Patent for Breakthrough Brain Treatment Wins 2012 Edison Patent Award

March 21, 2013 (MMD Newswire) -- US Patent 8,088,091 "No Clog Shunt Using a Compact Fluid Drag Path", which was drafted and prosecuted by the patent firm Gearhart Law, was granted on January 3, 2012 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office to NJIT researchers Professor Reginald Farrow and Professor Gordon Thomas. Carl Georgeson, also at NJIT, managed the transfer of information between the professors and Gearhart Law and worked with Gearhart Law to facilitate the patent process. The researchers won a prestigious Edison Patent Award for the patent.

The Edison Awards are named after the most prolific American inventor of all time, Thomas Alva Edison. He obtained 1,093 US patents throughout his lifetime, and improved and modernized American life with his inventions. Among his most famous inventions are the light bulb and the phonograph. The Edison Awards recognize and reward innovators who, similar to Edison, improve lives with their innovations.

The patent that received the Edison Patent Award was for an improved method of removing excess fluid from the brain. Current technology uses shunts; unfortunately, shunts have a finite lifetime because they rely on holes that get clogged with body matter over time. US Patent 8,088,091 details innovative improvements in shunt technology that will aid patients who rely on shunts. The new technique reduces the need and frequency of invasive procedures by reducing clogging of the shunt and thereby increasing its lifetime. Most drainage systems have also relied on filters outside the brain but inside the skull. The new technology described in the patent uses an extracranial filter as opposed to older methods which used intracranial filters, meaning the physician no longer has to invade the skull to change the filter. The filter resides under a thin layer of skin which is easily opened when the filter needs replacement. Monitoring the flow of brain fluid is a crucial part of the process, and has been made less invasive in this new technology by using wireless methods to monitor flow and pressure of the brain fluid.

Gearhart Law was honored to work with NJIT and their researchers, who are on the cutting edge of developing new technologies to improve peoples' lives.

Petraeus joins the following distinguished ACP Advisory Council Members: Diane Bodman, Richard Danzig, Robert J. Dole, Christine A. Ferer, Dr. John J. Hamre, John P. Havens, Karen Hughes, Jack H. Jacobs, Vernon E. Jordan Jr., John M. Keane, William Kristol, Mary Jo Myers, Richard B. Myers, Lynne Pace, Peter Pace, Dennis Ross, James A. Runde, Peter J. Schoomaker, Henry Hugh Shelton, George P. Shultz, Lawrence H. Summers, and Paul Wolfowitz.

General David Howell Petraeus served more than 37 years in the U.S. Army, retiring as a four-star general in August 2011 to become the director of the CIA. In his final years in uniform, Petraeus led the "surge" in Iraq from 2007 to 2008, commanded U.S. Central Command from late 2008 to 2010, and commanded international forces in Afghanistan from 2010 to 2011. He then served as director of the CIA for 14 months.

David Petraeus grew up in Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York and graduated with honors from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1974. A graduate of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College (1983), he also earned advanced MPA and Ph.D. degrees in international relations (1985, 1987) from Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. He later completed a fellowship at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service (1995).

Petraeus was deployed for nearly 7 of the 10 years that followed the 9/11 attacks. He served in Bosnia from 2001 to 2002 as the chief of the NATO forces operations there. He subsequently led the 101st Airborne Division in the 2003 attack on Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq and then moved the division north, where it spent the remainder of the first year of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Shortly after returning to the United States, he returned to Iraq briefly to assess the Iraqi Security Forces and then for 15-1/2 months to establish the multi-national and NATO commands that were charged with the recruiting, training, and equipping of the new Iraqi military and police forces and their respective ministries. Petraeus returned to the United States in the fall of 2005 and took command of the U.S. Army headquarters that oversaw 17 different Army schools and centers, a position from which he directed the development of new strategies for counterinsurgency operations. Petraeus returned to Iraq in early 2007 to take command of the Multi-National Force-Iraq, the position from which he led the so-called "surge" in a new strategy against the insurgents and militia extremists that were responsible for a horrific escalation in violence in Iraq. Over the subsequent 19-1/2 months, violence was reduced by some 90%. He left Iraq in the fall of 2008 and became commander of the U.S. Central Command, overseeing operations in the Middle East and Central Asia. In late June 2010, he was selected to become commander of U.S. and international forces in Afghanistan, and he served in that post until July of 2011. Following his retirement from the military, he was sworn in as director of the CIA, a position he held until November 2012.

