Media relations has been a mainstay of the PR industry for decades, but that’s changing, especially as newsrooms shrink. Companies large and small are now telling their own stories, publishing them on SEO-enhanced online news hubs, and getting bottom-line results. Brand journalism (also known as content marketing) is dramatically changing how we practice PR. Skillfully written news reports that resonate with customers and humanize a company’s message are the new PR frontier. In this episode of the Lubetkin on Communications podcast, we present a panel program from the Public Relations Society of America's New Jersey Chapter, held October 19, 2017 in Rahway, NJ.

In 1976, Robbie Benson and Glynnis O'Connor starred in a movie version of the Bobbie Gentry folk classic, "Ode to Billy Joe." At the time of the movie's release, I was a student DJ at WMCX-FM at Monmouth University. I was also the "production engineer" for some basement tape recordings my dad made with a musical colleague from Fort Monmouth, NJ who happened to be Bobbie Gentry's brother. After one visit with his sister during which he shared the music tapes he and my dad recorded, he returned with a complete set of Bobbie Gentry albums for me.
Needless to say, I became very familiar with her music, and when I saw the movie, I was quite surprised by all the hidden references to her other songs in the movie. None of that got very much attention at the time, so I decided to do a radio show special focusing on the hidden references. That show aired August 26, 1976 and is shared here for the first time in podcast form.

On the June 3, 2016 edition of the Jewish Sacred Aging Podcast, Rabbi Address speaks with Rabbi David Teutsch Ph.D., director of the Center for Jewish Ethics at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in Wynnewood, PA.
Rabbi David Teutsch, Ph.D. is a man in motion, a multi-tasker with many interests. Trained as a rabbi, he earned his doctorate from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania; is past president of RRC; and currently leads RRC's Center for Jewish Ethics. Teutsch has spearheaded several projects devoted to Jewish leadership and its ethical basis in Jewish texts. His 2009 book, Making a Difference: A Guide to Jewish Leadership and Not-for-Profit Management, was based on a 15-month training program he led in Baltimore for future Jewish organizational presidents; the program, called Acharai!, combined course material on nonprofit management with lessons from Jewish texts on leadership and values. "To be a Jewish leader (as opposed to just a leader in a Jewish organization or a leader who just so happens to be Jewish) means to act like a mensch," Teutsch says. "It means you must guide by Jewish virtues and values, including integrity, courage, humility, gentleness and empathy. "Especially in these tough economic times, congregational and organizational leaders--whether staff or volunteer--should ask themselves: If everyone acted as I do, would the organization be a success? Would it help to build relationships and community? Would the Jewish community's commitments to Jewish learning, spirituality and social justice be what I would like them to be?" Looking back on Acharai!, Teutsch recalls a class in which he discussed the nuances of exercising power, authenticity and leadership. To make the discussion accessible to participants, he described the implications of the biblical story of Gideon, who, against all odds, succeeded as a military leader and then decided not to become king. The lesson: Good leadership is different from self-aggrandizement. "Ultimately, the goal is to integrate Jewish values and text with a sophisticated approach to leadership in the nonprofit environment," Teutsch says.
Nationally known author, psychologist, and radio show host Dr. Dan Gottlieb is the guest on the May 31, 2016 edition of Boomer Generation Radio, to discuss the broad topic of love. Dan Gottlieb began his practice in 1969 after receiving undergraduate and graduate degrees at Temple University. As a young psychologist, his early career specialized in addictions where he ultimately was the director of a community based treatment program at Belmont Institute in Philadelphia. At the time he was director of two outpatient clinics and one inpatient unit supervising over 30 staff. He was also a graduate of the highly respected Family Institute of Philadelphia, a program that later elected him as president. img_about_dan720x400During this time he became a highly respected clinician, teacher and supervisor of psychiatrists, psychologists and clinical social workers. He taught at Hahnemann University and consulted with many other faculty members throughout the region. Personally, he was happily married and had loved being a father to his young daughters. However, his early successes were tragically interrupted. In 1979 Dan was in a near fatal automobile accident which left him paralyzed from the chest down. As expected, there were years of despair and depression. He experienced loss on top of loss as his wife left the marriage and passed away several years later. And in the ensuing years he mourned the loss of his sister and his parents. And for the last three decades, he has been observing life with passion and discussion and learning valuable lessons about what it means to be human and how adversity can teach us how to live better and love better. Despite this adversity, he resumed his private practice which was to grow substantially over the next several decades. In addition to his practice, he has continued to lecture, train and supervise a variety of healthcare professionals. Since 1985, Daniel Gottlieb has been hosting “Voices in the Family,” an award-winning mental health call-in radio show aired on WHYY 90.9 FM, Philadelphia’s local public radio station. From 1993 until 2008, he wrote a highly regarded column for the Philadelphia Inquirer titled: “Inside Out,” reflecting his perspective on the intersection of the events in our world and the events in our minds and hearts. He has also published four books, including the international bestseller: Letters to Sam: A Grandfather’s Lessons on Love, Loss, and the Gifts of Life. His newest book, The Wisdom We’re Born With: Restoring Faith in Ourselves, was released in March, to rave reviews from mental health professionals around the country. All of his royalties will be donated to the Khulani school for disabled children in South Africa. In addition to his writing and radio show, he delivered over 1000 lectures all over the world on a variety of topics affecting the well-being of people, families and the larger community. The essence of his philosophy can be found on his business card. After his name there are no degrees and no fancy titles. His card simply says “Gottlieb. Human.” Through personal and professional experience, Dan has learned that our greatest suffering is alienation and loneliness. That is these powerful emotions can produce prejudice, hatred, violence, withdrawal and depression. He has learned that all humans long for human contact, compassion and understanding. And without compassion, our spirits wither. When asked to summarize his life’s work, he says simply: “I teach kindness.”
The May 24, 2016 guests on Boomer Generation Radio are: Donna Butts, executive director of Generations United, an organization acting as a catalyst that brings single-age focused groups together to build and support a common agenda while providing a unique voice in public debate.

Matthew Dolly, Research Director, Transwestern **PARSIPPANY, NJ—**Members of Generation X, those born from 1965 to 1980, “the neglected middle child” in offices that also contain Baby Boomers and Millennials, are more like their Boomer predecessors than the younger Millennials, a recent **Transwestern** report discovered.
The development, real estate investment management and research firm explored the generational preferences of office employees in a recent survey of its own workers organized by New Jersey research director Matthew Dolly.
“I came up with the idea last summer,” Dolly tells GlobeSt.com exclusively. “You’re always reading about Millennials, you have the Baby Boomers, who for the most part built up the office market. But you never read about Gen X, because they were a smaller generation and they were only the largest part of the workforce for a few years.”
Gen Xers are between 35 and 50, and in the next 20 years will be 55-70, Dolly says.
“We’re going to be the executives, we’re going to make the decisions, so right now we have to work with the Baby Boomers and with the Millennials, their children behind them,” he says, noting that he falls squarely in the middle of the Gen X demographic.
The research and commentary, titled “The Gen X Factor: Stuck in the Middle or Best of Both Worlds?” compares the responses of 273 Transwestern team members classified as Baby Boomers (born 1946 – 1964), Gen Xers (born 1965 – 1980) and Millennials (born 1980 – 1998).
Many developers have skipped from what Baby Boomers wanted and expected in office arrangements directly to what Millennials want, such as urban live-work-play locations, Dolly says. But Gen Xers enjoy a mix of office designs and locations, his research shows.
“They did like the option of a private workspace and abundant light, not as many used mass transit as the millennials, but Gen Xers and Baby Boomers prefer the suburbs,” he says. Gen Xers like flexible work hours with some structure, he adds.
In nearly all cases, the responses of Gen Xers fall somewhere between Baby Boomers and Millennials, highlighting the unique blend of views this generation possesses – a mix of seasoned experience and savvy thinking that was the fortuitous byproduct of being sandwiched between two large generations.
“Although Millennials are now the largest segment of the US labor force, companies that value workforce diversity benefit from a broader range of ideas and experiences,” says Dolly. “At the same time, while it is easy to create divisions between age groups, we found that there are just as many commonalities as differences between these three influential generations.”
You can hear a podcast of GlobeSt.com’s conversation with Matt Dolly in the player below.
Some of the survey’s findings include the following:
- Flexibility is highly valued by all generations, with only 11 percent of total respondents favoring mandatory “9 to 5” hours in the workplace. Across all groups, flex hours – characterized by an alternative, yet defined schedule – is preferred over no set hours, with Generation X voicing the strongest preference for this type of flexibility.
- All generations agree that there is a high correlation between work environment and productivity. When it comes to the amenities that contribute to a comfortable environment, privacy and abundant light ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, for every group of respondents.
- Open offices, or “hoteling,” was viewed most favorably by Millennials, while private offices received the most votes from Baby Boomers. However, in total and by generation, respondents overwhelmingly prefer a mix of private and open office space.
- The preference for downtown living more than tripled between Baby Boomers and Millennials, at 19 percent and 64 percent, respectively.
- The importance of social media to professional life is inversely related to age: only 4 percent of Baby Boomers feel that social media is very important, compared to 7 percent of Gen Xers and 20 percent of Millennials.
- Of the Generation X respondents, 56 percent reported that they identify more strongly with Baby Boomers, and 44 percent reported that they identify more strongly with Millennials. This gives Gen Xers, as a whole, a broad perspective of the wants and needs of today’s workforce.
“Because of their age and experience, Gen Xers are often a natural fit for leadership positions,” Dolly said. “This group is equipped to bring proven skills and thoughtful creativity that enables all generations to make valuable contributions and positions the organization to excel.”

