(PRWEB) October 7, 2005

Royal Vegas Poker has re-launched their already popular poker room and the results have been tremendous. The new look website boasts a cleaner, more modern feel and appearance, and the site’s navigation has been stepped up to ensure a smooth and easy-to use interface.

The website redesign has proved to be very appealing to younger gamers who are enthralled by the many tournaments and charity campaigns that are on offer at Royal Vegas Poker (http://www.royalvegaspoker.com). The site is affiliated with the reliable and reputable Prime Poker network which means prize pools are bigger due to the increased amount of traffic on the network.

“A new look at the site led us to develop a strategy which ensures that players are getting more information at a glance when they land on our homepage. The registration process is clearer too, and much easier so that the user can now download while they surf our site,” says Lou Krieger, well-known poker legend and host of Royal Vegas Poker.

Players can now enjoy poker without any fuss and they’ll enjoy the great services that offered to them on the new site. One can now request forgotten passwords using the simple Password Retrieval system, which makes life so much easier.

The site has been designed to alleviate any stress that gamers may feel while playing at Royal Vegas Poker and the new website allows players to access any help that they may need while playing poker – the best sport around. Now the 24-hour, live support functions, Virtual Tour of the poker room, Alternative Purchasing methods and a nifty, little personal assistant called the Personal Poker Messenger can all be found on the homepage. This makes the player’s experience more enjoyable and less stressful when trying to participate in the tournaments on offer.

Although winning poker is not easy – it requires discipline, skill, and effort – your online registration process should be easy, convenient and as simple as possible. Royal Vegas Poker’s redesigned website was done in response to player suggestions, and will keep you returning to the best poker you can find online.

Kane Cochran (PRWEB) March 26, 2003 -

For Immediate Release        CONTACT:9723 xt. 11

Troy, Ohio – March 24, 2003 – In response to the American Red Cross “Quality-of-Life” campaign, Pal Productions, Inc. has donated over 1,000 USA Trip 50 card games to the Northern Miami Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross, to be sent to United States Armed Forces serving overseas.

The USA Trip 50 card games will be distributed to areas such as Afghanistan, Kuwait and military aircraft carriers serving in the Middle East.

“We are very proud of our armed forces and are happy to find a way to let them know that we appreciate their bravery, effort and sacrifices,” said Pal Productions, Inc. Vice President Kane Cochran.

USA Trip 50, a rummy-style card game based around the geography of the United States, was created by Pal Productions in 1982. “Many of our U.S. troops have been overseas and away from their families for extended periods of time. Since USA Trip 50 is based on the United States, we hope the games will provide both a touch of home and fun for our U.S. troops,” said Cochran.

The shipment of USA Trip 50 games is expected to leave Ohio soon and arrive in the Middle East in less than a month.

ABOUT USA TRIP 50®

USA Trip 50 is the original and best state connecting card game. It is played like the old favorite rummy-type card games – but with a twist! From the cards dealt them, each player chooses a secret “takeoff” state as the base to begin their “Trip of CardsTM ” across the USA. Players then draw, pickup and discard until one player connects all his cards in a continuous chain of states and goes “Trip 50.” There are over 50 ways to play USA Trip 50 – Hearts, Rummy, Poker, Euchre and more.

And, there is a bonus! Since USA Trip 50 was created by using the four standard suits of a regular card deck, players can use these unique cards to play any regular card game.

ABOUT PAL PRODUCTIONS, INC.

Pal Productions, Inc. is dedicated to “bringing geography to the world” through its products USA Trip 50® and World 7® card games and the USA Trip 50 & World 7 Solitaire® CD-ROM. Founded in 1982, Pal Productions has produced and distributed card games for over 20 years. Their products have won awards including the prestigious 2002 Parents’ Choice Silver Award for USA Trip 50 & World 7 Solitaire. Visit http://www.palproductions.com to learn more.

