Keeping Teen Drivers Safe

Travelers is Committed to Keeping Teen Drivers Safe

Rob Willsey, Travelers Personal Insurance Research, Serving on Conn. Governor's Teen Driving Task Force

HARTFORD, Conn.--March 31, 2008--Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for U.S. teens. With the high number of teen driving deaths, keeping teen drivers safe is a priority for Travelers. Through the appointment of Rob Willsey, second vice president, Travelers Personal Insurance Research, to the Connecticut Governor's Teen Driving Task Force, the company is actively involved in improving the state's teen driving legislation. Willsey is joined on the task force by representatives from government, law enforcement, medicine, driver education and school administration as well as parents who have lost teen drivers in fatal accidents.

"At Travelers, our business is understanding the nature of risk and helping our customers stay safe," says Willsey. "I'm committed to helping the task force develop effective strategies to control the risks that accompany teen driving and implementing legislation that will save teen lives."

Travelers has been long dedicated to educating the public on safe driving. The company has partnered with Connecticut Public Television to fund several documentaries on safe driving, most recently "Teens Behind the Wheel." The documentary is a valuable resource to open a dialogue between parents and teens about risky driving behavior as well as a tool for teens to improve their driving skills.

"Having Rob on the task force has been an asset. He brings a real-world perspective about the nature of risks and how they are measured," says Robert M. Ward, Commissioner of the state Department of Motor Vehicles. "He has provided insight to the many discussions we've had about risks and teens."

The task force was formed last year following a surge of accident-related teen deaths. Willsey and the task force have been charged with examining laws related to teen driving and developing new ways to raise awareness among teens and their parents about critical safety issues. Specifically, the group is re-examining penalties associated with violations with which teens are frequently charged; creating partnerships statewide to broadcast the message of teen driving safety to both parents and teens; and developing a framework for making the new strategies work effectively. Recommendations are due to Governor Rell in May.

Continuing Education Scholarship Recognizes Non-Traditional Learners

Newly Established Continuing Education Scholarship Recognizes Needs of Non-Traditional Learners

Destiny Solutions Inc. Announces First Annual Scholarship for Continuing Education Students

Louisiana, New Orleans  -  March 26, 2008 -- Destiny Solutions Inc., creators of the first strategic continuing education business solution, announced at the 93rd Annual University Continuing Education Association (UCEA) conference that they will give continuing education students throughout Canada and the U.S. a chance to win a $2,500 scholarship.

The Destiny OneCE Scholarship is available to any non-traditional learner currently enrolled in a course or a program through the continuing education division of a Canadian- or American-accredited college or university. Non-traditional students tend to be 25 years of age or older, maintain part-time enrollment and, according to The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), have at least one or more of the following characteristics: financially independent, delayed enrollment, works full-time, has dependents, single parent or no high school diploma.

"Continuing education contributes in a large way to people's lives by enabling lifelong learning, which helps people feel good about themselves and do well in society," said Shaul Kuper, CEO of Destiny Solutions. "We created this scholarship to help make continuing education more accessible and give a non-traditional student the ability to advance."

Non-traditional students make up 89 percent of undergraduates at two-year public and private colleges, 57 percent of undergraduates at four-year public colleges, and 50 percent of undergraduates at four-year private colleges, according to the University Continuing Education Association. The Destiny OneCE Scholarship is distinctive because there are few scholarships devoted specifically to non-traditional students engaged in continuing education, and not all employers offer financial assistance for professional development.

Recent data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) shows 54 percent of adults participate in lifelong learning through the workplace or an education system. NCES also found the median out-of-pocket expense for non-traditional students enrolled part-time in a college or university degree or certificate program was $1,144.

Often, non-academic barriers prevent students from continuing their education. A national study found non-traditional students have lower completion rates than traditional students, and are less likely to be enrolled after five years. Through its annual scholarship, Destiny Solutions Inc. hopes to make life a little easier for a student, Kuper said.

The deadline to submit applications for the Destiny OneCE Scholarship is 5:00pm on July 31, 2008. Destiny Solutions Inc. will announce the scholarship winner in August. For application terms, visit www.DestinySolutions.com/DestinyScholarship.pdf.

Utilizing Retasure for Retinal Imaging Assessment

Digital Healthcare Announces DiabetesAmerica to Utilize Retasure for Retinal Imaging Assessment

Digital Healthcare, a Wake Forest, NC company specializing in sight-saving retinal risk assessment, announced today that DiabetesAmerica, a group of comprehensive diabetes management Health Centers based in Houston, Texas has selected the Retasure solution to provide retinal imaging risk assessment. DiabetesAmerica specializes in helping individuals live with diabetes. Their medical professionals promote wellness through a variety of personalized treatment and educational programs--from medical treatment to diabetes education, nutritional counseling, exercise programs and lifestyle instruction.

Wake Forest, NC  -  March 25, 2008 -- Digital Healthcare, a Wake Forest, NC company specializing in sight-saving retinal risk assessment, announced today that DiabetesAmerica, a group of comprehensive diabetes management Health Centers based in Houston, Texas has selected the Retasure solution to provide retinal imaging risk assessment.

DiabetesAmerica specializes in helping individuals live with diabetes. Their medical professionals promote wellness through a variety of personalized treatment and educational programs--from medical treatment to diabetes education, nutritional counseling, exercise programs and lifestyle instruction. Five of their physicians have been recognized nationally by the Diabetes Physician Recognition Program for providing outstanding diabetes care to their patients. DiabetesAmerica currently has health centers in Houston, Dallas, Corpus Christi and San Antonio, and will be adding additional facilities across Texas and in other states in 2008.

"We are proud to have DiabetesAmerica as our latest client," said Scott Sanner, Senior Vice President, North American Operations of Digital Healthcare. "They are an organization that prides itself on providing comprehensive services to their patients. Our Retasure solution addresses an unmet need for their patients and is an excellent compliment to their patient-focused mission."

"Our focus is to provide our patients the tools needed to self-manage their diabetes and become healthier and more independent," said Wendy Hawkins, MD, Director of Clinical Affairs for DiabetesAmerica. "Diabetics have a high risk for diabetic retinopathy and blindness and the Retasure solution will increase our ability to assess our patients' total health."

The FDA-approved and HEDIS compliant Retasure program provides a simple, affordable, and non-invasive solution that allows physicians to capture their patients' retinal images during a three to five minute procedure without eye dilation. Images are transmitted over a secure, HIPAA compliant network to an accredited reading center. A state-licensed and board certified ophthalmologist reviews the images and results are returned to the original physician within 72 hours. The simplicity of the assessment process is unique in the market and addresses a previously un-met need for one of the nation's largest public health issues.

