TLC Adds West Coast Customs to Thursday Night Turbo Lineup with New Series, STREET CUSTOMS, Starting This Fall

TLC announces its new six-part TURBO series, STREET CUSTOMS, starring Ryan Friedlinghaus and his automotive shop, West Coast Customs. The series features the West Coast Customs crew in their new state-of the-art facility as they tackle some of the most extraordinary car builds ever conceptualized and built on television.

CORONA, Calif. (PRWEB) August 15, 2007

STREET CUSTOMS is expected to premiere in the fall of 2007 on TLC's Thursday night lineup, TURBO ON TLC, which features the best "motorized" content Discovery Networks has to offer. STREET CUSTOMS is executive produced by Craig Piligian and his Pilgrim Films and Television with Ryan Friedlinghaus as an executive producer. For TLC, Mark Poertner is executive producer.

STREET CUSTOMS highlights the talents of car customizing star Ryan Friedlinghaus and his unorthodox approach to managing his West Coast Customs family of artisans and technicians. STREET CUSTOMS features not only the process behind the builds, but showcases West Coast Customs' original designs that have propelled them to the top of the car-tuning game. Each episode of STREET CUSTOMS chronicles the boundary-busting car builds that epitomize the street edge, passion and craftsmanship West Coast Customs represents and Friedlinghaus demands. The builds range in scope from customizing modern-styled street rods to chopping up $100,000 luxury vehicles. These incredible creations have an impressive client list to match, including sports icons, Hollywood elite and famous car aficionados. West Coast Customs houses experienced craftsmen, each greatly skilled, yet territorial and temperamental. As a result, Friedlinghaus is forced to spend much of the build getting crew members to work together, an endlessly demanding task that provides for much of the series' drama. West Coast Customs new facility is located in Corona, Calif., and is the primary location for STREET CUSTOMS.

"TLC is a great home for West Coast Customs to display the one-of-a-kind cars our shop builds on a regular basis and the highly creative and skilled craftsmen we have on our team," said Ryan Friedlinghaus, owner of West Coast Customs.

"STREET CUSTOMS is a highly anticipated series for TLC and will complement our strong lineup of automotive and motorcycle enthusiast programming like AMERICAN CHOPPER, AMERICAN HOT ROD and WRECKS TO RICHES. These TURBO on TLC series explore the drama and artistry of the build process and we are excited to have the West Coast Customs team join TLC," said Christian Drobnyk, Senior Vice President of Programming for TLC.

Having pioneered the "automotive/motorcycle build" genre of reality television with the hit series, AMERICAN CHOPPER, Pilgrim Films and Television's CEO and President, Craig Piligian, adds STREET CUSTOMS to his run of groundbreaking series like DIRTY JOBS, AMERICAN HOT ROD, GHOST HUNTERS and THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER.

The TURBO ON TLC lineup is the on-air home for TURBO, the multiplatform, multimedia destination for Discovery Network's best "motorized" content, from choppers to supersonic jets and everything in between. TURBO programming blocks air on Thursday nights on TLC and Tuesday nights on Discovery HD Theater. TURBO's 24-hour broadband channel, www. turbo. com, highlights cars, bikes, hot rods, planes and boats, as well as events, behind-the-scenes footage and in-depth insights into the passionate personalities that bring these machines to life. TURBO On Demand offers Discovery's popular auto-engineering series, as well as military programming and original short-form content, while Discovery Mobile's TURBO block provides enthusiasts with an adrenaline boost on the go.

RFID Journal Gets New Look, Features

The updated site features a wider format, as well as additional customization and tools for readers and advertisers.

New York (PRWEB) February 4, 2009

RFID Journal, the world's leading media and events company focused on radio frequency identification, announced today that it has re-launched its Web site with a new, wider format and enhanced tools for readers and advertisers. The new site, a year in development, is easier to navigate, enabling visitors to find the content most interesting to them, and allowing advertisers to get their solutions in front of targeted end users more effectively.

"We're very excited about the new site, and think it will serve our readers and our advertisers well," said Mark Roberti, founder and editor of RFID Journal. "RFID Journal has been the leading media company covering the RFID industry for more than six years now, but we found that readers were having trouble finding some of the great content on our site. Therefore, we've improved the search functionalities, and now more of the content is visible on the homepage, making it easier for visitors to locate the articles of most interest to them."

The updated site design boasts new context-sensitive features. When a user is in the site's health-care section, for instance, the left-hand navigation bar will display links to news, case studies and other articles related to that field, as well as links to all news, case studies and other articles. Readers also have greater control of their preferences with a new "My RFID Journal" section enabling them to customize their site preferences. For example, they can more easily change which newsletters they would like to receive.

Additional customization options and new features will be added in the coming months, Roberti said. "We have plans for a video library and an 'Ask the Expert' feature," he noted, "as well as the ability to create communities, receive news in a format suitable for a phone or other mobile device, and much more."

