Did you see US News and World Report’s list of Best Hospitals? How about the Wall Street Journal’s list of the Best Health Books of 2009?

by David Tandet
Manatt, Phelps is a law firm that provides personalized care for integrated legal services. After an old friend told me about a presentation she’d made to some attorneys there, I went to their website to find out more.

Public/Private Funding Partnerships Demand Proactive PR
by David Tandet
Philanthropy and public relations have a long history together. When 19th century tycoons were attacked as robber barons, several set up foundations to contribute to good causes — in part to fend off the verbal assaults.
Sometimes the infusion of capital into new works was so great that foundations had to set up their […]

by David Tandet
Just got a great email from Christian reminding me my recent purchase of a computer entitles me to a good deal on software.
So who is Christian Boyce? A computer rep or store manager?

Grammar As It Should Be
by David Tandet
Good grammar rocks.
I’m no grammarian.
But I know when to look up the right way to say something.
That’s more than a research exercise.

How many people use “as” correctly these days? So why […]

by David Tandet
Jerry Lynch quoted former Olympic volleyball player Lori Endicott in his sports psychology classic Thinking Body, Dancing Mind: “There are six people on the volleyball court.

by David Tandet
Increasing social media has the same effect on good writing that the size of a parking structure has on nice cars: not much.

by David Tandet
Came across a terrific item by Emily (Emily’s World) on how non-profits can use the social web to spread the word.
