				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.send2press.com/mediaboom/13-0214-truebridge_72dpi.jpg" border="0" alt="Truebridge Financial Marketing" title="Truebridge Financial Marketing" class="alignright" align="right" />BOSTON, Mass., May 22, 2013 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; Truebridge Financial Marketing, which provides banks and credit unions with a financial education marketing system, announces the addition of 28 new clients in just six months. More and more banks and credit unions are discovering that financial education, properly delivered, is a cost effective way to generate sales for all business lines, from deposits and loans to investments, insurance and trust.</p>
<p>&#8220;People are looking for help, and will do business with the one that is there to provide it,&#8221; says Stewart Rose, President of Truebridge (<a href="http://www.truebridge.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://www.truebridge.com" target="_blank">www.truebridge.com</a>).</p>
<p>&#8220;By leveraging our many retail delivery channels including our branches, website, email, and social media, we are able to start dialogues with customers and set up more sales appointments without adding a lot of extra cost,&#8221; says Ann-Cabell Williams, SVP/Retail Executive at EVB Bank in Virginia that recently signed on ( <a href="http://learn.bankevb.com/" class="autohyperlink" title="http://learn.bankevb.com/" target="_blank">http://learn.bankevb.com/</a> ).</p>
<p>Financial institutions know that regulators look favorably on this approach. The FDIC, FINRA and the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau all offer financial education and encourage the banks to do the same.</p>
<p>This industry shift from a product focus to a relationship focus is built on solid ground. A Forrester Research survey of 26,000 online households reported that people are 43 percent more likely to buy a financial product around a life event. &#8220;Any financial institution can sell product, but being there for someone when they need your advice during a life event makes you a trusted advisor, instead of a salesman,&#8221; says Joyce M. Dye, SVP, Strategic Planning, Redstone Federal Credit Union, Huntsville, Alabama.</p>
<p><strong>About Truebridge:</strong><br />
Truebridge, founded in 2000, provides financial institutions with the Smart Life Connect education-based marketing system that helps banks and credit unions market more of their products to a wider range of customers via multiple delivery channels, thereby increasing customer loyalty and profitability. In addition, Truebridge offers a wide range of marketing services to financial institutions.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.send2press.com/mediaboom/13-0522-jeff-fest_72dpi.jpg" border="0" alt="Chicago live music" title="Chicago live music" class="alignright" align="right" />CHICAGO, Ill., May 22, 2013 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; Jeff Fest Arts &amp; Music Festival is pleased to announce its three-day musical lineup and headliners including Dot Dot Dot, Magic Box and the Michael McDermott Band. Jefferson Memorial Park&#8217;s lush green lawn and ball fields transform into a giant backyard for all to enjoy over the course of the three-day festival from Friday, July 26 through Sunday, July 28, 2013. Located in <a href="http://jefffest.org/map-directions/festival-map/">Jefferson Park</a> on Chicago&#8217;s Northwest side, <a href="http://jefffest.org/">Jeff Fest Arts &amp; Music Festival</a> has become one of Chicago&#8217;s most highly anticipated neighborhood music festivals of the summer. </p>
<p>&#8220;This year&#8217;s Jeff Fest Arts &amp; Musical Festival there will be something for everyone and it&#8217;s worth grabbing your lawn chair, relaxing at the park, and listening to some great local and national bands,&#8221; said 45th Ward Alderman, John Arena. &#8220;This festival is meant for the whole community to enjoy. It&#8217;s designed for families and friends to gather. It&#8217;s simply a great way to spend an afternoon.&#8221; </p>
<p>Thanks to media partner, 93.1 WXRT Chicago, the three-day Jeff Fest Arts and Music Festival offers music ranging from soul, alternative rock, folk rock to techno pop. The festivals headlining band for Friday includes <a href="http://jefffest.org/calendar/">Dot Dot Dot</a>. The Chicago-based &#8220;energized pop-rock&#8221; quintet, Dot Dot Dot, is a rare breed. This band is building a fan base across the country and making a mark on the music industry on its own terms. By performing both cover songs and original music, the group explores every aspect of two distinct scenes. The cover show consists of fun hits from the &#8217;80s through today, and the original show hosts catchy songs from the group&#8217;s own growing catalog. Setting no boundaries-and a fearless desire to play music full-time-keeps this band moving forward.</p>
<p>Saturday&#8217;s headliner includes <a href="http://jefffest.org/calendar/">Magic Box</a>. Ed Anderson and Scott Tipping have been making music and mayhem together since the late &#8217;90s. Ed moved on to found roots rock trio Backyard Tire Fire in 2001. Scott went on to become a mainstay of the Chicago music scene, playing and touring with bands like Backyard Tire Fire, The Mighty Blue Kings, Peter Himmelman, and Cornmeal. Today, Magic Box, along Chicago musical heavy-weights Steve Gillis (Filter), Scott Stevenson (Robbie Fulks, Dick Smith), and Matt Thompson (The Mighty Blue Kings, Frisbie), stay true to their rock-and-roll tradition while transitioning into a more dynamic, harmony-oriented sound. Most of their new EP has been featured on WXRT&#8217;s Local Anesthetic. </p>
