TLANTA, GA /Send2Press Newswire/ -- Pretrieve (www.pretrieve.com) today announced the launch of their free, comprehensive public record search engine, making the collection of information about people and businesses from free internet sources more efficient and accessible to consumers. Pretrieve's unique service connects researchers to a variety of county, state, and national public records through categorized links that deliver users directly to their search results, not just the homepages.

"Finding public record information on the Internet has always been a challenge," said Paul Bunting, President of Pretrieve. "In our investigations, we found that the big search engines didn't go deep enough to find the searchable databases that we were looking for, and we needed a way to tap into the resources of the deep web. Our goal was to develop a specialized search engine for retrieving public record information that was familiar to operate but delivered results in a more meaningful way."

Pretrieve's public record search engine offers users the ability to quickly corroborate facts about people or businesses from official sources. Homeowners can perform a background check on their service contractors, child care providers, or even search for sexual offenders and parolees that may be living in the neighborhood quickly and at no cost. With Pretrieve, small business owners, legal researchers, private investigators, real estate appraisers and other professionals now have multiple public record sources right at their fingertips.

"We've seen a sharp increase in the number of visits to our website from consumers who are curious about what information is available about themselves, their neighbors, and their community," said Bunting. "In the wake of recent news stories regarding data security breeches at information companies that may have resulted in criminals accessing personal information, as well as concerns over extended access to personal information through the Patriot Act, there has been heightened interest in public records from consumers."

Pretrieve LLC is a privately owned, Atlanta-based company, focused on developing deep web search engine technology for public record retrieval. Pretrieve licenses its search technology to information providers that seek to enhance their product's value by integrating access to free data sources.

Euro Leaders Support Native American Olympic Inclusion

Author: Native Voices Foundation (NVF)
Dateline: Fri, 25 Feb 2005

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “VEYSONNAZ, Switzerland and ASPEN, CO /Send2Press Newswire/ -- At French Princess Caroline Murat's recent '1st Ski and Music Festival in Veysonnaz' (part of 4 valleys, including Verbier), a team of Europe's Who's Who stepped up to champion Native American inclusion in future Olympic Games as Sovereign Nations, announced Native Voices Foundation (NVF).”



A R T I C L E:

VEYSONNAZ, Switzerland and ASPEN, CO - Feb. 25, 2005 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- At French Princess Caroline Murat's recent "1st Ski and Music Festival in Veysonnaz" (part of 4 valleys, including Verbier), a team of Europe's Who's Who stepped up to champion Native American inclusion in future Olympic Games as Sovereign Nations, announced Native Voices Foundation (NVF).



Caption: Celebrating Veysonnaz Switzerland as the Training Center for the Native American Olympic Ski Team - L to R: Tulalip speed ski champ Stew Young, Veysonnaz owner Jean Marie Fournier, Ski and Music Festival host Princess Caroline Murat, and Olympic/Freestyle ski champ Suzy Chaffee.

Stew Young, a member of the newly-formed Native American Ski Team and World Cup speed skier from the Tulalip "Killer Whale" Tribe, and Olympic skier Suzy Chaffee, co-chair of NVF, had come as special guests of the Credit Suisse-sponsored event. Chaffee and Young's intent was also to meet with IOC officials in nearby Lausanne to discuss how to create more opportunities for Indian youth in future Games. Running into an IOC roadblock, NVF Euro leader, Princess Murat (world-renowned pianist inspired by a Ute Chief in Aspen), rallied her friends to give the Americans a hand. Included were Jean Marie Fournier, owner of the Veysonnaz Swiss Ski Resort, Francoise Zweifel, former Secretary General of the IOC, and Princess Lea of Belgium, joined by NVF's other leaders, Olympian Prince Albert of Monaco (adopted by Lakota-Sioux Tribe), and the Guinness's, the most ancient tribe of Ireland.


Canada Leads Way

Following the brilliant IOC Eco recommendation to include Indigenous Peoples in the Olympics to enhance their sustainability, spearheaded by President Jacques Rogge, "the First Nations of Canada received a $3 million Legacy Fund from the Vancouver Olympic Organizers, to train a team of Snowboarders, with the help of our Olympians, to compete our 2010 Games," said Aaron Marchant of the Squamish Nation near Whistler.
"Likewise our focus for the IOC meeting was the tribal-oriented Vancouver Games," said Billy Kidd (Abenaki), captain of the Native American Ski Team and 1964 Alpine Silver Medalist. Only one Native American, Naomi Lang (Cal Karuk Tribe), 5x US Ice Dancing Champion, has competed in the last two Games, and only a handful in history. Yet a group of world Olympians at the Athens Games honored the American Indians for inventing the roots of 10 Olympic sports.

Not used to defeat, Princess Murat, the closest descendent of Napoleon, rallied her friends, many guests of the festival that showcased some of the "awesome" progeny of Europe, like 15 yr old Russian violist Sasha Saume, elated to have Native American and Olympic/Freestyle stars teach them to ski. "We were amazed how Zweifel offered to graciously guide us with the IOC; Princess Lea offered to hand deliver a letter to her countryman, President Rogge; Fournier (and Princess Caroline) announced on Swiss TV that Veysonnaz, with its fun apres ski Tipi on top, will host a Native American Olympic Ski Team Training Center."

"Indian Country so appreciates how Princess Caroline and her friends are fighting to open the Olympic doors for our youth to be able to dream and realistically have a chance to compete in future Olympic Games. Especially after feeling unwelcome after IOC/USOC President Avery Brundage illegally took away Jim Thorpe's medals," said Young.

The question on everyone's minds there was: could the American Indians prove they are Sovereign Nations?
Back in America, Oren Lyons, Chief of the Onondaga Nation of the Iroquois Confederacy, supplied the legal ramifications: Considering: The existence of the treaty relationships between the United States and sovereign Indian Nations: "Indian Nations preexist the United States... Indian Nation Sovereignty is recognized and protected by the U.S. Constitution, legal precedent, and treaties, as well as applicable principles of Human Rights." -- from joint occasional papers on Native Affairs no. 200403 (from book, "Myths and Realities of Tribal Sovereignty: The Law and Economics of Indian Self Rule" by Joseph Kalt [Harvard's JFK School of Government & Native American Economic Development], and William Singer [Native Nations Institute at Udall Center for Studies of Public Policy at U. Arizona.])

Further: "The Iroquois Nationals (traveling under Haudenosaunee Passport) compete in the International Lacrosse Federation's (ILF) World Championships (Iroquois-invented game), and currently rank 4th behind USA, Canada and Australia," said Chief Lyons, Grand Master Lacrosse player, CEO of Iroquois Nationals Team, and history professor at U of Buffalo.

Native Americans are on the lowest economic ladder in America with a 20 year less life expectancy..., and are "still too depressed (from the abusive government boarding schools...) to want to get healthy," according to a Senate study. Sports, especially skiing in their ancestral lands, have been found to be the No. 1 motivator of Indian youth, and now over 100 ski areas want to welcome their tribes to ski and snowboard to "start a new beginning," inspired also by the economic-lifting snow ceremonies the tribes have shared.

"Through the IOC's opening their doors to welcome American Indian Nations into the Olympic Family, as Sovereign Nations, Native youth can finally get the health, appreciation, encouragement, healing,and sponsors to train teams in some of the sports they invented to be able to compete with honor in future Games. This is also the best chance to preserve our quality of life, and our 100 year old Modern Olympics to last as long as the Ancient Olympics, which lasted 1,000 years," said Chaffee.

NVF is a Colorado non-profit 501(c)3. It is a partnership of US Tribal leaders and Olympians whose mission is to create joyful unity through sports to help preserve Mother Earth for all our children.

In February 2005, the network started podcasting their MP3 format shows. The addition of the shows to many popular podcasting directories brought in even more listeners.

The Daily Dig will be introducing a new host, Jon Dougherty later this week. Dougherty brings a unique perspective from his many years as a respected print and radio journalist.

The network will continue to add new and innovative programming in the near future in response to its listener's demands.

