Safe Teen Drivers
The most dangerous time of your teen's life
Car crashes are the leading cause of death for teens in the U.S. In fact, more teens die in car crashes than from suicides and homicides combined. Fortunately, teen crashes are preventable, and parents play a significant role in ensuring these crashes are a thing of the past.
Here are a few things many parents don't know about teen driving:

Don't TEXT and DRIVE
Nearly 500,000 young adults each year are injured due to various forms of distracted driving, including texting, mobile instant messaging, updating social media platforms, sending photos, etc. It's a habit deadlier than drunk driving. We live in a constantly connected world where multitasking is second nature and communicating is instant. Coupled with this compulsion, teens and young adults are overly confident in their ability to 'safely' text while driving.
Fact #1 - Five seconds is the average time your eyes are off the road while texting. When traveling at 55 mph, that's enough time to cover the length of a football field. (2009, VTTI)
Fact #2 - A texting driver is 23 times more likely to get into an accident than a non-texting driver. (2009, VTTI)
Fact #3 - Of those killed in distracted-driving-related crashes, 995 involved reports of a cell phone as a distraction (18% of fatalities in distraction-related crashes.) (NHTSA)

The Evolution of Singapore Business: A Case Study Approach
AbstractThis paper is the result of a pilot study conducted to track, explore and analyse various aspects of the evolution of Singapore business within a holistic framework using case study methodology. Following the Introduction in Section 1, Section 2 provides the backdrop against which the evolution of business organisations is viewed, i.e. a brief overview of the evolution of the Singapore economy from an entrepot in the mid-1960s to a globally connected manufacturing and services hub at the turn of the millennium. Section 3 provides an outline of the scope, methodology and rationale of this study. Section 4 contains summaries of the observations based on the case studies (refer to volume 2) for the three categories of business organisations in respect of the specified aspects of their business development. Section 5 contains notes and comments based on findings from existing studies and statistics relating to the size, composition and performance of Singapore companies to provide supplementary perspectives. The Concluding Remarks in Section 6 make a preliminary attempt to address questions raised on issues concerning Singapore's businesses and specified aspects of their evolution based on the perspectives gained from the case studies covered and some of the relevant existing literature and statistics. The advantages and limitations of the methodology adopted in the study and possible areas for further research are also outlined. The Appendices contain detailed explanatory notes on concepts, indicators and benchmarks relevant to the analysis in the study. [Working Paper No. 10]

