New York State Lobby for Life Day 2010

Dateline: Albany, New York (ALBANY, N.Y.)  | Wed, 28 Apr 2010

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “ALBANY, N.Y. -- The New York State Right to Life Committee held its annual Lobby for Life Day yesterday, April 27th, in the well of the Legislative Office Building in Albany. About 200 people attended the event, which focused on the Unborn Victims of Violence Act, a bill currently pending in the state legislature that provides that those who kill or injure an unborn child during a crime of violence against a pregnant woman may be held criminally responsible.”



A R T I C L E:

The New York State Right to Life Committee held its annual Lobby for Life Day yesterday, April 27th, in the well of the Legislative Office Building in Albany. About 200 people attended the event, which focused on the Unborn Victims of Violence Act, a bill currently pending in the state legislature that provides that those who kill or injure an unborn child during a crime of violence against a pregnant woman may be held criminally responsible.

Democratic legislators Assemblyman Michael Benjamin and Senator Darrel Aubertine, the sponsors of the bill, spoke about the importance of ensuring that unborn babies are recognized as victims under New York State law when the mothers have made a choice for life.

The keynote speaker was Cashawnda Rowlett from Troy, NY. Cashawnda shared the horrifying story of the attack on her life and the life of her unborn baby in 2003. When Cashawnda told her boyfriend that she was pregnant and refused to abort their baby, he attempted to kill the baby by sneaking up behind her and stabbing her repeatedly. Her attacker left her for dead, and a neighbor called 911.

Miraculously, Cashawnda and her baby daughter, Canya, lived. Under New York State law, the assailant could not be charged with the attempted murder of Canya.

There is a federal Unborn Victims of Violence law, but it applies only to federal crimes. Most crimes of violence in New York are state criminal acts. Currently, 35 other states have homicide laws that recognize the unlawful killing of unborn children in at least some circumstances.

A recent incident involving a New York pharmacist, who traveled to Pennsylvania to secretly slip his pregnant girlfriend abortion inducing pills, illustrates the gross inconsistency in state laws. The baby died as a result of the drugs and Pennsylvania recognized the attack on the unborn child as an act of criminal homicide. Because they have an Unborn Victims of Violence Act, the man has been charged with criminal homicide of an unborn child, first-degree murder of an unborn child, aggravated assault of an unborn child, and aggravated assault. Had she traveled to New York, instead of him traveling to Pennsylvania, he could not have been charged with the murder of that same child and he would not be facing 20 years in prison as he is in Pennsylvania.

Cashawnda has vowed to continue her quest to see that the Unborn Victims of Violence Act is passed in NY State, telling the group, "The reason he attacked me was to get to my baby. He didn't want to be a father. Then I found out that his violent attack on my baby, which was the only reason he attacked me, would not be recognized by the law...unborn babies deserve justice too."

Deb Cody, Legislative Director for NYS Right to Life and Cashawnda Rowlett are available for interviews.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Lion Technology Inc., a nationally renowned regulatory compliance training firm, will present their two-day Hazardous Waste in California workshop series during the month of May. These courses are designed for industry professionals that must assure compliance with California's hazardous waste regulations. Workshops will be held in San Diego on May 3-4; Ontario on May 6-7; San Jose on May 10-11; and Sacramento on May 13-14, 2010.

The workshop features comprehensive coverage of the California Hazardous Waste Regulations (Title 22), including waste identification, management standards for universal wastes, on-site management requirements, manifesting, emergency planning and response, recordkeeping, and the latest legislative initiatives.

Lion Technology Director of Corporate Training, Scott Dunsmore, a national expert on hazardous waste management, stresses that proper hazardous waste handling, management, and disposal is critical, especially in light of rising enforcement, which is now $37,500 per day/per violation.

"Regulators have often stated that inadequate or no training has been at the root of non-compliance. With a slow economy and budget tightening, the reflex is to go towards shorter and inexpensive training options. However, with enforcement initiatives on the increase, short changing your training puts you at risk of costing you more in the long run. Adequate training is essential to EHS excellence," says Dunsmore.

Tuition is $795 per person, with group discounts available. Registration includes course reference materials, networking luncheon, certificate of achievement, and one year of follow-up support. Registration starts at 7:30 a.m. and the workshop runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Pre-registration is highly recommended.

Georgia Chamber President to Speak to Georgia Brokers on Keys to Economic Growth

Author: Georgia Association of Business Brokers
Dateline: Atlanta, Georgia Wed, 17 Mar 2010

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “ATLANTA, Ga. -- The President and CEO of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, George M. Israel III, will speak on March 30 to the state's largest association of business brokers, GABB, on ways Georgia can recover economically by remaining a place where businesses can thrive. The Georgia Association of Business Brokers (GABB) is the state's only professional organization and Multiple Listing Service dedicated to buying and selling businesses and franchises.”



