Site Pays People To Find a Home

 

HomeCharlotte.com Changes the Way People Find a Home ... They Pay Them

Charlotte natives and co-founders of local internet start-up HomeCharlotte.com, Galen and Landon Massey, believe that they have a better way for people to find their next home in the Charlotte Area; they pay them and they give back to local charities including Habitat for Humanity.

Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) July 19, 2006 -- Charlotte natives and co-founders of local internet start-up HomeCharlotte.com, Galen and Landon Massey believe that they have a better way for people to find their next home in the Charlotte Area; they pay them.

With their official site launch in July of 2006 brothers Galen and Landon Massey have released Version 1.0 of what they call Social Networking for Charlotte Real Estate. Inspired by the free and open nature of the internet, HomeCharlotte.com allows visitors to explore listings without registering and to get a Cash Rebate when they close a deal. In addition HomeCharlotte makes a Charitable Contribution of 10% of their net Commission from every successful transaction on the site to their local charity partner Habitat for Humanity of Charlotte.

“We firmly believe that this site will change the way online Real Estate is done ... in Charlotte and across the country” says co-founder and CEO Landon Massey. “What really makes our site work is that professionals, individual sellers and landlords can add personal blogs (weblog entries) about their listings, themselves and their companies on the fly 24/7 providing instant updates and the latest deals or changes in property offerings directly to consumers in real time”. This gives visitors the reassurance that they are getting fresh data and the best deals with no hassle. “Our donation to local Charities is designed to help our users feel good about using our service by helping them give something back to the community and others who are struggling.”

>From childhoods in a mobile home with no running water, no power and no heat the founders of HomeCharlotte know what struggle is and they intend to make the struggle of homeownership fade by properly applying technology and the spirit of giving to the process. “When we were growing up our parents lost a small business due primarily to the energy crisis and gas shortage of the 1970’s and we were poor. In fact, “poor” just scratches the surface. We really went without and while we can’t cure poverty and we know, beyond the shadow of any doubt, that there are other children who’ve had a much harder experience than we may have had, we feel that our struggles compel us to give something back and we will continue giving back.”

Up until now home shoppers have had few choices from sites willing to “give something back”. In fact, they have been faced with few alternatives to making home buying choices online at all. The current mix includes individual agent websites which can be challenging to locate, large national sites with fewer local listings and no individual input from the listing parties, mortgage sites that offer a rebate if users find a home and get their mortgage from that site.

What HomeCharlotte brings to the table is targeted local listings, direct blog entries from the listing parties and a cash rebate just for making contact online and closing a transaction. The site offers links to see what other properties have sold for, virtual tours of listings and an array of property types including the full shared portion of the Carolina Multiple Listing Service (MLS), builder new home listings, for sale by owner (FSBO) listings and even Rental Listings.

The simple “Smart Tab” search interface is designed for fast, simple use by visitors at any level of computer proficiency. For example, you can start with a range of monthly rental rates, beds, baths, etc. and by simply clicking a different property type “Smart Tab” you get other property types in that monthly payment price range; all of the other search criteria is still the same. “We had to make it simple to use. We really want people to find their next home with us. In fact, our revenue model was created so that we have to be better than anyone else or we don’t make money”, says Massey, They don’t make money because the site is free for searching and for listing property until a transaction is completed. “That is the way it should be ... technology should help people.”

A wave of change, known in technology circles as Web2.0, is finally reaching the Real Estate industry and Charlotte can be proud that HomeCharlotte is leading the way. To learn more or find your next home visit www.HomeCharlotte.com or search homecharlotte.com from any major search engine today.

Intelligent Skin Care and Beauty News and Advice

SkinCare-News.com Celebrates One Year Anniversary of Providing Intelligent Skin Care and Beauty News and Advice

 

Sacramento, CA, July 25, 2006 --(PR.COM)-- Online skin care and beauty magazine SkinCare-News.com celebrates its one year anniversary of providing intelligent skin care and beauty news, advice, tips and articles to its readers.

 

Launched on June 30, 2005, SkinCare-News.com provides visitors with detailed articles on current and pressing skin care and beauty related topics including acne, waxing, Botox, mouth grills, tanning, teenagers and make up, fashion faux pas and keeping skin-biting pests away while camping.

 

In addition to providing skin care and beauty related articles, SkinCare-News.com features skincare and beauty related news, including skin care events, procedures, treatments and breakthroughs.

 

Definitions of common skincare procedures, disorders and conditions, as well as frequently asked questions on various subjects such as bikinis, moles and sunscreen, can also be found on the web site.

 

SkinCare-News.com can be found on the web at http://www.skincare-news.com.

