Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal - November 11, 2005

Staff Writer

Halo Innovations Inc., a startup launched to combat sudden infant death syndrome, is using technology developed in that fight to enter the much bigger and more competitive market of air filtration systems. Halo recently introduced its first product for that space: PureNight, a filtration unit that it claims can remove nearly all allergens from the air surrounding a bed.

It's a big step for Halo, which generates most of its $5 million in revenue from a sleeping-bag-like sack designed to keep infants warm without the risks of suffocation that standard blankets can cause. The consumer air-filtration market, in contrast, is estimated at nearly $400 million, with big brand names such as Honeywell and the Sharper Image.

But Halo has recruited an executive who knows the nighttime: Chuck Dorsey, a former executive with Plymouth-based Select Comfort Corp. who plans to use some of the direct-marketing strategies employed by the air-mattress maker. Print ads began this fall, and informational TV spots will start airing in early 2006. Halo also is closing on $2 million in funding to help the rollout.

The SleepSack was Halo's first and best-known item. But the technology behind the PureNight filtration system came from a later product, a crib mattress with a built-in ventilation system that kept carbon dioxide from pooling around an infant's head.

Executives recognized that the filtration systems in the mattress could have a broader market potential. More than 50 million people suffer from allergies or asthma attacks, which can often strike at night. Halo has conducted a clinical study of the $499 PureNight device, which resembles a large desk lamp that hangs over the user's bed. Allergy sufferers in the study reported immediate improvement, Dorsey said. "For a good number of people, we're a solution that hasn't existed before," he said.

Which is not to say that Halo is going into an untapped market: The competition is fierce and well-established. At $400, Sharper Image's Ionic Breeze filtration system is the retailer's best-selling item, even though Consumer Reports has criticized the machine as ineffective. Dorsey said a second study, conducted at the University of Minnesota, found the Sharper Image product cleaned about 27 percent of pollutants from the air overnight; Halo's performance: 99 percent.

Those figures will be front and center of Halo's marketing campaign, portions of which can be found at www.purenight.com. The company isn't using an outside ad agency, relying instead on the infomercial-style ads and direct marketing Dorsey used at Select Comfort in the 1990s. "This product works, but it's a high-ticket item and we've got no market awareness," Dorsey said. Consumers are going to need a lot of information about it to convince them to buy, and sales will take longer than a retail environment would allow.

Government Will Reverse Mesothelioma Ruling

The Lord Chancellor, Lord Falconer has announced changes to compensation laws which will mean victims of asbestos-related cancer will receive full compensation.

(PRWEB) June 27, 2006 -- The Lord Chancellor, Lord Falconer has announced changes to compensation laws which will mean victims of asbestos-related cancer will receive full compensation. The announcement follows the House of Lords ruling in Barker v Corus in May this year that prevented thousands of mesothelioma victims from receiving a full payout. The decision reduced the amount of compensation to which they were entitled when employers and their insurers were unavailable to be sued, as well as making the whole process of claiming compensation longer and more costly. In response The Lord Chancellor, Lord Falconer and John Hutton, the Work and Pensions Secretary, will amend the Compensation Bill - currently going through Parliament - to reverse the ruling. The amendment will mean that negligent employers will be jointly and severally liable and that claimants will be able to recover full compensation from any one employer.

Peter Williams, a partner in the Asbestos Claims Department at Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP, said:
"I am delighted the government has promptly indicated their intention to restore the rights of those suffering from mesothelioma to claim full compensation from any one employer.

"Whilst we do need to look at the detail and timing of the legislation we hope to be able to tell our clients and their families we can deal with their cases speedily and that they no longer face the prospect of losing large amounts of compensation through no fault of their own."

About 1,900 people die in the UK each year from mesothelioma, a cancer of the lining of the lungs or abdomen, which is almost always caused by exposure to asbestos. Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP is one of the country’s leading asbestos disease claims firms. Over twenty-five years Rodney Nelson-Jones and his team have recovered nearly £100M in over 1,750 successful cases.

Implanted Screwdriver Results in 5.6 Million Dollar Lawsuit: Why Hospitals are Turning to Airline Pilots to Prevent Poor OR Teamwork

A Hawaiian hospital could have saved a patient’s life, $5.6 million and a shockwave of negative publicity if they had invested in training their surgical teams to use the same assertive communication skills used by flight crews in commercial aviation.

Memphis, TN (PRWEB) June 26, 2006 -- The Institute of Medicine estimates that the total cost of medical errors in U.S. hospitals is an astonishing $17 billion a year. One horrific case of a medical error involved a patient who had the steel shaft of a screwdriver surgically implanted into his spine.

Despite the concerns of the nurses on his surgical team, the surgeon used the screwdriver in place of two titanium rods that turned up missing from the OR when the surgeon needed them. Not wanting to wait, he instead decided to use the screwdriver shaft.

Not long after the surgery, the shaft shattered. More surgeries were needed to correct the complications and ultimately, the patient died. The family was awarded a $5.6 million wrongful death by jury verdict. While the surgeon bears most of the responsibility for the decision, the rest of the surgical team had a part to play in the outcome as well.

To avoid these sorts of decision-making errors and empower nurses on the surgical team to effectively intervene when needed, many hospitals are implementing the aviation-based safety protocols and assertive communication techniques used by commercial flight crews.

One innovative aviation-based safety system, developed by the airline pilots, NASA astronauts, and active physicians of LifeWings Partners LLC, has been implemented in over 40 healthcare facilities nationwide. LifeWings president, Steve Harden, a former Navy pilot and Top Gun instructor says, “The average wrong surgery malpractice award is around $350,000. If just one of these surgical errors is prevented, the return on investment for implementing this safety system is eye-opening. With this system, one of our clients prevented at least six of these claims.”

A major component of the LifeWings’ program focuses on the development of assertive communication behavior among team members. “We’re trying to equip medical teams with the necessary communication behaviors that will help detect and prevent errors before they become harmful to the patient, physician or hospital,” says Harden. “I definitely think the surgical team would never have allowed a screwdriver to be used had the safety system been in place.”

Additionally, LifeWings teaches hospitals how to use standardized checklists. Hospitals learn to create checklists for every procedure to ensure that all surgical equipment is in place. “Had the LifeWings’ system been in place in that hospital, the procedure never would have started until the two missing titanium rods had been found and put in place in the OR,” Harden adds.

Ultimately, LifeWings provides a systematic change to the safety culture in healthcare. The result of that culture change is safer and better quality of care for patients, and thus fewer malpractice claims.

About LifeWings Partners LLC
LifeWings Partners LLC was founded by a former U.S. Navy Top Gun instructor and commercial airline pilot and two physicians who are former NASA astronauts. The firm specializes in applying aviation-based teamwork training and safety tools to help healthcare facilities save patients’ lives and reduce costs. LifeWings has helped over 40 facilities nationwide provide better care to their patients. Measurable results are found in all LifeWings initiatives, including one hospital that experienced a 43% improvement in their observed to expected mortality figures. The firm also conducts Leadership Development workshops for healthcare executive teams.

Google Tests ‘Cost-Per-Action’ Web Ads; Results Could Validate CPA Industry

Cost-Per-Action model lessens click fraud, makes sense to Google, the most-used search engine in the world.

Mission Viejo, CA (PRWEB) June 26, 2006 -- The owners of www.AmericanLifeDirect.com, www.LibertyDirect.com and www.SpectrumDirect.com websites are happy to see that the number one search engine on the internet, Google, has finally decided to explore Cost-Per-Action (CPA) advertising. “We’ve been utilizing the CPA model since 1999” said Spectrum Direct CEO, Christopher Snyder. “It’s worked for us – we are the largest seller of E-Commerce Life Insurance, and have been utilizing CPA for over half of our transactions, so it’s great to see Google come around to what we’ve been proving for years!”

Prior to this test, Google’s ads have only been run on a Pay-Per-Click model, which has recently been cited for allowing click fraud, where the clicks the advertiser pays for often don’t amount to any traceable action. Click fraud is difficult to track and impossible to prevent. The beauty of a Cost-Per-Action model is that both the advertiser and the merchant who owns the offer can see the results of an advertisement and determine its profitability. Affiliate programs rely on mutual profits for both the affiliate-publisher and the merchant-advertiser who are partners in the CPA process. The advertiser pays the publisher to run their ad only when an action (the ‘A’ in CPA) happens.

David Jackson, who writes an investment blog called SeekingAlpha posted a copy of an email he received from Google about their cost-per-action test. Anytime Google tries something new it is newsworthy, but many observers attribute Google’s testing the CPA model as a response to click fraud. In theory cost-per-action advertising is not at risk of click fraud. A Google spokesman confirmed via e-mail that the company is conducting the test. The CPA model appeals to a different type of advertiser than the cost-per-click model, offering both could increase Google’s profitability at a time when their shares need it – they’ve fallen 3.1% so far this year.

