Considering the difficulties in securing public transportation (the New York City subway carries an estimated 4.5 million riders a day; Washington's carries about 700,000) the government can provide an overall level of security, while local law enforcement agencies can enhance security with increased vigilance. Ultimately, however, you need to take some responsibility for your own personal security. The best way is to maintain a heightened level of situational awareness. Being observant of surroundings and people in your vicinity is essential to identifying potential threats and dangerous situations. Although daily commuters will find it tempting to immerse themselves in a book or newspaper to pass the time, it's a good idea at least to pause long enough to evaluate people as they board at each stop. &# 160 While maintaining good situational awareness, you also need to trust your own instincts. On a primal level, people are aware of potential dangers ...

What business are you in? Today, you, I, and everyone else is in the I.T.C.H. business! Information - to help make good choices and decisions. Transportation - to get people from point A to point B. Communication - to send clear messages that attract resources and relationships. Help - to serve, and improve the lives of others. The more people who's I.T.C.H. you scratch, the more success you'll have. The more ways you scratch a buyer's I.T.C.H., the more business you'll get. Information Everyone needs sound information to make good decisions. In his terrific book, Creating a New Civilization, Alvin Toffler says, "development and distribution of information is the central productivity and power activity of the human race." We organize information into knowledge, and draw upon our experience and wisdom. All these weigh heavily in the choices and decisions we make. You can provide useful information in many forms: Newsletters, special reports, bulletins, audio magazines, online E-zines, etc. If you don't write or can't create one of these in-house, joint venture with someone who does, provided it offers value your audience will appreciate. Your readers (customers, buyers, or prospects) don't really care who writes the information. They care that it has value to them. The three keys to communication are Impact, Frequency, and Medium.

DOT DRUG AND ALCOHOL TESTING REGULATIONS: ARE YOU READY? by Karen Herson and Bill Current Do you know that if you employ anyone who must, in the course of his or her job, possess a commercial driver's license (CDL) and perform safety-sensitive' functions as defined by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), you are required to conduct drug and alcohol testing? Although drug testing had long been mandated by DOT, the Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991 goes further by also requiring alcohol testing and extends coverage to intrastate drivers and all CDL holders. This legislation greatly increased the number of workers covered. DOT estimates that nearly 8 million workers across the country are now affected by the requirements of the Act, which also applies to the aviation, railway, marine, and pipeline industries. The DOT drug and alcohol testing regulations unquestionably represent one of the most complex and costly federal regulations in existence today. Most of the requirements are beyond the capabilities of many small business owners. However, the drug-free workplace consulting firm of Robert Stutman & Associates has developed a product that literally takes the hassle and the exorbitant expense out of complying with the regulations. We'll discuss this in greater depth later in this article. For now, let's examine exactly what the regulations require of you. WHO IS COVERED? The DOT's explanation of safety-sensitive' functions in the motor carrier industry is simply ...

... handle. The attorneys and investigators are consumed with other cases. It shouldn't come as any surprise that 80% of all litigated Workers Compensation claims get to that stage because nobody has communicated with the employee, who is scared, confused, and frustrated by the system. If you run a business, you can reduce malingering significantly if you attend to it at its beginning. The best defense against malingering is active involvement in the employee's claim, starting the minute you receive notice of a claim. Someone in your organization (let's call him or her the firm's rep) should be responsible for ensuring that any employee making a Workers Compensation claim is promptly taken to a doctor, and for immediately informing the Workers Compensation claims department of your insurance company in writing and by telephone. The rep should transport the employee to the physician directly (unless, of course, it's a serious situation that requires the services of an emergency medical transport), and should stay at the doctor's office until any necessary examination and treatment are completed. The rep should then take the applicant home or back to work, as directed by the physician. While at the doctor's office, the firm's rep should ask the physician about the status of the claimed medical condition, what the recommended treatment is, and what might be a reasonable return-to-work date-all in the presence of the employee. If the employee or physician objects to the disclosure of such information, advise them that you are ensuring Workers Compensation compliance, that you need to make sure the employer has sufficient resources to cover for the lost manpower, and that you'll ...

These proprietary formats work acceptably for day-to-day backup, but they're absolute death for long-term storage of important files. Stick with standards You'll save yourself time, money, and aggravation if you choose storage media that have broad industry support and are sold and manufactured by more than one vendor. Although no format lasts forever — even DVDs will someday be obsolete — the more vendors that support the format, the less likely you are to find yourself hanging onto a nice, round, shiny thing that has your document, but won't let you get to it.

Hard disk storage is incredibly cheap, and it's getting cheaper. Online backup services are also a viable option. My personal data backup is performed automatically for me to a secure off-site storage facility from which I can retrieve the data at any time.