At our April 28, 2016 event, we heard from dynamic keynote speaker Rocky Romeo about how to promote businesses through power networking. Mastering this crucial skill requires more than just schmoozing over cheese platters and exchanging business cards. Rocky will share powerful networking skills that can not only open the door to plum job opportunities but can also help you land new clients. Following Rocky’s talk was a panel discussion on where the opportunities are – from freelance work to full-time jobs for communications professionals.
You can hear the entire program thanks to our webmaster, Steve Lubetkin, who produces the "Lubetkin on Communications" podcast series on his website.

In this Jewish Sacred Aging podcast, Rabbi Address chats with Rabbi Sara Paasche-Orlow, the Director of Religious and Chaplaincy Services at Hebrew SeniorLife. Rabbi Paasche-Orlow , with Rabbi Joel H. Baron, translated and annotated the new book, Deathbed Wisdom of the Chassidic Masters: The Book of Departure and Caring for People at the End of Life. The book will be released this spring by Jewish Lights Publishing. From the book's web page comes this description of their work:
Translators and annotators Joel H Baron and Sara Paasche-Orlow, both rabbis and Jewish chaplains, use their clinical pastoral education training, rabbinic knowledge and experiences working with people in hospice and hospital care to draw insights and suggest helpful teachings from these stories. In a unique facing-page format, they approach the end-of-life stories of these rabbis as narrative theology, bringing their own experiences into conversation with those of the Hasidic masters and of their biblical, rabbinic and intellectual forebears.
By following the pathways into the texts to which the stories refer, and by extracting modern pastoral lessons, Rabbis Baron and Paasche-Orlow help caregivers and chaplains of all kinds make Jewish meaning out of the experience of caring for others at the end of life.
About Rabbi Paasche-Orlow
Rabbi Sara Paasche-Orlow
Rabbi Paasche-Orlow established the nation's only Jewish geriatric clinical pastoral education (CPE) program accredited by ACPE, Inc. and has placed chaplains and CPE students throughout the HSL system.

In this episode of the Jewish Sacred Aging Podcast, Rabbi Address chats with Rabbi Sue Levi Elwell, Ph.D., a Philadelphia-based spiritual director and editor of the new book, Chapters of the Heart: Jewish Women Sharing the Torah of Our Lives. This podcast is adapted from a video conversation with Rabbi Levi Elwell held last year.
From the book's introduction:
We asked a group of Jewish women to tell us the truth about their lives and to do so with a few Jewish words. We, two rabbis who love both Jewish words and talking with other women about the truth of their lives, rounded up some friends who are professionals in the Jewish "word business"—rabbis, scholars, writers, theologians. We asked each woman to open her heart, to delve into her considerable Jewish vocabulary, and to tell us what she found. They, and we, are not beginners; we are almost all over fifty, and many of us a decade or two more. Nevertheless, like everyone else, when it comes to our own lives, we are still trying to figure out how to live with grace. And each of us, in our own way, is still exploring what it all means. Our stories are not ours alone. Reading them, you may recognize yourself or someone you know.

Before entering the rabbinical program at RRC, he worked as a community organizer. Liebling was a member of the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations for 12 years. He has served on the boards of various national and international non-profit organizations; currently he serves on the boards of the Faith and Politics Institute and Rabbis for Human Rights-North America.

Liebling also has spoken out for justice for people with disabilities, and his family was the subject of the award-winning documentary film Praying With Lior. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in government from Cornell University and Master of Arts in the history of American civilization, specializing in American progressive movements, from Brandeis University.

Editor's Note: The audio podcast is now available
How often do you want to share with friends what you just heard in an audio news story or podcast? Would you want to send them a short snippet of the audio and a link where they could hear more?
Now, you can do just that with a recently introduced app called Clammr (clammr.com). There is an iPhone app ready and you can sign up to be notified when the Android app launches.
The concept is the brainchild of Parviz Parvizi and his partner David Silverman.
“We created Clammr as a process of bridging audio into social media,” Parvizi said in an interview. “One of the things that we observed is that social media is now where people find things to consume, it is the primary driver of traffic to websites, but audio really isn’t present on social media.”
One reason for that is that audio podcasts are usually 20 minutes in length, and are “hard to penetrate,” Parvizi says.
“If you actually shrink the unit size down, that makes it more appropriate for consumption and engagement on social media,” he says.
Parvizi and his Clammr co-founder David Silverman got the idea because both of them discovered they were auditory learners when they met in law school.
“We were in the same small group, and we figured out pretty quickly that we were among the slowest readers in the history of our law school,” Parvizi recalled. “We bonded very quickly over that.”
The pair began exchanging audio clips through shared folders, or text messages containing timestamps for particular audio excerpts.
It was Silverman, Parvizi says, who came up with the idea of being able to “tweet audio.”
You can record a Clammr from either the website or from the smartphone app. It can’t be longer than 24 seconds. When you share it via social media, the sound clip will have a link back to the original source, so if you send out a clip from a longer podcast, your followers can go back to the full program to listen.
You can look up podcasts in the Apple iTunes Store, and select portions of a program to convert into a Clammr. The Clammr app and website include a browser-based audio editor that can be manipulated with finger swipes on the phone to create the short clip.
“I think it’s very human to want to share with the community and get feedback from that community,” says Parvizi, noting that in the 200,000 years that modern humans have been around, only about five percent of that time has included the use of written text. “In a lot of ways, we’re wired to speak and listen and do goofy things visually.
The ability to record a Clammr live from a smartphone also offers an additional way for citizen journalists to deliver live reports from the scene of an event. It’s a bit of a challenge to hold your commentary under 24 seconds, but it can be done.
The app lets you listen to Clammrs from people you follow as an unending stream, and it’s actually an interesting way of catching up quickly. I listened to the NPR stream of Clammrs, and it almost seemed like it was just a shorter version of the Morning Edition Show that was just reporting the headlines.
I’ve used Clammr to create short teasers for news stories I’m reporting on the commercial real estate news website GlobeSt.com, and picked up about 30 listeners for each short audio program. You can hear my efforts at http://www.clammr.com/app/podcaststeve.
With a bit of perseverance, it could be a great way for podcasters, journalists, and other content creators to promote their products.
What kinds of audio would you share with your friends? Email steve@compuschmooze.com. On Twitter, Clammr, or Periscope, follow @PodcastSteve. Also, listen to an audio podcast interview with Parviz Parvizi of Clammr at http://bit.ly/compuschmooze.

With a deep desire to create the most impact, yet bound within the limits of stretched resources, many nonprofits feel they have no agency in creative processes -- or any ability to leverage design sensibilities while trying to provide social value in their work.
This month, Phillip Le (senior experience designer at Think Brownstone and former chair of PhillyCHI) joined us to address these issues. In his talk, he'll discuss how, by reframing our thinking, nonprofits can use design processes to work alongside their constituents to create meaningful experiences to best help those we serve.