Pontiac Fiero GT--D&M Motorsports Walk Around Review
Pontiac Fiero GT Video Review Presented by D&M Motorsports.
The Pontiac Fiero is a mid-engined sports car that was built by the Pontiac
division of General Motors from 1984 to 1988. The Fiero—meaning "proud"
in Italian and "wild", "fierce", or "ferocious" in Spanish—was designed
by George Milidrag and Hulki Aldikacti as a Pontiac sports car. The Fiero
was the first two-seater Pontiac since the 1926 to 1938 coupes, and also
the first and only mass-produced mid-engine sports car by a U.S.
manufacturer. Many technologies incorporated in the Fiero design such as
plastic body panels were radical for its time. Alternative names considered
for the car were Sprint, P3000, Pegasus, Fiamma, Sunfire, and Firebird
XP.[citation needed] The Fiero 2M4 (2-seat, Mid-engine, 4-cylinder) was on
Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list for 1984. The 1984 Fiero was the
Official Pace Car of the Indianapolis 500 for 1984, beating out the new
1984 Chevrolet Corvette for the honor.
370,168 Fieros were produced over the relatively short production run of
five years; by comparison, 163,000 Toyota MR2s were sold in its first five
years.[1] At the time, its reputation suffered from criticisms over
performance, reliability and safety issues. Today however, compared to less
adventurous attempts at two-seaters such as the Ford EXP, the unique style
of the Fiero compared to other American cars has left it a cult following
as a collectible car. It remains a popular chassis for rebodies and
electric conversions.
Already selling the Corvette, General Motors management and accountants
were opposed to investing in a second two-seater sports car. But in 1979,
during the oil crisis, management saw a market opportunity for a
fuel-efficient sporty commuter car, and design work on the Fiero commenced.
To this end, it was fitted with a fuel efficient version of GM's 2.5 L
four-cylinder "Iron Duke" engine capable of 27 mpg-US (8.7 L/100 km; 32
mpg-imp) in the city and 40 mpg-US (5.9 L/100 km; 48 mpg-imp) on the
highway with the economy-ratio transmission option. These figures are U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency test-circuit results, published by Pontiac,
and confirmed from multiple sources.[2] It was impressive mileage for a
2.5-liter engine of the period, and still good by today's standards, but
the three-speed automatic reduced highway mileage to only 32 mpg-US (7.4
L/100 km; 38 mpg-imp). With respect to fuel economy, the Fiero would appeal
to a market niche for which the Corvette with its V8 engine was unsuitable.
A mid-engine layout was chosen as a way to reduce both aerodynamic drag and
vehicle weight to improve fuel efficiency, and also for its handling,
traction, and braking benefits. The sports car potential of the mid-engine
layout was not fully realized when the Fiero debuted. In line with its
market position, the tires, brakes, and some suspension components were
carried over from other GM economy cars (like the Chevrolet Citation and
Chevrolet Chevette) so the Fiero could be priced appropriately. As a
result, the handling and cornering abilities of the initial Fiero were
merely on par with other contemporary sporty coupes (Road & Track 1985).
The public had high expectations for the Fiero with its mid-engine layout
and futuristic styling, which resembles more exotic mid-engine sports cars
costing much more. While initially garnering good reviews for its handling
(Motor Trend 1984), the Fiero soon received disappointing reviews, as the
automotive critics expected higher performance from a mid-engine
two-seater. Despite the critical press, the Fiero sold extremely well and
Pontiac operated three shifts at the factory during 1984, and could not
keep up with initial demand.[3]
The sharing of suspension components with other GM cars meant the rear
suspension and powertrain was almost identical to that of the Chevrolet
Citation and Pontiac Phoenix; the Fiero even included rear tie rod ends
attached to a "steering knuckle", although these were hard-mounted to the
engine cradle and only used for maintaining the rear tire alignment. The
front suspension was derived from the Chevrolet Chevette, and Chevette
enthusiasts found that they could upgrade their undersized front brakes and
rotors using Fiero parts.
By 1985, the oil crisis was a thing of the past and demand developed for a
Fiero having more engine power and better sports car performance. Pontiac
responded by introducing the GT model which included upgraded suspension
tuning, wider tires, and a V6 engine having 43 horsepower (32 kW) more than
the base four-cylinder. In 1986, the GT model was restyled to look even
more sleek.

May is a loud month in the forest. Even on a gray, rainy morning, the dawn chorus is louder than an elementary school playground.
Birds are calling constantly to establish territories and attract mates. Some species have already mated and have nests full of eggs. One friend has already seen four cardinal hatchlings that are screaming at their parents for food. And all avian parents are maniacally alarming whenever nest robbers threaten their nests.
This week I was on the lake and paid attention to the shoreline birds that have their own raucous vocal presence. Overhead I've seen eagles, herons and ospreys, and the gulls, geese and ducks continue to squawk and honk for whatever reasons they have.
This week I heard a voice I didn't recognize, mainly because I haven't listened well enough in the past.
A variation of gull-like calls came from a group of common terns sitting on a post at the Westport Marina having some heated although not aggressive "conversation." Four or five individuals seemed to be vying for position on the post but one pair had a particular determination to be on the post together.
Common terns are slender birds with black heads, white bodies, gray wings and bright red beaks. They are called "sea swallows" in Great Britain because of their split tails and the flight pattern that obviously resembles swallows.
The common terns, like their more famous cousins the Arctic terns, are migratory, returning to Lake Champlain from Central and South America where they wintered. The adult birds we see have flown thousands of miles to return to their nesting colonies.
On Lake Champlain, there are nesting colonies on the islands of the Inland Sea near the Vermont shore. They compete with gulls, cormorants and ducks for nest sites on flat rocks and bare islands with low vegetation.

Results of an investigation into flooding last year during a dam removal project in Michigan's northwestern Lower Peninsula are expected to be sent to the state attorney general's office for review.
Brian Jankowski, a district supervisor for the state Department of Environmental Quality, told the Traverse City Record-Eagle that a state investigation into environmental damage to the Boardman River is expected to be sent to that office.
The update comes as Michigan environmental regulators consider enforcement actions.
The Oct. 6 flood happened during a span of hours in what was supposed to be a slow draining of the Brown Bridge Dam in Grand Traverse County's East Bay Township. The dam removal project is part of a broader effort to return the Boardman River to a more natural state.

