Like many print publications, Prevention, a staple of supermarket checkout lines, has suffered from a drop in ad pages in the last year.“Unfortunately the advertising industry has always worshiped at a younger altar,” said Maria Rodale, the chairwoman and chief executive of Rodale, the magazine’s publisher.
Readers of Prevention will not change radically — the magazine is geared toward women in their 40s, 50s and 60s — but the magazine will. Starting in January, Prevention will have a new editorial direction, a new look and new contributors to start the year.

The Top 50 Mailers of 2012
http://www.targetmarketingmag.com/article/top-50-mailers-2012-the-7th-annual-listing-mailers-measured-volume/1
Big companies have ramped up their mailing in 2012. JPMorgan Chase & Co., Sprint/Nextel, Dish Network and Discover Financial Services are all on the list after none of them appeared in 2011 or 2010. In fact, according to our data JPMorgan Chase hasn't mailed this heavily in five years—since 2007 when the company reported a mere $99.9 billion in revenue.
This year for the first time we examined catalogers as part of our Top Mailers research. In the past, we have excluded these mailers because we thought they would dominate the list. Now, as mail and catalogs are becoming more integrated with digital technologies, that no longer makes sense. Plus, there would still be fewer catalogers on the 2012 Top 50 than nonprofits.

The latest chapter in Benetton's "Unhate" campaign has abandoned the shocking images of recent ads and instead focuses on an attempt to shift perceptions of unemployed young people. In something like an online version of "The Apprentice," Benetton has asked NEETS (a U.K. acronym for "not in education, employment or training") under the age of 30 to submit ideas for grassroots projects that will have a positive social impact. Mr. Benetton said he hopes that other companies will follow suit by providing similar opportunities to restore dignity to the younger generation. The "Unemployee of the Year" competition will be promoted online and in newspapers, magazines and on MTV.

ForestTalk's Play-by-Play on Port Hawkesbury
Let’s look more at the $1 billion tax loss that is involved in the Port Hawkesbury Paper deal:
You may have heard the $1 billion figure thrown around in regards to the sale of NewPage Port Hawkesbury. Exactly what is the $1 billion in tax credits? Where did it come from? And how is it being transferred?
...Corporations aren’t taxed on their profits they may post during a year. They are taxed on their cumulative profit...NewPage Port Hawkesbury has accrued roughly $1 billion in tax losses that could be used to offset future profits...A mutually beneficial agreement with Nova Scotia Power could be the key to Pacific West Commercial Corp. successfully restarting and operating the mill.
Without a lower power rate, Pacific West Commercial Corp. would be no more likely to succeed than the mill’s recent two owners, NewPage and Stora Enso.
...What happens now that Canada Revenue Agency has denied the advanced tax ruling proposal...The Province of Nova Scotia has stepped in and offered to make more of its $124.5 million funding package for the mill forgivable.

NS Restructures Port Hawk. Package After CRA Rejection
Though Pacific West Commercial Corp. had said a ruling in its favour was a condition of restarting the mill, the company said in a release Friday that it expects it can restart the facility by the end of the month.
Natural Resources Minister Charlie Parker said the province’s package will be “restructured” so more of the loans are forgivable. He said details will be released early next week.
The province’s assistance, announced in August, included $40 million in repayable loans, $26.5 million in forgivable loans, $20 million for the province to buy land, and $38 million over 10 years to support sustainable harvesting and forest land management.
Parker said the changes won’t leave taxpayers pouring more money into Pacific West Commercial Corp.’s operation at the former NewPage Port Hawkesbury mill in Point Tupper.
ArjoWiggins Closing Detail; 100M mt, Denmark
Arjowiggins
Graphic is announcing its intent to stop production at the Dalum paper mill
located at Odense Denmark before the end of the year.
The
Odense site is currently operating a 100MT capacity paper machine. The whole
paper production will be transferred to the other paper mills of the
Arjowiggins Graphic division. The full paper range produced by the Dalum paper
mill will be maintained within Arjowiggins' portfolio and customers will be
offered the same quality and service.
The
European Graphic demand has been structurally reducing at an annual rate of 6%
since a few years, generating over capacity within the European graphic paper
industry. The planned closure of the Dalum paper mill will contribute to the
necessary capacity adjustment of the industry and allow the optimization of the
capacity utilization of the Arjowiggins Graphic division.

If the sale of the NewPage Port Hawkesbury mill goes ahead there are no plans to dismantle or sell the mill’s older newsprint machine, even though it will not operate, an official with the company working to buy it says.
Richmond County is appealing a Nova Scotia Supreme Court decision that allowed a bid by the company looking to reopen the NewPage paper mill to cancel its municipal tax deal to go ahead.
The prospective owner of the idled NewPage Port Hawkesbury mill in Cape Breton says the company is looking at options to diversify markets for the mill’s products.
Marc Dube, the restructuring manager for Pacific West Commercial Corp., told the Antigonish Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday that would mean making more than paper from their fibre supply, including extracting sugar, which can also be used in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
