			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The reception we received in Charlotte exceeded my expectations by a long shot, said a surprised Sharpe. A lot of the success has to do solely with the people we hired to run our office.</p>
<p>Recently, TheRelationshipCompany.com CEO Cameron Sharpe and Member Success head Amanda Bennett, sat down with their Charlotte Singles staff to answer some of the more frequently asked questions about the dating service and its place in the industry.</p>
<p>The reception we received in Charlotte exceeded my expectations by a long shot, said a surprised Sharpe. A lot of the success has to do solely with the people we hired to run our office. They are exceptional individuals who not only take the time to listen to our clients, they take a personnel interest in their social lives as well.</p>
<p>Recently, two members of Charlotte Singles announced their engagement. It was a thrilling moment for the Charlotte office, says Sharpe.</p>
<p>TheRelationshipCompany.com Charlotte member success team was instrumental in getting these two lost souls together, said Sharpe. They met at one of our social events, hit it off, and were constant companions after that. The girls were thrilled to get the phone call announcing the engagement, and were especially pleased they were singled out for their role in bringing the two together.</p>
<p>We are  passionate about creating a company that is focused on being of maximum service to you.  Every decision we make is based on how we can provide a better service and experience for you.  It&#8217;s a work in progress, but I am confident that we will get there</p>
<p>Easter is a time to enjoy friendships, family and the relationships that matter most.  We wish you a very Happy Easter and look forward working with you soon!</p>
<p>Communication is also one of the most important thing in relationship. Often we don&#8217;t share our feelings with our partner/spouse for the fear of hurting them and some times we may avoid speaking our mind in order to avoid an argument. Continuation of this kind of behavior has the potential to destroy a relationship. Not sharing your feelings will lead to simmering resentment within you and the other person will continue with their life without even realizing that their behavior is hurting you. The result can be an explosion of bottled up emotions, leaving your partner bewildered and deeply hurt. Open channels of communication are therefore vital for the health of any relationship and remember communication need not always be in an argumentative tone or a high pitched voice. It’s important to keep your ego aside and communicate your feelings in a loving manner, in order to save yourself and your loved one from pointless hurt.</p>
<p>When asked how TheRelationshipCompany.com is stands out in the now crowded dating industry, he had the following to add:</p>
<p>Therelationshipcompany.com brings single men and women together in a safe online environment providing the ability to meet quality Single men and women for friendship, fun, dating and companionship. The Relationship Company performs extensive back ground checks on all of its members to make sure they do not have a criminal record or any violent felonies to their name.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div align="justify">
<p>If you need a refinance home loan then there are  certain things that you are going to need to know, and there are also certain  requirements to make certain that you can qualify for any type of refinance  loans out there. Getting yourself a refinance on your home is a fairly common  thing in today&#8217;s world, but not without its risks, and many of those home  buyers don&#8217;t really understand the process of refinancing or know what it can  do for them.</p>
<p>The first thing that you are  going to need for a <strong><a title="mortgage refinance" href="http://www.refinanceitt.com/">mortgage refinance</a> loan</strong> with bad  credit is going to be some sort of equity in order to put up against the loan.  If you happen to have some equity built up in your home then you are going to  find yourself immediately better qualified for a refinance home loan. A bad credit home mortgage refinance loan  is simply put, a loan to pay off your old mortgage and a new loan that provides  you with lower interest rates and lower monthly payments that are easier to  manage. If you have equity built up into your home, then you might get some  cash back which you can use for closing costs and the like, or to make a  purchase or remodel your home.</p>