New Browser Toolbar
In addition, RFID Journal has created a new toolbar that readers can download and add to any standard browser. The toolbar features a search field enabling readers to type in a term and immediately search the site for relevant articles. There are also pull-down menus allowing visitors to quickly jump to different areas of the site--such as Expert View articles; sections devoted to the use of RFID in specific vertical industries, such as logistics or packaging; or specific sections devoted to such topics as asset tracking, the environment or security.

New Features for Advertisers
The new site features larger format ads common on many businesses to consumer sites, as well as the ability to target advertising more precisely to readers interested in specific topics. For instance, an advertiser can choose to promote only in the site's manufacturing section, or only in the automotive section.

Keyword Advertising
What's more, the new site features a unique keyword targeting option, enabling an advertiser to promote only alongside articles containing "hospital," "Wal-Mart" or some other specific keyword. "We think this is the most powerful marketing tool available to RFID companies," Roberti stated. "If you are an advertiser, you can now use your budget more efficiently and effectively by advertising to people whom you know are interested in your solution. This is, without a doubt, one of the most effective and targeted ways to spend marketing dollars."

Keyword advertising can be combined with RFID Journal's existing ability to target readers in a specific country or state. So if small company in Germany, or in the state of Texas, has only a small budget and wants to reach only cattle ranchers in their area, they can do so cost-effectively: RFID Journal can deliver ads only to visitors in Germany or Texas who read about tagging cattle.

"This new precise targeting capability means someone with as a little as $2,000 can now use their limited budget to reach only the segment of our large readership that they want to reach," Roberti explained. "We believe this capability, and the other features built into the new site, will serve our readers and advertisers well--and we look forward to hearing their feedback."

About RFID Journal
RFID Journal is the leading source of news and in-depth information regarding radio frequency identification (RFID) and its many business applications. Business executives and implementers depend on RFID Journal for up-to-the-minute RFID news, in-depth case studies, best practices, strategic insights and information about vendor solutions. This has made RFID Journal the most relied-upon and respected RFID information resource, serving the largest audience of RFID decision-makers worldwide--in print, online and at face-to-face events.

"Sustainable Trouble" Diagrams America's Devolution to Tyranny

Freedom21SantaCruz. net Founding Participant Michael Shaw offers an insightful commentary on the devolving condition of American society, analyzing trends that appear to be driving the nation toward tyranny. By recognizing and understanding these trends, Shaw hopes that "men and women of good will can be more easily joined to restore and protect Liberty and Natural Law, and to promote mutual respect for each person’s individuality." “Sustainable Trouble: The Attempt to Transform the Vision of America” is available free through Freedom 21 Santa Cruz at http://www. freedom21santacruz. net.

Aptos, CA (PRWEB) October 27, 2005

An artificial political dynamic is dividing Americans away from the founding principles of the Declaration of Independence, and realigning the nation with a world order that targets free enterprise, private property, and justice, according to “Sustainable Trouble: The Attempt to Transform the Vision of America.”

In “Sustainable Trouble”, Freedom 21 Santa Cruz (www. freedom21santacruz. net) Founding Participant Michael Shaw offers an insightful commentary on the devolving condition of American society, analyzing trends that appear to be driving the nation toward tyranny. By recognizing and understanding these trends, Shaw hopes that "men and women of good will can be more easily joined to restore and protect Liberty and Natural Law, and to promote mutual respect for each person’s individuality."

“Sustainable Trouble” demonstrates how the left-right, liberal-conservative political spectrum is an artificial dialectic that classifies people into generalized categories that are more easy for political powers to manipulate and control. Change agents on both ends of this false dialectic are driving global populations towards a synthesis called "Sustainable Development,” according to Shaw. Change agents on the left are working to replace equal justice with social justice, and individual rights with environmental rights. Simultaneously, change agents on the right are working to replace free enterprise with private/public partnerships. The result is that change agents working from opposite ends of the political spectrum are effectively creating the government-controlled society outlined in the United Nations Sustainable Development Agenda 21.

“The real battle is not between left and right, it’s between ordinary people and the ‘powercrats’,” he says. To preserve for future generations a healthy planet, rising prosperity, genuine peace, and a life of one’s own, Shaw implores all Americans to rally around personal and family autonomy, private property, and the moral and legitimate exercise of government authority. “Let us renew the spirit of America’s grand purpose,” he says.

“Sustainable Trouble: The Attempt to Transform the Vision of America” is available free through Freedom 21 Santa Cruz at http://www. freedom21santacruz. net (http://www. freedom21santacruz. net).

ABOUT FREEDOM 21 SANTACRUZ

Freedom 21 Santa Cruz (http://www. freedom21santacruz. net (http://www. freedom21santacruz. net)) is a freedom policy center that celebrates the principles of self-governance and individual liberty that form the basis of the American experience. We recognize that America is transitioning from a free land to a controlled state, and believe that knowing reality is the foundation for restoring and preserving liberty. Freedom 21 Santa Cruz aims to expose the contrast between liberty and tyranny, and welcomes participation to all.

