That is why Starlight Children's Foundation created Starbright World, an online social network for sick teens and their teen-aged siblings.”



A R T I C L E:

Having a chronic or life-threatening medical condition makes it hard for teens to cope with the already difficult realities of being a teenager. Supporting a sibling with an illness can be daunting as well. That is why Starlight Children's Foundation created Starbright World (www.starbrightworld.org), an online social network for sick teens and their teen-aged siblings - to provide a community of support and a much-needed distraction from daily struggles.

Over the past two years, Vivendi has provided leadership gifts for the critical preproduction and production phases of the Starbright World(R) redesign, earning recognition as the signature sponsor of the site. Vivendi recently renewed its support of Starlight once again through another generous award. The latest gift will be used to introduce new and enhanced features on Starbright World to satisfy the ever-changing expectations of its young community and keep the site on par with other popular social networks.

Many teens living with serious illness are isolated-both physically and emotionally-and feel left behind by friends. Starbright World enables teens to connect, socialize and establish meaningful relationships with others who are struggling with similar issues. In late 2009, thanks to generous contributions through Vivendi's Create Joy Fund, Starlight unveiled its next generation of Starbright World, which brought the latest in social networking technology to the site. Starbright World members connect with each other via chat, take part in virtual contests and games, and express themselves through stories, photos, videos, e-cards and personal profiles.

"Vivendi is proud to be the signature sponsor of Starbright World as part of the company's commitment to supporting children and teens who struggle every day with life-altering medical conditions," said Flavie Lemarchand-Wood, Vivendi's director of communications in North America. "Since our involvement, Starbright World has increased its membership by an estimated 42%. The Starbright World community is an incredible example of how technology and heart can bring the digital generation together in innovative ways."

Pending enhancements to Starbright World include one-way video conferencing, webinar functionality, additional instant messaging capabilities and a music player. The grant will also support 20/7 live chat hosting and site moderation as well as marketing and outreach to promote awareness and member recruitment.

"We were so honored when Vivendi funded the rebuild of Starbright World," said Jane Van Stedum, Interim Executive Director at Starlight. "Membership on the site is at an all-time high. Our teens report they absolutely love the new features, which allow them to find others with similar challenges and express themselves in a safe and accepting environment. Vivendi has been instrumental in ensuring that Starbright World incorporates cutting edge technology and remains an engaging hotspot-and emotional lifeline-for seriously ill teens."

Since its debut in 1996, Starbright World has helped thousands of teens, ages 13-20, build on friendships, create new ones, and cope with their illnesses. "Research studies have demonstrated the very real benefits of Starbright World, which include a reduction in pain, anxiety, loneliness and withdrawn behavior, and an increased willingness to return for medical treatment," said Joseph Bush, Ph.D., associate dean for research, Fielding Graduate University's School of Psychology.

Visit www.starbrightworld.org to learn more about Starbright World and how to register. To keep the site safe, parental consent is required for membership, and the chat rooms are monitored at all times by trained, paid adult staff.

Backup Software Source Code Now for Sale – Licensees Can Now Enter Backup Utility Market as Easily as Possible

Author: EASEUS Software
Dateline: New York City, New York (NEW YORK CITY, N.Y.)  | Wed, 29 Sep 2010

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “EASEUS Software today expanded their licensing offerings even further by adding a third product line.

EASEUS Software is providing its highly-rated backup utility source code for sale so that more software developers can secure success in the next big wave.”



A R T I C L E:

EASEUS Software today expanded their licensing offerings even further by adding a third product line. According to the company, software source code selling is a fast track to enter the lucrative data backup and security market. EASEUS Software is providing its highly-rated backup utility source code for sale so that more software developers can secure success in the next big wave - now licensees can acquire the perfect backup and recovery software direct from the developer.

Software source code selling is getting more and more popular, and it is well accepted by both start-ups and established companies. For start-ups, it takes time and energy to build one's own fame and brand. With software source code selling, they can enter a market as early as possible, grow market share and make more revenue. For established "grown" companies, software source code selling can facilitate the way to enter into a totally different field -- you do not need to develop all these utilities from scratch.

Software source code selling is offered all over the market. But as a pioneer in this field, EASEUS takes their source code buyers as partners instead of clients. EASEUS not only offers perfect source code selling, but also helps to do research beforehand, helps with marketing, can even help to provide technical support and services. To the point, EASEUS wants to develop relationships with its source code buyers instead of a one-time business transaction.

