Nelson takes the stage on September 10th and 11th, 2008. Nelson is scheduled to present four new programs designed to help remodeling and home building professionals not just survive, but thrive in tough market conditions.

Your Business. Your Life. Taking the Struggle Out of this Balancing Act
Finding a balance between business and personal life is one of the greatest challenges we face.  What if we could have time to actually have a life and successfully manage our construction businesses in good times and bad?  The answer to creating this balance is through the integration of four key issues--Taking Care of You (Balance), Commitment, Team and <a href="http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/speaking/speaking_leadership.html" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="Construction Business Leadership">Leadership</a>--into all aspects of our lives and businesses.

Because I Told You So - Communication at the Jobsite 
Anyone who has worked in the field on a jobsite for any length of time knows that communication is very often a challenge; communication between the field and the main office; communication from primary leadership to superintendent to the field crew.  Yet the key to complete success with every job, whether big or small, is full and complete communication everywhere and at all times!  During this program Nelson will break down the issues that get in the way of complete communication at the jobsite and provide easy to implement solutions that have successfully helped remodeling and home building companies get on the road to great communication while on the job.

When times are tough, more often than not, we retreat into the feeling of &quot;Only I Can Do It&quot;.  Yet, if any of us could get to where we are going without a team, we would be there already.   Making it through rough market conditions isn&#039;t about tightening our grip and controlling everything within grasp. As a matter of fact, not just surviving, but thriving in tough market conditions is about creating and utilizing an unstoppable team whose common goals and combined efforts propel us further than was ever possible on our own.

Replacing the Irreplaceable You
&quot;Replace me? Impossible!&quot; It often feels that way, but the only way we gain the freedom to grow or maintain our businesses, to retire or to have a life is to replace ourselves! Learn how to give up doing it all, build a team of leaders, and successfully move on to what&#039;s next.

&quot;Succeeding during the tough times, and being ready to hit the ground running when the construction market rebounds is all about developing a positive, fresh mindset,&quot; Nelson explains. &quot;A mindset that comes through taking the time to take care of yourself--that is, having a personal life--and by putting the proper systems and teams in place at the office and on the jobsite.&quot;

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) September 8, 2008 -- In sharp contrast to the decline seen in commercial property values, the total return of the FTSE NAREIT Equity REIT Index is up nearly 2 percent through Aug. 31 and up nearly 6 percent for the third quarter, according to the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (<a href="http://www.nareit.com" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="NAREIT">NAREIT</a>). 



While it may seem counter-intuitive, history indicates that REIT shares are likely to continue trending up while direct commercial property values, as measured by the NCREIF Property Index, sink.

Historically, cyclical movements of the U.S. REIT index precede the movements of the NCREIF Property Index by four to eight quarters. Consider the following points:

- In 1989, for example, REIT share prices began to decline (see chart on next page), while the NCREIF Property Index continued to climb. Four quarters later, at the end of 1990, however, the NCREIF index peaked and began to turn down, while the REIT index bottomed and began its recovery.
- Another four quarters later, at the end of 1991, the REIT and NCREIF indexes crossed paths, with the REIT index accelerating upward and the broader direct commercial property index continuing its decline.
- In the current cycle, REITs peaked around the end of January 2007 and began a rally this spring, approximately four quarters later. This would indicate that REITs have likely completed their major downward correction and REIT shares are more likely to be trending up over the next few quarters, in spite of the fact that broader commercial property values will be trending down.

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) is the representative voice for U.S. REITs and publicly traded real estate companies worldwide. Members are real estate investment trusts (REITs) and other businesses that own, operate and finance income-producing real estate, as well as those firms and individuals who advise, study and service those businesses.

Even the Travel Channel called Gaylord Opryland Resort &quot;the most Christmassy hotel in the nation.&quot; This year the unrivaled event that has made memories for literally millions of people from around the world will celebrate in silver. This year marks the 25th anniversary of A Country Christmas, and close to 1 million visitors will enjoy new shows, stunning decorations and the return of everyone&#039;s favorite Gaylord Opryland Christmas traditions.



A Country Christmas, presented by Nissan, begins Nov. 14, 2008 and runs through Jan. 4, 2009, at the resort in Nashville, Tenn.  The event includes more than a dozen shows and attractions.

&quot;This year we are celebrating on an even larger scale because of our Silver Anniversary. For example, we are thrilled to have Louise Mandrell join our family this year, bringing her energy, talent and passion for the holidays to our new dinner show,&quot; stated Pete Weien, senior vice president and general manager, Gaylord Opryland Resort and Attractions.  &quot;This IS the most Christmassy resort in the nation, perhaps even the world. We will do everything in our power to create smiling faces and eyes filled with wonder from the time our guests arrive until they leave in order to make the memories truly remarkable.&quot; 

&quot;I&#039;m very excited about joining Gaylord Opryland in their 25th anniversary. I worked the Grand Ole Opry both at the Ryman and new Opry House when I was growing up. My first production show was at the Acuff Theater at Opryland,&quot; explained country music artist Louise Mandrell. &quot; I feel at home at the Gaylord Opryland Resort. But, I think they make everyone feel that way.&quot;

New this year:

The Louise Mandrell&#039;s &#039;Joy the World&#039; Christmas Dinner &#38; Show runs Nov. 15 through Dec. 25, 2008.  Straight from her popular theater in Tennessee&#039;s Smoky Mountains, Mandrell is giving Christmas at the resort a whole new feel during the dinner show.  She and her band will perform traditional Christmas music, dancing and comedy all while guests dine on a delicious holiday meal with all the trimmings.

Winter Wonderland will be one of the holiday &quot;hot spots&quot; for families and friends alike this year.  Held in the resort&#039;s Ryman Exhibit Halls, this beautiful wonderland features many activities for &quot;kids&quot; of all ages, like Photos with Santa, Treasures for the Holidays Crafts Show, Hall of Trees display and a charity fund-raiser, a Christmas train and the return of Gingerbread Corner with gingerbread decorating classes taught by elves. Winter Wonderland begins Nov. 23, 2008.  

Breakfast with the Grinch will help families get the day started with one of Christmas&#039; most... To read the press release in full goto http://www.prweb.com/releases/2008/9/prweb1289394.htm]]></content:encoded>

Even the Travel Channel called Gaylord Opryland Resort &quot;the most Christmassy hotel in the nation.&quot; This year the unrivaled event that has made memories for literally millions of people from around the world will celebrate in silver. This year marks the 25th anniversary of A Country Christmas, and close to 1 million visitors will enjoy new shows, stunning decorations and the return of everyone&#039;s favorite Gaylord Opryland Christmas traditions.



A Country Christmas, presented by Nissan, begins Nov. 14, 2008 and runs through Jan. 4, 2009, at the resort in Nashville, Tenn.  The event includes more than a dozen shows and attractions.

&quot;This year we are celebrating on an even larger scale because of our Silver Anniversary. For example, we are thrilled to have Louise Mandrell join our family this year, bringing her energy, talent and passion for the holidays to our new dinner show,&quot; stated Pete Weien, senior vice president and general manager, Gaylord Opryland Resort and Attractions.  &quot;This IS the most Christmassy resort in the nation, perhaps even the world. We will do everything in our power to create smiling faces and eyes filled with wonder from the time our guests arrive until they leave in order to make the memories truly remarkable.&quot; 

&quot;I&#039;m very excited about joining Gaylord Opryland in their 25th anniversary. I worked the Grand Ole Opry both at the Ryman and new Opry House when I was growing up. My first production show was at the Acuff Theater at Opryland,&quot; explained country music artist Louise Mandrell. &quot; I feel at home at the Gaylord Opryland Resort. But, I think they make everyone feel that way.&quot;

New this year:

She and her band will perform traditional Christmas music, dancing and comedy all while guests dine on a delicious holiday meal with all the trimmings.

Winter Wonderland will be one of the holiday &quot;hot spots&quot; for families and friends alike this year.