Chocolate Christmas with a Plum Pudding Twist

AWARD-winning UK celebrity chef, Paul Da-Costa-Greaves who is also a spiritual healer and chocolate therapist has created a new festive chocolate sensation called the 'Fruity' bar which has a Jamaican twist. The luxury chocolate was inspired by Paul's Aunt Merva, who is renowned for the Christmas puddings she makes at her home on the Caribbean island.

Topsham, Devon, UK (PRWEB) September 5, 2009

AWARD-winning UK celebrity chef, Paul Da-Costa-Greaves who is also a spiritual healer and chocolate therapist has created a new festive chocolate sensation called 'Fruity' bar which has a Jamaican twist. The luxury chocolate was inspired by Paul's Aunt Merva, who is renowned for the Christmas puddings she makes at her home on the Caribbean island.

Master Chef Paul, who owns the acclaimed Galley Fish and Seafood Restaurant in Topsham, Devon said: "Aunt Merva's puddings are famous but she guards the recipe closely and it took a great deal of persuasion and a bit of rum to win her over. "Last Christmas I combined a little pudding with chocolate and it was heaven. It has then taken a year to finish off the recipe and perfect this plum pudding style 100g chocolate bar."

Hand-made, from the finest Belgium organic milk chocolate, 'Fruity' is a gently-spiced festive treat of sultanas, currants, raisins, mixed peel and honey plus a generous helping of Guinness and brandy, making it a perfect seasonal present for chocolate connoisseurs. 'Fruity' is one of a range of 11 luxury bars in Paul's unique range that helps support communities on Ghanaian Cocoa plantations.

While Paul's Aunt inspired 'Fruity' the rest of the therapeutic range was a result of Paul's other passion, his complementary therapy practice. With alluring names like 'Seductive', 'Dreamy' and 'Fantastic', each Belgium Cocoa bar is blended with essential aromatherapy oils that Paul believes are an indulgent way to enhance your mood. A few therapeutic squares of 'Fantastic' organic milk chocolate with ginger, black pepper and grapefruit could rev up your energy levels better than an espresso.

Then there's 'Beautiful'; an organic white chocolate with uplifting Bergamot oils and warming cinnamon (won Gold at Great Taste Awards) or Gorgeous; an organic dark chocolate, sweet orange, mixed spice and rose petal (won Silver at Taste of the West Awards) and 'Sexy'; organic milk chocolate with an after hit of chilli (Bronze at Taste of the West Awards), while 'Dreamy'; organic milk chocolate, lemon and geranium rose should float you to bed.

Paul aged 40, said: "I love the taste of chocolate and it's scientifically proven to release feel-good endorphins in the brain as well as aiding heart health. But I wanted to go a stage further and create a grown-up, ethical and luxurious brand with therapeutic qualities. I use my complementary training to invent combinations and I'm delighted they've won so many awards".

The range of Feeding Your Imagination organic Belgium chocolate bars cost £3.99 and can be purchased online or via approved stockists. For further information please visit: http://www. feeding-your-imagination. co. uk (http://www. feeding-your-imagination. co. uk) or email: eatme(at)feeding-your-imagination(dot)co(dot)uk.

TrekDesk Launches Cooperative Program Aimed at Improving Health of Native Americans

Payton Bordley, Director of Native American Programs for TrekDesk Treadmill Desks announces the firm’s first cooperative program aimed at re-introducing movement and improving the health of Native Americans.

Phoenix, AZ (Vocus) November 13, 2010

TrekDesk Treadmill Desks’ director of Native American Programs, Payton Bordley, announced today a cooperative program with the Skokomish Tribal Health Clinic in Washington State aimed at raising awareness of the dangers of sedentary lifestyles in Native American communities.

“TrekDesk has raised awareness regarding the health risks associated with sedentary lifestyles on a national basis but it has always been my goal to reach the Native American community where the impact of 58 obesity - related diseases is most dire,” stated Bordley. “I am very excited at the opportunity of introducing the health benefits of the TrekDesk on my reservation with the assistance of the Skokomish Health Clinic.”

“I will be working with employees of the Skokomish Health Clinic who normally are desk bound throughout the day and will track their improvement in a number of key areas including weight, blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol levels. Native populations in America face a 230% higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes than the general population and I believe that movement and the realization of its benefits is the solution to this nationwide challenge.”

“Ultimately, my goal is to spread awareness nationally to the Native communities that we are especially impacted by lack of movement due to the modern work environment. Hunter gatherers were not meant to be confined to a desk and I believe this is the largest contributor to our health challenges today,” concluded Bordley.

Designed to fit any existing treadmill, TrekDesk is an affordable, full sized workstation that allows individuals the opportunity to gain the necessary amount of exercise daily to maintain health, boost mood and mental abilities, and prevent disease without taking any extra time out of the day.