 

The following are the samples of subjects that are discussed in the magazine:

 

From “It’s Just One of Them Days: PMDD vs. PMS"
http://www.skincare-news.com/articles.php?ArtID=100

 

It’s "that time of the month" and you’re more than likely accustomed to preparing yourself for bouts of cramping, being bloated and irritated for no reason at all. Your husband or boyfriend may even crack his occasional jokes about your "condition." Well, if you’re in the 3-5% of women who suffer from Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder, or PMDD, the subject is anything but a laughing matter.

 

From “Healthy Skin, Happy Mom Pt. II: Life After Baby, Now What?!”
http://www.skincare-news.com/articles.php?ArtID=97

 

If you thought having your baby was going to solve all of your problems with skin care and allow you to go back to your daily regimen, you are greatly mistaken. First-time mothers I’ve got bad news for you: skin care during your pregnancy was just the tip of the iceberg, as new mother’s have even more work to do to maintain their skin.

 

From ”Healthy Skin, Happy Mom: Pregnant Women and Skin Care”
http://www.skincare-news.com/articles.php?ArtID=95

 

First there’s the morning sickness. Next it’s weird food cravings, followed by mood swings, swollen feet and legs and then frequent trips to the bathroom. Being with child takes a toll on any female’s body and the nine-month process isn’t all smiles and good times. The last thing an expectant mother wants to worry about is her skin. According to dermatologist, Andrea Lynn Cambio, M.D., of New York City, psychosocial stressors, such as hormonal changes, sleep deprivation, dietary changes and the new responsibility of caring for a baby, can have a significant effect on a mother’s skin. That being said, there are ways expectant mothers can prepare and maintain their skin for a truly healthy, glowing look.

E-Book that Will Earn You 100k

World's 1st E-Book that Will Earn You 100k without Spending 1 More Cent - Unveiled

 

World's 1st and only E-Book that earns a 100k without spending 1 more cent is unveiled. The only E-book said to lay the foundation and afford individuals to an invitation to join a marketing group that will train individuals through the process without them spending no more money when plan is followed.

 

Salida, CA, July 01, 2006 --(PR.COM)-- It's not a money game, or a get-rich-quick scheme. In fact, the concepts and methods utilized here are actually unique and truly amazing. In a network, marketing, and sales industry riddled with smoke screens and hype, it is virtually impossible to determine who is real and who's fake. According to business critics, 90% of online/offline business start-ups and maintenance are either to pricey, or may be priced to low so you get what you pay for, and lastly, the unsuspecting victims will probably be the best customers disguised as affiliates, representatives or business owners. With MLM, Network Marketing and all the issues that come along with business building such as list building, sales, marketing, recruiting and the likes most people lose momentum before they really get started. More and more money going in and not enough coming out can be a real bummer.

 

This is why Plan4Power and the E-book "The Internet Primer" were born, to change the way businesses are built along with paving the way for setting leading industry standards. Whether interested individuals have a business or not it can be easily added to their current mix. A real solution to the age old problem of running a business all with NO hype, NO selling, NO telling, and NO more out-of-pocket expenses. Sound impossible? Well, maybe not. Plan4Power is a marketing group, not a company and does not directly represent any outside company, product or service. Plan4Power represents and is loyal to its group members and its only product, which is the E-book "The Internet Primer". This E-book is said to be the Gateway not only to lay the foundation of earning a six-figure income through multiple streams and leveraging but also provides a wealth of knowledge. Along with the E-book comes many perks, and personal invitation to join the Plan4Power Marketing Group that will fully support and show its members how to achieve this all with no additional expenses and no risk.

 

Co-Founder of Plan4Power, Bruce Grone raves the E-book and stated The Plan4Power Group is the Mobile, Agile, Group with an Attitude.

 

The E-book is only $25 and now available at http://YourPlan4Power.org

 

So, basically it is up to "The Public" to decide. Could this be the best thing ever heard of in the marketing today? Is this the only book on the planet available to buy that not only lays a foundation, but also affords the opportunity to do so without having to invest one more penny? Hey, if it is everyone should know about it.

Bloody Christian Thorn Cap Causes Pain, Embarrassment, Laughter

New Christian Head Wear Sweeping U.S.

 

Preacher’s Kid Apparel (PKA), unveiled the “The Official Cap Of Christians,” during the recent Azusa Christian Conference, has taken-off and is sweeping U.S. churches, religious groups and Christians.

 

Los Angeles, CA, June 30, 2006 --(PR.COM)-- Preacher’s Kid Apparel (PKA), unveiled the “The Official Cap Of Christians”, during the recent Azusa Christian Conference, has taken-off and is sweeping U.S. churches, religious groups and Christians.

