                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Fort Myers FL (PRWEB) July 15, 2008 -- Reliabilityweb.com, an online community of maintenance and reliability professionals and the organizer of PdM-2008 Predictive Maintenance Technology Conference, announced today that early registrations for the September conference are exceeding the pace of all previous years and that another sold-out event is expected.  



According to conference organizer and reliability expert Terrence O&#039;Hanlon, CMRP, &quot;Some companies are waking up to the incredible value that can be delivered through proactive maintenance programs while the laggard companies are still focused on &quot;cost cutting&quot; their way to profitability. PdM-2008 includes training workshops and case studies that provide a roadmap that attendees can use to put their company in the top 20% performance category.  Earnings per share are directly affected by maintenance and reliability practices for each asset intensive company.&quot; 

O&#039;Hanlon stated that Reliabilityweb.com research shows that the top performing 20% share three common traits:
&#8226;	A senior level executive is directly responsible for plant asset maintenance and reliability 
&#8226;	Proactive strategies such as predictive condition based maintenance and reliability-centered maintenance have largely replaced reactive and time based maintenance strategies
&#8226;	Use of advanced technologies to monitor and report leading key performance indicators (KPIs) across the enterprise with all stakeholders in real time

&quot;Senior executives who may not fully understand predictive maintenance technologies like Vibration Analysis, Infrared Thermography, Ultrasonic Detection, Motor Testing or Oil Analysis can relate to the way a modern doctor performs diagnostic tests using stethoscopes, thermometers, blood tests and EKG&#039;s on a patient to determine overall health.   When you have millions of dollars deployed in manufacturing assets, you must be able to know the plant asset health condition at all times.  Predictive Maintenance (PdM) technologies deliver on that promise&quot; continued O&#039;Hanlon.

&quot;With the US Dollar at a historic low against currencies like the Euro, management can no longer keep their heads in the sand about available maintenance strategies,&#039; urged O&#039;Hanlon, &quot;We have seen the affect of &quot;reactive&quot; and &quot;fire fighter&quot; maintenance as some our largest US companies fall into the hands of overseas competitors who use proactive technology to increase production and uptime while lowering overall operating costs.&quot; 

The Predictive Maintenance Conference is being held September 15-18 at the Qwest Center in Omaha Nebraska, the same location as the recent US Olympic swimming trials.

It has developed a reputation as &quot;the place to be&quot; for maintenance and reliability professionals seeking an opportunity to begin or restart an effective predictive maintenance and machinery condition monitoring program.  Workshop and conference seats are still available.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) October 3, 2007 -- The military-to-civilian recruiting firm RecruitMilitary has announced a 2008  schedule of 104 free career fairs for America&#039;s military veterans, military spouses, and other men and women with military backgrounds. The events will take place in 44 cities nationwide, from Boston to San Diego and from Miami to Seattle. 



The 2008 schedule represents the second consecutive year of triple-digit growth in RecruitMilitary Career Fairs--the company produced 13 events in 2006 and has 45 events on its 2007 schedule. As in 2007, RecruitMilitary will produce the 2008 events in cooperation with HireVetsFirst, a unit of the United States Department of Labor, and The American Legion.  More than 800 different companies have attended RecruitMilitary Career Fairs this year; many employers attend more than one event.

RecruitMilitary Career Fairs are open--and free--to veterans who already have civilian work experience, men and women who are transitioning from active duty to civilian life, members of the National Guard and reserves, and military spouses. At a typical event, more than 400 job seekers participate in one-on-one interviews with representatives of over 30 veteran-friendly organizations, including corporate employers, law-enforcement agencies and other government employers, educational institutions, veterans service agencies, and veterans associations. 

&quot;The level of support we have received from employers and other veteran-friendly organizations the past two years has just been overwhelming,&quot; said Drew Myers, President of RecruitMilitary and a former Captain in the Marine Corps. &quot;Employers understand and appreciate everything we do to bring out high-quality job seekers--bright, attentive men and women with the skills and training that Corporate America wants and needs; candidates who show up well-prepared, well-dressed, and eager to interview.&quot; RecruitMilitary leverages its own database of more than 175,000 registered job seekers and data from other sources, inviting carefully targeted candidates to individual events. 

&quot;We also select the locations of our events carefully,&quot; said Myers. &quot;We look at the demographics of the regional veteran population, the proximity of military bases, the size of the general population, and several other factors. Then, within the selected locations, we select unique venues to boost candidate interest and promote coverage by the news media.&quot; RecruitMilitary produces its events in such venues as sports stadiums and arenas, automobile and horse racetracks, and museums. For example, two events yet to be produced in 2007 will take place on board decommissioned warships that have become floating museums--the battleship New Jersey, which is docked on the Delaware River across from Philadelphia; and the aircraft carrier Hornet, moored at Alameda Point in San Francisco Bay. 

&quot;Our  candidates, our venues, our high level of customer service, and our pricing make RecruitMilitary Career Fairs an essential hiring tool for employers that want the skills and training, character, diversity, and--in many cases--the security clearances that veterans can provide,&quot; said Larry Slagel, Senior Vice President, RecruitMilitary Career Fairs and a former Captain in the Marines.   

RecruitMilitary, based in Cincinnati, connects employers with job seekers who have military backgrounds. All of the company&#039;s owners, officers, account executives, and recruiters are either veterans or active or former reservists. In addition to participation in career fairs, RecruitMilitary offers subscriptions to its database of registered job...

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Atlanta, GA (PRWeb) April 11, 2007 -- Cadence Group, an information and records management services firm based in Atlanta, is pleased to announce that it has been selected by The Special Libraries Association (SLA) to present a session at the SLA 2007 Annual Conference on June 3-6 in Denver, Colorado. The conference creates an environment for networking, communication, learning and other developmental opportunities for information professionals. 

SLA selected Cadence Group from over 50 submissions to present a session on &quot;The Lost Art of Interviewing: How to Hire Without Regret.&quot; Julie Schein, vice president, and Belinda DeLisser, director of recruiting, for Cadence Group will make the presentation based on their research and experience in helping librarians understand how to hire staff that can be an asset in an information environment. 

This session is based on the premise that interviewing and hiring library staff is an as-needed function and receives little training attention. Thus, many librarians are unfamiliar with basic interview techniques. Librarians need to be able to effectively interview candidates about their library-related skills and also need tools to help applicants demonstrate what they know. This presentation will guide the audience through sample interview scenarios, provide lists of questions to ask and not ask, and present information on testing for library specific skills.

&quot;We are excited to participate in the SLA Annual Conference,&quot; stated Cadence Group President and CEO, Tina Baker. &quot;Julie has her Masters in Library Science and has worked as a professional librarian in special libraries for more than 20 years. She has a wealth of knowledge and practical experience to share with others.  Julie combines her expertise with Belinda, who has exceptional recruiting skills and has elevated our recruiting process for librarians, records managers, and other information professionals to another level since she stepped into the leadership role.&quot;

For more than 15 years, special libraries in law firms, corporations and government agencies have used Cadence Group&#039;s library services for assessments, library automation, reference/research work, cataloging, abstracting and indexing, training, and when needed, complete library management. Other organizations have used In-fort&#233;, Cadence Group&#039;s enterprise virtual library solution to save money by aggregating content purchases, then organizing and distributing qualified information to target audiences. &quot;In addition to saving the company money, we were able to acquire research data that was both more comprehensive and actionable than the other alternative we had considered,&quot; stated the manager of market research and customer intelligence for a Fortune 100 telecommunications company.

                        <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Atlanta, GA (PRWeb) April 11, 2007 -- Cadence Group, an information and records management services firm based in Atlanta, is pleased to announce that it has been selected by The Special Libraries Association (SLA) to present a session at the SLA 2007 Annual Conference on June 3-6 in Denver, Colorado. The conference creates an environment for networking, communication, learning and other developmental opportunities for information professionals. 

SLA selected Cadence Group from over 50 submissions to present a session on &quot;The Lost Art of Interviewing: How to Hire Without Regret.&quot; Julie Schein, vice president, and Belinda DeLisser, director of recruiting, for Cadence Group will make the presentation based on their research and experience in helping librarians understand how to hire staff that can be an asset in an information environment. 

This session is based on the premise that interviewing and hiring library staff is an as-needed function and receives little training attention. Thus, many librarians are unfamiliar with basic interview techniques. Librarians need to be able to effectively interview candidates about their library-related skills and also need tools to help applicants demonstrate what they know. This presentation will guide the audience through sample interview scenarios, provide lists of questions to ask and not ask, and present information on testing for library specific skills.

&quot;We are excited to participate in the SLA Annual Conference,&quot; stated Cadence Group President and CEO, Tina Baker. &quot;Julie has her Masters in Library Science and has worked as a professional librarian in special libraries for more than 20 years. She has a wealth of knowledge and practical experience to share with others.  Julie combines her expertise with Belinda, who has exceptional recruiting skills and has elevated our recruiting process for librarians, records managers, and other information professionals to another level since she stepped into the leadership role.&quot;

For more than 15 years, special libraries in law firms, corporations and government agencies have used Cadence Group&#039;s library services for assessments, library automation, reference/research work, cataloging, abstracting and indexing, training, and when needed, complete library management. Other organizations have used In-fort&#233;, Cadence Group&#039;s enterprise virtual library solution to save money by aggregating content purchases, then organizing and distributing qualified information to target audiences. &quot;In addition to saving the company money, we were able to acquire research data that was both more comprehensive and actionable than the other alternative we had considered,&quot; stated the manager of market research and customer intelligence for a Fortune 100 telecommunications company.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Fort Myers, FL (PRWeb) January 29, 2007 -- Reliabilityweb.com, an online community of over 50,000 maintenance and reliability professionals, recently partnered with the Aberdeen Group to encourage members to participate in a study titled &quot;Collaborative Asset Management Strategies&quot;.

Aberdeen&#039;s analysts and researchers Mark Vigoroso and Michael Israel have uncovered significant characteristics of &quot;best practice&quot; companies.  According to the recently issued report these &quot;organizations reap substantially larger benefits from improved maintenance practices than do average and laggard establishments, including:

&#8226;	Significantly improved asset reliability,

&#8226;	Greater asset uptime and availability,

&#8226;	Lower costs of servicing assets,

&#8226;	Fewer unexpected downtimes and outages, and

&#8226;	A higher return on invested capital.&quot;

According to Reliabilityweb.com Publisher, Terrence O&#039;Hanlon, CMRP &quot;This report validates our position that companies need Reliability Centered Maintenance as an advanced maintenance strategy and Enterprise Asset Management or Enterprise Analytic software to manage maintenance.  Many companies are stuck in a reactive mode as they struggle with aging assets, increasing costs, fewer skilled workers and increased competitive pressures.  Creating operation excellence through effective physical asset management is proven to &quot;pay off&quot; for companies that have blazed the trail.  Reactive maintenance and a lack of strategy is a losing proposition.&quot;

Reliabilityweb.com events showcase best practice companies at conferences like RCM-2007 - The Reliability Centered Maintenance Managers&#039; Forum and EAM-2007 - The Enterprise Asset Management Summit which take place at the Sheraton Waikiki in Honolulu Hawaii from April 3-6, 2007.

&quot;We appreciate the response from the maintenance and reliability professional community by selling out this event last year and encouraging us to meet in place to attract a larger international audience. Maintenance and reliability professionals appreciate the difference a practitioner facing organization can deliver&quot; states event organizer and Publisher Terrence O&#039;Hanlon. &quot;Physical Asset Management is the last untapped bastion of corporate productivity and shareholder value.  Equipment reliability is the key that will allow &quot;best practice&quot; companies to outpace competitors who are late adopters or laggards.&quot;

Reliability Centered Maintenance is a strategy to ensure production and process equipment reliability by determining the &quot;right&quot; maintenance work to perform.  Enterprise Asset Management is the tool to ensure that that work and material are managed as effectively as accounting transactions.  Together these strategies and technologies propel asset management for 21st century leaders. 

Attendance at all Reliabilityweb.com events is limited to ensure the best possible experience and interaction.  Early registration is encouraged through discounts and the fact that 2006 events sold out.

It has previously been published in MIT&#039;s Technology Review and in BusinessWeek. The Wall Street Journal will provide an overview of a different industry each week including automotive, semiconductors, information technology, aerospace &#38; defense, and pharmaceuticals. 

&quot;Patent portfolios are now a well-defined asset class and a highly-valued strategic resource,&quot; said Christopher Ainsley, President and CEO of The Patent Board.  &quot;As businesses focus more and more on protecting and leveraging these assets, we are pleased to partner with the country&#039;s leading business publication to help readers understand the value and importance of patents.&quot;  
 
&quot;We are excited to offer our readers a unique rating approach that translates a company&#039;s intellectual property into standard financial metrics,&quot; said Gillian Shapiro-Dobbis, Deputy Director, Dow Jones Market Data Group at The Wall Street Journal. &quot;As part of our redesign we are increasing our focus on what the news means, not just what happened, and the new Patent Scorecard feature is a great example of data that helps interpret the news.&quot;

&quot;Industry and agency leaders should seize on the opportunity of a new Congress to make a difference in the way things work going forward,&quot; said Bruce McConnell, Government Future&#039;s president. &quot;There are many useful and needed changes that would make good use of the reform energy that brought this Congress to Washington.&quot;

The conclusion is contained in Government Future&#039;s latest <a href="http://www.governmentfutures.com/feature.html?campaign=PRWebCongress11.16.2006" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="See the Future">See the Future</a> analysis, &quot;The 110th Congress: Not for the Faint of Heart.&quot;  Based on the opinions of more than 100 government and industry leaders collected through surveys, collective intelligence polls, and interviews, the report anticipates the priorities of the new Congress that are of interest to the federal information, technology, and professional services community.

The report warns that the incoming Congress, in its zeal to correct perceived ethics and contracting abuses, could create the unintended consequence of harming the ability of federal agencies to perform their missions. Without concerted action, the Congressional oversight environment will cause agencies and their industry partners to &quot;hunker down&quot;, slowing future investments and hampering mission performance.

Government Futures recommends a strategy of advocating changes in policy that would streamline cross-agency collaboration, promote commercial buying practices, and create results-based incentives for public-private partnerships.

By asserting that the new Congress actually presents an opportunity to make essential advances in government buying and management practices, the report is contrarian to other, more pessimistic analyses.

The Draganflyer&#039;s self leveling feature and anti-vibration camera system, which produces high quality video, makes it a viable alternative to a full sized helicopter.



Aerial video is in demand for purposes such as surveying, real estate marketing, and inspection of hard to reach or dangerous locations. Due to the expense, noise, and scheduling problems associated with a full sized helicopter, aerial video was not always an option. Prior to the Draganflyer SAVS, mounting a video camera on a miniature RC helicopter would result in a shaky video, and would still require hiring a skilled pilot to control it.

The self leveling feature, referred to as Thermal Intelligence (Ti), works by using four infrared sensors which rely on the temperature difference between the sky and ground. Using input from these sensors, the on-board CPU automatically returns the helicopter to level when the control stick is released. It will stay level until the pilot inputs a pitch or roll command. This makes the RC helicopter easy to fly, and makes professional quality aerial video available to everyone at a low cost.

The Draganflyer SAVS helicopter&#039;s high quality video is possible because of the <a href="http://www.rctoys.com/rc-toys-and-parts/DF-SAVS/RC-HELICOPTERS-DRAGANFLYER-SAVS.html" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="anti-vibration video camera">anti-vibration video camera</a> mount which isolates the camera from any vibration present in the rest of the helicopter. The onboard wireless 2.4GHz CCD camera transmits live video to a ground base station, and uses advanced circuitry featuring several filters and independent regulated power supplies to preserve the clarity of the video signal. The base station features a Diversity video receiver which dynamically chooses the best signal in real time.

Other technology used in the Draganflyer SAVS includes three piezo-gyros (similar to those used on cruise missiles) which aid in stabilization, lithium-polymer batteries which allow flight times up to 15 minutes, and a rugged carbon fiber and nylon frame. The Draganflyer SAVS weighs in at only 19 ounces and measures 30 inches, and comes completely assembled in a custom built hard case including everything needed to fly.

Inevitably, helicopters crash, but the Draganflyer&#039;s carbon-fiber and nylon construction provides excellent durability. The Draganflyer SAVS requires no time-consuming setup. The Draganflyer&#039;s sophisticated design eliminates the need for 95% of the parts required by conventional remote control helicopters. A flight simulator and DVD with complete footage of assembly and training are included.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Washington DC (PRWEB) October 27, 2006 -- <a href="http://www.governmentfutures.com/?campaign=PRWebLaunch10.27.06" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="Government Futures">Government Futures</a>, LLC, a new Web 2.0 company for the government sector, today announced its entrance into the federal market and released its first <a href="http://www.governmentfutures.com/feature.html?campaign=PRWebLaunch10.27.06" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="See the Future">See the Future</a> report.  Entitled &quot;Government 2.0: Are you Ready?&quot;, the report foresees a 10 to 25% drop in the federal government information technology budget in the next 36 months.  Other changes highlighted in the report include a shift in buying power from CIOs to program and mission owners, and a substantial transfer of project risk to the private sector.  

Government Futures uses a collective intelligence approach in a Web 2.0 environment to deliver unexpected, actionable insight that enables industry and government stakeholders to anticipate and shape change.  Collective Intelligence emerges from collaboration and debate among independently-deciding individuals, and can produce more accurate insights than a handful of experts. A Web 2.0 environment enables participation and community, and encourages users to add value to the information as they use it.