TrekDesk is currently available for sale online at TrekDesk. com for $479.00 including free shipping. Native communities interested in participating in a movement campaign can contact Payton Bordley at info@trekdesk. com.

Join the TrekDesk “Movement Revolution” to learn more about these and other studies on TrekDesk’s Facebook page at http://www. facebook. com/pages/TrekDesk-Treadmill-Desk/80743563805

Yes, Virginia, There Really is a Way for a Mentally Ill, Recovered Alcoholic to Enjoy the Holidays

It took a lot of eggnog but award-winning journalist Christine Stapleton has finally figured out how to enjoy the holidays despite her mental illnesses: depression, bipolar and alcoholism. She shares her holiday experiences and much more in her new book, Hoping for a happy ending: A journalist's story of depression, bipolar and alcoholism.

West Palm Beach, FL (PRWEB) December 8, 2009

Managing mental illness is tough any time of the year, but the holidays can wreak havoc on those living with mental illness. In Hoping for a happy ending: A journalist's story of depression, bipolar and alcoholism, Christine shares the best of her award-winning columns and her tips for enjoying the holidays without alcohol or fully functioning synapses.

"If you think shopping for your mother-in-law is tough, try holiday shopping for a friend in a major clinical depression. Now there's a challenge. You could buy this friend a winning Lotto ticket and it would mean about as much as, well, a piece of paper with numbers on it. Seriously, we lose interest in stuff when we're in a depression. This is a bonus for you holiday shoppers trying to save a buck. We're like a cheap date."

As a journalist for nearly 30 years, Christine is uniquely positioned to speak on mental illness and brings her passion for investigative reporting to her columns. More than a memoir, Hoping for a happy ending: A journalist's story of depression, bipolar and alcoholism explores a smorgasbord of topics ignored by the mainstream media. Nothing is off limits: salacious media coverage of mentally ill killers, celebrity substance abuse as entertainment and poorly trained, irresponsible doctors who kill with their prescription pads.

Written especially for the still sick and suffering, each column focuses on a single topic. "When I was in my black hole I could barely focus long enough to finish a sentence," Christine said about her writing style. "Simple words and short sentences were all I could handle."

Her columns - published weekly in The Palm Beach Post and distributed by Cox News Service and the New York Times Syndicate - regularly appear in newspapers throughout the U. S. and Canada and on numerous websites, including the corporate sites of Apria Health Care and Merck & Co.

Call now to arrange an interview and give readers and viewers a fresh, intelligent and unique perspective on mental illness.

TrialStat Selects Third Brigade’s Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)

Clinical Research electronic data management company chooses host-based IPS to protect sensitive research data from latest threats.

Ottawa, ON and Reston, VA (PRWEB) May 11, 2006

Third Brigade (www. thirdbrigade. com), a security software company that specializes in intrusion prevention systems (IPS), today announced its software has been selected by TrialStat Corporation. TrialStat delivers electronic data management solutions as a hosted service for clinical research. A technology leader in their market, TrialStat’s customers include Contract Research Organizations (CROs), pharmaceutical companies and academic clinical investigators.

Clinical research data, by its nature, is highly confidential and represents a key asset for research organizations. Because TrialStat’s technology and services are critical to its customer’s success, the company is relentless about delivering a superior, consistent, and secure end-user experience.

“Regulatory bodies and our customers require that we meet or exceed industry best practices for data security, integrity and availability. We recognize that host-based IPS is a security best-practice and complements other aspects of our defense-in-depth strategy,” said Peter O’Blenis, Vice President of Product Development. “We selected Third Brigade to help ensure the high availability of our mission-critical applications, and to ensure that our customers’ data is never at risk due to data loss, or security breaches.”

Protecting custom-built applications from attackers that might try to exploit a known or unknown vulnerability is complex and requires a special approach. The IPS must be flexible and responsive. It must predict the ways in which an attacker might try to exploit a vulnerability in the system, and it must proactively prevent attacks before they reach the host.

“Third Brigade Deep Security was specifically designed to support the demanding needs of organizations that depend on custom-built applications, including healthcare, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology companies,” said Wael Mohamed, President and CEO of Third Brigade.

Film rights to Pro Wrestling Legend Larry ZbyszkoÂ’s soon-to-be-released book, Adventures in LarryLand, have been secured by the Rich Dickerson Media Group. Tentatively titled, Â“Adventures in LarryLand,Â” it is based on the wrestlerÂ’s autobiography which is expected to be released this fall by ECW Press Toronto.

(PRWEB) March 15, 2007

Pro Wrestling Legend Larry Zbyszko has taken on Bruno Sammartino and Eric Bischoff. He has provided commentary on WCW Monday Night Nitro. He has written a book. And now it looks as though he might be immortalized by the Big Screen.

