Eye Interactive Releases “Stop Those Fish” for iPhone & iPad

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 20, 2012

Eye Interactive, Inc. today announced the release of its new game, “Stop Those Fish.” The game was released worldwide on the Apple App Store as a universal app for the iPhone and iPad. “Stop Those Fish” is the second title from Eye Interactive. The company’s first title, “Zombie Samurai,” was ranked the #3 free iPad app on Apple’s top charts in November 2011.

What is “Stop Those Fish?” According to the company, the backstory is as follows:

“A league of hyper-intelligent fish is plotting our destruction from their secret lair at the bottom of the sea. You are the leader of a small band of bears fighting for the survival of all land dwellers. In this epic battle that pits bear against fish, do you have what it takes to drown the fish uprising before it’s too late?

You have one goal…stop those fish. Guide your weapons towards the fish frenzy by drawing a path to the enemy. But remember, the enemy is always in motion. So you must not aim at where they are, but instead at where they will be. Your resources are limited. So it will be necessary to conserve ammo by stopping many fish with a single shot. To help you accomplish your goal, numerous upgrades of your boats, weapons and defenses are available. The game features more than 50 levels that steadily increase in complexity as you fend off a wide variety of enemy fish with different abilities. Don’t let them turn the tides on you!”

GAME FEATURES:

Frantic and addictive trajectory-based gameplay!
More than a dozen varieties of enemy fish.
Multiple game modes, including Daytime & Midnight Modes and The Cage.
More than a dozen game scenes.
Boat and weapon upgrades to keep the fish at bay.
Superb graphics and animation with catchy sound effects and music.
P4RC.com rewards, with an exclusive game mode for P4RC members.
OpenFeint and Game Center support (with leaderboards and achievements).
iPhone 4 retina display support.
Universal app support for all iOS devices.

“With gameplay reminiscent of 80s classics, but updated with a modern casual gaming look and feel, ‘Stop Those Fish’ is an instant classic in its own right,” said Jason Seldon, Founder and CEO of Eye Interactive. “There is nothing in the App Store today like ‘Stop Those Fish,’ with its unique mix of trajectory-based gameplay and strategic defense.”

“Stop Those Fish” is also the first title to include the new P4RC SDK from P4RC, Inc. P4RC (pronounced pärk) is a mobile engagement platform that rewards mobile users with P4RC points, which can be redeemed for real-world rewards in P4RC’s in-app marketplace.

The game is available on the App Store at a price of $ 1.99.

HomeGain Releases 2011 Home Improvement Survey Results

Emeryville, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) January 19, 2011

HomeGain.com, the first website to offer web-based free instant home values, today announced that it has released the results of its nationwide home improvement and home staging Home Sale Maximizer™ survey.

HomeGain surveyed nearly 600 real estate professionals nationwide and configured a list of the top 10 do-it-yourself home improvements that cost under $ 5,000 and benefit sellers most when they sell their homes.

According to the HomeGain survey, the top five home improvements that real estate professionals recommend to home sellers based on average cost and return on investment (from highest to lowest ROI) are:

1. Cleaning and de-cluttering ($ 290 cost / $ 1,990 price increase / 586% ROI)

2. Lightening and brightening ($ 375 cost / $ 1,550 price increase / 313% ROI)

3. Home staging ($ 550 cost / $ 2,194 price increase / 299% ROI)

4. Landscaping ($ 540 cost / $ 1,932 price increase / 258% ROI)

5. Repairing electrical or plumbing ($ 535 cost / $ 1,505 price increase / 181% ROI)

Cleaning and de-cluttering continues to rank as the top suggested home improvement (since the survey was originally conducted in 2000), recommended by 99 percent of real estate professionals, costing less than $ 300 and returning a value of nearly $ 2,000 to the home’s sale price, or a 586 percent return on investment.

“Sellers need to prepare their homes for sale before putting them on the market,” said Louis Cammarosano, General Manager at HomeGain. “Homes that have initial appeal have a better shot at selling faster and closer to the asking price than homes rushed to the market with no improvements.”

Rounding out the top 10 low cost, do-it-yourself home improvements includes: updating electrical systems and/or plumbing, updating the kitchen and bathrooms, replacing or shampooing carpets, painting interior walls, repairing damaged floors, and painting the outside of the home.

