The bunny is dressed in regulation military clothing as a tribute to the men and women who serve this country and the families that eagerly wait for their return.</p>
<p>Each year DocMagic delivers thousands of bunnies to its customers. The DocMagic Bunny is a staple of the company&#39;s brand and every year the employees at DocMagic participate in a contest to pick the theme. For 2012, the employees overwhelmingly chose to show support for our country&#39;s troops by outfitting Doc in regulation military fatigues proudly displaying the American flag and equipping him with a GPS device. </p>
<p>&quot;Sergeant Doc was specifically created to honor the men and women who serve in the armed forces,&quot; said Dominic Iannitti. &quot;They and their families make enormous sacrifices and we wanted to show our appreciation. We are pleased that the 315th U.S. Army Tactical Company was able to help connect us with the families of those who serve. We are additionally gratified by the enthusiastic response from our customers, who have phoned and written to thank us for honoring our nation&#39;s true heroes.&quot;</p>
<p>With the help of the 315th, Sergeant Doc is being distributed to schools, youth organizations, churches and parks as well as the children and families of those deployed. These contributions are in keeping with the finest military traditions of the United States Army, which greatly appreciates the support of companies like DocMagic. The campaign began during the holiday season and is now continuing into the New Year. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://citizenwire.com/image/12-0117-trinfinanc_72dpi.jpg" border="0" title="Peter Grandich" alt="Peter Grandich" class="alignright" align="right" />WALL, N.J. /CitizenWire/ &#8212; Two NY Rangers fans who were attacked and beaten outside a Philadelphia eatery on January 2, 2012, after the Rangers vs. Flyers match up are about to receive the star treatment thanks to a business owner with ties to former team members. Peter Grandich, founder of Trinity Financial Sports &amp; Entertainment Management Co., LLC, will host the two men, Neal Auricchio Jr. and Michael Janocko at the February 12th Rangers game. Grandich will treat the pair to a private suite that they will share with former Rangers Nick Fotiu and Ron Greschner.</p>
<p>&quot;Former Ranger and Trinity Financial board members Nick Fotiu and Ron Greschner both contacted me shortly after the beating incident in Philly asking what we could do to show support to these Rangers fans,&quot; explains Grandich. &quot;Having already secured a suite at the February12th game, I decided to invite both Neal and Michael to be my guest with fan favorites Ron and Nick and we&#39;ve invited several other ex-Rangers,&quot; Grandich says. </p>
<p>He notes that he is also glad to see the Rangers organization invite the fans to a game later in February. </p>
<p>&quot;I felt especially motivated because of my involvement with current and retired professional athletes in the New York/New Jersey area and the concerns fans have of attending Philadelphia-based sporting events. I was most pleased to see not only how swiftly the Philadelphia police handled the case, but many Philly fans outraged by the attack,&quot; Grandich adds.</p>
<p>Auricchio, a new dad with a 3-month old baby, is a Woodbridge Police officer and Iraq war veteran. He received the Purple Heart for his service in Iraq. As a result of the unprovoked beating the two endured at the hands of Flyers fans as they were waiting for cheesesteaks after the outdoor Winter Classic hockey game at Citizens Park Bank, Auricchio is said to require surgery and the installation of steel plate under his eye to heal a fracture. Both men suffered head injuries, and Janocko also suffered an orthopedic injury.</p>
<p>Grandich contacted the pair through friends in the NJ State Police to invite them to the Rangers vs. Capitals game and both men were thrilled to accept. </p>
<p>&quot;Meeting men listed on the list of All-Time New York Rangers Greats is a thrill for any Ranger fan. Meeting two or more at once in a private suite while watching the game? That&#39;s a dream come true. I am happy to be able to make that happen for these two fans,&quot; says Grandich.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://citizenwire.com/image/12-0116-fastupf_72dpi.jpg" border="0" title="FastUpFront" alt="FastUpFront" class="alignright" align="right" />CLIFTON, N.J. /CitizenWire/ &#8212; FastUpFront plans to make waves with its newest infographic: 2012 Presidential Candidates for Small Businesses. The infographic details the positions of the top 2012 presidential candidates on major issues facing small businesses such as taxes, minimum wage, and business expenses. </p>
<p>&quot;It has always been our goal to help small business owners succeed, via our working capital solutions or our community outreach and business publications. This infographic is just another way for us to help small business owners. It&#39;s their right to know how each candidate may affect their businesses,&quot; explained Gary Barzel, FastUpFront&#39;s manager of business development, and senior editor of the FastUpFront small business blog.</p>
<p>The infographic is being released at a critical time with South Carolina and Florida primary elections scheduled within the month of January. While the infographic helps voters to understand the candidates in respect to business issues, FastUpFront is not using the infographic to push readers to vote for a specific candidate.</p>
