Puget Sound Business Journal (Seattle): Tech & Innovation : Business Advice

Because that's what the idea was. I would replace my home officstelephone line, which I only use for outgoinyg calls, and instead start making all of my calls over the This way I could pocket the $50 a month I've been givin g to Verizon and use those savinge to buy more important things. Like … food. Excepg it really didn't turn out that way. Why? Becausw the Internet phone services I tried worked ... but just not all the Which is typical ofmost technology. For example, I played aroune with Skype (www.skype.com) for a few Not bad.
Signing up for the servicre was free and the headset that I purchasec from Staplesfor $20 only had to be replacedd once (I do not advise lending one's headsetf to a 12 year old. Enough said). installing the Skype application on mylaptopo didn't cause it to lock up or crash on me. So for that reason alone I felt that thingswere successful. Once up and Skype did as promised just about all ofthe time. I used the littlr computer generated keypad on my laptol tomake calls. If I called anothe r Skype user the callwas free. Unfortunately, I don't really have a lot of conversationzs with high school and college nor do I care to really speao to anyoneunder 25.
So there'a not a lot of phone numberx in mySkype directory. However, you can use Skypwe to call a regular land line and then get chargec a few centsper call. So that's what I mostlt did. The problem was the connection. It worked. Most of the But sometimes it just didn't. Sometimes I had to call back the person two or threes times to get agood connection. Or speak There were a few instancese where I saidnaughty words. Then there was this one time wher e I tried to participate in a conferences call and had to make the three other people wait whildeI re-called the call-in number a few times until there was no cracklingf sound on the phone. That was fun too.
So I stopped using Skype. Frustrated I turned to another Net callinhg service calledmagicJack (www.magicjack.com). No, this has nothing to do with changing the tires ofa car. And there was no pleasur involved. For $40 magicJack ships me a little unit that I plug into the USB port of my I then hook my office phonre intothe unit. After installing the program I'n able to make phone calls from my regularphonr (not the headset I bought from Staples … bye-bye $20). Like Skype, magicJack places its callse overthe Internet, along with the other 100 trillion bits of informatiob crossing the same See where I'm going here?
Their deal is that you can make unlimited callzs you want to anyone in the Unitecd States (I'm told they're working on overseas plans) for only $50 per I did the math and that's $550 less a year than I'nm spending on my office line, so therew you go ... magic! Unfortunatelhy ... not so magical. Why? Same thin g with Skype. It Most of the time. I sufferedr from the occasional disconnected calls or calls that had to be or calls thatjust didn'f sound like a very good call at all. More naughtyt words. More blood thinner required. In the end I brokre down and kept myoffice line. You win I just need things that work as they promised towork ...
all the I have enough headaches inmy life. I have kids and a mortgagw and dandruff. I can't sit around and worry that an importang conversation with a prospective customer is going to get cutofff orsound horrible. Verizon's line in my office works all the It's one less hassle to deal with. I still keep the magicJacki and Skype servicesbecause I've had occasiojn to use them when traveling. Most likelyy I'll forget to cancel my subscription sonow I'lk be paying an extra $50 a year for next to But I'm a penny pincher. Not a cheapskate. it's less expensive to use these Netcallingf services. But I'm sacrificing some quality. Some dependability.
I'k giving myself more headaches. To me, it's not wortuh it. These technologies are grear for kidsor socializing. But to rely on them for business purposes, at least so far, isn't a greaty idea for me.

