Major Parties Claiming Underdog Status "Barking Mad" Says Independent Candidate for Cheltenham

Both the major parties trying to position themselves as the underdog in the State Election is a political ploy designed to scare voters and attract sympathy, according to Henrietta Child, the Independent Candidate for Cheltenham. "These underdog declarations are barking mad," Ms Child said. “Only those of us outside the major parties know what 'underdog status' really means. “I hope no-one will let this insanity distract them from the real underdogs in this election." Ms Child says that it's the ordinary people like the people in safe seats like Cheltenham, who have been ignored time and time again by the political process. "They know what it’s really like to be at the bottom of the pack,” she said. “However,” she added, “the good news for us low slung canines is that it is going to be a tight election. “It is looking increasingly likely that Independents could end up holding the balance of power. "This would be an opportunity for me to deliver a tremendous result for the Cheltenham electors. At last they could be in a position to undo some of the terrible wrongs they have suffered in recent years. I don't know if it's too late to save the racecourse, but I am sure this outcome would be our best chance. "Not to mention retaining the beautiful St Clair Recreation Park for the people of Woodville.” In the meantime, it seems likely the big guys will just keep barking. independentforcheltenham@yahoo.com.au

Enterprise Compliance Manager 8.2 Automation Includes Microsoft and Adobe BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire) - ManageSoft -- the leading provider of desktop to datacenter software asset management (SAM) solutions -- announced today the release of its Enterprise Compliance Manager® (ECM) version 8.2 software. The unprecedented level of automation in ECM 8.2 streamlines the license management process for popular vendors, such as Microsoft and Adobe, which enables enterprises to rapidly reduce software license and maintenance spend. While other SAM products on the market claim to provide license management, in practice they barely scratch the surface. In contrast, ECM combines application usage analysis, purchase order data, and software entitlements (including product use rights) to determine an accurate license position and optimize software license consumption. ECM's new level of automation significantly reduces the amount of manual effort required to create and maintain license and contract records. For example, a purchase order stock keeping unit (SKU) number alone can automatically infer the type of license agreement (EA, Select, TLP, CLP, etc.) and the product use rights that are applied to optimize software license consumption -- an industry first. New user interface wizards have also been added to ECM to facilitate the management of Microsoft Select and Enterprise Agreement contracts. The user is guided, step-by-step, through the setup of a new contract or the renewal of an existing one. The wizards include the definition of licenses, payment schedules, true-ups, and the relationships with master contracts. All of these features make it significantly easier to optimize the SAM process and realize cost savings. "Many enterprises have struggled to implement effective SAM programs because of the daunting complexity and dynamic nature of license rules," noted Alan Swahn, ManageSoft's vice president of marketing and business development. "With Enterprise Compliance Manager, organizations are now equipped to tackle the problem and achieve a rapid ROI. Our goal is to not only save our customers 15-25% of their software spend, but to keep their estate optimized and in compliance on an ongoing basis." John.Emmitt@ManageSoft.com

The national science hub explores the secrets behind dating this Adelaide Fringe Festival Considering there are around 6.6 billion people in the world what exactly are the odds of finding your perfect match? Millions of romantics would tell you true love can happen to anyone, anytime and this month the national science hub is explaining the scientific factors of dating from the biology and evolution of attraction to the durability and physics of condoms. As part of the Adelaide Fringe Festival, scientist with a twist, Chris Krishna-Pillay (Chris KP), is performing his adults-only sex education cabaret, Pre-Coital: The Science of Dating, at the Royal Institution of Australia (RiAus). “There are so many scientific things to consider about dating. First of all, with so many people spread out across the world, the old phrase ‘getting lucky’ is pretty spot on, but it might be easier than you think,” Chris says. “Take physical beauty for example. It really is a numbers game –it’s all about symmetry, ratios and proportions. Biologically, you will often be drawn to someone with characteristics that are complementary to yours. The different characteristics help to diversify the gene pool which makes the species more resilient. “But even so, hormones are jumping around all over the place meaning you can find someone attractive one day, and not the other. “When women are ovulating they are drawn towards masculine men to provide the ‘seed’, but for the rest of their cycle women are generally more attracted to men with slightly more feminised facial features – perhaps those who are more likely to look after the children.” “So if a friend tells me he asked a woman out on a date and got turned down, I tell him to go back in 10 days and try again. If he gets rejected again, then maybe it just wasn’t meant to be,” You might be surprised to know that this singer about pheromones and inflater of condoms is the Victorian Manager of CSIRO Education and Secretary of the National Science Week Victorian Coordinating Committee. “I landed on fertile thespian ground while studying at Monash University. I got involved with impro, stand-up, street theatre, musicals, contemporary, sketch/revue, radio, and managed to knock off a couple of science degrees at the same time.” Chris KP says he is happy to provide anecdotal advice, but doesn’t want to be held accountable for failed romances. “My best dating tip would be three-fold: listen to the other person, have as much fun as you both can and don’t forget ‘the spark’ that can happen anywhere, any time,” Chris said.. Pre Coital: The Science of Dating is a FRINGE event showing at the Royal Institution of Australia (RiAus) 11th – 13th March 2010. For bookings visit: www.riaus.org.au julia.loughlin@ppr.com.au

