The Author: James R. Goldberg
“As the American Medical System Continues to Deteriorate, Patients are Being Lured by Inexpensive and UNREGULATED
Health Care Overseas!”

New York, New York (PRWEB) May 15, 2012

Author James R. Goldberg of The American Medical Money Machine: The Destruction of Healthcare in America and The Rise of Medical Tourism has announced a new consulting service directed at travel agents who are already in or are considering entering the business of Medical Tourism.

Goldberg said at a speech in mid April, 2012, given to Great Decisions, a national study group, given in Sandia Park, New Mexico, that “Fools Go Where Wise Men Fear to Tread!”

Robert Marshall, an executive of Homonculus Press, Goldberg’s publisher, said that “the lack of control and regulation regarding sending patients to foreign hospitals for medical care, carries significant liability risks for travel agents seeking to expand their businesses.”

Goldberg said, that “there are no International Treaties which address the safety of patients sent overseas for medical treatment. Although the lure of far less expensive care is taking hold as the American medical system continues to deteriorate, medical care provided overseas is completely unregulated. Although over 400 hospitals are now accredited by the Joint Commission of Oakbrook, Illinois contain absolutely no oversight or policing.”

Goldberg went on to say “This, in my opinion, is a highly profitable sham designed by the Joint Commission and provides virtually no assurances of patient safety or compliance with their suggested regulations. The logo sold to the participating hospitals is a virtual copy of the US seal and is designed to provide the impression that these foreign facilities are endorsed by a US agency: this is completely untrue.”

Robert Marshall said that “Goldberg, whose only child, died under suspicious circumstances at Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok, the supposed epicenter of Medical Tourism.”

Goldberg alleges in his book, that “the medical records obtained from Bumrungrad were largely falsified and filled with inconsistancies and which point to the cause of my son’s death to an attempt to harvest his organs, a practice well known in South East Asia.”

Goldberg further said, “Bumrungrad Hospital and the Thai authorities refused to cooperate, with my investigation and withheld a blood sample taken just after my son died. A professional forensic investigation reveals numerous violations of standard practice. Bumrungrad was entirely uncooperative, which did not surprise me, but the Joint Commission which sells US look alike accreditations, was even more hostile to my questions and insistence that they conduct a thorough investigation: this was shocking.”

Goldberg went on “the US has no jurisdiction over malpractice or malfeasance which Americans may suffer as a result of medical mistreatment abroad as they have no offices or operations in the US. Many of the overseas accredited hospitals promote their services through US based travel agents and insurance companies. Hence, in the event of litigation, these companies can and will be sued. It is the purpose of Medical Tourism Travel Consulting to assist travel companies in understanding their legal exposure and the risks they take in participating in arranging for medical tourism. Medical outsourcing/tourism is not a panacea.”

Goldberg is a healthcare executive and technologist who has also become an investigative journalist and author. He was a partner in one of the world’s largest technology strategy and development companies.

The initial consultation for the services of the company is complimentary. The company can be contacted through the author or the publisher. The American Medical Money Machine: The Destruction of Healthcare in America and The Rise of Medical Tourism is available on Amazon in paper back or Kindle and through bookstores world wide.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) May 02, 2012

Popular East Texas getaway, Deer Lake Cabins announces the completion of an extensive renovation project that includes an update and refresh of 4 of its 10 rental cabins on the property with an 11th on the way.

The project was carried out by Dave & Cindy Siegmann of TF Tiling and Remodeling out of Greenville, WI. In order to complete the project in time for the busy season, the couple lived on the property for nearly 4 months, with their dog Shadow, working around the clock.

During this 4 month period, the Allen House, Wild West Cabin, Cedar Loft and Honeymoon Hill Cabin were all given facelifts and various levels of renovation.

