It's Sew Easy

BioMedical Technology Solutions, Inc. (”BMTS”) (OTCBB: BMTL) is pleased to announce that it has placed the Demolizer® II System at Atlus Air Force Base, the home of the 97th Air Mobility Wing in Southern Oklahoma. This expands on the use of the Demolizer® technology at U.S. military bases for the onsite treatment of sharps and typical red bag waste. The Demolizer® II provides a simple, safe and environmentally friendly means to manage medical waste generated in support of the deployment, training and care of U.S. military personnel.

The Demolizer® II delivers long term cost advantages compared to traditional hauling options and improved personnel safety and base security since hauling trucks will no longer need to pass through gates and checkpoints. Because BMTS onsite treatment system does not use harsh chemicals, requires very little energy, and eliminates the negative environmental impacts of traditional waste hauling and large-scale processing options, the Demolizer® II fits well with the Air Forces “Green Initiative.” For these reasons, BMTS expects to expand product placement at U.S. military bases across the country over the coming months.

1-Les Mills World of Fitness “I dont get addicted to one gym. I go to three or four different ones so that I dont waste my time on the same equipment all the time.”
Fjordland Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE: FEX) is pleased to report that, as a result of its recent successes at their Woodjam Project, it has recently acquired a 100% interest in eight properties located in the south Cariboo region of central British Columbia, believed by Company geologists to be prospective for copper-gold, porphyry-type deposits.

Taseko Mines recently expanded Gibraltar copper-molybdenum mine and Xstratas past-producing Boss Mountain molybdenum mine are located approximately 50 km to the northwest and at the eastern side of the area, respectively. In addition, recent government mine approvals for Imperial Metals Red Chris, Taseko Mines Prosperity and Terrane Metals Mt. Milligan copper-gold properties in British Columbia, as well as recent expansion plans announced for the Teck Resources Highland Valley Copper copper-molybdenum mine and the recent start of construction at Copper Mountain Minings past-producing Copper Mountain copper-gold mine to the south, are very encouraging indicators for the future of the mining industry in the Province.

Between 2007 and 2008, the Woodjam Joint Venture (”WJV”) (60% Fjordland/40% Cariboo Rose Resources Ltd.) discovered two new and potentially significant mineralized porphyry-style gold-copper zones on their Woodjam Property, located 45 km east of the city of Williams Lake. In 2009, Gold Fields Horsefly Exploration Corporation (a member of the Gold Fields Limited group of companies), under an option agreement with the WJV, carried out a large, systematic exploration program, including limited drilling, on the Woodjam North Property. Gold Fields has just recently resumed a winter drilling program.

Based on the knowledge gained from these recent exploration programs, Fjordland has expanded its interests in the region. The eight properties acquired by staking cover areas of favourable geology and prospective magnetic anomalies. Much of the area acquired is covered by extensive overburden, which has hampered traditional, historic exploration programs. In particular, the northern portion of the Late Triassic to Early Jurassic Takomkane batholith represents a good area for discovery, as evidenced the WJVs recent Southeast Zone copper-gold-molybdenum discovery on the Woodjam South Property. The age of mineralization here (approximately 197 Ma) is younger than that at both the Mount Polley and Gibraltar mines to the north and northwest, respectively, but falls within the range of mineralization published for the giant Highland Valley Copper deposits to the south with average daily mill throughput at over 120,000 tonnes.

(NYSE Amex: NLP) – NTS Realty Holdings
Limited Partnership (the “Company”) announced today that the board of
directors of its managing general partner, NTS Realty Capital, Inc.,
approved a quarterly distribution of $0.05 per unit on the Companys
limited partnership units. The distribution will be paid on January 15,
2010 to limited partners of record at the close of business on December 31,
2009.

Distributions to limited partners are made in accordance with the Companys
distribution policy as described in its most recent annual report on Form
10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2009.
The Company previously indicated that its distributions in 2009 have been
reduced in comparison to the distributions made in corresponding quarters
of 2008 primarily because of uncertainties concerning real estate taxes
payable for three of the Companys properties located in Marion County,
Indiana. The Company successfully appealed the tax assessments for these
properties for the assessment year 2006. However, shortly after the
Company prevailed in its appeal, the taxing authority imposed new
assessments for the assessment year 2007 at values similar to those that
existed prior to the Companys successful appeals. The Company has filed
appeals for the newly assessed amounts, but does not expect the appeals to
be resolved until 2010. Additionally, the overall condition of the U.S.
economy, although not currently presenting any specific significant concern
to the Company, continues to have the potential to adversely affect the
Companys operations. Due to the continued uncertainty of the real estate
tax situation and the ongoing uncertainty related to U.S. economic trends
and events, credit market volatility and predicted high unemployment in
many markets in which we operate our properties, the board of directors of
the Companys managing general partner approved the aforementioned fourth
quarter distribution in an amount consistent with the first, second and
third quarter distributions in 2009.

A spokesperson for the Company indicated that, “Although the Company
currently expects to continue its conservative philosophy with respect to
distributions in the first quarter of 2010, the amount of any future
distributions will be subject to the performance of the Companys
properties, its potential acquisitions and dispositions, the need for cash
reserves and other factors, including, but not limited to the continued
volatility being exhibited in the global financial markets and the U.S.
economy and the outcome of the pending tax appeals. In addition, the
actual amount and timing of all future distributions must be approved by
the managing general partners board of directors.”

The Company directly, as a tenant in common with unaffiliated co-owners, or
as a majority joint venture partner with an affiliate, currently owns
twenty-four properties comprised of fourteen multifamily properties, seven
office buildings and business centers and three retail properties. The
properties are located in and around Louisville and Lexington, Kentucky,
Nashville and Cordova, Tennessee, Richmond, Virginia, Fort Lauderdale and
Orlando, Florida, Indianapolis, Indiana and Atlanta, Georgia. The
Companys limited partnership units are listed on the NYSE – Amex platform
under the trading symbol of “NLP.”

The new Web site reflects the company’s broad range of computer-assisted
coding products and services while highlighting its proprietary and
patented Natural Language Processing (NLP) LifeCode® technology, which
serves as the platform for all its coding solutions. A-Life is the only
computer-assisted coding company that owns its technology and possesses
a patented NLP coding engine.

The new, user-friendly site also includes various case studies and
scientific papers emphasizing the benefits of CAC and NLP.

