<p>Sponsorship packages and spots to play in the tournament are still available for purchase.</p>

Fresh Start serves U.S.-based children as a priority and reaches out internationally as we believe that no child should suffer with a physical deformity due to birth defect, disease, accident or abuse.

<p>Fresh Start accepts children and young people under the age of 18 from:<br />
* financially disadvantaged families with no health care insurance; <br />
* families whose health care insurance won&#8217;t pay for the procedures because they are deemed &#8220;cosmetic&#8221;;<br />
* families who do not qualify for state funded programs;<br />
* families who would suffer significant financial hardship if they were to pay for the necessary and costly medical treatment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://enewschannels.com/META/E12-0411-lendqb_72dpi.jpg" border="0" title="Omega Financial Services" alt="Omega Financial Services" class="alignright" align="right" />COSTA MESA, Calif. /eNewsChannels/ &#8212; LendingQB, a provider of seamless mortgage lending technology, announced that Omega Financial Services, Inc., a retail and wholesale mortgage banker, has implemented its comprehensive Web-based loan origination system (LOS) to automate each of its business channels. LendingQB&#8217;s platform will reduce Omega&#8217;s cost per loan, maximize productivity across operations and decrease its existing technology costs. </p>
<p>Acting as an advisor to Omega, Joe Cilento, CPA, CMB, a mortgage industry veteran and consultant, guided the selection and implementation of Lending QB&#8217;s LOS platform after performing a company-wide review of operations. </p>
<p>&#8220;I have conducted numerous mortgage technology evaluations and implementations; the rollout of LendingQB&#8217;s Web-based platform was one smoothest I&#8217;ve been involved with,&#8221; said Cilento. &#8220;The extensive level of support that LendingQB provided and their ability to easily configure tailored workflows are the main reasons Omega&#8217;s implementation was so successful.&#8221;</p>
<p>LendingQB&#8217;s LOS seamlessly integrates Omega&#8217;s entire workflow and lending functions to enable the straight through processing (STP) of loans. From the point-of-sale (POS) through closing and funding, LendingQB consolidates all of Omega&#8217;s lending activities onto a single platform that creates a true end-to-end experience. Regardless of employees&#8217; roles, LendingQB contains Omega&#8217;s users to a single database and software environment to ensure the same data is being used in different departments. The result is fewer manual touch points, which turns Omega&#8217;s lending practices into a profit optimization workflow. </p>
<p>&#8220;We were previously using a well-known LOS that has been trying to assemble an end-to-end solution, but we found the system inadequate to handle our needs from soup-to-nuts so we began looking for a solution that could,&#8221; said Armando Morell, information systems director at Omega Financial Services, Inc. &#8220;We retained mortgage consultant Joe Cilento to help us perform the evaluation process and concluded that most LOSs try to achieve an end-to-end solution by way of integrating with multiple best-of-breed vendors because they are lacking key functionality in a number of different areas. Of all the solutions we looked at, there wasn&#8217;t an all-in-one Web-based LOS on the market that could seamlessly automate every single area of the lending process like LendingQB is able to.&#8221; </p>
<p>Once Omega&#8217;s LOs and brokers run product and pricing scenarios in LendingQB&#8217;s retail or broker portal, they can pull credit and the automated underwriting system (AUS) returns an instant, accurate decision that analyzes investors&#8217; entire underwriting manuals, which carries the same weight as a human underwriter&#8217;s decision. The loan then seamlessly moves through Omega&#8217;s workflow with minimal human intervention. Omega says the efficiencies gained using LendingQB&#8217;s end-to-end LOS will optimize employee performance, reduce their cost per loan and also attract top tier sales talent. In addition, Omega&#8217;s LOs, brokers and AEs can use LendingQB&#8217;s mobile application for smart phones, which allows them to check rates, return product eligibility and pricing, and manage their pipeline from the field. </p>
<p>&#8220;Paramount to running an efficient lending operation is the seamless connection of every workflow the lender uses to eliminate unnecessary human interaction and thus improve productivity,&#8221; said Binh Dang, president of LendingQB. &#8220;The only way to achieve this is to implement an all-in-one platform that uses a single database and is discriminating with outside integrations, as too many interfaces and separate databases creates data integrity issues and hampers efficiency and accuracy.&#8221;</p>
<p>LendingQB&#8217;s platform is comprised of LO, broker, and consumer direct point-of-sale Web portals for all lending channels; product and pricing engine; proprietary AUS; loan processing; electronic documents, closing; secondary marketing; and interim servicing. LendingQB also accompanies business intelligence (BI) and data analytics functionality along with detailed reporting that helps lenders locate and translate their data into actionable information, enabling them to make informed business decisions that establishes a competitive advantage and leads to greater profitability.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://enewschannels.com/META/E12-0523-truesdell_72dpi.jpg" border="0" title="EraNova Institute" alt="EraNova Institute" class="alignright" align="right" />KIRKLAND, Wash. /eNewsChannels/ &#8212; LTC Financial Partners, LLC (LTCFP) today announced an agreement with EraNova Institute to distribute a special report on the future of long-term care insurance (LTCI) as an employee benefit. The report will be made available by LTCFP to selected employee benefit brokers, human resource managers, and heads of business and non-profit organizations. Titled &#8220;The LTC Benefit Battle,&#8221; the EraNova document is based on interviews with leaders in the insurance, healthcare, and employee benefit fields. </p>
<p>&#8220;This report is quite significant,&#8221; says Cameron Truesdell, CEO of LTCFP, &#8220;because it paints an accurate, bright picture for long-term care protection in American workplaces. And it answers questions about the viability of LTCI as an employee benefit.&#8221; </p>
