Author of Flags of Our Fathers and Flyboys Signs With The
Lavin Agency
James Bradley a Great Speaker
for Corporate Audiences
The Lavin Agency is thrilled to
announce the signing of bestselling author James Bradley.
Bradley's books, Flags of Our Fathers (soon to be
a major motion picture from Stephen Spielberg and Clint
Eastwood) and Flyboys have been massive bestsellers,
and introduced thousands of people to the heroism of ordinary
Americans in a time of national crisis. An accomplished
and compelling speaker, Bradley addresses the the mindset
it takes to achieve success. He cites examples of challenges
that experts deemed "impossible" and dramatically
illustrates how ordinary people did the impossible by thinking
outside the box.

New Study by Laurie Garrett Explores Links Between HIV/Aids
Pandemic and National Security
Leading Science Writer Calls for
Government to Pay More Attention to This Pressing Issue
Renowned science
writer and Council on Foreign Relations Fellow Laurie Garrett
has authored a new report that explores the links between
the HIV/Aids pandemic and national security and urges western
governments to take more action to tackle the problem. Says
Garrett, ""The real devastating impact of the
epidemic hasn't happened yet," noting that between
38 and 42 million people worldwide are currently infected
with the virus. And, she says, some countries with high
infection rates "haven't even begun to imagine the
economic, social and military impacts, social stability
impacts of their epidemic".

 Billy
Beane Leads His Oakland A's Back Into Playoff Contention
Moneyball Still Paying Off for Baseball's
Most Innovative General Manager
After a poor start that had some sports
pundits questioning Billy Beane's non-traditional approach,
the Oakland A's are on a tear and once again playoff contenders.
Currently a game out of first in their division, and leading
the race for the American League wildcard spot, the A's
are demonstrating that Beane -- considered by many to be
one of America's most innovative business leaders -- knows
how to compete and win against larger, better-financed rivals.

 Peter
Sealey Calls Internet Protocol Television A Godsend for
Marketers
Leading Marketing Consultant and Speaker
Comments on This New Opportunity in Fortune Magazine Article
In a new article in Fortune magazine, Peter
Sealey comments on the latest trend in digital entertainment
media -- Internet Protocol Television (IPTV). While still
in its infancy, this new approach to content delivery will,
a few short years from now, allow us to access television
shows and other entertainment content on demand over the
internet, ending the need to broadcast a show into millions
of homes simultaneously. According to Sealey, this new technology
will be a boon to advertisers because with it will come
the ability to serve up targeted ads based on viewers preferences
and viewing habits. Instead of a million different consumers
watching the same commercial, you will have millions of
different viewers watching different commercials -- based
on who they are and what they're interested in. Says Sealey,
"IPTV is going to open up the opportunity for more
dialogue between the marketer and the consumer." For
marketers who want to target specific consumers, "IPTV
is going to be a godsend," he says.
