| Demands for Greater Enterprise Resource Planning Software Capabilities Welcomed by To-Increase Posted: 21 Apr 2011 04:45 AM PDT Norwell, MA, April 21, 2011 –(PR.com)– To-Increase, a provider of Microsoft Dynamics solutions, celebrates the twenty-first anniversary of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), along with corresponding demands for greater software flexibility and integration, with a blog post highlighting the occasion. "This week marks ERP’s 21st birthday – and software vendors are celebrating with a mix of pride and apprehension," opens the blog post Enterprise Resource Planning Turns 21: Will You Come To The Party?, by Luciano Cunha, Global Industry Director, To-Increase. Cunha’s post goes on to cite comments made by John Brand, vice president of research, Springboard Research, in a recent interview posted by ZDNet Asia. Within the interview, Brand indicates that today’s ERP software buying decisions are being driven more by demands for flexibility and integration, rather than brand reputation. "The pride we software vendors feel is vast – as our products are now being trusted to take on a much larger role in the economic growth of organizations," continues Cunha. "The natural apprehension we may feel is that because ERP software customers are drawn more predominantly to software capabilities, rather than vendor reputations, we must always dedicate ourselves to improving and evolving our offerings." Cunha concludes his post by highlighting two major ERP improvements that Microsoft Dynamics, the solution offered by Cunha’s company To-Increase, has committed to: · Enhanced ability to integrate with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) "If you are part of the new crowd that will be attending ERP’s twenty-first birthday, I encourage you to learn more about our commitment to providing you with software that will not just support – but help boost – your economic growth," closes Cunha. Read the complete post, Enterprise Resource Planning Turns 21: Will You Come To The Party?, by visiting To-Increase blog at: http://blog.to-increase.com/enterprise-resource-planning-turns-21/. Within this post, you will have the opportunity to register for a complimentary demo of Microsoft Dynamics. About To-Increase Company Web Site: http://www.to-increase.com

| Turn Books Into Cash with Your iPhone Posted: 21 Apr 2011 04:45 AM PDT Beaverton, OR, April 21, 2011 –(PR.com)– A just-released Cash4Books.net iPhone app, available for the iPhone 3G/3GS/4 and iPod Touch devices, is a hit for money-saving families, time-stressed readers, starving college students, and ecologically aware shoppers who know the value of their time. The used book business is a multi-billion dollar industry. The very latest in book buyback technology, the app lets users scan book and textbook barcodes with the iPhone’s camera lens to get instantaneous price quotes from anywhere. It has already garnered enthusiastic nods of approval from reviewers at the iTunes store. The app extends a money-making opportunity previously reserved for the most dedicated book scouts to anyone with an iPhone. “It takes the guesswork out of hunting down the right books at thrift stores, yard sales, or even mom and dad’s bookshelves!” suggests Jim Smith, founder and CEO of Cash4Books.net. “You don’t need to guess the resale value. The iPhone app delivers up-to-the minute price quotes. You don’t need to write down an ISBN number. You don’t even need to type it into the website. Just point and shoot – it has a rapid-fire built-in barcode scanner. You can decide whether to accept the offer prices on the spot. Shipping is free and before you know it, a check is in the mail or transferred to you via PayPal.” Turning clutter into cash – whether for personal gain or charitable fundraising – is a lasting trend. With this tool, a person can clear book clutter from a shelf in minutes and feel great about the return on that small investment in time. “Whenever you move to a new home, there is a decision about lugging all those heavy books with you or donating them. Either way, you have to box them up. So scan and ship the ones you can sell,” says Smith. The app will tell you what Cash4Books.net is paying for any book on its buying list across dozens of genres – textbooks, romance novels, reference works, children’s books, home & garden, professional & technical, non-fiction, fiction, and more. “As a bonus, the app arrives just in time for Earth Day,” says Smith, who often encounters people who are committed to selling and buying used items since it embodies all three facets of Reduce, Re-use, and Recycle.

| Oyezz Real Estate Was Leader in 2010-2011 Short Sales of Homes in Dallas-Fort Worth Area Posted: 21 Apr 2011 04:44 AM PDT Dallas, TX, April 21, 2011 –(PR.com)– Oyezz Real Estate, which specializes in short sales as alternatives to home foreclosure, was the leader in short sales in the Dallas-Fort Worth area in the period covering all of 2010 and the first quarter of 2011, according to sales figures from North Texas Real Estate Information System (NTREIS), the Multiple Listing Service for North Texas. Based on sales data about known short sales reported by NTREIS, agent Eartha Wang of Oyezz logged 45 short sales over the 15-month period, with 38 of them in 2010. She was the single best agent when it came to short sales, with five more than her nearest competitor. In the region, there was a total of 2,665 successful short sales in 2010-2011. Oyezz Real Estate focuses almost exclusively on short sales, which are an increasingly popular alternative to foreclosure. In a short sale, the property is sold for a price below the amount of the loan. The lender agrees to accept the sale proceeds as payment in full, and the homeowner walks away from the home free of debt and free of the "stain" of a foreclosure on their credit report. With a short sale, the homeowner can stay in the house until it is sold, as with any normal home sale. The transaction is recorded on the homeowner’s credit report as a “settled debt,” and once the individual’s finances improve, he or she can consider buying another house within as little as 18 months. Alternatively, a foreclosed homeowner will have to wait seven years to buy another house. “Short sales are an excellent way to avoid foreclosure, but they do pose challenges,” said John Anderson, President of Oyezz Real Estate. “For example, there is quite a bit of negotiation required to get the lender to agree to the short sale and to the listing price. That is why it pays to work with someone who is experienced and knows the short sale process well.” Anderson pointed out that over the 2010-2011 15-month period, the NTREIS figures show there were 3,580 failed short sale attempts in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. That is in line with industry averages, Anderson noted, adding that working with agents who specialize in short sales increases the likelihood of a successful sale. In the 2010-2011 period, NTREIS figures show there were 21,137 foreclosure sales, or nearly eight times the number of successful short sales. In many of those foreclosure cases, Anderson said, the houses could have been sold instead through short sales to benefit both the homeowner and the lender. “A short sale is far less stressful for a homeowner than being thrown out of their house, saddled with a bad credit history, and often still forced to pay back the difference between the sale price and their mortgage,” Anderson emphasized. “And for the lender, they can avoid the foreclosure legal process as well as the high costs of having to maintain an empty house until they can sell it, which is much harder when the property is vacant.” Oyezz Real Estate has been handling short sales since before the housing market downturn made such sales more common. The company has a dedicated short sale team, professional trained negotiators, and extensive training in short sales and lender negotiations. About Oyezz Real Estate

