TIPP CITY, Ohio, July 26, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Mike McDaniel, Superintendent at Ashland County – West Holmes Career Center announced that the district will be implementing energy conservation projects to reduce energy usage and cost and save taxpayer dollars. Energy Optimizers, USA and MKC Associates have been working with the Career Center to develop complete turn-key energy conservation solutions.
To implement these projects without asking for any taxpayer money, the school district is utilizing funding mechanisms through the Ohio School Facilities Commission’s House Bill 264 program.
Energy Savings for Ashland County – West Holmes Career Center:
Energy Optimizers, USA has designed the Ashland County – West Holmes Career Center project to include significant energy conservation projects producing a net cash flow of $3,557 a year! The project, with less than an 11 year payback, will reduce the annual CO2 emissions by 207,693 pounds. The annual environmental impact is the equivalent of removing over 27 cars, saving 42 acres of trees, or removing 8 houses from the grid.
The $144,510 project consisted of lighting retrofits, kitchen exhaust automation and the implementation of variable frequency drives, a new air compressor, and an energy education program. Superintendent Mike McDaniel explains that, “Energy Optimizers, USA delivered excellent service from the beginning through the completion of the project.”
Energy Education Program:
Energy Optimizers, USA will work with the Career Center to implement an energy education and training program, tied to the curriculum, for students and staff. Activities will include creating and implementing a district-wide energy conservation handbook incorporating suggested student and staff behaviors and expectations that directly affect energy usage, and having the school districts qualify for and become recognized by the Federal Energy Star Energy Efficient Buildings Program.
Greg Smith, President of Energy Optimizers, USA, stated, “We are extremely excited to be working with the Career Center to not only save them a substantial amount of money, but also to save the environment and provide their students with a unique educational opportunity and possibly springboard interested students into the field of energy efficiency and/or the renewable energy field. We will also be providing a graduating student from the district interested in the energy and/or engineering field with a $1,000 scholarship during the 2012-2013 school year.”

“With the expanded adoption of our Anytime Collect product, our development team has leveraged customer feedback and real world scenarios to make our customers’ collections activities even easier,” said Lynne Henslee, President of e2b teknologies. “The new features benefit not only our existing customers but it expands our opportunities for new license sales – especially for smaller companies with limited credit and collections staff who need this type of automation to reduce the order to cash payment cycle for their lean businesses.”

* The report system now includes user-defined calculations for customer-facing mail merge documents and reports allowing businesses to tailor their customer communications using dynamic customer account and invoice information.
* Reason Codes field are no longer restricted to certain codes providing ample flexibility for customers to track virtually any information related to an invoice.
* Several inquiries have been expanded to include additional information for ad-hoc reporting and analysis for credit and collections Issues & Activities, Expected Payments, Customer Details, and Customer Invoices.
* Several changes have been made to improve integration to various accounting and ERP business systems. For example, customer status and references can be imported from the ERP accounting system into Anytime Collect.
Anytime Collect 2.0.4 is a cloud-based accounts receivable credit and collections management system designed for business to business credit and collections management.

One Man’s 2,000 Mile Appalachian Trail Charity Journey turns into 12,450 Miles! Celebrating 15 Years of Walking for Sunshine!
CINCINNATI, Ohio, July 11, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — What began as a solo Appalachian Trail (AT) adventure with bears, bugs, and blisters, has become an annual fundraising source for Sunshine, a home for the developmentally disabled in Maumee, Ohio. When author and speaker Jeff Alt embarked on his AT journey to raise funds for Sunshine, he didn’t know that his journey would spark the creation of an annual event.
Alt’s brother Aaron, who was born with Cerebral Palsy, is a Sunshine resident. During Alt’s inaugural AT journey, supporters in Toledo walked in solidarity with Jeff, marking the first annual event. The event has now grown to over 400 walkers and runners netting over $225,000 for Sunshine. Alt’s story is told in an award winning book, “A Walk for Sunshine” (ISBN: 978-0-9679482-3-2) and was released as an audio book on June 5, 2012.
Alt’s original walk, combined with everyone who has walked, run or rolled for Sunshine brings a grand total of 12,450 miles traversed. This proves that when you put one foot in front of the other, you get a lot of steps in the right direction.
Alt inspires audiences with stories from “A Walk for Sunshine” – including humorous and hair raising animal encounters of sleeping with a skunk, being charged by a bear, eating lunch next to a rattlesnake and more. You learn how he ate a large pizza as a snack, a dozen donuts before breakfast; and still lost 30 pounds.
Alt shares hiking tips and profound lessons he learned from his journey such as:
* Why everyone should go after their dreams now!
* How humor can help you overcome adversity.
* How celebrating the simple things can get you through tough situations.
* Why we should introduce kids to the outdoors at the youngest of ages because computers are replacing the backyard and childhood obesity is becoming a national epidemic.
“On September 8, we will celebrate 15 years of walking for Sunshine. Alt continues to help host this family oriented Walk, 5K Run & Roll. All proceeds are used to help fund programs and services for the people served at Sunshine,” says Alt. Information: http://www.sunshine.org/2012/03/2458/ .
Jeff Alt is a member of the Outdoor Writers Association of America. His tips and adventures have been featured on Discovery Channel.com, ESPN, Hallmark Channel, NPR; in the Chicago Tribune, Cleveland Plain Dealer and the AP. Alt’s book, “A Walk for Sunshine” (9/09; $15.95 paperback; ISBN: 978-0-9679482-3-2; http://www.jeffalt.com/) has received several awards and the Kindle edition hit the best-selling charts in January, 2012.
“A Walk for Sunshine” was just released in audio (6/12; $19.99; ISBN: 978-1469240954; Brilliance Audio).