<p>Sunday&#8217;s headliner includes Rock Ridge Music Recording Artist, <a href="http://jefffest.org/calendar/">Michael McDermott</a>. McDermott is a singer and songwriter, performer and storyteller to the depths of his soul. He has an uncanny ability to communicate and connect with fans by way of universal truths through his own personal experiences. His 2012 release, Hit Me Back, represents a new chapter in his career as McDermott is a father, a philanthropic entrepreneur, and has experienced the loss of an adored parent. All are major life changes which have found achingly honest expression in his songs. </p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.send2press.com/mediaboom/13-0521-husky-haven_72dpi.jpg" border="0" alt="Fiesta Hermosa" title="Fiesta Hermosa" class="alignright" align="right" />PALMDALE, Calif., May 21, 2013 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; Want to know what Snow Dogs do in the summer? They go to Hermosa Beach, of course. Husky Haven of LA announced today that huskies will be coming to the Fiesta Hermosa annual event in Hermosa Beach this Saturday May 25 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The huskies will be located in front of the Comedy Store. </p>
<p>Beautiful, affectionate huskies available for adoption will greet guests with plenty of cuddles and kisses. Potential pet owners can learn all about the dogs for adoption and apply to adopt them ahead of time by visiting <a href="http://www.huskyhavenofla.org/" class="autohyperlink" title="http://www.huskyhavenofla.org/" target="_blank">http://www.huskyhavenofla.org/</a> . </p>
<p>Rhonda Hallden, founder of Husky Haven of LA, a 501(c)(3) non profit charity, rescued these dogs from high kill animal shelters where, without her help, they would have been euthanized.</p>
<p>&#8220;There are many beautiful pets for adoption available through rescues. There is often a misconception that pets that are in rescue or in shelters are &#8216;bad dogs&#8217; but the fact is that the majority are there for no fault of their own,&#8221; said Hallden.</p>
<p>Husky Haven of LA is dedicated to saving the lives of homeless, abandoned Siberian Huskies, providing food, shelter and veterinary care for them until they can find a loving home. Husky Haven is a volunteer organization and is in great need of volunteers and donations.</p>
<p>Nikita (pictured) is a beautiful, 2 year old Siberian Husky who will be featured at the event. Nikita is a sweet, active Siberian who is great with dogs and children and would be a wonderful addition to a family. Nikita&#8217;s information and video is featured on the Husky Haven of LA adoption &#8220;line up&#8221; at: <a href="http://www.huskyhavenofla.org/available_dogs.php" class="autohyperlink" title="http://www.huskyhavenofla.org/available_dogs.php" target="_blank">http://www.huskyhavenofla.org/available_dogs.php</a> .</p>
<p>Families interested in adopting Nikita or any of the other wonderful huskies available for adoption, should complete an application on the Husky Haven of LA website. </p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.send2press.com/mediaboom/12-0521-john-krause_72dpi.jpg" border="0" alt="Florida First Congressional District" title="Florida First Congressional District" class="alignright" align="right" />PENSACOLA, Fla., May 21, 2013 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; Today, Mr. John Krause has announced his candidacy for U.S. Congress, seeking the 2014 Republican Nomination for United States House of Representatives to represent Florida&#8217;s First Congressional District. </p>
<p>I began in 2009, my campaign to run for the U.S. Congressional seat for Florida District One against an 8 year incumbent. </p>
<p>As a conservative Republican, I have a strong sense of civic duty, a righteous anger over unfair policies, and motivated by dissatisfaction with the incumbent and belief the time has come for fresh new faces in Washington and to get away from the &#8220;Good Old Boy system&#8221; of doing things to make a real difference to the whole Washington political game. </p>
<p>We should be sickened by what &#8220;We the American People&#8221; have to tolerate for our choices in Congress. However, anyone who has ever run for public office understands the stressors, highs and lows, and the negative campaigning, but on daily basis, we still hear the same-old rhetoric, lies and deceit right from the scripted play books.</p>
<p>This is why I John Krause have decided to run again in 2014; to fight for a difference in the status quo, and make a real commitment to, and on behalf of, the people in my district.</p>
<p>PEOPLE FIRST! COMMUNITY FIRST! </p>
<p>After losing the election in 2010, we found ourselves being notified that we were being looked at not for one, but three (3) IRS audits had been issued for me within the (6) six months. Most people are surprised about long time incumbents using the IRS as an abusive whipping tool or a political &#8220;cat of nine tails&#8221; to punish or send a message to the challenger of the system or their office.</p>
<p>As I&#8217;m seeking the 2014 Republican Nomination for United States House of Representatives to represent Florida&#8217;s First Congressional District, I am often asked, &#8220;why would anyone want to run for public office, especially you? Weren&#8217;t you bullied, targeted, financially beaten and psychologically abused enough?&#8221;</p>
<p>I was, but as a Republican, I believe the time has come to get back to traditional Republican platforms and not traditional politics. We need to get back to representatives involving their constituents in the process instead of assuming what is best for them. It&#8217;s time for representation instead of political lobbyists; it&#8217;s time for constitutional values instead of the federal government controlling every aspect of our lives. It is time for free enterprise flexibility instead of being burdened with regulations, time for sound financial management instead of government irresponsibility, and it is time for politicians to answer to their constituents instead of thinking about themselves.</p>
