				<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>

		<description><![CDATA[MIAMI, Fla., May 13, 2013 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Biscayne Bay, an international broker headquartered in Sao Paulo, Brazil, announced its intention to expand its real estate activity to include Palm Beach County, starting today.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.send2press.com/mediaboom/13-0513-rogerio-bastos.jpg" border="0" alt="Rogerio Bastos" title="Rogerio Bastos" class="alignright" align="right" />MIAMI, Fla., May 13, 2013 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; Biscayne Bay, an international broker headquartered in Sao Paulo, Brazil, announced its intention to expand its real estate activity to include Palm Beach County, starting today. </p>
<p>After a very successful period marketing distressed investment properties in Dade and Broward counties, the company will begin marketing Palm Beach County based properties to its strong base of Brazilian Investors.</p>
<p>&#8220;Brazilians are very familiar with the region and, given the economic backdrop, the opportunities in Palm Beach County are, in many aspects, just as good as those that are available today in Dade and Broward counties, where activity has been intense since the housing bubble burst,&#8221; said Rogerio Bastos, Founder and Managing Director of Biscayne Bay.</p>
<p>&#8220;While the properties in the Palm Beaches are very similar to those in Miami from a visual perspective, the region has a very different resident profile compared to the other two counties. And we expect that to translate into a high potential for capital appreciation / property valuation over a ten year investment horizon, which is the expected holding period for our clients. It also allows the clients to diversify in terms of economic risk.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to a recent study by the Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce, Brazilians were responsible for approximately 15 percent of all real estate transactions in South Florida over 2011 and 2012, and according to Mr. Bastos, this should continue over the coming years: &#8220;The strength of the Brazilian Real and the strong drop in local interest rates from 12 percent to 7.5 percent over the last two years, is pushing many Brazilian high net worth individuals into diversifying their portfolios internationally.</p>
<p>&#8220;And Biscayne Bay, through its extensive database of properties and strong network of affiliates, helps clients avoid many of the pitfalls and to find the ideal properties given their objectives and investment horizons.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;We have a beautiful story to tell,&#8221; says Enrique Zuanetto &#8211; Executive Director. &#8220;The Soup Kitchen today does so much more, empowered by the generosity of the community and the need to care for members in our community who are less fortunate.&#8221; Since the very beginning, the Soup Kitchen has relied entirely on private donations and the work of caring volunteers.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.send2press.com/mediaboom/13-0327-usacoffee_72dpi.jpg" border="0" alt="certified Hawaiian coffee" title="certified Hawaiian coffee" class="alignright" align="right" />PLANTATION, Fla., April 1, 2013 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; Earth Day is April 22 and USA Coffee Company is doing its part to save the planet. USA Coffee Company is proud of its efforts to produce conventional certified Hawaiian coffee that is environmentally friendly. </p>
<p>&#8220;We have developed farming practices that return the harvesting and processing byproducts back into the soil to control weeds, and to replenish the soil&#8217;s nutrients,&#8221; Ted Massinello, president of USA Coffee Company, says. &#8220;We also recycle the coffee wash water and the green waste from pruning. All branches and twigs are mulched and recycled year after year; nothing goes into landfills.&#8221;</p>
<p>Massinello says that it will continue to farm its specialty coffee by recycling by-products that are biodegradable.</p>
<p>Additionally, USA Coffee Company has recently introduced the reusable and eco-friendly coffee filter, Ekobrew, for Keurig single-serve brewers. It&#8217;s made in the USA and BPA free. It&#8217;s also compatible with the Cuisinart, Breville and Mr. Coffee single-cup machines. </p>
<p>And, because the Ekobrew is reusable, there is no disposable plastic and foil cup to end up in a land fill. This year alone, more than five billion K-cup packs filled with imported coffee will be sold, used and then discarded. </p>
<p>&#8220;So, make coffee, not trash,&#8221; Massinello says. </p>
<p>The Ekobrew has a financial advantage as well. Coffee drinkers who use the Ekobrew with USA Coffee can expect to save 70 percent or more because there is no need to purchase the K cups. It&#8217;s a $0.20 average cost per cup versus $0.70. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s pretty too. Ekobrew&#8217;s durable and attractive design has won high praise from critics making it a finalist for the 2012 Housewares Design Award presented by HomeWorld Business. </p>
<p><strong>About USA Coffee Company:</strong><br />