Webmaster Dan Radmacher, board member Pete Wasson, and I met briefly during the 2008 convention in Little Rock to draw up a wish list of features we thought members would like and use but didnt have on the old NCEW Website. A committee was formed, and designs reviewed. Months and many conversations and decisions later, NCEW launched its new Website in August 2009. Organizing content for a linear product like a magazine, where the reader begins reading on the front page and proceeds through to the last, and organizing content for a Website, where content is relational and sought via search, are very different endeavors. Like Dean Singleton says in his piece in this edition on “The Future of Newspapers,” we dont need newspapers.com–we need news. com. The same concept holds true for the NCEW Website. Thus, organizing the Website launch, the convention coverage, and the final print edition, was challenging because each publication goal was slightly different. A feature format that works well in print doesnt work quite the same way on the Website.
That the future is mobile is not news. That libraries need to have a presence in the emerging mobile landscape is also not news. The question is how do you move there? Its not as if your regular library website is going to start testing, updating, and redesigning itself: Beleaguered webmasters need to find a way to develop a strong mobile presence with minimal effort. Are we back to the days of coding multiple versions of our pages for various browsers – tweaking, hacking, and praying along the way? Thankfully no, but webmasters do need to make some choices.

In the popular press, grape extracts have been touted as miracle compounds that can do everything from cure cancer to reverse aging. These claims may be a little premature, but beneficial substances within grapes have been found to provide a variety of benefits for overall health and wellness. Sports scientists are now starting to demonstrate that grape components can benefit physical performance and recovery, as well. Grapes contain a multitude of beneficial substances classified as polyphenols. One you may have heard a lot about is resveratrol. This phytochemical, found mainly in the skins and seeds of the grape, has been shown to help prevent certain types of cancer and heart disease, as well as extend lifespan, bolster muscle endurance and even help with fat loss. Polyphenols act as antioxidants. During exercise, free radical formation can result in excessive muscle damage that can impede performance and recovery. Antioxidants help to neutralize free radicals, which may help reduce muscle damage while maintaining strength. Grapes are considered to be one of the most concentrated sources of antioxidants among all fruits and vegetables. THE STUDY French researchers conducted a study in which 20 elite male athletes from various sports received a grape extract or a placebo every day for one month. Following the one-month treatment, each subject had a two-week break, and then received the alternative treatment for another month. During the entire study, all athletes continued with their normal intensive training routines. Several tests were conducted during each study period to measure changes in overall power, antioxidant status and muscle damage. THE RESULTS When subjects took the grape extract their antioxidant levels were much higher compared to when they received the placebo treatment. Muscle damage was also found to be significantly lower during the grape extract treatment. The improvements in antioxidant status and muscle damage didnt translate into improved muscle power in all of the athletes tested, but a subgroup of handball players (10 of the 20 subjects) did gain increased overall power. The researchers also found that the subjects who experienced the least muscle damage due to grape supplementation had the greatest overall improvements in muscle power. THE DOSAGE Take 200-500 milligrams of grape extract, or grape-seed extract (Vitis vinifera) standardized for at least 80% polyphenols, in the morning and about 30-60 minutes before workouts.

Park Lawn Income Trust (”Park Lawn”)(TSX VENTURE: PLC.UN) and Park Lawn Company Limited (”PLCL”) (CNSX: PRL) have entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) among Park Lawn, PLCL, LMS Medical Systems Inc. (”LMS”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary thereof (”Subco”) pursuant to which such parties will, among other things, participate in a series of transactions (collectively, the “Transaction”) undertaken as part of a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under section 182(1) of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) designed to result in (1) Park Lawn converting from an income trust to a corporation (the “Conversion”), and (2) PLCL indirectly owning all of the assets of Park Lawn and all of the issued and outstanding securities of Subco.

Park Lawns present monthly distribution of $.055 per unit will continue until the completion of the Transaction, and Park Lawn expects to continue monthly payments, which will be paid as dividends, subsequent to completion of the Transaction.

On October 31, 2006, the Department of Finance announced the Specified Investment Flow-Through Trust (”SIFT”) income and distribution tax (the “SIFT Tax”). As a result of the SIFT Tax, the Department of Finance has made clear its intention to eliminate public income trusts. In order to qualify for a tax-free conversion, Park Lawn must convert to a corporation before the end of 2013. Having regard to these legislative changes and the financing and growth advantages Park Lawn can expect to enjoy as a corporation, Park Lawn believes that it is in its best interests to proceed with the Transaction at this time. The Transaction is also designed to afford LMS the opportunity to participate in the future growth of PLCL through its ownership of the securities of PLCL that will be issued to it as part of the Transaction.

CHICAGO — Fitch Ratings has placed the following classes of Credit Suisse First
Boston (CSFB), series 1999-C1, on Rating Watch Negative:

Class H has been placed on Rating Watch Negative due to interest
shortfalls which began in February 2010. Class G has been placed on
Rating Watch Negative due to adverse selection and a high concentration
of specially serviced loans.

Interest shortfalls on the transaction are a result of appraisal
reductions and special servicing fees. There are currently six loans
(47.6%) in special servicing, the largest of which is Tallahassee Mall
(31.9%), an REO property. The monthly ASER on this mall is approximately
80% of the total monthly shortfall.

The federal governments plans to introduce legislation that will make it easier for credit unions to operate nationally is applauded and supported by the Case for Progress committee, a group composed of credit unions across Canada. Canadas Minister of Finance Jim Flaherty announced the plans yesterday as part of the 2010 budget.

Mark Mcloughlin, Chair of the Case for Progress committee, says the legislation will give Canadian credit unions more choice in their growth options by allowing them to operate outside their traditional provincial boundaries, and will also strengthen the credit union system. The committee has been supporting federal legislation for several years and is the leading proponent for the change.

“We are marking a historic milestone today,” says Mcloughlin. “This new legislation benefits all Canadians by increasing their choices in selecting a financial institution. It will strengthen the stability and competitiveness of the entire financial services industry in Canada.”

Mcloughlin explains that the new legislation, if passed, will provide the credit union system with increased economies of scale and more competitive cost bases, which make it a strong and viable nationwide alternative within the financial services industry in Canada.

The decision to take advantage of the legislation is ultimately up to individual credit unions and they would need to determine, in consultation with their members, whether the federal option is in their best interest and aligns with their growth strategies. Approval from members would be required before any credit union could proceed to expand across provincial borders.

