YouTube for business

2009-12-13T15:18:29Z

PHILADELPHIA -- On West Lancaster Avenue in Wayne, Pa., local businessman Robert Lail runs what he calls "YouTube for business."

"Most people don't know how big the corporate video market is," said Lail, who sold corporate training videos in the 1970s and 1980s before launching a telemarketing firm, MarketMakers, for technical products. "I think it's bigger than traditional media. There are 13 million companies out there. Some of those companies have their own TV studios."

Remembering Omaha Beach

2009-06-08T16:45:40Z

From the Charlotte Observer:

Sixty-five years ago, two teens from the same North Carolina community waited off the coast of France for the start of an invasion that turned the tide of World War II.

The friends were aboard different ships. But knowing someone from home was close by comforted each of them.

Pete Lail and Bill Brown had gone to Oak Hill High School in Caldwell County, joined the Navy together and sweated through boot camp side by side.

On D-Day, June 6, 1944, the 19-year-olds steered landing craft toward Omaha Beach at Normandy. On June 7, when their boats happened to pass, they recognized each other and waved.
