   LOS ANGELES, Calif., Nov. 20 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Craig X Rubin faces years in prison and another trial at the taxpayers expense, as cannabis is something most Californians think should be legal. Recent polls show that 74 percent of residents in California favor taxing and regulating the herb, as opposed to prosecuting offenders. Most Americans know Craig from his stint on Showtime's "Weeds," or one of the many films he's been in, from Super High Me to Totally Baked; but they might soon know him by his prisoner number, as he is facing five years in prison in just a few days. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Rubin is a proponent of pot, having contributed to the final wording of Proposition 215; this real life pastor and college teacher is a graduate of UCLA. He is a full-time pastor at the Family Church in Pasadena and teaches a course to students at the Union Bible College called, The Jewish History of the New Testament, where he emphasizes the fact that the New Testament writers and Jesus himself were all Jewish.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Rubin is more than upset about the arrest, having spent seven days in jail where he dropped 16 pounds, claiming that he didn't eat for seven days. Rubin is not claiming he wasn't fed, but saying the food wasn't consumable. Rubin has a lot of complaints saying, "This prosecution is completely political retribution because of my outspoken stance in favor of cannabis against city officials who waste taxpayers money."&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Rubin has named DEA agents by name as being petty thieves when his Temple 420 was raided three years ago and has the video to back up his statements; he has named the officer who testified against him as a perjurer and again has video evidence (that was not allowed in court); he is an outspoken critic of LAPD Narcotics Division, who Rubin alleges have stolen millions of dollars from people they arrest, pointing out that drugs are a cash business and the temptation is great. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Recently he and another pastor did an investigation of Building and Safety officers in Los Angeles and uncovered what appeared to be the taking of bribes as well as death threats from city employees writing on public web sites about shooting their city managers and fellow co-workers; pointing out when this goes down who is going to say, there were red flags. "The city doesn't look into any of this stuff, but goes after the person uncovering it," claims Rubin.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Rubin claims he was given permission by the probation department and Judge Drew Edwards on May 15, 2008, in the court where he was convicted of possessing and selling marijuana, to own and operate a marijuana facility (club). Trutanich has proposed a law that would affect only Rubin as it is already illegal to own and operate a medical pot club while on probation without judges' and probation's permission; but a new proposed ordinance would now make it law. The only person of the 1,400 clubs in Los Angeles this changes things for is Rubin.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
The Pastor was given permission by the probation department and even has an email from Asha Greenberg dated October 21, 2009 stating," We have no intention to prosecute at this point." Rubin says of the prosecution, "It is unjust, as I would have been closed had it not been for the email from Asha Greenberg the day before saying she wasn't going to prosecute." At court it was testified to that Asha Greenberg, Deputy District Attorney, was the one who initiated the arrest of the pastor less than 24 hours after writing they wouldn't prosecute for zoning violations. The entire investigation is dedicated to the fact that Rubin is unlicensed, when in fact he is licensed, and showed officers that fact on the day of the arrest; so they changed the charges to alleged child abuse -- charges the judge immediately threw out the first day in court saying, "It is obvious to the court that Rubin went out of his way to protect the young man and make (sure) he was never near marijuana."&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Rubin, on the day of his arrest, his day off, picked up a young man from his church and took him to buy a suit, shoes and a dress shirt. He then stopped by his wife's T-shirt shop (Tara's, at 2366 Robertson Blvd.) to get the kid a T-shirt. Rubin owns a medical marijuana club next door to his wife's shop. Two police officers entered the shop and asked if the owner of the medical club was in. Rubin, having been there for only five minutes, greeted the men, explained how he ran a church-run cannabis dispensary, invited them to his church in Pasadena and offered to answer any of their Bible questions. After presenting ID showing they were qualified patients to buy medical marijuana, which was verified by Dr. James Eisenberg a licensed Calif. M.D., the police then asked to go next door. Since it was Rubin's day off he did not join them, but stayed with the young man from his church. Within minutes officers entered Rubin's wife's store without a warrant, claiming because Rubin was there it suddenly gave them the right to search the place. That would be akin to searching Macy's because someone on probation was there.