About the Guests
Dr. Alan Steinfeld, an oncologist who was on the faculty of the School of Medicine at New York University, retired in his mid-50s to pursue his interests in genealogy and gardening. “I wanted the time to get things done while I had the physical strength, the mental strength, to do it. I actually stopped working full-time at age 54, worked for another year or two part-time, and then stopped completely,” he says.
“In retirement, I have been deeply involved with two activities. One is genealogy. As an avid amateur genealogist for the past almost 40 years, I have used my retirement years to advance research into my family, teach the subject on various levels and use my knowledge to assist other groups (e.g, Dobbs Ferry Historical Society and the Village of Scarsdale),” he says. “I have also been a gardener for many decades. In retirement, I became a volunteer at the New York Botanical Garden. After leading tours for a number of years and working in the greenhouses, I moved to the library about 8 years ago, where I have cataloged a number of specialty collections.”

About the Guests
Dr. David Bernstein [dropcap]D[/dropcap]avid Bernstein, MD is a highly respected physician who is board certified in both Internal Medicine and Geriatrics practicing in Clearwater, Florida. His 30 years of experience have provided him with opportunities to observe and empathize with thousands of adults as they age. His compassion and ability to see the souls of his patients has compelled him to share his stories in his book “I’ve Got Some Good News and Some Bad News You’re OLD: Tales of a Geriatrician What to expect in Your 60s, 70s, 80s and Beyond”
After growing up outside NYC, he went to college at Washington University in St. Louis where he was introduced to a slower paced Midwestern lifestyle while meeting young adults from all over the US and the world. After attending Medical school in Albany New York, he moved to Florida where he has spent 30 years treating aging patients.
Dr. Bernstein has served as chairman of his hospital’s Pharmacy and Therapeutic committee for twenty years helping to improve patient safety and outcomes. During this period of time, he also served on the board of the local Jewish Family service and as chairman. As an associate clinical professor in the department of medicine at the University of South Florida College of Medicine, he has taught the skills he has acquired over the years to first and second year students.
Dr. Bernstein has been a nursing home medical director for 20 years. He was responsible for addressing administrative and quality assurance issues.
“When you give, you get back” he says about what his patients have told him and taught him about life and aging. His writing style of telling stories about his patients allows the reader to understand the complex emotions and struggles of growing older and losing independence. He lovingly tells these stories adding his own insights about this complex process.
Dr Bernstein is an avid public speaker, addressing various medical topics with his colleagues and with the community at large with a focus on families facing the complex problems as they near the end of life.
John Hook, Esq. [dropcap]J[/dropcap]ohn Hook provides estate planning and tax advice to high-net-worth individuals, executives, entrepreneurs and owners of closely held businesses. Having started his career at Stradley Ronon in the Tax Practice Group and obtaining his Master of Laws degree (LL.M.) from New York University School of Law, a major emphasis of Mr. Hook’s practice focuses on the tax implications of estate planning.
Mr. Hook advises charitable organizations on the establishment and operation of a planned charitable giving program. Such advice includes forming the program, establishing policies and procedures, addressing corporate governance issues, describing the types of planned giving documents available to donors, providing organizations with sample documents, and providing specific advice to the organization when a donor expresses an interest in making a planned charitable gift.
In addition, Mr. Hook counsels clients in the area of asset protection and the creation of offshore asset-protection vehicles – vital components of estate planning for high-net-worth individuals, executives and entrepreneurs.
Mr. Hook is a past chair of the taxation committee of the Philadelphia Bar Association’s Probate Section. In addition, he lectures frequently in the areas of wills, trusts and estate planning, with a focus on reducing or eliminating federal estate taxes.
Consecutively since 2008, Mr. Hook has been included in The Best Lawyers in America, regarded as a definitive guide to legal excellence in the United States. Selection for Best Lawyers is based on a peer-review survey in which more than 1.8 million individual evaluations are reviewed. He was also recognized as a preeminent AV-rated attorney by Martindale-Hubbell.
Notably, Mr. Hook represented a client in a record-setting auction sale of a rare pre-revolutionary pie-crust table attributed to the Garvan carver, which dates back to the early 1760s. Auctioned by Christie’s on Oct. 3, 2007, the antique table sold for more than $6.7 million.

Juliane Jones, a singer-songwriter who just received a Ph.D. in ethnomusicology, is our guest on Program #38 of the Middle Chamber Books and Music Podcast. Juliane talks about her specialization in Chinese operatic music, and how she has integrated Chinese lyrics into songs on her new CD, "The Space Between the Telephone Lines." We also hear several tracks from the CD.
About Juliane Jones, from her website:
[caption id="attachment_10061" align="alignleft" width="300"] Juliane Jones is a Ph.D. ethnomusicologist and a singer/songwriter whose new CD, "The Space Between the Telephone Lines," was just released.[/caption]
Singer-songwriter and ethnomusicologist Juliane Jones finds harmony in what seems like self-identity dissonance. “I occupy a middle space – my world is about intersections,” the New York-based songstress explains. Juliane’s father is Welsh, and her mother is from LA. She has lived internationally in five different places and speaks fluent Chinese and French. She is an ethnomusicologist by profession and an actively gigging musician. Evocatively, Juliane titles her kaleidoscopic, singer-songwriter, English-Chinese hybrid album The Space Between The Telephone Lines.
Juliane’s expansive artistry melds genres and inward/outward travelogues. It’s an exquisitely curated showing of diverse identities, spanning the genres of indie, alternative, folk, pop, electronic music, and rock, as it incorporates her experiences from studying music in China and France. Her writing evokes the astute and playful lyrics of Serge Gainsbourg, and the vivid narratives in the French Chanson genre with elements of Canto-pop music, inspired particularly by the Chinese artist Faye Wong.
Juliane has been building her artist profile through gigging in NYC’s vibrant singer-songwriter scene and expanding her outreach through gigs nationally and internationally, most notably with intimate gigs in Shanghai. In addition, she’s received exposure through having tracks played on Fairchild Radio and TV broadcast in Canada.
A foundational moment in her life’s work timeline occurred while in college in the East Asian Studies Department at the University of Chicago. She was studying the great Italian composer Giacomo Puccini and became inspired by the fact that he integrated Eastern music within one of his operas. It was a revelatory moment: Previously she was a prodigiously talented singer-songwriter with a separate intuitive gift for linguistics and understanding different cultures. This light bulb moment helped her discover the harmony in the space between these worlds.
“Ethnomusicology and songwriting are similar in a lot of ways. Ethnography is really about description, observation, and interpretation. Songwriting is similar, but in writing songs the author can blend fact with fiction—it’s more flexible,” she says.
The Space Between The Telephone Lines uses pop conventions to explore intriguing, contrasting dialogues in music styles, cultures, and love. “The progress and innovations in pop have made it the perfect medium to explore different cultures and genres to create a fresh artistic vocabulary,” Juliane reveals. The album standout, “When You Sleep,” blends elegantly essential classical motifs with sweet folk pop. The accompanying video presents a charmingly quaint snapshot of new love. “That’s about when you get to that point in a relationship when you are so crazy-mad-in-love that you start second-guessing what you have,” Juliane says. The sublime, pastoral pop of “Rhythm & Blues” dissects long distance relationships in a playfully conceptual video and lyric scheme, referencing the Chinese myth of the red string of fate that connects destined lovers.
Throughout the album Juliane innovatively explores an East-West cultural exchange. She sings portions of songs in Chinese, boldly challenging herself to keep thematic and melodic continuity within Western pop conventions. Further enriching the East-West artistic dialogue, Juliane covers a song by beloved Canto-pop artist Faye Wong who previously ignited her own cultural exchange with a gorgeous version of the Cranberries “Dreams.”
The album was tracked in Nashville and produced by Juliane and Doug Beiden. Reflecting on the profound journey to arrive at The Space Between The Telephone Lines, Juliane says: “For me, answering big questions about music, culture, and life has always been a part of my songwriting. I’m always looking for new ways of understanding music, and I’ve always been interested in how writing music can be linked to individual biography and social history. I’m forever fascinated with that moment of creation, it always seems magical.”

