Heart IT Announces that SIAT has elected to acquire WebPAX(R) to Manage Medical Images in Multi-Hospital Setting
July 17, 2012
DURHAM, N.C., July 17, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Heart IT, the global leader that pioneered the first FDA approved zero footprint medical imaging workstation announced today that the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT), a branch of the Chinese Academy of Science (CAS), has elected to acquire WebPAX® in order to receive and share medical images across multiple hospitals.
SIAT is engaged in comprehensive and multi-disciplinary medical research. They required an effective system to allow them to readily receive and manage medical images from a number of hospitals (across a large geographical area) participating in medical research activities. SIAT also needed a way to make those images available to multiple scientists in different locations without having to purchase several, costly licenses for specialized viewing stations.
WebPAX® provided the perfect solution and helped SIAT create a Medical Image Network. WebPAX® offers the capability to easily upload medical images via the web from any location in the globe. Once the images have been acquired and stored in the database, SIAT scientists can view them from any computer with a browser without any specialized client software. The unlimited license (standard with all WebPAX® systems) meant significant savings for SIAT since they could use their existing computer infrastructure without additional license purchases. WebPAX® delivered the necessary technology to provide SIAT with a Medical Image Network easily and affordably.

New Version of DrillPoint Reports Available from Capital Business Solutions
June 5, 2012
RALEIGH, N.C., June 5, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Capital Business Solutions announced today the availability of a new release of DrillPoint Reports, a powerful report writer designed for Sage Fund Accounting (formerly Sage MIP Fund Accounting).
DrillPoint Reports Version 12.1 includes new features such as enhanced security, the ability to drill down to source records, multiple column sorts and summarize, updated drill down grid functionality, and force printing row capability.
Flexible formatting along with charts and graphs options, which are popular features of DrillPoint Reports, have been enhanced in Version 12.1. End users can use the charts and graphs to highlight key data points in easy-to-view depictions of data trends.
DrillPoint Reports’ drill down function has been enhanced to go beyond a summary grid of individual transactions and now includes the ability to view source documents such as purchase orders, invoices, requisitions, journal entries, or cash disbursements.
Report designers using DrillPoint Reports now have more control over whether a viewer of the report can change report options. The report designer can now enable or disable many run-time options in order to maintain report integrity when other staff members run reports.
“Other users within a nonprofit rely on the accounting team to provide the reports they need for the operations and projects they manage. Typically, accounting must either create reports as requested or teach department managers how to use the accounting system – which most people outside of accounting find challenging,” said Capital Business Solutions principal Robbie Pollock.
“When monthly report generation is the sole responsibility of accounting, it’s a huge burden and time drain for the staff,” Pollock explained. “With DrillPoint Reports, accounting can create report templates and make them available to other staff members to run on demand. Managers can use DrillPoint Reports, to refresh or rerun their reports with the most recent data, in real time, and access supporting transaction details with just a few clicks.”
Capital Business Solutions is a recognized leader in providing integrated financial software solutions and professional services purpose-built for the nonprofit and public sector. An authorized reseller of Sage Fund Accounting (formerly MIP), Sage Fundraising 50, Sage Abra, and Serenic Navigator, Capital Business Solutions also offers expert training and consulting services on all Blackbaud products. Capital Business Solutions has successfully implemented more than 500 clients in its 10 years of operation.

U.S. Patent Office Issues Sixth Patent Covering ‘Zero-Footprint’ Medical Image Viewers to Heart Imaging Technologies, LLC
May 1, 2012
DURHAM, N.C., May 1, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Heart IT, the global leader that pioneered the first FDA approved zero footprint medical imaging workstation, WebPAX®, announced today the award of its sixth patent covering “zero-footprint” medical image viewing technologies. “Zero-footprint” technologies allow health care professionals to view medical images using any computing platform with a standard Internet web browser.

U.S. Patent Number 8166381 issued on April 24, 2012. Heart IT’s “zero footprint” intellectual property portfolio also includes five previously-issued U.S. Patents: 6934698, 7457656, 7668835, 7958100, and 8055636.

Camp Blue Skies focuses on the camper’s physical, mental and emotional well-being through continued development of a healthy lifestyle and positive social skills. Camp Blue Skies takes a three-pronged approach to camp, including recreation, socialization and education. This philosophy provides opportunities to be active outdoors, learn new things and make new friends.
“I realized that when these individuals age out of the school system, opportunities for recreation and socialization fall off greatly. My dream was to provide an overnight weeklong camp for this underserved population, where campers can enjoy true camp experiences like ropes courses, fishing and campfire fun while challenging and stretching themselves to grow,” says founder Dick Sesler.
In October 2010, Dick Sesler’s dream became a reality. To date, Camp Blue Skies has served over 150 campers and over 180 loyal volunteers have committed their time. Camps are currently being held in NC and GA. The organization’s goal is to continue to improve their programs and expand camps in the southeast region and hopefully beyond in the near future.

The organization’s mission is to enhance the lives of adults with developmental disabilities by providing opportunities for life skill education through recreation and socialization.

