Five young women from Monrovia High School and their rhinestone-encrusted robot won the top Inspire Award at the Los Angeles FTC (FIRST Tech Challenge) Regional Championship Tournament held at Monrovia this past Saturday, the Monrovia High School Robotics Program announced today. Along with six other teams from cities ranging from Santa Barbara to San Diego, they advance to compete with top teams from eleven western states, Alaska and Hawaii in McClellan, Calif., near Sacramento on March 20-22, 2014 at the West Super-Regional FTC Championship.

These five junior class women - the "Kings and Queens" team - designed and built their own 18 by 18 inch robot from Tetrix parts, plexiglass, and machined aluminum to compete with alliances of robots on a 12 by 12 foot field. They stand out not just for their driving, design prowess, and their robot's ability to raise a flag and pull itself up on a bar. Heads turn as they drive their purple robot "Your Highness" while wearing their signature costumes of purple-velvet-and gold-embroidered renaissance dresses. They also spread the word of robotics design as they share their robot adventures with elementary and middle-school students around Monrovia.

Engineer and computer programming judges from major regional companies chose the team from among a field of the top 48 FTC robotics teams from throughout Southern California as the "role-model" team for their on-field success, teamwork, inspiration to others, representation of the First Robotics program to their school and community, and embodiment of "Gracious Professionalism," the core value of the FIRST program.

This win is the first Regional champion from Monrovia High School in its four-year-old FTC robotics program, supported by company sponsors and members of the community and led by physics teacher Tom Dobson. Monrovia High School advanced four teams to the Los Angeles Regional Championship, which drew winners from eight qualifier competitions from Los Angeles out to the High Desert. This high school FTC after-school program is one of many opportunities supporting STEM education (science, technology, engineering, and math) in conjunction with Monrovia's Math and Science Academy. A second of Monrovia High's four FTC Robotics teams, "Team R.E.D.," won an alternate spot for the Super-Regional tournament.

Winning teams in the West Super-Regional Competition will advance to the international championships in St. Louis, Mo. on April 23-26, 2014. The Monrovia High School FTC robotics program welcomes tax-deductible donations and company sponsorships to help cover the cost of traveling to Sacramento and hopefully on to St. Louis.

About FIRST:

Accomplished inventor Dean Kamen founded FIRST(R) (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) in 1989 to inspire an appreciation of science and technology in young people. Based in Manchester, N.H., FIRST designs accessible, innovative programs to build self-confidence, knowledge, and life skills while motivating young people to pursue opportunities in science, technology, and engineering. With support from over 200 of the Fortune 500 companies and more than $16 million in college scholarships, the not-for-profit organization hosts the FIRST(R) Robotics Competition (FRC(R)) for students in Grades 9-12; FIRST(R) Tech Challenge (FTC(R) ) for Grades 7-12; FIRST(R) LEGO(R) League (FLL(R)) for Grades 4-8; and Junior FIRST(R) LEGO(R) League (Jr.FLL(R)) for Grades K-3. Gracious Professionalism(R) is a way of doing things that encourages high-quality work, emphasizes the value of others, and respects individuals and the community.

About the FIRST Tech Challenge Competition (FTC):

In the FTC program, teams of middle and high school age teens design and build robots to address game challenges announced each September. Each robot must be built using only specified parts and materials, and the entire robot must occupy a space no larger than 18x18x18-inches at the start of each match. In this year's game, "Block Party," robots pick two-inch yellow plastic cubes from the floor and deposit them into elevated goals on a balance beam, raise a flag, and grab a bar suspended three-feet high and lift itself completely off the surface. Robots compete in five 2-1/2 minute matches over the course of four hours that combine a 30-second pre-programmed period using sensors and software written by the teams to drop blocks into goals marked with infrared beacons and navigate onto a wooden ramp, and a two minute teen-driven period using game controllers. Teams compete in pairs for the highest score, with the pairings randomly assigned, and a team's partner in one match can be their opponent in another.

More than 140 teams compete in the Los Angeles FTC Region from schools, community groups, and other organizations. Teams sign up each September and compete November through February in the region.