Denise Getgen, chief of protective services for the Pennsylvania Department of Aging, discusses elder abuse with Rabbi Address on the April 8 Boomer Generation Radio program, in the opening segment sponsored by Kendal Corporation. Visit the department's Protective Services page.
In the second half of the program,Betty Long, president and CEO of Guardian Nurses, Bala Cynwyd, discusses healthcare advocacy for seniors.
Betty Long, RN, MHA
President & CEO
Guardian Nurses
Betty Long, RN, MHA, founded Guardian Nurses Healthcare Advocates after guiding several elder family members through the healthcare system. She couldn't help but wonder, what happens to patients who do not have a nurse in the family?
To test her theory that nurse advocates would benefit patients and families, Betty began offering her services for free to friends and word-of-mouth referrals. The response was overwhelming. Betty developed a business plan and incorporated Guardian Nurses Healthcare Advocates in October 2003. That was 10 years ago!
The Guardian Nurses' philosophy of championing patients' rights to quality healthcare was inspired by the story of Florence Nightingale, often credited with being the "Mother of Modern Nursing." The young nurse, working in overcrowded hospital wards during the Crimean War, noticed an extraordinarily high incidence of respiratory infections among the soldiers. She took the bold step of opening the ward windows, which resulted in a marked decrease in the infection rate. With that small intervention, the first nurse advocate is thought to have saved countless lives.
In the spirit of "The Lady with the Lamp," Guardian Nurses Healthcare Advocates now lights the way through the healthcare maze for thousands of patients and families.

She believes in the power of mediation because she’s been there. Roseann experienced a successfully mediated divorce that allowed her to move on with her life.

She also channels her vast experience and understanding of family issues and corporate business into a weekly radio show. She hosts “Family Affaires,” which reaches a worldwide audience through WTER Radio.

Sandy Tankoos, founder of the website TOS50.com ("The other side of fifty"), is the November 19 guest on Boomer Generation Radio. The sections of the website deal with a wide range of interests for Baby Boomers and others over 50. [powerpress]
Sandy Tankoos' bio [caption id="attachment_2386" align="alignleft" width="124"]
Sandy Tankoos, founder of the website TOS50.com[/caption] Sandra Tankoos (Sandy) was the founder and President of two successful court reporting agencies, Tankoos Reporting Company, Inc. and Ar-Ti Recording, Inc. for 28 years. During that time her companies were awarded and worked with many government contracts on the Federal, State and local levels, as well as servicing an ever growing private clientele. Sandy and her companies enjoyed an excellent reputation within the reporting industry. Upon graduating college, Sandy worked as a Spanish teacher for 11 years. She has a BA from Queens College of the City of New York and a Masters Degree in Spanish from C.W. Post College in Long Island. In 2006 Sandy decided to retire. At that time she sold both companies to a friendly competitor. Since then she has spent more time with her husband, children and grandchildren, traveling and volunteering for organizations that are important to her. She also began to use the Internet more frequently and discovered that going from site to site could sometimes be time consuming. She began to search for one site that would cover a variety of subjects that she found interesting. Not being able to find such a site is what planted the seed that eventually grew into TOS50.com, a website that explores areas of interest for those of us who are on The Other Side of 50.

Santa Fé, NM-based author Chad Stone, author of Confessions of a Middle-Aged Babe Magnet," is Rabbi Address's guest on the August 27 episode of Boomer Generation Radio on WWDB-AM 860 Philadelphia.
About Chad Stone
Author Chad Stone Chad Stone is a dating success story. He got divorced after 25 years of marriage and bravely entered the world of modern dating. He embraced his new single life and began to learn everything he could about dating, relationships, and finding love again.
Mr. Stone interviewed single adults of both sexes to get insights about what works and what doesn't work when searching for a romantic partner. He researched online dating, and he helped other single adults write effective online dating profiles. As part of his research, he attended dating events including "speed dating" evenings and dating mixers. His research and personal dating experience became the basis for his humorous memoir, Confessions of a Middle-Aged Babe Magnet: One Man's Brave Adventure into Dating Again in the 21 st Century .
Stone frequently appears as a guest on radio and TV shows to discuss dating and relationships. He brings much-needed humor and common sense to finding love and keeping the romance alive in a loving relationship. He is a frequent contributor to a wide variety of online and print publications, and he has also served as a featured "Advice from Men" contributor to datingwithoutdrama.com.
"Relationships are supposed to be fun," says Stone. "Looking for the love of your life is also supposed to be fun. I am constantly looking for the humor and the lighter side of dating and relationships, and I encourage everyone to do the same. Going on a first date--or going on a date night with your spouse--should be an enjoyable experience. If it feels like a chore or it feels like work, you're not doing it right. You need to lighten up and enjoy the moment."
Chad Stone shares his own personal brand of dating and relationship advice (often humorous) on his blog. His first book about dating, Confessions of a Middle-Aged Babe Magnet, was published in 2012. The book is available on amazon.com and at selected retailers.
Chad Stone owns a successful marketing and public relations business. He lives with his wife (who he met on a popular online dating site) in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Zeeshan Zaidi, lead singer and producer of the New York-based indie rock band The Commuters, joins Steve Lubetkin on this edition of the Middle Chamber Books and Music Podcast.
[powerpress]
From The Commuters' website:
Before forming the Commuters in 2010, Canadian-born, Philippines-raised frontman Zeeshan Zaidi (whose parents were born in Pakistan and India) spent many years in the music industry. His early accomplishments included producing and engineering Grammy-nominated artist Ryan Leslie’s first demo, and he subsequently worked in the marketing departments of major labels in New York helping to develop the careers of other versatile artists, including OutKast and Cee Lo Green. During this time, Zaidi was also honing his craft as a singer, songwriter and musician, performing around New York’s open mic circuit.
When the time arrived to put his own abilities as a performer front and center, he immediately shared a dozen demos of his songs with childhood friend, New York-based producer and soon-to-be Commuters guitarist Uri Djemal, who was also raised in the Philippines (by parents of Israeli and American descent). The two got to work co-producing Zaidi’s songs at Djemal’s Madpan Studios in Manhattan, where Djemal had produced many well-known artists in New York’s indie-rock scene. Says Zaidi: “Uri’s studio was a few blocks from my apartment and he was telling me for years to come work on my songs there. One day — when I knew it was time — I just walked over and we started.”
Soon, they were joined by Djemal’s previous collaborator, Ben Zwerin on bass and Paul Amorese behind the drums, solidifying the current lineup.

Shortly before 3 p.m. Monday, Mt. Laurel Rabbi Ben David, senior rabbi of Adath Emanu-El and an avid marathon runner, had just checked off his “lifelong dream” of competing in--and completing--the Boston Marathon.
His official time of three hours, 21 minutes and 37 seconds--a personal best--put “the running rabbi” across the finish line as the 6,245th finisher.
Then, as he approached his hotel near the marathon’s finish line, the lifelong dream took a darker turn. Two bombs exploded on Boylston Street a few blocks apart, killing at least three people, including an eight-year-old boy, and severely injuring scores of race spectators.
For David, it was a replay of the nightmare of September 11, 2001, which he witnessed firsthand from lower Manhattan.
In this podcast, Jewish Community Voice correspondent Steve Lubetkin talks with Rabbi David about his experience at the marathon.

Mark Lijek, author of "The Houseguests," a book about his experience hiding with the Canadians in Iran. Mark's escape with his wife Cora and four colleagues from the US Embassy is dramatized in the current Ben Affleck movie, "Argo." In November 1979, Iranian revolutionaries stormed and captured the US Embassy in Teheran.
Angered by the US Government decision to permit the former Shah of Iran to enter the US for cancer treatment, they held US diplomats hostage for more than a year.
Unknown to the revolutionaries, six American embassy staffers in another building on the grounds were able to escape, and made their way into hiding with the help of British, New Zealand, and Canadian diplomats. They ultimately spent more than three months living under the protection of the Canadian embassy, and ultimately left Iran using false Canadian passports.
It wasn't until 1997, when the CIA declassified its own involvement in the "exfiltration" of the six Americans, that the world learned about the CIA's elaborate cover story for the diplomats. It involved creating a fake Hollywood film production, and identities for the six Americans as Canadian filmmakers come to Iran to scout for locations to use in the movie. The story was first revealed by Joshua Bearman in Wired magazine in 2007 ("How the CIA Used a Fake Sci-Fi Flick to Rescue Americans From Tehran"), and in The Master of Disguise: My Secret Life in the CIA, a book by Antonio "Tony" Mendez, the CIA agent who orchestrated the exfiltration.
It's the topc of Ben Affleck's new blockbuster movie, "Argo." But the real story is just as good as the Hollywood thriller, if not better.
In episode #34 of the Middle Chamber Books and Music Podcast, we interview Mark Lijek, one of the six Americans exfiltrated by Tony Mendez. Mark has written his own memoir of his time in hiding with the Canadians, The Houseguests: A Memoir of Canadian Courage and CIA Sorcery.

