They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But when it comes to safety,bangles, convenience and innovation,key rings, there really is no substitute for the original Discount Cab.

Discount Cab’s sole mission is to deliver the best possible ride to its customers. Because of the company’s success over the past 26 years, however,Beads necklace, there are plenty of imitators on Valley streets, copying the company’s trademark green color scheme or slightly modifying the Discount Cab name to garner business.

But there’s only one authentic Discount Cab you should choose, according to Craig Hughes, CEO of Total Transit, Inc., the parent company of Discount Cab.

"Everything starts with the safety of each and every cab we put on the street," Hughes said. "All of our cabs receive personal maintenance inspections every 28 days, ensuring that any problems are caught before they become an issue."

Such inspections are more than a cursory examination of the car. Each inspection includes a complete assessment of the undercarriage,tiffany, engine compartment, interior and exterior. The suspension, brakes, fuel lines, tire pressure and transmission are just a few of the 55 areas that are verified to be in proper working order with every inspection.

In addition, every Discount Cab is serviced by trained technicians who don’t cut corners. Their work is inspected by the shop’s supervisory personnel, ensuring that every car is absolutely ready for passengers.

"Clean, safe cars are the life blood of our operation," Hughes said. "It’s imperative that we deliver on that promise to our customers."

This same attention to detail is extended to the drivers that Discount Cab puts behind the wheel of each cab. Every driver undergoes a thorough drug screening before being selected and is also subject to federal and state background checks. Every driver must also successfully complete a new driver orientation class and keep his or her car up to the standards Discount Cab has set.

Suffice it to say, only the safest drivers can get behind the wheel of a Discount Cab.

"Next time you use a taxi, make sure you’re getting an authentic Discount Cab," Hughes said.

Mercer County issued the following news release:,pendants

New Jersey residents have an ally in the fight against rising healthcare costs. A statewide discount prescription drug card program, called New Jersey Drug Card,earrings, is now being sponsored by Mercer County and is free to all residents, Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes announced today.

This program will provide discounts on both brand-name and generic medications, and average savings per purchase are estimated to be around 30 percent. There are no restrictions to membership, no income requirements, no age limit and no applications to fill out. The program is not medical insurance, but provides for substantial discounts for services that may not be covered under a person’s regular insurance or Medicare.

"The New Jersey Drug Card can be used by anyone for many of their medical needs, from prescription drug purchases to eyeglasses and contact lenses to dental care," said Hughes as he announced the new program alongside Hamilton Mayor John F. Bencivengo at the Hamilton Township Senior Center. "It really is a tremendously valuable card to own. It can end up saving our residents quite a bit on medical costs, whether or not they already have health insurance."

The New Jersey Drug Card was launched to help the uninsured and underinsured citizens of New Jersey afford their prescription medications. However, the program can also be used by people who have health insurance coverage with no prescription benefits, which is common in many health savings accounts (HSA) and high deductible health plans. Additionally, people who have prescription coverage can use this program for non-formulary or non-covered drugs. The New Jersey Drug Card can also be used by individuals who do not qualify for publicly funded programs such as Medicaid and Medicare.

The card can be used anywhere in the country with participating providers. To take advantage of these discounts, all a person has to do is present the discount card to the health provider or pharmacy. Most major pharmacy chains such as CVS, Walgreen’s, K-Mart,watches, Rite-Aid,Charm bracelet, and Target all accept the card.

There is absolutely no charge for the card or to participate in the program. The program was designed to help everyone reduce high medical costs.

Discounts range from 10 percent to 50 percent and major health service providers, including 55,000 pharmacies, across the country are participating in the program and making discounts available to those who have a card.

Covered are:

* Prescription drugs;

* Hearing exams and hearing aids;

* Vision exams, eyeglasses, contact lenses and Lasik eye surgery;

* Dental care;

* Diabetic supplies; and

* ProSmile

The New Jersey Drug Card is a solution to the confusing maze of discount programs that have appeared in recent years. Many of these programs only cover certain drugs, charge fees, and some have membership restrictions such as age and income requirements. The New Jersey Drug Card provides the residents of New Jersey with a simple solution. The New Jersey Drug Card has an "open formulary" which means that all drugs are included, has "on-the-fly enrollment", which means that no eligibility data is required to process a prescription, and everyone is eligible to participate in the program. Furthermore, the New Jersey Drug Card will not share, sell, or distribute personal information for any reason. New Jersey residents can download a free card and search drug pricing and participating pharmacies at http://www.nj.gov/counties/mercer/wellnessdiscount/. One card covers all the members in a family.

Because the businesses participating in the program are seeking more business countywide, there is no administrative cost associated with the program aside from printing costs, which can be recouped.

Information brochures and discount cards are also available through County Connection, located in Hamilton Township at Route 33 and Paxson Avenue in the Acme shopping center. Additionally, most Mercer County libraries and senior centers will also carry the cards.