The CPA market has long been populated by affiliate networks who match up merchant-advertisers with affiliate-publishers, often times with a network acting as an intermediary. The CPA model really appeals to merchants who want every advertising dime to count. Snyder, CEO of www.AmericanLifeDirect.com is happy to have Google join the CPA party. “If Google accepts Cost-Per-Action advertising, can MSN and Yahoo be far behind?”

MySpace Legal Woes Spark New Wave of Social Networks

Recent news on MySpace highlights the need for safe social networks. ConnectFactor (http://www.connectfactor.com) begins to answer that need.

Shreveport, LA (PRWEB) June 24, 2006 -- Recent news on MySpace highlights the need for safe social networks. ConnectFactor (http://www.connectfactor.com) begins to answer that need.

ConnectFactor is a social network site with three goals:
1) Allow like-minded people to connect in meaningful ways via the internet. ConnectFactor offers messageboards, blogs, instant messaging, private messaging, "hot topic" lists, news , blogs, the "Daily Factor" (a special feature that connects people faster than email, and with a wider reach than message forums), photos, and more. Plus, ConnectFactor displays connected people in a unique, "family tree" manner.

2) Connect people on an "invitation only" basis. ConnectFactor uses a proprietary system of rating your relationships, too. Each user will display an average rating along with the number of people that rate them.

3) Provide a family-friendly environment for people to interact within the framework of knowing folks insofar as they were invited to join the network.

"There is no way to completely guarantee that people you connect with will have only positive intentions. Yet, we believe that ConnectFactor offers people the best available alternative," says Don Harrold, co-founder, ConnectFactor.com

Mr. Harrold continues, "The rise of networks-as-sexual-playgrounds gave me the idea for ConnectFactor. I was tired of seeing social networks devolve into titillating conversations about tattoos and whether people are 'hot' or not. Adults needed a place to connect. And the recent news about major social networks confirms to me that ConnectFactor is the right network service at the right time."

"We don't have any place at ConnectFactor for you to unload your entire 'hotmail', 'outlook', or 'juno' address book. That's not what ConnectFactor is about. The sort of random connections built through those tactics serve only one purpose: to increase hits for the parent site. We want ConnectFactor to be a place where people know their connections and trust the connections made in their network," concludes Mr. Harrold.

ConnectFactor is currently in "beta test" mode. ConnectFactor is free and open to US citizens (beta mode only) who want to join a family-friendly, invitation-only network of like-minded people. Interested parties should visit http://www.connectfactor.com for more information.

Website Design & Search Engine Optimisation – Searches up by 55% yet 85% of Businesses Have no Professional Strategy

Online website searches are up by 55%. Matt Roberts a UK Website Design Agency Website Design & Search Engine Optimisation Company UK analysis of UK buisness shows as many as 85% of small to medium sized businesses have not got a website and search engine optimisation strategy in place.

London (PRWEB) June 22, 2006 -- The number of people looking to find small and medium sized business services via their websites is rising.

Neilsen/NetRatings has reported that the total number of searches across 60 search engines grew a massive 55% year-on-year (Dec 2004 compared to Dec 2005). The question for all businesses wanting to capture a share of this demand for information via their websites is, what are these businesses going to do about it.

Matt Roberts of UK Website Design Agency - Matt Roberts Website Design & Website Redesign Services UK research shows as many as 85% of small to medium sized businesses have not got a website and search engine optimisation strategy in place. Which is great news for those who do, as they keep getting a larger slice of the action and also become harder to catch.

Website Design - Capturing your share

Of course businesses want to get their share of these potential clients. But here’s the bad news. Having a website, submitting it to a few or even hundreds of search engines and waiting is far from being enough.

There are two marketing disciplines at play when it comes to capturing this audience. Website Design and Search Engine Optimisation. What is more, these are inseparable if a business is serious about making money by capturing those online searchers.

Matt Roberts explains, ‘Without getting too technical, so much of being successful when ranking your website in the major search engines is in the design, link structure, coding and content of a website. Other factors include the number of quality on-topic websites linking to your site. Therefore to separate the website design process from your search engine optimisation programme is the wrong way to go about things.’

Search Engine Optimisation - A word of warning

•    Don’t use website companies that promise to guarantee a certain ranking as you can not guarantee number one position to anyone.
•    Get started early, as Search Engine Optimisation is not quick and can often take 6 months or longer before you see results.
•    Use website designers that use ethical techniques and attempts to trick the search engines are highly likely to get you banned.

Website Design - What we know to be true

More and more potential clients are using the Internet to try and find businesses. The art of website design and search engine optimisation are linked. When looking for a website designer, look for one that knows how to design a website for search engines and site visitors without sacrificing design impact or visitor experience.

Modern Technology Makes Conducting International Business Easy with Online Legal Information

A new website, Worlds Law Online, is revolutionizing international business by using a team of attorneys across the globe to provide cost-effective legal information online using videoconferencing, email and telephone.

(PRWEB) June 22, 2006 -- A new website (www.WorldsLawOnline.com) is revolutionizing international business by using a team of attorneys across the globe to provide cost-effective legal information online using videoconferencing and email. If the matter is too complex for online, a local firm in Worlds Law network assumes the case to provide more personal service.

Bret Bocook founded the Worlds Law Online network when he realized that despite pervasive globalization, it was still very difficult and expensive to conduct international business and to get access to an attorney quickly and efficiently.

“Through our on-line services and via our network of strategic legal alliances, Worlds Law serves the needs of individuals, governments, companies, and non-profit organizations in all parts of the world. WorldsLawOnline.com has been created to take advantage of recent technology advancements in video conferencing and other on-line services to serve clients needs at a fraction of the cost of traditional law firms. Personal video conferences, on-line document preparation and email have created the opportunity for legal consumers to save vast amounts of money and time, and still get exceptional legal services given in a personal fashion at a location that is convenient to them” explains Bret.

Worlds Law Online has been designed to handle a wide array of legal services, according to Bret. “For individuals or firms that need a specific question answered, a document prepared, or require a virtual in-house counsel, Worlds Law Online is a convenient and cost saving alternative to hiring a full time attorney or retaining a local law firm”

For more complex legal services that require in-person contact, the Worlds Law Online network has associates around the world. “We’re adding countries every day and by the end of the summer we will have associates in nearly every region on Earth” added Bocook.

While there is a growing business in US citizens wanting to do business abroad, the largest market is still foreigners who want a business presence in the United States, particularly those from Eastern Europe and Asia. “Many firms market and sell products to US customers, but if you’re online and it comes time to make a purchase and you notice the business and the payment is going to Russia, many people are unwilling to complete the transaction” Bocook explains. www.WorldsLawOnline.com helps those foreign companies understand US law and what needs to happen in order to form an official US based LLC or corporation.”

Not limited to just business formation, World’s Law Online provides legal information in the following areas:, international family law, international construction law, international business law, international finance law, international employment law, international trust and estate law, international real estate law, international health care law, and international     product liability law.

Worlds Law Online is a fast growing, pre-IPO company and is currently seeking investors. More information can be found at http://www.worldslawonline.com/invest.php

Bocook brings impressive credentials to the business, which has helped him to assemble a highly skilled team. As a founder of a major real estate law firm, Bocook has recently been focused on using his background on a more philanthropic project, the Angels Camp homeless shelter in Washington, DC. “The Angels Camp is a state-of-the-art facility that could end homelessness in the US as we know it. Says Bocook. “It is a self sustaining shelter that generates its own income and doesn’t just provide temporary shelter, but trains and equips residents to be successful members of society.”

AngelsCamp, is a state-of-the-art homeless shelter in Washington DC (see www.AngelsCampOnline.com for more details).

Asset Investigators Have Ways of Finding Money that is Owed to You

Don’t be a victim -- you can get the money owed to you. Asset Investigators can help.

(PRWEB) June 12, 2006 -- Billions of dollars in uncollectible judgments from court cases show the real truth: if someone doesn’t have collectible assets, a costly court case can elicit nothing -- except a hefty legal bill. This is why many lawyers suggest asset investigation before time and money is wasted on a lawsuit.

There are many instances where an asset investigation may be useful. Creditor may want to run an asset check on debtors who owe them money. Those who are going through a divorce often have spouses who claim that they have no assets and so should not have to pay child support or alimony. Employers who have noticed unusual patterns in their account have found that an employee has been embezzling money.

