| Author Uses Suspense Novel to Fight Human Trafficking Posted: 08 May 2011 03:42 AM PDT Author Uses Suspense Novel to Fight Human Trafficking Kimberly Rae, a 100+ times published author is using her new book, STOLEN WOMAN, to fight human trafficking around the world. (PRWEB) May 08, 2011 (PRWEB) May 8, 2011 — STOLEN WOMAN, Kimberly Rae’s breakout Christian suspense novel, is one of the first Christian fiction novels focused on human trafficking to hit the market. "I looked and looked but could not find one book about trafficking overseas that ended with not just getting rescued from something bad, but to something good," says author Kimberly Rae. "What I wanted most was to read a story that ended with true freedom and lasting hope. And as someone once said, if you can’t find the book you want to read, you must write it. So I did." After living overseas for many years, the author uses her experiences in Asia to backdrop the story of Stolen Woman, set in Kolkata, India. Stolen Woman's main character, Asha, leaves her home in North Carolina for a summer working with orphans in India. There she meets a 16-year-old trafficked girl who has been stolen from her home and forced into sexual slavery. Asha desperately wants to rescue this girl, but Mark, a 3rd-generation missionary and her boss for the summer, forbids her return to the dangerous area. Certain she is doing the right thing, Asha begins sneaking off the missionary compound to meet with her new friend and plan her escape. When the traffickers get suspicious and Asha's young friend runs away, Asha sneaks out during the night to help, ignoring the fact that she, too, might become one of the stolen. More than just an exciting story, Rae is using Stolen Woman as a way to connect caring readers with human trafficking ministries so they can help make a difference. A 2-page spread at the end of Rae's book highlights Women At Risk International (http://www.warinternational.org), a non-profit ministry that has been rescuing women and children in foreign countries as well as in the U.S. since its inception in 2006. Many more trafficking rescue outreaches are linked on the book's website, http://www.stolenwoman.org. “I didn’t want a story that was merely entertaining,” says Rae. “I want what I write to have a purpose. When my mom asked me what I would write about if I could write about anything, I knew exactly what the answer would be. That day I started working on Stolen Woman.” Rae’s novel, book 1in a series of 3, is due for release June 1st, 2011, at http://www.amazon.com, or readers can order an autographed copy through her website, http://www.stolenwoman.org. E-books will also be available for Kindle and Nook readers. Rae is scheduled for several book signings over the summer (see website for details). The author can be contacted through her Facebook page under "Human Trafficking Stolen Woman." “People out there care about human trafficking and want to make a difference,” Rae concludes. “I pray my book will help them do that.” Contact Information: # # # For the original version on PRWeb visit: http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb2011/5/prweb5278074.htm

| SargesList Expands Areas to Include Easier Buying / Selling for Deployed Troops Posted: 08 May 2011 01:15 AM PDT SargesList Expands Areas to Include Easier Buying / Selling for Deployed Troops SargesList is committed to increasing the quality of life for military and their families Stateside or duty stations abroad. This has now been extended to our deployed troops stationed in Afghanistan, Kuwait and Iraq where Active Duty personnel and DoD Civilians can buy, sell and trade creature comforts to help make life a tad easier and much safer. Grass Valley, CA (PRWEB) May 08, 2011 On average, Service members and their families are PCSing every 2 to 3 years and there are many resources available to them to make this life changing process easier for them. However, the U.S. has had hundreds of thousands of troops in OIF and OEF for a decade and even with the victory of Osama Bin Laden's death, the flux of deployed troops in and out of the Middle East isn't letting up yet. While many deployed troops may not want to get "too comfortable" in the combat zone, little things can make the stay there more bearable while away from loved ones, whether it is a bike to travel around the perimeter of camp or a gaming system. Not too long ago, SargesList received an email from a deployed soldier jokingly saying "Hey, what about us? Don't we matter?" He explained the need for creature comforts and the lack of ability to know "if someone on the other side of the camp is selling something unless through word of mouth or bulletin boards." Therefore, SargesList is excited to announce their expansion of bases to include Forward Operating Bases in Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iraq. This was done with the vision of helping deployed troops buy and sell items more safely and easily. The site's original purpose was to assist the military during PCS or every day life, which obviously needed to include our deployed soldiers. "Because of the large number of troops that rotate in and out there are a lot of dealing for home comforts here like refrigerators and microwaves and other items that you can't bring back to the States. Also with the Civilian Contractors, it would be safer for them to buy / sell things on SargesList vs. going out on the economy to get or sell a car upon departure, etc." SFC, Kuwait SargesList hopes U.S. troops will see the value in their site’s unique DOT MIL functionality and take advantage of their global site to post items they need to sell, buy what they need at a good price, find local base information, connect with others in their private forums and lastly, share with their fellow soldiers (including Air Force, Navy and Marines) in a more safe, easy and free environment. The more who use the site the more valuable it becomes for everyone who use it. http://www.sargeslist.com # # # For the original version on PRWeb visit: http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb2011/5/prweb8393956.htm

Each year, thousands of attendees flock to Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., to witness the world's best golfers chase the PGA's richest payout and win one of PGA's major tournaments. Although there are only a handful of tournaments that are considered "Majors," PGA Tour members call this event "their" championship. This year's weeklong event will be held at The Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach. The festivities will begin Monday, May 9, with the first practice round. That night, attendees will be encouraged to return to World Golf Village for the World Golf Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. The practice rounds will continue May 10-11, with Wednesday, May 11, also being Military Appreciation Day. Country star Darius Rucker will perform as part of the event. The actual tournament will begin Thursday, May 12, and conclude on Sunday, May 15. Recent past winners include Tim Clark in 2010, Henrick Stension in '09, Sergio Garcia in '08 and Phil Mickelson in '07.