<p>&quot;We feel that the candidates speak for themselves. Business owners will vote for the right 2012 presidential candidate based on a variety of issues, the infographic is meant only to summarize a variety of data sources and simplify those facts.&quot;</p>
<p>FastUpFront offers fast working capital for existing businesses. Small business owners can visit <a href="http://www.fastupfront.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://www.fastupfront.com" target="_blank">http://www.fastupfront.com</a> or call toll-free 1-888-878-6250 to learn more about its business working capital programs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://citizenwire.com/image/11-1229-titan_72dpi.jpg" border="0" title="Titan Lenders Corp" alt="Titan Lenders Corp" class="alignright" align="right" />DENVER, Colo. /CitizenWire/ &#8212; Mortgage fulfillment outsource services expert Titan Lenders Corp. (Titan) is pleased to announce the recruitment and hire of industry heavyweight Mark Ridder as executive vice president and general counsel. Ridder brings more than 31 years of experience in advising in-house corporate clients in areas ranging from regulatory compliance and operations to corporate acquisitions. </p>
<p>In his role at Titan, Ridder will be responsible for managing Titan&#39;s legal affairs, including contract negotiation and revisions, managing insurance and licensing requirements, developing documentation/contracts for expanding products and supporting the development of other customized operational support services. Ridder will also be involved with corporate management by serving on Titan&#39;s board of directors. </p>
<p>&quot;The tremendous growth Titan has experienced over the past two years necessitated the addition of a general counsel to oversee our increasingly complex operations,&quot; said Mary Kladde, Titan Lenders Corp. president and founder. &quot;Mark&#39;s background in real estate services coupled with his extensive experience in corporate incubation and development made him a natural fit for stewarding Titan&#39;s next stage of expansion.&quot; </p>
<p>&quot;Titan is a rapidly growing progressive mortgage fulfillment services company creating new ideas and services needed to meet the ever changing needs of our industry,&quot; Ridder said. &quot;We are the industry contact for tailored solutions which allow our clients to stay margin focused while maintaining regulatory compliance.&quot;</p>
<p>Previously, Ridder has served as executive vice president and general counsel for Mercury Companies, Inc. managing the legal affairs of a broad spectrum of real property enterprises for the holding company. Mercury was involved in title insurance, escrow, home building, software, mortgage document services, and mortgage lending. Ridder received his Bachelor of Arts degrees in history and government, with an emphasis in economics, from Adams State College in Alamosa, Colo., and his Juris Doctor from Washburn University of Topeka in Topeka, Kan.</p>
<p>About Titan Lenders Corp.:</p>
<p>Titan Lenders Corp. (<a href="http://www.TitanLendersCorp.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://www.TitanLendersCorp.com" target="_blank">www.TitanLendersCorp.com</a>) is one of a specialized few providers of mortgage back office fulfillment services, a not-well-understood facet of mortgage lending that includes closing, funding and post closing services. Community banks, credit unions, mortgage bankers and brokers, and warehouse line lenders use outsource providers strategically to minimize compliance risks in a time-sensitive error-averse environment. Fluctuations in mortgage lending volume also lead some mortgage lenders to outsource their entire back office operation and secure predictable &quot;per transaction&quot; pricing rather than maintaining an inflexible static in house staff.</p>
<p>Titan Lenders Corp.&#39;s patented, proprietary web-based software Cerberyx (CBX) supports a full suite of fulfillment services, including: funding, compliance, closing, post-closing, purchase review for correspondents and warehouse lenders, trailing documents, MERS management, FHA insuring, and document management (imaging). CBX&#39;s flexible rules-based architecture allows Titan clients to define field level decision trees, priorities, checklists and process management specific to an investor product variance or a cross-investor climate.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://citizenwire.com/image/12-0105-smithmck_72dpi.jpg" border="0" title="Smith McKenna, LLC" alt="Smith McKenna, LLC" class="alignright" align="right" />HOLLYWOOD, Fla. /CitizenWire/ &#8212; Smith McKenna, LLC announced this week that 2012 is the time to invest in silver. Stephen M. Smith, managing member Smith McKenna, has 20 plus years of experience in commodity-market analysis and advises that silver will emerge as king.</p>
<p>&quot;It&#39;s the only place to be,&quot; says Smith. &quot;Silver will dominate the commodity market in 2012.&quot;  </p>
<p>Smith strongly believes that political and economic changes have a dynamic impact on prices and in this time of global economic advancements there will be a mega shift in the metal market. Silver will dictate market direction. </p>
<p>&quot;As the global manufacturing machine gets into high gear it will sift through silver inventories at a rate never seen before,&quot; adds Smith.     </p>
<p>According to the Silver Institute, silver is indispensable. From industrial use to its role in decoration, technology, photography and medicine, its unique properties of strength, malleability, reflectivity and conductivity make it an irreplaceable force in the global market.</p>
