| Inovisi Infracom 2010 Net Profit Jumps 346 Percent to Rp 125 billion, Up from 2009 Posted: 03 May 2011 03:34 AM PDT Inovisi Infracom 2010 Net Profit Jumps 346 Percent to Rp 125 billion, Up from 2009 Indonesia infrastructure investment company growth by acquisition Jakarta, Indonesia (PRWEB) May 03, 2011 PT Inovisi Infracom, one of the country's leading diversified infrastructure company, announced on Tuesday that its financial performance in 2010 was sharply up from a year earlier, boosted by revenue surges in most of its businesses. Inovisi said that audited net profits had reached Rp 125.4 billion, a 346 percent increase from Rp 28.1 billion in the same period earlier. The company's total revenue in the 12 months period jumped by 372 percent to Rp 330.5 billion from Rp 88.7 trillion last year. Inovisi president director Jerry Djajasaputra said that in the last 6 months of year 2010, all the Company's business's lines showed impressive performance, and that he expected the demand for the firm's products and services would remain high. However, he reported the recent capex investment in oil & gas and coal mining business had stressed the company’s resources. "It’s a normal process for business diversification, we hope that the new ventures will give more investment return to shareholders in the long run," Jerry said in a press statement. The company said its telecommunication infrastructure business generates the highest profits of all of its business units. The firm’s cloud data services now reach 40 million users per day, mostly from Asia Pacific countries including Indonesia. “Mobile Internet has boosted many suppliers in the eco-system, such as cloud player VMWare, Riverbed Technology, and Acme Packet, just to name a few listed on NASDAQ”, added Jerry. According to BusinessWeek, as at 2 May 2011, VMWare, Riverbed Technology, and Acme Packet are valued at market capital of US$39b, US$5.2b, US$5.1b, and are traded at P/E of 111x, 157x, and 113x respectively. Jerry said that Indonesia's strong economy, stable inflation rate and faster access to financing had boosted Inovisi’s businesses in the year 2010. The company strong financial performance will help finance business growth strategy by way of acquisition and investment in coming years. "We hope that global and national economic conditions will get better despite several challenges, such as the oil and commodity price hike, which may slower demand, but overall does not slow down our M&A plans" he added.

| Fertility Doctor to Offer New, Cost-Saving Approach to IVF Posted: 03 May 2011 03:21 AM PDT Fertility Doctor to Offer New, Cost-Saving Approach to IVF Novel Treatment Reduces Costs and Overall Side Effects of Traditional IVF Medicines Beverly Hills, CA (PRWEB) May 03, 2011 Peyman Saadat, M.D., Medical Director of the Reproductive Fertility Center (RFC) in Beverly Hills, introduces a new, cost-saving approach to IVF treatments. Known as Mini-IVF, the integrative treatment not only saves patients money, but also can reduce the overall negative side effects of traditional IVF medicines. "IVF success is determined by multiple factors," says Saadat, "including the age of the person, the hormone levels, the condition of the uterus and ovaries, the male's sperm count and the condition of the embryos." He adds that the success rate is somewhere around 60 percent, but decreases with age and is significantly lower after the age of 44. "Other factors that play an important role are stress and the condition of the uterus and ovaries and acupuncture can decrease stress, thereby increasing success rates." Mini-IVF is recommended for patients with unexplained infertility, those not responding to Clomid or other traditional IVF medications, or those with history of ovarian hyper stimulation. Traditional IVF works by giving patients a high dose of follicle stimulating hormones to produce multiple follicles. But in Mini-IVF, the goal is to produce few, but better quality follicles to reduce the side effects and at the same time, have good success rates. In addition, acupuncture used in conjunction with Mini-IVF may improve success rates and help reduce some of the anxiety and side effects related to traditional IVF. Currently at RFC, we offer financial plans for Mini-IVF – the overall savings can amount to 25% off the costs of traditional IVF. RFC has already received a lot of enthusiasm for its Mini-IVF and integrative acupuncture to help infertile couples achieve their dreams of having a health pregnancy. Sadaat is a graduate of the University of Southern California medical school and completed his postgraduate training at the same institution. His postgraduate training included an internship and residency in obstetrics and gynecology in addition to fellowship training in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. About Reproductive Fertility Center: The state-of-the art staff helps female and male patients deal with infertility.

| Crime-Free Team of Bow Hunters Giving Back to Their Communities While Helping Landowners Posted: 03 May 2011 03:21 AM PDT Crime-Free Team of Bow Hunters Giving Back to Their Communities While Helping Landowners There's a lot of confusion – and outright misinformation – about hunters and hunting floating around, but a new nationwide program based in Asheville NC looks to clear it up, promote the activity and make it easier for hunters to get important food to the needy. Asheville, NC (PRWEB) May 03, 2011 “We are food providers,” said Joe Lasher, founder of GameDinner.com, who has created the new Certified Backyard Bow Pro Program. “We are combating the stereotype that so many property owners have and it’s working.” The mission is simple: to give hunters the credibility they deserve and to make it easier for game to be delivered to those who really need it through the Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry program. The Certified Backyard Bow Pro Program will verify its members as crime-free citizens and licensed ethical hunters, who are provided with photo identification and other tools and credentials that offer transparency to property owners. "This program seems to envelope all that is good in archery and archery hunting and I don't know why anyone wouldn't get involved," says one industry professional. By combining the crime-free backgrounds of team members with the food relief efforts of FHFH, Lasher's Team has created a win-win-win scenario. Bow hunters are securing private hunting land by showing landowners they've taken steps to ensure their safety; landowners are receiving help with deer damage (and, subsequently are keeping trespassers off their property); and the community benefits by receiving lean, healthy, hunter harvested venison through food banks, churches and soup kitchens. Lasher also believes that the wildlife benefits as team members are working to restore a natural balance to the properties. ### For the original version on PRWeb visit: http://www.prweb.com/releases/prwebBYBP/05/prweb5282114.htm