&quot;With the recent 10.6% Medicare payment reduction scare and ever increasing cost pressures in rehab, we need to ensure that therapists are getting the money owed to them from payers,&quot; says James Hammer, chief operating officer at Chart Links. &quot;Our decision to partner with RemitDATA is based on the ability of their products to pick-up where most practice management systems leave off.  These tools analyze claims data directly from payer electronic remittance advice (ERA) versus data posted into the billing system.  This gives therapists greater insight into denial rates, by payer, as a means of recouping reimbursement.  It also allows them to compare their denial rates against their peers nationwide.  We can all learn from that to develop best practices.&quot;

&quot;Over the coming months, we&#039;ll be able to unveil the first ever comprehensive third-party analysis of rehabilitation payment trends,&quot; says Michael Sanderson, president of RemitDATA.  &quot;Our simple, easy-to-use web-based tools and patent-pending benchmarking reports will provide state, regional and national data on which rehabilitation procedure codes are getting denied most often, by which reason code and by payer. As a direct result of our solutions, therapists will be able to enhance their profitability and drive down the costs of healthcare.&quot;

(Vocus) August 28, 2008 -- The first significant answer to the market need for better fuel economy with Class A (bus style) <a href="http://www.workhorse.com" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="motor homes">motor homes</a> will be launched at the annual Pennsylvania RV and Camping Show in Hershey, Pa., Sept. 10 to 14 (public days) at the HERSHEYPARK Entertainment Complex - GIANT Center&#8480;.



The show will introduce all-new Avanti (which means &quot;forward&quot; in Italian) from Damon Motor Coach (Booth 513), the first motor home to be built on the W16D front-engine diesel platform from Workhorse Custom Chassis. The W16D is a 16,000 lb. GVWR diesel powered platform that is both lower and narrower than traditional class A motor home chassis, enabling lower, sleeker motor home body designs. 

The initial Avanti model is 31 &#189; feet long and designed to be a more fuel efficient and easier-to-drive Class A motor home. Combining a sleek, low-to-the-ground, aerodynamic design with the re-engineered Workhorse chassis, the Avanti is expected to achieve up to 70 percent better fuel economy than comparable Class A motor homes, based on internal test results.

In addition, Vice President of Avanti Sales Matt Thompson describes the Avanti&#039;s drivability as &quot;awesome.&quot; The Avanti&#039;s coach is nearly 12 inches closer to the ground than any other <a href="http://www.workhorse.com" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="Class A motor home">Class A motor home</a> and is six inches narrower. The low center of gravity, combined with the excellent ride and handling of the Workhorse chassis, gives it &quot;an automotive feel,&quot; said Thompson. &quot;I think people will find it fun to drive. Certainly not like any other Class A.&quot;

The RV-enhanced W16D chassis marks the latest in a series of chassis firsts from Workhorse that have multiplied motor home choices for consumers over the past decade. It will be on display at Workhorse Booth G by the GIANT Center along with the 2009 Chevy Workhorse Class C platform with best-in-class towing capacity.

The W16D also marks the first appearance of the MaxxForce&#8482; 5 V6 diesel engine from Navistar International Corporation (NYSE: NAV) in a motor home. The MaxxForce 5 is mated to an Allison 1000 Series transmission and produces 200 horsepower and 440 ft.-lbs. of torque. Other key W16D features that enhance the drivability and manageability of the motor home include high-performance Brembo 4-wheel disc brakes, 50-degree wheel cut and electronic instrument cluster with full instrumentation and information center. 

Leading edge technology makes the MaxxForce 5 a &quot;clean diesel&quot; engine that improves both emission levels and <a href="http://www.workhorse.com" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="fuel efficiency">fuel efficiency</a>. That and the relatively light weight of the Workhorse chassis both contribute to the Avanti&#039;s fuel economy and payload capacity.

That capacity means the Avanti can put diesel class storage and amenities into a smaller motor home, enabling owners of larger motor homes to conveniently downsize. Thompson calls the storage space on the Avanti &quot;phenomenal.&quot; &#039;&#039;Our 31 1/2-foot model has as much storage than a comparable 37-foot coach,&#039;&#039; he said. &#039;&#039;We worked hard to utilize every square inch.&#039;&#039;

A walk-around queen bed, split bath layout, large screen TV and curvaceous nautical interior styling are some of the diesel-class luxury and amenities packed in the coach, making it &quot;a great choice for both a first-time...

Burke CAI AARE, auctioneer and president of the company.



Burke said, &quot;We are actively seeking property owners in the Jackson Hole  market areas who want to auction their property for 100 percent of the current market value with no seller commission. to enter their properties prior to the Monday September 1st deadline&quot; the last day sellers may register.

