This Cocktail Removes Headaches and Hangovers

This Cocktail Removes Headaches and Hangovers

Creating a unique cocktail for spyware removal, LogiGuard now offers another powerful and easy-to-use tool for protection in the battle for your privacy on the internet, the SpyPry anti-spyware cocktail mix.

(PRWEB) June 5, 2005

Most internet users are now quite familiar with Spyware and the nasty implications from being infected and the potential for some huge headaches that Spyware can cause. Just as its name implies, the user is “spied on.” The “spies” target user shopping patterns, websites visited and even gather information that could lead to identity theft. So what's new? LogiGuard now offers another powerful and easy-to-use tool for protection in the battle for your privacy on the internet (see logiguard. com for details).

LogiGuard is pleased to announce the spyware removal program, SpyPry, as the newest tool to use in the fight against Spyware. Offering tools for internet security is LogiGuard's main objective and market responsibility. LogiGuard's SpyPry is perhaps one of the web's most aggressive tactics for picking up traces of RATs (Remote Access Trojans). RATs are system applications that give a hacker a measure of control over your PC, as if the hacker was at your keyboard. However, not all RATs are malicious. Gotomypc. com and many other such legitimate sites offer applications which will allow remote access to one's work computer while away from the office. Spyware removal programs may highlight this item to be removed. Those using SpyPry software will need to be cautious when identifying threats to be removed after scanning results are completed. SpyPry's unique algorithm is extremely powerful. From the registry to the remote regions of the disk, users will appreciate the sensitivity of the SpyPry package.

Additionally, the LogiGuard team promotes the concept of spyware removal cooperation. That is, no single spyware program can possibly remove all Spyware (avoid any product marketed as such). Since Spyware is continually customized and engineered quite differently than any other Malware, Spyware often passes virus scanners as harmless or even welcomed guests mistaken for search tools, cute icons, cool screensavers and a myriad of other fun but potentially damaging applications. So it is up to those in the security industry, the users, and the technical reviewers to contribute to the database of known spyware applications to create a larger directory and more anti-spyware tools than the spyware designers themselves. Indeed, it is a vicious internet battle for your safety and your privacy.

A good mix of anti-spyware programs should be grouped together and applied at alternate times, indeed creating a unique cocktail for spyware removal. For a powerful mix of software to assist you with your spyware removal needs, may LogiGuard suggests the following: 1/3 part Microsoft Beta AntiSpy (formerly Giant Antispy), 1/3 part SpyBot and of course a healthy splash of SpyPry. Shaken, not stirred... to be sure. And the best part, as these are all freeware programs, this drink is on the house (though tips and donations are always appreciated).

VIRGINIA INDIAN TRIBES PRAISE MORAN AND DAVIS FOR BIPARTISAN EFFORT

VIRGINIA INDIAN TRIBES PRAISE MORAN AND DAVIS FOR BIPARTISAN EFFORT

Virginia Indian tribes today lauded the efforts of Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) and Rep. Jo Ann Davis (R-VA) who have introduced a bill to grant Federal recognition for the Indian tribes present in Virginia at the time that Jamestown was first settled. Included in the recognition bill are the Chickahominy Tribe, the Chickahominy Tribe - Eastern Division, the Upper Mattaponi Tribe, the Nansemonds Tribe, Rappahannock Tribe and the Monacan Nation.

VIRGINIA INDIAN TRIBES PRAISE MORAN AND DAVIS FOR BIPARTISAN EFFORT

 Washington, DC (July 2, 2001) - Virginia Indian tribes today lauded

The efforts of Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) and Rep. Jo Ann Davis (R-VA) who have

Introduced a bill to grant Federal recognition for the Indian tribes present in

Virginia at the time that Jamestown was first settled. Included in the recognition

Bill are the Chickahominy Tribe, the Chickahominy Tribe - Eastern Division, the

Upper Mattaponi Tribe, the Nansemonds Tribe, Rappahannock Tribe and the

Monacan Nation.

The bill is being co-sponsored by others in the Virginia delegation, including

Tom Davis (R), Edward Schrock (R), Bobby Scott (D) and Rick Boucher (D).

In 1999, the Virginia Assembly overwhelmingly passed a resolution favoring

Federal recognition of the Tribes and urging Congress to enact legislation to

Accomplish that goal. This bill, known as the Thomasina E. Jordon Indian

Recognition Act of 2001, is being introduced by Moran today.

"All of our tribes have already been granted state recognition" said Chief

Barry Bass of the Nansemond Tribe. "Federal legislation is the next logical

Step in preserving our culture and of honoring the legal rights afforded us in

Treaties signed by this country's first governments."