<p>Some carriers have withdrawn from the group LTCI market, fueling fears that the benefit might be losing favor. &#8220;But the industry is merely adjusting and regrouping, as the report finds,&#8221; Truesdell says. &#8220;There&#8217;s a struggle going on between two types of the benefit, group LTCI and voluntary multi-life LTCI. Both have a future but multi-life is set to come on strong.&#8221; </p>
<p>With multi-life LTC insurance, there is no master policy as with the traditional group benefit. Individual policies are issued to each insured member, and there is usually greater flexibility in policy design. &#8220;Multi-life fits today&#8217;s dynamic, fast-evolving organizations,&#8221; says Truesdell. &#8220;It can work with as few as three employees or as many as tens of thousands.&#8221;</p>
<p>The 12-page report sees a large market potential for multi-life based on its value to three constituencies. For employees it protects earning capacity as well as retirement assets. For employers it bolsters productivity of an aging workforce and helps retain the best talent. For Uncle Sam and the states it reduces reliance on Medicaid to pay for care.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://enewschannels.com/META/E12-0522-mrocha_72dpi.jpg" border="0" title="wholesale mortgage bank" alt="wholesale mortgage bank" class="alignright" align="right" />AUSTIN, Texas /eNewsChannels/ &#8212; 360 Mortgage Group, a privately owned wholesale mortgage bank, has hired Utah-based mortgage specialist Melanie Rocha as an account executive in its Western region. Rocha, a former 360 Mortgage Group employee, brings more than 10 years of mortgage industry experience.</p>
<p>Prior to re-joining 360 Mortgage Group, Rocha worked as a loan officer and processor for Oakridge Capital, a wholesale account executive for CIT Home Lending and a wholesale account executive for First Greensboro Home Equity, Inc.</p>
<p>&#8220;To be successful, I need to have a lender behind me that offers the technology and support to get the job done,&#8221; Rocha said. &#8220;360 Mortgage Group unequivocally delivers on its promise to make its brokers look good, and that&#8217;s why I chose to come back to 360.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Melanie is very detail-oriented,&#8221; said Courtney Henry, president of One City Mortgage. &#8220;She doesn&#8217;t work a typical 9-to-5 schedule. Instead, she is there for her customers at all hours that she might be needed. Melanie also knows her products front to back and knows how to approach everything to make it work smoothly.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://enewschannels.com/META/E12-0510-sbdoo_72dpi.jpg" border="0" title="Workforce Investment Act" alt="Workforce Investment Act" class="alignright" align="right" />SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. /eNewsChannels/ &#8212; The San Bernardino County Workforce Investment Board announced on the heels of the Y4 event on Friday, April 27 that unemployed youth may apply for the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) youth program. The program gives eligible youth access to educational and career opportunities and job skills programs through adult and peer mentoring and counseling. The goal is for all participants to obtain valuable work experience, GEDs and certifications. </p>
<p>Applicants up to the age of 21 must be a resident of San Bernardino County and a senior in high school or out of school. The program is designed for at-risk, low-income youth. The youth programs may have additional qualifications and may be contacted for further details.</p>
<p>The WIA youth program is funded by the San Bernardino County Workforce Investment Board. The deadline to apply is September 30, 2012. More than 500 positions are currently open; applicants should visit <a href="http://www.SBCountyJobOps.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://www.SBCountyJobOps.com" target="_blank">www.SBCountyJobOps.com</a> to find the local youth program in their community.</p>
<p>An annual tradition, Y4 provides WIA youth participants with high-energy presentations, career building workshops and opportunities to meet with local employers. More than 600 San Bernardino County youth gathered at Citizens Bank Arena to celebrate the completion of program year 2011-2012. </p>
<p>&#8220;A year ago, half of my students needed GEDs and only a few had jobs,&#8221; said Kristi Evans, youth employment specialist with the Mental Health Systems Needles Center for Change. &#8220;Now 90% of them have earned their GEDs and have received certifications. They couldn&#8217;t have done it without the support of the San Bernardino County Workforce Investment Board&#8217;s youth job training program.&#8221;</p>
<p>Evans left for Ontario at 5:00 a.m. to drive 22 youth to the celebration. She was determined that after all of their hard work and dedication to the WIA youth program, they take part in the celebration.</p>
<p>&#8220;This year&#8217;s Y4 event was an awesome opportunity to celebrate the year-long commitment made by 665 courageous young men and women, who chose to take charge of their future,&#8221; said Josie Gonzales, San Bernardino County Chair and Fifth District Supervisor. &#8220;I was honored to speak to them and share a little bit about my life and my challenges. I wanted them to know that if I can make it, they can too!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;These young people should be proud of their accomplishments, but the journey has only begun,&#8221; added Gonzales. &#8220;Hopefully, the resources and motivational speakers at Y4 will help them as they work towards their own personal and professional success.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Roadtrip Nation Experience RV was also part of the Y4 celebration. This year, the San Bernardino County Workforce Investment Board partnered with the Roadtrip Nation Experience to provide an intensive curriculum. By giving students the tools to interview and film someone in their career of interest, the Roadtrip Nation Experience empowers students to define their own roads in life; to relate what they study to their real-world experiences; and open doors to different pathways and possibilities. </p>
<p>&#8220;Our success is due to the dedication of staff and the youth service providers who implement the Workforce Investment Act program across the county,&#8221; said Sandy Harmsen, executive director of the San Bernardino County Workforce Investment Board. &#8220;They work with our youth participants daily and devote themselves to help each individual achieve his or her goals.&#8221;</p>
<p>Y4 was hosted by County of San Bernardino Board of Supervisors, in partnership with the Workforce Investment Board of San Bernardino County.</p>