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Officers pointed a loaded weapon at the head of an unarmed 11-year child who ran from them and then asked the boy to handle strange pit-bulls that he had never met before. Officers then searched Tara Rubin's business without a warrant and arrested the mayoral candidate on charges of alleged "child abuse." When the preliminary hearing came about, it was obvious the DA couldn't make a case for child abuse and Rubin had all valid permits to be operating his medical marijuana club, which the pastor operates as a church; but it seems that the Constitution doesn't mean anything these days anyway. At Rubin's last trial the judge ruled Rubin could not even mention the U.S. Constitution for fear it "might confuse the jury." In the current case the DA is now claiming that Rubin is not a qualified caregiver and therefore should go to jail for years.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Rubin, a Glenn Beck fan, says "Our Constitution is gone anyway when government agents can get normal law abiding citizens to do acts they are told are legal and then arrest them for it." Rubin had permission from a judge, the probation department, a license from the City of Los Angeles for Selling Medical Marijuana, and he paid his taxes for the medical marijuana he sold on time. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Rubin doesn't understand where the crime is; but the taxpayers of Calif. could be paying to lock him away for up to 12 years starting this Monday if Steven Cooley and Carmen Trutanich get their way. Rubin won't see the last four of his seven children graduate high school. Cooley recently stated, "100 percent of medical marijuana clubs are illegal," and has decided to start with the prosecution of the Pastor and his church once again.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Rubin's wife and children are currently living in a hotel as the city has once again taken all of the money the family had. The pastor is sleeping on the floor of his church as he tries to sell the lease and raise money for his family prior to his incarceration. Says Rubin, "Personally, I think Cooley and Trutanich should spend a week in County Jail. They stole the money my wife worked for over the last six months and the funds were in no way commingled with the church's money. These guys are thieves stealing peoples lives savings without a hearing prior to any conviction."&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
The DA's office is acting like a criminal organization threatening to jail council woman Jan Perry, going after homeless people, threatening one of the city's best corporate contributors (AEG) and now trying to lock up a pastor with a licensed church, a specialty permit who is only trying to help sick people. At what point does America start to look like the Soviet Union?&lt;br/&gt;

   LAKE BENTON, Minn., Nov. 20 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The Sirolli Institute is proud to announce Lake Benton was the first American community to adopt the Sirolli Institute's internationally acclaimed "Enterprise Facilitation&amp;reg;" concept which has captured the imagination of more than 40,000 small businesses worldwide.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Through "Enterprise Facilitation," civic leaders learn how to capture local intelligence. The program trains a full-time, local advisor - the Enterprise Facilitator - to introduce the fundamentals of good management to aspiring entrepreneurs and small business operators within the community. Imagine your community could consult a free and confidential "Family Doctor of Business?"&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Dr. Sirolli said. "It's terrific to be going back to Lincoln County on November 23rd 2009. with the people who trusted me and sparked my imagination, so many years ago The people of Lincoln County showed they had the passion and commitment to achieve something great from something very little - and communities have recognized this and have followed suit in a big way."&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
"The idea I had was to help people do what they had a passion for. I started with respect, for their energy and determination, and then I did anything I could to see them succeed, to create real and profitable business ventures," Sirolli said.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
In 1989, Dr. Sirolli and Master Facilitator, Brian Willoughby from Australia's first project in Esperance in 1985, trained the volunteer Board of Management and the Enterprise Facilitator Vince Robinson and the Lincoln County Enterprise Development Corporation has managed beautifully since then.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Says Vince Robinson: "It never ceases to amaze me how so many people in our little corner of the world can have such passion for being business owners. It is always such a thrill for me to work with individuals who are able to turn a yearning for a better life into rewarding business ventures. It has been a great privilege for me, to have had the opportunity to work with such wonderful people over the past twenty years. Their enthusiasm and perseverance are what keep me motivated."&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