| Cool Clubs Custom Golf Club Fitting Expands to San Francisco Bay Area Posted: 03 May 2011 03:20 AM PDT Cool Clubs Custom Golf Club Fitting Expands to San Francisco Bay Area Cool Clubs, the world's leading custom golf club fitting company, opens a new, high-tech custom-fitting studio to serve the San Francisco Bay Area. The rapid growth of Cool Clubs has been fueled by their proprietary technology that turns custom fitting into an exact science for golfers of all skill levels. (PRWEB) May 03, 2011 Cool Clubs, the world's leading custom golf club fitting company, has announced the opening of their new club-fitting studio serving the San Francisco Bay Area. The new high-tech studio incorporates over 3,000 square feet of space at the Mariner's Point Golf Course & Driving Range in Foster City, CA. The studio features two indoor fitting bays, the ability to go outdoors and take measurements while hitting off of grass, and their proprietary putting studio that uses 8 high-speed cameras. Mark Timms, Founder and CEO of Cool Clubs states, "Our rapid growth has been fueled by superior technology, the expertise of our fitters and club builders, and personalized service to each golfer. That's what we are bringing to the new studio to help Bay Area golfers of all skill levels play better golf." Cool Clubs uses the best technology available to collect complete data about each golfer's swing and club performance characteristics. This data is then interpreted by Cool Clubs' proprietary software to identify the ideal equipment for each golfer's swing. Cool Clubs offers fittings for the Driver, Long Game, Irons and Putter. "We offer more demos of club and shaft combinations than anyone, with over 25,000 possible combinations," states Timms. "We use our own custom connection system along with those of all the major brand manufacturers. This gives us the ability to fine-tune the performance of each club more precisely." A Cool Clubs fitting session includes testing the golfer's current clubs to measure loft, lie, swing weight and shaft frequency. The launch monitor then tracks club impact, ball flight, spin, clubhead speed and carry distance for the current clubs. Cool Clubs software then evaluates the data and recommends changes to club configurations. The player then compares the results using clubs that incorporate the changes. "With off-the-rack clubs, there can be significant variations in club performance within the same set, plus golfers lack the data needed to understand what club-shaft-grip combination is best for their swing," states Timms. "We assure the golfer that every club in the bag is precisely tuned for their swing. Since we work with all the major club manufacturers, we can identify the best fit for each golfer." The new club-fitting studio is centrally located in Foster City, putting it less than 45 minutes drive for golfers from Marin County to San Jose as well as throughout the East Bay. Cool Clubs was founded in 2007 and is based out of Scottsdale, AZ. Cool Clubs currently has three club-fitting studios in Scottsdale, AZ, as well as studios in Dallas, TX, Irvine, CA, and Tokyo, Japan. CEO Mark Timms has been in the custom golf club fitting business since 1990. He has been an industry leader in developing data-driven performance solutions for golf clubs. # # # For the original version on PRWeb visit: http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb2011/5/prweb8360390.htm

| J. Dash Chosen as Stereofame.com’s Artist of the Month for May 2011 Posted: 03 May 2011 03:20 AM PDT J. Dash Chosen as Stereofame.com's Artist of the Month for May 2011 The renaissance man behind the "WOP" dance phenomenon refuses to be pinned down by labels. (PRWEB) May 03, 2011 From child piano prodigy to blues & jazz virtuoso to…rising hip/hop superstar? Oddly enough, this description only scratches the surface of Stereofame.com's May 2011 Artist of the Month, J. Dash. The Florida native who was playing Mozart at age 8 is now busy crafting instant dance classics that are every bit as hot and sticky as the state he calls home. Despite already having a string of radio-ready, booty-shaking anthems to his credit, J. Dash considers himself to be a student of all styles of music. Between his roles as a rapper, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist with a degree in computer science from the University of Florida (of all things), to say J. Dash wears many different hats would be an understatement. "When I come across something I like I want to learn everything about it and really understand it," he said of his diverse musical tastes. But for J. Dash, the world of hip/hop holds a special place in his heart. "When I was growing up, hip/hop was kind of dangerous, it was music I wasn't supposed to be listening to," he said. "(I) would sneak out of the house to go see some underground show…and it just became a part of my soul." Although having already amassed an impressive collection of material, J. Dash's pulse-pounding dance hit, "WOP," is starting to inspire some much-deserved buzz. (see video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vb2Oqfj_c70. Here, the official music video (in addition to the Director's Cut), both featuring J. Dash's friend and major label rapper Flo Rida, is quickly approaching ½ million views on YouTube since its release 4 months ago. "The WOP was a dance that me and my friends grew up doing, but we never had a name for it," J. Dash said, "I thought it looked like we were wopping and the name stuck. The track came together in about three hours." In fact, J. Dash approached "WOP," with the same breakneck ferocity with which he approaches all of his music. Preferring to write his lyrics on the spot in the studio, J. Dash's rhymes have an urgency and spontaneity that is infectious. According to J. Dash, through Stereofame's unique platform, he has been able to introduce a worldwide audience to his music in a brand new way. "We have the power," he said of Stereofame's artist-friendly format. "We decide who we want to sign to our labels and it's all wrapped up in a game, how genius is that?" With "WOP" poised to be a world-wide dance phenomenon, J. Dash isn't showing any signs of slowing down. A new album is slated for release next month and while J. Dash is tight-lipped about the details of the new record, he does offer one prediction. "It's going to be big," he said. "All I'm going to say is 'I told you so.'" Stereofame Founder Ken Underwood agrees and has added his own indicia to WOP. "For me, WOP stands for 'With Out Prejudice.' No matter who you are or what you do, everybody loves to WOP. It breaks social, economic and cultural barriers. If music is the universal language, then WOP is the universal dance." The "WOP" single and ringtone are now available for download on iTunes at http://stereofa.me/ituneswop and through Amazon at http://stereofa.me/amznwop. To hear more from J. Dash, check out http://www.stereofame.com/jdashmusic. StereoFame is debuting their 2.0 version in September as a multiplayer game application on Facebook. It's like fantasy football, but for music.

