Gaithersburg, MD (Vocus) October 21, 2008

Raxco Software, the leader in enterprise disk defragmentation (http://www. perfectdisk. com/) software, today announced that PC Magazine has listed PerfectDisk (http://www. perfectdisk. com/small_medium/small_perfectdisk_professional. cfm)® 2008 Professional in its Make Vista Great, Part 3 feature (http://tinyurl. com/5d64j6)], which addresses Vista performance and stability. The article mentions that PerfectDisk addresses the speed, ease-of-use, and thoroughness problems associated with the Vista built-in Disk Defragmenter utility.

This article points out that the speed of a user's hard drive has significant impact on PC performance and stability, and states that defragmenting can help. It goes on to indicate that Vista's defragmenter leaves much to be desired. "PerfectDisk does a much better job than Vista's Defrag (http://www. perfectdisk. com/small_medium/small_perfectdisk_professional. cfm) tool at keeping your hard disk fast and healthy, which ends up making Vista faster and healthier," David Karp states in the article. "PerfectDisk pays specific attention to contiguous free space, which speeds up the writing of new files and reduces future fragmentation."

"We're extremely pleased that PC Magazine has recognized PerfectDisk as a vital tool to help make Vista faster and more stable," said Joe Abusamra, vice president of operations at Raxco Software. "Millions of Vista users around the world have added PerfectDisk to their toolset to improve the Vista experience, and this acknowledgment from a publication with PC Magazine's stature reaffirms these Vista users have made the right decision.."

Bay Colony Corporate Center Receives LEED Silver Certification - UGL Unicco LEED Accredited Professionals Support the Process

Bay Colony Corporate Center Receives LEED Silver Certification - UGL Unicco LEED Accredited Professionals Support the Process

Bay Colony Corporate Center has received the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver designation from the U. S. Green Building Council for the entire four-building campus. UGL Unicco LEED Accredited Professionals provided project management and consulting services to help the property manager, Broadway Real Estate Services, move through the accreditation process.

Waltham, Mass. (PRWEB) February 18, 2010

Bay Colony Corporate Center has received the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver designation from the U. S. Green Building Council for the entire four-building campus. UGL Unicco LEED Accredited Professionals provided project management and consulting services to help the property manager, Broadway Real Estate Services, move through the accreditation process.

Beyond what it says about the property's environmental standing and management practices, the designation is significant since it is one of only a few commercial real estate campuses nationwide that has achieved LEED for Existing Building status for an entire campus. The property consists of three 4-story buildings and one 3-story building totaling 980,000 square feet situated on 58 acres.

LEED for Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintenance certification sets standards, and measures sustainability under several categories such as: sustainable sites, including landscape management and light pollution; water efficiency; energy and atmosphere; materials and resources, including solid waste management and sustainable purchasing; indoor environmental quality; and innovations in operations.

UGL Unicco provided LEED-AP certified professionals who are experienced in helping building owners and managers progress through the LEED certification process. They helped Broadway Real Estate Services benchmark their operations against the directives, select the processes that required modifications, develop Gap analyses, design mitigation programs, implement the changes, and measure and report the results.

UGL Unicco GreenClean®, the company's industry-leading service that utilizes the most environmentally advanced cleaning products and procedures, enabled Bay Colony to easily qualify for the green cleaning credits available under the certification process.

"This is a major accomplishment that makes a premier, award-winning property even more attractive to our current and prospective tenants," commented Brian Barriero, Portfolio Manager, Broadway Real Estate Services. "UGL Unicco guided us through the process by helping us translate LEED requirements into action. We relied on their expertise and benefited from their knowledge of LEED procedures, as well as their cleaning and operations expertise."

Scientology Churches and Missions Celebrate 60th Anniversary of Dianetics the Modern Science of Mental Health

Scientology Churches and Missions Celebrate 60th Anniversary of Dianetics the Modern Science of Mental Health

Scientologists mark a new era for Dianetics at events in Scientology Churches and Missions around the world -- tens of thousands attend.

New York, NY (Vocus) May 29, 2010

Tens of thousands of Scientologists attended events in every Scientology Church and Mission this month. The outstanding Dianetics auditors, groups and booksellers in each zone were awarded in the celebration of the 60 years since the first publication of Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health by L. Ron Hubbard. The anniversary also marked the greatest expansion of Dianetics in history, with more than 4,500 Dianetics Groups around the world and record numbers of visitors to the Dianetics website from more than 20,000 cities in 214 nations. Since its first publication May 9, 1950, more than 21.8 million copies of Dianetics have been sold.

The Dianetics boom started in March 2009 when Mr. David Miscavige, ecclesiastical leader of the Scientology religion, announced the completion of a project to place Dianetics and 17 other hardback Scientology and Dianetics titles, published in 16 languages, in more than 97,000 libraries--every national, city and university lending library in the world. Then, to open the subject up to 90 percent of the world's population, that same month Dianetics and eight other beginning Dianetics and Scientology books were published in paperback editions in 50 languages.

With Dianetics more accessible than ever in history, in June 2009 Mr. Miscavige released "How to Use Dianetics," a film that revolutionized the subject. In four and one-half hours, the film covers the Dianetics book in such detail that those watching are able to immediately put Dianetics technology to use. As Mr. Miscavige announced to an international audience of Scientologists, "These films are not about Dianetics. Rather, they are films of Dianetics."

The film is the centerpiece of the new Dianetics Seminar, offered in Scientology Churches, Missions and Dianetics groups on five continents.

At the seminar, with the guidance of trained Dianetics supervisors, attendees pair up to apply Dianetics to each other, using the information they have just learned. The book and film are so descriptive of Dianetics procedure, those living far from a Scientology Church or Mission can watch the film on their own, read the book and begin to use the technology at home, and many do.

The application of Dianetics technology to another is called "auditing" from the Latin word audire, "to listen." "My last year has been a complete hell," wrote one person who decided to attend a Dianetics seminar and receive auditing to sort this out. "I had so many things hidden inside. Now that I got everything off my chest, I feel extremely relieved."

"I feel revitalized," said another seminar participant. "I have much better understanding and compassion for people who are struggling with pain and loss on a daily basis and don't even realize it."

A significant aspect of the Dianetics seminar is that while receiving help, one learns to help another. "Wow! It was a great experience to assist someone to get through a painful event," said an attendee. "To see the person brighten up is so amazing."

With Dianetics gaining popularity from Katmandu, Nepal, to Kiisi, Kenya, and from Almaty, Kazakhstan to Bergamo, Italy, last year a record-breaking 3.7 million hours of Dianetics auditing were delivered internationally.