One of the cornerstones of the &lt;a href="http://www.sirolli.com" target="_blank"&gt;Enterprise Facilitation&lt;/a&gt; program is to engage a local advisory group to help support the Enterprise Facilitator's role in the community. This group becomes the facilitator's point of entry to the people within the community and it provides the collective genius and network in support of a multitude of new and expanding local businesses. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Joyce Dass from Lincoln County says: "Being a founding member of the steering committee that resulted in the creation of Lincoln County Enterprise Development Corporation, I am gratified to look back on the many positive impacts we have made in the last 20 years. We are proud of the accomplishments of the entrepreneurs we have served and look forward to a bright future by continuing to assist the enterprising people of Lincoln County."&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Dr. Sirolli said that no entrepreneur can "do it, sell it and keep the books" equally well and that Enterprise Facilitation is about stopping entrepreneurs from "dying of solitude."&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Dr. Sirolli says that Enterprise Facilitation teaches clients to form a team to produce the product (or service), market it and manage the finances. The team is probably easily assembled in the community and the power of it is immense. "After all this is the way Wal-Mart started. It was Sam, his wife Helen and her father who started the business and people tend to forget that every successful company from Disney to Google has been set up by more than one person," Sirolli says.&lt;br/&gt;

KIRKLAND, Wash., Nov. 20 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Long term care insurance may not seem like headline news or talk-show fare, but Denise Gott pursues the topic with passion and flair. "I'm on a mission to wake up America," she says. Her message is now appearing on CNN newscasts in the nation's airports and broadcasts on Delta Air Line flights. Gott is Chairman of the Board of LTC Financial Partners LLC (LTCFP) - &lt;a href="http://www.ltcfp.com" target="_blank"&gt;www.ltcfp.com&lt;/a&gt; - one of the nation's largest and most experienced long-term care insurance agencies.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
"We all know health care is an issue," she says. "What most Americans don't know is that 3 in 4 of us will need long term care after we turn 65, and we're not prepared for it." She delivers this message in a video now playing in major airports, as well as on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpGQRjCs3AA. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Gott gives more details in an audio interview broadcast by Sky Radio on Delta flights: &lt;a href="http://www.ltcfp.us/SkyRadio-Gott2.mp3" target="_blank"&gt;www.ltcfp.us/SkyRadio-Gott2.mp3&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br/&gt;

"People will still need private long term care insurance to cover everything." Lack of LTC protection is widely considered the single biggest financial risk American's face, she points out.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Gott has had nibbles from talk shows and may soon be taking her message to a wider audience. "Virtually every American family is at risk," she says. "Women are especially vulnerable because they're usually the default caregivers when there's no insurance."&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Information on long term care insurance carriers and costs is available at &lt;a href="http://www.ltchotline.com" target="_blank"&gt;www.ltchotline.com&lt;/a&gt; and maintained by Gott's organization.&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
BARCELONA, Spain, Nov. 19 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- In conjunction with the launch of ElectionMall's new ElectionMall.EU website, Ravi Singh, CEO of ElectionMall Technologies, will be speaking in Barcelona, Spain at the first ever European conference held by the Personal Democracy Forum. For the last six years, the Personal Democracy Forum has served as a hub for American politicos, government enthusiasts, and technology fans to gather and share information on the Internet and how it is changing the American political landscape. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
The Personal Democracy Forum has recognized the growing interest among European politicians to create a more transparent and engaging political process, one of the side effects of Barack Obama's campaign in 2008. Ravi Singh will be focusing his speech on Social Networking sites, and how these are an effective tool for expanding participation for all politicians and voters&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
At this event, ElectionMall will re-launch &lt;a href="http://www.ElectionMall.eu" target="_blank"&gt;ElectionMall.eu&lt;/a&gt; - its new website dedicated to tailoring technology to European political and cultural behaviors. Currently, 76 percent of European Internet users are utilizing social networking sites, and there is a high internet penetration in most countries. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
"The first ever PDF conference to be held in Europe is an ideal venue for the re- launch of ElectionMall.EU," stated Singh. "I could not be more excited about sharing our best practices with the European market and helping them start their own political Internet revolution."&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.electionmall.com" target="_blank"&gt;ElectionMall&lt;/a&gt; has decided to re-release its new website after the company received numerous requests from European politicians for insights on utilizing the Internet for their campaigns. Previously, the company has worked with several members of the EU Parliament, using its Brussels office as an ElectionMall Europe headquarters. The Brussels office stands as a division of ElectionMall's international franchises, such as the offices in Mexico City, in addition to newly opened offices in Ukraine and Malaysia. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