Once the subjects of decades of discrimination, Virginia Indians are hopeful

That Federal recognition will open new doors of opportunity. Of utmost

Importance to the Tribes will be the opportunity afforded them to apply for

Education grants and to receive better health care.

"These tribes have waited almost four centuries for this country to honor their

Right to be recognized as an indigenous people," said Helen Rountree,

Professor emeritus of anthropology at Old Dominion University and author of

Many books and articles on the Virginia Indian tribes. "With the approaching

Festival commemorating the founding of Jamestown, Federal recognition of

These tribes would be a significant contribution to that commemoration."

Virginia's Governor Gilmore has just released (June 7, 2001) $3.3 Million of the

State's budget to the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation to support efforts toward

The 400 year commemoration of Jamestown to be held in 2007.

Web Positioning Made the Difference--Physician Recruiting Firm Enhances On-line Gateway to Physician Jobs

Web Positioning Made the Difference--Physician Recruiting Firm Enhances On-line Gateway to Physician Jobs

LocumTenens. com today introduced a new version of its free on-line physician job board. The full-service, niche physician recruiting firm's counter-intuitive Web strategy has helped the company grow revenue 600% over the past five years.

Alpharetta, GA (PRWEB) April 5, 2006

What happens when a niche physician recruiting firm positions itself on the Web as a free meeting place for all kinds of physicians and physician jobs? A pretty amazing business success story, if you ask the owners of LocumTenens. com, which today introduced its new physician job board and corporate Web site (http://www. locumtenens. com/launchpr (http://www. locumtenens. com/launchpr)).

Web Strategy Ignites Growth

Georgia-based LocumTenens. com has grown revenue 600% over the past five years (2000 to 2005). One of the physician recruiting firm's founding partners, Senior Vice President Pamela McKemie says the then-five-year-old physician recruiting firm "really took off" following two counter-intuitive business decisions in 1999:

Link the company's name to the industry's Set up an on-line physician job board where clients and competitors could list open positions free of charge

When Jackson & Coker founder and LocumTenens. com CEO Richard L. (“Rick”) Jackson suggested that "locumtenens. com" would be a great URL and agency name, “it was an epiphany,” McKemie says. “It was a tough decision to invest in an Internet job board where even our competitors could post jobs for free, but we now oversee much of the on-line physician traffic for our industry.”

The decision also has helped the agency's full-service, niche recruiting firm build a database of more than 46,000 physicians and roughly 9,000 certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs). The database represents 23% market penetration in the agency’s core specialties.

Physician Recruiting Firm Offers Clients a Choice

LocumTenens. com offers healthcare providers and facilities the freedom to choose: “Use our full-service recruiting agency or do it yourself through our free online physician job board.”

Therein lies perhaps the greatest opportunity in the agency’s marketing strategy: LocumTenens. com is both an all-specialty physician job board and a traditional, full-service physician recruiting firm focusing only on four high-demand specialties (anesthesiology, radiology, psychiatry, surgery).

New Site Segments Users

At www. locumtenens. com, the job board is front-and-center, with color-coded log-in spaces for

Physicians or CRNAs to search for jobs Healthcare facility managers to post jobs or search for candidates Third-party agency representatives to post jobs

From there the site’s content addresses each user audience uniquely. For example:

A physician or CRNA can upload curriculum vitae (CV) after registering on the site. The latest privacy and security technology lets the user decide if or when to reveal his identity. Anesthesiologists, CRNAs, psychiatrists, radiologists and surgeons can access dedicated career centers offering specialty-focused content. Healthcare executives and managers can customize job postings, even selecting photos from an on-line gallery to highlight the geographic setting for a given physician job. Healthcare facility recruiters can purchase LocumTenens. com’s “Recruit Rx.” Using this mass E-mailing tool users can access much of the agency’s database of more than 46,000 providers and build mailing lists of up to 5,000 contacts per month for a modest monthly or quarterly fee.

LocumTenens. com is part of the Jackson Healthcare Solutions family of companies. To learn more, visit the company's web sites at http://www. locumtenens. com/media (http://www. locumtenens. com/media) and http://www. crnajobs. com/ (http://www. crnajobs. com/).

Staples Stores Play Host to MDG Computers

Staples Stores Play Host to MDG Computers

Staples stores in London, Ontario now host MDG Computers. This pilot program is the first of its kind in MDG's corporate history. This test marketing initiative is anticipated to run for at least six months.

London, Ontario (PRWEB) April 19, 2006

In an unusual retailing experiment, MDG Computers has set up shop inside London-located Staples office supply stores.

The pilot project, exclusive to the four London stores, began last week. MDG Computers has set up kiosks staffed by their employees in close proximity to Staples' own displays of computers.

Although it appears that Staples is hosting their competition, district manager Edie Collins said the two retailers have a different niche in the computer market.