 

At first glance, the Cap Of Thorns is without question a new and refreshing headwear accessory for Christians. Many are amazed of the subliminal message it projects, and the impact it makes when worn. It’s been dubbed, The Official Cap of Christians because, unlike other religious head garment’s, it can be worn by: men, women and children. What makes the Cap Of Thorns so unique are the detailed 2-D embroidered thorns and hints of blood drippings, that go continuously around the base of a custom fitted baseball cap, which are made of a cool and lightweight polyester mesh fabric.

 

Preacher’s Kid Apparel, CEO, Mark Hill says the idea to create the caps was given to him by God, after he accepted God’s call to move back to his home church in Cleveland, Ohio, where he grew up as a Preacher’s Kid, to continue where his grandparents left off - spreading the word about Jesus Christ.
Hill states: “When God gave me the task to design it (Cap Of Thorns), I couldn’t believe it and I didn’t know where to begin. After doing some research, I’d learned the technique and the design had never been done before, but I had faith and knew that it was part of the commandment that God wanted me to undertake. I know when God commands you to do something, and gives you a vision, like the Cap Of Thorns -- you obey”.

 

During the Azusa Christian Conference, Hill stated “there were attendees from over 100 countries, who knew right away the Cap Of Thorns were a gift from God”. Hill adds, “the Cap Of Thorns takes a lot of faith to wear, and it will test your faith in Jesus Christ. When you wear the Cap Of Thorns, it supports your belief and will actually make you rethink the WWJD question, when you’re faced with everyday life situations.”

 

Single cap purchases are currently available at amazon.com, while bulk purchases for reseller’s and Churches are available via their website by emailing sales@preacherskidapparel.com. Hill adds, “We are eager to work with Church Organizations to develop custom fundraising programs”. Currently national distribution channels are being set-up, with desires to develop global distribution networks in early 2007.

 

Preacher’s Kid Apparel is also seeking donations and sponsorship support to continue its mission to spread the word of Jesus Christ, and develop a variety cap styles and fabrics.

 

For inquires, please email mhill@preacherskidapparel.com. http://www.preacherskidapparel.com

Research Identifies Retirement Firm Web Sites

 

Retirement Outlook? Bad. Can the Web Help?

New Research Identifies Which Retirement Firm Web Sites Are Making Retirement Planning and Saving Easier.

New York, NY (PRWEB) July 12, 2006 -- Most Americans are woefully behind on their retirement savings. In theory, the web should offer some hope. The web should allow people to become better informed about retirement planning. The web should make it easy to get started with the right kind of retirement account, thus making saving easier. Unfortunately, the web sites of most firms offering retirement solutions make learning about retirement options much harder than it needs to be.

According to new research released today by Change Sciences Group, more than 50% of sites offering retirement solutions make it hard to find the retirement section of the site, let alone make use of it. For people that make it to the retirement section of the site, about half of the sites do not provide the most basic information about retirement fundamentals, such as finding clear, easy to read definitions of account types, or getting a clear definition of "tax deferral".

What about Full Service?

Most full service brokerages, while sometimes providing helpful content, make it extremely difficult to set up an account, forcing people who may just want to roll over funds to request a printed form, fill it out and fax it back. Most banks don't do much better.

To jump to report details visit:
http://changesciences.com/cgi-bin/reports.html

"Most sites are either cluttered up with too much content that's not written for the web, or too Spartan to be of any use," said Steve Ellis, a Change Sciences partner. "For brokerages, full service or discount, not having a meaningful retirement web strategy simply turns away a wide range of prospects."

There are some bright spots. A handful of sites have taken significant steps toward making their retirement sites easy to use and informative. The best site is more than three and a half times better than the worse site, and more than two times better than the average site. The three best retirement sites overall are:
1. Vanguard
2. Wells Fargo
3. TD Ameritrade

Other sites covered in the report include: A.G. Edwards, AIG SunAmerica, AIG VALIC, American Century, Ameriprise, AXA Advisors, Bank of America, Charles Schwab, Chase, Citibank, E*Trade, Edward Jones, Fidelity, Key Bank, Marshall & Ilsley, Merrill Lynch, MetLife, Morgan Stanley, National City, Piper Jaffray, PNC Investments, Prudential, Scottrade, Smith Barney, SunTrust, T. Rowe Price, TD Ameritrade, TIAA-CREF, US Bank, Vanguard, Wachovia, WaMu Financial, Washington Mutual, Wells Fargo Advantage Funds, and Wells Fargo.

For a detailed research overview including more findings, sample data, the report table of contents, and the complete ranking of all 35 sites visit:

Change Sciences was founded in January 2000 to help companies improve online business by basing decisions on how people use technology while they live, work, and play.

7 Habits of Highly Effective Verteran Home Owners

LowVARates.com Unveils 7 Habits of Highly Effective Verteran Home Owners

LowVARates set out with a goal to show future and prospective veteran homebuyers how to effectively manage themselves prior to applying for a VA loan.