e2b teknologies Launches Anytime Commerce B2B Storefront Software
CHARDON, Ohio, June 5, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — e2b teknologies (www.e2btek.com), a business software solution provider and developer, announced that its e2b anytime apps division has introduced Anytime Commerce, an ecommerce storefront solution. What sets the Anytime Commerce storefront apart from other ecommerce storefront solutions is its focus on business to business (B2B) transactions facilitating the exchange of information securely with business customers, external sales reps, and suppliers.
“Most ecommerce sites are designed for business to consumer relationships. We created Anytime Commerce because there are very few options for companies who sell to other businesses and need deeper integration between their online storefronts and their back office ERP business systems,” said e2b teknologies President Lynne Henslee.
In addition to ecommerce sales, Anytime Commerce storefront includes a content management system (CMS) eliminating the hassle of html or asp programming allowing companies to manage their entire website by adding contact forms, news feeds, and other content to pages within the CMS system.
Anytime Commerce integrates to popular accounting and ERP business software products such as Sage 500 ERP (fka Sage MAS 500), Sage 100 ERP (fka Sage MAS 90/200), Sage 50 US (fka Sage Peachtree), Epicor ERP, Intuit QuickBooks and other systems. Other integrations include freight estimates with UPS or custom carriers and sales tax calculations for customer orders.
“The problem with most ecommerce storefront software is that it may look great but the back-end integration to the inventory and order entry system typically requires specialized configuration and customization,” said Henslee. “Anytime Commerce integrates seamlessly with your ERP business system, is easy to manage, and looks fantastic.”
To ensure Anytime Commerce is both affordable and accessible, e2b teknologies offers the product for purchase or through a low monthly subscription with deployment options available on premise within a company’s domain or on Microsoft’s Azure cloud.
Early adopters of Anytime Commerce storefront software include Mar Cor Purification (and sister company Saf-T-Pak), Direct2Mfg, Bass-Mollet Publishers, and Corrugated Replacements.

* e2b anytime apps was previously branded as e2b software and ties together the corporate name with the company’s growing Anytime brand products including Anytime Collect and Anytime 500 (formerly e2b 500 add-ons for Sage MAS 500 ERP).
* e2b calibration – e2b calibration is a national provider of quality test equipment calibration and repair services specializing in avionics and mass flow industries.
“Everyone knows us as e2b, yet our own line of Anytime products was rapidly gaining brand recognition in the market,” said e2b teknologies President Lynne Henslee. “The new brand provides consistency across our business portfolio and a framework to continue expanding our business in the future.”
Phase one of the rebranding process was completed recently with the launch of a new corporate website and the introduction of the new corporate logo across its three operating business units. A second phase planned for June will integrate the remaining product websites into the e2b anytime apps domain while standardizing all websites on a common website style sheet for a consistent brand image.
“Business technology is changing,” said Henslee. “The airplane logo we chose several years ago for our cloud-based products now represents our entire organization and our focus on business technologies and services that are mobile, social, and available on premise or on the cloud.”

Leader v. Facebook to the U.S. Supreme Court?
COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 8, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Today a Federal court denied the appeal of Leader Technologies in the Leader v. Facebook patent infringement case. “This is suspiciously convenient timing for Facebook, coming hours after the Facebook roadshow commenced in New York,” said CEO Mike McKibben, referring to Facebook’s IPO kickoff yesterday.
According to McKibben, a lower court held that Facebook violated Leader’s patent on 11 of 11 claims, but then invalidated Leader’s patent by finding that Leader had tried to sell its technology too soon (“on-sale bar,” in legal parlance.)
“Leader asked the Federal Circuit to overrule this verdict, because the company’s patent interests were protected by a ‘no-reliance’ agreement that negated any possibility of making offers before we had signed contracts,” said McKibben. “But the court ignored these agreements, accepted Facebook-doctored evidence, and misquoted my testimony to justify their decision.”
“We are extremely disappointed,” McKibben added. “The appeals process is supposed to correct legal errors by juries, not simply root around for new evidence to justify not overturning a jury that was fooled by Facebook tricks.”
McKibben may appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. “We firmly believe that the jury erred in their one finding against Leader,” he says. “Facebook is using our invention, as the jury agreed, without our permission. This court just condoned hacking of intellectual property and fabrication of evidence as acceptable business practices.”
The case is Leader Technologies Inc. v. Facebook Inc., 2011-1366, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (Washington). The lower court case is Leader Technologies Inc. v. Facebook Inc., 08-cv-862, U.S. District Court, District of Delaware (Wilmington).

