Charlie Allen, songwriter and country musician, host of “American Farmer” on Discovery Channel releases his theme song-video for the show.
Nashville, TN – River Run Records of Nashville announced that country musician Charlie Allen released a new music video of his song “American Farmer” which he wrote as the theme song for the Discovery Channel series American Farmer.
Allen hosts the American Farmer series which began airing in fall of 2011 and showcases advancements in agriculture and farming. Producers traveled around the country to cover the people, places, and issues impacting all areas of farm country.
An east Tennessee native, Allen possesses a down-to-earth personality which connects with fans of all ages and backgrounds. His song “American Farmer” evokes strong emotions and points out the dependence we have on the farmers across our land. Allen said, “I know how hard farmers work, the long hours they put in; I’ve seen their hands. So I’m glad I can help others appreciate their efforts. “
Indeed Allen’s song explores the dedication and hard work required to bring crops to harvest. His agent and producer of the video, Diane Delena of River Run Records, praised Allen’s song-writing abilities, “Charlie wanted listeners to understand that farmers and their families put their whole lives into their work. The words in this song really stress the idea that American farmers are devoted to their work and how much we all depend on each other.”
Allen’s voice communicates beyond the words he puts to paper which connects with listeners. You can hear it in the words of this song where Allen sings about the everyday work of the farmer, then he stops and asks, “Where would we be without farmers?” It’s that ability to point out the obvious that has gained him a strong following amongst his fans.
Charlie Allen can be seen performing the “American Farmer” theme song and the song can be downloaded online at http://vimeo.com/

FastTrack Scripting Host Now Offers Two New Licensing Options, Including a Free Version, Designed For Smaller Business Environments
Binary Research International Inc. (BRI), the authority on workstation cloning and migration since 1997 and a provider of cutting-edge software solutions, training and services, announced today two new licensing options for FastTrack Scripting Host. FastTrack Express is a free version of the scripting software, while the Small Business Edition of FastTrack is available for environments with 50 machines or less.
FastTrack Scripting Host was developed for organizations looking for ways to make more efficient and effective use of their Network Administrators’ time. One of the most basic, often overlooked, means of achieving this is by automating the repetitive and mundane tasks required of a Network Admin through the use of scripts.
“Scripting might not be the ‘sexiest’ IT topic around, but it is one of those fundamental tools that can make a huge difference to the best use of an Administrator’
FastTrack Scripting Host (FSH) offers a powerful and simple to use alternative to languages such as Powershell. FSH is a scripting language designed primarily for scripting Windows 7 and XP clients. While Microsoft moves scripting more and more towards programming, FastTrack Scripting Host heads in the opposite direction. FastTrack Scripting Host is a scripting language, but it is so high-level and easy to use that it resembles configuration more than programming. The cornerstone paradigm is: One operation = one script line.
For smaller organizations, two new licensing options have been created:
• FastTrack Express is a FREE version of the software. This version, limited to use on 10 machines, provides the ability to create scripts and to utilize them on client computers. For access, visit:http://www.fasttrackscript.com/
• The Small Business Edition contains all the functionality of the Enterprise edition and is aimed at the 50 machine (or less) environment. At $499, this version of FSH is an affordable and effective option for smaller organizations. Trialware is available at: http://www.binaryresearch.net/
FSH is constantly being developed to provide out-of-the-box solutions to Network Administrators’ pain points, including:
Windows 7 deployments – Add automated custom tasks to your unattended Windows 7 deployments. Read more at http://www.fasttrackscript.com/
Backup scripts – Save the cost of a backup solution. Set up client or server backups with a single script line. Read more at http://www.fasttrackscript.com/
Cloud-based inventory – Inventory your computers with a single script command. No internal infrastructure required. Access your inventory from your PC, iPad or mobile device. Read more at http://www.fasttrackscript.com/

VPN logon scripts – Utilize the FSH free SmartDock utility to launch scripts, when computers establish a VPN connection. Read more at http://www.fasttrackscript.com/
Automated installations – Automate software deployments and compile them into exe files for offline computers. Read more at http://www.fasttrackscript.com/
Active Directory scripting – Script creation and querying of Active Directory using a few simple script lines only. Read more at http://www.fasttrackscript.com/

Compile scripts into msi files – Compile script and setup files into a single Windows Installer msi file. Read more at http://www.fasttrackscript.com/
“BRI has distributed a range of great software applications since our days as ‘the Ghost people,’ and I would have to say that FSH is proving to be one of our more successful products as customers see the huge value in getting back to basics to manage their networks,” Dow said. “FSH gives Admins the ability to easily respond to many of the day-to-day headaches inherent in their role.”
Free Trialware of the Small Business and Enterprise editions of FastTrack Scripting Host is available for 21 days at http://www.BinaryResearch.net/

