like to listen to my iPod, I just could never get into those
armbands. That's where SCOTTEVEST comes in. They aren't just a
company for travel clothes, they have a whole line of performance
clothing. The clothes have a built-in, patented wire management
system, which I love, since I kept getting tangled up with my
headphone wires (they kept getting coiled on my arm like an angry
snake). Full disclosure: I sit on their board, but have been a
HUGE fan of their products since before then. Check out their
performance gear and full line of travel clothes here:

Media Outlet: Ask Joy - Entrepreneurial Woman magazine
Deadline: 07:00 PM EST - 8 June
Query:
Ask Joy is a syndicated PR advice column from publicity
consultant Joy Donnell. Think "Dear Abby" but about
self-publicity. It is published online and in print with over
100,000 readers. We're changing things up! Starting in July, the
column will be on video as well as in print. We are seeking
self-publicity questions from entrepreneurs and business owners.
Participants will need to be comfortable on camera. Are you
trying everything but not getting the exposure you need? Did you
place some of your product with a celebrity but feel nothing
became of it? Did you finally land an interview but it went
completely wrong? Do you still not know your own brand? Whatever
your self-publicity issue, we'd love to hear from you. Please
submit your self-PR question/letters to joy@doitinpublic.com with
"Ask Joy" as the subject. If we think your situation fits the
column, we'll contact you about participating in the video
series. You can get more familiar with the Ask Joy column online
through Joy's blog at http://doitinpublic.com

Employees are pressing their employers to provide them with the

management is beginning to buy in to the notion. Is this the end
of the world as we know it for IT departments? I would like to
speak with IT officials about the increasing consumerization of
technology is affecting their operations? What are their
policies? Is this trend helping or hindering innovation in IT
infrastructure. Do they have any policies in place to deal the
"bring your device to work" trend?