e2b teknologies Participates in National Keep America Beautiful Month Through Environmental Activities and Donations
CHARDON, Ohio, April 3, 2011 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — ERP business software solution provider and developer e2b teknologies (www.e2btek.com) is participating in “National Keep America Beautiful Month,” as well as “National Volunteer Week,” for the month of April. e2b will be participating in the Adopt-A-Highway program to clean-up roadside litter and has made a $500 donation to the Holden Arboretum. e2b will also participate in a clean-up event at the Holden Arboretum on Earth Day, April 22.
With the increase of roadside rubbish, America’s beauty has been getting cluttered right under our spacious skies. To help keep America beautiful, e2b teknologies will be adopting a stretch of highway, volunteering to clean the area around it. Each year, the Ohio Department of Transportation spends $4 million and over 200,000 hours on litter pick up alone. Litter is a preventable problem, and the money spent on its removal could be spent on other community benefits. With volunteers such as e2b teknologies, this unnecessary use of time, money and resources is not as great.
In addition to keeping the street neat, e2b teknologies’ employees will be volunteering to clean up the Holden Arboretum in Kirtland and has made a $500 donation to the park to help retain its natural beauty. This event will be followed by an employee potluck picnic on Earth Day, Sunday April 22, 2012.
“There is a huge negative impact on the environment that can be avoided,” said e2b teknologies’ President Lynne Henslee. “We have a moral obligation as human beings to right these wrongs, and this obligation is deeper than merely the interests of our company. It coincides with the interests of our local and global communities and the world we entrust to our children.”

Intacct is especially well-suited for different types of businesses including software publishers, charities, charter schools, faith-based organizations, and business consulting companies.

With a growing number of employees operating remotely, cloud-based ERP solutions have become a great necessity when it comes to managing a company – especially when a company’s employees can’t be “on site.” With Intacct, users only need access to a computer with a web browser and an internet connection, allowing companies to manage their business anytime, and from anywhere.
“Intacct is focused on strategic additions to our channel program, and e2b teknologies is another great partner for our program,” said Taylor Macdonald, vice president of Channels at Intacct. “e2b teknologies is well known for their industry knowledge and high levels of customer satisfaction. We look forward to a long and successful partnership.”

Pest Control Technology Magazine Announces Commercial Service Technician of the Year
RICHFIELD, Ohio, March 6, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Pest Control Technology (PCT) magazine, and sponsor BASF Pest Control Solutions are proud to announce the 2011 Commercial Service Technician of the Year is John Dawson and category finalist is Chad Mackie, both from Griffin Pest Solutions, headquartered in Kalamazoo, Michigan. For the past 15 years, PCT magazine has recognized standout commercial service professionals.
Dawson, a 24-year veteran of Griffin Pest Solutions, an Associated Certified Entomologist (A.C.E.), has been an early adopter and patient teacher of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). He works hard to find solutions that are environmentally responsible and minimally invasive. As a teacher, he believes in thoroughly explaining to customers what he’s doing and why, what they can expect in terms of results and why IPM solutions are preferable to traditional solutions in many situations. Because Dawson services accounts with very low pest thresholds, mostly in the health care and pharmaceutical segment, this customer education is vital.
Mackie, also an A.C.E., is a 10-year veteran of Griffin Pest Solutions and has become a leader at Griffin’s Grand Rapids branch office due to his positive attitude and willingness to do the little things to meet and exceed customer expectations. Mackie has excelled at a job that requires problem solving and attention to detail. He serves as a model mentor to new service technicians, exhibiting patience and dedication necessary to train others.
“The 2011 Technicians of the Year are representative of the many outstanding service professionals in the pest control industry,” said PCT Managing Editor Brad Harbison. “Whether it’s mentoring new service technicians, assisting with training programs or growing their routes through sales efforts, each of this year’s winners truly goes above and beyond their job description.”
“We are very proud of John and Chad,” said Griffin Pest Solutions President Linden Griffin. “This is a tremendous honor for both of them and they truly deserve the recognition for all of their hard work and dedication to their customers.”
PCT received dozens of nominations for from pest control companies throughout the U.S. of various size and make-up. Managers/owners were asked to evaluate service technicians in several areas including: technical skills; communication skills; service to company/community; and their mentoring role within the company. All of the nominations were reviewed by a panel of pest control industry experts who determined the winners. The winners were recognized during special ceremony at National Pest Management Association (NPMA) Legislative Day on Monday, February 27, 2012, in Washington, D.C.