Powerful New Book by Best-Selling Author Reveals the Secret Message Hidden within the Virgin Mary’s Life
March 1, 2012
DURHAM, N.C., March 1, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — “The Miracle Workers Handbook: Seven Levels of Power and Manifestation of the Virgin Mary” (ISBN: 978-1846949203) by Sherrie Dillard, and published by John Hunt Publishing O Books, explains the seven phases of Mary’s life as a blueprint for all people to experience divine intuitive communication, synchronicity, grace, miracles and ascension.
Author Sherrie Dillard, a professional intuitive and medium, is no stranger to religion. Her mother and one of her brothers are Methodist ministers and her other brother is a Catholic theologian and head of the religion department at a Catholic University. Through her unique perspective as an intuitive and medium, Sherrie presents a groundbreaking viewpoint of the Virgin Mary. Mary, she explains, is a saint for all people. Christians, Buddhists, pagans, Muslims and spiritual seekers alike find common ground is this new revelation of Mary.
After recounting some of her often funny early intuitive experiences and her encounters with Mary, Sherrie discusses what she believes to be Mary’s true message. Living in a strict Jewish community where woman were considered second class citizens, Mary shifted the prevailing concept of God as a judging, moralistic and male outer force to that of an inner spiritual presence. When she invoked the power of the heavens and miraculously conceived, Mary created a new paradigm. God became the divine loving spirit of grace and miracles that can be found within. The miraculous conception was not a one-time only event. All people, Sherrie affirms, have the innate ability to intuitively communicate with angels, experience synchronicity, live in grace and co-create miracles.
Of the Miracle Workers Handbook, Margaret L. Starbird, author of “The Feminine Face of Christianity” and “The Woman with the Alabaster Jar,” writes: “Sherrie Dillard’s new book presents spiritual truths to bless today’s pilgrims learning to trust the spiritual guidance of intuition and synchronicity. Stories she shares about the miraculous are illustrations of a clear connection to the ‘Way’ of radical trust in the ‘Divine Presence’ in every facet of our human experience.”
Joanna Macy Ph.D., author of “World As Lover, World As Self,” says: “Everything that Sherrie Dillard writes has the ring of authenticity that comes with great beauty and spiritual depth.”
Sherrie is the author of the best-selling “Discover Your Psychic Type” (Llewellyn Worldwide, 2008) of which Business Reed Information said: “Lifelong psychic Dillard (intuition development, Duke Univ.) offers up a genuinely satisfying work on developing psychic abilities well beyond the typical if-I-can-do-it, you-can-too!”
Her book “Love and Intuition” (Llewellyn Worldwide, 2010) explores how to develop intuition in one of the most spiritual aspects of life: love and relationships. SingleWomenRule.com wrote “The book that can turn your love life around,” and Suite 101 wrote, “This book is a keeper!”
As an intuitive and medium, Sherrie has a busy international clientele. Her writing has appeared in national magazines and she has been featured on radio and television for her innovative books and her work as a psychic detective and medium. She has taught intuition development classes at Duke University, Miraval Resort and in Latin America and Europe. Her passion for the fusion of intuition, spirituality and conscious self-growth has made her a popular speaker and teacher at retreats and conferences both nationally and internationally. Sherrie holds a B.S. in Psychology and M.Div. in New Thought pastoral counseling.

Social Network for Kids, Jackie Fame Launches FAME 2.0
February 28, 2012
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 28, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Jackie Fame (www.JFame.com), which bills itself as the “kid/teen social network,” a Facebook alternative for kids and teens, announced today the launch of its most anticipated FAME 2.0 social network. Jackie Fame is an investment capital funded, Charlotte and Los Angeles based company.
Jackie Fame, founded by kid entrepreneurs Zachary Swauger (age 13) and Joshua Swauger (age 10), launched its initial Jackie Fame Network in January of 2011. After the positive response and tremendous membership growth, the brothers put a halt on growth initiatives while focusing on enhanced development efforts of its platform. With continued feedback for improvements from the FAME Kid Advisors, the brothers developed FAME 2.0 – a custom, feature rich, with a scalable network, infrastructure. Also, not surprisingly, Jackie Fame offers an interactive Android and iPhone mobile app available to download for free on over 2,500 wireless devices – FAME Mobile.
In 2011, the Swauger brothers also penned their first book in the “Kid2Kid Book Series” titled “Kid2Kid, Keepin’ It Safe Online” (ISBN: 9780615500256). This fun to read book about internet safety, which includes a chapter on anti-bullying, is now available at book stores, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and public libraries.
As a complement to the book, they also launched their anti-bullying site “We Have the Power” – www.WeHaveThePower.net – which is a grass-roots effort encouraging kids to join together in the fight to end bullying.
“What we set out to do was build an awesome place on the web for kids to communicate, share and create new friendships, continue to develop our brandFAME and its superior lines of quality products, provide financial opportunity for our investor team, and prove to the admission officers at Stanford University that we have what it takes to be a Cardinal – in about 5 years,” said Joshua Swauger.
“FAME 2.0 is epic!” added Zachary Swauger. “Unlike many other social networks for kids and teens, with Jackie Fame there is no charge to be a member, no advertising in-your-face messages, and our members have the choice to be as private or as public as they want to on their page.” Initially, the system defaults to full privacy for all members to provide instant protection. “After that, it’s their choice who they friend,” added Zachary. In addition, users’ data and content is not sold to brands, advertisers, etc. “We ARE ‘the brand’ and with our merchant partners engaged with the FAME members via our FAME50 platform, coming soon – it’s really awesome.”
Jackie Fame’s BrandFAME will initially launch with the FAMEbody “body treats” personal care line and FAMEnails, the companies nail polish line, due to be in national retail store locations by Q4 2012. BrandFAME, the company’s apparel line is expected in stores by Q1 2013. All lines and been developed, branded, quality tested, and are now in the pre-sale process.
