Towson University Partners With Learning House to Offer Professional Certification Classes Online

Learning House fulfills university’s goals of creating its own faculty-developed online courses and addressing Maryland’s workforce needs

Louisville, KY, May 15, 2012 – The Learning House, Inc., an online education solutions partner that helps colleges and universities develop and grow high-quality online degree programs and courses, announced today that Towson University’s Center for Professional Studies (CPS) has selected Learning House to help expand its online continuing education course offerings. CPS offers programs that focus on meeting identified workforce shortages for the region and address skill gaps and career advancement needs.

Towson University has a robust set of existing continuing education programs, but CPS identified a need to develop self-paced, industry-driven, professional certification programs that leverage the expertise of the University’s faculty.

“We wanted to develop our own courses and truly control the content, deployment and quality of the curriculum,” said Jeff Beeson, Director of the Center for Professional Studies at Towson University. “We selected Learning House because they represented what we needed—a partner that could help us turn classroom curriculum into dynamic online courses that engage non-campus-based learners. Their dedicated team approach is a plus because we feel very supported. Additionally, the assurance that Learning House can help with all our online education needs from course design and development to marketing, as well as provide IT and tech support is a true value add.”

Together, Learning House and CPS will create workforce and professional certification courses online that align with Towson’s core academic mission of business, IT and the health professions. The first courses will include a project management professional (PMP) certification course, an A+/Net+ certification course and a Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) course with a health information supplement. All of these courses will directly address workforce needs in Maryland.

“Developing online courses takes a deep understanding of both the subject matter and the technology. A big mistake institutions often make is simply taking existing curricula and posting it online using a simple learning management system. Towson University’s CPS team understands that reaching online learners takes something more, and we are excited to work with them to expand their professional certification courses,” said Dr. David Clinefelter, Chief Academic Officer at Learning House. “Having the involvement of faculty is critical to the way we develop online courses. We plan to work closely with the faculty at Towson University to ensure they have the support they want to build engaging courses and the professional development they need to help their students achieve success.”

Learning House collaborates with schools that have various levels of online education experience to achieve each institution’s unique goals and create a positive student experience. For more information about how Learning House works with institutions to achieve their online education goals, visit www.learninghouse.com.

UK most investors keen on Alternatives claims AAA

A new survey by Friends Provident, which has won the support of AAA, has discovered that investors in the UK are particularly keen to invest in alternative asset classes at the moment.

Boston, MA, May 15, 2012 – A new survey by Friends Provident, which has won the support of Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA), has discovered that investors in the UK are particularly keen to invest in alternative asset classes at the moment.

AAA claims that the Friends Provident International (FPI) Investor Attitudes Report’s results reflect the growing trend for investing in collectibles and real estate instead of equities and other transitional investments.

The report found that nearly half (48 per cent) of the British investors questioned in the survey said that now was a good time to be investing in real estate. Among those surveyed in Hong Kong, however, real estate was towards the bottom of their list of asset classes at the moment – demonstrating how different investments are favored in different regions of the world.

The survey also found that UK investors were keen to put their cash in collectibles such as fine wines, classic cars, art and antiques. Some 40 per cent of those asked said that now was the time to invest in these asset classes.

Friends Provident Investments chief investment officer, Mark Versey, gave his response to the findings. He said, “Investors in the UK are displaying a more varied approach to what they consider as good investment strategies in the current economic climate compared to their peers overseas.

“Our survey uncovered a lack of appetite for long-term investments but showed that UK investors remain cautious in their outlook with almost a third keen to preserve their savings through risk free investments.”

AAA’s Anthony Johnson said they the appetite for alternative investments in the UK was a positive thing in response to the global economic crisis. He stated, “It’s not a surprise that those most affected by the downturn are now keen to get something tangible in exchange for their investments.”

AAA supports ethical investments, including sustainable forestry investment through firms like Greenwood Management which runs sustainable forestry plantations in Brazil.

SalutetoSpouses.com Hosts Webinar for Military Spouses Addressing How to Manage Every Day Stress

Webinar to be held on May 21; Expert and veteran Retired Colonel James Martin to discuss strategies military families can use to ensure the four pillars of well-being are part of their lives

Buffalo, NY, May 15, 2012 – SalutetoSpouses.com today announced the next installation in its Salute to Homecoming webinar series, “Is it Supposed to be Like This?” focusing on topics surrounding the family transition that happens after a deployed service member returns home. The webinar, titled “Is it Supposed to be Like This: Coping with the Change, Stress and Chaos of Military Life,” will be held on May 21 at 11 a.m. EDT and will highlight coping strategies military spouses can use to navigate the ups and downs of military life. The webinar is offered for free for all military spouses and their families.

