ROCHESTER, Mich. — A breakthrough survey conducted by Foresight Research quantifies the
automotive sales impact of print articles and print advertising. Then it
compares print articles and print advertising influence to other forms
of marketing communications used by auto buyers.
The study shows that the majority of vehicle buyers (62%) are influenced
to some degree by print articles, and 45% are influenced to some degree
by print advertising. 19% said print articles were a primary or secondary
purchase influence, and 8% reported that print advertising was a primary
or secondary influence.
“We also noted the influence by vehicle brand purchased and found that
BMW, Cadillac, Acura, Lexus, Infiniti, Hyundai and Mazda lead the brands
in terms of impact from print articles. Then we looked at the print
advertising side and many of the same brands appear. The reason is that
buyers are paying attention to both the articles and the ads,” says
Steve Bruyn, CEO of Foresight Research.
So, what are the most influential publications? Consumer Reports and
newspapers are widely influential but so are some of the automotive
publications like – Car and Driver, Motor Trend, Automobile Magazine,
Road and Track and Autoweek. “This study proves that print publications
still play a role in this electronic era,” stated Bruyn.

Most debates about lawyers professional responsibilities ultimately devolve into discussions of the “role” of lawyers-including the functions lawyers serve in the legal system, how lawyers should achieve those functions, and how lawyers should reconcile conflicts between competing interests that are potentially affected by their conduct. The notion of a lawyers role can be helpful for identifying principles of behavior. Thus, for example, whether attorney-client confidentiality is appropriate and whether exceptions should be acknowledged depends on the conception of lawyers from which one starts. If lawyers are to be clients sole and fully-allied champions, then strict confidentiality rules make sense. If lawyers are to be objective intermediaries between clients and society and have independent obligations to the law, exceptions seem more acceptable. The task of code drafters is facilitated when they can proceed from the assumption that a single paradigm governs the lawyers role-either a paradigm encapsulating a theory of behavior (how lawyers ordinarily act) or a paradigm encapsulating a normative ideal (how lawyers should act). When code drafters rely upon multiple paradigms (for example, lawyers should act as clients alter egos and as officers of the court), inconsistent regulatory mandates can result, and lawyers may become confused about their functions. The ABAs 1908 Canons of Ethics, which prevailed in most American jurisdictions throughout the early twentieth century, suffered from an emphasis on inconsistent ideals.1 The bar was in a state of disagreement about lawyers roles and lawyers had no point of reference for determining how to act.2 Therefore, when the ABA adopted the first concrete professional code in 1969,3 it became important for the drafters to identify an over-arching theory. By emphasizing the lawyers place in the adversarial system, the 1969 code served a forceful unifying and educational function.4 Nevertheless, an ethics codes overemphasis on a single paradigm can lead to undesirable results. It tends to produce idealized rules that either rest on counter-factual assumptions or impose obligations on lawyers that are so inconsistent with their personal incentives that violations become routine. In modern times, an exclusive focus on the adversarial ethic seems less important than in 1969 because lawyers have developed a shared sense of core obligations to clients and of the part lawyers play in the legal system. The recent history of lawyer regulation reflects a desire on the part of the bar to fine-tune the basic message of the 1969 code-to recognize more nuances than, perhaps, a single image of lawyers can accommodate.5 The task of drafting professional rules is complicated by the fact that the public perception of the bar is not unitary. Society views lawyers in many different, and sometimes inconsistent, ways. These multiple conceptions influence code drafters. In practice, the modern legal ethics codes incorporate a number of “images” of lawyers as bases, or catalysts, for disciplinary rules. Relying on these images has consequences for how the codes treat lawyers and, as a theoretical matter, for how the rules should be drafted. Part I of this Article identifies some of the different images of lawyers that exist6 and the ramifications of emphasizing each image in the professional codes. Initially at least, this Article takes no position on the accuracy of the images in describing lawyer behavior-for example, whether lawyers act in a selfinterested manner or whether lawyers feel bound by unenforceable professional norms. As a practical matter, each of the images has solid footing in some respects. That is to say, each is based on a valid characterization of how lawyers act in some situations. Part I will suggest, however, that relying upon multiple paradigms inevitably fosters schizophrenia on the part of the code drafters.