Last January, I was invited to travel to Lima, Peru with Population Action International and Pathfinder International to observe international family planning and reproductive-health assistance in action.
It was an interesting time because just before we arrived, the Peruvian courts had declared unconstitutional a law that had made sex illegal for anyone under 18. This law meant that it was illegal for teenagers to have sex, and it also restricted their ability to purchase or receive information about condoms or contraceptives.
Peru has extremely high rates of teen pregnancy. The law, along with other restrictive policies, was driven by ideological opponents, in particular the Catholic Church, which is very powerful in Peru.
Unfortunately, the extreme nature of the Peruvian law is becoming more common in the United States. Opposition to contraception and reproductive rights are increasingly on display here at home.
Planned Parenthood has already seen its funding cut in Texas, and nearly 200,000 Texas women have lost or could lose access to family planning. In Ohio, a bill that was, thankfully, defeated proposed fining teachers $5,000 if they distributed contraceptives or taught "any gateway sexual activity or health message."
In Florida, not only is sex education not required by law, but even if schools choose to provide it, they are forced to put a strong focus on abstinence.
Suddenly, Peru doesn't seem so far away.
Whether in the United States or around the world, this kind of thinking is harmful.
In the United States , about half of all pregnancies are still unintended. And in developing countries, there are 222 million women who want to prevent pregnancy, but lack modern contraceptives. In 2012, 291,000 women in these countries died from pregnancy-related causes; 104,000 of those pregnancies were unintended.
Access to family planning can help change this. And investments in family planning — whether at home or abroad — just make sense. Women who have access to a full range of effective contraceptive methods and reproductive health services are better able to protect themselves against HIV, more likely to get further education, and better able to earn a good living to support themselves and their families.
In short, promoting women's rights and empowerment goes a long way toward improving their lives, and contributing toward achieving critical global development goals.
In Peru, Texas, Ohio or Florida, while we might wish young people were not having sex, it makes a lot more sense to give anyone of child-bearing age protection along with knowledge. Telling teenagers not to do it is just not enough.

When they reached the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest point in Africa, sisters Katie and Abbie Taylor were a little loopy. The lack of oxygen was getting to Katie's head, and Abbie was doing cartwheels as the sun rose over the sparkling snow surrounding them.
"When you're climbing, you're like, why do people do this for fun? I think I'm going to die, I can't take another step," Katie said. "But somehow you do."
They had been climbing for six hours after an 11 p.m. start, the climate turning to tundra and the air thinning.
"Your body can do more than you think it can," Katie said. "It's a huge testament to what people can do in this world. It's just inspiring. You feel like you can do anything."
Katie and Abby, Brookfield Central grads now ages 24 and 19, didn't stop at climbing a mountain. Before their trip, they raised $11,134 for Make a Difference, which helped fund tuition for kids at an orphanage in Tanzania, where the Taylors volunteered after their climb.
The students who get tuition money are able to go to a private boarding school, regarded as a leap up from public schools. The United Nations has reported the quality of public education in Tanzania is declining because spending has not kept up with the significant influx of students showing up for class. As a result, it says schools are suffering from a lack of qualified teachers, facilities, materials, safety, water and sanitation.
Katie said the students often talked about what they hoped to get out of their private educations.
"Any conversation with the kids revolved around them telling us what they want to be when they grow up, and what their dreams are and how they want to pass it on," Katie said. "They're excited to get successful so then they can choose new kids to help. I thought it was so cool that young teenagers were already thinking about how to help other people."
In addition to the monetary donations, the Taylors took three suitcases stuffed with more than 100 pounds of supplies donated by Brookfield Central's Key Club. Abbie said this helped the students prepare for their boarding school.
"They were anxious about missing supplies for boarding school, and you could tell they really needed it and really appreciated it," Abbie said.
Abbie said many of the students had lost one or both of their parents and did not have a safe or nurturing home. In one case, she said, a boy's parents had been killed and he had run away at age 4.
"It's humbling to see how someone can have such a hard start and now they are going to private school and loving life," Abbie said. "My world has been revolutionized."
She said the trip gave her a new perspective on change. At the same time feeling small, she saw how significant her impact could be for a few people.
"The mountain makes you realize how small you are and how big the world is," Abbie said. "No matter how big your dreams are, you should still go for them, and even if you don't reach your biggest dream, you can still make a difference in little ways."
The sisters extend a thanks to everyone in Brookfield and beyond who helped make their trip happen.
"We are so thankful for all the donations and all the time people spent praying for us and thinking about us," Abbie said. "Every single person who's helped has made a difference."