The webinar will be led by combat veteran and Retired Army Colonel James (Jim) Martin. Colonel Martin spent 26 years in the Army Medical Department and is a licensed independent clinical social worker and a Board Certified Diplomate in Clinical Social Work and has more than 40 years of professional social work practice. As a combat veteran Colonel Martin is very in tune with the unique issues military families face. Additionally, both during his active and duty and since his retirement, he has served in many roles that address mental health issues among members of the military and their families. Some of his published work includes serving as one of the primary authors of “What We Know About Army Families: 2007 Update” (Technical Report & Video), contributing to the development of the “Army Chief of Staff’s White Paper on Army Families” and editing “The Gulf War and Mental Health: A Comprehensive Guide” (Praeger, 1996).

“Military life is challenging and a unique experience for every family. The well-being of military family members is especially challenged during times of transition, such as while PCS-ing and during deployment and reintegration because the change can often alter routines making even every day tasks seem impossible,” said Colonel Martin. “Addressing the four pillars of well-being: exercise, diet, managing stress and building social connections, is important for all individuals and especially for military families whose lives are in constant motion. Creating a plan that encompasses all four pillars will help spouses, and others, manage those more hectic moments of military life.”

The webinar is offered for free by SalutetoSpouses.com. Military spouses interested in attending are invited to register at http://www.salutetospouses.com/webinars.

FRA says British Columbia seeing signs of Timber industry uptick

FRA has welcomed news that timber producers in British Columbia, Canada, are slowly returning to profitability after major damage from Pine Beetles over the past few years.

Bainbridge Island, WA, May 15, 2012 – Forestry Research Associates (FRA) has welcomed news that timber producers in British Columbia, Canada, are slowly returning to profitability after major damage from Pine Beetles over the past few years.

The news has come courtesy of industry analysis from PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). The firm has recently held its Global Forest and Paper Industry Conference in Vancouver, outlining how the industry is seeing a return to its previous good fortune.

The analysts claim that the industry in the region is set to return to profitability by the end of this year or early next year. A spokesperson for PwC said, “It’s a combination of events driving it, but it’s probably a long, slow process rather than a big bang.”

“The trend is in the right direction,” he added. FRA is a research and analysis consultancy specialising in forestry and timber investments. It’s analysis partner, Peter Collins explained, “We have always had faith in Canada’s forestry industry because the demand for timber just keeps growing.”

He added, “Emerging economies such as China and India, are demanding more and more raw materials to allow them to continue to grow. Meanwhile, the US real estate market is picking up and more houses will need to be built, using timber, in the coming months and years.”

FRA claims that all this will lead to an increase in the demand for timber while a shortage in supply keeps prices growing. It is this trend that also leads FRA to support forestry investments as a good option for those who are looking for a way to diversify their investment portfolio. “Investing in plantation projects, such as the sustainable teak and eucalyptus plantations run by firms like Greenwood Management, can bring balance to a portfolio while generating very healthy returns for anyone interested in alternative investments.”

Denver Real Estate Market Shows Signs of Rebound

Metrolist Data Show Supply And Demand Beginning To Intersect In One Of Nation’s Bellwether Metro Areas

Denver, CO, May 14, 2012 – New data from Metrolist®, the largest real estate multiple listing service (MLS) serving Colorado real estate agents, show another uptick in Denver Metro area home prices as inventories hit their lowest level in three years.

According to Metrolist, the provider of REcolorado.com, the average sales price for the Denver residential market jumped another 6% in April to $275,241. Metrolist’s April data show notable increases in every important component, including sales pending contracts, sales under contract, and sales for single family homes, while days on market (DOM) continue to shrink.

According to Kirby Slunaker, Metrolist’s President and CEO, the uptick in average sales price last month may be the start of an upward trend in the metro Denver market.

“We continue to see tight inventory in the market, which means there are about two to three months of available supply,” said Mr. Slunaker. “With these tight inventory levels, I wouldn’t be surprised to see further price appreciation into this summer’s buying season.”

