The Obamas celebrated their 22nd wedding anniversary. It was a quiet late-night supper. It was just the Obamas and a couple of White House fence jumpers. -David Letterman -- We've given away over $380,000 to subscribers. See the E-Smarts to B-Smart contest. (Did you win? See below.) Old Marketing vs. Today's Online Marketing By Marketing has changed. I mean REALLY changed and too many marketers think that just means taking yesterday's paper advertisement and making it digital. There, now you've done it. You're in the electronic age right? Wrong! Magazine ads were / are a shotgun approach that hopes somebody will open up a publication, see it once, or if you have a big budget and can place multiple insertions, hopefully, they'll see your ad multiple times and remember it. But its costly to do that. It's also a real crap shoot as to whether the magazine or direct mail piece in the mailbox will be opened at all.

THIS ISSUE'S SMART QUESTION: Who makes the "only pulling calculator (Pull Calc App) on the market that finds the approximate pull force needed to install electrical cable inside conduit. Pull force is calculated by 'legs', straight runs of conduit followed by a bend, and force needed for each leg." Panelboards Are Getting Smarter Chuck Ross The breakers or fuses in a panelboard provide critical protection for both occupants and maintenance staff, by helping mitigate dangerous short-circuit and overcurrent conditions that could otherwise result in electrical fires or life-threatening injuries. But, as a common meeting point for multiple building circuits, panelboards also offer options for building owners and managers to learn more about how those circuits are being used. As the latest generation of products illustrates, the Internet of Things is now arriving at a panelboard near you. Open-Style Power Distribution Blocks James R. Dukart Mersen Electrical Power has introduced a new generation of open-style power distribution blocks (PDBs) to allow the safe and easy splicing of cables. The company’s MPDB (Mersen Power Distribution Block) series is offered in three size categories: miniature (MPDB62 and MPDB63 series), intermediate (MPDB66 and MPDB67 series), and large (MPDB68 and MPDB69 series), in both aluminum and copper. Retrofit Options Make Panelboard Upgrades Easier Chuck Ross Everything is easier in electrical installation with new construction or major renovation projects – open walls allow efficient access to all wiring and connections, and spaces can be easily configured to meet equipment needs. Upgrading equipment in an already-built environment, though, can be a much more complicated undertaking. In addition to dealing with existing electrical conduit and other connections, contractors also have to worry if there’s enough room available to do any necessary demolition work.
