With the economy struggling to get out of the recession slump, could the headlines really be true? Could China Steel be right when they say that the global steel market is returning to healthy levels?

The leaders of five major magazine companies—Charles H. Townsend, Condé Nast; Cathie Black, Hearst Magazines; Jack Griffin, Meredith Corporation; Ann Moore, Time Inc.; and Jann Wenner, Wenner Media—talk about the vitality of magazines as a medium.

The "Magazines, The Power of Print" campaign was announced March 1, 2010. It will launch in April with ads in nearly 100 magazines, reaching 112 million readers per month. The campaign promotes not just the enduring strengths of the medium but also spotlights consumer commitment to magazines.

One of the greatest ways to find exactly what you are looking for is to search for it via the internet.

Change is something we do, so let me tell you about the new Product Review! Starting with our March Monthly we are introducing Product Reviews. What we are doing with this is taking a certain machine, for March we are using Plate Bending Rolls, and we are picking 6 manufacturers and writing up a little something about the machines and letting the customers decide which one they prefer. This is something that no other publication in the industry is offering. If you have an idea or piece of machinery that you think would be a good fit for this review, please let us know. Thanks and until next time.

The Section 179 Deduction

For the 2010 tax year, under the current tax code, Section 179 allows businesses that spend less than $530,000 a year on qualified equipment to write-off up to $134,000 in 2010 with no bonus depreciation - then Section 179 is set to completely expire next year in 2011.
However in his State of the Union address on January 27, 2010, Obama called for extending temporary enhancements to Section 179 through the 2010 tax year end.

Administration officials indicate that those enhancements will include expanded limits on Section 179 including 50% bonus depreciation that have been a feature of earlier stimulus measures under both Bush and Obama.
