You may have read about the recent release of Mark Twainsautobiography100 years after his death. News of this much-anticipated event reminded me of one of my favorite Twainquotes: The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.

He, of course, was referring to some confusion around the illnessof a cousin. Somehow, an obituary had been written, erroneouslylisting the famous author as the dearly departed. Today, more than

a century later, I think this quote could easily apply to some of usin the B2B arena who are still delivering print publications andancillary products to specific markets. To paraphrase Mr. Twain:The reports of our demise have been greatly exaggerated.

At Applied Technology Publications theres still plenty of life leftand lots of growing going on! We spent much of the economicdownturn expanding our print, online, digital and other prod-ucts and are excited about the future, especially since lubrica-tion professionals are so crucial to the global economic recovery.Were ready and eager to help you get this show on the road!Here are just a few of the great new things weve begun rolling out inLubrication Management & Technologythis month:

nMaintenance & Reliability Innovator Of The Year Award inconjunction with Ken Bannisters newMaintenance Technologycolumn entitled Dont Procrastinate. . . Innovate! (Pg. 6)

nThe Anatomy of A Centralized Automatic Lubrication System tohelp you select the correct system for your application. (Pg. 16)

nGreen Gadgets, Efficient Gadgets and Reliable Gadgets to helpyou do your jobs better, faster, safer. (Pg. 22)

n

Lab Spotlight, exploring oil-analysis tests and labs. (Pg. 24)

nLube Starz, profiles of some of our hard-working readers. (Pg. 17)

This list reflects just some of the new growth youll find amid

our already strong lineup of offeringsincluding a bigger and betterMARTS (Maintenance & Reliability Technology Summit) thatkicks off April 26 with the 2nd Annual Reliability Gives Voice to Autismcharity gala. Our goal is to give you everything you need. Moreover, wewant to serve you better than ever. Happy New Year! LMT

MY TAKE

Happy New Year! I have some real good news for you. But first, the badThe perfect storm thatsbeen brewing with regard to the dwindling labor pool and the loss of so many skilled, knowl-edgeable, experienced craftspeople from the workforce is about to blow. This isnt just me talking.Let me quote one of my favorite industry experts (and yours):

Statistics on the issue abound, including this: The Employment Policy Foundation (EPF)projects that well suffer an 80% skill loss over the next 10 years as the Baby Boomer genera-

tion officially becomes eligible for retirement. We must recognize that a large percentage ofthose skilled jobs will be lost foreverand that the remaining workforce will be expected toabsorb and cope with the devastating results.The clock is ticking faster and faster

These chilling words come directly from the first installment of contributing editor Ken Bannis-ters new column running every other month under the banner of Dont ProcrastinateInnovate!in Maintenance Technology(MT) magazine. According to Ken, we shouldnt look to governmentto legislate us out of the danger were in. Who knows what that might entail? He says its going to takesome real innovation on the part of our industriesand the individuals now working in themfor usto survive the killer storm that is bearing down on us. We at Applied Technology Publications (ATP),parent of both MTand Lubrication Management & Technology(LMT), and the Maintenance &Reliability Technology Summit (MARTS) have heard the message loud and clear. Moreover, were goingto put some real money where our editorial mouth is.

Along with Kens newMTcolumn, were launching the Maintenance & Reliability Innovator of theYear Award programand the good news for you is that its open to those in the lubrication community!The competition will allow you to pass on and share your successful innovative gizmos, gadgets, proce-dures, methods and ideas with others in the maintenance and reliability arena. Additional details willcome in future issues of bothMTand LMT.In the meantime, though, you can learn more about thetopic by going online* and reading Tick-Tock: Time To Innovate!

Please note that Ken is issuing a challenge to all maintenance and reliability professionalsincluding youon the lube side of the houseto put on your innovative-thinking caps. Theres no time to waste, he says:Begin writing down whatever improvement ideas you have and prepare yourself for a wave of innovationas we explore ideas to help us make it through our perfect storm. I agree. Its time to get going!

By the way, on behalf of all of us at Applied Technology Publications, let me take this space to thankyou for your past support. We look forward to serving your lubrication-information needs for manyyears to come! LMT