<p>Believe it or not, a lot of  people do refinance for remodeling. To get yourself a <strong><a title="mortgage refinancing" href="http://www.refinanceitt.com/">mortgage refinancing</a> </strong>loan with bad credit it can then be used for anything from remodeling to paying for  your children&#8217;s schooling, or to even just add a new room for a new child.  Also, a lot of people will choose a line of credit vs. refinance loan, usually  because they have the cash available, but they do not always have a use for it  right away, whereas with a home equity loan, you will simply get a check and it  goes into your bank account directly.</p>
<p>Whether you decide to go with a  line of credit based upon your home equity or <strong><a title="refinance  home loans" href="http://www.refinanceitt.com/home-refinance-loan.php">refinance  home loans</a></strong> instead, you may decide to use the money to remodel before a  sale. This is also a very common thing to occur as a remodel can help you add  quite a bit of value before the sale. You could even add some extra rooms if  you wanted, since adding an extra bedroom or another bathroom could also go  about adding quite a bit of worth to your home.</p>
<p>Using the refinance home mortgage loan for this purpose is a very smart idea,  because you will not know exactly how much that you are going to spend on the  remodeling. If you do have a line of credit available to you as a result of the  refinance, and you do not use it all for the remodeling, then you have the  ability to save interest on the money that you did not use, whereas a home  equity loan is something that you have already taken out and are going to have  to pay the interest back on.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="style1">
<p>Maybe you thought about home mortgage refinance loans but where not sure  how or where to begin the process. Maybe  the thought of the words finance or refinance took you back to a place you  do not care to remember, your first mortgage application for instance. Home refinance is often a wise and financially prudent  decision. The recent recession may have  slowed the mortgage business, but there are mortgage lenders who can still  offer you good rates on a home<strong> <a title="mortgage refinance" href="http://www.refinanceitt.com/">mortgage refinance</a></strong> loan. Think about these facts:</p>
<p>Refinance home loans will leave you with extra money at the end of the month</p>
<p>Was your mortgage interest rate higher than the current rate? If interest rates are lower now your mortgage  payments will decrease. If your mortgage  payments decrease you will have more available cash for other expenses. Think of what you could afford, save, or pay  down with that extra money. However,  this scenario does to consider costlier options such as borrowing more money  when you do <strong><a title="mortgage refinancing" href="http://www.refinanceitt.com/">mortgage refinancing</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Mortgage  Refinancing can Get You Access to the Equity in Your House now</p>
<p>Has your house appreciated in value since you bought it? If it has appreciated you have more equity in  your home than when you bought it making it easier to negotiate with the lender  to get some of that equity back in the refinance. This is another way to free up your  capital. Remember that tapping home  equity for expenses is likely to have a very different effect to your finances  than using equity to make further investments or simply leaving it in your home.</p>
<p>Home Refinance can bring peace of mind</p>
<p>Even if you refinance your house with a low fixed rate or a low variable  rate knowing you made a final decision is often a relief. The process will be concluded and you know  your interest rates are low.</p>
<p>A <strong><a title="Home Refinance  Mortgage Loan" href="http://www.refinanceitt.com/home-refinance-loan.php">Home Refinance  Mortgage Loan</a></strong> could allow you to restructure all your loans</p>
<p>Do you have credit card debt or an equity line on your mortgage? Home refinance may save you money each month and help you on  your taxes. If you elect to refinance  debt you must be careful not to reacquire the same types of debt later on. In other words, your financial habits will  need to change.</p>
<p>Home refinance can enable you to make your dreams reality</p>
<p>Many home owners find refinancing allows them great freedom with the  extra money they have and the options that come with that money. They may take the savings and pay down the  principal on their mortgages. The key to financial success in this area is  acting like the extra money you are saving is not really there. Pay down other debt or invest the money. Either way, you the homeowner are coming out  on top by letting home  refinance work for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div align="justify">The prevalence of property owners looking into <strong><a href="http://www.refinanceitt.com/mortgage-loan-modification.php">mortgage loan modification</a></strong> is no surprise when you consider the country&#8217;s history. This venue has been the focus of some really big development plans. Over the past 50 years, the U.S. has transformed itself into a prime locale for resorts of all types.</p>
