The broadcast aired live on 8/22/2008 at 2:00PM and is now available on the web at http://www.federalnewsradio.com/index.php?nid=357&sid=1465941.

The article “Market to Uncle Sam” features CEO and chief strategist Gal Borenstein, an industry veteran who’s marketed to, and for, the government over the past 15 years. ”If you're a Fortune 1,000 company, and you don't have a robust busi¬ness-to-government channel, you're essentially leaving millions of dollars on the table for competitors,” Borenstein tells fellow marketers. He also strongly advocates registration with the General Services Administration (GSA). “Individual government agencies have created their own con¬tracting vehicles. But still, if you don't have a GSA schedule, you'll have a much harder time proving your viability.”

Additionally, the article lauds the success of The Borenstein Group’s integrated marketing campaign for ADT Federal Systems’ SecTech ’08 conference. In collaboration with ADT, Borenstein developed an effective multimedia campaign -- incorporating web, print and radio advertising -- aimed at increasing event attendance among key government officials. As a result of the campaign, government attendance more than doubled from the previous year.

Fairfax, VA, October 23, 2006 -- The Borenstein Group, a leading Fairfax County-based, integrated branding, marketing communications, advertising, and public relations agency, today announced that the agency's pro bono public relations services added to the overall fund raising efforts to the Kham Aid Foundation who sponsored a bike ride called "Ride for Green" on July 30, 2006 through Tibet in order to raise funds to build greenhouses for children throughout the region.

Six cyclists embarked on a 15-day, 800 kilometer journey across the rugged Tibetan plateau. They rode for a cause: better nutrition for Tibet's children. Funds raised by the ride will build greenhouses for a minimum of five primary schools with a combined enrollment of at least fourteen hundred children.

Since the climate of Tibet is too cold to permit growing of most vegetables in the open air, the greenhouses will help nourish an entire generation of Tibetan children for at least 10 years. Tibetan children will be able to eat far more nutritious food than the barley and butter-tea they customarily consume.

Construction and management of the school greenhouses will be overseen by Kham Aid Foundation, an American charity that has been operating greenhouse projects in Tibet since 2003. Kham Aid greenhouses currently supply vegetables to over 600 students daily. The schools that will benefit from the Ride will be selected on the basis of need, suitability of their land, and farming experience of their teachers. It's estimated that each new greenhouse during its ten-year lifetime will provide food throughout the school year to students at a cost of only $4.40 per child per year. The ride raised in excess of $50,000.

"We are extremely honored to have the support of The Borenstein Group and its client CR Software and Warren Dedrick for "Ride for Green" bike ride," said Pamela Logan, founder of Kham Aid Foundation. "The Borenstein Group's pro bono public relations services are enormously appreciated both for their own sake and for the momentum they added to our overall fundraising efforts."

Gal Borenstein, CEO & Chief Strategist of The Borenstein Group, stated: "We are happy to provide our public relations services to this worthy cause. We are proud that our efforts will help feed and educate hundreds of children in the Kham region for many years to come."

Donations are welcome for the greenhouse program at any time. For more information, contact the Kham Aid Foundation, khamaid@khamaid.org, or go to www.khamaid.org.

The site was created for the company's first consumer-friendly, portable medication safety checking system, RxWise.

RxWise evaluates the potential risks for an adverse drug reaction (ADR) by analyzing a consumer's self-reported (or insurance claims-based) medical history and checking it against the medications he or she is taking. RxWise is contained on a portable USB Flash Drive, or accessible through the Internet. By using sophisticated risk-assessment software, RxWise provides important, personalized information about medications that may cause an ADR--the fourth leading cause of death in the United States.

The product covers a broad range of prescription, herbal, and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. The RxWise analysis can be more effective than limited drug interaction analysis alone because it evaluates the contribution of an individual's medical conditions together with any OTC/herbal medicines the consumer is using to complete the ADR risk assessment. RxWise also provides the consumer with a set of disease management advisories based on current national clinical practice guidelines.

Approximately 1,200 entries were received from a wide range of healthcare organizations. The judging criteria in the Best Interactive Site category focused on the site's interactive features and technologies: for example, providing health information, health evaluations; establishing ongoing relationships via personal web pages, e-newsletters, email alerts; facilitating community groups.

Winners of platinum, gold, silver, and distinction awards represented 16 industry classifications, from hospitals and health systems to pharmaceutical firms and online health companies.

Gal Borenstein, CEO & Chief Strategist of The Borenstein Group, said, "We are very pleased to have been recognized and awarded a platinum medal in the category of best interactive website."

"This win resulted because of the strong and valued partnership we share with Iatrogen, LLC, and its mission to raise awareness among consumers, employers, and health plan managers that Adverse Drug Reactions are a pervasive and dangerous problem."

M. Lee Morse, President and Founder of Iatrogen, said: "The intelligent and innovative thinking approach that The Borenstein Group used to introduce a ground-breaking solution to the market is a huge part of this win. We look forward to our continued work with The Borenstein Group to convey the message about medication safety and adverse drug reactions--issues that are of mounting importance to consumers and could pose significant constraints to their healthcare and quality of life."

RxWise was developed by one of the United States' leading ADR avoidance teams. More than 20 million patients have been protected by this team's technologies. The design team was a past winner of the Computerworld Smithsonian Award for best IT in Medicine for its ADR avoidance system. The RxWise team has built and operated ADR avoidance/detection systems for over a dozen U.S. state health systems, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Department of Defense, the Veterans Benefits Administration, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, and large employer groups including General Motors, Ford Motor Company, Chrysler, Goodyear and the Boeing Company.
