Cision, the leading provider of media research, distribution, monitoring and analysis services to the public relations industry and other communicators, today announced that U-Haul International, Inc., has selected the award-winning CisionPoint integrated PR workflow solution as its communication management platform.
U-Haul – the world’s preeminent renter of trucks, trailers, self-storage rooms and other equipment to do-it-yourself movers – has a network of more than 15,800 locations in all 50 American states and ten Canadian provinces.
It’s also the largest installer of permanent trailer hitches in the automotive aftermarket industry, one of the top propane retailers in the U.S., and a supplier of alternative fuel for vehicles and backyard barbecues.
With a footprint as large as that, U-Haul receives up to 200 stories or mentions a day in print and online media. Its Phoenix-based staff is responsible for proactive media relations, responding to inbound inquiries, supervising the company’s philanthropy program, and the promotion of its SuperGraphics program.
But monitoring news coverage of U-Haul is perhaps its most critical function.
“We’re a relatively small department, with three people on staff,” said Joanne Fried, director of U-Haul media and public relations.
“Monitoring is extremely important for us, more so perhaps than for other companies. We monitor coverage in the classic PR sense, to understand what’s being said about us, but we also rely on it to respond to incidents involving our equipment.”
U-Haul began using CisionPoint in 2009, after switching their monitoring service from another provider.
The company began by using CisionPoint’s Online and Print Monitoring services, which monitor hundreds of thousands of print publications and online outlets. It plans to extend its use of CisionPoint in the coming weeks.
“We’re very happy with CisionPoint,” Ms. Fried said.
“Its drill-down capability, which lets you read an entire article by clicking a mouse, is very user friendly. We’re looking forward to taking advantage of its reporting capabilities down the road.”

When I saw the Lenovo’s Android-based 3.7-inch touchscreen Lephone last week I was all smleh’ed. “Yet another touchscreen Android”, I thought. Now, looking at the shiny marketing shots, I want to lick it, pant it, and rub it all day.
It seems to me that, it has more personality than the Nexus One superphone. I like how the keyboard attachment looks too, although I don’t see myself using it. No announcement about its potential worldwide introduction yet. For now, it’s China only. [Slashgear]

Using precise torque limitation, torque limiting clutches ensure that the loads on parts in machines and systems do not exceed the permitted values. Up to now, torque limiting clutches have required an external limit switch with a cable to transmit a signal to the control system on overload. The EAS®-Sensor developed by mayr® power transmission, a torque limiting clutch with an integrated signal transmitter, sends the overload signal via radio. This revolutionary and absolutely reliable overload recording system has substantial advantages in comparison to standard signal transmission devices.
On the new EAS®-Sensor, the limit switch is directly integrated into the clutch. It registers the clutch disengagement movement on overload and transmits a wireless signal via radio to a base station which is combined with the machine control system. The EAS®-Sensor is adjusted at the site of manufacture ready for operation. Assembly and adjustment work is no longer required. The overload recording is absolutely reliable. Vibrations and axial clutch misalignments – for example should the shaft heat up and expand – have no influence on functional safety.
The transmitter on the new system is completely located, including its power supply, in the torque adjusting nut on the tried and tested EAS®-Compact® torque limiting clutch. It reports to the base station in regular, brief intervals via a status telegramme the clutch operating condition and transfers information on the level of the supply voltage. A drop in voltage actuates a warning signal in good time, so that the transmitter battery can be replaced. For this, the clutch need not be deinstalled.
The development of the new EAS®-Sensor has made the signal transmission on mechanical torque limiting clutches far safer and has substantially simplified the installation of torque limiting overload protection systems. By integrating the transmitter into the tried and tested EAS®-Compact® clutch, the system has secure signal transmission as well as, of course, all the other quality features constituted in a modern, reliable torque limiting clutch. These include high torsional rigidity, backlash-free function, swift reductions in torque on reaching overload, high accuracy of the adjustable torque, long lifetimes and low lifecycle costs. Torque limiting clutches in the construction series EAS®-Compact® fulfil these criteria perfectly.

Hi all
I’m a type 2 insulin dependant diabetic for about 9 years. My mom,dad, 1 of my sis takes insulin. The other sis is diet controlled. My grandma was a diabetic and my uncle also is. My mom is on dialysis- so that is my history.
I went to the urgent clinic last week for an unrelated illness and had a U/A done. It came back as >1000m with also an abnormal value of 4 for the UBG (urinologubulin?) test- something to do with the liver. The doctor who admitted to having no exp with diabetcs noted that my Glucose was 4+.
