CHICAGO, IL–(Marketwire – September 8, 2010) –  Graham Czach‘s wild creativity and unique versatile sound have earned the Windy City native a nomination for The Deli Chicago’s Artist of the Month. Fans can vote online through September 15 by clicking http://chicago.thedelimagazine.com/snacks.

The socially conscious rocker (www.grahamczach.com) is also teaming up with Planned Parenthood of Illinois (PPIL) to celebrate the official release of his independent debut album Lucid on Friday, October 15 at Martyrs (3855 North Lincoln Ave.) in Chicago. The show begins at 9:30 p.m. Tickets are $12 and may be purchased at www.martyrslive.com or at the door.

With a Chicago Music Award under his belt, the versatile singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist will bring his modern and progressive rock sensibilities to life performing with the album’s original band members: drummer Kris Myers (Umphrey’s McGee), keyboardist Matt Nelson (Lupe Fiasco, Matthew Santos), guitarist Chris Siebold (Howard Levy, Kick the Cat) and bassist Graham Burris (Lupe Fiasco, Matthew Santos).

Czach — whose album includes a powerful song about abortion rights titled “Choice” — is donating a portion of sales generated from the event to PPIL. PPIL’s 17 health centers throughout the state deliver comprehensive reproductive health care services, sex education, and sexual health information to more than 60,000 women, men, and teens each year.

In addition to Planned Parenthood of Illinois, a portion of the proceeds from Lucid is being donated to other non-profit organizations including Greenpeace, the American Cancer Society and the Art of Living Foundation.

As Lucid sheds light on these important social issues and more, Czach draws on a fascinating, diverse musical background — which includes his work with Chicago Afrobeat Project — to create musical landscapes as compelling as the lyrics. He was recently interviewed by Skope Magazine‘s editor Mike Friedman and by Lisa Smith of The Blend Magazine for their Take Action Party surrounding his earth-friendly messages.

Tapping into his childhood where Led Zeppelin, The Beatles and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young were practically a religion, and later influences like Pink Floyd, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Mars Volta and Jimi Hendrix, he infuses hard rocking, sometimes unusually metered grooves to four (and more) part vocal harmonies, beautiful acoustic melodies and vibrant unfolding string arrangements.

MUNDELEIN, IL–(Marketwire – September 8, 2010) –  A little over a year after Medline Industries, Inc., the largest privately held manufacturer and distributor of healthcare supplies in the U.S., completed and opened its new environmentally conscious service facility center in Dubuque, Iowa, the building officially received Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) silver certification.

LEED is an internationally recognized, third party validation system of certification for many buildings. It measures and evaluates design, construction, operation and maintenance solutions. LEED is generally viewed as a trusted benchmark for a building’s impact on the environment.

In order to receive this certification, Medline applied and the building was then evaluated by LEED, who allocated points based on preset green criteria — focusing on energy efficiency and CO₂ reduction. There are seven areas on which LEED evaluated the service facility: sustainability of the site, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality, location and linkages, awareness and education, innovation in design and regional priority. To achieve silver certification, the second highest certification category, the service facility was awarded points that placed them in the 60-79 point range out of a 100-base point system. 

“The building was constructed with the environment and LEED certification in mind,” said Robert Abrams, the Corporate Director who oversaw the project. “Some of the green aspects of the 66,000-square-foot facility are daylight harvesting energy-efficient lighting, solar-tracking skylights, technologically advanced building insulation materials, tankless hot water heaters and a geothermal heating system.”

The installation of these and other green technologies resulted in an electrical use reduction of 320,565 kWh, which avoids more than 230 metric tons of carbon dioxide. This is equivalent to removing the CO₂ emissions from 26,131 gallons of gasoline consumed or 535 barrels of oil consumed. All of this gathered points for certification as well as small things, such as close parking for a Prius, cubical walls made with recycled fabric that traveled less than 500 miles from their manufacturer and energy efficient trash management. 

“I think it demonstrates Medline’s commitment to the environment as a company, and it was important for our customers,” Abrams said. “We’re being asked more and more what we’re doing to reduce our carbon footprint.”

About Medline Industries, Inc. 
Medline, the nation’s largest privately held manufacturer and distributor of healthcare products, manufactures and distributes more than 100,000 products to hospitals, extended-care facilities, surgery centers, home care dealers and agencies. Headquartered in Mundelein, Ill., Medline has more than 900 dedicated sales representatives nationwide to support its broad product line and cost management services.

BOULOGNE-BILLANCOURT, FRANCE–(Marketwire – September 8, 2010) – Cegedim: acquisition of French
company Deskom

Deal allows Cegedim to strengthen its positions in the European invoice
dematerialization market

Paris, September 8, 2010 – Cegedim, a global technology and services
company specializing in the healthcare field, announces the acquisition of
Deskom, a leading French B-to-B invoice dematerialization company. The deal
is an opportunity for Cegedim EDI, its professional electronic data
management department, to build on its leadership in the field.

The Deskom acquisition allows Cegedim EDI, the healthcare data exchange
leader, to move ahead with its strategy of opening its services to all
business sectors and becoming Europe’s top electronic invoicing network,
able to handle any request regardless of invoice volumes, project
complexity, or the number of countries involved.

Created in 2004, Deskom markets a complete range of e-invoicing services,
from invoice digitization and publishing to tax dematerialization and legal
archiving. It has more than 2,000 clients in a wide range of industrial and
service fields: transport, energy, manufacturing, distribution, retail,
automobiles, banking/insurance and services. With a dynamic structure built
on a human scale, Deskom has been experiencing robust revenue growth since
2006.

