Visionary Group of Leaders Earns New Name in its Mission to Influence Change in the Healthcare Supply Chain

Innovators Forum expected to transform contracting, purchasing and distribution landscape

Raleigh, NC (Vocus) August 12, 2010

A group of leading-edge healthcare supply chain executives – who meet regularly to share the innovative ways their organizations carry out contracting, purchasing and distribution – has changed its name, but not its focus on transforming the healthcare supply chain from within.

The assembly, previously known as the Strategic Partners Program, approved the name change at its semi-annual meeting in Florida in June. Sponsored by MediClick (http://www. mediclick. com/), a leading provider of Software-as-a-Service supply chain solutions in the healthcare industry, the forum currently consists of six large IDNs – a mixture of both MediClick customers and non-customers –representing a collective 12,000 beds throughout the country.

“We changed the name of this unique group to reflect what these executives and their organizations are really doing: blazing a new trail in the supply chain,” says Mike Merwarth, MediClick’s president. “These supply chain leaders are realizing that, simply by collaborating, they have the power to impact the entire industry.”

These ground-breaking leaders are embracing the new name and all that it represents.

“The Innovators Forum will be recognized as the foremost organization of supply chain executives who have achieved a high degree of control of their supply chain, whether it is through self contracting, self distribution or clinical integration,” says Merwarth. “These innovators, thereby, are able to drive significant savings to the bottom line of the facilities they serve and, eventually, throughout the entire industry.”

In addition to sharing insights on supply chain best practices with one another, they will also be asked to provide input for MediClick product enhancements and product strategies.

The next Innovators Forum meeting will be in December.

Knobs, Hinges and More is Proud to Introduce Objects by Tracy Glover Studios and Michael Healy Designs

www. KnobsHingesandMore. com is proud to announce the addition of Tracy Glover hand blown cabinet hardware and lighting and Michael Healy finely crafted door knockers.

Southold, NY (PRWEB) February 27, 2006

www. KnobsHingesandMore. com is happy to offer Objects of Art by Tracy Glover Studios. The ageless art of glass blowing is being energized by artisan Tracy Glover, who breathes new life into the medium with innovative talent, studied skill and a healthy reverence for tradition.

The Rhode Island-based glass blower is the designer and creator of the Tracy Glover Collection - an elegant family of handcrafted table lamps, floor lamps and vases. A study in understatement, Ms. Glover's creations speak to any décor.

Ms. Glover employs Venetian glass techniques, choosing glass with vivid, ultra-rich colors like aurora, plum, celery, tourmaline and steel blue. These striking hues take on a new dimension of vibrancy when combined with neutrals. This drama of contrast is one of Ms. Glover's signatures.

Each lamp and vase ordered is individually produced at the artist's industrial studio. Mass production does not exist. The glass blowing process begins only when an order is placed, not a second sooner, promising the buyer a one-of-a-kind result.

Subtle variations in pattern and color are a natural occurrence in the process. Therefore, the artist recommends ordering pairs of lamps at the same time, to ensure a good match.

With a degree from the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design, Tracy Glover's path has taken her across the world. From Manhattan to Murano, Italy, this bold innovator has patiently crafted her signature elegance. It is her honor to have been selected as the first female glassblower at Val Saint Lambert Crystal factory in Belgium, a revered facility nestled in a 14th century convent.

A world away, both literally and figuratively, her creations have appeared on The White House Christmas tree, and have a permanent place at The Clinton Library in Little Rock and the Detroit Institute of Art in Michigan. Ms. Glover's lamps are sprinkled like jewels in the Spa Tower Corridor and the Baccarat Room at the famed Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas.

We are also happy to offer Michael Healy Designs finely sculptured door knockers and door bell ringers. Michael Healy studied metal sculpture at the University of Notre Dame where he learned century-old bronze casting techniques which became the foundation for his artistic expression. Michael's artistic style is very identifiable. He is known for his ability to skillfully combine quality materials into sculptural, yet functional forms. He is particularly noted for his talent for turning an everyday object into a unique work of art. His most recognizable works are this series of unusual Door Knockers and Doorbell Ringers. Michael Healy has prolifically sculpted over one hundred door sculptures. His door sculptures depict interests such as gardening, cooking, outdoor life, the Southwest, horse-back riding and the seashore.