The movie is based on Pro Wrestling Legend Larry ZbyszkoÂ’s autobiography, Adventures in LarryLand, a book expected to be released this fall by ECW Press Toronto. Film rights have been secured by the Rich Dickerson Media Group. Tentatively titled, Â“Adventures in LarryLand,Â” it is expected to go into production in the Summer of 2007.

Larry ZbyszkoÂ’s story of becoming Pro WrestlingÂ’s Living Legend is one that proves dreams come true. Inspired by his boyhood hero, Bruno Sammartino, his career spanned over 30 yearsÂ… including appearances in Madison Square Garden and on nationwide pay-per-view events. His exploits also provided what some would call Â“miraclesÂ” for his time. Zbyszko sold out Shea Stadium with over 44,000 fans and even the Tokyo Dome, which held more than 70,000 fans -- all of whom watched him wrestle their Olympic hero, Masa Sieto.

Through the 90s, Zbyszko did the color commentary on five nationwide television shows, including the highest rated wrestling show of all time, WCW Monday Nitro. Additionally Larry is extremely popular in many international markets with millions of fans spanning three generations, all of whom know the name of wrestlingÂ’s Living Legend.

Zbyszko has also achieved what no wrestler has ever done before, crossing a unique bridge between the physically brutal world of professional wrestling to the elite ranks of professional golf. Sponsored by Morphoplex Brands, the Leader in Natural Health Supplements, he has become an active participant on the senior gold circuit. LarryÂ’s adventures on the links were covered by several major sports shows like ESPNÂ’s Cold Pizza and the Golf ChannelÂ’s show Golf Central.

The Rich Dickerson Media Group is producing the film, Â“Adventures in LarryLand,Â” and it already has Morphoplex Brands as a major advertiser, but opportunities for cutting edge product placement and worldwide exposure through the film medium are still available.

Rich Dickerson Media Group is now seeking extras for walk-on and crowd roles for the production. All applicants must meet the following criteria:

Mesothelioma Victims Center Urges Diagnosed Mesothelioma Victims To Call Them First For Help, Advice and Honesty

Why should victims of mesothelioma or their families call the Mesothelioma Victims Center first? According to the group, "it's pretty simple -- we will tell them the truth about treatment options, will make sure the victims or their families find the most capable lawyers, we will help with Social Security or VA benefits, and everything else they need to know; and our service is free." The Mesothelioma Victims Center was created to assist all US victims of mesothelioma after a loss of a family member. The group has initiated this very complete free service because there is literally nothing close to this type of service in the United States, and because this type of service is sorely needed by mesothelioma victims and their families. The Mesothelioma Victims Center was created to assist victims and their families in every way possible--to include a little honesty about supposed mesothelioma law firms that actually sell the victim to a law firm that actually provides the legal help. Victims who served in the US Navy are especially encouraged to contact the group at 866-714-6466. Their web site is located at Http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter. Com

Washington, DC (Vocus) January 25, 2010

The Mesothelioma Victims Center was created to be the most useful help, support and advice service for victims or family members of victims of mesothelioma available in the US. Mesothelioma is a rare and lethal form of cancer. Mesothelioma is caused by exposure to asbestos. The group never realized that there was no safety net for victims to get help from the government or VA. They did not know how difficult it might be to get veterans benefits or social security benefits. The group says,"we also discovered that it is critical for victims of this lethal disease to get proper legal representation---not some law firm pitching mesothelioma help--or support on TV or radio--that in fact might be trying to get victims to sign up in the hopes they can sell the victim to a real mesothelioma law firm." The Mesothelioma Victims Center was designed to be the national advocacy center for the victims and family members of mesothelioma. Their service is free. The web site is located at http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter. com.

Their services include:
Assisting the victims obtain Social Security permanent disability payments If the victim is a veteran and was exposed to asbestos during military duty in the US Navy, Army, Coast Guard, or Air Force, we will work with the victim and his/her family in obtaining Veterans Disability, and health care benefits. We will assist the family in getting the best possible health care options We will assist the victim and their family in getting the best legal counseling on a wide variety of topics that arise from this disease--from actual mesothelioma legal experts.

A victim of mesothelioma or their family can call the group any time at 866-714-6466.

Who Can Get Mesothelioma? Individuals exposed to asbestos? As follows: Individuals who served in the US Navy. Especially Navy personnel who served in or around naval ship engine rooms, veterans of the US Army, Air Force, Marines, or Coast Guard, naval ship yard workers, ship yard workers, chemical industry workers, oil/gas industry workers, automotive repair specialists, construction workers, plumbers, demolition contractors.

It is not unheard of for wives, or spouses to of workers exposed to asbestos to get mesothelioma-from the worker bringing work clothing home that contains asbestos from a work environment. Approximately 200-250 US citizens per month get diagnosed with mesothelioma. The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "tragically mesothelioma is frequently is misdiagnosed, so we really do not know what the actual number is. It could be much higher."