Abstract: Energy is vital to sustain every aspect of production. Substantial benefits could be gained, both economical and ecological, if energy consumption was decreased. To obtain this, consciousness about energy utilization in the manufacturing enterprise is critical. This paper describes practical verification of the enhanced model for energy consumption during machining, which integrates feature-based calculation of machining process energy utilization with activity-based energy estimation of operations performed by machine tool. Key words: environmentally conscious manufacturing, energy utilization Energy, as the one of the production system entry streams, is indispensable for transformation of semi-finished products or raw material into final products. Energy consumption is strictly connected with running production business. From entrepreneurs point of view one can appoint two aspects of energy consumption: the way of gaining the energy and the efficiency of energy utilization. Considering the facts that nowadays energy is gained from nonrenewable sources, which are limited, and global energy consumption is at increasing rate, energy prices have also constant upward tendency and cost of production maintenance is constantly growing. Due to limited range of operation in the area of selecting energy supplier, the only way for cutting down the energy cost is better utilization of energy during production activities.

Stories to be Shared During Life Settlement Awareness Month[TM] SAN DIEGO — For many high-net-worth seniors, cashing in unneeded or unwanted life-insurance policies via life settlements has been life-changing because they provide funds for investments, retirement plans or long-term care needs. Agents and brokers who have facilitated life-settlement transactions on behalf of these seniors have many stories regarding how life settlements have changed their clients lives - and Life Settlement Solutions wants to hear them.
SAN DIEGO — The state of Georgia recently enacted life-settlement provider licensing requirements, and Life Settlement Solutions Inc., one of the nations premier sources of life-settlement funding, was among the first life-settlement providers to receive a license under the law. Georgia issued Life Settlement Solutions viatical (life) settlement provider license Jan. 12, 2007. Life Settlement Solutions has done business in Georgia since 2003, prior to life-settlement transactions being regulated in that state. The state expanded its viatical settlement laws to include life settlements, effective Nov. 5, 2005. Prior to the enactment of the 2005 legislation, life-settlement companies were allowed to conduct business in the state without licensing requirements. The new law provided for a transitional provision that permitted life-settlement providers previously conducting life settlements in the state to continue doing so while their license applications were pending, so long as the application was filed within 30 days following the effective date of the act. Life Settlement Solutions application was filed within that 30-day period, so there has been no interruption with the firms ability to conduct business in Georgia. “In addition to application materials, biographical submissions by officers, background checks and a review of Life Settlement Solutions plan of operations, Georgia also utilized a field-examination process under which it retained an independent examination firm that conducted a field audit of Life Settlement Solutions business practices and a review of closed case files,” said Larry Simon, president and founder of Life Settlement Solutions. “Our unblemished regulatory and compliance track record speaks highly to our ability to obtain licensing in every life-settlement regulated state throughout the nation. We are very pleased to be among the first life-settlement companies to be granted licensing in Georgia.”

AUSTIN, Texas — MusicBrainz, a user-maintained music encyclopedia non-profit, and MusicIP, the first global music relationship engine, are proud to announce the launch of a partnership to share music identification and metadata. Built on the belief that music metadata is public domain information, MusicIPs Music Digital Naming Service(TM) (MusicDNS) is a simple, dependable, inexpensive way to identify digital music tracks and provide basic metadata. Through this partnership, the MusicDNS database of more than 16 million identified and analyzed tracks will grow significantly in conjunction with additional metadata information provided by the ongoing efforts of the MusicBrainz community. In exchange, MusicIP is providing MusicDNS at no cost to MusicBrainz, and for other non-profit projects that are based on the same core beliefs. “I am excited about MusicIP and MusicBrainz working together. This new partnership strengthens both of our offerings and extends the reach of the MusicBrainz project into the commercial world, while bringing MusicIP to the open source world,” said Robert Kaye, founder and lead developer of MusicBrainz. MusicBrainz is also supporting MusicIPs Open Fingerprint(TM) Architecture, which consistently and rigorously identifies the sounds in an audio file, regardless of variations in the digital-file details. The Open Fingerprint is designed to work successfully with all of the possible music in the world, and works seamlessly with MusicDNS to provide identification integrity. “In addition to the sharing of music identification and metadata, MusicIP is proud to be donating 10% of revenue from the delivery of MusicBrainz data via MusicDNS back to the MetaBrainz Foundation to support their continued efforts,” said Dr. Matthew Dunn, CEO of MusicIP. “Our partnership with MusicBrainz is our first step into the Open Source community, and were proud to be taking this step with such a respected partner in the industry.”

