			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>JACKSONVILLE, Fla. /Florida Newswire/ &#8212; <a href="http://POSPaper.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://POSPaper.com" target="_blank">POSPaper.com</a>, a leading Internet provider of paper rolls and other point-of-sale (POS) supplies announced this week that it is opening two additional distribution centers in Dallas and Chicago. They are expected to open in mid-November of this year. </p>
<p>&quot;Our goal is to enhance our already exceptional customer service,&quot; says Mike Anderson, co-president, <a href="http://POSPaper.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://POSPaper.com" target="_blank">POSPaper.com</a>. &quot;And, by adding these distribution centers to an already comprehensive network, we plan to not only meet, but to exceed our customers&#39; expectations. In many cases, when a customer places an order on our web site, the product is delivered the next day. This sends a positive message to our customers that we are committed to order execution and service.&quot; </p>
<p>Currently, <a href="http://POSPaper.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://POSPaper.com" target="_blank">POSPaper.com</a> distributes POS supplies from three distribution centers in Florida, California and New Jersey. The additional distribution centers in Texas and Illinois will help to reduce transit time to many existing customers. </p>
<p>&quot;Going from three distribution points to five will enable us to offer one to two-day shipping to more than 95 percent of the U.S. population,&quot; adds Anderson. </p>
<p>And, since <a href="http://POSPaper.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://POSPaper.com" target="_blank">POSPaper.com</a> has a stellar industry reputation, it enjoys a loyal customer base.

<p>POSPaper works with a wide range of businesses &#8211; &quot;mom and pop&quot; style operations to multi-unit hospitality and/or retail chains. For smaller businesses it provides discounts as deep as 40 to 50 percent less than prices at the big box stores for items such as bond and carbonless paper (similar to tray packs). And, larger qualifying companies with above average annual purchases may now enjoy a new wholesale pricing feature.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <img src="http://send2pressnewswire.com/image/10-1123-kapepur_72dpi.jpg" border="0" title="KapePur Coffee" alt="KapePur Coffee" class="alignright" align="right" />JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 23 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; As seen in the Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman movie, The Bucket List, EarthBee Foods is proud to announce its launch of 100 percent Civet Coffee &#8211; KapePur &#8211; undeniably the world&#8217;s finest coffee. </p>
<p>So, what makes this the world&#8217;s finest coffee? First, these Filipino coffee beans are ingested by a cat-like animal &#8211; the Asian Palm Civet. While inside the civet&#8217;s body, the beans undergo physical and chemical changes similar to a form of fermentation. Once they&#8217;ve been &#8220;deposited&#8221; on the jungle floor, the beans are collected by EarthBee&#8217;s Filipino-farmer partners and prepped for shipment. </p>
<p>According to expert coffee tasters in New Orleans, this 100 percent Civet coffee delivers a rich and smooth flavor, unlike any other on the market today. It has chocolaty, nutty undertones and no bitterness due to reduced protein content. </p>
<p>&#8220;And, we would not be able to deliver such an amazing product to our customers without the partnerships that we&#8217;ve developed with regional farmers in Mindanao &#8211; the second largest and southernmost island in the Philippines and home to our Civet coffee beans,&#8221; says Ben Johnson, Director of Partnership Cultivation for EarthBee Foods. </p>
<p>In the spirit of the holidays, sales of this unique coffee directly benefit the impoverished people of Mindanao.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have already made several corporate sales to banks and large law firms,&#8221; adds Johnson. &#8220;These are companies that want to provide that &#8216;wow&#8217; factor to its clients, and at the same time benefit the greater good.&#8221; </p>
<p>Since only 300 to 500 pounds of this coffee are produced each year, KapePur would be a rare and unique experience for any coffee lover. EarthBee Foods has designed two premium packages. The first retails for $92 and includes a beautiful collectible gift box; full-color storybook; a two-ounce bag of KapePur coffee; and a Bodum, three-cup French press. The second gift packet has the same items, but includes four ounces of coffee and retails for $137. Prices include domestic shipping and a certificate of authenticity. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>JACKSONVILLE /Florida Newswire/ -– Governor Charlie Crist today called upon United States Senators Bill Nelson and George LeMieux to support federal legislation that assists caregivers of seriously injured veterans, improves health care provided to veterans residing in rural areas, and makes other enhancements and expansions to Veterans Affairs (VA) health care. The Governor made the appeal while visiting troops and touring facilities at the Florida National Guard Headquarters in St. Augustine and the Wounded Warrior Project’s TRACK Center in Jacksonville.</p>