"The EU has a lot of potential for growth in this area. ElectionMall has recognized it, and now so has PDF, and I'm happy to just be a part of it," comments Singh. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;

TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 19 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- "In Defense Of Thomas Jefferson" (ISBN: 978-0-312-56100-0), has just been published by St. Martins Press and concerns the major historical controversy surrounding Mr. Jefferson and his slave, Sally Hemings. "In Defense" definitively destroys the cultural myth that Jefferson had any relationship with Ms. Hemings.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
The belief that Thomas Jefferson had an affair and fathered a child (or children) with slave Sally Hemings -- and that such an allegation was proven by DNA testing -- has become so pervasive in American popular culture that it is not only widely accepted but taught to students as historical fact. In this startling and revelatory argument, William G. Hyland Jr. shows not only that the evidence against Jefferson is lacking, but that in fact he is entirely innocent of the charge of having sexual relations with Hemings.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
A "thorough survey of the scholarly and scientific literature ... Mr. Hyland, a lawyer, presents the historical record carefully and, closer to our day, provides marvelous details of the scholarly empire-building and grantsmanship that go into making 'fact' out of limited evidence -- in this case and others. By the end of 'In Defense of Thomas Jefferson,' it is hard not to conclude that, given the revisionist impulses of American historians today, Jefferson should have put pen to paper after all," says Thomas Lipscomb, The Wall Street Journal.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;

   ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 19 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- A &lt;a href="http://www.drugsno.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Narconon&lt;/a&gt; Drug Rehab graduate will be enjoying time with his family - a family, which, for three years, didn't know if he was alive or dead. For the past three holiday seasons, Michael's family pretended a holiday joy, and told others that Michael was off doing construction jobs. In their hearts, they feared he was dead.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
But Michael's parents continued to email. His mother told counselors at Narconon &lt;a href="http://www.drugsno.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Drug Rehab&lt;/a&gt; of Georgia: "We did not know if he was getting the emails but told him how much we loved him and gave news about the family. We begged him to let us know if he was alive." But there was no word.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Meanwhile, Michael was busy feeding his &lt;a href="http://www.drugsno.com/drug-addiction/" target="_blank"&gt;drug addiction&lt;/a&gt;. Too ashamed to call his family, he describes himself as "out of my mind with Oxycontin and Xanax." &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
One day Michael's father e-mailed the news that his grandmother was dying. The doctors felt she was only staying alive to see her grandson. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
To their surprise, they got an e-mail asking for help. Michael had taken so much Oxycontin and Xanax that he was fearful he might be dead before they received his email but wasn't ready give up. Alone and embarrassed, he prayed for help.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Overjoyed, Michael's mother spent 13 hours online looking for the right addiction treatment center. "Of all the places I called, Narconon of Georgia was first to get back to me. The intake counselor even offered to go pick my son up in another city and their success rate was impressive."&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
The next day her son arrived at Narconon drug rehab. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
He recently graduated the Narconon program and for the first time in years, Michael will be with his family over the holidays.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
His mother says, "It is so wonderful to have the old Michael back. He has a sense of humor and looks us in the eye." &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
His father adds, "In the past years I would cover up for Michael. Now I am proud to describe what he has accomplished by going through Narconon Drug Rehab of Georgia. What he did in the past may have been an embarrassment to him, but when I look at him today I am proud of what he has accomplished and how the Narconon program has helped him so much in such a short amount of time. He has a whole lifetime ahead and he is ready to face the world." &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