Because no other group is providing this full range of services and because victims and their families need assistance in these areas, the Mesothelioma Victims Center is doing this at no charge, because it's the right thing to do. If a loved one, friend or family member has just been diagnosed with mesothelioma, please tell them about the Mesothelioma Victims Center. The Mesothelioma Victims Center web site is located at Http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter. Com. Anyone wishing more information can call the Mesothelioma Victims Center anytime at 866-714-6466.

Often overlooked and underserved by social organizations, women and children are disproportionately impacted by substance abuse and addiction. This black-tie affair will take place at the Hilton Short Hills hotel in Short Hills, NJ at 6:30 p. m.

Bridgewater, NJ (PRWEB) October 29, 2005

Often overlooked and underserved by social organizations, women and children are disproportionately impacted by substance abuse and addiction. Integrity, recognized as a national leader in providing substance abuse treatment through the Therapeutic Community (TC) model, will launch the dedicated “Initiative for Women & Children” program by hosting two extremely high-profile women of achievement to be honored at the event. Championed by Dr. Theresa Branchek and The Honorable Virginia Newman Littell, Integrity hopes to raise funds and awareness to support this much-needed initiative.

Honoree Dr. Theresa Branchek, CEO of Lundbeck Research USA, Inc. leads the Lundbeck family of companies, specializing in neurology and psychiatry, by developing therapeutics for central nervous system disorders. Heading Lundbeck’s New Jersey based Center of Excellence for Depression and Anxiety providing compounds for the drug development pipeline, Dr. Branchek is dedicated to research that helps to improve lives and support the advancement of science. Through her work and by serving on various scientific review panels for the National Institute of Health and the National Institute of Drug Abuse, Dr. Theresa Branchek’s experience and expertise has made her research and implementation invaluable. A community leader and a mother of three, Dr. Branchek is committed to initiatives that support family, education, and mental health.

Honoree Virginia Newman Littell, former Chairwoman of the New Jersey Republican Committee, is founder of Ginnie’s House, a child advocacy center that protects children from abuse.

Ms. Littell is highly dedicated to issues supporting women and children, serving as guest speaker for the Whitman Series for Women and acting as the NJ State Senate and national advocate for abused children.

Ms. Littell currently serves on the NJ Hospital Association Board, the American Hospital Association Board and its Drug & Alcohol Committee, St. Claire’s Hospital Board and the Rutgers Business School Board of Advisors. Her instrumental involvement with and dedication to these and other causes has provided Ms. Littell with a priceless understanding of abused women and children, and has earned her great respect by both Democrats and Republicans alike.

Both Dr. Branchek and Ms. Littell will be leading speakers at Integrity’s “Past, Present, & Future Gala,” where attendees will be given the opportunity to meet Integrity members whose lives have been changed by the program and are now helping others to succeed, including some members of the Integrity staff. Some members will tell their own personal stories of how Integrity is making a life-changing, sometimes life-saving difference to them.

“This groundbreaking event will not only be a tribute to the many women and children affected by substance abuse, but also a celebration of their lives. By providing this underappreciated group of individuals a safe haven, they will finally be able to leave their troubled past behind them, create a brand new start, and look forward to a bright and encouraging future. Please join me at Integrity’s ‘Past, Present, & Future Gala,’ to help raise funds and awareness for these often unseen victims of substance abuse,” said David H. Kerr, Founder and President of Integrity.

Scrubdude. com is a division of Total ImageWorks, Inc. (www. totalimageworks. com); an Indianapolis based custom apparel embellisher and uniform distributor. According to Jeff Dunlap, Total ImageWorks’ president, “By launching this new inventory centric marketplace, scrubs purchasers are now able to select from thousands of style, color, and size combinations representing the entire Cherokee product line. In the past, online medical uniform purchasers were limited to relatively few styles and sizes based on limited online store inventories. This often left consumers unable to find they item they needed, or with intolerable back order times.” Dunlap went on to say, “With our innovative new inventory management system we have solved this problem for consumers.”

According to company officials, the online inventory scorecard provides the current availability levels for approximately 2500 different apparel style, color, and size combinations. The inventory scorecard brakes down results by garment type – pants, tops, and jackets – and provides consumers with a numeric indicator of product availability. ScrubDude. com’s stated goal is to have at least 90% of its product line available for purchase in every size and color available for an apparel item. The current inventory scorecard is 90.6%. In addition, ScrubDude. com offers nearly 7,500 other Cherokee scrub items that are available online, but not a part of the inventory scorecard due to their seasonal or limited nature. Each item for sale at the online store, whether an inventory scorecard item or a limited availability item, also shows its current warehouse inventory level.

ScrubDude. com collaborated with Cherokee Scrubs’ parent company Strategic Distribution, L. P. of Pacoima, CA (www. cherokeeuniforms. com) to make this technology possible. Under this arrangement, Strategic Distribution provides current inventory availability to ScrubDude. com so that consumers can purchase every item available from Cherokee’s warehouse inventory.