Knife engraved with Dore's illustrations for Dante's Inferno
This gorgeous knife is elaborately engraved with scenes replicating Dore's illustrations to Dante's Inferno; I'm not clear on whether this is a knife or a razor (which is technically a knife, I know) -- the forum is called "Straight Razor Forum," the poster calls it a "knife," and the piece does not resemble straight razors or pocket knives of my experience.

Season of Blood
A Rwandan Journey
By Fergal Keane
(Penguin Books, Mass Market Paperback, 9780140247602, 224pp.)
Publication Date: September 1, 1997
Shop Local
Enter your zip code below to find indies closest to you.
? Season of Blood was awarded Britain?s prestigious Orwell Prize for the best political book of 1995 ? Fergal Keane is the recipient of the 1995 Amnesty International Award for Best International Television Documentary. In 1994 he was named Sony Reporter of the Year at the New York Festival of Radio. When Rwandan president Habyarimana?s jet was shot down in April 1994, the country erupted into a hundred-day orgy of killing which left up to one million dead. Now, following the lines of blood and history, Fergal Keane takes us right along with him on a journey through the holocaust that preempted our television screens. Season of Blood is a veteran Africanist?s deeply personal and elucidating account of ordinary people caught in a nightmare of manipulation and massacre?an encounter with unimaginable evil. Contradicting the popular assumption that the genocide erupted as a result of tribal tensions, Keane demonstrates how a power-hungry clique actually planned the massacres far in advance through a systematic campaign of brainwashing and propaganda delivered with a precision not seen since Nazi Germany. Harrowing, searching, and tender, this overpowering narrative asks profound human questions for which we have no answers.

4.03/5 rDev +4.7%
Pours a clear and crisp rich walnut brown with good head retention. The aroma is light malt with some subtle dry fruit and just a note of smoke, exactly how I like it. The front taste is fruit followed by a sweet maltiness in the middle and finishes with smoke, clean and dry and a small hop bite. Mouthfeel is dry, crisp and full carbonation. I could certainly session this beer.

Enjoyed on-tap at the brewpub.
Served in a goblet. Was presented as a deep brown colored beer with moderate tannish head.
Smell is notable for roasted malt with a distinct smoky aspect.
Taste is also strong on the roasted malt. Some nice coffee notes are also present. An enjoyable dryness surfaces at the finish.
This was a nice beer. Nothing spectactular, but still very tasty.

3.8/5 rDev -1.3%
On tap in Malvern served in a McKenzie chalice.
A: A dark almost black color with a one finger light brown head. Not a real think head as it seemed to have small little bubbles more than a foam.
S: Deep smell, classic porter smell with some nuts, coffee and the hint of smoke.
T: Very malty with little hops. A sweet flavor with hints of caramel, coffee, nuts and of course the smoke flavor on the finish. Very nice little porter flavor.
M: Medium body with light carbonation and not a lot of alcohol presence. No real bitterness with a nice smooth malt feeling.
D: Good, I could have had more than one and this was a very easy drinking porter. Not a bad beer, very enjoyable.
Overall a solid porter wtih a hint of smokiness. I'll disagree with the other reviewer that said it is more in the brown ale style. To me, this was a classic porter with the smoke added at the finish.
I am really glad I tried it and I actually am considering getting a growler fill of it. I enjoyed the beer and you should too. Cheers.

