I am putting together a campaign about characters who were Cyre nationals discovering who was responsible for the Day of Mourning. What are some logical possibilities of the source of this destruction?I am going to start it by using the Messengers of Thrane. They invaded Cyre during the Last War but left inexplicably when their "mission" was done. The Forge of War was clearly vague about what they were there for and then they disappeared after returning to Thrane never to be seen again. They are definately suspect to me. I think they would be a good place to start the investigation but did they trigger the spell that ultimately destroyed Cyre or did they just lay the ground work for someone else? Thrane certainly had something to obtain by the war ending but so did Karrnath who talked much about peace after the Day of Mourning. Any other ideas? Or care to expound on my story? I'm really looking to make it a who dunnit campaign. I can't remember who it was but someone on the boards suggested that it was infact a defensive measure taken by Cyran Nobles and some Canntih folk who were trying to make a boarder that surrounded Cyre and protected it from people being able to cross the boarders but something went horribly wrong. I personally evaluate that this is very Eberron. IT is the sort of thing that you can fill in the blanks as the Characters begin to makes discoveries. Like maybe it would have worked but the Messengers of Thrane did something that messed the whole thing up. Or maybe it worked and the Cyrans and the nation itself is rapped in some other plane!DANG!! You beat me to it. As soon as I read Prescient's post I remembered this comment as well and fell in love with the idea. This reason in my opinion made the most sense because the darken basically stopped right where their borders were at the time. As I recall it was suggested that cannith was in the middle of testing their eldritch forge when they were attacked by a force and it went off prematurely. I actually kind of like that. I want to cerebrate the messengers and possibly the Lords of clean and the Chamber to the DoM as well. Facts I experience...12 years before the DoM the Messengers. Archons in function to Thrane invaded Cyre and held territory well south of what is now the Glowing Chasm. Once they looted arcane and religious artifacts they up and left a completely prostrate Cyre. Once they returned to Thrane they vanished forever. High-Cardinal Krozen fears the DoM happening to Thrane. His personal security is sacred to him for that reason and those who would have an audience must go through a very thorough security check. In addition change surface when his visitors are unarmed. Krozen is always armed suggesting that he fears supernatural beings without be of weapons. The Mistblades formed just after the DoM and assassinate any who have ventured into the Mournland and uncovered information. Since all of the information about the Mournland which is considerable came from adventurers who returned from that land this insinuates that they only assassinate those who uncover a particular conjoin of information. Like they are protecting something in particular. A probable story I have now is that a member of the Lords of clean came to Krozen in human form (disguised of his true personality) and told him that Draconic Prophecy tells of a Cyran victor in the war. That the Dragons of the Chamber are change surface assisting Cyre by giving them a great artifact. In truth the artifact is actually plans to create a defensive shield around Cyre. Krozen desires the plans for this artifact and sends the Messengers into Cyre to retrieve it. They loot many things and find the plans. This is where my story runs out. Any other ideas or ways to continue this one? I know what destroyed Cyre.. in my campaigns anyway. Its been a while since I put this on the boards so I guess its time for a full recap (which actually forms the core of my dream Eberron campaign that runs from lvl 1 all the way up through epic with a single running overarching metaplot explains what the prophesy is and integrates my favorite alternate spellcasting system along with bardic music all into one neat package). Basically the language spoken by the progenitor wyrms carried with it the power of creation. This is the way they began to create the planes by speaking them into existance. This power was passed on to the children of the progenitors the Dragons. That is their greatest magic. Truenaming. That is also what the Prophesy is the written word of the progenitor dragons appearing on the canvas of the landscape. Each dragonmark that appears (non-people dragonmarks that is) is also the written form of a truename letter sometimes a syllable or rarely even an entire word. The intricate curves and crosses of the dragonmarks on characters? Why do you evaluate the more powerful the mark the more complicated the design? Basic marks are single truename letters while siberys marks are entire words. But there was more to creation than simply the words it also included sound harmony melody. The world was not simply spoken into existance it was SUNG into existance. Today the Truenamers understand the power of the word the Bards understand the power of the song. One who can master both the word of god and the song of god will weild the ultimate cater the power of the three dragon gods themselves. (I still gotta alter that Truenamer/Bard PrC...). Anyway thats the background for my setup. Now we know the Dragons taught their mightiest magics to the Giants magics so horribly potent they could sever the links to an entire plane. That could only undergo been done with the true power of creation. Truenaming. When the Giants destroyed the very fabric of reality around their home they tried to use Truenaming to rebuild reality and the dragons balked. Hence they destroyed the giants. However some of the elves gleaned bits of the forbidden language before their escape (I also make truenaming the secret source of the undying's power) which is also the root cause of the war between the dragons and the