Northeastern University Announces Date for the 2009 Massachusetts Family Business of the Year Awards

BOSTON, January 26 — Northeastern University is pleased to announce that the 3rd annual Massachusetts Family Business of the Year Awards program will be held on April 29, 2009.

The awards program created two years ago in a partnership between Northeastern University’s Center for Family Business and The Family Firm Institute New England Chapter, promotes and highlights some of the great achievements of Massachusetts-based, family-owned businesses and entrepreneurs.

Northeastern University Dean Thomas Moore notes, “Given that family businesses create 78% of all new jobs, it seems more appropriate than ever in these tough economic times to acknowledge and support family businesses. Family businesses are an important economic engine of the Commonwealth. They account for 60% of total U.S. employment and with all the long-term contributions that family firms deliver to their employees, the economy, and the Commonwealth, it seems fitting to highlight and recognize their achievements and success.

Doug Baumoel, president of The Family Firm Institute, New England Chapter said, “Family business are key to an economic recovery. Through the ups and downs of economic cycles, family businesses endeavor to support their families, employees and their communities. It’s exciting that Northeastern University is continuing their Awards program as we believe that it is important to recognize family businesses for what they do.”

“With prior Award winners including Bernie & Phyl’s Furniture, Avedis Zildjian Co., and New England Coffee, this is an opportunity for family businesses, large and small, to be in good company”, adds Dean Moore.

Nominations and applications are currently being accepted for entry into this year’s competition and are available on-line at www.mafba.com.

Any Massachusetts-based, family-owned business that includes or included more than one generation is eligible for the award. There are three award categories: companies with less than 50 employees, 50-250 employees, and for businesses with more than 250 full-time employees. The awards will be presented at Northeastern University’s Henderson House in Weston, MA on April 29, 2009. The deadline for applications is March 27, 2009. Award winners will be chosen by a panel of independent judges comprised of industry experts, academicians, and peers, and will be evaluated based on:

— Dynamic contributions to community and industry, and

Pizzavito™ Announces Franchise Development Deals

Gainesville, FL â€“ January 23, 2009 â€“ PizzaVitoâ„¢ is opening the doors to its first location on January 28, 2009 in Gainesville, Florida and has franchise development deals signed to begin expanding immediately.Â PizzaVitoâ€™s first store is located at 3411 SW Archer Rd., Suite A, adjacent to the University of Florida campus.

The most recent franchise development agreements include a 25-store deal, with the option for 15 more, to open throughout Florida and a five-store deal to also open in various locations throughout Florida.Â The projected build-out for the first location of the five-store deal is scheduled for February 2009.Â In addition, there is also a deal in place for ten PizzaVito locations to open in 2009 throughout the metro-Atlanta area.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â â€œPizza has been a family business for us for nearly half a century,â€ said Joe DiBartolo, CEO and Founder of PizzaVitoâ„¢.Â â€œFrom Italy to New York to the South, we pride ourselves in making real New York style pizza.Â The opening of our first PizzaVitoâ„¢ franchise store marks a milestone in the family business and we are excited to be able to continue offering customers the unique pizza taste of the Big Apple.â€

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â PizzaVitoâ„¢ is a restaurant franchise concept that specializes in real New York pizza.Â For more than forty years Vito DiBartolo, namesake and co-founder of PizzaVitoâ„¢, has been opening pizzerias and making the neighborhoodâ€™s favorite pizza.Â From his first pizzeria in Queens in 1966 to his wildly successful pizzerias all over New York and throughout the South, people love his authentic pizza everywhere he goes.