The Enigma Radio Network is pleased to be involved in podcasting. Kathleen Keating stated that, "No one should be force-fed programming. People have the right to listen to what they want - when they want it."

Author: Alien Apparatus Company, Inc.
Dateline: Tue, 22 Feb 2005

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “PHILADELPHA, Pa. (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Alien Apparatus Company, Inc. releases Solo Performer Show Controller version 2.0. Solo Performer Show Controller is a system for controlling the background music, lyrics displays, MIDI effects, and light shows for musicians.

A R T I C L E:

PHILADELPHA, Pa. (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Alien Apparatus Company, Inc. releases Solo Performer Show Controller version 2.0. Solo Performer Show Controller is a system for controlling the background music, lyrics displays, MIDI effects, and light shows for musicians. The system consists of a six-button foot controller that connects to a computer via USB, and software that runs on Windows and Macintosh.

Solo Performer Show Controller plays mp3 files, aiff files, wave files, and MIDI files. It can control MIDI effects units, lights that operate using the industry-standard DMX512 protocol, and can display lyrics on-screen in a karaoke-like manner. The software also includes a utility for stripping out unwanted tracks in MIDI files so that only the rhythm tracks play.

In this new release, Solo Performer Show Controller can now send MIDI files to external MIDI devices, change MIDI effects settings automatically, send hotkey commands to control other running applications, and redefine the button functions on the foot controller.

The Solo Performer Show Controller System is currently the only system available for controlling a show that seamlessly integrates audio, MIDI, and DMX512 lighting capabilities. With its six-button foot controller, a guitar player could, for example, play a show in front of an audience and have all of the backing rhythm tracks play from the system while it controls the lights and changes the singer's vocal reverb during the choruses.

Solo Performer Show Controller is available for both Windows and Macintosh computer systems. For more information on the product, or to order online, visit www.alienapparatus.com.

DAYTON, OH /Send2Press Newswire/ -- Ohio Adnet LLC (www.ohioadnet.com) capitalizes on local Web searches by Ohio consumers.

The job search area connects you with Ohio employers and other career resources. Additionally, the personals search area connects you with other Ohio singles for romance, friendship, or marriage.

Marlon R. Aldridge, a native of Dayton, Ohio, started the consumer information Web site to take advantage of the trend toward local Web searches. According to the Kelsey Group, more than 25% of commercial searches on the Internet are local. A growing number of consumers want to do business with companies and individuals within their local area. He plans to capitalize on this trend. According to a survey by the National Association of Realtors, the Internet is now the number two medium for reaching home buyers second only to yards signs, and 75 percent of consumers use the Web in their home searches. Car dealers and employment agencies use the Internet as their most cost effective means of attracting new customers and the trend is growing significantly.

"All of our marketing dollars focus on driving Ohio consumers to our Web site," says Aldridge. "We use paid search as our primary means of attracting customers as well as opt-in email campaigns. You will usually find us within the first two pages of the search results when you are confining your searches to Ohio only." As Ohio Adnet generates revenues it will add other marketing channels such as TV, radio, and newspaper.

Ohio Adnet is looking for car dealers, real estate agents and brokers, employment agencies, and individuals to help it fill its database. "We are not just a simple, text-only classified ad Web site; we give you the option to upload a photo for your home, auto, and personals ads," Marlon says. "Right now until we can get sufficient listings in our database, all of the listings except advertising space are free."

Camouflage Wristbands Raise Money to Support U.S. Troops

Author: Nevada Benefits Foundation
Dateline: Thu, 17 Feb 2005

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “LAS VEGAS, NV /Send2Press Newswire/ -- Freedom is the cornerstone of our American values. Many courageous men and women in this great nation have made a choice to join the active duty military, the National Guard, or the Reserves to guard and protect freedom for all of us. All Americans have a choice to help support these heroes, regardless of how we feel about the war, through the programs offered by the Nevada Benefits Foundation.”

LAS VEGAS, NV /Send2Press Newswire/ -- Freedom is the cornerstone of our American values. Many courageous men and women in this great nation have made a choice to join the active duty military, the National Guard, or the Reserves to guard and protect freedom for all of us. All Americans have a choice to help support these heroes, regardless of how we feel about the war, through the programs offered by the Nevada Benefits Foundation (www.defendingfreedom.net).

