BioForce, Inc., makers of fast-acting, toxin-free Myo-Med anti-inflammatory cream, are pleased to announce the inclusion of Myo-Med in the new products line up at the National Athletic Trainers’ Association Annual Meeting in St. Louis, MO, June 17-21. The company launched Myo-Med about a year ago and quickly positioned itself as a favorite with top athletes. Among those endorsing Myo-Med are 2007 NFL MVP Tom Brady, 2006 NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson, NFL superstar Willie McGinest, and WNBA MVP Lisa Leslie. Myo-Med also continues to receive accolades from distance runners and cyclists, contributing to its growth in the health and fitness retail channel.

“The wide appeal of Myo-Med, which extends beyond athletes to arthritis and fibromyalgia sufferers,” said Wayne Beckstead, President of BioForce, Inc., “is our effectiveness combined with a 100% toxin-free product. People love not having to trade their long-term health for immediate relief. They also like the fact that Myo-Med is anti-inflammatory, which means it goes after the inflammation causing the pain rather than just masking the pain.”

In addition to the NATA Annual Meeting, BioForce has laid out an aggressive schedule of expos and athletic events throughout this coming summer and fall where participants will be able to try the product. According to Beckstead, who believes the proof is in the pudding, those who try the product even once have given it overwhelming praise and adopted it as their favorite pain relief product.

Head coach Mike D’Antoni, 57, and the Phoenix Suns are parting ways after a memorable four and a half seasons.

On Tuesday, D’Antoni was signed to take over the head coaching position with the New York Knicks. The decision came after more than a week filled with speculation on whether he would continue as the Suns head coach.

When asked about the decision to leave Phoenix, D’Antoni had nothing but good things to say of his former team.

“My family has been fortunate to call Phoenix our home for the past six years,” said D’Antoni. “We’ve been welcomed by the community and I hope we’ve managed to give back with as much generosity and love as we have received.”

“I have nothing but the utmost respect and appreciation for the Suns Family and the residents of Phoenix. The fans have supported this program with great enthusiasm. I’m proud to have worked with some of the finest players in the NBA and I wish the team continued success.”

Council member companies to propose new technologies to “future proof” new building

The Pittsburgh Technology Council and the Pittsburgh Penguins have announced a partnership wherein the Council is assisting the Penguins in a search for southwestern Pennsylvania’s most innovative materials, technologies and services to be used in the development of a new Pittsburgh arena. To that end, the Council and the Penguins have established a dialogue with the Council’s member companies to assess their innovations and technologies that would “future-proof” the new facility.

The Penguins and the Council jointly will explore technologies and advancements that include but are not limited to:

• on-demand televised replays and touch-screen food menus in luxury suites at the new arena.
• video technology throughout the arena
• video gaming stations
• electronic ticketing
• computerized and integrated lighting and sound systems

On April 17, a live remote video stream was webcast from the Council’s offices over the Penguins’ Web site and currently remains archived there for further reference.

Pittsburgh Technology Council President Audrey Russo hosted Penguins’ Vice President of Sales and Marketing Dave Soltesz during the interview format video, and they discussed the types of innovations the Penguins desire to incorporate into the new arena. Beside the Penguin’s games, emphasis also was placed on the fact that the new facility also will be a venue for in excess of 150 shows and events each year, like concerts, ice shows, circuses and other entertainment. Council member companies were invited to view the video, and more than 400 unique visitors viewed the live and archived webcast.

Each participating Council member company thereafter was invited to submit a 200-word description detailing ways their company could provide innovative technology solutions that the Penguins could embed into the design, construction and operation of the new arena. By the May 1 deadline, the Council had received 60 submissions, which the Penguins staff is reviewing prior to one-on-one meetings that are scheduled to take place during the second and third weeks of May.

“We are looking for the latest and best advancements in technology to incorporate into the new arena and our overall business plan,” said Dave Soltesz, the team’s vice president of sales and marketing. “We are excited about the chance to work with the Tech Council and benefit from the knowledge of some of the most creative minds in the country right here in Pittsburgh.”

“The Council is very excited to be able to take part in this industrious and compelling vision for southwestern Pennsylvania,” said Audrey Russo. “This arena will serve our region for decades to come, and it will be an icon of transformation for our city and our region. The facility will be a world-class symbol of innovation and represents the Penguins’ leadership as a catalyst for change in Pittsburgh. At the same time, we are pleased to be able to bring this opportunity to our participating members as a value-added service.”

The Pittsburgh Technology Council is the first and largest regional technology trade associations in the United States with approximately 1,400 member companies within its geographic territory of 13 counties in southwestern Pennsylvania. Its mission is to contribute to the success of the region’s technology businesses, and it focuses on developing the economic strength of several industry clusters, including information technology, life sciences, advanced manufacturing, advanced materials and environmental technology.