| London Design Agency Dhub Release Commemorative Royal Wedding Collection Posted: 03 May 2011 03:19 AM PDT London Design Agency Dhub Release Commemorative Royal Wedding Collection London graphic design agency Dhub is releasing a royal wedding collection of tableware, including mugs, plates and teapots. (PRWEB) May 03, 2011 London graphic design agency Dhub http://www.dhub.com is releasing a royal wedding collection of tableware, including mugs, plates and teapots. The design is characteristically clean and modern, yet also traditional: the perfect way to commemorate the wedding of the generation. Dhub's royal wedding collection has been carefully designed to capture both the traditional and contemporary feel of the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton. This is a wedding collection for the Facebook generation of royals, recognising both the ceremony and history of the event, but also its vibrant and contemporary nature. The range of plates, mugs and teapots reflects the changing face of the royal family over time and its continuing role in British life. The designs take the couple's names and the Union Jack as their starting point and develop these themes to create a statement about British culture. The resulting royal wedding collection has elements that are both iconic and fresh, traditional and modern. All of the designs, as well as some of their ideas from the development process, can be viewed on line. The creative and imaginative designs have understated appeal that will make them timeless, embodying Dhub's own principles of strong branding and capable design along with the royal family's ongoing relevance to British society. Each piece is marked with the date of the ceremony, 29 April 2011, ensuring that they remain collectable for future generations in the same way that previous high quality royal wedding collections have been. At the same time, the pieces are not intended to be collectables that simply sit on a shelf. They have been designed as 'every dayables' for the younger generation of royalists to enjoy, that will become collectable by virtue of their distinctiveness. Dhub's creative and respectful approach to a royal wedding collection stands apart from the cheap and opportunistic flood of 'collectables' on the market, and will be of interest to the new generation of British royalists as well as older royal-watchers and tourists hoping to capture something of this landmark event. To view the Royal Wedding commemorative collection, visit http://www.dhub.com/work/identity/royal-wedding-collection. # # # For the original version on PRWeb visit: http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb2011/5/prweb5277514.htm

| Posted: 03 May 2011 02:50 AM PDT Parksite Celebrates 40 Years of Supplying Specialty Materials and Providing Customer Education to the Building Industry Parksite Celebrates 40 Years of Success (PRWEB) May 03, 2011 Parksite, a 100% employee-owned sales, marketing and distribution company, is pleased to announce its 40th anniversary in the building industry. Parksite is one of the fastest growing building materials suppliers in the United States. The company operates in every state east of the Mississippi, offers 23 product lines and has more than 300 associates in 12 locations. "As employee-owners we are all very proud of our collective effort," said George A. Pattee, Parksite CEO and Chairman of the Board. "Our family of associates is committed to education and providing the building industry with quality and innovative products. We all are vested in the success of the company, and that enthusiasm shows itself everyday through hard work, dedication to the job, across-the-board camaraderie and most importantly, customer satisfaction." "Forty years is quite an accomplishment, especially considering how difficult the last few have been in our industry. The fact our associates are the only shareholders is one of the keys to Parksite's sustainability," said Ronald C. Heitzman, Parksite President. "Not only do our people focus on doing their jobs well, they focus on doing the right thing for our customers, our suppliers and for the company we own together. That drives our success." Parksite was founded in 1971. As a part of its growth strategy, the company acquired east coast building supplier Plunkett-Webster in 2000, Metro-Sloan in 2001, and Eastern Distributors in 2005, and increased its territory expansion for one of its major product lines in northern Indiana and northern Ohio, in 2010. Parksite will celebrate its anniversary through the end of 2011. The festivities began in winter when CEO George Pattee and President Ron Heitzman visited associates at all Parksite locations and briefing them on the company's continued vision and strategy. This summer, there will be a company-wide competition in which associates will build and decorate eight playhouses to be donated to charity. In 2009, Parksite associates, across the organization, participated in the "Power of 100," where employees brainstormed on hundreds of ideas to save thousands of dollars. As a part of the anniversary celebration and an extension of the 2009 campaign, associates will each be given $100 to make a difference in their communities. Parksite affiliates itself with organizations in the building industry and currently assists Habitat for Humanity, the American Red Cross and HomeAid, (a national non-profit provider of housing for the homeless) with building materials and on-site people power. "The name Parksite is synonymous with innovation, quality products, customer education and employee pride," said Pattee. "We look forward to the next 40 years and beyond."

| TriMix for Travel™ New Non-Refrigerated ED Trimix Posted: 03 May 2011 01:32 AM PDT TriMix for Travel™ New Non-Refrigerated ED Trimix ED Patients Delighted They No Longer Carry Ice Packs Pensacola FL (PRWEB) May 03, 2011 American Pharmacy Solutions, LLC, and TriMix Laboratories, LLC, today announced the results of their new collaboration called TriMix for Travel™. TriMix for Travel™ is an alternative form of the erectile dysfunction (ED) treatment known as trimix for injection or just "trimix". Trimix is a compounded medication popular with many ED patients who self-inject the medicine. Well informed ED patients who can tolerate self-injection most often prefer trimix saying it provides the best results. One potential problem with trimix is that is has to be refrigerated. That means patients away from home need to carry their medicine in ice packs. TriMix for Travel™ needs no refrigeration. Darian Chandler, COO of American Pharmacy, commented "ED patients have long been asking for a trimix type medicine that does not have to be refrigerated. We are very pleased to be the only pharmacy in America to figure out how to do this and to do so at the patient friendly price level we established".