<p>This bubble of growth has brought wealth and prosperity to the country. Of course, after every boom comes a reversal of fortunes. Right now, real estate values are seriously depressed. The recession has made this situation even worse. Property owners are scrambling to make their monthly loan payments. Many people are turning to mortgage loan modification specialists to assist them with renegotiating their mortgage terms and get a loan modification. This is a smart move since the process of modify mortgage is often far from simple.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, some <strong><a href="http://www.refinanceitt.com/loan-modification/">Loan Modification Programs</a></strong> don&#8217;t deliver what they promise. Many people are disappointed when they retain the services of Loan Modification Programs with individuals who don&#8217;t have real qualifications. This happens more frequently than you might suppose. Surprisingly, anyone can advertise him/herself as a loan modification specialist. There is no certification or licensing process that a person must go through to offer such services. Mortgage Loan Modification is unregulated.</p>
<p>Loans (including mortgages) are a type of private contract. They bind two or more entities or individuals to the terms that are agreed to in writing. When the parties agree to change the terms of a contract, there is often a great deal of negotiation involved. This is especially true if one party or the other stands to lose something by a loan modification.</p>
<p>If you want a loan modification to create terms that are favorable to you, the lender may be resistant. This doesn&#8217;t always happen during the modify mortgage process, but it is a fairly common situation. With so much potential for conflict, you may well be looking for a representative from one of the Loan Modification Programs in a mortgage loan modification.</p>
<p>However, if you pick the wrong company, this can hurt you more than it helps. Just because an agency claims to be able to protect you from foreclosure doesn&#8217;t mean they can make good on their promise. This is especially true if your representative has little or no actual experience with real estate or contract law. Do you want to find out by having them fail? If they do, you are the one who is left with a loan you can&#8217;t pay. Your mortgage loan modification specialist won&#8217;t be held responsible for making that monthly payment &#8211; you will.</p>
<p>Losing your home because your <strong><a href="http://www.refinanceitt.com/mortgage-loan-modification.php">mortgage modification</a></strong> is botched is the worst case scenario. You simply can&#8217;t afford to hire someone who has no professional credentials. Fortunately, there is one good way to tell if someone is qualified to help you with your loan. Attorneys are licensed professionals who have gone through rigorous schooling to achieve a high level of knowledge. If you select an experienced loan modification lawyer with a good track record, you can rest assured that your home is in good hands.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Penguin Books and Financial Times owner Pearson has predicted a rise in profit  this year, after beating forecasts for 2009.</p>
<p><a href="http://associate-press.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/ft.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-824" title="ft" src="http://associate-press.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/ft-300x168.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="168" /></a></p>
<p>The British group said conditions had been tough in their markets of  educational publishing, financial advertising and consumer books &#8211; but added  that these had begun to ease by the end of the year.</p>
<p>Pearson invested a record £335m last year as it took advantage of the poor  economic climate, which weighed hard on its rivals.</p>
<p>The company said it grew its market share and improved its digital products,  which now account for 31% of total sales. Meanwhile, it saw its underlying sales  and profit grow by 2%.</p>
<p>Marjorie Scardino, chief executive, said: &#8220;We seized the big opportunity to  take share in a tough climate, and we increased sales and profits while  investing heavily in the future.</p>
<p>&#8220;We’re ready to keep growing, because we’re the leader in dynamic markets  where there is great demand for learning, skills and information.&#8221;</p>
