In advance of spending much of next week at the HOW Conference, we're clearing out our inboxes (so as to minimize the e-mail crush when we get back). Here's some new news:

• ThePaperMillStore.com has added WorldWin cardstock and crafting papers, including 10 colors in the Ruche finish (below).

• Newly released Roxio Toast 9, the Mac disc-burning and media-management software, has upgraded features for designers who need to create Blu-ray DVD versions of their portfolios, catalog archived DVDs/CDs and share images.

• RUBI REY Rum has launched a digital-art program called the86collective, which aims to work with local arts organizations to spotlight new digital works. Denver's Lab at Belmar contemporary art space will host the collective from June 18 to July 20; later collective exhibits will hit Chicago and Miami later this summer.

• SMART Papers announced a $30 million energy-production facility for its Ohio-based mill that will use 100% biomass fuel (including yard waste and leftovers from the papermaking process). By late 2009, the company says, all its products will be produced without fossil fuels.

• Domtar introduced a new swatchbook to support its newly FSC-certified Lynx Opaque gradeline.
