kent, Ohio (PRunderground) December 30, 2008 – In a time of economic instability regionally and nationally, Kent State University’s administration is reassuring current and future students and their families – as well as residents contemplating returning to the classroom – of the university’s continued commitment to providing the financial resources to assist them in completing their college education, President Lester A. Lefton announced today.

With the reassurance, Lefton said Kent State remains fully committed to its aid programs, in particular student scholarships and university grants. Additionally, access to federal aid continues uninterrupted, according to Dr. Pete Goldsmith, vice president for enrollment management and student affairs at Kent State.

Since his arrival in 2006, President Lefton has made accessibility and affordability a hallmark of his administration’s excellence agenda.

“The commitment to making Kent State accessible, open and affordable to all students continues to allow the university to enroll a socially and economically diverse student body with incredible and increasing intellectual quality and achievement,” Lefton says. “Kent State’s support for financial aid continues to be one of the fastest growing obligations of the university’s budget. It is fundamental to our success that we make a quality education affordable for all families.”

Additionally, with one of the nation’s largest regional campus systems, Kent State offers traditional students and working adults cost-effective academic opportunities at one of its seven regional campuses in Northeastern Ohio.

“In these tough economic times, we know that some students and families need additional assistance or that some think that a college education is out of reach,” Goldsmith says. “We encourage current and potential students to contact the Office of Student Financial Aid to unearth every dollar available.

“In this economy, education attainment is crucial and we hope that our strong commitment to students, along with the financial options and services we offer, allows greater focus on students’ academic achievement and not the stress of financial worry,” Goldsmith said.

Some of the steps Kent State is taking include:

• Offering emergency loans to eligible students who encounter difficulties during the school year;

• Holding spring semester tuition rate at 2007 levels;

• Reaching out to freshmen students who do not re-enroll due to financial hardships to help them with the advice and support to overcome obstacles;

• Committing to protecting financial aid and scholarships despite budget struggles;

• Guaranteeing proportional increase in financial aid if tuition increases next academic year for our neediest students; and

• Continued fund-raising efforts to secure funds for student programs and scholarships.

Kent State has a deep commitment to public service, including helping the Northeast Ohio region, the state, and the nation compete in a global, innovation-driven economy. The eight-campus system is the largest producer of associate, bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate degrees in Northeast Ohio and the third largest university in enrollment in the University System of Ohio. Kent State contributes to economic growth every day, on every Kent State campus. The university produces a steady stream of well-educated and highly skilled graduates who are employment ready in the emerging fields of the 21st century as well as in traditional fields. The university also is training and retraining working adults who have been displaced by the loss of manufacturing.

As a partner with the State of Ohio and lawmakers in remaking the Ohio economy, each Kent State camps is thoroughly engage in its surrounding community, making available the rich resources of a comprehensive and diverse university and significantly impacting the area’s economic well-being and quality of life.

Norristown, PA(PRunderground) December 11, 2008 – Virtual Observer’s call monitoring features enable businesses to improve agent performance by using the recorded calls to evaluate agents, review screen activity, and analyze performance reporting. Liquid networks now offers a comprehensive Shore Tel solution set for the desktop within call centers with distributed architectures and multiple locations. Having the ability to provide a complete telephony solution for businesses gives Liquid Networks and their growing ShoreTel dealer network incredible leverage when competing against some of the other VoIP phone systems in the small, medium and enterprise business space. Leading with Virtual Observer gives all ShoreTel partners the opportunity and ability to turnkey call recording and call monitoring, which are extremely valuable tools for analyzing agent productivity and measuring performance in the call center.

As part of the ShoreTel “eco-system” of technology partners, Liquid networks and CSI now offer a fully scalable solution set to compete against NICE and Verint/Witness in the ShoreTel environment. Virtual Observer offers a similar robust feature set to those competing systems, yet at a much higher value to price. The various unique differences with this solution can be realized by businesses of all sizes.

Liquid Networks developed the first complete end-to-end call logging solution tested with ShoreTel with a TAPI integration to the native architecture of ShoreTel. Examining the marketplace, Liquid soon discovered the quality monitoring market for ShoreTel was bountiful. \”We wanted to partner with one of the industry leaders, rather than reinvent the wheel. Adding the Virtual Observer call monitoring solution\’s front end, on top of our call logger, was a fantastic opportunity to enter this space quickly,\” said Richard Tarity, President for Liquid Networks. CEI, a common customer, helped to introduce Tarity with CSI, and the Virtual Observer Logger for ShoreTel was soon a reality. “I was using VO before we purchased our ShoreTel system. Once I introduced CSI to Liquid Networks, I was amazed at how fast they came together with a single offering. We could leverage our existing platform with our new VoIP system and it has worked out well for everyone,” said Tom Osborne, Sr. Business Analyst for CEI.

While Virtual Observer will be well suited for smaller and medium-sized call centers, the system will also scale to multi-location enterprise customers. More and more businesses choose to transition their legacy phone systems to the ShoreTel platform, aiming to leverage the advantages of VoIP technology and gaining the benefits which unified communications can deliver. Liquid Networks offers a wide range of ShoreTel options, including centralized administration, single web based portal, and monitoring. With the entire Liquid portfolio of products and services now strengthened by the addition of the Virtual Observer quality monitoring suite, the Liquid dealer network can benefit greatly from this pairing.

Columbia SC, United States (PRunderground) December 09, 2008 – Columbia SC, United States, 9th December 2008: After taking a short break from the fashion scene, HandbagReport.com , one of the best loved Women’s websites dedicated to Handbags, is re launching this December, just in time for the Christmas season.