Provo, UT, July 12, 2006 --(PR.COM)-- LowVARates has worked with Veteran Home Owners for many years. LowVARates has found that many future or prospective home owners, whom are in the process of looking for a home, don't quite understand how important it is to prepare themselves for owning a home.

Getting approved for a VA mortgage should be very simple, however  most veterans don't understand the basic rules and or principles that could guarantee them a much better chance of getting approved.

Here is a compilation of the 7 most influencial and important traits of a GOOD VA borrowers and home owners.

7 Habits of Highly Effective Veteran Home Owners!

1.  Make on time payments. For a full 12 months prior to buying a home make every single payment you have on your consumer credit ON TIME! A VA mortgage does not require a high FICO credit score, as a matter of fact you can get a VA loan with no FICO score at all. However, the VA does require that you show a full year's worth of on-time payments. Think about it, if you can't make a cell phone payment on time, what are the chances of making your mortage payment on time?

2.  Don't carry a high balance to available credit. It is very bad looking if you carry high balances on your credit cards or other debts. Assume you have a credit card with a maximum credit limit of $3,000. However, if you are showing a monthly balance of $2,800, then this will hurt your credit worthiness. VA mortgage companies want to see that you have been granted credit by others, because this shows you are capable of borrowing money and paying it back, however if you are always carrying around a large balance then you appear to live to the maximum and thus again you are labeled a bit more risky.

3.  Don't close your credit cards/lines. A very misunderstood fact about loans in general is that a home owner will appear better if they pay off all their debts prior to applying for a VA mortgage. This is completely untrue. Banks/lenders want to see that you are able to receive credit from others and that you can control that credit. If you close all your accounts it appears as though something bad has happened and you had to get rid of all your debt. This act alone can greatly damage your credit. Use your credit cards, but use them wisely. It is recommended to charge them up a little then to pay them off each month.

4.  Keep a stable job. It is very important that you are not jumping from job to job especially if your jobs have nothing in common. I basic principle in getting into a VA mortgage is to prove to the Lender that you are not RISKY and if you are going from car mechanic to insurance agent, then you appear as though you are still not sure about your career choice and essentially make yourself appear as a risk.

5.  Apply early for your Certificate of Eligibility (COE). You can download the form right from our website by going to our links section. If you are already working with a preferred VA mortgage company assigned to you by LowVARates then there is a chance they have ordered you one offline via ACE. It is imprtant to understand that even if you are approved for a VA loan, that without your COE form you cannot get a VA loan. Your COE is the VA's was of proving to the lender that you have served sufficient time in the military and are eligible for a VA loan.

6.  Work with a Real Estate agent. Many people think that it is a waste of money to work with a Realtor because of the fees involved. It is important to realize that only the seller pays the real estate commissions and that the veteran buyer does not pay the real estate commissions. We suggest using an agent because it will make negotiating a good price and getting the seller to pay some or all of your closing costs much easier. Buying a home with a VA loan can seem difficult at times but a good mortgage company like our preferred partners and a good real estate agent can make the process much more simple.

7.  Work with a preferred partner or preferred lender from within our network. Perhaps the biggest key to succesfully buying a home with a VA loan or refinancing your current VA loan is to use a mortgage company that fully understands VA loans. Working with a preferred lending partner of LowVARates will ensure you that your va loan process will flow smoothly from start to finish.

LowVARates.com is proud to be filling a void in the online mortgage information industry.  They feel that too many veteran home buyers are forced or coerced into NON VA loans and if they had worked with a more qualified VA lender or been more educated themselves on VA loan products, that these veteran home owners would be in a better loan today.  It is their goal to bring VA home loan approval to more veterans than has ever been done before.

Free Drug Plan Offers Savings of 20%

 

Free Drug Plan Offers an Average Savings of 20% to Americans

The free card from www.YourRxCard.com can save the average American.

(PRWEB) July 12, 2006 -- According to The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, even Americans covered under Medicare’s new program will face an average out-of-pocket prescription drug expense of $970 in 2006. On top of that, it’s estimated that 25-26 million Americans have no drug coverage at all, according to Rex Bowden, who serves as President for www.YourRxCard.com. The site is offering all Americans a free prescription drug card that can be used on all prescription drugs, including those not covered by Medicare or a patient’s insurance company, with an average discount of 20% and some discounts up to 75%.

NAMWOLF Lauds Aetna, Inc. for Supplier Diversity Initiatives

The National Association of Minority and Women Owned Law Firms (NAMWOLF) lauds Aetna, Inc. after announcing last month a $50 million commitment to support the growth of minority and women-owned businesses over the next four years.