<p><img src="http://floridanewswire.com/META/fnw_charliecrist.jpg" alt="FL Gov Charlie Crist" title="FL Gov Charlie Crist" width="106" height="137" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-385" />“As we near Veterans Day, it is important to remember the generations of brave servicemen and women who have defended the freedoms and opportunities we enjoy every day as Americans,” said Governor Crist. “We are forever indebted to our Armed Forces and it is important that we express our gratitude by ensuring they have the best medical care and support possible.”</p>
<p>The Caregiver and Veterans Health Services Act of 2009 will ensure that the families and spouses of wounded veterans have the support they need to care for their loved ones. The legislation provides assistance in the form of mental health counseling, training, modest financial support, and health care coverage. Governor Crist emphasized that the increased assistance is necessary because of the recent medical breakthroughs that have lowered the number of combat deaths in modern warfare, yet increase the number of survivors with permanent injuries who require long-term care.</p>
<p>In his remarks at the Florida National Guard Headquarters, Governor Crist expressed his gratitude to the hundreds of guardsmen currently serving overseas, as well as those who have recently returned from combat. This month, 432 troops with the 146th Signal Battalion out of Pensacola and Jacksonville returned from Iraq. The Governor also paid tribute to the 2,450 Florida guardsmen in the 53rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team who in January will be deployed to Iraq for one year.</p>
<p>Earlier this year, Governor Crist signed House Joint Resolution 833, Homestead Ad Valorem Tax Credit for Deployed Military. The resolution proposes a Constitutional amendment that would exempt men and women deployed on active duty overseas from property tax on homesteaded property. It would allow an additional exemption based on the length of the overseas deployment. This initiative will go before voters in November 2010. If approved by 60 percent of voters, the tax exemption would become effective January 1, 2011.</p>
<p><strong>About the Wounded Warrior Project’s TRACK Center</strong></p>
<p>The Wounded Warrior Project’s TRACK Center is the first education center in the nation designed specifically for wounded warriors. TRACK students reside in Jacksonville for a 12-month holistic training experience for the mind, body and spirit. The first half of the program is primarily classroom-based, with support services including mental health counseling, performance training, and life skills classes. Classes are provided through the Florida Community College at Jacksonville (FCCJ), and credit can be applied toward a bachelor’s or associate’s degree, or vocational certificate. The second half of the program consists of an employment internship with local employers in the areas of information technology, general business, logistics, and more.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>JACKSONVILLE, Fla. /Florida Newswire/ &#8212; According to Global Strategic Alliance, in the past several months citizens have noticed unusual heavy military helicopter traffic over citizen airspace at an alarming rate. Some citizens report as many as one military helicopter per 15 minutes on some days. Sources concerned wonder if some secret mission is underway and the security of Florida&#8217;s citizens is in jeopardy. Some flights have been so low that individual citizens report close encounters over residential homes have been witnessed. Reports indicate that airspace over heavily populated residential areas in Jacksonville experience repeated cycles of helicopter patterns that seem to be targeting certain residential areas. </p>
<p>These helicopters are military and most likely from Jacksonville&#8217;s navy base. Increased helicopter traffic is witnessed at nights.</p>
<p>Has Homeland Security now invaded and revoked the rights of citizens to peace and privacy? Is there some type of military buildup or subversive mission being prepared that requires military helicopters to invade Florida&#8217;s citizens&#8217; peace and rest during months of airspace harassment by repeated flight patterns over specific residential areas? No mention in media has been noted regarding such military traffic.</p>