To ensure consistently high quality at all stages of the metal casting process, Michael Healy works from his own foundry in Rhode Island. Michael is assisted by a select group of talented artisans who handcraft each Door Knocker or Doorbell Ringer. This personal attention to detail guarantees that every door sculpture is truly special. Michael Healy signs each of his Door Knockers confirming its authenticity and quality craftsmanship.

A New Twist. . . A Classic Look In the world of decorative hardware, small changes go a long way. Putting new pulls on kitchen cabinets or new knobs on dresser drawers is the easiest way to alter the entire look of a room. With his new line of hardware, award-winning designer Lewis Dolin brings a world of experience – and a fresh look – to the decorative hardware market. Dolin's distinct interior designs and tabletop accessories have been featured in a wide variety of national and international publications, including the New York Times, Interior Design, Food & Wine and The Home by Susan Szenasy. His entry into the decorative hardware market is marked by the same simplicity of design and clean forms that have gained him a reputation as an original, talented designer.

Bin pulls take a dramatic new look with the Glass Bin Pull Series and complementary Mushroom Knobs. Both the Bar and Barrel Series are simple geometric forms with a great deal of versatility in their application. The Acorn Glass Series is an elegant turn on a natural form. And the Ceramic Series – King, Queen, Pawn, and Bishop – brings a clever, new twist to a classic look. A door has to have hinges and a means of opening and closing. Add some dash to the required hardware by making decisions about their look and feel. Choose the warmth of brass or the strength of a black finish. At the front door, decide to dress up the doorbell by choosing hardware that adds definitive character. Decide not to have a doorbell, but select a stylish door knocker instead. Make the front door the first statement you make for your home. Make your inner doors confirm the statement. Whether adding a ceramic knob or a gecko cabinet pull; a glass drawer pull or brass hinges to your kitchen cabinets, the warmest room in the house takes on the cozy, homey feeling that is its nature.

It’s all about the details, the personalization and ownership that comes with the details, that makes enhancing a kitchen something of an adventure … and fun. Floor registers frequently come with memories of growing up. Of home, or of grandma’s and grandpa’s house. And it’s impossible to think of those memories without warmth – literally. Recreate those memories with a register cover reminiscent of those days, and make the warmth in your house match the warmth of your childhoodWhen it comes to beautifying your home, we take nothing for granted. Knobs, Hinges & More only carries the finest quality, most unique, and most beautiful fixtures for your home--and offers them at the lowest possible prices. KnobsHingesandMore. com carries the following manufacturers: Anne at Home, Architect and Heroes, Atlas Homewares, Colombo Designs, East of Eden, Emenee Products, Bouvet Hardware, Classic Brass, Deltana, Lews' Hardware, Megna Hot Glass, Michael Aram, MNG Designer Hardware, Modern Objects, North River Mint, Premier Hardware Designs, Perrin & Rowe, Providence Artworks, Pullware, Rohl, River Ridge, Rosalie Sherman, Samuel Heath, Susan Goldstick, TE-MA, Top Knobs, Umbra, Von Morris, Waterwood, Whitehaus Collection, Wood Ventures, Blanco, Tracy Glover Studios, Michael Healy Designs and many more. www.

Multicultural Agents Launch Online Service to Give Minorities Easy Access to Health, Life Insurance in California

One Voice Insurance Services to offer in-language, culturally relevant services.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 14, 2007

A former industry executive and a network of leading multicultural agents later this week will launch One Voice Insurance Services, an online portal designed to provide minority consumers and business owners with in-language and culturally relevant information about health and life insurance products in California.

One Voice Insurance Services will host a launch reception on Friday, March 16, 2007 at 5 p. m. at City Club on Bunker Hill, located at Wells Fargo Center, 333 S. Grand Ave., Suite 5450, in Downtown Los Angeles.