Are the individuals in these cases stuck with accepting the situation at face value -- even if it means losing money? Of course not. Today, asset investigators can help uncover assets and money that others claim are not there. If individuals are owed money or suspect they are being defrauded, asset investigators can do a number of things to help them recover their money:

1) They can run economic crime investigations, investigations of corruption, investigations of money laundering, and other types of financial investigations using surveillance equipment as well as forensic computer investigation techniques that can recover lost or erased computer data.

2) They can trace ownership of assets, uncover camouflaged assets and trace property.

3) They can identify, find, and evaluate the value of assets owned or managed by a business or by an individual.

4) They can use information brokers and corporate insiders to uncover attempts to hide assets.

5) They can use online and electronic resources as well as surveillance equipment to uncover money fraud. By using tax liens, real estate records, change of address data, state motor vehicle data, and other types of online tools, investigators can often trace where assets have gone.

Signs an Asset Investigation might be needed.

1) Someone has a history of bad credit, lying, criminal activity, tax evasion, fraud, and padded résumés. Few people simply start hiding money. Many businesses, employees, and creditors who are dishonest with you have also tried to defraud others of money owed.

2) A sizable difference between lifestyle and asset claims. Ex-spouses often claim that they have no money to pay child support or alimony but have the money to drive at fancy car or make large home purchases.

3) A changing story. Those who try to claim that they have no assets when they actually do have money will often slip up and make mistakes about how much money they actually have. The creditor who at one moment claims they have only $100 but upon further pressure admits that they have $300 may well be lying about assets as well. Those who really do have few assets have an excellent idea of how much they actually own.

Qualified private investigators can help individuals and corporations reclaim money that is rightfully theirs.

snap2eyes To Offer CPC-Optimized Textpandable Ad Template For Free; Fully Customizable Ad Template Redefines Text Ad

The versatile, cost-free, and easy to use Textpandable™ ad template empowers any business or non-profit organization to create text-filled Internet ads that feature aesthetic simplicity, eye-catching animation, and functional sophistication. Users simply enter their ad copy (including up to 5,000 words of expandable text) and specify their design and color preferences from among scores of options displayed in the intuitively organized user interface containing both the customizable ad properties and the user-friendly, integrated help that explains each option. Because Textpandable ads can hold much more information than conventional text-based ads, they also lead to smarter click decisions by the Internet user, and thereby decrease frustration and wasted time for the Internet user as well as squandered CPC expenses for the advertiser.

New York, NY (PRWEB) June 9, 2006 – Online advertising company snap2eyes LLC (www.snap2eyes.com) announces the launch of its Textpandable™ ad template, an information and feature-rich, customizable, rich media ad template (see: www.textpandable.com).

The versatile, cost-free, and easy to use ad template empowers any business or non-profit organization to create text-filled Internet ads that feature aesthetic simplicity, eye-catching animation, and functional sophistication. To create an online ad based on the Textpandable ad template, advertisers require no knowledge of any rich media authoring tools, HTML coding, or other programming languages, and need not create any graphics or other visual resources. Users simply enter their ad copy and specify their design and color preferences from among the many options displayed in the intuitively organized user interface containing both the customizable ad properties and the user-friendly, integrated help that explains each option.

The Textpandable ad template is available in several standard IAB ad unit sizes and shapes, including 250x250 IMU squares, 160x600 IMU skyscrapers, and 300x600 IMU half page ads. Advertisers can also choose a non-standard size by selecting “Custom IMU.” For any size chosen, advertisers can select the color of up to 45 different graphical components of the Textpandable ad template, including the color of various lines, buttons, backgrounds, and sections. Users can also tailor nearly 60 non-color settings, such as font style, background patterns, text alignment, and total expanding text areas. The Textpandable thus offers advertisers a virtually endless array of creative possibilities with which to differentiate their brand or message, while still maintaining a clean and elegant overall ad look. More advanced users also have the ability to enter HTML and thereby further increase their creative choices.

Ads based on the Textpandable ad template are inherently interactive because they offer a mini-browsing experience within each ad. Internet users viewing the ad can actively decide when and what additional information will be displayed in the ad space, rather than passively waiting for the information to be presented by the ad itself.

Despite its graceful and spacious appearance, the Textpandable ad template can contain up to about 5,000 words of expandable ad copy. This unique and powerful feature makes it possible to embed -- in a single online ad -- a wide variety of information-packed content by or about the advertiser, including full company press releases; sample editorial content; press coverage about the advertiser, its offerings, or any related topics; political campaign platforms; relevant industry reports or articles; in-depth product or service information; or any other detailed text. The ability to incorporate lengthier bodies of expandable text is especially useful for news and information sites, ezines, blogs, and other content sites that want to tempt Internet users with a longer and more enticing sample of their editorial content.

Because the Textpandable can hold much more information than conventional text-based ads, the ad template leads to smarter click decisions by Internet users and thereby better optimizes the CPC (cost per click) pricing model for advertisers. Such a CPC-optimized ad decreases frustration and wasted time for the Internet user and lowers CPC campaign expenses for the advertiser. By contrast, ads that offer insufficient information often waste the time of the Internet user who must click on the ad to get redirected to a campaign page or web site, only to discover that the ad promotes nothing of interest to the Internet user, while needlessly increasing the advertiser’s CPC costs.

Within the space limitations of the ad unit selected, the advertiser can decide how much ad copy will appear initially (without any text expansion by the Internet user). Some advertisers may prefer to display as much as possible to ensure that certain information is communicated even if the Internet user chooses not to expand any portion of the ad. Other advertisers may prefer to keep most of the ad text initially hidden, in order to create an even cleaner, minimalist look, or to prompt curious Internet users to interact with the Textpandable for the additional information embedded within the ad. By revealing ad text only when the Internet user selects it, online advertisers can also more effectively incorporate humor and surprises that unfold in stages.

The lightweight size of the Textpandable (under 40KB) makes the ad template IAB compliant and widely deployable. Thus, the multi-purpose Textpandable can be placed anywhere, from the most basic website in need of some visual variation, to the largest ad network or portal, where brand competition and differentiation present a constant challenge.

The Textpandable is powered by the snap2eyes Rich Media Ad Factory™ (or RMAF™) Platform – a proprietary technology that creates affordable rich media ads out of customizable templates. The RMAF Platform enables advertisers to choose from a range of sophisticated online ad templates and then tailor the eye-catching animation by combining it with their ad campaign content. Once an ad template such as the Textpandable has been tailored and finalized, the user receives it in the Macromedia® Flash® File Format (SWF), along with a deployment guide.

“Because we plan to offer many more online ad templates that are customized with the RMAF, we wanted to offer the Textpandable free of charge, so that new users would always have a risk-free way to familiarize themselves with the technology,” noted Gil Lahav, Co-Founder and CEO of snap2eyes.

The Textpandable ad template is showcased on www.textpandable.com, where a simulated Textpandable ad and the corresponding user interface are displayed. The textpandable.com site requires no registration and immediately enables anyone to experiment with each customization option to see how it affects the sample Textpandable displayed nearby. Registered RMAF users will soon be able to create, customize, and receive deployable Textpandables for free, when the RMAF Platform is launched later this month.

Sunburst Electronics Adds New Lead-Free Production Capabilities in Keeping with European Environmental Protection Regulations

Sunburst Electronics, an electronic contract manufacturer based in Erie, Pa., expanded its production capabilities to include the manufacturing of lead-free electronic controls bound for Europe.

Erie, PA (PRWEB) June 9, 2006 -- Sunburst Electronics, an Erie-based electronic contract manufacturer, expanded its production capabilities to include the manufacturing of lead-free electronic controls bound for Europe. The European Union, via its RoHS environmental directive, mandated that lead-free solder materials be used in electronic products, effective July 1, 2006. Non-compliant companies exporting to Europe from the U.S. will otherwise be “locked out.”

To meet these changing market conditions and the higher temperature demands of lead-free solder compounds, Sunburst purchased an Electrovert OmniExcel 7 Solder Reflow Oven (with seven chambers) and an Electrovert Speedline Wave Solder machine, best-in-class brands produced by Massachusetts-based, Speedline Technologies. Having already received lead-free manufacturing orders, Sunburst’s new, seven-chamber, solder reflow oven meets higher temperature requirements for lead-free alloys but minimizes thermal stress on other electronic parts through a gradual, chamber-to-chamber heating process.

Dennis Cantoni, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Sunburst Electronics, said “Local businesses producing industrial controls, sensors, medical devices and other electronic products for Europe are facing major challenges when it comes to RoHS compliance. They must determine if they are exempt (or not) from RoHS regulations, generate compliant Bills of Material and transition to RoHS compliant manufacturing and inventory – a very disruptive process for manufacturers in our industry.”