Motoman DIA10 Dual-Arm Robot

Marion, OH (PRWEB) July 19, 2011

Ohio-based robot company and Motoman Solution Provider, RobotWorx, has announced its intention to promote dual arm robot sales. The integrator plans to educate customers about the unique capabilities of this relatively new design, and offer accessible, reconditioned models for integration into assembly and handling cells.

“All too often, dual-arm robots suffer from typecasting. They’re fun and human-like. You see them at tradeshows playing blackjack or pouring drinks,” RobotWorx President Jarrod Bichon said. “It’s time for companies to start understanding the incredible potential of dual-arm robots in real life industrial applications.”

Motoman Robotics, the primary manufacturer of industrial dual-arm robots, has perfected the design. Motoman dual-arm robots have evolved from the DA series, to the DIA series, and most recently the SDA (Slim, Dual-Arm) robot series.

Motoman SDA robots feature 15 axes of movement, seven in each arm and one in the slender base. Extremely robust, the SDA robots are capable of high-speed execution of a wide variety of applications including assembly, packing, and tending. Dual-arm robot design provides unique capabilities because the arms can be programmed to work separately or collaboratively.

As a Motoman Solution Provider, RobotWorx is able to support and integrate any dual-arm robot, whether it is a new or gently used model. RobotWorx currently has a reconditioned Motoman DIA10 robot in the shop. This forerunner of the new SDA10 is flexible, quick, and perhaps most importantly, low cost. Bichon hopes to bring dual arm robot technology to more users by offering more reconditioned dual-arm models like the DIA10.

“At RobotWorx we want to open up opportunities for companies that might not otherwise even consider this type of new technology,” Bichon said. “Dual-arm robots don’t have to be remain out of reach.”

About RobotWorx:

RobotWorx is an integrator of industrial robotics located in Marion, Ohio. Founded in 1992, RobotWorx specializes in building custom robot systems for companies in a variety of industries including aerospace, automotive, consumer goods, and plastics. RobotWorx is a FANUC Authorized System Integrator, Motoman Solution Provider, and KUKA Robotics Partner. To learn more about RobotWorx visit http://www.robots.com.

Altamonte Springs, FL (PRWEB) October 12, 2010

Problem gambling is prevalent among 17.4% of the arrestee population in Tampa, Florida according to a new feasibility study sponsored and issued today by the Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling (FCCG), the statewide advocate on gambling addiction.

The study, Gambling, Problem Gambling, and Criminality in an Arrestee Population, authored by Drs. Louis Lieberman and Mary Cuadrado, confirmed the presence of gambling problems among a significant percentage of detainees at the Orient Road Jail in Hillsborough County. The report further revealed that the Lie/Bet Screen, comprised of only two-questions, can reasonably estimate the prevalence of problem gambling among offenders at the initial stage of the criminal justice system.

According to Pat Fowler, Executive Director of the FCCG, “Most problem gambling studies have been completed while offenders are imprisoned. The new study, which is a first in the state and among a first in the nation, revealed the importance of screening individuals at the booking stage. It showed how asking two simple questions, known as the Lie/Bet Screen (i.e., Have you ever felt the need to bet more and more money? and Have you ever had to lie to people important to you about how much you gambled?) can enable law enforcement authorities in identifying individuals with gambling problems from the outset. A positive response to one or both questions is indicative of a gambling problem. Identification of any factors related to criminal activity at the earliest stage of contact (i.e., booking) with the individual is crucial if intervention is intended to impact the greatest number of people. This is due to a phenomenon known as the “funnel effect” where the number of individuals lessens the further one moves through the criminal justice process.”

It should be noted that the Lie/Bet was not developed in order to replace established diagnostic tools used in the field of gambling addiction, such as the South Oaks Gambling Screen and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders of the American Psychiatric Association. The Lie/Bet was devised as a means of providing an easy to use tool (even by those not trained in mental health work) that is highly reliable in identifying individuals who are likely in need of additional and more thorough intervention (including diagnosis).