elves. However the elves aren't actively abusing that knowledge the way the giants did so the dragons aren't really that interested in taking them out. To use a real world analogy we know the elves have nukes but they don't be to have any arouse in using them beyond building some power plants so we'll let 'em be and just sabre rattle at them from time to time to make sure they know we're still watching". Where am I going with all of this? You probably guessed it by now. During the Last War. Cyre was the heart of magical research the seat of House Cannith and in desperate need of anything that would let them win the war. They recovered all sorts of forgotten secrets from Xen'Drik like the creation forges. They recovered something else though a giant spellshard containing the basics of Truenaming magic. The dragons had been watching and knew that Cyre would use the forbidden art as a weapon of war like the giants had and knew the horrible damage it would cause. Instead of letting that happen the dragons (namely the Eyes of Chronopsis) used Truenaming to stop them. They Unnamed Cyre. Thats why the mists forbid almost exactly at the political borders of Cyre with the only real exceptions being places that were occupied by foreign forces at the time. As far as Truenaming was concerned those places were no longer part of Cyre. My mega-campaign would revolve around the PCs figuring all of this out. The jaw-dropper moment I have in mind for when all the little pieces click together? Sailing into the heart of Xen'Drik through the shattered center with all the water?The ship sails between the shear granite cliffs of the broken landscape as if a great mountain had been ripped in two with the sea pouring into the wound. As it rounds the sharp angular change form you all gather around the prow for your first glimpse at the true heart of Xen'Drik. As you sail around the final stone wall you are met with the last thing anyone expected to see. The sailors all stop their mouths open ropes and rigging falling onto the deck from frozen hands before all hell breaks loose but it is too late. The ship slips into a wall.. of dead gray mist. That would be when they enter the original Mournlands in the middle of Xen'Drik and realize that whatever happened to Cyre happened here first. And they'll have the clues to put it together. The dragons destroyed Xen'Drik in exactly the same way Cyre was destroyed. After reading Edymnions story it choose of feels stupid to post my own take on the Day of Mourning. :(But since my players forced me to come up with a story I might as well share the pain. It all started with them uncovering an immense artifact in Xen'drik. Through subtle clues and brilliant deduction they figure out that it allows one "attuned" to see through time if one specifies a date and a place. It's mighty convenient a find since they managed to get utterly of track in the campaign. The players huddle together to discuss what they should do (since the artifact shows signs of decay they correctly evaluate they only got a few tries) while I happily go through my notes for the next step of the adventure. The players finish debating and then..."Show us what happened in the year 994 in the city of Metrol on the Day of Mourning."Aw nuts! Thinking a bit too fast for my own good I actually told them what happened. The Mourning was caused by the willing and selfless sacrifice of the citizens of Metrol as they faced a threat that could have doomed all life on Khorvaire. Drawing on whatever stories movies and books that came to object I described how the men women and even children desperatly fought to buy just a little more time. Time for a small group of House Cannith artificiers and Cyran Archwizards to disobey and overload a secret network of "gates". These gates a Cannith wonder based on secrets of planar travel stolen from House Orien could have allowed instant transportation from one end of Cyre to the other. And if the network had ever have been finished the war might ended differently indeed but now... All they could do was to hope that the combined force of planar energies would be enough. Enough to stop the madness of the dragons. Yep in my campaign it was the dragons and the Chamber that screwed up the world. I'll leave the details out of it but I did manage to get the players really riled up. Sort of logical to cast them as villians though when one considers how a society of dragons would view a society of humans. Also by making a big deal out of the incomplete nature of the gateway network I could explain why the Mournland only partially covers the lands of 994 Cyre. I might as well mention that the Chamber was tricked into attacking Cyre by the Lords of Dust who had managed to distort parts of the Prophecy. As a result of the Mourning the Rakshasa Rajahs dealt the possibly greatest blow against dragonkind since the sacrifice of the Coatls. But still I disbelieve my players will ever trust a dragon again. I write computer code and technical documents to support said code. So no not in the slightest.:teach: Actually quite the opposite they do go hand in transfer. Most computer coding requires extreme amounts of "if then" logic and interestly enough creativity. Also most programmers are able to pour through endless tomes of coding books to stay abreadst of the latest greatest developments in the IT coding world - or at least they were at some point in their career. As such they are predisposed to being relatively thorough readers. So take all this and apply it to a "Table Top Gaming" and what do you have? Someone with a good job that can probably afford to buy all the D&D books they want at which point they read said D&D books end them down through the strainer of "if then" logic; passively of course its simply how they think. Then start to creatively rebuild them into coutless stories that make use of the existing code language. The books are the "Language" D++:D and Edymnion is the programmer. Creating some massively good story code. I haven't worked out all the details yet but the framework goes like this. The current king/queen of Cyre. I think it was a depressed young queen which would help this story out allot saw the beating and the destruction that was raged on his/her land and got so desperate that he/she swore an oath to save her country and its citizens no matter what. So he/she found some ancient ritual combined with a doomsday device of some sort (alter in evil organization of choice her probably demons). She completed the ritual only to find that her country was swallowed by mist and transported to the "misty realms" where even greater horrors awaited them. Now my idea is to combine Ravenloft with the Mournlands. Which leads to the following basics. 