In addition to adding new lead-free production capabilities, Sunburst is also partnering with local and regional companies to position them for RoHS compliance by identifying lead times associated with RoHS compliant parts, searching for alternative components or suppliers, evaluating current levels of non-compliant materials, determining strategies to maximize inventory use and creating compliant Bills of Materials.
                                                                                         
Editor’s Note: Certified to ISO 9001:2000, Sunburst Electronics specializes in developing electronic assemblies (printed circuit boards, chassis assembly, cables and harnesses) for industrial machinery, control and measurement applications, instrumentation, avionics, transportation, transducers and medical devices, among others.

The company houses its operations in a 31,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility based in Erie, Pa., and maintains a separately staffed, 4,000-square-foot repair center specializing in end-of-life product management.

Originally founded in 1975 by Robert Heiges, Sunburst was purchased by Bliley Technologies, Inc., in 1986. Bliley (www.bliley.com) is a manufacturer of quartz crystals and crystal oscillators used in the telecommunications, military and space industries.

Therefore the MADserver is unique and offers advertisers the possibility to reach individual consumers and very specific target groups. Various large (Dutch) mobile portals like Telfort Spot already licensed MADserver to integrate into their mobile portal.

MADS offers, for free, some template WAP landing pages on which advertisers can communicate their message. Interaction with the consumers can in different op-in ways, including click-to-call, click-to-sms and click-to-mail.

Ashu Mathura, founder and director MADS: “Advertisers are looking for new ways to reach the mobile iPod generation. MADS makes it possible with standard banner formats, a large network with clear profiles, statistics and reports. Advertisers are glad that they are finally able to promote their products and services via a reliable network”.

As well as advertising on mobile sites, the MADserver can serve advertisements in mobile downloads like games and applications. The expectation is that the first mobile advergaming projects will be launched at the market in Q4 2006.

MADS is active in whole Europe, but for 2006 the focus will be on The Netherlands, Belgium, United Kingdom and Germany.

What an EMR Is Not

The very term EMR stirs up confusion in healthcare today. While hundreds of vendors claim to have an EMR solution, there is no standard within the industry. But that is changing now.

Evanston, IL (PRWEB) June 9, 2006 -- The very term EMR stirs up confusion in healthcare today. While hundreds of vendors claim to have an EMR solution, there is no standard within the industry. But that is changing now.

Confusion On What Constitutes An EMR

Electronic Medical Records. Electronic Health Records. Personal Health Record . The very words EMR, EHR and PHR stir up confusion 20 years after their introduction. "If you talk about electronic patient billing, even the smallest physician practice understands what is meant. Yet when we talk about EMR’s, there is considerable confusion on what is meant" says industry analyst Pam Waymack of Phoenix Services www.PhoenixService.net after attending the 22nd annual Towards an Electronic Patient Record (TEPR) conference where nearly 200 vendors clambered to show how they support EMR capabilities. Dr. Mark Leavitt, M.D., Ph.D. and chair of the Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (CCHIT) noted at the meeting, "The fact that you can ask the question (What an EMR is not) and not be laughed at shows the state of the market".

State of the EMR Market

While several hundred software vendors claim to offer EMR products. New entities everyday are entering the market with their own version of what they think an EMR is. In May, two health plan associations announced their plans to make PHR's available to their members using the claims data they have. "The EMR market today is where the practice management market was 20 years ago" according to Waymack a consultant with Phoenix Services. "There were minimal standards, functionality was highly variable, the level of workflow automation was basic and knowledge management was only beginning" .

The Quantum Leap for EMRs

The good news for providers is that nationally several organizations are working with the federal government to accelerate the adoption of EMRs. By establishing standards and defining functional requirements, these organizations seek to reduce the variability as well as risk of acquiring EMRs. On May 1st CCHIT announced the first set of national criteria for ambulatory electronic health records (EHRs). CCHIT is now accepting applications from vendors seeking certification of their ambulatory EHR solutions. This is the first step in accelerating the maturation of the health information technology (HIT) market. By setting standards for EHR functionality, CCHIT is helping to catalyze the market. Dr. Leavitt noted that their criteria establish the minimum requirements for certified products in the market. Products not meeting all of CCHIT’s criteria will not be certified as comprehensive ambulatory EHRs. The development of CCHIT’s inspection process has received funding from the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) but the organization is a market-driven, voluntary, private-sector initiative. The goal is to accelerate EHR adoption among practicing physicians by providing them with a benchmark against which they can measure EHRs, decreasing the risk of this investment.

EMRs are not off-the-shelf products ready to use without any tailoring. Most EMRs are not plug-and-play solutions today but interoperability of standards will address is in the years to come. EMRs with reasonable automation and tools are also not inexpensive either in terms of the price tag to purchase or the staff resources required to install successfully. Finally, even the best EMR today does not solve all of our practice problems. But EMRs are quickly becoming the basis for providers to meet the changing demands of healthcare today:
-to document the extent of services provided,
-to communicate findings efficiently and rapidly with other providers,
-to capture charges for all services provided,
-to support compliance with evidence based medicine,
-to improve the patient's experience, to reduce medical errors and to improve practice efficiency.

Despite everything that an EMR is not today, EMRs are a critical ingredient in the future practice of healthcare. According to Waymack, “Just as we cannot imagine practicing without automated billing and scheduling tools today, successful practice in the near future will require automated clinical records both within our practices and across our communities”.

Investigator Warns Consumers on Lookup Scams

PI warns web surfers to avoid fraudulent database and subscription-based skip tracing companies. Ads claiming the ability to locate information via database or subscription service are misleading at best, says Cellulartrace.com CEO Mark McAlpin.

(PRWEB) June 9, 2006 -- Web scams and gimmicks aren’t just reserved to the popular Nigerian Bank account grift, according to investigative company CEO. Cellulartrace.com executive Mark McAlpin issued a warning to consumers Wednesday stating that the bulk of CPC advertisers were not being forthright with the information they were promising consumers.

“When searching the web for a reverse lookup, phone search or email address trace, people are inundated with ads promising such services via database or subscription. In reality they are paying money to search an outdated collectioin of info or purchase a subscription to these "data-less bases." It is fraud of the highest order. People are being led to believe they are getting current information when they are really getting nothing useful at all.” McAlpin stated on the company’s website.

After the media buzz surrounding call records earlier this year, McAlpin says scores of companies or, as he suspects, “the same few companies” replicated with new names wanted to cash in on the popularity of investigative web services. While his attitude seems easy to dismiss as simply opposing the competition, he insists that has nothing to do with it.

“I’m the biggest free-market supporter you’ll find. I welcome competition. If someone thinks they can offer accurate phone searches for less than we can, go ahead—let the market decide. But promising someone a reverse lookup search, taking their money and offering them database rubbish or linking them to another pay site isn’t competitive commerce, it’s fraud.”

He also noted that several companies claiming to perform the type of skip tracing phone search services his company does actually link back to the Cellulartrace.com website after the customer has entered the phone number and paid, creating the illusion that they are somehow affiliated with his site.

McAlpin has a valid point. When we Googled reverse lookup, five of the six sponsored ads were to companies offering database-style searches. As there is no cellular phone number directory, it is difficult to imagine the legitimacy of such offerings. Still, in the interest of fairness we tried three of them.

The first took presented us with an input box, where the number to be searched was entered. After a dramatic pause we were told the info was found. To see it, we had to pay—fair enough. $49 later we were redirected to the reverse lookup searches page of McAlpin’s website.

McAlpin just shook his head. “That’s what these people do. They take your money and pawn you off on someone else. We get a few cancellation requests a day from these company’s customers as they think we have some affiliation with these grifters.”

The other two services also claimed to have found info on the number entered. This time, a subscription for “unlimited” searches had to be purchased. After the money changed hads and the “account” opened, there was suddenly no record of the number. We tried another and another—same result. Finally we entered a few business numbers which the database had. In fact the only numbers the reverse lookup service had seemed to be listed numbers available for free on any number of websites like Infospace.com or AT&T’s AnyWho.com.

“We’d love to have people’s business,” McAlpin admitted. “But more important to the industry and the web is that people are careful not to be taken by cheap promises and empty wording. People need to remember, there is no database for cell numbers or unpublished numbers. Anyone claiming otherwise should be assumed a hustler.”

McAlpin says it is important to realize that there are several legitimate databases available to investigators and such companies are not the target of his ire. His warnings only apply to companies advertising to the public and not selling what they claim.

The Cellulartrace.com website, which offers phone number searches on cellular numbers only, has a series of articles on the fraudulent nature of many cost-per-click advertisers. The series is to conclude with a final piece on 6/21/06.