Â Â

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Vito attributes his pizzaâ€™s authenticity to the freshest ingredients and over 40-year old family dough and sauce recipes.Â PizzaVitoâ„¢ uses 100% whole milk mozzarella and the dough is made in New York using the cityâ€™s legendary water, then shipped to PizzaVitoâ„¢ twice a week.Â The homemade sauce is made using tomatoes from one of the countryâ€™s best tomato farms in California.Â In addition, PizzaVitoâ„¢ uses state-of-the-art equipment, including pizza ovens from Marsal & Sons, a dough press by Cuppone, and an advanced touch screen system by InTouch POSÂ®.Â PizzaVitoâ€™s real estate is being handled by Barrister Realty, who also represents Starbucks Coffee, Five Guys Burger & Fries, and Alltel Wireless.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â In February 2008, PizzaVitoâ„¢ selected The Titan Agency, one of the fastest growing agencies in the Southeast, as its Agency of Record to provide branding, marketing and advertising tools to PizzaVitoâ„¢ and its franchise stores.Â Recently, Titan unveiled â€œThe World According to Vitoâ€ campaign for PizzaVitoâ„¢, which centers on the unique personality of Vito.Â Included in the marketing program are professionally designed and produced in-store marketing materials, print, television, radio and online initiatives.Â

Â Â

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â â€œThe PizzaVitoâ„¢ concept was drawn up on a napkin while we sat around a table eating pizza Vito had made,â€ said Tony DeMartino, CEO of Titan.Â â€œComing up with The World According to Vito campaign idea was even easier.Â Anyone who has ever met Vito DiBartolo knows what a fun-loving and truly unique personality he has, and we wanted his iconic character reflected through the branding.â€

PizzaVitoâ„¢, headquartered in Gainesville, Florida, is a family-friendly pizzeria that offers real New York pizza and Italian ices.Â Its New York-inspired menu offers dine-in, delivery and Take and Bake pizzas made with quality ingredients preserving the mouthwatering flavors that made The Big Apple famous.Â PizzaVitoâ„¢ sells pizza by the slice or pie, calzones, strombolis, garlic knots, Italian seasoned potato wedges, and Italian ice.Â PizzaVitoâ„¢ is open from Sun-Thurs, 11am-11pm, and Fri-Sat, 11am-3am.Â

Maryville Announces $1.6 Million Gift of Land, Property

Maryville Announces .6 Million Gift of Land, Property

St. Louis – Maryville University has announced the generous gift of land and property from Dick and Cheryl McKinley of Augusta, Mo. The McKinleys’ donation includes 92 acres of rolling hills, along with two residences and a small cabin. Located off Highway 94 to the east of Augusta, the property is just below Montelle Winery on a steep hill known as Klondike. Valued over .6 million, the gift will greatly enhance the University’s academic programs, said Maryville President Mark Lombardi.

“We are very excited about the many learning opportunities this gift will provide for Maryville University students,” Lombardi said. “Our faculty members are already making plans to use the land across a number of disciplines, including biological, botanical and geological research, as well as astronomy studies.”

Offering an abundance of natural beauty, the property features a lake, a pond, sandstone ledges, both cultivated and wooded acreage and natural springs. It was purchased in the 1960s by Frank Schwaiger and his wife, Trudi Schwaiger, parents of Cheryl McKinley. The Schwaigers immigrated to St. Louis in the 1930s, when Mr. Schwaiger was hired as head brewmaster at Anheuser-Busch Brewery. He was only 29 years old at the time.

To honor their heritage, the Schwaigers built the main house, designed primarily by Mrs. Schwaiger, an artisan and educator, in the style of a Bavarian chalet. Used for many years as a family vacation home, the surrounding property is adjacent to land now owned by St. Louis architect Frank Schwaiger, Mrs. McKinley’s brother, who has granted a walking easement to Maryville.

“I have happy memories of this place.” Mrs. McKinley said. “My family worked hard during the week and as soon as possible we’d go out to the country to relax. By Sunday afternoon when we packed up to leave, we felt a complete sense of renewal.”

Since 1991, the property has been used as a retreat center for F.R.E.S.H. Renewal Center, a non-profit organization founded by the McKinleys. Cheryl has an advanced degree in theology from United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities and is a pastoral caregiver, while her husband Dick, a physician, is a Fellow of the American Society of Addiction Medicine. F.R.E.S.H. stands for Fellowship Renewing Experience, Strength and Hope. Its mission is to serve all spiritual seekers and at the center in Augusta, specialized in ministry to individuals and small groups.

