- Students Equipped With Latest Gadgets
According to the National Retail Federation, college students spend $8.2 billion on electronics to get them through the semester. Now these products have grown in sophistication, just like the students toting them.
With increasing class workloads and demanding social schedules, it makes sense that students have turned to mobile computing to help keep track of their hectic lives. Replacing piles of paper, reference books and Post-it notes with handhelds-such as the Palm TX with built-in Wi-Fi-keeps students organized and in sync when they are away from their dorm room. - Bank Of America Sponsors Landmark Exhibition In Boston And New York: Americans In Paris, 1860−1900; Show Features Masterpieces Of The 19th Century
This summer and fall, Americans will have the chance to see many late-19th-century masterpieces together for the first time in the U.S. presentation of Americans in Paris, 1860-1900. Sponsored by Bank of America in Boston and New York, this major exhibition of over 100 important paintings explores a time when American artists flocked to the French capital, lured by a life of art study, camaraderie and possible fame.
Americans in Paris will be on view at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston through Sept. 24 and at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art from Oct. 17 through Jan. 28, 2007. - Emergency Preparedness: Protecting Important Documents
Home is where people usually feel safe. However, when a hurricane, flood, tornado, wildfire or other disaster strikes, it's sometimes safest to pack up and go to another location.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, says that when it comes to preparing for situations like weather emergencies, financial readiness can be as important as a flashlight with fully charged batteries. The FTC offers these tips: - Government Web Site Helps Businesses
Businesses are getting a big hand from a government Web site that compiles federal compliance information into a one-stop resource. The Web site focuses on compliance information, federal forms and government compliance contacts. This saves businesses both time and money in locating information on tax, labor, environmental, immigration and other regulations.
Businesses can quickly search on Business.gov for compliance information by topic and industry, and for federal forms from all major U.S. federal agencies regulating or serving businesses. State and municipal compliance information is also being phased into the site. Business.gov is managed by the U.S. Small Business Administration in a partnership with 21 other federal agencies and is part of the President's Management Agenda. - New Signs Point To Better Bottom Line
Most customers make up their mind about a place before they even shop around. That's why first impressions-and the signage used to create them-are so important.
It's also why a number of retailers, as well as small- and mid-size businesses, now create their own signs in-house by using on-demand color signage printing. This solution lets companies improve their signage by continually updating it to match changes in inventory and customer needs. Plus, when compared to outsourced sign production, on-demand color signage printing eliminates waste, dramatically decreases lead time and can reduce signage costs by up to 75 percent, according to trade industry reports. - Helping Customers Find Your Business Online
Someone once said, "90 percent of success in life is just showing up."
But that's not necessarily true when it comes to using the Internet to help build a small business. As more people turn to the Internet to find out about all of the products and services they need, a new key to success has emerged: the ability to be found easily online. - The Next Big Thing In Housing: The "citizen Vacationer"
Connecting with neighbors and building a sense of community has become a top priority for homeowners across America.
In fact, lost in all the headlines over fortunes investors made in recent years playing the real-estate market is that, until not that long ago, homeowners were telling researchers that they were more concerned with living in "strong communities" than they were with even their houses' resale values. Now that same yearning appears to be catching on among a new class of homebuyers, as well: "citizen vacationers." - Learning How To Manage Government Contracts
Whether it's a matter of national defense, homeland security, agriculture, transportation or space exploration, the work of the government is increasingly being performed by outside contractors.
The federal government spends approximately $388 million on contracted goods and services every year, more than half of which is spent on services. - Private Jet Sweepstakes Takes Small Business Customers To New Heights
More than 25.8 million small businesses are operating in the United States today, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration, and every year more than 671,000 new companies open their doors. At the same time, nearly 544,800 companies close. It takes a good idea, a sound business plan and a lot of hard work to achieve lasting success in the small-business space.
Nevertheless, plenty of businesspeople are jumping in, eager for the big advantages that come with being small: independence and the agility and power to address customers' needs as soon as they arise. - Volunteering Is Good For You And Good For Business
Volunteering is not just good for individuals, it's good for businesses, too.
As more businesses recognize the importance and value of being socially responsible, corporate community involvement is on the rise. Many companies recognize that an official volunteer program not only enhances the company image, but strengthens teams, improves morale, and makes it easier to attract and retain employees.