JASON JENNINGS
Authority on Leadership, Growth and Innovation
Jason Jennings is a researcher and one of the most successful and prolific business and leadership authors in the world and his greatest thrill is helping lead individuals and companies to their full economic potential.

Later, he founded Jennings-McGlothlin & Company, a consulting firm that became the world's largest media consultancy and his legendary programming and sales strategies are credited with revolutionizing many parts of the broadcasting industry.
He traveled the globe in search of the world's fastest companies for his landmark book, It's Not the Big That Eat the Small - It's the Fast That Eat the Slow. Within weeks of its release it hit the Wall Street Journal, USA Today and New York Times Bestsellers Lists. Now published in 32 languages, USA TODAY named it one of the top 25 books of the year! Next, he and his research teams identified the world's ten most productive companies for his bestseller Less Is More.
That was followed by his book, Think BIG - Act Small, which profiled the only ten companies in the world to have organically grown both revenues and profits by double digits every year for ten consecutive years. Like all his previous books it debuted on all the bestseller charts. His next book, Hit the Ground Running - A Manual for Leaders revealed the tactics and strategies of the ten CEO's who created the greatest amount of economic value between 2000 and 2009.
His latest book for his publisher Penguin Putnam, The Reinventors - How Extraordinary Companies Pursue Radical Continuous Change was released on May 10, 2012 and reveals the secrets of those leaders and organizations that have successfully reinvented and transformed themselves. In total, Jennings and his researchers have screened and studied more than 200,000 companies. Along the way he found time to join forces with well known cardiologist Dr. John Kennedy and coauthor the 2010 Health, Mind and Body bestseller, The 15 Minute Heart Cure –The Natural Way to Release Stress and Heal Your Heart in Fifteen minutes a Day.
Critics call his books, "extraordinarily well researched, insightful, crisply written, accessible, intriguing and a vital resource for everyone in business," and USA TODAY calls Jennings one of the three most in-demand business speakers on the planet along with the authors of Good to Great and In Search of Excellence. When not traveling the world on research, in search of adventure, and doing eighty keynote speeches each year, Jennings and his family split their time between the San Francisco bayside community of Tiburon, California and their lodge, Timber Rock Shore on a small lake in Michigan’s northern peninsula where they share the environment with native moose, bear, deer, wolves and soaring eagles.

We're pleased to present our first Jewish Sacred Aging seminar podcast, featuring a workshop conducted by Rabbi Address at M'kor Shalom in Cherry Hill, NJ on "The Art of Care-Giving." This program is part of the synagogue's Health and Wellness Initiative, which is based on the care-giving chapter in Rabbi Address's newest book, Seekers of Meaning. (Click on the book's title to purchase.)
Rabbi Richard F. Address is the senior rabbi at Congregation M'kor Shalom in Cherry Hill, NJ. He was called to the congregation after 33 years with the Union for Reform Judaism, where he most recently served as the specialist and congregation consultant for the North American Reform movement in the program areas of Caring Community and Family Concerns.
His work has been based on the belief that a congregation, to be a true “caring community”, must be founded on a theology of sacred relationships. A major part of Address’s work has been in the development and implementation of the project on Sacred Aging.
This project has been responsible for creating awareness and resources for congregations on the implication of the emerging longevity revolution with growing emphasis on the aging of the baby boom generation. This aging revolution has begun to impact all aspects of Jewish communal and congregational life.
Rabbi Address was ordained at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion (HUC-JIR) inCincinnati (1972) and served congregations in California before joining the staff of the Union for Reform Judaism (formerly the Union of American Hebrew Congregations) in 1978. He directed the Union’s Pennsylvania Council from 1978 through 2000. In 1997 he founded the Department of Jewish Family Concerns and went full time in New York in January of 2001. Rabbi Address received a Certificate in Pastoral Counseling from the Post Graduate Center for Mental Health in 1998 and his Doctor of Ministry from HUC-JIR in 1999. He also received his honorary Doctorate from HUC-JIR in 1997.

In less than a decade, social media seems to have “taken over the world.” As one of the largest social networking sites, Facebook® boasts more than 750 million people actively using its service, with more joining every day. However, the vast majority of companies did not immediately join the social media revolution. Instead, they observed from the sidelines. But when the first wave of companies did join, it was because they anticipated the significant business benefits of “this brave new world” – where the personal, the professional, and the commercial combine seamlessly, and in the blink of an eye.
ACE recognizes that social media has created a whole new world of privacy, security, intellectual property, employment practices, and other legal risks. In this podcast, we will discuss the business benefits of social media participation, and how the cost of non-participation – or opting out – could mean anything from losing business to losing touch with your customers. We will also provide risk managers and business owners with some background on the risks of social media participation, discuss a few basic steps to address a company’s social media risks, and provide a roadmap to help make social media work for their company. Most important, we’ll explain why a coordinated approach to managing the risks and liabilities when using social media is an essential best practice.
You can download the free white paper on this topic by visiting the ACE USA website, click on "ACE Progress Reports, and then on the report entitled, "Social Media: The Business Benefits May be Enormous, But Can the Risks – Reputational, Legal, Operational – Be Mitigated?”

In this episode of the Middle Chamber Books and Music Podcast, we speak with Michael Kesler, Ph.D., author of Shards of War: Fleeing To & From Uzbekistan, his memoir of the harrowing experience he and his sister Luba encountered as Jewish teenagers fleeing the Ukraine ahead of the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. After the war, they returned to their hometown of Dubno and found all 8,000 Jews, including their parents and relatives, in mass graves, and their home taken over by Ukrainians. Blinded by glaucoma in 2006, Michael edited and published his late wife Regina's memoir, GRIT: A Pediatrician's Odyssey From a Soviet Camp to Harvard, about a family's struggle with cancer.

In this ACE Group podcast, Barbara Deas, President, ACE Westchester Environmental, the U.S.-based wholesale focused property & casualty operation of the ACE Group, and Bill Hazelton, Senior Vice President of ACE Environmental Risk, a unit of ACE USA, the U.S.-based retail operation of the ACE Group, will examine the implications of the growing environmental sensitivity that has been reflected in the evolution of environmental laws, the historical evolution of public concerns about the environment, and ensuing regulations over the past five decades.
In addition, they will examine the evolution of insurance laws and insurance liabilities stemming from incidents of toxic waste and the spread of contamination. They will also discuss how the rigid stance toward environmental regulation has led government at all levels to increasingly require both environmental and non-environmental contractors and consultants to carry pollution liability coverage, as a condition of bidding on and winning projects. Finally, they will discuss the expanded environmental risks and liabilities faced by contractors and environmental consultants resulting from external influences, highlight environmental liability and key coverage concerns, and offer some best practices with regard to quality insurance protection.

Some critics of public relations practice suggest that it’s an oxymoron to mention ethical behavior and public relations in the same sentence. Our guest on this episode of the Lubetkin on Communications Podcast disagrees with that criticism – vehemently and successfully. We present a conversation with Ann Subervi, president and CEO of Utopia Communications, a public relations agency dedicated to the proposition that public relations can be practiced “ethically, transparently and with the highest of principles.” Ann is the 2010 chair of the PRSA Counselors’ Academy, and a leading advocate of principled, socially responsible public relations practice. She blogs about ethical issues in public relations at The Ethical Optimist Blog. Listen to the podcast here:

South Jersey Rabbi Andy Bossov, senior rabbi at Temple Adath Emanuel in Mt. Laurel, Burlington County, will join thousands of other walkers for the National Kidney Foundation’s Zoo Walk this Sunday at the Philadelphia Zoo.
Bossov, a Mt. Laurel resident, made international headlines two and a half years ago, when he received a live kidney donation from Presbyterian minister Karen Onesti, who offered to donate her kidney when she learned at a gathering of local clergy that Bossov needed one.
In this news wrapper with correspondent Steve Lubetkin (loo BEHT kin), Bossov (BAH sawv) talks about the experience and describes the goals of the Zoo Walk.

