Personal Injury Victims Clueless Concerning Claims

 

Many Personal Injury Victims Don’t Know What Their Claims are Worth or Even Whether They Have Valid Claims — Free Resources at Total Injury Can Help

Many personal injury victims are confused by conflicting information in the media, stories from friends and family, and the differences in personal injury law from state to state. Total Injury at www.totalinjury.com provides resources to help personal injury victims understand their rights, find important information like statutes of limitations, and arrange free consultations with personal injury lawyers in their area. Now, Total Injury is also collecting verdict and settlement information from around the country so that personal injury victims can gain insight into how cases similar to their own are being decided.

(PRWEB) June 28, 2006 -- Most personal injury victims are facing once-in-a-lifetime circumstances, and so aren’t familiar with personal injury law, the insurance claims process, case valuation, statutes of limitations, and all of the other important but technical information that factors into the viability and valuation of a personal injury case.

The issues become even more complicated because laws and procedures vary from state to state, so even accurate information a personal injury victim has heard from a relative or seen on the news may be misleading. Total Injury strives to provide accurate, easy-to-understand information to help personal injury victims understand their rights and options, and to connect them with local personal injury attorneys who provide free consultations.

On the Total Injury website, personal injury victims can learn about the typical steps in a personal injury case. At the same time, most will be relieved to discover that the vast majority of personal injury claims settle before trial.

Finally, since most personal injury victims are concerned about the value of their claims, Total Injury provides a resource explaining the factors that play into the valuation of a personal injury claim, and a round-up of personal injury verdicts from news sources across the country.

These brief descriptions of injuries, settlements and verdicts from numerous states illustrate the range of cases personal injury lawyers handle. Recent verdicts truly cover the spectrum, from a $25,000 award to a mail carrier bitten by a dog to a $26.8 million dollar verdict in favor of a woman injured in a collision with a police car. Personal injury victims can read about cases similar to their own: car accidents, slip and fall injuries, bicycle injuries, workplace mishaps, and more.

Good And Bad Reasons To Buy And Sell Domain Names

 

Reasons To Buy And Sell Domain Names And How To Get Started

SearchDomainsForSale.com, a domain portfolio and services company has published an exhaustive "Why buy domains" list of reasons to invest in domain names. They also offer thousands of keyword related domains for sale and free consulting services to help get domain entrepreneurs started in business.

(PRWEB) June 22, 2006 -- Rob Sequin, owner of http://SearchDomainsForSale.com published this list after many years of buying and selling domains. "The domain sales market has exploded this year so we wanted to capture and share the many reasons that investors and entrepreneurs are actively buying and selling domains in this unique marketplace.

Why Buy Domains:

Advertising Revenue: If you will be providing content on your site, you would be considered a publisher. Publishers make money by selling name brand products and services that are related to the site's content. Commission Junction offers thousands of advertisers that want to offer products and services on your site.

Brand: Develop your new domain name to feature your brand name products or services. All domain names are unique but there are only so many good ones relevant to your interests.

Competition: Buy related domain names so your competition can't use them for their benefit and/or against you. What if they bought the domain names that you are thinking about buying? You may NEVER have the opportunity to own them ever again. And now the domains that you once liked are now being used to against you. Don't look back someday and regret not buying the domain names you want.

Content: Use your new domain name for a blog, hobby site, specialty ecommerce site, community information, photo sharing, friends and family networking and more.

Cost Effective: Your cost is primarily the purchase price of the domain name. Annual renewal fees are less than $10 per year.

Credibility: Show your visitors that you are serious about your content. Build sites or park pages on good domain names and be proud of the domain names you own. If you are opening an online business, start with a good domain name. Show your visitors/customers that you are serious about your online venture and, in a few years, the domain will probably appreciate in value even if your business does not take off.

Direct Navigation: This occurs when an end user types YourDomainName.extension into their browser directly without even searching to find your site. Many of our keyword-specific domains are enjoy Direct Navigation.