USA Coffee Company was established to only roast coffee grown in the USA. 100 percent of its coffee hails from Hawaii. All coffee accessories such as mugs and filters are also made in the USA. Signature coffees include: All American Union Roast; All American Classic; Maui Morning Mojo; and more. </p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.send2press.com/mediaboom/13-0312-ed-head-coffee_72dpi.jpg" border="0" alt="Custom Label Coffee Program" title="Custom Label Coffee Program" class="alignright" align="right" />PLANTATION, Fla., March 12, 2013 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; Buying American is a trend that is here to stay and <a href="http://www.usacoffeecompany.com/">USA Coffee Company</a> stands behind the sentiment one hundred percent. All of its coffee is 100 percent Hawaiian-grown and now it&#8217;s excited to offer a new custom label program, &#8220;Our coffee, your custom labels.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We started offering this service not too long ago and it has really taken off,&#8221; Ted Massinello, president of USA Coffee Company, says. &#8220;We provide custom label coffee to unions, a variety of businesses including banks and casinos as well as for special events such as weddings and bar mitzvahs (coffee is kosher certified). It&#8217;s a great way to show your commitment to buying American while providing a token of appreciation to a customer or friend.&#8221; </p>
<p>In addition to offering <a href="http://www.usacoffeecompany.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=114">custom label coffee</a> as a promotional or thank you item, companies may also choose to brand their company through the custom label program and sell the coffee. If they choose to go this route, they have the option to donate a percentage of sales to a favorite charity. It&#8217;s a win-win for all. </p>
<p>For example, the well-known talk radio host and TV personality, Ed Schultz of the Ed Schultz Show, sells a custom label called, &#8220;Big Eddie&#8217;s Hawaiian Coffee.&#8221; For each sale, a $3 donation is made to the Relief Society for one of the four Armed Forces Services.</p>
<p>Massinello adds that what further sets USA Coffee Company apart from other coffee companies is that its coffee is absolutely 100 percent grown in the U.S. He warns that coffee lovers should beware of coffee labeling that says either &#8220;Kona or Hawaiian Blend.&#8221; In most cases, this means that there are no more than 15 percent of actual Hawaiian beans in the coffee. The blends sold at USA Coffee Company are 100 percent Hawaiian-grown and come from three different islands &#8211; the Kona district on the main island of Hawaii, Maui and Kauai. </p>
<p>USA Coffee Company is also proud of its efforts to produce conventional certified <a href="http://www.usacoffeecompany.com/category-s/1.htm">Hawaiian coffee</a> that is environmentally friendly. </p>
<p>&#8220;We have developed farming practices that return the harvesting and processing byproducts back into the soil to control weeds, and to replenish the soil&#8217;s nutrients,&#8221; Massinello says. &#8220;We also recycle the coffee wash water and the green waste from pruning. All branches and twigs are mulched and recycled year after year; nothing goes into landfills.&#8221; </p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://send2pressnewswire.com"><img src="http://send2pressnewswire.com/image/13-0125-malone_book_72dpi.jpg" border="0" alt="" class="alignright" height="250" align="right" /></a>TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 25, 2013 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; The magisterial &#8220;collaboration&#8221; over half a lifetime between historian Dumas Malone and his subject, Thomas Jefferson, is the basis for William G. Hyland Jr.&#8217;s compelling &#8220;Long Journey with Mr. Jefferson&#8221; (ISBN: 978-1612341972; Potomac Books). Malone, the courtly and genteel historian from Mississippi, spent thirty-eight years researching and writing the definitive biography of the man who &#8220;invented the United States of America.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hyland provides a surprising portrait of the man many consider America&#8217;s greatest historian, recording in detail Malone&#8217;s struggle to finish his towering six-volume work on Jefferson through excruciating pain and then blindness at the age of eighty-three. Hyland includes Malone&#8217;s previously unpublished correspondence with such notables as John F. Kennedy, Harry S. Truman, George H. W. Bush, Felix Frankfurter, and Fawn Brodie. Readers are treated to an exclusive look at private family documents and Malone&#8217;s unfinished memoir, which reflects on history, social commentary, and his life&#8217;s accomplishments. </p>
<p>Offering much more than most biographies, this book imparts extensive insights into Malone&#8217;s earlier years in Mississippi and Georgia, and how they shaped his character. Through interviews with his intimates, family members, rivals, and subordinates, Hyland generates a true portrait of the man behind the intellect and the myth.</p>

<p>About The Author: </p>
<p>William G. Hyland Jr., a native of Virginia, is the author of &#8220;In Defense of Thomas Jefferson&#8221; (2009), nominated for the Virginia Literary Award, and a professor at Stetson University College of Law. He is a member of the Virginia and New York Historical Societies, serves on the board of directors of the Thomas Jefferson Heritage Society, and has lectured at the National Archives and for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. He lives in Tampa, Florida.</p>
<p>Advance Praise for Long Journey with Mr. Jefferson:</p>
