In fact, medication costs have been the fastest-growing component of healthcare costs for the past five years. So, what can people do to combat these soaring prescription fees?

“Our cutting-edge pharmacy price search is tightly integrated with Google Maps technology making it faster and easier for people to access pharmacy information,” Gerard Ferro, founder and CEO RXCut® Plus, says.

“People can easily search for multiple medication prices at all the pharmacies in their local area so they know they are getting the best price available.”

Ferro has 26 years of broad-based healthcare industry experience and is nationally recognized for his expertise in healthcare, healthcare technology and pharmaceutical plan management.

RxCut® Plus is the self identified “Equalizer in Healthcare.” Its mission is to give people control over their healthcare costs through prescription, lab tests and imaging service savings.

In addition to offering this cost-saving prescription search tool, RxCut® Plus also has a free discount card available for download on its website. This discount card provides access to savings up to 75 percent for prescription medications and up to 50 percent for lab and imaging services. These cards may used for pet medications too.

So, how does it work? There are a few ways that people may take advantage of RXCut® Plus services.

First, if a person has insurance and is obtaining a generic prescription that is more than $10, the person then presents their free RxCut® card and asks for the RxCut® Plus price.

“We guarantee you the lowest price between our discounted price, your insurance co-pay or the pharmacy cash price,” Ferro says.

Second, if a person does not have prescription insurance, he or she presents their free RXCut® card at the pharmacy for instant savings on every generic and brand prescription.

There are no enrollment fees; everyone qualifies and usage is unlimited. It works for all FDA-approved medications and pet medications. For more information, visit: http://www.RxCostSearch.com/ .

“Marriage takes work and marriage counseling can be costly and not always effective,” says Jim Angell, owner of Relation-ships.org. “This website is designed to help marriages regain that spark and to help couples get acquainted all over again.”

Lessons are designed and written by relationship experts. Some lesson topics address how to make sex drives more compatible; how to improve communication; how to show appreciation; and how to deal with work and money issues.

Couples are also provided with tips on how to reconnect as a couple; how to handle common domestic problems; and how to acknowledge the root of the problem.

The ultimate goal of these relationship lessons is to get people to fall in love all over again. However, these lessons also provide tips to determine if the relationship is worth saving. For example, there are 17 signs that may reveal it’s time to move on.

Users will also discover the top nine relationship-fixing mistakes that are sure to doom any chance of reconnecting with their partner. They’ll learn about 11 toxic behaviors that could be harming the relationship and teach them how to prevent these behaviors dead in their tracks.

The first lesson is $2.95 and if users like it, they do nothing. In two weeks, the second lesson will arrive via e-mail. After that, lessons arrive weekly.

The subscription fee is $19.95 per month – approximately $5 per lesson – and users may cancel at anytime. And, when compared to the hourly cost of a marriage counselor, that’s quite a savings. Plus, no third party is involved. Users are able to work together in the privacy of their homes.

“I know many marriage relationships could greatly benefit from the information provided by this site,” adds Angell. “The lessons certainly helped my marriage.”

Mark Maio, co-founder of RFQ Resources, explains, “During my years working with channel resellers, I found recurring pricing data needs that no one was meeting. There was tremendous demand for reliable and real-time pricing intelligence, but channel customers didn’t have time to contact every distributor and couldn’t risk revealing their product requirements to all players. RFQ Resources meets those pricing needs easily, affordably, and anonymously.”

RFQ Resources is endorsed by NASBA – The Association of Channel Resellers (www.nasba.com). NASBA Executive Director Frank Raimondi adds, “Today’s buyers have just-in-time requirements in a volatile market, and at the same time, limited visibility to spot market pricing. The process of researching the market can be a very time consuming and bring unwanted exposure. In line with NASBA’s goals of providing empowering services for resellers, RFQ Resources offers an innovative way for Resellers to quickly and anonymously collect spot market pricing from Mainstream Distributors to meet their procurement goals.”

The RFQ Resources process was designed for ease-of-use. Buyers anonymously post their specific requirements while sellers respond with equally specific anonymous bids. A secure site is provided for identity exchange to efficiently facilitate deal closure, while prospective buyers capture real-time street price data regardless of actual purchasing activity.

The current lineup of Distributors includes ASI Computer Technologies, Avnet Embedded, Americas, a division of Avnet, Inc. (NYSE: AVT), Computech, SED International, and Synnex. Channel Customers pay just $19.98 per month for unlimited access to post RFQs and obtain real-time street pricing for their product requirements. There are no other fees.

About RFQ Resources:

RFQ Resources (www.rfqresources.com) is a Web-based clearinghouse for B2B buyers and sellers of computer components to arbitrate spot-market pricing. It charges only a monthly membership and takes no active or monetary part in any transaction that is consummated.

In addition to its core service of price discovery, RFQ Resources hosts an active Channel Forum (www.channelforum.com).

For a Web-based service that helps to make the world sound good, it was imperative that individual page loading time increased ten-fold to allow for customers to upload, listen to and download audio files with ease.

Voices.com‘s page load time has been reported as fast as 963 ms, which is ten times faster than the 15.30 seconds previously reported by Pingdom, a website monitoring and measurement service.

A significant amount of time was spent on the user interface design to simplify the layout, making it easier to read critical information on each page. Voices.com worked with user interface designers, user experience designers, performed split tests with Google Website Optimizer, tracked clicks and mouse movements with CrazyEgg and conducted first hand research with UserTesting.com, implementing changes based upon feedback received via several thousand responses to design and usability surveys. Once the designs were built, voice talent members participated in a Beta Testing program and contributed their findings for review. All of the feedback from the beta testers was positive. This was a 12 month process and the company feels confident with the resulting website.

GHENT, N.Y., April 14 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Nature Institute has unveiled a new website designed to set the public debate about genetic engineering upon a more accessible scientific foundation. Distilling a voluminous technical literature, the website gathers together — often in the researchers’ own words — information about both the intended and unintended consequences of transgenic experiments. The emerging picture tells a dramatic story; one that has scarcely begun to inform the public conversation to date.

The website, nontarget.org, is part of The Nature Institute’s ongoing project on “The Nontarget Effects of Genetic Manipulation.”

Nontarget effects have proven both extensive and unpredictable. The evidence for their occurrence, while mostly buried in the technical literature, is not disputable or even particularly controversial. It’s simply not widely known. Once it is known, the frequently heard claim that genetic manipulation of organisms is a “precise science” without dramatic risks will either be voiced no more or will be recognized as dishonest.

As project director, Craig Holdrege, describes, “If you manipulate one or more genes in an organism using the techniques of biotechnology, the so-called side-effects — which are not side-effects at all, but include direct responses by the organism to the invasive actions of the engineer — can occur anywhere and everywhere in the organism. They are not predictable, are little understood, and have mostly unknown consequences for health and the environment. The intended result may or may not be achieved in any given case, but the one almost sure thing is that unintended results — nontarget effects — will be achieved.”

Holdrege, whose most recent book, “Beyond Biotechnology,” deals with the practical and philosophical implications of genetic engineering, maintains that a great deal of the discussion of genetic engineering practices can become calmer and more focused once the basic facts revealed by the extensive research to date are more widely known.

Holdrege believes that “We can hardly fail to acknowledge a need for caution when we are dealing with a powerful technology that is changing organisms and environments around the globe — organisms and environments that cannot simply be restored to their previous state when we discover the unpredicted results of transgenic experiments.”