| Reducing Track and Wheel Wear — Wheel Flange Lubrication at Railtex Posted: 03 May 2011 01:31 AM PDT Reducing Track and Wheel Wear — Wheel Flange Lubrication at Railtex Rowe Hankins to Show Wheel Flange Lubrication at Railtex – A System to Reduce Rail Track and Wheel Wear Bury, Lancashire (PRWEB UK) 3 May 2011 Products designed for enhanced safety, reliability and maximum uptime for high speed rail, commuter and tram services feature prominently on the stand of IRIS Certified rail systems suppliers Rowe Hankins at Railtex. (Stand A15) The company pioneered wheel flange lubrication in the UK and report growing acceptance and interest in their on-train lubrication controller, iWFL (intelligent Wheel Flange Lubrication). These systems reduce wear to wheel sets and subsequent downtime for maintenance – a major plus for train operating companies. Noise reduction on tight radius curves, common at station entrances and on urban tramways, has been proven in recent trials. Rail network companies see reduced track wear and can dispense with maintenance intensive high-cost trackside lubricators. Environmental benefits arise from the more discriminating use of lighter, water based, lubricants that are less persistent and friendlier to the environment. In the iWFL package, speed and distance sensors are allied with global positioning systems (GPS), gyroscope tilt detection or trackside transponders to map and store the precise location and severity of all track sections and curves that need lubrication. Available as a complete lubrication package or as a control unit that can be mated to the operator's preferred lubrication system, the iWFL is easily retro-fitted to existing rolling stock. On underground systems, or longer tunnels, where the GPS unit is unable to function it may be substituted for a fixed position transponder from which the control unit calculates curve distance and duration. One of the core technologies for Rowe Hankins, is the Hall-effect based speed direction and distance sensor. The company has unrivalled experience derived from the supply of many thousands of these systems that are in daily use throughout the global rail industry. In addition to the iWFL and speed sensors, Rowe Hankins will also be showing the NIC361 Series Monitor. This is a non-intrusive DC current monitor that has trackside applications in safeguarding plant and can be used on vehicles to protect against reverse polarity in supply. Output signals from the unit are configured to give visual indication, record or interrupt supply depending on the nature of the event. Rowe Hankins introduced high integrity Eaton hydraulic magnetic circuit breakers to rail industries in the UK over 20 tears ago. These are noted for their tolerance to environmental extremes of temperature, vibration and dust. Their ability to discriminate between transient conditions that pose no real threat and genuine hazards makes them ideal for rail where reliability and avoiding nuisance tripping are essential for maximum rolling stock availability. Rowe Hankins' residual current breaker overload RCBO ensures life protection from earth leakage with precise operation. A push button enables a trip condition to be simulated so that the RCBO can be periodically tested. Units can be reset immediately. This product has been jointly engineered with Eaton. The UK partner to leading international rail systems companies, Rowe Hankins will also show on-train monitoring and recording equipment (OTMR's) from HaslerRail and contactors from Secheron.

| Exploring ‘The Transformation Process Of A People’ Posted: 03 May 2011 01:06 AM PDT Exploring 'The Transformation Process Of A People' New book delves deep into this particular occurrence—transformation process—of Black people from BC Africa up to 1619 America. Chicago, IL (PRWEB) May 03, 2011 Since time immemorial, people have been looking at the story of their origin. They study their history and development not only as an individual, but as a people in general, to answer the recurring questions that affect their existence. Just like the many questions relating to the Black people, many individuals try to clarify and search for the truth about its history. In his book, The Transformation Process Of A People: from BC Africa up to 1619 America, with reference to modernity for comparative analysis, author D-kha'D presents an in-depth study to uncover the truth of the Black people's history. This book looks at the occurrences that affected the Black people of America—the descendants of kidnapped Africans made slaves by Europeans—consequently making them the people they are today.

| Posted: 03 May 2011 01:06 AM PDT Celebrity Poker Tournament at Bartels' Route 66 in Marina Del Rey, CA: The Kelly Hu/Best Buddies Second Annual Charity Poker Tournament Rocked the House Actress Kelly Hu (X-men, Scorpian King, Hawaii 5.0) hosted a celebrity charity poker tournament with Glenn Bartels of Route 66 Modern Classics in Marina Del Rey, California. Proceeds from the event go directly to benefit Best Buddies International charity. Seventy-five generous people and close friends attended the private event to have a great time while supporting a great cause. Marina Del Rey, CA (PRWEB) May 03, 2011 Good Friday was indeed good for seventy-five generous people invited to play in a private charity poker tournament. Kelly Hu, actress and professional poker player, hosted a charity benefit poker tournament for seventy-five friends at Route 66 Modern Classics in Marina Del Rey, CA. http://www.rt66mc.com The “Buy In” donation was set at $100.00 per person getting each player $2,000 worth of DJ Vegas Poker chips. Players of all skill levels were in attendance surrounding seven Vegas style poker tables, which had been brought into Bartels’ Route 66 showroom. Normally, on a visit to Bartels’ eclectic, cycle boutique showroom in Marian Del Rey, CA you would find it packed with Harley-Davidson motorcycles, vintage Vespas and Lambrettas, as well as an array of amazing looking bicycles from Gazelle and Worksman Cycles. Bartels’ Route 66 is truly an adult candy store of fun two-wheeled toys for kids of all ages. “Three of the manufactures of the products we represent are over 100 years old.” says Glenn Bartels, Route 66 owner. “Gazelle has been making urban transportation bicycles in the Netherlands for over 120 years, Worksman Cycles started manufacturing bicycles in NYC in 1892, and of course everyone knows Harley-Davidson was born in 1903 in Milwaukee, WI” Baby Blues BBQ ribs n’ chicken donated an abundance of sticky finger delights for the hungry tournament players. Wine, beer, and adult cocktails were poured to liven up the evening. “You’ve got to pay the blind to see the flop,” says the dealer. Which is Poker-ease for you’ve got to place your bet to see the first three cards of the river. Spend five minutes on Google or watching The World Series of Poker on cable TV to refine these catch phrases into understandable definitions. Many of the players on April 22nd were novices, while many have been playing for years. All skill levels were represented at the seven tables. Vegas tournament style Texas Hold’em Poker is a serious game of skill. And many players were competitively out to win the grand prize: a weekend in Las Vegas complete with show tickets, dinner for two, and spa package. “Austin Powers” actor, Vern Troyer, attended for the second year in a row; as well as singer, songwriter and musician Mitch Allan, who played until the chips ran out. Proceeds from the night’s festivities went to Best Buddies International. Started by Anthony Shriver in 1989, Best Buddies has become the worlds largest non-profit organization. Their mission is to provide opportunities, friendship, employment and leadership development for people living with IDD (Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities). With more than 1,500 chapters around the world, Best Buddies positively impacts the lives of 700,000 participants and growing. http://www.bestbuddies.org/ The seventy five players were whittled down to the final two by midnight. No one was able to knock card shark Kelly Hu out of the tournament despite a rather large bounty reward for doing so. Last year’s second place winner, Dan Marrow, finally emerged victorious just after midnight. No one left empty handed – generous Romero Britto Swag Bags were passed to each parting guest, all of who were looking forward to attending next year’s event. Second prize was a weekend Harley-Davidson motorcycle rental package donated by Bartels’ Route 66. About Bartels; Glenn Alan Bartels is a Harley guy from birth. A love for motorcycles is in his blood as the Bartels' family of Los Angeles, California has been in the Harley-Davidson industry for over twenty-five years. http://www.bartelsharley.com/ Seeing a need for Harley-Davidson motorcycle rentals, in 1994 at age 27, Glenn Alan took his five personal, custom Harleys to pioneer the Harley-Davidson Rental world. Today, sixteen years later, Bartels’ Route 66 carries over 150 late model Harley’s for rent to the public, as well as movie production studios. Their clientele is predominantly European tourists here to become cowboys in the wild, wild, west; as well as local, weekend motorcycle enthusiasts. Seeing a need for economical “Green” transportation in West L.A., Bartels’ has recently expanded beyond the Harley rental world to sell scooters and urban bicycles. “Many of our scooters get between 90-140MPG; and did you know riding a bicycle equates to approximately 900MPG of calorie burning!” explains Bartels. http://www.route66riders.com # # # For the original version on PRWeb visit: http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb2011/5/prweb8358651.htm