“This study is a testament to the commitment and leadership of the Florida Lottery in recognizing the importance of this research and providing the funding, alongside the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, which established the protocols that enabled the researchers and interviewers to access and gather the required data. Further, the University of South Florida’s Graduate Program assisted the FCCG in recruiting three graduate students in criminology to conduct the interviews. It is precisely this type of joint cooperative effort that made this groundbreaking study possible,” added Fowler.

“It should be noted that while this is a calculation of the problem gamblers among an offender population in Tampa, there is no reason to assume that these findings in Hillsborough County would be any different for any other large urban area throughout the state. The similarity of these findings to those found within Las Vegas support this contention. Moreover, the large percentage of offenders identified in this study as problem or pathological gamblers indicates there is a need to provide intervention. Similarly, as responses are self-reported and typically detainees are reluctant to provide this type of information, the findings should be reviewed strictly as conservative measures. Also, as the Lie/Bet Screen was never intended as a full diagnostic device, but rather as a convenient first line screening device, it may not adequately classify individuals in the early development stages of problematic gambling,” explained the study’s co-researcher and co-author, Dr. Mary Cuadrado.

The study, performed in one major metropolitan area of the state, estimated that more than 10,000 arrestees had gambling problems at the time of arrest. Given that most people who come into contact with the criminal justice system do not wind up going to prison demonstrates how early detection can provide intervention and potential diversion, which could ultimately reduce recidivism rates and lower costs to the state.

Upon examining the types of crimes most often committed by problem gamblers, the study determined that the Lie/Bet Positive gamblers were more likely than those without a gambling problem to be charged with a felony. The most frequent charge identified in the current arrest was for property and drug crimes (31% and 22.8% respectively). Similarly, the most recent national prevalence study (NORC, 1999), as well as general population prevalence studies conducted in Florida by the FCCG among adults (Shapira, Ferguson, Frost-Pineda & Gold, 2002a) and adolescents (2002b) indicate that problem gamblers are more likely to report being arrested than non-problem gamblers. The new study raises the question of whether those with drug and gambling problems should be assigned to a separate gambling court that specializes in these problems or one that combines gambling and substance abuse, which is among one of the study’s recommendations. It also suggests the institutionalization of gambling prevention and treatment programs to prevent further decline for problem gamblers.

“The Department would like to thank everyone involved with this research project,” said Florida Department of Corrections Secretary Walt McNeil. “Last year, 37,509 inmates completed their prison sentences and were released into our communities. By addressing the behavior that sent them to prison, inmates are more likely to live crime free lives upon release making our communities safer.”

Another study recommendation outlined the importance of education and training and noted the FCCG’s program for law enforcement, probation, and correctional authorities. A Chance for Change: Gambling Addiction & Crime is a training guide for legal, criminal justice and court professionals. The Program addresses the growing impacts of gambling addiction on crime and outlines common challenges and solutions. It further identifies viable and innovative approaches and alternatives to incarceration, restitution and rehabilitation for compulsive gamblers engaging in illegal activities and is available free of charge to any Florida based organization, institution, or professional. Interested persons need only contact the statewide HelpLine (888-ADMIT-IT) to obtain a free copy.

“It’s certainly valuable to identify factors that may have contributed to criminal activity,” said Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) Tampa Bay Special Agent in Charge Jim Madden. “The primary goal in public safety is to try to prevent criminal activity from occurring as well as to put in place the right resources to prevent future incidents.”

“Finally, the study concluded that 32.7% of the arrestee population identified as gamblers, per positive responses to the Lie/Bet Screen, should be referred for further assessment, diagnosis and/or treatment. We now have the ability to implement an early identification strategy that can reduce individual and family hardship, potentially lower recidivism rates and criminal justice costs, and provide services to offenders in need of assistance for a gambling problem. It’s a win-win strategy for law enforcement, governments, communities, and society as a whole,” concluded Paul R. Ashe, Esq. and President of the FCCG’s Board of Directors.