"Christmas has already happened for us."&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Narconon of Georgia is offering holiday scholarships. More information: &lt;a href="http://www.drugsno.com/" target="_blank"&gt;www.drugsno.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br/&gt;

   ORANGE, Calif., Nov. 19 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- ENow, Inc., innovative leaders in the development of software and authors of the award-winning Mailscape V4.4, announced today the formal launch of Mailscape V4.5. Mailscape is a complete systems management tool that combines all the key elements for &lt;a href="http://www.enowinc.com" target="_blank"&gt;Exchange monitoring, reporting and administration&lt;/a&gt; into a single, affordable solution.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
The highly-anticipated launch of V4.5 delivers customizable reporting that gives administrators complete flexibility in not only how they create reports, but also how they disseminate the information. Traditional reporting products only allow you to email a report, resulting in static data, but with Mailscape V4.5's Personalized Dashboards, each key role in your organization can have access to only the reports they need to see via our one-look dashboard that automatically self-generates.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
In addition, our proactive monitoring capabilities go beyond traditional tools that only monitor basic components, such as service availability and uptime. Mailscape V4.5 performs regular health checks of all the vital components in your messaging system, such as mail flow, OWA, and BlackBerry, to ensure they are functioning optimally. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
"One of the many challenges faced by the reporting industry is developing software that is customizable enough to meet the unique needs every organization has," remarks Curtis Blake, ENow's Chief Technology Officer. "The beauty of our solution is that it gives you that customization, yet remains simple enough so that everyone can use it without training."&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
"The graphical display of data makes it easy enough that the Help Desk can quickly diagnose the cause of a problem and take a more active role in monitoring the system. Plus, the customizable reporting makes it easy to create very complex queries," states Lasse Pettersson, Exchange MVP. "Overall, Mailscape is a very impressive solution, and one that sets itself apart from the competition." &lt;br/&gt;

(SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- A California entrepreneur has put up a Web portal called 'Buy My Mom's House' (BuyMyMomsHouse.com) to help sell his mom's house in Pasadena Hills (St. Louis) Missouri, which has been on the market for a year and, while sitting idle for open houses, has been eating through mom's savings.</summary><content type="text/html" mode="escaped">

   PASADENA HILLS, Mo., Nov. 18 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- A California entrepreneur has put up a Web portal called "Buy My Mom's House" (&lt;a href="http://www.BuyMyMomsHouse.com" target="_blank"&gt;BuyMyMomsHouse.com&lt;/a&gt;) to help sell his mom's house in Pasadena Hills (St. Louis) Missouri, which has been on the market for a year and, while sitting idle for open houses, has been eating through mom's savings.&lt;br/&gt;
 &lt;br/&gt;
According to Christopher Simmons, who put up the site, "What is this Web site all about? Well, my mom is now alone since my father passed away in 2003, and since my grandma passed away 2 years ago, my mother moved to a California community called Victorville which, where she lives, is made up of retirees. She is on a fixed income, has no retirement income other than social security, and needs to sell this house to live on for the rest of her life, literally."&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
The lovely 3-bedroom, 1.5 bath Colonial home is close to the University of Missouri-St. Louis (UMSL), and is an ideal first family home since it qualifies for the $8,000 first time buyer credit, and a $3,000 St. Louis county buyer program. The house, at 7336 Country Club Drive, has 1,790 sq. ft. of living space, coved ceilings, home office space, large family room, formal dining, and large yard. The house has been priced for quick sale.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
"Unfortunately," says Simmons, "mom put this house on the market right before the banking/credit collapse and, like most homes out there, it's been hard to find the right buyer even though it's a great Colonial and brick home and family-ready. It's been a harder sell, too, because it's not an 'ultra-modern' home with the latest celebrity-endorsed stainless steel appliances."&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
He adds, "My late father Dr. JL Simmons, PhD, was a visiting professor at UMSL, and hence why my parents moved here two decades ago. He wrote several books while living here, was interviewed here for radio and local St. Louis TV, and one of the non-fiction books was a 'Book of the Month Club' selection. My brother got his degree in Math at UMSL while living at home, here, before he moved to Washington State for an internship, and is now working in the computer industry."&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Simmons does not get any commission or any revenue from helping to promote the site. "While putting up a site to sell a home is nothing new, I thought the domain name was on the nose, 'Buy My Moms House,' so I registered it, put up the site, and you never know -- if the right person sees the site, they might call the REALTOR&amp;reg;, make an offer and there you go. Merry Christmas, Mom!"&lt;br/&gt;