At the end of the meal, the Smartbox card will be handed to the server and the meal is paid for. It is a simple and delicious dining experience for anyone to enjoy.

| New Nonfiction Teaches How to Parent Bravely Posted: 03 May 2011 01:04 AM PDT New Nonfiction Teaches How to Parent Bravely Author Liz Mendoza sets parents straight about the realities of single-parenting. Copiauge, NY (PRWEB) May 03, 2011 "For the record, I hate kids." These are the fighting words of author and dedicated mother Liz M. Mendoza in her new nonfiction book, How to Beat Your Kids Without Leaving a Mark (published by Trafford Publishing). In an age where teen moms are making headline news and parenting experts still can't come to an agreement on corporeal punishment, Mendoza's firsthand account of motherhood – its joys, heartbreaks and offenses – is a refreshing breath of air. "It starts out since they're born you know," writes Mendoza, a woman who knows what it is like to be a young, single mother. "Yeah, that cute button-nosed, blue-eyed wrinkled five pound seven ounce trouble I brought into this world. I knew it then, exhausted in that hospital room, that he was no angel and the battle was yet to begin." Hysterically funny and exasperated, Mendoza chronicles her journey as a young mother who has to raise her son against the forces of "progressive" education, loser friends and a whole generation bent on un-doing everything their parents have done for them. How to Beat Your Kids Without Leaving a Mark is about informing parents of the realities of parenting, that they are not alone in their frustration, desperation and unbearable love. Mendoza shares her personal experiences to great effect, including confrontations with her son's absent father, mediating her son's foray into young adulthood and finally choosing to let her son make his own mistakes as a young man. A startling testimony to the kind of connection shared between a single mother and her son, this book tackles the kind of questions and dilemmas that get to the heart of single parenting. Full of love, hate, disappointment and pride, How to Beat Your Kids Without Leaving a Mark let's parents in on the reality of motherhood and how to beat the game of parenting. About the Author: Trafford Publishing, an Author Solutions, Inc. author services provider, was the first company in the world to offer an "on-demand publishing service," and has led the independent publishing revolution since its establishment in 1995.

| How to Save Time and Money When a Spouse Dies in California Posted: 03 May 2011 01:03 AM PDT How to Save Time and Money When a Spouse Dies in California The Riverside law firm of Albertson & Davidson, LLP recently held a discussion with clients and friends of the firm to educate them on the various options spouses have to avoid probate in California. Riverside, CA (PRWEB) May 03, 2011 The Riverside law firm of Albertson & Davidson, LLP recently held a discussion with clients and friends of the firm to educate them on the various options spouses have to avoid probate in California. Probate is a court process that assets of a decedent must pass through before being distributed to his heirs or beneficiaries under a Will. Whenever a person dies with or without a Will, any assets held in their individual names are subject to the probate procedure. "It is surprising to me how many people believe that assets must be probated before passing to a surviving spouse" says named partner Keith A. Davidson. "There are other methods that can be used, including a Spousal Property Petition to allow assets to pass to a spouse without having to engage in a full-blown probate." According to Davidson, the "Spousal Property Petition" is a summary filing that takes far less time and effort to complete than a regular probate procedure. The petition is not only a time saver, it can also substantially reduce the costs of transferring assets to the surviving spouse. "The fees in probate are set by statute and are based on a percentage of the estate value" explains partner Stewart R. Albertson. "For example, the statutory fee for an estate valued at $500,000 is $13,000 for the attorneys and another $13,000 for the executor, for a total fee of $26,000." The fee increases with the amount of the estate, explains Albertson, so an estate valued at $1 million would have fees double this amount, or $54,000. "These fees can be reduced to around $5,000 to prepare and file a Spousal Property Petition, that's a reduction in fees of $21,000—a real money saver" says Albertson. Unfortunately, few people are aware of the Spouse Property Petition option when a spouse dies. As a result, many spouses are forced to engage the probate process never knowing they could save themselves both time and money (substantial money) with the petition. "Of course, probate only applies if a spouse failed to prepare a proper estate plan that includes a Trust" says Davidson. "And many people don't understand that a Will must pass through probate just like someone dying without a Will does. It is the Trust that makes the difference so that probate can be avoided altogether." However, if probate is a must because a Trust was not used, then at least with spouses there is an easier and less costly alternative by using the spousal petition. Albertson & Davidson, LLP are lawyers who believe in helping people resolve problems, thinking differently to resolve those problems and fighting for fairness and justice. They are experienced Trust, Estate and Probate litigators. Albertson & Davidson, LLP has two offices in Riverside County—Riverside and Temecula—and can be reached at (951) 686-5296, on the web at http://www.aldavlaw.com, and at their blog: http://www.CaliforniaTrustEstateandProbateLitigation.com. ### For the original version on PRWeb visit: http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb2011/5/prweb8351017.htm