"We couldn't be more proud, or more excited to be working with the Texas Rangers for a third season," Steve McNeil said, Papa John's Operations Vice President. "Everyone in the organization has been fantastic and we think our new spot will showcase the outstanding partnership we share with them."

Created by Dallas' The Loomis Agency, the new commercial called "Whisper" is a heartfelt homage to the 1989 baseball classic, "Field of Dreams." In the spot, a group of players are taking batting practice at night when a mystical voice tells them, "If you score 7, they will come." Confused, the batter, played by former Texas Ranger Kevin Mench, asks the pitcher if he said something. When the pitcher says no, the voice repeats, "If you score 7, they will come." As the bewildered players look to center field for the source of the voice, a lone Papa John's delivery guy emerges from the bullpen in wonder of where he now finds himself. Upon seeing him, and the army of Papa John's delivery people behind him, the batter and pitcher repeat the voice's promise as they suddenly understand the cryptic message. At the end of the spot, the origin of the voice is revealed as Papa John's founder and spokesperson, "Papa John" Schnatter, turns to camera and whispers Papa John's classic tagline, "Better ingredients. Better pizza. Papa John's."

"Rangers7 has been an incredibly effective promotion over the past two years, but until now, it's all come through a presence at the Ballpark and fan buzz on Facebook and Twitter," Michael Tuggle said, LOOMIS Executive Creative Director/Writer. "This season, we wanted to come out of the gate strong with a TV spot that embraced not just the spirit of the promotion, but also the spirit of the game."

Creative Director Cecily Worthy, who art directed the commercial, agrees. "We knew the spot would be running throughout the season so we tried to make a commercial people would look forward to seeing from April to October. We're really excited about how the spot turned out," Worthy said.

To take advantage of Rangers7, fans simply have to place their Papa John's order online at papajohns.com and enter the promo code "Rangers7" the day after the Rangers score 7 or more runs in a game, win or lose. In 2011, the Rangers accomplished that feat 58 times on the way to their second consecutive American League Pennant. In 2012, they scored seven runs or more 43 times.

Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, Papa John's International, Inc. (PZZA) is the world's third largest pizza company. For 11 of the past 13 years, consumers have rated Papa John's No. 1 in customer satisfaction among all national pizza chains in the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI). Papa John's also earned the 2012 Harris Poll EquiTrend® Pizza Brand of the Year. Papa John's is the Official Pizza Sponsor of the Texas Rangers.

Heirs of Paul von Mendelssohn-Bartholdy file suit against the German state of Bavaria to recover iconic Picasso artwork, "Madame Soler", that was lost in Nazi Germany due to Nazi persecution

Washington, DC (MMD Newswire) March 29, 2013 -- The heirs of Paul von Mendelssohn-Bartholdy - a prominent Berlin Banker of Jewish descent who suffered Nazi persecution - announce that they have filed suit against the German State of Bavaria in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York to recover an iconic oil painting by Pablo Picasso, entitled Madame Soler (1903) from the artist's "blue period." See Julius H. Schoeps, et al. v. State of Bavaria, 1:13-cv-02048-UA.

The Mendelssohn heirs base their claim upon well-developed historical facts, the bona fides of which the federal court in Manhattan credited several years ago in a closely related case. See Julius H. Schoeps, et al. v. Museum of Modern Art, 594 F. Supp.2d 461, 466 (S.D.N.Y. 2009).

1. Paul von Mendelssohn-Bartholdy's loss of Madame Soler due to Nazi persecution

The Nazis took power in Germany on January 31, 1933 with a transparent agenda to exclude Jews - and Jewish banks and bankers especially - from the economy of Germany and to compel them to forfeit their property. Paul von Mendelssohn-Bartholdy was an immediate target of the Nazi regime given his prominence, wealth and social standing. The Mendelssohns were Germany's most prominent Jewish family. The famous composer Felix Mendelssohn was a family member, as was Enlightenment philosopher Moses Mendelssohn. Mendelssohn & Co. bank, established in 1795, was one of the five largest private banks in Germany.

By October 1934, Nazi policies and predation had obliterated the value of Mendelssohn-Barthtoldy's 22% equity interest in Mendelssohn & Co., causing his income to plummet from about 430,270 RM in 1932 (the year before the Nazis took power in January 1933) to only 59,374 RM in 1934. So in less than two years Nazi policies had diminished Mendelssohn-Bartholdy's income by a staggering 86%. In 1934, Mendelssohn-Bartholdy's annual alimony expense alone more than doubled his diminished income. By negating the value of Mendelssohn-Bartholdy's primary asset, Nazi policies and pressure compelled him to seek liquidity from alternative sources.