   PAWLEYS ISLAND, S.C., Nov. 18 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- ROIonline LLC, an Internet Marketing company serving the industrial and business-to-business marketplace, has added streaming video products to the Internet solutions it offers its clients.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Until just several years ago, Websites were static. Dial-up and ISDN connections made streaming videos slow to load sporadic in their quality. But now thanks to the huge increase of broadband connections on the World-Wide Web, videos are everywhere.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
This explosion in broadband connections is creating a revolution of video growth on the Web. Nowhere is the growth greater than sites using &lt;a href="http://www.roiol.com" target="_blank"&gt;video spokespersons&lt;/a&gt;, short borderless videos that play when a Web page loads. Typically, an attractive spokesperson appears that welcomes the visitor to the site, explaining the capabilities of the company and pointing out other pages that are worthwhile to visit. Most videos average from 30 seconds to a few minutes in length and are proving to be a real benefit to businesses.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Rich Knapp, founder of ROIonline, points out that "Engaging the visitor quickly when visiting a Website is one of the biggest challenges today. Videos engage them immediately with a story that would require the visitor to view and read multiple pages within the Website. The video conveys the message faster and more effectively than reading a static Web page."&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
This increased engagement and resulting decrease in the bounce rate from the Website, has resulted in many companies seeing a 10 to 20 percent increase in conversions. Videos are a solution that delivers a high return on investment.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
"Businesses have to have the proper tools to keep their Web site competitive in a global marketplace," Knapp explained. "Sites must continue to use cutting edge technology to stay one step ahead of their competition and tell visitors quickly why their company is a good choice to do business with." &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Each video message is custom tailored and designed to ensure ROI. ROIonline's services include: streaming videos, Website design, product shopping cart/RFQ catalogs, search engine optimization, pay-per-click campaign management, Website tracking and analytics, Internet marketing and media placement. &lt;br/&gt;

(SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- BioJet Corporation announced today that it has agreed with the Ecole Polytechnique Federal de Lausanne (EPFL) to serve as the first Pilot project company for the worldwide implementation of the Principles of Sustainability recently approved by the EPFL's Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels (RSB).</summary><content type="text/html" mode="escaped">

   SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Nov. 18 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- BioJet Corporation (&lt;a href="http://www.biojetcorp.com" target="_blank"&gt;www.biojetcorp.com&lt;/a&gt;) announced today that it has agreed with the Ecole Polytechnique Federal de Lausanne (EPFL) to serve as the first Pilot project company for the worldwide implementation of the Principles of Sustainability recently approved by the EPFL's Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels (RSB) (&lt;a href="http://cgse.epfl.ch/page65660.html" target="_blank"&gt;cgse.epfl.ch/page65660.html&lt;/a&gt;). &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
BioJet is a leading international supply chain integrator in bio jet fuel for the aviation sector.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
The RSB serves as an international initiative providing the central point for the development of worldwide standards for sustainability in biofuels. RSB is developing the third-party certification system for biofuels sustainability standards, encompassing environmental, social and economic principles and criteria, through an open, transparent, and multi-stakeholder process. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
BioJet is a member of the RSB and CEO Mitch Hawkins said: "Biofuels are all about sustainability. If the supply chain cannot meet standards of sustainability, you are just trading one form of damage to the environment for another. Being asked to serve as the first implementation pilot company by EPFL is indeed an honor. The project will proceed through the end of 2010 and will provide valuable insights into the challenges of implementing sustainability into the entire biofuel value chain. In our opinion, the EPFL Version 1 Principles of Sustainability may very well become the basis of future regulation in several regions of the world."&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