Through its online portal, www. onevoiceinsuranceservices. com, consumers will now be able to access the network of independent agents throughout California that will provide health and life insurance information in English, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese, Korean and the Persian language of Farsi. Agents who speak Vietnamese and Tagalog are expected to join the network in April. Other languages will be added as the market need grows.

"Providing in-language and culturally relevant information about insurance products and services in California allows us to educate the state's growing, multicultural population and provide them affordable insurance options that will address the individual needs of their families and businesses," said Leonor McCall-Rodriguez, president of One Voice Insurance Services and a former executive with Blue Cross of California.

Approximately 6.6 million Californians have no health insurance--with 75 percent of those residents identified as ethnic minorities. Nearly 60 percent of the uninsured are Latinos.

"In Mexico and other parts of Latin America, the government provides health care virtually free of charge," said agent-partner Gustavo Contreras, president of the Latin American Agents Association in Los Angeles. "We must help Latino consumers understand why they need to purchase health insurance for themselves and their families, especially when they're not sick."

The Los Angeles-based online portal -- which will focus initially on California, the country's most culturally diverse state -- will connect consumers to 12 bilingual, bi-cultural agent-partners located throughout the state. In the near future, the portal will unveil a series of in-language web pages and additional tools to provide minority consumers and business owners with general information about health and life insurance.

One Voice Insurance Services agents, who operate successful and well-known businesses in their communities, will write policies from some of the country's largest health and life insurance companies including Aetna, AIG, Blue Cross, Blue Shield, HealthNet, Kaiser Permanente, MetLife and Prudential Financial, among others.

Agent-partners like Wes Kwon, whose insurance agency has served the Korean and Korean American communities for more than 25 years, said many bilingual consumers simply prefer dealing with an agent that speaks their native tongue.

"Even native-born English speakers have a difficult time understanding the nuances of an insurance policy. By communicating in a customer's native language, we can develop a trustworthy relationship, better understand their needs, and explain how insurance will benefit their families and businesses," Kwon said.

About One Voice Insurance Services

Established in 2007, One Voice Insurance Services is a California corporation, with online and agent services designed to help multicultural consumers and businesses in California gain access to in-language and culturally relevant information about health and life insurance. The company was founded by insurance industry executive Leonor McCall-Rodriguez and a consortium of multi-ethnic agent-partners located throughout the state. These independent agents will educate multicultural consumers about the insurance industry and offer products and services from the nation's most respected health and life insurance providers.

Shure Finds New Voice; Goes 'Universal' With Integrated Document Technologies; Legendary Audio Equipment Maker Launches Aggressive E-Business Strategy and Centralizes Knowledge Management

Shure Incorporated, a world-wide leader in producing professional and consumer audio products, launched a new, "universal" content management tool. It did so with the Assistance of Integrated Document Technologies, Inc. (IDT). The new system is fueling Shure's e-business strategy. It allows all of the company's information to be stored, accessed and managed on the Web.

Itasca, Ill. (PRWEB) September 13, 2007

The audio electronics company that has enabled people to express themselves for generations has found a new way to express itself on a global scale.

Shure Incorporated of Niles, Ill., with the assistance of Itasca, Ill.-based Integrated Document Technologies (IDT), recently launched a new, "universal" content management tool that is fueling its e-business strategy and allowing all of the company's information to be stored, accessed and managed on the Web.

Shure is a global leader in producing professional and consumer audio products. It is best known for the microphones it has produced since 1925 -- considered the gold standard by musicians worldwide.

Singing in Several Languages

The need for better knowledge management coincided with the Shure's aggressive e-business strategy. "With operations in seven countries, we needed to access content globally and efficiently," says John Purnell, Software Development Systems Specialist, Global IS and leader of the project at Shure. "There are three global websites with in-language copy and about 40 single web pages on our site with some in-language copy."

Once its IS team mapped out a plan for selecting and rolling-out a new system, Shure enlisted the expertise of IDT, a national provider of integrated enterprise content management solutions. Assisting with system specification, implementation and integration, Shure and IDT selected the Stellent Universal Content Management (UCM) offering.