Data was collected on 1,445 arrestees over a 3-month period using the Lie/Bet Questionnaire, in which 959 arrestees agreed to volunteer this information (Volunteers). Additional booking data on the total sample of 1,445 was obtained via the Sheriff’s Office public access website. Interviews were conducted by trained graduate students from the University of South Florida’s Criminology Department and their supervisor who worked in shifts to maximize the kinds of arrest conditions from early morning to late at night covering a sample of each day throughout a week. Interviews were conducted in a private area out of the hearing of the other arrestees and staff. A Spanish version of the questionnaire was available for interviewers to use if necessary. Both questionnaires were pre-tested and modified prior to final approval. The time estimate for each interview was generally only about five minutes since much of the data was obtained or verified at the Sheriff’s website. (See Executive Summary and complete study for additional information, including questionnaires.)

Chatroulette Alternative Site ChatRandom.com Makes Webcam Chat Fun Again

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 20, 2011

A new webcam chat feature on ChatRandom improves on the original concept of Chatroulette. With this new feature, users of the site can watch multiple people or have multiple people watch those same users simultaneously. ChatRandom’s Chatroulette Alternative also offers social features such as Facebook chat which make it easy for users to communicate on the site.

According to Allen Fox, the PR Director of ChatRandom, this feature allows users to meet multiple strangers at once which provides users, “a more engaging experience than the original Chatroulette website.”

Hailed as an alternative to “chat roulette,” ChatRandom was designed to provide webcam chat that allows users around the world to break the ice with each other. Most other social dating sites charge users a fee to use their services, but with ChatRandom’s Chatroulette there are no fees to use the site and there is no sign-up or registration required either.

To try the new features, users just have to click a button and start interacting with random girls and guys. Users of ChatRandom never know what they might discover next and many users find new friends online or their next webcam chat romance.

In explaining how users would be able to use Chatrandom to meet people for free webcam chat, Allen noted that no matter users’ interest, “they will find the new feature an amazing boredom killer, because users are actually talking to someone live on the other side of the world with the click of one button.”

Houston, Texas (PRWEB) October 3, 2008

Following an active year of expanding product lines, new office openings across the US and increase in workforce, Pileco Inc. received one of the most prestigious awards in the Houston business community — the Houston Business Journal’s Fastest 100 Award.

In a ceremony held Friday, September 26, and among an audience of peers representing a number of different industries within the Houston business community, the company was named seventh among Houston’s fastest growing and economically strong companies.

This award is celebrated just after news of a new state of the art BAUER manufacturing facility Pileco is developing in Conroe in conjunction with its partner and parent company BAUER Maschinen GmbH, scheduled to open in phases in 2009, was reported in both the Houston Business Journal and the Houston Chronicle. Company representatives say it is an exciting time and attribute their success to a “back to the basics” approach to business.

“We have always strongly believed in empowering our employees and giving them ‘ownership’ roles in the company. We know that a company is only as strong and has only the potential as those working at every level within it. This award is a tribute to our employees,” said Pileco President George Smith.

“Our expansive network of dealers and quality product lines also enable us to meet changing foundation equipment needs and serve as a complete resource within the foundation construction and oil and gas industries,” Smith added.

This past year Pileco announced expansion within its lines of diesel and vibratory hammers, as well as the addition of a new air hammer. The exclusive distributor of BAUER products in the western hemisphere, Pileco also showcased the new BG-12H drilling rig and new state of the art manufacturing facility in Conroe — which will enable expanding manufacturing efforts of custom fabricated interchangeable drilling tools and accessories.

The company is also the distributor of Vulcan, IHC, RTG, MAT and BETEK products throughout the northeastern United States and Mexico. They have offices in Texas, California, Florida and Panama.

The Fastest 100 Award is sponsored by the Houston Business Journal, honoring 100 of the fastest growing companies in Houston. The businesses are ranked according to their past two-year growth. They are required to be headquartered in the Houston area and at least five years old.