“Until now, the online medical uniform and scrub market space has been filled by brick and mortar retailers trying to increase their traditional sales. As a result they have been forced to carry multiple brands, but only a limited number of styles, colors, and prints from each manufacturer,” stated Dunlap. “With the online stores mirroring the middle of the road products of a multi-line vendor, consumers were left with a very limited selection to choose from, or alternatively, a long wait time for special ordered items. By focusing exclusively on one manufacturer – Cherokee Scrubs – we are able to offer every style they make, in every color, size, and print available.”

ScrubDude. com was founded in 2005 and is a division of Total ImageWorks, Inc. More information about ScrubDude. com is available at www. scrubdude. com. Total ImageWorks, Inc is a privately held Delaware Corporation that operates numerous business ventures. In addition to ScrubDude. com, Total ImageWorks, Inc., operates a number of private label online uniform and scrub shops on behalf of hospitals for use by their employees. These online shops allow employees to purchase uniforms and scrubs by payroll deduction as well as credit cards. If the hospital enforces a color and/or style dress code, these private label online shops can limit employees’ selections based on that dress code.

Accordant Health Services Achieves Profitability

Accordant Health Services Achieves Profitability:

Proven Disease Management Model Drives Sustainable Financial Strength Â· New Contracts Drive Company Growth Â· CEO Schelhammer on Panel at JPMorgan H&Q Healthcare Conference, January 7, 2002

(PRWEB) January 20, 2002

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

GREENSBORO, N. C. - January 2002 - Building for six years on its core business model of population-based disease management (DM) services for a constellation of complex, chronic diseases and capitalizing on health plan receptivity, Accordant Health Services (AHS) announces it reached profitability as of October 2001, posting positive cash flow and profitability for the full Q4 2001.

"Accordant's underlying patient-centric DM model is vigorous and sustainable, powered by proven methodologies and documented value," says Steve Schelhammer, president and CEO of Accordant. "As a profitable company with very strong cash reserves, Accordant is positioned for continued leadership as it pioneers the next generation of DM."

Accordant prides itself on organic, self-funded growth following the February 2000 $14 million private equity placement led by J. P. Morgan Partners. Bruce Crosby of J. P. Morgan Partners comments, "Led by its strong senior management team, Accordant has continued to solidify its position as one of the leading disease management companies in the industry. Accordant's recent announcements regarding new contracts and impressive disease management outcomes illustrate its leadership position. We believe that Accordant will continue to fulfill a much-needed role in our healthcare system by providing exemplary, value-added disease management services on behalf of patients, payers and physicians."

Schelhammer is participating on the Disease Management - The Next Generation of Medical Management Panel at the 20th Annual Healthcare Conference hosted by JPMorgan H&Q, January 7-10, 2002, in San Francisco, Calif. The JPMorgan H&Q Healthcare conference is the leading financial services-sponsored healthcare conference covering all key sectors of the healthcare industry including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical supplies and devices, hospital management, long-term care, managed care and drug distribution.

Market Expansion

Tom Frosheiser, Accordant Chief Financial Officer, states, "Our profitable status is indicative of the success of the company, its rock solid position and prospects for sustained growth. Over the past six years, Accordant has invested considerable time and resources to establish the requisite infrastructure and intellectual property to meet the increased demand in the DM marketplace."

Accordant programs have exceeded the expectations of early health plan adopters, many of which have significantly expanded their contractual relationships with Accordant and fueled the development of new programs and services.

"An expanded relationship with Humana dwarfs the scope of the original contract," says Frosheiser. "In 1998, Humana shared our commitment to population-based DM, and the recent contract expansion is testimony to the success of the program." He also points to the addition in Q4 2001 of a fourth Blues plan to Accordant's customer base as further demonstration of market acceptance.

Buoyed by demand for increased services with the addition of six new managed care contracts signed in the past eight months, Accordant will expand its service offerings and expects to increase its workforce by 25 percent or more. "Accordant has successfully found the necessary combination of price, value and corresponding cost structure to ensure continued profitable growth. We expect our revenues to triple by next year, with two thirds of that target already under contract," adds Frosheiser.

Accordant Program Evaluation Methodologies Earn Industry Recognition

Another key driver of business development is the unveiling of Accordant program evaluation methodologies which advance scientifically grounded clinical/financial formulas to document disease management outcomes and value. Pioneering these new methodologies, which drew industry acclaim at a recent Disease Management Association of America (DMAA) conference, Accordant has established its leadership role in refining the standardization of DM methodologies and reporting measurements.

According to David Krause, senior economic analyst at Accordant, "When current clients and potential customers see these methodologies, they recognize the intrinsic value of the Accordant approach and tell us they would like to see more reporting using these techniques."