MDG Computers specializes in custom-made PCs and laptops built to a customer's specifications, while Staples sells off-the-shelf computer packages as part of a large selection of office supplies.

"They are providing a customized PC, something we really don't get into," said Collins.

The customized units appeal to computer gamers and small business owners who want a unit with specific functionality, she said.

Collins doesn't expect the partnership with MDG Computers to cause any friction with Hewlett-Packard, the main supplier of Staples computer packages.

MDG Computers is Canada's larger personal computer manufacturer with 27 retail outlets.

Mickey Grabovica, owner of the London MDG franchise, said the kiosks in Staples, measuring three metres by six metres, give his sales staff easier access to consumers. But MDG, with its strong sales and national advertising campaigns, also brings more traffic into the Staples stores, he said.

"I think it's going to work out for both. It's only been one week and sales have been off the charts."

Initial reports show computer sales for Staples were also healthy, said Collins.

"They're happy. We're happy. So that tells me that they're not taking our business. It's encouraging," she said.

MDG Computers had been operating from a store at 1070 Wellington Rd. South near White Oaks Mall. With the opening of the Staples outlets, MDG will be winding up retail sales at that location, but will keep it open as a service and repair centre.

The pilot project is expected to run at least six months. If the partnership is judged to be a success, the same concept could be rolled out to Staples and MDG Computers outlets across Canada.

Chinese Drywall Complaint Center Its Urgent We Get All Chinese Drywall Knauf Tianjin In Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, & SE Texas Homes Identified-Now!

The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center is urging all homeowners in Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi & the Houston to get identified now if their 2005-2006 contains a specific type of toxic Chinese drywall called Knauf Tianjin. The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says,"homeowners in 2005-2006 new, remodeled homes, or subdivisions in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and the metro areas of Houston & Austin in Southeast Texas, who have experienced numerous AC coil failures, electrical issues, all combined with health issues-should call us, for a very easy self inspection to see if they might have toxic Chinese drywall, or Knauf Tianjin drywall." They say, "we think there is a fairly good chance that a specific Chinese drywall manufacturer called Knauf Tianjin will settle with completely innocent homeowners in Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi, and we will help people identify this product at no cost." The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center is saying, "at this moment there are under 5000 homeowners in the US Southeast, who have been identified with Knauf Tianjin drywall in their homes. Because of intermixing American made drywall & toxic Chinese drywall called Knauf Tianjin-we fear the real number of US Southeast homes is over 125,000. Time is running out to get them identified." For more information please contact the Chinese Drywall Complaint Center anytime at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via its web site at Http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter. Com

Washington, DC (Vocus) August 9, 2010

The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center is saying, "its critical we get as many Knauf Tianjin Chinese drywall victims as possible identified, out of fear we have only identified 1 in 25 in Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, or the Houston & Austin areas of Southeast Texas - time could be running out." The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center has been calling imported toxic Chinese drywall the absolute worst environmental disaster for individual US homeowners in the history of the United States. The group says, "while State owned Chinese drywall manufacturers such as Taishan Gypsum, have knowingly participated in this toxic imported insult to every US citizen, the Chinese Government has turned its back on the 100,000's of completely innocent homeowners living in Toxic homes. However, in the case of Knauf Tianjin Chinese drywall, we think there is a good chance for a settlement." The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center is saying, "because we want to get the most possible homeowners identified with a Knauf Tianjin Chinese drywall, we are focusing on subdivisions built in 2005-2006 in Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi & the metro areas of Houston & Austin in Southeast Texas." They say, "if need be, we will go house to house, attic to attic, to help homeowners identify this product. Our inspections cost nothing, this is all about helping innocent homeowners, and their families, stuck in the mess of their lives." For more information homeowners in Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and especially the metro areas of Houston & Austin, Texas can call the Chinese Drywall Complaint Center anytime at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via its web site at Http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.

But, our biggest problem is getting the word out-especially in subdivisions. If you have these symptoms, just call us at 866-714-6466, and we will walk you, and hopefully your neighbors through a very simple self examination." Http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter. Com

According to the Chinese Drywall Complaint Center, "the key to discovering Chinese drywall in a Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, or Houston, and or Austin, Texas home, is attempting to marry failed AC coils in homes built, or remodeled in 2005-2006 with what is in the attic." The group says, "if you have had repeated AC coil failures, you, or your family is sick, check your attic & call us. We will help you in every step of the inspection process, we will give as much of our time as necessary-and our service is free-the goal find Knauf Tianjin drywall."

