HireVue Chief Operating Officer Co-Authors Article for IHRIM Journal.

Video interviewing pioneer HireVue reaffirms its leadership in HR technology innovation with an article in the most recent IHRIM Journal (Volume VIII, Number 6) which focuses on technology innovation in talent management. Authored by HireVue Chief Operating Officer and Penn State faculty member Chip Luman and PathPoint Consulting Practice Leader Dr. Van M. Latham, the article titled "Video Interviewing: Spearheading a Fundamental Shift in Talent Acquisition" was selected for publication by the IHRIM Journal after careful consideration of its research and relevance to the journal's audience.

"Talent Acquisition is undergoing a major shift right now," says Dr. Latham. "The interview process in particular has changed little in the past 25 years. It took a recession to get employers thinking about new ways to innovate in the interview process and video interviewing from providers like HireVue seems to be having the greatest impact."

HireVue's solutions include both one-way virtual and four-way live video interviews that are securely recorded to the HireVue system and used to screen candidates in the hiring process. HireVue's proprietary candidate evaluation tools to easily compare, contrast, and assess talent using the captured video interviews.

"When people are first exposed to video interviewing, they recognize the potential savings on interview travel-related costs immediately," says Chip Luman. "Of course that's important, but consider the cost of one mis-hire. It can run as much as 28 times base salary. This article shows how video interviewing helps to keep this from happening by improving quality of hire and the overall talent acquisition process. We're honored the IHRIM Journal selection committee recognized the importance of this message and included it in the journal."

Mr. Luman and Dr. Latham will present the article and show off the HireVue solution in a webinar titled "Video Changes Everything" today at 11 AM Pacific, 2 PM Eastern.

Plenty of good sports run for finish line at dog dash.(City/Region)(Pooches and their owners wear all manner of costumes in the annual Monster Dash's 5K-9 run)

Byline: Laura Ruggeri The Register-Guard

Bees and sharks and Cindi Lauper, oh my!

Those were just some of the costumes worn by dogs and humans during Saturday's Monster Dash in Eugene, sponsored by The Slocum Foundation and Team Ortho, a nonprofit organization focused on orthopedic research.

This year's second annual event featured a 10-mile run in addition to a 5K fun run and walk, and the 5K-9 doggie dash.

The first person to cross the finish line with a dog was Colleen Wedin of Eugene and her black lab, Porter, who were the defending champions from 2007.

Wedin sported a painted face, black running tights with white bones painted down the legs and bone gloves. She had painted white bones onto Porter's black fur as well.

He doesn't like to wear stuff, Wedin said of Porter, adding that he prefers to run naked. "We could feel it in our bones today was going to be a good run," she said.

Wedin and Porter finished in 20 minutes, 14 seconds, their fastest time ever, she said.

Other winners included Jason Tavakolian of Eugene in the men's 10-mile, Shannon Harty of Eugene in the women's 10-mile, Todd Bosworth of Eugene in the men's 5K and Beth Armstrong of McMinnville in the women's 5K.

Inspired by one of her favorite shows, "Deadliest Catch," Amanda Gomez dressed in yellow plastic overalls and raced with her Doxie, Lita, dressed in a lobster costume.

Gomez found the lobster costume on the Internet, she said, adding that last year they ran together as cavewoman and dino dog.

As for the overalls, "the plastic holds the heat in," Gomez said.

Beckie Ard reused part of an old costume she made last year for an event in Bend called the Pole, Pedal, Paddle. It was a shark head made with spray insulation and silver glittery fabric. It was pretty light, she said, but it did jiggle while she and her golden retriever/lab, Kitty, walked the race.

The head of the shark sat on the front of the kayak in the multi-sport event last year, but Ard had it perched on her shoulders during the Monster Dash. Kitty also sported a shark costume, complete with fin, although not as elaborate as Ard's.

It was Ard's first year in the Monster Dash.

"It was really fun," she said. "I've never been to a race where they gave out candy."

It was Heidi Knight Meigs' first time at the Monster Dash as well. Knight Meigs, her 8-year-old daughter, Savannah Knight Meigs, and their lemon Beagle, Scout, all participated in the race dressed as pop star Cindi Lauper. The trio's theme was "Girls just want to have fun run," Knight Meigs said. They came up with the motto in the car on the way to the race, she said.

Scout didn't have any wardrobe malfunctions, Knight Meigs said.

"I'm so proud of her for tolerating this today and humoring us," she said.

Missy Bates and her black lab mix, Mateo, were running in the race for the second year. Bates was dressed as a beehive and Mateo as a bee, complete with pipe cleaner antenna. Bates said she and Mateo run together all the time. For the Monster Dash, she and her friend, Sarah Foster, ran together, along with Foster's dog, Brody.