Phil Randazzo, a Las Vegas businessman, has taken the initiative to help raise money to support our troops through two programs; the sale of "Defending Freedom" wrist bands and an "adopt a reservist" program. To date, these two programs, along with a locally held rally, have raised over $40,000. Randazzo's ultimate goal for the foundation is to raise and donate over one million dollars in 2005.

For a minimal donation of $3, the Defending Freedom wristband will symbolize heartfelt support of our troops and their families. All of the proceeds from contributions go to the Armed Forces Relief Trust (www.afrtrust.com).

Wear your Defending Freedom wristband proudly - everyday - wherever you go! Wristbands can be ordered to be worn proudly, or can be donated to our troops overseas from the website, www.defendingfreedom.net.

415,000 families are not only missing a loved one, but missing the financial ability to support themselves. In some cases, families are suffering a 70% decrease in salary compared to their civilian job. This means many are struggling to even clothe and feed their families. With that fact in mind, the "adopt a reservist" program was developed which puts people, willing to give support, directly in contact with a reservist family. No middle man.

"Our next endeavor will be our own documentary to spread the message to support the troops," says founder, Phil Randazzo, who will be traveling the country for three months eating nothing but MREs (what our troops eat when deployed) and sleeping in his vehicle while informing people of ways in which they can help support our troops.

See the website www.defendingfreedom.net for more general information about the organization.

CSIRO Forms Alliance With Australian Thermal Desalination Company

Dateline: Wed, 16 Feb 2005

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “STAPLYTON, Australia /Send2Press Newswire/ -- CSIRO, Australia's top scientific research organization has formed an alliance with thermal desalination specialist, Aqua Dyne Inc. (OTC:BB AQDY) to conduct research into water purification and water remediation, which will initially focus on the use of solar energy for water desalination. ”



A R T I C L E:

STAPLYTON, Australia /Send2Press Newswire/ -- CSIRO, Australia's top scientific research organization has formed an alliance with thermal desalination specialist, Aqua Dyne Inc. (OTC:BB AQDY) to conduct research into water purification and water remediation, which will initially focus on the use of solar energy for water desalination.

The first step will involve the relocation of the Aqua Dyne pilot plant, from Staplyton (half way between Brisbane and the Gold Coast) to CSIRO's Queensland Centre for Advanced Technology in the Brisbane suburb of Pinjarra Hills.

The flexibility of the Aqua Dyne JetWater system design allows it to be used for a wide range of desalination requirements ranging from seawater, brackish groundwater and remediation of industrial waste water, as well as the ability to co-generate with a variety of industrial plant and equipment.

The Aqua Dyne plant, which will be located at the CSIRO research facility, is expected to be in operation in June this year with the solar research project to be completed towards the end of 2005.

The CSIRO Division of Exploration and Mining will be responsible for the research activities with Commonwealth funding to be applied for on a project-by-project basis.

This will be a world-first research plant with the solar energy project having enormous potential for remote mining areas and more widely for remote townships in coastal and inland Australia and throughout the world.

CSIRO Research Scientist Mr. Pat Glynn said that combining known solar technology to the Aqua Dyne thermal desalination technology has very wide potential as it overcomes the greenhouse gas issue which occurs as a result of the use of electricity or diesel power for desalination.

"Our initial research indicates that we will need solar collecting panels of 1000 square metres in area to produce 1/2 mega litre of desalinated water per day," said Glynn.

"This size will also produce surplus steam with the potential to run a generator capable of an output of sufficient electricity that could be used in the mine, or township, or sold to the grid."

"The other potential benefit is that the use of solar projects has the potential to slash the price of the desalinated water by 50 to 60 per cent to only 15 to 30 cents per kilolitre which compares to the 70 to 80 cents currently charged by Queensland Councils for water derived from rainwater stores in dams."

"If we take this financial modeling even further into the agricultural sector we could even be contemplating the potential future drought-proofing of Australia," Mr. Glynn said.
