction industry sling standard on February 9, 1979, and its sling standard for shipyards on April 20, 1982.

FDA Warns of Potential Serious Side Effects with Breakthrough Cancer Pain Drug



The Food and Drug Administration is alerting health care professionals and consumers to concerns over the use of Fentora (fentanyl buccal) tablets after recent reports of deaths and other adverse events. Fentora, a potent opioid pain medication, is used only for treatment of breakthrough pain in cancer patients receiving opioid treatment and who have become tolerant to it. Breakthrough pain is intense increases in pain that occur with rapid onset, even when opioid pain-control medication is being used. Patients who take narcotic pain medications daily and around-the-clock develop tolerance and are more resistant to the dangerous side effects of these medications than patients who take narcotic pain medication on a less frequent basis.

Versabanq's Asset Management Software Set to Help Financial Institutions Reap the Business Benefits of Basel II



All major Canadian Schedule 1 (or chartered) banks passed a significant milestone on Thursday, November 1 by becoming Basel II compliant. Basel II is an accord that aims to create an international standard for national banking regulators to use when setting regulations about how much capital banks need in reserve to guard against financial and operational risks from their lending and investment practices. The Big Five Schedule 1 chartered banks accomplished compliance following a major, multi-year, implementation process alone equal to the $750 million Y2K effort of Canada's chartered banks. Now it is the turn of other Canadian financial institutions to meet the Basel II challenge.Basel II compliance can deliver significant business benefits and competitive advantage if implemented effectively. Canadian financial institutions such as the 1,595 credit unions and caisse populaires that serve over 10 million Canadians, trust companies, even some insurance companies and brokerage firms, no

MiFiD: 50% say regulators slipping on guidance



With less than 100 days before the 1 November deadline many financial services firms are unhappy with the support they are receiving from their national regulators as they prepare for the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive, found a survey by SunGard and TradeTech. Half the 300 respondents stated that their national regulators were either “bad” (32%) or “very bad” (19%) in helping them to get ready for the directive.



In the UK, respondents were divided on whether the Financial Services Authority’s minimal guidance, principles-based approach to MiFID was a good one – only 54% believed that this is “the best approach to prevent regulatory overload”, with the remaining respondents stating that this approach “makes it difficult to understand exactly what requirements the FSA desires, adding to the compliance task”.



The survey showed an overall increase in MiFID readiness – 53% of respondents now believe their preparations for the directive are “ahead” or “right-on-track”, compared with just 34% in September 2006. However, opinions are still divided on whether MiFID will have a positive impact. The majority (54%) of institutions surveyed state that they see MiFID as just “another piece of compliance”. In addition, only 42% of respondents believe that MiFID will be good for Europe’s economy in the next 5 – 10 years, with over a third still undecided.

GARTNER: Start Managing Information - Not Just Technology



Gartner predicts that organisations who do not approach information management in a coordinated, enterprise manner, will fail in the first or second year at a rate of more than 90 per cent. Many organisations want to exploit their information assets and address issues surrounding information overload in order to achieve their efficiency, transparency and differentiation objectives. At the same time, they want to ensure appropriate safeguards and measures are in place to protect sensitive information and minimise risk. Despite the recognition of the importance of the issue, many organisations do not have formal information governance programmes, or coordinated information management strategies in place.

Roche's ACTEMRA for the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis to be Approved by FDA



Roche announced the submission of a biologics license application (BLA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeking approval to market ACTEMRA(R) (tocilizumab) to reduce the signs and symptoms in adults with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The filing for ACTEMRA represents a significant milestone for Roche, and brings us another step closer to making this important therapy available to the millions of patients in the United States who suffer from the agonizing pain and debilitating effects associated with rheumatoid arthritis, said George Abercrombie, President and CEO, Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. ACTEMRA is the first humanized interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor-inhibiting monoclonal antibody and represents a novel mechanism of action to treat RA. Research suggests that reducing the activity of IL-6, one of several key cytokines involved in the inflammatory process, may reduce inflammation of the joints and relieve certain systemic effects of RA.

Tentative EU-US Deal on SWIFT Data



European Union governments have reached a tentative deal with the United States clarifying how it will use data it receives from Belgian-based bank transfer consortium SWIFT in anti-terror investigations, diplomats said Wednesday.



The deal is aimed at ending a trans-Atlantic battle on privacy rights in the hunt for terrorists, and would close a legal black hole over the status of a data transfer deal SWIFT signed with U.S. authorities after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.



The new draft agreement would bind the U.S. to use SWIFT data strictly in anti-terror investigations, the diplomats said on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the talks.



Other uses of the data would have to meet conditions set by European data protection officials, they said.



The deal was being finalized as part of an exchange of letters between Washington and EU government envoys in Brussels. The draft was approved Wednesday by EU nations, and was expected to receive final approval Thursday.

Customers Tend To Buy The Who, Not The What



Recently, an associate made an astute and intriguing

observation, one that captured my immediate attention. He

stated that “most customers buy the who (us) not the what

(products) that they can easily buy from anyone.” What a

statement of fact! That is such an important distinction

and a lesson well worth additional discussion and

remembering. Why would anybody want to buy from just anyone?


While most salespeople represent a company’s product line,

ranging from pharmaceuticals to cleaning products, they are

typically not the owner of the company. They do however,

represent that company, sharing their brand image and

reputation in the marketplace, whether good or bad.

Customers tend to see salespeople, not the companies they

work for. From a customer perspective, salespeople are

often synonymous with their employer. Their individual

identity often fades into the background.


The superior salesperson is continuously aware of the

critical importance of nurturing customer relationships in

their daily selling efforts. These salespeople strive to

expose their own identity, their own brand, in addition to

their employer’s presence. They inject themselves into the

process, making a personal investment in the selling

experience. By cultivating relationships with their

customers, salespeople endear themselves to their customers

as dependable and valued resources. In this manner,

salespeople become indispensable.

OSHA Stresses Importance Of Recognizing Early Symptoms Of Heat Illness



Cal/OSHA urges employees working in hot conditions to take precautions since heat illness is a medical condition that results from the bodys inability to shed heat when high temperatures strike. Symptoms from over exposure to heat include cramps, exhaustion, fainting and stroke. Just a 2F increase in normal body temperature can affect mental performance and an increase of 5F can result in serious illness or death, said Len Welsh, acting chief of Cal/OSHA. It is important for those who work under hot conditions to know how to protect themselves from this under-recognized hazard.