Invitation to Hear from Experts at the 3rd Annual Anti-Ageing Conference London: Programme includes the International Symposium on Regenerative Medicine September 15-17, 2006.

London (PRWEB) 9 June 2006 -- Anti-Aging Conference London today announced its speaker programme – the largest gathering of the world’s preeminent medical speakers on the subject of anti-aging health and regenerative medicine ever to be assembled in London.

The 3rd Anti-Aging Conference (AACL), will be held at the Royal Society of Medicine in London from the 15-17 September 2006. This event offers a unique opportunity to learn from scientists and physicians about the latest medical advances from what some may consider controversial, to the proven and new treatments for the diseases of ageing.

This event is of importance to all medical professionals who wish to be cognisant on the latest medical and scientific developments in anti-aging and rejuvenatory medicine from around globe. It is of particular importance to scientists, nutritionists, gerontologists, chiropractors, pharmacists, pharmaceutical chemists and research specialists, nursing practitioners, naturopathic doctors, dentists, bariatricians and weight management specialists.

Among the speakers are world-renowned experts who have driven the global debate on anti-aging medicine including Dr Robert Goldman, Chairman, American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine and Dr Ronald Klatz, Founding President, American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine; Professor Imre Zs-Nagy, Professor John Ionescu, Dr Michael Klentze, Mr Robert Klein and Professor Irving Weissman. Our keynote speaker on Sunday is Deepak Chopra, one of the world’s leaders in the field of mind body medicine and Ayurvedic medicine.

Heather Bird-Tchenguiz comments: “In most societies around the globe people are living longer so the importance of healthy ageing has never been greater. It is possible for older people to live full and healthy lives well into the latter part of their years but in most cases this does not happen because they and the medical professional are not always aware of the new opportunities that are available to them through anti-ageing medicine.

Primary Research Group Has Published Law Library Benchmarks

The study presents data from a survey of 84 law libraries; data is broken out for law firm, university, government and private company law libraries, and by size of the library’s content budget. The study has approximately 300 tables of data summarizing a broad range of developments in law library policies regarding personnel and salaries, materials spending, procurement, management, reference services, and information policy.

(PRWEB) June 9, 2006 -- Primary Research Group has published Law Library Benchmarks, 2006-07 Edition, ISBN # 1-57440-079-7. The study presents data from a survey of 84 law libraries; data is broken out for law firm, university, government and private company law libraries, and by size of the library’s content budget. The study has approximately 300 tables of data summarizing a broad range of developments in law library policies regarding personnel and salaries, materials spending, procurement, management, reference services, and information policy. Just a few of the study’s finding are that:

•    Close to half of the libraries in the sample have decreased the size of the library within the past five years, and more than half of the law firm libraries have done so. Both small and large libraries have tended to decrease their size.
•    More than 70% of the law libraries in the sample increased their budgets in 2005 and only a shade more than 3% decreased their budgets.
•    Sixty five percent (65%) of the law libraries in the sample expected their budgets to increase in 2006, while only 8.33% expected a decrease.

Law Library spending for contents and materials:
•    The libraries in the sample spent a mean of $561,537 for online databases in 2005. One library spent nearly $7.5 million. The law firm libraries in the sample spent by far the most, spending a mean of $1,036,920.
•    Perhaps surprisingly, expenditures on print resources still account for more than half of the materials/content spending for the libraries in the sample. Only law firm and private company law libraries spend less than half of their content/materials budgets for print resources.

Reference and research policies
•    About half of the libraries in the sample keep a written log of the reference questions that they receive. University law libraries are the most apt to keep written logs, while government libraries were the least likely.
•    Overall, less than 8% of the libraries in the sample say that intellectual property issues are involved in as much as 30% of the library’s research. Indeed, for more than half of the libraries in the sample intellectual property issues are involved in less than 5% of library research projects.
•    For about 70% of the libraries in the sample, questions involving mergers & acquisitions were involved in 5% or fewer of their research projects. As might be expected, law firm and private company law libraries were the most likely to be concerned with mergers and acquisitions as a primary research theme.
•    The law librarians in the sample spent a mean of 4.23 hours online per day, a figure that is generally and surprisingly low for knowledge workers in highly information intensive industries. Print still matters in the law library world, much more so than in the general corporate library world.

Blogs, Listservs and RSS feeds
•    The librarians in the sample spent a mean of 3.93 hours per week reading blogs and listservs.
•    Librarians in the sample traveled away from their offices on library business a mean of 7.67 times in the past year (the median was 4.0). Librarians from law firms traveled more frequently than other law librarians, a mean of more than ten times per year, and university law librarians traveled the least, a mean of 3.75 times per year.

Content and knowledge management
•    Close to half of the law libraries in the sample have parent organizations that have content management systems through which case materials are scanned and made available to attorneys in digital formats
•    Spending on print reporters by the libraries in the sample fell in 2006, with mean spending dropping from $34,815 to $32,819, or by 5.73%. Spending by law firm libraries fell to $40,172 from $46,061, or by 12.8%.

Workstations in the library
•    Workstations from Dell were the most commonly used among the major computer manufacturers. More than 40% of the libraries in the sample used Dell workstations.

Use of jobbers and subscription agents
•    Close to half of the libraries in the sample used a subscription agent to obtain periodicals, though less than half of the law firm libraries in the sample did so and less than forty percent of the government law libraries did so.
•    Less than 9% of law firm libraries use book agents or “jobbers” to obtain their books.

Continuing education for attorneys
•    The libraries in the sample spent a mean of $7,878 annually on continuing and degree-related education for the library staff. Law firm libraries spent the most, a mean of $12,510, and one law firm library spent as much as $100,000.

Internet serach skills of attorneys
•    Most librarians in the sample characterized the internet search skills of the attorneys in their organizations as “Average” but only a shade more than 17% considered them “Proficient” or “Highly Proficient.”

The study is available from Primary Research Group, Inc or from major book distributors. The price is $119.50 (print version) or $139.50 (PDF). To order, go to WWW.Primaryresearch.com or call Mr. James Moses at 212-736-2316.

Troutman Sanders LLP Selects XMLAW to Power Their SharePoint Portal Initiative

XMLAW’s SPxConnect products will provide the platform to increase the availability of critical information and functionality to attorneys and clients.

Canton, MA (PRWEB) June 8, 2006 -- XMLAW announced today that law firm Troutman Sanders LLP has selected XMLAW’s SPxConnect products and technologies to increase internal communication and collaboration, bring together comprehensive information about clients and matters, and provide up-to-date performance metrics to the firm’s financial partners. SPxConnect will be deployed using the firm’s internal resources.

“When evaluating portal solutions, we found XMLAW’s to be the most comprehensive in enabling us to create powerful SharePoint-based intranet applications,” said Brad Sidwell, the firm’s CIO. “We are creating a very robust portal environment that requires deep integration with our existing systems and with SharePoint.

Troutman Sanders LLP, founded in 1897, was built on a progressive approach to understanding their clients’ business and legal challenges and by a proactive focus on developing successful solutions compatible with client business objectives.

Even with a strong technical staff, Troutman Sanders LLP found it difficult and time-consuming to provide the type of integration and functionality they envisioned. “In today’s environment, it is important for us to easily and quickly adapt to changing information needs,” said Sidwell. “It was obvious to us that XMLAW products could help us do that and get us to our vision.”

The SPxConnect products and technologies are core to XMLAW’s Enterprise Portal System, a complete turnkey intranet/extranet portal solution for law firms. SPxConnect provides tools for building compelling intranets and extranets integrated with multiple content sources. The Enterprise Portal System is built exclusively on SharePoint and enhances it by providing a comprehensive suite of integration modules, navigation components, data access and integration middleware, and site templates.

“Our Enterprise Portal System is a complete portal solution enabling firms to build dynamic business solutions integrated with existing technology and custom-built applications,” said Rob Saccone, President and CEO of XMLAW. “After their exhaustive evaluation process, we are pleased that Troutman Sanders chose XMLAW as their platform to build on and achieve their vision.”

By focusing on how attorneys, management and administrative personnel use information, the Enterprise Portal System allows firms to leverage the specialized functionality of multiple systems, such as document management, client relationship management and financial management, while delivering both content and application functionality from these systems in a single, consistent interface available in the context of daily tasks.