The selection of Stellent UCM, which offers modules for specific applications like Document and Web Content Management, enabled IDT to replace Shure's existing electronic content management system, and begin migrating its headquarters from a paper-based to a web-based system.

"Creating a knowledge management repository that is accessible via the Web - essentially linking our internal enterprise content to web content - made this system a perfect fit," says Purnell. "The Stellent solution is an end-to-end, integrated Enterprise Content Management strategy. It wraps up many of our needs, including self-management of content for our web and Intranet sites, digital asset management for our intellectual property; content lifecycle management, and document imaging and transactional workflow for our SAP integration."

Shure ROI:

Since the rollout in July 2006, the benefits have been noticeable. From a knowledge management standpoint, Purnell estimates that more than thirty thousand documents were incorporated into the system in the first month. Shure is steadily moving forward with its corporate strategy to have the entire global enterprise using Stellent for its content management needs.

As it relates to the launch of Shure's newly-designed website and its e-business strategy, the new system is serving its purpose as a centralized, unifying management tool. "The site is now truly global and integrated in multiple languages," says Joe Hasselwander, Manager of the E-Marketing team at Shure. "This is giving us tremendous flexibility, especially worldwide. It's allowing us to introduce new products and branding initiatives faster, and allows U. S. customers to go to our website to make purchases, making it easier to do business with us."

Internal adoption of the system has also been strong. The content management benefits enable the web content managers to manage and update information more easily and they have also made the site more accurate and accessible to Shure's channel partners.

"We're harnessing our global information resources through this system," says Purnell. That's helping make the most our staff time and talents."

An in-depth case history about how IDT helped Shure develop its content management tool is available at www. idt-inc. com/shure. pdf (http://www. idt-inc. com/shure. pdf).

Medical Malpractice Lawsuit Filed on Behalf of Brain-Damaged Patient

The Law Offices of Dr. Bruce G. Fagel and Associates announces a medical malpractice lawsuit filed on behalf of brain-damaged patient. The firm is one of the nation's premier medical malpractice plaintiff firms. The firm only handles medical malpractice cases, with an emphasis on birth and brain injuries.

Beverly Hills, CA (Vocus) September 3, 2010

The Law Offices of Dr. Bruce G. Fagel and Associates filed a lawsuit in Clark County (Nevada) District Court, Case No. A-10-624512-C, for medical malpractice (http://www. fagellaw. com) and punitive damages against Desert Springs Hospital Medical Center, Las Vegas, according to Dr. Bruce G. Fagel, the plaintiff's attorney. The suit alleges that patient Richard Chamoun, 36, suffered permanent anoxic brain damage (http://www. fagellaw. com) as a result of intentional misconduct (http://www. fagellaw. com). Chamoun, who is now comatose, legally blind and on dialysis, was admitted to the hospital with chest pains on March 6, 2010. He underwent successful cardiac bypass surgery four days later on March 10.

However, on March 19, Chamoun had two cardiac arrests, and was transferred to the Medical Intensive Care Unit, where he was supposed to receive round-the-clock cardiac monitoring. According to the case, the hospital assigned Thomas Tackett RN to care for Chamoun during the overnight shift on March 20-21. Nurse Tackett and another nurse removed Chamoun’s EKG leads for 33 minutes while bathing him. Chamoun went into cardiac arrest (http://www. fagellaw. com), and a Code Blue was called. He received CPR and 18 electrical shocks. The patient survived, but he suffered brain damage and is now in a vegetative state on life support.

“According to court documents, Desert Springs hired a nurse despite knowing that the Ohio Board of Nursing and Nurse Tackett signed a Consent Agreement restricting his license because of allegations that 40% of controlled substances he withdrew for patient care from December 2005 to January 2006 were unaccounted for when working at a Colombus, Ohio, hospital," said Dr. Fagel. "Additionally, the signed Consent Agreement indicated that when the hospital conducted its investigation, they found anti-psychotic medications in his backpack.”

