About Titan Lenders Corp.:

Denver-based Titan Lenders Corp. (www.TitanLendersCorp.com) was originally founded to meet the mortgage industry's increasing appetite for a variable cost solution to managing mortgage closing, post closing, mortgage compliance and mortgage fulfillment processes without maintaining personnel or an investment in technology infrastructure.

As such, Titan's core offerings have expanded to include MERS audit services, risk management services and whole loan purchase review. Additionally, Titan has also created a correspondent lending subsidiary, Titan Capital Solutions, to support a secondary/capital market strategy specifically for the correspondent lending channel

Backing these endeavors is Titan's patented, proprietary web-based software Cerberyx (CBX), which supports a full suite of fulfillment services, including: funding, compliance, closing, post-closing, purchase review for correspondents and warehouse lenders, trailing documents, MERS management, FHA insuring, and document management (imaging). CBX's flexible rules-based architecture allows Titan clients to define field level decision trees, priorities, checklists and process management specific to an investor product variance or a cross-investor climate.

Wilkinson's practice involves structuring, documenting and negotiating seed through later stage equity financings, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, intellectual property licenses, and general corporate matters.

His clients span a broad range of industries, including e-commerce, Internet-based businesses, software, precision manufacturing, higher education and life sciences. He also represents several privately-held companies in an "outside general counsel" capacity, starting with pre-formation issues, progressing through several rounds of financing, and culminating in an "exit" transaction. In that capacity, he counsels entrepreneurs, investors and business leaders on the full range of legal issues that arise over the course of a company's lifetime, including general corporate matters (such as employment agreements, equity incentive plans, and intellectual property protection measures), and commercial contracts (such as manufacturing, development, distribution, supply and license agreements).

"Marcus will be a terrific addition to our growing corporate team," says Christopher La Chance, head of the firm's Corporate and Securities practice group.

He is a member of the Executive Committee of the Business Law Section of the Connecticut Bar Association, and is a frequent speaker at continuing legal education seminars. He was designated as a Connecticut SuperLawyer in the field of Mergers and Acquisitions.

UK Spouse Visa Process: UK Border Agency (UKBA) Changes Affecting Settlement Applications

Author: Marriage Visa Help
Dateline: New York, New York (NEW YORK, N.Y.)  | Mon, 15 Apr 2013

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “According to Marriage Visa Help (MarriageVisaHelp), a global visa consultancy specializing in family immigration, two important changes have recently been made by the UK Border Agency which will affect those applying for a UK spouse visa, UK fiancee visa, UK unmarried partner visa and other family visas under the settlement category.”



A R T I C L E:

According to Marriage Visa Help (MarriageVisaHelp), a global visa consultancy specializing in family immigration, two important changes have recently been made by the UK Border Agency (UKBA) which will affect those applying for a UK spouse visa, UK fiancee visa, UK unmarried partner visa and other family visas under the settlement category.

Effective 28 February 2013, anyone applying for a UK settlement marriage visa from the Philippines is now required to undergo a mandatory medical screening to show that they are free from active tuberculosis. The TB screening applies to anyone over the age of 11, while children under this age will need to be assessed by a designated panel physician as to whether they need to be fully tested or not.

All testing and assessment must be carried out by an approved clinic in the Philippines before submitting a UK fiancee or marriage visa application to the British High Commission in Manila. There are non-refundable fees associated with the testing.

The new immigration fees for UK family visa applications came into force on 6 April 2013. All settlement visa categories are rising in price to 851 pounds, an additional 25 pounds per visa issued. The relevant categories are the UK marriage (spousal) visa, UK fiancee visa, UK unmarried partner visa, UK civil partnership visa and also the proposed civil partner visa category. In-country postal further leave to remain (FLRm) applications based on marriage to a British Citizen or UK legal permanent resident, are also rising in price, but perhaps of most interest is a new fee of 375 pounds on top of any charges to anyone applying for a UK spouse or partner visa in person (same day service).