On the topic of turning its back on innocent US consumers, the Chinese Drywall Complaint Center is saying, "why hasn't President Obama mentioned the Chinese Drywall disaster one time? Why hasn't President Obama's US Consumer Products Safety Commission recalled one sheet of toxic Chinese drywall? Where is the US EPA, or the Centers for Disease Control?" The group says, "with the revelation of the Knauf, Banner, WCI cover-up-where is the US Justice Department? We are 110% certain there are more involved than just these three. Try dozens & dozens more. What happened to Change? The Obama Administration can't blame this on President Bush-this is now your disaster, and your miserable failure to care, and or to lead." Http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter. Com

The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says of the little known toxic Chinese drywall disaster, "sorry the March 2009 hatchet job did not work out so good for Florida homebuilders. The next time you try to run someone over with a truck-make sure they do not get back up. Google, Bing, or Yahoo-President Obama Toxic Chinese Drywall, US Justice Department Toxic Chinese Drywall, Knauf Tianjin Toxic Chinese Drywall." The group says, "this effort was always about trying to help completely innocent US homeowners stuck in the worst mess of their lives. Many of these homeowners have kids. How can anyone look the other way now-including the US DOJ, the Obama Administration, and the worthless US Congress?"

Gardener’s Solution to the Hosepipe Ban

Gardener’s Solution to the Hosepipe Ban

Bionetix UK has developed a water retentive, environmentally friendly compost that could alleviate the UK gardeners’ fears as hosepipe bans are enforced.

(PRWEB) May 18, 2006

Bionetix UK has developed a water retentive, environmentally friendly compost that could alleviate the UK gardeners’ fears as hosepipe bans are enforced.

Eco-Grow Bio-Compost is made from coir pith (the unwanted husks of coconuts), plus nutrients, soil enhancers and bio-stimulants. This key ingredient, coir pith, has exceptional water retention properties, absorbing up to four times its own volume of water. Its high lignin content results in a very slow rate decomposition making it a long-life soil conditioner. The Bio-compost is also totally peat free

From April 2006, nearly 13 million people have faced restrictions on water use, especially in southeast England where 18 months of below average rainfall has caused drought. This period is drier than the same time in 1976. Water companies in southeast England are imposing hosepipe and sprinkler bans to help conserve supplies because many experts can’t predict how long the dry weather will last.

The UK is facing one of the worst water situations for decades and gardens will suffer this summer as a result. Using a hosepipe during these bans is illegal and incurs a fine of up to £1000.

Additionally, Eco-Grow Bio-Compost contains bio-stimulants, which help to promote healthy plant growth by stimulating hormonal activity. This activity is essential for root formation, cell division, and plant health and stress tolerance. Eco-Grow bio-stimulants also contain high concentrations of both humic and folic acids, along with marine plants, enzymes and micronutrients. It is highly effective as a plant growth stimulant, soil enhancer, chelating/colloidal agent, and as a disease suppressant. Eco-Grow Bio-compost allows gardeners to look after their garden but not worry about hose pipe bans or fines.

Dr. John Duffy, managing director, says: “We British are very proud of our gardens but we also don’t want to incur hefty fines during the hosepipe bans. So gardeners can ensure their hanging baskets and geraniums are nourished, they are being kind to the environment, and are not breaking the law. Using Bionetix biological products gardeners can enjoy vibrant growth of all plants and shrubs throughout the hot summer months, when watering is kept to a minimum.”

Mothers Who Feed Their Children Toxic Chemicals Are On The Rise

Mothers Who Feed Their Children Toxic Chemicals Are On The Rise

Natural body care expert Mia Simone reveals the truth behind why so many mothers feed their children toxic chemicals every day.

Westminster, CO (PRWEB) May 1, 2006

Most mothers want to do what is best for their children, but the truth is that too often many do not.

“Many mothers buy skin and hair care products for their children that are saturated with chemical, toxic and synthetic ingredients. These types of ingredients do not promote good health” says natural body care expert Mia Simone.

Each day numerous uninformed mothers open up chemically saturated products and apply them to the bodies of the most cherished, loved and thought about people -- their children. Unfortunately many babies, children and youth have parents who honestly believe that the many unhealthy body care products they buy each month is what their families need. As a result they fail to understand and know the truth behind the toxic products they bring into their home. “Applying products to your skin is no different than eating them because the skin absorbs what you put on it. Whatever is in your skin or hair care will ultimately be absorbed into your skin and body. This is why it is extremely important to use healthy products on your body. Body care products are made from various ingredients. Choose ingredients that are natural or organic since these types of ingredients are derived from nature and promote good health,” informs Mia Simone.

Many mothers do not realize the possible dangers linked to the chemically based products they use, nor do they understand the negative consequences which can arise from continued use of products containing harsh toxic chemicals.