HARTFORD, CT (PRWEB) July 12, 2006 -– The National Association of Minority and Women Owned Law Firms (NAMWOLF) lauds Aetna, Inc. after announcing last month a $50 million commitment to support the growth of minority and women-owned businesses over the next four years.

The announcement occurred coincidentally with Black Enterprise selecting Aetna from more than 1,000 of the country’s largest publicly traded companies, and more than 50 global companies to its list of “Best Companies for Diversity.”

“Aetna has taken an important stance on the diversity issue,” said Yolanda Coly, Associate Director of NAMWOLF. “This substantial commitment to diversity continues to demonstrate the company’s dedication to being one of the nation’s best companies for diversity,” she added.

According to Raymond Arroyo, head of Diversity at Aetna, they hope to have 10 percent of all direct purchases from minority and women-owned businesses in 2006.

Best Web Site for Food

 

Leite’s Culinaria is First Web Site to Win the James Beard Award

Leite’s Culinaria (www.leitesculinaria.com) won the 2006 James Beard Award for Best Web Site for Food, which was given out at the 16th Annual James Beard Foundation Journalism Awards on May 7th. This is first time the foundation has included a Web site in its roster of nomination categories.

(PRWEB) May 12, 2006 -- On Sunday, May 7th, Leite’s Culinaria (www.leitesculinaria.com) won the 2006 James Beard Award for Best Web Site for Food, which was given out at the 16th Annual James Beard Foundation Journalism Awards held at the Grand Hyatt in New York City. This is first time the foundation has included a Web site in its roster of nomination categories. Other Web site nominees were epicurious.com, a CondeNast company, and alicefeiring.com, an independent blog devoted to wine.

David Leite, publisher and editor-in-chief, and Linda Avery, food editor, were present to accept the award. “It’s quite an honor,” says Avery. “All of our editors, recipe testers, and writers have worked tremendously hard, and we’re all very appreciative.”

Leite’s Culinaria began in 1999, a time when the Internet had few quality food sites. Leite, a freelance food writer, wanted to create a cyber-portfolio that editors could visit in order to read his work. In no time, he began receiving e-mails from readers who found their way to the site based upon its content, which, at the time, dealt mostly with Portuguese cooking.

“Frankly, I was shocked when people found me,” says Leite of those early years. “I had no idea that search engines spidered Web sites. I was planning to using it as a destination for editors, not for the general public.” Within the year, Leite added other content, including recipes, resources, and columns. In 2000, Gary Allen, author of the "Resource Guide for Food Writers" (Routledge, 1999) and the upcoming "The Herbalist in the Kitchen" (University of Illinois Press) was tapped as food history editor.

Avery joined the site in 2003 as one of a dozen recipe testers. She quickly became recipe-testing coordinator and grew the section to almost 200 members. In 2004, she became food editor, and her responsibilities increased to include planning each month’s issue with Leite as well as determining which books and recipes to highlight.

Leite writes for the site and edits the work of contributing writers, a group which now encompasses established and up-and-coming writers. The combination of editors, writers, and the site’s various offerings attracts approximately 1.3 million readers a year. To encourage new writers, Leite established The Leite's Culinaria Scholarship for Narrative Food Writing to the Symposium for Professional Food Writers at The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, WV. The first winner was Ana Schwartzman, whose work will appear on the site later in the year.

In addition to the winning the James Beard Award, Leite’s Culinaria won the 2005 World Food Media Award for Best Food and/or Drink Web Site, the 2002 Best Writer’s Web Site award from "Writer’s Digest Magazine," and was a finalist in the 2006 Gourmet Voice Awards. Also, work from the site has been included in the "Best Food Writing" series (Marlowe).

Estate Planning For The Intangibles

 

Modern Day Estate Planning For The Intangibles

Ronald E. Hudkins, U.S.Army, SFC, Military Police Corps. (Retired) and President of American Industry Maintenance (AIM), LLC at AssetProtectNow.com address the importance of intangible digital assets in ones modern day estate planning considerations.

Denver, CO (PRWEB) May 25, 2006 - Every state has statutes and mechanisms in place that deal with disposal of tangible assets whether the deceased had a will or not. According to Ronald Hudkins, a leading expert in the field, families might fight over who gets the house, the cars, the stocks and the cash, but there is generally no question about where such property is located. Ronald Hudkins of AssetProtectNow.com offers advice on the subject.

“On the other hand, Hudkins said, many of the questions surrounding intangible digital assets are just beginning to be asked, much less answered. Estate planning in the information age raises a whole new set of issues that just didn’t exist even as few as ten years ago.”

“When a person dies, for example, who inherits the computer files, the web pages, blogs and emails? More complicated yet, how are online bank accounts, stock holdings that exist entirely in digital media, or the rights to an exclusively online business to be handled? The proliferation of online businesses and the world’s propensity for doing paperless business means that digital holdings very often have considerable monetary value. What if nobody knows your passwords or your various usernames? Do your digital assets just disappear into the ether? Can your online business be seized and sold to pay your creditors? These are important matters to consider in our modern times,” Hudkins said.

Hudkins further stated, “The dynamic nature of Internet transactions makes their inclusion in a will eminently impractical. User names and passwords change, new businesses are created, new stocks are e-traded, and new email accounts come into being. Changing a will, or adding a codicil, every time your online dealings change is not at all feasible.”

He likewise advised, “Even though the law governing digital assets is unclear, largely because it hasn’t yet been written, there are ways to protect those assets and make sure your heirs are able to locate and use them.”

“First, keep a master list of all your online dealings, complete with urls, user names and passwords,” Hudkins said. “The list should include items like domain names, where they are registered, and when they need to be renewed to keep the business name and Internet location. Put this particular information on paper, update it every time something new is added or something old deleted, and keep it in a safe place with your other important business papers, preferably in a safety container.”

Hudkins also advised, “Make sure your attorney or your estate executor is aware of the list, even if you don’t want it opened until after your death. Instruct your executor or attorney as to when the list is to become available to your heirs – for example in the case of serious illness in the event that someone needs to take care of online business transactions in your stead. Such instructions may or may not be legally binding, but chances are your instructions will be followed, as a matter of moral obligation.”

“If you have a prosperous online business, online bank accounts, e-trade accounts, or other valuable digital assets, those need to be figured into your estate planning,” Hudkins said. “Otherwise, your heirs may be stuck with a messy situation and many unexpected expenses, or even legal challenges to deal with – problems that your estate planning was initially designed to protect against.”

About Ronald E. Hudkins;
Ronald Hudkins is a retired U.S. Army Military Police member that was assigned as a staff researcher.     He has coordinated with military and criminal investigators, set on court marshals and worked closely with the Staff Judge Advocate Generals Office (JAG). He has a keen sense of legal matters - their interpretation, initiatives and guidelines.     For imperative financial planning needs he suggests his book “Asset Protection and Estate Planning for All Ages.” He offers a Free Newsletter at his web site: http://www.AssetProtectNow.com. The site includes an article directory for edification and has recently established a new Forum for consumer discussions, debates and concerns.

High Court Hits Hooters Hopes Hard

 

Hooters Hopes for a Favorable Appeal Shot Down by Florida Lawyer Defending Rival Chain Ker’s Winghouse

Florida Litigation Attorney Don Conwell Successfully Defends Hooters Rival Ker’s Winghouse in Lawsuit Appeal filed by the Hooters Restaurant Chain.

Tampa, Florida (PRWEB) June 20, 2006 -- Ker’s Winghouse, a fast growing restaurant chain founded by former NFL Dallas Cowboys football star, Crawford Ker, defeated Hooters’ trade dress infringement lawsuit appeal last week, winning more than one million dollars in counterclaim damages against the prominent restaurant chain (In the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit D.C Docket Number: 03-00116-CV-ORL-22-JGG).

Hooters’ appeal repeated allegations made by Hooters in its failed lawsuit against Ker’s Winghouse in the United States District Court that Ker’s Winghouse—whose female wait staff also wear short shorts and tank tops —unfairly copied proprietary elements from the “Hooters Girl” and from Hooters restaurant décor.    

The decision by United States Circuit Court Judge Rosemary Barkett rejected Hooters’ appeal, stating “Hooters’ trade dress infringement and dilution claims fail as a matter of law.”

Ker’s Winghouse was represented in both the trial and appellate courts by Florida litigation lawyer Don Conwell of Conwell, Sukhia and Kirkpatrick, which partnered with the Tampa based law firm of Fowler White Boggs Banker to successfully defend Ker’s Winghouse.     The appellate court’s written opinion affirming the judgment for Ker’s Winghouse in the trial court came quickly, only seven days after Conwell argued the appeal before the appellate court panel of judges.

“This is a great day for our client, which can now continue its head to head competition with Hooters in the market place, free of the threat of oppressive litigation,” said attorney for Ker’s Winghouse, Don Conwell.

The litigation by Hooters against Ker’s Winghouse has been in the courts for several years. The case was tried in federal court in Orlando, Florida in November, 2004. In December, 2004, United States District Court Judge Anne Conway rejected Hooters’ trade dress infringement lawsuit claims and awarded $1.2 million in counterclaim damages to Ker’s Winghouse on a jury verdict in favor of Ker. Judge Conway adopted the arguments of Florida attorney Don Conwell that Hooters did not have protectable trade dress and that the trade dress of Ker’s Winghouse was not likely to confuse consumers.

After that verdict, Conwell stated, “The directed verdict and jury award completely vindicate Winghouse’s position that Hooters was using its wealth and muscle in the courts to try to unfairly exclude legitimate competition.”