This will include a non-refundable appointment fee of 100 pounds and dependents will be charged separately in all cases. Applicants can use old UK visa application forms for 21 days following the increase, but these should be accompanied by the new fee.

Marriage Visa Help (Marriagevisahelp.com) is a full-service immigration consultancy firm dedicated solely to marriage visas. The firm specializes exclusively in fiancee, partner and spouse immigration. Marriage Visa Help senior immigration consultants have over 30 years of combined experience in family visas.

Cooperative purchasing speeds up public sector projects, North American Roofing Expands National Presence

Author: North American Roofing
Dateline: Asheville, North Carolina (ASHEVILLE, N.C.)  | Thu, 11 Apr 2013

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “North American Roofing strengthens its national position as one of the largest commercial roofing companies in the U.S. with the award to participate in the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA), through their premier construction program with ezIQC, which helps municipalities find sources for construction and repair facilitating the competitive bid process on behalf of their members.”



A R T I C L E:

North American Roofing strengthens its national position as one of the largest commercial roofing companies in the U.S. with the award to participate in the National Joint Powers Alliance(R) (NJPA), through their premier construction program with ezIQC(R), which helps municipalities find sources for construction and repair facilitating the competitive bid process on behalf of their members.

North American Roofing can now offer its services to the public sector with what are known as "job order contracts" or indefinite quantity construction contracts in which contractors bid based on a catalog of pre-priced tasks. The first phase of the rollout is for 14 states, with all 50 states included by the end of the year.

For many municipalities, cooperative purchasing has long been used to lower costs for office supplies such as paper, staples and paper clips. The ezIQC construction procurement system has been in place for state governments, school systems and other public sector entities for over twenty years, according to the company's website and the Gordian Group who administers the system, and brings that same power of group buying and helps shed the red tape of traditional procurement for often high priced on-call facility repair and construction.

National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA) is a public agency and member-driven service cooperative that serves over 50,000 members, according to their company information. NJPA offers a multitude of contracted products, equipment and service opportunities to education, government and non-profit entities.

"North American Roofing is a great addition to NJPA/ezIQC: Their experience and longevity in the marketplace, awards for quality and workmanship and their prominence in the industry - coupled with the full range of vendors they bring with them - can go a long way toward streamlining the procurement process for municipalities on tight budgets and timelines," according to Clint Owings, National Program Manager, The Gordian Group.

"Much like food cooperatives that most people know of, NJPA works in the same way, establishing business and service alliances between member 'buyers' and contracted 'suppliers' through competitively bid contracts," Brian Verble, President and CEO of North American Roofing said.

Communities benefit in many ways. The projects are started and completed faster, and the cost of the projects is already within the scope of the budget, since NJPA and ezIQC have already vetted the competitive bid process.

North American Roofing has been involved with public sector projects for schools and county projects in the past, but nothing on this scale. Verble added, "Though we've been nationally known for our quality and workmanship, which is how we've become the third largest and respected commercial roofing company in the U.S., we're excited to be adding the public sector to our portfolio through this new NJPA/ezIQC relationship."

About North American Roofing:

A pioneer in the commercial single-ply roofing industry since 1979, North American Roofing specializes in commercial and industrial low-slope roof systems and is the 3rd largest commercial and industrial roofing company in the U.S. In addition to installation, repair and preventative maintenance, the company continues to expand its operation, which now includes the North American Roofing's Energy Services Group specializing in integrated solar roofing and energy systems by designing and installing high caliber solar arrays. Employee-owned and in continuous operation for three generations, North American Roofing has installed and serviced more than 900 million square feet of roofing on more than 19,500 facilities across the United States.

A R T I C L E:

ProSource today announced that Beacon Printing recently increased its capabilities with the addition of a Konica Minolta color bizhub Press and a black and white bizhub Pro, both with variable data printing support. The color press allows Beacon to produce the best color images in the production print marketplace, while delivering short-run color jobs to fit customers' tight deadlines. The black and white press, with its increased paper handling and image quality, helps the company tackle any monochrome job.