The three bedroom, two bath, two story, Allen House, which typically would sleep 8, has now been upgraded to sleep 10 thanks to twin beds upstairs being replaced by full size beds. The kitchen area received extensive work including new counter tops and additional counter space and island for food prep as well as new cabinets for added storage. Other updates include a large table for 8 in the sunroom, new leather couch in the living room and a brand new air conditioning unit to keep the large house cool all summer long.

The Wild West cabin also received an extensive overhaul. The entire cabin received brand new wood flooring and was completely repainted. All new black appliances were installed in the kitchen and are now complimented by fresh new countertops and new dining furniture. Other improvements throughout the cabin include new double pane windows, new living room furniture, new full size bed in 2nd bedroom new western-themed art and a rock facade gas grilling station outside.

The next cabin renovated in this project was the Cedar Loft Cabin located above the Log Cabin. While the renovation to this cabin was not as extensive as the others, it was significantly refreshed. The entire cabin received all new wood flooring, replacing the dated carpeting. The cabin also received a new interior paint job throughout, new counter tops in the kitchen and new furniture was added to the living room.

Finally, the most significantly refurbished cabin on the property is the Honeymoon Hill Cabin. Known for its seclusion and private pond, this cabin is a favorite among guests. The main area addressed in this cabin was the bathroom which was completely remodeled. First, the stand-up shower was replaced with a spacious garden tub. Then ceramic tile was laid throughout the entire bathroom. Cabinets were installed offering additional storage space where previously there was none. Finally, to tie the whole room together a unique pedestal sink was installed utilizing a wooden tree stump as the base that was carved and lacquered to offer a distinctive elegant country look. In addition to the bathroom remodel, all new wood floors were installed throughout the cabin.

The management at Deer Lake Cabins could not be more thrilled with the work performed by Mr. and Mrs Seigmann stating “Out of a possible five stars we give them six! They have done more than we ever thought possible with excellent craftsmanship! And our ranch dog Shiner will certainly miss his new best buddy Shadow.”

In addition to the renovation of these 4 cabins, during the past year Deer Lake Cabins has also constructed two brand new cabins on the nearly 800 acre ranch property. The Texas Star is an immaculately fully furnished cabin located on the shores of Deer Lake. This semi-private cabin comes in at approx. 1,600 sq. ft and can sleep up to 10 people. The cabin features a large and spacious porch and dock for great views of Deer Lake, as well as new appliances, spacious great room and WiFi.

The other new cabin is called the Sawmill House. This cabin gets is named due to being built on the foundation of the ranch’s former sawmill. The Sawmill House is approximately 1,000 sq. ft. and features 2.5 bedrooms containing 1 king size bed, 2 double beds and a bunk bed for a total sleeping capacity of 8 people. Sawmill House offers more seclusion than many of the other cabins located on or around Deer Lake and Dream Lake.

Washington DC (PRWEB) April 27, 2012

In advance of TransparencyCamp 2012, LegiNation today announced their collaboration with Xcential has progressed efforts to improve transparency in government by making state legislative information more accessible. State-level issues are increasingly creating national dialogue as legislation such as the “Stand Your Ground” laws are exported from state-to-state. By accessing data using the LegiNation BillTrack50 database of state legislation, political professionals and activists can spot trending legislation early, and take action to promote, block or improve laws as they are introduced.

Because there is no single nation-wide standard process and format by which bills are published, until now it has been difficult and often expensive to find relevant legislative information in a single, searchable and shareable source. Access to bills, and information about their introduction and progress, can be used to enhance collaboration between government and private organizations, improve citizen participation and representation, and create a more open government.

Building on 10 years experience in legislation, Xcential created a new neutral format that can be used for all states. Xcential’s innovative technology transforms individual state bills into the single new standard format, allowing the documents to be read and managed by applications such as a database or a content or document management system. LegiNation can then process the bills and present them through the BillTrack50 search features, making it easier to find bills on a specific topic, regardless of the state in which the bill was introduced.