Mendelssohn-Bartholdy's superlative private art collection, established over many years beginning in the early 1900's, was one of his most significant assets and represented the only source of liquidity available to him to respond to his escalating negative cash flow deficit. Mendelssohn-Bartholdy's collection was comprised of about 60 master works by luminaries such as Picasso, van Gogh, Braque, Monet and Renoir, among others.

Between September 1933 and February 1934, Nazi persecution compelled Mendelssohn-Bartholdy to sell or consign some 16 of these master works - including Madame Soler - having never even attempted to sell a single major artwork in the previous 25 years. The Mendelssohn heirs maintain that the loss of Madame Soler represented a signal milestone along a path that Nazi authorities meticulously engineered to marginalize Jews and deprive them of their property which facilitated later mass genocide.

2. Bavaria's 1964 purchase of Madame Soler in New York

In 1964, the Bavarian State Paintings Collection ("BSPC") purchased Madame Soler in New York City from art dealer Justin Thannhauser who had taken possession from Mendelssohn-Bartholdy in 1934. Former Nazi party member and the incoming director of the BSPC Halldor Soehner represented Bavaria in the purchase. Even though Soehner knew that Mendelssohn-Bartholdy had owned Madame Soler - and was expressly aware of the painting's "Jewish Provenance" - he failed to ask Thannhauser the reasonable questions that the circumstances demanded: From whom did Thannhauser acquire Madame Soler? When did Thannhauser acquire it? What, if anything, did Thannhauser pay for it?

3. Bavaria's current refusal to restitute Madame Soler, or even to apply to this claim its own prescribed criteria for Holocaust era restitution cases

In 2009, the Mendelssohn heirs sought restitution from the BSPC for Madame Soler. Notwithstanding its awareness of the clear evidence of a forced transfer from Mendelssohn-Bartholdy set forth above, the BSPC refused the exhaustively documented claim of the Mendelssohn heirs to return Madame Soler. Moreover, the BSPC failed to apply to this claim the criteria that it and other German states had specifically prescribed to resolve such controversies and which were expressed in a Common Statement as well as related Guidelines. In addition, the BSPC refused the request of the Mendelssohn heirs to submit their claim to the German Limbach Commission, which the German federal government and its constituent states established specifically to hear claims for the recovery of Nazi era artworks and to decide these claims in a non-binding, equitable and fair manner. Accordingly, the BSPC gave the Mendelssohn heirs no option but to file suit in New York to reclaim the painting.

They also dominate the real estate industry, clothing, textile and jewelry industries in Los Angeles. Another industry being dominated by young Iranian-Americans is the internet industry.

During the past 10 years four young Iranian-American entrepreneurs have been slowly building web empires in Los Angeles. They have done so under the radar and have amassed a great deal of wealth and recognition in the online industry while creating jobs and some of the most useful web properties on the internet. These four young, bright, successful internet CEO's have founded web businesses that collectively cater to over 100 million users per month.

Like most high tech start up's, you won't find stuffy suit wearing millionaires with these four. Each having their own individual sense of style, but all four have something in common. Jeans, tennis shoes, and t-shirts. Similar to FaceBook's Zuckerberg who made wearing a sweater and flip flops to work popular, these four internet tycoon's run massive internet empires employing a large staff while generating seven figure sum's in the process. However, if you saw them, you wouldn't even know it.

Meet the four internet whiz kid's changing the internet landscape in Los Angeles one idea at a time:

Kamran Pourzanjani

Bestcovery.com was founded in 2008 by Kamran Pourzanjani, who is also an angel investor. Bestcovery is basically a quick and easy way to find the best of everything. The company's experts help you find the product that is best for your individual needs. Before founding Bestcovery, Pourzanjani was co-founder and CEO of PriceGrabber.com. PriceGrabber quickly became one of the most popular comparison shopping websites and had an enterprise value of about $500 million when he sold it in 2005. In recognition of the company's exceptional growth and performance, Mr. Pourzanjani won the coveted Ernst & Young's "Entrepreneur of the Year" for the Business Services category in June of 2005 in Los Angeles. He is also an early investor in ShoeDazzle, Legalzoom, and Docstoc.

