Department of Defense Announces Winners of $18.0 Million Fund to Improve Battlefield Energy Security

No. 068-12

Washington (MMD Newswire) January 31, 2012 -- The Department of Defense (DoD) today announced the release of $18.0 million to fund six military programs to reduce the energy demand of future expeditionary outposts. The funds will support efforts to develop and rapidly transition energy technologies for the combat force, resulting in improved military capabilities, fewer energy-related casualties, and lower costs for the taxpayer.

"It's essential that we continue to develop innovative energy solutions to advance our military missions and use our precious resources wisely," said Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta. "The Department is taking the lead on this because saving energy on the battlefield means saving lives and money."

Fuel can be a tactical and operational vulnerability on the battlefield. In the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, adversaries have frequently targeted U.S. fuel supply convoys, putting troop lives and missions at risk and diverting combat forces and dollars to force protection.

"A military force that uses energy more strategically is stronger, today and in the future," said Sharon E. Burke, assistant secretary of defense for operational energy plans and programs. "As the Department reshapes the force to build a more agile, flexible military capable of responding to the full range of future challenges, the work of the six teams funded under this effort will give our troops better energy options on the battlefield."

Defense Department-led teams representing the military services and the Department of Energy will receive the funds. To link small businesses and entrepreneurs to the teams, DoD will host an information session in March, along with the Small Business Administration. More information about this event can be found at http://www.acq.osd.mil/osbp/operationalenergy.

"An important objective of this fund is reaching sources of energy innovation new to the Department, which primarily are small businesses," said Andre Gudger, director of the Department's office of small business programs. "By leveraging small businesses and entrepreneurs to accelerate energy innovation for our warfighters, we strengthen our security, modernize our industrial base, and promote economic development at the same time."

Winning teams were chosen based on submissions to a June 2011 call for program proposals. Additional information about the teams can be found at http://energy.defense.gov. The assistant secretary of defense for operational energy plans and programs, a position established in 2009 to strengthen the energy security of military operations, will administer the funds. Congress provided resources for these programs in the 2012 Omnibus Appropriation Act.

Plan your wedding anywhere and everywhere - for free

MELBOURNE, Australia / PRBuzz.com / January 31, 2012 -- Australia's No.1 wedding website, award-winning Easy Weddings, has debuted its first iPad app, an all-in-one wedding planning app - and it's 100% free.

Containing six fully functioning wedding planning tools, the Easy Weddings iPad Planner allows brides-to-be (and their grooms, of course) to plan every aspect of their wedding from the moment they are engaged.

The app contains a budget planner; guest list manager; seating planner, to do checklist, suppliers directory/list and bridal notes function.

"After months of research and even more time spent building the Easy Weddings iPad Planner, I can honestly say I believe it to be the best wedding planner available for the iPad,'' says Matt Butterworth, Managing Director of Easy Weddings, Telstra's 2011 Victorian Business of the Year.

"We've been in the wedding business for more than a decade, so we know exactly what anyone planning a wedding needs to know, what they needs to do and what order they need to do it in. So, we've bundled all that experience into a single app.

"It's exactly the type of app my wife and I needed when we got married, and the best bit is that we've made it available to anybody with an iPad absolutely free."

The Easy Weddings iPad Planner allows you to take your wedding planning wherever you go, be it to a potential reception venue, where you can take pictures and add them to a file with supplier notes, or plan seating for your big day, whether you've got 10 guests or 100.

The core Easy Weddings iPad Planner tools include:

Budget planner: Keep track of your entire wedding budget. Your Budget planner will even makes price suggestions for individual items and services based on your overall wedding budget. Most importantly, it will warn you when you're over budget.

Guest list manager:
No matter how big or small your wedding will be, you can manage your entire guest list from within the app. You can keep an eye on RSVPs and food choices, group guests and even import friends from Facebook.

Seating planner: Seating your guests is a snap with the Easy Weddings seating planner. Simply import your guest from the Guest List module and you can add them to tables of any size and move them about. It's a fuss-free, visual way to organize who's sitting where (and with whom) on your big day.

To Do list: Containing 135 suggestions of what needs to be done, and in what order to do them, your To Do list will ensure stress-free wedding preparations. It's the ultimate To Do list - and even tells you what needs doing after the wedding.

Suppliers directory/list: A simple and efficient way to store details about your favourite suppliers (or ones you may use), as well as related images. You can add suppliers in 32 categories, everything from wedding gowns and photographers to venues and florists.

Bridal notes: Every bride needs to keep notes, and you can make and store as many as you need from within your Easy Weddings planner.

"It's an indispensible tool for modern brides-to-be and can be used from the moment you are engaged to well after the wedding. In fact, because things like To Do lists, Seating planners and Budget calculators can be used to plan and organise any event, so newlywed couples will be able to use it long after they've returned from their honeymoon. Maybe even for a baby shower?" says Butterworth.