Drug Industry Critics Examine Influence of Marketing Tactics in Hard-Hitting Documentary

Experts from around the country discuss the issues within the pharmacuetical industry in the straight shooting documentary Money Talks: Profits Before Patient Safety.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 8, 2006 –- Medical experts and pharmaceutical critics expose the drug industry’s unsafe tactics that are affecting today’s health care system in the timely documentary, Money Talks: Profits Before Patient Safety, which is now available on DVD. The film explores drug industry influence on various levels through interviews with key opinion leaders from Harvard, Columbia, UCLA and more.

Money Talks: Profits Before Patient Safety comes as filmmaker Kathleen Slattery-Moschkau’s second film about the issues within the pharmaceutical industry. Her debut film Side Effects, was a fictional approach to exposing the issues, based on her decade working as a drug sales rep for two of the nation’s top pharmaceutical companies. Because of the overwhelming response from people all over the world, Slattery-Moschkau felt there was a need to leave Hollywood behind, and present a more informational, academic approach to the topic.

“Side Effects generated such an outstanding dialogue on the issues of drug promotion and ethics that we felt compelled to go to the experts,” said Slattery-Moschkau. “Money Talks is the straight-shooting answer to a lot of the questions that consumers need to know.”

In Money Talks, Alex Sugarman-Brozan, JD, of Prescription Access Litigation shares sweeping statistics about the pharmaceutical industry’s marketing force. He cites that there are over 80,000 pharmaceutical sales reps employed in the U.S. alone, or one for every four doctors.

Dr. John Abramson, author of Overdo$ed America, explains how the pharmaceutical companies are taking us away from evidence-based medicine. He shares eye-opening information about how the Federal Drug Administration and New England Journal of Medicine, as well as other respected organizations, are no longer trusted sources for unbiased information on prescription drugs.

Other featured interviews include Dr. Bob Goodman of Columbia University who founded the program No Free Lunch, and Dr. Jerome Hoffman of UCLA Medical School.

For more information on the important issues raised in Money Talks, visit www.moneytalksthemovie.com. To arrange an interview with filmmaker Kathleen Slattery-Moschkau, contact Cari Reisinger of Hummingbird Pictures at (414) 264-1065.

Google AdSense Guru's Breakfast Up for Bid at Ebay

Google AdSense Expert, Joel Comm, was shocked to see his breakfast up for auction at Ebay. Excited at the opportunity to share his food with an unknown bidder, Comm is eagerly donating 30 minutes of his expert consultation to the winner.

Edmond, OK (PRWEB) June 8, 2006 -- No one wants to buy a half-eaten breakfast on eBay... Unless that half-eaten breakfast belongs to a celebrity who is offering 30-minutes of one-on-one personal consulting for the lucky winner of the leftovers! That's precisely what one attendee of Carl Galletti's Internet Marketing Superconference decided to pursue when Google AdSense Expert, Joel Comm, took the stage on Saturday, June 3rd in Las Vegas, Nevada!

Comm, known for his Amazon.com #1 best-selling book, The AdSense Code, took the platform and offered anyone in the audience the opportunity to share his breakfast. Lin Ennis, sitting in the front row, seized the opportunity to enjoy the other half of Joel's bagel with egg and bacon and roasted potatoes. Little did Comm know that his breakfast sandwich would appear on eBay.com, the world's largest auction site, in the form of an auction!

"When I saw my breakfast was up for auction, I thought I would offer the winner the same thing they would receive if they actually sat down to enjoy the breakfast with me” says Joel Comm. “So the winner of the auction will also receive a free 30-minute telephone consultation providing the opportunity to discuss my best Internet money-making strategies.”

Ennis, a resident of Sedona, Arizona, has vowed to donate all proceeds from the breakfast auction to the "Young Internet Entrepreneurs of Sedona". She has also included an additional set of bonuses that would appeal to anyone wanting to learn how to make money online.

Joel Comm's breakfast auction is set to end on June 13, 2006 at 11 am. To view the breakfast and bid on this auction, go to http://www.adsense-secrets.com/breakfast.html

Lisa Beth Older a New York City Divorce Lawyer Offers Important Information on Divorce in New York City or Upstate New York

This article contains general information on divorce and custody and domestic violence by new york divorce lawyer Lisa Beth Older located in New York City, NY with offices in upstate New York.

(PRWEB) June 7, 2006 -- Life started out so great, if felt as though you were locked inside a great big bubble of happiness. You got married to the love of your life and proceeded to have three children. You are young. You were young. Your husband or wife has been taking care of all the bills. Three or four years go by and things are slowing changing. Your husband or wife is not home as much to help you with your household chores or with caravaning the children to their in sundry appointments and birthday parties. You feel isolated and alone. Suddenly you start to see things unraveling. You become unhappy, you start to feel unworthy. You worry because you have no idea what is happening to your life, a life which was once the envy of your single friends.

You wonder... is this the way things are supposed to turn out? Then the arguing begins, sometimes involving verbal abuse or even physical abuse. Sometimes, you just feel isolated and neglected. You have no one to talk to about your changing life. You have asked, but your spouse refuses to see a marital counselor or counsel from your church or synagogue. You can not turn to family, as they are still reminding you of how wonderful your spouse has been, what a wonderful provider he or she is. And then the day comes when your husband or wife tells you that they no longer love you or that they want a divorce or separation.

In New York State, the NYS divorce attorney hears a version of the above fact scenario day in and day out. The above stated fact scenario is more common than you might think. Yet each individual has their own set of circumstances, their own priorities, their own way of looking at things, and things are just not that simple.

You may turn to friends and family and everyone has a different view point on what to do. Stay? Go?

You turn to a therapist to sort out your feelings and invariably you come to terms with the fact that things are going to have to change. Change is a scary thing to confront. The ugly word starts being bantered about. Divorce. Now what.

The first thing you should do is start finding out how to protect the best interests of yourself and your children. If you or your children are being ill treated or abused there are places you can go and things that you can do immediately to stop the abuse.

Call 911. Call child protective services, there is a department in each and every county in New York State. Go to Family Court and get an Order of Protection. Call your family lawyer. Or seek immediate custody of the subject children. At all costs, protect the children from harms way.

And then start worrying about what you must do to begin preparing for divorce. Call a New York City divorce lawyer. If you are in nyc and seek a top nyc divorce lawyer then search the internet and call a few attorneys and find one you are comfortable with. If you are in a smaller town or county you can call your local Bar Association for a referral. But by all means get help. Do not stay in a situation of domestic violence. The NY Family Court has a wonderful history of providing a respite for those in fear of their lives.

And if you feel you just can not go it alone, do not be afraid to seek out professional help from a New York State lawyer. The more experienced ones will know just what to do to protect your legal rights in an efficient way and make you feel comfortable at the same time. Your secrets are safe with a ny divorce lawyer. If the above sounds familiar do not hesitate to act now. Hire a nyc divorce lawyer now.
you are safe and out of harm's way then seek a New York Divorce Lawyer. If you are in New York City then here is a partial list of some shelters you can go to until you have a chance to see a reputable New York Divorce lawyer or New York Family Law Lawyer.

World Marketing, Inc. Pushes Envelope with Proprietary New Service: Marketers Can Have Increased Influence Over Mail Delivery With InsideTrack™

Direct marketers looking to maximize the impact of their marketing message now have the ability to not only track direct mail but also influence the timely delivery of their pieces.

Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) June 6, 2006 -- Direct marketers looking to maximize the impact of their marketing message now have the ability to not only track direct mail but also influence the timely delivery of their pieces.

World Marketing Inc., a premier provider of integrated direct marketing solutions for Fortune 1000 companies nationwide, unveils InsideTrack, a proprietary new service providing direct marketers the ability to strategically place, manage and expedite mail.

InsideTrack uses United States Postal Service (USPS) PLANET® codes to identify and track mail—from the moment it enters the delivery stream until the time it reaches the mail carrier. While many companies offer PLANET® code tracking, World Marketing is the only company offering its proprietary InsideTrack service to actually influence mail delivery.

Because of World Marketing’s in-depth understanding of USPS mail processing, including it’s established network of over 27,000 USPS Destination Delivery Units (DDU’s) and contacts nationwide, it can leverage relationships inside the USPS to quickly address problems, expedite processes and keep mail moving at the desired rate—all to insure on-time delivery, maximize response rates and deliver optimal mail schedules.

“Advances in technology allow marketers an incredible ability to know exactly where outbound and inbound mail is at any given time—valuable information that influences marketing and operational decisions. What may surprise many direct marketers is that this same technology coupled with World Marketing’s service team and established relationships with the USPS provide marketers the ability to go the extra step—actually influencing mail delivery,” says Donna Tracy, executive vice president, Strategic and Marketing Services at World Marketing, Inc. “This is especially important for marketers where inexact delivery during tight timeframes can derail an entire marketing effort.”