| Vetra Systems Announces Intelligent USB Keyboard and Mouse Workstation Splitters Posted: 21 Apr 2011 03:48 AM PDT Hauppauge, NY, April 21, 2011 –(PR.com)– Vetra Systems Corporation announced today two models of intelligent USB workstation splitters-multiplexers, the USB-882-KM and the USB-882-KM-KS. These new products connect two workstations to one PC. Each workstation may consist of one USB keyboard and one mouse, giving a PC access to a total of four devices. These unique products go beyond the functionality of USB hubs by automatically allowing only one workstation at a time to have access to the PC, thereby preventing unwanted input from the other workstation as might occur when all input devices have access to the PC. Vetra’s new USB workstation splitters effectively form an intelligent, switched USB hub. These products are available for immediate delivery. On the USB-882-KM model, the first workstation to generate keyboard or mouse input "seizes" the PC and becomes the "active station." It remains "active" until no further keyboard or mouse input is detected for a period of five seconds, at which time it relinquishes control of the PC and the whole process starts again. The USB-882-KM-KS model uses a two-position front panel key operated switch to select the active workstation, providing lockout/tagout. Input to the PC is limited to the selected workstation. The key can be removed in either position for security purposes. The USB-882-KM "USB-Mux"™ family of USB Splitters/Multiplexers use Vetra’s patented technology, including the unique TruReflekt™ USB device enumeration technology. The keyboard and mouse are not just emulated, as in most competitive products, but all special features that may be present in the keyboard and mouse are conveyed to the PC, and are available to the user during device operation. It also means that a workstation can consist of a variety of Human Interface Devices (HIDs), and is not limited to just keyboards and mice. Vetra can modify these products on custom order basis to suit special applications. The USB workstation splitters-multiplexers extend Vetra’s existing “MegaMux” ™ family of PS/2 workstation splitters-multiplexers by now offering USB workstation support. Vetra’s workstation Splitters/Multiplexers are widely used in industrial control, point-of-sale, and instrumentation applications. Additional details about the USB-882 USB Keyboard and Mouse Splitters/Multiplexers can be found at http://www.vetra.com/882Utext.html About Vetra Contact:

| Northern Rock reveals savers are losing out on £1 billion in ISA interest Posted: 21 Apr 2011 03:34 AM PDT Northern Rock reveals savers are losing out on £1 billion in ISA interest Northern Rock has revealed that savers are missing out on around £1 billion in ISA interest (PRWEB) April 21, 2011 Northern Rock has revealed that UK ISA savers are missing out on around £1 billion of interest each year that they could be earning if they shopped around. Cash ISAs or Individual Savings Accounts (http://www.northernrock.co.uk/savings/ ) are designed to allow consumers aged 16 and over to take advantage of tax-free* interest. Northern Rock's research into instant-access ISA products available in the UK, demonstrates that over 69% of Cash ISA balances earn interest at less than 1.00% pa – which amounts to £60 billion in balances. The market intelligence on products available up to January this year has shown that if all the instant-access ISA consumers currently earning less than 1.00% pa were to switch their tax-free* savings to a variable rate Cash ISA paying at least 2.65% pa, they would receive additional interest over a year of around £1 billion**, before any conditional bonuses. Northern Rock's Easy ISA***, which was launched to welcome in the new tax year, when the individual tax-free* Cash ISA (http://www.northernrock.co.uk/savings/Find/Results/ISAs/ ) subscription limit increased to £5,340 for the 2011/12 tax year, pays 2.65% pa variable, and can be operated either by post or in branch. Or for those who prefer to operate their account online, e-ISA*** pays 2.80% pa variable. Andy Tate, customer and commercial director at Northern Rock said: "This research highlights the higher returns ISA savers can earn if they are prepared to shop around. "When looking at where to save for the new ISA year, it is important that customers also consider whether their previous years' tax-free* savings are in the best ISAs for their needs and, if not, they can move it to a better account. "All of Northern Rock's Cash ISAs accept transfers in from other ISA providers and previous year's subscriptions. We have also designed our ISA range to be as simple and straightforward as possible. That means there are no short-term introductory bonuses, and customers don't need to have other types of accounts with us either. "We hope this research will point people to the fact that Northern Rock provides a competitive choice of tax-free options to make their money work harder for them, whatever they are saving for." About Northern Rock: The Northern Rock site includes a range of interactive tools – such as a jargon buster, a mortgage calculator (http://www.northernrock.co.uk/Mortgages/Find ) and a budget planner – to help take the complexity out of selecting the right savings product to meet individual circumstances, and a product calculator for each of Northern Rock's products, including its Cash ISAs, to help work out the estimated return on investment. Notes to Editors: ** If all the consumers whose ISAs pay less than 1.00% pa variable switched to Northern Rock's Easy ISA at 2.65%, altogether they would receive a minimum additional interest income over a year of £999 million. This is based on ISA Instant Access stock and interest rate data from CACI's Current Account & Savings Database taken at 31 January 2010. *** Easy ISA issue 2.

| SenaCare and Doktor-i.com Announce the Launch of “Ask the Doctor” Posted: 21 Apr 2011 03:15 AM PDT Dubai, United Arab Emirates, April 21, 2011 –(PR.com)– SenaCare and Doktor-i.com (Member of Portal Holdings) today announced a relationship to launch an online second opinion platform aimed at increasing patient awareness in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and fostering relations among international healthcare professionals. The two companies began collaborating on the service partnership in January during Arab Health 2011, the second largest medical exhibition in the world, held annually in Dubai. The joint service, Ask the Doctor will be available on Doktor-i.com’s website and will serve as an area where users can connect with SenaCare’s American Board Certified physicians, who represent a variety of medical specialties and multicultural backgrounds.

Under the terms of the agreement, SenaCare healthcare services (medical/health travel, expert panel diagnosis and referral, and telemedicine) will be listed on Doktor-i.com’s website. Innumerable international health reports have recently released information emphasizing the importance of online healthcare communities as a means to better support the flow of communication between patients and providers as well as the sharing of medical information among healthcare professionals. Online health communities, such as Ask the Doctor, can assist patients with gathering more personalized healthcare information in order to possibly prevent or manage certain health conditions.

| Prefabricated Roll-Out Steel Reinforcement for Luton Academies Construction Posted: 21 Apr 2011 01:14 AM PDT Prefabricated Roll-Out Steel Reinforcement for Luton Academies Construction Barnfield South Academy and Barnfield West Academy in Luton have been completed and handed over on time, thanks in part to the use of Hy-Ten's rollout steel reinforcement system for concrete, Bamtec. Bootle, Merseyside (PRWEB UK) 21 April 2011 Barnfield South Academy and Barnfield West Academy in Luton have been completed and handed over on time, thanks in part to the use of Hy-Ten's rollout steel reinforcement system, Bamtec. This has been used for concrete floor construction enabling main contractor Wates Construction to keep on-track despite dreadful weather. Wates Construction decided to adopt the Bamtec system for concrete floor reinforcement to make time in the schedule. Academies have high concentrations of mechanical services and unusual design requiring an extended fit-out phase. This reduces the time available to build the basic structure. Winter weather conditions can also cause further delays. Bamtec pre-fabricated 'carpets' of roll-out steel reinforcement were used rather than manually placed re-bar. This saved substantially the time required for steel reinforcement fixing. Phil Whitby, Wates' construction manager for both academies explained, "Using conventional methods, each floor may take two weeks or more for steel placement before the pour. Bad weather adds to this greatly. Bamtec enabled us to reduce this to typically four days between each pour, taking maximum advantage of the available good weather windows. When we had perfected the method we even completed one pour to pour cycle in less than two days." Hy-Ten provides contractors with substantial technical support when using the Bamtec system. This includes, where required, a service to apply finite element analysis to the structural engineering specification. By close curtailment of the stress zones around columns it is often possible to reduce the diameter, length or density of re-bar needed and achieve significant steel savings. Hy-ten also have a much wider selection of re-bar available enabling structural requirements to be met more precisely. The Bamtec system greatly reduces skilled labour needed. There are health and safety advantages too, as the roll-out carpets can be positioned with less back-breaking effort than with individually placed and wired re-bars. Bamtec steel fixers report less back strain and injury. "Completion of the structural frame and achieving a weather tight building enabled us to get on with the crucial fit-out phase just as the worst of the winter weather broke. The campus was complete and handed over on time, safeguarding and enhancing our reputation with the local authority," concluded Phil Whitby. The new Barnfield Academy buildings provide students and the community with a first rate environment and new learning opportunities. The academies have gone from strength to strength since being taken over by the Barnfield Federation in 2007. In addition to moving into the vibrant new buildings, GCSE results on both sites have more than tripled and they are now judged 'outstanding' and 'good' by Ofsted. The Barnfield Federation is led by Barnfield College; an Ofsted rated 'outstanding' further education college that also has Beacon status.

| Estes Audiology Hearing Centers and Sertoma Introduce New Induction Loop Technology to Central Texas Posted: 21 Apr 2011 01:13 AM PDT Estes Audiology Hearing Centers and Sertoma Introduce New Induction Loop Technology to Central Texas Hard of Hearing Will Now Be "In the Loop" during Georgetown City Council Meetings and at the Georgetown Public Library Georgetown, Texas (PRWEB) April 21, 2011 Those in the community that are hard of hearing will now be "in the loop" in meetings at the Georgetown City Council and Georgetown Public Library (The Hewlett and Friends of the Library Rooms) through the use of new induction loop technology. Generously donated and installed by Estes Audiology Hearing Centers and the Sertoma Club of Georgetown, the installation of this new technology will allow people who wear modern digital hearing aids to hear crystal clear when using these looped facilities. "With the introduction of looping, wearers of hearing aids will be able to utilize the newest in technology and yes, hear much better," stated Dr. Soriya Estes, owner and founder of Estes Audiology. "We hope that this initial installation at the Georgetown City Council Chambers and the Public Library will be the first of many public facilities implementing looping systems here in Central Texas." Mayor George Garver of Georgetown, Texas, said in response that the City of Georgetown was so grateful to Estes Audiology Hearing Centers and to the Sertoma Club. "We want to thank Estes Audiology and the Sertoma Club for the leadership in making this technology available to the citizens of Georgetown. " Induction Loop Technology allows people who use modern digital hearing aids equipped with a telecoil (T-coil) to hear better. When induction loop technology is installed in the form of a sound-transmitting wire, sound is wirelessly transmitted from a microphone, TV, audio player, telephone or any sound system directly into the hearing aid. The hearing aid's T-coil acts as a receiver allowing the user to hear the sound directly from its source within the looped environment without the interference of background noise. There is no echo or distortion produced by the room and the sound system. In Europe, induction loop systems are used extensively and are commonplace. Churches, theatres, hotels and libraries – even taxicabs – are looped in most countries throughout Europe. "The good news about induction loop systems is that everyone can benefit from them and most hearing aids today come equipped with a T-Coil," said Dr. Estes. "For those hearing aids that do not have a T-coil, many can be upgraded for this feature. The key is to educate the public and ensure that all public places become looped." "The Sertoma Club of Georgetown is excited to collaborate with Estes Audiology to make the City of Georgetown one of the first "looped" accessible cities in the state of Texas," stated Sertoma Board Member, Jim Wilson. "Being able to attend and participate in speaking engagements, meetings and educational seminars is invaluable to our hearing impaired community." Induction loop technology is superior to other wireless transmission technologies because it produces high-quality sound while alleviating background noise in a large room. In addition, induction loop technology allows one to hear without having to call attention to his/her disability in a public setting. Looping prevents wearers of hearing aids with a T-coil from having to ask for special assistance; from being required to sit in 'special seating'; or from having to borrow or rent a receiver in order to hear properly. About Estes Audiology Estes Audiology is the premier hearing healthcare provider in Central Texas. Founded on the philosophy that all patients should receive superior hearing healthcare, the Audiologists at Estes Audiology evaluate, manage, and treat audiologic disorders in more than 4,000 patients throughout Central Texas.

| Earth Day Tips From Celebrity Lighting Designer Posted: 21 Apr 2011 01:12 AM PDT Earth Day Tips From Celebrity Lighting Designer Lighting designer to the stars, and author of a new book, provides lighting tips that save energy and tells us why he opposes new light bulb ban legislation. (PRWEB) April 21, 2011 Bentley Meeker, who has lighted celebrity weddings for Chelsea Clinton, Robert De Niro, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Billy Joel, as well as thousands of events for corporations, fashion designer runways, television and movie premieres, concerts, prominent hotels, and philanthropic functions, says there are many ways to enjoy light in an energy-efficient way. He suggests:
Bentley also opposes the upcoming government ban on incandescent bulbs. "Fluorescent bulbs are not dimmable and provide a harsh light overall," he says. "The color rendering is usually unattractive and it is generally very flat, non-directional light. This all has a subtle yet very real, negative effect on one's relationship with the environment. I believe our carbon footprint will actually increase as a result of putting in these lower-energy bulbs simply because they will make us feel uncomfortable and cause a chain-reaction of energy-using events." His award-winning company, Bentley Meeker Lighting and Staging (http://www.BentleyMeeker.com), is one of the nation's largest and most prominent lighting designers and is celebrating 20 years of serving Hollywood's elite, Hampton's premiere socialites, and New York City's movers and shakers. His debut coffee table book, Light X Design: 20 Years of Lighting was released this month by Glitterati Publishing. With over 200 photos, this oversized, glossy book colorfully and artfully captures a body of lighting design work that continues to glow. Bentley, recently featured in the New York Times, has also lighted events for Victoria's Secret, Sports Illustrated and Oprah. Modern Bride named Bentley a "Top 25 Trendsetter." The New York Daily News recognized him as one of fashion's "50 Most Powerful." The Knot just named him a 2011 "Best Pick" for weddings.