Also according to court documents, when Tackett, who was on probation with the Nevada State Board of Nursing, was hired at Desert Springs in June 2008, he was ordered to submit to random drug testing. It is unclear, what–if any–drug testing the hospital required nurse Tackett to undergo.

Following the brain injury to Chamoun, the Nevada State Health Division conducted an investigation. They cited the hospital, and ruled that Chamoun did not receive care “in accordance with nationally recognized standards of practice.” The hospital released a statement indicating that neither of the nurses involved with Chamoun’s care is currently employed at Desert Springs Hospital.

National Swimming Pool Foundation to support CDC&#194;’s Healthy Swimming Project

National Swimming Pool Foundation to support CDCÂ’s Healthy Swimming Project

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO (PRWEB) January 22, 2004

The National Swimming Pool Foundation (NSPF) is pleased to announce it has awarded the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Foundation a grant to support research for its Healthy Swimming Project. The grant will further the effort to prevent the spread of illness in recreational water.

Funding from NSPF will allow CDC scientists to conduct research on the chemical, microbiologic, and sampling/testing aspects pertinent to the spread of illnesses associated with the use of treated recreational water venues such as pools, hot tubs, and water parks.

Â“There is a compelling need to get some answers on the spread of recreational water illnesses. NSPF is working to remedy the knowledge gap in this situation by providing much needed funding to get this study started.Â” says NSPFÂ’s Chief Executive Officer, Thomas M. Lachocki. NSPFÂ’s goal in funding a study of this subject is that it ultimately results in improved prevention guidelines for pool operators, public health officials, and the public. Â“The educational documents that result from this NSPF/CDC research will help reduce recreational water illness and highlight the health benefits of aquatic exercise,Â” added Lachocki.

NSPF will consider additional grant requests starting in April of 2004. Highest priority will be given to grant proposals that focus on demonstrating the health benefits of aquatic activities. Â“Now that we have invested in reducing the risk associated with recreational water, it is time to reinvigorate our effort to research and communicate the benefits of aquatic activities,Â” said Cory Willis, Chairman of the Grant Review Committee and a member of the NSPF Board of Directors. Increases in the prevalence of obesity, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure in adults and children are well documented and can be reduced by exercise and diet.

The goal of CDCÂ’s Healthy Swimming project is to study and provide information for swimmers, pool operators, and public health professionals. It further enhances the swimming experience by raising awareness about the spread of recreational water illnesses.

The National Swimming Pool Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving public health by creating a safer aquatic environment through education and research and attracting more people to aquatic exercise. The FoundationÂ’s Certified Pool and Spa OperatorÂ©(CPO) program is the leading education and certification program for pool and spa operators providing front-line defense to protect the public. The NSPF also offers aquatic facility management software. Information about NSPF grant applications and educational programs are available at www. nspf. org.

Senforce and Fortress Announce Wireless Security Alliance

Government Organizations and Businesses Gain Best-of-Breed Security Solutions for Mobile and Wireless Systems

Santa Clara, CA (PRWEB) November 5, 2004 -

Â– Senforce Technologies Inc., the leader in location-aware enterprise endpoint security, and Fortress Technologies, the leader in security for wireless networks, today announced a progressive alliance that will allow customers to deploy secure wireless networks quickly and easily. The agreement includes joint sales, marketing, channel development and product development initiatives focused on integrating wireless network and endpoint security.

Through this customer-driven alliance, IT managers can now deploy fully integrated, interoperable best-of-breed security solutions from Senforce and Fortress. The two companies expect several vertical markets Â– including government, healthcare and financial services Â– to benefit greatly from this joint initiative.

Â“OrganizationsÂ’ wireless networks are under constant attack from would-be hackers and probing eyes,Â” said Senforce Senior Director of Business Development, Brian McElroy. Â“We are giving IT managers peace of mind and making their jobs easier. Senforce and Fortress together deliver comprehensive security solutions that are fully proven and tested.Â”

Â“Security concerns and regulatory compliance issues have plagued organizations that are evaluating or deploying wireless networks,Â” added Fortress Vice President of Business Development, John Dow. Â“By embracing our combined solutions, IT managers can be confident that their data and wireless networks are secure.Â”

Details of the Security Solution

FortressÂ’ security gateway enables enterprises to vastly improve the integrity and privacy of their wireless infrastructure. Complementing FortressÂ’ strengths, SenforceÂ’s flagship product, Enterprise Mobile Security Manager (EMSM), provides powerful features for creating, deploying, enforcing and monitoring security policies on endpoints across the enterprise.