Todo Backup is a reliable and easy-to-use backup/restore freeware that was launched by EASEUS a few years ago, and has been warmly received by its users. "With the amount of electronic data being generated faster than ever, the backup solutions market is growing as explosively. We are providing for sale our backup software source code so that hopefully more users can enjoy the benefit, and more players can enter into this market and extend their product line," said Mr. Liu of EASEUS.

He also said, "We welcome all kinds of communications from other backup software source code selling players, since source code is our most unique intellectual property, we want to make the best use of it. We provide many other kinds of cooperation modes like rebranding, Software OEM, etcetera."

About CHENGDU YIWO Tech Development Co., Ltd.

The company specializes in data recovery, partition manager and backup software for the MS Windows OS. Its major products are Data Recovery Wizard, Partition Table Doctor, EASEUS Partition Master and Todo Backup. For more information, please visit http://www.easeus.com .

Homes in Livingston County at Risk for Mine Subsidence

Author: Illinois Mine Subsidence Insurance Fund
Dateline: Pontiac, Illinois (PONTIAC, Ill.)  | Wed, 29 Sep 2010

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “The risk of mine subsidence is present for many homeowners in Livingston County, and the Illinois Mine Subsidence Insurance Fund (IMSIF) has initiated a consumer education initiative to address the issue. Mine subsidence occurs in an abandoned mine when a mine roof or pillar collapses, causing the ground above to sink or subside.”



A R T I C L E:

The risk of mine subsidence is present for many homeowners in Livingston County, and the Illinois Mine Subsidence Insurance Fund (IMSIF) has initiated a consumer education initiative to address the issue. Mine subsidence occurs in an abandoned mine when a mine roof or pillar collapses, causing the ground above to sink or subside. Homes built in close proximity to these mines are subject to foundation or structural damage, which may cost thousands of dollars to repair. IMSIF hopes to raise consumer awareness of both the risk of mine subsidence and the availability of insurance through primary carriers.

IMSIF is also encouraging the use of mine maps, compiled and digitally reproduced by the Illinois State Geological Survey (ISGS), to determine if a specific location is at risk for mine subsidence. A property need not be directly over a mine to be affected by mine subsidence. The maps can be accessed from a link on the IMSIF Web site at www.imsif.com .

According to ISGS estimates, 330,000 housing units in Illinois are in close proximity to mines and have possible exposure to mine subsidence. In Livingston County, an estimated 1,736 housing units have possible exposure to mine subsidence. Most of the exposure is in the Pontiac and Fairbury areas.

Mine subsidence insurance coverage is excluded from traditional homeowner policies, but Illinois consumers can have the coverage added to their existing property policy. There are 34 "Mandatory" counties in Illinois wherein coverage is automatically included in property policies, but Livingston County is not designated as Mandatory. Therefore, homeowners in Livingston County must request the additional coverage by contacting their insurance agent or company. The cost of mine subsidence coverage is the same in all counties, and is based on the amount of insurance purchased. For example, the annual premium for mine subsidence coverage on a home insured for $150,000 is $65. The annual premium on a home insured for $350,000 is $126.

Although IMSIF does not sell mine subsidence insurance, it was created in 1979 by Illinois legislators to provide reinsurance to companies affording this coverage. The Fund also conducts geotechnical investigations for mine subsidence claims, and supports mine subsidence research and education. Homeowners wishing to purchase mine subsidence insurance should contact their own insurance agent or company. For more information on mine subsidence or the Illinois Mine Subsidence Insurance Fund, contact Kathy Moran at 800-433-6743, ext. 261.

Marinello Schools of Beauty Scholarship Winner is Following Her Dream to Improve the Lives of Abused Women

Author: Marinello Schools of Beauty
Dateline: Redding, California (REDDING, Calif.)  | Tue, 28 Sep 2010

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Jessica Wylie, 18, the first-place winner of the second annual Marinello Raw Talent High School Scholarship contest, wants to use her $10,000 scholarship to help abused women feel 'loved, important and beautiful.' Her remarkable story has since been published in Redding's own Record Searchlight.”



A R T I C L E:

Jessica Wylie, 18, the first-place winner of the second annual Marinello Raw Talent High School Scholarship contest, wants to use her $10,000 scholarship to help abused women feel "loved, important and beautiful." Her remarkable story has since been published in Redding's own Record Searchlight.