InsideTrack is the perfect solution for retailers, financial service companies, travel and hospitality companies and other marketers looking to deliver high-impact outbound marketing messages within a tight in home delivery timeframe. One-day sales or other limited-time events require exact timing in order to reap the full benefit of return on investment. With InsideTrack, World Marketing can track and log mail delivery and deliver optimal mail schedules that generate store traffic and increase sales.

InsideTrack also provides marketers with valuable tools for incoming mail as well. Marketers know exactly where an order is so they can respond to calls accordingly, track when a payment was sent, so they can stop late payment notices, and provide advance notice when orders hit, so marketers can plan when to staff up for fulfillment or do whatever it takes to manage orders and keep customers happy.

About World Marketing, Inc.
World Marketing is the first and only direct marketing company whose Confirm® Service processes are certified by the USPS and awarded “Best in Class for Mail Effectiveness” by the National Postal Forum. World Marketing, Inc. (WMI) is a privately held, full-service direct marketing company that offers its customers best-in-class solutions through eight locations nationwide.

Professional Organizer Calls in The Blog Squad for Wall Street Journal Blog Watch Makeover

Jessica Duquette hates clutter. Her professional organizing services help professionals stay clean so their life flows smoothly. When her blog at http://www.itsnotaboutyourstuff.com was selected by the quarterly Wall Street Journal blog watch on May 15, 2006, she knew she'd better clean up her own stuff before the onslaught of visitors.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) June 6, 2006 -- Jessica Duquette hates clutter. Her professional organizing services help professionals stay clean so their life flows smoothly. When her blog at http://www.itsnotaboutyourstuff.com was selected by the quarterly Wall Street Journal blog watch on May 15, 2006, she knew she'd better clean up her own stuff before the onslaught of visitors.

Enter the Blog Squad: the dynamic duo of Patsi Krakoff, Psy. D. and Denise Wakeman. These blogging experts did a quick 'spring cleaning' to get Jessica's business blog ready for the press and WSJ visitors.

"I started my blog a few months ago by following The Blog Squad's ebook instructions found at http://www.buildabetterblogsystem.com. It was literally invaluable! That ebook was my roadmap as well as my inspiration," explained Ms. Duquette, who lives in Los Angeles.

"Up until that point, I had thought about writing a blog, but I had no idea where or how to begin. The information contained in the book was clear, easy to follow and to the point. I got my blog up and running in a few hours, because I was no longer intimidated by the process. I used almost every tip and strategy that was recommended, and I attribute much of the success of my blog's layout to the information in that book," she added.

When she was notified last month that her blog had been chosen by the WSJ blog watch, she knew she better get some help fixing the layout and features of the blog to make sure it was attractive and effective for her visitors. She called in The Blog Squad for an extreme blog makeover.

Jessica and The Blog Squad worked in half-hour telephone sessions to improve the look of the blog and to make sure it was up to her high professional organizing standards. On WSJ day Ms. Duquette checked her traffic stats and monitored the increase in visitors:

"I kept my Site Meter stats page up all day and watched as the numbers grew and grew with each page refresh! Talk about a high!"

"Like Jessica and her 'It's Not About Your Stuff' blog, many professionals simply don't know how to use the features of their blogging software," explains Ms. Wakeman, "So their traffic is stagnant, their content difficult to navigate and they don't convert readers to clients."

Blogging software doesn't require any special tech skills so any professional can put up a business blog and start posting articles. Therein lies the problem: blogging is too easy. Unless the professional knows how to effectively use a blog as a marketing tool for driving traffic and converting readers to clients, it becomes one more chore to do.

About the The Blog Squad:

Blogging experts Patsi Krakoff and Denise Wakeman are The Blog Squad(tm). They have teamed up to help professionals harness the power of blogs, newsletters, and ecommerce systems to make marketing tasks easier and more effective. Between them they have 16 years of Internet know-how and write on 10 blogs. Patsi and Denise have co-authored "Build a Better Blog: The Ultimate Guide to Boosting Your Business with a Professional Blog," "Confessions of a Reluctant Blogger," the Blog to Book Project, and "Secrets of Successful Ezines: A Guide to Writing and Publishing an Ezine that Gets Results." They know what works and what doesn't. You can read their popular blog at http://www.BuildaBetterBlog.com and get their free weekly ezine Savvy eBiz Tips at http://www.SavvyeBizTips.com

Medical Errors Kill Eleven-Year-Old Boy During Routine Surgical Procedure

Alternatively, the former fighter pilots of LifeWings Partners LLC offers an innovative solution to help eliminate medical errors, decrease open malpractice files, improve observed to expected mortality rates, adherence to antibiotic protocols, and nurse satisfaction survey scores.

Memphis, TN (PRWEB) June 5, 2006 -- Eleven-year-old Justin Micalizzi died during a routine surgical procedure to incise and drain an abscess in his swollen ankle. The incident, reported by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (Facts reprinted from www.IHI.org with permission of {IHI} © 2006), listed careless medical errors and a sloppy approach to safety protocols as the main reasons for the boy’s death.

Unfortunately, Justin’s death is not an isolated incident. “Forty-two percent of Americans report that they have been personally involved in a situation where a preventable medical error was made in their own care or that of a family member,” according to a study by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation. Additionally, a recent report released on the Archives of Surgery titled “Incidence, Patterns, and Prevention of Wrong-Site Surgery,” reveals that many standard procedures now used to prevent wrong-site surgery are ineffective.

The hospital where Justin died was not using a proven safety system being adopted by many proactive hospitals to curb excessive patient-harming errors. The system is based on the same training and safety tools that have made commercial aviation so safe and reliable. Developed by the pilots, former astronauts, and physicians of LifeWings Partners LLC, the system is being taught to medical teams in hospitals around the country.

Vanderbilt University Medical Center is a hospital now using the LifeWings safety system. Prior to implementing the system the facility had a “wrong surgery” rate comparable to the national average. After their collaboration with LifeWings the rate improved to ten times better than the national average. These results have earned Vanderbilt the number one spot in patient safety indicators for the 2005 Leapfrog Hospital Quality and Safety survey.

“The LifeWings approach focuses on catching and detecting slips, trips and lapses before they become significant, patient-harming or fatal mistakes,” said Captain Steve Harden, a commercial airline pilot and president of LifeWings. “No human is perfect, but by using an aviation-based system designed to account for human imperfection, these needless accidents, like the case with Justin, can be virtually eliminated.”

Dr. Stephen B. Smith, Chief Medical Officer at The Nebraska Medical Center, another LifeWings client, agrees with Captain Harden, “Although our work is still in the beginning phases, we have already seen instances of errors captured before they affected the quality of patient care.”

To date, LifeWings has trained over 20,000 healthcare faculty and staff. Organizations that have used the LifeWings program have seen a measured reduction in wrong surgeries, a decline in open malpractice case files, dramatic improvements in observed to expected mortality rates, adherence to antibiotic protocols, and nurse satisfaction survey scores.

About LifeWings Partners LLC

LifeWings Partners LLC was founded by a former U.S. Navy Top Gun instructor and commercial airline pilot. The firm specializes in applying aviation-based teamwork training and safety tools to help healthcare facilities save patients’ lives and reduce costs. The firm has helped over 50 facilities nationwide provide better care to their patients. Measurable results are found in all LifeWings initiatives, including one hospital that experienced a 43% improvement in their observed to expected mortality figures. The firm also conducts Leadership Development workshops for healthcare executives and leaders.

Pixel Advertising Site, Owned by Three College Students in Miami Has Started out Very Successfully

The newest trend in online advertising is pixel advertising. Three young entrepreneurs who grew up in Miami, Florida, are taking advantage of this, by putting a twist on the traditional rectangular page with pixel blocks. The pixel advertising website, www.ownonlinerealestate.com has had a good deal of success so far.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) June 5, 2006 -- The newest trend in online advertising is pixel advertising. Three young entrepreneurs who grew up in Miami, Florida, are taking advantage of this, by putting a twist on the traditional rectangular page with pixel blocks. The pixel advertising website, www.ownonlinerealestate.com has had a good deal of success so far.

“Own online real estate” is not your typical pixel advertising site. Their pixel area is a map of the United States, and they are introducing a new concept to pixel advertising. This concept is geographic targeting. If someone wants to advertise their real estate agency in Montana, they place an ad over a section of Montana.

“We feel that this is possibly the best advertising investment available to business owners today. Where else can you get 6 years of advertising on a well-trafficked website for as low as 100 dollars,” asks Kyle Haines, one of the three owners of the website. Kyle attends Boston College. Navid Zolfaghari attends the University of Florida, and Thomas Avery is enrolled at Arizona State University. The three young entrepreneurs went to high school together and graduated at the top of their class, with Navid and Kyle being Valedictorian and Salutatorian.

