Jamie Kennedy and Alphabird Partner to Launch Original Comedy Series on the Web
Jamie Kennedy became a household name in the 1990s, having starred in the first three chapters of the box office smash-hit “Scream” franchise, now considered classics by horror movie buffs. Several successful film and television appearances later, Kennedy secured his place as a unique comic talent, culminating in “The Jamie Kennedy Experiment,” a modern spin on elaborate practical joke programming pioneered by “Candid Camera.” “Kennedy’s Court,” produced and distributed by Alphabird Studios and Jamie Kennedy Entertainment, brings the popular format to audiences online. The series debuts today at http://www.KennedyCourtSeries.com.
Each episode takes place on a courtroom set in Glendale, CA, featuring actual small claims cases in need of deliberation. Kennedy vanishes into his role as one of four very different, yet equally demented, judges who oversee the proceedings only to turn the courtroom into a circus—unbeknownst to the plaintiff and defendant.
“This show establishes our presence in the industry as a creative house with top-tier production and talent, and further underscores our global reputation as an audience development leader,” said Chase Norlin, CEO of Alphabird.
The 25-episode series puts Kennedy among a rare set of entertainers who engage audiences across all forms of media, from the standup stage, to primetime television, to mainstream movies, and now the social Web.
“Jamie Kennedy’s vast talents are in abundance here and demonstrate his gift for improvisational comedy as well as his depth as a performer with each character he portrays,” said Russell Naftal, Alphabird’s SVP of Development and Programming. “When he puts on that makeup and takes on various accents and personalities he absolutely transforms.”
The first episodes of “Kennedy Court” are now available for viewing at http://www.KennedyCourtSeries.com.

DNS Made Easy Failover Service Saves over $242 Million in Lost Revenue During Q3 2012
DNS Made Easy (dnsmadeeasy.com), the leading IP anycast managed DNS service provider, has announced statistics on downtime prevention for its clients as a result of utilizing their DNS Failover and System Monitoring platform. The statistics were based on the months in Q3 2012.
The DNS Made Easy DNS Failover and System Monitoring service provides flexibility to its clients by providing many configuration options to suit user requirements. For example, once the primary system is detected as available after an event has been resolved, customers have the option to revert to the primary system automatically or lock the record in backup state so that changes may be made at the facility that suffered the outage before reverting back to normal operations.
DNS Made Easy states that all clients using their DNS Failover service must have redundant ("mirrored") hosting elsewhere to use the DNS Failover service. Optionally, if the clients do not have redundant systems of their own already, VPSit, a sister company of DNS Made Easy, provides virtual server solutions that can scale to the client’s needs. Also, clients that use the DNS Failover service must use the DNS Made Easy IP Anycast DNS service, which provides the foundation for the DNS Failover service. By utilizing DNS Failover and System Monitoring, DNS Made Easy customers can achieve a solid and cost effective solution to a historically difficult and costly problem.
In the three months of Q3 2012, the DNS Made Easy Failover service took action in response to 138,416 systems events. The downtime of the primary monitored systems ranged anywhere from 1 minute to as long as 8 days. With the use of the DNS Failover service, DNS Made Easy prevented 145,444 hours and 30 minutes of downtime during the months on Q3 2012.
In a survey done to 100 of DNS Made Easy’s clients the average amount of revenue saved from hosting downtime was $4,800. DNS Made Easy was able to take this statistic and extrapolate this to all clients that used their failover service during Q3 2012. The total savings was calculated as being over $242 million USD. This calculation did not account for the possible loss of brand recognition and loss of trust that is often associated with a websites service outage.
"Keeping online commerce functioning for our clients over this period was a crucial goal that all of our staff took very seriously. DNS Made Easy is the standard of IP Anycast DNS services and allows all companies and organizations of any size access to an affordable IP Anycast DNS Failover solution," stated Steven Job. "To miss out on even three hours of revenue would have been catastrophic for our clients during these numerous cloud failures. We are truly thankful and understand the trust that clients have in our company when they decide to use DNS Made Easy."
DNS Made Easy pricing is a fraction of the price charged by any valid competitors in the business offering comparable services. A study recently redone by Tiggee showed the ROI with DNS Made Easy over other IP Anycast providers.

