An experienced public relations consultant who once worked briefly in the Reagan White House, he has generated a controversial profile as a crisis management counselor by adopting an aggressive posture toward the media. Among his high-profile assignments - he has reportedly represented former Enron ceo Jeff Skilling and Dow Chemical, which led to a nasty skirmish with Greenpeace USA over messy allegations of dumpster diving and stolen documents (see here and here). A New Jersey native, Dezenhall detailed his philosophy in a book entitled ‘Nail ‘Em!: Confronting High-Profile Attacks on Celebrities and Businesses.’ Bill Moyers, a noted journalist who sparred with the Dezenhall firm over a 2001 documentary about the chemicals industry, told BusinessWeek:...

That said, the ScamWow! might be just what BP is looking for: via The Huffington Post Post from: BlissTree The ScamWow!: Videos That Crack Us Up (Source: Breastfeeding 1-2-3) Breastfeeding 1-2-3 blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3750026 Tue, 13 Jul 2010 20:25:11 +0100 3750026 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3671647&cid=t_116322_87_f&fid=36050&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblisstree.com%2Flive%2Ffifa-world-cup-nonprofit-we-love-solafrica%2F image via Inhabitat Although Nairobi is as soccer-crazed as the rest of the world right now, residents of Kibera, the largest slum in Africa, didn’t think they’d be able to watch the 2010 FIFA World Cup, because they don’t have electricity. That is, until Solafrica, a Swiss nonprofit, provided them with a portable solar power station to run a large TV. And Solafrica didn’t stop there. In partnership with Greenpeace, they trained local young people to make simple solar-powered LED lamps to replace the kerosene ones being used in Kibera. Solafrica might be our first official nonprofit crush of the World Cup. If they figure out a way to recycle all the vuvuzelas being used in South Africa, we’d let them wear our pin. via Inhabitat Post from: BlissTree FIFA World ...

Your computer, your phone – even your garage door opener. Did you ever think about how green those electronics are? Greenpeace just released their quarterly Guide to Greener Electronics, which ranks companies by the environmental impact of their products. Want to know who you should buy your next phone from? Check it out: 1. Nokia. The Japanese manufacturer held its spot as number one from last quarter’s guide. The company does not use brominated compounds, chlorinated flame retardants, and antimony trioxide – all harmful to to the environment and humans – in any of its new products. 2. Sony Ericcson. Sony comes in second for wins points for skipping use of PVC or brominated flame retar...