The BioJet company is particularly well suited to such a pilot project because it is the international supply integrator for bio jet fuel. As such, its operations touch feedstock generation, technology, refining, logistics, distribution, and eventual end use by the aviation sector user. Since, in its mission, the company is feedstock agnostic, over time it will utilize any and all economically viable and sustainable feedstocks and will utilize several different refining processes. This model gives the company an overview of sustainability issues not inherent in the typical biofuel company business model.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Hawkins went on to say: "We are glad to be working to help develop a clear path to implementation. Standards will have to flow through the entire biofuel supply chain from feedstock producer, to refiner, to intermediate handlers, to the eventual end user. Each will have to be inspected and certified, with certificates being issued and presented to downline entities."&lt;br/&gt;

   LOS ANGELES, Calif., Nov. 16 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- From the very first page, to the final departing scene, "The Unbearable Sadness of Zilch" (ISBN: 9781440158261) by &lt;a href="http://www.konradventana.com" target="_blank"&gt;Konrad Ventana&lt;/a&gt; is a riveting narrative that shines a detective's flashlight into the darkest of reaches of the human mind. Only this time it is not the usual hard-boiled Private Detective who is called upon to find some hidden Truth, it is the philosophical practitioner or "Perspicuous Eye" who is called upon to find the lost Beauty.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
In this latest book release, Ventana takes the reader behind the curtains into the fabulous theatrical world of Hollywood's most accomplished movie moguls, who are striving to embrace the ultimate sources of their creativity, while they struggle with their own psychological demons.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Not since Nathanael West's "The Day of the Locust" and F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Last Tycoon" has Hollywood and the motion picture industry been seen in such a bold and illuminating light. Brimming with sexual intrigue, eye-widening spectacle, and a host of recognizable characters, this latest release by Konrad Ventana sets a new standard of relevance and transcendence in postmodern literary fiction as it raises the bar for visual special effects (VFX).&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
A must-read anyone who loves Hollywood stories, mystery novels, and classic literature, although the ultra-contemporary setting of this astounding new novel feels like it all happened just yesterday.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
A compelling work of social criticism, The Unbearable Sadness of Zilch is a treatise on existentialism, modernism, and the emergence of a radical new brand of feminism: the feminist provocateur. Set in Hollywood Neo-noir, and guided by an intrepid philosophical counselor (or life coach), we investigate The Lost Love of the Latest Tycoon, examining the role of the muse, the magnificent intemperate impulses of the femme fatale, and the allure of the casting couch, as we witness the fall of an empire in the twilight of the egoists.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Blazing with eye-opening drama, keen psychological and insights, and layers of literary pyrotechnics, not to mention VFX, the reader is at once awed and entertained by this post-lux piece de resistance.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;About the Author:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
Using the pseudonym Konrad Ventana, literally "Bold Counsel through a Window," the author looks behind the scenes at the ideologies of our modern times and examines the potential for future development. This is the second book of The Post-Lux Trilogy (on artistic creativity), the first of which received Editors Choice and Rising Star awards.&lt;br/&gt;

   KIRKLAND, Wash., Nov. 16 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Like other longer-living Americans, gay males and lesbians (as well as bisexuals and transsexuals) face the prospect of eventual incapacity and the need for long term care. But they have special problems getting that care when needed, according to &lt;a href="http://www.ltchotline.com" target="_blank"&gt;LTC Financial Partners, LLC&lt;/a&gt; (LTCFP), one of the nation's largest and most experienced long-term care insurance agencies.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Those problems include:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&amp;bull; More limited support network. Since gays and lesbians are less likely to have children than heterosexuals, they have fewer immediate family members available for care giving. Financial help from children, to pay for professional care, is also less available.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&amp;bull; A high proportion of gay and lesbian seniors have only themselves to reply upon. Nearly 80 percent live without a life partner or significant other, while a majority of married seniors live with a spouse, according to a February 2006 report from the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&amp;bull; Social Security presents obstacles too. For example, widows and widowers receive Social Security survivor benefits. Surviving same-sex partners get nothing. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;img src="http://send2press.com/mediaboom/09-1116-Celestino_72dpi.jpg" align="left" style="margin-right:20px;" alt="Ana Celestino" /&gt;"The playing field isn't level," says Ana Celestino, Business Development Specialist with LTCFP. Rhonda Guilin, an LTCFP Sales Manager and Member of the Board, shares Celestino's observation and commitment. "Gays and lesbians, as well as bisexuals and transsexuals, need to get LTC education in order to make good choices," she asserts. She and Celestino point to these LTCFP measures:&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