There are an estimated 21 million diabetic patients in the US, but only about half have any retinal assessments, despite a high risk of diabetic retinopathy. The National Eye Institute indicates diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness among working age American adults. More than a million patients worldwide have received a retinal risk assessment using Digital Healthcare software.

About Digital Healthcare
Digital Healthcare is the global leader in retinal risk assessment. They are the world's leading provider of care management programs for diabetic retinopathy. Their award-winning MS-HUG technology is used by leading hospitals and research centers including University Hospitals Case Medical Center at Case Western Reserve University, The Wilmer Eye Institute at The Johns Hopkins University and the United States Military. Digital Healthcare's Retasure solution offers several advantages for primary care and endocrinologist physicians and their patients: It can be operated by non-clinicians; it is non-invasive and requires no dilation; it obtains exceptionally high-quality digital images of the retina using a simple-to-operate fundus camera; it returns results quickly to the ordering physicians; and it encourages patient compliance for retinal evaluation and comprehensive eye examinations.

Class Action Suit Against MoneyGram International, Inc.

Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins LLP Files Class Action Suit Against MoneyGram International, Inc.

SAN DIEGO-- March 28, 2008 --Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins LLP ("Coughlin Stoia") (http://www.csgrr.com/cases/moneygram/) today announced that a class action has been commenced on behalf of an institutional investor in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota on behalf of purchasers of MoneyGram International, Inc. ("MoneyGram") (NYSE:MGI) common stock during the period between January 24, 2007 and January 14, 2008 (the "Class Period").

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than 60 days from today. If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact plaintiff's counsel, Darren Robbins of Coughlin Stoia at 800/449-4900 or 619/231-1058, or via e-mail at djr@csgrr.com. If you are a member of this class, you can view a copy of the complaint as filed or join this class action online at http://www.csgrr.com/cases/moneygram/. Any member of the purported class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.

The complaint charges MoneyGram and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. MoneyGram, through its subsidiaries, provides payment services in the United States, as well as through a network of retail agents in North America, Latin America, western Europe, eastern Europe, Africa, India, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East.

The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants issued materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business and financial results related to its investments. As a result of defendants' false statements, MoneyGram stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period, trading in the $28-$30 per share range during most of the Class Period.

On January 14, 2008, the Company announced that it had completed a valuation of its investment portfolio and had experienced additional net unrealized losses of $571 million as of September 30, 2007, bringing its cumulative net unrealized losses to $860 million. In addition, the Company announced it had needed to obtain amendments and waivers under its credit agreements. On this news, MoneyGram's stock declined to as low as $5.66 per share before closing at $6.15 per share on January 15, 2008, on volume of 19 million shares, a one-day decline of 50%.

Later, on March 25, 2008, the Company publicly disclosed that the SEC had launched an investigation into its financial statements, reporting and disclosures related to its investment portfolio.

According to the complaint, the true facts, which were known by the defendants but concealed from the investing public during the Class Period, were as follows: (a) the Company lacked requisite internal controls to ensure that the reserves for the Company's investments in asset-backed securities were adequate, and, as a result, the Company's projections and reported results issued during the Class Period were based upon defective assumptions and/or manipulated facts; and (b) the Company concealed the extent of its potential losses arising from its exposure to asset-backed securities containing uncollectible debt.

Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of MoneyGram common stock during the Class Period (the "Class"). The plaintiff is represented by Coughlin Stoia, which has expertise in prosecuting investor class actions and extensive experience in actions involving financial fraud.

Coughlin Stoia, a 190-lawyer firm with offices in San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Boca Raton, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and Atlanta, is active in major litigations pending in federal and state courts throughout the United States and has taken a leading role in many important actions on behalf of defrauded investors, consumers, and companies, as well as victims of human rights violations. The Coughlin Stoia Web site (http://www.csgrr.com) has more information about the firm.

April 1 Asbestos Awareness Day

Mayor to Declare April 1 Asbestos Awareness Day in Montgomery

Mayor Bobby Bright will sign a proclamation declaring April 1 as Asbestos Awareness Day in Montgomery in a ceremony at his office Friday, March 28, 2008, at 10 a.m.

Montgomery, Ala.  - March 25, 2008 -- Mayor Bobby Bright will sign a proclamation declaring April 1 as Asbestos Awareness Day in Montgomery in a ceremony at his office Friday, March 28, 2008, at 10 a.m. This proclamation will go hand-in-hand with a senate resolution declaring April 1 National Asbestos Awareness Day, and April 1-7 Asbestos Awareness Week. Asbestos Awareness Day is a project of the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization.

Locally, Asbestos Awareness Day strives to educate the public about the ongoing dangers of asbestos exposure, which can lead to asbestos-related disease such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and malignant mesothelioma.

Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer affecting the mesothelium, or the protective lining around our internal organs. It most commonly affects the linings of the lungs, abdomen and heart. Unfortunately, many symptoms of mesothelioma (shortness of breath, severe cough, chest pain) do not appear for 20 or more years, making it difficult to diagnose early. For this reason, the cancer is often diagnosed in the later stages, making it difficult for proper treatment and survival.

Asbestos has been used in a wide range of building materials, including roofing, insulation, ceiling tiles, and sheet rock. For this reason, it is especially important to identify any potential asbestos hazards before engaging in home improvement projects.

In the U.S., current statistics show 2,000-3,000 people are diagnosed with malignant pleural mesothelioma each year. However, 10,000 Americans die each year from all asbestos-related diseases, according to statistics compiled by the Environmental Working Group. Mesothelioma was not tracked as a specific cause of death by federal health officials until 1999, so actual totals for mesothelioma may be much higher.

It is the primary goal of MyMeso.org to raise awareness in the public about mesothelioma and related asbestos diseases, to provide a forum for those affected by mesothelioma, and to create a network of information and resources expanding hope for a cure. MyMeso.org is a public awareness and community outreach effort of Beasley, Allen, Methvin, Portis & Miles, P.C.

Purchasing Card Programs Value Extended With Payment Plus

Payment Plus Introduced at U.S. Bank Conference

Financial Supply Chain Conference

MINNEAPOLIS-- March 27, 2008 --U.S. Bank Corporate Payment Systems has introduced U.S. Bank Access® Online Payment Plus. The new product was introduced to treasury managers, corporate controllers and purchasing card program managers at the Financial Supply Chain Conference in Anaheim, Calif. March 4-6. Attendees responded favorably to the new product launch, which included presentations by Kris Koch of Genuine Parts Company, one of the first U.S. Bank clients to implement the product.

Koch presented the results of his beta test of the product, which included only the SP Richards division of Genuine Parts. During his presentation, Koch noted that "We were looking for a way to increase control with vendors where we make infrequent, high dollar purchases, while maintaining the data and process integrity of our AP system. Payment Plus gives us all that capability as well as easy reconciliation." Koch estimates that total transactions through Payment Plus will increase to at least $50 million in 2008. The company plans to expand the program to remaining Genuine Parts subsidiaries.