The Senforce and Fortress solutions are interoperable and compatible with key standards, including FIPS. Together, the products make it easy for customers to implement strong privacy, authentication, access control and endpoint security without scouring the market for multiple solutions, many of which are not integrated. In a typical customer scenario, SenforceÂ’s software will enforce security policies by location (for instance, at a remote enterprise campus conference room), while the Fortress gateway ensures that only authorized users can access requested network resources.

By design, Fortress offers Three-Factor Authentication, which protects enterprises at the network, device and user levels in a single, centrally managed infrastructure appliance. Meanwhile, Senforce automates policy complianceÂ—pushing out policies to all clients or endpoints, enforcing them, and collecting compliance-related information.

With the amazing support and talent TAB receives from the multitude of volunteers, the financial support of local, regional and national contributors, the generous donations from the fashion industry and drug companies, TAB will continue to help everyone affected in our community regardless of age, sex, race, sexual orientation or income level. Most importantly, TAB thanks our region as a whole for its support and generosity. With this help TAB can continue to provide the support to the Western Colorado AIDS Project, the Children’s Hospital in Denver, Brother Jeff’s Healthcare Initiative and also make a meaningful contribution in a troubled part of Africa, Manzini, Swaziland.

Disease Management Dimensions Series Takes Pulse of DM Industry

For many employers and health plans, disease management (DM) initiatives have proven to be worth their weight in improved health outcomes, healthcare quality, patient and provider satisfaction and financial outcomes for populations with congestive heart failure, diabetes, coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, end-stage renal disease, asthma, obesity, and several other chronic illnesses. The Healthcare Intelligence Network (HIN) monitors the track record of these initiatives and has just released its Disease Management Dimensions series, a collection of case studies, interviews and debate on the role of DM in the healthcare industry. For more information, please visit http://www. hin. com/cgi-local/link/news/pl. cgi? dmseriespr.

Manasquan, NJ (PRWEB) November 29, 2005

For many employers and health plans, disease management (DM) initiatives have proven to be worth their weight in improved health outcomes, healthcare quality, patient and provider satisfaction and financial outcomes for populations with congestive heart failure, diabetes, coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, end-stage renal disease, asthma, obesity, and several other chronic illnesses. The Healthcare Intelligence Network (HIN) monitors the track record of these initiatives and has just released its Disease Management Dimensions series, a collection of case studies, interviews and debates on the role of DM in the healthcare industry. For more information, please visit http://www. hin. com/cgi-local/link/news/pl. cgi? dmseriespr (http://www. hin. com/cgi-local/link/news/pl. cgi? dmseriespr).

Concentrated healthcare spending by the chronically ill segment of the population has galvanized the DM industry. HIN’s 300-page Disease Management Dimensions series tackles this trend by examining winning efforts in disease management for obesity and depression as well as strategies designed to motivate and support the chronically ill, such as incorporating health coaches, toolkits and behavior modification techniques into DM offerings. The multi-title series includes the following special reports:

Childhood Obesity: Truths, Trends & Program Design; Depression Disease Management: Healthcare's New Frontier; Disease Management & Obesity: Healthcare Impacts and Initiatives; Health Coaches: Scoring Big Gains in Disease Management ROI; Healthcare Toolkits: Empowering Consumers Through Education; Modifying Patients' Behaviors to Optimize Disease Management Outcomes; and Motivating Resistant Patients: Influencing Behaviors to Improve Outcomes.

The Disease Management Dimensions series is a compilation of special reports from more than 20 industry thought leaders and innovators in disease management and is available in print or as an Adobe® PDF® on CD-ROM with keyword searching.