Bradlee Chang of Xcential says “We are committed to improving the legislative process. Before BillTrack50 was launched, it was difficult to get an accurate picture of what is going on across the states. Companies or interest groups often operate in more than a single state and need to know how their organizations could be affected by legislation in multiple jurisdictions. Our mission is to help people access the information they need to understand the law, and the people that shape it.”

In the spirit of transparency and in an effort to create a dialogue, LegiNation recently opened access to the BillTrack50 database of state bills in a free search option. Now individuals can find relevant legislation across states, get informed, and take action regarding new and proposed laws that affect their personal freedoms, interests and daily life.

Karen Suhaka, president of LegiNation , says the focus of this weekend’s Transparency Camp event is closely aligned with the intent behind BillTrack50. “Like Transparency Camp, our aim is to help individuals, businesses and interest groups work better with their government. Our technology collaboration with Xcential makes government data more accessible, creating a more informed consumer and improving the chances of effective dialogue.”

Visitors to http://www.billtrack50.com have access to an unlimited number of state-by-state searches on keywords to find bills on topics that are important to them. BillTrack50 searches the full text of the bills, not just the headline or title, making it significantly easier to discover relevant legislation that can be hidden within seemingly unrelated bills. Bills can then be reviewed in full and shared with others via email, Twitter, a Website or blog by a permanent link.

Transparency Camp is an annual event where journalists, developers, technologists, policy-makers, government officials, students, and academics gather to share knowledge about how to use new technologies and policies to improve the relationship between government and people.

About Xcential

Xcential is a legal informatics technology company, working with legislative bodies and other organizations to improve their use of technology. Xcential LegisPro products are used for bill drafting, amending, publishing, codification and conversion. Xcential’s LegisWeb product is a legislative research and tracking tool for legislative staff, lobbyists, interest groups and corporations. http://www.xcential.com

About LegiNation

LegiNation, Inc. was founded with the goal of making state level legislation more readily available to the professionals who need it, and even more importantly to the public at large. We are building products and Websites to spark a renaissance in American politics, leveraging the Internet to create the dialog so desperately needed amongst our elected officials, legislative professionals, and everyday citizens.

Berkeley, California (PRWEB) April 19, 2012

Joy Sewing, in an article on Chron.com, highlights the latest in new fashion trends: mixed prints. This trend allows individuals to put together unexpected, creative, and bold outfits in an effort to show off their own aesthetics while taking advantage of the beautiful printed fabrics today’s designers have to offer. The California School of Professional Fabric Design is fueling this trend with its wide array of fabrics. From subdued to bright, the prints that come out of the California School of Professional Fabric Design are enabling fashion followers the world over to embrace this fun style.

According to Sewing, “Mixing prints in unusual combinations is one of the season’s biggest trends. It’s an excuse to throw stripes with polka dots and paisleys with florals and even more of a reason to mix and match global prints to show off a well-traveled fashion sensibility. It’s an unexpected, fearless way to dress this season.”

Among perpetuators of this trend are fashion icons Donna Karan and Michael Kors. Sewing notes that, to complement the bold fabrics of today’s hottest looks, fashion experts are turning to more neutral, more natural accessories. These accessories include bags, jewelry, and shoes that are made from raffia, wood, and even rope.

“Sometimes we need to think outside of the box!” commented Zeida Rothman, founder of the California School of Professional Fabric Design. “Combining contemporary and traditional prints can make a bold and creative statement. Layering tropical patterns with plaids, abstracts with stripes, is loosening old rules of what can or can’t go together.”

But mixing prints is not the only element to this trend; bold colors are key in creating an outstanding look.

“Fresh and original color combinations can be our artistic expression,” stated Rothman. “There are continuously new fabrics being produced for the global market. With new technology today, companies are manufacturing textural fabrics that blend and enhance so many of the printed patterns we are wearing. Our artistic expression can be limitless.”

As fabric designers keep creating new textiles, the artistic expression that clothing can provide continues to grow. Rothman and other professionals associated with the California School of Professional Fabric Design are proud of the impact the school has had on the caliber of printed textiles available to local and national manufacturers.