The lawsuit has been considered a significant case in intellectual property litigation and has received national televised attention with coverage on MSNBC and numerous other local and national press outlets.

How Much Does A Prescription Drug Card Help?

 

Free Prescription Drug Card Helps with High Prescription Drug Costs in the U.S.

The Free Prescription Drug Card from www.YourRxCard.com is like a “Coupon” for Medicines. Take control of your high prescription drug costs.

(PRWEB) June 20, 2006 -- The cost of brand name prescription drugs keeps rising in the US. According the AARP, brand name prescription drugs continued to rise last year at an average rate greater than inflation. Last month, a new free prescription drug card became available to all Americans through www.YourRxCard.com to aid them in covering their prescription drug costs. In addition to instant activation, the free prescription drug card has no deductibles, waiting periods, or pre-existing exclusions.

In 2005, the AARP reports that the manufacturers’ price of brand name prescription drugs rose at an average rate of 6.0%, whereas the national inflation was only 3.4%, nearly half of the drug price increase rate. The organization’s report, which was based on a sample of 193 brand name drugs, showed that 2005 was the sixth year in a row that prescription drug manufacturers raised their prices to wholesalers and other purchasers at a rate that was disproportionate to inflation.

With prescription drug prices continually rising, and many older Americans still without insurance, the free prescription drug card offered by www.YourRxCard.com can provide them with discounted rates. The card can be used in pharmacies similarly to how a coupon is used, except that it can be re-used time and time again to help Americans cover all of their prescription drug costs.

The free prescription drug card can be obtained instantly at www.YourRxCard.com from any computer with access to a printer, and it can be used right away. High prescription drug costs no longer have to come between Americans and the medicines they need.

About www.YourRxCard.com

Prescription Drug Plan Helps Cover Birth Control Costs

 

Free Prescription Drug Plan Helps Cover Birth Control Costs When Insurance Won’t

The Card from www.YourRxCard.com can Offset the Cost of Prescription Birth Control.

(PRWEB) June 26, 2006 -- Many American women are still faced with paying for the cost of prescription birth control out of their own pockets, because their insurance companies don’t cover the drugs. The new free prescription drug card available through www.YourRxCard.com helps these women by offering a discount on prescription birth control in the same method as their discounts on any other prescription drugs. The free card can also be used with insurance plans to help the patient receive the lowest prescription drug cost possible.

Cover My Pills, sponsored by Planned Parenthood’s Fair Access to Contraception (FAC) project, states that nearly 70% of American women in their childbearing years (“age 15-44 on average”), are sexually active and do not wish to become pregnant at the current time. The organization also shares that 95% of women in the US use some kind of contraception during their lifetime, and more than half of those women use prescription birth control.

Yet, even with the high demand by American women for prescription birth control, Cover My Pills reports that “as of February 2006, [only 23 states require insurers that cover prescription drugs in general to provide coverage of the full range of FDA-approved contraceptive drugs and devices.” While the number of insurance companies covering prescription birth control drugs has improved in recent years, this demonstrates the fact that coverage is still a problem for women in many areas. The free prescription drug card from www.YourRxCard.com aims to serve as a simple solution to this complex and debated problem.

The free prescription drug card can be obtained instantly at www.YourRxCard.com from any computer with access to a printer, and it can be used right away.

Personal Injury Victims Clueless Concerning Claims

 

Many Personal Injury Victims Don’t Know What Their Claims are Worth or Even Whether They Have Valid Claims — Free Resources at Total Injury Can Help

Many personal injury victims are confused by conflicting information in the media, stories from friends and family, and the differences in personal injury law from state to state. Total Injury at www.totalinjury.com provides resources to help personal injury victims understand their rights, find important information like statutes of limitations, and arrange free consultations with personal injury lawyers in their area. Now, Total Injury is also collecting verdict and settlement information from around the country so that personal injury victims can gain insight into how cases similar to their own are being decided.

(PRWEB) June 28, 2006 -- Most personal injury victims are facing once-in-a-lifetime circumstances, and so aren’t familiar with personal injury law, the insurance claims process, case valuation, statutes of limitations, and all of the other important but technical information that factors into the viability and valuation of a personal injury case.

The issues become even more complicated because laws and procedures vary from state to state, so even accurate information a personal injury victim has heard from a relative or seen on the news may be misleading. Total Injury strives to provide accurate, easy-to-understand information to help personal injury victims understand their rights and options, and to connect them with local personal injury attorneys who provide free consultations.

On the Total Injury website, personal injury victims can learn about the typical steps in a personal injury case. At the same time, most will be relieved to discover that the vast majority of personal injury claims settle before trial.