Compared to April last year, the average price for a single-family residence in the Denver metro area is 11% higher, while the number of homes for sale is down by 43%.

As steadily declining inventory pushes prices higher, buyers who must make a purchase decision should expect to be aggressive and ready to make multiple offers. Sellers, meanwhile, need to be ready to evaluate multiple offers with their Realtor®.

Metrolist launched REcolorado.com earlier this year as a way to give buyers, sellers, and brokers the ability to prepare for a fast-moving market this summer The consumer-friendly search engine incorporates a variety of tools to help in the home buying process, including enhanced listing information with access to school and neighborhood data. REcolorado.com also helps interested homebuyers and sellers find agents who specialize in their market.

“We’re seeing product that is move-in ready and in tip-top shape moving quickly,” says Mr. Slunaker. “We’re urging all potential buyers and sellers to gear up right now for a competitive marketplace.”

About Metrolist
Metrolist is the largest MLS in the state of Colorado, supporting the largest network of Realtors® with the most comprehensive database of real property listings throughout the Front Range. Realtor-owned since 1984, Metrolist provides leading technology solutions to real estate agents and brokers to better serve buyers and sellers. More information about Metrolist is available at www.metrolist.com.

Wheel Clamping ban October Deadline sheds light on Alternatives

Vehicle clamping activity will become an offence in England and Wales from October this year, outlawing the clamping, towing and immobilising of vehicles without lawful authority.

Highgate, London, May 14, 2012 – Vehicle clamping activity will become an offence in England and Wales from October this year, outlawing the clamping, towing and immobilising of vehicles without lawful authority.

The move by the Government to outlaw the practice has been welcomed by members of the security sector who have been looking at developing alternative measures to the unpopular practice of car clamping.

Costas Constantino, from parking enforcement company, FlashPark, welcomed the move and lauded the politicians who drove the measure through.

He said, “We regard this as a step forward in the parking control world and an achievement by Lynne Featherstone MP who personally piloted the then Bill through the Parliamentary stages until it became an Act.”

Mr Constantino explained that the ban on wheel clamping would lend greater weight to parking charge notices and would also create jobs for parking monitoring staff.

“Shopping centres and retail parks and other larger organisations including colleges universities in the UK that relied on the practice to control unauthorised parking will have to hire additional security to direct traffic and to warn motorists of areas that are restricted,” he explained.

“The rest of the enforcement vacuum created by the ban will be filled by parking charge notices, which will be given more legal clout when the ban is implemented.”

Mr Constantino added that there will be tremendous scrutiny of the new measures being brought in, particularly relating to the use of automatic number plate recognition, but the use of security staff and highly-visible signage would prove very effective.

Until the ban comes into force in October, wheel clamping by licensed operatives will still be permitted in England and Wales, providing that the clampers hold an official licence from the Security Industry Authority.

Dr. Michael Uro Foot Care in Sacramento Offers a Breakthrough Laser Solution for Toenail Fungus

Millions of people in the United States suffer from embarrassing toenail fungus. Dr. Michael Uro Foot Care, Sacramento has effectively treated hundreds of patients in the Sacramento area using a breakthrough toenail fungus laser treatment.

Sacramento, CA, May 12, 2012 (Straight Line PR) — Millions of people in the United States struggle with the embarrassing and uncomfortable issue of toenail fungus. Dr. Michael Uro’s Foot Care Clinic in Sacramento offers the latest technology for toenail fungus laser treatment. The toenail fungus laser treatment has multiple benefits, proving to be fast, safe and effective.

“I’m very excited to have the cutting-edge toenail fungus laser treatment therapy available to my patients,” says Dr. Michael Uro. “We are dedicated to providing the best, most up-to-date treatments available on the market today, along with the most compassionate care possible.”

Since beginning to use the toenail fungus laser treatment three years ago ( http://www.toelaser.com/laser-center ), Dr. Uro has seen new nail growth in patients as quickly as 4 months after the treatments. Within a year, the fungus infected toenails have replaced themselves with healthy new growth.

