Pocono Summit, PA (PRWEB) June 16, 2006

On Thursday, July 6th, at 9 PM Eastern (6 PM Pacific), Commuter-Assist. com will have a special guest Larry Greenfield, from TrafficFlex.

TrafficFlex “The Traffic Jam Solution for Commuters on Cell Phones”.

TrafficFlex provides commuters with a better way to avoid or escape traffic back-ups by bringing together drivers on a free conference service where they can share information about their common traffic routes.

In a simple, why-didn’t-I-think-of-that? strategy, drivers pass information on to those behind them and get information from those who are on the road ahead of them.

This first “traffic community” was created in the suburbs of Washington, D. C., for drivers using the Dulles Toll Road and a nearby alternate, Route 7.

The service has been a huge success, with dozens of drivers calling in during morning and evening rush hours. Callers keep coming back because it really works, going beyond what radio traffic reports can do and giving commuters a new level of control over their “traffic destiny.”

TrafficFlex will be expanding soon, with new communities being created for other main traffic routes around Washington, and plans to expand into other cities in 2007.

Come learn about the cell phone “killer app” that is becoming a hot topic in the Washington suburbs and turning heads in the traffic management industry.

Find out more about how the service works, how it benefits drivers, how the service will be improved, and – the big question - “So how do they make money!?”

Perhaps you can convince Larry to bring TrafficFlex to your community.

You can ask your questions at the call and/or email the questions as they come up during the week or even while we are on the call.

Anyone is welcome to join, in addition to the commuters themselves, everyone who has contact with the commuter – family, friends, co-workers and employers is invited to join because we know that the commute affects them, as well.

Questions can be asked on the call and/or emailed to info@commuter-assist. com as they come up during the week or even while we are on the call.

This teleconference is a service of Commuter-Assist. com, free to commuters and all who love them, work with them, and employ them. Visit http://www. commuter-assist. com/teleconference. htm (http://www. commuter-assist. com/teleconference. htm) to sign up and the telephone number will be emailed to you.

Everyone will find this teleconference useful.

Join us!

Revolutionary Female Product, LaFemme, Featured in the March Issue of COSMOgirl! Magazine

Revolutionary Female Product, LaFemme, Featured in the March Issue of COSMOgirl! Magazine

LaFemme, a patented disposable female urination device (FUD)allows females of all ages the opportunity to use the toilet while standing. The perfect product for unsanitary restroom conditions.

BAKERSFIELD, CA (PRWEB) February 11, 2004

LaFemme the revolutionary patented female urination device (FUD), that allows females of all ages the opportunity to use the toilet while standing, is featured in Hearst MagazinesÂ’ COSMOgirl!-March 2004 issue. The issue features 16 year old star Hilary Duff on the cover. Duff has a number one album to her credit, is known as Lizzie McGuire, and is preparing to launch her own fashion, beauty and home-goods line this spring at Target.

The product is shown on page 102 and is featured in a story called “How Clean Is That Can?”, and is written by Senior Editor, Kierna Mayo. The article discusses the amount of germs that women are potentially exposed to when they use a public restroom. LaFemme is designed to help cut down on the exposure to germs by allowing women the ability to stand and not sit on a dirty seat when they use the toilet.

Research also shows that because of the fact that public toilets are dirty, women may opt to avoid a public restroom and wait until they can find a more suitable location. This has the potential to cause health risks associated with not using the toilet in a timely fashion.

About DBS Management Group:

DBS Management Group is a capital group based in Bakersfield, CA composed of business professionals who are interested in promoting nicheÂ’ products around the world. In 2003 DBS acquired the rights to manufacture and distribute LaFemme, a disposable paper product that allows women to use the restroom while standing. The product is featured in the March 2004 issue of COSMOgirl! Magazine. DBS Management Group also manufactures "The Outlaw" an ANSI and SEI certified cowboy hard hat, named the Safety Invention of the Year in 1998 (www. westernhardhat. com). The company recently launched AIM Indoor Adverting (www. aimindoor. com) with strategic partner and industry leader Creative Indoor Advertising.

Softshare Announces Full Commitment to HIPAA

Softshare Announces Full Commitment to HIPAA

Newly released suite of HIPAA transaction models for Softshare Delta represents SoftshareÂ’s first step towards enabling HIPAA compliance for all tiers of the health care community.

(PRWEB) January 4, 2002

SANTA BARBARA, CA. – December 31, 2001 – Softshare Inc., a leading provider of e-commerce products and services, today announced the release of a HIPAA compliant mapping suite for its popular data translation tool, Softshare Delta. The electronic data interchange (EDI) transaction models in this suite incorporate the implementation guidelines mandated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996.

HIPAA legislation was enacted by the federal government to make health insurance more affordable and accessible, in part by streamlining administrative functions such as claims processing and billing procedures. HIPAA requires that health care providers, insurers, and other organizations that electronically exchange insurance - or patient-related data use standardized EDI formats rather than the proprietary or customized formats used currently. Under the new laws, most entities must be HIPAA compliant no later than October 16, 2002 or face severe penalties.

Using the HIPAA mapping suite provided by Softshare Delta, health organizations can comply with these regulations by converting health care documents such as insurance claims into the standardized, ANSI X12 formats required by HIPAA. Furthermore, organizations that receive HIPAA transactions can use Softshare Delta to convert those transactions into the formats already used by their internal processing systems for instant integration into their existing operations.

“The release of the HIPAA-compliant mapping suite for Softshare Delta represents a boon to the health care industry and a significant milestone in Softshare’s ongoing commitment to HIPAA,” said Keith Severson, Softshare Sales Executive and HIPAA Project Manager. “In the future, Softshare will closely monitor all new developments in HIPAA legislation and continue to make cost-effective, easy-to-implement HIPAA solutions available to all tiers of the health care community.”

About Softshare

Softshare (www. softshare. com) offers a multi-tiered approach to electronic commerce with EDI/XML software solutions that range from desktop applications to fully integrated server applications. Supporting these applications is SoftshareÂ’s value added network and accessible customer service. Headquartered in Santa Barbara, California, Softshare has more than 20,000 clients using its various network, software, and EC services.

He's a certified aromatherapist who makes essential oils a part of his own daily routine and conducts hundreds of seminars on the subject each year.

"The interactive aspect of my in-person trainings is extremely enjoyable for me," says Blakley, "and it allows participants to ask specific questions on topics most useful to them. I'm looking forward to having similar personal exchanges as a part of these live chats, and answer questions that help people incorporate aromatherapy in their everyday lives."

Blakley will begin his program each month by presenting ideas and tips and then will take questions and encourage participants to share their own aromatherapy experiences. He emphasizes that people with all levels of aromatherapy knowledge are welcome to participate.
