Carolina Panthers Draft NextVault for Protecting Critical Team Data

Sudbury, MA & Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) November 15, 2011

NextVault CEO, Kevin Harris, announced today that NFL football team Carolina Panthers have entered into a multi-year agreement for data backup, archiving and disaster recovery services. We are very excited about the new relationship and expect it to be mutually successful and long lasting, commented Harris.

Panthers Director of Information Technology, Jon Credit, has wanted to deploy online backup services for the team for some time but could not find the right solution at the right price for the team. A creative partnership between NextVault and the Panthers granted Credit’s wishes and made this partnership a reality. NextVault has entered into a sponsorship deal with the team to utilize marketing and advertising services from the team while providing NextVaults comprehensive online data backup solution for nearly thirty servers.

NextVault EVP, Bud Stoddard, engineered the creative partnership based on a successful track record with several NFL teams in previous years. Sports franchises have large amounts of mission critical data and tape backup can no longer adequately protect that data, said Stoddard.

Maui Wowi Hawaiian Coffees and Smoothies Says Aloha to Their Newest Franchisee in North Carolina

Posted on by


Greenwood Village, CO (PRWEB) November 16, 2011

Maui Wowi Hawaiian Coffees and Smoothies, http://www.mauiwowifranchise.com, welcome their newest Franchisee, Paul Harrison, and his wife Martha as they begin to spread the Aloha Spirit in North Carolina. The Harrison’s, who purchased their Maui Wowi agreement from an existing Franchisee, Dave Cerrillos, are excited to bring the tastes of the islands to the Piedmont Triad area, which includes Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and High Point.

We have worked along side the Cerrillos and got to know the Maui Wowi brand. All of our experiences with them were positive so it was a pretty natural fit for us, explained Paul.

Paul and Martha have owned a Ben & Jerrys Franchise and tried for years to become a vendor inside the Greensboro Coliseum but to no avail. Until one day, they learned the owners of an already established Maui Wowi Hawaiian, with several mobile carts in the coliseum, were selling their business. It was then that Paul took a chance and decided to start a new adventure.

The coliseum business represents a good, stable business with great, consistent events. By being local, we will be able to grow the business beyond where it is today, said Paul.

Their empire agreement will allow Paul and Martha to build their business to new heights by working a myriad of events and venues. With Marthas managerial experience from their other businesses, and Pauls finance background, working for eight years with Krispy Kreme and as the CFO of Deweys Bakery, the skys the limit and their list of opportunities is endless.

About Maui Wowi Hawaiian Coffees & Smoothies:

Before the days of big Hawaiian resort hotels and fiberglass surfboards, surfers spent long, lazy days partaking in the tasty waves of the North Shore beaches. As the legends of the surfers grew, many were drawn to the healthy, carefree lifestyle of Hawaii. Since 1982, Maui Wowi Hawaiian has been spreading the Aloha Spirit across the world with its premium Hawaiian coffees, all-natural fresh fruit smoothies and authentic Hawaiian products. From event carts, mall kiosks and stand-alone retail locations, Maui Wowi Hawaiian operates 575 locations worldwide.

South Carolina Nursing Home Abuse Attorney Calls for Alerts, Increased Security When Sexual Predators Move Into Nursing Homes

Posted on by
Reply


Columbia, S.C. (PRWEB) March 01, 2012

Reacting to a Charleston TV stations recent report, South Carolina nursing home abuse attorney Bert Louthian said today that the states nursing homes should alert residents and their families when a registered sex offender moves into the facility.

Louthian also said that nursing home operators need to take more steps to guard against sexual abuse in long-term care facilities.

Sexual abuse in nursing homes poses a grave threat to residents, Louthian said. Placing known sex offenders in a facility without issuing alerts or installing safeguards increases the risk that a resident will become a victim of nursing home sexual abuse.

Louthians Columbia personal injury law firm, The Louthian Law Firm, P.A., represents nursing home abuse and neglect victims across South Carolina.

He was reacting to report on Charlestons WCSC Live 5 News. The report revealed that at least three registered sex offenders are living in Charleston area nursing homes.

There is no state law requiring facility managers to notify residents and their families or guardians about their presence. According to the report, the only way to find out if a sex offender resides at a long-term care facility is to check the address on South Carolinas sex offender registry.

Thats not enough, Louthian said.

To better protect residents from sexual predators, nursing home operators need to provide active, written notifications before a sex offender arrives at the facility, he said.

If a sex offender is placed at a home, management must install adequate security measures to keep other residents safe from any potential abuse threat, he said.

According to A Perfect Cause, an Oklahoma-based nursing home safety advocacy group, there are more than 2,000 sex offenders living in nursing homes across the country.

The group told WCSC Live 5 News that it has documented more than 80 instances where sex offenders have committed rape, assault and murder while residing in U.S. long-term care facilities.

Its not a question of if; its already happened. The only question is when its going to happen again, Wes Bledsoe, the founder of A Perfect Cause, told the TV station, referring to the likelihood of a nursing home resident falling victim to a sex offender.

A Perfect Cause makes these recommendations for decreasing the threat of nursing home sexual abuse:
