2012-12-12

CLEVELAND, OH, December 12, 2012 (Press-News.org) Just in time for the holiday season, Recess Creative, a Cleveland based digital advertising and marketing agency, has launched HolidayGram a new social photo sharing app for iPhone and iPod touch.

"HolidayGram is the first app that's focused on creating custom holiday cards that you can share via facebook, twitter, email or by paper postcard," said Chris Jungjohann, Managing Partner and COO of Recess Creative.

The application allows user to take or choose photos from their iOS device, add elements of holiday cheer, apply borders, photo filters and even add a custom message. Then, the photos can be shared over social media channels or even sent via U.S. Mail.

"Users are changing the way they connect and share online," said Tim Zeller, Managing Partner and CCO of Recess Creative. "Every day, people are posting holiday messages and notes on social media sites. And we thought why not create something cool that can add to their overall message?"

HolidayGram also houses a Social Stream - a virtual catalog of all of the public HolidayGrams created through the application. Users have the option to share their holiday creations publicly on the Social Stream or they can keep them private on their device.

"And the best part is the app will expand to other holidays," Jungjohann said. "It's the app that keeps on giving year-round. We've already started an update for Valentine's Day."

HolidayGram costs $.99 and is now available at the App Store.

According to the Miami Herald, five of the nation's biggest banks have provided $3.6 billion in mortgage relief to burdened Florida homeowners as a part of the National Mortgage Settlement Agreement. Ally Financial, Bank of America, Citicorp, JP Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo collectively agreed to the settlement earlier this year with the federal government and attorney generals in 49 states.

Hospitals in New Jersey Step Up to Test Athletes for Brain Injuries

2012-12-12

As advanced as many forms of medical treatment have become, personal injury victims still face challenges with full diagnosis and adequate long-term treatment for many conditions. Perhaps the foremost problematic type of injury is head trauma, due largely to the unpredictable nature of harm to the human brain and the possibility that symptoms are not always immediately recognizable. Every American sports fan has become acutely aware of the persistent problems that can result from concussions, which are the most common form of traumatic brain injury. As governing bodies ...

Extension of NTSB Info-Sharing Policy Should Enhance Aviation Safety

2012-12-12

Ongoing efforts to improve airline safety to reduce plane crashes and other accidents that harm or kill passengers must come from all sectors of the industry. Federal regulators, company managers and employees all have exclusive areas of insight that can lead to safer operations. A recent announcement by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), airlines and unions is based on the benefits of sharing more information about mishaps and perceived risks. These key groups have all agreed to expand disclosures to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) to help that ...

Tennessee's Busy Highways Provide Ripe Landscape for Trucking Accidents

2012-12-12

Motorists need to be particularly aware of large trucks when traversing the nation's roadways, especially along busy commercial routes such as I-40, I-24 and I-65 in Tennessee. After all, a negligent or inattentive truck driver operating a several ton vehicle at such high speeds can easily cause serious, or even deadly, trucking accidents. Fortunately for other motorists, the Department of Transportation (DOT) requires those with commercial drivers' licenses to get medical physicals every two years in order to keep their licenses. Given the physical demands of driving ...

Medical Marijuana in Florida: is it a Possibility?

2012-12-12

After the legalization of recreational marijuana use in Colorado and Washington in the 2012 election, Florida residents may be wondering about similar laws passing in Florida. Florida's legislature has considered the legalization of marijuana for medicinal purposes in the past but those bills have never made it very far in either the state's house or senate. After the 2012 election, the Florida Cannabis Action Network made plans to meet with Florida's attorney general to advocate for the reclassification of marijuana -- changing it so that is recognized as having medicinal ...

New Louisiana Informant Law Leads to Prisoner Release

2012-12-12

Last year, Louisiana adopted a law that allows judges to reduce the prison sentences of inmates who provide information that helps resolve unsolved crimes. In November, Jefferson Parish officials released information about a former Angola inmate who was the first to be released under the new law. The law creates the potential for reduced sentences for inmates who provide "substantial assistance" to prosecutors. A similar program has been available for years to people incarcerated for federal crimes. The man who was released had been serving a life sentence ...

2012-12-12

According to Hand-free Info's website, 96 percent of Michigan drivers acknowledge that texting and driving is dangerous behavior; however, approximately 17 percent of these motorists say that they read texts while behind the wheel. Unfortunately, the desire to be connected often seems to outweigh traffic safety.

According to the Department of Transportation, the problem appears to ...

Pennsylvania Study Highlights Nurse Fatigue and Infection Risk

2012-12-12

A recent study out of the Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing casts light on a serious problem in American healthcare. Thousands of nurses studied showed high levels of burnout or fatigue, which can lead to otherwise preventable medical errors with potentially life-threatening consequences. The study's researchers surveyed more than 7,000 registered nurses in 161 Pennsylvania hospitals. They combined that data with information about those facilities' rates of hospital-acquired infections from the Pennsylvania ...

Medical Malpractice Claims in the Wake of Missouri Decision Striking Down Damage Caps

2012-12-12

Caps on medical malpractice awards were part of an aggressive tort reform platform in the mid-2000's. One rationale behind the damage cap legislation was to lower insurance premiums in an effort to attract and keep physicians. Unfortunately, even after states passed damage caps, liability insurance premiums did not decrease and the caps have harsh unintended consequences for some injured by the negligence of medical professionals. In 2005, Missouri passed legislation capping non-economic damages at $350,000. Non-economic damage awards compensate victims for pain and ...
