Without a definition of corporate sustainability, how to measure performance?

The broad scope of the issue makes it hard to determine what to measure, argues Cory Searc

Measurement of the top-quark pair production cross section in pp collisions at √s = 7TeV in μ + τ final states with ATLAS

A measurement of the cross section of top quark pair production in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass of 7TeV at the LHC using events with an isolated μ and a τ lepton decaying hadronically is reported. In addition to a μ and a τ lepton, large missing transverse energy and two or more jets are required. At least one of the jets must be identified as originating from a b quark. To identify τ leptons, the analysis uses a multivariate technique based on boosted decision trees. A data sample collected by ATLAS corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.08 fb−1 yields σt¯t = 142 ± 21(stat.) ±20 16 (syst.) ± 5 (lumi.) pb

Do Not Call: Abdicating and Ignoring Responsibility

I am not a lawyer, but for nearly a decade and a half, I have dealt with the issues that gave rise to the Federal Do Not Call Registry. Regardless of what you have read or seen, this issue did not just appear on the scene with the updating of the FTC’s Telemarketing Sales Rule or the subsequent corollary changes made by the FCC in its rules implementing the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”). As a matter of fact, the original regulatory rulemaking by the FCC to implement the TCPA are over a decade old