| Master Plan for the Singapore University of Technology and Design Wins International Design Award Posted: 21 Apr 2011 01:03 AM PDT Master Plan for the Singapore University of Technology and Design Wins International Design Award Designed by Sasaki and MKPL, Master Plan for SUTD's new campus to open in Fall of 2014 receives one of six Honor Awards in the 2011 Society of College and University Planning Awards program. Watertown, MA (PRWEB) April 21, 2011 The recently completed campus master plan for Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) has been recognized with a prestigious design award from the Society of College and University Planning (SCUP). The master plan for SUTD's new campus—designed by Sasaki Associates in collaboration with MKPL—has received a 2011 Honor Award for Excellence in Planning. SUTD's new campus, which is planned to open in the fall of 2014, will support a projected growth to 7,000 students on a site area of 22 hectares. The SCUP Excellence in Planning Award is a juried competition held annually in the United States and open to professional consultants and institutions. The award celebrates comprehensive campus plans and building designs that are developed in a collaborative manner with multiple stakeholders including campus planners, architects, administrators, faculty, and consultants. Underscoring the competitiveness of the SCUP awards program, the Master Plan for SUTD was one of only six Honor Awards recognized from a total of 200 submissions received in the 2011 SCUP Awards program. The honor award is the highest level of awards bestowed by the jurors in the competition. The Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) master plan provides a unique challenge – to design a new university campus that advances the implementation of a cutting-edge academic vision of interdisciplinary, collaborative, and project based learning. The University's academic mission and curriculum, developed in partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), is based on bold new paradigms for integrating technology and design education in the fields of Engineering Systems Design, Engineering Product Development, Architecture and Sustainable Design, and To foster SUTD's innovative curriculum, the master plan puts forth a bold and visionary framework for the campus environment. The design accomplishes this through an east-west pedestrian spine that showcases the University's interdisciplinary and collaborative mission, gives an address for the major program elements, creates a public face for the University, and connects to surrounding future development. Multi-functional and interconnected academic buildings will reinforce collaboration, invention, and creativity. Student life facilities, housing, and recreational buildings will be integrated in mixed-use precincts and connected through a range of public spaces and pedestrian links. Sustainable design strategies are comprehensively integrated, through building orientation and green roofs, building systems, pedestrian and transit access, and storm water management. The overall result will be a campus that has a strong identity, supports a vibrant community, and demonstrates a commitment to engaged learning and student development. To create the master plan, Sasaki and MKPL worked closely with MIT faculty and administrators to explore how the design of the new campus could best support SUTD's new inter-disciplinary model of education. Successful strategies from MIT were applied in the SUTD master plan, including a re-envisioning of MIT's famous "infinite corridor" as a strong east-west pedestrian spine to the campus, technologically-advanced classrooms and laboratory spaces, and the location of learning and living spaces in locations that foster collaboration and connection between and among students and faculty. In addition to Sasaki Associates and MKPL, the project team included Sitetectonix Pte Ltd for landscape design, Max Fordham LLP for sustainability, J Roger Preston Pte Ltd for mechanical & electrical engineering, KPK Quantity Surveyors Pte Ltd for cost estimating, KTP Consultants Pte Ltd for civil and structural engineering, Duffill Watts Pte Ltd for traffic, and Kerstin Hoeger Architekten GMBH for campus research.

| Rich Dad Author Robert Kiyosaki Releases Unfair Advantage Book During Financial Literacy Month Posted: 21 Apr 2011 01:03 AM PDT Rich Dad Author Robert Kiyosaki Releases Unfair Advantage Book During Financial Literacy Month Just in time for Financial Literacy Month (April), Rich Dad Poor Dad Author Robert Kiyosaki releases his newest book: "Unfair Advantage – The Power of Financial Education" (http://www.richdad.com/unfairadvantage.) With the world recovering from the Great Recession, the value of the dollar dropping and the middle class shrinking, people are looking for financial answers. Whether it's investing in real estate, commodities or businesses, Kiyosaki shares 5 Unfair Advantages that can be gained through The Power of Financial Education. The subtitle of the book, "What Schools Will Never Teach You About Money," emphasizes Kiyosaki's long-held belief in the breakdown of the school system when it comes to financial education. "Unfair Advantage" is now available in print format, eBook and enhanced eBook with embedded video and news clips (Kiyosaki's first enhanced eBook ever.) Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) April 21, 2011 Within hours of its official release, Robert Kiyosaki's new book, "Unfair Advantage" topped Amazon's list of Business Bestsellers last week as the world searches for financial answers. As a global financial education advocate, Kiyosaki has written 18 books and teaches worldwide. Kiyosaki explains, "It's unlikely that any one of us can change Barack Obama… or that Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke will take our calls… or that we can influence the decisions of the World Bank or a multinational corporation that's sending jobs outside the United States." In "Unfair Advantage," the best-selling author "challenges people to invest in the one thing they can control: themselves." Kiyosaki explains, "The format is simple and easy to understand….You'll understand how debt and taxes make the rich richer where debt and taxes make the poor poor…It's all about the knowledge you put in your head." Best known as the outspoken author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, Kiyosaki challenged the world to entertain a new point of view when he taught, in 1997, that 'your house is not an asset.' Today, millions owe more on their homes than their home is worth and Bank of America agrees. On the same day that "Unfair Advantage" launched, Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan shared at the 2011 National Association of Attorneys General conference, "It's sobering to think, but some people shouldn't be thinking of (their home) as an asset,…They should be thinking of it as a great place to live." Kiyosaki's new book provides the answers for how to invest wisely in real estate, commodities and businesses by getting educated, watching the trends, and building or buying assets that generate positive cashflow, A life-long advocate of education and personal development – and an avid student of history – Kiyosaki believes that a rich life, a life that is fulfilling emotionally, spiritually and financially, is within everyone's grasp… if the person is willing to do what it takes to realize their goals and dreams. Easier said than done, Kiyosaki admits – but doable, nonetheless, for those who commit and take action. By simply investing in financial knowledge, investors can make debt and taxes advantages versus disadvantages. "It's financial education that gives you the knowledge and power to make changes in your life," Kiyosaki says, and believes that "Unfair Advantage" offers new ideas and new solutions for volatile and unsettling – often frightening – economic climate in which we live. Without financial education the average person, middle class or poor, cannot comprehend how debt and taxes can be used to create wealth. The rich, on the other hand, have leveraged these financial tools to their advantage for centuries. On the heels of his 2010 "New York Times" bestseller "Conspiracy of the Rich," Kiyosaki's new book takes a new and hard-hitting look at the factors that impact people from all walks of life as they struggle to cope with change and challenges that impact their financial lives. In "Unfair Advantage," Kiyosaki reveals the 5 unfair advantages that people everywhere can learn to use as their unfair advantages: Knowledge, Taxes, Debt, Risk and Compensation. As Robert Kiyosaki explains, "The crisis is not over. The worst is yet to come so get on to this book, and prepare for a rough future, but a prosperous future if you have the right financial education."