A R T I C L E:

ATLANTA, Ga. /Neotrope News Network/ -- The President and CEO of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, George M. Israel III, will speak on March 30 to the state's largest association of business brokers, GABB, on ways Georgia can recover economically by remaining a place where businesses can thrive.

Mr. Israel, the former mayor of Macon, has more than 25 years experience as a Chief Executive Officer with organizations in government, real estate sales management and development, property management and managed health care.

"Georgia's ability to compete economically with other states, provide the necessary resources and infrastructure, and offer a qualified workforce will allow business to succeed," said Mr. Israel.

Addressing the state's budget shortfall must "include the consideration of changes to the current tax system that would not only provide a competitive advantage in corporate recruitment but also encourage existing businesses to remain and grow in our state," Mr. Israel said.

The state must address infrastructure needs, and the most critical of these today is water, Israel said. The state's economic health has been threatened by the removal of Lake Lanier as a water supply source. Increased congestion has threatened communities, and Israel urged legislators to reach consensus on transportation funding proposals to efficiently move both people and freight

"Finally, no company can be successful without qualified workers," said Israel. "Measures to promote academic excellence, ensure sound leadership in our schools, create educational options, and provide advanced skills training are all necessary for our communities to attract the jobs of tomorrow and for our state to build the nation's best workforce."

Mr. Israel will speak at the GABB's meeting Tuesday, March 30, 2010 at the South Terraces Conference Center, 115 Perimeter Center Place, Atlanta, GA, 30346. The meeting is free and open to the public. Networking begins at 9:45 a.m. with a light breakfast before the 10:30 a.m. meeting

The Georgia Association of Business Brokers (GABB) is the state's only professional organization and Multiple Listing Service dedicated to buying and selling businesses and franchises (www.gabb.org). An experienced GABB business broker can help a buyer find businesses for sale, negotiate a fair price and obtain financing. A broker can help an owner evaluate and price a business, market and advertise to prospective buyers, negotiate and close a deal. The GABB Web site lists hundreds of businesses for sale throughout Georgia, as well as around the country.

George M. Israel III is President and CEO of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce. The Macon native has more than 25 years experience as a Chief Executive Officer with organizations in government, real estate sales management and development, property management and managed health care. Israel is a proven leader who gets results.

Israel attended Middle Georgia College in Cochran and the University of Georgia. He began his career as a field underwriter for the life, health and accident insurance industry. From 1979 until 1987, he served as Mayor of the City of Macon. In 1987, Israel became President & CEO of The Potomac Corporation, a European Venture Capital firm. During the early 1990s, he led Fickling & Walker Company in Macon before moving to Secure Health Plans of Georgia in 1994 as President & CEO.

Israel currently serves on the Board of Directors for a number of organizations, including the Georgia Allies, the Georgia Partnership for Excellence in Education and the Georgia Cities Foundation. He is a Board Advisor for the Georgia Department of Economic Development and a member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Israel served as Chairman of the 21st Century Partnership in Middle Georgia for BRAC (1993-95), Chair of the Greater Macon Chamber of Commerce (1993), Chair of the Macon Economic Development Commission (1988-92) and Co-Chair of the Macon-Bibb County Unification Commission. He was appointed by Gov. Zell Miller to Chair the State of Georgia Commission on Privatization (1994-98). He was also appointed by Gov. Miller to serve on the Georgia Military Affairs Coordinating Committee (GMACC) from 1993-96. In 2003, Gov. Sonny Perdue reappointed Israel to the GMACC. In 2006, Israel was named "Georgian of the Year" by Georgia Trend Magazine.

Israel and his wife Pam have two grown children and one grandchild.

A R T I C L E:

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Sept. 22 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- When workers handle hazardous waste or ship hazardous materials, training is not just a good idea, it's the law. According to the Department of Toxic Substances Control (*Note 1), workers who handle hazardous waste must be trained annually, and the federal DOT requires that workers involved in the shipment of hazardous materials be trained at least every three years.

Environmental Resource Center®, the leading provider of environmental and safety training, will present the mandatory training in Los Angeles on October 13 - 15 at the Hilton Garden Inn, Los Angeles Airport/El Segundo.

Hazardous Materials Certification Training for DOT 49 CFR Transportation Regulations will be taught on October 15 at the same location. Classes begin at 8 a.m. and end at 5 p.m. each day.
