Conference Calls or Business Travel ? What?s in your budget this …

Posted on February 6, 2012 by | Permalink 0

The recent economic shake up has prompted quite a few businesses big and little to shine a spotlight on their expenditure, 1 area in particular to receive extra scrutiny is organization travel.

American Express Organization Travel recently released the results of its 2009 European Barometer, in which 66% of respondents reported a reduction in their budgets, with an average cut of 31% over the previous year. A contracting marketplace has also developed a considerable shift in attitude towards what kind of expenditure is justifiable, with a focus on client retention and accountability instead of ambitious new company development and lavish corporate entertainment.

In the meantime, conferencing technologies have evolved, boasting remarkably basic interfaces based on reliable technology platforms, backed up by the newest advances in server technology and cloud computing. Quite a few businesses are now questioning why they should invest large amounts of dollars travelling to and from client meetings when they can communicate successfully via conference call or video conferencing. Even in the new enterprise sector the capacity to easily exchange critical documents and presentations simultaneously is revolutionising the way organization win new accounts.

With the careful selection of a trusted conference call provider, companies can manage their client communications much more successfully and encourage a new level of direct interaction between their teams and their customer?s teams. Indeed this improved interfacing can result in far much more ?meetings of minds? than would typically be affordable due to the high costs of transporting a full team onsite to a client that may possibly even be on the other side of the world.

Adding all this together, and not forgetting the increasing environmental concerns regarding carbon emissions from aircraft and motor vehicles, company now have a clear financial incentive to embrace new The conference call technologies as well adding significant amounts to their bottom line by reducing costly and sometime unnecessary travel.

US Rep Jackson faces first Democratic challenge (AP)

Posted on February 6, 2012 by | Permalink 0

CHICAGO ? The former congresswoman and one-time Mary Kay saleswoman dashed up to the pulpit of the black megachurch and offered stories of growing up poor and raising two children on her own as she tried to win the congregation’s support for her bid to unseat Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.

Debbie Halvorson, who is white, is giving the son of the iconic civil rights leader his first real competition in a district that has been held by a black congressman for three decades. She believes recent ethics scandals have made him vulnerable, and a new congressional map has added more white and rural voters to his district ? along with a large chunk of the area Halvorson represented until she lost to a candidate with strong tea party support in 2010.

Jackson is fighting back by hiring a pricey public relations firm, opening a campaign office outside of Chicago in Kankakee and registering new voters in rural areas. The campaign is shaping up as one of the toughest fights in Illinois’ March 20 primary, and it could be the latest test of whether famously segregated Chicago and its surrounding suburbs have moved beyond voting along racial lines.

“We need someone who says it doesn’t matter where you grew up, you should have the same equal opportunity to education,” Halvorson told the congregation at Sweet Holy Spirit Church of Chicago, where the gospel-singing pastor has endorsed her. “I grew up poor. I know what we need, we need jobs now.”

The warehouse-style church ? which boasts 9,000 members ? erupted in applause.

Last year’s mayoral election ? in which blacks and Hispanics largely supported Rahm Emanuel despite several minority candidates on the ballot ? challenged assumptions about race in politics even though the metro area remains heavily segregated. Halvorson’s success largely depends on race not mattering in this election either, although Jackson’s famous name, changes to the district and a House ethics investigation into Jackson’s ties to prison-bound former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich complicate the equation.

Both campaigns released internal polls in January that put Jackson well ahead. And political experts note that Jackson’s family name resonates deeply in the district he has won up until now with more than 80 percent of the vote.

“It’s a name that represents more than 40 years of activism in the African American community, particularly in Chicago,” said Robert Starks, a professor at Northeastern Illinois University who studies politics and race. “I don’t think she can beat him.”

Despite changes to the district, it remains largely comprised largely of black neighborhoods on Chicago’s South Side, and Halvorson has taken her campaign to his backyard: She’s hired an African American community relations consultant, scored the endorsements of several black ministers and speaks at up to five black churches every Sunday.

She also exploits opportunities to mention the House Ethics Committee probe into reports that Jackson was involved in trying to raise money for Blagojevich in exchange for Jackson being appointed to President Barack Obama’s old Senate seat. Jackson has denied the allegations and long maintained that he’ll be vindicated.