Less than 12% of our authors have ever taken a creative writing course. This means that all but a few have to get by on their writing, or fit their work around job and family. No violins needed – publishing is a commercial business. Most authors live in the real world, not some grant-funded ivory tower. As for genteel poverty, two-thirds of our members earn less than pound(s)20,000 a year from writing – considerably less than the national average salary. Almost half earn less than the minimum wage. The Authors Licensing and Collecting Society paints an even grimmer picture – the average author income from their work is around pound(s)14,000. While few could match Hugh MacDiarmids poetic mastery, authors understand all too well what being strapped for cash is all about. The Literature Working Group seems out of touch. If Ms Goring really wants to help the lot of authors in Scotland, she might start by not “profiling” them in such a nonsensical way.

Premium Rate SMS services have developed into a $200 million market.
However this is a far cry from the predictions made in the late 1990s,
which anticipated a multibillion-dollar market. Despite a decade of
mobile data hype the access charges to PSMS remain far too high and in
2009 the market started to contract. With the advent of capped mobile
services and new smart phones such as the iPhone, we now see users
moving to the Internet to access a far wider variety of Apps based
mobile content and communication services. In the PSMS market the mobile
operators maintain an iron grip on this market through their m-payment
facilities. The high costs limits the market to the more lucrative areas
of gaming, adult services, horoscopes, etc. Subscription-based services
were introduced to address the bill shock problems produced by these
high charges but in some cases this has only made matters worse. Only

MORE than two million women in the UK a r e a f f e c t e d b y endometriosis What is it? ENDOMETRIOSIS causes very bad pelvic pain and fertility can be affected. It happens when cells that would normally line the uterus settle in a different part of the pelvis – often the ovaries – but also the f a l l o p i a n t u b e s o r intestine. Retrograde menstruation: Instead of blood escaping through the cervix into the vagina, some menstrual blood travels down the fallopian tubes and into the pelvis, depositing cells in different places. Hereditary: There may be a genetic factor as white women are more likely to suffer than those of Afro-Caribbean origin. Blood or lymphatic spread: Endometrial cells may travel via blood or the lymphatic system. Environmental toxins: Some believe toxic chemicals in the environment are to blame. Symptoms ENDOMETRIOSIS usually causes painful periods. Sex can be painful too – and fertility can be an issue if there is a lot of internal scarring. Treatment THERE is currently no cure. The focus on treatment is to improve symptoms and the quality of life for the sufferer. Hormone treatment can slow the progression of the disease. Good pain relief can ease the discomfort. Surgery can maximise fertility.
BRITISH Gas is threatening to axe 5,000 jobs and two call centres, unions said last night. The energy giant, under fire for a record pounds 595million profit on the back of crippling winter fuel bills, has secret plans to slash the number of back office staff, they revealed. In a new blow to their 17.5 million customers battered by high heating costs in the worst winter for 30 years, British Gas are facing a possible strike. The GMB, the companys largest union with 10,000 members, are sending out ballot papers on action this weekend. Sites at risk include Stockport, Leicester, Cardiff, Southampton and Edinburgh. GMB general secretary Paul Kenny said: “British Gas has turned from being a reasonable employer where people had job satisfaction into one with a culture of bullying and making profits at all costs.”
SIMON Cowell thought hed never marry – because he didnt see himself as a one-woman man. The 50-year-old X Factor guru said he always avoided popping the question because he thought hed “get bored” of any woman he tied the knot with. He told UTVs Piers Morgan Life Stories last night: “I never believed I could be with one person for the rest of my life. Asked how many times he had actually been in love, Simon replied: “Not very often. I can count on one hand.”

Dear Dr Cath, MY mate is very cut up after being ditched by his girlfriend. He told me he is thinking of putting a video of himself having kinky sex with her on the internet as revenge if she doesnt take him back. My wife knows his ex and says theres no hope of reconciliation. I feel I should warn her about the video but dont want to betray my friend. Dear reader, ITS completely out of order to put this video on the internet. You need to trust your lover if youre going to make a movie with them – and trust them not to misuse it if you break up.
John McGlynn claimed Ross Countys winning penalty was awarded for an “invented” foul as the Dingwall side gained vital ground on leaders Dundee. With the Dens Park side drawing at home to Inverness Caley Thistle, Ross County moved to within five points of top spot, with two games in hand. But the raging Rovers manager wants to study video footage of the controversial incident involving Scott Boyd that led to Richard Brittains 75th-minute winner. Countys resilience in a remarkable season of progress continued with this win. Raith proved capable opponents but Countys reward for second-half superiority came from that questionable penalty award.

POLICE officers are being given hypnotherapy to help them stop smoking – at the taxpayers expense. The West Midlands force put 140 officers through hour-long sessions. At least 65 per cent of them have quit and most of the others have cut down. And now the countrys biggest forces, including the Met, are looking at launching their own schemes. The once-a-month hypnotherapy sessions cost pounds 40 each, with police forces stumping up half the cost and the taxpayer the rest.

Lending Stream Ltd, a leading payday loans company in the UK, wishes to draw the attention of its customers and members of the general public to the prevalence of fraudulent activity being perpetuated by fraudsters aiming to defame the company and mislead its customers. It has been noticed that the name of the company, its logo as well as its address are being misused in attempts to defraud the public through false correspondence and other scams. This type of fraud may be via email, letters, text messages, facsimile or by using a website claiming to be that of Lending Stream Limited.

The customers of Lending Stream are being supplied with false, unscrupulous and misleading information by the scammers. The information includes business deals or non-existent products, as well as false payday loan products and product lines through anonymous letters. In order to provide legitimacy to their mails, the scammers send their letters on imitation Lending Stream Limited letterheads or through anonymous letters.

“We believe in responsible lending and it is a matter of grave concern that some of our customers are being misled with false information. We strongly advise customers to exercise caution while providing personal information, sending money or disclosing bank details to any person claiming to represent Lending Stream or to have a relationship with the company,” a spokesperson from Lending Stream commented.

Lending Stream is leaving no stone unturned to trace and curb such unsolicited correspondence and is working closely with all regulatory authorities and law enforcement agencies to bring such fraudsters to Justice.