Why do many companies use synthetic, toxic and chemical ingredients in their skin and hair products? One reason is because many of these types of ingredients are less expensive in price when compared to natural and organic ingredients (which are healthier and of better quality). One of Mia Simone’s passions and goals is to educate consumers about natural beauty and natural body care. She does this through providing information and research that is available on her web site. Natural body care expert Mia Simone teaches people about the benefits of using natural and organic products and encourages them to read the ingredients of the products they buy. This can be easily and quickly done by simply reading the list of ingredients which is found on the product label.

“I believe consumers should equip themselves with the correct type of information to help and empower them to make informed decisions when purchasing food and body care products. You can tell how much a company cares about you, your children, family and pets by the type of ingredients they put in their products. Unfortunately, too many companies focus on making a profit at the expense of consumer health and safety. Because of excessive greed many companies will use harsh chemicals and synthetic ingredients -- even if it means using ingredients that do not promote good health” says Mia Simone. Her research on the most commonly used chemicals found in body care products and some of the possible negative side effects can be found on her web site, http://www. miasb. com/skin_commercial. htm (http://www. miasb. com/skin_commercial. htm). She offers this information to visitors and customers because it is her belief that the average consumer has little to no knowledge and understanding of possible dangers linked to chemicals found in most skin and hair care products. To learn about Mia Simone’s criteria for “natural” body care use this link http://www. miasb. com/naturalcriteria. htm (http://www. miasb. com/naturalcriteria. htm).

Mia Simone started making all natural skin and hair products after learning that the mainstream chemically based products were not truly helping her personal needs and were the cause (or contributed) to many of her skin and hair problems. She also became angry as she learned about the many chemicals most cosmetic companies choose to put in their body care products. She decided to become an advocate for good health in her own unique way—through manufacturing her own line of organic and 100 percent natural skin and hair care products. Her skin care products are designed for people with dry to extremely dry and problem skin (eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, ringworms etc). Her hair care is designed for people with dry to extremely dry hair that is curly, coiled, wavy, nappy, kinky, weak, damaged, natural or chemically treated.

Mia Simone’s Boutique is an international Internet boutique selling handcrafted fashion accessories and 100% natural, organic and vegan body care products. Mia Simone is known to many as "The Natural Body Care Expert" and "The Connoisseur of Handcrafted Fashion Accessories".

She is a speaker, educator and business woman with over 10 years of experience in business, nutrition, herbs and fashion accessory design. Beautifying the body and helping it become healthy internally and externally is Mia Simone’s specialty. She is available for radio, print, television and media interviews in addition to speaking events. She is happy to discuss natural skin care, natural hair care, nutrition, holistic body care, fashion accessories, fashion trends, beauty trends, women online, online shopping and women entrepreneurs.

Pharmaceutical News 2.0: Pharmaceutical Industry Investors Support Access to Medicine

Online healthcare resource Pharmaceutical News 2.0 has found that more investors in the pharmaceutical industry are coming out to support the access to medicine index, which ranks pharmaceutical companies' efforts to improve global access to medicines. As of the end of last year, fourteen worldwide investors, who together manage assets worth $1.4 trillion, had signed up to the access to medicine index.

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) February 21, 2009

Online healthcare resource Pharmaceutical News 2.0 has found that more investors in the pharmaceutical industry are coming out to support the access to medicine index, which ranks pharmaceutical companies' efforts to improve global access to medicines. As of the end of last year, fourteen worldwide investors, who together manage assets worth $1.4 trillion, had signed up to the access to medicine index.

In a statement soon after signing the index, the investors said how the pharmaceutical industry "…responds to the access to medicine issue could impact materially on long-term shareholder value." They affirmed that access to healthcare should be viewed as a basic human right.
The investors who signed up to the access to medicine index include AMP Capital, Sarasian, Ethos, F&C, Henderson, Aviva, Schroders, Natixis and SMPS.

Explaining their decision to support the index, they said they wanted to feel confident that "… [Pharmaceutical] companies management have fully considered risks and opportunities in relation to the access to medicine issue, and have effective policies and processes for dealing with the challenges." Diseases like HIV/AIDS, malaria and Tuberculosis, they noted, continue to devastate many people in the developing world, and that pharmaceutical companies had an obligation to put in place access to medicine programs in those countries.

Already, quite a number of pharmaceutical companies have access to medicine programs in countries they operate. GlaxoSmithKline, for instance, has access to medicine programs for low-income patients in both developed and developing countries.

New Company is Only in U. S. That Stores Frozen Immune Cells Giving Clients Options for Future Medical Treatments

New Company is Only in U. S. That Stores Frozen Immune Cells Giving Clients Options for Future Medical Treatments

BioBancUSA™ launches the nation's first revolutionary immune cell preservation center dedicated to providing 'bioinsurance' against disease. Several of the world's foremost physicians have developed the advanced technology to collect and store an individual's immune cells as insurance against future disease.

Monterey, CA (PRWEB) March 3, 2007

BioBancUSA™ launches the nation's first revolutionary immune cell preservation center dedicated to providing 'bioinsurance' against disease. Several of the world's foremost physicians have developed the advanced technology to collect and store an individual's immune cells as insurance against future disease. The International Scientific Advisory Board of BioBancUSA announced today the official launch of the company after receiving a biologics license from the State of California. The company's management team also announced they began storing their first clients in February.

Robert Hayner, President and CEO of BiobancUSA states, "We are pleased to offer this unique and exclusive service. The launching of BioBancUSA is a groundbreaking innovation that will allow families to store their white blood cells for future potential medical uses." According to Mr. Hayner, The process of storing white blood cells is relatively easy; in fact, he states that it is "similar to donating blood." A consultation appointment is set up with BioBancUSA personnel, either by phone or in person. Upon arrival to the laboratory, the entire process takes one hour from start-to-finish, with the blood collection itself taking approximately 15 minutes. The blood is tested for any infectious diseases and is stored in an airtight aluminum cassette and placed into a cryogenic tank. BioBancUSA is the exclusive U. S. licensee of the original patent for the collection, processing and cryopreservation technology of white blood cells, giving the assurance of both technical integrity and legal legitimacy.

BioBancUSA anticipates that the clinical applications for the use of stored, healthy immune cells will explode in the near future. Current research shows stored white cells could be used for cancer, autoimmune diseases and immune restoration. Numerous clinical trials are under way which use white blood cells as the basis of therapy. For example, a recent ground breaking report by the National Institutes of Health unveiled a new approach to attack metastatic melanoma cancer. Also, Baylor Medical Center completed clinical trials using immune cells to fight breast cancer. Other recent research using immune cell therapy includes prostate and gastric cancer and various other cancers.

"Storing healthy white blood cells give patients the opportunity for future options as the medical technology expands," states Robert Keller, M. D., Chief Medical Officer of BioBancUSA. "Without these stored immune cells, an individual may miss the opportunity for future treatments because these cells may be compromised as we age."

The company is led by an International Scientific Advisory Board headed by the world-renowned Dr. Charron, M. D., Ph. D. Dr. Charron states "white blood cell (WBC) transfusion may well impact health in the 21st century to the same extent as Red Blood Cell (RBC) transfusion did over the 20th century."

Hugh Wilson, M. D., Laboratory and Medical Director, says "BioBancUSA's patented process yields the highest immune cell viability when thawed for use in treatment. We use GE Healthcare's most advanced freezing and archiving system to ensure optimal results."

BioBancUSA is now accepting new clients to begin storing immune cells in anticipation for future therapies. For more information about BioBancUSA contact Suzanne Hambleton at 831.601.3581 or visit their website at www. biobancusa. com. Media kits can be obtained upon request and exclusive tours can be arranged to select members of the media.

Made with Fair Trade Quinoa, Qino One Vodka Now Part of Heavenly Spirits' Acclaimed Portfolio

Made with Fair Trade Quinoa, Qino One Vodka Now Part of Heavenly Spirits' Acclaimed Portfolio

Heavenly Spirits, a Massachusetts-based importer specializing in exceptional French spirits is now the owner and distributor of Qino One Vodka, a unique vodka made with Fair Trade quinoa and European rye.

Lakeville, MA (PRWEB) August 30, 2010

Created in 2006, Qino One Vodka is made in part with quinoa, an ancient Bolivian grown cereal grain praised by the Incas as "the Mother of all Grains" and "Soul Food of the Andes." The United Nations considers quinoa a super food and it is often referred to as "the grain of the future."

Launched in selective US markets in 2007, Qino One Vodka immediately received high praise for quality and taste from industry arbiters. “In addition to receiving awards from The Chicago Beverage Testing Institute, The San Francisco World Spirits Competition, the Ultimate Spirits Challenge, and an outstanding product evaluation from spirit guru Paul Pacult, Qino One Vodka has the distinction of being one excellent tasting vodka that happens to be made using Fair Trade quinoa and European rye,” says Heavenly Spirits owner Dan Cooney of Lakeville, MA.

Dan and his wife Christine helped name, develop and create the brand back in 2006 and became the sole owners early in 2010. The Cooneys, who work together promoting Heavenly Spirits are delighted to have the opportunity to continue marketing Qino One. “We have some exciting ideas for the brand’s future,” reports Christine. “While we can’t yet reveal all our plans, we do expect Qino One Vodka will soon be even more available to a growing number of adult vodka drinkers in the US.” “The goal,” says Christine “has always been to make the best quality vodka possible using the right amount of quinoa, a unique and healthy ingredient that is organic and Fair Trade certified by Ecocert.”

