Get the "real story" about the US economy from a renowned Chief Economist
The US is in a recession, but what led us here, what can we expect from it, and when/how will we get out of it? One man may hold the answers: Dan North, US Chief Economist for Euler Hermes – the world’s largest accounts receivable insurer.
We have a saying: “Dan said it would be like this.” He correctly forecasted the housing market depression (in 2005), the interest rate cuts (in 2006) and the recession (in 2007). His track record is spot on, and he has been lauded for his accuracy by Bloomberg Television and Radio and the Fox Business Network.
Dan has outstanding credentials and a smooth on-air delivery for either a serious or lighthearted discussion about the economy or the business climate in general. He can be interviewed from Baltimore, DC, or NYC. To book Dan North on your program, contact Rick Ostopowicz at 410-753-0652 or

World Record Hymn Singer Writes Inspiring Book to Help Others Find God

His hymn-singing earning him a spot in the Book of Alternative Records, Records Holders Republic, and Ripley’s Believe it or Not.

Precious Heroes Project features Children of Fallen US Troops and Celebrities across the USA
Operation Christmas is producing the Precious Heroes Project CD/DVD featuring children of fallen US Troops and stars from Music, Film, Sports, etc. We will be bringing them all together in studios across the country to add their voices to the CD. A ‘making of’ DVD will be produced as part of the project. Our motto for the project is “show up, move your lips, make a difference”.
Many children of the fallen have ‘fallen through the cracks’ and received little available death benefits. We are developing a program which would purchase US ‘Patriot Bonds’ in their names. The bonds would be an investment in the country their Hero parents gave their lives for. Remember Memorial Day, 2008. OEC sends the children Christmas Gift Cards during the Holidays and brings them to Orlando Florida for a VIP Theme Park vacation year round.

Safer cosmetic surgery anesthesia... Can Goldilocks teach us the way?
Goldilocks is the parable of 'nothing in excess.' Not too hot (hard), not too cold (soft), but that which is just right. 'Goldilocks' approach for cosmetic surgery anesthesia can best be attained by utilizing a brain activity monitor like the BIS®.
Prior to brain activity monitoring, anesthesiologists were obliged to over-medicate for fear of under-medicating. With a brain activity monitor, giving anesthesia becomes like taking an 'open book test.' Measuring the target organ, the brain, is obviously better than guessing.
Problems associated with over-medication include prolonged wake-up time, postoperative cognitive dysfunction ('cobwebs'), postoperative nausea and vomiting, and even as recent research suggests, increased one-year death rates. Under-medication may result in intra-operative anesthesia awareness with possible post-traumatic stress syndrome. Goldilocks anesthesia promises to essentially eliminate both problem sets. www.cosmeticsurgeryanesthesia.com Disclaimer: Dr. Friedberg is not employed by Aspect Medical Systems, makers of the BIS monitor, is not a stockholder, or a paid consultant.

Revolutionary New Ostomy Pouch with Built-in Cleaning System
Kenneth R. Schena a Naples Florida resident underwent colorectal surgery because of cancer and wound up with a permanent colostomy. The collection bag cleaning process was totally unacceptable so Mr. Schena designed a pouch with a self-contained cleaning system (Ostomy E-Z Clean). The pouch has an internal cleaning manifold accessed through an external inlet. A portable or fixed water feed system connects to the inlet while the user sits on the toilet. The pouch drain is opened and the system flushes all body waste into the toilet in less than 3 minutes. The toilet is flushed, drain and inlet cap closed and the colostomate is on his way without ever having to come in direct contact with body waste. The inlet cap can also be used to vent accumulated gas in the pouch. The E-Z Clean System has been user tested.

CD and DVD Recycling is an Environmental Must for Going Green Campaigns
Few people realize the importance of CD and DVD recycling. When compacts discs are placed in the trash, it is harmful to the environment. Each year over 30 billion CDs and DVDs are still being manufactured, while millions of unwanted, damaged and obsolete discs end up in landfills and incinerators every month.
It is important for those individuals or companies that use, sell, manufacture or promote compact discs to also responsibly promote how and where to recycle them. If every American sent one disc to the CD Recycling Center of America, it would fill a 234 car freight train. Bruce Bennett, the founder of The CD Recycling Center of America is available to discuss the importance of CD and DVD recycling.

Story of George Westinghouse on Film for the First Time
George Westinghouse pioneered the modern age of electric power and mass transit. He invented the air brake, which increased the size and speed of trains for rapid westward expansion. Westinghouse worked with inventors like Nikola Tesla to bring practical alternating current electricity into our daily lives. After winning the battle of the currents against Thomas Edison, Westinghouse companies went on to manufacture electrical appliances and started the first commercial radio station.
Today the world is electrified at a rate never before seen in human existence, and most power is still generated by methods that were around 100 years ago. A new breed of engineers and inventors can be inspired by George Westinghouse to solve today's engineering problems. Mark Bussler is available to discuss the new film Westinghouse, about the life and legacy of George Westinghouse. Web site: www.WestinghouseFilm.com
