Just some quick background info....

I'm a web developer, and we are a Windows shop, but myself (and a fellow co-worker) are now using MacBook Pros for work (of which we also have Windows running on them in Fusion).

We'd like to move away from as much Windows dependency as possible, so we started using Entourage for email (we normally use Outlook in Windows). So the mail works great, and I'm slowly starting to like Entourage, but we have an issue. In Outlook, we have the ability to flag email under a specific color category (which is something we do on a regular basis here) in a shared inbox. Anyone using Outlook can see the color category and know who should respond to it. This works great. The problem comes for us few running Entourage now, the email doesn't show up as being flagged to a specific color category there. Is there anyone to get the categories assigned to an email in Outlook to also display as those categories in Entourage?

I do see that I can assign email to a specific category in Entourage as well, but again, if I assign an email a category in Entourage, it doesn't show up as being under that color category in Outlook either.

Is there anyway the two applications can share this color category information?

Each day this month I will be profiling a notable political cartoonist. Since the choices are vast, I’ve decided to slim the numbers down a bit and eliminate living cartoonists. Perhaps I will do a current political cartoon stars in the future.

Here’s an archive of the artists mentioned already.

Today we look at a fellow who no less than Langston Hughes referred to as “America’s greatest Black cartoonist.”

Enjoy!

Oliver “Ollie” Harrington was born in Valhalla, New York in 1912. He took up cartooning at a young age as an outlook for the anger he dealt with due to the way he was treated as a Black kid in the early 20th Century.

He soon became so talented that the Amsterdam News, a New York paper that was right smack in the middle of the Harlem Renaissance, began publishing a regular cartoon by Harrington when he was still a teenager, in 1929.

Here, Harrington had a soapbox where he could opine on the issues of the day, mostly racial issues, and he did so with his artwork, which was brilliant.

Here is a caricature of Fats Waller from 1940…note the way he expertly captures the very ambience of the room.

Beautiful.

He also captured less beautiful aspects of America…

I wish I could find the caption for the preceding cartoon.

In 1935, Harrington introduced his most famous character, Bootsie, a middle-age Black man that would be Harrington’s way of voicing, common-sense-wise and almost always with a real sense of humor, the problems of Blacks in America during that time.

In 1958, a collection of the Bootsie cartoons was released. Hmmm…50th anniversary is this year! Someone do a new edition! Or how about a Bootsie exhibition!!

Harrington spent the first few years after World War II as a spokesperson for the NAACP, but got back into cartooning in 1947.

In 1951, fed up with American politics, Harrington left America to live in France. Already by that time, Harrington was one of the first Black cartoonists to gain international attention (he covered World War II in Europe for the Pittsburgh Courier).

He continued depicting (and critiquing) American society, even while in France.

Check out the following brilliant cartoon, made even more poignant by Barack Obama’s current campaign for the Presidency.

“The teacher says that everyone can git to be president. Then how come the whole class falls out laughin’ when I tell ‘em that’s my dream?”

He lived in France for ten years before moving to Germany on an assignment, and he was caught up in East Berlin when the wall went up in 1961. He was fine with it, as he had a real cult following - after all, he was as much against America as the Communists were! He spent the rest of his life in East Berlin, contributing to a number of newspapers.

And he continued critiquing the United States through his striking work.

Here is a piece from 1969 criticizing the usage of funds for the space program when poverty was still such a big problem…

And here’s a cute little bit from the mid-80s.

Harrington passed away in 1995.

His main advice: "This is not a time to panic, cut off all investment in the future, and burrow into a dark hole." The full statement from Patricof, below: /p p "The comments made by the partners of Sequoia Capital at their recently held 'CEO Summit' have been widely covered by leaks to numerous bloggers.nbsp; These bloggers have disseminated the details and spread the contagion of the sentiments to the public at large, unfortunately running the risk that the words become a self-fulfilling prophesy.nbsp; Without challenging the comments, which expressed a heightened degree of doom and gloom for the economic prospects of young start-up companies particularly, I do think it calls for a somewhat more restrained response on the outlook and required action before throwing the baby out with the bath water.nbsp; Certainly, we are going through a period of enormous economic and political uncertainty.nbsp; The loss of confidence, primarily in our financial system, as a result of the excess of the past five to ten years (if not longer - we may never know how long some of the flawed practices have been going on) is one of the leading contributors.nbsp; We are also at the moment looking for leadership on the political front and both because of very low public support for the President and because we are in the midst of a heated election for his successor, we have no real voice of authority to provide some guidance, reassurance, and inspirational confidence that the bus has a driver who knows where he is going. /p p Nevertheless, aside from an over inflated housing boom that had to collapse sooner or later and a complicated financial system that arose in part to fuel this engine, the basic economy was in reasonable shape with GNP growth and productivity gains supporting a solid, if not vibrant outlook.nbsp; (I know the automotive industry is also going through bad times but it no longer pervades the economy as once conveyed in the expression "As GM goes, so goes the nation.") bLots more in extended entry/b... br / /pp Advances in technology are allowing companies to make goods and provide services faster and cheaper.nbsp; The wireless revolution and the Internet have made the dissemination of information easier and more pervasive for the entire world and brought significant benefits to every phase of our economy.nbsp; That is not going to stop although it may temporarily slow down.nbsp; In these difficult times, there will be winners as well as losers (and the former may be fewer in number for a while). /p p The point is, the financial problems are being addressed, if not a bit belatedly, and some international mechanism will be found in short order for some coordinated policy that will restore order and confidence to the system. /p p Most young companies, with which we are specifically concerned, are financed with equity capital.nbsp; That has its positives and negatives; on the one hand, debt is a very small factor in the capital structure of most small companies so loan foreclosures and the interest rate burden are not of prime concern. On the other hand, equity capital, which is provided by private investors, requires confidence in future prospects for reaching profitability and creating a strong market value.nbsp; Certainly under current conditions it is hard to engender such confidence although history has demonstrated that it is in times like these that great opportunities are created.nbsp; I have always said, "The best time to invest is when the drums are beating, not when the trumpets are blaring!" /p p This is surely a time for companies to pay meticulous attention to detail, particularly their cost structure. It is a time to be realistic in their near term assumptions for revenue growth and take nothing for granted.nbsp; Raising additional capital to support operations is of course critical, as it is at any time, but this is particularly a time for young companies to be extra cautious in developing pragmatic assumptions of their needs and in focusing on the amount and not necessarily the cost of that capital. /p p This is not a time to panic, cut off all investment in the future, and burrow into a dark hole.nbsp; Take a page from the packaged goods industry that the time to gain market share is during tough times when your competitors are weaker in responding.nbsp; And while this may feel more directly related to portfolio companies, we as a venture industry should not retreat either.nbsp; It is our strong belief that we can and will continue to make sound investments in excellent opportunities.nbsp; It is as good a time as ever to start a company with sound fundamentals. /p p So my point is to heed the caution of the Sequoia comments but to use them only as a strong message to reexamine all cost elements and growth plans and use this opportunity to assure that you are a survivor.nbsp; Find a way to use this moment to gain your greater share of the market by providing a solution that is needed by others to improve their prospects in the difficult environment ahead.nbsp; Tighten your belt and live within your means.nbsp; Although the timing makes this message seem more prescient, it is a philosophy that works for successful companies at all times and at all stages; it is simply put, good business.nbsp; This is not a time for heroes!" /p piEconWomen, Oct. 29, 2008 | Edison Ballroom | New York City Our panels are jam-packed with top women’s media executives.

Viacom Chief Executive Officer Philippe Dauman issued a statement saying the media giant, which owns MTV Networks and Paramount, was "moderating our near-term targets" in light of the dismal economy. In its Q2 earnings report, Viacom pointed to both retail and automotives categories as the reason for lower than expected revenues at its cable TV properties. While they held back on strong prediction for Q3, it's clear they couldn't foresee how bad things have gotten.

Google améliore la gestion du protocole IMAP sur tous les comptes GMail et Google Apps. Il est maintenant possible de gérer les dossiers qui seront synchronisés entre votre compte  GMail et les applications clients.  Ainsi, si vous synchronisez votre compte GMail avec Outlook, Mail ou votre téléphone mobile, vous pouvez exclure certains dossiers et libellés de la synchronisation.

Par exemple, le dossier spam où se retrouve généralement plusieurs centaines de courriels indésirables peut être exclu de la synchronisation. Cette nouvelle fonction qui se nomme “Advenced IMAP Controls” s’active via l’onglet “Lab”. Une fois activé, vous pourrez sélectionner les dossiers que vous désirez synchroniser en vous rendant dans l’onglet “Settings” puis “Labels”. Pour activer cette fonction, vous devez passer à la version américaine de GMail. Par la suite vous pourrez revenir à la version française.