Dr. Michael Uro Foot Care, Sacramento uses the Cutera GenesisPlus™ Laser system, which treats the toenail fungus by getting to the source of the problem immediately. The toenail fungus laser treatment uses tiny pulses of light from the GenesisPlus™ laser, which pass through the toenail to the fungus underneath. The fungus is eliminated without any damage to the surrounding toenail or skin. The procedure usually consists of one to three treatments, which last about 10 to 20 minutes each. Patients are able to walk out the door wearing the shoes they arrived in. The toenail fungus laser treatment has been cleared by the FDA, no pain medication is needed, and there are no known side effects.

A news report featuring Dr. Uro, and describing how the toenail fungus laser treatment works, can be seen on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnPzTydwaDw

“When I came into the office and saw the photos from the first visit, I had forgotten how bad my nails were,” said Clark M., patient at Dr. Michael Uro’s Foot Care clinic in Sacramento. “Only a nub left on my big toe. The involved nails were sloughing off. After the first treatment, the healthy nails started to grow back by the time of the second treatment. Since my final treatment, the big toe almost looks totally normal with an attached nail. With the laser treatments I hope to keep my feet and nails fungus free from now on. Thank you Dr. Uro and the great team!”

More testimonials from Dr. Michael Uro’s patients can be found on his web site at http://www.toelaser.com/laser-center/testimonials

Center for Productive Longevity Working to Defuse the Ticking Time Bomb

Organization Brings Awareness to the Alarming Facts of an Aging Workforce

Boulder, CO, May 10, 2012 – The Center for Productive Longevity (CPL), which serves as the bridge between people 55 and older and the opportunities that enable them to continue in productive activities, today described “The 3 Important Ways to Defuse the Ticking Time Bomb of our Aging Workforce”. With 77 million people in the United States 55 and older, we are at a tipping point: we can either watch them sit on the sidelines, drawing from unsustainable entitlement programs and the general economy, or we can enable this growing population segment to continue working and contribute to the country’s economic growth and prosperity.

Recent surveys by AARP indicate that 80 percent of the Baby Boomers intend to continue working after leaving their regular career jobs, more than half on less than a full-time basis. Many need or want the additional income, particularly because of their wealth reduction from the recession in 2001 and the global economic crisis that began in the U.S. in late 2007. Other reasons to continue working include the desire to maintain cognitive skills, continue adding value, and remain socially connected.

“We have been aware of this ticking time bomb for years without taking effective action. Now it’s really getting louder with the growing retirement of Baby Boomers at the rate of 4.2 million each year from 2011 through 2029, compounded by high unemployment and low economic growth for the foreseeable future,” says William Zinke, 85, founder and president of CPL. “We can defuse this time bomb by creating a wave of entrepreneurship across the country and stimulating employers to take a more flexible approach in providing employment opportunities for older workers.”

According to CPL, we can defuse the ticking time bomb of our aging workforce in three important ways:

1.Baby Boomer Entrepreneurship
Create awareness and understanding among the Baby Boomers about the benefits and opportunities of creating their own businesses. Entrepreneurship remains a critical factor in the country’s economic growth and vitality, with a spirit of pioneering and self-reliance still a part of America’s DNA.

2.Flexible Workplace Options
Stimulate employers to develop phased retirement programs and other flexible workplace options that will retain and attract Baby Boomers 55 and older who want to continue working but on a part-time basis. A movement is developing in this direction, but a recent survey by Harris Interactive indicates that only 24 percent of Fortune 1000 companies provide such options.

3.Greater Talent Pool Utilization
The reality is that America has a large and growing talent pool of workers 55 and older with experience, expertise, seasoned judgment and proven performance (EESP). Research shows that older workers have a higher level of commitment, reliability and motivation; have better overall skills and abilities than younger workers; and have much lower absenteeism and turnover. This talent pool must be tapped to a substantially greater degree.

“Economic growth and our standard of living may be reduced if older workers are not provided with opportunities to continue working, yet there is no real recognition of the need to do so,” adds Zinke. “It is CPL’s purpose to change the national mindset about aging and retirement.”

One way CPL is highlighting the benefits of senior entrepreneurship is by organizing a series of four meetings titled “Spotlight on Entrepreneurship Opportunities for Baby Boomers”. The first meeting was held at the Kauffman Foundation in Kansas City, MO, the focal point for entrepreneurship in America, on March 27 with almost 100 participants and excellent feedback. The next three meetings will be held at Babson College in Wellesley, MA on September 14, Northwestern University/Kellogg School of Business in Chicago on October 11, and the University of Denver on November 15.