The chalet will continue to be used as a retreat center for faculty, staff, students and alumni groups within the Maryville community, said Tom Eschen, vice president for Institutional Advancement.

“While students will find tremendous value in using the property as an outdoor classroom experience, we also hope to engage focus groups, planning committees, think tanks, alumni boards, and other small and large groups in activities designed to take advantage of such restful surroundings just 30 minutes from St. Louis,” Eschen said.

The McKinleys are pleased that the University plans to keep the property intact as it becomes integrated into the life of the Maryville community.

“When I decided it was time to let this part of my life go, finding the right persons to steward the land became important. We’ve received a lot of cooperation from Maryville,” Mrs. McKinley said. “I hope the University will begin to use it quickly and with great joy.”

Maryville University, founded in 1872, is a four-year, private university located in west St. Louis County. Ranked by U.S. News & World Report as one of America’s Best Colleges in the Masters-Midwest category, Maryville University students may choose from 50 academic programs, including degrees at the bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral levels. Among recent graduates, 94 percent are employed or attending graduate school. More than 15,000 Maryville alumni work and live in the St. Louis region.

Cosmetic dentistry is a specialized practice within the dentistry field. It is concerned more with physical appearance of the oral cavity but can also help alleviate oral pain or diseases. Since the 1980s, cosmetic dentistry has evolved from only dental bonding to tooth whitening and invisible braces. Porcelain veneers help straighten crooked teeth and tooth whitening makes a dull smile dazzle. Dental bonding attaches an enamel-like material to the tooth’s surface to mold into a new tooth on top of a distressed one. Thanks to cosmetic dentistry, a more beautiful, youthful smile is now within reach with cosmetic dentistry.

The website, http://www.healthydentalsolutions.com, offers answers to your most pressing cosmetic dentistry questions. There are pages covering TMJ Syndrome, including symptoms, treatments and what to do with a TMJ emergency. There are also pages covering each type of procedure performed at Healthy Dental Solutions. Restorative dentistry pages crowns and bridges, root canal therapy, composite fillings, and inlays and onlays. Cosmetic dentistry pages include information about procedures such as porcelain veneers, tooth whitening, and tooth bonding. They also offer other services, including deep cleanings, fluoride treatments, and periodontal maintenance. Each page includes in-depth information about the procedure to help you feel comfortable with it. The contact page is there with all the information you need to make an appointment with Dr. Nguyen or Dr. DiStefano.

Dr. Gary DiStefano graduated from Western Michigan University in 1971 and received his DDS from the University Of Michigan’s Dental School in 1975. He holds a special interest in TMD and has had many successes in treating it since 1979. He also lectures medical students on TMJ at the Michigan State University (MSU) College of Osteopathic Medicine, and has been doing so since 1984. He keeps up with treatments and technology by attending lectures regularly and completing coursework to ensure the best care possible for his patients. Dr. Phu Nguyen graduated from MSU in 1997 and went on to receive his DDS from the University of Detroit Mercy Dental School in 2001. He has completed a one-year surgical internship with St. Joseph Mercy Hospital. He practiced two years of family general and cosmetic dentistry in Lansing before joining Dr. DiStefano in his cosmetic dentistry practice. Both doctors are focused on making the dentistry process as comfortable as possible for you.

Nursing school graduation is a mark of respect and appreciation of your determination. Naturally, your nursing school graduation announcements must be very good, in keeping with your eagerly awaited, wonderful nursing school graduation ceremony.

Party and Open House for Graduation: Graduation is the stage where you look back at many years in the education process and hope that will someday be of great help to you. A mound of decisions is waiting to be made. But at the same time, an overwhelming feeling of accomplishment soars through your being. As they say, in the words of a Dr. Seuss, âwith brains in the head as well as feet in the shoes, you can always steer yourself in whatever direction you wish to choose!â Graduation is a time to celebrate. And what better way to do so than by giving a graduation party?