Tekra Corporation introduces a variety of Dura-Go® Colored PVC Films for HP Indigo Digital Presses. Rather than flood printing a white PVC, reduce your ink usage and color match with one of our colored PVC films.
Tekra Corporation introduces a variety of Dura-Go® Colored PVC Films coated on one or two sides for HP Indigo Digital Presses.
Traditional white PVC films require flood printing your ink to achieve a desired background color. This is not only expensive to print, but also inefficient when doing large scale runs. Increased process times and high ink usage can negatively impact your company’s true profit potential.
Reduce your ink consumption and eliminate the need to flood print a white PVC. Color match your ink with the variety of standard colored PVC films that are now available. Like Tekra’s other Dura-Go products, these PVC films provide exceptional print receptiveness, ink anchorage, and color consistency. Make your application stand out from typical white or clear PVC films.
These colorful films can be quickly supplied in short lead times and small minimum quantities in 12” x 18” matte/matte sheets. Dark blue, green, yellow, orange, and red colors are available in 10, 15, and 20 mil thicknesses, while metallic gold and metallic silver is available in a 10 mil thickness.
Typical applications include gift and memberships cards, point of purchase signs, shelf danglers, and menus. For more information on the Dura-Go line of products for digital printing or to request free samples, please contact Tekra Corporation at (800) 491-9578 or visit our website at www.tekra.com.

TRICAST Automates Fraud, Waste & Abuse Surveillance of Pharmacy Benefits
| December 8, 2011 | Filled under releases, United States, Wisconsin |

Milwaukee, WI – TRICAST, Inc. released today its newest version of a proprietary surveillance process that roots out fraud, waste and abuse (FWA) in pharmacy benefits programs, according to President/CEO Greg Rucinski. The management tool, which is software-driven, now boasts several functionality-
“The TRICAST (http://www.tricast.com) approach differs from how others look at pharmacy benefits data,” Rucinski said. Unlike many consulting firms, TRICAST performs a 100% electronic data audit of current PBM utilization, which is incorporated into a project analysis. This approach ensures accurate assessment and measurement of current pharmacy program performance.”
Rucinski (http://www.tricast.com/
The first phase of an FWA audit is similar to that of a Pharmacy Benefit Management (PBM) audit except that the automated TRICAST process looks at the trending of data. Further distinguishing this approach is that TRICAST provides a view from multiple data sources, where outliers are noted via developed medians and other normative factors inherent in superior data analysis.
In phase two of the FWA process, TRICAST conducts a relational analysis between provider, patient and pharmacy data.
For phase three, TRICAST conducts triangulation that pulls out the top outliers in the data.
Finally, in the fourth phase, TRICAST validates against medical claims or implied diagnosis (if medical claims are unavailable)
Anomalies in pharmacy benefits data may take many forms. For example, a TRICAST audit may determine that potential fraud has occurred by detecting one or more common forms of “over-utilization”
There are multiple challenges in tracking FWA that may not be fully captured in drug data analysis alone, and that are enhanced by inclusion of medical data. TRICAST’s approach provides dynamic tools that integrate various data sources to confirm suspected cases of FWA.
Examples of FWA monitoring provided by the TRICAST surveillance process include:
• Outlier utilization
• Drug-use abnormalities
• High-cost claim monitoring
• Inappropriate pharmacy network pricing
• Multiple members utilizing one card
• Abuse monitoring
• Manual claim submission integrity
New Capabilities Provide Compliance with CMS FWA Guidelines for Medicare Part D Plans
TRICAST offers a complete suite of Medicare Part D audit services, including PDE, compliance, rebate, utilization management, clinical programs, and more. TRICAST’s FWA surveillance builds on CMS requirements for FWA monitoring and auditing and provides health plans and PBMs with the tools they need to demonstrate to CMS that they are fully compliant with CMS’s expectations for FWA oversight. By automating FWA oversight, TRICAST takes the burden off plan and PBM personnel and puts clear, actionable reports in the hands of the health plan and PBM staff that are most capable of acting on the report findings.
Likely users who will want to take advantage of the TRICAST FWA surveillance include:
• Health plans for both commercial and Medicare Part D needs
• Prescription Drug Program (PDP) sponsors
• Delegated entities such as Pharmacy Benefit Managers
“TRICAST solutions are all highly customized to our client’s particular needs,” Rucinski said. “Our audit tools provide immediate feedback on PBM and plan management accuracy. Clients can choose their level of involvement in our solutions through a continuum of options. TRICAST reporting experts work with clients to develop a solution that is custom-fit to their particular needs, staffing and budget. If desired, clients can utilize our web-based portals to manipulate data and generate reports, with full training and support from TRICAST staff (http://www.tricast.com/
Rucinski added: “At the other end of the spectrum, clients may prefer a more formalized approach in which TRICAST generates reports and discusses them with designated staff. Our services provide measureable outcomes that benefit our clients and deliver a favorable impact on their compliance as well as their bottom line.”