Want More Sales? New Book Helps Sales Managers Unlock Hidden Sales Potential
When a company hits a sales slump, most look at the sales staff -- but that’s a mistake, says Steven Rosen, author of the new book 52 Sales Management Tips: The Sales Manager’s Success Guide (Amazon; Kindle $8.99). To achieve better results and retain top sales talent, Rosen advises investing resources into the proper training, support and coaching of sales managers instead. This short, easy to read book offers common-sense tips and advice to help anyone, from the owner of a small business to the sales manager overseeing billions of dollars of business, better manage those in the trenches to increase profitability.
Rosen is a top executive sales coach whose clients have included Fortune 100’s (including Novartis Pharmaceutical, Alcon), medium size businesses (including Red Rock Breweries) and even some select smaller businesses and charities for whom he helped grow the bottom line.
“Most sales managers are selected for management because they are excellent sales people but few are adequately prepared to help their sales team truly realize their potential,” said Rosen. “Just because they can do it for themselves doesn’t mean they know how to get the best out of others. This book helps the overworked and often under trained sales manager make immediate changes that will help their team achieve better sales.”
Featuring one tip for every week of the year, 52 Sales Management Tips is designed to help managers find it within themselves to address key issues so many struggle with, including how to more effectively coach their sales team, better manage their bosses, hire great sales STARS, drive sales performance, and manage different types of people.
“No complicated strategy, just actionable coaching tidbits that guide you to the right tool for the right situation at the right time…This book is a must for the sales management professional,” added William “Skip” Miller, author, ProActive Sales Management.
Steven Rosen is the founder and Chief Performance Officer (CPO) of STAR Results. Steven brings over 10 years of executive experience leading strategy and execution in the pharmaceutical and packaged goods sectors. He consults to a range of businesses, including Fortune 100’s, and was formerly VP Sales at Biovail Pharmaceuticals Inc. and VP Sales and Marketing at Alcon Canada.

HostingZoom Showcases New Shared Web Hosting Plans with New Website
HostingZoom (http://www.hostingzoom.com), a leading shared hosting, cloud hosting, and dedicated server hosting provider, announced today the launch of its redesigned website that helps customers find the services and support they need with ease. The company also revealed a new cPanel shared hosting service, ZoomMini, which is tailored specifically to the requirements and budgets of smaller businesses.
“As a team, we have spent the last few months closely examining our existing web hosting plans,” says Greg Landis, CEO at HostingZoom. “It is important that we are always moving forward and improving our services as much as possible. We realized that while our VirtualZoom cPanel hosting plan was a great way for customers to get plenty of disk space and bandwidth, some people were looking for a more affordable solution for just a single site. To serve this market, we are pleased to launch ZoomMini – a cPanel shared hosting service that offers the great features and control of VirtualZoom, but on a smaller scale.”
HostingZoom offers a wide range of cPanel hosting services, including flexible shared hosting plans for small- to medium-sized websites. Each plan is hosted on state-of-the-art SuperMicro servers, located in one of five data centers around the world. As a result, webmasters and their visitors can be assured of exceptional performance, with data stored where it is geographically most accessible.
The company’s flagship shared hosting service, VirtualZoom, offers 50 GB highly redundant RAID-10 disk space, along with 500 GB monthly bandwidth to support even the busiest websites. VirtualZoom is accompanied by the CloudLinux operating system (OS), which provides customers with a level of control and consistent performance on par with virtual private server (VPS) hosting. Now, HostingZoom has launched ZoomMini, a solution packed with the same great features as VirtualZoom, but with less disk space and bandwidth. With ZoomMini, customers can order a compact cPanel hosting plan that is suitable for smaller websites.
“It is not unusual for shared hosting providers to impress potential customers with large amounts of disk space and bandwidth,” says Landis. “But the reality is that many customers do not make use of their allocations. As a result, people pay for a service they do not really need. With ZoomMini, we have created a solution that keeps costs low, while providing more than enough power to support small and growing websites. We have also taken the time to improve service for our existing customers, particularly when it comes to our website. With a comprehensive redesign, visitors and customers can now find the information and support they need, faster than ever before.”
The new HostingZoom website uses a clean and clear layout to make information on every HostingZoom service easier to read and understand. The website includes useful comparison tables that let potential customers see different services head-to-head, using concise bullet points listing the most popular features of each plan. In addition to pre-sales information, the HostingZoom website includes an extensive collection of support materials, from a detailed knowledgebase, to video tutorials on getting started with your hosting plan. All of this information is tied together with intuitive navigation menus, including a persistent toolbar that gives customers instant access to their Client Dashboard from anywhere on the site. Together, these features make the new HostingZoom website easier to explore, as well as a vital source of assistance.
“We are very proud of our new website. Its style and content reflect what HostingZoom is all about,” says Landis. “The site includes practical information that existing and potential customers need, and nothing else. And the new HostingZoom website makes is easier than ever to learn about the different web hosting services we have available, and the features that make them so competitive.”
With a rapidly growing reputation for reliable, high-performance web hosting, HostingZoom continues to expand its range of cPanel hosting plans and improve service quality for every customer.