I will start by admitting that I know that I’m non compliant. I am supposed to take novolog after every meal and one lantus inj at night. I suffer from hot spots, blood etc, pain when I inject myself and also lead an extremely busy lifestyle. My vision was 20/40 in one eye and 20/50 in another eye, both 20/30.
The doctor suggested the pump. Does anyone know what the 1000mg u/a on a test strip equates to? or what a UBG test is for. I’m doing my lab tomorrow and will prob. get fussed out by my doct this week. I have no idea what my current aic is but i just did my check and it as 300. My last meal was at 7:30am est and i tested at 12:20pm. I am getting a bit alarmed but i’m also realistic that needles at 4xs a day will not work for me.
Any advice or comment would be appreciated. I’m a female and 38yrs old. Thank you.

Later this year, the Volkswagen AG will launch its first hybrid model with the Touraeg Hybrid (an SUV with full-time all-wheel-drive). Today at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show, the German automaker unveiled a new concept which indicates that a second hybrid model is already being seriously considered.
Known as the New Compact Coupe Hybrid Concept, the study foreshadows a front-wheel drive hybrid for the compact class. Our educated guess tells us that Volkswagen is preparing to take on the growing segment of compact hybrids. We could be wrong however, but we can definitely see the New Compact Coupe Hybrid Concept going head-to-head with the Honda CR-Z.
2010 Detroit: Volkswagen New Compact Coupe Hybrid Concept:
Volkswagen’s World Premiere of the New Compact Coupe Hybrid Concept Car at the 2010 NAIAS
Unites Exceptional Efficiency with Top Dynamics
Wolfsburg, Germany / Detroit, MI — January 11 2010 — For Volkswagen, this marks the beginning of an action-packed year, in which more new models will be introduced than ever before in the company’s history. First on the spectacular list of new products for the 2010 calendar year is a car based on entirely new concepts and technology, a coupe with a hybrid drive that is extremely fast and yet futuristic in its fuel economy. It has sports appeal and sharp styling yet is remarkably elegant – positioned between the Europe’s bestselling sports car, the Scirocco, and the internationally successful CC. Its name: the New Compact Coupe (NCC). Site of its world premiere: Detroit, Michigan at the North American International Auto Show (January 11 to 24). Combined fuel consumption: 4.2 l/100 km* (45 mpg**). CO2 emissions: 98 g/km. Perhaps even more incredible, considering its fuel economy, are its top speed of 227 km/h (141 mph) and the short 8.6 seconds it needs for the classic sprint to 100 km/h (0-60 mph in 8.1 seconds).
These are made technically feasible through a high-tech alliance of sorts: a TSI engine (gasoline powered with 110 kW / 150 PS) that is as fuel efficient as it is sporty, an electric motor (20 kW / 27 PS), and a 7-speed Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) – which, in the eyes of many car drivers, is the best automatic in the world today. Just over a month after the debut of the most fuel-efficient four-seater in the world – the Up! Lite in Los Angeles – this new concept car confirms once again that future Volkswagen hybrid vehicles will not only focus on fuel economy, but – similar to pure gasoline and diesel versions of Europe’s most successful automobile brand – will also aim to be sporty and fun to drive. In the first half of the year, Volkswagen will launch its first hybrid model on the market under the VW label – an SUV with full-time all-wheel drive. Meanwhile, the New Compact Coupe shows, both technically and visually, how Volkswagen envisions a front-wheel drive hybrid for the compact class.
Hybrid DRIVE – TSI and Electric MOTOR plus DSG
Downsizing at its best: The concept car is driven by an extremely innovative high-tech alliance that closely approximates potential production versions. Volkswagen is using a four-cylinder version of the TSI gasoline engine range here. Direct injection, turbocharging and an intercooler generate 110 kW / 150 PS of power from just 1.4 liters of engine displacement – downsizing at its best. TSI technology has impressively demonstrated its extreme durability in many car racing events; including on the legendary Nordschleife of the German Nürburgring – the most demanding race course in the world. Since the first TSI engine was introduced just over five years ago, 3.5 million units of these boosted and torque-strong four cylinder engines have already been installed in vehicles. The TSI of the NCC – which of course is also equipped with ESP – transfers a hefty 240 Newton-meter (177 ft-lb) of torque to the front wheels at low engine speeds.