| Advanced Oral Cancer Screening by Dr. Besharati in Issaquah Highlands Posted: 08 May 2011 01:14 AM PDT Advanced Oral Cancer Screening by Dr. Besharati in Issaquah Highlands With a mortality rate over 50% at 5 years, one person every hour of every day dies of oral cancer in the U.S. However, if detected early the survival rate is nearly 90%. Highlands Dentistry, in Issaquah Highlands, is incorporating the cutting-edge VELscope® Oral Cancer Screening System into its dental practice. In addition to maintaining and creating beautiful smiles with advanced family dentistry in Issaquah, the Issaquah dentist says improving his ability to monitor the recent growth in incidence of oral cancer is just one way he strives to support the oral health of his patients. Issaquah Highlands, WA (PRWEB) May 08, 2011 Dr. Besharati now offers oral cancer screenings using the VELscope® with cleaning, and thus is helping to prevent this dangerous and potentially deadly disease. Approximately 35,000 new cases of oral cancer are diagnosed each year, and of those patients more than 50 percent will die within five years. In addition, oral cancer is more prevalent than cervical cancer and melanoma, which should put it in the forefront of people’s minds. Dr. Besharati emphasizes that, “Up until now, the only reliable, affordable oral cancer screening has been visual examination during hygiene appointments, yet new technology has changed this.” The VELscope® is a revolutionary device that allows Dr. Besharati and his team to detect tissue changes in the oral cavity before they become apparent to the naked eye. Produced by LED Medical Diagnostics Inc. (LED-MD), the VELscope® uses tissue fluorescence that can be directly viewed by Dr. Besharati. This fluorescence varies by tissue condition, and thus allows for visualization of unhealthy tissue; it allows the doctor to actually see precancerous lesions and early stage oral cancers. As with any cancer, early detection is essential in long-term prognosis and treatment. The VELscope® is the only device cleared by the FDA and Health Canada to help detect oral mucosal lesions that might not be apparent or visible to the naked eye. Abnormal tissue typically appears as an irregular, dark green or black area that stands out against the otherwise normal, green fluorescence of healthy oral tissue. Dr. Ray Besharati, DDS, DMD, is a Family and Cosmetic Dentist in Issaquah Highlands who is taking innovative action to help prevent oral cancer in his patients. For over 15 years, Dr. Besharati has been improving his patient’s oral health, and now with advancements in modern technology, he is able to provide early detection of oral cancer, one of the most dangerous oral diseases. Step into our office to inquire about VELscope® preventative oral cancer detection screenings and many other state-of-the-art dental services that we offer, including porcelain veneers, dental implants, laser whitening, Invisalign, Laser Dentistry and more. # # # For the original version on PRWeb visit: http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb2011/5/prweb8393271.htm

| RockSolid Floors® Professional Launch With Hirshfield’s® Posted: 08 May 2011 01:14 AM PDT RockSolid Floors® Professional Launch With Hirshfield's® RockSolid Floors® (http://www.RockSolidFloors.com) brings its RockSolid Professional line of polyurea floor coatings to Hirshfield's, providing more opportunities for contractors. Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) May 08, 2011 RockSolid Floors® and Hirshfield's have come together to open new opportunities for both companies and their contractors. Hirshfield's now carries the RockSolid Floors® Professional series of floor coatings, including their latest development in coating technology—RockSolid’s Single Component Polyurea. This partnership allows contractors to provide their clients with one of the industry's strongest floor coatings through one of the leading retailers in decorating products. Both companies are based in Minnesota, allowing for easy coordination between the two. Because Hirshfield's already has over 100 years of decorating experience in both other forms of flooring and in paint coatings, RockSolid's products allow them to combine two areas they already excel in to open a new market for themselves, creating a perfect fit between the two companies. "We couldn't be a better fit for each other," says Patrick Ilfrey, CEO of RockSolid. "Hirshfield's painting experience especially compliments our Medici® system, though all of our products are great for any Hirshfield's customer. We're especially excited for their help in spreading awareness of our Single Component Polyurea products." Included in these products are RockSolid Floors® Single Component Polyurea Solutions, a series of polyurea floor coatings with virtually unlimited pot-life. This allows installers as much time as they wish to finish their projects with no waste. This also minimizes required inventory space and labor, making Single Component Polyurea significantly more profitable for installers. Single Component Polyurea's unique composition retains polyurea's usual 4 to 8 hour walk on and 24 hour return to service when applied, despite its unlimited pot-life. It also keeps polyurea's elongation and flexibility, is still 20 times stronger than epoxy, remains a "green" product, and comes in convenient one gallon buckets. This is the core of RockSolid's Medici® system, which adds their color shots to the coating and applies it with a special two-headed roller to provide the elegance and beauty any contractor would expect from a product sold by Hirshfield's. For more information about RockSolid Floors Professional® or the company, please visit http://www.RockSolidFloors.com or contact Adam Moore at 1-866-765-4310. ### For the original version on PRWeb visit: http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb2011/5/prweb8392154.htm

| “PeugeotCompare” – Choosing The Next Company Car or Light Commercials Has Never Been Easier Posted: 08 May 2011 01:13 AM PDT "PeugeotCompare" – Choosing The Next Company Car or Light Commercials Has Never Been Easier With business customers primarily in mind, Peugeot has launched a new dedicated website that allows fleet customers and company car drivers to compare key facts and figures to see which Peugeot or competitor is best in key sectors. (PRWEB UK) 8 May 2011 With business customers primarily in mind, Peugeot has launched a new dedicated website that allows fleet customers and company car drivers to compare key facts and figures to see which Peugeot or competitor is best in key sectors. This new website is less prescriptive than some others as it allows users to prioritise the key elements that affect their choice, including the P11D cost of the vehicle, Company Car Tax, CO2 and MPG. By simply visiting http://www.peugeotcompare.co.uk individuals can select a car or van option and will then find a simple-to-navigate site, with sliding adjustable scales at the top, determining the levels of importance of the four key criteria. As the sliders are moved, so the model choice increases or decreases as to how many of them qualify. At any point it is then possible to see displayed the applicable Peugeot line up and then introduce the competitors within the same criteria. It is also possible to compare with models outside the criteria, if felt necessary. Phil Robson, Director, Fleet Sales, Peugeot UK, said: "At a time when we and our competitors offer our customers such a wide choice of models, I think it is important they get to evaluate the merits of our products in a way that suits them, and the 'PeugeotCompare' website brings an ease of use solution to an otherwise complicated dilemma. It also shows the strengths of all our products in a more levelled, comparable environment, and I encourage everyone to give it a try."