Mercer County receives 50 cents for each prescription filled, money used for community outreach and to print brochures and discount cards. The program is administered by the county Office of Shared Services.

Mercer County is participating in the Shared Service Agreement along with 8 other counties: Bergen, Essex, Gloucester, Monmouth, Passaic, Union, Hudson and Salem. For any query with respect to this article or any other content requirement, please contact Editor at htsyndication@hindustantimes.com

Researchers detail in ‘Development of an acid challenge-based in vitro dentin disc occlusion model,’ new data in cosmetics (see also <http://www.newsrx.com/library/topics/Cosmetics.html> Cosmetics). "The objective of this study was to evaluate the utility of a novel acid challenge-based dentin disc occlusion model, and to compare the occluding effect and acid resistance exhibited by currently marketed occlusion dentifrices in vitro. Ninety-six bovine dentin discs were polished and etched in citric acid (6% w/w) for two minutes to provide a smooth dentin surface with patent tubules," scientists in Weybridge, the United Kingdom report.

"The discs were divided into three treatment groups. Each treatment group was brushed (Oral-B Vitality Precision Clean/EB 17 FlexiSoft head) twice a day, for up to four days, with either a strontium acetate dentifrice (Sensodyne Rapid Relief), an arginine-based dentifrice (Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief), or water. Prior to and between treatments, the dentin samples were stored in human saliva. On days 3 and 4, following dentifrice treatment and incubation in saliva (60 minutes), the samples were subjected to a grapefruit juice challenge. Eight samples from each treatment group were removed from the study on each day and analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The SEM images were graded according to a categorical occlusion scale, and the data were analyzed by ANOVA. The strontium acetate dentifrice occluded dentin tubules significantly better than the negative control (water) on days 1 through 4 (day 4 p<or=0.0001). The marketed occlusion-based dentifrices demonstrated various degrees of dentin tubule occlusion over the four days. The strontium acetate dentifrice demonstrated significantly better occlusion than a currently marketed arginine-based occlusion dentifrice on day 1 (p=0.0337),Atlas charm bracelet, day 2 (p=0.0021 ), and day 4 (p <or=0.0001). An in vitro model has been developed that can differentiate the dentin tubular occlusive effects of currently marketed occlusion dentifrices,tiffany," wrote C.R. Parkinson and colleagues, GlaxoSmithKline.

The researchers concluded: "Surface analysis reveals that the occluding deposits vary according to product, and that some are more susceptible to acid mediated dissolution."

Parkinson and colleagues published their study in the Journal of Clinical Dentistry (Development of an acid challenge-based in vitro dentin disc occlusion model. Journal of Clinical Dentistry, 2010;21(2):31-6).

Current study results from the report, ‘A comparative clinical study investigating the efficacy of a dentifrice containing 8% strontium acetate and 1040 ppm fluoride in a silica base and a control dentifrice containing 1450 ppm fluoride in a silica base to provide immediate relief of dentin hypersensitivity,’ have been published. "The objective of this clinical study was to evaluate and compare the efficacy of a dentifrice containing 8% strontium acetate and 1040 ppm fluoride (from sodium fluoride) in a silica base (test dentifrice) to a control dentifrice containing 1450 ppm fluoride (from sodium fluoride) in a silica base, to reduce dentin hypersensitivity immediately after a single dab-on self-application, and after subsequent twice-daily brushing for three days. This was a randomized, examiner-blind, two-arm parallel group,tiffany, three-day clinical study with seventy-nine subjects,watches, stratified based on baseline tooth sensitivity," researchers in Weybridge, the United Kingdom report.

"Tooth sensitivity was determined through subject responses to both evaporative (Schiff and Visual Analogue Scale [VAS]) and tactile stimuli (Yeaple probe), prior to and immediately after subjects self-applied a single pea-sized amount of either the test or control dentifrice to qualifying sensitive teeth, massaging the toothpaste onto the sensitive area for one minute. Tooth sensitivity was further assessed in response to the same stimuli after subjects brushed twice daily for an additional three days. Subject assessments were performed by the same examiner throughout the study. Seventy-nine subjects completed this clinical study. Both subject groups exhibited reductions in dentin hypersensitivity directly after a single dab-on application. These reductions were significant across all measures for the test dentifrice. Between-treatment analyses showed the test dentifrice to be significantly better at relieving subjects’ sensitivity across all measures (Schiff p=0.0003, tactile p=0.0003, and VAS p=0.0077) compared to the control. After the additional three days of twice-daily brushing, between-treatment analyses showed the test dentifrice to be significantly better at relieving subjects’ sensitivity across all measures (Schiff p=0.0102, tactile p=0.0493, and VAS p=0.0067) than the control dentifrice. The 8% strontium acetate, 1040 ppm fluoride dentifrice provided significant within-treatment reductions in dentin hypersensitivity for all measures at both time points (immediate and three-day brushing)," wrote S. Mason and colleagues, GlaxoSmithKline.