Email: Use your new domain name to host email addresses. Create and use email addresses like email protected from spam botsension or email protected from spam botsension. You will never have to change your email address again because your email provider/ISP changed.

Ecommerce: Build a storefront and sell your home made salsa or arts and crafts. Point your domain name to your eBay® seller's page and then give it out to potential customers. A domain name is much easier to put on a business card or advertisement in a newspaper or magazine than a crazy eBay® seller's list or storefront.

Express Yourself: What do you have to say? Build a political blog site, review the latest electronic gadgets or offer gardening tips. Tell the people what's good and bad in the world.

..and that's just to the letter E. Visit http://searchdomainsforsale.com/why-buy-domain-names.htm

If you would like to get started investing in domains, visit http://searchdomainsforsale.com to read more and review their domain portfolio sorted into twenty one categories and thirty domain keyword portfolios for sale.

SearchDomainsForSale.com also offers a domain buyer broker service should you find a domain you like from a different owner.

Conducting International Business with Online Legal Information

 

Modern Technology Makes Conducting International Business Easy with Online Legal Information

A new website, Worlds Law Online, is revolutionizing international business by using a team of attorneys across the globe to provide cost-effective legal information online using videoconferencing, email and telephone.

(PRWEB) June 22, 2006 -- A new website (www.WorldsLawOnline.com) is revolutionizing international business by using a team of attorneys across the globe to provide cost-effective legal information online using videoconferencing and email. If the matter is too complex for online, a local firm in Worlds Law network assumes the case to provide more personal service.

Bret Bocook founded the Worlds Law Online network when he realized that despite pervasive globalization, it was still very difficult and expensive to conduct international business and to get access to an attorney quickly and efficiently.

“Through our on-line services and via our network of strategic legal alliances, Worlds Law serves the needs of individuals, governments, companies, and non-profit organizations in all parts of the world. WorldsLawOnline.com has been created to take advantage of recent technology advancements in video conferencing and other on-line services to serve clients needs at a fraction of the cost of traditional law firms. Personal video conferences, on-line document preparation and email have created the opportunity for legal consumers to save vast amounts of money and time, and still get exceptional legal services given in a personal fashion at a location that is convenient to them” explains Bret.

Worlds Law Online has been designed to handle a wide array of legal services, according to Bret. “For individuals or firms that need a specific question answered, a document prepared, or require a virtual in-house counsel, Worlds Law Online is a convenient and cost saving alternative to hiring a full time attorney or retaining a local law firm”

For more complex legal services that require in-person contact, the Worlds Law Online network has associates around the world. “We’re adding countries every day and by the end of the summer we will have associates in nearly every region on Earth” added Bocook.

While there is a growing business in US citizens wanting to do business abroad, the largest market is still foreigners who want a business presence in the United States, particularly those from Eastern Europe and Asia. “Many firms market and sell products to US customers, but if you’re online and it comes time to make a purchase and you notice the business and the payment is going to Russia, many people are unwilling to complete the transaction” Bocook explains. www.WorldsLawOnline.com helps those foreign companies understand US law and what needs to happen in order to form an official US based LLC or corporation.”

Not limited to just business formation, World’s Law Online provides legal information in the following areas:, international family law, international construction law, international business law, international finance law, international employment law, international trust and estate law, international real estate law, international health care law, and international     product liability law.

Worlds Law Online is a fast growing, pre-IPO company and is currently seeking investors. More information can be found at http://www.worldslawonline.com/invest.php

Bocook brings impressive credentials to the business, which has helped him to assemble a highly skilled team. As a founder of a major real estate law firm, Bocook has recently been focused on using his background on a more philanthropic project, the Angels Camp homeless shelter in Washington, DC. “The Angels Camp is a state-of-the-art facility that could end homelessness in the US as we know it. Says Bocook. “It is a self sustaining shelter that generates its own income and doesn’t just provide temporary shelter, but trains and equips residents to be successful members of society.”

AngelsCamp, is a state-of-the-art homeless shelter in Washington DC (see www.AngelsCampOnline.com for more details).

Address Postal Mail With An E-mail Address

 Snail Mail's Revenge: New Postal System Allows Physical Mail to Be Addressed to an E-mail Address

Los Angeles, CA June 2, 2006 -- Details of a new postal mail system have been disclosed today, revealing a service in which so-called "snail mail" -- regular postal mail -- can be sent without any physical mailing address. Under the new system, instead of using a traditional physical mailing address (name, street, city, state, zip), a sender simply applies an e-mail address (e-mail protected from spam bots) to an envelope, affixes the correct postage, and deposits the envelope with a postal carrier. Thereafter, the postal carrier hands of the envelope to a third-party service provider, which provider in turn finishes processing the envelope.

Multiple delivery scenarios are possible. In one embodiment, the intended recipient is contacted by e-mail and asked for a delivery preference. In another embodiment, the envelope is simply delivered to the registered owner of the domain name used in the e-mail address; the domain name owner then forwards the envelope to its final destination, if necessary.

Postage required for use of the new service is expected to cost three times the regular first-class mailing rate for an envelope, or two times the regular rate for a postcard.

The new service, dubbed "ShelMail," has not yet been approved by the United States Postal Service, although the creators are seeking approval for launch of the system in the United States before pursuing launch in other countries.

The new postal mail service was created by Inventerprise LLC, an award-winning product development company based in Los Angeles, California, in collaboration with Innovisioneering, a product development firm based in Memphis, Tennessee.

A company representative expressed some hopes for the future of the service today, saying, "We expect ShelMail to simplify people's lives by eliminating the need for maintaining a physical address book. Just keep up with someone's e-mail address, and you are good to go."

If approved by the United States Postal Service, a pilot program for ShelMail could be launched as early as 2008.

Tier 1 Bankruptcy Firm Helps Clients Avoid Tears

 

Kozyak Tropin & Throckmorton is Named Tier 1 Bankruptcy Firm in Florida in the 2006 Chambers USA Client’s Guide

John Kozyak, Charles Throckmorton and Corali Lopez-Castro Lead Kozyak Tropin & Throckmorton’s Bankruptcy Law Department to Tier 1 Status in Chambers USA 2006

Miami, Florida (PRWEB) June 18, 2006 -- The Chambers 2006 Client’s Guide ranked Kozyak Tropin & Throckmorton as a Tier 1 bankruptcy law firm in Florida. About the firm, Chambers wrote: “This ‘lean and aggressive outfit is a surefire leader’ in the Florida Market.

It is noted for it s preeminence in litigation as well as bankruptcy related matters, with clients pointing to the proficiency and talent of attorneys across the board. The group ‘gets the desired results and gets them quickly and efficiently,’ according to clients who go on to acknowledge the responsiveness of the attorneys and ‘the good relationships they have with judges.’ The firm currently represents the trustee of the bankrupt Commercial Financial Services in litigation in Tulsa against its former lawyers, accountants and investment bankers for contributing to the company’s $1 billion losses.“

Chambers ranked John Kozyak and Charles Throckmorton as Tier 1 Florida Bankruptcy Lawyers. About KT&T’s attorneys, Chambers wrote: “Clients feel that John Kozyak ‘puts his heart and soul into working on his client’s behalf.’ A strategic thinker, he is solutions-driven and gets right to the point with ‘his methodical, deliberate and awe-inspiring performances.’ Kozyak represented the largest unsecured creditor in the Bentley Bay condominium reorganization in the past year, one of the largest real estate bankruptcies in South Florida.

Charles Throckmorton is ‘a star in his own right’ and a respected bankruptcy litigation specialist. He is sought after by various high net worth individuals for advice on bankruptcy-related litigation and workouts. He recently served as special litigation counsel to the bankruptcy trustee on the Bankest Capital case.