Robert Bobby Kalili

In 2007, Kalili founded SearchBoth.com and today serves as the CEO. SearchBoth enables users to search both Google & Yahoo side by side on one split screen. Aggregating search engines is nothing new for Kalili. He has successfully aggregated shopping sites with DiscountMore.com, travel industry with Comparison.travel and real estate industry with RentCompare.com. Today, he operates a network of over 1,000 web properties generating over 10 million users per month. Before founding his internet empire, Kalili founded Toll Free Yellow Pages, Corp; a software business that owned four very valuable toll free numbers, 1-800-YellowPages (888, 877 and 866) and Federal Trademark rights to the four words TOLL FREE YELLOW PAGES. After developing one of the first voice automated telephone software programs for the YellowPages industry, the company got acquired by AT&T for an undisclosed 8 figure sum. Kalili was also an early investor in Go2net (GNET) in 1996 which got acquired by InfoSpace in 1999 for $4.2 billion.

Farhad Mohit

Farhad Mohit is the founder and CEO of Cheerful Inc. makers of Cheers - the "like button" for the world around you, and Gripe - a much better Better Business Bureau for the age of social media. Prior to these Mohit created Shopzilla.com and helped manage it through the bubble of 2000, to profitability by 2003, and a successful acquisition for $569 million by EW Scripps (SSP) in 2005. In the process Shopzilla became and remains one of the largest, fastest growing and most successful shopping search engines in the world. Now he has a new super stealthy startup called DotSpots. The startup raised a seed round of $300,000 last September from Mohit and HitForge, the angel fund run by engineers. (HitForge is also an investor in WeGame and Mesmo.tv). Mohit hints that DotSpots "will make my other ideas to date look like child's play".

Jason Nazar

In 2007, Nazar founded Docstoc.com with co-founder Alon Schwartz. Today he is the CEO. Docstoc is an online community to find and share professional documents; it currently houses over 20 million documents with more than 25 million registered users. Before starting Docstoc, Nazar founded Choice Speakers Inc., was a partner at Venature Capital and Consulting and created Startups Uncensored, the longest running and most widely attended technology gathering in southern California, which regularly brings together thousands of entrepreneurs, techies and investors. Before starting Docstoc, he was a partner in a venture consulting firm in Los Angeles where he worked with dozens of startups. Jason was named one of the "Most Admired CEOs in Los Angeles" by the LA Business Journal, but he's more proud of his three point shot and ping pong skills.

Bruce Katz, vice president and director of the Metropolitan Policy Program at Brookings said, "In every market we visit, we seek out firms that exemplify the Next Economy -- driven by exports, fueled by clean energy and powered by innovation; Suniva is clearly best in class."

Combining Brookings' deep expertise in fact-based, metropolitan-focused research with funding from JP Morgan Chase, the five-year, $10 million Global Cities Initiative provides major metropolitan leaders with the information, actionable policy ideas and global connections they need to improve trade relationships and enhance their ability to compete in a global economy. Four to five U.S. forums and one global forum will be conducted each year. The first global forum was held in late 2012 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

One of the main events was the standing-room-only public presentation, Going Global: Boosting Atlanta's Economic Future, presented by Bruce Katz. Suniva's CEO, John Baumstark, spoke on the three-person response panel along with Mayors Reed and Daley. Baumstark was also invited to serve on the steering committee for the Atlanta Regional Export plan, which was announced at the forum.

"Suniva's participation in the Global Cities Initiative is an ideal partnership because of the international nature of our industry and our leadership in exports and global trade," said Baumstark, who in 2010 accepted the award from President Obama for Renewable Exporter of the Year (2009), awarded by the Export-Import Bank of the United States. "It is critical for American companies to develop a focused strategy for increasing global trade, and that becomes easier with the first-class strategists and researchers at Brookings working to help major metropolitan areas develop export plans."

Atlanta ranks 13th among metro areas in the U.S., with $20 billion in export value, according to a 2012 Brookings study. "Suniva is proud to be doing our part to strengthen the U.S. global economy, as well as demonstrating American innovation and competitiveness," added Baumstark.

Boca Raton, FL (MMD Newswire) April 4, 2013 -- Connect Address introduces the next generation of interactive shopping by releasing its revolutionary address-less shopping feature, leading to an entirely new online and in-store experience.

Recognized by its universal map pin-drop design, this innovative technique drastically increases sales by freeing shoppers of ever having to remember a delivery address. The responsive feature automatically uploads the missing delivery address directly to your shopping cart after giving the recipient control of where they want their gift sent to.

This patent-pending feature creates and defines an entirely new category and has already gained the attention of several Fortune 500 companies, recognizing a significant opportunity to increase revenues and connect with new potential customers.

A driving force behind the revenue generation lies in the psychological push developed through personal interaction: When the buyer requests the delivery address directly from the recipient, a strong social commitment to complete the purchase is created, fulfilling the recipient's expectations.