Still, this is the first time Jackson, 46, has faced a serious Democratic challenger since he was sent to Congress after winning a special election in 1995. He has responded by campaigning harder than ever, making more public appearances and touting a list of high-profile endorsements, including one from state Sen. James Meeks, a Chicago mayoral candidate last year and head pastor at Salem Baptist Church, a 10,000-seat arena that’s been a critical destination for aspiring officeholders.

After three years of regularly declining interviews, Jackson’s also returning reporters’ phone calls.

“The redistricting and the polls show we’re still popular,” he said in a telephone interview. “I feel very confident. But we never take anyone or anything for granted.”

On the campaign trail, Halvorson, 53, greets commuters at suburban Metra stops in the heart of her old state Senate district with a cheery demeanor that makes it easy to envision her as a former cosmetics saleswoman. Even in Chicago, Jackson’s stronghold and her greatest challenge, she’s made inroads.

Among the pastors who’ve endorsed her is Bishop Larry Trotter of Sweet Holy Spirit, which has had a strong South Side presence for decades. He has supported Jackson over the years but said the congressman has been hard to reach. He believes Halvorson understands the area’s issues and after Obama’s election, the race of a candidate isn’t as important to voters.

“She’s proven to be concerned about things that hurt our people. When I say `our,’ I mean community people that are not in the upper echelon, regular working people and poor people,” Trotter said. “She has a heartbeat for building up single mothers.”

In her church appearances, Halvorson talks about education, detailing how she earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees while raising teenagers as a single mom. She has since remarried. She also talks about how her mother raised her and her two brothers on $700 a month and how she often ate mayonnaise sandwiches for lunch.

Jacques Whatley, 38, is a single mother of two who is black and has voted for Jackson in the past. But she said the district could use new leadership and it doesn’t matter to her that Halvorson is white.

She said education is most important to her, particularly overcrowded classrooms, and making more affordable housing options for people.

“I could go either way,” she said.

Halvorson acknowledges the challenge but says she has faced tough odds before. In 1996, she defeated 18-year Republican state Sen. Aldo DeAngelis of Olympia Fields in a door-to-door campaign and eventually was appointed the first female majority leader of the state Senate.

“The only color that matters is green and that’s money. We need someone who is going to bring it back,” she said. “I think me being a white woman doesn’t matter, they just want someone who’s going to deliver.”

Egypt to try 19 Americans in case straining ties

CAIRO (AP) ? Ignoring a U.S. threat to cut off aid, Egypt has referred 19 Americans and 24 other employees of nonprofit groups to trial before a criminal court on accusations they illegally used foreign funds to foment unrest in the country.

Egypt’s military rulers had already deeply strained ties with Washington with their crackdown on U.S.-funded groups promoting democracy and human rights and accused of stirring up violence in the aftermath of the uprising a year ago that ousted President Hosni Mubarak. The Sunday decision to send 43 workers from the various groups to trials marks a sharp escalation in the dispute.

Egypt and the United States have been close allies for more than three decades, but the campaign against the organizations has angered Washington, and jeopardized the $1.5 billion in aid Egypt is set to receive from the U.S. this year.

On Saturday, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton warned Egypt that failure to resolve the dispute may lead to the loss of American aid. The Egyptian minister, Mohammed Amr, responded Sunday by saying the government cannot interfere in the work of the judiciary.

“We are doing our best to contain this but … we cannot actually exercise any influence on the investigating judges right now when it comes to the investigation,” Amr told reporters at a security conference in Munich, Germany. A few hours later, word of the referral to trials came.

The Egyptian investigation into the work of nonprofit groups in the country is closely linked to the political turmoil that has engulfed the nation since the ouster of Mubarak, a close U.S. ally who ruled Egypt for nearly 30 years.

Egypt’s military rulers have been under fire by liberal and secular groups for bungling what was supposed to be a transition to democracy after Mubarak’s ouster. The ruling generals who took power after the uprising, led by a man who was Mubarak’s defense minister for 20 years, have tried to deflect the criticism by claiming “foreign hands” are behind protests against their rule and frequently depict the protesters as receiving funds from abroad in a plot to destabilize the country.