Mobile Search Advertising

The Emergence of Mobile Search And Its Impact on Advertising

 

by Eric McCabe, Wednesday, June 14, 2006
SEARCH IS MOVING FROM THE desktop to mobile devices. Thanks to the search training we've all received from online veterans like Google, Yahoo, Amazon and eBay, search on mobile devices promises to be an extremely efficient sales and marketing channel. The opportunity for search pioneers, savvy advertisers and mobile operators to offer valuable services and products to the world's two billion mobile device users cannot be underestimated.

 

For today's consumers, mobile devices are more than cell phones or PDAs. Like clothes, hairstyles, and cars, they define the user's identity. Listen to the range of ringtones people choose to alert them to the identity of a caller, and you will see the essential role these devices play in daily life. It's natural that search, an application that helps me find "just what I was looking for," will be the next big thing to happen in the world of mobile devices.

 

Of course mobile search is different from Internet search. Where Internet users seek information from infinite categories and will accept hundreds of results to any query, mobile subscribers look for a limited number of high-quality results that are specific to goods and services they want right now. Mobile subscribers are increasingly turning to cell phones for information of all kinds: weather, directions, movie times and tickets, restaurant listings, music downloads, mobile games and ringtones.

 

Some doubt that mobile search will catch on and generate meaningful revenues for advertisers. However, recent carrier deployments of mobile search are proving the value of the application as a way to spur sales by connecting their subscribers with information they want, ultimately improving the subscribers' experience with the carrier interface.

 

Take one North American carrier's recent experiences with mobile search:

 

- Four months after deploying a WAP-based mobile search solution on its top 20 handsets, the carrier was running more than half a million searches a month through its mobile content catalog, including content from its own portal and 10 content providers.

 

- The carrier has seen a 46 percent increase in unique users and a 181 percent increase in revenue by moving the search box to the main page.

 

- The carrier realized an average increase of > $1.10 per month in revenue per user.

 

- The average purchase is $2.55 and is increasing,

 

- Sixty percent of queries are unique--the classic long-tail behavior that has fueled Google's growth.

 

If content is available, users will buy. More than 11 percent of searches end in a sale, a number that grows each week

 

Query lengths averaged eight characters, as opposed to over 14 characters for the typical Google Internet search.

 

Subscribers aren't deterred by the keypad--the longest query entered was over 45 characters!

 

Bringing search to mobile devices extends the power of the Internet to the moment of a subscriber's need. With mobile search, users can search for a ringtone and receive information on ringtones and related goods--album cover wallpaper, pictures of the artist, true-tone ringtones, even full songs. A search for pizza by zip code will present the subscriber with the names of pizza restaurants--and the opportunity to click directly through to a Web site or a direct-connect telephone number to place an order.

 

Most advertising is viewed as intrusive. Search advertising, however, presents relevant offers, unlike traditional push advertising. Advertisers benefit from the ability to promote their goods and services to mobile users in several ways:

 

Reach a wide audience of qualified prospects--local businesses can leverage the reach of mobile search to tap into an increasingly active consumer base.

 

Target the most desired consumers--advertisers can target consumers by geography and handset type.

 

Contact/speak directly with the customer at the time of decision--pay-per-click and pay-per-call delivers highly qualified leads, when user intent or need is highest.

 

Convert potential customers into buyers--pay-per-call advertisers can drive consumers directly to sales and service professionals, who can answer questions, overcome objections, and provide additional insight to consumers.

 

Measurable ROI--Advertisers can view real-time performance data that will help them identify caller and browser patterns and time of day volume, and allow them to optimize their ads to maximize ROI.

 

As appealing, relevant mobile content becomes more available, users will vote with their keypads. Smart advertisers will keep this in mind as they plan buys. Raised with computers and the Internet, mobile device users are accustomed to receiving content encapsulated in marketing messages. Search engines have paved the way for this acceptance by displaying keyword ads alongside search results. Mobile search represents the "last mile" for advertisers seeking to reach consumers at the point of decision.