Thank You Cards for Graduation: Thanking someone for a favor is a traditional practice, just like you thank people for attending your graduation ceremony or graduation party, ideally in person or through personalized graduation party thank you cards, like homeschool graduation thank you cards. College Graduation or University Graduation Thank You Cards are the hottest cards in demand every year. But there are cute graduation thank you cards for the little ones!

Muze Gallery Announces Carmen Ohio Series’ New Release Celebrating Ohio Stadium

Muze Gallery Announces Carmen Ohio Series’ New Release Celebrating Ohio Stadium

Akron, OH – Muze Gallery announced today the release of “Ohio’s Praise” depicting Ohio Stadium in its dedication of October 21, 1922. Artist Muze introduced the Carmen Ohio Series with the publishing of “Seasons Pass” of the legendary Ohio State Football Coach, Wayne Woodrow “Woody” Hayes, in a moment which epitomizes the legendary Hayes in a game which ultimately became his final coaching victory. The oil painting shows Woody Hayes wearing a short-sleeved shirt in the midst of a snow storm in a palette of Scarlet, Gray, Black and White.

Muze’s latest published painting, “Ohio’s Praise,” continues the Carmen Ohio Series with the legendary Ohio Stadium at its dedication. This iconic landmark is painted in a warm palette of Sepia, Black and White with a nostalgic feel. The flags blowing in the cloudy autumn sky atop Ohio Stadium enliven its monumental simplicity and classic severity. This year Ohio Stadium celebrates its eighty-eighth anniversary and serves as a reminder of the vision and courage of Ohio in building Ohio Stadium shown by a young Ohio State University, its alumni and the state at large as collegiate sports were just beginning.

Much of Ohio Stadium’s creation can be credited to their first All-American Charles William “Chic” Harley (September 15, 1894 – April 21, 1974). Chic Harley was the first three-time All-American selection honored in 1916, 1917 and 1919. His play captivated large crowds and Ohio Field was overwhelmed with spectators which set the stage for Ohio Stadium, often referred to as “The House that Harley Built.” Also known as “The Horseshoe,” or simply “The Shoe,” Ohio Stadium stands as the greatest collegiate sports cathedral but also as a timelessly hallowed battleground held so sacred by so many.

As The Ohio State University’s football program has grown over the years, so has Ohio Stadium. “Ohio’s Praise” was inspired by the beauty of Ohio Stadium and trying to capture the glory and pride of Ohio on its historic dedication day,” says Muze.

As with Muze’s previous Carmen Ohio Series art releases, a portion of the proceeds of “Ohio’s Praise” benefits The Ohio State University. “Seasons Pass” also benefits the Woody and Ann Hayes Scholarship fund promoting graduate studies for alumni athletes. “As Coach Hayes said, it is important that each of us pay forward so the charitable aspect of my work is very important to me,” said Muze. The first of the editions of “Ohio’s Praise” will be donated in celebration of Ohio Stadium’s dedication anniversary to various university locations.

U.S. Sen. Harkin Announces more than .2 Million for defense projects across Iowa

Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) today announced numerous investments for Iowa in the Fiscal Year 2010 Department of Defense (DOD) Appropriations bill. Funding has been approved for the Rock Island Arsenal, the Midwest Regional Counterdrug Training Center, Rockwell Collins and a variety of other Iowa businesses, colleges and communities. The bill still must pass the Senate before it is signed into law by the President. Harkin is a senior member of the Senate Defense Appropriations Subcommittee.

“This bill supports innovative projects that strengthen our nation’s defenses and boost Iowa’s economy,” said Harkin. “The work our local businesses and universities do provides our military with cutting edge equipment, technology and information. It gives our service men and women, our military families and the defense community the funding and tools necessary to keep America safe and secure and it provides national assistance to those Americans who are having a tough time in this economic downturn.”

In addition to funding for Iowa’s defense related projects, the bill contains an extension of COBRA and unemployment benefits for those looking for work, nutrition assistance for low income families and an extension of highway and small business loan assistance through the end of February, 2010.

Details of the funding are as follows:
