Keeping It Fresh: Help End Malaria
We live in a country where mosquitoes are a nuisance, but they don't cause deaths from the diseases they carry. Other countries aren't
so lucky.
Malaria kills 2,200 children EVERY, SINGLE DAY in Africa. But the crazy thing is that it can be prevented. One $10 net protects an entire family for one year. And Malaria No More, with the help of Mosquito Squad (client), is moving toward ending malaria-related deaths by 2015 by raising money not only to provide a net for every family in Africa, but also to educate them on the importance and use.
A big goal, that's for sure. But we're on board...and we need your help.
Our quest is to raise $30,000 in 30 days (through the month of November) to provide nets to 3,000 families.
You can do one of two things:
1. Text "SWAT" to 85944 and $10 will be added to your cell phone bill.
2. Visit the $30,000 In 30 Days website to donate there.
Together we can be part of the larger "ending malaria-related deaths by 2015" cause. Let's raise $30,000 in 30 days! You in??

Quick Tips: Can An Employee Be Fired for a Facebook Update?
The Wild, Wild West of social media is beginning to come to an end, as the National Labor Relations Board ruled two weeks ago that an employee cannot be fired for negative comments posted on his or her personal Facebook wall.
Until now, if a company has a written policy deeming what is and what is not appropriate on the social platforms, action (including dismissal) could be taken.
But the NLRB ruling now makes firing because of a Facebook status update an employer offense, which will become increasingly important to HR professionals and labor and employment attorneys.
While privacy settings, concerted action, and time and place of the negative comment can, and will, be taken into account on a case-by-case basis through the legal system, this ruling is an important step in how employee's time on the social media platforms will be monitored.
Harvard Business Review does a nice job of explaining concerted action and how, and if, an employee can be fired for a negative Facebook comment.
Cautionary note: If the negative comments are made during work
hours on a company computer, the ruling likely won't cover the
action and one can be fired for it. Best just to leave the complaining to offline conversations.