<p>Smith adds that it is advisable to diversify risk by investing in precious metals and Smith McKenna offers some of the lowest spreads in the commodities investing market.   </p>
<p>Smith is scheduled to appear on Global Talk Radio, the world news and talk superstation, where he will address issues such as the explosion in the demand for metals; investing in metals in 2012; China&#39;s economic growth explosion; and more.      </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://citizenwire.com/image/12-0104-leadstrm_72dpi.jpg" border="0" title="Interactive Market Solutions, Inc." alt="Interactive Market Solutions, Inc." class="alignright" align="right" />GAITHERSBURG, Md. /CitizenWire/ &#8212; Interactive Market Solutions, Inc., the parent company for LeadStorm, a lead provider, announced today that its fourth quarter numbers were up 18 percent compared to the same quarter in 2010. </p>
<p>LeadStorm had an outstanding year in 2011, processing more than 16 million loan requests through its proprietary lead-processing platform. It had gross sales of $1.8 million yielding a net profit of $1.1 million.</p>
<p><a href="http://LeadStorm.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://LeadStorm.com" target="_blank">LeadStorm.com</a> provides lead generation and list management for clients in the financial services industry, worldwide, with a strong focus in the U.S. The majority of its clients service the $50 billion a year microloan industry.</p>
<p>&quot;We experienced an 11 percent increase in loan requests over the same period last year,&quot; says Philip Goldberg, owner and CEO of LeadStorm. &quot;This resulted in the 18 percent increase in gross revenue. The fourth quarter uptick was mostly attributed to the holiday season. Many people seek short-term or microloans during the holidays, and traditional lenders are not making these loans.&quot;</p>
<p>In business since 1999, <a href="http://LeadStorm.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://LeadStorm.com" target="_blank">LeadStorm.com</a> has experienced growth during both positive and negative economies, but it&#39;s a negative economy that generates an increased number of consumers seeking alternative financial products. In turn, more loan applications are received leading to the rise in revenue.</p>
<p>About LeadStorm:</p>
<p>LeadStorm is a lead provider that offers its clients access to leads across a number of verticals through its proprietary affiliate network. Lead buyers receive exclusive leads from the <a href="http://LeadStorm.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://LeadStorm.com" target="_blank">LeadStorm.com</a> network of websites. Areas of specialization include loan leads, debt leads and credit leads. </p>
<p>LeadStorm connects thousands of consumers with advertisers on a &quot;cost per lead&quot; basis. Advertisers only pay for potential customers who have requested their specific products or services. This model is favored by advertisers who abandoned the old strategy of paying for raw ad impressions with no guarantee of generating consumer response.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://LeadStorm.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://LeadStorm.com" target="_blank">LeadStorm.com</a> list management system delivers targeted advertisements to its clients&#39; customer database on a revenue-share basis. While list management comprises only 16 percent of the company&#39;s annual gross revenue, it&#39;s an area of focus for growth in 2012. The company plans to invest considerable resources to increase its list-management revenue.</p>
<p>For more information, contact Philip Goldberg at: phil@leadstorm.com; 1-800-659-1645 ext. 101; or visit: <a href="http://www.LeadStorm.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://www.LeadStorm.com" target="_blank">www.LeadStorm.com</a> .</p>

<p>Officially launched in December 2010, Drumbeat successfully raised seed capital from a strategic partner to begin operations. Using contacts and knowledge garnered from the founder&#39;s previous company, Rocket Broadband, Chris Bellacose and Clayton Baumann quickly grew Drumbeat Networks. One year later, a second cash injection is propelling the new company to new heights. With a large pipeline and substantial backlog buoying the company, the capital raise was initiated and completed within 90 days.</p>
<p>&quot;The additional funding and ongoing commitment of our investor group to continue to fund organic and strategic opportunities are going to be the keys to our success,&quot; said Chris Bellacose, Executive Vice President, Marketing &amp; Sales.</p>
<p>The new round of funding was facilitated by Attract Capital who saw the opportunity and helped convey that vision to the investment group.</p>
<p>&quot;By powering a finance-rich solution for Drumbeat, we were able to accelerate their growth in a rapidly growing industry. They are one of the up and coming, technology growth companies in New York State,&quot; stated David Barnitt, Principal at Attract Capital.</p>
<p>Upon closing, Drumbeat began putting the funding to work. The company immediately initiated relationships with two additional Management Groups, First Prise Properties and Barrington Residential in its home town base of Buffalo, N.Y. The newly signed agreements double the size of the business by adding almost 1,600 units to the portfolio.</p>
<p>&quot;Our explosive growth is allowing us to leverage economies of scale and bring on dedicated resources to make our company more efficient and robust,&quot; observed Clayton Baumann, Executive Vice President of Operations.</p>