Those allegations have cost the youth activists that spearheaded Mubarak’s ouster support among a wider public that is sensitive to allegations of foreign meddling and which sees a conspiracy to destabilize Egypt in nearly every move by a foreign nation.

Egypt has just been plunged into a new cycle of violence with 12 killed in four days of clashes. The clashes were sparked by anger at the authorities inability to prevent a riot after a soccer match last week left 74 people dead.

International Cooperation Minister Faiza Aboul Naga, a remnant of the Mubarak regime who retained her post after his ouster, is leading the crackdown on nonprofit groups. On Sunday, she vowed to pursue the issue to the very end. The investigation into the funding issue, she claimed, has uncovered “plots aimed at striking at Egypt’s stability.”

Egyptian security officials said that among the Americans sent to trial is Sam LaHood, the head of the Egypt office of the Washington-based International Republican Institute and the son of U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. Five Serbs, two Germans and three non-Egyptian Arab nationals are also targeted.

Lahood’s group called the decision “politically motivated” and said it “reflects escalating attacks against international and Egyptian democracy organizations.” The IRI statement from Washington said the campaign was being carried out “in part by Mubarak-era holdovers.”

All 43 have been banned from leaving the country. A date has yet to be set for the start of the trial. They can face between three and seven years in jail if convicted on the charges.

In Washington, the State Department criticized the move.

“We have seen media reports that judicial officials in Egypt intend to forward a number of cases involving U.S.-funded (nonprofits) to the Cairo Criminal Court,” State Department spokesman Victoria Nuland told reporters. “We are deeply concerned by these reports and are seeking clarification from the government of Egypt.”

Sunday’s decision to refer the 43 to trial raises questions about the Egyptian military’s motive to allow the issue to escalate so much that the valuable $1.3 billion in aid it gets annually be placed in jeopardy. Washington also is set to give Egypt $250 million in economic aid this year.

The U.S. assistance has allowed the Egyptian military to replace its relatively antiquated Soviet-era weaponry with modern and sophisticated arms, ranging from fighter-bombers and transport aircraft to tanks and personnel carriers. The aid is closely but informally linked to Egypt’s continued adherence to its 1979 peace treaty with Israel, Washington’s closest Middle East ally.

Previously, Egyptian authorities had prevented at least six Americans ? including LaHood ? and four Europeans from leaving the country, citing a probe opened last month when heavily armed security forces raided the offices of 17 pro-democracy and rights groups. Egyptian officials have defended the raid as part of a legitimate investigation into the groups’ work and funding.

“The ruling military council is searching for scapegoats to cover up its successive failures, the disastrous ones, since it took power on Feb. 11 (2011),” said prominent rights activist Bahy Eddin Hassan. “It has managed to stain the reputation of everybody to come out as the only party to be trusted in the eyes of ordinary Egyptians.”

Laws requiring local and foreign civil society groups to register with the government have long been a source of contention, with rights activists accusing authorities of using legal provisions to go after groups critical of their policies. Offenders can be sentenced to prison if convicted.

Foreign civil society groups must receive permission to legally operate in Egypt by registering with the ministries of foreign affairs and international cooperation.

Legally, the Social Solidarity Ministry must approve any foreign funds funneled to local or foreign civil society groups in Egypt.

Also Sunday, security officials said Mubarak, 83, would shortly be moved to a prison for the first time since his arrest last April. Mubarak has since his arrest been kept in custody in a hospital at the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh and later at an army medical facility east of Cairo.

Mubarak is on trial on charges of complicity in the killing of hundreds of protesters during the 18-day uprising that forced him to step down.

The officials also said that around 50 former regime insiders held at Tora would be dispersed to five different jails in the greater Cairo area within the next 48 hours. They include Mubarak’s two sons, businessman Alaa and one-time heir apparent Gamal, two former prime ministers and the former speakers of parliament’s two chambers.

The decision to move Mubarak and spread the regime officials appeared to be a concession by the military to pro-reform activists who complain that the ruling generals led by Mubarak’s defense minister for 20 years were treating the ousted leader with reverence and turning a blind eye to former regime officials clustered in Tora to use supporters to undermine security.