| New Glucose Control Formula, Gluco-X, Helping Control Insulin Resistances and Diabetes Naturally Posted: 21 Apr 2011 01:02 AM PDT New Glucose Control Formula, Gluco-X, Helping Control Insulin Resistances and Diabetes Naturally Diabetes sufferers who are considering gastric bypass surgery as a last resort in controlling their glucose levels may want to give a new product a try before making such a risky decision. Gluco-X, an all-natural glucose control formula that combines the most highly effective blood sugar–regulating ingredients in the world today, safely and effectively keeps those levels in check. Doral, FL (PRWEB) April 21, 2011 Diabetics who have exhausted all their lifestyle-change options and have been told by their physicians that the only way to keep their blood sugar levels under control is through lifelong medication and/or surgery may find an all-natural compromise in the new product Gluco-X. A special formulation of glucose control ingredients, Gluco-X has been clinically proven to safely and effectively improve glucose control in diabetes sufferers. In fact, the manufacturer of the product takes such great pride in the quality and efficacy of Gluco-X that it offers a 100% money-back guarantee on every purchase. A projection by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently estimated that "up to a third of U.S. adults could suffer from diabetes by 2050 should Americans continue to gain weight and avoid exercise." Indeed, diabetes has become such an epidemic in the United States that in March 2011 experts in the disease began backing the use of weight-loss surgery for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. While many diabetics benefit from such drastic measures, bariatric surgery is not without risks. Negative side effects include gallbladder disease, ulcers, gastrointestinal tract bleeding, pulmonary embolism and even death. Yet many Americans are resorting to the surgery in a last-ditch effort to combat the devastating effects of diabetes. Gluco-X may help them avoid making such a decision. Doctor of naturopathy Dr. Sherrill Sellman has lauded Gluco-X in the media for its all-natural glucose-control ability. In an NBC appearance, she said that the product, "was proven to reduce blood sugar levels three times greater than traditional diabetes pharmaceuticals." Additionally, in a Reuters' news report, she was cited as saying, "Certain combinations of natural ingredients (such as the nutrients found in Gluco-X) can boost those effects (of lifestyle remedies like diet and exercise)." That combination of ingredients of which she speaks includes trace minerals like chromate, zinc and manganese as well as the antioxidant alpha-lipoic acid. The University of Maryland Medical Center explains, "Alpha-lipoic acid can lower blood sugar levels, and its ability to kill free radicals may help reduce pain, burning, itching, tingling, and numbness in people who have nerve damage caused by diabetes (called peripheral neuropathy)." In particular, one study showed that taking alpha-lipoic acid helps, "another diabetes-related condition called autonomic neuropathy, which affects the nerves supplying the heart." John Haggy, a Gluco-X user, has nothing but praise for his experience with the product. "I have to admit I was a little skeptical when I started taking Gluco-X. I have taken similar products in the past and have not had good success. I decided to give it a try and I am sure glad I did. My blood sugar has dropped from 385 to under 200 and I am feeling better than I have in years. I have more energy and feel more alert throughout the day." For more information on how to safely and effectively maintain control over glucose levels, contact Gluco-X's manufacturer at info(at)gluco-x(dot)com. To learn more about the all-natural, non-allergenic, caffeine-free, vegetarian formulation of the product or to order a trial supply, visit Gluco-X online at http://gluco-x.com.