The researchers concluded: "Compared to the control dentifrice, significant between-treatment reductions in sensitivity were observed after a single dab-on application for all measures, and following the additional twice-daily brushing for three days in favor of the 8% strontium acetate, 1040 ppm fluoride dentifrice."

Mason and colleagues published their study in the Journal of Clinical Dentistry (A comparative clinical study investigating the efficacy of a dentifrice containing 8% strontium acetate and 1040 ppm fluoride in a silica base and a control dentifrice containing 1450 ppm fluoride in a silica base to provide immediate relief of dentin hypersensitivity.

Austin Peay State University issued the following news release:

Austin Peay State University women’s soccer team will get a chance to measure its progress when it host Freed-Hardeman in a 7 p.m., Friday exhibition match at Morgan Brothers Soccer Field.

The Lady Govs are anxious for their first opportunity to the field against players in different jerseys, much like most teams are after several weeks of preseason camp. Although the heat has been an issue for all outdoor sports, Austin Peay head coach Kelley Guth and her team have made the necessary adjustments in order to get practice time.

Defense always has been priority, but expect to see the 2010 version of the Lady Govs score some goals. For a team that lost seven one-goal games a year ago, Guth compensated by adding several young players that should be able to contribute right away. However,rings, the Ariza twins,bangles, who most recently played at the U20 FIFA World Cup, are yet to join the team, but should arrive by the end of the month.

Highlight the offensive side of the pitch is a pair of seniors in Kellie Cannon and Monique Wong. They are complemented by freshman twins Joceline and Andy Quiceno, from Houston, Texas, along the front sides. Transitioning the midfield are seniors Samantha Northrup and Michelle Johnson, both of whom played more than 1,000 minutes in 2009.

Senior goalkeeper Carley Newman returns for her third season in net and will be backed up by junior Mackenzie Ladd,watches, sophomore Jackie Magurn and freshman Haylee Shoaff. In front of her is an experienced defense led by senior center back Hannah Jones, sophomore Jazzmine Chandler – an OVC All-Newcomer pick as a freshman – and junior Sara Kluttz.

Freed-Hardeman, meanwhile, is in a unique situation of returning all of its starters from the 2009 season. Included in that mix are all-league selections Tiffany Harris and Nikki Ceeney. Harris, the Lady Lion’s keeper,Beads necklace, is the program’s all-time saves leader.

New research,money clips, ‘Pulse pressure and coronary atherosclerosis in asymptomatic type 2 diabetes mellitus: a 64 channel cardiac computed tomography analysis,’ is the subject of a report (see also <http://www.newsrx.com/library/topics/Type-2-Diabetes.html> Type 2 Diabetes). "Identification of high risk sub-groups for early initiation of preventive medical therapy requires widespread population screening using simple, inexpensive tests. High pulse pressure has been shown to predict adverse coronary events,Bead bracelet," investigators in Haifa, Israel report.

"We examined if this correlation was related to a greater coronary plaque burden in patients with high pulse pressure using 64 channel coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The study included 427 consecutive asymptomatic diabetic patients with no history of coronary disease, (age 55-74 years, 58% women), undergoing CCTA as part of a prospective outcomes study. Coronary atheroma was present in 76.6% of patients, multivessel coronary atheroma in 55.1% and luminal stenosis (>or=50% of diameter) in 22.9%. Pulse pressure (adjusted for age, gender, mean blood pressure and heart rate) correlated with number of coronary arteries with atheroma (p=0.005) and with multivessel coronary atheroma (odds ratio 1.24 95%CI 1.06-1.43 for each 10 mm Hg pulse pressure, p=0.009). The correlation was independent of Framingham and United Kingdom Prospective Diabetic Study risk scores (p=0.027 and p=0.036 respectively). Adjusted pulse pressure also correlated with quartiles of coronary artery calcium score (p=0.009)," wrote D.A. Halon and colleagues, Lady Davis Carmel Medical Center, Department of Cardiovascular Medicine.

The researchers concluded: "Elevated pulse pressure was a useful independent marker of presence and extent of pre-clinical coronary artery disease in an asymptomatic diabetic population."

Halon and colleagues published their study in International Journal of Cardiology (Pulse pressure and coronary atherosclerosis in asymptomatic type 2 diabetes mellitus: a 64 channel cardiac computed tomography analysis. International Journal of Cardiology, 2010;143(1):63-71).

Clothing retailer Boden plans to more than double the size of its facility in CenterPoint Commerce and Trade Park East.

