ECI Biotech of Worcester, MA highlights new protein technologies at Life Sciences Venture Forum.

DATELINE: WORCESTER, MA…
ECI Biotech of Worcester, MA, a leading edge protein sensor company, is pleased to announce that ECI was chosen to present at the 15th Annual Life Sciences Venture Forum in San Jose CA. For over a decade the Life Sciences Venture Forum has followed the tradition of being a showcase event featuring the most innovative and promising early stage technologies.

Life Sciences Venture Forum presenters are drawn from the Larta Institute’s commercialization programs, specifically National Institutes of Health Commercialization Assistance Program (NIH-CAP), as well as a vast network of university researchers and stand-alone entrepreneurs.

Dr. Mitchell Sanders, the CEO and Founder of ECI Biotech, highlighted ECI Biotech’s role as a premier developer and manufacturer of innovative, patented ExpressDetect diagnostic technology that enables rapid, easy detection of microbial pathogens. The ExpressDetect sensors that ECI Biotech has developed are low cost, rapid, safe, and simple enough for incorporation into a variety of products that can provide rapid infection diagnostics for use in professional as well as consumer OTC markets.

ECI Biotech’s product pipeline includes a diagnostic sensor for urinary tract infections, as well as advanced wound care systems that provide early warning of emergent infections and promote healing. The dressing sensor is simple enough to see a food grade blue color collect on the surface of the dressing, inexpensive enough that the components cost less than ten cents, generally regarded as safe (GRAS) to go on your skin or in a wound, and rapid enough to change color in 30 minutes to an hour.

A landmark on a long journey…Resort Maps hits 90- map milestone

WAITSFIELD, VERMONT…

Part of any journey are those landmarks you pass along the way. Mile markers, in particular, tell the story in how far you’ve come and how far you have to go. Resort Maps, creator of customized travel maps, recently passed a mile marker of its own, publishing maps in 90 cities and towns across the U.S. and U.K.

Resort Maps are colorful, hand-drawn maps of resort towns and cities. Free to area visitors, each map advertises restaurants, accommodations, retail stores, factory outlets, recreation and attractions, real estate and other local services. Each advertiser is represented with a display ad surrounding the map, including a color-coded grid locator and a building drawn, highlighted and labeled making it easy to locate.

“Ninety cities and towns is quite a milestone and one we’re quite proud of,” said Peter Hans, president of Resort Maps. “It’s a tribute to the hard work of both our staff here at Resort Maps headquarters in Vermont and our franchisees across the U.S. and U.K.”

Resort Maps began creating and publishing maps in the northeastern U.S. back in 1986. In an effort to continue the company’s growth and simultaneously keep the quality of the product, Resort Maps became a franchisor in 1993. Since adopting the franchise model, Resort Maps has grown steadily to 90 maps distributed across 20 states as well as towns and cities in England and Puerto Rico.

In 2009, Resort Maps will print and publish over 20 million maps.

“People usually pick up our maps when they’re on their way somewhere. By prominently displaying local tourist attractions and our advertiser locations on our maps, we point out what the local area has to offer. Many times that leads tourists to stay a little longer and check things out, which of course makes our advertisers very happy and explains why we go through so many maps,” said Hans.

And what of the next mile marker, 100 maps?

“Resort Maps is truly a unique and appealing franchise opportunity. It’s not a 9-to-5 gig and you don’t necessarily have to work 12 months a year to run a successful franchise. You just have to be willing to work hard when you work,” said Hans. “With more and more people looking to escape the corporate world for an opportunity that gives them some freedom and flexibility and great earning potential, 100 maps is certainly a tangible goal as we attract more franchisees– hopefully one we can meet within the next year.”

About Resort Maps

Headquartered in the Green Mountains of Vermont, Resort Maps has been creating and publishing advertising maps in the northeastern U.S. since 1986. In 1993, Resort Maps expanded its reach by creating a franchise model for distribution of its colorful, hand-drawn maps of resort towns and cities. Today, that network of franchises grown to nearly 90 Resort Maps in publication in the US and the UK, with several more in the process of being published. More than 20 million Resort Maps will be printed and distributed in 2009.

TMI Executive Resources Shares Top 5 Career Changing Pitfalls

With the epic number of layoffs over the past year and a tough job market, many unemployed executives are faced with the challenge of reinventing themselves. TMI Executive Resources (http://www.TMIer.com), a firm providing outplacement and career consulting services to thousands of clients around the globe, share their insight on potential career changing pitfalls.