Chicago Native Jazz Vocalist Educator Lenora Zenzalai Helm Invited to Perform in Concert with the Durham Symphony Orchestra

Author: Lenora Helm Hammonds
Dateline: Chicago, Illinois (CHICAGO, Ill.)  | Thu, 27 Feb 2014

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Chicago native, and stunningly gifted vocalist, educator and founder of the progressive programs Vocal Musicianship Academy and Vocal Jazz Online, Lenora Zenzalai Helm, has received the coup honor of an invitation to be a featured singer in the program 'Durham Symphony Orchestra and All That Jazz.'”



ARTICLE:

Chicago native, and stunningly gifted vocalist, educator and founder of the progressive programs Vocal Musicianship Academy and Vocal Jazz Online, Lenora Zenzalai Helm has received the coup honor of an invitation to be a featured singer in the program "Durham Symphony Orchestra and All That Jazz."

The symphonic jazz concert will feature Helm singing the Benny Golson jazz standard "I Remember Clifford" (with strings) and a salute to Hamlet, N.C.-born John Coltrane via Rodgers & Hammerstein's "My Favorite Things" joined by Brian Horton (also a native of North Carolina) who wrote the arrangement.

The afternoon community event, which will showcase the works of historical North Carolina musicians and the state's Composer-of-the-Year Steven Bryant, takes place Sunday, March 2nd at the Carolina Theater in Durham.

This is quite an honor for Helm to be selected. "I am beyond ecstatic for the opportunity to work with Maestro Curry and the DSO," says Helm. "And, the icing on the cake is the privilege to sing an arrangement written for me by the very talented saxophonist/composer, Brian Horton. Wow! Pinch me, so I know I'm not dreaming!"

Though Helm has been a vocal professor at North Carolina Central University for several years, the lady actually hails from Chicago, Illinois - (Lindblom Technical High School - Class of 1979). She is also currently working on her doctorate from Boston University.

Maestro William Henry Curry, Principal Conductor of the 68-member Durham Symphony Orchestra and a prominent African-American in this country's classical music realm, states, "Lenora Helm is a local treasure as an educator, artist and inspirational person. She introduced herself to me a year or so ago. I enjoyed two of her jazz recordings and have just been waiting for the perfect opportunity to feature her with the symphony. I'm thrilled she was willing and available for this."

Now celebrating his fifth year with the DSO and his 18th season with the North Carolina Symphony, Curry continues, "One of my missions on every program is to play at least one piece by an American composer. American audiences love American music even if you pair it with Beethoven. I've been a performer for more than 45 years so I know what the audience likes. I exhibited this kind of Third Stream fusion at my very first concert here as Musical Director in a program that featured Gershwin as well as Louis Moreau Gottschalk whose music used melodic cells from plantation music and spirituals alongside Chopin and Schuman - a sensation in Europe. American symphony orchestras should feature American composers. When audiences have an opportunity to witness it, they love it."

DSO Executive Director Mary Sherk details, "The genesis of this concert came a year ago. We realized the incredible connections between orchestras and jazz composed of people here in N.C. This concert will illuminate that for the public. It is important to note we could not have done this without a grant from the North Carolina State Arts Council to which we are grateful and indebted. Arts councils have been cutting back on the state level so this is great. It's a competitive process but they evaluated this as worthy."

Noting the escalation of the event, Brett Chambers, Board of Directors President of the Durham Symphony Orchestra enthuses, "This has turned into a bigger thing than was first pitched. The idea is to create community engagement with the orchestra instead of just giving a concert. People love the arts here so there will be a pre-concert chat and a meet and greet afterward. We are shooting for this to become a signature annual event."

Speaking on the participation of Lenora Helm, Chambers concludes, "I've seen her perform a number of times and also appreciate the way she works with students. I brought her in, Maestro Curry was impressed, Lenora suggested Brian Horton as an arranger and now he is on the program. She is a wonderful artist and human being whose sincerity and passion for all she does shines through in her music."

Durham Symphony Orchestra and All That Jazz also features singers Lois Deloatch and Rozlyn Sorrell, saxophonist Gregg Gelb, jazz/classical bassist John Brown and his trio.

The Carolina Theatre is located at 309 West Morgan Street Durham, North Carolina.