<p>Pearson said its North American education publishing arm, which is the  company&#8217;s biggest business with annual sales of £2.5bn, enjoyed strong growth  during the year.</p>
<p>That helped it overcome tougher conditions for FT Group and Penguin, where  profits fell by 4% to £187m and 10% to £84m respectively.</p>
<p>The group said advertising remained were &#8220;highly unpredictable&#8221; but that it  expected to see some stabilisation at its FT Publishing division after the sharp  declines across the industry in 2009.</p>
<p>Advertising revenue from the FT newspaper and the company&#8217;s 50% in the  Economist magazine, now account for less than 3% of Pearson&#8217;s total  turnover.</p>
<p>Pearson&#8217;s 2009 earnings were also boosted by the strength of the US dollar  against the British pound as the group generates 60% of its sales in dollars.</p>

<p>CALABASAS, CA –<strong>Fuel Doctor’s FD-47</strong> will significantly change the rate of fuel consumption for consumers, saving them money and the environment one car at a time.  The FD-47’s cutting-edge technology increases fuel economy and decreases the CO2 released into the environment.  <strong>Fuel Doctor</strong> has officially joined the ranks of new companies using science and technology to effectively lessen environmental damage; while saving money for the consumer.</p>
<p>The process is simple; <strong>Fuel Doctor’s FD-47</strong> is an electronic filter for the Voltage/Current Regulator and Power Systems that stabilizes the voltages running through the Electrical Control Unit (ECU) of a motor vehicle, which controls the injection system, timing control, fuel pump, speed and temperature of the engine. The unit is plugged into the front lighter/power socket where it absorbs and filters the excess noise generated from sources of electrical interference such as fans, air conditioning, audio devices, lights, and corroded or weakened grounds. These interferences prevent the ECU from achieving optimal performance and result in additional fuel consumption.  The FD-47 achieves filtered and clean power for the vehicle’s electrical systems, thereby creating more energy, requiring less fuel, and releasing fewer emissions into the environment.</p>
<p>While on a business trip in Asia, Mark Soffa, CEO of Fuel Doctor, was introduced by a business associate to an item they hailed as “the greatest thing in the world and actually saves gas.” Soffa decided to conduct his own preliminary test, and brought it to a Combustion Engineer in Detroit.  Soon after, Soffa received an urgent voice mail stating the test showed 22% more fuel efficiency, and he should do whatever it took to bring the product to the United States. Not one to rush into anything, he decided to put the product through months of rigorous testing with AAA, Bosch, CARB (California Air Resource Board) and KETT Engineering because he says, “I am very concerned with reputation, integrity, truth, and accuracy – we are in this for the long-term.”</p>
<p>The results were even better than expected.  The device was found to increase power, improve firing, reduce emission, and ensure that fuel runs at its optimal state.  To the consumer, this translates to less money at the gas pump (an average of $7 per fill-up, depending on type of car and gas prices), and less CO2 released into the environment.  In fact, the Fuel Doctor’s FD-47 can save thousands of pounds of CO2 per driver, per year, which means that for roughly every ten FD-47 users, an entire car is taken off the road.</p>
<p>At that time, Soffa and his partners realized the enthusiastic response they would receive by product available in the U.S. “Through my promotion and import business, I started to see a constant demand for green products”, he explains, “I soon realized this was the business of the                                                                                   -more-</p>
<p>FUEL DOCTOR PG 2</p>
<p>future and I wanted to be part of it.” In September of 2009, Soffa used his production-trained eye to give the product a more stylish look and feel, and launched the FD-47 in October directly through the Fuel Doctor website as well as the popular mid-west company Heartland America.  Two-weeks later, Heartland America asked him to triple the order and move the next shipment up due to their high-demand. Since that time, thousands of FD-47 units have been sold, and Soffa has personally spoken to a majority of the customers himself, as he wants to hear their feedback directly.</p>
<p>Last week, Fuel Doctor shipped a major group of orders to one of the largest electronic retailers in the world, who will be officially launching the FD-47 at the end of the month.</p>
