***REGISTER NOW AT www.thenewhumanism.org ! Student travel scholarships available.*** Three decades ago Tom Ferrick founded the Humanist Chaplaincy at Harvard University. Tom then led the Chaplaincy to become a permanent position at Harvard, and on April 20 and 21, 2007 we will celebrate 30 years of his service to Harvard and Humanism. To honor Tom and his historic vision, Harvard will host a major Humanist Conference, featuring a symposium on the theme “Dialogue Among Religions, Cultures, and Civilizations?,” and much more, where the Humanist Chaplaincy will lay out a bold new vision for the future of Humanism at Harvard and universities across the US. In attendance will be eight or more decades of Harvard Humanists, from Ambassador Carl Coon A.B. ’49, to members of the class of 2010. Speakers, performers and presenters include the leaders of all the leading Humanist organizations in the US, and many of the greatest minds of our time: Salman Rushdie, renowned novelist and writer, to be given the first annual Outstanding Lifetime Achievement Award in Cultural Humanism.

Damage Control: Responding to Public Relations Crises
Where: Flat Top Johnny's
Date: 2007-11-28 18:00:00
Type:
Hosted by the Boston chapter of the American Marketing Association Whether you get your information from the nightly news or your favorite blog, it's impossible to avoid hearing about the latest crisis in corporate America. Mattel and other toy makers recalling Chinese-made toys tainted with lead paint. Whole Foods' CEO blogging under the disguise of an analyst, allegedly to drive down the stock price of its acquisition target, Wild Harvest. How you prepare for crises and how you respond can protect your company’s reputation – or damage it irreparably. At this month’s event, we’ll look at some classic cases of damage control and discuss thought-provoking questions like: • When a company discovers a major problem internally, who should decide how and when to respond: the communications team or the legal department? • Who is the real primary audience when addressing a disaster: the media, investors or the public? • Who should respond to the crisis: the CEO or a designated spokesperson? • Does your company prepare you and other employees how to respond to a crisis, even if it isn’t your job to address the media? We need your opinion on November 28th at the next Boston Marketing Club event. The Boston Marketing Club is a fresh approach to networking. Meet some new people, discuss hot topics and participate in real-time opinion polling led by the CONNECTORS. Check out a previous event. Free billiards and appetizers/cash bar. Price: $10 for members; $30 for non-members Attention New Members: Your 1st time is FREE! Come and get to know us. Call 781-647-7555 to register.

Type:
Colossal Yes is Utrillo of Comets on Fire. A new year, 2006, marks the return of Vancouver's Dan Bejar with his seventh full-length release under the moniker Destroyer. If there has been any precedent set or pattern developed over the previous six recordings in the Destroyer canon, it's that Bejar holds little regard for convention or expectations. Never one to rest on laurels, each successive Destroyer release always explores new sonic territories and ideas.