Ad Technology Jams Usable Text Into Compact Creatives

 

snap2eyes To Offer CPC-Optimized Textpandable Ad Template For Free; Fully Customizable Ad Template Redefines Text Ad

The versatile, cost-free, and easy to use Textpandable™ ad template empowers any business or non-profit organization to create text-filled Internet ads that feature aesthetic simplicity, eye-catching animation, and functional sophistication. Users simply enter their ad copy (including up to 5,000 words of expandable text) and specify their design and color preferences from among scores of options displayed in the intuitively organized user interface containing both the customizable ad properties and the user-friendly, integrated help that explains each option. Because Textpandable ads can hold much more information than conventional text-based ads, they also lead to smarter click decisions by the Internet user, and thereby decrease frustration and wasted time for the Internet user as well as squandered CPC expenses for the advertiser.

New York, NY (PRWEB) June 9, 2006 – Online advertising company snap2eyes LLC (www.snap2eyes.com) announces the launch of its Textpandable™ ad template, an information and feature-rich, customizable, rich media ad template (see: www.textpandable.com).

The versatile, cost-free, and easy to use ad template empowers any business or non-profit organization to create text-filled Internet ads that feature aesthetic simplicity, eye-catching animation, and functional sophistication. To create an online ad based on the Textpandable ad template, advertisers require no knowledge of any rich media authoring tools, HTML coding, or other programming languages, and need not create any graphics or other visual resources. Users simply enter their ad copy and specify their design and color preferences from among the many options displayed in the intuitively organized user interface containing both the customizable ad properties and the user-friendly, integrated help that explains each option.

The Textpandable ad template is available in several standard IAB ad unit sizes and shapes, including 250x250 IMU squares, 160x600 IMU skyscrapers, and 300x600 IMU half page ads. Advertisers can also choose a non-standard size by selecting “Custom IMU.” For any size chosen, advertisers can select the color of up to 45 different graphical components of the Textpandable ad template, including the color of various lines, buttons, backgrounds, and sections. Users can also tailor nearly 60 non-color settings, such as font style, background patterns, text alignment, and total expanding text areas. The Textpandable thus offers advertisers a virtually endless array of creative possibilities with which to differentiate their brand or message, while still maintaining a clean and elegant overall ad look. More advanced users also have the ability to enter HTML and thereby further increase their creative choices.

Ads based on the Textpandable ad template are inherently interactive because they offer a mini-browsing experience within each ad. Internet users viewing the ad can actively decide when and what additional information will be displayed in the ad space, rather than passively waiting for the information to be presented by the ad itself.

Despite its graceful and spacious appearance, the Textpandable ad template can contain up to about 5,000 words of expandable ad copy. This unique and powerful feature makes it possible to embed -- in a single online ad -- a wide variety of information-packed content by or about the advertiser, including full company press releases; sample editorial content; press coverage about the advertiser, its offerings, or any related topics; political campaign platforms; relevant industry reports or articles; in-depth product or service information; or any other detailed text. The ability to incorporate lengthier bodies of expandable text is especially useful for news and information sites, ezines, blogs, and other content sites that want to tempt Internet users with a longer and more enticing sample of their editorial content.

Because the Textpandable can hold much more information than conventional text-based ads, the ad template leads to smarter click decisions by Internet users and thereby better optimizes the CPC (cost per click) pricing model for advertisers. Such a CPC-optimized ad decreases frustration and wasted time for the Internet user and lowers CPC campaign expenses for the advertiser. By contrast, ads that offer insufficient information often waste the time of the Internet user who must click on the ad to get redirected to a campaign page or web site, only to discover that the ad promotes nothing of interest to the Internet user, while needlessly increasing the advertiser’s CPC costs.