The designation recognizes that a percentage of the company’s sales, customer service and technical staff have achieved and maintained individual InfoComm Certification.
InfoComm awards individual Certification to audiovisual professionals who have demonstrated knowledge and comprehension of the science and technology used in communications including audio, video, display and systems. Technicians, engineers, designers, salespeople, customer service personnel, managers and executives are eligible to take the individual certification test.
“One of our key differentiators is our commitment to support a large number of highly skilled and certified employees who are focused on delivering quality to our clients,” states John Bailey, Whitlock’s Vice President of Systems Integration. “We are proud to support the professional growth of our employees, and to be recognized by InfoComm as a Diamond level AVSP for that commitment.”
“A CAVSP designation gives AV companies a competitive advantage in the marketplace,” said Randal A. Lemke, Ph.D., InfoComm International’s Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer. “Customers of audiovisual communications and presentation systems can be confident of professionalism and an aspiration to excellence when working with these companies that have invested in education and training to stay current on the latest AV technologies and techniques.”
The company-level CAVSP recognition program is the only such program available for the commercial audiovisual industry. In addition to confirming that a percentage of the company’s employees are InfoComm certified and have completed important coursework, the Diamond CAVSP designation means that Whitlock has agreed to comply with 10 Standards of Excellence developed in collaboration with industry experts to emphasize the best practices of audiovisual businesses.
The Standards of Excellence are a guidepost for audiovisual companies and professionals who place the customer first and offer quality audiovisual solutions. They include the commitment to provide complete customer satisfaction with audiovisual solutions that provide value to the client. They convey the importance that audiovisual solutions providers place on their own skills development through continuing education. They also cover the critical role that audiovisual professionals play as partners with IT specialists, architects, building managers and others.

Osteoporosis Not Just Disease of Elderly Says Former Olympian
Dr. McCormick, author of The Whole Body Approach to Osteoporosis (New Harbinger Publishing, 2009), was interviewed on the Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water radio talk show on September 17, 2012. He discussed his thoughts on diet, exercise and education to prevent bone density loss.
Osteoporosis, or loss of bone density, has long been considered a disease of the elderly. According to Chiropractic Physician and Iron Man athlete Keith McCormick, osteoporosis can occur at any age and may be caused by lifestyle choices or simply by genetics. Either way, according to Dr. McCormick, bone health is critical to overall health and should never be taken for granted.
Dr. McCormick explained to the host, Sharon Kleyne, that he is a former Olympic athlete who has been involved with extreme athletics for decades. At age 45, he experienced hip pain that was eventually diagnosed as osteoporosis, sometimes knows as “brittle bone disease.” As a chiropractic physician, he has since done considerable research on osteoporosis and still competes in iron man competitions.
“Bones have two major functions,” says Dr. McCormick, “they support the body and they are a reservoir of important nutrients, especially minerals. When people don’t eat properly, the body begins drawing down this mineral reservoir at the expense of bone density.”
For the first 25 years of human life, according to Dr. McCormick, the body builds bone mass. Then, from the mid-30’s on, people tend to very gradually lose bone (that’s why they get shorter). Certain activities in the first 20 years can influence bones as they grow (which is why Dr. McCormick doesn’t recommend weight lifting or toe dancing for children).
Dr. McCormick differentiates between “osteoblastic” bones cells (that build bone) and “osteoclastic” bone cells (that tear down bone). He notes that while bone loss is often attributed to calcium deficiency, that is only a small part of the picture. Bone loss can also be related to chronic inflammation (caused by body dehydration and many other factors) and by an overly acidic inner body pH (of 7.0 or less). Your inner body should have a lightly alkaline pH (greater than 7.0).
Sharon Kleyne noted that dehydration (insufficient body water) can cause both chronic inflammation and an acidic inner body. Dehydration is usually alleviated by drinking at least eight glasses of water daily. Since most drinking water is slightly alkaline, drinking it tends to make your body less acid.
Risk factors for osteoporosis, according to Dr. McCormick, include smoking, low weight, heavy alcohol consumption and excessive use of pain medication. However, 30 to 40 percent of osteoporosis patients have no apparent risk factors. There are also no real symptoms other then a tendency towards bone fractures (which can also have other causes). The best way to diagnosis osteoporosis is to have regular bone density tests after age 40 (which consists of a panel of several tests).
Dr. McCormick explained to Sharon Kleyne that the ideal defense against osteoporosis is to eat correctly in the first place.
A good bone health diet, according to Dr. McCormick, is a normally healthy, balanced diet. Milk and cheese, says Dr. McCormick, provides extra calcium but should be eaten in moderation because they are also very acidic, which is bad for bone health. In addition, cow milk can cause numerous allergies. More recommended calcium foods are fish, chicken and vegetables. Vitamin D is also important to bone health.
The best bone foods, says Dr, McCormick, are dark green leafy vegetables such as kale and chard (which are also good vision foods). Nutritional supplements are OK, but should never be a substitute for proper diet.
Sharon Kleyne’s interview with Keith McCormick was part of her show’s “Power of Water” theme because osteoporosis, like dry eye, is among the many diseases related to dehydration. The “osteoporosis solution,” like the Dry Eye Solution®, is to drink at least eight glasses of water a day (more is you are ill or in a hot or dry environment).