During the research and development stage of the project the couple learned about the difficult economic conditions that exist in Bolivia and made a commitment to help the farmers and the surrounding community. They decided that in addition to using Fair Trade Bolivian quinoa to make the vodka, they would support the efforts of Kiva, an award winning micro lending program that benefits developing countries including Bolivia. (See http://www. kiva. org (http://www. kiva. org).)

Qino One Raspberry Flavored Vodka was added to the line in 2008 and was strongly recommended by the Ultimate Spirits Tasting Panel in 2010. Naturally flavored from distilled raspberries with almost no sugar added, it smells like pure raspberries and sets itself apart from most other flavored vodkas on the market by its use of 100% natural ingredients.

Heavenly Spirits is a company that imports distinctive, award winning, distilled spirits from France, including; Armagnac, Cognac and Calvados. Super premium Qino One Vodka will likely be a natural fit into the Heavenly Spirits portfolio. Now the leading importer of Armagnac in the United States, Heavenly Spirits has distribution networks in twelve states, including: New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, California, Illinois, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Massachusetts and Georgia.

Reuters Business Insight: F&D manufacturers jump on the low-carb bandwagon

Reuters Business Insight: F&D manufacturers jump on the low-carb bandwagon

A new report* from Reuters Business Insight reveals that 95% of European and US food and drink manufacturers say they cannot afford to ignore the impact of low-carb dieting on the industry. Over a quarter view the development of low-carbohydrate foods as a priority, and are actively investing in the research and development of new products. “There is no doubt that the consumer’s appetite for low-carbohydrate foods is huge. With big names entering the market on a daily basis, it is important that the UK food and drink industry realises the potential of the sector,” comments Camilla Palmer, author of the report.

London, UK (PRWEB) May 30, 2004

Concern over rising obesity rates and the need to curb them has not escaped the attention of food and drinks manufacturers. A new report* from Reuters Business Insight reveals that 95% of Europe’s and US food and drink manufacturers say they cannot afford to ignore the impact of low-carb dieting on the industry. Over a quarter view the development of low-carbohydrate foods as a priority, and are actively investing in the research and development of new products. “There is no doubt that the consumer’s appetite for low-carbohydrate foods is huge. With big names entering the market on a daily basis, it is important that the UK food and drink industry realises the potential of the sector,” comments Camilla Palmer, author of the report.

European waistlines are growing bigger

Changing patterns in daily life coupled with alterations in diet have caused shifts in both the Body Mass Index (BMI) profile of European nations and the ways in which the citizens of these nations perceive themselves. Across western Europe, the trend is for people to put on weight, mimicking the development of the BMI profile in the United States. One-third of western European consumers are now overweight and by 2006 this will increase to almost half.

The European dieting market is forecast to be worth over €100bn in 2007 and it is estimated that 3 million British consumers are now actively cutting their carbohydrate intake. The potential opportunities to tap into this market are huge.

Food & drink manufacturers expect healthy profits from low-carb diets

Almost two-thirds of respondents see the burgeoning of the low-carb sector as an opportunity and over a quarter say their companies have already manufactured a product under the low-carbohydrate umbrella. The respondents thought the sectors most likely to be affected were bakery, confectionery and snack-foods, 76% of respondents believe snack foods sector would be affected by developments in low-carbohydrate food, with 73% thinking that the bakery sector would be challenged.

Sectors such as chilled and frozen foods, ambient meals, sauces and dressings, fruit juices and carbonates and beers and lagers, all of which traditionally contain carbohydrates either in variety or ingredients make-up, are also seen as likely candidates to be influenced by the low-carbohydrate trend.

The spirits and wine sectors remain relatively unaffected, however, in the eyes of the industry. Most products within these sectors contain a relatively low-carbohydrate count, meaning that any shift could come in the form of remarketing to capitalise on consumersÂ’ enthusiasm for low-carbohydrate choices.

Tesco has introduced specialist labelling for consumers wanting to check the level of carbohydrates in a variety of private label products. Safeway is also considering a similar step, with foods containing less than 10% carbohydrate being labelled as such. Sandwich retailer BenjyÂ’s now stocks a range of low-carbohydrate products including Carbolite bars.

Cedarlane Natural Foods Serves Up Extricom Wi-Fi

Cedarlane Natural Foods Serves Up Extricom Wi-Fi

Cedarlane Natural Foods has completed deployment of an Extricom WLAN in its multi-building distribution warehouse system. The WLAN will streamline Cedarlane’s day-to-day operations while achieving operational cost-savings.