| Calxeda Awarded Big Idea Company from GigaOm; to Speak at Green:Net 2011 Posted: 21 Apr 2011 12:59 AM PDT Calxeda Awarded Big Idea Company from GigaOm; to Speak at Green:Net 2011 ARM Server Company Among 10 Chosen to Present Its Approach at San Francisco Gathering of CleanTech Industry Leaders San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) April 21, 2011 Calxeda today announced its selection as one of the ten companies recognized by GigaOm editors as a Big Idea Company at Green:Net 2011, the cleantech conference held today. As part of the honor, Calxeda VP Marketing, Karl Freund, will present the company's vision for high performance, low power chips that will transform the server market and improve data center power and space efficiency by as much as ten-fold. Green:Net, now in its third year, is a recognized industry gathering of cleantech influencers – investors, innovators, press, etc. The GigaOm editors, in their selection of Calxeda, say the company "has developed ARM-based Server-on-a-Chip technology that dramatically lowers the cost of internet-scale server solutions." "We have enjoyed our relationship with GigaOm since our earliest days," said Barry Evans, Calxeda CEO. "This organization, its writing and its events truly understand, at the deepest, most technical level, the market, the opportunities, the players and the role we at Calxeda are intending to play. We are honored to be among a select few to present on stage at Green:Net." Calxeda has been quickly moving forward on bringing its industry-changing chips to market, from aggressive funding and a stellar investment syndicate of advisors as announced in August 2010, to rounding out a top notch executive team by attracting big-brand players from Intel (and Marvell), IBM, HP, Freescale (and SigmaTel) and Polycom by end of 2010. Early 2011, the company was honored by MIT's Technology Review as one of the 50 most innovative companies in the world. Just last month, in advance of GigaOm's Structure Big Data Show in NYC, Calxeda revealed some significant server plans, including a commitment to 10X, or higher, performance/Watt performance advantage. Calxeda revealed that the first reference designs for OEM partners and select end user and developer customers will be based on ARM Cortex A9 quad-core SOC design. Calxeda also revealed that a Calxeda-based server would consume only 5 watts, compared to over 100 watts for most of today's servers. The company intends to open up for Proof of Concept proposals by end of 2011. Freund will discuss these plans, as well as additional details, in his five minute lightening talk at Green:Net. "I have been following and reporting on Calxeda for over a year now," said Stacey Higginbotham, editor, GigaOm. "I keep pushing them to reveal more, share the secret sauce of what they are up to. Here's hoping Karl gives us more at Green:Net. What they are suggesting they will deliver could truly change the data center and server world, and this is why they were chosen as a Green:Net Big Idea company."

Women control 75 percent of the total personal wealth in the United States today, fill more than half the jobs, earn more than half the college degrees, and make up the fastest growing sector of new business owners. Yet most American women have not taken steps to put the legal mechanisms in place through estate planning to protect their assets, their families and themselves. Boston, MA (PRWEB) April 21, 2011 Attorney, Patricia Annino recently announced the release of an updated version of her successful book, Women and Money: A Practical Guide to Estate Planning to include recent changes in the laws that govern how we protect our assets during and beyond our lifetime.

Annino's book is an exhortation, resource and trusted companion for women in all facets of life.

Estate planning is a way to leave instructions for a lifetime, a way to make sure that if anything ever happens to you, the person you want to take care of your children will do so, your directions will determine the care they will be given, and your finances will be great enough to cover all costs. This is a book for women with significant assets and women with concerns about their financial futures, women with elderly parents and women with special needs children, single, married, divorced, widowed, and remarrying women. In short, this is a book for any woman who wants to control her own financial destiny and protect those she cares about most. *How can you protect your business if something happens to your business partner? These are just a few of the questions answered in Women and Money: A Practical Guide To Estate Planning. Author Patricia M. Annino is a nationally recognized authority on estate planning and a partner in the Boston law firm or Prince Lobe, Glovsky &Tye LLP where she chairs the Estate Planning and Tax Group.

| New International Board Launched to Raise Standards in IT Governance Training Posted: 21 Apr 2011 12:57 AM PDT New International Board Launched to Raise Standards in IT Governance Training gasq and IT Governance are today jointly launching the International Board for IT Governance Qualifications to help improve and standardise the global range and quality of training for IT governance professionals. Ely, England (PRWEB) April 21, 2011 gasq and IT Governance (ITG) are today jointly launching the International Board for IT Governance Qualifications (IBITGQ) to help improve and standardise the global range and quality of training for IT governance professionals. Werner Henschelchen, General Manager of gasq, says: 'There are a number of training organisations across Europe which are interested in delivering accredited training courses around information security management, business resilience and IT governance. The new IBITGQ framework will define structured learning paths from foundation courses through to advanced and expert-level qualifications. Qualifications will initially be built around the implementation and audit skills required for best-practice management standards, such as ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27005, BS25999 and ISO/IEC 38500.' IBITGQ will develop and publish syllabuses for each of the qualifications that it establishes, as it establishes them, and these syllabuses will be freely available from the IBITGQ website, http://www.ibitgq.org, which is currently under development and will be launched within the next two weeks. 'Open examinations for all IBITGQ courses will be available online through gasq and at the end of accredited training courses, through accredited exam centres. We have already accredited IT Governance Ltd for the delivery of training leading to the first two IBITGQ certifications,' adds Werner Henschelchen. Alan Calder, Chief Executive of IT Governance, says: 'It's hard to assess the relative quality and value of many training courses without standardised testing and external accreditation by established examination bodies. IT governance, information security and business resilience are increasingly important to organisations worldwide. We believe that a formal qualification scheme will provide a framework for professionals within the industry to develop the range of interconnected skills that employers will need in the years ahead.' IBITGQ, an association working non-for-profit incorporated under German law, draws initially on gasq's international expertise in the accreditation of training providers, provision of examinations and certification of personnel, and the well-regarded IT governance, information security and compliance training expertise of IT Governance Ltd. IBITGQ is actively recruiting additional board members from the industry and will be developing relationships with relevant industry bodies in the UK, across Europe and in North America. Those training organisations that wish to deliver IBITGQ-accredited training courses will be able to use the published syllabuses and range of supporting materials to develop their own capability to the point that they and their courses can be accredited. There will also be a range of supporting manuals, training and examination guides, and approved courseware to simplify the route to accreditation for training organisations and to help candidates prepare for the examinations. Everything that a training organisation might need in order to prepare for accreditation, and more, will be available from the IBITGQ website. The first two IBITGQ-accredited courses are the Certified ISMS ISO27001 Lead Implementer and the Certified ISMS ISO27001 Lead Auditor courses. The first ATO delivering these courses is IT Governance Ltd, and the first courses will take place in London in May. 'Continuing professional development is critical for IT governance, information security and business resilience professionals today,' adds Werner Henschelchen, 'and, for this reason, we will be working with IT Governance and members of the IBITGQ board to develop a CPD scheme that will ensure that employers continue to value the IBITGQ range of certifications. All members of the broad IT governance industry are welcome to join IBITGQ, which can be done (for a small annual fee) by going to the association's website when it is launched.' Notes to Editors: IT Governance Ltd is the one-stop shop for books, tools, training and consultancy for governance, risk management and compliance. The company is a leading authority on data security and IT governance for business and the public sector. IT Governance is 'non-geek', approaching IT issues from a non-technology background and talking to management in its own language. The company's customer base spans Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and Asia.