&quot;As one of only 322 Accredited Auctioneers of Real Estates (AARE) in the United States, we can deliver a higher level of service than 98.6% of real estate professionals in the marketplace,&quot; he noted.

Burke added, &quot;Last year we auctioned two homes in Teton Springs and delivered $660,000 and $715,000 for a private seller who had purchased based on pre-construction appraisals with inflated resale values of $1.4 to $1.6 million each. Our seller could not make the $18,000 payments for property in a subdivision that only had two arms length transactions during 2007, and they had no hope of selling using traditional methods.&quot;

&quot;If you read the newspapers, listen to the radio or watch the news on TV, the message is nothing but doom and gloom about the real estate market,&quot; said Burke. &quot;If you are trying to sell using the broken list, price, put up a sign and place it in the MLS methods, they are correct and your property can sit on the market for years with no bids or contingency &quot;offers&quot; while losing value each and every day.&quot; 

He continued, &quot;People selling real estate in the Jackson Hole market think they are &#039;immune&#039; to the nationwide correction in real estate values, with almost every agent saying the same things agents in Orange County, California, were telling us two years ago, which is &#039;It can&#039;t happen here, there is too much demand, prices will never go down&#8230;&#039;&quot;

&quot;July 2008 saw an actual 28 percent across the board decrease in Orange County property values,&quot; according to DQnews.com, explained Burke. The Jackson Hole market has seen the first signs of the nationwide real estate turmoil with public records revealing a 40% percent decrease in sales transactions from this time last year and a four to five percent decrease in property values.&quot;

Burke said, &quot;This could be the tip of the iceberg or the prices can &#039;hold the line&#039; depending on a number of factors outside of the control of sellers, agents or the local market.&quot;

&quot;The good news is an auction is an event where bidders &#039;win&#039; the property and are happy knowing they only paid one bid more than someone else was willing to pay,&quot; said Burke. &quot;Competitive bidding will deliver 100 percent of the present cash market value for a property on a specific date in &quot;as-is&quot; condition with no contingencies and a quick 30-day closing with no seller commission.&quot;

Burke explained that the buyer pays the commission to the auctioneer, along with the escrow and closing fees in the spirit of 2,000 years of auction traditions. He noted, &quot;This is the selling event of the season. If a property owner wants to sell their property on September 20th, this auction event will simply deliver more marketing firepower than the local agents are capable of delivering.&quot;

By fully utilizing the Microsoft.NET&#8482; development framework as the very foundation of New World&#039;s Logos.NET&#8482; <a href="http://www.newworldsystems.com/Public_Administration/index.asp" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="Public Administration software">Public Administration software</a>, the Company is providing hundreds of city and county governments a technology solution to &#039;Work the Way You Live&#8482;&#039;.
 
&quot;We are supplying local governments with an enterprise solution that makes their employees more efficient through public administration software that is tailored to fit the way they work,&quot; said Bob Lewis, Vice President of Sales for <a href="http://www.newworldsystems.com/About_Us/index.asp" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="New World Systems">New World Systems</a>. &quot;New World is relying on an industry leader [Microsoft to keep our technology ahead of the rest. This means we can focus on our customer&#039;s needs, rather than building and maintaining a foundational infrastructure.&quot; 

The Microsoft.NET framework in New World&#039;s administration software provides a flexible, scalable and expandable foundation using web services in a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). New World&#039;s software uses additional Microsoft technology to ease reporting processes for local governments. Logos.NET offers seamless integration with common every-day applications, like Microsoft Office, to improve productivity and help eliminate paperwork. And web-based Logos.NET is also built to empower employees, vendors and citizens with anytime, anywhere access to the public administration software. 

New World&#039;s highly successful &#039;Work the Way You Live&#039; focus is making many city and county governments re-evaluate the way they handle public administration. More than a dozen new customers from across the country have joined the Company&#039;s expanding customer-base in the first half of 2008, largely due to New World&#039;s technology and software development direction. 

In the City of Brooklyn Park, Minn., the most recent city to select New World&#039;s Logos.NET Public Administration software solution, officials explained technology did play a key role in selecting a public administration software provider. 