This Global Guide to Top-Notch Doctors Spotlights the Denver, Colorado Based Surgeon Specializing in VASER Hi Def Liposculpture Raving from the Tatler states, “Hes perfected an amazing technique where he can use your own fat to reshape your body. Now with his futuristic- sounding VASER LipoSelection, which was developed with Colombian cosmetic surgeon Dr. Alfredo Hoyos, Millard can reshape the body to near-super model status. Its based on the concept of superficial liposuction, which means he works close to the surface of the skin to artfully sculpt the torso rather than simply sucking out excess fat. It works equally well for women and men, and makes six-pack abs or a cinched waist a dream come true.” The VASER equipment used in Hi Def Liposculpture uses ultrasound technology to emulsify fat, which is then removed through a long, small needle in a more exact fashion, tracing the natural musculature. This procedure is spreading across the country, as more and more cosmetic surgeons incorporate it into their practice and gain training from Dr. Millard and Sound Surgical, the makers of VASER Hi Def.

The California Association for HPERD believes adapted physical education is one of the program options available to students with disabilities who are eligible for special education. Direct service Adapted Physical Education is provided by a credentialed Adapted Physical Education specialist to students who have needs that cannot be adequately addressed in other physical Education programs. In addition to Adapted Physical Education, other service delivery options include Adapted Physical Education collaboration and Adapted Physical Education consultation, specially designed physical education, modified physical education, and general physical education. Provision of Adapted Physical Education is based on the same process of referral, assessment, and individual program planning that other special education services follow. An assessment and evaluation of motor skills performance is considered by the Individualized Education Program team in determining provision of service. The individualized plan is developed through an assessment process that may include test administration, observation, record review, diagnostic teaching, and collection of information from other service providers, the student, and his/her family. Adapted Physical Education is an instructional program within the spectrum of physical education options taught by a credentialed Adapted Physical Education Specialist. The Adapted Physical Education Specialist provides curriculum-based and prescriptive instruction for individuals identified as eligible for services. Each specialist works within a comprehensive service delivery model which complies with legal mandates for educational service for individuals with disabilities. In addition, services may be supplemented through the collaborative model with a variety of team members (such as teachers, language speech specialists, psychologists, parents, occupational therapists and physical therapists, medical personnel, and others) to provide an integrated and consistent program for individuals with disabilities. The physical education curriculum includes, but is not limited to, basic locomotor patterns and skills, object control skills, rhythms and dance, aquatics, physical and motor fitness, and games. The unique and specific needs of individuals with disabilities may require accommodations and adaptive techniques or strategies to provide effective instruction in developmentally appropriate skills, functional skills, and age appropriate skills within the least restrictive environment. Instruction in Adapted Physical Education provides the foundation for learning and performing psychomotor skills, so that individuals with disabilities can more fully, safely, and with satisfaction participate in movement programs, recreation, sport, and physical fitness activities. The Adapted Physical Education Specialist teaches in all domains of learning with an emphasis on the psychomotor area. Instruction is provided in communication, cognition, social, behavioral, perceptual, and daily living domains, in addition to physical and motor skills. Student preferences and interests are considered in program planning, as well as coordination of services and resources.

DALLAS — “Software license compliance, audits and settlements are issues that have been facing enterprises around the country, and in the Houston-area, for many years. While Scott Scott understands the Business Software Alliances desire to protect the intellectual property rights of its software publisher members, the firm believes it is important to inform businesses about some of the questionable enforcement methods the organization uses and offer recommendations for reducing the risks of external software audits from the Business Software Alliance, the Software Information and Industry Association or software publishers. First, the Business Software Alliance aggressively markets to disgruntled employees, offering financial incentives to make anonymous tips against their employers. Reward payments to disgruntled employees can be substantial, often up to $200,000. In many instances, the informant is the same person responsible for software compliance at the company they are reporting. That fact, coupled with the promise not to disclose the informants name leads Scott Scott to believe that the Business Software Alliance is incentivizing non-compliance to generate revenue, and significantly damages the organizations credibility. Additionally, the organizations threatening communications are a method of intimidating well-meaning companies, who often do not have the resources necessary to invest in costly compliance programs. Further, the software industry has failed to adopt standard naming conventions or product codes that can record software titles at the time of installation, making the asset discovery process extremely difficult to automate. This creates an enormous financial and personnel burden for companies that intend to purchase the appropriate amount of software, but cannot easily reconcile the software on their networks with what was purchased, and therefore need to create dedicated software asset management departments to conduct this effort manually. Finally, the Business Software Alliance has done nothing to simplify or standardize the license agreements of its member companies, which are all unique, lengthy and complex. This leaves the onus of compliance entirely on software customers - the very customers that the software publishers actively pursued to generate revenue. Scott Scott recommends companies in Houston and around the country implement the following procedures into their business practices:

Mountain Lake Resources Inc. (TSX-V: MOA)
(”Mountain Lake” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that Etruscan
Diamonds (Pty) Ltd. (”Etruscan Diamonds”) has completed the acquisition
from Mvelaphanda Exploration (Pty) Ltd. (”Mvelaphanda Exploration”) of a
50% interest in the Tirisano Diamond Mine located in the Ventersdorp

principle with Mogopa Minerals (Pty) Ltd. (”Mogopa”) to transfer a 26%
interest in the Tirisano Diamond Mine to Mogopa in consideration for the
payment of R26 million. Mogopa will replace Mvelaphanda Exploration as the
entity providing the black economic empowerment for the Tirisano project as
required by South African mineral legislation. Mogopa is also Etruscan
Diamonds Black Economic Empowerment partner on the Hartbeestlaagte and
Zwartrand properties in which it already owns a 26% interest. Mogopa has
accepted an indicative term sheet from the Industrial Development
Corporation of South Africa Limited (”IDC”) to finance Mogopas acquisition
of the 26% interest in the Tirisano Mine Joint Venture. Etruscan Diamonds
has also accepted an indicative term sheet from the IDC to provide an
additional R25 million to fund additional working capital requirements to
reactivate the Tirisano Mine. These financings have been approved by the

After two years of sometimes bitter fighting between city leaders and residents, the Concord City Council approved rules Monday night to allow people to park RVs and boats in their driveways. But people can do it only as long as they live in their current homes, and only if they pay a one-time $80 fee for a special permit sometime in the next 12 months. If those residents find a new home in Concord, the RVs have to be stored in a side yard, in the back yard or elsewhere. And their former property can no longer host RVs in a visible place. When someone new moves into a Concord house, that person will have to store an RVs in a side yard, back yard or elsewhere. This has been a major issue in Concord, turning into an impassioned struggle pitting those who believe the government shouldnt be able to tell them what they can do with their property against those who say too many RVs in front of homes cause blight. The effort will cost the city $175,000 for extra staffing during the first year, and a little less after that. There will be no enforcement during the first year — only an educational campaign and permit gathering. City staff members will start ticketing violators in the second year.

Paint your house before you plant your landscape. Every neighborhood has one house that stands out like a sore thumb. You know, the one on the corner thats painted blue and has pea green shutters. The paint colors just scream ugly. Be sure to be sweet to thy neighbor and paint or stain your home in nice colors that suit your house and are in keeping with the neighborhood. The Blackstocks painted their house right after they moved in. The new paint began to peel in less than a year. Layers and layers of old paint on top of cedar shingles were beginning to cause problems; the shingles needed to be stripped. Each one was sanded to remove the old paint and expose the cedar. This was a messy project that would have destroyed a nice landscape, so it was one of the first jobs to be completed. After the cleaning, instead of repainting the house and covering the exposed cedar shingles, they used a translucent stain to allow the wood grain to show through. They chose a white stain because it gave the wood a pickled look. Joel and Laura spent a lot of time and put a lot of thought in selecting the right stain. Their advice: Drive around several neighborhoods and look at other houses and see what colors and combinations appeal to you. Then go to a home-improvement center and pick up a handful of small paint and stain samples. See what looks good on your house and on your shutters and trim.