Emissions-free by E-motor: And there is even more power: An electric motor is integrated between the TSI and the efficient 7-speed DSG transsmision; it can be used for pure electric emissions-free driving, or it can support the TSI with aggressive torque. The electric motor develops 20 kW / 27 PS of power. The power and torque of the two drive units supplement one another during what is known as boosting – when accelerating to pass, for example. Since the NCC can also be driven in a pure electric mode, the drive system is classified as a Full Hybrid. A lithium-ion battery (1.1 kWh) at the rear of the vehicle supplies the electric motor with energy. By the way, in electric mode the TSI is not only shut off; it is also disengaged by a clutch to avoid drag loss.
Frequently coasting: As soon as the driver releases the gas pedal, the TSI is disengaged from the transmission. This so-called “coast-down” is even possible at higher speeds, as in freeway driving. Since drag losses are eliminated here as well, the NCC is able to coast for a longer period of time, for a driving style that leads directly to reduced fuel consumption.
Recovering kinetic energy: In braking, the electric motor – now operating as a generator – recovers kinetic energy which is then stored in the lithium-ion battery. Of course, just like Volkswagen’s new BlueMotion models, the New Compact Coupe also has a Stop-Start system on board to further reduce fuel consumption, especially in urban areas and in stop-and-go traffic.
Exterior Design and Dimensions
The unique interplay of efficiency and dynamics is reflected once again in the NCC’s styling, starting with a “Tungsten Silver Metallic” exterior. Klaus Bischoff, Chief Designer for the Volkswagen Brand, comments: “Styling of a coupe is considered the ultimate in automotive design. Our team has achieved a symbiosis of efficient technologies and elegance in the New Compact Coupe that is unique in its expression. Just a few precisely placed lines and powerfully sculpted surfaces have created a timeless dynamic and purist elegance that is typical of Volkswagen.”
Front end – Showing a strong face: The front of the New Compact Coupe shows an extremely confident and focused expression. Moreover, the NCC’s width is emphasized by the horizontal line styling with integrated Bi-Xenon headlights – including LED daytime running and turn signal lights. The technically complex headlights contribute to an unmistakable visual recognition of the concept car – both day and night.
Side view – A sharp profile: In the car’s side profile, styling properties characteristic of all new Volkswagens of the past year have been merged with elegant and yet sporty coupe features, resulting in a new interpretation of the design DNA. The best examples of this are the characteristic tornado line and the powerfully emphasized curves of the wheel arches. They intersect the main volume of the large, homogeneous surfaces, conveying a powerful dynamic. The image of the side windows rounds out this impression with a concise signature. Forging a stylistic bridge to current models are the 19-inch “Lugano” type alloy wheels.
Rear – A strong concluding statement: The cargo area of the New Compact Coupe is decidedly powerful in design. Clean surfaces and a muscular shoulder section dominate the image here too. Bright: the LED taillights. A spoiler lip that reduces air turbulence was styled into the top of the trunk lid; it further improves the car’s remarkable aerodynamics. At the bottom there is a stylized diffuser; the tailpipe of the exhaust system is embedded here for a positive aerodynamic effect.
Dimensions – Millimeters at work for styling: The New Compact Coupe is 4.54 meters (178.5 inches) long and 1.78 meters (70.1 inches) wide. Its low body height of 1.41 meter (55.6 inches) adds styling energy to the interplay of its dimensions; the ratio of broad width to low body height intensifies the Volkswagen’s dynamic image. Also large are the track widths (front 1.53 meter / 61.2 inches; rear 1.54 meter / 61.4 inches) and wheelbase (2.65 meters / 104.4 inches).
INTERIOR – ERGONOMICS AND DIMENSIONS
Showing its true colors: The NCC is a four-seater with exceptional long-distance touring comfort and generous occupant space, with sport seats upholstered in light-colored, “Berry White” leather. The lower cockpit area, portions of the center console, and the door trim panels also carry this lighter shade. By contrast, all other surfaces (except accents and controls), including the leather-trimmed steering wheel, are styled in a darker “Grigio Quartz” color.
Inside, the NCC offers an exceptional feeling of spaciousness for its class. Despite the sporty low body height, the car is able to offer ample head room front and rear, as well as leg room for rear passengers. The coupe’s 380 liter trunk can handle luggage for four passengers without a problem.
Climb in, buckle up, drive away: As soon as the NCC’s doors are opened, another reason for the Volkswagen brand’s tremendous success is revealed: unparalleled perfection in details and intuitive operation. The instruments are all laid out in ideal positions. The new multifunction sport steering wheel is the key interface between human and machine. The right hand rests naturally on the 7-speed DSG’s gearshift lever‚ which stands before the full control panel for driver and passenger. Newly-designed controls for the automatic climate control system (Climatronic), an 8-inch touchscreen radio-navigation system – also a new design – and, finally, the hazard flasher switch and center air vents all await. The center console is angled slightly toward the driver to perfectly align the cockpit to the driver’s needs. The round gauges with their chrome bezels and a multifunction display (trip computer and additional navigation display) placed between them, are also optimally positioned for easy viewing.
