They ended up cashing in for over $17,000. Not bad for a $60 bet."

Rock 'n roll heaven has answered! It's been 28 years of prayer, lots of dreaming, hoping, wishing and wondering. Music fans have been seeking the answer, they all have thought what if? On the 28th anniversary of Elvis' death that moment is here and many are calling it a miracle.
A miracle, what's that? It's an event that surpasses all known human or natural powers and is ascribed to a divine or supernatural cause. Well, the events of the last year and this story have experts and fans alike scratching their heads seeking an explanation, but the only one they can find is the will of rock 'n roll heaven. Over the last year and half, singer/songwriter John Krondes has magnetically attracted just about all of Elvis Presley's music entourage to this historical "Hit Making Team" project. For the first time since Elvis' death, the Elvis "Hit Team" is back in the studio recording new music. John Krondes and The Jordanaires have been joined in song with the TCB Band, The Elvis Memphis Studio Band the "Memphis Boys", the Sweet Inspirations, Three of Elvis' Original Composers, Elvis producer Ray Bardani and Elvis' best friend Joe Esposito as well as other musicians that were lucky enough to have played with the King.
The benefits of the new Micro/sys EPC182 are twofold: sixty-four lines of isolated inputs capable of handling 3VDC to 50VDC, and an additional 16 relays for isolated I/O signaling with a switching capacity of 2 Amps. This high density I/O count is made available on a 4.53” x 6.50” x 0.6” board with a temperature range of -40 to + 85 degrees C and is ideal for PC/104 high-voltage applications.
Each of the 64 isolated inputs is capable of handling 3VDC to 50VDC while providing 4kVrms isolation between the input signal and the system. A user selectable pull-up/pull-down resistor allows each input to be individually pulled high or low to insure a known logic level at power up. The EPC182 is also an excellent choice for applications that require high-voltage relay switching with inter-channel isolation between the input signals. Sixteen lines of 1.5kVAC isolation are available using 16 Form-C relays that also offer 250VDC isolation between the relays. To improve system reliability the states of the relays can be read and will not change state during power up or power down.

Despite a continuing focus upon cutting costs many companies could become far more effective at purchasing. According to Prof. Colin Coulson-Thomas who led the effective purchasing project which examined buying across Europe: “Flabby buying can drain a company’s coffers and impair its performance. Companies need to be entrepreneurial when buying from suppliers as well as entrepreneurial when generating revenues from customers.”
A team led by Coulson-Thomas examined buying across Europe. The findings summarised in the report ‘Effective Purchasing, the critical success factors’* suggest many companies could ‘buy smarter’. According to Coulson-Thomas: “All companies reported their purchasing achievements were falling short of their aspirations. Clearly more effective purchasing can have a very significant impact upon the bottom line.”
The board of trustees of the Command and General Staff College Foundation (CGSCF) recently conducted their annual board meeting in Fort Leavenworth's Lewis and Clark Center, the new facility built to house the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College. In addition to admiring and marveling at the scale of the new building's architecture, design and technology, the board members had the opportunity to recognize the Foundation's success in 2007.
"We've made more progress in five short months this year than we did in all 12 months last year," said retired Col. Bob Ulin, the CGSCF chief executive officer. "We believe we've finally gotten some traction in increasing our membership and contributions and are positioned to have a great year continuing to build capacity to support the College. Our ability to bring friends, alumni and trustees into this great facility is a plus. This is the first meeting ever conducted in this new conference room and we're all in awe of the building's design and the capabilities it brings to educating our officers who come here as students."
Donald Spector, Chairman of Innovation Fund LLC (www.innfund.com), announced today that it has patented and developed technologies that will allow consumers to screw one of its Flavor Tops caps onto any bottle of water and turn it into a vast variety of beverages.
A consumer can take their favorite brand of plain bottled water, like Poland Spring (from Nestlé), and with a Flavor Tops cap turn it into a power drink, a soft drink, tea, or even an alcoholic beverage. These technologies can be used with concentrated powders, like Crystal Light, a brand of Kraft, liquids, or contain multiple product combinations. The caps can also be used for maintaining freshness of vitamins, additives or medications.
Donald Spector, who is also the Chairman of New York College of Health Professions (www.nycollege.edu), a world leader in Holistic Health and Education offering both undergraduate and graduate level degrees, says, “While the traditional distribution route might at first appear to be Coca Cola, PepsiCo or some other major bottlers, this product can also be distributed or licensed to food companies or even companies like Nike. Non-beverage companies have traditionally had entry problems breaking into the beverage industry. Government applications also offer great opportunities such in schools, where new laws banning high calorie drinks are going into place, as well as in the military.”
Default Research (http://www.defaultresearch.com), the premier provider of Detroit foreclosure listings, is reporting that 10,829 Detroit area foreclosures were recorded in the second quarter of 2008; this is down 3.5 percent from first quarter. The three hardest hit cities in the second quarter of 2008 were Detroit (3211), Warren (351) and Redford (302).
"It is positive news anytime foreclosures decline in a region," said Serdar Bankaci, founder of Default Research. "However, something to be aware of is that market indicators show housing inventories rose in the past month along with a decline in median home sale prices."
To compound that problem, Bankaci explained that the area may see an increase in foreclosures within the next twelve months as the U.S. auto industry is in the process of coping with the national fuel price crisis. He said, "With this area's heavy emphasis on the auto industry, we may be seeing foreclosures increase in the future."
While the residential foreclosure market has been slumping for several years in the region, the commercial markets have held their position. The commercial market provides investors with another avenue for investing and Default Research provides the most accurate information for all segments of properties including commercial, industrial and residential.