<p>The Fuel Doctor products are available for purchase online at <a href="http://www.fuel-doctor.com/">www.fueldoctorusa.com</a> or by calling 1.877.512.FUEL.</p>

<p><em>Rick Ware Racing Rookie Driver Prepares to Take Atlanta 200 in his Fuel Doctor #47 Truck</em><strong> </strong></p>
<p>ATLANTA, GA – March 1<sup>st</sup>, 2010 – After an impressive race at Daytona in The NextEra Energy Resources 250 in his Fuel Doctor #47 truck, Brett Butler has undeniably hit his stride in the racing world.  Now Butler heads home to Atlanta and prepares to go up against champions like Ted Musgrave, Kyle Busch and Mike Skinner in the Atlanta 200 on March 6<sup>th</sup>, 2010.</p>
<p>Butler is excited to be in his hometown but continues to stay focused on the race ahead, of his strategy to winning the upcoming Atlanta 200 he says “Flying under the radar has always been my style.”  With the lead in the ‘Rookie of the Year’ points, Butler is ecstatic to be in Atlanta but acknowledges fellow “Rookie of the Year” contender and Bass Pro Shops driver Austin Dillion.  This race is a big one for both Brett Butler and Bass Pro Shops as both consider Atlanta their hometown.  “This is his sponsor’s backyard as well, you know” stated Butler.  “It is nice to not have all the pressure that he must have, the high profile sponsor and paint scheme, not to mention the name and number everyone expects to be at the front” he continued.</p>
<p>Butler will be racing in The Fuel Doctor’s ‘Green Machine’ again after his solid performance at Daytona, “This is a great truck we are taking to Atlanta.  I raced this same truck at Homestead in my debut for Rick Ware Racing and Fuel Doctor USA in 2009” said Butler.  “The Earnhardt-Childress Engine is extremely stout and that’s what you need here and with my crew chief Gary Cogswell and the ‘Green Team’ setting up and tweaking this hot rod, I feel a happy homecoming could be in order” Butler continued with a big grin.</p>
<p>Placing 11<sup>th</sup> in the season opener at Daytona and honored with the Raybestos “Rookie of the Race” award, on-lookers were in awe of Butler’s level of skill for his first time on a superspeedway in the Nextera Energy Resources 250 at Daytona.  A part of the Rick Ware Racing team, Brett drove in his ‘Fuel Doctor: Go Green Machine” in a race that marked his career high in NASCAR. “I feel really great about our performance at Daytona, and to now race at Atlanta, my home track, I think we can back that up” stated Butler.  “I know my fellow rookie competitors, Austin (Dillon), Justin (Lofton) and Jennifer (Jo Cobb) will be on the attack after the bad luck that hit them at Daytona” Butler predicted.  “But our Fuel Doctor USA team is up for the challenge” he continued.</p>
<p>Born and raised in Snellville, Georgia, Butler has been racing since the age of fifteen and has worked his way from go-carts to NASCAR’s Camping World Truck Series in less than ten years.  Last year, Butler raced in the ARCA series at Daytona placing 39th.   The younger brother of Ken Butler III, Butler has often been over looked by NASCAR fans, but is quickly making a name for himself  as he sets his sights on conquering NASCAR’s Camping World Truck Series 2010 season.  Bulter enjoys flying under the radar, “I’m not a household name, Fuel Doctor USA and the #47 don’t have the historic background and it’s not what we’re about either” he explained.  “We are here to race hard and educate fans and consumers about saving fuel, money and the environment.  That’s just as important to many during this economy and in this environmentally conscious generation, and if we can run at the front again, well that’s a homecoming gift I will cherish for a very long time.”</p>
<p>Just embarking on his NASCAR journey, Butler is prepared for the hectic schedule and traveling for nearly 30 weeks a year, explaining that “It’s always good to race in your own backyard. To eat dinner at your own house and sleep in your own bed is something that most NASCAR drivers and team members never get a chance to do.”  Butler plans to take full advantage of spending quality time with his family and team in Atlanta before he goes back on the road and heads to Martinsville.</p>
<p>Currently Brett is leading in points for this year’s Rookie of the Year championship. In his first year in the 2010 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, Butler is scheduled for 12 races. Brett Butler in the Fuel Doctor #47 truck can be seen at The Atlanta 200, which will air on March 6<sup>th</sup>, 2010 at 2:00 pm EST on The Speed Channel.  Follow Brett Butler on Twitter at @brettcbutler.  To learn more about Fuel Doctor USA visit <a href="http://www.fueldoctorusa.com/">www.fueldoctorusa.com</a> and follow on Twitter @FuelDoctorUSA .