After ushering Deskom through a robust growth phase, the company’s
shareholders – the Galileo and 123Venture investment funds – have chosen to
pass the torch to Cegedim, an industry shareholder with the know-how to
unlock Deskom’s significant potential.

The first company in France to offer e-invoices authorized by the Direction
Générale des Impôts tax authority in 1992, Cegedim
successfully launched its Global Invoice Services offering in 2005,
available in SAAS delivery. Since then, the company has carried out more
than 150 large-scale dematerialization projects involving close to 50,000
partners in France and in Europe.

“In a rapidly growing market buoyed by companies’ desire to optimize their
processes, cut costs and reduce their environmental impact, this
acquisition gives us the opportunity to put together a comprehensive
offering without precedent with respect to the range of functions and the
staff expertise and resources needed to successfully execute client
projects in France and abroad,” says Arnaud Guyon, Head of Cegedim Group
dematerialization activities.

“The market needs well-established electronic data exchange specialists
with the critical size needed to handle invoice dematerialization and
archiving operations. By joining the Cegedim Group, Deskom is securing its
future and strengthening its position to help its clients and improve its
prospects. It is also an opportunity to expand its service offering to all
types of electronic messages. This link-up will also allow us to create
Europe’s top multi-sector e-invoicing network,” says Cyrille Sautereau,
Director of Deskom.

The deal was finalized on September 6, 2010 by internal financing. These
activities represent annual revenues of around 4 million euros and will be
part of the consolidation scope of Cegedim Group for H2 2010.

DALLAS, TX–(Marketwire – September 2, 2010) –  Metiscan, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: MTIZ) announced today shareholder points of interest discussed during the Company’s nationwide teleconference yesterday. Mr. Bryan A. Scott, President & CEO, and Mr. Brian Hart, COO of Metiscan, provided deeper insight into its subsidiaries’ markets, products, and near term objectives, as well as Metiscan’s pursuit in listing on the OTCBB.

During the Teleconference, Mr. Scott detailed Metiscan’s corporate structure as the parent company of a portfolio of enterprises with operations in healthcare, healthcare IT, mobile technology and employment services. Metiscan manages all aspects of its subsidiaries and is currently pursuing growing its subsidiary Taptopia through technologies that are unique to its products and through acquisitions that complement its subsidiaries’ operations. Metiscan’s four subsidiaries are FirstView EHR, Inc., Taptopia, Inc., Schuylkill Open MRI, Inc. and Shoreline Employment Services, Inc. Mr. Scott further discussed Metiscan’s recent filing of its registration statement and its goal to meet the OTC Market requirements to qualify for the OTCBB market tier.

Mr. Scott also mentioned how Taptopia was founded in July 2009 with the vision of applying new technologies to the $80 Billion convention, trade show and meeting industry that revolutionize the way show managers and event organizers do business. Mr. Scott stated that, “the industry is greatly in need of technologies, more specifically software technologies, that aid exhibitors and attendees to realize more value from their events, as well as aid show managers with tools that help increase attendance and reduce costs.” He also summarized that Taptopia’s goal is to create and roll out new patent protect software technologies, which Taptopia has in its pipeline.

Bryan Hart, COO of Metiscan, mentioned that the Company is trending in a positive manner. Mr. Hart explained how Metiscan realized approximately $2.5M in revenues for year-end 2009, a 144% increase from year-end 2008. During 2010, the Company’s revenues have continued to increase over the last two quarters. Mr. Hart stated, “This quarter alone we experienced a 47% increase in our revenues, or $165,439 from the same period in 2009.” Mr. Hart also mentioned that during the first half of 2010 Metiscan experienced a 16% increase in its revenues, a $194,111 gain. The Company’s overall revenues as of June 30, 2010 were $1,413,490.

Mr. Hart stressed the importance of how digital medical information, specifically the electronic healthcare record systems FirstView administers and Schuylkill Open MRI recently implemented, saves the medical industry time and money. He stated that, “Metiscan strongly believes that storing medical information digitally, and being able to distribute it electronically, is a great cost savings by itself.” Mr. Hart also mentioned that last year $19 billion in the stimulus package targeted physicians to use electronic health record systems because EHR technology cuts costs, eliminates paperwork and helps doctors deliver high quality, coordinated care to patients. Mr. Hart explained that this will benefit Metiscan both for its imaging center as it relates to the benefit of the operational efficiencies EHR provides, and for FirstView as it relates to the professional Healthcare IT services it provides.

Mr. Hart explained how Metiscan demonstrated positive income from operations during the first half of 2010 totaling $184,464. Mr. Hart mentioned that Metiscan has constantly been focused on increasing operational efficiencies in all of its subsidiaries. Mr. Hart gave the example of how Schuylkill Open MRI moved towards more economical service contracts for maintaining all of its MRI equipment in its diagnostic imaging center and recently implemented a new EHR system. With FirstView, Mr. Hart said it reduced costs related to operating its data center and the amount of personnel needed for its billing and collection activities. He summarized his discussion on Metiscan’s subsidiaries, pointing out that Shoreline, its employment services division, has focused on economies of scale as it relates to personnel resources and benefits.

In closing, Mr. Scott stated, “We are very excited about our business activities here at Metiscan. We have great expectations for our company and our team believes in its future. We have been successful in building a company that is displaying both financial growth and innovation in new products and technologies.”

A recording of Metiscan’s nationwide teleconference will be available on the Company’s website at: www.metiscan.com within the next few days.

The Company expects to end the month with gross revenue of $90,000 to $100,000 with the knowledge of pending checks on the way.

None of the insurance company and Medicare could recognize those clients to issue payments. Most of the issues have been resolved and checks are being issued to those clients now.