In this episode of the Lubetkin on Communications Podcast, we present a conversation with Don Middleberg about the Second Annual Middleberg/SNCR Global Survey of Media in the Wired World. A press release about this year’s study is on the SNCR website. Don broke new ground in the early 1990s surveying journalists about their use of the Internet and the emerging technology of the World Wide Web. For years, his Middleberg-Ross Survey, conducted wit the Columbia School of Journalism, provided important information on how journalists were using these new tools. The survey was revived under sponsorship of the Society for New Communications Research last year. Results of last year’s study are available here. Journalists can complete this year’s study at http://www.sncr-middleberg-2009survey.com.questionpro.com/ Listen to the podcast here:

We have renamed our podcast to match the new branding of our blog. “Lubetkin on Communications” better captures the goal of our blog and podcast series, which is to provide a forum for discussion of important communications and public relations issues with newsmakers in the field. But in this episode, we depart from our coverage of public relations to chat with an old friend, David Kwechansky of Toronto, about the most famous electric locomotive in railroading history, the GG-1. David commissioned Grif Teller, the Pennsylvania Railroad’s legendary calendar artist, to paint the image above for David’s personal collection. Then he got a bright idea. Wouldn’t it be cool to ask NJ Transit for a ride on that exact GG-1 locomotive? I was doing public relations for Conrail. Conrail was the contract operator of commuter rail service for NJ Transit in New Jersey when I was assigned to make the arrangements for David’s engine ride. David’s journey to New Jersey to ride GG-1 #4884 and pick up his painting from Grif Teller’s Little Falls, NJ, studio were the subject of an extensive article in Trains Magazine in December 1981.
Three years later, “PodWife” Judy and I got to ride in the cab of GG-1 #4877 when NJ Transit sponsored a special railfan excursion to celebrate the retirement of the last GG-1 from regular rail service. There were several railfan rides on October 29, 1983, but Judy and I were lucky enough to be in the cab on the very last run of the day…and I had a microcassette recorder with me to capture some of the sounds – decades before podcasting became available.

In this special episode of the Middle Chamber Books Podcast, we present a workshop with Dr. Richard Selznick, Ph.D., a nationally known psychologist, about his newly published book, The Shut-Down Learner: Helping Your Academically Discouraged Child.
This workshop was recorded at Temple Emanuel in Cherry Hill, NJ, on Sunday, March 1, 2009. This podcast is also being cross-posted to the Temple Emanuel Podcast series as Episode #7
A psychologist, nationally certified school psychologist, graduate school professor and university professor of pediatrics, Dr. Selznick has great sensitivity for the topic. Dr. Selznick has consulted with thousands of families over the years on the issues related to The Shut-Down Learner. Included in the book are numerous case studies drawn from vast professional experiences.
As Director of the Cooper Learning Center, Dr. Selznick oversees a program that assesses and treats a broad range of learning and school-based academic and behavioral problems. The Cooper Learning Center is a Division of the Department of Pediatrics, of Cooper University Hospital. The Hospital is a leading teaching hospital in the region. With its affiliation to UMDNJ (University of Medicine and Dentistry in New Jersey), many of its faculty are represented as among the best in the region. The Cooper Learning Center was established by Dr. Selznick within the Pediatric Department in 1995. It is the leading program in the region offering a variety of different services, including parent and teacher training along with its clinical practice.
Dr. Selznick additionally works as a school consultant, and is asked to lecture frequently to parents and teachers on a variety of different topics. Throughout the year, Dr. Selznick speaks to numerous parent groups through schools, regional conferences, and lectures at Cooper University Hospital and the newly established Cooper Center for Women. Popular topics of Dr. Selznick’s include: “Myth’s & Realities of Dyslexia,” “Dealing With Bullying: Is Your Child a Shark or Shark Meat,” “Parenting Dilemmas: Regaining Control of the Ship,” “Managing Your ADHD in College,” among many others. In the spring of 2007, Dr. Selznick spoke to over 200 teachers on the topic of the Shut- Down Learner and the signs to notice in early childhood. Known for presenting with humor and a down to earth style, Dr. Selznick offers his audience an enjoyable experience, with practical and very applicable strategies for the challenging issues they are faced with their children.
Dr. Selznick has been invited to appear on radio and television to discuss a variety of children’s issues. Within the last year, Dr. Selznick appeared on the nationally syndicated Lynne Doyle show, “It’s Your Call.” The topic of discussion was whether same-sex schools were advantageous.
In the summer of 2007, Dr. Selznick was an invited guest on the Michael Smerconish radio show (1210 WPHT) to discuss the current trend of “redshirting” kindergarten students.

On December 31, 2008, the Israeli Consulate General in New York hosted a "citizens' press conference" and invited interested parties to send the Consulate questions about the recent Israeli military actions in the Gaza Strip, using the social media website Twitter.com. This is probably the first time a country's diplomats have embraced the use of Twitter for outreach to audiences for their messaging.
For those not familiar with it, Twitter is a microblogging website where users communicate with their friends or "followers" in terse, 140-character messages designed to fit the text messaging function of cell phones in a way that makes the communications tool highly portable.
Social media initiatives embraced by the Israeli Consulate also include a Facebook page, a MySpace presence, a blog about Israeli life and culture, a blog about Israeli politics, and a YouTube channel. The transcript of the Twitter press conference is hosted on the political blog.
In this podcast, we talk with David Saranga, Consul for Media and Public Affairs at the Israeli Consulate General.
Before joining the consulate, David served as Deputy Spokesperson at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Israel, and was responsible for contact with the foreign media. He previously served in Israel’s embassies in Romania and Spain.
As Consul for Media and Public Affairs, David Saranga is responsible for having direct contact with America’s New York-based national media, and for public relations. One of his job’s main goals is to show the real face of Israel, that which lies beyond the news headlines. One of the innovative tools he uses to do this is this Blog.
Consul Saranga has both extensive academic and private sector experience.
He was a Manager of the Direct Marketing Department, Visa-Israel Credit Cards and worked as National Sales Executive at Kidum Ltd.
Consul Saranga has been engaged as an academic since 1989, when he worked as a Teaching Assistant at the Hebrew University. Subsequent work has included one year as Director of Studies and Lecturer in Marketing Management at the Open University in Israel.

In June, the International Association of Online Communicators (IAOC) held its international conference in Reykjavik, Iceland. In October, the Icelandic economy collapsed, the three largest banks were nationalized, and tens of thousands of Icelanders found themselves unable to withdraw money from their savings accounts to pay for ordinary expenses. Mortgages and car loans written in foreign currencies became impossibly expensive, and the country's government went hat in hand to the International Monetary Fund and even to Russia for foreign aid.
In the forthcoming Fall issue of Attitudes, the semi-annual color magazine of the Jewish Federation of Southern New Jersey (on newsstands in early November), I'll have an article about Iceland as a travel destination. In this podcast conversation with Hjörtur Smárason, we update the economic situation in Iceland and talk about how Icelanders are coping with their changed status. Hjortur is an Icelandic social media and marketing consultant who also authors several blogs in Icelandic, and one, Marketing Safari, in English. Recently, he's focused some of his blogging on the emotional and economic impact of the credit crunch on Iceland.

For podcast #6, in the series, we interview two student journalists who will be participating in the on-site student-run newsroom covering the conference.
Alex Kowalski is a junior news-editorial major at UNC-Chapel Hill. He writes for campus newspapers, magazines and his food blog, readthebiscuit.com. Although he would one day like to work in print journalism, he has found a new niche in online journalism. With experience as an intern at cqpolitics.com this summer and (hopefully) a computer science minor, he would like to develop news sites and interactive Web-based applications. His current project is launching chapelhillvoice.com, an online-only news site for his campus. When Alex is not toiling over Oxford commas or lines of php code, he is out rowing for the university's crew team.
Abby Selden is a junior at Belmont University in Nashville. She produces print and video content for Belmont's student news site and spent last summer as an Editorial Intern at Journal Communications, Inc., custom magazine media. She also writes articles for the Nashville Mayor's Homelessness Commission Online Newsletter.
As the Peer Tutor for a Belmont broadcasting class, Abby taught new students how to write scripts and edit video.
A Birmingham, Ala., native, Abby is an Honors Program student, member of Alpha Chi Honor Society and recipient of the 1st place award in On-Site News Writing at the 2007 Southeast Journalism Conference. Abby enjoys song-writing, movie trivia and volunteering at a local family homeless shelter.

Program title: "A River Runs Through It: Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware Employment Laws & Issues"
Speakers:

Only the Delaware River separates NJ,PA and DE geographically, but they are worlds apart in their laws regulating the workplace. NJ places greater burdens and restrictions on employers, while providing employees with many additional remedies and causes of action. PA provides employees with fewer causes of action, but does present greater risks and liabilities as to some areas of employment law -- such as wage payment and collection. And it's a "small wonder" that DE, just down the river, has its own set of rules, too. Further muddying the waters are the procedural and administrative differences in initiating employment discrimination claims in each jurisdiction.
This panel discussion identified key areas of concern and helps counsel to companies with operations in all three states navigate the variations in state law.