Concert begins at 3 p.m. Sunday March 2, 2014 with a pre-concert chat at 2:30 p.m. with "Composer-of-the-Year" Steve Bryant. A meet and greet with Maestro Curry and other musicians will take place following the concert.

Oklahoma Dental Organization Helps People in Need – Combined Gift of $400,000 will Buy a New 40-Chair Equipment Trailer

Author: Delta Dental of Oklahoma
Dateline: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.)  | Thu, 27 Feb 2014

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “The number of Americans seeking help for dental-related pain at hospital emergency rooms is at a record high, says Delta Dental of Oklahoma. Dental ER visits increased from 1.1 million in 2000 to 2.1 million in 2010 and cost the healthcare system more than $2 billion annually.”



ARTICLE:

The number of Americans seeking help for dental-related pain at hospital emergency rooms is at a record high, says Delta Dental of Oklahoma. Dental ER visits increased from 1.1 million in 2000 to 2.1 million in 2010 and cost the healthcare system more than $2 billion annually.

One Oklahoma company is helping to provide relief for those in pain. Delta Dental of Oklahoma has joined with other member companies of the Delta Dental Plans Association to contribute $400,000 to the America's Dentists Care Foundation (ADCF) to expand its capability to help provide free dental care for those in need throughout the country.

The American Dentists Care Foundation (ADCF) provides the portable dental equipment necessary to conduct free dental clinics across the nation. A dental "Mission of Mercy" is a two-day, free dental event where hundreds of local dental professionals volunteer their time to provide cleanings, fillings, extractions and other services to adults and children in need in their community.

ADCF currently has three trailers, each containing the portable equipment required to conduct a Mission of Mercy with 100 dental chairs. In some locations, there is not enough space or volunteers to conduct a 100-unit clinic. The $400,000 donation from Delta Dental member companies will be used to create a 40-chair equipment trailer, allowing for Missions of Mercy to be held in such areas.

Over the past 13 years, Mission of Mercy events have helped over 135,000 patients and provided nearly $76 million in free dental care. Since 2011, Delta Dental member companies have donated $1,097,000 to ADCF for equipment to expand their capabilities.

The 2014 Oklahoma Mission of Mercy was held February 7-8 at the Chisholm Trail Expo Center in Enid and provided more than $1.3 million in dental care to 1,465 patients.

The Oklahoma Mission of Mercy, which is co-produced by the Oklahoma Dental Association, Oklahoma Dental Foundation and Delta Dental of Oklahoma Oral Health Foundation, is held the first weekend of each February in a different city.

"The Oklahoma Mission of Mercy is the perfect opportunity for us to help provide oral health services to Oklahomans in need while supporting the dental professionals who generously volunteer their time," says John Gladden, president and CEO of Delta Dental of Oklahoma. "We are proud to partner with other Delta Dental companies to help make the Mission of Mercy possible for other states as well."

Delta Dental of Oklahoma is a not-for-profit corporation providing dental benefit plans to individuals, families, small businesses and Fortune 500 corporations located across the state and nation. Through its Foundation, Delta Dental of Oklahoma has contributed more than $12 million to dental health and education related programs in Oklahoma since 1998.

For more information, visit http://www.deltadentalok.org/ .

Delta Dental Plans Association is comprised of 39 independent Delta Dental member companies operating in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Last year, Delta Dental companies donated more than $42 million throughout the country to support programs that focus on preventing dental disease, expanding access to care, and advancing dental science.

A photograph of the trailer is available on Dropbox at this link: http://goo.gl/WDaUeV .

Author: Titan Lenders Corp
Dateline: Denver, Colorado (DENVER, Colo.)  | Wed, 26 Feb 2014

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Titan Capital Solutions (TCS), a wholly-owned correspondent lending subsidiary of mortgage outsource services provider Titan Lenders Corp., today announced it has achieved significant growth in 2013, signing on 65 clients in its first full year of operations.”



ARTICLE:

Titan Capital Solutions (TCS), a wholly-owned correspondent lending subsidiary of mortgage outsource services provider Titan Lenders Corp., today announced it has achieved significant growth in 2013, signing on 65 clients in its first full year of operations.

