New development: 'Translation Crystallization'
- A new trend called 'translation crystallization has stealthily been emerging in the translation industry. Instead of companies outsourcing their translation work to many different freelancers all over the world, corporations prefer to have all their work handled by a so-called 'translation partner. This partner in translation looks after the clients needs and demands from the beginning of the project until long after the final stage of the 'crystallization process has been completed.
For example, say that a corporation or government body has large amounts of translation work to outsource over the period of several years, what better way to have the work done than to 'umbrella the work within the premises of one full-service translation partner. This partner is equipped to meet any demands that the client may have regarding translation, editing, localization and DTP services.

United States Leads Canada in Productivity Growth and Technological Progress
Andrew Milivojevich of http://www.tkmg.org states, "In Canada, the dominant source of productivity growth is investment in equipment and structures. In the US, the dominant source is in MFPG; a measure of technological progress and organizational change. This signals a shift in productivity thinking favoring the US."
Andrew notes that productivity through investment in new production equipment is not without risk since the user's base knowledge in such equipment is minimal. When new equipment cannot meet customer expectations, companies rely on the supplier of such equipment to resolve their problems. This results in higher operating costs to replenish sub-standard product and contributes to poor productivity.

A petition by Congressman John Boehner (R-Ohio), seeks to eliminate consolidated fixed interest rates entirely. With the federal cap on student loans as high as 8.25%, Rep. Boucher's proposal could equate to higher monthly payments and thousands of dollars in unnecessarily paid interest for student borrowers.
At a time when student loan interest rates have reached historic lows, eliminating fixed interest rates is clearly a disservice to the student borrower. The proposed legislation would cost a borrower with a $20,000 loan balance an estimated $7,800 in additional interest charges over the allotted repayment period. The Higher Education Act was created to strengthen educational resources and provide financial assistance for post secondary education. The legislation that was designed to keep the student the priority is the same legislation that this reform effort is contradicting.