In an article in the Harvard Business Review, “Beware the Pitfalls of Global Marketing,” the author began this way: “Shortcomings in a campaign, like over-standardization and poor follow-up, can fell a good product.” These shortcomings, which in many cases also handicap the job campaign, are thoroughly addressed by TMI Executive Resources.

The company’s team of expert consultants outlines the top five pitfalls that handicap the job campaign:

1. Insufficient Research. Formal research is not alien to marketing decision making, yet many a job search program has been kicked off without the benefit of a reality test. Job seekers need to determine answers to a number of key questions such as: How viable are my options? Which are most appropriate? Short-cutting this early step is likely to be costly sooner or later in one’s career.

2. Rigid Implementation. When a job search is burdened with too many conventional methods, inventiveness is lost. Objectivity, innovation and an individualized program consisting of a strong communications strategy (writing, personal presentation, negotiating) is necessary to stay updated and responsive to changing market conditions.

3. Poor Follow-up. Impressive meetings and splashy presentations to company heads are important “attention-getters” at the start of a campaign. But the momentum will be lost if these are not followed up by concrete steps to monitor progress, debate issues and solve problems as they occur. These post-launch activities can determine whether or not your efforts will be productive.

4. Narrow Vision. Narrow vision is a serious problem. In most cases only a single (non-objective) perspective is presented during the launch and beyond. Without a forum for debating issues and alternatives, and for developing solutions, decisions will be narrow and insular. This will inevitably hamper your marketing process. A key contributor to the problem is a job searcher’s insistence on a home-brewed recipe for self-positioning and self-marketing in an already crowded and competitive job market.

5. Over-Standardization. A standardized, off-the-shelf marketing approach taken to a job search can be dramatically limiting due to the current economic environment. Since the job market is dynamic and changing, flexibility should be built into your program’s implementation. Absence of flexibility becomes an obstacle to competitive advantage.

“TMI Executive Resources has developed an approach to help people avoid these pitfalls and find the right career opportunities at the right income. As career management experts we can bring great knowledge, convenience and speed to most people’s efforts,” explained Rick Story, Executive Vice President.

About TMI

TMI Executive Resources is a worldwide organization that provides professional career consulting and career management services as well as entrepreneurship consulting to executives. Founded in 1986, TMI has provided services to over 4,000 clients around the world and has grown to six locations on the East Coast.

Stoneham/DirectBuy blood drive to be held on July 22, 2pm to 8pm

STONEHAM, MASSACHUSETTS…

Supporting the blood supply is a community-wide responsibility. That’s why DirectBuy is teaming up with the American Red Cross to host a blood drive on Wednesday, July 22, 2009.

The American Red Cross blood bus will be at DirectBuy of Boston North’s 100A Fallon Road location in Stoneham between the hours of 2pm and 8 pm. Walk-ins are welcome. However, due to limited space in the Donor Center, the Red Cross encourages donors to make an appointment by calling 1-800-GIVE-LIFE or logging on to www.givelife.org.

As an added incentive for donors to make an appointment in advance, all presenting donors will receive a coupon for a free carton of Friendly’s Ice Cream. A scheduled appointment is required to receive the coupon.

“A safe and sufficient blood supply must be on the shelves when patients need it most, and the only source of blood is a generous blood donor,” says Donna M. Morrissey, Director of Public Relations and Corporate Affairs, American Red Cross – Northeast Division. “The American Red Cross is appreciative of DirectBuy for its support of our life-saving mission.”

The need for blood is constant. Every day, the Northeast Division must collect 2,000 units of blood just to meet the basic needs of patients across New England. The difference a donor can make in the life of a patient is something that cannot be overstated.

Blood can be used for patients undergoing many surgical procedures, organ transplants, trauma and chemotherapy. For some patients, such as the victim of an automobile accident, the need for blood is sudden. For others, ongoing transfusions are needed to sustain lifesaving medical treatment.

“As a member of the Stoneham business community, we’re happy to host this blood drive,” said Carl Krawczyk, managing partner of DirectBuy of Boston North.  “We urge our members and residents of the greater Stoneham area to come out and donate. Your donation could save up to three lives.”