"While TCS was founded in late 2012, we didn't begin accepting applications until the end of the first quarter of 2013 so the growth we've seen thus far is encouraging," said Mary Kladde, CEO of TCS. "The appetite for quality jumbo products continues to increase in private money circles, and we feel that we are strongly positioned for continued growth in 2014."

Of those 65 approved sellers, they break down as follows:
* 18 banks;
* 36 corporations;
* 9 limited liability corporations (LLCs);
* 1 limited partnership (LP); and
* 1 partnership.

Among the most popular products being sold to TCS are the jumbo 15-year fixed, 5/1 ARM and 7/1 ARM. Currently, TCS is offering purchase/rate-and-term refinances jumbo loans for less than or equal to $1M with a 690 FICO score and 80 percent loan-to-value (LTV) ratio. Most incoming loans spend 24-48 hours in underwriting and TCS's Whole Loan Purchase Review (WLPR) cycle.

"Overall, TCS' products feature very stable pricing and 'common sense' underwriting protocols," Kladde added. "Our focus is on 'Nothing but Jumbo,' and customer service is our mantra. We want to be our sellers' first choice for placement of their jumbo product. Why settle for being less than your investor's top priority?"

About Titan Capital Solutions:

Titan Capital Solutions, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Denver-based Titan Lenders Corp., was created to support a secondary/capital market strategy for the correspondent lending channel. TCS is committed to correspondent mortgage lending best practices and has been staffed with deeply experienced correspondent specialists. In addition, TCS embraces a leadership role in the restoration of a private investment marketplace for the mortgage industry.

Home Owners Now Can Build the Loan They Want with Shore Mortgage ‘Flex Term’

Author: United Shore Financial Services
Dateline: Troy, Michigan (TROY, Mich.)  | Tue, 25 Feb 2014

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Loan officers at Shore Mortgage - one of a select group of home lenders operating in all 50 states - are counseling clients right now on a new mortgage option that allows home owners to customize both the length of the loan and the payment like never before imagined.”



ARTICLE:

Loan officers at Shore Mortgage - one of a select group of home lenders operating in all 50 states - are counseling clients right now on a new mortgage option that allows home owners to customize both the length of the loan and the payment like never before imagined.

"At Shore Mortgage, we don't force people into a 'one size fits all' mortgage," David Hall, President of Shore Mortgage, said. "Because the home owner is in control of the loan, the Flex Term can be a valuable and responsible means to help manage your budget."

With the Shore Mortgage Flex Term home loan, those buying a home or refinancing can now pick how long they prefer the loan to be and, consequently, what the monthly payment will be. Terms are available from eight to 30 years giving home buyers and home owners never before seen flexibility.

With Flex Term, rates are fixed over the life of the loan; they will not adjust. Loan amounts range up to $417,000.

Hall cited examples of how a Flex Term could help a client refinance without resetting the term. "Let's say, for instance, you took out a mortgage six years ago," he said. "You want to take advantage of a more favorable rate, but you don't want to restart the clock back at 30 years. The Shore Mortgage Flex Term can give you a 24-year term with today's better interest rate."

Other examples of where Flex Term could be beneficial include:
* In a refinance situation, some may be able to keep the payment constant while shortening the loan's length.
* Clients could set a pay-off time to a certain personal milestone like a retirement or a child going to college.
* For investment properties, a Shore Mortgage Flex Term could help manage cash flow.
* Others could even eliminate costly private mortgage insurance by using the Flex Term to remortgage the property again without resetting the clock.

"Flex Term is customizable by family and can save thousands of dollars during the life of a loan," Hall said. "We can help clients trim interest off their loan or put more money in their pocket."

This example shows how Flex Term could save a client more than $150,000 in interest over the life of a loan.

2007
Original 30 Year Fixed Mortgage
Loan Amount: $250,000
Interest Rate: 6.00%
Monthly P&I Payment: $1,498.88
Total Interest Paid over life of the loan: $289,595.48

2014 Option I
30 Year Fixed Mortgage
Loan Amount: $225,000*
Interest Rate: 4.50%
Monthly P&I Payment: $1,140.04
Total Interest Paid over life of the loan: $185,415.10

Loan Amount: $225,000*