“It is our constant endeavour to provide the best and unparalleled support to our esteemed customers, while working earnestly to protect them from falling prey to certain scammers evil motives. We will do all we can to uphold our strong values, goodwill and clean reputation that we have built in this business for around two years,” the spokesperson stated.

EDINBURGH financiers hopes of reinventing Lloyds TSB Scotland as an independent Scottish-headquartered bank look likely to be dashed because parent Lloyds Banking Group is providing billions of pounds to fund loans to customers, the Sunday Herald can reveal. The latest accounts of Lloyds TSB Scotland, run in recent years by Susan Rice, show its loans to customers exceeded deposits by more than pound(s)5 billion at the end of 2008. Loans, at pound(s)11.6bn, were nearly double customer deposits of pound(s)6.5bn. The vast bulk of this gap is plugged by loans from Lloyds Banking Group. Ben Thomson, who headed Edinburgh investment bank Noble, has been fronting the group of financiers looking at Lloyds TSB Scotland. Leith Robertson, former deputy chief executive of RBSs global banking and markets division, is, like Mr Mathewson, believed to have had some involvement, along with other senior figures in the Scottish financial community. Mr Mathewson is chairman of First Minister Alex Salmonds Council of Economic Advisers. Mr Thomson is also said to be close to Mr Salmond.
Dominance has become a threat to Rangers. The Ibrox sides lead at the top of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League is so sizable that it leaves room for negligence. Only a curmudgeon would bemoan the advantage, but wariness is now an obligation for Walter Smith and his players. Satisfaction ought to be enduring. The season remains poised for Rangers, though, as success is possible in all three domestic competitions, but not guaranteed. “Weve not won anything yet,” says Steven Whittaker, the full-back. “Weve still got to follow it through.” The doubt is novel for Rangers, as all three of the clubs title wins since 2000 have been achieved on the final day of the season. The emphasis now is on avoiding complacency. There is familiarity in encountering Premier League opponents at least three times in each campaign, but other factors are also relevant. Almost every side in the top flight still has something to play for. Fixtures against the Old Firm also tend to raise spirits. No game should be considered elementary.

THE husband of an Irish psychologist, butchered at her Manhattan – wielding schizophrenic, has filed a $10 million lawsuit claiming the man should never have got in the building. Dr Kathryn Faugheys widower, Walter Adam, has been fighting for justice ever since it was determined his wifes killer David Tarloff was mentally unfit to stand trial for the 2008 slaying. His lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court is against the buildings owners and manager. Tarloff, 41, went to the building because he was nursing a 17-year grudge against Dr Faugheys colleague and suite mate, Dr. Kent Shinbach.

30% Of the Home Health Claims Are Discharged Sooner Than Physician
Anticipated

ORLANDO, Fla. — Thirty percent of the home health care workers’ compensation cases
managed by Total Medical Solutions (TMS) were discharged prior to the
“order-end date,” the last date the physician had anticipated that
services would be required.

The figure comes from an internal review of 250 cases with an intake
date between March 1 and July 15, 2009. Of the early discharges, 27
involving RN or LPN services were discharged an average of nine days
early. Twenty four of the cases involved physical therapy and were
discharged an average of 10 days early and 10 cases involved home health
care aides and nine involved intravenous or infusion services.

“With home health care adding hundreds of dollars a day to a claim,
earlier discharge represents significant savings for our clients,” said
Cara Barde, president of TMS.

TMS has a policy of having staff in patients’ homes within 24 hours of
the receipt of doctors’ orders. “We start treatment early and provide
the level of professional expertise these complex cases require,” she
added.

The Center for Regulatory Excellence Grant Program funds innovative

education; continued competence; discipline and alternatives to discipline;
and national and international portability.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Efficient Power Conversion Corporation (EPC) today introduced a family
of enhancement mode power transistors based on its proprietary gallium
nitride on Silicon technology.

Spanning a range of 40 Volts to 200 Volts, and 4 milliohms to 100
milliohms, these power transistors demonstrate significant performance
advantages over state-of-the-art silicon-based power MOSFETs. EPC’s
technology produces devices that are smaller than similar resistance
silicon devices and have many times superior switching performance.
Applications that benefit from this newly available performance are
DC-DC power supplies, point-of-load converters, Class-D audio
amplifiers, notebook and netbook computers, LED drive circuits, telecom
base stations and cell phones, to name just a few.

EPC’s enhancement mode (normally OFF) GaN technology was explicitly
developed to replace power MOSFETs. The products are produced in a
standard silicon CMOS foundry on 150mm (6 inch) silicon wafers. The use
of this low-cost infrastructure has allowed EPC to price the initial
product offerings aggressively in order to accelerate the conversion
from silicon power MOSFETs.

“EPC’s GaN on silicon power transistors represent the first major
breakthrough in power conversion technology since the development of the
commercial power MOSFET. We have developed a very cost effective and
reliable technology that is also very easy for anyone with power MOSFET
experience to use in a way that will significantly boost their power
management system performance,” said Alex Lidow, EPC’s co-founder and
Chief Executive Officer.

James Bulgers family are understandably the most vocal about wishing to have this information. Its natural that the victims of the ruinous crime will forever be tormented by every aspect of it, and being kept in the dark concerning the whereabouts and activities of the two killers, now 27-year-old men, must form part of that pain. Perhaps, they think, they might have already encountered Venables or Robert Thompson on the street without knowing it. How can they be sure they havent sat beside one of them at a football match or queued behind them in the supermarket? Perhaps the Bulgers unconsciously hunt in the sea of faces every time they are confronted with a crowd, or maybe that subconscious search among strangers is instead a longing to see the face of their own son, now forever lost. Who can be sure? But while their deepest motivation for wishing to be informed about Venables must remain mere guesswork on our part, the fact remains that they do not have the legal right to know. The reason for this is quite clear. Informing the victims family could lead to a breach of anonymity, intentional or unintentional, and the law has been tasked with keeping the new identity of the two murderers secret. So who else is demanding that this law be broken? Ah yes. The Sun newspaper. It wants us to sign a petition to put Venables back on the front pages where he belongs. Oh, and the Daily Mail. And Carol Vorderman, bizarrely, judging by her peculiar, shouty indignation on last weeks Question Time. But why? Well, we cant speak for Vorderman, as she was unable to give an intelligent reason why outing Venables would be a good thing for anyone involved, so the origins of her strident insistence will have to remain a mystery. But The Sun and Daily Mails agenda is at least crystal clear. It would sell more newspapers.