Foster was dressed as a bee and Brody as a ladybug.

Brody was going to be a bee too, but his costume didn't fit, Foster said.

She made a last-minute trip to Fred Meyer and found the last small dog costume they had, which was a ladybug, she said.

Last year, Foster and Bates ran as firefighters and dressed Mateo as a Dalmation, Foster said. She is 4' months pregnant so they're already figuring out how to decorate the stroller for next year, she said.

"We get so into it, but it's so fun," Foster said.

DPD Deutscher Paket Dienst GmbH & Co.KG - Leading European Parcel Service Company Chooses BroadVision Commerce Agility Suite 8.1.

Personalized, Self-Service Experience for Customers and Employees

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. -- BroadVision, Inc., (OTCBB:BVSN) a global provider of e-business solutions, announced today that DPD, one of Europe's leading parcel carriers, selected BroadVision[R] CAS[TM] (Commerce Agility Suite[TM]) 8.1 as the web platform and application for global deployment of its new Internet presence www.dpd.com and the new e-commerce applications.

"We have developed DPD from a company serving domestic markets to a real international organization. We're focusing on expanding the network and offering our customers a homogeneous product portfolio with international products and fully integrated services," says Dr. Pia-Maria Zecevic, Director Communications of DPD. "BroadVision enables us to create a multi-language site with an integrated system and application architecture. Ease of web content management; reusable components; and reduced maintenance and administrative overhead made the decision easy to go with BroadVision's solution suite."

"We are pleased that DPD, a leading European parcel provider, selected our innovative BroadVision Commerce Agility Suite as its web platform," said Andrea Rubei, General Manager of EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa), BroadVision, Inc. "BroadVision Commerce Agility Suite is a proven integrated platform for strategic companies that want superior flexibility, scalability and cost-effective components."

DPD also chose BroadVision Global Services to implement the project.

About BroadVision 8.1

BroadVision 8.1 incorporates the K2 (Kona * Kukini) methodology, a rapid implementation paradigm that dramatically speeds up the application development lifecycle, resulting in significant productivity improvements for customers. To help its customers harness these benefits, BroadVision developed the K2 Methodology, or K2M[TM], based on best practices accumulated from the company's 14-plus years of e-business project experience. The methodology emphasizes a "time-boxed" approach, iterated throughout all phases of a project's lifecycle. It follows the 80-20 principle, replacing much of the effort expended on hard coding with simpler configuration and assembly of reusable Kona objects and Kukini patterns. Laborious coding, which represents 80 percent of the work, is delegated to "role players" - freeing high-end resources to focus on the inevitable, but more challenging, "one-off" programming tasks representing 20 percent of the work. Field implementations of K2M have demonstrated substantial time-to-market gains and convincing cost savings across a wide spectrum of e-business initiatives.

About DPD

With the daily transport of more than 1.4 million parcels in a seamless international network, DPD GmbH & Co. KG is one of the leading parcel service providers in Europe. This global franchisor based in Aschaffenburg, Germany offers a wide product portfolio both domestically and abroad through its franchisees. The offer ranges from standard and Express parcels right through to individual customer solutions.

KG are the two CEOs Hans Fluri and Arnold Schroven. The French GeoPost Group holds the majority of shares in DPD, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of French postal company La Poste, also a BroadVision Commerce customer.

Profits Rise 24 Percent for Buffalo, N.Y.-Based Packaging Firm.

Byline: Matt Glynn

Apr. 28--Mod-Pac Corp.'s first quarter profits rose 24 percent, helped by strong sales in its commercial printing line.

The Buffalo-based printing and packaging company earned $654,000, or 17 cents per share. Its sales increased 26 percent to $11.6 million.

Daniel G. Keane, the company's president and chief executive officer, said Mod-Pac generated strong business through its relationship with Internet marketing firm VistaPrint.com, its sole commercial printing line customer. Sales in that segment increased more than $1 million to $4 million.

VistaPrint.com has shifted some of its work to a supplier in Europe. But Mod-Pac still has seven years left on its long-term supply agreement with the company and expects it will remain a steady source of revenue, said C. Anthony Rider, Mod-Pac's chief financial officer.

Sales for Mod-Pac's custom folding carton product line increased 26 percent to $3.9 million.

The company's quarterly results partly reflect the investment the company made in additional production equipment last year, Keane said. He expects Mod-Pac's overall sales to increase 15 percent to 18 percent this year.

Rider said Mod-Pac has emphasized its ability to quickly convert a custom order into a printable format and complete the job with a short turnaround time.

While large printers tend to focus on long production runs of bigger boxes, such as cereal cartons, Mod-Pac is willing to take on smaller runs of smaller-size containers, such as for spark plugs or health and beauty items, Rider said.