"I have been living with and mentoring girls who have been abused or victimized in some way throughout their entire lives," Wylie wrote in her winning essay titled Beauty from Ashes. "One of the many ways they have inspired me is by giving me the dream to help their outer beauty match their inner beauty."

Wylie, who recently started classes at the Marinello Schools of Beauty's Redding, Calif. campus, wrote in her essay of her desire to start a program on campus where abused women could get their hair, make-up and nails done by Marinello students for free. In addition to helping the women feel better about themselves, Wylie hopes that such a program would allow her fellow students to "leave with a sense of fulfillment such as I have experienced just by being around the girls I have mentored."

"Jessica Wylie is the kind of student we want the Marinello Raw Talent Scholarship program to benefit," says Dr. Rashed Elyas, CEO of Marinello Schools of Beauty. "Her personal ambition goes beyond herself to consider the impact her work can have on other people. Marinello Schools of Beauty is proud to have her as a student."

"It is my time to give back and make a difference in the lives of others," Wylie wrote.

The exclusive Raw Talent High School Scholarship program allows students to express their desires for a rewarding career in the Beauty Industry, offering $30,000 between five fortunate seniors each year. Scholarship candidates were required to submit an essay describing how they plan to make a difference as a professional in the Beauty Industry. Upon review, selected finalists from each category of Cosmetology and Esthetics are then challenged to showcase their creativity and talent for the skills portion of the competition. In addition to the $10,000 scholarship awarded Wylie, Marinello Schools of Beauty handed out four scholarships of $5,000 each.

About Marinello Schools of Beauty:

One of the premier beauty schools on the West Coast, Marinello Schools of Beauty (www.marinello.com) has defined beauty education since 1905. Offering a variety of Cosmetology and Esthetician programs at over 40 convenient campus locations, Marinello Schools of Beauty employs a "hands-on" approach to instruction that gives students the real-world skills they need to succeed.

Loan-Score’s PPE and AUS Platforms Integrated into Calyx Point

Author: Loan-Score Decisioning Systems
Dateline: San Jose, California (SAN JOSE, Calif.)  | Tue, 28 Sep 2010

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Calyx Software, the preferred mortgage solution provider for banks, credit unions, mortgage bankers and brokers, and Loan-Score Decisioning Systems, an enterprise-class pricing and automated underwriting provider, announced that the two companies have integrated their respective loan origination system and automated underwriting system.”



A R T I C L E:

Calyx Software®, the preferred mortgage solution provider for banks, credit unions, mortgage bankers and brokers, and Loan-Score Decisioning Systems, an enterprise-class pricing and automated underwriting provider, announced that the two companies have integrated their respective loan origination system (LOS) and automated underwriting system (AUS) to offer users access to automated pricing and underwriting for each investor as well as FHA eligibility decisions. The new functionality was released to all Calyx® Point® customers earlier this month.

The integration embeds Loan-Score's product and pricing engine (PPE) as well as its AUS within Point's user interface. Without ever leaving Point, customers can interact with Loan-Score, which then decisions off of all relevant fields in the 1003 and a tri-merged credit report. With the click of a button, Loan-Score's rules engine returns accurate pricing and an automated underwriting pre-approval that effectively simulates a human underwriter's decision. Users have real-time visibility of underwriting conditions and loan status in a centralized area within Point.

In addition, users can also utilize Loan-Score's AUS to access FHA TOTAL Scorecard via Web services while in Point. If the user submits a loan to the AUS and it is determined to be eligible for insurability by the FHA, a Loan-Score generated FHA certification is returned, which can then be sold to investors. The cost savings using Loan-Score's connectivity to Scorecard is significant.

"Our integration with Calyx is one of the most strategic initiatives we've taken to capture market share," says David Colwell, executive vice president of Loan-Score. "Embedding our Web-based application in Point provides Calyx users access to our comprehensive decisioning platform. We are the only non-agency AUS option in Point; the rest of the decisioning vendors are PPEs. We feel that this relationship has enormous growth potential for Loan-Score."

Notable is that Calyx has recently positioned itself to aggressively pursue more mortgage bankers than they have previously focused on. Because Loan-Score's primary focus is mortgage banks, the integrated solutions strengthens the ability of both companies to continue picking up substantial market share in the mortgage banker arena.

"We're elated to work with Loan-Score to offer our customers what we believe to be one of the leading SaaS-based decisioning capabilities in the industry," said Dennis Boggs, senior vice president, business development at Calyx. "The expected cost savings Loan-Score can deliver to our customers, among other efficiencies, is very compelling. Loan-Score's AUS alone, along with its interface to FHA TOTAL Scorecard, are two major differentiators from their competitors, which made the value of this integration clear-cut. We spent ample time performing our market research and this integration makes a great deal of business sense."

Calyx and Loan-Score will be offering demonstrations of the integration at the Mortgage Banking Association of America's 97th Annual Convention and Exposition at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA, October 24 - 26, 2010. Contact the companies to arrange a demo time at 949-450-0102 info@loan-score.com or 800-362-2599 or sales@calyxsoftware.com .

Savannah Economic Development Authority Board of Directors names new President and CEO

Author: Savannah Economic Development Authority
Dateline: Savannah, Georgia (SAVANNAH, Ga.)  | Tue, 28 Sep 2010

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “The Savannah Economic Development Authority's (SEDA) Board of Directors voted unanimously today to approve the recommendation from SEDA's Succession Planning Committee to name Steven W. Weathers the Authority's next president and CEO.”



A R T I C L E:

The Savannah Economic Development Authority's (SEDA) Board of Directors voted unanimously today to approve the recommendation from SEDA's Succession Planning Committee to name Steven W. Weathers the Authority's next president and CEO.

"Steven Weathers has been a dynamic force in economic development for more than 20 years," said Tommy Hester, chairman of the SEDA board of directors. "We look forward to him bringing new leadership, remarkable enthusiasm and a vast knowledge of economic development to Savannah as we continue to attract major investment from manufacturing, assembly and logistics industries, while also expanding our economy in new ways."

Weathers is currently president and CEO of Regional Growth Partnership, a private sector-driven and funded economic development company serving Toledo and northwest Ohio. He also serves as president and managing director of Rocket Ventures, a venture capital fund that serves as the "for profit" arm of RGP. Under his direction, RGP has helped attract 7,000 jobs, more than $800 million in new wages and $2.2 billion in new construction investment. Through Rocket Ventures, Weathers has been involved in starting 70 new technology-based companies and bringing 800 new high paying tech based jobs along with $50 million of new venture co-investment funds to the region. Previously, Weathers served as president and CEO of the Greater Tucson Economic Council and vice president of the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation.

"I cannot imagine a better and more exciting opportunity than to serve as the next president and CEO of SEDA, one of the most respected economic development organizations in the country," said Weathers. "I look forward to working with such an exceptional group of staff, board of directors and community leaders to attract new business to Savannah."

Lynn M. Pitts, SEDA senior vice president and interim president and CEO, was also a finalist for the position.

"Lynn has demonstrated invaluable leadership as SEDA's senior vice president and interim CEO," said Hester. "We look forward to his continued contribution in the role as SEDA's senior vice president. Our staff at SEDA has always been considered and in fact is one of the highest regarded and most effective economic development teams in the Country. Steve's addition to the team's already strong leadership group will undoubtedly enhance our ability to attract additional investment and jobs to our region."

The SEDA Succession Planning Committee was formed in August 2009. Appointed by immediate past SEDA Board Chairman Brian Foster and led by Committee Chair and current Vice-Chairman of the SEDA Board David Paddison, the committee included board members Brooks Stillwell, Shevon Carr, Kevin Jackson, Paul Hinchey and Brian Foster.

Throughout the fall of 2009, the committee held focus group sessions asking SEDA stakeholders to talk about what they wanted from the organization and its next leader. Based on the focus groups' feedback, the committee developed a job description and search specifications. The Succession Committee officially launched an exhaustive analysis of national executive search firms following the announcement last January that SEDA President Rick Winger would retire effective July 1, 2010.

In February, the board voted to conduct a national search and in May the search firm of Heidrick and Struggles was selected. Recognizing the search would still be in process at the time of Winger's departure, the board named SEDA Senior Vice President Lynn Pitts to the position of interim president and CEO on April 13. The Succession Planning Committee announced on Sept. 10 that Weathers and Pitts had been named finalists in the process.

"It has been a long, arduous and important process. The Succession Planning Committee members dedicated countless hours of their personal time, and none more so than Brooks Stillwell. I am grateful for their invaluable contributions to this effort and for the full board's confidence in our work," Paddison said.

Weathers will begin Nov. 8, 2010.

About SEDA:

The Savannah Economic Development Authority works to improve the standard of living for all citizens of Chatham County by stimulating the economy through the attraction of new investment, the creation of new jobs and the support of established businesses in the area.