Metal trim accentuates the air vents, multifunction keys on the steering wheel, radio-navigation system, climate control, and the gearshift, while white accents are found in the door trim, instruments, and the window / mirror switch panels in the doors.
Individual seats in the rear: Designers have shaped the rear seating area to match the style of large Gran Turismo cars. Passengers sit on two comfortable sport seats here, with the center console continuing from the front to the rear passenger area. Here, the center console is equipped with additional storage space as well as climate controls and a fold-out center armrest. The overall finish and quality of the materials employed throughout the interior make viewers forget completely that the New Compact Coupe is still a concept car. And that, too, is a typical Volkswagen trait – no compromises.
If you applied a PC gamer’s obsession with gear and tweakability to a console controller, Razer’s Onza Xbox 360 controller is basically what you’d expect: Reprogrammable buttons, elongated triggers, two extra buttons and joystick tension adjustment (!).
Razer’s crammed an extra button onto each shoulder, which can be mapped using the switches on the back of the controller, and warped the traditional trigger into something the swoops out much further, reminding me of extra-long fingernails. The sticks feel a bit too tall, a consequence of the twist-and-click dial for adjusting how hard you have to click on the joystick button. The D-pad is great, on par with the special one on Mad Catz’s SFIV pad. It’s clear after playing some Halo ODST, though, that the new configuration would take some getting used to, even though the shape of the controller is as good as Microsoft’s own.
It’s corded, which is the real dealbreaker here. But we’ll see when this thing gets final.
A Cadillac acaba de revelar o cupê CTS-V 2011, que estréia no North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) de 2010, em Detroit. Ele combina o novo design do cupê CTS com o motor V8 6.2 litros supercharger de 556 cavalos de potência do sedã CTS-V. O resultado é um cupê esportivo de luxo voltado para os entusiastas da velocidade.
“O cupê CTS-V alia a nossa mais potente e sofisticada tecnologia com o nosso design mais surpreendente” disse Bryan Nesbitt, Gerente geral da Cadillac. “Essa combinação de características técnicas e visuais é feita para criar uma escolha muito tentadora para consumidores de carros esporte de luxo.”
O cupê CTS-V terá sua produção iniciada no segundo semestre de 2010. Sua combinação de elementos técnicos e de desempenho inclui o controle magnético da suspensão, freios Brembo saídos das pistas de corrida e disponibilidade de transmissão automática com trocas por meio de borboletas, junto ao volante.
O cupê série V inclui uma grade única que dobra o volume de entrada de ar do carro, um importante item devido a suas características de alto desempenho. Também é visualmente identificado por uma parte central elevada do capô que fornece uma folga para o supercharger e para os parachoques. Como no sedã CTS, seu escapamento é centralizado dentro do parachoque traseiro, mas com exclusiva saída dupla. O carro anda em rodas de alumínio fundido de 19 polegadas, disponíveis nos acabamentos pintado ou polido, e pneus de performance Michelin Pilot Sport 2.
O atual Sedã esporte CTS-V se estabeleceu rapidamente entre os sedãs de luxo de maior desempenho, sendo o primeiro sedã normal de produção com quatro portas e pneus de rua a quebrar a lendária barreira de oito minutos na famosa pista Nürburgring da Alemanha. O formato suave e a peso levemente reduzido do Cupê série V também garantem um alto nível de desempenho.
No interior, a cabine 2+2 combina desempenho e luxo. Uma nova cor de acabamento do interior, em açafrão, uma tonalidade amarela, quase laranja, é oferecida, em contraste com os detalhes e costuras dos assentos em microfibra nas partes superiores do acabamento.
You know, the grass really is greener on the other side. Take the HTC Hero, for example; Russia’s got it, and so do we – albeit with a slightly less awesome body. No discrepancies there, though – we’ve both got the same basic phone, so we can all be happy. But now Russia has an HTC Hero made of chocolate.
Over the past week, a few members of the Russian press have been surprised with these sweet treats. Why is HTC sending out chocolate Heros? No one’s really sure. Could they could be launching the device on a new carrier? Might they just be trying to make me jealous of my Russian colleagues? At the very least, it’s a damned good way to make LG feel silly for not doing this with every model of the LG Chocolate ever.