Latest Quarterly Wholesale Investor National Survey reveals a lack of confidence in the traditional retail sector with only 3.2% of investors believing the sector will experience significant growth in 2010. Statistics from the March edition of the survey, released today, show High Net Worth, sophisticated investors believe the sectors that will experience the most growth in 2010 are Greentech (44.2%), Mining (41.1%), Property (32.6%), Internet/IT (29.5%), Financial Services (26.3%) and Healthcare (21.1%). The inclusion of Internet/IT in the top 5 reflects a greater shift from traditional business to online markets, particularly for the retail sector. The survey also reveals that these investors are more optimistic, have more money and have invested into a wide range of sectors over the last three months. The survey was conducted by Wholesale Investor magazine on the registered database of 5,450 high net worth, wholesale, professional and international investors. Full details of the survey can be obtained by going to http://www.wholesaleinvestor.com.au KEY POINTS OF THE SURVEY: • The sectors which have received the most funding from investors over the past 12 months are: Financial Services; Property; Internet/IT; Greentech and Mining. • Sectors that investors are seeking to invest into right now: Greentech, Mining, Property, Internet Financial Services and Healthcare • Investors are currently seeking exposure to Private companies (68.4%) and Pre-IPO opportunities (55.8%) • Private investors are selective - 64.2% of investors review between 10 and 30 opportunities before they invest in one – but not to the extent of Venture Capitals who review over 30 deals before investing into 1 (AVCAL,2009) • Investors are highly active right now – 60% are currently invested into 3 or more investments • Investor confidence in the market is currently very high - 94.8% of investors believe now is a good time to invest; 23.2% believe now is the best market they have ever seen and are seeking investments right now. • Funds continue to be deployed into investments - less than 21.2% have 50% or more of their funds in cash compared with 79% in May 09. • Entrepreneurs need to improve their skills and knowledge in the areas of valuations, financial projections, management expertise and exit. • Investors are still mostly focussed on making direct investments into ordinary equity. • 48.4% of investors have a portfolio valued at between $500k and $10million • 66.3% of investors have a net worth of over $1million; 25.3% are worth more than $5 Million This survey gives an in-depth insight into specifically what investors are seeking when making investment decisions and deploying capital. This greatly assists companies and entrepreneurs to shape their investment offers, greatly increasing their chance to raise capital. Key points for Entrepreneurs seeking capital: • Entrepreneurs need to improve their skills and knowledge in the areas of valuations, financial projections, management expertise and exit. • Pitching is a numbers game. If investors only invest after looking at between 10 and 30 deals, Entrepreneurs need to get their deal in front of as many investors as possible. m.smith@wholesaleinvestor.com.au

NSW Seniors Week is just around the corner (March 21-28) and this year’s theme is “Live Life”, something Central Coast business CLCS can help aged, frail and people with disabilities do with its range of EzyTouch phones. CLCS (Chameleon Lifestyle Connections) stocks EzyTouch phones, which are designed for sight and hearing impaired people. These specialised phones have large numbers, amplified sound and light up when ringing, and the mobile version includes an emergency call switch. Based at Kincumber, and offering a mobile service throughout the Central Coast and the north shore suburbs of Sydney, CLCS offers aged, frail and people with disabilities the ability to hear and see their phone ring – essentially offering the opportunity to Live Life through greater communication! “Our EzyTouch phones make it so much easier for aged, frail and people with disabilities to communicate with family, friends and colleagues,” CLCS founder Carole Davidson explained. “This enhances their ability to be part of activities, instead of feeling shut off from the world. “EzyTouch phones are also ideal for people who have trouble using small buttons on modern phones due to health issues that affect their motor skills. And the mobile model can be used with a pre-paid SIM card so there is no need to sign up to a mobile plan,” Ms Davidson said. The EzyTouch product line includes the following: • Mobile phone with a large display, high visibility buttons, extra-loud ringer and volume boost, hearing aid compatibility and vibration and visual alert • Cordless phone which is amplified, hearing aid compatible, hands-free, loud ringer, visual alert, caller ID and call waiting. • Corded phone with large buttons, amplified earpiece, extra-loud ringer, visual indicator, number storage and wall mount. There is also an EzyShaker, which vibrates when the phone rings so can be put under a pillow or next to the bed at night. CLCS is a service tailored to older people, young people with disabilities and carers to help assess care needs, coordinate that care, make referrals to appropriate services and monitor and evaluate the results to ensure caring needs are being met. CLCS founder Carole Davidson visits people in their homes and tailors the service based on their individual needs and timeframes. “I meet with people in their homes and assess their care needs before putting together a plan on how they can stay safely in their own home,” Ms Davidson said. For more information about the EzyTouch Phones or CLCS visit www.chameleonlifestyle.com.au or contact Carole Davidson on 1300 089 935 or clcs@dodo.com.au johanna@strawberrycommunications.com.au

