"You can access your index of contents via an online database, search for records by keyword and identify the box you need," said Mike Dennison, Iron Mountain's director of national accounts who is based in Addison. "We can then deliver it to your office by courier. If you need something quickly, we can have the document scanned for you."
Finally, make it a priority to explain these policies and procedures to your staff, and create a schedule for reminding employees about the policy.
This issue came up in the recent Andersen trial. When former Andersen accountant David B. Duncan testified about asking his team to destroy certain Enron-related documents, he claimed he was following Andersen's document-retention policy.
"In Andersen's case, had management been clear about its policies from the beginning, perhaps the outcome would have been different," said Kahn. "Instead of losing trust in the firm for failing to have adequate procedures and protections in place, the fingers would be pointed at the individual."
This might be the best example of what document-retention experts mean when they say that a company's policy is only as good as the people who practice it. Said Nimsiger, "At organizations large or small, it boils down to how people use the technology sitting on their desk."

Apple's manufacturers have reportedly started production on the next-generation iPhones, and they're apparently bringing over Force Touch pressure-sensitive screens from the Apple Watch.
According to a Bloomberg report, manufacturing is already underway and will ramp up even more in July.
Apple typically releases an iPhone hardware update in late September, so the news falls in line with the company's established rhythm. The next-generation device is presumed to be called the iPhone 6S.
Force Touch, a feature new to Apple's MacBook and the Apple Watch, makes the screen sensitive to varying levels of pressure, so it can tell whether you're tapping lightly or pressing firmly. The new feature would make certain actions on the phone easier to pull off, like pressing firmly when you want to drop a pin in Maps. The report indicates Apple has been working to build pressure sensitivity into the iPhone's display for two years.
The next iPhones will likely look the same as the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Because it is an "S" year for iPhones, Apple is expected to pack the next models with internal hardware upgrades but keep the designs intact. Last year, of course, we saw a big redesign that introduced two versions of Apple's flagship device, one with a much larger screen and both with slimmer, rounded bodies.
Force Touch was first unveiled during the Apple Watch announcement in September 2014 and made its way to the ultra-slim new MacBook's trackpad soon after. On the watch, the feature is used to access hidden options within apps. On the MacBook, Force Touch streamlines features like link previews, word definitions and fast-forwarding through videos.
The next iPhone is also rumored to use a harder kind of aluminum currently used in the Apple Watch Sport, and there could be a shiny new rose gold colored iPhone. The camera might see a bump to 12 megapixels, up from eight.
VIENNA – The basket of crude oil used as a benchmark indicator by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries fell to $74.17, the OPEC Secretariat said on Monday.
OPEC said the price of its basket went down by $0.34 on Friday, compared with the closing price at the previous session.
The November delivery of Brent crude opened at $77.22 per barrel at the start of Monday’s trading on the futures market, a 0.5-percent increase since the previous session’s close.
When fire officials arrived on the scene, three port-a-potties were engulfed in flames. The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
A student at Ridgeview Middle School in Gaithersburg, Maryland, was attacked in a boys’ locker room by four other students last week, according to a letter to parents from the school’s principal.
A Maryland judge has overturned a jury’s verdict awarding more than $38 million to the family of a shotgun-wielding woman who was fatally shot by police in 2016 after a six-hour standoff in her apartment.
Robert Plant split from his long-term partner Patty Griffin last year (13).
The Led Zeppelin legend was rumoured to have married the singer in secret in 2013 after setting up home together in Texas and collaborating on a number of projects, but Griffin denied the speculation saying, "We're not legally married, no."
However, Plant has now revealed the relationship came to an end, telling Britain's Radar magazine he experienced a shift both "culturally and slightly spiritually" and ploughed his heartbreak into his new music.
He adds of a recent trip back to his native U.K. with Griffin, "She didn't share my penchant for cider and the Black Country (English area) character I became after four pints of Thatchers (cider). My feelings are very much ones of sadness and regret."
The publication reports Plant's song House of Love, from his upcoming album Lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar, is about the break-up and starts with the line "Leaving was so hard."