Within the space limitations of the ad unit selected, the advertiser can decide how much ad copy will appear initially (without any text expansion by the Internet user). Some advertisers may prefer to display as much as possible to ensure that certain information is communicated even if the Internet user chooses not to expand any portion of the ad. Other advertisers may prefer to keep most of the ad text initially hidden, in order to create an even cleaner, minimalist look, or to prompt curious Internet users to interact with the Textpandable for the additional information embedded within the ad. By revealing ad text only when the Internet user selects it, online advertisers can also more effectively incorporate humor and surprises that unfold in stages.

The lightweight size of the Textpandable (under 40KB) makes the ad template IAB compliant and widely deployable. Thus, the multi-purpose Textpandable can be placed anywhere, from the most basic website in need of some visual variation, to the largest ad network or portal, where brand competition and differentiation present a constant challenge.

The Textpandable is powered by the snap2eyes Rich Media Ad Factory™ (or RMAF™) Platform – a proprietary technology that creates affordable rich media ads out of customizable templates. The RMAF Platform enables advertisers to choose from a range of sophisticated online ad templates and then tailor the eye-catching animation by combining it with their ad campaign content. Once an ad template such as the Textpandable has been tailored and finalized, the user receives it in the Macromedia® Flash® File Format (SWF), along with a deployment guide.

“Because we plan to offer many more online ad templates that are customized with the RMAF, we wanted to offer the Textpandable free of charge, so that new users would always have a risk-free way to familiarize themselves with the technology,” noted Gil Lahav, Co-Founder and CEO of snap2eyes.

The Textpandable ad template is showcased on www.textpandable.com, where a simulated Textpandable ad and the corresponding user interface are displayed. The textpandable.com site requires no registration and immediately enables anyone to experiment with each customization option to see how it affects the sample Textpandable displayed nearby. Registered RMAF users will soon be able to create, customize, and receive deployable Textpandables for free, when the RMAF Platform is launched later this month.

Some Database And Subscription-Based Skip Tracing Companies Fraudulent

 

Investigator Warns Consumers on Lookup Scams

PI warns web surfers to avoid fraudulent database and subscription-based skip tracing companies. Ads claiming the ability to locate information via database or subscription service are misleading at best, says Cellulartrace.com CEO Mark McAlpin.

(PRWEB) June 9, 2006 -- Web scams and gimmicks aren’t just reserved to the popular Nigerian Bank account grift, according to investigative company CEO. Cellulartrace.com executive Mark McAlpin issued a warning to consumers Wednesday stating that the bulk of CPC advertisers were not being forthright with the information they were promising consumers.

“When searching the web for a reverse lookup, phone search or email address trace, people are inundated with ads promising such services via database or subscription. In reality they are paying money to search an outdated collectioin of info or purchase a subscription to these "data-less bases." It is fraud of the highest order. People are being led to believe they are getting current information when they are really getting nothing useful at all.” McAlpin stated on the company’s website.

After the media buzz surrounding call records earlier this year, McAlpin says scores of companies or, as he suspects, “the same few companies” replicated with new names wanted to cash in on the popularity of investigative web services. While his attitude seems easy to dismiss as simply opposing the competition, he insists that has nothing to do with it.

“I’m the biggest free-market supporter you’ll find. I welcome competition. If someone thinks they can offer accurate phone searches for less than we can, go ahead—let the market decide. But promising someone a reverse lookup search, taking their money and offering them database rubbish or linking them to another pay site isn’t competitive commerce, it’s fraud.”

He also noted that several companies claiming to perform the type of skip tracing phone search services his company does actually link back to the Cellulartrace.com website after the customer has entered the phone number and paid, creating the illusion that they are somehow affiliated with his site.

McAlpin has a valid point. When we Googled reverse lookup, five of the six sponsored ads were to companies offering database-style searches. As there is no cellular phone number directory, it is difficult to imagine the legitimacy of such offerings. Still, in the interest of fairness we tried three of them.

The first took presented us with an input box, where the number to be searched was entered. After a dramatic pause we were told the info was found. To see it, we had to pay—fair enough. $49 later we were redirected to the reverse lookup searches page of McAlpin’s website.