This one was on-tap at the McKenzie Brew House in Glen Mills on 5/17/2008. It was served to me in a Pilsner glass. The specifications of this beer is 13.6 Plato, 5.8% ABV, and 18 IBUs.
This Smoked Porter poured a dark chocolate black with some ruby red highlight shining through at the bottom and along the sides. The tan head of foam was a bit on the small side, but at least it left behind a tan film and a few tan colored spots of lace. The aroma put "Smoked" into Smoked Porter. The aroma to this beer was smoky with smoked malts, bitter dark chocolate, a slight touch of smoked meats, and a hint of smoked beechwood in the background. The taste was lightly smoky with bitter dark chocolate, dark roasted malts, a hint of coffee, a small touch of olives, and this smoky Porter ended with dry and roasted bitter hops. The mouthfeel is more toward the medium side that contained a slightly dry smoky aftertaste of roasted malts, coffee, and dark chocolate. It wasn't as smoky as a Rauchbier, but it was smoky for a Porter. Overall, it was nice smoky Porter that I wouldn't mind having again.

Idaho First Congressional District Rep. Raul Labrador has been in office a little more than 100 days, and up to this point he has been every bit the congressman he promised he would be. The former member of the Idaho Legislature has held true to the bedrock conservative principles he promised. And so far, he has done so firmly, while at the same time being thoughtful, deliberate and respectful. He has given credit to the opposition when it's due. He has maintained the strong fiscally conservative approach he campaigned on without all the bombast and spectacle of the last Republican to hold the office, Bill Sali/Idaho Press-Tribune Editorial Board. More here.
Question: Who would you rather have sitting in the 1st Congressional District seat now — Raul Labrador or Bill Sali?

What Printing MIS System is best for you?
PagePath Technologies recently conducted an online survey of Print MIS Systems. What you are going to see below is strictly raw data from the survey. We have not tried to sway in any direction or draw any conclusions from this. We are just presenting data. We would encourage you to comment below on any of your thoughts or feelings on this matter. We hope this helps.
Data from the question "What MIS/Estimating System are you currently using?"
Data from the question "How would you rate your MIS/Estimating System"
Comments on the various MIS Systems
- We have used PrintSmith for 5 years. It is improving slowly. Some of the new features in 8 are worthwhile.
- The product works fine, but I have not seen any signs of progress or development for at least two years.
- Good, reliable program but lacks good support. The program handles all our needs and I pay yearly maint. fee but when I needed help the support staff seemed aloof. I get better support from others that use PrintSmith
- PrintSmith is a very good estimating program but for upgrades I think it's beyond their current programmers and support staff.
- The base module "PrintSmith" is limiting. We are debating whether to buy the module Report Writer.
- Overall it meets our needs. Would actually prefer a little bit more complex estimating system. That part is a little to generic and set up for a variety of users.
- Reports are very difficult as are many of the pricing features — also not compatible with any bookkeeping system
- Have been using PrintSmith for many years; last year tried to switch to ePace but it was very difficult.Very easy to use but has limitations (mainly no integration with any other program)
- Powerful, flexible, fast.
- We've been using it for over 20 years. They have the best service. They also have a user group and they listen to what we ask for…big plus.
- Great program. Wonderful support
- I was at a shop which used Printers Plan for eight years and Printers Plan seemed more user friendly.
- Does an adequate job but the SQL server seems to slow everything down. Have to wait awhile for Estimate/Job Ticket retrieval and export of estimates to .pdf's.
- I'd really like to switch to something more user friendly.
- Custom coded program that runs all functions of our company. Estimating, scheduling, paper, inventory, invoicing. Has been put together over the last 30 years, and still going. Yes that is right 30 years. The first parts of it were coded in 1978, and work just fine.
- Our ERP is from Reflex Software. It is mostly custom developed but financial system is based on their common ERP core that they use for multiple implementations. We have worked with the same software developers for 20 years. Our previous ERP was a Unix green screen terminal application. Expensive to do custom development. And sometimes it sucks to sometimes be basically beta testing new features in a production environment but it's very targeted to our needs.
Additional thoughts or comments are encouraged below. Thanks to all who participated.
7 thoughts on "What Printing MIS System is best for you?"
We have been using EFI Pace for about 8 years now, and it has gone through several upgrades, the biggest of course being the acquisition by EFI. The customer support is outstanding; probably one of the best that I have come in contact with. Their NOC is second to none, and the modules allow for almost unlimited expansion as your business grows. There is also a web-to-print and storefront module to expand your company present to the internet. Of course, we prefer the sophistication of MOD!
I'm surprised to see PrintSmith at 48%, I thought it would be much lower. I hope EFI is watching and listening! They have really handcuffed the development of PrintSmith and lost site of it's true competition. (EFI sees PS as a stepping stone to their more expensive systems.)
Printer's Plan latest version has pulled ahead of PrintSmith in new features and development. They seem to be really listening to their users.
If PrintSmith 8.1(in beta right now) doesn't deliver 2 years worth of new features, I wouldn't be surprised to see an exodus to other programs.
ePace is complicated and not very user friendly. The dockets are confusing and the support for this product sucks.
We have been testing three products in demo mode over the past two months to determine which one we want to purchase. Between Printer's Plan-(SoftUse), PrintSmith-(EFI), and Printfire Morning Flight the winner was Printer's Plan. The problem is we are hesitant to purchase Printer's Plan, because the backend is still on Microsoft Access 2003. They do not have plans to migrate to MS-SQL for at least 1 year. On the other hand PrintSmith which came in at a close 2nd does have plans to migrate their proprietary database to MS-SQL within the next 2 months.
Virtualsystems.com developed Print & Mail-Shop, an MIS system for printing is very user friendly…
We at Param ERP Solutions India Pvt Ltd offers very simple and efficient Print MIS, which can meet requirements of commercial, packaging, digital and publishing print companies. http://www.linkedin.com/paramerp