NEW YORK — The president of Brooklyn has declared Beyonce an official Brooklynite. Borough President Marty Markowitz said Beyonce is a Brooklynite by marriage and by moxie. Beyonces husband, Jay-Z, is from Brooklyn. The superstar visited the New York City borough Friday for the opening of the Beyonce Cosmetology Center at a residential substance abuse treatment center. The Phoenix House offers programs for residents in carpentry, building maintenance, computer technology and culinary arts.
Leading fleet insurance specialists Staveley Head have welcomed the news that the Government is planning to introduce a new NVQ-style driving qualification aimed at fleet operators. It is believed that this could lead to more rigid training and qualification and could also generate better road sense and awareness, in turn reducing accidents. In time, it is hoped that this training will also help to reduce fleet insurance and maintenance costs.

The move has received widespread support within the industry. Responding to a survey by RoadSafe, a total of 86% of fleet bosses gave their backing to the idea. Whilst the Department for Transport suggests that vocational driving qualifications should only be taken by van drivers, around two thirds of those questioned stated that they would like to see the qualifications become a requirement for all drivers.

Other findings of the survey revealed that over three quarters of fleet bosses currently include driver training as part of their occupational risk strategy. However, only 43% of those questioned believe that other measures such as fitting vehicles with speed limiters was a good idea.

Staveley Head have over 15 years experience as insurance brokers to some of the UKs largest commercial fleets. Providing cover from a panel of leading insurers, including Zurich, Allianz and Aviva means that the firm can offer the most appropriate cover for clients, at the most affordable prices. A spokesperson for the firm commented on the new driving qualification proposals by saying:

“These proposed measures are a step in the right direction in improving the quality of the nations driving practices. This will not only help to make our roads safer, it will also contribute to reduced fuel, maintenance and insurance costs, which are a welcome boost at a time when so many businesses in the industry are struggling.”

ALEX Arthur, the former World Boxing Organisation super- featherweight champion from Edinburgh, is about to swap the smell of liniment for the scent of greasepaint. But Arthurs introduction to the world of the big screen comes at a price, with his role in the gangster movie “Revenge” calling for him to be beaten up by the female lead on several occasions. “Acting must be in the blood because my cousin Jamie Sives is a successful actor. “The script details my role as a gang member who falls foul of a woman assassin. Mind you, the female in question is a trained killer hell bent on avenging the death of her parents, so shes no slouch when it comes to handling herself.”

Geologix Explorations Inc. (the “Company” or “Geologix”) (TSX: GIX)(FRANKFURT: GF6)(BERLIN: GF6)(STUTTGART: GF6)(MUNICH: GF6) is pleased to announce that in accordance with the Companys previously announced Option to Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Arian Silver Corporation (”Arian”) for the purchase of a 100% interest in the Tepal Gold-Copper Project in Michoacan, Mexico, the Company has delivered US$725,000 cash and 3,434,193 common shares of the Company to Arian as consideration for the 2010 payment obligations under the terms of the Agreement. The shares issued to Arian are subject to a four month restricted sale period.

Further to the terms of the Agreement, Arian will advance to Geologix the sum of US$517,500 as full repayment of a loan delivered to Arian by the Company in September 2009 (see Geologix news releases dated November 5, 2009 and January 29, 2010 for full details on the terms of the Option Agreement).

Dunham Craig, President CEO stated, “With the 2010 option payment obligations to Arian now fulfilled, the Company can focus on its ongoing exploration programs and field work at its two key projects, Tepal and Libertad. During the past 3 months, the Company has conducted systematic geophysical (IP) surveys on both projects in preparation for expected drill programs. At Tepal, the IP survey covered a 15 square kilometre (”km”) area focused on the known resource zones and the additional core claim area. Results from this geophysical work are expected to assist in delineating drill targets in preparation for a drill program at Tepal designed to test the expansion potential of the known resource zones as well as multiple new target areas that have seen little or no prior drilling. With exploration programs ongoing, the Company is also progressing on multiple economic and technical studies at Tepal, including metallurgical studies designed to better understand the possible future economic viability of the project. We are pleased with our work to date and look forward to the commencement of drilling. We are also well advanced on the Libertad project field work (trenching and geophysics) and expect to have a drill plan design completed by the end of March.”

The Tepal project is a gold/copper porphyry geological system located in the northwest portion of Michoacan State, Mexico. Access and infrastructure are excellent, with paved roads, deep sea port access, and low topographical relief. The project is comprised of 6 concessions covering approximately 138 square kilometres. Please see the company website for the Tepal NI 43-101 resource details.

The Libertad Project is a gold/silver vein-stockwork system identified over 1.6 km strike distance that has had no previous drilling. The 160 square kilometre project is located in Sonora State, Mexico approximately 250 km north west of Hermosillo. Phase 1 trenching has been completed and mechanized trenching equipment is being brought in to expand the trenches. A 1.6 km by 1 km geophysical survey is 50% complete and final results are expected at the end of March. Drill testing will commence as soon as practical thereafter.

Massage Envy Receives Honor for 167 Massages Given at the Same
Time at Marine Corps Marathon

WASHINGTON — Massage Envy® has officially been awarded the new Guinness
World Record for the most people being massaged simultaneously
in one location. Massage Envy, the nation’s largest provider of
therapeutic massage, received its official letter and certificate from
The Guinness Book of World Records in late February, for its
record-breaking event at the 2009 Marine Corps Marathon (MCM).

On October 25th of 2009, 167 people were simultaneously
massaged at 11:45 a.m., just as they finished participating in the 34th
annual Marine Corps Marathon. The company set up a sea of tables at the
marathon’s Finish Festival in Rosslyn, Virginia, and collected hundreds
of massage therapists from all over the area for the event. The previous
world record for the most people being massaged at the same time was
154, set in London, England in 2007.

“We’re thrilled that Massage Envy now officially holds the new world
record,” said Regional Developer Eric Barton. He added that, “massage is
becoming more and more popular as a way to not only relax, but improve
health by lowering blood pressure and boosting the immune system. We’re
happy to have given that to the race participants, and we’re happy to
share this world-wide honor with the local community.”

“The Marine Corps Marathon is a world class event so it only makes sense
that it would host the world record effort by Massage Envy,” said Rick
Nealis, MCM Director. “Massage Envy has done an amazing job over the
past several years providing massage recovery service to thousands of
MCM runners in the Finish Festival.”