“Effective disease management programs are a hedge against escalating healthcare costs,” explains Melanie Matthews, HIN’s executive vice president and chief operating officer. “Disease Management Dimensions is a great resource for healthcare executives because it offers a wealth of statistics, success strategies, case studies, advice, lessons learned and Q&As on different aspects of disease management.” Patients’ resistance to change, depression’s effect on the workplace, successful weight management programs launched by health insurers and the challenges of coaching a culturally diverse population are just a few of the hundreds of topics covered in the series, she said.

The series offers readers the opportunity to review the latest disease management initiatives in one place, as well as a cost-effective alternative to purchasing each title separately.

Give the Gift of Beauty with LaLa Lashes

Lash extensions are the perfect restorative holiday gift; eyes appear younger and the entire face looks more rested and revitalized, all without invasive surgery.

Elkridge, MD (PRWEB) December 14, 2009

With the holiday season upon us, many of us will soon begin to panic and frantically start searching for the “perfect gift” to give the women and men in their lives. Instead of the typical sweater or perfume, why not step-it-up a notch this year? Treat yourself or loved one to a relaxing and rejuvenating beauty experience that will help ease the stress of the everyday beauty routine.

Dedicated primarily to applying Xtreme Lashes Eyelash Extensions, LaLa Lashes is a multi-service spa located within Centennial Medical Group in Elkridge, MD, just minutes from the hustle and bustle of Baltimore. LaLa Lashes clients can unwind for an hour or two in a cozy and clinical setting for their application of semi-permanent eyelash extensions applied by an Advanced Trained Lash Stylist. This luxurious beauty service leaves special guests refreshed and renewed with their beautiful new set of lashes; lashes that make their eyes appear younger and their entire face look more rested and revitalized, all without invasive surgery.

Applying eyelash extensions is a very precise, non-evasive, medical type procedure. Trish Upton, LaLa Lashes Master Esthetician, is highly trained and extensively qualified to apply eyelash extensions, lash by lash, to all types of clients, whose healthy lashes may be sparse, short, thin, downward pointing or in need of extensive repair. Her advanced training and experience has made her an expert in corrective lash applications; repairing the appearance of eyelashes that have been damaged due to neglect, aging or medical issues. “Corrective lashes take a great amount of education, talent, and compassion to apply. I’m blessed to possess such talent to help clients in need, searching for natural looking results,” says Trish. Upton stresses that stylists should be properly trained and certified in semi-permanent lash applications and very knowledgeable about all aspects of the procedure, as well as, medical eye conditions. She encourages consumers to ask questions and voice any concerns they have before scheduling an appointment.

Upton custom styles her lash applications to suit each individual’s look, lifestyle or special occasion. She uses accredited techniques such as layering, feathering and eyelighting to emphasize iris color and highlight facial features. While visiting LaLa Lashes, clients can also check out other specialty services available including SofTap Permanent Makeup applied exclusively by licensed estheticians.

GovConnect Implements Microsoft. NET Strategy in its Solutions for Government Agencies

CINCINNATI, OH (PRWEB) August 26, 2003 -- GovConnect, a leader in service modernization solutions, consulting services, and payment processing for governments, today announced it has adopted MicrosoftÂ’s. NET technologies. By converting its AccessNet Web and desktop frameworks to operate using the. NET platform, GovConnect will streamline its development and provide more robust applications to government customers.

One of the first applications to apply AccessNetÂ’s. NET capabilities is GovConnectÂ’s enterprise payment engine. In addition, future Web and desktop applications built on the AccessNet platform will use MicrosoftÂ’s. NET framework.

The increased productivity allowed by the. NET framework is critical to governments that need to provide access to services for citizens and anticipate a high level of transactions. .NET is Microsoft's XML Web services platform. It enables applications, services and devices to work together as connected solutions, allowing users to act on information from a variety of smart devices. These connected solutions move the Web beyond the browser to simplify usersÂ’ lives and help organizations run more efficiently. With the. NET platform, GovConnect expects significant increases in efficiency and developer productivity, including a savings in the time required for each product release.