Film cameras still vastly outnumber digital cameras - film cameras can be found in over 90% of U.S. households, while digital cameras are in less than 10%. Furthermore, single-use film cameras, which are not included in these figures, are a popular camera solution that will continue to drive film usage. Most of todays digital camera sales are supplementary to film cameras, but there is growing evidence that the replacement market is beginning. By 2005, film camera sales are expected to be in gradual decline, excluding single-use cameras. Many new developments will make digital cameras a viable replacement for film cameras: comparable image quality, affordability, and availability of photofinishing services for digital images. Beyond these advancements, digital cameras offer many additional attractive benefits, such as immediate photo review, simple sharing over the Internet, and the ability to take pictures at virtually no cost-per-frame, printing only those that are worth printing. “We are on the threshold of entering an era of personal visual communication,” says Michelle Lampmann, market research analyst, InfoTrends Research Group, Inc. “Already, the most popular use of digital photos is sharing them via the Internet, either through email or on Web sites. Digital photos are becoming the most shared personal content on the Internet, following email.” With this evolution of personal communication on the horizon, digital camera manufacturers are expected to take a more aggressive approach to marketing and promotion. Additionally, vendors will develop digital camera devices that go beyond traditional point shoot cameras, such as digital camera attachments for PDAs and cell phones. Sony, Olympus and Kodak are the digital camera market leaders, capturing a combined share of nearly 60% of the point shoot digital camera market. This year there could be a greater shake-up of vendors unit share, as sub-$200, non-toy digital camera sales exceed 2.2 million units. As a result, vendors revenue share will become a more critical benchmark. Sony is the digital camera market revenue leader with 35-40% revenue share. The new report, “2000 Low End Digital Camera Forecast North America,” covers major trends in the digital camera market, and includes a five-year market forecast for digital camera device unit shipments, revenues, and vendor market share. This forecast projects digital camera sales by price segment and market segment. The forecast also analyzes resolution trends and vendors market share by price segment. The digital camera market segments include toy cameras, digital camera attachments, entry-level, and point shoot cameras. The report is available immediately in hard copy or electronic format.
Business Editors/High-Tech Writers InfoTrends Research Groups latest forecast of consumer digital cameras in North America shows that unit sales of digital cameras will have nearly replaced sales of reloadable film cameras, not including single-use cameras, by 2008. Most consumers will purchase digital cameras rather than reloadable film cameras in 2008, because consumer photographic services will center on the digital camera customer, and consumers image capture needs will be met by digital cameras. Additionally, within the five-year forecast, digital camera vendors are expected to deliver sub-$1,000 amateur digital SLRs that support interchangeable lenses, which will also cut into film camera sales. While single-use film cameras will remain popular, single-use digital cameras will be entering the market as well. “The consumer digital camera market has made steady progress since the first models were introduced in the mid-90s, but the consumer photographic industry is just beginning to feel the impact of the transition to digital,” said Michelle Slaughter, director of InfoTrends Digital Photography Trends service. “The shift to digital photography will be nearly complete by 2008 due to advancing consumer adoption of a wide range of consumer digital imaging solutions, including home photo printing, retail digital photofinishing services, online photo services, TV-based imaging products and services, and wireless imaging.” Digital camera unit sales are forecast to reach 14.3 million units in 2003. Three-megapixel models are expected to capture nearly 50% of unit sales, as they become the new entry-level resolution for consumer digital cameras due to low starting price points and a broad product selection.

This Market Review examines the UK insurance market and the industry that provides it with insurance products. The market was worth an estimated PS175.32bn in 2006 - a 20.5% increase on the figure for 2005. There are two broad sectors in the insurance market: long-term insurance and general insurance. Long-term insurance covers: life insurance; pensions; annuities; income-protection insurance; and critical-illness insurance. General insurance covers: motor insurance; property insurance; accident and health insurance; general liability insurance; and pecuniary-loss insurance. Long-term insurance now accounts for the majority of the UK insurance market by value, and its share of the market is increasing. The insurance industry is, in many ways, in better form than it was in 2003 and 2004. Sales of long-term insurance increased strongly in 2005 and 2006. However, competition across the market as a whole is intense, and this is hampering the efforts of insurance companies to increase premium rates. The industry is also facing many challenges. These include: a more sophisticated customer base; online purchasing and trading; increased volumes of information to manage and digest; higher claims; rising costs; greater regulation; and new accounting standards. New EU directives, new legislation and a stream of new case law are also having to be taken on board. Looking ahead to 2012, there will be a new pensions framework, to which the industry will have to respond.
