Today we talked to Joel Nunez founder of ImHonest.com. ImHONEST.com is a non-traditional lost and found service that provides identification and recovery for items of value. In addition to offering an affordable and user friendly solution for owners to proactively label and register their valuables, ImHONEST.com makes it easy for the finders of lost items to act on their honesty.

ImHONEST.com was founded in 2004 by international marketing executive Joël A.Núñez, after a frantic search for his missing wallet drove him to create a solution that rewards honesty and donates a portion of proceeds to not-for-profit organizations.

The issue of finding lost valuables is becoming growing in importance. According to the Consumer Electronics Association, the average American household now owns 26 consumer electronics products. MP3 players, digital cameras, and notebook computers - all easily lost or misplaced – are three of the top five fastest-growing product segments in the study. Unfortunately, as the number of portable electronic devices continues to grow, so too does the risk of losing them. In fact, a global survey of 900 taxi drivers by mobile devices security firm Pointsec showed that thousands of mobile phones, PDAs and laptops are forgotten in taxis every day.

Two of the most common reasons that lost items are not returned to their owners are: Inability to identify the owner of the lost item and Lack of an easy way to return the found item

The ImHONEST.com system, with its user-friendly label registration and reporting system, solves both of these issues. ImHONEST.com makes it easy for finders of lost items to return the items to their owners by providing:

1. Personalized labels containing a unique ID code
2. Choice of toll-free and online "found item” reporting
3. Over 4,000 drop-off locations at all of The UPS Store® locations
4. Pick-up service from any residence or business location
5. Support for international shipping of found items
6. A gift rewarding the finder's honesty

For more information about Joel and his company please go to his website www.imhonest.com. And for more stories about honest people please check out his blog www.honestyblog.com

Today we talked to Jay Hale and Jake Laughlin co-founders of AllYall.tv and Grayson Daughters co-creator of True Gritz as we celebrate Southern Culture in a Web 2.0 world.

Jay and Jake created AllYall.tv to be the premier spot on the Internet for top-quality videos about the South. They are trying to corral the most original and compelling Southern video content online - from videos about your favorite hole-in-the-wall Southern eateries to content about festivals, Southern politics, sports, businesses, and more. If it makes for a great story, then they want it on video and available for all to see on AllYall.tv.

But that's not all. AllYall.tv is also all about what YOU love about the South! They make it easy for all of their users to upload their own videos, and share them with the rest of the world. We're totally free of charge, and our goal is to showcase not only our own original content, but to also broadcast the things our user community loves about the South.

This is a Southern-style social networking site. Everybody gets his or her own profile to customize, and everybody's invited to the party: mingle with other members, hobnob with artists, share videos, share opinions. For more information about advertising on Jay and Jake's new website or if you just want to stop by for a spell and visit please go to www.AllYall.TV

We also had on Grayson Daughters owner of Waysouth Media. She produces and co-stars in the web show TrueGritz .

When Grayson isn't working on TrueGritz she is a thought leader in new technology. She is an experienced and thoughtful writer, Internet content developer and video/broadcast producer.

Today we talked to Joe Blumberg, an active member of the Men’s Health & Wellness Center “team.” As Chair of the Advisory Board of the Center, Joe has taken the lead in establishing meaningful programs and services for men and their partners as they navigate a health care crisis. He is an advocate for men and for screening and disease prevention as men age.

Joe told us to mark our calendar and plan to join him for the First Annual Men’s Health & Wellness Expo on Saturday, June 14, 2008, from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm in the Saint Joseph’s Carroll Conference & Education Center. Download and print the Expo brochure.

This full-day community education program is free to the public and features a variety of physicians and other health care experts on health and wellness-related topics. Sessions throughout the day will explore how to prevent illness as you age and how nutrition, exercise and stress specifically affect your body’s ability to function in the areas of heart health, prostate health, digestive health, bone health and diabetes prevention.

There will be free health screenings offered throughout the day to both men and women. Screenings include: Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, Blood sugar, Body Mass Index (BMI) and Bone Density. You can also get a
FREE voucher for a PSA (prostate specific antigen) test & DRE (digital rectal exam) by appointment with an Oncology Clinical Nurse Specialist from Saint Joseph’s

The Men’s Health and Wellness Center at Saint Joseph’s is a comprehensive program that meets a variety of men’s needs before, during and after treatment for a health condition. As men age, they often experience low testosterone, heart and vascular disease, cancer, obesity and bone related injuries or illnesses. Good nutrition and exercise, stress reduction techniques such as yoga and meditation, and therapeutic massage can each play a vital role in helping a man regain and maintain vitality and achieve emotional and spiritual well-being.

The Center also educates and helps couples dealing with issues of sexual intimacy and communication, conditions which are exacerbated as men age and during times of illness. For more information about the Men’s Health and Wellness Center at Saint Joseph’s, contact Renee Sevy at (404) 851-5670 or rsevy@sjha.org or go to www.saintjosephsatlanta.org/menshealth