Pinewood Shepperton studios is interested in buying BBC Resources, after reporting half-year results in which pre-tax profit was up 39% but operating profit and turnover were flat.
The company said it had expressed an interest in 'participating in the sale process' of BBC Resources, but would not be drawn on further details. It said the sale was 'clearly at a very early stage'.
For the half year to 30 June, TV revenues were down from £5.5m to £4.7m as a result of payment for some productions not being received during the accounting period. Chief executive Ivan Dunleavy said he did not consider this to be significant and that the company planned to increase its TV work in the future.
Dunleavy said that the company could increase the revenue share from TV, which currently stands at 30%, to 50% over the next three years.
Film revenues were £10.8m, an increase of 9% from £9.9m. For the six months to 30 June group turnover was down £400,000 to £18.3m, with operating profit flat at £3.6m and pre-tax profit up 39% to £2.9m.
The company's Studio 1 at Teddington is now fitted with HD kit and Dunleavy said that customers were increasingly choosing to produce programmes in this format. The margins at Teddington have improved as a result of these innovations.
The company is also planning to build a media centre comprising 1.8 million square feet of studio space. It will be built in the next eight to 10 years.
In addition, Pinewood has created a dedicated Foley division for film and TV productions that will be managed by Ed Colyer.
The group plans to build a new Foley centre in early 2008, thereby expanding this division. Programmes to benefit will include BBC1's primetime show Robin Hood, ITV's EchoBeachand one-off drama Half Broken Things.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained more than 5,000 points in a single year for the first time ever in 2017, but liberal journalists and celebs lost sight of those gains when a market pullback took place in early February. They quickly freaked out.
CNN Money hyped the Feb. 5, “worst point decline in history” — of more than 1,100 points — as “the scariest day on Wall Street in years.” Only later CNN Money senior writer Matt Egan admitted that the drop “amounted to 4.6%” (decline from the day before). He failed to point out that the only reason the fall was “historical” was because of the enormous growth that preceded it.
The media headlines were so bad, Poynter Institute scolded journalists over their “hyperventilated fear.” Even the liberal, New York Times published an “Upshot” blog calling out “dire” headlines and urging people to take a long view, remember context and beware of “distorted” perceptions.
After more than a year of record-setting growth, The Dow Jones Industrial Average endured a 4.6 percent drop on Monday Feb. 5. In raw numbers it was a drop of more than 1,100 points and the largest point loss in Dow history. But in percentage, it was much less significant. The drop also followed a smaller 2.5 percent drop Friday, Feb. 2.
Rather than provide a long view and quell fears, some media focused solely on the impact on 2018 gains (after years of a bull market).
Both the Los Angeles Times and DailyBeast columnist Dean Obeidallah framed the dip as destroying all of 2018’s gains.
While technically true, their choice ignored that the Dow’s Feb. 5, close was still higher than the record high set roughly two months earlier on Dec. 8, 2017. They also omitted the point that on Feb. 5, even after the big drop — the Dow closed more than 4,000 points higher than the highest Dow record at that time a year earlier.
Other journalists and outlets incorrectly described the 4.6 percent drop as a “crash.” In technical terms, a drop only qualifies as a crash “when a stock index loses more than 10 percent in a day or two,” according to The Balance.
Yet, headlines from both Express UK and left-leaning Vox used the “crash” label without even mentioning points and percentages. The Street also labeled the fall a “crash.” BuzzFeed misleadingly tweeted about the “historic Dow decline” while HuffPost ran a Reuters’ story under the headline, “Dow Plunges Nearly 1,600 Points In Biggest Intraday Point Drop In History.” The focus on “intraday” exaggerated the extent of the drop by making it sound even worse.
The Trump Stock Market crash continues as he continues to whine about how great he is doing.
Like Israel, several celebrities took aim at President Donald Trump, while ignoring the record-setting growth since his election.
Author Stephen King also blamed the drop on “Trump-onomics,” while actor John Cusack insinuated it would be “good” if the drop were based on fear of the president.
Stocks down 1,000 points just today. Another victory for Trump-onomics.