The five banks involved in a sweeping national mortgage settlement reported providing $350 million in mortgage relief to 7,500 borrowers in North Carolina through the end of last year, according to a report released Thursday by the settlement's monitor.
But less than 10 percent -- about $35 million -- of the total has come from principal forgiveness on homeowner's mortgages. The largest amount, more than one-third, has come from short sales, which require borrowers to leave their homes.
Another third now comes from second-lien extinguishments; for example, when a bank wipes out a home equity loan. Nearly 3,000 homeowners in the state had their second-liens extinguished, the bulk of which came in the last three months of the year.
The pattern was largely borne out at the national level, where the banks reported a total of $45 billion in total relief. About $19.5 billion came from short sales, and $11.6 billion in second-lien extinguishments and modifications. About $7.4 billion has come from principal forgiveness.
This was the third progress report under the settlement from monitor Joseph Smith, who previously was the North Carolina commissioner of banks. The settlement went into effect March 1 and included Bank of America, Wells Fargo and three other large servicers. Combined, the banks are required to provide $25 billion in cash payments and mortgage relief.
The dollar figures in Thursday's report do not reflect total progress toward the requirements. Not all forms of relief receive dollar-for-dollar credit to the $25 billion total. Some forms, including some short sales, can receive at little as 20 percent credit.
In a news release, Bank of America said that it has made "significant progress" in its national mortgage settlement programs, and said it has provided "real and meaningful relief."

