PASADENA, CA, January 16, 2011 (Press-News.org) TJA, Inc. closed out it first year of operation with unprecedented records in charitable flights. Founded in late August 2010, the four month old company flew over 90 missions in their King Air C90GTx, clocking in over 300 hours of donated flight time, and absorbing over $300K in costs. The company is on track for contributing over $2.5 million in resources in 2011 in support of its charitable mission.
Currently TJA is partnered with Grace Flight and Veterans Airlift Command (VAC), two organizations that work with those in need to provide air transportation when conventional transportation is not an option. The goals TJA has set for 2011 include working with VAC in a greater capacity in order to help service the growing need for assisting our men and women in uniform. Part of the expansion efforts includes the acquisition of a 2011 jet, estimated purchase price of $12MM, with significantly greater flight range capabilities than the 2010 King Air C90GTx, they currently use, for all their missions TJA is currently in negotiations with two manufacturers and expects to make a decision by the end of the month. The new plane will allow Mr. Jacobson and his crew to fly patients from or to Texas across the United States without having to stop for fuel, shortening the travel time significantly. With the addition of this new plane, TJA will be able to increase the number of flights, increase passenger capacity, and provide Grace Flight and VAC with another valuable resource to help them carry out their missions.
TJA has consistently received support from Destin Jet Center located in Florida. In an effort to help TJA, Destin Jet Center provides a significant discount on fuel. "Destin Jet has been amazing to work with. They run a beautiful, top of the line facility, with experienced and courteous staff. When you are spending all of your days, and resources, helping others, it is worth recognizing those who are in the background helping you make it happen," says Grant Jacobson, founder of TJA.
The first half of 2011 promises to be an exciting one for Texas Jacobson Aviation as they continue to grow as a company and reach out to as many of those in need as they can serve. The arrival of the new plane is scheduled for March of this year and TJA will be looking to expand their charitable efforts by partnering with other organizations who want to help make a difference in the lives of those men, women, and children whose medical solution may only be a flight away.

Cooperation Essential as Divorcing Couples Face Foreclosure
2011-01-16
Dividing up the equity in their house used to be a fairly straightforward activity for many couples in a divorce. The house was often their major asset, and the question typically was two-fold: Which spouse gets the house, and how much property does the other spouse in exchange for giving up his or her interest in such a valuable asset.
The slide in the real estate market in recent years has reshaped that old scenario considerably. In many cases today, the house is viewed not as an asset, but as a liability. In this new environment, property division issues have become ...

Who is Linda Green? A Case of Foreclosure Fraud
2011-01-16
Many people look at the foreclosure crisis in one of two ways:
Distressed homeowners, unable to make their mortgage payments and facing foreclosure, should now face the reality of having made a poor borrowing decision.
But prior to the crisis, mortgage lenders were all-too-happy to make subprime loans, and banks packaged these loans into investments that were bought and sold with little regard to the risk of default.
Whether you agree or not, one thing is clear: the banks and mortgage companies continue to push home foreclosures. And many are breaking the law in ...
Slow NYC Emergency Response After Snowstorm
2011-01-16
Ice and snow conditions in New York increased the chances of snow related deaths - some, possibly, preventable. Apparently, New York was unprepared for the blizzard. City officials ignored blizzard warnings and then refused to call a snow emergency.
Throughout the blizzard and the aftermath, stories have been circulating about people who suffered wrongful deaths and serious medical problems while waiting for ambulances to reach them.
"The City's emergency response system dealt with a tremendous number of calls in the days after the blizzard, but if officials could ...

TBI in Texas: A Potentially Life-Changing Injury
2011-01-16
In 2009, 16-year-old Gabriel Edwards did not expect anything out-of-ordinary to happen during his football practice at Johnson High School in San Antonio. He certainly did not expect to receive a traumatic brain injury (TBI) during practice - an injury his own brother had sustained and recovered from six years earlier.
But that is precisely what happened to Edwards when he joined his high school football team on the field that day. After receiving a particularly hard blow to the head, Edwards was rushed to the hospital. His injury resulted in a subdural hematoma, or ...