| BoatsPlus Expands To Include Used Boats In Boat Sales Classifieds Posted: 08 May 2011 01:13 AM PDT BoatsPlus Expands To Include Used Boats In Boat Sales Classifieds BoatsPlus is challenging the online boating classifieds sector by expanding its hugely successful website to include a marine classifieds section, BoatsPlus Classifieds. Melbourne, Victoria (PRWEB) May 08, 2011 Highly regarded Australian online marine trading site, BoatsPlus, has traditionally focused on showcasing new boats and motors. However, in a bid to offer an affordable alternative to those wishing to buy and sell used boats, it has now launched BoatsPlus Classifieds. A Challenge To Existing Boat Sales Sites BoatsPlus Owner, Luke Moulton, decided to challenge existing online used boat sales sites because, he believes, they are over-priced and do not offer consumers the best bang for their buck. "The online boating classifieds competition is quite fierce – there are some big players providing ads for both dealers and domestic customers." he explained. "We believe that by leveraging our current infrastructure we are able to offer an affordable alternative." That the BoatsPlus.com.au website already receives over 45,000 visitors per month, speaks volumes for the high regard in which it is held in the Australian boating community. With the addition of the new classifieds section for boat sales, along with outboard motors, yachts and other marine accessories, the site will, Moulton believes, "maximise our existing visitor's experience". The Australian Marine Love Affair Australia has always had a water-loving population, having a great affinity with water sports, including sailing, cruising, jet-skiing, canoeing, kayaking and water skiing. It should therefore come as no surprise to learn that boat-ownership is one of the goals of its coastal population. In what many agree to be challenging economic times, the trend has been for Australian's to holiday at home, often with water sports playing a key role. As a result, the BoatsPlus team is committed to placing a high degree of importance on delivering the best possible value to its customers through its new classifieds service. Used boat classifieds will be an important addition to the BoatsPlus online portal, which currently features: Boats For Sale Time-Sensitive Free Listing Offer A very limited introductory offer for a free classified listing is available now at Free Used Boat Listing. # # # For the original version on PRWeb visit: http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb2011/5/prweb8391443.htm

| Posted: 08 May 2011 01:12 AM PDT University Research Co., LLC Awards $1.2 Million for Research on Disrespectful and Abusive Care during Of Women Childbirth through USAID-Funded Traction Project Concurrent with Mother's Day, University Research Co., LLC (URC) awarded two research organizations $1.2 million for research on disrespectful and abusive care of women during childbirth through the Translating Research into Action (TRAction) project, funded by the US Agency for International Development (USAID). The Population Council and the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University's Averting Maternal Death and Disability Program will each receive a two-year $600,000 award to conduct separate research studies of disrespect and abuse of women during childbirth at clinic-based facilities. TRAction and the research awardees will also work with the White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood (WRA) on promoting respectful care. Bethesda, MD (PRWEB) May 08, 2011 Mother's Day offers an opportunity to celebrate our mothers, who perform the unique role of bringing new life into the world. Unfortunately, in developed and developing countries alike, some women experience disrespectful and abusive care during childbirth, a time of intense vulnerability. University Research Co., LLC (URC) has awarded two research organizations $1.2 million for research on disrespectful and abusive care during childbirth through the Translating Research into Action (TRAction) project, funded by the US Agency for International Development (USAID). Through the Translating Research into Action (TRAction) project led by University Research Co., LLC, USAID awarded the Population Council and the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health's Averting Maternal Death and Disability (AMDD) Program each two-year $600,000 grants to conduct separate research studies of disrespect and abuse of women during childbirth at health facilities. "Investing in women—including providing quality and dignified pregnancy-related care—is essential to the prosperity and opportunity of all people," said USAID Administrator Dr. Rajiv Shah. Examples of disrespect and abuse include: humiliation, care that does not respect women’s privacy and dignity, procedures performed without consent, discrimination based on certain attributes, abandonment or denial of care, and physical and verbal abuse during childbirth. In countries with high maternal and infant mortality, disrespectful and abusive care can discourage women from delivering their infants in facilities with skilled birth attendants. This research aims to better understand and document the extent of the problem and ways to reduce the abuse. Disrespectful and abusive care is both a human rights issue and an important quality of health care problem. Ultimately, the initiative aims to increase use of skilled care to ensure safe deliveries and to reduce maternal mortality, a United Nations Millennium Development Goal. The Population Council will conduct research in two districts in Kenya and AMDD will carry out research in two districts in the Tanga Region of Tanzania. Both organizations will collaborate closely with local communities and health systems stakeholders. The U.S. Government's Global Health Initiative seeks to remove barriers that prevent women from accessing lifesaving health services such as assisted delivery with skilled birth attendants. When women are able to access needed quality health services and protect themselves from the many health risks they face, long-term social and economic progress can be achieved. Exploring Evidence and Action for Respectful Care at Birth, written by URC's Dr. Kathleen Hill and Diana Bowser of the Harvard School of Public Health, presents evidence on disrespect and abuse of women during facility-based childbirth, contributors to the problem, and approaches to tackle this issue. An interview in the report quotes a woman who said: "I think most of our women don't know they have the right to respectful treatment….They accept what they get." TRAction and its awardees will also collaborate with the White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood (WRA). The WRA is also receiving support from USAID to develop strategies and campaigns targeting this issue and will form a global Leadership Action Committee to Promote Respectful Care at Birth.