New York, NY (PRWEB) May 19, 2010

Extricom, a designer and manufacturer of high-performance, next generation wireless LAN (WLAN) infrastructure solutions, today announced that Cedarlane Natural Foods Inc., a leading manufacturer of award-winning healthy and innovative frozen and fresh foods headquartered in Carson, CA, has finished deploying an Extricom WLAN in its multi-building distribution warehouse system. The WLAN will support wireless scanning terminals and a VoIP phone system, and is designed to streamline Cedarlane’s day-to-day operations while achieving operational cost-savings.

Cedarlane produces and distributes a variety of natural and organic foods to a wide range of retailers and grocery chains, including Krogers, Albertsons, and Vons. The smooth flow of ingredients and operations is key to Cedarlane’s business, so uninterrupted communication and near real-time picture of inventory levels in warehouses are absolutely critical. Cedarlane uses wireless scanners to keep track of inventory over multiple warehouses and is in the process of implementing a wireless VoIP phone system to enhance communications between employees.

“Our warehouses were less than ideal for enterprise-grade Wi-Fi,” stated Daniel Baroco, Cedarlane’s IT Manager. “Cedarlane employees move around a lot both inside our facilities and between buildings, so we needed a wireless solution that handled mobility, as well as the challenging RF environment of the warehouse, without problems. Extricom was the only solution that fit the bill in terms of the performance and operational flexibility to support our sophisticated application base. In addition to allowing us to track inventory, we anticipate it will help us eliminate use of cellular phones as employee communication devices, a potential cost-savings of $100,000 per year.”

Extricom Channel Blanket™ architecture was designed with mobility as a core value, making it ideally suited for the warehouse environment. An Extricom system consists of multiple APs operating on the same channel to create widespread, contiguous blankets of coverage, and a central Extricom switch coordinates AP transmissions to ensure that there is no co-channel interference. The result is wire-like connectivity with no handoffs between APs as wireless clients move around. In addition, multiple Channel Blankets can be layered on the same physical infrastructure, which allows applications with possibly conflicting network needs, such as VoIP and data, to be segregated onto separate blankets.

“Deployments like Cedarlane Natural Foods are a great showcase for how Extricom WLAN helps enterprises overcome technical challenges that other wireless solutions can’t resolve,” declared Gideon Rottem, Extricom’s CEO. “As more and more enterprises look to go beyond the wireless ‘hotspot’ and make their WLAN a critical part of the business, operational flexibility, seamless mobility, and guaranteed performance will be at a premium. The multi-purpose nature of the Extricom WLAN makes it the perfect system to leverage these values and achieve substantial ROI.”

Men and Women Around the World Get Fit Beyond Belief Training Like Rocky Balboa

Men and Women Around the World Get Fit Beyond Belief Training Like Rocky Balboa

Using the outdoors for fitness training and inspiration from all the Rocky films, men and women around the world get into the best shape of their lives.

Edison, NJ (PRWEB) December 19, 2006

Why is Sylvester Stallone always so fit in every one of his movies, regardless of his age?

How does a man over 60 years of age still have a body that men and women in their 20's idolize and envy?

"The way Sly trains in his movies are NOT just for entertainment," says Zach Even - Esh. "These are actual fitness methods that men and women around the world have been subscribing to for over a year now at http://UndergroundStrengthCoach. com." (http://UndergroundStrengthCoach. com.")

Since when have sledge hammers, playgrounds, sandbags and other tools found at the local Home Depot become the new craze in fitness training? It all started in August of 2005 when Zach Even - Esh, creator and owner of Underground Strength Coach, decided to show the world how people of all ages can get in the best shape of their life without belonging to a gym or health club.

After belonging to a gym for over 13 years, Zach Even - Esh decided to break the monotony and start moving like a kid again. Even - Esh began exercising with the tools he found in his father's garage, odd objects laying around in the backyard such as stones and logs. Nearby parks and playgrounds became Even - Esh's "gym" of choice, while others spent time inside overly crowded and unappealing fitness centers.

These "Underground" fitness methods were then perfected and used to train local athletes and local adults, all with amazing success.

Where did this style of training emerge from? It all goes back to the very first Rocky movie, where Rocky runs the streets of Philadelphia, exercises at the junk yard using a sledge hammer and performs pull ups at the playground.

Today, over 1,000 members subscribe to Underground Strength Coach in favor of ditching their boring days at the local health club. Instead, men and women of all ages enjoy the fresh air while exercising outdoors or the convenience of training at home with their "home-made" fitness equipment.

Thanks to all the inspiration from the Rocky films, Zach Even - Esh has brought this style of fitness to the public eye and in turn has made exercise fun again. Even - Esh emphasizes, "The key to getting into the best shape of your life starts with having fun. If you have fun while exercising, you are instantly on a high speed journey towards achieving your fitness goals."