The home improvement projects with the highest price increases to a home’s resale value are updating the kitchen ($ 1,265 cost / $ 3,435 price increase), followed by painting the outside of the home ($ 1,467 cost / $ 2,222 price increase) and home staging ($ 550 cost / $ 2,194 price increase).

Teen Pop Sensation Lea Marie Releases Debut CD Single ‘World of Wonders’

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 7, 2008

In today’s world of music and easy accessibility to new music online, it is hard to find a “smash” single from an artist who is breaking out on the internet. That is about to change quickly as sixteen year old teen pop star Lea Marie releases her new online single, “World Of Wonders,” in advance of her new full length self-titled release which will be available on September 16, 2008.

This year, Lea Marie is set to make her mark as a viable asset to the music industry. In a business so fiercely competitive, “Lea Marie’s talent and work ethic put her at the top of my list of teen singer/songwriters most likely to succeed,” states John Braheny, author of “The Craft and Business of Songwriting.”

The encouraging response is partially due to one of Lea Marie’s very first reviews by Music Connection Magazine. In October 2007, the publication named “World of Wonders” and “Your Brother’s Girl” the “#1 Pop Demo of 2007.” Music Connection went on to state, “It’s hard to imagine a package that’s tighter than this one.” “In every way, 16-year-old Lea Marie’s music and visual presentation are commercially viable.”

Currently “World Of Wonders,” is available online at iTunes and CD Baby. Since the CD single release of World of Wonders, traffic for Lea Marie’s Myspace page has tripled and more people are taking note of her new video for the song at Lea Marie’s YouTube page (http://www.youtube.com/leamariemusicdotcom).

For more information on Lea Marie, visit her website at http://www.leamariemusic.com or at Lea Marie’s MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/leamariemusic.

Jury Verdict Research Releases Medical Malpractice Study

Palm Beach Gardens, FL (PRWEB) July 11, 2005

Plaintiff awards for medical malpractice cases are on the rise, according to Jury Verdict Research®’s latest, Medical Malpractice: Verdicts, Settlements and Statistical Analysis Updated Edition. Plaintiffs received a median malpractice award of $ 1.2 million in 2003, up from $ 1 million in 2002.

“Even though we’re showing the median medical malpractice award is a bit higher in 2003, we are still showing that the odds of a plaintiff receiving a favorable verdict are relatively low,” said Jennifer Shannon, Jury Verdict Research® managing editor. The new study reports that plaintiffs have a 36 percent chance of receiving a favorable verdict.

Plaintiff Recovery Probabilities, Medical Malpractice

Year – Recovery Probability

1997 – 35%

1998 – 33%

1999 – 36%

2000 – 36%

2001 – 38%

2002 – 37%

2003 – 36%

Overall – 36%

Since 1997, the award median for medical malpractice cases has been increasing, except for a small decrease in 2001, and the trend continues through 2003. The median award for medical malpractice, overall from 1997 through 2003, is $ 753,901. The award median reflects the middle value of awards listed in ascending order, so it provides the most accurate gauge of nationwide trends.

This study also reports on the median awards and settlement amounts for specific liabilities within the medical malpractice category, such as childbirth and negligent surgery, as well as specific injuries for medical malpractice awards. It includes charts and graphs for quick references to important medical malpractice award data.

Based on a database of more than 250,000 nationwide personal-injury plaintiff and defense verdicts and settlements, the Medical Malpractice booklet also includes:

The median number of months from incident to trial date

Punitive award data

Complete analysis of settlement awards

Noteworthy case summaries for both verdicts and settlements

Copies of Medical Malpractice: Verdicts, Settlements and Statistical Analysis Updated Edition are available from Jury Verdict Research® for $ 48.75 plus $ 5.50 shipping/handling. To order or for more information call 1-800-341-7874; visit http://www.lrp.com/medmal.html.

Jury Verdict Research® maintains the only nationwide database of more than 250,000 plaintiff and defense verdicts and settlements, resulting from personal injury claims. The data are reported, tabulated and analyzed to determine values, trends and deviations for 400 injuries and 300 liabilities. Jury Verdict Research® is a division of LRP Publications, Inc.