Streetwear company Wildchild Nation, LLC announces a new partnership with urban wrist watch maker, Flud Watches. Wildchild Nation will provide online distribution of Fluds collection of watches as part of Threader, the first online urban clothing marketplace for celebrities in the dance and entertainment industries.

Brand director, Mel Peralta, said, “Our brand continues to grow, and selling on Threader opens up a whole new market for us in the hip hop dance scene. Threader has relationships with everyone in the hip hop dance industry, so selling through their site to gain access to their audience was a logical choice.”

Wildchild Nation co-founder, Marc David, commented, “We looked at the brands on the site and those coming soon, and realized we needed to add a wrist wear accessory. Fluds watches, especially their signature boombox and turntable watches, complement the rest of the streetwear on Threader.”

Threader just launched a Facebook application that enables the brands on the site to promote their merchandise on their Facebook pages. Mr. David commented, “Their audience is already on Facebook. Instead of trying to drive customers to the Site, we knew it would be more effective to bring the Threader brands products to their customers directly.”

SALT LAKE CITY — Two bills that would help school districts financially during these troubled economic times passed through the House Education Committee Tuesday. HB295, by Rep. Ken Sumsion, R-American Fork, would allow school districts, for two years, to take the money reserved for building upkeep and repairs and use it for classrooms, including reducing class sizes, hiring teachers and buying computers. The bill passed unanimously. HB137, by Rep. Wayne Harper, R-West Jordan, would allow sales tax to fund education by raising it by one-tenth of 1 percent to net $41 million. The bill passed with two dissenting votes. Jordan School District Superintendent Barry Newbold said the fund flexibility bill would be a tremendous help to districts statewide which are facing shortfalls as a result of the depressed economy. The bill would be helpful to “everyone who is trying to weather that storm,” he said.
— Investment Bank Works with Multiple Constituencies To
Complete Transaction Valued at $31.3 Million –

NEW ORLEANS — Global Hunter Securities, a full service investment bank, today
announced it has successfully arranged an auction and sale of the assets
of Bender Shipbuilding Repair Co, Inc., which filed for protection
under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code in July of 2009. The winning bid
from Signal International of Mobile, Alabama, amounted to approximately
$31.3 million. Signal provides marine fabrication services in the Gulf
Coast region.

The assets principally consisted of approximately 40 acres of industrial
land, including 4,500 feet of waterfront on the Mobile River, and
shipyard equipment, including two floating dry docks, and other
associated real property. The sale was administered by the US Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of Alabama.

“We are pleased to have facilitated this complex transaction, which
brought outstanding value to the Bender Estate,” said Daniel O. Conwill
IV, chairman and chief executive officer of Global Hunter. “Unique to
this bankruptcy situation, multiple parties had to be satisfied,
including numerous secured lenders with various collateral, as well as
the committee for unsecured creditors.”

The New Orleans based law firm of Lugenbuhl, Wheaton, Peck, Rankin
Hubbard was debtor’s counsel for Bender Shipbuilding.

San West President and CEO Frank Drechsler commented, “We remain focused on enhancing the user experience for our customers in an ongoing effort to bolster our position as the one-stop destination for all things related to the off-road vehicle (ORV) market. CountyImports.com is the second-largest ORV dealer online and we expect to become no. 1 with regard to natural web traffic in the very near future. Our goal is to provide robust content, a personalized shopping experience, and a full featured website so we can secure additional market share and grow online sales.”

Mr. Drecshler added, “The website already attracts roughly 60,000 visitors per month and gains $10 in sales for every $0.75 spent on advertising. We expect web traffic to more than triple by this Summer and are already experiencing a substantial improvement to advertising efficiency as a direct result of our ongoing web development project and paid advertising overhaul. The impact of both strategic maneuvers has exceeded our lofty initial expectations and I look forward to updating the public about future improvements made to our online business.”

Complaint Alleges Automaker Equipped Cars Knowingly with Defective
Electronic Throttle Systems

MIAMI — Leading Coral Gables-based trial law firm Colson
Hicks Eidson filed a class action complaint in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern District of Florida on March 3rd on behalf of
Plaintiffs: Sharlene Cohen-Goldberg, Tiffany Jones, Thelma Reid and
other Florida and national class members and similarly situated
Plaintiffs against Defendants: Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.; Toyota
Motor Corporation and their affiliates, the firm announced today. The
complaint alleges the Defendants knowingly designed, manufactured,
distributed and sold certain automobiles equipped with the Electronic
Throttle Control System with Intelligence (ETCS-i) that is defective and
can cause sudden unintended acceleration (SUA) of the vehicle engine.

Lewis
S. “Mike” Eidson, founding partner at Colson Hicks Eidson, will
serve as lead counsel on behalf of the Plaintiffs. A nationally
recognized authority on automotive recalls, Eidson, at age 29, and his
partners, tried and won the first case alleging that the Ford Pinto
fuel system was defective. He was also involved in the Chrysler
Minivan latch case that led to the recall of 4 million vehicles, and
was national co-lead counsel in the Ford Explorer/ Firestone tire
litigation.

According to the suit, the Plaintiffs allege that Toyota and Lexus
vehicles equipped with the ETCS-i are defective and unsafe and are
susceptible to incidents of sudden unintended acceleration rendering
such vehicles uncontrollable. The Plaintiffs further allege that the
Defendants failed to incorporate important failsafe measures critical to
assisting a driver in maintaining control of the vehicle during a sudden
unintended acceleration event. One such failsafe measure is a computer
algorithm that will direct the ETCS-i to automatically reduce the engine
to idle when the brakes are being applied while the throttle is in an
unintended open position. This measure, also referred to as
“brake-to-idle” algorithm or simply “brake over-ride”, has been
incorporated by other automobile manufactures in vehicles designed with
electronic throttle control for years. According to the suit, brake
override will eliminate sudden unintended acceleration problems
regardless of the cause and many other manufacturers already incorporate
this feature in their vehicles. Toyota has announced that it will
incorporate brake override in its vehicles beginning with the 2011 model
year.

