Seminar: How to Legally Protect Your Brand, Ideas & Trade Secrets
Posted by: "Margarita R." AskLillie@yahoo.com asklillie
Wed Oct 8, 2008 3:33 pm (PDT)
What: How to Protect (and Profit from) Your Intellectual Property
When: Oct. 14, Tue, 6:30-8:30pm
Where: Nath & Associates
112 S. West St., Alexandria, VA
Cost in advance: $ 20 members, $ 30 guests
Cost at the door: $ 30 members, $ 40 guests
Registration & details: http://www.yescircle.org
Did you know that your company possesses invaluable Intellectual
Property (IP) assets that need to be protected? Your vision,
creativity, and hard work have built a unique brand, smart business
practices, and a competitive advantage in the market place. So what
are you doing to protect (and profit from) your Intellectual Property?
IP assets exist in every size and type of a business, but
entrepreneurs often don't recognize or protect our Intellectual
Property. As a result, competitors may profit from our ideas and
inventions; former employees may misuse customer data; and we may even
have to change company name, logo and brand because it conflicts with
a prior user. For these reasons it's crucial to learn how to identify,
protect and profit from your company's major intellectual property
assets -- patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets.
This educational, enlightening program is hosted and presented by the
Nath Law Group Partner Joshua Goldberg and Trademark Department
Manager David Starr.

Oct. 17 teleseminar on literature and complexity
Posted by: "kelly@laughingmuse.com" kelly@laughingmuse.com kcresap2000
Wed Oct 8, 2008 3:34 pm (PDT)
Many of you have heard me talk about the John Fowles novel
"Daniel Martin." I'm starting another free teleseminar reading
group, this time in connection with the national Plexus
Institute. You don't need to be a Plexus member, nor to have
read the novel, to join the introductory call on Oct. 17. If
you're interested, email me at kelly@laughingmuse.com and I'll
send you the phone number and access code. At the end of the
Oct. 17 call, those who want to journey through the book in a
series of five teleseminar discussions will arrange the best
time and dates. There's no cost for any of the sessions other
than making a long-distance phone call, and buying the novel if
you participate in the follow-up calls.
Here's the announcement:
Bringing people together in conversation
PlexusCalls
Friday October 17, 2008
1:00-2:00 P.M. Eastern Time
"Complexity in the John Fowles Novel 'Daniel Martin'"
and the beginning of a discussion group
Join us!
Guest: Kelly Cresap, Ph.D.
Kelly Cresap, Ph.D., author, public speaker, humorist, and
former NPR commentator, has spent years studying the 1977 John
Fowles novel "Daniel Martin," and the rich and layered
complexity of its writing and story development. Dr. Cresap
earned his doctorate in English literature at the University of
Virginia; his 2004 book "Pop Trickster Fool: Warhol Performs
Naivete" examines archetypes in the life of pop artist Andy
Warhol.
"Daniel Martin" is the story of a creative man re-examining his
life in middle age. A phone call draws Daniel away from his job
as a Hollywood screenwriter to the hospital bedside of his
long-estranged best friend in Oxford. This meeting in turn
awakens in Daniel a series of feelings and connections he has
spent many years neglecting. The journey back to England
involves Daniel's piecing together elements of his past, and
ultimately serves as the occasion for him "to discover what had
gone wrong, not only with Daniel Martin, but his generation,
age, century."
Although a critically acclaimed bestseller and Book-of-the-Month
Club main selection when it was published, "Daniel Martin" is
more thoughtfully paced than Fowles's earlier novels, "The
Magus" and "The French Lieutenant's Woman." It has taken
scholarship some time to catch up with the novel's many facets
and layers, and particularly its enigmatic first sentence—"Whole
sight; or all the rest is desolation." 31 years after "Daniel
Martin" first appeared, research in a variety of fields now
helps us fully appreciate what Fowles meant by "whole sight,"
and why it is especially relevant in an age of postmodern
fragmentation. Here are some of the ways scholars have
configured "Daniel Martin":
-- in psychological terms, as a model for the process of
individuation (Barnum, 1988), and a model for the self
successfully overcoming narcissism (Kochhar-Lindgren, 1993);
-- in sociological terms, as a model for overcoming objectified
interpersonal dynamics (Docherty, 1981), and for the effort
involved in any honest attempt to know another human being
(Alter, 1984);
-- in historical and ideological terms, as a model for
overcoming Western rationalism and patriarchal Christianity
(Lorenz, 1990), and for integrating individual experience and
cultural history (Walker, 1980);
-- and in spiritual terms, as a model for passing through a
wasteland with the seeds of sacred transformation (Mercer Sabre,
1984), and of resurrection (Warburton, 1999).
"Human Rights Quarterly" used an extended passage from "Daniel
Martin" to summarize the conflict between economics and social
justice in America (Forsythe, 1982); in the fields of
neuropsychology and chronosophy (the study of time), one scholar
wrote that reading this book is like overcoming the limitations
with which humans ordinarily perceive time (Fawkner, 1984). More
recent scholarship has mined the book for its "mature
environmental aesthetic," finding in one of its chapters a
loving portrayal of "the most desirable model for feeding the
world into the foreseeable future" (Wilson, 2005).
The novel has also served as a touchstone in the fields of
cancer treatment, family therapy, aging, gender studies,
education, communications, business and economics, travel and
tourism, linguistics, and music, among others.
In a provocative posting on why the novel matters today, Dr.
Cresap writes, "'Daniel Martin' is layered and capacious enough
to include a vast range of paradoxical realities about life on
planet Earth; and yet it's also cohesive and unified enough to
bring them together into one holistic vision . . . Because
Fowles holds these and other paradoxes in tension in 'Daniel
Martin,' he creates the possibility for others to do so as well;
and this strenuous 'holding-in-tension' becomes a spawning
ground for new, more complex forms of feeling and knowledge, new
spiritual content, and new sources of action."
If you are intrigued by this journey into complexity and the
novel, get the book and enjoy the adventure with other Plexus
members. Dr. Cresap and those interested will decide on further
times and dates to continue the exploration of how complexity
operates in this book, and how this book can galvanize those
working in the complexity field.