Wal-Mart Helps Raise $20,000 through Partnership
with Muscular Dystrophy Association
“Bowl for a Cure Challenge” fund-raiser and store grants each contribute to grand total
STRATFORD, NJ (June 8, 2008) – Ten hours of non-stop bowling means more funding for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) and ever-lasting pride for Wal-Mart associates.
Wal-Mart’s Market 279 – of Southern New Jersey – recently teamed with the MDA to host “Bowl for a Cure Challenge,” at La Martinque Lanes in Stratford, where market team members bowled for 10 straight hours to earn pledges from corporate sponsors.
Stores within the market contributed $10,000 from their community grant funds to the MDA, while sponsors of the event matched the donation – pledging $1,000 for each hour associates bowled – bringing the grand total to $20,000.
Photos from the event are available for use by the news media at this link.
“We’re very grateful to Wal-Mart for their continued generosity and tireless efforts in making this event a success,” said Melanie Morgan, program director for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. “Through partnerships like these, the MDA is able to continue to provide hope and solutions to the countless Americans afflicted with these diseases.”
The Muscular Dystrophy Association is a voluntary group of dedicated scientists and concerned citizens aimed at defeating the neuromuscular diseases that affect more than one million Americans through research programs, medical and community services, and public health education. The MDA supports more research for neuromuscular diseases than any other private-sector organization in the world.
“The stores within our market took great pleasure in helping the MDA get that much closer to achieving its goals,” said Leon Schneider, MGM of Wal-Mart’s Market 279. “The Bowl-A-Thon was a perfect way for Wal-Mart’s associates to lend a hand to those in need, while having a fun-filled day with their co-workers, families and friends.”

This podcast is Temple Emanuel Podcast #5, an interview with Associate Rabbi Geri Newburge about the Temple Emanuel Youth Alternative Weekend program, which took place last November.
Last November, Temple Emanuel young people spend the weekend of the annual teacher's convention on an alternative retreat in Baltimore that combined social, spiritual, and community action activities.
In April, the program won the Irving J. Fain Award from the Religious Action Center of the Union for Reform Judaism. Rabbi Geri Newburge, our associate rabbi, accepted the Award RAC's Consultation on Conscience program in Washington.
The award is named in honor of the late Irving J. Fain, who was Chair of the Commission on Social Action of Reform Judaism for more than a decade.
In its citation, the Reform Action Center said "Temple Emanuel’s youth program is modeled after the college Alternative Spring Break. Held in November when schools were closed for an annual teachers’ convention, Temple Emanuel exposed students to the effects of poverty through a volunteer program in Baltimore, MD. Participants volunteered in three agencies including a soup kitchen, a food bank and a transitional homeless shelter. After returning, they dedicated themselves to educating others in the congregation about the shared responsibility to work for social and economic justice."
In this podcast, Rabbi Newburge discusses the program and the award, and the challenges of developing compelling program for Jewish young people.

Noting with sadness the passing of President Gerald Ford, we wanted to add a light moment to everyone's memories of the 38th president.
In this very short podcast we present an aircheck excerpt from Tom Snyder's "Tomorrow" show, a late night talk show broadcast on the NBC television network in the 1970s. On April 17, 1976, Snyder opened the broadcast with a blooper of President Ford being introduced at the Daughters of the American Revolution convention in Washington. Snyder's introduction is almost as much of a classic as the actual blooper.

During the 1976 presidential election campaign, I was a student broadcaster at WMCX-FM, the radio station of Monmouth College (now Monmouth University), and we obtained press credentials for Gerry and Betty Ford's campaign visits to New Jersey.
Here are images of the press credentials from the visits:
Gerald Ford Shut Down Tom Jarriel Questions During NJ Campaign Visit in 1976
I remember vividly that when Air Force One arrived at what is now Atlantic City International Airport (then it was the FAA's NAFEC test facility near Pomona, NJ), Ford strode off the plane to face a bullpen full of reporters, including the White House press corps, which had landed in its own plane just a few minutes before Air Force One. Tom Jarriel, then White House correspondent for ABC News, immediately tried to start the questioning, but Ford waved him off.
| | | Tom Jarriel |
"I'd like to take questions from the local media first, Tom," Ford said with a smile. Even as a young college radio reporter, I knew that he had won over the local news media by shutting down Jarriel.
The next day, Betty Ford made a separate visit to New Jersey. Her plane landed at the old passenger terminal at Newark Airport. It was kind of ridiculous but we had to drive all the way to Newark Airport to get our press credentials, then ride the press bus all the way back to Monmouth County, where she made an appearance at the Monmouth Mall in Eatontown, and then back on the bus to the airport to retrieve our car and drive BACK to Monmouth County again.
At the airport, Betty was met by a CB Radio club (CB Radio was the Internet of the 1970s) that presented her with a windbreaker personalized with her CB "handle," or nickname, which was "Big Mamma."
I've got some good Kodachromes from the Ford visits. You will find them in the next few days at my website.

In this podcast we present excerpts of remarks by Max Soliven, publisher of the Philippine Star newspaper, from his presentation to the Public Relations Society of the Philippines at the 13th National Public Relations Congress in Manila on September 28, 2006.
I met Max when we both spoke to the PRSP conference, and was impressed to learn of his journalistic career, which began when Vietnam was still called Indochina. As a "newsman in the trenches," Max covered the French military disaster in Indochina, the US military conflict in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, and went on to cover insurgencies and uprisings all over Southeast Asia. He was jailed for a time during the Ferdinand Marcos regime in the Philippines, and was charged with criminal libel by President Corazon Aquino for a story his paper published claiming that she hid under a bed during the military coup that overthrew her regime.
As publisher of one of the largest newspapers in the Philippines, Max wrote a 2,000 word column six days a week. Max Soliven died of a heart attack in Japan on November 24, 2006.
His last column, "Is a jingoistic Japan on the rise under Abe? Or is this aging powerhouse no longer dangerous?" filed from Japan, expressed concern about the rise of a new nationalism in the Japanese government.
His newspaper, The Philippine Star, captured his essence in a tribute the next day.

CompuSchmoozeTM July 2006: Face of the WebSurvey Shows Web Increasingly Facing the Far East
By Steven L. Lubetkin Copyright © 2006 Steven L. Lubetkin. All rights reserved.
The most interesting nugget of information in a recent survey about worldwide use of the Internet is not the dramatic slowdown in Internet adoption n 2005 vs. 2004.
It's the surprising fact that Internet users in China are spending more time online than users in other countries -- 17.9 hours each week, compared with just 11.4 hours in the US.
Internet adoption in developed countries only grew about five percent in 2005, a significant slowdown from the 20 percent growth achieved in 2004, according to the "Face of the Web" study conducted by Ipsos Insight, a Canadian market research company (www.ipsos-na.com).
Ipsos has conducted the Face of the Web survey each year since 1999. Today, the survey focuses on responses from among 6,500 adults (3,462 of whom are described as "active Internet users") in 12 key global markets.
Ipsos isn't quite sure why Chinese web-surfers dominated online usage, but survey author Adam Wright of Ipsos thinks that the difficulty of scaling the survey to less urban parts of China may have something to do with the results.
Because most of the respondents in China are in developed urban area are in developed urban areas, they probably have more time and opportunity to go online, he said in an interview over the Skype Internet telephony network.
"As to why they're spending so much time online, there probably isnt one silver bullet or simple answer to this," Wright said. "It's partly a question of how much downtime do consumers have in China, and how are they filling that downtime."
Businesses seeking to grow in online economies need to figure out how to reach Asian consumers, and that can mean developing Internet applications tailored to use via cell phones, Wright added.
Asia is much more skewed toward using a cell phone or handset to go online, he said. The mobile phone could very well beat the PC or rival it from a prevalence standpoint as an Internet platform.
Although Chinese users spend more hours online, it was Japanthat dominated the survey's results for online usage growth. Ipsos estimates more than 75 million Japanese now use the Internet, representing 89% who said they had used the Internet in the past month.
That compared with a 71% usage rate in the US, and 72% in Canada. Internet usage in North America appears to be plateauing, because these numbers remained essentially unchanged from the 2004 survey.
Some other key trends reported in the survey:
North American laptop computer ownership is driving demand for wireless Internet access, as more than a third of the survey respondents in North America said they accessed the 'Netwirelessly in the last month. Also, two-fifths of those who said they heard of wireless technology said they had used it.
-
Europeans are more readily adopting mobile phones as an Internet access device.
-
China's Internet market still has room to grow significantly, with only about half those surveyed indicating they used the 'Net in the last 30 days.
Ipsos expects continued increases in the use of wireless devices worldwide, often in unexpected ways.
"The trends we're seeing in Wireless PC usage, ownership of peripheral devices such as MP3 players and mobile phones, and the presumed rising levels of awareness of and comfort using the Internet globally, really set the stage for a tipping point in the near future for this medium,"said Brian Cruikshank, Ipsos Senior Vice President & Managing Director of the company's Technology & Communications practice. "We anticipate continued growth in consumer adoption of the digital lifestyle globally particularly as consumers become to expect access to the Internet in an anytime/anywhere paradigm for communication, gathering and sharing information, and accessing digital content and entertainment."