&quot;New World&#039;s technology vision is a good match for where our city is heading,&quot; said Brooklyn Park Finance Director Cory Kampf. &quot;The Microsoft.NET&#8482; environment provides an ease of use we enjoy, and Logos.NET has the strongest reporting capabilities of all the solutions we reviewed. New World&#039;s technology platform and development direction will make us more efficient because their solution seamlessly integrates with applications we use every day like Microsoft Excel, Outlook and more.&quot;

Can we leave the world a better place and be successful at the same time? Nic Mc and Aquamuzic have answered yes to the above and placed their faith into his first release, Unlimited Guitar Experiments Vol 1.

&quot;Nic is an original and a free thinker,&quot; says Aquamuzic president, Thierry Deruelle. &quot;He is the alter ego that every business man secretly wants to be... He&#039;s the one that made the Aquamuzic project work.&quot; 

His philosophy is that once your family is protected, you have a couple of nice cars, a nice home, good schools to send your kids to, nice clothes and some free time to travel, what else do you need? &quot;So many people on this planet can&#039;t even safely drink their water and we need 3 iPhones? Frugality is not the issue here and no one should be ashamed of success. We ought to live comfortably but can we do it better?&quot;

&quot;Sustainable economic development for us in the west will come with an eco minded sustainable middle class everywhere else and it is not by  replicating our wasteful model in China and India that we will achieve success on this planet as a species,&quot; says Nic.

Aquamuzic wants to be a catalyst between artists such as Nic Mc and large organizations that fight poverty around the world by giving access to drinkable water.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[St. Paul, MN (PRWEB) August 19, 2008 -- A new online registry for teachers created by Minnesota-based Anderson&#039;s, is launching in time for back to school. Similar to registries for babies and brides, Gold Star Registry is designed to allow teachers to post a wish list of the supplemental classroom tools that enhance their learning environment, such as skill-builders, achievement awards and learning incentives. The registry provides the curriculum aids they need to teach and motivate students while enabling parents, parent-teacher associations and other supportive community members to contribute the exact supplies requested by the teachers.

According to a recent national survey conducted by Quality Education Data (QED), U.S. teachers spend on average $475 of their own money on supplies for their students and classrooms. Gold Star Registry aims to help alleviate pressure on teacher pocketbooks by enabling parents and others to contribute the exact supplies teachers indicate they need most.  The service lets the teacher take advantage of the Internet to build upon the lists of classroom items needed that teachers typically send out at the beginning of the year. 

&quot;Gold Star Registry makes it possible to obtain the tools that will help students learn while also making it easy for parents and communities to provide meaningful support to their local teachers,&quot; said Katie Schervish, an elementary school teacher from St. Nicholas Academy in Louisville, Kentucky, who participated in the pilot launch of the new service. &quot;While donations from parents or the parent teacher association are always appreciated, the items they give may not always align with our most pressing learning need.&quot;

Gold Star Registry Business Unit Leader and Program Spokesperson Judy McClellan said, &quot;In many districts, school budgets simply cannot cover the cost of all the classroom supplies needed.  Teachers committed to creating an attractive learning environment and providing the additional tools to help their students learn are buying the extras with their own money.  Our registry enables teachers to get what they need without putting further strain on their own budget or that of the district.  It effectively widens the circle of support for schools.&quot;

To use the service, teachers register at a website, <a href="http://www.goldstarregistry.com" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank">www.goldstarregistry.com</a>.  There, they can build an online wish list from the more than 6,000 available products from 16 leading education publishers that have been recommended by teachers. They simply indicate the quantity of each item needed.  Teachers can update their wish lists while also indicating the preferred delivery date of materials at any time throughout the school year.

Parents, parent teacher associations and others can then log onto an individual teacher&#039;s registry and purchase items, knowing that 100 percent of the gift goes directly to the teacher.  They can make their selections fully confident that they are contributing supplies that the teacher and students specifically want and need.  Purchases are shipped directly to the school, a convenience that saves donors time, effort and gasoline.

Gold Star Registry helps ensure that the items donors give will make a difference for the teacher and students. Parents will know the teacher needs specific items like workbooks, bulletin board sets, flashcards, stickers or award incentives that will help to enhance learning skills versus giving a gift specific to a teacher. &quot;Although we appreciate the sentiment, many of us simply don&#039;t need another gift of a coffee...