Payment Plus extends the value of purchasing card programs by allowing organizations to further automate their accounts payable business processes through diminishing paper, increasing controls, reducing risk and facilitating working capital optimization. Payment Plus accommodates payment for purchases with high control requirements such as purchase orders, receipts and invoices. Payment Plus leverages existing client systems (such as order, receipt, inventory, fixed assets, accounts payable, etc.) to generate approved payments that may then be placed on purchasing card accounts.

"This is a natural extension of the commercial payment products we currently bring to our clients," said Jeff Pape, senior vice president of product management for U.S. Bank Corporate Payment Systems. "Our integration of this product within our existing electronic access tool allows for straight through processing and automated supplier notification, a distinct advantage over our competitors, and one that our clients have been very quick to recognize and embrace."

U.S. Bank has processed hundreds of payment instruction files through Payment Plus, including the largest single transaction of $1.55 million.

U.S. Bancorp (NYSE: USB), with $238 billion in assets, is the parent company of U.S. Bank, the 6th largest commercial bank in the United States. The company operates 2,518 banking offices and 4,867 ATMs, and provides a comprehensive line of banking, brokerage, insurance, investment, mortgage, trust and payment services products to consumers, businesses and institutions.

Using credit cards for purchases is great as long as you are careful about credit card security. When purchasing from a web site for the first time it is better to use a Gold Credit Card or Platinum Credit Card because of the increased security.

Apply For Your Own Credit Card Online

Build Your Own Credit Card Offer Then Apply for it Online

The redesigned search engine at www.FastCreditCardOffer.com now allows consumers to build their ideal credit card and compare only the card offers that match every one of their personal requirements. This new method of shopping for credit cards online has proven to be faster and less frustrating than the more traditional way of browsing credit cards by category.

San Antonio, Texas  -  September 12  - FastCreditCardOffer.com recently redesigned their search engine to give credit card seekers more control over the cards they are shown. Visitors now have the ability to build their ideal credit card and compare only the card offers that are a perfect match. This new search method saves both time and frustration by automatically filtering out unwanted offers.

Previously, credit card offers could only be browsed by category and while that method of credit card shopping is still popular it can be time consuming to sort through the details of each offer. "We wanted to give our visitors a faster way to get what they want," said Brandi Young, the founder of FastCreditCardOffer.com.

Faster indeed. Katherine Dietz, a diehard internet user that admits to shopping for just about everything online, took a test-run of FastCreditCardOffer.com's search page and was presented with 4 card offers that did in fact have every feature she had entered. At that point it was just a matter of reading the highlights of each credit card offer before selecting her favorite and clicking over to an online application. "I just entered a few particulars that are important to me and I got a list of credit card offers that met all of what I entered."

Katherine's co-worker, Paul, also tried the new search engine stating, "It's like building my own credit card with the exact terms I want and finding out instantly if such a card exists. I switch credit cards every 6 months to a year and this was the first time I felt certain I was getting the best credit card available."

When asked why the new search form is so successful, Brandi explained, "It's hard to beat a credit card offer you build yourself. I think as long as we keep looking for new ways to help our visitors find exactly what they want they will keep recommending FastCreditCardOffer.com as a valuable resource."

FastCreditCardOffer.com has also revamped the way search results are ranked. Credit card offers with more of the most commonly desired features rank higher and will show up at the top of the list. The goal of the new ranking system is to give visitors more than they expect by presenting the best credit card offers first.

FastCreditCardOffer.com is a website originally established to provide an alternative to the paper credit card offers that come in the mail by giving consumers a way to find even better credit card offers online.

Home Loan Expert Says Getting Home Loan Not Impossible

Getting a Home Loan is Not Impossible Says a Home Loan Expert; and Don't be Frightened by What You Read and Hear

Despite the grim news you hear and read daily about the mortgage crisis, obtaining a home loan to purchase or refinance a home is still possible, says a home loan expert.

Studio City, CA  -  September 27 -- Despite the grim news you hear and read daily about the mortgage crisis, obtaining a home loan to purchase or refinance a home is still possible, says a home loan expert.

These powerful words come from Victor Benoun, mortgage broker veteran and President of The Mortgage Source, Inc.

"If you pick up a newspaper or turn on the television, you are overwhelmed with bad news about purchasing and financing a home," Benoun says.

He goes on to say that as many as 2 million current homeowners with adjustable rate mortgages need to refinance but have done nothing, because they are confused.

"I think a lot of people want to refinance their home loans but just don't know what to do. The fact of the matter that lenders are still lending. Some larger mortgage companies have been hurt by the mortgage meltdown,and that's what you are hearing so much about, but that does not mean the consumer can't get a home loan and at a great rate."

Benoun is available for comment on:

*What caused the mortgage meltdown
*What programs have been changed or eliminated
*How to guarantee a smooth transaction

$30 Million Mesothelioma Lawyer Jury Verdict Believed Largest

Mesothelioma Lawyers in New Jersey Announce $30.3 Million Jury Verdict Believed to Be the State's Largest

Mesothelioma lawsuit; family members' 'take home' asbestos fibers and 50-year-old victim's own college summer employment at GM facilities in Bloomfield and Englewood, New Jersey caused cancer that killed rising-star advertising executive, according to mesothelioma lawyers Levy Phillips & Konigsberg, LLP.

Hackensack, NJ (PRWEB) March 16, 2008 -- Deadly "take home" asbestos fibers on work clothes his father and brother wore while employed at GM parts warehouses in Bloomfield and Englewood, and exposure to the carcinogenic material during his own GM summer employment caused the death of a 50-year-old rising star advertising executive, a Bergen County jury ruled yesterday. The wife and three daughters of Mark Buttitta, who died four days before Christmas 2002, will receive $30.3 million in what is believed to be New Jersey's largest verdict for a mesothelioma lawsuit, the New Jersey mesothelioma lawyers of Levy Phillips & Konigsberg, LLP announced.

Bloomfield born and raised Buttitta's advertising clients had included Coca Cola and Continental and Northwest Airlines before he died a few days after his 50th birthday. His father, Frank Buttitta, Sr., and brother, Frank Jr., unknowingly brought home asbestos fibers on their work clothes contributed to the deadly cancer, the experts testified at trial. The elder Buttitta was a lifelong GM employee, working as a parts picker at the GM warehouses, handling brakes and clutches made with asbestos, according to mesothelioma lawyer Moshe Maimon, of Levy Phillips & Konigsberg, LLP, lead trial counsel in the 15-day trial before New Jersey Superior Court Judge Brian R. Martinotti.