<p>If you agree with me and think it is time to replace the incumbent(s)? Then I am asking you to elect John Krause for U.S. Congress for District 1 on August 12, 2014. </p>
<p>We need tangible leaders for getting Fair Tax!</p>
<p>We must shrink government in all agencies, excluding defense!</p>
<p>We must cut spending on both sides of the isle! Instead of cutting the increases they are awarded in Washington to spend as they see fit!</p>
<p>We must embrace and live by the entire Bill of Rights and ALL the Amendments to our Constitution! </p>
<p>We must strengthen the border and enforce the laws that are on the books for ALL Illegal Residents and activity.</p>
<p>We must give Florida&#8217;s First District a People&#8217;s Servant Representative for a true difference to Florida District One. </p>
<p>I am John Krause, and I am running for U.S. Congress in Florida&#8217;s First District, Republican. </p>
<p>YOU WANT A VOICE? YOU HAVE A CHOICE!</p>
<p>MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD! GET OUT AND VOTE!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.send2press.com/mediaboom/13-0521-epic-insurance_72dpi.jpg" border="0" alt="UnitedHealthcare" title="UnitedHealthcare" class="alignright" align="right" />SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., May 21, 2013 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; EPIC (Edgewood Partners Insurance Center), a retail property, casualty and employee benefits insurance brokerage and consultancy, announced today their release of the first in a series of Healthcare Engagement Videos. EPIC is providing the videos with production support from GuideSpark, a digital employee communications provider, and health insurance carrier UnitedHealthcare. </p>
<p>The series of three videos demonstrates how employers can engage their employees in important conversations about the role they play in the changing landscape of employee benefits and leading issues including healthcare reform (the Affordable Care Act). </p>
<p>Dana Liedel, EPIC Principal and Senior Benefits Consultant who developed the project said, &#8220;There is currently a tremendous amount of confusion and apprehension about healthcare reform and the impact it is having on companies of all shapes and sizes, as well as on their employees. As employee benefits advisors, we felt a responsibility to meaningfully educate our clients and potential clients about the changes ahead. Creating this video series is part of how we can create a deeper understanding of many aspects of the healthcare environment.&#8221;</p>
<p>The first EPIC video, being released today, covers the topic of benefits consumerism. It explains how employees can and should play an active role in their use of the healthcare system as well as their employer-provided benefits. </p>
<p><strong>In simple terms the video covers:</strong><br />
* Why become a smart consumer of healthcare?<br />
* How does health insurance work?<br />
* Why is healthcare a shared responsibility?<br />
* What goes into healthcare costs and how are they shared?<br />
* Why should I care about the price of healthcare?<br />
* What attitudes and behaviors about healthcare and insurance do I need to change?<br />
* How will I benefit from making these changes?</p>
<p>To access and view the EPIC &#8220;Benefits Consumerism&#8221; video, please go to <a href="http://www.edgewoodins.com/product/Employee_Benefits" class="autohyperlink" title="http://www.edgewoodins.com/product/Employee_Benefits" target="_blank">http://www.edgewoodins.com/product/Employee_Benefits</a> .</p>
<p>Two additional videos &#8211; &#8220;Understanding Healthcare Reform&#8221; and &#8220;Wellness Behaviors&#8221; &#8211; are in production and will be released over the next several weeks.</p>

<p>The announcement, made by CBA on April 12, states that a long-term care benefit will be made available to employees of member banks throughout California, with education and policy options provided through an endorsed strategic partnership between CBA and LTC Partners &amp; Insurance Services. </p>
<p>The long-term care insurance leader is known outside California as LTC Financial Partners, LLC (LTCFP).</p>
<p>&#8220;We think the CBA initiative is important,&#8221; says Cameron Truesdell, LTCFP&#8217;s CEO, &#8220;because banks are prime sources of financial advice; and their middle-aged and older clients sorely need such advice to protect themselves from the financial drain of uninsured long-term care expenses.&#8221;</p>
<p>The long-term care field is one of growing importance as millions of baby boomers approach retirement age and the care needs of an aging population are magnified. About 70 percent of Americans over 65 will need long-term care services at some point, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Few of the required services are covered by regular health insurance or Medicare. The un-covered expenses can quickly deplete retirement savings and investments. The average annual cost for nursing home care in the U.S. now exceeds $90,000, according to a MetLife survey. </p>
<p>&#8220;As California bank employees learn about long-term care protection for themselves, we think they will be better able to guide their customers,&#8221; says Truesdell. Already many financial advisors, based in banks, act as bridges to long-term care policy options. &#8220;Now banks can become more solid sources of the necessary education.&#8221; </p>
<p>Will the CBA initiative soon spread to banks in other states? Truesdell thinks it might. &#8220;Already we&#8217;re seeing signs of interest in the East Coast, Midwest, and elsewhere,&#8221; he says. </p>