One is to highlight the importance of long term care insurance for gays and lesbians who can afford it. "Unless they lack resources and qualify for Medicaid, they should definitively protect themselves with private insurance," Guilin says, "because, with their more limited family and federal resources, they're at greater risk."&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Another key LTCFP measure is guiding gays and lesbians to insurance carriers that cater to their needs. "We've picked forward-looking underwriters that are gay-and-lesbian-friendly," says Celestino." &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;These carriers offer provisions such as:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&amp;bull; Discounts for same-sex partners who have lived together for more than three years.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&amp;bull; The option to share benefit dollars when one partner's benefit limits have been exceeded.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&amp;bull; The option to receive extra "stay-at-home" funds for home modifications, caregiver training, home safety checks, and medical alert systems.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Guilin's and Celestino's organization includes 550 independent agents, all specialists in long-term care insurance. Inc. magazine recently placed LTCFP No. 16 in the insurance category in its annual ranking of the 5,000 fastest-growing companies in the nation. Among insurance agencies, LTCFP is the fastest-growing one focusing exclusively on long-term care insurance sales.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
"We aim to be leading champions of gays and lesbians as well as racial and other minorities," says Guilin.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
More information on LTCFP and access to agents in all states is available at &lt;a href="http://www.ltchotline.com" target="_blank"&gt;www.ltchotline.com&lt;/a&gt;.

   &lt;em&gt;Awards Recognize Two Very Distinct Projects.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
WATERTOWN, Mass., Nov. 16 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Phoenix Construction Group, Inc. (PCGI), one of Boston's leading residential and commercial design/build firms, has been awarded two Gold PRISM Awards from the Builders Association of Greater Boston. The awards, which recognize housing industry professionals for excellence in building, design, sales and marketing, were presented to PCGI principals Dani Chedid and Karnig Ostayan at a gala ceremony on October 14, 2009.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Underlining the breadth of its expertise, PCGI's PRISM awards honor two distinct projects: the meticulous design/build of a moderately sized townhouse in Cambridge and the respectful conversion of an historic Watertown church and rectory into a high-end, multi-unit condo development.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
"It's very gratifying to receive awards honoring two very different projects," says Ostayan. "This recognition underlines Phoenix's commitment to exceptional craftsmanship and thoughtful, innovative design for all projects, regardless of type or size."&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
The first of PCGI's two PRISM awards is for Best Attached Home Under 1,500 Square Feet. The building is part of Maple Commons, a small grouping of homes designed and built by PCGI on the site of a former one story commercial plaza in Cambridge. Homes were constructed using only historical styles and colors, including a copper roof over the front watershed to match the downspouts. Interiors feature handsome floor plans with spacious, well-lit rooms, clean lines, and lots of space for family gathering and entertaining. Placement of the winning home and two others were carefully considered to create a charming community feeling.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
PCGI's second Gold Award is for Best Conversion, recognizing Bell Tower Place, the nine-unit condominium development built within a landmark church and rectory in Watertown. The firm devoted tremendous time and energy to the painstaking restoration of the church's gothic exterior, while crafting an innovative yet respectful rethinking of its interior spaces. All Bell Tower residences feature original detailing and take advantage of the building's soaring ceilings and tall windows. Unit floor plans are elegant and dramatic, with flexible designs that accommodate both large gatherings and private moments. Every unit includes original detailing, including wooden doors, windows, and openings. This exceptional project has also received a 2008 Contractor of the Year Gold Award and a 2009 Environmental Preservation Award from the Town of Watertown's Historic Commission. &lt;br/&gt;
 &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.pcgiboston.com" target="_blank"&gt;Phoenix Construction Group, Inc.&lt;/a&gt; is an award-winning design/build firm in Watertown, MA.