| InetSoft Offers Aberdeen Group’s Survey Report on the Benefits of Agile Business Intelligence Posted: 03 May 2011 01:03 AM PDT InetSoft Offers Aberdeen Group's Survey Report on the Benefits of Agile Business Intelligence One of the top benefits found: enabling manager self-sufficiency. Piscataway, NJ (PRWEB) May 03, 2011 InetSoft Technology, an innovator in dashboard, reporting and data mashup solutions, announced the availability for free download of Aberdeen Group's research report: “Agile BI: Three Steps to Analytic Heaven.” InetSoft is a sponsor of the business intelligence survey report. A top theme found in the research on the use of business intelligence (BI) is that most organizations are trying to enable business managers to be more self-sufficient in their use of BI. An example of one finding is that companies are facing the twin pressures of growing data volumes and shorter reaction times. “The number one strategy to achieve a more agile BI solution is clearly to enable business users to be more self-sufficient in their use of BI,” said David White, senior research analyst, Aberdeen Group. “Sixty-four percent (64%) of all survey respondents are heading down that path. That often requires a change in organizational culture to empower business managers to make decisions, as well as analytical skills and training to be pushed down to the line of business. Once that foundation is in place, the right tools are required to let business users explore data interactively so that they no longer need to bombard IT with change requests each time they want to see something new or different.” “Several years ago we set agility as a primary development goal for our business intelligence application, Style Intelligence,” commented Mark Flaherty, CMO at InetSoft. "We heard users complaining about the inflexibility of traditional BI solutions, particularly the slow response times to changes in data access requirements. We used that input as direction to creating our powerful data mashup engine that is pivotal in our delivery of maximum levels of agile business intelligence.” To obtain a complimentary copy of the report, please visit: http://www.inetsoft.com/info/aberdeen_agile_bi_benchmark_report_download/. InetSoft is a pioneering developer of business intelligence software with fifteen years of experience providing analytic and reporting solutions to enterprises and OEMs. The company's flagship BI application, named Style Intelligence, is a full-featured business intelligence solution that is 100% Java at the server level and HTML, JavaScript, and Flash at the client level. The Web-based BI solution's SOA architecture and open standards-based technology make it ideal for wide-scale deployment as a standalone application or for rapid embedding into other Web-based solutions. The product's high-performance data access engine and data mashup capability allows organizations to combine disparate data sources ranging from data warehouses to operational data stores such as those in ERP or CRM applications to web service data feeds.

For meters in extreme weather conditions, durability is a primary concern when evaluating barcode technology options. That's why many utility companies are turning to Camcode for their Metalphoto® anodized aluminum utility asset labels, which remain readable for 30 years, even in the harshest conditions. "Our meters sit outside for 20 or 30 years," said one major U.S. gas supplier that currently uses Camcode asset labels on its meters. "There's no other barcode badge (than Camcode's) that has a chance of making it that long. It was much more durable than the closest competitor." This gas supplier installs 20,000 to 30,000 Camcode asset tags a year on new meters placed in the field. These property tags play a critical role in tracking the status of the meters from cradle to grave. The barcode labels are being read every time a meter is taken into inventory, shipped out and installed, removed from service or received and tested for accuracy. Using barcode technology versus manually keying in the meter's serial number reduces errors and increases efficiency. "The barcodes are eliminating mistyped numbers and speeding up the time it takes to accurately manage and track our meters," the gas supplier said. As they implement a new asset management system, the gas supplier said they expect reliable asset tags to become even more critical. "Camcode's asset labels are a crucial part of achieving best practices in asset management for utility companies and any other organization that must track assets," said Jon Keserich, VP of Sales for Camcode. "Our asset tags virtually eliminate the errors caused by manual data collection, and deliver greater productivity and reduced labor costs associated with asset management." ABOUT CAMCODE: Founded in 1979, Camcode is a recognized worldwide leader in the design and manufacture of durable pre-print barcode labels, such as asset tags and UID labels for asset tracking and unique identification (UID) applications. Camcode's asset tags improve the efficiency of asset tracking systems by eliminating errors caused during manual data collection and increasing data acquisition speed. Camcode's Metalphoto® anodized aluminum barcode labels, premium plastic label constructions, and proprietary coating technologies satisfy the most demanding applications.