The Easy Weddings iPad Planner is available from Apple's iTunes App store for free here
.
You can also get the Easy Weddings directory free for your iPhone and Android smartphones here.

eHelps Introduces Powerhouse Anti-Aging Natural Supplement

City of Industry, California  / PRBuzz.com / January 31, 2012 -- eHelps, a leading maker of natural supplements in the market, is introducing a new all-natural solution that helps fight aging caused by free radicals. Knowing the concern of many to look younger and combat wrinkles, darks spots on the skin, and deterioration of good health, while cleansing free radicals from our body, the brand aims to help consumers with their products and make age a non-factor with BioOxy, an anti-aging supplement.

BioOxy is a blend of extract powders from plants known to cleanse the body from free radicals like pine bark, a powerful antioxidant and helps act as a natural anti-inflammatory, and acai berry, which contains some of the highest level of antioxidants more than any other fruit in the market. Antioxidants counter oxidation, the process by which free radicals damage healthy cells in the body, resulting in numerous health risks like a weakened  immune system and other diseases and general health issues the that body needs to protect itself against. BioOxy helps restore and prevent some of the damages caused by these free radicals that can lead to health problems.

About 200,000 free radicals attack a healthy cell each second. For consumers concerned about taking action to fight the free radicals and other culprits that deteriorate health and protect against aging, BiOxy is an ideal solution. "The proprietary blend in BioOxy can help protect against free radicals with antioxidants," states marketing director, Amanda Tostado. Studies recommend maintaining a diet rich of antioxidants as the number one solution to staying youthful and having a healthy body. By taking one or two capsules per day before or after each meal, BioOxy can help consumers stay healthy and age properly. It is only a matter of time depending on a person's metabolism for the results to show, but the longer a consumer uses BioOxy, the more it improves the immune system and promotes younger, more radiant skin and helps to alleviate other underlying health conditions. BiOxy is also recommended for people who become easily irritated by environmental factors or experience dizziness, memory loss, reduced physical health, and other subhealth conditions.

eHelps offers BioOxy for only $29.50. Each bottle contains 60 capsules of this powerhouse, anti-aging natural supplement.

For more information on BioOxy, go to www.MyeHelps.com

Acupuncture Thriller Launches Free Directory For Holistic Healers in Illinois

/ PRBuzz.com / January 31, 2012 -- Chris Titus, author of The God Complex, today announced the launch of a free directory for holistic practitioners in Illinois.  The directory acts as a link exchange, allowing practitioners with websites to add their business logo and link in exchange for adding the book's logo to their website.  The directory is in the shape of Illinois and offers limited space for logos in each geographic area.  

The main visitors to the directory will be readers of The God Complex after they have solved a gripping mystery in which the clues are rooted in Eastern medicine.  Paul Benson, one of the leading characters, flies to Prague to tie up the loose ends of his brother's life after a mysterious death.  The inspector in charge of the investigation asks for his help in piecing together the journals his brother left behind.  As he works his way through the journals, secrets to a diabolical plot using Chinese medicine begin to emerge.  At the same time, an unknown assailant is using these techniques to exact a chilling revenge.  Is it the same person who killed his brother?  As readers follow these two overlapping journeys, they acquire a basic understanding of the principles of Chinese medicine.  At the conclusion of the story, readers are pointed to the directory at a time when they will be most interested in finding a holistic practitioner.

About The God Complex
The God Complex falls into the 'faction' genre, combining the author's actual fifteen year medical crisis with a fictional story line.  The result is a thrill ride through Chinese medicine that allowed Titus to spread his own story across multiple characters and settings.  The journal entries are direct excerpts from the author's personal journal.  By wrapping his story in an engaging mystery, readers are able to experience much of the same discovery process that comes with such a journey.  After frantically running to over 140 physicians, Titus found his cure in Chinese medicine and imparts many of the lessons he learned as a student of numerous doctors and martial artists in Boston's Chinatown.  In addition, he weaves in a number of details and experiences regarding Western medicine that he acquired as both a patient and as an investment research analyst covering the health care sector.

Hacker's Demo Shows How Easily Credit Cards Can Be Read Through Clothes And Wallets

http://blogs-images.forbes.com/andygreenberg/files/2012/01/contactless.jpg

Pull out your credit card and flip it over. If the back is marked with the words “PayPass,” “Blink,” that triangle of nested arcs that serves as the universal symbol for wireless data or a few other obscure icons, Kristin Paget says it’s vulnerable to an uber-stealthy form of pickpocketing. As she showed on a Washington D.C. stage Saturday, she can read all the data she needs to make a fraudulent transaction off that card with just a few hundred dollars worth of equipment, and do it invisibly through your wallet, purse, or pocket.