Here's the text of the related "CompuSchmoozeTM" column as it appears in the Jewish Community Voice of Southern New Jersey in June.
CompuSchmooze June 2006: AIIM Conference Spotlights New Technologies By Steven L. Lubetkin Copyright © 2006 Steven L. Lubetkin. All rights reserved. WORD COUNT: 672
This year at the AIIM/OnDemand trade show in Philadelphia, we learned about some interesting technologies for business users from Israeli companies.
Some 20,000 people from all 50 states and 62 countries attended the show, according to its producer, Questex Media Group. The show’s focus is technology for high-volume commercial printing, and the “pre-press? hardware and software used to design digital documents and prepare them for conversion into actual printed brochures, books, and other materials.
One technology that could help many companies deal with data security issues is offered by Safend . This Israeli firm, which has its local headquarters team in Two Penn Center in Philadelphia, has developed software that lets computer network administrators monitor and centrally control the devices that are connected to the USB ports on all computers on the network.
Most companies have serious data security issues because of the wide acceptance and use of portable data storage devices like Blackberries, Palm and Windows PDAs and cell phones, and the seemingly ubiquitous “thumb drives,? or “flash drives.?
Because these devices make it easy for users to download and transport data, companies with sensitive data often have little or no control over the data. Safend lets data security professionals determine which devices, if any, will be permitted to function on the network, and also provides a data audit trail that indicates what data was copied onto which devices, and it will identify specific USB ports and computers.
Safend views its software as a productivity enhancer, rather than a security enforcer, according to Ben Campbell, vice president of sales operations.
Safend software allows administrators to authorize specific connections, like a Blackberry, an encrypted flash drive, or wireless, infrared, and other devices depending on individual employees’ needs. It also lets administrators understand how different devices are being used on a company’s network, he said.
Safend has a free “auditor? product available for download from its website, to let users scan their networks for potential vulnerabilities that its full software can address.
“We can really look for all types of threats that can be brought into an organization,? Campbell said. “The perimeter is not as clearly defined as it used to be.?
Elsewhere on the show floor, Lotfi Belkhir, CEO of Kirtas Technologies, demonstrated his company’s APT BookScan 2400 high-resolution image scanning system designed to automate mass-digitization of books.
Amid the high-tech gadgetry on the show floor, the device has a throwback sort of charm reminiscent of Rube Goldberg contraptions.
It flaps its noisy vacuum-powered page-turning finger-like mechanisms to turn the pages of books as digital SLR cameras make images of each set of pages. (There’s a very cool animated digital image of the device on Kirtas’ website at www.kirtas-tech.com.)
“If we didn’t digitize all of those books in the next 20 or 30 years, future generations would ignore that information,? he explained. “Our children today think that everything is on Google, and if it’s not on Google, it doesn’t exist for them.?
The device is aimed at libraries and scientific institutions with large amounts of bound documents that need to be preserved digitally, Belkhir said.
“Our most precious documents, we tend to bind them to preserve them for a long time,? said Belkhir, noting that his company’s device can rapidly complete the image scanning of books at the rate of 2,400 pages per hour, completing a book of 300 pages in about eight minutes, compared to a manual scanning process taking one day per book.
Algorithmic Research Inc. is trying to make it easier for users to add reliable digital signatures to electronic documents with its CoSign product.
Managing the process to create these signatures has previously been complex, discouraging users from employing it, said Gad Aharoni, Algorithmic Research CEO.
The company’s product makes signature management simpler, and enables users to transmit unforgeable documents electronically, dramatically reducing the need for hard copies and manual signatures.

In this edition of our podcast, we present a telephone interview with Cheryl Procter-Rogers, president of the Public Relations Society of America, the world's largest professional organization for public relations practitioners.
In a February speech to PR students at Ball State University, Procter-Rogers addressed three critical issues for shaping the future of the public relations profession. Diversity, ethics and risk are becoming increasingly critical to the financial success of businesses, she said. Cheryl also spoke to the students about the dangers of succumbing to "confirmation bias," a kind of complacency in which mass media audiences only pay attention to news and opinion content that matches their own belief system closely.
With more than 25 years experience in the public relations arena, Cheryl Procter-Rogers is currently corporate affairs director for Home Box Office (HBO), where she is responsible for the development and implementation of public relations and integrated marketing communications strategies across 11 states in the Midwest.
Before joining HBO, she worked as a communications consultant in the Chicago area, assisting such clients as Sears Roebuck & Co., Nissan North America, Inc., Allstate Insurance Company, McDonald's Corporation, and HBO in developing and implementing internal and external communications strategies supporting critical business objectives.
Cheryl holds an M.B.A. from Keller Graduate School of Management, Chicago, IL; a B.S. in English and Journalism from Bradley University, Peoria, IL; an E-Business Certificate from the School of Business Administration, Loyola University Chicago; and a professional designation in public relations from UCLA Extension.
She was the youngest member of the Los Angeles Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) in Los Angeles to earn the Accreditation in Public Relations (APR), and the first African American woman to earn that honor there.
In 2000, Cheryl became the youngest member ever to be inducted into the Public Relations Society of America's College of Fellows, a distinction held by a little more than 400 individuals in the field of public relations. She, along with Dr. Debra Miller, was the first African-Americans inducted into the College. She was the first African-American elected as president of the 500-member Chicago Chapter of PRSA. She is a charter member and past president of the Black Public Relations Society of Southern California.

CHERRY HILL, NJ -- December 18, 2005 -- Just a week before the beginning of Hanukkah, Temple Emanuel in Cherry Hill, N.J., the largest Reform synagogue in New Jersey, has broken the world’s record for dreidel spinning, with 541 dreidels spun simultaneously for at least ten seconds.
This is an audio news release from the event. Stereo MP3 audio file, 1:45 length, standard outcue.
Radio stations are welcome to use this audio report. Please email steve@lubetkin.net with broadcast usage report.
Background Information
According to the Guinness Book of World’s Records, the previous world’s record of 535 people simultaneously spinning dreidels was set by University of Maryland Hillel in 1999. Today’s dreidel spin record involved 578 participants, including – in an ecumenical demonstration of interfaith cooperation -- a contingent of students from Bishop Eustace Preparatory School, a private Catholic school in Pennsauken.
“We are absolutely thrilled that we’ve broken the world’s record for dreidel spinning,? said Rabbi Debbie Cohen, director of life long learning at the synagogue and organizer of the world record dreidel spin. “More importantly, we gave members of our temple and the surrounding community an exciting, fun opportunity to come together in a playful way and get to know our synagogue a little better.?
The dreidel spin world record is subject to acceptance by the Guinness editors. The final count was supervised by Harry Platt, a councilman and former mayor of Voorhees, and Steven Burkett, a member of M’kor Shalom Synagogue in Cherry Hill and immediate past president of the regional council of the Union for Reform Judaism.
Founded in Cherry Hill (then Delaware Township) in 1950, Temple Emanuel, a member of the Union for Reform Judaism, serves some 1,000 families from Camden, Gloucester and Burlington Counties.
# #
To kick off its community Hanukkah celebration, Temple Emanuel, the largest Reform synagogue in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, will attempt to break the world's record for the most dreidels spinning simultaneously on Sunday December 18 at 1pm. The current record, according to Guiness Book of World's Records, is 535 dreidels, and is held by the Hillel Club at the University of Maryland.
Rabbi Debbie Cohen, director of life long learning at the synagogue, came up with the idea for the dreidel spin.
In this audio news release, Rabbi Cohen explains the world record attempt.
