TripInsurance.com Signs as Sponsor for Cruise Radio

Leading Travel Insurance Provider To Sponsor Popular On-Board Radio Network for Cruise Ships.

LOS ALTOS, Calif. (March 29, 2012) -- TripInsurance.com (http://www.tripinsurance.com), the most trusted online resource to help travelers find the travel insurance coverage they need at savings of 40% or more, has signed a new sponsorship agreement with Cruise Radio (http://www.cruiseradio.net), the Internet radio resource for cruise travelers. With this new sponsorship agreement, TripInsurance.com will now be able to reach more than 125,000 listeners and readers each week who have a special interest in vacation cruising. In addition to reaching Web listeners, Cruise Radio is distributed to passengers aboard Royal Caribbean, Holland America, Celebrity Cruise Lines, Norwegian Cruise Lines, Carnival Cruise Lines, and other global cruise carriers.

Cruise Radio caters to the interests of cruise passengers or all ages. More than 15 million passengers booked North American cruises last year, and 33.7 million Americans say they intend to take a cruise sometime in the next three years. Cruise Radio was created to provide these travelers with the latest news and updates on the world of vacation cruising, including cruise planning and special travel packages. By sponsoring Cruise Radio, Tripinsurance will be able to reach cruise travelers as they plan their next vacation trip, offering special insurance offers and packages custom-designed to suit the needs of cruising enthusiasts.

“Cruise travel continues to grow in popularity, but even a journey with the best cruise line has calculated risks. You can become ill or miss a connection on a stopover; there are dozens of things that could happen to ruin your cruise,” said Dan Skilken, President and CEO of TripInsurance.com. ”That’s why experienced cruise travelers take out travel medical policies, trip interruption, cancellation insurance, and other types of coverage. Cruise Radio is the perfect channel to reach our customers.”

“We are delighted to add TripInsurance.com to the Cruise Radio family,” said Doug Parker, Host and Creator of Cruise Radio. “Our listeners are very sophisticated when it comes to travel-related issues. Many of them travel extensively both for pleasure and business, and they understand what could go wrong on their next cruise and what is likely to go wrong. After high-profile events like the Costa Concordia, I am sure that more of our listeners will want to learn more about TripInsurance.com.”

FRA Welcomes New of Timber Future Price Hike

FRA has welcomed news that lumber prices in the US are rising off the back of a lack of credit in the lumber distribution industry.

Seattle, United States, March 29, 2012 -- Forestry Research Associates (FRA) has welcomed news that lumber prices in the US are rising off the back of a lack of credit in the lumber distribution industry.

The research and analysis consultancy said that prices have risen 30 per cent in the past five months and that this was being prompted by distributors increasingly buying futures as a hedge in light of a lack of credit. They are finding it difficult to obtain the credit they need to buy lumber with cash, so they are resorting to futures.

Leonard Commodities analyst, Brian Leonard, told Reuters, "Distributors are having trouble buying lumber in the tight stocks environment and also they can't get capital from banks so they're buying futures.”

“This is great news for timber investors,” claimed FRA’s analysis partner, Peter Collins, who added, “more and more people are looking to the timber industry as a possible asset class, due to its flexible nature and the fact is does not correlate closely with equities.”

Recent figures show interest in lumber futures is up 18 per cent since January, while spot lumber prices have also risen by 12 per cent so far this year.

Leonard explained the attraction of buying up futures: "One contract of lumber is now worth about $28,000 and you can own a futures contract for $2,100. They're buying on margin, which is what the futures market is for."

"I have customers who have a good 50 to 80 percent more volume in futures than they used to own,” he added.

FRA is a keen promoter of forestry investment and supports projects such as those run by firms like Greenwood Management, which runs plantations of non-native, fast-growing tress species and offer investors the chance to buy up section of plantation land. Greenwood runs its projects in Brazil and Canada and investors can start with as little as $10,000.

Speed Dancing: America's Newest Dating Craze

Single adults of all ages are invited to meet numerous new friends on the dance floor, April 27, 2012, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel San Francisco Airport.

San Rafael, CA, March 29, 2012 -- Contact: Tom Andrews, 415/507-9962

Move over, Speed Dating. Hello, Speed Dancing, where singles can meet many more partners in an evening, and have much more fun! America’s first-ever Speed Dancing Party takes place on Friday, April 27, 2012, 8pm-Midnight, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, 1333 Bayshore Hwy, Burlingame CA 94010.

“The most popular format for meeting singles meeting face-to-face at an event has always been the Dance Party,” says Rich Gosse, Chairman of The Society of Single Professionals, who has produced over 1,000 singles dances throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand over the past 33 years. “Often we get hundreds to attend a dance, giving singles so many choices. The problem is shyness. You have to put your ego on the line and ask someone else to dance, risking a bruising rejection. So except for the very self-confident, most people meet very few new friends at a singles dance. The solution is Speed Dancing, where everyone meets everyone on the dance floor, three minutes at a time.”

Rich Gosse is America’s foremost authority on finding a romantic partner. He is the author of eight books on this subject, including You CAN Hurry Love, Singles Guide to America, and A Good Man Is EASY to Find (“This is a great book!” Oprah Winfrey). His expert advice has been featured by ABC, CBS, CNBC, CNN, Fox, Oprah, Cosmopolitan, Newsweek, Playboy, Playgirl, The Wall Street Journal, The London Times, The Australian, The New Zealand Herald, etc. Rich Gosse is available to the news media for interviews by calling 415-479-3800. His personal website is http://www.richgosse.com.

The Speed Dancing Party is sponsored by The Society of Single Professionals, the world’s largest non-profit singles organization. Adults of all ages are welcome. The cost is $20 at the door. Anyone wishing more information may visit http://www.thepartyhotline.com or call 415-507-9962.