| CaféFit Launches New Weight Loss Product-Adding to Their Healthy Fortified Coffee Blends Posted: 08 May 2011 01:12 AM PDT CaféFit Launches New Weight Loss Product-Adding to Their Healthy Fortified Coffee Blends Caféfit, a company that sells supplement fortified coffee products, launched a new brand named, CaféFit Dieting Blend. The new coffee blend is formulated to burn fat, boost metabolism, curb appetite, and provide essential vitamins and nutrients all in a cup of coffee. The weight loss coffee is made with superior 100% Arabica coffee beans harvested in select regions of Latin America. Cafefit Dieting blend has been clinical proven to provide amazing weight loss results. (PRWEB) May 08, 2011 Caféfit, a company that sells supplement fortified coffee products, launched a new brand named, CaféFit Dieting Blend. The new coffee blend is formulated to burn fat, boost metabolism, curb appetite, and provide essential vitamins and nutrients all in a cup of coffee. The weight loss coffee is made with superior 100% Arabica coffee beans harvested in select regions of Latin America. Cafefit Dieting blend has been clinical proven to provide amazing weight loss results. Caféfit anticipates that the Dieting Blend will be the most popular of all their supplement blended coffees. The Dieting Blend contains vitamins and natural supplements that burn fat, suppress appetite and boost metabolism. The effective appetite suppressant in this fortified coffee is Garcinia Cambogia extract, derived from the rind of a small citrus fruit that is grown in Southeast Asia. The coffee itself is harvested, ground and roasted with delicious taste in mind. This adds to the slimming qualities of the coffee, since good tasting coffee doesn't require adding fattening sugar and cream. Coffee itself has proven weight loss qualities, according to the CaféFit website, "….its caffeine triggers a natural process in the body called thermogenesis which burns fat by increasing the body’s temperature (the same process that occurs during a workout). When this process is enhanced with natural weight loss supplements like appetite suppressants and fat burners, the result is effective weight loss". The other blends of supplement fortified coffees produced by CaféFit have additional health benefits and promote a healthier lifestyle. The Pure Energy Blend uses a combination of extra caffeine and energy boosting vitamins and supplements for a sustained infusion of energy. The Immune Builder Blend is packed with immune boosting vitamins and the incredibly popular supplement Echinacea. The Focus Plus Blend is fortified with Vitamins B12 and Alpha GPC, which promotes brain function and power. The Organic Mushroom Blend utilizes the medicinal power of mushrooms for overall health and has a smooth mushroom taste. CaféFit commented on their product launch stating, "We're excited to be able to provide our customers an effective way to lose weight while enjoying coffee. We take pride in being able to provide consumers with coffee that contains healthy vitamins and supplements, whereas your average cup of coffee doesn't. Of course, we highly recommend a healthy diet and frequent exercise to optimize the positive health effects of our products". CaféFit also offers a Home Delivery Program to provide their customers with the added benefit of receiving coffee monthly and conveniently to their door. They also plan on building a healthy following by offering memberships to their "Café Club" which includes huge savings, exclusive offers, and important information on how to live healthy by enjoying CaféFit coffee. ### For the original version on PRWeb visit: http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb2011/5/prweb8396302.htm

| Local Arlington Lions Club Brings the Gift of Literacy to Blind Youth Posted: 08 May 2011 12:58 AM PDT Local Arlington Lions Club Brings the Gift of Literacy to Blind Youth The Arlington Host Lions Club donated one thousand dollars to support the BELL initiative that will help students learn new skills to do well in school and to eventually be employed. (PRWEB) May 08, 2011 Local Arlington Lions Club Brings the Gift of Literacy to Blind Youth The 2011 Braille Enrichment for Literacy and Learning (BELL) program scheduled for July will be able to host more students this year thanks to a generous donation to the National Federation of the Blind of Virginia (NFBV) from the Arlington Host Lions. The Arlington Host Lions Club donated one thousand dollars to support the BELL initiative that will help students learn new skills to do well in school and to eventually be employed. The BELL program teaches blind and low vision children below the age of fourteen how to use Braille effectively for reading and writing. "The goal of the BELL program is to introduce children who cannot read regular print to how useful Braille can be in hopes that they continue using it throughout their lives." said Dr. Fredrick K. Schroeder, President, of the NFBV and Arlington Host Lions member. "When they become adults, the one factor that enables them to be employable is their Braille skills. Odds are, if you don't know Braille, you don't have a job.", said Sandy Halverson, the Coordinator of the BELL program, who was present to accept the donation at the May 3, 2011 meeting of the club. This is the second summer where the NFBV will be organizing a BELL program in our area. In a pilot program in August of 2010 held in Arlington, VA, seven blind and low vision students participated in a two-week program of exploration of how many uses there are for Braille in school and at home. Theresa Willis from Virginia Beach, a blind parent of a blind student who attended the 2010 pilot program, said, “I have Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) and have never read a book in my life. I would try to read a chapter but would give up because it was too hard with eyestrain and headaches. I don’t want that for my child and this program has given her what our school district could not. My daughter also has RP and if she learns Braille, she will not have to come home from school crying because her eyes are tired and she has headaches. I want her to be able to read the books that I have never been able to.” Braille is a system of raised dots that blind people can use to read and write. It was invented by Louis Braille nearly 200 years ago and is one of the most effective methods for bringing literacy to those who cannot read print. The Arlington Host Lions Club was established in 1935 and serves Arlington by creating and fostering a spirit of understanding among all people for humanitarian needs by providing voluntary services through community involvement and international cooperation. The club is also a member of Lions Club International which has over 1.35 million members in over 206 countries and geographic regions. The National Federation of the Blind of Virginia consists of fifteen chapters throughout the state and serves its members and all visually impaired citizens by promoting fellowship as well as supporting programs that increase the educational and economic opportunities of the blind. ### For the original version on PRWeb visit: http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb2011/5/prweb8392460.htm