ABOUT:

At the California School of Professional Fabric Design, students learn in a creative, state of the art educational environment. This community blends traditional and innovative techniques in an effort to encourage students to explore all aspects of fabric design. As a result, students are well-equipped to perform traditional hand painted design, computer-aided design, and other industry-specific processes. Graduates are certified for freelance and full-time employment, and they often get employed designing in a variety of markets. These markets include: home furnishing and apparel fabrics, linens, carpeting, rugs, gift wrap, packaging, stationary, wallpaper, and more.

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 15, 2012

RoadFish.com men’s lifestyle and finance magazine today talked up London’s Udderbelly Festival as a fun event to attend for both London visitors and locals. The Udderbelly Festival is a three-month event featuring stand-up comedy, cabaret, music, dance performances, and more held in an inflatable purple cow tent at London’s Southbank Centre. RoadFish.com was impressed by the sheer quantity of comedians scheduled to perform at this year’s festival, many of them up-and-comers mixed with the more well-known household names. Ticket prices range from about 10-25 pounds per show, depending on the act.

Gareth Vipers reported for the London Evening Standard that there are over 50 acts booked to perform over the 12 weeks that the festival will run, including musical comedy duo Abandoman, Australian comedian Tim Minchin, Sean Hughes, and Howard Marks adding that there truly is something for everyone. In addition to the classic and well-known purple cow tent, this year will include a second venue for the first time known as the London Wonderground. Side performances including the Australian circus group, Cantina, will be held at this second tent, which is touted as being reminiscent of 20th century Coney Island.

The Udderbelly Festival is put on by Underbelly, a UK-based live entertainment company. On Underbelly’s official website, it’s stated that Underbelly Productions produces and promotes live shows for UK and international touring, boasting over 350,000 tickets sold to shows last year. Udderbelly got its start in 2009, when Underbelly and Southbank Centre collaborated to launch an 8-week summer festival featuring comedy, circus, family, and cabaret shows. The length of the festival was extended in 2010 to 10 weeks, in 2011 for 13 weeks, and this year the festival will run for another 13 weeks from April 5th through July 8th.

RoadFish.com was impressed with all of the different happenings going on around London in April, but Udderbelly stood out. Stated RoadFish.com’s Senior staff writer, “I am amazed at the amount of events and different shows and festivals going on at once all over London—the Shakespeare Festival, activities for St. George’s Day, the Damien Hirst exhibit at the Tate Modern. The Udderbelly Festival stood out to me because of the dynamic performances, especially the comedic aspect which greatly appeals to me. I might just need to hire me some estate agents and move to London for a year to soak in not only the culture but the seemingly endless festivities the city boasts.”

This year’s festival will include such musicians as beatboxing group The Vocal Orchestra, and the energetic Cuban group Havana Rumba. Tim Minchin, Rufus Hound, and Greg Proops will headline the comedy acts and among the other comedians performing will be Greg Davies, Andi Osho, Terry Alderton, Patrick Monahan, Milton Jones, Michael Winslow, Wil Anderson, Andrew Maxwell, and Nina Conti.

The Udderbelly Festival at Southbank Centre can be found in Jubilee Gardens, with the famous purple cow tent specifically located between the London Eye and the Royal Festival Hall. There will also be an outdoor bar and public food stands. This is the fourth year for this iconic festival, and boasted 50,000 attendees to the festival in 2011.

RoadFish.com’s Senior staff writer is quoted as saying, “Anyone that knows me knows that I love to laugh. This festival sounds right up my alley. I’ve never heard of a festival quite like this before either, making it quite unique to London. I’m adding it to my Bucket List of things to do before I die.”

According to the above-mentioned London Evening Standard article, the Udderbelly Festival is also reportedly quite kid-friendly, with a kids’ Comedy Club and a brand-new show called “Tiddler and Other Terrific Tales” geared towards youngsters.