A product of the times [Electrical Apparatus]
(Electrical Apparatus Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) New forms of multimedia are allowing companies to market their products in unique ways IT WASN'T TOO long ago when the primary way for manufacturers or distributors to promote their products was through a catalog or a well-placed phone call to a possible client. However effective these approaches were, the evolving multimedia landscape has paved the way for even more opportunities to market motors, drives, bearings and other products.
The emergence of YouTube and the ease of video streaming has given companies a new arena for spotlighting specific products. One company that is taking advantage of this is Motion Industries, a Birmingham, Ala.-based distributor of products in mechanical power transmission, and electrical and industrial automation, The company has a video channel titled "MiHow2" which can be found embedded on their Web site (www.mihow2.com) or as a video series on YouTube.
A MiHow2 video is like a product demonstration where a representative from a manufacturer appears on the show and displays the practical application of certain products to the show's host. The goal of the instructional series is to share practical industrial applications that viewers can adapt in their own facilities. Guests of the show represent well-known manufacturers of bearings, chains, thermal imaging cameras, drives, hydraulic equipment, motors, and gearboxes. There are currently more than 20 videos in the series. One video demonstrates how to align rotating equipment, in this case an electric motor and a gearbox, using a straight edge, shims, gauges, and a wrench.
The show's set has the appearance of a workshop, and with an average runtime of around five minutes, each video allows for an in-depth look at a product and how it can be applied to solve a problem. It's this instructive aspect that prevents the show from falling into the phony infomercial well. Yes, manufacturers go on the show to promote their company or a particular product, but the host and structure keep the program well-rooted in education.
A different approach to marketing through videos can be seen on the Siemens YouTube channel. Instead of a scripted conversation, these videos from the global manufacturer of electronics and electrical engineering feature narration, music, a variety of settings, and computerized diagrams. The videos are well-produced, at times relying heavily on computer-generated images, and cover a range of products like HVAC controllers, power distribution, Smart Grid, electric car charging, and data center products.
The voice-over for the product videos can be grandiose at times, and those looking for human beings using certain products in practical scenarios may find some of the videos somewhat cold and detached.
The company is striving for a futuristic, on-the-cutting-edge feel by showcasing production values. The Siemens YouTube channel has more than three thousand videos, not just for marketing products, that include interviews with corporate staff, convention presentations, and visits to smaller factories that are using new technology to create jobs.
Also, inspiring stories like how martial arts changed the life of an impoverished Indian boy are featured. His martial arts program is provided through the "Happy Feet Initiative" at St. Catherine's Home, which is supported by Siemens as part of its Corporate Citizenship initiatives.
Beyond videos, manufacturers are using social media platforms to market their products. Through Twitter, companies can promote their products directly to their followers, providing links to their Web sites for further information. The direct messaging function can allow interested buyers to contact the manufacturer or distributor and express their interest in making a purchase.
Pinterest, fairly new to the social media game, provides a space for large product photos. Users have boards where they "pin" images or videos. All pins link back to their original source, usually another Web site. KB Electronics, a Coral Springs, Fla., manufacturer of a-c and d-c drives, has a Pinterest board that features large images of its products that include specifications and links back to the company Web site for those who want further information.
Pinterest can work from a marketing standpoint by presenting a large visual showcase for products and a detailed organizational system. Since the site is in its fledgling stage and used largely for decoration and other purposes, visitors will not find much in the way of electrical engineering.
The marketing departments for some companies are utilizing apps for smartphones and tablets too. Cooper Bussmann is offering a new mobile application that simplifies the search for the right fuse and fuse block replacement. Available for iPhone, iPad, and Android mobile devices, the app features a database of more than 130,000 fuse and fuse block cross-reference part numbers where users can find replacements for old parts.
Bosch Rexroth has developed an eBook catalog series for engineers and OEM project managers on the go. Formatted for the iPad, Kindle, and Nook, it combines all current focused delivery program catalogs into a digital format, with added features such as embedded videos, touchscreen control, white papers, and links to online company resources. These apps give marketers a way to continuously promote products on-the-go and by using media that is immersive and visually striking.
Let us know what you think about these new marketing opportunities. What is the most effective way for your company to market its products? Does your company use new multimedia and social media platforms to promote its products? Do you see any drawbacks using these avenues? Please respond by e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Delivering First Class Communications With WebRTC
This webcast captures a recent discussion about WebRTC between Jim Donovan, Director of Product Management at Oracle and Larry Hettick, Editorial Director and Senior Research Fellow at Webtorials. The topics cover WebRTC reliability, interoperability, and security--looking at how Oracle addresses these issues.
WebRTC Podcasts
Oracle in Enterprise Communications
Most in the industry have heard of the acquisition of Acme Packet by Oracle. What you may not know is that Oracle has a number of telecommunications products including a UC suite, WebRTC Session Controller, and Operations monitoring tools. Oracle is pursuing both the enterprise and service provider.
Featured Whitepapers
ConnectCare & Unified Contact Manager
SPAN's ConnectCare is a WebRTC-based telemedicine app, which allows consumers to easily and instantly avail clinical healthcare from the providers, regardless of their location. This app is extremely useful to healthcare providers, patients and their caregivers alike.
WebRTC Security Concerns
This whitepaper covers two of the most relevant topics in communications industry today: WebRTC and security. We will introduce the problem of security in WebRTC including those traditional VoIP attacks that are going to be present in WebRTC services. Later we will mention ad-hoc WebRTC attacks and protection mechanisms, to close with an overview of identity management solutions.
Migrating Real Time Communications Services to the Web
In the Internet age, businesses that own fixed and mobile communication networks, including traditional Communications Service Providers (CSPs) of all kinds, are being challenged with some tough questions: How do we stay relevant to our customers?
Delivering Enterprise-Class Communications with WebRTC
WebRTC is an emerging industry standard for enabling Web browsers with real-time communications capabilities. It enables enterprises to enhance Web sites, empower BYOD users, and improve video collaboration and on-line meetings, to name but a few examples.
WebRTC Report Extract Reprint
This document examines the growing important of WebRTC, both generally and for telecom service providers. It considers the expanding range of use-cases, the multiple layers of interoperability likely to be desired by telcos, and some implications in terms of network integration and mobility.