<p>Some citizens report that repeated military helicopter flights over their communities cause them to wonder if our government is now &#8220;spying&#8221; on its citizens under the disguise of terrorism. Is America&#8217;s government abusing its national security rights by spying on its own citizens for other reasons than national security?</p>
<p>Global Strategic Alliance urges all citizens who experience increased helicopter traffic to contact local T.V. news media for further investigation in order to alert our state and local governments that we are very concerned and very aware that such an invasion of individual rights is occurring and that we demand answers!</p>
<p>Global Strategic Alliance (<a href="http://www.GSAITM.org" class="autohyperlink" title="http://www.GSAITM.org" target="_blank">www.GSAITM.org</a>) is a Christian non-profit organization dedicated to helping trauma victims worldwide. It is committed to helping people overcome the disastrous impact traumatic crisis and to prepare America and the world for catastrophic events that will bring massive human suffering.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>JACKSONVILLE, Fla. /Florida Newswire/ &#8212; Texting is the new communication wave that is causing countless accidents on the road. This week, Textecution announced a user-friendly application for parents to install on their children&#8217;s phone to disable texting and Internet functions while driving. Jonathan Young, the president of Jonathan Young Enterprises, LLC, the parent company of Textecution(TM), said: &#8220;My own children were the inspiration behind Textecution. As a parent, I was concerned about their safety, and I felt that the temptation for them to text while driving was simply too great.&#8221;</p>
<p><img src="http://floridanewswire.com/META/fnw-textexec_72dpi.jpg" alt="Textecution" title="Textecution" width="180" height="180" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-58" />Studies have been done to prove that driving while texting is a leading factor in accidents, and nearly 50 percent of teens admit to text messaging while driving. This is an alarming statistic that now rivals driving and drinking in terms of danger and prevalence. </p>
<p>Textecution currently costs only $9.99, making it an inexpensive phone application that addresses the priceless need to kill texting functions while driving.</p>
<p>So, how does it work? Once installed, Textecution sits quietly in the background and allows the user to use their phone as normal. Once Textecution recognizes that the phone is traveling faster than 10 miles per hour, Textecution disables the phone&#8217;s texting function so text messages cannot be sent or received. When the phone is at rest or traveling at a speed less than 10 miles per hour, the texting feature is seamlessly enabled. To further help eliminate distractions, Textecution also has the ability to disable Internet functions at no additional charge.</p>
<p>Textecution could also prove to be beneficial to employers. Textecution could be installed on employees&#8217; cell phones, which would prevent employees from negligently causing an accident by texting while driving during the course of their employment duties, which would in turn reduce the employer&#8217;s exposure to any vicarious liability. </p>
<p>Currently, Textecution can be installed on an Android device such as the Google G1. The development team of Textecution at eLYK innovation is working on other Textecution versions, including one for the iPhone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>JACKSONVILLE, Fla. /Florida Newswire/ &#8212; Widely anticipated new book about the Atlanta Courthouse Shootings, written by respected trial attorney, turned author, Shoran Reid. &#8220;Waking the Sleeping Demon: 26 Hours of Terror in Atlanta&#8221; (ISBN: 978-0-615-20749-0, Rella Publishing), follows the terrifying hours Former Prosecutor Ash Joshi felt hunted by Atlanta Courthouse Shooter Brian Nichols and reveals new information about events prior to and after the tragedy. </p>
<p>In the early morning hours of March 11, 2005, defendant Brian Nichols was scheduled to appear in court for the rape and kidnapping at gunpoint of his ex-girlfriend. This was the second time in less than two weeks Nichols was being tried on these charges as the first trial ended in a hung jury. Nichols took matters into his own hands and brutally beat the female deputy responsible for escorting him to the courtroom and escaped custody with the deputy&#8217;s weapon and ammunition. Nichols methodically set out on a killing spree of the people he felt responsible for his predicament which included Ash Joshi. </p>