Since the introduction of ETCS-i, more than 2,600 complaints of sudden
unintended acceleration have been made to the Toyota Defendants and
government agencies. According to the suit, ETCS-i has resulted in
automobile accidents causing more than 34 deaths and hundreds of
accidents and injuries over the past decade and these numbers are likely
underreported. More than six million vehicles have been recalled by
Toyota.

Based on the study, which used an assumed benchmark average of $2.5 million per 30-seconds of Super Bowl in-game air time, Kia spent the lowest amount for every percent of market share gained at approximately $255,000 for its Sorento, with an average three week increase in share among car shoppers of 19.6 percent, the second highest increase in the study. Hyundai paid the second lowest amount of approximately $336,000 for every percent of market share gained for its Sonata, while experiencing the highest average three week increase of share among car shoppers at 22.3 percent. On the other hand, Audis market share among car shoppers dipped half a percent even after its approximated $5 million media buy.

Results of the model-specific Jumpstart analysis follow.

Kyriakoza, an automotive marketing and brand expert, says the Jumpstart analysis is intended to help auto marketers develop a greater understanding of how offline media, especially broad-reaching events like the Super Bowl, impact true shopping behavior and brand consideration.

Reko International Group Inc. (TSX: REK) today announced results for its second quarter ended January 31, 2010.

The gross loss for the three months ended January 31, 2010, was $0.6 million, or 7.0% of sales, compared to a gross profit of $3.9 million in the prior year. The significant decrease in gross profit over the prior year, of approximately $4.5 million, relates to an inability to secure sufficient sales to absorb overhead. The gross loss for the six months ended January 31, 2010 was $0.5 million, or 2.6% of sales, compared to a gross profit of $6.3 million, or 20.8% of sales, in the prior year.

Selling and administrative expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2010 were $1.6 million, or 17.9% of sales, compared to $2.3 million, or 14.4% of sales for the same period in the prior year. While the selling, general and administrative expenses declined 34%, year over year, they increased as a percentage of sales reflecting the abnormally low sales volumes experienced by Reko in the second quarter of the current year. Selling and administrative expenses for the six months ended January 31, 2010 were $3.0 million, or 16.8% of sales, compared to $3.9 million, 12.8% of sales, in the prior year.

Net loss for the quarter was $1.9 million or $0.29 per share, compared to income of $0.9 million, or $0.12 per share, in the same period of the prior year. Net loss for the six months ended January 31, 2010 was $3.0 million, or $0.47 per share, compared to income of $1.3 million, or $0.18 per share, in the same period of the prior year.

LOS ANGELES — Thomas Properties Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: TPGI) reported today the results
of operations for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2009.

“Last year was one of the most difficult ever for the real estate
industry and the impacts were felt across the board in all sectors,”
said James A. Thomas, Chairman and CEO. “Even in this environment, we
were able to increase cash flow as evidenced by improvements in the
fourth quarter, and we favorably restructured some of our debt and loan
terms to better position our properties for the future.”

The results of operations presented in this release include a
consolidated net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2009 of
$(7.7) million or $(0.30) per share compared to a consolidated net loss
of $(7.7) million or $(0.33) per share for the three months ended
December 31, 2008. The consolidated net loss for the year ended December
31, 2009 was $(21.6) million or $(0.86) per share compared to $(5.5)
million or $(0.24) per share for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Included in the consolidated net loss for the three and twelve months
ended December 31, 2009 are pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $4.4
million and $13.0 million, respectively, related to the Murano
condominium project, and $14.0 million and $16.0 million, respectively,
related to joint venture investments.

After tax cash flow (ATCF) for the three months ended December 31, 2009
was $2.5 million or $0.10 per share compared to after tax cash flow of
$0.5 million or $0.02 per share for the three months ended December 31,
2008. The increase in ATCF for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 over
the prior year period resulted from an increase in gains from sales of
condominium units at the Murano property and a reduction in interest
expense, partially offset by reductions in property net operating income
and net revenues from the investment advisory management, leasing and
development services business. ATCF for the twelve months ended December
31, 2009 was $8.2 million or $0.33 per share compared to ATCF of $22.5
million or $0.95 per share for the twelve months ended December 31,
2008. The reduction in ATCF for the year ended December 31, 2009
compared to the prior year primarily resulted from a decline in gains
from sales of condominium units at Murano and a reduction in property
net operating income. The Company defines ATCF (a non-GAAP financial
measure) as net income (loss) excluding the following items:
non-controlling interests, deferred income taxes, non-cash charges for
depreciation and amortization and asset impairment, amortization of loan
costs, non-cash compensation expense, straight-line rent adjustments,
adjustments to reflect the fair market value of rent, and gain from
extinguishment of debt. ATCF is further described in note (c) to the
financial statements below.

Thomas further stated, “We have accomplished a number of financing and
capital transactions, reducing our consolidated debt balances by $69.7
million at December 31, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008. Also,
subsequent to year end, we negotiated on behalf of the California State
Teachers Retirement System (CalSTRS), our partner in City National Plaza
in downtown Los Angeles, for CalSTRS to acquire all $219.1 million of
mezzanine debt on that property. CalSTRS will contribute this debt to
the partnership’s equity, reducing the leverage on the property from
$568.0 million to $348.9 million, all of which is first mortgage debt.
We are in discussions with CalSTRS to obtain an option to participate in
the loan purchase, on or after the maturity of the mezzanine debt, based
on our current pro rata share of 25% of the existing City National Plaza
equity. We are confident that the increased equity, together with the
property’s substantial cash reserves, will facilitate the refinancing of
the mortgage later in 2010.”

Chembio Diagnostics, Inc. (OTCBB: CEMI), which develops, manufactures, markets and licenses point-of-care diagnostic tests, reported its first yearly profit since its merger in May 2004. Total revenues were $13.83 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, which compares to total revenues of $11.05 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, a 25% increase. The Company recorded net income of approximately $309,000, or less than $0.01 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to a net loss of approximately $(1,949,000), or $(0.03) per share, for the year ended December 31, 2008. Total revenues were $3.55 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009, which compares to total revenues of $2.45 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008, a 45% increase. The Company recorded net income of approximately $217,000, or under $0.01 per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to a net loss of approximately $550,000, or $0.01 per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2008.