The President of FTC, Shirl Lakeway Jr, states: "For an all-in-one, routine, food texture measurement system, the TMS-Touch offers the ideal solution without the complexity of a fully featured, research instrument. It is a flexible, easy-to-read program which is simple to use and very affordable." The full range of test cells, probes and fixtures offered by FTC are available for use with this system.

Writer/Director David de Leon (The Cage, Single Black Female) wrote the original screenplay and is attached to direct. Hollywood, CA (PRWEB) May 08, 2011 Exclusive: Michael Biehn (The Terminator, Tombstone, Aliens, The Rock), Mexican actor/comedian Adal Ramones (Mujeres Asesinas, Otro Rollo, Bailando Por Un Sueno) and Walter Perez (Fame, Emilio, A Beautiful Life) signed on to "The Road Project." Writer/Director David de Leon (The Cage, Single Black Female) wrote the original screenplay and is attached to direct. Principal photography begins summer of 2011 in Los Angeles and Calexico, with second unit filming in Mexico City. Scott Rosenfelt (Home Alone, Mystic Pizza, Teen Wolf) is producing. Rosenfelt's indie banner, (8th Street Films), Millennium Crop Entertainment, and TF2 Ventures are co-producing. Cesar Ramirez and Noel Tristan are Executive Producing. Described as "Motorcycle Diaries meets Blow", the comedic drama is based on the true story of "a sort of Latino Robin Hood". Using the current political landscape in Mexico as a backdrop, "The Road Project" (working title) infuses a new Latino aesthetic with classic, crime-drama elements. "The Road Project" will mark the feature film debut for writer/director David de Leon who told Maxim: "We grew up loving films like Goodfellas, Scarface, Casino and Donnie Brasco, but then became enamored of films like El Norte, Amores Perros, Mi Familia and Motorcycle Diaries, which we connected to on a deeper level, as U.S. Latinos. The idea for this project was to merge elements from these genres and create a new kind of Latino consciousness within the framework of world cinema. We came across a story that seemed too implausible to be true…that's when I knew I had to make it." Pepe Serna (Scarface, American Me, The Virgin of Juarez), declared in a phone interview with Maxim: "It's a beautiful story, I signed on right away…we've been waiting for the 'Latino Tarantino'…I think David is the guy!"

| Penny Auction List Launches to Help Consumers Find Safe Penny Auctions Posted: 08 May 2011 12:58 AM PDT Penny Auction List Launches to Help Consumers Find Safe Penny Auctions PennyAuctionList.com, a carefully-filtered penny auction directory, re-launched on Friday, May 7, 2011, with the goal of helping consumers find penny auctions they can trust. Silicon Valley, CA (PRWEB) May 08, 2011 Penny auctions are taking the internet by storm, and the Penny Auction List helps consumers understand the penny auction business model before purchasing bids or participating on a fraudulent website. Key website features include a carefully-filtered penny auction directory, tips, strategies and exclusive bidder interviews. Josh Waldron, a penny auction bidder himself, launched the original site in late 2009 and will continue to maintain the site through 2011. Penny auctions are different from traditional auctions. Users have to purchase bids in order to participate. Purchased bids are often non-refundable and can cost anywhere from .50 to $1, depending on the penny auction site. Commonly auctioned items include high-end electronics, household goods and gift cards. As the name implies, each penny auction starts at 1 cent. As time ticks down, users bid on the auction and the price increases in 1 cent increments. Each additional bid adds more time to the clock. More importantly, every bid being place in the auction costs money. The last person to place a bid on the auction when time expires is the winner. The winner is responsible to pay the final auction price and any applicable shipping charges. Winners often save 75%-90% off retail. This new business model has contributed to the rise of some less than ethical penny auctions. PennyAuctionList.com is unique compared to other penny auction directories because it only promotes sites that have a proven commitment to customer service. “I wanted to build a safe directory of penny auctions to protect bidders from fraudulent sites,” said Waldron. “The Penny Auction List allows bidders to post unfiltered reviews for penny auctions and regulate this new industry through their feedback.” In addition to an industry-leading directory of penny auctions, the website also provides a database of tips and strategy for penny auction success. ### For the original version on PRWeb visit: http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb2011/5/prweb8396453.htm

| Dr. Monteic A. Sizer Hired as New Louisiana BAEO State Director Posted: 08 May 2011 12:57 AM PDT Dr. Monteic A. Sizer Hired as New Louisiana BAEO State Director The Black Alliance of Educational Options (BAEO) announced the appointment of Dr. Monteic A. Sizer as the new Louisiana BAEO (LA BAEO) State Director. Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) May 08, 2011 The Black Alliance of Educational Options (BAEO) announced the appointment of Dr. Monteic A. Sizer as the new Louisiana BAEO (LA BAEO) State Director. Sizer brings to BAEO years of experience as a clinical-community psychologist, consultant, academic researcher, and non-profit CEO. Sizer is founder and President/CEO of the Judah Lion Group and Strategy International, L.L.C., a full service political consulting, organizational capacity, coalition building, public policy and strategy development firm. Sizer's passion for education reform has led to various prestigious work and board appointments. For example, Sizer's work at the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, a statewide foundation in North Carolina with nearly half a billion in assets, included making innovative funding recommendations in the areas of social justice and equity, community development, education, the environment, and governance and public policy. More specifically, Sizer led the Foundation's education grant making portfolio, education system realignment strategies, and statewide teacher professional development initiatives. As BAEO's Louisiana State Director, Sizer will be responsible for overseeing operations and setting organizational priorities that will serve to enact, protect, and expand parental choice policies and programs for low-income and working class families in the state of Louisiana. He will report to the BAEO National Advocacy Director, Shreé Medlock. "Dr. Sizer brings to BAEO and the Louisiana team a wealth of advocacy experience and expertise on all levels," said Medlock. "He has a commitment to making sure that low-income children are able to have access to high quality educational options, not just in Louisiana, but in every state." In his new role, Sizer will provide the local state team with leadership and direction and coordinate the day-to-day activities of the Louisiana BAEO staff.