So far their site has been widely successful. They have ads all across their pixel map, including Seattle, Denver, Miami, and San Diego. The site has only been active for a little under 2 months, and they have already sold 4900 pixels, and are expecting more purchases this week. “The geographic targeting is a great tool for businesses. It is what gives businesses that advertise with us an edge over their competitors. Their ads will be seen by the people they want to see them,” explains Thomas. They have also implemented an interesting referral program. People, who refer companies to their site, can make a 10% commission on the sale.

The pixel industry is relatively new. Some believe it is going to surpass banner ads and popup ads in popularity. “A lot of the pixel advertising websites are in this to get rich quick,” Navid says. “Our site is unique in that we donate a portion of our profits to the American Diabetes Association. We feel that this is important, in defining our website as a community oriented place. We are adding message boards, and already have a blog. We want people to return to our site, because that will benefit the people that advertise with us.”

Legal Translation and Interpretation Services Provider Launches LitTrans, an Integrated Translation Service for the Legal Industry

1-800-Translate, a leading translation services company (www.1-800-Translate.com), now supports the foreign language translation requirements of law firms and corporate legal documents.

New York, NY (PRWEB) June 5, 2006 -- 1-800-Translate, a leading provider of legal translation and interpretation services, (1-800-Translate.com) today announced the launch of LitTrans, an integrated service that dramatically improves the accuracy and file-processing capabilities of machine translation for the legal industry. The multifaceted LitTrans service includes state-of-the-art machine translation and cost-efficient conversion of data for discovery translation and review in most litigation-support software packages.

“With the internationalization of the practice of law and the growing importance of e-discovery, our clients in law firms and corporate legal departments face escalating demands for translation of foreign language data,” said Ken Clark, chief operations officer at 1-800-Translate. “We’ve answered this challenge by developing a proprietary system that combines E-Discovery best practices with the best machine translation solutions available. Highly accurate machine translation enables attorneys to quickly access multilingual evidence at a fraction of the cost and time of the traditional foreign-language indexing, coding, and translation practices.”

1-800-Translate’s litigation support team then extracts text and metadata from the original data and creates hyperlinks to native files that enable discovery translation and review in most litigation-support software packages including IPRO®, Summation®, Concordance®, Ringtail®, and many other solutions. The system supports more than 200 file formats in most commercial languages, including all major European languages, Arabic, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, and Korean. Electronic documents become manageable data and images.
   
“Our clients can search and review foreign-language documents and files in English in their favorite discovery databases, before expensive foreign language review begins,” said Clark, “This rapid ‘translation triage’ process offers dramatic cost and time savings compared to traditional methods. Attorneys and human translators are freed up to focus their skills on just the data that is critical to the case.”

After privileged or responsive documents are identified, firms and corporate legal departments can take advantage of the certifiable human translators offered by 1-800-Translate. These in-country experts, with law degrees or legal expertise, know the language of the law in the target country ensuring accurate and effective translation. Translators experienced in litigation and the specific case matter will provide accurate, certified translations. The service is customized according to task parameters and client requirements.

“Experts used to be skeptical about the use of machine translation in the litigation process and for good reason,” notes Clark. “But our clients tell us we have now taken legal translation services to the next level and raised the translation bar for the entire industry.” For more information on LitTrans and other services to the legal industry, please visit www.1-800-Translate.com.

About 1-800-Translate

1-800-Translate has provided a full range of multilingual communication services to America’s most prominent law firms for 20 years including Cravath Swaine & Moore; Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and Affiliates; Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP; Shearman & Sterling; and Paul Weiss Rifkind Wharton & Garrison.

Improvements to Lawbby.com Help Site Create Online Community for Lawyers and Legal Professionals

Lawbby.com, a social networking website for lawyers and legal professionals, has begun to fulfill its goal of building an online community where lawyers and legal professionals can go for business, leisure or both. Recent growth has been fueled by improvements made to the site in response to suggestions made by site members and legal bloggers. There is no fee to join Lawbby.com, and setting up a profile takes only a few minutes.

Hilliard, OH, June 02, 2006 --(PR.COM)-- Lawbby.com, a social networking site for lawyers and legal professionals, has begun to fulfill its goal of building an online community where lawyers and legal professionals can go for business, leisure or both. Although the site was launched only a month ago, the pace of membership growth is picking up: during May, the site's membership grew an average of 7% per day.

While lawyers who have been practicing for some time may feel more comfortable with online communities built around older technologies (such as listserves, message boards, forums and newsgroups), those technologies have inherent limitations.  Lawbby.com, like the widely-known MySpace.com, addresses these limitations by allowing members to publish their own blogs, create their own discussion groups and quickly build up a network of friends and contacts.  Lawbby.com will also be sponsoring offline events where "Lawbbyers" can meet and mingle. 

Chris Rempel, Lawbby.com's webmaster, says that the site's growth has been fueled by the many improvements that have been made since the April launch in response to suggestions made by the site's members and by legal bloggers. Rempel explains: "As a result of these changes, the site now focuses more on eliciting information that is relevant to its members. For example, the personal profile category that formerly asked about the member's religion now asks for a practice area instead, and the 'favorite movies' category has been changed to 'education/accomplishments.'"

But Lawbby.com is not intended to compete with LinkedIn, another networking site that focuses on career and business opportunities. "While those kinds of opportunities may arise from relationships started and nurtured on Lawbby.com," Rempel observed, "Lawbby.com is a more informal place for its members to socialize and build their relationships organically. This informality is reflected in the fact that any Lawbby member can contact another member, while on LinkedIn, introductions must generally be mediated by a mutual contact."

According to a recent article in Knowledge@Wharton, an online business journal published by the Wharton School of Business, social networking sites "are ingrained in Internet society . . . . The idea of joining online communities and being able to participate in them is not going to disappear."

There is no fee to join Lawbby.com, and setting up a profile takes only a few minutes. Lawyers and legal professionals can learn more by visiting www.Lawbby.com. 

About Lawbby.com
Lawbby.com, a social networking site where lawyers and legal professionals can go for business, leisure or both, was founded in April 2006 by partners Chris Rempel and Kevin Cross.

MSI Legal & Accounting Network Worldwide (MSI) makes a series of strategic local firm appointments in key marketplaces around the world.

London (PRWEB) June 1, 2006 -- The selective appointment of new member firms in Brazil, China, India, Netherlands Antilles & Aruba, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, United Kingdom, and the USA, boosts MSI's presence to over 240 law and accounting firm members in 95 countries.

By building a strong network of mid-market firms that serve clients of a similar size and profile, MSI is enabling law and accounting firms to develop their international practices and retain the business of those clients that need professional services in international jurisdictions. Just as importantly, MSI provides local firms with the resources they need in order to remain independent, rather than be swallowed up in a merger with a larger firm.

Joining MSI in Little Rock and Conway, Arkansas, is Jack Lyon & Jones PA, an 18-attorney commercial law firm providing a full range of commercial legal services.

In Sacramento, California, MSI welcomes Knudtson & Nutter, a new law firm with specialty practices in litigation, professional malpractice, labor and employment law, and women's rights.

Lehman Lee & Xu has strengthened its MSI presence in China by listing its office in Shenzhen, one of the world's fastest-growing cities. Lehman Lee & Xu is one of China's pre-eminent law firms and is particularly noted for its intellectual property and patent and trade mark practices.

In Sao Paulo, Brazil, MSI has appointed accounting firm Peppe Associados Consultores & Auditores, a firm that is registered with Brazil's Securities & Exchange Commission equivalent, the CVM.

Fanshawe Lofts, a firm of chartered accountants specialising in corporate recovery and insolvency, has joined MSI in Southampton in the UK.

In Istanbul, Turkey, Uskay & Co, a full-service law firm specialising in bankruptcy, litigation and employment law, has joined the network to better service its international client base.

Raju Shah Patel & Kotadia Associates, an accounting firm providing a full range of audit, accounting and tax related services, has been appointed in Ahmedabad, India's seventh largest city.

In Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Al Sabban Certified Accountants, an accountancy practice with a strong audit focus, will be able to provide its clients with an improved range of services using MSI affiliates throughout the Middle East and beyond.

Small Murray Scheper, Attorneys-at-Law, a full service commercial law firm based in the Netherlands Antilles and in Aruba, has joined MSI to extend the scope of services available to its clients.

James Mendelssohn, MSI's Chief Executive, says: "These appointments demonstrate that independent professional firms all over the world view MSI as a strategic marketing tool for winning new work and driving the growth of their international client bases."