McAlpin just shook his head. “That’s what these people do. They take your money and pawn you off on someone else. We get a few cancellation requests a day from these company’s customers as they think we have some affiliation with these grifters.”

The other two services also claimed to have found info on the number entered. This time, a subscription for “unlimited” searches had to be purchased. After the money changed hads and the “account” opened, there was suddenly no record of the number. We tried another and another—same result. Finally we entered a few business numbers which the database had. In fact the only numbers the reverse lookup service had seemed to be listed numbers available for free on any number of websites like Infospace.com or AT&T’s AnyWho.com.

“We’d love to have people’s business,” McAlpin admitted. “But more important to the industry and the web is that people are careful not to be taken by cheap promises and empty wording. People need to remember, there is no database for cell numbers or unpublished numbers. Anyone claiming otherwise should be assumed a hustler.”

McAlpin says it is important to realize that there are several legitimate databases available to investigators and such companies are not the target of his ire. His warnings only apply to companies advertising to the public and not selling what they claim.

The Cellulartrace.com website, which offers phone number searches on cellular numbers only, has a series of articles on the fraudulent nature of many cost-per-click advertisers. The series is to conclude with a final piece on 6/21/06.

Program Helps Low-Income Working Build Financial Security

Community Savings Center Celebrates Grand Opening; Thrivent Financial for Lutherans Collaborates to Create Innovative Program Aimed at Helping Low-Income Working Individuals Build Financial Security

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 6, 2006--It's a first of its kind in Illinois and one of only a few in the country. The Community Savings Center on Chicago's west side celebrated a grand opening May 30 with a keynote address by Chicago Mayor Richard Daley.

Thrivent Financial for Lutherans contributed $2.6 million and collaborated with Bethel New Life Inc. and Park National Bank to create the Community Savings Center located at 310 N. Pulaski Road, Chicago. The Center, which opened in January 2006, brings together financial education, accessible and affordable financial products and a network of resources under one roof in order to help low-income working individuals achieve financial security.

"Thrivent Financial is thrilled our idea for this type of collaborative program has come to fruition," said Brad Hewitt, senior vice president of fraternal operations for Thrivent Financial. "Through the Community Savings Center, we are helping people learn how to manage their money, save and build good credit. Thrivent Financial is making a $2.6 million investment in this neighborhood's future because when people get ahead financially, the entire community benefits."

Specifically, Thrivent Financial contributed $1 million for an individual development account (IDA) program called $mart $avers. The program is co-run by Thrivent Financial and Bethel New Life Inc., a Lutheran non-profit agency that started the program in 2000 to help economically disadvantaged families save toward accumulating appreciable assets. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has matched Thrivent Financial's grant with a $1 million grant of its own. An additional $1.6 million will be contributed by Thrivent Financial for operational costs over the next five years.

"Clearly, we would not have been able to do this without our other allies - Park National Bank which opened a branch at the Community Savings Center and Thrivent Financial for Lutherans which is providing $2.6 million to fund the Center's educational programs and services," said Steven McCullough, CEO of Bethel New Life Inc.

$mart $avers, one program offered at the Community Savings Center, combines financial education with a 2:1 savings incentive. Participants are required to enroll in a financial education class to improve their money management skills. After completing the course, every dollar they save is matched. Savings can only be used to purchase a first home, start or expand a small business or finance a post-secondary education. Participation is generally limited to those with household incomes no greater than 200 percent of the poverty line, which equates to income below $40,000 a year for a family of four. Program participants who reach their maximum savings potential will save $2,000 and receive a $4,000 match over the course of a 36-month savings period. If fully utilized, the $2 million in total grants should enable the purchase of 200 new homes, post-secondary education for 120 participants and investments in 60 small businesses.

In its first four months of operation, more than 100 people enrolled in the $mart $avers program have finished the required financial education classes and saved more than $7,600 resulting in $22,800 after the 2:1 match.