In addition to the senior Buttitta's lifelong full-time employment at the GM warehouse, the victim and his brother, Frank Jr., had worked summers during college at the facility -- also as parts pickers. All three Buttittas would wear the same work clothes for days at a time, Maimon said, "bringing home cancer-causing asbestos fibers every day from work, unknowingly letting the microscopic fibers fragments waft throughout their home and settle. Worse yet, as a young boy Mark would sit on his dad's lap -- or next to him on the sofa -- every night to watch TV, and was innocently exposed to asbestos."

After high school Mark Buttitta attended Colgate University, eventually residing with his wife and three daughters in Glen Ridge, New Jersey. He was a vice president of MediaVest when first diagnosed with Mesothelioma in 2001 and died a year later, Maimon said.

In 2003, Buttitta's family established the Mark Buttitta Memorial Foundation for Research for the "Prevention, Treatment and Cure of Mesothelioma," according to the foundation's Web site http://www.markbuttittafoundation.com/.

"While most Mesothelioma victims are employed in the construction or automotive manufacturing industries, Mark did not fit this typical profile," the foundation's home page noted. On Saturday, March 8th the foundation is holding a wine tasting and silent auction at the Time-Life Building in Manhattan.

"Mark Buttitta's sad case shows convincingly how blue-collar workers from the automotive, construction and other asbestos-using industries are not the only potential victims of mesothelioma," Maimon said. "In Bloomfield, Englewood and all across New Jersey, men and woman who wouldn't know a brake shoe from a horseshoe can be struck down by this horrible disease decades later from simply living with someone who contacted asbestos in his daily occupation. In Mark Buttitta's case we were able to get justice for him and his young family."

Maimon's co-counsel in the mesothelioma lawsuit were Richard Cattenacci, Esq. of Connell Foley in Livingston, and Donald MacLaughlin, Esq. of Ridgewood.

One Million Continuous Glucose Monitoring Sensors Sold

Medtronic Announces Sales Milestone of One Million Continuous Glucose Monitoring Sensors Worldwide

Milestone highlights the growth and increasing adoption of continuous glucose monitoring

MINNEAPOLIS- March 24, 2008 -Medtronic, Inc. (NYSE: MDT) announced today that it has reached the milestone of more than one million sensors for its continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) products manufactured and sold. The recipient of the milestone one millionth sensor was Tim Parker of San Jose, Calif. Parker, diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 11 years ago, has used CGM therapy for two years to help him manage his diabetes.

"Today we salute Tim, thousands of patients like him and all of the Medtronic employees who have contributed to the success of our CGM technology," said Chris O'Connell, president of the Diabetes business at Medtronic. "Medtronic pioneered CGM 10 years ago, and this important milestone demonstrates our momentum and clear industry leadership in the exciting new field of continuous glucose monitoring."

Parker relies on his ParadigmT REAL-Time System, and says it is fundamental to managing his diabetes effectively. Prior to adopting integrated insulin pump and CGM therapy, Parker - like many people with diabetes - experienced unexplained blood glucose excursions that worried him. "I would go to bed with my blood glucose levels at 110 and wake up at 220. What could be happening to my body while I was asleep?" said Parker. Motivated to keep his blood glucose in check, he began researching options and learned about Medtronic's CGM products on the Internet.

After receiving a prescription from his physician, Parker quickly experienced the value of having an integrated approach to his diabetes.

"When I first started using CGM, I was amazed at all the information I had at my fingertips. I could see how food, exercise and sleep affected my blood glucose levels day and night, which is something I wasn't able to do before," he recalled. "CGM gives me powerful information that allows me to take the right steps to better manage my diabetes, and provides alarms to help me avoid dangerous lows that I often cannot detect on my own."

As the pioneer in glucose sensing technology, Medtronic has more than a decade of CGM experience, and is leading the technology revolution in diabetes care by providing patients with new levels of protection, confidence and freedom in managing their diabetes.

The Paradigm REAL-Time Insulin Pump and Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System is the world's first insulin pump with REAL-Time continuous glucose monitoring. The Paradigm REAL-Time System has all of the benefits of CGM plus the added value of precise insulin delivery through the use of insulin pump therapy. The GuardianT REAL-Time System is a stand-alone CGM device without insulin delivery. Both devices are available for adult patients as well as children ages seven to 17.

The Paradigm REAL-Time System relays glucose readings every five minutes from a glucose sensor to the insulin pump, which displays up to 288 readings a day - nearly 100 times more information than three daily fingersticks. Glucose measurements obtained by the sensor are relayed every five minutes and displayed in three-hour and 24-hour trend graphs, as well as arrows to indicate how quickly glucose is moving up or down.

To celebrate Parker's receipt of the one millionth glucose sensor, he will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Medtronic's Diabetes facility located in Northridge, Calif., where he will tour the facility, meet the senior management and engineering teams and see the glucose sensor manufacturing process.

Diabetes Statistics

According to the American Diabetes Association, almost 21 million Americans (seven percent of the population) have the disease. Diabetes affects children and adults, costing the United States more than $174 billion in direct and indirect healthcare expenditures.

I've visited your website...

There's no scam like an old scam. I was almost taken in by this message I received yesterday, but like most scams they almost always do something stupid to tip you off. In this case it was the part about paying me $4,800 a month. That might work for a site that is getting millions of visitors a month, because they will already be making some money, but for smaller sites, it's stupid. If they had said $48 I might have tried it. $480 would have me wondering, but $4,800 is like those Nigerian emails about getting millions. Then I hear that to tap in this money you have to PAY THEM? Yeah, right you morons.

Phone Calling Card Rates Under 1 Cent Per Minute!

New International Phone Cards are cheap and reliable. We've been using 3 different phone cards from Big-Zoo.us for about 3 years now. The service and features have be great and I never think about how much it's costing me to call a client or a tech support line. On hold for 15 minutes? Well that's still annoying, but at least I don't have to pay $5-$10 anymore. My calling rates for domestic US calls are about 3 cents a minute I think, and they have cards now that are as low as 1 cent a minute. Often if you put $20 or more in a card you get a discount so your cost is even lower. http://www.big-zoo.us/

 

We just started using the Champion phone card because it includes a free 800-Number that I can use for my business. Non-US companies can get one of these cards, program it to call their office, and just like that they have a Toll Free Number in the US to give their customers. Calling rates vary by country, but most are very low compared to other services. Don't let the way they display prices fool you. When you see a cost of 0.90 ¢/min, it looks like 90 cents, but it's real .9 cent, or less than one cent per minute. Yeah, that's cheap!

You don't have a cell phone or mobile phone, but you want one. Well now's the time because they are cheaper and better than ever. Check out http://www.cellphones-resource.info/ and find a great deal.

 

I can't believe that email has to suck so bad because of spam! Why can't something be done to keep spammers out and still have email be useful and easy to use? Controlled Access Email thinks they may have the answer...!