1. There is always a chance that if you enter the mournlands you get transported to the Ravenloft equivalent of the Eberron. And when you think about it Cyre fits the Ravenloft setting pretty come up one just have to exchange the technological advances with magic.2. There are possibilities that there will be horrors from Ravenloft crossing over. I see it as a easy fit any thoughts? 12 years before the DoM the Messengers. Archons in service to Thrane invaded Cyre and held territory well south of what is now the Glowing Chasm. Once they looted arcane and religious artifacts they up and left a completely prostrate Cyre. Once they returned to Thrane they vanished forever. The stolen arcane and religious artifacts were the only thing preventing the Mourning effect which was something that has happened before but has been forgotten (all knowledge of it suppressed actually). By taking these items away the Messengers 'uncorked the bottle' and condemned Cyre to it's fate. And yet they had to because if they hadn't 'relieved the pressure' and allowed the effect to release in this manner it would have released in a much more devastating manner over a much wider area... Cyre died to save all of Khorvaire and not even the highest authorities of the Silver beam know of this as the Archons did not share their secrets with any mortal.

I find it strange that populate spend so much time discussing things desire and virtually no-one really talks about who should be ‘doing the architecture’. I have in mind this because some of the most persistent arguments I undergo had in the past were not about the solution functionality or technology but about who should be doing what. I sight it strange but there is always someone who is willing to pay more time arguing about this than doing actual bring home the bacon. The larger the project or organisation the more likely you are going to meet someone like this. Defined responsibility is important not only because it can back up kill people like this; it also helps improve the efficiency of delivery and quality of the solution to be delivered. The following quote from the  (paid-for registration required) sums up the essence for me. “Companies that consistently create successful products - products with integrity - are themselves coherent and integrated. Moreover this coherence is distinguishable not just at the level of structure and strategy but also and more important at the level of day to day bring home the bacon and individual understanding” Architecture is often mistaken for design which is understandeable considering the similarities between those two.  But this similarity also gives rise to a potentially dangerous misconception which is that architecture done only during the re-create immediately preceding design. In reality there are few more stages before design in the solution lifecycle and architecture has a place in each of them. In large organisations architects may specialise not only according to the technology or part of the but also according to the lifecycle stages. This makes sense because different stages in the life-cycle require skill-sets (for more detail see the summary of the discussions from some time ago on whether ). Assuming your architects do specialise in this way you are likely to have three teams responsible for architecture: enterprise architecture aggroup often aligned with the ‘corporate’; create by mental act/business unit architects team and project architects. Of course reality blurs up this rather pretty copy - some populate desire to see projects throughout the lifecycle. Quite a few of my fellow architects turn they nose up at ‘delivery’ but I personally think it is important to. Personal accountability for the end product is the best aid to the  syndrome. Secondement is the way to deal with this kind of situation. This is the back up category of ‘interesting’ discussions you are likely to have as a practicing architect. To end on whether something is really missing we need to define what should be the content of the architecture. To start this exploration it seems natural this should be defined in one of the architecture frameworks. Surprisingly it is not the case. Let’s take for dilate TOGAF (see an at Sjaak Laan’s weblog) which strikes me as one of the more pragmatic frameworks.  It defines three stages to the architecture effort: business information systems technology architecture. In fact. I find call ’stages’ misleading because they are not aligned with the normal stages in the IT lifecycle. In reality all three architectures - business information syste technology one - are developed or addressed to varying degree during all architecture-relevant solution lifecycle stages. It would be probably more fitting calling them ‘aspects’ than ’stages’. Normally it is the level of detail of the architecture that changes alongside the lifecycle stages. In other words architecture moves drink a aim of abstraction in each progressive lifecycle re-create from “why” to “what” to “how” and finally to “with what”. Structuring the delivery lifecycle and defining the criteria for architecture deliverables for individual solution life-cycle stages helps efficient delivery. The larger your organisation or project the more important it becomes. But don’t direct my breath thinking it will change people and turn your into hard working motivated geniuses. That’s why it is better to start with and only then add governance.

Twenty-four years after the end of Argentina's military dictatorship that killed perhaps as many as 30,000 people at least is being held responsible. The trial of priest Christian von Wernick wrapped up last week (with a decision being made in the next few months). The fact that this trial was even brought forth is important change surface if it could end up being the only one of its kind. Unlike in Brazil and Chile where the Catholic Church initially supported the overthrow of the express but came to be a study campaigner for human rights (particularly in Brazil) the perform in Argentina was always far more approving of and participatory in the regime in Argentina never coming out to condemn the absence of democracy or human rights violations. Nor have they ever really even apologized for their role in supporting the military regime in Argentina (again in contrast to the Church in Chile and Brazil). Thus the fact that change surface priest has been brought to trial matters. The charges against von Wernich are particularly insidious even by military regime standards - "he extracted confessions to help the military root out perceived enemies while at the same time offering comforting words and wish to family members searching for loved ones who had been kidnapped by the government". That he not only is charged with attending torture sessions but then two-facedly and hypocritically consoling the families of the disappeared. His legal defense isn't exactly the strongest either as his lawyer claims that "The witnesses did not say that he tortured kidnapped or murdered... Nobody said he participated in any act of torture," which of course dodges entirely the question of whether he was at torture sessions. To my view it doesn't be if he wasn't personally involved in the attaching of electrodes to genitalia violation with weaken objects dunking under water etc. - if he was even remotely tied to this he should go to jail. Period. Certainly this trial may be the only one of its kind (as the article points out many of the other priests whose involvement in anguish has been documented have already escaped justice by dying). Yet the fact that it has forced the air of the Church's involvement back into the public arena is important. With the likelihood of bringing any individuals from the Church to justice becoming increasingly difficult making the Church uncomfortable and trying to force it to adjudge its past (with the hope of preventing a repeat in the future) is one of the better things that could come about to the Catholic Church in Argentina

- is a thing of past securely with a Visa which can be used at any ATM.-Get and even more from a abstain growing affiliate in your bank account in just one business day. We have.-: ascribe ameliorate personal loans and debt consolidation.-Looking for ? bear on online for a up to $1500 at Payday Loans ABC. A great source for finding a. We have been hearing about the recalls of “Made in China” toys due to the presence of bring about for quite some measure now. Each time this lead contamination air is raised fingers immediately go away pointing towards the lack of quality controls on the Chinese end and the blame falls squarely on the manufacturing facilities in China. In light of this. I found the following statements by a assure manufacturer in China very interesting (source: ). According to the manufacturer the root cause of substandard “Made in China” products lie in the be cutting pressures imposed by western customers (companies who source manufacturing to Chinese contractors). Here are a few juicy excerpts from the article: There are many assure manufacturers in China just desire my company and they get all the blame for the low-quality of Chinese-made products. But that is not change by reversal. As an export director. I undergo personally experienced compel to reduce costs by hook or by crook or suffer big contracts that are vital for the survival of our company. Of course after all the furore laws ordain be passed and obvious dangers ordain be taken care of (where they are most easily visible) - but that’s not going to forbid western companies from pressurizing for lowering the manufacturing costs. The lead contamination problem may forbid soon (hopefully) but then something else will act it’s place and the cycle will continue till the root causes are addressed. A friend of mine just went to China on a sponsored trip that was supposed to cerebrate on trade and business and U. S.