&quot;We formed Government Futures to help government and industry anticipate the <a href="http://www.governmentfutures.com/vision.html?campaign=PRWebLaunch10.27.06" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="federal business environment">federal business environment</a> three-to-five years out, and to enable better decisions today to shape that future,&quot; said Bruce McConnell, president of Government Futures. &quot;We see two trends converging: big changes in how the public sector works with and spends in the private sector, and new Web 2.0 methods of collective intelligence to help us see over the horizon.  Government Futures is aimed at the spot, in Wayne Gretzky&#039;s words, &#039;where the puck is going to be&#039; -- at these trends&#039; convergence.&quot;

McConnell noted the company will generate revenue from the sale of research reports, public and private events to translate the story-behind-the-story, consulting, and web-based services.

Government Futures is providing an on-line Open Space to a growing community of government and industry thought-leaders. This collective intelligence environment -- &#8212;surveys, forums, wikis, prediction markets, and the perspective of seasoned advisers -- enables the creation and sharing of information and ideas around community-generated topics. These lead to actionable trend forecasts that are the foundation of its See the Future series and consulting for organizations wanting customized insight.

Industry Endorsements
&quot;Gaining longer term perspective on the government marketplace using the proven tools of collective intelligence with government and industry thought leaders is an empowering new resource for companies dealing with the largest IT customer in the world,&quot;  said Harris Miller, industry guru and former president of the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA).  

&quot;Change is coming to this market faster than ever.  The successful companies will be those that recognize this and anticipate how change will impact their customers. Government Futures is a key new asset for these forward-thinking companies,&quot; said Jim Kane, President and CEO of the Systems and Software Consortium (SSCI).

The quality of the Spectralux Translator and the overall installation is the best that one can get in this industry.

Additionally, it&#8217;s FAA approved and ready to be installed right now.&#8221;

                        <description>Wide speculation about the future of Delta Air Lines, if it does not emerge from bankruptcy, has focused on a merger with another trunk carrier. Instead, Harry L. Nolan, Jr, author of the acclaimed book, &quot;Airline Without A Pilot - Lessons in Leadership&quot; predicts that AirTran is the likely candidate to buy the Delta brand name and selected pieces of the company.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) April 10, 2006 -- Delta continues its struggle to survive bankruptcy and restore its financial health according to Harry Nolan, author of acclaimed book, &quot;Airline Without A Pilot - Lessons in Leadership.&quot; The book documents Delta&#039;s success, decline and path to bankruptcy.



Delta lost $500 million in the first two months of 2006, although the loss was less than the comparable 2005 period. Delta&#039;s cumulative losses since January 1, 2001 have been $12.8 billion, including an airline industry record loss of $5.2 billion in 2004.

Author Nolan, a strategy and leadership consultant, says, &quot;I hope Delta survives, but they are in an increasingly precarious position. The immediate threat of a flight attendant strike at subsidiary Comair and a pilot strike at Delta have the potential to be a tipping point for the company.&quot;

A key component of Delta&#039;s survival strategy is earning a greater share of revenues from more profitable international flights while cutting less lucrative domestic flights. However, most other trunk carriers are following the same strategy, setting the stage for future price competition internationally that is as intense as ongoing domestic price competition. Nolan believes that it is also not a matter of if, but when, there will be significant low-cost carrier competition on international routes. As a result, while Delta&#039;s international strategy may temporarily help lessen its financial crisis, it is not likely to be a viable long-term strategy for survival.

Should Delta not survive as an independent carrier, Nolan believes AirTran is the likely competitor to pick up the most desirable pieces of Delta - particularly its brand name. &quot;While the Delta name is tarnished, it still has a value. AirTran could build on a combination of its proven ability to make a profit with the Delta tradition of service to take their company to a higher level quickly.&quot;

AirTran is no stranger to acquiring a company for its name. The former ValuJet acquired Orlando-based AirTran and immediately changed their original brand name to that of the acquired company.

AirTran&#039;s major operations are based in Atlanta. As a result, they have existing infrastructure that would enable them to begin assimilating quickly any gates and routes acquired from Delta along with selected aircraft.

Just as Delta was able to acquire Pan Am aircraft after Pan Am ended, AirTran would be in a position to acquire selectively Delta aircraft that would complement their existing fleet of modern equipment.