Hyperbole ran rampant as Washington Post reporters described the drop as a “free fall” and declared “Trump has presided over the biggest stock market drop in U.S. history, when measured by points in the Dow Jones industrial average.” Nowhere in that story, did the Post acknowledge he also presided over the largest annual Dow point growth.
No surprise, anti-Trump comedian Chelsea Handler promoted the one-sided Post story on Twitter.
“[T]he stock market has risen so fast in the past few years that the points are not as important as the percentage,” Tomkins explained. News stories focused primarily or exclusively on the points, not percentage, were not telling the whole story.
Some context for those claims that this is the largest single-day drop for the Dow in its history. That's true in terms of raw points (1,579 today). But in terms of percentage drop (4.6 percent), there were many days during the recession that were worse than this.
An elderly married couple who were separated when their aged care centre were unable to secure two beds for the pair have been reunited after six months apart.
The Perth couple, who have been married for 68 years, were separated for half a year when there was not enough room for them at the same aged care facility.
Great-grandfather Alf Craster, 89, and his wife Hetty were told this week that they would be able to live in the same aged care facility thanks to a generous offer from Berrington Aged Care.
'I can't explain the feeling... we are incredibly grateful our parents have been given this opportunity,' one of the Crasters' daughters told 9News.
'I can't get there quick enough,' Alf told reporters before letting out a laugh.
The situation has highlighted flaws in the Western Australian aged care system, where there is no requirement to keep married couples together.
Funding for aged care facilities has reduced over recent years, however, Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt is urging providers to prioritise building rooms that can accommodate couples.
A scandal surrounding the costly acquisition of a Texas oil refinery by Brazilian state-run energy company Petrobras years ago resurfaced Wednesday after new questions arose about President Dilma Rousseff’s handling of the deal, which involved a sum of 1.2bn dollars.
Ms. Rousseff, who was Petrobras chairwoman at the time and cabinet chief, on Wednesday blamed a former company executive for producing a “flawed” summary of the pending deal that led her to sign off on it in 2006. The Pasadena, Texas, refinery ended up costing the firm three times more than expected and has become the subject of federal investigations in Brazil.
“It became known that the report was technically and legally flawed,” according to a statement from the president’s communications office. As a result, Petrobras paid nearly 1.2 billion dollars for a facility that the previous owner, Belgian commodities trader Transcor Astra Group SA, had purchased for 42.5 million, according to prosecutors who have been investigating the deal since last year.
On Wednesday, it became publicly known, in an article in the O. Estado de S. Paulo newspaper, that Ms. Rousseff had personally backed the deal while on the company’s board. She responded to the article with a statement saying that the board’s decision to authorize Petrobras’s initial purchase of a 50% stake in the refinery was based on a report from the company’s international director at the time, Nestor Cerveró.
The refinery scandal is the latest trouble for Petrobras, which is struggling to manage a massive project to develop deep-water oil fields discovered off Brazil’s coast in the last decade.
The company has borrowed heavily to finance those plans, becoming the world’s most indebted oil major with 94.6 billion in net debt at the end of 2013. Moody’s Investors Services downgraded Petrobras corporate debt last year, and its shares are trading at their lowest since 2005.
Brazil’s Federal Police said last week they are looking into the Texas deal, in addition to recent allegations that Petrobras officials accepted bribes from SBM Offshore NV, a Netherlands-based supplier of offshore oil vessels, several years ago.
Brazilian federal prosecutors are investigating the deal for possible irregularities, such as overpayment by Petrobras. Opposition politicians have also seized on the recent Petrobras cases. Brazil’s Congress last week voted to create a commission to investigate the SBM Offshore bribery allegations in what was seen as a legislative defeat for Ms. Rousseff.

Bad deal. We need to investigate thoroughly.
Another matter. I think the dollar does not meet our needs. It's a very volatile currency. China and Brazil will use their own currencies in trade.
Not as volatile as the Chinese and Brazilian currencies. Who in hell wants Brazilian currency, only the Venuzalians to wipe their arses.
The nations in the BRIC group and even the E.U. that wants to do business with Brazil outside the US dollar.
You can't spell huh, government school has failed you. The US dollar is becoming slowly the piece of paper you will use to wipe your arse.