| May 8th is “No Socks Day,” But Those With Ugly Feet Have No Reason to Celebrate Posted: 08 May 2011 12:57 AM PDT May 8th is "No Socks Day," But Those With Ugly Feet Have No Reason to Celebrate Celebrated annually on May 8, "No Socks Day" encourages everyone to wiggle their toes in freedom. Ways to celebrate this rather bizarre but lighthearted holiday range from decorating bare feet with jewelry to recycling socks that are mismatched or worn. Princeton, NJ (PRWEB) May 08, 2011 Celebrated annually on May 8, "No Socks Day" encourages everyone to wiggle their toes in freedom. Ways to celebrate this rather bizarre but lighthearted holiday range from decorating bare feet with jewelry to recycling socks that are mismatched or worn. While it's all in good fun, foot care expert, Carol J. Buck, CEO of Xenna Corporation (http://www.xenna.com) says, "I enjoy off-the-wall holidays like 'No Socks Day' because we all need to be reminded to 'lighten up' at times. And, I love walking in bare feet. However, in our business, we often hear from people who are so embarrassed about how their feet look that they'd never be able to enjoy taking their socks off in public – or private." "Ugly, dry feet or discolored toenails cause many people to hide the problem by always keeping their feet concealed with shoes or socks," says Buck. "I've talked to podiatrists with patients who even sleep with their socks on because they're too embarrassed for their spouse to see their bare feet. Xenna foot care products can help these individuals by giving them attractive feet and toenails that don't have to be hidden anymore." Based on natural formulations focused on the exfoliation of dry skin on heels and keratin debris buildup that makes toenails look yellow or brown. Xenna's diabetic-friendly foot care products are distributed nationwide through chain retailers that include Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid and others. Used by many podiatrists Xenna's CalleX® Exfoliating Dry Heel Ointment (http://www.callexointment.com) contains patented natural exfoliating enzymes, rather than acids, to smooth away dry, rough and scaly skin on heels and soles. CalleX Ointment hydrates the skin with a moisture-barrier base – and no scraping is needed for a soft, supple heel in about two weeks. Diabetic-friendly, CalleX Ointment's unique, natural enzyme formula breaks down and exfoliates only the dry, dead top layer of flakes or scales that contribute to the look and feel of rough-to-the-touch, unsightly feet. It also has a refreshing peppermint scent (from natural peppermint oil) that keeps unwanted foot odor at bay. For embarrassing yellow or discolored toenails, Xenna’s natural foot care line offers NonyX® Nail Gel (http://www.nonyx.com). All natural NonyX Nail Gel improves the appearance of unsightly toenails by breaking down keratin debris, the yellowish granular buildup under toenails that makes them discolored or dark. With continuous use toenails become clear and healthy-looking as keratin debris is softened, dissolved and scraped away using a manicure tool. Both NonyX Gel and CalleX Ointment are natural, patented and free of potentially irritating urea, salicylic acid, parabens, lanolin, preservatives, artificial fragrance and colorants. Buck says, "Those with embarrassing feet may want to celebrate 'No Socks Day' this year by making a commitment to a foot care regimen that tackles ugly toenails or dry heels."

| Couples who Lie about Money are Committing Financial Infidelity Posted: 08 May 2011 12:45 AM PDT Couples who Lie about Money are Committing Financial Infidelity Dr. Bonnie Eaker Weil, PhD, author of Financial Infidelity (Making Money Sexy), warns couples that gambling can turn into financial infidelity where couples "cheat' on one another by lying about spending. Many couples have ended up in financial ruin before a partner finds out. Dr. Bonnie urges couples to engage in Smart Heart Dialogue, and heed the warning signs of this bio-chemical craving for connection. "Gambling addiction is a self medicating, stress busting and thrill seeking high, just like all other addictions," warns Weil. New York, NY (PRWEB) May 08, 2011 As the Kentucky Derby, a national tradition, rolls around with all its rituals and regalia Dr. Bonnie Eaker Weil, PhD, author of Financial Infidelity (Making Money Sexy), reminds couples of the warning signs of gambling addictions. "The Kentucky Derby is a richly traditional event. However people, wherever they are, can get sucked into virtual betting online—another accessible outlet for people addicted to gambling," warns Dr. Bonnie who adds that she has had many clients who kept their gambling habit a secret until they had taken their family down a path of financial ruin. Dr. Bonnie calls cheating with money financial infidelity. Financial infidelity is another form of cheating, and can be so subtle one doesn't know they are doing it. Weil considers this addiction as well as others a "self medicating, stress busting, thrill seeking high—like a love drug." "Gambling, like all addictions is a bio-chemical craving for connection. When needs aren't being met, people turn to a quick fix—an activity that gives immediate, but temporary satisfaction or thrill. Unfortunately many of these quick fixes easily turn into compulsive behavior. Once the high wears off from the purchase or behavior, people repeat it until they are in a full- blown addiction. Illicit sex, shopping, and gambling are easier than ever to engage in as all are available at the click of the keyboard from a personal computer. "When a cycle of financial betrayals become entrenched, It is often just a matter of time before other areas of the relationship are damaged as trust is eroded, communication compromised, and emotional disconnection takes place," explains Dr. Bonnie. Dr. Bonnie Eaker Weil, PhD, relationship therapist, and winner of the NY Times Reader's Choice Award for best dating book 2010 for Make Up Don't Break Up reminds couples of the warning sings that their partner might be committing financial infidelity. "If your credit cards are maxed out, unexplained bank balance transfers or stock and bond selling occurs, there is a good chance a partner is engaged in unhealthy spending," says Dr. Bonnie. Dr. Bonnie recommends couples participate in Smart Heart Dialogue (a communication technique originated by Dr. Bonnie and found in her books) to begin the process of reconnecting and meeting each other's emotional needs so that the addictions, compulsions, or acting out will be replaced with fulfilling the need for emotionally intimate connection. For interview contact Diane Dennis, Inspired Media at 503-678-1356. Dr. Bonnie Eaker Weil (Dr. Bonnie) is a relationship expert who was named by Psychology Today as one of America's best therapists, and by New York Magazine as one of New York City's best therapists. Known as "The Adultery Buster" and the "No. 1 Love Expert," she is the best-selling author of Adultery: The Forgivable Sin (adapted into a Lifetime movie starring actress Kate Jackson), Make Up Don't Break Up, Finding and Keeping Love for Singles and Couples (Revised edition Feb 2010, including DVD How to Fall in Love and Stay in Love for Singles and Couples) and winner of the NY Times Reader's Choice award for best dating book 2010, Can We Cure and Forgive Adultery?, Staying Not Straying, How Not to (S)mother Your Man and Keep a Woman Happy, and Financial Infidelity (Making Money Sexy).