The operating results in 2009 include $5.24 million of revenues from the sale of rapid HIV tests to Inverness Medical Innovations, Inc., the Companys exclusive U.S. marketing partner for its two FDA approved rapid HIV tests. This represents an increase of $3.13 million, or 148%, compared to $2.11 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. Sales to Inverness in the fourth quarter of 2009 were $1.83 million, an increase of $1.29 million, or 238%, as compared to the fourth quarter in 2008. The Company also realized a record amount of revenues related to research development contracts and grants, which increased 93% to $1.34 million in the year ended December 31, 2009 from $694,000 in the year ended December 31 2008. Also included in our 2009 product sales was $619,500 of DPP® product sales, an increase of 392%, or $493,500, as compared to $126,000 in 2008. The 2009 results also reflect significant overhead reductions as compared with the year of 2008 when the Company initiated a series of cost reductions. The Company has nevertheless over the same period increased its research development expenses, as more products based on the Companys patented DPP® technology were validated for manufacture and entered the clinical evaluation and regulatory approval process.

Commenting on the results, Chembios President, Lawrence A. Siebert, stated, “We are very pleased with our 2009 results, which included strong growth in our base business of lateral flow HIV tests, and record revenue from research and development contracts and grants, which enabled us to increase our investment in our new DPP product pipeline. I believe we are very well positioned to deliver continued growth in 2010 and beyond, as the growth from our base business is accelerated from the commercialization of our new DPP® rapid, point of care products.”

new service contract with the State of Louisiana Office of Group

contract, effective July 1, 2010, covers approximately 225,000 members.

Catalyst Rx first began administering pharmacy benefits for OGB on July
1, 2004. “Catalyst Rx appreciates the opportunity to extend our
relationship with OGB and manage pharmacy benefits for the State of
Louisiana’s active and retired employees and their dependents,” said
David T. Blair, Chief Executive Officer of Catalyst Health Solutions.
“We remain firmly committed to building on our collaborative partnership
and driving the most care-effective, cost-effective solutions for the
State.” In 2008, Catalyst Rx and the OGB were the recipients of a
Pharmacy Benefit Management Institute (PBMI) Rx Benefit Innovation Award
for their physician outreach program that significantly increased the
prescribing and utilization of generic drugs, resulting in a three-year
savings of $28 million for the OGB.

OnePoint Patient Care, a national hospice pharmacy services provider, announced today the launch of OnePointRx, an advanced new online tool that helps hospices better manage their patients care by making terminal diagnosis-based reporting, individual patient dispensing data, detailed consultation notes and CoP compliance documentation more quickly and easily accessible than ever before while enabling them to manage their drug spend.

“We are thrilled to have designed a tool that offers hospices a level of customization and interactivity that better matches their unique day-to-day management needs, as well as their patient and therapy-level clinical needs,” said Jeffrey S. Hohl, president and chief operating officer of OnePoint Patient Care. “OnePoint Patient Care is proud to offer the ability to run custom reports and analytics not found in any other reporting system industry-wide.”

Today, most hospices do not receive dispensing-level patient data in a timely manner and are unable to see reports that are custom-designed to meet their unique needs. Instead, most pharmacy benefits managers (PBMs) provide hospices a standard suite of reports that have been developed over the years for the commercial health insurance market. With OnePointRx, hospices get customized dispensing-level patient data — and much more — in a timely and easily accessible manner. This allows physicians, nurses and other caregivers to assess not only a patients active drug regimen, but also their prescription fill history, so they can adequately assess compliance, manage outcomes, explore alternate drug therapies and reduce costs.

“We are always looking for new ways to help our hospice partners provide the highest quality care and comfort to their patients, so when we identified a huge gap in the reporting services hospices were receiving, we developed OnePointRx to fill it,” said James A. Otterbeck, chairman and chief executive officer of OnePoint Patient Care. “With OnePointRx, our hospice partners now have timely access to pharmacy and cost data that will allow them to make adjustments to patient treatments that can improve their care and reduce drug costs. OnePointRx is just the tip of the iceberg — we are exploring additional online services that will bring about further efficiencies for our hospice partners.”

OnePointRx provides access to a wide variety of reports, which are available around the clock from any web-enabled computer. The reports are designed to meet the needs of various constituencies that manage patients and hospice operations, including administrators, physicians and nurses. The reports include:

“Injuries among all types of athletes are on the rise, creating a real need for innovation in protective sports gear,” said Jack Kasarjian, CEO, XProTeX. “Specifically, hands and wrists are among the most vulnerable areas of the body and generally under-protected in all sports. XProTeX picks up where traditional batting gloves have left off by providing protection that enhances a players game without sacrificing performance.”

XProTeX is ushering in a new era of innovation, safety and protection to the sports of baseball and softball, with a goal of achieving a culture where sports participation includes education around injury awareness and prevention. Launched after 30 months of research, development and testing, the foundation of the XProTeX line of batting gloves is A.I.C. (Advanced Impact Composite), a patented material that provides a lightweight, flexible, and non-restrictive solution to body protection with increased impact resistance. XProTeXs A.I.C. also provides greater coverage of vulnerable body parts, which is key as athletes of all levels are currently under-protected in many vital areas, especially their hands and wrists.

“Being hit by a ball in the hand or wrist area has the potential to sideline a player with an injury for months or even entire seasons,” continued Kasarjian. “No athlete, from little league to major league, can afford to be injured and out of the game. Our goal is to better protect athletes; keeping them healthy and playing the sport they love.”

XProTeX chose to harness its A.I.C. technology for batting gloves as the first product in their line of advanced sports protection not only because the hands and wrists are currently under-protected in batting sports, but also because theyre one of the most complex parts of the body and one of the most susceptible to injury. Small bones, blood vessels, nerve endings and tendons lie just underneath the surface of the skin without much muscle or fat to cushion them from an impact.

More than 40 percent of baby boomers who have a living parent are helping with their care.* Whether health or financial problems, or literally “giving back,” millions of adults are assisting their parents with monetary support. Many also are raising children or supporting their Generation Y children, making them part of the sandwich generation.

The sandwich generation may find relief in the form of tax breaks. The $3,650 qualifying relative exemption can help buffer expenses related with supporting parents. Non-relative qualifying dependents also may allow supporters to claim expenses associated with their care. The eligible expenses include food, lodging, clothing, education, medical and dental care, recreation and transportation.

These are the dependent qualifications for claiming adults:

“These tax breaks can be especially welcome benefits for those raising children while supporting their parents,” said Amy McAnarney, executive director of The Tax Institute at HR Block (NYSE: HRB).