Since its original development and creation as an online boutique in 2006, HandbagReport.com has developed into a portal for handbag lovers, complete with a blog, news reports of upcoming events, features on designer brands and labels, giveaway competitions and seasonal trends amongst just about anything else that’s related to the creator’s favorite accessory.

After spending her childhood playing in her Mom’s closet, infatuated with her handbags, HandbagReport.com founder Staci Rutherford’s love developed into a full blown obsession. Staci decided she wanted to connect with others who shared her devotion and began a degree in manufacturing at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM). This qualification subsequently prompted her to communicate her extensive knowledge of all things tote, shoulder, hand and messenger with the world. Staci wanted the main differences between the HandbagReport.com and other accessory blogs to be that HandbagReport.com focuses on Haute couture, yet also puts a lot of focus on handbags which are on the low end of the price range.

“Our mission is to provide affordable handbags that make a statement” says Chief Trend Correspondent Staci Rutherford, “we understand that a woman wants to feel great about her look, especially her handbag, without going broke.

This step aside from designer handbags that only footballer’s wives can afford has given HandbagReport.com the edge that readers and visitors to this kind of website are looking for. Staci and website contributors Hermane Tracy Johnson and Angela Hunter include features such as contemporary trends, reports on various designers, ‘Haute Handbag of the Day’ and details of upcoming Handbag sales both online and offline to keep it’s readers up to date and connected.

As Christmas 2008 draws closer Handbag connoisseur Staci Rutherford is celebrating the re launch of accessory lover’s portal HandbagReport.com. This updated website not only features inexpensive accessories which really make a statement but also a blog, updated daily and focusing in on the two extreme ends of the market; haute couture and affordable stylish handbags .

New York, United States (PRunderground) December 08, 2008 – Since Barack Obama’s triumphant online campaign in the US Presidential Election, political, campaign and marketing experts have been looking at the ways in which they are distributing their news to the media and whether their methods need widespread renovation.

One example of how NOT using proper Internet marketing causes landslides in business productivity was given by the New York State Liquor Authority. When the SLA changed the rules as to when proprietors could apply for ‘all night’ New Year’s Eve permits they only did so through their rather complex and confusing website. Obviously very few businesses read the information and news given on the website regularly and the changes to the rules went unheard. When restaurant, bar and nightclub owners eventually learned of the changes, they put huge pressure on the SLA to extend the deadline and the whole process was inefficient. Simply put, they did not hit their target audience. This example documents the shift in the importance of Internet marketing perfectly and illustrates how important features such as Press Releases are. One of the primary methods in distributing online news is to create Press Releases for further distribution on PR portals such as PRunderground and in Google News.

PRunderground is an esteemed online Press Release distribution company who offer their customers distribution of highly targeted stories which stay at the top of search engines for days, even weeks and generate large volumes of traffic for the company in question. The staff at PRunderground are at the forefront of media and news distribution. They think it’s important for the Government to realize that simply because they have a state website for the people, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the information is getting heard by the people and that’s why they work together with Web Development and Internet Marketing Companies such as the Marknet Group Inc. . to generate viral marketing campaigns, email campaigns and search engine optimization along with their press releases. When done correctly it will generate a buzz and spread.

“We see a huge increase of traffic in our marketing campaigns when we use a press release” says Marknet Group Inc. . project manager Gina Nieves, “We are thankful that PRunderground has given us (and the many other customers they serve) the personal attention you usually don’t see a press release service provide”.

With more traditional forms of media distribution (e.g. the newspaper and the television news report) rapidly losing ground in campaigns and product marketing, online Press Release distribution website PRunderground is urging potential customers to take advantage of the power of the Internet and get in touch. How marketing and campaigning will be carried out in five years time remains to be seen, but with PR distribution sites like PRunderground it’s estimated to undergo a radical change for the better.

Power Cop Pro

Kansas City, Kansas (PRunderground) December 3, 2008 – The concept of the Power Cop Pro is simple and effective: It’s a small, lightweight gateway device that is meant to facilitate or deny the passage of electricity flowing from the wall socket (or power strip) to the television set. To provide even greater control, it’s got a built in timer that allows one to specify how long the television can be in use for each day of the week. This is ideal for parents who wish to regulate the amount of time their children can spend in front of the TV. The 7-day programming functionality makes it easy to adjust the settings for school nights and weekends accordingly. Once the Power Cop is hooked up and in place, children are likely to eventually get used to the set schedule.

Although it was designed with television monitoring in mind, the Power Cop can actually be used in conjunction with any device that uses a standard power cord. Another popular application of the Power Cop is to regulate the usage of video game systems while having the TV remain fully accessible.

To prevent the device from being tampered with or bypassed, the top lid can be locked into place with a special key. After the Power Cop is locked, it cannot easily be opened without the key. Until the unit is opened, it is impossible to unplug the device to re-route the power cord.

In addition to Parents disciplining their kids, the Power Cop may also appeal to those who are simply looking for a way to cut down on energy costs by using it to ensure that their TV (or whichever device they chose) is shut off after prolonged use. It’s also a great way to regulate the electricity usage of lamps, holiday lighting, stereos, and just about any other electronics. The Power Cop is just one among many of the new innovations brought to you by the team at Lorest Holding LLC

The Power Cop Pro will be available for purchase for the first time ever at www.Lorest.com in January of 2009.