| Energy Management Resources Reports on the Volatility of Natural Gas Prices Posted: 03 May 2011 01:02 AM PDT Energy Management Resources Reports on the Volatility of Natural Gas Prices Shale continues to take center stage, albeit with mixed opinions, which is adding volatility to the direction of natural gas prices. (PRWEB) May 03, 2011 EMR – Based on last months New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX), Natural Gas prices are holding between $4.20 to $4.30 per MMBtu. Many factors come into play with when pricing commodities on NYMEX; however, all eyes continue to focus on the game changer – Shale Gas. Energy Management Resources is seeing a lot of clients re-analyze their hedging strategies as a result. Shale continues to take center stage, albeit with mixed opinions, as compared to previous robust projections. These mixed opinions are adding some volatility to the direction of natural gas prices. Yet, it looks like North American producers are scaling back due to economics. Here are the some facts regarding the economics of shale gas:
What some know about this game-changer is that the new drilling technologies that have proved so successful for natural gas may now provide an impact on the world oil supply. Oil brings much higher returns than gas, so many investors have already begun to pressure Boards of Directors about their investments. While debt rollovers, new equity offerings, and asset lease sales have financed the shale gas boom, disappointing cash flows are leading some investors to jump off the bandwagon. A thousand cubic feet (Mcf) of U.S. natural gas once sold for a tenth of the price of a barrel of oil, but now that spread has widened tremendously – One (1) Mcf of gas now sells for a twentieth, or less, of the price of a barrel of oil. Major shale producers see today’s gas prices making the economics of shale gas, as well as conventional gas, increasingly unprofitable. Weak cash flows have spurred investor concerns that these companies may no longer be able to meet wellhead break-even costs at those prices.
Low natural gas prices are the result of many factors and the technology behind shale gas is seen as the central game changer, as it may assume a similar role in oil exploration. Although the potential environmental impacts of producing shale gas are being questioned, shale gas producers are redeploying their drilling dollars to oil targets searching for higher returns. According to Baker Hughes last week, the number of natural gas rigs operating in the US fell for a fifth consecutive week to a ten-month low. By shifting from gas to oil, the technology has lifted hopes of the first significant rise of onshore U.S. oil production in decades. In five to eight years, the technology could add a million barrels of oil a day to U.S. supplies. Analysts stress the importance of this switch in exploration activity. Moving from shale gas to oil won’t be without consequences for future gas supply, as the effect of more rigs drilling for oil will have an impact gas prices. The oil exploration industry has already moved to riskier finds, such as Alberta tar sands and deep-water drilling. There probably isn’t a whole lot of "easy oil" left to find. Thus, the oil industry thinks it can benefit from the shale gas technology developed by its siblings in the natural gas sector.

| Fire Can Ruin a Summer Vacation Fast: Better Bring a Dustwand Just in Case Posted: 03 May 2011 01:02 AM PDT Fire Can Ruin a Summer Vacation Fast: Better Bring a Dustwand Just in Case The Dustwand and ordinary baking soda combine to stop small fires. Bring them along for peace of mind. North Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) May 03, 2011 Each year some automobiles are destroyed by fires erupting under their hoods, some resulting in fatalities. Most motorists do not equip their vehicles with fire extinguishers for several reasons. The typical fire extinguisher is too big to store easily inside the auto. They tend to be expensive and difficult to actuate, and may not function due to loss of pressure or caking of their powdered contents. Once actuated, they need to be re-filled and re-pressurized, or replaced. The mess that they create requires a substantial cleanup effort, even when used on a very small fire. Drivers should have some user friendly easily stowed device to deal with the threat of fire, especially on a family vacation. The Dustwand may be the best device available to deal with the threat of a car fire, or to positively extinguish the fire at a camp site. The Dustwand, about the size of a soda bottle, is very user friendly. Operable even by a small hand, this syringe bulb type powder sprayer is actuated by simply squeezing it gently with one hand while pointing it at the target. The Dustwand is patented* for both its ability to spray up, down or sideways and for its particle separating ability. It quickly and easily sprays baking soda onto the fire with just a squeeze of its syringe bulb. The baking soda covers the burning surface evenly, cutting off the oxygen supply, and baking soda, when exposed to heat, produces carbon dioxide, further cutting off the fire’s oxygen supply to kill the fire. The Dustwand handles all kinds of dusts and powders, making it useful in many applications from safer long-term pest control (using boric acid or diatomaceous earth) to industrial applications, such as mold releases and non-destructive testing procedures. Please see it in action at http://www.dustwand.net About the Dustwand company: Beginning pest control operations in Florida in 1981, the need for a better duster was soon realized, developed, and later patented. The Dustwand is in use throughout the country and canada, soon to be available world wide. ### For the original version on PRWeb visit: http://www.prweb.com/releases/prwebDustwand360/FireExtinguisher/prweb8343867.htm

| Employer Restrictions on Social Media Use May Be Subject to Lawsuits Posted: 03 May 2011 01:01 AM PDT Employer Restrictions on Social Media Use May Be Subject to Lawsuits San Francisco law firm analyzes a recent lawsuit over a company's restrictions of access to social media websites, and makes recommendations for employers to ensure that their policies do not make them subject to similar lawsuits. San Francisco, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) May 03, 2011 Many employers put broad restrictions on the use of social media by their employees with respect to posting commentary about the workplace. The assumption is that the employers have the right to do so because the factual scenario serving as the basis for the speech is taking place on their private property, and is therefore not subject to the same free speech requirements of a public setting. But in a recent court case, the settlement agreement reached included the employer's agreement that they could not "improperly restrict" employees from discussing their work on social networking websites, as doing so would constitute a violation of the National Labor Relations Act ("NLRA"). Ronnie Gipson, founding partner of San Francisco law firm Higa & Gipson, LLP, says employers should reexamine their restrictions on social networking; if their policies are overly strict, they may be risking a lawsuit. In the precedent-setting case [Case No. 34-CA-12576] in Hartford, Connecticut, the employer, an emergency medical services provider, demanded that one of its employees submit a written incident report in connection with an ongoing investigation that had the potential to lead to disciplinary action for the employee. The employee requested that a union representative assist her with the preparation and submission of the incident report. The employer denied that request. The employee submitted the report and received disciplinary action as a result. The employee subsequently made entries on her Facebook account about the working conditions to include the incident and the people involved. When the company became aware of the postings, the employee was terminated for violating the company’s Internet posting policy. "The pivotal issue is, 'Does the employer break the law by terminating an employee for submitting posts about the workplace to a social media website?' The short answer is 'Yes,'" Gipson, a San Francisco business attorney, explains on the Higa & Gipson, LLP blog. The Hartford regional National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB") office issued a complaint in the case of American Medical Response of Connecticut Inc. and International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Local 443, NLRB Case No. 34-CA-12576 on October 27, 2010 to challenge the employer's restrictions using a law that governs labor practices: The National Labor Relations Act (“NLRA”), which protects the rights of employees to communicate with each other in order to better the working conditions of their collective employment. (Although the case referenced above includes a union, there is no need for the worker(s) to be represented by a union for the worker to receive the protection of the NLRA.) From a legal standpoint, this case is very interesting because the policy issue being decided affects an employee’s free speech. However, the mechanism used to protect the free speech is not the 1st Amendment, but rather the NLRA, which governs fair labor practices. Some view this approach as an end-run around the public/private distinctions of the free speech analysis. The legal community, specifically the defense bar, is watching the case to see how far the NLRB goes in applying the NLRA. This precedent may not stand if a similar case is decided in court, but in the meantime Gipson advises that companies review their policies restricting employee postings on social media websites. The best course of action is to consult with an attorney to determine if current company policies make the company vulnerable to employer lawsuits for a NLRA violation. For additional information about Internet policy protection, or any of Higa and Gipson, LLP's legal services, call them at (415) 655-6820, e-mail them at gipson(at)higagipsonllp(dot)com or visit the firm's website at http://www.higagipsonllp.com.