BlackBerry founder Mike Lazaridis resigns from post as vice chair and company director.
BlackBerry may have just posted a surprising fourth-quarter profit off the early successes of their BlackBerry Z10 handsets (shifting 1 million of the new phones and 6 million smartphones overall). But it’s the news that company founder Mike Lazaridis is to resign from his post as vice chair and company director that’s the item we’ll take away from this latest earnings call.
Establishing the company alongside co-CEO Jim Balsillie and co-founder Doug Fregin in 1998, Lazaridis helped steer the company to a point where they were clear smartphone market leaders and innovators. However, the dual leadership approach saw the company’s fortunes fade in the wake of touch-orientated smartphones like the iPhone, leading to Lazaridis handing over the reigns to current BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins in January 2012.
“With the launch of BlackBerry 10, I believe I have fulfilled my commitment to the Board,” said Lazaridis.
Lazaridis will now focus on running his own investment fund alongside Fregin.
He must have lost the bet!. ie BB not recovering after the launch of Z10. But is has and moving forward, thank goodness. New BB going QNX is like the OS9 to OSX transition of Apple before. Modern OS towards the future.
The 214-unit Atwater Place is one of Portland's priciest condominium addresses. The building's lender has taken primary control of the South Waterfront tower amid lagging sales.
Portland's two most prestigious real estate developers have lost primary control of two condo towers in Portland's South Waterfront district after sales collapsed in the housing crisis.
Gerding Edlen Development Co. and Williams & Dame Development built and marketed the John Ross and Atwater Place as part of a massive riverfront urban renewal project fueled by $125 million in taxpayer money for public works projects.
After developers fell behind their sales schedules, lenders exerted their power to take more control over sales at both buildings. The two developers remain involved in the projects.
South Waterfront's troubles aren't unusual in a recession where credit is as hard to come by as a brunch table on a sunny Portland Sunday. Regional home prices through June were down 17 percent from their 2007 peak, and the city's skyline is lined with buildings in trouble.
One major condo project, the Waterfront Pearl, has gone back to the bank in a foreclosure. A lender sued the owners of the iconic KOIN Center claiming they missed a mortgage payment. And a new glassy downtown office building is searching for its first tenant.
What makes the South Waterfront unique is the size and scale of the developers' and the city's 30-story ambition, their incredibly unlucky timing and the riverfront view into the nation's economic malaise.
The John Ross and Atwater Place have not gone into default or foreclosure. But the lenders' moves do give them more control over the projects' key decisions.
Public records show the companies that own the buildings are now located in the lenders' out-of-state offices. It is the lenders, not the developers or their real estate brokers, who now sign sales documents.
Mark Edlen, Gerding Edlen's managing principal, said only that the developers continue to help sell the buildings.
Real estate broker Patrick Clark, whose company has sold all of South Waterfront's new condos, said the homeowners associations, maintenance and marketing budgets will continue to be funded by the owners until all units are sold.
For potential buyers, he said, "nothing has changed. The buildings are still supported."
Gerding Edlen Development and Williams & Dame Development launched South Waterfront on the front end of the housing bubble in 2003.
They set out to turn the former industrial wasteland into a taller version of the Pearl: a vibrant neighborhood of condos, shops and easy river access.
The real estate market still cooked when sales opened on the first tower, the Meriwether. Homeowners and investors, lubricated by loosened lending standards, snapped up units.
When sales opened in 2005 for the second tower, 222 people jumped to reserve their spots in the 31-story John Ross.
Based on that success, the developers launched construction on the third project, Atwater Place, then a fourth.
The pool of buyers dried up as mortgage banks tightened lending standards.
Dozens of people who reserved John Ross units backed out. Through July, the John Ross had closed 186 sales. That's 61 percent of the building's 303 units, according to the firm selling the building, Realty Trust City.
Atwater Place, the third tower, is one of the city's most exclusive addresses. But high-end real estate sales are especially sluggish in Portland and nationwide. Sales have closed on 57 of the building's 214 units since November 2007.
South Waterfront's fourth tower, built by the same developers, switched from condos to apartments in May 2008.