A Foster Carer Forum will be hosted by The Hon Ann Bressington (MLC) & Nina Weston from Children In Crisis Inc. this Thursday 11th March, 2010, in the Balcony Room of Parliament House. The meeting aims to address the problems faced by Foster Carers and develop negotiation points to better work with Families SA. “We no longer have mere system failure, but total absence of a system,” Ms Bressington said. “We are no longer dealing with a few minor oversights on a handful of cases, but a distinct absence of anyone at the helm of this ‘Department of Social Workers’ who run rough-shot over people’s lives. There is no complaint mechanism for parents or carers to be heard, there is no regulation of professional practice or compliance with the Department’s Manual of Practice and there is no-one in charge to stop children being wrongfully removed at a moments notice.” As in the case of the Member for Flinders, Liz Penfold M.P. constituents, who lost their Foster child on what appears to be nothing more than a whim, Ann Bressington has received many similar complaints from Foster Carers. “In one such near identical case, the Foster Carers had fostered two sisters with intellectual and behavioural disabilities for over five years (now aged 10 and 15). Both girls were taken away suddenly from them on nothing but rumour and innuendo after the family sought assistance from the Department for the challenging behaviours of one of the children with respect to her personal hygiene”, Ms Bressington said. “Despite one of the teenagers refusing to leave the Foster Carer and returning when taken, extreme pressure has been applied by the Department for her to reside with yet another Foster family – her fourth since she was taken from the original Foster Carer in April 2009. Her 10 yr old sister was placed in a family unknown to anyone, some 300kms away, and all efforts have been made to keep her and her sister separated not only from the love and support of the Foster family, but even each other. The sisters have had 2 hours contact with each other in nearly a year since their removal and separation. “This Foster family, after more than 5 years of caring for both disabled children, had saved this State many hundreds of thousands of dollars, but their maltreatment at the hands of the Department has cost the family and the State so much more. With their reputations under a cloud, there is one less family who could now take in some of the State’s most difficult to place children and anyone who hears of this family’s story would never contemplate becoming a Foster Carer only to face the same treatment.” Ms Bressington observed, “Since the damning 2009 Select Committee Report into Families SA, it appears that the Department’s Social Workers are working even harder to be intrusive, disruptive and flex their muscles and it makes no sense at all”. “The Minister owes many families a reasonable explanation for Families SA’s failings that she has so far refused to acknowledge or address. It is time for Minister Rankine to step up to the plate and offer more than ‘motherhood statements’ in relation to the conduct of some of the child protection workers employed by Families SA,” Ann Bressington said.

2010-03-10T09:11:06+10:30

There have been recent reports of how a Twitter scam has affected some well known UK politicians, issuing embarrassing Tweets from their personal accounts. Whilst these headlines may seem amusing, Lloyd Borrett, the Marketing Manager at AVG (AU/NZ), says it is worth considering the potential impact of this type of scam on your business reputation. Reputation is everything in the world of a small business, often taking years to establish. Being targeted by a similar scam can have a detrimental effect on the reputation of your company. In a recent NCSA (National Cyber Security Alliance) study on small business security, 69% of small business owners said they would let their customers know if they suffered a security breach, whilst almost half agreed that their customers are concerned about the IT security of their business. Knowing that a supplier’s IT infrastructure is not as secure as it should be would worry most people, particularly if they share critical business data with that supplier/company. Yet with so many more businesses using cost-effective social media tools to market their company, the threat of customers being sent inappropriate messages from your company’s social media account, or the social media account of one of your employees, is real. The potential impact on your reputation, by undermining your customer’s trust in your ability to safeguard their data, is great. So to help safeguard your business reputation, AVG (AU/NZ) has put together a few tips to ensure you get the most out of your security software, allowing you to focus on building your reputation, not repairing it: 1. Make sure your security software is robust and up to the job. AVG Internet Security Business Edition software is certified by the major independent security certification bodies to be effective against a comprehensive range of threats. 2. Secure your network against insecure behaviour by employees. You can’t always control where your staff go online at work. (If you try, you’ll probably have a rebellion on your hands!) AVG Internet Security Business Edition includes LinkScanner® which stops users visiting poisoned web pages that can let hackers into your network. So make sure it’s installed on every PC. 3. Set your security software to update itself at least once a day. Protect against new and unknown viruses that appear between updates by ensuring AVG Data Protection is active on all workstations. AVG Internet Security Business Edition contains the Data Protection module. 4. Make sure you set the highest level of security on laptops employees take home or on the road. The AVG Administration feature included with AVG’s business edition products will help you to set and monitor the security settings on all of your protected PCs. However, once those PCs are disconnected from the business network, they’re out of your control. So leverage the power of AVG’s LinkScanner, Anti-Malware, Enhanced Firewall and Data Protection layers to keep their protection solid when your staff are away from the office using home, WiFi or other non-secure Internet connections. 5. Deal with computer security problems as soon as they arise. AVG optionally alerts you whenever it finds a problem – day or night – and takes the necessary action to protect your network automatically – you don’t have to do a thing. If you have the time, review the log – it can give you valuable information about employee training or other preventive measures that will help improve security. Following the above tips should ensure your business reputation doesn’t suffer from an online scam. As the saying goes, “An ounce of prevention is much better than a pound of cure.” For more information, see <a href="http://www.avgatwork.com.au/">www.avgatwork.com.au</a>.