| What Every Dentist Must Know to Thrive in the New Economy Posted: 03 May 2011 01:00 AM PDT What Every Dentist Must Know to Thrive in the New Economy A New Book Shows Dentists How To Do More Than Just Survive Louisville, KY (PRWEB) May 03, 2011 "So what if the economy is good or not – What are you going to do about it?" That's the question which leads Colin Receveur to answer in his new book, Web 3.0: What Every Dentist Must Know to Thrive in the New Economy. The founder and CEO at SmartBox Web Marketing asks dentists to face the reality that whether the economy is riding the crest of wealth and health or stuck on the bottom only begs the question, "What are you going to do going forward?" Receveur's experience in marketing dental practices across the US has shown that no matter the economy, we cannot take-it-as-it-comes. Not every dental practice is going through a rough time, many are absolutely full of new patients. What's the difference? "Many dentists, like many large corporations, view marketing as a discretionary expense that can be cut. The fact is that these times are the perfect time to leverage your advertising budget because your competition will typically be following the crowd. If dentists take advantage of decreased competition in the marketing arena they can position themselves dominantly and capture new patients [that would otherwise be given more options]." The trick is to know what works, what provides the biggest return on investment for those dental advertising dollars, and how to communicate a dentist's expertise. That is what Colin Receveur's new book Web 3.0: What Every Dentist Must Know to Thrive in the New Economy shows dentists. Besides giving proof that there are patients seeking dentists every day in every neighborhood and town, Receveur's book shows dentists how to smartly use websites, search engine optimization, social media, mobile marketing, and pay per click advertising to reign in those "searchers" and give them a reason to call your practice. "The fact is I've worked with dentists in every region of the country and the results are always the same; smart marketing brings in new patients in any economy. The elements I use in the book are the same elements we use with our own clients to generate a steady stream of new patients. You just have to cut through the clutter, know what to use going forward, and not pull back. You will get new patients." Web 3.0: What Every Dentist Must Know to Thrive in the New Economy builds a rock-solid case that things do not have to be as hard as they seem, especially when trying to capture those elective case patients. Receveur's new book takes the mystery out of attracting new patients, and can be found on his firms website at http://link.smartboxweb.com/books. The practical techniques he explains are born out of the mindset that marketing should be an investment in the bottom line, not an expenditure to be cut. "The right mindset with the right tools makes all the difference in the world." ### For the original version on PRWeb visit: http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb2011/5/prweb8335765.htm

| New iPhone App Gives GPS a Whole New Meaning Posted: 03 May 2011 12:59 AM PDT New iPhone App Gives GPS a Whole New Meaning With the new application "GPS Bookmarker," iPhone's GPS capability takes on a completely new meaning. Users can now save a location, add a title, a note, a picture and even a voice memo to the bookmark. Later users can review the information, and GPS Bookmarker can navigate them to the location while providing Turn-by-Turn directions. New York, NY (PRWEB) May 03, 2011 Discovering a new location is one thing, finding the way back to "Remember that place? Near the red house, on that really narrow street, with the missing street sign" is something else entirely. To help avoid that situation, Typhoon Apps and PM Champion have announced the release of their new application called “GPS Bookmarker”, made specifically for iPhone users. This application is not a typical GPS location device. It allows users to save and personalize their favorite locations by adding details such as a name, a phone number, a photo or even a voice memo about the location.
Once users save a location on their iPhone, they can review the bookmark, check the address, or even ask GPS Bookmarker to navigate to that location using Turn-by-Turn directions. It's that simple! With GPS Bookmarker iPhone users should now be able to find their way around.

| Evangelical Outreach Announces May Book Special and Savings on Is this the Mary of the Bible? Posted: 03 May 2011 12:50 AM PDT Evangelical Outreach Announces May Book Special and Savings on Is this the Mary of the Bible? Evangelical Outreach is offering discounts of up to 50 percent during its May Book Special on the revealing title Is this the Mary of the Bible? Washington, PA (PRWEB) May 03, 2011 Evangelical Outreach, a Christian ministry founded by holiness preacher Dan Corner, announced its May Book Special, offering up to 50 percent savings on the groundbreaking 296-page title Is this the Mary of the Bible? The easy-to-read and scripture-indexed book compares present-day teachings of Catholicism on Mary with the Mary of the Bible. It is now available to purchase for the entire month of May for only $7.25 plus $5.25 priority shipping. In this unique Christian evangelism effort, Corner sets to prove the vast difference between the Mary of Roman Catholicism and the Mary of the Bible. "This is not an attack on the Mary of the Bible," said Evangelist Dan Corner. "Instead you are being shown that the Mary of the Bible is not the Mary of Catholicism. They are two totally different people, though each shares some common characteristics." According to Corner, who often preaches against the "once saved always saved" doctrine, the book is an important evangelistic tool that will provide an excellent way to reach sincere Catholic friends with the truth about salvation. Along with the May Book Special and its 50 percent discount on Is this the Mary of the Bible? Evangelical Outreach also announced that customers who want to purchase the book after May 2011 can still save $4.00 off the $14.50 price.