Charitable endeavors are nothing new for DirectBuy. DirectBuy locations across Canada and the United States are active contributors to many local non-profits and charities, including the Boys & Girls Clubs, Salvation Army, YMCAs, Homes for Our Troops and Children’s Hospitals.

Since 1971, DirectBuy has helped consumers enjoy enormous savings on home furnishings, home improvement items, entertainment and outdoor products, and accessories, by providing an avenue to purchase directly from the manufacturer. Conveniently located at 100A Fallon Road in Stoneham, Massachusetts, just north of the City of Boston, DirectBuy offers members a comfortable setting, where they finally have the financial control of buying direct.

For more information on a DirectBuy membership, you can call 781-279-4433 or visit http://www.directbuycares.com. 

About the American Red Cross

The American Red Cross has been a primary supplier of lifesaving blood products in the United States for more than 50 years. The American Red Cross Blood Services — Northeast Division supplies a wide range of blood components, plasma derivatives, and transfusion services to over 200 hospitals and other medical facilities throughout Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Connecticut. It serves the blood needs of more than 9 million residents and many thousand more who travel to New England for care at many of the nation’s top medical centers.

*In the state of Maine and Massachusetts, persons who are 16 years of age are eligible to donate blood with parental consent.

Clean carpets and floors on the horizon…Green Horizons carpet and floor cleaning service to serve Metrowest, South Shore and SE Mass.

STOUGHTON, MA…

Green Horizons Carpet Cleaning and Floor Care, a division of Drysdale’s Total Floor Care, recently began operations for both commercial and residential customers to the west and south of Boston.

As the “green” in its name suggests, Green Horizons cleans rugs and carpets without chemicals. The low-moisture process Green Horizons uses, perfected over the last two decades, is better for the environment and avoids potential damage to carpeting, carpet
pads and to wood floors that can occur with “splash and dash” steam cleaners. Not to mention saving customers hours, even days’ worth of wet carpeting.

“When you think of carpet cleaning, environmentally friendly doesn’t exactly come to mind. You think of large machines with chemicals and steam,” said Micaela Parsons, who along with partner John McGrath, owns and operates Green Horizons. “The process we use truly is a green way to clean floors and carpeting. It has been recognized in a McGraw-Hill Book, Build a Green Small Business and our parent company is the only carpet cleaning business in New England listed in the National Green Pages.”

Besides recognition from green publications, the company has also received a “Best of Boston” recognition from Boston Magazine and maintains an A rating on AngiesList.

In addition to cleaning carpets, Green Horizons utilizes its natural cleaning process for:

●       Upholstery cleaning

●       Cleaning of tile & grout floors

●       Sterilizing of mattresses through the use of high-pressure, 300 degree
live steam (enough heat to destroy dust mite allergen)

●       Dustless sanding & refinishing of wood floors.

Based in Stoughton, Green Horizons service area extends from Boston west, to the South Shore and southeastern Massachusetts.

“We’re even happy to travel down to the Cape, all the way to Provincetown,” said Parsons.

King Collision Center looking to incorporate a high school Apprentice Program

Students in the Cooperative Education Program at Plymouth South High School learned about the vast career options in the collision repair industry during a recent tour of King Collision Center in Plymouth (http://www.kingcollision.com).

Seven Plymouth South students enrolled in the auto body repair program at the high school were able to get a first-hand look at King’s operations; tour the repair shop and ask plenty of questions. They learned about the numerous career opportunities at King Collision Centers, which range from managerial and customer care positions to those in collision repair, paint/refinish and detailing to Licensed Damage Appraiser positions.

“We’re in the process of developing an Apprentice Program at King Collision Centers to mentor teens who are in collision repair and graphic arts programs in high school. Those involved in our Apprentice Program would have the opportunity to work for King on a part-time basis,” explained Bruce King, president of the family owned business.

The company is looking to incorporate an Apprentice Program at their shops in Plymouth and Pembroke and is set to begin talks with the cooperative education program liaisons at the high schools in those towns.

“We’d like to have a program in place by 2010,” noted King.

Founded in 1984 by Bruce King, King Collision Centers provides superior collision repair and extraordinary customer care to thousands of clients south of Boston. King Collision is dedicated to earning customers for life and their team of professionals help clients through the collision repair process every step of the way – from coordinating a rental vehicle; providing accurate damage appraisal; assisting with the insurance claim process and ensuring that the vehicle is returned to its pre-accident operation, safety and value.