2010-03-09T18:23:29+10:30

Sydney City QVB heritage building's newest shop will be an intriguing combination of legacy Sydney architecture and sleek European styling. Bristol & Brooks will begin trading their prestigious designer gifts range from within the new fusion fit-out from mid-March 2010. A reputation for stylish elegance is something the Queen Victoria Building and Bristol & Brooks share in common. The major reshape of their new store in Sydney's heritage-listed QVB fuses its beauty with their own trademark style. The design concept is truly simple with highly refined lines and only a few feature elements to draw customers into the space, focusing attention on the range of designer and corporate gifts. "As the building is a heritage building we had to be sensitive to retaining as much of the detailing as possible, such as the framed arched timber, and rose windows to the rear" notes store owner, Jason Bogatai. In addition a number of constraints were considered, such as the air conditioning and building services bulkhead which has been cleverly incorporated within the design. The store centrepiece - a large suspended ply pendant situated over the cash desk - makes the most of the traditional high ceilings typical of the QVBs architectural period. The central floor display table is green polyurethane featuring the most valuable and unique products, distinguished from the white wall display units. The overall scheme is light in colouration, white being the predominant colour. The introduction of white washed oak floor boards and soft neutrals tones such as olive, yellow and the use of ply help to create warmth and an overall ambience of a Nordic interior. Discussions between the various parties concerned in the design of the new store began in earnest in October 2009. After extensive research and preliminary drawings, designer Penelope Ward from Foster & Associates has designed the quintessential retail outlet to highlight the extensive and eclectic range of gift ideas that Bristol & Brooks have to offer. The brand new store opens in QVB mid-March 2010. Design images at: http://www.bristolandbrooks.com.au/Newsletters/QVB-Fit-out-Fuses-Heritage-With-Designer-Styles-48.htm info@bristolandbrooks.com.au

13CABS announced today its cutting-edge iPhone booking App is available as a free download from the App Store. The App is set to revolutionise the cab industry nationwide as competitors and interstate counterparts scramble to emulate 13CABS' feature-rich benchmark. 13CABS says its App has massive appeal for Melbourne's discerning iPhone users who want an improved service when booking cabs, especially useful during peak periods such as Friday and Saturday nights. 13CABS' commitment to customer service is evident in the user-friendly and intuitive interface. Boasting superior functionality to any existing cab booking App in Australia, users can book cabs direct to their location with ease via the iPhone's built-in GPS. The 13CABS App also gives users the power to make multiple bookings for deferred dates and times, use a list of previous locations for rapid bookings, and even maintain a library of favourites to expedite future bookings. A slick Where's My Cab? feature conveniently allows users to check the status of their cab on active bookings by geographically depicting the last known location of the assigned cab. Fare Estimator as its name suggests, provides a good indication of how much users can expect to pay for their trip, virtually eliminating fare disputes in bookings using the 13CABS App. Find A Rank is a failsafe during peak times when bookings are heavy and available cabs can be scarce. It displays a map representing the user's location in relation to cab ranks in their proximity. For ease of use for the vision impaired, the App is voice over enabled. By being able to 'Sync' with their my13CABS account, a free web service through 13CABS.com.au, users can import their entire web booking history and favourites directly into their iPhone if they choose. In 13CABS' breakthrough App, iPhone users have unrivalled capacity to manage their cab bookings with ease. The 13CABS App also means rapid bookings and savings on mobile phone calls to users - representing a landmark moment for the cab industry.