Free Lifesaving Diabetic Tools

'Manage Your Diabetes' Brings Free Lifesaving Diabetic Tools Online

New diabetes management center at www.TheBeehive.org includes tools that empower diabetics to take control of their disease using a combination of audio/video storytelling, interactive and personalized content, and practical advice. The new diabetes management center is available in both Spanish and English and can be found at: http://www.thebeehive.org/Templates/Health/DiabetesNoRight.aspx?PageId=1.2.28.70.88.11096

Washington  -  November 30, 2007 -- Diabetes affects more than 20 million Americans, and low-income communities suffer disproportionately high rates of the disease. To address the unique needs of low-income and low-literacy people in managing their diabetes, One Economy Corporation today announced a new online health resource, Manage Your Diabetes, created with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Pioneer Portfolio.

The new Manage Your Diabetes website tools enhance the instructions diabetics receive from doctors and empowers diabetics to take control of their disease, using a combination of audio/video storytelling, interactive and personalized content, and practical advice. The website allows users to customize the content, available in English and Spanish, to fit their specific physical limitations, other medical conditions, and even dietary preferences. Features include:
• Take Your Meds: Learn about diabetes medicines and reading labels, and watch how-to videos.
• Monitoring: Learn the guidelines for and importance of testing for blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol, and keep track of crucial diabetic information with our Blood Sugar Tracker.
• Eat Well: Use audio-enhanced tools to take the mystery out of managing diet.
• Get Moving: Watch videos of patients' strategies for working exercise into their lives.
• Learn the Language: Hear diabetes-related terms commonly used by doctors translated into easy-to-understand language with our audio glossary.

The website also includes information about how to manage diabetes at work, diabetes and your mood, questions to ask your doctor about diabetes, and a helpful Diabetes frequently asked questions (FAQ) section.

"Millions of American families have struggled with the steps that follow a diabetes diagnosis," said Rey Ramsey, chief executive officer of One Economy, "Manage Your Diabetes makes it easier for patients and their families to understand the diagnosis, make a plan for managing the disease, and go on living a full life."

Proper management of diabetes requires constant monitoring, an understanding of healthy diet and exercise, and the ability to comprehend and use often complex medications. The information necessary to succeed is often too confusing and complicated for low-literacy individuals. Literacy, a stronger predicator of health than age, income, employment status, education level, and race, puts the health of approximately 90 million people, primarily low-income and minority individuals, at risk.

This comprehensive online destination for diabetics is one of the many health resources available on One Economy's self-help web portal, the Beehive (www.thebeehive.org.) This multilingual website connects low-income people to information and resources targeting the things that matter most: health, jobs, money, schools, and family. With over 40 local Beehives, cities around the world are benefiting from these tools.

How to Reduce Patient Readmissions

Healthcare Webinar: How to Reduce Patient Readmissions Post-Discharge

Two healthcare executives will describe how their organizations have improved their hospital discharge processes and the impact these changes have had on patient outcomes, satisfaction and readmission rates during the Healthcare Intelligence Network's "Best Practices in Hospital Discharge to Reduce Preventable Readmissions" webinar on October 23, 2007.

Manasquan, NJ October 2 -- According to a report in the American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy, nearly 20 percent of patients suffer adverse events shortly after being discharged from the hospital. Often, such adverse events are preventable. To reduce the number of these events and the readmissions that often result, the patient and/or caregiver must clearly understand and comply with the original hospital discharge instructions, putting much emphasis on the notion of self-care.

Thought leaders from the healthcare industry will describe patient discharge process improvements during Best Practices in Hospital Discharge to Reduce Preventable Readmissions, a webinar from the Healthcare Intelligence Network (HIN) on October 23, 2007 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern.

For webinar details, please visit http://www.hin.com/cgi-local/link/news/pl.cgi?hospdisrel

NEWS FACTS:

Featured Healthcare Experts:
- Nora Baratto, manager of the case management department at St. Peter's Hospital's CHOICES program, Albany, N.Y.
- Michelle M. Berry, director of the Community Alternative Systems Agency (CASA) in Broome County, N.Y.

Webinar Highlights: Their organization's best practices in hospital discharge policies and procedures that have improved this transition in care; assessing and stratifying patients at discharge based on their risk level for readmission and assigning targeted interventions based on those risks; enhancing the communication between providers and patients to improve results; developing patient and caregiver education programs that lead to a clearly understood plan of care; structuring follow-up phone calls and/or home visits to ensure patient compliance; analyzing the impact of changes to hospital discharge procedures; and special considerations for the elderly population during hospital discharge.

Target Audience: CEOs, medical directors, disease management directors, managers and coordinators, health plan executives, care management nurses, discharge planners, quality improvement executives, customer service managers, patient services and patient relations managers and patient advocates.

Webinar Formats: 90-minute interactive webinar on October 23, 2007 includes a 30-minute Q&A; "On-Demand" rebroadcast available October 25, 2007; 90-minute recording on CD-ROM with printed transcript available November 5, 2007. For webinar details, please visit http://www.hin.com/cgi-local/link/news/pl.cgi?hospdisrel

QUOTES ATTRIBUTABLE TO MELANIE MATTHEWS, HIN EXECUTIVE VP AND COO:

"Many problems that occur after a patient is discharged are ultimately preventable. It is crucial that healthcare providers ensure that patients and caregivers comprehend their prescribed hospital discharge plan. As patients transition from a tightly managed care environment to a more self-reliant setting, patient education and doctor-patient communication are key."

Through a U.S. patent-pending business process, the Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Simplified Mortgage permits the current recordable mortgage document to be split into two content pieces. The first piece is a two to three page recordable instrument that contains all information required to create a valid lien and fully comply with the recording requirements of each state. The second piece is a non-recordable supplement that outlines a loan's standard covenants between the lender and borrower.

Lenders have traditionally recorded the entire mortgage document, which typically stretches beyond a dozen pages. By only submitting the recordable instrument using the Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Simplified Mortgage, lenders and borrowers may realize immediate and dramatic cost savings in those states where recordation fees are based on the number of pages recorded.

The non-recordable supplement introduces work flow flexibility as lenders may choose to present the supplement to borrowers at application or prior to closing to inform them of their responsibilities related to the loan and the secured property. The borrower experience is greatly improved as this helps to make the actual closing process faster and less complicated.

The solution further improves the borrower's closing experience by making the recordable instrument and supplement easier to read and understand. The compliance experts at Wolters Kluwer Financial Services built the mortgage content in plain language within both the recordable instrument and the non-recordable supplement while ensuring adherence to regulatory requirements in all 51 U.S. jurisdictions.

"In today's competitive market, lenders are continually seeking innovative ways to bring greater efficiency to the closing process and reduce costs, making home ownership more affordable" said Jason Marx, vice president and general manager, Mortgage, Wolters Kluwer Financial Services. " Lenders understand the importance of remaining focused on the borrower and their needs. The Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Simplified Mortgage helps lenders achieve both goals by streamlining the closing process, reducing costs and improving the closing experience."

