Verso paper announced today that it has completed a preliminary assessment of the damage resulting from the recent explosion and fire at its paper mill in Sartell, Minnesota. The incident at the Sartell mill on May 28, 2012, which claimed the life of one Verso employee and injured four others, caused substantial damage to the mill's paper warehouse and important infrastructure including the electrical system. While a visual inspection of the mill's paper machine indicates that it was not damaged, the operability of the paper machine has not yet been confirmed. Based on the preliminary damage assessment, Verso has concluded that a period of several months would be required to complete the necessary repairs to the mill. Verso intends to continue the damage assessment and will make a decision on the mill's future once the assessment is completed.

QR Code Adoption by Merchants Booms
http://2d-code.co.uk/merchants-qr-code-usage-2012/
Multichannel Merchant’s recent ecommerce digital strategies survey (Outlook 2012-13: Ecommerce) has found that the number of merchants using QR Codes has increased to 47% from only 8% a year ago, 63.2% are using QR Codes in their print catalogs, 47.4% are using them in postcards and/or other non-catalog mail pieces and 40.4% are using them as part of their marketing collateral e.g. signs, bags, etc. The report suggests that the dramatic increase in merchants use of QR Codes may be due in part to last years USPS promotion offering commercial mailers an upfront 3% discount on mail which included a QR Code inside or on the mailpieces.

Paper Strikes Back
http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/06/01/environment-paper-idUSL1E8GVJVY20120601
Crumple it, drench it, lock it in a hot attic or a damp cellar but paper can come back to life. It is doing so now, after taking a battering from environmentalists, the Internet and a glum economy. Paper partisans are pushing back, defending greenbacks as preferable to dollar coins, physical mail as hacker-proof and turning-page books as more permanent than digital formats.