Â“GovConnect is committed to providing government agencies with emerging innovations from our research and development efforts," said Tom Siekman, executive vice president of GovConnect. "Our migration to the. NET platform enhances our existing applications and offers governments faster development time and more robust services.Â”

The companyÂ’s new solution continues to enable GovConnect to better support either a hosted-services model or installation at a client site with the same product, as dictated by the business preferences of each client. The. NET platformÂ’s support for XML and other accepted industry standards has made it much easier to integrate with existing client systems. GovConnect will soon release a. NET version of its enterprise payment engine that provides all the agencies within a state with a unified payments processing platform.

For more than two decades, GovConnect has implemented technology solutions for federal, state and local government agencies to modernize their processes, address inefficiencies and reduce costs, as well as improve service for citizens. With successful solutions at work in more than 45 states and several major municipalities across the U. S., GovConnect provides professional services, technology system solutions and transaction processing, specifically in the areas of health and human services, labor and taxation.

Backbone Integrates Internet Radio Software with iTunes Store

Rip, Stream, Sell. That is the new radio station model as Internet radio merges with iTunes e-commerce. Backbone Radio integrates an interactive revenue bridge with the world's most powerful music store.

Worcester, MA (PRWEB) November 14, 2006

Backbone Networks Corporation (http://backbone. com (http://backbone. com)) today announced Backbone Radio 4.2, the first software to bring the powerful features of iTunes 7 to Internet radio broadcasters and their listening audiences. For radio stations, this integration provides greater access to programming content and a built-in mechanism for generating additional e-commerce revenues through the iTunes Affiliate program. For listeners, this integration brings one-click iTunes Store search for radio content, which they can purchase and download, as well as image-enhanced streaming via iTunes.

Backbone Radio is a complete suite of software that enables Mac users to create and operate professional radio stations for the Internet. Since its inception, Backbone Radio has supported Apple QuickTime, MPEG-4 and iTunes technology and their features. Version 4.2 is dedicated to bringing these powerful features to the Internet radio industry and to its audience.

"We concentrate on helping Internet broadcasters establish professional radio stations," said Richard Cerny, Backbone president, "and a healthy station must have a workable revenue model. The iTunes affiliate program is an innovative way for stations to sell their content using the world's most powerful music store. Backbone Radio puts this power into the station itself."

Backbone Radio is the only software that streams and displays clickable images with the audio content, and only Backbone stations can display images in the iTunes player. Version 4.2 adds several enhancements, including content contribution from the station's iTunes Library and from the iTunes Store, as well as built-in e-commerce opportunities based on interactive audience transactions.

Station managers can now load music programming directly from their own iTunes libraries, and Backbone software automatically inserts the songs' URL and album cover art from the iTunes Store, based on artist, title and album names. These images, text and URL are streamed with the audio, and together form the basis for active audience participation, including clickable commerce.

Both the station and its listeners benefit from the interactive experience that results. Along with hearing music, users see a composite image with overlaid text, similar to that seen on music videos. When they hear a song they like, listeners will click on the song's album cover image in the iTunes or QuickTime player window. They are immediately taken to see more about that song in the iTunes Store, where they can purchase and download that song for future enjoyment in their iPod.® Upon a listener's purchase and download of qualifying content, the station earns a percentage of the sales price of that song or album.

Backbone Radio includes all the automation, streaming and content creation software to implement a complete live and automated Internet radio station. It is unique in its ability to provide remote event broadcast coverage, unlimited audience scalability and a powerful mix of multimedia radio consisting of streamed audio, images links and text. The software also generates Podcasts with chapters and associated images, playable on iPods. Backbone Radio is available as a universal binary compatible with new Intel Macintoshes.

Backbone Networks also provides affordable Internet radio hosting services, which include no-cost license to Backbone Radio Pro, the company's most powerful software.

About Backbone Networks Corporation

Founded in 1990, Backbone has its roots in developing television and radio software, especially content production and delivery applications. Its founders are pioneers in developing technology for the broadcasting industry. They have supplied software and systems for some of the highest profile broadcasters and their events.