Memory Care Community Monitors Location Of Residents

Premier Assisted Living Memory Care Community Uses Solution from Intelligent InSites to Set New Standard in Resident Care and Safety

Real-Time Location Solution Enables Holistic Approach to Care

St. Paul, MN - February 12, 2008 - Pioneering new uses of technology to enhance resident care and service, The Alton Memory Care and Care Suites in St. Paul, Minnesota, today announced it will begin using healthcare's leading real-time location solution from Intelligent InSites when they open their new community next month.

"Our goal is to extend beyond the traditional type of care provided in assisted living and memory care facilities," explains Kim Webster, Director of Senior Care for The Alton. "We have embraced a holistic approach that includes not only excellent healthcare services, but also promotes a higher quality of care through increased resident independence, more staff-resident interaction, and more involvement with the family. We believe technology can play a key role in this. We selected the Intelligent InSites solution because it positively impacts how we provide care and service in so many ways."

The Intelligent InSites solution is a real-time location and communication system that uses small pendants to monitor the location of residents and staff within the community. Each pendant includes a button the residents or staff press should they need assistance. The system includes configurable rules that enable alerts to be routed and, if necessary, automatically escalated to notify the appropriate staff member via their mobile PDA. The tags will also be used for locating equipment within the community.

In addition to location, The Alton will utilize the flexible solution for a variety of other purposes as well, including wireless resident call, wander monitoring, security and access control, mobile alerting, and as their primary staff communication system. The system has also been integrated with their clinical and billing software, Residex, which will enable staff to access a resident's medical information and care plan anywhere in the community with just a few taps on their PDA.

"We love how integrated and expandable the system is. That was a key consideration in making this choice," added Webster. "Our staff can instantly receive resident calls, look up a resident's allergies, communicate with another staff member, and locate a needed piece of equipment via their PDA. It allows a higher level of productivity, which means more time with our residents."

The Alton staff feels that families are an integral part of the team in providing high quality care and service. Information regarding response times to resident calls, activities attended, staff-resident contact time, and the residents' general mobility will be automatically monitored by the Intelligent InSites system. The information can, as appropriate, be shared with families so they can see the types of activities and level of attention their family member is receiving.

"The Alton is a perfect example of how assisted living/memory care and other healthcare organizations are leveraging technology in innovative ways to transform the way care is provided to their residents and patients, while at the same time increasing productivity of their staff," states Mark Rheault, CEO of Intelligent InSites. "We're excited to play a key part in making their vision a reality."

About The Alton Memory Care and Care Suites
Located adjacent to the Wellington Assisted Living in St. Paul's Highland Park area, The Alton Memory Care and Care Suites is designed to provide a person-centered, caring, homelike living environment for the specialized needs and services for residents with memory loss.

Locally owned and operated by Stuart Management Corporation, The Alton is registered with the State of Minnesota as a Housing with Services provider, licensed as a Class F homecare provider, and is an active member of the Minnesota Health and Housing Alliance.

SMS Software Creates Marketing Campaigns

Velti Rolls out Mobile Marketing Platform 4.0 at Mobile World Congress

Mobile Communities, M-Commerce and Personalised Marketing Are Key Enhancements To Class-Leading Mobile Marketing Technology

London, UK, Mar 5th 2008: Velti, (LSE-AIM: VEL), a mobile marketing and advertising technology service provider, launched version 4.0 of its Mobile Marketing Platform (MMP 4.0) at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. This latest version features enhanced advertising and marketing templates enabling Velti's customers to reach consumers through new interactive mobile mediums including mobile communities, games and applications.

Mobile Marketing Platform MMP v4.0 features advertising and marketing templates, enabling users to reach consumers through interactive mobile media including mobile communities, games, and applications. Loyalty schemes, mobile coupons, social networks, and other interactive templates can be designed, deployed, and measured. Software also features Personalization Engine that is capable of retrieving/processing real time data from consumer behavior.

Building on more than seven years of experience in mobile advertising technology development, MMP 4.0 allows advertisers and operators to create campaigns that offer consumers a unique mobile marketing experience rather than simply putting adverts in front of eyeballs.

Loyalty schemes, mobile coupons, social networks and other interactive templates can now be easily designed, deployed and measured giving marketers new ways to reach customers through their mobile phones and other portable devices.

"MMP 4.0 allows companies to bring the mobile phone into the wider marketing mix," says Alexandros Moukas, CEO, Velti. "Rather than just experiment with mobile advertising and marketing, advertisers now have the technology platform to engage with customers in new ways to create brand awareness, build loyalty, offer new content and interact in ways that traditional advertising can not."

Velti's founding principal for its technology platform is to offer enhanced interactivity with end users, taking mobile advertising and marketing beyond the banner ad and other Internet advertising staples.

MMP 4.0 enables advertisers to develop more sophisticated SMS and MMS campaigns offering integration with online games and social networks that allow mobile communication.

MMP 4.0 also includes a new version of the Personalization Engine, capable of retrieving and processing real time data from consumer behaviour resulting in real-time dynamic segmentation and user-targeting. This advanced facility results in phenomenal response rates to campaigns, such as in the campaign developed with mobile operator MTEL on a short code competition led to the country's most successful mobile campaign with over 12.5m messages from a subscriber base of just 4.5m.

Adds Moukas: "Our customer base of global brands, mobile operators and media companies want to reach out to consumers in new and exciting ways.
They're thinking way beyond the banner advert but need a technology and service partner that gives them the platform and the confidence to invest in new mobile campaigns. MMP 4.0 builds on the incredible success story of Velti as a company. As mobile advertising evolves into a crucial part of the marketing mix, Velti will continue to offer customers new and innovative ways to exploit the market to its full potential."

Velti is offering demonstrations of its innovative Mobile Marketing Platform at its booth 7C86 in Hall 7.

Payroll Problems for Small Businesses

ezPaycheck 2008 Takes Sting Out of Payroll Problems for Small Businesses

Easy-to-use and affordable, ezPaycheck is a simple, but effective, payroll accounting software for small businesses and accountants.

Louisville, KY (PRWEB) March 12, 2008 -- Many people who start their own successful companies are intelligent, have field experience and an entrepreneur spirit to get things done. However, when it comes to accounting, and in particular payroll software, they often stumble. That's why Halfpricesoft.com co-founder Dr Ge went to work creating ezPaycheck payroll software, and its latest version, ezPaycheck 2008 payroll software.

"For more than ten years I was a programmer and consultant," says Dr Ge. "During that time I discovered many small business owners often had one thing in common, regardless of their industry: They were afraid to touch new accounting applications and payroll software programs because they were usually too big or too complex for their needs."

With that in mind, Dr Ge went to work on what he calls a simple but effective program that's easy-to-use and geared to small business payroll or payroll tax issues. He also adds that many payroll accounting software programs are bloated with features that the small business users don't need and never use.

Not only does this make the payroll accounting software bulky to operate, explains Dr Ge, but it also drives up the price of the payroll accounting software. For example, some payroll programs can retail for around $700 compared to his latest version ezPaycheck 2008 payroll software for just under $100. For many small business users, they simply don't need many of the functions associated with such larger payroll accounting programs.

"Complex payroll accounting software does have its place to be sure," Dr Ge admits. "But with most payroll software today it's almost as if the user needs an I.T. or accounting degree to operate it. Small business owners lack the funds to hire an AP department and they lack the time to learn the ins and outs of advanced payroll accounting software. So we went to work making a payroll software unlike any other - one where small businesses can figure out the functions as soon as they start the payroll application," he explains.

Dr Ge is so certain that small businesses will find the benefits of ezPaycheck 2008 payroll software that Halfpricesoft.com offers a free trial. For 30 days users can try all the features free of charge before they decide buy this payroll software. In addition, they also offer two other creations for the small business owner - ezCheckPrinting and ezW2, which Dr Ge says are also easy to use for owners who aren't accounting or I.T. experts. Visitors can also find checks, payroll supplies and free items like invoice templates or packing slip templates at the site.

"For the majority of small businesses in the world there really hasn't been a simple, dependable payroll program until ezPaycheck. So it's a great feeling knowing that we save small businesses money on their payroll software needs. What's even better, though, is knowing we make their life less frustrating and save them much needed time."

About halfpricesoft.com
Halfpricesoft.com is a leading provider of innovative 1099, W2 and Payroll Software solutions for accountants and small to medium size businesses. ezPaycheck payroll software includes flexible services to help small businesses run payroll and payroll taxes efficiently.

US Drinking Water Drugged?

Drugs In Our Drinking Water? How To Dispose of Your Medications Safely

Some useful guidelines from the Johns Hopkins White Paper 2008: Prescription Drugs on how to dispose of your unwanted medications safely to minimize the impact on humans and wildlife.

New York, NY - March 12, 2008 -- The Johns Hopkins White Paper 2008: Prescription Drugs recently published a summary of the Office of National Drug Control Policy literature on the subject of how to dispose of your medications safely.

According to a recent Associated Press investigation, prescription drugs have been found in drinking water across the U.S. They found a vast array of pharmaceuticals -- including antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones in the drinking water of 41 million Americans.

Though the level of concentration has been said to be very small, at this point it is unclear as to what the effects of continuous exposure to these drugs in these combinations could mean for humans and wildlife.

In light of these findings, the Johns Hopkins Prescription Drug White Paper summary should prove of some use in answering Americans' concerns about how to dispose of unwanted medications safely.

The original summary states:

How To Dispose of Your Medications
If you've ever wondered what to do with leftover or expired prescription medications, the federal government recently released some important advice. Here are the three options:

1. Throw in the trash.
To do this, remove pills from their original containers. If you are worried about illegal reuse, mix the pills with coffee grounds or kitty litter and place in an empty can or sealable bag.

2. Flush down the toilet.
Do this only if the drug label says so. Drugs that should be flushed down the toilet rather than thrown in the trash include narcotic pain medications, such as fentanyl (Actiq, Duragesic Transdermal System, Fentora), oxycodone (Oxycontin, Percocet), meperidine, and morphine (Avinza); the narcolepsy drug sodium oxybate (Xyrem); the hepatitis drug entecavir (Baraclude); the attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder drug methylphenidate (Daytrana Transdermal Patch); and the HIV drugs atazanavir (Reyataz) and stavudine (Zerit).

3. Utilize take-back programs.
If you are concerned about the environmental effects of flushing medications down the toilet or throwing them in the trash, take advantage of take-back programs, which allow you to bring unused drugs to a central location for proper disposal. Ask your local pharmacy or municipal waste collection system if they have such a program.
Source: THE OFFICE OF NATIONAL DRUG CONTROL POLICY, February 2007

But in view of the recent AP investigation findings, the Office of National Drug Control Policy might want to consider revising their recommendations with regard to Option 2.

In the meantime, Americans can all do their share for the environment by choosing Options 1 or 3.

We might also like to consider applying the same vigilance in disposing of any over the counter medications we might have on hand the next time we decide to clean out our bathroom cabinet.

National Asbestos Awareness Week

ADAO Applauds the United States Senate for Passing a Resolution to Establish "National Asbestos Awareness Week"

Resolution Furthers Education and Awareness of Asbestos Dangers

Washington, DC . March 6, 2008 --- The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO), an organization dedicated to serving as the voice of asbestos victims, today applauds the United States Senate for passing a resolution that would designate the first week of April as "National Asbestos Awareness Week." In particular, ADAO praises Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) for sponsoring the resolution and additional cosponsors and key supporters of S.RES.108 including: Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL), Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Senator Johnny Isakson (R-GA), Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA), Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) and Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) for their leadership in this important legislation.

"We are pleased with the passage of this resolution as we approach the day when asbestos is finally banned in the United States," said Dr. Richard Lemen, former Assistant Surgeon General and Co-chairman of the ADAO Science Advisory Board.

"We already know that asbestos exposure causes deadly diseases and cancers that kill Americans on a daily basis. The passage of this resolution will help raise awareness about the dangers of asbestos and move our nation closer to banning the deadly mineral permanently," stated Michael R. Harbut, MD, MPH, FCCP, CoDirector, National Center for Vermiculite and Asbestos-Related Cancers, Karmanos Cancer Institute, Wayne State University.

"The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization applauds the U.S. Senate and the bi-partisan cosponsors for the passage of this resolution. We cannot bring those back we've lost from exposure to this deadly substance, but we can ensure that our loved ones are not affected by asbestos in the future," said Linda Reinstein, Executive Director and Co-Founder of the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization.

To recognize National Asbestos Awareness Week, ADAO will hold its fourth annual conference and Remembrance Service at Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute on March 29-30 in Detroit, Michigan.

About Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization
Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) was founded by asbestos victims and their families in 2004. ADAO seeks to give asbestos victims a united voice to help ensure that their rights are fairly represented and protected, and raise public awareness about the dangers of asbestos exposure and the incurable and often deadly asbestos related diseases. ADAO is funded through voluntary contributions and staffed by volunteers. For more information visit www.asbestosdiseaseawareness.org.

Details of Ohio Prisoners' Exposure to Asbestos

LegalView Updates Mesothelioma Information Blog with Details of Ohio Prisoners' Exposure to Asbestos

LegalView readers were recently informed of a Ohio prison, opened in 1966, that had tested positive for asbestos after prisoners from the jail sent samples of insulation to a lawyer. Asbestos fibers and dust can cause an incurable form of lung cancer known as mesothelioma.

Denver, CO (PRWEB) January 29, 2008 -- LegalView.com, your source for everything legal on the web, has updated its mesothelioma blog, alerting readers to an Ohio prison that has tested positive for asbestos. Chillicothe Correctional Institute, which was opened in 1966, had tested positive for the presence of asbestos after prisoners secretly sent insulation and dust found in their housing areas to an outside lawyer, who sent the materials to a lab for testing.

Asbestos fibers and dust are the cause of an incurable form of lung cancer known as mesothelioma. The cancer takes anywhere from ten years to a few decades to develop and the symptoms are similar to other illnesses, so an individual is often misdiagnosed and unaware of their fate. Asbestos had been used in the construction of homes, government buildings, schools, and offices among other structures before it was discovered to have been the root of http://mesothelioma.legalview.com[mesothelioma cancer __title__ Mesothelioma Information. To receive an attorney consultation on the specifics of an asbestos exposure case it is important to contact an experienced mesothelioma law firm who can offer a referral.

Of the 37 prisoners who claim to have been exposed to the asbestos, 33 are current inmates of the prison, while four have since been released. The prisoners have filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court, CV0015, stating that not only are they being exposed to asbestos, but that inmates "are routinely forced to remove asbestos or work with asbestos without training or protection," according to the lawsuit.
Individuals who feel they too have been previously exposed to asbestos should contact a medical professional as well as an attorney. Another illness that is similar to mesothelioma in its seriousness is Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF). NSF is a rare illness associated with individuals who are already suffering from kidney disease and are receiving gadolinium dye during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) tests. NSF causes a patient's skin to harden, especially around the joints, and eventually becomes so hard and stiff that a victim cannot even move their appendages. If you or someone you know suffers from this illness contact an http://nsf-nephrogenic-systemic-fibrosis.legalview.com[NSF lawyer __title__ Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis Law Firm specializing in this illness to learn about what can be done to provide relief from such a debilitating disease. Additionally, if an individual is the victim of a construction accident or traumatic brain injury, use LegalView's practice areas to find more information on how to reach a http://construction.legalview.com[construction accident attorney __title__ Construction Accident Lawyer or a brain injury law firm to receive a consultation on potential compensation.

Economic Depression Likely

Survey Shows Economic Depression Likely

The majority of Americans believe the U.S. economy is headed for an economic depression, according to a new survey by Housing Predictor.

Destin, FL  -  February 25, 2008 -- A majority of Americans surveyed believe the U.S. economy will fall into an economic depression, according to a new opinion poll conducted by Housing Predictor.

The online survey found that a slight majority surveyed expect the nation's economy to develop into a depression. Housing Predictor regularly surveys visitors to its web site on real estate related issues, including the economy, and provides more than 250 local housing market forecasts in all 50 U.S. states.

The survey comes at a time when the majority of the nation's housing markets are in the midst of the worst slowdown since the Great Depression. Sales of homes and other properties are at the slowest volume in years in what has developed into a national real estate recession.

Foreclosures have reached all-time record levels as a result of the credit crunch and increasing signs that the nation has fallen into a full-fledged recession, including higher unemployment and worsening consumer confidence.

More than two million homes throughout the nation have already been foreclosed as a result of the nation's financial crisis, and higher mortgage payments home owners are unable to afford. The foreclosure rate has doubled and is forecast to worsen over the next few years.

The real estate crisis has sent shock waves through Wall Street and other financial markets, sending the nation's economy on a downward spiral. The White House and Congress are working on plans to help some home owners, but are clearly unable to act fast enough to help many consumers.

Housing Predictor forecasts that foreclosures will top 5.6 million units through 2011.

The crisis has broad implications for the national economy. Consumers are already feeling the pinch at the grocery store with higher prices for food and other products and at the gas station with higher fuel prices. Economists are growing with increasing concern over the economy, which could see the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

Liberty Names: The Freedom To Pay More

Never Pay More Than $10 A Year For Domain Registration!

I just got another letter from Liberty Names and I felt like I needed to post a message about them in case people are checking them out and want to know why they should NOT return the letter and go with them. There are two reasons:

1) They send you what LOOKS LIKE an invoice and if you don't read it carefully, you could think it's just a domain registration renewal notice. After all at the top right of the letter it says in large letters: "Domain Name Expiration Notice".

To their credit, they do say that this is a TRANSFER that you would be doing, but they also say things that are confusing and not clear or the entire story. In short, while not outright lies, they are not the full truth either. Rather than sending a nice sales letter with information about their company and why you should transfer to them, they choose to mislead and create fear, uncertainty, and doubt.

2) The fee for renewal/transfers is $29, they they offer NOTHING in my opinion to justify this outrageous fee. When I first registered a domain many years ago, I did have to pay Network Solutions $35 a year. Then I discovered DirectNIC.com and only had to pay $15 a year for the same services. For the past 3 years I have only been paying between $7 and $10 a year and if you are paying more than that you are being ripped-off, or have a special kind of domain that is more expensive. Their fee is at least THREE TIMES AS EXPENSIVE AS MOST OTHER REGISTRARS.

RE: The Syndicate that defrauded you has been caught!

Dear Reverend Barrister Willy Bayo,

Thank you for your message. I am so very glad that you were able to catch these people!

They stole a total of $225,000 from us over a period of 8 months. Each time they contacted me they wanted more and more money. After a while I thought that I would have none left, so I stopped paying them.

It would be wonderful if I could get that money back. Please let me know what I need to do.

Thank you,
Mrs. Mable Nordfish

To whom it may concern

We have nabbed a syndicate of fraudsters who specializes in document forgery, impersonation and using of fictitious offices and clandestine phone, fax and emails to defraud innocent people. On interrogation, we promised these syndicate that if they confess their evil acts, that we will help them reduce their jail terms. Based on this promise we made to them, they provided your email address as one of their victims. We don't know if their confession that they defrauded you is correct. If indeed you lost any money to these fraudsters in the time past, please notify us with immediate effect. We have recovered enormous amount in their accounts. We have also seized and sold all their houses, companies, expensive cars, stocks and shares they bought with their ill gotten wealth for the purpose of paying their victims what they lost.

Our concern now is that their victims as they enlisted are so many that all the money we realized from the sale of their belongings including the money recovered in their account will not be enough to pay back all their victims in full what they have lost. We advise you to respond as quickly as possible to enable you be among the first to be reimbursed. Due to the fact that their victims are too many, we may not guarantee to reimburse you all you lost but will assure you that you will recover at least half. In your reply, do indicate the total amount they defrauded from you for verification purposes. Note however that your transport cost and other contingencies including the transfer charges should not be included as part of your total lost. If you are not the right person, please disregard this email.