| Study Clarifies Promotional Value of Logo Golf Balls as Business Gifts Posted: 08 May 2011 12:45 AM PDT Study Clarifies Promotional Value of Logo Golf Balls as Business Gifts A recent study evaluating the promotional value of golf balls as gifts in the corporate world reveals interesting results. The study was commissioned on the part of http://www.golfbox.com. Brea, CA (PRWEB) May 08, 2011 The study conducted by Klein Consulting reveals that the promotional value of the packaging far outweighs a simple logo on the ball. When imprinted logo golf balls are combined with a package that promotes the customer paying for the promotion, much more return on investment becomes possible. "What we found is that a carefully crafted package design creates interest in the customer and when the design is created with a valuable reason to either save the package or call the gift giver, the promotional value becomes real. Conversely, when there is just a logo on a ball and it is packaged in packaging that only talks about the brand of ball, nearly all the promotion value goes to the golf ball manufacturer," says Jim Klein, the owner of Klein Consulting. The study was conducted over a 6 month time frame using purchasers of generic packaged logo golf balls and custom packaged logo golf balls. " I can't believe the difference" says Frank Pillarella, owner of Preferred Auto Body in Orange California. Preferred had purchased logo golf balls from a retail golf shop. "They just went out, no response or thank you or anything. Once we created our custom package, we were able to show off our capabilities and photos of our work. What we didn't realize is how our staff took pride in the package and this alone made a much more effective marketing tool." "It really makes sense when you think about it," says Greg Haxton of http://www.Golfbox.com. "Hiding the logo behind a package that does not promote the gift giver is kind of like putting a logo on the inside of a hat. Our customers have known this for years and confirm this to us everyday. That is why we offer custom packages in 9 different variations with a vast selection of different brands of golf balls. We are so committed to this concept we offer faster turnaround times than any other source and they don't even offer the packaging concepts we do." Founded in 1996, Golfbox.com is considered the industry leader in logo golf ball promotions. The company is the one of the oldest companies selling logo golf balls on the internet. A video presentation of their capabilities, the benefits of their products and more can be found Greg Haxton ### For the original version on PRWeb visit: http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb2011/5/prweb8394788.htm

| RedHorse CRM Workflow Leads Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Small Business Posted: 08 May 2011 12:45 AM PDT RedHorse CRM Workflow Leads Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Small Business RedHorse CRM v3.4 brings a wealth of automatic workflow functions to small businesses while at the same time eliminating the need to purchase and configure additional pieces of software, compared to MS-CRM. RedHorse CRM v3.4, covers all business modules: marketing, customer service, tickets, projects, contracts, and communications. RedHorse CRM delivers fast response with workflow operations, compared to sluggish response from other systems. La Quinta, CA (PRWEB) May 08, 2011 RedHorse Systems announces an upgraded CRM which greatly expands workflow coverage without the EXTRA hardware and software needed to operate MS Dynamics CRM. With today's introduction of RedHorse CRM v3.4, businesses can apply workflow to all business modules: marketing, customer service, tickets, projects, contracts, and communications. RedHorse CRM offers a wide range of automatic workflow functions. To perform the same functions, MS-CRM would require users to purchase and configure additional software, such as: SharePoint and Microsoft Exchange. Users who have compared the two were also impressed with the speed of response shown by RedHorse CRM. Customers no longer have to limit their database size or suffer the lag in system response. "RedHorse CRM v3.4 expands workflow to all business processes, allowing better responsiveness in every business area, not just marketing," said Connie Koch, founder. "Incoming emails can trigger the proper actions, even if all personnel are busy at the moment, even before emails are read. This gives our customers a tremendous advantage in these competitive times." While automatic analysis of incoming emails is one trigger for action, there are many other triggers available, such as interactive web forms, outbound communications, service requests, support escalations, warranty registration, and sales lead capture. Workflow uses an independent engine and manager to permit continued operation whether or not the RedHorse business system is active. It does so by running as a Windows background service.

