WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says an agreement between the U.S. and Russia offers a chance to destroy Syria’s huge stockpile of chemical weapons and promises to end the threat the weapons pose to the region and the world as well as the Syrian people.

Obama says the international community expects Syria to live up to its public commitments to hand over its chemical weapons stockpile. Warning that the U.S. remains prepared to act if Syria falls short, he also cautions that more work remains even after the progress the deal represents

“The use of chemical weapons anywhere in the world is an affront to human dignity and a threat to the security of people everywhere,” Obama said in a statement Saturday. “We have a duty to preserve a world free from the fear of chemical weapons for our children. Today marks an important step towards achieving this goal.”

In setting out one of the most ambitious arms-control efforts in history, U.S. and Russian officials reached an agreement calling for an inventory of Syria’s chemical weapons program and seizing all its components. The agreement includes imposing penalties if Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government fails to comply.

Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and their teams had been meeting day and night in Geneva to develop a framework for ridding the world of Syria’s chemicals weapons. A gas attack in the Damascus suburbs on Aug. 21prompted a series of events leading to the meetings.

The U.S. and others blame Assad’s government for the attack, though Assad denies the charge. More than 1,400 people died, according to U.S. estimates, the latest victims of Syria’s 2½-year-old civil war. Yet polls showed relatively little support among Americans for a military strike against Syria, even after the Obama administration’s efforts to argue that punishing the Assad government for violating international norms of warfare was in the security interests of the U.S.

Obama ordered preparations for American airstrikes, but he decided instead to ask for authorization from Congress for military action. Then came the Russian proposal for international control of Syria’s chemical weapons, and Obama asked Congress, already largely opposed to military intervention, to delay a vote.

The deal to destroy Syria’s chemical weapons also offers the potential for reviving international peace talks to end a civil war that has claimed more than 100,000 lives and sent 2 million refugees fleeing for safety, and now threatens the stability of the entire Mideast.

In Congress, Republican Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who are among Obama’s sharpest foreign policy critics and support greater U.S. assistance for Syria’s rebels, said the agreement will embolden enemies such as Iran.

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California credited the president’s “steadfast leadership” for “making significant progress in our efforts to prevent the use of weapons of mass destruction.”

Mafia CIA : La plus longue chasse à l"homme

With Launch Of 3.0, Adobe Social Supports Instagram, LinkedIn, And More, Plus Predictive Capabilities

Adobe says version 3.0 of Adobe Social, its set of tools for social marketing, is going live right now.

When I met with Bill Ingram, vice president of product management for digital marketing, and Emi Hofmeister, senior manager of product marketing, they said Adobe Social is part of a larger effort to revamp Adobe’s marketing products. Last year, they conducted surveys about how the company was doing, and they discovered, as paraphrased by Ingram, that “we’re kind of hard to do business with.”

One reason: With 26 different products (and that’s just on the marketing side), it was hard to know what to buy. So Adobe consolidated the line down to five core products — Adobe Analytics, Adobe Target, Adobe Experience Manager, Adobe Media Optimizer, and yes, Adobe Social, which launched last fall. (If less than a year doesn’t seem like enough time to reach version 3.0, that’s because the version that came out last fall was technically considered Adobe Social 2.0. Because reasons.)

As for what’s actually new, Adobe Social now includes support for Flickr, Foursquare, Instagram, and LinkedIn. (That’s on top of previous support for Facebook, Google+, Reddit, Tumblr, and Twitter.) The new integrations include full access to Foursquare’s firehouse of data and the ability to both publish to and analyze from LinkedIn Pages and Groups.

In addition, the predictive publishing capabilities that were announced back in April have gone live, giving publishers tips about what kind of social media content they should publish and when so that they can improve their engagement. And it uses the new interface for the Adobe Marketing Cloud, which makes it easy for different teams to collaborate across Adobe’s various marketing products.

To illustrate the new experience, Hofmeister took me through an example. As a hypothetical online publisher, she spotted a trending topic, formulated a post on that topic linking to a relevant article, looked at the full calendar of scheduled posts, scheduled the post for an empty slot, got a recommendation for a better time to publish, then scheduled her post.

Thanks to new “parent-child” authoring capabilities, she was able to just write one post and push it to all social networks, customizing as necessary. And then, of course, she could track whether that post was to driving the results that she was interested in and use that data to do better next time.

Where gray hair is a plus

Over the years, lobbying has largely stayed focused on relationships. | John Shinkle/POLITICO

Think you need to be in your 20s to launch a hot startup?

Not on Capitol Hill.

Continue Reading

In Washington, it actually pays to be in your 60s when you’re starting a new business — at least on K Street.

Take Sens. John Breaux, a Democrat, and Trent Lott, a Republican. The longtime friends and former staff members in the House during the ’60s are a classic example of the well-worn path lawmakers, Capitol Hill aides and administration officials take to launch a second career well past what other industries would consider their prime.

When they launched their firm about five years ago, the pair quickly became K Street titans, drawing some of the biggest retainers downtown before selling their boutique firm in 2010 to lobbying powerhouse Patton Boggs.

Now 69, Breaux tells POLITICO he has no plans to retire in the near future.

“I’ve got kids and grandkids,” Breaux joked about his desire to keep working. But more seriously, Breaux said, continuing to work after retiring from Congress to advocate for clients was a natural transition and that age shouldn’t impede people from continuing to work.

“It’s fortunate people can be judged on their abilities and not an arbitrary number. I don’t think arbitrary numbers make much sense,” he said.

The Louisiana Democrat is hardly alone. Breaux joins the ranks of a veritable army of older lobbyists who maintain senior slots at trade associations, corporations, lobby shops and law firms.

An aging K Street has continued to boom even as middle-age and older Americans in other industries, such as manufacturing and business, have struggled to maintain relevance in the changing economy. Nearly half the 3.5 million jobless Americans are 45 or older, and the number of those unemployed for more than a year has quadrupled since 2007, according to recent Department of Labor statistics.

In part, the trend in Washington isn’t necessarily all that surprising — unlike many constantly evolving sectors like tech, lobbying has largely stayed focused on relationships, and securing business is often based on whom you know, not always subject matter expertise.

Veteran lobbyist Tom Quinn, who started lobbying in 1967, said he is better than ever at the political game.

“I’m probably at the top of my game. Business is good. My judgment is better,” Quinn said.

Industry insiders peg the number of older lobbyists to several factors, including people in general working longer , more companies and firms doing away with mandatory retirement ages and a flexible work environment that allows senior contract lobbyists to maintain a practice with only a few clients.

Veteran headhunter Nels Olson said that when he started in the business, it was much harder for candidates in their later 50s and 60s to find roles on the corporate side.

“I think just given the changing demographics in this day and age, there are many individuals well into their 60s in some of the top jobs,” Olson said. “We are also seeing it in some of the top association roles.”

The majority of lobbyists are over the age of 45 and have worked in the industry for more than 15 years, according to the 2012 Congressional Communications Report released by The George Washington University Graduate School of Political Management and other groups that surveyed more than 2,200 lobbyists.

Examples of 60-plus lobbyists are everywhere. From high-profile association heads like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Tom Donohue to the Distilled Spirits Council’s Peter Cressy to contract lobbyists like Charlie Black at Prime Policy Group and Jim Blanchard at DLA Piper.