Krause credits these methodologies for analyzing DM outcomes as an important factor in business expansion. "People with complex chronic diseases are often the sickest patients and account for the largest healthcare plan expenditures. Accordant programs generate demonstrable outcomes using methodological rigor that combines traditional financial and clinical epidemiological concepts and tools. This rigor adds further credibility to our demonstrated outcomes and results."

These methodologies are elevating the understanding of DM outcomes to a new level of sophistication and reliability and are stimulating greater acceptance of Accordant's DM programs by MCO customers nationwide. "Accordant continues to generate and document cost efficiencies for health plans accompanied by strong patient satisfaction levels. This is a powerful combination that transforms skeptics into believers," concludes Krause.

Leaders with Vision

The Accordant management team has carefully steered the company, bringing it to a profitable status. Schelhammer credits senior staff members, acknowledging their dedication to customer centricity and their seasoned business acumen.

"We are reaping the benefits that derive from a well-run team that meets business challenges with viable solutions for near - and long-term success," asserts Schelhammer. "Our disciplined approach has led to enhanced corporate positioning and impressive growth opportunities. The entire organization works collaboratively to meet clearly defined fiscal goals while addressing the ongoing needs of Accordant's patient populations.

"Accordant leadership is committed to furthering the influence of the DM industry as it partners with the managed care community to improve patient health," concludes Schelhammer.

Accordant, based in Greensboro, N. C., focuses on assisting patients who have complex chronic diseases with the goal of improving clinical, patient satisfaction, and cost-of-care outcomes. The company relies on its expert "Tele-Web" system that integrates Internet and call-center technologies to enable flexible, intelligent and customized information sharing among patients, providers and health plans.

Adaptive Marketing LLC Announces the Launch of Home Savings Mall

Home Savings Mall, a membership discount program by Adaptive Marketing, provides members solutions to save on common home needs.

Norwalk, CT (PRWEB) May 29, 2008

High gas prices are only one of the many symptoms of the tough economic climate the country is facing. With energy, food, and healthcare prices all on the rise and salaries basically stagnant or rising at less than the inflation rate, many families are feeling the stress. With all these families in mind, Adaptive Marketing LLC (http://www. adaptivemarketing. com/about_bp. asp) has created Home Savings Mall (http://www. homesavingsmall-program. com/) (SM), a new discount program that allows members to save up to 30% on home and auto needs.

Members can take advantage of the discount benefits of HomeSavingsMall (http://www. homesavingsmall-program. com/800-544-1528_HomeSavingsMall. html) to cut costs on everyday needs from the family, from new bedding for the kids' room to new storage items for the garage or decorations for the next family gathering.

Lawn care maintenance, for instance, is one addition to the list of household expenses during the upcoming summer season. Families can rely on Home Savings Mall (http://www. truste. org/ivalidate. php? companyName=Adaptive%20Marketing%20LLC&sealid=101) to save money on those needs or on previously planned summer projects, even in the face of higher prices. Some useful money-savings tips to keep in mind this summer are:

-- Lawn maintenance. With gas prices expected to continue soaring this summer, just filling up the lawnmower every two or three weeks will put a little bigger dent in the household budget. Finding ways to save money on motor oil, lawnmower blades and repair work -- even bags or tarps to haul away grass clippings -- can help offset the rising fuel costs.

-- Air conditioners. Before running out to buy a new window air-conditioning unit, check and rinse the filters. Clean them well, put them back in place, and try them out for a few days. Do the same with the filters on central air-conditioning systems.

-- Beautifying projects. Paint is a powerful tool to revamp the look of the house, inside and out, without breaking the bank. Add a fresh coat of paint to the window frames and the main door, using the same color or a totally different one, for a fresh and renovated look.

-- Deck protection. The beginning of summer is the perfect time to clean, repair and reseal an outdoor deck. Sweep the entire deck, and remove the stains and mildew accumulated during the winter. Then check for wobbly or broken rails or for popped nails in the surface, and make all minor repairs yourself. Do a thorough cleaning to save some money on staining chemicals, but make sure to apply a coat of quality sealer, one that will protect the deck all the way until next summer.

Consumers can enjoy significant, year-round savings and tips on decorating, remodeling needs, home improvement and much more for any room of the house. Savings are always welcomed, especially when the entire family can enjoy the benefits of the discounts, reports Home Savings Mall (http://www. homesavingsmall. com/HSA/Page/Help/Faq. aspx#2286).

About HomeSavingsMall:
Home Savings Mall is a leading membership discount program offered by Adaptive Marketing LLC. Headquartered in Norwalk, Conn., Adaptive Marketing is a category leader in membership programs, bringing value direct to consumers through an array of benefits in healthcare, discounts, security, personal property and personals. Members may access their benefits at HomeSavingsMall. com (http://www. homesavingsmall. com). With broad online and offline distribution capabilities, Adaptive Marketing offers its corporate client partners effective tools to enhance market presence, strengthen customer affinity and generate additional value through programs such as HomeSavingsMall.