<p>In less than 15 minutes, Nichols held five hostages inside the chambers of Judge Rowland Barnes, crept up behind Judge Barnes sitting on his bench and executed him by shooting him in the back of the head. He then gunned down the court reporter, and managed to make his way outside the courthouse and killed a Sheriff&#8217;s deputy on the street. Nichols set out on a crime spree, which ended with the murder of an FBI Agent later that evening. Waking the Sleeping Demon offers readers an inside look into this tragedy from a perspective rarely told &#8211; that of the victims.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s easy to recall the first and last names of heinous criminals who tore apart families and spread fear throughout communities across this country. The likes of Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dauhmer, The Zodiac Killer or newly added to the list, Brian Nichols, readily come to mind. Sadly, what&#8217;s not as easy to recall are the names of the victims and their stories. In &#8220;Waking the Sleeping Demon&#8221; Ms. Reid attempts to change the vantage point of the American conscience from the fascination and glorification of evil, to the emotional pain these serial killers cause in the splintered lives of those left in their wake, and what as a society we should do to prevent it from happening again.</p>
<p>&#8220;Rather than merely putting victims&#8217; pain on display for a sound bite that would just as quickly be forgotten, I yearned to described their stories in a way that would make us all stop and ask what kind of society we live in if we continually dismiss peoples&#8217; bone-searing pain, yet relish in stories of &#8220;why&#8221; their tormentors committed such atrocities,&#8221; said Ms. Reid. &#8220;I hope that people come away from this book, knowing that I have tried to alter the discussion, maybe even change the view of the general public from glorifying people like Brian Nichols, to respecting the loss of their victims, while striving to accurately record a piece of history.&#8221;</p>
<p>Opening arguments began Monday, September 22 in the Atlanta Municipal Court Building.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>JACKSONVILLE, Fla. /Florida Newswire/ &#8212; Red Lime Products, Inc. has launched a new web site where customers can not only choose from an array of personal care products, they can design them as well. Established in 2005, Red Lime Products Inc. is an international direct distributor of private label indoor tanning lotions, custom personal care products, and the exclusive distributor of the bodibar(R) system &#8211; a patent-pending personal care system. </p>
<p>Prior to the launch of the web site, <a href="http://www.mybodibar.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://www.mybodibar.com" target="_blank">www.mybodibar.com</a>, these products were only available in retail outlets, tanning salons and spas around the world. Now, customers can put their creative combinations to work and order custom personal care products on line. </p>
<p>&#8220;While there are many personal care product companies out there, not many allow their customers to create unique fragrance blends, colors and ingredients,&#8221; Scott Johnson, CEO Red Lime Products, says. &#8220;You dream it; we blend it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Currently, personal care products available include: moisturizer, bodi gel, bodi mist, bodi wash, and tanning lotion. </p>
<p>Creative combinations abound with over one million possibilities available. </p>
<p>bodibartenders(TM) execute the orders and use the most accurate methods to dose out selected components directly into the retail bottle, ensuring a completely sanitary solution. The cap is placed on the bottle and put into the advanced mixing system that never touches the product, but instead &#8220;folds&#8221; the mix over 500 times. Custom permanent labels are applied to the bottle; it includes the mix recipe, blend date, best if used by date, and the name of the person the mix was created for.</p>
<p>Some of the more popular fragrances include jasmine, vanilla and citrus splash. And, if a customer wants a pink lotion accompanied by a blue gel a bodibartender(TM) can easily make this happen in only minutes. </p>
<p>bodibar&#8217;s products are also getting recognized by credible news sources. In February 2008, their bodibar(R) moisturizer was selected as the &#8220;Just-For-You&#8221; moisturizer by &#8220;Looking Fit Magazine.&#8221; And, an article in the &#8220;Island Sun Times&#8221; reported that tanning salon owners were simply raving about the bodibar(R).</p>
<p>Currently, the company is having a grand opening sale where new customers will receive 50 percent off. In addition, <a href="http://mybodibar.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://mybodibar.com" target="_blank">mybodibar.com</a> is firmly committed to giving back to the community. As a result, the company will donate $1 from each transaction to a local, reputable charity of the customer&#8217;s choice. </p>