Travel For Good(sm): Corporate Social Responsibility Meets
VolunTourism
Edited By David Clemmons
If we additionally put the onus of 'doing good' - -
instead of solely 'funding good' - - squarely on the shoulders of the corporations that currently provide some of the philanthropic
stimulus for such activity to occur, are we likely to see a subsequent shift in the way companies do business as well? Travelocity has taken
this step in the VolunTourism arena. At my request, Natasha Carvell and the Travelocity Team delivered this behind-the-scenes look at the
company's commitment to Travel For Good(sm). >>>
So You May Know
VolunTourism: "Not-For-Profit-Only"
Scott Laughlin and Chris Coyne are entrepreneurs. They have
started numerous companies, helped launched others, guided those trying to fulfill their own entrepreneurial goals, and provided insights into how to
bridge profitability and responsibility. As VolunTourists, they are as "serious" about combining their voluntary service with their love
for adventure and travel. It is this integrated approach to business and life that has transformed what was once a rapacious capitalistic drive to a
mantra that reads: "Not-For-Profit-Only." >>>

Is VolunTourism A Good Idea?
With expanding interest and adoption come more questions about the legitimacy of
VolunTourism. But there also arise a number of misinterpretations and misrepresentations. This controversy will lead to more

dialogue as well. >>>

Revisiting Relief VolunTourism
H urricanes Dolly, Gustav, Hanna, and Ike claimed nearly 800 lives in the Caribbean, Central America, and U.S. mainland in 2008, and damage estimates exceed $50 billion (USD), according

When we discuss the role of business in
the improvement of society as a whole and in the realm of VolunTourism, in particular, it is important to have some examples in the market space
to which we may refer. Social Tours and its companion firm, Social Treks, represent such examples. In fact, they have a 'social mission' that
reads as follows: To operate the company in a way that actively recognizes the central role that business plays in the structure of society by
initiating ways to improve the quality of life of a broad community: local, national and international. >>>