<p>&#8220;Anyone interested in how good history is written will be mesmerized by this book. If some readers also want to find out whether recent assaults on Thomas Jefferson&#8217;s reputation are based on fact or on factoids, they will find a veritable mother lode of information here.&#8221; &#8211; Thomas Fleming, author of The Intimate Lives of the Founding Fathers</p>
<p>&#8220;William Hyland has done a tremendous service to us all by producing this carefully researched, thoroughly documented, yet very readable biography of the greatest Jefferson scholar the world has to date produced. I recommend the volume enthusiastically for scholars of all ages.&#8221; &#8211; Robert F. Turner, professor of law, University of Virginia, and chairman, Jefferson-Hemings Scholars Commission.</p>
<p>&#8220;Hyland&#8217;s work is more than the biography of a historian. His account of Malone&#8217;s intellectual struggles with and for Jefferson make an original and important contribution to Jefferson studies and to the understanding of American thought in the twentieth century.&#8221; &#8211; Clyde N. Wilson, distinguished professor of history (emeritus), University of South Carolina.</p>
<p>&#8220;Wililam Hyland brilliantly and movingly brings Malone to life, from his Marine Corps boot camp experience to lunching with Queen Elizabeth II. Hyland deals most tellingly with Malone&#8217;s assessment of the Jefferson/Hemings issues. . . . He provides depth, clarity, and scrupulous attention to detail.&#8221; &#8211; Arthur T. Downey, former National Security Council adviser and author of &#8220;Civil War Lawyers: Constitutional Questions, Courtroom Dramas, and the Men behind Them.&#8221; </p>
<p>&#8220;In Long Journey with Mr. Jefferson, Hyland proves the enduring power of Dumas Malone&#8217;s principled adherence to historical truth and scholarly excellence. A timely reminder of the importance of integrity and character in an era of agenda-driven Jefferson studies.&#8221; &#8211; Eric S. Petersen, editor of &#8220;Light and Liberty: Reflections on the Pursuit of Happiness.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;William Hyland has captured Dumas Malone as a warm and genial family man, a world-renowned scholar, and the world&#8217;s greatest Jeffersonian authority and author. His description of his encounters with some of the brightest educators, political leaders, and journalists of his day is fascinating.&#8221; &#8211; W. McKenzie Wallenborn, president, Thomas Jefferson Heritage Society.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://send2pressnewswire.com"><img src="http://send2pressnewswire.com/image/12-0913-telovations_72dpi.jpg" border="0" alt="" class="alignright" height="250" align="right" /></a>TAMPA, Fla., Dec. 19, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; <a href="http://www.telovations.com/index.php">Telovations</a> announced today that <a href="http://www.tmcnet.com/">TMC</a>, a global, integrated media company, has named <a href="http://www.telovations.com/index.php/homepage-2/cloud-communications-a-collaboration/hosted-recording-a-analytics-vocalq">VocalQ</a> as a recipient of the 2012 <a href="http://www.itmag.com/">INTERNET TELEPHONY</a> Product of the Year Award. VocalQ measures the context and content of voice communications.</p>
<p>Unlike traditional recording and reporting, that measures quantitative and descriptive data, VocalQ also records and alerts on the quality of interactions. With VocalQ, calls are sampled with call recording and the dialog is benchmarked, measuring things such as customers having to repeat themselves and correct responses to questions can be measured. In addition, the recorded conversations can be compared against customer surveys so supervisors can discover why an interaction went well or went awry. Through this product, a qualitative score on calls can be calculated and the highest scored calls can later be used for customer service training. </p>
<p>Another benefit of VocalQ is the ability to take immediate action on &#8220;voice alerts&#8221; which allow supervisors to address problems immediately and improve the processes and procedures that directly impact the quality of service provided to customers. Supervisors can identify words and phrases in conversations that are known to be critical, such as &#8220;system outage&#8221; or &#8220;I am down.&#8221; These phrases can be used to trigger messages to supervisors who can then automatically put additional customer service agents into a queue. </p>
<p>&#8220;It is with pleasure that we recognize Telovations with a Product of the Year Award. The editors of INTERNET TELEPHONY have verified that VocalQ displays quality and innovation while providing solutions to real business communications challenges,&#8221; stated Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC. &#8220;I would like to congratulate the team at Telovations for their commitment to advancing IP communication technologies.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We are honored to be recognized again by INTERNET TELEPHONY with a Product of the Year Award,&#8221; said Doug Knight, COO, Telovations. &#8220;We strive to provide innovative, business enhancing products and applications to our customers.&#8221;</p>
<p>Telovations was awarded Product of the Year by INTERNET TELEPHONY in 2011 for <a href="http://www.telovations.com/index.php/homepage/cloud-communications-a-collaboration/speech-assist">Speech Assist</a>.</p>
<p>2012 Product of the Year winners are published in the January/February 2013 issue of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine. INTERNET TELEPHONY has been the authority in IP communication since 1998(TM).</p>