One of the exciting key features companies found most compelling is the use of their own brand identity promoting a second sale by connecting recipients directly back to their website. Connect Address solves the missing address problem for online, mobile, and in-store use through a simple one-click implementation process.

"Now it's impossible to send a purchase to the wrong address and every address automatically loads directly to your shopping cart. For the consumer, we believe Connect Address represents a new freedom providing easy access to more than 1 billion correct delivery addresses." Said Cass Riese, co-founder of Connect Address. "Double-dip your sales with every new request by gaining powerful exposure to previously unapproached customers. Our address-less shopping solution makes purchasing faster and easier, as shoppers will never have to remember a recipient's delivery address again."

Currently compatible with four of the largest open source shopping carts, including WP e-Commerce, WooCommerce, eShop, and Cart66, Connect Address is quickly becoming the de-facto way to shop online and in-stores, giving the recipient total control of where their product is delivered to.

With its official worldwide launch on April 6th at WordCamp Miami 2013, a new era of online and in-store shopping will commence.

After ending his career as a machinist and being refused assistance by an employment placement agency due to his use of a walker, Hill a became a webmaster, launching AbilityJobsPlus.com in 2012. He has continued to modify the site's design and function, leading up to the newest release, which now provides not only job search capabilities specifically crafted for Americans with disabilities, but also valuable resources for living with disabilities.

"No one who is disabled should be made to feel the way I did at that placement agency," says Hill. "I researched employment with the disabled community and sought out a solution to how to fix a problem that blankets the country, especially now that we have military personnel returning home with mental and physical injuries."

Employers can post job listings and search resumes for qualified job seekers in their area. Job seekers can post their resumes and search for jobs by location, type, or company, as well as get e-mail update of new jobs listings.

Unlike other sites that target disabled job hunters, AbilityJobsPlus.com's employment listings are exclusively available to members, with no fear of them being released to the general population before having a chance to apply.

"There are 54 million disabled US citizens and more than three million disabled and unemployed military veterans," Hill observes. "This has pretty much been brushed under the carpet, but now we have a job site that caters to those with a disability who want to find employment. We can match them with companies that hire people with disabilities... and since this is a safe community, members won't feel like they are third class citizens in their own country."

Hill has turned to IndieGogo.com to raise funds for further expansion and growth in what he describes as "the movement to change the way the world views disabilities."

The Social Brand Amplifier™ builds on Facebook's native Parent-Child infrastructure (which lets businesses connect their corporate Facebook pages to all of their local ones) by allowing brands to update and manage all of their local Facebook pages easily and efficiently from one dashboard. The Social Brand Amplifier™ software, which is unique to Reshift Media, enables companies to cascade national, regional and localized content across all of their Facebook pages or to custom groups based on geography, demography and other criteria. In addition, Reshift Media has developed a unique consolidated analytics and notification platform which can be customized on a client-by-client basis.

"The Facebook Parent-Child structure is a great first step for multi-location businesses, especially as it's becoming increasingly important for Facebook pages to be linked to a local address for mobile and Facebook Graph Search," said Mahmoud Ghali, VP of Technology at Reshift Media, a digital marketing company specializing in social media, search and mobile. "But setting up hundreds of local Facebook pages is not ideal if you don't have the resources to actively manage each one. The Social Brand Amplifier™ really is the best of both worlds; it allows the brand to cascade relevant content including promotions and offers, while still allowing for strong local involvement."

The UPS Store Canada is the first to implement Reshift Media's Social Brand Amplifier™ software. As part of the initiative, The UPS Store has launched a comprehensive Facebook strategy for its more than 360 locations, providing valuable information and tools for its customers and local small business owners through its national network of franchises. This will allow The UPS Canada Store to establish a strong corporate Facebook page while also reaching and engaging their local customers through pages dedicated to each store and its community.

"We know that our small business clients are increasingly using social media and mobile to interact with customers and suppliers to transact business," said David Druker, President of The UPS Store Canada. "Our objective is to assist small businesses by providing helpful tools and information wherever and whenever they need them, using both our national and local Facebook pages."

As part of the initiative, The UPS Store Canada is also working with Reshift Media to relaunch its website (www.theupsstore.ca), including all of its local properties (www.theupsstorelocal.ca). The website will incorporate leading-edge responsive design and include small business-focused functionality to ensure clients can easily access all of the services The UPS Store provides through both web and mobile, including shipping and parcel tracking, printing services, mailboxes and packaging. Small businesses can expect to see new features launch over the next several weeks.