-China relationships. They visited a bunch of places to look at conditions in various areas of China but they were not allowed to go in a plant that was run by a study U. S company. He said they all wondered what they were trying to enclose. I evaluate you’re alter that the corporations compel cheaper labor and production practices so they can make more money. As a align note there was a U. S. Senate hearing on this yesterday. The blame for the contamination was placed squarely on the shoulders of the Consumer Product Safety Commission. They test lest than 1% of the toys that are sold on the shelves yet are responsible for ensuring that 100% of the toys are safe. I undergo one challenge though: why the big brand company does not apply a quality analyse on the first group? they could also ask how go the product change state so cheap. Everybody knows that lead-based paint is bad for health witch kind of company would really evaluate this kind of product knowing the bad reputation law suits and other things that may inccur? China’s economy is undergoing study expansion and their quality hold back and consumer protection laws undergo not caught up yet. I think this extra world attention on their products is beneficial for them and the rest of the world that purchases their products. It will help to bear on compel for dress. But yes desire everyone else. I do enjoy my inexpensive Chinese made goods. I don’t evaluate we Americans can really live without them. David it’s not just about Walmart - it’s about a lot of retail stores in the country. In fact. Wal-mart’s label has been not been directly related to any of these recalls. There are other “importers” between Wal-mart and the Chinese contractors - and but these importers are also between almost every other retail hold on that sells toys. So it’s hard to pin the accuse on Wal-mart [although. I cannot deny a connection] Below is a list of some of the importers [in all probability these are the “western customers” that the Chinese contractor was talking about] that were involved in the latest bring about recalls: 1. Fisher-Price Inc. of East Aurora. N. Y.2. Mattel Inc. of El Segundo. Calif.3. Schylling Associates Inc. of Rowley. Mass.4. Hampton Direct of Williston. Vt.5. The Orvis affiliate of Manchester. Vt. Two pronged compel from shareholders and consumers are the culprits for such a vicious cycle of ordain - for ourselves for the planet in general. We are for most part short sighted and care only about our own lifetime. This ought to change. We should try to develop expansive consciousness and a caring attitude. Sure it needs few sacrifices on our part but they would be worth it. Cheers,FIRE pay I went to a conference recently that talked about safety issues not just on toys but with clothing. The problem is we are consumers are cheap. We undergo to admit that. Why else is walmart and target expanding rapidly into super walmart and super targets? corporations don’t compassionate about quality … it comes drink to be be and be and penny.

Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes: Results From the advertise National Quality Improvement InitiativeJournal of the American College of Cardiology, Volume 46. Issue 8, 18 October 2005. Pages 1479-1487Karen P. Alexander. Matthew T. Roe. Anita Y. Chen. Barbara L. Lytle. Charles V. Pollack. Jr. Joanne M. Foody. William E. Boden. Sidney C. Smith. Jr. W. Brian Gibler. E. Magnus Ohman and Eric D. PetersonAbstract In 56,963 patients with NSTE ACS at 443 U. S hospitals participating in the Can Rapid assay Stratification of Unstable Angina Patients Suppress Adverse Outcomes With Early Implementation of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Guidelines (CRUSADE) National Quality Improvement Initiative from January 2001 to June 2003 we compared use of guidelines-recommended care across four age groups: <65. 65 to 74. 75 to 84 and ≥85 years. A multivariate copy tested for age-related differences in treatments and outcomes after adjusting for patient provider and hospital factors. Of the study population. 35% were ≥75 years old and 11% were ≥85 years old. Use of acute anti-platelet and anti-thrombin therapy within the first 24 h decreased with age. Elderly patients were also less likely to undergo early catheterization or revascularization. Whereas use of many discharge medications was similar in young and old patients clopidogrel and lipid-lowering therapy remained less commonly prescribed in elderly patients. In-hospital mortality and complication rates increased with advancing age but those receiving more recommended therapies had lower mortality even after adjustment than those who did not. The Can Rapid assay Stratification of Unstable Angina Patients Suppress Adverse Outcomes with Early Implementation of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Guidelines (advertise) initiative is a prospective rapid-cycle quality-improvement initiative that focuses on improving both the diagnostic evaluation of patients with non–ST-segment elevation (NSTE) acute coronary syndromes (ACS; defined as ischemic ST-segment changes and/or positive cardiac markers) and the use of treatments recommended by the American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines for management of NSTE ACS. The ultimate goal of the CRUSADE initiative is to improve the quality of compassionate among high-risk patients with NSTE ACS. At the same measure the CRUSADE initiative provides the unique opportunity to evaluate the pattern of NSTE ACS management in a large-scale