| Why is West Hollywood Honoring Beverly Hills Attorney? Posted: 21 Apr 2011 12:48 AM PDT Why is West Hollywood Honoring Beverly Hills Attorney? Russian-born attorney feted on May 18, 2011 for outstanding community service including creation of a unique America-Israel Museum in Beverly Hills (in Larry Flynt building, of all places) (PRWEB) April 21, 2011 On May 18, 2011 Mr. Boris Gorbis, a veteran consumer law attorney in Beverly Hills, will be handed a prestigious Outstanding Community Service Award by the WeHo Russian Advisory Board. The annual award is given to individuals "who devoted extraordinary amount of time and energy to making a difference in the lives of West Hollywood community members." The 61 year old Odessa (Ukraine) native and UC Berkeley law graduate is well known for his pro-bono work as a trusted advisor, spokesperson and activist of the Russian-speaking community in California. However, Mr. Gorbis will be also recognized for his role as a founder of a unique and in many ways paradoxical institution – the America-Israel Museum, located (of all places) in the Larry Flynt Productions building at Wilshire and LaCienega Blvds., in Beverly Hills. Mr. Gorbis singlehandedly created the AM-IS Museum to collect, preserve and exhibit evidence of a "love affair" between America and Israel in the pivotal periods of the 20th Century. There is no other institution in the US or Israel with a mission to honor bonds between Americans (Christians and Jews) and Israelis; between the land of the free and the land of return. The Museum houses "actual umbilicals" — tens of thousands of documents, photographs, letters and artifacts from the early 1900's to mid 70's. A poorly kept secret, it occupies half of the mezzanine floor provided by Mr. & Mrs. Flynt at a nominal rent and is visited by hundreds of locals and guests from Israel, US and abroad (a 24 hour appointment is requested). The award is also a recognition of the Russian-speaking community growing beyond its émigré agenda and taking bold steps towards asserting itself as a voice in the civic and Jewish affairs in the Greater Los Angeles area. The awards ceremony and reception will take place on Wednesday, May 18, 2011 at 6 pm at the Crystal Restaurant at 7901 Santa Monica Blvd (2d floor) in West Hollywood, Ca, 90046. Over 200 people are expected to mix with local, state and nationally elected officials, community leaders and luminaries and feast on hors d'oeuvres and samplings of Russian food. For additional information, please contact Tatiana Rodzinek WeHo Outreach Coordinator at 323-848-6826.

"People are being very careful to fit their house to their lifestyles and the homes on this year's tour reflect that trend." Arbor Custom Homes, T.A. Liesy Homes NW, Legend Homes and Polygon Homes at Villebois and 937 Condominiums are this year's Ultimate Open House host sites. The host sites serve as starting points for the tour, where attendees can pick up the Ultimate Open House Guidebook complete with maps of all the homes, driving directions and contact information. Ultimate Open House Passports, new for 2011, are also available for pickup at the host sites. Attendees can bring their passports to any of the 43 homes on the tour and receive a unique passport stamp at each. The more stamps received, the better the odds to win one of seven weekend getaway packages at destinations including Bend, Newport, Cannon Beach, Lincoln City, and several others. Additionally, 10 home buyers can receive an $800 gas credit on new NW Natural accounts when an eligible home is purchased. "In addition to our host sites, this year we're excited to include two idea homes on the tour that will feature either a unique concept room or layout," said Nancy Haskin, Vice President of Shows, Membership and Education for the HBA. The first idea home, presented by Gertz Fine Homes, features a "Man Cave." Many homeowners convert unused spare rooms or basements into Man Caves, but new homes can be built with these ultimate spaces men can call all their own right from the get-go, no remodeling required. Gertz Fine Homes' Man Cave Idea Home features a sports bar theme with four wall-mounted big screen TVs, a pool table, a raised bar, comfy barstools, refrigerator, luxury leather seating, and ample storage for audio, video, and gaming equipment. Gertz Fine Homes' second idea home, called the Vireo Boomer High Performance Idea Home, is designed with Baby Boomers' needs and expectations in mind. It features elements important to Boomers today, such as ease of mobility, security, and its location has convenient access to recreation, educational opportunities, and cultural events. The single-floor plan is designed with easy-living in mind: wide door frames, minimal steps, ramp convertibility, abundant lever handles, comfort toilet heights, lower cabinet roll-outs, and a high-technology security system. The idea home is located in a community-oriented Tualatin neighborhood, situated close to public transportation, the local hospital, and country club.