September 16 - 17, 2014 • Thistle Marble Arch, London
Sept 30 - Oct 2, 2014 • Chicago
November 18 – 20, 2014 | San Jose Convention Center • San Jose, California
Robust Enterprise Grade WebRTC Systems and Services
The emerging WebRTC standard has become one of the industry's hottest topics – and with good reason. Being able to "communications enable the web" has Communications Service Providers as well as Enterprises busily making plans for deployment. But, as these plans unfold, reality is starting to intrude on those plans. Our expectations of telephony services are much higher than web browsing. We expect the phone to connect instantly, operate with minimal disruption, and work seamless across any network, anywhere, at any time. There is also an understanding that phone service is inherently secure. With WebRTC, the expectation is for these applications to behave in the same manner.
This session looks at the user experience and expectations of a WebRTC Enterprise service. It will also cover how a WebRTC enterprise handles security, reliability, and interoperability within browsers and networks.

The Oracle Communications WebRTC Session Controller enables communications service providers (CSPs) and enterprises to offer WebRTC services – from virtually any device, across virtually any network – with carrier-grade reliability and security.

- Summary
Communication Service Provider (CSP) voice service revenues continue to face pressure due to shifts in communication preferences and competition from non-traditional service providers. Voice communications are now often embedded into applications outside the domain of traditional telephony voice usage. CSPs have been challenged to effectively leverage and monetize new web-oriented communications technologies.

A sequel arrives for Valentine's Day with the unwieldy title Step Up 2 the Streets. If it performs as well, watch for "Step Up 3: the Sprained Ankle." show more
Claudia Puig USA Today
Step Up 2 is one long, clichéd exercise in predictability with a couple of vibrant dance sequences and some unintentionally hilarious bad acting. show more
Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News
Unabashedly earnest, completely predictable and packed with enough high-voltage dance scenes to make any audience applaud. show more
Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter
The wall-to-wall soundtrack naturally features plenty of today's leading hip-hop and R&B artists, including Flo Rida, T-Pain, Missy Elliott and Trey Songz. show more
Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune
Human-spirit cliches and all, the movie accomplishes job one: It moves. It also has a choice soundtrack, spiced by the likes of Missy Elliott's "Shake Your Pom Pom" and Digital Underground's immortal "Humpty Dance." show more
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
So when it comes to rawness, realness or any other signifier of urban authenticity, Step Up 2 The Streets doesn't measure up, especially when compared with a grittier dance flick still in theatres, the Toronto-made "How She Move." show more
Maitland McDonagh TV Guide
The stepping is terrific and the climactic sequence, a knowing nod to the infamous Bollywood "wet sari" number, is a knock out. But the united colors of we-can-overcome cuties, predictable class conflicts and sanitized keeping-it-real bluster bring the story's intensely formulaic nature into the. show more
Wesley Morris Boston Globe
The current, much better Canadian movie "How She Move" has a more realistic grip on the racial politics of hip-hop-dance. show more
James Berardinelli ReelViews
Much of the average viewer's time in the theater will be spent waiting somewhat impatiently for the high-energy climax. Catnaps are an advisable way to survive some of the slow spots. show more
Glenn Kenny Premiere
The reason for all this dull-to-offensive story stuff is, of course, the dancing, which has its moments but overall seems so calculated to impress that it loses all other reason for being. show more

I love the dancing and I love the music, but I have to say, other than that, this movie has nothing going for it. It has a ridiculously stupid storyline; same old sad song as always. Poor girl, broken family, dead mother, bla bla bla. The acting wasn't horrible, but I swear if I heard "the streets" one more time I was going to shoot myself. I get it, ok? I know she's some girl dancing in the oh so rough "streets", but man, do they have to keep saying "the streets" a million times throughout the movie?! I get it!!!!!!

I loved Step Up but Step Up 2 is so much better. I was never bored during a single minute of this movie. The dancing and acting was amazing. Love the actors. Great Story. Can't wait to see Step Up 3D.