The expansion will create 60 new jobs by February 2011 and preserve the 140 jobs at the call center and distribution facility on Armstrong Road, announced Julian Granville, managing director of Boden, at a press conference Wednesday.

About 55 jobs will be warehouse positions paying about $9 an hour and about five will be management positions starting at $35,Charm bracelet,000 a year, said Wayne Dottor, vice president of operations for Boden.

Construction will begin immediately and will add 74,400 square feet to the 62,000-square-foot facility. The expansion is expected to be finished by the end of the year. Over time, more jobs could be created, Mr. Granville said.

Boden sells clothing for men, women, teens and children with a British twist through its website and catalogs. Boden operates two retail stores in the United Kingdom. Founder J.P Boden of the United Kingdom chose Jenkins Twp. as the site to open its first facility in the United States in 2008 to support its growing business.

About 867,000 customers have bought clothes from Boden since it relocated to the United States, Mr. Granville said. Next year, he anticipates that number will grow to more than 1 million. Increasing the size of the facility will enable Boden to increase its stock in the United States and give customers "a much improved service," Mr. Granville said.

Since Boden opened in Jenkins Twp. in 2008, Mr. Granville said it hasn’t been easy to be a clothing retailer amid a deep recession with consumers significantly reducing spending.

He credited Boden’s 140 workers for serving customers and allowing the business to grow.

"It’s a hell of an achievement to have grown the Boden business so well through what is very possibly the worst economic conditions of our lifetime,necklaces," Mr. Granville said. "We put Boden here because, most importantly, we could get a first-class work force, and that we’ve done."

Robert K. Mericle, who participated in the ground-breaking, developed the CenterPoint Commerce and Trade Park starting in October 2005.

In less than five years, the park has grown to about 5.3 million square feet. Nearly 2,cuff Links,500 people work for the 24 companies in CenterPoint. Mericle owns the Boden building and is constructing the expansion.

Boden is in a Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance zone,Atlas charm bracelet, allowing it to receive property tax abatements for 10 years.

"That has been a key incentive in reducing the cost of operating here," Mr. Granville said.

The renewal of the one-cent Capital Projects Sales Tax will be decided in November by voters.,Charm bracelet

Despite the urging of several who spoke during the public hearing on the issue, Aiken County Council approved by a majority to put the referendum on the ballot this year instead of postponing it until 2011. And, in turn, approved the lengthy list of projects that would be funded by the sales tax revenue if the referendum passes.

Several members of Council, by their own admission, were undecided on the referendum’s timing up until the moment the vote was taken. Ultimately,necklaces, however, they said they had no desire to spend taxpayer money on a 2011 special election. Nor did they want to risk low voter turnout, for which special elections are notorious. More people are expected to be drawn to the polls this November eager for the chance to shape state leadership in races for governor, lieutenant governor, superintendent of education and others.

"I don’t believe we should ever have a vote on a tax in a special election," Councilwoman Kathy Rawls said.

Yet, the majority of those who addressed Council Tuesday, encouraged the body to delay the referendum for one year citing the electorate’s frustration with perceived government mismanagement of money — more specifically on the state and federal level — and with taxes in general.

"We’re all very much aware of how angry people are. They are frustrated with taxes … and the loss of individual rights. I recommend holding off one year. The taxpayers’ attitude may change," said Pete Seaha, chairman of the Aiken County TEA Party.

Others took issue, not only with the very idea of the tax, but with the projects it proposes to fund. One woman scoffed what she called "fluff" projects.

"Playgrounds. Why do we need new playgrounds? It is not the job of government to provide those things,earrings," she said.

Councilman Gary Bunker argued that one man’s fluff is another man’s needs but did note he was "dismayed" the City of Aiken chose to keep the Railroad Depot on its list.

Councilman Willar Hightower voted in opposition to the ordinance proposing the tax’s continuation.

"I don’t like a sales tax to fund basic government functions," he said. "When I look at the list, for the most part it is good. But, there seemed to be a mood this year of, ‘We don’t want to fund certain organizations.’ Railroad Depot funding is not what you want to do. But there are other worthy organizations, like the Cumbee Center."

Councilwoman LaWana McKenzie was absent.

The Capital Projects Sales Tax is a special one-cent option sales tax applying to the gross proceeds of sales in Aiken County, excluding unprepared food if it is purchased with food stamps. County Administrator Clay Killian has estimated the total take from round three would be anywhere between $130 million to $145 million.

This will be the third renewal. Each reimposed tax must not exceed seven years from the date of reimposition. It will not be another penny collected on top of the current one.

If voters do not pass it in November,cuff Links, the referendum cannot be reintroduced until 2012. The current round is expected to expire in the first quarter of 2012.

"I am not so sure the next four years are going to be a heck of a lot of fun without the Capital Projects Sales Tax," said Councilman Scott Singer.