"Our new presses play a significant role in fulfilling our pledge to our customers: to be a single source for their marketing needs, from concept to design to flexible, top-quality printing," says Tom Parr, president and owner of Beacon Printing. "Now we are able to handle a broader spectrum of jobs and improve our turnaround time."

Recognizing the importance of keeping up with technology, Parr began his search for the right products provided by the right company. After considering several options, he chose ProSource, the locally owned provider of office technology and business services. "Service was a key consideration, if our equipment isn't functioning, our clients suffer," notes Parr. So he did his homework. "I toured the ProSource facility - several times - and the customer service synergy was obvious." All references reinforced his belief.

"Beacon Printing now has the ability to offer targeted variable data marketing campaigns for their customers, with extremely fast turnaround times, on award-winning digital presses from ProSource," comments Chris Cook, production print specialist at ProSource. "Beacon Printing continues to invest in the success of its customers."

"I am very satisfied," reports Parr. "When customers say 'Call Beacon and they will take care of it,' we are well equipped to do just that."

County of San Bernardino Workforce Investment Board Announces Business Survey Results that Point to Economic Growth

Author: San Bernardino County Workforce Investment Board
Dateline: San Bernardino, California (SAN BERNARDINO, Calif.)  | Wed, 03 Apr 2013

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “The San Bernardino County Workforce Investment Board surveyed 1,400 local Calif. businesses to identify trends in future hiring and growth. The results indicated that companies are recovering and beginning to hire in the County's top demand industries: manufacturing, health care, transportation and logistics, energy and utilities, and construction.”



A R T I C L E:

The San Bernardino County Workforce Investment Board surveyed 1,400 local Calif. businesses to identify trends in future hiring and growth. The results indicated that companies are recovering and beginning to hire in the County's top demand industries: manufacturing, health care, transportation and logistics, energy and utilities, and construction.

"The Workforce Investment Board's business services team meets regularly with employers both to offer no cost services to support their needs and to gather information on employment trends," says Brad Gates, Deputy Director for Business Services, Workforce Investment Board. "We are seeing continual upward trends in the County, especially in logistics and transportation and manufacturing. As more industries regain their footing and start hiring, the County's economy will continue to gain momentum and grow."

A recent comparison of data from third quarter 2011 and third quarter 2012 showed that both the transportation and logistics and the manufacturing sectors are recovering, with many employers planning to hire. In transportation and logistics, 33 percent of the businesses surveyed in the third quarter reported that their sales are increasing, and zero percent of businesses answered that their sales are declining. This is a significant increase compared to the third quarter of 2011, when only 26 percent reported increasing sales and 14 percent reported declining. The Workforce Investment Board has identified transportation and logistics as an in demand employment sector.

"With such a boom in transportation and logistics, it only makes sense to for us to strategically focus our limited resources in this and the other growing industries. We want to work with the County's competitive advantages to create a trained and skilled workforce that will continue to build growing industry sectors," states Sandy Harmsen, Executive Director of the Workforce Investment Board.

The manufacturing industry shows a similar trend; sales and employment have increased significantly. Thirty-nine percent of employers surveyed reported that sales are increasing and 41 percent of employers reported that employment trends are increasing, this industry is growing quickly.

Along with the rise of these business sectors, a recent survey also shows that the local unemployment rate is inching down each month.

"The County's economy is starting to pick up momentum thanks to significant growth in our major industries. The continued support of our Workforce Investment Board and its business services team will keep our economy in a positive direction," said Chair Janice Rutherford, County of San Bernardino Second District Supervisor.

Services such as process improvement consulting, employee training, On-the-Job training, and recruitment are available at no cost to businesses in San Bernardino County through the Workforce Investment Board.