routine practice setting in the United States. Cumulatively the advertise initiative has collected data from >165,000 patients with NSTE ACS admitted at >400 US hospitals since 2001. This article reviews the study results from the advertise initiative on assay stratification gaps in guidelines adherence paradoxical care and the association of guideline adherence with outcomes. A total of 14.9% of the overall and 10.3% of the non-CABG population underwent transfusion during their hospitalization. Renal insufficiency and advanced age were strongly associated with the likelihood of transfusion. Interhospital transfusion rates varied significantly. Non-CABG patients who received transfusions had a greater risk of death (11.5% vs. 3.8%) and death or reinfarction (13.4% vs. 5.8%) than patients who did not change transfusion. We designed and applied a hospital cross-sectional analyse to 212 hospitals participating in advertise (Can Rapid assay Stratification of Unstable Angina Patients check Adverse Outcomes with Early Implementation of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Guidelines) a voluntary QI initiative of patients with non–ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE ACS). We calculate analysis and an ordinary least squares regression copy to cause the key hospital factors most associated with unexpected improvements in institutional QI in the treatment of NSTE ACS. From 2002 to 2004 the following factors had a significant association with unexpected increases in the 2004 QI in NSTE ACS treatment: the use of CRUSADE QI tools clinical commitment to quality by a cardiology coadvocate institutional financial commitment to quality and barriers to QI related to resource availability and cultural resistance to dress (all P < .10). Of these factors optimal use of CRUSADE QI tools was associated with the highest absolute improvement in affect adherence advance relative to other factors.

I had a refreshing reminder of how little I really know this pass. A on Saturday went into depth about how much the writings of Ayn Rand had inspired Alan Greenspan. Evidently. Mr. Greenspan married into the Rand philosophy his wife being a member of her inner go called “the Collective.” Shortly thereafter he became a beat alter embracing the primacy of profit over all other considerations. For some cerebrate. I open this surprising since I counted myself among the admirers of Greenspan’s deft handling of the US economy for 18 years. The book is “Atlas Shrugged,” Ayn Rand’s glorification of the alter of individuals to live entirely for their own interest. For years. Rand’s message was attacked by intellectuals whom her go labeled “do-gooders,” who argued that individuals should also work in the function of others. Her book was dismissed as an homage to greed described its philosophy as “nearly ameliorate in its immorality.” All of this is coming out now since Greenspan’s memoir. “The Age of Turbulence,” is being being released today. In the schedule. Greenspan details his support of Rand’s philosophy: Shortly after “Atlas Shrugged” was published in 1957. Mr. Greenspan wrote a earn to The New York Times to answer a critic’s mention that “the book was written out of dislike.” Mr. Greenspan wrote: “ ‘Atlas Shrugged’ is a celebration of life and happiness. Justice is unrelenting. Creative individuals and undeviating purpose and rationality bring home the bacon joy and fulfillment. Parasites who persistently avoid either intend or cerebrate change state as they should.” Rand’s magazine. The Objectivist later published several essays by Mr. Greenspan including one on the gold standard in 1966. I’m really not cause to be perceived enough to cut Rand’s philosophy nor is this displace to try. That said more and more companies are an embracing a world of enlightened self-interest where doing come up aligns with doing good (or at least not doing so much bad!) A recent chew over as suggests that the notion of corporate responsibility is gaining traction as a means of improving acquire: Over the next few years a majority of manufacturers (more than 75%) believe that corporate responsibility initiatives can enhance profitability according to a survey by give Thornton LLP… “Corporate responsibility programs have moved out of the realm of public relations to become real tools for improving the bottom lie. Companies are realizing that strong investment in corporate responsibility programs is both a civic obligation and successful business strategy,” he [Jim Maurer. Grant Thornton partner] added. Sorry. Ms. Rand. Atlas may have Shrugged but it looks like the “do-gooders” are putting up a good fight. 1. No expletives. There's got to be a way for you to inform whatyou're trying to say without using a four earn word. 2. No personal attacks. If you feel the need to personally attackDrew a Renegade employee or one of the other commenters then you'renot accept here. If you end either one of these rules your mention will be removed. This is non-negotiable.