Scarlett Spring, Executive vice president of business is a very targeted kind ofcommercial development. What makes it unique “SkySong is unique in several ways. it is a dynamic private-publicf partnership that seeks to accelerate successful commercializatiohn ofnew ventures. Another important aspectg is innovationand technology. Because of the relationship with ArizonsState University, SkySong offers businesses access to resourcex and talent in a collaborativee way that integrates academia and private which is especially beneficial to emerging technologies companies.
SkySong is attracting globalo corporations that will have a footprinr in developinggreater Phoenix’s high-tech SkySong seems to have succeeded in attracting a strong collection of global boutique tech How was the development and leasingy team able to pull that off in this kind of down economicf environment? “International emerging tech firms looking at greater Phoenix as an entry point into the U.S. markey are seeking an innovative, collaborative environment. The modeo at SkySong offers flexibility.
During this downturn, international companies are lookingg for ways to limit risk and increase access to The partnerships they are developing are complementeds by dynamic companies that are locatinwithin SkySong.” Have you observex any significant niche office developments in the countrt that could be models for future Valley projects “Properties that have a uniquew proposition, meaning it is more than an office are gaining attention among clients. An example that is interestinv is aPacific Northwest-based tech It combines the best of an incubator model with venturs capital expertise.” Will we see more targeter commercial developments, and what will be the drawing card??

Zicam maker pulls products, but affirms safety - Dallas Business Journal:

http://www.balliball.com/links.php
The FDA said it received more than 130 complaintw from consumers saying they have lost their sense of smell after usingthe products. Jennifer Warren, a former schookl teacher who livesin Huntsville, said she lost her sense of smell afted using Zicam to prevent the duration of a cold a few yearxs ago, but had never complained to the FDA or the companyh because she figured there was no way to prove Zicajm caused her anosmia. She said she doesn’t want to sue Scottsdale-basec Matrixx (Nasdaq:MTXX) even after learning others have had thesame “I don’t think Zicam was created to hurt she said.
“We sit here and we rip and we rave abourt all these drugs not being allowefd onthe market. The first time anything goes everybody wants togo sue, sue, sue. That driveds me nuts. I honestly believe the people were trying to do somethinfg to help people not get William Hemelt, acting presidentg and chief operating officer of said the FDA action was taken without reviewing research he woulcd have been more than willing to “We think the science does not support this allegationj at all,” he said. “Quite honestly, we woule not be selling the product if we thoughft itwas unsafe.
” Zicam products use a homeopathif remedy called Zincum Gluconicum 2x, which means they require FDA Dr. Sam Benjamin, a medical doctor with a homeopathic license, said he can’t figure out why the FDA has takenj so long to deal withthe issue. “I can think of no part of alternative medicine that summons up more worry to conventional physiciansthan homeopathy,” said Benjamin, who has a medical talk show on KTAR 92.3 FM on Saturdayes at 2 p.m. and 1,000 followersa on Twitter. “There are so many drugs around thatcause problems, why would one evenr want to expose people to any danger.” Brett Berty, a senioe recall strategist at Stericycle Inc.
in Lake Forest, is coming to Phoenix this week to meet with Matrixx officials to see if he can help the company withdamage control. he said, companies will voluntarily recal l a product before the FDAgets That’s not how it happened with The FDA stepped in and warned Matrixx that it had received more than 130 consumer complaints and that the compangy needed to stop marketing the producg until it can put a warning labeol on its packaging that it couls cause anosmia. Over the past 10 Berty has worked with manufacturersa to conductabout 1,300 recalls, includinfg Vioxx.
“Typically, hopefully, the manufacturer will work with me priore to approaching theregulatory agency,” he said. “Thr most important thing for Matrixx is you can turn a seemingly awful situation into an opportunitgif you’re judged by the publicv as being part of the solution. How swiftlty do they execute that will demonstrate their concernj forthe public’s safety.” When the FDA sent the warningh letter to Matrixx and advisefd consumers not to use certain Zicamk cold remedies, on June 16, Matrixx’as stock plummeted 70 percent to $5.78 a share. It bouncexd up a bit to $6.
1 3 a day later, but nowhere near its 52-week high of near its trading point before the FDA sent thewarniny letter. For the fiscal year ended March 31, Matrixs reported $13.8 million in net incomse on $112 million in net up from $10.4 million in net income on $101 milliom in net sales a year ago. Hemeltt said he will be meeting with FDA regulatorxs to discussthe issue. He also schedules a conference callwith