Finally, since most personal injury victims are concerned about the value of their claims, Total Injury provides a resource explaining the factors that play into the valuation of a personal injury claim, and a round-up of personal injury verdicts from news sources across the country.

These brief descriptions of injuries, settlements and verdicts from numerous states illustrate the range of cases personal injury lawyers handle. Recent verdicts truly cover the spectrum, from a $25,000 award to a mail carrier bitten by a dog to a $26.8 million dollar verdict in favor of a woman injured in a collision with a police car. Personal injury victims can read about cases similar to their own: car accidents, slip and fall injuries, bicycle injuries, workplace mishaps, and more.

Chat Logger Software Catches Predators, Family, and Friends

 

Catch a Predator with Chat Logger Software

Private investigation resource site urges parents to be aware of their child's activity online.

(PRWEB) June 28, 2006 -- With recent headlines and news shows featuring stories about catching online predators in chat rooms, online private investigation resource Spy Tools Directory urges parents to consider looking into chat logger software (http://www.spy-tools-directory.com/spy-software/chat-logger-software.html) as a means to keep tabs on their child's activity online.

"These online predators are out there, as we've all seen on these news shows," said Steve Salm, lead editor for the directory. "Kids are online talking to them, and in some cases, arranging to meet with them. For a parent who has no clue what's going on, it's a terrifying scenario."

One of the best ways for parents to make sure a child is not in danger is to keep tabs on them by installing chat logger software on all the computers used. Chat logger software is a hidden program that runs completely undetected by the user, yet records every single keystroke typed into the computer and every incoming message received as a chat log file. The chat logs can then be retrieved by the parent for review to find out if they suspect their child is communicating with one of these online predators.

"These types of programs are the same ones used on the news shows you've been seeing," continued Salm.

Cancer Commission Approves Cancer Program

Bobbi Lewis Cancer Program at Good Samaritan Hospital Receives Approval and Commendation from Commission on Cancer

The Bobbi Lewis Cancer Program at Good Samaritan Hospital in Suffern, New York has received both approval and a commendation from the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons.

Suffern, N.Y. (PRWEB) June 30, 2006 -- The Bobbi Lewis Cancer Program at Good Samaritan Hospital in Suffern, New York has received both approval and a commendation from the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons. The three-year approval is given to oncology programs that comply with the CoC’s 36 standards of care and are noted for their high quality cancer care. Only one in four hospitals that treat cancer receives this special honor.

According to the organization, receiving care at a Commission on Cancer approved cancer program ensures patients quality care close to home, state-of-the-art services and equipment, ongoing education and support and a team that ensures the best treatment options available. The Bobbi Lewis Cancer Program is staffed by a multi-disciplinary team of medical oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, and surgeons, offering cancer patients and their families many diverse support and treatment services.

“We are extremely proud of this commendation,” said Sushil Bhardwaj, M.D., Director of the Bobbi Lewis Cancer Program at Good Samaritan Hospital. “The Bobbi Lewis Cancer Program is designed to give cancer patients not only quality, but also compassionate, care. Being acknowledged for our advanced services, team approach and patient care is of utmost honor.”

Established by the American College of Surgeons in 1922, the multi-disciplinary Commission on Cancer sets standards for quality multidisciplinary cancer care delivered primarily in hospital settings; surveys hospitals to assess compliance with those standards; collects standardized and quality data from approved hospitals to measure treatment patterns and outcomes; and uses the data to evaluate hospital provider performance and develop effective educational interventions to improve cancer care outcomes at the national and local level.

Matching Certified Insured Contractors with Home Owners, Realtors

noababoa is a web-based service that connects certified, insured handymen, contractors, painters, movers and other service providers to property managers, home owners, realtors and others seeking these services.

Mountain View, CA (PRWEB) July 8, 2006 -- noababoa launched a new web-based service (www.noababoa.com) in the San Francisco/Silicon Valley area that addresses a market need: It connects certified, insured handymen, contractors, painters, movers and other service providers to property managers, home owners, realtors and others seeking these services.

The initial reaction might be: "So what? Don’t we have Craigslist and Angie’s List?" The key difference in noababoa is that service providers are licensed and ensured, providing greater protection to the consumer and that it works with a more effective rating system for contractors and consumers (after every auction has ended). So-called “reviews” from homeowners from other sites can often be skewed or bogus. Also, noababoa's service works as an auction, a little like ebay, except that in this case the best bid among contractors wins.

This type of service has been a success in countries like Germany, and will be here. As noababoa is still working to get the service off the ground, we’d love to talk to anybody about it if interested. Please goto www.noababoa.com to find contact information or call (415) 508 3761.

PureNight Sleep Air Purifier Created By Halo

 Halo Creates Air-Filtering Device

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

by Mark Reilly

Staff Writer

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

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

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

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

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

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

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