<p><em>Miami Luxury Waterfront Realtor of Toni&amp;Techrin Closes Two Magnificent Properties including Star Island Within the First Quarter of 2010</em></p>
<p>MIAMI – March 1<sup>st</sup>, 2010 – Despite a challenging market, Toni Schrager and Techrin Hijazi of the Miami luxury waterfront realtor duo Toni&amp;Techrin has a remarkable success story in the residential real estate market of South Florida.  In a mere two months, Techrin has closed two significant deals including a $7.25 million dollar spread on the celebrity spotted Star Island.  Preparing for an excellent 2010, Toni&amp;Techrin are excited for what’s to come.</p>
<p>Techrin has recently closed a Star Island listing within a month of it being on the market. The property, 44 Star Island Drive, boasts 220 feet of prime waterfront property in a private access community home to many celebrities including Gloria Estefan, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Phil Frost, and 44 Star’s neighbor, Rosie O’Donnell.  This closing marks the second time in less than three years Techrin has made a sale on Star Island, a sale of the same property nonetheless.  In 2008, Techrin closed 44 Star Island Drive on behalf of the seller.  Then in January 2010, the former owner, Dr. Cem Kinay, came to his long time realtor, Techrin, to relist the property.  In little more than 30 days, Techrin has brought both seller, Dr. Kinay, and buyer, Shay Kostiner, together in a $7.25M deal.</p>
<p>To make a sale on Star Island in the current market and in such a short time is an extraordinary accomplishment.  “Techrin is this force of nature, with so much drive and determination, she’s done just an amazing job bringing the right buyer and seller together” said partner, Toni Schrager.</p>
<p>Another remarkable fete, Techrin sold within the first week of the new year, a stunning ocean view condo at the famed Santa Maria located at 1643 Brickell Avenue, on behalf of seller Patricia Conrad.  The residence sold for $2.7 million.</p>
<p>According to the most recent sales report from the Southeast Florida Regional Multiple Listing, Techrin ranks fifth in All Residential Sales by Dollar Volume in Miami-Dade County for the month of January without counting this latest sale of Star Island.  Up next, Toni and Techrin are just steps away from closing 7270 West Lago Drive in the highly sought after area of Cocoplum in Coral Gables.  Working with the seller, Sergio Pino, Toni and Techrin have Pino’s waterfront estate under contract, pending a close in the next two weeks.</p>
<p>Toni&amp;Techrin have some of the most sought after listings in the area currently including 3301 S. Moorings Way and 40 Palm Avenue on Palm Island.  To learn more call Toni&amp;Techrin at 305.669.7980 or 305.815.4655 email them at <a href="mailto:toni@tonischrager.com">toni@tonischrager.com</a> or <a href="mailto:techrin@techrinestates.com">techrin@techrinestates.com</a>, or visit <a href="http://www.toni&amp;techrin.com/">www.toni&amp;techrin.com</a> to view their latest listings.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Aid pledges are pouring into Chile from around the world after the government  appealed for international help as the death toll from a devastating earthquake  reached 723.</p>
<p>Outgoing president Michelle Bachelet has requested mobile bridges, field hospitals, satellite phones, electrical generators, disaster assessment and co-ordination teams, water purification systems and field kitchens, UN officials say.</p>
<p>Some two million Chileans are estimated to have been affected by Saturday&#8217;s massive tremor and the tsunamis that followed.</p>
<p>The quake, the most powerful to hit the nation in 50 years, sent shockwaves out from the epicentre 70 miles from Chile&#8217;s second city, Concepcion.</p>
<p>Buildings and roads collapsed and 500,000 homes have been left severely damaged.</p>
<p>Six aid workers died when a plane carrying them to Concepcion crashed.</p>
<p>The team was on its way to help organise accommodation for those left homeless by the disaster.</p>
