The U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors felt it best to implement all price and classification changes at the same time.

New First Class rates postponed

The U.S. Postal Service served notice to the Postal Regulatory Commission today that it would delay implementation of price and classification changes for First Class Mail and competitive products until further notice. USPS last week announced it would postpone the April 26 implementation date for its proposed changes for market dominant products, which were twice rejected by the PRC.

The Postal Board of Governors' choice to delay the implementation “was primarily motivated by a desire to minimize the potential adverse impacts that might result from staggering the implementation of new prices,” according to the notice.

The Postal Service reported that it will announce a new implementation date for all affected mail products when it submits the revised rates to the PRC.

Business Breaking News: Lenovo ThinkPad T450s: Is It Good for Business?

Business notebooks don't get much better than this. Lenovo's new ThinkPad T450s is an updated version of my previous favorite business notebook, the ThinkPad T440s. In fact, it looks and feels almost identical to last year's model, with only a few small changes like faster performance and a better trackpad.

No, it's not perfect, and depending on your needs, there may be much better options out there. The T450s is far from the sleekest, lightest or thinnest work notebook, and it lacks the graphical horsepower of some competing machines. But the T450s means business, with way more ports and connectivity options than you'll find on most thinner laptops, plus a durable design, an unbeatable keyboard and great security features. That's why I think the ThinkPad T450s is the new business notebook to beat.