"Beloved One" is a heart-felt tribute that is ideally suited for a wedding song New York, NY (PRWEB) May 08, 2011 Ryland Angel (http://www.RylandAngel.com) has been singing beautiful songs ever since he was a little boy in his church choir.

It is designed to support ideas and programs that advance the vital aspects of Jewish life to ensure the vibrant future of Pittsburgh's Jewish Community. (PRWEB) May 08, 2011 With more than $14 million in commitments to date, the Centennial Fund for a Jewish Future (CFJF) has exceeded its initial goal of raising $12 million in 12 months and already is funding initiatives that promote Jewish continuity in the Pittsburgh region, campaign leaders announced at its first event on May 5 to launch the Fund's Community Phase. The event featured nationally acclaimed author and speaker Rabbi Joseph Telushkin and honored CFJF Founders. A Transformational Initiative "The fact that 75% of Jews under the age of 30 are not affiliated with any synagogue or Jewish agency illustrates a declining sense of Jewish identity. CFJF provides immediate and ongoing funding for important activities and innovative programs to build knowledge of, and connection to our rich heritage and traditions. Initially we are focusing in the areas of Jewish education, Israel travel and Jewish summer camping," said David Shapira, co-chair of the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh's Jewish Community Foundation. "As we now move into CFJF's Community Phase, we believe many more individuals will demonstrate a commitment to transforming our community and securing a strong Jewish future for Pittsburgh." CFJF Funds at Work One Happy Camper incentive grants to encourage families to send their children to Jewish overnight summer camp, one of the leading transmitters of Jewish tradition and identity Birthright Israel, to underwrite the participation of Pittsburgh community college-aged students in educational peer-group trips to Israel, another key to building Jewish identity in youth Adult Education, to provide educational opportunities for the lifelong pursuit of Jewish literacy and intellectual growth J-Burgh, to underwrite Jewish programming and build a Jewish community for 20-something individuals at a time of transition in their lives, between completing college and starting their own families Providing synagogues with guidance and support to better meet the needs of the families that engage with them Enhancing teacher training to ensure that we have better and more inspired educators who have the tools to succeed Scholarships to make programs and schools more accessible to more people Jewish Day Schools Tuition, to facilitate enrollment for Jewish children in one of three local schools offering an outstanding Judaic and secular education "High quality programming and access to key Jewish experiences is the goal of CFJF," added Mr. Shapira. "CFJF funded initiatives instill a strong Jewish identity among participants and a desire to pass the love of Judaism on to the next generation, which benefits all Jewish agencies. It's critical that all Jews in our region understand the vital role of CFJF, to support it and benefit from the education and engagement it will provide."

| Sean Penn’s May-December Romance A Symbol Of Daddy Roles in Relationships Posted: 08 May 2011 12:44 AM PDT Sean Penn's May-December Romance A Symbol Of Daddy Roles in Relationships The May-December romance between 50-year-old Sean Penn and 26-year-old Scarlett Johansson serves as a symbol of what most relationships experience. "People play roles in relationships. These behaviors are childhood roles that served as coping mechanisms growing up, but don't serve adults well. The at-first endearing behaviors become annoying after awhile. When this happens, conflict soon follows," explains Imago Relationship therapist Rebecca Sears, who advises couples to seek an Imago Relationship workshop or therapist during this difficult relational transition. New York, NY (PRWEB) May 08, 2011 Rebecca Sears, Imago Relationship Therapist and trainer advises couples who eventually find the once endearing qualities of their partner downright annoying, or worse, totally reprehensible. "I used to think Maria was cute when she would 'baby talk.' Now I see her as childlike, and immature. I have to make all the decisions, and I feel like I have married a kid instead of an adult!" says Norman, a newlywed. "This is classic," explains Sears, who adds that couples will get to the place where they start to cringe at behaviors they once found attractive. "This stage of a relationship is a turning point for the individuals and their relationship, which is an opportunity for personal and relational growth if identified and worked on." While men may fantasize and drool over the May-December romance between Sean Penn, 50, and 26-year-old starlet Scarlett Johansson, this large age discrepancy offers a symbol of the roles many couples unconsciously play out in their marriages. People look at this couple, and can't deny that he could be her father. While these alliances may look sexy and forbidden in some eyes, May-December romances are a symbol of a behind-the-scenes picture of what many couples eventually suffer from. "What worked as a child becomes a default role adults carry on and bring into relationships. The problem is that what served a child as coping strategies, doesn't work long-term in adult relationships," Sears adds. To clarify Sears explains: "A child may have had received more attention when she acted "childlike" dependent, and passive. When the child grows up, this unconscious behavior becomes a coping mechanism, when the inevitable conflict or disappointment sets in. Behaviors that seem inappropriate to others are an outdated childhood survival technique. So, when a partner criticizes this once adored behavior, it is met with defensiveness and anger." The question of why people revert to childhood roles once they marry is answered by the Imago relationship philosophy. "The person we marry is a perfect match for us to begin the process of healing from childhood wounds (which comes from unmet needs) and experience personal growth. However, change is very painful, and instead of couples working together through the pain of change, they often blame, and in the case of 50 percent of marriages, divorce. Unfortunately, when couples divorce they miss the deeper meaning and amazing potential for growth in their relationship and personal lives." Imago offers support during these periods of confusion, distance, and pain through workshops, and individual counseling. "This weekend creates real hope for the future," said Randy, a workshop attendee from Texas. So, when we are faced with a tabloid video of Sean Penn and Scarlett Johansson in a wild make out session, let it serve—not as fodder for jealousy—but as a reminder that our own relationships can probably use a little growing up. Rebecca Sears, M.Div, LPC is a pastoral psychotherapist and instructor with the Institute for Imago Relationship therapy. She trains clinicians and other professionals worldwide in Imago Relationship Therapy.
