 Meet Joe Deemer. He is the resident editor of Printing Industries of America. I sat down with him to discuss his first large-scale project -- editing the Glossary of Graphic Communication, fourth edition.

 The Affordable Mail Alliance (AMA) has called on the Postal Regulatory Commission to dismiss the Postal Service's rate hike proposal filed on July 6, 2010. AMA's motion argues that the rate hike violates the cost controls Congress put into law to protect consumers and that the Postal Service needs to cut costs and modernize rather than raise rates an average of ten times the rate of inflation. Given the potential precedent-setting nature of the exigency rate case, Printing Industries of America has joined with the AMA to block this rate increase.
